It ain’t BottleRock, and that’s a good thing. Although the Napabased music festival shares the same initials as Healdsburg’s BloodRoot, one won’t find miles-long traffic jams, $250 tickets or caviar corndogs here— nor is one likely to find stars like Justin Timberlake, Green Day or Public Enemy. But BloodRoot
has plenty of talent taking the stage: four bands over an eighthour day of music, including at least one international star. Ziggy Marley hasn’t played in Sonoma County for 10 years, but he remains one of the biggest names in reggae, the musical genre that his father did so much to popularize. Ziggy, one

● Library to close June 3, reopen downtown June 25
Bad news first: The temporary “Mini Library” at the Healdsburg Community Center will close on Tuesday, June 3. There will be no indoor services for three weeks, which will allow library staff to move in and organize the remodeled library and contractors to finish furniture installation.
The good news is that the Healdsburg Regional Library in downtown Healdsburg will fully reopen its doors on Wednesday, June 25, at 10am, after a topto-bottom remodel.
“We are ecstatic over how the remodel has turned out,” said Sonoma County Library Director Erika Thibault. “This allows us to improve access and service, and it looks fantastic. The community is going to love it!”
After the June 3 closure, no local services will be offered from June 4-6, although regional libraries in Cloverdale and Windsor will remain open. Beginning Saturday, June 7, the Piper Street library location will open for limited service, curbside holds pickup and returns seven days a week. The BiblioBus will also be available on select afternoons for browsing.
“Library staff are overjoyed to return to the Piper Street Branch,” said Branch Manager Jon Haupt. “Our regular location is ideal—walkable to local schools and services in the heart of Healdsburg.” He added special thanks to the City of Healdsburg for the temporary space provided at the community center.
The modernization of Healdsburg’s library includes new carpet, paint, lighting, windows, shelving and furniture.
The expanded children’s area includes fanciful tree shapes and innovative reading cubbyholes. Local teens will have their own area, adults will enjoy extensive new shelving and improved seating, and the Sonoma County Wine Library will have expanded storage for its many books and ephemera.
The remodel includes a refreshed outdoor patio; gender-neutral restrooms; a private “study pod”; a laptop-lending kiosk that expands computer use inside the library; a 24/7 smart locker outside for holds pickup (the BiblioBox); upgrades to heating, cooling and electrical systems; and an automated book-sorting machine that will get returns back on shelves quickly.
Healdsburg has had a public library since 1857, and over the years it moved to several locations. The longest serving building, at 221 Matheson St., was a Carnegie Library built in 1911 and now occupied by the Healdsburg Museum and Historical Society.
The current building, at 139 Piper St., opened in 1988 and has undergone minor updates, but nothing as extensive as the project winding up now.
The project is funded primarily by the library sales tax, which voters recently renewed. The Friends of the Healdsburg Library contributed more than $100,000 toward the project, and the City of Healdsburg allocated $240,000 toward exterior access improvements.
Call the Healdsburg Library at 707.433.3772 for more details on its services in June.
● In Healdsburg, summer doesn’t arrive quietly—it parades in and takes over
By Liza Gershman
Every year on the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend, the streets of Healdsburg fill with music and marching bands, vintage tractors and streamers, and the laughter of the Twilight Parade. The sidewalks brim over with families in folding chairs and children waving flags, and all across town, porches and patios transform into party stops.
I began the afternoon at the museum, wandered through a Rotary barbecue and ended up at a house party on Matheson Street, just across from the judges’ booth, with hot dogs on the grill and laughter drifting through the treetops.
This is the rhythm of small-town summer: unhurried, joyful, deeply familiar. By the weekend, the fairgrounds were alive with the rituals of 4-H and FFA. Teenagers in pristine white uniforms led their animals through sawdust-lined rings with quiet poise. Steers, pigs, sheep, lambs, rabbits—each one the result of months of early mornings, careful feeding and calm
hands. Around the ring, local buyers— including chefs and restaurant owners— leaned in to place their bids.
