She also opened a Christmas pop-up shop last week that brought in several new designers. Follow her Sea Shore Couture Facebook page for her latest updates.

When Lisa Newman decided to open her own shop after creating jewelry for the last 10 or so years, she originally thought that it would be an appointment-only showroom. But as she created what’s known as Sea Shore Couture at 505 Front Street in Lahaina, it quickly morphed into an emporium for jewelry and handmade Maui goods as she realized she wanted to include the creativity of her fellow artists.

“The original idea for this space has evolved already,” says Newman. “We looked at this space and I never thought it would look like this. It’s amazing what some paint and wood can do. It’s so pretty–the original idea was a place for people to come in to see my jewelry, oils and crystals. In my garage that was already happening. I didn’t think it would be a retail store like this.”

But when she mentioned to other artists and friends that she was open-

ing a shop, the outpouring of support and assistance–as well as requests from other artists who wanted a place to also sell their hand-crafted goods–came out of the woodwork. So she decided to expand her idea.

“I did always love making jewelry, as a kid,” says Newman. “We were always very crafty. I have been seriously making jewelry and making a business out of it for the last five years in my garage.”

The immaculate shop is on the second floor of the 505 Front Street complex right behind the Whaler’s General Store. The tiny space is chock full of different ornaments, gifts, crystals and many different kinds of jewelry. You will also find essential oils, diffusers and lamps. She has a little workshop in the back where she can make some of her designs as well.

“My style of jewelry incorporates sterling silver and gold fill, and [I do] custom orders for solid gold,” says Newman. “I’m very drawn to fancy beautiful looks with an edge. I like pave thrown onto some-

thing raw. A chunky organic looking chain with a Tahitian pearl; earthy hippy and fancy elements. I love incorporating crystals, pearls and ancient geometry.”

As she began to visualize and put together her shop, she found that many of her friends and fellow artists had items she could include. Newman said that she was happy to add it all to her inventory, and has found a unique balance of all Maui creations in all different kinds of styles and price points that you won’t find anywhere else on the island.

“I’m the only one who makes my jewelry,” she says. “I do not have anyone that assists me. I find a lot of bling to combine with the earthy elements. I’m going to be apprenticing with Bruce Tapley.

He has been a jeweler in Maui for many years. He makes fine jewelry, wax casting.

Sea Shore Couture has so much growing to do. I’m going to learn all those techniques. I know this is going to be an evolving project. But at the same time, I’m going to stay true to my style.”

Newman plans to host events for fash-

ARE WE SAFE? As if 2015 weren’t bad enough for the Department of Homeland Security (e.g., in June, internal DHS tests revealed that its Transportation Security Administration failed to stop 67 of 70 guns passing through airport screeners), a U.S. congressman revealed in December that, based on a congressional staff investigation, 72 DHS employees currently appear on the FBI’s terrorist watch list. He admitted to Boston Public Radio that DHS’s record makes him squeamish about our ability to vet Syrian refugees. (Being on the FBI list is not a prohibited category for buying guns, either, and in fact, the Government Accountability Office reported that 91 percent of listees’ attempts to purchase guns in the last 10 years succeeded.)

The vice president of human resources at the Washington Post issued a formal memo in December to reassure female employees in its sleek new office building that people in the seventh floor’s central “hub” could definitely not see up their skirts as they walked on the indoor eighth-floor balcony overhang, even through the clear glass barriers. The memo cited HR’s “multiple” futile attempts, from many viewing angles, to see no-no’s, and thus concluded that the ladies are safe. Nonetheless, the memo encouraged all employees, when in the seventh floor “hub,” not to look up.

Dr. Raymond Schinazi was a federal government employee when he led the team that discovered sofosbuvir, which completely cures hepatitis C patients with an 84-pill regimen, but, as he recently told CBS News, he only worked for the government “7/8th’s” of the time–and, conveniently, it was during the other 1/8th that he found sofosbuvir. He admits now that he made $400 million selling his sofosbuvir company in 2012 to Gilead Sciences, which famously set sofosbuvir’s price for 84 pills to $84,000. Now, the Department of Veterans Affairs, with 233,000 war vets with hep-C, tells Congress that it needs much more money, even though Gilead has “cut” the VA’s price in half (to $42,000 per treatment, or $9.66 billion). (In a 2013 medical journal, Dr. Schinazi revealed that sofosbuvir could be manufactured for about $17 a pill, or $1,400 for an entire treatment.)

THE BIGGER SHORT Famously, of course, no central characters from big banks went to jail for crashing the economy and causing thousands to lose their homes and jobs, but the U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission seem rather proud that at least they pressured several banks to pay the government billions of dollars in civil-case settlements. However, the activist group U.S. PIRG revealed in December that of the

10 largest such federal settlements, where banks and corporations paid a total of $80 billion, more than half was characterized as tax-deductible. (In addition, of course, all of the $80 billion was ultimately paid by the banks’ and corporations’ stockholders rather than by wrongdoing employees.)

NOT PART OF THE ACT It was Nick Silvestri, 19, of Seaford, Long Island, who, seated in the orchestra section of the Broadway comedy Hand to God on July 2, left his seat to plug his iPhone into an “electrical outlet” on the stage set. Actors, patrons, and management went nuts, but Silvestri ultimately was allowed to stay, and the show resumed. The set designer Beowulf Boritt said later he was proud that he had created a stage set so realistic that the electrical outlet (which of course was attached to nothing) looked so authentic.

CLICHE COME TO LIFE The Angelina County Sheriff’s Office (Lufkin, Texas) reported responding to a 911 call about shots fired at a home on Nov. 8, but made no arrest. The male resident was sitting in his pickup, admittedly drunk, and having listened to a “sad song” on his favorite station, he of course pulled his .22-caliber pistol and shot the radio. According to the report, “Suspect’s wife took possession of the handgun and suspect.”

SWEET IRONIES As deputy leader of Scotland’s South Lanarkshire Council, Jackie Burns was instrumental in the budgetary closing of all 24 public toilets in the area. In November, Burns was fined (the equivalent of about $60) after he, out on the town, could hold it in no longer and urinated in the street. And Hector Segura, 29, in town for a Washington, D.C., conference on drug policy reform (with most attendees certain that the “war on drugs” has failed) was found by police naked in a flower bed in a neighborhood near his hotel in Arlington, Virginia, with (according to police) “bath salts” the culprit. It required two Taser shots to subdue him as he pounded on a squad car.

BRIGHT IDEAS China’s love of beef, plus a regulation requiring that live animals imported for food be slaughtered within 55 miles of entry port, has created big business for the Australian cattle exporter Elders, which uses double-deck Boeing 747s whose only main-deck passengers “moo” instead of complain about leg room.

