THIS WEEK’S QUESTION

You’ve been forced into a choice between cannibalism and death. What three condiments do you want with your man steak?

Coconut Wireless has unkind things to say about religious lawyers. A federal ban on texting while driving is in the works—will that stop you? Rob Report asks Maui Petroleum about the source of their biodiesel and gets a big fat “no comment.”

LC Watch wonders about the Department of Liquor Control’s definition of success. A bejeweled penis pump penetrates News of the Weird. Fake cigs get snuffed in Plugs & Slugs. A reader calls for our tongues to be cut out in Editor’s Inbox. Eh Brah! wants to neuter the town stud.

A NOTE ON THE NEW LOOK As you’ve no doubt noticed, we went and mixed things up.

This comprehensive redesign is the first in a series of exciting developments in our print and Web editions, but don’t worry— we’re still the same old Maui Time you know and love, still the island’s only locally owned, independent newspaper, still dedicated to offbeat alternative journalism and comprehensive arts and entertainment coverage. (And yes, we’ve still got Eh Brah!) As ever, we’d love to hear your feedback. But before you start crying for things to go back to the way they were, remember: change is inevitable. And change can be very, very good.

Biofuel, BuckshotCO CONUT and Bloggers WIRE

HYPER LOCAL This week’s Rob Report discusses, among other things, a mystery surrounding the source of the biofuel Kahului-based Maui Petroleum has been contracted to provide the county. For details check out the Report (page 7), but I’ll add a thought-provoking wrinkle: what if oil companies had to reveal the source of their fuel, similar to the way food, clothing and other consumer products are labeled? To be fair, I didn’t come up with the idea. It’s being trumpeted by Growth Energy, an ethanol advocacy group headed by former presidential candidate Wesley Clark. “The American people deserve to know more about the gasoline they purchase every day—where it comes from and where their hard-earned dollars ultimately go every time they fill up their cars and trucks,” said Clark in a September press release. “Requiring country of origin labeling of our fuel supply will empower consumers with the knowledge and ability to make informed decisions.”

Though many experts say ethanol is at best a stopgap and at worst a resource-diverting, Midwest farmer-placating waste—calling into question Growth Energy’s central mission—the idea of drivers being forced to read the words “Saudi Arabia” as they feed their gas-guzzlers is intriguing… Our thoughts are with the family of 20-yearold Na‘ilima Kana, who died last week along with his brother, Jared, and another passenger, Tyson Latham, from injuries sustained in a car accident in Waihee. Kana was a producer at Akaku and worked as an editor on the Maui Daily segment, in which Maui Time makes a weekly appearance. In a statement posted on Akaku’s Web site, station President Jay April called Kana a “bright light” whose “enormous talent…far exceeded his years.”…

buckshot, apparently in the hope that if she bloodies enough people on the way out, her legacy will be preserved. Teachers, legislators, us evil media types—no one has escaped unscathed. This week’s target: the state’s four island mayors. According to a Honolulu Advertiser report, Lingle says contract talks with the Hawaii Government Employees Association have stalled because no mayor will sign on, as is required before the union can hold a vote. The Advertiser says Lingle blames the holdup on “issues involving the counties that have nothing to do with the state.”

Exactly what the hell that means is unclear.

What is clear: we’ve got issues… Even as Hawaii Tourism Authority ramps up promotion efforts on the Mainland, efforts that include “everything from bloggers to freeway billboards” according to a Pacific Business News dispatch, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) clamped down on bloggers who receive free goodies. For years, it’s been an open secret that bloggers get products and services in exchange for writing reviews; sometimes the reviews are legit, sometimes they’re transparent fluff. But there was no disclosure requirement—until now.

On October 5, the FTC announced that bloggers have to indicate what and how much they’ve been given by the companies

I’ve always found the phrase “Godfearing” to be simultaneously sad and telling. It’s not “God-loving” or “Godrevering”; rather, the motive for worship is all too often fear. (Wade through the sea of smiting that is the Old Testament and you begin to understand.) I bring this up because of a press release from the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) that recently landed in my inbox. For those unfamiliar, PJI is a legal organization that claims to champion “religious freedom.” The group’s president, Brad Dacus, has defended, among other noble clients, a group of students in Bakersfield, California who tried to boycott a gay teacher’s class and a Nebraska family that had their teenage son’s girlfriend arrested for getting an abortion, according to a September report in the East Bay Express. Anyway, the release outlines a case currently being considered by the D.C. District Court of Appeals in which a collection of atheist organizations is suing to end the practice of reciting prayers and swearing to God at the Presidential Inauguration. Whether this is a battle worth fighting is open to debate, but PJI doesn’t merely dismiss the case as frivolous, it dismisses the entire secular community. Quoted in the release, Dacus calls “atheists, humanists and freethinkers” a “tiny minority in America” and says the “the vast majority of God-fearing citizens and public officials” should not “be silenced in order to appease them.” “Tiny minority,” huh? Interesting, because according to a study by Trinity College of Connecticut’s Program on Public Values previously mentioned in this space, 15 percent of Americans identify as either atheists or agnostics. If that’s a “tiny minority,” it makes other ethnic and religious minorities virtually nonexistent. Though, come to think of it, maybe that’s exactly what Dacus and PJI want. ■

Tough Cell

Using your phone while driving isn’t illegal in Maui County, but a federal law could change that.

Do we need to be protected from ourselves?

F

irst a confession: I’ve done it. Odds are you’ve done it too, as have most of your friends. And, though experts agree it’s unsafe and even potentially deadly, it’s completely legal in Maui County.

Texting while driving is a practice that’s grown along with the profusion of cell phones. Various studies have come to various conclusiotns about exactly how dangerous it is to type a text message while behind the wheel (or to talk on a cell phone in general). But nobody argues it’s safe, and many say it’s as bad as driving drunk.

Earlier this year, the Honolulu City Council passed a bill banning the use of all mobile electronic devices while driving, with exemptions given to emergency workers, drivers whose jobs require the use of two-way radios and people using hands-free devices or calling 911. The law slaps drivers with a $67 fine for the first offense. A similar ban on the Big Island is set to take effect January 1.

What about Maui? Lt. Wallace Tom of the Maui Police Department said that, while his department discourages the practice, with no law to enforce there’s little they can do. Asked if a county law is in the works, Councilmember Gladys Baisa said nothing is

Intuitively it makes sense that if people know something’s illegal, they’re at least slightly less likely to do it. imminent, but the issue has been discussed.

Baisa said the council is monitoring the situation on Oahu, and may use it as a litmus test to see if a ban could work here, and if so how best to craft one.

“Nothing is as simple as it appears,” she said, adding that she would have to study

the issue further to form an opinion pro or con. Baisa said that, obviously, if a state or federal prohibition were put into effect, the county would have to honor it.

Though various bills introduced at the state level have stalled, a federal effort

spearheaded by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer has made its way to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. If passed, the Avoiding Life-Endangering and Reckless Texting By Drivers Act of 2009 would give states a choice: ban texting while driving or lose 25 percent of federal highway funds.

