With the recent publication of the cover story “Bad Chemistry” [June 18], Maui Time continues to demonstrate that they are poor guardians of the independent truth necessary to propagate the intelligent arguments that separate the polar ideologies that currently dominate our political landscape.

Ms. Bradshaw’s synopsis of the documentary A Sea Change and its explanation of the mechanisms leading to ocean acidification and it’s potential consequences contained a very poor analogy and overlooked a crucial part of the ocean modeling necessary to make good predictions about the outcome of decreasing ocean pH. This flaw in the discussion will only serve as ammunition for the global warming deniers. The “tooth in coke” analogy readily illustrates a gap in knowledge that is extremely detrimental to the conservation cause. Coke has a pH of 2.8—acidity in the order of 100,000 times that of seawater. It’s like comparing vinegar to pool water and it doesn’t further the discussion. We need to create arguments based on sound, fundamentally accurate science in order to generate sympathy for this AGW-related issue. The acidification/ocean pH discussion deals primarily with an ocean-only model and neglects the effect of increasing water temperature. A recent study by IPCC 4th assessment expert reviewer, Dr. Ben McNeil, demonstrated that when both the climate feedback and C02 model issues are considered, by 2100, coral reef coverage could exceed that of the pre-industrial age, primarily due to the decreasing effect of C02 on the saturation state of CaCO3 based on the increasing sea surface temperature. In a nutshell, pH continues to decline but its affect on the availability of CaCO3 is mitigated by the change in sea surface temperature. Quite different from the bleak barren landscape prophesized by Ms. Bradshaw. Even when considering the phenomenon of coral bleaching, which some experts attribute to a rapid increase in SST, the red sea and other 90F SST environments teach us that the 250 million-year-old coral reef system is much more robust than we as guilt ridden homo sapiens can possibly fathom.

Hoegh-Guldberg paper, “Rates of change in global temperature and [CO2]atm over the past century are 2 to 3 orders of magnitude higher than most of the changes seen in the past 420,000 years.

Rates of change under both low and high Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emission scenarios are even higher, as are recent measurements of the rate of change of [CO2]atm.” 3) Warming SSTs should not be seen as an ameliorating factor for coral reefs. Mass coral bleaching events have already resulted in massive mortalities on coral reefs (e.g., 1997-98 bleaching event). Even in the Red Sea, which experiences high fluctuations in SSTs, bleaching events have been reported. It is also critical to remember that these changes are not occurring in a vacuum. Climate impacts on reefs are exacerbating the other local and human threats (e.g., pollution, development, overfishing, declines in water quality), which have caused declines in many reef systems worldwide.

BURNING THE STRAW MAN Re last week’s letter about the solar telescope on Haleakala [“Culture wars,” June 18]: What a great straw man you’ve created, of the “typical” Native Hawaiian who litters and asks for a handout. Talk about a cliché! Most of the people who oppose this telescope are not ignorant or backward-looking. The people who were quoted in Maui Time made eloquent arguments based on significant cultural/spiritual concerns. You should learn to listen, as we all should.

Gennifer Goodwinn, Haiku

THE AUDACITY OF ’SCOPE Talk about a misplaced priority! The starting price tag for the proposed new telescope on Haleakala is reported to be about $170 million in federal funds [“Trouble in the House of the Sun,” June 11]. How about using that money to restore Maui’s native forests, rescue our endangered birds and plants from extinction and restore natural cloud formation over Maui for the water we need to sustain life? I say turn the ’scopes we already have up there inward in search of intelligence on Earth.

Tony Povilitis, Makawao

I know, I know—this is supposed to be a place to blow off steam. But this time, I want to say mahalo to the two young ladies who allowed me and my daughter to use their paddleboard today at Launiopoko. I have always wanted to try, but the cost of the board is just not a reality for us, nor is even the very reasonable rental rate. We had a great time and learned something new.

Your aloha and island spirit is one that many more should have.

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD BEARD SCIENCE At the biennial World Beard and Moustache Championships in May in Anchorage, Alaska, four local heroes “defeated” the usually dominant German contingent in the 18-category pageant, including overall champ David Traver of Girdwood, Alaska, whose woven chin hair suggests a long potholder. Said Traver, of the Germans, “They were humble, and you have to respect that.” One defending champ, Jack Passion of Los Angeles, fell short with his navellength red hair, despite having authored The Facial Hair Handbook after his 2007 victory. Traver acknowledged that no money was at stake (only trophies and “bragging rights”), but added that there are “a lot of ladies” who fawn over men’s facial hair. “Seriously, they exist.”

pond. Lead researcher Marian Stamp Dawkins concluded that ducks basically just like water. (2) According to research announced in May by pediatrics professor Jennie Noll of the University of Cincinnati, the more often that teenage girls tart themselves up in online presentations, the greater the sexual interest they provoke.

DESPERATE TIMES (1) Among the assets for sell-off listed in the May bankruptcy filing of Innovative Spinal Technologies of Mansfield, Mass., were nine human cadavers—eight of which had already been used for research.

(2) In May, Ichiro Saito, a professor of dentistry at Tsurumi University, publicly warned that as many as 30 million Japanese workers overstressed by the economy are suffering from such severe dry mouth that the country might be experiencing epic halitosis.

DANGEROUS BREEDERS

FAMILY FEUD

(1) Thomas Frazier, 42, was jailed in Flint, Mich., in April after his unpaid child-support tab reached $530,000 (14 children with 13 women). He told the judge that he was only trying “to find someone who would love me for me.” (2) The total tab of Desmond Hatchell, 29, of Knoxville, Tenn., was not reported at his May court appearance, but the judge questioned him sharply about payments from his minimum-wage job. Hatchell has 21 kids by 11 women, but told WLVT-TV, “I didn’t intend to have this many.”

When Christina Vanderclip dropped by the house of her former boyfriend, Travis Schneller, in Greeley, Colo., in June, they soon began to argue. According to police, Travis hit her and pulled her hair, then Travis’s mother jumped on Christina’s back and pulled her hair, then Travis’s younger brother Michael and father, Robert, jumped on Christina, too, hitting and choking her. Christina managed to escape, and police, after a 10-hour standoff, entered the home and arrested the entire Schneller family.

