LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR JUST TALKING SHIT Thanks for your story about the water quality testing done at Honokowai Channel (“Change the Channel!” Nov. 15, 2007). However, I wasn’t as moved as you were to brand the inconclusive results as “chilling” for several reasons. 1) Many potential pathogens for livestock as well as humans can be found in manure of both livestock and poultry. Ag land plus rain equals pathogens in the runoff. 2) The presence of fecal coliforms does not necessarily indicate the presence of feces. The EPA, being a typical federal bureaucracy is slow to update it’s information resources so please Reference the following: (“Closing the Door on the Fecal Coliform Assay,” Microbe, April 2006). As indicators of fecal contamination, coliform assays are inadequate and unwarranted for several reasons. Coliform bacteria represent only about half of the genera in the family Enterobacteriaceae, and some of the overt pathogens in this family, e.g., salmonellae, are not coliforms. As is true for the entire family, some coliforms grow primarily on green plants and in other environmental niches. I do believe that avoiding the beach after a steady rain is a smart choice. Aside from all of the potential human and animal feces point sources, runoff may also contain chemical fertilizer and pathogens like Listeria which occur naturally in the soil. -Darrel R Smith, Kihei

POWERFUL CORRECTION In Rob Parsons’ article titled “Public (F)utility” (Nov. 15, 2007) there is an incorrect fact. When discussing net-metering programs for Solar PV systems it is stated that, “the program is only available to provide energy credits to those producing five kw or less.” This should actually read 50 kw, quite a significant difference! -Katie Wilson, Operations Director, Hawaii PV Coalition Rob Parsons responds: Mahalo to the Hawaii PV Coalition for catching a mistake in my article. The correct threshold figure for net-metering energy credits should have read 50kw. The incorrect figure came from my notes of the presentation by Public Utilities Commissioner John Cole, who spoke without the benefit of an accompanying Powerpoint. Several Energy Expo presentations have been added to the County website, and may be found at: www.mauicounty.gov/mayor/economic/pdf/EnergyExpo_Proceedings.

READERS JUST DON’T LIKE PALM OIL (Editor’s note: the following letters were written in response to Hawaiian Electric Company official Peter Rosegg’s Nov. 15, 2007 letter, which was written in response to Rob Parsons’ Nov. 1, 2007 story “The Answer, My Friend.”) Cross-examination of experts separates the wheat from the chaff, the truth from the false, the credible from the speculative. Why is Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) so in favor of public relations people writing letters in support of biofuels, but so afraid of cross-examination? The Wall Street Journal notes that Indonesia now ranks third in the world in greenhouse gas emissions, due to deforestation, in order to produce palm oil. The HECO-Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) report states: “palm oil cultivation has also been responsible for widespread clearing of primary tropical forests, draining of peat soils, catastrophic fires in Southeast Asia, and a number of other negative social and environmental impacts... vegetable oils are substitutable with each other.” The world reality is that all palm oil produced is being consumed. If a company insists on buying “sustainable” palm oil, then whoever was buying that now must shift to the bad stuff. The total picture does not change. Life of the Land sponsored Dr Tadeus Patzek, a world-class biofuel expert, at a Public Utilities Commission Evidentiary Hearing in December 2006. HECO sponsored no biofuel witnesses and refused to cross-examine ours. The Public Utilities Commission ruled in favor of biofuels. Now HECO has submitted a biofuels contract to the PUC with 89 redactions. We filed to intervene. HECO opposes our intervention on the grounds that we a party in the last docket. Maui Electric Company opposed our intervention in their planning docket on the grounds that we wanted to discuss biofuels and climate change. Peter Rosegg touts Imperium Renewables’ commitment to use local feedstock. At the Board of Land and Natural Resources meeting on Nov. 16, Imperium committed to a “commercially reasonable best effort” to use 10 percent local feedstock in years 10-35 of a 35-year contract. Imperium stressed that it had to be a goal, since anything else would interfere with their ability to raise funds to pay for this proposed plant. -Henry Curtis, Executive Director, Life of the Land Peter Rosegg in his letter titled “What A Fuel” offered us the option to judge for ourselves whether or not Blue Earth Biofuels would be using a feedstock of palm oil that meets strict environmental/labor practices. I did—thank you for the suggestion. What I

LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR found is that what Rosegg suggests is possible, is in fact, NOT possible. Rosegg states that NRDC supports his claim that finding enough “sustainable” palm oil feedstock is possible. Yet it seems that contradicts NRDC’s very own claims about the use of palm oil, especially in the quantity that Blue Earth will require. NRDC’s own Nathaniel Greene states in an Oct. 1 article that, “the demand for palm oil for biodiesel is contributing to the destruction of some of the world’s most precious rain forests.” It seems that NRDC knows it is not possible, but is willing to participate in some sort of oversight capacity with Blue Earth... for some strange reason. Either NRDC’s participation is being exaggerated by BlueEarth, or NRDC has contradicted their own mission statement, which is “to safeguard the Earth; its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends” because there is not one environmental group that does not agree that the idea of palm oil for fuel is disastrous to the planet. Rosegg states that they “hope that a good part of the biodiesel feedstock is eventually grown in Hawaii.” Uh-huh, and if you buy that, too, I have some property to sell you. Instead of funding this outrageous bond for an already obsolete BlueEarth/HECO model, we should use the one we already have in place on island, which leaves the dollars here, creates jobs, and is sustainable. That is the model of community-stocked, produced and distributed biodiesel that Pacific Biodiesel started more than 10 years ago, and is being used as the model for intelligent growth all over the country. This is the model that enriches communities, not the pockets of the chosen few at our expense. -Annie Nelson, via email

Hawaiian Electric Co says they’ve worked with the “respected” Natural Resources Defense Council to implement their standards. NRDC is not “respected” and is under fire from the Sierra Club and various European organizations. Yes, a few older palm oil plantations exist. But if we buy from them (thus increasing demand) it simply dis-

places the company who used to buy from them to slash and burn new plantations. We have seen how other “sustainable palm oil” accrediting agencies such as Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) have members who are accused of burning rainforest, stealing land from indigenous people and violating environmental laws— completely contradicting the certification rules to which they claim to adhere. The largest grower/shipper in the world, The Wilmar Group, shipping one third of the world’s palm oil supply, is currently under fire for being “certified sustainable” and yet indulging in all of these damaging practices. Most likely we on Maui will become party to their terrible acts if BlueEarth and Imperium biodiesel plants are built. No doubt we’ll be buying from Wilmar. HECO is focusing on burning liquid fuel because it gives them a higher profit. The truly renewable alternatives (which are available and proven right now) have an initial capital cost but no ongoing fuel cost. So they keep our rates low. This is bad for HECO because their profit is tied to a percentage of cost. Keeping our rates low using truly sustainable generation is not an advantage to them. -Karen Chun, Paia

NAMED MAUI’S BEST ADULT STORE

We wanted to send out a special thanks to the jerks that ripped off my shop a few weeks ago. What you probably don’t realize—assuming that you even care—is that we make every single piece of jewelry we sell. You stole a little bit of our souls that night. What you also probably don’t realize is that those pieces you ripped off are all one of a kind and totally recognizable, so everyone will know where you got them if you start showing them off around town. Oh, and we also videotaped you on the night of the heist. The police know what you look like and are already searching for you. So please do yourselves a favor and return the jewelry. We’ll drop the charges if you do. If it’s money you need, then do what we did and go get a job. We work seven days a week, but I suppose you don’t have to do that.

