● How much fun can a 53-year-old story be? Lots, if it’s ‘Almost Famous’
By Christian Kallen
The poster seemed to promise that Hollywood would come to town, for one night only, on a tour bus much like that used in the film Almost Famous. It was a benefit for the True West Film Center, presented by an organization called T.O.W.N.—a puzzling anagram for Traveling Off-Season for Wine Night.
If the messaging was a little disconnected, the campaign worked. Hundreds of tickets ranging in price from $75 to $1,500 were sold, seven restaurants each offered their kitchen’s best, seven wineries poured their current releases and the courtyard outside the theater on Friday afternoon was a “scene” in
● Skunk Train won’t give up its railroad status — More on page 6
By Christian Kallen
Even as the Great Redwood Trail Agency (GRTA) board gave final approval to the ambitious 300mile rail-to-trail route across three counties, the project came
face-to-face with an obstacle it was unable to avoid. Not a canyon or a gulf, nor an earthquake or a typhoon, but a little stretch of rail called the Skunk Train.

● City Council faced a full agenda April 20
From the City of Healdsburg
The Healdsburg City Council met this week to discuss matters as diverse as urban planning, youth activities, public safety cameras and the city budget. Following proclamations and reports, the council turned to finances.
Katie Edgar, the city’s finance director, reviewed the results of a community survey on budget priorities. The survey showed mixed results, with wide swings in participants’ preferences for increased or decreased spending in various departments. A key theme was resident’s desire for “more” services and programs.
Edgar also focused on affordable housing, the Community Services Department and street repairs, as a prelude to a special budget meeting on May 11.
In the housing category, Edgar reviewed a base funding level for housing programs of about $1.5 million a year, plus grant funds.
In Community Services, Edgar described a complex department funded primarily by Transient Occupancy Taxes (the hotel tax). Expense categories range from insurance to utilities, from vehicle maintenance to events and recreation programs, from landscape and park maintenance to operating the senior center and other community resources.
Street repairs are a perennial con-

cern in a city that has streets ranging in age from less than a year to more than a century. As is often the case, the need exceeds available funds. Public Works
Director Larry Zimmer told the council his team is evaluating the best use of funds for the next fiscal year. The presentation described a potential for $58.7 million in capital improvement streets projects over the next five years, with $4.5 million allocated for the next fiscal year.
Healdsburg Police Chief Matt Jenkins presented a report on Automated License Plate Reader cameras. The police department began using cameras in 2018 for parking enforcement and added 10 more cameras in 2023.
Jenkins told the council that in a lineby-line review of data access logs, he discovered gaps in the system that allowed out-of-state agencies to perform “lookups” of Healdsburg camera data in 2023. Jenkins contacted the camera supplier (Flock Safety) and those access gaps were eliminated.
To prevent future issues, Jenkins has instituted more audits and controls. He told the council there is no evidence that information was obtained from searches of Healdsburg’s network by unauthorized agencies, including DHS or ICE.

The City Council next meets on May 4, at 6pm, 401 Grove St., healdsburg.gov/zoom.

Bottlebrush (Melaleuca cintrina) is out in full bloom and the little girl in the photo (Apis mellifera) is making her rounds. Look closely. Her wee legs are filled with pollen. Pollen pockets, corbiculae, can carry 30 mg (0.001 oz), approximately 33% of this honeybee’s body weight.
Approximately 20,000 bee species are recognized globally with 4,000 native to North America. Only about 10 species are true honeybees. The other 19,990 are wild and generally solitary. They don’t create honey, store honey or have pollen pockets. They collect pollen on hairy tummy and leg patches called scopae. Living alone in tiny burrows, leaf piles and decaying logs, each female finds or makes her own nest. Despite their lonely work, solitary bees are responsible for 80% of worldwide pollination.
True honeybees, by contrast, live in large colonies with up to 50,000 mates. The forager above will visit about 3,500 flowers during her 21-day foraging duty. Flying and collecting for 8-10 hours per day, she brings in water gathered with her tongue and stored in her stomach, as well as pollen and nectar in her corbiculae.
Over her lifetime she’ll produce about one-12th of a teaspoon of honey (0.8 g) as it takes approximately 2 million flower visits to produce a pound of honey.
FUN FACTS: A summer honeybee lives about six weeks and its career path is set from birth. Born, its first job is “cleaning” (3 days); cleaning its birth and other cells for eggs or storage. Its next job is “nursing” (9 days); feeding larvae, pupae and queen(s) royal jelly from special glands in its head. Then “building” (6 days); making wax by secreting scales from its abdomen which its legs pick off and fashion into cells or hive repairs. Builders can also be “undertakers,” removing dead bees from the hive.
After building, honeybees become “guards” and “fanners” (3 days), similar functions vis-à-vis hive protection: as guards defending the entrance from intruders, and as fanners regulating hive temperatures by evaporating water, releasing heat or creating heat in winter. During this phase, guards and fanners take exploratory flights outside the hive to get a lay of the land.
Lastly, the honeybee graduates to “foraging” (21 days). It’s a most demanding job, leaving the hive to collect pollen, nectar, plant resins and water, and flying about 20-40 miles per day seeking blossoms. Lifespans and job spans, like humans, vary.

