safe driving and respect for others on the road is a foreign concept. You will be in an accident eventually. I hope no one is hurt. Thanks for teaching us “tourists and fresh locals” about how to cross the street safely when in Wailuku! I was wondering how people got across the street all these years! Thanks again. It used to be that everything was either “this” or “that.” Either “this side of the road” or “that side of the road.” I would like to invite you to join me in “togetherness.”

Drivers need to be cautious in Wailuku town. I regularly notice pedestrians (usually non-local or fresh-locals) crossing the streets in a hurry, not using crosswalks or even looking both ways. Some of these people feel it is the drivers’ whole responsibility to watch for them; you can usually find these people power-walking to crosswalks, then eyeing down drivers as they tenaciously dart across the road. These are the ones who will also never give you a “thank you” wave, even if you do decide to slam on the brakes to let them go. I always stop for the pedestrians who obey traffic laws and use common sense. To the ones who try and walk after it’s unsafe to do so: I hope you weigh more than my truck, my brakes are getting worn. Uh oh, another big truck driver with a threat! Get out of my way, or else! You must be one of the folks who doesn’t stop at the stop sign at the four way stop in Wailuku.

MAUICOUNTY

BY BEAU EWAN BEAU@MAUITIME.COM

Something ‘Fierce’ Author Stuart Coleman searches for the soul of Hawaiian surfing ith its variety of magical waves, from Honolua Bay to Jaws, and its legacy of surfing pioneers, from Woody Brown to Laird Hamilton, Maui has proven to be one of the most important places in the evolution of surfing. But across the channel on Oahu, nestled along the wild west side, one particular surfing locale has been called the soul of Hawaiian surfing— Makaha. From Buffalo Keaulana to Rell Sunn, the waves crashing along the shores of Makaha have given birth to some of surfing’s most revo-

How did you choose the title, Fierce Heart? Makaha literally means “fierce,” and so many people from there have such heart, and are full of such aloha. At first, I was really intimidated by the mystique and localism of the place. Makaha is on the outskirts of the island, where the locals were pushed aside following statehood, and they’ve been fierce about protecting the place. But when I met with professional surfer and lifeguard, Brian Keaulana, I learned more about the meaning of aloha in our four hours together than I did in my previous six years of living in Hawaii. And

“The wave and the people who call it home are so dichotomous, at once both gentle and deadly, protective and loving.” lutionary characters. And nobody understands this better than surf aficionado Stuart Coleman, Hawaii’s regional coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation and author of the seminal Eddie Aikau biography, Eddie Would Go. Coleman’s new book, out now, is titled, Fierce Heart: The Story of Makaha and the Soul of Hawaiian Surfing. We recently sat down with Coleman to discuss the details of this enjoyable, informative summer read, which depicts the lives and culture of a people deeply anchored in the power of the sea.

then once I got to know more about this small place and all these larger-than-life characters who came from there—Buffalo Keaulana, Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole, Rell Sunn—I found that the common trait in each of them was the ferocity of their good hearts. With all the surfing history of Waikiki and a billion dollar industry centered each winter on the North Shore, isn’t it a pretty bold statement to call Makaha “the soul of Hawaiian surfing”? Maybe, but as far as modern surfing goes, Makaha is really where it all started. Guys like Woody Brown and John Kelly were riding waves in Makaha as early as the 1930s. Also, Makaha was home to the Makaha International Surf Contest, the biggest surfing contest in the world before the Duke Kahanamoku Classic. So really, the entire competitive surfing circuit and its industry can trace its roots back to this magical wave. And the wave itself is such a miraculous break. Makaha is one of the few waves that can handle faces anywhere from 2 to 25 feet. The wave and the people who call it home are so dichotomous, at once both gentle and deadly, protective and loving. You write a lot about the Keaulana family. Why have the Keaulanas had such an impact on the surfing world? Buffalo and Bryan Keaulana really epit-

omize what it means to be a waterman. Buffalo has such deep roots in modern Hawaiian surfing, but also as a lifeguard, sailor and a fisherman. They used to say that when Buffalo went out with his spear, people would immediately start building a fire because it was inevitable that he’d be back with a ton of fish. Brian Keaulana is one of the greatest big wave surfers of all time, but also helped revolutionize lifesaving. He was the first one to introduce the jet ski to water rescue, and with the help of guys like Maui’s Archie Kaleppa, the jet ski changed the field forever. He also invented the sled towed behind the jet ski, so that guys like Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama could extract one another from the bowels of Jaws. In fact, Hamilton and Kalama used to invite Keaulana when they first began surfing Jaws, saying they felt safer when Brian was with them. Why should every surfer in Hawaii read this book? This book is definitely not just for surfers. It has much more to do with Hawaiian history, and the lives of amazing people who just so happen to be surfers. Fierce Heart is the story of a people who take a lot of pride in their country, but have also been pushed aside by those foreigners and struggled to keep their identity alive. And now that we’re approaching the 50th anniversary of statehood, with a president sympathetic to the plight of the Hawaiian people, the ambiguities of that relationship—one of pride in their country versus the preservation of their culture—is more important than ever. You don’t have to be a surfer to take something away from this book. MTW Stuart Coleman will be on Maui this weekend for two book signings: Saturday, May 23, 4pm at Borders Books in Kahului; and Sunday, May 24, 2pm at Barnes & Noble in Lahaina.

CAN’T STOMACH IT

HERO TO ZERO

Convicted Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, now serving a life sentence in the Florence, Colo., “Supermax” prison, filed a 39page federal lawsuit in March alleging unconstitutional “cruel and unusual punishment” because the refinedfood, low-fiber meals give him “chronic constipation [and] bleeding hemorrhoids.” He demanded fresh raw vegetables and other high-fiber foods, necessary to “keep one’s body (i.e., God’s holy temple) in good health.”

East St. Louis, Ill., policeman Kristopher Weston apprehended a murder suspect about 20 minutes after the crime in April, which was such a nice piece of police work that the mayor called Weston before the city council to commend him. Five minutes after Weston left the room, the council got down to regular business, the first order of which was to approve a list of police and firefighter layoffs due to budget shortfalls—and on the list because of low seniority was Officer Kristopher Weston.

WATER THEY THINKING

DRIVING WHILE OLD

Recently, the Washington Supreme Court ruled that Seattle had for two years improperly charged water customers for servicing hydrants when the city should have covered the service from general tax funds, and it ordered customer refunds averaging $45. However, Seattle then discovered it had insufficient general funds to pay for hydrant service and thus imposed a water surcharge of $59 per customer, according to a February KOMO-TV report. The most likely reason the surcharge was higher is that the city had to pay $4.2 million to the attorneys who filed the account-shuffling lawsuit.

