Asian Americans say dragon boat racing isn’t about winning
Dragon boats teach life lessons of leadership
Tags:
ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s an ancient Chinese tradition dating back more than 2,000 years.
The dragon boat festival is believed to have originated to honor the life and death of Chinese scholar and poet Qu Yuan. He is believed to have drowned himself in the Miluo River after he was exiled by the king in 278 B.C. Those who loved and admired him took their boats out on the water and searched for him but were unsuccessful.

Now centuries later, that search and attempted rescue of Yuan has turned into the popular dragon boat festivals held around the world. The date of the festival varies each year. It is held on the fifth day of the fifth month, according to the Chinese lunar calendar.

In recognition of Armed Forces Day, the Orange County Museum of Art is offering military service members and up to five household members a chance on Saturday to participate in a morning of art appreciation and enjoy a free lunch during “See Art, Make Art.”
Guests will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a guided tour of select works in the museum, where they will explore the different ways artists use visual compositions to invite conversations on theme, subject matter and more. Afterward, participants will be asked to create their own works of art.
Presented by OCMA, in coordination with Blue Star Museums, the event concludes with free complimentary boxed lunches that can be enjoyed outside on museum grounds or taken to go.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – An 11-5 season followed by a playoff win and then a solid draft has Browns fans excited and armed with plenty of questions:
Hey, Terry: Please tell me this Aaron Rodgers to the Browns talk will go nowhere. Will Baker Mayfield get his new contract?
– James Morrison, Byesville.
Hey, James: Let’s break down the Rodgers situation:
1. Rodgers is trying to force his way out of Green Bay. Green Bay doesn’t want to trade the MVP, but it could come to that. This is much like an NBA move where James Harden and Anthony Davis recently leveraged their teams not only into trading them – but also dealing them to the players’ favored destinations.
