LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR FOLLOW THE MONEY You do a great job following the LC. It is what I flip to first each week. Every week we are alerted to a different establishment being fined thousands of dollars, sometimes for petty infractions, by the LC. Where does this money go? Who is following the paper trail? I am curious to find out where it ends. Is there an LC savings account building exponentially? Here is food for thought. Instead of paying penalties to the LC, why don’t the “guilty” write checks to Maui School District? Multiple times last week, I encountered volunteers spending hours soliciting school supplies for Maui schools. We are in a sad state when $1B/MONTH goes to fight a war overseas when we are losing a battle in our classrooms. Let’s make a negative into a positive. LC fines for textbooks! Marc Gaskins, Kihei

SURF’S DOWN Re: The recent feature on the surf doc Bustin’ Down the Door [“Waves of Change,” July 31]: This was obviously written by someone not affected by surfing culture. When will Maui Time fully incorporate the voice and talents of the people who are impacted by the

topics discussed? It felt as if the author were completely dispassionate about the topic, surfing, which has easily surpassed the mere boundaries of a pastime or hobby and has entered the realm of lifestyle, especially in Hawaii. Chris Ankele, submitted online at mauitime.com

8 Election ‘0

Summer Starr’s campaign livens Upcountry State House race

Awarded chairmanship of the House Economic Development and Business Concerns Committee at the beginning of his second two-year term, Oahu-born Yamashita appears to have quickly aligned himself with the house leadership. In this year’s legislative session, Yamashita refused to hear Senate Bill 1789, regarding community access channels such as Akaku, even though it had passed the Senate unanimously and he received dozens of messages from constituents urging that he pass the bill. He also failed to advance the revised bottle bill legislation that would have required large retailers to take back redemption items, as is the case in every other state with a bottle bill. Yamashita also drew criticism from political pundits concerned about legislation aimed at allowing large landowners to designate 80 percent of their Important Ag Lands, which many believe could open the door to urbanization or non-ag uses on the remaining 20 percent. In an open-air courtyard café in Makawao, I asked Starr a few questions about her campaign platform. Maui Time Weekly: What prompted you to run for State House, District 12 this year? Summer Starr: I moved back to Maui two years ago after five years on Oahu. I saw that the Maui I had known all my life here was changing very quickly. MTW: How do we revamp the Hawaii education system? SS: Did you know that studies show that just 30-40 hours of one-to-one attention between student and teacher can raise a child’s performance by a full grade? We need more teachers, more teacher’s training, smaller classrooms and a cost of living increase.

MTW: What do you see as the vital issues in your district? SS: Agriculture, water and affordable housing are very interrelated. We face an aging population, and we’ll need to address senior care. We also need to be certain we choose the right path to replace lost jobs in a sagging economy. MTW: What is your vision for a Maui your children may someday inherit? SS: I envision self-sufficiency in feeding ourselves with food grown here. I believe our vital need to shift to renewable energy will open the door for a myriad of good paying jobs. Renewable energy equals jobs, technology, better education and a healthy local economy. We really can be a model for the entire planet. Our task is to illustrate how to retrofit an increasingly urban model to bring it back to a sustainable model. MTW: How would your style differ from that of the incumbent? SS: I will be a voice for the community I serve, not just follow house leadership. MTW: What else would you like voters to know? SS: That it’s very important to vote in the Primary Election! And that I am eager to represent the community where I grew up. MTW WANT TO HEAR MORE? Go to www.mauitime.com for an election podcast.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

very so often in the tedium of election year politicking, a candidate comes along who is capable of re-instilling in the voters a sense of hope in the political process. On the national scene, the youthful exuberance and vision of Barack Obama seems to have generated that sort of optimism. Locally, it appears that Upcountry Maui voters may have a bright new choice to represent them in the state legislature. Summer Starr is the youngest of four children of Hugh and Erin Starr of Olinda. She earned a self-designed Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Hawaii in Protecting Hawaii’s Environment and is now enrolled in graduate school, focusing on sustainable development and indigenous politics. Her goal is to create a template of the traditional ahupua`a system in the context of the modern urban backdrop. After moving home to Maui two years ago, Starr worked with the Hawaii PV (photovoltaic) Coalition to promote renewable energy awareness. She worked on a successful campaign that resulted this year in the Public Utilities Commission upping the percentage of PV energy accepted into the utility grid from o.5 percent to 1 percent. Now, Starr is campaigning for the District 12 (Upcountry Maui) State House seat currently held by Kyle Yamashita. The incumbent is perhaps best known for his energetic roadside waving to morning commuters heading into town along the Hana Highway in the weeks leading up to the election. Only the politically astute may have followed his voting record.

Mr. Green

K it ain’t so

Eco activist Lance Holter takes on the world n order to track down ultra-busy environmental activist, Maui Democratic Party Chair, soccer dad, plumbing contractor, realtor, Akaku TV producer and man about town Lance Holter, I had to meet him at his home in Paia. Lance lives in a hideaway at the end of a narrow cul de sac, on a property that once was a Buddhist church. “This was a healing church,” he told me. “They would do shiatsu and massage in the main dwelling, after walking through the yard and saying prayers at each station.” Holter still maintains the shrines in the yard, which is shaded by the enormous canopy of a grandfather Poinciana tree. I met him in another part of his yard, and grabbed a rake to help him clear mango leaves and branches. “This one here is a mapulehu from Moloka`i,” he said, showing me the large, oblong multi-hued fruit. “They’re kind of rare.” We spent the next hour cleaning his yard, and talking story about the many projects and issues on his slate. Lance has evolved, since his early days as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa in the 1970s, into one of Hawaii’s premier community activists and eco-warriors. He has campaigned for affordable housing, beach parks and alternative energy, has twice run for County Council and was voted Best Political Activist by Maui Time Weekly readers in 2007. Holter brought in the parents of court-martialed U.S. Army Lt. Ehren Watada to speak about their son’s refusal to serve in Iraq on grounds the war and occupation violate our constitution. He has shown films of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, visited the area himself, and hosted native Gwich’in and Inupiat Alaskans to address the dangers of oil drilling in their pristine environment. Recently, he addressed the crux of $140/barrel oil, testifying at a County Council Planning Committee agenda item on high fuel costs. “Everyone’s wondering why we’re having a crisis at the fuel pump nowadays,” Holter began, expounding on a topic he’s often covered on his twice-monthly Akaku public access TV show, Crossroads. “I maintain it’s a direct result of having oil men in the White House, especially with oil corporation profits exceeding record levels quarter after fiscal quarter.” Holter has expanded his essay

