Schools get a summer facelift
● High school, elementary school projects to repair and upgrade facilities
By Christian Kallen
With the Healdsburg public school campuses on “summer vacation” for the most part, two of them are getting much needed construction upgrades and repairs that tap into the few remaining Measure D and more recent Measure R bond funds.
One of them, at Healdsburg Elementary School (HES), brings the school up to ADA standards with fixes to the main entrance steps. The other, at Healdsburg High, is a more high-profile effort to remove a
dozen decades-old redwoods and other trees on the campus—a project now underway and causing visible disturbance to the campus’s most distinctive features.
The line of redwoods that created a corridor from the main entrance, Prince Avenue, to the colorfully muraled Smith Robinson Gym is now gone. One of the dozen trees toppled over in a recent windstorm— no one was hurt and there was no damage, but it made all the

public transit in the North Bay,” according to a June 13 statement from the agency. The initiative, which will appear on the 2026 ballot, does not raise taxes. Instead, it continues an existing source of funding that has powered SMART’s service and expanding network of rail and pathway connections for nearly two decades. That sales tax is scheduled to expire in 2028.
The transit system relies on a range of funding sources: state and federal grants, a portion of bridge and other tolls, and public bonds paid for by tax revenue. The taxes were first approved for a 30-year period in 2008 by Measure Q, but an attempt to renew them through Measure I in 2020 failed. This will mark another attempt to gain two-thirds pub-

lic support to continue the modest tax for another 30 years, until 2059.
Without renewal, SMART’s current funding will expire, potentially forcing the service to reduce service if not shut down entirely by 2029.
Unwelcome Party
Another wrinkle in SMART’s ambitions came just days after a thousand-person-strong June 13 Windsor welcome party, as the town manager asked the transportation district to stop running early morning trains.
“This morning, based on a great deal of community sentiment, Town Council made a request to SMART to pause the early morning trains prior to 6:00 am until the quiet zones are implemented,” said Town

Apparently, it’s a creature with three heads. So, lots of intelligence. It has four feelers making it ultra-sensitive to its environment. A Yet can be “there for you,” or anybody waiting on something that hasn’t arrived—yet. Yets sense but don’t know the future. Their intelligence and supersensitive feelers allow them to know anticipated events eventually arrive, situations eventually work out. This is why Yets have huge smiles and cheery faces.
Yets are the imaginary invention of a creative young boy encouraging his mother when the season of waiting weighs heavy. One doesn’t know the outcome, but in having a Yet as a friend one finds comfort in understanding that waiting is part of the joy of now, and trusting in tomorrow is a gift of grace—that of not knowing the future. Domestic and world events suggest more Yets, please.
Fun facts: The word “yet” has a few meanings. As an adverb it references “a continuing state or condition.” As a conjunction, it introduces a contrasting fact or thought. As a modifier, it intensifies meaning, as in “yet again.”
A yeti is a cryptid; a creature thought to exist but not scientifically proven.
Sasquatch, a.k.a. Bigfoot, is also a cryptid, said but not proven to live in the Pacific Northwest. Chuchunas, similar to Sasquatch, are said to be hairy large bipeds thought to live in Siberia.
Underwater cryptids include the Loch Ness Monster, a.k.a, Nessie, of Scottish lore and the kraken , a giant tentacled beast of Scandinavian mythology famously portrayed in Pirates of the Caribbean as Davey Jones’ avenging undersea pet. The five-movie Pirates of the Caribbean franchise grossed over $4.5 billion and is the 16th-largest-grossing film series.
While not rising to the level of cryptid, the shark in Jaws rose to terrorize audiences 50 years ago this week, shattering box office records. Produced for $12 million in 1975, three times over budget and costing four times more than average films, Jaws grossed $470 million worldwide, estimated at $2.3 billion in today’s dollars.
Steven Spielberg was 27 years old when he directed the film. The movie won three Academy Awards for: Best Editing, Dramatic Score and Sound. The mechanical shark broke so regularly that deft editing limiting the shark’s appearances, together with the dramatic score, combined to heighten the fear factor that has thrilled and terrified audiences for 50 years.

