Decoding Teenagers: Mars vs. Venus
In the early '90s a book was published called “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” The author called it “a practical guide for improving communication and getting what you want out of your relationship.” I never gave it much thought (I was a teenager during its first publication) until I happened upon a copy in a used bookstore while I was out Christmas shopping.
Off the Top of My Head: The year of the woman

The bottom lines of 2017

Mark West Compass: Renewal
I’m excited to write this article. Though it’s the end of the year, this story is about a new beginning for the Mark West schools. All the schools want everyone to know that Mark West Union School District is alive and well and waiting for the new group of kids to register for kindergarten.
Happy golfing holidays, and more local golf news
Winter is a sneaky great time to play golf. There might be frost at Windsor Golf Club in the morning but it will usually thaw by 9 a.m. If you tee off by 10 a.m. you’ll play during the warmest part of the day and be finished with 18 holes by 2:30 p.m. What’s a better way to spend a day in Sonoma County? You’ll see a few hot air balloons, beautiful birds and putt on absolutely manicured greens. Call for a tee time today at 838-7888.
From the library
Season’s greetings from the Healdsburg Library. We have a lot going on at the library right now and are pleased to offer a few fun opportunities:

:Every Sunday matinee we do a post-show discussion with the audience, so they get a chance to make comments and ask questions of the actors. We saw there were a lot of people who were quite moved and quite touched by the play. So the opening weekend could not have gone better, as far as I’m concerned," said director Steven David Martin.
