Maui’s negativity epidemic is cause for concern in Letters. Some mall salesmen get a bad customer rating in Eh Brah! We run down the Internet’s best/worst with Clicks of the Year. Rob Report looks back on 2008 and the progress that was (or more often wasn’t) made. For better or (usually) worse, they said it: it’s The Year in Quotes. Coconut Wireless thinks the story about the two go! airline pilots who fell asleep while at the controls is funny...unless you were on the flight.

Barry Wurst II weighs in with his top 10 list. Spoiler alert: Twilight is not number one.

I have something to add to your year-end wrap up [“Coconut Wireless,” December 27]: how much more hostile Maui has gotten, even just over the last year. I notice it everywhere. In your paper you can see it most of all in Eh Brah! That’s a place where people have always gone to whine about whatever’s bugging them (big or small) and usually it’s funny, sometimes serious. But lately it’s been downright nasty.

What is with the hate, friends? Why in this amazing place are we choosing to lash out at one another, to ignore the spirit of aloha? It makes me sad to see a place I’ve called home for almost 30 years turn into something I don’t recognize at times. Of course there are still wonderful people who keep the aloha spirit alive. One of them, Uncle Boy, left us this year and he will be missed! But it’s not as many as it used to be. I see more hate and less love now than at any point I can remember. So my resolution for 2009 is to be more positive, to help people around me, to smile and laugh and try to reverse the negativity. Maybe if you all make the same resolution, we can bring Maui back to what it was and will always be in the hearts of those of us who love this place.

islands with detrimental consequences, we mainly object to the Superferry because of the way it was put into action. For background, we recommend checking out The Superferry Chronicles, which will also point you toward some blogs and articles on the subject.

GREG UP Re your profile of musician Greg diPiazza [“Almost famous,” December 27]: I played music with G here on the Mainland throughout the ’80s. We spent most of our twenties in the recording studio. I always felt, and still do feel, that G has an amazing talent for the creating of music.

METH AND BEER ARE TOTALLY THE SAME Hey nice job glorifying alcohol [“The Booze Issue,” December 4]! Just what we need, for people to have another excuse to go out and get wasted, especially on Maui, where the only people more sloshed than the tourists are the locals.

Oh but it’s local, so it’s OK. Yeah right.

How about meth, if that’s made by a local is it cool for me to do it? I’m supporting the economy, right? I’d say bottom’s up, but you already hit bottom.

Re your recent article on the Superferry [“Rocking the boat,” December 27]: I’m only a visitor and maybe I don’t know enough of the background, but it seems as though you’d like to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I understand the environmental report is important, and maybe the Governor and the legislature deserve to be reprimanded for going about things the wrong way. But isn’t it also a good thing to have another option for getting between islands other than the airlines, which clearly aren’t tying to make travelers’ lives any easier?

Even if the boat was launched in a bad way, isn’t it still a good idea?

Donald Lynd, Long Beach, California Ed. Note: Thanks for the letter, Donald. Though there are some valid objections to the very idea of an inter-island ferry, such as fears that it could inadvertently transport plants and animals between

Dems give Lingle three options for 9th District seat

when the incumbent decided to run just before the deadline.

Another name that was floated as a possible successor was Nakasone’s daughter, Joni McGinnis. According to a December 9 Honolulu Advertiser story, 5th District Rep. Roz Baker said it was Nakasone’s wish that his daughter take his place.

But the names that were left off the list are less important than the the ones that made it on. Here’s a quick look at the credentials of the nominees, each of whom, in his or her own way, seems to represent the party’s more progressive faction:

KEHAU FILIMOE’ATU A Native Hawaiian advocate who serves as president of Hawaiian Community Assets (HCA), a non-profit that fights for affordable housing for native families, Filimoe’atu has taken a strong stance on issues ranging from water rights to development—including, notably, Wailea 670—always with an eye on the interests of the native population. She also serves on the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC).

Mauiday Zen spa

A serene retreat in the heart of Lahaina

LANCE HOLTER A Paia realtor and chair of the Maui County Democratic Party, Holter, who cut his activist teeth in the Peace Corps, has twice run for the County Council and frequently involves himself in local issues including—but not limited to— the push for renewable energy and the protection of undeveloped coastal lands. (For what it’s worth, Holter was voted “Best Political Activist” by Maui Time readers in our 2007 Best of Maui poll.)

GIL KEITH-AGARAN

Director and, at the state level, chair of the Board of Land and Natural Resources, Director of Labor and Deputy Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.

We’re not going to endorse here, because it’s not up to us or, more precisely, you; it’s up to Gov. Lingle, for better or worse.

What we will do is join others in asking the Governor to make a swift selection so the new 9th District Rep. can hit the ground running on Oahu. MTW

MAUI VOTES ‘08

o you thought the 2008 election—and our seemingly endless coverage of it—was over?

Not quite.

Per state law, the Democratic Party has submitted a list of three names to Gov. Lingle, from which she will choose the replacement for state Rep. Bob Nakasone, who died December 7.

The contenders for the 9th District seat—which encompasses Wailuku, Kahului, Puunene, Makawao and Paia—are Kehau Filimoe’atu, Lance Holter and Gil Keith-Agaran.

Despite the fact that he was battling cancer, Nakasone was re-elected by a wide margin to a two-year term in November.

Lingle, a Republican, has until February 5 to maker her selection.

Nakasone, a widely respected public servant who was first elected to the state House in 1992, had been ailing for some time; speculation about who would replace him if he was unable to serve out his term began well before his death.

(Concerns over Nakasone’s health led us to withhold our endorsement in that race.)

Notably absent from the list of potential replacements is former Maui Mayor James “Kimo” Apana.

Apana briefly entered the 9th District race before the primary election, but withdrew and supported Nakasone

A Wailuku attorney and president of the non-profit Maui Coastal Land Trust, Keith-Agaran has a long governmental resume, having previously served as Maui County Public W o r k s

NOTE: Given the unavoidable lag between editorial deadlines and when the paper actually hits the street, it’s possible Lingle will have made her pick by the time you read this, in which case, good luck Rep. Filimoe’atu/Holter/Keith -Agaran.

BOYCOT T SEAFOOD FROM CANADA!