The animals raised here will appear soon on local menus, their care and quality a direct link between farm and table. It’s not just tradition on display; it’s the living economy of our region, with community members investing in the next generation of agriculture—one meal at a time.
Beyond the barns, the fair offered its usual comforts. Fudge from the Dry Creek Neighbors Association, handed out in gooey slices; fries from the Kiwanis, still sizzling; handmade ice cream from a local school group, melting fast in the afternoon heat. Those are the flavors of an American summer—and Healdsburg leans all the way in.
I sat for a while near the auction ring with a basket of those fries, still steaming, and thought about how something so simple can feel like a kind of ceremony. Not loud or showy. Just deeply felt. At one point, a friend rushed to end a phone
Look for these fresh garden fruits and veggies at the Healdsburg Farmers’ Market, Saturdays at the West Plaza parking lot, 8:30am to noon, and Tuesdays at the Plaza, 9am to 12:30pm.
• Asparagus: Tender and flavorful, ideal for grilling or roasting.
• Artichokes: A spring favorite, perfect for steaming or stuffing.
• Fava Beans: Nutty and buttery, great in salads or purees.
• Leeks: Mild and sweet, excellent in soups and quiches.
• Spinach : Vibrant and nutrient-rich, suitable for salads and sautés.
call with me, saying she had to go “bid on a lamb.” I smiled. Here, even everyday conversations carry the rhythm of the land.
Like my own formative experiences at the Sonoma County Fair or the House of Flowers, this fair will shape the memory of today’s children. And woven into that memory is a quiet lesson: Food comes from somewhere—and often, it comes from someone just down the road.
These gatherings are part of a much older tradition. The first agricultural fair in America was held in 1811, and by 1841, the first state fair opened in Syracuse, New York. These events were places for communities to exchange knowledge, showcase the season’s best, and connect through food and livestock. That spirit still holds. Not everywhere—but here, it does.
Fairs reflect the lives of the people who build them—one craft, one steer, one hot dog at a time. They’re stitched together with time and care, shaped by the hands that show up each year to make them happen.
This is how summer begins: with a parade, a scoop of melting ice cream and the steady rhythm of a town that still knows how to gather—and how to keep its food close to home.
• Radishes: Crisp and peppery, adding crunch to dishes.
• Peas: Sweet and tender, delightful in pastas and risottos.
• Zucchini : Versatile and abundant, perfect for grilling or baking.
• Strawberries : Juicy and sweet, ideal for desserts and jams.
• Cherries : Plump and flavorful, great for snacking or pies.
• Apricots: Soft and tangy, perfect for fresh eating or preserves.
• Blueberries : Bursting with antioxidants, excellent in muffins and cereals.
• Raspberries : Delicate and tart, wonderful in sauces and desserts.
• Blackberries : Rich and juicy, suitable for cobblers and jams
Liza Gershman’s upcoming book, ‘Farm + Market: Healdsburg,’ will celebrate the people, recipes and local bounty of the community. Proceeds from the book go to support the Healdsburg Certified Farmers’ Market. For more details, please visit the website at healdsburgbook.com.
GAME SMARTS Junior Hayden Mariani has been a standout on both offense and defense for the Healdsburg Greyhounds this year. Here he slaps a single into the outfield during Rec Park play last month, after which he stole a base and scored a run.
deep into Division 4 playoffs
By Caleb Knudsen
For the first time in Mark Domenichelli’s 16 years as a baseball coach at Healdsburg High, his team has reached the semifinals in the division championship series. That means they’re just one win away from the finals, two from the title.
They are performing even better than they did in 2022, when they finished the year with a 17-11 record overall but Domenichelli received a Coach of the Year in Baseball for the California North Coast Section.
If earlier this season the team experienced a couple of rough patches, in the last month they have been one of the hottest teams in the state, winning eight of their last nine games. Last week they knocked off the division’s #1 team, the Arroyo Dons in San Lorenzo, winning by a 6-0 final score.
