December brings tunes, art and science to KCC CHRIS D’ANGELO TGIFR!DAY

W

ith the holiday season in full swing, Kauai Community College is bursting at the seams with festive happenings.

“We’ve got a lot of things planned,” said KCC Associate Professor of Music Greg Shepherd.

The KCC Instrumental Music Ensembles have announced their Winter Concerts, which kick off 7 p.m. Saturday with free performances by the Wind Symphony and Jazz Ensemble at the KCC Performing Arts Center.

The Jazz Ensemble will perform tunes by Thad Jones and the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, with KCC’s own Peggy Lake featured as the jazz vocalist for the evening.

The Wind Symphony will tackle selections from Disney’s “The Lion King,” the classic march “Semper Fidelis” and a number of holiday favorites.

On Tuesday, KCC kicks off its weeklong Art and Music Expo, an exhibit featuring a variety of works by students in the digital media department, digital photography, painting and illustration, ceramics and film.

The opening reception will kick off with an hour-long performance of Christmas songs by Shepherd’s Vocal Ensemble.

“It’s a nice mix,” the director said. “Several of the kids have never had any kind of music or chorus before, and they’re really

And the ones who have had music before, or singing experience, are really keen on doing solos. So we have a good variety.”

The expo begins at noon Tuesday in the KCC One Stop Center.

The second concert in the Winter Concert Series is Dec. 13 and features a free performance by the KCC Symphony Orchestra.

The orchestra will perform a medley from Tim Burton’s “A Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Canon in D” by Johann Pachelbel, an “Overture” by Mozart, a charming and festive string piece by Albinoni and other holiday tunes.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center.

KCC is the only community college in the University of Hawaii

system that has a full instrumental music program.

Late last month, the community college kicked off its Science and Technology Hoike, showcasing student internship projects on ocean debris, water quality, beach erosion and how to control weeds.

The poster and video exhibit continues daily from 8 a.m. to 4

p.m. through Dec. 11.

A total of 13 science and technology internships were made possible with community partners, including The Edge of Kauai, the Surfrider Foundation, KCC’s Electronics Technology Program and Science and Mathematics Division.

The Eastside Cafe VESSELINA JELIAZKOVA SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

S Now On Sale Serving The Kauai ‘Ohana Since 1992

ince April, the Eastside Cafe, previously known as simply The Eastside, has a new owner.

Vaclav Burger, originally from Czech Republic, has been in the restaurant business for 20 years and is also the owner of a restaurant called “Little Prague” in Davis, Calif.

With a corner location, 4-1380 Kuhio Highway, Kapaa, and glass walls all around, the restaurant has an upscale feel. Beautiful drawings of Hawaii’s nature decorate the walls and native

flowers’ pictures cover the tables. The establishment offers Pacific Rim cuisine targeted to the local as well as visiting clientele.

However, Vaclav prides himself with the occasional special touch of his wife’s recipes.

“All different styles and twists come from my wife Eva. Mrs Burger, who is a pastry chef, is also behind a lot of the restaurant’s specials,” he said.

The day of my visit, I was offered as an appetizer of a half cut papaya filled

with turkey breast prepared in a shrimp cocktail style. I must say I was a little hesitant to eat it, since it looked like a strange combination, but it took one bite to appreciate the mixture of tastes and flavors. It came with little toasted bread pieces covered with tasty spices that gave the dish a finished look and taste.

As a main dish, I had the Togarashi Seared Ahi Tuna (Cilantro lime rice, sambal dressed Asian slaw, lemongrass butter sauce, $33). If you are looking for a filling dish, this one will do the trick.

The Eastside Bar VESSELINA JELIAZKOVA SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

T

he Eastside Cafe bar is proud to use fresh fruits for its fruit cocktails.

“I know because I do it myself,” said bartender Heidi Padilla.

Every night they have a special cocktail and the evening of my visit it was a strawberry mojito (rum, muddled lime and mint, strawberry puree, shaken and toped with sprite with a grapefruit and mint garnish).

It was refreshing and delicious with the strawberry puree giving it an additional summer fun touch.

Some of the drinks that caught my eye were: Ha-

waiian mojito-white rum, fresh mint, lilikoi and lime juice; lychee martini- triple distilled vodka, lychee fruit and juice and strawberry papaya punch- triple distilled vodka, fresh strawberry puree, papaya, pineapple and coconut juice (all $9).

The fresh fruit in mine made a difference in the taste and I assume it shows in the rest I didn’t get to try as well.

The restaurant also offers wines that owner Vaclav Burger picks himself.

“We offer affordable wine,” he said.

The Eastside Cafe is an

upper-class restaurant with reasonable prices. Longboard and Firerock beer is available on tap as well as a variety of bottled beers.

The restaurant offers many after dinner drinks such as Hennessy v.s. cognac ($10) and Courvoisier VSOP

cognac ($15).

The restaurant has a daily happy hour from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and live music every evening. On Thursdays and Fridays you can enjoy the music of Norman Kaawa and Saturday’s regular is Owner Vaclav Burgerand staff Michelle Curl with the mojito.

Kelii Kanealii.

Owner Vaclav Burger displays an item from the menu.

The fish was well done and I enjoyed the butter sauce and rice mixture.

The restaurant fruits, veggies as well as their fish and beef are local. Kalani farms in Kilauea is one of its main providers. If you need to get accommodated with a special request because of your diet — gluten sensitive, vegetarian, etc. — the restaurant can prepare your dish accordingly.

There is a special dish daily, which varies according to what’s fresh and available on the market.

