“Ni bizi naizenetik betidanik ezagutu izan dut emakumeak sokan dantzatzen”, dio Justa Oregik (Berriz-Garai, 1941). Gazte garaian nahiko modu informalean ateratzen zirela plazara dio, errepikatuz eta ikusitakoa errepikatuz ikasiz. Pixkanaka, ordea, pausoak modu antolatuagoan lantzen hasi ziren. “Gero hasi ginen gu serioago ikasten, Justaren anaiarekin”, gogoratzen du Mari Karmen Jakak (Garai, 1952). Santa Ana Eguneko emakumeen erregelek soka luzea dute Garain. Belaunaldiz belaunaldi jaso transmititu den ohituraren lekuko da Garaiko plaza eta bertaratu eta dantzan aritu direnen memoria jaso nahi izan dugu. Udaletxe aurrean egin dugu zita, eta zuhaitzen itzal azpian eguzkitik babestuta aurkitu ditut bi familietako kideak. Alde batetik, Justa Oregi, Mariagus Arregi (Berriz-Garai, 1965) eta Alazne Unzueta (Abadiño, 1993); amama, ama eta alaba. Eta bestetik Mari Karmen Jaka eta Miren Astorkia (Garai, 1976) ama-alabak. Mari Karmenen ama zenak ere dantzatzen zuela diote eta Mirenen alaba ere dantzaria da, baina Iurretan. Emakume dantzariak. Garai, 2026-07-14. Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Berriketaldi ederra izan dugu, batzuetan txanda hartzeko ere lanak izan dituzte, denak ere hizketan arazorik gabekoak dira. Eta gero, dantzan jarri ditut, horretan ere ez dute fallorik. Denean arin eta fresko aritzen dira emakume hauek. Santa Ana eguneko dantzak Dantzari-dantza gizonek dantzatzen zuten, eta ondoren soka-dantza egiten zen, orduan gizonek emakumeak gonbidatzen zituzten sokara. Eta amaitzean, denak kamerara igotzen ziren, jaiari jarraipena ematera. “Orduan guretzat jaia hasten zen. Gaur egun ere gazteak kamerara igotzen dira, baina giroa bestelakoa da. Lehen gehiago kantatzen zen; gaur egun ohitura hori apaldu egin da”, Justa Oregik. Eta hamaiketakoaren ondoren, nesken txanda, haiek ateratzen zuten soka eta mutilak gonbidatu. “Gizonak komunetan ezkutatzen ziren eta nahiko lan izaten" zutela gonbidatuak bilatzen dio Jakak. “Lau ahizpa izan gara eta laurok hartu genituen gizonak kapaz ez direnak plazara irteteko”, dio Oregik. Justa Oregi erregelan dantzatzen, Garai Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Hala ere, Justak aitortu du berak ez duela Santa Ana eguna plazan askotan bizi izan, beste ardura batek lotzen baitzuen urtero, “egun handia zen, eta familia guztia baserrira gonbidatzen genuen. Norbaitek prestatu behar zuen bazkaria. Pentsa, nire semeek lehen aldiz dantzatu zutenean ere ezin izan nintzen etorri ikustera". Dantza etxean jasoa "Aita aurresku-atzesku egiten ez dut ezagutu, baina trikitia dantzatzen bai. Ezkondu nintzenean ere biok bat, bat... pausoa eramaten genuen elkarrekin", kontatu du Justa Oregik. Eta Jakak gaineratu du: "Arri baserrikoak beti izan dira dantzariak". Mariagus Arregi Arrin jaioa da: "Gure etxea Berriz da udaletxez, baina Garai elizaz", azaldu du irribarrez. "Gure etxean denok egin dugu dantza. Nik neba gazteagoarekin ikasi nuen. Plazan txikitatik ikusten duzu, musika barruan sartzen zaizu eta gero ez zaizu hain gogorra egiten". Mariagus Arregi erregelak dantzatzen, Santa Ana, Garai, 2015-07-26 Josu Garate / Dantzan CC BY SA Oregiren garaian eta Jakaren hasieratan, aurreskua ez zuten gaur ezagutzen den bezala dantzatzen, "aurreskua lehenengo aldiz egin genuenean ahal zen moduan egiten genuen, lantzean puntapio bat bota eta kitto", gogoratu du Mari Karmenek. "Kontua zen Santa Ana eguneko emakumeen soka ez galtzea, nahiz eta hiru edo lau pauso egin plazan", gehitu du Arregik.  Emakumeak soka dantzan, Garai, 2026-07-14 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA "Baina gero pentsatu genuen ikasi egin behar genuela, eta Santos Oregi, justaren neba, erakusteko prest agertu zen. Lehenengo aldiz aurreskua behar den moduan dantzatu genuela, orain 45 bat urte izango dira", dio Jakak. Gorputzez, kasetez, paperez "Beti azken momentuan entseatzen genuen, eta ezberdina da umetan edo heldutan ikastea. Nik buruz ikasten nuen, memorizatu egiten nuen guztia", dio Mari Karmen Jakak. Alabak ere gogoan du ama nola prestatzen zen: "Paper batean apuntatuta zeuzkan pausoak, radiokasetaren ondoan egoten zen papera: “lau pausu, bi txantxurreke...”, dio. Konturatzerako, elkarrizketa bera entsegu txiki bihurtu da. Pausoen izenak bata bestearen atzetik ateratzen hasi dira, eta hitzekin batera hankak ere mugitu dituzte. Ez dute paperik behar izan. Ezta musikarik ere. Urratsak buruan baino gehiago gorputzean dituzte gordeta. Gero etxera iristean, Mirenek amaren apunteak aurkitu ditu eta bidali egin dizkit. Mari Karmen Jakak apuntatuta dituen erregeletako aurreskuaren urratsak Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Mariagus Arregik ere antzeko oroitzapena dauka, "nik ere urteetan eraman