While reviewing Alan Arakawa’s pre-election campaign promises, I was heartened to see that he supports exploration of alternative energy and the creation of a recycling facility on Maui. This makes me very hopeful.

Maui is in a unique position to create a model of environmental and economic sustainability. We don’t have to wait until we run out of fossil fuel before becoming energy self-sufficient. We can begin planning our future today.

I dream that we’ll use the abundant sun and wind to power our beautiful island as opposed to shipping 7 million barrels per year of nonrenewable foreign oil across the Pacific. In my dream, we’ll consume less, waste less and have more time to enjoy our lives.

I’m aware of the diverse group of people who share my dream. I see them backing away from a lifestyle fueled by nearly 60 barrels of oil per person each year. Many of us wish to wean Maui from dependency on the mainland. Others feel our current level of energy consumption is obscene when compared with the world average of only 9.5 barrels per person per year. Some are trying to recapture the simplicity of a bygone era.

All who dream of environmental sustainability look forward to Alan Arakawa’s plan with hope that it will help steer us away from dependency on fossil fuel and promote legislation to encourage the use of renewable energy.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

In a recent issue of Maui Time Weekly, there was one story that caught my eye. It seems that our beloved president has just signed a bill giving him the power to execute someone who has committed a crime without giving him/her a trial or jury.

Basically he is taking away our constitutional rights. I find this a little ridiculous.

President Bush is Mr. Pro-choice himself.

He campaigned against abortion during the election because he doesn’t feel a woman has the right to take the life of her unborn child. Well, now he is doing just that. The key term here is hypocrite. I’m not much for politics, especially coming from Hawaii where corrupt Democrats surround us. I just can’t help but be a little concerned about the man who is running our country.

It makes me a little upset. Here we are, being tormented by terrorists, and we have a two-faced president sitting in the White House. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before. There have been many messed up presidents in the past, but without them, who will run the country? We sure can pick them. President Bush needs to get off his thrown and take a look around him. He is letting his country down. This country has enough things to worry about. The last thing they need to worry about is how their president is running the country.

READ LABELS! Do not buy anything made with artificial colors or flavors. Human beings must eat only real food made with all real ingredients. Common Sense!

All artificial ingredients enter into the body with the real food, but it cannot be digested or eliminated. It is stored in the body and may need to be cut out in the future. Its all because of money. For instance artificial vanillin costs %5 for _ gallon. Pure vanilla costs $5 per ounce.

Pay attention to what you consume. Red coloring is cancer, and all artificial colors are bad too.

VOTE GREEN ON SATURDAY This Saturday, on January 4th, 2003, the voters of the 2nd United States Congressional District in Hawai’i will be going to the polls to fill the unexpired term of the late Patsy Mink in the United States House of Representatives.

This is a day in which Hawai’i voters have an opportunity to once again make history by electing the first member of the Green Party to the United States House of Representatives.

The state Democrat party is in disarray and who knows what they stand for anymore, except to stay in power. I urge all disgruntled Democrat voters, and members of the other major party and independents alike, to consider a viable alternative to the power brokers and to consider who will truly champion them and their needs; it is time for voters to take a second look at the Green party and my candidacy. Voters should break with the mindset of the two major parties and realize there is another Party which truly represents them and their needs - the Green Party. We need new legislators who will fight for clean money, public financing of elections as now exists in four states and the rights of average people, while being a champion by saving our environment from rampant over-development.

Among my main concerns are inspections, not war, on Iraq; free universal single-payer health care; strengthening social security, Medicaid and Medicare; increasing funding for prevention and treatment while ending the failed and corrupt "war on drugs"; quality education for all; lower taxes for workers and the middle class; protection of worker and union rights; mandating corporate accountability by new laws, better regulations and tougher penalties against corporate greed; economic support and assistance, including tax breaks and incentives, for small businesses; energy independence for Hawai`i; support for renewable energy sources; strengthening and enforcing environmental regulations, including restoring the Clean Air Act standards; protecting Hawai`i from rampant over-development; assistance for the maintenance, promotion, and support of agriculture; secure an acceptable Native Hawai’ian structure from the federal government while maintaining continued support for Hawai’ian cultural protection; continue and expand education and medical benefits for veterans; public financing of elections; promoting progressive voter initiatives, including same-day registration and instant runoff(ranked) voting(irv).

OPINIONS BY TRAVIS HENDERSON

DOOR TO DOOR IN BAGHDAD Holy shit, we now have a human clone living amongst us. Or more precisely, we now have a human clone living in an undisclosed country.

Supposedly, her name is Eve and she was created by a French man who calls himself Rael and who also says he is a direct descendant of aliens who created life on earth through genetic engineering.

He fronts a religious cult that supposedly financed the research and development of Eve. And get this; the mother from whose DNA the baby was cloned was an American. Which would make the baby an American.

If it’s true, things are starting to get just a little too freaky. I feel like I’m living a real-time version of novels I read as a kid.

Only back then, the stuff was called science fiction. Now it’s called…. Reality?

After someone cloned a sheep and named her Dolly, we all knew it was only a matter of time. But this is no sheep. This is a real human. Or is it?

The questions this raises are endless.

But the answers are going to be a long time coming. Even if she is confirmed as real, the true affects of her existence won’t be known for decades.

But once again, the question is; is she real? Does she feel pain like the rest of us?

Does she feel love? Hate? Fear? If she does feel these emotions, can the next batch be bred – or maybe I should say programmed – to feel more of one emotion or less of another?

The military would have a field day with an army of clone’s bred to feel no fear, experience no pain, but with a healthy dose of pure hatred thrown in for good measure.

President Reagan brought us Star Wars, maybe President Bush wants to keep in the tradition and bring us Attack of the Clones.

What if scientists can speed up the aging process so that infants can reach

maturity in weeks, or even days? Forget about attacking Baghdad right now. Saddam Hussein wants us to go door to door to maximize our casualty rate. We’ll just wait until scientists can breed with hyper-speed a few thousand pure American psychos. Then you can bet we’ll go door to door in Baghdad.

"Knock, knock" says Mr. American Soldier Clone.

"Who’s there?" says Mr. Soon to be Dead Iraqi Republican Guardsman.

"It’s just little ol’ me, Mr. American Soldier.

And you can bet your ass I ain’t here to sell Avon."

