March Avenue gets overdue repaving job ● $2.9 million project for bumpy road coming in on time, under budget Staff Report The long-awaited repaving of March Avenue, one of Healdsburg’s primary east-west connecting roads, got underway on Monday of this week, Aug. 24.

designed to support arts projects “that will expand public access to the arts, celebrate creativity, and enrich the cultural life of Healdsburg,” according to the commission’s chair, Noah Jepperson. Three projects were chosen instead of one—or many—to benefit from $20,000 in available award funds, dividing the awards three ways. As explained by Arts & Culture Commissioner Gianna Davy, “Rather than dividing the available funding into many smaller grants, the grant review committee chose to award three grants to projects we believed would have the greatest community impact while being free and accessible to everyone.” Messing’s award, for $9,000 to create

the mural, transformed a highly visible location into public artwork that highlights Russian Riverkeeper’s environmental stewardship of the river. The 40-foot-long mural reflects the character, creativity and cultural heritage of the river itself. A second award of $6,500 went to Sonoma Art School, led by Executive Director Kelly Ebeling. The grant will go toward creating an interactive, oversized flip-book sculpture that celebrates children’s literature, reading and creativity. In partnership with the Healdsburg Regional Library, the project will invite children to participate in the creation of an engaging public art experience that combines storytelling and hands-on creativity. “Sonoma Art School is excited to celebrate the visual arts, literacy and children’s imaginations as we explore the creative process through stories that inspire their art,” Ebeling said. “We’re
grateful to the City Council and the Arts and Culture Commission for investing in projects that make art accessible and encourage community participation.” The third grant, for $4,500, went to the youth art campus Heartizens for its planned community Street Puppet Brigade. Heartizens, under the leadership of Executive Director Tess Aston, created the brigade as an interactive public arts project that brings together multiple elements of the community to participate in celebrations like the FFA Twilight Parade. “The Street Puppet Brigade was such a joyful example of what’s possible when a small nonprofit gets the chance to dream big,” Aston said. “Art belongs to all of us, and moments like this remind us why that matters.”
for years. Argonaut Constructors, with its long history of successfully completing similar paving jobs throughout Sonoma County, is the primary contractor on the job. Its work order includes pedestrian upgrades to allow for two new crosswalks across March Avenue, pedestrian-activated flashing beacons to warn and stop traffic, and ADA-compliant bulb-outs and curb modifications. This isn’t the first time the major traffic corridor on March Avenue has
been resurfaced with the inexpensive chip-seal method. However, the multiple treatments suffered from wear and delamination of multiple seal layers. As of February of this year, total construction costs for the project were estimated at $2.967 million. Argonaut’s bid came in at $2.427 million.

Re-Hearing on Beer License is Scheduled The State Board of Equalization has scheduled a re-hearing of the Healds-

The re-hearing follows a favorable recommendation by the referee and indicates that the hearing officer is not going to follow the recommendation. The Lions Club applied early in June for a license for sale of beer in Recreation Park. Opposition to the granting of such a beer license was based on the fact that Recreation Park is near a school, children’s playground and is used for high school athletic contests.

Jane T. Guilfoy September 7, 1955 — August 14, 2026
J
ane Theresa Guilfoy was born September 7, 1955 and passed peacefully August 14, 2026 after a hard fought battle with cancer. She was born in San Francisco to John Aloyisius Guilfoy, Jr. and Mary Louise McGuire Guilfoy. She graduated from Drew College Preparatory High School in 1973. The Guilfoy family owned a cabin along the Russian River in Healdsburg where they enjoyed many summers together. After high school, Jane relocated to Healdsburg where she drove for the local school bus company. She had a great sense of adventure and loved being near the ocean. A few years later, Jane settled in beautiful Big Sur raising her children with her partner Keith Harlan. Eventually, she found herself back in Healdsburg living in a creekside house that would become her forever home. Jane truly was one of a kind. Her sharp wit and her brilliant sense of humor always shined through. She was passionate about music, often playing her piano and records. She loved late 1960’s era music, especially The Grateful Dead and The Rolling Stones. Jane also was an avid reader. At night, she would spend her time with her nose in a good book or curled up on the couch enjoying a scary movie. She loved nature and could often be found strolling the beautiful creek on her property. Jane spent countless