It’s a heavy-handed approach that will raise the hackles of state’s rights advocates, but it’s pretty clear it would get results.

The question is whether these laws, once passed, are effective. The answer seems to be that it’s too early to tell, but intuitively it makes sense that if people know something’s illegal, they’re at least slightly less likely to do it.

In a perfect world, this stuff wouldn’t be necessary. People would police themselves and make the smartest, safest possible choices. That we don’t, in fact, live in a perfect world is not news to anyone.

AAA spokesman Robert Sinclair, quoted in an October 4 newsday.com report, may have put it best: “It’s upsetting that people are so dumb we have to make a law in the first place.” ■

Renewable Rundown What’s the status of Hawaii’s push for energy independence?

There’s good news and bad news…

A

few items of interest on the renewable energy (RE) front bubbled to the surface this week.

Since the Energy Expo a month ago, I’ve been following a curious cover-up locally by Big Oil. There’s also more news of government bureaucracy gumming up the works. On the plus side is a promising ruling by the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) that should help give power to the people.

The Good Following the lead of top solar and wind producers in Spain and Germany, a new PUC ruling opens the way for homeowners and businesses to produce their own power and sell excess to the utility, through a mechanism referred to as a “feed-in tariff” (FIT). Vermont set up a similar system last week, and Oregon’s FIT kicks in next April.

Though the rates a small power producer will be paid still have to be worked out by the commission, the model will help reduce a lengthy application process and provide certainty of payback rate. The rates are expected to be set high enough to incentivize electrical providers, but not so high that rate payers will be overburdened.

At present, net-metering programs allow homeowners with solar photovoltaic systems, for example, to produce excess power, spinning their meter backwards and reducing their monthly bill as the energy goes into the utility grid. But under current guidelines, they can’t be compensated for any excess electricity they generate.

Four RE technologies could qualify for FIT rates: photovoltaic, onshore wind, concentrated solar thermal and hydroelectric.

Solar PV will likely benefit the most people, since it’s most readily available.

Producers may generate up to 5 megawatts on Oahu, and 2.72 MW on Maui and the Big Island. Initially, the total amount of FIT projects is limited to 5 percent of the grid’s capacity, and will be reviewed again by the PUC after two years. This should allow the utility time to integrate new sources into its grid, and even Hawaiian Electric Co. has expressed support. For the most fossil-fuel dependent state in the U.S., this is good news.

The Bad Last Friday, Maui Electric Co. announced that it’s asked the PUC for a 9.7 percent rate increase, to take effect next year. The average monthly residential electric bill could go up by nearly $14, while MECO says an additional $28 million in revenue yearly could be raised. A 3.7 percent rate increase went into effect in 2007.

MECO is rolling out a $122 million capital improvement program that looks

to support a wide array of maintenance upgrades, from tree-trimming near utility lines to new and expanded substations.

Modernization of the Ma‘alaea Generating Station is also projected, as is a 100-kilowatt PV system for MECO’s Kahului baseyard.

The drawback in the request is the difficulty for Maui County residents to participate in the PUC proceedings.

Ideally, a series of public meetings should

time even reading the report it is supposed to comment on in the time given. You’d have to read about 100 pages each day for the next nine days and then rush out a response.”

But DBEDT’s Ted Peck refuted the criticism

be held on Maui, Molokai and Lanai to explain the details of the proposal, and to hear input for alternatives.

Should the community find MECO plans are lacking in scope or specificity, a contested case hearing is possible, though that would be a daunting, time-consuming endeavor.

The commission hasn’t visited Maui since May 2008, when MECO asked for a small monthly surcharge to finance future, yet unspecified, renewable energy infrastructure.

On another forefront, the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), the lead agency for implementing the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, recently took a big step backwards regarding public inclusion in the process. On September 23, I received an e-mail (as a past attendee of planning sessions in Honolulu) that the draft Hawaii Bioenergy Master Plan (BEMP) was ready for review, and that comments must be submitted by October 2.

The Master Plan draft was linked with ten separate pdf files, totaling 849 pages—yet with just nine days for the public to review!

Larry Geller, on his Disappeared News blog, elaborated, “The public will have a hard

in a comment left on Geller’s site.

“Instead of nine days, the public has had 16 months,” wrote Peck, “and will have 3 more months and of course plenty of opportunity during next year’s session. I believe any assertion that the process hasn’t been and doesn’t continue to be without opportunity for public comment is without merit.”

Once promising as a way to reduce our dependence on petroleum, biofuels and bioenergy have now lost some of their luster. Costs for local production in Hawaii may never make it viable, and importations come with shocking news of ecosystem devastation and human rights violations in major growing regions such as Central and South America and Southeast Asia and rising food costs from the food vs. fuel controversy.

The Ugly Last month’s Maui County Energy Expo provided a two-day pep rally and information exchange for RE enthusiasts.

One audience questioner asked panelists if

LCWATCH DEFINING SUCCESS Some of the most interesting moments at Liquor Control meetings happen on the margins, when board members and department officials aren’t directly addressing the cases at hand, but other, tangential topics that arise from them.

For example: while considering the fate of Paia Shell at the September Adjudication hearing, Chairman Donald Fujii asked Director Frank Silva (pictured, in pirate form) about the success rate of the department’s minor decoy program. Silva responded that it’s more than 90 percent.

I was taken aback, until I realized Silva was defining “success” not as a bust but a non-bust: when a minor decoy (his cop chaperone in tow) enters an establishment, attempts to purchase liquor and is turned away.

Granted, that definition is in keeping with the department’s stated mission: “[T]o protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public by regulating and controlling the liquor industry…”

But ultimately, what this means is that if the minor decoy program is fully “successful,” it ceases to be relevant.

Not only that, such a scenario calls into question the usefulness of the Adjudication Board as a whole. Put it this way: without minor decoy stings, the board would have considered a whopping three cases this year.

Perhaps the LC’s punitive arm truly does want to see itself made irrelevant—anything’s possible. A more plausible explanation is that calling non-busts a “success” puts a happy spin on things, and sustains the myth that the department is looking out for the greater good.

Continued from page 7 government could support local RE businesses, so the state’s push for renewables doesn’t create a huge influx of Mainland companies moving in to reap the benefits.

DBEDT Director Ted Liu responded that the legislature approved not just a preference, but an actual “set aside,” meaning government agencies must first contract with locally produced renewables.

I watched as Kelly King of Pacific Biodiesel made a beeline to talk to Liu after he spoke.

King told me that Maui County recently

a call to Maui Petroleum. I was shocked by the response to my inquiry: “What business is it of yours?” shot back an unidentified man who took the call.

I explained that I believe it’s in the public interest, especially since taxpayer dollars are involved. “I think we only have to explain that to the County, because we are doing business with them,” the employee responded before adding, “it’s none of your business.”

