HYPER LOCAL If someone refuses to accept an obvious solution they either: a) are stupid; or b) don’t see a problem. Castle & Cooke CEO David Murdock—the 183rd richest man in the world according to Forbes—isn’t stupid. So clearly he doesn’t see a problem with putting hundreds of wind turbines on Lanai and transmitting the power to Oahu via undersea cables. And why should he? It’s his island. Of course not everyone on Lanai is thrilled with the plan, which brings us to the obvious solution: to win local support, all Murdock would have to do is let a fraction of the wattage generated by the turbines stay on Lanai. Currently, Lanai residents pay the highest power rates in the state; change that, and you’ll change some minds. Not all minds—some people’s concerns run deeper than a utility bill. But letting Lanai keep a little of its own energy would be significant, both practically and symbolically…. Always nice to be made an example of in a government press release: Two local property owners who were hit with almost $20,000 in combined fines for failing to obtain building permits were the subject of a January 26 County dispatch titled— unimaginatively if descriptively—“Building Without Permits in Violation of County Code Costly for Property Owners.” A Haiku man was nailed to the tune of $10,000 “for doing grading work, plumbing work, constructing a rock wall and building a barn,” while Seashore Properties LLC paid $9,160 to “resolve three disputed Notices of Violation issued to it by County building inspectors” in Paia. What’s interesting about the release is that it’s completely devoid of context: we aren’t told how many other violations, if any, occurred during the same period, or how those fines stack up relative to others.
There is also no information about how to obtain building permits and get in compliance with the law. Of course, all that is available elsewhere. But that’s not the point. This is the bureaucratic equivalent of drinking from the skull of your vanquished opponent, which is weird on several levels….
LOCAL We have some fun with Gov. Lingle’s final State of the State address in this week’s Spin Cycle (page 9), but it actually wasn’t a bad speech. She (mostly) avoided revisionist rearview gazing and petty political swipes, and instead focused on Hawaii’s future. And some of the ideas she outlined—like easing the unemployment tax hike on small businesses, banning new fossil fuel power plants and offering incentives for electric vehicle charging stations and alternative power projects—make sense. Of course, as Sen. Kalani English pointed out in a January 26 Maui News piece, “the rhetorical words were nice, but substance and the meat need to follow.”… If it wasn’t clear before, it is now: Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann’s political future is quite literally riding on the Oahu rail. The EIS is still stalled, and it’s possible the July deadline to file nomination papers for the 2010 election (when Hannemann is expected to resign as Mayor) could arrive with the project still in limbo. If that happens, Hannemann will be forced to give up his gubernatorial ambitions or hand his opponents a ready-made political cudgel. Heck, Hannemann’s Democratic opponent, Rep. Neil Abercrombie, was already setting up the issue last spring, suggesting in a Honolulu Star-Bulletin report that Hannemann would “abandon his responsibilities” and leave the rail “leaderless.” Let this be a lesson, kids: don’t start any
multi-billion dollar transportation projects you can’t finish…. In October 2008, when Lingle was on the Mainland stumping for McCain/Palin, she dismissed Obama’s Hawaii connection (and threw her own state under the bus), pointing out to a Colorado newspaper that Obama never voted or owned a business in Hawaii and saying, cryptically, that “Hawaii is a different part of America.” But now that the Republican National Committee and Lingle’s buddy Michael Steele are catching heat for staging a convention at the Hilton in Honolulu even as they preach fiscal restraint, suddenly Obama’s Hawaii roots are deep and meaningful. “It is a great decision to come to the President’s home state, the most diverse state in America,” Lingle told the Star-Bulletin. Nice to hear she’s had a change of heart….
NOT LOCAL I’ve been critical of the Democrats’ toothless, insurance company-placating health care “overhaul” ever since they chickened out and took the single-payer option off the table. But please: the election of Scott Brown to fill Ted Kennedy’s vacant Massachusetts Senate seat does not equal a national mandate against anything. There are less than 7 million people in Massachusetts; of those 7 million people, only 1.2 million voted for Scott Brown. That’s less than one half of one percent of the population of the United States. Because of that tiny minority, the latest attempt to fix our broken health care system will likely die a sad, quiet death. And for this, people are celebrating. Golly gee whiz am I proud to be an American. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/coconut29

Same-sex civil unions were easily the hottest issue during last year’s legislative session.

In 1993, the Hawaii Supreme for better or worse, will once again be a key Court ruled in favor of gay marriage.

ounting on the LC Adjudication Board to take it easy on you is like counting on a centipede to be a gentle snuggling partner: possible, but more likely you’ll get bit in the ass. So when Jose Franco, owner of Juca Mexican Restaurant in Maalaea, appeared before the board for the second time in less than a year, it seemed almost certain he’d get the pincers. In June 2009, Juca was hit with three counts stemming from a December 2008 incident: failing “to register and obtain approval from the director for minors”; failing “to provide adequate supervision at all times by an ‘employee approved by the director’ for employees under twenty-one years of age”; and failing “to have an on-duty employee duly approved by the director in active charge of the premises.” The result was $6,000 in fines, $2,000 suspended pending good behavior. So much for that. On January 7, the board considered two more complaints against Juca, stemming from an April 2009 incident that sounded remarkably similar to the other one, only this time, in addition to having no approved employee on the premises, they sold a Corona to a minor decoy. Since the second incident, Franco said, he’s brought in outside management. In fact, he had a representative by his side. She helped him answer questions, and assured the board the proper steps have been taken to prevent further violations. Still, it was hard to imagine Franco escaping without a license suspension. And yet he did. Instead, Juca got another $4,000 in fines, $1,000 suspended. Add the suspended money the restaurant now has to pay from the previous violations and it’s still a hit, but not nearly as bad as it could have been. Guess the centipede was feeling snuggly after all.