(Business-class humans still travel upstairs.) Without the flights, the 55-mile rule could be met only by coastal Chinese cities, thus ignoring inland gourmets demanding fresh meat. Unlike the wellfed upper-deck passengers, the cattle get minimal food–for obvious reasons. ■

REVIEW

By Anthony Pignataro

ell, another year’s in the books. On the whole, 2015 wasn’t any more disastrous or violent than any other recent year, I suppose (we did get a new Star Wars film out of it), though at times it certainly seemed otherwise. Murder rates have risen in many large American cities, and a series of horrific mass shootings put everyone on edge. The great movie actors Maureen O’Hara, Christopher Lee and Omar Shariff died this year, as did a few stars from television: Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy, Batmobile creator George Barris, Batgirl Yvonne Craig and Jack Larson, who played Superman’s Jimmy Olsen. MauiTime itself lost a few of its dear friends as well, including the artist Piero Resta, cartoonist Guy Junker and former Art Director Travis Tiffin.

As we do most every year, here are the highlights of 2015. It was quite a ride, but given next year’s election, might just seem quiet by comparison.

DECEMBER 31, 2015

PHOTO COURTESY COUNTY OF MAUI

The year began with us wondering if parking meters were coming to Wailuku Town in 2015. It seemed unlikely, even impossible, but the first month of 2015 saw more than a few big news items… Mike White took over as chairperson of the County Council. That’s right, kids: Mayor Alan Arakawa’s staunchest foe is now setting the Council’s agenda. Fight!

Fight!... Uh oh, this isn’t good: Rep. Mele Carroll, who just a few months earlier won reelection to her House seat representing East Maui, Lanai and Molokai, is stepping down as chairperson of the House Human Services Committee because of unspecified “health issues.” Then just a few days later, she resigns from the Legislature itself… Wait, what’s this: the Maui Police Commission has started meeting outside of the heavily fortified Wailuku Police Station, which requires members of the public to show ID at the front desk and get escorted to the meeting? That’s right–as an experiment, the commission will now occasionally hold their meetings at places like the

University of Hawaii Maui College campus…

We have a new governor–David Ige–and the state Legislature is about to go into session.

Since Democrats run everything, we should expect pro-environmental actions across the board, right? Wrong! Not long after Senate President Donna Mercado Kim muses publicly about eliminating the state Land Use Commission, Gov. Ige nominates Castle & Cooke lobbyist Carleton Ching to be chairman of the Board of Land and Natural Resources. Their timing couldn’t be better, what with a federal judge once again slapping a big Clean Water Act violation on the County of Maui for injecting treated sewage into the ground at the Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility. “This environmental disaster has been going on for over 30 years,” Earthjustice’s David Henkin says of the ruling. The coral reefs off North Beach that have been decimated by the sewage injections have no comment… And the U.S. Army announces that it’s pulling a huge chunk of their forces out of Hawaii, but only South Maui Rep. Kaniela Ing seems happy

second (MBPS), but my office–in the heart of Wailuku Town–never seems to get better than 7 MBPS. Guess we’re just special… That didn’t take long: barely a month after it was introduced, Sen. Baker’s SB 497 got deferred to the 2016 session. Well, it was fun while it lasted… In the not fun but very necessary category, President Barack Obama signs the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act, which should make life easier for troubled vets. This was good news for Maui’s U.S. Congressional Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D–2nd District.

“As an Army National Guard soldier and veteran, it breaks my heart to know that there is an average of 22 who take their own life, every day,” Gabbard said in a Feb. 12 news release on the bill-signing. “This is a clear indication that the current system is failing our veterans.”

Speaking of Gabbard, she’s getting married to cinematographer Abraham Williams. “He has nothing to do with politics,” Gabbard tells the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. “He’s a humble, great guy who doesn’t want to be in the lime-

MARCH Monsanto lobbyist (sorry–Community and Government Affairs Manager) Carol Reimann gets appointed to the Maui County Civil Service Commission. Because, well, draw your own conclusions… Mayor Arakawa delivers his 2015 State of the County Address at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. “If you look at our private sector, our tourism industry has had record-setting years as far as visitor numbers and spending,” Arakawa says. “Property valuations are up again this year, which means the home real estate market is also rebounding.”... Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar celebrates the start of its 143rd cane burning season! Celebrates, mostly, because last year sucked from a sugar-growing perspective.

“2014 was a challenging year for our operations,” HC&S General Manager Rick Volner, Jr. says in a Mar. 6 letter to residents. “Wet weather throughout the year created difficult harvesting conditions and delays which hindered sugar production. HC&S produced just over 162,000 tons of sugar, the lowest annual production since 2009.” Just 162,000 tons?

The world’s cardiologists mourn… The state Legislature considers relaxing some commercial prohibitions on Kaho‘olawe. Senate Bill 897 would legalize “limited revenue-generating activities” on the island to support “the rehabilitation of the island reserve.” Kaho‘olawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) officials support the bill (they need money really, really badly) but can’t say for certain what those “activities” might be… Not to get anyone’s hopes up, but there’s yet another bill that would finally define the word “dancing” in the Legislature this year. As usual, it’s being pushed

by Jiva Jive (who used to go by the name Anthony Simmons). “As the co-founder of Maui Dance Advocates we have been trying for nine years to reform the dancing rules in Maui,” he said. Doubt we’ll be hearing more on this one, but you never can tell… Local author/ playwright Wayne Moniz appears at Barnes & Noble in Lahaina to promote Pukoko, his new

Kahoolawe’s future?

novel about a Hawaiian in the American Civil War. Though based on actual Hawaiians who fought in that war, Moniz’s work is entirely fictional. “He is a gentle character,” Moniz tells me. “Part of that is the Hawaiian spirit–be gentle and nice, and he carries it through…

These guys really didn’t want to fight, but you get to a point where someone has to fight for what’s right.”... After two months of legislative meetings, bland assurances from the governor’s office and furious opposition from environmentalists across Hawaii, Gov. Ige finally pulls the plug on the Carleton Ching nomination. Turns out most of the people who voted for Ige don’t care for a big developer’s lobbyist to run the state department charged with protecting state lands and natural resources.

Hey, Ige’s still new at this governor thing, and it’s so early in his administration that no one will remember this a year from now. Still, not alienating your biggest supporters is one of the biggest rules in politics, right?

report, which states that the county Dept. of Finance missed a $21 million Health Benefits Trust Fund opportunity. County Finance Director Danny Agsalog disputes that, saying the audit report’s investment advice would have constituted a “significant risk.”... Honolulu Judge Susan Oki Mollway smacks down the U.S. Navy and the National Marine Fisheries Service–even daring to toss poetry at them–for approving naval training permits in the Pacific that will potentially harm thousands of marine animals. “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, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.’”...