Earlier this week, I asked Maui Time editor Jacob Shafer to try his luck at getting the information. As I sat in his office, the

Maui Petroleum: just because you’ve built a statewide empire on fossil fuel profits, that doesn’t grant you a free pass. switched their B-20 (20 percent biodiesel, 80 percent petroleum diesel) fuel contract for the Wailuku Public Works baseyard from Aloha Petroleum to Maui Petroleum.

Instead of using locally produced Pacific Biodiesel for their B-20 blend, as Aloha Petroleum has for the past four years, Maui Petroleum apparently was importing biodiesel from an unnamed source.

Liu told King that if that was true, she could file a protest over the contract. King said she has contacted the Mayor’s Office and Economic Development, but is still awaiting a response. King told me that while she doubts Maui Petroleum could import biodiesel for less than the cost of locally produced fuel, she is concerned over possible predatory pricing from Mainland companies. “Either way,” said King, “the info about the state rule needs to get out so that other businesses can benefit as well.”

Curious as to where the mysterious imported biodiesel originated, I placed

conversation with the Maui Petroleum official was even shorter. “We’re not discussing that with anyone,” said a man who didn’t identify himself but sounded like the same employee, before abruptly hanging up.

It begs the question—what are they trying to hide? Their evasiveness only heightens suspicions that they’re importing biodiesel from an unscrupulous source: Malaysian palm oil, South American soybeans or other areas where rainforests have been wiped out, replaced with mono-crop agribusiness operations covering hundreds of thousands of acres.

Maui Petroleum: just because you’ve built a statewide empire on fossil fuel profits, that doesn’t grant you a free pass. (We’ll keep digging and see if we can get to the bottom of this.)

STRANGE STRIP Beneath the luxury hotels on the Las Vegas Strip is a series of flood tunnels that are home to dozens of people who work odd jobs such as hustling leftover change in casino slot machines. A correspondent for London’s The Sun gained the trust of a few and even photographed their “apartments” for a September dispatch, showing well-stocked quarters, with scrounged appliances and furniture and even one makeshift shower rigged from a water cooler. “Amy,” who has lived in the tunnels with her husband, “J.R.,” for two years, said she “love[s]” the Vegas lifestyle and appears in no hurry to leave her setup. “Kathryn” (who lives with boyfriend “Steven”) also appears content except, she says, for the fragrance, the black widow spiders and the periodic rush of water through her home (threatening any “valuables” not stacked on crates).

THE BIG CREDITOR IN THE SKY David Cerullo came to prominence after purchasing the television studios abandoned by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker and established what is perhaps the boldest of all Christian “prosperity gospel” ministries (that pays him an annual base salary of $1.52 million). With his father, semi-retired Pentecostal preacher Morris Cerullo, he assures followers that the more they give, the more God will return to them. In a recent TV spot, Morris, speaking first in tongues and then addressing the currently credit-challenged: “When you [donate], the windows of heaven...open for you...100 fold.” (The on-screen message: “Call now with your $900 offering and receive God’s debt cancellation!”)

DON’T TELL THE LC The cheap-drink Tuesday night special at the Attic bar in Newcastle, England, in early September was a money-back guarantee at the end of the night to anyone who could still legally drive (measured by the bar’s breathalyzer), with the evening’s most-alcohol-saturated customer drinking free the following week. The Newcastle City Council soon convinced the bar it was a bad idea.

HIS WIFE HAS A PLATINUM DIAPHRAGM Canadian medical appliance manufacturer X4 Labs, which sells a peniselongating traction device for around $400, disclosed in August that it is making a solid gold version on contract for a Saudi businessman. The buyer claimed he required gold only because of allergies, but then also ordered it ornamented with diamonds and rubies, according to an August Agence France-Presse report. X4’s cachet as a medical-appliance supplier is expected to get the device past Saudi customs, which normally bans sex toys.

HOMELAND INSECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (relying on a study later termed by the Government Accounting Office to have been rushed and flawed) decided in January that the best place for its new $700 million research facility on infectious diseases would be in Kansas, which happens to be in the heart of America’s “tornado alley.” The GAO report, leaked to the Washington Post in July, claimed the risk of accidental release of dangerous pathogens is far greater than the department assumed.

INEVITABLE DEMISE A 45-year-old devout Catholic was killed recently in Vienna, Austria, shortly after a harrowing experience on a stuck elevator.

The man had been so traumatized that, following his rescue, he went straight to the Weinhaus Church to give thanks. However, as he approached the altar, an 850-pound stone pillar fell and crushed him.

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS Ricky Dale Ford was jailed in September in Conway, Ark., accused of stealing an all-terrain vehicle.

WE DON’T WANT TO HEAR ‘LINGLE’ AND ‘BUSH’ IN THE SAME SENTENCE Lingle’s ineptitude in managing our money is legendary. As you point out, she spends millions planning the new prison and then abruptly yanks it because many people have pointed out things that need to be changed in the plan [Coconut Wireless, October 1]. But she singles out Senator Shan Tsutsui from Wailuku.

Why? Because Shan is an intelligent, hardworking and popular Democrat and a rising star in the legislature. Pure and simple, Lingle did this to try and undermine Tsutsui’s popularity with Maui voters. I don’t think it will work, though, because by now, pretty much everyone knows what a liar, cheater and special interests Bush clone she is.

rand Master. It’s a heavy term, and one that—until now—I think I’ve tossed about with embarrassing frivolity.

Applied in the real world, the title is no novelty, no Hollywood prevarication.

Despite my personal interest in and study of the martial way and its masters, it took meeting one to begin to understand that, while earning title of Grand Master may be the ultimate honor, it also bears the weight of the ultimate responsibility.

In the case of 21st Grand Master Sekiguchi Komei Sensei, that responsibility strikes a hard balance.

Head of the Komei Juku school of samurai swordsmanship, he’s charged with perpetuating the ancient art of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaijutsu to its most historic detail, breathing life into the school and its forms (waza) and seeing to its development.

In his 32 years as Grand Master, Sekiguchi Sensei has founded more than 20 schools internationally, each dedicated the study of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaijutsu—one of the bestdocumented schools of Japanese swordsmanship in the world, founded in the 16th century by Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu.

Attending to his schools and providing demonstrations at the behest of historians and enthusiasts around the world, Sekiguchi Sensei has traveled to over 50 countries. And this month, he returns to Maui thanks to the efforts of local, 21st century samurai under his tutelage. aui’s Komei Juku school was the third school opened

by Sekiguchi Sensei and serves as the headquarters for Iaijutsu in the United States (Komei Juku Beikoku Honbu). Directing the school locally is Robert W. Montgomery —lovingly called “Bob Sensei,” by his dedicated students—along with his ultra-skilled right-hand man, Guy Junker.

Montgomery lived in Tokyo for seven years prior to moving to Maui

in 1994, training under and traveling with Sekiguchi Sensei, and adding to his four-plus decades of intense study of Japanese martial arts. Among many accolades, in 1993, Montgomery was given the name Sekiguchi Kenshin by Sekiguchi Sensei, and in 2008 received the Nihon Bkunka Award from the Japanese Cultural Society of Maui for his “contributions to preserve and perpetuate Japanese culture on Maui.”

