FULL SERVICE SALON:

BY READERS LIKE YOU experimental, mutagenic crop pollen? Not OCCUPY MAUI’S OCTOPUS really. But they should expect us not to forget‌ REVEALED! The Occupy Octopi vs. the Vampire Squid: a meme introduced by Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone in his coverage of Occupy Wall Street and how the corporacratic [sic] hydra’s corrupting tentacles get into all aspects of the public sector, extracting wealth and health from all it infects (Coconut Wireless, Feb. 9, 2012).

We originally went to the county [to see] if they could ask the MPD to back off a bit: why were we encountering such interest all of a sudden at our actions? Why even build their police satellite station next door to Monsanto, for that matter? But I, for one, am getting more furious [that] the county sees fit to keep denying facts we incontrovertibly documented, as if they were there. We were.

Watch the footage. We also went to great lengths beforehand to ensure our encampment plan was solid and legal. We have made many inquiries and remain unaware of any law or ordinances which would disallow us from exercising our free assembly and speech rights... [We] unite together to expose, condemn and evict these corporate war criminals and human rghts abusers of the highest order from Maui. What laws, we ask if you’re quoted right, Mr. [Rod] Antone, would prevent us from lying by the road in safety there? Would they be the same that allow corporate “personâ€? entities to indiscriminantly circumvent the precautionary principle and imperil not just those down wind, down stream or down the food chain directly from Monsanto’s reckless abominations, but our planetary genome entirely? It would seem you are going out of your way to demonstrate whose side you are on‌ corporate profits over the people of Maui in this instance.

I encourage Maui to stand alligned with the global rEvolution assembled in pursuit of consensus around what we can all find agreeable. OWS-Maui practices direct democracy consensus decision making and meets at 5pm Wednesdays at UHMC’s Free Speech Lawn. Our page on facebook.com/ OccupyMaui regularly feeds educational links and details regarding the rapidly developing events, including pressing legislation that’ll affect our island for generations to come.

I used to respect the OWS movement.

They had some clear goals and united under one banner. But as time passed, having a decentralized core was it’s downfall. No clear leaders and no clear goals echoed by everyone. Then you hear of the way some OWS camps degenerated into homeless camps. It also didn’t help there was an image problem, the way people acted against LEO’s, disrespected public and private property, and the like. Even the message got muddled when people added in their own “pet projects� and causes. Hell, it also strayed away from the “99%� cause in various ways, mostly Nowadays, OWS is nothing more than a joke. A great cause done in by it’s own making. Maybe there is some possibility of salvaging the cause, but I doubt it when people do stupid shit like what’s above and instill in the minds of the “99%� that the folks involved in OWS are nothing more than a bunch of dirty hippies and “free thinkers� doing stupid stuff.

Just for the record... regarding “Their little Occupy protest� where “a state official asked them politely to leave...� If “politely� includes “accompanied by lots of MPD officers and threats to arrest them immediately for criminal trespass and seize all their tents and equipment,� then the report meets reasonable standards of accuracy. Otherwise, as to the “new front in the campaign,� Occupy here and across the US is involved in both direct an indirect actions–physical occupations, yes, but also campaigns to repeal Citizens’ United, call an Article V convention, etc. OWS pressure is credited for the fact that the foreclosure settlement still left homeowners and states some remedies to sue, for example.

We’ve worked very hard here to avoid direct confrontation and stay non-violent–would you rather see us “pepper-sprayed and clubbed� on High Street to prove a point, than work on causes that matter in the best way(s) we can?

UH PROFESSOR’S UNION ENDORSES CASE A new Honolulu Star-Advertiser/Hawaii News Now poll of likely Democratic voters puts Congressmember Mazie Hirono (D-2nd District) 20 points above rival Ed Case, and also 20 points up on likely Republican candidate Linda Lingle. That would seem to tie it up for Hirono, except for two small items.

First, the poll also shows Case beating Lingle by 20 points in a November match-up. And second, Case just secured a fairly important endorsement from the University of Hawaii Professional As-

sembly, a union representing 4,000 UH faculty members.

“We believe Ed Case showed a seasoned perspective of the role of public higher education, and presented comprehensive solutions to challenges facing faculty that clearly showed his ability to draw connections,” said Adrienne Valdez, UHPA board president, in a Feb. 11 press release. “We believe he will earnestly reach out to faculty to explore possible solutions to issues if he is elected to the U.S. Senate.”

It’s good news for Case, but as blogger Ian Lind (ilind.net) noted this week, it’s also unusual. “Case is a much more conservative Democrat than Hirono and at odds with the party mainstream,” Lind wrote. “I question whether his conservative views will really be able to draw support from the majority of UH faculty.”

There’s still a lot of time before the election, but it’s still shocking to see Lingle trailing so far behind whichever person wins the Democratic nomination. ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1535n1

fter years of Hawaiian studies in grade school I absorbed more about the land owning habits of missionaries than what notable everyday individuals were doing–especially African Americans who lived here. Local historian Adesina Ogunelese shares this view.

“American schools are not getting better,” says Ogunelese. "I just read an article in Ebony yesterday that only a few states require Civil Rights history to be taught in schools; almost none in the South. We need to require that other cultures who have touched the history of the US are included in our public and private schools. However, I don’t see this happening any time soon.”

Years ago, Ogunelese moved to Maui to work for Iwalani Mottl, the daughter of a man named Nolle Smith. Later, she discovered a 1968 book in Mottl’s library titled Nolle Smith, Cowboy, Engineer, Statesman, which was written by Bobette Gugliotta. Smith had moved from Wyoming to Hawaii in 1915 to work for the Department of Public Works. The son of a white father and African American mother, he got himself elected to the Territorial Legislature in 1928 and addressed his constituents in their native language. His successes in office included removing the poll tax as a requirement for voting.

Learning about Smith peaked Ogunelese’s interest in finding more African American history in Hawaii.

“I discovered the history of African Americans in Hawaii quite by accident,” she told me.

“I didn’t know when I arrived here that any history existed. After reading [Gugliotta’s] book, this sparked my interest to find other books and articles about black American contributions to Hawaii.”

Ogunelese soon discovered Betsy Stockton, a former slave who became the first unmarried American woman sent overseas as a missionary. Her destination? Lahaina.

