ehbrah@mauitime.com I was raised in the islands from the time I was 4 months old, in ‘79, till the current day. Lived on Maui since 1994. Paia town has always had an “old town” safe feeling for me. I’m never afraid of walking around late night, and don’t worry for my safety. I also own a business in town, and invest in the community, giving to foundations and causes I believe in. The other night I was having a drink with friends. My car was parked nearby; my purse was in the front seat, covered by a sweater. When I came out to head home, my passenger window was broken and my purse was gone, along with some other valuables. I have never felt so violated. I’ve been cautious, ever since going to college on the Mainland, but I have never felt insecure in my own hometown. I know times are tough, but they are tough for everyone, business owners and high school students, workers and retirees—don’t take it out on your fellow locals. This is a safe zone, a small island where everyone looks out for everyone else. Everyone is in this together. Malama pono, ke kahi, i ke kahi.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD BURYING HIS FEARS

the Houston area recently, including immigrants who had committed felonies ranging up to sexual assault of a child and even capital murder. After ICE declined to hold them, that 75 percent were simply released back into the community. Nationally, during that same approximate time period, ICE was deporting twice as many illegal aliens with clean records (clean, except for being undocumented) as those with criminal rap sheets.

Freud de Melo, 73, operates a quirky tourist park in central Brazil that features stone models of Noah’s Ark and other sculptures, but he also notoriously suffers from taphephobia, the fear of being buried alive, and one of his sculptures is his own elaborate, fearassuaging crypt. His vault houses a TV and fruit pantry, has access to fresh air, and features two built-in plastic cones that act as megaphones to the outside, reassuring de Melo that if he is buried too soon, he will be able to protest (as he demonstrated for a Wall Street Journal reporter, for an October dispatch, screaming into the countryside, “Help me! Come quick! I’ve been buried alive!”). (Taphephobia was more common in centuries past, afflicting George Washington among others, because doctors often missed lingering signs of life in sick patients.)

Robert Christianson, 64, was arrested in October upon his arrival at Tampa International Airport, based on a hold requested by Canadian customs officials. Christianson was being sought only on two warrants: allowing a dog to run at large and having no license for his dog.

ICE JOB A Houston Chronicle investigation revealed in November that Immigration and Customs Enforcement failed to act against 75 percent of all self-identified illegal aliens convicted of local crimes in

Springettsbury Township, Pa., in November, even though he had to leave empty-handed. The bank had just opened for the day, and cash had not yet been delivered to tellers’ stations.

Employees said that Goetz was highly irritated at having wasted his time, and that he threatened to file a “complaint” about the bank’s operations.

SEEING RED TAPE

Environmental activists announced in November their intention to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for reducing by 80 percent the California sanctuary area of the endangered San Bernardino kangaroo rat (distinguishing feature: only four toes on its hind feet). In Britain, however, the Ministry of Defense has shown great sensitivity to bats that were living in antiquated military housing in two Hampshire facilities. Remodeled buildings for 18,000 personnel will include special cavities built into the structures so that the bats can resume cohabiting with the military.

Britain’s association of police officers complained to the Daily Telegraph in November that bureaucratic requirements are “emasculating” law enforcement, offering as one example the Home Affairs Department’s insistence that a seven-page form be submitted for any surveillance work, even if the “work” is merely observing via binoculars. And in December, the Daily Telegraph reported that 45 officers from the Lancashire county police were assigned to help install speed indicator signs but only after being sent to a two-hour class that included safety instructions on climbing a 3foot ladder. Said a spokesman, “If we didn’t do it and people were falling off ladders, we would be criticized.”

CELL OUT

CHEST PAIN

By a 2-1 vote, a Florida appeals court ruled in December that Andrew Craissati could stop paying alimony to his ex-wife.

The couple’s agreement called for alimony only until she remarried or was “cohabit(ing)” with another person for at least three months, and Craissati pointed out that his ex-wife, recently convicted of a serious DUI offense, is now “cohabiting” with a cellmate in prison.

In November, Sweden’s Social Insurance Agency stopped Jessica Andersson’s disability payments despite her lingering back pain from a work-related accident six years ago; a doctor found that Andersson’s back pain would subside, enabling her to return to work, if only she underwent breast-reduction surgery.

CONTEMPTIBLE BEHAVIOR H. Beatty Chadwick, 72, is approaching his 14th consecutive year behind bars, though he has not been charged with a crime. In a 1995 divorce hearing, a judge thought

Chadwick was lying about $2.5 million in assets (his wife said he was hiding them; he said he lost them in a business deal) and locked him up for contempt of court, and he has been there ever since. News of the Weird first mentioned him in 2002, when he was closing in on the American record for contempt of court, which he now holds.

Chadwick has never wavered in his story, and after an independent retired judge investigated in 2004 and failed to find any money, Chadwick’s lawyer compared the “missing” money to Saddam Hussein’s “missing” weapons of mass destruction (and also pointed to some Pennsylvania murderers who do less time than Chadwick has).

YOU MUST BE CROAKING Recently, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has been seeking 75 volunteers to be trained in listening to frogs so that the state can complete its annual frog survey. Georgia has 31 frog species, each with distinctive ribbits and croaks, and surveyors, after practicing detection, will monitor frog habitats to help officials measure population trends. Tracking season begins this week.

Shortly after the filing, Harkins was informed that the store’s front-door surveillance camera had captured a sequence in which he had sat down and adjusted the rug to make it look like he had tripped. Harkins then immediately withdrew the claim but was arrested anyway. MTW

ROBREPORT

BY ROB PARSONS ROBPARSONS@EARTHLINK.NET

Solar flair Is Lanai’s new solar farm part of the solution or just bright shining PR? “I love her… I better be careful or I may not get anything approved.”

- Billionaire developer David Murdock, speaking about Governor Linda Lingle at the blessing of La Ola solar installation on Lana’i sprawling white tent set out on the red dirt fields of Lanai kept the late morning sun off the guests gathered for the blessing of Hawaii’s largest solar photovoltaic (PV) project to date. On the distant horizon towered Maui’s dormant volcano, Haleakala, the “House of the Sun,” a fitting backdrop to the 7,400 PV panels constructed on 10 acres of long-fallow pineapple land.

The state’s top elected officials joined Lanai workers, high school students, hula performers, top brass from Castle & Cooke Inc. and Maui Electric Company (MECO) and interested onlookers in commemorating the opening of the solar farm, which is expected to produce up to 30 percent of the island’s daily peak electricity.

Among those present was Governor Linda Lingle, who recently announced the ambitious Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI). The initiative’s aim is to have 70 percent of Hawaii’s energy come from renewable sources by 2030.

