McGuire’s election gamble
● Vows to deliver ‘every damn day’
By Christian Kallen
Last Friday, State Sen. Mike McGuire announced his campaign to run for Congress in the
upcoming special election for California’s 1st Congressional District, to fill the remainder of Rep. Doug LaMalfa’s Congressional term.
LaMalfa died during emergency surgery on Jan. 6. He had represented California’s 1st Congressional District from 2013 until his death. That district was redrawn in a special election for Prop. 50 in November, creating a more Democratic-leaning district to counter Texas’ redrawn districts to create new Republican-leaning districts.
But the election to fill the remaining months of LaMalfa’s term will take place on Aug. 5, almost two months after the state primary for the “new” 1st District seat. Even if it goes to a Republican, that congressman will likely serve only two months, into January 2027.
In January, Republican James Gallagher announced his intention to run in the special election to take over the seat held by LaMalfa, his mentor. However

TEDx Sonoma changes points of view
● Annual assembly of ‘ideas worth spreading’ March 7
By Christian Kallen
“This must be the place,” Brigham Young reportedly said when his followers brought him, bedridden, to Utah. It’s a saying that is not so much a geographical discovery, but a psychological one: No matter where you go, there you are. Be here now. The only thing you can change is your mind.
It’s not so difficult to accept that viewpoint in Sonoma County, where every place looks pretty good anyway. There are agricultural valleys, business parks, schools, regional and state parks. Recently we even had snow.
“Sonoma County is an ideal location for TEDx,” said Marilyn Nagel, executive producer of TEDx Sonoma County. “TEDx thrives where there is a high den-
sity of ideas, diverse storytellers and an audience hungry for connection.” She is the “license holder” of the TEDx brand and of the 14-year-old mini-lecture series. “Sonoma County is ideal because we invest in creativity as a driver of economy, cohesion and identity.”
This is the localized version of the TED conference— technology, education and design—that began in 1984 but is now widely diversified. Now grown beyond simple presentations with signature 20-minute speeches, the hatchery of “ideas worth spreading” broadcasts through podcasts, educational programming and thousands of the TEDx events, each independently produced.

REPORT
City Council meeting of Feb. 17
● Revised land use codes, March Avenue paving highlight agenda
Submitted by City of Healdsburg
March Avenue
The City Council awarded a bid to Argonaut Constructors for the long-awaited March Avenue reconstruction project. The $2.7 million project will completely rebuild March Avenue, from Healdsburg Avenue to University Street. Work will begin next month and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. In addition to new pavement, the work will replace water lines and fire hydrant laterals, upgrade curb ramps, enhance crosswalks at Lupine and Prentice, plus include bike lanes and drainage improvements.
Land Use Code Evolves
In recent years, the California state legislature has adopted changes to state law aimed at increasing the supply and diversity of housing throughout California, to incentivize the production of housing. While these laws represent a loss of local control, they also present an opportunity to address the need for working class “missing middle” housing throughout the state.
At the Feb. 17 meeting, the City Council adopted two ordinances that update local codes to comply with state law. The City has been subject all along to these laws; updating the land use code aligns local regulations with state law.
One ordinance will implement Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), or the Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME ACT). The state senate bill requires cities to allow two-unit development and urban lot splits on lots that are zoned for single-family homes. The City’s ordinance
limits the size of these units and requires that projects meet City standards in the Healdsburg Municipal Code.
The second ordinance combines two California Senate bills that increase densities by allowing up to 10 units to be built on vacant residential parcels and on parcels zoned for multi-family housing. This conforms with SB 684 and SB 1123, which aim to streamline small-scale development. Staff does not expect a rush of new projects as a result of these changes.
City Budget
The City of Healdsburg operates on a two-year budget cycle. The next budget will encompass two fiscal years, from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. All City departments are engaged in planning and forecasting their budgets, and the City has just launched a set of interactive tools that allow residents to take part in a simulated budget-balancing exercise.
The budget simulation tool allows anyone to adjust revenues and expenditures, then provide their thoughts and comments on each department’s budget. The priorities tool is a simple and engaging exercise where a user can review a group of City priorities, programs and services like parks, streets, police and more, and prioritize what matters most.
Two public meetings will be held next week for the public to learn more about the budget process, submit input and/or use the tool. The first is in Spanish on Tuesday, March 3, at Abel De Luna Community Center, 1557 Healdsburg Avenue, at 6pm; and the second is an English session on Wednesday at the Healdsburg Senior Center, 133 Matheson St., also at 6pm.

