Mayor’s first message to Healdsburg ● Chris Herrod welcomes public input, communication in 2026 By Chris Herrod As Healdsburg’s mayor for 2026, it’s my honor to wish everyone in town a safe, happy and peaceful New Year. Being Healdsburg’s mayor (who the council selects each December) doesn’t carry any additional political power. I get the same single vote
on each public decision as my colleagues. Aside from presiding over meetings, the mayor’s primary responsibility is to serve as a spokesperson. That may mean the occasional press encounter, ribbon-cutting or speech delivered to local groups, but for me it also — More on page 3
A New Year of weather arrives ● Storms from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day Photo by Rick Tang
Family fun in the rain Patrick Fenton and his two kids thought a walk in the rain sounded like a cool idea, so he, Theo and “Miss Zoe” went for it on Monday afternoon, taking the Foss Creek Trail from the Carson Warner Memorial Skatepark. They were lucky they found a break at the tail end of the three-day storm that brought over 5 inches to town. See more Storm photos on page 6.
Staff Report Since the winter solstice, rain and windstorms have swept across Sonoma County and taken their toll, felling a number of branches and even trees that have kept the city’s Public Works
Department—and its homeowners—busy and then some. An oak tree on Dec. 24 lost a limb that crashed into the city’s Holiday Tree (though it was repaired before the day ended). — More on page 6

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Commission Meetings City business is on the agenda twice this week, on Tuesday Jan. 13 when the Planning Commission meets, and on Wednesday Jan. 14 when Parks and Recreation is called to order. Both start at 6pm, 401 Grove St., online at Healdsburg.gov/zoom.
City Council First City Council meeting of 2026 is Tuesday Jan. 20, following the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday. With Mayor Chris Herrod presiding, meeting starts at 6pm at 401 Grove St., live stream at facebook.com/cityofhealdsburg.
Tribune readers have advice and opinions It is hard to believe that we started our OB-GYN practice in Healdsburg 34 years ago! So many great memories and touching moments—from all of the babies we’ve helped bring into the world to all of the patients we’ve cared for—and we have treasured this opportunity. Medicine in Sonoma County has changed in so many ways over these years, but it is still an amazingly rewarding calling and so fulfilling to care for patients and their families. We thank you for entrusting us with your care. But it’s come time to hang up our stethoscopes. We will be retiring our office after Jan. 16, 2026.

means a broader platform for communicating with you about your concerns. Feel free to send an email to cherrod@ healdsburg.gov, or ask for a callback or a meet-up. My door is open! Foremost on many people’s minds is Healdsburg’s transition to district elections. Our new districts are going to take some getting used to for all of us. The City is committed to demystifying what’s new, especially as we move into elections next fall. This outreach is a golden opportunity for community members and public servants to get to know each other better. Two very impactful events will come before the council this spring. The first is our yearly goal-setting session. This is where the council discusses its priorities for the coming fiscal year. If you have a particular issue you would like to see addressed by the council, it could become part of our goals. Right afterward, we jump into our biennial budget process. As in years past, we are committed to a balanced budget, which means that all those great ideas that come up at goal setting need to find
a funding source. Your values play an important role in these pivotal decisions. Planning for the area around the new SMART train station (planned for near Hudson Street) and south of Memorial Bridge will begin this year. There are many options to consider, and we need to hear from you about how you envision Healdsburg’s future. The budget process will be framed by rising costs and flat revenues. I predict that the council will likely focus on shepherding projects we have already started and funded (including several affordable housing projects), increasing water resilience, and several major street projects featuring enhanced bike and pedestrian safety. Goodbye, March Avenue potholes! Fortunately, our City finances are in good shape. We can be proud of our conscientious and hard-working City staff, our inventive business community and our powerhouse nonprofits. We are in a great position to face challenges and enhance this beautifully diverse, generous, supportive and creative city. Let’s work together to make things happen! Mayor Chris Herrod’s one-year term began with his election at the Dec. 15 City Council meeting. The next City Council meeting is Tuesday, Jan. 20.

