BEST FRIENDS: Ella and Herc. I haven't written many stories more important than this one. Mental health is a BIG issue these days, especially in @ncaa. @SEABURYHALL grad Ella Connor is helping many here. @CalPoly @hjireports @calpolybeach @RobDeMelloKHON .

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED: Just got off phone w/@AloyWehiwa — he just signed w/@Orioles. He's headed to Fla for instructional league to begin @MLB career. 1st first-rounder ever from Maui. @hjireports @RobDeMelloKHON @JahCollias @JordanHelle @billyhull @hpbaldwinhs @RazorbackBSB.

I can honestly say this is the first story in my 40-year career that I have ever done on the beauty industry. Reese Yap is a pioneer in getting this done for Maui at UHMC. So much fun to do. @hjireports @UHawaiiNews @LehiwaDesigns @MauiNOW @monicacollias .

#MLBDraft @KingKekaulike graduate @im_jaxong (Jaxon Grossman) just went in the 16th round to @Rangers. We will get ahold of him soon. @hjireports @MauiNOW @scoringlive @JahCollias @JordanHelle @billyhull @SLKalani.

#MondayMorningMIL: Football schedule is back to traditional two-round, 8-game slate. No War Memorial Stadium, so @mauihighsabers & @hpbaldwinhs won't have any home games. @hjireports @MauiNOW @scoringlive @JahCollias @JordanHelle @RobDeMelloKHON #Cover2.

I've known the Victorino family for 35 years and it is a huge honor that Mike and Joycelyn invited me in to their home to do this heartfelt story. @hjireports @MauiNOW @JahCollias @JordanHelle @mauicounty @CountyofMaui @ShaneVictorino @RobDeMelloKHON .

St. Anthony School, an original member of the Maui Interscholastic League, has been around for 177 years. The only Catholic school on Maui is hopeful of bouncing back to its glory days. @hjireports @MauiNOW @JahCollias @JordanHelle @RobDeMelloKHON .

This is a blast from my past, talking to 2-time @USABoxing champion Micah Diaz (I've known his dad for a long time). This 13-year-old is composed, respectful, polite and a heck of a boxer. 🥊🥇🥇 @hjireports @scoringlive @MauiNOW @JahCollias @JordanHelle .

#MauiSurferGirls was a novel, needed idea when it began 25 years ago. Today as Dustin Tester's unique business thrives, it is even more important to empower girls and women. @hjireports @SEABURYHALL @JahCollias @hitechsurf @MauiNOW @marenlau @JordanHelle .
