Loyal Bushies & Pineapple Resurrected HYPER LOCAL Reports of pineapple’s demise on Maui were, if not greatly exaggerated, at least premature. From the ashes of Maui Land & Pineapple’s defunct agricultural arm rises Haliimaile Pineapple Company, a venture backed by several former ML&P executives. In a December 31 release, CEO Darren Strand said the company “brings new hope…by immediately saving 65 agricultural jobs with an expectation of adding more in the future.” Of course, the issues that doomed ML&P—and plantation-style ag in general—still loom, but hey, it’s the New Year. If you can’t be optimistic now, when can you?…

LOCAL On the subject of optimism: You’ll be glad to hear Hawaii’s public school system will be “staying the course,” according to Acting Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi, who replaces the recently resigned Pat Hamamoto. That would be the same course that’s gotten us bottom-ofthe-heap test scores and the fewest number of instructional days in the nation, right?

Just checking. (OK, to be fair: as of this writing, there were rumblings that Gov. Lingle and the teachers union might soon reach an agreement to eliminate some furlough days. May I be the first to nominate them for a medal of honor?)….

The hats of former Rep. Ed Case and state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa are in the ring, and the two may wind up splitting the Democratic vote in the special election to replace Rep. Neil Abercrombie, who announced this week he’ll officially step down February 28 to spend more time with his gubernatorial campaign. In that case, the beneficiary would be Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou, the lone Republican in the race. Right now, Case—a former member of the conservative-leaning Blue Dog Coalition who defeated Hanabusa under

It’s baaaack.

similar circumstances in 2003—is focused on making sure there is a special election.

In a January 4 e-newsletter titled “Why We Must Fill Hawaii’s Congressional Vacancy ASAP,” Case wrote that calls to hold the election in conjunction with the September 18 primary show “not only a disrespect for our rights as citizens, but a basic lack of knowledge of how Capitol Hill works and what’s at stake.” What’s at stake for Case, clearly, is a chance to get back to Washington. And he doesn’t want to wait….

Speaking of getting back in the game: This week, Gov. Lingle nominated Ed Kubo to a judgeship in Honolulu’s First Circuit Court, praising him as a man who has “dedicated his career to upholding the law and defending the public against crime.”

You may know Kubo from the eight years he spent as Hawaii’s U.S. Attorney. Kubo was nominated to that post by President George W. Bush, and managed to survive the controversial 2006 U.S. Attorney purge, aimed at eliminating those who weren’t “loyal Bushies” (quoting an e-mail written by former Ashcroft underling Kyle Sampson).

Not surprising Kubo was spared the axe, since campaign contribution records show he gave $2,000 to Bush/Cheney in 2004.

Always nice to see loyalty rewarded…. Gov. Lingle’s decision to thoroughly review the Environmental Impact Statement for

“You couldn’t pay me to watch that. Well, maybe you could.”

the Honolulu rail system—previously noted in this space as a paper-thin excuse to bring up the Superferry—isn’t the only thing delaying construction, but it’s one significant factor, according to a January 3 Honolulu Advertiser dispatch.

What’s interesting is that Lingle has a (potential) ulterior motive for stalling the project: one of its main champions, Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, could face off against Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona in the gubernatorial election. If he does, a failed rail would make for some slamdunk attack ads (cue ominous music, an unflattering black-and-white photo of Hannemann and cartoonish footage of a train running off the tracks)….

NOT LOCAL The arrival of the Kapalua Golf Tournament brings with it inevitable stories about Tiger Woods’s absence and the reasons for it (like the one in the January 5 Maui News titled “Fellow golfers surprised by infidelity revelations.” Because yeah, a billionaire professional athlete cheating on his wife—who saw that coming?). Titillating talk of jilted Swedish models and nine irons bashing through Cadillac windows aside, what this illustrates is how completely the game of golf relies on one man for its popularity. Seriously—close your eyes and try to imagine the PGA without Tiger Woods. Kind of like the beach without the ocean: white, bland and mostly pointless….

While Hawaii remains mired in medical marijuana limbo, California is blazing ahead toward the next logical step: outright legalization. An effort to place the Tax and Regulate Initiative on the ballot in November has reportedly garnered far more than the required 434,000 signatures, and supporters say they hope to raise $10 million (“10 dollars from 1 million people,” according to an Oakland advocate quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle). Similar attempts have failed in the past, most recently in Nevada, not generally known as the capitol of moral austerity. But with the Golden State staring down a $21 billion deficit, and estimates that legalization could raise $1.4 billion in tax revenue, there’s hope that the tide may finally turn. Of course, never underestimate the ability of prohibitionists and the fearful sheep who follow them to harsh everyone’s mellow. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/coconut26

‘Adjustments’ A look at some of the cuts proposed in Gov. Lingle’s FY2011 budget

W

hen Gov. Lingle submitted her supplemental budget for the 2011 fiscal year (which begins July 1) in December, most of the attention was focused on a plan to withhold Transient Accommodation Tax (TAT) money from the four counties “until the state regains its fiscal balance.”

But Lingle’s budget also features a number of significant cuts (or “adjustments” as the Governor puts it) to general funded programs. Affected departments include:

Department of Agriculture

TACO TUESDAYS

The Agricultural Statistics Services Branch and the Market Analysis and News Branches will be eliminated, and 30 Plant Quarantine inspectors—28 percent of the total workforce—will be fired.

Department of Health Dental Hygiene Services, which provides preventative care to students, and the Community Health Division will be

eliminated. The following programs will face layoffs: Adult Mental Health (37 permanent positions, or 20 percent); Family Health Services (62 permanent positions, or 36 percent); Public Health Nursing (23 permanent positions, or 89 percent); and Vector Control (37 permanent positions, or 63 percent).

Department of Public Safety The Kulani Correctional Facility on the Big Island will be shut down, with inmates transferred to other locations and 81 of 91 permanent workers reassigned.

Department of Human Services HMS 212, which provides support to the elderly, blind and disabled, will be eliminated, with services rolled into two other programs, HMS 202 and HMS 204. Benefits in the Medicaid Adult Dental Services program will be cut to include emergency dental work only.

The Medicaid program will lose 113 permanent workers, or 38 percent.

I

n her message to the legislature, Lingle also identified two programs that “will continue to require further monitoring”: Medicaid and the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation, which manages 14 hospitals statewide, including Maui Memorial. ■

T

he Christmas Day incident on Detroit-bound Northwest flight 253 has led to a predictable—and predictably disjointed—security crackdown.