Vietnam War correspondent and LA Times journalist Robert Scheer will be on Maui promoting his new book, The Pornography of Power. According to Holter’s press release for two Maui events, it is “a blistering indictment of the military industrial complex and how defense hawks hijacked 9/11 and weakened America.” Scheer will speak at The Studio Maui in Haiku on Wednesday, August 13 at 7pm, and the Kihei Charter School auditorium on Thursday, August 14 at 7pm. Both presentations will be followed by the film Senator Obama Goes To Africa, a documentary of his 2006 visit that is described as “Part personal odyssey and part chronicle of diplomacy in action.” The film follows Sen. Barack Obama as he visits Darfur, site of military conflict and atrocities in Western Sudan, South Africa, where he visits the cell where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, and to Kenya, for an emotional homecoming to the homeland of Obama’s father. Holter has also been an advocate of locally produced renewable energy, and a critic of more imports, both petroleum

and palm oil. Representing the Sierra Club-Maui Group, which he chairs, he was a panelist/presenter at last November’s Maui County Energy Expo. Holter has discussed the idea of large concentrated parabolic solar installations with industry experts at Abengoa Solar, currently building the world’s largest plant near Gila Bend, Arizona. With two 140megawatt generators, Abengoa’s Solana Generating Station will be capable of providing electric power for 70,000 homes. When Abengoa representatives came to Hawaii earlier this year, Holter made introductions both to Maui Electric Company officials and the state

First, a disclaimer: It’s not often we find ourselves defending corporate retail behemoths and we take no pleasure in it—but then, attending Liquor Control meetings will do strange things to your sense of right and wrong. Here’s the scene: A rather nervous and soft-spoken middle manager for the Kahului KMart (or Big K, or whatever they’re calling themselves these days) was sweating under the glare of the LC Adjudication Board. About a year ago, a cashier at his store sold a six-pack to a minor decoy during a sting operation. Layering on the illegality, the cashier was only 17 years old. After stumbling through his explanation, the KMart rep was subjected to a stern lecture about the inadequacies of both his answers and his store’s training and ID-checking policies. He offered little in the way of a rebuttal, and no one in the room expected the board to do anything but penalize; KMart’s no contest plea to the charges guaranteed as much. What was somewhat surprising was the severity of the penalty: A $2,000 fine and a seven-day suspension of the store’s liquor license. Now, no one is going to shed any tears for KMart over a couple grand and a week of lost alcohol sales; a company of their size and heft can absorb that without blinking. But a body like the LC has to strive for consistency in its rulings. During the same session, ABC Stores (a smaller chain) was brought up on almost identical charges, plead no contest, and was hit with only a $2,000 fine, half of it suspended. Did the board slap KMart harder merely because it’s a huge company? We’ll never know, since their deliberations take place behind closed doors. But when two entities commit almost the exact same offense (though admittedly KMart’s was complicated by the underage clerk) and are given such disproportionate punishments, you’ve got to wonder about fairness. —Jacob Shafer

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

THURSDAY, JULY 31 Here’s one for those who believe in cosmic convergences and other such impossibleto-prove yet fun-to-parse phenomena: It’ll be interesting as the election unfolds to see if good news for County Councilman Mike Victorino coincides with good news for his boy, pro ballplayer Shane Victorino. So far, signs point to yes. Exhibit A: Just days after the filing deadline dust settled and Mike stood unopposed for his Wailuku-Waihee-Waikapu seat, Shane banged out three hits, drove in three runs and launched a solo homer as his Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals to move into first place in the National League East. Overall, for the month of July: Victorino the younger, .315 AVG., 7 HR, 20 RBI; Victorino the elder, a shoo-in for re-election. Coincidence? You decide.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 1

WEDNESDAY, JULY 30 Add Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska to the list of corrupt members of Congress (bringing the count to, I believe, though I should check my figures, all of them). Stevens was slapped with seven felony counts for, sigh, allegedly covering up some $250K in kickbacks from an oil company lobbyist. But don’t worry about Ted, he’s still got friends in high places, including our own Senator Daniel Inouye, who told an Associated Pres reporter that “Ted Stevens remains my friend. I believe in him.” Added Inouye, “In our legal system, a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.” True, although I’m thinking we need to change that to: “All non-Senators are innocent until proven guilty.” But that would let members of the House and the Executive branch, not to mention state and county officials, off the hook, wouldn’t it? Better just assume everyone in government is guilty—you’ll be right more often than you’re wrong.

From the moment that whole anthrax scare hit back in 2001, I knew eventually it was going to come out that it had nothing to do with Islamic fundamentalists or international terrorist cells and was in fact the work of some lone wacko, quite possibly with ties to the U.S. military. And even though I can’t prove I knew any of that—and could in fairness be accused of crowing over some not-too-impressive 20-20 hindsight—I’m still gonna say it: I told you so. As has been widely reported, Bruce E. Ivins, a high-ranking military scientist who specialized in bio-defense, committed suicide just as the Justice Department was preparing to charge him in connection with the anthrax mailings. Making the case even more twisted, officials have theorized Ivins’s motive may have been to test a cure for the deadly poison. Pretty sad all around, and further proof that events the current administration tries to ham-fistedly tie to the “war on terror” in an effort to ratchet up the national fear level and justify their ill-conceived foreign wars are always more complicated than they appear. Here’s the real question though: does this revelation raise or lower that stupid color-coded threat-ometer?

SATURDAY, AUGUST 2

Ted Stevens, alleged bribe taker.

Relatively good news for farmers, unequivocally bad news for droughtplagued Hawaii: Maui County and the rest of the state have been declared disaster areas by the feds, as reported in The Maui News. That means island farmers can now apply for low-interest government loans to help ease the strain brought on by lost crops. That’ll help, but long term the one and only solution (beyond water usage regulations, which are important but don’t fully address the fundamental issue) is clear—we need rain.

Shane gets hits, Dad gets votes...good times for the Victorinos.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 Ask and ye shall receive. While it wasn’t enough to reverse the drought, a nice steady rain did fall today. A lot of it was dumped near my house in Wailuku, leading to a downed line and subsequent power outage. Deprived of TV and Internet and the ability to mix booze in the blender, my wife and I went for a stroll around the neighborhood. We weren’t the only ones with that idea; lots of folks took the unexpected electricity deprivation as an opportunity to stretch their limbs. We saw kids rollerblading on the sidewalk and running around in the wet grass engaged in various youthful activities. Someone started playing a piano (presumably by candlelight) and the notes wafted out into the balmy evening air. It was nice. And it reminded me how, in our technological age, simple creativity and spontaneity are almost always relegated to the back burner. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ready to give up my laptop and hi-def tube just yet—in fact I’m pretty sure I experienced some mild withdrawal symptoms for the several hours I was forced to go without them—but sometimes it’s nice when nature compels you to resort to Plan B.