nuen papera karteran, baina Santiago bezperara arte ez nuen entseatzen. Orduan nebak esaten zidan: 'entseatzera!'". Baina transmisioa ez zen paperetara mugatu. Alabek amen lekukoa hartu zuten ia oharkabean. Jakak orain hamar urte inguru utzi zion dantzatzeari; eta Arregik orain bost bat urte. Alabek lekukoa hartu zutela esan daiteke. "Behin amak esan zuen torpe ikusten zela, ze aurreskua luzea da eta kaja behar duzu eta ajilidadea eta esan zuen ez zuela ikusten bere burua plazan egiteko eta egingo al nuen nik. Zerbait entseatu nuen, baina nola amak beti etxean entseatzen zuen, ba neuk banekien", dio Astorkiak. Irati Milikiua, Santa Ana, Garai, 2022-07-26 Josu Garate / Dantzan CC BY SA Familia bateko kideek beti aurreskua eta bestekoak atzeskua dantzatu izan dutela ohartu da Unzueta: “Kuriosoa da, baina gure etxean gehiago aritu izan gara atzesku. Eta zuenean, berriz, aurresku. Gure osaba ere beti atzesku. Behin aurresku aritu nintzen eta uff... luze egin zitzaidan. Hemen ematen du ez dagoela aldaparik, baina aldapa dago”. Mariagus Arregi eta Alazne Unzueta ama-alabak soka-dantzan, Garai, 2026-07-14 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA "Bagenuen kasete bat txistulariaren grabazioekin", dio Unzuetak. Astorkiak berehala osatu dio kontakizuna: "Gogoratzen dut nola esaten zuen bozarekin ere: 'orain aurreskua, orain banangoa...'. Gainera astiro-astiro jotzen zuen, eta niri luze egiten zitzaidan aurreskua. Pixka bat arinago gustatzen zitzaidan". "Arintxuago beste grazia bat daukala pentsatzen dut", erantzun dio Justak. Alazne Unzueta eta Mariagus Arregi, alaba eta ama erregelak dantzatzen, Garai, 2024-07-26 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Sokatik dantzari-dantzara Santa Ana eguneko emakumeen soka-dantza aspaldiko kontua da Garain. Dantzari-dantza, ordea, urte luzez gizonen eremua izan da, eta emakumeek ez zuten hura ikasteko aukerarik. "Nire gazte denboran gizonek ikasten zuten dantzari-dantza, baina andrek ez", dio Jakak. Emakumeak soka dantzan, Garai, 2026-07-14 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Denborarekin, ordea, emakume batzuk pauso bat harago ematen hasi ziren. Alazne Unzuetak gaztetatik izan zuen dantzari-dantza ikasteko aukera. "Nik Jabi Etxeitarekin ikasi nuen. Dantzari Txiki Egunerako prestatzen ginen; lau neska eta lau mutil ginen. Berak proposatu zigun aurreskua eta atzeskua ikastea. Etxean beti ikusi izan dut, baina gogoratzen dut denok borobilean jartzen ginela eta horrela ikasi nuela. Gero dantzari-dantza osoa ere ikasi nuen; hogei bat urte izango dira". Amamak hitza kendu dio eta harro esan du, "baina burutik gora hanka, e!". Dantzari taldea Garaiko plazan, Alazne Unzueta banangoa dantzatzen, Garai, 2004-07-31 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Santiago egunean, ordea, orain gutxira arte gizonek bakarrik egin dute dantzari-dantza. "Duela bizpahiru urte hasi ziren neska gazteak egun handian ere dantzatu nahi zutela esaten. Inguruko herrietan sortu ziren mugimenduak baino lehenago ere gurean eztabaida handia izan zen, baina ez zen onartu". Emakumeak soka dantzan, Garai, 2026-07-14 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Alazne Sarrigoitia izan zen Santiago egunean dantzari-dantza dantzatu zuen lehen emakumea, “ama izan berria zen, eta oraindik bularra ematen zion umeari. Oso polita izan zen. Emakume guztiok harrotasunez bizi izan genuen. Gu itzalean geratu ginen, baina berak argi zuen. Pausoa eman zuen, eta bidea ireki zigun". Ezpata-dantzari taldea, Alazne Unzueta atzean eskuinean, Garai, 2025-05-26 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Miren Astorkiak ere bide hori egin nahi izan zuen. Horretarako, urte osoan Berrizera joaten zen asteazkenero, dantzari-dantza ikastera. "Hemen ez da urtean zehar entsegurik egiten. Nik plazan dantzatu nahi nuen, eta horregatik joaten nintzen Berrizera". Prestaketa ia amaituta zuen. Garain bakarrik dantzatzen den Gernikako Arbola baino ez zitzaion falta ikasteko. "Alazne Sarrigoitiak esan zidan berak erakutsiko zidala. Prest nengoen". Baina Santa Ana baino astebete lehenago zuntz-haustura izan zuen, eta urte osoko prestaketa bertan behera geratu zen. "Ikaragarrizko pena eman zidan". Arregik berehala erantzun dio, “Mirenek behin egiten duenean, gorputz eta arima dantzatzen du. Dena ematen du". Miren Astorkia erregelak dantzatzen, Santa Ana, Garai, 2015-07-26 Amaiur Aristi / Dantzan CC BY SA Aurtengo emakumeek bi egunetan egingo dute dantza, Santiago egunean eta Santa Ana egunean. Garai bezalako herri txiki batean —400 biztanle ingurukoa— tradizioak ere egokitzen joan dira. Lehen Santa Ana egunean ezkonduak ateratzen ziren plazara eta Santiago egunean ezkongabeak; gaur egun, berriz, adinak eta generoak baino gehiago, taldea osatzeko beharrak agintzen du.

