James Gore gets priorities straight
● 3-term supervisor steps back to count his blessings—home, hearth, Healdsburg
By Christian Kallen
In the midst of all the jockeying for election visibility, one local candidate took a different path: James Gore announced in October that he was suspending his campaign for the state senate’s 2nd District to spend more time with his family. Not long thereafter, he made it clear he would not run for his county supervisor seat again, either.
“When I made the decision not to run for state senate, I immediately knew that I
also wouldn’t reenter the race for supervisor. I know that the main reason I explored the run for senate was because I felt I had completed my chapter as supervisor,” Gore told The Healdsburg Tribune. The announcements made a bit of a stir at the time, with skeptics suggesting Gore recognized he might not win the lengthy, wide-ranging campaign—and doubting the sincerity of his

Green Hair Parade
Healdsburg is in the midst of building a decades-old tradition of rising early, parading hearty and returning to normalcy on St. Patrick’s Day—almost. Known as the “Biggest, Shortest Parade in the World,” even the City recommends donning one’s best green attire and marching down Healdsburg Avenue and around the Plaza, to remind visitors a lot of Irish still live in Healdsburg—a sort of DEI with shamrocks. The Healdsburg Rotary Club (Noon) calls it Green Hair Day, and encourages appropriate participation as it’s one of their biggest fundraisers of the year. Parade starts at Sanderson Ford (453 Healdsburg Ave.) at 7am but many arrive earlier to warm up for the occasion at John & Zeke’s, Costeaux or at the informal street party. healdsburg.gov.stpatricksday

stated reason: “I have worked relentlessly to embrace this campaign, but I cannot commit to be everywhere all the time at the expense of my life, as a father and as a husband.”
The reason seemed too familiar to political pundits, but Gore’s public activities and private communications since make his sincerity clear.
“Now I’m going to my daughter’s sporting events and I’m doing Boy Scouts with my son,” he told The Tribune last week. “And fishing and hunting and hiking and getting in better health.” His daughter, Opal, is a freshman at Healdsburg High, and his son, Jacob, is a fifth grader at The Healdsburg School. Elizabeth Gore, his wife, is co-founder and president of Hello Alice, which provides access to capital, connections and education for women in business.
Finishing the job
He currently still serves as supervisor for the county’s 4th District, which includes Healdsburg as well as Gore’s hometown of Cloverdale, and that job will continue to keep him busy until the end of the year.
“I’ve always challenged myself to live as a public servant, not as a politician, and to do this work in that way,” he said. “I’ve never been somebody who’s been absolutely loved by the political extremes on either side, because I’m too practical and rational and I want to get too much stuff done.”
Continued the supervisor, “You know, I was the president of the National Association of Counties. I just finished that. I was president of the California Association of Counties. I’ve been county supervisor, and I was president of the CSAC, the California State Association of Counties,” he said.
“And so I think I’ll work at that level for a long time. I really love counties and how they work.”
But once he threw himself into the race for state senate—he had built up momentum and financial support—he discovered his heart just wasn’t in it. “I feel honored to have been a servant leader in my community through tumul-

tuous times, especially through the fires and the pandemic,” he said in retrospect.
“I’m 47, and my kids are 14 and 11,” he said. “I came to the realization that I didn’t want what I was running for. I raised $400,000—I had two consultants and two full-time staff. I was running up and down the district, and I loved the district. I was going to Sacramento once a week, meeting with what they call ‘third house,’ all the lobbying organizations …”
He continued, “I really love the dis trict. I love going north, to Crescent City and the other communities in the dis trict. But the reality is, with my kids in school I would be an absentee father.”
Family decision
“I would talk with my wife; we’d go through it every couple of months. I kept having these … dread moments where I’d be sitting with my kid Jacob at night, sit ting on his bed talking about Boy Scouts and stuff,” Gore said. “And I’d have these thoughts that would just sink me: ‘Am I going to give this up?’ Or with my daugh ter, going to a volleyball tournament—I’d be like, ‘Oh, I’m not going to be able to come to this if I’m running.’”