hours caring for her garden which was full of unique art, gorgeous flowers and interesting artifacts. In her final years, she worked at Alexander Valley School and taught many children to play chess. She gave back to her community by volunteering at the Healdsburg Museum. She was serious about her daily crossword puzzles and was a self proclaimed Scrabble queen. Jane is survived by her sons, Conor and Keenan Harlan; sisters, Mary Dekker and Martha Brooks; and brother, Daniel Guilfoy; in addition to nieces, nephews and many lifelong friends. She was preceded in death by her brother, John Guilfoy. Jane would want us to remember her by putting on one of her favorite songs, finding a quiet spot under a tree, raising our glass to the sky and reflecting on a memory we shared with her. Slainte! Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society or a local animal shelter on her behalf.

Greyhounds ready rosters for fall sports ● Girls flag football newest game in town, golfers bumped up
By Caleb Knudsen It seems like a long time since the record-setting 2025-26 sports season at Healdsburg High, and now the wait for this school year’s sports season is over: Secondary school sports get underway this week in Northern California, including in Healdsburg. Some league re-organization has taken place, so we may see new opponents (and miss old ones) as the schedules unfold. The Tribune will cover two of the
HHS teams, football and cheer, in later issues. “We are looking forward to a great year for sports at HHS,” said Brian Osborn, the school’s athletic director, as he introduced the fall sports teams. “We have three full volleyball teams ready to go. Girls golf and the cross country teams looking for a repeat of last year’s amazing seasons. Football is making strides with a full returning staff from last year and a solid number of players this year. Girls tennis is all set up for another solid
season, and our first season of girls flag football begins with a full squad and 17 games on the schedule.” The most newsworthy of those statements is the last. Last year a number of area schools, including Windsor, took part in the girls flag football phenomenon; now it’s Healdsburg’s turn to join in the fun. Coach Camellia Seghetti writes, “The turnout for the team has been really impressive to see. We had about 25 girls try out and we have a team with lots of amazing athletes with different skill sets. High school flag football, especially in Sonoma County, has blown up in the last couple of years and we are beyond excited to be able to throw our hat in the ring.” First game for the new flag football team is at Healdsburg High on Friday, Aug. 28, at 7pm against Lower Lake. Volleyball Three full teams of volleyball players is another notable accomplishment for the school’s program. Jon Nuttall is the program coach, as his enthusiasm for the prospects is catching. “Hugely, there were 25 freshmen in the gym, with plenty of talent to go around,” he said. HHS ended up with 13 players on the varsity roster, 14 on JV and 13 on freshman. “I think this freshmen roster is going
to do great things,” Nutall said. “In fact, they already went undefeated in their season-opening tournament this past Saturday, beating Credo, Rancho Cotate and hosts Analy all in straight sets.” For the varsity team, Nuttall picked notable returners Hannah LevineSmith, Liz Aleman and Stevie Mitchell, “who were all starters last year and will be leading the program this year as our three seniors.” He added, “Ava Wickersham would be my pick for a junior to keep an eye out for.” Healdsburg fell to Cloverdale in the first home match Tuesday, 3-2. Next home game is Sept. 1 vs. Middletown. Girls Golf Last year’s golf program stunned the league with world-class play, especially from then-freshman Brooklyn Viramontes, both an Oregon State and Hawaii State champion. She was not alone in contributing to the team’s two straight undefeated seasons, and this year the team plays in the tougher NBL Oak division, moving up from the Redwood. Also in the division are Cardinal Newman, Windsor, Rancho Cotate and Analy. “The move to the Oak Division is going to be a new challenge for us, but that’s exactly what we want,” said coach Tony

