Lady Hounds fight for position

Cassidy Jourdan, a former HHS athletic star and now coach of the girls basketball team, goes over strategy with the team during practice on Feb. 2. Center Claire Berry (11), facing the camera, was not able to play in the Feb. 4 game due to her ejection from the recent Piner game.

Process begins for Station Area

● $1.13 million grant to kickstart planning

Staff Report

The City of Healdsburg has begun planning for the eventual arrival of SMART, perhaps

as soon as the end of 2028. The planning began at Monday’s City Council meeting, when the five-member board heard from Planning Director Scott Duiven about the formation of a Healdsburg Station Area Specific Plan and the formation of two Community Advisory Committees to contribute to the process.

The project is funded by a $1.13 million grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission through its Transit-Oriented Communities

(TOC) program. The program encourages cities to concentrate housing, jobs and services near public transit so people can get around more easily without relying on cars.

While Healdsburg’s recently adopted Housing Element positions the city well to meet TOC requirements related to affordable housing production, preservation and protection, preparation of a Specific Plan is necessary to address TOC

HHS ‘legend’ Cassidy Jourdan leads the charge

● Fourth-quarter ‘eruption’ distracts from Piner basketball victory

By Caleb Knudsen

Only a week remains in the 202526 North Coast Section basketball season, and the Healdsburg girls are destined again for the post-season Shaughnessy tournament, as they have a lock on one of the top four places in the six-team league. They won’t make the top spot—Ukiah is 8-0— but second place is within reach for the 4-4 Greyhounds.

It’s been a strong showing under first-year coach Cassidy Jourdan, who herself was a Healdsburg High star athlete—not only in basketball but volleyball and softball as well during her four years at HHS, from 2008–2012. “I loved sports,” she said. “I loved them all. I even went to college for sports management. It really was my entire life.”

So committed, and excellent, was she that she will claim a place in the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame at the “Legends Ball” celebration on Feb. 22 at Villa Chanticleer.

The mixed results for this season have something to do with the fact that the girls lost four senior starters last year. Only center Claire Berry remains, and ironically she was at the center of a kerfuffle in last week’s Piner game that made headlines in the region’s sports pages.

“It kind of started with the JV game; tensions were kind of high,” recalled the coach of the Jan. 30 games at Smith Robinson Hall. The tension continued when the two varsity squads took the field. Piner’s Robert Reece is a very passionate head coach, loudly exhort— More on page 6

requirements related to minimum residential and commercial office densities, parking management, and station access and circulation.

The Specific Plan will also integrate land use, housing, employment, transportation and infrastructure planning for the South Entry Area, which currently lacks public utilities, including water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure. The planning area is specifically defined by a half-mile radius from the planned SMART station, but that includes almost all of downtown and extends into the South Entry area on the far side of Memorial bridge.

The plan is also designed to help Healdsburg stay competitive for future regional transportation and housing funding, including One Bay Area Grants.

Following execution of the funding agreement, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a qualified consultant team to assist with preparation of the Specific Plan. The RFP was released on Jan. 6 of this year, with proposals due Feb. 20. In his presentation to the council, Duiven anticipated completing proposal review and selecting a consultant by the end of March, with City Council consideration of a contract award tentatively scheduled for April 6.

Upon contract execution, work on the Specific Plan will begin and continue for about three years. Grant funds must be expended by June 30, 2029, which may or may not be simultaneous with the arrival of SMART service to Healdsburg.

Duiven emphasized that robust community engagement will be essential to the success of the planning effort. Outreach will seek participation from residents of all income levels, races and ethnic backgrounds; employees of local businesses; community- and faith-based organizations; and public agencies providing services in the plan area.

Two advisory committees will be established to support plan development: a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to provide technical expertise and review plan materials for accuracy and feasibility; and a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) that will provide community input throughout the planning process.

Membership may include residents, property owners and business owners within the plan area; representatives of the development community; members of local organizations; and residents and business owners from outside the plan area.

While the usual method of selecting commission or committee members is to have a two-person subcommittee of the council evaluate applications, it eventually decided to focus on selection of

The good, the bad and the Oscars

● A survey of what was nominated and what was overlooked by the Academy this year

By Jared Rasic

Here’s how I know my brain is a giant old warehouse full of contradictions: I hold space for the two competing thoughts that the Oscars are an out-of-touch racket that only celebrate films with marketing budgets in the tens of millions, while also obsessively theorizing for weeks over what will get nominated and then making guesses on what will actually win. I hate the Oscars and I love the Oscars and never the twain shall meet.

Now that the nominations have been announced, let’s talk about them and what people should try to see before the big show. And once we get closer (the Oscars are March 15 this year), I’ll write my annual piece on what will win versus what should win. Either way, I’ll put a lot of thought into an awards ceremony that compares disparate pieces of art and confuses what’s “best” with what’s the most popular.

