Greetings, fellow Healdsburgers! After a hiatus, Idlewood 3 is back, and ready to note what’s happening in our town. “IDlewood 3” was the town’s original telephone exchange and now “Hedda Healdsburg” wants to know all. Send your newsy items to me in care of The Healdsburg Tribune.
A disturbing picture
It’s been almost nine months since the fraudulent presidential election last November. Things are not looking good that the illegitimate Biden presidency will be overturned. This means all of us in Sonoma County and all other parts of the United States will have to endure the socialist and communist programs the far left Democrats are cramming through Congress. One can hardly wait for the 2022 mid-term elections to replace Nancy Pelosi with Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
Only 12 months to go
Fasten your seatbelts. This week marks the official start of Election Year 2016, culminating next Nov. 8 with the election of a new U.S. President and Congress. Dozens of local elections also will be decided, along with the usual flash mob of statewide propositions.
To fish or not to fish
At least that was the question until it rained last week. Till then, the fish were holed up in pools of the lower Russian River, unable to go on their spawning runs because there wasn’t enough water in the river to allow it. I expect the rushing brown water from several creeks and tributaries has raised the river flow enough for the fish to be on their lusty way.
Memorial Day
The origins of Memorial Day are often attributed to General John Logan. It is true that, in 1868, he gave impetus to an official “Decoration Day” as it was first called, a time for remembering the Civil War dead and decorating their graves. But Logan never really understood the meaning of the day. Until his own death, he remained a radical reconstructionist whose fierce anger toward the South never abated.