If this really does turn out like the science fiction books I used to read as a kid, we’ll soon find that Rael is really a cover name for a disgruntled scientist who fell out of the good graces of the American government. Better yet, he probably didn’t even fall out of good grace. The American government just knew they could never introduce this kind of thing to the American public from inside the U.S. So they went to an "undisclosed" location.

What better way to test America’s opinion?

If it does go wrong, they can just blame it on some wacky foreigner. And if it works out, they’ll just reveal the location of the baby.

I wonder where this "undisclosed location" might be, anyway. Can anyone say Area 51?

Hell, that would make sense. Rael calls himself a descendant of aliens and Area 51 is where the aliens landed in the first place, right?

Listen to me. I’m sounding like a conspiracy theorist. But regardless of whether Eve is real or not, a human clone is probably not too far off. And as humans, we take pride and comfort in our uniqueness and authenticity. Now that there is someone among us without the "proper credentials", the comfort and pride that comes from our faith in the inherent decency of our humanity will be compromised.

Ironically, it is those who already make us question our faith in the inherent decency of humanity that the first clone soldiers will seek.

But if you have ever questioned whom you can trust, just wait until a few more successful cloning operations. Then you really won’t know.

EH BRAH! Send anonymous thanks, confessions or accusations, 200 words or less, changing or deleting the names of the guilty and innocent to “Eh Brah!” c/o Maui Time Weekly, 658 Front Street, Ste. 126A–7278, Lahaina, HI 96761

I work in a popular upscale restaurant on the north shore. Last night this dude came in, and proceeded to be rude and demanding to one of our nicest waitresses. The pretty local woman he was with was not pleased by this boor’s behavior, so she proceeded to order off the menu with great abandon – then got up and left him there (with the food and the check!). I heard her tell him that his ego should be enough to keep him company! She actually got applause form nearby tables.

To you sister – you’ve got class – come in again sometime, and we will “buff you out.”

To you, rude dude – don’t come back anytime soon. The food might not be to your “liking.” Wait in hell.

Waitpersons are humans too

Maui Radiology Consultants (MRC) recently opened its MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) & Women’s Imaging Center located in Kahului, Maui in Triangle Square on Hana Highway by Dairy Road.

The brand new clinic is designed especially for women, offering services such as mammogram, bone densitometry, and ultrasound examinations. These procedures are implemented by using the latest, state-of-the-art technology, handled by highly-skilled technicians and read by reputable, specialized radiologists, all of which sets MRC apart as a unique, cutting-edge facility in medical diagnostic imaging.

Higher Standards At the new facility, MRC is setting higher standards not only in medicine, but in service, and delivery. It offers many comforts and conveniences for clients, such as hassle-free parking, easy registration, as well as having coffee available all day long.

Doctors from other medical groups can now send requests to MRI and receive patient studies within a day or two.

Furthermore, the clinic’s friendly professionals provide services within a warm and esthetically pleasing environment enhanced with local artwork.

With all this said, the big news about MRI & Women’s Imaging Center is its acquisition of the world’s latest technology in medical diagnostic imaging.

First island in the State to receive most powerful scanner on the market “Maui should be proud to have a facility that features the most powerful GE (General Electric) scanner on the market,” says MRC neuroradiologist Michael May, M.D. “Only 120 of these MRIs are being delivered to different sites in the country and MRC is the first in the State of Hawaii to acquire this powerful magnet, which is called the GE Signa Infinity 1.5T MRI scanner.” MRC also has the first non-hospital based outpatient MRI in Hawaii.

The new Signa Infinity system includes a newly developed software program and a high-powered computer that allows the magnet to scan patients four times faster and to acquire four times more information. The system features the most comprehensive clinical capabilities in the industry.

It not only performs routine MR procedures like brain and spine orthopedic imaging, it also has the ability to perform

advanced applications like vascular, cardiac, and spectroscopy. The new software can also create three-dimensional images, and then can spin the holographic image around to be studied from all angles.

“Images have higher resolution, thus are sharper, therefore allowing the radiologists who read these studies to evaluate disease with much greater accuracy than ever before,” says Roy Burt, MRI’s Chief Technologist who operates the new scanner.

“Patients will be scanned much faster, so there will be less of a chance for them to feel claustrophobic within the scanner,” adds MRI Technologist Dana Dattalo. “It’s important for us to help make patients feel safe and comfortable in this procedure. I actually tried it out and it felt quite cozy because the large window gives the scanner a much more open feel.”

MRI’s contribution to the community “This new MRI system strengthens our commitment to provide the most advanced care for Maui’s people with cost-effective technology, as well as to stay on the forefront of medical imaging for years to come,” says Dr. May. He adds that the center serves as a backup facility to Maui Memorial Medical Center’s inpatient MRI. “We will have the ability to transfer hospital patients here for their imaging needs in the event that the hospital’s MRI unit is not functioning. We are working closely with the hospital and referring physicians to make sure that patients are directed to the appropriate facility for each examination.”

Maui Radiology Consultant Partners MRC is a private Limited Liability Corporation currently comprised of five partners: Gene Wasson, M.D. (managing partner); David Heeney, M.D.; Geoffrey Murrish, M.D.; Christopher A. Neal, M.D.; and Michael May, M.D. The company has been in existence for nearly 25 years on Maui. The partners of the group developed the concept of the MRI & Women’s Imaging Center a year ago. The project was spearheaded by Dr. May. MRC is an established leader in diagnostic imaging. Services include obtaining and reading images produced by the following: X-ray, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, mammography, bone densitometry, computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Maui Radiology Consultants' centers are located in Kahului (Maui Clinic and Triangle Square), Wailuku, Kihei and Makawao. For information call MRI & Women’s Imaging Center at (808) 873-9551.

MRC also has the first non-hospital based outpatient MRI in Hawaii. The new clinic, MRI & Women’s Imaging Center, opened earlier this month in Kahului.

What is Magnetic Resonance Imaging?

An MRI scanner is able to produce images of any part of the human body with such high detail that they look like pictures in an anatomy book. There is no radiation used. The image is produced by a magnetic pulse sent through the body, a procedure that cannot be felt by the patient in the scanner. There is minimal risk in performing this study.

How is it helpful in medicine?

The MRI scanner is used to evaluate parts of the human body. It is commonly use to look for abnormalities, injuries, or damages made to the brain, spine, wrist, shoulder, knee, ankle, foot, abdomen, pelvis, and even the heart. For example, radiologists can look at MRI images of blood vessels anywhere in the body to find blockages, aneurysms, or any other vascular abnormality.

