Playbook of victimhood

Why charge band?

In the middle of another horrific news cycle, set off by the mass killings in Orlando, we look closer to home for signs of sanity, human hope and answers. We curse our crazy world while we gather and hug our loved ones ever tighter. Sonoma County is not Orlando or San Bernardino or Sandy Hook, Columbine or Paris — but it could be.

Valuable programs at our schools

Stop the roadblocks

Summer time and the living is easy. Especially in our cozy, friendly small towns we call home and where we welcome streams of visitors, seeking respite, fun and some genuine modern Americana. School’s out, vacations are being planned and all our homebound chores seem to lessen. It’s festival and fair time and there’s a free concert almost every night of the week somewhere between Cloverdale, Guerneville, Sebastopol or the town squares of Windsor and Healdsburg.
