MEAT OF THE MATTER

Rob, your latest column was a beau-ty [Rob Report, June 4]. I have beena vegetarian for almost 40 years andhave tried to avoid preaching orsounding high and mighty about it.My daughter, also a vegetarian,bought a T-shirt that said,“Everyone hates a Vegetarian.” Justby being we induce guilt. But I tooam starting to think it may be timeto get a little noisy about it. The dayis coming when it won’t be possibleto call oneself an environmentalistand still eat meat. And living heremakes eating fish seem like canni-balism—my brothers and sisters!Anyway, your article spoke so beau-tifully and compassionately for allspecies. It was in-your-face, whilehaving understanding. I want tothank you for putting yourself outthere on a testy issue that needs aconscious voice.

Melanie Stephens, Makawao

PHOTO BEEFThe photo of the mutilated cow is a bitoverboard. The facts alone are enough.

RB, posted at mauitime.com

PICTURE PERFECTI love the picture. It’s fine by me. Ilove meat and I eat it every day. Ihave hunted and killed and con-sumed meat. The head has to comeoff, and how that happens is not forthe meek. The article is obviouslyslanted just like the rest of MTW. Iwould expect nothing less from a veg-etarian mag and a vegetarian whowrote the article. I’m not bothered byvegans or vegetarians—they havemade a choice that works for them.Maybe you can do an article on a localbusiness like Maui Cattle Co. now, forus meat-eaters.

Sour Power, posted at mauitime.com

LOW ON HIGHLYNope, this is exactly the rubbish rock thatMaui deserves. Clearly there isn’t anyonehere able to discern quality. I’d rather saveall the money I would have spent attend-ing any of the 808’s “rock” shows andspend it on a trip to South by Southwestinstead to hear some real music.

This one goes out to the apparent Maui resident who called my tenant houseabout putting up “this kid” he was bringing from the Mainland to do some“marketing work” for him. Not only did “this kid” not have the ability to typein a Web site address five times even though I walked him through it letter byletter on the phone, but then the “kid” proceeded to call my voicemail 15 timesin 5 days—no joke. Shame on you Mr. Maui Resident for bringing people to theisland to work for you when there are people here already that need work. Ohand by the way, this “kid” was by his own words “a young 50.” And the productthat he was gonna be marketing? Segways. Like everyone on this island has adiscretionary five grand laying around.

ROB REPORTPROVOCATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL COVERAGE

AND COMMENTARY EACH WEEK.Check it out in this week’s issue!


INNER BEAUTYOver a 10-week period this summer,nearly 200 young Saudi women areauditioning for a beauty pageant, butone called “Miss Beautiful Morals,”in which physical attractiveness isirrelevant, replaced by judging of theladies’ observance of traditionalSaudi values, especially the honoringof their mothers. Saudi Arabia doeshave pageants devoted to physicalbeauty, as reported previously inNews of the Weird, but those are con-tests for camels and goats, based onsuch criteria as (according to onecamel breeder) “big eyes, long lashesand a long neck.”

MORE TO LOVEAccording to a March dispatch inLondon’s Observer, activists inMauritania have protested the newmilitary government’s support for anAfrican tribal tradition of forcibly fat-tening up adolescent girls to makethem appear “healthier” for earlymarriage. In the custom of “leblouh,”the size of the female indicates “thesize of her place in her man’s heart.”

CASHING OUTAs Denver’s newsweekly Westwordasked in a May 2009 story, “Wherewould you take a $100,000 checkthat is also a suicide note, to the copsor to the bank?” In July 2008, JohnFrancis Beech, a retired executive inDenver, sent a check for $100,000 toa local charity, postdated to August 1,accompanied by a sealed envelopereading “wait until you hear fromcoroner” and “everything is OK.” Thecharity’s director, Annie Green,opened the envelope anyway on July21, to find Beech’s Last Will andTestament, leaving his entire estateto Green’s organization for childrenwith developmental disabilities.Green’s choice: Put everything intothe school’s safe and await August 1(but she claimed to have left twovoice-mail messages for Beech). On

July 29, based on longstanding plans,Beech committed suicide.

BAD DEFENSEDefense attorney John Garcia convinced ajury in Merced, Calif., in May that hisclient was not guilty of the “forcible rapewith great bodily injury” of an 18-year-oldwoman in 2004, despite the fact that onlyhis client’s DNA-identified semen waspresent, mixed with the victim’s blood, onthe shorts she wore at the crime scene.Client Daniel Saldana’s story was that hehad previously had sex with his own girl-friend in the house where the rapeoccurred and that the girlfriend mighthave left her shorts on the floor and thatthe rape victim might have mistakenly putthem on after the “other” man raped her.

WORSE DEFENSETimothy Williams’ lawyer had a gooddefense worked out in Williams’ May mur-der trial in Pittsburgh: When Williamsfatally shot the “other” man in the love tri-angle with Williams’ girlfriend, it was a“crime of passion,” said the lawyer, befit-ting manslaughter rather than first-degreemurder. But Williams insisted on takingthe stand, and by the time he was done, hehad openly bragged that he was a“swinger” with many girlfriends, that thisparticular woman meant “nothing” to him,and that, though he killed the man, policehad somehow “sabotaged” the surveillancevideo of the shooting. Verdict: first-degreemurder.

FAMILY ISSUES(1) Charles Williams, 37, and his wife,Gretchen, 33, were arrested in Greenville,S.C., after a domestic dispute, culminatingin a gunfight in which they shot eachother. (2) Two fathers (Enrique Gonzalez,26, in Fresno, Calif., in April and EugeneAshley, 24, in Floyd County, Ga., in May)were charged with forcibly tattooing theiryoung sons. Gonzalez allegedly held downhis 7-year-old while a tattooist inked agang symbol, and Ashley allegedly inked“DB” (for “Daddy’s Boy”) personally onhis 3-year-old’s shoulder. MTW

Green screeningsAn eco-centric sneak preview of the Maui Film Festival Breaking the streak

One hundred eighty-two days.Four thousand, three hundred,sixty-eight hours. Two hundredsixty-two thousand, eighty min-utes. Fifteen million, seven hun-dred twenty-four thousand, eighthundred seconds. That’s howmuch time elapsed between theDecember 4, 2008 meeting of theLC’s Adjudication Board and themost recent meeting, held June 4.

Why are we telling you this?Well, at the December ’08 meet-ing, the final get-together of theyear, two establishments—Lahaina Store Grille and Zack’sDeli in Kihei—came before theboard on charges of selling toalready intoxicated individuals.

The cases themselves weren’tparticularly noteworthy, except inhindsight. Because for the nextsix months, the AdjudicationBoard wouldn’t consider anothercase involving anything otherthan a minor decoy sting opera-tion. None. Zero. Zilch. (As a har-binger of this trend, the December4 meeting also had three minordecoy busts on the docket, includ-ing one at Zack’s Deli.)