An 89-year-old man accidentally crashed into his wife in a parking lot in Greenville, S.C. (April)… An 88-year-old man accidentally drove through the front window of a restaurant in Redondo Beach, Calif., injuring five (March)… An 85-year-old woman, on her way to take her driver’s test, accidentally crashed into the building that houses the licensing office in Schram City, Ill. (February)… An 82-year-old woman accidentally drove into the Indulgence Salon in Prescott Valley, Ariz., while trying to park (May)… A man in his 80s, arriving at a Subaru dealer in Town of McCandless, Pa., for service, accidentally crashed into the showroom (April)… An 80-year-old woman, backing out of a parking space, accidentally sped out instead, hitting six cars and ramming a building in Indianapolis (February).

PORNING IN AMERICA After three years of providing workertraining grants to a San Franciscoarea multimedia coalition that includes a maker of sexualized torture videos, the California Employment Training Panel cut off funding in April, claiming that it had not realized the nature of what an outfit called “Kink.com” does. The coalition protested the panel’s decision, pointing out that Kink is a law-abiding, taxpaying entity that employs 100 local people and keeps California adult video “competitive in the international marketplace” by training employees in video editing, Photoshop and other multimedia skills. A typical Kink.com production may feature paid, consenting women bound, gagged and supposedly electrically shocked.

IF THE SUE FITS Shreepriya Gopalan filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in San Diego in April against Microsoft, Google, Apple, Saks Fifth Avenue, McDonalds, Starbucks, Subway, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Chase Bank, Verizon, AT&T and 47 other U.S. corporations, claiming that he actually owns the companies based on the Chinese divination system I Ching, which he said he invented when he was “15 or 16” years old. “These companies were I Chinged in through a metaphysical layer created and owned by me,” he wrote. But he added that “unfortunately” he lacks paperwork to document his claims and asks the court’s help.

BREAST IN SHOW In April at a gallery in London, Mexican artist Raul Ortega Ayala’s exhibit opened with the customary hors d’oeuvres for visitors. However, since Ayala’s work specializes in the roles that food play in our lives, he served cheese made from human breast milk, to “explor[e] our first encounter with food emphasizing its territoriality and boundaries.” He said his next piece would go the other way, with 10 menus showing what “presidents, public figures, mass murderers and cave men” ate just before dying.

ROBREPORT

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

Second opinion Getting feedback in the era of instant communications e live in a truly miraculous time, when electronic devices that fit in the palm of our hand can connect us with people and events in another room, down the block or halfway around the world. Since the Syncom 3 satellite was launched in 1964—allowing an American television audience to view experimental relay coverage of the Tokyo Olympics—instant communications have rocketed into our lives at warp speed. Satellite connections facilitate radio, phone, TV, weather reporting and the Internet, while Google Earth provides a Big Brotherlike eye in the sky that is equal parts fascinating and creepy. In February, a U.S. Iridium orbiter, one of 65 such American communications satellites, made news when it slammed into a defunct Russian satellite 500 miles above Siberia, only the fourth collision ever of orbiting manmade objects. To those who follow celestial influences of another kind, it may be noted that we are in Mercury retrograde until the end of May, meaning that planet is moving away from Earth relative to our orbits around the Sun. The Mercury of Roman mythology was the messenger of the gods and moved with great speed, so it isn’t a stretch to invoke his retrogradial motion as playing havoc with communications on Earth, be it on electronic gizmos or interpersonal breakdowns. Even my computer tech support guy acknowledged the propensity for his business to increase during Mercury retrograde, including hard drive crashes, in a sort of astrological manifestation of Murphy’s Law. So, I’m not surprised when messages sent, instantly or otherwise, wind up as garbled as mouthwash. Every week, my e-mail address appears alongside the articles I submit to this newspaper. Quite often, the subject matter elicits responses from friends and strangers alike. This week was no exception.

he column in question, “Consumer Retorts,” related how readers frequently offer up suggestions for topics to cover. An email arrived from a longtime Maui resident and tour driver, suggesting, “it’s not too much of a stretch to write about how…overpopulation is destroying our Planet Earth.”

LC Watch It was recently brought to our attention that the LC has a Wikipedia page. Well, sort of. It’s a stub, really, brief enough to be reprinted in its entirety here: “The Department of Liquor Control is a Maui County agency which regulates and enforces state and county laws regarding the manufacture, importation, sale and consumption of intoxicating liquors.” Not inaccurate, but certainly incomplete. Ah, but that’s the beauty of Wikipedia—there’s always opportunity for expansion. And anyone can do it; so democratic.

How much time and energy do we spend trying to convince others to adopt our belief systems? Can’t we all just agree to disagree—or would that mean we’re all in agreement? environmental stresses and destruction. Overpopulation is a topic I have often brought into the discussion over the past two years. The e-mail then segued into glaciation, geology, geomorphology and how historical evidence indicates the planet tends to warm up before recurrent cooling and glacial periods every 100,000 years or so. Minerals from rocks ground up by advancing and retreating glaciers, said the writer, allow microorganisms, plants and animals to grow and proliferate. His message also included a YouTube link to a five-minute montage of scenic Maui photos, syrupy piano music and quotes from A Course in Miracles, with a recommendation to watch it several times. One slide that particularly caught my attention was a quote by Gary Renard: “Always let other people have their beliefs. It’s not necessary to get other people to agree with you.”

mean we’re all in agreement? A second e-mail brought home the point. A reader said he became “apolitical” (apoplectic?) after reading my comments about Alex Jones and the Superferry, and remarked I’ve become a bit too “yuppified” in my views. (My dictionary tells me that “yuppie,” from “young urban

If one were so inclined, one could add a few details to the LC’s entry about, say, board members getting popped for DUI, or First Amendment-straining dancing rules, or hostess bars, or merkins (look it up). Many of those details could be gleaned, with proper citation of course, from this very column, which has been keeping tabs on the department for years, or from Kate Bradshaw’s recent cover feature, “No Can Dance.” (Incidentally, the archives at mauitime.com are very searchable.)

see OPINION, page 10

All one would have to do is visit wikipedia.org, sign up for an account and follow the relatively simple editing steps. With a modicum of effort, a wider audience could be exposed to the follies and foibles of Maui’s liquor code enforcers. Probably wouldn’t take more than an hour, two tops. Just sayin.’

Largely that refers to digital technology, fiber optics, microchips and computers, the aforementioned communications satellites and the global network that is the Internet. At our fingertips, we have a library, TV shows, music stores, newspapers and an ocean of opinions. Two years ago, keynote Focus Green speaker Robert F.

