HOW TO LIVE UNITED:

FISH OUT OF WATER

J O I N H A N D S . O P E N Y O U R H E A RT..

Darrel R Smith of Kihei takes issue with Rob Parsons’s report on the aquarium trade in Hawaii [“Reef madness,” July 24], suggesting that Parsons is missing the point. I suggest that Parsons is right on point: nobody should take fish from Hawaii reefs for resale on the mainland as part of an amusement industry. Mr. Smith quotes “a representative from the DAR,” suggesting that the aquarium trade is a “pinprick” compared to other impacts on the reef. Not knowing who that rep is, I will here state that aquarium extraction is killing reef based tourism, a non-extractive industry worth 400 times the aquarium trade. A representative from DAR told me directly that DAR estimates the actual catch of Hawaii reef fish by the aquarium trade is 2-5 times greater than the reported catch of 1-2 million fish annually. Let me help you with the math—that would be 2-10 million reef fish per year. That would leave unreported, untaxed revenue in Hawaii of $20-30 million dollars.

Reef based tourism generates $800 million to $1 billion dollars annually. But not this year, because tourism is down, and the most frequently asked question at Snorkel Bob shops across Hawaii is: Where are all the fish? Oh, by the way, the DAR representative who gave me those stats is DAR State Administrator Dan Polhemus. Dr. Polhemus also acknowledged that 60 percent of all aquarium fish taken from Hawaii reefs are herbivores, and among the severest threats to Hawaii reef health is algae infestation. The aquarium fish collectors are wiping out our ecosystem for chump change. Mr. Smith referenced aquarium collector testimony at the hearings on SB 3225 earlier this year, saying that they want regulations. One of those collectors, another self-proclaimed “conservationist,” came to the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council shortly after those hearings, to announce his support for regulations.

TIT FOR TAT The answer to out of state guest tattoo artists [“‘Ink’ing it over,” August 7] is actually pretty simple: require them to hold a valid license from the state that they reside in. You could then issue a temporary permit for a certain period of time for the festival or whatever. If one is unsure about uneven regulations from other states, you just only offer the reciprocal license to tattoo artists from states that have standards comparable to Hawaii’s. No-brainer, really.

Mr. Sluggy, submitted online at mauitime.com

BAD EXPERIENCE A wiser man than me recently asked me how I felt about Obama. I explained that I was not a very bright person and needed guidance so this is what he said: A short time ago, some said that Obama lacked experience and was too young to lead our country. But we’ve lived with experience for 7 1/2 years now and look where we’ve been taken. Let’s try someone with less experience and see where we will go. It’s worth a try.

Afterward I asked what regulations he had in mind. He asked back. I said bag limits would be a good place to start— whoa, no! We don’t believe in bag limits. So there you go. Aquarium collecting is killing tourism, killing our reefs and is keeping Hawaii from its rightful abundance of reef fish. Aquarium collectors are not conservationists.

They’re motivated by personal gain in the short term. Now that is the point.

Cultivating change Sustainable Living’s ISLExpo sows seeds for food, energy security hree years ago, the Sustainable Living Institute of Maui introduced itself to the community with a glitzy private lu`au held on the lawn of an oceanfront Olowalu plantation home. To some, it appeared to be just more window dressing for CEO David Cole’s complete makeover of Maui Land & Pineapple, Inc., one of SLIM’s founding partners.

But clearly, with last weekend’s two-day Island Sustainable Living Expo at Maui Community College, SLIM has hit its stride as an influential force in the community.

The ambitious slate of panels, speakers, displays, music and food attracted hundreds of people and generated interest in the push for local food, energy and economic stability.

The seeds of change were evident, from electric vehicles parked on the great lawn to a variety of displays on local building materials, alternative energy strategies and homegrown ideas for food and business. Attendees even found a packet of herb or vegetable seeds stapled inside their conference packet.

Yet there were also reminders of our current limitations and nonsustainable ways: the drone of air conditioning in a room equipped for cross-ventilation, but with windows shut; a food concessionaire using Styrofoam bento containers; and lots of rah-rah rhetoric where clear leadership and action is required.

And why bother planning at all, asked one speaker at the end of a long first day of speakers and panel discussions. Elizabeth Cole, Deputy Director of the Kohala Center on the Big Island was asked to address what it will take to design a Maui Island Food and Energy Sustainability Plan.

“Traditionally in Hawaii,” said Cole, “we make big plans but never implement them and they sit on a shelf somewhere.” She recommended doing detailed “whole systems analysis” studies, with good number crunchers for energy, and seeking ways to combine different cycles such as converting waste to fertilizer. The Kohala Center has, in fact, prepared research reports covering waste management, food systems and the Hawaii Island Energy

Sustainability Plan. She emphasized that we need such good, credible information on which to base our vital decisions for the future.

“We need to cast our nets as widely as possible,” Cole said, “and allow for public input, really engage the public.

Entrenched thinking is hard to change, so we need to find points of agreement to work from.

“Ideas shouldn’t remain in paperwork,” she continued. “Don’t leave implementation to chance. You need to find dedicated, qualified people and pay them a living wage.”

food=$5 billion) can be reinvested locally and represents a, “tremendous market opportunity,” to bolster our economy.

Hamnett said scientists predict that even if current green house gas emissions ended tomorrow, they will continue to affect our climate for another 30 years. Coral bleaching, ocean acidification and sea level rise are serious matters to us, he noted.

“Energy conservation,” said Hamnett, “is the biggest resource we have and possibly the most underutilized.” Reducing fossil fuel use and

eynote speaker Michael Hamnett, Executive Director of the Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii, began the day with a sobering, no-nonsense message.

“Expect a serious drop in tourism,” Hamnett said. “It’s a bad outlook longterm as our economy sags while energy costs go up.”

Hamnett showed figures for the amount of land needed to produce just 20 percent of our ethanol needs from sugar cane—all 47,000 acres currently planted statewide, plus another 83,000 acres. “There ain’t enough land and water,” he emphasized, “for biofuels at the current technology.”

Continually balancing bad news with good news, he said that the $11 billion spent yearly on importing food and energy (fuel=$6 billion,

LC Watch Give ‘em a dance “We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.”

- Japanese proverb Dating back some time—and culminating at a meeting in March—a group called Maui Dance Advocates has been petitioning the LC to alter, or at least explain and clarify, its strange, murky rules on dancing. The Commission refused and a judge booted the case back down the ladder saying he didn’t have legal grounds to make a ruling. In short: nothing changed.

We called Maui Dance Advocates representative Anthony Simmons, who runs the group with his friend Ramoda, to see if there have been any new developments in the past five months.

Though he expressed frustration with the way they’ve been shut down by both the LC and the courts, Simmons said MDA hasn’t given up. Right now they’re trying to raise enough cash—the few hundred bucks it costs to file—to bring the case to state court with the help of their pro-bono attorney, Lance Collins, a former LC Adjudication Board member. Their hope is to see changes made, but at the very least they want to keep the issue in the news.