That means without the minordecoy program, the Maui CountyDepartment of Liquor Control’s

punitive arm would have beenidle from Christmas to

Memorial Day and beyond.That’s a long vacation.

Fittingly, the case thatfinally broke thisDiMaggio-esque streakwas not typical. Manyboard members seemedsurprised by it, and somewere a tad perturbed. Itrequired several points ofclarification fromDirector Frank Silva,while Chairman DonaldFujii called it “unusual.”

Tune in next week fordetails.

LC WatchROBREPORT

Maui Film Festival mavenBarry Rivers says he feels abit like Shrek—a crazy

movie monster who’s green enough tobe an environmentalist.

Rivers is upbeat as the 10th annualMaui Film Festival at Wailea drawsnear. In a year that could be the mostdifficult to date for the ambitious cin-ematic undertaking, he took theopportunity to go with what works.

“Every year has been challenging inits own way,” says the ever-animatedRivers. “It turns out that withoutsome of the big sponsorship we’ve hadin the past, we’re now more independ-ent than ever. We did more digging.And I think we came up with oursharpest program ever.”

“Every year we sort of ‘genre-size’the program, if that’s a word,” Riverssays. “We do music, comedy, romanticand have some really great films thataddress the needs of the planet andhumankind. Hopefully, we canenlighten a few people along the way.”

But what’s missing is drama. “Thisyear,” Rivers smiles, “our overalltheme is really from the heart. It’s like‘Life….No Drama.’”

Presumably, that means little ofthe gratuitous violence and specialeffects that can be found in the cur-rent Hollywood offerings at Mauimultiplexes—Drag Me to Hell,Terminator Salvation, Angels andDemons, Monsters vs. Aliens. Soundslike a lot of archetypal good vs. evilplots, assuming there are indeedplots to be found.

Rivers is as passionate aboutbringing people together as heis about movies. “We all suc-

ceed or fail together as a community,”he says. Thus, he’s taken some boldsteps to “green” the festival this year.He is offsetting the event’s powerusage, thanks to a partnership withRising Sun Solar. And, for the firsttime, he has gone to an e-book formatfor the festival program, saving10,000 booklets from being printed,

distributed and eventually discarded.(You can find the festival e-book atmauifilmfestival.com/program.)

For those who have less green in theirpockets, Rivers is determined to make theevents easy and affordable. The CelestialCinema venue, with blankets and foldingchairs under the stars on the Wailea golfcourse lawn, is the “crown jewel” of thefestival. This year’s Celestial Cinema hasfour triple-features and a double featurewith HAPA also providing entertain-ment—each for $20.

Now, for everyone who ever wrote ahigh school book report after only readingthe Cliff’s Notes, here are this year’s eco-films that caught my eye (after readingreviews and watching trailers):

One Peace at a TimeWriter/director Turk Pipkin is remem-

bered for Nobelity, his uplifting docu-mentary featuring interviews of NobelPrize winners. His latest effort examinessome of the world’s toughest humanitari-an issues, such as cluster bombs that aremanufactured, exported and used by theUnited States.

From the orphanages of India to dig-ging a well in Ethiopia, from fightingpoverty in Bangladesh to passing out con-doms in Thailand to battle HIV/AIDS andsoaring birth rates, the film is a sobering

dose of reality that’s refreshingly focusedon solutions. Maui’s beloved WillieNelson makes a cameo in this world pre-miere showing.

“There’s nothing magical aboutchange,” the film proclaims. “It’s aboutgetting up off your ass.”

Blue Gold: World Water WarsLester Brown, founder of Worldwatch

Institute and Earth Policy Institute, haslong warned that access to clean, freshwater is the planet’s most vital environ-mental issue. The producers of TheCorporation bring compelling awarenessto the issues surrounding dwindlingpotable water sources, privatization,desertification and even the proliferationof plastic bottles.

International corporations, includingCoca-Cola, Bechtel, Nestle and Perrierare seizing control of water resources onseveral continents, primarily for theirown profit. Clouds are being stolen inChina. The Bush family is buying riverland in Paraguay.

Blue Gold also offers some solutions tothe crisis of the expanding “water cartel,”and shares some success stories.Bolivian peasants, fired upon by theirown army for gathering rainwater, wereable to drive Bechtel out.

The issues should have special rele-vance here on Maui, where corporateplantation agriculture maintains con-trol over public trust water resources.On the heels of Maui Tomorrow’s recentfree screening of The Waterfront onEarth Day, Blue Gold is likely to educateand motivate.

“The political will to change [this unjustsystem] is not going to come from thetop,” says one of the movie’s interviewees.“It’s going to come from the bottom up.”

Cash CropIn Maui’s not-so-dis-

tant past, marijuanarivaled or surpassedsugar cane as Maui’snumber one cashcrop, and contributeda significant boost tothe local economy.

“There’s nothing magical aboutchange,” the film proclaims. “It’s

about getting up off your ass.”


ROBREPORT

This was before federally funded heli-copter eradication funds becameavailable for Project Greenharvest,during the George H.W. Bush, “JustSay No” era.

“Cash Crop” examines regionswhere marijuana is grown in abun-dance, legally and illegally, as part ofan estimated $35 billion dollar busi-ness. It focuses especially onNorthern California, where the lum-ber industry is facing diminishingreturns and residents say that med-ical marijuana laws have made it pos-sible for local economies to survive.

While many are calling for a new,“green” economy, some may getsqueamish when the thought ofgrowing marijuana is included inthe discussion. But one MendecinoCounty sheriff is tired of spendingso much time enforcing existinglaws. “Let’s move on,” he says. “Thefact of the matter is, Americans liketheir marijuana.”

DirtThe two-minute movie trailer for

Dirt bowled me over—total chickenskin. The juxtaposition of devastation(industrial agriculture and its world-wide impact) and inspiration (soil’slife-giving properties and its intricate,complex network of organisms) ispowerful, to say the least.

And the film zooms in on peoplewho are passionate about dirt, peoplewho have founded entire movements:physicist Vandana Shiva; Berkeley’sAlice Waters of the edible schoolyardmovement; Kenyan Wangari Maathaiof the green belt movement; AndyLipkis, founder of Tree People; andCarlo Petrini, who founded the slowfood movement.

Like water, the ubiquitous natureof dirt has led us to take it for grantedand to not adequately nurture andprotect our soil. “We survive on thefertile power of fresh water and dirt,”

the film proclaims. “All other measure-ments of wealth are illusions.”

Houston, We Have a ProblemWe’ve all seen movies (think Al Gore’s

An Inconvenient Truth) that bombard uswith the severity of big problems but don’toffer enough tangible solutions. Houston,We Have a Problem seeks not just todemonize our dependence on oil, but tohumanize the issue as well.

