This week in the Tribune, we report that Calistoga’s population is now close to 50 percent Latino. The growth is consistent with changing demographics across Napa County where the Latino population grew by 50 percent in the last decade.

Plus, read about acclaimed Calistoga chef, Rogelio Garcia’s newly-released cookbook, Convivir: Modern Mexican Cuisine in California’s Wine Country. Garcia began his journey into the world of fine dining at the age of 15 when he took a job as a dishwasher at a modest Yountville cafe. Following his graduation from Napa’s Vintage High School in 2004, the homegrown chef has been on the culinary ascent. 

And, find out what community input was provided for the hiring of a new police chief at the city’s open forum on Tuesday where the need for a bilingual and community-oriented leader was discussed.

Also, see how Calistogans celebrated Mexican Independence Day, a holiday that coincides with the start of Latino Heritage Month.
