Kyōgen – A Traditional Japanese Comic Form
2017-05-02 14:00 - 15:00 | Kihei Public Library, 35 Waimahaihai St, Kihei, HI, 96753, United States
Kyōgen, a traditional Japanese comic form, will be performed by the University of Hawaii At Manoa’s Asian Theatre Program.
Two Great Lords (Futari Daimyō ), a play from The Traditional repertory, brings the spirit of kyōgen to life as a passerby is commandeered by great lords out traveling, to carry their sword. In this delightful “weak overcoming the strong” parable, the passerby turns the tables on them, relieving them of their belongings, and yet somehow leaves them, and the audience, in laughter.
Program is sponsor by a generous donation from the Schindler family, through the Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i . This is a production of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Outreach College’s Statewide Cultural Extension Program with additional funding provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Program schedule is subject to change. Contact the library 15 days in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if special accommodations are needed.

This richly imagined novel, set in Hawai'i more than a century ago, is an extraordinary epic of a little-known time and place—and a deeply moving testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.Rachel Kalama, a spirited seven-year-old Hawaiian girl, dreams of visiting far-off lands like her father, a merchant seaman. Then one day a rose-colored mark appears on her skin, and those dreams are stolen from her. Taken from her home and family, Rachel is sent to Kalaupapa, the quarantined leprosy settlement on the island of Moloka'i. Here her life is supposed to end—but instead she discovers it is only just beginning. With a vibrant cast of vividly realized characters, “Moloka'i” is the true-to-life chronicle of a people who embraced life in the face of death.

Oil Crops: Avocado, Mac Nut & Pili Nut with Wade Bauer
Avocados are an easy way to get most of the fat we need in our diets in a delicious buttery fruit! Mac nut and pili nut also covered.
Each class starts promptly with a lecture and Q&A before hands-on farm learning ~ Come prepared with notepad and writing utensil, closed toed shoes, sun hat, and gloves.
This class is part of the Plant Aloha Permaculture Series facilitated by Wade Bauer.
The goal is to teach local residents how to efficiently grow their own food at home to provide a fresh organic balanced diet. From field or backyard to table all the crops necessary are covered including their propagation, cultivation, harvest, preservation, and use. Permaculture tools and techniques focus on easy and practical ways to create food abundance at home. Every class is a blend of practical theory and hands on projects. Occasionally, free plant starts will be available.
Locally, this series will help increase food security and resiliency to natural disaster in Hawaii by relocalizing and diversifying our food supply. Globally, this series also helps reduce transportation of food, which will decrease carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Culturally, these classes cover polynesian and pacific island crops and farming methods, which help preserve traditional Hawaiian horticultural practices. Plants from around the world that are already in use in Hawaii, will be highlighted, showcasing the multicultural heritage that makes present day Hawaii and our grinds unique and ono-licious.
Plant Aloha is supported, in part, by the County of Hawaii, Research & Development. We are still looking for support to complete and enhance this amazing project. Please give what you can:

Wildfire Preparedness in the Koai‘a Tree Sanctuary
2017-05-06 08:00 - 12:00
May is Wildfire Preparedness Month! Join The Kohala Center’s Kohala Watershed Partnership crew on Community Wildfire Preparedness Day (Saturday, May 6) from 8 a.m. to noon as we remove fountain grass and lantana in the Koai‘a Tree Sanctuary on Kohala Mountain. Both of these non-native weeds increase the risk of wildfires and impede the growth of native vegetation that is essential to capturing and retaining moisture. Hundreds of volunteers have helped us plant thousands of native trees over the years, so let’s protect these precious plants by reducing the risk of wildfires this summer!
This volunteer day is organized in partnership with the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, which is offering prizes for the best photos and stories from Wildfire Preparedness Month! You could win Kaleo the Pueo t-shirts and hats, WaveWing hydrofoil surfing fins, Starbucks gift bags (each with 1 lb. coffee and tumbler), Smokey gear from Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife, and more. Simply post your photos or stories on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter with the hashtag #WildfireReadyHI or email them to admin@hawaiiwildfire.org by June 1.
