Trees Lounge celebrates Oktoberfest Sunday

K

Top: The Trio Band, with Jeff Caldwell, Ron Rhoades and Randy Carnevalli, and guest musician Jim Winkler rock out at Trees Lounge Monday evening.

Trees Lounge will be serving discounted beer during Oktoberfest Sunday, when there will be a beer garden, live music and traditional Bavarian food available starting at 3 p.m.

auai may not be Bavaria, but the people here do love beer and a reason to party.

With that in mind, Mark Myers is throwing an Oktoberfest at Trees Lounge for the fourth consecutive year, starting at 3 p.m. Sunday and lasting through the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a good reason to party, a good reason to celebrate,â&#x20AC;? said Myers, adding there will be a special beer garden, live music and traditional Bavarian food.

In 1810, the German city of Munich threw a mega-party to celebrate the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who would become King Ludwig I â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

And the rest is history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one filled with strong beer, Bavarian food and, of course, a heck of a good time that ended up lasting more than two weeks.

Munichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oktoberfest at the 103-acre Theresienwiese is one of the largest and longest-running parties in the world, attended by more than six million people each year. It lasts for at least 16 days, starting in late September and ending the first week of October.

Since 1950, Munichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oktoberfest opens with a 12-gun salute and after the mayor taps the first keg and cries, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ozapft is!â&#x20AC;? which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tapped!â&#x20AC;? in the Austro-Bavarian dialect. Then, the mayor serves the first beer to the state of Bavariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minister president.

Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that for elected officials getting along?

And by the way, all the beer served there has to be brewed in Munich and must have at least 6 percent alcohol

content, well above the average content of regular beer.

But back to the local early fall tradition, Treesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Oktoberfest is not so strict on the alcoholic content or origin of beer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of the beer inventory will be available at an outdoor beer garden, and at a discounted price.

Myers said they will be also serving traditional Bavarian food, such as bratwurst, pretzels and sauerkraut.

The crowd at the beer Garden will be entertained by the funky jazz of Milo Matthews, an Alaskan musician who lives part time on Kauai.

Later in the night, the Kauai Rhythm Kings take the stage inside Trees. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same group that Myers said â&#x20AC;&#x153;killed itâ&#x20AC;? last week while opening a concert for Leon Russell at Kauai Community College.

Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink too much and pass out, becoming one more â&#x20AC;&#x153;bierleichen,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;beer corpseâ&#x20AC;? in German.

Before her marriage to Prince Ludwig, Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, also know as Therese of Bavaria, was on a list of potential brides to Napoleon Bonaparte. Bavarians embraced her as a the ideal queen, wife and mother.

Despite Ludwigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mishaps in his love life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a famous one in 1848 which prompted him to step away from the throne â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their marriage lasted until Thereseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1854. But their wedding party lives on.

Trees Lounge is at 440 Aleka Place in Waipouli, right behind Coconut Marketplace. Call 823-0600 for more information.

n January of 1986, Keokiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paradise in Poipu was opened as the new addition to the TS Restaurants family. Starting in 1967, with the opening of their first restaurant in California,

Robert Thibautâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and John A. Sandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sâ&#x20AC;?) goal was to develop, build, and personally operate a limited number of high-quality restaurants in California and Hawaii.

Apart from serving from the farm straight to table and using local produce, a portion of the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds helps fund community organizations on Kauai. Legacy of

Aloha is the name given to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come in, enjoy, relax and be a part companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charitable efforts, which of the ohana,â&#x20AC;? said Manette DeCosta, are grounded in the spirit of giving bar and marketing manager. without an expectation of receiving â&#x20AC;&#x153;We focus not only to serve a anything in return. meal, but to create a memory,â&#x20AC;? added

f you are looking for a refreshing drink in a relaxing atmosphere and want to be surrounded by cooling ponds, waterfalls and beautiful island plants that will give you an almost rainforest-like feeling, Keokiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paradise is the perfect choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a restaurant that happens to have a bar,â&#x20AC;? Manette DeCosta, bar and marketing manager, humbly described the locale.

