READER FEEDBACK

BY READERS LIKE YOU BOO HOO FOR BOO BOO ZOO (The following letters refer to “Feds Bust Boo Boo Zoo,� from our Sept. 1, 2011 issue) Thank you for the attention to this sickening action. Keep it up!

-M. Kelly, via Mauifeed.com The Boo Boo Zoo is where I call first if I find a baby deer or animal in distress. I know that the Humane Society do not care for deer or injured birds and will probably just kill them rather than find a place to take care of them.

Sylvan [Schwab, the owner], day or night is there to give sage advice in keeping them alive until I can get them to a volunteer who knows what to do with the bird or deer. I have lived on this property adjacent to hundreds of wild acres and am happy to have some one in the know who will love and

care for these injured animals. This barbaric act by the present administration shows no concern for the animals or the community who loves the Boo Boo Zoo and like a Nazi will do what the rules tell him to do.

[This is] shameful in every sense of the word. Sometimes rules are to be examined by intelligent people and if there is an alternative solution outside of the box, the wise administrator will do what is just.

Unbelievable. Those birds love Sylvan. Breaks my heart. Many of the Boo Boo Zoo deer were prematurely cut out of their mothers by hunters–Sylvan is their life. Especially the blind ones. The “raid� is likely related to their next door neighbor who has been rallying to close the shelter for years. Not many people on the planet can do what Sylvan does. I can’t imagine his grief presently.

TALKINGWITH...

D U.S. Senate Candidate Mazie Hirono

BY SARA TEKULA

emocrat Mazie Hirono has represented Hawaii’s Second District in the U.S. House of Representatives since January 2007. Now she’s running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by retiring Democratic Senator Daniel Akaka.

Though the election is still 14 months away, Hirono has already begun campaigning, and has even picked up an endorsement from U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye (D, Hawaii).

On Aug. 26, Hirono stopped by the MauiTime office to chat for a few minutes on the senate race. And please keep in mind—this and any future such candidate interview article we run should be seen as a chat—just part of a much larger conversation that will take place over the next year.

with us. I know about the concerns people have about seniors.

MAUITIME: Thanks very much for stopping by. So why did you decide to run for the Senate?

MAZIE HIRONO: The people of Hawaii want someone who shares their values.

I share their experiences. For instance, I have an 87-year-old mother. She lives

Such as?

Education is the great equalizer. We are falling behind in STEM skills—Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. We need to encourage educators to go into these fields. College costs are really high, so we can offer loan forgiveness for those

In your opinion, what’s the single most pressing issue facing the U.S. today?

Jobs. Getting our economy going.

And how do we do that?

I have supported infrastructure investment. The stimulus bill [from 2009]—I wish more had gone into that. Two hundred forty million dollars of the $1.4 billion sent to Hawaii was for infrastructure.

It’s a huge part of what we build at Valley Isle Gymnastics.

When a 7 year old VIG athlete Kayden Uwekoolani-DeCoite joined us at VIG, there’s little doubt he was a confident young man to begin with.

Our philosophies here of patience and positivity have contributed to his confidence and so many of Maui’s youth being much more confident in everything they do. Those aren’t our words. Those are the words we hear from our families just about every day.

You talked about the importance of math and science. What about the arts?

Oh, I’m all for that. We have to support creativity in young people.

Speaking of creativity, what do you read?

Right now I’m reading David McCullough’s new book The Greater Journey, about Americans living in Paris. I also read a lot of mysteries. And I’m reading Nicholas Kristof’s Half the Sky: Turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide. And I just started reading Mark Twain’s Innocents Abroad. It’s all on my iPad.

This month marks the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Are we better off as a nation today than we were then?

We are, but we’re also in the middle of the worse economic crisis since the Great Depression. We must do everything we can to get out of this economic disaster.

Confidence.

Talk of the Island

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO

PHOTO BY JENNY LEVINE

blooded American would when presented with an octopus trying to steal his car We're the best at crappy roads keys—and said something to the effect of (the exact words escape me), “Dude? What gives?” And he was, like, just glaring at me again. But then he kind of relaxed his tentacles and settled back into the water, and I thought that maybe he’d just eaten a bad piece of fish or something and everything was cool now, when he suddenly whips out this brochure and starts trying to sell me term life insurance. Yeah! Term!

Believe it or not, I was not on drugs when I wrote that previous paragraph, but according to a Sept. 2 Associated Press story, people like me are fast becoming the minority in Hawaii. In fact, our state is tops in the nation in workplace methamphetimine use.

“Hawaii leads the nation in methamphetamine use among its workforce, according to a new study by a major drug testing senzahl said a report last year identified company,” reported 126 bridges across the state were deemed the AP. “In millions “structurally deficient.” “Now that doesn’t of test samples anamean the bridge is about to collapse,” Meilyzed in 2010, Hasenzahl said. “What it does mean is that if waii had a dramatic the bridge was built today, it would be comlead—410 percent pletely different because the standards togreater than the day are different.” national average— Considering that there are 750 state in tests coming bridges total, that means roughly five perup positive for the cent of the bridges lack the sidewalks, lane highly addictive widths and railings required by modern drug stimulant, acbridges. “The state recognizes that we have cording to a Quest these bridges, and we’re in the process of Diagnostics study replacing them,” said Meisenzahl. “We’re obtained by The very aware of the problem. But it will cost Associated Press.” hundreds of millions of dollars to replace all Hawaii is Numof these bridges.” ber One! And it wasn’t even a close HAWAII’S contest either. ArNUMBER ONE! kansas came in So my girlfriend and I were walking second (no surprise We're #1 at crappy drugs in the workplace! through the Maui Ocean Center the other there), a mere 280 day. That place is great! I mean, it’s colorpercent over the national average, and third went to Oklahoma (again, completely believable), which scored 240 percent higher than the national average.

An intriguing aspect to the data is that workplace meth use is (currently) far higher in the western states than in the east.

Now exactly why the Aloha State leads the nation in workplace meth use is somewhat of a mystery, though the AP story says a likely possibility is that so much of the economy out here is geared toward “mindnumbing, repetitive” service industry work (coupled with the stress caused by such a high cost of living).

