IN MEMORY

AN ENDORSEMENT

While enjoying a cup of coffee this morning on the lanai, I was shocked to see in the paper that Kalani Prais had passed on at such a young age. Bless his heart and soul because this man lived the spirit of aloha in a deep way. My wife and I love Hamoa. For a variety of reasons it’s our favorite beach on Maui. It is our habit to camp at Wainapanapa at night and spend our day, until past sunset, at Hamoa—surfing, swimming, playing music, fishing. One day I was fishing on the point left of Hamoa and a local pulled his truck into the grassy, open area, threw up a pole with a Hawaiian flag and started cursing and yelling, telling me to leave and what an effin’ haole I was.

I never said nothin’ to the guy; he just didn’t want me there. I peacefully walked away without saying anything, but this dude followed me all the way from the point to the road cursing, yelling, insulting, disrespecting. As my wife and I prepared to leave, Kalani walked up and asked what happened. I told him what went down and he just looked at me with a lotta soul and said, “He’s crazy. Don’t go, stay.” Kalani made peace that day between two people. An hour later the abrasive local guy came up to me and apologized. Kalani’s influence gave me and that local guy a chance to talk to each other, learn each other’s names, find peace between us and shake hands. Now when we go to Hamoa and we see the local guy we wave and smile at each other and I’m looking forward to talking a little story with him next time we see each other. But I gotta tell you, it’s always gonna be Kalani and the gift of his truthful spirit that I will remember from that day. Some people wake up and give you a reason to be pissed off like them. Others, like Kalani, do one little thing, make one small gesture of aloha that stays with you for a lifetime.

I'm really liking your political coverage this year. Great job overall, with lots of good info. Lucienne DeNaie is the kind of politician who can get us on the right track here on Maui [“The activist candidate,” September 4].

Question though: are you guys gonna endorse before 9/20?

Parker, Wailuku, submitted online at mauitime.com

SMITHEY STRIKES BACK In response to Mr. Ankele’s letter [“Surf’s down,” August 7]: I went to school at SDSU and surfed a 6’ 3” single-fin “Ellington Jet” at San Diego’s famous Law Street beach for years when I wasn’t playing drums in The Rockin’ Dogs. Before that I rode a G&S Stacy Peralta Warptail skateboard. It was my passion for surfing and its rich history that convinced Maui Time to run my cover stories for Riding Giants and Bustin’ Down the Door.

Cole Smithey, Maui Time contributor

Ed. Note: Yes, we’ll run endorsements for the Sept. 20 primary in next week’s issue.

TODAY’S DENAIE I've seen Lucienne at GPAC and she should be a great addition to the county council; her extensive knowledge about Maui water issues, her activist spirit, we need more choices like her—and of course the Nishiki's.

Howden is a pleasant surprise as well.

BUTT OUT Re: The recent Eh Brah! about the inconsiderate smoker: My friend on Oahu sometimes picks up the lit butt and throws it back in the litterbug's car.

Usually freaks them out, but could get him killed too! Next time you see someone litter take their license number, make note of the location of the incident, a description of their vehicle and if possible a photo (if you have a camera or cell phone camera). Post their pic and pertinent info to craigslist.org under the rants and raves sections. Maui is a small island, the humiliation factor works! Try it, what have you got to lose?

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD A REAL ‘DO-IT-YOURSELFER’ Charlie Van Wilkes Jr., 31, was arrested in Danielsville, Ga., in August and charged with possession of drugs and burglary tools. The arrest report noted that Wilkes had a “large lump in the front of his blue jeans, with wires running from inside his pants and hanging down dragging the ground” as he walked. Wilkes explained that he was wearing a “homemade vibrator,” hooked to a battery. Wrote the officer, “(A) small motor had been removed from an item and placed inside a pill bottle, and then wrapped in a piece of pipe insulation before being placed inside (Wilkes’) pants for a pleasurable sensation.”

UPLIFTING BEAT DOWNS The Other “Fight Clubs” Are for Sissies: At the August Dog Brothers “Gathering of the Pack” in Southern California, it was “anything goes” according to one warrior (looking to fight with “blunted knives”). A Reuters reporter witnessed two men without padding beat each other with heavy sticks and two others fight with electrically charged knives. The latter duel ended when, during a wrestling hold, one slipped a hand free and planted a 1,000-volt surge. The action seems exhilarating. Said one, “I’ve never felt better than when I’m doing this.” Another: “Honestly, I wish I could find a church with the same spirit of support and love (as I feel here).” Said “Crafty Dog” Denny, it’s “higher consciousness through harder contact.”

SUV GOTTA BE KIDDING An Insurance Institute for Highway Safety spokesman said in July that “billions” of dollars are unnecessarily spent annually because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration still fails to regard SUVs and light trucks as “passenger” vehicles. One result, according to an MSNBC report, is that otherwisebenign bumper-to-bumper nudges (harmless because passenger-car bumpers are required to be of standard height) turn into major repair jobs when higher-bumpered SUVs crush the headlight assemblies of lower-bumpered passenger cars.

TESTING THEIR PATIENCE Illinois requires all state employees to pass an annual 10-question, multiplechoice “ethics” test (whose format lends itself to simplistic answers that, for instance, most college students might handle easily). In January, state ethics officials declined to accept the passing grades of 65 Southern Illinois

University professors because they finished “too quickly.” Asserted a reviewing state official, anyone who failed to spend at least 10 minutes on the test was being unreasonable.

LOAN SHARKS Florida’s nation-leading epidemic of mortgage fraud was facilitated by state regulators who permitted 2,200 people with finance-crime records to become professional “loan originators,” part of the total of 10,000 with rap sheets allowed to work in the industry over an eight-year period, according to a July investigation by The Miami Herald. At least 20 registered brokers kept their licenses after fraud convictions. A 2006 state law required criminal background checks for broker licensing, but fewer than half were ever done, reported the Herald. And the crisis continues, according to a Virginia research firm, which found in August that almost onefourth of new mortgage fraud in the U.S. emanates from Florida (mostly on scams exploiting people who face foreclosure).

To the inconsiderate, discourteous couple who brought their kids to the restaurant—thanks a lot! My wife and I were looking forward to a very pleasant, quiet, conversation-filled evening at an upscale restaurant (approx. $50 a plate). But NOOOO. We were treated instead to a very noisy evening of whining by your crying brats! If you can’t be courteous enough to remove your rug rats, and can’t afford a babysitter, then go to a fast food restaurant or better yet—stay home! And turn off your cell phone!

