MAUI TIME WEEKLY

LOCATED AT MAUI TOYOTA • 320 HANA HWY • KAHULUI • 877-2781

LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR CASE AGAINST CASE Senator Daniel Akaka has stood up for the hard questions over the years (Coconut Wireless, Sept. 7, 2006). Peace for one thing—not committing our troops without real verifiable information. I have disagreements with the Senator on some issues like ANWR [the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge]—that’s the nature of things. He is a true Hawaiian, and has a real and proven commitment to the people of Hawai`i and as such, has my vote.

My mailbox has been swamped by a flood of ads for Ed Case that were bought and paid for by the Realtors Political Action Committee, Washington, D.C. Seems Case has the power to leap tall buildings in a single bound and will save Hawai`i from everything. And, get this—now he’s claiming he is fourth generation Hawaiian. Slick. Very slick. Until you stop for a moment and ask—why do all these well-financed outsiders want Case elected? This PAC money isn’t from around here, folks.

Powerful interests want a friendly face in Washington. Case has shown he is very friendly to large corporate interests, to President Bush, to the agenda of the invasion of Iraq— Patriot Act II, repeal of the ultra rich people’s estate tax, privatization of Social Security. The list is endless.

Can you be fooled by this campaign? Ed Case and his big money backers sure hope so. Just send the simple people of Hawai`i enough slick ads, and they will line up at the polls. What arrogance.

-Sean Lester, Haiku Ed Case is backed by a million-dollar campaign from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and some members of the Hawaiian Association of Realtors. I am a member of the Hawai`i Association of Realtors and am voting for Senator Akaka.

Why? Because I’ve been to his “talk story” events, heard his reasons for backing the war in Iraq, Patriot Act II and I don’t like it.

I see the underlying truth that is so glaringly evident in Case’s voting record and his propensity to back the Bush agenda.

Ed Case is benefiting from millions of mainland dollars targeting Hawai`i.

Those donors want to assure that the U.S. Senate stays sympathetic to the Bush Administration. Democratic control might raise the impeachment question. And the NAR has been doing an almost weekly mail campaign for Case because he supports repeal of the estate tax, favors reduction of capital gains taxes and he supports reforms to the Bankruptcy Code. I wonder: if Hawai`i were a Republican state, wouldn’t Mr. Case would be one of them?

Take time to look at Senator Akaka’s 30 years of work for the people of Hawai`i, our veterans, education needs and special health needs. Recently he opposed the war in Iraq and even now advocates diplomatic efforts to defuse the situation with Iran. Mr. Akaka has deep values and votes his conscience. Different styles of men, different styles of governing.

The choice is clear—if you like where we are going after six years of Bush, vote Ed Case. If you want a man of principle who reflects this in his life and voting record, vote for Senator Akaka.

-Andre Teuben, Haiku

ehbrah@mauitime.com Thanks a lot for stealing the handicapped placard from my husband’s truck. You know it took him a lot of time and energy to get that placard, even though he has problems breathing. It gets even worse when the air in the truck gets hot. You may justify stealing that sign by saying you or someone else you know needs it, but why didn’t you just get off your okole and go apply for one of your own? Probably because you don’t really need it but just want it so you can park legally in handicapped parking spaces. Really nice. By the way, I reported it as being stolen, so you might want to be careful where you use it.

That’s right folks: from now on, bars, restaurants, convenience stores and supermarkets will be just like every other county in Hawai`i, only required to ask for identification from customers who look under 21. For all the controversy surrounding the LC’s rule that all establishments duly licensed to sell alcohol must check every single customer’s identification regardless of whether they resemble Lindsay Lohan or Don Ho, the Liquor Commission dispensed with the rule in just 25 minutes.

The rule’s been on the books since the late 1990’s, but a series of newspaper articles, both in this paper and The Maui News, highlighted vocal and growing opposition to the rule. Though a longtime defender of the rule, it was LC Director Franklyn Silva and his staff who recommended to the Liquor Commission that they dump the rule.

In fact, Silva himself told the commissioners to leave the decision on who to card up to the licensee, “which is where it should be.”

Seven residents ultimately testified before the commission, and all were in agreement that the rule needed to go.

“This is the first hearing I’ve ever been to where nobody testified against us,” said commission chairperson Manuel Moniz, Jr. “This is something I think is proper and will benefit us all.”

The proposed rule change now goes to Mayor Alan Arakawa for final approval. After the vote, Commissioner Ron McOmber joked that because this is an election year, Arakawa’s approval probably won’t take much time.

Hawaiian Telcom drops all the way to last place this week on news that the phone company still—STILL—can’t answer at least 85 percent of their customer complaints within 20 seconds as state law demands. In August, Hawaiian Telcom—which is owned by the global equity fund Carlyle Fund, which enjoys both fabulous wealth and unprecedented access to the Bush clan and Saudi royal families—has managed to achieve that goal just 25 percent of the time. Now this is up from 11 percent the previous month, but still far short of the 87 percent figure Verizon averaged last year. Many customers are saying they’re on hold for 15, 20, even 30 minutes before reaching a living customer service representative. “I’m so ticked off by the whole thing,” customer Brad White said in the Sept. 6 Honolulu Advertiser.

“What business does the Carlyle Group have taking over a company if they can’t run it properly?” MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO ANTHONY@MAUITIME.COM

that, hey, this is not a good thing. “Last year we distributed $83.58 million in child support,” he told the AP. “That is the 42nd-highest total in the country, and we are the 42nd state in terms of population.”

Okay, so he was a bit defensive, though he did admit that, “There’s always room for improvement.” When you’re already at the bottom, can you really get any worse?… Oh, and while I was thumbing through today’s News, I noticed one of those Maui Land & Pineapple Co. ads trumpeting various employees. This one, on heavy equipment operator Amelia Ordonez, says she was named after Amelia Earhart, who she identifies as “the first woman aviator.” Yeah, that’s great except that Earhart was actually the first woman aviator who flew solo nonstop across the Atlantic. History isn’t really clear on the identity of the first woman aviator, though the smart money’s on either Eleanor Roosevelt or Greta Garbo. Anyway, I know Maui Land is really busy these days suing people for using the word “Kapalua” but there’s no reason something this simple should have slipped by.

The old Kapalua Bay Hotel, before the ultra-expensive timeshares

might not be any mandatory restrictions after all. Of course, fire fighters are using a lot of water these days trying to put the Pali out, which started burning again today, forcing officials to close the road to and from Lahaina again. Hell of a summer we’re having, ain’t it? Hell of a summer.

FRIDAY, Sept. 8 WEDNESDAY, Sept. 6 Funny how all those selfish, selfish Upcountry people keep using water.

Whattaya guys doing up there?

Showering every day? Drinking four to five glasses of water like the doctor recommends? How dare you! Don’t you know there’s a shortage on? Well, the nice County Water Director George Tengan asked you nicely a couple weeks ago to start cutting back on your water usage, and you didn’t do it. So now it’s Mandatory Cutback Time!