If that assessment is correct, then dangerous drug use is all but hard-wired into our state’s societal fabric. And that thought is so depressing it almost makes want to go back and chat with that octopus. ■ -Woman talking on cell phone in North Kihei parking lot, Sept. 3 anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro

ROAD LESS MAINTAINED Ahh, rural roads. Hawaii’s narrow, not so well paved byways through Upcountry, East Maui and other decidedly non-metropolitan areas of the island. There are hundreds of miles of them on Maui, many of which fall under county jurisdiction. But according to the the good folks at The Road Information Program (TRIP), a non-profit think tank in Washington, D.C., which sent me a copy of their latest report, titled Rural Connections: Challenges and Opportunities in America’s Heartland, these roads (and bridges) suck.

“According to the TRIP report, in 2008, 29 percent of the state’s major rural roads were rated in poor condition, the fifth highest share in the nation,” said Frank Moretti, TRIP’s director of research and policy in a Sept. 1 press release. “An additional 68 percent of Hawaii’s major rural roads were rated in mediocre or fair condition. In 2010, 16 percent of Hawaii’s rural bridges were rated as structurally deficient, the tenth highest percentage in the nation. And additional 35 percent of the state’s rural bridges were functionally obsolete.”

It gets worse: “In 2009, Hawaii’s non-Interstate rural roads had a traffic fatality rate of 1.77 deaths for every 100 million vehicle miles of travel, compared to a fatality rate on all other roads of 0.89 deaths per 100 million vehicle roads of travel,” states the press release. “Inadequate roadway safety design, longer emergency vehicle response times and the higher speeds traveled on rural roads are factors in the higher traffic fatality rate.”

And that’s pretty bad. Most of the rural roads throughout Hawaii fall under county jurisdiction (there are 169 miles of state roads on Maui, said state Department of Transportation spokesman Daniel Meisenzahl, but 450 miles of county roads). A spokesperson for the County of Maui didn’t get back to me by press time.

As far as the bridges are concerned, Mei-

ful and informative and cool (talking temperature here, as well as the act of being socially acceptable) and is just a fantastic way for people to spend a few hours. Well, mostly fantastic. See, while we were walking around, looking at the many vibrant and wonderful reef fish and generally minding our own business when the octopus—you know the one—in that one tank glares at me. Just up and glared at me! For no reason! Taken aback at first, I kinda stood there, dumbstruck. “What I ever do to you?”

I asked him (I’m assuming it’s a him). And he just glared back at me! Then he kinda moved around the tank a little (it is rather cramped in there, I’ll give him that), and I thought that everything was cool. But it was not—as I’m walking away, the octopus reaches down and tries to steal my car keys!

Yeah! So I kinda jumped back—as any red-

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY CHUCK SHEPARD

BIRD COPS SWOOP IN! The heavy hand of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service landed on 11-year-old Skylar Capo and her mom in June, after an agent happened to spot Skylar holding a baby woodpecker in her hands at a Lowes home improvement store in Fredericksburg, Va. Actually, Skylar had minutes before saved the woodpecker from the primed teeth of a house cat and was providing temporary TLC, intending to release the bird when the trauma had passed. The agent, apparently, was unimpressed, reciting a provision of the Migratory Bird Act, and two weeks later, another Fish and Wildlife agent knocked on the Capos’ door (accompanied by a Virginia state trooper) and served Mrs. Capo a citation calling for a $535 fine. In August, Fish and Wildlife officials relented, calling the agent’s action a mistake.

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS Though a university study released in June linked birth defects to the controversial mining industry practice of mountaintop removal, lawyers for the National Mining Association offered a quick, industry-friendly rebuttal: Since the area covered by the study was in West Virginia, any birth defects could well be explained merely as inbreeding. A week later, the lawyers thought better and edited out that insinuation.

WEAK DEFENSE Michael Jones, 50, told a magistrate in Westminster, England, in May that he did not “assault” a police officer when he urinated on him at a railway station a month earlier. Jones claimed, instead, that he was “urinating in self-defense” in that the water supply had been “poisoned by the mafia.” The magistrate explained that Jones’ argument “is not realistically going to be a viable defense.”

HEY, CMS CAN BE SERIOUS Inmate Kyle Richards filed a federal lawsuit in July against Michigan’s prison system because of the no-pornography policy in effect for the Macomb County jail (a violation of Richards’ “constitutional rights”). Other states permit such possession, claimed Richards, who further supported his case by reference to his own condition of “chronic masturbation syndrome,” exacerbated by conditions behind bars. Additionally, Richards claimed to be indigent and therefore entitled to pornography at the government’s expense–to avoid a “poor standard of living” and “sexual and sensory deprivation.”

IRONY A 55-year-old man participating in a protest of New York’s mandatory-helmet law was killed after losing control of his motorcycle and hitting his head on the pavement, even though doctors said he surely would have survived had he been wearing a regulation helmet (Lafayette, N.Y., July). And an 18-year-old man, celebrating on the evening of May 21 after

it had become clear that the world would not end as predicted by a radio evangelist, drowned after jumping playfully off a bridge into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River.

NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS The veterans’ support organization Home for Our Troops had recently started to build a 2,700-square-foot house in Augusta, Ga., to ease life for Army Sgt. 1st Class Sean Gittens, who had suffered concussive head injuries in Afghanistan and is partially paralyzed. However, in June, the Knob Hill Property Owners Association, which had provisionally approved the design, changed its mind. “The problem is,” one association member told the Augusta Chronicle, there are “5,000-square-foot homes all the way up and down the street” and that such a “small” house would bring down property values. “It just doesn’t fit.”

t was Friday night just before the grom surf contest at Lahaina Library Park, and you three boys of high school age jumped on my boat and stole two fishing gaffs out of my cockpit. My boating neighbor saw you in the red shirt and red shorts running off with my gear, and he called the police and filed a complaint. If your Dads don’t give you one good likk’n and you keep up that stuff, there are guys in prison (where there’s no surf or skateboards) who will surely make an impression on your sorry butts. Fishing is my job, not a hobby, and you not only made it harder for me to work and care for my family, you also put a black eye on most boys your age, most of whom are doing their best to have integrity and make something great for themselves and their families. But if you do the right thing and bring-em back, all charges will be dropped. ■

FIRST THINGS FIRST Alan Buckley, 44, on holiday from Cheshire, England, was arrested in Orlando in June and charged with taking upskirt photographs of a woman at a Target store. Buckley’s child had gotten sick and was admitted to Orlando’s Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, and Buckley was apparently killing time at Target after visiting with the child (and was later identified by witnesses because he was still wearing his hospital visitor’s sticker, with his name on it).