A LYING POLITICIAN?!?

A cautionary note about “early voting” was registered in the Dallas suburb of Carrollton, Texas, in May, when Mayor Becky Miller built a nine-point lead in early balloting before a Dallas Morning News report on fanciful parts of her biography caused election-day voters to cast her out. In her campaign, she had emotionally referred to a brother killed in the Vietnam War, but her father said her only brother is still alive and was never in the military (which Miller “explained” by alleging that dad has Alzheimer’s). She later gave a name for her brother, but the Morning News found that that soldier, unlike Miller, is black. Miller also claimed to be a backup singer for Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne (and once engaged to the Eagles’ Don Henley), but spokesmen for each said they never heard of her (which she “explained” by saying she was earlier known as “Pinky”).

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS Oblivious: (1) In August in Billings, Mont., federal officers recognized Wyoming fugitive Sterling Wolfname, 26, on the street, but the man tried to give a different name, seemingly oblivious that “Wolfname” was tattooed on the side of his head. (2) Fugitive Willie Vickers, 46, was arrested in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, in July on old burglary warrants after he volunteered to help a woman and a police officer get into her locked car.

Vickers said he had lots of experience with locked cars, seemingly oblivious of tipping the officer to run his name through the computer. MTW

Drinks for drunks

Can an algae-to-biodiesel facility help meet Maui’s fuel needs? he idea of replacing fossil fuel consumption with biofuels has been a much-ballyhooed topic of late, both globally and in Hawaii. Initial enthusiasm has since been tempered with realities of costs, including ongoing debates over converting food crops to fuel and converting farm lands and rainforests to agri-fuel plantations.

Throughout the discussions of plantbased biodiesel and ethanol, there has been a consistent optimism that the best biofuel choice—someday, when science and technology solve existing hurdles— could be miacroalgae. That’s right— pond scum, lurking like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, could be the answer to Peak Oil.

T

compared to 250-350 gallons for jatropha and 600-800 gallons for palm oil.

Thus, it struck me as curious that the Hawaii Ag Conference spent much of their morning session delving into research on several plants—Banagrass, jatropha, Leucaena and Guinea grass—with far smaller yields. Indeed, the Biodiesel Crop Implementation in Hawaii report prepared in 2006 by the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center indicated that utilizing all available ag lands for biofuel purposes would fall short of the statewide demand for transportation fuel and electrical generation needs.

T

he afternoon session featured short presentations by Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) Senior Vice

erating units to help keep emissions within required standards.

Perhaps Stahlkopf meant to say a oneweek test on pure biodiesel, not one month.

MECO statistics from last year indicate their consumption of diesel fuel for the Ma`alaea generators was about 56.5 million gallons, more than a million gallons weekly.

At any rate, HECO’s senior VP and Chief Technology Officer also seemed excited about the prospects of an algae-to-biodiesel facility. “I’m very comfortable with what I see,” Stahlkopf said, while stating that a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with HR BioPetroleum.

Speaking to an interested group at the Ma`alaea Waterfront Restaurant last Saturday morning, Dr. Barry Raleigh of HR

Pond scum, lurking like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, could be the answer to Peak Oil. It may be useful to consider that all the crude oil currently under the ground, being extracted and consumed worldwide at a rate of 85 million gallons daily, was once microalgae and diatoms that were pressurized—“cooked”—and converted under geologic conditions over eons to produce the gooey soup of hydrocarbons so coveted today.

Presentations on biofuels took place on two islands last week. The Hawaii Agriculture Conference had a daylong symposium relating to the state’s emerging Bioenergy Master Plan. Closer to home, the Ma`alaea Community Association heard from a representative of HR BioPetroleum, which hopes to establish an algae growing operation adjacent to the Maui Electric generating facility in Ma`alaea.

Last December, HR BioPetroleum announced a joint venture with Royal Dutch Shell to build a demonstration facility on six acres on the Kona Coast, leased from the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority. They hope that testing done at this site will allow them to expand to full-scale commercial size facilities within a few years.

Single-celled microalgae are both abundant and prolific and their rapid growth can produce at least fifteen times more oil per acre that other candidates such as jatropha, soy, rapeseed and African oil palm. According to some projections, algae could yield from 5,00010,000 gallons of oil per acre yearly,

President Karl Stahlkopf, Paul Zorner of Hawaii BioEnergy LLC and Bryan Collins of Pacific Biodiesel. Stahlkopf noted that “greening of assets” is one of their areas of strategic focus. Short on specifics, Stahlkopf did indicate they are still interested in replacing petroleum diesel with biodiesel and rehashed the procurement policy they crafted with the Natural Resource Defense Council last year.

Those criteria, modeled after guidelines set by the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil, would prime the pump for wide-scale Hawaii importation of crude palm oil from Malaysia or Indonesia, to be refined at the proposed BlueEarth Biofuels facility on Maui.

Many authorities believe that sustainable procurement of palm oil in Southeast Asia is not possible given the widespread devastation to rainforests, illegal logging and burning and displacement of indigenous peoples and endangered species. (For more info, see “Deadly Price,” Maui Time Weekly, April 3, 2008.)

Stahlkopf brushed off the idea of palm oil industry abuses, saying there probably weren’t any in Malaysia, “because they have a very strict government.” He also avoided using the term “palm oil,” suggesting they could use a derivative, palm stearates.

And he indicated they have a Request For Proposals (RFP) to provide 1 million gallons of biodiesel fuel so they can test their Ma`alaea generators running for an entire month on 100 percent biodiesel.

Currently, they utilize Pacific Biodiesel’s fuel for startup and shutdown of their gen-

BioPetroleum outlined some of the advantages of algae: high yield; useful by-product for animal feed or fish food; transportation costs are avoided; simplified processing; and no harmful waste products. He described an open pond system, lined with an impermeable membrane and featuring berms, raceways and paddlewheel systems to keep water circulating.

Raleigh said they have selected three distinct, non-modified microalgae strains in their testing. Some algae, he noted, may be 80 percent oils but grow slowly. They have identified strains that have 20-30 percent oils, but multiply rapidly. Growing in salt water pumped from onsite wells, the ponds would be harvested, drained, cleaned and resee SLIME, pg. 10

While poring over Liquor Commission documents recently (yes, we know how to spend a Saturday night), we came upon this, from §281-78: “At no time under any circumstances shall any licensee or its employee…sell, serve, or furnish any liquor to, or allow the consumption of any liquor by: (A) Any minor; (B) Any person at the time under the influence of liquor;

(C) Any person known to the licensee to be addicted to the excessive use of intoxicating liquor…”

As you probably deduced from our added emphasis, it’s the third provision that jumped out.

