IN FOCUS

Photos by Pam Woolway Lawai International Center’s 13th Annual Pilgrimage of Compassion on October 6 included the dedication of the recently completed Hall of Compassion. The handcarved building is true to 13th century architecture. Over the past year, 700 volunteers and supporters devoted time to the the creation of the structure.

A steady rain did not deter pilgrims as they wandered tent to tent for demonstrations of mochi pounding and flower arranging. Taiko drumming and hula preceded a formal blessing by Reverend Kosen Ishikawa and Kumu Puna Dawson.

The property is home to 88 small shrines nestled into the hillside along a path that is a miniature replica of the famous 1,000 mile pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. To learn more visit lawaicenter.org.

Military brat is a term I grew up with, having a father who served as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy for 30 years. My four siblings and I used to visit Dad on “his” Destroyer, where we’d devour platefuls of Oreo cookies in the officer’s mess, then race wild on the ship playing hide-n-seek. This was the 60s–long before homeland security.

I grew up in a Navy town, with parents who sang us sea shanties at bedtime. Outside of military functions, where we had to eat with one hand in the lap and ask politely to pass the butter or risk a knife across the knuckles, we ran like a band of outlaws barefoot and tangled hair with unleashed dogs. Family vacations were out of a camper parked in the mountains where the only rule was to return by 5 for dinner.

Scrappy is a common adjective used to describe my sisters and me, even today.

After college I wound up working as a waitress in a pub owned by a Vietnam veteran in a community bleached in military presence. From

Editor’s Note 1987 to 1996 I worked for Greg McPartlin, owner of McP’s Irish Pub in Coronado, California. To some, Greg’s style of management appeared non-existent.

The McP’s bar ran the full length of one wall. Above the bar, a hundred glass beer mugs hung by sturdy handles that jingled with key chains that identified the regular who drank from them. Greg sat at the corner most afternoons, chatting up customers, with a cigarette in one hand and a Bud Lite in the other. Behind him on the wall hung a framed 30-inch black and white photo taken in Vietnam, of him and a buddy in camouflage gripping massive automatic weapons.

He served multiple tours in Vietnam as a Navy medic and Frogman (predecessors of the SEAL team), where he survived two helicopter crashes and was a member of the Team that assisted in the sea recovery of NASA’s Apollo 11. He was a decorated veteran.

After his military service he moved to Coronado where he made enough money in Real Estate to afford beachfront property. He didn’t exactly fit into the khaki clad population with his baggy shorts, sockless topsiders and big belly peeking through the buttons of an untucked shirt, but trust me, his haphazard demeanor was merely a cloaking device.

In nearly 10 years of studying Greg, I assure you, he didn’t miss a beat. He was sharp, knew how to manage people, and was generous to his staff. Not only did he offer medical insurance to employees at a time when it was unheard of, he rewarded hard work by carting the staff off to the horse races at Del Mar and to Padre games every summer. At Christmas, he threw us a huge party in the pub. His generosity was unparalleled, but it was his read on people that impressed me most.

McP’s Irish Pub sits at the southwestern end of Coronado Island, just a mile east of the Navy SEAL training base and three miles west of the Naval Air Station. A testosterone saturated community, the bar scene on Coronado could get pretty intense.

Greg’s man-at-the-bar style of management worked for two reasons: One was his accessibility to guests and employees; the other, his hands-off style of management. He saw everything that was going on and I only recall one time in nine years when he actually rose from his bar stool to tell me what to do.

Pam Woolway During a busy lunch rush, three Navy SEALs sat down to order.

When I said I’d be with them in a moment, one responded, “Take my order now b****.”

Before sassing a busy waitress, a wise man would have made sure her hands were empty. The five-inch stack of plastic menus flew from my hand across the table to catch him square in the chest. Using the vocabulary of a sailor’s daughter, I told him he should consider eating elsewhere, and stormed into the kitchen.

A few minutes passed before Greg sauntered through the swinging door. Never one to rush or raise his voice, he said, “Hey Pam, will you come into the dining room? There’s someone who’d like to make an apology.”

These are the stories my retired sailor of a father loved–of me busting chops on cocky sailors. He was a terrible influence that way. But what girl, young or old, doesn’t live to hear her father laugh? I knew he took great pride in raising daughters who could hold their ground, and I think Greg McPartlin was in the same camp.