“Our biggest goal is public awareness,” said Simmons, adding that he’s amazed how many people still don’t know about the dancing rules and the way they’re enforced.

(For more info on MDA and its efforts, visit www.myspace.com/mauidanceadvocates.)

The overarching problem will be familiar to anyone who follows this space: the LC is subject to little or no oversight. They’re appointed, then let loose to enforce a set of often confounding and cryptic policies without anybody (except maybe us and Anthony and Ramoda) looking over their shoulder.

To end with a tease necessitated by the rapidly approaching bottom of the column, we’ll explore the oversight problem further and look at why change of the good variety might be afoot next week. Stay tuned.

ROBREPORT CULTIVATING: continued from pg 8 food imports for greater sustainability will require strong commitments and significant lifestyle changes. “There’s no free lunch,” Hamnett concluded, while noting, “we’ll probably have to eat less meat.” amnett’s message was echoed by Steve Quirt, Organic and Sustainable Agriculture Coordinator for Marin County, in partnership with the University of California Cooperative Extension. “We’re going to have to make some major changes,” said Quirt, sporting a surfer’s mop of graying hair. “All of us, everywhere.”

Quirt provided examples of Marin farming operations streamlining the distance from field to market and finding niche markets for “value-added” food products. He stressed the necessity of cooperation and partner-

ships, and recounted as an analogy how he and several passing motorists stopped and worked together to push a large boulder off a Maui highway during one of his previous visits.

Quirt submitted that one of the easiest ways to partner is to support local farmers. “The commodity system is a stranglehold to the small farmer or the new farmer,” he said. “Get closer to your market.

“Make eating locally your personal statement,” he added.

Providing an example of community supported agriculture was panelist Gerry Ross of Kula, who grows a diversified variety of vegetables and fruits on a family farm that once primarily raised corn. Customers come by once a week and stock up on seasonal crops, paying Ross $30 for a box of produce. It allows him to spend more time on his fouracre farm instead of transporting goods to market. He’s so successful that he now has a long waiting list. “I’m 200 percent over-subscribed,” Ross said.

Sprout farmer Vincent Mina said he services 52 accounts, and built his business on, “quality and service.” Both Ross and Mina are board members of the Maui County Farm Bureau and Mina also heads the Maui Aloha `Aina Association, which will sponsor its 8th annual Body and Soil Health conference in October, to be held on an Olinda organic farm.

aul Sheldon, Senior Consultant with Natural Capital Solutions of Eldorado Springs, Colorado, addressed, “The new energy economy and food security.” Sheldon said climate change dictates that we, “must act now,” and said that it’s vital to actively engage in restoration as a business model.

“We are living at a time in which corporations, governments and society must all reinvent themselves,” said Shelton. Government subsidies support large agribusiness, not family farms, he added.

PAYMENT$ TOO HIGH? Looking for a gas saver value?

“The national grain reserves of wheat, corn, and rice are at fifty-four days, the lowest they have ever been,” Sheldon said. “How much is the reserve on Maui?” Other speakers estimated the overall food supply in Hawaii at no more than seven days.

“Nineteen percent of the corn crop is being used to manufacture ethanol,” said Sheldon. “Water usage may be even more serious a challenge than energy. What’s our long-range plan?”

Sheldon also estimated U.S. energy waste at $300 billion, adding that energy efficiency is vastly untapped.

Sheldon offered a number of other solutions, including whole system design, industrial ecology, bio-mimicry and green nanotechnology. He directed audience members to extensive resources on the Natural Capitalism Solutions website.

A panel discussion on fuel and energy production choices titled From Fossils to Renewables sparked clear differences of opinion through the Expo audience. Maui County Energy Commissioner Victor Reyes echoed the call for the “low-hanging fruit” of energy efficiency and conservation while noting that Maui Electric Company, “earns more by selling more.”

“We can’t afford to have MECO fail,” said Reyes. “We need to make sure the utilities get their fair share of returns.”

That remark didn’t sit well with audience members who noted Hawaii pays the highest electric rates in the nation and that fuel costs are passed directly to ratepayers. As panelist Kelly King of Pacific Biodiesel put it, “We’re missing some shared values and goals. We need to help small businesses and ratepayers, not just MECO.” MECO President Ed Reinhardt conceded that they waited too long to “green our power plants.” He also expressed that changes won’t necessarily be cheaper.

Retired MCC Economics professor Dick Mayer took the microphone and

It’s Exciting!!!!

told Reinhardt he had been part of an energy planning group ten years ago that had urged MECO to make changes and wondered why they hadn’t done so.

“I wasn’t president back then,” said Reinhardt with a smile.

Other speakers recommended solutions that included decoupling the public utility from profits, seeking advanced energy storage systems for cheap, abundant renewables such as wind and limiting liquid biofuels to transportation usage, not electrical generation. Maui Electric consumed about 73 million gallons of diesel fuel in 2006.

“If we want to look at what are the most promising fuels for Maui,” said Pacific Biodiesel’s King, “first, we must look at our available resources.” Pacific Biodiesel produces fuel from recycled vegetable oil, a resource that at one time was dumped in the landfill. ohala Center’s Elizabeth Cole’s comment that we must, “cast our nets as widely as possible,” is particularly apropos given that the Sustainable Living Institute of Maui’s logo is a Hawaiian throw net fisherman. The practice requires timing, patience and skill and can only happen after countless hours spent constructing the net.

SLIM Executive Director Alex De Roode, assistant Alyse Takeyesu and staff, volunteers and sponsors deserve high praise for coordinating of a topnotch ISLExpo. By pooling and coordinating talent and making swift, wise decisions, Maui may soon begin to pull in local resources to meet more of its needs, just as native shore fisherman have done in Hawaii’s recent sustainable past.

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

prises you. Too much weird shit happens every day for any of it to stand out in the dung heap. But for every rule there is an exception, and in this case that exception is Julia Child, international spy. With the declassification today of WWII-era government files came the revelation that Child, famed foodie and the mother of televised cooking shows, was also an agent for FDR’s Office of Strategic Services (which went under the pretty-damn-coolsounding acronym OSS). When she wasn’t whipping up French cuisine, she was working to whip the Nazis. Man, they don’t make ‘em like they used to— something tells me in 60 years we’re not going to find out that Emeril and that dude from The Naked Chef were covertly hunting Bin Laden. NOTE: I’ve just been informed by a co-worker that Child’s involvement with OSS was already an open secret before the documents were declassified, but I didn’t know dammit and that’s all that counts.

