landscape architecture, interior design, crafts,” he continued. “It’s not specifically an art festival; it’s a design festival.”

Jeff Kay took most of the city manager’s report time in last week’s City Council meeting to discuss the upcoming rainy season, a time of year that has many fearing a flood of epic proportions, thanks to a projected El Niño event. “The city is aware of the state’s emergency declaration regarding El Niño,” Kay stated. Though he did not announce a n y s p e c i f i c p re e m p t i ve actions, he did take note that the State of California has done so, on Sept. 21 declaring a state of emergency to support recovery of several counties already hit by the irregular weather phenomenon and in anticipation of more damage to come.

Open up to design in Healdsburg ● Four-day festival to perceive our homes, and home town, in a new way By Christian Kallen Starting concurrently with this week’s Art Nite on Thursday is the return of the four-day Design Healdsburg, produced by Design Bay Area. It’s in a class with similar North Bay Design weekends in San Francisco and Marin, and once again Healdsburg claims a strong centerpiece for a four-day festival. Visitors are urged to “Experience

Healdsburg through the lens of design,” the weekend’s title. “It’s basically a design week,” said Dawn Zidonis, CEO and co-founder of Design North Bay. “San Francisco Design Week, Milan Design Week. San Francisco Design Week has been around for 20 years, and I don’t know how long Milan has been around, but it’s been a pretty long time.”

According to Jonatha n Pearlman, local architect and a passionate ambassador for the concept, “They happen in cities around the world. Right now there’s an Oslo Design Week. They have them in London, in Paris, all over the world.” He leads a seminar in Design Healdsburg, moderates another and offers his modernist home up for inspection during the Oct. 1-4 event. “What we see here in Healdsburg is a good concentration of creative people in architecture,

up, based on City Attorney Alex Mog’s statement that “we can declare an emergency due to the existence or the threatened existence of conditions that cause extreme peril to safety of persons, property, or public health within the city.” Supervisor James Gore, whose 4th District includes Healdsburg as well as Cloverdale, indicated he would bring the issue up before the Board of Supervisors. El Niño is an occasional climate phenomenon where sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean become significantly warmer than average. This can lead to extreme rainfall in the southern U.S., such as the San Diego/ Los Angeles area, but warmer and drier weather in the northern region of the West Coast.

With Sonoma County’s location midstate, the coming winter is simply uncertain: Wetter or drier? If drier, we have the reservoir levels to be concerned about and the possibility of less available water for drinking or agriculture. In a way, it’s almost easier to take pre-emptive caution for a rainy season than a drought. So the City is shifting from reactive maintenance to a proactive, multi-departmental strategy, Kay outlined in his comments, to mitigate localized flooding. “We spent time during your budget [discussions] on this issue,” he said. “This is something that was already important and part of our work plan, but we’re trying to be responsive to what could be a really challenging year. So I wanted to share a few of the things we’re working on at this point.” Specifically, Kay pointed out progress over “ponding issues” on Powell — More on page 7

“Operation Christmas” Committee Prepares Cakes for First Shipment Thirteen members of the “Operation Christmas” committee were present Thursday night to prepare the first batch of fruit cakes which will be shipped to local servicemen and members of Healdsburg’s Adopted Battalion. Approximately 63 cakes were prepared and cooked Thursday night. A testing

batch, prepared on Thursday, September 20, was given the final approval. The 2-pound cakes are baked in the can, sealed hot and kept fresh and free from staleness and mildew. It was discovered that it was unnecessary to place wax paper in the cans thus eliminating a great deal of work.

Donations to “Operation Christmas” have been received during the past week, but funds as well as walnuts and dried fruits are still needed.

meeting begins at 3 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors meeting room at the county administration center. The Chiquita Road annexation has received the recommendation of the Healdsburg Planning Commission and City Council. It has met opposition, however, from residents in the area. They believe it will encourage further expansion of the city west of the freeway, which they oppose. Proponents say the area has no farming potential and is therefore better suited for develop-

ment than other areas where prime farm land would have to be sacrificed. They say Chiquita is the natural growth area for the city, which is hemmed in by geographical boundaries elsewhere, or by an earthquake fault. No development plans have been filed by Chiquita Enterprises for the area.