Starting pitcher Alex Mauro-Manos was, in the coach’s word, “spectacular.”
The junior needed only 74 pitches over the seven-inning game, which Domenichelli called “the best game we played all year.”
“We played without four players because of the (FFA) fair, and two were starters,” he said, referring to Frank Rea and Vinny Loupy. No matter: the Greyhound dugout is deep.
Alex Cyphers came up huge, going two-for-three with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored. Nova Perrill II went two-for-four with an RBI, and John Wallace got an RBI on a sacrifice fly, walked, singled and scored a run. “Total team effort,” the coach repeated.
Dominant pitching
But it was pitching once again that kept the Greyhound winning streak going.
Early in the season sophomore Noah Wong delivered a series of strong outings. Then senior lefty Eric Nielsen came on like Koufax, running up a 10-0 stat for a new school record. He’s also charted three saves and 82 strikeouts, making him one of the state’s top 10 pitchers.
His performance in the first round drew superlatives from the coach. “Eric saved his best for last. He was sensational and I’m so proud of him. He worked hard for four years to put himself in this situation, and all the hard work paid off,” Domenichelli said. “He had everything working against St. Patrick’s. The fastball was electric, and his combination of change-up and curveball had them off-balance all day.”
The May 21 game, played in Vallejo against #9 seed St. Patrick-St. Vincent, ended in a 5-2 win for the Greyhounds. “It was special,” said the coach of Nielsen’s eight strikeouts over five innings.
Then junior Mauro-Manos (5-3)— last year’s co-MVP Pitcher of the Year— returned to form after an early season injury prevented extensive outings. Before he handcuffed the Dons with his complete game performance, he won against both Piner and Santa Rosa to close out the North Bay League-Redwood schedule.
A couple of weeks ago, Domenichelli was bursting with what seemed like unwar-
ranted optimism, pointing to the team’s 17-6 record as “one of the best seasons of all time,” he said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the guys. They like playing together, and they make it fun to go to practice.”
Now the team is 19-7, climbing up the division ladder in the hunt for their 20th win and a division championship.
Semifinal game
“On to Las Lomas on Wednesday,” Domenichelli said after the Arroyo upset. The Knights have a 14-11-1 record and are seeded 13th in the 16-team series. Healdsburg is seeded # 8, but beating #1 Arroyo should give them an edge.
On the other hand, it was Las Lomas that upset #5 Moreau Catholic last week, 7-1, on a convincing one-hitter from Noah Sison. It’s not known if Mauro-Manos or Nielsen will start for the Greyhounds on Wednesday night (results too late for press time).
More to the point for local fans: Since Healdsburg is the higher seed, by tradition the game should be played in Healdsburg. But the Rec Park field is closed, given a rest between the FFA Fair and the opening of the Prune Packers season on June 6.
So the game instead will be played in Walnut Creek, home of the Knights.
“I feel awful for the boys, not because of the field being closed—but I wish the school and community could appreciate all the hard work they put in this year,” Domenichelli said.
The Healdsburg Tribune will publish results on Facebook on Thursday, and in the paper next week.
DISCONNECTED Actors Brady Morales-Woolery and Lizzie Calogero communicate through the audience, and in texts, in the play ‘The Burdens’ on the The 222 stage through June 1.
● Darkly comic ‘The Burdens’ at The 222
By Harry Duke
Who hasn’t been tripped up by the slip of a finger while texting with family or been infuriated with ducking autocorrect? Who hasn’t had their message misunderstood because tone and attitude can’t be conveyed via modern communication methods? Who hasn’t mistakenly wished for the death of their grandfather in a text chain with a sibling and then found themselves exploring options for doing so?
That’s the crux of Matt Schatz’s The Burdens, a darkly comic tale now running at The 222 in Healdsburg through June 1.
