		<description><![CDATA[ Hawaii Capitol (c) 2012 All Hawaii News The state Legislature plans a low-key opening day today while lawmakers look ahead to serious issues facing them during the 2012 session, such as economic recovery plans, job growth and funding for medical services. Associated Press. State lawmakers will open a new session of the state Legislature this morning with brief speeches and little other fanfare, as they take a no-frills approach given the state's uncertain economic recovery. Star-Advertiser. This time last year, lawmakers and the Abercrombie administration were scrambling for ways to shore up a nearly $850 million deficit that eventually swelled to $1.3 billion. Civil Beat. Members of the Senate Majority Caucus unveiled their priorities today for the 2012 Legislative Session. Maui Now. The board that oversees Hawaii's retirement system for state and county workers is unanimously backing a proposal to limit the amount of overtime and other nonbase pay used to calculate pensions for all employees, not just future hires. Star-Advertiser. A proposal to reform overtime rules for Hawaii public pensions didn't get any blowback Tuesday. Civil Beat. Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs saw their paychecks go up at the start of the current fiscal year — their third consecutive annual raise. Civil Beat. The state could save more than $108 million over six years and eliminate the need to send prisoners to the mainland, according to an independent study that seeks to make Hawaii's criminal justice system more efficient. Star-Advertiser. A national non-partisan research and policy analysis group completed a 7-month study of Hawai’i’s Criminal Justice System today. Hawaii Public Radio. Proposed changes to Hawaii’s criminal justice system that would speed the release of numerous accused and convicted criminals from jails and prisons were outlined today at the state Capitol. Hawaii Reporter. The Army will keep its force level about the same in Asia and the Pacific as the service looks to make cuts elsewhere, the chief of staff of the Army said. Star-Advertiser. The Hawaii Reapportionment Commission and the chief elections officer filed a motion for reconsideration on January 13, asking the Hawaii Supreme Court to review its January 6 ruling, which said the commission’s redistricting plan is “constitutionally invalid.” Hawaii Reporter. The Hawaii State Teachers Association has vowed to withdraw its labor case against the state if teachers ratify a collective bargaining agreement reached earlier this month. Civil Beat. As teachers prepare to vote Thursday on a proposed six-year contract, some are troubled about the deal, which includes a move in July 2013 to a performance-based compensation system that rewards "effective" teachers with raises. Star-Advertiser. Hawaii's public school teachers are doing some math to figure out if their six-year tentative agreement adds up to a better deal than the state's imposed contract. Hawaii News Now. The head of Hawaii's public schools is hopeful a new contract with teachers will be enough to remove Hawaii off the "high risk" list for Race for The Top grant money. KITV4. On Thursday afternoon, Hawaii's public school teachers will head to polling sites across the state to vote on a new contract. KHON2. The University of Hawaii wants an extra $15 million from the Legislature, in part for exceeding most of its performance goals. Civil Beat. State roundup for January 18. Associated Press. Oahu An Oahu boat harbor damaged by the tsunami spawned by the March 11 earthquake in Japan will be getting more than $1.4 million in repairs. KHON2. The Hawaii Community Development Authority is moving ahead on a long-stalled retail and residential high rise planned for the corner of Kapiolani Boulevard and Ward Avenue. Pacific Business News. Honolulu Zoo took the No. 10 spot at In Defense of Animals' 2011 list of the "10 Worst Zoos for Elephants" on Monday. KITV4. Hawaii Hawaii County on Tuesday became the third county in the state to ban plastic bags at the retail checkout, when Mayor Billy Kenoi signed a bill putting the process into motion. West Hawaii Today. Hawaii County has joined its two Neighbor Island counterparts in outlawing businesses' long-standing practice of providing free plastic shopping bags at the checkout line. Tribune-Herald. Alternative building materials, such as structural bamboo, rammed earth and straw bales, have found a place in the international building code and the building codes of Hawaii and many other states. West Hawaii Today. The Hawaii Board of Education has given itself one week to issue a decision concerning the disagreement between Laupahoehoe Community Public Charter School and its state oversight panel, which has said it intends to delay the opening of the school. Tribune-Herald. A $5 million to $10 million roadway project on Kaiminani Drive could get under way by the second half of this year, the project's manager said. West Hawaii Today. Maui More than two dozen Hana residents reacted