Dad used to ride his bike 20 miles to visit me at the pub, where I’d serve him a Rueben and a Guinness, and if he was lucky, a tall tale where I always came out victor.

The New Kaua‘i Movie Book

by Chris Cook The New Kaua‘i Movie Book documents filmmakers’ almost century-long love affair with Kaua‘i using rare movie stills of casts, crews and sets. It includes practically every major Hollywood movie filmed on the island, along with the breathtaking imagery of their locations by the late Kaua‘i-based landscape photographer, David Boynton.

The new edition of The Kaua‘i Movie Book picks up where the first edition left off with a 36-page update of major films made in the last 17 years, including the Academy Award-winning George Clooney film The Descendants, Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean—On Stranger Tides, Kaua‘i shark attack victim Bethany Hamilton’s biopic Soul Surfer, and part-time Kaua‘i resident Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder.

The New Kaua‘i Movie Book includes a drive guide map of feature films made on Kaua‘i so readers can trace the locations where films were made; a list of all major movies made on Kaua‘i; a concise history of Kaua‘i surfing films; Japanese film production; and Kaua‘i-made movies available in DVD and download.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Wilcox Health Foundation.

Chris Cook is the author of many books about Kaua‘i and is working on a project about Hawai‘i’s past for a national audience.

Be a Light for Peace: Veteran Helps Veterans

Vietnam Veteran, Edward Kawamura Has Served Kaua‘i Veterans Since 1978

by Pam Woolway Forklifts, trucks and the occasional golden retriever intersect the warehouse, sheds and stacked bags of feed bordering the Kawamura Farms compound on Wehe Road in Lihue. The 50-year power equipment business bustles, as three generations of family rush to keep customers moving. Amid the flow of traffic, there’s one individual on cruise control; his work is one of a more subtle definition, as he knits the commotion together with friendly quips and teasing.

Edward Kawamura Sr. expanded the business his father began when he returned to Kaua‘i in 1978 from 20 years of military service.

“I won’t retire, I’ll expire,” he jokes. “Just like my father.”

Whether bent over a chain saw or refilling fuel on a mower, he’ll make time to chat with customers as they enter, and usually the ribbing begins with water. Kawamura attributes his vitality and that of his 91 year-old mother to purified water.

“Water’s the cash flow to your body,” he informs a gentleman there to buy a bale of hay.

“You wouldn’t run your car without enough water in the radiator would you?”

Purifying body and soul is foremost in this active Vietnam veteran’s mind. For Kawamura, a life of service is a life of generosity, and when he’s not advocating water consumption, he’s promoting volunteerism.

“You are here for the sake of others,” said the Shinnyo-en Buddhist, a Buddhist order based on the Nirvana Sutra, emphasizing that all people can reach enlightenment by acting with compassion and concern for others.

Kawamura’s life reflects this commitment.

Husband, father, grandfather, businessman and spiritual seeker, he wears many hats – but none more proudly than that of Vietnam War veteran.

“I represent nothing,” he said, dismissing all credit.

Pointing to the American flag painted across the side of the Disabled American Veteran’s vehicle he drives, he continued: “That’s what we stand for.”

He can usually be found at Kawamura Farms,

and when he’s not, he’s advocating for veterans around the island and the country. For the past 10 years he’s been shuttling disabled veterans to doctor’s appointments island-wide in the patriotically painted SUV. “My wife tells me I’m married to the veterans first and her, second,” he chuckles.

Kawamura enlisted in the United States Army in 1958, serving one tour in Vietnam.

“Ours wasn’t a famous war,” he said.

“When I returned home in 1978 I wanted to do my part; to show that we (veterans) are not the bad guys. Good guys came home from that war. These are people who made a commitment to duty, honor and country.”

Devout in his commitment to veterans and their families, Kawamura returned to Kaua‘i with his wife—whom he met while stationed in Germany—and has been in Bernard Gosset service to raising awareness of the plight Three generations work together at Kawamura Farms in Lihu‘e: of veterans ever since. Both World War II Daniel, Karen, Lilli and Edward Sr. Kneeling are Eddie Jr. and Matthew. and the Vietnam War played a role in his Ever the proponent for volunteerism, motivation to educate the non-serving Kawamura encourages Kaua‘i residents to “go public.

After World War II we gotta do our little part.” wanted to follow in the footsteps of those who “We are all farmers in our own way,” he continued. “We carry the seeds in us. It’s up to us to served before us.”