no candidates have officially filed for the race, according to the California Secretary of State. The filing deadline is April 9. McGuire’s entry into this special election was something of a surprise. He is a sitting State senator, representing his hometown of Healdsburg as well as south into Marin County and north along the Pacific coast to Del Norte. As he is terming out of that seat, he had already announced for the newly redrawn CA-01 District, which Prop. 50 made more likely to be a Democratic seat by including Sonoma County.
“The hardworking folks of the North State deserve representation that fights every day and delivers for good rural jobs, our hospitals and health centers, high qual-
TEDx attendees, however, recognize the concept as broad enough, and true enough, to encompass a range of speakers and their thought-provoking ideas.
It’s not the common message that the speakers communicate, but their uncommon messages. Those breakthroughs can be for the individuals who make them.
Take Festus Ezeli, a Nigerian-born former Golden State Warrior whose professional career was cut short by injuries—but not before he received an NBL championship ring in 2015. He has been able to carry the lessons he learned playing basketball at the highest levels into later projects, among them Festus Feasts, a food program on YouTube. A recent edition—youtube.com/
ity public schools and the unique needs of rural communities,” McGuire said.
“We’re laser focused on flipping the First, flipping the House, and delivering for working families and rural communities,” said McGuire.
Although the popular and energetic McGuire, who last year served as the president of the State Senate, is seen as a favorite in the newly redrawn 1st District, he faces opposition from seven other candidates—including five other Democrats. Audrey Denney has run against LaMalfa in previous elections, but has not been able to unseat him.
However, District CA-01 as currently drawn does not include Sonoma County, nor McGuire’s Geyserville residence. The new district boundaries will be reflected in the June primary and November general elections. But a candidate only has to be a resident of the state, not the district for which he or she is running, according to the U.S. Constitution.
Zones Project Petaluma. That organization is an offshoot of the National Geographic’s study of the international regions with high concentrations of people living long, healthy lives and the common traits they share, distilled down to a local level. Its mission is to improve community wellbeing and increase longevity by making healthy choices, creating a blueprint for better living.
All of the speakers are new to this year’s TEDx Sonoma, as is usually the case. Though several are well-known in their fields, they may not have a wide following—at least until they get the opportunity to speak before the open-minded, intelligent Sonoma County audience.
Some are researchers, like sleep and productivity expert Lyndsay Scola, author of AI for ADHD: A Practical Guide For Starting (and actually finishing) What Matters. Other speakers explore beneficent use of social media, or transformation through exercise or music or by means of personal health app.
watch?v=SK4sALVA5Uo—visited The Matheson as Dustin Valette introduced the ball player to an all-chocolate menu, “an evolutionary dining experience.”
Another local angle comes from Shelina Moreda, born and raised in Petaluma, whose motto is, “I race every kind of motorcycle I can get my hands on.”
Her career demonstrates how seriously she takes that pledge, even running Girlz MotoCamps for those who would follow in her dust. Plus, she finds time to double as a CoverGirl model. Oh, and she started an animal survival nonprofit in 2017. Somewhere in that resume is surely at least one idea worth sharing.
Also promising is Nichole Warwick, the new executive director of the Blue
McGuire is unhesitating in pursuing the interim as well as permanent seat in Congress. “We’re excited to be running in both elections, earning every vote, in every community, in every county throughout the North State.” He’s shown his commitment over the past 90 days with “28 town halls and community meetings in every county in the First Congressional District.”
Further, should McGuire win the Aug. 5 special election, he would need to resign his State Senate seat to take office, which might not make a significant difference statewide. But it would put another Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which could be crucial in any congressional effort to limit or correct President Trump’s power at the national level during the remainder of 2026.
“The stakes for this country are too high and we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines,” he added. “I’m all in to deliver for the North State. Every damn day.”
Then there’s Mauricio Umansky. The real estate mogul and entrepreneur known to many from his time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo or his Netflix show, Buying Beverly Hills, will talk about something relevant to these times, the fuzzy lines between authenticity and performance.
Those lines blur at a TEDx Sonoma event, as the speakers are fully trained in the winning techniques of public communication. That may lead to some predictability in their means of messaging, but it can’t hide the diversity in their insights, observations or sometimes audacious ideas.
