Fourth of July

Berkeley Unified School District, or BUSD, announced Wednesday that it would continue to provide "Free Grab and Go Meals" to youth during summer 2021. 

Summer is right around the corner, and that calls for a guide to cooking during the best season of the year. Whether you’re spending your summer in Berkeley or at home, take advantage of nice weather, the hype that comes along with the Fourth of July and relaxed COVID-19 restrictions to elevate your cooking game to the next level. 

Berkeley's Fourth of July festival and fireworks show, held annually at the Berkeley Waterfront, has been canceled due to COVID-19. 

This country isn’t perfect — nothing is perfect — and while I recognize its vast imperfections, I’m still proud and grateful to be an American.

There’s something special about having the day off for food under the hot sun with friends, but it's all on another level when you're in Washington, D.C.

Aglow in light from the setting sun, the marina was alive with activity. About 2,000 people milled around the marina as the sun slowly sank below the water.

Despite slathering on layers and layers of sunscreen, you still find your poor, pasty skin assaulted by the rays of the sun.

I’m proud to be an American, and no number of problematic politicians will ever take that away from me.

The motion did not pass — four council members voted in favor of the proposal, one vote against it and one abstained, with three council members absent.