I finished my meal with the Coconut Lemongrass Creme Brule with tropical fruit compote and berry sauces ($8). It was truly delicious and a good end to a filling meal.

Vaclav, who wears a lot of different hats in the restaurant, from cook, to bartender and

everything in between, is looking forward to having his wife Eva join him soon from California.

Together, the family wants to make more of its own pastries, cakes and desserts.

Their goal is to be open for breakfast as well.

The Eastside Cafe’s hours are 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily for lunch and 4 to 9 p.m. for dinner.

t seems quite apt that “The Best Man Holiday,” a film about a reunion of old friends, feels just like going to an actual reunion. In ways both bad and good.

A reunion, you see, is only fun if you went to the school and recognize your friends. It’s certainly not fun if you didn’t, but were dragged along anyway. In that case, you’ll likely end up drinking white wine in a paper cup alone by a wall, watching everyone else get silly.

Likewise, “The Best Man Holiday,” Malcom D. Lee’s sequel to his (much better) 1999 “The Best Man,” will probably be fun and pleasant for those who saw the first film. Those who didn’t may feel like they’ve been dragged to someone else’s reunion.

And that’s too bad, because the cast, reunited here, is largely excellent, led by the ever-charismatic Taye Diggs as Harper, an author with a fatal flaw: he can’t seem to stop writing about his friends and lovers.

It’s not the fault of the cast that these characters seem less fully formed the second time around. It’s the fault of a script (also by Lee) that takes shortcuts, goes for sentimental overload, gets a little too swept up in holiday trappings, and telegraphs plot developments in often groan-worthy ways. (A character inadvertently leaves an iPad containing secret material sitting on a counter. Do we really then need an ominous close-up of that iPad lying there? Give us a little credit!)

Those who saw the charming and refreshing “The Best Man” will remember that the plot centered on a wedding. This time, it’s Christmas that brings everyone together. If you like Christmas soundtracks, you’re in luck: there at least 15 Christmas songs here. If you don’t like

your Christmas music so early in the season, that’s another matter.

The setting is the suburban mansion of Lance and Mia, who married in the first movie.

Lance (Morris Chestnut) is a star with the New York Giants playing his last season, and chasing an NFL record for rushing, with time running out. Mia (Monica Calhoun) is still sweet and thoughtful, and decides to hold a Christmas reunion.

That includes Harper (Diggs) and Robyn (the lovely Sanaa Lathan), married and expecting their first child. Harper’s first book, a novel that caused all sorts of trouble in the first film, was a huge success, but as this movie begins, he’s under financial pressure. His agent suggests a winner: An autobiography with his friend the big football star. Cue more trouble.

Then there’s Jordan (an appealing Nia Long), the single and ambitious TV producer who carried a torch for Harper. She’s now dating a white man, Brian (Eddie Cibrian), a relationship that her friends comment on, but is not explored much in the movie. Julian (Harold Perrinau), who had freed himself from the vampy and manipulative Shelby (Melissa de Sousa) by the end of the first film, is now married to the sweet-hearted former stripper Candace (Regina Hall).

And happily, Terrence Howard is back to reprise his role of the rascally but somehow wise Quentin. .

And the hijinks begin. Said hijinks include an amusing boy-band number performed on the fly by the guys (We hate to be Scrooge here, but really, this number was clearly choreographed professionally and rehearsed for many hours), and some arguments that develop into fistfights.

Through peaks and valleys

hrough it all, Judee Woolley has painted.

She put paint to canvass after Hurricane Iniki hit the island in ‘92, and painted through her battle with cancer.

Actually, Woolley began painting as a coping mechanism right after the hurricane, and her health, well, she’s winning that fight.

“I just kept painting,” the Eleele gallery owner said of working through all the peaks and valleys of her journey. “And I feel gifted that I can still do it.”

Two decades into her artistic career, Woolley has created hundreds of oil paintings, realistic pieces capturing Kauai’s life and landscape.

Aloha flowers, sea turtles, chickens and Kauai’s unmistakable scenes, like the Na Pali Coast and Waimea Canyon, are images Woolley has detailed.

The images are a far cry from her artistic upbringing.

Woolley’s mother drew for the Walt Disney Co., animating famous fictional characters like Bambi.

With artistry in her blood, Woolley turned toward realistic renderings when she finally started painting after the hurricane.

“Reality is harder, but I kept working at it and working at it,” she said of the difference between cartoon and life-like.

Nowadays, animated picture shows have gone more digital than pencil and paper, but Woolley sticks to oil canvasses.

“I’ve been told I mastered the turtle,” she said. “And I take that as a compliment.”

Her paintings will be on display from 4 to 7 tonight at her gallery, Woolley World Fine Art. The pieces range in size from smaller ones for under $60, to larger, high-end, original pieces

for a couple thousand dollars each.

“I look at bright colors as very healing, so they’ll see a lot of bright colors,” said Woolley, who grew up in Sacramento and has lived on Kauai for 30 years. “I think a lot of the pieces are very soothing. I think people will pick up a lot of positive energy in there.”

The gallery, 4469 Waialo Road in the Eleele Shopping Center, has been open for a few months. Woolley had a gallery in Hanapepe, but closed it when she was

recovering from cancer.

She’s healthy and thriving as an artist now. A raffle drawing for an original piece will be part of tonight;’s open house.

“I feel very gifted,” Woolley said of her ability to keep painting through it all.

“I’m getting younger and more positive everyday at 67.”

Woolley World Fine Art’s hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30 to 5 p.m. and Sunday and Monday by appointment.