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Steven Long, 23, was arrested in South Daytona, Fla., in May on suspicion of theft after a patrol officer spotted him pedaling his bike down a street with a 59-inch TV set on the handlebars.

Then Matthew Davis, 32, pleaded guilty to theft in Cairns, Australia, in June; he had been arrested on suspicion because police had noticed a large office safe protruding “precariously” out the back of his vehicle as he drove by. And Stephen Kirkbride, 46, was convicted of theft in Kendal, England, in June after a clothing store clerk, on the witness stand, pointed out that Kirkbride had in fact worn to court that day the very coat he had stolen from the store.

TRIAL BY EARTHQUAKE Judge Giuseppe Gargarella has scheduled trial for later this month in L’Aquila, Italy, for seven members of Italy’s national commission on disaster risks who (though supposedly experts) failed to warn of the severity of the April 2009 central-Italy earthquake that killed 300 people. Judge Gargarella said the seven had given “contradictory information” and must stand trial for manslaughter. (One commission member had even recommended a high-end red wine that citizens should sip as they ignore small tremors--which turned into a 6.3 magnitude quake.) ■ chuck@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1512n4

What it’s like to be Lanakila Kelliher

By Lantana Hoke

You’ve noticed them.

They line the beaches of our island, most notably in Makena. They stand on the sand, tensed and focused, then suddenly break into a sprint. They throw down their boards, like surfboards but lighter and with no fins. In a smooth motion on they jump on, skim over water only inches deep and, depending on the wave, their own timing and luck, slip into the crest of the wave, or collide with the wave in a stunning ning display of controlled he ride back on the sand power, throwing spray and completing the where they started.

You might also have noticed that the g guys uys vastly outnumber h made it easy for the girls on the shoreline, which might have g and fast, racing at you to spot one girl in particular, strong breakneck speed toward the waves. Lanakila na akila Kelliher, fessional a 33-year-old native Maui girl and professional wn at skimboarder, has been a fixture down Makena and in the skimboard community, ityy, locally and nationally, for years. u ut That would be impressive enough, but her talent doesn’t end there.

second year women had a professional division to compete in, she placed third. More recently, she put together a scholarship for college-bound Hawaii art students using donations from her company and artwork sold at Whole Foods.

“You have to seize the moment. Timing is everything,” Lanakila says of skimboarding. g She could ould be just as well talking about her art. Lana was able to weave together her two main passions in subtle ways at first, painting her skimboards before a competition and doing freelance work designing competition trophies and posters. By doing private work, she was able to fund her first major skimboarding competition in Laguna beach in 2006, where she took second by half a point to the eight eight-time time world champ champ.

Achild of two talented

artists, she says she “was heavily into art my whole life.”

Encouraged by teachers, friends and family, she raised more than $30,000 in scholarships and put herself through college, studying art at UH Manoa Manoa.

“Everyone believed in me,” she says. She worked on various projects on Oahu, including in the art department on the set of

Blue Crush. After graduating, she moved back to Maui and started working in faux finishing and journeyman painting, getting a feel for the commercial end of the art business. Learning different angles, from fine art to commercial projects, gave her a foundation and background g that enabled her to open her own business.

Lana started la landing jobs in private residences while continuing with finish and repair rep work. Several years ago, she painted a wall in the public parking lot in Makawao with fellow artist Sarah Dickens.

At first they worked worke secretly at night with headlamps, before eventually securing per permission to continue on with the painting.

Their first creat creation was soon tagged over, but their next mural depicted a yyou young woman with her hair flowing, a politically charged, poignant poigna ant image of a protestor of the Kahoolawe bombings. One d day the head deco coordinator of Whole Foods pulled in front of it and paused. Though the painting wass u unsigned, he tracked down Lana and asked if she’d sh he’ be interested in painting murals at the new Whole Foots Market in Kahului. She agreed, and Wh W drafted the image that eventually became the dra d store logo. When the company asked whether sto she thought they should do a mural or a changiing ng art show, “I asked, why not both?” Lana composed co omp a vivid landscape in sepia tones to flow th through hrou the dining area of the store, which also houses a ch changing hang art show.

When this opportunity oppor op came to her, Lana saw the potential not only for her own ow personal gain but also a chance to share her good fortune. S She brought on then-high school student Tiffany Suh, who ea earned credit by assisting Lana on furlough Fridays and weeken weekends. She also put together a proposal that would divide the profit of art sold from the changing art show, giving 70 percent to the artist and the rest to a scholarship fund.

She contacted the Hawaii Community Foundation, where she

received her own scholarships, and created a fund for aspiring college-bound artists. Collaboratively, they are putting together a $25,000 endowment over the next five years, funded by pledged seed sponsors and art sales. So far, sponsors include the Jonathan Waxman Foundation, Maui Circulation, Maui Jim (a company Lanakila has freelanced for in the past) as well as donations from her own company.

“Philanthropy is contagious,” Lanakila says, explaining that many of the donors are friends or clients. Lanakila named it the Janet Y. Sato Na Lima Paheona Scholarship Fund, designated for college-bound Hawaii seniors who will pursue an education in the arts. The scholarship was named for Lana’s former teacher at Baldwin High School, who was instrumental in helping Lana and many other students create and achieve their goals.

Having received a lot of her own college funding from the Hawaii Community Foundation, Lana believes in the organization and knows it is a solid resource with an smooth application process. “Giving a scholarship was almost more rewarding than receiving one,” she says. Suh, her student assistant, also received funds from the Hawaii Community Foundation and now attends art school in Chicago.

The Whole Foods gig

led to further opportunity at mainland branches of the store. While in Laguna Beach for the World Championship of Skimboarding, Lanakila collaborated with the 2009 skimming world champ Brandon Rothe and local artist Miles Brogman to create art for the Whole Foods there. The artists painted scenes on skimboards to tell the history of the sport, using different board shapes, methods and images to show the history of skimboarding. Some of the boards play homage to the classic rippers and others depict the emerging talent in the sport.

The boards hang as aisle markers; over the frozen food section hangs a Maui Skimmers board, “to bring a little warmth to the area,” Lana says. Since this project went on during the contest, many of the other competitors helped out, and Lana used some of the reve-

nue to sponsor other competitors with airfare and a stocked fridge.

“It was very grassroots,” she says. “Everyone brought something to the table, for the greater good and the fun of it all.”