It examines past political decisions thathave ultimately made us more petroleum-dependent. “We need to tear the oil indus-try out of yesterday,” says the SierraClub’s Carl Pope, “and get them thinkingabout tomorrow.”

The film explores a potpourri of energyalternatives. While acknowledging that nosingle technology will replace cheap oil, itmakes the case that a variety of differentsolutions could serve as “a box of silverbullets.” (No, I don’t think they mean acase of Coors, though the problem isdaunting enough to drive one to drink.)

The CoveLed by a dolphin-training authority

who worked on the television programFlipper back in the 1960s, a covert groupof activists, divers and filmmakers travelsto a hidden cove in Japan. There, withaction/adventure-paced excitement, adeadly secret is uncovered. And that’smerely the tip of the iceberg.

Tabbed an “eco-thriller” by HuffingtonPost, The Cove was also an AudienceAward-winner at the Sundance FilmFestival. Producer/director and part-timeMaui resident Richard Donner(Superman, Lethal Weapon, et al) saysthe film “is a call to action that has thepower to save dolphins, oceans and our-selves.”

Meanwhile, The Dolphin Project is an8-minute short that examines these high-ly social and intelligent creatures. Itscreens as one of six films in the ExploreShorts Showcase, which also includesRwanda Gorilla Special, and Artic:Change at the Top of the World.

Processed PeopleThis documentary challenges

Americans to look at their largely uncon-scious consumption of processed foods.Steeped in opinions from medical profes-sionals, it reminds us that we’re muchmore accustomed to treating disease thanpromoting health.

The film also asks relevant questions(why not have subsidies for fruits and veg-etables instead of rewarding those whoproduce crops that wind up as processedfoods?). Like a good bop on the head (“Icould have had a V-8!”), Processed Peoplereminds us of things we might haveknown already, but tend to forget. MTW

MAUICOUNTY

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3

Let the legal parsing begin. Afterordering work furloughs for all stateemployees—which will amount to a 14percent across-the-board pay cut—Gov. Lingle is arguing she had theright to do so under a law concerningemergencies. But, you see, she’s notreally calling this an emergency,except in the “informal sense,”according to an AP report. Lingle isquoted as saying she has “implied

authority” to order the furloughswithout approval from the legislature.As House and Senate leaders andunion lawyers come charging, that’sa pretty weak reed.

THURSDAY, JUNE 4On the same subject: An interestingwrinkle in this unfolding drama isburied near the end of that same APreport: “In February, Deputy Attorney

General James Halvorson wroteHouse Speaker Calvin Say thatLingle has ‘unclear’…authority to fur-lough workers…But in a second letterto Say last week, Halvorson [wrote]that [f]urloughs ‘are not subject to anytype of mandatory negotiation.’” Thereare three possibilities here: 1)Halvorson genuinely believed bothopinions at the time he wrote them andchanged his tune because of new, inde-pendently obtained information orinterpretation; 2) Halvorson genuinelybelieved the first opinion but was influ-enced by, ahem, someone when heissued the second opinion; or 3) bothopinions were written with an ulteriormotive to serve, cough, a specific inter-est. I’ll leave it to the discerning readerto choose which scenario they think is

most likely. NOTE: While searching formore info on this issue, I found my way toHawaii government/media watchdogDoug White’s blog (poinography.com). Inan entry posted yesterday, he addressed theDeputy AG’s divergent opinions, and did agood job of concisely elucidating whatseems to be a deft bit of political trickery.He also provides a link to a Hawaii House

Blog post where you can read both opin-ions for yourself.

FRIDAY, JUNE 5We didn’t endorse Mike Molina or Mike

Victorino in the last election and havetaken swings at both, but that doesn’tmean we can’t give credit where it’s due:kudos to the councilmen for introducingbills that, if passed, would ban plastic

bags and Styrofoam takeout containersin Maui County beginning in 2011. Thearguments against the bills will be eye-rollingly familiar to anyone who’s followedsimilar efforts elsewhere. They mostly cen-ter on the notion that it’s an undue finan-

cial burden on restaurants. In anticipationof that objection, Victorino’s bill—theStyrofoam ban—offers an exemption tocompanies that can’t afford to make theswitch (and can prove it). Really though,this is about more than money. Our land-

fill is close to overflowing—officials esti-mate it’ll be stuffed to capacity in lessthan two decades if we keep throwingthings away at the current rate. Mauistands at a crossroads: we can be a micro-cosm of sustainability and innovation, orwe can be the canary in the coalmine.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6In honor of the soldiers who bled and diedon that beachhead in France 65 yearsago: “It is my earnest hope—indeed thehope of all mankind—that from thissolemn occasion a better world shallemerge out of the blood and carnage of thepast…a world dedicated to the dignity ofman and the fulfillment of his most cher-ished wish for freedom, tolerance and jus-tice.” - Gen. Douglas MacArthur

SUNDAY, JUNE 7Whether the arrival of a Target store onMaui would be an economic boon or anoth-er nail in the coffin depends on your visionof the island’s future. With people out ofwork and the economy on life support, theissue gets even more muddled. “Muddled”is exactly the word to describe the big box

ban that’s still under consideration by thecounty council some two years after it wasintroduced. The bill was recently kickedback to the Planning Committee, whichjust four months ago unanimously voted tosend it to the council. (Dizzy yet?) Wal-

Mart, Costco and other retail behemothsare of course fighting the bill—which wouldput a cap on the square-footage of newstores built in the county—and two dozenpeople who may or may not have been

influenced by those companies voicedopposition at a recent council meeting,which also featured an appearance by aTarget representative.

MONDAY, JUNE 8For obvious reasons, there’s been a lot ofdiscussion around the office about how(and how much) the Internet is changingthe newspaper business. The biggestshift, we all agree, is in the way readers con-sume news, and more specifically how theyexpect it to be delivered. It’s a conversationthat’s happening in newsrooms of all sizesfrom Maui to Manhattan to Mumbai asprint journalism wrestles with a troublingparadox: revenue is declining (recession orno) even as readership is at an all-timehigh. Anyway, if you care about this stuff atall I’m sure I haven’t told you anything youdidn’t already know, and if you don’t careabout this stuff, well, what are you doingusing a newspaper for something otherthan a birdcage liner? The reason I men-tion it is to set up an interesting tidbit fromthe May/June issue of Columbia

Journalism Review, which is an underap-

preciated publication. The issue features astory, titled “Identity Crisis,” about thechanges that have taken place at The Wall

Street Journal since Rupert Murdoch’stoo-evil-sounding-to-be-true News Corp.

took over. The story quotes a number ofcurrent and former Journal reporters,most of whom understandably chose toremain anonymous, who say the paper hasshifted away from long-form investigativepieces that offer context and analysis andplaced a stifling emphasis on shorter, morenuts and bolts breaking news. The mostinteresting quote came from editor Robert

Thomson, a Murdoch man, who defendsthis approach by saying the Internet hasinstilled in readers “a ruthless functionali-ty.” While I disagree with the conclusionthat newspapers should slavishly cater tothis tendency by providing only easilydigestible bites that deemphasize nuanceand shun the slow windup or informativedigression—there’s got to be a way to doboth—I think Thomson’s three-worddescription of the average 21st century

media consumer is spot-on.

