ohn Mayall, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;godfather of British blues,â&#x20AC;? wraps up a four-night Hawaiian tour Sunday with a performance on Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i. Over his illustrious 50-plus year career in music, Mayall has lost count of how many times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made it out to the Islands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all just a blur,â&#x20AC;? he said over the phone last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep coming back regularly.â&#x20AC;? Presented by Lazar Bear, The British Blues Explosion tour features Mayall with his band of the last five years, along with a special acoustic set by Kim Simmonds, founder and guitarist of Savoy Brown. Simmonds will also join Mayall during his set. The Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i performance begins at 6 p.m. at the Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Community College Performing Arts Center in Puhi. Mayall, the legendary singer-songwriter-guitaristkeyboardist, is best known as the founder of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in the 1960s, which over the years featured some names you may have heard of â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, Jack Bruce and
Mick Taylor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever worked with me were chosen by me because of what they brought to the table,â&#x20AC;? Mayall said. His comment should shine some light on what Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i fans have in store for them Sunday. Mayallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band, formed in 2008, features Texas guitar wizard Rocky Athas, Greg Rzab on bass and Jay Davenport on drums. Mayall said the group has â&#x20AC;&#x153;proved to be the most excitingâ&#x20AC;? thus far and that Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audience can expect a mixed plate of old and new music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way we play is extraordinary,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really exciting so far, and very encouraging that people have responded to my interpretation of blues and jazz.â&#x20AC;? Nearing age 80, Mayall hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed a beat. He continues to perform upwards of 100 shows a year and has concerts scheduled later this summer in Brazil, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and the Czech Republic.
Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day 9>7= <0H0;; The British Blues Explosion tour, featuring John Mayall and Kim Simmonds, begins at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Community College Performing Arts Center in Puhi. Tickets start at $40 per person.

Just as he has since 1956, Mayall continues to find pleasure in performing for his loyal fan base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to play anywhere where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an audience,â&#x20AC;? he said. For now, Mayallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sights are set on Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i, with four concerts on four islands in four days. He said he is looking forward to the trip, although â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never much time to hang out and enjoy the weather.â&#x20AC;? Tickets for the event cost $40 in advance, $55 for premium seating and can be purchased at select island retailers, including Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Music & Sound (Kapaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a), Papayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural Foods (Kapaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a), Healthy Hut Natural Foods (Kilauea), Hanalei Strings & Things, Progressive Expressions (Koloa) and Scottyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Music (Kalaheo).

Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library is located at 1571 Poâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ipu Road in Poâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ipu. They are open daily, 6 p.m. to midnight. 742-1234. ALDEN ALAYVILLA SPECIAL TO TGI FRIDAY
F
eeling adventurous? You should head on over and explore Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library in the Grand Hyatt Resort in Poâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ipu. Named after novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, the restaurant offers a casual and intimate dining experience. Spectacular sunset views that compliment the outdoor dining setting is just as impressive as the interior â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which showcases wall after wall of shelves lined with books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have books all over,â&#x20AC;? said Assistant Beverage Manager Even Pritchard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The owners love Robert Louis Stevenson and books, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we got a library.â&#x20AC;? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anything better than enjoying a light dinner with a book. And at Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library, you can have just that. I was invited by Diann Hartman of the Grand Hyatt to visit Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library on Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sushi night. Each Friday through Monday, Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library hosts sushi night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do it from 6 to 9 p.m. and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always dif-
ferent,â&#x20AC;? Pritchard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chefs do a different special every night. Our two sushi chefs use their creativity and they come up with things that guest are always happy about.â&#x20AC;? With summer approaching, Pritchard plans to possibly serve sushi on a nightly basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sushi nights are really good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hit,â&#x20AC;? Pritchard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to do it seven days because everyone loves the sushi. During the summer we might extend it to 9:30 or 10 p.m.â&#x20AC;? The chefs at Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library went all out and presented four onolicious dishes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Rainbow Roll, the Dragon Roll, a Trio of Sliders and the Prosciutto Wrapped MahiMahi Satay. The Rainbow Roll is priced at $24 and is a blend of crab mix and cucumber topped with tuna, hamachi, salmon and avocado. This is definitely a rainbow of combinations. The three different types of fish â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tuna, hamachi and salmon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a must for any fish connoisseur.
Top: The Trio of Sliders, $18, consist of lilikoi barbecue pork, beef with harissa aioli and crab cake served with a spicy Asian slaw and pickles. Above: The Rainbow Roll, $24, consists of crab and cucumber topped with tuna, hamachi, salmon and avocado.

