COUNTY AUDITOR ISSUES $21 MILLION REPORT

defend our country, the Navy doesn’t need to train in every square inch of a swath of ocean larger than all 50 United States combined,” said Henkin in the Earthjustice news release. “The Navy can fulfill its mission and, at the same time, avoid the most severe harm to dolphins, whales and countless other marine animals by simply limiting training and testing in a small number of biologically sensitive areas.”

Mollway’s ruling wasn’t subtle, either, and stated that the Navy exercises violate the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA), Endangered Species Act and National Environmental Policy Act. Here’s her ruling on the MMPA: “No one is disputing the importance of military readiness, but recognition of that importance does not permit the parties or this court to ignore the MMPA,” the ruling stated.

“Although MMPA provisions have been adjusted with respect to military activities, those adjustments do not permit the Navy to skirt the MMPA purely to avoid having its training and testing activities interrupted.”

It’s not often you see the results of an audit splashed on the front page of The Maui News, but that’s exactly what happened on Friday, Apr. 3. “County audit: $21 million lost,” read the sensation headline. The words imply drastic negligence, perhaps even a crime. Too bad the report’s actual finding was far less explosive.

A better headline would have read, “County audit: $21 million opportunity lost.” Because that was the major takeaway of County Auditor Lance Taguchi’s first report: “Funds held by the Treasury were not sent to the Hawaii Employer Union Health Benefits Trust Fund (‘EUTF’) for nearly five years,” states the report, titled Examination of the Treasury Function of the Department of Finance and released on Apr. 2. “While those funds sat in the County’s Treasury earning less than one percent per year, the EUTF could have invested those funds on behalf of the County and earned over 10 percent per year. Although those funds were eventually sent at the end of June 2014, the delay resulted in the County losing out on over $21 million in interest earnings. Those earnings could have paid down some of the County’s $344 million unfunded liability for health benefits already earned by current and retired County employees.”

The county’s Finance Director is Danny Agsalog, who’s held the job since 2010 and was disciplined three years ago for pounding on his desk and swearing at one of his deputies, said in his Mar. 27 response to the audit that “One of the County’s longterm financial goals is to provide sound general management by balancing risk and reward.” For that reason, he said he was cautious about returning to the EUTF trust fund, which until 2014 the county considered too risky. “Unlike corporate and other for-profit entities, the County of Maui is not in the business of taking significant risks in order to generate millions of dollars in interest revenues as suggested by this audit finding,” Agsalog noted in his Mar. 27 letter.

The County Auditor also concluded that “Large portions of the Treasury’s investment portfolio were made up of securities which do not appear to be in compliance with State law and the County’s own Investment Policy,” the County’s investment portfolio was over-concentrated in the mortgage industry, a single staff accountant at the Finance Department was doing too much work and “The cash handling tasks for the processing of Sewer Exception Payments lacks adequate segregation of duties.”

In his response to these additional four findings, Agsalog disagreed with the first two–saying his office believes there’s nothing amiss with the County’s current investments– but concurred with the latter two findings.

along with vessel strikes, could result in thousands of animals suffering death, permanent hearing loss or lung injuries,” stated an April 1 news release on the ruling from Earthjustice, which legally challenged the Fisheries Service approval in December 2013 on behalf of the Conservation Council for Hawaii, Animal Welfare Institute, Center for Biological Diversity and Ocean Mammal Institute. “Millions of others could be left with temporary injuries and significant disruptions to feeding, breeding, communicating, resting and other essential behaviors. In all, the Navy’s plan would cause an estimated 9.6 million instances of harm to marine mammals.”

That’s a huge number. Nearly three years ago, when I wrote on the Navy’s proposed Pacific testing and training activities (“Good Stewards of the Environment,” June 28, 2012), the estimate of instances of harm was just around 2 million. Of that, the Navy estimated, the exercises would kill 200 mammals and inflict another 1,600 injuries each year.

HONOLULU JUDGE SMACKS DOWN US NAVY OVER TRAINING EXERCISES In a 66-page ruling handed down on April 1, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Oki Mollway in Honolulu ruled that the National Marine Fisheries Services should not have approved the U.S. Navy’s training activities in the Pacific Ocean a couple years ago because they harm too many marine mammals.

“The Navy and Fisheries Service had concluded that, over the plan’s five-year period, the Navy’s use of explosives and sonar,

Look out!

For its part, the Navy says it must conduct training exercises in the Pacific, especially using active sonar, to keep the nation safe.

This, Earthjustice attorney David Henkin says, doesn’t give the service the right to inflict biological damage wherever they see fit.