Moreover, of 1,100 megawatts (MW) of identified renewables to be integrated in the Hawaii Electric Company (HECO) grid, more than 700 MW are to be implemented within five years.

In her comments to the crowd, Lingle predicted that Hawaii will survive world financial challenges better than other places, through a spirit of collaboration and aloha. She implored those present not to let the recent return to cheap oil and gas prices sway us from our path toward energy independence.

“This is not just about renewable energy,” Lingle said. “It’s about world peace. Wars are fought over resources, and 99 percent of Hawaii’s oil is from foreign sources.”

“No one owns the sun,” she continued. “It is energy from heaven.”

Lanai residents, who pay more than 50 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh)— not only the highest in Hawaii, but in all the United States—await anxiously to see if their bill-reduction prayers are answered. “It doesn’t make me feel any better unless I see it financially,” Lanaian Ron McComber told Honolulu Star-Bulletin reporter Jennifer Sudith.

Man, we didn’t even have to Photoshop her this week. hrough a Public Utility Commission-approved power purchase agreement, MECO will buy the solar electric power initially for 27 cents/kWh, a figure that will rise to 33 cents/kWh for the last five years of the 25-year agreement. MECO president Ed Reinhardt told the Star-Bulletin he was unsure how much relief the solar farm will provide to Lanai residents, who also are still paying gasoline prices in excess of $5 per gallon.

“No one owns the sun. It is energy from heaven.”

- Gov. Linda Lingle The solar farm, with panels built and installed by SunPower Corp of Californina, is currently operating at less than half of an expected 1.2 MW capacity (the island’s peak demand is 5MW). Though all the panels are in place, the $19 million project is still awaiting integration of three battery containers that will store power when the sun isn’t shining.

SubPower General Manager Whitney Tomlin explained that each of the 7,400 6-by-12-foot panels contains 72 pho-

tovotaic “wafers” and is capable of producing 200 watts. The solar farm is actually 12 separate systems of 600 panels, positioned on the same axis to utilize the SunPower Tracker system, which tilts in relation to the sun’s movement during the day, optimizing energy production.

“It’s a beautiful day for solar,” exclaimed Tomlin. He said MECO engineers on Maui can control the Lanai system remotely, a high-tech advantage that stands in stark contrast to the decades-old diesel power plant that provides most of Lanai’s electricity. Two-dozen local workers with Keo Construction and Hawaiian Isle Diggers worked on the project, which provided $1 million in wages.

Governor Lingle was among several speakers who lavished praise on Castle & Cooke Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Murdock.

Lingle said she first met Murdock nearly 20 years ago, when she was mayor of Maui, and said he has the “purest of motives”.

“I don’t know anyone else who has invested more and made less,” Lingle continued.

“His vision is for a better world… for the Lanai children.”

Murdock, at 85, is among

LC Watch New year, same LC Things have been relatively quiet on the LC front since the new year dawned. The most recent meeting of the Adjudication Board (the arm of the department charged with doling out punishment) featured no new cases.

Contrast that with the final Adjudication meeting of ’08, when four different bars and stores were humbled beneath the board’s withering glare. Of the four, two were charged with selling liquor to someone who was already drunk.

In both of those cases pleas of no contest were entered, which, for folks new to this game, always means a fine (sometimes suspended) or worse. (OK, to be fair: my predecessor and the founder of this column, Anthony Pignataro, wrote in a 2007 LC Watch, “I think they gave out a letter of reprimand once in the four years I’ve watched them.” So there’s that.)

Since April, at least five establishments have been brought up on charges of serving an already intoxicated individual, defined in the LC’s rules as a person who “has consumed intoxicating liquor sufficient to impair at the time under inquiry the person’s normal mental faculties or ability to care for oneself and guard against casualty, or sufficient to substantially impair at the time under inquiry that clearness of intellect and control of oneself which the person would otherwise normally possess.”

It’s been said before in this space but it bears repeating: not every person who ends up failing a Breathalyzer test exhibits obvious signs of drunkenness. Yet the above definition—thorough as it may seem at first glance—is vague enough to allow the LC to pop places for selling to someone who turns out to be drunk without considering whether it was reasonable to expect the bar in question to be aware of that fact. (This becomes especially problematic when, as is often the case, a person who has been bar hopping winds up somewhere for a night cap and that place catches all the heat.)

What’s needed is a combination of clarity and thorough case-bycase evaluation. Hey, the year is young—it’s OK to dream, right?

ROBREPORT the Forbes Top 100 wealthiest Americans, landing at #84 last year with an estimated net worth of $4.5 billion. His fortune has roughly tripled over the past decade.

Once a high-school dropout, Murdock amassed a fortune in real estate dealings, and in 1985 took over the nearly bankrupt Castle & Cooke, which owned 98 percent of the land on Lanai. The entire island was previously purchased in 1922 by James Dole, president of Hawaii Pineapple Company.

Having spent $650 million in the acquisition, Murdock set out to re-create the island’s economy, from a pineapple plantation to resort destination. The Lodge at Koele and Manele Bay hotels were constructed, both now operated as Four Seasons resorts.

Originally holding a 27 percent share in Castle & Cooke, Murdock upped his stake in the company’s stock to 100 percent in 2000. He has helped turn Dole Food Company into one of the world’s largest producers of fruits and vegetables, doing business in more than 90 countries. porting a straw hat and lei, Murdock told last week’s audience that Governor Lingle first sent him a letter urging him to do renewable energy on Lanai. One of the formidable obstacles was acquiring appropriate permitting for energy projects on agricultural lands.

He elicited laughter by continually referring to the length of time necessary for project planning. “Hawaii is the slowest pokey state in the world!”

Murdock remarked, before adding, “I’ve always been noted for saying things that shouldn’t be said.”

Noting that bringing in oil depletes our local economy, Murdock continued, “I’m interested in creating jobs. We’re not in the best of times. You’re going to see hotels become very, very much less used than they are now.”

“I want to get the wind farm going over there,” he said. “How long will it take—three, four, five years?”

His reference was to the most ambitious project in the cornucopia of ideas for Hawaii’s energy future, a proposal to link a 300-400MW wind farm on Lanai to Oahu by undersea cable. In June 2007, the Honolulu Advertiser reported that the massive $750 million project could provide as much as 15 to 20 percent of Oahu’s total power needs.

The idea raised eyebrows at the 2008 state legislative session, where House Bill 2863 sought to fast track the permitting for the project.

Grippin’ and grinnin’: Sen. Mike Gabbard, Sen. Kalani English, David Murdock, Gov. Lingle and Mayor Tavares.

Renewable energy advocate and watchdog Life of the Land’s Executive Director Henry Curtis called it “Castle & Cooke’s Death of Democracy Bill.”

