The British Blues Explosion tour, featuring John Mayall and Kim Simmonds, begins at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Kaua‘i Com-munity College Performing Arts Center in Puhi. Tickets start at $40 per person.

CHRIS D’ANGELOTGI FRIDAY

TGIFRIDAY | MAY 17, 2013 | 3

John Mayall, the “godfather of British blues,” wraps up a four-night Hawaiian tour

Sunday with a performance on Kaua‘i.

Over his illustrious 50-plus year career in music, Mayall has lost count of how many times he’s made it out to the Islands.

“It’s all just a blur,” he said over the phone last week. “We keep coming back regularly.”

Presented by Lazar Bear, The British Blues Explosion tour features Mayall with his band of the last ! ve years, along with a special acoustic set by Kim Simmonds, founder and guitar-ist of Savoy Brown. Simmonds will also join Mayall during his set. The Kaua‘i performance begins at 6 p.m. at the Kaua‘i Community College Perform-ing Arts Center in Puhi.

Mayall, the legendary singer-songwriter-guitarist-keyboardist, is best known as the founder of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in the 1960s, which over the years featured some names you may have heard of — Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, Jack Bruce and

Mick Taylor. “Everybody that’s ever

worked with me were chosen by me because of what they brought to the table,” Mayall said.

His comment should shine some light on what Kaua‘i fans have in store for them Sunday. Mayall’s band, formed in 2008, features Texas guitar wizard Rocky Athas, Greg Rzab on bass and Jay Davenport on drums.

Mayall said the group has “proved to be the most excit-ing” thus far and that Sunday’s audience can expect a mixed plate of old and new music.

“The way we play is ex-traordinary,” he said. “It’s been really exciting so far, and very encouraging that people have responded to my interpreta-tion of blues and jazz.”

Nearing age 80, Mayall hasn’t missed a beat. He con-tinues to perform upwards of 100 shows a year and has con-certs scheduled later this sum-mer in Brazil, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and the Czech Republic.

Just as he has since 1956, Mayall continues to ! nd plea-sure in performing for his loyal fan base.

“I love to play anywhere where there’s an audience,” he said.

For now, Mayall’s sights are set on Hawai‘i, with four concerts on four islands in four days. He said he is looking forward to the trip, although “there’s never much time to hang out and enjoy the weather.”

Tickets for the event cost $40 in advance, $55 for pre-mium seating and can be pur-chased at select island retailers, including Kaua‘i Music & Sound (Kapa’a), Papaya’s Natural Foods (Kapa‘a), Healthy Hut Natural Foods (Kilauea), Hanalei Strings & Things, Progressive Expres-sions (Koloa) and Scotty’s Music (Kalaheo).

A live auction, including a signed guitar and other instru-ments, will bene! t the Hawai-ian Lifeguard Association’s Junior Lifeguard Program. Visit www.lazarbear.com or call 896-4845 for tickets.

ALDEN ALAYVILLA SPECIAL TO TGI FRIDAY

4 | TGIFRIDAY | MAY 17, 2013

Stevenson’s Library is located at 1571 Po‘ipu Road in Po‘ipu. They are open daily, 6 p.m. to midnight. 742-1234.

Feeling adventurous? You should head on over and explore Stevenson’s Library in the Grand Hyatt Resort in Po‘ipu. Named

after novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, the restaurant o! ers a casual and intimate dining experience.

Spectacular sunset views that compliment the outdoor dining setting is just as impressive as the interior — which showcases wall after wall of shelves lined with books.

“We have books all over,” said Assistant Bever-age Manager Even Pritchard. “The owners love Robert Louis Stevenson and books, so that’s what happened — we got a library.”

I can’t think of anything better than en-joying a light dinner with a book. And at Stevenson’s Library, you can have just that. I was invited by Diann Hartman of the Grand Hyatt to visit Stevenson’s Library on Monday — sushi night.

Each Friday through Monday, Stevenson’s Library hosts sushi night.

“We do it from 6 to 9 p.m. and it’s always dif-

ferent,” Pritchard said. “The chefs do a di! erent special every night. Our two sushi chefs use their creativity and they come up with things that guest are always happy about.”

