Colorful Tongan cultural celebration LISA ANN CAPOZZI TGIFR!DAY

he joyous sounds and sights of transplants from Tonga will fill the air Saturday at the Lihue United Church Parish Hall. “It’s very exciting,” said Lihue United Church Pastor Leni Namoa. “We’re now seeing a second generation of Tongan people being born on Kauai.” Tonga, is an archipelago of 176 islands south of Western Samoa and about two-thirds of the way between Hawaii and New Zealand. They began immigrating to Oahu in the 1960s, and from there relocated to Maui and Kauai, according to Namoa. In celebration of the community estimated to be between 200 and 300 Tongan people on Kauai, participants from three area churches will join together

and perform their version of hula as well as singing in both Tongan and English. “They will be singing an anthem that they perform in church that praises God and his kingdom,” said Namoa, adding how proud he is of the long hours the children and young adults have been putting into rehearsals the past couple weeks. The celebration of their heritage will also include a war dance by the boys and men and music performed on guitar and banjo. “The people from Tonga love the people in Hawaii. They love the island of Kauai and they love working here,” said Namoa. Up to 50 children will be performing the native dances. Calling it a rainbow of colors, Namoa said each child will change into as many as eight different,

traditional costumes. “The costumes are very expensive and difficult to make,” he added. “They are all handmade out of shells, leaves, flowers and fabric.” A fine craft display will include fiber woven taavalo (skirts), mats, baskets, fans, wood carvings, bone carvings, colorful decorations on fabric. The free event is part of the Kauai Historical Society ‘s100th anniversary celebration and is sponsored in part by KHS as well as the Tongan people. The location for the “Tongan Voices and Hearts” celebration is from 2 to 4 p.m. at Lihue Parish Hall, 4340 Nawiliwili Road. Light refreshments will be available. Donations to the Historical Society and the Tongan community will be accepted. Info: 245-3373 or visit www. kauaihistoricalsociety.org.

VIVIANE GILBERT STEIN SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

Small Town Coffee co-owners Anni Caporuscio and Jeremy Hartshorn sample their product beneath Bruce, the land shark who greets customers at the Kauai Products Fair in Kapaa.

Small Town Coffee excels at more than coffee

dmittedly, Small Town Coffee Co. is best known for its coffee. After all, that’s what earned the Kapaa coffee shop an impressive accolade from Sunset’s Insider Guides, which proclaimed: “Small Town Coffee serves possibly the best lattes in the world.” That made the owners so proud, they put it on a T-shirt. But the food is gaining a following as well. “Most of the business is for breakfast, but lunch is picking

up more and more,” said coowner Anni Caporuscio. “We use as much fresh food as we can,” she explained. “We grow herbs ourselves,” and serve “anything we can do that’s homemade,” such as salsas and pestos. “We do all our own baking, too.” she said. Caporuscio’s favorite breakfast sandwich is the Pig in an Apple Tree ($7.50), which features layers of warm bacon, thin slices of Granny Smith apple and cheddar cheese, piled on

a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese. The meat and cheese was beautifully balanced by the crisp sweetness of the apple. But best of all was the bagel: It was crunchy and chewy and everything a bagel should be but so often isn’t. Since February, Small Town Coffee has been serving bagels made by Kapaa bagelry Ya Quddos. “They’re vegan, organic, locally made, traditional New York-style bagels,” Caporuscio said.

Many such local products are featured in the witty and occasionally hilarious menu. Breakfast offerings range from the Infamous El Guapo, Italian Scallion, We Found Nemo and Eggstra Terrestrial, to the popular Happy Hippy, featuring Anahola Granola. Many of the recipes are staff creations. “I want their creativity, and for them to be invested in it,” Caporuscio said of the crew. Creativity runs amok at Small Town Coffee, where the ambiance is funky, fun and relaxed.

Quirkiness abounds and apparently multiplies — the metal owl sculpture that greets customers was recently joined by Bruce, a massive land shark. The interior is cozily crowded with mismatched chairs, the walls filled with colorful paintings by staff and customers. Sly signs abound. The dishes can be charitably described as vintage — “everything’s either donated or thrift store,” Caporuscio reported proudly. On a recent Saturday morning, a never-ending line of customers

streamed through, greeting old friends or making new ones. A family of vacationers, grateful to be out of the Canadian winter, chatted cheerfully with locals waiting for their orders, while earnest-looking writers tapped away on laptops, taking advantage of the free WiFi. Outside, a pyrographic artist held court on the wooden deck, which curves around a fish pond, crowded with greenery. Folks talked story at benches and chairs clustered under canopies, while a side porch sheltered an

impromptu didgeridoo and guitar jam session. Caporuscio bought the original Small Town Coffee in 2006 with co-owners Jeremy and Julie Hartshorn. After the coffee shop’s move in 2011 from its original home in the blue building just down the highway, the Hartshorns ratcheted down their involvement to focus on their other venture, the Bandwagon. The Hartshorns are still “backhand partners, not quite silent,” Jeremy Hartshorn quipped. “Anni’s rockin’ it here.” “They do the things I’m scared to do, like taxes and Costco runs,” Caporuscio explained with a laugh. The move, which the coowners described as involuntary and daunting, turned out to be a blessing. The ordeal was alleviated by the outpouring of support from the community, Hartshorn said. “The customers came and built this place. It was a huge volunteer effort.” And the location was an improvement, offering plenty of parking and a generous outdoor space. “It’s been so much better,” Hartshorn said. “The shop is thriving instead of just surviving.” Moving also meant they could design the kitchen and counter area, rather than adapting to

Classic cappuccino simple, elegant VIVIANE GILBERT STEIN SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