‘He Really Screwed Us Over’ Mystic Roots learns about Liquids the hard way When The Mystic Roots Band flew from San Diego to grace the stage of Liquids Nightclub in Kihei on Nov. 14, they couldn’t have imagined what awaited them. Five days later they left Maui without the money they’d been promised and $1,000 in the hole. Liquids owner Oliver Lum had disappeared with their cash. The band performed just four nights after the now-infamous Mos Def debacle, which had a chilling effect on Mystic Roots’ ticket sales. After their performance, Lum said he wasn’t able to make enough money to cover the band’s performance fee. Mystic Roots agreed to give Lum until the next day to get the rest of the money. But the next morning band member Coot Wyman’s calls to Lum went unanswered. “He really screwed us over pretty bad,” Wyman said 11 days after the show. “He still won’t answer our calls.” According to Wyman, the contract between Mystic Roots and Liquids stipulated that Lum would cover inter-island travel expenses and Maui accommodations for the band’s fourisland tour, along with a standard performance fee. When Wyman was asked to provide a credit card at the hotel to cover incidentals he thought nothing of it. “Oliver told me that he would go down and take care of it before we left,” Wyman said. “But then we didn’t hear from him for five days.” When the band checked out, the hotel charged the only card they had on file: Wyman’s. The $1,000 charge came the same day his rent was due. Overdraft fees started piling up. Then his rent check bounced. “I could understand if the guy was struggling,” Wyman said. “He just started the club. But for me to have to pay for the [hotel] rooms—that’s just ridiculous.” On the fifth day Wyman dialed *67 to block his number from showing up on Lum’s phone. To Wyman’s surprise, Lum picked up. “He said he had been in a severe car accident,” Wyman said. That was the reason he hadn’t answered the phone earlier. Maui Memorial Medical Center has no record of Lum as a recent patient. Kaiser declined to verify if he was receiving care, citing privacy concerns. Wyman was skeptical an accident had ever taken place. Calls to Lum’s phone, which was

recently reconnected, have gone unanswered. Attempts to locate Ryan Fukushima, Lum’s business partner, have proved fruitless. Calls to the Liquids phone number still get a voicemail message regarding the still-pending Mos Def refunds. “It really left a bad taste in our mouths,” Wyman said. In the little more than six months since the club opened its doors, Liquids has managed to burn quite a few bridges. Many are still fuming over the Mos Def show that never happened. In fact, ticket-buyers to that show are still waiting for their promised refunds. After a few hours of waiting that night, someone announced that Mos Def would not perform. Customers were then asked to line up and write their names and phone numbers in a spiral bound notebook. The refunds were on their way, they were told, they would be called in a few days. That was nearly a month ago. In the meantime, local publications— including this one—now refuse to publicize Liquids shows. Several blogs are call-

ing for a boycott of the club. According to an official with the county Department of Liquor Control who asked for anonymity, the agency “does not regulate those sorts of things.” Similarly, Kihei

police Captain Milton Matsuoka called the affair “a civil matter.” But he also encouraged people to call and file complaints since there’s a chance it could turn into a criminal matter. MTW

FINE QUESTION!

Quickie updates on three Maui issues

And now for another installment in the endlessly entertaining game of Ask LC Watch! This week’s question comes to us from someone named Jill, who posted it at Mauitime.com on Nov. 9.

Photo: Rob Parsons

Since our modern era caters to shorter attention spans, here’s a pre-holidayseason update of late-breaking developments (oops, sorry to use that word) on some key local issues:

Wailea 670 Don’t call it Honua‘ula, no matter how the offshore developers may want to package this mega-development. That’s what Uncle Ed Lindsey of Maui Cultural Lands reminded the community a few months ago. Honua‘ula was the name given to the entire region, stretching from Palauea to Keoneo‘i‘o, and from Ulupalakua to Kaho‘olawe. “Anyone rightfully using the name Honua’ula should honor our ancestors and protect our history and legacy at all costs,” Lindsey, a long-time Maui Tomorrow board member, said. “A place calling itself Honua‘ula should prominently showcase Hawaiian culture. It should respect, value and protect all parts of that culture in their natural state—the land forms, the plants and the remains of Hawaiian cultural sites.” Yet, review of revised cultural and botanical surveys was just one of several important points that the majority of County Council members punted away last week when Mike Molina’s Land Use Committee finally passed Wailea 670’s rezoning request for 1,400 housing units and a private golf course. Six County Council members agreed on about 30 conditions that developers would need to follow, but tough questions about water, traffic, clear titles, sewage treatment, affordable housing, best protection for traditional access, native plants and cultural sites were not fully answered. Indeed, any project requiring that many conditions to bring it closer to compliance with legal requirements and community needs may have been fatally flawed from the start. Council members Michelle Anderson, Jo Anne Johnson and Riki Hokama may be expected to continue to ask tough questions as the full County Council debates the first and second reading of the bill, with more opportunities for public testimony. It seems Hokama, serving his fifth and final consecutive term as Lanai’s council representative, has recently begun vocalizing his displeasure with off-island investors—in this case, Cargill, Shearson-Lehman, D.E. Shaw Group and others—planning Maui County’s future. Without rezoning, Wailea 670’s international investors have approvals to build two golf courses and a park on

NOVEMBER 29, 2007

LC Watch “I was just curious as to where the money from these fines goes,” Jill wrote. “Does it go towards a worthy cause, or into the pockets of our trusty LC officers? $2,000 here, $4,000 there... that’s kind of a lot of money.”

Tough building

their lands. Period. The Kihei-Makena community Plan is clear: the council does not owe the investors any entitlements unless the “necessary infrastructure and services are available.” New council members Gladys Baisa, Bill Medeiros and Mike Victorino may not fully understand that they have every right to demand more from large developments before signing off to a 20-year build-out plan. Councilmember Anderson continually called for more information to what she deemed an incomplete zoning application and a 20-year old Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). But Planning Department staff refuted this, and often looked more like developer’s representatives than overseers of our zoning ordinances and community plans. “It will be the demise of South Maui,” a friend recently told me if Wailea 670 passes. I wonder if it may also be the demise of the council terms of those who vote to approve it. Of course, that would require people to show up on election day. Are you registered to vote? Lingle’s Super Folly We have a new law permitting “large capacity ferry vessels” to operate while an EIS is being prepared. Woo-hoo! Can somebody give Governor Linda Lingle and our legislators a high-five? State Attorney General Mark Bennett, under Lingle’s command, crafted a state statute that “fixes” that inconvenient detail in our environmental laws calling for the $300 million Hawai‘i Superferry Project to do their EIS before beginning inter-island ferry service. Maui’s Judge Joseph Cardoza, who ruled in late August that the Superferry could not sail until they prepared an environmental study, had little choice but to lift his injunction in light of this “new law.” John Garibaldi, Superferry CEO, calls

