Ramble finds its place in the local calendar
By Christian Kallen
The first weekend in June is becoming unofficially known as Ramble Weekend, as BloodRoot Wines continues its quixotic effort to make Healdsburg a waystation on the alt-rock circuit. Scheduled just two weeks
after “the other BR,” Bottle Rock, the one-day-plus music festival will again take over the extensive lawn at Abel de Luna Community Center on Saturday, June 6.
From the outset in 2023, the Ramble was an effort by Kelly and Noah Dorrance, the pro-
prietors of BloodRoot Wines, to pair Sonoma County wines with popular musical talent. But it has also served as a fundraiser for GIFFORDS, a gun violence prevention nonprofit.
The first Bloodroot was held just months after the Dorrances lost their 9-year-old niece in the March 2023
at Nashville’s The Covenant School.

● 3 recent incidents impact crosswalk, Guiso’s, Baci
By Christian Kallen
Three recent incidents in downtown Healdsburg have residents wondering if it’s safe to dine at a parklet or even walk the sidewalks. In all cases, drivers not fully in command of their vehicles were involved in property damage.
Saturday morning, May 23, shortly before 8am, a vehicle jumped the curb on Healdsburg Avenue near the corner of North Street and plowed through the front window of Baci Cafe & Wine Bar at 336 Healdsburg Ave.
Seven were killed in that single-shooter incident; three of them students, including Evelyn Dieckhaus. The organizers pivoted and turned the event into a fundraiser for GIFFORDS: Courage to Fight Gun Violence. GIFFORDS focuses on legislation and policy solutions to the — More on page 8
The vehicle, a white Honda HR-V, traveled some 40 feet into the restaurant, breaking glass and damaging tables and chairs, according to Baci co-owner Lisbeth Holmefjord. Photos show extensive furniture damage to the dining area and the bar, with the vehicle deep in the main dining room.

given a breathalyzer test at the scene which came up negative, so alcohol was presumed not to be a factor. The driver indicated he may have lost control when hot coffee spilled inside the car. He was released before the owners arrived. No one was in the building at the time. When police and fire responded they helped clear the debris and pushed the vehicle back onto the street. A contractor arrived shortly thereafter to board up the opening, and Baci posted a note saying the business would be closed until further notice.
“We are devastated. It’s a very busy time for us,” Holmefjord said. “We don’t know when we will be able to open up; there is structural damage.” But the owners hope to reopen in 6-8 weeks, pending the city inspection.
In the meantime they are running a Go Fund Me campaign so they can pay staff their full salaries and compensate “tipped” employees. It can be found on the business website at bacicafeandwinebar.com.
Parklet Collision
That incident followed by about three weeks the April 24 hit-and-run collision on North Street, just around the corner from Baci. A vehicle described as a black Tesla Model Y, a small SUV model, ran into a parklet built in the parking slot in front of Guiso’s Latin Fusion at 117 North St. The collision occurred about 9:30pm, while customers were still being served their dessert course.
The vehicle, with what witnesses said were a female driver and passenger, left the scene and fled down Healdsburg Avenue to Piper Street, where it turned right. Police put out a search alert for the vehicle, which was found unoccupied a short time later at Piper and Fitch streets.
Though no one was hurt, the parklet was knocked partially off its foundation, and several days later city Building Inspector David Willoughby posted a notice that it needed to be “repaired or demolished as soon as possible.” On May 5, Willoughby’s posted deadline, it was removed.
While an investigation led to a suspect being identified, the police department was at first cautious about bringing charges. “The owner of the vehicle has been identified and identification of the person driving the vehicle at the time of

the collision is still under investigation,” said Police Chief Matt Jenkins on May 12. By May 25, a full month after the incident, the case was finally referred to the DA for charges, according to Dispatch Supervisor Teresa Gruner.
“A potential suspect has been identified, and the information has been sent to the District Attorney’s office for review,” Gruner said. “[They] will ultimately decide whether or not there is enough evidence to proceed with the charges of 20002(A) (1) CVC,” or misdemeanor hit-and-run— fleeing the scene of an accident causing property damage but no physical injuries.
As to the identity of the suspect, said Jenkins, “We will only be able to release the name of the suspect if charges are ultimately filed in the case.”
Pedestrian Crossing
This is what eventually occurred with the March 13 incident, when a silver Tesla ran into a pedestrian alert station on Healdsburg Avenue at the Plaza Street crossing at about 2pm. Witnesses said the driver got out of his car, surveyed the scene and took off. He was later located parked behind the Safeway on Vine street and arrested.
Chad Colebank of Healdsburg, 54, was eventually charged with two counts of driving under the influence and a single count of hit-and-run with property damages. Having agreed to a court-appointed solution, he will appear in court on June 20 for a settlement conference. Initial estimates on replacing the pedestrian RRFB alert system came to $55,000, though repairing it is not on the city’s calendar as yet. Meanwhile extra warning signs have to suffice for cautious, or incautious, pedestrians and drivers.
An update: Chef Carlos Mojica of Guiso’s Latin Fusion has decided to rebuild his restaurant parklet. Maybe it will keep the traffic out.