What that line means is an establishment could be penalized for selling booze to an alcoholic (which isn’t really a clearly defined thing), even if that person is stone cold sober at the time of sale. Isn’t that akin to telling McDonald’s they have to turn away fat people? Or barring gas stations from selling cigarettes to folks with coughs and bad teeth?

Look, we’re not here today to dispute or belittle the serious, damaging consequences of alcoholism. Our goal, as ever, is simply to point out places where the rules and regs of the LC don’t line up with common sense and leave far too much room for capricious judgments.

It may well be that this particular rule is never enforced. But the point is it’s there, in writing, along with a whole lot of other vague, openended rules. Given the LC’s patchy history and the almost total absence of oversight (sound familiar?), that’s a problem. And not just for alcoholics.

ROBREPORT

SLIME: continued from pg. 9 inoculated with a new algae culture every three days.

The algae would be de-watered and water would be re-used or pumped into injection wells. Processing of algae oils would not be done by HR BioPetroleum but by another entity, possibly BlueEarth Biofuels, if they succeed in receiving permits for their proposed facility. lgae is a major consumer of carbon dioxide in its growth cycle, so putting the facility next to the existing power plant is no coincidence.

Stack emissions containing CO2, nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide would be captured and bubbled into the algae ponds.

SO2 would be removed first, as it is not

A

conducive to algae growth. There may be sufficient CO2 emissions at the Ma`alaea electric plant to support an algae farm even greater than 1,000 acres, Raleigh said.

A number of questions arose from audience members: How many acres will be used? “We’ll start small,” said Lee Jakeway, representing landowner Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar. “Probably fifty acres so we can fit in an adjacent field.”

How much energy is needed to run the operation, versus what is extracted? Raleigh said that if all works out well, they expect to produce oil at a cost of perhaps $50 per barrel. He did not elaborate on electrical and fuel expenditures from running the algae facility.

He did acknowledge that pumping water would require considerable electrical costs.

How many jobs might be created? Raleigh said they expect about 30. What about odors and proximity to the Kealia Pond Federal

Wildlife Sanctuary? Environmental studies will be prepared by Doug Gomes/Engineering Dynamics, Raleigh said.

Commercial scale algae projects have not yet produced anywhere near the expected outputs of 5-10,000 gallons per acre yearly. If successful here, a thousand acre facility could yield as much as five to ten million gallons of biodiesel annually. Still that would represent only 8-14 percent of MECO’s liquid fuel demands and wouldn’t address diesel used for transportation or marine usage. Hawaii Superferry, for example, consumes around 6,000 gallons of marine diesel for a one-way trip from Oahu to Maui.

A May 27 Maui News editorial titled “Energy Action Needed Now” bemoaned the high price of gasoline and our rising electric utility rates. “As we rip open our local electric bill and see that over half is an energy surcharge,” the editor wrote, “where is the demand on our state legislature to move

away from diesel generation now…not five years from now?” In the few months since the editorial was written, MECO costs to ratepayers have risen to an all-time high of 43 cents per kilowatt-hour. s exciting as the high-yield appeal of microalgae-based fuel might seem, it is not a panacea for our local energy dependency, or our high costs. It may be, at best, a temporary measure that can help staunch the bleeding of our energy dollars to oil cartels.

Forward looking solutions to help solve our energy self-sufficiency will hopefully include careful consideration of using Central Maui acreage for a concentrated parabolic solar installation, which could produce as much as 200-300 megawatts (more than our current peak demand) on as little as 200 acres.

Sierra Club and Democratic Party chair Lance Holter informed me that representatives from Abengoa Solar will be on Maui for three days in late October to meet with utility and elected officials and the general public.

By law, since 2006, there must be competitive bidding in Hawaii for new electrical generation. Issuing an RFP for more solar and wind power could help ensure the best possible deal for stressed MECO ratepayers, while our local utility divests itself from its amortized investment in burning liquid fuels to power our island.

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

BY JACOB SHAFER JACOB@MAUITIME.COM

Russert passed away, Jon Stewart was using The Daily Show—once a lighthearted, innocuous platform for celebrities to peddle their latest projects—to fire off scathing, spot-on political satire thinly disguised as “just comedy.”

The latest example: A wonderfully wicked video mash-up of contradictory declarations about the credentials of Sarah Palin from GOP heavyweights like Bill O’Reilly, Karl Rove and Plain herself. The fact that someone as media savvy as Rove (yes he’s the antiChrist dressed up as the Pillsbury Doughboy, but the guy knows how to spin an election) would make such blatantly self-negating comments on national TV within the span of just a few weeks indicates that he either: a) has lost his touch; or b) thinks the American people are too stupid to notice or care. I’m thinking “b.”

Prove him wrong and check out the video (or watch it again) at comedycentral.com, on YouTube and a bunch of other places. Ain’t the Internet grand?

‘08 coverage, but we’re not afraid to help you expand your horizons beyond our pages and pod casts. More information is always better.

To that end, check out Akaku’s Meet the Candidates series, airing on the community access channel starting yesterday and going through September 19 (for those folks who truly like to make up their mind at the last possible minute). Call 871-5554 or visit akaku.org for air times and more info.

photo ID is required. Mail-in ballots must be received by election day… In other electionrelated news: County figures place the number of registered Maui voters at 82,422, a 3.3 percent increase over the 2006 primary. No doubt some of that is due to the excitement swirling around the big November showdown, but whatever the reason it’s nice to see people taking their rights and duties as citizens of a democracy (at least it still was last time I checked) seriously.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 Heads up: Walk-in absentee voting for the September 20 primary election began today. You can drop off your ballot at three locations: the County Clerk’s office on the seventh floor of the Kalana O Maui Building in Wailuku; the Lahaina Civic Center; and the Mitchell Pauole Center in Kaunakakai (call 270-7749 or visit Hawaii.gov/elections for days, times and other info). Walk-in absentee voting ends September 18 and a

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 So here’s an unsigned, handwritten note somebody—a reader I presume, though I have a hard time imagining this person reading—dropped off for me at the office. I give it to in all its unedited glory: “Jhon Mcain is the man for the job as anyone with more than three brainsells can cee!!! Whom else knows how to kill the terrorists where they sleep??”

Whom else, indeed. MTW

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 Turns out it wasn’t an alien invasion.

