NATIVE RIGHT SEED ALL ABOUT IT Great Story [“Special Delivery,” March 26]! Keep up the good work, covering growers and suppliers providing necessary produce, etc. to the masses when land keeps being developed everywhere in the U.S.A. Support local growers and providers instead of importing everything, island or Mainland.

SOMETHING’S FISHY

To all people of their nations: We kanaka maoli. We are in existence. Notice: your thoughts of purchasing properties in Hawaii—please think again! America has been bankrupted. The state of Hawaii has been busted. It is time for retribution.

Facts: American businessmen—we pay for their wrongdoings, manipulation, unjust acts and practices of law. Their behavior has put American citizens in debt. The state of Hawaii was sold, transferred, traded—our lands, without kanaka maoli and the royal family’s permission. The authorities’ manipulated the system— changing laws as time goes by—for their own selfish behaviors.

I can’t believe you’d do a food issue about fish and not mention Mama’s Fish House [“The Food Issue,” March 26]. They’re the best place onisland hands down for seafood and most other kine, too. Next time do your homework.

Ed. Note: OK. We actually got a few notes and a phone call about this.

The “plug” for Monsanto—an outfit we’ve teed off on numerous times in the past—was one of the company’s PR images used ironically alongside a negative entry about HR875, a bill that critics (including us) say will help ag giants and hurt small farms.

But you didn’t even have to read the whole entry; you just had to look at the caption, which read: “Not only is the fox in the henhouse, he owns it.”

You can accuse us of being a lot of things, but in bed with Monsanto ain’t one of ‘em.

Courage and cowardice Senate votes to let civil union bill die in committee ast week, the state Senate defeated by an 18-6 margin a motion to pull HB444—a hotly contested piece of legislation that would have legalized same-sex civil unions statewide—onto the floor for a full vote. The move effectively killed the bill, which was stalled in the Judiciary Committee.

rights movement will result in a just outcome; when logic and fairness will defeat bigotry and ignorance. And when that day arrives, there will be people who stood on the side of justice and people who didn’t.

Let’s not forget to cheer those who had the rectitude to follow their conscience, and to jeer the fearful souls who in the end lacked both courage and foresight. MTW

We won’t pretend to be able to read the innermost thoughts of Hawaii’s elected representatives, but we know a blatant bit of political cover when we see it.

Despite the fact that most had previously expressed support for HB444, 16 Democrats joined the Senate’s two Republicans in the “nay” column. Six Democrats backed the effort; nine votes were needed.

Asked why they changed course, many—including Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, whose stance surely influenced other members of her party—claimed their votes were cast out of respect for the committee process.

Excuse us while we pause to scoff.

For the real reason behind lawmakers’ change of heart, look no further than the cheer that reportedly erupted from the gallery when the results of the vote were announced. It emanated from a well-organized coalition, spurred into action by churches and other organizations opposed to samesex civil unions. Senators saw the writing on the wall, realized that the forces opposed to HB444 were more vocal and organized than those in support, and got cold feet. They backpedaled. They flip-flopped.

And now they have the gall to claim it’s out of respect for the committee process? Please. We won’t pretend to be able to read the innermost thoughts of Hawaii’s elected representatives, but we know a blatant bit of political cover when we see it.

Of course, HB444 may be dead, but the issue is not. The gay community isn’t going away, nor is its struggle for equality. The day will come, we still firmly believe, when this new civil

How they voted:

HB444 may be dead, but the struggle for equal rights lives on.

A 1970s-style San Francisco commune is organized around the practice of “orgasmic meditation,” but for women only, in daily sessions that start promptly at 7am. Men belong to the commune, too, but are useful only digitally to the women and must remain clothed, according to a March report in The New York Times. The founder of the One Taste Urban Retreat Center, Nicole Daedone, 41, is considered by some former members to be running a “cult,” because of her dominant personality and ability to play on the vulnerabilities of her members, but the three dozen now in residence seem to admire her vision. One man said, according to the Times, that he had improved his own concentration at work (as a Silicon Valley engineer) through “the practice of manually fixing his attention on a tiny spot of a woman’s body.”

(1) Yale University student Jesse Maiman, 21, filed a lawsuit against US Airways in March because someone stole the Xbox console from his luggage, for which he wants $1 million. (2) In January, after the New York City subway system barred the oversized “assistance dog” of Estelle Stamm, 65, she filed a lawsuit for $10 million. (3) In Lonnell Worthy’s lawsuit against Bank of America, filed in November in California, Worthy values his now-ruined iPod playlist at $1 trillion.

Researchers recently revealed that they had observed monkeys: 1) planning future combat; and 2) perhaps teaching their young to floss. A researcher from Sweden’s Lund University, writing in the journal Current Biology, described a daily ritual of a 30-year-old chimpanzee that loathes his human visitors at a zoo north of Stockholm and thus begins every morning by roaming his enclosure to collect stones and place them strategically in handy piles for subsequently hurling at irksome visitors. And a researcher at Kyoto University’s Primate Research Center told Agence France-Presse in March that he had observed mother longtailed macaques in Thailand flossing their teeth (with strands of human hair) more frequently if their young are present and hypothesized that they were teaching dental hygiene.

In our quest for worthy clicks, we consider a lot of “this looks like a joke but it isn’t” sites. This week’s entry, however, would be more accurately filed under: “no seriously, this has to be a joke, right?”

We’re talking about the Web site for the Washlet, a product made by a company called Toto that appears to be a contraption you strap onto your toilet to improve, er, cleanliness. That’s odd enough, but what pushes thing into the realm of the truly bizarre is the site itself: The first thing you see is a series of connected, Brady Bunch-style boxes, but instead of Jan, Marsha, Bobby etc. the boxes are filled with bare butts. The butts then turn morph into smiling faces—no, we are not kidding—that offer one-by-one to tell you all about the amazing Washlet.

Mo’ feesh Embracing a future of ocean abundance What we once considered inexhaustible and resilient is, in fact, finite and fragile.” - Pew Ocean Commission report, 2003 iving in Hawaii, we have a deep love, great aloha, for the ocean,” says Hannah Bernard, marine biologist, educator and primary organizer of the More Fish in the Sea free event set for Saturday, April 4. “We see every day with our own eyes the connection between the land and the ocean—that everything we do on land affects the sea and the creatures that live in it.”

Bernard and a rapidly growing list of groups, volunteers and honorary sponsors are hosting the gala event and “community conversation” aimed at education and strategic planning to help protect and enhance our ocean resources, especially the drastically reduced fish populations throughout the world’s seas.

“[There is] no constitutional right to engage in recreational dancing in a licensed liquor establishment.” With those words, Judge Joseph Cardoza shot down Maui Dance Advocates’ latest attempt to do away with the LC’s dancing rules.