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

this a “new beginning” and plans to set sail between Oahu and Maui on Thursday, Dec. 6 with reduced rates. But wait: Aren’t their tariffs set by the Public Utilities Commission? True, and they were fined by the PUC for jumping the gun with $5 fares back in August. Not that the amount of the fine would get in the way of their 350-foot, 40-knot vessel. The unlikelihood of Superferry ever making money in Hawai‘i was discussed in this space a few months ago (“Do the Math: So much about Hawai‘i Superferry doesn’t add up,” Aug. 30, 2007). With rising oil prices, their diesel-guzzling engines (6,000 gallons per one-way trip from Oahu to Maui) will surely result in ever climbing fuel surcharges. Garabaldi said his company needs both the Kauai and Maui routes to be economically successful. But no service date has been scheduled for Kauai, which is vying with Molokai for the moniker of “The Protest Isle.” Superferry officials claim they are conducting, “community outreach” on Kauai to smooth their return visit. But Kauai residents refute that, saying the company hasn’t contacted them. Several organizations drafted and signed a letter to Superferry asking them to stay away until an EIS is completed. So while the impediment of a clunky environmental law may have been overcome by Lingle, the ill-will persists, created by see ISSUES, page 11

Thanks for your question, Jill—if that is your real name. Yes, every time the Liquor Control Board of Adjudication fines an establishment for over-service, serving a minor or even just being open after 2 a.m., the money goes into the LC’s coffers. But what’s interesting about this is that we’re not really talking about a lot of money—at least, this year. According to the Maui County Department of Liquor Control’s 2007 Annual Report, which came out a few weeks ago, the LC levied $36,800 in fines last year, which is the lowest annual total in the last four years, since I started covering the LC. In fiscal year 2006, the LC slapped down $40,150 in fines, which is more but paled before the 2005 total of $149,800 ($50,000 of that was incurred by the Hyatt during that celebrated case of repeated over-serving minors which led to the death of an 18-year-old cheerleader, but it’s still a lot of money). In 2004, the LC took in $64,700. Of course, most of the LC’s annual take comes from license fees: $1,048,946.15 last year, which makes the adjudication fines look like couch change. But like the fines, the license fee figure is low when compared to previous years. In 2005, which was apparently a banner year for booze, the LC took in an astonishing $2.1 million in fees.

WEINBERG NEAR TOP! Every once in a while I look over The Maui 10 and see that the Weinberg Foundation is still on the list. And then I smile. I smile because I can’t remember for the life of me why I put them on the list in the first place. Weinberg Foundation? What have they done lately, besides own that giant vacant lot in Lahaina near the Cannery Mall where the drug addicts and bike thieves like to live? Well, here’s the answer: the November issue of the magazine Hawaii Business has their annual Top 20 Wealthiest Landowners in the state, and once again, Weinberg made the top five. In fact, they’re ranked number five, with holdings totaling 2,397 acres valued at nearly $1.2 billion. Most of their land and stuff is on Oahu, but on Maui they own the Lahaina Shopping Center, the Lahaina Center and the Kahului Industrial park. Oh, and that vacant lot.

GOODFELLOW REQUIRES PATIENCE The goal, motorists stuck in traffic on either Piìlani Highway headed to South Kihei Road or Mokulele Highway on their way to Piìlani Highway should remember, is an easier drive for all into Kihei. Of course, it’s hard to believe that considering that Goodfellow Brothers recently switched that whole Mokulele-Piìlani intersection around. “Thank you also to each driver for your patience and understanding as we construct these improvements,” Chad Goodfellow wrote in a Maui News letter on Nov. 11. Residents at Kihei Villages—which borders Uwapo Road, which now receives a great deal more traffic than before the intersection alteration—received notices that construction should take about three months. Of course, Goodfellow has told The Maui News that the Mokulele work should be done by July 2008, which is eight months from now. MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

THURSDAY, Nov. 22 Okay, it’s time for me to be petty. The cover of today’s Maui Scene—published by The Maui News every Thursday—says the issue contains an “exclusive” interview with musician/activist/biofuel booster Willie Nelson. Indeed! Well, the Scene piece is exclusive—except for the fact that yesterday we published a story based on our own interview with Nelson. What’s next? An “exclusive” interview with some guy who happened to be on the street when they drove by? Look, the Maui Scene story is basically decent, though it is much longer than our piece. But it does contain virtually the same excerpt from Nelson’s new song “Peaceful Solution.” What’s more, our story—written by Associate Editor Starr Begley and titled “American Icon, Maui Style,” included Nelson’s ruminations on the field of bathroom acoustics! Now that’s an exclusive to be proud of!

Exclusive!

Well, Charlie Jencks finally got his Wailea 670 project passed out of the county Land Use Committee. All those years of bitching, moaning, crying, whining, letter-to-the-editor writing, public speaking and making big campaign contributions has finally paid off. Sure, the committee dropped a few “conditions” on Jencks’ bid to build 1,400 housing units—only half of which will be million-dollar mansions!—commercial center and private golf course in South Maui, but the overall approval of the project was never in doubt (Council Chair Riki Hokama’s no vote—for the simple reason that we ought not to be approving such a big project when island water use is so precarious— was kind of a shocker, though). Of course, Jencks and Honua`ula Partners LLC still need to get Maui County Council approval, which is at least a month away. But considering that the Land Use Committee and County Council have identical memberships, the Wailea 670 vote probably won’t be the most contentious issue we’ve seen this year.

And in the Here We Go Again department, the Pacific Business News reported yesterday that something that calls itself the Maui Health Care Initiative Task Force wants a $70 million hospital in West Maui. While this is nothing like the monster Malulani Heath Care Center South Maui residents wanted a few months ago—the West Maui hospital would have just 25 acute-care, long-term and assisted living beds—it will have to jump through the same certificate of need hoops set up by the state Health, Planning and Development Agency that doomed the old Malulani proposal. So here’s looking at another six months of drawn-out, hearings packed with understandably worried residents!

SUNDAY, Nov. 25 With the price of crude oil edging ever so closer to the magic number of $100 a barrel (I think that’s one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but don’t quote me on it) and local gas prices topping $3.60 a gallon, I guess it’s as good a time as any for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin to assess the effectiveness of the state Legislature’s new gasoline price trans-

parency law. I’m sorry—“effectiveness” is the wrong word. I should have written “ineffectiveness.” “I don’t think that the implementation of the law by the [Public Utilities Commission] PUC is providing the kind of transparency that we need to be able to determine all of the factors that are contributing to Hawaii’s high gas prices,” state Senate Energy Chairman Ron Menor (D, 17th District) said in today’s Star-Bulletin. See, the problem is that while the big oil companies and refiners are filing weekly reports with the PUC, they contain so much “confidential, competitive information” that the PUC won’t release anything meaningful to us consumers. Yeahhhh… just what did the PUC think was going to be in those reports? See, the whole idea behind the law was that the companies would tell us how they come up with prices for gasoline, but the companies consider the way in which they come up with prices for gasoline to be proprietary information—which means consumers can’t see any of it. Of course, none of this would happen if this state had a PUC that saw the word “Public” as referring to consumers instead of oil companies (or a system of infrastructure based on internal combustion engines, but that’s another rant entirely).

