Pono is asking for the same thing.”

De Naie isn’t the only one troubled by Mahi Pono’s push for unfettered access to water. After seeing the bill, Rep. Lynn DeCoite drafted HB1573 (Sen. J. Kalani English sponsored the companion Senate Bill 1488) which is pretty much the polar opposite of the Mahi Pono initiative. DeCoite’s bill simply prohibits “any water use permit that authorizes the diversion of water from East Maui streams for commercial purposes.”

“I drafted the bill because constituents in my area have grave concerns about these water permits,” said DeCoite, whose District 13 covers East Maui, Lana‘i, and Moloka‘i.

First a bit of background.

East Maui’s water has been the source of contention and legislation since the first water lease was granted by King David Kalakaua in 1876. Big growers like Claus Spreckels and Alexander & Baldwin demanded cheap water for Central Maui sugarcane and took it; East Maui farmers needed water for more traditional crops like kalo, as well as other cultural practices, and lost it.

Over the years, constant sugarcane-related diversions emptied streams and ruined the ecosystem. In 2018, a 17-year water diversion battle ended when the state water commission ordered the full restoration of water flow Lester’s email raised eyebrows in the community to ten East Maui streams, plus limited or no diversions from another seven streams so that [MauiTime first broke the story of the habitat could be restored. sale of Alexander & Baldwin’s old sugarcane It was a big victory for kalo farmers, fishlands in November 2018.

ment: “At what point do we as a society see the connection between [violent hate crimes] and the religious bigotry being fomented in our society? We must all stand for religious freedom and call out this bigotry whenever it raises its ugly head.”

Look, I’m all for religious freedom. Frankly, it’s policy and leadership that matters most to me in any politician. But when a candidate comes fresh out the gate, misrepresenting a valid critique rather than debating ideas, that shows neither of those qualities. I say we must stand for critical thinking, and call out BS whenever we smell it. [As of press time, Rep. Gabbard and Soumya Shankar did not respond to a request for comment.]

Gabbard's comments are being used to attack Senate Democrats

TULSI GABBARD PENS NEW OP-ED, MISREPRESENTS CRITICISM Presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-2nd District) penned another oped over the weekend affirming the importance of religious liberty and denouncing bigotry. The Jan. 26 editorial for Religion News Service, titled “Religious bigotry is un-American,” echoes the call of her previous opinion piece in The Hill, “Elected leaders who weaponize religion are playing a dangerous game.”

Whereas Gabbard’s piece in The Hill was interpreted as a response to Sen. Mazie Hirono’s (D-HI) questions regarding a Trump judicial nominee’s Catholic background in relation to his stance on abortion, the latest piece includes veiled references to a Jan. 5 article in The Intercept, “Tulsi Gabbard Is a Rising Progressive Star, Despite Her Support for Hindu Nationalists.”

“While the headlines covering my announcement could have celebrated this historic first [of a Hindu presidential candidate], and maybe even informed Americans about the world’s third largest religion,” Gabbard wrote for RNS, “some have instead fomented suspicion, fear and religious bigotry about not only me but also my supporters.”

“That Hindus – alongside countless Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, agnostics and atheists – support me should not be newsworthy,” Gabbard continued.

“But some media outlets have chosen to craft a false narrative of intrigue by profiling and targeting all of my donors who have names of Hindu origin and accusing them of being ‘Hindu nationalists.’”

Her comment points to a sentence that was retracted by The Intercept on Jan. 25 with a note from the editor: “A previous version of this article included a parenthetical sentence about donations to Tulsi Gabbard from individuals with names of Hindu origin, as identified by an expert. The sentence was intended to show Gabbard’s broad base of support in the Hindu-American community, given her standing as the

first Hindu in Congress. We did not intend to question the motives of those political donors. We apologize for any such implication, and we have removed the sentence.”

The fact remains, however, that Gabbard is misrepresenting the Intercept article and its methodology.

As author Soumya Shankar wrote for The Intercept, “We cross-checked the names of Gabbard’s donors against opensource materials linked to Sangh organizations [a network of groups subscribing to a Hindu-supremacist ideology], such as event announcements and the groups’ websites.

According to our analysis, at least 105 current and former officers and members of U.S. Sangh affiliates, and their families, have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Gabbard’s campaigns since 2011.”

Gabbard does not address this data, and misses Shankar’s broader point that “Her progressive domestic politics are at odds with her support for authoritarians abroad, including Modi, Sisi, and Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. As right-wing nationalism rises across the globe, it is beginning to be recognized as an existential threat to a world order rooted in liberal democratic values, and Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran, is now being pushed to choose sides.”

Rather than discuss these points in her op-ed, Gabbard waxed further about religious liberty, including this urgent state-

HAWAI‘I HOTEL REVENUE CLIMBS DESPITE TURBULENT YEAR, DO WE GET A CUT? Two major storms, a historic hotel-worker strike, floods, and active lava flows – through all that happened in Hawai‘i’s tempestuous 2018, one thing held fast: Hotels thrived.

According to a hotel performance report released Friday by the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, annual revenue for Hawai‘i’s hotels increased from 2017 to 2018 by 4.6 percent, to a total of $4.36 billion last year. Hotels in Maui County saw a total revenue gain of 8.2 percent, from $1.25 billion in 2017 to $1.35 billion in 2018.

Despite a slight (0.7-percent) decrease in Maui’s hotel room demand from 2017 to 2018, revenue rose due to increases in average daily hotel rates and revenue per available hotel room, the report stated. Among competitive “sun and sea destinations” examined by the report in 2018, Maui County ranked third in revenue per available room and average daily rate, behind the Maldives and French Polynesia. In spite of the slight decrease in hotel occupancy, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, and Maui ranked in the top three competitive sun and sea destinations when it came to occupancy percentage.

That is all to say what you already knew: Maui no ka ‘oi. We can be battered by storms and tempered by fire, and still come out on the top of worldwide tourist destination rankings.

COCONUT POLL: 39% - Yes

61% - No

Last week we talked about the Wailuku Civic Complex. We asked readers on Facebook and Mauitime.com if they support the Civic Complex as currently planned. 61% of you voted “No.” This week we ask: Do you think the county should raise the hotel real property tax?

Vote online at mauitime.com or facebook.com/mauitime Send comments to editor@mauitime.com

But while hotels continue to see revenue gains, the story looks different for locals.

Last year, it took hotel workers at Sheraton Maui, and other Kyo-ya-owned hotels across the state, 51 days on the picket line – on strike and without pay in the months leading into the holidays – before settling on a contract that ensured better pay and working conditions. Data compiled in December by the Hawai‘i Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism revealed that the median household income for the highest earning census tract on Maui has increased while the median household income in Maui’s lowest earning tract has decreased, deepening income inequality between areas. And the Realtors Association of Maui reported that the median price of a home on Maui in 2018 was $710,000.