“The court’s ruling recognizes that, to

Overheard “What do I gotta do to get a woman around here?... I gotta put it in something.

I’m a man–I have needs.”

-Man talking to two women on the Ka’anapali beach path, April 2

Mollway was also downright sarcastic and even a little mean: The government actions that are challenged in this case permit the Navy to conduct training and testing exercises even if they end up harming a stunning number of marine mammals, some of which are endangered or threatened,” the ruling stated. “Searching the administrative record’s reams of pages for some explanation as to why the Navy’s activities were authorized by the National Marine Fisheries Service (‘NMFS’), this court feels like the sailor in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ who, trapped for days on a ship becalmed in the middle of the ocean, laments, “Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink.”

According to an April 1 Los Angeles Times story, a Navy spokesman said the service is still “studying the ruling and could not comment on its details.” ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

Suzanne Case

In a stunning turnaround from his failed attempt to appoint Castle & Cooke lobbyist Carleton Ching to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, Hawaii Governor David Ige has named Nature Conservancy of Hawaii Executive Director Suzanne Case to head the agency.

“Suzanne shares my vision of wise stewardship of Hawaii’s public and conservation lands and waters, for excellence in government to make the most of our limited resources, and for collaboration and inclusion in carrying out the many responsibilities of the DLNR and the State of Hawaii for the benefit of all,” said Ige in a statement released today.

Case (a sister of former U.S. Representative Ed Case) has worked for the Nature Conservancy for 28 years, the last dozen as its executive director. The organization protects about 200,000 acres of Hawaii–an impressive figure, though just a fraction of the 1.3 million acres that fall under the DLNR’s jurisdiction.

The Nature Conservancy also isn’t your average environmental organization. Instead of suing corporations, the Nature Conservancy “partners” with them. It’s views on land and species conservation also, shall we say, a lot friendlier to corporate influences.

“Conservation cannot promise a return to pristine, prehuman landscapes,” Peter Kareiva, The Nature Conservancy’s chief scientist, and Michelle Marvier and Robert Lalasz wrote in the 2012 article “Conservation in the Anthropocene.” “Humankind has already profoundly transformed the planet and will continue to do so… [C] onservationists will have to jettison their idealized notions of nature, parks and wilderness—ideas that have never been supported by good conservation science—and forge a more optimistic, human-friendly vision.”

Also on the first day of the event, Mayor Alan Arakawa’s office will proclaim the week of the conference “Hawaii STEM Education Week.” This proclamation is being made to encourage Maui County’s citizens to support STEM education efforts that empower our students and educators with STEM skills.

In addition to opportunities for students, there will be professional development sessions designed for teachers to motivate and increase STEM learning in the classroom.

“Events like this attest to the power of STEM,” said Isla Young, WIT Program Director. “Our hope is that by empowering our students–our future STEM stars–

recipe contest on Saturday, Apr. 4, according to an Apr. 6 MFTC news release.

Judging was based on taste, appearance, the commercial viability of the recipe and the best use of ingredients that were made and/or grown in Hawaii.

At stake was thousands of dollars in MFTC consultancy services such as assistance with creating a food nutritional label or getting their food item distributed to stores. Fifteen people entered, but only three took home prizes (consultancy prizes, sure, but prizes nonetheless).

First prize ($1,500 in consultancy) went to Lahaina resident Aimee Singer of the website Aimee’s Paradise, who is herself a digital marketing and web design consultant, for her Maui Ketchup recipe.

Second prize ($500 in consultations)

PHOTO COURTESY MAUI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD

GOV. IGE NAMES ANOTHER NEW DLNR HEAD

For a governor whose previous choice to head the state’s land resources management department was a development lobbyist, the Nature Conservancy is the best possible source in Hawaii for a friendly environmental face.

Still, the initial reaction to Case’s appointment from within the state’s environmental community seems to be positive. At a press conference before Ige’s Jan. 26 State of the State Address, Conservation Council of Hawaii Executive Director Marjorie Ziegler derided Ching for his “demonstrated lack of expertise and interest even in any of the programs that come under the purview of the DLNR.” But when asked about Case, Ziegler was far more positive.

“I’m definitely heartened by it,” Ziegler told me. “She’s very different than Carleton Ching. She has much stronger administrative skills–the Nature Conservancy is a huge organization, and managing land is a very complicated business. I’m also encouraged, and it’s really nice to see the governor make good on his campaign promise to appoint more women because commissions and boards don’t always look like the communities they reflect.”

