HAWAII — Today marks a double celebration for Catholic Charities Hawai'i. A dedication will hail the acquisition and renovation of the charity's new home, the Clarence T.C. Ching Campus in Makiki. And the announcement of a $1 million matching-contributions grant toward Catholic Charities' "10 in '10" initiative will cap off the charity's $28 million building campaign by year's end.

The state House Finance Committee agreed yesterday that voters should decide whether the state school board will be appointed by the governor.

Despite resident complaints, a curfew will be in effect at two housing projects that have experienced increased violence.