بازداشت آریا کسایی؛ ادامه برخورد با فعالان فرهنگی و هنری در ایران

(The Center Square) - An attorney challenging Justice Theo Angelis on the primary ballot is calling the recent appointee’s experience into question, as Angelis meets with his predecessor nearly every week. Greg Miller, an appellate attorney challenging Angelis for Washington Supreme Court Position 5, says the arrangement highlights gaps in Angelis’ resume. Gov. Bob Ferguson appointed Angelis in March, without any judicial experience, to replace Justice Barbara Madsen, who sat on the bench for about 33 years. Madsen wrote in a statement to The Center Square that she initiated their arrangement as a professional “courtesy” on her own time and expense. In a separate statement, Angelis told The Center Square that the meetings are preparing him to succeed Madsen as chair of the Judicial Information Systems Committee next year. “It certainly could be considered 'tutoring' on the administrative aspect of the court,” Miller said Friday. He gave an analogy comparing Angelis’ appointment to sending a student to French school before the student had learned the language. However, Angelis is already serving on the Supreme Court and has far more experience with federal and intellectual-property litigation than Washington appellate courts. “But it begs the question [Angelis’] answer raises of his substantive knowledge and experience, since the Washington Supreme Court’s primary duty is to decide appeals of state law, not serve as a case management administrator,” Miller told The Center Square regarding the arrangement with Madsen.​ Angelis replaced Madsen in April, but he said she will continue as the JISC chair until the end of 2026. JISC oversees court technology and is implementing a new case-management system for roughly 137 courts and probation departments in 2026 and 2027. Angelis said Chief Justice Debra Stephens, who didn’t respond to a request for comment, selected him as the next chair, so he wants to be ready first. “We also have talked about our judicial philosophies, reasons for newly implemented internal rules, areas of particular emphasis in the Court’s rule-making process, lesser-known history of some of the Court’s commissions and committees, and the court’s governance structure especially as it bears upon JISC issues,” Angelis told The Center Square when asked what he and Madsen talk about each week. Madsen said the arrangement isn’t “uncommon,” and that other justices should consider doing it too. “No judge at any other level of court has this oversight responsibility,” Madsen told The Center Square. In his statement, Angelis emphasized that he has litigated appeals in state and federal courts for over 25 years; Miller said that description "misrepresents" the justice’s experience in state appellate cases. Miller said his initial search on the legal research platform Westlaw identified six state appellate cases involving Angelis. He later acknowledged that it missed a case Angelis argued in January before taking over for Madsen. Still, Angelis’ application lists 21 state appeals and 32 federal appeals for his career.​ “Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said correctly that the life of the law is not logic, it is experience,” Miller said. “I was a judicial law clerk helping my judge decide 75 Washington cases, half civil, half criminal.” “I have completed over 135 appeals and given 80 merits oral arguments in the Washington appellate courts as a practicing attorney representing a wide range of clients,” he said regarding his experience.​ The application obtained by The Center Square via a records request lists Angelis as “counsel of record” in 21 state appeals: six in the Supreme Court, 13 in Division I of the Court of Appeals and two in Division II. It also reports one appeal at the county superior court level and 32 federal appellate cases as the “counsel of record.” On trial experience, Angelis’ application lists two cases he litigated in Washington District Court, three U.S. District Court cases, six federal administrative tribunals and one case listed under “other” courts. “I typically have 1-2 Washington State cases, 4-10 U.S. District Court cases, 1-3 ITC cases, and 1-2 appeals pending in a typical year. My current caseload is heavier on ITC litigation and a bit lighter in other categories, but I just presented oral argument to Division I in January, and I had three Federal Circuit arguments in 2025,” according to Angelis’ judicial evaluation questionnaire updated Jan. 30.