Considering the artistic, hand-crafted cocktails I was served, I would say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an understatement. Prepared by bartender Kapena Tahero, the

John Poehnelt, dining room manager.

Along with Derek Kessler (GM) and Ryan Mahony (AGM), the staff at the restaurant is there to make sure your experience is as good as it can be.

Recommended by the managers was the Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fresh Fish Duo, a combination of two Hawaiian fresh fish (monchong and opah the night I went), misoyaki seared and herb grilled, citrus vinaigrette, Thai coconut, jasmine rice and locally farmed vegetables for $32.

Perfectly cooked and beautifully arranged, this was the best choice for a fish lover like myself.

While enjoying their Aloha happy hour, daily 3-5 p.m., you can also get the special three-course chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sunset menu, 4:45- 5:45 p.m., priced at $24.

To top the royal treatment, you can expect a diverse calendar of live music every night from 7-9 p.m., with a special performance every first Friday

Poipu PiĂąa, $13, tasted great and had a phenomenal presentation.

The drink consists of fresh pineapple and mint blended with coconut rum, passion fruit and coconut cream, and is served in a whole, locally grown pineapple.

The second drink I tried was the Koloa Hoâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;opio, $10.50. It is made with sweet Thai basil, fresh pineapple, coconut and Koloa Kauai Spice Rum, a local rum made from Koloa grown sugar cane. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shaken over ice.

Hoâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;opio means refreshing in Hawaiian and the word should be

used to describe both drinks. The fresh mint and basil makes them what I call: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Mojito Kauai style with an unexpected twist.â&#x20AC;?

The bar has a unique 28 degrees blizzard beer system. Too cold to hold is the only problem you might have with it and Keokiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is one of three bars on Kauai that has one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Locals and tourist alike â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is all about the Aloha spirit, taking care of each other and having a good time together,â&#x20AC;? said Jesse Anacleto, dining chef.

And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to say that the staff at Keokiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provides exactly that.

Keokiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager Manette DeCosta with a dinner offering. of the month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually have a live person band those nights,â&#x20AC;? said Manette.

I had the pleasure of being there on a Sunday night and meeting Olamon from Revival, who performed as a part of a three-man band.

Delicious food, refreshing and unique drinks, positive energy, smiling managers, and fantastic live music. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for more on my visit. The bar opens at 11:30 a.m. and the dining room runs from 4:45-9:30 p.m. daily.

he FLDSMDFR lives!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too much of a spoiler to tell you that, because without the FLDSMDFR, more precisely known as the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator, there would hardly be reason for a sequel to the sweet and entertaining 2009 family film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.â&#x20AC;?

And if â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cloudy 2,â&#x20AC;? which ups the zany quotient in the continued adventures of Flint and his food-producing FLDSMDFR (we just love the name, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep saying it) lacks the heart and fresh feel of the original, it almost makes up for it in gorgeous, color-popping visuals and in its most important new creation: the Foodimals.

Like we said, almost.

But first, what are Foodimals? Your kids probably know already, and pretty soon, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be asking for their Foodimals multivitamins. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better educate yourself.

Watermelephants. Bananostriches. Shrimpanzees. Tacodiles. Cheesepiders. Yes, the remnants of FLDSMDFRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food storm have turned into living things.

To recap, at the end of the last movie, Flint (voiced by Bill Hader) had saved the world by heroically deactivating his over-performing FLDSMDFR, with the help of his brainy friend and sort-of love interest, Sam (Anna Faris), and others including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babyâ&#x20AC;? Brent (Andy Samberg), loyal monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), and Flintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad Tim (James Caan).

The sequel, directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, begins precisely eight minutes later, with Flintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Swallow Falls facing a huge cleanup job from that giant storm created by, yup, the FLDSMDFR. Or, in one of the first of the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

many, many puns: a disaster â&#x20AC;&#x153;of epic portions.â&#x20AC;?

