T

hemes about the power of family bonds, love and survival are prevalent in an upcoming play about a Kauai outlaw cowboy named Koolau. The historically based show titled Legend Of Koolau, is set in the late 1800s during the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent about a year-and-a-half doing the research for this play,â&#x20AC;? said writer Gary Kubota who was born in Honolulu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Koolau and his family in 1893. authentic to the time, but for the dialogue I had to take a bit of creative license since nobody knows what Koolauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words were exactly during his struggle.â&#x20AC;?

Kubotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own history runs deep in Kauai. His father was born in Waimea, and his uncles made names for themselves, including his uncle Tommy Inouye, who has a Lihue street named after him, uncle Shigeomi, a former Kauai councilman, and uncle Akio, a former Kauai High School coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit serendipitous in that writing this play not only gave me a chance to reconnect with my family roots, but also share the story of Koolau, from his point of view,â&#x20AC;? said Kubota.

The setting for Koolauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fight is Kekaha, where he lived and fought to keep him and his son from being sent to a leper settlement at Kalaupapa called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Living Grave.â&#x20AC;? Koolau was not only a Hawaiian cowboy, he was the foreman on several area ranches and a hunter.

Moronai Kanekoa, who played Cesar in the T.V. soap opera â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the World Turns,â&#x20AC;? and the role of the helper in the short â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sleep Counselor,â&#x20AC;? will be playing the role of Koolau in the one-man production.

Kubota is training other actors for the role as part of a theater company he founded.

A recent graduate of the University of Southern California with a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in drama, Kubota sees value in seeing the production because it enables both Kauai residents and visitors alike to gain insight into a pivotal period in Hawaiian history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes people laugh and it makes them cry,â&#x20AC;? said Kubota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is an historical reckoning of what was happening to the Polynesian population and their decimation.â&#x20AC;?

Kubotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s additional talents include song and poetry writing, as well as years working as an award-winning news journalist and editor. He also produced two primetime Hawaii specials for public television.

Grant funds were awarded in 2013 from the National Performance Network (NPN) of New Orleans for the play. In 2011, a play reading at the Waimea Historic Theatre also became a spring board for its financial and creative development.

Kauai audiences will have an opportunity to watch the drama unfold this weekend at the Waimea Historic Theatre. Tickets are available by calling 349-2027 or 645-0996 or by visiting by www.legendofkoolau.com and www.waimeatheater.com.

Show times are 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Ticket prices for the Saturday show are $25 each and $20 each for the Sunday matinee. The Kamaaina price is $15 and students pay $8.

VIVIANE GILBERT STEIN SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

Dondero’s keeps it simply delicious

D

ondero’s wants to make excellent Italian food more accessible on Kauai.

After all, Chef de Cuisine Alexis Gutierrez has a clear vision of what he wants diners to experience: “Good food, good service, for hopefully not too much money and too much time doing it.”

To that end, the renowned restaurant with a 23-year history at the Grand Hyatt Kauai unveiled a new style and revamped menu earlier this month.

“One of the things that we saw, and heard, was that the look of the restaurant was intimidating to a lot of our guests,” explained manager Andres Alvarez. “We wanted to change

the atmosphere a little, make it more inviting for families.”

“We looked at everything,” Gutierrez said, from the entrance and seating process, to the layout of the menus.

Now, it’s all “streamlined, so we can hit ‘em with the good stuff,” he said with a laugh.

The elegant, muraled dining room, with huge ocean-view windows and an outdoor patio area, was not altered.

But the service is now described as “casual dining, bistro cafe style.” The servers are dressed like those at a trattoria in Italy — crisp dress shirts with the sleeves rolled up and a long apron — rather than the formal uniforms that Alvarez described as “stuffy, for

lack of a better word.”

More importantly, the menu has been arranged into traditional Italian groupings of antipasti, soup and salad, Neapolitan-style pizza, pastas and risotto, meats and fish, and side dishes. Some signature dishes remain, and classics are available upon request. But “we wanted to bring a solid, contemporary flavor to it,” Gutierrez said.

And the entire menu is now presented on a single tri-fold, rather than the multiple fancy menus of the past (The wine list still deserves its very own menu, however. This is an high-end Italian restaurant, after all).

The restaurant “always did these nice, composed plates before,” but

diners often exchanged the sides, Gutierrez explained.

So why not simplify it? Group the selections by type, and let people design their desired meal.

“It’s more about having fun with the menu,” Alvarez said.

Gutierrez’s goal for the new menu was “keeping it simple, keeping it delicious.”

That certainly summed up my recent dining experience there, as I was treated to a six-course series of small portions, chosen by the chef.

All were certainly Italian, but none were predictable.

As Gutierrez explained afterward, his dishes are “not the standard thing you’ll get anywhere else. What’s

unique to Dondero’s is completely different. You will not find (them) anywhere else.”

The first item Gutierrez sent out was the prosciutto bruschetta ($11). The crusty bruschetta was layered with creamy goat cheese and fig-black pepper jam and heaped with thinly sliced meat, for an earthy antipasto with a sweet note.

