Healdsburg’s badminton team poised for pennant 6
The City of Healdsburg has launched a new program that may be the first of its kind—a resource center on the end of life, with all its physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. Co-founders Taya Levine and Anna Grant sit in the new Compassion Corner, with a quilt made by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, author of ‘On Death and Dying.’
● ‘When the Time Comes’ opens
Over 100 people showed up for an open house at the Healdsburg Senior Center this Mon-
day afternoon. The topic was one close to us all, at one time or another: The end of life, with all its physical, emotional and spiritual aspects.
The pilot program, launched with development funding from the Community Foundation Sonoma County and hosted by the City of Healdsburg, is the first of its kind, according to Senior Center Supervisor Anna Grant.
At the end of 2025, the Healdsburg City Council voted to approve When the Time
Comes (WTTC), a new program designed to help residents navigate end-of-life planning and support. Taya Levine and Grant made the pitch for a resource center offering free resources on handling questions, concerns and complexities related to the final decisions an individual or a family must make.
“When the Time Comes helps people face death with clarity, plan with care and be supported by others—reclaiming death as a

Matt Jenkins returned to the City Council last week to clarify his March presentation on the use of surveillance cameras, or “public safety camera systems” in Healdsburg. Jenkins acknowledged in March that “there are some community concerns that were surfacing” regarding recent news reports of cities and other jurisdictions having their data harvested by immigration control or other federal agencies.
Some have begun calling such comprehensive traffic data collection technology a “surveillance network” whose potential for abuse is significant. In February a class-action suit was filed in California by the Oakland-based firm, Gibbs Mura. It alleges Flock Safety violates California laws and privacy
rights by sharing data on California drivers with law enforcement agencies outside the state, including federal agencies.
The lawsuit was widely reported, and other lawsuits and reports surfaced. Flock Safety of Atlanta, Georgia, was by far the most prevalent such data-collection company. Its nationwide network of nearly 100,000 Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras is found in some 6,000 communities and their law enforcement agencies—including the Healdsburg Police Department.
The local Flock system is connected to a regional information network, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), which compares license plate and other vehicle information to see if it produces a “hit”

with the wider law enforcement database, as well as to alerts pushed out by neighboring agencies.
Jenkins listed several reasons a license plate would be used in law enforcement, including a vehicle being reported as a stolen car, associated with a wanted or missing person, related to a domestic violation protective order or even to “terrorist-related activity,” which remained undefined.
Follow-up
The chief returned on April 20 to report on what he discovered when he took a long, hard look at the Healdsburg’s Flock cameras and system, a line-by-line audit of the system’s record.
At present the city has 11 fixed ALPR cameras, with a 90-day retention storage. The system detects 135,000 vehicles per month and has been searched an average of 74 times per month. It costs $33,000 per year to maintain. Ten PTZ (pan-tiltzoom) public safety cameras have only a 30 day-retention schedule and cost $45,000 a year to operate.
The ALPR cameras can recognize a license plate and the type of vehicle from its “fingerprint,” Jenkins said. They do not have facial-recognition technology, and while they can ID a vehicle’s license plate they can only tell whether “it’s a coupe or a truck, if it has a bumper sticker or a lumber rack.”
been installed along Foss Creek Pathway, as that had been perceived as the scene of potential if not actual criminal assault.
Chief Jenkins reminded the council that larceny and theft, historically the highest victimization crimes for Healdsburg, have been in decline over the last two years. He didn’t overtly say the impact of the Flock network was a cause, though he cited crimes that a Flock report can be useful if not essential in detecting or preventing: burglary, illegal firearms recovery, stolen vehicle recovery and fraud investigations.
However Jenkins’s review of the Flock relationship was not all good news. He discovered that in one 40-minute window on Jan 11, 2023, 63 inquiries from 28 agencies were logged. An “inquiry” is a hit on the system to see if Healdsburg has records of a particular individual or license plate.
It didn’t take much investigation to find that this date was a “setup day” for “on-boarding” the system. During that 40 minutes a checkbox had been toggled that allowed unlimited outside searches.
“It was an inadvertent check,” said Chief Jenkins. “It shouldn’t have happened. I’ll take full responsibility for that.” He said it was corrected by the end of that day’s setup process, but it did call attention to a hole in the system’s installation process that allowed such a transgression to take place.
ally fixed by Flock, with Jenkins calling it “a system architecture failure on the programming side.”
In other words, the product Flock delivered was not wholly free of the kind of bugs that, for a short time at least, compromised Healdsburg’s data collection. As a result in part of Healdsburg’s experience, said Jenkins, “The vendor has taken proactive measures to make sure it doesn’t happen in the future. That checkbox is no longer able to be accessed by users.”
The results of Jenkin’s investigation only serves to underscore the legal cases being brought against Flock by other jurisdictions, as the hack-proof system they promised was subject to “system architecture failure” from the beginning.
Adding another level of concern is that Flock’s terms of service were changed at the beginning of 2026, a series of changes that the ACLU called significant. Among them: the sale of data from customer feeds.
However the City of Healdsburg is operating under previous terms of service, and they will stand until the contract is renewed.
“If the City moves forward with potential renewals, the contracts would come back before the City Council for approval after they have been reviewed by staff and the City Attorney’s office,” Chief Jenkins said.

