Here is a tremendous opportunity to learn how to make a lei at a workshop to be held on Saturday, June 17, 2017 starting at 10:00 AM located at the Cottonwood Recreation Center (in the Verde River Room), 150 S. 6th Street in Cottonwood.

     The Arizona Aloha Festival (www.AZAlohaFest.org) is sponsoring this workshop as an outreach effort to promote the Pacific Island cultures within the state of Arizona. The annual Arizona Aloha Festival in Tempe, Arizona is about as close as you can get to Hawai’i without leaving Phoenix. This free event, held at Tempe Beach Park every March, began over 20 years ago and draws over 100,000 people over the course of two days to experience Pacific Island culture through music, dance, food, and offers a wide assortment of authentic Hawaiian merchandise for sale.
     
    Kumu Chrisman moved to Arizona from Hawai`i, where she studied for 17 years to reach the highest rank of Hula Master (comparable to a PhD in Hula) following rigorous protocols taught by well-known and respected Hawaiian hula masters.  She opened her Cottonwood-based hula school, Halau Hula Napuaokalei`ilima, in 2004 and offers hula, Hawaiian language and `ukulele classes.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