For those with gallbladder problems, the MRI can scan the drainage system of the liver, as well as the gallbladder and pancreatic duct. MRC also evaluates patients with acute strokes.

ARAKAWA PLAYED HIS CARDS RIGHT AND WON MAUI COUNTY'S TOP JOB Now budgeting and finding the money to make new charter amendments work will be his problem. How you going to play that hand, Mayor Arakawa?

Over the years, Alan Arakawa, 51, has been dealt a lot of hands. Both literally and figuratively. He is a Life Master bridge player and the card game is one of his passions.

"There is a lot of strategy in bridge," he says.

"It's a simple game, but in its simplicity, it's difficult."

In a way, the same could be said about running the county. It's simple, really, just provide government services for 130,000 people and millions of visitors. And, oh yeah, you're going to have to reorganize five departments and submit a $270 million budget to the county council. The budget is due by March 15.

And by the way, while you were a county council member, by law you couldn't make administrative decisions until you officially take office as Mayor January 2.

So that's the hand Arakawa will be playing now that he pulled off the stunning defeat of the incumbent mayor, James "Kimo" Apana.

Arakawa beat Apana 20,887 to 19,784, winning by only 1,103 votes after trailing during most of election evening. It was a re-match of

JANUARY 2, 2003

COVER STORY

the 1998 election, where Arakawa lost by 2,500 votes. But in the 2002 version, Arakawa was outspent 5-1, with Apana raising over $750,000 in his bid for re-election.

People who have watched Arakawa over the years knew he was persistent.

He was determined to be mayor and if it hadn't been this year, he likely would have been back in 2006. He ran twice for council before being elected in 1994. Arakawa says that he doesn't take his political defeats personally. He says that he views elected office as public service and that when he loses an election, he seeks other ways to serve. "If you don't win, you continue to do community service in a different way," he says. But you also keep trying to get elected. One of the reasons Apana was defeated was that for four years he had Arakawa on his heels. Just about every time there was anything controversial involving Apana's administration, Arakawa was there, publicly commenting how he thought the Apana administration was failing.

Keeping his opinions to himself hasn't been

Arakawa's style. He first came to public prominence as a whistle blower in a high profile pollution case when he worked in the county's wastewater division in 1991. Over a two-year period, Arakawa saw millions of gallons of wastewater dumped on the ground at the county's site, within about 100 feet of Kahului Bay. Though his boss said it was permissible, Arakawa didn't think it was right and wrote to the state to find out if it was legal. It wasn't, and the county, under the Lingle administration, eventually paid $870,000 in state fines, but not before a messy investigation and court fight. "It was a brutal time in our lives," says Arakawa. "Many times I was worried if I would have a job."

Arakawa eventually spent 10 years working in the wastewater treatment division. He rose from being a plant worker, to being the supervisor of the wastewater plant. Like many on Maui, Arakawa has had a variety of jobs in his working life. An allergy to chemicals forced him out of farming, so he sought other ways to

support his family. He was selling insurance for Augustine Garcia and the Equitable Insurance Company when he first started playing bridge. "He required two things of all his employees," says Arakawa. "They had to learn to play bridge and golf." Arakawa didn't spend as much time golfing but he did take to bridge. Garcia, his boss, was an internationally rated player.

Arakawa enjoys the competition and gamesmanship of bridge, but he also enjoys the companionship of people in the bridge community. He likes to socialize and talk story with fellow bridge enthusiasts.

As a youngster, Arakawa had only a younger brother, Wallace, but many cousins and at a young age he became adept with the give and take of family life. He was born the eldest child of Edward and Irma Arakawa, who, among other things, owned and operated the Sukagawa Store in Wailuku. The family moved to Wake Island for a time, before returning to Maui, establishing a farm in Kula, where Arakawa lived with his family, including aunts

and uncles and cousins.

He has fond memories of growing up in Kula. He remembers the kerosene lanterns and the open spaces of Upcountry Maui. And he remembers the sense of community he felt there. "Kula is a very tight community," Arakawa says. Families supported one another, shared vegetables and labor. The Omapio Ku is one example of a community organization that helped people then and still exists today.

Arakawa graduated from the old Maui High School and went on to the University of Hawaii, where he studied business management in order to run the family farm. He didn't graduate from the U of H, but he did do another thing that turned out to be important in his life. He met Ann Matsui, who later became his wife. They met in 1969 and were married seven years later. Their first child, Jan, was born in 1978 followed by her sister, Jodi, in 1979.

Fast forward to today. Arakawa is finished with his third council term and is now taking the reins as mayor. While the council and mayor positions are officially non-partisan now, Arakawa is a Republican. He was first elected to county council as a Republican and ran for mayor in 1998 as a Republican in an overwhelmingly Democratic state. While he also worked to get President George W. Bush elected, Arakawa says there is a difference between national and local politics.

He says there are Bush policies he likes and others he doesn't. He is less ambivalent about Linda Lingle, Hawaii's new Republican governor elect. Lingle served two terms as Maui's mayor and Arakawa says he has a good relationship with her. "She helped me get elected the first time," he says. "We go back a long way." He says Lingle's familiarity with Maui will be an asset to the county. "She knows the needs," he says.

At the national level, critics say the GOP doesn't seem to take environmental concerns seriously, especially the Bush administration and the House of Representatives. The easing of clean air requirements is one recent example. But at the county level, "non-partisan" Republicans have been credited with standing up for the environment, particularly in the face of rapid development.

Council members Joann Johnson and Wayne Nishiki, both Republican leaning, are particularly quick to ask pointed questions and try to halt development they think is unwise. Democrats have their share of environmental credits, such as the Apana administration's open space fund -- money committed to buying and preserving open space -- something that is of particular interest on islands.

But people like Rob Parsons, who ran for mayor this year, saw which way the wind was blowing. After keeping both candidates in suspense a while, Parsons eventually endorsed Arakawa. Parsons finished a distant third in

the primary, but his 3,000 votes may have been the difference in a general election decided by only 1,100 votes. Parsons was viewed as an environmental candidate, endorsed by the Sierra Club and Maui Tomorrow, a grassroots organization that has opposed and stopped big development projects.

Arakawa has reciprocated. He named Parsons to the new post of environmental coordinator. More significantly, he appointed former Maui Tomorrow board member Mike Foley head of the Department of Planning, a post currently held by John Min. Foley is viewed as a highly qualified planner, with 35 years experience planning in northern California.