Time and again people tell me they pick up this publication to “find out what’s really going on,” a comment I used to hear about the Haleakala Times, before it was sold and retreated to an online-only format.

spin. My mention of the Superferry last week was only parenthetical, an example of when a “conspiracy theory” turns out to be true. But those who used and enjoyed Hawaii Superferry are as unlikely to agree with me as they are to read Koohan Paik and Jerry Mander’s The Superferry Chronicles, which details the government corruption and defense industry connections behind the vessel. Many have resorted to namecalling and bashing the environmental groups they believe caused the Superferry’s demise, rather than evaluating information that indicates the Superferry never come close to being economically profitable and was destined to fail. I never advocated abolishing the Superferry, as my critic claims. I simply offered up information that called into question the viability of and the motives behind the costly and divisive proposed service. The ferry service that claimed it would bring the islands together instead exposed a rift that still endures, like a bad aftertaste. Perhaps there should be a government appropriation of sorbet to cleanse our collective palates. (Note: Young Brothers inter-island freight service might also benefit from some “pallet cleansing.” After being forced to forfeit and remove their covered shed to accommodate the Superferry, now pallets are left out on the dock, wrapped in layers and layers of plastic that ultimately end up at the central Maui landfill.) eople are so tired of hearing about the Superferry debacle that many are unwilling to absorb new information. But those who remain inquisitive may find a fertile field of inquiry on Akaku, our public access TV station. Dave Garrison, producer of Noon in Hawaii, recently filmed and released Cross Currents: The Superferry Saga. I helped moderate the discussion with Irene Bowie, Hannah Bernard and Dick Mayer, all extremely articulate and knowledgeable people who can chart the turbulent waters churned up by Hawaii Superferry. The 14th century Persian poet Hafiz wrote, “Is it true that your mind/ Is sometimes like a battering ram/ Running all through the city/ Shouting so madly inside and out/About ten thousand things/ That do not matter?” Five hundred years ago Sir Francis Bacon wrote, “Knowledge is power,” and that precept has often been quoted since. Yet an overload of information can just as easily be a distraction, over-shadowing other aspects of our nature such as love and compassion. A need to be right would indicate issues of control and power, while a willingness to allow others to hold their own beliefs emanates from a place of kindness and forgiveness. As Hafiz put it: “Listen more carefully/ To what is inside of you right now.” MTW

with public perception. At least not according to the results of a new Zogby poll, which found that only 18 percent of respondents considered swine flu to be a “severe” threat. The other 82 percent have presumably read past the headlines and noticed that the vast, vast majority of swine flu cases have been mild and that the relatively small number of people who’ve died from the disease had underlying health conditions. Ah, but when have the facts ever gotten in the way of a good fear-mongering campaign? (I should note, for ass-covering purposes, that I don’t belittle the risks posed by pandemic diseases, nor do I think the media should remain silent on such topics to avoid scaring people. But there’s a big difference between providing clear-headed, useful information and whipping the public into a surgical mask-wearing, unnecessary ERvisiting, pig-slaughtering frenzy.)

You can never be too careful.

FRIDAY, MAY 14

WEDNESDAY, MAY 13 May, I have been informed, is melanoma awareness month. Of course, on Maui and other places near the equator, every month is melanoma awareness month. And yet we tend to forget or ignore the dangers posed by overexposure to the sun. So, a refresher: Don’t stay out too long. Wear sunscreen and make sure the keiki do, too. Apply it in a cool place before you’re covered in sweat and salt water. Remember that SPF only indicates protection from UVB rays, which lead to sunburn, and not UVA rays, which cause melanoma. Finally, get regular check-ups—as with all forms of cancer, early detection is key. More info can be found on the American Academy of Dermatology Web site (aad.org). (In anticipation of an e-mail or two, I’ll add that I’m aware some studies have actually linked sunscreen use with melanoma. I am not a health expert nor do I play one on TV, but my limited research has led me to conclude this link is due to people misapplying sunscreen, believing they’re more protected than they are and then overexposing themselves. I welcome alternate theories, even—or perhaps especially—weird ones.)

THURSDAY, MAY 14 That darn swine flu keeps making news (today’s example: the AP reports UH “will forgo the traditional handshake during…commencement ceremonies” and will provide graduates with both diplomas and sanitary wipes). Interestingly, the media-perpetuated hysteria doesn’t line up

Looks like Island Dodge is the latest victim of the economic downturn/freefall/death spiral (too dramatic?). Yesterday, the Chrysler corporation announced plans to shutter hundreds of dealerships nationwide, and the Kahului outfit—which, according to it’s ubiquitous radio commercials, is “the biggest name on wheels!”—is among those on the chopping block. No great shock given plunging auto sales on the Valley Isle (new vehicle registration was down a whopping 47 percent in the first quarter of 2009), but here’s the cruel twist: Island Dodge found out about its fate the same way you did—by reading a newspaper. Shortly after Chrysler notified a New York bankruptcy court that it intended to close nearly 800 dealerships, the Detroit Free Press published a list of the condemned, which included Island Dodge. But, according to an AP report, Island Dodge had still not received official notification by day’s end. Gee, Chrysler’s so on top of things, it’s a shock they’re going under.

SATURDAY, MAY 15 It’s official: the only thing Obama has to do to get his picture on the front page of The Maui News (an honor he no doubt covets) is flash a shaka, as he did when Maui’s Shane Victorino and the rest of the world champion Philadelphia Phillies visited the White House yesterday. It was kinda cool at first, now it’s getting a little cheesy, though it’s certainly better than the mildly satanic Tay-ha “hook ’em horns” our last chief executive was always tossing up… In other news: After less than six months on the job, Maui Land & Pineapple CEO Rob Webber is calling it quits. During Webber’s brief tenure, ML&P lost over $13 million, sold its Plantation Golf Course and fired 100 workers. Tough to blame Webber—he inherited a sinking ship and was handed a leaky bucket—but those aren’t exactly the

kind of accomplishments you put at the top of your resumé.

vessel, auction attendees lamented the Superferry’s demise. One man called it a “very sad day.” Hard to argue with that.

SUNDAY, MAY 16 “God imparted that my ministry is politics. [I ask] for your prayers, help and participation to bring righteousness back into politics and government.” That’s Jonah Kaauwai, newly christened chair of the Hawaii Republican Party, in a January e-mail quoted by the AP. Speaking to the assembled faithful on the Big Island after his election yesterday, Kaauwai, who previously served as Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona’s deputy chief of staff, compared his party to a hurricane. You know, in a way he’s right: both blow a lot of hot hair, twirl around in circles, then become fragmented and destroy themselves… In other news: Not a good sign for those hoping the Superferry will make a swift return to Hawaii’s waters: they just auctioned off the coffee maker. That, and a lot of other stuff, according to a report in today’s Maui News. At a well-attended fire sale held yesterday, the company sold construction equipment, clothing, portable toilets— basically anything that wasn’t bolted down—to the highest bidder. Even as they picked clean the carcass of the ill-fated

MONDAY, MAY 17 The first few months of the Obama Administration have provided a kind of greatest hits compilation of Bush-era follies, as the new president seeks to undo the real and symbolic damage done by his predecessor. The latest example: An AP story titled “Pentagon reports no longer quote Bible.” Apparently Defense Department briefings have been accompanied by snippets of scripture since at least 2003, when the Iraq invasion was launched. Here’s a sample quote from an April 2003 document obtained by GQ magazine. The verse, from the book of Psalms, appeared over a picture of a tank rolling through the Mesopotamian dessert: “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground…” OK, but that doesn’t mean this war was, like, a crusade or anything.