MONDAY, AUGUST 4 So it looks like the rain is helping a bit, with the trade winds carrying in moisture from some offshore tropical storms. But, The Maui News reports, any gains to the water table are being offset by a bump in usage—to the tune of 900,000 gallons a day over the past week. Man, a few rain-

drops come trickling down and suddenly everybody forgets we’re dealing with a shortage, with months of summer weather still to come. Say it with me now: c-o-n-se-r-v-e. In other news…Continuing our exclusive Victorino Watch 2008: Shane, comes off the bench to launch a three-run shot that ends up being the difference in the Phillies’ 5-4 win over St. Louis; Mike, still running unopposed. OK, this is officially redundant.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 5 Last week we reported on a promising survey out of Oahu, which showed that about 60 percent of residents there would support a rail line if the matter were put to a vote. Apparently, among the other 40 percent are some rather vocal individuals calling themselves Stop Rail Now. The Honolulu Advertiser reports that members of the organization, who are seeking to get an anti-rail ordinance on the November ballot, made a big show of delivering two boxes full of signatures to the city clerk’s office, even though they’d been informed they were too late to file. Hey, a bit of political theater can be amusing, and obstructionism is at times the best and only safeguard against foolish endeavors (not saying the rail is a foolish endeavor, just speaking generally). But it’s always slightly sad to me to see people devoting so much of their life and energy (they even printed up matching T-shirts fer chrissakes!) to making sure that something, especially something like a public transportation system, isn’t accomplished.

ehbrah@mauitime.com This one goes out to the person who decided to take off after reversing into the door of my parked car at the Upcountry Pool last Sunday. While I was busy working and making sure everyone in the pool was safe, you put an office chair-sized dent into my car and sped away like a coward. Don’t tell me you didn’t know whose car it was because there was a gigantic “Lifeguard Parking” sign in front of my vehicle. If you took the time to look at my truck, you would have noticed that you didn’t put in the first dent, and probably not the last either. And your bumper only added another color to my already three-toned truck. My truck is a heap and I would have been completely happy with you simply coming in and giving me an apology. Instead I’m pissed because you took off like a guilty bandit trying to escape without being seen. Good thing there was a party next door and a lady came in and gave me your license number. The door is still open for an apology, at least until my temper tells me to take my witness and your license plates to the cops.

ROBREPORT GREEN continued from page 6 Democratic leadership, including state Senators,Shan Tsutsui, Kalani English and Gary Hooser, U.S. House Rep. Mazie Hirono, and staff members from the offices of U.S. Senators Daniel Inouye and Dan Akaka. “You know who seemed the most interested,” Holter said, “was (Maui County Council member) Mike Victorino.” I reminded him that Victorino had recently sent out a press release of a resolution he’d be introducing at the August 8 full Council meeting. The draft resolution would refer to the Maui, Lanai and Molokai Planning Commissions a draft ordinance to establish solar energy facilities as permitted uses on agriculturally zoned land. “You’ve got the piece I wrote on the oil men in the White House, right?” Holter asked. It’s got a great solar energy quote from (Environmental Defense Fund President) Fred Krupp’s new book Earth: The Sequel. You’ve got to put that in your article.” I agree. Krupp says that, in addition to the superior efficiency of solar plants compared to wind and biofuels, “The economic benefits of solar farming is impressive. A 2006 study…found that solar thermal plants create twice as many jobs as coal and gas plants and produce eight times the retained revenues in the states in which they are located. Each gigawatt of solar thermal-generated electricity, according to the Natural Renewable Energy Lab, will create 3,400 construction jobs, 250 permanent jobs, and $500 million in tax revenues.” s we climbed in the fully loaded truck and headed to the County landfill composting site, I pulled out a stenographer’s notebook to take better notes on another project Holter’s passionate about. Later this month, Holter will travel to Alaska, his eleventh trip there altogether, to do a kayak float down the Chilikadrotna River to the headwaters of the Nushagak River system. Those waters empty into Bristol Bay, perhaps the most pristine salmon fishery and spawning sight in the world. But the epic, unspoiled Alaskan ecosystem there faces a huge challenge: gold and copper open pit mining from the Pebble Mine claim. Holter will meet Men’s Journal writer Daniel Duane, a photographer, and fishery and wildlife biologists to bring the plight of the area to a wider audience. “Did you know it takes 20 tons of ore,” Holter exclaims, “to extract enough gold for one wedding band?

The entire area they want to exploit is a wetlands, a vital ecosystem.” This will be Holter’s fourth trip to the area, and he’s determined to spread the word about the possible impending environmental devastation. “The Chilikadrotna is designated a ‘Wild and Scenic’ river for 75 miles,” he said. “They want to construct a 20-square-mile containment pond for the tailings of the ore. They want to build an earthen dam seven miles long and 600 feet high. Can you believe it?” Close by is Lake Clark, the least visited of all U.S. National Parks. The area is also home to 7,000-8,000 native Alaskans, both of the Yupick and Athabaskan tribes. Holter relates that the Athabaskans crossed the Bering Strait from Asia over 10,000 years ago, and are so closely related to the Navajos, who continued further south centuries ago, that they can understand their language.

He explains that a survey showed that 73 percent of Alaskans support salmon fishing, which can be managed sustainably, over mining. Estimates place the mining industry’s extraction of Alaska’s resources at one billion dollars yearly, with only $5.8 million of that revenue staying in the state. By contrast, Alaska’s salmon fisheries bring $450 million into the state yearly. Moreover, the mining industry is the state’s most toxic, more so than the oil and gas industry. Closer to home, Holter has been an advocate for the Patsy Mink Northshore Heritage Park, looking to preserve the undeveloped coastal stretch from Spreckelsville to Paia and beyond. He has enlisted state and national elected officials to forward resolutions and studies to support the project.

Amid his whirlwind of environmental and political activism, Holter is a dedicated family man. He has three daughters, River, Jade and Sarah, and an 18-monthold grandson. Holter’s sweetheart, Ave Diaz, is a founding member of Maui Peace Action, and also worked on the 2004 Dennis Kucinich for President campaign, resulting in her being one of eight Hawaii delegates for Kucinich at the Democratic National Convention. She works as a supervisor and counselor with Maui Family Support Services. Lance Holter has earned accolades for some of his accomplishments, while many more go unnoticed. With the swagger of a frontier sheriff in a white hat, he goes about his days trying to uphold what he believes is right, and that which will protect both natural resources and community values. MTW

TAKING HER SHOT Shannon Hyman, now 24, filed a lawsuit in July against the Green Iguana Bar & Grill in St. Petersburg, Fla., for medical bills and lost wages when she was badly burned four years ago drinking a “flaming shot” of Bacardi 151-proof rum (which normally is consumed without incident, but Hyman had spit out the drink, spreading flames to her head and upper torso). Hyman told the Tampa Tribune: “I’m suing because I should not have been let in (because she was under 21 at the time). If I weren’t let in, none of the events would have happened.”

In July, the new smoking ban for bars and restaurants in the Netherlands took effect, but it won’t curtail patrons’ right to smoke marijuana in Amsterdam’s coffee shops (where they can buy up to 5 grams a day to smoke on the premises). And, just as the ban became law, the Dutch special-effects company Rain Showtechniek began selling bars a machine (for the equivalent of about $900) that, for nostalgia, replicates the scent of traditional, cigarettesmoked air (but which does not damage health or linger in clothing or hair.)

in May and charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting at his girlfriend and an old buddy from prison following a long evening of alcohol and methamphetamines. Said the prosecutor in Isanti County, Minn., of the rampage by Russell Simon Jr., 45, “We’re lucky we don’t have a multiple homicide on our hands.”