Wait, let me back up. Having recently retired for the evening, my wife stumbled bleary eyed from the bedroom and told me there was something strange outside the window. She’s normally a pretty sensible person, even when sleepy, so I skipped the whole “it must have been a dream” bit and got up from my writing to have a look. What I saw was a vertical series of large flashing white lights that did indeed qualify as strange. Lacking an explanation, I assured her everything was fine while harboring in the pit of my stomach a small, gnawing fear of extraterrestrial invasion. Well, today I got the real scoop and it wasn’t nearly as exciting as little green men. The lights, which are attached to a radio broadcast tower in Wailuku, are used as a warning system for helicopter pilots; they’re mandatory under FAA regs, but those unsettling strobes are only supposed to be turned on during the day, with other, less flying saucer-esque lights turned on at night.

The chief engineer for the station that owns the tower was very apologetic in The Maui News and assured everyone the issue would be resolved posthaste.

Good news for my wife’s REM cycle—and my E.T.-phobia.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 When Tim Russert died earlier this year there was a lot of speculation about who, if anyone, would fill his loafers. Not as host of Meet the Press but as the mainstream media’s resident gadfly. Russert was the guy who took the time to review old tape and pore over back issues of magazines and newspapers, gathering questionable statements from political bigwigs so he could use their own words against them. Well, his heir apparent has emerged and perhaps it’s fitting that he works for a “fake” news show (since all the real ones are so spineless). Even before

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 Speaking of the Internet, Michael Moore has announced that’s where he’ll be exclusively releasing his new doc, Slacker Uprising. The film, which follows the rotund populist as he traverses the country enlisting young voters during the 2004 election, will be available as a free download to North American residents starting September 23. Moore told the Associated Press he’s giving the movie away as a thank you to his fans and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his first rabblerousing feature, Roger & Me. Love him or hate him, you’ve gotta admit—Mike sure can stage a self-promoting media event (and, in this case, ingeniously make it look like an act of altruism).

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 File this under “news that’s sadly not news”: The already tardy update to the Maui County General Plan is lagging further behind schedule. The committee tasked with the revamp, which was set to hit a major completion milestone next month, has asked for an extension into 2009. One bone of contention is an island-wide housing forecast—should Maui build units to meet projected population growth, or should the county construct housing in line with the population it wants to have? It’s sort of a chicken-or-the-egg debate, with the chickens being new residents and the eggs their space- and resource-sucking domiciles. Not that it eases the frustration (in fact it might make it worse), but having covered the general plan update process in a few different parts of the country I can tell you: It’s the same everywhere you go. There are always reasons—some valid, some not so much— why this takes way longer than it “should.”

Bottom line: It’s a huge, important undertaking that’s hindered by an inability to please all of the people all of the time. Hey, I think there’s a famous quote about that…

By Jacob Shafer

his time last year, I was working as a reporter for the Bay Area alt weekly The Pacific Sun. Now here I am, having been on island just long enough for the burn to turn to tan, steering the editorial department of this wacky, wonderful ship we call Maui Time.

Needless to say, the intervening months were filled with a lot of stops, starts and quirks of fate, none stranger than the Trading Places-esque, trans-Pacific switcheroo I pulled with former MTW Associate Editor and beloved Holoholo Girl Sam Campos. (Though in that analogy I’m not exactly sure which of us is Eddie Murphy and which is Dan Aykroyd. Probably I’m Aykroyd.) At any rate—Sam now has my old job at the Sun. She’s also how I first heard about the opening at Maui Time. Yeah, this tale’s got more twists than the road to Hana.

Ever since I touched down on Maui and assumed duties at MTW, I’ve been stewing on this bemusing convergence. It’s not often in life that you almost literally—and mostly unintentionally—swap spots with someone.

I’m not one to get all cosmic, but there’s a Freaky Friday (to drop another only partially analogous film reference) link-in-the-universe kind of thing going on here.

When something sticks in my brain and refuses to vacate the premises, my first instinct is to write about it. Since I get paid for that activity anyway, I figured it made sense to think of a way to get the whole selfcongratulatory Jacob-Sam storyline into the paper. Add the fact that, even though she’s been gone for over a year, I still get calls and e-mails inquiring as to the whereabouts of Holoholo Girl and it just seemed too obvious: It was time to call Sam, shoot the shit and get her on the record.

We found Holoholo Girl hiding out in a cubicle just north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate and pinned her down (metaphorically speaking, of course) for a little Q&A session:

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

OK, first of all, why the hell did you leave Maui?

Yes, that is the most common question I’m asked, after incredulous people here on the Mainland find out where I’ve moved from.

Now, exactly a year later the answer’s the same, although I let people come to their own conclusions. Looking back, I suppose I could’ve continued to live comfortably on Maui—10 years did go by so effortlessly, really. And I really had it good: a wonderful circle of friends, a fabulous job that gave me the opportunity to connect with a large group of awesome strangers, a boyfriend who loved me, a lovely house on the slope of Haleakala. But I was restless, hungry for more and different kinds of knowledge and experience. I wanted to travel more. I wanted to drive more than two hours and end up in a place I had never been before. And I wanted to see if I could make it as a writer on the mainland—and not just “make it,” but be a better writer. What I really wanted, and what I want more and more now, is to find a way to connect with a larger audience and inspire folks—whether it’s to get people to go eat at some overlooked taco stand, or to look at their life differently and not be afraid of the possibilities.

What three things do you miss most about the island, in ascending order?

And don’t just list them; give us some reasons and stuff.

I’m gonna toss out the obvious answers: my friends, my family at Maui Time, the warm water. Because, as it turns out, what I’m currently missing most are those things that used to irritate the hell out of me when I lived on Maui: one-lane roads to everywhere (five-lane highways here don’t mean less traffic, by the way), having limited options for dining and nightlife-ing (sometimes too many options can be just as inhibiting), being forced to see classic ‘70s bands reunited (actually, Earth Wind & Fire rocked!) and writing the Holoholo Girl column.

Plus, I miss the little things about Maui, like eating fresh mangoes off the tree in the backyard, off-roading my Jeep (oh, Rocky!) at La Perouse, having tourists ask me with glazed eyes if I “actually live here?”, stocking up on wooden nickels from the Sly Mongoose, seeing any Maui Film Festival movie at Celestial Cinema or the SandDance Theater, hungover days spent at Baby Beach with the Sugar Shack girls, that sultry smell of tuberose and guava that permeates parts of the island, and Hana, Hana, Hana. I know that’s not three, but tough.

How about some things you don’t miss?

