ROCKVILLE — It’s a long way from home, but Demondre Boler feels like he’s found a new family. One that plays football. Boler, a now-former Solano Community College and Rodriguez High wide receiver, accepted a partial scholarship to attend Belhaven University in Jackson, Miss., earlier this month, and he is now down there attending classes [...]
For eight seconds, we saw the president we had craved for three years: cool, joyous, funny, connected. ”I, I’m so in love with you,” Barack Obama crooned to a thrilled crowd at a fundraiser at the Apollo in Harlem on Thursday night, doing a seductive imitation as Al Green himself looked on. The song would [...]

If asked to write a TV show about a public library, I’d slightly exaggerate reality and call it “Checked Out.” Picture a big city, downtown library, a 1930s three-story, soot-stained brick building. The wood floors are polished into traffic lanes by people shuffling to common destinations — upstairs to the children’s room, women’s and men’s [...]
I looked forward to the three-day weekend, even though I probably didn’t observe Monday with the proper dignity and reflection. The long weekend, I figured, gave me an extra day to write this column, and I was actually excited to use my new Dell laptop for that purpose. It turned out there was a problem. [...]
Anyone who has ever been in a Third World country, or even in a slum neighborhood at home, is likely to wonder why there can be such dire poverty among some people while others are prospering. Both politicians and intellectuals have tended to have simple answers to that question, even if these simple answers have [...]
Cheers to Fairfield-Suisun School Board members who voted unanimously Thursday to allow paid advertisements on campus. At the heart of the policy change is a desire — a need, really — for the district to get additional money to support its educational mission as the state continues to chip away at school funding. The revised [...]

Recently, the HOA’s board of directors changed the CC&Rs extensively. In fact, they almost doubled in size. Apparently one of the changes was that we are no longer allowed to [...]

I find it hard to believe the amount of help and the number of ideas good folks have given me to help me find family. I am encouraged by the resources I now have to broaden my efforts. I will now include my mother’s family and my grandmother’s family in my search efforts. But Bass [...]