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Oh no! The Honolulu Advertiser is reporting today that Judge Joel August has reversed himself on potential Hawaiì Superferry traffic, so tomorrow state Department of Transportation guys will be out “restriping” the Puùnene-Kaàhumanu intersection in Kahului. Actually, that should read “re-restriping,” since those guys already “restriped” the intersection back in August. As if we needed more proof

that no one in state government really knows what they’re doing where the Superferry is concerned. Of course, the real victim here is Cary & Eddies Hideaway. As it stands now, those who aren’t familiar with the lanes traveling on Pu‘unene towards the ocean run a risk of missing the turn onto Ka‘ahumanu and getting forced to stay on Pu‘unene as it dead-ends at… Cary & Eddies. Think of all the new business they’re getting from people who ordinarily would never see the place! Now that’s going to end because Judge August ruled the traffic lanes must go back to the way they used to be. The Superferry hasn’t even begun sailing, and she’s already wrecking havoc.

TUESDAY, Nov. 27 By the way, just so we’re on the same page: this weekend The New York Times reported that even though the Bush Administration is “elated” over the recent decrease in violence in Iraq, his administration has vastly scaled back what it expects of the troubled Iraqi government. I kid you not, the Bush Administration has gone from asking the government to restraining secular death squads, sharing oil revenues throughout the country and ending corruption to getting them to “execute their budget.” That’s what our mighty Surge and all the killing and the thousands of dead American soldiers and the tens of thousands of dead Iraqis is all about, kids! Getting the Iraqi government—which, let’s not kid ourselves, actually serves at our behest—to pass a budget! And if they don’t pass the budget? Can we go home then? Anthony Pignataro really wants to help that nice Nigerian prince who emailed him the other day. MTW

the top-down edict decreeing that the ferry will sail no matter what. It’s no wonder the Superferry is listing, taking on water like the Canadian cruise ship that hit the Antarctic iceberg. Whether Superferry’s arrival at Kahului Harbor will be met with a red carpet or protest signs remains to be seen. Maybe there really are a number of people waiting to ride the ferry, seduced by promises of cheaper travel, complete with great views and cocktails. Just don’t forget the Dramamine. Montana Beach Please don’t call it Montana Beach, Baldwin Beach or Lime Kiln Beach. The proper Hawaiian place name is Kapuka‘ulua. Get used to it. The council’s Policy Committee in executive session last week heard a proposal to settle lawsuits on the third lot of the long-disputed beachfront parcel near Paia on Maui’s North shore. Acquiring the middle lot could help make sense of the County’s previous acquisitions of the other two bookend lots. That’s the good news—public usage trumping privatization of our coastal resources. But The Maui News also reported that the Mayor’s Office is “studying how to demolish” the luxury home that was built on one of the lots. It further stated that “A staffer has been assigned to form a task force to devise a request for a proposal to remove the structure from the site that is intended to be a beach park.” A task force? Now, there’s some outside the box thinking. Pick me, pick me! Seriously: I’m qualified and know a lot about the house. I spent much of last year as Mayor Alan Arakawa’s Environmental Coordinator, garnering support for the idea of adapting the existing structure as the Maui County Environmental Resource Center. We developed plans, discussed obstacles and, with volun-

teers, helped tend the house and yard on several Kokua Clean Up days. More than 30 written testimonies were delivered to the County Council. Only three council members accepted invitations to view the house and property: Anderson, Johnson and Bob Carroll, though he was only able to see the ground floor, since the property is not Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. So I conducted a cursory analysis of making ADA improvements. Alas, the environmental center proposal did not win council approval, as the past transgressions of bungled permit waivers and approvals overshadowed the potential to do something unique and beneficial. But wait! If the Tavares Administration wants to demolish something, I have just the thing! It’s understood that seawalls may protect a shoreline, but often at the expense of adjacent beaches. The rock revetment that once fronted Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar’s Lime Kiln building is a primary cause of seasonal erosion fronting the luxury home, which now has windows and doors plyboarded shut, as if a Category Five hurricane were heading our way (but that security measure, requiring as many as three dozen wood screws per panel, screwed into the fine hardwood exterior and front door, did not deter thieves from removing every copper lighting fixture from the house). If the county wants to see a beach park in that locale, it’s the rocks that should go. Severe erosion over the past few years has toppled decades-old trees and nearly undermined the beach park rest rooms. Furthermore, HC&S and parent company Alexander & Baldwin have a kuleana to remove the rocks and protect the beach, after mining thousands of tons of sand there over much of the last century. Decisions regarding the fate of the third lot, the county-owned house and the rock revetment aren’t likely to happen anytime soon. That’s just the way government works—and it should give citizens time to let our decision makers know what we think is best for this unique beachfront site. MTW

WHAT A TROOPER

In interviews with reporters from McClatchy Newspapers in October, cemetery workers in Najaf, Iraq, lamented the recent downturn in violence in that city, as they admitted having grown accustomed to the income from the estimated 6,500 caskets a month that they serviced. The number had fallen to less than 4,000 a month, and others dependent on the death industry around Najaf were said to be similarly suffering.

Monsignor Tommaso Stenico, an official with the Vatican’s Congregation for the Clergy, was suspended in October when he was recognized in a hidden-camera TV documentary about gay priests. However, he told the La Repubblica newspaper in Rome a few days later that he is not gay, but was only pretending to make sexual advances to a man in order to gain the trust of “those who damage the image of the Church with homosexual activity.”

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND Tajuan Bullock, 33, was allegedly caught in the act of burglarizing a home in Montgomery, Ala., in October. While the resident held him at gunpoint for police, Bullock had to clean up the mess he had made when he was rummaging for valuables. And police in Bakersfield, Calif., came to the aid of a man and a woman at the bottom of the Panorama Bluffs near town and told reporters later that the man had attempted to toss his girlfriend over the cliff but that she grabbed him, and the pair tumbled down 300 feet together (he was hurt worse than she).

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS Anthony Azzapardi, 80, agreed in September in Bridgeport, Conn., to plead guilty in connection with a sexual encounter with a five-year-old girl. Until recently, his story was that the girl had aggressively led him by the hand into the bedroom, pushed him down on the bed, and sexually assaulted him.

THE GREAT TEXAS OUTDOORS In August, entomologists found a spider web in a state park about 45 miles east of Dallas that covered trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch. The original white web had turned brownish because “millions” of mosquitoes had been trapped in it. And in September, wildlife experts tried to assure the public that the jellylike blobs (“millions of tiny organisms known as zooids,” wrote The Dallas Morning News) attached to trees and dock pilings along Grapevine Lake between Dallas and Fort Worth were harmless.