Other Arakawa appointments include George Tengan as head of the department of water. Under a new charter amendment, the water department will now be controlled by the county. The county council will have to approve three of his appointments: corporate counsel, planning and water.

In addition to Tengan, he has named Brian Moto to corporate counsel. Tengen and Moto both come from within those departments.

Beyond that, he will have to go to the council to get approval for money to fund positions that are required by new charter amendments passed in the general election.

Successfully working with the council is one of his top priorities. "The administration is only as good as the legislative body allows it to be," he says. Tight deadlines and money needs will require cooperation between the council and the Arakawa administration.

While Arakawa says he won't be a micro manager, he says more guidance is needed than was provided by the Apana administration. "Details matter," he says. It remains to be seen how an Arakawa administration will handle those details. If the appointments made so far are indicative, the county will see quite a change in direction as Arakawa takes over as mayor. Time will tell whether it is the right direction. There is a lot riding on how Arakawa plays this hand.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD LEAD STORIES A spokesman for the Internet site offering "Kaboom: The Suicide Bomber Game" (the more bystander-victims, the more points) told The New York Times in December that the game had been played by computer users about 875,000 times since its introduction in April and is but one of several of the site's questionabletaste games based on contemporary events, including "Extreme WTC (World Trade Center) Jumper," "Sniper's Revenge" and "Pico's School" (modeled after the Columbine, Colo., tragedy). Said the site's Web master, "People ... need to lighten up and realize there are far worse problems in the world than what games people are playing."

Singapore neurosurgeon Keith Goh and his colleagues said they would decide by the first of the year whether to attempt the unprecedented head-separating surgery requested by 28-year-old Siamese twins in Iran. Laleh and Ladan Bijani are law school graduates who claim to need the separation because they have grown apart psychologically. "We have different lifestyles," said Ladan (the more extroverted). "We think very differently about issues."

CREME DE LA WEIRD In a still-unfolding story from Kassel, Germany, a man identified only as Armin M., 41, gave police a videotape in December showing him killing a 42-yearold companion who had answered Armin's Internet ad reading, "Gay male seeks hunks 18-30 to slaughter." Armin allegedly admitted that he is a cannibal and that he froze parts of the victim's body for later meals. According to police, the victim (an upscale professional) had methodically put his financial records in order before leaving his Berlin home to meet Armin, and according to one newspaper, the men are shown on tape eating the victim's penis, after he consented to castration. Armin also reportedly told police that he would never eat a woman because "they are too important for the survival of mankind."

Stunned police investigators reportedly had to undergo psychiatric counseling after viewing the tape.

QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENTS In Bennington, Vt., in October, Nicholas Perotta, 18, was charged with traffic violations that resulted in minor injuries to himself and two passengers in his Dodge pickup, caused when he collided with a utility pole. Perotta told police that there was a short-out in one of his stereo speakers and that he deliberately ran off the road seeking something to bump into in order to jar the speaker back into working order.

According to testimony at the trial of Anastazia M. Schmid in Lafayette, Ind., in October, a motive for Schmid's having

murdered her boyfriend, Tony Heathcote, was that she snapped during a consensual sexual bondage session with him when he allegedly suggested, "I'll be the daddy, you be the little girl." Unfortunately, Heathcote allegedly made that suggestion only two days after Schmid had learned that Heathcote had been accused of molesting Schmid's own 6-year-old daughter. (She was convicted.)

In August (in Kenora, Ontario) and September (in Albuquerque), good-Samaritan motorists decided to pull over and offer help to police officers involved with traffic stops at the side of the road. The 27-year-old (unnamed) Ontario man was cited for DUI after he backed into the patrol car while parking, and the other Samaritan, Eddie Trujillo, 55, was cited for DUI after he badly slurred his earnest offer of assistance to the patrolman.

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT John Perkyns, 48, who in September pleaded no contest to charges of destroying homosexual-themed books at two San Francisco libraries, also allegedly vandalized as part of the same rampages books by authors Gay Talese and Peter Gay and a book of poetry about the airplane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima (the Enola Gay).

An 18-year-old, Winnipeg, Manitoba, high school student (not named in a Canadian Press report) was let off easy on drug charges by Judge Cathy Everett, in that she sentenced him merely to write a report on the evils of the drug Ecstasy. In December, he handed in a 24-page essay that began with the foreword, "All I ask is that (the judge) keep an open mind while reading this paper," and continued with a trashing of the concept of teaching drug abstinence (because it's only natural to be curious) and with detailed suggestions on how to take Ecstasy safely and in moderation. The evertolerant judge ordered a rewrite.

RECURRING THEMES Matt Boswell of Dallas apparently became the latest victim of thieves who make bad guesses about the value of packages they believe are worth swiping. In December, Boswell reported spotting a man rummaging through his truck, and when Boswell yelled, the man grabbed two containers and fled. As Boswell later explained to a Dallas Morning News reporter, the containers held pickups from customers of Pet Butler, Boswell's pet waste-removal service (advertised by signs on both sides of his truck).

THINNING THE HERD A 19-year-old man was fatally shot in the forehead by his 17-year-old brother after sneering that the kid didn't have "the guts" to shoot him (and mock-commanding him, "Shoot me, you (expletive deleted in the original story)") (Albuquerque, September). And a 23-year-old man, who had opened a van's sliding door and begun pelting cars and mailboxes with rocks as the van drove by, was killed when he fell out and hit his head (Clark County, Ore., August).

Matt Kinoshita

“I enjoy doing good things,” explains Matt Kinoshita, the extremely successful owner and shaper of Kazuma surfboards, a full-time fire fighter, a surfing coach to many of Maui’s and Hawaii’s young and very talented surfers, as well as a full-time husband and father of two adorable children. By doing what he loves on a daily basis, he enriches the lives of all he comes in contact with. For Matt Kinoshita, tackling 3 very commending jobs means, “living his dreams.” The patience he exudes, combined with his experience and understanding of the technical aspects of surfing, make him a purveyor of Hawaii’s young surf talent and future professionals. His flourishing surfboard business, with worldwide clientele, keeps him busy shaping quality boards for all. The fire department was a dream he waited 6 years to commence and he says, “There is nothing more thrilling than working with the fire department, it was my dream!”

The description “good” is an understatement and could not come close to describing the ways Matt Kinoshita has given back to our community. The world would be a better place if only more people could have the same hard working attitude, giving nature, and aloha spirit.