I was always partial to Lord Byron, but to each her own… Irene Bowie, the longtime executive director of Maui Tomorrow, announces that she’s retiring and moving to the Mainland. We will miss her and wish her well…

The month ends with a “disturbance” at Maui Community Correctional Center. Apparently an unknown number of inmates started something for some unexplained reason at breakfast, which then got prison officials to get all “crisis response” for a half-hour, then every-

In their infinite wisdom, the Arakawa Administration has decided to terminate the “3-Can” curbside recycling test project that’s been going on for the last couple of years in South Maui. At first Arakawa decreed that anyone who didn’t turn over their bins would face fines or worse (because, as we all know, using illegal receptacles is how Dillinger got started). Anyway, as he’s wont to do where recycling is concerned, Arakawa has seen fit to reverse himself, and says South Maui residents can keep their bins.Yay for tiny, meaningless victories!... The County of Maui decides that it needs to conduct a $35,000 study of our crappy Internet download speeds. Here’s something to study: a Pacific Business News article this month reports that Wailuku has download speeds around 17 megabits per

light, so this is something new to the both of us.”... Mele Carroll passes away. We may have disagreed with her on a variety of issues (her vehement opposition to same-sex marriage probably being the biggest) but there was no question she was an honorable legislator who worked very hard for her constituents. Just a day after Carroll’s death, Gov. Ige names Molokai resident/state Board of Agriculture member Lynn DeCoite to succeed her… Haiku’s own Leilani Farm Sanctuary gets featured in the premiere episode of the new National Geographic WILD series Aloha Vet. The star of that show turns out to be blind pig… Oh, and by the way, given that a slim majority of Americans now support marijuana legalization, and more than three-quarters of the world’s doctors support medical marijuana, could we maybe let Patients Without Time cannabis co-op founder Brian Murphy out of Maui Community Correctional Center? He should never have gone to prison in the first place for selling medical marijuana (which is legal to grow in Hawaii but not sell) and new bills might legalize even the sale of it…. After a long, drawn-out and at times bizarre hearing that included allegations of both workplace harassment and the sending of a picture of a dead squirrel to Councilman Don Guzman (trust me–you had to be there), the Maui County Council approves of John D. Kim serving another term as Maui County Prosecuting Attorney.

about it. While every local, state and federal official around Hawaii is adding his or her name to a letter or resolution calling on the army to stay (hey, the Military-Industrial Complex may be bad, but it sure is addictive), Ing is waving goodbye to the military. “I support the Army, the moves that the Army is doing,” Ing says on the House floor on Jan. 22. “This decision will be welcome.” Wow: state Senator Roz Baker introduces Senate Bill 497, which “repeals the privacy exemption within the Uniform Information Practices Act for county police department officers.” If this bill becomes law, then Maui County residents would finally learn the identities of police officers who’ve been internally punished by their department.

APRIL The whole island holds their collective breath when Wesley Lo, Hawaii Health Systems Corporation Maui region CEO, announces that the county’s hospitals will have to make some pretty major cuts in services.

That’s because the hospital region–which includes Maui Memorial Medical Center–will likely end this year with a $46.3 million deficit. “The cuts to our hospitals, facilities, staffing and services we provide our communities will set us back 20 years,” Lo says. But there’s hope! House Bill 1075 would make it legal for hospitals like Maui Memorial to find a private partner–assuming the state Legislature decides to once again low-ball appropriations to our hospitals. Lo says such a partnership would make things much better, but just to be on the safe side, he’s all for scaring the hell out of island residents with talk of devastating cuts…

Speaking of impending disasters, the Maui Police Department will test body cameras on 10 of their officers this month. It’s just a test, and the MPD (as usual) doesn’t trust the public with the knowledge of how many officers will take part, their identities, deployments and policies governing the use of the cameras (like whether officers will be able to turn them on and off at their discretion and what will ultimately become of the footage). Nationwide, this is a pretty popular police reform, though it does have great potential to violate citizens’ privacy, though the ACLU believes the best policy regarding body cameras is to have them running all the time, with no discretion given to the officer to turn them off… County Auditor Lance Taguchi releases his office’s first audit

thing ended peacefully and the prison went on full lockdown for 24 hours. Though prison officials don’t explain why the disturbance took place, they did acknowledge that MCCC is “overcrowded”–in fact, the module where the disturbance took place holds 81 inmates, even though it was only built for 48.

MAY Yay, the terrible soap opera known as Maui Memorial Budget Woes may come to an end.

On May 1, both the state House and Senate pass House Bill 1075 CD1, which allows Hawaii Health Systems Corporation to get private hospital partners. Legislators expect Ige to sign the bill… Brian Murphy is free! Five months into his year-long prison sentence, Murphy can go free, his attorney Chris Dunn tells us. Dunn had filed two motions to modify Murphy’s terms and conditions of parole, and the second one–which included substantive documentation of Murphy’s epilepsy and PTSD–convinced Judge Cardoza to both release Murphy and suspend the remaining seven months of his sentence… The same day Murphy goes free, the state Legislature passes House Bill 321 CD1, which legalizes exactly Continued on Page 10

monitoring program and the USA Freedom Act, which would overturn some of the government’s surveillance programs, saying it “doesn’t go far enough.”... Because the bill in the state Legislature that would have legalized limited commercial (“revenue generating”) activities on Kaho‘olawe died in committee, the KIRC announces that they need to crowd-source $100,000 in the next 30 days or face disaster. “If we do not reach the $100K mark, the Reserve will be closed down–all resultant of this year’s legislative results,” KIRC spokesperson Kelly McHugh says in a May 19 email… Paid parking was supposed to start at the Shops of Wailea this month–new gates are up and everything–but public outcry seems to have at least delayed the project… Now for some sad news: MANA Magazine, a publication dedicated to all things Hawaiian, is going out of business. “As is the case with most publications, our ability to sustain MANA is done so by the support of our community through subscription dollars, advertising dollars and sponsorship dollars,” says a statement posted on the MANA website. “Sadly, after more than 3 years, the amount of support that we needed to keep MANA afloat did not emerge.”... Maui Tomorrow announces that Albert Perez, one of the nonprofit organization’s founding directors, will return as its new executive director. The Hawaii native has a master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from UH and has worked in the past for both the State of Hawaii and the County of Maui.

JUNE Oh, joy: County Managing Director Keith Regan is running for the Maui County Council. He’s the guy who, at least on paper, makes sure that all the county departments are running properly–a job he’s held since Arakawa got himself reelected in 2010. Given the problems at the Department of Environmental Management (those pesky injection well lawsuits) and past issues with the Parks Department (the former director got an early retirement after letting county employees golf on county time), Regan’s record is, to say the least, mixed. Now he wants the council seat currently held

by Mike Victorino, who can’t run for reelection in 2016 because of term limits. To say his campaign is closely tied to Mayor Arakawa is an understatement–Regan’s campaign manager is Herman Andaya, Arakawa’s chief of staff… So that Kaho‘olawe Island Reserve crowd-funding thing isn’t going so hot. The 30-day window is nearly closed, but the KIRC has so far only gotten pledges for about $33,800. Uh oh… Two of Maui’s Finest made the papers in early June, but it wasn’t the kind of press that reassures the public. First, MPD receiving desk staff Rachel Garvin got busted for driving under the influence. Second, an unnamed Maui cop is being investigated by Internal Affairs for allegedly “exposing his genitals and masturbating in a vehicle” at two locations in Pukalani… Glad to see you’re still with us. Why don’t you take a break and get a cup of coffee

and maybe a sandwich? Go ahead, we’ve still got a lot of ground to cover… The Mookiha O Piilani, launches this month.