To help you keep track of what you can and can’t stow in the overhead compartment, we pored over the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) list of allowed and prohibited items (look for yourself at tsa.gov.)

To begin with the obvious, items you may have brought on board may not include box cutters, ice picks, knives and meat cleavers. Ditto swords and sabers (who knew there was a difference?), as well as baseball bats, golf clubs, hockey sticks, pool cues, ski poles and—for our across-thepond friends—cricket bats.

Hammers, crowbars, drills and drill bits are all banned, though screwdrivers less than seven inches in length are OK. Who decided seven inches is the magic point at which a piece of sharpened metal ceases to be a viable weapon is unclear.

Throwing stars, nunchakus and kubatons are listed individually under the heading “Martial Arts & Self-Defense Weapons,”

Totally not a weapon.

though considering the section also bans “martial arts weapons,” it would seem someone at TSA did a bit of unnecessary research. (Seriously, define “kubaton” without Googling it).

You’re hopefully aware that dynamite, blasting caps, fireworks and hand grenades are not allowed in either carry-on or checked bags. What you may not know is that you’re also barred from flying with “realistic replicas of explosives,” bad news for those who enjoy pretending to blow stuff up.

Finally comes the perpetually murky realm of gels and liquids. At present, up to 3.4 ounces can be carried on (again, who determined this is the threshold past which liquid can be used for nefarious purposes is unclear, as is what would stop several terrorists from each bringing 3.4 ounces and combining them into a more dangerous volume). Meanwhile, “gel type candles” and gel shoe inserts are carryon no-nos, as are “snow globes and like decorations regardless of size or amount of liquid inside, even with documentation.”

So yes, you went and got your snow globe documented for nothing. ■ - Jacob Shafer To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/2upfront26

View From Above Ten years after her historic tree-sit, Julia Butterfly Hill puts the ‘active’ in activism

E

ach year, billions of North American monarch butterflies undertake a remarkable journey to spend the winter in central Mexico’s high mountains, carpeting treetops in gold. Some estimates place the colonies’ density as high as 50 million per hectare. The pines and eucalyptus trees of Pacific Grove, California also are a wintering spot for the monarchs, some traveling as much as 2,000 miles.

This holiday season, a rare and remarkable butterfly has flown to Maui.

Julia Butterfly Hill, best known for her twoyear tree-sit in a 1,000-year-old, 200-foot tall California redwood, came to Hawaii, specifically to spend some time in the ocean. “It’s also reminding me,” Hill says of her visit to Maui, “that I’m trying to manifest a home somewhere warm, near an ocean. I know a home is coming.”

Much of Julia Butterfly’s childhood was spent on the road—her father was a traveling preacher—and her adult life has mirrored those early wanderings. Since descending from her two-year vigil in Luna (her name for the tree she fought to save from clearcutting), her notoriety launched her into a near-nonstop tour as a motivational speaker for numerous environmental initiatives and issues. “For seven years, I averaged 250 events per year,” she says.

“The irony is not lost upon me that I became my dad,” she adds, smiling broadly.

I became aware of her tree-sit protest— which lasted 738 days, from December 10, 1997 to December 18,1999—about the time I was getting my feet wet in local community activism. Within a week I read a newspaper article about her, then saw a TV news segment. I was profoundly moved—even overcome—by emotions, by the level of commitment required to fight so passionately for a worthy cause.

H

ill traveled to California from Arkansas, after a near-fatal collision with a drunk driver required almost a year of rehabilitation. Attending a reggae fund-raiser to save old growth forests, she met a group of individuals who were trying to monkey-wrench efforts by Pacific Lumber Company to clear-cut, partially through treesits. No one had stayed in a tree as long as a week before they picked Julia. With a team of eight supporters hoisting provisions to her, she lived on two six-by-six platforms and endured freezing rains, El Nino winds and intimidation by company helicopters, security guards and loggers.

“The trees needed someone to communicate in ways that others could understand,” Hill says. “What won over the loggers in the end was treating them as human beings. Solutions have to embrace

our humanness, or they won’t work.”

Her vigil culminated with an agreement to protect Luna, and nearly a three-acre buffer zone.

the garden oasis. Five days before she was scheduled to go on tour, Hill joined an effort to keep them from being evicted.

She agreed to do a tree-sit in a majestic

“I’m healthier in a place like this,” says Hill of Maui. “We’ve disconnected from the Nature of our human nature. We have to build bridges back to those places.”

Her best-selling book, The Legacy of Luna, bolstered her appeal as a sought-after speaker. She has co-founded the Circle of Life Foundation, which helped organize an ecofriendly music tour called We The Planet.

She toured in a 40-foot biodiesel bus to showcase sustainability, with bamboo floors, radiant heating from the engine and recycled tiles and materials. The bus is currently leased to the Sustainable Living Roadshow, a carnival-like assortment of musicians, Djs and puppeteers who provide school programs, music and games for kids.

Hill also co-founded Engage Network, a worldwide non-profit that trains small groups of civic leaders to build alliances and enhance social change in their communities. “I look to find where the spark is needed,” Hill says.

One of the original donors to the People’s Grocery in Oakland, she says the effort “changed the conversation to inner city food justice” in an area of East Oakland that once had 131 liquor stores and just one market.

“Food is my first love,” she gushes.

“Food is my passion.” She started baking at age five, cooking at seven, and opened a restaurant at 18. “I am a JOYOUS vegan,” she exclaimed in an E Magazine interview, adding that she understands some consider the dietary choice to be rigid, bland or judgmental. “I am clear that our forks and plates are weapons of mass destruction or tools of mass compassion based on the choices we make.”

walnut tree, the only location from which one could view the entire farm.

She postponed the tour, getting all her organizers to agree, and offering a live interview while she tree-sat. The group was able to hold the sheriff off for a month, though the site was eventually leveled.

As of today, three years later, nothing has been constructed. “They could have been growing all this time,” Hill laments.

CSFC now runs a Community Supported Agriculture operation with produce grown outside the LA city limits. The story is chronicled in the 2008 Academy Awardnominated documentary, The Garden.

