ee Tonouchi says he was born Pidgin, and on Oahu.

Pidgin is in his DNA, entwined in his every being, due to the fact that everybody in his family speaks “da Pidgin,� and Tonouchi writes it for a living. “Das da kine Pidgin immersion li’dat,� Tonouchi says of his introduction into the world of Pidgin.

He created his first book on the language in 2001 with his book “Da Word,� which was published

by Bamboo Ridge. Several other publications soon followed that Tonouchi edited and wrote. “I get one book of Pidgin essays called ‘Living Pidgin’ that came out in 2002 from Tinfish Press,� Tonouchi says of his literary feats. “I edited ‘Da

from Bess Press in 2011.

That one won da Association for Asian American Studies Book Award. An ’den I get one Pidgin children’s picture book coming out later this year, too, called ‘Okinawan Princess.’”

In 2015, after a five-year U.S. Census Bureau survey was conducted on 325,000 Hawaiian residents, Pidgin was added as an official language of Hawaii, joining over 100 census list recognized languages. Although English and Hawaiian are technically the co-official languages of the state, Pidgin stands as a third unofficial language that is used to talk story amongst kanaka maoli and other kama‘aina.

According to the New Pocket Hawaiian Dictionary, published by the University of Hawaii, “‘olelo pa‘i ‘ai” literally translates to “hard-taro speech” in English. According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, “Pidgin” means “A simplified speech used for communication between people with different languages.”

For Tonouchi, there’s one word in Pidgin he’s coined

Right now my favorite one is one that I coined — ‘nomonomoono,’ for when I

went UH and for one sophomore lit class da teacher wuz using one book called The Best of Bamboo Ridge,” Tonouchi said. “Inside dea had one poem called “Tutu on da Curb” by Eric Chock.

Seeing that I wuz blown away, ‘cuz, I thought, ‘Wow, get guys writing in Pidgin,’ and we wuz studying ‘em in college. Ho, dat means you gotta be smart for study Pidgin! So seeing Pidgin

models, da’s what inspired me for try write Pidgin, too.”

Lee Tonouchi “Da Pidgin Guerilla” / On his invention of a new Pidgin phrase

——

that’s leaving some people scratching their heads.

“Right now my favorite one is one that I coined — ‘nomonomoono,’ for when I write for frolichawaii. com,” Tonouchi said. “Das Hawaii’s bestest food blog.

Lotta people no can figgah ‘em out. But it’s candy, brah. Jus’ gotta break up da word. No mo no mo ono. There is nothing more delicious.”

It’s not all fun and games for Tonouchi, who hopes that people learn from his books like “Livin Pidgin: Contemplations on Pidgin Culture.” He hopes his readers learn that Pidgin is one language, and that just like learning any other language, the more you know, “da more powah to you.”

“I guess comparing our Pidgin to world Pidgins, Creoles and dialects, da amazing ting about Hawaii Pidgin is how supa-fast it went from being one Pidgin to becoming one Creole, one full-blown language,” Tonouchi said of comparing Pidgin to any other language. “So though we call ‘em ‘Pidgin,’ it’s not really one Pidgin. Pidgin stay one Creole, and it

became one full language in da time span of one generation back during da plantation era.”

The language was something that he was exposed to through living with his Kaimuki grandparents when he was small and then later in life when his Maui grandmother came to live with his family.

“So growing up I had lotta exposure to old-school Pidgin,” he said of the early Pidgin days. Nowadays for Tonouchi, he has turned that early exposure from his grandparents into a successful literary career that is supplemented by an active theatrical role that Pidgin is at the center of.

“Da last play I wrote wuz ‘UchinaAloha,’” Tonouchi says. “I even had one Pidgin play in LA at East West Players. That play, ‘Three Year Swim Club,’ wuz one Los Angeles Times Critics’ Choice Selection.”

With all the Pidgin that Tonouchi has studied and written, it all stems from a simple inspiration he got even after he was exposed to Pidgin as a child.

HANDS-ON CHOCOLATE-MAKING EXPERIENCE COMING TO WAIPA

Classes offer chance to learn about processing, tasting TGIFR!DAY

C

hocolat Hanalei and the Waipa Foundation will collaborate in chocolate-making classes on the North Shore.

Classes starting April 27 will be weekly on Saturday mornings at the kitchen at Waipa. They will be conducted by chocolatier Irmgard Mitchell and her assistant Maddie Taylor.

In 2013, Mitchell started planting cacao trees by seed on her five-acre farm in Wainiha.

Next came building a commercial kitchen on the farm in Wainiha, which was approved in August 2015.

“In September 2015 we opened a small retail shop in the Ching Young Village in Hanalei,” Mitchell said. “We are now producing our own Kauai-grown chocolate to make our ‘powerhouse bars,’ a 70 percent dark chocolate bar.

