More than a decade ago, Hopi artist Ramson Lomatewama broke the mold in the Native American arts community when he delved into glass-blowing. And yet despite pursuing a non-traditional medium, he did not abandon his cultural roots.

Chino Valley senior citizens will get to eat 20 extra meals at the Senior Citizen Center between now and June 30, 2010, thanks to a federal grant.

He said this money is part of the $56,591 the county received from FEMA under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.