DON’T TELL BERNIE MADOFF In December, a prominent online game player, Buzz “Erik� Lightyear, won the auction for ownership of a virtual space station in the Planet Calypso game, paying 3.3 million Project Entropia Dollars (PEDs), which at various points entered the game’s economy at an out-of-pocket cost of 10 actual U.S. cents per PED. Thus, Lightyear “paid� $330,000 for nothing more than digital representations of cool-looking structures. However, Lightyear can now charge other PED-seeking players who shop and hunt for valuables on the popular space station, and appears confident he will eventually earn back his investment. (On the other hand, if everyone suddenly abandoned the game, Lightyear will have spent thousands of hours online, buying, selling and bartering to earn $330,000 worth of PEDs that would then be worthless.)
AFFIRMATIVE INACTION In January, the Berkeley (Calif.) School Board began consideration of a nearunanimous recommendation of Berkeley High School’s Governance Council to eliminate science labs from its curriculum, reasoning that the classes mostly serve white students, leaving less money for programs for underperforming minorities. Berkeley High’s white students do far better academically than the state average; black and Latino students do worse than average. Five science teachers would be dismissed.
SEIZURING THE DAY In December, Portuguese dancer Rita Marcalo, seeking to raise public awareness of the tragedy of epilepsy (which has afflicted her for 20 years), performed a 24-hour “show� at a West Yorkshire, England, theater in which she attempted to trigger an epileptic seizure on stage. She had stopped taking medication beforehand and continually stared into flashing strobe lights, but was unsuccessful. However, in the second part of her project (which has been funded by an Arts Council grant equivalent to about $20,000), she will continue the quest, but only in front of cameras, hoping to capture a seizure for a subsequent video production.
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE Although the U.S. military can direct a
drone aircraft halfway around the world to deliver bombs mostly on highly specific targets in Iraq, the Pentagon acknowledged in December that even after six years of war, its signals to the drone are still not encrypted. Thus, Iraqi insurgents can pinpoint drone locations merely by using ordinary computer programs like SkyGrabber, which is widely available from software retailers for about $25. U.S. officials admitted that the software could make it easier for insurgents to anticipate the timing and location of attacks.
SUPER STALKERS (1) Prominent eastern Idaho prosecuting attorney Blake Hall, 56, was fired in November (and he also resigned from a major national political position) after his conviction for stalking an ex-girlfriend. Evidence at trial revealed that Hall had been tossing used condoms onto the woman’s lawn, a total of 19 collected on 10 different days. (2) Truck driver Yuuki Oshima, 22, was arrested in Chiba, Japan, in December after allegedly urinating through the mail slot of a woman’s apartment door on more than one occasion. Oshima told police that he was frustrated, apparently too shy to approach the woman and admit that he was “crazy� about her.
INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) In December in Cardiff (Wales) Crown Court, James Snell was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a bank robbery from which he made his getaway in his own car with an easy-to-remember personalized license plate (“J4MES�). (2) Mark McAvinew, 52, was arrested in Kansas City, Mo., in December after allegedly robbing the Metcalf Bank and fleeing in an A.M. Heating & Cooling company van (a business he co-owns). (3) In November, Christopher Walker was sentenced to two years in jail for robbing a Lloyds TSB Bank in Birmingham, England. He had been caught within minutes, as he fled the bank to his home across the street. ■To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/notw29

And yet, like many clichés, it’s endowed with a lot of truth. We learn this when (like our own Anu Yagi, whose story appears on the following page) we get sick. Suddenly, the things that “

seemed so important are shoved firmly to the back burner or forgotten altogether. Without a sound body and mind, everything else is immaterial. It’s important to remember that lesson when you’re well, so you can focus on staying that way. As we do every year, we’ve highlighted a few interesting things people are doing to maintain and improve
themselves from the inside out. They may not all work for you, but hopefully they’ll at least get you thinking, and, more importantly, moving on the path toward lasting wellness. That way, the next time you careen into the ditch of life and someone tells you “at least you’ve got your health,” you can smile and nod—and realize they’re right.
The Healing Touch
By Anu Yagi
An alternative therapy based on ‘vital energy flow’ makes its way to Kaiser Permanente, erasing skepticism—and a throbbing headache
S
ome of the nurses have referred to me as a “long timer.” As a leukemia patient beginning my fifth solid week as a grounds-bound resident of the Kaiser Moanalua hospital on Oahu, it feels true. Despite being bedridden for more than a month, I don’t sleep much. My vitals are checked every few hours, so pockets of sleep are usually only found in the warm daylight hours between check-ins, and are often fever-induced. I see two to four doctors a day, three to four (or more) nurses and as many or more aids. Between schedules and rotations, I’ve met with dozens of highly-trained caretakers, openly discussing very private things like bowl movements, urination, infection, total body rash and hair loss that carpets the tile floors around my bed but does little to dissuade my comically kanaka fro. Even my visiting family and loved ones (camping out on a creaky, black vinyl cot, its mattress a minefield of worn metal coils) readily participate in the discussion. Great. Notwithstanding the compassion individually expressed by the caretakers themselves, the processes of my treatment are all very technical, mainstream-medical and chemical. A 33-inch, biluminal (two tubes) catheter is inserted into the inside of my bicep. A type of central venous catheter, it runs the length of my arm and right chest to one of the cardiovascular system’s great vessels: the superior vena cava, a fingerthick vein to the heart’s right atrium. Drawn from it are endless vials of blood for testing, and pumped through it are a slew of intravenous medicines. Bedecked with bags of intravenous medicines hung on blue hooks, my metal I.V. stand is a polyurethane mobile of sorts. “Oh, my dearr,” one nurse says in her pillow-soft Filipino accent, pointing to the laden stand, “you are look-ing like a Christ-mas trree!” The liquid-filled pouches sprout tails of tubes that twain to others, all of which are wrung through a peristaltic pump that churns a constant chemical cocktail into my system, to the tune of a roiling mechanical hum. Chemotherapy, antibiotics, antiviral, anti-nausea, steroids, saline, blood. Thick metal needles have sucked blood and marrow from my bones and they’ve carefully tapped my spine like a maple tree to test the cerebrospinal fluid that drips from it. More often than meals I swallow little cupfuls of crayon-colored pharmaceuticals—the collection of orbs like a mini Mad Hatter’s Easter basket. No wonder I have a headache.
I
t’s the kind of headache for which there is no real relief. Originating simultaneously from my frontal and parietal lobes, it is a deepening concrete pressure that bookends my brain. When I move, it shoots down my back and settles in my middle before trickling out to my limbs like bits of broken glass in a stream. In my right ear—steadily losing its function—all I can hear is my pulse as strong as if I’d buried my head in the place where waves meet the sand. It’s been this way for weeks.
They do me one better by dressing in full ul preventative regalia—sleeved yellow gowns wn and teal latex gloves. “Um, what is the Healing Touch?” I croak, hoping I sound more inquisitive than suspicious. The taller woman explains as the shorter one plugs in a small blue and silver boom box. Essentially, it’s energy work—all very safe, she assures me. They’ll turn on some “relaxing music,” have me lie back with the bed raised to waist-height and proceed to

