Learning experience: Willie K takes stage Saturday $35 for regular seating, $45 for premium seating and can be purchased online at www. growkauaiteachers.org. Doors open with a silent auction beginning at 6:30 p.m.

M

aui-grown guitar virtuoso Willie Kahaialii — better known as Willie K — returns to the Garden Isle Saturday for his third concert in as many years to raise funds for “Growing Our Own Teachers” on Kauai.

He’s a musician who, after decades of entertaining, should need no introduction.

“He probably relates to the crowd better than any entertainer I’ve seen,” said GOOT President George Corrigan. “He puts on a wonderful, wonderful show.”

Over the years, Willie K has played with or opened for a long list of musical monsters, including B.B. King, Santana, Willie Nelson, Prince, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Jimmy Buffett.

In addition to his talent on the stage, Willie K has become known for his generosity — determined to help improve education on Kauai.

Corrigan said he was thrilled when Willie K agreed to do a benefit concert for the Kauai nonprofit.

“I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me?’” he remembers of hearing the news. “It’s like a godsend.”

The Willie Wonderland Christmas Concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Kauai Community College’s Performing Arts Center.

Founded in 2006, GOOT

Tickets are also available at Kapaa Business Support Services, Ukulele Mele & Friends in Kalaheo, Savage Pearls in Hanalei, King Auto Center in Lihue, Pono Market

in Kapaa.

For more information about Growing Our Own Teachers or to donate to the program, visit www.growkauaiteachers.org or call 634-9132.

You are invited to The Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay

Ball provides financial assistance to Kauai students so they can finish the final semester of their teaching degree.

Since its start, Corrigan said the organization has raised more than $200,000, which has allowed dozens of students to complete course work online through the University of Hawaii at Manoa while maintaining family and cultural ties to the island of Kauai.

In return for financial assistance, students pledge to teach on Kauai for a minimum of three years. Most of the time, however, they stay longer.

“Our mission is to give them financial assistance,” he said. “We just want you to get your degree and get into our schools.”

So far, GOOT has helped 52 students get their certification, representing about one out of four public elementary school classrooms on Kauai, according to Corrigan. Another seven students are scheduled to graduate this year and an additional six are right behind them, he said.

“Growing” and keeping teachers who have ties to the island and understand local values and customs is important, and Corrigan believes it is leading to improved test scores islandwide.

“We’re doing fairly well,” he said. “But the concert is so important for us.”

VESSELINA JELIAZKOVA SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

A

s I pulled up in front of Verde restaurant in Kapaa, I had to double check if I was at the right location. I had been to the restaurant before, but this place looked nothing like what I remembered.

Owner Maris Manzano, originally from Manila, Philippines, has put her heart and soul in the place and you can feel it. “Rustic” is the look she was going for.

“Everything is new. It is almost upscale but with a down-toearth feel,” she said.

I agree and add that she got a lounge/shabby chique effect as well.

“Once she puts her mind to it, consider it done,” said Pete Manzano, father and by the

looks of it, a huge supporter of Maris.

“She adapts well,” he added with a smile, proudly telling me about his daughter’s marketing management degree from the Philippines, as well as her real estate broker licenses from both Hawaii and California.

Verde, in business since 2008, is named after the Spanish word for green, because of the green chili peppers typical for the New Mexican cuisine that the restaurant represents.

The place was packed with laughing people, smiling servers and fabulous looking dishes.

There was music coming from the new and improved bar, where a busy bartender was preparing fun drinks.

“Look at my staff,” Maris said

Owner Maris Manzano with her father Pete Manzano. while looking around, “they run this place like it is their own. They are my support system and ohana. I couldn’t do it without them.”

Verde tries to stay local as much as possible, especially with greens. It offers various vegetarian and gluten-free items. I was welcomed with complimentary chips and two kinds of house made salsa, one of which you can now find in Costco along with their pickled veggies. I had the ahi tostada (seared rare ahi, guacamole, corn tostada, pico de galo, local greens, red chili sauce, signature aioli, $12.95). I understand why that is one of their top sellers.