Hill has put her own life in danger, as a “risk taker in a positive way.” In 2002 she was called in to assist indigenous

people and activists in Ecuador, where an Occidental Petroleum pipeline was proposed to penetrate precious and unique Andean cloud forest habitat. At one point detained in a broom closet, she was subsequently jailed and deported against her will.

Describing her personal style of diving into the deep end of activism, she stresses that “who we are is exactly who we need to be, though society tells us otherwise.” She recounts speaking to youth-at-risk, telling them, “I may be the only one who will tell you, ‘You don’t need to change—you just need to change your focus.’”

Of her visit to Maui and time in the ocean, Hill says, “I’m healthier in a place like this, so everything I do is healthier.

We’ve disconnected from the Nature of our human nature. We have to build bridges back to those places.”

Julia Butterfly terms herself a “resolutionary,” bringing solutions to the problems of our time. She says a combination of information and inspiration is needed to get people to change.

“I’m so grateful,” she says, “to belong to the web of people around the world who choose to be crazy enough to care—and choose to act from that place of caring.” ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/rr26

hile on tour, she invites local grassroots groups to attend and to share information. One that particularly moved her was the South Central (Los Angeles) Farmers Cooperative (SCF), at the time a 14-acre inner city working farm—the largest in the country— that fed 350 families. Founded in the wake of the devastating 1992 riots, SCF was much more than a farm, incorporating a community center, after-school programs, nutrition classes and more.

But, in 2006, the land was sold to a wealthy developer, and bulldozers were poised to level

PIRATES AND THE STOCK MARKET: A NATURAL FIT In Somalia, which is without a central government to speak of and where very little functions beyond an Islamic resistance and individual warlords’ fiefdoms, a robust “stock market� has emerged in the city of Haradheere for “investors� in the seagoing pirate “industry,� to raise money and supplies for kidnappers in exchange for a share of the bounty once a ransom is paid.

According to a December Reuters dispatch, 72 “companies� are listed on the exchange, enabling “venture capital� to fund greater piracy traffic and more sophisticated looting.

There even seems to be a financial “bubble� at work, in that since the “exchange� opened, pirates’ ransoms have doubled to about $4 million per ship.

specifically, using only his right nostril.

For added show, Kumar plays two harmonicas simultaneously, with nostril and mouth. A BBC News reporter watching him (for a December dispatch) said Kumar’s strain was obvious. “The veins running through his nose and neck bulge, his eyes pop out, and his face looks red and stretched.� And at Britain’s West Midland Safari Park, the African elephant “Five� spends portions of almost every day puffing away at a harmonica she found in her enclosure. Said a park spokesperson, “Five was making tunes within a few weeks.� (The talented Five also paints on canvas.)

AND WE’RE AT WAR WITH THEM

ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR STERILIZATION

Afghanistan’s national game, buzkashi, is attempting a marketing transformation inspired by pro football’s and basketball’s growths in the United States over the last several decades, according to a November USA Today dispatch. The main hindrance is that buzkashi is often little more than violent anarchy. A team of 12 men on horseback tries to carry a goat carcass the length of a field, around a goal and back, through an opposing team “defense� that includes almost any tactic short of murder. Spectators are often trampled by riders disregarding boundaries, and horses have dropped dead on the field from abuse or fatigue. The head of the Buzkashi Federation said he aims to present the game for consideration to the International Olympic Committee.

SUV GOTTA BE KIDDING Shannon Broome, 15, of Jacksonville, Fla., with her leg in a cast and still laid up from a June rollover accident in an SUV, was hit again in December when another out-ofcontrol SUV came through her bedroom wall and re-broke the leg (among other injuries inflicted).

Sara Foss, 39, the mother of 13 in Derby, England, who is scheduled to deliver No. 14 in March, told the Daily Mail in November of her vow to continue getting pregnant until she fulfills her desire to have twins. Her longtime, live-in boyfriend works as a boat-builder, but their main income is government benefits worth the equivalent of about $80,000 annually.

(Foss, apparently also a fan of literature and movies, has kids named Artemus, Morpheus, Voorhees, Baudelaire, Blackbird, Echo, Malachai and Frodo.)

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) Andre Stoltzfus, 17, was arrested in Saugerties, N.Y., in October after he allegedly counterfeited a $1 bill that a family member later used toward the purchase of a pack of cigarettes. (2) Bandanna-clad Jason Zacchi, 27, was arrested in Dearborn Heights, Mich., in November after, according to police, pointing a shotgun at a Wendy’s employee at the drive-in window and demanding money. Moments later, the shift manager angrily approached the window and yelled at Zacchi, “What the hell are you doing?�

RAGE YOUR AVNEIM ’T N IS Y ALS R A SANCTUR—JUST ASK THE A M R A F I N A IL E LE IMAL SHELT ANU YAGI AN

L

auralee Blanchard slips into a pair of black rubber boots and gives a hearty wave from the porch of her cottage, perched in the heart of Leilani Farm Sanctuary. She rounds the corner onto an idyllic green field, deftly scoops up a dark henna-colored rooster and, stroking him from his bright red comb to his back cape, introduces him as Gary.

Every animal at the sanctuary has a name—and a story—and Gary’s story is an increasingly common one. Nationwide, urban-area fowl rearing has witnessed rising popularity during the economic downturn, as a source for both eggs and meat (or in some cases, as the New York Times reports, as “an emblem of extreme foodie street cred”). Gary’s previous owners thought to do much the same and purchased ten Mainland-imported chicks from Dell’s Farm Supply, supposedly all sexed as hens. As the brood matured, Gary was the obvious standout; and as the neighbors complained, it became clear he needed another home.

Enter Blanchard and her labor of love, Leilani Farm Sanctuary—an effort she started independently ten years ago to provide safe haven to abandoned and unwanted farm animals.

During the past decade, the numbers of animals has grown—the fowl alone now number 48. “But the nest egg ran out,” Blanchard says, as she strolls through the vibrant grass among the company of chickens who boast a colorful array of intricately patterned plumage.

12 January 7, 2010

The labor and expense required to care for the growing number of farm animal residents, coupled with the need—and desire—for the sanctuary to expand, has necessitated Lailani Farm’s incorporation as a 501(c)3—which Blanchard and the board of directors attained last year.

Gary’s story began in a barnyard, where he was to be treated like a piece of livestock. Now, his story continues at a facility with a very different goal.

LIVE AND LET LIVE “The spirit of it is that we’re not asking the animals to produce anything—wool or milk or eggs—we’re proving sanctuary.