Meanwhile another local politician is embracing the chaos and challenge of running for a different office, a step up to the national stage: Mike McGuire. After terming out as state senator—the seat Gore was in the run for—McGuire leapt at the chance to run for Congress when Prop. 50 passed last fall, redrawing the 2nd District to include Sonoma County.
“Mike’s an amazing representative, and God bless him for leaning in on these chaotic times,” Gore said. “And also for the sacrifice it’ll take to travel back and forth from California to D.C. You can’t make everybody happy, but you know, he’s the hardest working man in ‘show business’ for sure.”
Then Gore turned reflective. “If you do this work, you have to feed off of it. For me, I’ve always fed off of the public service, but not the politics. You have to feed off both if you’re going to be in it long term.
“And once again, I don’t condemn anybody who makes their own choices about their own life and their own family. But for me … it was a dread that I was going to miss all that.”
MOVIES
Who will win this year?
● Major categories Oscar predictions for 98th Academy Awards
By Jared Rasic
Here are my predictions for what will win at the 98th Annual Academy Awards, plus what I think should win instead. Here we go:
Actor in a leading role
Timothée Chalamet: Marty Supreme
Leonardo DiCaprio: One Battle
After Another
Ethan Hawke: Blue Moon
Michael B. Jordan: Sinners
Wagner Moura: The Secret Agent
Who will win: Two weeks ago, I would have said Chalamet had this one won, but he’s been a desperate weirdo in his press tour, so now I think Jordan might take it. He has momentum right now.
Who should win: Each one of these performances is an all-timer, but Hawke’s work broke my heart and DiCaprio proved once again that he gets better with every
performance. Still, I would be so happy for Jordan to take it.
Actor in a supporting role
Benicio del Toro: One Battle
After Another
Jacob Elordi: Frankenstein
Delroy Lindo: Sinners
Sean Penn: One Battle After Another
Stellan Skarsgård: Sentimental Value
Who will win: This is a tough one, but I think Skarsgård might take it, with Penn as a possible upset.
Who should win: Del Toro’s character in One Battle After Another is just so iconic, but Lindo crafts such a delicately beautiful performance in Sinners. See what I mean? This year was filled with so much good work.
Actress in a leading role
Jessie Buckley: Hamnet
Rose Byrne: If I Had Legs I’d Kick You
Kate Hudson: Song Sung Blue
Renate Reinsve: Sentimental Value
Emma Stone: Bugonia
Who will win: Buckley has this on lock. She’s been a chameleonic actress for years and is finally getting the attention she has earned.
Who should win: As happy as I would be for Buckley to get this, I found Byrne’s devastating and complex work in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You the most remarkable. She added so much humanity to a character that could have been unbearable.
Actress in a supporting role
Elle Fanning: Sentimental Value
Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas: Sentimental Value
Amy Madigan: Weapons
Wunmi Mosaku: Sinners
Teyana Taylor: One Battle After Another
Who will win: I think Taylor shows up in One Battle After Another like an imme-
diate movie star. She’s a force of nature who is impossible to look away from.
Who should win: As much as I love Madigan’s creepily hilarious turn in Weapons, I think Taylor lights the screen on fire in just a few short minutes.
Cinematography
Dan Laustsen: Frankenstein
Darius Khondji: Marty Supreme
Michael Bauman: One Battle After Another
Autumn Durald Arkapaw: Sinners
Adolpho Veloso: Train Dreams
Who will win: Arkapaw is a genius who must be protected at all costs. Her work on Sinners is one of the highlights of the entire film.
Who should win : Arkapaw should win, but if Veloso won for his gorgeous summoning of the ghosts of the Pacific Northwest in Train Dreams, I would still be very happy.
Directing
Chloé Zhao: Hamnet
Josh Safdie: Marty Supreme
Paul Thomas Anderson: One Battle After Another
Joachim Trier: Sentimental Value
Ryan Coogler: Sinners
Who will win: This is a race between Coogler and Anderson. I think Anderson might take it only because he made a politically charged action comedy that hit at the perfect time—and made it look easy.
Who should win: I like One Battle After Another just slightly more as a film, but I’m rooting for Coogler and Sinners as a work of art because it’s what my heart tells me to do.
