    Richard Jenkins|Feb 14, 2015

    BESSEMER - Dennis and Delores Rolando have been together for 56 years. That's long enough that they sometimes finish each other's thoughts. That doesn't mean they aren't still capable of surprising each other. One of those surprises was Delores' decision to enter the story of their relationship into The Daily Globe's "Valentine's Day is all about L-O-V-E" contest.

  • Bessemer Schools should consider consolidation

    Feb 14, 2015