They’re our emissaries,” says Barry Sultanoff, Blanchard’s boyfriend. He explains that when the chickens lay eggs, though he and Blanchard are vegan, they ensure the eggs are distributed to friends who might otherwise be purchasing eggs that are “produced cruelly.”

Blanchard, who has served as the Maui director of the Vegetarian Society of Hawai‘I since 2001, sets down Gary and picks up another fowl—a petite black one named Akachan, who appears to enjoy being cooed and coddled. Blanchard’s affection for her chickens rivals that of most people’s toward their furry, fourfooted friends. She tells of how, as a chick—brought to the sanctuary by a child who had found the bird malnourished and alone—Akachan would sleep on the couple’s pillow at night. Still snuggling the black hen, Blanchard points to another

named Maizee, a brilliant white bird with a short red comb. Back on the topic of egg production, she tells a more chilling tale.

In late March of 2007, Maui Fresh Eggs, Inc., the last commercial egg farm on Maui, closed its Makani Road operations after more than 20 years in business. The rising cost of importing corn feed to the islands places a hefty premium on locally produced eggs. Put simply, it’s cheaper to feed chickens on the Mainland, making it difficult for local operations to compete.

Add the swelling demand for USDAgraded products (Maui Fresh Eggs’ product was state-inspected), as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s increased waste-management requirements, and it’s not surprising that there are now just three Hawaii-based egg farms, on Oahu and the Big Island.

The closing of an egg factory presents a quandary: what to do with the hens?

Blanchard says the chickens that were unable to be sold to the public were slaughtered; either having their necks snapped or being buried alive. She pales, clearly pained in recounting it. I learn more specifics from an article she wrote (which can be found posted the sanctuary’s Web site).

“While in the neighborhood, about a month after the egg factory shut down, I noticed the factory’s gates were open,” writes Blanchard. “[S]o I drove my car all the way inside the giant compound just to make sure no live hens were left behind. As I drove in, I saw dozens upon dozens of emaciated battery hens near the sheds…. I also saw

countless dead hens lying on the ground after apparently succumbing to starvation and dehydration during the past month.”

Locating a solitary worker, Blanchard received permission to remove the remaining hens. Returning that night with a team of five other vegan friends who agreed to help rescue and house the dying birds, Blanchard and her friends retrieved all 46 surviving chickens.

“The stench of manure and chicken corpses inside the long, narrow sheds was overpowering,” she recalls. “It was pitch black in there, so we used headlamps and flashlights to illuminate the hellish place. We were stepping on dead hens everywhere. One poor bird had become stuck between some bars and died a slow, miserable death.”

Some stories ignite nightmares, while others inspire poetry. Avipur—a dappled gray hen so stunning she could win awards—is introduced. Like Akachan, she came to the sanctuary as a sickly hatchling. Nursed to health day and night by Blanchard, Avipur was toted to parties, snuck into a MACC event and even attended a funeral.

From the time she was a small chick, Avipur’s precocious nature was unmistakable. Merely a deep gray puffball, she was enraptured by her own image in the mirror. (Sultanoff, quite taken in his observations of Avipur returning day after day, for hours on end, to consult her reflection, penned an eight-stanza poem about “one other bird/in her rectangle world/looking much like herself/ yet

jog by and see him there, so I left a note on their car.” Years later, Blanchard was contacted by the couple, but was warned that the only way to safely touch Larry was by poking him with a garden rake. Within days, Larry was transformed.

“If you change one side of the equation, the whole thing can change,” says Sultanoff.

“He was so happy to be off that tether,” adds Blanchard. “He saw another goat for the first time.”

After five years at the sanctuary, Larry has surpassed the normal 12-year life expectancy of a goat. “He’s so happy, he doesn’t want to die,” says Blanchard.

Indeed, Larry is as youthful in both looks and spirit as his younger field mates. The youngest are a pair of kids birthed from a black and white nannie (female goat) named Betty, who the sanctuary obtained without knowing she was pregnant.

“Everyone is spayed or neutered,” says Blanchard, “A birth here is very rare.”

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE completely reversed.”) Now fully grown, it seems clear Avipur was a self-aware ugly duckling, biding her time. Her adult feathers have slicked to that of nickel-sized peacock plumage forged of burnished steel.

Retrieving a bucket of chicken feed from the immaculate red and white barn-style goat house, Blanchard deftly tosses heaping scoops under a large shade tree on the hillside. The chickens stride up for their meal. But for soft, excited babble, they remain without squawk or skiddishness, and peck at the light cornmeal, scattered amongst the grass.

It’s a stark contrast to the fowl that can be seen pecking wild-eyed amidst chucked super-sized cups and cigarette butts in virtually every town on the island, on the roadsides and in medians. Those roaming, semi-feral hens and roosters elicit no more attention (save perhaps annoyance) than might be given to a Chicken McNugget.

Yet to view a chicken flourishing under ideal care, as they do at the sanctuary, does much to change that perspective. I find myself appreciating them as an avian spectacle, as living, breathing creatures, not just something to be avoided while driving or thawed and eaten from a package.

BEASTS UNBURDENED “We call this Animal Alley,” says Blanchard as she and Sultanoff walk down a sloping path, from the field where the chickens roam. “We built this here so animals could go on all sides of the cottage, so that we feel surrounded by animals.”

The alley stretches for quite a distance, along a fence line and under low hanging tree branches. “All the fencing has a dogproof apron,” Blanchard explains.

Over the years, despite extreme precautions, they’ve battled with loose hunting dogs that have dug into the sanctuary and killed goats. They’ve perfected securing the property and have since thwarted all attacks.

At the end of a long meander, we reach

the gate of a large pasture. At its entrance, buried beneath a large mound blooming with yellow flowers, is the sanctuary’s first resident and namesake, a donkey name Leilani. After a subdued pause to reminisce over Leilani’s sweet disposition and how her passing had even stirred up tears with the backhoe operator who had come to dig her plot, Blanchard and Sultanoff move into the field. Eight goats and two donkeys call the sanctuary home, and upon seeing Blanchard and Sultanoff they playfully amble toward the couple—Blanchard, particularly.

The first to give their greetings are a pair of chocolate-colored donkeys, Lehua and Jenny. The latter (appropriately named, as jenny is to female donkey as mare is to female horse), approaches Blanchard and proceeds to lick her face, while Lehua moves in to nuzzle against Blanchard’s chest.