Twice weekly, Montgomery and Junker hold rigorous training sessions at the museum-like Maui Okinawan Kenjin Kai in Wailuku. Sensei and students alike dress in traditional, feudal-era Japanese garb—an intricate garment consisting of a heavy dogi top, the wide, tightly-cinched obi belt, and long, pleated hakama pants—the straps of which also affix the sword to the body, pulled across and flat along the waist and finished with a looping, cross-shaped bow.

Sekiguchi Sensei visits Maui, part of his quest to preserve an ancient art

By Anu Yagi

In the dojo, the decorum is precise.

Among lots of bowing (upon entering and leaving the premises, when speaking to or training with another student, or just for general niceness), one of the most beautiful, ceremonial elements of training comes at the opening and close of the training sessions, when respect is paid first to the sword, then to fellow students and finally to the teachers and masters of the present and past. In closing, the honors are done in reverse, lastly bowing to the sword.

While rankings are given, the hierarchy of the class is structured by the length of time dedicated to study rather than skill or aptitude.

During the time when respect is paid to the blade and to comrades, practitioners form two lines on either side of a flag bearing the school’s mon, the lineup zigzagging in order of service-based rank.

This structure originated so that the

masters at the head could keep their most trusted students close at hand for counsel.

Traditionally, the master would assume the center position between and at the head of the two lines. Anyone desiring to speak with the master must approach him from between the rows of students, who are ready to defend at the slightest move of provocation.

Though Montgomery leads the school’s day-to-day operations, and though Sekiguchi Sensei only visits Maui annually (if that), Montgomery never assumes the head position. “That place is reserved for him.

Sekiguchi Sensei is always here with us in spirit,” says Montgomery.

For ten days this month, beginning October 1 and ending October 10, that spirit will take human form. On the second night of his stay on Maui, I observed Sekiguchi Sensei as he assumed the space with quiet, comfortable authority, flicking the wide-

legged pleats of his deep blue hakama as he quickly settled into seiza, a position seated on the knees. here is a stillness to Sekiguchi Sensei’s that, as much as it might seem appropriate for a samurai grand master, is nonetheless shocking.Yet in action he has an explosive fluidity that I didn’t expect to see in the subtle forms of Iaijutsu.

Eyes focused and unwavering, Sekiguchi Sensei speaks—at great length, in deep, eventoned Japanese—about how Iaijutsu, though shaped in warfare, is ultimately about peace.

“In our movements [of the sword], we must express world peace,” he says through translator and student Eddie Maiwa.

“We should look for the things we have in common and not look at how we are different from each other,” he says. “We should not differentiate between our nationalities or

There is a stillness to Sekiguchi Sensei that, as much as it might seem appropriate for a samurai grand master, is nonetheless shocking.

races… Iaijutsu can be a common bond between people of all ages.”

A common bond indeed. The Maui students vary from young children to seniors, from artists to teachers to salespeople to scuba instructors. The class is a classic Maui mixed-bag, and the camaraderie and genuine affection among the students fills the high ceilings of the dojo with what feels like sunshine.

Meanwhile, outside the sky has grown dark. Weary lines are drawn across the faces of the students who have trained hard tonight, Sekiguchi Sensei relentlessly instructing them, “mou ichido,”— “again”—more times than I could count.

After paying respects and closing the class, Sekiguchi gives a quick, fond farewell before departing, declining dinner.

Lingering long after the last students have left and the dojo has been locked down for

the night, I chat with Junker and Maiwa in the parking lot.

“Sekiguchi has a hard life,” Maiwa says, his Japanese accent thick. “There are no masters anymore. They are going extinct! It is such a big responsibility to know everything. Not everything, but mostly everything.

“What happens when Bob Sensei cannot do this anymore? When Guy Sensei is busy with his business?” he asks. “When I must work? Who does it then?”

It’s a question that plagues students, and—even within inner circles—seems to have no concrete answer. Contentment rests only in the fact that, for this diverse, growing school, the future appears bright— and at its head, a true master. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.smub.it/feature12

raught with intrigue and historical significance, “The Iron Knife” is among the most intriguing sagas of Hawaiian oral tradition. Preserved by King David Kalakaua in his book, The Legends and Myths of Hawai’i – The Fables and Folk-Lore of a Strange People, the tale draws a captivating connection between the Japanese and early Hawaiians that predates Captain James Cook by over 500 years.

Originally published in 1888, “The Iron Knife” is set in the early 13th century and tells of the first—and most “disastrous”—“attempt to consolidate under one general government the several islands of the Hawaiian group,” as endeavored by the king of the island of Hawaii, Kalaunuiohua (Kalaunui). As Kalaunui readied his army of 12,000 for an invasion of Maui, the king could not have fathomed the fierce talisman that awaited him: a mysterious foreign implement being kept discretely on the Valley Isle, arguably the first piece of metal brought to Hawaii.

Two years prior to Kalaunui’s invasion (which Waipio’s revered prophetess, Waahia, warned would be “Good in the beginning! [B]ad in the end!”), news had been brought to Wakalana, principal chief of the Maui’s windward end, that a bizarre, capsized vessel was moving toward the coast. Led by Wailuku’s Wakalana, five survivors were pulled from the wreckage just before “the last fragment of the wreck disappear[ed] in the abyss of raging waters.”

The three men and two women who survived are described as “white, with bright, shining eyes,” and though stripped “almost without clothing,” the wrecked ship’s captain—his Hawaiian name recounted in legend as Kaluiki— did manage to preserve his sword.

“No such terrible knife had ever before been seen or dreamed of by the natives… the long, sharp sword of the captain, harder than bone or seasoned wood, and from its polished surface throwing defiantly back the bright rays of the sun, engaged their ceaseless wonder and admiration… [W]hen they learned it was a weapon of war they felt that the arm that wielded it in battle must be unconquerable.” As word of the weapon spread, islanders from far and wide came to catch a glimpse. Within a short time, “it began to be mentioned as a sacred gift of the gods.”

Returning to Kalaunui’s invasion:

the army from the island of Hawaii landed in Lahaina. Leading the battle was the young pukaua, or captain, Kualu, a strapping warrior reared by the mysterious Waahia.

Kamaluohua, the moi of Maui, learned of the onslaught and gave a call to arms to the district chiefs of the island. Wakalana and his men responded with 800 strong, including the Japanese captain Kaluiki— brandishing his revered blade.

However, the Maui assembly was vastly outnumbered. Kamaluohua was captured, and his allied forces driven deeper into the mountains.

There, at the close of the battle, the young Kualu encountered Kaluiki, who headed the last stronghold of defense—a mere 200 men defiantly lodged behind a low stonewall.

Striking it away from Kaluiki, he “thrust the sword into the earth, pressing it downward until the hilt was covered,” before marking the spot with a large stone and counting his steps as he left the body-strewn field. During the sunset sacrifices celebrating their success, Kualu sought Waahia and shared with her word of the strange sword.