Heroes: Appropriate Ceremonies to Be Held In Their Honor on Decoration Day
Today, May 30th, is Memorial Day, a day set apart to commemorate the heroism of brave men who died on the field of battle and those who have answered the last roll call since returning from the field of strife. It is most earnestly requested that the citizens of Healdsburg and vicinity lay aside their usual vocations so far as possible and unite with the veteran soldiers in a suitable observance of this day. A cordial invitation is extended to all veteran soldiers of the Civil War, both North and South, also of the late Spanish War.
procession in the following order; First division Healdsburg band; teachers and pupils of the public schools. Second division—Public school drum corps; Spanish War veterans; veterans of the Civil War; Healdsburg fire department. Third division—Orator of the day; Ladies of the G. A. K. and citizens in carriages.
The procession will move at 9:30 o’clock up Matheson street to Oak Mound Cemetery, where, upon arrival, the first division will surround the soldiers’ monument, and a program will be rendered, which will include the songs “America” and “You put no Flowers on Papa’s Grave.” The divisions will then march to the grove for more songs and prayers, ending with “The Last Taps are Sounding,” a Roll-call of the Dead, and Decorating the graves.
cess. Starting with the noon parade Friday there was “something doing every minute.” Top event of the Fair was the livestock auction which brought a grand total of $4467.94 in sales to future farmers throughout the community.
In addition to the livestock judging, auction and woodworking displays, there were displays of local flowers and art work by local residents. The Sotoyome Literary Club and the Healdsburg Garden Club assisted in these displays. Thirty-four exhibitors took part in the “midway” exhibits where Fair-goers enjoyed everything from “dumping the dope” to winning hams, cakes, pies, etc. For the “small fry” a ride on the ponies, Russian River Riders exhibit, was a highlight.
these nice things said about you kind of gets you,” Giorgi said after Mayor Jerry Eddinger gave a capsule history of the ex-police chief and ex-councilman’s involvement in city affairs.
Giorgi, the son of an immigrant shoe maker, first went to work part-time as a city caretaker in August, 1936. In 1941 he became a city firefighter, but soon switched to the police force and became chief in 1948. He served in that capacity until Jan. 1, 1968 when he retired. That spring he was elected to the first of two terms as a councilman. He was mayor from April 1971 to April 1972.
The program for the day is as follows: Marshals of the day—Professor H. R. Bull, Phil Stoffal, Charles Gebauer and Charles Bond. The teachers and pupils of the public schools and all invited societies and citizens generally are requested to meet at 9 o’clock a.m. on Matheson street, opposite the Plaza, and form in

Giorgi Park was originally seven parcels owned by John Mallon which the city began purchasing in 1958 and finished buying 15 years later. In 1970 a children’s park was established there and in 1972 the Rotary Club installed restrooms. The biggest addition to the park (which is located at the rear of Recreation Park) came following passage of state park bonds in 1974. The city applied for funds to build two tennis courts and nearly two years later received final approval for construction. The $20,000 courts were completed several weeks ago and are now open for play. They will probably be lighted this summer.

