auai Sings returns with a bang this weekend with three nights of mid-1960s rock and pop from the United Kingdom.

Produced by Jason Blake of Lucky Dog Productions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The British Invasionâ&#x20AC;? begins at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 5 p.m. Sunday. All shows are at Hukilau Lanai in Kauai Coast Resort in Waipouli.

Proceeds will benefit Malama Pono Health Services and Kauai United Way. Kauaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest solo performers will take to the stage to celebrate the phenomenon that includes The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Lulu, Tom Jones and many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sixteen or so of Kauaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best singers singing songs like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I Want to Hold Your Handâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey Jude,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Michael Sorensen, the new executive director of Malama Pono.

Blake said Kauai Sings does three shows each year, including the larger Christmas performance at Kilohana Plantation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a pop-centered show, like last year,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the British Invasion changed the fabric of pop music in America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at it, it was really an interesting time in history,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Each performance will last about two hours and include more than 20 different songs from the era, according to Blake.

As for the singers, expect nothing short of top-notch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some veterans who are beloved by the audi-

ocated in the heart of Kapaa, the Bull Shed has been serving Kauaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community since 1973. Completely renovated in April, it is now owned by Castle resort and hotel. The restaurant was originally opened by a Washington state

native family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to pinpoint where the name came from. Many stories answer the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;why the Bull Shed?â&#x20AC;?

One says that the family owned a 70s steak house in Washington with the same name and kept it. Another simply explains

that the grounds of the restaurant were once a pasture with a slaughterhouse, and thus the name.

If you are looking for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;casual dining steakhouse with the best ocean view,â&#x20AC;? the Bull Shed is an excellent choice, general

f you want to enjoy your meal with a great ocean view and a fine drink, the Bull Shed is an excellent choice.

The variety of flavored Vodka offered helps you get creative at the Shed and their martinis will soon have their own section on the menu. The Hawaiian Martini, for $7.75, is a favorite. The flavor is induced by the Hawaiian Vodka, which is made from sugar cane and filtered trough lava. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed with a touch of pineapple and coconut, dusted with nutmeg and topped off with a garnish of fresh pineapple.

Assistant manager Pamela Nuivoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite, the Thai Mango Cooler ($8.25) is an interesting mix of Kai Lemongrass â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ginger Vodka, lime, coconut water, sweet and sour, and mango, shaken and poured over ice.

If you prefer wine, you will not be disappointed.

Manager Robin Dame has worked with a certified sommelier, or wine connoisseur.

Not to be outdone, Dame is a detailed wine connoisseur himself. He picks three wines

weekly to represent a part of the menu as the managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. The Seven Falls Merlot, a 2010 stock out of Washington, was the top pick of the week.

It goes for $9 a glass or $36 for the bottle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wine that a wine geek like myself would appreciate; If it came from Napa it would cost $100 per bottleâ&#x20AC;? Robin says. It is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big bold Merlot from the Wahiuke Slope in the

Columbia River Basin. It has great structure and complexity with a long finish. Pairs well with all Bull Shed meats, including prime rib.â&#x20AC;?

Happy hour is daily from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.with specials on Mai Tai and Pina Colada ($5), domestic beer ($3), cabernet and chardonnay ($4), and Margarita, Hawaiian Martini and Hawaiian Cosmopolitan for $6.

manager Robin Dame says.

I have to agree. The table we were seated at almost felt like it was floating on water.

We started with the Waipouli Scallops, $13. Baked with mushrooms, garlic, parmesan cheese, and white wine sauce, they are the perfect starter for a sea food lover. If you like your food deliciously melting in your mouth, you will not regret this choice. Prime Rib is the local favorite and you can get the Bull Shed cut, with bone, for $35 or regular cut without the bone for $29. My favorite was the

dessert Lappertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kauai Pie, $6. It is a phenomenal coffee and caramel ice cream pie that would satisfy your sweet tooth. The restaurant is open daily for dinner 5-9:30 with a happy hour starting at 4:30 p.m.

Wednesdays and Saturdays, in addition to your food and drink, you can enjoy life performances by Troy Waialeale and Shito Pa. Mondays and Wednesdays are King Crab days, while Tuesdays and Thursdays are Porterhouse Steak days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love my job,â&#x20AC;? says assistant

manager Pamela Nuivo said, with a big smile, who has worked at the restaurant for 35 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of local regulars and also visitors that have been coming to the island for the last 20 years and they always come back. We have very low turnover; some of our staff has been here for over 20 years.â&#x20AC;?