Like art, watersports are a dynamic mix of individual mastery and social interaction. Suggestions, approval, feedback and energy from peers feeds the progression, whether in the waves or at the canvas. Collaboration is key to everything Lanakila does.

Her style of collaboration seems uniquely encompassing, even feminine in its inclusive spirit.

A prime example of this is Photographe Skimtastique, a project involving photographer Monique Feil that aims to raise awareness of women in skimboarding, as well as raise revenue and seek sponsorship for a professional tour. Ten of the 13 competitors participated in a body painting and photography session, resulting in powerful images of talented and beautiful athletes with subtle and positive messages. The images are for sale, and the women hope to create a calendar.

“Some are more risqué than others, but it all depended on their own personal style and comfort level,” Lanakila says. “The cool thing about body painting, for me as an artist, is that a lot of yourself comes out in an image when you’re painting. But when you’re creating on a person who’s alive and breathing, a lot of that person comes into it as well, and the whole project becomes a collaboration. Like skimming, you don’t know what the wave will bring you, and how you will respond to it.”

According to Lana, the “skim chicks” are very supportive of each other, a trait many skimboarders tend to share. “The thing I really love about skimboarding, is that there’s e’s this unique thing that happens when someone catches a really eally amazing wave, everyone hits their board and acknowledgess that, and I feel like that’s something I really love about skimboarding oarding is that is has that really amazing, encouraging energy. y.”

siastically. “I was so humbled and honored to be schooled by such a young ripper. It gives me hope for the future of the sport.”

Eventually, through sponsoring each other and creating revenue through projects like Photographe Skimtastique, Lanakila and the other skim chicks envision putting together a world tour, organizing work trips, camps and using art and skimboarding to raise awareness of natural resources and promote a healthy athletic lifestyle.

Lanakila finds other ways of staying current and connected with the Maui community. Her work can be seen all over Maui.

She painted the shark on the wall of the old Kuau Mart, who sponsored her back in her grom days. More recently, she’s been working on the First Friday Mural in Wailuku as part of an ongoing live arts performance piece, an evolving collaborative space that includes culturally sensitive depictions of kalo fields, constellations and the Hokulea.

Everything Lana does seems to feed and support all of her passions and projects. For her finish and repair work, she needs to be physically fit to work from scaffolding and hold long hours.

As an athlete and artist, she is supported by her community and in turn pays it forward.

“The attitude of skimming is very unique,” she says. “With surfing, you’re always with the flow. But when I’m skimming, I’m looking at this wave coming at me, and I’m running head-on into it, and then finding a way to flow with it, and return to shore. It’s like taking life full on with speed, agility and skill, connecting with it and flowing back to shore in a full circle. It’s mostly a pretty sshort o ride, and timing is everything, and such is life.” ■

ost of the time we think of Mama’s Fish House as that special place to enjoy a romantic anniversary or milestone birthday dinner. That is alright but you’re selling yourself short of an astonishing lunch experience, or a casual afternoon at the bar for drinks and pupus.

Their remarkable dining room is like no other place on Maui. Decorated with their cheerful retro Hawaiian prints, antiques, art and warm wood, it’s my South Pacific fantasy fulfilled. It’s a reflection of Mama’s–that would be Doris Christenson’s– love of adventure in Oceania and refinement that is timeless.

The menu changes daily with seasonal veggies and fresh fish. One of the newer inspired dishes I hadn’t seen before is Papa’s Three Fish Sashimi. Here, three different raw fish greet your palate in three completely different ways. “My dad, Floyd Christenson, and Chef Perry [Bateman] get together and start experimenting. That is how some of the new dishes happen,� says Karen Christenson, GM at Mama’s Fish House. That feeling of family and camaraderie is contagious with the food and staff. Once you step foot or roll wheels onto the property, everyone from the valet to the servers are part of Mama’s ohana. It’s another dimension to their Polynesian and Hawaiian influences and roots.

Don’t be afraid to be seated at the bar and order food. It’s still a fine dining experience,

salmon especially was a rich pink meat, enlightened by the pineapple pomegranate relish and black Big Island sea salt. We tried to determine a favorite, but the competition was fierce. The daikon-infused ahi with anise was beautiful–a bit of micro green balanced it and the kukui nut salt was like a

bit of inamona, the roasted kukui nut that is perfect in poke. The crunch of salt and vegetable with raw fish was very pleasing. Then there was the white-fleshed uku. I couldn’t get enough of the coconut chili flaked over the top with pink molokai sea salt. Individually, each of the raw bites were wonderful, but put all together, they compelled you to know more about each bite.

For lunch I wanted to go a completely different approach and stay on land, so I ordered a sandwich. After an incredible Mama’s salad, which was full of hearts of palm, mac nuts, bacon and goat cheese, my wild boar sandwich arrived. The toasty home baked roll smelled unbelievable, even before they were stuffed with pulled pork topped with mango chutney, then joined on the plate with sweet potato fries. Clearly, there are no wrong moves on the menu.

When Mama is in, she likes to check on her guests and make sure everyone has an enjoyable experience. It was a treat to talk food with her, and learn how her palate and passion has shaped this incredible place. Even better was her anecdote about meeting and befriending Carlos Santana— it made the white fig ice cream paired with Pride Mistelle de Voigner I ate for dessert taste that much sweeter. ■jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso

Three’s Bar and Grill

Location: Deep in Kihei is Kalama Village.

Just south of Foodland Market, this hub of activity offers myriad tasty food and beverage venues. In the case of Three’s, you want to wander south, past the shopping village, over the koi pond and out to their free-standing building.

Decor: There’s a trifecta of environments within Three’s (the name “Three’s� is actually unrelated to this — in this case, the name derives from the fact that three chefs opened this place: Jaron Blosser, Travis Morrin and Cody Christopher). Anyway, to get to the indoor dining room, enter and head right to the dark wood tables, tiger bamboo flooring and white tablecloths. This is where civilized eaters go. But if you take another right, you have the al fresco tables, with views of sunset and South Kihei road. But if you hang a left at the hostess stand near the front, you get to the more relaxed surf lounge.

Surf Lounge, defined: Not just for Spicoli types. Surfboards may embellish their large air conditioned lounge, but the surfing is done on your okole, from the comfy leather sofas or the chairs and bar stools. Grab a glass of liquid luxury, surf’s up!

