BY SAM SLOM - Glass ceiling? My Mom never heard of it. All she knew was that a woman could accomplish whatever she set her mind to. And she proved it throughout her life. I have always been drawn to strong, independent women because of the lessons and mentoring from my Mother. I think of her [...]
BY GLORIA GARVEY- Three weeks before she died... “We remember Gloria as the “Holiday Lady.” From Easter Egg trees to Christmas Trees to Halloween ghosts and fireworks. She loved life with the enthusiasm of a child…” from the memory prayer for my mother. One Halloween, Mother’s Casper The Ghost was smashed by a bunch of [...]
Scanning the week’s national news, views and clues with you and yours in mind By Malia Hill ""It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.

Ben Cayetano or U.S. Senator Inouye who recently painted Hawaii in the media as a place where childish name-calling substitutes for serious public debate. It was John White, the young, unaccomplished head of Pacific Resource Partnership. He did that by presuming he had the right [...]
BY MAUI MAYOR ALAN ARAKAWA --This letter is in response to recent comments disparaging U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye.