WASTING AWAY Murder suspect Broderick Laswell, 19, filed a lawsuit in federal court in April against the Benton County (Ark.) Jail, alleging that he was being “literally” “starved to death” while awaiting trial, and complaining of “blurry” vision and of almost passing out. As evidence of his plight, Laswell pointed out that, in eight months behind bars, his weight had dropped from 413 pounds to 308.

NAKED AGGRESSION A U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in July that officials at a junior high school in Safford, Ariz., should not have stripsearched a 13-year-old girl when all they wanted was to see if she was carrying ibuprofen. However, her “right” to privacy carried the day among the judges by only 6-5, as the dissenters pointed out that it was, after all, prescription-strength ibuprofen they were after and that officials proceeded based on information from an “informant.” (The majority apparently holds junior-high-age “informants” in lower regard.)

URINE FOR IT At the time that Alan Patton, 56, of Columbus, Ohio, made News of the Weird in 2006, he had already been consuming boys’ urine for 40 years, he said, and a 2007 jail sentence has had no apparent deterrent effect. He was arrested in June 2008 (and twice since then), accused of turning off the water in a recreation center restroom and placing plastic wrap inside the bowl to catch the nectar that, he says, enables him to “become part of their youth.” While no Ohio law prohibits collecting or drinking others’ urine, Patton violates his almost-perpetual probation by visiting any public restroom.

“She didn’t say I said she said that, did she?” —Woman to her friend in the Costco parking lot, Kahului

MAUICOUNTY

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

The business end A look at the week’s economic winners and losers… It’s not a surprise, but the numbers still manage to deliver a little shock value—tourism on Maui and across Hawaii is down. Way down. As reported in The Maui News, industry big wigs converged for the Maui Visitors Bureau marketing meeting this week and the figures staring up at them were grim—a 22 percent drop from a year ago in arrivals on Maui for the month of June, which led to a nearly 16 percent decline in visitor spending. Hotel occupancy fell 7 percent, according to The Pacific Business News. During a month when they should be flush with cash, Hawaiian Airlines announced that they barely broke even. “We’re in for some tough, trying times,” said MVB Executive Director Terryl Vencl when given the unenviable task of stating the obvious. And now we get to the part that’s unfortunately going to become something of a mantra in this space: The primary cause of this roller coaster-esque downturn is, drum roll please, rising fuel costs and the sagging economy. OK, since we’re going to be repeating that so often, let’s coin an awkward acronym: RFCSE. That’ll save ink, which, incidentally, is also getting more expensive.

The arrow’s pointing up, but in the most ironic sense possible. Last week we told you about the Maui Land & Pineapple Co. layoffs, wherein 274 people lost their jobs. Well, seems not everyone at ML&P is hurting. The Pacific Business News reports that the company actually turned an $8 million profit last year, and shelled more than half of that out to CEO David Cole in the form of a $4.1 million “compensation package.” That’s a whole lot of lower-level salaries that could have been paid, and less people in the unemployment line. Now let’s wait for the inevitable spin.

TO ENTER GO TO

Bad news for car dealerships across Maui: New vehicle sales are down sharply on the island, The Maui News reports. According to figures from the Hawaii Automobile Dealers Association, there were 2,768 new cars, SUVs and trucks registered in the county as of the end of June. That’s more than a 26 percent drop from last year. The smallest decline came in truck sales, which fell a mere 1.1 percent, something that shouldn’t surprise anyone who regularly drives Maui’s roads.

One industry’s bane is another’s windfall: Even as RFCSE hit travel and auto sales, those first three letters led to another record-busting quarter for the oil companies. The Associated Press reports that, with the cost of their gooey goodness on a seemingly endless upward trajectory, Exxon Mobile reaped the biggest operating profit in U.S. corporate history—$11.7 billion. That second quarter haul represents a 14 percent uptick over last year, and came as a result of $138 billion in total sales. According to World Bank figures, that number is greater than the GDP of almost 150 countries. Too bad nobody gets to vote in—or out—the leadership at Exxon Mobile.

Staying with the fossil fuel-centric theme, gas prices did drop an average of 5 percent statewide, providing drivers with a smidgen of relief. But—and this is where we wish we had an icon that was like an arrow going sideways—per gallon costs actually rose slightly in Wailuku, from $4.70 to $4.72, according to figures released by AAA and reported in PBN. So…take the Superferry to Oahu, bring your car and save on gas? No, that won’t work. So much for ending on a positive note. Points for trying? MTW

‘ink’ing it over Will divisions within Hawaii’s tattoo industry obscure the art? by Jacob Shafer

n Maui, and throughout Hawaii, tattooing is serious business. According to some estimates, the Aloha State is the most tattooed in the nation; Maui alone has over a dozen shops scattered across the island, full of busy artists working on locals and tourists alike. People flock here from all over the world to get inked. So it should come as no surprise that the industry is being put under the microscope and that a chorus of voices is calling for tighter regulation. What is surprising is that those calls aren’t coming from some buttoned-up anti-tattoo lobby or a public health watchdog group— they’re coming from the tattoo artists themselves. Earlier this month, a group of tattooists sat down with lawmakers on Oahu to go over the nearly three-decades old state licensing exam and to push for an updated revamp that takes into greater account the spread of blood-born diseases like HIV and hepatitis and other issues like body piercing and the legality of traditional Hawaiian methods. Overall, the goal seems sensible if somewhat counterintuitive: to bolster the industry by cracking down it. The Oahu meeting came on the heels of a protracted fight over House Bill 2283. The bill—drafted by a coalition of tattoo artists with an assist from state Representative

AUGUST 7, 2008

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

John Mizuno of Oahu—sought to soften existing regulations and to allow unlicensed artists to work in Hawaii for up to 14 days. One of the goals was to make it easier to stage tattoo trade shows featuring out-of-state artists, something that’s next to impossible given current licensing requirements. In February, after initially opposing HB2283, the state Department of Health gave the bill its blessing. In testimony provided to the Committee on Finance, DOH Director Chiyome Leinaala Fukino said that, “Given the maturity of the industry and its ability to practice in a sanitary manner, we would like to change the previous opposition of this bill to one of support with reservations.” Fukino went on to cite DOH and Centers for Disease Control and Protection data that show no evidence linking commercial tattoo artists in Hawaii to “significant numbers of transmitted infections.” Of course, it could be argued that those numbers are directly tied to the strict regulations that are in place; relax regulations and things might go south in a hurry. That’s exactly what some tattooists did argue. As quoted in an April 8 Associated Press story, Oahu tattoo shop owner Florence Batlle called the prospect of eased restrictions, “really scary.” “Unprofessional tattoo artists could come into Hawaii and put everyone at risk,” she said. Batlle and other like-minded tattooists got their wish. After much lobbying and debate, HB2283—which passed the House—was yanked from the agenda by the Senate, wiped away like one of those temporary stick-on jobs in the bathtub. But even with the threat of deregulating legislation at least temporarily off the table, the discussion isn’t over. Opinion appears split between artists who want to see regulations maintained and tightened—either to keep standards high or to cut down on the competition, depending on who you ask—and those who feel there’s nothing wrong with opening things up.

