2017 goals should include plan for sustainable tourism
We request that the city of Healdsburg’s 2017 goals include a plan for sustainable tourism. The plan would initiate a study and eventually create a set of measures to balance tourism growth with the needs of residents and the economic and social costs associated with tourism. Importantly, to maintain the land use status quo while a study is pending, the city should immediately enact a moratorium on new hotel and tasting room approvals.
Lytton concerns
I would like to provide some corrections, and additional information, with regard to your March 2, 2017 front page story about Lytton Rancheria, and its purchase of Salvation Army at Lytton Springs.
A Meaningful Plan
The Healdsburg City Council is poised to adopt a resolution next week that has a lot of, well, potential. The resolution “acknowledging and embracing the community’s diversity; and expressing the city’s commitment to non-discrimination and inclusivity,” has the potential to bring Healdsburg residents together in strength and in solidarity.

A festival of love at local film center
While some 17 films and three “surprise screenings” are spread out over the four-day festival, that obscure majority is outweighed in impact by four classic love stories, including 'Roman Holiday,' 'The Birdcage,' 'Umbrellas of Cherbourg' and none other than Nick Cage and Cher in 'Moonstruck.'