Back in October, I posted the question “Why does Maui suck?” on MySpace. You see, I was really quite homesick for Maui, so I wanted people to remind me of all the things that irritated. And boy, did they respond. Some of the more common responses include: the seriously deficient dating pool, high gas prices and cost of living, running into exes and/or people you don’t want to see, the “Maui time” length it takes to get shit accomplished, dumb people and traffic problems. The thing I’ve discovered after a year living on the Mainland is that all these things exist here, too. Oh, but I don’t miss summers in Lahaina. I definitely don’t miss the grotesque overuse of fresh pineapple in everything. And I don’t miss centipedes.

What have you been up to since you hit the Mainland? Did I hear you worked at a daily? In LA? Gross.

When I first got here last summer, I lived in the Inner Sunset district of San Francisco in a one-bedroom flat with a friend of a friend—a kickass rock drummer from the East Coast who did indeed party like a rockstar nearly every night. He ended up being on tour and away a lot though, so I became better acquainted with what I was convinced was our resident ghost. Because I didn’t yet have a job lined up, and my new neighborhood was consistently fogged in and freakishly cold, I mostly hung out at home in my bathrobe and as many layers of clothing as I could muster and still move my arms, sending out an ungodly amount of resumes and cover letters to every position-seeking newspaper, weekly, magazine and Internet media outlet I could find, to no

avail. I ran out of money after two months and was fairly bumming that not one of the 200 or so positions I applied for led to anything substantial. I bit the bullet and took a couple of temp work gigs (where I met many an overqualified but unemployed art historian, microcellular biologist and travel book author) and even went as far as registering to be a test subject for experimental research at UC Berkeley—but even they didn’t want me.

Fortunately, I did have a couple friends to lean on in the city—even a couple who’d made the same move from Maui a few years ago—but they all said the same thing: “It takes time, be patient. You won’t be settled for about a year.” I had a really hard time swallowing that pill—patience is so overrated. After three months, I was freezing, exhausted, jobless, broke and alone; I started to doubt my abilities and wondered if I’d made a huge mistake in leaving the swooning comforts of Maui. I mean, really—what was I thinking?

So before I lost all hope, I decided to take a brief interlude at my parents’ house in Palm Springs. Although I generally detest Southern California, it was warm, and my folks fed me and kept the wine flowing. Just for kicks, I applied for a reporter position at the big Gannett daily newspaper there—the Desert Sun. They called me the very next day. Unbelievable. Okay, so it wasn’t in San Francisco but it was a job. Somebody wanted me! Yay! Just the offer alone was reassuring in that maybe I could actually make it as a writer on the Mainland. I had never worked at a daily before and figured I could use the experience, and the dough, so I took it as a three-month temporary gig. It was good fun and great pay—working for a corporate rag is more than a little strange, cultish even, coming from the freewheeling world of alt weeklies, but the people were kind and truly believed in what they were doing. However, my assignments bordered on hokey (Newsflash: Local golden retriever pup learns how to fetch the paper! I’m not kidding, that was an actual story they had me do). Also, the novelty of being back in my hometown—running into old high school boyfriends who were now, um, old—was fleeting. And although I love my parents dearly, living in their house again and answering to “When will you be home? Are you going out dressed like that?” got me to thinking that maybe I might be ready to resume the job-hunting up north.

Once I returned to the Bay Area, things started to look up. Thanks in large part to Tommy Russo (he’d make a very good pimp), I met a bunch of editors and publishers at an industry conference. And within a few weeks, prospective employers began calling. I lined up a few interviews— one with a wine mag, another with a Web start-up and a newswire— including what I thought was one of my worst performances at a meeting with the editor of the Pacific Sun. But apparently (and also, you might say, not shockingly), when I’m bad, I’m so much better.

SEPTEMBER LIQUIDATION

You’re doing a new column now, right? The one I used to do. How did you manage to fill my enormous shoes?

Well, I don’t pretend to fill your shoes, darling, as much as it may pain some Marinites. (Believe me, you are missed here—it’s always “Jacob used to do it this way, Jacob would’ve done it that way, Jacob, Jacob, Jacob!” Geez.) But yeah, I’m doing a few of your old columns.

What other sort of messes, writing-related or otherwise, have you gotten into?

Yeah, I’m working on that. The Bay Area is a feast of freakly delights—both artistically and gastronomically, the place hosts a bold cornucopia of crazily creative endeavors so overwhelmingly fantastic and plentiful that it can be difficult to choose among them all. Oh, and I’m dating an American Conservatory Theatre graduate who runs one of the largest medical marijuana dispensaries in the country. So there’s that.

Would you do us a favor and tell your loyal readers that you’re totally not coming back even if we beg so they’ll stop leaving us nasty, pleading notes?

Um, no.

Damn you! Well, on behalf of your still loving fans and the old holdout staff at ‘Maui Time’, everybody totally misses you. Any parting words/shots?

That’s really very kind. I totally miss everybody, too. I’d just like to say that it was a real honor to serve and protect the dive-bar masses, and that everyone’s support and the memories of my time in the sandbox continue to carry me through the rough spots (and perpetual traffic jams at the toll bridges). And if you’re interested in seeing what I’m up to, or where I’ve been this past year, or you just wanna say hi, please check out my blog at holohologirl.blogspot.com.

Tropica paradise You don’t have to be a tourist to enjoy fine resort dining iving in a tourist destination has some perks, like an amazing assortment of fine dining options. While I try to get to all of these establishments, my recent visit to Tropica at the Westin Maui Resort was a pleasure. This hidden gem of modern and sophisticated dining is

L

Tropica Westin Resort, 2365 Ka'anapali Pkwy., Lahaina 667-2525

nestled in Kaanapali and it has some of the best views of any restaurant I have been to on the island; it’s as close to dining right on the beach as you can get. The interior seating has a charming pond, making every seat waterfront dining. Their modern look is juxtaposed with Tiki torches and lava rock, bringing an intriguing ambiance to the experience, whether you’re stopping in for some pupus and cocktails or settling in for a fusion feast.

It’s very apparent that the island’s bounty is Chef Bart Umidi’s muse.

His menu design at Tropica is contemporary, fusing premium local produce with fresh island fish and seafood, as well as local beef selections, with a wide array of preparations and presentations. His menu

also makes no assumptions about your wine knowledge, which I can really appreciate. A wine amateur like me can order expertly as every dish is presented with its recommended pairing.

I started off with the prosciuttowrapped sea scallops served with polenta and greens and a basil sauce with a 2005 Russian River Chardonnay from Sonoma Cutrer Vineyards. I love polenta served with anything but this dish was a hit because the sea scallops were expertly cooked; their texture was perfect.