Writing (Adapted Screenplay) Will Tracy: Bugonia
Guillermo del Toro: Frankenstein
Chloé Zhao, Maggie O’Farrell: Hamnet Paul Thomas Anderson: One Battle After Another
Clint Bentley, Greg Kwedar: Train Dreams
Who will win: Anderson constructed One Battle After Another as a timely political thriller, a stoner comedy and a buddy action movie simultaneously. His work here won’t be fully appreciated for a few decades, even if he wins the Oscar. Who should win: Anderson should win, but the screenplay for Train Dreams is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing of the last 25 years. It should also win. Can they both win, please?
Writing (Original Screenplay)
Robert Kaplow: Blue Moon
Jafar Panahi; script collaborators— Nader Saïvar, Shadmehr Rastin, Mehdi Mahmoudian: It Was Just an Accident
Ronald Bronstein, Josh Safdie: Marty Supreme

MACHINE GUN MAMA Teyana Taylor received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in ‘One Battle After Another,’ up for several Academy Awards this year.
OR ANNE? Either way, Jessie Butler lies at the heart of ‘Hamnet.’ She, the movie and its director received nominations for Academy Awards.
Eskil Vogt, Joachim Trier: Sentimental Value
Ryan Coogler: Sinners
Who will win: This one is impossible to guess. Sentimental Value and Sinners have momentum, and Marty Supreme has the critical love. I think Sinners takes it in an upset.
Who should win: The script for Blue Moon absolutely sings with brilliance and humor, but Sinners should win simply for how beautifully Coogler blends genres and layers in a hundred years of thematic power, depth and rage.
Best Picture
Bugonia: Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone and Lars Knudsen, producers
F1: Chad Oman, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer, producers
Frankenstein: Guillermo del Toro, J. Miles Dale and Scott Stuber, producers
Hamnet: Liza Marshall, Pippa Harris, Nicolas Gonda, Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes, producers
Marty Supreme: Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein, Josh Safdie, Anthony Katagas
and Timothée Chalamet, producers
One Battle After Another: Adam Somner, Sara Murphy and Paul Thomas Anderson, producers
The Secret Agent: Emilie Lesclaux, producer
Sentimental Value: Maria Ekerhovd and Andrea Berentsen Ottmar, producers
Sinners: Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Ryan Coogler, producers
Train Dreams: Marissa McMahon, Teddy Schwarzman, Will Janowitz, Ashley Schlaifer and Michael Heimler, producers
Who will win: This is a race between One Battle After Another and Sinners (with The Secret Agent and Sentimental Value acting as possible spoilers). One Battle After Another will win it because of its timeliness. The only reason Sinners won’t win is that the Academy historically doesn’t award horror movies.
Who should win: The more I watch these movies over and over, I think Train Dreams is my favorite. Not necessarily the best, but I like what it says about life and existence. It’s sweetly and gently profound in ways I’m not sure many movies have the patience to attempt.
ARTHUR EDWARD BANTI
January 3, 1943 – March 9, 2026
Arthur Edward Banti, age 83, passed away in Healdsburg on March 9, 2026, surrounded by family. He was born in Healdsburg in 1943, the son of Frank and Lois Banti. Arthur taught Business at Casa Grande High School in Petaluma and grew zinfandel grapes for 60 years in three different appellations in Sonoma County: Alexander Valley, Dry Creek, and Russian River.
Arthur enjoyed spending time with family, and watching his grandchildren grow. He had a deep connection to his ranching roots, and took satisfaction in cultivating high quality grapes to be made into local wines. After retiring from teaching, Arthur traveled the world with his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Sara (née Knecht) Banti, visiting virtually every port in the world by cruise ship. His warmth and quick wit endeared him to all those who had the good fortune to meet him.
Arthur is survived by his wife, Sara K. Banti; three daughters, Candida (Marc Guerguy) Banti, Catherine (Paul Plaxton) Banti, and Carolyn (Ransom) Burke; and four grandchildren, Sofia Guerguy, Pierce Plaxton, and Callum and Braden Burke.
A Funeral Service will be held at 10am on Friday, March 20, 2026, at Daniels Chapel of the Roses, 1225 Sonoma Ave., Santa Rosa. Burial will follow at Olive Hill Cemetery, Geyserville.