Barely a week goes by without a client asking: “What’s the difference between Healdsburg and Sonoma?” The Q1 2026 data reveals two towns moving in opposite directions; here’s what it means for buyers and sellers.
The two regions are different places, with different personalities. Healdsburg is compact, curated and premium by design. Sonoma is a genuine town with genuine range—from the affordable bungalows of Boyes Hot Springs to the retirement communities of Temelec, the sought-after streets east of the Plaza and outward to the east through Lovall Valley, to the west to Glen Ellen and Kenwood into full Wine Country estate territory. Sonoma isn’t one market. It’s six markets under one name. That breadth shows up starkly at the very top end. Sonoma currently has eight active listings above $10 million with two more coming soon. Healdsburg has none. If a buyer wants a significant estate with land and privacy, Sonoma is currently the only market that can even have the conversation.
What Q1 numbers say
A year ago, Healdsburg led Sonoma in
nearly every metric. In Q1 2026 the tables have turned: Sonoma closed 32% more homes year-over-year, averaging 26 sales a month against Healdsburg’s 11. Sonoma’s absorption rate (the percentage of homes that sell in any one month) climbed from 16% to 19%—the first time in our dataset it has led Healdsburg, which fell from 18% to 15%. Sonoma carries nearly double the active inventory: 134 homes versus 68. Pending sales in Sonoma are up 32%; Healdsburg’s are flat.
Healdsburg still commands a significant price premium—a Q1 median of $1.2M against Sonoma’s $835K, roughly 44% higher—but the gap is narrowing. With Healdsburg’s $3M+ luxury segment essentially frozen at just two closings all quarter (down 71% year-over-year), the high-end sales that historically pulled Healdsburg’s averages up simply aren’t happening. Average days on market in Healdsburg climbed from 77 to 110 days; Sonoma went from 73 to 93. Both markets require patience, but Healdsburg sellers need considerably more of it. Where’s the opportunity
In Healdsburg’s $1M–$2M middle market—where most buyers actually trans-
At the top of the Healdsburg market, the $3M+ segment is a standoff. Sellers pulled listings rather than cut price— active inventory dropped from 27 to 22 homes—but buyers who did transact in January extracted heavy discounts, with SP/OLP (Sale Price over Original List Price) running at just 76% before recovering to 91% in March. For patient, well-qualified buyers this is the most favorable luxury entry point the Healdsburg market has offered this cycle. Sonoma’s equivalent tier saw modest improvement, with five closings in the quarter versus three a year earlier, but neither market is hot above $3M.
Below $1M the dynamic flips entirely. Healdsburg’s entry-level tier is small by nature—mostly condos and cottages—and while its 34% absorption rate is healthy, it’s Sonoma’s sub-$1M market that has genuine momentum. A 42% absorption rate, inventory down 21% and sales up 24% adds up to the most competitive segment in either market. Buyers at that price point should come prepared to move quickly.
The bottom line
act—conditions have shifted decisively in buyers’ favor. Days on market nearly doubled to 124, absorption collapsed from 22% to 13% and sellers are closing at roughly 88 cents on their original list price, the weakest reading in over a year. Inventory grew 28% while sales fell 17%. That combination of rising supply and falling demand is exactly the environment where prepared buyers can negotiate effectively. In Sonoma, the same price band absorbed its new inventory cleanly—sales up 40% year-over-year—so the negotiating room that exists in Healdsburg simply isn’t there across the valley.
Both markets reward the same thing right now: precise pricing from sellers and clear-eyed preparation from buyers. Healdsburg remains the more exclusive address, but Sonoma is currently the more liquid, more active and more diverse market across every price point. Which one is right depends entirely on what a buyer is looking for—and that’s a conversation worth having before the spring listing season fully arrives.