“

hey want to narrow the market, they don’t want newcomers to come to the island and open up tattoo shops,” says Circle of Evolved Art Tattoo Parlor in Wailuku, when asked about the push for tighter restrictions within the industry. He acknowledges that concerns over safety may be “a small part of it,” but maintains that the primary motivation is keeping the competition down. Circle, who’s been in the business for 13 years, nine on Maui, supports the idea of bringing in guest artists, even if that means streamlining the licensing process. “That’s the way we learn. They shouldn’t make it difficult for somebody who knows what they’re doing to come out here and tattoo,” he says. “They only offer the test twice a year, once in January and once in July, and you have to have all your paperwork three months in advance. They want a physical examination, blood test. Even if you’re licensed in another state, it doesn’t matter. It makes it hard for people to come in.” That doesn’t mean, he’s quick to emphasize, that he doesn’t care about safety. “Don’t get me wrong, there should be regulations. [But] people in the industry are pretty on top of it. I’d say a lot of tattoo shops are cleaner than some hospitals I’ve been to.” Tony Mucci, owner of Skin Deep Tattoo in Lahaina, calls the fact that Hawaii has some of the toughest rules in the nation a “wonderful thing.” His opinion, however, isn’t based on fears over unsanitary conditions or the spread of disease. Rather, he feels that restrictions help keep the quality of the industry high. “Yes, you

need to understand cross-contamination, you need to know about blood-born pathogens,” he says. “But that stuff has nothing to do with tattooing, with the application of it.” For Mucci, quality of work, and pride in the skill and artistry involved in tattooing, is paramount. It’s what’s helped build the industry into what it is, and it’s the only thing that will sustain it. “If someone gives you a bad tattoo, it puts a bad face on the whole tattoo world. But if your first tattoo rips and rules, now you’ve got the taste in your mouth; now you want more.” A rising ink tide, in other words, lifts all boats. While Mucci admits that even the most stringent licensing requirements couldn’t weed out every bad artist, he’s adamant that deregulation isn’t the answer. At the same time, he wholeheartedly supports the idea of guest artists coming to the islands—he just thinks they should have to work to get here, like he did. Before taking ownership of Skin Deep earlier this year, Mucci spent more than a decade traveling to Hawaii as a guest artist, jumping through the required regulatory hoops. Doing so, he says, proved how serious he was about being here and doing good work. “I like the fact that you have to come here and get tested and go through all that. It shows how bad you really want to tattoo on the island.” The only downside, Mucci says, is that the current requirements make it difficult to lure older, iconic artists who “remember the days when you didn’t even have to wear gloves.” Mucci also supports the idea of tattoo conventions. His vision, though, is of an inter-island event focused on the licensed artists who are already here, augmented by a few outside tattooists who are willing to take the necessary steps. And yet, he’s quick to add, that vision is probably unrealistic—but not because of government oversight. “Right now there’s a weirdness between a lot of the shops,” he says. “Like that guy down the street doesn’t like this guy, and those guys over there don’t talk; there’s these weird rivalries. Ten years ago, there were only a few shops. Now, they’re opening up all over. So you get insecurity.”

f all of this paints a bleak picture of an industry divided, that’s only partially accurate. There is infighting, sure, and disagreements between artists about both the practical and aesthetic

aspects of the business. But the thing that unites many tattooists—certainly the two quoted in this story—is love of the work. “It’s a passion,” says Circle. “You can tell the [artists] that really put their heart into it and the ones that are just in it for the bucks. Some guys come out here because they know they can make money off the tourists. Some of the tourist shops, they can soak people by charging a lot for some-

thing that takes them 10 minutes. They’re not really concerned about the art, or that people will be carrying this for the rest of their life.” Mucci concurs. “It’s all about quality, whether it’s someone getting something the size of a half-dollar or the guy with a sleeve. It’s just as important to each person.” When we visited Mucci at his shop, it was buzzing with customers. Evolved Art also appeared to have a loyal client base filling its chairs. Ditto many of the island’s other parlors. Even in these uncertain economic times, the ink business seems to be holding strong. Mucci thinks he knows why. “When things are going good, you go and get a tattoo,” he says. “And when things are going bad, you go and get a tattoo.” MTW

Tattoos: Current trend, ancient art nce viewed as the purview of criminals, leather-clad motorcycle enthusiasts and rum-soaked sailors, tattoos have become a ubiquitous part of modern life, worn just as often by “respectable” citizens as social misfits. A 2006 study conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology found that nearly a quarter of Americans between the ages of 18 and 50 have at least one tattoo; change the age range to 2529 and that figure jumps to 36 percent, according to a Harris Interactive poll. And with prevalence comes acceptance. A growing number of major companies, including seemingly conservative outfits like Ford and Wells Fargo, have begun allowing employees to display body art as part of their dress codes, as reported in U.S. News & World Report. Add to the mix popular reality shows like TLC’s ‘Miami Ink’ and its various spin-offs—which follow the lives of tattoo artists and focus especially on their role as needle-wielding quasi-therapists—and it’s safe to say tattooing has gone mainstream. But, as with many growing trends, the origins of this ancient art remain largely obscured. Ask just about anyone on Maui where to go for a great tat and you’ll get an array of answers. Inquire about the history of tattooing and its place in Polynesian culture and you may encounter a few blank stares. That’s not to say there aren’t some people with a deep interest in—and appreciation for—the historical significance of tattoos, including native Hawaiians who still practice the old methods. But as more and more young people rush out to get inked on a whim, the deep cultural significance of the act is getting covered up. Traditionally, in Hawaii and across other Polynesian cultures, kakau served less as ornamentation and more as a mark of family lineage and a protection against physical and

spiritual harm. Men decorated their legs, arms, torsos and faces with representations of animals and intricate plant patterns, while women more often tattooed their fingers, hands and, sometimes, tongues. Special kahuna, trained in the art, would apply the tattoos, using a needle made from bone that was hit with a mallet. The entire process was seen as deeply sacred, surrounded by ritual and reverence. With European colonization, many of the secrets surrounding kakau were lost, due in part to the missionaries’ view that tattooing went against scripture (Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves…”). Today, outside the sphere of modern commercial tattooing, there are native Hawaiians trying to reclaim the old ways, heroically preserving (and reinventing) a cultural tradition that has been swept up by the changing times.

MAUI’s BEST SUSHI

Branching out The Banyan Tree is rooted in goodness ost nights when hunger strikes, Dave and I go on the hunt for something quick, delicious and cheap. But someone wise once said that variety is the spice of life, so last Wednesday we decided to treat ourselves to a meal that was both elegant and extravagant, one that wouldn’t involve ordering over the phone or using plastic cutlery. We ventured up to Kapalua and arrived at the Banyan Tree Restaurant at the Ritz Carlton just after sunset. The impeding nightfall smothered everything in a hazy blue, from the palm trees and luxurious cabanas surrounding the pool to the long, manicured lawn, across the choppy West side waters to Molokai, which was just a shadow of its daytime self.