“One is a kisser,” Blanchard says, motioning toward Jenny, “and doesn’t like to hug. The other loves to hug, but not kiss.”

Before she was rescued, Lehua spent years living alone in the dark crawlspace under someone’s house. She was initially paired with Leilani. After Leilani died, Blanchard says Lehua brayed for days. When Jenny came to live at the sanctuary, it didn’t take long for the pair to become inseparable.

“You never see them more than two feet apart,” Blanchard beams, like a proud parent discussing two well-adjusted siblings.

The goats are equally affectionate.

Blanchard, still grinning, lies in the grass and a black goat named Ned eases next to her, strands of grass poking from his teeth as he chews contentedly. He was brought to the sanctuary after a goat milk farmer’s wife, seeing in Ned a sparkle of personality, bonded with him as a kid.

Male goats on that farm were typically disposed of, as they are incapable of producing product.

Then, there’s Larry, a tiny-eared LaMancha goat (or “Don Quigoatee,” as Sultanoff jokes). “He was tethered to a tree for ten years,” laments Blanchard. “I’d

The prevailing northeasterly breeze envelops the lower Haiku hills, rustling up from the smell of wet earth and rich seaside-jungle detritus. The sanctuary’s barnyard bouquet is softened by the scope of the land the animals enjoy, their natural diets and the facility’s fine upkeep.

Heading back up the hillside, Blanchard and Sultanoff lead through the fruit orchard and the heavy shade of mature jackfruit, citrus trees and coconut palms. Most of what already grows on the sanctuary’s nearly eight acres is citrus, which none of the animals are particularly fond of. The sanctuary recently partnered with the Maui Food Bank, providing surplus fruit that might otherwise go to waste.

Early last summer, to create a more usable resource, the sanctuary benefited from the Fruit Tree Planting Organization’s Orchards for Animals program, which aims to “improve lives for rescued animals on sanctuaries by providing fruit trees for shade, shelter, enrichment, and healthy diets.”

Planting 30 trees including banana, lychee, mango and mulberry, nearly 20 volunteers donated their time. The lilikoi that already grow on the property are particularly loved by the resident rabbits, who devour the plant—vines, fruit and all.

“I’m Jewish by tradition,” says Sultanoff, beginning to chuckle, “I like to call them ‘the rabbis,’ and every time I pass them, I ask for a blessing.”

Within the rabbit enclosure, a colony of bunnies emerges and clusters at the gate.

The rabbit houses in the corner of the enclosure were built by volunteers, but the most striking feature is what the rabbits themselves created: a rabbit hole with an entrance nearly a foot in diameter that extends nearly 15 feet deep.

The bunnies (most of them Easter gifts that proved too much responsibility for the children who received them), circle around Blanchard’s feet as she gushes, “Aren’t they soft?”

It is a wondrous sensation, fingers dipping into fur like warm, melted butter,

while a cool December drizzle glints off the animals’ watery eyes and alights on their backs like pinprick crystals.

“We want people to fall in love with the animals,” says Blanchard. It’s overwhelmingly evident that Blanchard has done exactly that.

REACHING OUT Leilani Farm is modeled after the Santa Clarita, California organization Gentle Barn, which uses its animal sanctuary as an outreach tool for at-risk and special needs youth. By interacting with the animals, kids who have been abused or neglected can “learn to trust again,” according to Blanchard. “Above rescuing is education.”

The Maui sanctuary offers tours by appointment on Wednesdays at 4pm or Saturdays at 10am. They’ve recently hosted students from The ROOTS School, and are looking to expand both tours and community involvement.

But growth is difficult to attain with such a small volunteer base, the majority of whom provide one-time services. To develop further, regular volunteers are essential.

Much of the sprawling eight acres is yet undeveloped. Blanchard envisions one day converting the entire property into a kind of utopia for animals of all sorts. In the immediate future—with the support of the community—she plans to create gardens, like the orchard, to sustain the animals (irrigated beds exist, they simply require tending), and a duck pond (no ducks currently reside at the sanctuary, as the crucial habitat for the waterfowl has yet to be built).

“We want to grow sustainably,” says Sultanoff, who says it’s a bad thing “if there are more animals than we can feed or do right by.”

Back at the cottage, a relaxed ensemble of cats laze on the covered, wraparound deck built specifically with them in mind.

Saved from a dumpster as a kitten, along with her mother, is Alice. Nose regally upturned, she pays no mind to the chatter of chickens in the neighboring field, or to the bunnies down the pathway, or to the ruminants and equine beasts in the pasture below. Alice’s green eyes seek only the attention of Blanchard. ■

So Local, So Good Kula Country Farms will bring delicious fruits and veggies to you, so there’s really no excuse Located on Hwy. 37 in Kula Open Tues.-Fri., 11am-5pm; Sat.-Sun., 11am-4pm 878-8381 or kulacountry.com

“

resh” is a word that’s been brutally abused. Case in point: fast food joints that, with a straight face, sell their dethawed hockey puck patties, freezer-packed buns, flavorless tomatoes and wilted lettuce as “made fresh.”

But there really is no better word to describe the ambrosial wares at Kula Country Farms—ripe, radiant fruits and veggies bursting with color and life, plucked from the vine and kissed by the sweet Maui sun.

The farm, for those unfamiliar, is located on Highway 37 near the 377 junction. They’ve got a roadside stand where you can peruse an array of grown-on-site goodies, plus delicious jams and syrups and other products.

Of course, the problem is, unless you live Upcountry, that’s quite a haul for groceries.

(Plus, if you’re trying to do the whole sustainable, enviro-friendly thing, that’s a lot of petrol to burn for a head of lettuce.)

There is a solution, if not a very well publicized one—Kula Country Farms delivers.

The process is simple: you fill out an order form, specifying the exact items and quantities you want (minimum $20, which gets you a lot), and they bring it to you in a tightly packed cardboard box. They’ll go anywhere on-island, but to minimize travel, they only deliver to businesses, and only if 10 or more people are interested in getting regular deliveries, according to farm rep Elsa Forsberg.

Right now, the only participating locations are the Kahului YMCA and the Pacific Whale Foundation store in Maalaea.

But Forsberg says they want to expand; all they need is a phone call (878-8381) or an e-mail (kulacountryfarms@hawaii.rr.com) confirming at least 10 people are interested.

