Have you ever been with your child or grandchild and wondered, “How am I going to get through this day since this child is not listening?”
You start to ask yourself, “Is this ‘Opposite Day?’” since when you say ask them to do one thing they do the opposite. When you feel like your child or grandchild is driving you to the brink of insanity, take a breath. This will pass.
Let’s remember that we’re parenting the whole child, a reality that is glaringly obvious, yet so easy to forget. Your job is not to be “perfect,” because those individuals do not exist.
Your job as a parent, grandpar-
ent and/or caregiver is to do the best you can with the tools you have in your back pocket. I believe that no matter what has happened the day before, each day is made new. Think about this for a second: Are you going to be always bringing things up with your partner once the conflict is over? You might, but once it is discussed and resolved it is time to really let it go.
Pay attention to your communication skills within your family. If the child has behaved in a way that has made it hard for you to forgive, make a conscious choice to move on and start each

BACKSTORY Healdsburg discontinued live remote public comment in October 2023 amid a surge of disruptive and hate-filled incidents at public meetings.
— Continued from page 1
“After a thorough and wide-ranging discussion, the council decided unanimously to continue on the current path and not return to online public comment,” said Mayor Chris Herrod.
The decision followed a presentation from Assistant City Manager April Mitts, who outlined the findings of a City Council subcommittee and staff review examining whether the city should resume hybrid public comment for non-agenda items. The subcommittee—composed of Councilmembers Ariel Kelley and Evelyn Mitchell—recommended maintaining the current practice, which allows members of the public to speak in person or submit written comments by email or letter.
“The subcommittee does recommend that we continue with the traditional in-person and written public comment as opposed to shifting over to a hybrid version,” Mitts said.
Healdsburg discontinued live remote public comment in October 2023 amid a surge of disruptive and hate-filled incidents at public meetings across the region, often referred to as “Zoom bombing.” The city’s review was prompted in part by recent amendments to the Brown Act, including Senate Bill 707,
which expanded and clarified public participation requirements for certain legislative bodies.
Mitts explained that while SB 707 broadens access requirements for “eligible legislative bodies,” Healdsburg does not fall into that category due to its size and therefore is not required to provide live remote public comment. As a result, the city retains discretion over whether to offer that option.
The presentation acknowledged potential benefits of remote participation, including increased access for residents unable to attend meetings in person and greater flexibility for council members. However, staff and the subcommittee concluded those benefits were outweighed by practical challenges.
Among the concerns cited were technical reliability issues, increased staffing demands, security risks and difficulties maintaining decorum in a virtual setting. Mitts noted that under SB 707, certain technical failures during a meeting—such as audio or connectivity disruptions—could require halting proceedings altogether.
Security risks were a central focus of the discussion. Staff described the potential for meetings to be disrupted or overtaken through hacking or coordinated interference, with limited ability for city staff to intervene in real time.
Councilmember Kelley said the
option of piloting remote public comment was considered but ultimately rejected because of the resources required. “The amount of energy that would have to go into it wasn’t just flipping a switch,” Kelley said. “We wanted to make a threshold decision.”
Councilmember Mitchell said she initially expected to support remote participation but changed her view as the review progressed. “The barriers just kept piling up,” she said, citing staff workload, security vulnerabilities and reports of disruptive behavior at meetings elsewhere. “It just became really cumbersome.”
City Attorney Samantha Zutler provided legal context, explaining that state law strictly limits when a speaker— whether in person or online—can be cut off during public comment.
“It is still the case that the only time we can remove someone from a council meeting or cut off their microphone is if they are so disruptive that their comments stop the council from doing any business,” Zutler said.
She clarified that offensive language alone does not meet that standard. Profanity, she said, is not sufficient grounds for removal unless it rises to the level of disruption or irrelevance under the Brown Act. In practice, decisions to mute or remove a speaker are made by
SHIFT Understanding which market one’s in is now more important than understanding the market itself, according to local realtor
● Healdsburg’s real estate seeks the ‘Goldilocks’ zone
By David Hargreaves
Those people tracking Healdsburg’s real estate market through simple headlines—median price down 5.5%, inventory up 21%—are missing the real story. What happened in 2025 wasn’t a single market cooling. It was three completely separate markets operating under one name, each following its own rules, its own trajectory, and offering dramatically different experiences for buyers and sellers.