This is to the aggressive kiosk lotion and moisturizer sellers at the mall who attack you when you walk by. I’m usually good at avoiding them but somehow got stopped by these men who claim they are from Italy. This man was nice at first until he talked pricing. I told him that I didn’t want the sea salt thingy and then the negotiating began; this is where it got uncomfortable and he ended up being downright pushy. He was in my face and his breath stunk. He tried to cheat me on the price, telling me that the tax is $5. I told him that I didn’t want it and didn’t need it and finally he gave me the price I wanted but was just rude at the end. It left a bad taste in my mouth; the whole experience was horrible.

He was tag teaming with the other guy who I later found out was hitting on my girls and their friend who are 12- and 13-year-olds. I ended up complaining and the lady said this was not the first time! Buyers beware.

‘CLICKS’ OF

THE YEAR

PALIN BY COMPARISON From Tina Fey’s spot-on SNL send-up to the all-too-real interview series with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin provided a wealth of worthy clicks this year. But perhaps the most telling snippet was one that featured no video at all, only audio. Speaking at a campaign stop in North Carolina, Palin made her infamous “real America” speech, in which she praised those in attendance for being from the “pro-America” parts of the country, the places where you find “those who are running our factories, and teaching our kids, and growing our food and fighting our wars for us.”

Because everyone in the rest of America just sits around and burns flags.

BARACK THE VOTE Whether you think it represents the transformative hope Obama injected into the campaign or the hollow, personality-driven slickness of his image, there’s no denying the “Yes We Can” music video—featuring excerpts from Obama’s speeches interspersed with appearances by famous people like Scarlett Johansson and will.i.am—sums up much of the President-elect’s appeal. Obama wound up crossing the finish line on economic issues, but what put him in the race was the enthusiasm of young and minority supporters, many of whom got involved in the process for the first time. Call him a celebrity if you want, but you’d better also call him Mr. President.

ROBREPORT

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

The year that was The Report looks back—and ahead he past year was all about change, as exemplified by Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. My column “Floating Ideas” (2/28) touched upon the cresting wave of “Obama-mentum” washing over the Hawaii Democratic caucus. “True Blue Change” (11/13) reported on my trip to Presidentelect Obama’s neighborhood and the surge of optimism that prevailed in Chicago the day after the election.

Both articles contained other visions of change, as well. The February article detailed the Oceanlinx proposal to establish wave-energy platforms off Maui’s coastline in the Pauwela region. The visit to Illinois was aimed at getting the word out—to global ag-conglomerate Archer-Daniels-Midland—that Hawaii residents are not pleased with the idea of converting tropical rainforest to palm oil plantations, then shipping palm oil thousands of miles to replace petroleum diesel in power plants.

The call for change delineated some prevailing Rob Report themes: biofuel debates; renewable energy possibilities; water allocation and legal brouhahas; local food “sovereignty,” responsible island planning and political leadership; and the over-riding theme of living sustainably in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

T

pondered our precarious circumstances while en route to two other islands, Guam and Bali, back in March. “Peak-A-Boo” (3/6) juxtaposed my in-flight reading, Richard Heinberg’s Peak Everthing: Waking Up to the Century of Declines, with the realities of island living. “The promissory note [of our unprecedented consumption of fossil fuels] is now coming due,” I wrote.

“We must recognize that our future survival as a species depends on whether we will share dwindling resources instead of fight over them.”

“Bali Spirit” (3/13) and “Back Into the Wild” (3/20), a conservation success story about the resurgence of the Jalak Bali, or Bali Starling, tested my ingenuity in finding ways to meet printing deadlines from thousands of miles away, in a foreign country where even the electrical outlets are different. Fortunately, I found helpful people along the way.

“As a first-time visitor to Bali, I’m struck by the sincerity and kindness of

the Balinese people, so quick to smile and willing to go to great lengths to serve,” I observed. “In the context of all the finite resources, they are welcome reminders of the true infinite resources of the world— love, kindness and compassion.”

There were times this past year when the enormity of local, national and global problems seemed overwhelming.

Take, for example, “The Frights of Spring” (4/10), which detailed rising fuel costs, business bankruptcies and more.

In “Global Warning” (4/24), I profiled environmental scholar Bill McKibben, who paid an Earth Day visit to Maui Community College (MCC) and unveiled his 350.org climate change initiative.

“I’m going to depress you for a few minutes,” said McKibben. “This rapid, rapid change in climate is big enough that it’s worth reviewing the cataclysm.”

But alarmist reporting of the problems without also providing accompanying solutions is nothing short of depressing.

Thus, the thrust of my columns was to follow sobering accounts of the status quo with practical and innovative alternatives, bringing about cause for optimism.

The recent “Malama Kaua’i” (12/4) offered a template for a community-based organization to promote sustainable, local choices. Likewise, “Cultivating Change” (8/21) summarized the two-day ISLExpo, sponsored by the Sustainable Living Institute of Maui (SLIM).

As one of the ISLExpo speakers, Elizabeth Cole of the Big Island’s Kohala Center put it, “we need to cast our nets as widely as possible, and allow for public input, really engage the public.

Entrenched thinking is hard to change…”

“Ideas shouldn’t remain in paperwork,” she continued. “Don’t leave implementation to chance. You need to find dedicated, qualified people and pay them a decent living wage.” wealth of ideas for kick-starting Maui’s shift to a sustainable economy was offered in “The Big Maui Bailout” (12/11).

That article contrasted the “same-old, same-old” thinking of our elected leaders, who generously approved not one, but two mega-development projects in South Maui this past year—Wailea 670 and the Makena Resort rezoning. “‘This Isn’t About Jobs’”(11/27) concluded with Councilmember Michelle Anderson’s quote, “there’s no water; with no water, there’s no jobs.”

While both Wailea 670 and Makena brought overflow crowds to the County Council Chambers, another huge zon-

ROBREPORT ing change flew under the radar.

“Plantation Politics” (4/17) detailed the council’s final approval of 179 acres of retail and light-industrial sprawl on the outskirts of Kahului, despite the question of a legitimate potable water source for urbanizing the fallow ag lands.

With the new zoning, which will surely bring hundreds of millions of dollars to landowner Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., the council extracted conditions for “donation” of acreage for affordable housing, but on A&B land not currently designated for urban use. So the sprawl that was approved will not only extend Kahului’s boundaries, but that of Maui Lani towards Waikapu. “[The County Council] also added a condition that the zoning should not permit any mixture of residential units within the development,” I wrote. “Two weeks earlier, in their approval of…Wailea 670, they insisted that a third of the affordable housing rental units be constructed in a light-industrial zoned site in North Kihei. Go figure.”

