acrylics. It was relatively early in the morning, 10am, but one can never tell how hot the day will become this time of year.

Some people say they’re holding off on washing their car until LUV comes to town. A laudable sentiment, perhaps, but if the modern-day car wash on Healdsburg Avenue is what they’re waiting for, that day is upon us. Soon, anyway. The installation’s target date for opening is Sept. 1, or shortly thereafter. Asked whether or not there would be an opening celebration, owner Lawrence Amaturo said, “I love parties! And yes, there will be a monthlong celebration.” Exactly what a month-long celebration at a car wash looks like, time will tell. LUV is putting the finishing touches on its new car wash at 191 Healdsburg Ave., the site of a storied-yet-bankrupt predecessor. When first approved by the City Council in 2024, it was to be a Splash Express car wash, but Amaturo sold his several local Splash locations to LUV and the name took over. LUV car washes are located in five states, with five in the

REVEAL Artist Jake Messing, a Dry Creek Valley native returning to his source after a commercial career, shares his insights and purpose at the unveiling of his mural at Russian Riverkeeper on Aug. 12.

Back to the Russian River again ● Artist comes full circle with mural at Russian Riverkeeper By Christian Kallen When Jake Messing stood in front of the mural he had just completed for Russian Riverkeeper (RRK) on the north side of the nonprofit’s headquarters at 139 Healdsburg Ave., he had finished more than another mural. The subject matter was clear, unambiguous: the course of a river from its point of origin

to the sea, with the birdlife and salmon surrounding its journey. Perhaps oddly, perhaps not, the water on the right side of the wall seems to come from Pomo baskets, not springs. The artist had the answer. “The amazing thing about those Pomo baskets is that they were so tightly woven that they could hold water,” Messing said. And if one thinks about it

even briefly, the ability to transport water opens up a lot of opportunities. He segued into an obligatory if still meaningful speech of respect, “To acknowledge the Pomo people and that they’ve been here for thousands of years, and their deep-rooted connection to the land and ecosystems.” RRK held the Aug. 14 “Mural Mi xer” to inaug urate the 35-foot-long, 10-foot-high wall Messing had just finished painting with bright, durable

Weeds, women and e-bike rebates ● City Council contemplates diverse agenda topics By City of Healdsburg At its Aug. 17 meeting, the Healdsburg City Council met first in closed session for a conference with labor negotiators. Personnel matters are routinely discussed in closed session, and no reportable action was taken. At its regular public meeting, the council began with a proclamation acknowledging Women’s Equality Day, the 106th anniversary of the enactment of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which secured the right to vote for women. The proclamation was read by Councilmember Evelyn Mitchell, who noted that, “to secure this right, women were forced to conduct 56 referendum campaigns, 480 campaigns to get legislatures to submit suffrage amendments, 277 campaigns to state party conven-

tions, 19 campaigns to 19 successive Congresses, and get the consent of 36 states …” before women could attain equal access to the ballot. The Council held its annual public hearing on weed abatement. Healdsburg Fire Department Division Chief and Fire Marshal Lance Macdonald reported that fire staff inspected more than 4,900 parcels to ensure that weeds—which can be unsightly, but more importantly present a fire hazard—are mowed or cut. Healdsburg Senior Services Supervisor Anna Grant and Compassion Coordinator Taya Levine presented an update on the Healdsburg Senior Center’s “When the Time Comes” program, which has drawn strong interest from the community wanting information, education and understanding about issues related to death and dying. The council expressed support for the program and its continuance. The council discussed offering vouchers to help low-income residents purchase new or used electric bicycles. An existing e-bike rebate program is in

place, and vouchers could be introduced in the next few months. A variety of city programs boost electric car and bicycle usage as a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The council has supported these programs and their connection to the city’s Climate Mobilization Strategy. The final discussion of the evening concerned water. A group of landowners in Alexander Valley want to form a water district that they say would protect water rights for agriculture and give them an opportunity to participate in regional discussions of water resiliency. The Cloverdale City Council appointed one of its members, Andres Marquez, to work with the would-be district organizers and Healdsburg was asked to do the same. The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has already denied the petition to form the district, and organizers hope Healdsburg will support their appeal of that denial. The council discussed the request at length and felt that the proposal to appoint a councilmember was outside its normal course of business. The council tasked Healdsburg City Manager Jeff Kay to engage with the stakeholders and report back at a future council meeting. The next Healdsburg City Council meeting will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 8, one day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday.