The warm smile of our server Andrea Keao, a staff member for 14 years, seems to confirm it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my fun job,â&#x20AC;? the waiter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love working here and love all my co-workers.â&#x20AC;?

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JOCELYN NOVECK

34 =8A> ?548554A B78=4 8= 5;0F43 Ÿ50<8;H½ T

alk about a promising duo for a dark mob comedy: Robert De Niro, whose mobfilm pedigree needs no explanation, and Michelle Pfeiffer, who was, after all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Married to the Mob.â&#x20AC;?

Happily, these two more than carry their weight as husband and wife in director/co-writer Luc Bessonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new film â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Family.â&#x20AC;?

Less happily, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough to save this oddly paced, overly violent, sometimes amusing but sometimes jarringly unfunny movie.

De Niro is Giovanni Manzoni, an ex-mob boss from Brooklyn whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snitched on his former cohorts and must disappear fast, along with his wife and two kids. Newly named the Blakes, they set up in a picturesque Normandy village (is there any other kind?)

There, Fred, Maggie and kids Belle and Warren try to assimilate. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too great at it, since they have varying anger management issues.

On the other hand, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helped by the fact that, magically, the villagers all seem to speak fluent English, from the cafe waitress to the parish priest to the village grocer. In fact, all the kids at school speak English. And all the teachers, and the principal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and every single member of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film society.

Now, no one expects the film to be in subtitles. But Mr. Besson, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re French! And so you know that even if all these people DID have a fluent command of English, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be cheerfully using it all day long.

But we digress. Because the film has deeper issues. Namely, the violence, in the name of â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark comedy.â&#x20AC;? Giovanni â&#x20AC;&#x201D; er, Fred â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cannot refrain from beating people to a pulp, or to death even, if he feels heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been disrespected or dealt a raw deal. At one point, a plumber gives him an

estimate he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like. Not a good idea.

Maggie (a funny and touching Pfeiffer) tries to rein in her husband. But hey, even sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not above a little arson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually, blowing stuff up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when she feels slighted. As for the beautiful, blonde Belle (Dianna Agron of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gleeâ&#x20AC;?), she has a propensity to beat up schoolmates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say, if you swipe her pencil box. Brother Warren (an appealing John Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leo) has the most self-control, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inherited other qualities from Dad. Watching over the family are a couple FBI handlers and their boss, played by Tommy Lee Jones, who could do this kind of cranky-agent stuff in his sleep, but is nonetheless a welcome presence. It takes an awfully long time to establish the story, and the pacing feels off. Finally, things get going when the jailed mob boss back home finds out, via an absurd (yet amusing) chain of coincidences, where the family is.

The movie, based on the novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Malavitaâ&#x20AC;? by Tonino Benacquista, picks up here, but alas, so does the cartoonish violence. Not to be prudish, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit hard to keep laughing when so many innocent (and nice!) people wind up dead. And then the Blake kids get involved.

When I saw the film, the audience broke into rousing cheers when the young boy picked up two humongous guns and started shooting. It was a little sickening.

There is one very funny scene, where Fred appears on a film society panel. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spoil the secret, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say that, while it has nothing to do with the story, it will delight De Niro fans as well as those of Martin Scorsese, who is, as it happens, a producer on the film.

But it might remind you that, with Scorsese and De Niro involved, this film should be making mobster magic. Au contraire, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

POWWOW REJUVENATES SPIRITS STARTING FRIDAY

C

heyenne Little Eagle Phoenix is the reigning Wildhorse Princess, and she will be coming to Kauai.

Dr. Kani Blackwell, president of the Circle of Friends & Relatives of First Americans as well as the Kauai Powwow Council Board, met the Princess in Temecula, Calif., and invited the Navajo and half Northern Paiute Los Angeles resident to the island for her inaugural visit.

Dr. B, as she prefers to be called, met the princess at the Pechanga Powwow in Temecula and asked the dancer if she’d like to show off her skills at the 15th annual Kauai Powwow.

The Princess said yes.

“I started Fancy Shawl Dancing when I was 7 years old,” the princess said, noting how important it is to live and dance with great pride, honor and respect. “This is a

way for me to stay connected to my community which is essential for me in my life.

When I dance, I think of the people who have helped me in my life, my family, and my Navajo/Paiute culture, which I represent proudly.”

Gates to the powwow open at 4 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday at the Kapaa Beach Park.