Here’s an excerpt from African-American Religion: A Historical Interpretation with Representative Documents, edited by David W. Wills and Albert J. Raboteau, which analyzes her diary: “The company disembarks and stays at

Betsey Stockton

the main mission settlement in Honolulu, or Honoruru as it was then spelled. She visits several times with Anthony Allen, a black settler from the Albany, New York, area, who tells her he has never in his twenty years there seen “a colored female”: his wife is a Hawaiian. After two weeks the new missionaries agree to move on to other islands, the Stewarts and Stockton heading with another couple to Lahaina on the island of Maui, a three-day sail from Honolulu, and moving

into a house found for them by an American resident there. The diary concludes with the visit of the Hawaiian king to Maui and on June 29, 1823, of Stockton being asked by the queen to sit next to her, even though they could barely understand each other’s language. The next day one of the king’s sons asks her to teach him English, and Stockton immediately starts a school with ten students, English and Hawaiian.”

Stockton’s career on Maui was short; she returned to the mainland just two years later but her school for the “Makeainana, or lower class of people” was kept running by another missionary in Lahaina.

Another innovator was Alice Ball, an African American who graduated with a masters in chemistry from the University of Hawaii and helped discover an early cure for Hansen’s disease. She died at the very early age of 24, and her professor took credit for her work. It wasn’t

Alice Ball

until 2007–90 years after her death–that Ball was suitably honored with the Regent’s Medal of Distinction.

Then there’s Helene Hale, the first African American elected to office in the State of Hawaii, as well as the first woman to hold an executive position since Queen Liluokalani. She served in public office on Hawaii Island for more than a quarter century, helped found the Merrie Monarch Festival and won an election to the State House of Representatives in 2000 at the age of 84. Campaign ads for that race showed her in a bathing suit with the slogan “Recycle Helene Hale.”

African Americans make up just 2.4 percent of Hawaii’s population, which helps explain why their accomplishments are all but ignored in local history texts. This needs to stop, especially given that the most famous African American from Hawaii is our current President Barack Obama. A Honolulu native, he graduated from Punahou School.

According to Ogunelese, those wanting more information on African Americans from Hawaii should check out Ayin Adams’ book African Americans in Hawaii: A Search for Identity. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1535n2

LOCAL PLUGS

BY JEN RUSSO

FREECYCLE DAY AT BALDWIN HIGH You don’t need to contribute to our island’s landfill problems just because you have stuff that needs to go. Instead, how about donating all that useless but otherwise still viable hardware to the recycling day at Baldwin High School?

Hammerhead Recycling and Community Work Day Program have hui’d together to coordinate this day of sustainability with several other of the island’s recycling agencies. On Saturday, Feb. 25, bring scrap metal, bicycles, appliances, beverage containers, cooking oil, cellular phones, household batteries, vehicle batteries, laptop batteries, printer cartridges, newspaper, cardboard, telephone books, magazines, plastic grocery bags, used eye glasses, hearing aids, books, reusable paint, clothing and other household items to the high school between 8am and 2pm. You will be rid of these items, and keep them out of the landfill.

But please don’t bring electronic waste, television sets, tires, motor oil or other hazardous fluids. There won’t be anyone there who can handle them. Participants are also encouraged to bring a non-perishable donation for the Maui Food Bank.

For more information, please contact Community Work Day Program at 8772524 or visit cwdhawaii.org.

HYATT HIRES NEW MARKETING DIRECTOR

completion of an extensive $21 million facelift, culminating with an extensive renovation of the lobby and Atrium room corridors. Earlier changes included stylishly updated guestrooms and an exciting new restaurant, Japengo, which specializes in Pacific Rim cuisine and sushi.

“I’m excited to be joining such a vibrant and passionate group at Hyatt Regency Maui,” said Hardesty. “I look forward to working with this team to focus our efforts on developing marketing and sales strategies to help increase group and leisure business and leverage the resort’s authentic Hawaiian hospitality.”

HORSE WHISPERERS THROW DOWN Russell Beatty spent much of last year travelling the Mainland and performing in 17 different colt starting challenges. Now he brings the show to Maui in a throwdown of skills against Tamalyn Baldwin of Piiholo Ranch. Both contestants will get a round pen and a green horse–one never saddled, bridled, had a blanket on its back or been ridden. The object is to tame and ride their horse using natural horsemanship methods.

“Folks come to see a colt starting challenge event as people love to watch a good wreck,” said Beatty. “The trick is not to get yourself in one.”

The riders must also ride their horse through an obstacle course in the arena.

First the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa got a facelift. Now the resort is getting a new Sales and Marketing Director: Nate Hardesty.

Hardesty comes to the island after more than a decade with the Hyatt Hotels Brand, most recently at the Lake Tahoe Resort.

“Coming off of the property’s recent multi-million dollar renovation, we’re excited to have Nate aboard to help promote the resort and showcase the upgraded guestrooms, new dining destination Japengo and our transformed lobby arrival experience,” said Michael Jokovich, the Hyatt’s general manager.

Hardesty joins the property after the

Then the judges decide who has the most points and wins the challenge.

The competition spans two days, Feb. 25-26. It runs two hours on the first day and one and a half hours on the second. Beatty will also host a two-day clinic on natural horsemanship for horse owners March 10-11.

“You have an owner manual for almost everything you own, but yet you don’t have an owner manual for your horse,” Beatty said. “Many people own horses, yet they are not confident, safe and out riding as often as they should. Knowledge is power. I really enjoy teaching people about their horse to unlock all their horse’s secrets.”

The event is free to public and organizers ask that everyone bring their own chairs. For more information, call Cristy Beatty at 269-3408 or Russell Beatty at 250-9949 or check out hawaiiancoltstartingchallenge.com.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY CHUCK SHEPARD

DEMENTIAVILLE Swiss health officials have authorized construction of an assisted-living “village” of 1950s-style homes and gardens designed to “remind” patients with Alzheimer’s and similar afflictions of surroundings that they might actually recall and with which they might be more comfortable and secure than they are with modern life. The 150-resident grounds, near the city of Bern, will be similar to a Dutch facility set up in 2009 in a suburb of Amsterdam. “To reinforce an atmosphere of normality,” reported London’s The Independent in January, the Swiss caretakers will dress as gardeners, hairdressers, shop assistants and the like.

CAN’T POSSIBLY BE TRUE The varsity girls’ basketball teams at predominantly white Kenmore East High School near Buffalo, N.Y., have, for several years, apparently, psyched themselves up in a pre-game locker-room ritual by chanting, “One, Two, Three, [n-word]!” before running out the door and onto the court.