“In summer, the song sings itself.” - William Carlos Williams Summer’s almost here, and that means two things (well, actually it means lots of things, but we’re sticking with two): blockbuster movies and outdoor fun. We’ve decided to combine those seemingly disparate diversions in our second annual Summer Guide. First, we offer a look at five activities you may want to try (or do again), each with its own cinematic theme. Then you’ll find a run-down of summer events, workshops and classes for adults, keiki and families (excluding July 4 festivities, which we’ll highlight in a future issue) to fill those long, lazy school-free days. So grab the sunscreen, crack open a cold beverage and rejoice—the season of sizzle has arrived.

o to the beach on any given day, and here’s something you’re sure to see: people of all shapes, sizes and ages bobbing on oversized boards, paddle in hand. Some handle their craft deftly, cruising in on waves and pulling up with grace and style. Others look rather more precarious, as though a slight shift or gentle breeze could—and quite possibly will—send them plunging headlong into the water, arms flailing in vain. Though its origins date back at least to the ’60s, stand-up paddle boarding has exploded in recent years, to the point where it may be Maui’s most ubiquitous water sport. Because of its rapid ascent, it’s tempting to dismiss it as a fad, a passing fancy that won’t stand the test of time. But to try it is to become a believer. The reason for paddle boarding’s broad appeal becomes apparent the moment you slide into the water. Whereas some other ocean activities require you to look like an uncoordinated idiot—and to swallow a lot of salt water— before you find your groove, paddle boarding offers instant gratification. Standing up and balancing takes a little practice, but you can sit on your knees and head out with no fear of toppling over. Once past the break and away from other people, you can safely begin to learn the finer points. Boards vary in size, but they’re all long, wide and bulky—basically a cross between a longboard

and a kayak. This means getting them from your home or the rental shop to the beach can be an ordeal. But in the water they’re relatively steady, which makes standing up just one notch above easy. Keep your knees bent, your feet slightly cocked and a few inches in from the edges and avoid getting turned sideways on a wave, and you’ll be paddling upright in no time, falling only when you want to cool off. And you’ll feel the burn; this is a solid core workout that’ll leave you satisfyingly sore after the first time out. The next step is learning to ride waves. This takes more skill and precision, especially if you’ve never surfed before. But again, because you can start on your knees where balance is less of an issue, success and enjoyment come quickly. Though wildly popular, paddle boarding is not without its detractors. Many surfers have embraced the sport, but others complain that it clogs the water with amateurs on hulking, wave-hogging rigs. The key, as ever, is mutual respect—and knowing your abilities. If you’re a wobbly beginner, try to find an uncrowded stretch of water, and don’t hop on waves above your pay grade. Stand-up paddle boards are expensive (expect to spend $1,000 or more, though some used boards can be had for less), so renting is the way to go until you’re sure you’re in love with the sport. Lots of places offer rentals island-wide, and helpful advice and tips for newbies. Then it’s just a matter of heading for the beach, pushing out and joining the h a p p y crowd.

Once the chute is ready to go, he helps you into the harness, which turns into a chair after you’re airborne. You wait for a healthy gust. Flowers and grass begin to sway. It’s a go. You jog forward. Despite the force you exert you go nowhere at first, because the gigantic chute behind you has filled with air. But as it lifts, you gain speed and you’re off. With every second that passes your feet are considerably further from the Earth. The wind takes you forward—or wherever Binber sees fit to steer—as gravity’s ultimate end recedes. Binber guides the parachute over the tall pines that dot Haleakala’s slopes. You can relate to birds at this point, as you circle above the treetops and examine the depths of the forest as you would a coral reef while snorkeling. This is a far cry from skydiving, because at no point are you in freefall. You are partly soaring, partly floating, until the same breeze that gave you air brings you gradually closer to the ground with the help of Binber’s steering. The chute eases you onto the grass and you land, however clumsily. There are many thrills to be had on this island—the vast and varied terrain and the dynamic sea hold an inexhaustible number of ways to release adrenaline. But there are few opportunities for experiencing the sky. This is one well worth trying.

t’s morning. The fog is gone, but the chill is still there. The view is impressive. But the view is not the reason you’re here. You’re here because you want sky. You’ve tasted clouds before, and felt true gravity, and the sensation is addictive. Paragliding may prove an adequate fix. You can see central Maui from your launch site, a gentle western Haleakala slope near Polipoli. When you get to the site—which is slightly lower than usual due to unpredictable Kona gusts—Dexter Binber, who owns and operates Proflyght Paragliding School Maui (8745433 or paraglidehawaii.com), breaks out the chute that will deliver you to the pasture just above Ali‘i Kula Lavender Farm. The chute is connected to a two-person harness by way of a rainbow of Kevlar cords. Binber has been at this for decades; he has flown all over the planet and says Maui is one of the best places to paraglide. He and a handful of other gliders, including a retired Delta pilot, a wedding photographer and a homemaker, do this every single morning. Most received training from Dexter, but only Dexter and a few others are authorized to accomodate one-time thrill-seekers. In fact, to be able to take tandem passengers, Binber says, one must undergo more schooling than a commercial airplane pilot.

he words “fitness boot camp” may not conjure up images of summer fun, but don’t run away screaming just yet. Almost everyone can benefit from this class—and it actually is fun, in a twisted sort of way. Still skeptical? I was too. But after two weeks I’d gained body strength and dexterity, and improved my mile run time by two minutes. I won’t sugar coat it, I am way out of shape. (Put it this way: no one asks me to re-load the 5-gallon jugs on the office water cooler.) While this class didn’t solve those problems, it did help re-wire my brain so that working out is now a reality instead of some over-procrastinated “goal.” Still trying to picture what “fitness boot camp” is?

trainer and Maui fitness guru Michelle Wharton of Adventure X Fitness whips you into shape three times a week with 60 minutes of running, core training, agility drills, obstacle courses, strength training, circuits and more. Under the glorious backdrop of the central valley, I cursed my maker while sprinting, hefting medicine balls, doing sit-up after sit-up, squat after squat. I braved windy conditions, torrential rain and hot sun with 16 other intrepid souls at Keopuolani Park. And here’s the really weird part: when it was over, I couldn’t wait to do it again. It sounds hard, but it was very doable for everyone in my class. Our fitness levels were varied, but that really didn’t seem to matter; everyone struggles with crunches after 20 minutes. My Achilles’ tendon was hating “plank,” an exercise where you have to hold your body up from your toes and elbows and remain straight; I would rather do an hour of crunches then 5 minutes of plank. Michelle is an incognito drill sergeant; she can get you to do all the exercises you detest and incorporates humor to take the edge off. She won’t be yelling and spitting in your face, though after your third uphill sprint you may wish she would. I asked Michelle what makes many of us so unhealthy. “Americans are workaholics. It’s our lifestyle,” she said. “But everyone has to eat and if

you are pressed for time and overworked and tired, convenience foods are what you turn to.” Basically we don’t prioritize healthy diets and exercise over work, and that packs on the pounds. Most of us go on like this until it’s too late, stuck between a rock and hard place by adult onset diabetes and heart disease. Unfortunately, there is no holy grail to get in shape. Michelle says she got into fitness boot camp because she enjoys helping people. “I think it’s great to be outdoors, especially here on Maui,” she says. “A lot of people plateau on their workouts at the gym. In group workouts, people help motivate each other.” The next Adventure X Fitness Boot Camp runs June 1-26. Cost is $125; call 283-5502 or visit adventurexfitness.com.

