LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR PLANNING DEPT. SPEAKS The Planning Department would like to offer the following in response to the Feb. 21, 2008 article “Line in the Sand.” The Planning Department agrees that public access to our shoreline is of great importance to the quality of life for our citizens. The department tries to use a variety of tools that are available in order to improve and protect public access to and along the shoreline. The Hawai‘i Coastal Zone Management Act empowers the county to provide and manage adequate public access, consistent with conservation of natural resources, to and along shorelines with recreational value. The Planning Department works with other county authorities, such as the Maui Planning Commission, to achieve reasonable dedication of shoreline areas with recreational value for public use as part of discretionary approvals during the Special Management Area (SMA) permitting process. Recent approvals such as the Wailea Renaissance, Wailea Marriot, Maui Palms, Kapalua Bay Hotel, and the Royal Lahaina improved access by removing pools and structures out of the shoreline setback area, increasing

public parking, improving trails and paths, and providing access for those with disabilities. Maui Land & Pine is constructing a 3.5-mile linear shoreline trail connecting five beaches in West Maui. When land is subdivided, the County Code requires that a right-of-way be dedicated for public use to the shoreline at 1,500 foot intervals provided this is feasible considering safety and terrain. In 2005, the county bought a 600-foot wide, 1.5-mile long strip of coastal land during the Ukumahame Subdivision SMA process. This coastal land is the first phase of the Pali-to-Puamana coastal park plan. The department has also drafted the Countywide Policy Plan that contains policies speaking to assuring public access, not just to shores but also to the mountains. The draft Plan was recently transmitted to the County Council for their review and adoption. The department also helped Tri-Isle RC&D and the Kihei Community Association restore access in Kamaole II and dunes in Kamaole III parks by using sand donated by [the Department of Land & Natural Resources] DLNR and the Whale Sanctuary. These community efforts reflect that active, concerned citizens working in collaboration with the government is an effective way to get things done.

Enforcement of existing rules is a key to success. With only a few enforcement personnel it’s challenging, but the County Council did approve two new zoning inspector positions in this year’s budget. We often seek compliance and improvements to shoreline access when someone proposes to redevelop their oceanfront property. The department is also actively enforcing our existing regulations. For example, in 2006, the department fined a shoreline landowner $50,000 for un-permitted shoreline work. The money will be used for beach nourishment projects. Access that is on private property must be purchased or dedicated by easement to the county in order for the public to have a right to use that access, and many historic access points never were dedicated. While the department is trying to assure access when new development is proposed, we cannot easily go backwards in time regarding already approved developments. The county can condemn lands as was done at Montana Beach, but it’s very expensive. That is why we generally use the SMA and Shoreline permit process to restore access and help property owners keep structures and homes out of harms way from coastal hazards. In 2005, the Department updated the Shoreline Access Guide and added a webbased Inventory of Shoreline Access

Points (www.mauicounty.gov/departments/Planning/czmp/beach.htm). The guide notes if an access point is dedicated to the county. If you would like to add an area that isn’t currently dedicated, contact your elected officials and ask them to support your request. -Thorne Abbott, County of Maui Planning Department

Boat Talk 15 reasons to worry about the Hawai‘i Superferry The state’s doing the whole Hawai‘i Superferry Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) thing bassackwards, which means hearings on how the big boat will affect us are starting up now, after the boat’s been more or less operating for four months. Here are 15 things to think about during the upcoming Maui hearing:

Photo: Rob Parsons

1 Hawai‘i Superferry Inc. officials told the state Public Utilities Commission that, at most, the Alakai would lose 10 days a year to bad weather. Since the boat started service on Dec. 13, she’s missed 14. 2 The Superferry Alakai is, at the moment, still being repaired after being seriously damaged when company officials had it drydocked to repair an auxiliary rudder problem. 3 According to the Feb. 2, 2008 Maui News, Mayor Charmaine Tavares banned all county employees from using the Superferry for official business. 4 Two words: seasick pills. 5 A Dec. 29, 2004 Department of Transportation (DOT) memo written by unknowns and unearthed by the Advertiser during a public records request says requiring a Superferry environmental review before the boat begins service is the “Right thing to do,” brings “Less risk in that we avoid probable challenges,” “Would address

public concerns,” “minimize opposition,” “gain support” and is necessary because “Comments received to date are valid concerns and should not be left unanswered.” 6 Despite investing $1 million in Hawai‘i Superferry, Inc., the Maui Land & Pineapple Company is not using the boat to ship any fruit because, according to the Feb. 3, 2008 Honolulu Advertiser, it’s not “cost-effective.” 7 The boat, despite being capable of carrying 866 passengers and 282 cars, hasn’t carried anywhere near those numbers. 8 It costs an extra $20 on top of the regular passenger fare to get into the Hahalua Lounge that overlooks the boat’s bow. 9 John Lehman, HSF’s Chairman of the Board, is a former U.S. Navy Secretary who once ordered Naval Investigative Service agents to investigate an archbishop simply because he was an outspoken opponent of Lehman’s plan to name a nuclear-powererd attack submarine the USS Corpus Christi. 10 State Senator J. Kalani English sent out a Dec. 18, 2007 press release saying that he “received a report that a Young Brothers vessel carrying goods to Maui was forced to remain outside Kahului Harbor while the Superferry was docked” and that while he understood “that was because of security measures… we should not have to decide between serving inter-island travelers and serving our own residents’ daily needs.” 11 That same Dec. 29, 2004 DOT memo cited above said not doing a Superferry environmental review before

Remember when the Superferry used to do this?

service began “may trigger a challenge where we may be subject to the courts’ schedule and processes.” 12 The unanimous Aug. 23, 2007 Hawai‘i Supreme Court ruling saying that contrary to the insistences of HSF and Governor Linda Lingle, there did in fact need to be a Superferry environmental review. 13 Despite repeated assurances from HSF officials that they intend to return to Kauai, the Superferry has not attempted to return to Nawiliwili Harbor since Aug. 26, 2007, when nearly three-dozen protesters on surfboards blocked its arrival. 14 On Nov. 9, 2007, a few days before Judge Joseph Cardoza lifted the injunction he’d placed on the Superferry preventing it from entering Kahului Harbor, HSF officials told the state Public Utilities Commission that “an emergency exists”

and that they need special expedited review of new promotional fares because “any delay… will result in substantial damage to HSF. The PUC agreed and approved the new fares without public comment or even announcement, which is completely legal in the State of Hawai‘i. 15 Between 2004 and 2007, Hawai‘i Superferry officials spent $175,000 on lobbyists and political campaign contributions—$12,000 of which went to Governor Lingle, HSF’s staunchest supporter during the time. State officials will hold two “informational meetings” on the Hawai‘i Superferry EIS on Monday, Mar. 17 (25 p.m., 6-9 p.m.) at the Henry Perrine Baldwin High School Auditorium, 1650 Ka‘ahumanu Ave., Wailuku.