JULY

The State of Hawaii creates an Environmental Court, and it only seems right that the first case it deals with concerns cane burning. “On July 1 [the organization] Stop Cane Burning filed suit against the Hawaii Department of Health (DoH) alleging that the regulatory system which allows open air agricultural burning is unconstitutional,” stated a news release from Stop Cane Burning. “Their attorney, Lance D. Collins, is asking for an injunction to immediately stop agricultural burning on Maui.”... Perhaps seeing a chance for compromise in the long war against cane burning, South Maui Rep. Kaniela Ing pro-

Mmm... sugar

poses that everyone sit down and talk out a solution. “Stop Cane Burning’s lawsuit is a reminder to policy makers of what happens when we ignore an issue for too long,” Ing says in a statement released from his office. “If we don’t craft solutions that work for everyone, the result could be litigation that hurts everyone–no matter which side prevails.” For that reason, Ing calls for the creation of a new commission to study cane burning complaints and weather patterns, pay for better DOH weather reporting and research “the cost of converting operations to no-burn harvesting or leasing out cane plots to diversified crops such as sunflower for biofuel or hemp for a variety of uses.”... The incredible Solar Impulse 2 aircraft–designed to fly around the world entirely powered by the sun–lands on Oahu after an epic 117-hour flight from Japan.

Unfortunately, the aircraft’s crew and owners quickly announce that damaged sustained by the aircraft during its record-breaking flight means it will have to sit in a hanger until the spring of 2016 before it can leave Hawaii…

People around the state begin coming to terms with the fact that a new law just signed

by Gov. Ige will prohibit the sale, purchase, possession and consumption of tobacco and electronic smoking devices to anyone under the age of 21… Uh oh–the substance abuse treatment nonprofit Aloha House Maui–also known as Maui Behavioral Health Resources–gets busted by the feds (specifically, the Department of Labor). The problem: they “paid for overtime hours worked by several of its behavioral health services employees at time and a half the federal minimum wage of $7.25 rather than time and a half the employees’ regular hourly rates, as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act [FLSA],” the DOL says in a July 22 news release. For his part, Aloha House CEO Jud Cunningham calls the DOL staff “professional” and says the problem the wage “calculations were made in error and were in no way an indication of intent on our part to undermine the integrity of the FLSA’s overtime pay requirements or treat employees unfairly.”... It’s been about seven months since Florida-based NextEra Energy announced that they intended to merge with Hawaiian Electric Industries, and state and local officials are starting to go public with rather intense opposition to the utilities merger. Gov. Ige says the merger “fails to align with the state’s renewable energy goals” and Mayor Arakawa says Maui should instead start “our own municipal utility.” Needless to say, Sierra Club Hawaii Executive Director Marti Townsend was very pleased with Ige’s and Arakawa’s statements.

“NextEra is just not on the same page with the rest of Hawaii,” she says… A slew of international trade ministers descend on the Westin Maui Resort in Kaanapali to (perhaps) conclude the long and very controversial negotiations on a Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)–a massive free trade zone in the Pacific region.

AUGUST A massive force of Maui police officers arrests 20 activists at the Maui Baseyard as they block trucks carrying telescope equipment bound for Haleakala. One of those arrested, UH Maui College Hawaiian Studies Professor Kaleikoa Ka‘eo, releases a defiant statement on Aug. 2: “Funda-

mentally, we are asserting our human rights,” he says. “Actions taken Thursday night were in direct response to the National Solar Observatories [sic] desire to further desecrate and unlawfully control our sacred mountaintop.

As such, we had no choice but to resist and demonstrate our demands for our humanity to be recognized and for equal protection of human rights… this is just the beginning of things to come. The fact that MPD organized a huge police presence exposes the fact that they are fearful and threatened by an organized, educated Hawaiian movement.”...

While the race to succeed Maui County Councilmember Mike Victorino is open, candidate Keith Regan certainly enjoys the trappings that usually come with incumbency. Case in point: on Saturday, Aug. 8, Regan holds a $150/person fundraiser at Maui County Corporation Counsel/ bigtime gambling winner Patrick Wong’s home in Kula… The vital newsletter Environment Hawaii celebrates its 25th year this month in Hilo. It may be a tiny publication run by just two people, but everyone in the state owes a great deal to Founder/Editor Patricia Tummons and her staff writer Teresa Dawson…

Oh man: on Aug. 5, Maui Police officers shoot and kill Raymond Hodge, a 39-year-old who’s been on Maui for two years, at Keopualani Park.

According to the department, Hodge was apparently armed and carrying a fake U.S. Immigration badge. The MPD states that Hodge fired first at officers, who returned fire and killed him (50 shell casings were recovered from the scene). The department also releases a photo of a shot-up police cruiser, but then later admits that it was hit “by both sides.”... Guess Carol Reimann’s work on the Civil Service Commission is over–Mayor Arakawa appoints the now-former Monsanto lobbyist to be the director of the Department of Housing and Human Concerns. Arakawa’s reason? “Carol has worked with almost every developer and construction company on Maui, the same people who would be building affordable housing,” he notes in this month’s edition of the county High Street Journal newsletter… Don’t get up yet! Some of the best stuff is coming up!... Good news for you Zippy’s fans: the insanely popular chain announces that the Kahului location now has a heart defibrillator on site. “Ensuring that all of our employees and customers are safe while at our restaurant locations is a high priority for us,” says Paul Yokota, the president of FCH Enterprises, Zippy’s parent company. In one of those heart-stopping (sorry!) coincidences that makes journalism fun, Zippy’s this month is running a special contest in which first prize is $5,000 and second prize is 12 cases (that’s 432 cans) of Pepsi… World-famous Maui wave-rider Jesse Richman takes off to kitesurf the Great Barrier Reef’s 1,000 kilometers to help fight Motor Neuron Disease… Paid parking at the Shops of Wailea is once again on hold, this time because the county Fire Department tells them to install some sort of emergency access or risk firefighters busting down the gates the first time they have to arrive on a call… Maui police arrest another eight Haleakala telescope protesters–this time, though, they’re on Haleakala Crater Road… User data for the website Ashley Madison (which is like a dating site for people who are already married

but want to cheat) gets dumped online, and that means we can finally determine which town on Maui had the most users. It’s Kihei (big surprise, we know)... The office of the state Consumer Advocate releases more than 500 pages of testimony that rip the proposed NextEra/Hawaiian Electric Industries merger into tiny little pieces… It’s only August, and this year’s hurricane season already looks to be one of the meanest on record. In fact, late August marks the first time we’ve ever had three massive Category 4 hurricanes in the central