Although the white players this year called the use of the word a “tradition” (passed down from year to year), and not a racial “label,” the team’s only black player not surprisingly had a problem with it and reported it to school officials. According to a December Buffalo News report, it was always a players-only tradition, and no adult was aware of the chant, but upon learning of it, officials immediately imposed player suspensions and team penalties.

“gained about (11 pounds) in muscle,” which helped him with “stamina.”

NOT ONE SECOND LONGER WITH THAT WENCH A man identified as Antonio C., 99, filed for divorce in December against his wife of 77 years, Rosa C., age 96, in Rome, Italy. According to an ANSA news agency report, Antonio became upset when he discovered 50-yearold letters from an affair Rosa once had.

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT

ound on the road to Kahakuloa: one dead green sea turtle, speared in the head. Wanted: The loser who did this to die in the same sick and painful way. I just hope one thing, you murdering loser–I hope that you ate that turtle and said a prayer thanking him for giving his life to you. Karma, as you will probably find out, is heavy, and I'd say that green sea turtle karma is 10 times as powerful as human karma. Now all of Maui knows what you did, and you have to live with it. This is really heavy, brah, and I still can't believe what happened. ■

SAY WHAT? Benjamin North, 26, was apprehended by deputies in Humboldt County, Calif., because they were pretty sure he was the man who used a stolen credit card at a Safeway supermarket in December. They knew this because North, for some reason, insisted that the purchase be credited to his personal “Safeway Club” card, which he presented to the cashier along with the stolen card.

FINE POINTS OF THE LAW

The U.S. Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax matters revealed in January that the IRS certified 331 prison inmates as registered “tax preparers” during a recent 12-month period, including 43 who were serving life sentences. None of the 43, and fewer than one-fourth of the total, disclosed that they were in prison. The agency blamed a 2009 federal law intended to encourage online filing of tax returns, noting that “tax preparer” registration can now be accomplished online by passing a 120-question test. USA Today reported in February 2011 that prisoners filing false or fraudulent tax returns scammed the IRS out of nearly $39.1 million in 2009.

Gayane Zokhrabov, then 58, was knocked down by the flying corpse of Hiroyuki Joho, 18, during a rainstorm in Chicago in 2008, and in December 2011 filed a lawsuit against Joho’s estate for compensation for the various injuries she suffered that day (broken leg, broken wrist, shoulder pain). Joho’s corpse was “flying” because he had just been fatally struck by a fastmoving train as he dashed through the storm across several tracks–while Zokhrabov was waiting on a nearby station platform. A judge initially ruled that Zokhrabov’s injuries were not a “foreseeable” result of Joho’s crossing the tracks, but in December, a state appeals court reinstated the lawsuit.

In San Francisco, there is an annual refereed “Masturbate-a-thon,” and the supposed world record, set in 2009, is held by Masanobu Sato, who remained aroused for nine hours, 58 minutes. In a series of videos released recently, Sato calmly explained how he “practices” for about two hours every morning while his live-in girlfriend goes about her business (in one video, ironing). Sato said he trains by swimming twice a week and has

Brogan Rafferty, 16, in jail in Cleveland, Ohio, awaiting trial for assisting in at least one murder in a robbery scheme, wrote to his father in December (in a letter shared with the Plain Dealer) that he was certain God would not allow him to suffer a long prison sentence. That would mean, he wrote, that “all my meaningful family members would be dead” when he got out. “[N]o way God would do that to me.”

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME Police in London stepped up their search for the man who tried to rob the Halifax bank in October but escaped empty-handed. He had demanded 700,000 pounds from a bank employee and then, intending to hand over the bag that he had brought for the money, instead absentmindedly handed over his gun.

Realizing his mistake, he dashed out the door.

True Grassroots

Community Planning

How reWailuku is weaving a new future for one of Maui's most important towns.

By Anthony Pignataro

W

e’re sitting at a table on the sidewalk in front of the Wailuku Coffee Company, over on Market Street. As we chat, people walk by at speeds not that much slower than the cars just a few feet away. It’s a great place to be discussing the redevelopment of Wailuku Town.

“Wailuku used to be a real hub on Maui,” said Rod Antone, the County of Maui’s communications director. “There were a bunch of family-owned stores, bakeries, shoe stores. I don’t want to disparage what we have now, but it’s now pawn shops and a place where government workers work.”

I sipped my iced tea and looked around. Yeah, pawn shops bracketed the coffee shop. But I could see the small shop If The Shoe Fits directly across the street. And around the corner behind me was Four Sisters Bakery, a Wailuku institution. And I even walked here, directly from my office across the street.

And to be perfectly honest, cities change. Population centers change, forcing commercial development to adjust. A century ago, Wailuku was home to the Maui Grand Hotel, the most luxurious accommodations on the island (the artist Georgia O’Keeffe stayed there when she visited Maui in 1939). Today, a Chevron station sits on the site.

That being said, Wailuku needs work. Today a substantial number of homes ring Wailuku’s commercial core, and there

10

FEBRUARY 16, 2012

are few services (restaurants, night clubs, a grocery store) for these residents to use. Because so many people have to drive elsewhere to get groceries or anything else, the sidewalks around Wailuku Town have decayed into an obstacle course, marked with haphazard stretches of sidewalk–some of it ancient and pitted–or, more likely, narrow roads offering no protection for pedestrians whatsoever.

The county’s hoping a new effort called reWailuku will change things. David Yamashita, a county planner working with reWailuku, said the project began after Mayor Alan Arakawa, who grew up in Wailuku, asked the Planning Department for a vision of the town within the boundaries of the Maui Redevelopment Agency zone.

“ReWailuku is the first real step to making Wailuku a town like it used to be,” said Antone. “They’re asking questions. It’s grassroots community planning with the community having a real voice.” Antone added that Arakawa has been so pleased with the effort thus far that he recently presented the reWailuku project to a mayoral conference in Las Vegas.

For the last month, Yamashita and fellow county planner Erin Wade have worked out of an old storefront near the corner of Market and Main. But rather than sit there drawing on computers, they’ve spent their days posting photos and giant sheets of butcher paper on the walls.

Over the last month, nearly 500 people have walked in. The photos of many of them–as well as a massive satellite image of Wailuku and Kahului–cover a wall near the ReWailuku entrance.