THE POOR DEAR! A federal magistrate in Tampa, Fla., ordered a doctor’s appointment in October for the incarcerated Brian Wilcox, who is being detained on several child pornography charges. He said that his back hurt from a four-year-old injury; that he has problems with his eyes; that his feet and groin area are numb; that there is a bulge on the left side of his groin; that he is worried about a mole on his nose because of his family history of cancer; that all of his remaining 16 teeth are either decaying or cracking (keeping him from eating, causing him to lose 40 pounds); and that he has “severe flatulence at all times.” MTW

t’s a lazy Saturday afternoon and John Cruz and I are at the Randy J. Braun Gallery on Makawao Avenue. Surrounded by Braun’s Paniolo images, we start discussing the politics of chicken fighting. “I just got this three disk [DVD] set from my friend,” Cruz says. “It’s this huge derby in the Philippines. It’s like the Superbowl.” The ice has broken between us. Suddenly, finally, we’re no longer the pen holding reporter and the musician, but two Hawai‘i-raised people gossiping like schoolgirls about breeding and raising chickens, tying knives and pesky neighbors who knock on your door asking you to sign a petition telling another neighbor that they need to get rid of their birds or move. “Yeah, they get pissed off,” Cruz says. “The problem is that they come here for paradise but they want their paradise, not ours. They want to change things to make it fit them. It’s fucked up.” I ask Cruz if he ever delved into the rodeo scene like his well-known country singing father, Ernie Cruz Sr. He says no, that the boots and spur’s scene was not his thing, though he admitted to going to a couple

brandings. But it was the chicken fights, and not the rodeo, that had held his interest in his younger years. When we met on the porch of Casanova, my first impression of Cruz was not one of warmth or gushy Aloha spirit. He was direct and maybe even a little abrasive, but I liked him right away. It helps that he’s tall, dark and handsome, though not in the classical sense. His movements are almost feline. Though personable and charming, every now and then something feral would pass through his eyes as he spoke. Cruz is a poi dog–a quarter Hawaiian, Japanese, Chamorro and Caucasian. His dark curly hair, which I imagine can become rather unruly, is tied back into a ponytail. His complexion is rough and he has wide set half-moon shaped eyes. His nose is my favorite of his features because it’s so typically Hapa-Hawaiian: broad and proud with sharp Greco-Roman angles. Despite the underlying darkness, he exudes a charisma about him that people can’t help but respond to–especially women. People tend to look at him a little too long, and the women smile just a little

too bright. Hawai‘i first fell in love with Cruz a decade ago when he recorded the modern Hawaiian anthems like “Shine On” and “Island Style” on his immensely popular album Acoustic Soul that has since sold more than 100,000 copies. Acoustic Soul was nominated for seven Na Hoku Hanohano awards and won two–one for Contemporary Album of the Year and another for Most Promising Artist. Back in the day, I loved that album and I have many–albeit foggy–memories of riding shotgun in a big Chevy truck while “Island Style” seeped through the speakers. But, 10 years is a long time for fans to wait for a sophomore album. In fact, after listening to his new release One of These Days I didn’t put two and two together until I checked out his web site and was like, “Oh my God, it’s the ‘Shine On’ guy!” Cruz is staying at a B&B up the road— “just relaxing” the week before his two-night Maui show at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. We decide to take our caffeine to go and wander around Makawao, which just happens to be my old stomping ground.

Oddly enough, the height of Cruz’s fame coincides almost perfectly with the time that I would spend my days and nights wandering the town. It was a dark time in my life, filled with stumbling blocks and mistakes. Over the past decade, so much has changed. Walking down Baldwin Avenue toward the Makawao Courtyard, we pass an old friend of mine who never escaped the life of a street kid (even though he is now in his 30’s) and has been ravaged by drug use. “Back in the day, when I hung out here things were so different,” I tell Cruz. I point out places where you could just sit back and smoke a joint or have a beer in the middle of the day with little to worry about. “Back then, the biggest thing was pot and everyone was young and healthy,” I say. “Now it’s ice. It’s destroyed so many people that I was close to.” Cruz, who has battled the demons of addiction himself, nodded. “The war on drugs really fucked us,” he says. “You take a culture that’s used to smoking something and then you take it away. They’re going to smoke something else. I know people say it’s bullshit, but it’s true. Culturally, people here are used to smoking. If it’s not paka, it’s going to be something else.” He reminisces about growing up on Oahu during a time when even “little old Japanese couples who grew antheriums had a few paka plants on the side for extra money. “Paka might make you a little lazy, but it’s nothing compared to the paranoid feelings you’re going to get from coke or crack,” he says. He stubs out his Marlboro Medium, sticks the butt in his pocket and we head into Viewpoints Gallery. While looking at the art, he says, “You know, it’s not just the financial strain that Hawai‘i families have–local people can’t afford to buy homes anymore. We have the strain that these drugs put on our community, too.” We agree that it’s a lot for a family to be up against. It’s not until I was researching his life later that night that I realized Cruz was speaking about the hardships facing local families from first-hand experience. In Made of Music, the 2006 documentary on his life, Cruz discusses the painful topic of losing custody of his children after years of drug abuse (Cruz won a Hawaiian Grammy in 2005 for the compilation album Slack Key Guitar Volume 2, which featured his song “Jo Bo’s Night,” which he named for his son). According to Cruz’s publicist, the custody matter remains “sticky” and unresolved. The conversation lightens up when I ask about his involvement with the Ka‘au Crater Boys–Troy Fernandez and Ernie Cruz Jr. “It’s kind of funny,” he says. “It was me and Troy that used to hang out as

years in theater and dance companies. He took roles ranging from a Hispanic hustler to an embittered Native American with an alcohol addiction. His performances gained him national recognition as a member of the New World Theater. When I ask if theater is something that he would like to get back into in the future, his response is an enthusiastic “Oh, yeah.” As we pass by Rodeo General Store, Cruz stops to look at the many concert photos lining the store’s doors. “I know him,” he says, pointing to his own poster, then quickly taps the poster next to his. “Badi Assad,” he says. “I heard she’s unbelievable. Oh, she’s here a day after me.” He nods as he examines each and every poster on the door. “I’m related to him,” he says when he gets to the Barefoot Natives. Willie K? Cruz shakes his head. “No, Eric Gilliom,” he says. “We’re cousins.” Later, as we head to Supernatural, which stands where the old Miracles Bookery used to be, Cruz tells me that, “Maui gets all the good concerts. You have the MACC. In Oahu we don’t have any good venues. It sucks. A lot of groups will just bypass Oahu all together.” In Hot Island Glass, I finally ask about One of These Days. My apprehension stems from the very first question I asked Cruz before leaving Casanova’s parking lot: “Do you ever get sick of talking about your music?” “Not if it’s an intelligent conversation,” he said. The response had terrified me because I didn’t honestly feel I could contribute anything interesting, let alone intelligent, on a subject that is still rather foreign to me. But by the time we got to Hot Island Glass, I’d felt so comfortable with him that I took the risk. Cruz says the response he’s gotten so far has been very positive by people who know the industry. The CD debuted at number six on the Billboard World Chart and hit number two on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. One of These Days also landed at number one on the Borders Hawaiian Top Ten and is already a bestseller in local stores. And Cruz is on the Grammy ballot in two categories that will determine the final nominations in December. The album, despite great variety, is meticulously arranged. There’s the funky “If That’s the Way She wants it” and the gorgeous poetic sound of the Hawaiian language in “Hi‘ilawe.” I start to ask why it’s taken one of Hawai‘i’s most talented and promising musicians 10 years to put out a second album, but then reconsider. How could a person—Cruz or anyone else, for that matter—explain an entire decade of life? The long-awaited return of John Cruz, that was promised to happen “one of these days,” has finally happened. It was worth the wait. MTW

Ace in the Hole Charley’s ups the ante, yet still retains a saloon-like ambiance Many years ago, I had a real estate license and a little office at Steven’s Realty in Paia upstairs in the building next to where Jacques is today. I spent many evenings downing beer and pizza at Charley’s while trying to conjure up ways to move enough property to buy some of my own.