Planning decisions were also examined in “Presto-Change-O Zoning” (8/14), which reviewed the morphing of the Kapalua Mauka and Ma’alaea Mauka projects into something quite different than initially approved, and in “Totally Ag-gravating” (7/31), an update on attempts by health food mogul Patricia Bragg to subdivide the Waiehu acreage she claimed would be dedicated to organic farming. ptions for growing food, both locally and beyond, was another recurring theme, starting with “Corn-Ucopia” (2/14), which examined the “amaize-ing” influence of that crop on our lives. “Corn is the nation’s mostplanted, most processed, most-subsidized crop,” I pointed out. “More than 80 million acres across the U.S. grow corn, and that number is likely to continue rising, due to the push to convert corn to ethanol.”

Bringing a local angle to the equation, the article continued, “nationally, 32 percent of…corn is genetically modified, and most of that seed corn is produced in Hawaii. Nearly 5,000 acres of biotech corn were planted…on Maui, Moloka’i, O’ahu, and Kaua’i. Nine million pounds of seed corn were exported last year—a fivefold increase since the 1997-1998 growing season—bringing more than $94 million to agri-business giants Monsanto and Pioneer.”

Another angle on the food-production issue, open-ocean aquaculture,

O

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

was scrutinized in “Something’s Fishy” (7/10). “In terms of food, small farms have given way to corporate agribusiness, genetically modified foods, and huge feedlots to supply the masses, all dependent upon a streamlined transportation system to move products from here to there,” I wrote. “In the ocean, entrepreneurs are seeking to improve upon an innovation once practiced by native Hawaiians, fishpen aquaculture.”

The article continued: “But the modern open-ocean cages bear little resemblance to the stone fish ponds constructed on leeward shores of Moloka’i and other islands, including Maui. Yet, should they survive the scrutiny of environmental review and economic viability, it is possible that aquaculture operations could play a role in Hawaii’s quest for self-sufficiency.”

A successful local farmer, Chuck Boerner of Ono Organic Farms in Hana, was profiled in “Fruits of His Labor” (10/25). Five influential local residents offered advice on how Maui may grow more of what we eat in “Real Homeland Security” (10/19). Both Rep. Mele Carroll and Council candidate/Board of Water Supply member Michael Howden identified water allocation to support traditional farming as among the keys to local food security.

A closer examination of water resources took place in “Flowing With The Changes” (10/2), a report of the twoday hearing by the state Commission on Water Resource Management to return flows to eight East Maui streams, and in “Where’s The Water, Brah?” (6/12), an indepth interview with Wailuanui taro grower Steven Ho’okano. ore than a dozen Rob Report columns covered renewable energy and the ongoing push to replace Hawaii’s petroleum dependence with imported or locally produced biofuels. With more than $6 billion leaving the state yearly for our energy needs, it is clear that a new era for our island economy exists in a transition to locally renewable energy. Wind, waves and solar have been discussed in great detail; they need only continued advocacy and public input to bring them into our statewide renewable energy portfolio.

Two columns brought an unexpected amount of response. “Doorway Into Light” (2/7), about Bodhi Be’s non-profit efforts to bring dignity into the death/dying/burial process, got a record number of hits online. “Big on Bamboo” (5/8), elicited many insightful perspectives on cultivating this fast-growing crop for food, building materials, papermaking, textiles and even musical instruments.

As always, the Rob Report loves reader input. Let us know the kind of topics you’d like to read more about in 2009. To all our faithful readers, we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year! MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain sleeping.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24 So Obama’s back on Oahu for one more dose of R&R before he assumes his new position. (To those yowling about him taking a vay-cay so close to Inauguration Day: lighten up. When preparing to inherit a cratering financial crisis, a broken health care system, two mismanaged foreign wars and the creeping menace of global climate change, a little body-surfing can do wonders.) Obama also attended a memorial service for his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, and scattered her ashes into the ocean off Lanai Lookout. OK, I just gave you a few personal tidbits from the President-elect’s visit because I understand people— especially people from Hawaii—are interested in this stuff. But, as I did on more than one occasion during the election, I’ve got to wag a finger (no not that finger, let’s be civil) at the obsessive coverage the media is giving Obama’s every move. (Witness the stir over the photos of a shirtless Obama, which the New York Post ran under the predictably cringe-inducing headline “Fit for Office.”) Those McCain attack ads that compared Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton were crap, but certain reporters—and these aren’t all tabloid limo chasers, some are professional journalists from allegedly reputable news organizations—are making those ads look frighteningly prescient.

Just got the latest newsletter from the Governor’s office via e-mail (it’s like Christmas morning all over again!), which highlights this quote from Lady Lingle regarding the economic downturn: “No one is going to come here to rescue us. We have to meet these challenges head-on. We have to do it in a collaborative fashion, not only between myself and the Legislature; but between myself, the Legislature…public employees of the state government, and the entire community.” Huh. Interesting she’s placing such emphasis on cooperation now, given her history of bull-headedly making decisions that show little regard for existing laws and prevailing public opinion (see: that little Superferry story you may have heard about). Wait a minute—I wonder if this whole newsletter, and every other newsletter like it, could be hollow rhetoric. You think?

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27 This is only funny if you weren’t on the plane: after an initial cover-up attempt, two go! airline pilots—whose names are being withheld—have admitted to falling asleep during a February flight from Honolulu to Hilo, as reported in the Honolulu StarBulletin. According to a report from the National Transportation Safety Board, one of the men blamed his ill-timed nap on “the warm Hawaiian sun.” Meanwhile, in what has to be a leading candidate for the least reassuring statement of all time, the co-pilot claimed to have been only partially asleep, saying he could “hear what was going on but could not comprehend or make it click.” The best/worst part is that, after overshooting the airport, lying to air traffic controllers and eventually landing in Hilo, the pair decided to make the trip back, reasoning that they were refreshed and ready for action after catching some mile high shut-eye…

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25 Merry Christmas*, everyone! (*If for whatever reason you don’t observe this pseudo-religious celebration of unfettered consumption, I still hope you have a swell day.)