Julia Child, preparing to send a coded message via fish guts.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 15 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13 Having never been on the receiving end of a government apology, I’m not really qualified to comment on their effectiveness. But then, I’m not qualified to comment on lots of things that I go ahead and comment on anyway, so let’s add to the list, shall we? Yesterday sate Senator Kalani English delivered an “our bad” on behalf of the Kingdom/republic/territory/state of Hawaii to the leprosy sufferers who were exiled to Molokai’s Kalaupapa peninsula beginning in 1866. “We’re sorry. We’re sorry for the treatment.

We’re sorry for the suffering that you’ve been through,” said English. So I guess that’s actually three apologies, and he was slated to say a few more today. Quoted in The Maui News, several former victims of the forced quarantine, which was mandatory until 1969, indicated that English’s words offered them a sense of vindication and a share of comfort; that’s a good thing and Lord knows they deserve both. But I always wonder with these symbolic gestures. To use a coarse and silly analogy, isn’t it kind of like the bully who steals your lunch money and beats you up, then a week later his mom makes him come say he’s sorry, but you’ve still got a black eye and are still down five bucks? On the other hand, any time the government’s willing to show even a shred of remorse and humility I suppose we should take it and like it.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 14 If you digest the news on a regular basis, you’ve probably gotten to the point, like me, where nothing sur-

Much as I try to wear my skeptical newsman’s hat even when I’m home at night with a few beers in me, I confess one glaring weakness: I’m a sucker for fantastical monster sightings. If I see a headline suggesting some tourist in Scotland has snapped a grainy picture of Nessy, my BS detector temporarily goes on the fritz and I eagerly click, ready to believe like a 6-year-old on December 24. So even though the two Georgia hillbillies who claim to have a Bigfoot carcass stuffed in their freezer rate about a negative 47 (out of 50) on the credibility scale—even though they’ve teamed up with a known scam artist who’s pulled sasquatch hoaxes in the past—I’m gonna cling to a shred of hope that this could actually be legit until it’s unequivocally confirmed the thing is just a Halloween costume coated in possum guts. Then I’ll grab another beer and wait for the next sighting…

In other news: As reported by numerous sources, a Native Hawaiian sovereignty group calling itself Kingdom of Hawaii briefly occupied the Iolani Palace on Oahu today and attempted to seat their leader, who claims to be the rightful king of the islands, on the throne. The only problem was, they couldn’t find the royal seat because they’d failed to case the joint beforehand. I’m going to resist the urge to make this into a trite “incompetent criminals” entry, however, because the issue is bigger than that. You’ve got the heated-yet-under-addressed debate over sovereignty, questions about police tactics, a palace employee who claims to have been assaulted and, in the end, another chance to tread that fine, ever-shifting line between crimi-

nal behavior and defensible political action… In other, other news: Oh man, this one’s tricky. Picking on other media outlets for petty errors is the lowest form of commentary and you’re just setting yourself up to look like an idiot when you make a boneheaded blunder down the road. But this is too juicy to pass up. Here’s a historyredefining snippet from a Maui News editorial titled “State holiday a quiet affair”: “Today is a state and county holiday commemorating Hawaii’s becoming the 51 st state.” Somewhere a copy editor just lost her wings.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16 Maybe you’ve noticed I haven’t mentioned the Olympics in this space, even though the games have predictably dominated the headlines for the past couple weeks. Rest assured, that hasn’t been done as some futile “Free Tibet” protest. (Look, the Dalai Llama seems like a swell guy but I’m sorry—lazy Americans who think they’re participating in a “boycott” by watching re-runs of Pimp My Ride instead of the women’s beach volleyball quarterfinals are delusional.) No, my silence isn’t a political statement; I just haven’t been that captivated by any of it. Michael Phelps winning his 287th gold medal? Yawn.

LeBron James and the “Redeem Team” putting on a dunking clinic, making poor Angola look like a bunch of uncoordinated 8-year-olds? Snore. Fencing?

Skeet shooting? (Seriously, skeet shooting?) Ah, but here’s something kind of cool: After languishing on the bench for 90 minutes, Hawaii’s own Natasha Kai finally got on the field and promptly kicked (or rather, headed) the winning

goal in a 2-1 victory over Canada that advanced the USA women’s soccer team to the semifinal round. Local girl makes good, and with a put-me-in-coach, Rocky-esque flair to boot. (Hey, soccer pun.) Now if only I could find a reason to care about badminton.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 17 OK badminton enthusiasts, look up from those angry letters for a moment: I’m sure your pastime of choice takes a fair amount of skill and many long hours of practice to master. But so do lots of other mundane and/or ridiculous activities. Just because something is hard to do doesn’t mean it should be televised and passed off as a spectator sport. Unless they decide to add snarky column writing to the 2012 games, in which case I am so there.

MONDAY, AUGUST 18 I am going to show restraint. I am not going to kick former Johnny Carson sidekick and Publishers Clearing House pitchman Ed McMahon while he’s down. I am not going to sarcastically and rhetorically wonder if he’s going to pay back all those creditors who are suing him by coming to their doors with oversized novelty checks. That would be cruel, and really not even very funny.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 19 Well, it’s been confirmed; “Bigfoot” was just a rubber costume. Now the two hillbillies who pulled the hoax have vanished, leaving the rest of us to sit and wait for the next attention-seeking wacko to come out of the woodwork and give us momentary cause to suspend disbelief. Where’s my beer? MTW

More bad news for commuters, and no points for guessing it’s related to fuel costs: The formerly state-subsidized ferry that shuttles non-aquatic life forms between Molokai and Maui is hiking ticket prices by a hefty $26. The “fuel surcharge” brings the cost of a one-way inter-island trip to $68.40 for adults and $47.20 for kids 12 and under.

In addition to riders, the rate increase will affect the many businesses on Maui that buy tickets for their Molokai employees. It’s up to the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission to decide whether Sea Link of Hawaii, which operates the ferry, can make the surcharge permanent. A series of public hearings on the matter are scheduled for the end of August (for more info visit puc.hawaii.gov).

Folks on Molokai won’t just be paying more for ferry service; they’ll have to shell out extra cash for water, too. The PUC approved a temporary rate increase for both Molokai Public Utilities Inc. (from $3.18 to $6.04 per 1,000 gallons) and Waiola o Molokai Inc. (from $1.85 to $5.15 per 1,000 gallons). The PUC said the move was made to save both utilities from insolvency. Quoted in PBN, PUC Chairman Carlito Caliboso framed the decision as a take-this-medicine-even-if-it-tastes-bad kind of deal. “We need to do what we can to require the utilities to keep operating, at least temporarily, for the sake of the health and welfare of the people of West Molokai,” he said.

Hawaii Business magazine just put out its annual “Top 250” list, chronicling the most powerful players in the state. The rankings are based mostly on gross sales, with number of employees used as a tiebreaker. Mirroring 2007, BancWest Corp. nabbed the top spot followed by Hawaiian Electric Industries Inc., Hawaii Medical Service Association and Alexander & Baldwin. The only change in the top five was Kamehameha Schools, which moved up a notch from ‘07. But enough about the top dogs; with lists like these we’re always more interested in who barely made the cut. So congrats to 3M Hawaii, lucky number 250.