Jane (Lizzie Calogero) and Mordy (Brady Morales-Woolery) are siblings who, like most families these days, communicate almost exclusively via text, email and voicemail. Jane is a high-powered attorney living in New Jersey. Mordy is a musician trying to make it in Hollywood but working as a pharmacist’s assistant. While separated by distance, they are joined by their mutual loathing of their abusive grandfather, ‘Zad Zad.’
During one text session, Jane wonders if their grandfather really appreciates what his daughter, their mother, does for him. Mordy responds that he hopes he does, except that he hits the letter “i” after “d” instead of “o.” The problem is, Jane quickly agrees. And she thinks they should do something about it. What follows is a series of texts, emails and voicemails as they debate, plan and eventually attempt
to execute—literally—their plan.
A series of texts, emails and voicemails? An entire show whose dialogue consists of digital communication?
Yep, and it works.
Director Jennifer King and her cast meet the challenge head-on and bring the characters alive as the messages are enacted with all the intent, emotion and humor that electronic communication lacks. Their delivery is to the audience, not each other, as they never acknowledge each other’s presence on the stage. It’s as if the audience is the midpoint between the flow of bits and bytes of data between the two. It also illustrates how unconnected we really are from each other when using a technology that’s supposed to bring us together.
Beyond the issues of the pitfalls of modern communication, or miscommunication, Schatz’s brisk 75-minute play delves into the family dynamic, especially the bond and battles between siblings. While members of the audience may not relate to their desire for killing their grandfather, they may relate to their desire, after things go a bit haywire, to kill each other.
While I think it cops out a bit at the end, The Burdens is a pretty funny look at the perils of letting one’s fingers do the talkin.’
‘The Burdens’ runs through June 1 at The 222. Fri-Sat, 7pm; Sun, 2pm. $45-$105. Students free with ID. 707.473.9152. the222.org
“WES” ALLEN BROOKS
April 2, 1942 – May 16, 2025
Wesley “Wes” Allen Brooks. age 83, was born April 4,1942 in Healdsburg California and passed peacefully at home on May 16, 2025. He grew up on the family ranch on Brooks Road in Windsor. He attended Healdsburg schools and graduated from Healdsburg High School in 1960. Wes spent his days working as an excavating contractor. Some of his accomplishments were assisting in the creation of the Geysers Geothermal Power Plant, built many roads, ponds, reservoirs, prepared land for wineries, moving earth across Sonoma County and Northern California. He operated Brooks Quarry for 60 years. He also installed the dam at Del Rio Woods from 1966 well into this decade for the community to enjoy a local swimming spot.
Wes was hard-working, rarely taking a day off work until he retired from the quarry in 2024. He enjoyed sharing Sonoma County history, pictures and stories of the Brooks family.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Albert Brooks, Alice Brooks (Evans); brother, Vernon and sister, Virginia. He is survived by his caring wife of 59 years Martha; sons, James (Iris), David (Tatiana); and daughter, Mary Barker (Brian). Wes is survived by his grandchildren, Gregory, Mason, Alo, Brody, Evelyn (Barker), Hudson, Vini; as well as sisters, Carole, Marilyn, Janet, many nieces, nephews and relatives.
He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

He’s been touring since his father’s death in 1981 and has produced several hit songs of his own: the albums Conscious Party with the Melody Makers, Love is My Religion and Fly Rasta all won Grammys.
He was also a producer of the recent film “One Love,” which despite mixed reviews rekindled interest in reggae and Bob Marley’s life. Marley himself was a victim of gun violence, when unknown assailants broke into his Kingston home and opened fire. He was hit, as were his wife Rita and several others, though there were no fatalities.

June as Pride Month in Healdsburg.
A few days later, on the following Sunday, the same location will see a ceremony by the local Professionals With Pride organization. This and other similar gatherings in June are due in part to PWP’s assertion that Sonoma County has the second-largest population of LGBTQIA+ identifying homes in the nation.
The event, billed as Healdsburg’s “First Annual Pride and Tea Dance!”, promises a day of celebration, inclusivity and support.