Most of the other confections sold at the store in Hanalei are passion fruit, ginger, macadamade with chocolate grown on mia nuts, bananas and more are Oahu. Other ingredients, like sourced locally if available.

All confections are locally handcrafted in their commercial kitchen in Wainiha.

Mitchell likes to say “A day without chocolate is like Hanalei without a sunset!”

Fruit trees on the family farm “provide a year-round treasure trove of sweet, delicious treats, including the bright pods of the cacao trees. This all inspires us to create decadent, hand-crafted tropical chocolates unlike anything you have ever experienced,” she said.

Classes will offer a chance to

learn much about chocolate, the processing and, finally, the molding and enrobing. Participants will learn how to temper chocolate by hand, not by machine, and use local inclusions as seasonally available to create their own confections, Mitchell said.

“This is a very hands-on workshop, and you will learn skills you can use at home,” Mitchell said.

‘LITTLE’ HERALDS BIG-TIME ARRIVAL OF MARSAI MARTIN JAKE COYLE ASSOCIATED PRESS

S

ince Hailee Steinfeld rode into town in “True Grit,” we’ve been fairly blessed by the big-screen

breakthroughs of teenage actresses. To name just a few: Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Witch”), Amandla Stenberg (“The Hate U Give”), Elsie Fisher (“Eighth Grade”).

Add Marsai Martin to the list. And at just 14-years-old

MOVIE REVIEW

— 13 when the cameras rolled — she’s one-upped them all. Along with starring in “Little” (two and a half stars out of four), Martin is also an executive producer, the

youngest credited in Hollywood history. She is, quite literally, a boss.

And Martin, a tiny tyrant beneath a Diana Ross-sized afro, is the number one reason to see “Little.” The movie, itself, is a middling “Big”-

styled body-swap comedy.

But it’s elevated considerably the verve and charisma of its cast, which also features Issa Rae and Regina Hall.

But there’s a special pleasure in seeing someone front-and-center for the first

time that you know is going to hold the spotlight. Martin, the “black-ish” star, helped conceive of “Little,” and the film, fittingly, is itself a kind of fable of self-empowerment.

SEE ‘LITTLE’, PAGE 5

TGIFR!DAY | Friday, April 12, 2019 | 5

‘Little’ Continued from Page 4

An enjoyably overthe-top Hall (playing a far crueler boss than her “Support the Girls” supervisor) stars as Jordan Sanders, a high-powered executive who runs her Atlanta tech company with a Scrooge-level degree of abuse for all who encounter her, including her many employees and, most of all, her assistant, April (Rae).

When Jordan insults a wand-wielding young girl (“You chocolate Hogwart!”), a spell is cast, and the next morning Jordan awakes as her 13-year-old self (Martin).

The premise is overly familiar (“Freaky Friday,” ‘’13 Going on 30”), but there’s

an obvious twist. After a panicked Jordan summons April to her high-rise apartment for help, April refutes the movie’s very premise:

“But that’s for white people.”

Looking for answers, she quickly googles “Female Gary Coleman disease.”

They’re good lines in

a movie that could have used more of them. Child services (Rachel Dratch) is called in. Jordan is sent back to her old school

where, as seen in a flashback that opens the movie, she initially resolved to become the bully rather than the bullied. Jordan introduces herself as the “new alpha” and makes eyes at her teacher (Justin Hartley), purring, “Teach me somethin’.”

Just as Jordan will have to learn to soften, April will have to toughen. When Jordan is small, April is thrust into running the company.

While having as much of Rae, the gifted creator and star of “Insecure” is very welcome, director Tina Gordon Chism (screenwriter of “Drumline” and “What Men Want”), who co-wrote the film with Tracy Oliver, gets a little caught between story lines and tones. The comedy opportunities are riper for “Little” in the classroom,

but the movie ends up feeling more like a workplace comedy. Chism might have been better served daring more adult humor, or being content with the PG-13-rated “Little” as family entertainment.

The pacing is sluggish when it should be quickening, and nothing in how “Little” turns out will surprise anyone. Yet the trio of Hall, Rae and Martin makes “Little” a consistently pleasant experience. Martin isn’t just playing a version of her “black-ish” character, but is effectively channeling Hall’s performance in miniature.

She’s going to be big.

“Little,” a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some suggestive content.

Running time: 109 minutes.

LIFE IS BETTER WITH DOGS AT OUR SIDES BILL BULEY TGIFR!DAY

I

f you love dogs, or even if you don’t, you should read “The Divinity of Dogs: True Stories of Miracles Inspired by Man’s Best Friend,” by Jennifer Skiff.

Whenever I need to reminded about the joy that dogs can add to our lives, I read a few of the short stories in this book that was published in 2012 and was a gift.

Since I have a difficult time plowing through long books with intricate plots and characters, “The Divinity of Dogs” is perfect when I have a few minutes and could use some inspiration. Stories are short, compelling and emotional.