If misery truly does love company—and we’ve honestly never been too sure about that aphorism; sometimes when you’re miserable it’s best to be alone—there’s some “good” news for the 274 people who were recently pink-slipped by Maui Land & Pineapple: they’re not alone. According to figures released by the U.S. Department of Labor and reported in Pacific Business News, there were nine “mass layoffs” in Hawaii in the second quarter of 2008, landing just under 2,500 workers in the unemployment line. Nationwide, there were over 1,500 mass layoffs—defined as 50 or more people getting axed—leading to the termination of almost 300,000 workers. That’s roughly the equivalent of the entire adult population of Honolulu.

Losing their jobs. In three months.

In beer news (I just like saying that): While many red-blooded, aleswilling Americans from Maui to Missouri no doubt cringed at the announcement that St. Louisbased brewer Anheuser “This Bud’s For You” Busch had been sold to a Belgian company, there’s at least one person who’s not spilling any tears over the deal: CEO August Busch IV. Busch IV (why is it always guys with Roman numerals after their names who make out like bandits in big corporate mergers?) will get a $10.4 million bonus and a yearly “consulting” stipend of $120K through 2013 after the $52 billion deal is officially consummated, according to CNNMoney.com. But forget already insanely rich men getting even wealthier, let’s address the question that’s really on everyone’s mind: Will those annoying Budweiser frogs make a Flemish-speaking comeback? MTW

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD SHARED LABOR Martha Padgett gave birth to quadruplets in Riverside, Calif., in July, but she only did half the work. The other two babies were born to her partner, Karen Wesolowski, using Padgett’s eggs and the same sperm donor, and whose two came along 22 hours after Padgett’s two. The women carried two fertilized eggs each only because they had failed five times before with invitro fertilization and just wanted to improve the odds of having at least one child between them.

HEALING YOU BLIND “Someone’s getting a new spinal cord tonight!” yelled Canadian tentrevival preacher Todd Bentley in July during his crusade in Lakeland, Fla. (also telecast on GodTV and the Internet), according to an Associated Press observer. Miracles are “popping like popcorn,” he promised, punctuating each hands-on salvation with an Emeril-type “Bam!” His unorthodoxy extends to sometimes roughing up the afflicted, he admits, because that’s what God tells him to do, e.g., kneeing a “cancer patient” in the stomach, banging a crippled woman’s leg on a platform. Anyone in need of healing should, Bentley shouts often, “come and get some!”

BLAME THE FLACCID ECONOMY “The days of the ceramics trade here are numbered,” lamented Francisco Figueriredo, 68, and the specific ceramics trade of his region (Portugal’s Caldas da Rainha) happens to be ornamental penises. For more than 30 years, Figueriredo and his wife have been two of a small number of craftspeople who have shaped and molded various models for export (e.g., mugs with penis extensions, penis-shaped bottles, ceramic soccer figures with penises peeking out from under flags).

A July Reuters dispatch attributed the decline to a general loss in the provocativeness of public sexual displays.

Inexplicably, at least 100,000 people in the country line dance weekly, and the popularity is growing, according to a May dispatch in The Times of London. A French Dance Federation official said he guesses the preference of line dancing over square dancing is the French preference for no physical contact.

2007 ‘Best of Maui’ Winner BEST TATTOO SHOP

Rodney McLagan, 48, acknowledged that a few pornographic images of children might have been among the 31,000 that he had downloaded from the Internet, but that he has never had a sexual interest in children. Rather, almost all of the images are of adults having sex with animals. As his lawyer pointed out in court in Hobart, Australia, in July, McLagan has such low self-esteem that he considers himself, too, a “beast.” Included in the sex collection were dogs, ponies, snakes, tigers and, in one case, an octopus.

In June, police in Spokane, Wash., arrested Calvin Robinson, 19, who had set up inside the lockable family restroom at a mall because he needed an electrical outlet to run the color printer he had just bought for $100 (in real money) in order to make counterfeit $10 bills. Police recovered a sheet of uncut, poorly made copies, which Robinson said he had intended to use to buy “90 dollars” worth of marijuana.

GOLD YOU SO In 2001, News of the Weird noted Hong Kong jeweler Lam Sai-wing’s monument to excess, the solid-gold bathroom (including flushable toilet), built as a tribute to Vladimir Lenin’s critique of capitalism’s wastefulness. (“(W)e shall use gold,” wrote Lenin, “for the purpose of building public lavatories in the streets of some of the largest cities in the world.”) Lam later added more fixtures, furniture and statues to his display, using a total of six tons of 24-carat gold. However, the world economy is different now, as Lam noted in a July Wall Street Journal profile, with gold that cost around $200 an ounce in 1999 now valued at nearly $900. He has decided to begin melting down the entire structure, except for the toilet, that is. “I don’t care if gold hits $10,000 an ounce,” he said. “I’m not melting (that) down.” MTW

“

nce you start taking care of the ‘aina, you just can’t stop,” Les Potts tells me as he picks up an empty soda can and tosses it into the bed of his pickup. I’ve come just past the bay in hopes of finding some northern wind swell relief from another southern summer flat spell when I run into Potts—hardcore surfer, shaper, musician and founder of the Honolua Bay Advisory Council. He constantly combs the area and picks up trash, which he continues to look for as we check the surf.

After some wishful thinking about the waves, Potts and I talk story about what may soon become the largest real estate transaction in Maui’s recent history—Maui Land and Pineapple Co.’s Honolua/Lipoa Point Conservation Plan.

Many tides ago, ML&P’s conservation plan included 40 luxury homes and an 18-hole golf course as integral components of their vision to “manage” Honolua Bay. However, intense community opposition inspired the company to withdraw their original conceptual plan.

ML&P returned to the drawing board with input from the Honolua Point Advisory Council, the Save Honolua Coalition and Maui County officials to create another conservation plan for the world-class surf spot. Their new proposal involves the creation of the Lipoa Conservation Trust, a public/private trust that would be expected to create an endowment of public funds to manage a 255-acre parcel of Lipoa Point, donated by ML&P. Additionally, ML&P proposes to dedicate 3,000 acres of their land into a conservation easement. This land includes five miles of shoreline north of the windmills as well as lands in both Honolua and Honokahau valleys.

“To me, this is a golden opportunity and we should not pass on this deal,” says Potts. “Without this conservation easement, there could be houses on the shoreline all the way to Nakalele. Plus, this public/private trust secures the kind of access we want to keep. None of the surfers want picnic tables and concrete steps and that’s what would happen if this point were deeded to the county.”