With over 20 years surfing experience, including many contests and travels to far away places, Matt Kinoshita knows first hand what it takes to be the best and how to succeed. Professionalism in surfing has been redefined and new standards are set for today’s youth. With the encouragement of people like Matt Kinoshita, kids today are more driven and professional, as he explains, “When I was young, surfing was more play than a profession.” Coaching and shaping for over 12 years has allowed him the opportunity to help kids take surfing to new levels. “I coach any kids who want to learn and desire to be the best!” says Matt Kinoshita, who has been the coach of the Hawaii world team for 6 years now.

Because of his understanding of the technique of surfing, what the self-taught surfer accomplished in 10 years, he’s coached some kids to be at that same level in 2 years.

Feedback from the kids he coaches indicates where the future of surfing is going.

The kids explain what they want to do and where they plan on surfing with the boards.

Combining the feedback with his knowledgeable shaping ability creates an unstoppable dynamic. It’s no wonder that some of the most talented and smartest young surfers, such as Fred Pattachia and Ian Walsh, are a product of guidance and boards designed by Matt Kinoshita.

Having lived at the same address in Haiku for 31 years, it only seems fitting that Kazuma Surf Board company is situated next to his home. From the over 12,000 boards he’s shaped, the shaping rooms are a second home to Matt Kinoshita. Over 12 years ago, Roger Anderson was the initial person to teach

him to shape, then Ben Aipa became his shaping coach, which pushed and taught him many aspects of shaping that are applied today with his very successful business. With an immensely busy schedule, Matt Kinoshita makes time to go surfing everyday, sometimes accompanied by his wife, Anne, and their 2 kids, Chaz (6 years) and Daize (2 years).

Having accomplished his dream to be a fire fighter, he has proven once again that anything is possible, if the motivation is there.

Firefighting is one of the most admirable and selfless professions. It takes a huge amount of courage and desire to save lives to even begin becoming a firefighter, which is not an easy process by any means. He is a perfect model for the kids he coaches, and an inspiration to anyone. He has fulfilled 3 lifetimes of dreams in 31 years, driven by the desire “to do good things” and to make the world a better place to be. I would like to thank him for the help he gave me in finding the perfect dimensions for my new Kazuma board which puts a smile on my face everyday!

Lahaina Coolers One thing about radio advertising: it follows you around whether you like it or not. While there are plenty of good ads on the radio, there are some that just drive me crazy every time I hear them.

The Lahaina Coolers ad campaign of the past few years falls into the latter category, and yet I listen through each painful second every time, cringing at their cheesy sense of humor.

So what happens when I find myself in Lahaina at 10:30 at night with a rumbling stomach? I head to Lahaina

pages of pupus, salads, entrée salads, burgers, pizzas, pastas, entrees, and desserts. This menu covers all kinds of ground, too. Just look at the pupus alone. Sizzling Skillet Garlic Shrimp or Clams, Crab Wontons, Steak Poki, Escargot, Nachos, Tempura Calamari, Spinach and Feta Cheese Quesadilla, Artichoke Hearts on Crostini, Kalua Pig Tacos, Fresh Fish Tacos, and Da Kine Soup. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a menu where nachos follow escargot!

We tried the Sizzling Skillet Garlic Shrimp, which did indeed arrive sizzling with lots and lots of garlic sliced into little

with Pine Nuts, Poached Pears and Passion Fruit Vinaigrette. The Shrimp and Watercress Cobb is what I want to try next, with bacon, rock shrimp, avocado, watercress, chopped boiled egg, blue cheese crumbles, and ranch dressing.

How about a Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, Meatloaf Pizza, or Evil Jungle Pizza with Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce? The Evil Jungle Pasta that I’ve heard about so many times on the radio is very tempting for me. I love that spicy stuff!

But wait, there’s a whole other page of steaks, chicken, and seafood. What to do?

The Steak Poki was a must try because I’d never heard of it before. It came sliced thin and tossed with onion, mac nut, sesame oil, and a touch of lemony spice. It’s a beef lover’s adaptation of Ahi Poke, and it works!

I like it, and my compliments to Chef Willie Munder for going out on a limb and doing his own thing.

The Chef’s unconventional touch is evident throughout the menu. He’s got a Soba Noodle Salad with Marinated Grilled Tofu, Tamarind Chicken Salad with Mandarin Oranges, Furikaki Chips and Chipotle Orange Vinaigrette, and Fried Brie on Kula Greens

The Coolers Waimea Pork Chop jumps out at me, and I know my decision has been made. It’s marinated in secret asian spices and is billed as the “tenderest... monster pork chop you will ever eat”.

That’s definitely for me.

The chop was indeed a monster, leaning against a wall of mashed potatoes next to a cluster of French beans. The marinade was very good but didn’t penetrate very deeply, and I think I have had a pork chop more tender, once or twice. All in all a good meal though, just a ladle-full of sauce away from being excellent.

WINE OF THE

WEEK

BY ANTHONY MOORE

Silver Valley Vineyards 2001 Reserve Merlot - $11.99 This week’s pick is Silver Valley Vineyard 2001 Reserve Merlot. It is an island choice that has some relation to our Valley Isle. Two Maui residents, Andrea and Steve Clark, are the owners of Sandwich Isle Cellars, a wine distributor in Hawaii based in Maui, and are also wine negotiates and owners of Silver Valley Vineyards. A wine negotiate is an individual who buys the best grapes or readymade juice that they find from growers, then blend, bottle and label their own brandname. Silver Valley Vineyards bottles traditional varietals - Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon - with California style; ripe, rich, fruit forward smoothness that all Californians seem to prefer.

Merlot is the choice for the week. Very similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, the name means “little blackbird” - and is easily confused in blind tasting. The most famous region for Merlot is Bordeaux, France, where it is the leading grape in terms of production, although Merlot is grown throughout the world; California, Chile, France - Bordeaux, Languedoc and the Roussillion- and Italy, in the Tre Venzie region (N.Italy). Bordeaux and California grapes are often said to be soft and fleshy. Silver Valley Vineyard 2001 Reserve Merlot is a great example of ripe, soft, rich California Merlot.