THE WEEK

Think the future looks bleak? Well reality’s got nothing on the dystopian wasteland of killer robots, natural disasters and total, balls-out anarchy envisioned by Hollywood. For an overview of what the world would be like if filmmakers ran the universe, peep this timeline, created by cartoonist Dan Meth, that lays out the years in which a bunch of futuristic films were supposed to take place. Escape From New York (1997) and 2001: A Space Odyssey (uh, 2001) are already in our rearview, while in the next decade we can expect Kevin Costner to unite the fragments of humanity (The Postman, 2013) and a cyborg police officer to crack down on crime (Robocop, 2015). Sadly, a Harley-riding porn star president (Idiocracy, 2505) will have to wait. - JS Find it at… danmeth.com

Budget bust

Faithful readers, part I

California and Hawaii define issues, cope with changes y friend, who works for the city of Oakland, California, stood in the area that was once his front lawn.

The late afternoon sun warmed the cocoa husk mulch covering his totalmakeover landscaping project, producing an aroma like brownies baking in the oven.

What, I asked, does the city do about something like this, gesturing to where a street tree’s root had heaved up the sidewalk three or four inches.

M

home in pajamas and look for jobs on the Internet.”

With his proposal to lay off 5,000 state workers, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger seems destined to keep his “Terminator” reputation.

Among those are 2,000 park rangers, biologists, lifeguards, interpreters, architects and maintenance workers, all jeopardized by a recommendation to cut $70 million from the state parks budget. That would necessitate closure of 220 of 279 parks, including Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe and Humboldt

Local food and energy production have been heralded by Maui’s elected leaders, but so far little has come of the talk—aside from Mayor Tavares tootling about in an electric car.

“At this point,” he replied, “we let them trip over it and then sue us.”

His answer (later recanted, when he acknowledged that a sidewalk repair program exists, but “takes quite a while”) was indicative of the feeling of economic desperation in California, which hit 11.5 percent unemployment last week, the nation’s highest, according to a Monterey Herald headline story. Oakland’s Public Works department alone saw an 18 percent cut in jobs. Hawaii, meanwhile, is turning to work furloughs rather than layoffs.

The Golden State’s $24.3 billion budget shortfall makes Hawaii’s $700 million deficit look like chump change, though in addressing potential cuts, both states are showing about as much finesse as one choosing to open a china shop in Pampalona.

As a recent New York Times editorial put it, “The governor [Linda Lingle] announced the most drastic furlough program in the country.

She’s closing state offices three days a month, for two years. Aloha Friday, where people go to work in aloha shirts and muumuus, is going to be Furlough Friday, where they stay

Redwoods State Park, home to the world’s tallest tree.

California parks attract an estimated 80 million visitors annually, and a State Parks Foundation official believes that the state receives $2.35 in return revenue for every dollar spent on parks. A Ventura County Star article stated that California legislators were reviewing a $15 vehicle park entry fee tax proposal that reportedly would help avoid layoffs or offset the parks budget shortfall.

awaii’s Recreational Renaissance bill, similarly proposed to prop up state park funding, failed to garner approval at this year’s legislative session. Lingle’s plan, however, would have relied upon $240 million in bonds to help fix Hawaii’s aging parks and harbors, paid for in part by user fees to non-residents at eight popular parks, and increased harbor slip fees.

State officials still believe there is merit in charging tourists to enter state parks, citing the increased visitor numbers at Diamond Head, even after bumping up charges to those entering the state monument. But objections were voiced statewide that fees levied at specific parks (Makena and ‘Iao were selected for Maui) should be used to improve those facilities, not spirited away to fix other parks.

With more than $111 million carved from the Department of Land and Natural Resources budget in fiscal 2009, it’s uncertain how State Parks and other divisions will cope.

New rules for commercial activities within Maui County parks geared to “strike a better balance” of park users could backfire by causing yet another blow to the sagging tourist industry. Some believe that limiting the number of vendors allowed to teach surfing, scuba, windsurfing, kayaking and kite boarding, and the number of park locations where such activities are allowed, is one more nail in small, local businesses’ coffin.

Recently, the Maui County Council backed down an ordinance that would have prohibited the largest big box store outlets from obtaining permits to build or expand. The Council’s waffling came after heavy lobbying from certain businesses, including WalMart, which flew in corporate representatives from the Mainland to help plead their arguments.

H

see BUDGET, page 10

LC Watch There’s a tricky thing about this column. Our purpose is to shine a light on the LC, but in the process we sometimes end up inadvertently burning the victims of the department’s capricious oversight. Because of this, while we periodically get tips from bar and club owners about stuff the LC has done to them, or threatened to do, they rarely want their names used for fear of reprisal.

Their fear is well-founded. In 2007, Director Frank Silva admitted that “we do pay attention to your paper.” That quote was in response to a rumor that Tip Ups Tavern and Grill had caught heat for a story that ran in Maui Time. The piece, titled “Booty Money,” was about a dance contest. Contributor Heidi King wrote that one of the participants “was wasted,” though in the next sentence she added: “Well, I hope she was wasted because she looked like a whore.”

At the time, Silva said the bar wasn’t in any immediate trouble, but hinted that stories like that one pique the LC’s interest (overserving is one of their favorite things to bust venues for, right after selling to a minor decoy).

And it’s not just our editorial content they peruse. In June 2008, this column noted a couple instances of liquor-serving restaurants being cited for using shortened versions of their trade names in Maui Time advertisements, which is a violation of the LC’s rules.

Late last year, we got multiple reports from establishments that run ads in this paper that they were being targeted for nitpicky language, some of it relating to Halloween costume contests. In most cases, the law is technically on the LC’s side. But that doesn’t mean it’s right, or a good use of government resources.

Anyway, all that is a set-up to a recent tip we received, about how an entry in Maui Time’s Da Kine Calendar put an event on the LC’s radar.

Tune in next week for details.

Now, more than two years after the closure has put hundreds of operators out of business, new draft permits and rules would require a transient vacation operation in a neighborhood to pay the same property tax rate as hotels, or nearly four times the residential rate.

Such onerous, punitive, anti-business measures are hard to comprehend, especially against businesses that are islandbased and not linked with large corporations. Just a few days ago, I was walking down the streets of Carmel, California, where residences and vacation rentals coexist peacefully, side-by-side.

lenges. The state now ranks 50th—dead last—in per capita spending for education.

