Heads up: Healdsburg will likely look and feel a lot different for the whole month of June. More than usual, we may hear crypto words like “blockchain” and “Ethereum” being thrown around in the aisles of Big John’s. We may see large clumps of out-of-towners...

The hearing on the proposed Splash car wash took place the same day and time as the Presidential Debate, and it earned the Planning Commission’s approval,. That means they can move forward with applying for building permits — unless their decision is appealed to the City Council...

A recent article in this paper made reference to the Brown Act, and it warrants explanation what exactly that is. Most people have the correct understanding that it relates to government transparency, to ensure that public business is conducted in an open and transparent...

The winter prep sports season gets underway just as the “atmospheric rivers” hit Northern California, forcing most athletes indoors—unless their chosen sport is soccer.

Now that the nominations have been announced, let’s talk about them and what people should try to see before the big show. And once we get closer (the Oscars are March 15 this year), I’ll write my annual piece on what will win versus what should win.

The 3rd annual Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience begins on Thursday, May 16, but that's not the only thing going on in Healdsburg Happenings this week. More music, meetings, farmers markets and a Fire & Safety Expo in Cloverdale...

After failed attempts at names like “Petewood Mac” and “the Peatles,” Pete Delaney’s wife entered the chat and threw out, “You should call yourselves ‘Pete Floyd.’” And thus, the two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl launched a new band.

To look at the scoreboard of many recent Healdsburg Prune Packers games, one might think that’s softball being played on the field. On June 14, the Stockton Pearls fell 20-1, and the Bay Area Marauders went down 24-5 on June 15. These are scores more frequently found on diamonds where the bases are 60 feet apart, not 90. In softball, at least at the high school level, the “mercy rule” ends a game early if there’s a 10-point spread. No such rule affects collegiate baseball.