“HB 2863 was written by Castle & Cooke and introduced by House Speaker Say,” wrote Curtis, “to get around all

200MW or more, Murdock also asked her to declare a state of emergency, to allow her to suspend laws holding up project approvals. The story, “Oil Price Sparks Hawaiian Rush for Wind Farms,” also noted proposals for more wind power on Maui, Oahu and Molokai.

“It doesn’t make me feel any better unless I see it financially.”

- Lanai resident Ron McComber meaningful public and state and county agency review of what would be the largest energy project in the history of the state.”

Curtis argued that the largest projects should receive the most scrutiny, not the least. “This statewide grab for power and squashing of public involvement is arrogant, top-heavy, and mean-spirited,” he wrote. “Renewable energy projects do not need to be exempted from all sane laws, rules and regulations.”

Curtis, who last March labeled HB 2863 “the worst bill of the session,” recently told me that the version that passed “was much more palatable” thanks to changes and amendments made by Sen. Roz Baker of Maui.

Renewable Energy News wrote in July 2008 that even with passage of two bills signed by Governor Lingle to streamline permitting on projects of

In March 2008, UPC/First Wind, the parent company behind the Kaheawa Wind project on the ridge above Maalaea, announced its offer of $50 million toward the purchase of Molokai Ranch, which was beset by layoffs and threats to abandon utility operations.

UPC hopes to recoup that investment by constructing a wind farm on the northwest tip of the island, at breezy Ilio Point. Like the Lanai proposal, the energy would be transmitted to Oahu by undersea cable.

MECO’s December issue of “Consumer Lines,” mailed to each ratepayer with the monthly bill, lists some of the components of the HCEI initiative: “Highlights of the agreement include: Constructing an undersea cable connecting Maui, Molokai, and Lanai into one electrical grid in order to transmit an additional

400 MW of wind power generated in Maui County to Oahu.”

Transmitting electricity inter-island by undersea cable was first discussed in earnest back in the 1980s, when geothermal energy on the Big Island was thought to be a possible source of helping Hawaii towards energy independence. Fraught with myriad problems—including sulfurous emissions and native Hawaiian protests over drilling in Madame Pele— the idea never went anywhere. he huge proposals also beg the question of whether it’s a good idea to expand the state’s electric grid, rather than learning to live within our means with locally available, onisland resources. With recent power outages on Oahu and Maui, one wonders what engineering safeguards there would be for such grandiose installations.

MECO is still struggling to find the right methods of installing “shock absorbers” to compensate for the fluctuations in the Kaheawa wind energy delivery, and uses an average of one-third of the 30MW they are capable of producing.

Converting HECO and MECO’s current systems to a “smart grid” capable of saving both energy and costs will be instrumental to meeting Hawaii’s ambitious energy goals. In our rush to offset our overwhelming dependence on imported petroleum and other fuel sources, we will be wise not to proceed so hastily that we later look back and regret our choices. MTW

MAUICOUNTY

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7 So the 111th United States Congress convened yesterday with much to discuss, but over in the Senate something was missing. Or rather someone. Well, really two someones. The Junior Senators from Minnesota and Illinois were MIA, for different but equally headline-grabbing reasons.

In Illinois, there’s that little scandal you may have heard about. Roland Burris, the man appointed to fill Obama’s seat by Rod “I’ve got this thing and it’s f#$%ing golden” Blagojevich, attempted to join his colleagues in the Capitol but—in a nice bit of political theater—was turned away, in the rain no less.

Burris may be a decent chap, and while I don’t believe racism played a role in his being snubbed the fact that he’d be the only African American Senator is significant, but that guiltby-association thing’s tough to get past. Meanwhile, in the North Star State, former SNL cast-member Al Franken (he’s good enough, he’s smart enough…) has ridden a protracted recount to a slim 200-someodd vote lead. Predictably, the Republican incumbent, Norm Coleman, has brought a legal challenge, despite the fact that he called for Franken to step aside after the initial tally put Coleman up by a similarly small margin. (Nothing like politics to induce selective short term memory loss.) Both stories will be worth following, but the real question is: how’s the Senate going to manage with only 98 members? I think Jon Stewart put it best when he posed this rhetorical nugget on The Daily Show: “Do we even have enough senators to not get stuff done?”

JANUARY 15, 2009

THURSDAY, JANUARY 8 Big day for followers of the Superferry saga, as the state Department of Transportation released the much anticipated draft Environmental Impact Statement. The Superferry camp was the first to pounce, landing an e-mail in my inbox before I’d even had a chance to track down the document. The gist of the e-mail: even though they’re “in the process of reviewing the draft,” based on the summary at the beginning everything is pretty much hunky dory and they’ve dealt with or are dealing with all those pesky issues like transporting invasive species and developing in culturally sensitive areas and running into whales and whatnot (paraphrasing of course).

“We remain committed to working with the state to address impacts raised by the draft EIS,” the statement concluded.

Great, sounds good. Again though, and not to belabor the point—isn’t that what you should have done before you launched the boat? (Those who wish to slog through the 1,200-page report can find it online at hawaii.gov/dot/harbors.)

FRIDAY, JANUARY 9 I’d scarcely had time to absorb the news that everything’s great with the Superferry when I received word from the ACLU that, despite rulings in other states that it’s a clear violation of constitutionally protected privacy, Hawaii’s plan to start randomly drug-testing teachers is still alive. Huh. I guess good things do come in pairs. (Should I insert a sarcasm alert here? I’m never sure.)…

Speaking of things that come in pairs: today we found out which part of Blagojevich is bigger than his hair. After the Illinois state House voted 114-1 in favor of impeachment proceedings, the Governor reiterated his innocence, which is what you’d expect.

But here’s the good part: he blamed the vote on political payback motivated by the fact that he has “done things to fight for families.” Yes, you heard that right—114 congresspeople from the great state of Illinois want to remove their chief executive from office because he fought for families. That pronouncement came at a press conference (termed “extraordinary” by the AP) where Blagojevich was flanked by—and I am not making this up—an organ transplant recipient and a guy in a wheelchair. A freakin’ wheelchair. This man—and let’s remember, he was caught on tape trying to sell a seat in the United States Senate—is smuggling a pair of basketballs in his Fruit of Looms.

How many times do we have to flush this guy? the issue, died shortly after being reelected in November. Per state law, Dems gave Gov. Lingle a list of three names from which to choose a replacement.

Lingle invited public comment and said she’d give the matter her full attention, due diligence, etc. Here’s the interesting part: a full two weeks after getting the list, it seems Lingle has only contacted one of the people on it, Wailuku attorney Gil Keith-Agaran. According to the Maui News piece, Keith-Agaran said the Guv’s people told him they were “having some difficulty finding contact information for the other two candidates.” Hmmm. Let me grab the phone book and see what I can find. Yep, there’s Lance Holter.