classroom.”... Turns out Maui County Corporation Counsel Patrick Wong loves–I mean, really loves–Las Vegas. Guy goes there every year and plays poker, craps and slots. And he wins, too– in fact, his winnings run between $500,000 and $1.2 million since 2011, according to his annual personal disclosure statements. “He doesn’t want to talk,” county Communications Director Rod Antone says when we asked to talk with Wong about his winnings. “Not because he’s being cagey, but because he doesn’t want to jinx it.”... Oh, and another Maui cop has been busted for DUI–this time, it’s Officer John Salomon of Pukalani. And though that Pukalani flasher earlier this month was an cop, the MPD still isn’t releasing any names… Yikes: on June 13, cops shoot a guy named Shawn Akamine during a traffic stop, after Akamine exited his vehicle and opened fire. Apparently, the cops shot Akamine in the leg, and he then turned his gun on himself… In no surprise at all, a federal judge strikes down last year’s Maui anti-GMO ballot measure... The U.S. Supreme Court announces that same-sex marriage is legal everywhere. So at least there’s some good news this month… On June 30, about a hundred people show up in Kepaniwai Park in Iao Valley for the unveiling of a new History of African Americans in Hawaii monument. It’s the product of a decade of work from activists like Dr. Ayin Adams and Gwyn Gorg, the current president of African Americans on Maui, and it’s a welcome and necessary addition to the park… Perhaps inspired by the kanaka maoli activists fighting the new Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) on Mauna Kea, a group of Maui activists ratchet up their protests of the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on Haleakala. One big problem–TMT construction just started, whereas the Haleakala scope is nearly complete.

According to GQ, it was none other than the president’s son Chip… In a mindless act of corporate stupidity, Hawaiian Electric Industries decides to “celebrate” Sept. 11 by posting recipes for BBQ bacon sliders and white chocolate pretzel clusters on its Facebook page (and even helpfully included the hashtags #NeverForget and #WeRemember). Company spokesperson Sharon Higa later apologizes (but only after we call her on it) and says the company has removed the post… Not to be outdone

by Keith Regan’s ties to big contributors and major county players, Maui County Council candidate Joe Blackburn (who’s running for the seat currently held by Mike Victorino for the third time) starts offering free donuts at his Blackburn’s Corner in Wailuku on Thursday mornings from 8-10am. But on the first day, the donuts are all gone by 8:45… In response to Judge Mollway’s poetic ruling a few months ago, the U.S. Navy agrees to limit the use of its active sonar and underwater demolitions during its major military exercises off Hawaii and California… Congressional Rep.

in each of the last six presidential contests (going back to 1992), Hawaii voter turnout rates exceeded those of the U.S. as a whole… And here it is: the Maui PD finally reveals the identity of its officer who was allegedly the infamous Pukalani Flasher back in May, and guess what?

It was indeed Officer John Salomon, who was also arrested at the same time for DUI. In response to our snarky post about this, a county official emails us to say that Salomon was a

Rep. Gabbard

decent cop who is suffering from PTSD after responding to a bad 2014 plane crash on Lanai.

“He needs help and should go to some sort of mental health facility, not jail,” the official says. While undoubtedly true, the official has conveniently forgotten that Salomon spent the last three years as a cop dedicated to throwing non-police officers into prison for doing far less. Had Salomon been a nobody suffering PTSD who allegedly did what he did, we’d be sending him to prison and no one would protest… Now tasked with finding a private partner for Maui Memorial Medical Center, the Maui Regional System Board agrees on Kaiser Permanente.

The giant healthcare provider, which famously runs a closed system where only Kaiser members can get care from Kaiser facilities, insists that Maui Memorial would remain open to everyone, regardless of insurance. It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that the Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA), which has opposed partnering Maui Memorial with a private company, is skeptical of the arrangement.

“As is our responsibility, we will remain a strong watchdog to ensure employees are being treated fairly and that contract terms are being upheld,” HGEA Executive Director Randy Perreira says.

#COMEMYHOUSEEAT

OCTOBER Is something weird going on over at the Maui PD? Because their internal misconduct stories are just getting scarier. On Oct. 1, the MPD once again arrests one of their own, this time Officer Anthony Maldonado of Makawao.

His alleged crime? Theft in the second degree.

No word on what Maldonado is accused of stealing, but this is it, right? No more bad cop stories this year?... Oh here’s some more good news on climate change, courtesy the U.S. Geological Survey: “A new study shows that the combined effect of storm-induced wave-driven flooding and sea level rise on island atolls may be more severe and happen sooner than previous estimates of inundation predicted by passive ‘bathtub’ modeling for low-lying atoll islands, and especially at higher sea levels forecasted for the future due to climate change.”

The good news is Hawaii isn’t in danger of disappearing completely. The bad news is our coastline will move inland, probably sooner than later… Rep. Gabbard, who is also in the Hawaii National Guard, gets promoted to Major... Remember that local guy who was yelling all kinds of insults at white people in that February 2014 YouTube video? Turns out he really freaked out county officials so much so that they’re creating a new Office of the Hospitality Industry Advocate (OHIA). This office (just two guys right now) intends to do three things: First, spruce up our county’s roads and towns so they’re more visitor-friendly; Second, bring more tourists from Asia to the county; and Third, teach everyone in the county to show more aloha to tourists. Needless to say, longtime government-watchers like Maui Tomorrow’s Albert Perez aren’t pleased. “We’re

having three families to a house [and] sewage overflowing from injection wells is destroying our reefs,” he says. “So many things would be improved if we focused on the quality of life of our residents. Then we wouldn’t have to teach residents about aloha.”... News breaks in The Maui News that former Maui Film Commissioner Harry Donenfeld secretly recorded an hour-long meeting back in May 2013 at a Kahului Starbucks with Managing Director Keith Regan, Chief of Staff Herman Andaya and Communications Director Rod Antone. The purpose of the meeting was to make Donenfeld play ball and stop bad-mouthing big-time Hollywood producer Ryan Kavanaugh, who was also a big-money donor to Mayor Alan Arakawa’s Kokua Fund. And they weren’t subtle either, with Regan especially explaining local government as nothing more than crass campaign politics. “Nothing else really matters because if the mayor is not re-elected none of us have jobs,” Regan said, according to the recording (which I also had the sickening privilege of hearing). “Let’s be very frank. We’re all political.

