Hawaii’s birds brought to life

H

awaii wildlife watercolor artist Marian Berger will be on hand to kick off the start of The “Living Endemic Birds of Hawaii� Art Exhibition‚ opening Monday and running through Aug. 29 at the Botanical Research Center of the National Tropical Botanical Garden’s headquarters. Berger will be signing reproductions of her work from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on opening day. The exhibitionwill feature 33 original life-size watercolors Berger of nearly four dozen birds that are found nowhere else on Earth but Hawaii. The event is hosted by the garden as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. It’s free to the public but donations to the nonprofit NTBG are suggested. “Berger’s paintings bring these beautiful birds to life so that anyone can closely examine and admire their fleeting charms,� said John Clark, NTBG co-director of science and conservation. “It took the extreme geographic isolation of Hawaii for these birds to evolve and it took Marian Berger to capture them so realistically on canvas.� The Living Endemic Birds of Hawaii collection of paintings is the result of a collaborative effort between Berger and the San Diego Zoo, a project spearheaded by Cliff Hague, who lives part of the year on Kauai. Hague and the zoo commissioned the works to raise awareness of the plight of Hawaii’s vanishing birds. The collection was later purchased by a couple who have loaned it to NTBG for the exhibition. NTBG CEO Chipper Wichman said that the organization is delighted to share a collection of this magnitude and impor-

tance with the community and visitors in a building dedicated to studying and preserving the very plants that co-evolved with these same birds. “Berger’s collection is remarkable for its accuracy and artistry,� Wichman said. The Ireland-born artist said she acquired her father’s love of science, her mother’s artistic bent, and her parents’ mutual love of the outdoors. Her richly detailed portraits of Hawaii’s birds are valued for revealing the rarely seen beauty of birds like the apapane, akikiki, and the Nihoa finch depicted in their natural habitat. Berger grew up in Alaska and Wake Island in the Pacific before moving to the Big Island in 1976. She had just earned her

bachelor’s degree in wildlife management and lived with her spouse in a Volkswagen bus. The couple toured the island to find a spot to call home. “During the evenings we entertained ourselves at the Hilo library for hours,� Berger said. “I soon found myself surrounded by books with illustrations by amazing artists such as Frederick Frohawk, Doug Pratt and Robert Wagstaff- and learning about the plight of the endemic birds in Hawaii. Here I began teaching myself to paint these beautiful feathered gems.� The exhibit will run most weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., 3530 Papalina Road in Kalaheo.

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have created fermented products such as wine, beer, kombucha, bread, cheese, chocolate, yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut and poi. Each item in the line of 12 convenience products is made

The creamy spread is made with fermented white taro from Hawaii, The Big Island; fermented cabbage and fermented Maui onions. Deep orange mustard gets its color from fermented carrots and turmeric. Fermented white taro lends a creamy base to the course texture and brown mustard seeds give it a little bite. Slather the trio on a Passion Bakery taro brioche bun and top with a Life Foods patty. Loaded with vitamin A (90 percent DV), vitamin K (50 percent DV) and manganese (45 percent DV) the Original Superfoods Burger packs 10 grams of protein from buckwheat, chia seeds and quinoa. Sliders are great for kids and Purity, Immunity or Energy burgers contain extra ingredients that help detoxify (yacon), boost your immune system (reishi mushroom) or give you an extra push (maca). For breakfast, I like to top a Life Foods patty with sauteed kale and two poached eggs. I drizzle a little Pineapple Thai Chi hot sauce on top, made with roasted pineapple and jalapenos. Banana Thai Chi hot sauce, made with caramelized bananas, is at least three

Maqui berries, which grow wild throughout parts of southern Chile, are very rich in anthocyanins, which are purple pigments with very high antioxidant activity.

A pitch-perfect Woodley anchors ‘Fault’

L

et’s start with the obvious. For its core audience, “The Fault in Our Stars” is essentially critic-proof. If you’re a fan of the wildly popular young-adult book by John Green, and have already shed tears at its story of teenage cancer patients learning about life, love and sex as they fight to stay alive, then you’ll be a fan of this movie. Slam dunk. Go buy your ticket. But of course, you probably already have. The situation becomes more nuanced, though, for those who haven’t read the book. Both author and fans have pronounced the movie, directed by Josh Boone, extremely faithful to the novel, but does that make for the optimal cinematic experience? Many films have failed, after all, for adhering too strictly to the written page. Happily, we can report that “The Fault in Our Stars” is, despite the occasional misstep in tone, largely a solid success ‚ a film that not only manages the transition from page to screen nicely, but also navigates with skill that hugely tricky line between the touching and the trite, the moving and the maudlin.