THIS WEEK’S

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

Soulive One of the best bands from the New York City live music scene finally comes to Maui! Soulive will be gracing Maui for a much anticipated and unforgettable five nights in January. These guys are in the “epicenter of a new music revolution, combining Funk, Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop and R&B into a soiree of groove oriented melodic artistry". Soulive’s music had my grandmother tapping her toes and doing her shimmy, and my nine-year-old nephew dancing around the house! These guys put the jam into your peanut butter sandwich, and the fuzz on your peach…

Soulive is a hard working East Coast road band that plays everywhere from small urban clubs to huge stadiums.

They're a Hammond B3 organ trio with "serious groove sensibilities", who have toured relentlessly on the Mainland, Europe and Japan for the better part of the past four years. On the last Japan tour they sold out an amazing 14 straight shows at the Blue Note club in Tokyo.

The band formed in the spring of 1999 after Eric Krasno and Neil Evans connected at the Berklee School of Music. The very first time they jammed together, drummer Alan Evans recorded the session which included his brother Neil on Hammond B3 and Eric on guitar. This raw live recording was soon released as "Get Down" on the Velour label run by president and Eric’s brother, Jeff Krasno.

In 2001 the band was signed to the Blue Note label and busted out with "Doin' Something" which featured tasty funk horn arrangements by the great

BY JENNIFER JAY

Fred Wesley of James Brown fame. On the tour that followed, Soulive opened for the Dave Matthews Band at a string of sold-out stadium shows. They would go on to open for Dave Matthews again in 2002, with Dave introducing Soulive as, "The best band I've ever seen!”

Their latest Blue Note release "Next" was recorded in 2002 with guests Black Thought of The Roots, Talib Kweli, and Amel Larieux. The tracks include a version of Ani Di Franco's "Joyful Girl" sung by Dave Matthews. The fall of 2002 culminated nicely as Soulive became the only instrumental band to open for the Rolling Stones on their "40 Licks Tour", which will result in a new live record to be released on Blue Note this year.

Recently, I was able to catch up with guitarist Eric Krasno on the phone in bitter cold New York for a quick interview about life on the road and the upcoming "Soulive Maui Adventure": Jennifer Jay: Is there any message you'd like to get out to the fans on Maui before you arrive?

Eric Krasno: I just hope you bring all your

friends [to the shows], that we can all have a good time and everyone will get down! I doubt many people on Maui have heard us before, so I'm hoping that people will be curious enough to come check us out.

JJ: You've collaborated with quite a few great musicians and bands this year, any stand out moments or any favorites?

EK: (New Orleans) Jazz Fest was pretty cool; we had a horn section and Joshua Redman which was a lot of fun. Doing stuff with Dave Matthews again was cool. Getting to sit in with him and having him perform with us were both cool moments. There's been quite a few, but there is this singer from Seattle named Reggie Watts who came on tour with us. He performs with a group "Mak Tub" (mach-tube), and he's a really talented vocalist that is coming up right now. We really chill out with him, so that's cool too.

JJ: Of all the musical talent out there these days, what single artist would you most like to jam with on the same stage?

EK: Prince, who is definitely one of my favorite artists of all time, as well as George Benson which would be a major dream come true.

JJ: You've done many live shows with DJ Logic, how has your sound together evolved over time?

EK: The cool thing about playing with Logic is like we've gotten to know each other pretty well at this point, and we like to change it up as much as possible, we love that improvisational aspect. A lot of DJs out there really need a structure of what's going to happen next and he's always willing to flow with the moment.

"The "1st Annual Soulive Maui Adventure" shows are going to rock the island from side to side! On the Upcountry side, catch them live at Casanova’s Friday and Saturday, Jan.3-4 at 10pm, at Hapa’s on the Kihei side Thursday, Jan. 9, or at the Royal Lahaina Resort on the West side Friday and Saturday, Jan. 10-11.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

Gandalf Lives!

The Power of The Ring

) The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ( Whether or not Peter Jackson's second installment in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy deservedly sweeps the Oscars for its mind-blowing union of story, clearly-defined characters and pitch-perfect use of visual effects, matters little for the shear magnitude of cinematic magic that the film series will offer audiences over time. The "Two Towers" starts off neatly with a dream sequence of Frodo's about the fate of his master Gandalf the Gray (Ian McKellan), after he was plunged into the depths of the mountain-enclosed Mines of Moria with the monstrous Balrog he had just slain when we saw him last. Gandalf wields his mighty sword against the fiery demonic beast even as he falls with it into a hellish abyss. That dramatic sequence is the only backward glance that Jackson gives before propelling the ring-bearer Frodo (Elijah Wood) and his loyal companion Samwise (Sean Astin) deeper on their quest to the Black Gates of Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power in the fires from which it was forged.

The two towers of the title refer to rival fortresses maintained by Sauron, and the Dark Lord Saruman (Christopher Lee).

Sauron, who originally forged the Ring many ages ago, reigns power over his especially repugnant army of Uruk-hai, or Uruks, to conquer all of Middle-earth

from his tower in Barad-dur. Competing with Sauron for control of the Ring is Saruman, who makes his stand from his tower at Isengard, from which he commands his evil army of Orcs.

Now travelling on separate paths across Middle-earth, the remaining members of the Fellowship travel in three groups. Aragorn the Ranger of Eriador (Viggo Mortensen) and the Elven-archer Legolas (Orlando Bloom) search with Gimli the Dwarf (John-Rhys Davies) for their two Hobbit friends Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), who have been kidnapped by a group of vicious Uruk-hai mistaking them for keepers of the Ring.

Meanwhile Frodo and Sam encounter the hopelessly pitiful Gollum "Smeagol" (Andy Serkis). The Gollum is a former Hobbit who at one time possessed the Ring for over 500 years and still lusts after its power. Frodo accepts Smeagol's suspicious offer to guide to them across the hills of Emyn Muil and over the Dead Marshes into the Land of Mordor, while Sam protests against travelling with the cunning creature that initially attacked them and tried to steal back the Ring.

Although Smeagol is a computer-generated figure, the CGI was added after filming actor Andy Serkis performing his scenes in-character, and as such enables the Gollum to breath with a life that is uncanny and weirdly captivating. As Smeagol comically tortures himself over his conflicted loyalty to Frodo, or to the

Arwen (Liv Tyler) assures Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) of his destiny as leader of men

Ring that he yearns for, he earns Frodo's sympathy, while Sam remains dutifully suspicious of the Gollum's true intentions. Smeagol is likely the first character in the brief history of GCI to possess such robust character-rich emotion that he functions seamlessly alongside the other actors.