COCONUTWIRELESSTHE WEEK IN REVIEW

Want one of these, Maui?

OVERHEARD...

“He used to be cool before he tried to be.”- Man to his buddy on Front Street in Lahaina


I t’s been more than 200 years since Haleakala last erupted. Today, its majesticslopes stand as a silent monument to the bursts of molten fire that gave shapeto the Valley Isle. Yet while the volcano lies dormant, the controversy swirling

around it is anything but. A towering example of Maui’s singular natural beauty, a magnet for tourists

and a prime location for scientific study, Haleakala, the “house of the sun,” is alsoan important part of Native Hawaiian culture, a focal point of worship and rever-ence. Because of those competing interests, tension is always roiling just beneaththe surface.

For the past several years that tension has been exacerbated by a large solar tel-escope that the National Science Foundation (NSF) wants to build near the vol-cano’s summit. As a decision on the telescope nears, the forces for and against theproject are making their final arguments. It’s a battle that involves advocates fromthe environmental, scientific, business and Native Hawaiian communities. And aswith all such fights, it’s more complicated than it appears.

T he proposed 143-foot-tall Advanced Solar Technology Telescope (ATST),which would measure solar magnetic fields with cutting-edge precision, hasbeen in the works for the better part of a decade. It has hit numerous stum-

bling blocks, and met with opposition from various organizations and agenciesincluding, at one point, the Haleakala National Park Service. With the release of anew draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the project is entering whatlooks to be the home stretch. Written public comments are being accepted throughJune 22, and a decision by NSF Director Arden Bement is expected by year’s end.

So far, NSF officials say they’ve spent about $23 million on design and plan-ning. But, they insist, that doesn’t mean the telescope is a foregone conclusion.

“If constructed, this would be the world’s flagship [solar observation] facility,”said program manager Craig Foltz at a recent meeting at the Cameron Center, oneof the final opportunities for citizens to speak publicly on the matter. However,Foltz quickly added, nothing has been decided yet.

Flotz also emphasized that NSF, which is a taxpayer-funded agency, onlyapproves projects after extensive deliberation. “We don’t sit around and say, ‘Hey,wouldn’t it be great for us to build this big telescope and put it on top ofHaleakala?’ That’s not the way it works,” he said. “We are a reactive agency thatresponds to the members of the scientific community.”

The assurances of Foltz and the handful of other government representatives inattendance did little to assuage the anger or allay the concerns of the anti-ATST

contingency. Of the 14 people who spoke or had statements read at the CameronCenter meeting, eight expressed opposition to the telescope and five voiced sup-port. Of those who opposed the project, all but one did so based largely on culturalconcerns. Although, as one speaker put it, those concerns are also environmentalbecause the land, the ‘aina, is held as sacred.

One refrain that was voiced repeatedly at the meeting, and that has beenpart of this debate from the beginning, is the idea, supported by evidence, that

ancient Hawaiians wereearly astronomers whoused the stars for naviga-tion and to understand theworld around them. Awoman who said she wasspeaking “for those whohave passed” didn’t disputethat notion, but said herancestors “knew when tostop looking up at the skythat was falling and dosomething about it.”

“I’m not against science.Like my kupuna I believethat science is a valuable andimportant part of our exis-tence,” said Native Hawaiian

advocate Foster Ampong, who, like several others, used up his three minutes ofallotted time and waited for a second turn to speak. However, Ampong added, theATST project is “not sustainable.”

S tan Truitt, who identified himself as an amateur astronomer, said hesupports the project’s “construction, operation—and eventual removal.”Truitt said one day, the ATST’s technology will be obsolete and that

we’ll have learned what we can from it. “[The telescope should] eventually goaway, just as all things that man makes eventually go away, including the pyr-amids,” he said.

For now, Truitt said, the ATST would be a significant boon to the island. “Thisis a good thing for mankind and a good thing for Maui,” he said. “I so often hear

So far, NSF officialssay they’ve spentabout $23 million ondesign and planning.But, they insist, thatdoesn’t mean the telescope is a foregone conclusion.

colleagues and neighbors talking about their students, the best and brightest stu-dents, that [get] an education elsewhere and then cannot come back to Maui to[share] their knowledge.”

Also on hand were representatives from the construction and hotel industries,who touted the economic benefits of the project. “This won’t put everyone back towork, but it’ll help,” said Ivan Lay of the Maui Carpenters Union.

Ampong compared those arguments to “what the plantations have told thepeople for the past hundredyears.” Clare Apana added that thepresence of the union and hotelworkers showed that the project“can’t stand on its own merit.”

Many speakers used the ATSTas a jumping off point to addresslarger, more deep-seated griev-ances. Topics raised includedceded Native Hawaiian lands, theviability of tourism and the U.S.Constitution. At one point, some-one seated in the back row mut-tered, “What does any of this haveto do with a telescope?”

A 15-year-old student fromKamehameha Schools who said he was “speaking on behalf of future generations”questioned whether the telescope would have any lasting benefit for Hawaiians.“We can look at the sun all we want,” he said, “but what happens when the earthwe stand on crumbles away?”

Not everyone who spoke against the project focused solely on cultural con-cerns. Richard Lucas of Haiku lambasted the “lack of transparency” in the draftEIS, which he said omits information about alternative sites such as Big Bear

Lake in California. He said themoney already spent on devel-opment, as well as the $146 mil-lion in federal stimulus fundsearmarked for the project, isputting pressure on officials tomove it forward.

Lucas said Haleakala is “in theprocess of healing itself” andcompared building the ATST onthe mountain’s slopes to “tearingoff a scab.”

What’s interesting aboutthis debate is that bothsides come in with lofty

ideals. For Native Hawaiians and

those sympathetic to their cause, it’s about honoring tradition, upholding a sacredkuliana and preserving what’s left of an island that has endured dramatic, perhapsirreversible, change. For those who support the telescope, it’s about studying thesun—that massive, burning ball of gas at the center of our solar system—andunlocking mysteries related to global communications, weather patterns and thefuture of life on Earth.

What this clash of deeply held values means is that compromise may not bepossible. If Haleakala is your church, no further construction, no matter howunobtrusive or conscientious, is acceptable. (As several speakers put it “youcan’t mitigate spirituality.”) At the same time, though NSF officials and the sci-entific community have made conciliatory overtures, in the end they chose thissite with full awareness of its importance to Native Hawaiians.

