BLAZIN' ON CINCO DE MAYO
Fire dancers Alicia Billings and Kenneth Romero lit up the evening at Aloha Tower at yesterday's Cinco de Mayo celebration.
CINCO DE MAYO TO SOME,
BOYS DAY TO OTHERS
Thomas Ooka, of Pauoa, showed yesterday the decorative carp that he put up for his grandchildren. Only the "old-timers put these up now," Ooka said. Yesterday was Boys Day, a tradition from Japan which families in Hawaii still celebrate. It also was Cinco de Mayo, which commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French troops in Puebla on May 5, 1862.
