To put it mildly, it was a big year for news on a small island.
Time and time again, visitors, friends and family couldn’t believe how much news comes from such a tiny rock.
Ka Loko.
The nurses’ strike.
Turmoil in the police department.
The Eastside multi-purpose path.
The elections.
The Superferry.
Tragedy on the roads, in the waters and on the trails.
The John Elwin murder, which attracted two national television magazines.
There are far too many to list here, but over the next week, to close out 2006, The Garden Island will revisit the biggest Kaua‘i stories of the year, recapping what happened and looking at what’s next for some of the island’s hottest issues.
Who killed Sandra Galas?
What happened to Chester Caluya?
What’s going to happen at Koke‘e?
Are we about to be overrun by coqui frogs?
How much will losing the PGA Grand Slam of Golf hurt local businesses?
Will the police department fill its staff?
We’re going to get to it.
Leading up to our New Year’s Eve edition, which will feature the five most important stories of the year, we’ll touch on what made a difference on Kaua‘i in ’06 — the soaring highs and crushing lows; the tragedies, the triumphs and the controversy in between.
Tell us what you think the biggest story of the year was.