Next was the arugula salad ($10), which featured orange morsels, fennel, almonds and black olives. Spicy and fresh, it was loaded with ricotta salata, a salted and dried ricotta made

by Gutierrez, which gave every bite a sensational saltiness.

The Hamakua mushroom soup ($10) sounds humble but was, quite

simply, magnificent. One of many vegetarian and gluten-free items available, the peppery soup was full of tender slices of Hamakua mushrooms, grown on the Big Island, studded with crunchy porcini croutons and dolloped with white truffle cream.

The next offering also highlighted Hawaii-grown goodness: the Molokai sweet potato agnolotti ($22). The pasta pillows were dressed with sage brown butter, brightened by the sweetness of dried currants, the tang of goat cheese and the crunch of toasted macadamia nuts. Scattered across the top were dried sage leaves from the restaurant’s herb garden — a crystallized edible garnish that was intriguing as well as tasty.

But the crowning glory was the cioppino ($32). Rather than a stew, this was an artfully arranged plate of seafood delicacies. A juicy lobster tail perched atop a grouping of moist mahi mahi, a cluster of broth-laden clams and a beautifully grilled scallop. Crab morsels and basil pasta formed the bottom layer, while a rich tomato bouillabaisse, added just before serving, tied it all deliciously together.

The final touch was a gorgeous dessert: lilikoi braised pineapple crostata ($9). The warm, pineapple-laden pastry was topped with a mound of coconut sorbet, delicately flavored with lemongrass and ginger — just one of the several unique sorbet and gelato recipes Gutierrez has crafted for Dondero’s using fresh island ingredients and flavors.

The recent changes had an almost immediate effect. “It’s been a lot busier,” said Gutierrez, who has been chef at Dondero’s for 16 months. “It seems like this is something the people wanted. It’s exciting to see.”

Chef Alexis Gutierrez And many diners are eating family style, choosing selections from across the menu and sharing the dishes.

“You can see them enjoying their evening,” which is what it’s all about, said Alvarez, who moved from the Grand Hyatt’s other full-service restaurant, Tidepools, less than two months ago to oversee the redesign.

“Food is fun. They’re having fun with the experience.”

Dondero’s is located at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, 1571 Poipu Road, Koloa, and is open from 6-10 p.m., Thursday through Monday. For reservations, call 240-6456, or go to http://kauai.hyatt.com/en/hotel/dining/Donderos. Reservations can also be made at www. opentable.com.

hen looking for the signature drink at a fine Italian restaurant like Dondero’s, the limoncello martini is the natural choice.

After all, explained manager Andres Alvarez, limoncello is a traditional standard in Italy.

“It’s like the tequila for Mexico,” he said.

In an Italian trattoria, the two classic drinks are limoncello and grappa, Alvarez said. Of course, in Italy, the preferred drinking method for both is a shot.

“Which we also can do,” Alvarez was quick to assure me.

But the limoncello martini was an excellent option for the lemon liqueur, so perfect for hot weather and rich foods. Sweet and icy, it was a mouthful of sunshine. The bright citrus flavor blended smoothly with Grey Goose vodka, providing a pop probably as powerful as that straight shot would have been.

Fortunately, by taking only small sips, I managed to make it last throughout much of a long, Italian-length sampling of courses crafted

by Dondero’s Chef de Cuisine Alexis Guiterrez.

That was a wise strategic move. The martini was exceptionally potent, and I had to drive myself home afterward.

“It is strong,” Alvarez agreed.

“It’s a good drink to have either at the beginning, or at the very end.”

But ordering it at the beginning of the meal also provided the added benefit of allowing me to cleanse my palate between courses.

The tart, lemony spirit provided a refreshing oasis between the rich, savory dishes at Dondero’s.

The limoncello martini is $14.

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JAKE COYLE

‘monuments men’ a misstep for Clooney G

eorge Clooney, movie director, started out with so much promise.

He began with two stories about television’s power, both to distort reality (“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” about “Gong Show” host Chuck Barris) and to reveal it (“Good Night, and Good Luck,” about Edward R. Murrow). Neither was perfect, but the films showed tremendous potential, particularly the latter, with its thick clouds of paranoia and cigarette smoke.

But Clooney has gone somewhat astray, with the football comedy “Leatherheads,” the political thriller “The Ides of March” and now “The Monuments Men.” They’re not bad pictures, but nostalgia — made urgent in “Good Night” — suffocates the World War II caper “The Monuments Men” like it did the screwball ode “Leatherheads.”

Clooney’s taste is very good, and in adapting Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter’s book by the same title about the Allied forces’ pursuit of art masterpieces stolen by Nazis, he has chosen a fascinating historical tale that also bears the intriguing question: What’s the price we’re willing to pay for art?

But while a Michelangelo may be worth dying for, “The Monuments Men” is, at best, adequately priced as a movie ticket. Clooney, working from a script he penned with his frequent collaborator Grant Heslov, has fashioned his film as a traditional WWII flick, with a “Great Escape”-like score by Alexandre Desplat and a sentimental kind of soldierly chumminess.