Looks like Kehau Filimoe’atu isn’t listed, but she does serve on the Maui County General Plan Advisory Committee, so she’s not in hiding. For the Governor to have not made at least one phone call to all three contenders is bad enough, but for her to cry ignorance as to how to get in touch with them is downright bizarre.

MONDAY, JANUARY 12 Here’s a candidate for least surprising headline of the week, courtesy of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin: “Lawmakers idling on cutting pay raises.” Seems the state legislature is having second thoughts about nixing a 36 percent raise it gave itself effective January 1. When news of the raise hit a few months ago, Speaker of the House Calvin Say first defended it, citing the soaring cost of living. As the heat grew more intense, Say reversed course and said congress should consider not taking the money. Well, you know that bit about actions and words.

Now lawmakers are arguing that giving up their larger paychecks may be “unconsti-

tutional.” If that’s true, we might need a Con Con after all… In other news: I spoke with Lance Holter this afternoon, and he said that even after faxing his contact info to the Governor’s office, he still hasn’t gotten a call. Unbelievable.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13 I will make you a promise: this is the absolute last time I’m going to mention Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, because he’s already gotten way more attention than he could possibly deserve in 10 lifetimes. But I can’t let this one pass. The man whose 15 minutes are being timed on a broken watch has made a pronouncement: no more media coverage of wars. Ever.

Journalists, says Joe, “don’t know the whole story” and therefore “have no business in it.” (Also, there was this chestnut, quoted on CNN.com: “war is hell.” Wow, thanks Joe, now I totally get it.) Wurzelbacher made his no-moremedia-coverage-of-wars proclamation while covering the war in Gaza for pjtv.com, which is apparently some sort of right wing news outlet. So maybe he just meant no more war coverage by legitimate media. All right Joe, I’m gonna make this simple for you: you are a puppet. A pawn. A patsy. A punchline.

You were cynically used by a desperate politician trying to revive his flagging campaign, then discarded. The only thing more nonexistent than your credentials is your credibility. You’re not even a licensed plumber fer chrissake, and your name isn’t even Joe. Of course, I really shouldn’t be angry at “Joe” so much as the culture that created him and elevated him to quasi-celebrity status.

But naw, I’m just mad at Joe. Shut up and go away. OK, I’m done. MTW

aui was once two islands. As the Pacific pounded at the base of the eastern and western highlands it churned up enormous mounds of sand between the two volcanic landmasses, in what is now the valley that inspired Maui ’s nickname. Then the ocean receded, leaving an eight and a half-mile stretch of 200foot high sand dunes in its wake between Kahului and Maalaea Harbors.

Many of the dunes lithified over thousands of years, but even stone was no match for Western man. Sand mining and grading left few remnants of these ancient and culturally vital formations. The dunes now signify two very different definitions of sacred: that of Westerners and that of kanaka maoli.

For the former it’s individual gain, development and the “American Dream,” as one can plainly see when looking toward Haleakala from any high point in Wailuku.

For the latter the importance of sand dunes lies in cultural preservation, in the practice of using dunes as burial sites for iwi kupuna, the bones of their ancestors.

Many believe that a swath of land in Central Maui, an area that is being rapidly developed, is rich in burial

Wailuku resident Clare Apana

was like Washington D.C., Maxwell says, and Lower Main Street has a high concentration of burials. A small group of Maui residents, mostly kanaka maoli, recently showed up to deliver testimony at meetings of the Cultural Resources and Planning Commissions concerning the next phase of Maui Lani Partners, LLC’s development of more than 1,000 acres in the area nestled between Wailuku and Kahului. They claim that the area is clearly a traditional burial ground and may have even been the resting place of warriors from a historic battle. Yet others, including cultural practitioner and project consultant Les Kuloloio, say that Maui Lani Partners is doing all it can to preserve every burial the developer finds, and that no battle artifacts have been found at the site.

The question becomes: who is right? And, more importantly, what is pono?

There are burial sites all over Maui, says Kahu Uncle Charles Kauluwehi Maxwell Sr., chair of the Maui/Lanai Islands Burial Council. (Maxwell has also done consulting work for developer Dowling Co.) In its heyday, Wailuku

ccording to ancient beliefs, the dunes that cut through Central Maui “are like the vertebrae of a mo‘o (lizard),” Maxwell says. The word mo‘o also means a high ridge or raised surface extending between two points. One’s mo‘oku‘auhau is one’s genealogy.

sites and is in serious danger if adequate attention isn’t given to preservation.

“YOU CAN PUT UP A PLAQUE SOMEWHERE AND SAY THAT’S MEMORIALIZING THEM. [BUT] WE’D LIKE TO SEE THE HISTORY REMEMBERED OF THE HISTORICAL BURIAL PRACTICES. WE’D LIKE TO SEE THE SAND DUNE PRESERVED.”

A

Sand dune burial sites were seldom marked, as windswept sands helped conceal them from grave robbers wishing to steal the bones and the mana, or life force, they carried. Dunes rich in burials, then, serve as a vital link between Maui’s kanaka maoli and their ancestors.

“We are of the iwi,” Maxwell says. “We are of the bones.

The bones are the most important factor of our spirituality because they connect us with our past.”

The efforts of Maxwell and others in the late ‘80s at West Maui’s Honokahu sand dunes, where developers had moved over 800 iwi and planned to move 1,500 more to make room for the Kapalua Ritz Carton, resulted in Hawaii Revised Statute 6E, which established burial councils for each island as well as laws for handling the iwi that have been found. It took them three months to wrap and re-inter the remains at their original resting place, which Maxwell says included the iwi of 16 ali‘i (royals). The hotel’s building site was moved farther inland.

bones in place or move them to a nearby preservation area. Maxwell says the council tries to keep as many iwi in place as possible. Ninety percent of the burial sites that have been discovered, he says, have been preserved in place.

Rotunno-Hazuka says there’s a catch-22 when it comes to discovering burials, since most are found during construction monitoring, the next phase. This is partially due to the unmarked nature of the burial sites; only occasionally are burials marked with rounded river rocks. “You can’t get a full picture of a property during a survey,” Rotunno-Hazuka says. “But we can’t get a permit if we don’t do a survey.”

Construction monitoring involves assigning a staff archaeologist to every piece of earth-altering machinery to watch for iwi during actual construction. Every iwi found during the monitoring phase is considered an “inadvertent” find, which must get reported to SHPD. Contrary to what many believe, Rotunno-Hazuka says, inadvertent finds are the more difficult of the two discovery types. Although reporting to SHPD instead of having to wait for a monthly burial council meeting to roll around expedites things, the cost of halting a project already underway is high. The developer has altered its construction plans several times to accommodate burials, Rotunno-Hazuka says. But sometimes it’s the iwi that have to move.