These are signs of the all-too-familiar struggle for working locals, and given the toll the tourism industry has on our way of life – from crowded beaches and parks, to increased traffic, infrastructure pressure, and ecological stress – the question remains: Is the prosperous hotel industry paying its fair share?

In his State of the State Address, Governor David Ige said that he would ask the legislature to remove the cap on the transient accommodations tax and allocate a straight percentage of TAT funds collected to the counties. The TAT revenue would include “monies earmarked to maintain our state parks, trails, beaches and waters to the benefit of both residents and visitors,” he added.

That’s a start, and his bills, HB198 and SB1209 would help to inject more money into the county that could be used for the public’s benefit. Other proposals that are still alive in the State Legislature include HB1173 and its companion SB198, which would allow counties to further stick the bill to tourists with an additional surcharge tacked onto the TAT. At the county level, an oft-debated topic is the fact that Maui County has the lowest hotel and resort real property tax rate of any county in Hawai‘i. Real property tax revenue represents the most significant form of income for the county, and raising the tax rate on the growing hotel industry could be an effective way to offset the cost of services, affordable housing, and environmental protection – while placing more responsibility on the corporations that commodify Hawai‘i.

Many politicians campaigned last year proclaiming the need for environmental protection, affordable housing, social services, and providing opportunities for the youth – and yes, these things cost money. With Maui’s fiscal year 2020 budget sessions just months away, time will tell if the council puts its (our) money where their mouth is. And if anyone says cash is the problem, I have a clue where they can find it. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

“Our goal is to learn from their very seasoned team of artists and collaborators and incorporate any challenges and successes into the forthcoming implementation of Small Town, Big Art,” Wade said.

A call-to-artists for the Small Town, Big Art pilot program will be distributed online this month, with its first round of artists selected in February. The selected artist(s) will be commissioned to present an innovative work of public art that aligns with ‘olelo no’eau (wise sayings) preselected by Hale Ho‘ike‘ike at the Bailey House/Maui Historical Society and addresses the town of Wailuku’s distinctive sense of place, history, and culture.

Maui’s Great Whale Count by Pacific Whale Foundation was coordinated to commence on the same day as the 2019 Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Count on Jan. 26. This is the first year that both counts are coordinated on the same days, ensuring the data from all main islands is collected simultaneously. It is also the first year that Pacific Whale Foundation is expanding their Great Whale Count on Maui from one month to three.

The annual Great Whale Count brings volunteers together to count whales from shore as part of a long-term survey of humpback whales in Hawai‘i, with 12 survey sites on the shoreline of Maui. This event provides a snapshot of trends in relative abundance of whales, and is one of the world’s longest-running citizenscientist projects. Both counts will take place three times during peak whale season: the last Saturdays in January, February, and March of 2019.

KIHEI CHARTER GENERATING POWER TO LIGHT UP THE PATH TO LEARNING Kihei Charter School is installing solar panels which are expected to generate 90 percent of peak power needs for the school.

The panels are part of a total of 1,250 panels that are part of a system also installed over the parking lot and on the flat roof of the school building. The system is expected to be operational by the end of February.

World-renowned artists from Hawai‘i and around the globe are painting several murals over the course of 10 days at four sites within the Wailuku Redevelopment Area and locations throughout Central Maui, beginning Jan. 28. The murals are part of a public art program through PangeaSeed Foundation, an international nonprofit that has created 300 murals in 14 countries with a roster of more than 250 professional artists.

PangeaSeed Foundation travels the world creating large-scale public murals and installations through the “Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans” program to promote the importance of long-term sustainability of natural resources. Discussions between the foundation and County of Maui began over the summer 2018 as the county presented its Small Town, Big Art pilot program for grant consideration by the National Endowment for the Arts; Small Town, Big Art – which launches later this year – aims to position the arts as a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization in Wailuku.

“Wailuku is a place imbued with rich history,” said Tre Packard, founder and executive director of PangeaSeed Foundation. “With Maui being home to such a unique marine environment deserving of protection, we look forward to enriching Wailuku’s urban landscape by further beautifying the town and creating a real sense of pride and community ownership.”

Maui-born artist Matt Agcolicol is coordinating the mural project, which involves approximately 20 artists, many of whom are from Hawai‘i. At least four artists from Maui are participating in the mural project: Noble Richardson, Amanda Joy Bowers, Kirk Kurokawa, and Elmer Bio Jr. “We were lucky to cross paths with Matt and the Sea Walls team during the research phase of our new Wailuku Town pilot public art program, Small Town, Big Art,” said Project Coordinator Kelly

McHugh. “In welcoming their artists to Maui, we encouraged them to work with Wailuku communities to focus their stories on our local issues.”

The mural project provides a unique opportunity for local artists to interact and learn from internationally acclaimed painters, while providing their own teachings gained in Hawai‘i, according to organizers.

Maui artists have supported the collaboration and look forward to painting Wailuku and Central Maui.

“I’m born and raised in Wailuku,” Richardson said. “The moment you drive past the wall we are painting on, it opens up to a small town called Happy Valley that is wedged into the Wailuku Valley with a river that descends from the second wettest place in the world and flows through the center of the town. That already seems geographically unique to the world. It is unique to me because it is where all my early imprinted memories originate from. This valley is where my artistic interests were born, it is where lifetime family members were made, and it is still the place I come to when my mind needs clarity. It is unique to me, because this is where my sister and I took root, and this is where our children’s roots are taking its place.”

Maui Redevelopment Agency, the Office of Economic Development, Pacific Whale Foundation and other organizations have partnered to fund the project. OED Director Kay Fukumoto said the reason her office helped fund the program was to examine the ways in which artists and communities can come together to bring awareness about environmental protection.

“From Mauna Kahalawai, to Main Street to Rivermouth, our actions impact the native ecosystems and watersheds,” Fukumoto said.

Erin Wade, Maui Redevelopment Program planner and director of Small Town, Big Art, lauded PangeaSeed’s outstanding work through its public art program, which brings messages of conservation

data from the shores of O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i and Maui islands during the first event of this year’s count. Combined, volunteers collected data from 51 sites across all the main islands. On Maui, the Great Whale Count volunteers collected data from 12 sites during timed intervals between 8:30am and 11:50am. A total of 359 whales were seen throughout the day, with 72 whales counted during the 8:30am to 8:45am time period, the most of any time period throughout the day’s count.

News Of The Weird FIRST-WORLD SOLUTION When Victoria Amith, 18, headed to college last fall, she couldn’t take along her beloved cats, Tina and Louise. And her dad, Troy Good, 43, couldn’t keep them at his new apartment in San Jose, California. So rather than abandon them, Good did what any doting daddy would do: He rented them an apartment of their own.