The first peaches of summer
By Liza Gershman
The first peach of summer is almost always eaten over the sink—bent slightly forward, elbows braced, juice running down to the wrists. There’s no elegant way to meet that kind of sticky sweetness. It demands surrender.
At the Healdsburg Certified Farmers’ Market, word spreads quickly when Dry Creek Peach returns. It isn’t advertised. There’s no banner, no online post. Just quiet murmurs between neighbors as they slip a soft paper bag into their basket and continue on—as if they haven’t just collected the very beginning of summer. When I was younger, I used to walk to the dusty farmstand from the Prestons’ house on Dry Creek Road. We’d eat a peach on the way back, the warm, sticky
juice running down our cheeks and arms marking summer’s beginning in quiet streaks of gold.
Dry Creek Peach (2179 Yoakim Bridge Rd.) is one of the last true peach orchards in a county better known for vineyards—a sun-struck parcel just minutes from town, where the fruit is tended by hand, picked only at peak ripeness and offered exactly as it should be: warm from the morning sun, unwashed, unchilled and never sent farther than a neighbor’s kitchen. The trees grow in the loamy valley soil, where long days and cool nights coax sweetness toward the surface until it nearly bursts through the skin.
It’s rare now—a farm this small, this intentional and this well-loved. The current
owners, who took over just over a decade ago, didn’t seek to reimagine the land. They leaned into what worked: organic methods, old-world irrigation, and heirloom varietals that ripen slowly and don’t travel well. These peaches are meant to be eaten near the tree they fell from, and tasting one is a seasonal pleasure.
The difference is unmistakable. These farm-fresh stone fruits arrive in gentle waves—a procession of names that sound like songs: Sun Crest, June Lady, Gold Dust. Each with its own groupies.
And then they’re gone. The season is short.
Arrive too late—say after 10am—and they’re usually already sold. The regulars know: Dry Creek Peach is a first-thing stop. Just after opening, they can be found with baskets in hand, catching up with old friends as the morning takes shape. The musician tunes up. Coffee steams in paper
cups. Children dart between stalls. By mid-morning, the boxes are empty.
The fruit is eaten well just as it is, of course—but also grilled with burrata, tucked into rustic galettes, spooned over ice cream or preserved in jars for colder months.
This peach—lush, fleeting, sticky with sun—personifies summer in Healdsburg.
“Best ones are always in late July,” someone says, holding one up to the light. “Unless you’re a June Lady person.” A nod. A smile. A bite. And for a moment, the world goes quiet as mouths drip with a familiar gooey sweetness that welcomes in summer.
‘Farm + Market: Healdsburg’ is still collecting recipes from the local community, and a few more are still welcome. Whether it’s something made every summer or a dish that appears when company arrives, the book is meant to reflect how people cook and live here—simply, seasonally and with care. Submit recipes by July 15 at healdsburgbook.com.

Bump in the road?
● Humboldt Crabs pinch win from Healdsburg to spoil perfect record, but the Pack rolls on
By Caleb Knudsen
The Prune Packer pursuit of a fifth straight league championship might get interesting this month. After knocking off eight wins in a row to start the season, the Pack came up short in the second of their three-game series against the Humboldt Crabs last Wednesday, losing 5-3.
It was the first loss of the year for the Packers, but the Crabs, too, are a contender: They had only lost once so far this season, too—the previous night, to the Packers.
The Crabs are, like the Prune Packers, a collegiate league team with some deep history. Founded in 1945, they have played every season since. The Healdsburg team, though first fielded in 1921, has not had as consistent a playing history. This version of the Packers was reborn in 2012.
The June 18 game was as dramatic as it
was unexpected for the home team. The previous night, in the teams’ first meeting this year, Healdsburg built a seemingly insurmountable lead of 11-3 at the end of only five innings, and it looked like another one of those Packer blowouts.
