Pele was right all along, other top Hawaii news

A volcanologist finds parallels between the legends of old Hawaii and modern geologic research

It's no surprise to Lance Taketa, 31, that the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau show Hawai'i has the highest home values and rental costs in the nation.

More cuts are being proposed at the state's Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.


A debate for decades is rekindled as Honolulu considers allowing more vacation rentals and bed and breakfast businesses. But, some feel the move might be a slippery slope for other development and could be disastrous for their quiet neighborhood.

On Tuesday, the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa will go before the Maui Planning Commission seeking approval to add 310 lodging units and other amenities that would cost $250 million.

Kaua‘i Police Chief Darryl Perry said he has withdrawn his name from consideration to be the Honolulu Police Department’s top cop.
