Valley oak picked as city’s official plant by council
● Native plant survey demonstrates preference for acorn-bearing tree
Staff Report
The Healdsburg City Council took a brief break from weightier business last week—new in-lieu fees, the Eel-Russian River project—to decide something
more symbolic: the city’s first official plant.
The idea originated with Garden Club member Mary Kelley, who proposed the designation during the council’s
2024–25 goal-setting session.
The Healdsburg Garden Club’s Theresa Wistrom eventually proposed six native plants at a May City Council meeting: three local wildflowers, Blueeyed grass, the California native grape and a non-specific oak were all nominated.
An online public survey conducted from June 11 to July 9

drew about 180 responses. Oaks received more than 34% of the vote, outpacing the California native grape at 24%, the Douglas lily at 18.5%, Blue-eyed grass at 12%, and two other wildflowers under 10%. While multiple

Healdsburg, Eisenberg settle litigation
● Local lawyer’s suit charged Brown Act, Public Records violations
By Christian Kallen
Late Friday afternoon last week, the City of Healdsburg announced the settlement of two lawsuits brought by Jon Eisenberg, a retired attorney living in Healdsburg, against the City for violations of the Brown Act. At issue was a “pattern of misbehavior that is deeply embedded in the culture of Healdsburg’s city government,” in the terms of Eisenberg’s January 2025 complaint.
“While the parties continue to disagree about allegations raised in the lawsuits, the City acknowledges Mr. Eisenberg raised important and valid concerns,” read the City’s statement. It further states that both parties “share an interest in government transparency and have agreed to several measures

HHS mural spans Healdsburg history
1989 art project not threatened by current plans
Editor’s Note: A recent thread on Facebook suggests that the large mural on the west side of Smith Robinson Gym might be painted over and that its history is lost. A quick search of Healdsburg Tribune archives discovered the following article, from February 1989.
Principal Tait Danhousen and District Supervisor Chris Vanden Heuvel both say there are no plans to paint over or otherwise change this artwork at the Healdsburg High School campus.
By Paula Lombardi
Art will combine with local history on a huge scale in the coming weeks when artist Dan Lopez begins his six-panel heritage mural on the outside walls of Smith Robinson Gymnasium.
A resource specialist with the Migrant Education Program in local schools this year, the longtime artist will present the Healdsburg area’s history, from the large Pomo Indian population which made its home here, through the Mexican reign and the coming of the missionaries, to the founding of the City of Healdsburg and its
subsequent growth, including the area’s agricultural history, to modem times.
Each of the six panels depicting this history will be approximately 30 feet high and 15 feet wide. The designs will be painted on a large-scale by Lopez, students at the high school and “any member of the community who’s interested in getting involved,” says the artist.
The huge mural project for the high school got the go-ahead from the school trustees earlier this month. Because Lopez’s work is being funded through Migrant Education, the project will only cost the local school district the price of the paint.
Lopez, who is responsible for the wall murals in the Mexican Village at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds, as well as others around the county, has spent months researching the area’s history to give the upcoming mural appropriate authenticity, “along with some artistic license.”
While Lopez plans to spend most of his time on the mural with migrant education students, he is hoping that the community as a whole will want to get involved. “The greatest effort you can
paint that part of the mural. According to Lopez’s research, Pomos numbered in the thousands in this area before epidemics decimated the population. The second panel reflects the Mexican period, from gauchos to missionaries. City founder Harmon Heald figures prominently in the third mural, along with the store he built on what is now Healdsburg Avenue, gold miners and fur trappers.
The fourth panel features an 1857 map of Healdsburg; the fifth, field workers and local agriculture; and sixth, education, with the city’s schools surrounding students of various ethnic backgrounds. Sketches for the last three murals are as yet not complete, but all six of the panels are set against a backdrop of the rolling hills surrounding Healdsburg. A circle at the top of each contains a symbol of some sort which best depicts the spirit of the times.
In the Pomo panel, a Shaman is shown, while a mission is highlighted in the second and a gold miner in the third. “I wanted each panel to have its own sense of dignity,” says Lopez, “but without any moral, social or political comments.”
make is to accomplish something beautiful in life,” says the artist. “The mural is a way that we, as a collective society, can leave something beautiful behind.”
The theme behind the six panels of the mural, he says, is to show that individuals and various cultures played a unique and important role in the development of the Healdsburg area. And the characters that grace the panels are reflections of this. In addition to Pomo Indians, there are gold miners and fur trappers, Mexican cowboys and Chinese railroad laborers.
The first panel is dedicated to the Pomo Indians and Lopez is hoping to locate some Pomo descendants to help
The mural will be painted with a thick, high-quality paint, explains Lopez, and the gymnasium wall was selected for its protection from constant, strong sunlight. With these two factors involved, the mural should lead a relatively long life on the Smith Robinson walls.
Lopez encourages anyone interested in volunteering on the mural project to contact him at HHS, 431-3420. “I’m hoping to raise a positive environment through art,” says Lopez. His mural, he adds, strives to depict individuals of different cultures contributing to the Healdsburg area and helping shape it into how we see it today. “I hope it shows that we’re all beautiful, that we’re all contributors.”