Maybe! “It’s over 10 million gallons a day,” Tengan said of water usage in today’s Maui News. “People need to start conserving water; otherwise we are going to have to order mandatory restrictions.” Good thing Tengan didn’t say anything about asking the Mayor and County Council if they might want to, you know, hold off issuing new development permits until the question of where we can get new water sources is settled. No need for the land developers to face any hardships if we can squeeze as much water as possible out of local residents.

THURSDAY, Sept. 7 Wonderful news, everyone!

Hawai`i is dead last in collecting child support payments from deadbeat dads! That’s right, kids: in 2005 the state collected just 41.36 percent of overdue accounts, according to an Associated Press story running in today’s Maui News. Now you can bet state Attorney General Mark Bennett did the honorable thing and admitted

SEPTEMBER 14, 2006

On this day of no military significance whatsoever beyond the fact that two American soldiers got killed in Afghanistan—wasn’t that mission “accomplished” even earlier than in Iraq?—Maui Peace Action announces that it’s endorsing state Representative Brian Schatz for the Second District Congressional seat.

“Based on his articulate and in-depth answers, Maui Peace Action believes that Brian Schatz will energetically and articulately represent Hawaii interests on all the important issues,” reads a MPA press release sent out today. “He will also be a strong voice for ending the occupation of Iraq, opposing pre-emptory attacks on other countries, and scrutinizing the U.S.’s heretofore uncritical economic and military support of Israel when he deems its actions contrary to the best interests of the U.S.” Schatz made a name for himself earlier this year by trying to get the supersecret National Security Agency to cough up info on any Hawai`i resident phone calls they may have monitored as part of their even more secret Just Spy On Everyone plan for thwarting future terrorist acts. Schatz’s work went for nothing, but who knows what he could have found out had he been part of a Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives…

SATURDAY, Sept. 9 Wow, that was fast: now Tengan’s saying that Upcountry water usage was down two million gallons a day Thursday and Friday, according to today’s Maui News.

It’s such a huge drop (Kula rain may have played a role) that Tengan says there

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

SUNDAY, Sept. 10 And another thing: on those TV and radio spots for political candidates, is it absolutely necessary for them to end with the line “I’m Candidate Whoever, and I approved this message”? I mean, it’s all fine and cool when someone else is narrating the ad and then the actual candidate appears at the end of the spot and says he or she approved the message, but when the ad is just the candidate speaking, isn’t it kind of obvious that he or she approved the message?

MONDAY, Sept. 11 Big news for all you idle rich out there: you better act fast if you’re thinking about buying one of them $300,000-$850,000 multiweek timeshares out at the RitzCarlton Club in Kapalua Bay. Now keep in mind that the average price of a timeshare nationwide is a little under $16,000, though that’s usually just for one week a year. These timeshares are going for at least 18 times that amount. And they’re going quick, too: according to today’s Honolulu Advertiser, the Ritz-Carlton has already sold $23 million worth of the time-

shares in just two months. Does this mean we’re now going to see a similar jump in Rolls Royce and Bentley rental cars?

TUESDAY, Sept. 12 Always beware the political candidate who attacks his opponent for taking “special interest” money. Democratic Congressman Ed Case has been doing just that in his bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka, and it’s not the best of tactics, according to Ian Lind’s blog this week (www.ilind.net). Lind—using data from the Federal Elections Commission—shows that in August 2006 Case benefited handsomely from the National Association of Realtors Political Action Committee, which spent $602,017 on behalf of Case. Rather than donate the money straight to Case’s campaign and run into federal donation limits, the nation’s largest and most powerful real estate lobbying organization just gave the loot directly to two firms. The first, Fenn Communications Group, got $385,000 to put out some slick television ads while the second firm, Terris Barnes & Walters, received $216,417 to conduct a direct mail campaign. Hey, it’s all a perfectly typical and legal way to run an American political race. But it also positively reeks of that old “special interest” stench.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD SERIOUSLY BI-CULTURAL Tariq Khan, 12, of New York City, bubbled with enthusiasm to a New York Times reporter in August about his love of the Grand Theft Auto video game and the hip-hop music of Fat Joe, T.I. and 50 Cent—a month after becoming a prestigious hafiz by having memorized the entire Koran in Arabic, which he actually doesn’t understand all that well. He finished the regimen in less than two years of 40-hour workweeks, and if he retains his knowledge, he and 10 people of his choosing eventually get express passage to paradise.

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS University of Central Florida student Matthew Damsky was arrested in July and charged with starting a fire in his dormitory, just so that, he said, he could meet women during the evacuation. And during the Santa Ana, Calif., murder-conspiracy trial of Aryan Brotherhood prison leaders in July, the lawyer for defendant Barry “The Baron” Mills—who was convicted along with colleague Tyler “The Hulk” Bingham—made the point that the Aryan Brotherhood is more of a social club than a criminal gang and mostly enjoys just “playing cards, reading and crocheting,” according to a New York Times report.

PEDOPHILES FIGHT BACK Three men in the Netherlands announced in May that they have formed the Charity, Freedom and Diversity party and will field candidates for office, advocating freedom to be naked in public and a reduction in the age of consent for sex to 12.

The new party, said one, will give them “a voice” because “politicians only talk about us in a negative sense.”

‘Do You Ask Everyone You Interview This Question?’

The enigmatic world of U.S. Senate candidate Charles Amsterdam

By Gena Gammie

W

e were talking about the Hawaiian kingdom. His apparent prestigious involvement in the sovereignty movement intrigued me. But everywhere I looked for information I met dead-ends.

“You’re talking to the prime minister,” he said. “That should be sufficient.”

“You’re the current prime minister?” I said. “I thought you said you were the former prime minister.”

“Yes, well I’m the former and the current prime minister of the interim government of the Kingdom of Hawai`i,” he said. “And if you don’t believe me, I can see that we won’t be getting anywhere in this conversation.”

That was the end of my second interview with Charles John Kaui Jochanan Amsterdam, a non-partisan candidate running for Daniel Akaka’s U.S. Senate seat. A few days later he called me back and gave me the names and phone numbers of two other men involved in the interim government who could vouch for him. Multiple attempts to contact these gentlemen went nowhere.

So I called Henry Noa, the current prime minister of the Reinstated Hawaiian Nation. Noa said that while he knew Amsterdam, he was certainly not

part of Noa’s government.

“Besides, how can you claim to be part of one country and then participate in the political processes of another country?” Noa asked. “I think he might be a little confused.”

That made two of us. After three extensive phone interviews and nearly a dozen hours of research, I still can’t say for certain how Amsterdam pays the rent, who he works with, why the nonprofit foundation he leads exists or how much of what he says I should believe.

He is a confusing, yet admittedly likeable and probably well-intentioned, enigma.

L

et’s start with the time I asked him what he does for a living. “Various things,” he said. “I am the president of the Zionland Foundation to promote cultural understanding, education, development and peace.” He added that he’s “an educator” with “eight degrees” that include such disciplines as dentistry and Jewish theology as well as a “follower of Jesus.”