​ Miller said Westlaw finds merits decisions, not every appearance or filing, so his search doesn’t show Angelis’ complete record, nor does Angelis’ application list every appellate matter he reported either.​ He doubted whether Angelis would meet the Washington Appellate Lawyers Association’s membership criteria, which require people to act as lead counsel in at least 25 appeals and orally argue 15 appeals. Miller acknowledged that Angelis could potentially qualify by combining his state and federal matters, since WALA counts federal appeals too. However, Miller said he didn’t believe that Angelis had served as lead counsel or presented oral argument in enough cases according to his application and Westlaw. “To say that he has extensive experience is not correct,” Miller said regarding Angelis’s appellate work. Ballot boxes close on Aug. 4, in the primary election, with former Federal Way Judge Dave Larson and Thurston County Judge Sharonda Amamilo also challenging Angelis along with Miller. Only the two candidates who receive the most votes next Tuesday will advance to the November general election. ​

Sign up for Chalkbeat Chicago’s free daily newsletter to keep up with the latest news on Chicago Public Schools.A divided Chicago school board passed a nearly $10 billion budget late Thursday that preserves jobs but relies on an additional $150 million in state funding that may not materialize. Chicago Public Schools CEO Macquline King, whose proposal included cuts that the board amended, swiftly sent an email to parents sounding an alarm and floating the possibility that school may not start on time Aug. 24. “As it stands right now, though, we do not know if we will be able to secure the short-term financing needed to pay our employees in September, which would effectively shut down the district just as staff and students are set to return,” King said in her Thursday night email to families.Multiple financial experts say that is unlikely because the district should be able to secure a short-term loan, albeit with high interest. Last year’s budget avoided cuts to the classroom. This year’s budget drama is set against a larger political backdrop. CPS has long argued that the state underfunds the district under Illinois’ school funding formula. A majority of board members, most appointed by Mayor Brandon Johnson, are betting the state will act. But state lawmakers and the governor have already approved a budget, and changes now would be difficult. Coming months before a November election in which every seat on the school board will be on the ballot, competing views over the budget could prove to be a core campaign issue.Here’s what parents should know about what’s happening, what it could mean for schools, and what might happen next.Will school start on time?CPS did not respond to questions about why schools might not open as scheduled. But a delayed opening is unlikely and unprecedented.Previously, CPS said that passing a budget Thursday would allow the district to secure short-term borrowing by Sept. 2, just in time to make the Sept. 4 payroll.CPS needs the loan to make up for late county property tax payments. That loan, designed for government bodies facing short-term cash flow needs, would help cover a missing $400 million of $700 million the district needs for operations in September, according to a memo CPS sent board members this week that Chalkbeat obtained.Experts said the district will probably be able to secure loans in the time frame it needs.But, it’s going to cost the district more in interest. “It’s probable, if not almost a near certainty, that they’ll end up paying more for it because of the budget as well as the short time frame,” said Lisa Washburn, managing director at Municipal Market Analytics, Inc., a market and credit analysis research firm. Lenders may want to scrutinize CPS’ finances more than usual because the approved budget relies on uncertain money, which could slow down the process, said Justin Marlowe, a municipal finance expert at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy.“(Investors) haven’t done that so far, but a budget that assumes a bunch of state revenue that may or may not arrive is good reason to ask tough questions you’ve never asked before,” Marlowe said in an email. What if CPS doesn’t have the cash it needs to pay staff?There are legal consequences for missing payroll, including violations of multiple state labor laws and union contracts that could result in lawsuits and criminal charges, the district wrote in its memo. It could also mean no school. “Because employees cannot be compelled to work without compensation, missed payroll will likely result in immediate strikes, walkouts, or work refusals that will halt district operations,” the memo said. The district could ask its