YOUR SERVE Timothée Chalamet plays the game well enough to be nominated for an Oscar in ‘Marty Supreme’ this year, in which he plays kinetic, show-boating, table-tennis legend Marty Reisman.
— Continued from page 1
World War II B-29 pilot Lt. Col. Richard “Dick” Sharp and a dozen other veterans had gathered for a youth Civil Air Patrol color guard flag presentation, a proclamation from Town of Windsor Mayor Rosa Reynoza, a parade of World War II vehicles—and two birthday cakes, to mark the veteran’s 105th birthday.
The parade began at the Home Depot parking lot at 2:30pm last Saturday, March 7. The space was large enough to assemble the bright red Sonoma County Fire District trucks, vintage olive drab jeeps and a five-ton 6x6 military tractor truck among others. Less than 10 minutes later, the tidy Callahan Lane neighborhood was delighted to find a parade coming down their street, each vehicle sounding a siren or honking a salute to Sharp.
More than 80 years ago Sharp flew 32 B-29 missions in the Pacific Theater over
Tokyo and China while based on Tinian Island, from which Paul Tibbets launched his infamous mission to Hiroshima. After the war he served in the Air Force reserves, instructing other pilots while he earned his dental degree from USC. He practiced dentistry into his mid-80s.
Still a big man, standing tall at over 6 feet though supported by a walker, he greeted his friends and guests, including Nancy Sandborn, Bob Tuttle, Karen Vogel and Jeannie Schulz, as the small group gathered in deck chairs to watch, applaud and eventually share the cake.
Carol Lawson is the current veteran coordinator for the Pacific Coast Air Museum, though this party was not a project of the PCAM. Also the lead for the PCAM Oral History Team, she has interviewed hundreds of veterans for the Library of Congress Veteran History Project over the years.
She’s been involved in several similar events for centenarian veterans, working with veteran families and supporters. “I believe these heroes deserve our attention and our thanks for the freedoms we enjoy today,” Lawson said.
The Ramble returns to Healdsburg
● BloodRoot’s concert for a cause again at Abel de Luna field
Staff Report
BloodRoot Wines, a sustainably farmed Sonoma County wine project created by Noah and Kelly Dorrance, on Wednesday announced the date and lineup for the return of The Ramble, their annual grassroots music and wine festival in Healdsburg.
The festival will take place on Saturday, June 6, at Abel de la Luna Community Center fields, and feature headline performances from award-winning music artists including Austin rockers Spoon and GRAMMY-nominated pop band Lucius.
“Having Spoon headline this year feels absolutely surreal—they’ve been one of our favorite bands for years, and bringing them to Healdsburg is truly special,” said Noah Dorrance. He and his wife also run Reeve Wines, whose visitors center is in Dry Creek Valley. The BloodRoot tasting room is on North Street in downtown Healdsburg.
Other participating music groups include Devon Gilfillian, an artist whose influences span soul, hip-hop, R&B and rock; Tropa Magica, a Los Angeles-based band crafting a vibrant fusion
of ’60s Peruvian cumbia, ’90s grunge and neo-Southern psychedelia; and the Plastic Cherries from Salt Lake City, known for their electrifying, theatrical live shows.
What began with the Dorrances’ passion for music and wine has grown into a festival that brings people together through unforgettable performances and a shared commitment to making a difference in the world. Much of that stems from their support of GIFFORDS, a national organization dedicated to preventing gun violence. That partnership honors the memory of the Dorrances’ niece, Evelyn, who was killed in the shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville.
“At its heart, The Ramble celebrates music, connection and the power of gathering,” said Kelly Dorrance. “This is how we know to make a difference: through hospitality and the joy of community.”
Now in its fourth year, The Ramble continues to highlight Sonoma County’s finest wines and food, as well as nationally acclaimed musical talent. Early-bird tickets go on sale Friday, March 13, with the full ticket suite available Friday, March 20.

SPORTS
Spring break interrupts Greyhound sports
● Only baseball, track and field will see action next week
By Caleb Knudsen
With the pending spring break for Healdsburg Unified School District schools—a half-day March 13, and no school again until March 23—one might presume there would be a break in sports action this month. One would be mistaken: Baseball and track and field athletes find time to compete during that spring break. Several sports, including softball, swimming, badminton, boys golf and boys tennis, do take a break, but will resume competition soon thereafter. All have already begun their spring seasons, and we’ll do our best to cover them all.