The reWailuku experience requires a great deal of

audience participation. All over the room, residents have scribbled on Post-It notes or written comments on butcher paper or placed little colored dots on 50 photos of street scenes from around the world. The photos include shots of street festivals, plazas, sidewalk cafes, storefronts, parks–a entire photo essay of urban life around the world. The project also benefits from a series of “walking audits” organized by Dan Burden, executive director of the Walkable and Living Communities Institute in Port Townshend, Washington (though the county didn’t hire Burden, his findings will be made part of the final reWailuku project).

For Wade and Yamashita, it’s all a bit bewildering. Looking over the wall, I noticed that one photo of a city street had a Post-It marked “Too urban” and few dots. But directly beneath it, another photo of a street that looked remarkably similar was covered in dots.

“It might be the pavement,” Wade speculated, saying the unpopular photo had an asphalt street while the popular one had stamped concrete, suggesting brick work. “Or maybe it’s that the buildings [in the “too urban” photo] seem high-rise.”

Because of the subjective nature of the project, Wade and Yamashita try to converse with people placing dots to find out what exactly they like.

“Design is not science,” Yamashita said. “It’s trial and error.”

Of course, it can also be poetry. The far wall is covered in butcher paper. Above each sheet is a fill-in-the-blank question about Wailuku. It’s another way Wade and Yamashita set it up for people to tell them what they want the town to look like.

Under the question “I wish there was a place to [BLANK] in Wailuku,” residents wrote some very interesting answers: “Buy healthy groceries.”

“Enjoy adult beverages responsibly.”

“Sit on ‘grassey’ patches of land that invite me to hang out with my shoes off...”

Somehow over the next few months, Yamashita and Wade need to distill all this community feedback into a detailed financing plan that includes hard numbers illustrating how much money they need, how much sidewalk concrete they need poured, and so on.

On Feb. 9, Governor Neil Abercrombie stopped by the reWailuku office to offer his own ideas and support. He was effusive in his praise of the project, repeatedly using words like “exciting” and “tremendous” and “impressive.”

“I did not comprehend when I came that it would be this exciting and comprehensive,” he said. “It’s quite thrilling to be here.”

Rather than simply shake hands, make a speech and pose for a group photo (though he did all those things), Abercrombie seemed genuinely interested in the project. After walking around the room and placing a couple dots on photos he said reminded him of street scenes in Paris, he and many of the few dozen people in attendance sat on folding chairs and actually discussed Wailuku and redevelopment theory.

“How do you take an urban center and humanize it?”

Abercrombie asked rhetorically. “We’re not asked to imagine something in the abstract that ends up being a George Lucas film. ‘Where can you walk?’ is virtually unheard of these days in an urban area. Even a path to a parking garage–if it’s landscaped, you have a different view of the world around you.

Lewis Mumford would be so pleased, I’m sure.”

That’s right: Abercrombie referenced sociologist and writer Lewis Mumford. Twice, actually, by my count. The architect Frank Lloyd Wright, too.

Mumford lived from 1895 to 1990. He wrote a lot about a lot, but Abercrombie kept going back to him because of his writings on cities and urban life. For instance, Mumford writing a half century ago about a subject near and dear to our hearts today that has particular relevance to the reWailuku project: “The right

“REWAILUKU is the first real step to making Wailuku a town like it used to be.” to have access to every building in the city by private motorcar in an age when everyone possesses such a vehicle is the right to destroy the city.”

In many ways, reWailuku is an attempt to deal with cars. And the centerpiece of that attempt is the Parking Structure, slated for construction on the Wailuku Municipal Parking Lot, which is bordered by Market, Main, Vineyard and Church streets.

One of the most striking images tacked up on the reWailuku walls is the “Wailuku Town Concept Sketch.” It was drawn up by Yamashita, who insists that it’s “merely a concept and is meant as a starting point” in discussions on making a dent in Wailuku’s 748-parking space deficit.

Wade said reaction to the whole idea of building a parking structure in the center of Wailuku (which dates back many years, in fact) has been “mixed.” Judging by the residents who scrawled “Yes” and “Hell No” (Wade scratched out the “Hell”) on a parking structure concept sheet, “mixed” is an understatement. In fact, the proposed parking garage is incredibly controversial, in part because no one has yet come forward with an explanation of where all the people (mostly government employees) would park during construction.

Yamashita’s concept mixes parking with pedestrian corridors.

Wade said some of those corridors take ad hoc paths locals take by cutting across various lots to get around town and make them official, with added lights and landscaping. The concept also rebuilds old Pili Street, which would otherwise bisect the

parking lot, and adds a number of mixed use buildings, trees and even a small plaza on Vineyard Street.

Wade said some of the new mixed use shops would be just 20 feet deep, allowing for the kind of small noodle houses and restaurants found in cities like Portland. The concept also shows the small grassy lot used as a beer garden during First Friday parties becoming a mixed-use development, but Wade said many residents said they liked having just a small plot of grass–to say nothing of its gorgeous mural–in the middle of town.

Whether Yamashita’s concept goes forward, or something entirely new comes around, something will have to be done about the town’s parking situation because no matter how much we hate our cars, they’re not going away. Of course, making Wailuku an easier town to walk in and through will go a long way to helping.

In fact, Abercrombie noted during his visit that people seemingly have no problem walking the length of the Queen Kaahumanu Center in Kahului, but balk at crossing Wailuku Town on foot, even though the distances are roughly equivalent. Or, as one woman said to Yamashita during her visit to the reWailuku project, “People need to get used to walking again.”

Given the financial and physical land constraints facing Wailuku, there really doesn’t seem to be any other solution. ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1535L

Plantains for The People Da Puerto Rican Food Truck is open for business

BY JEN RUSSO

W

hen Mauians think of Puerto Rican food, they tend to gravitate towards the pastele. You seen them sold on the side of the road.

You many not even know what a pastele is or that it’s even Puerto Rican food, but the name is very familiar.

Jose and Amanda Antonmattei, with the help of Da Puerto Rican Food Truck (@DaPRFT), are changing that. They’re introducing foods like empanadillas, pastelon de amarillo, tostones, sofrito and papa rellenos into island’s vernacular.

The Twitter foodie flock first found the Puerto Rican Food Truck in Kahului, over near Ace Hardware. Amanda says they thought Twitter and Facebook would be a great way to get the word out about their food. Undeterred by

views of hubcaps, we threw down beach chairs and blankets on a slice of nearby grass and dug in.

Foodie Elena Rego (@ ElenaRego) was our unofficial guide. According to her, Puerto Rican food is close in tradition to Cuban food, where she has roots (visit her food blog at foodpractice.com). Rego says pork is very important to the cuisine, as is the ever-prominent plantain. Several variations of rice and beans are served in just about every

Chef Jose Antonmattei

@DJSMOOK samples the El Cubano

dish from the truck.