75 years ago – April 26, 1951 Snack Barrels for 1st Battalion Will Be Set Up
Mrs. Arline Weyand, chairman of the First Battalion Committee, announced this week that plans have been made to set up barrels in grocery stores throughout the city where food stuffs can be left to send to the men of the adopted battalion. The snack drive will start tomorrow and will continue for a week. Such items as canned meats, wafers, packaged cheese, salami, relishes, cookies and candy are being sought. However, nothing in glass should be given. In addition, a container will be placed in the lobby of the Aven for candy bars. Mrs. Weyand also reported that the men of the adopted battalion can use more magazines as the strength of the battalion is now almost one thousand men. Wrapping of the bundles to be shipped overseas will be done Thursday night, May 5, and volunteers are welcome.
50 years ago – April 29, 1976
Demolition activities are near completion this week on an old prune packing plant at Fitch and Harmon Streets. The plant dates back close to a hundred years. The Redwood Engineering and Supply Company of Novato purchased the old structure and hopes to erect a new restaurant and shopping center.

Beginning with next Sunday the Railroad Company will run an extra train to San Francisco during the summer season. The rate will be one fare for the round trip between any two points on the line. The train will leave Healdsburg at 7:30 a. m. and arrive in San Francisco at 10:40. Returning the boat will leave San Francisco at 5 p. m., and the train will arrive in Healdsburg at 8:10. This will give visitors six hours in the city, which will afford ample time to enjoy the concert at Golden Gate Park or visit the Cliff House and
A hearing will be held by the city Planning Commission May 11 at 8 p.m. on the firm’s rezoning request which, if approved, will necessitate amending the city’s General Plan. The commission will also consider putting other nearby lots in commercial service. Parents are warned to keep their children away from the site as portions of the shaky old building remain and could be extremely dangerous to unwary explorers.
Fruit shipments from the plant following World War I played an important role in government relief efforts to Europe. Later the building was purchased by Del Monte for use as a storage facility. For the past 20 years it has remained vacant and was nearly gutted by a fire two years ago. Demolition crews noted that the second story floor was four layers thick, and that the original poured concrete is extremely flakey. Timbers from the building are expected to be used in the new restaurant and boutique shops. Bricks from its face may also be used for decoration.

CALLING ALL GARDENERS The rose is one of the most popular garden flowers in the world, one reason being its flexibility in hybridization. This local garden bloom is probably of the ‘hybrid tea’ variety—widely available, vibrant and fragrant.
By Pierre Ratte
A rose by any other name is still a rose. Shakespeare got it right! From her balcony, young Juliet laments her sweetheart’s name is Montague, an enemy. And yet at a tender age, she recognizes, “’Tis but thy name that is my enemy … What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Wouldst Juliet’s wisdom leap into our dangerous political rhetoric.
FUN FACTS: Juliet was 13 when she spoke from her balcony. “Wherefore art thou Romeo?” does not ask where Romeo is, but why is he a Montague. In the written play, Juliet is at a window; later theater productions create the famous balcony scene. Juliet proposes to Romeo, not the other way around! Juliet is amongst literature’s strongest female characters—a wealthy heir to a powerful family, independent of mind, fiercely loyal to her heart and truth.
Shakespeare was about 30 years old in mid-career when he wrote Romeo and Juliet, reportedly, in 1594. He was co-owner of the performing company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, and co-owner of the Globe Theater. The original Globe Theater held 3,000 people. Two-thirds stood