Tina and Louise now live the good life in a 400-square-foot studio apartment behind the Willow Glen home of David Callisch, who told The San Jose Mercury News: “They’re very quiet, obviously. The only problem is they stink up the place.” Good pays $1,500 a month rent, and Callisch stops in every day to feed and play with the kitties. Sounds puuuurrrr-fect.

On Jan. 1, Curtis Brooner filed a lawsuit claiming a Burger King in Wood Village, Oregon, reneged on its promise following a traumatic incident on Dec. 15. KATU-TV reports Brooner was having lunch at the fastfood joint that day when he became locked in the restroom. Employees provided him with a flyswatter to use to wrench the door open, but Brooner cut his hand on it, and the lawsuit says employees laughed at Brooner from the other side of the door. It wasn’t until an hour later, when a locksmith arrived, that he was set free. “To make things right,” said Brooner’s attorney, Michael Fuller, “the Burger King manager offered (Brooner) free food for the rest of his life” at that restaurant – and followed through for a few weeks. But eventually the regional manager stepped in and ended it. Brooner’s suit seeks damages of $9,026.16 – the price of one burger meal per week for the next 22 years. “There are funny elements of the case,” Fuller told KATU, “but there is nothing funny about being locked in a dank bathroom for an hour.”

GREAT ART! Namibian artist Max Siedentopf, 27, has placed an installation in the ancient Namib Desert, consisting of six speakers attached to an MP3 player projecting the song “Africa” by Toto – over and over and over, for all eternity. The song, released in 1982, has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity, and was one of Spotify’s “Top Throwback Songs” in 2018. Siedentopf told the BBC that solar batteries will keep the song playing forever: “I wanted to pay the song the ultimate homage and physically exhibit ‘Africa’ in Africa... but I’m sure the harsh environment of the desert will devour the installation eventually.”

‘I’VE SEEN WORSE’ Mmmm, breakfast! Around 7am on Jan. 6, at a McDonald’s in San Francisco, a man carried a dead raccoon into the restaurant and lay it on a table, then sat down with it.

Restaurant patron Chris Brooks captured the spectacle on Facebook Live, recording as the man stood from his seat and walked around

the restaurant, talking with people. Another man, wearing gloves, then picked the raccoon up by its tail and took it outside to a garbage can, trailing blood on the floor.

Fox News reported San Francisco police responded to the restaurant and released the unidentified raccoon owner after speaking with him. McDonald’s closed the store immediately and reopened two hours later after sanitizing the dining room. One patron wrote on Twitter: “I’ve seen worse than a dead raccoon at that same McDonald’s.”

LOVE GONE WRONG It was love at first... arrest, for 27-yearold Ashley Keister of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, when she was apprehended by a West Wyoming, Pennsylvania, police officer last year. Ever since, Police Chief Curtis Nocera told the Associated Press, Keister had been harassing the officer with sexual messages on social media and would call 911 just to talk with him. On Jan. 7, police said, Keister took her infatuation a step further, using a large cigarette butt receptacle to break through the door of the West Wyoming police station around 1am, where she rummaged through filing cabinets. Keister was caught on surveillance video and was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, burglary, and vandalism.

CRIME REPORT Isaias Garcia, 30, of Garland, Texas, pleaded guilty in a Bridgeport, Connecticut, courtroom on Jan. 10 to reduced charges stemming from a bizarre kidnapping scheme last April. Garcia had abducted a 21-year-old Fairfield man and was demanding $800 in ransom, the man’s aunt and father reported to police on April 6. Police told the aunt to request a photo to guarantee the young man was still alive, and when the photo arrived by text, ctpost.com reported, it showed the victim lying facedown in a bathtub with a 3-foot-long alligator on top of him, mouth open. In a subsequent phone call, the victim told his aunt: “Titi, man they got this alligator on me and they saying that if no money is given they are gonna have him chewing on me.” Police and the FBI were able to trace the phone calls to a hotel room, where Garcia was apprehended. He faces a year in prison.

BRIGHT IDEA In Williamson County, Texas, Sheriff Robert Chody has employed a new cadre of deputies to help deter speeding. Interestingly, they all look alike. The cardboard cutouts, which Chody has placed along roads where speeding is common, depict one of the department’s real-life deputies pointing a radar device at the roadway. “It’s a creative way to solve the problem without really working the problem,” he told KTCB-TV. “Slow down because you never know if it’s the real deal or not,” he warned. The sheriff said he tested the idea in school zones and, “We didn’t get one speeder.” ■

o the fella at the Keali‘i Reichel show at The Shops: You stood in front of a family of people and then blocked a lady in a cast. You yelled in my ear and refused to stop when I asked. Then you had the nerve to tell me you “live pono.” You are an inconsiderate lout (look it up) and need to know you are not the only one in the world who matters.

A Look at Whole-listic Health on Maui PHOTO COURTESY JODY MOUNTAIN

Lineage of Light is based on Maui’s North Shore. Mountain offers a variety of lomi lomi offerings including private sessions, workshops, retreats, and trainings.

Mountain says “the people who seem to benefit most from private sessions of ancient lomi lomi are those on a spiritual path.

Some may be in search of healing, clarity, restoration, or integration. They can inspire a sense of clarity, release, inspiration, wonder, possibility, resolution of the past and wholeness of being.”

In addition to lomi lomi, Mountain also offers a variety of massage to her clients: Polynesian backwalking, myofascial release, deep tissue, Thai massage, craniosacral, sports massage, and neuromuscular therapies.

We made it to 2019 so it’s time for a collective pat on the back. A lot of us start the year with resolutions to keep up the mental, physical, and spiritual energy we need to thrive. No matter where we are in this journey there is a network of people on the island with the know-how, faculty, and strength to keep us going. Our annual Health and Wellness issue shines the light on those practitioners and practices helping us spring forward in the new year.

These Maui professionals are all part of a long game perspective to well-being.

Dr. Eva L. Ross Maui Healing Center At Maui Healing Center in Kula, Dr. Eva Ross performs acupuncture, drug-free herbal therapies, metabolic and nutritional testing, and Chinese medicine in her family practice.

Her assistance with orthopedic issues to manage acute and chronic pain is well regarded.

“I am a strong advocate of patient education in order to cultivate excellent and sustainable health,” says Ross. “In my 15 years of working with patients I have learned that the key to holistic health is a fairly simple formula. We normally don’t see the effects until the body moves from an anabolic state of youth to the catabolic state which begins after the age of 25. As adults living in the post-industrial era of the 21st century, we must make a concerted effort to revitalize the body in order to outpace the effects of cellular breakdown brought on by technology, a sedentary daily existence, and lack of vital nutrients in our food source.”