Skiff has compiled amazing tales that reflect what dogs do best: Give us unconditional love. There are stories about love, about healing, about loyalty, about compassion and about dying. Admittedly, some of the stories that end with a dog’s death, or tell of the abuse of a dog,

are not exactly uplifting — until you realize you need to focus on the delight that dog brought to the lives of the people it met. Some of these stories will bring tears to your eyes.

Skiff puts it well in her introduction: “My dogs have been the reason I have woken up every single day of my life with a smile on my face.

They have protected me from mean people and have given me insight into potential partners. They have been my children and my parents. They have loved me the most. I rank among the millions of people who appreciate the souls of dogs and know they are a gift of pure love and an example of all that is good. More than anything, they have taught me how to be a better person.”

Here are just a few passages by some of the authors of the short stories in “The Divinity of Dogs.” ◗ “There is an old quote that says, ‘I have always wanted to be the man my dog thinks I am.’ That’s my goal. Gunny is helping me

achieve it. He’s a true friend and teacher to everyone. I’m just the lucky one who gets to take him home each night.” — Gary Corneer ◗ “Hemingway started out as an unwanted stray, homeless and abandoned. Someone overlooked his many gifts. In this case, one man’s loss was another man’s and many dogs’ gain. Hemingway was one of the kindest, gentlest, most

giving souls I have ever met. He was a celestial being, in tune to every person and animal he came in contact with. He truly seemed to be from another world in his ability to provide comfort just with his presence.” — Dion Genovese ◗ “I went to Hughes and grabbed him, kissed him, hugged him, and gave him loads of loving. ‘What a good boy,’ I repeated over and over. I gave him some treats, and he went wild playing with them.

At that moment, I realized that this dog knew much more than I was willing to give him credit for. The door to my mind and heart had been thrown open.” — Amanda Fadden ◗ “I had eleven wonderful years with my soul mate. Sheba taught me that every morning is like Christmas morning, something to get excited about. And every car trip is an adventure, where the driver must be licked on the ear from the back seat. She showed me how to enjoy the simple things in life: lazing in the sun, sniffing the air,

NORAH JONES IS UNRESTRAINED IN ‘BEGIN AGAIN’ RAGAN CLARK ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

orah Jones grew to be a household name after her 2002 debut “Come Away With Me” — an album that brought her five Grammys. She became a jazz sweetheart overnight, but quickly established that she did not want to be boxed into one genre.

Following her early success, Jones began to wander toward folk influences before

dappling in electronica, collaborating with Danger Mouse with 2012’s “Little Broken Hearts.” Jones made a return to jazz with 2016’s “Day Breaks” and has now released a collection of singles in “Begin Again.”

The seven-song project harnesses Jones’ ability to tap into other musical streams while maintaining a central jazz feel. Electronic influences are less pronounced than in “Little Broken Hearts” yet more present than in “Day Breaks.”

“My Heart Is Full” plays

MUSIC REVIEW

with reverb as Jones’ sultry voice echoes and bounces, commanding attention. The distorted vocals in “Just a Little Bit” make the song playful, without detracting from the quality of Jones’ writing.

Mirroring techniques used by artists like Bon Iver, “A Song With No Name” mixes the delicate with the experimental, striking a fantastic balance.

It’s a distinct Jones’ song, with post-production vocal texture.

“It Was You” pulls no bells or

whistles, coasting into a jazz number decorated with horns and a thundering piano.

As a collection of singles, “Begin Again” is less concerned with generating a cohesive feel throughout the album — perhaps allowing Jones more creative license song to song.

It’s an entertaining assortment of Jones unrestrained. And as a woman who has accumulated nine Grammys and has seven albums (not to mention two collaborative albums) under her belt, why have any restraint?

rolling in the grass, going for a long walk, or just hanging out with your best friend.” — Linda Pugh ◗ “Since that fateful day when I stared into the eyes of a severely burned puppy and saw love where there should have been loathing, or at the very least fear, I have not been the same. When my mind clouds with petty grudges or minor grievances or when I am pulled down by life’s struggles, I have only to think of Phoenix and her forgiving ways to redirect my steps back to the high road. This one special dog taught me that with so much joy in the world, it’s a shame to waste time on anything else.” — Vivian Jamieson If anyone wants to borrow this book, I’ll be glad to lend it to you.

But be prepared a roller-coaster ride of emotions as you hear about the lives of these dogs that gave so much for people.

The audience from both events freely mingled through each showcase, the younger members eagerly diving into the array of keiki acitivities spearheaded by the 4-H program, and shoppers from the garden fair experiencing the unique Scouting offerings of its perennially favorite rope bridge that was supplemented by the Sea Scouts’ bosun’s chair.

Vendors sprawled over the tent city welcomed shoppers getting a respite from presentations by the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, and free beet seeds were available through the Master Gardeners as the featured vegetable for this year’s Kauai County Farm Bureau Fair that will be held during the Admissions Day weekend in August at Vidinha Stadium in Lihue.