I Top: The Prosciutto Wrapped Mahi-Mahi Satay, $14, is served with three pieces of skewered mahi-mahi served with avocado-mango salsa, cantaloupe and Hawaiian pepper sauce. Below: The Dragon Roll, $18, is a combination of spicy tuna, eel, avocado, cucumber, unagi sauce and sesame seed. The avocado and the crab gives this roll a balanced texture, while satisfying oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunger. If you prefer sushi with some zest, then you should give the Dragon Roll a try. Priced at $18, the Dragon Roll is a combination of spicy tuna, eel, avocado, cucumber, unagi sauce and sesame seed. Eel, at first thought, might not sound appetizing, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the tastiest ingredients in sushi. As much as I love the Rainbow Roll, my heart will always belong to sushi with eel and unagi sauce. Sliders are making their way to all eateries all over the world, and at Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library, you get a trio of them. The Trio of Sliders are marked at $18. The three sliders mentioned are lilikoi barbecue pork, beef with harissa aioli and crab cake served spicy Asian slaw and pickles. These sliders appear small, but combined they pack a hearty, delicious punch. The final dish presented was the Prosciutto Wrapped Mahi-Mahi Satay that sells for $14. This dish is
served with three pieces of skewered MahiMahi served with avocado-mango salsa, cantaloupe and Hawaiian pepper sauce. This dish did it for me. What really intrigued me was the avocadomango salsa. Along with the Hawaiian pepper sauce, it was the right amount of flavor with the right amount of spice. Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library is the place to be if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for good food, good atmosphere, a friendly staff and an assortment at books at your disposal. Next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adventuring on the South Shore, visit Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library.
f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been to Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library, then you would know that they have a diverse collection of drinks and handcrafted cocktails. You name it and Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library probably has it. Featured are Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hawaiian antioxidant and hydrating coolers, premium sake and its signature cocktails. This is just a small sample of what Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library can offer patrons. When you stop on by and see for yourself what they have, you may have as hard a time as me to figure out what you want to order. Kona Ginger Fresh Meet the Kona Ginger Fresh. Like all of the Hawaiian antioxidant and hydrating coolers, this drink sells for $12. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a refreshing blend of Ocean Vodka, ginger liqueur, Kona Red Antioxidant, fresh-squeezed lemon and coconut water. This cooler is just perfect for the hot, dog days of summer. The ginger liqueur, freshsqueezed lemon and coconut water are the dominant flavors of this drink. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in the mood for something sweet, this is definitely the cocktail for you. Chilled Sake Sampler You need to have sake with sushi. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unwritten rule. Wet your lips with the Chilled Sake Sample, $18, a trio of sake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Asian Pear, Wandering Poet and Dreamy Clouds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that will go hand-in-hand with your sushi. Asian

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS DAVID GERMAIN
ÂźBC0A CA4: 8=C> 30A:=4BB½ â&#x20AC;&#x153;S
tar Trek Into Darknessâ&#x20AC;? is like fan-boy fiction on a $185 million budget. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reverential, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faithful, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steeped in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trekâ&#x20AC;? mythology. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an excessively derivative what-if rehash of themes and interactions that came before, most of the characters lesser copies and even caricatures of the originals. The scenarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hijacked and rejiggered from better â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trekâ&#x20AC;? plots of decades ago, the best verbal exchanges lifted nearly verbatim from past adventures. In short, the new chiefs of Starfleet arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coming up with much to call their own. They pile on the spectacle in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been seen before in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trek,â&#x20AC;? whose old big-screen incarnations were so notoriously underfunded they had to go back and borrow props, miniatures and visual effects from previous installments. The action in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into Darknessâ&#x20AC;? is top-notch, the visuals grand, though the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needless conversion to 3-D muddies the images. But the heart is, well, halfhearted, as though the people of the 23rd century are there to mouth the standard logic-vs.-emotion, needsof-the-many-vs.-needs-of-the-few patter of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trekâ&#x20AC;? to count time before the next space battle or ray-gun shootout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into Darknessâ&#x20AC;? opens with a splashy action sequence to again show the cockiness of Capt. James Kirk (Chris Pine) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with his willingness to flaunt the rules â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the icy intellect of half-Vulcan First Officer Spock (Zachary Quinto), whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to sacrifice his life to stick to the Starfleet playbook. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear these two youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;uns donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play well together, but just as the space brass is about to split them up, Starfleet is hit by savage terrorist attacks by mysterious desperado John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch). Kirk, Spock and their Enterprise crew are dispatched to take Harrison out with weapons that could prove the mother of all drone strikes, maintaining the usual see-how-relevant-we-are conceit of
the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trekâ&#x20AC;? cosmos. But loyalties slip and shift as the Enterprise uncovers the strange history of Harrison and his connections to a hawkish Starfleet admiral (Peter Weller). Along the way, Spock hits some speed bumps in his romance with Zoe Saldanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful and brilliant Lt. Uhura, while Kirk meets Alice Eveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful and brilliant Dr. Carol Marcus (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wrath of Khanâ&#x20AC;? fans well know who she is and her importance to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trekâ&#x20AC;?). The rest of the gang keeps up their routines. Curmudgeonly Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban) gripes and moans, helmsman Sulu (John Cho) ably steers the ship, navigator Chekov (Anton Yelchin) does his precocious shtick and engineer Scott (Simon Pegg) works his technical miracles. Fine acting has rarely been a cornerstone of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trek,â&#x20AC;? but much of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into Darknessâ&#x20AC;? cast seems to have taken ham lessons from Shatner. Urban maintains the same grouchy, stick-up-hisbutt expression throughout, while Chekov with his almost incomprehensible Russian accent and Pegg with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrekâ&#x20AC;?-thick Scottish brogue become downright cartoonish. Though they squabble like bratty teens early on, Pine and Quinto eventually show sparks of the Kirk-Spock fraternal love at the core of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trek.â&#x20AC;? The big find here is Cumberbatch, who joins Ricardo Montalban, Christopher Plummer and Alice Krige in a fairly limited roster of great â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trekâ&#x20AC;? villains. With his rumbling voice and stony stare, the star of Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detective update â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sherlockâ&#x20AC;? is fearsome and relentless, a one-man army who truly seems like more than a match for poor Enterprise, all on his own. As Director JJ Abrams moves on to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Wars,â&#x20AC;? it falls to some next-generation filmmaker to carry on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trekâ&#x20AC;? should more sequels follow. Abrams hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really guided the franchise into deep space, but he leaves it in a good place for successors to tell some rip-roaring sci-fi stories, without relying on reruns of old â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trekâ&#x20AC;? moments.

he Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Historical Society will celebrate Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lively 1940s and 1950s during its annual fundraiser
Saturday. The Paâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ina 2013 Fundraiser Banquet begins at 5:30 p.m. at the Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Beach Resort in Nukoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i. Headlining the evening will be Hawaiian-born singer Melveen Leed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a crowd pleaser,â&#x20AC;? KHS Director Mary Requilman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very down to earth and a wonderful singer.â&#x20AC;? Requilman said KHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual fundraiser has been ongoing since 1989, when Grace Guslander â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the former general manager of the Coco Palms Resort â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donated proceeds from her 80th birthday party to KHS. Later, she said the event â&#x20AC;&#x153;evolvedâ&#x20AC;? into what KHS calls the Royal Paâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We change the name every year,â&#x20AC;? Requilman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each takes on a different theme. We try to keep it related to Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.â&#x20AC;? Through songs and stories, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraiser will celebrate the lively 40s and 50s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the post-Depression years through World War II, to the new post-war society â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when people, businesses and island life went through many changes. At 5:30 p.m., the Jasmine Ballroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors will open for no-host cocktails, music by Darryl Gonzales and a silent auction featuring antiques and estate items, jewelry, boutique clothing, home accessories, rare books, golf and dining certificates and resort stays. Following a bountiful buffet of local cuisine by chefs at the Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Beach Resort, Emcee Maka Herrod will host the KTOH Radio Hour. Interviews will include Mike Ashman, Judge Bill Fernandez and Hobey Goodale. Ashman, the pioneering announcer at KTOH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the
islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first radio station â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i as it was in the 1940s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s,â&#x20AC;? a memoir which inspired KHS to combine stories and songs of those decades in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment will conclude with a performance by Leed, one of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest singers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since Melveen Leed began singing at church and family gatherings on Molokaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i, she has developed her repertoire and her distinctive style into a memorable career of concerts worldwide and produced an amazing library of recordings through the years,â&#x20AC;? a release states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drawing from her CD released in 2012, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I Wish You Love,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; plus songs from the 1940s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s, Melveen promises a lively program full of romantic ballads, jazz and country tunes.â&#x20AC;?

S
ounds of music and laughter filled the Puhi Theatrical Warehouse on Sunday as cast members from Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Community Players transported a packed house into the lives and thoughts of people from different walks of life in their sixth performance of the musical â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working.â&#x20AC;? The musical, which was directed by Ross Martineau, is based on Lois â&#x20AC;&#x153;Studsâ&#x20AC;? Terkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-selling 1974 non-fiction book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do.â&#x20AC;? Much like the book itself, which delves into the thoughts of people across the occupational spectrum from a parking valet to a business executive, Martineau said the musical provides an way for audience members to relate to the characters on stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would hope that people can see a little bit of themselves, their family and the people around them and come away a little bit of inspiration and respect for the unsung hero,â&#x20AC;? Martineau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Terkel) is not glorifying the doctors and lawyers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything wrong with that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but this is about the working man. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show about every man and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to share it with Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i.â&#x20AC;? But getting to this point, he said, has not been an easy one and has required about a year of preparation and rehearsals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a labor of love,â&#x20AC;? Director Ross Martineau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a community theater so no one gets paid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we all have second jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but we all just come together and try to put on a good show.â&#x20AC;? Many of the cast members, however, took the tasks in stride as they gathered together backstage in the theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small dressing room before the show began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During our last show, it just seemed like everything was clicking with that audience,â&#x20AC;? cast member Jeff Demma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just up there doing the show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there to connect with the audience.â&#x20AC;?