The sensation can only be described as a honey-colored cloud resting on my forehead, marshmallowy and sunshine warm. Opiates take the edge off—a little. But I am stubborn. Fancying myself a student of Japanese bushido ethic, using warfare prose to relish in self-managing pain, I aim to stave off even one extra pill. “No need be shame in asking for pain meds,” the nurses all chide. It’s not so much shame as it is a desire for exploration. What’s the point of experiencing anything so wildly intriguing as blood cancer if you blind yourself to the path? It may be that same sense of exploration that made me say yes to the Healing Touch. Truth be told (though I will always have an open ear and curious heart for anything at all), I am, at my core, a skeptic when it comes to the la-tida musings of energies and chakras and whatnots. I say this so you know I didn’t enter the experience as a believer.
conduct a form of holistic therapy intended to reduce pain. The pair inquire as to my current pains. Other than the bare necessity of communicating with my caretakers, I’ve not been in the habit of discussing it all that much. Hmm… what to say? I have not taken a crap in five days. My gums are gray and I’m nursing raw lesions. Most of the visible veins in my forearm have burst and I can barley bend my elbows. And there’s that damned glassshattering vice-grip on my skull.
hands flat and placed upon one another like they’re about to start a game of patty cake. “If you’d like—so long as you are relaxed. Some people fall asleep,” they say. I watch for only as long as it takes for them to slowly wave their hands inches above my body up toward my chest. At which point—as their eyes are in range of mine—I have a tinge of discomfort and feeling of silliness, and end my curious journo watch of their wriggling blue fingers. (Continued on page 23)

wo retirement-aged ladies poke their head into my room in the early afternoon. Unfamiliar faces, I assume they’ve popped in on the wrong patient. Of straight edge composure with close-cropped hair, matching vests and simple jewelry, they look like modern candy stripers, hospital auxiliaries. My mom gets up from my bedside to speak with them. “These women are volunteers and are here to do the Healing Touch,” she says to me. “Would you like to try it?” says the shorter of the two women, leaning in with a sweet grin. Cracking a dry smile in return, I muster my most enthusiastic “uh-huh,” without the slightest clue as to what the hell the Healing Touch is. I’ll try anything for the sake of trying—pain or no pain. Being neutropenic—a hematological disorder brought on by both the cancer and the chemo that makes me highly susceptible to infection—the ladies must don masks before entering my room.

They Like it Raw
By Jacob Shafer
Close your oven and nuke your microwave—raw food proponents say an uncooked diet is the key to a healthy life
F
or most people, “not cooking” means going to a restaurant, ordering takeout or inviting Mom over and gently nudging her into the kitchen. But for raw foodies, the phrase is literal. Food, the argument goes, is better for you when it isn’t heated. Different sources cite different thresholds (usually between 106 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit), but the overall idea is that at a certain temperature food starts to lose essential enzymes and nutrients. Proponents say a raw food diet maximizes the benefits of healthy foods, aids digestion and generally helps us get the most out of what we eat. For many, it’s not just about the body but the planet as well. Maui’s Optimum Living Alliance says in its mission statement that a vegetarian, vegan, raw food lifestyle has “supreme personal health applications” and helps foster “critical and significant improvements in the environmental, spiritual and economic issues we face today.” Raw food can take many forms: fruits, vegetables, sprouts, nuts, grains, juices. Basically anything that can be safely consumed without cooking or processing, though the emphasis is on organic and, increasingly, local. (According to livingfoods. com—“the largest community on the Internet dedicated to educating the world about the power of living and raw foods”— people who emphasize different types of foods fall under various subcategories: “fruitarian,” “sproutarian,” “juicearian,” etc.) Sha‘anan, the pastry chef at Rodeo General in Makawao, says he got into raw food in New York in the late ’90s. “I was working at one of Brooklyn’s only 100 percent vegan organic restaurants at the time, and one of my customers turned me onto it,” he remembers. “Then it just seemed to explode in early 2000.” Sha‘anan attributes this spike in popularity to a collective sense of dietary malaise, a disconnect from our nutritional roots. “We have strayed so far away from how we’re supposed to eat as human beings, we needed something extreme to come about.”
E
xtreme is a good word for a diet that asks us to abandon one of the fundamental pillars of food preparation, something that’s been around since the dawn of civilization. In a 2003 study, Harvard anthropologist Richard Wrangham suggested “cooking may be obligatory for humans” and that evolution has wired us to process—and require—cooked food. Sha‘anan himself doesn’t subscribe to an entirely raw diet. He estimates that his diet is “about half” raw food. (“Percentages kind of scare me,” he adds. “A lot of people get too
“We have strayed so far away from how we’re supposed to eat as human beings,” says Sha‘anan, the pastry chef at Makawao’s Rodeo General, “we needed something extreme to come about.” caught up in that.”) And though he’s an expert at vegan and vegetarian preparations, he says he occasionally eats meat. “It just depends on where it came from,” he says. “If I know who raised the animal and cleaned it.” Asked if that means he’d rather eat a locally grown, organic steak than some pesticide-laced lettuce flown in from the Mainland, he answers without hesitation: “absolutely.”
RECIPES: Green Burrito 1 bunch baby cabbage leaves, or leaves of choice Mixed sprouts, red clover and radish 2 medium-sized beets, grated 4 carrots, grated 1-2 cups cilantro, chopped 1-2 slices purple onion, finely minced 1 fresh lemon or key lime, juiced 1/4 cup raw tahini Dash of water Umeboshi plum vinegar, to taste Sprinkle of cumin seeds or caraway seeds, whole or freshly ground Mix all together except collard leaves and sprouts. Use the leaf as a tortilla and wrap the filling in with some sprouts, roll up like a burrito
But he’s also quick to return to the benefits of raw food, particularly when it comes to digestion. “A third of your life’s energy goes toward digesting food,” he says. “So if you give your body a break and help it along with raw food, that vital energy goes back into healing the body.” Though restaurants that cater to raw foodies are more plentiful in big cities, Sha‘anan (who’s been on-island for seven years) says Maui is an ideal place to grow your own food and “focus on what you’re eating.” At the same time, he acknowledges that a raw, plant-based diet may not mesh with certain local delicacies. (Somehow “raw plate lunch” doesn’t roll off the tongue.) However, Sha‘anan is adamant that anyone who thinks raw food is by definition bland and flavorless “hasn’t been exposed to enough good vegan and raw food.” He says the rise in popularity of alternative diets coupled with the Internet and all its recipe-sharing, community-fostering potential has created an environment where “it’s easy to be satisfied, certainly more than it was even five years ago.” But what about choices? Even if the food you eat tastes good, going raw severely limits your options, right? “I don’t think it’s limiting at all,” says Sha‘anan. “It just takes a little creativity.” ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/mbs2