The ruling came quickly; the small handful of reporters in attendance barely had time to put pen to pad, and the camera operator from Akaku had scarcely started filming.

O

Native Hawaiian indigenous resource management has been scientifically studied, and the results validate the success of the traditional system.

With Maui Community College as a backdrop, Saturday’s activities will include live music, poi pounding, children’s games and activities, the “digital bus,” educational speakers on cultural practices and ocean stewardship, informational booths and exhibits, discussion/action groups and an evening film festival featuring four Hawaii premiere screenings. Activities begin at 2pm and wind down around 10pm.

“What’s happening,” says Bernard, “is that everyone is saying yes.

Whether we are fishermen, divers, snorkelers or just like to enjoy a fish dinner, we all want more fish in the sea. There is a convergence of good energy, and people are embracing it.

Its time has come.”

Bernard says that things had devolved into finger-pointing but that the momentum created by the Obama Administration has given people a renewed sense that they’re part of the solution.

One of the clear solutions is a return to traditional management practices,

Dancing blow

where community-based sharing of knowledge and resources may work better than top-down, blanket rulemaking and enforcement. Native Hawaiian indigenous resource management has been scientifically studied, and the results validate the success of the Hawaiian system.

“This is our shared heritage,” says Bernard, “living among a native culture of nature-based people. The system evolved through careful observation of the natural environment, and it is a framework of deep understanding.” ne of those traditional practioners—Kelson “Uncle Mac” Poepoe of Hoolehua, Molokai—will be among the featured speakers on Saturday.

Poepoe began the Hui Malama ‘o Mo‘omomi 15 years ago as a way to teach young people, including his own family, to care for the ocean through proper codes of conduct, understanding tides and moon cycles, and pono practices. He has recently been given a lifetime achievement

award through Hawaii’s Living Reef Awards Program.

Another keynote speaker is famed longdistance paddler and Kai Makana founder Donna “Kahi” Kahakui of Oahu. A longtime friend and colleague of Bernard, she lent Kai Makana’s motto, “E Ola Ke Kai, E Ola Kakou,” (As the ocean thrives, so do we) to this event.

Iokepa Naeole rounds out the trio of main speakers; all share a belief that traditional ecological knowledge can serve as a contemporary management tool. Naeole has taught hundreds of youths hands-on ocean knowledge through Hawaiian Canoe Club and the Hui Malama Learning Center.

He currently serves as naturalist and cultural specialist at the Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua, via the Jean-Michel Cousteau Ambassadors of the Environment program.

Bernard hopes to make this much more than a one-time event. She envisions it more as an initial sharing of awareness and understanding, a call to support those who are already doing the important conservation, educational, scientific and cultural work both on land and in the ocean.

LC Watch

Saving the sea takes work.

“What we’re doing is real grassroots community work,” says Bernard. “It’s generated by them, it’s about them and it’s for them. This really is about empowering livable, sustainable communities.

We are actively trying to secure the future that will work for us all.” he genesis of More Fish in the Sea as a community-based planning model came about six years ago, when Bernard and fellow marine biologist Ann Fielding interviewed some 40 Mauians about threats to the near shore waters and coastal lands, and possible strategies to mitigate them. The study, contracted by the Nature Conservancy’s marine conservation program, found consensus among a broad spectrum of community members that a rapidly growing human population was dramatically impacting coastal and ocean resources.

Threats to coastal lands and waters included overfishing, stream diversion, land use practices associated with shoreline development, pollution, marine recreation/tourism and inefficient resource management and planning.

T

MDA’s efforts began in 2006, so they’ve met with defeat before.

But the group—which is really just two guys, Anthony Simmons and Ramoda Anand, and their pro bono attorney, Lance Collins— will press on.

It’s impossible not to admire their tenacity. In the face of unrelenting indifference from the LC and the courts, they remain undaunted.

“I’m a dancer, and I feel this is important for the community as a whole,” said the wheelchairbound Anand after the ruling. “It’s absurd that you don’t have the right to dance.”

Collins said Cardoza made “an error in judgment” and promised to file an appeal. But he also called the ruling “no great surprise.” After two years of wrangling, the group has an air of wry acceptance—clearly they care about the issue, but they also seem to see the grim humor in it.

see FEESH, page 10

Seeing the humor is good. Because as long as the Maui County Department of Liquor Control gets to tell people where they can and can’t tap their toes, it’s either laugh or cry.

FEESH: continued from page 9 The report, “Maui At the Turning Point,” also cited key priority objectives from the Pew Ocean Commissions Report, released in the same year. That study and others since have documented an 85-90 percent decline in populations of predatory fish in the world’s oceans, an unprecedented and catastrophic shift.

One of the recommended actions in the Pew Report was endorsing a strategy of local resource councils, a method as viable for protecting Hawaiian waters as the greater oceans of the planet.

The executive summary of Bernard and Fielding’s study stated: “The need for a sweeping movement toward replenishment and remediation was uniformly established. Interwoven or underlying all recommended strategies for mitigation and remediation is the need for a cohesive education and awareness campaign….Continued community action and...management will be key in determining the fate of Maui’s near shore lands and waters.”

tices to restore balance to our oceans, two large open ocean aquaculture ventures are being proposed off the Big Island.

Raising fish in ocean cages has been tried in many locations, including Hawaii, with varying degrees of success.

Frequently, impacts and costs outweigh benefits or profits.

Kona Blue Water Farms has an existing operation, raising kahala (yellowtail or amberjack), which they have trademarked as “Kona Kampachi.” Two years ago they moved their corporate office from Hawaii to California, to be closer to their markets.

(They sell to restaurants and purveyors in more than 30 states). They have also expanded to La Paz, Mexico.

Kona Blue is now seeking to modify its operation by installing larger fish pens, which the company says is necessary to keep the business alive. They have released a draft supplemental environmental assessment after revising a similar request from 2007 that was contested on leasing ceded lands and on grounds of insufficient environmental data.

Kona Blue stated that their existing net pens are prone to algae “biofouling,” which they say makes cleaning more difficult and can compromise fish health. A West Hawaii Today article noted that Kona Blue is “also working to engineer a new species, which may increase profits.”

A designer’s rendering of large ocean “aquapods.”

The company claims they will have to cease production in Hawaii unless the application is granted. “The investors in Kona Blue cannot continue to put money into an operation that is not profitable, and that offers no potential for future profitability,” said the same article, quoting the environmental document.