Meet Local Designer of Chez Chanterelle

Advertorial

Prof. Croft, Dr. Schaeffer Professor Lee Croft introduced the illustration of King Kaumuali‘i to For Kaua‘i Magazine in 2012.

This started unfolding and reorganization of the Friends of King Kaumual‘i, established in 2004, with Aletha Kaohi, President.

by Pam Woolway

First impressions can be correct: The fragrant and wildly floral landscape; the butterfly pavers winding up the path; the archway at the entrance inscribed with the quote, “All you see here belongs to sacred oneness.” All of it alludes to the sensuous, gentle and colorful world of clothing designer, Chanterelle Chantara, daughter of Shosanah and Neal Chantara.

This willowy sprite of a 21 year-old has been developing her lush clothing line out of the family home in Kilauea for nearly 10 years – and in the last four, providing two Kaua‘i retailers with her designs: Cake Nouveau, Kilauea and Island Hemp and Cotton, Kapa‘a.

“The whole family pitched in to buy her first sewing machine when she was 7,” said mom and business partner, Shosanah.

Shosanah homeschooled her three children, two who’ve graduated and all of whom are artists: Eldest son, Tor, is an award-winning marquetry wood

“I design for every body type. I listen to what women tell me they want to hide or accentuate. This is how my line grew, through listening.”

– Chanterelle Chantara, clothing designer worker and her youngest, Beorn, 17, is a musician, who was recently awarded the Kaua‘i Berklee scholarship to the Berklee College of Music Summer program.

Shosanah attributes the success of her children to an approach to education she calls, “unschooling.”

“Instead of a curriculum, you trust that what the kids are passionate about will lead them,” she said. “As a parent it’s about trusting that and nurturing it.”

In Chanterelle’s case, her affair with textiles began at the age of 3 when she began choosing her mom’s outfits. By the time she was 6, the family had moved to Kaua‘i, where Chanterelle began making fairy dolls. When at 8 she

informed her teacher, Tammy Day, she’d like to make a 19th Century ball gown, no one discouraged it as too ambitious.

“She never made me feel I couldn’t do it,” recalled Chanterelle. “I never felt I couldn’t do anything.”

Chanterelle assisted in the creation of the three-tier hoop skirt and petticoats with corsets, crinoline and netting. The youngster went on to make many dresses inspired by her love of Laura Ingles Wilder, and wore them all.

“That’s the confidence of not being squashed,” added Shosanah.

Chanterelle’s line has blossomed into the realm of playful and sexy; many of see Beautiful page 25

Prof. Lee B. Croft taught Russian Studies and administered foreign language programs at Arizona State University for 40 years. This background gave him valuable research advantages in his writing of three biographical books about Dr. George Anton Schaeffer (17791836), the man who designed and directed the construction of Kauai’s “Russian Fort.”

The art of Prof. Croft’s book includes significant illustrations by Hawaiian historical artist BROOK KAPUKUNIAHI PARKER. One of these illustrations is the first thoroughly researched full-color portrait of Kaumuali‘i, the portrait thatw appeared on the September, 2013, issue of For Kaua‘i. That is why both Prof. Lee B. Croft and Artist Brook Kapukuniahi Parker are participants in this year’s “2013— Year of King Kaumuali‘i” festivities.

Prof. Croft’s 3rd edition represents 25 years of research on the life of Dr. George Anton Schaeffer.

This is a must read for history buffs and residents alike.

The Kaua‘i Historical Society Wants You — To celebrate its Centennial in a Festival of Culture and History.

Festivities start in January 2014 and a grand celebration will be on May 10 on the lawn of the Historic County Building. Watch for details throughout 2014.

Get Your Pack to a Park: Two New Dog Parks Open This Month

by Kate Brenton They are our forever companions with wagging tails and slobbering tongues; our canine special somebodies give us their devoted attention and ask for little in return, but everyone needs a good romp once and awhile and Kaua‘i’s canines are getting two new gorgeous locations to do just that.

Along with the dog park in Puhi, Wailua Homesteads Park will be unveiling a dog park, and North Shore is also in the process of sharing in the furry frolicking with a new park on the Wai Koa Plantation. Each park plans on opening in November this year for use; each hosting a grand opening party at the end of the month. Both new facilities will have accommodations for large and small dogs to have perfectly sized fun.

