They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains.

Hopefully you have all seen the powerful documentary “Free Chol Soo Lee,” directed by Julie Ha (former staff writer for The Rafu) and Eugene Yi, released April 24, 2023. The film documents Chol Soo Lee’s case of false imprisonment for a murder he did not commit, which led to a double murder conviction for killing another inmate in self-defense. While spending his young adult years in prison, a pan-Asian international movement grew to force the wheels of justice to release him on March 28, 1983. Sadly, he was not prepared to live as a “normal” human being in “free” society. (www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/free-chol-soo-lee/)

Masao Iriyama, born on Nov. 9, 1921, in San Pedro, passed away peacefully at his home in Westminster on June 6 at the remarkable age of 102.