Concurrently, a new venture proposed

by Hawaiian Ocean Technologies seeks to lease 247 acres of ocean off North Kohala to raise ahi (yellowfin and bigeye tuna) in 12 huge, untethered Oceansheres, with production aimed at 6,000 tons annually. That makes the overall production 48 times larger than the Kona Blue operation. It’s projected to require 1,000 tons of fish food each month. Target markets are primarily Japan and the Mainland.

Commercial fish food often requires large inputs of fish and fish oil, derived by culling bait fish from the sea. Hawaii Ocean Technolgies anticipates using up to 85 percent non-fish proteins, such as soy meal, but doesn’t say whether those would come from genetically modified crops or what the impacts on other sea life may be.

The proposed Oceansphere submerged cages would not require mooring to the ocean floor, but would employ a dynamic positioning system by employing ocean thermal energy conversion, exchanging cooler deep water with warmer surface water. According to the environmental notice, published February 23 by the Hawaii Office of Environmental Quality Control (OEQC), the enormous enclosures would thus be “self-powered.”

The posting states that, “Oceanspheres don’t present any potential entanglement concerns for marine mammals and sea turtles. Ongoing water quality monitoring, and management plans for marine mammals, sea turtles, and sharks and emergency management will ensure regulatory compliance.”

By crowding many fish in one enclosure, there is greater risk of parasites or disease running through the entire population.

These diseases could then be spread to wild fish populations through accidental escapes. Additionally, a variety of chemi-

cals may be introduced through feed, including antibiotics, vaccines, growth hormones and algicides and fungicides.

Food & Water Watch (F&WW), an advocacy and watchdog nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., has tracked aquaculture operations and impacts in a variety of locations. While noting a number of unanswered questions about the untested Hawaiian Ocean Technology ahi fish farm proposal, they state that “similar fish farm projects worldwide have caused problems for habitat, wild fish, water quality, and the economies of local communities.”

Already contracting work in Hawaii for education and outreach, F&WW is sending a fish campaign organizer to attend the More Fish in the Sea gathering on Saturday. Their goals include spreading greater awareness and encouraging public participation in the process before the deadline for official comments on both proposals, due before April 7.

When asked about the two fish farming proposals and their potential impacts, Bernard said we are “enamored with grandiose schemes to manipulate nature.”

“What they are proposing is radically altering the natural ecosystem to maximize profits,” she added. hile aquaculture likely will play a part in replenishing fish stocks in our waters, it makes sense to proceed with caution. Native Hawaiians devised an aquaculture system unique among Pacific Islanders, and restoration efforts are underway to revitalize historic fishponds on Maui and Molokai.

Noelani Lee Yamashita, executive director of Ka Honua Momona on Molokai, has been guiding reconstruction work on three ancient fishponds over the past two years on that island’s south shore. She also will be present on Saturday to share their experiences, challenges and successes.

Dedicated efforts like those on Molokai offer a clear example of how establishing a subsistence management zone may be the best way to ensure a prosperous future— by looking to the past. MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25 According to an e-mailed press release that arrived in my inbox moments ago (nestled between an intriguing solicitation from a Nigerian prince and an offer to participate in something called a “webinar”), Gov. Lingle has joined a “bipartisan infrastructure coalition” modestly dubbed Building America’s Future. Other prominent governors in the group include Michael Bloomberg of New York and Arnold Schwarzenegger of Cahleefohneeah.

Great, wonderful, peachy. Gotta love those bipartisan coalitions and their puffy PR releases. (Also: yes, of course, infrastructure is important.) But here’s the thing that caught my eye, a quote from Lingle near the end of the release: “The ability to move goods and people quickly and safely around the state helps keep our quality of life high and our cost of living low.” Wow, our cost of living is low? Good news!

THURSDAY, MARCH 26 I parse the civil union vote on page 5, but I’ll use this space to re-print a rhetorical nugget from Lt. Gov. and 2010 gubernatorial candidate Duke Ainoa. Quoted in an AP story, Aiona said the vote was “a victory for traditional marriage.” What are these people so afraid of? That “the gays” will exchange rings and start filing joint tax returns and suddenly Jesus will descend from the clouds and annul all heterosexual nuptials from here to Armageddon? Same-sex civil unions do not affect “traditional” marriage (whatever that means) in the slightest. They don’t. Seriously.

FRIDAY, MARCH 27 Last week I weighed in on HR875, also known as the Food Safety and Modernization Act. For those just joining the conversation, it’s a bill up for consideration in Washington that opponents say is tailored for ag giants like Monsanto and will hurt small and organic farms. The bill was introduced by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat, and is supported by many other Democrats, including Hawaii’s own Rep. Mazie Hirono. So naturally, the Dems have initiated a full-court press. I got a release from Rep. Hirono’s office via Maui County Democratic Party Chairman Lance Holter today that outlined supposed myths about the bill. I’m not going to go through it pointby-point; if you care about this issue (and you should) you can find plenty of detailed info elsewhere. Suffice it to say: there does seem to be a bit of unwarranted hysteria surrounding the legislation, sparked by some exaggerated claims made in the blogosphere. The world will most likely not end if HR875 becomes law. Also, the connection between Rep. DeLauro’s husband, Stanley Greenberg, and Monsanto looks to be weaker than was initially reported, though there’s a weasely little sentence in the Hirono release that says Greenberg “has not conducted surveys for Monsanto in the past decade.” Meaning, of course, he did at one time conduct surveys for Monsanto. All that aside, there’s one undeniable fact about the bill: it adds another layer of federal bureaucracy, headed up by another “czar.”

(Seriously, when was the last time we appointed a czar of anything and it turned out to be good? Even the Russians ditched that outmoded title.) If you think piggybacking a second agency on top of the FDA is the answer to our nation’s food safety concerns, maybe you should support this bill. If not, probably not.

skegs.” So we’re not dealing with a case of capricious discrimination (though asking bus drivers to eyeball those exact dimensions at a glance seems a tad unrealistic).

But here’s the real question: with the visitor industry hurting, do we really want to be telling tourists looking to vacation on the cheap that they can’t ride the bus with their bags? Of course, the counterargument is that it’s no fun for locals to ride a crowded bus full of suitcases poking into the aisle, and that visitors can find alternate transportation from the airport to wherever they’re staying, drop off their bulky luggage and ride the bus to their hearts’ content. Honestly I see both sides; mostly I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up. If you ride the bus, it’d be a good idea to check out those rules. (Another example: you can only bring on one “band instrument” per person. So next time you find yourself holding two flutes and needing to get somewhere, call a cab.)