The flagpole event starts at 2pm, featuring speakers and entertainment for about a half-hour after which the group will adjourn to the nearby Healdsburg Bar & Grill (245 Healdsburg Ave.) for an after-party and silent auction.
City Manager Jeff Kay said he’ll pay a visit to the 2pm gathering, and other city employees may as well. Vice Mayor Chris Herrod is on the speakers list, as is Mariah Hanson, an early promoter of what became
en female quartet La Luz play this year, with their synth surf-rock influences.
Don’t think that this year’s line-up marks a change in genre for the Ramble to reggae. It’s still an emphatically indierock event, but that’s a broad category that reflects the taste of the organizers if not their generation.
The musical day begins just after noon with the Coffis Brothers, a Santa Cruz-area band with a local following thanks to their gigs at Elephant in the Room. La Luz is next up, followed by Richy Mitch and the Coal Miners—another in a long string of indie-folk rock bands based in Seattle (home of Nirvana and Soundgarden).
On the other hand, Local Natives are from SoCal. “They could honestly be headliners in their own right,” Dorrance said. “We’ve just been fans of theirs for a really long time, and we actually have been trying to get them to play the Ramble for the last two years, but with our schedule and all that just didn’t work out until this year.”
at the playing fields at the Abel De Luna Community Center north of town—it’s roomier than the West Plaza Park that saw the first Ramble in 2023, and it’s grassy.
Getting the city to permit the community center as a concert venue wasn’t easy, but it worked out well. “They kept trying to put us in the parking lot where this Healdsburg Wine & Food thing happens, you know?” said Kelly Dorrance. “And I was like, ‘I don’t want a parking lot, I want grass.’”
Last year about 2,500 tickets sold, and while the Dorrances hope for at least that many sales this year they recognize the hurdles. “It’s like the wine industry— there’s just too many festivals, too many other options and too many distractions,” she said. “The ideal Ramble would just be sustainable—and I think we would just keep doing what we do.”
but it’s also inextricably linked with the issue of gun violence. BloodRoot’s Kelley and Noah Dorrance lost a niece in the 2023 Nashville Covenant School shooting, just as plans for the first BloodRoot were taking shape. The festival continued as a benefit for GIFFORDS, the advocacy and research organization preventing gun violence founded in the wake of Rep. Gabby Giffords’s shooting in 2011.
Since 2023, BloodRoot has brought numerous noted performers to Healdsburg for a full day of indie-rock energy, including Lord Huron, Lone Bellow, Susto, Andrew Bird, Cautious Clay, the Nude Party and others. The Dorrances also seem to harbor a secret fondness for surf music—the Cayucas played in 2023 and the harmonically-driv-
the Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, and entertainer Lambert Moss. Lise Asimont with Dot Wines will be emcee.
It is not an official city event, Kay said, but no permit was necessary, as the city pitched in to help host it.
The primary speaker will be Gary Saperstein of Sonoma, founder and owner of Out in the Vineyard, the earliest and by most accounts most successful of niche wine tourism enterprises. He is also a former interim executive director of the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau, among a handful of other pursuits.
In Sonoma he’s a magnet for positive publicity and action. Healdsburg city employees should know that Saperstein, who lives in Sonoma, convinced the city council there to paint the crosswalks the colors of the rainbow for Pride Month.
“For me during these challenging times it is more important than ever for our community to come together,” he said when asked about his role in the Healdsburg Professionals with Pride event on
The Orange County band marks its 20th year with a new lineup, as co-founder Kelsey Ayer left just last year. Taylor Rice still handles lead vocals and their latest CD, “But I’ll Wait for You,” is only a year old.
Local Natives is the second band billed for this year’s BloodRoot, scheduled to take the stage at 4:45pm to warm up the crowd for Ziggy Marley at 6:45pm—if all goes according to schedule. Between sets, DJ Con Queso will fill the sound void with actual vinyl classics. Friday night a welcome reception at Reeve Wines on Dry Creek Road (with Local Natives) followed by a kick-off party at Little Saint (with “y’alternative rock” singer Timmy Skelly) complete a full menu of music for a memorable weekend. These extras are available to a limited number of “Golden Ticket” holders (see website for details).