Happy Hour: 3 to 6pm Grinds: You might think three chiefs is too many to stir the pot. But at Three’s, they each represent a part of cuisine that inspires them, coming up with an incredibly diverse menu. During happy hour, all apps like the exotic and savory Japanese pancake, kalua nachos, coconut crusted shrimp and lettuce

wraps are half price. Also half off during happy hour is the sushi and raw bar. Penn cove oysters are $1.50. Three’s does lunch and dinner seven days a week, and from 5 to 6:30pm you can take advantage of their $33 prix fixe menu.

Drinks: Happy Hour $3 Mai tais and margaritas, $3 drafts, bottles and wells. Their creative cocktail menu features Sake Sangria, Dragonberry Tini, Lychee Caiprinha, Ty Ku Mojito, Pear blossom and Mango martinis, all for $10. Designated drivers can sip Waiwera sparkling water.

Entertainment: The line-up changes weekly so stay tuned to the grid and calendar section.

FILM

Fall Movie Preview

BY BARRY WURST II

DRIVE

CONTAGION

T

he holiday season is a lot like the next four months at the movies- you reunite with those you have truly missed and those you hope to only see once a year. Because its typically one of the busiest times of the year for theaters, the fall has something for everyone, whether its Hugh Jackman and rock-‘em, sock ‘em robots (Real Steel), Maui resident Owen Wilson and Steve Martin as bird watchers (The Big Year) or Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz in a Roman Polanski comedy/thriller (Carnage). You can welcome or avoid the return of Alvin and the Chipmunks, Johnny English, Puss N’ Boots, Harold and Kumar, The Three Musketeers, the 3-D Piranhas, and Sherlock Holmes. There’s also Happy Feet 2, Paranormal Activity 3 and the Twilight vampires, who give us half of their last movie (part 2 of Breaking Dawn opens next summer–how very Back to the Future Part II!). Here’s 10 of the most promising movies of 2011’s busy final frame:

MONEYBALL

ligan co-stars.

Why It Could Rock: Gosling can carry a movie all by himself and the action scenes blew everyone away at Cannes last May. Unless: More of a drama than a smash-athon, which could confuse audiences expecting another Fast Five.

Best Case Scenario: Gosling finally sheds his “the guy from The Notebook” status once and for all.

Moneyball (Sept. 23) The Gist: Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill star in this true-life sports drama about managing the Oakland A’s.

Why It Could Rock: A movie about baseball both guys and their wives will want to see.

Hill, who is an unlikely sidekick to Pitt, will graduate to the acting major leagues if he can pull this off.

Unless: Is it too high brow for audiences still looking for another Bull Durham?

Best Case Scenario: Na Koa Ikaika Maui gets their own movie and it stars Branscombe Richmond.

50/50 (Sept. 29)

Contagion (Sept. 9) The Gist: Virus-on-the-loose thriller, directed

by Steven Soderbergh, stars Matt Damon and Kate Winslet Why It Could Rock: There hasn’t been a viral scare fest like this since Outbreak. The cast includes Jude Law, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Unless: If its so good, why is the studio releasing it in September?

Best Case Scenario: The monkey from Outbreak makes a comeback, gets his own reality TV series.

Drive (Sept. 16) The Gist: Ryan Gosling stars as a movie stunt driver in this action drama. Carey Mul-

The Gist: A comedy about cancer, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen.

Why It Could Rock: The film is hilarious and unpredictable, with the two leads in their element.

Unless: The cancer angle scares away audiences.

Best Case Scenario: Once audiences see that it’s not a total downer, they could turn up in droves.

Unless: Prequel, sequel, whatever–it’s still a remake of a remake. The original remains top notch and Winstead is no Kurt Russell.

Best Case Scenario: Hollywood finally starts remaking lousy movies and not classics.

Tower Heist (Nov. 4) The Gist: Ensemble comedy, stars Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck and Matthew Broderick Why It Could Rock: After slumming it in bad kiddie comedies, we get to see Murphy be funny again. Lightweight comedy with a grade-A cast. Director Brett Ratner is known for Rush Hour but he also did Red Dragon and The Family Man. Unless: Ratner is also responsible for Rush Hour 3 and X:Men The Last Stand, so he’s far from a sure thing.

Best Case Scenario: Because of this, Murphy finally gets his R-rated Beverly Hills Cop IV greenlit.

The Muppets (Nov. 23) The Gist: Musical/comedy, stars a frog, a pig, a piano playing dog, something called a “Gonzo.”

Why It Could Rock: Star/co-writer Jason Segal aims for classic Muppet madness and is a huge fan. Co-star Amy Adams is back in Enchanted territory. Loaded with nostalgia and star cameos.

Unless: It’s cornier than Muppets in Space.

Best Case Scenario: Segal makes his Dracula puppet musical from Forgetting Sarah Marshall into a full blown movie.

The Thing (Oct.14)

Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol (December)

The Gist: Remake of the John Carpenter classic, stars Mary Elisabeth Winstead.

Why It Could Rock: Reportedly light in CGI, heavy on atmosphere, practical effects and stomach churning suspense. Said to be a prequel to the first film.

The Gist: Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF team are now on the run criminals.

Why It Could Rock: The line-up is top notch, with Brad Bird (The Incredibles) directing, J.J. Abrams producing and a cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton

50/50

and Ving Rhames.

Unless: Cruise, formerly the biggest movie star in the world, is still struggling to win his audience back and Knight and Day didn’t do it. This could be his last big chance for a major return.

Best Case Scenario: This and next summer’s Rock of Ages remind us why Cruise gave us the need for speed.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (December) The Gist: Director David Fincher adapts the bestselling novel, stars Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara and Christopher Plummer.

Why It Could Rock: Mixing the director of Seven with one of the darkest novels in the last decade feels like a no-brainer.

Unless: The story is so graphic, there may be mass audience walk-outs. Plus, the Swedish film version came out last year and already did a fine job of telling this story.

Best Case Scenario: It plays like the alternative Christmas movie, not the holiday movie no one sees.

We Bought a Zoo (Dec. 23) The Gist: Cameron Crowe writes and directs this comedy starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson.

Why It Could Rock: Based on a true story, the last time Crowe got this warm and fuzzy (and funny) was Jerry Maguire.

Unless: It plays like Zookeeper without the talking animals. Are Damon and Johansson right for this movie? Will Crowe finally put Elizabethtown behind him or will this also be too long and overly indulgent?