Jose is the perfect ambassador for Puerto Rican food, recreating his mother and grandmother’s dishes for us but also not afraid to take risks by tweaking recipes to his Maui taste. One of those risks that’s paying off is his gandule rice ball.

“If you made these in Puerto Rico, nobody would get this,” says Jose. “But here, rice balls are already a wellknown food. We experimented and made this big pot of gandule rice but it didn’t come out the way we anticipated. I didn’t want to throw it out so I came up with this. We stuffed it with cheese, rolled it in breading and deep-fried it. I can sell these all day long.”

Puerto Rican cuisine is well known for its deep-fried bites.

The empanadilla is a rich pork pie, deep-fried on the spot and served with a pink garlic aioli that Jose says to “dip often.”

The swine inside the thin and crispy dough is juicy though, and though you don’t need the dip to lubricate, the flavors are addicting. The tostones (fried plantains), papa rellena (fried potato ball stuffed with beef) are more examples of Puerto Rico’s habit-forming foods.

The El Cubano is a sandwich stuffed with seasoned, roasted pulled pork called boricua, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard and then served on a white roll that’s crisped and pressed on the outside. Rego was considering dropping her gluten-free status for a bite of this extremely popular Cuban dish. The sandwich is a great example of the layers of Puerto Rican cuisine in which Taino, Spanish, Caribbean, African and American influences converge in flavor and texture.

Another traditional fusion dish is the Pastelon de Amarillos. At the truck, plantains from Kula produce are fried to provide the sweet side of the dish. The plantains are sliced

into diagonal ovals, and remind me of Japanese eggplant, but with a completely different taste and firmer texture.

Then the plantains are layered with @DAPRFT’s picadillo, seasoned ground beef and Jack cheese, becoming a glutenfree Puerto Rican lasagna.

The Antonmatteis do their best to supply vegetarian cuisine, too: they offer Empanadillas made with rice and beans, green salads, plantains with the arroz con habichuelas coloredas, rice with sofrito herbs and kidney beans.

If you don’t see something on the menu, just ask Jose.

Da Puerto Rican Food truck throws down all over the island (and caters, too) but they seem to have settled into a regular gig at the Long’s in Kula. You can find them there Sunday and Monday for lunch, and Thursday and Friday for lunch and dinner. There’s a spot of grass there to bring a chair and eat your meal, or you can get it to go.

To find the truck, message them on Twitter @DaPRFT, check their Facebook page ("Da Puerto Rican Food Truck"), call 250-9482 or visit dapuertoricanfoodtruck.com. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso

HOP’s free flapjack day is no joke. They’ve been raising millions on National Pancake Day for kids. On Feb. 28, from 7am to 10pm, Miss America Laura Kaeppeler will put on an IHOP apron in hopes of raising more than $2.7 million for children’s hospitals. On that day, guests at all IHOPs nationwide will get free pancakes, as well as a request that they contribute to a local children’s charity or the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in return.

To spread the word, several Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ celebrity supporters have joined forces to wake up fans and encourage them to seek out free pancakes on Tuesday, Feb. 28. Hotcake enthusiasts can register to receive a wake up call on National Pancake Day from Kaeppeler, NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals co-founders John Schneider and Marie Osmond, singers David Archuleta and GRAMMY-nominated Jordin Sparks, Twilight star Boo Boo Stewart and Disney XD star Brendan Meyer. Wake up calls can be requested at IHOPPancakeDay.com through Friday, Feb. 24.

THREE CHEERS FOR PINK MARTINI – Portland’s Pink Martini is one of the few ensembles on Earth that can sculpt music into something that’s visceral yet palatial, rooted yet transmuted. And MauiTime’s own Ynez Tongson is one of the few writers on-isle who uses language in a way that’s supremely lithe and sparklingly on-point. So, we’re going to leave it to Tongson to describe Pink Martini (as she did the last time the 12-piece was on Maui, in March 2010): “If you’ve never had the joy of being intoxicated by Pink Martini, imagine how pop would sound if it met a time traveler and a linguist–and later, all three of them decided to go out for drinks. Do that, and you’ve got a pretty good idea of what it’s like to listen to [their] music that’s globally, historically and emotionally diverse. One moment you’re a signorina, shyly declaring your love in an Italian cafe, and the next you’re an unshaven hombre in Spain, laying in the gutter, clutching an empty bottle of red wine, trying to light your cigarillo. Whatever mood you’re in—happy, lovestruck, hopeful, cynical, sad, annoyed—Pink Martini’s got something you could toast to.” (PS: Arrive early for the pre-show dinner made available by Makawao Rodeo General Store, and stay late for the after-glow party in the Yokouchi Pavilion with music by Gene and Shea Argel.) $35 / $45 / $65. 7:30pm.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18 CIRCUS OF DREAMS: THE FIFTH ANNUAL SOURCE INTERACTIVE ARTS FESTIVAL – Fri., Feb. 17 through Mon., Feb. 20. Even if you took your wildest technicolor reverie and shoved it in a multiplication machine, turned the dial up to 11 and doused the product in intergalactic glitter (among other magical stuff), the result would still be just a fraction of the fun that’s to be had at the Source Interactive Arts Festival. A la Burning Man, Source (now an official “regional burn”) is a weekend where hundreds of local creatives convene for four days of stuff like–as MauiTime contributor Sara Tekula described in a 2010 story–”colorful, larger-than-life PHOTO BY KEITA MINAGAWA fuzzy cupcakes on wheels, powered by humans on bikes. An enormous, rideable LED-and propane-lit dragonfly with mechanical controls like those on a forklift. A replica of an oil derrick, 200 feet tall, rigged with a record-setting amount of jet fuel exploding into a mushroom cloud above you. A ‘psychic taxi cab’ ride that takes you not to your chosen destination, but where you are ‘meant to go’...” With regards to the latter, we’d like to make a prediction, too, and say you’re meant to go–and will have a blast if you do. A limited number of day passes are available for $80 online only. Weekend membership starts at $200 and is available online or at Choice (Lahaina), Wine Corner (Paia), Requests (Wailuku) and Dragon’s Den (Makawao). sourcemaui.com