First of all, there were some snubs this year that I should have expected, but they still bother me.

Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice feels like the South Korean master leaning into his Coen Brothers period with a comedy so dark and suspenseful that I didn’t know whether to laugh or call my thera-

pist. Not to be nominated for Best Picture, Director, Production Design, Cinematography, International Feature Film or Lee Byung Hun for Best Actor is insane.

There is no world in which the forgettably entertaining F1 or the visually stunning but dramatically inert Frankenstein should take up space in the Best Picture race when films like No Other Choice ; Eddington; The Life of Chuck; The Testament of Ann Lee; Sorry, Baby; On Becoming a Guinea Fowl or Blue Moon exist.

I can complain about the snubs all day long to no avail. There should be recognition for William H. Macy, Felicity Jones and Joel Edgerton for their acting in Train Dreams; Jafar Panahi’s direction of It Was Just an Accident ; Paul Mescal’s work in Hamnet ; the screenplays for Black Bag, Eddington and Nouvelle Vague ; the production design for The Phoenician Scheme; Eva Victor’s acting/ writing in Sorry, Baby; or the cinematography in Weapons and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You…, among many others.

Still, the Academy got quite a bit right. Ethan Hawke was a longshot to be nominated for Blue Moon, and has a less-thanzero chance of winning, but his work is so heartbroken and tender that it deserves the spotlight. He’s in nearly every frame of the film and he luxuriates in the bril-

liance of Robert Kaplow’s (also unlikely to win) crackling dialogue.

Sinners getting nominated for 16 awards is astonishing because not only is it a great movie, but the Academy doesn’t usually recognize or reward genre films. Don’t quote me on this, but it feels like the last time something “fantastical” was given the respect it deserved by the Oscars was 2003’s Return of the King The problem is because Sinners is nominated for so many awards, it’s unlikely to win very many of them. I think it’s guaranteed to win for score and cinematography, but everything else is up in the air.

For those looking to catch as many of these films as they can before the Oscars, here are a few recommendations:

Even those who don’t like vampires should watch Sinners. This movie will only grow in esteem over the years and has more to say about race in America than anyone can catch in a single viewing.

Timothée Chalamet’s inability to hide his desperation to be considered a generationally great actor is off-putting, but his work in Marty Supreme is undeniable. The film (and his performance) is colossal and only grows the more one thinks about it, but I still don’t really want to watch it again and soak in that level of anxiety again.

Benicio del Toro’s and Teyona Taylor’s effortless charisma in One Battle After Another ; Rose Byrne’s astonishing deconstruction of motherhood in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You...; the stunning animated short Retirement Plan; the singularly brilliant live-action short Two People Exchanging Saliva ; the poetry of the Pacific Northwest seen from Adolpho Veloso’s cinematography in Train Dreams; Ruth E. Carter’s immaculate period costuming and Ludwig Goransson’s all-time classic score in

Sinners; and the deceptive brilliance of Brazil’s The Secret Agent are all genuinely great works that have made 2025 one of the finest years for films of the century. Watch what you can, but don’t stress. These movies will last.

Even as I bemoan the films I know will lose or didn’t even get nominated, I still love celebrating movies, an art form I have spent nearly half my life writing about. These artists and their films deserve to be recognized because, at the end of the day, making a movie is a minor miracle, and making a great one is something even more ephemeral and rare. They’re pieces of forever that we are lucky enough to experience in our all-too-brief lifetimes.

Tribune To Be Managed by High School Students in Editor’s Absence

The editor of the Tribune and his eldest daughter will participate in the excursion of the California Press Association to New Orleans, leaving San Francisco Sunday morning, February 10th, and during his absence of two weeks the Tribune will be edited and managed by the pupils of the Healdsburg High School. The Tribune of the issues of February 14th and 21st will demonstrate what the bright boys and girls of the Healdsburg High School are capable of in this line. The fourth-year class will have editorial charge of the paper, and they will be assisted by appointees from the other classes. Harry Bell and Ezra Will have been chosen by their classmates as managing editors for next week’s edition, and Miss Esther Will will act in this capacity for the paper of the following week. There is a keen spirit of rivalry between the young ladies and young men of the High School over the work, and the issues will undoubtedly be above the Tri-

bune’s customary excellence from a news standpoint. We bespeak for these young men and women every courtesy usually extended to members of the Press, and it is needless to say they will be worthy representatives of the profession during their short engagement.

Illness Forces School District Move

The Healdsburg School District administrative staff has received a go-ahead from both the elementary and high school

boards to relocate their present offices from 304 Center Street. The sudden move was necessitated by the illness of Assistant Superintendent John Kateley, Budget Secretary Lynn Cadd, and a custodian. While it is still only conjecture, their sickness has been linked to the spraying

of the building by a local pest control firm. The results of a toxicology report will be received next week, which should identify the source of the apparent poisoning. Superintendent Robert Malone said the administration is looking for the right price and the right location.