Seriously—next time you go to the grocery store, add up the cost of your produce. If you’re getting your recommended daily allowance like Mom told you to, you’re almost certainly dropping at least $20 a week, and probably more. And chances are what you’re buying isn’t nearly as flavorful, local and, yes, fresh as the goods at Kula Country. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/dining26 PHOTOS BY ALYSSA HABER-DE LEON

Upcountry Double Bill Casanova hosts a mini King K reunion and two solid local bands Kohomua

and Hendrick “Tano Mon” Haupu.

Guitarist Jason Pokipala is the only man on the six-string Saturday night (though Bailey plays guitar too). But even when he has a technical malfunction half-way through the set, keyboardist Rodger “Ra Jah Mon” Agcaoili keeps the rhythmic treble full, while bassist Kyle “Kayamon” Arakawa and drummer Calvin Canha bury the beats deep.

The band is impassioned and well practiced, and the crowd eats up their tunes like hot Portuguese sweet bread— especially when Bailey croons, “I want to go outside, go outside/In the rain/I want to go countryside…”

Web site: myspace.com/ wwwmyspacekohomuacom

O

pen a Hawaiian dictionary and you’ll find kohomua defined as “a first choice, and one greatly desired.” By the steady bounce on the dance floor from the Saturday night patrons of Casanova—out in force to support a benefit for the King Kekaulike High School Class of 2000’s upcoming 10-year reunion—folks unanimously define the band Kohomua as great, local-style roots music.

“We’d like to thank each and every one of you for being here tonight. We’re gonna bring you some roots and we wanna see you all on the dance floor. Let the music move you,” says vocalist David “Baileymon” Bailey.

Those orders prove easy to follow, as the seven-member ensemble plays reggae standards from their listed influences— Bob Marley, Gegory Issacs, Katchafire—as well as with originals from their two albums, Reggae, Reggae Music and The Next Chapter (available island-wide and on iTunes). The group is currently at work on a third album, yet untitled.

“We usually come up with that at the end of the album,” says Konane “Sista Kona” Pokipala, of the upcoming release. “We hope it’ll be out late this summer or early next year.”

With regular radio play, the band’s fan base has grown steadily over their nearly eight-year history. Their last release dropped in 2006, so a new Kohomua album will undoubtedly be music to their fans’ ears.

When asked about their processes for recording, Pokipala replies, “We usually just get all our music together and create a scratch tape, which we then have mastered.

We like to mix it up.”

As for the audience, the mix errs toward the happily homogenous. The attentive crowd—notwithstanding the venue’s location—is decidedly Upcountry. Few in attendance are not 1999-2007 KKHS alum.

Even Marty Dread makes an appearance to imbibe and make the rounds. As a former KKHS student myself, the night feels quite a bit like a mini reunion.

Casanova, in its late night capacity, is characteristically dim lit, darkened further by the virtually all-black clad attendees.

Catching the light along with the sunsetflashes of circulating green bottles are sparse pops of patterns, bright reds and choral blouses accented with bling that adorn the still popular girls.

“Oh, Mikioi Javier,” says Aukai Kim of his long adoration for the living, breathing bronze Barbie. “Since second grade, all the way.”

points to the stage and continues to shout, “They’re good—really good!”

Kohomua’s solidly executed, headbobbing set list—true to the nature of the local scene—shows some things are content to stay just the same. And sometimes, that’s a great thing.

Nothing says Upcountry like designer flannel. clutching loner, happy as a clam with a front-of-the-class seat and smooth-running ballpoint. The adage “some things never change” further applies as I find myself spending a good chunk of time chatting it up with “teacher” (in this case, the abundantly friendly cops who show up—like the crowd, in force—to ensure a

says Upcountry like designer flannel.

And nothing sounds like Upcountry like local music. For the climbing roads, the truck windows rolled down, the chill in the air, Kohomua’s brand makes for the perfect soundtrack. They build a wall of vocal harmonics, three throats strong with Pokipala, Bailey

eanwhile, the night’s opening act, New Direction, lives up to its name. Naturally, they swim mostly in reggae seas, but do dive into pop waters with surprisingly distinctive renditions of mainstream tunes like Maroon 5’s “Sunday Morning.”

New Direction’s conspicuous star is keyboardist Rocky Keawekane, who on several selections shows his skill by incorporating heavy ballads that make you wish you were hearing his fingers hit ivory.

For this, the crowd cheers loudest.

They are the sort of band you listen to, enjoy and are desirous to see develop; a youthful unit consisting of Max Kincaid and Leroy Amano on guitar, Amano’s sister Justine on vocals and brother of the aforementioned popular beauty, Lukela Javier on bass. Worth cheering for too is the fact that Javier and the Amanos are KKHS alum.

More impressive still, the band has only been playing for two months, at Wednesday night’s Jam Night or the occasional Friday night at Eha’s Pool Bar. Their newness is sometimes evident with transitional hiccups, but all is forgiven when you learn that drummer Doug Chong is a fillin grabbed two hours before show time.

(The seat is usually filled by Matt Solomon, husband of Tami Solomon of Eha’s.)

Back to the bar at hand, it’s pushing 2am and the lights are on for the last track, and a much cheered-for hanahou (the audience started cheering for a hanahou well before the first set was over, in fact).

“Once again, good night everyone,” chants Bailey as they wrap. “May your journey be blessed. Live every day like it’s your last. One love. Respect.” With that, the bouncer shouts “Okay! Everybody out!”

The sound dies, the lights rise and in well-practiced form, the remaining alum walk out quietly, single file. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/music26

Film Critique

by Barry Wurst II barry@mauitime.com

Thin ‘Air’ Great performances and timely themes keep overrated comedy from crash-landing Up in the Air

★★★★★

Rated R/118 min.

T

here was a time when commercial flights had piano bars, going through airport security took only a moment and people actually got dressed up to go on a plane, as opposed to getting undressed. That once optimistic view of airline travel is shared by director Jason Reitman and Ryan Bingham, the frequent flier played

by George Clooney, whose journey on and off the ground is the centerpiece of this surprisingly meaningful comedy.

Bingham makes his living firing people, going from one crumbling company to another to “let go” of whomever the current boss is too timid to fire himself. Bingham relishes the power and control he has over his life. He has mastered a system—catching a plane, firing scores of people he’ll never see again, checking into an upscale hotel

I smell sulfur, check that guy’s underwear.

and having encounters with anonymous women—and has no responsibilities or priorities aside from himself and his job.