SPORTS When sub-par play is a good thing ● Girls varsity golfers stay perfect at season’s midpoint Far from the lights of Rec Park or the courts of Healdsburg High, one of the most successful athletic teams of this year, as it was last, is the girls golf team. Last year’s team won the NBL-Redwood pennant with a 10-0 record, besting each league opponent twice.This year’s team is off to another strong start, with a proven roster of players. High school golfers play on professional nine-hole courses, whose par is usually 35 or 36, just as an 18-hole tournament has a par 72 as the standard. High schoolers who break par are rare, but it is not unheard of even at this level. Brooklyn Viramontes is one: She broke par in the Rancho Cotate match of Sept. 14, and again against Wind-

While a Design Week might be a relatively recent notion (or cross-marketing tool), design itself is an older concept that roughly coincides with the Industrial Revolution. Because things could be shaped, manufactured and produced in quantity, over time they can create a common assembly of objects, and hence an aesthetic of place. Because the crafts of design produce all the elements of the house, from doormat to toaster, and shape the landscape around—it becomes a standard aesthetic for its consumers. An elegant solution to a mechanical problem, an arrangement of objects in space, or both. Vide, Mr. Coffee. “I mean this in the broadest sense, but design can be a couple different things,” Zidonis said. “It’s either communicating something or it’s helping make our lives better. A tool that you can utilize, or an appliance. I mean, if

you think about it, everything around you is designed, everything. Even nature has design elements.” Many of the deeper conversations in the sensory arts of design can take place from Thursday to Sunday afternoon, at close to 30 different locations in Healdsburg. Some are as familiar as McIntyre Tile and the Portalupi Tasting Room, and some as obscure as the Neurobeauty Sensory Room on Matheson, which sounds (and looks like, and smells like, and feels like …) a good a way to awaken the five senses to fully appreciate design or wine tasting. Apropos of that, Design Healdsburg offers two opportunities to tour Banshee Wines and Homes, a relatively new Alexander Valley estate from architects Amy Nielsen and Richard Schuh. Legendary chef Nancy Oakes and sausage-maker Bruce Aidells let visitors check out their Greene and Greene-styled Craftsman, built less than 20 years ago and wholly reflective of another era.

Street where basin repair is completed. At Healdsburg and Palm Avenue, in the so-called Ward Street area, similar ponding issues “were completed very recently,” he said. “We have three large projects that are capital improvement projects funded in the budget,” he continued. One of those is the Grant Avenue storm drain repair near Hwy 101, where work has already begun. At Willow Glen Court just west of Byron Gibbs Park, a larger capital project is currently being engineered, so it’s not likely to be finished before this season. “And we’re evaluating the Foss Creek bypass system that’s right pretty much behind me out here along Grove Street and Vine,” said Kay, gesturing to his left from his seat with staff at the City Council meeting. “We’ll list sediment issues and are continuing to explore a few different potential solutions to that, some of which are short-term and some are longer-term solutions.” The recognition of the Foss Creek area is significant, as it’s where SMART recently targeted its preferred Healdsburg station location. One doesn’t even have to be an old-timer to remember canoes and kayaks paddling the waters of the Vine Street Shopping Center, where Safeway is still located, in 2014. “When it rains as hard as it did last January, rainfall exceeds the capacity of our storm drains. Making sure the drains are clear and operational is a significant priority for the City,” said Public Works Director Larry Zimmer. “You can imagine that our public works crews are spread really thin, really quickly, when they’re out clearing rain drainage areas,” Kay said. “If we can get just half an hour or so where the rain lets up, the system functions pretty well and catches up, but when we don’t get that we have challenges.” The obvious solution is a systemwide upgrade to the drainage system. “There was some work done on larger pricing-out projects about a decade ago, and the numbers frankly are pretty astronomical, many multiples of what our annual general fund budget is. So I don’t think that’s in the cards in the near term,” Kay concluded. It’s not quite just a wait-and-see situation, but the city manager was openly skeptical of making an emergency declaration. “At this time, we don’t see a strategic advantage for a city declaration,” he said. “Normally, the reason you might do that would be to access more money. I’m not aware of any money that’s out there that would help us at this time.” Visit healdsburgemergency.org for details.