Bali Spirit

Procedures

Ancient roots bear 21st century fruits Bali is the most celebrated of the 13,000 islands comprising Indonesia. Well-known for its talented artists, sculptors and carvers, it’s also steeped in culture, religion and ceremony, with most of its three million residents following a type of Balinese Hinduism. The island also shares similarities to Maui. Though three times larger, the islands are of remarkably similar shape, including the 10,000-foot volcano Mount Agung on Bali’s larger eastern end. Both islands are, of course, highly dependent on tourists and imported goods, and both share awareness for recent wake-up calls over limitations of mass tourism and the need to pursue a sustainable future. The Indonesian economy took a nosedive in 1998 that led to a proliferation of illegal logging. Over the past decade, Indonesia has had the highest deforestation rate of any country in the world, according to United Nations Environmental Committee statistics. While some places in Bali have made way for strips of luxury resorts, a Hard Rock Café and even McDonald’s and KFC, much remains of the agrarian lifestyle of rice-farmers and of the unique island culture and art. Recently I sat at a short wooden table in the corner of the bustling Bali Spirit Kafe in downtown Ubud, eager to talk story with Made Gunarta, known to friends as Kadek. Serving healthy foods and drinks, the Kafe is one of several businesses at his family compound and has become a favorite of expatriates visiting Bali, many of them taking advantage of the Wi-Fi hotspot to check in on the rest of the world via their laptops. My intention was to talk with Kadek about his handmade furniture from recycled woods, and his part in conceiving of the first annual Bali Spirit Festival. But my bout with the local bugs and dysentery in the past few days brought about my initial question. “Do you have a favorite remedy,” I asked, “for the ‘Bali belly?’” Kadek smiled. “I’ll order you something that works for me,” he said. Soon, two orange-colored drinks arrived. While patrons around us had their coffees and teas, we each sipped our “Belly Juice,” consisting of fresh turmeric and aloe vera, blended with a fresh apple. Before long, my stomach somersaults subsided.

LC Watch All Frank Wanca wanted to do was explain to the Liquor Control Adjudication Board what he saw as a flaw in the way LC personnel alert liquor license holders that they’ve committed a violation. At the Mar. 6 board hearing, Wanca repeatedly admitted that an employee of his establishment—Kala Mart in Kihei—had sold alcohol to a minor back in the summer of 2007, and that he was sorry and would plead no contest to the charge. But, Wanca said, it was crazy for the LC to have given his employee— the same one busted for selling booze to a minor—notification of the violation. As a result, Wanca said, he had no knowledge of the incident until just a month ago. “What incentive does the employee have to tell their employer?” Wanca asked the board members. Unfortunately for Wanca, the board is notoriously hostile to anyone who dares openly criticize either the methods or the motivations of anyone in the LC. Members reacted with predictable harshness.

New Years Eve on Bali

adek’s great-grandfather founded the village of Ubud, so he naturally holds a responsibility for helping guide its wellbeing. He explained the family lineage of artisans. Great-grandfather was an undagi, or Balinese architect. As such, he incorporated spiritual aspects into the practice, including asking permission before cutting the trees and only moving into a dwelling on auspicious days. His grandfather also was a house-builder, while his mom, dad, and uncles were painters. “I got my chisel when I was six years old,” Kadek said. Nowadays, he wears a number of hats, including business owner, landlord, architect, builder, furniture maker, festival organizer and father to four-year old daughter Bella, along with his wife Megan, a native New Yorker. Barely able to speak English, Kadek first visited the U.S. in 1991, when he worked as an agent for an import/export business. Later he traveled often to nearby Java and filled containers with furniture and antiques for clients in San Diego, San Francisco, Taos and elsewhere. He made a number of connections that to this day provide sources of recycled wood from old houses and other structures, including railroad ties from a defunct sugar company railway. Megan, an art history major, helped open their first business at the family compound. Tegun Gallery is a museum-like menagerie of artifacts, antiques and tribal

arts from Bali and throughout Indonesia. The Kafe is indicative of the new wave in Ubud, a growing awareness of health consciousness and environmental stewardship. When the October 2002 bombing of a Kuta discotheque led to a travel ban, the critical blow to the tourist industry led to a flurry of properties for sale. “It was a big reality check on the mass tourism idea,” Kadek said. see BALI, page 12

“When you put someone in charge, they’re responsible,” board member Glen Kunitake told Wanca. “The blame is not on the Liquor Department. The blame is on the guy who hired the employee. He is your representative when you’re absent. Period.” Wanca said he understood that, but then Board chairman Donald Fujii started in on him for failing to review surveillance footage the night of the incident. “You said it was his first time?” Fujii asked. “As a business person, that’s when I’d review the tape.” Even after the board deliberated and announced a fine of $2,000 ($1,000 suspended pending no further violations for a year) board member Jerrybeth DeMello tore into Wanca. “Mr. Wanca, when you leave your establishment, you leave responsibility to them,” she said. Only board member Joe Tanaka seemed to acknowledge that Wanca might have a point. “We checked the procedures, and we feel the procedures are okay,” he said. “But we’ll inform the department of our concerns.”

We may talk about Peak Oil and all that, but Big Oil—which includes our own Tesoro Hawai`i!—still very much has us by the wallet. With oil running $106 a barrel at press time, it’s easy to understand why gas prices have passed Disaster levels and are perilously close to Apocalyptic heights. “Record prices have typically been set in April or May, but not in March,” AAA Regional Manager Richard Velazquez said in a Mar. 7 Pacific Business News web posting. With gas prices topping $3.93 a gallon in Wailuku—and the economy slipping into recession—it’s easy to see why some economists are starting to use the old 1970’s term “stagflation” to describe what’s happening. The profit numbers in the next batch of oil company quarterly reports should really be fascinating.

To the morons who just had to leave all their trash in the Bamboo Forest the other morning: Are you kidding me? You are on Maui, whether for a lifetime or just a few days, experiencing a dream world that few people around the world get to enjoy. The Bamboo Forest is a wonderful place, full of natural, peaceful beauty— so how come you couldn’t have just left your junk food trash in the damned car before you hiked in? I have to say this, though—you were pretty clever about dumping it: you didn’t just drop it in the stream or on the trail, but felt compelled to place it artfully on a broken piece of bamboo like it was a flag. You’re pure class! How lovely that you feel you have the right to trash the planet.

Thorn. In case you haven’t heard of him— and I can’t think of a reason why you would have—he was the Project Technical Manager for the Hawai`i Superferry at the Austal shipyard in Mobile, Alabama. Put much too simply, he’s the guy who actually built the Superferry. Anyway, I called Thorn because I wanted to find out what the people at Austal thought of Hawai`i Superferry, Inc. CEO John Garibaldi’s saying in the Feb. 21, 2008 Honolulu Advertiser that a “design flaw” in the Superferry’s rudder was at fault for the boat’s recent pitching troubles. “That’s an erroneous statement,” Thorn—who strangely enough hadn’t been asked his views on the Superferry’s notorious rudder problems until this morning—told me. “There was a design change that we made that didn’t filter down to this boat. It’s not a major big deal—well, it was a major big deal that we had to go back and fix it—but it happens. The problem goes back to [designers in] Australia. That’s actually part of the issue, but we’re doing a lot of our own [design] work now. It’s just one of those things.” Now we may just be splitting hairs on this whole “design flaw” vs. “unmade design change” issue, but Thorn did seem really optimistic about the Superferry’s current state of repair. Of course, this might be because yesterday Thorn and the rest of his Superferry team won the “Engineering Project of the Year” award from the Mobile Area Council of Engineers. Anyway, Thorn finished up our chat by saying that Austal workers have finished fixing the Superferry’s rudder problems, and are now fixing the damage caused when Honolulu shipyard workers apparently “misblocked” the boat as they drydocked her. “She’s a great ship, man, she really is,” Thorn told me. “We just have to get her running on a consistent basis. Should be a couple, two-three weeks now.”