Recognizing its value and fearing that Kalaunui would learn of the weapon and claim possession himself, Waahia implored Kualu to immediately lead her to the hiding place. With the sword in her possession, Waahia continued along with the advancing army—which brought the battle to Molokai against the alii-nui Kahokuohua—and hid it “in a cleft in the black rocks of the pali encircling Kalaupapa,” where the battle ensued.

Taking Molokai, the army pressed further and conquered Oahu, capturing the chief Huapouleilei of the Ewa and Waianae districts.

However, Kalaunui continued on to Kauai without fortifying his conquests and “greatly underrated the military abilities of Kukona [the moi of Kauai], as he overrated his own.”

Waahia divined ill fortune of the battle to come. Though she foresaw the crippling defeat of the army of Kalaunui, she advised her beloved Kualu to continue, trusting his warrior skill and telling him “circumstances will open a way and you will escape.”

When Kualu asked of “the long knife,” Waahia replied, “[It] is where I alone can find it. Leave the secret to me; it will be of service to us yet.”

Good to the Bone Authentic Southern-style rib joint smokes up Wailuku BJ’s Ribs & BBQ

“

t’s the same old story,” says Bill Jones as he places a Styrofoam container laden with aromatic barbeque on the picnic table in front of me. “I couldn’t find ribs the way I like them, so I had to make them myself.”

Last month, Jones set up BJ’s Ribs & BBQ in the lot across from the Iao Theater in Wailuku. He’s working in conjunction with Chuck Harron, whose Island Tacos stand is a fixture in that spot. Jones has big plans: he wants to build a stage for live music, move into a permanent, indoor location by next year and eventually turn his operation into a statewide franchise. “That’s my dream,” he says, flashing a smile that tells you he means business.

Bill Jones goes to work.

For now, the digs are humble. But what about the food? The ribs, which I dive into first, are flavorful and fall-off-the-bone tender. The sauce is slightly sweet but doesn’t overpower the meat, smoked with kiawe and charcoal. On the side I opt for baked beans—sweetened with pineapple— and cole slaw. My dining companion gets the sausage plate, a spicy link on a bun that also comes with two sides.

Those packing a king-sized appetite can get a full rack of ribs. Smaller plates are also available, and if you ask nicely Jones—who’s been on-island for about two years and retains a bold, Southern charm—might even give you a taste for free (no promises). He admits he’s just starting out and that these first weeks are crucial. “Word of mouth can make you or break you on Maui,” he says. If there’s any justice, BJ’s will make it. ■

Hawaii, to her secluded home among the pueo of Waipio, Waahia learned that her prediction had come to pass.

Kalaunui’s army had been slaughtered and the king had been captured by Kauai’s Kukona, along with the royal captives of Maui, Moloka’i and Oahu.

Because Kukona had no ambition of ruling the islands, he immediately released all but Kalaunui, “secur[ing] the lasting friendship of the chiefs of Oahu, Maui, and Moloka’i.”

Kaheka, Kalaunui’s queen, was grief-stricken by the news and when Kualu—one of the few survivors from the battle—returned, she condemned him for “cowardice and order[ed] him from the palace.” This banishment was a particular blow to Kualu, as it meant certain end to his romantic connection with Kapapa, the daughter of Kalaunui and Kaheka. When he learned that Kalaunui was still alive, he rejoiced at the opportunity to liberate him and regain his respect—and the hand of Kapapa. Waahia, however, warned that this would take time, and they relocated to Molokai’s Kalaupapa where the blade still lay hidden.

Eventually, after consistent denial of trade negotiations with Kauai, Kauai’s king sought the counsel of Waahia, still on Molokai with Kualu. Kaheka and her counselors agreed to Waahia’s terms: that she would attempt the liberation of the Hawaii island monarch alone—and that, should she be successful, her yet undisclosed demands would be met.

Waahia arrived on Kauai during the five-day feast of the festival of Lono and presented herself to Kukona, offering these words:

“Oh the long knife of the stranger, Of the stranger from other lands, Of the stranger with sparkling eyes, Of the stranger with a white face!

O long knife of Lono, the gift of Lono; It flashes like fire in the sun; Its edge is sharper than stone; Sharper than the hard stone of Hualalai; The spear touches it and it breaks, The strong warrior sees it and dies!

Where is the long knife of the stranger?

Where is the sacred gift of Lono?

It came to Wailuku and is lost, It was seen at Lahaina and cannot be found.

He is more than a chief who finds it, He is a chief of chiefs who possess it…

O long knife of the stranger, O bright knife of Lono!

Who has seen it? Who has found it?

Has it been hidden away in the earth?

Has the great sea swallowed it?

Does the kilo see it among the stars?

Can the kaula find it in the bowels of the black hog?

Will a voice from the anu answer?

Will the priests of Lono speak?

The kilo is silent, the kaula is dumb.

O long knife of the stranger, O bright knife of Lono, It is lost, it is lost, it is lost!”

Rumor of the weapon had already reached and intrigued Kukona.

Having failed to recover it, he agreed to Waahia’s demands—including the release of Kalaunui and the marriage of Kualu to Kapapa. Within three days Waahia returned to Molokai to inform Kualu of what she had accomplished and to recover the blade from its hiding place and deliver it to Kauai.

As for the iron knife? “The sword of Kaluiki, the ransom of a king, remained for some generations with the descendents of Kukona; but what became of it in the end tradition fails to tell.”

The original preface of The Legends and Myths of Hawai’i introduces Kalakaua’s compilation as “legends… selected as the most striking and characteristic of what remains of the fabulous folklore of the Hawaiian group.” In the book’s forward by the late Glen Grant, the reader is cautioned that with “any literary treatment of oral traditions, there is always a large measure of artistic license, especially when the work is so closely tied to nationalistic as well as political movements.”

Grant draws specific correlation between these “nationalistic,” and “political movements” in relationship to the story of “The Iron Knife.” Around the time Kalakaua translated these stories in his baroque, Gothic style, Japan’s “rapid industrialization and modernization since 1868, [had it] emerging as a force to be reckoned with in the Pacific.”

Kalakaua was “[t]he first royal monarch in history to circumnavigate the globe,” and in his travels of Asia, was “[g]ranted a private audience with the Emperor Meiji [and] accorded the privilege of being the first person to ever publicly shake the hand of the ‘son of heaven.’”

Kalakaua initiated the allowance of “single Japanese males to immigrate to Hawaii for the purpose of working on the sugar plantations,” in an (unsuccessful) effort to “increase Hawaiian birthrate through intermarriage.”

But, in private negotiations with the Emperor, Kalakaua— well aware of the “American expansionists… clamor[ing] for the annexation of the islands”—also proposed a “startling scheme: [where] Japan’s monarch would become the ruler of an empire called Oceania, which would unite the Polynesian and Asian races against white colonialism.” The Emperor, wary of Western reaction, “politely” declined.