According to Amsterdam, he first participated in the Zionland Foundation in Peace Corps-type projects in Greece and Israel at least a decade ago. He said

he had coordinated transporting used dental equipment to needy areas in Greece and had helped to organize a Peace and Culture Day in Israel, in which various cultural groups—Jews, Arabs and other cultures—convened together for a day of music, culture and food. “It was like a big luau,” Amsterdam said.

But what exactly the foundation does

is hard to say. The IRS lists the foundation as a tax-exempt organization based in Honolulu at the same building Amsterdam listed in his candidate application papers as his own mailing address.

In the foundation’s 2003 income tax return the organization reported having earned less than $25,000 during that

Bringing labor and environmentalists together again

O

rganized labor and environmental activists often seem bitter enemies on Maui. Union guys see the tree-huggers as fighting the very construction projects that give them jobs, while the tree-huggers see the union guys making a living by paving over the entire island. One of the ironies is that while labor has stayed strong in Maui’s Democratic Party, most of the island’s environmentally friendly officials—Councilwoman Jo Anne Johnson, former Councilman Wayne Nishiki and even Mayor Alan Arakawa—are all Republicans.

But now a new national effort may return some of the environmentalist label to Maui’s Democratic Party. Called the Apollo Alliance, the non-profit organization seeks to reunite labor and environmental activists nation-wide, and has already received the endorsement of dozens of organizations, including Sierra Club, the AFL-CIO, Greenpeace USA, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Here on Maui, the Apollo Alliance has already endorsed three Democratic candidates for the primary election: state Senator Shan Tsutsui (4th District), state Representative Mele Carroll (13th District) and newcomer 11th District Representative candidate Steve West.

“The three candidates are relatively young,” said Ian Chan Hodges, a local Democratic activist and past chairman of the Maui County Democratic Party. “They’re under 50, which is young for us Democrats.”

What’s next? Mayoral candidate Dain Kane getting a thumbs-up from the Sierra Club? Environmental agitator and County Council candidate Lucienne de Naie sharing a stage with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union?

Maybe that’s a bit of a stretch at this point. Still, these things have to start somewhere.

“Candidates with both endorsements should do well,” said Chan Hodges. “Pulling these together is the only way to take on [Governor Linda] Lingle.”

fiscal year. On that form, Amsterdam reported receiving no compensation from the Foundation. Other than a couple of letters Amsterdam had written on Zionland Foundation letterhead, I could find no mention of the organization anywhere.

In a follow-up interview with Amsterdam, he said the Zionland Foundation was an international organization founded in 1983 to promote cultural understanding and peace. He said it had most recently organized conferences to promote the advancement of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It also, he said, was helping to organize a “Prayer and Fellowship Day” at Iolani Palace that Saturday (July 23, 2006) in order to pray for peace—especially in the Middle East.

Neither the Honolulu Advertiser nor the Star-Bulletin had any listings for anything like that.

A

s far as being an “educator,” Amsterdam holds no position as an actual teacher or professor. But he did say that the Zionland Foundation worked with a program called Education Direct, promoting distance learning to certify people rather than their spending the money to get a degree from a university. Further inquiries into Education Direct revealed that it was a University of Phoenix-type operation offering correspondence courses. It made no mention of Amsterdam or the Zionland Foundation.

Then there’s the matter of Amsterdam’s income. “Could you tell me about your source of income?” I asked him during our third interview.

“Well, sure,” he said. “There are different aspects of it. There are investments, and real estate, and jobs.”

“What sort of jobs are you talking about?” I said.

“Well, there are all sorts of ways one could seek employment,” he said.

“Students at the UH Medical School have coordinated with social services to provide jobs-” “Was this a project through the Zionland Foundation?”

“No, no. This was different.”

“Are you involved in this project at all?”

“No, but let me answer your first question,” he said. “People are referring others to jobs-” “I understand the concept of employment,” I said. “How do you generate income?”

Amsterdam became flustered. “Do you ask everyone you interview this question?” he asked.

“How they make money?” I said, incredulous. “Yeah. Most people just tell me what their job is. Seeing how you run a non-profit and are running for public office, I think it’s a fair question.”

“Oh,” he said. “Well there are contributions, investments and bank notes. Yeah, that’s enough.”

Serves me right for asking such a simple question.

A

nother project close to Amsterdam’s heart is what he refers to over and over as the “blossoming of and advancement of the Kingdom of Hawai`i.” In November 1999, Amsterdam wrote a two-page letter to the U.S. Department of Interior requesting the immediate restoration of the Kingdom of Hawai`i. He signed his full name, as well as the following professional titles: “Chief Representative of the Zionland Foundation,” “Member of the Royal Hawaiian Elders of Israel” and “Descendent of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani.”

In November 2000, after badly losing a bid to get elected to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), he—acting as “The Interim Government of the Kingdom of Hawai`i, C. Kaui Jochanan Amsterdam, Prime Minister”—filed a lawsuit against the State of Hawai`i challenging the election’s legality. He placed 19th out of 20 candidates, but he felt that the election results were unfair and illegitimate because non-Hawaiians had been allowed to vote. The Supreme Court of Hawai`i dismissed the case two years later.

Amsterdam believes Hawai`i could capitalize on the tourist draws that a royal family and palace would provide, much as the United Kingdom does. He also thinks that it would be righteous to

use the aloha spirit to transform Hawai`i from being the military center of the Pacific to one of diplomacy.

If elected senator, Amsterdam told me he would “inspire the other senators to know the reality of what we’re doing” in the sovereignty movement. He said he would only go to Washington, D.C. for one term and would use his background in the interim government of the Hawaiian Kingdom to promote the peaceful co-existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States of America.

Amsterdam also said he would help to advance the Kingdom of Hawai`i through the power of God and Jesus.

“Through their power they raised up Israel and they will raise up the Kingdom of Hawai`i,” he said. “It will be a testament to the glory of God.” In our last interview Amsterdam asked me why I had so many questions for him.

“I’m just trying to figure you out,” I said.

“Well you won’t,” he replied. “You’ll just keep coming back with more questions.” MTW

Open Seats!

Condensing the primary election’s County Council races

By Anthony Pignataro

I

t’s not often that voters get to play around with even one wide-open County Council race in the primary. This year, they get two: the East Maui seat is open because Bob Carroll is retiring and the Wailuku seat’s open because Dain Kane thinks he can be mayor (Charmaine Tavares is also leaving her Upcountry seat to run for mayor, but because there are just two candidates in that race it will wait until the general election).