We’re very connected to the mayor. If he loses, we lose, our families lose, those who depend on us lose.” Later in the conversation, Regan and Antone talk of how Donenfeld should lie is way out of an upcoming media interview on the Maui Film Studio, a locally built film operation that Kavanaugh (whose Relativity Media has in the years since the recording gone bankrupt) views as an existential threat to his own Maui plans… Oh, and Frank Silva, who’s directed the county Liquor Control Department for the last 22 years, will retire at the end of October. This sets off a firestorm of controversy when the Liquor Commission, which oversees the director, twice attempts to appoint one of

The Campaign Spending Commission busts state Rep. Angus McKelvey, D–West Maui, for campaign irregularities in 2014, including not filing timely or accurate campaign reports and for letting his mother (Joan McKelvey) handle campaign money even though she wasn’t authorized to do so. McKelvey apologizes, but also blames his former campaign treasurer.

the Republican Party these days, but Hawaii’s U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono, who is herself an immigrant from Japan, isn’t at all pleased with this trend. “Today’s politicians–from Presidential candidates to sitting governors–appeal to our nation’s fears in arguing against any meaningful reform of our broken immigration system,” she says. “Conjuring up shadowy images fuels these fears… Violent gang members from South America. Terrorists from the Middle East… In their divisive rhetoric and in their rush to build walls and close our borders, they neglect the faces of those they demonize. And they forget the facts.”... Though it’s opposed by the NAACP and a host of other civil rights organizations, and despite her own past rhetoric showing strong support for civil rights, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard votes for House Resolution 1737, which would strip the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of its powers to keep auto lenders from discriminating on the basis of race or gender…

Change Campaign Committee move across 10 states, South Maui Rep. Kaniela Ing says he will propose legislation to make college debt-free: “UH tuition has tripled in the past decade, and crippling student debt is keeping young people from buying homes or starting businesses,” Ing says. “Today’s degrees are hardly tickets, or even receipts; too often, they’re bills.”... The State of Hawaii (specifically the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs) gives the nod to the proposed transfer of Oceanic Time Warner Cable’s licenses to Charter Communications, which would affect about 200,000 cable customers in Hawaii. Of course, the Federal Communications Commission still has final say... Not to be outdone by the special committee studying the county manager proposal, the Maui County Council begins work on a possible new law that would require council approval over all mayoral department directors, not merely the Prosecuting Attorney, Corporation Counsel and Department of Water Supply… Speaking of which, the Arakawa Administration’s big waste-to-energy project that it feels will make recycling obsolete may be stalled, but that doesn’t mean the mayor can’t play musical chairs over at the Department of Environmental Management. Longtime director Kyle Ginoza–who was in charge of all the big

Though founded back in 2007, the little nonprofit organization Na Hale O Maui–which is dedicated to providing truly affordable homes to Maui residents–finally builds its first home.

Using a land trust model, the organization will sell a new single-family home in Waikapu for a fraction of its market neighbors because land itself is held by the trust. Of course, the family moving into the home can only sell the home back to Na Hale O Maui (again, at nowhere near the market value), but who cares if all you want is a truly affordable home?... Salt Lake City

author Julie Checkoway writes a marvelous (and meticulously researched) new history of Maui swimming coach Soichi Sakamoto. Titled The Three-Year Swim Club, the book details how Sakamoto took a bunch of local kids splashing in the Pu‘unene sugar ditches in the 1930s and turned them into international swimming legends… Just when you thought the LC couldn’t get stranger: the day before he was to take over as LC Director, Dana Souza sends a brief letter to the county declining the position.

He gives no reason, and doesn’t answer the phone when I call asking for an explanation. Apparently shaken, the Liquor Commission decides to set up an actual, open process of taking applications that should take a few months… Sick of the endless stories of filthy county parks, trash service that’s always being interrupted and potentially huge fines from illegal injection wells, a group of activists decides on a new course: draft a new county charter amendment that would strip our current mayor’s office of most of its powers and give them to a new county manager (who would be appointed by the Maui County Council).

Mayor Arakawa and his minions (most notably Keith Regan) cry foul, but even longtime mayoral hopeful Mike Victorino agrees to create a task force that will spend the next few months studying the idea… The state Land Use Commission (LUC) begins holding hearings at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on the proposed Olowalu Town development. Now who would think constructing 1,500 residential units in Olowalu (currently home to just 80 people) and imperiling one of the last healthy coral reefs in the state would be controversial, but go figure… News breaks that back on Halloween, the Maui PD arrested Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes at the Four Seasons Wailea for alleged spousal abuse (Reyes has pleaded not guilty)... Remember Carleton Ching? He’s back!

But this time he’s a shoe-in: the University of Hawaii names him to be their new Director of Land Development. The job (which didn’t before exist) will pay about $143,000 a year–way more than the $133,000 salary he stood to make had he gotten the top job at the DLNR… Anti-immigrant fascism may be all the rage in

Olowalu saved... for now.

depressions–not one of which hit Hawaii...

The LUC concludes its last meeting on Maui on Olowalu Town by rejecting the project’s Environmental Impact Statement. While not an immediate death-knell to the big proposal, it certainly represents a major setback… The state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism releases a new report that shows surprising home sale data for Hawaii–specifically, that since 2008, a majority (52 percent) of homes sold on Maui were to people who didn’t actually live here. Given the local housing market, and that most people here work in the service industry, this is very disconcerting… In marked contrast to her vote on HR 1737, Rep. Gabbard announces support for two sentencing reform measures in congress. One, the Sentencing Reform Act would reduce mandatory minimum sentences, while the other–the SAFE Justice Act–would mandate a wide range of reforms on the criminal justice system… As part of a Progressive

anti-recycling moves (including the decision to pay Recycling Coordinator Hana Steel to stay home for 18 months)–is leaving for a cushy job at Hawaii Gas, so Arakawa (for whatever reason) saw fit to move Stewart Stant, a Wastewater division manager, to Ginoza’s old job, bypassing Deputy Director Mike Miyamoto. So it goes… As more luxury condos go up in Wailea (the majority of which are being sold to outof-state residents, to no one’s surprise), we end the year by looking back with some fondness on Alexander & Baldwin’s original vision for Wailea: public transportation, car-free streets, a central public core, a Hawaiian antiquities museum and a permanent population of 50,000, which would include all the people who work at the hotels, restaurants and resorts that make Wailea such a destination.

place. But as luck would have it, the hostess bar Club Koa closed on Lower Main in Wailuku and Vosburg thought she’d found the little oasis she was looking for.

“I opened on February 22–it was actually my 40th birthday,” says Vosburg. “It was because we looked in Kihei for something for the Sports Page forever and it got to the point where I thought I want to do something because I was paying a fortune for storage. There was nothing in Kihei, so I thought I would look in Wailuku since I have lived here for the last 11 years. I decided to do this one myself, without partners. I wanted something small that I could manage. My staff is from Sports Page. You will see some familiar faces here from Sports Page like Mark Barrett and Tracy Elliot.”

Vosburg loves sports and follows it all, so it’s a given that you can see a game from every seat in the bar. The 80-inch screen over the bar is just one of 11 sets

Playmakers itself is open noon-midnight Monday through Friday and noon-2am on weekends. Both spots will be open on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. “It’s ridiculous how good their food is,” says Vosburg. “It’s bringing more people here. My kitchen is not up to par for that, so it’s perfect. We got our fryers and we are doing the greasy food, and Wayne’s menu covers the good stuff.”

The food truck is a boat that the Miyahiros retrofitted into a food truck. It sits right out front of Playmakers, a new landmark along Lower Main.