It didn’t work. I never sold a damn thing, mostly because I suck at selling and probably like pizza and beer a little too much. Eventually, my license expired and I moved on from Paia to different areas of the island for other random working adventures. I didn’t miss the grind of showing property, but I sure missed Charley’s. The other night, my family and I headed to Charley’s for a last minute dinner. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but the food, service and overall ambiance was

even better than I had remembered. We sat in the bar area in a big wraparound booth because it’s comfy and serves as a great containment device for a raging two-year old. It was only about seven, but the place was starting to heat up. There was a large group of local guys having beers while watching mixed martial arts on the big screen TV, several couples that appeared to be tourists enjoying dinner and a slew of regulars at the bar. All the Willie Nelson paraphernalia that I remember from back in the day still lined the walls. There’s also a new ginormous ukulele or guitar (I couldn’t really tell) that was about seven feet tall near the swinging saloon style doors. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with chicken and the hubby ordered “The Works” burger with fries and a bowl of clam chowder. We were both pleasantly surprised when the soup and salad came out almost immediately. I had

requested papaya seed dressing with my salad and was blown away when I tasted it—it was actually real papaya seed dressing, made from scratch, and not the runny stuff from the bottle. While waiting for our meal, the hubby and I chatted with Mikhail Tassi, the Bar and Promotions Manager, about the recent surge of late-night activity in Paia. Charley’s has brought a lot of really cool shows to the area and regularly features some of the best musicians that Maui offers. A perfect example of this is Willie K, who “owns” Monday nights at the restaurant. The food came right on time, and my fettuccine was awesome. I’m a sucker for heavy cream sauces, and Charley’s hit it perfectly. It was fresh and creamy but not overly buttery like other places make it. The plate was huge, and even though I was famished when I dove into it, I wasn’t able to finish. The hubby snarfed down his burger like it was going to get up and run away

from him. There’s a ton of burger additions to choose from including avocado, Gorgonzola cheese, cheddar, Swiss, jalapeno jack, jalapenos, mushrooms, bacon and sautéed onions. All burgers are made with Maui Cattle Company beef and are topped with onion, tomato and lettuce. Charley’s also offers fresh fish, calzones, killer pizza, huge salads (try the gorgonzola with spinach, cranberries, walnuts and croutons), steak, meatloaf and lots of yummy pupus. Seriously, there’s something for just about every appetite, and you’ll be surprised at the quality of the food that you can get in a down-home saloon-like atmosphere. MTW

ThIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PICKS by Starr Begley

Weekend Ragers

Beautiful Badi

Friday and Saturday, (Nov. 30, Dec. 1) 10 p.m. at Casanova, Makawao

Saturday, (Dec. 1) 7:30 p.m. at the McCoy Studio Theater, MACC

[MUSIC] This weekend there are two great localmusic shows taking place at Casanova in Makawao. There seems to be a surge of local talent at this venue. Back when I was younger, keiki-less and single, we used to call Casanova â&#x20AC;&#x153;Casa-groovyâ&#x20AC;? and the scene was a lot differentâ&#x20AC;Ś a lot more Paia-ish, complete with windsurfers and girls with big pupils. Not that this is a bad thingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I mean, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for body glitter, but local music and the crowd it brings has such a good vibe. The weekend kicks off on Friday with Nuffsedd and Dani Girl and continues on Saturday with Na Koho. Both bands are awesome and sure to rock (err, skank) the stage until the wee hours. Dress up or dress down, but rememberâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;no rubbah slippah on the dance floor. Tickets: Fri. $10, Sa. $5 before 11 p.m. 572-0220 for more info.

[CONCERT] Man, oh man is Badi Assad hot. Beautiful, reallyâ&#x20AC;Ś No, hot. Wait. Okay, beautifully smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hot. As a Brazilian singer, songwriter and guitarist that plays jazzy world beats, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undeniably talented too. Since 1989 sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put out 11 albums. In 1995 she was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitaristâ&#x20AC;? by the editors of Guitar Player magazine. Her music and style has been compared to Tori Amos, Bjork, Led Zeppelin and Ani DiFranco which is just amazing because none of those musicians have much in common besides the fact that they rock. In a word, her beauty and music are eclectic. Tickets: $25, 242-7469 for more info or www.badiassad.com

Men in Tights Saturday and Sunday, (Dec. 1-2) 7:30 p.m., 2 p.m. Sun at the Castle Theater, MACC [BALLET] Who doesn’t love The Nutcracker? Seriously. I don’t care if you’re a 275-pound angry tough-guy, The Nutcracker is still awesome. For example, there’s the whole beauty of the music, scenes and costumes. Then there’s the skill, grace and athletic insanity of the dancers–pointe-shoes and the people who wear them are just magical. Plus, there’s the Rat King. A rat! I know, maybe it’s the whole “men in tights” thing that freaks you out. Get over it and remember professional wrestlers, MMA fighters and other people that you look up to wear tights and embrace each other all the time. Plus, the girls are wearing tights, too. Tickets: $45, $35, $25. 242-7469 for more info.

DAY

Top That Thursday (Dec. 6) 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater, MACC [MUSIC] For a girl with little or no vocal talent, I have quite a repertoire of songs I sing. I base my song selection on my location, for instance driving in the car usually calls for something mellow and acoustic like Jack Johnson while loud girl rock rules my bedroom while I’m getting ready for work. I do a mean rendition of “Blue” by Patsy Cline, but only when I’m absolutely alone at home and there’s no possibility anyone will hear. Then there are the shower songs, which is where The Four Tops fit in. It’s simple, classic love songs like “Baby I Need Your Loving” and “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)” that top the bathing playlist, probably because it’s impossible to be serious with a head covered in suds. This legendary group has been performing since the 1960’s and have undergone some serious lineup changes but still have the classic Motown, jazz and soul sound that sticks to the brain and won’t let go. Tickets: $65, $55, $35. 242-7469. [JESSICA ARMSTRONG]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Butterfly Effect King novella becomes classic horror picture A father and young son become stranded in a populated strip mall grocery store in Maine where a deadly mist enshrouds the area as part of a terrible storm. Hidden in the thick fog are gigantic insects and prehistoric creatures that ensnare the store’s inhabitants, gripping them in a fear that brings out their worst and best qualities.

Stephen King’s The Mist

★★★★★ Rated R/127 min.