Then their bat attack ended. Humboldt reliever Spencer Jacobs held them to just two hits and a walk while striking out six in three innings—that’s about as good as it gets.
The Crabs made a play in the top of the eighth, scoring three runs after two quick outs to make it close. Healdsburg’s reliever came in to stop the bleeding and the game ended, 11-6.
The next night, the two teams were evenly matched through eight innings, with the Pack leading, 3-2. But the Crabs would not go down easily, or at all: Using hits, steals and a hit-by-pitch, the visitors
broke the spell and scored three times in the top of the ninth, winning the game 6-3.
The Healdsburg team bounced back with a 10-5 victory the next day to win the series. As Jacob French hit a double and a triple to drive in three runs, Alex Leopard homered and ended with three RBIs, and Alex Birge doubled for another two runs. It looked like the Pack had again found its groove.
The Prune Packers racked up two more wins at home last weekend, against the West Coast Kings on Friday and Saturday. The week ended with Healdsburg on top of the PEL standings with a 4-1 record, followed by the Humboldt Crabs and the Medford Rogues.
The Pack plays those same Rogues this week as they take the show on the road for two away games in Medford, Oregon. These will be their first road games of the year, against a contender for the PEL pennant.
The Prune Packers return to the comforting field of Rec Park on Friday to open another nine-game home stand before returning to the road next month, on July 8.

Are all Wes Anderson films alike? Not quite
● A connoisseur of the eclectic filmmaker takes a look at his oeuvre
By Jared Rasic
The combination of quirk, whimsy, intricate sets, obsessive symmetry, bright color palette and hyper-specific aesthetic in Wes Anderson movies isn’t for everyone, nor should it be. But where I do take issue is with people who say that all of his movies are the same. They’re not. Not even close. A few years ago I rewatched his filmography to spotlight the differences in his work. Here’s a brief look at his range: Bottle Rocket (1996), his first, is the outlier because it doesn’t carry most of Anderson’s idiosyncrasies. It effortlessly combines a West Texas crime comedy with the iconoclastic existentialism of the French New Wave.
Rushmore (1998) To be young, brilliant and deeply misunderstood by all around oneself is one of Anderson’s favorite themes, but Max Fischer (Jason Schwartz-
man) isn’t just a representation of Anderson’s loneliness, he’s a synecdoche for outcasts everywhere.
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) Unpacks the unrealized expectations we have in life, whether they include our disappointment in a father, our acceptance of the tenacity of loss or learning that waves of melancholy can be ridden forever.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) Starring a fearlessly unsympathetic Bill Murray, this film can be seen as the result of Anderson’s unchecked idiosyncrasies bleeding into influences like Jean Cocteau and Orson Welles.
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) Three brothers carry their literal and metaphorical baggage across India in a quixotic search for absentee love. Anderson dials his melancholy up to 100.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) perfectly incorporates Anderson’s style into the
loss, loneliness, fear and existential dread into its margins, creating another metatextual comedy soaked in the sadness of everyday life.
If Anderson repeats himself, so did Godard. So did Jackson Pollock. So did Picasso. The artifice of his flawlessly constructed symmetric sets is belied by the fact that all the emotions present in the characters are messy and chaotic.
‘Phoenician Scheme’
Anderson’s new film is filled with many of his obsessions: a distant parental figure, inept criminals, irrational romanticism, self-deluded existential depression and spiritual constipation in people starving for God. In no world will The Phoenician Scheme convert disgruntled old fans or bring new ones into the Anderson cinematic universe, but it’s probably his funniest film since The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Plus, with cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel stepping in for longtime Anderson collaborator Robert Yeoman, it has a texture unlike any we’ve seen from him before. This is Anderson with a slight dash of grit and grime.