Breast Intentions
By Sarah Ruppenthal
Titillating status updates are fun, but a new digital mammography service could really save lives
A
nyone with a Facebook account couldn’t have missed it. And apparently, anyone wearing a bra couldn’t resist it. A few weeks ago, a barrage of status updates surreptitiously materialized on thousands of Facebook profiles, ranging from enigmatic (“pink,” “black, “leopard print”) to brazen (“lacy purple with yellow polka dots,” “black leather with silver studs”). For those who may be scratching their heads in confusion, these mysterious updates resulted from an anonymous email that was passed among Facebook members: “Some fun is going on… just write the color of your bra in your status. Just the color, nothing else. It will be neat to see if this will spread the wings of breast cancer awareness. It will be fun to see how long it takes before people wonder why all the girls have a color in their status… Ha, ha.” While this may sound like an exhibitionist’s dream come true, these cyber-confessions revealed (pun intended) far more than a seemingly endless spectrum of bra colors. This demonstration of “camabraderie” resulted from a viral campaign designed to generate awareness for breast cancer screening and prevention. Awareness is half the battle when it comes to encouraging women to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages, and the campaign utilized social networking to share this important message. Did it work? Well, according to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Spokeswoman Andrea Rader, on the day the campaign started, the organization’s Facebook fan base increased from 134,000 to 142,784—and the number is still climbing. But more importantly, the campaign served as a fun, free reminder to women to schedule regular breast exams, which, of course, involves the one word that strikes a chord of fear in the hearts of so many: mammogram. Many women liken the procedure to a migraine headache—but despite the discomfort and unpleasantness, a mammogram can save a life. However, two months ago, an announcement by the U.S. Department

One in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her life, and the stage at which it is detected greatly influences survival. of Health and Human Services Preventive Services Task Force put the issue of mammography into a tailspin. The task force released a new set of recommendations for women who are at “moderate risk” for breast cancer, contending that initial mammograms should be scheduled at the age of 50, not the standard age of 40. The ensuing outrage stoked the flames of controversy—pitting physicians against federal task force members. Why are mammograms so important? According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer. One in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her life, and the stage at which it is detected greatly influences survival. If detected early, the five-year survival rate is nearly 100 percent. In the aftermath of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force’s “revised” set of recommendations, the ACS issued a plea to all women 40 years of age and older, imploring them to schedule a mammogram every year, regardless of personal risk factors.
adjust brightness and contrast, and zoom in on specific areas in order to detect small calcifications, masses or other changes that may be signs of early-stage breast cancer. According to MDi Radiologist Dr. Andrew Kayes, digital mammography will save even more lives than “traditional,” film-screen mammograms. “I know this will make a significant impact on the health of women across Maui,” he says. Digital mammography offers numerous practical advantages, as well as patient conveniences. Unlike filmscreen mammography, technicians do not need to wait for film to be developed, which potentially reduces the amount of time patients will spend at the clinic.
For those who shudder at the thought of undergoing the procedure, this may help you relax: the new equipment comes with soft cushions to ease your discomfort. With the assistance of digital mammography, MDi strives to make an even greater contribution in the fight against breast cancer. “It is essential that all women get a mammogram when they turn 40,” said Dr. Kayes. “It is the single most effective way of detecting breast cancer early enough to treat it… and beat it.” MDi has locations in Kihei, Wailuku and two in Kahului. For more information or to schedule a mammogram, contact MDi at 873-9551. Sure, it’s not a pleasant experience, but it’s the first line of defense to combat breast cancer. So ladies, be sure to tie a (pink) ribbon around your finger and schedule regular breast exams. Oh, and if you are wondering, my status update was “red.” ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/mbs3

he good news: one Maui clinic is making mammography easier.

This revolutionary medical imaging technology provides incredibly sharp images, which in turn increase prevention and early detection. With the assistance of this new, life-saving technology, images can be viewed and manipulated on highresolution computer monitors that enhance visualization on structures within the breast tissue.

Nothing But the Tooth
New Feature
By Jen Russo
Sure it’s cosmetic, but a whiter smile can increase confidence and even motivate you to take better care of your teeth
I
’m not a big supporter of cosmetic improvements. But I do have a healthy dose of feminine vanity, so when my orthodontist suggested that I try teeth whitening after I got my braces off, I was intrigued. The popularity of teeth whitening is growing exponentially, along with the rise of shows like Extreme Makeover. The teeth whitening industry claims billions in annual revenue despite the sagging economy. According to a poll conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the business increased 300 percent from 1995 to 2000. Nationwide, you can find teeth whitening booths everywhere from malls to standalone dental spa offices. With so many products and methods on the market, the obvious question became: where do I begin?
Dentist vs. Non-Dentist It comes down to personal preference and pricing. Teeth whitening gels can be bought over the counter in the familiar strips, or in a substance that you paint on your teeth. Crest Whitestrips will run you around $40 for a product you have to put on your teeth for a half-hour, every day for two weeks. The results last around four months. In a tray-based teeth whitening system, a dentist does a mold of your teeth to make the trays, upper and lower. You add the product at home and wear for a few hours, or in some cases overnight. Results last for up to three years, and you can do touch ups, but these products and treatments run $250 to $500 locally. Dentists will also apply the treatment inhouse, but that runs a bit more—starting at $550. Laser whitening is another process done by dentists that can be in the $700 range, although I couldn’t find a dentist locally who offered it. A teeth whitening spa will run you between $100 and $170 for an in-house treatment that shows results after about two hours. The product is similar to what dental offices offer, but isn’t applied by a dentist.
Why Whiten? There are more ways to stain your teeth than there are teeth in your mouth: food, drinks, genetic traits, tetracycline antibiotics, aging and, as in my case, having braces, to name a few. It’s not a critical health issue, but it is a way to boost self confidence, which can be especially important for those striking out on the job or dating market (or both). I decided to try the services in the office of Luminous White in Kahului. When I checked in I met Kawika, who was there getting his teeth whitened for the second time. Kawika explained he was a dancer in a
halau that performed regularly—in fact he was heading for the Marriott for a show after his appointment. He liked the results he got last year so he was back, and this time he was also getting the at-home treatment kit to keep current with touch ups. “It just brings a greater awareness to my teeth,� he told me. “I take better care of them now that I also get them whitened. I don’t want to be like da uncles with false teeth.� Kawika helped shake off some of my nervousness. Even though I wasn’t seeing a dentist, I still had that familiar “drill anxiety.� Fortunately, owner Brad Falcon was extremely knowledgeable and very upfront about the procedure. Gum and tooth sensitivity are common side effects, he told me, but typically last less than 24 hours. Falcon did recommend doing the teeth whitening post-teeth cleaning for best results. Tarter stains can be stubborn and are best worked on after a cleaning.
How Does it Work? Luminous White uses a carbamide peroxide solution, standard procedure for teeth whitening. It’s applied to your teeth for two 20-minute increments and your teeth show results that day. In the meantime, you kick back in the chair and listen to music or watch videos through high-tech goggles. The treatments are done in one big room with about four treatment chairs. Falcon takes a “before� picture and assesses the color of your teeth at the time. Your mouth is fitted with a flexible plastic instrument that both protects your lips and exposes your teeth. The solution is then applied to your teeth and a cold blue light that activates the whitening gel is shone in your mouth. I have to admit I was a little worried
about the invasiveness of the treatment, as well as the pain. After the second 20-minutes, I was feeling some tenderness that continued on through the evening. However, it never got any worse, and I took some ibuprofen to curb it, which helped. By morning the discomfort was gone. As for having someone all up in your mouth, for me the results offset the hassle of do-it-yourself home kits. I asked Brad how he can offer these kind of prices for whitening when dentists are pricing out at $500 and higher for the same kind of treatment. “They have a much greater overhead cost for the same product basically,â€? he said. “I even get some dentists referring people to me. We care about people’s teeth here, too.â€? The results speak for themselves. He showed me photos of others who came in for whitening and I was amazed to see that even for more stained and aged teeth the whitening can be significant. When your teeth get brighter, so does your smile. â–

