Be a Chelsey

It’s another work week here at the newspaper, and then next week we will work some more. For almost all of us, our lives get defined by the kind of work we do. When we have steady jobs our daily habits, travel patterns, alarm clocks, meal times and relaxing moments are all fit in around what we do to get paid.

No on Measure A

The Sonoma County Growers Alliance (SCGA) has closely studied Measure A, the Sonoma County Cannabis Business Tax, weighing benefits and concerns. It is with great disappointment that the Sonoma County Growers Alliance Board of Directors found itself in opposition to Measure A.

Not our kind

We weren’t at the Dallas Black Lives Matter march last week where a rogue sniper killed five police officers. We were home with our families, maybe sharing conversations with our neighbors after another work day. We were with our kind.

Farewell to the Dog Days of Summer by Susan Swartz

Olivia was scratching. The dog was miserable. She was so consumed by itching that it interfered with barking which is one of her joys in life. We knew it was bad when in the middle of the night two utility guys did an emergency fix on a power pole in the street, which was the perfect occasion for a righteous, indignant round of barking. And she just crawled under the bed and scratched.

Yale Whiffenpoofs

Yale Whiffenpoofs to land on Raven stage Sunday

The very name “Whiffenpoofs” is whimsical, but followers of the collegiate music space know that the repertoire and reputation of this Yale University a cappella group is anything but laughable.

Happy filmgoers await the previews.