Have a sensory sound bath
● Connect to the ‘hear and now’ with the science of cymatics
By Pierre Ratte
It’s a little kooky. A little spooky. A little ooky. Woo-woo, but also pretty cool. It’s called sound bathing. No better place to do it than in the middle of a lavender labyrinth in Sonoma County at sunset!
Bees N Blooms, just across the street
from the entrance to Taylor Mountain Regional Park, hosts a weekly sound-bathing experience. It’s in its fifth year. Blue Muse and the Celestial Voice group coordinates the playing of gongs, bowls, native drums, ocean drums, stream rattles, didgeridoos and chimes to create a “massage of sound.” The experience takes place on a circular grassy lawn saturated in lavender aromas.
If you like to meditate and enter a profound connection to the hear and now— pun, drum flair—consider a sound bath.
Although there are many ways to enter a meditative state, such as following the rhythm of one’s breath, another easy way is to focus on a single sense. Sound is often chosen because it is uniquely immersive.
Whenever attention is directed to a single sense—whether touch, taste, smell, sight or sound—and focused for an extended period of time, meditation begins. Sensory perception, by default, is in the present moment. Experiencing the present moment is meditation: past hurts fade, future worries lessen, the present enlivens. Enlightened people reportedly integrate attention to multiple senses in the present moment, creating special awareness and a unique presence.
Fun Facts: Bees N Blooms is located at 3883 Petaluma Hill Rd. Sound bathing experiences are every Monday from 7-8pm, continuing through the first Monday in October. Go early to walk around the labyrinth and get a choice spot to lay down for the experience. Buy tickets online in advance. Dress warmly.
Sounds as a form of healing are associated with ancient sources. Tibetans use singing bowls, sometimes crafted from seven metals representing seven chakras. Egyptian and Greek cultures invoked musical elements in ritual purifications as early as 3,000 B.C.E. Modern interest in harmonic healing begins with Swiss scientist Hans Jenny’s work in cymatics. A medical doctor, he pioneered studies of wave phenomena and sounds’ effects on organizing matter, coining the term “cymatics.”
Cymatics, or tones applied to particles, demonstrates order from chaos where random particles self-organize. Play a low tone and sand on a vibrating drum head forms concentric circles. Play higher tones and particles self-organize into mandalas and other complex fractal patterns. Maybe not so woo-woo after all.

Kelley has long advocated for this choice. Writing in The Healdsburg Tribune, she called the Valley oak “a keystone, or anchor species, in this unique ecological bioregion,” and warned that it is in decline due to development pressures and climate change.