Let’s start the week off right—with a lawsuit filed by five citizens alleging that in 2007 the Maui County Council’s Land Use Committee repeatedly violated state open meetings laws while deciding what the hell to do with the big Wailea 670 project. “The Hawai‘i Sunshine Act requires that the County Council allow public testimony on every agenda item at every meeting,” Lance Collins, the attorney for the five citizens, said in a press release sent out today. “Last year during the Wailea 670 meetings, Land Use Committee Chair Mike Molina avoided public testimony requirements by engaging in a running recessed meeting several times.” Now I can just visualize Wailea 670 “representative” Charlie Jencks throwing a hissy over this one, sputtering and stammering about how public comment just droned on and on during Land Use Committee hearings on Wailea 670, and that is actually a fair point. Many people did get to testify in public on this project. But that’s not the issue: for years, Wailea 670 boosters like Jencks have been sneering that they had an “entitlement” to the land. And using the strictest, narrowest legal definitions, they were correct. Hence the beauty of today’s lawsuit, which is every bit as narrow and legalistic as the arguments used by the Wailea 670 people. The law is the law, right?

Across the country, the sub-prime mortgage-lending crisis is ballooning into a full-fledged cataclysm and may in fact be dragging the entire nation into recession. Foreclosures are rising, home prices are falling. Can you think of a better time to jump into the local real estate market? And can you think of a better, sharper person to just walk in and clean house (so to speak) than… James “Kimo” Apana? I certainly can’t—and neither can Prudential, which could barely contain their glee in an ad that’s running in today’s Maui News classifieds. “Welcome Kimo!” the ad announces. “As a former Mayor of Maui, Kimo’s knowledge of the community and its people are unsurpassed. Once again, Kimo is showing his willingness to work with and help the people of Maui fulfill their dreams of home ownership.”

Remember these guys? the Superferry would be able to sail again. HSF officials announced today that she’ll stay in drydock another six weeks. “[W]ork to repair damage to the ship that occurred during the drydocking process is going to take longer than was previously projected,” stated a McNeil Wilson Communications press release I received this afternoon. “Based on the latest repair schedule, reservations for sailings after April 22 are now being accepted.” April 22? Hey, the Superferry still exists, right? It wasn’t totally smashed into a million pieces when they hauled her out of the water, right? And all these delays aren’t just so the company can figure out a way to tell us that they really, Really, REALLY screwed the pooch?

SUNDAY, Mar. 9 I’m just asking.

MONDAY, Mar. 10 Speaking of screwing the pooch, the news today is just packed with evidence that the War in Iraq is yet again headed for complete disaster. President George W. Bush and Republican presidential nominee John McCain insist we’re winning, so how come the Associated Press is reporting today that the monthly cost of the war is now running at $12 billion? Typical inflationary pressures? Remember the good old days when the war cost just $9 billion a month? Of course, if you really want to get nostalgic you can think back all the way to 2003, when the Bush Administration was saying the “oil revenues” would pay for the war and we’d have lower gas prices to boot. Yeah, good times… Anyway, suicide bombers killed eight American soldiers today, the first

time this has happened in about a year. But there’s also good news! Vice President Dick Cheney’s old company KBR, Inc. has finally stopped supplying our troops with “unmonitored and potentially unsafe” water, according to an official Pentagon report obtained by the AP. KBR insists it meets all our military’s “contract standards” and has an “unwavering” commitment to our troops’ safety, but otherwise can’t really explain why “dozens” of our servicemen and women got sick when exposed to the water.

TUESDAY, Mar. 11 And now some really bad news about a war that has yet to start. Today Admiral William Fallon resigned as our head of Central Command, which has complete military authority over the Persian Gulf region. Fallon’s ousting–resignation was apparently not his idea– is apparently due to his outspoken views (highlighted in a recent Esquire profile) that a war with Iran would not be in our best interests. “Admiral Fallon’s decision to resign is yet one more example of this Administration silencing our top military leaders,” U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D, Hawai‘i) said in a press release sent out hours after the news broke. “It is not only necessary but mandatory that these military experts who have spent years in the field serving our country have the ability express their concerns without fear of censure or reprisal.” Get updates throughout the day from Anthony Pignataro sent to your cellphone by texting “follow apignataro” to 40404.

Souhlaris had set up the stand at the town’s garbage transfer station, and Stenhouse said there might be municipal liability issues, especially if other food vendors followed Souhlaris and set up stands at the dump.

Two Park Vista High School girls who admitted that they swiped money off the table of a Girl Scout selling cookies at a supermarket in Boynton Beach, Fla., in January told WPBF-TV later that they had no remorse. “We went through all that effort to get [the money],” one said on camera. “We got all these charges [against us], and we had to give the money back. I’m kind of pissed.” Added the other, “I’m not sorry. I’m just pissed that I got caught.” The victim’s mother said that the girls returned to the supermarket the next day and taunted the little girl.

In January, Shafkat Munir, 26, was sentenced to 12 months in jail for an attempted hoax in Lancashire County, England, in 2007 after receiving three speeding tickets. Rather than pay the fines, totaling the equivalent of about $350 (and retain his license, since his record was otherwise clean), Munir created his own death certificate to get the charges dismissed. Said an official, “I have never known anyone to go to such lengths [over speeding tickets].” The judge also revoked Munir’s license.

ROBREPORT BALI: continued from page 6 The Kafe is also home to non-profit organizations like the Sumatran Orangutan Society office, which fights rainforest habitat destruction. The corner where we sat featured SOS t-shirts, recycled shopping bags sewn with plastics tetra-pak containers and other products benefiting worthy organizations. A few years ago, Kadek and Megan started Balispirit.com, promoting healthy living, eco-consciousness, healing and spiritual practices, including yoga. They opened a small yoga space—12 feet by 24 feet—that drew increasing crowds. Soon they converted Kadek’s export warehouse into The Kafe, featuring salads, soups, juices and coffees.

he Kafe gets organic greens from Sari Organik, a small experimental family-size farm growing chemical-free vegetables, fruits and rice. Situated in the middle of rice fields from one horizon to the other, Sari Organik provides salaries for 15 families with their gardens, food processing and an open-air restaurant for those willing to make the 10-minute walk up from Ubud. Motor scooters are also able to navigate the winding path amidst the dozens of rice paddies. Under the direction of a charming Israeli expatriate named Oded, Sari Organik is creating a fair trade system where farmers sell directly to customers, and also grow indigenous, more nutritional varieties of rice, processing it themselves to ensure a whole-grain rice. Vegetables thrive under bamboo-framed shade houses, producing a range of

healthy foods. Most of the farmers are young and proud of their work, and the enthusiastic customer response. “The Balinese used to eat a lot of pork,” Kadek said. “Now it’s getting back to more vegetables.” The focus on healthy living has been a boon to Bali’s visitors and people alike. Kadek and Megan bought a larger space and built the Yoga Barn, using recycled materials. A stunning three-story creation, it provides a community space for music, dance, yoga and more. The integration of all these things somehow gave birth to the Bali Spirit Festival, where visiting musicians, artists, teachers and workshop leaders carry out a week-long slate of activities. The kick-off event featured a benefit concert by Michael Franti, raising $25,000 for the Bumi Sehat Birthing Center—a clinic for