After helping families navigate Wine Country real estate for over a decade, I can say this: 2025 was the year when understanding which market one’s in became more important than understanding the market itself.
The engine room stays hot
The sub-$1 million segment, representing nearly half of all Healdsburg sales, tells a story that contradicts the cooling narrative. Yes, the frenzied bidding wars disappeared. Days on market jumped 41%, from 57 to 80 days. But here’s what matters: This segment still absorbed one
in three available homes each month, maintaining an absorption rate of 32% despite inventory surging 36%.
Think about that paradox. More homes came on the market, yet months of supply actually decreased from 4.7 to 4.0. This is the only segment in Healdsburg where supply months improved, revealing fundamentally strong demand that’s quietly powering the market while everyone focuses on luxury struggles.
Median prices held remarkably firm at $775,000—down just 1.8%. For families priced out during the pandemic boom, this segment offers something increasingly rare: Wine Country living in one of Sonoma County’s most desirable towns without crossing the $1 million threshold. The weekend-offer deadline chaos is over, but so is the waiting game that frustrated buyers for years.
The Goldilocks zone finds its balance If 2025 had a clear winner, it’s the $1 million-to-$2 million segment. This market didn’t just survive—it thrived. Sales volume grew 19%, adding 10 actual transac-
expectations and buyer appetite. The $2 million-to-$3 million range saw identical transaction volume to 2024—14 sales— despite inventory climbing 32%. One home in seven sells each month, with 10.1 months of supply sitting on the market.
The ultra-luxury segment above $3 million experienced the market’s most dramatic correction. Median prices dropped 20% to $4.54 million—a decline exceeding $1.15 million. Price per square foot fell 16%. Yet even with these substantial price reductions, the segment sits on 18.8 months of inventory. That’s nearly two years of supply at current velocity, with just 6.7% of homes selling each month.
Here’s what these numbers mean in practice: Luxury properties moving today are those where sellers accepted new market realities. The emotional attachment to 2023-2024 peak values needs to give way to what buyers will actually pay today. Properties aggressively priced from the start are selling at 91% of asking in 94 days. Those chasing the market downward with multiple reductions are taking months longer while accepting even deeper discounts. What it means going forward
tions to reach 63 closed deals in a year when the overall market grew only 7%. Properties moved in 71 days, the fastest of any price range, while sellers achieved 95% of asking price.
This isn’t luck. This is where Healdsburg’s value proposition shines brightest. It offers authentic Wine Country living with walkable downtown access, properties appealing to both primary residents and second-home buyers, and a price point accessible to successful professionals without requiring ultra-high net worth. New listings declined 11% to just 81 properties, suggesting owners in this sweet spot aren’t feeling pressured to sell. Why would they? They’re holding assets in the market’s most desirable and liquid segment.
For Bay Area clients considering their Wine Country move, this Goldilocks zone offers the best risk-adjusted opportunity: proven resilience, solid liquidity and lifestyle benefits without the luxury market’s uncertainty.
Luxury segments face reality check
While Healdsburg’s mainstream market adapted and performed, luxury segments above $2 million struggled with a fundamental mismatch between owner
The beauty of Healdsburg’s market structure is that 79% of all sales—146 of 185 transactions—happen under $2 million. These segments showed growing or stable transaction volumes, demonstrating that the market’s working parts are fundamentally sound. The challenge is concentrated in the luxury tier, where nearly two years of inventory suggests more price discovery lies ahead unless economic conditions shift dramatically. For buyers, the takeaway is simple: Which market one’s in determines everything. Under $2 million offers stable values and adequate supply. Above $2 million presents opportunity for those who can capitalize on the current supply-demand imbalance.