Ross’ knowledge of both Eastern and Western medicine ensures integrative care for her clients. She received her Bachelor’s of Science in Botany at Humboldt State University, then graduated from Emperor’s College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Santa Monica, with a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

“I use the art of pulse diagnosis, the cornerstone of Chinese medicine, to diagnose the function of the body at all levels; the

12 JANUARY 31, 2019

Jessica Quinn function of the digestive system, immune system, cardiovascular system,” explains Ross.

“That is the starting point for every visit.

More often than not, I see patients who are depleted and running on empty but push through each day. Chinese medicine evolved through thousands of years to fight common ailments and disease but also optimize longevity. The emperors of China strived to live long, productive years with optimal vitality.

Chinese medicine focused on this goal as well as the conditions that affected the less affluent members of Chinese society. This produced a medicine that can broadly treat all aspects of health comprehensively and holistically.”

Maui Healing Center is located in Kula at 4230 Lower Kula Rd. For more information, call (808) 878-2059 or visit Mauihealingcenter.com

Jody Mountain Lineage of Light Jody Mountain has over 25 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist and practitioner of a multitude of healing modalities including ancient lomi lomi, therapeutic lomi lomi, and core and cellular healing. Mountain studied ancient lomi lomi with Kahu Abraham Kawa‘i Aua‘ia Maka‘i‘ole Uliama. Through her study and experience as a lomi lomi nui practitioner, she incorporates a modern form of ancient Hawaiian ho‘oponopono.

“My training and experience have brought me to the understanding that body, mind, spirit, emotions, memory, energy, hopes, and dreams all are circulating as one system, in intimate relationship with each other,” says Mountain. “We cannot affect one aspect without affecting all the others. At the core of this deeply interconnected whole, is the mystery that animates all of life – the grass, trees, stars, and oceans. This consciousness is always communicating, responding perfectly to the conditions it is given, in order to maintain balance, health, and well-being. Our job in holistic health is to open pathways of listening and responding to the mystery of wholeness that exists in every cell.”

Be Nutritious Ayurvedic science follows the 5000-yearold traditions originating in India designed to balance the body through diet and lifestyle according to your dosha. Quinn has been on the forefront of ayurveda on Maui with her business Be Nutritious.

“First, we must become aware that the elements in nature like air, fire, earth, water, and ether, exist within our bodies in unique individual proportions,” says Quinn. “This is why we all look and act so differently at times. Secondly, we must learn how to balance these elements within our bodies in perfect harmony with nature. By doing this, we will achieve vibrant health.”

Quinn has an Ayurvedic Kitchen Studies certification from Samata Retreat Center in India, an Ayurvedic Health Counselor certification from California College of Ayurveda, and an Ayurveda Correspondence Program certification from The Ayurvedic Institute. Her services include ayurvedic nutritional consultations, seasonal cleanse programs, Shirodhara, ayurvedic workshops, cooking classes, and catering and chef services. She also offers custom spice and herbal tea blends.

“I wholeheartedly believe that when making a shift in lifestyle towards a more balanced and empowered state of being, work with a practitioner you fully trust. Good health is related almost directly and proportionally to proper lifestyle and state of mind.

Hence, what we eat and breathe, how we move and speak, and what we feel and think must be observed and understood.”

Dr. Emeke Okwuje RevitalizeMaui RevitalizeMaui opened just two years ago and has quickly established itself as a cutting-edge medical day spa with Dr. Emeke Okwuje at the helm. A graduate from the University of Pritzker School of Medicine

in 1997, Okwuje completed three years of post-graduate surgical training and a fouryear residency in anesthesia. He specialized in pain procedure and regional nerve blocks, and conducted clinical research in plastic and reconstructive surgery focusing on wound healing and skin regeneration.

“We focus on listening to our patients first, and combine this with diagnostic testing to see the full picture before designing any treatment plan,” says Okwuje. “All of our treatments are custom-tailored to ensure that the entire experience is highly personalized. After advanced testing and analysis, we design treatment plans for our patients that include lifestyle and diet changes, hormone replacement, supplementation, and nutrient therapies to treat deficiencies, imbalances, and their symptoms, as well as address other factors affecting the patient’s longevity.”

RevitalizeMaui offers a wide range of services that lead towards improving health, including a series of detox and energyboosting IV-vitamin treatments, injectable neuro-modulators, dermal fillers, medical aesthetics, PRP therapies, and hormone replacement (male and female) protocols to improve energy, vitality, youth, and more.

“Know that changing your lifestyle is a process, which may present opportunities to conquer unique challenges,” says Okwuje. “Set clear goals in all areas of your life and find knowledgeable practitioners to assist and guide you. No matter what your lifestyle goals may be, certain elements are a must to achieve optimal health, longevity, and happiness: sufficient sleep, proper nutrients, strong social support, and exercise.”

Dr. Nat Erlich Ola Ha Holistic Health Clinic Dr. Nathan Erlich started practicing naturopathic medicine on Maui in 1988.

He founded the Ola Ha Holistic Health Clinic on Maui a year later and began his emphasis on regenerative medicine.

“The focus of my practice is in natural physical medicine concentrating in regenerative medicine,” says Erlich. “Naturopathic physicians are trained in natural healing modalities with an emphasis on nutrition and lifestyle. In general I believe that the majority of the food we Americans eat should not even be consumed by humans. As a result our bodies try to find a way in which to reestablish an altered homeostasis that results from foods that are exceedingly high in sugar, salt, and fats.”

Erlich graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon where he obtained his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine. He also has a Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology from Albright College, and a myriad of work experience. Dr. Nat provides his clients with a host of naturopathic services and modalities: prolotherapy, autologous adipose cell therapy, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, platelet rich plasma

therapy, perineural injection therapy, nerve hydrodissection, and MSK ultrasound.

“We naturopathic physicians believe that the body heals itself and our role in this as physicians is to identify the obstacles to this process and work with the body to either remove those obstacles or stimulate the body to heal itself more effectively,” says Erlich. “As the focus of my practice is mostly in regenerative medicine and orthopedic, musculoskeletal issues, I harness the power of regenerative biologic agents such as platelets and use injection techniques coupled with real-time ultrasound imaging to assist the body in overcoming injuries and degenerative problems. It is a way of using modern technology to maximize and focus the healing power of nature.”

Sara and Alan Schroepfer are the founders and together they offer a variety of wellness services to fit all client needs.

“A huge reason for creating 808 Wellness for my husband and I was to offer a refuge and holistic shelter stemming from what we learned on our own healing journeys,” says Sara. “We have traveled the world learning different healing traditions and studied at the feet of countless masters. Our focus is to create a health and wellness destination for seekers so that they can find multiple answers and modalities under one roof.

Claudie Imperato Body Therapeutics Body Therapeutics is a massage therapy clinic serving the North Shore from Pa‘ia, founded

by Claudie Imperato who has been in the industry since 1991. She has cultivated her team of 12 highly experienced therapists so clients get the best possible custom experience.