WORLD WHALE DAY – The world needs more whales–but it could also use a few more whale idioms and expressions. Phrases like “whale of a time” and “big as a whale” just don’t cut it when it comes to describing these enigmatic denizens of the deep–especially in a place like Maui, “where thousands of humpback whales migrate... each winter [as its waters are] the principal mating and calving area of North Pacific humpback whales in the United States,” according to the Pacific Whale Foundation (PWF). Nonetheless, it’s apropos that the Maui Whale Festival is one of Maui’s (ahem) biggest festivals, expected to attract more than 17,000 attendees this year. Slated for this Sat., World Whale Day is the culminating event of a six-month season of educational festivities that celebrate Maui’s whales. Kicking-off the event is the Parade of Whales (9am), which boasts a bevy of floats and costumed sea characters. The main entertainment stage hosts headlining entertainers Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Willie K, Anuhea, Hapa, John Cruz, Marty Dread, Nuff Sedd, and Manute’a Nui E, and a new second stage features music for keiki and kupuna alike by Uncle Wayne & The Howling Dog Band, Lily Meola, Keisha the Hoopnatizer and Canada’s Chestemere High School Jazz Band, among others. “This is an opportunity to see and hear some of Hawaii’s most beloved and noted musicians, including several Hoku award-winning performers, all in one place–for free,” says Greg Kaufman, president and founder of PWF. “Many people bring their beach chairs and make a day of it–they don’t want to miss any of the great acts.” Plus, there’s a Keiki Carnival area (with infaltable rides, cotton candy and shave ice), nearly 100 local artisans selling Maui-made wares, loads of local nonprofit organizations at the event’s “Eco-Alley” and plene kine ono grinds–for breakfast, lunch and dinner–from area restaurants and food purveyors.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19 THE MAUI CHAPTER OF THE HAWAII SECULAR SOCIETY CELEBRATES DARWIN DAY – There’s no more rapturous a fact than evolution; that for 13.75 billion years since the Big Bang–as Charles Darwin eloquently concludes in The Origin of Species (1859)–”from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.”

Notwithstanding this, “atheist” is still a dirty word in the world today, and it’s sometimes hard for freethinkers to find nonreligious social groups. Enter the Hawaii Secular Society, “home for Hawaii’s outstanding community of atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, humanists, brights, skeptics, naturalists, and all other nontheists.” If you “love science, rational thought and critical thinking,” the group invites you to join ranks (it’s free!) and participate in their monthly meet-ups. February’s festivities are in celebration of Darwin Day (held on or around Feb. 12, Darwin’s birthday), and this Sun. the society’s Maui Chapter will congregate for a hike, happy die s hour libations and art reception. Free. 1pm. Cary & Eddie’s Hideaway Restaurant 11; secularhaw secularhawaii.org & Lounge (500 N. Puunene Ave., Kahului); 946-7811;

HAWAII UNITE MUSIC FESTIVAL WITH THIRD WORLD – Mana Maoli’s a “collective of educators, artists, musicians, cultural practitioners, community organizers, and families who share a vision... [to] facilitate individual and community healing and empowerment by fostering lifelong learners who think, feel, and act in ways that are pono.” The group’s music project–referred to as the Mana Maoli Collective–”donate their time and talent” to create CDs and concerts that help raise funds to support Hawaiian charter schools. Tonight’s big show features performances by this great group, including John Cruz, Paula Fuga, Mike Love, Lopaka Colon, Anuhea, Innavision and Kapali Keahi. Plus, the whole show’s augmented by international reggae superstars Third World and Tarrus Riley. $35 advance / $40 day-of. 4:30 gates / 5pm show.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 MAUI-STYLE MARDI GRAS FOR MANA’O – Much-loved d Mana’o Radio’s 10th anniversary is just around the corner (March 11)–closely followed by the fifth anniversary of the passing of its co-founder, Barry Shannon (April 7). Shannon left behind a nonpareil musical legacy on Maui–and a famous wife, Kathy Collins, who says, “It’s hard for me to believe that [Barry] has been gone for half the time we’ve been on the air, because his harpresence is felt so strongly at the station... [But] 10 years of shar-

ANUHEA For Love (AnuheaJams LLC; 2012) Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old Hawaiian proverb â&#x20AC;&#x153;he â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;epa ke aloha, he kulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ilua,â&#x20AC;? which literally means â&#x20AC;&#x153;love is peculiar; it pushes in opposite directionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;to love and be lovedâ&#x20AC;? (Mary Kawena Pukui, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Olelo Noâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eau). No matter which way you look at it, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to love about Mauiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Anuhea and her new album, For Love, released on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day (Feb. 14, 2012; AnuheaJams). A mix of poppy reggae tunes and smooth, intimate grooves, For Love explores the highs, lows and peculiar in-betweens of that beloved-and-loathed four-letter emotion. Anuhea describes the album as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;very diverse... [with] a little bit of everything that I am,â&#x20AC;? adding that she â&#x20AC;&#x153;worked closely with two producers on this album, JP Kennedy from The Green and Dwight Baker of Austin, Texas [whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also produced for Kelly Clarkson].â&#x20AC;? This partnership, Anuhea says, helped

ALL AGES NO COVER bring â&#x20AC;&#x153;a great combo of pop and reggae that I feel exemplifies me perfectly.â&#x20AC;? Songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simple Love Songâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Higher Than The Cloudsâ&#x20AC;? will leave love-struck listeners on cloud nine, meanwhile tracks like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crown Royalâ&#x20AC;? will have you lusting for a little (or a lot) of grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old cough medicine. A pleasantly surprising follow-up to her 2009 eponymous debut, Anuhea delves deeper in For Love with lyrically loaded tracks like â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Am I Doingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Not The Sameâ&#x20AC;? (written by Jacob Hemphil of SOJA)â&#x20AC;&#x201C;both of which, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta say, hit home in a way that left me the paranoid thought that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been reading my diary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the songs I wrote on the album came from the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;from real life experiences,â&#x20AC;? said Anuhea. So regardless of which direction For Love pushes you, your ears are sure to appreciate the smooth sound of Anuheaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest jams.

Strange But Lovely

Pull my finger.

The Secret World of Arrietty is not your typical cartoon

BY BARRY WURST II The Secret World of Arrietty

★★★★★

Rated PG/94 Min.