Of course, whether or not the ASTST is constructed, this fight won’t end; therewill be other battlegrounds, other projects. The tug-of-war between preservationand progress will go on. And the fragile, uncertain future of Maui—and all ofHawaii—will hang, as ever, in the balance. MTW

At one point,someone seatedin the back rowmuttered, “Whatdoes any of thishave to do with atelescope?”

The Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) is designed tomonitor solar activity and magnetic fields. If approved, constructionwould begin in 2010, with initial telescope operations commencing in2015. Here’s an overview of the project:

Telescope pier – 69 ft. 4 in. in diameter, 67 ft. high with 20 in.thick concrete walls

Enclosure – Four levels, 94 ft. 4 in. in diameter, 142 ft. 10 in. inheight at the top of the dome

Support & operations building – 13,000 square feet, four levels,79 ft. 3 in. in height

Utility building – 2,560 square feet, one level, 18 ft. in height

Son’z shinesAn expansive wine list, local ingredients and meatlessoptions make for resort dining that’s a cut above


BY KATE [email protected]

ONO KINEGRINDS

It looks like the kind of place F.Scott Fitzgerald would havetaken Zelda had they elected to

vacation at Kaanapali instead of theDon Cesar. It’s got an art deco-tropi-cal aesthetic that my editor calls“gecko-deco,” a clean look with jungleaccents. But Son’z at Swan Court,

waterfall, diving swans and all, is farbeyond the standard swank surf-and-turf resort dinner destination.

It was surprising, frankly, that themajority of those dining at this open-air spot on a recent evening appearedto be visitors. If that’s average,Mauians are missing out.

Affordability is always an issue atplaces like this, but the folks at Son’z havejust unveiled a killer sunset dining deal: athree-course meal, including Cesar salad,choice of ono, island catch or PappardelleVeneziana and homemade raspberrypie—for $19.95. Not bad.

Born in the Philippines and raised in theHawaiian Isles, Executive Chef GenoSarmiento has creative license for themenu at Son’z, which belongs to the samerestaurant family Sarento’s and Nick’sFishmarket. The result is colorful andintoxicatingly tasty fare.

Case in point: when the staunchest ofcarnivores raves about a place’s gazpacho,you know you’re onto something. Thechilled, herbed Olowalu tomato, roastedred bell and apple soup is served withmango relish and topped with cucumbersorbet. If that wasn’t a perfect starter for awarm evening, the bubbly that wine andbeverages director Ara Gurunian recom-mends with it, Charles De Fere Jean-Louis,brings it over the top.

I must note the wine list (which is moreof an arsenal). Gurunian says theirs is oneof the biggest wine cellars in the state.They’ve received the Wine SpectatorAward of Excellence every year since therestaurant’s 2005 inception.

When pairing wines with a multiple-course meal, Gurunian does the unthink-able: he goes out of order, jumping fromchardonnay to merlot to Riesling withoutbatting an eye if it suits a dish. Life is tooshort, he says, to follow the rules.

He pours Cono Sur, a Chilean pinotnoir, with the vegan phyllo purse, phyllodough wrapped around roasted vegeta-bles. (Gurunian and Sarmiento emphasizethat although you won’t see any veganitems on the menu, they’re happy to pre-pare vegetarian or vegan dishes if asked.)

It’s topped with garlic and pine nut-tingedRomesco sauce and teeming with a rich,smoky flavor. As for my carnivore coun-terparts, a piece of tiger-eye sushi (withyellowfin tuna, asparagus and light tem-pura) sits on one side of the plate, joinedon the other by sweet tiger shrimp on olivebread topped with creamy tomato sauce.

The salads on the menu are beyondwhat one usually expects, with compo-nents like roasted caper vinaigrette,hearts of palm, Asian pear and Kula corn.

“Our main focus is using local ingredi-ents,” Sarmiento says.

Main course options include Hawaiianopakapaka picatta with sweet potato hash,caperberries and “overnight” tomatopuree (which, as the name suggests, roastsovernight), and the grilled rack of lambwith kabocha gnocchi, blanched garlicpuree, baby artichokes and mint pesto.

For vegans, there’s steamed tofu toppedwith pineapple ginger sauce served roomtemp over soba noodles, finished off withsizzling Szechwan oil (a dish thatGurunian says “screams for Risling”).Another option is the hearty grilled mush-room plate: portabella, shimeji, oyster andalii mushrooms, all grown on the BigIsland’s Hamakua Coast, served over truf-fled mashed potatoes.

Those who prefer liquid dessert shouldnote the drink list. While he says mostpeople order mai-tais, bartender EricThomas shakes up a mean mango martini.Or try the key-lime martini, with its gra-ham cracker crumb-lined rim.

A few of these delightful concoctionsare an excellent way to wind down theevening in style, as the waterfall babblesin the background of this sparkling—andvery hidden—gem. MTW

TAKEFIVE

HAWAIIAN MOONS NATURAL FOODSBeach season is upon us. Unfortunately, due to some traveling and unhealthyamounts of eating, I’m going to have to go on a diet before I can be deemed biki-ni-worthy. The things is, I want to be trim and healthy without resorting to eatingprocessed squares of chalky health bars and terrible tasting shakes. HawaiianMoons serves the South side with scrumptious meals from its hot and cold bar;you get the full flavor of delicious, organic food without the trans-fats and gener-al nastiness of other places. If you’re a fan of tofu, search no more. HawaiianMoons serves the versatile soy product in an array of gastronomically pleasingways. With Hawaiian Moons’ help, you’ll be beach-bound in no time. 2411 S. KiheiRd., Kihei, 875-4356.

JOY’S PLACEI am a chili fanatic. I love a goodchili and collect recipes the waysome people collect venerealdiseases. Joy’s chili is heaven-ly—and meatless to boot. Joy’suses organic, fresh ingredientsand also boasts great soups, sal-ads, sandwiches and springrolls. And that’s just the “s” por-tion of the menu. If you’re look-ing for delicious, healthy food,

Joy’s is definitely a treat. The best part: you can even have dessert here withoutbreaking your diet. 1993 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 879-9258.

ALIVE & WELL When I was looking to be a lean, mean fighting machine, I went to Alive & Well tobuy my supplements. Too bad I couldn’t find motivation in the aisles (next to thespirulina?) or else I could’ve been a contender. Ignoring that, Alive & Well serves upa delicious deli section during the lunch rush. They’ve got delectable salads andhealthy servings of hot food as well. 340 Hana Hwy., Kahului, 877-4950.

DOWN TO EARTH NATURAL FOODSI once attended a cooking class at Down to Earth,where I learned how to make a meatless meatloafand dairy-free pudding, among other things.During the class, I had the most deliciousepiphany: I could make mock chicken in the com-fort of my home. For years, I’d salivated over thedelicious fake fowl in the Down to Earth deli, butnow, I thought, I could bid the health food store afond farewell. Of course, a few days later I was backin the deli grabbing my fix of mock chicken. Itturns out I’m not as at home in the kitchen as Ithought. (In addition to mock chicken, Down toEarth’s deli serves vegetarian dishes like lasagna,enchiladas and a mean apple crisp.) 305 DairyRd., Kahului, 877-2661.