Only this band of brothers is more like an assembly of academics. A handful of museum curators and art experts have been gathered by

art historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) to investigate and retake the troves of artwork the Nazis have stolen for a mammoth German museum planned by Hitler.

The platoon is ill-suited for war but bold in spirit: an art restorer (Matt Damon), an architect (Bill Murray), a sculptor (John Goodman), a British museum head (Hugh Bonneville), a theater producer (Bob Balaban) and a French painting instructor (Jean Dujardin).

Some of the pairings are fitting: Clooney and Damon planning another heist (“Ocean’s Thirteen”); Dujardin and Goodman back on speaking terms (“The Artist”).

In truth, more than 300 Allied servicemen and women worked in the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program in the final years of the war. They helped lead to the recovery of about 6 million objects

(estimates vary). Most of the names in the film have been changed, and the mission has been made significantly more romantic.

Cate Blanchett plays a reluctantto-cooperate assistant curator from Paris’ Jeu de Paume museum. A book by real-life Rose Valland inspired John Frankenheimer’s 1964 film, “The Train,” with Burt Lancaster. It portrayed the French Resistance effort to derail a train of stolen art taken from the Jeu de Paume. With the cunning of sabotage and the soot of the train yard, “The Train” makes a more superior and grittier film.

“The Monuments Men” is instead weighed down by dutifulness. It feels like it’s only a third act, lacking any buildup of tension or character development. When Stokes solemnly argues early in the film about risking life for the recovery of what he calls “the foundation of modern society,”

the movie has presented its thesis statement, and settled any debate.

Though deadly encounters follow, the nobility of the quest is unchallenged.

With this film, Clooney (who enjoys a self-satisfying scene telling off a Nazi) has erected a stiff monument, a worthy if undramatic tribute to those it’s based on.

One wishes the movie had arrived 11 years earlier. Maybe it would have raised enough awareness to take precautions ahead of the toppling of Saddam Hussein, when Baghdad’s Iraq museum was looted of thousands of antiquities.

“The Monuments Men,” a Columbia Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some images of war violence and historical smoking. Running time: 118 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

auai landscape art lovers can discover the vibrant colors and creativity of local artist and world traveler Grant Pecoff this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The energy here is unlike any place Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever traveled,â&#x20AC;? said Pecoff who fell in love with Kauai while touring the Hawaiian Islands in 2005 before he ever painted the landscape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a two-month long trip and Kauai was the last island we saw. There was something so different about it compared to all the other islands. It reached into my heart and soul and grabbed hold of me,â&#x20AC;? said Pecoff.

Blown away by the landscape and nature he saw and felt, Pecoff and his wife moved from Encinitas, Calif., to Kauai two weeks after their vacation.

Now, the artist will be on display Friday to March 7 in Hanapepe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beauty here is like something out of a fantasy book,â&#x20AC;? he raved.

Now he paints in vibrant oil colors what he sees, sometimes even inserting a fantasy cottage, for example where it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist, in an oil work entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Napalei Trail.â&#x20AC;?

The artist has broadened his medium choice to include three-dimensional hand-carved wood relief with oils painted over it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like getting into the workshop and using power tools,â&#x20AC;? said Pecoff with a sense of joy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birch wood works great.

It has amazing patterns in it, similar to sky and water patterns.â&#x20AC;?

The Bright Side owner Kate Enoka is thrilled to include Pecoff as one of the featured artists in the Hanapepe gallery that she opened in May 2013.

Enoka is inspired by Pecoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and his message about living dreams and life to the fullest. She is also living her dream of working with artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandmother was a prolific artist,â&#x20AC;? Enoka said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She would be so proud of me, almost like a piece of her is being carried on.â&#x20AC;?

Enoka will be hosting Pecoff at a special reception tonight to kick off a week-long exhibit entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colors of Kauai.â&#x20AC;?

The Bright Side is at 3890 Hanapepe Road, Hanapepe. (808) 634-8671.

Ladies in red celebrate post-Valentine lunch H

annah Timbol, president of the Kauai Filipino Women’s Club, said one of her goals was to improve and increase the club’s membership.

The result was the inaugural Ladies in Red post-Valentine’s Day luncheon.

Sunday, nearly 100 ladies and their gentlemen escorts celebrated the second Ladies in Red luncheon at the Courtyard by Marriott at Coconut Beach, chaired by Julienne Mateo, who was installed as the club’s secretary.

“This is pretty funny because I did not know much about the club,” said Desiree Duclayan-Parsonson, a new member who borrowed her children’s graduation wear for the fashion show. “But this is right up my alley. I love this kind of stuff.”

Timbol said the signature event for the Kauai Filipino Women’s Club is the annual Terno Ball, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary later this year.

“We want to get the youth involved and add their strength and energy to the club,” Timbol said. “To the elders, don’t leave us, but instead, serve as mentors for our youth.”

She said the Kauai Filipino Women’s Club has a membership of 340 members.