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JOCELYN NOVECK

And that latter task ain’t easy. But there’s one major reason that the movie succeeds in this regard. Her name is Shailene Woodley. It’s hard to believe it’s only been two years and change since Woodley’s breakout performance in “The Descendants.” Don’t you feel like you’ve known her much longer? Perhaps it’s because she’s established herself so firmly as one of our most interesting and yet also most

grounded, honest young actors. Her mere presence lends an air of authenticity to whatever else is happening onscreen. That’s particularly crucial in the role of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old with an easy wit ‚ intelligent, wry and pragmatic without being overly cynical. Hazel barely survived thyroid cancer as a preteen; a flashback shows the agonizing moment when her mother (a touching Laura Dern, in a difficult part)

told her it was OK to “let go.” But Hazel didn’t, and now, buoyed by an experimental drug, she’s already taking college classes. She wears nasal tubes, which carry oxygen from the portable tank she carries with her always. Urged by her doting parents to try a cancer support group, she reluctantly attends, and there meets Gus‚ better known to readers as Augustus Waters (the appealing newcomer Ansel Elgort), along

with his sidekick, Isaac (Nat Wolff ). Gus is handsome ‚ very handsome‚ and somewhat cocky, though clearly this is a fighting mechanism. Gus has lost a leg to cancer, but he’s apparently in remission, and determined to live ‚ not just any life, but an extraordinary one. But what defines an extraordinary life? The movie explores this theme as it follows Hazel and Gus to Amsterdam. Their goal: to meet Hazel’s favorite

author, Peter Van Houten (a suitably crusty Willem Dafoe), and ask questions about his novel, “An Imperial Affliction,” a book with which Hazel is obsessed. The trip is by turns disappointing, inspiring, joyful, and tragic. A crucial love scene is beautifully handled, with nary a false note. It’s unfortunate that an earlier moment, involving a trip to Anne Frank’s house, feels uncomfortable ‚ cheesy, and, in its juxtapositions, somewhat tone-deaf. It’s important to note that the scene ‚ and the rationale behind it ‚ is conveyed far more successfully in the book. But that’s a fairly rare misstep. And now we must inform you, dear moviegoer: About three-quarters of the way through, if not sooner, you’ll start hearing sniffles, then sobs, all around you. And it’s hard to imagine you too won’t succumb, even a little. And that’s because of Woodley. “The world is not a wish-granting factory,” Gus says. No, but in finding a young actress who can make an audience fall apart while her character somehow remains fairly together herself, the filmmakers certainly saw their own wish granted.

Rebelution returns to Kauai

I

t has been nearly two years since the independent reggae band Rebelution last held a public performance on Kauai. At that time, concertgoers flocked to Kilohana Pavilion in Lihue to see the Northern California band perform a number of their songs from their popular “Bright Side of Life” and “Peace of Mind” albums alongside fellow reggae artist Collie Budz, who was born in New Orleans but hails from Bermuda. The four-man group will make a return visit to Kauai Saturday night, when they will hold a concert at Kauai Community College and play alongside local jazz, rock and funk band Applesauce. The concert, according to their tour schedule, is the second stop on their cross-county tour — and one of three stops in Hawaii — that will take them to 29 cities in two months.

Though the band has its roots in Northern California, Rebelution has gained momentum in the islands since the four-member group, including vocalist and guitarist Eric Rachmany, keyboard player Rory Carey, drummer Wesley Finley, bassist Marley Williams, was formed in 2004. “Hawaii has really embraced

Rebelution and BAMP feels honored to be a part of it,” said Flash Hansen, the marketing and promotions director for BAMP Project, which is organizing the three-stop Rebelution tour through the state. “Hawaii always appreciates when the big names make time to join us, especially on the outer islands. We look forward to

many more Hawaii Rebelution shows in the future.” The concert also comes just days before the band’s new 11-track album “Count Me In” is set to be released on June 10. That album, according to concert promoters, addresses topics such as global warming, living one’s life in a proactive versus entitled way and the legalization of cannabis. “Our music is meant to move people physically and mentally at the same time,” bassist Marley Williams said. “When people are really dancing and really thinking, that’s a double threat.” Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7:15 p.m. General admission tickets are $44.36 after a $9.36 service fee is added on. They are available at the BAMP Project website at: http://www.bampproject. com/2014/05/06/rebelution-kauai/ or can be purchased at the door.