HAWAII STEM CONFERENCE COMING SOON This year’s annual Hawaii STEM Conference takes place April 17-18 at the Wailea Marriott Resort. The event is sponsored by Maui Economic Development Board’s Women in Technology project in partnership with the County of Maui.

The event seeks to help students and educators statewide with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills and the opportunity to network with innovative technology experts. During the conference, participants will get up-close exposure to advanced technologies, the latest software training and real world challenges in the form of fun, hands-on team competitions.

Since it began in 2009, the Hawaii STEM Conference has grown in stature and popularity, annually attracting prominent national partners and sponsorship from top tech companies like Google, the National Geographic Society, Apple for Education, SketchUp, Chevron and ESRI. This year, the conference welcomes Microsoft and NASA for the first time.

The two-day event will feature student sessions offered by education teams and industry experts from a variety of companies, educational institutions and organizations. Kicking off the event on Friday will be a timed, high-energy mixer called the 5 x 5 Sessions; the mixer will give students the opportunity to engage five different STEM industry professionals every five

and educators with STEM abilities they can apply these skills to service-learning projects that can impact our community, if not the world.”

Keynote speakers for the 2015 conference include Titan Gilroy of Titan Manufacturing; Erika Bergman, co-founder of GEECs (Girls Engineering and Exploration Counselors) and National Geographic Explorer and Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard’s Lauren Thompson.

HAWAII FOOD PRODUCTS RECIPE CONTEST RESULTS The Maui Food Technology Center (MFTC), a nonprofit organization that’s dedicated to nurturing the county’s food students, chefs and farmers, held its fourth annual Hawaii food products

went to Michelle Jones and Katherine Crosby of Two Chicks in a Hammock with their Hawaiian Chili Pepper Salt recipe. And John Drager of Pukalani won third place ($250 in consultations) with his Hawaiian Pumpkin Soup.

“We were very impressed with this year’s entries and their creative use of locally made and/or grown products,” said MFTC President Luana Mahi in the Apr. 6 news release. “We look forward to working with the winners in helping them bring their products to store shelves for consumers to enjoy.”

Judging the contest were retired chef Kuulei Teshima, state Department of Agriculture official Sharon Hurd, Island Trays owner Paul Gober and Maui Economic Development Board President and CEO Jeanne Skog.

News Of The Weird WAIT, WHAT? An unarmed man, suspected of no crime, who three years ago was shot 16 times by police while lying in his bed, told a Seattle Times reporter in March that he bears no ill will for the cops who shot him. Said Dustin Theoharis, now 32, “Sometimes [police] make mistakes.” Theoharis was napping in a friend’s house in Puyallup, Washington, when police arrived to arrest the friend’s son, and when Theoharis reached for his ID, one officer imagined a gun, and the two officers opened fire, hitting Theoharis in the jaw, both upper arms, both lower arms, wrist, hand, shoulder, abdomen and both legs. He spent months in a hospital and skilled nursing facility and today is largely immobile and unable to work. He “won” legal settlements totaling $5.5 million, but one-third went to lawyers, and much of the rest has paid medical bills.

According to the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, it appears that some of the 2016 Summer Olympics aquatic events will take place among floating household trash and raw sewage in Guanabara Bay (although Mayor Eduardo Paes noted to the Associated Press in March that the events are scheduled for the “cleanest part” of the bay). To acquire the games, organizers had promised a massive cleanup, but now, with 500 days to go, Paes conceded that the goals will not be met and that, indeed, infrastructure improvements still have not halted the sewage flow into the bay.

RENEWABLE ENERGY Despite the skepticism of a few tech writers, the Internet pornography super-site Pornhub insists that it is developing a wristband that stores energy (enough to power a cellphone) that can be generated by the “up and down” motion of masturbation. Pornhub announced in February that it will soon begin recruiting human testers for its Wankband.

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS According to the 17-year-old bicyclist who was broadsided by a motorist at rush hour in Sheffield, England, on March 6, a woman at first alighted from the car to help. However, upon seeing the extent of the cyclist’s injuries, she apologized and walked away, telling the sprawled-out victim that her children were in the car and would be “scared” to see all that blood– and so she would drive them on to school. Witnesses provided a description of the vehicle, but the hit-and-run driver was still at large.

Trying to stake out a position on the Paris murders of the staff of Charlie Hebdo magazine, in January, Pope Francis told an audience during his Philippines tour that freedom of speech is important, but that there are limits. “If my good friend Dr. [Alberto] Gasbarri [who organized the pope’s visit and was standing at his side] says a curse word against my mother,”

Francis said, “he can expect a punch.” He then threw a mock punch toward Gasbarri. The Vatican press office was later moved to clarify that violence in God’s name can never be justified.