JANUARY 01, 2009

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28 The American Dialect Society (the coolest society in the world) is weighing options for its hotly anticipated word of the year, which will be unveiled January 9 at the soci-

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

ety’s annual gala (the coolest gala in the world). The leading contenders, according to the society’s Web site, are “change,” “bailout” and “maverick.” Sadly cracking the top 10 is “Joe the Plumber.”

Seriously—first a book deal and now this?

When is that guy going to go back to pulling hair out of shower drains and stuff? (No offense to plumbers, it’s an honorable profession. But this clown is giving you all a bad name.)…In other news, it’s good to be president-elect: Checking in on Obama Watch, the AP reports that the massive power outage on Oahu did indeed hit the Obamas at their five-bedroom oceanfront compound, in case you were wondering. But don’t worry—three generators had apparently been installed just in case, and a fourth, offered by HECO, had to be turned away. I know he’s the leader of the free world and everything, but really? You didn’t think there was anyone else on the island who maybe could have used that generator a bit more than the guy who already had three?

MONDAY, DECEMBER 29 Gee, you don’t say. An AP story in today’s Maui News carries this stunningly obvious headline: “Bush not worst president, say wife, Rice.” (That’d be Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.) So let me get this straight: Bush’s wife—the mother of his children—and the woman whose career he advanced with an appointment to the country’s top diplomatic post don’t think he’s the worst president in our nation’s history (or at least won’t say so publicly)? Color me blown away. The only way this is news is if those two are the only

ones who don’t think Dubya is the crappiest chief executive ever to hang his stirrups at 1600 Pennsylvania. Which, come to think of it, might actually be the case.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30 This isn’t gonna go over well: According to an AP story in the Honolulu Advertiser, an unnamed NFL source says the 2010 Pro Bowl will be played in Miami. Honolulu, of course, has been the game’s home for more than two decades; it’s the one taste of pro football Hawaii’s rabid, loyal fan base gets. Whatever financial or other motives the NFL has for making the move—one explanation floated in the AP piece was that having the game before the Superbowl will make it less “anticlimactic”—it’s a bad call from a PR standpoint. Florida’s already got two teams—do they need the year-end all-star game, too? Plus, I’m betting the players selected to participate in the game (which, let’s be honest, is never very good; who wants to get injured in a meaningless exhibition when contracts aren’t guaranteed?) have no objection to spending the weekend on Oahu….In other news: CNNMoney.com reports that Las Vegas—whose California Casino is supposedly an honorary “Hawaiian territory”—has been hit by the recession, to the tune of an 8.5 percent drop in revenue. Makes sense. Why would people travel all the way to Nevada to sink their money into high-risk activities that end up benefiting only the wealthy suits who pull the strings when they could just invest in the stock market?

TERRIBLY WRONG The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, reporting the latest of 10 lawsuits against dentist Thomas Laney, 55, found “flaws” in Washington state’s medical disciplinary system, in that Laney was apparently doing “full-body cosmetic surgeries.” Laney was being sued this time by a woman for allegedly botching her breast-reduction. His attorney told a reporter that negative outcomes happen, but that Laney should not be held responsible unless the patient suffers deformities that are “terribly, terribly wrong.” (When an earlier patient of his died after surgery, Laney was “disciplined” with a fine and an order to get additional training.)

BUT DO THEY PLAY FETCH? The British Federation of Herpetologists announced in November that the number of reptiles kept as pets in the U.K. is probably greater than the number of dogs (8.5 million to about 6 million, with cats at 9 million).

One benchmark the federation uses for its calculation is the booming sales of reptile food, such as locusts, frozen rodents and crickets (now about 20 million a week).

THEY KNOW IF YOU’VE BEEN NAUGHTY

BRO OR MANZIER?

In several European countries, identifying the “naughty” kids at Christmastime is not Santa’s job but is left to unsavory legendary icons who have endured for centuries (according to a December series of articles in Germany’s Der Spiegel). In Italy, determinations are made by the extremely ugly witch La Befana, who has the ability to fly her broomstick through keyholes into bad kids’ houses. In Austria, Krampus pays the naughty ones visits as a 7-foot-tall horned devil with a long tongue and a goat’s head.

And in the Netherlands, Sinterklaas’ helper is Zwarte Piet (“Black Pete”), who, unlike Sinter, gets sooty when climbing down chimneys delivering twigs to the shoes of misbehavers. (However, the Netherlands pair has a big advantage over the North Poledwelling Santa, in that they reside in sunny Spain and arrive by steamship.)

The Wishroom lingerie shop on Japan’s Internet shopping mall Rakuten announced in November that it had already sold more than 300 of its new bras specially made for men (about $30 each) since the product launch earlier in the month. A Wishroom official told a Reuters reporter: “We’ve been getting feedback from customers saying, ‘Wow, we’d been waiting for this for such a long time.’”

INSULT TO INJURY In a March change of regulations, the Pentagon began saving money by reducing “combat-injury” benefits for all except those wounded while actually fighting, explaining that combat-”related” injuries were simply not worthy of full compensation. Thus, in examples offered by the Washington Post in November, Marine Cpl. James Dixon and Army Sgt. Lori Meshell were not entitled to full combat-injury coverage for their Iraq wounds (Dixon from a roadside bomb and a land mine, and Meshell while diving for cover during a mortar attack) because neither was actually fighting at the time.

(Dixon, initially denied about $16,000 by the classification, recently won a hard-fought reversal, but Meshell, drawing $1,200 less per month because of the change, is still appealing.)

When Arien O’Connell posted the fastest time in October’s Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco, she expected of course to be declared the winner, but the shoe company apparently had promised a group of elite runners (to attract them to enter the race) that one of them would be the “winner,” and consequently, first place went to a woman who ran 11 minutes behind O’Connell. After a storm of complaints, Nike reluctantly settled on calling both women “winners” and said next year it would scrap the two-tier system.

BIG (BRITISH) BROTHER London’s Daily Mail reported (after an investigation under Britain’s freedom of information act) that more than half of the local government councils responding admitted that they were using anti-terror laws and surveillance equipment to monitor such mundane activities as whether residents put their garbage out at the proper times for pickup. Said one prominent critic, “We are no longer living in what most would recognize as a free society.”