And you thought Hawaii’s public school system was behind the times. The California legislature did, however, recently reject Gov. Schwarzenegger’s plan to lop another $700 million from the education budget. o a degree, each state’s budget woes are the result of decreased return from property taxes. As home values decline, tax revenues follow. The San Francisco Chronicle recently reported that thousands of Bay Area residents will receive notices this summer that their property taxes are being cut because of plummeting real estate assessments. Such valuations generally are based on recent sales. But,

All those proposals, however, have been voted down by California Republicans, or vetoed by Gov. Schwarzenegger.

California voters also turned back four ballot initiatives that would have increased taxes in one form or another to help address the budget shortfall.

Hawaii’s representatives passed a measure this year—House Bill 1271—that levies a dollar surcharge on each barrel of imported petroleum, setting aside an estimated $30 to $40 million each year to fund clean energy projects. Additionally, about one-third of the funding will be used for a new program to support local food production, another of our major imports (currently, 85-90 percent of food

The county’s punitive, anti-business measures are hard to comprehend, especially against businesses that are island-based and not linked with large corporations. given a dearth of transactions, could Maui County follow suit in lowering property tax rates?

The biggest question at hand is how to compensate for the changes wrought by a sagging economy and diminished revenues. Among the suggestions made in California are taxing each barrel of oil extracted, increasing alcohol and tobacco taxes and restoring a higher income tax

consumed in Hawaii is flown or shipped in). The bill is currently on Gov. Lingle’s desk, awaiting her signature.

Many have touted the opportunity to reduce our dependence on imports, especially with rising oil prices and shipping costs, and to return to a simpler model of local-based economies. Local food and energy production have been heralded by Maui’s elected leaders, but so far little has come of the talk—aside from Mayor Tavares tootling about in an electric car.

On Monday, U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie offered advice to Hawaii residents and officials on how to utilize federal funds for “green jobs.” Rather than high tech solutions that might only benefit a few venture capitalists, Abercrombie believes moves toward energy efficiency and independence can be made using simpler, existing technologies and resources.

As much as $620 million may be available to Hawaii through federal stimulus funding, much of it in block grants for energy upgrades and conservation.

Abercrombie stated these clean-energy investments will help create as many as 7,000 jobs throughout the islands.

If those projections are on target (with apologies for the between-the-lines reference to another big box chain), there may yet be an awakening to the new paradigm of local sustainability. Hawaii deserves that. MTW

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17 The Great Furlough War of 2009 rages on: As various labor unions filed lawsuits, the head of the Hawaii Government Employees Association, Randy Perreira, released a statement calling Gov. Lingle’s cost-cutting move “unfair” and “unconstitutional.” Lingle’s counterpunch? If you defeat the furloughs, I’ll issue layoff notices—as many as 10,000 of them. The law is murky, meaning the governor’s right to go unilateral and circumvent the collective bargaining process is open to interpretation. One thing is clear: Lingle may be a lame duck, but she’s still quacking.

THURSDAY, JUNE 18 Yes, the bad lame duck jokes are gonna keep coming ’til 2010.

FRIDAY, JUNE 19 By now you’ve surely heard that, according to a widely disseminated report by Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper, North Korea is planning to launch a missile in Hawaii’s direction, possibly on July 4. Though it’s believed the missile’s range is insufficient to reach us, military officials and the Obama Administration say they’re preparing contingencies just in case. And we’re left to wonder: is North Korea really trying to instigate an armed conflict with the United States? Are they that crazy? The North’s motives are shrouded in mystery, but ailing “Dear Leader” Kim Jong Il is reportedly planning to hand the reins to his youngest son,

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

Kim Jong Un, in the near future. At a time when the country could appear weak and rudderless, the Kims (who have held onto power since the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was born) are trying to project an air of strength and defiance. So goes the theory. Anyway, whatever the impetus behind the North’s posturing (and whatever the outcome) one thing is certain: there will be a lot of wild rumors and hysterical misinformation floating around. To be jittery is natural; to be alert is wise. But remember: verify reports— especially those from less-than-credible sources, aka a text message from your friend’s sister or the mumblings of some dude at the bar—before you go scrambling into your makeshift bomb shelter, arms laden with canned goods… In other, related news: Seizing the opportunity to press the hot button and revive an evergreen Republican issue, Gov. Linge is making noise about ramping up missile defense spending. Never mind that more than $100 billion has already been spent on missile defense, and groundbased interceptors have been deployed to Hawaii and Alaska. Or that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates (a Bush era holdover who is certainly no dove) said, in a June 17 AP report, that “some of the program was wasteful or unrealistic.”

Hey, “wasteful and unrealistic”—wasn’t that our foreign policy slogan for the last eight years?

SATURDAY, JUNE 20 Last week we told you about mounting tension between Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls Rep. Neil Abercrombie and Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann.

Well, the other side’s got infighting of its own. That Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona is the odds-on favorite to earn his party’s nomination is no secret, but his opponent, attorney John Carroll, says Aiona’s front-runner status has translated into a near coronation, with little or no separation between the Hawaii Republican Party headquarters and Duke’s campaign war room. Carroll’s campaign manager, Eric Ryan, isn’t pulling punches. “We’re all supposed to be Republicans, playing fair and honest,” Ryan told the AP. “But if they’re going to cheat, they’re going to pay.” As a party stalwart and Lingle’s boy, the smart money’s on Aiona to get the nod. But it’s always nice to see a politician bloodied early in the fight… In other news: The term “senseless killing” gets thrown around a lot, to the point where it’s lost some of its meaning. Either all killing is senseless, in which case it goes without saying, or certain killings are especially senseless, in which case we should reserve the phrase only for those instances. Anyway—that bit of linguistic parsing was a set-up for one of the more disturbing stories of the year: according

to the Honolulu Advertiser, someone shot two monk seals to death on Kauai; one of the seals had recently given birth to pups. Monk seals are, of course, extremely endangered (their population in the Hawaiian Islands hovers around 1,000, though they’ve been making a small comeback) and harming or killing one can land you a hefty fine and prison time. But forget that—what the hell is the point? Especially if you’re just going to leave the poor beasts to rot (and serve as evidence)? Really, this is the sort of thing that saps my faith in humanity.

SUNDAY, JUNE 21 Yet another casualty of the recession: A program that helped current and former inmates put their lives back together through treatment, education and training (you know, that often-ignored “rehabilitation” part of the equation) is being gutted because of budget woes. The program, which goes under the acronym BEST and is an offshoot of Maui Economic Opportunity (MEO), will have to lay off more than half its employees and dramatically scale back services, according to a recent Maui News report.

