Bye Bye Birdie

'Bye Bye Birdie' is a fly away success

This year, the Solano College Theater chose “Bye Bye Birdie” for their winter musical. Their production was remarkable. From the time the audience sits in their seats until the curtain comes down, they are swept up into a world of wholesome teenagers and an Elvis-like icon. The cast was lit up with talented individuals as well as a well-oiled ensemble. Full story

Next Stop, Wing Stop

As a college student in these hard times, we often find that we have heated debates with ourselves over food. We have to make a decision where we should eat, how much we should spend or even if we should go out and spend money on food.

Reorganization OK'd by board

You can make that change, or in the case of Solano Community College, the many suggestions in Dr. Jowel Laguerre’s reorganizational plan for school, official.

 
The President/Superintendent had his proposal approved by the governing board at the Dec. 2 board meeting by a 4-2 vote, with trustees James Claffey and McCaffery dissenting. According to Laguerre, neither made comments at the meeting to why they didn’t vote for the proposal. Neither could be reached for comment as of press time. Laguerre said the overall reaction at the meeting was mixed.

Laguerre in a discussion

From being a Jayhawk to a Falcon, Laguerre has always shot for more

If Dr. Jowel Laguerre was asked when he started being an educator, he would tell you fourth grade.

That’s when the leader of Solano Community College was hired by his aunt in his native Haiti to tutor his two cousins. That foray into education has come almost full circle as he is now the Superintendent–President of a college campus. 
 

“I was the first in my family to finish high school or go to college,” said Laguerre. “Education has been my life and it is an environment I enjoy and feel very comfortable being a part of. It has certainly changed my life for the better That is the reason I want to encourage others to obtain an excellent education.”

Meal ideas for under 5 dollars

Dear TalkToMe,

 I have about an hour lunch between my classes and have to grab food then. I usually try to spend 5 dollars or less on my lunch because I do not have a lot of money. It is hard to figure where to eat because of this. I have heard that Solano Community College has food, but I do not know if I want to eat here. What can I get at the Solano cafeteria that is under 5 dollars? What places are close to the school that have lunch for less than 5 dollars?

What is the true meaning of Christmas

For a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, people sure do show it in a rather strange way, what with the sales, the constant red and green shoved into my retinas, and about ten thousand shows dedicated to the events leading up to that single day that a baby who was the son of God was immaculately conceived by a lowly girl named Mary.