New coach

ing his team from the sidelines.

A Piner assistant coach had been ejected before the half for throwing a water bottle, but as Jourdan said, “Our priority was keeping the girls composed and focused on the game. Especially in a gym setting, mob mentality can get pretty intense in there.”

People who see a girls basketball game for the first time are often taken aback by the level of physicality in the play. “The girls want to play hard just like the boys do,” Jourdan said. “And I think people aren’t used to seeing, you know, feminine energy being explored in a more masculine way. I mean, it’s a physical sport. Again, there’s obviously a line between physical and dangerous, but we did not cross that line.”

The Lady Hounds were ahead, 35-27, as the fourth quarter got underway, though Jourdan said Piner still had a fighting chance (so to speak). “We still had 6:44 left in the game and last time we played Piner, it was in the fourth quarter that we lost our lead and ended up losing,” she said. “So we were ready to just keep playing basketball, playing the good basketball that was happening that whole game.”

Though Jourdan used the word “erupted” several times in describing what happened in that fourth quarter, she and the involved girls—and witness-

es—denied there was a fight. “I wouldn’t categorize the incident as a physical altercation as has been reported elsewhere, but there was contact between players,” said Matt Jenkins, Healdsburg’s police chief whose daughter Ashley is on the Hounds roster.

“You were able to see tensions starting to build up throughout the night,” he said. “Piner and Healdsburg play each other hard, and it is always a physical matchup. I have to imagine that something was said between players that resulted in what happened, but that is only speculation.”

The heated game drew technical fouls for center Berry, and a confrontation between her and Piner’s Aaliyah Reece (the coach’s daughter) got heated, enough so that the officials called it an “altercation,” which brings an automatic three-game suspension.

But Piner coach Reece found it difficult to calm down, and decided to forfeit rather than put his players “in jeopardy of being hurt,” according to Press Democrat reporting.

“I think it’s very unfortunate the way the game ended Friday; it was clearly an intense match-up,” Berry said this week. “But I think that we were able to stay collected with how Piner reacted. I am looking forward to finishing out the season strong with my team and moving into playoffs. I know nothing of the sort is going to happen again.”

Healdsburg appealed, and was able to get Berry’s suspension reduced to one game, which means she’ll miss Wednesday’s matchup with second-place Santa

Rosa High on Wednesday (results too late for press time).

“I’d also like to add that myself and my team play with passion and like to compete with our opponents,” Berry said. “The outcome really was just an unfortunate thing.”

The upshot of Piner’s forfeit is that the game goes down as a win for Healdsburg.

“Not a great win, you know—it’s always better to win by being the better team,” coach Jourdan said. “But a win’s a win, I guess.”

Berry will be back on the court for Friday’s game against St. Vincent, which will

be Senior Night to recognize Berry, Jenkins, Meher Dhiman and Julia Vega Gallardo.

In the coming years, coach Jourdan and long-time team assistant coach Jackie Sellards will work to build the kind of team they want.

“This is a big building year, both as a program and the culture that we want to have for the girls,” Jourdan said. “We are building the blocks to the foundation of the type of basketball that we want to have here at Healdsburg High School, which obviously has quite the legacy.”

the CAC, leaving the appointment of the more specialized TAC to the planning director.

In fact, the council spent much of its time on the issue of selecting the members of the CAC, the community advisory committee, and how many should be on it. Numbers from 7 (too small) to 40 (too large) were discussed before it landed on 15 members (just right!).

Fedrico Fellini, a keen observer of life and fantasy, said: “A different language is a different vision of life.” More probative is Ludwig Wittgenstein’s: “If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.” The purpose of slang is to bond, establishing a group’s identity and shared values. It can be creativity based, developed for a group to thrive outside norms challenging the status quo. Or it can simply be a cultural subset’s touchstone. To some extent, each generation of youngsters in modern culture builds an identity through slang. In our fast-paced world, Zoomers are flexing.

Still, given the difficulty in getting qualified applicants for such city bodies as the Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation, the expectation that the council will even be faced with an excess of applicants seems questionable. “Anybody who applies is an angel, right?” said Herrod. “We’re super grateful for anyone who raises their hand.”

Vice Mayor Ron Edwards several times emphasized making selections with an eye toward the future, meaning including more young residents, for whom the future of Healdsburg is their future, not their legacy.

While the exact timeline of the committee selections is not set in stone, Herrod thought the next step would be for

Duiven to present an application to the council for its final input, then an active distribution process to recruit members. He did not anticipate any problem in getting applications.

“This is a short-term thing, this is juicier,” he said. “It’s very hands-on, it’s project-oriented.”