Balinese women to have low-cost midwife and medical care. The previous evening, Elle magazine had done an interview with Kadek and Megan. Today, they both seemed calm, despite juggling scores of festival details. It’s possible that Kadek found his flair for gala events when he and his uncle traveled to Seattle in 1995 for the Bumbershoot Festival. Creating a feature called Burning Spirit, they constructed an 18-foot tall paper mache statue. After acquiring city permits, they then set it ablaze, right underneath the Space Needle. When asked if this could have been the seed for the Burning Man gatherings, Kadek laughed and said he didn’t know. Yet, it was certainly similar to the New Year’s Eve ceremony we witnessed a few nights earlier. Young men of the various villages comprising Ubud spend two weeks constructing large bamboo-framed Ogoh-Ogohs, grandiose monsters symbolizing the inner demons of evil energies or uncontrolled desires. After parading them through town, accompanied by a fascinating cacophony of gamelan musicians, they are then burned, symbolizing purification and transporting the demons away. The following day, Nyepi, is the Day of Silence. The previous night’s purification ceremony allows one to begin the New Year “empty” and to meditate on the good. “Religion is like a big frame for life,” Kadek said. “Inside, you need a good picture. It should involve all the various talents.” Kadek is also on the town’s development committee, and helps oversee planning for the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary of Padangtegal, an oasis of ancient trees home to 300 native longtailed macaques. Revered as a sacred Balinese Hindu site, written records indicate a temple was built there in the mid14th century. Other archaeological evidence indicates the site may have been a Vishnu Temple dating as far back as the ninth century. Balinese Hinduism combines aspects of Animism, Ancestor Worship, Hinduism and Buddhism. Kadek told me his great-grandfather helped rebuild the main temple in 1952. Now a popular tourist attraction, visitor entry fees have paid to expand the sanctuary by four hectares, or about 10 acres. Tree-planting certificates are available to expand the forested area with some of more than 115 species of trees identified in the sanctuary. Kadek believes it’s beneficial to expand this area for educational and recreational purposes, as well as to allow the continuation of ceremonial practices. The monkeys, he says, are the guardians of this spiritual place. Deeply rooted in its cultural past, Bali thrives today, integrating the old and new with a style all its own. In many ways, it provides a unique mind-body-spirit blueprint to find harmony in an increasingly crowded and cluttered world. MTW

State legislators meet for just 60 working days a year, and during that time scramble to craft and pass all sorts of bills. Here’s a look at three that aren’t getting nearly the publicity they deserve:

THE MENTALLY ILL AND PRISON One thing’s for sure: the state has a huge job to do, dealing with a prison population where four of 10 inmates are mentally ill. And, according to a recent Pew Center report, this is the first time that one in 10 Americans is behind bars. America is the world’s No. 1 incarcerator. In Hawai‘i, there’ve been major problems with overcrowding and dealing the mentally ill who find themselves behind bars. The U.S. Department of Justice even sued

MARCH 13, 2008

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

the state for not treating mentally ill prisoners up to modern day standards. There’s just not enough room to house prisoners here, and so state officials outsource the job to privately run prisons in Arizona. Recently, the State of Hawai‘i decided to build “tent-like” structures to house more inmates here in the islands. But the tents are just a short-term solution—and a way to capture federal dollars that were earmarked for a facility like the one planned for Pu‘unene but are going to expire at the end of the year. The elephant in the room is that the problem of overcrowding could soon be magnified. This year Arizona Governor Janet Nepolitano is pushing legislation to stop the free importation of murderers, rapists and other felons into her state. “It’s a matter of public safety,” Dennis Burke, her chief of staff, says. And depending on what happens there, Hawai‘i may need to ramp up, and quickly. But the state government hasn’t been able to do much quickly. And when it’s tried, it’s stepped on toes and broken laws—a la the Superferry. The State of Hawai‘i was first brought up on charges of mishandling its incarcerated by the Department of Justice in the 1990s. In 2006, state officials formed yet another task force to study some of the issues and propose solutions. The legislature noted in the language first ordering the task force that there had been a host of proposals, but to organize them better, they should first do a study. Maui’s own Senator Rosalyn Baker (D, South and West Maui) chaired the task force and presented its findings to the 2008 legislature. By all accounts, they produced a comprehensive, valuable report, chock-full of solutions. But the slow beast that is government doesn’t run. Hence it’s not really surprising that a bill passing through the state halls this session that would have attempted to address a portion of the problems at Maui Community Correctional Center (MCCC), has now changed from action to just another task force study. On Maui there’s a shortage of mental health workers and

inadequate mental health facilities to deal with the growing numbers of mentally ill people who find themselves in jail. The state psychiatrist comes just twice a month. If someone’s in crisis, he or she gets shipped to Oahu, either to the correctional center there or to the state hospital. Senate Bill 2524 originally required all community correctional centers to set up separate mental health areas for prisoners with mental health issues. It would also have kept those with mental illness in quarters separated from the rest of the prison population. And the bill sought to end the practice of putting unruly, mentally ill prisoners in solitary confinement. Says the chair of the State Council on Mental Health, Ku‘ulei Kilioa, “If you take anyone and put them in solitary confinement, if they don’t go crazy, they should be locked up.” But in testimony before the legislature, state Attorney General Mark Bennett warned that if your job is to handle someone who is dangerous to others, and you can’t confine them away from others, then you’ve got a problem; one that would open the state to costly litigation. Beyond that, there were questions about cost and space. “This bill first asked for separate facilities to be established,” Baker says. “That approach had lots of problems associated with it.” And so another feasibility study is being proposed. Another year gone by. But baby steps are happening. The state’s Adult Mental Health Department has a conditional release program that provides services to the mentally ill who are out of jail but still require psychological treatment. The idea is to keep as many people out of the State Hospital as possible, where treatment costs about $870 per day. That program saved the state $10 million in three months alone, according to a 2008 legislative report. The program’s staff consists of only nine forensic coordinators. Governor Linda Lingle has asked for 21 new positions and $662,250 for Public Safety Department mental

health workers in her 2008 Supplemental Budget request. This year legislators have much on their plate, much to consider and many stakeholders to satisfy. Being a lawmaker isn’t an easy or super-lucrative job, but perhaps with a goal to study results instead of task force findings, more problems and more inefficiencies will be solved instead of simply pondered.

CORPORATE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS “We need change in Washington!” It’s a popular rallying cry heard in the presidential primaries over and over again. But what does it really mean? For some, change means getting big money and corporate interests out of politics. The idea being that decisions would then be made on the merits of the issue, instead of how much big companies and professional lobbyists donate to a politician’s campaign coffers. This year’s state legislators will hear two bills that address these issues head-on. The first, HB 661 would set up a system whereby candidates can access public money to run their campaign. The next bill, SB 2455, was actually killed in the House of Representatives, but was then magically reborn as an amendment to Senate bill 2204. This proposed law changes the amount of money a corporation could give to a candidate from $1,000 to “unlimited.” HB 661, heard on March 11 by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and Labor, has been deferred until March 17. The bill’s still alive, but it has been killed nine years in a row. Bill Moyers, a popular Public Broadcasting System (PBS) journalist, states in a video promoting public campaign financing, “Today elections can be bought,” and that special interest dollars are “choking democracy to death.” Representative Joe Bertram III (D, South Maui) surmises that people are soured on politics and one reason is that they see it as being unduly influenced by those with the money. “People need some sort of reform,” he says. “People need hope, especially in the state with the lowest voter turnout in the nation. And Maui’s Number One.” The Big Island County Council has voted seven to two to be the first pilot case in Hawai‘i. But here the State Campaign Spending Commission regulates campaign spending, even at the county level. So passage of the state bill will decide if the county pilot program will fly or not. It’s widely expected that if the bill passes, it will already have been modified to allow full public funding only on the Big Island at the start. Ironically, there is already $5.5 million in a state fund earmarked to help fund campaigns. It began in 1978 to allow for partial funding of campaigns.