O

ne of the joys of the animated film The Secret World of Arrietty is how it can make the familiar seem new and extraordinary. In one of the introductory scenes, Arrietty Clock and her father, Pod, are quietly creeping into a home that isn’t theirs, on a mission to steal a block of sugar and tissue paper. It sounds easy and peculiar enough, with the exception of a key detail: the Clocks are no taller than your index finger, making an empty kitchen, and the larger world around them, a place of unpredictable danger. This lengthy, nail biting sequence, my favorite in the film, has no music but lots of ambient sounds and is rich in suspense and discovery.

The main human character is a sick young man with a heart condition who spends some of the film bedridden but finds time to communicate with Arrietty; he’s smitten with her, despite her eyes being the size of a freckle. It

20

FEBRUARY 16, 2012

makes the forbidden romance in Avatar look downright conventional (at least there, the lovers were roughly the same size).

If you’re familiar with Mary Norton’s classic children’s novel, The Borrowers (which became a live action John Goodman comedy 15 years ago) or remember the 1980’s cartoon show The Littles, you’ll be familiar with how the story and the characters work. The Clock’s world within our world is comfortable and close nit, with just Arrietty and her parents living in a tiny house within the floorboards of a human sized house, where everything from the family cat to falling off a kitchen counter presents a unique threat.

And if you know the name Hayao Miyazaki, you’ll understand why this isn’t like other children’s films, as Japanese animation master Miyazaki (sometimes referred to as “the Japanese Disney”) directed Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and, my favorite, Kiki’s Delivery Service. Miyazaki is the executive producer on Arrietty and it offers everything you’d expect from him: the characters are quirky but strikingly realistic in their movement and the same goes for the gorgeous environments, which resemble a painting with rich details of photo-realism.

From used postage stamps being mounted as pictures on the Clock’s wall to a sudden, frightening appearance by a crow, the details are always vivid and clever in their rendering.

This is the US version of the 2010 Japanese film (already a smash hit worldwide and now just being released stateside) and the changes made are acceptable but not always ideal. The American voice cast works well, particularly with Will Arnett’s endearingly gruff and no-nonsense Pod, his real-life wife, Amy Poehler, amusingly manic as Arrietty’s skittish mother and Carol Burnett gleefully voicing the film’s one unlikable role.

However, the way the voices rarely match the movement of the character’s mouths is distracting, akin to watching a bad American dubbing of a Godzilla film. There’s also the odd moment of an English speaking character reading a book back-to-front, with the title on the back cover written in Kanji.

Seeing the original Japanese film is clearly the preferred alternative but give the Disney company credit for recognizing the greatness in both Miyazaki and his traditional style of animation.

This strange, lovely film tells an involving story that will enchant animation and fantasy

lovers, as well as children up for something quiet but spellbinding and devoid of CGI busyness. Halfway through the film, an adorable three-year-old girl sitting in my row declared, quite audibly, “I love this movie, Momma.” So did my wife, who had never seen a Miyazaki film before. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1535f

All things proceed out of the same spirit, and all things conspire with it... The perception of this law of laws awakens in the mind a sentiment... which makes our highest happiness. Wonderful is it’s power to charm and command. It is a mountain air. It is the embalmer of the world. It is myrrh and storax, and chlorine and rosemary. It makes the sky and hills sublime, and the silent song of the stars is it... Thought may work cold and intransitive in things, and find no end or unity; but the dawn of the sentiment of virtue on the heart, gives and is the assurance that Law is sovereign over all natures; and the worlds, time, space, eternity, do seem to break out into joy... It is the beatitude of man. It makes him illimitable.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature and Selected Essays

V

Wake up with Shaggy & Big C

enus, that bright, sexy bitch. For damned-near 20 years I watched her play either Morning and Evening Star, sliding down the welkin while peeking through the serrated silhouette of old Norfolk pines in my parents’ yard. Last year, our beloved trees had to be cut down to save the family home’s foundation, but just for a moment...

“Man, I thought I was tripping!” I told Mom. I was gazing at Venus and thought I could still see the trees–but it was just a mirage, the reflection of the A-frame’s apex.

See, though Dad’s on the cusp of his 61st birthday–and just yesterday sprained his ankle (twice)–he still spent Sunday perched two stories high atop a ladder, squeegeeing the windows ‘til they shine like mirrors. (And also, among other unimaginable errands, decided to deftly scale 30 feet up into the backyard avocado tree’s canopy, wielding a blade and bombing a bucket’s worth of baby head-sized fruit into my waiting palms.)

That’s how most moments are spent at the Yagi home: with hardy housework. The usual vacuuming and scrubbing aside, there’s also coconuts to machete for milk and cobra, gandule beans to pick and boil, wood to chop and meat to smoke.

The work’s joyful and almost effortless, now that my brother Jayson and I are grown-ups; and now that we’re rarely all together. These days, I find it almost hard to remember my teen years when our nuclear family–and all our insular idiosyncracies–felt utterly smothering. Then, all I wanted to do was adventure away. Now, after leaving for what’s far and wide–and when working for The Man instead of Dad–coming home is a blissful albeit infrequent escape.

Indeed, there’s no place like home–and whenever I feel that adage with the weight and ache of Dorothy, I know it’s time to rally

race up Omaopio Road (‘cause the Haleakala Highway alternative is charmless) to visit my folks in Kula.

It’s been too long since my last visit, and the eager afternoon washed away all too quickly. But in the deepening dark (though Dad, of course, hasn’t stopped moving), Mom and I settled by the fireplace to look out the windows at the inky night. The smoke curling up the flume triggered my bad habit, so we soon found ourselves outside, shivering in the Kula cold while I insisted on dying a little faster and harder.

Clean as the windows are, they were still no match for the sky unobstructed. More than just to admire Venus, spring will be a great time to observe all but Uranus and Neptune with the naked eye. Next month, we have a Jupiter-Venus conjunction, but right now, if Venus is perennially queen, Mars is king.

“Martian opposition” means the Earth’s passing between the sun and our solar system’s fourth “ruddy world,” as described by EarthSky; the closest–and brightest–the planet will be in two years’ time. At around midnight, he’s been a luminescent coral orb high in the sky, and it’s a wonder I haven’t broken my neck trying to appreciate the depth of the dome overhead.

So as mom and I sit and talk story of the pleasures of home and heart–of both here at the house and here on Earth–I cannot help but look up and sporadically gasp, awed.

Oh! That there are upwards of 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way and 125-500 billion galaxies like it! And that, according to a study published last month in the weekly science journal Nature, scientists have concluded that “stars are orbited by planets as a rule, rather than the exception.” And to think that our precious little four billion-year-old planet is so far away from all this celestial stuff that to travel to the nearest Earth-like orb, as fast as currently humanly possible, it’d take 350,000 years.

