Each year, on the third Monday of January, schools, federal offices, post office and banks across America close to celebrate the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought.

Let’s not have today become the forgotten holiday. It is imperative that we share the stories of the sacrifices of those who have gone before us with those who come after us. When I think about it, our ability to maintain this site, to speak my mind, to even live as I choose, is a result of the sacrifices made by those before me who stood firm in support of our country and our freedoms.
Too many people died face … [Continue reading...]

Ahh, the first day of school; fresh faces, new pencils and erasers, crisp, clean notebooks and a nice backpack to carry all those supplies in. Unfortunately, that is not the situation for many kids returning to school this year. Budgets have been cut in both homes and schools and many children will lack the basic tools necessary for successful learning without our help.

Damage was limited to the electrical room, and Vancouver Public Schools maintenance crews were working on getting everything back to normal.
So don’t worry, kids, everything will … [Continue reading...]