Here we have no devious mayor, but a new villain: Chester V, the head of Live Corp., clearly modeled after Steve Jobs and Apple (small kids wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get this, but I sat next to a 10-year-old who did). Chester (Will Forte) whisks Flint and his friends up to Live Corp. HQ, where aspiring inventors compete to win Chesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor. This HQ, which could be Google-inspired as much as Apple, has free caffeine stations (caffeine patches, too), which serve up things like â&#x20AC;&#x153;quinoa lattes,â&#x20AC;? for an easy grownup laugh.

Flint thinks Chester wants his knowhow, but all Chester really wants is the FLDSMDFR, for his own dodgy reasons. So he sends Flint back down to Swallow Falls, where he and his loyal friends soon discover that the FLDSMDFR is not only alive but has created those seemingly monstrous Foodimals. The only problem: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually not monstrous. Especially the strawberries and the marshmallows. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adorable.

Enough on the plot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your enjoyment will probably depend on your tolerance of those countless food-based puns dreamed up by script writers Erica Rivinoja, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Some might find these tiresome, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just note here that this is a kid movie, and KIDS LOVE PUNS. So they laugh at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a leek in the boat.â&#x20AC;? And they laugh even more the second time.

For the adults, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to admire in the beautiful visuals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; trees of a truly stunning purplish burgundy, for one small example â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and cultural references like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jurassic Parkâ&#x20AC;? and even, I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lion King.â&#x20AC;?Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely chuckle at the Silicon Valley-type setting called â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Fran Jose.â&#x20AC;?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a hilarious simultaneous translation scene, performed by a helpful strawberry.

inging and drums filled Kapaa Beach Park last weekend as hundreds of people gathered for the 15th annual Kauai Powwow.

The three-day event, hosted by the Kauai Powwow Council, began on Friday, Sept. 27 with a school outreach program at Lydgate Pavilion, where students from Kapaa Elementary, Wilcox Elementary, Island and Kawaikini Public Charter Schools met Kauai Powwow dancers and drummers and were introduced to traditional American Indian songs and dance styles from various tribes.

In all, Kauai Powwow Council President Dr. Kani Blackwell said a total of 4,541 visitors, including 426 international visitors, attended this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the largest turnout since the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powwow, she said, was a collaborative team effort made possible by the Kauai Powwow Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vice President Alfred Darling, Secretary Cindy Morinaka, Treasurer Shawna Lee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Powwow Committee, consisting of Conan Blackwell, Tepairu Manea, Elena Perriera, Dale Rosenfeld, Albert Lopez and the Church of Native Americans.

Drum, flute and singing performances from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event included those from the Allen Family Group from Washington State; Renee Janton of Hanalei; the

Three Nations group of Arizona, comprised of Bob Numkena, Wes Ricks and Frank Mendoza; the Wildhorse Singers from Los Angeles; the Muckelshoot Tribe of Auburn, Wash., and 808 NDNZ from Oahu.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kauai Powwow head staff included Head Man Dancer Eric Manuelito, of the Navajo Nation; Head Woman Dancer Abriel Johnny-Rodriguez, from the Cowichan and Tlinget tribes; Master of Ceremonies John Dawson, of the San Carlos Apache Nation; Arena Director Danny McDaniel, of the Choctaw Nation; and the Veterans of the Puyallup Tribe, who served as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s color guard.

The powwow, which featured hours of dancing from Saturday till Sunday, celebrated special hoop dance performances from Kimmer Bighorse, Iosepa Lyman and Malie Lyman of Oahu.

In keeping with the spirit and intention of the event, other cultures were also celebrated through performances from Tepairu Manea, Aloha Africa, Tamateo Nui O Kauai, John Dumas and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joyful Noise Taiko Drummersâ&#x20AC;? with Aki Conquest, and Illima Rivera and Hula Studio.