Our conversation quickly jumps back into the water and the rising wind swell. Potts thinks it’s ironic that two surfers are overlooking the ocean and discussing real estate and development. He’s from a time when surfers were truly counterculture and such discussions were left to landlubbers and yuppies. After some unreal stories about his days in the late ‘60s on the North Shore, I couldn’t help but wish that I grew up during those simpler times. Surfers often traded words and fists while competing for waves, but they weren’t fighting multi-million dollar corporations like ML&P, a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

I thanked Potts for his efforts, promised to attend the August 6 public information meeting, and pulled my rickety truck out of the fields.

Through my rearview mirror, I saw Potts collecting empty beer bottles where pineapples once sprouted.

“

thought we would all be heard here tonight. Some of us have things to say. And some of us no can read, no can write. Why do we have to write our questions down on a piece of paper?” asks a concerned citizen after the moderator explains the meeting format.

President of the Save Honolua Coalition, Kahu David Kapaku, tells the man that the format has been decided and advises him to seek assistance from someone nearby. Kapaku assures all of us that every voice matters, that we’re all in this process together, and we all join hands for his opening prayer.

After his blessing, Kapaku jokingly says, “Oh and by the way. If we should have any problems here tonight, the police department is just across the way.” Although a portion of the audience breaks into laugher, I don’t think he’s entirely joking.

The project, presented by the Save Honolua Coalition, is titled “One Plan, One Pulse.” The goal is to “maintain open space, public access, and revitalize the ecosystem of Honolua Ahupua`a through community based management utilizing Hawaiian values and practices.”

However, when it comes time for ML&P’s presentation of “One Plan, One Pulse,” it seems that the company actually has several plans for the

area. In exchange for the 255 acres directly adjacent to the bay, ML&P is asking for 212 acres of land mauka of Lipoa Point to be zoned “Important Ag Land.” They are also asking for all Transient Vacation Rental (TVR) restrictions to be lifted from the Kapalua Mauka Project.

And they want zoning changes to allow for a 60-room boutique hotel within Kapalua Mauka.

Kapalua Mauka is a long-term development directly above the current resort. The project finally won approval in 2006 after county officials debated with ML&P about the need for more affordable housing units within the project. Upon approval, a percentage of the 690 planned units are supposed to be affordable but the lift on TVR restrictions within the resort would negate the affordable housing clause of their agreement. ML&P contends they will still be offering affordable housing in their Pulelehua project, another company development currently awaiting county approval.

“It’s always a shell game with ML&P,” says Lucienne de Naie, Statewide Chair of Sierra Club Hawaii and candidate for Maui County Council. “Who really knows what their plans are with this deal? I

“We can’t afford to just give the land away,” he says. “We want to preserve Honolua Bay but we also have stockholders to think about here, so we must preserve the bay while creating value for our company. If this deal should go through, we also need to be sure that the trust secures finances needed to manage the area far into the future. And please keep in mind that this is not an open-ended deal.” s the setting sun draws shadows on the Lahaina Civic Center, panel and audience members inside are becoming exhausted contemplating the future uncertainties Maui will face in the effort to save Honolua Bay. The night hasn’t been a loss or a victory for anyone, but rather a view into the stark reality of a dwindling island economy, a corporation’s bottom line and the unknown fate of a world-class wave.

Shortly before the closing prayer, Kahu David Kapaku tells the assembled crowd that “this is the first of many more conversations. But we as a community need to trust this plan.”

Afterwards, I speak with Councilmember Jo Anne Johnson about the deal. “I can clearly understand why there is a lot of mistrust from the pub-

“It’s always a shell game with ML&P,” says County Council candidate Lucienne de Naie. “Who really knows what their plans are with this deal?” think it’s great that the surfers and citizens of this community were actually able to get this company to listen to them and design some sort of conservation plan. But we need to keep in mind that this company has a history of quickly changing their plans without any warning. They closed their Kahului cannery and laid off 120 employees in June of 2007, claiming they would shift focus to their more profitable fresh pineapple operations in West Maui. Only a year later, they’ve laid off 274 more employees, the majority of them from fresh pineapple operations.”

ML&P spokesperson Teri Freitas Gorman blames the recent job losses on the economy. “With the current economy, and the cheaper cost of producing pineapple elsewhere in today’s world market, revenue from our real estate gains have just not been able to offset the tremendous cost we incur harvesting pineapple on Maui.”

Gorman says the company has “seen solid losses over the past 13 quarters.” But, she adds, “anybody who really takes a look at ML&P’s history will see that we have done more than any other company to save pineapple production in Hawaii.”

“I’m not saying ML&P has not done a lot of good for this island in the past,” says de Naie. “And I know times are tough. But recently, with such quick and drastic changes, to me it is clear that ML&P’s current leadership has a real lack of integrity.”

One part of ML&P’s Lipoa Point deal that remains unclear is the 212 acres they want zoned under a new Important Ag Land law. Several people at the August 6 meeting ask ML&P Property Manager Kalani Schmidt to clarify the ramifications of this zoning.

“We’re not exactly sure how this new law will be applied yet,” says Schmidt. “There are some restrictions on subdivisions, but development is still possible, though much more restricted.” The audience breaks into scattered groans and whispers as Schmidt tries to explain ML&P’s justification behind “One Plan, One Pulse.”

lic right now,” she says. “ML&P has shown a lack of continuity and followthrough on several of their projects. But we need to sit down with them and figure all of this out. We need to address several issues, ask some tough questions and make sure all parties are held accountable for their end of the deal. This dedication of their lands should be in perpetuity and it should be irrevocable in order to have concessions on their Kapalua Mauka project.”

Perhaps ML&P’s Lipoa point deal really is a legitimate attempt to take care of this priceless land. Maybe they can mend some broken promises by honoring some new ones. My greatest wish is that ML&P will start feeling the way Les Potts feels: “Once you start taking care of the ‘aina, you just can’t stop.”

But I’m thinking ML&P is more concerned with selling the ‘aina than taking care of it. And I’m wondering where it will stop. MTW

Yet the addition of avocado rockets these rolls to the top of my list. The place’s breezy aloha feel adds to its appeal, but since I am limited to this Southeast Asian burrito-esque dish here, I’ll have to go on about that at a later date. 65 Hana Highway, Paia.

This place is tucked away in a strip mall food court. I associate food courts in general with the sixth food group (plastics), and thus would never have thought to stop by were it not for a coworker’s suggestion. They have a pretty extensive vegetarian menu, so getting summer rolls sans shrimp was not a problem. The rolls here are rebels: they do not employ vermicelli and the tofu is cooked more thoroughly. I don’t mind the lack of noodles given my desire to limit my carbohydrate intake. In their starchy place was an array of veggies that included lettuce and carrots. The accompanying peanut sauce deserves mention. 270 Dairy Rd. #166 Kahului, 877-2400.