The stakes—rampant growth, exploding traffic, an uncertain water future, skyrocketing property taxes—are considerable. Should no candidate in either race win an outright majority, the top two finishers will go on to the general election in November. Anyway, here are my snapshots of the candidates, arranged exactly as they appear on the ballot:

East Maui DE NAIE, Lucienne (Luci) Since moving to Maui in 1972, de Naie has researched, written about and agitated for smarter growth, better water management, more affordable housing and more thoughtful preservation of ancient Hawaiian archaeological sites. For land developers like Everett Dowling, who wants to build luxury condos in Makena, de Naie is pretty much the antichrist. (For more on de Naie, see Better Know a Candidate in our Sept. 7, 2006 issue)

Sam Kalalau

KALALAU, Sam A 25-year county employee, Kalalau is currently a Highway Supervisor and chairman of the Maui County Cultural Resources Commission. He’s also a “part time farmer,” Vietnam Vet and past member of the Maui County Board of Variances and Appeals. (For more on Kalalau, see Better Know a Candidate in our Aug. 24, 2006 issue) MEDEIROS, Bill (Kauakea) Endorsed by organized labor and Bob Carroll himself, Medeiros is a nice guy who, if elected, will probably be a lot like Carroll: someone eminently gracious and agreeable, but who will ultimately follow the land developers’ lead. (For more on Medeiros, see Better Know a Candidate in our July 6, 2006 issue)

Nick Nikhilananda NIKHILANANDA, Nick No longer sporting his trademark moustache, Nikhilananda is a Green Party activist and host of the Akaku program Maui Talks-TV. He’s also run unsuccessfully for office on Maui six previous times, but you shouldn’t hold that against him.

Wailuku-Waihee-Waikapu CABEBE, Rogelio Sr. (Rudy) Rudy is a t-shirt screener, golfer and guitarist who has no prior political experience. He wants to bring a “Chinatown atmosphere” to Wailuku Town and affordable housing to working families.

HARRY, Blitz This junior high P.E. teacher voted for George W. Bush twice—TWICE!—doesn’t care for the proposed Superferry and said when Maui Time reporter Gena Gammie asked about his platform, “I don’t have a platform. No, this is my platform: I’m going to go around to community associations and have them tell me what the problems are.” And yes, his first name really is Blitz. (For more on Harry, see Better Know a Candidate in our June 15, 2006 issue) VICTORINO, Mike Chairman of the county’s Board of Water Supply, Victorino recently went on the radio and said without any irony that the county needed “accountability” where water was concerned. Blessed with the gift of gab, Victorino nonetheless grabbed endorsements from the good government Ohana Coalition and the Sierra Club. MTW

Better Know A Candidate Stephen West

By Gena Gammie RUNNING FOR: State Representative, 11th District (South Maui) CURRENT OCCUPATION: Bartender at the Maui Prince Hotel, Banquet Waiter at the Grand Wailea Hotel MAUI TIME WEEKLY: Why should people vote for you?

STEPHEN WEST: I am a working family candidate. I work two jobs, and I have two children. I’m pretty in touch with the workingman out there struggling and trying to make a living. From the educational aspect, I’m really up with what needs to happen with the education system. I care about how my children are raised and the families around me. At this point, the bottom line is that I just see nothing being done in our education system. I know what the issues are in relation to our family and the needs that they have.

What do you see as the first priority in land development?

H Superferry?

I’m strongly against it. If I have to say ouch again, I will say ouch again.

What’s the most difficult thing you’ve ever had to do?

Our community needs a school, and that should be the top priority for South Maui. Not only do we need a school, we need a school that is energy independent—one that will basically be a model for other schools in the state. We have the ability now to put solar in our schools and actually save money instead of spending it. We can then take that money and give it back to our teachers and our students.

As well as that, I recently wrote a resolution for the Democratic Party which pertained to basically sweat equity housing for our residents, getting them a much more realistic chance at buying a home by getting groups like Habitat for Humanity involved and by offering tax incentives to the businesses to be involved in this process as well.

What are your feelings on Hawaiian sovereignty?

I think they definitely deserve recognition, and I truly believe that they need a stronger voice. I definitely believe in the Akaka Bill as a first step, one of many that need to be taken.

The most difficult thing that I’ve ever had to do is being a father and having to work two jobs and juggle the busy life to try and give my children that quality of life. In addition to that would be when my wife and I took on a 13-year-old that had parents that were crystal meth addicts. We really had to nurture her and get her to a point where she felt good about herself and about being a part of something.

What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

I’m definitely not a scholar, so a lot of times when I go to speak I just speak from the heart, and I end up embarrassing myself. It happens quite frequently.

What was the last book you read?

The Art of War by Sun Tzu. What is your favorite thing about Maui?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Linda Lingle?

[Laughing] Ouch.

Iraq?

I hate to say ouch again, but it hurts. A double ouch.

Pakalolo?

Boy, oh boy. Damn. Clothing.

Meeting my wife here, and just being able to spend any free time with her and being with her here, seeing as I’m from Iowa. In addition to that I want to say that I really enjoy Hana when I go there. It has a sort of peacefulness to me and brings me back to center.

If you are elected, what is one thing you will not do?

I can tell you this right now, I will not be a Republican. I will not forget about where I am from, what experiences I’ve had, and I will not forget about the workingman because I am a Democrat. MTW

e’s the right-wing senior U.S. Senator from Arizona, storied POW from the Vietnam War and presumptive front-runner for the Republican nomination in the 2008 presidential campaign.

She’s the first-term, extremely well funded rightof-center Republican Governor of Hawai`i cruising through a cakewalk reelection campaign.

On Oct. 3, Senator John McCain and Governor Linda Lingle will meet at The Dunes at Maui Lani for a private, intimate (no more than 60 people) $1,000-per-plate fundraiser for Lingle’s reelection campaign. Is this the start of a beautiful political relationship that could “consummate,” if you will, in the White House in two years?

It’s not as outlandish as it sounds. Lingle’s political ambitions clearly stretch to Washington.

And last year, Senator Daniel Akaka, of all people, brought the two together.

It was the spring of 2005, and the papers were filled with reports of an impending vote in the Senate on Akaka’s Native Hawaiian Recognition Bill. But first the bill came up in the Senate’s Indian Affairs Committee, which McCain chaired.

At first, McCain told reporters that he had serious problems with the bill and wondered aloud about its usefulness and constitutionality.

Then Ms. Linda Lingle flew to town, testified before the committee and met with McCain. A few days later, on March 9, 2005, a slightly amended version of the Akaka Bill passed unanimously out of McCain’s committee. A few months later, when the bill looked like it was coming up for a full vote in the Senate (Hurricanes Katrina and Rita squelched that), McCain had become a full Akaka Bill booster. And he publicly said it was all due to Lingle’s influence.

“Here in Washington, it’s hard for us to go against the view of the governor, the Legislature— Republican and Democrat—the senators and the congressman,” he said in the Honolulu Advertiser on June 29, 2005.

And now he’s going to help raise $60,000 for Lingle. By my count, that’s two favors McCain’s given to Lingle. Way I see it, Lingle owes McCain plenty.

Please vote on Saturday, Sept. 23 KEEP MAUI MAUI; LET’S PROTECT WHAT WE HAVE AND PRESERVE FOR THE FUTURE Paid for by Friends of Nick P.O. Box 1704, Makawao, Maui, HI 96768-1704 808-572-USUS (8787) nikhilananda@hawaiiantel.net www.nikhilananda.com

COLLEEN HANABUSA: First of all, I have my roots in the Second Congressional District. Also, I believe that if you look at the qualities one needs in Congress, I have those qualities—and you really have to look at our records to determine that. The qualities that I have demonstrated have been independence, the ability to analyze issues, to take difficult positions, and to get bills and legislation passed.