With summer approaching, Pritchard plans to possibly serve sushi on a nightly basis.

“Sushi nights are really good — it’s a hit,” Pritchard said. “We’re probably going to do it seven days because everyone loves the sushi. During the summer we might extend it to 9:30 or 10 p.m.”

The chefs at Stevenson’s Library went all out and presented four onolicious dishes — the Rainbow Roll, the Dragon Roll, a Trio of Sliders and the Prosciutto Wrapped Mahi-Mahi Satay.

The Rainbow Roll is priced at $24 and is a blend of crab mix and cucumber topped with tuna, hamachi, salmon and avocado. This is de" nitely a rainbow of combinations. The three di! erent types of " sh — tuna, hamachi and salmon — is a must for any " sh connoisseur.

Top: The Trio of Sliders, $18, consist of lilikoi barbecue pork, beef with harissa aioli and crab cake served with a spicy Asian slaw and pickles. Above: The Rainbow Roll, $24, consists of crab and cucumber topped with tuna, hamachi, salmon and avocado.

ALDEN ALAYVILLASPECIAL TO TGI FRIDAY

TGIFRIDAY | MAY 17, 2013 | 5

Top: The Prosciutto Wrapped Mahi-Mahi Satay, $14, is served with three pieces of skew-ered mahi-mahi served with avocado-mango salsa, cantaloupe and Hawaiian pepper sauce. Below: The Dragon Roll, $18, is a combination of spicy tuna, eel, avocado, cucumber, unagi sauce and sesame seed.

The avocado and the crab gives this roll a balanced texture, while satisfying one’s hunger. If you prefer sushi with some zest, then you should give the Dragon Roll a try. Priced at $18, the Dragon Roll is a combination of spicy tuna, eel, avocado, cucumber, unagi sauce and sesame seed.

Eel, at ! rst thought, might not sound ap-petizing, but it’s one of the tastiest ingredients in sushi. As much as I love the Rainbow Roll, my heart will always belong to sushi with eel and unagi sauce.

Sliders are making their way to all eateries all over the world, and at Stevenson’s Library, you get a trio of them. The Trio of Sliders are marked at $18. The three sliders mentioned are lilikoi barbecue pork, beef with harissa aioli and crab cake served spicy Asian slaw and pickles.

These sliders appear small, but combined they pack a hearty, delicious punch. The ! nal dish presented was the Prosciutto Wrapped Mahi-Mahi Satay that sells for $14. This dish is

served with three pieces of skewered Mahi-Mahi served with avocado-mango salsa, cantaloupe and Hawaiian pepper sauce. This dish did it for me.

What really intrigued me was the avocado-mango salsa. Along with the Hawaiian pepper sauce, it was the right amount of " avor with the right amount of spice. Stevenson’s Library is the place to be if you’re looking for good food, good atmosphere, a friendly sta# and an assortment at books at your disposal.

Next time you’re adventuring on the South Shore, visit Stevenson’s Library.

If you’ve ever been to Stevenson’s Library, then you would know that they have a diverse collection of drinks and handcrafted

cocktails. You name it and Stevenson’s Library probably has it.

Featured are Stevenson’s Hawaiian antioxi-dant and hydrating coolers, premium sake and its signature cocktails. This is just a small sample of what Stevenson’s Library can o# er patrons. When you stop on by and see for yourself what they have, you may have as hard a time as me to ! gure out what you want to order.

Kona Ginger FreshMeet the Kona Ginger Fresh. Like all of the

Hawaiian antioxidant and hydrating coolers, this drink sells for $12. It’s a refreshing blend of Ocean Vodka, ginger liqueur, Kona Red Antioxidant, fresh-squeezed lemon and coconut water.

This cooler is just perfect for the hot, dog days of summer. The ginger liqueur, fresh-squeezed lemon and coconut water are the dominant " avors of this drink.

If you’re not in the mood for something sweet, this is de! nitely the cocktail for you.

Chilled Sake Sampler You need to have sake with sushi. It’s an

unwritten rule. Wet your lips with the Chilled Sake Sample, $18, a trio of sake — Asian Pear, Wandering Poet and Dreamy Clouds — that will go hand-in-hand with your sushi. Asian

Pear or Moonstone is a balance of natural " avor with the fruity aroma of Asian pears.