That’s just the musical part of it. For the second year, The Ramble will be staged
June 8. “This is where we find our joy, our power and our resilience to fight for our rights and our lives.”
Afterward, the Healdsburg Bar & Grill will be the scene of a “tea time” until 5:30pm. A DJ will spin sounds, and drinks and food—as well as auction tickets—will be available. Space is limited to 150 people, so pre-sale tickets ($35 - $50 ) are necessary. The event is a fundraiser for Professionals with Pride, a.k.a. Sonoma County’s LGBTQIA+ Chamber of Commerce. A portion of the proceeds will benefit LGBTQIA+ charities, in partnership with Healdsburg High School’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance.
This event is one of several area Pride events this year, including in Santa Rosa (May 30-31), Sonoma (May 30-June 1), Rohnert Park (May 31), Windsor (June 21) and elsewhere.
For more information and tickets, see professionalswithpride.org.
This year the plan is to put the stage near the baseball diamond so the fans get the afternoon shade from the Foss Creek corridor. There will be four food trucks, an ice cream truck, beer from Moonlight brewing, and wine from BloodRoot and Reeve (the Dorrances’ two labels) as well as from Overshine and Idlewild.
There will also be an open-air market and a raffle with cool prizes, but ultimately the purpose of the event is to raise money for GIFFORDS. For Kelly Dorrance, that has always been the point.
“Reggae’s always been rooted in protest with love,” she said. “And that kind of feels apropos, given the current situation—and given our cause.”
The BloodRoot Ramble begins Friday evening, June 6, with VIP events. The concert is from noon to 8pm on Saturday at the Abel De Luna Community Center, 1557 Healdsburg Ave. More information and tickets at bloodrootramble.com.
● A walk at Riverfront Regional Park is a quiet alternative to Memorial Day weekend
by Pierre Ratte
Healdsburg has such lovely hiking trails. It offers so many things to do to kickoff summer over the long Memorial Day weekend. The Future Farmers of America Fair and the Thursday night Twilight Parade, where Healdsbergians either join the parade or watch it, dominated weekend activities along with picnics, barbecues and pool parties. But Healdsburg also offers the possibility of stepping outside the hubbub and hitting a trail.
The view in the above photo was taken from the trail at Riverside Regional Park—a lovely park where two lakes almost merge with the Russian River. Whether people paddled or hiked in picture-perfect weekend weather, or took advantage of in-town festivities, here’s hoping everyone enjoyed the lovely weather, the gatherings and Healdsburg’s friendly community.
Fun facts: Riverfront Regional Park has two lakes: Lake Benoist and Lake Wilson. Both are reclaimed gravel pits from the Basalt Rock Company, later acquired by Dillingham Construction, then Syar Industries. During the height of rock and gravel operations, these mining sites
supplied aggregate for the foundations of the Golden Gate Bridge (1933-1937), roads and commercial building sites in downtown San Francisco.
Riverfront Park comprises approximately 300 acres. The two lakes comprise 37 acres and 67 acres, about one-third of the park. A third lake, Lake McLaughlin, lies outside the park on land held by Sonoma Water.
A reasonably flat and wide hiking trail 2.2 miles in length circles the lakes, with approximately a half-mile passing through a stately redwood picnic grove.
The Russian River in this area lays on top of a vast gravel bed extending 60 feet under the river. The gravel bed extends through much of the Russian River Valley, creating a major regional aquifer. The gravel deposits were created by coast range uplifts and a millennia of erosional outwashes from mountain creeks.
The redwood picnic grove was preserved with the help of Sonoma County Ag + Open Space District. Check Sonoma County Regional Parks and Ag + Open Space’s website at sonomaopenspace.org for more information on hiking trails and conserved open spaces in Sonoma County.