VIETNAMESE CUISINE For some reason, summer rolls are listed on the appetizer page of most menus. Yet they tend to be served in portions large enough to constitute a meal. They may not look it, but the damn things are filling. Still, I have gotten raised eyebrows for ordering just the rolls. This place definitely did not skimp. Roll components here are more traditional, but given the recipe’s never-fail tendency, this makes for a successful roll. What adds to this dish’s ability to fill is the thick peanut sauce served alongside the two rolls. Bonus: you can concoct your own flavor using the array of sauces featured at the table; among them sriracha (the one with the rooster on the bottle).

Spice-ay! 1280 S. Kihei Rd. #107, Kihei, 875-2088.

SAENG’S Even if it were not so proximal to my two places of work, Saeng’s would still make the list. They follow a similar formula to those listed above, only they cut theirs into smaller pieces. Here, they are nice enough to swap out shrimp for tofu even though tofu summer rolls are not listed on the menu, and they’ll whip up a mean cosmo for you if you ask nicely. The peanut sauce here works well; I was at no point tempted to dip my summer roll slices in my drink. 2119 Vineyard St. Wailuku, 244-1567.

YOUR KITCHEN In light of the current economic slump, I recognize that some readers may be reluctant to dine out. Unlike Mainlanders, we have summer roll components at our fingertips. While mainland grocery stores typically do not offer summer roll wrappers or rice vermicelli, they do here, and dirt-cheaply so. Proper summer roll construction involves said wrappers and cooked rice vermicelli, lightly sauteed tofu (or shrimp, I reluctantly concede), fresh cilantro/mint/basil, julienne carrots and your sprout-of-choice. Add or subtract ingredients to your liking. After you soak the wrapper in warm water, you basically follow the same protocol you would a burrito— remember to fold in the sides before you roll. As for sauce, I would spend a few bucks on a jar of peanut sauce (then again I’m strapped for time). Do not be discouraged if some of your finished product falls apart; forks exist for a reason. Ingredients available at grocery stores island-wide. MTW

Not just for carnivores Jawz Tacos in Kihei satisfies on all links of the food chain erhaps the most disheartening thing a vegan or vegetarian can hear when trying to order at a restaurant after a long beach day/workout/11-hour workday is, “we have salad.”

At many establishments, said salad con-

sists of iceberg lettuce chunks, zombie tomato slices, and random vinegar. Yet many restaurants on Maui are surprisingly veggie-friendly. Some even offer robust stirfries and the option of subbing tofu or portabella mushrooms for meat in certain dishes.

When it comes to burrito joints I am generally skeptical, given the amount of animal products associated with this versatile food item, including lard, which often hides in vats of refritos. When walking in I usually wonder if I’ll have to subsist on Corona while my associates nosh quesadillas and chorizo burritos, not that I wouldn’t be cool with that.

Admittedly I find that the toughest thing about my dietary choice is not the lack of availability of dishes that are sans-meat, dairy, eggs, etc., but rather having to be a huge pain in the ass by asking for modifications to menu items. Or, worse yet, making my friends/family worry whether there will be options when we

go out to eat. For me, part of the draw of Jawz Tacos is that ordering there doesn’t make me feel like a nitpicky jerk.

I recently spotted the teriyaki tofu burrito on their takeout menu and immediately enlisted Sarah, another vegetable devotee, to sample one post Little Beach one Sunday night. A delightful discovery upon our arrival was the availability of Maui Brewing Co.’s Big Swell IPA, one of my most favored schwilling implements. Bonus: it was half off, given that happy hour is all day Sundays (3-6pm all other days).

While waiting for our order we checked out the salsa bar, which featured unexpected variations on this vital condiment. I dug the tropical pico de gallo most. The bar featured incongruous items like wasabi and soy sauce, presumably for the fish tacos in which Jawz specializes.

Then came the burritos. Admittedly, tofu is one of the most hit-or-miss compounds on the planet. Anyone who’s had it more than once will tell you this. Still, whatever Jawz did to render curdled soybean juice into the otherworldly contents of our burritos warrants a Nobel Prize. MTW

Save Makena Beach Day Saturday (Aug. 23), Third entrance, Big Beach, Makena [Environment] Few excuses fly for missing out on a perfectly good beach dayespecially one on a Saturday in August. Add free food, DJ music, a bodyboard competition, and a good cause to that beach day and you have the kind of end-of-summer beach say you cannot miss. Save Makena is putting on this event with help from the Surfrider Foundation and Maui Tomorrow. The purpose, aside from fun? To raise awareness for Save Makena, a group that aims to educate the public on proposed developments and other potential threats to South Maui’s pristine beaches. Save Makena founder Angie Hoffman says that on Saturday there will be information tables featuring maps of proposed developments in the area- namely Wailea 670 and Makena Resort.

“We want to make sure people understand what this would actually look like,” Hoffman said.

Of course, it’s perfectly all right to come out just to compete in the bodyboarding contest. There will be six age divisions as well as female categories in both bodyboarding and skim boarding competitions. The contest will take place near the third entrance to Oneloa (Big Beach) State Pak. The scenery at this gorgeous beach alone should be enough to bring you out. Festivities begin at 8am and wrap up at 5pm, after which there will be an after party with drink specials at Stella Blue in Kihei. For more details, call 357-3134. [Kate Bradshaw]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS Happy tears in Lahaina Saturday (Aug. 23), all day, Whaler’s Village, Lahaina [FESTIVAL] How’s about a bit of word association? When I say (or write, rather) “Maui,” what word immediately pops into your head? I mean, after “wowie.” Most people have the word “onion” swimming in their brain as well as the accompanying image of a bag of potato chips. Kula-grown Maui onions are said to be the sweetest in the world due to their low sulfur content.

I’ll buy that, rather than sink my teeth into a series of raw bulbs in pursuit of solid proof. The 19th Annual Maui Onion Festival celebrates this worldrenowned tearjerker by presenting it prepared in a variety of ways by a diverse roster of chefs and vendors.

The event typically draws thousands and features live music, local produce, raw onion-eating contests and, as you may imagine, demonstrations on the astonishing number of things one can do with a Maui Sweet. Onion rings are only the beginning. I expect an island-wide spike in chewing gum sales. Call 661-4567 for more info. Free. [KB]

In fact, I would go so far as to say that, were this year’s presidential race to come down to McCain and a Persian born last month, I’d bet my eyeballs on the Persian. One thing kitties are not good at: not breeding. The Iao Needle State Park parking lot provides ample evidence of this. The same goes for dogs.

The Maui Humane Society has worked tirelessly to spread awareness of animals in need of loving homes, the importance of spaying/neutering pets and other animal welfare issues. They’ve done tons to improve the quality of life for Maui residents both fuzzy and not-so-fuzzy; here’s your chance to give back. Today’s event aims to raise money that will go toward helping Maui’s orphaned pets, and features a leisurely walk, art, food and pet tricks. Comedian Augie T. and his morning crew will emcee.