Douglas McIlroy June 29, 1958 — September 11, 2026

ouglas “Doug” McIlroy passed away peacefully on September 11, 2026, with his beloved wife, PJ, by his side. He will be remembered for his kindness, loyalty, wonderful sense of humor and deep love for the land, the community and the people who meant so much to him. Born June 29, 1958, in London, England, to Margaret and Malcolm McIlroy, Doug grew up in Belvedere and Tiburon and spent most of his life in Sonoma County. As a graduate of UC Davis, where he earned double majors in Plant Science and Economics, Doug devoted his career to the wine industry, serving as a Grower Relations Director for several wineries. Doug cared deeply about agriculture and the environment. He was a passionate advocate for sustainable, fish-friendly farming and responsible stewardship of the land. He believed that doing things the right way, with honesty, integrity and respect, mattered. Doug’s contributions to the agricultural community were recognized with the 2012 Sonoma County Winegrape Commission Viticulture Award of Excellence. In 2018, he was honored with the Luther Burbank Conservation Award by the Sonoma County Farm Bureau, presented on behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives and signed by Members of Congress Mike Thompson and Jared Huffman. It was an honor he cherished deeply. Doug met PJ Lenz on October 10, 2010. They became engaged on November 11, 2011, and married on December 12, 2012. Their marriage was a loving partnership, filled with companionship, laughter and a deep bond that made them stronger together.

Doug found great joy in fly fishing, photography, volunteering at the Healdsburg Museum and, most of all, spending time with family and friends. He is survived by his siblings Patrick McIlroy (Kathy), Elizabeth “Liz” Stonehill, and William “Will” McIlroy (Merry); his beloved nieces and nephews Tara (David), Sean (Ulla), Shannon (Daryn), Laura (Nick), Alex (Sarah), Julia (Tricia), Katrina (Joe) and Nick (Corynn); and numerous grandnieces and grandnephews. He also is survived by his mother-in-law, Mami, Marlyse Lenz. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Andrew, and his brother-in-law Jeff Stonehill. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to the compassionate staff at Enso Village, the Sutter Hospice team, and the many care companions who brought Doug comfort, kindness and care. Doug was also surrounded and supported by many wonderful friends and neighbors, and especially Nancy Estomba, whose help and friendship meant more than can be expressed. A celebration of Doug’s life will be held in spring 2027. In his memory, donations can be made to UC Davis Give. UCDavis.edu/Area or The Healdsburg Museum and Historical Society HealdsburgMuseum.org/take-action And, most importantly, raise a glass of wine in Doug’s honor, to a life well lived, a land well loved and a man who made the lives of those around him a little brighter.

Robert “Bob” Lee Presley November 21, 1948 — September 23, 2026

obert “Bob” Lee Presley passed away on September 23, 2026, in Healdsburg, California. He was born November 21, 1948, in Silverton, Oregon, grew up in Annapolis, California, and spent most of his life in Geyserville, California.