SUPER-PROTECTIVE PARENTING Standardized placement exams are typically far more determinative of student success in Asian countries than the United States, and in March in some testing centers in India’s Bihar state, “traditional” rampant cheating became grotesque. Dozens of parents were seen climbing outside walls of one center (to pass answers and notes to the students), reminiscent of movie depictions of Santa Anna’s army scaling the walls of the Alamo. The week-long secondary school exams, testing 1.4 million students, had early-on seen 400-plus students expelled, nine bags of cheat sheets confiscated, and at least seven parents arrested. But officials admitted that their security forces were overmatched by parents desperate to assist their children.

AWESOME! Chicago’s WGN-TV was forced to apologize in March for a misjudgment in booking its Morning Show after an unconventional “circus” performer, in a live-television publicity segment, took a power saw to a metal box affixed to her crotch. “Dancer” Shana Vaughan-Gabor, of the Cirque De La Femme, created a dazzling shower of sparks, provoking the male host to first demand that the camera cut away, but then admitting, “I’ve been waiting my whole life to meet a woman like this.” In the follow-up segment, a group of children who had witnessed the scene used descriptions like “creepy” and “stinky,” but Vaughan-Gabor later urged the station to “save the children from ‘boring’ [entertainment].”

OUR LITIGIOUS SOCIETY In March, the Administrative Office of the Courts revealed a slight increase in federal litigation in 2014, but a much larger increase in prisoner lawsuits. Leading the upturn was Dale Maisano, 63, serving 15 years for aggravated assault, who last year alone filed 3,613 cases concerning his Florence, Arizona, facility. Counting previous prison stints, Maisano has filed 6,076 complaints against various officials and prison system health-care providers. (In a 2014 USA Today report, Maisano volunteered that he himself “could use some mental health help.”)

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT In March, the investment bank Credit Suisse Group AG agreed to pay $16.25 million to settle a client’s charges that Credit Suisse gave faulty investment advice on two acquisitions by Freeport-McMoRan (one of the world’s largest producers of copper and gold). Actually, according to a Wall Street Journal report, Freeport will receive only $10 million in cash. The remaining amount it agreed to accept, to make up for Credit Suisse’s faulty advice, is $6.25 million worth of future investment advice. ■

Lot’s happening for Laurelee Blanchard and the Leilani Farm Sanctuary

W

hat do you get if you cross a blind pig with Godiva Belgian chocolate? Given the story you’re about to read, chocolatecovered bacon is definitely not the punchline. In fact, chocolate covered bacon– though oddly popular–goes against the core beliefs of Laurelee Blanchard, founder of Leilani Farm Sanctuary, an Upcountry paradise for rescued animals.

What the pig, George and the chocolate company have in common is that they both recently brought national attention to Blanchard and her animal sanctuary.

LFS sits on nearly eight acres of property atop a hillside in Haiku. The rolling green pastures, fruit trees and jungle environment provide refuge for nearly 200 animals including pigs, rabbits, chickens, geese, deer, goats and donkeys.

Blanchard’s primary mission for starting the sanctuary was to awaken compassion and to educate people about the positive effects of eating a plant-based diet–and for all sentient beings to live in harmony.

“Animal rescue is also our mission but I think even more importantly is humane education because that affects the biggest

change,” Blanchard said. “If we can change people’s hearts and minds then we’re helping many more animals in the long run.”

Blanchard alluded the famous line from The Wizard of Oz–pay no attention to that man behind the curtain–when I asked what motivated her to create a sanctuary that provides shelter for abused farm animals and educates the community about their humane treatment.

“I had seen undercover footage of factory farms and animals in slaughterhouses,” Blanchard said. “Once I looked behind that curtain, I could never forget what I had seen. That was when I decided to make a huge life change and to leave behind my lucrative career, take my life savings and buy a farm where I would build a sanctuary.”

Before moving to Maui, Blanchard was senior vice president at a commercial real estate firm in Orange County, California.

She had never been on a farm–had never seen farm animals. “I was working in a corporate world where my days were spent in office buildings,” Blanchard said.

In the evenings, Blanchard would walk around Dana Point Harbor, where she

noticed a sizeable number of abandoned felines. “I would come across cats who had been dumped,” said Blanchard. “I started rescuing these cats, getting them spayed and neutered and adopted into new homes.”

Through the course of rescuing cats, Blanchard came in contact with animal protection organizations. They taught her about the treatment of farm animals raised for food. When she saw how the animals suffered and became aware of health and environmental benefits of choosing plantbased foods, she decided to make a major difference through her personal habits and professional work.