Ram Dass weekend retreat Surfboard Art Show Friday-Saturday-Sunday (Aug. 23, 24, 25), all day, Studio Maui, Haiku

Saturday (Aug. 23) 7pm, Café Marc Aurel, Wailuku

[WEEKEND RETREAT] If you’ll recall from The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, former Harvard professors Ram Dass (then Richard Alpert) and Timothy Leary were acid guru Ken Kesey’s East Coast counterparts. Alpert and Leary were portrayed as having taken a more clinical approach to ingesting psychedelics while the Kesey crowd basically wanted to party. Kesey and Leary both passed away in 1997, but Alpert, who changed his name to Ram Dass (“servant of God”) in 1967, continues to walk the walk. He parted ways with Leary in the late ‘60s, headed to India, and has since sought to teach spirituality on a broad scale, beginning with the seminal spiritual instruction book Be Here Now. Now living on Maui, Ram Dass recently collaborated with Ausralian DJ Kriece on a CD entitled Cosmix. This weekend’s retreat features musical performances by Lei’ohu Ryder, Ty Burhoe, Karnamrite, and Marc St. Pierre. The retreat will also feature yoga, devotional practices and dance. A weekend pass will run you $108, day passes are $40-$60 and concert/satsang admission is $25. Call 5759390 or visit www.ramdass.org or www.thestudiomaui.org. [KB]

For the past couple of months, tattoo art has adorned the walls of this Wailuku café. This Saturday the medium of choice shifts from skin to boards. As a visual art medium, surfboards offer just as much potential for elaborate and vibrant art as does the epidermis. And, unlike tattoo art shows, displaying a piece’s original medium does not raise any ethical questions (the outgoing tattoo display did not, for the record, feature actual skin). Plus, the works that will be featured at Saturday’s show will go beyond painted boards. Expect to see sculpture, photography, painting and perhaps a thing or two you may not have imagined. Good music, too, given that the event aims to celebrate surf culture. Presented

Shooting blanks Fred Durst’s directorial debut goes limp irected by Fred Durst (of the band Limp Bizkit), The Longshots is a cookie-cutter feel good kids movie that seems like it was made by some faulty gadget stuck on autopilot.

Jasmine’s knockabout Uncle Curtis who rises to the occasion to help lead Jasmine’s football team when their coach falls ill.

It’s impossible to talk about movies without taking into consideration the influence of their directors. The “auteur” stratagem for categorizing and analyzing directors whose original work carries identifiable themes and methods for working with actors and shooting conditions has ingrained itself into everyday discussion. But there’s a category of hack directors constantly being shoveled into Hollywood’s readymade system whose lack of fundamental competency insults the director’s job title with impunity. Such is the situation with Fred Durst, whose introduction into the Hollywood community comes as an exercise in remedial storytelling.

Durst never settles on whether Curtis or Jasmine is the protagonist of the piece, and puts the audience in the tedious position of waiting for one character to finally establish his or her dominance. It’s a waiting game that never pays off. It doesn’t help matters that Ice Cube is allowed to carry on his trademark monotone hangdog delivery that

BY YNEZ TONGSON YNEZ@MAUITIME.COM

Steel got it Legendary roots reggae collective combines activism, great tunes hen people describe Steel Pulse, they usually use words like “innovative,” “prolific” and “provocative.” See, barely a sentence into this article and those words were already used to describe them.

That is to say, Steel Pulse is pretty much a big deal. On an island where reggae seems to be the prevailing musical choice, I wouldn’t be surprised if people were more acquainted with the pioneering members of Steel Pulse, than, say…the Beatles.

The roots reggae band was originally formed at the Handsworth Wood Boys School in Birmingham, England. While the band has periodically changed members during its long-running career, founding members David Hinds and Selwyn Brown are still active. Steel Pulse debuted in 1975 with the album Kibudu, Mansetta and Abuku, which told the story of urban black youth juxtaposed with the image of a greater African homeland. While the bumping beats and radical rhythms of Steel Pulse

W

might catch your ear, it’s their message that holds you there, demanding you open your eyes to issues greater than yourself.

It’s this idea that is a driving force in the creation and maintenance of the legendary roots collective. Especially in our modern age of discord and apathy, Steel Pulse’s message of activism and heartfelt empathy to the human race is welcome and should be embraced.

Steel Pulse Saturday, August 23, 6pm Maui Arts & Cultural Center Tickets: $35-$40; 242-7469 Other issues that Steel Pulse has helped highlight for the reggae-loving masses include racism and religious discrimination. Of course, Steel Pulse has felt the effects of the injustices that they fight so valiantly against. They were strangely refused appearances in Caribbean venues in

England due to their Rastafarian beliefs and musical themes. In the ‘90s, they filed a $1 million class action suit against New York’s City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission, stating that cab drivers refused to give rides to blacks and Rastafarians.

Maybe you don’t want to know about all the amazing feats of socio-political activism.

Maybe you’re one of those people who are “all about the music.” Well, you’re in luck.

Steel Pulse is internationally recognized and has contributed to desultory projects ranging from the soundtrack to Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing to reggae covers of the Police for an upcoming reggae compilation of Police classics. They have also performed at some of the world’s largest reggae festivals, including repeated appearances at the annual Reggae on the River Festival in Northern California. In 1986 they won a Grammy award for their album Babylon, The Bandit. Additionally, they received nominations for theirVictims, Rastafaria Cennial, Earth Crisis and Rage & Fury.

If you don’t believe Steel Pulse is all that, here’s my last testament to their greatness:

My parents, who I consider to be music snobs with no great fondness of most mainstream reggae, saw Steal Pulse live, back in their heyday. And they liked them. I think this solidifies the statements “long-running career” and “legendary.” So, bust out your copy of Rastantholgy (or borrow your friend’s…this is Maui, someone you know will have it) and prepare to skank your way into the night.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) If you can’t be there personally, be careful who you choose to represent you. Not everyone who’d volunteer truly has your best interests at heart. In fact, most would put their own selfish desires first and only look after what’s good for you once their own needs are taken care of. This is likely to have small consequences if you’re just sending someone to do the grocery shopping, and tremendous ones if there’s more at stake, like a job or a lover.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

– – “Na– ‘Oiwi ‘Olino – People Seeking Wisdom” 6:30a.m. – 9a.m. weekday mornings on