Finding victims in these lean times is easy; almost everyone has been impacted in some way. But it’s always worse for those on the bottom of the heap—people who have, through bad luck, bad decisions or some combination of the two, found themselves teetering on the brink of the proverbial cracks. Nothing new, but still, as MEO chief Sandy Baz succinctly put it, “sad.”

MONDAY, JUNE 22 Want to tell Gov. Lingle what to do? OK, it’s more suggest what you’d like her to do—but still. It’s participating, which is good. Here’s what I’m blathering about: applications are being accepted through June 30 for positions on the Neighbor Island advisory councils, which are meant to bring non-Oahu perspectives to the table, especially on energy issues.

Maui, Molokai and Lanai each have a council. For info, Maui folks should call 243-5796 or send an e-mail to mauigov@hawaii.gov c/o Governor’s

You’re not king, Duke.

Liaison George Kaya; if you’re on Molokai or Lanai, call 586-0034 or e-mail charen.ching@hawaii.gov.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23 According to a report in today’s Honolulu Advertiser, state officials are fighting to bring liquidation proceedings in the Superferry case to Hawaii. Where are they being held, you ask? Delaware.

That makes sense when you remember Delaware is a known corporate haven; more than half of publicly traded U.S. companies are headquartered there, including Hawaii Superferry. The First State (how’s that for a nickname?) has lax usury laws (hello skyrocketing interest rates) and charges no income tax on companies that don’t do business in the state. Under federal law, corporations are bound—for the most part—only by the laws of the state in which they’re incorporated, even if they expand their reach to all the other 49 states. So basically, Delaware, which has about 100,000 less residents than Honolulu, gets to set the rules for the rest of us, and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it, except, I guess, move to Delaware.

Isn’t democracy great? MTW

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

f our calculations are correct, you’re reading the 500th issue of Maui Time Weekly.

Those 500 issues have been produced over a 12-year span dating back to 1997; during that time, the paper has gone through a lot of growth and change. One thing that hasn’t changed? Our independence.

Being independent isn’t always easy. Often, it means we’re swinging without a safety net. At the same time, it means we can swing pretty hard and pretty high. As a recognized alternative weekly, part of our job is to take aim at Maui’s rich and powerful, to expose corruption and malfeasance and, hopefully, to inform and protect our readers in the process.

Have we ever regretted something we’ve written? Sure. Do we sometimes look back and wish we could change a story? Of course. But in all, we’re pleased with the work we’ve done, even as we’re acutely aware of the work that’s left to do.

As we prepare to launch our next 500 issues—and to keep growing, innovating and embracing cutting-edge technologies, just as we’ve done with pdf and digital formats, podcasting and microblogging—we’d like to pause and look back at a few stories we’re especially proud of. In some cases we were the only ones willing to cover a certain aspect of these stories, or to cover them at all.

Thanks for your support, input, criticism (constructive and otherwise) and for helping us remain a truly independent voice.

FLIPPER BEHIND BARS (vol. 4, issue 7) The story: In September 2000, the County Council approved a project slated for North Kihei. Dubbed Maui Nui Park, the facility was to include a “lagoon” boat ride, a luau amphitheater, a wedding chapel and educational exhibits on Hawaii-related topics like volcanology. Oh, and giant tanks for four performing “research” dolphins courtesy of the Oahu-based Dolphin Institute. “The dolphins, though less than 100 yards from the ocean, will likely not see, taste or smell it,” wrote Maui Time contributor Cynthia Matzke. “They will be surrounded on three sides by heavily used roadways, in arguably the island’s worst traffic intersection.”

The aftermath: According to Councilmember Jo Anne Johnson, the initial draft of the project had nothing to do with dolphins, which is why the council approved it at first.

But after the “dolphinarium” was added to the plan—and an onslaught of public outcry ensued—the county passed an HSD ordinance barring captive display of cetaceans.

“Nobody wanted it,” said Johnson in a recent interview. “Nobody supported it.” After the ordinance passed, Johnson said the council got letters from all over the world thanking them for the bold move.

ACCESS DENIED (vol. 4, issue 12) The story: It’s home to two well-known West side surf spots, but management at the waterfront Puamana condo complex decided to crack down on surfers cutting through the area to access the beach. Contributor Nicole Chipman reported on confrontations

JUNE 25, 2009

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

between surfers and security guards at the complex, and questioned whether the property owners were honoring state beach access laws. “All of the beaches in the state of Hawaii are public property up to the vegetation line,” she wrote, “though many resorts have planted a vegetation line of their own and thus extended the perimeter of their property.” Puamana even constructed a gate across the complex’s main entry in an attempt to make it clear that outsiders weren’t welcome. “They act like they are afraid,” said surfer Wayne “Wayno” Cochran. “They might as well get barbed wire and gunners to guard their property.”

The aftermath: As contributor (and surfer) Beau Ewan’s Febrary 2008 story, titled “What’s happening to beach access?”, clearly demonstrates, the issue is still very much alive. Ewan mentions getting yelled at by security when he tried to access the spot.

However, Ewan wrote, “Paumana PUD (Private Urban Development) is currently listed in the Maui County 2005 Shoreline Access Report’s inventory of public shoreline access points. The only problem is that surfers somehow have to pass through locked gates and harassment from security personnel before making it into the lineup.”

PAY TO PLAY (vol. 9, issue 9) The story: In August 2005, The Maui News ran a prominent front-page story titled “She Craves a Normal Life” about Iraq War veteran Jessica Lynch. The writer of the piece acknowledged that West Virginia-based Ogden Newspaper Group, which owns The Maui News and many other publications, paid for Lynch’s travel expenses. That this was a bald-faced violation of journalistic ethics may have been lost on Maui’s daily newspaper, but it wasn’t lost on Maui Time editor Anthony Pignataro, who wrote: “Behold: The Maui News is now a travel agency! Who cares that Lynch hasn’t been news for over a year—we’ll fly her out here at our expense and then just write a story about that.” Pignataro went on to quote Maui News publisher Joe Bradley, who said he hoped “that Jessica’s trip will be seen as a tribute to all of those in the military who have served in the Middle East.” Concluded Pignataro: “In other words…Ogden Newspaper Group…paid Lynch to fly to Maui so its papers could then write a big story about her that would generate a lot of publicity about what a great a company it is.” Pignataro’s piece was picked up by prominent journalist and blogger Jim Romenesko.