Next I tried the pohaku seared beef that appears sizzling on a hot stone at the table with a ponzu sauce and a fantastic beet and ginger preserve. I also took their pairing recommendation with a glass of the 2004 Clancy’s shiraz, a Peter Lehman wine from Australia.

Now that a buzz was setting in it was time to get busy with my dinner selection. My palate was telling me to go with the Pacific Boullabaisse, and I was happy I did. My server explained it was Chef’s signature dish. This and several selections on the menu are specially marked to indicate they are lower in calories and fat content to highlight the Westin’s mind-body-spirit theme. The tasty bouillabaisse broth was brimming with Kona lobster, scallops, shrimp, fish, clams and mussels and completed with a delicious focaccia crostini to dip in the broth.

According to my fine dining playbook no meal is complete without dessert. Tropica has an after-dinner option called the chocolate heaven, an aptly named, irresistible rich chocolate cake with a gooey center. It was a

glorious evening of fancy food, but I would also recommend visiting Tropica for some informal dining. You could sit at their elegant bar and try their stone baked flat breads like the spicy lobster, roasted peppers and lemon pressed olive oil version for $13 with a glass of wine or cocktail, or drop in for one of their irresistible desserts with a glass of port. And parents take note: Tropica is offering a special “Kids Eat Free” promotion for adultaccompanied children five and under. MTW

SOY RUSSIAN, CAFÉ MARC AUREL, WAILUKU I have rejected guys for not getting The Big Lebowski.

I mean, how much time could I really spend with someone who has no clue that one-third of what I say is a Big Lebowski quote? Yet while the flick wanders around the folds of my brain in a bathrobe and jelly shoes it’s rare that I can partake in one of the film’s major elements: the White Russian. This is due to my refusal to consume dairy. I have actually brought soymilk to a bowling alley, ordered a black Russian, and made my own Caucasian. Café Marc Aurel happens to have soy for coffee drinks and the bartenders extraordinaire, in the parlance of our times, will happily swap the half-and-half out for soy. Shomer shabbos.

SURFER ON ACID, TIKI LOUNGE, KIHEI Many people stay away from anything that involves Jager. I understand the reasons behind doing so. However, this kinda-gross sounding shot is tastier than one might think. Legendary Paddlers’ Inn (Molokai) bartender Michael Helm made me my first. It involves said Jager, coconut rum and pineapple juice.

Instead of being overwhelmingly bitter and thus incongruous with the shot’s other two components, the Jager offsets the pineapple-coconut combo in its tendency to be sickly sweet.

GERMAN BULLDOG, CHARLIE’S, PAIA

SATURDAY

I first saw this drink being made at Blue Lagoon in Lahaina, but didn’t try it at that juncture. It took a while for me to consider whether it was worth the risk. Although the drink probably has multiple names, “German Bulldog” was the moniker the Internets spat out for this cough syrup substitute that consists of Kahlua, vodka and root beer. To determine whether it was actually decent I asked Charley’s bartender Ian Villanueva to concoct one for me. It was quite tasty, actually. I would only do one or two, though, because the combo tasted like an ordinary glass of root beer.

This is another one I had to modify so that it was in line with my dietary restrictions.

I got the idea from the menu at Jawz Tacos in Kihei. The thought of ice cream and beer probably elicits a cringe from those with weak stomachs, but let me explain. The purveyors of this beverage aren’t pouring Bud Light over mint chocolate chip. It’s actually Maui Brewing Company’s Coconut Porter over coconut ice cream. The porter itself is like syrup. It sounded interesting, so I thought I would go the empirical route and try a vegan variation. Instead of dairy ice cream I used a coconutbased frozen desert I purchased from Mana. Amazing.

BEER-MOSA, LOCATION UNKNOWN It’s the morning after Halloween. You are sleeping on the floor of your friend’s rented condo in Lahaina (about 12 people are squeezed into a tiny living room). A light commotion wakes you up. Head still on pillow, your assessment of the coming day’s course is sealed with the following words, which come from the kitchen: “Who wants a beer-mosa?” Oh, shit. Mimosas on Christmas morning? Delightful. Beermosas on November 1st? Not sure. But you do put orange slices in Weiss beers like Blue Moon and Tucher, right? If you use the right beer, this drink is actually good, and serves as a quite appropriate postHalloween eye opener. MTW

Sweet Home Kihei The Vince Esquire Band brings solid rock to Maui discovered Vince Esquire out of sheer luck a couple months back, when I needed something to take my mind off my pub quiz team’s second-place ranking.

The bar across the way—Kahale’s— seemed like it was about to shimmy off its foundation. It was absolutely packed.

I sensed some serious rock and roll, which is pretty rare on Maui. Promising myself I would leave the second I heard the opening bars of “Sweet Home Alabama,” I decided to check them out.

Before crossing the threshold I could tell this was not just some cover band, more than three young dudes wailing on their instruments between shots.

Initially they reminded me of Blue Cheer, the unsung progenitors of metal, acid rock and stoner rock whose version of “Summertime Blues” blows even the Who’s “Live at Leeds” take on the tune away.

The dance floor was engorged.

To say that Esquire is an awesome

I

guitar player is a pitiful understatement.

To say “man, that guy is a fucking machine!” misses the point. His solos are wildly creative, going well beyond the pentatonic with the occasional flatted fifth thrown in. Yet while they are intricate and betray years spent scaling the scales, unlike many young guitar players he allows his solos a little breathing room.

“It’s about tastefully playing as opposed to playing as fast you can,” Esquire said.

Of course, it takes more than thoughtful, well-paced soloing to draw the kind of crowds these guys bring in. This incredibly tight three-piece band consists of players whose skill and style complement each other uncommonly well.

Bass player Shawn Michael’s skills are apparent yet understated; it’s obvious that he can clear the most strenuous of Claypool-esque feats if a song warrants it but he’s no showoff.

Drummer Josh Greenbaum is truly solid.

Forgive the comparison, but his playing reminds me of Cream’s Ginger Baker.

Featuring daily breakfast and dinner specials Big Wave offers a unique blend of casual American cuisine blended with contemporary island flavors.

I may have been the only one in the bar that didn’t know that the band is an important element of Maui’s music scene.

“At some point we’ve played at every place on this island,” Esquire said, though his resume extends well beyond the Valley Isle.

Esquire is one of those musicians who can probably shred on any instrument he picks up and was seen as a prodigy when he started gigging on Maui as a teenager. Now 23, his career has taken him to Austin, New Orleans and Los Angeles.