SUNDAY, MARCH 29

Got an interesting tip yesterday from Brennan Purtzer, former publisher of the Molokai Times. Purtzer, who now lives on the Mainland, returned to the isles for a visit and got something less than a warm welcome. After trekking with his rolling suitcase from the airport to the Queen Kaahumanu Center in Kahului, he attempted to board a county bus for the final, uphill leg of his journey to Wailuku, but was told his bag was too big. Adding insult to injury, Purtzer says two young men behind him carrying boogie boards got to hop right on. I called Don Medeiros in the Department of Transportation to find out what was up, and he pointed me to a list of rules posted on the department’s section of the county Web site (co.maui.hi.us). The pertinent rule allows passengers to bring on “one medium-sized suitcase, duffle bag, or carry-on bag…no larger than 22”H x 14”W x 9”L.” Another rule allows “soft body boards without

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Aloha Airlines’ demise. Thankfully everything has been worked out during the past 12 months and now there are no more problems related to inter-island travel.

MONDAY, MARCH 30 Speaking of which: Hawaii Superferry announced that the Alakai left Honolulu

Harbor over the weekend and began a nearly 8,000-mile journey that will take the vessel through the Panama Canal and up to Mobile, Alabama. A statement from the company said the move is to “position [the Alakai] for future employment.” It’ll be interesting to see what the nature of that employment is.

TUESDAY, MARCH 31 Five weeks after hearing oral arguments, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision today in the ceded lands case. Their ruling in a nutshell: the Apology Resolution does not affect the right of the state to sell or transfer some 1.2 million acres of land owned by the Hawaiian monarchy at the time of the 1893 overthrow, land Native Hawaiians say is rightfully theirs. It’s being painted as a big victory for state officials. And it is—sort of. Now the matter will head back to the Hawaii Supreme Court, which previously blocked the sale of any contested land until the dispute is settled. Native Hawaiian advocates are obviously hoping the state court will issue a similar ruling, but this time not cite the Apology Resolution, which is how this all became a federal question in the first place.

So long story short: the battle is far from over. The only thing today’s ruling tells us for sure is that the Apology Resolution was just that—an apology (some might say a hollow one) and nothing more. MTW

everal times a week, while jogging through my north Kihei neighborhood, I pass two adjacent houses. The scene is familiar: single story, truck, a few bikes and some kids’ toys in the driveway, a small yard surrounded by a chain link fence. And behind the fence, a dog.

When I jog past, the first dog charges, barking frantically, hair up and teeth bared. On my initial encounter with him (and the evidence between his legs clearly shows it’s a him), I crossed the street and ran faster. I’ve since learned he can’t jump the fence, though it’s not from lack of effort.

Temperament-wise, the second dog is the exact opposite. When he isn’t lounging lazily in the shade, he’ll sometimes plod over to the fence and look at me pleadingly. Occasionally I stop, reach over and scratch behind his ears, and he shows his appreciation by flopping over and grinning, purple tongue lolling out of his comically wide jaw.

Different as they are, the two dogs have one important thing in common: they’re both pit bulls. That means both would have been illegal to own if SB79—a bill brought up for consideration during the current legislative session that passed its first reading but has since been quashed—had become law.

The bill’s language was strong. It sought to make “owning, possessing or selling a pit bull” a misdemeanor. For the purposes of the bill, “pit bull” is broadly defined as “an American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, a Staffordshire bull terrier or any dog displaying the majority of physical traits of any one or more of those breeds.”

The public reaction was equally strong. Pit bull owners and breeders across Maui and the state held rallies and lobbied lawmakers to put a swift end to SB79. Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, who introduced the bill, said she did so at the behest of a constituent. Few people spoke out in favor of the legislation once it was introduced, but plenty spoke out against it. Gina Ursua of Maui’s Pure Breed Kennels— one of over a dozen kennels on-island—organized a sign-waving event in Kahului where more than 150 pit bull owners and their supporters held up photos of their beloved pets. On Oahu, Sen. Fred Hemmings told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin that “dogs have

become part of the family, and taking away part of your family would be a serious intervention.”

That doesn’t mean pit bulls are universally loved.

Deserved or not, they have a reputation for aggressiveness, which is supported by some statistics. In Hawaii, where pit bulls are sometimes referred to as the “unofficial state dog,” attacks by pit bulls on other dogs and humans occur virtually every year.

If SB79 wasn’t the solution, what is? And, more to the point, do we even have a problem?

“Blame the deed, not the breed” is a common mantra among opponents of breed-specific legislation.

Humans, they argue, not dogs are the real culprits when a pet goes bad. he attacks tend to come suddenly. Take the case of a Wailuku man who was sitting in his living room watching a basketball game last April when two dogs, a pit bull and Labrador mix, came crashing through his screen door. The 70pound pit bull grabbed the family dog, a miniature dachshund, in its powerful jaws. “Blood just went everywhere,” the man related to The Maui News.

While attempting to rescue his dog, the man was bitten on the arm.

Other accounts are similarly harrowing. In 2003, a 5-year-old Kihei boy was playing in the yard when a mixed male pit bull jumped the fence and attacked, biting the child repeatedly. In 2002, a 2-year-old boy was at his babysitter’s house in Pukalani when a dog that was tied to a tree sunk its teeth into his neck and head. The most recent fatal mauling documented in Hawaii occurred in October 2008 on Oahu. A 2month-old infant in the care of her great-aunt was

attacked and killed by the aunt’s dog. Neighbors described the animal, which was euthanized, as a pit bull, though it was termed a “mixed breed” by officials, according to the Star-Bulletin.

Of course, these examples—and others like them— are relatively rare. Most dogs don’t attack people or other animals, and human fatalities are extremely uncommon. But is there a correlation between the attacks that do occur and certain breeds?

The advocacy organization DogsBite.org thinks so.

Describing itself as “a national dog bite victims group dedicated to reducing serious dog attacks” through “common sense laws,” DogsBite.org compiles accounts of dog maulings as well as dog bite statistics.

The site highlights “legislation that targets specific breeds due to the unique dangers posed by them.”

To bolster its claims, DogsBite.org cites a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Association in 2000, which found that about 60 percent of fatal dog attacks were committed by either pit bulls or Rottweilers. There’s also a survey of press accounts between 1982 and 2007 by the organization Animal People, wherein 77 percent of all attacks and 73 percent of fatal attacks were attributed to pit bulls, Rottweilers or “wolf hybrids,” with pit bulls leading the pack. hose numbers are certainly attention-grabbing, but some say they’re unreliable and potentially misleading. One of those people is Jocelyn Bouchard, Executive Director of Maui Humane Society (MHS).

Bouchard acknowledges that pit bulls are “powerful animals,” and can be dangerous when not trained and handled properly. But she says blaming the breed is the wrong approach for a number of reasons.

