Big Island #3 hidden culinary gem, unions ratify contract, shark bites man and Neki no threat

The Big Island is the No. 3 "hidden gem" Culinary Travel Destination in the world, according to travel Web site Away.com.

Hoping to avoid further layoffs, the Hawaii Government Employees Association has voted for a new two-year contract that includes 18 furlough days this fiscal year and 24 furlough days next fiscal year for most state workers represented by the union.

KP2, the first Hawaiian monk seal pup reared by humans from birth, and who was found "playing rough" with people on Molokai, has lost his sight and will not be re-released into the wild, said a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration official.

A part of old Hilo dies right here.

The sudden merger of go! and Mokulele airlines had a rough weekend, but executives said all of its customers got to their destinations.

Thousands of people embarked Sunday on the annual autumn pilgrimage to Hawaii Preparatory Academy in Waimea, where they searched through more than 500 pumpkins of all different sizes and shapes.

Maui shark-bite victim Scott Henrich wants to apologize.

Tropical storm Neki today remains far south of Hawaii and continues to follow a northwest track that will take it near Johnston Island tomorrow.
