here is one routine that Scott Giarman has kept up for the past 16 years.

At 7 a.m. on almost every Saturday morning, he signs on to his two-hour Kauai Community Radio Saturday Classical Selections program, where he shares his love of classical music with island residents.

“I don’t think there are a lot of people on Kauai who are into classical music but it is a small, hard core,” said Giarman, who also serves as the executive director of Kauai United Way. “It’s such a Mark Holloway rich, wonderful world that I think Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center a lot of people are in New York City. intimidated by and During the one-day event, the artists they don’t need to will play selected pieces from Wolfgang be.

This year’s fundraiser, Giarman said, will also feature a few prizes up for grabs.

A lucky number drawing will be held for a trip to Oahu, a spending spree at Ala Moana Shopping Center, and tickets to the Neal S. Blaisdell Center.

There will also be live auctions for a number of prizes, including an all-expenses paid trip for two, including airfare, car and luxury hotel accommodations, to San Francisco and tickets to the San Francisco Symphony.

Keoki’s racks up 36 years serving local-style grinds

L

ongevity in the restaurant business can be elusive. But Barbara and George Prigge have been serving up local grinds for 36 years from their little place known as Keoki’s.

Don’t be misled, like many confused online reviewers; that’s the Keoki’s lunch counter in Lihue’s Industrial Area II, not Keoki’s Paradise in Koloa.

“I think, honestly, we’re one of the longest ones still going,” said George. “We

have customers who started coming in 1978. Now their kids are coming.”

Their recipe is simple: good food, served quickly.

“We serve local food, not anything fancy, that people aren’t used to eating,” he explained.

His wife was even more blunt.

“We don’t serve healthy food,” Barbara said with a hearty chuckle. “We serve what the guys like to eat. I had

healthy food before, but it didn’t sell.

It just sat in the back and (eventually) went to my tortoises.”

The menu has been simplified over the years to a solid lineup. The teriyaki steak is the most popular, George said, plus the charbroiled burgers (the teri cheeseburger has a fervent fan base).

A rotating schedule of plate lunch specials cover the gamut of island

favorites, from adobo, tripe, curry and beef luau stews to five or six mouth-watering variations of chicken.

Breakfasts include loco mocos and French toast made with Portuguese sweet bread — and pretty much everything has a side of rice.

“The concept is ‘come in, pick up and go.’ No more waiting, as much as possible,” George said.

The day I stopped by, the specials

were stir-fried chopped steak ($7.95) and chicken fried steak ($7.25).

The chopped steak was juicy and peppery; the onions, peppers and celery crisp and fresh. The chicken fried steak was lightly battered pieces of boneless fried chicken, dotted with cream gravy. Both were served with rice and mac salad, and both were satisfyingly substantial. Not fancy, but plenty filling.

Baked goods are made daily by their daughter-in-law Heidi Prigge, who “takes care of the place,” George said.

The popular banana bread had already sold out, but Heidi brought me a “blondie,” or white chocolate brownie, also known as the “hapa haole.”

It was delicious: dense and chewy, studded with crunchy macadamia nuts.

Keoki’s also does catering and luaus — “not too much fancy stuff,” George said.

“Lately, it’s small-kine,” Barbara said. “We just depend on our lunches.”

That business is pretty good. “The window does well,” Barbara said. “Lunch is packed. The line goes out the door.”

But the Prigges don’t intend to add more seating.

“Where would I put?” George asked with a grin, gesturing around their corner of an industrial warehouse. Most of the space is filled by a bustling kitchen, visible through the counter windows. Shelves, stacked high with bins, line the walls above the single table with three stools, shaded by an umbrella.

Workers from the surrounding businesses form their most loyal customer base, but “they come from all over,” Barbara said.

The couple decided to

George was working long hours in the hotel industry, in a number of food and beverage management positions — which meant he was missing out on seeing their boys grow up. Barbara had trained under several resort chefs, so they pooled their talents and opened Keoki’s in the spot now occupied by Kalapaki Beach Hut in 1978.

They were able to set their own hours, taking turns opening and closing the restaurant so the other could be home when the boys were out of school. “We got to raise our kids, both of us,” said Barbara with satisfaction.

By 1990, they had outgrown the kitchen in Kalapaki and Barbara wanted to expand the catering side, so they moved to the industrial zone on the makai side of Kapule Highway before it merges with Rice Street.

The couple is still hard at work, although Barbara said they’re “semi-retired.”

“It’s a tough business,” George mused. Staying open for 36 years takes “some sort of miracle, I think.”

Keoki’s, located at 3009 Peleke St., Lihue, serves breakfast from 6-10 a.m. and lunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Sales are cash only. For more information, call 245-3260.

eoki’s doesn’t have a lot of fancy drinks, just the basics to get you going in the morning.

The lunch counter in Lihue’s Industrial Area II added a coffee bar menu when they expanded to serve breakfast, about 2 1/2 years ago.

“It’s been pretty popular,” said Heidi Prigge, daughter-in-law of the owners, George and Barbara Prigge.

At the time, they asked the workers in the nearby offices if they’d be interested in espresso drinks, Heidi Prigge explained.

“The girls were like, ‘Yeah!’ But now even the boys buy,” she said with a laugh. “Big bald guys with tattoos come in, ask, ‘Sistah, I get one frappuccino?’”

Still, most of the drinks business at Keoki’s is pretty straight forward.

“The majority of people just order coffee,” she said.

She served me a regular latte — fancied up a bit with cocoa powder and cinnamon sprinkled on top.

It was hot and strong. No frills, just like the industrial zone it was served in; basic, but it did the job. And sometimes, that’s really all one needs in a coffee drink.