When a young, visibly insecure but brilliant up-and-comer (Anna Kendrick of the Twilight films) arrives and adds a technical upgrade to Bingham’s system, his “skill” starts to look obsolete and he’s forced to prove himself to his boss (Jason Bateman).

This is Reitman’s third film after Thank You For Smoking and Juno and his best yet,

a thoughtful look at America right now, in all its technological bleakness. Like some of the best films by Billy Wilder, Reitman mines humor from the painful headlines and his protagonist is always pushing against the flow of societal consensus.

On the other hand, like Reitman’s prior films, which were interesting but overrated, this completes a trilogy about whiny, selfabsorbed Caucasians. Woody Allen can get away with making film after film about

neurotic white people trying to fall and stay in love, but Reitman’s characters, as likeable as they are, are into themselves to such an absurd degree, it’s easy to see why some are put off by his films. Years from now, we’ll look back on his movies, recognize ourselves and say, “ugh, I remember that.”

Clooney is perfectly cast and in great form, as is a scary-good Jason Bateman, who is making a nice career out of accepting supporting roles and proceeding to steal every scene he’s in. Kendrick, Vera Fermiga and J.K. Simmons (a knockout in a single scene) are excellent as well.

This is one of the most over-praised films of the year—with many calling it a lock for a Best Picture nomination—but if you can lower your expectations and see that this is a solid character comedy and not The Most Important Film Of Its Time, you’ll find it a reliably entertaining, if somewhat turbulent ride. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/film26

You Think You Snow‌ From sea to ski, Warren Miller is the preeminent pioneer of the sports documentary; ESPN, among others, credits him with creating the athletic/sport film genre. For the 60th installment of annual ski films—produced by him since 1950— comes the stunning high-definition film Dynasty (2009). Appositely, Miller was born in Hollywood in 1924, and at the age of 18, sailed the South Pacific while serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Upon his discharge in 1946, he wrestled up $100 to purchase his first 8mm camera, originally intending to film he and his friends surfing and skiing, so as to improve their form. But with his knack for capturing stunning shots and adding humorous narrative, he found a market for his work (for his first few gigs, he was paid in tuna casserole).

By 1949, he’d formed Warren Miller Entertainment, and now has over 750 sports films to his credit, plus has published several non-fiction works. Now in his early 80s, he is working on an autobiography. Friday at the MACC, don’t get left out in the cold. The projection lights may turn on at 7:30pm, but pre-show activities begin at 5:30pm. Grinds include Maui Tacos and Haleakala Snow Shave Ice’s special “Jaws� combo cone. Plus, plenty of prizes from Second Wind Sail & Surf, Local Motion, Hana Hwy. Surf Co., Naish Maui Pro Center and more. Literally the coolest activity is the “real� snow being created onsite, where keiki can trade in their winter whitewash for winter whiteout. 242-7469 or mauiarts.org

Journey to the Auwahi dryland forest, on the leeward slopes of Haleakala, located from Ulupalakua to Kaupo, and work to preserve an area that once birthed the highest endemism on earth. The Leeward Haleakala Watershed Restoration Partnership (LHWRP)—a coalition of 11 public and private landowners, along with many supporting agencies—works to restore 43,175 acres of koa forests at an elevation of 3,500 to 6,500 feet. This Saturday, LHWRP partners with Maui Resortation Group for a daylong conservation excursion. Reservations are required (as are clean, mud/seed-free gear and boots that cover the ankles), and volunteers who are signed up to work are scheduled to convene at the Ulupalakua Ranch Store. Though under the care and tutelage of forest restoration experts, ensure that you prepare for a hard day’s work through rough terrain, often in the sun (dress in layers, bring a hat/sunscreen), to plant trees, remove non-native species and collect seeds.

The LHWRP website (lhrp.org) lists “four primary benefits [that] can be expected from native forest restoration: 1) increased water quantity and quality; 2) conservation of unique, endemic plants and animals; 3) perpetuation of important Hawaiian cultural resources; 4) diversification of Maui’s rural economy. 573-8989 or volunteer@lhwrp.org

Nocturnal Missions

To a Tea

Friday or Saturday (January 8-9), Pacific Whale Foundation, Maalaea, 6:15-8pm

Sunday (January 10), Rinzai Zen Mission, Paia, 1pm, Free

Pack a flashlight and lace-up your sturdy outdoor shoes, and embark on a moonlit adventure. For adults ($10) and keiki six and older ($5), this is your chance to meet the intriguing nocturnal creatures of Hawaiian tidepools, as introduced by the Pacific Whale Foundation’s knowledgeable naturalists. In past outings, explorers have seen “brittle stars, shrimp, snails, urchins, octopus and lots of species of juvenile fish… unlock[ing] the mystery of why some fish are red, and check[ing] out [the] stalked eyes that some creatures use to see at night,” all the while learning “the eco-friendly way of interacting with tidepool animals, day or night.” Refreshments are provided, and reservations are required. Want more? The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua also offers three nighttime activities for keiki (5:30-8:30pm, $69 each). On Fridays and Mondays, “experience heightened sensory awareness” while discovering nocturnal wildlife in their Creatures of the Night program. On Saturdays, with the Twilight Coastal Adventure program, hike the Kapalua Coastal Trail to observe “the habitat of nocturnal shearwater and twilight tide pooling.” Or, on Mondays and Thursdays, with the Star Voyager program, turn your eyes to the night skies to learn the celestial navigation secrets of ancient Polynesians—with the aid of a big telescope! Reservations required.

The origins of the consumption of tea in the orient are medicinal, but scholars of Japanese tea believe it began being drunk for the enjoyment of its flavor during the Tang dynasty in 618-907. By the Song dynasty in 1127-1280, steamed and dried tea leaves were being ground into a powder, creating matcha (finely ground tea powder used in tea ceremonies and to flavor mochi, ice cream, wagashi and soba). The warrior class quickly embraced tea—in a rather boisterous way, as compared to the usages of the temples and royal courts.