“A tired dog is a well behaved dog, “ smiles Ellen Carscadden, dog trainer of Akamai Pet Services, with five pooches of her own.

These dog parks easily exercise the minds and bodies of our four-leggeds in ways that a human led stroll just can’t recreate. Dogs need to be stimulated by new sights and situations, just like us. And the payoffs, aside from the joyful bonding of pet and owner are worth it.

“If visits to the dog parks are done right, there will be a cascade of benefits: less barking, less escaping, less line running. These are all signs of bored dogs,” Carscadden explains.

“This is great for our community and our dogs,” Deb Alper, dog lover and former vet tech said. “This means more exercise for our dogs and ourselves. Some dogs don’t like to walk on the bike path, and some dogs shouldn’t. Such as older dogs with joint pain, or young puppies, the impact of the concrete is not ideal for their forming joints, either. “

FIT

The biggest problem on island that these parks can solve, both experts agree, is the lack of socialization with many dogs. “Once dogs learn how to interact with each other, a lot of issues just fall away,” Alper teaches. “But, they need to learn how. They are pack animals of course, but in the busy lives of owners we can forget just how important having dogs with other dogs can be.”

“It’s like taking your kids to the playground,” Carscadden expands. “Kids need to be around other kids; dogs need to be around other dogs, and we all have to be akamai about the dog parks: police ourselves, clean up after ourselves, do right by each other and this is going to be great.”

Some simple rules of etiquette include not leaving your dog alone in the park, watching your dog closely to be sure that he/she is acclimating to the party, and allowing other owners the same courtesy to be watchful of their pets. If you see something that needs to be picked up, it won’t hurt to play your part and keep the parks clean. Be mindful if the park is already over-filled, maybe there is a better time to come, and don’t bring puppies under four months of age because they won’t have all their shots yet.

It appears that if we follow the lead of our tails, to be ready to play, to be considerate of others, and to welcome everyone, these new dog parks have the making of creating packs full of aloha.

Start Some Healthy Holiday Traditions

Advertorial

The holidays can produce extra stress, a breakdown in healthy eating habits, even depression. But you and your family can adopt some new traditions that may help relieve the season’s stress and make your holidays healthy and happy.

Awarded for care.

Recognized for quality.

But the real reward is a healthy you.

Your physical health When the holidays become more than you bargained for, your physical health can be compromised because you may put aside healthy habits. And stress can put additional demands on your body. Here are some tips on maintaining your health during the holiday season: Don’t do too much. Give yourself some time to relax.

Share the workload. Let everyone play an active role; make the holidays a family affair so you’re not burdened with all the work.

Establish priorities. You can’t do everything; say no to some demands on your time.

Simplify your life. Be less elaborate this year. Relax your housekeeping and holiday preparations.

Continue to exercise. Don’t let your regular regimen lapse.

Eat healthy foods. Limit your consumption of high-fat holiday treats. Serve healthy fare at your family›s holiday party.

It’s easy to become overwrought this time of year, especially if you believe something is lacking in your holiday celebration. Here are some ways to create new holiday traditions that will help level your emotions: Ask yourself if you really enjoy all the rituals. Perhaps they have merely become habits. Try adopting less elaborate traditions of holidays past.

Don’t be afraid to scale down gift giving. You’ll probably receive a lot of support.

If your annual party is too much to handle, postpone it until after the holidays. This will give you more time to prepare and will help alleviate postholiday letdown by giving you something fun to anticipate.

If you are unable to be with your family, get out around people. Plan to be with friends or volunteer to help others who also may be separated from their families.

Children are especially vulnerable to commercial stimuli during the holiday season.

But basically, all kids really need are realistic expectations about gifts, an even-paced holiday season and strong, loving family traditions. Here are some ways to make the holidays special for your children: Spend more time with your kids. Entertain less and attend fewer parties that exclude children.

Watch less television and do more activities as a family.

Include your kids in all preparations. Let your children help you decorate and bake, even if it means your creations aren’t perfect.

Teach children the meaning of giving. Adopt a needy family and have your youngsters help you prepare a meal for them. Suggest that your children buy a gift for an underprivileged child with their own money. Or ask them to donate one of their own gifts to a less fortunate child.

Teach your children that gifts don’t have to be tangible. Trade intangible gifts with each other, such as helping with homework, washing the dishes, and polishing shoes. Let your children come up with their own ideas of what they can offer.