sually when we promote local products, it’s fun stuff like food, clothing and booze. But just because something is made for a less, shall we say, glamorous purpose doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get love. Take Aunty Henrietta’s Hemorrhoid Helper. From the Web site (goAHHH.com) to the logo (a remarkably tasteful design featuring a wave crashing over an exploding volcano), it’s clear Aunty Henrietta has a sense of humor. That doesn’t mean she takes her work lightly. While the formula is kept secret—we’re told it utilizes “the natural healing abilities of the lani wela plant (Asteraceae)�— online testimonials and anecdotal evidence from acquaintances (who understandably asked not to be named in print) suggest Aunty is indeed on to something. ■For more info, visit goahhh.com, or check out Aunty’s blog at aunty-henriettashemorrhoid-helper.blogspot.com

❤ (Continued from page 15) Wait a minute. I’m in a hospital. Mainstream medical care. Maybe this odd scene is yet another delusion brought on by a temperature that has rarely dipped below 100. How is it that this decidedly alternative mode of therapy has made its way to such a place?
K
aiser Permanente describes the program online and in its patient booklets with surprising pride and detail: “Healing touch influences a person’s physical or emotional health without anyone physically touching the person… In the 1970s, nurses developed a specific form of healing touch called therapeutic touch to provide a more holistic (viewing the body and mind as a whole, not as individual components), compassionate approach to healing. Many nursing schools in the United States teach therapeutic touch, and it is often used in conventional medical settings (such as before and after surgery) to help comfort patients.” While “little research has been done on the effects of healing touch” as it’s difficult to analyze alternative care using “traditional scientific techniques,” the Healthwise review of the program says that patients who consult their doctors “can safely use healing touch along with conventional medical treatments.” “Central to healing touch is the belief that a vital energy or life force flows freely through space and sustains all living organisms,” the overview continues. “In a healthy person, this energy is thought to flow in and out of the body in a balanced way. It is believed that illness results when the energy flow is out of balance.” With endless schools of thought proclaiming similar foundations for their practices, it’s a wonder that a mainstream institution could implement and promote a program that invites strangers into patient rooms to, well, “touch” people. Then again, you can never really touch anything. The scientific community generally agrees that touch is actually the
sensory perception of gravitational and electromagnetic fields, and that on an atomic level—because of the electrostatic repulsion of circulating electrons—nothing really ever makes contact with anything else. The women conducting the Healing Touch therapy never actually touch me in the layman’s connotation of touch, either. They wave their hands above my outstretched body, and make whisking-away motions into the air, seemingly to purge bad energy or imbalance. It is strange, though. With my eyes closed, I can acutely perceive where their hands are situated, their motions. And when they reach my aching head—where they pour their focus—my skepticism melts away. The sensation can only be described as a honey-colored cloud resting on my forehead, marshmallowy and sunshine warm. I no longer hear the music. I no longer feel pain. Pain that I’ve lived with for weeks on end is (and I hesitate to use the word) blissfully gone. Sensing they’ve moved their hands away from my head, I feel their fingers float back down the length of my body. Then, there’s the gear grind sound as they push the button on my bed’s arm rail, and it sinks to its lowest position. “That’s it,” they say quietly. “How do you feel?” I cannot respond, and can only hope that a whisper of my heartfelt thanks is escaping my dry lips. “Oh, she’s asleep,” the ladies and my mom chuckle happily. I am not, but dare not open my eyes for fear that the sense of relief will disappear. It is already fading, like a morning mist succumbing to the arch of day. The door opens, and the hallway noise invades my room. The ladies and their little boom box disappear. And before I drift into a long, dreamless sleep, I manage to outstretch my fingers toward the door, a silent plea for more of the Healing Touch. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/mbs1