As the busiest real estate time of year approaches in April, this is the perfect time for anyone thinking about buying or selling to start looking for an agent.
If you’re buying, an agent is invaluable to guide you through the fiercely competitive Bay Area market. If you’re selling, a good agent can help you get top price. With a little online research, a few referrals, and three or four interviews, you’ll be well on your way.
First, “You want to get a referral from a friend or relative who has bought or sold a home relatively recently in your area,” said Kate Wood, home expert for personal finance website NerdWallet.
home you want to buy or sell and the price they fetched.
To learn more, visit the agent’s website, where you can also learn what kind of houses they work with and the price range of homes they handle.
If you’re a seller, Wood said, “Ask the listing agent how they would go about marketing your home. There are a lot more technological bells and whistles than there used to be—video tours, 3-D tours. Also, you want them to have a relationship with a professional photographer.”
Around 43 percent of buyers start by looking online for properties, according to the National Association of Realtors. Nearly 97 percent use the Internet in some capacity, with over half finding the home they actually buy online.
in the central yard; “groundlings” paid one half to 1 penny, approximately $7.50$15.00 in today’s currency.
Seating in the round rose vertically three stories and accommodated 1,000 people on benches covered with a roof. Lower bench seats near the open-air pit of groundlings and stage cost about $30 in today’s currency; upper benches with cushions protected from rain cost $90; upper suites called “Lord’s Rooms” were more.
Performances occurred 40-50 weeks a year, 5-6 days per week, lasting about 2-3 hours each. Shakespeare was paid for writing and acting. He also received a 12.5% owner’s share of the Globe’s profits. He retired a rich man around the age of 48, likely after the theater burned down without property insurance; London fire insurance began in 1666. Shakespeare died April 23, 1616, at 52.
Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare by Stephen Greenblatt (2004) is a page-turning book with impeccable research that puts to rest many questions about Shakespeare’s life and career.
Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 movie cast teenage actors Olivia Hussey, 15, and Leonard Whiting, 17, in a risqué adaptation which cost $850k and grossed $39 million, 46 times the cost. A more modern 1996 film version starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes cost $14.5 million and grossed $147 million, 10 times the cost.
Of course, that isn’t always an option, and you can also search for “real estate agent” with the name of your city and neighborhood, Wood said. Check the Yelp reviews of the agents you find.
It’s important to work with someone familiar with the area so they will know any city requirements.
“I’ve had transactions held up when they were just about to close because the agent didn’t know a city had a specific requirement for a health and safety report,” said longtime Bay Area mortgage broker Nicole Donn.
Also, familiarity with the area means they’ll be on top of the all-important “comps”—listings comparable to the
Ask the seller’s agent for the average variation between the initial listing price for the homes they sell and the final sales price. That difference can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Make sure this is a person who is able to give you references and client success stories and is comfortable working with you in your preferred mode of communication,” whether text, phone, email or in person, Wood said. “Definitely interview them first.
“You may have seen a listing online and want to jump on it, or you may be in a hurry to sell your house. But if you are serious about buying or selling your house, you want to talk to multiple agents.”
What’s important, Wood said, is chemistry. “It’s a feeling you get from that person.”
In Sonoma County, the median home is worth about $896,833, according to the Zillow Home Value Index.
In February 2026, Sonoma home prices were down 26.1 percent compared to last year, selling for a median price of $1.3M, according to data from Redfin. On average, homes in Sonoma sell after 150 days on the market, compared to 91 days last year. There were 10 homes sold in February this year, up from 6 last year.