The Hawaiian-Mexican combo of the fish, crispy tostada, fresh veggies and spices was a delicious match.

I finished my visit with the spiced chocolate dulce de leche cheesecake (spiced chocolate Hula Baby biscotti crumb, cinnamon-chocolate

filling, dulce de leche swirl, $7). After just one bite of the cheesecake, I had them bring me two more to go.

Overall, Verde shines. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere festive, the food fantastic and the owner keep things smooth and steady.

y finding a perfect way to have class, but still keep the down-to-earth feel of Verde restaurant, owner Maris Manzano and her staff have created a unique place.

The bar gives it an additional flavor of a comfortably upscale lounge mix.

The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Mondays are known as Margarita Mondays and, as the name implies, house margaritas are $3 all day. On Tequila Tuesdays you can save $2 off any tequila all day as well.

Every day of the week they host a happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m. with $3 house margaritas and $3 draft beer (Pacifico, Negra Modelo, Dos Equis).

Being a mojito lover myself, I had to try the ginger cilantro mojito (Bacardi Superior, Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur, club soda, lime, fresh muddled cilantro, ginger, $9). Even though I am not a big fan of ginger or cilantro flavor on their own, and put in a mojito, I wasn’t sure I’d like it. I must say that it was surprisingly refreshing. The flavors mix well for just the right sweetness.

On its reopening day Nov. 24,

Server Zaiana Huddy-Lemn and bartender Jeremy Haupt. the restaurant had a fundraiser.

Donations went to the Philippines Red Cross to help with the typhoon damages.

I think this visit was one of the few, if not the only one, I

remember where I didn’t ask for more salt or sugar to add to anything I consumed. The owner and staff must be doing something right.

“Change is the only constant

in life and no one has the monopoly of good ideas,” Maris’s dad Pete Manzano said.

I agree and believe Verde is onto something fresh, new and exciting.

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JESSICA HERNDON

AKF=Q JGQ9DK ?9AF :GGKL AF JGR=F I

nstead of the bygone damsels in distress — yes we’re talking about you Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty — the female royals of “Frozen,” Disney’s latest animated wonder, are feisty, forward and independent.

Strong female leads are fitting, as “Frozen” marks the first time a female has occupied the director’s chair in the 76 years of Disney animation features. Jennifer Lee, who wrote Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph,” as well as the screenplay for “Frozen,” co-directed the icy 3-D adventure with Disney veteran Chris Buck (“Tarzan”).

Inspired by the 19th century fairytale, “The Snow Queen,” by Hans Christian Andersen, “Frozen” marks another Disney film modernizing one of the Danish author’s stories. “The Little Mermaid” also adapted an Andersen fable.

Eight new songs, by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, work well when paired with the stunning visuals.

But none really shine with classic tour de force like a “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” — and it’s been too long since we’ve had a big Disney-stimulated hit.

But the overall message more than makes up for the film’s pitfalls. Rich in magic, perils and family ties, “Frozen” encourages us to embrace our fears, overthrow our inhibitions and find the true meaning of love.

Set in the kingdom of Arendelle, sisters Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell) are best friends who love to play in the snow.

Luckily big sis Elsa can create ice and snow with her bare hands.

When Elsa accidently zaps her sister with her sorcery during playtime, Anna is almost killed. Since their daughter can’t control her power, the king and queen send Elsa to her

room and isolate her from her sister. But the girls are left alone when their parents die in a shipwreck.

Dauntless optimist Anna tries, for years, to get her sister to come out of her room. “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” Anna sings. But Elsa, afraid of hurting her sister again, remains locked away. That is until she turns 18 and is now fit to be queen.

On her sister’s coronation day, Anna is excited to finally have a house full of people. She even plans to keep her eyes peeled for the possible swoon-worthy suitor. Like clockwork, he comes in the form of the handsome Prince Hans of the Southern Isles (Santino Fontana). Anna falls instantly and the two become engaged.

Anna’s impulsive behavior enrages her big sister, which results in Elsa freezing the kingdom.

Disgusted with the continued lack of control over her sorcery, Elsa flees up the mountain and builds her own ice palace.

