Peggy Ellenburg, one of the founders of the school, has been working with students in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show, which follows an adaptation by Christopher Sergel from the book by Leonard Wibberly. The drama teacher says about her rehearsing for the show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to give them the best experience I can. Whenever they work on a show, they learn about how to manage their time

Deanna Sloger is a junior at Island School and will play the starring role of Gloriana as the Dutchess of Grand Fenwick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to audition in front of Peggy and three other guests,â&#x20AC;? said Sloger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on stage you have to separate yourself from your nervousness and just go on.

Flavors of the Mediterranean VIVIANE GILBERT STEIN SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

S

tepping into the Mediterranean Gourmet is like entering another world. Hanging lanterns gleam like jeweled globes, gauzy curtains drape around alcoves beneath a soaring ceiling. A long wall of windows offers every table a view of waves sweeping in toward the North Shore.

And the food is just as magnificent.

Many people hear “Mediterranean” and assume the Haena restaurant serves only Greek food, said co-owner Yarrow Beydoun.

“There’s so much wonderful food

throughout that region,” from France, Italy, Spain, Lebanon and Greece, she explained. “So we try to bring our favorites from those regions, and bring them to our menu.”

Then, “we add a little Hawaiian influence,” such as Hanalei poi pancakes for Sunday brunch.

The appetizer menu is full of Lebanese dishes — “that’s our core base,” said Yarrow, who was raised on Kauai and returned with her Beirut-born husband, co-owner and executive chef Imad Beydoun, to raise their two sons here.

But the entrees hail from other countries, such as chicken marsala (Italy), gyro (Greece), paella (Spain), and rack of lamb (France).

“All the wonderful food from throughout that region, it’s really healthy, but it’s also full of lots of flavors,” Yarrow Beydoun said.

And it’s all very fresh, Imad Beydoun promised, opening the walk-in refrigerator to show off three huge, fresh-caught ahi hanging from hooks, and trays of organic greens from Kailani Farms in Kilauea.

“Everything’s made in-house: all

BAMBOO GRILL & SUSHI “Local Food at Its Best” Breakfast is served from 7 a.m to noon, lunch is from 10:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., and dinner is from 5:30-9:30 p.m. Happy Hour is from 3:00-5:30 p.m.

the dressings, the hummus, tahini, tzatziki … all the desserts,” he said.

“We don’t buy any boxes, or serve frozen food.”

Plus, he added, “We try to make it reasonable, to let you enjoy it.”

Enjoyable, it certainly was.

A trio of hummus (traditional, sun-dried tomato and pesto, served with pita bread for $9.95) offered the wonderfully garlicky hummus the Beydouns used to sell at farmers markets, before they got too busy with the restaurant.

The kale salad ($9.95) was a de-

lightful mix of Kilauea kale tossed with mango tahini, pine nuts, goat cheese and grape tomatoes, with Medjool dates adding a surprising sweetness.

The Falafel Lettuce Wrap was an assortment of rich textures and flavors.

Falafel patties were served on leaves of Romaine with tahini, nestled next to hummus, babaganush and quinoa tabouleh ($23.95).

And the rosemary rack of lamb was a work of art. Australian free-range lamb was arranged over tiny mounds of garlic mashed potatoes and elegant

A sweet finish was furnished by the signature dessert: coconut baklava ($8), whose flaky sheets of Phyllo dough cradled buttery coconut, seasoned with rose water syrup.

Mediterranean Gourmet has earned an impressive collection of culinary accolades since opening in 2006, including a slew of Hale Aina Awards from Honolulu Magazine and nods from OpenTable.com and TripAdvisor.com.

“We’ve been very blessed,” Yarrow Beydoun said.

“We depend on the local clientele here in the neighborhood,” as well as guests from the next-door Hanalei Colony Resort and referrals from Princeville resorts, she said. “We’re lucky enough to have a wonderful relationship with those hotels.”

The restaurant also draws a number of celebrities, many of whom appreciate the privacy afforded by the “Pierce Brosnan corner,” explained manager Mark Helgeson.