TEDx Sonoma County is Saturday March 7, at Sonoma Country Day School, 4400 Day School Place, Santa Rosa. Tickets $74 plus fees at tedxsonomacounty.com.

Romance about genetic disease
● Cloverdale stage world premieres Ron Nash’s newest effort
By Christian Kallen
The Raven Players’ ScripTease program is its unusual way to gather original plays for production, based on submissions every spring (March through May). From these, scripts are selected for public readings at several points in the year. Sometimes, a submitted play gets produced by the Raven Players for public performance.
That’s the case with A Good Deal, opening this Friday at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center. However it is by no means an amateur play; Ron Nash says he’s written
about 30 plays, and directed many more, over his 50-plus years in the theater.
“When I started writing plays, it was all typewriter, cut and paste. When you made changes, it was literal—cut this out,” said Nash, now a sparky 84 years old, over a glass of wine at Little Saint. “When I went to grad school, computers were just coming out. First I had a word processor where you could only do like 20 pages.” By the time the ’80s rolled around and the computers we know today became available, he could actually write the whole thing on a machine.
While he admits writing on a computer has its advantages, he’s clear on the limits. “It’s made the writing, the editing part of the writing better,” he said. “But it doesn’t make you a better playwright— that comes with your abilities.”
Angry Young Man
The arts did not beckon when Nash was a young man—far from it. “I was in trouble mentally in high school. I was angry, angry, angry,” he said. He even got kicked out of school, but his athletic ability—he was a hurdlers champion in track—earned him a scholarship to college.
In his first class, Introduction to the Arts, the teacher told the students, “Theater is a social history of the world. If you want to know about what’s happening in Elizabethan times, don’t read a history book. See one of Shakespeare’s plays,” Nash recalled. “I was effin’ hooked. And I never looked back.”
His C.V. is three pages of single-space play titles, the early ones dating from the 1980s. He earned an MFA in playwriting from Carnegie Mellon University in
Pittsburgh, and his credits include set designer, technical director, lighting designer, 30-plus plays as writer and over 100 as director.
Nash is a “man of the theater” in the old style, with productions in several states and in Europe, an accomplishment he proudly sums up as: “I did make a living. That’s the point. I made a living in the theater. Which is, as you know, almost impossible—I should say effing impossible.”
His newest play, A Good Deal , is billed as “brimming with humanity and humor… a bittersweet tale of love, loss, and family connections.”
It’s also a play about a rare genetic disease, von Hippel-Lindau (VHL). “My first wife saw her father die of a mysterious disease in their living room,” Nash said. “When her brother was a high school senior, he lost sight in one eye, and by then they knew what it was.”
The disease brings an increased risk of having cancerous and noncancerous tumors that can develop throughout one’s body and throughout one’s life. Nash’s first wife’s brother had a successful career as a historian, though he became fully blind.
“So in this play, I wanted to get that in. It’s kind of a sad romance,” he said. “It’s about struggle and coming together in the face of adversity, I’d say. And love.”
Nash lives in Santa Rosa half the year, the rest in the Catskills of New York, where he built his own cabin. He showed me his hands when he mentioned this, and they looked capable of just about anything—writing a play, building a stage and making a living in theater.
‘A Good Deal’ is performed from Feb. 27–March 8 on weekends; Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2pm; at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center, 209 North Cloverdale Blvd. Tickets $25 adults, $10 under 18, at raventheater.org.

SPORTS
NCS division title game next for Lady Hounds
● Healdsburg’s girls one win away from basketball history
By Caleb Knudsen
The Healdsburg girls basketball team is on the verge of a benchmark of success that has eluded it for decades. Depending on the results of the Tuesday night game against Division 5 North Coast Section championship series, the Hounds could end up in the upcoming final match—or settle for a third place in the annual playoffs.
The Greyhound girls have had several successful league seasons of late, but 2026 was not one of them. They finished in fourth place, lagging behind Ukiah, Santa Rosa and St. Vincent with a 4-6 record.
This still gave them a spot in the Redwood playoffs that began on Feb. 10 against Ukiah, but the embarrassing 53-26 result didn’t do team morale any good.
Yet as coaches keep reminding players, their parents and the press, a team’s division standing is a better metric for their skills than simply league results. For example, the undefeated Redwood champ Ukiah fell in the first round of their Division 2 playoffs to Marin Catholic.
Healdsburg is in Division 5, composed of much smaller public schools. Even so it came into the championship series seeded fourth, a pretty high ranking for an 11-17 team and one that brings a
home-field advantage. The team proved it merited the status by winning the first game of the playoffs, on Feb. 17, against the Emerald Aeronauts of Dublin.