Bob proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. After returning home, he went on to do the kind of work that suited him best: hard work. He spent his working years as a logger and heavy equipment operator, and he was never afraid of getting his hands dirty. When Bob wasn’t working, there was a good chance you could find him hunting, fishing, enjoying the outdoors or perhaps doing a little less strenuous “field research” at the B & B Lounge or John & Zeke’s. Bob appreciated a good watering hole, good friends and a good story, although the accuracy of those stories may have depended on how late in the evening you heard them. Bob was a familiar face and a true character. He wasn’t one for unnecessary fuss, and those who knew him knew exactly where they stood. He worked hard, played hard, loved the outdoors and lived life very much on his own terms. He leaves behind plenty of stories, laughs and memories for his family and friends to keep telling, and probably a few that are better left untold. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Howard “Bud” Presley and Betty (Taylor) Presley; his beloved younger brother, Ken Presley; and family member Joanne Kazimi. He is survived by his loving daughter, Jessica Presley of Wilburton, Oklahoma; his older brother, Ron Presley and his wife, Olivia; nieces Lisa (Patrick) Thomas and Kim Presley (Bobby); nephews Ben Presley (Liz) and Jake Presley (Tina); and his special niece, Tawnie Johnson. Bob was a proud Vietnam veteran, a logger, an equipment operator, a hunter, a fisherman, a father, a brother, an uncle and, perhaps most importantly, a man who was unmistakably himself. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 2pm at Bob’s home in Geyserville, California. Friends and family are invited to gather, share memories, tell a few Bob stories, and raise a glass to a life well-lived. Rest easy, Bob. May the fish be biting, the hunting be good and the barstool always be waiting.

REAL ESTATE

Don’t let interest rate jump make you jumpy ● Historically, 7 percent mortgages are not that high By Janis Mara

hile Wednesday’s jump in interest rates has undeniably increased the cost of buying a home, a Bay Area mortgage broker urged homebuyers not to be discouraged. Mortgage interest rates are around 7 percent now, the highest in nearly two years. While this will likely affect homebuyers’ buying power, holding off on purchasing a home solely because of interest rates isn’t necessarily a wise move. It’s understandable that the higher rates might give a potential homebuyer pause, said Glenn Groves, broker-owner of GTG Financial, a Bay Area mortgage brokerage. Mortgage interest rates affect home purchases because the amount of interest on a home loan affects how much a buyer will have to pay every month. For example, Groves calculated the difference just a one-percent interest change would make. “Let’s take for example a $610,000 home, with a 20 percent down payment and a 30-year fixed mortgage,” he said. “The 20 percent down payment gives us a loan amount of $488,000. At seven percent, that gives us a monthly payment of $3,246 in principal and interest. At a six percent rate, that is a $320 a month difference.” But by no means should you allow this to drive you out of the market, the broker-owner emphasized. “It all comes down to your specific situation,” said Groves, who has been in the business 17 years. Other factors include how many

homes are on the market, the current median home prices, seasonal timing and your credit score. Homes are taking longer to sell across the Bay Area, with the exception of San Francisco and adjacent areas, where an influx of artificial intelligence workers has caused a boom. Having more homes on the market gives buyers more negotiating power. Also, this is autumn, a time that often brings price reductions. Spring is the hot season for most buyers, who want to secure a new home before vacations and the new school year start. Of course, home prices and your ability to afford them are paramount. Having a high credit score—740 or higher—can help you get the lowest mortgage interest rates. Another reason not to wait: “Historically 7 percent is not that high,” Groves said. In the 1980s, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was in the 17 percent range. In 2000, it was around eight percent. It’s worth noting that while the Federal Reserve Bank hiked some interest rates to 7 percent Wednesday, that bank does not directly control mortgage rates, but how much banks charge each other for short-term loans. Other factors affect mortgage interest rates, including oil prices, inflation and the federal budget deficit, according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. For all these reasons, Yun says mortgage rates will likely remain elevated. “Expect 7 percent as the new normal,” Yun said. Groves’ advice was more succinct. “Don’t panic,” he said. Consider what’s best for you and make your move accordingly. After all, if rates fall significantly in the future, you can always refinance.