Wandering Poet is full, crisp and " avorful.Dreamy clouds has a creamy color and iscomplex and fruity.

Mango Martini The Mango Martini, $14, was recom-

mended by Assistant Beverage Manager Evan Pritchard. He did not disappoint. The Mango Martini consists of Finlandia Mango-infused Vodka, passion fruit and lime. Simplecombination of " avors are my favorite — they are easy to make and my taste buds arenever confused.

REVIEW

ASSOCIATED PRESSDAVID GERMAIN

6 | TGIFRIDAY | MAY 17, 2013

“Star Trek Into Darkness” is like fan-boy ! ction on a $185 million budget. It’s reverential, it’s faithful, it’s steeped in

“Trek” mythology.It’s also an excessively derivative what-if rehash

of themes and interactions that came before, most of the characters lesser copies and even caricatures of the originals. The scenario’s been hijacked and rejiggered from better “Trek” plots of decades ago, the best verbal exchanges lifted nearly verbatim from past adventures.

In short, the new chiefs of Star" eet aren’t coming up with much to call their own.

They pile on the spectacle in a way that’s never been seen before in “Star Trek,” whose old big-screen incarnations were so notoriously underfunded they had to go back and borrow props, miniatures and visual e# ects from previ-ous installments. The action in “Into Darkness” is top-notch, the visuals grand, though the movie’s needless conversion to 3-D muddies the images.

But the heart is, well, halfhearted, as though the people of the 23rd century are there to mouth the standard logic-vs.-emotion, needs-of-the-many-vs.-needs-of-the-few patter of “Star Trek” to count time before the next space battle or ray-gun shootout.

“Into Darkness” opens with a splashy action sequence to again show the cockiness of Capt. James Kirk (Chris Pine) — with his willingness to " aunt the rules — and the icy intellect of half-Vulcan First O$ cer Spock (Zachary Quinto), who’s willing to sacri! ce his life to stick to the Star" eet playbook.

It’s clear these two young’uns don’t play well together, but just as the space brass is about to split them up, Star" eet is hit by savage ter-rorist attacks by mysterious desperado John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch). Kirk, Spock and their Enterprise crew are dispatched to take Harrison out with weapons that could prove the mother of all drone strikes, maintaining the usual see-how-relevant-we-are conceit of

the “Trek” cosmos.But loyalties slip and shift as the Enterprise

uncovers the strange history of Harrison andhis connections to a hawkish Star" eet admiral (Peter Weller). Along the way, Spock hits some speed bumps in his romance with Zoe Saldana’sbeautiful and brilliant Lt. Uhura, while Kirk meetsAlice Eve’s beautiful and brilliant Dr. Carol Marcus (“Wrath of Khan” fans well know who she is andher importance to “Star Trek”).

The rest of the gang keeps up their routines.Curmudgeonly Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban) gripes andmoans, helmsman Sulu (John Cho) ably steers the ship, navigator Chekov (Anton Yelchin) does his precocious shtick and engineer Scott (SimonPegg) works his technical miracles.

Fine acting has rarely been a cornerstone of“Star Trek,” but much of the “Into Darkness” castseems to have taken ham lessons from Shatner.Urban maintains the same grouchy, stick-up-his-butt expression throughout, while Chekov with his almost incomprehensible Russian accentand Pegg with his “Shrek”-thick Scottish brogue become downright cartoonish.

Though they squabble like bratty teens earlyon, Pine and Quinto eventually show sparks of the Kirk-Spock fraternal love at the core of “Star Trek.”

The big ! nd here is Cumberbatch, who joins Ricardo Montalban, Christopher Plummer and Alice Krige in a fairly limited roster of great “Trek” villains. With his rumbling voice and stony stare, the star of Britain’s detective update “Sherlock” is fearsome and relentless, a one-man army who truly seems like more than a match for poor Enterprise, all on his own.

As Director JJ Abrams moves on to “Star Wars,” it falls to some next-generation ! lm-maker to carry on “Star Trek” should more sequels follow. Abrams hasn’t really guided the franchise into deep space, but he leaves it in a good place for successors to tell some rip-roaring sci-! stories, without relying on reruns of old “Trek” moments.

