Though the festival is free, patrons may purchase a passport that allows them to receive exclusive chocolate and coffee tastings, discounts and a tote bag. “That costs $12 in advance online at our website, or if they want to buy them at the fest that goes up $18 while supplies last,” she said. Hammond said the festival is a fundraiser for the Hanapepe Economic Alliance. “We’re trying to help the businesses in Hanapepe,” she said. “This is one of the ways to try and support local busi-

ness and local industry.” “Hawaii has very good chocolate that we are able to grow,” she added. “We’re seeing a lot more people putting plants into the ground and a lot more manufacturers and retailers of the product.” Hammond said it’s important to focus on coffee and cacao, and this event is an opportunity to focus on those agricultural industries. “We want to be (protective) of these industries and they can help us be more sustainable and create jobs,” she said. “We have really high quality that we can really garner.” About 25 business will be participating in the two-day event. Stores and shops in

Hanapepe will have special activities and workshops that will highlight the two crops. “We set up a tent in the end of town, behind the fire station, where we bring in vendors and let people walk through and can actually sample the different products that are available and purchase,” Hammond said. Workshops will be spread throughout the town as well. “We have one called Coffee at the Brain, so you get to taste it and you get a free coffee mug,” she said. “We have another one by a TEDx speaker, Will Lydgate. He runs Dennis Fujimoto/The Garden Island Joe Grass farms. He’ll be doing Tiffany Carolan and Amy Hammond attend the inaugural Kauai Chocolate and Coffee Festival ‘Changing the way we taste in this Oct. 29, 2015, file photo. chocolate.’”

“The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance” by Henry Petroski is an excellent study on this very point (pun intended). The pencil’s fascinating and unexpected origins will surely surprise you, as will the varied and important function their very existence has had upon the entirety of humanity. CYNTHIA & ED JUSTUS The pencil’s history extends back SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY thousands of years, but really only found its familiar form in the last loha readers! “Pencils up! Ready? century.

royal family’s relationship and visits with the residents of Kalaupapa. “Queen Emma’s wonderful letters that she wrote are something a lot of people don’t know about,” said Charles “Chucky Boy” Chock, director of exhibits/special events for the Kauai Museum. “These letters really show how passionate the queens were to their people and land and how much they cared for the people of Kalaupapa.” Developed by Ka ‘Ohana O Kalaupapa, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of every individual who was sent to Kalaupapa because of government mandated policies regarding leprosy, now known as Hansen’s disease, the exhibit will show the “beauty and true connection” of Kalaupapa’s relationship with the royal family, Pam Chock said. Pam and Charles Chock both stressed how Hawaiian history has been sensationalized by the likes of Hollywood in movies that take away the true beauty of Kalaupapa and diminishes the impact the royal family had on its people. Their hope is that this exhibit changes that perspective. “It’s a wonderful reflection of Hawaii’s history,” Pam Chock said. “The history has been so sensationalized, but it’s not all true.”

c w e n

The exhibit will feature stories and recollections of the royal family’s visits to Kalaupapa that have been recently transcribed and deciphered from Hawaiian into English. These transcripts have been deciphered over the past decade as an on-going process by author Anwei Law, who has deciphered over 300 letters written in Hawaiian regarding the people of Kalaupapa, according to Valerie Monson, coordinator and one of the founding members of Ka ‘Ohana O Kalaupapa. “The stories that are going to be told from the interpretations of the letters, which have never been done before,” Charles Chock said. “They deciphered the letters that were all in Hawaiian.” An educational experience for those who care about the history of Kalaupapa, this exhibit offers an experience for students in high schools and middle schools that they won’t learn in the classroom, according to Pam Chock. Monson will be giving guided tours of the exhibit at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday. “This exhibition returns the people of Kalaupapa to the history that they created,” Monson said. “They’ve been left out of history.” The exhibit will open its doors at 10 a.m. on Saturday until 5 p.m at the regular admission price (kama‘aina, $10, general public, $15, seniors, $12).

he sound of taiko echoed stereophonically as Taiko Kauai and the Joyful Noise took the stages inside and outside the Kauai Veterans Center during the recent Matsuri, translated to mean “festival,” hosted by the Japanese Cultural Society of Kauai. Taiko combined with the various Japanese dances, including a mini bon dance performed to Taiko Kauai’s Fukushima Ondo, graced the celebration of Japanese culture that resonated

throughout the Kauai Veterans Center. A popular stopping point was the kimono dressing station where keiki were expertly wrapped in the Japanese formal attire. Japanese culture-based food, including the popular bento lunch and sushi, whet the appetites of festival goers, enhanced by the demonstration of Japanese soba, a noodle dish, performed by visiting Japanese sister city representatives. Other demonstrations included bonsai, mochi making, kendo and more.