Blanchard transitioned to a plant-based diet, cashed out her life savings, moved to Maui and bought a piece of property where she could create a sanctuary for farm animals.

Walking onto the property for a Wednesday afternoon tour, I spotted two donkeys and a deer grazing in a pasture. While I wait for the tour to start, I was joined by a family from California. Surprised to see tourists, I asked the father how he learned about LFS. “There is a guest book in the condo where we are staying,” he told me. “Every

mention of the sanctuary said it was the highlight of their trip. Our kids love animals so we thought we’d come take a tour.”

As we sat among friendly roosters, I noticed more people walking up the gravel path. By the time the tour began, nearly 20 people had gathered–just three of us were Maui residents. “Most people, when they think about Maui, they think about sandy beaches and palm trees and boat cruises and snorkeling,” Blanchard had told me earlier when we were discussing the fact that LFS has become a tourist attraction.

“They don’t think about farms with goats and pigs and chicken.”

As the tour was about to begin, Blanchard picked up Rufus, a rooster, and pet it lovingly, the way most people would do to a cat. Blanchard’s appearance was a mix between boho-casual and Upcountry farm woman. Her shoulder-length brown hair has a natural wave–the beachy kind that trendsetters pay top stylists to help them achieve. She was wearing plain khaki-colored shorts and a floral printed top.

Her clothes may not say farm-worker, but her knee-high, mud-covered rubber boots certainly did. She continued to pet Rufus as

one I know is more inspiring than Laurelee,” Hofmann said. “She has dedicated her life and fortune to her vision and mission of modeling compassion toward animals, humans and the environment.”

Godiva’s Roperti-Piscina echoed those sentiments after touring the sanctuary.

“Hearing all of the individual stories of each of the animals was so inspiring,” she said. “[It] gave a true tangibility to the work that Laurelee and all of her volunteers do each day. Seeing how much the animals are thriving, and how much they love Laurelee, is a testament to the power of one individual to really make a difference.”

Leilani Farm Sanctuary garnered additional national attention recently when it was featured on a new National Geographic television show, Aloha Vet. The reality show documents the work of Kauai resident Dr. Scott Sims, a vet who pilots his own airplane across the state to treat large and exotic animals.

When National Geographic contacted Blanchard to ask if any of the animals at LFS needed medical treatment, Blanchard thought about George, a blind pig who came to the sanctuary about five years ago. Before coming to the sanctuary, George’s diet consisted of massive amounts of restaurant garbage.

“He got so fat from eating food like desserts and pastas that the rolls of fat covered his eyes,” Blanchard said. When George came to the sanctuary, Blanchard put him on a weight loss diet to help him regain his health. When a local vet tried to open George’s eyelids to examine his eyes, all he saw were eyelashes. Despite the weight loss, the vet determined George would never see.

Blanchard asked National Geographic if it was possible for Sims to do an eyelid lift on George. “It’s the same procedure they do for humans with saggy eyelids,” Blanchard said.

When Sims came to Maui and examined

she shared the story of why she started the sanctuary.

“I wanted to give others the opportunity to meet farm animals–species of animals most people don’t get the chance to meet,” she said. Blanchard wanted to create an environment where people could connect and interact with animals, hoping they would see them as individuals with personalities rather than food.

All of the animals living at the sanctuary have names and Blanchard shared each one’s unique story. Veronica the deer was orphaned when hunters shot her mother.

Rabbits Susan and Roger had been given to children as gifts but were later discarded when they became too inconvenient to care for. Billy and Blaine are two roosters who were liberated from cockfighting compounds. As we toured the property, Blanchard introduced us to her goats by sitting on the ground and calling one onto her lap as you would a pet dog.

Joining the tour was a young woman who had traveled from New York City to see the sanctuary–Godiva chocolate company’s Associate Brand Communications Manager Christina Roperti-Piscina. The New York native was on Maui to present Blanchard with the Lady Godiva Program award, which celebrates women who inspire change in their communities.

Godiva Chocolatier launched the Lady Godiva Program in 2011 to celebrate inspirational women who embody the attributes of Lady Godiva through selflessness, generosity, leadership and the spirit of giving back to the community. With the award, came a $10,000 grant.

Blanchard was one of 1,400 women nominated for the Godiva honor. Vice president of LFS board and director of programs Melody Hofmann said she nominated Blanchard because she fit the attributes perfectly. “No

Good goats!

George, he too was uncertain the pig would ever see. In fact, it was possible George’s eyes had atrophied from the extended pressure of his bulbous eyelids.