Best Case Scenario: “Hooray, we bought a freakin’ zoo!” becomes the next “Show me the money!” ■ barry@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1512f

Y

eah, but this is Maui” is a double-edged maxim, used either as an excuse of or an exaltation at the way things can be (or at least seem) different here. So yeah, that said, paradisiacal paradoxes—be them good, bad or ugly—flow from the Valley Isle like Na Wai ‘Eha et alia once did. Therein we find ourselves immersed in myriad anomalies: like city-ish spaces created on a rural rock that’s international renown lends nonchalantly to live-in celebrities rubbing elbows with roughnecks (to name one too-obvious example); or that visitors who’ve exhausted thousands of dollars/miles to revel in our isolated utopia find their first sign of welcome posted outside a Krispy Kreme.

So, then, is strip mall-theater really such a weird thing? And one nestled next to Taco Bell, no less? No, not really—especially when it’s a hardworking outfit like ProArts Playhouse, a sweet Southside establishment that’s churning out season after season of quality shows.

Sure, the locale isn’t grandiose—but it’s intimate (just 80 seats), air-conditioned, and the walls are colored with a rotating exhibition of local art. And yeah, it isn’t going to land itself on the National Register of Historic Places any time soon, but consider the fact that the strip mall’s named for the beloved Bill Azeka, who—with a stock of sundries and a recipe for the most-ono ribs—prophetically pioneered Kihei’s transformation from quagmire to bustling business center.

But I digress. ProArts productions don’t disappoint and provide a great Southside option for theater lovers. Their latest, Social Security—directed by Kristi Scott—is worth a look-see.

Ironically, this play has never been one for the history books, despite its clever timelessness. Written by mostly unknown author Andrew Bergman (though he’s of Fletch and Blazing

Mother, may I?

Mmm... green silk (Front) L to R – Norman Halip, Joyce Romero (Back) L to R Kevin Hazelton, Chaney Cramer in “Social Security” Saddles fame), neither play nor playwright ascended to household name notoriety. Nonetheless, Social Security’s comedic themes are layered like a onion that’s both biting and sweet— which makes for no holds barred belly laughs.

Here’s the story line’s gist: a Manhattan couple, Barbara and David (Chaney Cramer and Kevin Hazelton)—who’ve done reasonably well for themselves as modern art dealers in the 1980s—have their lives upended when Barbara’s tightwad, straight-edge sister Trudy, and her accountant husband Martin (Angela Thompson [disclosure: Thompson is MauiTime Editor Anthony Pignataro’s girlfriend] and Jonathan Lehman/Jonathan Yudis), arrive on short notice. What’s the big deal? Well, to save their frosh daughter from dropping out of college for a life of two-dude debauchery, Trudy and Martin must themselves drop everything to rescue her—including Trudy and Barbara’s excessively demanding mother Sophie (Joyce Romero), whom Trudy has long been caretaker of, blaming this parental preoccupation as the crux of why she’s neglected her own parental duty.

Barbara and David can’t write-away dear ol’ mum with a check, and given little choice, begrudgingly take Sophie in. Hilarity ensues just as Sophie’s antics reach a head (because I want you to see the show, I’ll do you the favor of sparing you the spoiler), and character breakthroughs are made—largely at

the hand of Maurice Koenig (Norman Halip), a world-famous 100-year-old artist who’s come to Barbara and David’s for a fish dinner.

What’s most winning about ProArts’s execution of Social Security is, rightfully, its senior actors Romero and Halip, who steal the show after intermission. Both grasp the depth and point of their characters in a way that makes the audiences’ job—and enjoyment—effortless. And, the stage—another stunner by Caro Walker—is superbly crafted down to the slightest detail. Cramer, Hazelton, Thompson and Lehman as the in-laws all do fine work, but there are some issues with interpretation.

For example, there’s seems to be more Upper Midwest than downtown Manhattan in Barbara’s character (despite some accented attempt to indicate otherwise), and where it’s easy to understand a desire to convey the sort of businesswoman brute that would make a gallery owner trendy and successful, it might have better suited the character for Cramer to step out of her comfort zone and embrace a little socialite sly. This is especially the case as Barbara interacts with her husband David, who by his lines is a man who doesn’t need to spout witty one-liners and asides so as to intentionally elicit a laugh, but is rather so confident in his swagger he can say his peace as if for himself alone. Hazelton, who really looks the part, often acts beyond the fourth wall—and too good-natured, too boot—and stymies his character’s authenticity.

Similar critique can be said of Thompson, who’s new to the Maui theater scene. Thompson nails Trudy’s pathetic plight by conveying her despair with welling eyes so much so that I can’t help but mourn for her—and that’s good, though I ache to laugh at her. But it’s a little hard to suspend disbelief when both her youth and pleasant countenance betray Trudy’s stodgy, curmudgeon-in-the-making style.

During opening weekend, ProArts’s producer Jonathan Lehman filled-in for actor Jonathan Yudis, who returns to the show Sept. 8-18. While the isle’s yet to see Yudis’s performance, Lehman (who again, to his credit, was an understudy) as Martin felt askew in that his rants about his daughter’s sexual exploits were more in awe than enraged (and that came across as a little creepy). Any daughter knows that a daddy trying to spit those explicit descriptions past the clinched-jaw gates of his fury would rather (if not already) have a brain aneurysm.

But again, I digress. The players are good and the play itself is great fun. Sure, it isn’t perfect—but what is? In fact, while it might be easy to pawn off such minor flaws as “yeah, but this is Maui,” it’s actually symptomatic of small theater anywhere; and the Maui maxim in this case turns its blade to the friendlier edge. Considering tight time frames and even tighter budgets, the whole shebang is all the more impressive.