Marcia Gay Harden is magnificent as a Christian fanatic, and Thomas Jane gives the best performance of his career in a low-budget, retro horror movie that is equal parts satire, suspense, and surprise. Stephen King’s The Mist is a reminder of what a really great horror movie is all about. Director Frank Darabont, whose adaptations of Stephen King stories (The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile) carry strong stamps of approval, is so in tune with King’s sense of timing, nuance and character development that it feels like he’s getting away way with something from the outset. First, we get a charge of inside

humor when the opening scene reveals family guy David Drayton (Jane) painting movie poster artwork that is as cheesy as it is enticing. The fierce storm outside has no patience for David’s pastime, and lets him know it by sending a giant tree through the room’s large picture window. The gale’s full devastation comes painfully clear in the morning light. The lakeside house needs attention, and the family’s boathouse is completely destroyed. There’s some discussion of the loss of the tree that his grandfather planted, and we instantly know that David is the kind of person we would all like to think we are— well intentioned and balanced. It’s an empathy that will steadily increase during the film’s onslaught of physical danger and cult-mentality. David and his nine-year-old son Billy (Nathan Gamble) give their disagreeable neighbor (Andre Braugher) a ride to the town market to pick up supplies before the thick mist descends. But the dense vapor is too quick. A visit to the grocery store’s loading dock gives David and a few local men a sample of what the fog hides when giant barbed tentacles attack them before they can shut the roll-up door. Cynicism, fear and stupidity collide in a volatile mix as the group of store-trapped citizens struggle to make sense of the bizarre

Better get your gas mask–looks like it’ll be a long movie events escalating around them. Darabont could never have gotten funding from a Hollywood studio to make the movie with the shock ending that it has, so he bucked the system. He made the film for “17 and change,” a dauntingly small budget that dictated a muscular approach to the material. Audiences will take away different measures of meaning from King’s deeply

satirical story and its military-inflected dimension. No matter how civilized we may think we are, human tendencies for dealing with the unknown under stressful conditions—whether from outside invaders or from the people next to us—is remarkably predictable. But what happens inside the mind of an individual? That’s something else entirely. MTW

Saturday Night Fever A night of dancing at the Oyster Bar

Photos: Pietro Ortiz

Most of my Saturday nights begin the same way. Around 10-ish I cash out the last few customers at my part-time serving job, finish the tedious task of handrolling bundles of silverware and count my tips. Then I head to my girlfriend’s house and we debate our options: Stay in and give ourselves pedicures? Grab a mellow drink at Lahaina Coolers? Wait around until nearly Last Call, then race over to the Sly Mongoose and pretend we’ve been raging all night? On nights when my friend gets a new pair of sexy heels in the mail that she ordered online—which is more often than you’d think—we go out dancing. It’s a good excuse, though we also go out dancing to celebrate birthdays, going-away parties, new boyfriends, break ups, good hair days and days ending in “y.”

So I spend the obligatory 20 minutes in her walk-in closet trying on low-cut tops and mini skirts, play with all 12 of her shades of MAC eye shadow and then slip in to at least half a dozen pairs of adorable-though-expensive do-me pumps before heading back to my house to put on some of my own, much less sexy but far more comfortable clothes (which look eerily like what I wore the last time we went dancing) and we’re on our way. These days we lean towards the Oyster Bar in Lahaina. Yes, it’s crowded, the music’s nearly always the same and there’s often a 20-minute wait at the

door, but when all you want to do is take turns buying Red Headed Sluts and Irish Car Bombs for your friends and shake your bon bon somewhere other than in front of the mirror in your bedroom, crowded and repetitive does nicely. Plus there’s a cute bartender. At the top of the wide, wooden steps there are a couple of black-clad bouncers nervously watching the door. As we walk up to them, they scrutinize us, our outfits and photo IDs, then pretend to ignore us as we pass into the bar. It’s dim inside, but not so dark that I can’t clearly see the randy couple playing tongue twister all the way on the other side of the room. The tables and chairs that line the room by day are absent and the big windows that overlook the exhibition kitchen are dark. Colorful party lights swirl around the dance floor; on a large screen in the corner, a strange black and white video plays, though no one seems to be watching. Legions of night owls pack into every nook and cranny in the room. Girls stand around in groups, some in slinky black dresses or glittery tops and heels, others casually dressed in jeans and slippers. The guys, who outnumber the ladies at least two to one, guard the bar or yell over the music to their buddies. A few brave souls have taken over the

dance floor, grooving to a remix of “Billie Jean.” A girl dances circles around a dumbstruck but very happy guy whose best move looks something like cross-country skiing meets throwing the dice. Not feeling the Michael Jackson, we head to the bar. This is where we start to get into trouble, because Jagermeister shots are just $3 and, after the first one, they go down much too easy. Our saving grace is that the bar’s usually crowded, which slows the service enough so that a good song usually comes on before we can do much damage. The DJ—usually DJ Nutmeg on Saturdays—plays a familiar mix of old school hip hop, new-ish R&B and dance music. Prince meets the Black Eyed Peas and then melds into Blondie. It’s funky enough—and the drinks are kicking in—so I hit the dance floor with my girlfriend and we shake our butts under the watchful eye of the group of guys that lean on the railing separating the dance floor from the designated drinking area. But I avoid making eye contact with anyone who might be looking for an invitation to join in on the fun. Some time around Last Call we teeter down the steps to join the mob of smokers gathered outside. After parties and late night food options are discussed, we wander home to warm beds and raging hangovers. Most of my Sunday mornings begin the same way, too. MTW

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) This is a terrible time to crash diet (as if any time was great for that kind of thing). I know you just had Thanksgiving and all, and with the holidays approaching, you’re worried about the extra pounds piling up. But the drastic measures you’re likely to be drawn to at the moment are a really awful idea. Feel free to implement any sensible, moderate plans of action, but anything that smacks of a get-rich-quick scheme, designed to get results fast, just won’t work, and it’ll probably leave you worse off than when you started.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) The days are getting mighty short—depending on your schedule, you might not get much sunlight in any given day. That’s depressing—literally. Please don’t underestimate how much good a little natural daylight could do for you. So many of your problems would be easier to contend with, if you had more vim and vigor. Where do vim and vigor come from? Not from fluorescent lighting, that’s for sure. Go outside! A daily morning walk could do wonders for your mental health. Specifically block out some time in your schedule to get your dose of sunlight-induced happiness—in my opinion, it’s better than Prozac.