THE SORDID TALE OF BOB AWANA (vol. 10, issue 51) The story: In June 2007, Maui Time contributor Greg Mebel chased a story, based on an anonymous tip, involving Gov. Linda Lingle’s Chief of Staff Bob Awana, a mysterious Filipino woman named Jullie Mae and an Indian man named Rajadatta Paktar, who was thrown in a Honolulu jail for alleged blackmail. It was a juicy scoop that no other Hawaii papers seemed to be touching. In the story, Mebel interviewed Charudatta Paktar, the brother of the jailed man, who said Mae was called on to “entertain” Awana and other state officials when they visited the Philippines.

Wrote Mebel: “When I asked if this included sexual entertainment, Chardutta said, ‘Yes.’” Mebel also spoke to Awana, who refused to explain why he was the target of a blackmail scheme. “When I asked for a copy of the emailed blackmail or letters from Jullie Mae, Awana declined,” wrote Mebel, “saying he’d ‘turned all of that over to the FBI.’” The aftermath: Less than 24 hours after Mebel contacted Awana, the Honolulu Advertiser ran a front-page story titled “Lingle’s top aide helped FBI sting.” The story didn’t discuss the reason for the alleged extortion or any wrongdoing on Awana’s part. Gov. Lingle called on Awana to resign “immediately” in light of the blackmailing issue and another, unrelated corruption investigation. Then on July 5, 2007, the Honolulu StarBulletin picked up the story. Connecting the dots between Mebel’s reporting and the Advertiser story, the Star-Bulletin ran an op-ed calling on the governor “to explain why Awana’s resignation was necessary ‘immediately’ last week but not when, according to Awana, she learned about the allegations more than a year ago.”

MAUI’S ONLY LOCALLY OWNED INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

A DUI IN THE LC (volume 11, issues 43 & 46) The story: Even casual readers know that Maui Time keeps tabs on the county Department of Liquor Control in our column, LC Watch. It’s a lonely beat, and our criticisms of the department’s rules and procedures often fall on deaf ears. But LC Watch got concrete results in early 2008. James Viela of Wailuku had just been tapped by Mayor Charmaine Tavares to serve on the Liquor Commission. Viela had previously served on the LC’s Adjudication Board from 2000 to 2004. Digging through the criminal justice database, editor Pignataro discovered that Viela was arrested for DUI in March 2005 and subsequently plead no contest to the charge. Noted Pignataro: “It’s unknown whether the County Council or Mayor Charmaine Tavares knew (or cared) about Viela’s DUI when she nominated him to the Liquor Commission. There is no space on the official application form for prior criminal convictions.”

The aftermath: Two months after starting his five-year term on the commission, Viela resigned. He cited “personal reasons,” though he admitted to Pignataro, “I resigned when your article came out in the paper.” But the case was about more than Viela. As Pignataro pointed out: “[A]nyone applying for a liquor license needs to disclose any and all criminal convictions ‘other than a minor traffic violation,’ but those on the Liquor Commission who approve all new licenses do not.”

NISHIKI GETS A LOAN (vol. 12, issues 22 & 23) The story: One of the most heated races in the 2008 election was the South Maui County Council scuffle between Wayne Nishiki and Don Couch. The two men traded frequent barbs, with Nishiki painting Couch as too developer-friendly and casting himself as an independent voice with no ties to the island’s big business interests. In a Maui Time interview conducted two weeks before the election, Nishiki told us he hadn’t “taken any money from developers,” adding, “No developer is going to come into my office. I’m sorry, that’s not how I operate.” In the end, Maui Time endorsed Nishiki, and he went on to a narrow win. Then, less than three weeks after the election, new information came to light: according to an ethics form filed months after the deadline, Nishiki accepted a $100,000 personal loan from developer Everett Dowling while out of office. We

broke the story, and the following week rescinded our endorsement, writing: “It should never come as a surprise when a politician is shown to be less than honest. But we believed what Nishiki told us—and more important, what he told the people of Maui.

He let us all down.”

The aftermath: The loan revelation set off a firestorm of criticism, especially from Couch supporters, and caused Nishiki supporters to circle the wagons. The county Board of Ethics launched (and recently concluded) an investigation into the issue. The contents of the board’s findings are sealed—but Nishiki remains in office and will almost certainly serve out his term. The real test of his reputation will come if he decides to seek reelection.

SINKING THE SUPERFERRY (vol. 12, issue 38) The story: The Hawaii Superferry was a frequent target of criticism in these pages, both because of the dubious circumstances surrounding its launch and serious questions about its operation and financial viability. The issue came to a head in March, when Rob Parsons wrote a feature titled “Superferry Progress Report.” Parsons gave the vessel grades in a number of areas, including: environmental safety/protection (“D”); government integrity/accountability (“D”); and, wise use of taxpayer’s money (“F”). The story concluded: “The infusion of large amounts of capital to bolster HSF by CEO John Lehman…has led many to believe he is less interested in seeing HSF succeed financially and more interested in doing a test run for the prototype Joint High Speed Vessel program. It is widely believed that Lehman’s investments in shipbuilding could be the principal reason for his involvement in promoting FREE HSF, as an awarded Pentagon contract to construct the aluminum-hulled JHSV fast-catamarans could be worth billions of dollars.” The story was picked up and disseminated by blogs from Oahu to San Francisco.

The aftermath: On March 16, less than a week after Parsons’s story appeared, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled that Act 2—the special law passed by the legislature and signed by Gov. Lingle that allowed the Superferry to operate without a completed Environmental Impact Statement—was unconstitutional. The ruling shut HSF down, despite protests from Lingle and other officials (and a number of Hawaii residents who supported the ferry). New developments in April bolstered Parsons’s assertion that HSF was put in the water with ulterior motives. As editor Jacob Shafer noted in an April 7 Coconut Wireless entry: “[I]n November the Defense Department awarded a contract to build high-speed military transport ships to Austral USA, the company behind...the Superferry!…[CEO Tom] Fargo offered a telling ‘no comment.’ Which brings us to this juicy nugget from the Press-Register of Mobile, Alabama, new home of the Alakai: ‘Industry analyst Tim Colton said the military is a natural fit for the ferries, now adorned with colorful swimming manta rays. ‘Any day now, they’ll be painted gray,’ Colton said.’”

SOMETHING IN THE WIND (vol. 2, issue 3) We’ve been focusing on political issues, but that’s not all Maui Time is about.