While Grant postulates that a “desire to arouse the animosity of American expansionists may have motivated Kalakaua to include the Hawaiian legend of ‘The Iron Knife’,” the story is still an enthralling, pre-plantation connection between Hawaiian and Japanese cultures.

And, serendipitously so, the infamous blade made it’s first appearance in Wailuku, a place that, nearly 750 years later, modern swordsmen of all backgrounds, circumstance and inspiration still call home. ■

t’s a rainy Friday night and Wailuku is awash with streetlights and the shiny sleekness of wet pavement. The rain has granted the town an unusually serene coolness. That is, until you step into Eha’s.

The air inside Eha’s is hot, sticky and almost electric with the buzz of excited bar-goers. It’s standing-room only at the bar, where patrons clamor for the attention of Tami, the bartender and big dog of Eha’s. Suddenly, down the street there’s a roar like a vengeful Viking god.

“Bikers!” Tami shouts over the din, and the whole bar explodes into applause.

Moments later, the bar is filled with tall men, wiping rain off their leather jackets.

And somewhere, in the center of all this happy chaos, is a band called Bad Kitty.

The five-member group is illuminated by the camera flashes of a girls’-night-out group. Occasionally, they cheese it up for the camera. Bad Kitty strikes up another song and murmurs of, “I love this song” and “Wow, I haven’t heard this one in forever,” are soon drowned out by a raucous, drunken sing-along. On “The First Cut is the Deepest” (originally by Cat Stevens, recently reincarnated by Sheryl Crow) singer Marci’s pristine voice is accompanied by the notso-pristine (but enthusiastic) voices of the girls nearest to the band. (Trust me on this one, when a drunken girl yowls out “The fiiiiirst cut is the deeeepest, baaaaby,” you can really feel the anguish. Really.)

Next, Joette, with her raven curls and smile like a Saturday night, belts out Alanis Morrisette’s “Hand in My Pocket.” When the band begins to purr Guns N’ Roses’

playing for the sheer enjoyment of it. It’s like turning on the radio and hearing a litany of your favorite songs—it just makes you feel good. If you’re wondering about the name, it’s not derived from Barney and Joette’s other band, the Kool Kats. Instead, it’s just what the band decided on, after much discussion. It wasn’t until after the moniker was chosen that they noticed the feline parallel.

I recently chatted with Joette, who’s fun, positive and easy to talk to. She and her husband spent 15 years on the road and in Las Vegas before settling down in Maui. When I asked what she thought about Maui’s music scene, she had nothing but good things to say. “Maui’s scene is happening and I love how the local bands are all supportive of each other and are such a tight knit community.”

A veteran musician who’s had a full-time career for more than two decades, Joette has this advice for young musicians: “Don’t let anyone discourage you. Don’t believe them when they say you can’t make money from making music. Don’t believe them when they say music isn’t a real job.”

On October 24, Bad Kitty will play Eha’s weekend-long breast cancer benefit event, which is being organized by Tami (see myspace.com/ehaspoolbar for info).

With Erin Smith and Mojomana also on the bill, the bar is guaranteed to once again be hot, sticky—and rockin.’ ■

Film Critique

Braaaains!

Horror/comedy breathes life into the undead Zombieland

★★★★★ Rated R/88 min.

T

he idea of a zombie—a mindless, drooling cannibal that could have once been someone you love—is so ghastly, it’s no wonder it took filmmakers a while to develop a sense of humor about them. Now, four decades after George A. Romero’s still-disturbing Night of the Living Dead, we have Shaun of the Dead, Max Brook’s bestselling novel World War Z and Zombieland offering big laughs along with nightmarish visions of an apocalyptic future.

In a time close to the present, the upcoming movie 2012 is playing in an abandoned theater. Meanwhile, zombies have munched through most of mankind, with the last men standing being a nerdy but resourceful zombie killer (Jesse Eisenberg) and a gun-toting cowboy (Woody Harrelson) who loves blasting zombies as much as they crave human flesh. This unlikely duo comes across two

Hey, banjos do serve a purpose.

surviving sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin) who give them comfort and a reason to stay alive.

Trailers for the movie have sold the action and violence, of which there is plenty, but I was taken aback by how enjoyable the characters are, how clever the screenplay is and how many scenes succeed at being simultaneously grisly and fall-down funny.

Inevitable comparisons to Shaun of the Dead and other cult-classic horror/ comedies will be a sticking point for fanboys. But, in terms of making you love the people on screen, providing genuine chills and big laughs and making you walk away giddy, I’d say this comes closest to the mother of all horror comedies, An American Werewolf in London. Other films have tackled this material, but Zombieland is its own beast, a movie that sounded like disposable garbage but is one of the nicest surprises of the year.

Part-time Maui guy Harrelson is a gifted actor who, like Johnny Depp, has a film career so eclectic, it’s impossible to typecast

him. Here, he sinks his big choppers into a role that resembles a goofy cousin to Kurt Russell’s Escape From New York anti-hero, Snake Plissken. Harrelson is so thrilling in the movie’s rousing carnival climax, I seriously wondered when I could get my hands on some Zombieland action figures. Eisenberg is wellregarded for his work in indie dramas but he’s great here. Stone, like Kat Dennings and Winona Ryder, is a thinking man’s dream girl. Then there’s the young Breslin, showing there’s life after Little Miss Sunshine, blasting the undead with a sawed off shotgun. Last but in no way least is the year’s best cameo by a major star. It’s so funny, I would never give it away.

This isn’t the first and won’t be the last of its kind, but we’d be lucky if all zombie movies were this great. You can keep the gloomy, self-important 28 Days Later; I’ll take Harrelson wiping out a bone-cruncher with his car door any day. ■

Maui Film Festival Candlelight Cinema

Soul power - PG-13 - Documentary - A never-before-seen concert film shot in Kinshasa, Zaire, starring James Brown, Celia Cruz, B.B. King and Miriam Makeba. The film showcases the aforementioned artists in their prime, from what was a three-night, 12-hour festival dubbed “Zaire ‘74,” and historically coupled with “The Rumble in the Jungle”--the legendary fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. 93 min.

The SepTember ISSue - PG-13 - Documentary - Every fashionista knows The September Issue of Vogue is a must-have. This film explores the life and livelihood of Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-chief—whose 20+ year career has been nothing short of legendary. 90 min.

New This Week

CoupleS reTreaT - PG-13 - Comedy - Stars Vince Vaughn, John Favreau, Jason Batemen (heh heh), Faizon Love, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristen Davis and Kali Hawk, as four Midwestern couples who embark on a surf, sun and sand retreat in order to reconnect. Supposed hilarity ensues when the gurus there to guide them to marital bliss cause a quirky mess. 107 min.

Now Showing

9 - PG13 - Animation - Tim Burton produces this progressive feature-length animation, based on Shane Acker’s short film. A postapocalyptic, Homo sapien-free world where rag dolls come to life and battle evil machines who threaten to destroy all civilization. 79 min.

