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.

Workshop materials are provided by Hawai`i Flower Lei (www.HawaiiFlowerLei.com).  In this workshop, you will learn the different kinds of lei, how to give or receive a lei, how to wear a lei, how to dispose of a lei with respect, and how to string flowers into a lei.

     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.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