ome little girls live to be brides. By age 12 they’ve already picked out their wedding dresses and have convinced themselves that fate not only exists, but is an infallible matchmaker. I was never one of those. I wanted to be a cowgirl. In an era characterized by disappearing open space, the Valley Isle is still home to thousands of acres of ranchland. For those whose gigs don’t entail rounding up steer, this means that a dose of antiquated adventure can still be easily had by way of horsies. Yes—horsies. Being astraddle an equestrian lends itself to both pure thrill and profound reflection. Riding a horse among some of the most unfathomably dramatic (and highly imperiled) landscapes on the planet increases these sensations. Resting at the foot of the West Maui Mountains, just before the road gets mean, is Mendes Ranch. Out here it’s hard to imagine that not 25 minutes away is the Costco and Wal-Mart sprawl. The Mendes family, which migrated to the isles in 1886, purchased the ranch in 1943. While they still run cattle operations, they see more dollars

from guided horseback tours through the green slopes of Waihee Valley. The view from the peacock-spotted corral was phenomenal. Two real cowgirls led the tour (one had a Lady Gaga cell phone ring tone…yes, cell reception is fantastic out on the range). It’s a spot that offers a glimpse of Maui’s past, present and future. The ranch leases much of the 2,000plus acres of ranchland from a private owner. Not surprisingly, it’s another patch of Maui slated for subdivision and development. The trail ascends to a photo op point with a view of Eki Crater before rambling down to a spot that rests just above the treacherous coastline. On some of the trail’s straightaways we were told that, if we desired, we could ride ‘em like we stole ‘em. My horse, Molokai, was game for a full-on gallop, which proved to be pleasantly adrenaline-inducing. After two or three hours of riding we returned to the corral and I felt my childhood fantasy tugging at my heart. Not such a bad thing, given the profusion of places onisland where ladies can, however t e m porarily, be cowgirls.

t’s an urge that seems crazy to anyone who hasn’t lived on Maui or some other topical locale: the desire to get away from white sand beaches and lush vegetation. Sure, that stuff’s wonderful, but humans crave variety; every now and then, we just want something different. “Something different” is the perfect way to describe the Lahaina-Pali trail, a 5-mile trek over the southern end of the West Maui Mountains. The trail climbs over ridges and through gulches to some 1,600 feet above sea level and features breathtaking panoramic views. Especially at higher elevations, the red dirt trail is dry and arid, lined by windswept grass, thistles and low brush. It’s undeniably beautiful, but a far cry from the flowering green opulence (both real and manmade) that punctuates much of the Valley Isle. The trail can be tackled from either the east or west end. The eastern trailhead is about 2.5 miles south of Wailuku, off an unpaved access road adjacent to Honoapiilani Highway. The western entry point lies west of Maalaea around the 11-mile marker. Starting at the eastern end will put the sun at your back, but it’s also a steeper initial climb. The western end offers a more gradual (though still precipitous) ascent, but the sun will hit you square-on and the decent is slippery and uneven (wear sturdy hiking shoes). Whichever starting point you choose, park a car at either end or arrange to have someone pick you up.

Getting going early is paramount. Once the sun reaches its high point (and even before) there’s little shelter from the heat, and the steep climb will have you sweating. Apply sunscreen liberally, and bring more water than you think you’ll need—you’ll need it. A plaque at both trailheads informs hikers that they’re “Follow[ing] in the footsteps of travelers from over a century ago.” Before cars and highways invaded the island, the trail was the main route for foot traffic between Wailuku and Lahaina. One feature that wasn’t available in those days is a good look at the windmills. Though it would take an unauthorized (and thus unadvised) detour off the trail to stand right underneath the towering power generators, you’ll get close enough to notice little details, like how they’re outfitted with small doors at the base, which caused this writer’s mind to conjure up images of magical windmill people (maybe it was the heat). This isn’t a leisurely stroll, but it’s accessible enough for anyone in reasonably decent shape who wants to rise early, get a workout and see a different side of Maui. MTW

ONO KINEGRINDS

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

A different flavor New Kihei restaurant puts a unique twist on Pacific Rim cuisine ruise by the Kihei Town Center on a weekday evening, and you’re likely to see a line snaking out the door of Sansei, which offers half-price sushi to folks willing to queue up early. As word spreads about Cuatro—the new Latin-Pacific Rim fusion restaurant located a few doors down—there will be a new reason for crowds to gather.

Cuatro 1881, S. Kihei Rd. Ste. 111 879-1110 Open daily 4-10pm

Cuatro is actually a joint venture between Sansei owner D.K. Kodama and veteran chef Eric Arbogast. The potency of that partnership shines through in the variety and quality of the food. The place is small, just a handful of tables with seating for about

30 that run right up to the rather cozy kitchen. And the menu is pretty small too; despite the eclectic nature of the food, you won’t find an endless array of options. But what is there is fine-

tuned. Asked what he recommends, Arbogast says, in essence, everything. Each dish is planned and executed with care and forethought—there are no filler items. (As proof of Arbogast’s dedication to perfection, on our visit the waitress informed us one of the appetizers, the pork empanadas, was unavailable because the chef was less-than-pleased with the way the dough had turned out.) We started our meal with the spicy tuna nachos, an award-winning Arbogast signature. It’s easy to see why the accolades have poured in—sweet and savory are joined by a noticeable but not overpowering kick that comes on a few seconds after you’ve swallowed. The word “nacho”— which conjures up images of heaps of greasy, cheese-covered chips—doesn’t do justice to the subtlety of this exemplary pupu, which is great to share but would make a nice light meal for one. Cuatro is still in the process of obtaining its liquor license as of this writing, so for now it’s BYOB. Fortunately, Foodland is just across the parking lot (here’s betting the grocery store’s beer and wine sales get a bump as Cuatro builds a loyal following). A member of our party returned with a bottle of syrah just as the entrées were arriving. While the waitress uncorked the bottle we dug in, and the resulting silence— interrupted only by occasional satisfied grunts—told the story. The steak—which is available as both a full entrée and in smaller appetizer form—

was tender and flavorful, while the shrimp pasta was delicate yet hearty. But the dish that stood above the rest was the “Mauiterranean” style mahi, served on a bed of mashed potatoes. Someone commented that the dish looked like ice cream, and tasted even better. One item we didn’t get a chance to sample but that sounds well worth a try is the chicken breast stuffed with ham, chilies and pepper jack cheese. Manager Brad Aquinde says the restaurant is looking to combine affordable upscale eats with a family friendly vibe. Considering

the kindness and understanding they showed the rambunctious keiki in our bunch, that’s more than mere lip service. One final note: While it’s true that famous people are, in most respects, no different than the rest of us, they do tend to have a lot more money and thus can be choosy about where—and what—they eat. On the night we dined at Cuatro, one of Maui’s resident celebrities—NBA coach Don Nelson—stopped by with a few friends, and looked to be thoroughly enjoying himself. He wasn’t the only one. MTW

P.O.R.T.A.L. soul A trippy electro jam band on Maui? And they have fans? Yep ’d seen their intriguingly ambiguous name on various fliers, but I had yet to check them out. Then I found out P.O.R.T.A.L. is an acronym for People of Revolutionary Thought and Living. That got me a little closer to understanding what they do, but I still couldn’t peg them.