“Because we have a large team we have a lot of varied experiences and philosophies,” says Imperato. “Our primary one is to help people maintain or exceed whatever physical and mental goals they may have. Over time, strain and injury can defeat our health, strength, and wellness. This can deeply affect mental wellbeing. Through custom bodywork, we strive to help people stay healthy and injury-free but most importantly learn to optimize their physical and mental well-being.”

Body Therapeutics has a wide variety of therapies offered: backwalk, sports massage, deep tissue, trigger point, neuromuscular massage, lomi lomi, reiki, polarity, gus-sha Zen shiatsu, four-handed massage, foot

scrubs, hot oil hair treatments, Taiwanese style foot reflexology, Swedish massage, ashiatsu, structural integration, and hot stone.

“My personal advice to an individual wanting to change their lifestyle toward a more holistic approach would be to lay the groundwork in before making any physical changes,” says Imperato. “I believe it’s vital to know why you’re wanting to change. It’s easy to figure out how. Spend a week or two with a clear start date in mind and invite in some soul searching questions, goals, and reasons.

Be gentle and loving with yourself. Change is hard until one day it isn’t! Also, I feel it’s vital to get into the habit of moving one step closer to your goals and vision each and every day.

Some days it’s a huge leap and other days it’s making your bed and being kind to another.

Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Keep working for it!”

The process of Rolfing is part massage and part breaking down chronic patterns in the muscle that do not serve you. Carter Evans takes his practice to the next level at Rolf Method Maui, where clients experience “structural integration” to balance body with gravity.

“The technique itself involves a cycle of deep manual intervention in the elastic soft tissue structure of the body also known as myofascia. It deals with the physical, but in practice considerations of the physical are inseparable from the psychological,” explains Evans. “Structural integration is powerful; the resultant changes are far-reaching because we do not aim for change alone, we wish to induce change towards balance.”

Rolf Method Maui is a private practice situated in the heart of Lahaina Town. Evans’ professional education began during his studies at the University of Montana, and continued with massage therapy instruction at the Maui School of Therapeutic Massage in Makawao. Due to his own injuries, and his desire to learn more about alternative bodywork techniques, Carter continued his training by learning and practicing Rolfing at the Guild For Structural Integration.

“If one does not address the “Whole” – physical, psychological, spiritual aspects of oneself – when dealing with acute or chronic imbalance of symptoms, one cannot truly cure the problems and issues,” says Evans. “The best advice I can give someone is to listen to

their intuition and to trust the inner wisdom we come into this body with, regarding all aspects of life. To take both science and holistic insights and meet them in the middle.”

It may look like a sports massage technique at first, but it’s more than that. A Rolfing practitioner will look at how a client’s body has compensated to “chronic patterning.” Sessions with a Rolfing practitioner include identifying unique physical compositions, and then stacking a set of visits based on structural integration techniques.

Rolf Method Maui is located in Lahaina at 505 Front St., Suite 203. For more information, call (808) 201-1979 or visit Rolfmethodmaui.com

planetary transformation for her clients.

Alan is a practitioner in massage, energy and bodywork, craniosacral therapy, acupuncture and chinese medicine. Alan graduated from the Maui Academy of Healing Arts School of Massage, and has a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. By integrating acupuncture, massage, counseling, and Chinese herbs, Alan creates customized plans to bring his clients back to a state of optimum health.

“Start small, think big!” says Sara. “Change can be challenging. If we set the bar too high too fast, it may lead to a downward spiral if we don’t see immediate results. Holistic care is not a quick fix, although it can be at times!

Typically, there is a time commitment and a mental one to make in order to see overall progress if someone has a serious condition.

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard, “I wish I had found you guys sooner!” So many people rely solely on allopathic care and only come to us when they are desperate. They then realize if they had been doing preventative care before their injury or crisis, than they would not be in such a state.”

Four New Ways to Worship Your Body

M

Maui is a vortex for yoga, water sports, and other body-first training movements.

With our year-round tropical weather, people can take advantage of the outdoors for a healthy lifestyle. Here are four women on the island who are offering Maui their own slice of fitness and health.

Amy Lohr

Soulasana Yoga Amy Lohr had always wanted to open a yoga studio of her own, having practiced and taught for more than 10 years. She jumped at the chance to open her dream spot at Maui Mall.

“When I turned 40 last April I had an epiphany that I wanted my life to have real meaning and purpose and show my children to always follow their hearts and live life with purpose and altruism,” says Lohr. “So after a lot of hard work and soul searching Soulasana was opened. Everyone is welcome and our intention is to not only nurture the physical aspect of our asana practice, but to go deeper and create expansion and lightness in our soul: Soulasana.”

Soulasana is an interesting studio that has a worldly feel, and offers a lot of unique classes and therapies not found anywhere else. Lohr offers a class created by a Brazilian chiropractor named Kaiut, and numerous styles of yoga at all levels.

“We have a community keiki class for parents and children on Fridays, and a babywearing class every Friday as well,” Lohr says.

“My children are two and three-and-a-half, and family-friendly yoga is important me.

An in-house psychic comes every Monday and Wednesday for Akashic Record and psychic healing readings from 12-3pm for $1 a minute. We have a very strong workshop program offering sacred ceremonies such as full moon ceremonies, special masterclasses on Akashic Record, tarot card reading, etc.

The last Sunday of every month we offer a yoga and West African dance class with live drumming, and we continually offer sound bath ceremonies and reiki trainings. Upcoming workshops include a five-week Kundalini course by Ruby Wong, a three-week course on how to read and create natal charts using astrology, and weekend workshops on magic of crystals and crystal grids.”

Soulasana is located at Maui Mall. They have an intro special of 30 days for $30, or various monthly and drop in passes. See their schedule at Soulasanayoga.com

Alyssa Davis Fit 4 Maui Alyssa Davis was thrilled to be surrounded by world class water athletes, holistic healers, and health food stores when she moved to Maui’s North Shore, and decided to make that her professional focus after teaching scuba diving in St. Thomas and on the West Side more than 30 years ago. She has her licenses in stand-up paddling instruction, massage

therapy, and health fitness. She developed her own superfood powders for daily health, and her business as a wellness and lifestyle coach along with her online superfood store keeps her busy with clients of all ages that come from all over the world.

“I created Lifeguard Greens and Lifeguard Reds after a long and frustrating search for the perfect superfood powders to add to my own daily regimen,” says Davis. “There’s a supplement company in San Diego that is familyowned and operated. I worked with them in years past and when I noticed the green drink I was repping was started to go downhill, I approached them to help me formulate my idea of the perfect superfood powder. I wanted mega-powerful antioxidants, super green vegetables, pre- and probiotics, liver cleansers, blood sugar balancers, fiber and digestion help, anti-inflammatories, and immune boosters – and of course 100 percent organic, vegan, non-GMO, and gluten free. Sounds like a lot to ask but they did it! I know I feel the difference when I drink it.”

