    Sedona AZ (April 17, 2016) – Hillside Sedona, located at 671 State Route 179, Sedona, AZ is once again the site to display this year’s Umbrella Project Charity Event taking place from April 29th, 30th and May 1st.

    Started in 1990 by Hilda Brown, the Umbrella Project is a 501c (3) nonprofit raising funds for various causes.  In years past, proceeds from the sales of the umbrellas have been donated to victim charities such as the 2006 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2010 Haitian earthquake and the 2011 Eastern Japan earthquake and tsunami.  Funds have also been donated to assist schools in need, nonprofit groups and organizations serving children around the world.

    On April 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th students and chaperones from Verrado High School are traveling to the Havasupai trailhead and are hiking nine miles into the Havasupai Village.  Once there the students will mentor students from Havasupai Elementary School.  The students from Verrado High School will work with the elementary students to create thumbnail sketches that will eventually transferred and painted on to the umbrellas.  Once completed, those umbrellas will be brought back to Sedona and placed on display during the event.

    Basic umbrellas were also sent to schools all across Arizona and New York prior to this event and students there decorated them and returned them here to Arizona.  Those umbrellas will also be on display starting April 29th.  The general public can donate money for an umbrella and the money raised will go directly to this year’s beneficiary of Havasupai Elementary School.  The school will use the donations to obtain classroom supplies and technology.

    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→