RUFF SEX In November, the Swedish national newspaper Expressen revealed a 30-person bestiality ring operating out of a farm in southern Sweden, but the 45-year-old man who allegedly headed the group said his members were always respectful of animals: “Any of the times I did anything with [the dog], she was the one who backed into me and provoked it. She was in heat and made herself available... There were also times later when she didn’t want to and then I backed out immediately.”

UNDER THEIR SKIN Professionals at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, told an annual meeting of radiologists in Chicago in December that they had discovered an alarming new teenage trend of self-mutilation: girls deliberately inserting objects into their arms, hands, feet, ankles and necks (including needles, staples, wood, stone, glass and a crayon). According to the Chicago Tribune, the hospital reported extracting 52 such objects from 10 girls in a three-year period and regarded the practice as an extension of the more common self-cutting. Other studies have shown that at least 13 percent of high school students have deliberately injured themselves at least once.

CREATURE COMFORT As animal hoarding goes, the 30 seized from Darlene Gardner’s doublewide trailer home in Kootenai County, Idaho, last year weren’t particularly noteworthy, even though two of them, deer, were living inside, each in its own bedroom. Authorities released the deer and other healthy animals into the wild and euthanized the rest, and Gardner’s husband pleaded guilty to one animal cruelty charge. However, in November, Darlene filed a $2 million federal lawsuit against the county’s “jackbooted thugs” who, acting without a search warrant, she said, had “killed my babies,” referring to the animals that “were my life and my family.”

FOOD FOR NAUGHT A group of recently published cookbooks touting imaginative dishes served by world-renowned chefs includes Ferran Adria’s volume on just his everyday fare at the world’s top-rated elBulli in Spain. Probably too complex for home cooking are the parmesan ice cream sandwiches, quail eggs with crispy caramel coating, calamari tube ravioli with coconut gel and especially the preserved tuna-oil air (to create foam). However, for about $250, wannabes can purchase Adria’s “Sferificacion MiniKit” with utensils and guidance on more manageable possibilities, such as watermelon soup with tomato spheres.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) William Jarrett, 38, was charged in Hempstead Village, N.Y., in November with swiping a necklace from a 32-year-old pregnant woman and running off. Despite her condition, the woman chased him, screaming, for six blocks and caught up with him just as a police officer

was arriving on the scene. (2) Muoi Van Nguyen, 31, was arrested in Spokane Valley, Wash., in November, charged with breaking a window with a hammer at a state liquor store and grabbing a bottle of wine valued at $9. Earlier, Van Nguyen had tried unsuccessfully to break the window with a rock, but decided he needed a hammer to do the job and went to a nearby store, where he purchased one for $11. (3) A 49-year-old Leavenworth, Kan., man was hospitalized in November after (according to police) using a front-end loader to pluck an ATM from the Frontier Credit Union. He was hurt when he drove to the edge of a 50-foot embankment and tried to drop the ATM, imagining that the fall would break it open, but instead, he, the loader and the ATM all crashed to the bottom. (4) British Muslim convert Nicky Reilly, 22, pleaded guilty in October in Exeter, England, to attempted terrorism for detonating a homemade nail bomb in the Giraffe restaurant. The plan failed when Reilly triggered the bomb in the men’s room, intending to take it into the dining area, but then could not unlock the men’s room door to get out. (His lawyer called him perhaps the “least cunning” person ever to be charged with terrorism in Britain.)

of his life, with not only seasonal decorations and cards mailed to himself but a full holiday meal including turkey and champagne. However, as he told the Daily Mail in November, “The credit crunch is getting to me big time,” and he has been forced to cut back a bit on the presents he gives himself. Nonetheless, every morning since July 14, 1994, Park continues to arise and open his presents before starting on his full meal and mince pie.

He also watches the queen’s Christmas speech on video.

Yes, he admits, “People do think I’m (nuts).”

NOTW CLASSIC: TRAGIC IRONY In 1983, convicted South Carolina murderer Michael Godwin, then 22, succeeded in getting an appeals court to reduce his death-by-electric-chair sentence to one of life in prison at the Central Correctional Institution in Columbia, S.C. Six years later, in March 1989, while sitting naked on a metal toilet and attempting to fix earphones that were connected to a television set, Godwin bit into a wire and was electrocuted. MTW

BUILDING RESENTMENT People whose special land-use and zoning requests are turned down by the government or neighborhood associations sometimes retaliate defiantly, as News of the Weird has reported. In July in Bucks County, Pa., two men who were denied the right to tear down a house decided to paint it purple and pink, just to annoy the neighbors. In October in Olympia, Wash., a developer who was denied a permit for a grocery store decided instead to expand his adult video store next door into an “emporium.” In September in Potsdam, N.Y., a man wanting to build a convenience store was turned down and so installed a row of nine used toilets in his front yard, as “artwork.”

ONO KINEGRINDS

Marc’s the spot Café Marc Aurel lends a measure of cool to Wailuku ailuku, with all due respect, is not exactly a hotbed of hipness. Lawyers, yes. Liquor Commission meetings, yes. Maui Time staff members, yes. But again, we’re talking about hipness.

W

Café Marc Aurel 28 N. Market St., Wailuku Mon.-Sat., open 7am, dinner until 9pm 244-0852 www.cafemarcaurel.com

Here, try this: imagine a funky little café with fresh coffee, good food, art on the walls, a wellstocked wine bar, live music in the evening, happy smiling young people—some of them pierced and/or tattooed—behind the counter, a stack of colorful fliers for various island-wide events next to the half and half. You’re not picturing Wailuku, are you?

Well, you should. Because tucked away in Maui’s oft-overlooked county seat is—among a few other worthy establishments—Café Marc Aurel, a lovably eclectic, bohemian outfit that meets all of the above-outlined criteria, and stands out even more for its incongruous location. (It also happens to share a block with Request Music, another bastion of coolness.)

Beginning January 2, Marc Aurel will resume lunchtime table service (starting at 10:30am, so really we’re talking late breakfast, too), turning the café back into a full-fledged eatery.

The menu is intriguing, with an emphasis on Mediterranean fare. The pita pizza, topped with mozzarella, roasted red bell peppers, zucchini and a Parmesan-pesto mousse, is recommended, as is

the Bruschetta—tomatoes, cheese and basil served with pieces of toasted baguette—which works as either a shared appetizer or a meal for one.