Keiki Lit Two locally produced children’s books in one week? Let’s see more of that!
I
greet all the artistic materials that cross our editorial desks at MauiTime with great enthusiasm. Usually it’s CDs and nonfiction paperbacks and guides to the best golfing spots. But recently something different landed in my inbox: two independent keiki books of local authorship. Giraffe Juice, The Magic of Making Life Wonderful, written by Mauian Marci Winters and Kauai resident JP Allen, is a story and program advocating nonviolent communication (NVC), and aims to distribute one million copies (either paper or electronic) worldwide by January 1, 2012. It follows heroine Eva Cassidy, a “frecklefaced strawberry blonde” from Fairtown, South Carolina who loves to play the harmonica and her metallic blue guitar—a guitar that she speaks to as she might to a doll, and has named Blue Shine. One winter morning, in her father’s old barn, she discovers a magical talking giraffe nicknamed Marvel, who, through the course of the book, teaches Eva (and us) how to deal with school bullies and be a peaceful communicator. The story then enters into the lexicon the term “Giraffe Juice,” defined as “a powerful energy that bubbles up inside of us when we know we have made life wonderful for ourselves or others.” To help young people, parents and educators learn more, the book closes with five pages of additional resources, ources, as well as a four-page list of words for or “feelings” and “needs” pertaining to satisfaction and dissatisfaction, to expand kids’ vocabulary in expressing themselves. With great generosity, the book’s author-duo and tors panel of developmental editors encourage interested readerss to share the book—availablee in its entirety for free, in fullll color—by downloading it online and forwarding it to others. “Ninety percent of the saless of ejuice. the physical book (at giraffejuice. preading com) will be allocated to spreading ut the Giraffe Language throughout world… the remaining ten percent will be donated to the Center for Nonviolent Communication to support its social change and peace-making efforts.” They also say they make “lots of free copies of this book” available for schools and libraries. That’s a good thing, as the paperback affords a bit of sticker shock. Before knowing their altruistic endeavors to distribute the book, seeing a slim paperback priced at $24.95 is more startling than its chaotic typeset, replete with font changes and swirling onomatopoeia.
doesn’t shy away from the fantastical is a plus. Because while I believe there is such a thing as too much pretend, I am also of the opinion that good-natured imagination is fast slipping away from our plugged-in kids nudged well beyond their years.
S
All in all, the boo latches onto a neat book wellconcept and has well-meaning insights. And if but one life in a million is made more wonderful, all its efforts are well worth it. Johann Sebastian Humpbach is the story of the kidnapping of Johann, the sea’s most popular singing baleen, known by revelers of the scale and tentacle sort as “the Pavarotti of whales.” Twins Keoni and Leilani are a lovable pair who live under the wing of Aunty Pua and Uncle Kalani. For their birthday, tied up in comic strips and silver string, the keiki receive snorkel gear, binoculars and
two tickets aboard the Hana Hou (to enjoy Johann’s do-re-mi). The gifts inspire them to embark on an adventure, unraveling the evildoings of humpback-snatcher Dr. Vile. Most easy to appreciate is the vocabulary. The book doesn’t assume too little of its young readers—as kids books so often do—and its colorful descriptiveness makes good use of analogy that does not, with any regularity, err toward cliché. Author Jamie David has a knack for good dialogue that moves the story effectively— even when it includes talking animals (which when mixed with humans, more often than not makes me cringe). The fact that the plot
o here’s my call to action to those in the local kids lit market (or those seeking to enter it): The precocity of Hawaii’s diverse keiki—the bands of barefoot and sweaty handed mini-we who inspire such works—deserve a lot. Playful disposition and less accumulated years can easily lend to a disregard of intelligence, and what we write for our children should not reflect what we so quickly have forgotten. Assuredly it’s a difficult balance to strike, but with the lessons we wish to impart, there must also be solid synonymity with tone and theme. No one—even someone of small stature—is comfortable with being talked down to… or bored, for that matter. Our keiki are sea sponges alive and longing to be challenged! They are complex and capable of learning by anecdote, of hard emotion and by wit. They are desirous of consuming (do it right, and their appetite is voracious) that which both keys into the appeal of vigorous whimsy and pushes their cognitive grasp so as to excite creativity and exploration of their own. Some of my happiest childhood moments were spent in public and school libraries, on the Bookmobile and at home with my treasured shelf-full, cultivated by me and Mom. The children’s literature that impressed upon me for a lifetime was metaphorical and wild, and the imagery that colored its cover and pages (or didn’t, a la Shel Silverstein) was masterful and unique. To the authors of these two books, thank you for being bold enough to make such exhaustive leaps into a realm with little grown-up reward (you know, fame and fortune and all that stuff). Thank you for sharing and thank you for creating with a desire to entertain and educate developing minds. I hope to see more local work in our young locals’ hands, and on our MauiTime desks. ■

Good ‘Book’ Post-apocalyptic action flick doesn’t cover new ground, but it’s a fun ride The Book of Eli
★★★★★
Dark shades, army fatigues, old-school-gun: standard-issue apocalypse wear.
Rated R/118 min.
P
ost-apocalyptic movies must be hard to make because: a) there are so many of them, they’re all starting to look awfully familiar; and b) you have to create the world we live in now, then make it look like it’s been kicked down a dirt hill and stomped by a gang of mohawked bikers. I still remember with a smile when the makers of Waterworld built a floating set off the coast of Kauai, left after a day of filming and returned the next day to find that their huge, lavish creation had sunk into the Pacific ocean. Yet the filmmakers have it easy—the only thing worse than building these broken-down utopias is living in them. No one knows this better than Eli, the desert nomad played by Denzel Washington, who spends the movie wandering Earth on foot after a great war turned much of the planet into charred, unsanitary ruins.
NOTHING
OVER
Brandishing a machete and a mysterious book, Eli makes a stop in a ramshackle town run by a corrupt figure (Gary Oldman) who wants to exploit Eli’s talents. When Eli skips town the next morning, the chase is on. This is the best film yet from Albert and Allen Hughes, the talented directing duo behind Menace II Society. I’ve been critical of how viciously violent their previous films were, but here the carnage is strong without being gratuitous or relentless. Instead, the

emphasis is on storytelling and, while this isn’t as good a movie as The Matrix, the Hughes brothers have taken the same approach as the Wachowski brothers did on that film: they have a lot of fun mixing their favorite genres and shaping a story that is both a religious parable and an all-out Western shoot ’em up. Washington is surprisingly ideal as a quiet, tough-as-rusted-nails cowboy, playing the kind of role that made Clint Eastwood
famous. Oldman once again takes a familiar stock character and makes him an original creation, Jennifer Beals is touching as his long-suffering companion, Mila Kunis holds her own acting alongside Washington and Oldman and Ray Stevenson, who I dragged over the coals a few years back for his dreadful starring role in Punisher: War Zone, is unrecognizable as Oldman’s right hand man—but his acting has improved. Under the grit and grimness, the film has a sense of humor; it knows it isn’t the first of its kind and pays clever tribute to its progenitors. For example: on the wall of Washington’s motel room is a poster for A Boy and His Dog, an early post-apocalyptic sci-fi classic. The third act drags and there are at least three endings too many. Yet there is a big surprise at the very end that I didn’t see coming, a twist so wild and unexpected that, for the first time in my life, I actually shouted an expletive in a crowded movie theater. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/film29

