Healdsburg Printing Company reaches the end of an era
A 30-ton machine that has been generating indelible facts, lively opinions, milestone announcements and indispensible wisdom to Healdsburg and Sonoma County for almost a half century is being dismantled this week and sold for junk. The void it leaves is like a death in one’s family, the passing of an era or a movie ending where the theater lights never come back up.
Local businesses display lack of respect for flag
Editor: It appears that some Healdsburg businesses who display an American flag have a philosophy of “hoist it and forget it.” U.S. Flag Code requires that the American flag be flown at half-staff for the president or a former president 30 days from the date of death. A presidential order was given on Dec. 1, in honor of former president George H. W. Bush. The code also requires that flags displayed after sunset must have direct illumination on the flag itself.
Library Commission out of touch
The Library Commission meeting on Monday, May 7th was remarkable for the Commission’s inability — or adamant refusal — to listen to points of view other than their own, especially with regard to their pet project, self-check machines. The documents that were meant to inform an incisive conversation about the self-check equipment were over 58 pages long and did not include any information from the employees who have been the “testers” for the equipment. The documents were posted on the website less than two days before the Commission meeting, and were still being revised hours before the meeting itself. A large number of employees and community people came to the meeting, and several commented on the self-check machines.
