“Get Set” by Licia McDonald is set against Tom Huffman’s ‘On the Verge’ at the KSA Membership Show at the KSA gallery at the Kukui Grove Center.

The show kicked off March 24 and runs through April 14. During that time, the public is invited to go to the KSA Gallery at the Kukui Grove Center and, for a $1 donation, vote for their favorites. “We have very interesting 3D work — we have everything from a giant pig to a dragon and an outrigger canoe made out of ceramic,” Jones said.

$100, Jones said. The reception at the KSA Gallery is open to the public.

hen the steak rub DENNIS FUJIMOTO was conceived, it SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY did not have any dragon fruit, said Sean Cristobal, the mix master at Salty Wahine Gourmet Hawaiian Sea Salts. “I tried using dragon fruit, one day,” said the producer of Fiery Dragon Fruit & Java Steak Rub. “It produced a good aroma, and made everything smooth. It’s also a good play on words — you know, ‘Fiery Dragon’ — and dragon fruit is one of the superfoods.” The new mixture earned second-place honors at the 2017 Scovie Awards in Arizona, described as the world’s most competitive fiery foods contest. The 2017 Scovie Awards judging panel of about 90 culinary experts honored Salty Wahine Gourmet Hawaiian Sea Salts in the Unique category with a second-place Global Media Productions Presents honor. The product was applauded because of its Global Media Productions Presents well-balanced flavors, nice heat, and unique ingredients. The Scovie Awards evolved from the National Fiery Laura Cristobal Andersland, owner of Salty Wahine Gourmet Salts, and her son Sean Cristobal, the Salty Wahine mix master, Foods & Barbeque Show in 1996 when the event was show off the Scovie award-winning Fiery Dragon Fruit and Java Rub and two of its latest no salt rubs. called The Fiery Foods Challenge.

h, yum! We all love the look and smell of those beautiful artisan loaves of bread we see at our favorite bakeries! Have you ever wondered how you can make that kind of bread at home?

Now you can actually make your own delicious and beautiful homemade artisan breads in just five minutes! We’ve been very excited to discov-

tainer to make a concoction of bread dough that is always on hand. When you want bread, just pull out a fistful, let rise briefly, make some incisions on the top (for that artisan look) and then bake! With no kneading! It is so unbelievably simple that once you’ve made your first batch, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t do this years ago! Not only does “New Artisan Bread” provide the master recipe, it also includes loads of variations you can make with the same mix.

‘Okinawa: The Afterburn’ coming to Kauai KEALIA — John Junkerman, director of “Okinawa: The Afterburn,” will be at Kealia Farm Market on Saturday, April 8 to answer questions and talk story after the free Kauai premier of the documentary. The event is set for 7 to 10 p.m. The award-winning film presents a history of Okinawa from World War II until present day and is narrated in English. The film “conveys the complex postwar fate of Okinawa, an island that has had to live side-by-side with an extensive array of US bases,” according to a news release about the film. An explanation of the recent resistance to a plan to build a U.S. base at Henoko and the controversy surrounding it will also be part of the presentation and is woven throughout the film. This film depicts the 1945 April battle through the eyes of Japanese and American soldiers who fought each other on the same battlefields, along with Okinawa civilians who were swept up in the fighting,with carefully selected footage from the US National Archives, according to the release. Kealia Farm Market is across from the north end of Kealia Beach in Kapaa and the film will be under the covered pavilion area.

NAHOLA — Ka Hale Pono, in partnership with the Hawaii Tourism Authority, the County of Kauai, and the Department of Hawaiian Homes Land, celebrated not only the birth of Prince Jonah Kuhio, but the late Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustee Moses Keale. The grounds of the Anahola Beach Park bristled with activity of traditional Hawaiian games, bounce houses with welcome water features, and activities including the traditional konani game and tops created from kukui nuts to keep keiki and adults occupied as the protocol of dignitaries presenting their acknowledgements to Keale’s family occupied the stage. An offering of crafters and entertainment from community schools, hula halau, and musical ensembles completed the scene cemented by the aroma of food that served as fundraisers for community organizations. Celebrations of Kuhio’s birthday continue at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, the Koloa Landing, and at the Prince Kuhio Park where the celebration hosted by the Royal Order of Kamehameha starts at 10 a.m. Saturday.