What do you think Hawai`i is lacking most in its representation in Congress?

Right now, Hawai`i is lacking a sense of a team. In the House of Representatives, I get a clear sense that [Neil] Abercrombie and [Ed] Case have cancelled each other out.

When you only have two, you have to have that teamwork.

What accomplishment in your political career are you most proud of?

That would have to be the advancements in education on the Waianae coast, which I represent. We have instilled pride and hope in the next generation—our future leaders—

so that they will become whatever they want to be. And the programs we set up can also be a template for others to follow; it can be copied everywhere.

For example, take the Searider Productions at Waianae High School, by far the best in the state. We took it from almost a closet to a state-of-the-art media center in the last eight years. Our kids are extremely talented; they just need a venue to express their artistic talent.

mind when you think of George W. Bush?

Where would you find funding in the budget for the various social programs you advocate?

[Laughing] Amazed he’s president.

Actually, I’m at a loss for words. “Shouldn’t be president” is maybe the wording I want.

I think the most obvious place where we are spending our money is in the war in Iraq. I have always opposed the war, and I believe we should withdraw by the end of 2007. So yes, one area where I would look at closely to take funding from would be the defense budget.

What’s the most difficult thing you’ve ever had to do?

What are your feelings on Hawaiian sovereignty?

I sat on the Hawaiian Affairs Committee for all eight years I was in the Senate, and for six of those years I chaired it. I am a strong believer that the federal government has to establish a political relationship with Native Hawaiians.

Sovereignty, however, takes on different kinds of meanings to different people. I do not support a position that would include secession from the US, but I do support a process of selfdetermination. For that reason, I supported versions of the Akaka Bill and what it intended to do.

What is the first thing that comes to

Making the decision to run for office that first time. Because of who I am, I knew that it would be a dedication of a lot of my hard work and energy. I believed that if I made that commitment I would have to give my best to my community.

Having made that decision, however, I have enjoyed every moment of it.

What was the last book you read?

Our Endangered Values by President Carter.

What is your favorite thing about Maui?

I love the diversity of Maui. You have Wailuku, Upcountry, Lahaina—Lahaina intrigues me a lot. Even Molokai and Lanai are still part of Maui County. You have every kind of community you could ever want to interact with. And the people of those communities are great, too.

The Fighting Second The baker’s dozen who want Ed Case’s old job

By Anthony Pignataro

T

hirteen people want to replace Ed Case as the Congressional Representative for Hawai`i’s Second District—basically, the whole state except for urban Honolulu. The winner will hold sway over 1/435th of the U.S. House of Representatives, responsible for voting on taxes, Medicare, Social Security, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorism and, naturally, tons of rich and cream pork barrel spending.

It’s a dream race, chock full of lots of solid, progressive choices, a few right-wing Bush apologists and a nutcase or two. Here are my tremendously condensed appreciations of them all, in alphabetical order and titled exactly as they appear on the ballot: AIPOALANI, Hanalei Y. A 27-year-old political neophyte who advocates more affordable housing. He lived in Northern California for the last seven years.

Smart kid, but his only political experience seems to have been the year he spent on the late Congresswoman Patsy Mink’s staff.

GARCIA, Nestor This Honolulu City Councilman is an exKHON-TV news reporter Nestor Garcia who has voted to keep firsttime, non-violent drug users out of prison. (For more on Garcia, see Better Know a Candidate in our June 26, 2006 issue) HANABUSA, Colleen A tough but respected labor attorney, Hanabusa opposes the Patriot Act, War in Iraq and Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act. (For more on Hanabusa, see Better Know a Candidate on page 14 of this issue) HEE, Clayton Hee represented Molokai in the state House in the early 1980s, then in 1984 moved on to a state Senate seat for windward Oahu. He lost his 1988 reelection bid, but won the seat back in 2002. He considers himself a “tough guy,” but also feels the U.S. should get the hell out of Iraq.

HIRONO, Mazie K. A longtime state legislator and Lt. Gov., Hirono has

done to lower ever-rising healthcare costs. (For more on Matsunaga, see Better Know a Candidate in our July 27, 2006 issue)

the greatest name recognition in this race, mostly because in 2002 Linda Lingle trounced her in the governor’s race.

Endorsed by Emily’s List, an extremely influential Political Action Committee dedicated to raising gobs of money for liberal, pro-choice women across the nation, Hirono is a serious contender.

MENOR, Ron A current state Senator and former state Representative, Menor is the father of the state’s abortive experiment with a gasoline price cap. His work in the state Legislature has always tilted towards the consumer, and he thinks No Child Left Behind is dumb.

HOGUE, Bob A Republican state Senator and 7 columnist (he writes about youth sports and Bob Hogue such), Hogue spent a dozen years doing the sports at KHON-TV (see GARCIA, Nestor above). He believes that if the U.S. left Iraq, “the insurgents would be emboldened.”

(For more on Hogue, see Better Know a Candidate in our Aug. 3, 2006 issue) HOOSER, Gary K. A progressive state Senator from Kauai, Hooser has endorsements from Sierra Club Hawai`i and Graham Nash. He wants more attention paid to Hawai`i’s rural and agricultural issues.

SCHATZ, Brian An eight-year veteran of the state House—he first got elected at age 26—Schatz is a former CEO of Helping Hands Hawai`i, one of the state’s biggest non-profit organizations dealing with social services. Earlier this year he tried to get the National Security Agency to detail their spying on Hawai`i residents and would prefer to see U.S. troops leave Iraq.

(For more on Schatz, see Better Know a Candidate in our Aug. 31, 2006 issue) WILCOX, Robert K., IV This is some guy who’s not affiliated with any party and didn’t want to talk to me or any other reporter about his views or candidacy. Probably in the race just to get chicks.

ZUIKER, Joe Zuiker doesn’t like the war in Iraq or money in politics and has spent much of the campaign literally running around the islands. (For more on Zuiker, see Better Know a Candidate in our Aug. 18, 2006 issue) MTW

KAWANANAKOA, Quentin Kuhio A Republican state Representative in the 1990s, Kawananakoa is a also a James M. Campbell Estate beneficiary, which means he’s got a nearly inexhaustible supply of big money to draw on. He’s right wing, but no more so that President George W. Bush.

MATSUNAGA, Matt The son of the late, legendary U.S. Senator Spark Matsunaga, Matt is a liberal, former state Senator who lost his 2002 bid to be Lt. Gov. He wants U.S. troops out of Iraq and more work

ONO KINEGRINDS

Sweet Meat Confessions of a Ruth’s Chris Steak House lover Every town in every state in America has them. And everyone and his or her mother goes to them, often regularly, for one simple reason: consistency. There is great comfort in the fact that the food will taste the same wherever they go.