In one recently approved Maui Lani project phase—a village mixed use (VMX) area totaling 91 acres—around 30 burials (the count differs, depending on who you ask) have been found, including sites along what will be an extension of Kuikahi Drive. The road will eventually intersect with Maui Lani Parkway and serve as a connection between the southern reaches of Wailuku and Kahului. Numerous burials were discovered at or near the site of the future road. Most, according to Leiane Paci of Maui Lani Partners, are being preserved in place while some had to be relocated to a preservation area near the road. erhaps the biggest mystery surrounding this area is the grand total of iwi buried throughout. Some people estimate as many as 1,000, but that number has yet to be quantified. Maui Lani has come before the burial council numerous times after having found burials at parcels throughout the entire project area. But each phase of the project is viewed separately, so the burials haven’t been totaled.

Maxwell says that the council should see that change by the end of the month. “I have ordered them, as chairman of the council, to tell me what the count is.”

But that’s not as easy as it sounds, says RotunnoHazuka.

Some burials are intact, she says, but other sites contain “scattered” remains, which make things more complicated. She says that 30 in situ burials and 11 scattered remains does not equal 41 burials. Bones found at those 11 sites could constitute the skeleton of one individual or five, but it takes time to find out.

The scattering is likely to have resulted from a number of things that have taken place on the land since Westerners sank their teeth in: mining, which tore millions of tons of sand from the belly of the mo‘o; agriculture in surrounding areas; and, according to Rotunno-Hazuka, the land’s having been used by the National Guard.

Despite these complications, the total number of iwi that have so far been discovered at the site is set to be reported at the next meeting of the burial council on January 29.

To Kihei resident Daniel Kanahele, whose interest in the issue is of a personal nature, the accumulation of burial discoveries “reaches a point where it becomes offensive,” though he does not disparage any of the preserva-

State law now requires landowners to adhere to burial council or State Historic Preservation Department recommendations, depending on the nature of the archaeological find.

Lisa Rotunno-Hazuka of Archaeological Services Hawaii, Maui Lani’s site consultant, says that a developer must contract a firm like ASH to survey the land, first on foot for surface indications of iwi, then by backhoe testing, which attempts to get a representative sample of the site by digging in a handful of areas. They are required to report any iwi they find to the burial council, which will either tell them to preserve the

tion efforts or the work of the cultural practitioners. If Maui Lani is a big pie, they’re bringing pieces of it before the Planning Commission, he says. “When it comes to iwi I think it’s important to look at the whole pie.” n its approval of the VMX, the Maui County Planning Commission attached conditions to the development requiring a space that would memorialize those buried there as well as a plan for dealing with archaeological sites. Paci said that Maui Lani Partners finds the conditions reasonable, but that it’s too early in the game to know what such an effort to memorialize would look like.

People like Wailuku resident Clare Apana are advocating for a more intensive survey process and active recognition of what’s there.

I

THE HEART OF THE ISSUE DOESN’T NECESSARILY LIE WITH DEVELOPERS LIKE MAUI LANI. INSTEAD, THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM THE CLASHING OF TWO OPPOSING MINDSETS— A DEEP-SEATED CONFLICT BORN OF IMPERIALISM AND CONQUEST. “You can put up a plaque somewhere and say that’s memorializing them,” Apana says. “[But] we’d like to see the history remembered of the historical burial practices.

We’d like to see the sand dune preserved. We need to use all the tools that we can [to] prove that we had a viable, rich culture. We need to incorporate all of the tools modern science gave us as well as our kupuna stories.”

The development is going to happen, she acknowledges, but an intelligent and painstaking effort to preserve the area is in order.

For example, she thinks “sensitive” areas should be incorporated into General Plan-mandated Necessary Green Areas.

“For us it’s about making peace and recognizing what would be a sacred area,” says Apana.

Apana is one of a number of people who believe that the 1776 Battle of Kakanilua, in which Chief Kahekili’s army defeated the Big Island Chief Kalani’opu’u’s elite Alapa warriors with the help of Oahu Chief Kahahana’s forces, took place at what is now Maui Lani. She and others gave a presentation to the CRC and the Planning Commission based on oral accounts that they believe place the battle squarely at that location.

Maxwell says that no archaeological evidence has been found to support this. But he contends that, battle or not, the area is sacred.

“A burial is a burial,” he says. he heart of the issue doesn’t necessarily lie with developers like Maui Lani. Instead, the problem stems from the clashing of two opposing mindsets— a deep-seated conflict born of imperialism and conquest.

“When the Western man came in 1820, land became a commodity,” Maxwell says. “The gods own the land. How can you sell the land that belongs to the gods?”

The law that’s being administered in situations like this may be too far removed from the mindset, and the culture, that shaped this land for centuries prior to Western contact.

“We’re under Western law. It’s foreign to Hawaiian law,” Maxwell says. “The question is, how can we stop this?”

Maui is still two islands. Only now the rift is no longer physical, but mental and spiritual instead. MTW

Girls just wanna have fondue Dip in for the Melting Pot’s monthly ladies’ night he yellow goo boiling on my table was a pot of gold for any cheese lover. I meticulously dipped cubes of bread and apple wedges deep into the pot’s center, and savored each bite.

T

The Melting Pot 325 Keawe St., Lahaina 661-6181 Next Girls Night Out: Tuesday, Jan. 20 This is my second visit to the Melting Pot. On both occasions, I went on the restaurant’s super popular Girls Night Out. During my trip in November, I was accompanied by two other women. During my most recent visit, I opted instead to bring a male dining companion. You would think being the lone man in a den of chocolate-devouring, high-pitched cackling women would be intimidating to say the least, but as he glanced around

the cozy-yet-chic dining area he simply commented, “This would be a great place to pick up chicks.”

A happy hour placard on the table caught our attention first and we opted for some strong elixirs before the meal. According to our server, the most popular mixed drinks are the Ruby Martini (Skyy Citrus vodka, grapefruit and cranberry) and the Sangria (red wine, brandy, fresh fruit). Having spent some time in Spain, I was curious about the Sangria. The flavor was reminiscent of apple cider instead of traditional Sangria, however we both agreed it was tasty and refreshing all the same.

For those not yet exposed to fondue dining, it’s basically a very fancy chipsand-dip scenario. You have your dry goods, which vary with each course to include breads, veggies, fruits and meats, and you dip them with these very clever forks into a sauce of some kind. The Girls Night Out menu is predetermined, making it a no-brainer for the fondue novice.

The first course started with a Samuel Adams Light beer base and heaping spoonfuls of garlic. The server prepared the fondue at our table by slowly stirring in shredded cheddar and Swiss chesses and a splash of mustard seed to finish it off. Our favorite dipper was the bread cubes—French, wheat and taro. However, there are Granny Smith apples and raw vegetables to play with as well.