“We parked at the harbor for four days,” Miyahiro says. “It was too hard to move the boat everyday. So we were in Kihei doing Bruddah Willie Sticky Ribs, but he only had a few weeks there. This year has been really tough. So when we found this spot with Vosburg, we were ready to try again.”

love it when two great things get together. So when I saw that Wayne’s Sushi Fresh Off the Boat teamed up with Playmakers Sports Bar, I knew I’d found a heavenly match.

Playmakers Sports Bar is something like a child of the old Sports Page in Kihei.

Owner Misha Vosburg was part of the crew that owned and ran Sports Page when their lease ran out. But they weren’t able to find a new Kihei location, and Sports Page had to close. She says the Sports Page will always have a special place in her heart.

After tucking the remaining parts of Sports Page in a storage locker, she didn’t think she was ever going to find a new

in the establishment (which also includes a projector). She is a virtual encyclopedia of sports, and also makes a kick ass Bloody Mary. Her secret Bloody Mary mix is a family recipe handed down from her mom, who ran a bar in Minnesota in the small town where Vosburg grew up.

Playmakers Sports Bar has been settling in for a weekly schedule of entertainment–Monday night is bingo at 7pm; Wednesday night is Playtime with Kalai and DJ Stylz; trivia on Thursday; Friday and Saturday has live music with no cover; and this Sunday is the last football game of the season with breakfast buffet and a Bloody Mary bar. Of course, you can look forward to an amazing Superbowl party here, but as football season wraps up basketball will get going. Their UFC fight nights have been fun, and the cover will be just $10 this Saturday. For music, Natalie Nicole plays Jan 2, 15 and 29.

The sports bar also features a short list of fried pub favorites like breaded zucchini,

New York Steak Bites

onion rings, crab wontons, steak cut fries and jalapeno poppers. Vosburg knew she wanted a bigger menu, something healthier than fried food, but felt her kitchen wasn’t up for the job.

Enter Wayne and Heidi Miyahiro with their Fresh Off the Boat food truck.

Wayne’s Sushi built a following at their Haiku location, then started it going again with their truck parked near Costco. But that food truck park closed, and they’ve been bouncing around trying to work out permits and find a spot again.

Vosburg says she originally wanted to work with Wayne when she was in Kihei, so when they figured out that they could work together in Wailuku, it was kismet. The new menu is solid: New York steak teppanyaki, fusion sushi rolls, garlic shrimp, grilled salmon, tempura, salads and specials. Wayne’s Sushi is open 11am to 7pm (but is closed on Tuesdays).

on the way home and the sushi was spot on.

Miyahiro is a stickler for quality control, and it shows.You can order sushi from inside Playmakers and Heidi runs it in, or you can drive by and pick up and have a cocktail while you wait. Wayne’s fusion rolls are a family favorite combining his housemade sauces, impeccable seasonings, seafood, tempura and skills.

Vosburg plans to have a one-year anniversary bash for Playmakers on Feb. 22, so save the date.

“I’m really happy doing what I am doing here,” says Vosburg. “There are great people.

No tourists, all regulars. You see the same people all the time. So far, no complaints, no fights, really smooth. The support is overwhelming–knock on wood! I love Maui and I love Wailuku. I’m very fortunate.” ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more foodie news, visit: mauitime.com/food-drink

Film

by Barry Wurst II

Best of the Wurst We run down the best films of 2015

I

t’s the end of the year, and that means another installment of the Best of the Wurst–what I thought were the best films of 2015. Enjoy!

Love & Mercy I fell hard for this Brian Wilson rock and roll bio the first time I saw it, at the opening night of last summer’s Maui Film Festival. Whether you’re a fan of The Beach Boys, this wondrous, emotionally devastating true story will hit you hard.

Director Bill Pohlad’s film is a dual depiction of how Brian Wilson (played by Paul Dano as a young man) had to overcome his cruel father and skeptical band mates and, later (as played by John Cusack as older, lost and bewildered), barely survived his sadistic, controlling doctor (Paul Giamatti). The glorious sequences of Wilson creating brilliant, ahead-of-its-time music are contrasted with harrowing passages of his verbal and mental abuse.

The compassion and hope in Pohlad’s celebratory film resonates deeply, because Wilson’s personal and artistic triumphs are real. In life, we’re either victims or survivors. Love & Mercy portrays Wilson’s grueling struggle for personal identity and creative freedom.The movie works as a companion piece to his extraordinary Smile album, reminding us of the great rewards of overcoming those who seek to imprison and silence our inner voice.

Carol Todd Haynes recreates the atmosphere and language of the 1950s with such detailed intricacy, his spellbinding film is like a two-hour time machine. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara find nuance in their portrayals of very different women who discover a shared attraction.

Bookended by two opposing, telling and haunting shots of a hand resting on someone’s shoulder, Hayne’s beautiful, erotic and engrossing love story feels like a classic from start to finish.

Mad Max: Fury Road This one had everything working against it. Though it’s a stand-alone story, Fury Road is a fourth installment, had a lavish, massive and famously difficult production, lost its original star and was helmed by a 70-year old Aussie mad man. It could have been a giant disaster.

Instead, director George Miller delivered, offering visions so thrilling that I sat awestruck and utterly giddy. Charlize Theron’s unlikely performance is among her best and, taken as a straight-forward action spectacle or a timely allegory of empowerment, this miracle of a summer movie is unforgettable and essential cinema.

Irrational Man Woody Allen’s unsettling, hypnotic thriller stars Joaquin Phoenix and a never better Emma Stone and features some of Allen’s best filmmaking. The dark question of whether Phoenix’s off-kilter college professor is up to something sinister is contrasted with gorgeous scenery and upbeat jazz. Allen is most famous for making comedies but, once again, his whodunits offer the richest rewards.

Maggie The sleeper of the year, a festival darling that never found an audience or knew how to promote itself. This horror/ drama about a farmer trying to comfort his daughter and protect her humanity after being bitten by a zombie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. Debut director

Amazing how much 'Love & Mercy' resembled 'Mad Max: Fury Road'

Henry Hobson’s movie isn’t a joke or a gore fest but a heartbreaking allegory of how a parent comforts a dying child.

Abigail Breslin is terrific in the title role, while Ah-nuld, like the movie itself, is restrained and surprisingly great.

The Big Short Movies about Wall Street, the stock market, finances, the housing crisis and eventual bailout of 2008 tend to be either informative and talky or entertaining Faustian tales of moral compromise.

Adam McKay’s savage and hilarious serio-comedy manages to be both, a cautionary tale on the limits of greed and a farce on how no one listened to a cluster of odd but brilliant analysts who saw it all coming. Christian Bale’s layered, admirably wacky turn is yet another of his acting milestones.

Sicario This powerhouse pulled me in from the first scene. Shades of Cormac McCarthy and Sam Peckinpah are all over this edgy neo-western, in which a skilled FBI agent (Emily Blunt) is thrown into a world of moral ambiguity and corruption. Benicio Del Toro ably conveys the madness and hypocrisy of the world he inhabits. Director De-

nis Villeneuve gets better, grander and more daring with each film.