P.O.R.T.A.L. Next gig: CD release party, Friday, May 22, 8pm at Village East, Pauwela Cannery, Haiku Web site: portalmaui.com Ahead of the release of their new self-titled EP, I decided it was time to unravel the mystery. A visit to their Web site turned up a surprising result. It’s not often that I hear a local band and think, “I’ll bet these guys listen to a lot of Zappa.” And Floyd. And Nine Inch Nails. And Can; definitely Can.

Although they have a few core members, P.O.R.T.A.L. is more of a collective than a band. The concept, says vocalist, sax player, keyboardist and cowbell player Scott Harding, is being open to essentially any musician who wants to take part— within reason. It makes for an eclectic— and very trippy—sound. Most of their tunes are long (the shortest is the satirical “Docilifan,” which comes in at 4 minutes, 34 seconds) and careen between electronica and the jammier side of psychedelic rock. This is embodied by the song “Geppeto’s Dream,” a tune that starts out with a strange melody invocative of sunken ships and broken dolls in hurricane-torn attics. Then comes an evil robot of an electronic drum beat. Guitar and keys subsequently join the fray and make for an overall creepy, but palatable, tune. Harding serves as the band’s primary songwriter. JR Mathson, with whom Harding grew up in Evanston, Wyoming, programs beat samples and plays bass.

Justin Favell provides vocals as well as the group’s signature spaced-out yet calculated guitar leads. Chava Godinez is on drums and Tobey Couture, whose resume includes the Kryptones, Guerrilla Jazz and a few other Valley Isle bands, is on keys. Also playing important roles are videographer and visual effects artist Toney Chimienti and digital visual artist Benjamen Christ, who designed their tripped-out album art. Despite appearances, it’s clear these guys didn’t get the idea to start making music after eating mushrooms and listening to Billy Breathes on the beach. The tunes on their EP are heavy on synth, beat box and of course effects pedals, but a

song can shift modes at the drop of a Frisbee. My personal favorite is “In A Row.” It’s got an incredibly catchy melody (think the Doors’ “Love Street” or the bridge from “L’America”), and breaks into a much darker and heavier chorus. P.O.R.T.A.L. started gigging on Maui in 2007, and they faced some pretty tough crowds at first—audiences that weren’t expecting a band to play protracted electro jams for three hours with no breaks. But they seem to have amassed a following, partly online. They’ve got some stuff up on MySpace and garageband.com and say they’ve gotten positive listener feedback from as far away as Bangkok, Austria and the U.K. MTW

Sweet ‘Salvation’ Terminator reboot delivers compelling thrills ames Cameron’s 1984 hit The Terminator now feels more like an ’80s B movie than the influential sci-fi classic it truly is. Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day is still a solid candidate for Greatest Action Movie of All Time. The belated

Terminator Salvation

★★★★★ ★ Rated PG-13/110 min.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was uneven but still exciting. Now, Charlie’s Angels director McG, no one’s first choice to continue the Terminator franchise, gives us a surprisingly impressive thrill machine. Salvation begins in 2003, the year the previous sequel took place, for an intriguing prologue that introduces

pivotal new characters and shows the Skynet company partaking in a creepy experiment. We’re then thrust into a battle-weary vision of the future, where killer robots are winning the war against humanity and only John Conner (played this time by Christian Bale) knows the secret to saving mankind. With its stunning air battles, mile-wide explosions and epic scope, this resembles a futuristic Apocalypse Now and visually brings to mind Mad Max, War of the Worlds and Bale’s own Reign of Fire, but also respectfully references the prior Terminator movies in ways that made the packed audience cheer loudly. McG may not be another Cameron, but he has made a compelling summer movie. A new character with hidden motives named Marcus Wright is played by Sam Worthington, in a highly touted starring role debut. Worthington also stars in Cameron’s Avatar (out this December) and is more than adequate here, though this isn’t a household name-making turn. Bale’s intense performance sometimes feels like self-parody (you hear him occa-

Ever heard of red-eye reduction? sionally slip into his Batman voice), but he’s such a compelling actor, you can’t take your eyes off of him. Bryce Dallas Howard does a lot with a role so thinly defined, the movie never bothers to make clear that she’s playing Claire Danes’ T3 role. Anton Yelchin, currently stealing scenes as Chekhov in Star Trek, plays a young Kyle Reese, who was portrayed by Michael Biehn in the first movie; Yelchin perfectly mimics Biehn’s vocal style and jittery posture.

Despite the PG-13 rating, fans seeking carnage on the level of the first three installments will have nothing to complain about, though non-fans will feel left out and should brush up on their Terminator knowledge before seeing this one. As the first chapter of a proposed trilogy, this a great start for the series; I’m intrigued by the possibilities. Another nice touch is the genuine closure at the film’s end: trilogy or not, Salvation concludes with a real ending and not a cliffhanger cheat. MTW

Maui Film Festival Candlelight Cinema

MANAGEMENT - R - Comedy - The son of a hotel owner (Steve Zahn) falls for a businesswoman who passes through (Jennifer Aniston), and risks bear attacks and heartbreak to follow her across the country. 93 min.

BART GOT A ROOM - PG13 - Comedy - A way-too-short William H. Macy comedy about a Jewish teen in South Florida who’s trying to get a prom date - and a hotel room - while dealing with his divorced parents (a clue to how good this flick is: they’re played by Macy and Cheryl Hines a.k.a. Cheryl David). 80 min.

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS - PG - Animation Wow, this Dreamworks film’s name is right up there with ‘Zombies vs. Bears,’ or even ‘Zombies vs. Sharks.’ It involves ‘Monsters, Inc.’-esque creatures that must step up to defend the earth against aliens. Seth Rogen, Reese Witherspoon and Will Arnett lend their voices. 94 min.

New This Week DANCE FLICK - PG13 - Art, Foreign - One of those Wayans Brothers “Movie” attempts, and presumably an instant classic. It involves an interracial boy-girl dance duo. High on the lobotomized farm animal must-see list. 83 min. NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM II - PG Comedy - A Ben Stiller-induced security guard finds himself in yet another museum wherein a pharaoh’s curse makes stuff come to life at night. This time it’s the Smithsonian. It’s got Steve Coogan and Christopher Guest, among others, which is what confuses me. 105 min. TERMINATOR: SALVATION - R - Action Hey, you know what cash cow action franchise hasn’t been revisited on the big screen in a while? Only this time it’s 2018. John Conner is all grown up and presumably dreamy. Humanity is on the brink of eradication. Conner leads the resistance when a mysterious and undoubtedly equally dreamy stranger shows up. Do the math. 115 min.