First, Bouchard argues, breed misidentification is common. People hear pit bulls are prone to attack and so they believe an aggressive dog must be a pit, when in fact it’s a Lab or something else. Bouchard also says that pit mixes can be more hazardous than purebred pits. Combine the strength of a pit bull with a breed like a heeler that can be “mouthy” and prone to nipping, she says, and you’ve got a higher likelihood of problems.

T

But whatever the statistics do or don’t say, Bouchard has one firm belief: a breed-specific ban won’t help.

“They simply don’t work,” she says, “[because] it’s looking at the wrong end of the leash.” Bouchard says that the “dangerous breed” label has been variously attached to many different dogs through the years.

“It used to be German Shepherds, then Dobermans,” she says, adding that the feared breed of the moment is usually one that’s popular and strong. But that doesn’t make them an inherent menace.

For Bouchard, preventing dog attacks is about educating owners, controlling the animal population and putting severe deterrents and penalties in place for owners of dangerous dogs.

A 2001 report from the Centers for Disease Control comes to a similar conclusion: “Because a dog’s tendency to bite depends on other factors in addition to genetics (e.g., medical and behavioral health, early experience, socialization and training and victim behavior), [other] laws might be more effective than breed-specific legislation.”

Bouchard cites three key factors in dog attacks that have nothing to do with breed: “intact” dogs, especially males (like my jogging buddy); dogs that are tied or chained up and not “properly socialized”; and the presence of children, who are attacked far more often than adults.

Though MHS and its parent organization, the Hawaii Association of Animal Welfare Agencies, strongly opposed SB79, Bouchard says she understands why some are concerned. “We have a lot of empathy for people who have had someone they love— two- or four-legged—get attacked.”

“Pit bulls are fabulous dogs that make wonderful companions,” says Bouchard. “[But] in the wrong hands, they can be a liability.”

The key, she emphasizes, is understanding your dog. For example, Bouchard says pit bull owners should be cautious about taking their pet to a dog park. “They tend to be better with people than with other animals,” she says, adding that another dog might start a fight but that the pit bull will likely be the one to finish it.

The prevailing sentiment among animal rights groups, breeders and politicians seems to be that criminalizing an entire breed is neither fair nor tenable. The answer instead looks like some combination of education, strict leash laws, harsh penalties and, above all, awareness and responsibility on the part of owners.

As Bouchard puts it: “We’re just being people, and they’re just being dogs.” The trick, as ever, is striking a balance between the two. MTW

Pit Tips A few ways to reduce dangerous behavior…

“Pit bulls are fabulous dogs that make wonderful companions,” says Jocelyn Bouchard of Maui Humane Society. The key is understanding your animal.

Get ‘em fixed: Spaying or neutering your pet isn’t just a good way to control the animal population and prevent unwanted puppies; “intact” dogs are far more likely to be aggressive. (Obviously there’s an exception here for breeders.)

Ditch the chain: Though the law and common sense require dogs to be leashed in public, chaining your dog up at home can increase territorial behavior and stunt socialization.

Be careful with the keiki: The majority of dog attack

“

lame the deed, not the breed” is a common mantra among opponents of breed specific legislation. Humans, they argue, not animals are the real culprits when a pet goes bad.

Which raises an interesting question: are there people who actually want their dogs to be aggressive?

On Maui, the answer appears to be yes; you don’t have to look far to find “Beware of Dog” signs hung on gates like a badge of honor or dogs with spiked collars chained in the backs of vehicles, growling menacingly. A tongue-in-cheek letter submitted to The Maui News earlier this year by Ron Sambrano of Lahaina promoted the fake services of “ACME’s Pit Bull Shop,” which offered “all pits…half off” and “a free pit bull sticker for the rear window of your fourwheel drive truck [to] let everyone know you aren’t to be messed with.”

“There are some people who think it’s pretty cool, who are looking for a status symbol,” Bouchard says.

“If their dog isn’t tough enough they’re going to make it tough.”

Bouchard admits that Maui has “pockets of dogfighting,” though she doesn’t think it’s as prevalent as some make it out to be. She says pit bulls are also popular among pig hunters, especially when crossbred with hounds or other hunting dogs.

better with people than other dogs. That doesn’t mean your pit can’t sniff a canine okole or two, but it does mean you should exercise caution and keep a tight grip on the leash (and make sure you can contain your animal) when going to a crowded dog park or popular pet beach.

tor-powered white truck called Ohana Tacos. It was the same feeling Catholics must have when they wake one morning to find the Virgin Mary miraculously imprinted on their breakfast toast.

Operated by a local family from Guadalajara, Mexico, Ohana Tacos is a cash-only establishment in the parking lot of AAAAA Rent-ASpace. They offer handmade food, cooked to order at a price that can’t be beat—$3 per taco.

On this particular evening I walked the short distance to Ohana Tacos from my apartment in Honokowai and found a small crowd

already gathered. In true taco truck fashion, two men were squatted on the cement eating from paper containers. As I studied the menu, Oscar, the spatula-wielding man inside the truck, popped his head out of the pick-up window to tell me his favorite dishes and which salsas to try first. “You like vegetarian?” he asked me.

“I make best vegetarian taco you ever eat.”

While a grilled veggie taco did sound good, I decided to weigh my options. I spotted a large spit slowly roasting thin slices of pink, fleshy pork wedged between a Maui Gold Pineapple top and a Granny Smith apple on the bottom. I’m told this is the sweet al pastor; before I could order one, a woman inside the truck offered me a sample.

One of the more striking things about Ohana Tacos is the use of handmade corn tortillas. Their imperfect shape is indicative of being hand-rolled before they’re fried to a golden brown, and each taco gets two tortillas shaped like oversized softballs. The al pastor taco contains diced pieces of the spit-roasted pork, a pico de gallo of tomato, white onion and cilantro served with a lime wedge on the side. I squeezed the lime across the taco and took one hearty bite with the traditional elbowto-air, mouth agape tacoeating technique.

The sweet, subtle flavor of pineapple comes first followed by the smoky pork bits seared just enough on the grill to give them crispness. The pico de gallo has a mild taste

while the tangy citrus of the lime juice ties all the flavors together.

The chicken taco had a bit more pizzazz.

The meat was shredded finely, almost to a pulp, and formed a sort of mound in the center of my tortilla wrap. Added to the pico de gallo were cheese, grilled bell peppers and onions. Again, I used the complementary lime before biting into a moist and flavorful taco. The chicken was well seasoned and properly cooked, again from a slow roast and flash grill. Every addition to the taco is an effortless match to the meat. I gulped the whole thing in four bites.

Going 2-0 on the tacos, I tried the more adventurous-yet-traditional Mexican taco of lengua/tripas, which translates to tongue and stomach, as in a cow’s. Before you say “ewwwww,” think about what kind of meat is in a hot dog.