We are so happy we’ve had the opportunity to be a part of this community, and plan to continue to remain here and support Healdsburg. It’s been really touching letting patients know, and getting their reactions and good wishes. We are happy to know that there are great choices of OB/GYN’s available and accepting new patients. We did send patients a letter with some suggestions, but patients can also call the Sonoma Mendo Lake Medical Association (previously Sonoma County Medical Association). Their number is: (707) 525-4275.

History is community Thanks for the good feature about the History Talks last week (“History comes alive for Healdsburg,” Jan. 1). Our first winter talk last night at the library was a big success. We had 82 people, SRO again. About half the crowd were our regulars and half were newcomers.
Rags to Riches A UNIQUE ANTIQUE BOUTIQUE
Featuring
Your article, the library’s publicity efforts and continued messaging from the Museum all helped get the word out. One thing I noticed … at the end of the talks more than half the audience stuck around and chatted for 20 minutes (even though it was dinner time.) I really think this whole program is a lot about a sense of community. Joanne Taueffer Healdsburg

POSADA Stephanie Jordan, the Teen Services librarian in Healdsburg, preps young arrivals for the Posada event about to get underway on Dec. 13, 2025.
Library ‘recalibration’ as year begins ● County Library Strategic Plan up for 5-year review By Jon Haupt An overdue Happy New Year from the Healdsburg Library staff. We’re returning to most of our usual library events for all ages–Homework Help began Jan. 6, the bilingual Intercambio gab sessions restarted Jan. 8 and Read to a Dog is back on Saturdays from 11am to noon. Every year we like to have some kind of fun, free event to offer for our local families in between school sessions that is sure to be well-attended. This year our Posada event last month as well as the Mike the Magician family event were hol-
iday highlights. The Posada, on Saturday Dec. 13, was a lot of fun with a tamale lunch and face painting, a piñata, crafts and Son Chévere performing. Just before New Year’s Mike the Magician performed a winter magic show on Dec. 29. We’d like the community’s help this month with a little survey. Like many organizations, the Sonoma County Library recalibrates its strategic plan every few years. Sometimes it seems like we are always working on a new plan, but it really is only approximately every five years. As you may have heard already, a new Library
Strategic Plan is currently in the works. In our case, the strategic plan is important, because we make big decisions about our direction and what is important in our community based on what we learn from our community conversations. The plan informs our decision-making process for what programs or outreach we offer, which are attended by hundreds of people every week. We are currently in an information-gathering phase. In addition to interviews with some local officials and organizations, we are looking for feedback from anyone in the community. We always love to hear from those who use the library day-to-day, but we’re also very interested
in hearing from community members who never use the library. Perhaps we are missing an important angle of what is important in our community, so we would like to hear from everyone. To that end, we have an ongoing drive to encourage our community members to fill out our survey, located online at sonomalibrary.org/plan. The survey is available in English and Spanish, and only takes a few minutes to fill out. People can also come to any branch of the library to pick up and return a paper copy, or fill it out there. It only takes 5-10 minutes to fill out, and gives anyone a chance to make their preferences known. The survey will be open until Sunday, Jan. 18. It often seems like we have so many programs and services that naming and describing them all is itself an impossible feat. It’s not impossible, of course, but often the time frame we are working with doesn’t allow for a lot of description. One of the services that people may have seen in the library but not known much about is our 3D Printer. We have had a 3D Printer for over 10 years— in fact, the current model is our fourth in the time frame. There are several around our library system, and we have a way for you to learn about and print a 3D object for free at the library. Those who would like to just look at the printer can see it in action next to our front desk on a black cart. Prints often take several hours to complete, so people can check back and see how something is going as the day progresses. Those who would like us to try printing something for themselves can fill out a request form located online at sonomalibrary.org/3dprinting/. Note we ask that you already have a file figured out that you would like us to use; they can often be found on websites devoted to free 3D objects such as Thingiverse or Printables. Our website will also lead you to design tools if you would like to try your hand at creating a 3D object of your own. The service provides community members with a way to play with an emerging technology and sometimes even solve a practical problem. We print objects as diverse as small trinkets like colorful animals or keychains, puzzles, boxes or helpful tools such as auto wrenches or window blind cordpulls. We have some practical boundaries, such as that the object needs to be printable during a short time frame, which makes large-scale projects mostly out of the question. Given the large number of requests we receive, it’s best for us to focus on small-scale designs. Those who’d like to hear more can come by the library and ask for more information. We hope you’ll give it a try this year. Jon Haupt is the manager of Healdsburg Regional Library, 139 Piper St., open daily.

