Hawaii's population is aging at two and a half times the national average. That's why State Health Department officials say it's crucial to have the appropriate resources ready.And there's a state project in the works to build a brand new nursing facility.

The facility would accommodate as many as 200 patients, and would also serve as a training ground for university students, and Health Department workers.

But the project is being met with some opposition.

Pua Mendoca knows who’s been nibbling holes in the leaves of her taro, eggplant and basil. Mendoca is the kumu kahua mala, or school garden instructor, at a charter school in Hilo called Ka ‘Umeke Ka‘eo. The culprits nibbling on the leaves? They’re the Chinese rose beetles that recently discovered the school’s raised vegetable beds.

Kanu o ka ‘Âina New Century public charter school on the Big Island has received accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges for its K-12 program.

The WASC accreditation, the first for a Hawaiian-focused charter school, is effective for six years, a news release said.

“This is validation of the quality of education at Kanu, which is at once culturally-driven and academically rigorous and prepares students to walk comfortably in multiple worlds,” said school administrator Pat Bergin.