But Sims decided to go forward with the operation. Nat Geo sent out a film crew, and Sims flew in from Kauai and performed the surgery. Sims told Blanchard they would have to wait for the inflammation to subside before he could determine if the surgery was successful.

A couple of weeks later, George was up and walking around. Blanchard’s eyes sparkled when she told the story of putting a shiny food bowl down in front of George and getting what seemed to be a visual reaction. But George’s eyes were filled with glutinous material; Blanchard was not 100 percent certain his vision had been restored.

So Nat Geo brought the film crew back to document Sims’ follow-up exam. Sims determined that George would have his vision back once he was fully healed. Meeting George on the tour was a highlight of the day. I literally wanted to hug the pig–a pig who was no longer blind.

George was being a little shy; so instead of giving him that hug, I petted Berney, who came to the sanctuary as a wild boar, but has turned into one of the nicest and gentlest animals on the farm, according to Blanchard. “He has a heart of gold,” she said about the huge animal. Roperti-Piscina also held Vern the goose while others fed bunnies and met goats.

Near the end of our time at the sanctuary, I kissed a donkey named Lehua on the muzzle.

Aloha Vet premiered March 21 and featured a segment shot at LFS during which Sims spayed the young deer Veronica, who had become a little too aggressive toward visitors and other animals. In addition to performing surgeries on George and Veronica, Sims treated a goat and a donkey and spayed some kittens. The show airs weekly and George was expected to make his screen debut on the March 28 episode.

The Lady Godiva Program award, George’s appearance on Aloha Vet and growing traditional and social media coverage have helped increase the number of visitors and amount of donations to the non-profit sanctuary. LFS co-founder Barry Sultanoff said during the past 12 months the sanctuary seems to be hitting its stride.

“We’re not really working hard to be seen,” Sultanoff said. “What we’re working harder at is just being pono–doing the best we can to put our time and energy toward the mission that we believe in.”

“I think what’s happening here is that we are both deeply in the mission of having people meet animals and understand who animals really are when they are treated lovingly and in their ideal environment,” he said. “We’re really walking our talk as best we can. I’m a psychiatrist and I don’t really focus on psychiatry much any more. I’m more focused on how, at this time in my life, I can really make an impact on the world. I just turned 70–I’m not a young guy–I have to look at what kind of legacy do I really want to leave.”

Sultanoff also credits Blanchard’s photography for the increased public awareness of LFS. Blanchard spends a lot of time taking photographs of the animals and their interactions with visitors—and the photos get shared via social media. Sultanoff said people are moved when they see those animal encounters–some quite unusual. “I really compliment Laurelee,” he said.

But she doesn’t take photos solely to promote the sanctuary–that’s a natural bonus, he added. “She takes them because she can’t help herself,” he said. “She loves these animals; in fact every afternoon she’s out there photographing them because it’s her impulse–from the inside–to do this.”

Sultanoff said when people visit LFS they get a direct sense of how different life–especially life with animals–can be. “I think the visibility has really happened one visitor at a time,” he said.

Leilani Farm Sanctuary hosts guided tours Wednesdays at 4pm and Saturdays at 10am; a $20 per person, tax-deductible donation is suggested. Children and kama‘aina are half-price. Reservations are required. The sanctuary also hosts at-risk youth programs, school field trips, special needs children and elder activities.

Those who would like to volunteer can join Blanchard on Monday and Wednesday mornings at 9am to lend a hand with a variety of jobs ranging from cleaning barns and gardening to grooming and office work. LFS also offers sponsorships where you can adopt a rescued animal for a monthly fee. Sponsors receive an adoption certificate with a photo of the animal and a card describing its story.

Film

by Barry Wurst II

'Furious 7' This should be the end of the franchise’s road ★★★★★ Rated R / 100 Min.

A

t last, we finally get to see how the filmmakers of Furious 7 completed their film. As most everyone knows, this is the sequel that suffered the death of its star, the charming Paul Walker. Rather than shut the production down, or rework the film to have Walker’s character killed off or (perhaps as offensive an idea) employ another actor to replace him, the filmmakers chose to rework the story while Walker’s unfinished scenes were filled in through special effects and stand-ins. The film, overall, is an unabashedly emotional tribute to the actor.

I wish I could tell you this was the best Fast sequel, but actually, this kinetic self-parody peaks an hour in.Yet, it’s so exciting that I almost didn’t notice how this vehicle eventually winds up running on fumes.