Her superfood powders come in two versions, Lifeguard Reds and Lifeguard Greens.

They each have different superfoods contained within, but both are meant to just simply mix with water or almond milk as a drink.

“There is so much scientific evidence to support the importance of eating seven to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables every single day,” says Davis. “Nearly all modern diseases of aging are diet and lifestyle related. When people change their diet to plant-based and mostly vegan, their health improves. Many Americans are not going to go that route, so Lifeguard Greens fills the gap between eating the standard American diet, and eating a nutrient-dense plantbased diet. Many green drinks taste terrible and that turns people off right away. Lifeguard Greens was created with that criteria in mind. We call it compliance: if it doesn’t taste good, they are not going to stick with it. I created Lifeguard Reds for those who can’t get past the green color, like kids, or some people like myself, who want even MORE antioxidant power in their bodies.”

With Fit 4 Maui, the key to helping clients is keeping it simple, focusing on self-care, and creating a plan that her clients can be excited about that includes the mental to the physical.

“Many people want to tell me their age and make that an excuse for their poor health,” says Davis. “While it’s great to start taking care of yourself younger, it’s never too late. I think 50 is a real turn around point for a lot of people because they start losing friends to cancer, diabetes, and other modern diseases of aging, and it scares them. A lot of this self-sabotaging stuff is in the mind so it’s important to stop with those thoughts and understand, if you take good care of your body with movement and nutrient dense superfoods, you need not age very quickly physically or mentally. I am nearly 50-years-old and a grandma, and most people think I’m in my 30s. That’s not magic. That’s a clean and active lifestyle with self-care at the center and the right powerful superfood supplements. I live and breath it. I

believe in it. It works.”

Kalimaya Eva Herrera Self Love Self Defense Kalimaya Eva Herrera was born in the Philippines and immigrated to California then to Maui. Her path to health and fitness was unconventional, working in the banking industry and as a welder, and raising two sons who went into the military. Herrera found her passion when she began taking classes in martial arts earning her first black belt in 1989.

“My martial arts training and my strong discipline, enthusiasm, and motivation to take care of my body have won me dozens of awards and trophies, and a world championship,” says Herrera. “I am a survivor of domestic violence, bullying, and other sexual attacks. I am grateful of my commitment to martial arts training. My bottom line passion is helping and teaching keiki to build self-confidence, self-defense, and positive assertiveness – empowering girls and women with attitude, behavior, and character (ABC) foundation.”

Herrera teaches self defense, ribbon dance, creative martial arts, family martial arts, and personal fitness. Her upcoming Self Love Self Defense course teaches practical self defense and tactics using the natural weapons of your body to target areas of your attacker, plus how to use a stick weapon for protection, disarming and releasing locks, and various offense and defense grappling moves.

“For turning 71 this year, I’m more flexible, stronger, motivated, and balanced in body and mind. I workout daily and read empowering books, and practice deep breathing. Spirit, faith, gratitude, and enthusiasm are my first thoughts in the morning.

It takes meditation, stretching, 35-50 minutes of committed cardio daily, sauna, plenty of water, dance, mindfulness, chi balance, and lots of deep breaths. My formula is SSCCPP: sauna, stretch, cardio, computer, pray, and play” Herrera’s next Self Love Self Defense class will be offered March 9 at the Wailea Healing Center. Her Keiki Kix class is offered on Fridays at 4pm.

Megan Nolan Vitality Wellness Megan Nolan has been a personal trainer and yoga instructor for more than 14 years.

She has worked with hundreds of clients and students with a common issue: sitting at a dreaded desk for hours on end. Nolan noticed this created a host of issues like chronic aches and pains. She also noticed the positive effects yoga practice can have on reversing these issues. She put two and two together began offering onsite yoga workshops and trainings called Workplace Wellness, where she travels to enterprise environments to teach people health strategies right in their offices.

“The great thing about yoga is that there are so many stretches and techniques. I can create sessions to meet all of the needs, goals, and requests of the wide range of teams that I work with,” says Nolan.”Working with a variety of clients such as Maui Electric Company, Sae Design, Maui County Federal Credit Union, Wailea Golf Club, and Ceramic Tile means that we can explore so many of these tools together. The best part of this work is that by taking yoga out of the studio and into the community, so many more people are experiencing yoga that perhaps wouldn’t have.

We all spend so much time at work, often seated and using computers, that it has become absolutely essential that we learn how to care for ourselves and manage the impact that our work can have on our bodies and minds.”

She focuses on what the job duties are then optimizes exercises that will help people keep their bodies in balance by stretching out areas of tension and strengthening muscles that may be weakening from lack of use. Her success with her workplace sessions led to her next project, an online class series called “Yoga at My Desk.”

“I created this online series so that people could take yoga breaks whenever it works best for their schedule,” says Nolan. “With our busy lifestyles, it can be hard for people to get time for exercise before or after work, and getting away from the office midday can be challenging for people. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to be doing yoga more often, so the sessions are only 10 minutes long and can be done in work clothes.

Each lesson uses different stretches, exercises, and techniques to work on one theme or area of the body such as neck and shoulder release, building core strength, lowering your stress level, and boosting your energy.”

The class is available online through her site Vitality Wellness, and once you have signed up for it you have access for life. Nolan offers the course for $95 and it includes two hours of yoga, three bonus videos, and ongoing live support for the series in her Facebook group. It is accessible via laptop, tablet, and mobile devices.

“In our day-to-day lives we are constantly engaging with the world around us: our work, our phone, our friends, and social media,” says Nolan. “However in yoga we use the breath to focus our mind and draw it inwards. In this way yoga teaches us how to pay attention to ourselves and to learn more about what makes us who we are as well as our unique habits and patterns. As we develop this self awareness on all levels: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual, we become attuned to what we need to do to feel our best inside and out. I believe that this makes yoga a practice of self-care, selfacceptance, and ultimately self-love.”

Ho‘ola Pu‘uwai Maui’s First Ornish Program ance,” explains Latorre. “Then they will go through a screening process with our team prior to starting the program to ensure they meet criteria and are motivated to make serious changes. Each cohort is a group of eight to 15 people that will experience the nine-week program together. They meet at our facility for four hours, twice a week. A total of 72 experiential on-site hours must be met. Each one of the four hours are dedicated to the components of the program, so one hour of nutrition, stress management, fitness, and group support. They also must do a required number of hours of the components at home and track their time, nutrition and diet, etc. We all have access to an online portal to oversee the data is being put in by participant every week, and their overall adherence.”