Another new coach to lead Healdsburg team
● Taylor Tappin has familiar name, familiar challenges
By Caleb Knudsen
When the 2025 prep football season begins this Friday with a game at Rec Park, the “new look” Greyhounds will take the field with a new roster of starters, including some significant returns— and a new coach in Taylor Tappin. It’s getting to be an old story: This is the third straight year a new coach will take control of the team, the sixth time in eight years. That must be counted as a factor for the disappointing record the Greyhounds have run up since their last winning season, 2013. Perhaps, say the faithful again, this year will be different. Much has been made of Tappin’s
local roots—his grandfather Harry Tappin was a “legendary” basketball coach at Healdsburg High. But Tappin’s certainly not just a legacy hire: the 6-foot4-inch-tall 29-year-old played two years of varsity football at Windsor High, then took his skills as offensive lineman to Sac State. While working on a civil engineering degree, he moonlighted as a professional player in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the United Football League (UFL). According to Wikipedia, Tappin announced his retirement from football in February 2024.
Even while still playing for the pro leagues, he couldn’t stay away from Sonoma County, returning as an assis-
tant coach first to Windsor then to Analy. Last year he coached under firstyear head coach Criss Rosales at Healdsburg High. We spoke with him following an after-school practice last week as the team headed for the locker room, asking about last year’s season.
“Last year I helped out with the offensive line and strength conditioning,” he said. “And helped a lot with the run game, and overall whatever was needed.”
Being a head coach is different than being a line coach, however, as Tappin is well aware. When asked whether he’ll do things differently than Rosales this year, he answered, “Probably a few things. I mean everyone is going to have their different preferences on what they want to do. So there’s definitely some different stuff, but not too much.”
One common element between last year and this is Frank Rea Jr. Though still only a junior, this year he’ll be the starting quarterback, filling the shoes of Nova Perrill.
Rea is a multisport athlete. In the 2024-25 sports seasons, he was also a point guard with the Greyhound basketball team, and second baseman in spring baseball. “There isn’t a lot of stuff athletically that Frank can’t do,” Tappin said. “We’re pretty fortunate to have a guy like that back there.”
Last year’s football statistics proved he can run, and team practices over a year ago demonstrated he could pass for distance and accuracy. But he’s still only a junior, and one must ask if he has the characteristics of leadership and control that a quarterback must project.
“He’s definitely a good player to build a team around,” the coach said without hesitation. “He’s got a positive attitude. He works hard, knows his stuff, does everything that a coach could ever want a guy to do.”
Other returning all-league players include senior receivers Max Morris and Hayden Mariani, all-league lineman Isaiah Robles, and others. The team will be playing at less than full strength for the first three games, as several players are in suspension due to a final-game dust-up last season against Sonoma Valley. The starting lineup will be affected, and possibly the results, but come Game 4, Sept. 19 in Willits, the Greyhound team will be playing at full strength.
When asked what fans should expect of this year’s Hounds, Tappin said, “Just come out and be ready to see some good plays, good football, a lot of plays being made, some good athletes and fun stuff.”
Last year’s coach, Criss Rosas, was disappointed at not lasting longer than one year, a situation he ascribed to “egos.” But he’s landed where he wants to be, as quarterback coach and offensive co-coordinator for Montgomery, under their new coach Anthony Bautista.
The day after we spoke with Tappin, the football team got up early and boarded a bus for a multi-team scrimmage with Casa Grande, Montgomery and Santa Rosa also on the field. Then it was back to another week of practice and runthroughs before the season’s first game, against Fremont’s George Washington High (4-7 last year) under the “Friday Night Lights” at Rec Park.

Volleyball Hounds win their opener
By Caleb Knudsen
If Jonathan Nuttall is half the coach he is cheerleader, the Healdsburg Greyhounds volleyball team is headed for the playoffs. Only in his second year as a high school head coach, the youthful design-engineer-by-day, volleyball-coach-by-night is already surprised by this year’s team.
“Maybe it’ll be less of a rebuilding year than I had initially thought it would be,” he mused before a midweek practice in the newly christened Frost Gym (formerly the East Gym). “The emotional, the attitude side of the team, really caught me off guard this year. I think they’re playing really, really well together.”
That was demonstrated right out of the gate, in the Lady Hounds first match
of the season last Thursday, Aug. 21, in Cloverdale. Healdsburg took the bestof-five match in a 3-0 sweep. “It was surprisingly emotional for all of us, I think, which caught me off guard,” said the coach. “But yeah, I think getting a win like that in a full best-of-five match was really important. Last year we only had two matches the whole year that we won in an actual five-set match.”
Last year’s girls volleyball team also didn’t get its first win until after 10 long games, and ended the season 7-20 overall, 3-7 in the North Bay – Redwood league. This year it won twice in the first three days, following up its Aug. 21 win with a 2-0 tournament defeat of Paradise in the Nor-Cal Invitational at Vin-