● First-ever NBL badminton pennant to hang at gym
By Stan Bischof
Even though badminton is a relatively new sport for Healdsburg High, the team is poised to bring home its first pennant when it wins its North Bay League Redwood Division title. Last week the Healdsburg High badminton team cemented an unassailable lead in the league, with wins against rivals Windsor and Roseland University Prep. With only one game left to play, Thursday against Elsie Allen, the pennant is guaranteed. Badminton at HHS only began in 2017. Coaches Ever Flores and Vincenta Vega
did an excellent job of recruiting a team and getting them started. After a couple of years I was asked to replace them, and I agreed largely due to the obvious enthusiasm of the players.
Going in I was quite up-front about expectations, in particular that it would take maybe five years to build a strong team. As a coach my focus has been on the fundamentals, such as footwork, that are critical to good badminton. Any of the players will know what my reminders of “right foot!” mean, and they are learning when to “swing!” and when to “push!” Yet as I tell them, playing well
comes first—winning is secondary.
This year, due to their hard work, we have a championship team and are bringing home Healdsburg badminton’s first league pennant. Not only that but given the excellent recruiting led by senior team member Edgar Navarro, we have the beginning of a true badminton program and not just a team.
The ideal size for a badminton program in our league is about three dozen players. Our varsity squad requires about a dozen team members and those tend to be third- and fourth-year players. Similarly our JV needs another dozen, and after that we need a group of developing players to move up as their skills improve.
In the past we have had small teams
that have been very individually strong but we have not had the incoming talent to replace them as they graduated. This year we have had only six returning players but a very healthy 29 new freshmen and sophomores.
Our team has been well led by seniors Caitlyn Parker, undefeated for two years in singles; Alex Francis, strong in both singles and doubles; Edgar Navarro, a very smart tactical player; and Alexa Cervantes, doubles specialist. Next year we will have just one experienced player, fourth-year Bryanna Cortez Sierra, to anchor the team. But we also have some very promising new players such as freshmen Carrie Osborne, Luis Lopez and Alexandra Jensen, who have shown themselves quite capable of varsity play. Now that we have sufficient incoming talent to create future strong teams I can truly say we have transitioned from a team to a program.
I am really looking forward to watching these players improve in the coming years. Special thanks this year to my assistant, Kai Lau, who has helped immensely running our matches and keeping us organized.

deeply human experience,” said Levine, the program’s co-founder and compassion coordinator.
The program launched with Monday’s open house, and its services are set to begin in May, this week. Those services include several “insight gatherings,” with conversation topics over the course of the month. “Death Curious” is held on second Mondays, “Dying to Talk About It” on third Thursdays.
Introducing WTTC was a panel that Grant referred to as “our caring compass”—county residents who have been active in senior health and compassion
issues for years. As well as Grant and Levine, it included Dr. Gary Johnson, a retired hospice physician; Redwing Keyssar, a registered nurse and palliative care educator; Jeff McGee, a critical incident specialist LMFT employed by the Healdsburg Police Department; Willow Taraja, an end-of-life doula; and Rev. Sally Hubbell, pastor at St. Paul’s Church.
“These are the OGs, like the GOATS of the business, and they live here in Sonoma County,” Grant said.
Attendees also took part in a “dot voting” exercise, placing round stickers on posters that listed potential program topics to show their interest. These ranged from how to get wills, trusts and accounts in order; to how to navigate the medical system; and perspectives on grief and loss.
A sign-up sheet was made available to attendees who wanted to volunteer and share their own experiences and knowledge.
Levine, Grant and a coterie of volunteers will be available to offer resources, answer questions or just talk about the one aspect of life that no one can skip over. The goal is peace of mind, now and when the time comes.
Also inaugurated was the Compassion Corner, a small, warm space where a lending library and other materials are available. It can also serve as a place to meet and talk at any time. Levine will have regular hours, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1-4pm, and others may follow.
The attendance on Monday shows that interest is strong, and WTTC seems successful from the outset. Perhaps that’s because Healdsburg is an ideal place for this resource center—it has the second-oldest population in the county, behind Sebastopol, and Sonoma is the second-oldest county in the state.
Said Grant, “You know the Baby Boomers are all aging in, one in 10,000 people every day through the year 2030. We need to be prepared and have services and systems in place to assist our aging population. That doesn’t just mean that you have a hospital and a clinic or that you offer pickleball instead of tennis.”
Levine, too, shared her thoughts on When the Time Comes: “We want to be here when you need us; people are available to help, to talk and share. We want you to be able to make decisions for yourself, before someone else has to make them for you.”
If the program seems unique for a

city government to undertake, it sort of is. “As far as we know, we are the first that has undertaken this under the wing of a municipality, not just outsourcing it,” Grant said.
He added, “Everyone that I’ve talked to about it, whether in professional parks-and-recreation departments or casual friends, they all say, ‘Oh my God, I want this in my city.’”