The second course was a salad—Cesar or California. Both were pretty standard, but my dining companion (who likes to say he is a Cesar salad connoisseur because he orders one every time we eat

out) said that it was good overall and very cheesy (cheesy yum-yum, not cheesy haha). I thought the parmesan-crusted pine nuts were a creative touch. At this point, I ditched my mixed drink and went for a more food-friendly cocktail, California sparkling wine.

The coolest part about the main course is everything comes out on these sleek, white dishes with tiny compartments for different proteins and sauces. Entrees come with two pieces of raw beef, three pieces of raw chicken in a honey Dijon rub, two shrimp shaped into a heart and three pieces of spinach ravioli.

You cook them, again using the super cute fondue fork, in a vegetable bullion bath for about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, there’s a smorgasbord of sauces to eat them with. My favorites are the beef with Gorgonzola sauce and the ravioli with ginger plum sauce. Since I overcooked all my chicken pieces, my dining mate let me try a piece of his with a mix of the curry and teriyaki sauces.

I was looking forward to dessert the most. I am a will-slit-your-throat-for-apiece-of-chocolate kind of gal and was delighted when the dark chocolate fondue arrived. The pupu platter of dessert dippers included brownies, marshmallows, pineapple, strawberries and cheesecake, to name a few. My favorites are the pound cake and fresh fruit since they drew in the flavors best and complemented the chocolate well. We ended our meal with a cup of coffee and left feeling satisfied and indulgent but not overly full.

My most recent trip was the third Girls Night Out event, which has proved to be very successful. Not only is the restaurant getting gleaming reviews by word of

mouth, they are also collaborating with several other local businesses. Each Girls Night Out includes promotions from clothing and jewelry vendors, such as a table-to-table fashion show and raffle drawing, and some offbeat promotions like Tarot card readings and an “adult” shop display.

This is a great excuse for women to get together once a month over a fabulous martini, wearing their best stilettos, for some much-needed girl time. And, guys, you might have fun too. MTW Photos: main course platter (above); drinks and girl talk (left).

MUSICSCENE

BY KATE BRADSHAW KATE@MAUITIME.COM

Soul rebels Gritty R&B collective dares to defy convention n the airbrushed tiers of society that push shallowness and plasticity on us all—otherwise known as the mainstream—rhythm and blues is a polished genre that rarely strays from formula. I imagine most R&B songs that hit platinum these days are written in a cubicle somewhere, using templates and a computer program that generates hooks.

Because of this, it’s easy to forget R&B was once a vitally important musical form.

Soul Concepts, headed by Indio (formerly of now-defunct Lawa), seeks to rekindle that original spark. This new configuration of long-time Maui musicians, Indio says, goes for a sound that’s “old school, innovative, dirty.”

Think the kind of sound you get from some back alley Detroit studio whose sound engineer traded you two hours of recording time for a $9 gallon of Rossi.

Indio’s analogy: Kenny G. versus Miles Davis.

“It’s not that commercial sound that’s really refined,” Indio says.

The band consists of six members: Indio on guitar and lead vocals; Najona Ichimaru on backup vocals; Gene Arjell on keyboards; Makana Arjell on drums; Lenny Castellano on bass; and Paul Bunuan on sax.

Though still in the larval stage (they’ve been jamming for roughly four months), band members have been playing together in some config-

I

uration or another for years. Indio started jamming with Castellano a decade ago, and he works with Ichimaru in Ulalena.

(Indio is the show’s musical director.)

Soul Concepts Next gig: Saturday, January 17 10pm at Casanova 1188 Makawao Ave., Makawao

The band has been playing at various Maui venues, including a show this coming Saturday at Casanova in Makawao.

Their repertoire consists mostly of tunes that Indio and Gibran Vicente (who both operate a production company that shares its name with the band) penned, tunes with a sound that blends “the different offshoots of soul.”

“We all have an affinity for that kind of music,” Indio says. “It’s an outlet for us to develop our sound and create an identity...to feed our soul.”

Plus, he says, it gets people to make use of the dance floor.

While their sets consist mostly of original music, they do slip in some covers here and there. But they’re not the standards— the same tunes you hear every time you flip your dial to a commercial radio station, watch a romantic comedy trailer, or suck down mai-tais at a beach bar in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

Soul Concepts shies away from the obvious with covers like Al Green’s “Love and Happiness,” Chaka Khan’s “Tell Me Something Good” and “She’s Always in My Hair” by Prince. (Though they do give the great Stevie Wonder a nod by way of the ever-popular “Superstition.”)

Playing the standards you’ll hear anywhere, the titles that drunk tourists yell out because they fear the unfamiliar, is common. But it can also make the music into an afterthought. “You become like wallpaper,” Indio says.

The demand for ultra-familiar covers is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

(Allow me to gratuitously rant: On a recent trip to Chicago, my friend Kate Gardiner and I ventured out to a blues bar on Halsted. We paid 10 bucks each to see a cluster of obviously seasoned bluesmen rattle off a set that diverged little

from what you’d hear on a classic rock station, except maybe for “Sweet Home Chicago.” Not that I don’t think “Black Magic Woman” is a decent song, but if I’m at a blues bar in Chicago, I want Chicago blues. At least give me “Mannish Boy.” Anyway.)

But covers or not, Indio says he feels extremely fortunate to be able to play music for a living, and to work with musicians of such high caliber.

“With this group of musicians we all have a reputation in the community,” he says. “They’re probably as good as it gets when it comes to musicianship.”

Considering the pitfalls of being in a band—the egos, the creative differences, the artistic compromises that too often take place—it’s refreshing to see a local musical act that can generate some tasty, gritty music while retaining its originality and vision. MTW

parody, as though we’re watching an SNL spoof of an urban drama. There are moments that reminded me of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story; of course, in that film, the laughs were intentional.

Jamal Woolard’s debut film performance as Wallace is a mixed bag. His physical and vocal resemblance to Biggie is impressive, but he plays some of the dramatic scenes too broadly. The screenplay doesn’t portray Biggie as remotely sympathetic until near the end of the movie, which is a bold, even honest choice, but makes it hard for audiences to connect with Woolard’s character and performance. You see Biggie charming the ladies, but he lacks heart and soul as a character. For a man who, despite his criminal background, many say was a sweetheart, the movie is too much B.I.G., not enough Big Poppa.

On the other hand, Anthony Mackie is ferocious and funny as Tupac Shakur; he’s so good that I wished I was watching Mackie in a 2Pac movie instead of this one. Naturi Naughton gives a firecracker of a debut performance as Lil’ Kim, conveying unleashed

sexuality and romantic betrayal in a role that should’ve been larger. Derek Luke is appealing as Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, playing him as an opportunistic businessman. The always-great Angela Bassett hits the most dramatic notes as Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s longsuffering mother.

