Health care, diet and Big Pharma
A recent Commentary by a Beverly Hills physician ("How Has American Health Care Gone So Wrong?," March 11, 2023), described U.S. health care as "the most expensive failed enterprise in history."

The doctor asserts that drug companies profit from long-term, often preventable illness.

Dunbar's leadership skills shine
I want to thank John Dunbar for helping us launch a new organization benefiting the community, World Affairs Napa Valley.

The ideal meeting space for our international forums is a property that was renovated under John's leadership into the lovely Community Center. Despite having other pressing issues, John provided generous support.
Keep on the sunny side with Hall
In the Nov. 8 mayoral election, St. Helena voters will have a choice between two different styles and approaches to governance. Who will be the best choice to handle challenges we've never experienced before: Water security, fire safety, infrastructure, City services, staff morale, housing, flat revenue and inflation? How do we acknowledge divergent opinions, protect our town's heritage and character and move ahead sustainably? Paul Dohring's endorsement by past mayors seems to support more inertia.