Behind 31-29 at the half, the Hounds came out ready to hunt and scored 20 points in the third quarter to wipe away the Emerald lead, eventually winning at 56-43.
Next step was when Healdsburg met Credo of Rohnert Park on Friday—where it defeated the #5-seeded school, 35-28. That put the Greyhounds into the division semifinals for the first time since 2003, said coach Cassidy Jourdan.
“Making it this far in the playoffs has been a really great boost of confidence
for our team!” she said. “We play in a competitive league, and we had a few tough losses at the end of our season before we headed into the NCS playoffs.”
With those losses to Santa Rosa, St. Vincent and Ukiah behind them, this year’s Lady Hounds are digging down to remember what it’s like to win, Jourdan said.
“We had to come together as a group and re-commit to this postseason run, because it can be difficult at the end of a long season to find the grit and determination to keep going,” she said, adding, “When everyone finally arrived at that ‘Yes, let’s do it!’ moment, these girls showed up to practice every day to work.”
That they did: Claire Berry scored 21 points in the Emerald game, while Amber Dhiman connected for three 3-pointers in her 11-point output against Credo. Sister Meher Dhiman, and sisters Ameilia and Ava Wickersham, have all upped their game in the post season.
The semifinals opponent Gateway is seeded #9, but that may be deceptive: The San Francisco school’s team soundly defeated the top-seed The Bay School in the quarterfinals, 43-33. Despite the ranking the two schools will play for a common goal: To make it into the Division 5 finals game scheduled for Feb. 28. Only one will make it.
UPDATE: Healdsburg prevailed in the semifinal game on Tuesday night, defeating Gateway 54-45. It was a tight game throughout, but the Hounds remained focused and composed to the end. They next meet San Domenico on Saturday. Read the updated story at healdsburgtribune.com.

Big skiing in Big Sky country
● Newsman Chet Huntley helped launch ski resort
By Pierre Ratte
The chutes, the snow, the terrain and the size of the mountain all contribute to Big Sky’s allure as a world-class skiing experience. Impossible to capture in a single picture, this peak-a-boo shot through Douglas fir branches provides a glimpse of the Rockies’ ruggedness in the Gallatin Canyon Basin of Montana.
Big Sky’s resort is a mixture of new and old. New includes a tram, opened this year, getting skiers and sightseers to a mountain lodge hanging off Lone Peak’s summit cliff. A cliff featuring a dozen nearly vertical chutes; ski-able for those who sign a waiver. New also includes an 8-person chair lift with heated seats, auto open-and-close safety bars and Plexiglas bubbles protecting riders from wind and snow. Old includes a small mercantile store with quaint ski clothes—no fancy Aspen, Deer Valley or Vail gear with loud colors. Old also includes a modest and sparsely populated lodge at the Madison Base hosting family picnics and a few people waiting in a short line for reasonably priced food.
The experience of skiing without crowds is a throwback to the “old days” before new equipment and the sport’s
accessibility put thousands on the slopes. Ski down an uncrowded slope and, like the olden days, ski right onto a lift. Actually (checking notes), ski right onto a lift after RFID chip readers automatically open individual gates, magic carpets perfectly position skis, chairs gracefully slow down and heated seats beckon a warm ride up.
FUN
FACTS: From 1956 Chet Huntley anchored NBC’s nightly news, then in 1970 he retired to help start Big Sky Resort in his home state of Montana. The resort is located in the beautiful Gallatin Gateway area, which is an entry into Yellowstone and famous for the confluence of three rivers forming the headwaters of the Missouri. Lewis and Clark named the three rivers for the men most responsible for their expedition: President Jefferson, Secretary of State Madison and Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin. In such a remote Montana location, Big Sky got off to a rocky start (pun done). In 1976, the resort was acquired by Everett Kircher of Boyne Resorts. Over the next 50 years Boyne Resorts, a family-owned and -operated company, shepherded the resort to its present modern-and-old-style blend.
WINNING TEAM After the Hounds ran out the clock for the 54-45 win over Gateway, the girls race to the bench to receive coach Cassidy Jourdan’s congratulations and hugs.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may
be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924¢g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale, If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 or visit this internet website www. ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 25-02166-LC-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” you may be able to purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 888-264-4010, or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-02166-LC-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.
