Hello. Welcome to Jenni's Pika Pika Japanese. In spring in Japan, beautiful flowers bloom one after another, and there are many pictures of flowers on Facebook, which makes me feel cheerful. Today, I would like to share with you a Facebook article about the Azalea Festival at Nezu Shrine in Tokyo's Bunkyo Ward. The contrast with the red of the shrine, which represents Japan, creates a very Japanese beauty. Now, today's Japanese language lesson is "X is also Y." If you replace "は" in "X は Y です" with "も", it means "Y is also X". Mr. Dela Cruz is an office worker. Ms. Santos is also an office worker. デラクルーズさんは、会社員です。 サントスさんも、会社員です。 Mr. Yamazaki is a Japanese. Mr.Murata is also a Japanese. 山崎さんは日本人です。 村田さんも日本人です。 How do you like it? It's easy since all you have to do is replace "ha" with "mo". こんにちは。 ジェニのピカピカ日本語へようこそ。 日本の春は、次々と美しい花が咲きFacebookにも花の写真が多いので見ていて気持ちが明るくなりますね。 今日は、あるFacebookの記事で東京文京区の根津神社のつつじ祭りが掲載されていたので、ご紹介します。 日本を表す神社の赤との対比で、いかにも日本らしい美しさを醸し出しています。 さて、今日の日本語学習は、 「XもYです。」です。 「XはYです」の"は" を "も"に置き換えると Y is also Xという意味になります。 デラクルーズさんは、会社員です。 サントスさんも、会社員です。 Mr.Yamazaki is a Japanese. Mr.Murata is also a Japanese. 山崎さんは日本人です。 村田さんも日本人です。 いかがですか? 「は」を「も」に置き換えるだけなので簡単ですよね。

In this episode of the South Georgia Insider Podcast, we're talking to Valdosta Mayor Scott James Matheson. The term "baptism by fire" is probably the best way to describe Matheson's first year in office. Before his official swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 9, 2020, Matheson met with residents concerned with a massive wastewater spill, which happened in early December. A topic of concern for decades, the City of Valdosta has invested millions of dollars toward sewer rehabilitation projects and new construction. Matheson says the wastewater infrastructure represents an "all-in commitment" from the city and represents an economic advantage in recruiting new industries. On March 13, as the emergence of COVID-19 began to sweep across the U.S., Matheson recalls being notified that the school systems were shutting down in response to Gov. Brian Kemp's declaring a public health emergency. As the statewide shutdown coincided with the annual Azalea Festival, Matheson says he had concerns and met with festival organizers. One of Valdosta's signature events, the Azalea Festival, located in Drexel Park, draws between 20,000 to 30,000 people. The decision to cancel was not easy. "We made the right decision that night," he says. "A year removed, and with eyes wide open and people starting to get vaccinated, I am glad we held it this year."Matheson is working with city council members and local leaders on various projects. On March 19 and 20, the City of Valdosta completed its 2021 Annual Strategic Initiatives Summit, and Matheson says it was a chance to get together and remind everyone that "we are all on the same page.""We are moving the city forward in a very fiscally responsible manner," he says. At the top of the list are infrastructure and transportation projects, including a possible second water treatment plant in the city's south end.Since taking office, Matheson has been advocating for a reliable, cost-efficient transit system. "It was my platform when I ran [for mayor], and I wanted to do it responsibly." The City of Valdosta launched its In-Demand public transit system on April 27 to provide Valdosta residents with convenient and affordable public transportation options.Downtown revitalization continues with the construction of an amphitheater across from City Hall. A two-phase project, with an open area for people to bring their chairs and blankets. Construction has started and is expected to be completed by mid-October. The second phase will include a water feature and space and utilities for food trucks. All aboard! Matheson is working toward bringing a passenger train to downtown Valdosta. While still in the planning stage, Matheson says there are public/private partnership opportunities, and he believes the project will create significant revitalization and become a regional tourism draw.

A 75 year old true story of courage, atonement and forgiveness. Nobuo Fujita was determined to bring his family’s katana with him 5,000 miles across the Pacific. The samurai sword had been passed from one generation to the next for over 400 years and accompanied Fujita on every important journey of his life. If samurai tradition was to be respected, he would eventually pass it down to his son. Fujita had a different plan, however. He had been invited by the Junior Chamber of Commerce—the Jaycees — to the 1962 Azalea Festival in their home town of Brookings, Oregon. This was an annual Memorial Day event for the town on the southern coast just north of the California border. Nobuo Fujita eventually accepted the invitation, and then whatever difficulties there would be transporting the katana. It was essential to his trip because he intended to present the sword to the people of Brookings as a gift of peace and friendship. If that plan didn’t work out, however, he would need the katana for another, equally important purpose: to commit seppuku, the hideous ritual suicide reserved for samurai who had brought shame on themselves...

Adult Life and Grandfather Mountain Part 2 of 3 Parts Morton's portrayal of his wife and three children opens the second part of our series. He describes his wife, Julia Hathaway Taylor, as "smarter" than he is and dedicated to her causes, as are his two daughters and one son, who help him with the family business. Morton sometimes fell into his leadership positions, as he recalls when he relates how his absence from a meeting landed him the position of president of the Wilmington Azalea Festival. The Azalea Festival was no small fair, he says, as he names some of the former Azalea Queens-Elizabeth Dole for one.