Whoa, what’s this? The stage is empty and the spotlight is standing vacant. Sure, the theater may only be half-full and no one’s waiting with bated breath, exactly—but it’s still an opportunity. This week you have a great chance to break into a new scene and get noticed. Perhaps that’s because some of the usual big fish are currently off swimming in other ponds. So what? Take advantage of the opening. Get your ass up into that spotlight! The extra attention may not last, but it sure wouldn’t hurt to start things off with an unforgettable bang.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Has your life felt slightly lackluster of late? Where have all the colorful characters that usually populate your little fable gone, the contortionists and pie-in-the-face fetishists and bearded drag queens? Your guess is as good as mine; my good news isn’t about their return. I’m here to remind you of a talent you’ve always had but haven’t properly practiced in months or years: the ability to step into the role of colorful character yourself, and thus provide your own entertainment. Go on. I’m sure you can come up with a pair of mutton-chop sideburns and a ball gown, at least. See what fun you can make with that.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) This is an abysmal time for big changes, Aries. You’re always capable of drastic action, but at the moment it’s not likely to get you where you hoped to go. There are simply too many factors you can’t control; by the time you’re done zanily swerving around them, you’ll have driven yourself to a location you’ve never heard of, not on any map. That, of course, could be its own adventure, but I’m guessing you’re more focused than that right now, and would actually like to arrive within hitchhiking distance of your actual destination. If that’s the case, foot-to-the-floor acceleration and crazy stunt car maneuvers are a terrible idea—slow and steady will win this race.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Vagueness irritates you, doesn’t it? You don’t usually have time for anyone who can’t be bothered to make up his mind and be considerate enough to give a straight answer about it. It’s a wonder you’ve put up with one of these flaky wafflers for so long. This week your tolerance may find its limit, however. Please resist the urge to grab this scatterbrain between hem and haw and shake him until he says something conclusive. It won’t do any good (and could get you into trouble). Instead, walk away. That, ironically, could be just the thing to elicit a decision and a straight answer. Be warned, however—it might not be the decision you wanted to hear.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Although it’s sometimes a good idea to call someone’s bluff, I wouldn’t advise trying it this week. What seems like a possible put-on designed to manipulate people might just be the real deal. The only way to find out for sure is the hard way, and you really can’t afford that at the moment. Keep your head down, soldier on, and see what happens a little ways down the line. You wouldn’t want to keep this up indefinitely (and I hope you don’t), but you’ve got to be smart and pick the right time to make your move. This, I’m afraid, is not that time.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You never know what someone’s really made of until they’re subjected to a little heat. Some people crack, revealing gooey interiors you never dreamed of. Others get harder and stronger. Some flee, some out-blaze the fire. I’m not suggesting you go around testing people to see what happens when they’re pushed to their breaking points. That’d be a bad idea. However, if you just happen to be around, pay attention. What you learn could be useful; how you put that information to use is, of course, up to you—but I might hope you’d learn from it how to best be there for someone in need.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Leos are hardly renowned their patience. Instant gratification is often the name of the game for Lions, and “to hell with the consequences!” There are ways and ways to rationalize this kind of thing, and some of the arguments you come up with are very convincing. That doesn’t, however, make listening to them the right thing to do, especially this week, when pursuing your own desires without regard for the potential fallout could land you in deeper, hotter water than you anticipated. Practice patience, my dear. You’re long overdue to grow some. And remember—the holidays are coming up.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) When Virgos see a problem, they try to solve it. It’s almost a compulsion. Other signs can watch the houseplants wither away from day to day and never get around to actually watering them until it’s too late. You, on the other hand, would be virtually incapable of doing anything else until the poor household flora had gotten a good soak. That’s all admirable—right up to the point where your entire life consists of putting out fires, and just running from one blaze to the next. Is that what your life’s become? Perhaps since you can’t see problems without trying to remedy them, you should give yourself a break and find a refuge where those problems will be out-of-sight, and at least half out-of-mind.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) I’m not a big proponent of the whole soulmate thing. But sometimes you do just meet someone and you get them, right off the bat. They can see right through you—in a good way, because they like what they see. This, my dear, is rare. This should also be easy. You’d actually have to try hard not to forge a connection. But some Libras, sadly, are just self-sabotaging enough to screw it up by suddenly becoming insanely shy or disappearing right when things are just getting good. Don’t worry if you act like an idiot— either they can handle that or they can’t, and if they can’t, the connection wasn’t what you thought it was, anyway. Go out there and be your great goofy self. Do that, and you can’t screw it up.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

PLACING AN AD IS EASY! CALL 283-3260

This week is all about weighing the cost of the sacrifice against the value of the pay-off. Burning books for heat is not a good trade-off, for example. Burning furniture might be a better one, but it’s still far from ideal. Don’t settle for a horrible bargain, as if nothing better is available to you. Of course, most anyone would burn books if it meant the difference between life and death. But your straits are not yet so dire. You don’t need to settle for such bad deals, and shouldn’t. Hold out for a better offer, or—if one’s not forthcoming—walk away from the situation altogether.

RESTLESSNATIVE

BY STARR BEGLEY STARR@MAUITIME.COM

No Pets Allowed The kids want a dog for Christmas. In fact, they wanted a dog last Christmas. My daughter went as far as picking out a name for our future pooch: Pluto. I’d like to think that she tapped into some cool planetary vibe when choosing the name, but I’m pretty sure that it has something to do with Disney. The problem is that we can’t have a dog where we’re living. We can’t have a rabbit, a gerbil or even fish. Yes, I said fish—the reasoning behind that, according to the landlord, is that maybe the fishbowl will break and water will spill, causing water damage to the carpet. This mentality gives me a nice little chuckle every time I think about it because worrying about water damage to the carpet in my house is kind of ludicrous. Obviously she doesn’t know my kids. Oh wait, yes she does. See, my landlord is actually my late father in-law’s second wife, who is holding the property that we live on “in trust” for my husband and sister-in-laws. Sure, we pay the mortgage–the whole mortgage—and sure, one day the property will finally be ours, but until then: NO PETS ALLOWED. It’s kind of silly, especially because my father in law, who (along with my husband) built the home that we live in with his two hands, loved dogs and had them on the property. After he died, they died. Don’t even get me started on that whole fiasco. Since we have no control of the situation or her squirrely decision making process, we have two choices: deprive the kids of growing up with canine companionship, which is pretty much child abuse; or move. I hate packing, so it looks like the kids are just going to have to eat it on this one. On the other hand, my parents have stepped in to try to help the situation by bringing home a turtle for the kids from my grandparent’s house. This turtle has actually been happily living (with other turtle-friends) at my grandparent’s place for a quarter-century. He was originally mine and I named him Nicodemus. In the past 25 years I have pet him a total of three times–all when my mom wasn’t looking. According to Mom, turtles carry all sorts of weird germs and it’s only okay to touch one if you want to die. Unfortunately, this idea has been so engrained in my head over the years that I’ve passed it onto my kids, who have learned to be content just watching him hokey-pokey across the yard, swim in the pond or munch very slowly on apples. They don’t pet him under any circumstances and freak out at the thought of deathly turtle germs. The bottom line is that although they’re cool looking and have an overwhelmingly long life span, turtles do not make good pets. Which sucks because Judy Blume in Super Fudge made them sound so personable. The sad thing is that my kids are so desperate that they think Nicodemus is great. Both of them beg to go over to my parent’s to see the turtle. So now I’m thinking that if we’re going to have a turtle, we should probably figure out how to make him happy. This NO PETS ALLOWED shenanigans has gone so far that I think my daughter has given up on ever having a dog. How can I tell? She changed the turtle’s name to Pluto. Starr Begley would like to personally thank Ed and Greg for all kinds of stuff but doesn’t know where to start. MTW
