Community Reassurance
If you’ve been curious what the impact of the current political climate is on the most vulnerable in our community, you needed look no further than to the packed house at Sunday afternoon’s Plática Comunitaria, hosted by local nonprofit Corazón Healdsburg.
Humanity First: Providing shelter to those in need
The Cloverdale community has new temporary residents these days, and we all have Carolyn Lewis to thank.
Housing solutions
In Healdsburg and throughout Sonoma County, issues related to housing have been in the spotlight for many months. The city is keenly aware of our community’s housing needs and has been working hard, alongside our residents, to address these serious housing problems. Providing affordable housing to working families and building government subsidized, affordable housing units continue to be top City Council priorities. Much has been accomplished and a great deal remains to be done.
For future generations
In the past months, much has been written within these pages about who we are as a town and where we are headed with Healdsburg. We’re debating what is sacred about our little burg, what should be protected, and how to continue to thrive as an intimate community, while honoring the benefits that come from being a successful tourist attraction.

GMO free zone
There is a grassroots movement afoot in Sonoma County to join our neighbors to the north and south in creating a Coastal GMO Free Zone.
Wine, weed, water and us
Sonoma County and its residents have become victims of too many cumulative impacts. We have backroads with too many wineries and valleys with not enough water. We’ve had tons of illegal cannabis for decades and are now fighting to figure out how to make it legal and grow it in the right places. Farmers need lawyers and land use consultants just to plant a crop or plow a hillside. We’ve had a generation-long debate about preserving our rural character but we can’t even agree on what the term exactly means.

Finding the feast for Thanksgiving Day in Healdsburg
While in normal times cooking a big meal at home is possible if not enjoyable, this year’s ballooning guest list makes it all but essential to call in reinforcements and pick up a Thanksgiving meal in advance, in order to be ready for the holiday.