The miscellaneous cow parts have obviously been ground into a hamburger-like patty and then grilled. The taste was what I expected, a smoky beeflike flavor. However, the mushy texture threw me off and it didn’t take long before I was eyeing the salsa bar.

Oscar told me his favorite salsa is the “green one,” even though none of them are spicy enough for his palate.

Apparently his sister makes all three salsas at home. When I looked inside the truck for his

Maui girl gone big Anuhea is helping to put Hawaii on the national music map magine, among the chaotic desert, among the saturated streets, the clubs teeming with tequila sound and amplifier fury, among the musical microcosm that is Austin, Texas in mid-March, an oasis.

Anuhea New album: Anuhea (release date, April 21) Web site: anuheajams.com

It would likely be on some rooftop, with palms and flowers and other things that sway. Its soundtrack would feature balmy, catchy tunes and sultry vocals strung along golden melodies.

It would be analogous to Hawaii, in its innate and complex beauty.

Maui girl Anuhea’s tunes would be a fitting sonic component of such a scene.

Just ahead of the release of her first full-length studio album, which hits shelves April 21, Anuhea, who has opened up shows for the likes of Jack Johnson and Matt Costa, was among the wildly diverse cast of musical acts that descended upon Austin for this year’s South By Southwest (SxSW) Music Conference.

“It was amazing,” she says of the experience, which got her some crucial face time on a scene that’s tough to break into.

“Playing South by Southwest legitimizes us.”

She and her band were part of the official conference, for which they played the festival’s Hawaiian night at Submerged, where they shared the stage with John Cruz and One Hawaii Music label mates One Right Turn.

“That’s pretty hard to do,” Anuhea says.

While a number of bands get booked in Austin during that week, few are part of the official showcase.

She and her band—which consists of guitarist Vince Esquire, keyboardist Michael Grande, bassist David “Wolf” Wolfberg and drummer Shawn Pimental—

went on to play makeshift “luau” shows at Roy’s Austin and even did a few rooftop gigs at the Whole Foods flagship store.

“I’m really excited to put Hawaiian music on the map,” the fiercely independent singer-songwriter, who now resides on Oahu, says.

But fashioning a sound containing a balanced blend of her Maui roots with her own musical vision is a challenge, she says.

Her vocals are the obvious centerpiece of her work, which one would expect from someone so heavily influenced by rhythm and blues. Hers is a sound you would hear live in tiny, candlelit, martini and velour nightclubs. It’s a sound that seamlessly folds her influences—reggae, Hawaiian, acoustic folk—into one cohesive, velvety ribbon. It’s an exponentially amiable sound, but by the same token it’s a sound that doesn’t take many risks.

Those who’ve gotten their hands on her first release will notice a striking difference between it and her latest. The latter is much more heavily produced. There’s a full band backing her up and some of her

tunes are accented with record scratches and other turntable flourishes.

She recorded it at Angel House Studios in Los Angeles under the auspices of One Hawaiian Music Producer Drew K., who Anuhea says gave her “a sonic identity.”

Anuhea’s latest will be available at Borders, on iTunes and at Request in Wailuku. She’ll also be throwing a CD release party on Maui in early May. MTW

MAUI’s BEST SUSHI

BY KATE BRADSHAW KATE@MAUITIME.COM

So Saudi [BOOK] GIRLS OF RIYADH RAJAA ALSANEA This is the kind of novel that you don’t buy. Rather, this is the kind of novel that someone passes to you after a conversation about feminism or global politics. An Australian girl who was passing through Maui handed me the copy I’m currently reading. Girls of Riyadh is promoted as Saudi Arabia’s answer to Sex and the City. I disagree, partially due to my hatred of Sex and the City, and partially because of this novel’s inherent and profound sociopolitical subtexts. Sex and the City makes a statement; I’ll give it that. But Girls of Riyadh, in content and by the very fact that it exists, embraces the most egregious of Saudi society’s taboos. The narrative unfolds through a series of anonymous e-mails, which chronicle the love and sex lives of four upper-class Saudi women, all college-aged. They are often bold in their defiance of social constraints, going as far as cross-dressing in order to go out unchaperoned and taking down cell phone numbers of men they don’t know. The Saudi government banned this book upon its 2005 release, but its English language version is now available nationwide in the kingdom. I imagine I’ll be passing this one on to another young lady with whom I cross paths in the future.

[BAND] THE ACCOLADE The above-mentioned titles demonstrate the countless restraints Saudi society has placed on women, but there is one thing that they are free to do: rock. All-girl Jeddah-based band The AccoLade rocks hard despite the fact that none of its members can legally drive a car. According to a November 2008 New York Times article, the band has to rehearse in secret and cannot play public shows. They’re heavily pierced, but have to cover their faces with scarves when they go out. They wear their abayas (the long, flowing robes Saudi women are required to wear outside the house and when men are present) open to expose the t-shirts and jeans they’re wearing underneath. Their MySpace page does not feature any photos of the band, and only one of their songs, “Pinnochio,” is posted. The tune is heavy and dark with deep female lead vocals. The lyrics are sung in English. While The AccoLade defies the brutal patriarchy that aims to confine women, they are also inadvertently helping to dispel myths about Saudi society by way of their fame. For one, they reveal their identities, as, contrary to what one might think, it is not illegal for women to play music within the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

[BOOK] PRINCESS JEAN SASSON This anonymous true account of life as a female Saudi royal is less Sex and the City than Cool Hand Luke with palaces, jumbo jets and no car-washing scene. The first of a trilogy, the book follows the story of “Sultana,” the Saudi princess who dictated the events of her life to journalist Jean Sasson. Aside from a few small victories and despite the most conspicuously lavish of lifestyles, it’s not pretty.

Upon reaching adolescence, Sultana is forced into a life of servitude and becomes “a slave to the whims of her male masters.” While Sultana fights to escape her “gilded cage,” she sees her female friends and relatives fall victim to abusive husbands, brothers and fathers. The father of one teenaged girl, for example, drowns his daughter in his own pool upon finding out that she went out unescorted and made out with a guy. Some women are forced to marry abusive men three times their age, while others find themselves with “liberal” husbands who respect their wives’ “autonomy.” Whatever the case, this is obviously the kind of book that should make us appreciate the freedoms we do have despite the fact that the U.S. remains a patriarchy.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY BARRY WURST II BARRY@MAUITIME.COM

Round we go Gleefully stupid, unoriginal action flick almost bad enough to be good n my youth, I remember seeing lines that stretched all the way around the Maui Theater in Kahului (which no longer exists) for the latest Steven Seagal or JeanClaude Van Damme bone-crushing, head-bashing extravaganza. It didn’t matter that most of these movies were

I

12 Rounds

★★★ ★★★ Rated PG-13/108 min.

dumb and featured even dumber acting.