GOAL KICK Healdsburg’s freshman goalkeeper, Rafael Salas, kicks the ball back into play following a save against Rancho Cotate in November.
Greyhounds hit their stride in 2026 ● Boys, girls teams both turn attention to Redwood rivals By Caleb Knudsen December is a strange month in prep sports—both girls and boys teams are playing basketball and soccer games, but a two-week holiday break kicks in before the conference matches begin. That changes this week, as the local teams meet their Redwood rivals in games starting at home and on the road. The highlight is the girls soccer team, which remains unbeaten with a 5-0 record as of Jan. 6. That is at risk on Wednesday this week as St. Helena comes to town. On
paper their 2-4-1 record doesn’t indicate a challenge, but games are played on grass— and wet grass at that—so the results won’t be known until after press time. Boys soccer has had a tougher go of it, now with a 2-3-3 record. Home games are played at 7pm on Tuesday and Friday this week, against Ukiah and Cloverdale. League favorite Analy is currently 10-01; Healdsburg’s first match with them is still weeks away, on Jan. 22 in Sebastopol. In basketball the boys broke a six-game losing streak on Saturday, Jan. 3, defeating Cloverdale 63-57 in an exciting game
on the Eagles’ court. Sophomore Teague Jasper has been the top point-getter for the Hounds, though the reappearance of junior Frank Rea on the court has brought another threat to the game. He suffered an MCL injury in October playing football and has been rehabilitating since. In the Cloverdale game last weekend, Jasper led team scoring with 20 points and five rebounds, while Rea turned in 12 points with six rebounds, his dynamic athleticism seemingly unaffected by the layoff. Junior Ethan Overdorf was a big contributor as well, with 11 points
and another five rebounds. Healdsburg is now 6-9. Redwood league play for the Hounds begins this week with road games against Ukiah (9-6) on Wednesday and St. Vincent (4-4) on Friday. The next home game is a non-league match on Saturday (5:30pm) against Clear Lake. The first Redwood game at home is on Jan. 14 (7:30pm) against Rancho Cotate (8-4 to date). Girls basketball has recently been a strong sport for Healdsburg in the North Bay-Redwood conference and, like the boys team, the girls hit a rough patch in December with a five-game losing streak. That ended on Dec. 30 with a win over Analy, 40-31, followed on Jan. 3, 2026, with a victory over Fort Bragg. While they were 6-9 leading up to this week’s games, the NBL-Redwood games didn’t begin until Tuesday night with a game against Elsie Allen (5-7) in Santa Rosa. That proved to be a third win in a row, a 48-14 walkover against the Lobos. A home game against Ukiah is coming up Thursday at 7:30pm at Smith Robinson Gym.