Especially in the early days, a huge part of the paper was dedicated to covering the local entertainment and water sports scenes. In the summer of 1998, contributor Dave Sweedler predicted the popularity of kite boarding when most media outlets didn’t even know it was a sport: “For years, people have migrated to the Valley Isle to chalk out new ways to test the boundaries between man, wind and water,” wrote Sweedler. “This is the [dawn] of kite surfing.” Sweedler acknowledged that old school surfers would resist the new sport, just as they resisted wind surfing and other newfangled trends (and just as some today decry standup paddle boarding). But, in the end, he wrote, “We are soon to see a new wind blowing.” MTW

The aftermath: The prescience of Pignataro’s critique was revealed in March 2006, when Ogden was again accused of pay to play journalism, this time involving a considerably more powerful player. As Pignataro noted in a Coconut Wireless entry: “Ogden helped pay President George W. Bush’s expenses when he visited [West Virginia] to press the flesh and hold one of his town hall meetings.” The story was also noted by a Washington Post media critic, who called the move a “journalistic blunder.”

In those days of writing

articles on cocktail napkins and delivering papers from the basket of a beach cruiser, the restaurant downstairs was a dusty old joint called Hecocks, where one could often find Holoholo Girl Samantha Campos sipping martinis and collecting fodder for her weekly column.

It’s a sentimental spot. But now Maui Time has spacious new headquarters in Wailuku and, after nearly a year of emptiness, the shiny, new Betty’s has cleared the dust and breathed new life into the location. In fact, the whole 505 center is getting a bit of a facelift after being hit hard by the slow economy. Shops that had closed their doors are reopening, while trendy clothes stores, activity stands, spas and—gasp!—a night club fill the empty spaces.

Leading the way is the enthusiastic Betty’s, where I have been a regular basically since they opened. Wise enough to know they’re in a tough spot

for business, Betty’s came out of the gate offering great happy hour specials, like the $2 margarita, from 2-5pm every day, and bottomless champagne mimosas for $10 every Sunday for brunch. They’re also carrying on an old Hecocks tradition—serving whole Maine lobsters on Wednesdays for less than the price of two movie tickets.

Recently, the boyfriend and I strolled in for dinner. Luckily for me, we arrived on “birthday night,” which happens once a month. Since my birthday falls in the month of June, I was awarded a special table, colorful leis and a whole bottle of California champagne for $1. Happy birthday to me!

From our table we had an unobstructed view of the sun setting dramatically over the ocean and free back row seats to the Feast at Lele luau. The menu is unpretentious; burgers, salads and sandwiches are the main offerings. We started with hot wings, meaty little chicken drumettes with a spicy vinegar sauce and ranch for dipping.

As we were enjoying them the luau started, and we surveyed the crowd of well-dressed visitors sipping their mai-tais while watching a handful of scantily clad dancers perform the hula. For dinner I ordered the mahi mahi tacos. My two tacos came out piled with fresh lettuce and pico de gallo, lots of cilantro, homemade salsa and a side of chili-flavored pinto beans. I offered one up to my boyfriend in exchange for a go at his plate of kalua pork. His generous portion of flavorful pig meat was perfectly salty and smoky, accompanied by tender cabbage and rice. It was a meal that could have come strait from a local auntie’s kitchen.

For dessert we shared a very satisfyingly warm, gooey apple crisp topped with Roselani vanilla ice cream. One of my favorite things about Betty’s is how they do simple things well. They’re not trying to be

the next Hawaiian fusion regional restaurant; there are no poke concoctions on the menu and nothing is macadamia nut crusted, sprinkled with coconut or served with chili pepper water. Everything is casual— the people, the décor and food. Betty’s does-

n’t claim to be something it’s not, but here’s what it is: well worth checking out. MTW Photos: (top to bottom) bartender Jessica and manager Misty; mahi mahi tacos; chicken wings; apple crisp.

County Councilwoman Joanne Johnson played a key role in getting Maui resident and steel guitar veteran Henry Kaleialoha Allen recognized in Maui Nui. A ceremony that took place at the county building this past Tuesday made it official, and this weekend’s Steel Guitar Festival (part of the Maui Invitational Music Festival) will further serve to recognize and celebrate his legacy.

“I’m really honored to even know Henry,” Johnson says. “He’s just done so much to help perpetuate steel guitar.”

In addition to years spent performing in venues ranging from radio (Hawaii Calls) to cruise ships (which he still does to this day), Allen has helped immortalize steel guitar by teaching and writing textbooks.

What makes steel guitar, which was invented in the Isles more than a century ago, different from plain old guitar is that its strings are lifted another half-inch off

When it comes to playing Hawaiian steel guitar as well as ukulele, Allen can literally say he wrote the book. the sonic components to Hawaiiana—evoking images of postwar tourism posters—it may be a dying art form.

Yet some have set out to preserve it, as the designation of June as Steel Guitar Month, among other things, clearly demonstrates. Especially during this week, Hawaiian steel guitar, also known as kika kila, will get its due in Maui County. And so will a vet-

the fretboard. This makes it impossible to play in a traditional manner. It requires a heavy steel slide, which blurs the notes in a most intoxicating manner.

Born in Hilo and raised in the Manoa Valley, Allen started on ukulele in the third grade, but later embraced his signature instrument as well as jazz guitar. Early on, he says, he was determined to learn from the best. At one point this meant choosing Honolulu’s Washington Intermediate over Kamehameha Schools since he favored the former’s music program.

“I made sure that the teachers were good,” Allen says.

“The good school was Washington Intermediate.”

Highlights of his early career include being a frequent guest on Hawaii Calls, an emblematic radio show that ran

from 1935 to 1975, playing the kind of hapa haole numbers that continue to brand Hawaii in the minds of suncreenslathered Minnesotans to this day. Allen got his union card (Honolulu Local 677), which enabled him to play the hotels in Waikiki (there were, of course, far fewer in those days). He then had a stint on the Mainland—namely LA (where the musicians’ union cards read Local 47, he says).

It was in these early days that he was shown the path.

“In your younger years you have to decide what you’re gonna do,” Allen says. “In the musicians’ union you find out who you are.”

He went on to share venues with the likes of Don Ho (Greek Theatre) and George Benson (Castle Theater) and to work in television and film (he says he helped ensure correct pronunciation of the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” in the 1961 Elvis film Blue Hawaii).

He relocated to Maui in 1971. “I liked Maui,” Allen remembers, “because they had no traffic and the beaches were free.”

