Less is more

For some members of the Healdsburg community who took pride in Healdsburg being a big school district, enrollment decline may seem unfavorable.

After the taxpayers’ trouncing of their Measure A sales tax increase proposal in the June 2 election, we expected our county’s leaders to do some extra studying, rethink their political blunders and ask the public for some after-school tutoring.

I’ve spent my entire life chasing the feeling I got from watching 'Jurassic Park' for the first time at 13 years old. So to say that I looked forward to 'Disclosure Day" is a massive understatement," says film critic Jared Rasic.