Girls Tennis “We truly are in full swing with practice and challenge matches,” tennis coach Mary Beth Chandler told us. “HHS resurfaced all four courts this summer, and they are spectacularly beautiful and playing oh so much smoother.” The girls teams—the one-two-threefour singles players, and the three doubles teams—are not yet locked in, even with 19 players committed to the team so far, so Chandler invites other local resident players to try out. Sana Katsuki, who played line 4 last season, looks to be moving up to line 1 singles, having spent her off-season competing in USTA junior competitions, training at Wikiup and playing with friends. “All that work is really paying dividends for Sana,” Chandler said. “She is a fearless competitor and importantly our Team Captain this year, setting the bar

for what it means to be a Team Leader.” Returning players also showing singles promise include Chloe Hagerman, Maggie Kosta and Bella Abel. The doubles line-up is coming together, too, Chandler said. “We are sure to see Ivy Stark, Alexandra Jensen, Bryanna Sierra Cortez, Sophia Miranda Martinez, Regina Garibay and Maia Pereira battling for 1-3 doubles.” First girls tennis match is Thursday, Aug. 27,, at Analy. On Friday, Aug. 28, the girls play on the HHS home courts against Ukiah.

Viramontes. “The girls have worked hard to build this program over the last couple of years, and now they get the opportunity to see how we stack up against some of the larger schools and stronger programs in the area.” Viramontes added, “Most importantly, I’m really proud to see the continued growth of girls golf at Healdsburg. Having a record 16 players come out this year, while returning six AllLeague players, says a lot about where the program is headed.”
WATCH OUT ABOVE A mature giraffe towers over visitors in the Dodge Power Wagon on a daytime wildlife tour at Safari West.
On safari in Sonoma ● Local Serengeti just down Mark West Springs Road By Pierre Ratte Do you know what a group of giraffes is called? A tower of giraffes. Perfect, right? All kinds of fun facts about African plains animals and tropical birds can be gleaned from a walk or ride through Safari West’s 400 acres. Safari West’s oak hill woodlands are home to approximately 900 animals and 90 species, including about a dozen giraffes. All of the animals are rescued. None are taken from the wild. Unlike traditional zoos with cages, animals here have clean, large habitats which can be toured in vintage Dodge Power Wagons outfitted with four levels of seating, including a perched roofdeck bench. They are similar to vehicles used in African safaris. Be sure to strap in. The roads are bumpy! The 4x4 Power Wagons crawl up and down slowly offering close yet respectful encounters with the animals while knowledgeable guides offer insights. For instance, giraffes have 25-pound hearts necessary for pumping blood up to the brain, and their blue tongues stretch almost 2 feet to grab leaves high on trees, while the blue color prevents sunburn while they feed. This giraffe walked to within a foot of our safari vehicle, and yes, it towered over us. Safari West welcomes overnight stays in glamping tents imported from Botswana. Guests can hear nighttime and morning sounds of the “wild” echo-
ing off the Mayacamas while gazing up at the stars in dark surroundings. Other tours at the property allow feeding and close interactions with the animals— including the rhinos. Walk through a large aviary called Amani Oasis housing more than 30 species of birds, while a guide points out the scarlet ibises, cranes, pheasants, kookaburras, spoonbills and many more. Peter and Nancy Lang started this unique preserve in 1993. It survived the Tubbs fire in 2017 partly through Peter Lang’s heroic efforts putting out spot fires with garden hoses. Remarkably, no animals died. Safari West transitioned to nonprofit stewardship this year under the Safari West Zoological Society, helping secure its mission of environmental education and care of animals. FUN FACTS: Specialty names for groups of animals include: a pride of lions; a leap of leopards; a coalition of cheetahs; a parade of elephants; a crash of rhinoceros; a dazzle of zebras; an implausibility of gnus; a mob of kangaroos; a gang or obstinacy of Cape buffalo; a flamboyance of flamingos; a convocation of eagles; a parliament of owls; starlings—a chatter, or murmuration when swirling; parrots, a pandamonium; a festival of toucans; an exaltation of larks; a murder of crows; vultures—a wake when feeding, or a kettle when flying in circles; and a shiver of sharks.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle 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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.