I grew up in Healdsburg. We lived with my grandmother, who owned a building called Camp Rose. In the evenings, lots of adults would gather in her basement and perform for her. I got to sit with her and watch until it was my bedtime. Then my parents would take me upstairs into our home, and we’d have to tip-toe so the floors didn’t creak too loud for the actors. I fell asleep listening to their songs and laughter. I didn’t know I was the luckiest kid ever. Apart from my sister Lily, my home was a sea of theatrical grown-ups. And their interest in the two toddlers wading through was endless! I observed and absorbed the spirit of community before I had a chance to learn any different, because my grandma’s basement theater was built on it. I understood that everyone who came to “play pretend” after working all day was not amassing fame and riches. But I did understand that everyone was having fun! As I grew older, I began to feel a little embarrassed about my home. It was a lot weirder and dustier than the Disney Channel. And I didn’t understand why my grandma insisted on wearing huge, bug-eyed sunglasses and taking a wooden walking stick everywhere. She was the matriarch of our family, and peo-

ple seemed to follow her. But the world that she built was very specific, and I was afraid of it being misunderstood by my peers. So I stopped watching rehearsals for a while. I soon came to my senses. And I was ready to be a star! My grandma started casting me in small roles and directing me like the rest of the actors. I felt big. Once she roped my sister onto the stage, it was game over. We were an unstoppable duo, simply adorable. Matching costumes, high-pitched voices and lots of admiration. My life path suddenly became very clear to me—I was going to be famous. But then my grandma got sick. She used all her might to direct one last show, then she had to listen to the performances from her bed. My sister and I were acting alongside our mom with our aunt in the lighting booth. We were pulled upstairs at intermission one night to say goodbye. Our matriarch was gone. If it weren’t for my aunt Suzy, the Camp Rose Theater would have ended there. But she had been studying my grandma’s leadership for a long time, so while the rest of us scrambled she took the reins. And we all grieved the best way we could think to: We put on a show! And we continued all the way into my senior year of high school, when I was finally old enough to play adult roles. The magic of

this house was still very much alive, and the audiences were glad for it. Community prevailed! When the pandemic hit, we had no choice but to stop. Nothing spreads germs faster than sharing a stage. And during that time of rest, Camp Rose took a big exhale. This place had been hosting crowds of people for a long time; it had nearly a century of history as a gathering spot before becoming a theater! In the

PUBLIC NOTICE A large blue sign hangs on the Mason Street side of the luxury senior living development to be called The Hudson, which recently met with local resistance to its 77-unit housing proposal.

The GMO Strikes Again ● Growth Management Ordinance makes ‘affordable by design’ housing impossible

There has recently been a lot of coverage and conversation about ‘The Hudson’ senior housing project at the former site of Healdsburg Lumber. At the Planning Commission hearing Eric Ziedrich, the property owner, talked about his unsuccessful efforts to bring workforce housing to the site prior to getting an offer from the Gallaher Companies to purchase the property. I would like to elaborate on his comments. When Eric approached me to assist in exploring how he could create workforce housing on the site, I recruited local architect Jon Worden, who has extensive experience designing multi-family housing, to collaborate. We collectively developed what I believe would have been a unique and successful concept. The plan was modeled on what organically occurs across the country and is common in college towns. Young peo-

ple get together and share the rent on a single-family home. They each get a bedroom and share the common area. We came up with a plan for a six-bedroom house with a common kitchen, living and dining. A “house manager” would reside in one of the bedrooms in each building. We were able to fit five of the structures on the single-family zoned portion of the site. This would have provided “affordable by design” housing for 30 individuals—or more with couples—a great fit for the hospitality workforce we have here in Healdsburg. On the Mixed Use zoned portion of the site the existing structures were to be remodeled and repurposed to various commercial uses including a food hall, a wine museum and a working winery or brewery, with a row of live/ work units added. This would have been an exciting project with the young residents activating the commercial uses, and would have