Maui County Councilmember Gladys Baisa applied for partial public funding during her 2006 race. “I don’t have any problems with it [the bill],” she says. “In the last election I went for public financing. I was a first-time candidate. What I raised, they matched.” But Korey Payne of Voter Owned Hawai‘i says the partial funding option doesn’t give most candidates a fair chance. Payne says that on the state level in 2002, just 10 percent of 400-plus candidates opted for the current partial funding option. He says that in 2006 the average winner spent $36,000 on his or her campaign, while the current system would have provided a mere $4,600. V o t e r O w n e d Hawai‘i asserts that this is one reason more people from different socioeconomic backgrounds don’t go into public service, and why it’s so hard for lawmakers to ignore special interests. Opponents counter by saying the program actually constitutes a form of welfare. Said one legislative staffer of a Republican State Senator who requested anonymity, “Why would I want to pay for a candidate I don’t even support?” What’s more, Barbara Wong, Executive Director of the state Campaign Spending Commission, has said that there are certain scenarios where the state’s coffers wouldn’t cover projected costs. Whether those scenarios will ever come to fruition is part of the current debate. “At a county-level, people will see it [a difference in the system with publicly funded elections] and check-off the box on their income taxes more often,” Representative Bertram says. “They’ll be more inspired. We should just try it. So it fails… It might succeed.” Then there’s SB 2455, which would eliminate the current $1,000 limit on corporate contributions. That bill failed, but the corporate contribution provision is now an amendment to SB 2204. Maui Mayor Charmaine Tavares challenged the limit during her successful 2006 mayoral campaign and Maui Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza backed her. Cardoza ruled that corporations could donate directly to a candidate without limits. The state Attorney General’s office agreed. But the state Campaign Spending Commission cried foul and strenuously opposed SB 2455. And it’s against SB 2204. In fact, 22 states have banned direct donations from corporations to candidates. “The law is fine the way it is now and I think if SB 2204 were passed it would be like stepping into a time capsule and going back to the days of good ol’ boy politics,” Representative Angus McKelvey (D, West Maui) said. At press time, the Legislature deferred the measure, which usually means it’s dead, but considering that it’s died before, it’s hard to say for certain.

SEX ED Our last bill’s a bit sexier than campaign spending or prisoners’ mental health. The Women’s Caucus, a group of female lawmakers, introduced SB 1117 that would require schools receiving public funds to teach medically accurate information on abstinence AND contraception. That’s right, sexual education. There’s the rub. In the last eight years, sex ed. has been taught with an emphasis on abstinence, per feder-

al law. This has pleased many religious and conservative groups trying to get information about fornication out of public school. Sylvia Frerking, Peer Education Teacher at King Kekauliki High School, says all public high schools have had to follow the same mandates. Sex ed. is now taught to kids in fifth, seventh and tenth grades, but students must have a signed waiver from their parents allowing their attendance. She says that about 99 percent of students attend the classes. “Across the country, it’s all abstinence-based education,” she says. “The tide of education comes and goes. It’s been very conservative for the last eight years. Not when like I was in school.” For most schools in the U.S., there aren’t any places to get condoms in school or to talk about options if a highschool girl gets pregnant. “Upcountry kids have a hard time,” Frerking says. “They don’t necessarily have access to get downtown to Planned Parenthood. And access could possibly prevent many teen pregnancies.” Still, she says that although kids are taught to wait, they are also taught about contraception, pregnancy, violence prevention, drugs and alcohol. One method of prevention involves discussing the top 10 things a boyfriend will say or do to convince his girlfriend to have sex. “When we ask female students what they’ve heard, they mention every one of them [before seeing the list],” Frerking says.

Five Star Sandwich The wonders of 808 Deli in Kihei A few weeks ago I got a tip that a new restaurant called 808 Deli opened up by Moose’s across from Kam Two in Kihei. My source said they had the best chicken pesto sandwiches on the island. Now this is a bold statement. I’ve had my fair share of delectable pesto sandwiches, so I had to investigate.

It’s unfair to call 808 Deli a “hole in the wall,” but it’s also no Gian Don’s or Tommy Bahamas. It’s pretty small and tucked away right off South Kihei Road. My first impression was that it was super clean and that the two men behind the counter were friendly and approachable. My second thought occurred as I glanced up at the overhead menu–there was no way in hell I was going to be able to decide what to eat. Sure, I had come for the chicken pesto sandwich, but they so many other sandwiches–paninis, wraps, you name it–and hotdogs listed that I felt obligated to my taste buds to try something else. The hubby and I decided that we would order two paninis and swap halves. Then owners Josh and Jim Richardson had an even better idea— they’d make us a bunch of half sandwiches so we could try out a lot of things. While we waited (five short minutes) for our food, we checked out the great view from the deli. I love peoplewatching on South Kihei. Not to mention, the ocean was a gorgeous, glassy and deep blue. The Richardson brothers brought us our first tray of food–potato chips, a mini pickle and halves of the chicken pesto and the special of the day, which was a turkey panini with cranberry aioli.

MARCH 13, 2008

When I asked the brothers how do they came up with such an interesting, gourmet, diverse menu, they said that they had both worked for many years at the Four Seasons in Wailea. “That level of service is kind of instilled in us,” Jim said. “We want to treat all of our customers like they are dining at a place like [the Four Seasons]. If someone comes in and wants something special, I always tell them that I will make whatever they want with whatever I have available.” I tried the chicken first, and it was delicious. They sliced the chicken breast thin, allowing the flavors of sun-dried tomato, toasted pine nuts and smoked mozzarella to blend perfectly on the grilled Shepherd’s bread. The turkey with avocado and a cranberry aioli was also delicious, striking a great balance of richness between the avo and the fresh tang of the aioli. Next they brought out their special house chicken salad in a herb wrap and–thank you culinary gods–their kalua pork panini. The chicken salad was refreshing and totally satisfying and perfect food for or after the beach. It was filled with the usual suspects of chicken salad, but made special with the occasional chunks of cranberry and walnuts. But my favorite was the kalua pork. I’m a sucker for the stuff and always get frustrated when a restaurant offers a kalua pork sandwich covered in BBQ sauce. Most of the time it’s so overpowering that you can’t even taste the meat. Not so at 808 Deli. When I bit into the rye bread and my teeth touched tender, shredded pork, smoked mozzarella and mango salsa, I knew that I would be braving the Mokulele traffic a lot more often.

Places to Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day DOG AND DUCK IRISH PUB Maui’s best “bangers and mash” come from the kitchen of this small, friendly, family-owned Irish pub. The two zesty British links come with green peas and creamy mashed potatoes and gravy. Rosemary’s chicken pie is another good bet, with big chunks of tender chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce under a flakey shell of puff pastry. 1913 S. Kihei Rd., 875-9669, 11 a.m.-2 a.m. $

Proprietor and Irishman Kevin O’Kennedy provides hours of entertaining limericks and traditional Irish pub songs.