There was nothing cooler than watching Seagal take down a bad guy with his bare hands, or seeing “The Muscles from Brussels” roundhouse kick some terrorist in the face.

I felt a similar thrill a few years ago when I saw WWE wrestler John Cena in his debut film, The Marine, a stupid but epically over-the-top movie that has become something of a cult classic.

After the first few minutes of 12 Rounds, Cena’s second film, I felt worried—the filmmaking was sharper and the movie seemed too generic and not outrageous enough. Until we arrived at the part where Cena uses a boat to stop a bad guy in a getaway car, and I heaved a sigh of relief.

The plot rips off Speed to an amazing degree, with whole scenes from that Keanu-on-the-bus classic recycled in their entirety. There are also steals from Last Action Hero, Die Hard and Terminator 3, to name a few. Director Renny Harlin established himself as one of the best action filmmakers in the ‘90s with The Long Kiss Goodnight, Cliffhanger and Die Hard 2. However, he hasn’t made a great action movie in 10 years and isn’t working at the top of his game, though he can still stage serviceable explosions and car chases.

Cena, who resembles Mark Wahlberg crossed with a Doberman Pinscher and a Greyhound bus, isn’t a terrible actor. The movie could’ve been much better had they pitted him against a great villain.

Time for some subtle diplomacy.

Unfortunately, Aiden Gillen, playing a terrorist with a personal vendetta, is a snoozer. Everyone onscreen talks about how evil this guy is, but the only truly rotten thing he does that I found unforgivable is eat a vanilla ice cream cone, then throw it away without finishing it.

You may not want to pay full price for this one, but really, movies this gleefully stupid and unoriginal are rarely this much fun. 12 Rounds may be indefensible and play best on either an airplane or

afternoon cable, but darnit, I had a big grin on my face almost the entire time.

There are few things in life funnier than watching Cena running after a villain, particularly when he’s chasing a car, nostrils flaring and arms pumping like he’s about to take flight.

Had the filmmakers cast someone who could gnaw at the scenery in the bad guy role and lowered the script’s IQ by two points, this could’ve been something special—like The Marine 2! MTW

Starts Friday (April 3), 7:30pm, Steppingstone Playhouse, Queen Ka‘ahumanu Center, Kahului

No struggle better encapsulates the ongoing battle between creatives and the squares who fear them than the one that pitted John Lennon against the federal government.

The 2006 documentary The US vs. John Lennon documents the government’s (namely the Nixon administration’s) harassment of and attempts to undermine Lennon, whose activism in the ‘70s threatened to initiate real change. The Maui Community College Peace Club is screening the film, which chronicles Lennon’s transition from Beatle (I am the Walrus?) to solo musician and activist for various causes, especially the antiwar movement. The movie doesn’t really delve into the less savory aspects of Lennon, such as his “lost weekend,” but it does heavily document the paranoid attempts to undermine his efforts and deport him (I am the Walrus).

Much of what they tried to do was absurd, Ashcroftian and at times outright scary, and from this film we can extrapolate what their methods may be three decades later. Plus, it’s got a soundtrack that cannot fail, given that it’s loaded with Lennon compositions (I am the Walrus). Free.

APRIL 02, 2009

Even in good times the work of John Steinbeck is an absolute joy to read. But in tough times his fiction strikes a stronger chord, given that much of his writing centered on the impacts of the Great Depression. The Grapes of Wrath, which opens this weekend, follows the Joads, a family that flees their fruitless Dustbowl Oklahoma farm on the promise held by an advertisement enticing them to move to California and become migrant workers. In spite of their hope for prosperity and new beginnings, they end up unable to make it. They face illness, corporate denial of workers’ rights and brutal conflicts among migrant workers. Now, this doesn’t parallel most people’s contemporary experiences exactly, but themes like disillusionment, powerlessness and corporate greed should resonate pretty damned well with those whose salaries are in the bottom 98 percent of the income ladder. The show runs through April 19, with performances at 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday and 2pm on Sunday. For tickets call the Maui Academy of Performing Arts at 2448760 ext. 228. $16.

The good fight

Friday (Apr. 3), 5pm, Market Street (Between Main & Vineyard), Wailuku

Saturday (April 4), 5pm, War Memorial Gym, Wailuku

First Friday has certainly been stepping up its game lately, which is greatly appreciated by those who work in close proximity to Market Street. This month has an especially dynamic set of offerings. On the heels of the release of Remember the Technicolor Dreamboat!, former Maui Time editor Anthony Pignatoro will be on hand to talk story and sign copies of this colorful collection of his writings. With the help of illustrator Ron Pitts of Eh Brah! fame, Dreamboat paints a nuanced, twisted and altogether strikingly beautiful picture of Maui from the perspective of one of the island’s most irreverent and meticulous journalists. Across the street, The Eazy will be shaking Cafe Marc Aurel to the foundation with its innovative brand of uke-centric rock. And down the street the Iao Theatre is putting on the Ultimate Singles Night, an Iao benefit featuring Erin Smith and the Throwdowns, a silent auction of date-oriented items, a manicure station, an Ocean Vodka martini bar, passed pupus by Bev Gannon and, of course, a chance to bid on dates with attractive local celebrities. (Admission: $40.) I may be leaving a few things out, but it will be a most excellent installment of this monthly event.

DAY

There are two types of events that are guaranteed to pack any venue on Maui: mixed martial arts fights and reggae shows. Combine the two and you’ll reach capacity at virtually any spot on-island. This weekend’s Fight for the Children event will feature MMA fighters BJ Penn, Kendall Grove, Troy Mandaloniz, and Justin McCully. Dominic Ah Nee and Maka Watson will square off in the main fight, which essentially makes this a Maui vs. Hawaii island showdown. Local reggae outfit Inna Vision opens. All, as 100 percent, of the profits benefit the Neighborhood Place of Wailuku, an organization founded by ultimate fighter Geno McCarthy that aims to prevent child abuse and neglect. Prior to the event BJ Penn will be signing autographs, at Quiet Storm in Lahaina (from 12-2pm) and Local Motion at Queen Ka‘ahumanu Shopping Center (from 3-5pm).

The Cellar 744 rounds out the evening with a post-fight party/fundraiser featuring Kendall Grove. Find tickets at 808 Nalu, I & I Gym, 1320 Performance, Crater Cycles, Da Kitchen, Request, Hana Hwy. Surf, Ku‘au Store and Neighborhood Place of Wailuku. $30/$35 door.