You couldn’t be more surprised if the Queen of England showed up on your doorstep and declared you her heir to the throne. Unfortunately, if you land yourself in a position of power on any scale, it’s not likely to be as good a deal as it seems at first. In fact, if I were you, I’d be highly suspicious— whoever put you up for the job was probably trying to avoid falling into a trap themselves. However, now that the Queen’s here, it’s not like you can tell her to take the crown back and go home.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) It’s like you’re desperately thirsty but refusing to drink because the restaurant only has lemonade, beer, and water, and you’re craving iced tea. Yes, the options before you are nothing like what you came in here looking for, but they’re what’s actually on the menu. Raising a stink isn’t going to make what you want appear out of thin air. Yes, you could walk out and try someplace different, but chances are it’ll be more of the same. Make the best of things as they are right now, instead of wishing they were otherwise.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Watch out for the sucker punch. You’ve gone so long relatively unchallenged that the only way anybody will have the guts to try to knock you down is by attempting to surprise you, go behind your back, or otherwise take advantage of your laidback nature and your trust. Now, don’t get all paranoid and suspicious. The vast majority of people in your life still deserve the benefit of the doubt. There are one or two people you know who are a little shadier. You know who I’m talking about. Keep an eye on them, this week.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Here’s to quitting your day job, or transforming it into something you actually like. That means being more imaginative, resourceful, and risk-taking than you have been this past year. While it’s not necessarily time to take the leap just yet, that moment is fast approaching. You already have some ideas about how you might bring about this exciting and hopefully more fulfilling chapter of your breadwinning career. Spend this week setting yourself up so that when it’s time to jump, you’ll be suited up and ready, with a parachute and a soft place to land.

– – “Na– ‘Oiwi ‘Olino – People Seeking Wisdom” is a morning drive-time radio program presented by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, with hosts Brickwood Galuteria and Kimo Kaho‘a–no.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) People change, even you. While your thorough self-knowledge can be a strength, as with all these things it can hold you back as well. What you knew about yourself years ago may no longer be true, only you haven’t bothered to check. Your assumption that you’re the same person you were a decade ago is more wrong than right. Take a minute to review what you think you know about yourself. Some of your dreams, desires, and preferences have mutated while you weren’t looking.

Take a few minutes to reassess and reorder your priorities accordingly.

Empowering Hawaiians, Strengthening Hawai‘i

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) How long will you let yourself feel stuck in your own skin? Everyone wants to change, and you’ve already figured out that you’re not like those impetuous Aries or determined Capricorns; you can’t wreak true transformation on yourself overnight. You need time to practice being the new you, time to unlearn your habits. Give yourself that time this week. Hint: It’s a lot easier to try on a new way of being someplace where no one knows you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Learn tact. Usually, you just bumble through with your brash, uncensored honesty and people roll with it, forgiving you when you go too far and finding you hilarious and refreshing when it’s just enough. However, that strategy doesn’t always work, because it requires a certain amount of goodwill on the part of those listening to you. Your kind of somewhat brutal truth only makes those already hostile toward or suspicious of you more defensive. This week might require a bit more diplomacy. You actually know more about being polite and subtle than you let on. This week, show us just how inoffensive you can be.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Knowing what you like is mostly a good thing, but it’s also limiting. Just because the rut you’re stuck in is comfortable doesn’t make it any less of a rut. Go ahead and stick to the tried-and-true most of the time, but make openings so something fresh and unfamiliar can enter your life. Resolve to try one new thing a day, starting now. Out of the 365 things you’ll sample in the next year, I predict no fewer than twelve will make you wonder how you lived without them before, and one will have the potential to transform your life.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Don’t get too upset if you’re disrespected by someone you barely know this week. Also, don’t go out of your way to try to “fix” their ideas about you. People are likely to not only see their own skewed version of you, but to misinterpret what you’re up to. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to correct them right now. Instead keep up with your own agenda, and give these people as little time, thought, and energy as you can get away with right now. There’ll be time to address their misconceptions later, if you still want to.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Some people just plain don’t like you, and they’re not likely to be shy about expressing it this week. What you have to ask yourself is this: do they hate who you are, or your actions? Obviously, if it’s your very identity they disapprove of, there’s not much you can do about it; I’d just ignore it, and them, in that case. If it’s what you’re up to that’s consternating them, however, that’s a different story, since it’s something you could actually do something about.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You’re you without apology, and you wouldn’t really have it any other way. However, that does occasionally lead to some tough situations where you have to face the fact that some people just can’t stand you. Stick to your guns anyway, even in the face of what may turn into open hostility. Be real.

What you’ll discover is that your enemies and critics are no less likely to back down than you are.

AUGUST 21, 2008

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

The end of summer vacation is finally here. Yeah, to some of you this is old news. But for my family, school just started on Tuesday. I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but the public vs. private school schedules don’t match up at all anymore.

I’ll come out and say upfront that I’m a firm believer in the private school system, but then again I’m extremely biased. I went to a private school my whole life (even college) except for my freshman year of high school, which was spent at Maui High and I did not do well. I went from being a 3.8 student to a 1.8. I got kicked off the track team (which made The Maui News, by the way) even though I was a State Champion contender.

I’m not going to completely blame the DOE here. I realize that probably the biggest reason for me doing so poorly for my one year in public school was the shock of leaving a class of eight and joining one of about 400. But on the other hand, one can’t argue that there are myriad reasons why a small class is better, way better, for a kid than a big class.

It’s a duh that kids get more individualized attention in a small class.

Growing up, my teachers knew the name of my pets, my grandma and the size of my shoe. They knew if I was having problems at home, or if my dog died. This is a good thing, because teachers who are emotionally invested in children beyond ABC’s and 123’s are going to try harder to meet their students’ needs.

Also, in private school, discipline usually comes swifter and with more bite.

Sure, this kind of sucked in third grade when I was holding my ankles and getting swatted on my butt for not doing my homework; but it’s effective.

I still have friends from kindergarten because my class was like a little family rather than a school. Do the math, we’ve been friends for 25 years. In fact, my two best friends are my longest-running relationships. Our friendships may very well outlast our marriages.

And it’s not that a homey atmosphere or corporal punishment meant that we weren’t learning anything. On the contrary, the students at my school all scored very high on standardized tests. You can’t say that about kids in the public school system.

Oh yeah, I’m going there.

The Maui News recently published Maui County results for the Hawaii State Assessment Test. I’m not going to sit here and retype all the data for you, but for example: 49 percent of Baldwin High 10th graders are “well below” standard in math and a quarter of the students are well below standard in reading.

The Kalama school kids have it even worse. A whopping 62 percent of them are well below the standard in math. Waihee School, Maui Waena... you name it, it’s not exactly rosey. Wait, it looks like the 3rd graders at both Makawao and Pukalani are rockin’ on the math. Good job!

You know what this means, right? Upcountry kids are smarter! Wrong. It means that it’s not the kids, folks. It’s not that public school kids are dumb, it’s that public school and (according to the results) quite a few kids just don’t splice. What’s the solution? Hell if I know. I mean, there are kids who do exceedingly well in public school. But according to the numbers, the chances are your kid isn’t one of them. This is not a situation that people can bury their heads in the sand about.

Not to get all pop song on you, but these children are our future.

Edumacate them.

Starr Begley admits that private school made her antisocial and a little snooty.