An Evening for Jacquline Saturday (Mar. 15) 8 p.m. at Jacque’s Bistro, Paia [BENEFIT] There is nothing on Maui more meaningful or important than An Evening for Jacquline, a benefit for Jacquline Wenzler-Steves, a little Maui girl that’s been bravely battling Ewing’s Sarcoma for over a year. Ewing’s Sarcoma is an aggressive form of bone cancer, and since diagnosed, Jacquline has endured 14 rounds of chemotherapy and eight surgeries. This little girl and her family (Vince Steves, her father, was named Firefighter of the Year) have been through major battles over the past year and have come through with poise, grace and an amazing inner strength that we should all have. The irony is that we’re going to help them by attending a fun “Maui formal” affair at Jacque’s–one of the best restaurants on the island. There will be lots of great people and live music by Faux Pas–Andy Church, Jimmy C and Steve Cunningham–who will please the crowd with tunes from The Violent Femmes, Sublime, The Doors, The Killers, Rolling Stones, Tom Pettty, U2 and Johnny Cash. And Ben Meyer and The Bone House Band will open for them. So it’s not like we have to do anything crazy like walk over broken glass to help this amazing kid out... Although if it would help Jacquline, I would totally do that. Tickets: $10 or more donation. 100 percent of admission will go to Jacquline. For more info call 205-2473 or email andy@naishsails.com.

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS by Starr Begley

Holo Holo Paniolo

Thursday-Saturday (Mar. 13-15) 7:30 p.m. at Castle Theater, MACC

Thursday (Mar. 13) noon, 1:45 p.m., 3:15 p.m. at Pi`iholo Ranch Store, Makawao

[MUSIC/STAGE] This week the Castle Theater is the “G-Spot” of the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. That’s because this week there are three great “G” shows happening there. On Thursday, there’s the Giordano Jazz Dance troupe from Chicago. From what I hear, they’re a little jazzy, a lot graceful and a ton acrobatic. On Friday, Hawai`i’s Amy Hanaiali`i Gilliom will take the stage. She’s always a crowd pleaser! And then on Saturday, it’s all about Kenny G, who is still super-popular after all this time and all that hair. True story: I’m a closet Kenny G fan. Tickets: prices vary. All show’s 7:30 p.m. www.mauiarts.org or 242-7469.

[FILM] Did you know that 2008 is The Year of the Paniolo? Did you know that we had “cowboys” here in Hawai`i long before the West was even close to being won? Sometimes, the Hawaiian cowboy seems lost in the mix of boots, spurs, sequins and country songs. There are unfortunate mainland souls with no clue that we have more than just beaches and mai tais on our island, let alone historic ranches. No more! Holo Holo Paniolo is a feature-length film shot by Santa Cruz filmmakers Susan Jensen and Paul Singer about the people who work Hawai`i’s ranches today. For one afternoon, folks can see the film for free and meet the filmmakers. They’re also offering discounted DVDs of the film. I’m feeling a revolution. Free. 573-5546 for more details.

Thanks and Praises Thursday (Mar. 13) 10 p.m., at Casanova, Makawao [MUSIC] A Sista Kat show is kind of like a religious reggae experience. With a smooth voice and penetrating beat, Sista Kat captures her audience and spreads a soulful and passionate message of love and peace with her conscious lyrics. Lots of her listeners find spiritual meaning in her smooth sounds—even when she’s not singing her devotion to Jah. But mostly this charismatic lady has versatile talent that blends elements of hip-hop, dance floor, jazz and, of course, reggae into sweet harmonies with quick-flowing messages. You’ll be devoted to her after just one show when she comes to perform with unique dancehall master and chant artist Biblical. Tickets: $10. myspace.com/sistakatoneness, 572-0220.

She’s three shades of blue–two of which are bondo–has over 200,000 miles and is nowhere near waterproof. But she runs well. And just because I drive a junker doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a perfectly cherry ride. Like the ones that will be sparkling in the sun at this Dairy Center car show. There will be hot rods, exotic rides, British and classic models and, to rev your engine a little more, a few four-wheeled Hollywood celebrities. General Lee, the Dixie-horned, Confederate-flag-clad Dodge Charger from the Dukes of Hazzard, will make a special appearance beside Back to the Future’s 1981 Delorean, which comes complete with a functioning flux capacitor. Of course, there will be more practical things as well like food, live music, and entertainment for the kiddies. Admission is free. 264-0733. [JA]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

More Animated Dr. Seuss gets a spotless facelift The best-loved 1954 children’s book by Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) gets an appropriately colorful and vibrant film treatment with the aid of beautiful animation and expressive vocal performances. “A person is a person, no matter how small,” is the lesson that the sensitive jungle elephant Horton learns and shares with other animals when he discovers a city of little people living on a dust spec that he protects on a piece of soft clover. The well-worn story’s sheer poetry comes through in this masterpiece of children’s cinema.

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who

★★★★★ Rated G/88 min.

There’s an existential element to the guiding ethic that Geisel leads the humanitarian Horton to champion with Dr. Seuss’ trademark tonguerolling poetry (eloquently spoken by Charles Osgood). Screenwriters Cinco

Paul and Ken Daurio have done an outstanding job of fleshing out Giesel’s sparsely told original story to fill out a feature length movie. A terrific voice cast that includes Will Arnet as the black-bottomed eagle Vlad, Steve Carell as the Mayor of Whoville, and Carol Burnett as a confrontational kangaroo, is led by Jim Carrey’s effortless incarnation as Horton. There’s real chemistry among the actors’ vocal characterizations, and their giddy infectious humor resonates against a cheery animation design. Far from the scantily colored line drawings of the book, the movie excels in bringing scale to Horton’s jungle life as opposed to the world of Whoville. When a bunch of dastardly blue monkeys fire bananas at Horton by squeezing them through the armpits of an especially large primate, the playfulness of the slapstick comedy is charming to a fault. Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who is an inspired cinematic adaptation that improves on the book in a way that a movie of this magnitude should. There’s nothing heavy-handed here, and no fart jokes to taint the quality of the story. It’s a movie that instantly appears as the kind of old friend that you expect it to be based on past experience. Will you still have to read the book to little kids? You bet, but now you’ll have a much better grasp of the inhabitants of Whoville and of Horton’s bravery. MTW