For sellers, 2025 taught a clear lesson: Realistic pricing from day one beats wishful thinking every time. Homes priced right are selling at 91.8% of original list price, up from 90.1% in 2024. That improved pricing discipline kept days on market flat despite overall market softening—evidence that accepting current conditions leads to better outcomes than fighting them.
Healdsburg’s appeal remains unchanged. What changed is that different price segments now require different strategies, and success in 2026 will belong to those who understand these distinctions rather than waiting for market dynamics to return to some imagined normal.

● ‘Underdogs’ are ready to rumble
By Nolan Brenner
The Healdsburg High varsity boys soccer team is off and running in 2026. As of this writing, it’s 4-6-4 on the year and coming off a tough stretch where it got shut out by Piner and Analy and fought for a tie against Elsie Allen.
I interviewed sophomore Ian Welty, a goalie on the team, who shared his opinion on how the season has been going. Welty said, “[I]t could be better. We had a pretty up and down season this year, starting off with a big win over Cloverdale … but we’ve run into some juggernauts like Windsor and Ukiah. It’s been a good year, but it hasn’t been the best year.”
What has been a factor in the up and down season?
“I think a lot of injuries, and that’s held out some of our really talented players. This has caused us to not have the best available players at some positions,” Welty said. He nevertheless conveyed that they have the talent to swing with anyone. “I truly believe that if we played our best, we could be undefeated right now.”
When asked about a favorite moment from the year, Welty thought their match with Cardinal Newman in December exemplified the potential that the Healdsburg team has. “We won 3-2 against a really, really strong competitive team, with one of the best goalkeepers in the whole state,” he said. “It was just a really exhilarating win. We came back from behind, and it was a great game to win.”
Welty’s interest in soccer is spurred, in
part, by how significant it is throughout the world. He is greatly looking forward to the World Cup this summer where many games will be played in the U.S., including at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. “Soccer is very globally popular. I think as an individual, I would just play with my friends, and I took a really big liking to it. I just started to play and I didn’t stop,” Welty said.
When asked to highlight a particular player who’s played well this year, he lauded a senior, their center back, Xavier Garcia. He is “probably one of the most valuable parts of our defensive team right now,” Welty said. “Despite some injuries he’s gone through, he’s always come back and is really clutch in big moments … . He’s someone who’s really important for our team.”
Welty also shared how the overall morale has been for the team this year. “I think everyone is pretty happy but … we’re
a little bit frustrated about how things have been going. We really want to pick up the pace, get back to work and start winning some more games,” he said.
Garcia, the center back who Welty praised, expressed his thoughts on the team’s experience, saying: “The coaching staff has been amazing this year. They take the time to practice what’s good for us.”
When asked what they could improve upon to progress as a unit, Garcia suggested coming out ready to play and being motivated right out of the gate. “We have to have commitment when we start our game to give it our all,” he said.
As for his knack for being clutch and what mindset he needs to consistently show up for his team, Garcia added, “It’s very hard to be clutch in those moments because you know your team depends on it, and it’s either going to result in a win or loss. In those situations, I use my confidence to get the job done for my team.”
Garcia also indicated that closing teams out was at times difficult for the team. “I think the challenge for our team this year has been finishing, at the end of the game. Just getting the results that we need as a team,” he said.
With rematches against Piner and Elsie Allen coming up, Garcia is forward-looking and optimistic about the rest of the season. “We might be the underdogs,” he said, “but I think we could turn this season around and do something with this season.”

Two men converse while one of them fishes off of a Chesapeake Bay dock. The fisherman regales the stranger with tales of fishing with his son. The stranger seems somewhat confused by the conversation. A woman soon approaches. As they converse, we learn they’re not strangers at all. They’re a family. So begins Bruce Graham’s The Outgoing Tide, now running at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center through Feb. 1.
Gunner Concannon (Steven David Martin) has been enjoying his retirement with Peg (Elizabeth Henry), his wife of 50 years, but all is not well. He’s in the early stages of Alzheimer’s—or dementia, it’s never clearly stated—and becoming increasingly more challenging to live with. Peg, at her wit’s end, has begun exploring “care” options, much to Gunner’s frustration.