ing Valley Oaks,” she wrote, “we will learn to take better care of them and understand how their shade and beauty make a positive difference in our daily lives.”
Supporters also cited cultural and ecological significance of the oaks and the other nominated species as well. Acorns from local oaks were a staple food for Indigenous populations, and the trees provide habitat for many species. The California native grape, while less recognized locally, had historic value: its rootstock helped rescue global viticulture during the 19th-century phylloxera infestation.
The survey generated 67 written comments, with most expressing appreciation for the project. Some residents suggested additional candidates, including roses, prune trees and Western redbud. But the prevailing sentiment in comments was appreciation for the city’s effort to recognize native plant life. “Thank you for this project,” read one of them. “Trees are so important to cooling our town in the warm months, and then when their leaves drop in the fall they build the soils beneath them. I hope the Valley Oak is designated as our official tree.”
tage High on Aug. 23.
“I think we did okay last year. We’re a lot more on top of things this year and it’s making it easier for us to focus on the kids at the start of the season instead of scrambling,” Nuttall said.
Though the team lost five players to graduation last year, this year’s team is bigger—it can field freshman and junior varsity teams at every opportunity. “A lot of young girls are coming and joining the team with less experience than some of the older ones,” he said. “But the older girls are stepping up as leaders.”
This year’s roster includes three seniors who were starters last year—Siena Sbragia at setter, Josie Mork hitting outside and Tatum Kiff hitting right side. “They were already key parts of the team last year,” Nuttall said. “They’re looking significantly better than they did last year already. And they’re really starting to take charge of the team, to take ownership, which you love to see.”
Healdsburg volleyball fans will have many opportunities to see the girls’ teams, all three of them, in action at Frost Hall this fall. Home matches began this Tuesday with a meeting against Credo; on Thursday, St. Helena comes calling. Varsity games start around 6pm.
Tree preservation has become a recurring local issue. In 2024, plans for a Montage Healdsburg parking lot threatened more than 100 Blue oaks before being abandoned. Also last summer, a diseased Valley oak at Hudson and Fitch was removed during development of a community garden.
The council reached a decision with little debate, though the conversation took a detour to speculate about how a single Valley oak in particular might be chosen as representative of the city’s official plant, and perhaps given its own name (like the Eisenhower Redwood at Villa Chanticleer).
That suggestion gave Councilmember David Hagele a chance to jokingly propose that another survey might be called for. Said Councilmember Ariel Kelley, “Everyone submit photos, and we choose a name—like Oakie Dokie!”
Questions were also raised about whether the city’s grape-leaf logo should change, though no action was proposed. Neighboring Windsor’s logo already depicts a spreading oak of uncertain type, though Windsor has not designated an official plant.
At this point however there are no firm plans to select a specific tree, or to give it a name. The Community Services Department will bring forward a resolution to confirm the selection in the coming weeks. Once approved, the Valley oak, Quercus lobata, will formally stand as Healdsburg’s emblematic plant.

On the city’s part, the City Council listed “commitments” that included “enhanced training” for council members, staff and city commissioners “on the Brown Act, use of social media, and public records.” New policies “designed to provide greater clarity and specificity on City Council agendas” were promised, this likely due to actions taken in meetings that were not anticipated by the agenda, and misleading closed session agenda.
Also at stake was a backlog of approved minutes by the council, which had lapsed by over a year when Eisenberg’s action was filed. Since that time multiple city agendas have been published and approved, and the “backlog” is only five months at present as minutes from the meetings of Feb. 3 and Feb. 18, 2025, were approved in the most recent council meeting on Aug. 18.
Eisenberg provided a statement following the city’s announced settlement. “Yes, I am very satisfied with the result,” it read. “It achieves the enhanced governmental transparency I’ve been seeking…
“But the litigation shouldn’t have been necessary. The settlement agreement closely resembles the settlement proposal I made to the City Council at the end of 2024—before I commenced the litigation—which the Council flatly rejected. Ultimately, the Council will have needlessly spent $150,000 on attorney’s fees—the Council’s and mine—only to yield to my modest and reasonable proposals.”