However it is Mortensen's capable Aragorn who willfully takes center stage for most of "The Two Towers." Once meeting up with a group of soldiers from Rohan who recently dispatched the Uruks who detained Merry and Pippin, Aragorn leads an effort to defend the people of Rohan from a quickly approaching army of 10,000 Uruks. Joined by a resurrected Gandalf, now known as Gandalf the White, Aragorn's group meets with Rohan's king Theoden (Bernard Hill), who must be freed of a spell that has kept him in a zombie-like state

FILM

for some time.

As a cataclysmic battle for the last of mankind approaches Rohan at the mighty fortress of Helm's Deep, Merry and Pippin seek refuge in the haunted Fangorn Forest, whose ancient trees are able to walk and talk.

The two Hobbits are soon snatched up into the limbs of one such tree called "Treebeard' (voice by John Rhys-Davies), and spend most of their time trying to convince their leafy captor to join them in defending Middle-earth from the quickly approaching armies of Uruks and Orcs.

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Lord of The Rings during World War II as a devout catholic drawing on Celtic and Norse mythology for inspiration to create a story about the enormous ability of a few good people to conquer the vanquishing efforts of vast evil.

Frodo's gift lies is his ability to resist the terribly seductive temptation of power that he wears on a chain. It's a temptation that Germany was thoroughly saturated in at the time that Tolkien wrote the books, and it is currently a temptation that the American government has given itself over to completely in the name of oil. You will notice that, just as in Henri Cluzot's masterpiece of corporate greed "Wages of Fear," black oil pitches darkness and evil across the faces of all who come near it. Tolkien's Uruks and Orcs, whose greasy gray and black faces threaten to destroy all of mankind, are in our midst in numbers that far outweigh the few able to resist its disturbing allure.

My only complaint about "The Two Towers" is that it could have stood another edit to take twenty minutes off of its three-hour running time. But perhaps a long metaphorical escape to the battle line between doom and future is just what audiences need to sufficiently contemplate opportunities for keeping our world safe from the power mongers who abuse it.

And perhaps that's why Tolkien so brilliantly disguised his moral treatise as children's fantasy. Like the small Hobbit Frodo, it's the kids who can most easily deflect the dangers that adults and governments wield so selfishly.

With Busta Rhymes and Chi McBride. Rated R. 107 minutes (Paramount Pictures)

Director Mike Leigh, of the Academy Award nominated "Secrets and Lies", revisits the lower middle class London life he knows so well, to tell this story of the intimate relationships between family and friends. "In the drama's best moments, scenes of easy intimacy make the film's characters, even in their South London housing project, look rich" (Entertainment Weekly). Rated R. 136 min. (MGM/UA) CROP CIRCLES - 5pm. You've seen them in “Signs” and read about them in Scientific American, now those mysterious geometric patterns have a film all their own, from Academy Award nominated director William Gazecki, that offers a "rare X-Files-like glimpse into the inner sanctum of crop circle experts. Unrated. 120 min.

Director Francois Ozon ("See The Sea") mixes elements from Douglas Sirk, Vincente Minnelli, Jacques Demy, George Cukor and Alfred Hitchcock to cook up a mixed bag of cinematic treats and favors. In French with English subtitles. Rated R. 113 minutes (Focus Features)

BY TANG LI WHEEBS & THE MOLE

ESCAPE ARTISTS: PLOT AGAINST THEME (Cathexis Records, www.escapingart.com) LA's Escape Artists collective, comprised of Aamir, Ahmuse, Amnesia,Trex and Xczircles, makes some dark, abstract hip hop. Plot Against Theme, an album "about itself," is a bunch of passionately delivered word and phrase collages over sadly beautiful music and driving beats. Along with guests 2Mex, Awol One, The Moth, and Ciphnautic, the Escape Artists paint a crazy abstract mural, transposing somberly delivered vocals over minimalist melodies and driving beats. [The Mole] Sort of uninspiring for most of the first half or so, but towards the end they actually sound like they are having a bit of fun. It won’t spend much time in my cd player, but it is not unlistenable. [Tang Li Wheebs]

LITTLE WINGS : LIGHT GREEN LEAVES (K Records www.krecs.com) Light Green Leaves exists in three different phases, one per format (cd, cs, and lp). All three releases consist of the same songs recorded in different situations with different producers. The cd version that I hold in my hands happens to be the only one of the three that I have to go on for this review, but this mellow collection of indie-country gems defiantly inspires me to seek out its brothers to see if they could make these cute pop gems any better. Rather sparse and laid back, and at times reminding me of New Zealand’s Chris Knox, this record is a nice, catchy late night or early morning listen.[Tang Li Wheebs] This guy is okay, I guess, but as usual with the stuff that Wheebs reviews, it kind of bores me. It's just some guy with a guitar and light percussion singing normal pop tunes. [The Mole]

BENDING MOUTH: BENDING MOUTH (Tinmen/Skyscrapers Collective, www.mp3.com/bending_mouth) Bending Mouth is a duo comprised of Thesis Sahib and Selfhelp, two rapper guys from Canada. Their self-titled debut album is possibly my favorite album this year. First of all, the album has a beautiful array of beats provided by Sixtoo, Timbuktu (of Toolshed), Jesse Dangerously, Kilgoure, Fester (of Dert Roads), Savillion and more, and secondly, Thesis Sahib and Selfhelp are some really good and unique-sounding rappers, complete with advanced verbal abilities and some subtly poetic and politically conscious lyrics like "their molding a future of innocent soldiers to fight for their rights which are wrong, conditioned intensely and stolen from family to live like a sacrificed pawn." I suggest you check it out. [The Mole] Sounds pretty darn good, and creative. A few steps up from most of the Mole's review choices.[Tang Li Wheebs]

IRVING: GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL (Eenie Meanie Records www.eeniemeenie.com) Upon first listen Good Morning Beautiful appears to be a compilation of 11 wonderful pop songs, but upon reading the liner notes you realize that it is all the work of one versatile group. After that you are hooked.