with enthusiasm and hope in helping shape an income initiative aimed at improving the economic well-being of Native Hawaiians in the area. Maui Now. Lindsey says she’s set to be sworn in for OHA vacancy. Maui News. Isle couple sue lender, cite unfair, deceptive practices. Maui News. Kauai One of Hawai‘i’s more cherished landmarks, Coco Palms Resort in Wailua, has gone from hero to villain in the last 20 years. Garden Island. PAHIO Development announced Tuesday that asbestos mitigation activities will begin this month at Lihu‘e Sugar Mill, to be followed by the mill’s demolition, tentatively scheduled Feb. 20. Garden Island. Molokai The U.S. Coast Guard has established a temporary security zone for when an American Safari Cruises tour returns to Molokai this weekend. Associated Press. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The Courtyard King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel in Kailua-Kona is set in a location fit for a king, literally. King Kamehameha the Great established one of his royal residences here. As you survey the site, you can see how these grounds would have been chosen with a naturally protected bay. Remains and reconstruction of this royal residence and heiau provide reminders of the site’s importance. (Read more about the history of the Courtyard King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel.) Courtyard King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel celebrates this place’s history with artifacts on display in the main corridor. There, they also have a large collection of museum-quality paintings by Herb Kane that depict historic moments and battles in Hawaii. Additionally, their onsite luau reenacts a royal court procession that may have taken place in this very spot. Location The Courtyard King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel is located in the northern end of the town of Kailua-Kona. The hotel overlooks lovely Kailua Bay. It’s near enough to all the lively action of Kona, but also not smack dab in the middle of it where parking becomes more of a challenge. Navigating in and out of the hotel’s parking lot to other parts of the island is very easy. That naturally protected bay that once helped sustain King Kamehameha and his people, now provides an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, and more. Kona Boys’ watersports hut is right on site to rent gear and provide lessons. The hotel is set on the only sandy beach in Kailua-Kona , that’s enjoyed by both visitors and locals. Rooms The rooms have been recently renovated and impressed us from the start. Though only a 3-star resort, we had a spacious oceanview king room that was nicer than some 4 and 5-star rooms we’ve had in Hawaii. The newly renovated rooms are confortable and well appointed with a large flat-screen TV, sitting area and room to spread out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and civil rights leaders wear lei during their 1965 march Ever wonder why the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders on that famous march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. wore lei? Turns out King had special ties to the Aloha State, and to the family of U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii. It's altogether fitting that the Hawaii Legislature opens its annual session this week as the state and the rest of the nation commemorate what would have been King's 83rd birthday. King, in his 1959 address to a special session of the Hawaii Legislature, praised Hawaii for its ethnic diversity. "We look to you for inspiration and as a noble example, where you have already accomplished in the area of racial harmony and racial justice, what we are struggling to accomplish in other sections of the country, and you can never know what it means to those of us caught for the moment in the tragic and often dark midnight of man’s inhumanity to man, to come to a place where we see the glowing daybreak of freedom and dignity and racial justice," King said in his address. Five years after those words, King carried a bit of Hawaii to Alabama. That five-day, 54-mile march from Selma, where an Alabama state trooper had shot and killed church deacon Jimmie Lee Jackson, to the state capital, helped bring King to the forefront of the nation's imagination, spurring the cause of nonviolent protest that would be picked up and championed by an entire generation, fomenting the hope of equality for all mankind. The lei were no artifice. King had strong Hawaii ties, from his 1959 address to the Hawaii Legislature to his relationship with the Rev. Abraham Kahikina Akaka, older brother of Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii. Abraham Akaka, kahu (shepherd) of Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu, developed a close friendship with King when King came to Honolulu in 1964 to participate in a Civil Rights Week symposium at the University of Hawaii, according to Akaka's obituary in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. ]]></description>