But it was these grandiose displays, at first heavy with faddish Chinese influence, coupled with the rise of a powerful merchant base and the aesthetic focus of the Kitayama culture, that resulted in the refinement of the ceremony to something that is distinctly Japanese. The warriors continue to be closely linked to the ceremony, paralleling the extreme discipline and form necessary to that of their training. Witness the culture and simple elegance of the Hatsudate Ceremony, the first tea pouring of the New Year, as hosted by the Chado Urasenke Tankokai Maui Association. The association extends an open invitation to the public, and requests casual attire. 579-9246

Rob DeCamp was fortunate to grow up in Honolulu from the age of 8. He got the photo-bug after working on the school newspaper and yearbook. Joining the Lahaina Arts Society in 2002 gave him the initial outlet to show his nature images. Now, several years later, the main focus of his work is the beauty of Hawaii. He hopes he can capture the inherent majesty of the islands and share it with the visitors who come, but may not have the time to explore it as much as he has. “There is too much beauty and not enough time to see it all”. To interview this artist, please call 2811420 or e-mail photorob@aol.com. 4-7 p.m. Maui Hands, Lahaina, 612 Front St., Ste. D, Lahaina, HI 96761, ; 808-667-9898; http://www.mauihands.com

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) I dreamt I was sat next to President Obama at a show. Instead of taking the opportunity to ask him about health care reform or gays in the military, I said, “Hey, are you having any fun? In ten years time, will you and your wife be able to look back on this time and say, ‘Wow, what a blast!’?” For his sake, I hope so, and for your sake, too; if you can’t find a way to enjoy what you’re up to—even if it is deadly serious, there’s almost no point in doing it, is there?

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You pride yourself on being open-minded, but sometimes you’re as narrow in your thinking as it’s possible to be—only you’d never notice it until someone pointed it out to you. For example, if a friend of yours came to you telling you they’d found the secret of the universe in Scientology, you’d instantly blow them off (as you should; Scientology is evil). However, not all such similar situations should be so swiftly dismissed. Are you truly being open-minded, or have you already decided what’s what, once and for all? If that’s the case, this week you’re liable to miss out on something kind of great.

Your ideal relationship probably has all of these: sexual and emotional compatibility, humor, and financial stability. What if you had to give up one of them in order to have the relationship at all? Which would it be? Three out of four ain’t bad, and prioritizing which of the four you could most easily do without may inform your next few choices. I’m sure two are no-brainers; it’s deciding between the last two that’ll have you hung up for days. Holding out for all four will probably leave you lonely, though, so if I were you, I’d decide sooner rather than later.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Sometimes things just aren’t about who wins or loses; they’re about getting shit done, or finding a decent compromise, or simply figuring out a way to move forward. As long you’re primarily focused on coming out ahead or proving just how valuable you are, none of those things can really happen. The name of the game this week is cooperation, even if that makes you feel like just a cog in the machine instead of the star player. After all, isn’t it better to win the game overall than to be the most valued player on a losing team?

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Ask questions. We all know you’re the most interesting person in the world, when you choose to be, but even those who worship you get bored of you touting your own virtues. Especially if you’re trying to get someone new to take an interest in you, don’t bother talking about yourself. Even though it may feel like you’re a mystery, people either will find out about you soon enough, on their own—or they already know all they need to know. You, however, don’t. Turn up the volume on your curiosity. The more you can demonstrate that someone interests you a lot more than you interest yourself, the better off you’ll be.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) What’s your favorite color? What was your favorite color at this time last year? Odds are, it’s changed. That’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with having dynamic, evolving preferences that reflect where you’re at in your life. What’s important is that you’re aware of that, especially when expressing those preferences regarding people. Be aware that you might not like such-and-such quality two years down the line as much as you do right now. Your best bet is to hook up with someone who is also always changing, or to let someone know that you, at least, are—and they’d better keep up or risk being left behind.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Don’t be stingy with your love. Only sharing your affection with one or a few people doesn’t make it more concentrated or valuable. In fact, love has a way of growing the more you exercise it. The more you practice being affectionate and caring, the better you’ll get at it. So stop being so parsimonious.

You’ve heard the expression, “You’ve got to spend money to make money.” Well, the more love you share, the more you’ll have. And, just like money, there’s really no such thing as having too much. Also like money, the more you have, the more people will be drawn to you—and your opportunities to share even more love will multiple exponentially, too. There’s really no limit to how “rich” you can get.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Red Light, Green Light is a fun game when you’re a kid, but it loses some of its appeal in adulthood. What was a mildly fun aspect of the game as a child becomes incredibly frustrating as an adult. This is not something you’d be happy participating in for long, so it’s best to end it as soon as possible. If someone is playing a stop-and-go game with your emotions, you need to make a big move. Either catch them on the next “Go” round, or walk away until green light is the only signal you get (or the occasional yellow).

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You’re not known as the masters of endurance, but if there was a contest to see how long you could go without something, you’d have a very good chance of winning. Self-deprivation—especially of things you perceive as bad or unattainable for you—is one of your strengths. However, sometimes you deny yourself things unnecessarily, or for too long. Is this one of those times? This week, consider letting yourself try or be open to things that you normally don’t allow into your life. You may find they’re more available, enjoyable, interesting, or enriching than you remember.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) If you want to pick a fight with someone, don’t be passive-aggressive about it. I can understand the need to vent some aggression, but be up front about it, instead of toying with someone’s emotions just because you’re in a bitchy mood. This could become a fun kind of game, if you let it. Being in a foul or aggressive frame of mind doesn’t mean you have to take it out on the people around you. Be less subtle. Put on some boxing gloves and say, “Okay, who wants to fight?” Chances are, someone will happily step up.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Of course everyone rationally knows that keeping a cool head in a crisis will increase your chances of emerging from it unscathed. However, that’s frequently easier said than done. In the midst of chaos, your emotions can very easily get the best of you. Panic is a natural reaction when the house is on fire.

Even though this house is more metaphorical or emotional than brick and mortar, it is nevertheless burning—and keeping cool in spite of that is this week’s challenge. Stay calm and think clearly and you could still come out of this mostly unscathed. Freak out and you could lose nearly everything.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) So you’ve already broken your New Year’s resolution. So what? Don’t give up so quickly or easily. You made that resolution for a reason; probably because it’s what you ultimately need to do, for your own good. Giving up on it just because of a slip-up or setback is disappointing. Don’t do it. This is one of those promises to yourself that you should try to keep. To that end, you must make it and re-make it every time it gets broken, for as long or as many times as it takes to finally stick. Eventually, it will.