more ways than one: Many were there to see and meet Cameron Crowe and Ben Fong-Torres—legendary names in the rock movie canon—as they enjoyed that famous Healdsburg Hospitality, mixed and mingled, and enjoyed the movie Almost Famous for the umpteenth time.
“It is called ‘on tour’ simply because it’s a relation to the movie, which is being screened,” said Art Murray, owner of Flambeaux Winery and one-half of the pair who created T.O.W.N., along with Alexander Harris of The Harris Gallery.
“We just felt like that’s the vibe. So whatever the vibe is, that’s what we call the dinner.” Earlier T.O.W.N. dinners included an “apres ski thing” with manufactured snow called Snowed In, a sushi din-
ner where the food was on paper boats and a Geyserville “Spaghetti Western” event last year.
The movie centers on a 15-year-old rock writer, played in the movie by 16-year-old Patrick Fugit, who is thrown into the whirlwind world of music and romance when a Rolling Stone editor, unaware of his youth, assigns him to go on tour.
That precocious reporter grew up to be Cameron Crowe, who in 2000 wrote and directed the film Almost Famous. That film was made over 25 years after the events it portrayed, so it was a piece of recent nostalgia, a Gen X look back at the Boomers’ finest hour. Crowe’s media career is deeper than this film pic, however—he also wrote and directed Jerry McGuire, and Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise, and is working on a Joni Mitchell biopic.
Bringing Camera Crowe to town was a big coup, but the film’s fans—and there are many—were equally impressed to see
Ben Fong-Torres on the bill. Fong-Torres was the Rolling Stone editor who handed young Crowe the plum assignment of covering the Allman Brothers Band and eventually other bands of the era (from Poco to Led Zeppelin to Fleetwood Mac).
The band the young Crowe character covers in Almost Famous is called Stillwater, and some fans in Healdsburg that night even wore Stillwater t-shirts, as if the group had been real. In the courtyard outside True West Cinema the band Dead for Breakfast played soft-psychedelic hits of the era, and a flamboyantly dressed Robin Parvin channeled a free-spirited dancer with a hula hoop. Guests circulated with appetizers before settling down to dinner, wine and finally the movie itself.
True West Executive Director Kathryn Philip swept through the festivities in a colorful, flowing gown. When asked if the event lived up to her expectations, she wasted no time saying, “We’re going to have more of these. This is what it’s built for. To have fun!”
If the attendees were pre-disposed to like the film, it proved a downhill challenge. The soundtrack alone evokes the era, along with the look and dress. The movie is populated by rising stars and now-familiar ones: it was one of Billy Crudup’s first movies, and he plays the too-good-looking lead guitarist of the group. Frances McDormand plays Fugit’s forceful mother, Zooey Deschanel his sister, Philip Seymour Hoffman the abrasive mentor Lester Bangs and newcomer Jimmy Kimmel is the hotshot young manager the label sent to shepherd Stillwater to success.
Kate Hudson plays the beguiling Penny Lane, the soft and sexy young center of everyone’s attention. The role was originally cast to another actress, but it’s hard to imagine Almost Famous without her. In the post-film Q&A at True West Cinemas Crowe, Fong-Torres and True West archivist John Cooper fielded softballs and reminisced about the days that were, this casting choice and others. Their conversation lasted well past 10pm, making for a solid seven hours of immersion in the good-natured rock era, one that predated even disco and yacht rock. The movie was not a big success upon its release, despite earning several Academy Award nominations and a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Crowe. It has grown more popular over time, and their conversation provided a fresh perspective on a 25-year-old movie that depicts an era roughly 25 years before its story.
And why not? A great cast, a colorful slice of a legendary time, appropriately terrific music and a smart script, written instead of winged. All this while the Healdsburg Museum itself takes a look back to the same decade, the 1970s. As said a couple times in the movie, “It’s all happening.”