There are a few qualifications for the program depending on family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other chronic health issues like depression, obesity, diabetes, or other risk factors.

Medicaid and Quest will cover participants fully, and Medicare and other providers have a partial coverage. HNKOP also has a sliding scale fee some can apply for.

“This program has been proven to undo heart disease by dealing with the root causes and not just its effects,” notes Latorre. “The combined effect of all four lifestyle elements makes the transformative difference. Participants see improved health and well-being rather quickly. Disease and conditions regress; symptoms and pain disappear. We anticipate it to be challenging for most people to make the switch to a plant-based diet, plus spend a bit more time and money in planning meals and integrating the diet into their everyday routine.

What if I told you that you could correct your heart disease in 72 hours? It sounds like a wild claim but the folks at Maui’s first Ornish program take that number to heart. Dr. Dean Ornish, the namesake of the lifestyle medicine program, developed the program after 37 years of research. The research of his nonprofit Preventative Medicine Research Institute has shown that his program of lifestyle changes can reverse chronic diseases and turn on health-promoting genes.

“On August 12, 2010, after 16 years of review, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services began providing Medicare coverage for my intensive lifestyle program for reversing heart disease under a new benefit category, ‘intensive cardiac rehabilitation,’” Ornish says in a June 2015 Scientific American article. “Many insurance companies are also providing coverage. My colleagues and I have been training and certifying teams of health care professionals at leading hospitals, clinics and health systems in this lifestyle program for reversing heart disease.”

Maui very own Ornish Program is at the Hui No Ke Ola Pono Health Center.

Their community-based family practice is one of five Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems created under the Native Hawaiian Health Care Act of 1988. Their mission is to improve the health of Native Hawaiians in an integrated manner with its clients learning how to become their own health advocates. The clinic focuses on the Native Hawaiian community however it will not turn anyone away. Michelle Latorre works at the clinic in their Ornish program called Ho‘ola Pu‘uwai meaning healing hearts.

“Participants are referred by doctor, and they need to meet certain medical criteria or number of risk factors to be covered

by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insur-

Group Support with Ornish

support can also be challenging at first.”

Yet the results of learning together with a group is one of the key components to the program.

“The success of the program also carries on after the nine weeks as most participants continue the Ornish lifestyle for the rest of their lives,” says Latorre. “The bonding within the cohort is also very strong, and an alumni group is formed after each cohort ‘graduates,’ so they all stay in touch maintaining an incredible support system and strong relationships.”

The idea behind lifestyle changes are to reprogram and reboot body systems, but the results are seen in the science.

“You can start making lifestyle changes immediately, whether it’s integrating healthier foods, or beginning a daily 10-minute meditation practice: baby steps,” says Latorre. “Of course the more

severe your disease or condition is, the more dramatic changes you should consider making. The research done from Ornish participants over the past 37 years shows that once participants notice their physical and emotional health improving, disease reversing, and even their relationships with others at home and work improving, they end up wanting to make even bigger changes and adhere to them.”

HNKOP also runs Simply Healthy Cafe at its campus in the Cameron Center. The cafe has affordable and healthy cuisine that falls in line with their values.

'The Favourite'? Not Quite The touted Oscar-contender doesn’t live up to the hype ★★★★★

Rated R / 92 Min.

I

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

t happens every year. Of the dozens of movies that open between November and January that are touted as “The Year’s Best, Oscar-Bound, and An Instant Classic,” there’s always one in the pack that doesn’t live up to its hype.

In fact, it’s usually a film I dislike so passionately, I wonder what on Earth my colleagues were raving about. Last year, it was Three Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri (seriously, have you seen it more than once? If so, why?). This year, its Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite.

During the 18th century, Queen Anne (played by Olivia Colman) ruled England during a time of war. According to the film, Queen Anne relied on her most trusted colleague, Lady Sarah (played by Rachel Weisz) who was constantly at her side and calling most of the shots. The sudden appearance of the desperate Abigail (played

by Emma Stone) shakes things up, as Abigail makes a power play for Queen Anne’s attention and challenges Lady Sarah’s authority for the Queen’s favor and approval.

Lanthimos has a distinct cinematic voice and, certainly by design, his films are unforgettable. His breakthrough was Dogtooth, about parents raising their children in an unorthodox, quite sadistic manner.

Then there was The Lobster, the fantasysatire that began with a novel premise than lumbered off into a pointless, cheerfully vile, art house self-parody. I kind of like The Killing of a Sacred Deer, his chilling and nearly impossible to describe Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman-led examination of the literal sacrifice a doctor must make to save/ destroy his family. Lanthimos allows for

But at least there’s an endless supply of visuals

discomforting humor, revolting imagery, and intellectual musings to drive the narratives of his work. He’s a striking filmmaker and deserves his ever-growing cult following, but allow me to be even more firm in my honesty: He’s talented but I’d rather be in line at the DMV for three hours than sit through any of his movies again.

Like Lars Von Triers when he’s trying too hard to shock, Lanthimos is an enthusiastic provocateur and his films, as fun as they are to discuss, are endurance testers. The Favourite boasts an impressive production but is too self-consciously grotesque and on-the-nose in its observations.

I loved Colman’s excellent, layered performance. Colman’s take on Queen Anne is intriguingly child-like and the character progresses in unexpected ways. Colman’s work is the best thing about the film overall. Weisz, on the other hand, is ser-

viceable at best and mostly one-note. I’ve liked some of Weisz’s work in the past but someone more dynamic should have been cast as the villainous Lady Sarah. Stone is good and holds her own. However, like Weisz, Stone doesn’t shine as brightly as she should. Although she’s a recent Oscarwinner (as is Weisz), Stone is still hit-andmiss with her film choices and the consistency of her work. Coleman alone powers the film and creates a lingering fascination.

Robbie Ryan’s cinematography offers fish-eyed lenses, brisk pans, and natural lighting but, despite how unusual Lanthimos’ approach to a period piece is, Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon did all of this far better. So did Stephen Frears’ Dangerous Liaisons, still unbeatable as a naughty and nasty costume drama on the ill-mannered behavior of spoiled power-grabbers.

The screenplay stumbles through excre-

ment-tainted mud (sometimes literally) for too long and feels endless. It’s all too obvious where this is going from the very beginning, and it’s all too happy to kill time by filling up yet another chamber pot. As a commentary on the wealthy abusing the poor, The Favourite is as obvious and familiar as its by-the-book revenge tale turns.

At least Merchant Ivory films had layered characters and lush visuals to distinguish their famous period pieces; all Lanthimos has is an endless supply of gross visuals and the rawness of the dialogue to distinguish it.

While this plays like an enthusiastic middle finger to refined works like The Young Victoria or Elizabeth, Lanthimos always finds ways to put-off and distance viewers every time interest grows.