This is a film for the fans, who will be able to fill in the story and character gaps and appreciate how much made it onscreen.

Filmgoers unfamiliar with Biggie and the ‘90s rap scene are in for a solid primer on the subject but may be confused at times.

Here’s a big reason why this movie didn’t completely work for me: if you wonder why Combs is portrayed as downright saintly, just look at the end credits—Combs is the film’s executive producer. I had a similar problem with Tupac: Resurrection, an otherwise excellent documentary on Shakur that was produced by individuals who are too close to the story.

In both that film and Notorious you have a portrait of troubled lives, redeemed by talent and passion, portrayed in ways that come across as biased and incomplete.

We’re holding out for the Vanilla Ice biopic.

This is not a definitive take on the subject matter, but a good movie all the same.

The concluding scenes are powerful, and the film’s message of seeking redemption and pursuing your dream no matter who or where you are is inspiring. Yet the scenes of Biggie pushing his image, living a flashy life and “hypnotizin’” on stage will stay with you the most. Biggie probably would have wanted it that way. MTW

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

MOVIECAPSULES Maui Film Festival Candlelight Cinema PLAYING FOR CHANGE: PEACE THROUGH MUSIC - Unrated Documentary - A survey of ways in which musicians across the globe have made music as a means of invoking change. On the flipside it serves as a criticism of the US music industry, which sucks. 72 min.

WISDOM - Unrated - Documentary - An astonishing array of famous and successful peeps from across the globe, all over 65, offer insight on living. Desmond Tutu, Jane Goodall, Ten Kennedy and, yes, Lou effing Reed offer commentary. 60 min.

GRAN TORINO - R - Drama - Clint Eastwood plays a grizzled racist/Korean War veteran who has remained in his Detroit neighborhood despite white flight (hey, that rhymed!). His concept of reality gets thrown for a loop through his interactions with a family of Hmong immigrants. 114 min.

MARLEY & ME - PG - Comedy - A family learns important life lessons from their adorable, but naughty and neurotic dog. The dog, alas, does not talk or have shifty eyes. 120 min.

HOTEL FOR DOGS - PG - Family - You would think that such a title would bear a metaphorical significance for a film, or perhaps allude to the existential longing shared by a film’s characters, but no. This is actually about a hotel for dogs. Stars Don Cheadle.

He’s got other things to deal with on top of this, like unrequited love and a vengeful mass murderer which both also suck.

101 min.

THIS WEEK’S PICKS The art of random

No effing way

Thursday (Jan. 15), 9pm, Café Mambo, Paia

Thursday & Friday (Jan. 15 & 16), The Cellar 744, Lahaina

Few films are as likely to make you wonder if there’s a carbon monoxide leak in the room as Napoleon Dynamite. It’s one of those movies you either love, hate or wrinkle your brow in response to at every turn. The biggest complaint I’ve heard is from people who say they didn’t “get it,” but that’s part of its appeal. The plot (if you can call it that) centers on a high school kid (the movie’s namesake) from Idaho whose character transcends description. Let’s just say he keeps tater tots in his cargo pants pocket, sports a honky fro and has a llama named Tina. The other characters make for a strange and hilariously non-cohesive portrayal of, I don’t know…adolescence? Rural life? What really causes this flick to make you feel like you never gave up huffing paint is the utter lack of backstory. The dialogue rarely hints at the past, which means you’re pretty much left in the dark. You kind of have to fill in the gaps on your own. I may go just to see if I can extract any more meaning from it.

There has been a question that I have wanted to ask veteran punk band NOFX since I was 14. It has to do with their cover of Don McLean’s 1971 song “Vincent,” which I first heard on the 1996 Fat Wreck Chords Compilation Survival of the Fattest. My question is whether they covered the tune, which McLean wrote after reading a biography of Vincent Van Gogh, for satirical reasons (the original song verges on adult contemporary) or out of tribute to tortured yet brilliant impressionist Van Gogh. I have a feeling it may be a little bit of both. For nearly three decades the band has been irreverent, politically outspoken and resistant to the crass commercialism that threatens to ruin music (what’s left of it, anyway). I was a bit surprised to hear these guys were coming to Maui for two shows, but nevertheless glad. Both shows have already sold out, but I hear there’s a possibility of catching a few tickets at the door. $25.

Monday (Jan. 19), all day, Wailuku Town

Separately, the words “Shanghai” and “circus” have distinct connotations, some of them negative. (Shanghai’s geographical significance aside.) To be shanghaied, in the parlance of our times, is to be coerced, by way of violence or otherwise, into joining a merchant ship’s crew (an outdated, now illegal practice). The word circus, of course, conjures up its own set of unpleasant images…I, for one, am almost as afraid of clowns and trained bears as I am of zombie cockroaches. Yet paired together, the words Shanghai Circus invoke a set of colorful, impossible images: brilliant costumes, scary contortions, death-defying maneuvers and perhaps even dragons.

This troupe incorporates elements old and new for a show that will once again make believers out of all who attend. A Saigon Café will be serving some dynamite Vietnamese food starting two hours before the show. $12/$20/$25.

DAY

Legendary singer and activist Odetta had a voice that could shake the most musically frigid soul to the bone. She told PBS’s Tavis Smiley in the last interview she gave that she wanted to sing at Barack Obama’s inauguration, and it’s tough to think of a more appropriate person to musically usher in what many of us believe is a shift in humanity’s ways. Unfortunately we lost this civil rights icon, booming voice and all, in December. (Seriously, look up some of her stuff on YouTube if you haven’t already; you will be floored.) At least she stuck around long enough to see Obama get elected. It’s tough for members of my generation to fathom the momentous journey that took place between the days of Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of someone not entirely white to the highest office, but Odetta and others helped spark this evolution. (I don’t envy the pain they endured in the process.) This year, Dr. King’s birthday coincides with the week of Obama’s inauguration, which really brings home the message that humans might (a big might) be coming around. A celebration in Wailuku aims to mark these two occasions. Festivities start at 9am at the Stone of Hope Monument, outside the State Office Building on High Street. After the ceremony there will be musical performances by the likes of Robin Youngblood and Kelly Covington, as well as hula performances, Native American chants, African drumming and more. Festivities last until 4pm. Free.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

So, we hit you over the head with election coverage. (We being the royal we, the editorial, the media.) Now comes inauguration hype. Just imagine, if you will, how we would be celebrating if McCain were being sworn in. Would festivities consist of John Wayne flicks, Pabst and foods that look like John McCain (mashed potatoes, fried eggs, tapioca)? Sounds like (not) my kind of party. Instead, celebrations will likely consist of champagne, love beads and “Peace Train” singalongs. (Peace. Yeah, tell that to my brother, who shipped out Sunday morning. See you soon, Steve-O.) For the real gung ho Obamaphiles, those who won’t be able let the 20th of January rest until well past Valentine’s Day, the MACC is going to be one site at which you can proudly display your exuberance. Two films will screen as part of the MACC’s Candlelight Cafe & Cinema series. The first is one called Wisdom, which consists of interviews with the likes of Lou Reed, Nelson Mandela, Jane Goodall and other successful folks over 65.