At the end of the discussion, when asked if he had enough input from the City Council to proceed with his plans, Duiven said, “I feel like we have plenty. And I also just want to note that this conversation really helps reflect the magnitude of this process, the importance and the opportunity that’s before this city. I appreciate your diving into this.”

He continued, “It is a little bit daunting. I admit, but it’s a great opportunity for this community to look at its future.”

A modest home price bump predicted for 2026

● Also, more homes expected to come on the market

By Janis Mara

Home prices are expected to increase modestly this year over 2025, which one expert described as “the year of the curve ball.”

The median home price is predicted to rise 3.6%, not exactly a home run for home owners but better than the flat 2025 median, according to Jordan Levine, chief economist of the California Association of Realtors.

To get an idea of the relative impact of a 3.6% price increase, the median price of a Santa Clara County home is currently $1,600,000. That would go up to $1,657,800. The median home price in both Santa Cruz and Alameda counties is $1,100,000. A 3.6% increase would raise that to $1,139,600.

“We will eke out modest growth in 2026,” the economist said.

Home prices didn’t increase in 2025 due to factors including a home insurance crisis sparked by the Southern California wildfires, stock market volatility, trade issues and interest rates, he said.

Levine expects the number of homes on the market to increase 10% in 2026— which could mean a wider selection and more pricing options for buyers.

“For would-be buyers who sat out the competitive market during the past couple of years, that means more opportunities as inventory increases moderately and lending conditions become more favorable,” Levine said.

Santa Clara County currently has one and a half months of inventory. If no other homes came on the market, it would

Healdsburg

take about a month and a half to sell all the homes for sale. Alameda County has two months’ worth and Santa Cruz County has 3.7 months’ worth.

Interest rates are expected to drop, which typically means more buying power for homebuyers. Rates fell to 6.17% in October and are expected to go down further, to 6%, in 2026.

Debbie Calixto, sales manager at online mortgage lender loanDepot, agreed with Levine’s assessment of inventory and home prices in 2026.

She too expects inventory to increase, with 10% quite possible. "We expect moderate price growth in 2026— likely below 4% on average in California," Calixto said.

Redfin Senior Economist Asad Khan concurred with Levine’s “curveball” opinion of real estate in 2025, and then some.

“This year, the U.S. housing market has been described as ‘a nightmare,’ ‘very unusual’ and ‘alarming,’ Khan noted in a September report. “We are cautiously optimistic normalcy may not be as far off as many might fear.”

Levine noted that several challenges remain: the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners, the home insurance crisis and a potential stock market bubble.

Nevertheless, “As economic uncertainty begins to clear up in the next 12 months and mortgage rates start declining more consistently in the upcoming quarters, housing sentiment will see improvement in 2026,” Levine said.

RECENT SALES AND PRICES

Tight inventory is contributing to rising prices in Sonoma County. More than 15% of recent sales went to contract within two weeks. New listings are down 26%. Median listing price is $809,000 as of January 25, and the median sale price is $798,000, a 4% increase over last year, according to Redfin.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien 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. “Please be advised that the trustee may require entity or trust bidders at this trustee’s sale to provide Information, documentation and/or certification of the vesting instructions and the data required to be reported pursuant to FinCEN regulations effective for transfers of residential real property to covered transferees on or after March 1, 2026. The required information must be provided to the trustee before a trustee’s deed upon sale will be issued for covered transfer. Additional information regarding these regulations and the required transferee Information and certifications can be found at https://www.federalreglster.gov/ documents/2024/08/29/2024-19198/anti-moneylaunderingregulations-for-residential-real-estatetransfers and https://www.fincen.gov/rre-faqs#d 5” 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 2924g 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 844-477-7869, or visit this internet Web site www. stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 88515. 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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 an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can 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 (844) 477-7869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 88515 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; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Disclosure In compliance with CA civil code 2924f(F), the opening bid for the foreclosure sale is based on a valuation provided t the trustee by the lender of the lender’s representative. The trustee does not determine, verify, or opine on the accuracy of this valuation and makes no representation regarding the market value of the property subject to foreclosures (the “Property”). The trustee’s compliance or non-compliance with CA civil code 2924f(f) shall not be construed as an opinion, warranty, or representation regarding (i) the priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, (ii) the condition of title to the Property, or (iii) any other matters affecting the Property, Including the value of the Property. The trustee relies solely on the trustee’s sale guaranty and/or Information provided by the lender regarding the lien priority and title condition and does not Independently verify such Information. All bidders are solely responsible for conducting their own Independent due diligence regarding the loan, the Property, its value, the lien priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, and the condition of the title to the Property. The trustee assumes no liability for the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by third parties, including the lender. The valuation used to determine the minimum opening bid applies only to the Initially scheduled sale date. Any postponement or continuation of the sale does not obligate the trustee to obtain or rely upon a new valuation, nor does It alter the trustee’s limited role in the process.