Of all the highly touted, would-be Oscar contenders to come out this season, this one is my least favourite. ■

With Jai Dev & Simrit A Live Music Kundalini Yoga Experience Featuring Salif Bamakora February 13-16, 2019 Makawao Union Church Hall Jai Dev and Simrit return to Maui for their epic 5th Annual Live Music Kundalini Yoga Experience. The workshops are taught by Jai Dev with live music by the phenomenal Simrit experience, featuring Salif Bamakora.

At the base of the spine resides great power. At the top of the crown is profound awareness. Yet, it is in the center of the chest where the power of the human and the magic of the heavens unite.

At the nucleus of every being, and in the center of all creation is the force of supreme Love, of unbiased compassion. When this greatest of all powers is unlocked at the heart center, everything changes. In this special workshop, taught by Jai Dev and featuring the transporting live music of Simrit, we will open the lock of the heart center and activate the power of the Infinite within. You will exercise the body, move the life-force, elevate the spirit, and unlock the force of heroic compassion.

Horoscope

Sign Language AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Because you’re gifted with a keen sense of fairness, it especially hurts when you get shafted, particularly if it’s because of stupidity or shortsightedness. It’s likely to be very hard for you to forgive or forget this shit, even if there’s some effort made to make things right. Some people are petty, and unless you act grateful for the effort they made to correct their own screw-ups, they’re not likely to bother next time. It goes without saying that this would be a bad thing, since these people are likely to mess up again.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

This week you’re likely to wake up with sore muscles in unusual places. Whether that’s because you helped someone move, or experimented with a few new positions in bed, it’s tangible evidence that you’re willing to go beyond the routine. Use it as a reminder to push yourself even further. There’s a lot of room for expansion right now on all fronts, but it requires a bit of stretching and pushing on your part. Imagine if you could add a new room to your apartment just by shoving the walls back. Right now – metaphorically, at least – you can.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

When you discover someone’s been spraying bullshit at your face, you’re likely to react in one of two ways: explosive anger or a lust revenge. Either response would be a mistake right now. What you need to do is defuse the situation. Being pissy or vengeful would only seal the situation in cement. I don’t know how you can get the liar to start telling you the truth, but I do know that that it needs to be the top of this week’s agenda.

conceivably be put to brilliant constructive use, instead of piling up in some mental landfill of things you’ll try to never think about again. You could hire someone, I suppose, to sort through your physical trash for you, but that doesn’t quite work inside your head. In this case, I’m afraid, you’ll simply have to roll up your sleeves and get down to this distasteful task on your own.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Bedbugs are back. They’re infesting America, living in couch cushions, between sheets, and hitching rides to new homes on people’s pants cuffs. This is the kind of thing likely to fill some Virgos with panic, but I hope you can stay calm. Bedbugs are as hard to keep out of your life as unwanted ideas. You can certainly practice caution – not picking up discarded futons from the street, for example. But worrying won’t do you a whit of good when faced with invasion by physical or mental pests. May I suggest a well-exercised sense of humor instead? It’ll serve you better in either scenario.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Stop punishing yourself. You may claim you haven’t been, but that’s only because you’re not obvious about it. Hair shirts and self-flagellation are not your style. You’re more likely to torture yourself in subtle, only semi-conscious ways, ways you might not even notice until you’ve been practicing them so long they’ve become hard-to-break habits. How insidious!

Whether or not you ever deserved the chastisement you’re giving yourself, you’ve certainly “done your time” by now. You deserve a clean slate and a fresh start. Do what you have to do to give that to yourself – even if that means you have to call in outside help to identify and quell your devious means of self-torture.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

There’s a golden opportunity here that you’re missing, and it’s not because you’re not looking for it. It’s probably because you’re virtually incapable of seeing it. You’re essentially colorblind in this situation, and this message is written in red letters on a field of green. You need to have someone else point it out to you, which – because of the less than gracious way you’ve occasionally received unsolicited advice before – you’ll need to specifically ask for. Doing so could be very lucrative.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You could walk around the car you’re thinking of buying, kicking the tires and pretending you know what the hell you’re looking at. But that, my dear, would be quite stupid. People who do know what they’re doing can see through pretenders without trying. You need to recognize your own shortcomings and find some way to compensate for them – bring along your auto-obsessed buddy, for example.

Don’t bumble around blindly this week, feigning expertise. Figure out who can compensate for the holes in your knowledge, and ask for their aid.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You just couldn’t stay away could you? Even after you decided that you were done with so-and-so or suchand-such once and for all, you found yourself called back. It’s even more embarrassing because of your dramatic declaration that you were through with the situation forever – anyone who spots you now will judge you not only weak-willed, but a drama queen, besides.

What, though, are you going to do? This time, you may have to simply slink back into the situation you declared you were finished with and eat the sardonic comments about the stink you made when you left. Next time, though, you might remember that how you feel today isn’t always the way you’ll feel tomorrow, and wait before you tell everyone about the new status quo.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You have trouble with recycling, not because you hate the environment, but because dealing with petty details like sorting your trash is so not your style. This goes for emotional garbage as well as the real life stuff. Unfortunately, there’s a lot you need to get rid of that could

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

A house constructed of fieldstone and rough-hewn beams might not look as sturdy as one made of concrete and finished lumber, but it’s quite likely to be more than solid enough for your purposes, and have character, besides. Don’t be overly captivated by the new, the flashy, and the perfect. The rough edges are more interesting and have likely already withstood quite a bit of abuse. Where do you want to live, after all? In the standard prefab bullshit everyone else is occupying? Is that really your style? I can’t imagine you’d find it more comfortable, ultimately, than the unconventional, unique, imperfect, scrappy place off the beaten path. When it comes to choosing between the two this week, keep that in mind.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Don’t be lazy. Filleting that fish might be tedious, messy work, but it’s better to be slow and careful than to let someone choke on a fish bone because you couldn’t be bothered to do the job properly. You’re in a position to benefit many people (who won’t bother to thank you, I’m afraid) by doing your job correctly and well, or to screw over many more, by slacking off.

The people whose lives you inconvenience or derail, by the way, won’t have any problem calling you out on your sloppiness, even if they wouldn’t have bothered expressing their gratitude for a job well done. In other words, stay sharp. Being great may not net you appreciation, but it will certainly spare you grief.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You’re the zodiac’s most reasonable, cool-headed and rational people – except when you’re not. Very occasionally (usually in regards to love), you go off the deep end and become what can only be called obsessive. Surely you realize that your maniacal, stalker-like behavior will only terrify people, but sometimes it seems impossible to stop yourself, or you rationalize that it’s not as bad as it seems. I hope you recognize that there are times when your usual clearheaded perspective becomes way too skewed to be trusted, and you get someone you have faith in to give you the reality check you desperately need.