Last year, after opening for Gregg Allman on Maui, Allman asked him to join the Allman Brothers’ summer tour. If that wasn’t enough to make 2007 a kickass year for Esquire, he and Michael’s other band, Kanekoa, were also featured in a Ben Stiller flick.

Esquire lists Stevie Wonder as a major influence, which is evident in his originals as well as the Wonder medley the band often performs. Coltrane is another, he says. Yet much of the band’s inspiration derives from local sources. Tom Conway of Gypsy Pacific, Willie K, Uncle Don, Bob Harrison, and Kanoa of Gomega are among the guys’ list of major influences. It was Kanoa, Michael said, who taught Michael to play live bass.

We’re lucky enough to have a chance to see these guys four to five times a week.

But if you’re looking for the same old skull-gnawing Skynyrd covers you may want to stay home. MTW

BY BARRY WURST II BARRY@MAUITIME.COM

‘Burn’ barely singes Coen bros’ muddled comedic thriller generates little heat en years ago, Joel and Ethan Coen followed up their acclaimed, Oscar-winning Fargo with The Big Lebowski, a nutty romp that was barely loved by audiences and critics (but has since become a cult phenomenon). Now, after winning the Best Picture Oscar for No Country For Old Men, their bleak neo-western, the Coen

Burn After Reading

★★★★★ Rated R/97 min.

Brothers once again have tossed aside gritty in favor of giddy with Burn After Reading.

Frances McDormand stars as a loopy fitness center worker who joins her even dumber co-worker (a hilarious Brad Pitt) in a blackmailing scheme involving

a government agent (John Malkovich). A buffoonish ladies’ man (George Clooney), befuddled Russians and erotic furniture somehow also figure into all this.

This mixed bag comes off as an excuse for the cast and filmmakers to goof around and have fun. Yet despite some real laughs and enjoyable plot complications, it doesn’t come together. Burn tries for the seriocomic tone of Fargo but winds up on the hit and miss level of The Ladykillers, a less renowned Coen effort. The Someone Who Is In Over Their Head Has Something That Bad People Want angle has been done more skillfully by many directors, including the brothers themselves.

The film is peppered with amusingly hammy performances by nearly every cast member (and as violent as you’d expect from the Coens); it’s a particular kick to watch Pitt—one of the coolest actors on the planet— playing an uncool doofus who tries way too hard to be suave (Pitt’s work is the movie’s biggest highlight). Clooney gamely mugs his way through his role, McDormand goes into chirpy overdrive (a little of which goes a long way) and Malkovich gives the best perform-

ance as an overlooked agent who is fed up with the idiots surrounding him.

Carter Burwell’s heavily percussive music score suggests a Jason Bourne-like thriller and, like the rest of the movie, seems to be kidding audience expectations. Burn is all over the place—some-

times grim, often farcical, occasionally riveting but mostly just silly. The pat ending underlines what a lark this was meant to be, but audiences may feel cheated by the lack of a real resolution. While it can be entertaining, most involved are coasting and have done better. MTW

THIS WEEK’S

PICKS

Reggae in the Valley

Floor it

Saturday (Sept 13), 5:30pm, MACC Center Lawn, Kahului

Saturday (Sept 13), 9pm, Café Marc Aurel, Wailuku

There are two things that make this show one of the mandatory events of the season. The first is the inclusion of eclectic reggae artist FIJI on the bill. FIJI’s sound has a universal appeal; one that incorporates genres like jazz, hip hop and R&B while maintaining reggae’s core elements. He has been hailed as a pioneer of the Pacific Island sound. On Saturday he shares the stage with national R&B act J Boog, Kihei reggae band the Rushhouze AllStars, Hawaiian musicians Pi’ilani Arias, and Laga Saavea. The second thing that makes this a show worth venturing out for is that it serves a good cause: proceeds will go to college funds for the children of Ray Wilhem, a former Baldwin High star athlete who passed away in a car accident in May 2007; countless years too soon. Find advance tickets at Premiere Video in Kihei, Old Lahaina Book Emporium, Request Music in Wailuku, Ainokea, Queen Ka'ahumanu Center and Da Kitchen. $30/$35 door.

Electronic music addicts and dance-o-philes alike will finally have a chance to get their fill of intimate, hard-hitting, atmospheric, and abstract sounds at this event. DJs slated to perform include DJ Avery, DJ Sal, DJ Steve:O, DJ Max and DJ Dump Truk.

While this From the Floor event, called Music Appreciation, is a chance to get one’s dance, drink and probably swank on, it could also serve as a great chance for like minds to network. From the Floor is a loosely organized underground music collective that seeks to foster a scene for said genre. So if you’ve ever complained about the gaping lack of a club scene on Maui, or have any ideas for future events, this may be an opportune evening as well as a great time.

THURSDAY

Waihe’e By Moonlight Friday (Sept 12), call for directions/reservations It’s hard not to get all poetic when describing an event like this. It starts around sunset (insert splendor, brilliance, etc. here), and goes on into the night underneath a full moon. The course of the hike will lead you through the Waihe’e Refuge in northeast Maui, including Kapoho, an ancient Hawaiian Fishing Village. Maui Coastal Land Trust Project Manager Scott Fisher will serve as a guide on the hike. Fisher has an extensive wealth of knowledge of the area, and will give moonlight hikers a rundown of the natural history, mythology and anthropology of the area. Call 244-5263 to reserve. $25 donation.

Anime vs. the atom bomb

Not for the weak-hipped

Thursday (Sept 11), 7pm, Ka Lama 103, MCC, Kahului

Saturday (Sept 13), 9pm, Casanova, Makawao

It’s hard to imagine that Maui Community College Peace Club and Maui Peace Action arbitrarily chose 9/11 to screen a film about the bombing of Hiroshima. Yet whether or not it was intentional, showing it on this date may help get more people to think about war in a greater context. That is, leaving behind the whole Toby Keith get-er-done view for one that questions the things human beings do to each other for no good reason. The film, an anime called Barefoot Gen Part I, delves into the lives of a Japanese family that is trying to get by in the wake of World War II despite falling bombs and an oppressive regime.

The film is on loan from the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Leave the little ones at home; this could get gory. Free.

