Clearing up controversies of Cambodian festival

September 13, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

On Friday, Aug. 22, Chanda Sovan was having a good day. That is until she received word of an unflattering Northwest Asian Weekly article about the organization that she is president of, Asian American Dragon Boat Association (AADBA). Sovan couldn’t believe it. The article depicted their pageant and race as rigged and said that a slur was thrown around casually.

Editorial: Dearborn is a go

September 13, 2008 By Northwest Asian Weekly

In 2012, rather than looking at a thrift store that has seen better days, we will see a 10-acre retail area.