Ruth’s Chris 900 Front St., Lahaina, 661-8815; 3750 Wailea Alanui Dr., 874-8880. $$ Normally I avoid chain restaurants for that same reason. I want to be surprised—hopefully, pleasantly—by a good meal. I enjoy dining for the experience of it, as much for the food, and I feel that chains lose something in personality, just for the sake of their precious uniformity.

But here’s the part where I eat my words.

Ruth’s Chris makes a damn fine steak. We all know it. Tourists, locals—it makes no difference. It’s in the quality of their meat and the preparation. The finest custom-aged, corn-fed Midwestern beef is broiled to your specification at 1,800 degrees and served sizzling hot with butter on a heated plate. Who would refuse anything served on a heated plate with sizzling butter?

As for that consistency thing, you’ll be happy to know that when you order a medium-rare steak, it does indeed come out medium-rare.

But slow eaters, be warned: your steak will continue cooking on that heated plate if you dilly-dally—which you won’t, because you will want to keep shoveling succulent bites of ten-

der meat into your mouth as you moan with pleasure. Mmm… Another standard of Ruth’s Chris Steak Houses across America—and it’s especially true here on Maui—is their level of service. Every member of the wait staff has been properly schooled on the menu, from knowing the difference between cuts of meat, to which glass or bottle of wine on their impressively extensive wine list will complement your entrée.

Instead of being overly attentive, servers are accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, yet always with a professional countenance. Also, consistently. But let’s get back to the food.

Ruth’s Chris also does a damn fine salad. Their famous original Chop Salad is a favorite amongst my friends and I. Julienne iceberg lettuce, spinach and radicchio are tossed with sliced red onions and mushrooms, chopped green olives, bacon, eggs, hearts of palm, croutons, Bleu Cheese and lemon basil dressing, with cherry tomatoes and crispy fried onions.

Crispy and delicious!

We also tend to go crazy over the Barbequed Shrimp, which are sautéed New Orleans style in reduced white wine, butter, garlic and spices—a sauce that we dip our bread into until the plate is wiped clean. Ruth’s Chris does a rich crabmeat-stuffed mushroom, as well as delectable crab cakes and Veal Osso Buco Ravioli.

Now, Ruth’s Chris’ entrees come a la carte, and believe me, the portions are substantial on their own. But once you get a taste of their roasted garlic mashed or au gratin potatoes, fresh asparagus with Hollandaise, creamed spinach, you’re gonna want to order a

KAMA’AINA

Mmm... dead cow

side or three.

But Ruthie’s—as my friends and I lovingly refer to it—also has a new addition to their menu, called Entrée Complements. Along with your filet, rib eye or veal chop, you can order the Blue Cheese Crust, or Oscar Style with crab cake, asparagus and béarnaise sauce, Lobster Tail or six additional jumbo shrimp.

Did I mention the dining room in every Ruth’s Chris tends to be sexy—

what with their low-lighting, tables and booths in dark mahogany hues and crisp white linens? Okay, sexy in a Republican way, but it’s still pretty sweet.

As for dessert, the Crème Brulee and the Carmelized Banana Cream Pie are to die for, but I simply can’t pass up the more than appropriately named Sin Cake. If it’s wrong to eat this rich espresso and chocolate layered delicacy, then I don’t want to be right. MTW

Master of Puppets Sunday (Sept. 17), 5 & 7:30 p.m. at McCoy Studio Theater [STAGE] Who can forget John Cusack’s lonely, disheveled puppeteer in Being John Malkovich? — Certainly not actual professional puppet masters (though I’m sure they’d like to): who wants to be portrayed as a depressive kook that winds up literally inside the mind of one of Hollyweird’s weirdest? Fortunately, Joseph Cashore, one of the world’s top puppeteers, will be appearing Sunday, September 17 at the MACC’s McCoy Studio Theater, and he seems to have things much more together than Mr. Cusack’s character. Cashore graduated from Notre Dame with a bachelor’s in Fine Arts and has been designing and performing with marionettes for over 30 years. Set to a classical soundtrack of Beethoven, Copland, Strauss, and Vivaldi, Cashore masterfully manipulates the marionettes through a series of emotional vignettes that illuminate the universal themes of the human experience. If Malkovich taught me anything (besides the fact that John Malkovich is slightly eccentric) it’s that in the right hands, marionettes can spring to life with such intricacy and emotion as to appear human. It should be a treat to watch Cashore breathe life into his. Tickets: $28, keiki aged 8-12 half-price.

The McCoy Studio Theater is at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, One Cameron Way, Kahului, 242-7469. [COREY NIELSEN]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Totems, Love Poems and the ‘Untitled’

Chick Corea Friday (Sept. 15), 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater [JAZZ LEGEND] Born as he was at the beginning of World War II and playing the piano by VJ Day, it should come as no surprise that Chick Corea’s first big professional gig as a jazz musician was a duet with Cab Calloway. Six decades and a dozen Grammy awards, Corea is today billed as one of the world’s most prolific composers. He’s played with Stan Getz, recorded with Dizzy Gillespie and accompanied Sarah Vaughn. He was part of Miles Davis’ band in the late 1960’s, when that legend was putting out albums like In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. Since then he’s recorded more albums, formed Stretch Records and won Grammy after Grammy. Interestingly enough, his 2004 album To the Stars, recorded by Corea and his Elektric Band, is based on the works of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. But his upcoming Maui show, in which Corea will appear with vibraphonist Gary Burton as part of the American Jazz Masters Series, will celebrate Crystal Silence, the album both men put out 35 years ago. Tickets: $10, $35, $50; half-price for children under 12. For more information call 242-SHOW. Castle Theater is at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, One Cameron Way, Kahului [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

Tuesday-Sunday (ongoing through Oct. 1), 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at Schaefer Int’l Gallery [ART] Like the Yin and Yang, these two totally different types of art actually complement one another.

Ron Smith’s recent “Untitled” work features two and three dimensional art with bold colors and bright lights, while Stephen Freedman’s “Totems and Love Poems” clay pieces are more earth tone and organic shapes. Both are captivating and make you think. Be there or be cubed. Schaefer Int’l Gallery is at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, One Cameron Way, Kahului. [HEIDI KING]

Weekend Festivals

The Big Oh Wednesday (Sept. 20), 5 & 7:30 p.m. at Castle Theater

Saturday (Sept. 16), island-wide [CULTURAL] Holidays, shmolidays! Who needs ‘em when you can get just as festive at a cultural celebration or two— or like this weekend, at an all-out extravaganza of several festivals at once! First, there’s the Aloha Festivals’ Royal Court investiture and falsetto competition at the RitzCarlton Kapalua (call 268-1789, or visit www.alohafestivals.com). Then there’s also the Maui Pineapple Homecoming and Festival at the Maui Pineapple Co. Cannery in Kahului (call 877-3857 or visit www.mauipineapple.com) where you can celebrate pineapple heritage with free tours, pineapple sampling, food booths, games and live music. And the 7th annual Somos Amigos Festival is happening on Market Street in Wailuku (call 249-2990), celebrating Maui’s Hispanic and Portuguese communities with multi-ethnic entertainment and food. Plus, if you count the “festival” of feet joining for the round of marathons, including Maui Tacos 5K Fun Run, the Front Street Mile Race, the Maui Half Marathon and the big 36th annual 26.2 mile race that is the Maui Marathon (call 871-6441 or visit www.mauimarathon.com), you’ve got way too much to do this weekend to worry about that whole upcoming costume dilemma.