But it was in producing educational materials where he truly shined—when it

comes to playing Hawaiian steel guitar as well as ukulele, this guy can literally say he wrote the book.

He has transcribed thousands of pages of music into three-ring binders, an epic collection he keeps in his home. “I’m running out of shelves,” Allen says of his everexpanding library.

His two textbooks—one on steel and one on uke—are housed at Johns-Hopkins University’s Peabody Conservatory of Music. “I feel really honored to be there,” he says.

He has already been honored at the state level by both the Senate and the governor’s office, and even has a day named in his honor (April 4). The Valley Isle has recently dedicated the month of June to the man and his instrument.

This comes at an uncertain time for a culture and customs—musical and otherwise—that have been around for generations but now have to compete with influences from every corner of the globe. If Henry Allen has anything to say about it, steel guitar will stand the test of time. MTW

Modest ‘Proposal’ Take one sitcom setup, add two likable stars, mix in a dash of predictable plot twists and serve andra Bullock stars as a hardas-nails publishing editor who terrorizes every employee under her, particularly her longsuffering assistant (Ryan Reynolds), who eventually must pretend to be her fiancée in order to prevent her from

their clean-cut son and his visibly distant, testy boss are head over heels.

This is standard sitcom stuff, with jokes you can see coming minutes away and oneliners delivered with pauses long enough to insert a laugh track. Yet the movie works better than it should because of the performances. Bullock hasn’t been this good in a comedy since the first Miss Congeniality and, while her character is never as terrifying as Meryl Streep’s in The Devil Wears Prada, she underplays it perfectly and is suitably nasty. Likewise, Reynolds tones down his usually smarmy, wink ’n smirk act and is recognizably human, even vulnerable.

Despite some amusing bits, the movie contains what I refer to as the Irredeemable Moment—a scene so bad, the movie can never recover. Where Spider-Man 3 had that musical number, The Proposal has a sequence in the woods in which Bullock encounters Betty White, playing her standard Wacky Grandma role. For reasons too cringe-inducing to divulge, White dons a Native American

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

Nothing like getting fondled by a Golden Girl. headdress and does a painfully unfunny bonfire dance that she coerces Bullock into joining. The movie never bounces back and has a third act that uses every tired romantic comedy cliché in the book.

What makes a movie like Sleepless in Seattle or My Best Friend’s Wedding special is the attention to character and a plot that teases expectations. Here we get a climax Xeroxed from dozens, maybe thousands of other, better screenplays. You can probably read my brief story synopsis, guess how the movie ends and be exactly right.

Though it exceeded my low expectations, the film settles for being decent

when it could’ve been special. It has two leads in their element, gorgeous scenery, the equally gorgeous Malin Ackerman, a handful of really funny moments and the game-for-anything Betty White who, sans headdress, steals pretty much every moment she has, even in a movie this unexceptional.

Bullock’s career has survived awful sequels (Speed 2 and Miss Congeniality 2) and, like Reynolds, she can hold her own in films both deadly serious and laughout-loud funny. She needs to hop onto a better comedy vehicle and not settle for The Next Proposal. MTW

THIS WEEK’S PICKS Slammin’ body

Reggae bomb

Thursday (June 25), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao

Saturday (June 27), 10am-7pm, War Memorial Stadium, Kahului

Body painting is an under-explored and over-sexualized art form. Artist Rachel DeBoer of Fabulous Faces seems to have the market cornered here in terms of paint applied to skin, which is still rather obscure worldwide and unheard of on-island (DeBoer’s “Mona Lisa” is pictured).

Tonight she and the MauiSLAM folks will be forging a dual showcase combining slam poetry with live body painting demonstrations. The body painting portion will be inspired by the slam performances, audience response, etc. Slam poets performing will be competing for a $100 prize. The Liquor Control Commission will probably be disappointed to hear that the canvas (i.e. the model) getting painted will be covering all of her Satan parts with valid articles of clothing while on stage during the demonstration—no areolas or merkins (unfortunately) in this PGrated display. Nevertheless, should be a pretty intriguing and probably very titillating night. Combine with beer and enjoy. DJ Boomshot spins beforehand and between sets. $5.

My Paukukala residence is quite proximal to War Memorial Complex. This means that, if the wind is right, I will wake up Saturday morning to blaring live Jawaiian music. (For my neighbors this will probably be a welcome change from the Zappa I am known to blast.) The source of this island music stream is the all-day First Annual 808 Unite concert, brought to us by KPOA and Waiehu Records. It will bring together some of Hawaii’s biggest musical acts, including Ekolu (pictured), Rebel Souljahz, Maoli, Testifiyah, Kealaokala, 3 Scoops of Aloha and many others. The description for this event on BJPenn.com reads “going be one nutts concert!!!”(all in caps). Promoters say the event aims to help support music in schools, which is a damned fine cause if ever there was one. Find tickets at Super Stop (Waiehu and Kahului), Solid Clothing (Queen Kaahumanu Center), Oceans Bar and Grill (Kihei) and West Side Vibes (Lahaina). $20/$30 door. Free for keiki under 10.

London calling

Save this ass

Saturday (June 27), 7:30pm, Seabury Hall Performing Arts Studio, Makawao

Tuesday (June 30), 5:30-10pm, Flatbread Pizza, Paia

If there were a Facebook quiz entitled “Which heavy-boozing early 20th century author are you?” my result would probably be Jack London. At once a conflicted champion of rugged individualism and a staunch socialist, he was impossible to pigeonhole. The first full-length Hollywood feature was based on one of his stories.

And though he’s best known for penning Yukon tales like The Call of the Wild, London wrote extensively on his travels in the Pacific Isles. He set his last story, “The Water Baby (Keikiwai),” in the Hawaiian Isles. The story was posthumously published in Cosmopolitan in 1918 (good God! What I wouldn’t do to live in a world where effing Cosmo published the short stories of Jack London), and opens with one of the best religious debates I’ve ever read. This Friday the Ebb & Flow Arts Ensemble is staging a multimedia production of “Keikiwai,” which is a most vivid portrayal of Hawaiian life before all this.

Check out the text of this amazing tale at jacklondons.net/water_baby.html. Free.