The plot doesn’t matter, in the same way the mystery of The Big Lebowski is superfluous to watching the Dude accidentally stumble through a film noir. The always-wonderful Benicio del Toro plays Zsa-Zsa Korda, an arms dealer/business tycoon attempting to change the world through an impossible-for-me-to-describe-in-two-sentences scheme. He teams up with his estranged daughter, a Catholic novitiate played by the instant movie star Mia Threapleton; a Norwegian entomologist (a perfect Michael Cera); a Phoenician crown prince; French gangsters; revolutionaries; and even God (played by Bill Murray, obviously).
world of Roald Dahl, marrying quirk and handmade humanity into something that feels like the cinematic equivalent of a favorite vinyl record.
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) captures childhood love with nostalgia and tenderness, and explores the unlimited limitations of youth.
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) Anderson deconstructs the actual art and structure of storytelling as he builds a Russian nesting doll of a plot with a woman in the modern day reading a book written in 1985 about a story the author was told on vacation in 1968 about the Grand Budapest Hotel in 1932.
Isle of Dogs (2018) This is Anderson at his most bitter, which I’m not sure I appreciate as much as I should.
The French Dispatch (2021) Anderson’s most whimsical film is also his first anthology, with stories ranging from the hauntingly moribund to the deepest appreciation of the written word he has ever expressed.
Asteroid City (2023) takes the artificiality of the stage and presses heartbreak,
While the story is fun and ridiculous in equal measure, the inner lives of these characters are the real joy here. That’s the epiphany I’ve had while watching Anderson lately. The artifice of his aesthetic and design doesn’t just exist to showcase his peculiar peccadillos, but instead acts as a counterbalance to the very real human emotion.
When we see del Toro in spiritual pain, it hits harder when surrounded by an artificiality already inherent in movies. This is Anderson very intelligently saying that all external stimuli can feel like set dressing compared to whatever turmoil churns beneath the surface. Anderson is a genius, and whether or not one appreciates his highly mannered and idiosyncratic style is mercifully subjective. And his singular vision is one that I guarantee will be studied a hundred years from now alongside Jacques Tati, Ingmar Bergman and Jean-Luc Godard.

Summer facelift

more clear the importance of dealing with the hazard.
So last week the crews got to work: cutting down the trees in segments and stump-grinding their bases to prevent (if possible) their possible re-emergence. The necessity of the project became clear
during the 2019 renovation of Smith Robinson Gym, occasioned in part by a buckled floor. Workers “found a tangled mess of redwood roots,” said Supervisor Chris Vanden Heuvel, that had spread from the grove to the building.
“We literally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars cutting the roots out from under the gym so that they weren’t disrupting the floor anymore,” said the supervisor, “which then led to further deterioration of the trees.”
Early morning trains canceled
— Continued from page 3
Manager Jon Davis in an email on Wednesday, June 18. He said SMART readily agreed.
“It was better getting woken up at 6 as opposed to 4:30,” said Windsor resident Jenny Scott. She added that she had been taking video of the trains as they passed, and “all of the first three trains were empty every time I went out at 4:30.”
The affected routes are the three earliest departures from Windsor, headed south to Larkspur. Morning departure times scheduled at 4:35am, 4:58am and 5:30am have now been temporarily discontinued, as the first morning departure on weekdays is now 6:02am. Weekend departures are not affected—they begin at 7:12am, and that will not change.
“Common sense says that when you’re in a smaller town, you kind of scale back,” said rail neighbor Scott. “I think there should be like five trips a day, but I just think 42 is over the top.”
Quiet Zones
As noted, the schedule change is only effective until the “quiet zones”—intersections where the train will not be required to sound its horns—are implemented. That is currently anticipated for the end of July, but it is by no means a date certain. Davis said the town had been discuss-
After multiple consultations with arborists, the necessity for complete removal became clear. “Though a native species, Redwoods have sprawling, shallow root systems that rely upon the ability to absorb a large amount of moisture,” wrote Vanden Heuvel in a June 16 message to staff and parents advising them of the project.
The tree removal, completed in a matter of days, left behind mounds of redwood bark. Clearly, replanting redwoods is not being considered. Instead, a mixed grove of Pistache, Crepe myrtle trees and Western redbud—trees found elsewhere on campus as well—will be planted.
