Justice Sonia Sotomayor an Honor To The Fairer Sex

By, Marion J. Flores

August 8, 2009 became a big day in the history of women, when Sonia Sotomayor took her oath, and was sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice. 55 year old, Justice Sotomayor was sworn in as the 111th Supreme Court Justice. However, it was much more than that; she was the first Hispanic Woman to be sworn into this high court, and the third woman ever to take the oath in this historically male dominated court.

An Obon Festival

By, Marion J. Flores

The Festival Grounds were decorated with White and Red Toro Nagashi simply known as paper lanterns. The white lanterns are in honor of loved ones that have passed, and the red lanterns recognize living family and friends. The lanterns were just the start of the cultural views that offered a feast for the eyes. Many of those in attendance including dancers wore traditional oriental garb, such as Yukatas also known as Kimonos. The women wore brightly colored, light cotton, full length robes; while the men wore informal Jacket length kimonos. These traditional Japanese outfits are beautiful and many spectators as well as dancers mingled in the crowds donning the garb. Young and old alike could be seen in this type attire.

Bite of Oregon 2009

By, Marion J. Flores

It was finally time for us to enjoy the grounds a bit. We stumbled on the true gem of the grounds. It was a small area which was strewn with animal skins. Being young boys my children were immediately fascinated with the man that was tending the “booth.” He was dressed in animal skins from head to toe, and wore what I perceived to be a “Davey Crockett Hat.”