BONUS PICK They be breachin’, mon Every Wednesday through May 6, 5pm, Maalaea Harbor Another thing that can be paired with reggae music for guaranteed results is a vast quantity of marine mammals, preferably whales. Oh, and booze. Ahab aside, whales have factored into regional mythologies (coastal ones, anyway) for millennia. Their appeal is obvious yet profound and intangible; it goes beyond the fact that most of them won’t eat us. On a recent Wednesday I checked out Pacific Whale Foundation’s weekly Reggae with the Whales sunset cruise, which features Maui reggae impresario Marty Dread. The boat was absolutely packed with tourists (the volume was somewhat surprising in light of recent stats) as well as residents. The evercharismatic Dread sang his (and Bob’s) tunes over pre-recorded instrumental tracks (OK, I can see the challenge of bringing a full band onto a boat this size), getting the pastiest, knee-sockiest on board to dance. The mai-tais flowed, and up top the scenery was phenomenal, aided by the kohola, the megaptera novaeangliae, the Hawaiian humpback whale.

This cruise runs Wednesdays through May, when the whales head for cooler waters. Call PWF at 249-8811 ext. 1 to reserve. $49.95.

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) No deception is as dangerous and embarrassing as self-deception. Keep it real, even if it’s inconvenient or wounds your pride. Don’t pretend to be an expert if you’re not. You can walk around the used car lot kicking tires all day but the only person you’re really fooling is yourself. Trust me on this one. Admit and accept where you at and what you know (and what you don’t). Being a poser won’t get you a better car; it’ll just give the guys at the lot a chance to unload a lemon, and a funny story to tell over dinner.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) After a weekend working in the garden, I’m sore. I used a lot of muscles that hadn’t gotten much exercise over the winter. It’s uncomfortable but it also feels good, at the same time. Follow my example.

Spring is pretty much the perfect time to get the old machinery back in gear. If you haven’t yet, start things up this week and make sure you work out the kinks (and endure the inevitable sore muscles) now, while you can still afford to. You won’t want to take the time out to rest up later—so make things easy on yourself and get your ass in gear today.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Quit being so wasteful. Half of what you throw away—literally and figuratively—could still be repurposed in some useful and relatively easy-to-implement way. For example, composting all the organic remains of your food would not only cut down on the sheer volume of the trash you send to the landfill, it would also result in excellent soil you could use to grow your own plants (in a window box herb garden, even). The specifics of your current situation don’t particularly matter; there’s not only a way to reduce the amount of waste you produce, but to actually transform it in a fashion that will actually enrich your existence.

Crying over spilled milk would be silly, but still less silly than what you’re doing now. At least the milk is real and made a real mess. What you’re mourning is purely theoretical or downright imaginary, was never yours to lose, and was never going to be. Quit bemoaning the fact you don’t have it; that’s a waste of time. If you want to feel sad about the fact that you never had a proper chance, that’s your business— but I still suggest you’d be better off pursuing the things that are actually within your reach, rather than weeping about the crap that’s hopelessly beyond you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Why so stressed? You may just be taking too much on, or simply not giving yourself a break. What would you give to ditch the worst burden you’ve been bearing? That kind of emotional slack should be worth quite a bit. This week you have the amazing chance to eliminate one of the top two consistent sources of stress and anxiety in your life. You may have to throw some money, shade, or hard work (or all three) at the problem to make it go away, but being rid of it is well worth it, so don’t hesitate.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Picture a one-room hut. A shack. Four walls and a door. It’s as simple as could be. You probably wouldn’t normally give it a second glance. What’s to see? What’s not obvious at first is that it sits atop a labyrinth of caves that would be impossible to fully explore or map. Such is a relatively new person in your life—at first glance almost painfully simple, but further investigation could reveal that they’re one of the most profound and complex people you’ve ever known. Don’t dismiss them, at least not before you’ve had a chance to check if there’s more to them than meets the eye.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Clinginess is terribly unattractive. Take pains to eliminate any hint of it from your interactions (especially but not exclusively your romantic ones). If you find yourself making puppy dog eyes at someone, desperate for their affection, you need to cool it, fast, or you’ll end up getting even less of the attention you’re so hungry for. Puppy dog eyes are barely cute on a puppy. On a human they have an adorability half-life of 2-5 minutes—at which point whoever you were directing them at will probably start running from you as if you were radioactive.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) That might be the Virgin Mary burnt into a piece of toast, but it’s probably not. Your dream may have been prophetic, or it could have just been a random amalgamation of crap from your day-to-day. Beware of anything smacking of religious epiphany or grand dramatic realizations this week. You might just be getting carried away. You’re especially likely to perceive things that aren’t quite there right now, or imbue things with profound and fascinating meaning they don’t especially deserve. Sometimes it really is just a coincidence. Turn up the volume on your skepticism, or risk letting your own overactive imagination take you places you probably don’t need to go.

You have so many great ideas, but hardly any of them ever get translated to the real world. They just live briefly in your head and are frequently forgotten before you ever decide to do anything about them.

While it’s probably true that many of them were never fit for anything beyond an idle flight of fancy, a few at least might have amounted to something if you’d given them the chance. Start making a habit of developing all of your ideas, just a little more than you have so far. Take them at least one step out of your brain, just to see if they could survive there. You may be surprised at how many of them easily take on lives of their own.

The number 13 is notable and significant in many cultures and traditions, frequently associated with either very good or very bad luck. You could probably write a thesis on the history and origins of such beliefs, but the bottom line is: such things are so subjective. They also inspire almost fanatical devotion at times. Don’t take someone else’s word that something might be bad or good for you, just because it was for them (or because they’re so emphatic or enthusiastic). Your luck is your own, and actually completely unconnected to anyone else’s. Trust your gut, not someone else’s fervent avowals that you’re headed for trouble (or fortune).

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) I hate gimmick art. A movie or book or sculpture that uses some cheap attention-getting ploy to get people to pay attention to it will never rank highly in my book. I’m drawn to quality. You can tell a fascinating story about anything if it’s told well (indeed, one if my favorite TV shows, Friday Night Lights, is about football, which is one my least favorite subjects). Forego gimmicks and tricks when trying to get your point across. Instead concentrate on just telling your tale with heart. That’s all it will take to make people want to listen to it.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) You’re almost like that old lady who lived through the Great Depression and still thinks a quarter ought to make a nice tip. To say you’re not quite in tune with the current value of your efforts is an understatement. However, the good news is that some of you, at least, are under-valuing them. Stop accepting the equivalent of a quarter for what should be netting you much, much more. There’s no need to be greedy, especially not in these lean times. But there’s also no need to deliberately rip yourself off. Make sure you get at least something close to what you’re worth.
