Restaurant in Kapaa, Hanalei Surf, Progressive Expressions in Koloa, the Kalaheo Cafe, and Ishihara Market in Waimea.

People requiring Americans with Disabilities Act accomodations need to call 246-1135.

The lines are drawn during a re-enactment of the Civil War during the salute to the Armed Forces.

“We will have a re-enactment of M.A.S.H. with Radar doing the commentary,” Biehler said. “All of the M.A.S.H. characters will be there, and there will be action galore, including the arrival of helicopters with incoming injured.”

This takes place outdoors where a special military tank replica has been created, and the military tents — they already did a test run with help from the Kauai Fire Department — from the Kauai Veterans Center will give credence to the re-enactment.

As the sun wanes, action moves indoor to the stage where a Broadway show to salute the Armed Forces will take advantage of stage lighting, and two bands — the Starlighters, and Vibrations, a band from Honolulu.

“We’ll have representatives from the different branches of service,” Biehler said.

“The commander of the U.S. Coast Guard

Station Kauai will be here, joined by Capt.

Vinnie Johnson of the Pacific Missile Range Facility. We will have a 91-year-old Double Purple Heart veteran representing the U.S. Marines, and a lady from the U.S. Air Force.

Freedan, aka Ron Wood of FM97, will be wearing his dad’s uniform.”

What follows is a tribute to the Armed Forces and a musical tour of the payment for freedom — from the days of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and moving into World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War. “We have a lot of music,” Biehler said.

“Nineteen characters, 19 tunes. That is a lot of music — and quick costume changes.”

Adding to the excitement is dinner, a no host bar, and silent auction filled with bargains contributed by generous community organizations and individuals — all to benefit the Kauai Veterans Museum, which is planning a remodeling to better preserve and

LU‘AU KALAMAKU IS MAGICAL T

From the food and drinks to the music and dancing, this is an evening to remember

hey say Lu‘au Kalamaku is a spectacular show.

They say it tells the story of the original Tahitian voyage to the Hawaiian Island with music, song and dance that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard And they say you can feel the pride of the performers from the moment they take the stage under the pavilion at Kilohana.

What they say is true.

From the moment you walk up, you are greeted with smiles and warmth. That spirit of aloha continues throughout the night as your picture is taken, you are led to your table, visit with staff while getting a drink and chatting with vendors outside or meeting other guests and many locals, too. Chances are, if you go alone, you won’t be alone for long. You’ll make some new friends.

‘POE-KEY’ WITH CHEF CHOY man using whatever ingredients they had on-hand. In Hawaii, cubed and seasoned, it is called “poke” (pronounced “poe-kay”).

Nowadays, influenced by a variety of new cultures and cuisines CYNTHIA & ED JUSTUS to Hawai’i, there are numerous SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY varieties of poke, and the selection at deli counters like Ishihara Market, Kauai Pupu Factory, loha cookbook and food and others are mouthwatering! fans!

The enjoyment of eating Eating poke is like eating potato raw fish has been a part of most chips; once you start, it’s really every culture that has had access difficult to stop! So ono, yeah?

We think it’s like eating candy! to fresh seafood, primarily born from on-the-spot hungry fisher- YUM!

A

Sam Choy, Hawaii’s-own internationally famous chef, has compiled this beautiful cookbook of poke recipes that shows you how to have all that great poke with ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen or at your farmers’ markets!

Printed in a specially-designed spiral-binding with hardcover case for easy use during your poke creating, “Poke: Hawai’i’s Food” is packed with 150+ pages of great recipes for all the modern classics of poke, as well as new creative variants (or “nou-

veau poke” as Chef Choy calls it), including sections on seared, cooked, and deep-fried poke!

There are even a few vegetarian options, too, like tofu poke!

Part of the book also has special guest chefs who have contributed their own favorite poke recipes as well, including names such as Emeril Lagasse and Alan Wong.

And for fun, Chef Choy has included an “on-the-go” section, winner recipes specially crafted for when you visit your mainland friends and want to introduce their palette to the savory wonder that is poke.

All this poke talk is making us hungry! These great pictures of the different poke varieties prob-

ably has something to do with it!

movie review

Questionable murder derails ‘Rough Night’ fun

I

n “Rough Night “ four women on a wild and crazy bachelorette weekend in Miami accidentally kill a guy and try to get away with it.

You know it’s coming. It’s right there in the trailer. In the middle of the party, Jillian

Bell’s coked out character runs full speed toward a male stripper to straddle him and inadvertently knocks the guy over. As his seat falls back, his head cracks into the sharp edged fireplace ledge behind him.

Visitors / residents $65 / $45 before 11am $55 / $35 after 11am $30 for Ha'upu Gold

What the trailer doesn’t show is the reddish black blood oozing out from the dead guy’s head onto the white tile floor. Have I mentioned this is a comedy? Was the trailer warning us about this moment so we could be prepared? Or was it selling it as part of the laughs?

Others have tried to venture into this questionable terrain before, like the insanely awful “Very Bad Things,” in which the dead stripper is referred to as a “105 pound problem.” Comedies are welcome to test our moral flexibility, but it was extremely hard to get on board with the

privileged cover-up antics of the “Rough Night” crew after the man bleeds out — no matter what narrative gymnastics they try to concoct to make it OK. Not even “Weekend At Bernie’s” had the gall to make the protagonists the murderers.

The thing is, there is a lot of funny in “Rough Night,” the directorial debut of Lucia Aniello, who wrote the script with her partner Paul W. Downs (he also plays the straight-laced fiancé of Scarlett Johansson’s character). The comedy duo has the chops to make something wild and great — they’ve worked as co-pro-

ducers and writers on the wonderfully manic millennial friendship comedy “Broad City,” which Aniello also directs occasionally.

For “Rough Night” they assembled a great (and brilliantly random) cast, including “Broad City’s” salty star Ilana Glazer, Saturday Night Live’s pinch-hitter Kate McKinnon, the fearless up-and-comer Bell and the wonderfully versatile Zoe Kravitz. They’re put in an initial situation that’s both relatable (college friends reuniting years later for a bachelorette) and gives room for things to get out of control (just add some cocaine, missed connections and a pair of crazy neighbors in Demi Moore and Ty Burrell). But it lacks “Broad City’s” delicious edge and deranged specificity in favor of something more broad and generic.

We meet the girls briefly in college. Jess (Johansson), Alice (Bell), Blair (Kravitz) and Frankie (Glazer) are inseparable and unapologetically sloshed at a

frat party owning a game of beer pong.

Cut to few years later and they’ve gone their separate ways and grown up, sort of.

Jess is even running for office, sporting a politician crop and dowdy wares. There’s a great bit between her and her campaign staff about the reasons she’s lagging in the polls.

That most have evolved beyond their college selves makes the reunion feel a little bit like forced joy at the outset. But that’s a good thing, and you find yourself cringing and laughing in equal measure as they negotiate how the weekend is going to go.

“Rough Night,” a Sony Pictures release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “crude sexual content, language throughout, drug use and brief bloody images.” Running time: 101 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Pa‘u princesses from each of the islands in Hawaii join the celebration, adorned in flowers and colors of the island they represent.

This year’s celebration featured Kauai ali‘i Kaumuali‘i and Manokalanipo whose leadership allowed for peace and prosperity. The celebration also paid tribute and honored Kauai’s ocean voyagers.

The event was presented by the County of Kauai, and the Malie Foundation.