‘World Inner Motion’ dance show set to impress LISA ANN CAPOZZI t the age of 10, Jennifer Bell-Grey auditioned for The Royal Ballet School in London and was accepted. But her passion for the genre began when she was only 3 years old, studying at Becky’s Ballet while living in Hong Kong. Today, she is at the helm of Kauai Dance Studio and has been teaching dance to others in Hawaii for more than 16 years. It is her pleasure to pass along the charm, elegance and technique of not only classical ballet, but contemporary, modern and hip hop styles as well. “There are probably only seven Americans with my credentials,” Bell-Grey said. “My classes are of the European method. Some of my students start and stay for 16 years. I had one that started at the age of 4 as a Lilac Fairy. She had stage fright. Now she is 14 years old and doing pirouettes on pointe.” Tonight, 75 of Bell-Grey’s students will take to the stage at the Kauai War Memorial Convention Hall to show off their dance prowess and poise in a live multimedia dance show. Titled “World Inner Motion,” the show will incorporate original music composed by Bell-Grey’s husband, Mel. The talented artistic couple opened a studio in a new space for Kauai Dance Studio in February. The more than 2,000-squarefoot multimedia complex serves the needs of those with a penchant to dance or to create music and films. Mel created the special film components of tonight show. “It deserves to be somewhere big, like in New York,” Bell-Grey said. Thirteen-year-old Shaylyn Silva is excited to step into her spectacular costumes. “It’s fun,” said Silva. “I like doing ballet. I got inspired by the older kids cause I saw them doing pointe and wanted to do it and now I am. My younger sister does hip hop.” The convention hall is at 4191 Hardy St. in Lihue. It starts at 5:30 p.m. and is expected to run two hours. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. Food and refreshments will be available. The cost of tickets is $15.

HAPA plays Kapaa Saturday

T

he annual Kauai Music Festival is still two months off. However, Saturday offers an opportunity for music lovers to get pumped and support the festival in advance. Musical group HAPA, featuring Barry Flanagan, Ron Kuala’au and special guest Tarvin Makia, returns to the Garden Isle Saturday for a pre-festival benefit concert just a stone’s throw from the beach at the Courtyard Marriott Kauai in Kapaa. Flanagan said HAPA performed at the original KMF and continues to be a big supporter. “We support anything that has anything to do with inspiring songwriting for young people,” he said. Founded in 2002, KMF is a nonprofit organizationwhich hosts educational, networking, and showcase events throughout the year, culminating in the signature 4-day KMF Songwriter Conference and Concert Series in July, according to its website. Having just finished a twoand-a-half month tour, Flanagan said concertgoers can expect to see HAPA do what it does best‚ “music witha lot of oomph in it.” Roughly half of the songs played at the event will be new material. “We haven’t performed on Kauai for a number of years,

so it’s going to be as new as it gets,” he said. “It’s really fresh and really new.” Over the years, HAPA has received its fair share of glowing reviews. The New York Times called them “the most successful Hawaiian music group in recent history.” And the L.A. Times said the band was, “Powerful, urgent, compelling, muscular, hypnotic!” Katherine Brocklehurst,9 secretary of the KMF, prom-T ised that those who attendR Saturday’s concert are in forp an amazing performance and fun evening. 7 “A lot of energy and virtuosityS in their ability to convey theA spirit and emotion of HawaiianI slack key,” she said. f Like Brocklehurst, FlanaganP is glad to be coming back. Hisa wife’s parents were both born on the island and he said he has7 developed his own personalK connection with the island. “Any chance to get to Kauai is always a yes, because we just6 love it over there,” he said. T Saturday’s concert begins atK 7 p.m. at the Courtyard Marriotth Kauai, 650 Aleka Loop. Tickets“ a cost $25 in advance, $30 day of concert and at the door.
