At Hana Fresh, health and nutrition step forward

By Cheryl Chee Tsutsumi

ASK Cheryl Vasconcellos what she most enjoys about her job as the executive director of Hana Health, and there's no doubt pruning, planting and harvesting will be on her list. That's because in addition to her administrative, financial, personnel, marketing, public relations and strategic planning responsibilities for East Maui's only medical facility, she loves to work in the fields of Hana Fresh, its 7-acre certified organic farm.

The Search for Signs of Hawaiian Life

For Sunday, May 20, 2012

COURTESY PHOTO

ALOHA TO THE ALOHA MOTEL | Tonya Whitinui and her ohana stopped for a portrait May 12 in front of the Aloha Motel in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was a good thing they did. That's when she discovered "they are in the middle of a name change from Aloha Motel to Amalfi Motel, and half the signs are already bearing the new name." Tonya, who grew up in Hono•lulu, has lived in New Zealand for 18 months but never managed to get a photo of this sign of Hawaiian life there until last week. The hotel manager took the photo of Paul, left, Kainamu, Tonya and Manaia Whitinui.