DAY

[FILM] Priscilla is a classic overachiever. Except when it comes to finding the big O. And it’s just about ruined an otherwise “perfect” marriage, driving her husband to question his manhood. Will he find it again in the arms of a hot student he’s teaching? Only time will tell. But as for poor Priscilla, she’ll try just about anything in her quest for personal, uh, fulfillment. Even if it means sliding into the arms of one hairy, fat, short man… yeah, that’s right—Danny DeVito. The Oh! In Ohio is what most mainstream Hollywood comedies aren’t—actually, verifiably funny. And smart. Go see it.

Stars Parker Posey, Paul Rudd, Danny DeVito and Mischa Barton. Rated R/91 min. Preshow music by Voodoo Suns.

Also playing Fri., Sep. 22.

Tickets: $10. The Castle Theater is at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, One Cameron Way, Kahului, 242-7469.

Fire and Ice Opposing elements kill De Palma’s cinematic flower After years of being passed around Hollywood as unfilmable, Josh Friedman’s (War of the Worlds) notoriously faithful screenplay adaptation of James Ellroy’s popular novel The Black Dahlia has made it to the big screen with less than stellar results. In spite of several momentarily propulsive eye-popping set pieces, suspense master Brian De Palma is unable to pry a cohesive movie from Friedman’s abstruse script.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Excessive exposition, subplots, and secondary characters distract from the title story about the barbaric 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, a striving 22-yearold actress at odds with the treacherous streets of Los Angeles. Hillary Swank also degrades the film with a wandering accent that slips from New Orleans to Scotland in her role as Madeleine Linscott, an Elizabeth Short look-alike with a penchant for prostitution even though she is a daughter of privilege.

Famed cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (The Deer Hunter) immediately invigorates De Palma’s visually dense mise en scene with a virtuosic tracking shot of a sidewalk melee between a crew of drunken sailors and Los Angeles locals. A man is thrown through a storefront window as lazy police officers avoid entering into the fray. Boxer-turned-homicide detective Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) single handedly brings order to the violence in a suitcase alley, and solicits the prizefighting support of fellow officer Dwight “Bucky” Bleichert (Josh Hartnett).

The movie gets off to a creeping start

as Lee and Bucky are elected by their police precinct to fight a politically motivated exhibition boxing match. The duo’s boxing nicknames “Fire” (Lee) and “Ice” (Bucky) disguise the ensuing alliance that the two men will share as detective partners and as friends caught in an oddball love triangle at the hand of Lee’s platonic girlfriend Kay Lake (Scarlett Johansson).

An elegant crane shot reveals simultaneous narrative information when a woman discovers the nude corpse of Elizabeth Short in a field a block away from a stakeout that explodes into gunfire for Lee and Bucky. Lee and Bucky hardly miss a beat before joining their fellow officers to take notes about “Betty” Short’s body that has been bludgeoned, severed in the middle, disemboweled, and left with deep cuts on both sides of her mouth.

The partners are assigned to the Dahlia case but are gradually distracted by personal interests. Bucky attempts to reconcile his fetishized interest in Betty Short (Mia Kirshner) after viewing a screen test with the would be actress while Lee becomes obsessed with the impending release of a criminal with ties to Kay. Problematic to the momentum of the Dahlia investigation is the awkward relationship that develops among Lee, Kay, and Bucky. The three dine together every Wednesday night at Lee and Kay’s art deco-appointed house. The trio attends the cinema where Kay always sits in the middle and holds both men’s hands.

Scarlett Johansson is too hesitant with her performance to register Kay as the story’s cunning woman with a painful and sordid past.

An audience for a movie called The Black Dahlia doesn’t care about some half-baked love triangle between detectives. We want to be taken on a filmic investigation of a horrible crime, not be fed piecemeal portions of a novel. David Lynch was smart when he rejected directing The Black Dahlia, but I bet he would have made a better movie than De Palma did. MTW

ART&ENTERTAINMENT

BY HEIDI KING HEIDI@MAUITIME.COM

The Clay Man Curt Stevens knows how to throw down easy,” he says with a chuckle. “You should be worried if your instructor looks like they’re having a tough time.”

There’s no question Stevens knows what he’s doing. You can find his pots, mugs and dishes—all carrying the “Curt Maui” signature on the bottom—at several local galleries. You can sometimes spot Stevens under the Banyan Tree in Lahaina on the weekend or teaching a pottery class for children at the Alternative Learning Center (ALC) through Baldwin High.

Curt Stevens began doing ceramics in high school. It amazed him that, though not much else interested him, this did.

After graduation, he went to Columbia College, a private art school in Chicago before taking, as he put it, “Spring Break in Ft. Lauderdale for eight years.”

Attempts to find the perfect warm climate led Stevens to Honolulu for five years, then to Maui in 1995. It was a 13year lapse in which he wasn’t doing any ceramic work.

But once settled here, Stevens signed up for a pottery class at Maui Community College and the passion was re-ignited. Soon it became common for him to ride his motorcycle from South Maui to MCC cradling

The real action is in Curt Stevens’ garage. Inside is a huge table with freshly made ceramic bowls, rubber cabinets lined with finished and/or drying pieces, boxes of Scotch brand bubble wrap, stacks of rubber crates filled with finished, priced and wrapped pieces for shows and approximately a half ton of clay. Two wheels face each other low to the ground and there is a television with small white spatters.

“I always have the TV going when I’m working in here,” says Stevens.

I sit down at one of the wheels and Stevens helps me throw my first piece of clay. He sits in a chair close to mine, talking me through the process.

I start off trying to make a bowl, but the end result looks more like an ashtray. And he made it look so easy when I’d watched him earlier.

“The instructor should make it look

his helmet in his lap, which was filled with his latest works.

The instructor for his first class at MCC, Jennifer Owen, suggested that he check out Hui No`eau Visual Arts Center in Makawao. He took her suggestion and quickly found he was spending a lot more time creating.

Stevens, his family and his cats live in a modest home near the Wailea fire station.

When Curt moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Honolulu, one of his sisters followed.

Then, when he hopped islands to Maui, she again followed. Later, his mom and other sister found their way here as well.

His mother is a painter. She and Curt are trying to talk his sister into fusing glass. And, of course, Curt is the clay man.

The house is divided up so that everyone has his or her own unit.

Walking over to the lanai, with a view of the ocean over the fence, Stevens shows me five ceramic wheels huddled together.

Near the five wheels are two rubber cabinets, which house a few imperfect pieces he sells at dirt-cheap prices.

This is where he holds workshops.

Normally they only run from January to April because of the summer heat. But this year Stevens is considering doing some short workshops in the winter to teach some crafty gift making.