Following this is a documentary flick about music’s ability to inspire change.

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) All effort should be made this week to keep the filters through which you view the world as clear as possible. Looking out a filthy, dust-caked window will force you to make assumptions about what you’re seeing through it, most of which will be dangerously incorrect. What are the obscuring and distorting influences on your perspective? Please identify and eliminate them, if you can. Finding them should be relatively easy—just while reading this I’m sure you’ve had a few suspicions. Ridding yourself of them might prove to be slightly more daunting. Nevertheless, this week you’re perfectly capable of both.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) What do you usually do when you bite into an apple and discover it’s filled with worms? You spit it out and throw it away, right? That’s why I’m confused that you’re willing to heed the well-intentioned but sorely misguided folks who are telling you there’s something there worth saving. I’m pretty sure that in this case they’re wrong. Even if they’re a little bit right (albeit unreasonably optimistic), is the little bit that’s still good truly worth the effort you’d have to put in to salvage it? Considering there’s at least one perfectly good, worm-free apple, ripe for the picking and just within reach, I’d have to say no.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Physicists will tell you that there isn’t much to matter. Even the densest, most solid substances are in fact mostly empty space. This goes counter to our instincts and observations and yet is provably true, given the proper equipment and knowledge. Similarly, the improbable scenario before you, as hard as it might be to believe, is as verifiable and unequivocal as the nature of the molecule. Accept it. If you don’t, the whole universe is likely to mount a massive campaign simply to prove it to you. As these lessons are likely to be painful, wouldn’t you rather learn them on your own?

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) I’m the chicken who’ll follow my friends to the edge of a small cliff, watch as they hoot and holler and hurl themselves into the water below, and then painstakingly make my own way down, the long way.

Incredibly lame, I know, but I’m okay with that. We all choose our own thrills and risks. Similarly, they wouldn’t dream of taking on some of the stuff that I’m willing to gleefully embrace. Remember that this week, and don’t try to force your kicks on the unwilling. Nor should you let anyone thrust theirs upon you.

Let everyone do what pleases them best, and you all should have a grand old time.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Play your role well. Whether you’re a follower or a leader (or different things at different times), now is not the time to bristle at the duties entrusted upon you, but rather to simply embrace them and do your best. In fact, the more ably you can live up to the expectations of others, the more likely you’ll be able to change things up to your liking later. Being pissy and resentful won’t get you anywhere—especially not anywhere you’d like to go. Grace under pressure—something you’re good at, when you let yourself be— however, will take you to someplace wonderful, where you call the shots (even if that means you get to assign shot-calling to someone else).

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) What a hassle. Instead of just telling you no, the passive-aggressive jerks in your life will place subtly infuriating obstacles in your way this week, in hopes that you’ll simply decide that the messy, obstructed route before you is just not worth navigating. It is, though. Besides, you can’t let them win. That will only encourage behavior we all need to actively and unequivocally discourage. Luckily, you’re more than capable of surviving and succeeding despite their best efforts to thwart you. Persist and leap through the annoying hoops they’ve placed in your path, then cheerfully demand your due.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Your relationship is a chair. It can be counted on to bear a certain amount of weight, but plop a sufficiently obese person atop it, and it’ll collapse. This week you get to change its shape somewhat and therefore decide just how robust it will be. Craft it into a rare antique and it may be more beautiful than ever, but only able to survive in perfect conditions. A wicker version might be lightweight and flexible, but would crumple under rough treatment. A sturdy utilitarian chair won’t win any beauty contests but is likely to keep doing its job, even if you leave it out in the rain a few times. It’s up to you what you make of it during this transitional period; whatever you transform it into, make sure it’s something you’ll still be happy with in ten years, if you can get it to last that long.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Foresight isn’t an innate talent that some people are born with and others lack. It’s a skill, learnable, practicable, and perfectible. I’m astonished when people seem unable to look even one step beyond their actions, and are thus utterly surprised by what happens next. I hope you’re not among them. Even if you can’t see ten steps down the path of causality, or even five, I reckon you can at least manage three.

Please try. You’re not lucky enough to keep leaping without looking without incident. Check out where you’re about to land, and where you’ll likely hop to the next two times you have to. That ought to keep you from making any huge, irreversible mistakes in the weeks to come.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You’re swimming through an underwater tunnel. You know there’s air at the other end, and you know you can make it, since you’ve done it before. Nevertheless there’s a fearful voice in your head fretting that this will be the time you drown, instead. That voice can really screw you. Panicking—or worse, turning back—would spell certain doom. Keep a cool head. Let your past experience be a source of strength, which you can use to defuse your own worst efforts to trip yourself up. Your past should never hold you back—only help you propel yourself forward. Make sure it’s serving its function, and no other.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Your mistake is not taking what some people say at face value. You have a talent for willfully ignoring or disregarding stuff you don’t want to hear. Then you’re profoundly surprised when they finally make good on the threats they’d been making all along. Granted, the credibility of some of those around you has eroded over the years, since they haven’t always meant what they’ve said. In this case, however, what you’re hearing (no matter how much you’d prefer to be hearing something else) is exactly what will happen, should you not heed it. Consider yourself duly warned!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Shame is a tricky concept. There are things we do that we probably should feel ashamed of, but they aren’t often the things we’re taught to feel bad about. An important step for you in 2009 is revisiting your ideas about shame; make sure they make sense. I’ll be frank with you: most of the ones you currently have don’t. They’re preprogrammed nonsense thrust upon you by various idiots, including but not limited to: your parents, your church, your society, your government. Let that shit go, already. You’ve outgrown all those influences, and can make your own judgment calls. Why don’t you start?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Unseasonably warm weather has me tempted to plant my garden early, but sowing seeds in January is still probably a mistake. Even if conditions seem favorably spring-like now, there’s a very strong likelihood that there’s still some frosty weather ahead. You, too, should bide your time. You’d like to think seeds planted now will sprout and grow, but they’d more likely be killed by a February frost. Wait until you can be reasonably certain your efforts will actually bear fruit. It’ll take more patience than you think you have—but I think you’ll surprise yourself if you try.
