Thank You to the Nisei Week Foundation Board for the honor of being one of six Nisei Week Pioneer Spirit awardees for 2024. I feel I have come full circle as I first danced in the first Nisei Week Parade in 1936, age 4, and was honored at age 21 to serve as 1954 Nisei Week Queen as part of the celebration of the 13th Nisei Week Festival and now at age of 92, I am especially grateful to be one of six recipients of the 2024 84th Nisei Week Festival Pioneer Spirit Award.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Japanese and Korean seniors, mom-and-pop stores and unhoused residents are among those who make up a coalition opposing the controversial $2 billion project, which will drastically change the south edge of Little Tokyo forever.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.

It Happened Again. Here.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

That is exactly what is happening, she said.
