    Old Town Center for the ArtsCottonwood AZ (January 13, 2016) – From the far reaches of St. Petersburg, Russia, Moscow Nights comes to Old Town Center for the Arts on Saturday, January 23rd 7:00 PM.  Moscow Nights & the Golden Gates Dancers will perform elaborate lyrical suites and pulsating dances of foot-stomping ferocity, bringing to life a taste of their culture in a whirlwind of colorful costumes and exotic sounds.

    On tour through the United States, Moscow Nights and the Golden Gates Dancers bring masterpieces of Russian folklore, song and dance. This lively program presents an authentic representation of Russian folk traditions.  The dancers thrill audiences with their syncopated choreography, gymnastic leaping and explosive foot stomping. The singing includes well-known tunes such as Kalinka, as well as Cossack war dances and Siberian love chants.  The musicians are an exciting, acoustic trio of ethnic percussion, bayan, zhaleika and balalaikas.

    In 1993 the company Golden Gates was created in St. Petersburg, Russia.  Drawing upon students from the Author’s Aesthetic Music Secondary School, these children became the first members of the group, and they began performing at various cultural events, folk festivals, and concerts throughout Russia and Europe.  Currently under the direction of Marina Tourlygina, and ranging in ages from five to fifteen, the group includes Russian dancers as well as singers.

    When the organizers were deciding on a name for the group, they tried to think of something that would evoke a picture of old Russia that would translate to English speaking audiences. After brainstorming for some time, they selected “Moscow Nights,” the name of a very famous Russian folk song that is recognized worldwide, and was the song most asked for by American tourists who attended their concerts in Russia.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