been a wonderful gateway to the SMART station with easy biking and walking distance to jobs downtown. Why didn’t it happen? Healdsburg’s Growth Management Ordinance (GMO), with the permit uncertainty it creates, proved too risky for lenders to finance. Even if financing could be found it would have been extremely risky to undertake. So, what do we get with our GMO? Large luxury residential projects big enough to enter a development agreement with the city to guarantee GMO allocations or projects exempt from the GMO such as hotels and, in this case, a luxury independent and assisted living project. What I find ironic is that many of the people who spoke at the Planning Commission hearing protesting the nature of the project are the same people who have vigorously opposed efforts to modify the GMO. So, one more promising housing project couldn’t get off the ground due to the GMO. The GMO that resulted from unfounded fears of sprawl after Parkland Farms was developed; but that’s a debate for another time. I would warn the community that

The City of Healdsburg had jumped in to help out, providing light beverages and snacks. The latter included tasty cookies shaped and decorated like fish and prepared by RRK staff. The building is a relatively new home for RRK, a 25-year-old nonprofit that “protects and restores our watershed environment for the benefit of current and future generations,” according to its mission. That’s a big bite for any organization, but RRK has proven durable and effective, cultivating alliances with the California Coastal Coastkeeper and the Waterkeeper Alliance. It walks the talk: The 40th annual Russian River Watershed Cleanup, which RRK has embraced, hopes for at least 500 volunteers to join in on Sept.

Finally birthed from the tunnel to the roar of a furnace, customers can either slip into a self-serve vacuum station for a free opportunity to detail their ride or drive off freshly showered and dried. (Right turn only, please!) Car washes range from $12 for the basic single wash cycle called a First LUV, to a Lotta LUV cycle ($18) and the ultimate, True LUV with Graphene Ultimate Protection. Membership packages for drivers who like to keep their machines clean are valid at all locations. As to when to start cleaning that car, drop by the first week of September. They’ll likely start with a soft launch to work through any kinks before an official opening.

immediate Sonoma County area. The Splash Car Wash on Cleveland Avenue became a LUV last year. “Over the course of a couple of years, they rebranded them to their national brand, LUV,” he told The Tribune. Amaturo said this all happened after he purchased the Healdsburg property, but what ultimately came out in the wash was that LUV asked to be the “tenant,” with Amaturo acting as developer and land owner. “We notified the City Planners office and they reviewed and approved this change,” he added. “We are pushing ourselves for review by the City in early September,” said Amaturo, owner of the car wash group as well as the Jim Bone Auto Group and Amaturo Sonoma Media Group. The progress is significant, he said earlier this month. “Signage now appearing. All concrete cured for driving. Most equipment installed,” he wrote when he sent photos of the project’s status. Amaturo credited Schroeder Construction, Sonny’s Car Wash Equipment and Ramos Construction Management for “working every angle to have this project completed by September 1st.”

19. Last year volunteers picked up 13 tons of trash in a single day. This year they’re hoping for a record. From the beginning in 2001, Don McEnhill filled the role of executive director, but he handed that office over to Rob Schwenker last year—about the time Russian Riverkeeper moved into the new, more visible offices. So Schwenker introduced the artist. Thanking the building’s owner, Jessica Wynne, for her support, he turned to the artist. “Jake was so kind to align his vision for the newest addition to Healdsburg’s public art landscape with Russian Riverkeeper’s vision of a healthy, swimmable, fishable, equitably shared watershed,” he said. It’s a vision Messing, 44, shares in his blood. He grew up on Chemise Road, a rural offshoot of West Dry Creek, with parents Russ and Arlene Messing helping with the family’s olive grove (Deergnaw). Then he went off to college at Parsons School of Design, succeeded in corpo-