The Kaua‘i Historical Society will celebrate Kaua‘i’s lively 1940s and 1950s during its annual fundraiser

Saturday. The Pa‘ina 2013 Fundraiser Banquet begins at 5:30

p.m. at the Kaua‘i Beach Resort in Nukoli‘i. Headlining the evening will be Hawaiian-born singer Melveen Leed.

“She’s always a crowd pleaser,” KHS Director Mary Requilman said. “She’s very down to earth and a wonderful singer.”

Requilman said KHS’ annual fundraiser has been ongoing since 1989, when Grace Guslander — the former general manager of the Coco Palms Resort — donated proceeds from her 80th birthday party to KHS. Later, she said the event “evolved” into what KHS calls the Royal Pa‘ina.

“We change the name every year,” Requilman said. “Each takes on a di! erent theme. We try to keep it related to Kaua‘i’s history.”

Through songs and stories, this year’s fundraiser will celebrate the lively 40s and 50s — from the post-De-pression years through World War II, to the new post-war society — when people, businesses and island life went through many changes.

At 5:30 p.m., the Jasmine Ballroom’s doors will open for no-host cocktails, music by Darryl Gonzales and a silent auction featuring antiques and estate items, jewelry, boutique clothing, home accessories, rare books, golf and dining certi" cates and resort stays.

Following a bountiful bu! et of local cuisine by chefs at the Kaua‘i Beach Resort, Emcee Maka Herrod will host the KTOH Radio Hour. Interviews will include Mike Ashman, Judge Bill Fernandez and Hobey Goodale.

Ashman, the pioneering announcer at KTOH — the

island’s " rst radio station — is the author of “Kaua‘i as it was in the 1940s and ’50s,” a memoir which inspired KHS to combine stories and songs of those decades in this year’s program.

The evening’s entertainment will conclude with a per-formance by Leed, one of Hawai‘i’s greatest singers.

“Since Melveen Leed began singing at church and family gatherings on Moloka‘i, she has developed her repertoire and her distinctive style into a memorable career of concerts worldwide and produced an amazing library of recordings through the years,” a release states. “Drawing from her CD released in 2012, ‘I Wish You Love,’ plus songs from the 1940s and ’50s, Melveen promises a lively program full of romantic ballads, jazz and country tunes.”

Malama Auctions and Appraisals will conduct the event’s live auc-tion, which will include a clamshell sink from the Coco Palms Resort.

Tickets for this event are $85 per person. Tables of ten are available for $800.

For tickets or more infor-mation contact the Kaua‘i Historical Society at 245-3373 or e-mail [email protected].

Sounds of music and laughter !lled the Puhi Theatrical Warehouse on Sunday as cast members from Kaua‘i Community Players transported a packed house into

the lives and thoughts of people from di"erent walks of life in their sixth performance of the musical “Working.”

The musical, which was directed by Ross Martineau, is based on Lois “Studs” Terkel’s best-selling 1974 non-!ction book, “Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do.”

Much like the book itself, which delves into the thoughts of people across the occupational spectrum from a parking valet to a business executive, Martineau said the musical provides an way for audience members to relate to the characters on stage.

“I would hope that people can see a little bit of themselves, their family and the people around them and come away a little bit of inspiration and respect for the unsung hero,” Martineau said. “He (Terkel) is not glorifying the doctors and lawyers — not that there’s anything wrong with that — but this is about the working man. It’s a show about every man and I’m glad that we’re able to share it with Kaua‘i.”

But getting to this point, he said, has not been an easy one and has required about a year of preparation and re-hearsals.

“It’s a labor of love,” Director Ross Martineau said. “It’s a community theater so no one gets paid — we all have second jobs — but we all just come together and try to put on a good show.”

Many of the cast members, however, took the tasks in stride as they gathered together backstage in the theater’s small dressing room before the show began.

“During our last show, it just seemed like everything was clicking with that audience,” cast member Je" Demma said. “We’re not just up there doing the show — we’re there to connect with the audience.”

Cast members Arnold Meister, Je! Demma and Delia Valentin