“The energy they’re creat-

ing here, it’s just neat. It’s very family,” he said of the Beydouns.

“They’re very entwined with the community. It creates a whole vibe.”

A luau replaces the regular dinner service every Tuesday.

Featuring the Coppin Colburn family, the luau is limited to 80-100 guests, and sells out weeks in advance.

“We’re trying to create a smaller, intimate-style luau,” Beydoun said, with a strong focus on Hawaiian hula. “We’re looking to provide less of a Hollywood spectacle.”

Beydoun, a Level I sommelier who is working on her Level II license, also wants to focus on guests’ enjoyment of wine.

“I’ve always had a passion for wines from around the world, and teaching people about them, and I use my wine list and menu as a way of doing that,” she explained.

“We have a pretty extensive wine list from the Mediterranean region … and a lot of California wines, because they’re so wonderful.”

A special wine pairing menu is offered for early diners. Those carefully selected meals “can introduce wines our guests may not have tried before — to give

them something different to try, and to expand their palate,” Beydoun said.

And every Wednesday, bottles of wine are half-price. “It allows (guests) to try something that might be out of their price range, or try something new,” said Beydoun.

On a recent Saturday, I watched whitecaps on the storm-tossed waves take on a warm glow as the sun set just up the coastline, and a singer began to croon the evening’s live entertainment.

The winds may have been too strong for the tiki torches that night, but the scene was magical anyway.

“We’re just very lucky to be in such a beautiful location,” Beydoun said.

“It’s just a really special spot.”

Mediterranean Gourmet is at 5-7132 Kuhio Highway, four miles north of Hanalei. It is open daily for lunch and dinner, with a Tuesday luau and Sunday brunch. Many dishes are designated gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian, even halal or kosher.

For reservations or more information, call 826-9875 or go to www.kauaimedgourmet.com.

ust sit right back And you’ll hear a tale A tale of a tasty drink, That started from a tropic restaurant, And not a tiny ship.”

This is actually the tale of the Ginger & Gilligan, a fun and spicy drink served up at Mediterranean Gourmet.

Named in honor of the filming of “Gilligan’s Island” on Kauai (the pilot and first episode were filmed here in 1963), the tropical drink just might inspire one to take a three-hour dinner tour.

The Ginger & Gilligan ($9) is made with fresh ginger

and cucumber, muddled with lemon, and shaken with Russian Standard Vodka. A splash of lemonade adds a bit of sweetness.

“It’s really refreshing,” promised owner Yarrow Beydoun.

“Russian Standard Vodka is a top-shelf vodka that allows those flavors to shine through.”

Beydoun was right. The Ginger & Gilligan packs some heat from the fresh ginger, and the vodka certainly made itself known. But those flavors were cooled nicely by the cucumber and lemonade.

It was so good, I was tempted to munch on the muddled cucumber left in the bottom of the glass when the drink was gone.

Maybe not as classy as Ginger — but somehow I don’t think Gilligan would have minded.

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JAKE COYLE

The abs strike back in ‘300’ sequel

T

he glistening abs are back in “300: Rise of an Empire,” and they’ve been doing crunches.

Like its forerunner, the 2007 hit “300,” “Rise of an Empire” again plunges us into bloody, hyper-stylized Greek history: mythology with muscles. The computer-generated warfare franchise is now a third of the way to a six-pack.

Made clearly to capitalize on the popularity of “300,”“Rise of an Empire” is something like collected behind-the-scenes from the Persian invasion featured in “300.” Whereas the first film chronicled, ab by ab, the Spartans’ heroic stand in the Battle of Thermopylae against Xerxes’s Persian invasion, “Rise of an Empire” is about the concurrent naval fight, the Battle

of Artemisium.

This may be war by sea, but the ingredients of “300” are largely unaltered. An outnumbered band of Greeks staves off a tyrannical Persian army below roiling skies of red and gray. Manly honor is fetishized to a comical degree.

Blood spills like soup.