When Kauai’s families are healthy and happy, we’ve done our job. We’re proud to serve the community with national recognition that includes being ranked amoung the top 15% in the country for Outstanding Patient Experience. To learn more, visit wilcoxhealth.org.

Find Ways to Buy Kaua‘i Grown this Thanksgiving There is no better time to feast on Kauai’s bounty of farm fresh products, than the holidays—starting with Thanksgiving. Here are some ways to incorporate local farm products into your family celebration: 1. Shop our local Farmers Markets to discover new and seasonal products Want to know what’s fresh and in season? Visit a farmers market. While some ingredients traditional to the holidays are not easily obtained locally, you’d be surprised how many are grown and raised just a few miles away.

Depending on which market you visit, you can come away with all kinds of ingredients for your holiday feast plus a recipe or two, flowers for the table, hospitality gifts, and even some prepared

Page 12

food items to enjoy. These are great places to discover new and seasonal products—all while supporting Kaua‘i ’s farmers.

If you haven’t considered yourself a “farmers market” person, this is a great time to start! Over the last several years, farmers markets in the US have been growing in popularity, and Kaua‘i is no exception. You can now find a farmers market here on Kaua‘i almost every day of the week.

2. Read labels and look for what is Kaua‘i Grown in the grocery store Many retailers on island carry some local products on their shelves­—the key is to know where to find them. A’akukui Ranch beef, Kaneshiro pork, Hanalei Juice & Taro products, Kaua‘i Shrimp, Kunana Dairy Goat cheese, Kaua‘i Eggs are avail-

able in some stores—they are often snapped up soon after being delivered. Some stores have local products or Kaua‘i Made sections for dry goods like Kaua‘i Coffee and Nana’s Bananas.

Produce can be particularly tricky to identify, but with labels now from farms like Kaua‘i Fresh Farms, Kailani Farms and Rainbow Sprouts it is getting easier. Ask your retailer what’s fresh and local. Kaua‘i Grown signage makes it easier in some retailers such as Living Foods Café & Market, Ishihara’s, Sueoka Store, and Papaya’s.

3. Use Kauai Grown.org as a resource for locally grown products, dining & experiences KauaiGrown.org features a database with photos and videos showcasing farmers and ranchers from around the island, what they raise, and where their products are carried including both

Ingredients such as kabocha pumpkin, breadfruit, longbeans and kale can add a festive local touch to holiday sides. For dessert, try Kaua‘i Grown tropical fruits & citrus varieties, vanilla, honey, macnuts and Nani Moon Mead. Try holiday recipes on the website, and submit your favorites.

farmers markets and retailers. Some products like Tropical Flowers Express can be ordered online.

This is a growing resource with over 45 participants thus far and is an emerging “go to” site for local farm products and experiences.

Guy and Ray Ishihara support farmers and ranchers on Kaua‘i. Bringing fresh produce, A‘akukui grass fed beef, Kaneshiro Pork and Kauai‘i grown Shrimp to their store. Mahalo to Guy and Ray for being an outstanding Kaua‘i Grown Grocer in Waimea.

The site also identifies restaurants and chefs committed to local ingredients, experiences such as Tasting Kaua‘i and local events spotlighting Kaua‘i Grown. This month, check out the Garden Island Range & Food Festival on November 17. This is a great time for all of us to give thanks for the bounty of farm products locally available, and support these farmers, chefs and retailers with our purchases.

Island Activities

Pam Woolway Favorite artist: Amy Vieira sells originals and prints of her paintings at 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays at Hanalei Farmer’s Market. Her work has a folk art whimsy that is good for a smile.

Much of what she paints is playful island life with lots of animal representations. She also hand-dyes silk scarves that are delicious to wear. See more of her work at artwanted.com or visit her on Facebook.

Favorite jewelry vendor: Kaua‘i Coconut Fiber Art has jewelry made by Tahitian artisan, Heifara Aiamu. The tribal designs stir a Tahitian fire in me for dance, music and fellowship. It’s something different for Kaua‘i, with woven coconut, pearls and gems. Heifara sells his wares at Hanapepe Art Walk every Friday evening. You can find his table down the alley behind Little Fish Coffee. He sells at different events island-wide. For more information call 635-5570.