Softball
A good place to start is the girls softball team whose coach, Brian Osborn, dou-
bles as the school’s athletic director. Their record to date is 3-1, their only loss coming in the first game of the season, on March 2 against Clear Lake. It was a game where the active player roster for the Greyhounds was unpracticed due to the extended basketball season. So a number of softball regulars missed the first weeks of practice, including Claire Berry, Ashley Jenkins, Mia Halvorsen, Sammy White and Maya Sherman.
The Clear Lake game was a great way to start the season, nonetheless. Healdsburg pecked away to a 7-4 lead at the end of three, but in the sixth inning the Cardinals erupted for seven runs, and 11-7 is how it ended.
Halvorsen, only a sophomore this year, continued her duties as primary
pitcher for the Lady Hounds, though she took her first loss this year in the Clear Lake game. Since then she has run her record to 3-1 as Healdsburg began scoring into double digits: 15-1 over Middleton, 30-12 over Justin-Sienna and 13-3 against Willits.
Halvorsen, who started nearly every game last year as a freshman, gets some backup this year from sophomore Lily Farrer, a new team member. Also on the roster is freshman Destiny Pace, who got five RBIs against Justin-Sienna on March 5.
Upcoming this week are back-toback tests against usually strong softball squads: Sonoma Valley at HHS on Wednesday evening March 11 and Analy in Sebastopol the next day. Results of both games will be reported later.
“Yes, we are off to a good start,” Osborn said cautiously. One reason is surely that seven of the nine starters return from last year’s lineups and only three of them seniors: Izzy Osborn, Claire Berry and Ashley Jenkins. They are all expected to deliver culminating efforts to their Greyhound careers.
After spring break, the North Bay - Redwood season gets started with a road game against Montgomery on March 27, and at home the next day against St. Vincent.
Baseball
As good as the softball team has been to this point, the boys baseball team has been better, at least according to their undefeated 4-0 record. But it hasn’t been easy, and sometimes it’s been downright dramatic.
Take for instance the season’s first game, on Feb. 25 in Napa Valley. The team from St. Helena and the Healdsburg Greyhounds reached a zero state for eight innings, but in the ninth inning Healdsburg scored five runs. The Saints only managed a single run in the bottom of the extra-inning frame, which ended 5-1.
Two days later, for the first baseball game this year at Rec Park, Healdsburg kept up a steady stream of runs to take a 9-1 lead at the end of six. Middleton’s other two runs came in the top of the seventh and final inning, but it wasn’t nearly enough and the scoreboard read 9-3 as the sun went down on the game.
Things went even better for the battling Greyhounds on March 4 against Rohnert Park’s Credo, as the home team amassed a 19-3 lead after only four innings. Since the Credo Gryphons were unable to score in the top of the fifth, the game ended at that point as a mercy win for the Greyhounds.
Fans of competitive baseball were given something to appreciate on March 6, as the Kelseyville Knights took a 1-0 lead in the first inning that stood until the bottom of the 5th. Then the Greyhounds, their backs to the wall, cobbled together a two-run inning on the game’s only hit for Healdsburg, as Damon Smith singled in Xander Harms for the winning run. The 2-1 final score was the closest of the year for the surging Greyhounds, but there’s plenty of baseball yet to be played in 2026.
The March 11 game against Cloverdale was played too late to report; but the NBL - Redwood season for Healdsburg begins on Friday this week at Montgomery. Three non-league games at Rec Park follow next week, before the Redwood season resumes on March 25 against Analy.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: DATE: 04-17-2026 TIME: 9:30 AM, DEPT. 12, Sonoma County Superior Court, 600 Administration Drive, Santa Rosa, CA 95403.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court
before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR OR A CONTINGENT CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 58 of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of delivery of the notice to you under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code. OTHER CALIFORNIA STATUTES AND LEGAL AUTHORITY MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS AS A CREDITOR. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a request for Special Notice (form DE-145) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