Can’t-miss sandwich choices include the sweet-and-savory Mistress—turkey, cranberry mayo and provolone on a croissant—and the hefty Italian Grinder, which features Black Forest ham, cheese, bell pepper, zucchini and pesto on a cold or grilled baguette.

For the early AM crowd, Marc Aurel brews excellent coffee (the dark roast gets an especially perky thumbs-up) and serves fine croissants, scones and bagels.

In the evenings, a pleasing array of spirits— wine from the bar, beer, cocktails—takes center stage, as do various musicians, strumming and singing in a decidedly intimate setting where there’s no such thing as a bad seat. (Come early, because chairs, stools and other sitting-down implements are limited and tend to fill up fast.)

A special wine tasting is offered the second Wednesday of each month (what better way to chase your mid-week troubles?), with advanced booking strongly recommended (280-6363 for info and reservations).

The décor is multifarious—Jack Nicholson’s smiling visage hangs above the wine bar, while the works (paintings, collages, mixed media creations) of regularly rotating artists line the walls. At present, some intricately crafted local bamboo jewelry is on display (and for sale) adjacent to the coffee fixin’s.

From the early riser stumbling after a caffeine fix to the nighttime reveler in search of sensory stimulation, Café Marc Aurel offers an oasis of cool in Wailuku. And if you need a good lawyer… MTW

Hair of the dog Places to imbibe a morning-after bloody Mary CAFE MOANA Paia Horseradish is a pretty violent substance. Ingesting it the morning after the biggest collective hooch binge of the year is like making your insides act out Apocalypse Now in its entirety. Yet somehow when mixed into a bloody Mary—especially one from such a legendary purveyor—it makes perfect sense. The Marys served at Cafe Moana feature a subtle horseradish flavor, but they’re strong in other ways; as few as two could have you slurring your words like Brando, or rambling like Conrad.

SOUTH SHORE TIKI LOUNGE Kihei This is a choice spot for those desiring a little sunshine while reversing the symptoms of zombieism. The bloody Mary here is certainly incongruous with this place’s retro-tropical motif, especially since it’s served in the same tiki fishbowl glass as the rum and pineapple concoctions for which the Tiki Lounge is known. It’s kind of like reading Heart of Darkness in a blizzard, in a good way.

THE DOG & DUCK Kihei This place draws a different crowd than the aforementioned locales, one that’s more in line with the typical bloody Mary drinker. It’s a prime spot for people watching; the place is frequented by leatherclad bikers and collar-popped Chazzes alike. You can also bring your beverage outside and take advantage of the outdoor seating, but this is an Irish pub, after all, and being close enough to the dartboard to risk a dart tip in the skull is part of the appeal.

Lahaina/Kihei The Lahaina edition of this joint has a pretty killer view of Front Street, and they offer an awesome, almost heartfelt, bloody Mary. The size of this drink is downright diabolical, and they let you substitute Absolut Peppar for plain old vodka, or at least they did last time I did my penitence there. Absolut Peppar, which was the first flavored vodka the brand offered, has tinges of jalapeno, herbs and green tomato.

Sounds healthy. Still poison, of course, but it’s got quite a kick.

STINGER RAY’S Kahului Airport It’s counterintuitive that the bloody Mary, at least among my circle of associates, is regarded as the beverage to consume before and/or during air travel.

After all, we’re trying to avoid swollen fingers and dry mouths while in flight. Yet we eject the bloody Mary, salted rim and all, from this equation entirely, though our logic for doing so is undeniably flimsy. So, why the bloody Mary? Why does this beverage seem to quench like no other while one awaits arrival at his or her destination?

It’s a question for the ages, though I fear the answer may be wrapped up, at least partially, in marketing. MTW

Alliez on them The Alliez bring bumpin’ beats, powerful lyrics, good vibes henever someone mentions the word “allies,” I usually think of the Big Three, and I’m not talking about car companies. I’m going back to WWII here. While the USSR has collapsed, good music never dies. If that’s true, the Alliez are pretty much immortal.

The Alliez are not just any old reggae band. This is a band that defies classification. Their sound ranges from classic rock to Latin jazz to hip hop, all of it infused with a reggae flavor, creating a perfect harmony. The Alliez have that distinct island vibe, expertly interwoven with the tunes of San Diego and Los Angeles. The song “Higher Ground” is a perfect example of the melting together of different genres to create a whole new sound.

W

More recently, their song “Till U Say Stop” has been enjoying regular radio play.

As their music makes evident, the Alliez emphasize bumpin’ beats, powerful lyrics and all around good vibes. Not only that, but their tunes hint at the fun-loving personalities of the band members.

Usually, I’m suspicious of a band that intentionally misspells its name as well as song titles, but in the Alliez’s case I’ll make an exception.

The Alliez were founded in Maui by Ben Cerda (bass, guitar) and Jacob Abeytia (vocals, guitar). Eventually, the band grew to include Tom Fernandez (lead guitar), Ryan Kelly (drums, percussion) and Paul Bunuan (sax). Currently, Jesse Smith is filling in for Ryan, who is in San Diego.

Past members include Dale Hauskins (rhythm, lead guitars) and Isaac (keyboards).

Asked about their musical influences, they name the Police, Bob Marley, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, 311 and Steel Pulse, among others. While you can hear reverberations of these bands in their music, the Alliez have created a sound that is undeniably their own.

On February 28, they released their debut, self-titled album, The Alliez. Their music has become a local favorite and they’ve established a very loyal fan base, with many people traveling from one island to another just to watch this phenomenal band play live. They’ve landed gigs at many local venues including Casanova’s, Charley’s, Oceans Beach Bar & Grill and played the Kauai Music Festival. They’ve also gained the respect of their peers, playing alongside topnotch bands like Ooklah the Moc, Inna Vision and Mike Pinto.

You would think that all this success would go to their heads. But the band is still down to earth enough to head to the beach for an impromptu jam session. (Luckily for everyone else, these are guys you actually want to see shirtless at the beach.)