James White The title stinks and so does the poster. Thankfully, I gave into my curiosity and discovered Josh Mond’s excellent drama, about a spoiled loser (vividly portrayed by Christopher Abbott) whose aimless life is given meaning when he must care for his mother (a never better Cynthia Nixon).

Spectre The combination of Daniel Craig and Oscar winning director Sam Mendes taking on James Bond 007 reaches a franchise milestone. Terrific, stylish fun from start to finish, with Christoph Waltz emerging as one of the great Bond villains (to no one’s surprise).

Creed Writer/director Ryan Coogler surprised everyone by giving us Rocky 7 and making it essential. The fight scenes have the you-are-there immediacy of Raging Bull, while star Sylvester Stallone manages, astonishingly, to make Rocky Balboa even more endearing and vulnerable. No eighth entry is necessary: this final victory lap to the top of the Philadelphia. ■

Horoscope

Sign Language CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You’re a gobstopper in the midst of a major sucking session. Your colors and flavors are changing rapidly, thanks to powerful external forces, but I’m also worried that things might get out of control. So far these are just outer layers–different hats you’re capable of wearing, so to speak. But this much erosion, left unchecked, could affect your core, too. Make sure, while you’re experimenting, that you have an out–a safety line or two–or you could wind up in the belly of a beast much bigger than you are.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

The world’s a bloody mess. Anyone who has eyes to see can easily be daunted by the immense trouble we’re in. There are just too many problems happening all at once, with most of them resistant to simple solutions. Apathy is a real danger, because once you realize you’re helpless, it seems like your only option is to surrender and stop caring. It’s “out of your hands.” It’s not, though. True, you’re nowhere near powerful enough to solve any of the big stuff by yourself, but there are a couple quandaries you’re uniquely qualified to see clearly, and resolve completely. Please do so this week.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You can overdose on equanimity, to the point where it’s more of a curse than a blessing. Your ability to accept things as they are is slightly out of control. I usually admire your ability to serenely experience extreme situations without feeling any pressing compulsion to change them. However, it’s not always appropriate–sometimes they need transformation, and the only person equipped to do so is the person who’s standing just outside of them; in this case, you. Don’t be reluctant to get your hands dirty or engage in confrontation this week. If you know in your heart that you can “fix” something, please do so–you might be the only one who can.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Technology is changing human existence. Just knowing what time it is, all the time, or being able to contact people instantly, makes us dramatically different from humans of a few centuries ago. Too much of this “revolution” happens by default, unfortunately, without much conscious decision-making.

Stuff’s made, marketed, and embraced without consideration of how it’ll change us, until it’s too late.

It may sound stupid, but think about it: What’s your smartphone doing to you? Is it actually as necessary as you think it is? Examine the technology you use– from elevators to gadgets to automobiles–and make sure it’s actually making your life better, in the shortand long-term. Some of it just plain isn’t. Get rid of it.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

When walking the sidewalks of Paris, you have to watch your step, lest you step in one of the ubiquitous piles of dog shit. Consequently, you can sometimes fail to notice how pretty the city is, at least above sidewalk level. You’re not in France’s capital, but you might as well be; you’re so busy avoiding stinking messes that you’re completely missing the insanely beautiful experiences you’re actually moving through. Look up, already. Accept that you’re going to step in a little shit along the way. Once you get a look at what you’ve been missing, you’ll realize wading through crap is no big deal; it is, in fact, worth it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You’re as prickly as a cactus this week, but so what?

Most people find cacti cute, even lovable–provided they’re not surprised by a painful puncture. If they’re properly made aware of your barbed state, they’ll still be quite pleased to have you around. They might even admire your self-containment and resourcefulness. The worse thing you could do this week is succumb to your deeply-ingrained habits, and pretend to be as cheerful and sociable as ever. That’s dangerous bullshit. People don’t need you to be perky and happy all the time. Be real. You’ll see that people appreciate that more than a good mood.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You’ve got this idea that you’re limited by things you learned as a child, or that society subtly hard-wired into your brain. Re-writing that shit isn’t all that difficult; the challenge is actually coming around to the decision that a major edit is necessary. It’s scary to decide that a marriage doesn’t have to include sex to be viable and worthwhile, or that you don’t need a regular job to survive, or that raising your children with more than one other adult is a good idea. However, I think some of the “radical” ideas you’re considering could improve your life considerably. You can’t put off your commitment to them forever. This week, decide, one way or the other, if you’re going to rewrite what you’ve been taught, or stick with that lesson for good or ill.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Your usual strategy to deter predators and competition isn’t likely to work this week. Your current adversaries know that you generally never have to back up your aggressive song-and-dance with actual action. In other words, they’re not going to be scared off, and you’re not in a position to deter them open, so a new tactic is called for. Think of the pufferfish, which, when in danger, rapidly inflates itself with water until it’s many times its usual size.

In other words, when you’re threatened this week, don’t respond with threats of your own; simply make yourself too big for anyone to get their teeth around.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

January’s persistent gloom is depressing. The lack of sunlight is a bit grueling, and can make you feel basically lackluster and unlovable. Screw vim, vigor, or enthusiasm; just getting the job done is a huge accomplishment. Besides, everyone around you is more or less in the same boat, so no one’s going to notice your misery. Go ahead and be glum. Just don’t fall into the trap Virgos are notorious for: beating yourself up about it. Being blah is part of the winter cycle. Please don’t make it worse by feeling shitty about feeling shitty.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Your once-dainty rose-colored shades have become beer goggles. Everyone imposes filters–consciously or unconsciously–on their perception of the world around them. But occasionally this escalates to the point where your observations are no longer valid. People count on you for your uncanny insight and keen perception of the big picture, so when you venture into the realm of outright delusion, everyone around you feels a bit lost. Do what it takes this week to strip illusions from your sight and see, as much as possible, what’s really there.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Some outside influence—maybe your spouse, boss, or neighbor–has forced you to act contrary to your natural inclinations. They may have made an ultimatum or simply imposed subtle boundaries over time. This week those artificial limitations are likely to crumble, dramatically. Let them. You’re too stubborn and powerful to be walled-in by the will of another. Only you can decide to permanently alter your conduct. Measures imposed by others are, at best, temporary. Shrug off the yoke of external threats or nitpicking, and let those who’d control you know that only compelling reasoning and rational argument could possibly do the trick.

VOTED BEST

MAHALO, MAUI, FOR

VOTING US #1!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

I expect you to navigate this week with the metaphorical equivalents of a flag of truce in one hand and a machine gun in the other. You’re going to require both your ability to impose order on chaos, and your talent for generating pandemonium in too-structured situations. No one’s got it exactly right, neither the violently self-righteous assholes, nor the well-meaning, prissy rule-makers. We’d be drowning in blood or bureaucracy if either faction prevailed. So use your perversely contradictory talents wisely this week: tame the vicious and incite the faint-hearted, until they’re able to meet, and talk, somewhere in the middle.