“We want to make it a usable area that is inviting for kids to congregate and potentially for classes to go outside,” Vanden Heuvel said. “So it will be a grove; it just won’t be a redwood grove.”
The tree removal and replanting project extends to the student parking lot at the intersection of Prince and Powell avenues, which will likely be dug up to remove trees and make room for less problematic species.
A third component of the project involves installing new school signage at that intersection, a “monument sign” that more clearly identifies the entrance to Healdsburg’s only high school.
Taken all together, the high school project is being funded by the last of the Measure D bonds from the 2016 election, in the amount of $2.4 million.
First steps in education
Still more expensive is the main entrance and front facade upgrade at Healdsburg Elementary School, budgeted at $4.5 million. The project is funded by Measure R bonds, just passed in November. Sturdy wire fencing was installed around the school at the end of the school year so the project could proceed.
“The main building at HES was constructed in the 1920s, and is a beautiful historic building and is accompanied by fittingly historic challenges,” Vanden Heuvel wrote in that message to the school.
“As a result, we are redoing the main entrance along with landscaping and sidewalks at the front of the school, which will result in new stairs, a ramp, and new seating areas and landscaping,” he wrote. “All of this is being done in a way that maintains the historical character of the building while updating accessibility to current standards.”
This closure of the elementary school also provides the city and district with the opportunity to convert all on-campus irrigation, including in the Little League playing fields on the east side of the school, to the new recycled water or “purple pipe” system.
The lead architect on both projects is Kevin Chapin of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA), which focuses on schools and other public buildings throughout Northern California.
ing quiet zones with SMART for about a year, but at a meeting in May new tasks were presented that delayed the program’s implementation.
“The Town of Windsor is actively working with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). If the FRA approves quiet zones, then routine train horn use at designated crossings will be eliminated, except in emergency or safety-critical situations,” reads a statement on townofwindsor.ca.com.
“Until the Quiet Zone is in place, train horns will continue to sound between Shiloh Road and the Windsor station.” How loud is it?
The distance from the Airport station to the Windsor station is just over three rail miles. But at Shiloh Road, nearly two miles south of the Windsor platform, residential communities have sprouted up on the west side of the tracks, such as near the Windsor Golf Course.
“There’s a crossing at Shiloh Road, and the train starts blaring its horn 1.5 miles before that crossing coming from Airport terminal,” one area resident told The Healdsburg Tribune. “Then it continues blaring its horn from Shiloh Road to Mitchell Lane crossing and then at the Town Green circle crossing. It is extremely loud, affecting hundreds of families,” she stated.
Under current federal rail requirements, according to the FRA website, “locomotive engineers are required to sound train horns at least 15 seconds and no more than 20 seconds before reaching a public highway-rail grade crossing.”
That agency also established a policy for a city, county or other “public entity responsible for traffic control or law enforcement” to establish quiet zones. Windsor is in the late stages of that process, and hopeful that the prohibition on train horns will be implemented as soon as July 22.
That agency requires train horns to be between 96 and 110 decibels when measured 100 feet in front of the engine. That sound level is louder than a car horn or blender, in a range usually occupied by power tools such as sanders, welders or chain saws.
However, the FRA states that even in a quiet zone, “it is important to note that horns may still be used in emergency situations or to comply with other Federal regulations and railroad operating rules. For example, the horn may be sounded to alert animals, vehicle operators, pedestrians, trespassers, or crews on other trains or due to other railroad operations where sounding the horn is a necessity.”
SMART trains also have bells sounded when crossing intersections, and that practice will continue.
ARRIVAL Lights and bells greet morning northbound SMART trains at the new SMART station in Windsor. Twenty-one daily round-trip trains are scheduled to use the network’s northernmost station, a pace that some in Windsor are beginning to question.
Information about the Windsor SMART station, including Quiet Zone updates, can be found at townofwindsor. ca.gov/1533/Sonoma-Marin-Area-RailTransit-District.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 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 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000010335164. 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. 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 833-561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 00000010335164 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 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.