Walker is back as cop-turned-criminal Brian O’Connor, the partner of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and one of the ensemble of street racers who now operate like a lead-footed Danny Ocean crew. The sudden appearance of a vengeance-minded killer (Jason Statham) causes Toretto’s gang to be on their guard. O’Connor is, yet again, urged

by his wife (Jordana Brewster) to give the fast life a break. Then there’s Letty, embodied

by Michelle Rodriguez who, unfortunately, has to keep playing the clumsy amnesia subplot carried over from the last movie. While Dwayne Johnson’s character, the wily Hobbs (a highlight of Fast Five, the best in the series) mostly sits this one out, we get Kurt Russell as a mysterious new character. He gives this movie as much fuel-injected juice as Johnson did his first time out.

Of course, the dialogue is full of truly dumb, “tough guy” banter. By the third act, this all becomes too busy, crowded and over-plotted.

Statham gives a one-note role to a thin character but, truth be told, he’s a great villain (something he proved in Cellular as well as here). Russell is fun to watch, seemingly playing an older, highly promoted take on his Tequila Sunrise character. As much as I like Djimon Hounsou, we don’t need him as a needless, additional villain, especially when Statham already provides such a potent threat. Ronda Rousey’s one scene cameo is strictly for (literal) kicks but her Expendables 3 role was a better showcase and performance. Nathalie Emmanuel, playing a computer hacker, is another series newbie who gets a good introduction but seems on hand

If anyone could use help saving money on their car insurance, it's these guys

mostly for her leering bikini scene.

This is fun most of the way, from the visually spot-on introduction of Statham’s character to the gloriously absurd free-fall scene.

I’m a big fan of the 1994 B-movie Terminal Velocity, in which skydiver Charlie Sheen attempts to save a damsel who’s locked in the trunk of a car, which has been dropped out of a plane in mid-air. Here, with not one but nearly a dozen cars flying through the air, I couldn’t suppress my huge grin.

Later, we get what I’ll refer to as the “cars don’t fly” scene, which is so sensational that it presents a problem. You wait for the movie to top its Abu Dhabi portion and it simply can’t. By the third act, this all becomes just too busy.

I miss Paul Walker and like how the film sets out to pay the most loving tribute imaginable. That said, the effort to honor his last performance, complete filming and give

his character a warm send-off is earnest but not entirely successful. There are a few moments where it looks like they created a CGI version of him, which is as ambitious but as clunky as the CGI Arnold Schwarzenegger in the last Terminator movie.

The closing moments are, again, well intentioned but not entirely fitting. Diesel’s ongoing commentary about the importance of family is only half-true: remember, for the first four movies, Toretto was trying to kill O’Connor!

The closing remarks made about O’Connor are obviously about Walker and not the role.

It’s kind of touching but somewhat out of place, in a series where the emphasis has always been vehicular mayhem, destruction, close up shots of female booties and criminals getting away with unlawful behavior.

There’s an awkward set up for another sequel.

Unless they can top this movie’s best scene, this really should be the end of the road. ■

Horoscope

Sign Language ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

You crave greatness, accomplishment, and recognition. In some ways, you were born into a more challenging era than any before. You wish there was new territory to explore, but at this point in the world’s history, there’s almost no place on land that someone hasn’t beaten you to. It’s daunting, my dear Rams, I know. You may have to give up some of your dreams of world renown, international recognition, and adoring public appreciation, but I hope you won’t. Instead, accept that they’ll probably never happen (at least not in the ways you think), but never stop trying anyway.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

I received my favorite reader email ever, from an irate Libra who reproached me for setting the bar too high for your tribe. “I don’t own a pair of pink gloves,” she wrote. “I’m not a good lay, not particularly attractive, and not at all repentive [sic] for having a bad day.” She claimed that having to live up to my version of a Libra was an awful burden. Maybe it is. Maybe it’s easier to just give up, admit you’re ugly, imperfect, and lousy in bed. But I hope you won’t. You are, my dear, exactly what you make yourself. So aspire to be fair-minded, generous, diplomatic, and unjustly beautiful. If you fall short of those ideals, so what?

QUIZ understood

ANSWERS

...to questions from page 4

1: C–Distracted driving 2: D–Hyatt Regency Maui 3: E–All of the abve

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder than presence ever could. Your romanticized memories are taking center stage this week. However, if you actually were experiencing the person or situation you’re thinking of so fondly, you’d be just as annoyed now as you were then, and then some. So wallow in the sweetness of nostalgia, but do nothing—no matter the temptation—to try to resurrect your past into your present, lest you repeat the same mistakes you’ve already suffered through.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

When you were a kid, you got your little fingers into everything. You were the child who smeared the computer keyboard with peanut butter, burnt her thumb on the stove, and picked your friends’ boogers. Now, as an adult, you’re the same way (if a little less gross). You just can’t keep from involving yourself in whatever situations you’re privy to, often to self-detrimental effect. (One Gemini I know smashed a car window to protect his neighborhood from the tyrannical oppression of an overzealous and relentless car alarm). Go ahead and stick your fingers into whatever circumstance you feel you need to this week, but be prepared—you may have to pay for it later (my friend replaced the car window).

