“They are savages. Marauders taking what they want without consideration. At first, we tried to fight them, but that only caused damage to our homes and lands without success in defending our people. When we engage, they go after our men, knowing that we have a shortage and that our men are most valued.”
Lori Foster’s new novel,
My Man Michael, is just that. It is a completely new setting, plot, situation and set of characters for Foster. As long as the reader can keep an open mind, it is thoroughly enjoyable. It has some great messages for the reader and some social commentary that takes it to an intellectual level that most romances never reach. I loved reading it and could not put it down, which meant that I spent a frustrating Super Bowl Sunday switching between reading a sensational novel and watching an enthralling football game. I recommend waiting to start the novel until you have a sizable chunk of time to relax and enjoy.

The Board of Education on Tuesday night received information on the local ramifications of California’s financial crisis and Governor Schwarzenegger’s proposal for another huge cut to public education. Chief Business Officer Ted Hood reported on 2008-09 budget reductions and updated the Board on planning for 2009-10 and 2010-11.
Midway through the 2008-09 school year - after making $7 million in cuts last year - the District must adjust its budget to account for the loss of an additional $4 million in revenue that is being withheld by Sacramento. The state plans to withhold an additional $1.7 million from the 2009-10 budget, and another $2.2 million in 2010-11.