Friday evening’s program offers craft and food vendors and a silent auction and will feature a drum circle from 6 to 9 p.m. Members of the public are invited to bring their own drums.

Saturday’s event starts with the blessing of the grounds, a welcome and intercultural gift exchange with Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr., followed by the Grand Entry at 11 a.m.

Sunday’s program features

the Grand Entry starting at 11 a.m. and will be followed by singing, dancing and drumming until 5 p.m.

Dr. B said this year’s powwow is going to be the Kauai Powwow Council’s biggest and best event for intercultural exchange with more than 100 Native Americans, including the Wildhorse Princess, coming to Kauai.

A key component of the powwow is the school outreach program, which Dr. B said is overflowing with participants, including the Elsie Wilcox Elementary School, Kapaa Elementary School, Island School, the Kawaikini Public Charter School and home school students squeezed in.

“Last year, we had 57 students, and this year, 380 students are attending the school outreach,” Dr. B said. “I got so excited about all the keiki coming, I made an

activity book for each one.”

With interest in the School Outreach at an all-time high, Dr. B said the Native Americans will visit Kekaha Elementary School Monday, the day after the powwow ends.

“During the years when attendance was meager, Kekaha Elementary and St. Theresa schools were always there,” Dr. B said. “So when Sue Schott from Kekaha called, I felt so badly that we were ‘maxed’ out. The only pono thing to do was to offer to visit Kekaha Elementary School on Monday. It is the righteous thing to do.”

Dr. B said the extra trip will mean unanticipated expenses to help cover the cost of keeping the Native Americans here an extra day, and donations will be gratefully accepted during the powwow.

Three Nations from Arizona

will serve as the Powwow Color Guard and Headman Dancer is Eric Manuelito whose hanai sister, Celina Mahinalani Garza, will help with the School Outreach program.

“The men in Three Nations have all served our country: Bob Numkena, Hopi, U.S. Air Force, Frank Mendoza, Tarahumara, U.S. Army, and Wes Ricks, Choctaw, U.S. Navy,” said Dr. B. “Eric Manuelito is the grandson of the famous Navajo Chief Manuelito.”

The Head Woman Dancer is Abriel Johnny-Rodriguez, who just moved from Oahu to Washington for Law School at the University of Washington.

She’ll perform the grand finale for the event before heading back to school in time for Monday class.

“Talk about dedication,” Dr. B said.

DENNIS FUJIMOTO TGIFR!DAY

Jorge LeChuga of the Navajo Nation is the lead singer for the Wildhorse Singers, the host drum for the powwow.

The Chief, now called “Chairman” of the Barona Band of Mission Indians, Clifford LaChappa, will be gifting our mayor and opening the powwow following the blessing by Puna Dawson and keiki from Kanuikapono School.

“Kauai really does rejuvenate the mind, heart, and soul,” Dr. B said. “There is no better place to do that than at the 15th annual Powwow which has as its theme — ‘Rejuvenate Your Spirit - Embracing Our Culture and Tradition.’ Come dance with us.”

The daylong event, hosted by the Kauai Chamber of Commerce, featured a Spam musubi contest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; billed as the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a fried rice competition with celebrity chef Sam Choy, who flew in from the Big Island to be a guest judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a perfect match to be on Kauai,â&#x20AC;? said Choy, who noted that the event was on Rice Street and in the Rice Shopping Center in Lihue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so great to be a part of this and see the kind of talent we have here.â&#x20AC;?

A number of local food vendors, including Pacoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tacos, Kauai Kookie, Salty Wahine, The Right Slice, and Monkeypod Jam, Aunty Lilikoi, Hoopulapula Haraguchi Rice Mill, were also on hand to sell their homemade products.

By the end of the day, Rodney Haraguchi of the Hoopulapula Haraguchi Rice Mill, said all of their homemade kulolo, made from mashed taro corms and grated coconut meat or milk, had sold out.

Cub scouts from Pack 148 at Lihue Christian Church were also on hand to sell their $2 handmade spam musubis to benefit the Kauai Independent Food Bank.

The 503 musubis sold that day, a scout leader said, required 90 cups of rice and 80 cans of Spam â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donated from the Regency and Puakea and Garden Island Rehab and Health Care Center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and five hours of labor.

In addition to the donations made by the scouts, festival organizers were also on hand to collect donations of canned Spam and other luncheon for the Kauai Independent Food Bank.

In all, festival organizers said attendees donated 95 cans by the end of the day.