Now Showing 17 AGAIN - PG13 - Comedy - A thirtysomething dude (played by Matthew Perry) with a dead-end job and a crumbling marriage suddenly becomes, you guessed it, 17 again (and Zac Efron, incidentally), which is the age he was when he first impregnated his wife. 102 min.

NEXT DAY AIR - R - Comedy - A chilling portrait of class struggle from the perspective of underpaid shipping company employees. Well, maybe. The story begins when said shipping employees stumble upon bricks of cocaine and get the bright idea to profit from their discovery. 90 min. OBSESSED - PG13 - Drama - Idris Elba plays an attractive and successful suit who is married to a woman played by Beyonce Knowles. It all starts to unravel when a pretty little blond temp gets a little too attached, but then presumably discovers that Scientology is the True Way. 100 min. THE SOLOIST - PG13 - Drama - Based on a not untrue story, this is the tale of a writer, played by Robert Downey, Jr. who discovers an unbelievably talented busker (Jamie Foxx). Challenges ensue. 109 min. STAR TREK - PG13 - Sci-Fi - We boldly venture further into the throes of Year of the Remake with this new spin on a sci-fi classic. Although this one isn’t a full-on remake, but rather a prequel to the series of events we all know and love from the original flicks. Plus: Simon Pegg - of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ fame - plays Scotty. I would totally go full nerd for Simon Pegg. 126 min. X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE - PG13 Action - This film, which I thought they already made, traces the origins of the dreamiest mutant of all, Wolverine. Hugh Jackman stars. 107 min.

ANGELS AND DEMONS - PG13 - Thriller - Based on the smash hit Dan Brown airplane page-turner of the same name, this flick follows a similar arc as that of Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ in that it involves uncovering some trippy crypto-conspiracy type stuff involving the Vatican. I’m guessing this, much like the novel, will be more widely consumed aboard aircraft than anyplace else. Hail Eris. 138 min.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

MAY 21, 2009

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Is this your homework, Larry? Thursday (May 21), 9pm, Cafe Mambo, Paia The Big Lebowski is the Greatest Movie Known to Man. That’s really all that can be said. The fact that it has a humongous cult following should demonstrate its place within the cream of the classic film crop. Need more? Lebowski festivals take place across the country, and Lebowski-philes attend dressed as the Dude, Maude, Bunny, green polish-adorned toes, 5,000 years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy Koufax, the f*&^in’ Eagles and other people, things and lines having to do with the Coen Brother’s quirky masterpiece. Even Maui has a Lebowski party or two. For a recent one, I went as Bunny (my friend and I drove all over the island to find the right shade of toenail polish), but I think next year I’m going to go as the Tenets of National Socialism. If you have any idea what in God’s name I’m blathering about, attending tonight’s screening at Cafe Mambo is imperative. Don a robe and jelly shoes and have yourself an oat soda. It’s a league game, Smokey.

THURSDAY

Saddle tale Thursday (May 21) 6:30pm, Kula Community Center Republicans use cowboys to signify rugged individualism and justify not taxing the super rich. But John Wayne these folks were not. Probably a more realistic portrayal of cowboys, said to have generally been softspoken loners who shied away from showdowns, was that of the Tommy Lee Jones film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. This evening’s event, called “When Maui was Horse Crazy,” aims to show the real lives of real-life Maui paniolos, who played a huge part in the island’s evolution. The Maui Cattleman’s Association as well as the Kula Community Association host this opportunity to check out a temporary display of the Paniolo Hall of Fame (to the dismay of those who know how important paniolos are on Maui, the Valley Isle lacks a permanent home for this exhibit, which consists of photos, biographies and oral histories). Famed paniolos Harold Amoral, Henry Silva and Merton Kekiwi will be on hand to talk story. The night kicks off with a screening of the short film Ikua Rides Again: King of the Hawaiian Cowboys. (Ikua Purdy was an Ulupalakua ranch foreman who in 1908 blew away the competition at the World Roping Championship in Cheyenne.)

Ten years gone

Friday & Saturday (May 22-23), 5:30 & 6:30pm, Lahaina town

Saturday (May 23), 9pm, Casanova, Makawao

Your favorite Moby Dick character says a lot about you. I went through an Ahab phase a while back, but I must say that these day’s it’s a toss-up between Queequeg and the Whale. Whaling, however twisted, was obviously one of the most important industries on the Valley Isle at one time. Lahaina Restoration Foundation’s first-ever “progressive dinner” aims to take us back to those days without the aid of a time machine or George Carlin. The LRF scholarship fund benefit consists of four phases. The first phase is grog and pupus at the historic Pioneer Inn. The second is dinner at the Baldwin home, complete with vegetables from Mrs. Baldwin’s Garden. The third: “class” and a church choir performance at Hale Aloha. And finally, tea, desserts and chicken-skin tales at the old Lahaina prison. Theatrical director Katherine Cloutier and costume designer Sharon Fredy choreograph this theatrical glimpse into the past, where guests can converse with seafarers and other friendly period costume-festooned folk. There will be two seatings each night; capacity is limited to 49 due to fire code (did they have those in Melville’s day?). Call 6613262 to reserve. $135.

Excellently enough, Casanova has been helping Upcountry rock for a full two decades. To celebrate the Italian joint/nightlife hub’s first ten years back in 1999, they brought in enormously popular, multiple-Hoku-winning Hawaiian-folk-surf-what have you band Hapa. The duo originally formed in 1983 (the lineup was Barry Flanagan and Kelii Kanealii), blew up in 1993 and currently consists of Flanagan and Nathan Aweau. They return to make the celebration of Casanova’s second decade a surefire rager. Most excellent. Hail Eris. $35/$70 (dinner and show).

DAY

But does it match the drapes? Saturday (May 23), 6:30pm, Gian Don’s, Kihei Opportunities to get glammed up to the Ts are rare on Maui. But sometimes a formalish benefit comes around that warrants the donning of the strappiest of heels and perhaps a spot of glitter. Saturday’s Hollywood Red Carpet Night is one such instance. A benefit for Women Helping Women of Maui, its organizers aim to make a movie star out of you…for the evening. Guests walk in on a real red carpet and even get their photos taken by “paparazzi” at the entrance. Food and drink, likely of the fancy variety, will abound, and a fashion show featuring the goods from Elly’s Formal Wear & Bridals will ensue at 7:30pm. DJ Del Sol, who rules, will spin. Admission is $30 at the door. DJ Michael Fong will preside over the super-fabulous after party, which begins at 10pm.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Imagine you got stranded in the deep wilderness with your least favorite person. Despite your dislike, it wouldn’t take long before you’d be relying on each other for survival, even gratefully spooning for warmth on cold and rainy nights. Unconventional situations breed strange alliances. This qualifies, wouldn’t you say? If you walked away from your frenemy before you realized quite how useful they could be, you’d surely regret it for a very long time. This scenario will either be a big win-win, or a miserable lose-lose situation. Which way it turns out is completely up to you.