These two films, very much intertwined, provoke a number of questions: Did everyone forget their shirts? Is this a workout video? Or is this just the most absurdly ridiculous thing ever?

Yes and no. In “Rise of an Empire,” Zack Snyder moves from the director’s chair to producer (and co-screenwriter with Kurt Johnstad), leaving Noam Murro to helm the film. But Snyder’s imprint is unmistakable, with his visual style carried over,

mimicking the extremes of Frank Miller’s comic book illustrations (the inspiration of both movies).

These are easy films to make fun of. It’s why perhaps the best thing to come out of “300” was

the viral video “It’s Raining Men,” a clip of the movie’s Mediterranean men in various states of brotherly togetherness, set to the disco tune.

But they’re also precisely the movies they seek to be:

Some kind of grandly warped, excessively heightened dream of mythical battle. It’s as if Douglas Sirk made a combat video game.

At least it’s the women who reign in “Rise of an Empire,”

though one wouldn’t expect that given its seconds into the film when naked breasts make their first gratuitous appearance. The male actors here — Sullivan Stapleton as the Greek hero Themistokles, Santoro, back as the bronzed Xerxes — are easily outdone by the females.

There is Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey of “Game of Thrones”) lordly presiding over Sparta. But as Persian commander Artemisia, Eva Green rules ferociously over the film. She drives the Persians with a warrior’s desperate thirst for revenge and a stare that makes the men of her army cower.

It’s like a reckoning of the macho multitudes of “300.”

She single-handedly spoils the landscape of manly torsos.

Time to believe in magic Songwriting Hall of Famer to perform at Kauai Beach Resort LISA ANN CAPOZZI TGIFR!DAY

H

e played at Woodstock, he played at Carnegie Hall and this weekend , the founder of The Lovin’ Spoonful group from the 60s, will play at the Jasmine Ballroom in the Kauai Beach Resort.

“I’m a very privileged guy,” John Sebastian said. “I’m overjoyed to play and write music.”

His original songs included, “Do you believe in magic?”“You didn’t have to be so nice,” “Daydream,” “Younger girl,” “Did you ever have to make up your mind?”

“Summer in the city,” and “Younger generation,” many of which became top 10 hits immediately back in the 60s.

Six years ago, Sebastian was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and 14 years ago his band “The Lovin’ Spoonful,” was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He says he never gets tired of playing fan favorites.

“Do it in Kauai,” he said with conviction.

“You won’t feel bad repeating a song people know.”

Sebastian will play guitar and harmonica and share stories about how his tunes came about.

“I’ve been enjoying some of the fruits of playing music for most of my lifetime,”

he said. “On this tour (three islands) I remembered coming here with my wife in the 70s and now I’m kicking myself for not buying property back then.”

One of Sebastian’s other memories is of when his first hit, “Do you believe in magic” hit the top 10.

“I used the money from that song to buy a new Gibson,” said Sebastian. “My other guitar had been stolen out of a car in New York City.”

Greenwich in New York was where it all began for Sebastian at The Night Owl Café where the inspiration began for “Do you believe in magic?”

“It was where the girls from Queens started to come down to Greenwich to hear us play,” said Sebastian.

The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. Sunday. Prices are $40 and VIP tables are $65. Visit www. lazarbear.com (Gold Circle) or call (808) 896-4845.

ay Domingo of The Starlighters said it best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when you see women in the military, take time to pay tribute and honor them for their service.

The Kauai Veterans Council launched its year of honoring women in the military â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Active Duty and Veterans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night at the (Veterans) Museumâ&#x20AC;? gala featuring The Starlighters.

Major General Mary Kay Hertog, retired, was the keynote speaker, noting that in addition to women in the military, spouses of military servicemen should also be honored for the courage and sacrifice they make in their lives.

Johnette Chun, adjutant for the KVC, said the honor will include having allwomen color guards, whenever possible, and women speakers at the major veteran observances throughout the year, including Memorial Day, July 4 celebrations and climaxing with Veterans Day and the Veterans Day parade.
