Animal clinic helped homeless pet
A recent letter to the editor concerning a person possibly poisoning cats in the area brought to mind an incident I came across several months ago. There is a homeless individual who rides a bicycle around town, pulling a cart with his pit bull mix dog riding in it. One day, I stopped this individual [...]
Anonymous good Samaritan helped
On Dec. 6, on my daily walk, I fell near the Fairmont cemetery. A woman stopped her car, called 911 and stayed with me until the EMTs arrived. I was taken to NorthBay Medical Center where I received the best care I could possibly imagine from the doctors and staff who treated me. A heartfelt [...]

Who is responsible for our country’s decline?
Perhaps there are more people responsible for our country’s decline than a few mean Wall Street fat cats. It is rather ironic that the same people protesting the evil bankers today are the same characters who protested and pressured banks to make risky home loans years ago that started our downward spiral. Hard-working Americans who [...]

Women were often in the news in 2011
Taking stock of the news events during 2011, as the year fades to a close, I am struck by the number of major stories involving or about women. Some of them shall stand as emblems of progress, others not, but they are all worth a second look. This was the year that women at the [...]
President Obama, try these resolutions
Lanikai, a lovely neighborhood of Kailua, Hawaii, was the perfect place for President Barack Obama to recharge his batteries by golfing, swimming and dining in fine restaurants. Remote, with narrow, winding roads and no public parking for its gorgeous beaches, it is far from the bustle of Honolulu. We need a reinvigorated president to help [...]
Youths’ support for Ron Paul is misplaced
In the 20-plus years that I have worked as a conservative activist, I’ve spoken on almost 200 university campuses — usually to Republican and conservative groups. Over time, I have observed changes in attitude among many young Republicans — and I believe these shifts help explain the rise of Ron Paul. When I first started [...]
Solano Winds holiday show delights audience
4 stars out of 4 The annual Solano Winds Community Concert Band holiday concert has become, for many, a much-loved tradition. The concert on Dec. 16 held at the Fairfield Center for Creative Arts showed why. Though opening with a confident reading of John Philip Sousa’s familiar “Semper Fidelis” march, the Solano Winds then moved [...]