Peg has enlisted their son Jack (Jonathan Graham) to help convince Gunner to move into the facility, but Gunner will have none of it. He sees it for what it is—a “damn warehouse with a swimmin’ pool.” Gunner has his own plans for his and his family’s future that involves an insurance policy and a late night solo boat ride on the bay. Will his family agree to it?
Graham’s dramatization is a sort of updated Whose Life is it Anyway? for an aging population. The protagonist in Whose was a young artist whose paralysis causes him to see no future. Tide’s protagonist is an old man who is losing grip on the present and detests what he sees as his future. Both question wheth-
er life is worth living. That question, and the answer Graham seems to provide, may be the source of great debate among its audience.
Lest one thinks the show is nothing but a troubling look at a family in crisis, Graham has injected plenty of humor into his script, dark though it may be. He takes multiple shots at the medical establishment, the Catholic Church and the condition itself.
Director Amy Lovato has a solid cast telling the tale. Martin as the gruff patriarch, Henry as the exhausted matriarch, and Graham—no relation to the playwright—as the browbeaten son with family issues of his own are well-balanced with their characters and each other.
Jennifer and Levi Clark’s uncomplicated but interestingly detailed multi-level scenic design works as the show shifts from indoors to outdoors with minimal disruption. Senya Stein’s lighting design supports the shifts in time, as flashbacks are a major component of this piece.
I hate to use the cliché “thought provoking,” but an examination of the opening night audience as they departed made clear their minds were whirring. The play may have hit a bit close to home.
It’s always great to see a local company put up something other than the triedand-true, especially when it’s well done. The Outgoing Tide may be a tough watch for some, but rewards are to be had for an audience that makes the effort.

Last week was the 46th happening of EcoFarm at Asilomar in Pacific Grove. EcoFarm was originally called “To Husband, The Earth.” Its goal is to encourage development of sustainable, regenerative, organic small farms in local communities in contrast to industrial agriculture.
It started with Amigo Bob, who founded California Certified Organic Farmers, one of the nation’s first organic certification organizations at a time when there were few organic farms. His vision and energy helped him launch California’s first natural foods distribution company, first organic farm supply company and first organic crop consultancy, and the Ecological Farming Conference (EcoFarm) as a founding member.
Small farmers gather at the Asilomar Conference Center for a week to learn how to improve soil and grow and market better food without chemicals. This year over 1,500 people attended; some traveling from Japan and Peru. A significant portion of the conference took place in Spanish. Both Spanish-to-English and English-to-Spanish translation services were offered, as the conference seeks to elevate Latine farm workers to farm own-
ers. Developing regenerative food supply chains in local communities, expanding heritage seed use, teaching better agricultural methods, and changing equity and access in our food supply were key elements at this year’s conference. Between seminars, walks to the ocean reveal peaceful scenes like the one above.
FUN FACTS: Robert Michael Cantisano (1951-2020) received his nickname as a teenager for his friendly, happy manner, which he carried through life. A Jerry Garcia-like figure, his uniform was tie-dye shirts, shorts and sandals. Noted author Michael Pollen said Amigo Bob “held the sum total of organic farming practices.” Those who attend Amigo Bob’s conference shouldn’t miss the live-music barn dance on the last night.
There are approximately 100 species of sandpipers. The ones above are likely pectoral sandpipers which frequent Asilomar Beach. Part of the Charadriiformes order and Scolopacidae family, these birds have long legs and elongated bills for foraging in sand and mud. They are precocial and nidifugous, meaning: relatively mature at birth and able to quickly leave the nest.
The Sandpiper movie featured Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Directed by Vincent Minnelli and released in 1965, it grossed $15 million on a $5 million budget. Filmed in Big Sur, Raquel Welch was a body-double in some beach scenes.

