    Ted Braxton Remembered

    The sunlight over Hilo slid down individual rays and came to rest on the back lawn of the Performing Arts Center like ellipsoidal spotlights searching for the artist on stage.

    Money still buys the day

    Excelling in school has been a characteristic of mine since I can remember, so it feels ironic that I have been compelled by the recent Hawai‘i State Teachers Association contract vote and ensuing political maneuvering to compose an editorial that allows me to put the pieces together as I see them.