CapITalISm a love STory - R - Documentary - Michael Moore’s latest installment comes on the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking film, Roger & Me. From the epicenters of financial institutions and big business, to Washington D.C., Moore gives viewers rarely seen insight into the powerhouses at the heart of our current collapse. 127 min.

Cloudy wITh a ChanCe of meaTballS PG - Family - The beloved book--a husband and wife team-production by Judi (author) and Ron Barrett (illustrator)--has inspired kids since it’s first publication in 1978 and finally gets its due props with a movie. However, while I really try to refrain from negativity--especially with kids flicks--the trailers have really rubbed me the wrong way. How can producers stray so far from the book’s incredible illustrations? So, keiki, if you see this movie, promise me you’ll read the book too. 90 min. fame - PG - Musical - This 2009 rendition (yep, based on the 1980 musical of the same name) follows the trials and tribulations of talented teens at the New York City High School of Performing Arts (known today as the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Whew, and I thought Makawao’s SEKIS was a mouthful). 107 min.

G.I. Joe: The rISe of Cobra - PG13 - Action - A super-elite team of international military operatives battle the evildoer organization Cobra, with high tech weapons the likes of which you probably never dreamed of while playing with your Hasbro toys in the sandbox. This flashy new rendition’s sandy battlefield is, not surprisingly, a North African desert. 120 min.

The InformanT - R - Comedy - A true story, based on the book, The Informant, by Kurt Eichenwald. It’s hard for me to say the name Matt Damon (who in this movie plays executive turned informant/whistleblower, Mark Whitacre), without Team America: World Police (2004) inflection, and for that fact alone I am stoked about this movie. Okay, two facts--the second being Scott Bakula (playing FBI agent, Brian Shepherd), my favorite Enterprise captain, second only to that “bald chap,” Picard. 108 min.

JennIfer’S body - R - Horror - A rock band hopes to increase their chances of getting a record deal, and in a Satanic ritual sacrifice

Jennifer Check (Megan Fox)--the sexiest (and thereby most popular) chick at the local high school. Check ends up possessed and more powerful than ever, but with a cannibalistic taste for boy flesh. Written by Diablo Cody. 111 min. love happenS - PG13 - Romance - Aaron Eckhart plays Dr. Burke Ryan, a widower, therapist and self-help guru who despite his success, has been incapable of taking his own let-it-go advice. Enter Jennifer Aniston as Eloise Chandler, a florist who’s sworn-off relationships--that is, until she attends one of Ryan’s seminars. 109 min.

The InvenTIon of lyInG - PG13 - Comedy - Ricky Gervais (creator of The Office) and Matthew Robinson direct this film about a world in which no one has ever lied. Gervais not only directs, he stars too, as writer Mark Bellison, who figures out how to be bad (all by himself, I think), and capitalizes on it. 105 min. my one and only - PG13 - Comedy - With her two teenage sons in tow, Ann Devereaux (Renee Zellweger) hits the road in a baby blue Cadillac Coupe de Ville in search of a wealthy new mate, after leaving her philandering husband (Kevin Bacon). 108 min. pandorum - R - Thriller - In total blackness, two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber, completely unaware of who they are, let alone their mission. At first they believe they’re alone on the ship, before they realize the terrible truth. 112 min.

SurroGaTeS - PG13 - Sci-Fi - In the future, robots are smarter and better looking than humans. So, humans decide to live in isolation and interact with fellow bag of bones via robots alone. Bruce Willis plays an FBI agent who investigates some mischief and conspiracy surrounding the murder of the surrogate inventor. 112 min.

The TIme Traveler’S wIfe - PG13 - Romance - Seemingly devised especially for geeky girls like me, the plot circles around a debonair Chicago librarian (Eric Bana), who is cursed/ blessed with a gene causing spontaneous, involuntary time travel. Trouble aside, he remains hopelessly dedicated to and in love with his timeline-bound wife (Rachel McAdams), throughout all their longing battles through time and space. 108 min.

Toy STory 1 & 2 3d - G - Family - A double feature, only in theaters and only out for two weeks! Having had the opportunity to see an extended trailer for the ‘event’ in 3-D, I can attest these already-classics all dolled up in three-dimensional fashion is not-to-be-missed (for keiki and adults alike). 185 min.

Tyler perry’S I Can do bad all by mySelf - PG13 - Comedy - Aunty April (Taraji P. Henson), a lounge singer, drinks heavily and lives off of her married boyfriend, Raymond. Wanting little to do with her delinquent niece and two small nephews recently charged under her care, she starts to reassess her lifestyle when an intriguing young Mexican man moves into her basement. 113 min. whIp IT - PG13 - Comedy - Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut about a bored Texan, Bliss Cavendar (Ellen Page), who wants to go wild and does so by joining rinks/ranks (whatever) with some rockin’ roller derby chicks. Not content with a crazy name like Bliss, she opts for the skater alter-ego, Babe Ruthless. See the flick and feel inspired? Maui’s got some great sk8 opportunities! So, go to the theater, then check out myspace.com/mauirollergirls & mauihockey.com. 111 min.

ZombIeland - R - Horror - See this week’s Film Critiques for more! This is one of the few flicks I’ve been truly excited about. Woody Harrelson plays the zombie-slaying, kamakazi-cowboy “Tallahassee,” Emma Stone is “Wichita,” Abigail Breslin is “Little Rock,” and Bill Murray is himself. Uh, what more to say?

See you there! 88 min. uh warrIor fooTball aT freSno ST. - Check out the University of Hawaii football games for $10 a pop. This Saturday, UH at Fresno St.--the fifth game in Warrior’s longest on-the-road stretch in 45 years.

Remember that show, Hawaiian Moving Company, with Michael W. Perry? It may have started as a disco-dance program (with Kamasami Kong, not Perry… LOL)— which, to be honest, I’m too young to remember—but anyone who’s seen the KGMB classic that ran for 26 years (the curtain call came in 2004) will remember the closing montage of smiling folks giving shaka. Though you’d mostly watch to see if there might be someone you knew, Mauians were more likely to glimpse a Waikiki beach boy or cute keiki surfing with his/her dog. As a Kula kid, I found this a little unsettling. Is the dog in danger?

Oh, dogs can swim? OK. Also unsettling was the first time I witnessed a guy paddle boarding. Seeing him standing out there, alone, in the distance, for a moment I thought it was a second coming. Paddle boarding has boomed (to say the least) in just a few short years, and I’ve accepted

Crater Days

Stringing Along

Saturday (Oct. 10) through Tuesday (Oct. 13), Haleakala National Park, Free Photo by MATT WORDEMAN

Thanks to the Friends of the Haleakala National Park (FHNP)—whose purpose “is to support educational, cultural, research and service activities relating to the park and its ecosystems”—a service project will be held in the Haleakala Crater for 12 lucky participants. While working to “protect native plants in the crater wilderness,” volunteers will stay in the Kapalaoa Cabin for free (park entry fee waived, too) and enjoy relaxing downtime for hiking, photography and stargazing. Haleakala may be the house of the sun, but the FHNP website (fhnp.org) is home to a mountain of information— including online registration for this and other upcoming events (like, Waikau North heterotheca and Holua south heterotheca Nov. 14-15, and central crater outplanting or heterotheca Dec. 5-6). Maybe hiking in and out of the crater while packing your food, water and sleeping bag is not for you, but the crater still calls? FHNP offers a variety of

Chronicling this success story “about hard work, fortitude, honesty and creativity,” is the film Heart Strings, to be shown as part of the Hawaiian Heritage Film Festival.