And further, to think that we once thought the heavens themselves circled a flat, 6,000-year-old Earth. And further still, to wonder what the future–like an adult reflecting on her on punkish youth–might come think about our current truths.

The good news is every amazing thing discovered about the universe serves to solidify the wonderment of our terrestrial home; meanwhile reminding us of the hard work required to keep it. ■

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS

...to questions on page 4

1: E–Hawaii

BY CAERIEL CRESTIN In an ideal world, people would always get credit where it was due, receiving appropriate praise and compensation for their work. But when money, recognition, and personal advancement play a role, it’s all too tempting for some to step forward and claim responsibility for something they actually had little to no part of. Whether or not you call them out isn’t a clear-cut question, though—there are definitely negative repercussions, and they might or might now outweigh the benefits of claiming your due.

It might, sadly, turn out that it’s best just to let this one slide.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Time passes so very quickly. In the moment, sure, it may seem to drag on, but you’ve been amazed at how short these chapters seem, in retrospect. This one, too, will seem entirely too fleeting, once it’s passed, so instead of wishing it were over, already, or different, try to cherish it for what it is, good and bad, and trust that soon enough you’ll be looking back on these times and wishing they weren’t done. To ensure that there’s more fondness than regret associated with these memories, embrace what’s happening right now, as fully as you can. It’s easier than you think.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

While you’re arguably one of the most generous signs in the zodiac, you’re also occasionally one of the most selfish. When these urges come into conflict, things get messy, but hopefully you know by now that you’ll always feel better, in retrospect, if you make the generous choice—even if it involves a sacrifice or personal suffering. Choosing the selfish thing will never feel good, because it’ll always be tainted by the fact that it cost someone else something (even if they don’t know it). Give. You already get tons of lucky breaks. You can live without this one.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Losing something, be it a loved one, relationship, or even a cherished possession, isn’t something you can instantly get over. That’s not how humans are wired. You probably wish you could just let it go, and move on with your life, or fast-forward through the grieving process somehow, but unfortunately the only thing that does the trick is the passage of time. Since you can’t rush that, the only thing to do is wait it out. The next time you (or someone you know) suffers such a loss, remember: rushing through it isn’t the answer.

Practicing immense and generous patience is.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Once a gift is given, it’s gone. Unless obligations are negotiated and agreed upon ahead of time (making it more of a contract than a true gift), the giver relinquishes all rights to their offer, and any and all say about what happens to it. There are very few situations where asking for something back, or stipulating how or when something should be used, is okay. If such a request comes your way, consider it if you wish, but remember that you already fulfilled any and all obligations by gratefully accepting this present in the first place. You’re off the hook.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Lying to help someone else (playing a fake job reference, for example) is an example of when deceit occupies an unquestionably gray area. Because there are no hard and fast rules, trust your gut.

Mostly, it’ll probably feel good to help a friend by telling a white lie to a total stranger. Don’t hold to rigid lines of what you will and won’t say, but rather judge each instance on a case-by-case basis.

Recall that there are few (if any) moral absolutes, and that you are the ultimate arbiter of what is right (or wrong) for you. Of course, figuring that out before you agree to things is generally best.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You wouldn’t expect a kid who just learned to swim yesterday to suddenly be doing Olympic-level dives today. You can be proud of her for accomplishing steady doggy-paddle laps from pool-

edge to pool-edge. So why do you expect yourself to instantly be a master at anything new you try, even though you know, rationally, that most skills worth acquiring require time and tremendous amounts of practice to master? Give yourself that time, and be okay with being completely terrible at something for a while. Everyone else is. You’re your own worst critic—but you don’t really have to play that role. Since it’s not actually helping you at all, give it a rest for a while (or forever).

2: D–Legalize gambling.

3: B–“Currently, the value of adding more customer-sited renewable energy and using less oil is considered to outweigh this lost contribution to fixed cost.”

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Minding your own business is the key to keeping the peace this week. You’ll probably desperately want to intervene or help out someone who clearly “needs” it, but your interference (as it’ll be viewed) is unwelcome and more likely to cause drama than actually help matters. Butting out is hardly one of your fortes.

We all know you know best, which is what makes it so hard.

This time, bite your tongue and let people make their horrifying mistakes, and also pay the price for those mistakes. Could you have stopped it? Maybe. Would they have thanked you for it? No. Also, and most importantly, would they have learned anything if you had? Not in the slightest.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

When you meet someone, it’s their prerogative to not necessarily reveal everything about their pasts. Some of that stuff is simply none of your business. However, things that may, in a concrete way, affect you (like if someone you’re seriously dating has kids, or a life-threatening job/disease/hobby), should be disclosed while you still have a chance to opt out without hassle or guilt. If someone fails to do this, you can justifiably be upset. However, I hope you have enough compassion to cut them a little more slack than you might otherwise—if it’s a deal-breaker, it’s a deal-breaker, but don’t let your understandable initial reaction make a deal-breaker out of something that might, otherwise, be only a deal-changer.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Some emotional wounds leave permanent scars. But that doesn’t mean they’re truly unforgivable. If both parties are interested, finding ways to work around those scars and move on is definitely possible—albeit involving lots of work. The first question is—is that where everyone’s at? If so, finding a way through should be fairly simple—still time-consuming and difficult, of course, but the path itself is obvious. The real question is whether everyone is willing to walk that path its entire length. This week the answer to that question should be clearer than it has so far.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You have powerful personal ethics. You also maintain close and loyal ties to those you love—who may not be burdened with the same moral fortitude you possess. That’s when things get tricky, confusing, and messy. Being torn between your idea of “what’s right,” and your desire to help your friend isn’t a fun place for you Sagittarians. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way out. Sticking to your guns will piss off your friend. Weigh that against how upset you’ll be about bending one of your own rules (and how quickly you’ll get over it) and see which comes out on top. You’ll never feel totally good about this situation, but viewing it this way should at least help you feel a little better.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Just because someone else doesn’t agree that the boundaries you’ve drawn should be respected doesn’t mean they’re not worth enforcing. Get a second opinion. This guy may be way off base if he just shrugs and blows it off when someone crosses the line.

Of course, it’s hard when someone flat-out tells you you’re being silly or are just plain wrong. Seek some validation from someone reasonable who has no real reason to simply give it to you. If they agree with the other guy, accept that you may have chosen a stance that’s a tad unreasonable, and revise accordingly.