unions for grace on paychecks. CTU and the principals union supported the modified budget plan, but SEIU Local 73, which represents thousands of support staffers who are among the district’s lowest paid, opposed it.In 1980, Chicago Public Schools was locked out of the bond markets and failed to make payroll multiple times. Then-Gov. Jim Thompson convened city leaders, school officials, unions, and bankers to broker a deal to bail out the troubled school system. They created a separate body known as the School Finance Authority, which could access the markets and get the district the money it needed. This became the precursor to mayoral control in 1995.Now, CPS is transitioning back to local control, with a hybrid school board made up of 11 mayoral appointees and 10 members elected in 2024. All 21 seats are also on the ballot this Nov. 3, adding a layer of electoral politics to the tensions. What are the chances the state sends CPS more money?Revising state revenue for Chicago schools upward by $150 million would require an amendment to the state budget, which passed in May. Any changes require a three-fifths majority of state lawmakers. That’s 36 votes in the Senate and 71 votes in the House, including legislators who don’t represent Chicago and would likely seek funding for their districts, too. Gov. JB Pritzker said Friday that state funding for school districts is already a “known quantity,” and that if Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch has a plan for adding supplemental funding, as he implied Wednesday, the governor hasn’t seen it. “He seems to have a plan or is planning to put something together, and so I look forward to seeing that,” Pritzker said. It’s not clear whether there are enough votes for such a measure to pass during a veto session in November. Even if it did, that money would likely come through later in the school year. Pritzker noted that the state has increased K-12 education funding by about $3 billion since he took office in 2018. CPS has seen state revenue increase by nearly $1 billion in that time. The district’s budget has grown from about $6 billion in 2018 to just under $10 billion this year. CTU and aligned school board members argue that the state’s formula for distributing money to schools, which changed in 2017 before Pritzker took office, promised to get all schools to an adequate funding level by 2027. The state is not on track to hit that goal but the union is putting pressure on Pritzker, Welch, and other state lawmakers to do so. Will teachers who were laid off from my school be rehired?The modified budget plan calls for spending $100 million to rescind layoffs that happened earlier this month. Another $50 million would go toward easing a hiring and spending freeze later in the school year. Nelsen Gerew, chief of internal and public affairs at the Chicago Fund for Public Education, said CPS could give money back to schools and let them handle rehiring, or the district could reverse its own cuts, which would be more complicated. “Is the idea that we’ll try to get schools back to where they were (last school year)?” Gerew said.Principals have been working with budgets approved in May and have likely rearranged class schedules for the upcoming year. Teachers who were laid off may have been rehired elsewhere. The CTU contract allows a tenured teacher who has been laid off to return to a school within 10 months if there’s a vacancy and they’re rated proficient or higher. Will there be midyear cuts at my school?If the money the school board is expecting from the state doesn’t come through, schools may be forced to cut staff and other resources in the middle of the year to make up the difference. However, other sources of revenue could increase. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson could declare a larger surplus from special taxing districts known as TIF, or tax increment financing, meant to spur economic development. Last year, he did, and CPS got $576 million. This year, CPS initially projected $200 million in TIF surplus and revised it earlier this week to $285 million. This revision allowed them to remove furloughs from its initial budget plan.Johnson faces reelection in February 2027, although he has yet to announce his intentions.Reema Amin is a reporter covering Chicago Public Schools.

Oregon’s beleaguered transportation agency is staring down a $200 million budget gap for the 2027-29 budget cycle and layoffs unless the state Legislature intervenes, according to agency officials.  The Oregon Department of Transportation’s budget gap largely stems from inflation and declining gas tax revenue as more people drive electric vehicles, and it means the agency […]