Behind Memorial Day holiday
● Bombers, fighters, copters and cargo planes fought the air war
By Pierre Ratte
Up close and personal. That’s the view you’ll get Thursday through Sunday at the Pacific Coast Air Museum, adjacent to the Charles M. Schultz Airport. Sonoma County’s Air History Museum preserves over 25 military aircraft in varying states of unreadiness. The raw condition of the preserved military planes opens a window on their fragility and ruggedness that is unnoticeable in polished-up commercial airliners.
The plane pictured above is a 1950s Soviet IL-14, nicknamed the “Crate” for good reason. Check out the riveting— pun done—panels. Incredible that this was an exported Soviet product used in 31 countries! Similarly incredible is that the IL-14 is one of two planes at the museum that, reportedly, could fly again with some work. It was last flown from Reno’s Stead Air Force Base to its home at the Air History Museum in 1994.
MEMORIAL DAY FACTS: Snoopy first appeared as a World War I flying ace in 1965 in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Shultz. He appeared over 400 times chasing his nemesis, the Red Baron. Snoopy’s Sopwith Camel’s last appearance was in 1999. A Sopwith Camel is a single-seat, British biplane fighter from World War I. Introduced in 1917,
it was the Allies’ most deadly fighter, downing 1,294 enemy planes.
All Quiet on the Western Front (1929) by Erich Maria Remarque is a gritty telling of the gruesome inanity of trench warfare during World War I, so different from flying aces and valor. The book is considered one of the best anti-war novels by addressing the day-to-day reality of war. It is told from a German soldier’s point of view.
Bomber (1970) by Len Deighton achieves its anti-war reality by scrupulously describing the reality of a fictional day’s bombing raid on June 31 (sic), 1943. With intimate details from British and German points of view, its unsentimental realism renders the pain of war for ordinary people, civilians and military personnel alike.
Notable facts from Bomber : RAF bombs had a 20% failure rate, duds. Nighttime bombing formations, called bomber streams, 40-100 miles long with 800 planes, lost many planes and lives. RAF aircrew members had a ~50% survival rate; only 25% were physically unharmed. With no radar, and flying without lights, it was nearly impossible to see other planes. Non-combat losses accounted for 50-60% of aircraft losses during World War II; crashes approximately equaled combat losses.
Kids under 6 can visit the Pacific Coast Air Museum for free; adult admission is $10; kids under 17 admission is $5. Located at One Air Museum Way, Santa Rosa.

Crossing the river the smart way
● SMART barrels ahead with bridge plans, but what about river users?
By Kim Lockhart
As the co-owners of River’s Edge Kayak and Canoe, we have asked SMART repeatedly for information about the planned railroad bridge over the Russian River, because we send thousands of customers paddling under the same bridge that SMART is demolishing next summer. Without a coordinated plan, mixing boaters with jackhammers seems like a pretty obvious no-no. But SMART has demurred from sharing details or timelines every month.
We fear that Healdsburg’s railroad bridge replacement project risks becoming the next place where people are asked to live with decisions that don’t include real-world experience.
We have been asking questions about the eventual building of the Russian River bridge. How close will construction activity be to paddlers and swimmers? How loud will equipment be at river level? How will people communicate
Ramble
— Continued from page 1
with one another? What specific safety measures are planned during active construction periods?
Those are not unusual questions. What is unusual is how difficult it has been to get specific answers from SMART.
At first, they said it was too early to coordinate a plan. Then last October they said coordination of any kind was impossible because they need every available construction window to meet their timelines. But then in December they approved the final CEQA Addendum that left out any study of the actual river users in Healdsburg. This left us bewildered: How could we talk about safety measures for river users if SMART pretended river users didn’t exist?
People who spend time on the river understand something that general environmental summaries and engineering drawings do not always capture: The river is not static. Families spread out. Children drift ahead or fall behind. Paddleboards and kayaks move differently. Swimmers enter and leave the water. People call warnings to one another, point out hazards, regroup and help each other. Safety on the river often depends on communication, awareness and experience.
The concern is not whether a train should be built. The concern is that decisions affecting thousands of seasonal river users may be moving forward before some of the most basic site-specific safety questions have been publicly answered.
We’re asking that a new CEQA study
be completed before the demolition and reconstruction begins that takes into account the people who actually use the river.
CEQA was created to require agencies to examine foreseeable impacts before construction begins—not after communities are already living with the consequences. It does not require perfection, and it does not prohibit projects from moving forward. It requires agencies to identify potential impacts, publicly disclose them and ask difficult questions while there is still time for solutions to exist.
Once construction begins, communities lose leverage. Safety questions are easiest to answer before work starts— not after the public is told that decisions have already been made. If you paddle, swim, fish, float or bring your family to the Russian River, now is the time to speak up. Go to or log on to speak at the next SMART meeting, June 17 at 1:30pm.