The Banyan Tree 1 Ritz Carlton Dr., Kapalua 665-7096 5:30-9:30pm Tues.-Sat.

The restaurant was a lively center of activity in the otherwise quiet setting. Live music played gently but audibly as we took our seats along the front window. We were given our choice of still or sparkling water and when a busser in a crisp uniform placed my infolded napkin in my lap I knew we were in for a special evening. Wednesday, as we discovered, is the day to dine at the Banyan Tree. Once a week on this day they offer 50 percent off all full bottles of wine with purchase of an entrée. At the price they were offering we couldn’t afford not to go with a luxurious bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay. Wine poured, we dug into our menus, which were a work of art in themselves. Handcrafted and heavy, the wooden books unfolded like beautiful old journals, the kind I like to imagine the captains of big, important ships would keep. They were stunning, but it was what could be found inside that I was looking for. After Chris, our delightful and very knowledgeable server, satisfied my curiosity about nearly every item on the menu we made our gastronomical decisions.

We were struggling over what to choose from the extensive list of gourmet pupus, but we got some help from the chefs here with the trio plate. We each chose three pupus that were paired down slightly in the kitchen to create a perfect manage-a-trois of appetizers for one. Clams in a rich, buttery miso sauce, local goat cheese and lavender-infused Kula strawberries on a crispy little mac-nut tulle and the most amazing, ruby red ahi sashimi I’ve ever seen were Dave’s picks. I chose the carpaccio and tempura mushrooms, roasted beets with a tender crab salad that was dressed lightly in rice wine vinegar and seared scallops, which were served over a light, citrusy sauce with tiny fried tomatoes. We lingered over our appetizers, but once the plates were cleared and debates over whose pupu selections were superior had been settled (we agreed to disagree), we turned our attention to our entrees. Elegant presentations are one thing the brilliant minds in the Banyan Tree kitchen have down to an art. Dave ordered the Kona lobster (no big surprise there) and we had been musing over how the chefs would make the removed meat of a two-pound crustacean look pretty on a plate. Apparently, this isn’t a problem for them, because just then a beautiful plate of succulent pink and white lobster meat came, and underneath that a risotto cake infused with carrot and ginger. Dave demanded I try a claw, and it was by far the sweetest, most tender lobster I have ever had the pleasure of eating, complimented by a sweet sauce of the lobster’s own juices, tarragon and butter. My own entrée was a very close second. I chose the lamb, served medium in small, perfect medallions over quinoa pilaf and a cilantro chimichurri. When it came to the table it was almost too pretty to eat and I began to delicately devour it while trying not to destroy the beautiful presentation. In the end my efforts were in vain, because my plate ended up empty. As usual, Dave wanted something chocolate for dessert and I wanted something different. We’re used to facing this problem and ordered the chocolate tasting dessert with creamy dark fudge, a miniature chocolate and peanut butter cake and white chocolate sorbet. We also ordered the pineapple caramel cake, which came with a scoop of lavender sorbet. We left perfectly satisfied. Our cravings for amazing food in a beautiful, elegant atmosphere had been satiated and our expectations surpassed. MTW

Scary. Lahaina Film Festival is a good antidote to this. While the fest features a wide variety of films and musical acts, the common thread that runs throughout is Hawaii. Many films were either produced on Maui or have themes that are strongly tied to Hawaiian life and culture. One surfing film, Halau Nalu, is entirely in Hawaiian. Other titles include Requiem (a shark documentary), Children of the Long Canoes (the story of the first Hawaiians), and Guard Dog (an animated short). Musical acts include Brother Noland, Uncle Boy Kanae, Braddah Francis, Uncle Benny Uyetake and Polynesian music and dance from Na Kamali‘i O Ke Akua (The Children of God). Dishing out the yummy goodness will be Amigo’s, Jamba Juice and Cool Cat Café. Partial proceeds from this event will go to local nonprofits. So, in addition to supplying us with seven vibrant and memorable hours, this festival will also help spread awareness of Hawaiian culture and give us a chance to contribute to a good cause or two. Free. For more information call 5735530 or visit www.mauifest.net. [Kate Bradshaw]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS by Ynez Tongson

A night of remembrance

Krump it

Thursday (August 7), 7-9:30pm, Kahului Hongwanji Buddhist Mission

Friday (Aug 8), 5-9pm, Paia Garden (across from the Shell Station), Paia

[LECTURE] This is a portion of the interfaith peace program, “Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” being held by the Kahului Hongwanji, in an attempt to work toward a peaceful and just society. And you’ve got to admit, in our me-first society, with our need for instant gratification, this message of is refreshing. Dr. Seiji Yamada, a physician born in Hiroshima who now teaches at the UH John A. Burns School of Medicine will be speaking on “The Nuclear Legacy of the Marshall Islanders.” Dr. Seiji Yamada is especially qualified to speak on this topic as he has treated victims of nuclear testing in the Pacific. Since this event happens later in the evening, I’m sure you’ll have time to pencil it into your busy schedule—you know, between lattes and martinis. Free. For more information visit www.mauipeace.org or call 573-3255. [Ynez Tongson]

[CD RELEASE PARTY] Hooray! It’s the album release party for Mauibased 808 Connects’ Goldawn Won. (Did anyone else catch how clever it was for them to release on 08/08/08?) Things will definitely get hypey at this all-ages release party. From 5-7 there’s going to be a b-boy vs. krumper workshop. Wondering what the difference between a b-boy and a krumper is? All the more reason to attend this shindig. Then, from 7-9 will be the main event, a concert put on by Maui’s own 808 Connects. A portion of the money raised will be donated to the Hawaii Food Bank, once again proving that you can definitely enjoy yourself and still help other people. 18 and under free, with school ID. 18+: $10.

[BENEFIT] This is a Tea Dance benefiting the Maui AIDs foundation, being held at the fabulous oceanfront Sugarman Estate in Makena. You might be wondering what a Tea Dance is. Well, it’s an afternoon or early evening dance. That’s right, you’ll be partying for a cause. This cause is especially noble, since it seems that the CDC has been underreporting HIV infection rates for years now. So, when you walk into the office the next morning, a little haggard and worn out, you can smile at your supervisor and report you spent last night helping the community. Which you did. Except this “helping the community” involved food, dancing and a free shuttle to and from the Shops at Wailea. Tickets: $50. For more information visit http://mauigayinfo.com. [YT]