As 2009 dawns, the Alliez have resolved to tour California in the summer and finish their new album. I don’t know about you, but that sure beats my resolution to lose weight. Again. Be sure to keep your eyes (and ears) out for this outstanding new band. Because when these guys make it big, we’ll all be bragging that they’re from Maui, and we saw them first. MTW

FILMCRITIQUE

BY BARRY WURST II BARRY@MAUITIME.COM

Best of the Wurst Our film critic weighs in with his year-end top 10

B

1. Be Kind Rewind - Yes, there were bigger, more impressively made films this year. Yet this little-seen comic fable was the movie that, for the entire year, I’d mention first when asked what my favorite was. From Michel Gondry, director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, this odd, brilliant fantasy portrays two misfits (the bizarrely perfect comic pairing of Jack Black and Mos Def) who run an on-its-last-leg video store and go to wild lengths to

keep it open. A heartfelt, funny and touching tribute to the strength of a community and the shared love of movies. As a former employee of Videoland and TV in Pukalani, I can vouch that the movie is spot on as an ode to the homegrown video store. It’s also the year’s sweetest, most casually brilliant film.

2. Let the Right One In - This Swedish vampire movie never played outside art house theaters and had an ad campaign that made it look like a typical horror film. The reality is that this disturbing, original and tremendously moving film is going to pick up a huge following on DVD. It depicts a unique relationship between a bullied young boy and a girl who has been 12 “for a long time.”

3. The Fall - Director Tarsem’s first movie, The Cell, had great visuals but a lousy story; this time, the story matches the imagery. Imagine a melding of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The English Patient and The Never-Ending Story. It shows you things you’ve never seen before.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Sign of the apocalypse #397: Jack Black stars in the year’s best film.

4. Iron Man - The perfect comic book movie with solid performances, jaw dropping set pieces and special effects as good as you’d hope. But the focus on character, story and a unique sense of humor are what made this special. Jon Favreau’s smart, sensational thrill ride was the best summer movie of 2008.

7. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Full of great scenes that play like mini-masterpieces, David Fincher’s latest is a change of tone for him and a treat for audiences. Cate Blanchett’s performance and the haunting depiction of Button’s “younger” years are perfection.

5. Synecdoche, New York - The most challenging movie of the year, Charlie Kauffman’s latest risk-taker stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a playwright who recreates an entire block of New York in a massive warehouse as a lifedefining experiment. Playfully funny, weird, shocking and worth seeing more than once, this is an amazing cinematic puzzle. The title, by the way, is pronounced “sih-neck-doh-key”.

8. Valkyrie - Grabs you from the first frame. Bryan Singer’s most riveting film since The Usual Suspects is smart, engaging and the year’s most exciting thriller. A solid ensemble cast and a spot on production recreate a horrific time and tell a remarkable story.

6. Vicky Christina Barcelona There are only three aphrodisiacs that genuinely work: chocolate, Barry White records and this movie. Woody Allen’s best comedy in years is compulsively watchable, gorgeous to look at and really, really sexy.

9. Wall-E - “Waaallllly.” “Eeeeeevah!”

Enough said.

10. Encounters at the End of the World - Werner Herzog’s wonderful documentary about life in Antarctica offers amazing sights and a revealing, fascinating look at life in “the ice.” Will give you a renewed love for sunny Maui. MTW

efore we begin, a caveat: you may not have heard of some of these movies. I know Maui doesn’t always get every movie, particularly the “artsy” ones. But instead of shrugging off my oddball choices, I ask that you give these a look on DVD. You may find, as I did, what a great discovery they are. I believe the best thing a film critic can do is to persuade audiences to see something they normally wouldn’t and to help them discover something truly great.

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Art night, illuminated

Seize the clay

Friday (Jan. 2), 7-10pm, Sargent’s Fine Arts, Lahaina

Saturday (Jan. 3), 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC, Kahului

Tropical living carries with it a major trade-off. On one hand you have the deep and irreversible impacts of colonialism like corruption, poverty and cultural displacement. On the other hand, you have this ambient vibrancy that seems to spill over into every aspect of equatorial and sub-equatorial existence, including music, clothing, food and art. The natural landscapes in areas proximal to the equator are brimming with flora and fauna that are brilliant in hue, among other things. It’s no wonder that the bright side of residing on a remote and tropical island has inspired some blazingly bright works of art. Case in point: Sargent’s Fine Arts’ featured artists this Friday night. Allison Goode’s “Illumination Photography” depicts a variety of Maui subjects, and does so to an almost impossibly vivid degree. Surfer and painter Gabriel Burchman’s landscapes involve a rare approach. Both artists’ work looks to be a direct result of life on Maui. Friday you can meet the artists, check out their work, have a glass of wine and hear some music. Free.

Early January is probably the most common time for existential crises. At least, it would seem that way given its proximity to the holidays.

First Light Film Festival offers a brief antidote to the postNew Year’s haze, though it only lasts a couple of days beyond the onset of 2009. The most intriguing film set to be screened might be $9.99, a trippy claymation flick that confronts a number of the big questions.

The plot centers on an unemployed 28-year-old dude. He comes across a pamphlet claiming to contain all the answers. It costs, as one might imagine, $9.99. Inspired by said pamphlet, the dude then embarks on a journey to spread the good word. This journey causes his path to cross with a number of colorful characters. There’s a wealth of opportunity for some pretty spot-on satire here. Plus it’s claymation. Think Gumby meets A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. $12.

Up for a challenge

Sunday (Jan. 4), 4pm, Schaefer International Gallery, MACC

Monday (Jan. 5), Fred’s Mexican Cafe, 2511 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei

It takes guts to attempt to put a new spin on an old form and pull it off effectively. Some may have trouble imagining how the portrait can be done differently—how one can originally portray a subject without rendering a subject unrecognizable. Perhaps this is why the Schaefer Portrait Challenge is kind of big deal. It occurs every three years and only Hawaii residents are allowed to enter. Prize money for best portrait is excellent. Artists can draw, paint, sculpt or assemble their portraits using various media. The artists’ reception takes place Sunday, though the event runs from January 6-February 22. Bonus: one of Maui’s own is taking part this year. Artist Matt Holton has designed graphics for the Maui Marathon and the Run to the Sun. His work is wide-ranging, astonishingly vivid and all Hawaii in spirit. His featured piece, “Contact,” depicts a longtime friend of his.

