Farewell to the Advertiser
Today is the last day the Honolulu Advertiser will be printed. It's sad to see that the end is actually here, after 154 years in business. Tomorrow marks the beginning of the Star-Advertiser. Dave Reardon mentions who will be the sports writers for the new paper.
Ferd Lewis, Ann Miller, Curtis Murayama and Stephen Tsai were among our competitors and friends across the hall. Tomorrow, they bring their talent and combined experience of more than 100 years covering Hawaii sports to the Star-Advertiser.Sounds like an all-star sports staff supergroup. I'm expecting greatness! All the best to them.
They join our diverse group of experienced veteran and young energetic sports journalists, including Billy Hull and Jason Kaneshiro, who are on the mainland covering every pitch of the Rainbows and Wahine.
Paul Arnett, the Star-Bulletin's "lead dog" as the UH football writer for more than a decade, has led us through rocky times nearly as long as sports editor. He is as excited as the rest of us about the new venture.

Mr Arnett, i hope that you cynicism is neither contagious nor required to work for you. You have been my least favorite sports writer for many years. Steve Lenzi aka slenzi.

+1 I stopped my subscription to the StarBulletin in 2007 because of Arnett, and won't buy the Star Advertiser until that jerk is finally canned. I don't see why my money should support someone who hates Hawaii and UH sports as much as he clearly does.