So do yourself a favor and drive yourself down to historic Azeka Makai, cozy up with 79 of your Kihei pals (ooh, and don’t forget to get a concession stand candy bar), and enjoy the show. ■

Totally Syked Friday (Sept. 9), 8pm, Castle Theater, MACC (One Cameron Way, Kahului); $56/$66/$76 Edgy and unapologetic, Wanda Sykes has got sassy wit that’s helped her earn everything from an Emmy for her work writing for The Chris Rock Show to being named one of America’s 25 funniest people by Entertainment Weekly. Sure, her filmography’s heavy with animated kids’ flicks like Barnyard (as Bessy the Cow) and Rio (as Flora the Canadian goose), but that speaks to being in-demand—and damned well-paid. (Never mind that her role as heroine Biggie Shorty in Pootie

Tang, I think, is “too cool for words.” If you’re now laughing at me because I think Pootie Tang is intentionally understated genius, you just wait until Harvard starts offering sociology degrees in Sa Da Tay!) And then there’s her TV credits: whoowee, how much time do you have?! Sykes has had roles in everything from Curb Your Enthusiasm, to Crank Yankers, to Chappelle’s Show, to MADtv, and of course, her own Wanda At Large and The Wanda Skyes Show. This Friday, Sykes stops off at the MACC to perform her “I’ma Be Me” stand-up—and I’ma betting that Valley Isle fans who don’t treat themselves to a live dose of this star comedienne are gonna be jealous of those who did.

and Saint Damien’s legend has continued to grow. “There is a lot of myth about the man,” says linguist and professor Vinnie Linares, who this weekend reprises his role in Damien, the hit one-man show by Aldyth Morris. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the show’s inception, Linares says that over the last decade the show’s raised over $50,000 for local charities.

Today, we know that leprosy (Hansen’s disease) isn’t as horrifyingly contagious as folklore attests. It’s treatable, the afflicted’s limbs don’t really fall off (though if untreated it is highly disfiguring, and can cause nasal and joint cartilage to dissolve), and 95 percent of the population is Patients and a Saint naturally immune. But since biblical times, those affected by this chronic bacterial disease have been socially ostracized by its stigma of impurity; an analogy for sin and oft the repercussion of the Judeo-Christian god’s smiting judgment. (Interesting note: there are 68 references to leprosy in The Bible—55 in the Old Testament and 13 in end’s three performances at the Iao the New Testament—but scholars suggest Theater are entirely free.

The Yardbirds are more than a Rock band... they are an institution... which, in the brief period from 1963 to 1968, made an indelible mark on the “Shapes of Things” to come. To the casual music fan, the Yardbirds are best known as the band that honed the skills of future “guitar gods” Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page; and for their slew of chart hits, including “For Your Love,” “Heart Full of Soul”, “I’m A Man”, and “Over Under Sideways Down”.

H A W A I I ’ S

P A R T Y

S T A T I O N

W

henever I happen to meet readers in person—and can’t skirt mumbling my name or how I make a living—I’m met with reactions like, “Wait—are you Anu from MauiTime?!

Oh, you’re the ninja girl!” or “Oh, you’re the Kula girl!” (And on one occasion, a baroness of backhanded compliments told me, “Hmm, I wouldn’t have guessed—by the way that you speak—that you write the way you do.” Um, thanks?) Then, I’m often subject to a confused look as they, quite obviously, weren’t expecting that the person behind the pen to be such a freaky-fro’d clunker of a khaki-clad kanaka.

Look, it’s a big honor to know that anyone other than my Nana will hunt down a new issue every Thursday and read my blather—let alone that I’ve earned a laugh or two (or so I’ve been told, but refuse to believe). Still, though said living has in part been made on this back-of-the-book page by publicly airing every way I am an embarrassment to humanity, I can’t help but be evermore embarrassed.

Point is, thanks. Seriously. Also, as these interactions have now become a daily ordeal, I want to clarify a few common questions in (hopefully) one swoop.

First, to address the issue of how I look IRL: sorry! If I could protect you all by wearing a paper bag perforated by only two eye-pukas, I would—but it’s hard to check my blind spot li’ dat. A lot of people think my decidedly sweet-and Asian-looking avatar (fooled you!) is some play on the whole “the pen is mightier than the sword” thing.

That was a happy mistake, really. Truth is, I used to do little else with my free time than practice samurai sword fighting under the tutelage of Bob Sensei and Guy Sensei, at the Okinawan Kenjin Kai on Tuesdays and Friday nights (6-9pm). But for more than two years, free time has become fiction and deadlines have taken precedence over my study of deadly arts (as my Jell-O jiggler arms can attest). Oh, and I don’t wear a bun anymore because chemotherapy makes your hair fall out (hence my headhair’s ridiculously poofy return).

Second, I haven’t actually lived in Kula since I was a teenager. But, Kula is forever my one and only hometown, so when I had to make a quick call as to what to title this column (and my predecessors having already taken both good names: “Holo Holo Girl” and “Restless Native”), I jumped to “Kula Kid.” A lot people have said they think it’s because it sounds like “cool kid,” which I’m blatantly anything but. Rather, since this space is all about sharing perspective—and for me that perspective is rooted in Hawaii being home—my view, so to speak, is and will always be from Kula.

And if I can wade away from the shallows for a moment, Kula to me illustrates something else. The once-forest now pastureland has been called “the epicenter of extinction in the Hawaiian Islands;” and as

I’m fond of saying, over 30 million years of Goldilocks evolution, was once home to the most stunning endemism on Earth. And perhaps for this, with my every breath, I’ve felt an inextricable sense of loss and displacement. From the onset, this is a theme I’ve wanted to explore more of, and as I head into my 60th column and beyond is something I’d finally like to make good on.

Which reminds me: why is homecoming always overdue? My Happy Valley home is, like, little more than half an hour from Upcountry, and still I manage to neglect visiting my folks for months on end! Anywhere— especially on an island—it’s inexcusable.

Besides, heaven to me is my right hand on the wheel, left hand catching air out the window. And so it was on my most recent— and horrifically belated—visit home, that I heard yet another fascinating story on NPR. In a “rare collision of music and environmental regulation,” Craig Havighurst reported that the Gibson Guitar Corporation in Tennessee was recently raided by federal marshals as the U.S. Justice Department prepares “to charge the famous builder of instruments with trafficking in illegally obtained wood [from Madagascar].”

Gibson Guitar CEO Henry Juszkiewicz was quoted, saying “Federal marshals were armed, came in, evacuated our factory, shut down production, sent our employees home and confiscated wood.” He added “We have been implicated in wrongdoing and we haven’t been charged with anything. Our business has been injured to millions of dollars.”

Say what?! That’s some Fern Gully shit!

But wait a minute—evil doers and great guitar-makers just doesn’t seem to jive.

At least, I can’t bear the thought. To boot, in the story, Attorney Ronald Bienstock “warned clients to be wary of traveling abroad with old guitars, because the law says owners can be asked to account for every wooden part of their guitars when reentering the U.S. The law also covers the trade in vintage instruments.”