Made up of five talented musicians (actually now four, being as keyboard player Shana had left soon after the record’s release) who all share songwriting and singing duties. The album is a fun ride. At times Irving reminds me of Blur, The Magnetic Fields, Clinic, Orange Juice, The Zombies, and numerous other groups that I love, yet they hold their own and forge a great indie sound that should gain them a lot of recognition in the months to come.[Tang Li Wheebs] I wouldn't say that this is bad - maybe it's even good - but I don't really enjoy it. It's too normal and slow for my tastes. [The Mole]

CAVEMEN SPEAK: WOODEN CAST (Shadowanimals, www.shadowanimals.com) From Belgium, Cavemen Speak, is a hip hop group that definitely stretches the boundaries of the genre. Comprised of three vocalists who rap and sing in English but with funny foreign accents, they rap about being unhappy and stuff. From the sound of their lyrics, it sounds like Belgium isn't a very bright and happy place. Their lyrics are perfectly complemented by dark and moody beats, often featuring dramatic piano loops. What I really love the most about this album is that this one guy, The Nomad, sings really funny. He sounds like he has a sore throat or something, but it's very pleasing to my ears, especially with the Belgian accent, because they pronounce words like "father" as "fodder" and it sounds cool to me. [The Mole] Nomad is totally rad, but the album let me down a bit upon first listen. Maybe it will grow on me.[Tang Li Wheebs]

Send music to be reviewed to Mole & Wheebs; 34 Ai St; Makawao, HI 96768.

The Mole is an MC/producer and owner of Motion Recordings (www.motionrecordings.com).

Tang Li Wheebs is a communist and owner of Snail On A Stick Records (www.snailonastick.com).

Imagine if people went on first dates looking and acting like they do after a year in a relationship. You’d see burping, farting, unshaven slobs with beer bellies wearing tattered remains of hockey jerseys -- unlaundered since purchase decades before, perhaps on the off chance the authorities demand forensic evidence of every meal the person’s ever eaten in front of the TV. Frightening, huh? And those are just the women.

A breakup should always be on the table -- if you want to keep your relationship together.

Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but relationships, these days, tend to have the tensile strength of a potato chip. Believing yours could crumble at any moment is the best way for you and your partner to keep from mistaking each other for oversized skin tags - benign, fleshy growths that go pretty much unnoticed until they get caught in a zipper.

As a fringe benefit, it should also prevent the two of you from turning bathing into a ritual reserved for special occasions -- like leap year.

Conflict is actually a good thing. You could consider it a navigational aid, much like those giant lights that help pilots land planes on the runway instead of in your spare bedroom. It points out areas in the relationship landscape that might call for an extra baggage handler or two. Or, perhaps, fire trucks and the bomb squad.

To solve problems, don’t rely on gimmicky tricks like that "active listening" hoo-ha, in which you’re supposed to repeat your partner’s words back to him: "I’m hearing that you loathe me so deeply that your life dream has become watching me be gnawed to death, very slowly, by an extended family of rabid squirrels." The best predictor for relationship tenure, according to extensive research by psych professor John Gottman, isn’t total erasure of conflict but acting out of what he calls "deep friendship" -- truly liking and respecting your partner, and caring about their needs like they’re your own.

This means that your boyfriend’s hissy fit isn’t necessarily a sign that it’s time to soap down the tarmac. It’s just conflict about not dealing well with conflict. It is time the boy came up with a communication style that isn’t modeled on a bottle of Coke shaken by a 10year-old. Encourage him to share issues as soon as they start burning and itching (especially any pending breakups), as opposed to bottling them up until his head hits DEFCON 1. (On a side note: As upsetting as his little tantrum must have been, it is refreshing that, these days, even little boys can grow up to be drama queens.)

If your boyfriend is like a lot of guys, he’s got a mental video of himself wrinkling the sheets with haughty, pouting types whose faces sell magazines: you know -- Liz Hurley, Tyra Banks, Salma Hayek (sans mustache and uni-brow) – not Fidel Castro in a leather mini, fishnets, and Gucci boots.

So, some girl’s talking trash about you. Big whoop. If you are indeed “everything she’s not -- slim, successful, happy, etc.,” this pretty much makes her “a lumpy, miserable, genetic error taking up space on the planet that would be better used to store misprinted tax forms.”

Wringing your hands about this particular girl’s trash-talking is like worrying about getting knocked cold by a flying cracker crumb.

Why does she hate you? Now there’s a mystery.

You’ve got a boyfriend, she’s got Buffy reruns.

Chances are, the boyfriend you’ve got is the boyfriend she wanted, and maybe for the second time around. That could be why your boyfriend, upon spotting her, manages to avoid donning riot gear and shouting into a megaphone, “Not a step closer, or I’ll release the tear gas!”

“But,” you huff, “I wouldn’t talk to someone who dissed him!” Translation: “Why doesn’t he behave exactly as I would?!” Well, actually, for a very good reason: He. Is. Not. You. He does sound like the charitable type -- a regular “Boyfriend Without Borders.” Like the betterknown “Doctors Without Borders,” who see that unfortunates around the globe have access to adequate medical attention, perhaps he likes to see that unfortunates around your office have access to adequate men. (If you can’t give a little girl a new liver, give a lonely woman a Heineken and an hour of your donated charm.)

The only hitch in the action is the girlfriend suffering from the delusion that she’s the bearded dictator of a small island relationship. A brilliant idea -- marching around his life, fencing out everybody who doesn’t salute your general fabulousness -- if you’re looking to get rid of him.

There’s nothing like a girlfriend laying down martial law that makes a boyfriend want to throw himself into shark-infested waters and swim for freedom -- that is, if the firing squad’s got the day off.

year. The other day, he walked into my house and declared that we should break up. (We had been squabbling more than usual, and he was frustrated.) Well, when he announced this, I was devastated. We ended up talking the problems out and deciding to give the relationship another shot. I’m glad we didn’t break up, but now I feel that maybe he’s sticking around so he doesn’t hurt me. I’m also a little perturbed that his frustration would lead to such a drastic consequence (one he said he was glad didn’t actually come through). Once a breakup is on the table, is there a way to move past it? Or, by getting back together, are we just prolonging the inevitable?

A woman I work with used to hang out occasionally with my boyfriend (of three years) before he and I met and started dating. Their relationship was strictly platonic. Shortly after my boyfriend and I got together, I found out that this woman basically hated me, and that she’d said derogatory things about me to my boyfriend. He said she was jealous -- because I’d gone out with a guy she’d wanted to date a few years back, and because I’m “everything she’s not -- slim, successful, happy, etc.” The problem is, my boyfriend still speaks to her whenever he runs into her, and sometimes even sits down and has a beer with her. If one of my past or present friends disparaged my boyfriend, I wouldn’t continue having even casual communication with them. Am I wrong to ask that my boyfriend cut off all contact with this woman?