The coffee bar at Keoki’s, 3009 Peleke St., Lihue, is available during breakfast hours, from 6-10 a.m. Lattes are $3.25 for 12 ounces, $3.95 for 16 ounces.

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JOCELYN NOVECK

‘Divergent’ doesn’t diverge quite enough I f you have a kid of a certain age — especially a girl, preteen or thereabouts — then you know the young-adult entertainment message of choice these days: You’re you, and nobody else.

Don’t let them define you. Don’t let them put you into one of their neat little slots. You’re unique. And you’re gonna show the world. You go, girl!

So it’s no surprise that this is the message of “Divergent,” the latest young adult blockbuster-in-waiting. It’s also no surprise that the emerging young star Shailene Woodley delivers a crucial dose of humility, sensitivity and intelligence in this showcase role. And it’s no surprise, either, that she generates nice chemistry with her rather absurdly good-looking co-star, Theo James.

What IS surprising is that with all these promising elements,

“Divergent,” the first of three installments based on first-time author Veronica Roth’s trilogy, ultimately feels so lackluster.

For a film predicated on the principle that being different — or “divergent” — is what makes you special, “Divergent” just doesn’t diverge enough from the pack.

Not that this will hurt the film’s chances at the box office. Like “The Hunger Games,” the franchise to which it will unavoidably be compared, “Divergent” has a ready-made audience of fans just waiting to fill those seats — over 11 million books have been sold, after all.

Those book fans will have a crucial head start. “Divergent” takes a good deal of time explaining plot mechanics, but If you already know what’s happening, you can spend more time admiring, say, those

cheekbones on James — or his day-old, dystopian stubble.

In a nutshell, “Divergent,” directed by Neil Burger, takes place in a futuristic Chicago, a bleak version indeed of the Windy City. Half of every building seems to be destroyed, leaving hulking shells. Civilization is divided into five factions, based on human virtues: Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite, Amity, and Candor.

Beatrice Prior (Woodley) is born into Abnegation. But at age 16, a citizen can choose

their own faction, at the Choosing Ceremony. Right before, they take an aptitude test that tells them which faction they fit best. Beatrice’s results are downright scary: She has not one virtue, but all of them. She is “divergent” — which makes her dangerous.

To the distress of her parents (Ashley Judd and Tony Goldwyn), Beatrice opts to join Dauntless, the most courageous faction, but also the most reckless: Pierced and tattooed, they look like unusually fit punk rockers. Soon she’s

in boot camp, jumping on and off trains (trains never seem to actually stop in this movie) and into pits, and fighting viciously in the ring, under the guidance of the initially unforgiving Four (James), her trainer. Gradually, Beatrice — she’s renamed herself “Tris” — becomes buff and strong. But will it be enough to survive?

On top of all this, there’s a political storm brewing, led by the villainess Jeanine Matthews, played by a blonde and stilettoclad Kate Winslet in one of her less convincing performances (in a sadly under-written role.)

Matthews is the leader of Erudite, which means she’s got a killer IQ along with those killer heels, and she’s convinced that Divergents are a threat to her plan to overthrow Abnegation.

Then there’s Peter, another Dauntless initiate who comes from Candor, meaning the role is

perfect for the fast-talking Miles Teller — so memorable opposite Woodley in “The Spectacular Now,” but underused here.

There’s some entertaining action here, but the action most teen fans may like best involves a lip-lock — as teen movie kisses go, it’s a really good one — between Woodley and James.

At 143 minutes, though, the movie feels overly long, and by the end, you may want to hop onto one of those trains yourself and hope it arrives somewhere a lot less grim. But two sequels await. So there’s always hope.

“Divergent,” a Summit Entertainment release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense violence and action, thematic elements and some sensuality.” Running time: 143 minutes. Two stars out of four.

-LJGC=K G> &GN= &9M?@L=J 9F< &GF?=NALQ â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Dixie Swim Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; makes a comeback by popular demand

T

he cast of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dixie Swim Clubâ&#x20AC;? has reunited, sans one of the five actresses from last season when the Kauai Community Players staged the production.

Their reunion seems quite apropos in light of the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plot surrounding five southern women who reunite each August free from the demands of men, sex, marriage and divorce.

Cher Ellwood, a former professional dancer, is playing the role of Lexie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She loves being married over and over and over again,â&#x20AC;? said Ellwood, as she applied her stage makeup for show last weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, she learns that there is more to life than just men.â&#x20AC;?

The actress loves the intimate stage at the Puhi Theatrical Warehouse space compared to previous venues where she has performed including venues in Portugal, Madrid and Japan. She said she has grown to love her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dixie Swim Clubâ&#x20AC;? character Lexie because, as it turns out, Lexie is not as shallow as she had originally thought she was.

Show director Jo Grande, said all of the characters age from their 40s into their 70s throughout the production.

The women originally met while competing on their college swim team and, to keep those friendships alive during the play, they meet up at a beach house in North Carolina every August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The story makes the audience laugh, makes them think and as time evolves, the women reveal very close secrets,â&#x20AC;? said Grande. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartwarming and poignant.â&#x20AC;?

For Ellwood, her character Lexie reminds her of her 101-year-old grandmother with fire red hair who was flirting with an ambulance driver when she was 96. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She lived with grace, dignity and beauty,â&#x20AC;? said Ellwood.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dixie Swim Clubâ&#x20AC;? also promises to introduce audiences to five unforgettable women with inspiring friendships that endure the trials and tribulations of life.

It was a favorite last season when the run had to be cut short after an actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family emergency.

Shows run Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m and Sundays at 4 p.m. through April 6. Tickets are $15 for Kauai Community Player members and students, $18 for seniors and $20 for general admission.

All productions are held at the Puhi Theatrical Warehouse Theatre space, 4411 Kikowaena Street. Info: kauaicommunityplayers.org/dixie-swim-club/