JAMBA JUICEHere’s the thing about Jamba Juice: the smoothies are mealreplacements, not drinks. I don’t get it when people ordersomething at Jamba Juice as a beverage to go along with the

food they’re already eating; it’s like super-sizing your McDonald’smeal then adding a diet soda. Even when consumed alone, some of

the more tasty Jamba Juice options are probably impractical forweight loss. Oh well—they do offer “lite” alternatives that are actual-

ly pretty good. Islandwide. MTW

Fever pitchCharismatic reggae-rockers owe theirsuccess to Craigslist

If I could jam out with any drum-mer on the tune “When theLevee Breaks” I would have to

choose James Bowersox. The guycan pull off some of the most wildlycomplex yet highly calculated

rhythms and solos I’ve seen live, andmakes it look like it’s nothing. Hecan go from Moon to Krupa in aheartbeat while shotgunning a tall-boy of Bud.

Not surprisingly, his resume containssome of Maui’s more innovative acts: TheEazy, Byron Brown and the Derelicts,Guerrilla Jazz.

His latest project, a reggae-rock triodubbed Rock Fever Remedy, is takingMaui venues by storm despite havingformed barely four months ago. With reg-ular gigs at Moose’s Lahaina, a fewupcoming Oahu shows and a slot in thisweekend’s Sheepdawg Festival, RFRseems to know how to get the word out.

“This guy lights a fire under ourasses,” says guitarist and vocalist NoahBroe of Bowersox, who writes a sizablechunk of the band’s material (the tunesposted on RFR’s MySpace page are hiscompositions).

Broe is a recent transplant from thenorthern reaches of the Tampa BayArea, which has a relative wealth of ven-ues for singer/songwriters. I lived thereat one point; we apparently both fre-quented spots like the Blueberry Patch,

Skipper’s Smokehouse and DunedinBrewery, but our paths never reallycrossed. We get a tad nostalgic goingdown the list of people and locales thatmade the place so damned—contrary topopular belief—cool.

Fresh from a stint with the bandHarmony Bus, Broe landed on Maui inearly February 2009, looking for a littleinspiration. I met him at Baldwin Beach.Mojomana’s Melissa M. and I were swap-ping tunes when he walked up to us, hisguitar in tow. Nice kid, I thought.Months go by and he seems to have agood thing going.

Bass player (though they do switch itup) Alan Jacob hails from Austin, Texasand came to Maui by way of Lanai.Bowersox’s Derelicts bandmate and asinger/songwriter by trade, his style gelswith Broe’s quite well. Both have a heavySublime influence.

“I was one of those Sublime-changed-my-life kids,” Broe says. Jacob concurs.

It is here that I must make a confes-sion: I wouldn’t touch 40 Oz. to Freedomwith a ten-foot pole. (A sentiment inwhich I’m essentially alone; the guys saycrowds go nuts whenever they break out aSublime cover.)

Yet while they embrace similar chordprogressions and song structures, RFR isnot out solely to replicate Sublime. Youcan sense actual musicianship in eachtune’s instrumental tracks. Bowersox’sbrutally good drum solos add to the sensethat these gentlemen mean business.

Broe has a knack for being a vocalist,and constructs melodies that show off hisnaturally good voice—melodies that ingeneral follow easy, catchy arcs loadedwith mainstream appeal. He occasionallylapses into spoken word, and even has a

few tunes whose sole vocal component isessentially a rap.

Broe and Jacob are lyrically divergent.Broe tends to focus on politics, con-sciousness and existential questions (thelatter in the same vein as “What I Got”).There is an overwhelming sense of opti-mism in Broe’s lyrics, which lends itselfto an almost, at times, naïve degree ofidealism. Jacob says he writes primarilyabout relationships. (The guy is a heart-throb, but his demeanor is too humble towarrant player status.)

How’d the band got together?Craigslist. Upon arrival, Broe posted an adcalling for other musicians with a link toBroe’s solo MySpace music page(myspace.com/noahbroe). Bowersoxdecided to check it out. “I pressed play andwas like, oh, I like this,” he says.

The three engaged in an impromptujam session at a Byron Brown and theDerelicts gig and decided to give it a go.They share a common drive, which theirhigh volume of shows—on- and off-island—makes apparent.

At Sheepdawg, they’ll share the stagewith the girls from Kit Kat Club cabaret,who’ve choreographed a number to RFR’s“Walking After Midnight” (PatsyCline)/“Folsom Prison Blues” (TheEverlast version).

There are few better-fitting venues thana multi-day music festival for a bandwhose core philosophy can be summed upby the following phrase, which Broe is fondof saying: “Let the music get you rockin’while you still got your soul.” MTW

[song] “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”The SlitsNothing against Creedence, but this ’70s girl punk group’s cover of the seminalMotown ditty is the most interesting to date. It lends “Grapevine” a degree of sassthat transforms it from a song of pining codependence to one of scoffing indifference.On the whole, these broads generated a body of work that broke down barriers of allkinds and never fit squarely into the punkrock genre. Considering the thick irreverenceand highly un-self conscious tone The Slitsemployed, they probably couldn’t have caredless. They were among the first girl bands tointelligently rebel against things like sexism(the name says it all), capitalism(“Shoplifting”) and conformity (“TypicalGirls”). But while their music serves as areminder that being female doesn’t limit ourpotential or right to fly in the face of conven-tion, even the most macho Joni-phobe canfeel comfortable taking these chicks for a spin.


MINDCANDY

[book] Pride and Prejudice and ZombiesJane Austen/Seth Grahame SmithNot that I believe that there are actually two types of people in the world, but thereare two types of people in the world: zombie people and vampire people. I’ve debat-ed with many on the question of zombies vs. vampires and, as a fan of zombies, I have

to say that vampires are shallow and take themselvestoo seriously. Zombies, on the other hand, are a bla-tant vehicle for social commentary. Plus, once you getpast the brutality, they can be quite funny. Enhancinga Jane Austen classic about marriage and class inpolite English society with legions of undead brain-munchers is nothing if not creative. Turn lovable pro-tagonist Elizabeth Bennett and proud antagonist Mr.Darcy into lethal assassins and you have a novel that isnothing if not over the top. The book is practicallyworth picking up by virtue of the first sentence alone(especially if you’ve read the original version): “It is atruth universally acknowledged that a zombie in pos-session of brains must be in want of more brains.”

