Tuesday is Election Day, and even though our presidential primary was in March and there is only one state issue on the state ballot, it’s an important election for Union City residents. Measure K, an extension of the public safety parcel tax, is on ballot.

Legally, I can’t ask you to vote for Measure K. But I can point out that even though it is a city measure, its passage would help the New Haven Unified School District in several ways:

● It would provide $1 million for the Union City Police Department to hire five new officers, including School Resource Officers for our middle schools.

Summer.

The best season of the year is upon us.

See, right there, I branded myself.

The marketing executives who run our world talk incessantly about "brands." That's one reason advertisers are so bent on snagging young folks, who don't necessarily have that much money. Marketing gurus want to hook college kids and the young 20s on their "brand," whether it's their soft drink, type of jeans or make of car.

In sports, there are always historic rivalries that make the game a little more interesting: in baseball, the Yankees and the Red Sox; in soccer, the United States and Mexico; in college, North Carolina and Duke. Now, one of the best rivalries in sports has reignited the NBA finals after 21 years: The Celtics and The Lakers.

From wikipedia:
John Hope (June 2, 1868 - February 20, 1936), born in Augusta, Georgia, was an African-American educator and political activist. He was the son of a white father, who was a farmer, and a black mother.

Hope graduated from Worcester Academy in 1890, then taught at Brown University. On December 29, 1897 he married the former Lugenia D. Burns[1], who would become a well-known social reformer. In 1898, he became professor of Classics at Atlanta Baptist College, (now Morehouse College), and in 1906 was appointed the institution's first black president.