ing, label your emotions and theirs. For example, “I felt very sad for you that you decided to do that,” or “When you ran away from me, I yelled at you because I thought I might lose you.” You can label the child’s emotion, while modeling an empathic response: “You were sad for the child when they didn’t get what you wanted. I know you were sad, since I saw you crying. I am sorry that you felt so sad.” We use the language “I was sad for you” and not “That made me sad when you did this” since we don’t want to give the child the power that they can control your emotions. Once a child feels they have that control over you that is when behaviors will keep happening. You want to be calm and use less words as you move through the situation.
Allow natural consequences
Depending on what has happened, there will be consequences on some level. Some of our best family moves come from allowing natural consequences to do their thing, because this is how our children learn about the world. If you ask your child 10 times to come away from the water’s edge and they don’t listen, they may fall in. If they fall, your child will have to live with the uncomfortable consequences of wet clothes. Next time your child is near water, they’ll have learned to stand back. You can do this in so many different areas in your life. But do keep in mind safety does need to come first.
Don’t bring it up again
If you’re wondering how to make forgiveness part of your family’s culture, we have some tips to strengthen that area of your life.
Deal with it in the moment
When something happens, deal with it then and there. If the child is delayed in empathy development, or has a hard time knowing what others are think-
This is one of the hardest things family members have to deal with when it comes to a child having the same behavior over and over again. As a family you will need to pre-decide that you will not throw past offenses back in the child’s face. It can be so tempting in those moments of frustration, where the child in the family is pushing you to the edge. You want to say, “What about when—” but we challenge you to bite your tongue. If what the child has done is still offending you long after the fact, ask yourself if the event has triggered anything that has more to do with your past rather than the child’s present. In my experience working with children when you keep bringing things up the child starts to think you don’t trust them to
make the right choice. Which can be true, but you need to start somewhere and today is a brand new day. When the child feels you don’t trust them they start to not trust themselves. Here are some tips on language so you don’t bring up the past. Instead of saying, “You need to listen and be respectful,” you can say, “I wonder what good choices you are going to make today? I know you can make the right choice when things come up, or at least try.” Look at the difference in language and this gives the child a feeling of control with their own choices and increases their self-esteem. Everyone wins, and the child is trying.
When you have hit your limit with the child, which we all do, this is one way to go back and model an apology to the person you hurt. Forgiveness isn’t just about you extending a hand to the child. Every family member will make mistakes, and say things which they wish had never come out of their mouth. When you feel as though your actions have crossed the line, model what it looks like to “make it right.” An apology of action is when you do something to apologize, rather than just saying, “Sorry.”
How can you apologize with an action? One way is to ask the child, “How can I make this better after I made a mistake?” Listen to what the child needs. This will bridge the communication with the family and show them everyone makes mistakes and it is how we show up in the family when this happens. When was the last time you told a child in your family you made a mistake?
Every day is a new
If you’re brave enough, make this a family value. It’s obviously easier said than done, but this way of living will promote timely conflict resolution, emotional health and longevity of relationships. Practicing forgiveness within your family will protect the relationship from crumbling over a mountain of cumulated offenses and strengthen your communication. Families are always growing and learning, and it’s great when they communicate in ways that bring them together.
Today is a brand new day.
the subcommittee’s deliberations.
Other council members expressed support for the recommendation, noting that Healdsburg residents continue to have multiple avenues to communicate with elected officials, including written correspondence and direct contact.
Councilmember and former mayor David Hagele offered brief support, thanking the subcommittee and staff for their work and endorsing the recommendation to maintain the current system.
Mayor Herrod said he approached
the issue with an open mind but agreed with the conclusion. “Public input is super important,” he said, while acknowledging the challenges posed by live remote participation. He also emphasized that council members regularly review emails and written submissions, and remain accessible to constituents.
During the meeting, the mayor opened the item for public comment. No members of the public spoke.
With consensus apparent among
council members, the council directed staff to proceed with maintaining the existing public comment structure. Mitts said the subcommittee and staff will continue work on broader updates to the city’s governance protocols and are expected to return to the council with recommendations by March 31.
The decision leaves Healdsburg aligned with most Sonoma County cities, which stream meetings online, but do not allow live remote public comment.