[DVD] The traveling salesman jokeBob Odenkirk & David Cross, ‘Mr. Show’OK, so how do I discuss this without giving toomuch away? Basically, an ultra-conservativeDixiecrat senator played by Bob Odenkirk wants tocut all art funding, and compares the arts to thecow-milking machine that’s behind the third holein the barn wall that serves as the original joke’spunchline. In fact, the only art project of which heapproves is a musical adaptation of said joke.David Cross plays the traveling salesman. JackBlack is the farmer. Odenkirk is cast as the hatedmilk machine. The production chronicles thestruggles the salesman experiences when temptedto do exactly what the farmer tells him not to do.Only Mr. Show can pull off something of thiscomic scale. Anyway, check it out on DVD (seasonone, episode two) and see for yourself. MTW


Whether it’s movies or songs,the way to take somethingold and make it new is to

keep what worked the first time andadd personal, relevant touches thatboth a new audience and the originalartists would appreciate. My problemwith director Tony Scott’s remake of

The Taking of Pelham 123 is that hetries very hard to make the storysomething it isn’t and almost derailsthis subway hostage thriller.

As in the original, a meek New YorkCity subway control worker (DenzelWashington) has the worst day of his

life when he finds the train of the title seizedby a trigger-happy terrorist (John Travolta)who wants his demands met or he and hiscrew will terminate every passenger aboard.The original film, which starred WalterMatthau and Robert Shaw, was a suspense-ful cat and mouse game between criminaland everyman, with a killer final scene. Theremake is faithful until the third act, whichborrows heavily from Speed and eliminatesthe tension and claustrophobic setting byconstantly cutting outside of the subway toscenes of smashing cars that play like Fast &Furious outtakes.

Scott directed Top Gun and TrueRomance and knows how to make a greataction movie, but his style over the pastfew years has become like Michael Bay onRedbull, with aggressively shaky camerawork, strobe light editing, color filters andrandom blasts of the soundtrack thatscream, “in your face, moviegoer!” Youwon’t be bored, but his overdoneapproach is distracting and irritating.

The performances are what keep themovie together, starting with

Washington’s masterful underplaying,countered perfectly by Travolta’s livewire,flamboyant performance. Their give-and-take scenes are so riveting, you may forgetthat their characters are almost never inthe same place together and are talking toone another through speakerphones.Washington can play cool and driven, butit’s enjoyable to watch him play someoneso vulnerable, while Travolta is, again, aterrific villain. James Gandolfini gives anenjoyable performance as the flusteredbut camera-ready Mayor, but JohnTurturro, playing a compassionate, no-nonsense cop, almost steals the movie; he

and Washington are frequent collabora-tors in Spike Lee films and all of theDenzel/Turturro scenes really crackle.

The screenplay succeeds when it sticks tothe basics but stumbles when the actionmoves out of the initial setting, piles onneedless, silly uses of profanity and dumbed-down storytelling (just in case you missed it,someone actually asks what Pelham 123 is).

Scott’s determination to make every audi-ence member cross-eyed and deaf eclipseshow good he is with actors. Stick with themilder but far better original. It may lackDenzel and Travolta, but you won’t be reach-ing for the Advil when it’s over. MTW

Happy King K. Day!Thursday, June 11To say King Kamehameha Day is a major Hawaiian holiday is like saying chocolate is amajor ice cream flavor—true, but a gross understatement. First observed more than 130years ago after a decree by the king’s grandson, Kamehameha V, the day has long been achance to honor a revered monarch, dance, attend parades, eat, drink and, yes, take the dayoff. Though Maui no longer has any major, centralized celebrations, it’s a fine excuse to gettogether with family and friends and do whatever it is you love to do, while pausing toremember a highly influential historical figure deemed worthy of the title “Great.” [JS]

Hungry freaks, DaddySaturday (June 13), 5 & 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACCHippies. While I believe that we’re all duty bound to pull our own weight, and believeone can both have a job and challenge obsolete and arbitrary social institutions, I givecredit to those few hippies who can actually articulate their rationale for “dropping out.”(Especially when so many of them drop back in eventually.) Anyhow, “hippie” is justanother marketing tool and has been for decades. Taylor Camp, the film directed byRobert Stone that’s screening at the MACC this weekend, documents a hippie wave thatwashed through Kauai’s north shore from 1969-’77. It all started when Howard Taylor

(brother of Elizabeth) bailed out 13 hippies who had been arrested for vagrancy and letthem crash on some of his land in Ha‘ena. Word spread and soon surfers, traumatizedVietnam vets and others made the pilgrimage. The scene became clothing optional andgrass-conducive. You can guess what happened next. (Hint: it involved the governmentand a few torches.) I guess the squares wanted to make an example of those who daredto question the great mistake.

Sheer funSaturday & Sunday (June 13 & 14), all day, Camp Keanae

Speaking of hippies, the same era that spawned them also churned out some of the bestmusic this planet has ever seen (I’m in my 20s and listening to the Velvet Undergroundon a Zappa Pandora station as I type.) While Woodstock has been co-opted beyondrecognition, multi-day music fests are alive and well. This weekend’s Sheep Dawg

Festival is a case-in-point. This Ricochet Productions event combines art communi-ty-mindedness and a killer musical lineup to make for a most delightful weekend.Slated performers include, among others, The Itals, Lukas Nelson & the Promise of

the Real (Nelson ispictured), Ooklah

the Moc, theGoddess Alchemy

Project, Jamallad &

the Global Citizens

and P.O.R.T.A.L.

Others attractionsinclude a perform-ance by Kit Kat Club,a trippy blacklightshow and aerial acro-

batics. Free on-sitecamping with ticketpurchase. $250.

Break out the swankSaturday (June 13), 10pm,Timba, 505 Front St., Lahaina

It was one of those rare occasionswhen I found myself on the West

side on a Friday evening (logistics,namely distance, are often prohib-itive). I was checking out Kit KatClub at a Front Street drinkerywhen I was introduced to a man

who was in the process of openingup a new nightclub, and looked quite

young to be doing so. The bureaucraticprocesses he described seemed daunting at

best, prohibitive at worst. Months later, here we are, andTimba—the new club—is open. It’s a different type of place, I’m

told; more on the dressed-to-the-Ts, martini side than that ofslippers and Heinekens (though there is no dress code). Saturday

night will serve as Timba’s grand opening celebration, and a moststylin’ occasion it is expected to be. DJ Del Sol will be spinning tunes

and Rikah of Capp Records will provide live vocals. A number of localcompanies will provide door prizes, including UFO Parasail and Makena

Surfwear. I noticed a few intriguing concoctions on the drink menu,which is featured on the bar’s Web site (timbamaui.com). Call to RSVP, asattendance is limited. $10.