[LECTURE/FILM] This event is not just for Obama-philes, but given that a documentary on the senator’s 2006 Africa trip will be showing, it is a surefire draw for diehards. Yet those who are expecting the usual kitten-and-rainbow parade may want to sit this one out…or not, actually. Journalist Robert Sheer kicks off the evening with a talk that includes excerpts from his new book The Pornography of Power: How Defense Hawks Hijacked 9/11. Many of us are already maxed out on rage when it comes to our current situation, but more information, especially from such a credible source, can never hurt. Scheer edits www.truthdig.com and co-hosts the NPR show “Left, Right, Center.” Those of us who view the mainstream media’s election coverage as more bludgeon than vital tool in the democratic process may want to stick around afterward for a screening of Senator Obama Goes to Africa. The film chronicles his visit to Darfur, South Africa and the former Kenya home of his father. I’m guessing it will end the night on a high note. Sponsored by the Maui Democratic Century Club. Tickets: $5. For more information call 573-9790. [KB]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

A ‘Pineapple’ a day The Apatow comedy spree continues ineapple Express could easily be titled The Apatow Express for the way it expands on Judd Apatow’s influence as a modern-day Mel Brooks. The title refers to a hybrid kind of marijuana so rare that to smoke it is akin to “killing a unicorn.” James Franco busts out some impressive comic chops as Saul, a goodnatured pot dealer who befriends his process server client Dale (played by the ever reliable Seth Rogen) to whom he sells the precious herb. The two young men bond after Dale witnesses a murder committed by pot kingpin Ted

Pineapple Express

★★★★★ Rated R/112 min.

Jones (Gary Cole) with the help of a bad-apple woman cop (Rosie Perez). Desperate to escape the wrath of Ted’s bloodthirsty henchmen, Dale and Saul employ the unreliable help of a pot middleman named Red (played by impressive newcomer Danny McBride). Over the top in its take-noprisoners comic approach, Pineapple Express draws on stylistic and plot elements from ‘70s martial arts movies, shock horror films and Tarantino set

pieces to generate a new type of irreverent comic cinema in touch with the candid allegiance of a new generation. It’s also an open plea for the legalization of marijuana. Seth Rogen co-wrote the script and his influence in the Judd Apatow world of comedy hits (The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up) has proven his talents as a writer, co-producer and actor with a knack for hitting audiences in their funny bones and their hearts. Rogen’s acting background with James Franco dates back to their days together on the short-lived but seminal television show Freaks and Geeks, for which their characters constituted two of the title’s “freaks.” One of the significant factors that sets the Apatow brand of comedy apart from other comic film genres is the cohesion between its ensemble team that contributes to generating a proven comic chemistry without suffering from committee-led studio editorial authority. In keeping their budget just below the midrange mark, the team is able to walk a fine line of genuine collaboration that expands their films’ comic range toward loosely irreverent ideas that present a radical departure from Hollywood’s unrelenting output of diluted comic movies. Some audiences will view Pineapple Express as a pot movie, while others will see it as more of an action comedy. Both are correct, but more importantly it’s a fearless compilation of unfettered comic ideas, cinematic references and improvisational bits of narrative glue that generates something exciting and original. In the same way that Martin Scorsese borrowed bits and pieces from Italian neo-realist films to break new ground

Cotton mouth is the least of their worries. with films like Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, the Apatow team is composed of passionate filmmakers (meaning the ensemble of cast, crew and everyone in between) pushing the envelope on what’s possible. It’s fun to follow the connective tissue of each performer—from Rosie Perez and Gary Cole to Danny McBride—in the ways that they contribute to the overall effect of the infectious humor present in every scene. The way that their reality-based characters collide in sometimes grotesque ways carries an undercurrent of outrageous violence that backhandedly references the wars that pull at the seams of American society.

these scenes of stark aftermath that director of photography Tim Orr (Undertow) attaches biting tableaus to put a human price on what we find entertaining. There’s nothing heavy-handed and Orr barley even approaches commentary; it’s just a matterof-fact way of viewing a logical conclusion, regardless of its comic impetus. The daringness to be raw and immature while being wholly calculating and sophisticated is the key that makes movies like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad and Pineapple Express refreshing. You could call it lightening in a bottle. Or a bong. MTW

Battle royale Maui’s musicians duke it out as rock takes center stage here’s no shortage of great music and musicians on Maui. Maybe it’s the laid-back lifestyle, peaceful jungles, majestic mountains or rolling waves, but the tunes flow freely around here. I know this because I have a stack of promotional CDs that could crush a school-aged child sitting by my desk. But a brief look through the titles points out one of the only problems with Maui’s music scene: it’s all reggae.

Battle of the Bands Friday, August 8 Hard Rock Café, Lahaina 667-7400; $10

OK, maybe it isn’t all reggae. Some of it is contemporary Hawaiian, some is Jawaiian and a small amount is traditional Hawaiian language music. There’s a lot of ukuleles and slack key guitars in my desk-side collection, that much I know for sure. It’s good musicians creating good music, and that’s OK, but a girl’s got to wonder—doesn’t anyone like to listen to rock out here? “Big deal” reggae shows happen pretty much every weekend, but most mainstream rock bands look right over Maui on their international tours. That’s where DJ Jojo comes in. The X92.5 FM radio personality and arguably Maui’s biggest rocker spearheaded the effort to spotlight the island’s rock scene with a good, oldfashioned Battle of the Bands. “It’s not that I don’t like reggae,” the shaggy-haired DJ told me through glassy eyes after one of last week’s preliminary battles. “I do, but I’m from the Mainland and I’m out here wondering, ‘Where the rock?’ I started the Battle of the Bands to get Maui’s rock scene together.” Out of all the bands that put their name in the hat, twelve were chosen to take their turn competing in four battles. The winner of each of those rounds will compete this weekend for $1,000 and an opportunity to open

AUGUST 7, 2008

for 311 at the hit-making band’s upcoming concert. Round one winner Erin Smith Band won over the audience at the Hard Rock Café in Lahaina with original bluesy, folk rock tunes and Smith’s commanding stage presence. The Toronto native relocated to Kihei and got busy singing and strumming at bars and restaurants all over Maui, so she’s got quite a following of loyal listeners. She’s also the only chick in this competition, so she probably gets the female vote by default. The following week the crowd packed into Casanova in Makawao to see the Haiku-grown band Highly Unlikely. The four members showed their youth with fast-and-hard punk inspired sounds that impressed the judges and packed the dance floor with partiers. Lahaina band Silky Ringo plugged their typically acoustic rock sound in and put their unique touch on a high-energy set of cover songs, punctuated with a few originals, at the next competition. These hard working guys have regular gigs around Lahaina and Kihei, and in the end they took the win to the delight of a screaming group of West side fans. The final band to reach round two in this Battle was Byron Brown and the Derelicts, who lace thoughtfully catchy lyrics through mellow, soul- and funkinfused rock tunes. So there you have it. This weekend the folksy blues chick, the young punkers, the cover rockers and the soulful strummers will come with their Agame and put it all on the line-- for bragging rights, for the dough and for the ultimate prize, the opportunity to play in front of an audience of hundreds and share the stage with the Mainland rockers from 311. Now if only these guys would start sending me CDs. MTW

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Thinking outside of the box is all well and good, and I encourage it in general, but sometimes the inside-the-box solution is perfectly viable, and a lot more convenient. Going out of your way to come up with an unconventional answer to a conventional question can be great fun, but in this case it’s not necessary, and will probably slow you down. Wouldn’t it be better to just get this particularly uninspiring task over and done with, so you can move on to the more interesting stuff that actually requires your creative genius?