prevalence of gun violence. It’s named for Gabby Giffords, the congresswoman who was shot at a rally in Tucson in January 2011. She has partially recovered and serves as both an inspiration and an organizer.
Since 2024 the Ramble has turned over some $250,000 to GIFFORDS, a total they hope to increase this year. “I just love their ethos, and I love Gabby. She’s a literal hero,” said Kelly Dorrance, who met Giffords in March when the congresswoman came to Healdsburg.
Yet it’s safe to say most people come for the music, not the issue. There, the Ramble has it covered. “Spoon is my favorite band,” Dorrance said. “And we have asked Spoon to be involved in the Ramble every single year. This time it works.” The five-piece band, formed in Austin in 1993, has a wide following.
But this year the Ramble stage will be a bit smaller than last year, when Ziggy Marley played with nine band members. “So we get to go back to a normal stage,” Dorrance said.
Next-billed is Lucius, a group from Brooklyn formed by singers Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig in 2007. They soon turned into a four-piece group, and did
a world tour behind their album, Wildewoman, in 2014. (They like to dress alike, like twins, which they are not.)
“Then I’m really excited about Tropa Magica,” Dorrance said. “They do something like East L.A. backyard Cubana ... which is going to be awesome. We haven’t had that vibe before.”
Also playing the Saturday, June 6, festival will be Devon Gilfillian, heard not that long ago at the Little Saint second story venue, and the lesser-known Plastic Cherries. “They’re from Salt Lake City, and one of the girls in the band is a friend of ours, and she just really wanted to do it,” Dorrance said.
BloodRoot Ramble is becoming about more than its cause and its music, according to Dorrance. “We learn a lot every year,” she said. “We’re still kind of honing in on what’s the perfect formula. Last year felt so great and it was so fun, but we definitely did not sell enough tickets.
“We’re really trying to lean more into the food and wine, because of where we live,” she continued. They considered a culinary tent, but could not find a sponsor. They will have two wine tents this year, not only to spread out the vendors—one of
them will have 20 wines from other local vintners (aside from the Dorrances’ own BloodRoot and Reeve wines). The other vendors have donated a case each, and their wines will be available by the glass or bottle until they are gone.
The VIPs will be well-treated, as always, with a private gathering the evening before and after Ramble, a special seating area and dedicated VIP food vendor at the concert as well as additional extra attention. But everyone feels well-treated at the Ramble: The food is good; the music is great; the vibe is Healdsburg. The event even has a cannabis sponsor this year, Solful—which has a special-edition five-pack of pre-rolls, in one of which is a surprise “golden pass” to the entire Ramble experience.
“For me, a priority is always ambitious small businesses in our community,” Dorrance said of the weed connection. “Like, I have so much appreciation for them, and anyway we can all support each other, it just feeds it. The high tide raises all ships.”
The Ramble will be held Saturday, June 6, from 2-10pm. Tickets still available at bloodrootramble.com.

LEGAL NOTICES
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.

REAL ESTATE
When considering a condo, it pays to do your homework
● Be sure to research dues and financial reserves how financially sound the homeowners association is.”
By Janis Mara
For buyers struggling to land their first home or homeowners looking to downsize, buying a condominium can be an excellent option—with some caveats.
Condos consistently cost 20 to 30 percent less than single-family homes, according to the California Association of Realtors. Other attractions of condos include amenities, maintenance and enhanced security.
“Generally, a condo complex will have such things as a weight room, a pool, tennis courts,” said Ida Abelson, a Bay Area real estate broker with 35 years’ experience. Also, there’s more security; even if the community isn’t gated, individual units aren’t accessible from the street.
“If you like to travel or are away at work a lot, that’s a big help,” said Abelson, who focuses on condo communities.
Also, home maintenance is a big advantage, the broker said.
If the grass needs mowing, the exterior walls need painting or the roof is leaking, condo dwellers don’t have to take care of it themselves or find someone else to do it. All that maintenance work is covered by the association dues the condo owner pays every month.
While brings us to why it’s so important to do your homework: the homeowners association and its dues.
“You have to find out what the monthly dues are and what they cover,” Abelson said. “Be sure to find out
Such dues vary widely, according to the blog of Bay Area Realtor Leon De-Levi. A smaller, low-amenity building may charge only a few hundred dollars per month. Amenity-rich high-rises often run many hundreds to more than a thousand per month.
The seller is required by law to provide the buyer with the most recent homeowners association documents. These include financial statements and its covenants, conditions and restrictions—the Bible of condo ownership.
Buyers are legally entitled to ask what dues include, whether reserves are adequately funded, and whether special assessments are planned.
This is one of those situations where a good real estate agent is invaluable in helping you evaluate these documents. You might want to consider having a real estate attorney look over the documents as well.
Advantages of single-family homes over condos include the fact that you own both the structure and the land; condo ownership is restricted to the four walls you call home. Also, homeowners associations often have rules that restrict how much the owner can personalize or renovate.
These characteristics probably are of most concern to people with young families who want a yard for their kids to play in and the ability to paint and decorate as they see fit.
For others, like first-time buyers who probably spend lots of time at work or retirees more interested in playing golf than shingling a roof, a condo can be a perfect fit.