On a quest to bring her sister back, Anna teams with the uncouth, ice-selling Kristoff (Jonathan Groff ), who has a lovable pet reindeer named Sven. Anna is able to convince Kristoff that if he helps her up the mountain, summer will return and he’ll be back in the ice business.

She hooks him further when she saves them from a pack of wolves.

Soon we meet an adorable snowman named Olaf (Josh Gad) who offers cute and cuddly comic relief at just the right times. When they reach Elsa, Anna is unable to coax her into returning to the kingdom. In a fit of rage, Elsa hits her sister with her powers once more and thus begins the race against time before Anna’s heart freezes over. Only the act of true love can thaw her.

The animation in “Frozen” is premium and the 3-D earmark adds to the pearly appeal of the ice and snow, but we are lacking in the sweeping romance we’ve grown accustomed to in a Disney princess movie.

Anna and Kristoff ’s flirtation, while engaging, could stand to be a bit more rapturous. But when Kristoff teases Anna about getting engaged to Prince Hans just after they’d met, you can’t help but love him — and love him for her. Cheers to “Frozen” for that message: Finally a tale for gals about love as a journey and not just something meant to save the princess (or damsel) from her unfortunate circumstance.

“Frozen,” a Disney release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some action and mild rude humor. Running time: 108 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Saving Kilauea School playground

Maureen Chung/Contributed photo

Kilauea School students play near a playground structure condemned earlier this year by the state Department of Education after it was determined to be unsafe. A fundraiser Saturday, organized by the Kilauea School PTSA, will help to offset some of the costs for a new structure.

Saturday fundraiser to offset new equipment costs DARIN MORIKI TGIFR!DAY

T

he Kilauea School Parent Teacher Student Association will host a fundraiser Saturday to offset costs for a new playground structure on the school campus.

The event, billed as the Save the Playground, Arts and Music event for adults 21 years old and older, will run from 5 to 11 p.m. at the Church of the Pacific and feature live dance performances, a silent auction, carriage rides and music by several artists, including Sashamon, Jeff Caldwell and Anjela Rose.

Tickets are $25 in advance

and can be purchased at the Beauty Bar in Princeville, Hanalei Surf, Healthy Hut, Tamba in Kapaa, The Bistro in Kilauea and at the Kilauea School office. Tickets will also be offered on the day of the event for $30.

Sue Saldana, coordinator for Kilauea School, said the effort to organize the event was prompted, in part, by the state Department of Education’s decision to condemn one of the school’s two playground structures at the beginning of the school year.

Those two structures were

built simultaneously in 2006, but Saldana said the condemned one was used by all of the school’s kindergarten through sixth-grade students and deteriorated at a faster rate.

That structure, she said, is now roped off.

Since the playground structure was condemned, she said PTSA volunteers and school faculty members have found other activities for students, such as four square, Hopscotch, and fitness exercises.

“We’re trying to accommodate the students in other ways, but I think it would be much

more fun if we had another structure,” Saldana said.

Details weren’t available Monday on what type of playground equipment the school would like to have, but Saldana said school administrators want the new structure to be geared toward kindergarten and first-grade students.

Individuals unable to attend the event but wanting to donate may send a check payable to the Kilauea School PTSA to 2440 Kolo Road in Kilauea.

efore Black Friday, there was Pink Sunday.

The YWCA’s Pink Sunday connected more than 80 Kauai businesswomen with the community last weekend. It was also a fundraising event for the nonprofit’s programs aimed at ending violence against women and children.

“It’s kind of creating a relationship with the community and reaching out to women who had no idea the (YWCA) even exists,” event chair Heather Singleton said of the event held at Kauai Veterans Center in Lihue.

Besides featuring several businesses owned by women and having plenty of grinds available, those attending were able to attend exercise classes, get massages and have mini spa treatments. There was also a belly dancing performance, a flash mob and a fashion show with five designers.

Singleton said this island has some “incredible dynamic” women who own and operate their own businesses while being mothers.

“A lot of them are young,” she said. “Some of the designers on the fashion show started designing since they were 15.”

Singleton plans to bring Pink Sunday back next year and every year thereafter.
