Our readers ask things like, "Why is the City Council in the arts and culture business? I’m glad the City Council members got a raise, but why does Healdsburg even need a City Council?

Divergent voices

The response letters in the Healdsburg Tribune’s “Letters to the Editor” to Dave Henderson and my letters criticizing Gary Plass for not endorsing a ban on assault weapons made me realize that although there are many people who agree with our opinion there are also plenty who don’t.

Although we are technically part of the Bay Area we are still a rather rural community which is traditionally conservative. The divergent opinions have led to a healthy discourse which is one of the things that make our American way of life, as Vladimir Putin put it, “exceptional.”

Action film or sentimental claptrap: Spielberg’s dilemma

"How much a person likes 'Disclosure Day,' the newest film from director Steven Spielberg, depends a lot on what their favorite film of his is.

So to say that I looked forward to 'Disclosure Day" is a massive understatement," says film critic Jared Rasic.