Back in the garage, I watch Stevens at work. He takes a seat at the wheel facing the television. There is a bowl of water behind the wheel and to the right. On his left is another stool with a bucket for extra clay parts that come off during the cre-

ation process.

Next to the stool, on the floor is a bag of clay. He’s already divided it into smaller, workable balls. I watch intently as Stevens grabs one of the softball sized gray spheres and forms it into an egg shape.

Then he finds the center of the bat—the wooden plate that you put on the wheel as your workspace—and slams the clay down on it. Using a foot pedal, he gets the wheel slowly spinning and pats the clay into a cone shape. With the wheel spinning faster and faster, he uses a sponge to wet his hands and clay. Within minutes, Stevens has centered, pushed, pulled and shaped his clay into a perfect bowl.

During my second try at the wheel, we chat about society, politics and why I have a hangover. But once again, his finished product is a perfect bowl and mine is another ashtray-esque semblance of a bowl. He’s undeterred.

“Ready to do another one?” he asks, somewhat optimistically. “Do you have the time?”

“Of course,” I say. “I mean, uh, if you don’t mind.”

On my third go-around, I actually make a bowl. It’s small, but it’s definitely a bowl.

Curt Stevens can be reached at 205CURT. His works are currently on display and available for purchase at Kuakini Gallery (Kahakuloa), Garden Gallery (at the Botanical Gardens half way to Hana), Maui Hands (Paia, Makawao, Lahaina, Ka`anapali), and under the Banyan tree on Sat. and Sun. MTW

SIGNLANGUAGE VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

I’m sure frustration—sexual or otherwise—is quite a familiar feeling by now. But you’re so good at suppressing it or hiding that you almost don’t notice it anymore. I doubt you’re even consciously aware of all the things that frustrate you—but if you could rid yourself of at least a few of them, you’d feel so free. You can. This week’s a good time to shed layers of aggravation you’ve worn so long they fit you like extra skins. It might be as simple as getting well laid; it could, however, involve something more complicated. You have some idea of what might do the trick, though, don’t you? Give it a go.

WANTED: Interns

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

There are times to bend the rules and times to enforce them. Being flexible is a virtue, not a flaw—until you take it too far. Unfortunately, you Libras can sometimes be a bit too accommodating, particularly when someone with a strong personality (or compelling good looks) is involved. This time, however, the rules actually make sense. Don’t let a pretty face or persuasive charm get the best of you. It’s not about being pettily authoritative. It’s about doing what’s truly best for everyone.

If there’s anyone who despises being cast in the role of performing monkey more than you, I haven’t met them, Scorpio. Yet lately you’ve been continually called upon to deliver amusing anecdotes, satisfying screws, and skilled handiwork on demand, despite your obvious dislike for being put on the spot in such a way. You’ve been gracious and accommodating so far, but that’s got to stop, or the whole pattern will just deteriorate until you sabotage the entire relationship just to escape this one, ultimately correctable flaw. You don’t have to call the shots, necessarily, but you’re allowed to not catch every ball that’s passed to you. Drop a few.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Whether you’re over the hill, under the bridge, around the bend or between a rock and a hard place, one thing’s certain: you’re not staying there. People can say what they will about you Sagittarians and your possible weaknesses, but there’s no question about what you’re good at: moving on. This week you’ll get one exceptional chance to practice that skill, and I suggest you exercise it. This one’s tricky: You’re thigh-deep in the sucking mud of a tenaciously intractable situation. A lesser escape artist would have trouble extricating herself. But you, you have a chance—but just the one.

Don’t let it pass you by.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) The funny thing is that you often come off as the most low-key person in the room, when in reality you’re probably the most driven, passionate, and borderline-obsessive one there. But occasionally those hidden qualities of yours would be a tremendous turn-off (or turn-on) to someone, if only they knew about it. Thus getting to know people (and allowing them to get to know you) can be a disappointing affair. You’ve got to work on your presentation. Don’t drop hints. Just tell it like it is. People will dig the forthrightness, and you’ll avoid some major future disappointments.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’ve just stepped in dog shit. What’s worse is that you’re wearing those shoes with the thick, deeply grooved soles, so the stinky poo has really gotten stuck up in there; no amount of shuffling and curb-scuffing is going to get rid of it. I know this sucks, but it really could be worse. Instead of being aggravated by the unpleasant necessities of life, can’t you embrace them? I’m not suggesting you happily walk around with shit on your shoes (although that’s an option). But while you’re dealing with the mess, can you also try laughing at it?

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) You’re known as the sign who lives in dreams instead of real life. Only the last few weeks, that hasn’t been the least bit true; your mundane existence has eclipsed all but the most superficial aspects of your spiritual world. Well, that certainly can’t continue. I applaud you for taking the time to get your shit together in the real, waking world, but this week it’s important to reconnect with your inner one. However, please don’t drop all the balls you’ve picked up just so you can space out and meditate. The whole point of taking some downtime is so that you can continue successfully doing the juggling song and dance you’ve begun.

It’s not that you’re asking for stuff. It’s what you’re asking for, and from whom, that’s the problem. Your cries of, “Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?” are falling on deaf, uncaring ears.

It’s not that you don’t deserve whatever it is you’re hoping to receive, it’s just that your current strategy for getting it will never, ever work. You might as well throw yourself on the ground like a toddler and throw a tantrum; that’s how effective you are at the moment. Ask for something else. Or ask someone else. Or get it yourself.

Whenever I need to get shit done, I need to take myself away from most, if not all, temptations.

This includes friends and family, television, and any other potential distractions. Because I will never rate something like work as higher than friendship, I need to escape the possibility that the two will come into conflict. You’ve been tackling these kinds of questions for weeks now, but hopefully this week you can finally stop grappling with them. Don’t put yourself in a position to have to make difficult choices this week, not when keeping them from coming up in the first place is so easy.

You can stop praying for alien intervention now. I know, it certainly seems like humanity is on an express train to disaster. But we’re not likely to get saved by anyone but ourselves, certainly not little gray men. However, contemplating the myriad ways we could destroy ourselves isn’t helpful either. You’ll soon be locking yourself in the back of your closet in abject terror. Instead, focus on one. Your job this week is to make the world—in whatever way you can—a slightly safer, more sustainable place.

With next week’s Virgo New Moon, there’s no better time to clean out and reorganize anything and everything that’s in need of editing and restructuring—which is pretty much everything in your life, from your closet to your relationship. Now, this is a potentially monumental task, which is why I’m giving you a week’s notice. Your organization needs organization, or you’ll never get to it all. Make a list, right now, of everything that needs a complete overhaul. Rank them in order of priority. Then gear up to make a huge mess (a logistical necessity, unfortunately) and to clean it all up, way better than it was before.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) If something’s working for you, I suggest sticking to it. This is not advice you’d normally require, but at the moment there’s tremendous pressure on you to change the way you do things. It’s wellintentioned pressure; the idea is that you’ll do them better, faster and so on. But it won’t work. In fact, trying to mix things up right now would be a disaster; nothing would really get done. Even when you finally, in exasperation, went back to the old system, it didn’t work as well as before. So I hope I’ve been crystal clear: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