rate advertising in New York City, and explored New Zealand and Europe, finally bouncing back to Healdsburg a couple of years ago. “I kind of felt like I always knew I was going to come back here at some point,” he said. Earning some nice commissions locally, often for murals, made it easy. His first calling card in the local craft scene came at the Harmon Guest House in 2022. Messing contributed a mural running the height of the four-story stairwell, one of whose walls is a window to the street. The mural, Blue Harmon, portrays a pair of blue herons flying higher in the space, their graceful flight communicated by bold colors and a striking sense of movement. Unlike many Harmon Guest House installations, it’s still there. What it lacks, however, is a landscape: The mural at Russian Riverkeeper supplies that landscape. “The mural at Riverkeeper is inspired by the Russian River and watershed,” Messing said. “It’s all local fauna that I’ve

witnessed along the river that has some significant impact for me personally, I would say… . You know, the blue heron, the osprey, the egret, they all kind of stop me in my tracks whenever I come across them. And I guess I have some sort of reverence for them in my heart.” There they are on the modest cinderblock wall, those birds—osprey and egret and heron sweeping from right to left in a florid, almost hyper-realistic river landscape, salmon under their wings, to the sea. To really look at the mural one should hope too many cars aren’t parked in the way—it is a parking lot, after all— and be prepared to spend a little time. To become immersed, as it were, in the Russian River. Jake Messing’s latest show opens Friday, Aug. 21, at the Paul Mahder Gallery, 222 Healsburg Ave. Reception from 5-7pm.

AUGUST Zinfandel vines are popping fruit at Mauritson Wines in Dry Creek Valley, but harvest is still a month away.

Zillions of Zins ● Just up Dry Creek find Clay Mauritson and Project Zin By Amber Turpin Clay Mauritson’s family has farmed here for six generations. But equally notable is Project Zin, the event he and his wife founded in 2011 with chef Charlie Palmer after their son Brady was diagnosed with Down syndrome. That first year raised $25,000 for the Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area and the event’s been going strong ever since, culminating in over $4 million in donations. Brady won’t attend this year’s event, which takes place Aug. 22 at Appellation Healdsburg. But that’s actually good news: He was accepted to ClemsonLIFE at Clemson University and starts college this week. Amber Turpin: How did you get into this work? Clay Mauritson: My family has been growing grapes in the Dry Creek Valley since 1868, so I guess you could say I was born into it. Starting the winery was a way for me to expand our family legacy but still be deeply connected to our roots. Did you ever have an “aha” moment with a certain beverage? If so, tell us about it. Two stand out: In 2000 I was traveling through France with my friend, Ian Blackburn. We had the incredible opportunity to spend a day with Jacques Lardiere, “the master of Burgundy.” He pulled a 1962 Clos des Ursules from the Louis Jadot cellar. It was dusty and full of cobwebs. The bottles did not have labels on them. I could barely understand a

word Jacques said, but the wine transcended language and time. On my wife and I’s first anniversary, we ate at Charlie Palmer’s Dry Creek Kitchen. A few years earlier I had been gifted a bottle of Krug Clos du Mesnil … what better occasion to open that special bottle than your first anniversary? To this day, it is one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted. That night also cemented a friendship with Charlie that a decade later became Project Zin. What is your favorite thing to drink at home? We always have a bottle of sauvignon blanc open in the fridge—it’s what I sip on when I’m cooking. We drink more zinfandel than any other varietal; it’s such a dynamic food wine. And I love a bourbon after dinner. Where do you like to go out for a drink? I love Dry Creek Kitchen’s focus on Sonoma County wines, and I think they have one of the best collections of Sonoma wines in the world. Baci and Catelli’s also have good by-the-glass programs that are hyper-local. It’s hard to beat the Matheson’s wine wall, and the clarified margarita upstairs at Roof 106 is dangerous. On the rare occasion that wine isn’t the focus, the Gun Club in Geyserville and Lo and Behold in Healdsburg are some faves. If you were stuck on a desert island, what would you want to be drinking— besides fresh water? Champagne seems fitting for the one drink till the end of my days!