DAY

While it’s true that Maui has truly phenomenal musicians, there is a deficit when it comes to certain styles. For probably understandable reasons, salsa is one of these underrepresented sounds. Salsa’s passionate melodies, weeping horns and deceptively intricate rhythms can be addictive, and it’s so danceable that even white people look decent out on the floor. Even though Maui’s Latin music scene leaves much to be desired, I would much rather have it comprise one phenomenal act than several sub-par stand-ins. Dr. Neto and his band, Rio Ritmo (River of Rhythm) are the Maui salsa band. Saturday night they take the stage at Casanova, a venue for which they hold the record for longest running weekly gig – consecutive Fridays from 1998 to 2003. I’m guessing the gig was steady because they drew a crowd.

Plus, Saturday’s event serves as a birthday celebration for Mana’o Radio cofounder Kathy Collins. Any band asked to play such an occasion must have some serious appeal. $10.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Because of the position you put yourself in, you’re subject to more scrutiny and accountability than you’d like. I’m sure it’s uncomfortable., especially given the irony that you try to get away with less than most people (though you’re no angel). Luckily, this week you should be able to get everyone to cut you a little more slack than usual. If you can’t force them to relax their judgment, perhaps get them to loosen their vigilance instead; evading their notice might be easier than escaping their nit-picking. Get your admirers to create a distraction for your critics, if necessary. That should buy you enough time to get into whatever kind of trouble you’d like to get into.

I understand that sometimes people are reluctant to stretch and move after they’ve been injured, but that’s what life is: expanding, growing, learning, and getting back up and continuing on after you fall. You need to figure out how to be open and compassionate and loving even though you’ve been burned in the past. Everyone’s been screwed over at some point. If you let that define you forever, you’re being criminally lazy, denying yourself and others the shiny brightness of your full potential. Luckily, it’s never too late. You’ve felt sorry for yourself long enough. Get up, now. Stretch. Open up. Make it a habit.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) The trip you’re on is not the intense, uphill-both-ways-in-the-baking-heat trek you’re making it out to be. Sure, there are challenges to the path you’ve chosen, but whining about and exaggerating them isn’t likely to garner you sympathy, or help. Let’s see how just how rugged and self-reliant you can be; ironically the less help you need, the more you’ll get. Soldiering on in spite of the obstacles in front of you, without complaint, will get you a lot more positive attention than making a big stink about them ever could. This week, suck it up and try that.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You’re right—you don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You know who you are, and what you’re up to, and none of that will change regardless of who does or doesn’t believe in you. However, I’m sure you can understand why some people might be suspicious, cynical, or untrusting. On some level, you may seem too good to be true. Try not to take it personally if someone doubts you and all your bright and shining qualities. It’s a rough world we live in, one that often breeds suspicion and distrust. Cut people a break, and show them that you’re worth believing in.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Save Hundreds with each package. Easy payment plans available.

Please call for appointment PROCEEDS TO FUND A WOMEN’S CLINIC ON MAUI

Some friends and I were discussing whether most people looked more attractive naked or with their clothes on. In your case, I suggest leaving your metaphorical clothes on—not because what lies beneath isn’t beautiful, but because a bit of mystery is likely to be far more enticing than spelling everything out. No one wants to be deceived, so take care to avoid unpleasant shocks; however, leaving room for pleasant surprises could go a long way towards making your love life the unending thrill you’ve always wanted.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Sometimes people can push your buttons; everyone has a sore spot or two they don’t want anyone to touch. But when it’s hard for even total strangers to avoid setting you off, offending, or insulting you, then there’s something deeper going on that needs to be addressed. Why has your skin gotten so thin lately?

It’s one thing to be sensitive, and quite another to be fragile. This week, spend a little time figuring out just why your nerves are so raw. You can’t do anything about it until you know exactly what “it” is. That, my dear, is this week’s burning question.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) If you really want to feel needed, ask an adventurous friend to put on a blindfold and let you be his caregiver all day. You want people to depend on you, but I’m not sure you know what you might be getting yourself into. Don’t set yourself up to let anyone down. Make sure you’re truly up for whatever you’re offering to do, and will be, no matter what happens in the near future. Will a tiny setback, delay, or bump in the road keep you from coming through? Then please don’t set anyone up to be disappointed, because you’ll surely encounter one or more of those soon enough.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Do you know why you’re my favorite sign, Aries? Because around you I’m never bored, confused about your intentions, or starved for attention. The things that bother other people about you—your occasional obnoxiousness, insensitivity, or inconsistency—don’t really bug me much. Fortunately for you, there are a lot of people like me who are more into appreciating your positive qualities than harping on your negative ones. Play those up, and find the people who’ll love you for them, and have a great time this week and this Full Moon (which is in Aries). That’s not say you shouldn’t keep improving yourself whenever you can—just that the bulk of this kind of work can wait until next week.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Go ahead and be judgmental. One of the things I like and respect most about you is that you have robust opinions. Whatever you do, don’t pretend you’re chill about something you actually feel strongly about, whatever pressure you feel to make things look that way. It’s not fair to anyone, and this week doing that would lead to some terrible misunderstandings. Own your damn opinions, and don’t let anyone convince you you don’t have a right to them. You do. Being unequivocal about how you feel is an integral part of who you are. Embrace it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Play the mediator, since you’re the only one in a position to do it. You don’t have to pick sides—in fact, since you’re the only one who can see that neither side is really in the wrong, you’re the best person for the job, like it or not. Be careful to stay neutral; after all, despite the intense emotions in the air, this is a conflict of perspective, not right vs. wrong. The people involved may never be able to completely see things the same way as those they oppose, but with your help they should be able to finally come around to a place where they can just agree to disagree. Without your help, I think it’s needless to say, they may just be doomed.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Shotgun wedding, here you come! If you’re not careful this week, you could walk unwittingly into insane commitments you aren’t really prepared for, and which you’d have an impossible time getting out of without causing a lot of pain and heartache. In other words, be as tightlipped as possible this week, and do your best to say nothing without thinking about it first. Consider what it might really mean. Be careful, people might try to goad you into saying stuff in the heat of the moment which you’d certainly regret later (and not for the reasons you might imagine). The more you can keep your cool and your mouth shut, the more likely you’ll get through this week without getting stuck somewhere you just don’t want to be.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Good or bad, at least you’re consistent. The closer you can get to the core of who you really are, the happier you—and everyone who chooses to be close to you—will be. What you should strive for is an authentic self who can exist in every situation you find yourself in. A lot of people present different sides of themselves depending on their circumstances; if you can be the same genuine person everywhere you go, you’ll find that most of the conflicts of your existence will recede into the background. You’re pretty lucky, if you think about it. Just being the real you, always and forever, is the best gift you can give—to yourself, and to anyone who loves you. The sooner you figure out exactly who “you” are, the better.