DAY

The terrible things that humans do to each other have never ceased to amaze me. The fact that our economic system as we know it seems based on people manipulating, lying to, using and abusing one another shows that we value self preservation, or at least comfort, over the well being of others. If individuals have the ability to isolate themselves enough to ruthlessly turn others into means to ends, think about what that implies for sentient beings that aren’t human. Nothing good. But some humans want to make things better for other humans, and even want to help animals. Strange, huh? Flatbread Pizza has been hosting benefits for local nonprofits every Tuesday night for some time now. A portion of proceeds from every pizza bought during peak dinner hours goes to a given nonprofit, as do proceeds from a silent auction held in the bar area. This week Leilani Farm Sanctuary, a Haiku nonprofit that takes in and rehabilitates injured and abused animals, is the beneficiary.

Show some love.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

While it might feel unkind to deprive your fat dog of food, or tell your tone deaf kid he can’t sing, those are actually the kindest things you can do. The alternatives are potentially an early entrance to doggie heaven, or a disastrous televised audition on American Idol. Love, ironically, can look an awful lot like being mean, especially to those on the receiving end. But that doesn’t make it any less loving— in fact, I’d argue that it’s more selfless and generous than anything that also happens to make you look good. Don’t stop yourself from doing the right thing simply because your act of love may make someone hate you. They may never thank you for it. But they sure as hell won’t hate you less or thank you more for not doing it.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

A truth gone astray could be your best friend this week. An email or text sent to the wrong address, while potentially humiliating and dramatic, might also reveal a truth you would never have had the guts to spill otherwise. These things always come out one way or another, and a technological Freudian slip could be the best thing for this particular relationship. Once you’ve weathered the fallout from your little social slip-up, the door to greater intimacy and honesty is wide open. That by itself is worth a lot—certainly far more than the price you’ll have paid.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Even though we like to think we’ve come a long way from our ape ancestors, humans are still quite territorial. We’ve just come up with vastly more sophisticated and sometimes subtle ways to delineate and defend our personal boundaries—which is why sometimes people don’t get the clue. Although these borderline brutes might respond better to you pissing in the corners or growling when they get too close, that’s certainly a bit beyond the pale, and not your style in any case. However, I would suggest, for the benefit of these socially inept cave people, try and make things a bit more obvious than you have so far.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Neighbors can be a blessing or a nuisance. Sometimes the line between the two is so faint that we opt for the minimal contact approach, and treat them like strangers. However, this week is a good time to make connections with the people who share your environs. I know it’s considered totally weird to approach your neighbors in some contexts these days, and your efforts are likely to be greeted at first with some degree of suspicion, but you should do it anyway. There’s no reason you can’t invent your own paradigm for interacting with the people you live close to. Just keep in mind—make yourself more of a blessing than a nuisance, and you should get the same in return.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Some states have Good Samaritan laws, more or less requiring people to do the right thing. I wonder how effective they are; if the only reason you’re going to help someone who needs it is because you want to avoid getting in trouble with the law, there’s something wrong. That, however, shouldn’t be a problem for you Scorpios, who are almost always guided by your own particular moral compasses, regardless of the context. That can often be more of a handicap than a strength (especially if they aren’t perfectly aligned with prevailing thought), but this week it ought to serve you well. Don’t let anyone divert you; once you’ve hit on the right thing you should be doing, do it.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Why make a distinction between snorting and shooting heroin? Really, they’re both pretty extreme.

The line you’re trying to draw between two possibilities—this side is okay and that side’s not—is artificial, arbitrary, and fairly preposterous. Both options are about as bad as each other, and your feeble attempts to legitimize one are transparent. Don’t bother with that. If you want to do something, just do it, without trying to make it seem legit or okay if it’s not. If those ideas are really what’s holding you back, maybe you need to reconsider what you’ve been thinking about doing; it might simply be a bad idea.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

I’m a big believer in mind over matter. Probably, if you could convince yourself it was possible, you could bend a steel bar with your bare hands. It’s the convincing that’s difficult. We’re inclined to believe that such a feat is impossible, that reality is what it is, regardless of how we think about it. It’s not, though—or at least it’s slightly more malleable than you think. I can tell you for certain that you’re capable now of doing one thing you considered completely impossible last year. If you were wrong about that, what else might you be wrong about?

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

People are always making money. When the stock market crashes, some people are raking in shitloads of money. There are people who know how to profit from a recession, or even a depression; some families became filthy rich during the Great Depression. My point is that there is some benefit to be reaped from any situation, regardless of how disastrous it appears to be. Whether or not you are willing to profit from it is up to you; don’t for one second, though, deny that it’s there. Admit to yourself that it’s you keeping yourself from what you might want, not the situation—then and only then can you—at least theoretically—make the decision to change it up.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Brand loyalty should only take you so far. If a company drew you in because it made a quality product, but then (perhaps secretly) downgraded, why should you stay loyal to them? In fact, since it’s a kind of betrayal, you might want to make a point of taking your business elsewhere. Naturally, this lesson in conscious capitalism applies to your interpersonal relationships as well. If the qualities that caused you to invest in someone are no longer there, why should you keep squandering your time and attention upon them? Take your business elsewhere, already.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Being happy is often just a matter of habit. Sure, it takes a great effort of will and conscious perspective to be cheerful in stressful moments, and it’s easy to be joyful when things are amazing. But most of life’s moments are actually fairly neutral. Unfortunately many people have made their default setting sour and disgruntled, or some degree of such. What’s yours? Changing a longstanding ingrained habit isn’t easy, but it’s still possible—this week it would at least be easier than usual. Take this time to begin to shift your default settings a little closer to perpetually happy, since you can.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

The choices you’ve made lately are an awful lot like running to the store for a bottle of chemical fertilizer for your garden, and drenching your poor plants in the stuff. Sure, it might get results, but not necessarily the ones you want. Overall, it’s a poor choice, considering your options. In this case, having a compost heap would accomplish the same intended effect at a fraction of the price, in a way that’s healthier, more sustainable, and more environmentally responsible. If you have a choice that’s just full of win, please choose it, even if it requires a bit more planning and effort. Ultimately, you won’t feel good about settling for anything less.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

There are two main methods of losing weight: eating less and exercising more. Common sense dictates that the most viable and sustainable strategy is a combination of the two—moderate physical activity coupled with a modest reduction of food intake. And yet you are so attached to extreme solutions that you’re unwilling to consider the middle road. I like the fascinating nature of extremes, but arbitrarily choosing them every time has gotten kind of boring, and kind of dumb, too—since the middle road in this case is the best one, won’t you please consider it?