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

No still means no. But the other signals you’re getting this week are phenomenally mixed. It would take an encryption expert to decode what’s really expected of you. People around you know what they don’t want, that’s for sure. But they’re not quite clear on what they do want. You might actually know better than they do what they need, even if they’re not ready to accept or admit it, yet. Should you deliver it anyway, despite their doubts? I guess that depends: how much of a god complex do you have? You’ve got the power, but not necessarily the right. Consider waiting (no matter how frustrating) until they’ve figured it out for themselves before you give it to them.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You’re unpushable. Anyone who’s tried has learned that all you need to do is stubbornly sink your long claws into the turf and you’re immovable. What’s more, they’re likely to get a painful bite (or at least a pants-shitting roar) for their trouble. However, a wily few have learned that you must decide to act on your own, rather than be coerced. They’ve mastered the sly art of seduction, to trick or entice you into action, sometimes without you even noticing they’ve done it. Beware of these scoundrels and vixens, because they may just tempt you into some shitty self-destruction. Devouring them once they’re found out will be scant consolation, because by then the damage will have already been done.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

It’s like you’re shopping on Easter Sunday. In other words, your timing is so way off; most of the stores are closed. It’s just the wrong time to do what you want (and need) to be doing. Quit wasting your time, already.

Get with what’s actually happening, instead of clinging to some idea of what you want to be happening.

If it was Easter, you might go hunt Easter eggs, make Jesus jokes, or attend church for once. So do what’s appropriate for now, regardless of your long-term goals.

When the time comes to act on those, it’ll be obvious.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

You’re plunging towards the ground at maximum velocity from twenty-thousand feet up. It’s terrifying. You’ve already pulled both ripcords, with no result. Shit. You’re screwed, right? Maybe, but please don’t give up hope.

If these are your last moments before your emotional core shatters against the frozen ground like a sheet of glass, make them good ones. Spread your arms, catch some air, and soar. Turn terror to exhilaration. Fill your last seventeen seconds with grace, joy, even fun. Then it won’t be such a crazy shock when, eleven seconds after you’d totally given up, your parachute bursts open into a rainbow of lifesaving color.

tattoos by Rachel G

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Sometimes you feel so bloody powerful you could lift both fists above your head and roar into the sky like a jet-powered deity. Other times you struggle just to get out of bed, or put one foot in front of the other.

If you were a Pisces, you might settle, ultimately, for swinging between extremes like these. But since you’re a much more ambitious Sagittarian, you’ll be relieved, when this week, you find the key to a more balanced existence, in which you may not be able to fly but at least you can always, always run.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

The pharmaceutical industry makes a fortune by giving consumers a straight-up price quote for happiness (or at least less unhappiness), sex, or extended youth. These are expensive illusions that people are willing to shell out millions for. I hope you’re not one of them. It’s true; ruled by the strictest astrological taskmaster, Saturn, you’ve got to work harder for your happiness than most (but once you get, it’s more stable and long-lasting). But you’ve never lacked for horniness, and your sign has the notable quality of being able to age backwards. So screw paying for these things in pill form, okay? You deserve (and have full access to) a much better way.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Money can be an illness. Avoid infection by not worrying about it. “I don’t have that luxury,” you may sputter, indignantly. Yes, you do. Listen, the number of people around who think they have enough money could be tallied on your fingers and toes. Regardless, your anxiety’s not going to make what you have more valuable, or bring in more dough. You may not have a choice about what you have to do to make ends meet. But you can stop freaking out while you do it. That is your choice. The struggle ceases as soon as you let it.

You’ll be fine. (If you can believe that, you will be.)

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Avoid those who crave predictability. You’re such a chameleon that you’ll inevitably, just by being, disappoint them. Look for characters who adore changeability, dynamism, rollicking adventure. Those are the ones who are going to get off on you (and with you).

However, once you’ve found those folk, you may need to curb your enthusiasms (only ever-so-slightly) in order to keep them around, because you, ironically, crave stability and consistency. Don’t worry, it won’t take much: Just declare that one thing about you won’t change: swear you’ll love them forever and ever (and mean it). They’ll return the favor.