Tiana Amo Favorite bathing suit shop: Sweet Bikini has two shops, one in Kapa‘a and the other in Po‘ipu. It’s my easy fix for a new bikini. Here in the tropics the sun’s wear and tear on my favorite suit always gives me an excuse to add another to my collection. They carry trendy, colorful and unique styles. Sweet Bikini is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Sunday. You can check out the goods at sweetbikinikauai.com. Or call for more information: Kapa‘a, 822-0780; Po‘ipu, 742-3003.

Tiana Amo Favorite local kind grinds: Garden Isle BBQ in Lihu‘e is an island institution where my family and I have eaten since I was a kid. It’s very easy to crave a warm delicious meal at the end of a long workweek. Their Asian flavors steaming down the aisles are irresistible.

My favorite plate is the mixed vegetable with straw mushroom. After that it’s a good night. They are at 4252 Rice St. Or call 245-8868 to order takeout.

WHAT THE SOLAR GUYS MAY NOT TELL YOU Not everyone needs a $25,000 solar photovoltaic system.

Installing a solar water heater is the cheapest, easiest way for most Kaua‘i households to save at least 40 percent on their electric bill.

Water heaters use more electricity than any other appliance. Using the sun to heat water can save you around $80 to $100 a month, maybe more, depending on the size of your family.

Right now, KIUC is offering a $1,000 rebate toward the purchase and installation of a solar water heater. With the rebate and state and federal tax credits, your final cost could be less than $2,000.

So do the math yourself and see how much money you can save just by using a solar water heater.

Unless you’re in a big rush to spend $25,000.

Call 246-4300 or go to www.kiuc.coop for a list of approved contractors and information about how you can start saving.

Beautiful from page 9

her dresses seem made for twirling on the dance floor.

They range from light summer dresses, tops and pants, to full-length gowns and wedding dresses. She refers to her technique as “stretch sewing” because most of her fabrics are in jersey using natural fibers such as bamboo, hemp, beech wood modal and eucalyptus, among others.

“It flows with the body and changes with every body type. It lies like a second skin on the body,” she said.

Once she discovered the attributes of knit fabrics there was no looking back.

“My dream is to make every woman feel beautiful,” she said. “What we see in magazines, there’s no naturalness about it – bodies are Photoshopped. Authentic beauty is what’s beautiful.”

It was at her first fashion show in 2009 at the Healing

Gardens in Kilohana where Chanterelle realized the plight of women in regard to selfperceived beauty.

“Hardly any of the women modeling for me felt beautiful. It’s sad just how deep the wounds go.”

At a September fashion show, 43 designs were modeled and 53 outfits in all.

“Many of the designs I did in different colors on different sizes and shapes of women, so people could see how adaptable they were,” she said. “I design for every body type. I listen to what women tell me they want to hide or accentuate. This is how my line grew, through listening.”

Chanterelle’s dream is two-fold. Second to restoring women’s confidence is to keep all of her operation on Kaua‘i.

She’s had offers to outsource work but declined.

“I will always be here on Kaua‘i, and my designs will be made by people here,” she said.

This vibrant young woman heartily attributes her success to the unity of her family.

“I can do this because the whole family makes it work.

We all have a different skill set so we all work together,” she said.

Her father, Neal, is the carpenter who built her studio in the family home. Her big brother, Tor, designed her website (chezchanterelle. com), labels and business cards; and her mother is her right arm when it comes to research and resourcing.

“We keep trying to come up with a job title for mom but it gets too long,” she laughed. “Today her title is The Factoid.”

When observers comment on the workload involved in running a house, homeschooling, gardening and assisting with her daughter’s business, Shosanah lights up.

“People say, ‘so much work,’ but I think, ‘so much fun!’” she said.

Fun and work intertwine, just as organically as the botanicals bursting with color on this piece of land where nothing feels forced; as if it were a canvas made precisely for artful purpose.

Visitors exit the property the way they came in—crossing the foot bridge over the pond to follow the butterfly path. One can’t help but linger before passing beneath the arch—on the back of which is carved, “Be love.”

Visit chezchanterelle.com to see her latest designs.

Learning Curve

by Lois Ann Ell I sat in my yard with scissors, surrounded by a sea of green foliage. Piles of ti leaf and laua‘e fern were in heaps, where I was in hour two of cutting the leaves in half, then some in strips, some in diamond shapes. I tried to decipher amounts of leaves Lois Ann Ell needed for two wrists, two ankles, and two heads, and six hip-length lei. Like a song I couldn’t recall the words to, I struggled to remember the instructions for the weaving: pinch, add in, fold under, pull over, and repeat? I stopped counting how many leaves I had cut. Perhaps it was too much; perhaps too little. I wasn’t sure. This is my twin daughters’ first year in hula.