Most people’s first encounter with Fred’s usually revolves around the legendary Taco Tuesday, the restaurant’s weekly cheap taco night/meat market/excuse to get obliterated on a Tuesday night. Those who haven’t ventured into this establishment will at least recognize the quasi-psychedelic, pipe-smoking, sombrero-sporting hombre statue that stands outside the place, beckoning anyone who is not 1) a scary-statue-phobic child or 2) on a hallucinogen to come in, have a burrito and quaff a fishbowl of beer. Monday they celebrate three years of being in existence, which, these days, is quite a feat (it can’t hurt that they’re part of the Moose’s restaurant chain). And how do they plan to accomplish this, given this joint’s reputation as kind of a happy fun time party place? With good grub and all day drink specials, of course.

Call 891-8600 for more info.

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) When we punish others, be they children, employees, or lovers, the main intention is to try to get them to avoid certain undesirable behavior in the future. So many of the things we inflict by way of disciplinary instruction miss the mark, leaving the person wondering what they did wrong, with no clue how to avoid such treatment in the future. If you feel the need for such action, first question whether it’s really your place to dish it out. If you decide it is, make sure what you do makes it abundantly clear what they did. Don’t trust people to connect the dots on their own. They’ll end up with a completely different picture than you imagined.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Usually at this time of year, I’m keen to advise people to make a fresh start. Marshall your intentions, I say, and make shit happen. I’m feeling too cynical for that. You shouldn’t need an excuse like New Year’s to initiate changes in your life. Either you’re ready to manifest them or you’re not, and their association with the first of the year won’t matter one iota. Make shit happen, if you’re ready. If you’re not, maybe just figure out what it’ll take for you to be ready. There’s no perfect time for manifesting new stuff in your life; only the time you make. When will you make that time, and when will you start? This week may not necessarily be better than the rest, but it’s as good as any.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Less is more

I usually have the hardest time writing advice for you, Pisces. What do I tell a crowd of utterly unique, idiosyncratic weirdoes who are going to do exactly what they want anyway? Anyone who deludes himself that he has an especially effective influence over you is kind of dumb. While you can be easily swayed in the moment, getting you to move consistently in any one direction is harder than herding housecats. Therefore, my advice is really for those who have to deal with you. Tell them from me, please, to chill out. You can’t be controlled; the best have tried. They need not bother.

MAUI NUDE

There’s no need to react to everything that happens around you. I know you Rams like to think that the world revolves around you, but it actually doesn’t, most of the time. Much of what occurs around you has nothing to do with you, regardless of how quick you are to stick your nose in and get involved (whether or not you’ve been asked). You take events so personally that sometimes I wonder if you’ve forgotten how to let things slide, or just ignore them. That’s not only a viable strategy this week, it may be the optimal one.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Tearing up the note carrying an undesirable message doesn’t erase it from your brain. Killing the messenger or purging your email account are equally ineffective, even if they are momentarily satisfying. Eventually you’ll have to address what you know, like it or not. You rationally know that you can’t put it off forever, or even for long. Once you accept that, it’s not so huge a leap to “better sooner than later.” Quit plotting fantasy homicide on the person who brought you the news you didn’t want to hear, and just deal with it already.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) In most cases, asking your dad for fashion advice is a bad idea. Similarly, going to your chronically single friends for wisdom about your relationship, or asking your kids how to resist the perils of aging wouldn’t be all that useful. Too often I see you going to exactly the wrong people for advice. Worse, you take it! This week, let’s try something different. Consider your problem, and instead of just thinking, “Who do I like the best or trust the most?” think,” Who could take care of this without breaking a sweat?” Then forget who your best friend is and go ask that person what to do.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Sometimes you can tell the second your eyes open in the morning that it’s going to be a crap day.

Some days it’s noon before you figure it out. Whatever the case, have you noticed that once you’ve noticed, it’s hard to turn things around? Funny thing about that. Try something different this week. When things suck, instead of deciding that’s how they’ll be, try thinking instead, “Well, the day can only get better from here.” Leave out the sarcasm, if you will. You might be deluding yourself (and certainly if you secretly believe they won’t, you’re shit out of luck), but if you believe it fervently enough, you ought to have at least a chance of making it come true.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You were impatiently watching the seconds tick by at work, then fifteen minutes before the end of your shift, your boss demands that you stay a few extra hours. Shit! More time in captivity, just when you thought you were home free! This week is sure to be a test of not only the control freak in you, who detests the unexpected, but also the proud lion who hates being subject to the will of others in any case.

You may have to exercise every shred of flexibility, patience, and humility you possess just to get through the week. Fortunately, if you do, you’ll be a much better person for it.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) When an infant is curious about something, he puts it in his mouth. Eventually, most of us develop more sophisticated ways to figure out what things are and whether or not they’re good for us. However some of us still frequently stop short of using our full faculties. Because something merely looks or sounds a certain way, we decide that’s what it is. The truth is far more subtle. Make sure you’re using your brain, your gut, your common sense. Read between the lines. Then read between those lines. Then you might have some idea what you’re really looking at.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) When you’re as dependent on external factors as you are, there’s no point in getting all impatient and controlling. Either you need to free yourself from all these dependencies entirely, or you need to get better at playing the waiting game. Either is an option, though the former would require much more work, since it would involve many external changes. You ought to choose one of these alternatives, however, before you go nuts. Which would you prefer making, many small external changes, or one large internal one? Only you can decide which will work out better in the long run, but please don’t take your time about it. This week is better than most to pick and stick to your new direction, whatever it is.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Bitter cold weather is bearable with the proper gear. Try to go out in 40-below weather wearing just a sweatshirt, though, and you’ll be a very sad panda. Don layers of long undies and a parka and you’ll be in better shape. You can handle the extreme conditions before you; you just need to make the appropriate preparations. This applies to harsh emotional environments as well as the real weather outside. Don’t go naked into a hostile situation. It’s good to be open and receptive when everything is sunshine and rainbows. When there’s a storm brewing, bring a damn umbrella.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Children have to be taught to practice cleanliness. Left to their own devices, they’d mostly remain reeking and filthy. Many of our best habits are those we consciously learn and practice; they don’t simply come naturally to us. Unless you’ve taken the time to adopt and really drill some better habits, chances are you’ve got a few really sloppy tendencies floating around, basically the equivalent of not bothering to ever shower or change your clothes. If people haven’t mentioned them, it may be that they’re too shocked or polite. Try to figure it out; if you’ve been acting like a child in some way, this is a good week to remedy that.