I happen to watch a lot of Antiques Roadshow, and will direct you, if I may, to the 2007 Honolulu episode (11th season), where local appraiser David Bosney visited the factory (pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/ cities/honolulu_2007.html). 242-7469, mauiarts.org.

Horoscope

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

What makes you happy? I’m worried that you’ve forgotten threequarters of a once quite-extensive list. That’s made the remaining items unreasonably important, and it can consequently be devastating when one of them goes missing. Spend some time this week dredging up the rest of your Things That Make Me Happy List from memory, or reinventing it from scratch. Make it long and plentiful, with some unlikely and ambitious things, but many, many easy and achievable items. The goal here is to be happy the vast majority of the time. I can assure you it’s possible.

Specifically how? That’s up to you.

AGE LANGU

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

If you brought your mp3 player and battery-powered speakers back to Medieval times, it’d be magic (and yes, you’d be burnt at the stake for it, but never mind that). People have always had a tendency to take anything they don’t understand and give it magical qualities. You do the same. Unlike the people of that era, though, who were likely to destroy things they didn’t get, you’re likely to almost worship them. While an improvement, this isn’t necessarily the most enlightened approach, especially when the ungraspable conundrum is another person. Remember, they are no more mysterious than you and your magical mp3 player—just different. If it helps, they’re likely to feel quite the same way about you.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Build up some momentum. It’s not usually your style just to go barreling into obstacles, Aries-style, and try to knock them down with brute force. You generally prefer to finesse them in some way, but sometimes only pure muscle will do the trick. You’ll need a running start. How does this translate from the blunt metaphor of knocking down a door into whatever real life situation you’re facing? It’s quite simple. Forget subtlety, tact, and diplomacy. There’s no need for negotiations or maneuvering.

Be bold, direct, and confrontational. That’s not necessarily your forte, but trust me: it’ll work.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

$10/unit special

You’ve scared away plenty of people in your time. Sometimes it’s your intensity, sometimes it’s your lack of attention (too busy focusing on other things), sometimes it’s because you deliberately set out to intimidate them. My point is, you haven’t spent years learning to become the most approachable person around. That’s as you like it, most of the time, but occasionally it can work against you, because it might keep you from meeting someone you’d like to know. This is your bed though, and you’ve spent ages making it. Lying in it isn’t so hard, luckily—it just means that because people won’t approach you, you have to approach them.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Speaking the truth isn’t endearing. It’s 90% more likely to earn you enemies (or frenemies) than telling polite falsehoods. However, your number one goal in life shouldn’t be to have everyone like you. It should be to abide by a set of principles and stick to them even when it’s not easy. In this case, that means speaking an unpopular truth. Why, you may ask, does this burden so frequently fall on you? It’s really simple: You’re one of the few people who can clearly see the truth. Of those people, you’re one of the even fewer who can properly articulate it. Of those people, you’re one of the rarest of them all: someone with the courage to do exactly that.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

It’s not enough to say you’re sorry sometimes. Sure, in an ideal world, a heartfelt apology should yield at least some measure of forgiveness. But everyone comes to the table with their own set of baggage, and for some, that might mean not letting go of something painful quite so easily. They may need some extra measure (and time) before they’re able to forgive and forget. In a few cases that may never happen, but I don’t think this is one of those. Exercise patience, and don’t be resentful that you have to go an extra mile or two (once it becomes twelve, you can give up), and you’ll almost certainly have something close to what you’re aiming for: a blank slate.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Some predators go out and actively hunt their prey. They sneak up on it and chase it and pounce when they think they have half a chance of bringing it down. Some are more subtle, setting elaborate traps for their prey to fall into. I’m not just referring to lions and spiders here; people play exactly these games, and you have, too. This week, however, your best chances lie with a mixed bag of tricks. Some chasing and some trap-laying will bag you the “prey” you want, whereas either alone probably wouldn’t suffice. Don’t get locked into one M.O. Try a few until you get what you want.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Let’s say you agreed to go on a surprise trip with a good friend, but part of the deal was you couldn’t know where you were going until you got there. No matter how thoughtfully you packed your bags, there would be something you needed once you got there that you didn’t anticipate needing, and thus didn’t pack. That’s ok. This is about being resourceful and making do. And this isn’t about a trip so much as a relationship; since you can’t predict where you’re going here, either, there’s stuff you’ll neglect to bring along. Don’t freak out. Just make do. It’ll do.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

After days of incessant rain, everything in your house is liable to feel a bit damp, and anything that happened to be damp before the rain started is likely to be downright mildewy. It’s hard to get things dry when you’re surrounded by water. It’s also hard to shed useless emotions when elements in your environment is constantly soaking you with reminders of them. One solution for your wet laundry would be to take it to a sunny tropical beach—coincidentally, something similar would work for your soul. However, such extreme solutions aren’t practical. Most people with damp laundry would remedy it with a trip to the Laundromat. Perhaps there’s somewhere similar that might work similar wonders for your spirit? Head there soon, please.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

I value life very highly (I have been known to go out of my way to rescue drowning insects from puddles and the like), but I don’t feel terribly guilty about killing mosquitoes when they land on me (or are about to). They’ve crossed a line, and even though I can probably afford to let them feed off my blood, I have no particular desire to. In my mind, they’ve crossed the live-and-let-live line. So have some parasites in your life. You try to treat everyone with the same level of respect, but if that respect isn’t exactly returned, then you should, of course, swat them until they stop bugging you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Here’s the problem with being a fixed sign: Yeah, you sure know what you want to do with your time (unlike those vacillating Pisceans and dithering Librans), but when plans go awry, you sometimes flip your shit, and usually don’t particularly enjoy yourself. Occasionally you even waste a ton of energy trying to get things to go back onto the track you’d originally imagined. However, if you think back to the times when you managed to just let things go, often whatever happened was more exciting, interesting, and enlightening than what you’d planned. Keep that in mind the next time your train goes off the rails; it may be going somewhere good.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

The shortest distance between two points is not always a straight line. For instance, airplanes traveling on our spherical planet use great circle shapes (basically an arc traversing a narrower part of the sphere) in order to make the best time. Another airplane example is when they’re able to ride the jet stream—those air currents carry them faster than if they’d pursued a strict straightline route. Your situation is similar. Connecting Point A to Point B may seem like a straightforward matter, but there are other considerations that may make your journey easier, more efficient, and more successful. This week is a good week to realistically factor those in.