Eazy Does It
Firsts, lasts and in-betweens…
Saturday (January 30), Charley’s, Paia, 10:30pm, $5
Sadly, Jacques is gone. And, “Jacques owned Friday nights on the North Shore,” says Steven Cappelli, owner of Casanova in Makawao. Fear not. The man who brought the beats to the night’s famed “Fusion”—DJ Del Sol—has found a new Friday home, further up the House of the Sun. You guessed it: Casanova. “After all,” continues Cappelli, “Friday night is a very special night for everybody” (free for diners/$5 before 11pm/$10 after). Speaking of a special Friday night, West-bound folks won’t want to miss “Final Fridays Art Night” on Front Street. It’s coordinator extraordinaire Matt Lane’s last run at running the show, so while (also) sad, it’s going to be a great one. Gaze and graze from gallery to gallery as you nibble and sip on sweets, food and wine, provided by the area’s finest eateries. It is, well, art night in the “Art Capital of the Pacific,” so there’s tons of live art—all melodically accented by strolling street musicians (this month’s musical inclusions feature some talented ukuleleplaying Lunas). Plus, special performances at Sir Wilfred’s, and face painting provided by the Lahaina Art Society. (6-10pm, free). As for those sticking Central or South, the Kahului Ale House hosts local band Open Mynd (6-9pm, free), after which DJs will blast you back to the ’80s with “Flashback Fridays” (9pm, $10). And, at Ambrosia, every Friday is Fris Friday with Forrest, who spins until the go-home lights kick on. PHOTO BY ANGELINA HILLS
The Eazy are all about deep, layered songs with slow jazz and reggae beats, accompanied by earthy vocals that bring to mind a mature, less hormonally whackedout “Pepper.” And The Eazy has a great range within their style, making each song a completely new experiment instead of a collection of variations on the same thing. The band’s MySpace profile “about me” (and we all know how revealing those things can be) claims their ukulele-, keyboard-, bass- and drum-rich beats are for “f***ing, fighting or just experiencing the mystic of life, birth or death.” Someone has got all their bases covered. Listen to free mp3s online at myspace.com/theeasymaui to gear up for their upcoming performance at Charley’s. DJ Ooga Booga will open at 9:30pm. [Sierra Brown]

A potluck picnic lunch in Sprecklesville sure sounds nice, huh? More than the makings for a swell Saturday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the start of the Sierra Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting. Add to the fellowship a noontime panel discussion themed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sharing the Water,â&#x20AC;? and a feel-good awards ceremony for three of Mauiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do-gooders, and your afternoon is set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To express the gratitude of the community for the contributions made by those who work tirelessly to protect the natural and cultural treasures of Maui,â&#x20AC;? the Sierra Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Onipaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Awards (meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;to remain steadfast,â&#x20AC;? and as an aside, the personal motto of Queen Liliuokalani) will be presented to both a beloved Kula crackerjack, Professor Dick Mayer (whose history is too thick to squeeze into a sentence-long synopsis, and as another aside, was, like, totally my neighbor growing upâ&#x20AC;Ś big ups, Upcountry!), as well as to Kaupo farmer, noted Wailuku revitalizer and Maui Planning Commission chair, Jonathan Starr. Additionally, the Malama â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aina Award will be presented to Hawaiian cultural educator, Leiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ohu Ryder. Though if the panel topic of â&#x20AC;&#x153;sharing water,â&#x20AC;? makes you think of cooties, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think too hard about the Maui Wastewater Community Work Group (CWG) meeting, slated for next week Thursday (February 4). Actually, noâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;think a lot about it. And say something about it too! Gathering your input is their objective, and the 21-member group (convening for the fourth time since their formation in October 2009) invites you to attend from 1:30-4:30 at the Velma McWayne Santos Community Center in Wailuku.

Da Kine Calendar BIG SHOWS HI’IAKA: KA WAHINEPO’AIMOKU - Sat, Jan 30. Fans of Ho Pele Mai--the progressive, opera-length hula drama that changed the way hula is presented on stage--have long awaited its sequel, since its MACC debut in 1995. Saturday, that sequel arrives, from the famed Halau O Kekuhi of Hawai’i Island. Powerful storytelling, hula and chant tell the tale of Hi’iakaikapoliopele, the enchantress of Kilauea and favored sister (of 13) of fire goddess Pelehonuamea. She’s sent on a journey quest to fetch Lohi’au, the chief of Ha’ena, Kaua’i and Pele’s lover--but warned not to fall in love with him herself.. Hmm.. hula drama indeed! Through the mele, audiences will also witness the fall of the mo’o (gecko) god Pana’ewa, and enter the subconscious realm of Kapo’ulakina’u-another of the fabled sisters. See This Week’s Picks for more. Plus, check out Friday’s Events section for a listing regarding a free lecture conducted by members of the halau, where they share their in depth knowledge of the show’s the characters and stories. $12, $25, $40 adults / $6, $12.50, $20 keiki. 7:30 p.m. Castle Theater, MACC, One Cameron Way, Kahului; 808-242-7469; www.mauiarts.org ALPIN HONG - Sun, Jan 31. He’s good enough for This Week’s Picks, and here’s why: Hailed as a modern day Pied Piper, the <i>New York Times</i> calls him a “pianistic firebrand.” His Julliard-andbeyond training means his technical skill will undoubtedly amaze, but it’s the humor and youthful enthusiasm he infuses into his work--drawing upon his love of skateboarding, snowboarding, martial arts and gaming--that make his concerts unique. Oh, and while entertaining for anyone, ladies: he’s got the look of a sugar-polished Mortal Combat character (and brilliant to boot). Uh, ‘nuff said. Actually, I’ll add one more thing: there’s plenty of preshow festivities worth showing up for! Members of the Maui Youth Philharmonic Orchestra will perform from 3:45 - 4:30 and Consuelo’s Catering hooks up the grinds. $12, $25, $32 adults / $6, $12.50, $16 keiki. 5 p.m. Castle Theater, MACC, One Cameron Way, Kahului; 808-242-7469; www.mauiarts.org

One lonely night at his Wailea Mansion, he opens the door to find two mysterious visitors. He should’ve listened to his mother’s advice and not let any strangers in the house, because the two men turn out to be engaged in a plot to unburden him of his riches. He will have
to rely on his acting skills to weasel his way out of this particular mess. Check out the MauiVents Blog for more. 7:30 p.m. Gallerie Ha, 51 N. Market St., Wailuku; 808-244-3993; http://mauivents.com/ featured/wailea-robbery/

One of the hottest young musical protégés to emerge from Hawai‘i, on both the slack key and world music charts, Makana plays his own style of contemporary world rock. With a firm foundation in the traditions of ki ho‘alu — Hawaiian slack key guitar — Makana adds the influences of folk, rock, ethnic, bluegrass, jazz, traditional, ambient and classical music to create a style all his own. Known as a musical world time traveler, channeling inspirations from many places and times through his voice, fast fingers and guitar, Makana brings them together as one, with groundbreaking new works and reanimated classics. His music transcends category and trend by integrating eclectic elements from diverse musical sources into his traditional Hawaiian slack key, to create his arrangements. The result is pure innovation, and the charting of new sonic frontiers. $32. McCoy Studio Theater, MACC, One Cameron Way, Kahului; 808-242-7469; www.mauiarts.org PINK MARTINI - Thu, Mar 4.