Carl J. Elze March 20, 1925 — August 5, 2026

arl Joseph Elze, age 101 years, passed away on August 5, 2026 in Santa Rosa, California surrounded by his seven loving children. Carl was born in San Pedro, California to Karl F. Elze, a longshoreman and naturalized American citizen from Germany, and Martha Mary Fromlath Elze, a teacher from North Dakota. He attended San Pedro schools where he was promoted two grades ahead of his class due to his brilliance, and his six-foot-four-inch height. He graduated from San Pedro High School at age 16 in 1941. When he turned 17 shortly after Pearl Harbor, Carl had his mother sign a waiver allowing him to enlist in the U.S. Navy to fight for his country. In the Navy he trained as an aircraft mechanic, a path he followed after the war when he was hired by Pan American World Airways in San Francisco. It was during that time in Burlingame, California that Carl met and married Mary Jean Slaughter, with whom he started his large and happy family. Carl’s 38-year career at Pan Am began when he was hired as an aircraft instrument mechanic. While employed he took night courses offered by Pan Am and earned his pilot license and the title of Flight Engineer Officer. He eventually flew 747s all over the world, moving Mary Jean and his family to Hawaii and Germany in addition to his travels throughout the Pacific Region.

Music was important to Carl throughout his life. He played violin in the San Pedro High School orchestra and band. In retirement, Carl learned to play the tuba and played for many years with the Healdsburg Community Band, the Russian River Ramblers Jazz Band and also with Lew Sbrana in the New Horizons Band. Carl taught his children to sing harmony, which made for peaceful car rides when his family of nine were loaded in their station wagon. Carl also earned many badges as a Boy Scout and he embraced all that the Boy Scouts had to offer. With so many children, tent camping was the preferred vacation for the Elze family and that tradition continues to this day with the annual Elze camping trip. His life was the embodiment of the Boy Scout Law and he modeled those attributes to his children. Also in retirement the Healdsburg Kiwanis Club was an important part of Carl’s service to his community. He cheerfully participated in the club’s fundraising activities including the pancake breakfasts, the Fitch Mountain Footrace, Christmas tree sales and others.

REAL ESTATE

A House of a Different Color ● Choosing the right hue for your home By Janis Mara

ainting a home’s exterior can be both ornamental and practical, especially considering that a record-breaking El Nino is predicted to hit the Bay Area in October. Here are some tips to make choosing the color painless. “Painting the home’s exterior protects it, making it a smart investment that can last for years,” said veteran Bay Area real estate agent Maggie Resnick, who is getting ready to have her own home painted. “Finding the right color makes all the difference.” When considering the color, Resnick says the first thing to do is to take a look at nearby homes. “You don’t want to clash with the colors of the homes near you, and you don’t want to choose the same colors,” the Realtor said. Another factor: Your roof color. A shingle roof can have not just one, but many colors, and it’s important for the house to be compatible with them, Resnick said. It’s also a good idea to choose colors that are, if not historically accurate, at least consistent with the house’s style and era. Homeowners should look before they leap, she said. “Before you spend hundreds of dollars on the paint, be sure you put up a sample on the exterior,” she said. The most important part is going to be the front, so test out colors you’re

considering there. Be sure to try the side too, since one side typically will be in the sun and the other in the shade. You can find small cans of paint at your neighborhood paint store. Benjamin Moore offers 8-ounce color sample jars for around six or seven dollars. The tiny containers hold real paint in an eggshell finish. Also, you can use online tools to see how your house would look in different colors. You upload a photo of the house, then try on a variety of hues. Just google “color visualizer” to find the tools. Traditionally, homes are painted with a basic color, called the field color, for most of the house, with accent colors on the doors and trim color on window and door casings and roof edging. A new trend that Resnick is considering for her own home is painting the home all one color. “When you drive around now you’ll find some houses that have followed this trend. It doesn’t chop the house so much into pieces. It looks like more of a unified whole,” the agent said. She said the look only works on certain kinds of homes, so be sure to try it out using the color visualizer. Another option she strongly recommends: A color consultant. To find a color consultant, check with paint stores like Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore for virtual or in-store guidance, or look for local designers online.