When a shy high school classmate of mine was cast in the lead role of the school play, the director eventually had to hook her up to a mic, because she was either unwilling or incapable of actually raising her voice. She probably got cast because she was pretty—too bad she was in all other ways unsuited to being an actress. You, too, have been put into a situation that doesn’t exactly play to your strengths. Unlike that hapless teenage girl, however, I trust that you can rise to the challenge. Prove me right, please.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Imagine you got the ability to magically change your shape, but you only got to choose two other forms. What would you pick, and why? Your selections would certainly reveal a lot about who you are right now. Next, consider your selections in the fullness of time. How happy would you be with them in ten years, or fifty? How well would they serve you? What about all the other choices you’re making right now? I’m guessing that your elderly self wouldn’t exactly approve of or be pleased by some of them. You don’t need to make all your decisions based on how well they’ll set up your future, but consider using that criteria for at least a few. In other words, throw Future You a bone this week, won’t you?

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Sometimes you remind me of a mermaid, whose tail has split into legs, but for whom every step is a painful trial. I don’t know what brought you out of the ocean and onto dry land, and I don’t care. What concerns me is that you haven’t yet really arrived. Part of you—the part that counts—is still back in the sea, or longing to be. What needs to happen now is you need to either fully arrive—that is, bring all of yourself to where you are, and be happy to be there—or head back to where you came from (and where you think you’ll be happy), once and for all.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Everyone should have an active fantasy life. In fact, I worry that many people’s inner lives are mostly too staid and dull these days, and I highly encourage everyone to practice and hone their imaginations to juicy and vivid intensity. However, when you start spending more time in your head than out in the real world, it’s not usually good for your overall well being. Ironically (because your symbol is the scales), your balance may be off—that is, you may just be letting your fantasy life (some would call it delusional tendencies) to eclipse what’s really going on. Shift the equation slightly, in favor of the real world. No need to overcompensate when correcting it, though; a 60-40 split will do just fine for now.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) As much as you’d like to construct your ideal partner out of bits and pieces of other people you’ve known and admired, that’s not how it works. Nor is there a reasonable facsimile of your romantic Frankenstein’s monster floating around out there, just waiting for you to discover him and her. Stop comparing people to that artificial and illusory ideal, because no one can stack up, and you’ll end up hurting people when you let them try. Your Frankenstein’s lover is a monstrosity that can’t really exist. Forget about it. Try to wipe your mind clean of any and all preconceived notions—let your next romantic entanglement be a complete and utter surprise.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) The problem with weeds is that in most cases they are hardier and better-suited to growing in your garden than the plants you’d prefer to cultivate there. Same goes with memes (persistent thought patterns or concepts). Sometimes getting good ones to thrive requires a good amount of pruning, weeding, and TLC. You’ve neglected that; your mental garden is overrun with a whole bunch of crap that simply won’t inspire or feed you. Time to clear some of that shit out so good stuff can grow again. And this time, don’t neglect it. Your mind is as fertile and rich as it could possibly be—letting it support only dandelions and ragweed is a terrible waste.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) I always hated the song, Don’t Worry, Be Happy. But I can’t fault its sentiment. You’ve been getting so worked up about shit that really, really doesn’t matter. At all. In fact, if you could truly stand outside of yourself, and impassively observe the big fuss you’re kicking up, you’d be embarrassed. Mortified, even. There’s almost nothing in your life worth worrying about; there’s a bunch of stuff that’s completely out of your control, and thus there’s no point obsessing about it, and a whole shitload of stuff that is so petty and meaningless that it’s not worth the energy to freak out about. So, seriously—do what you’ve got to do, but stop worrying and start just plain being happy.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Despite what you seem to think, not everything you do has to be pure genius. While generally admirable, being such a perfectionist is possibly holding you back right now. Putting something out into the world when it’s only 80% of the way “there” (and already very good) may feel wrong, but it’s a hell of a lot better than sitting on it forever. You’ve already put a tremendous amount of effort forth. Now it’s time to let things go. Feel free to keep tweaking if you like—but only in collaboration with the world at large.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) There are all kinds of incidents of people doing stuff while under the influence of sleep medications, and having no memory or awareness of that stuff later. They argue that they can hardly be held accountable for what they did while effectively sleepwalking. Perhaps that’s right, but there’s more virtue in taking responsibility for things you said or did, regardless of your state of mind at the time. This week if you’re given a free pass, please consider not taking it. Instead, just own what happened, and your role in it, whether or not you privately think the blame ought to be laid at your feet. Your magnanimity will be noted.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Sometimes the only way to get through something is in small increments. The whole deal about taking things one day or step at a time is a cliché because it works—it’s usually much more viable than wrapping your head around how long and hard you’ll ultimately have to work to reach the end. Knowing that ahead of time, or trying to face that day in and day out, and almost every single one of us would feel overwhelmed and sorely tempted to quit. There are times to look ahead and make big, ambitious plans. This isn’t one of them. For now, take each thing as it comes. When it’s time to plan beyond the next few moments, you’ll know.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) I actually find stubbornness an appealing quality at times—except when it’s not. While sticking to your guns is frequently worth it, it’s occasionally exactly the wrong thing to do, especially when it needlessly holds up a process involving numerous other people (who happen to disagree with you). This week, be honest with yourself about why you’re digging in your heels and refusing to go with the flow. If it’s a reason you’ll be proud of ten years from now, by all means carry on. If it’s anything less than that, please have the grace to just let it go.

celebration of the life of Levi Gruys was held on May 20th, in Santa Cruz. Mr. Gruys, 36, passed away unexpectedly at his Santa Cruz home on May 3, 2009. Born in Santa Cruz, he graduated from Loma Prieta High School, and for the past 20 years worked in the tile trade with Rinaldi Tile & Marble Company. He loved Maui and resided here on and off from 1992 to 2000. Mr. Gruys was an accomplished cook, and enjoyed preparing meals for his family. He had an outgoing, boisterous, and fun loving personality and you always knew when he was in the room. He loved music and will be remembered as a loving father whose loyalty and generosity will be missed. He is survived by his daughter, Samantha Gruys of Santa Cruz, his mother, Ellen S. Davidson of Santa Cruz, his father, Bob Gruys of Cave Junction, Oregon, his brother, Page Gruys of Soquel, his paternal

grandmother, Elizabeth Gruys of Adamstown, Maryland, and a host of extended family, friends and those in the recovery community. The celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at Benito and Azzaro Pacific Gardens Chapel beginning at 7 p.m. Any kind acts of charity or remembrances may be made in Mr. Gruys name to an education account for Samantha W. Gruys at the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union at 324 Front St., Santa Cruz, CA 95060 or to the Second Harvest Food Bank.