The entire tree itself was removed a couple of days later, in a public display of arboreal maintenance that became a spectacle in the Plaza. That same morning two trees on Lincoln Street fell on two cars on University Street, creating a Rorschach of branches and fiberglass, soon wrapped by a road crew’s yellow ribbon. A week later the wind picked up early on New Year’s Day, taking down a stately (if leaning) Norway spruce at the corner of Manor Court. Then Monday, Jan. 5, dawned with a drenching rain. At about 12:33pm, the National Weather Service issued a flood warning for much of western Sonoma County, including Healdsburg, Windsor and west to the coast, and a simultaneous flood warning for northern Marin County as well. The affected area was described as “west of a line from Cotati to Healdsburg in the Sonoma coastal range.” According to the warning, “Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated heavy rain. Minor flooding is already occurring in the advisory area.” In total, over 5 inches of rain fell in Healdsburg during the series of storms, which brought increased water to Lake Sonoma Reservoir but caused localized flooding—including in Healdsburg, where Foss Creek overflowed onto Grove
Street at North Street, inundating the intersection where City Hall is situated. Foss Creek seems to be the most risky waterway in town, regularly flooding the Grove Street area and farther north near the community center. Despite at least two retention basins from Parkland Farms and at Grove Street, downstream flooding is a recurring headache for City Hall staff. “We’re looking at flood monitoring,” said City Manager Jeff Kay, who spent much of Monday shuffling employees and vehicles out of the flooding city offices at 401 Grove St. “We applied for a grant to get some money for better flood monitoring technology. The idea would be to check water levels and other remote digital information that could put us in a much better position to be able to anticipate and respond to storm levels.” Such a program could cost about $100,000, a relatively small amount in the city budget. While in rare cases the Russian River has overflowed its banks near the Healdsburg Memorial Bridge, the current storm did not raise river levels to a flood stage of 20 feet, falling about three feet short just before sunrise Tuesday. The Healdsburg Museum has a news archive, where a search using the term “flood” turned up over 230 results that included photos. The years 1937, 1940, 1957 and 1964 occur frequently, along with more recent years. Who can forget 2014—when the Safeway parking lot flooded so deeply that people went shopping in their kayaks? In other words, this is almost “winter as usual” in Healdsburg.

DON’T DROWN A good example of what not to do: Don’t drive into a flooded street and hope for the best.
WHITEWATER The footbridge over Foss Creek near the Carson Warner Memorial Skatepark spans the stormy currents on Jan. 5, 2026.
A dramatic sunset closing out 2025 seems appropriate for a year full of world-changing events: Trump returning to the White House; an American becoming pope; longstanding conflicts (read: wars) in Gaza and Ukraine broaching peace outlines but still fighting; conflicts resolved and others started; the president engaging the world in tariff tit-for-tats; the Louvre robbed; non-convertible currency surging past $126,000 per unit; a young man assassinated on-campus while live streaming; P Diddy sentenced to jail; Sanae Takaichi becoming Japan’s first female prime minister; and transparency into U.S. public records for better or worse. What a year! From all appearances, 2026’s lead-in suggests buckling up. As relief from the week that was, this “Snapshot” column—now 5 years old— was created during Covid to counterbalance news of the day. Finding serendipitous pictures and observations in random walks around Healdsburg and Sonoma County and noticing things unnoticed and bringing them to you, dear reader, is a pleasure. We hope you enjoy these interludes and splashes of color. May you
encounter refreshing surprises reading The Tribune. Best wishes for 2026! Fun facts: Once upon a time in TV land, there was a show called The Week That Was. The show, begun in Britain, was recreated for American audiences, poking fun at political events. Though it ran only one year in Britain and one year in the U.S.—1962-1963 and 1964-1965, respectively—it pierced the political landscape with humor. It introduced U.S. audiences to host David Frost, who ended with satirical bits: “But seriously folks, he’s doing a grand job.” Writers for the show in Britain included Monty Python stalwarts John Cleese and Graham Chapman. The American version featured Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Alan Alda, Buck Henry and Gloria Steinem. The exit line for the show was: “That was The Week That Was.” Tom Lehrer recorded songs from the show at San Francisco’s Hungry I on an album, That Was The Year That Was. Released in 1965, it peaked on Billboard’s Top Album charts at No. 18 and remained on the charts for 51 weeks, one week short of a year. In 2020, Lehrer put all his song rights into the public domain. He passed away last July, at the age of 97.