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You might be so busy fighting your personal battles that you don’t even notice who your allies—or, I should say, your potential allies—are. There are people whose goals are aligned closely enough with your own that you could easily team up, assuming you bothered to notice them, and make the suggestion. This is a total win-win; you need only take advantage of it. Naturally, if you’d rather forge on solo, that’s your call—but considering that together you’d all accomplish much, much more than you would have on your own, I can’t see why’d you pass up the chance.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) I know you think you’ve just been looking for the things and people you want in all the wrong places. Actually, you’ve been looking in most of the right places, but just turned up empty-handed. For now, consider the possibility that because you were so busying looking for A and B in all the scenarios available to you that you completely missed the stunning and awesome X and Z that were right in front of your nose all along. Go back and find them.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Sometimes all you can do is run down the list of excuses you have to not do something, and methodically eliminate them, one by one. You know what you’ve got to do, but there’s a stubborn part of your brain that’s going to insist on trying to trip you up or otherwise keep you from actually getting there. You can’t turn that part of your brain off, so all you can do right now is try to thwart it, which will involve being more creative, resourceful, and determined than it is. Can you beat yourself at your own game? This week, find out.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Get your tickets to 311 at the Hard Rock box office or at www.ticketmaster.com

The psychic vibe this week is like a hot, sticky, still summer day, where the air almost feels too thick to breathe. Luckily, your magic power is the ability to cut through that. You’re a tunder storm, don’t be afraid to knock out power to whole neighborhoods and give people a scare and a soaking they won’t soon forget. That’s what you’re supposed to be doing. If you’re not make a lot of noise and changing the dynamics of the situations you find yourself in (hopefully for the better), you’re not doing your job.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Most of the “good guys” and “bad guys” in your world are exactly what they seem; one or two, though, might break the mold. Reexamine them, and see if they might need your help. If they do, step in and give it to them.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Instead of waiting for the people who are supposed to take care of business to get off their asses and actually do it, step up yourself and get the shit done. It’s not technically your job, but you’re just as qualified, and certainly more motivated. The alternative is sitting around, stewing, and waiting for something that might never happen.

before

What started out looking like a lot of fun has turned out to be a total drag. You weren’t led to this place by false pretences, per se, but you may as well have been, because what you saw is not what you got. In other words, the glimpse you got beforehand understandably caused you to make assumptions that were far from accurate. Sometimes that can lead to pleasant surprises, but in this case, it didn’t. That mostly lets you off the hook. I wouldn’t just walk away from this without a word, but I would walk away.

after

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) You know how easy it is for you to fool people. Don’t gloss over the possibility that you might be deceiving yourself as well. What are your real motivations here? Can you be honest with yourself about what you want, and what outcome you’re trying to bring about with your actions, either consciously or unconsciously? If you can, you can also go about manifesting that directly rather than covertly, which could potentially prevent numerous misunderstandings and bruised egos later.

Unfortunately, the more you fret, the better you’ll get at it. Just like anything else, practice makes perfect. Tomorrow you’ll be able to cram more intense worry into less time than you could yesterday. Obviously, this is an unhealthy cycle, and one I hope you figure out how to escape from. Accept now that you’ll never be able to entirely let go of worry; in some ways it’s hardwired into your brain. Instead of trying to suppress it, your best bet is to counter it. Luckily, you can develop other, better thought habits, which you can use to drown out the nagging little voice in your brain that will always point out what might go wrong, forever. This week, practice those.

RESTLESSNATIVE

BY STARR BEGLEY STARR@MAUITIME.COM

Worst mom ever I was right. I should have skipped motherhood in favor of a litter of kittens. Seriously. At least you can give kittens away in a cardboard box or lock them in the bathroom with a bowl of kitty chow without serious legal consequences. Not so with children. In this day and age people freak out about the way parents raise their kids. Heaven forbid you drop them off at playcare so you can drink a latte in peace, let alone (gasp!) spank them. When did this spaz-fest begin? When I was a kid, I got paddled in school and played unattended in the backyard with a German Shepherd and my dad’s rusted hand saw. Ever try sawing a coconut open? I did. This past week, my children have been out of control. Mega out of control. My two year old is obsessed with Dora the Explorer, who by the way is the most annoying big-headed character in cartoon land, and throws a tantrum whenever I turn it off. And when I say tantrum I want you to picture a twenty-five pound demon child growling, foaming at the mouth and screaming like a banshee. My daughter, on the other hand, has simply discovered that she hates me. I know. Daughters hate mothers. It’s natural...at 16. My kid’s seven. I have been told that I am the worst mother about 12 gagillion times in the past 168 hours. Except, because she has a bit of a speech impediment it comes out, “You da wust mom evah!” Sometimes she’ll just randomly walk by me, hiss and mutter, “Wust!” It gets a bit tiring. Not to mention, I feel like I go to great lengths to be a nice mom. We do fun stuff. We have special mother and daughter alone time. We wrestle and read together. I buy her stuff. What the hell else am I supposed to do? So she doesn’t have the big playground set from Costco or a Wii. So what? Okay, the lack of a Wii is kind of a good-childhood deal breaker, but I’m working on it. The problem comes when it’s time to discipline the kids. My boy is pretty sensitive so simple threats like, “Scream at me one more time and Elmo’s toast” or “Mommy is going to sell you to Takamiya Market if you’re not good” still work well. But it’s a totally different story with my daughter. Take away the DS? I don’t care. Take away television. Whatever, Mom. Want a spanking? Catch me if you can. The only thing that seems to get her attention is not letting her go to Grandpa and Grandma’s house. The problem is that Grandpa and Grandma get uber pissed at me when I use them as part as a punishment. Let’s not even get into the amount crap I have to wade through if she winds up with a spanking in my house after a long day of trying to reason with her. Funny how parents forget the way they parented. It’s not that I think spanking is the way to go. I think it’s a last resort, but at the same time a swift slap to the bum-bum may be the only way to get a kid to realize that what they are doing is totally and 100 percent not okay. My question to all the peace and love parents out there is, would you rather your kid’s butt sting for a minute or have them grow up to be a complete asshole that no one can stand? I think that as long as a parent has thought everything through, knows their child and has his or her best interest at heart, let them deal with bad behavior as they see fit. No parent looking out for their kid is going to actually hurt them physically or emotionally. Occasional spanking is not abuse. In fact, letting your kid get away with being a prick is abuse. You’re hurting their chance of having a pleasant and productive future. As for me and my girl, I have no idea what the right solution is. Nothing seems to work. She’s one hell of a stubborn kid. I guess I’ll just keep on trying to steer her in the right direction, keep taking her angry words on the chin and look forward to the day when I can tell her that her hard head and unwavering determination are two of the things that I’ve always admired most about her. MTW Starr Begley can’t wait for the hippies to attack.