While I remained cutting into hour three, my girls were a few yards away bouncing buoyantly on the trampoline. They are too young to help. I did try to include them at first, as it was their Ho’ike I was preparing for, but when they cut jagged triangles of what are supposed to be diamond shapes, I smiled and dismissed their help. It’s one of those many tasks with young children, where, in theory, it would be an opportunity for a bonding and learning experience, but in reality easier and more efficient if they were not involved.

Nothing was easy or efficient about this for me. I still have a hard time braiding my own hair, so using live plants to create incredibly fluffy, tightly woven, gorgeous braided pieces is a stressful situation.

The fine motor skill tasks, like sewing, nail painting, and beading, have never been a breeze, but rather bring on a back ache, sore eyes, and a reminder how large my fingers are. I would much rather speak in front of an audience, cook for 50 people, type up a research paper, or do some other task most find daunting.

After an hour of trying to braid one small wrist kupe‘e, my softened leaves were worked and reworked so many times they started to fall apart, and the oils from the plant became sticky and wet on my hands. My cut leaves began breaking in half and falling to the floor like giant green snowflakes scattering on the ground. It was time to do the other thing I fear as much as fine motor skill tasks: ask for help.

Here’s the fortunate thing that happens when you do ask for help though: you find out how supportive and willing people are, and in this case, how crafty and talented as well. The night before the performance, I sat with my friend and my mother and we tackled those piles until they were complete. While kids played around us, we sat in a circle, our feet propped up on the table with green knots slung between our toes, and we made all 16 pieces my daughters needed for the next day. After watching their method of braiding, I got a little better, a little faster. It became fun, suddenly. I started to get it.

I had to. For my daughters to show up as their best, it meant I had to show up as my best too. That’s one of the many gifts I am learning about hula; it’s a practice where you strive for excellence.

To Market To Market: Jiggety Jig

by Jan TenBruggencate If you’re on a diet of burger and fries, or spam and rice, or even a steak and potatoes—your doctor will tell you that’s got to change.

There are detailed guides on how to eat healthy, and we’ll review a few of them here, but one takeaway is that if you’re at one of the excellent farmer’s markets on Kaua‘i and see something you’ve never seen before, ask about it, buy it, and try it. If a restaurant offers a condiment you’ve never tried, order it.

Chances are it will be a fruit or vegetable, and all the latest evidence is that virtually nobody eats enough of them, or enough different ones.

There’s mounting evidence of the importance of browsing as opposed to grazing. Browsing is munching a little of this, a little of that. Grazing—the word comes from the same root as grass—is about focusing on one thing.

Even the outdated Food Pyramid many of us learned in school had some diversity: Every day, eat some grains, some veggies, some fruits, milk products, meat and beans.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2005 updated the pyramid. Now they call it MyPyramid. Make some of the grains whole grains, eat veggies but vary your veggies and make more of them dark green and orange, eat fruits any way you can but not so much juice, think nut and vegetable oils more than butter and margarine, for dairy think low-fat, and in the meats and beans category add fish, nuts, poultry and eggs to the mix.

Another change in 2011 brought about USDA’s MyPlate, among whose recommendations were to make fruits and vegetables half your intake, and keep meat lean.

Last year, Harvard’s School of Public Health released its own nutritional guide, the Healthy Eating Plate. Why? Because they felt that the USDA had blended a little too much corporate agriculture into its nutritional advice.

“MyPlate mixes science with the influence of powerful agricultural interests, which is not the recipe for healthy eating,” said Harvard Department of Nutrition chair.

The Harvard plate calls for browsing.

It’s a recipe for diversity. You can find out about it by searching for Harvard Healthy Eating Plate. Here are some outtakes.

Vegetables in large amounts and great variety; a rainbow of fruits daily; not refined but whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat, oats); olive and canola Pam Woolway and other plant oils in cooking and salad dressing; and not so much dairy; drink water, and lightly or unsweetened tea and cof- apple a day is not sufficient, and six apples a day fee, and limit yourself to a glass or two of milk, doesn’t do it, either. and even less juice.