Officers went to the Montage to view surveillance tape and speak with staff for informational purposes. 2:10pm The RP on Solar Way indicated he was sexually assaulted when he was 12 years old. Officers conducted an interview and took a report. 10:34pm The RP reported a reckless driver on March Avenue at Creekside Court. The reckless driver drove 65 to 70 miles per hour, revved the vehicle’s engine and caused car alarms to go off. An officer responded, but the vehicle was gone on arrival and unable to be located. Subsequently, the RP called back and said the reckless driving occurred again. The RP requested an officer to wait on University Street at March Avenue. An officer again responded but was unable to locate the vehicle.

11:29pm Officers heard a verbal disturbance on Plaza Street. Officers responded but found the situation under control, and no further assistance was needed.
Sunday, Dec. 28 7:57pm The RP on Brown Street stated her house was egged. The RP wanted to press charges if her house was damaged and a suspect was identified. An officer responded and took a report. 10:49pm The RP at Safeway on Vine Street said a man who seemed intoxicated bought a lot of alcohol. He smelled like alcohol, had trouble speaking and needed help entering his rewards number. The man left in his vehicle. An officer responded and checked the area. The vehicle was gone on arrival and unable to be located.

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. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 683-2468 or visit this Internet Web site: www.servicelink ASAP.com, using the Trustee Sale number assigned to this file, T.S. #24041-SU. 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.

uliann Babette Tomasin (née Fiorio), 70, of Windsor, California, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2025. Julie was born on May 18, 1955, to Mario and Ines Fiorio. The oldest of five children, she grew up in a close-knit Italian family on a ranch outside Gilroy, California, where she developed a lifelong love of the land, gardening, family traditions, and hard work. Julie attended St. Mary’s School in Gilroy and Notre Dame High School in Salinas. She continued her education at Gavilan College and Sacramento State, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology. She later completed a master’s equivalent certification in laboratory technology at UC Davis. Her professional career led her to work in in-vitro fertilization laboratories, a field she found deeply rewarding as she helped others build families. Julie met her husband, John, at a rugby tournament in Monterey. Although they did not reconnect for two years, fate reunited them at UC Davis Medical Center, where Julie worked in the emergency room lab and John was a fourthyear medical student. Their courtship was fast and furious and when John matched for his orthopedic residency in Jackson, Mississippi, Julie made the bold decision to follow him, packing her life into a U-Haul and moving across the country. They were married on June 2, 1984, at Mission San Juan Bautista and shared more than 41 years of a loving and eventful marriage. In 1986, they welcomed their first son, David. After John completed his residency, the family moved to Columbus, Georgia, for his sports medicine fellowship, then returned to the West Coast in 1988. They settled in Windsor, California, where they built their family and home. In 1991, they welcomed their second son, Christopher, through adoption and Michael, their “miracle” baby, was born in 1994. Julie was a fiercely devoted mother. She shared a special bond with each of her boys and was overjoyed to welcome her daughters-in-law, Lo and Cassie, and her beloved grandson, Harrison, into the family. Throughout her life, Julie faced extraordinary health challenges. Despite these hardships, Julie rarely complained and never allowed illness to define her. She continued to focus on others, always offering help and comfort to those in need. Julie was deeply involved in her community, serving on the boards of, For Pete’s Sake, where she helped bring a rugby field to Santa Rosa and the Italian Catholic Federation, organizing silent auctions and raffles. She had friends everywhere, including lifelong friendships from high school. Julie loved to travel and was fortunate to explore the world with John. They visited many countries, enjoyed cruises and took multiple cross-country road trips throughout the US and Canada. She also loved working in her yard and took great pride in designing and shaping the family home. John often said that everything beautiful in their home and garden existed because of her. Julie will be remembered for her resilience, generosity, deep love for her family, and the many lives she touched through kindness, friendship, and service. She is survived by her husband, John; sons, David (Losalini), Christopher (Cassie), Michael, grandson, Harrison; and her four siblings, Francine Vorhees (Jon), Carol Duncan (Arliss), Danny Fiorio (Dina) and Richard Fiorio (Anne); as well as her numerous nieces and nephews. A rosary will be held on Friday, January 16, 2026, 6:00 p.m and a funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, January 17, 2026, 11:00 a.m. at St. John’s Catholic Church, Healdsburg.