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 281-1420 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

Horoscopes
sign.language.astrology@gmail.com AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make choices based on your weakest moments, but rather your strongest ones. If you always aim for only what you can accomplish when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at your worst, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much doneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least not much to be proud of. Strive for things you could only accomplish on your best days. Give yourself multiple opportunities to rise to challenges; lately it seems like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re setting up chances to keep the bar low, instead. By shooting for stuff you could only do while exercising your full potential, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re much more likely to failâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but you also create the possibility that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll succeed, wildly.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet of you to try to be gentle when sharing bad news or criticism. But you may just be making things worse. Subtlety and tact are great, but in this case, they might make someone miss the point entirely. How bad do you think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel when they ďŹ nally ďŹ gure out what you were trying to say all along? A lot worse than if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just said it outright. In this case, the kindest thing to do is be blunt and make sure your point comes across loud and clear. You can follow up with kinder words; soften the blow after itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been dealt, not before.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Appreciate your super powers. Compared to humans three centuries ago, you have plentyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you just take them for granted. You can ďŹ&#x201A;y, talk to virtually anyone anywhere on the planet whenever you want, ďŹ nd any information you need, and do only about a million other things our ancestors could barely imagine. When was the last time you appreciated all the things you could do? Take notice. Truly feeling grateful and lucky for all that you have will not only make you happier, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a better starting point to improve upon it than bitching and moaning about what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have ever could.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Being competitive is okay, as long as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too obsessed with winning. If occasionally coming in last, or even second place, is going to piss you off, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably better not to engage at all. If, however, you can enjoy the challenge without being too emotionally invested in the results, by all means go for it. This week should present any number of intoxicating chances to show off what you can do. And if someone can do that stuff better, consider it a chance to learn and improve, not stew and mope.
VOJU TQFDJBM
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Sure, you can show up at the hairdresser with no ideas, and convince the hairdresser to just â&#x20AC;&#x153;do anything,â&#x20AC;? but you probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like what you get, unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely talented and psychic. Going into any situation without a clear concept of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like out of it is generally a bad idea. Of course, going to the opposite extreme, and only being satisďŹ ed with something extremely speciďŹ c (and probably not achievable) isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to do you much good, either. Try to ďŹ nd the balance. Decide what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to aim for, but be happy, not disappointed, with a near miss.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) The scariest thing about darkness is what you imagine may be lurking within it. The vast majority of the time, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing there besides your own vivid fantasies. This is kind of like that. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very little light actually shining on this situation, so most of what you think you know about it is pure speculation. Guessing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiding in the shadowy nooks of your life hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten you very farâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;assuming you know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiding in this murky situation isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be much more successful. I suggest you turn on the light as soon as you can, to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really thereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and until then, just try not to let your imagination get the best of you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Knowing yourself is a strengthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but like all strengths it can become a weakness. How, you ask, could self-knowledge ever be a character ďŹ&#x201A;aw? When it starts holding you back. For instance when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so certain about who you are that change is virtually impossible. Then you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really grow, and you keep yourself from fantastic, enriching experiences. You may know who you were, but remember: who you are and will be is always changing, transforming, and expandingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or it should be. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let what you think you know about yourself keep you from becoming a better person or having a cooler life.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Sometimes your efforts to see someone clearly just fail; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too surrounded by the smoke and mirrors of their circumstances, habits, illusions, delusions, and baggage. Stop trying so hard. These are the kinds of barriers and camouďŹ&#x201A;age that get stripped away naturally, over timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but any efforts to tear them down prematurely often result in whole new smokescreens and diversions getting thrown up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably frustrating to have to wait around to see the real person so you can ďŹ gure out whether or not you really have a connectionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but in this case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s either that or walk away.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Life is full of disappointment. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inevitable. The only thing you can control about being let down is your reaction to it. Do you let it poison the rest of your day, week, or monthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or every similar situation until the end of time? Or do you feel bummed and then get over it, attacking each new experience fresh? Somehow, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten too caught up in your expectations lately, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making you sabotage situations that might just work out otherwise. Enjoy whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ďŹ rst time. Guess what? No matter what else you think, it is.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Throw something in a ďŹ re, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll burn. Of course, physical causal relationships are easier to master than social ones. However, the ramiďŹ cations of your words and actions should be obvious enough to be predictable. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still being regularly surprised by how people react to what you say and do, you need to examine your own perceptions. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just conclude that everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy. That may be so, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more likely that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just oblivious to how your words and actions are most likely to be received. Fix the way you see that stuff, and you might not be caught off guard so much this week.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be amazed at what a little extra sleep can do for you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to getting by without muchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and generally missing sleep doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold you back much. But being capable and functional is a far cry from the kinds of reserves of patience, ďŹ&#x201A;exibility, and energy getting enough rest would grant you. I know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to do, but make sure you give yourself enough time to recoup and recharge your batteries properly before you tackle each day this week. An extra hour or two is likely to make all the difference.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing to learn from past experiences, but another to trap yourself inside them. When approaching a new situation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had before, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to recall that one, and the choices that led to the results you experiencedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but mostly to avoid recreating it. Too many Caps inadvertently do the opposite; they end up doing whatever they did last time and generating roughly similar results. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already had that lesson; is it really important that you experience it again? I suppose if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting something different to happen while you do everything the same, it is. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for something new, though, attack each situation as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never happened to you before.

Distilled from East Maui Ti root, it is a lengthy process that includes a bit of aging in American Oak casks. Smooth, pleasant finish -- the perfect after dinner drink or holiday gift for that special someone that has everything! Haleakala Distillers reminds everyone to enjoy in moderation with aloha and, please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink and drive!