To gain a little insight, I hit up guitar hero Tom Conway, who says he “grew up not far from the Gibson Guitar Company’s historic Kalamazoo, MI facility” and “feel[s] this latest round of persecution against them is unjust, to say the least.” Further, “the travel issue is just absurd. Most people can’t identify all the wood varieties in their guitars... will there be ‘wood cops’ at he airports?!”

Too true. Still, the story is unfolding as we speak—and all the facts have yet to be presented. If you want to discuss the issue, I’ll be hanging around our blog—or you we can chat IRL if you give me enough time to prepare a paper bag. ■

HOROSCOPE

Sign Language

BY CAERIEL CRESTIN VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

When you’re down, you’re not usually the type to sit around singing the blues. However, you may want to consider just that this week. Being proactive is great, and it’s a habit you shouldn’t lose. But every once in a while, it’d be great if you let someone else be there for you, even if you don’t technically need them—and that means letting them know you’re in distress. You don’t need to whine or bitch about it; there’s certainly a more graceful way (like singing the blues), to make your experience something that adds to your life, rather than detracts from it. Next time, find that.

Just because you feel horrible about a decision doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the wrong decision. You may feel so bad precisely because it’s the right one. Maybe you’d feel worse with the other options. Or maybe your choice spares others suffering, even while costing you your peace of mind. I’m sure you’ve given this a lot of thought by now. Whatever the source of your distress, if you’re pretty sure this is the right thing to do, you must stick to it resolutely. Backpedaling now, only to go down this road again later will just make things worse.

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS

...to questions on page 6

1. E. “The better man won the governor’s race.”

2. B. False (There are only two vector control staffers left covering the entire County of Maui) 3. D. One filing per 660 households.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

I don’t always have the mental wherewithal to take a step back from overly intense emotions and react in a way that’s at least tempered with logic—but I’m grateful when I do.

Things always go so much better that way, don’t you think?

This isn’t about denying or suppressing your feelings, but the opposite of that isn’t just allowing them to explode and run rampant, either. We’re gifted with both brain and heart— too much of one at the expense of the other can really screw shit up. It’s all about balancing the two—fortunately something you’re, well, amazing at. This week, show us just how amazing.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

When someone wins your heart, it doesn’t have to be an allaccess pass to your entire life, despite what some may tell you.

Of course, what and how much of your life (including your past) you share is entirely personal and depends on your individual relationships, but give yourself permission to withhold stuff that really doesn’t matter now or moving forward, and would only negatively impact the present. However, while keeping those secrets may help maintain the peace, ask yourself what kind of person would react so badly to that withheld stuff—and whether that’s who you want to be with.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

I’m a big fan of personal freedom, and think conscious choices we make that are likely to mostly only hurt ourselves ought to be okay. When they have a major tangible impact on others, however, it’s a different story. A woman who smokes during pregnancy, for example, has suddenly made a selfish decision to continue a habit that formerly hurt only her, but now will probably harshly affect her baby as well. One or more of your choices has recently expanded to impact more than just you— and thus must be reassessed. Shirking that this week would be almost criminal, so don’t.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

No one likes someone who complains about good fortune. It may not be quite as obvious to you, but your recent complaints sound an awful lot to others like, “Damn, I hate carrying my wallet, it’s too heavy because it’s so full of cash!” Does it surprise you much that you’re having trouble securing any kind of sympathy? Some of your problems are the kinds of difficulties other people would love to have, so quit your bitching. Try to focus on your many blessings, and if you simply must obsess about your problems, at least attempt to concentrate on the handful of real ones.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Not everyone has your keen mental facility to process your emotions and, generally, keep so damn cool. Some people get worked up a lot more easily, and about stuff that doesn’t really matter much, in the grand scheme of things. Luckily, you’re in a fantastic position to help them out. Trying to talk them out of their melodrama probably won’t work, or help much, so don’t bother. More visceral or engaging distractions are in order.

Luckily, you excel at such appealing diversions. Use your talents well this week—everyone will be the happier for it.

People get competitive about the most ridiculous shit sometimes—and you’re no exception. After all, there are few more competitive than you. When you engage in this stuff with a spirit of fun and sense of adventure, it adds to your life; when it starts becoming a source of negativity (for you or those around you), it may be time to get some perspective and cool it. As long as it’s really a game (for all concerned), then you’re golden.

When it somehow becomes more than that (and the stakes correspondingly get elevated), then back down and let it go, quickly, before this becomes drama it’s not worthy of.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Laugh, as much as possible, even (and especially) when you don’t particularly feel like it. Right now, almost all of your problems can be resolved (or made much lighter burdens) with humor. Of course, your great talent for generating laughs often understandably abandons you when stressed, angry, or upset.

This week, however, you should work towards reclaiming it even during those trying times. It’s still there, after all. Find it and use it. The more you do, the better you’ll get at employing that wonderfully versatile tool, laughter—and the easier and happier life will be.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Even when it feels like there’s no room for compassion in a decision that must be made, there is. Sure, out of the choices you’re currently aware of—the kind but stupid option or the smart but cruel one—it’s kind of a no-brainer, but there’s probably a middle ground option, one that lies well outside the box, which allows you to retain your humanity while also fulfilling your obligations. It may require extraordinary measures and creativity to make it work, but shouldn’t you—for your own sake as well as the others involved—at least try?

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Throw one loud, tone-deaf singer into a chorus of good voices and he can pretty much ruin any music they’re trying to make.

It doesn’t matter that they outnumber him ten to one; his discordant tones will screw up whatever harmonies they attempt to create. Similarly, much of the beauty and art we try to bring into the world can be easily sabotaged. However, you have ways to create loveliness even out of such (frequently unintended) negativity. It’s a rare gift, and one that’ll serve you well this week. Don’t use it just to make yourself look good though— employ it as a mirror to show people just how beautiful they can be; that they’d be even more beautiful if they worked with others, rather than against them, is a message that needn’t be articulated. They’ll figure it out on their own.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Never underestimate the raw power of the truth. It can’t fix everything (and in some contexts can seriously mess shit up).

But it may very well be able to repair the specific problems in front of you; even if it can’t, it can certainly make them less intense and extreme. Don’t try to hide it, or surround it with stuff you think others would like to hear. You are what you are, and even though you could paint a “better” picture—perhaps the you you’d like to become—just owning who and what you are right now will serve you much, much better.