The GRTA officially adopted the Master Plan for the 231 miles of trail within Mendocino, Trinity and Humboldt counties. State Sen. Mike McGuire celebrated this milestone for the project he has advocated for since at least 2020, saying it will “help advance generational change in the North Coast, spur economic development, create jobs, and provide the public unparalleled access to some of the most stunning landscapes in the world.”
As the Sonoma-Marin Rail pushes north, the SMART Pathway paralleling the commuter rail’s route is positioned as an extension of the Great Redwood Trail, ultimately to create a 307-mile multiuse path connecting San Francisco and Humboldt bays. Approximately 17 miles of trail are currently open in Humboldt and Mendocino counties with another 40 in active planning or construction. However, the Foss Creek Pathway in Healdsburg is considered part of the network, and when the SMART pathway connects with it the resulting 4.1 miles will be added to the Great Redwood Trail.
Many segments of the trail remain in the planning or proposal stage, and relatively little is currently built. That’s the point of the Master Plan, to define and formalize the project to make it eligible for funding and prioritize development according to its criteria.
The longest current section runs from Eureka to Arcata, but the Master Plan lays out the priorities for the rest to be added, segment by segment. In fact, a 3.3-mile section connecting the north to the south ends of Ukiah will be dedicated this Sunday, April 26.
The adoption of the Master Plan came in the midst of a double-barreled blow to the GRTA when the Skunk Train raised its tail. In January, the train’s Mendocino Railway won the reversal of an earlier court decision, and was allowed to “take” 20 acres in Willits from its owner, John Meyer, under the longstanding “eminent domain” rights of railways to seize private property.
“Railroads have always had in this country an incredibly powerful ability to maintain their lines as well as their rightof-ways and areas around their lines,” said Caryl Hart, a member of the GRTA board and its former chair.
Then in February, just a couple of weeks before the trail’s Master Plan was approved, Mendocino Rail convinced the federal Surface Transportation Board (STB) it was still a viable railway, with both passenger and freight traffic. That had the effect of preventing the Great Redwood Trail from using the railbed from Willits to Cloverdale for its trail network.
“It’s really an uphill battle to try to achieve an adverse abandonment over the objection of the rail line that you’re seeking to adversely abandon,” Hart said. Mendocino Railways claimed the opposite, and with the backing of the SRT, the courts began to agree. Mendocino could claim legal status as a “Class III Common Carrier” freight and passenger rail, and hence could not be seized by GRTA.
The irony, no pun intended, is that claiming ownership of abandoned rail lines across the state has been the modus operandi of the GRTA. Nearly all of the former North Coast Railroad Authority corridor along its route has been legally abandoned by the rail authority, a process called adverse abandonment. As a
result, most of the former interstate rail in Northern California is now owned by GRTA, as approved by the STB.
Though the GRTA argued there had been no dedicated freight rail operations on that line since Georgia-Pacific closed its Fort Bragg lumber mill in 2002, Mendocino Railway won the day before the STB.
The Skunk Train, of all things, is proving to be the spoilsport for the GRT’s dream. “In a perfect world and as was mandated by the legislation, we would’ve moved forward with rail banking,” Hart said. “Now, at least as things exist today, we’re not able to rail bank because we’re not able to remove the rails.”
The long and the short of it is, the GRTA has had to revise its master plan to build a trail parallel to the existing rail between Willits and Cloverdale, rather than taking out the rail and replacing it with trail. Best case: The trail from Cloverdale to Willits will look a lot like the Foss Creek Trail in Healdsburg, with rail running alongside a separate trail.
“The rail is still there. I mean, you can barely see it, but it’s still there. It just runs adjacent,” Hart said. “So that’s pretty much what we will have to be looking at now going forward.”
Hart, herself once chair of the GRTA, said, “I just can’t fathom how anyone would ever be able to find the money to bring back rail. And I also don’t see where the demand would ever come from.”
She continued, “So let’s push that aside and say, ‘OK, is it more expensive to build a trail next to a rail line?’ Yes, it is. It’s more expensive.”

January 1, 1943 – March 3, 2026
Julian Hernandez passed away peacefully on March 30, 2026, at the age of 83. Born January 9, 1943, in Lemoore, California, he was the 11th of 15 children born to Catarino Hernandez and Bernarda Veliz.
After graduating from Riverdale High School, Julian joined the Army and married his high school sweetheart, Sharon Collins, in December 1964. The couple settled in Healdsburg, California, where they raised their children Polly and Mario. Their years living in Healdsburg were defined by great friendships, backyard bbqs, coaching sports teams, and lots of time on the golf course. As many knew, they never missed a chance to welcome others to their home, they kept an open door policy where anyone was welcomed with laughter and love.
Julian worked as a Sawyer at Boise Cascade, later known as RJW, before joining Healdsburg Unified School District, where he became a beloved part of the school community.
Julian was loyal, kind, and generous, he loved gardening, managing the family ranch, golfing, watching sports, and restoring his 1947 Ford pickup. He is remembered as a man who worked hard, cared deeply, and gave everything he had to those around him.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Sharon, with whom he shared 53 years of marriage, and his son-in-law Raymond Cannon. He is survived by his children Polly Cannon and Mario Hernandez (Joy); grandchildren Julian Hernandez (Courtney) and Megan Cannon; and great-grandchildren Cooper and Bodee Hernandez.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, May 2nd at 1:00 p.m. at the Geyserville Oriental Community Hall, 1000 CA-128, Geyserville, CA 95441. In honor of Julian’s favorite color, guests are encouraged to wear navy blue.
