KAʻŪ TROJAN CULINARY STUDENTS MADE A SPLASH ON THE KOHALA COAST over the weekend. They shared their skills with a sold-out crowd of 700 attendees at the eighth annual Big Island Chocolate Festival gala, which benefited seven island non-profits, including high school and college culinary programs. The Kaʻū Trojans team, mentored by Aina Akamu, offered Smoked Meat with Kaʻū Coffee Chocolate Barbecue Sauce. Another offering from the local high school students included Kaʻū Gold Orange Chocolate Drizzle.
Indoors and outdoors, the event spread throughout the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort on Saturday. Chocolate recipes by chefs, chocolatiers, and culinary students were critiqued on taste, texture, appearance, and creativity by a team of celebrity judges. Competitions spanned the annual two-day festival.

The festival also offered knowledge on planting to plating: a Kona cacao farm tour, cacao growing and processing seminars, how-to culinary demonstrations by chocolate industry experts and a unique chocolate and tequila pairing.
Kaʻū students, as first time competitors at the Chocolate Festival, were in the mix with famous chefs and food creators, including Mike Winder of Kailua-Kona's Loko Wraps for Best Savory, who offered a vegan dish, and Anna Hohenberger of Puna Chocolate Company for Best Plated Dessert. Pastry Chef Kalani Garcia of Four Seasons Resort Hualalai took Best Bonbon while Michelle Yamaguchi of Oʻahu's Waialua Estate Chocolate won Best Bean-to-Bar Chocolate.
Those who best dazzled the crowd with their creations earned the People's Choice Awards: Chef Dayne Tanabe of Hilton Waikoloa Village
Farsheed Bonakdar, president of the Kona Cacao Association, the organization that produces the festival noted, "It's great the field of competition is growing in the bean division, which basically critiques the quality of beans after fermentation and drying. Proper fermentation optimizes the flavor profile of chocolate."

In 2018, the largest flank eruption and caldera collapse in at least 200 years occurred on Kīlauea Volcano. It began on May 3, when a fissure erupted in the lower Puna District. In all, 24 fissures eventually erupted along a 4.2-mile-long segment of Kīlauea 's lower East Rift Zone. Fissure 8 became the dominant vent, erupting a voluminous lava flow that reached the ocean, destroying over 700 structures along the way.

AN OVERVIEW OF KĪLAUEA VOLCANO'S 2018 EVENTS will be resented on Thursday, May 2 by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientist Ingrid Johanson. Her talk begins at 7 p.m. in the University Classroom Building University of Hawaiʻi Hilo campus, 200 W. Kawili St. , Hilo

As magma drained from the summit reservoir to feed the lava flow, parts of Kīlauea 's summit caldera collapsed, by more than 1600 feet in places, accompanied by dozens of earthquakes each day. In early August 2018, the summit subsidence and earthquakes abruptly ended, and the LERZ lava effusion declined until September 5, when active lava was no longer observed at fissure 8.
Johanson presents an overview of last summer's unprecedented events on Kīlauea, including how tilt data, GPS, and satellite radar helped scientists understand what was happening in 2018, and what the volcano is doing now.
Free and open to the public. No reservations required. For more information, email askHVO@usgs.gov.