‘Freedom to Create’ Ty Burhoe returns to Maui Ty Burhoe is returning to the island. Performing at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center, Burhoe and Shubhendra Rao will take the stage with the Hawaiian Islands tour “Classical Music of India 2008.” Burhoe, who plays the Tabia, began studying under the maestro Ustad Zakir in 1990. Ever since, Burhoe has considered his musical career a spiritual path. His music arises from the ancient yogic tradition of “Nada Yoga”—sound that comes to the ear from within the body. “When I first started I was doing Native American drumming,” said Burhoe. “The rhythm of the ceremonial music enhanced my spiritual relationship with one’s self and what it creates for other people.” The way Burhoe weaves Jazz, African, Rock, Celtic, Chinese, Bluegrass, Flamenco and

fusion into an inimitable collaboration of melodies seems nearly instinctive. Burhoe has put his talents into creating his own record label, Tala Records, which is a Sanskrit term meaning “to clap” or “to mark time.” Burhoe

envisioned Tala as a homegrown label that would release the musical partnerships woven together by different world traditions. “This recording label was developed because I wanted more freedom to create,” Burhoe said. “Other recording labels determine the type of music that is appropriate for a record. With Tala Records, I have the freedom to work with who I want to work with and create music not just as a form of entertainment but for ceremonial purposes.” Burhoe has performed with artists like Tony Furtado, Howard Levy and Kitaro. Most recently, Burhoe composed a soundtrack for the Academy Award-winning documentary Born into Brothels. He anticipates more to come. This is Burhoe’s second appearance on the island to perform his sacred music, and he’ll be performing with sensational sitar player Shubhendra Rao. A sitar player since he was three, Rao learned to play from world-renowned maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar. Today Rao is a big-name composer, known for collaborating with a culturally diverse group of musicians. “I’ve known Rao for many years,” Burhoe said. “I only started to play when I was 28 years old but I immersed myself enough to be at the point as a representative of the music. It is a real honor for me, not only as a friend but as a musical partner to share the stage with such an extraordinary man. What makes this unique is that Rao has a music ability to create on the spot. Rao can create a melody based on the weather, the mood and/or the audience.” Burhoe’s show sold out last year. Burhoe wants to come back to Hawai‘i once or twice a year, bringing different musicians and different world music. “I love being in Hawai‘i,” Burhoe said. “The atmosphere here is touching and unforgettable.” MTW

Arguing over Jack Johnson’s Sleep through the Static

MORE OF THE SAME Sleep through the Static is exactly like every other Jack Johnson album I’ve ever listened to–full of breezy, acoustic grooves that make me want to be barefoot and gently swaying in a hammock somewhere. Every time I listen to it I find a new favorite song. The first go-round I fell in love with the gentle and meditative “All at Once,” probably because it’s the first song on the album. I had to listen to it three times before I could go on to the second song, “Sleep through the Static,” which pretty much says everything I’d like to say about the war on terror but in a cheeky, melodic way. Then there are a couple of love songs like “Same Girl” and “What You Thought You Need” that are so tenderly romantic and stripped down that they literally give me goose bumps. Jack’s just that good of a songwriter and singer and now I have 14 new favorite songs. This fourth album is infused with a little more harmonica and keyboard sounds than I remember hearing on other albums, which is fantastic, and the entire album was recorded using solar power. I say, keep it coming. [Jessica Armstrong]

GROWN-UP JACK Unlike some reviewers, I actually listen to an entire album before rating it. With that said, the first I time I listened to Sleep Through the Static, I was a little upset. “Jack,” I cried to my speakers. “How could you do this to me!?” You see, in the newest album, there’s more electric guitar and keyboard than the usual, acoustic-heavy crooning. It was like seeing a new boyfriend trying on my sexy lingerie. It felt a little awkward and I was a little let down. But after listening to the album a few more times, I thought to myself, “I could get into this…” This is not the Jack Johnson I listened to while I was fresh out of high school. But this is the Jack Johnson that I’m listening to while worrying about changing, dynamic relationships, the War in Iraq and global warming. Sleep Through the Static is reflective of Jack’s own experiences with family and friends, socio-political stances, environmental concerns and personal philosophies. All of this is conveyed and mixed with soothing guitar melodies, feelgood phrases and bits of stoner wisdom. Think of this as a slightly more grown-up, edgy version of classic Jack music. Sure, it might be somewhat darker and ruminates on more mature themes, but it’s still wearing slippers. [Ynez Tongson]

QUIRKY, CUTE AND WELL-ROUNDED In my opinion, Sleep Through the Static is great. Yeah, it sounds like Jack Johnson with a twist and, yeah, it was recorded with solar power. Both of those are selling points of their own. But, if you must know what really sold me on this album, it was the press release. I’m a sucker for a great press release. In it, he’s personal, informative and even a little political. The trick is he manages to be all these things while remaining someone you’d feel comfortable bringing home to Mom. Speaking of moms, he praises his wife and mother of his kids. I guess it’s kind of like his music. It just made me feel happy and just a little bit wistful. [Starr Begley]

OK, I know it’s a little early to be saying this, but this show is probably going to be the biggest rock show on Maui in 2008. I haven’t lived here long, but I’ve been around long enough to realize that most big name bands only play Oahu

venues if they make it to Hawaii at all. The guys from Incubus, however, are ending their world tour here on Maui and then taking some quality time to chill out and surf. In case you didn’t know, some of their popular songs are “Drive,” “Megalomaniac” and, among many others, “Wish You Were Here.” Disturbing fact: Wikipedia tells me an incubus is an ancient demon that seeks up on women in their sleep and has sex with them. I don’t think this has anything to do with the band. Opening acts: Siversun Pickups & Tim Curran. Tickets: $55, $45 in advance. A & B Amphitheater, MACC. 242-7469. Children of LooChoo - Fri, Mar 28.

Island boy Bumatai had a bumpy start to his comedy career, but he’s on top now and back in Hawai`i to squeeze laughs out of even most serious of audiences. Tickets: $25. 7:30 p.m. McCoy Studio Theater, MACC. 242-7469. Sean Kingston - Sun, Mar 30. Musical prodigy Kingston from Jamaica took over the airwaves in 2007 with his hit song “Beautiful Girls” at the tender age 18. Not only did his catchy beats become the number one ringtone in 2007 but also made him the number one artists on Myspace.com. Now that’s fame in the 21st century! Mix that with the dancehall sounds of special guest Collie Budz and you’ve got one heavy show. Tickets: $40 in advance, $50 at the door. 6 p.m. A & B Amphitheater, MACC. 242-7469. Opera Rocks - Sun, Apr 6. A high energy classical performance? Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Not when the nationally known Stuart Chafetz is around for a guest conducting appearance with soloist and soprano Lea Woods Friedman and baritone Ryan Taylor, along with over 30 members of the Honolulu Symphony. Plus the new and old favorites from the Maui Concert Chorus. Tickets: $35, $24, $15. 2 p.m. Castle Theater, MACC. 242-7469.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Your intuition is so often spot-on that you’ve learned to trust it implicitly. This, however, can occasionally lead you far astray; although it’s frequently accurate, it’s hardly infallible. Treating it as such, especially this week, could get you into serious trouble, because for once you’re just plain wrong. I know, it’s shocking, isn’t it? Can you imagine how failing to give someone the benefit of doubt (since for whatever reason you don’t have any) would probably piss them off, seeing as how they actually deserve it? To prevent such a scenario, do the inconceivable: ignore your gut for once, and trust your head instead.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You may be one of the lucky Rams, who feels she’s found her place in a community of friends and family. If you’re not, though, don’t freak. I know how you like knowing where you stand with people, and feeling secure in their affections, and how awful it can be to wonder if people actually want you to stick around or not. In most cases, when you’re not quite getting the security and adoration you desire, you leave. You wander on, unsure, looking for something you can’t quite put your finger on. That would be a mistake here. What you’ve got is pretty good, even if it could use some tweaking. This week, don’t leave it—tweak it.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) If I gave you the chance to go back in time and change just one thing you’d done, most of you wouldn’t. That’s not because you have no regrets. It’s because the majority of you simply wouldn’t be able to choose which single thing you’d like to turn around. Think about it. It’s almost impossible, isn’t it? However, if you can come to any kind of clarity on the subject, there’s a window here. You can’t exactly go back in time and undo anything that’s already happened, but—if you act before the weekend hits— you have an amazingly good chance to go a long way towards “fixing” it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) You thought you had it all figured out, didn’t you? You believed the issue sorted and settled. Only now, you’re not so sure. What if you were wrong? It’s unlikely, I know, but events this week are apt to plant doubts in your mind. As unsettling as it might be, second-guessing yourself right now would be a good thing. After all, you don’t want to have to live with potential mistakes (and their consequences) forever, do you? As for rectifying those errors, if you discover some—there’s no time like the present, my friend. Not everyone gets a chance to correct her mistakes. Here’s yours.