S someone else’s vision. “It allows us to be more creative. Plus, this has a better dance floor behind the counter, and I think that’s important,” Caporuscio said with a smile. The coffee shop is known as a place for live music — recent Friday night events have included an accordionist and zydeco band — but the hootenanny and open mic nights are on hiatus. Other than that recent change, it’s business as usual at Small Town Coffee — and that’s just fine. “The beauty of a local coffee

shop or watering hole is you have your place,” Caporuscio said. “It’s supposed to be predictable and reassuring.” That’s the backbone of Small Town Coffee. “Coffee shops are built on morning routines,” she explained. “And morning routines — you don’t mess around with ‘em.” Small Town Coffee is located at 4-1613 Kuhio Highway, in the Kauai Products Fair at the north end of Kapaa. It is open from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the kitchen is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 821-1604.

ome coffee shops might try to wow customers with fancy, complicated drinks. But Anni Caporuscio offered up a classic cappuccino to showcase Small Town Coffee Co.’s quality. It was simple, elegant. Practically perfect in every way. Barista Gloria Gilmer poured the shots and Caporuscio, the Kapaa coffee shop’s co-owner as well as an award-winning barista, and created the latte art. The foamy rosette was a delightful topper for the smooth, full-bodied cappuccino. “It tastes good, so it should be pretty as well,” Caporuscio said. Pretty it was, and as easy on the tongue as it was on the eyes. There was absolutely no need for additional sweetening.

“A cappuccino ($3.75) should not be bitter or harsh,” Caporuscio said. “When you steam it properly, it brings out the natural sweetness of the milk.” Certain corporate coffee conglomerates (that shall remain unnamed) covers up the bitterness of their beans by overloading the coffee drinks with syrups and powders, Caporuscio complained. Small Town Coffee uses only fair trade, organic and

artisanally roasted coffee, and the baristas are carefully trained in the science as well as art of coffee making. That creates a mild, naturally sweet drink “without all the diabetes,” Caporuscio said. “But if you choose diabetes, we make our own syrups!” she quipped, pointing to the vanilla, chocolate and almond syrups. Small Town Coffee isn’t machine-based coffee,” Caporuscio said. The baristas learn to make adjustments when the weather changes, since humidity affects the milk and beans and how they interact. That’s in addition to paying attention to a slew of other factors, such as bean handling, grinding, tamping … the list goes on. As Caporuscio declared: “We like to say we calibrate the people, not the equipment.”

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JESSICA HERNDON

‘Need for Speed’ a thrilling stunt fest

t takes a lot for a film based on a video game to impress a crowd these days, given the dazzling advancements in gaming technology. But “Need for Speed,” based on the hit EA Entertainment racing game that’s sold 150 million units, could now drive some of that success toward the box office. Despite its clichid elements, this adrenaline-fueled stunt fest is an unequivocal thrill that deserves to be seen on the big screen. Starring “Breaking Bad’s” Aaron Paul, “Need for Speed” is fiercely entertaining, loaded with beautiful cars, winding roads and racers in leather coats. Since “Breaking Bad” ended last year, Paul has been making an impressive transition to film, starting with the indie drama “Hellion,” which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. In “Need for Speed,” he flexes his machismo as a street racer on a vendetta. Following a two-year prison sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, mechanic and race driver Tobey

Marshall (Paul) is determined to get revenge on Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper), the man who framed him. To do so, Tobey drives from New York to California to battle Dino in a highstakes race dubbed the De Leon. Along for the ride are British car buff Julia (Imogen Poots) and Benny (Scott Mescudi, also known as recording artist Kid Cudi), the jovial airborne lookout of Tobey’s crew. Written by first-timer George Gatins, who produced “She’s Out of My League,” the plot is heavy with questionable logic and monotonous dialogue. Modeled after classic 1960s and 1970s action films, where the cars were key, “Need for Speed” often attempts to be a dramatic thriller. But it’s best when consciously comical. Trite conventions, like Tobey’s brooding demeanor, punctuated by his deep monotone and acute stare, are effective, although overdone at times. But Tobey isn’t always serious. When riding cross-country, the eccentric Julia gets him to loosen up. Their banter

offers cute comedic relief and sets the stage for romance. Long gone are thoughts of his ex, Anita, played by upcoming “Fifty Shades of Grey” star Dakota Johnson, who tests out her siren potential — and achieves it. But it’s the sexy, witty and accessible Poots who really shines. Michael Keaton, as the ridiculously animated mystery man behind the De Leon race, is another highlight.

Compared to the “Fast & Furious” franchise by way of fast cars, harrowing races and a band of brothers connected mostly by loyalty, not blood, “Need for Speed” is more like an underdeveloped sibling. It lacks the brutal and brawny gentleman quotient, perhaps the most delicious feature of “Furious.” Still, the boyish good looks of Paul and Cooper are appealing. But could they really save

us in a pinch? Vin Diesel’s Dom in “Furious” seems more reliable. Easily the best parts of this ride are the thrilling stunts and races. Stuntman-turned-director Scott Waugh puts us right in the driver’s seat as cars exceed 120 mph and spin through the air. First-person camera angles keep the action immediate and personal, just like the video game. Additionally, overhead views offer a sweeping scope of the races as the drivers speed past vineyards in California’s Mendocino County, where the De Leon race scenes were filmed. Though the pace remains mostly high-octane throughout, it drags in the beginning and during the final face-off. But overall, this flashy underworld of super-charged machinery and intense action is a blast. “Need for Speed,” a DreamWorks release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sequences of reckless street racing, disturbing crash scenes, nudity and crude language.”