Bad acidSunday (June 14), all day, Maui Ocean Center, Maalaea

Of all the great modern environmental catastrophes, global warming is probably thebiggest limelight hog. But there is another, possibly scarier hazard believed toaccompany excessive CO2 emissions: ocean acidification. The UNIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, among other entities, acknowledgesthis ugly phenomenon. Ocean acidification is believed to occur as a result of theocean’s absorption of CO2, which lowers the water’s pH (making it more acidic). Thepteropod, pictured, is an integral part of the food chain that’s believed to be affect-ed. Acidic water makes it extremely difficult for calcifying organisms—ones thatmake their shells—to, well, make their shells. Given the importance of coral andother creatures that calcify, a chemicallyaltered marine environment could spelldisaster. This is why, if you are remotelyconcerned, you ought to check out Maui

Ocean Center’s screening of Sea

Change: Imagine A World Without

Fish. It follows retired educator Sven

Hussaby to research sites throughoutNorway, Alaska and the PacificNorthwest, and incorporates the culturaland economic aspects of this potentiallycatastrophic phenomenon. Call for showtimes. It will also screen Tuesday, June23 as part of MOC’s Sea Talk series.

SIGNLANGUAGE CAERIEL CRESTIN

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)A friend of mine recently described someone we know as “a killjoy.” I hadn’t thought about it that

way, but I had to admit that the label fit perfectly. Now, no one sets out to make everyone around themmiserable. But some people get so caught up in their negative take on the world that they habitually burstballoons and otherwise poke holes in other people’s fun. Try to see what a crap place that is, and insteadof resenting people who are stuck there, do your part in trying to help them get somewhere else. Usually,that’d be fairly futile, but this week you could actually succeed.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)A flyswatter, for all the violence of its use, is still less cruel than flypaper. At least it’s over in a flash;

an insect stuck to a sticky strip of paper must instead wait to slowly starve to death. If you feel inclinedto kill something this week—be it pesky insect, relationship, or idea—do it quickly. Even if it’s harder foryou, it’s still the right thing to do. Killing or tearing something down isn’t supposed to be easy, after all.Do the kind thing and spare them, not yourself. Anything less is just cruel and unusual—they deservebetter from you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)Unlike my poor dog, there’s no reason you need to go outside in the hot sun while wearing a fur coat.

Fishing for sympathy in such a scenario is not going to work out that well for you; I don’t recommend it.Since your suffering is almost entirely self-inflicted, and laughably easy to prevent or relieve, I suggestyou do that at once, or risk the consequences: being made the object of scorn, ridicule, and contempt, notcompassion or empathy. Make things a bit easier on yourself, because no one else will. Take off the damnmink, slather on some sunscreen, and just enjoy the day, already.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)Children and animals behave differently in different contexts—occasionally so much so that they’re

nearly unrecognizable. The angel at home becomes a hellion elsewhere. Although no one really wants tobelieve that their perfect little Poopikins could be such a monster when out of sight and earshot, it stillhappens. I’m sure you’ve witnessed this many times; you just never thought it had anything to do withyou. This week, if anyone tells you something about someone you love that you find difficult or unpleas-ant to believe, give them the benefit of the doubt. They’re not just making stuff up.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)When you get one flat tire, or even two, you file it under “stuff happens” and forget about it. When

you get four at once, while parked, you have to realize that something else is going on. To decide it’s justa bizarre coincidence would be delusional; even if it could be exactly that, it’s highly unlikely. The logicaland correct conclusion is that there’s something more nefarious afoot—it’s time to quit denying it andactually get to the bottom of it instead. Although whoever has it in for you is more subtle and less mali-cious than to cripple your car, it would still be a good idea to find them and fix things sooner rather thanlater, especially because now it would require only a quick heart-to-heart; later, you might need to do awhole lot more to mend that bridge.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)It’s in a plant’s nature to seek the sun; from the moment it sprouts from its seed, it’ll attempt to grow

towards the light, regardless of what’s in the way. Humans are the same—except that it’s in our natureto seek love the way a plant seeks sunlight. You can’t blame a person for grasping at love; it’s almostimpossible to do anything else. If you hit your head on a branch extended to catch the sun, do you blamethe tree? Of course not. Nor should you blame the person who inadvertently hurts you (probably withoutnoticing) while they’re on their own quest for love.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)You pull over to let fire engines and ambulances past, not just because it’s the law, but because what

they’re up to is quite simply more urgent and important than whatever you’re doing. Think of that thisweek, when circumstances demand that you yield right-of-way, so that you can do so gracefully andswiftly, instead of slowly and resentfully. Failing to do so would not only be bad karma—it’d be embar-rassing, too, when everyone found out that you couldn’t be bothered to put aside your own agenda longenough to help (or at least not hinder) someone who richly deserved it.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)There’s the kind of animal lover who ends up capturing, killing, and stuffing the objects of their affec-

tion, and there’s the type that only enjoys the beloved beasts from afar, out of sight and earshot, so asnot to disturb the creatures in their natural habitats. These are two very different kinds of love. One isabout control, possession, and fear, and the other is more based on consideration and appreciation. Mosthuman loves are a mixture of the two. Which does yours most resemble, and is that really what you’reabout? If not, fix it this week.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)Everyone has their own way of doing things. Sure, your way is better, but don’t expect gratitude if you

decide to insist upon it; this isn’t even a “you’ll thank me later” situation—they won’t. While standingyour ground and forcing people to do things the “right” way it certainly an option, this time you’re prob-ably better off just sucking it up and cheerfully doing it the way that’s been suggested. After all, it’s noskin off your back if it’s not done exactly the best way—insisting that it go your way, on the other hand,could get you (emotionally, at least) flayed.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)Even those with the most primitive imaginations can hear a series of sounds and piece together the

scenario that created them; the vividness of such a visualization is no guarantee of its accuracy, howev-er. In fact, what people dream up is behind what they hear is an excellent source of comedy, and, occa-sionally, tragedy. Are you sure that what you think happened, based on admittedly limited information,actually happened? I’m not. Before you leap to conclusions based on assumptions made by your rathervivid imagination, seek corroborating evidence. You might have trouble finding any—since you’re aboutas wrong as could be.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)Getting a gun doesn’t mean you intend to shoot someone; in fact, I’ll bet most gun buyers have no

desire whatsoever to ever use it, and fervently hope it never comes to that. But purchasing a firearmallows for the possibility (some might even say the probability) that you might shoot someone, a scenariothat would be extremely unlikely otherwise. I know the intent is to prevent even more objectionable sit-uations, but things don’t always work out that way. Be careful what doors you open (especially in thename of fear) this week; instead of taking you further from the situation you hope to avoid, they’re likelyto bring you inexorably closer.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)The show must go on, as they say, regardless of what’s happening for you personally. You can’t let

your emotional stuff eclipse what else is going on this week. If you really can’t put that crap aside longenough to get stuff done, do everyone a favor and delegate someone who can. It’s only fair. If you takethat route, however, don’t expect to just take your old duties back when you’re ready for them. It doesn’twork that way. Like it or not, you gave them up for good. It’s good to feel things passionately, but if youthink you’ll feel later that this mountain was rather molehill-esque, it might be better to clear your headand just get over it now.