Maui’s Online TV Station

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Molting time! As you outgrow your metaphorical shell, it’s time to find a new one. That means you may feel exceptionally squishy and vulnerable this week, and long for someone solid and strong to stand between you and the world, who’ll take all the knocks you’ve got coming. Bad idea. Part of your personal growth is about getting out there and really embracing your whole life—the knocks along with the strokes. That may feel tricky right now, but it’s not. Without your emotional armor, you’re ill-suited to take hard hits, but you’re also more lightweight and fluid; you may be able to dodge them instead.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Stop thinking that everything you want lies behind a single door, and that there’s only one way through that door. That only perpetuates the illusion that as soon as you do the one thing that will score you the key to that door, all of life’s best experiences will lay down at your feet, ripe for the plunder. There is no door and certainly no key, and nothing as simple as winning the lottery or getting that job (or that nose/boob job) would open it in any case. The reality is that there are many doors (and windows) and many treasures lurking behind each one. I hope you’re wise enough by now to find that a comfort, not a let-down.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) By now you should know how bad your shoes taste, having stuck your foot in your mouth many, many times. Tread carefully this week, for your toes are dancing precariously close to your lips. If you’re not absolutely sure that what you’re saying is exactly what you want to say, keep your naughty mouth shut. A slip of the tongue right now could haunt you for months. Find other, more careful and thoughtful ways to communicate whenever necessary. Write it down. Then, at least, you have a chance to edit your words before they condemn you to flossing with your shoelaces.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Which would you prefer? An annoying bug constantly buzzing in your ear, or not being able to hear at all? Unfortunately, your primary source of vital information right now happens to be someone who irritates the hell out of you (probably with good reason). Your choice is to shut them down, thereby cutting yourself off from where you want to go and the things you may need to know, or just dealing with it. If you do decide that you ultimately have to put the mosquito out of its misery, it’s better to do so sooner rather than later. If you do it this week, you may still have time to find another, less annoying conduit for the goodies you need.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Your Achilles’ Heel, my dear, is your deep resistance to compromise. You want it all or you don’t want any of it, and sadly, that means you don’t get any of it, much of the time. Aren’t you sick of doing without? Perhaps you’re finally ready to give the supposedly boring middle road a try. There are some very good deals on the table right now. Take another look at them. Although each of them lacks something you supposedly “need,” by taking advantage of at least a few of them, you could end up so far ahead of the game that you don’t even miss the pieces you were holding out for.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Just because you have your own private source of sunshine and happiness, you may have difficulty paying attention to or caring about how the weather is for everyone else. That’s understandable, but also very bad. Your own incredible good fortune should make you more solicitous about the wellbeing of others, not less. Hopefully your safety and joy means the parts of your mind usually devoted to securing those things can now be put to other uses—like noticing how miserable some of your friends are, and perhaps thinking of ways to help mitigate that misery. Quit daydreaming and counting your lucky stars and get to it, please.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Something is better than nothing. In a week rife with compromises and virtually no ideal solutions, that has to be your mantra. Keep repeating it, as you encounter one sub-par situation after another, and just try hard to make the best of each one as it comes. You’re an excellent negotiator, and if you’re cunning and bold enough, you could still shift the balance from red to black, if only just barely. Whatever you do, don’t spend time feeling sorry for yourself. You can’t afford self-pity; it’s not included in what’s already a very tight budget.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) What you’ve got, no one’s buying, at least not this week. The market’s flooded with knock-offs, and people aren’t clued in enough to spend more for the real deal. Don’t get too down on yourself. They’ll come around eventually. In the meantime, chill out. This isn’t the time for a hard sell, or even advertisement. Your best bet is finding a handful of die-hard worshippers and relying on word-of-mouth from there. It may take time, but ultimately that’s all you’ll need. The people who need you will find you, and be ever so grateful and appreciative when they do.

RESTLESSNATIVE

BY STARR BEGLEY STARR@MAUITIME.COM

Comp and Circumstance I wish I were rich. If I had oodles of cash, I would spend every weekend the way I spent this past one–with friends and family. I know what you’re thinking, and sure—you can have QT regardless of your economic situation, but hear me out. Friends and family are so much more enjoyable when there’s lots of cash (or the byproducts of said cash flow) in the picture. Take Friday night. Assistant General Manager Steve Seno invited the hubby and me out to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Lahaina because the restaurant is doing this cool food and wine pairing dinner every month. I’d be lying in a major way if I didn’t say that I wasn’t totally freaked out. We sat at a table of 20 that was filled with multiple pieces of silverware, wineglasses and people who looked like they’d know their way around a Food Network set blindfolded. Turns out Matt Paet, the genius chef behind the awesome dishes we had Friday, is also the Matt Paet who graduated a year ahead of me from St. Anthony. We weren’t close friends, but it was still really cool to see him (and see him doing so well) after all these years. He even seared me the most kick-ass block of Ahi I’ve ever had when I said I have a shellfish allergy as they were serving lobster bisque. We sat next to a couple from the Westside. The guy’s a manager of a high-end restaurant and I’m pretty sure that it mortified him when he figured out that I, Starr Begley who writes numerous dining reviews, doesn’t know jack about real cuisine. I mean, I know what I like, but when it comes to people who really know a lot about food, I don’t even pretend. Anyway, they were a blast to sit by and his girlfriend is pretty much my dream girl–beautiful, funny, well mannered and eloquent. In fact, I’m wondering if my husband was thinking the same. On the other hand, the Hubby and I are a bit brash, a little world-wearier and broke. But I think they liked talking with us, too, and I don’t think that we scared them too much. Although, the Hub did bust out cell phone pictures of the baby, which I’m pretty sure is a no-no. All in all, the whole experience was absolutely awesome and something that we plan on saving our pennies to do again. Then Saturday morning we packed up the baby, met up with my BFF and her little one and headed to the Haiku Ho‘olaulea and Flower Festival. The cool thing is that the admission was free; the bad thing is that it was such a popular event that parking was a major bitch. If I were rich, I would’ve asked one of the friendly nearby neighbors if I could kindly park my SUV in their driveway for a crisp 100-dollar bill... Or two. Regardless, once we parked (illegally, like everyone else) we had a blast. The food, games and baked goods were all priced for regular people like us, which was nice. The shave ice was only a buck and I walked out of the bake sale with an armload of goodies for less than eight dollars. And the Kalua pig plate! My God, it was overflowing and a steal at six bucks. I ate two. I almost died, but how could I resist? Saturday night, the BFF and me met up with some of my co-workers at the MACC for the Margaret Cho show. And, not to rub it in or anything, but we had box seats–you know, where all the fancy people sit. The show was crazy! I had never heard Cho perform before and learned so much. For one thing, she’s a fag hag, was a Sunday school teacher, just got a new tattoo, loves eating ass, and is a 100 percent raunchy ass bitch. Or would that be “betch?” As for Sunday, that was spent paying bills and grocery shopping. But who wants to talk about that?
