Duck Dash, Kids Parade celebrations

● Tradition strong at Plaza’s events, sundown pyrotechnics

Staff Report

Parades have taken place around Healdsburg Plaza as long as there’s been a plaza, according to museum records. Though May Day was the original date of local celebration, soon the Fourth of July—and especially the “grotesque pageants” of the Squeedunk Parade—created an inimitable celebration.

Despite the absence of Squeedunks, this year’s parade coordinator for Healdsburg Sunrise Rotary and its new president, Bob Mosby, said, “In my opinion it was one of the better parades.” Though he admitted that a parade route that sends 225 registered kids ages 4 to 9 (and their parents) twice around the Plaza can have its potential pitfalls, “this year there were no problems, and it went off quite well,” he added.

Drivers throughout Healdsburg during the past week found their attention directed to speed limit signs by red flags, installed at the top of the signs.

The flags were nearly ubiquitous, as existing speed limits all over town were adjusted down, in many cases, to conform with lower speeds set by the City Council about a year ago.

In fact, though the atten-

tion-getting flags were installed just a few days ago, the speed limits they signal went into effect in July 2025, one year ago. That came after a long process that included two City Council meetings in June 2025, followed by staff-prepared work orders for every speed limit sign in town. The work order process included visiting every location to confirm sight dis-

Voters can elect a neighbor to the City Council

● District voting begins this cycle for 2 council seats

By City of Healdsburg

Voting for Healdsburg City Council seats is undergoing a change with the transition from an at-large election system to district-based elections. The change, required by a state law and approved under threat of legal action in 2025, affects how residents vote for council members and how representation is structured throughout the community.

Under the district election system, Healdsburg is divided into districts, and each district elects one council member who lives in and represents that area. The five districts—of nearly equal population—are designed to provide fair and equitable representation for all residents.

Previously, Healdsburg used an at-large election system, where all voters in the city could vote for every City Council seat on the ballot. With district elections, voters will only vote for the council member representing the district where they live.

in October 2024 from a law firm alleging that the at-large election system violated the California Voting Rights Act. The challenge threatened litigation if the city did not voluntarily move to district-based elections. In response, the City Council conducted a public districting process that included multiple public hearings before adopting a final district map on April 21, 2025.

While Healdsburg voters are now limited to voting for candidates in their own district, residents are free to support candidates in other districts through campaign contributions, endorsements, volunteer activities or yard signs.

District elections will not affect a resident’s ability to vote on citywide or countywide ballot measures, county offices, state and federal races, and statewide propositions. Residents may still receive a ballot even if their district’s council seat is not on the ballot during that election cycle.

3 and 5 will continue as at-large council members until those elections occur.

District representation does not limit a council member’s responsibilities to a single neighborhood. Every council member, regardless of district, is responsible for governing the entire City of Healdsburg.

District boundaries may be adjusted in the future following each federal census to account for population changes and to ensure equal representation.

City Council terms are still four years in length. Eligible residents may run for office as often as they choose, provided they meet all legal qualifications and reside in the district they want to represent. In Healdsburg, the City Council selects one of its members to serve as mayor each year, typically for a one-year term.

The transition to district elections followed a challenge received by the city

The first district-based City Council elections will occur November 2026, for Districts 2 and 4. Districts 1, 3 and 5 will hold their first district elections in November 2028. Current council members serving areas that correspond to Districts 1,

Anyone living in District 2 or 4 who is interested in running for office, please contact City Clerk Raina Allan at rallan@healdsburg.gov, or by phone at 707.431.3316. The election filing period opens July 13 and closes Aug. 7.

Quick list of best and worst movies of 2026 … so far

● From ‘The Sheep Detectives’ to ‘Scream 7’

By Jared Rasic

Every July one can look back at the first half of the year to take the temperature of our current cinematic landscape. By this time last year we already had the dizzying peaks of Sinners and On Becoming a Guinea Fowl and the subterranean lows of Jurassic Park: Rebirth and Snow White Will 2026 ultimately prove to be a more artistically daring year at the cinema?

It’s still too early to tell. But the past six months have birthed several remarkable triumphs and hideous failures. Here is an exceedingly non-comprehensive look at some of the best and worst of 2026 so far.

Best Project Hail Mary: While the narrative is essentially just a loving, big-budget mashup of E.T., Interstellar and The Martian , this nearly two-man show between Ryan Gosling and a faceless rock alien possesses so much genuine empathy that it’s impossible to begrudge its more predictable storytelling beats. Propelled by Drew Goddard’s breezy script and the visual alchemy of Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the film makes a very strong case for why the theatrical experience remains a

vital, wonderful necessity in 2026.

Worst Michael: I’ve never received more hate mail in my life than I did for my negative review of this film, so I’ll double down and dig this ditch a little deeper. When the inevitable sequel arrives to cover the second half of Michael Jackson’s life, it will not retroactively fix this sanitized opening chapter, regardless of how unblinking and honest it is about the allegations that surrounded Jackson’s later life.

Michael is an aggressively generic biopic given a free pass solely because the soundtrack is stacked with banger after banger. Antoine Fuqua stages the musical numbers well and Jaafar Jackson lip-syncs and dances admirably, but a person could gain more psychological insight into MJ’s life from a cursory glance at a Wikipedia page. If a lavishly produced music video is all someone wants out of a Michael Jackson biopic, more power to them.

Best The Sheep Detectives: If someone had told me this was one of the best movies of the year just based on the trailer, I would have said they were crazy. Yet, against all logic, this absolute marvel about a computer-animated flock of anthropomorphic sheep solving their shepherd’s murder is a hilarious, heart-

Worst : Postmodern horror movie parodies and satires: The irony here is thick enough to choke on. Two of the worst movies of the year so far are Scream 7—the sixth sequel to a classic original that brilliantly deconstructed and rebuilt the slasher genre—and Scary Movie, the fifth sequel to a comedy that originally parodied Scream by mocking those exact horror tropes.

Scream 7 has so little meat on its bones and such a fundamental misunderstanding of Wes Craven’s original that it has actively transformed into the very thing it used to mock. Meanwhile, the latest Scary Movie is so painfully out of touch and regressive that it’s significantly less funny than the movies it attempts to spoof. It’s depressing as hell, no matter how one slices it.

Best—Horror that takes the genre seriously: Even for audiences who detest horror movies, I still cannot recommend watching Obsession and Backrooms highly enough. Both films take a simple premise—a wish gone wrong in Obsession and an endless, liminal nightmare in Backrooms —and infuse them with enough thematic weight to reward endless rewatches. While Backrooms boasts flashier, more experimental filmmaking, Obsession is an instant classic we’ll be dissecting for decades.

breaking, emotional powerhouse that I’ve already watched three times.

The vocal work from Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chris O’Dowd and Bryan Cranston is flawless, drawing immense soul from the beautiful words of writer Craig Mazin.

Two decades from now we will speak of this film with the same reverence that’s reserved for the Babe duology.

There are plenty of other bright spots scattered throughout the first half of this year. We witnessed a deeply layered, heartbreaking performance from Ralph Fiennes in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Callum Turner’s effortlessly charismatic turn in Rose of Nevada and David Lowery’s characteristically virtuosic filmmaking in Mother Mary—which also features a career-best performance from Anne Hathaway. Add to that Boots Riley’s madcap vision in I Love Boosters and the squirmy uncomfortable morality play of The Drama —anchored masterfully by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson—and it’s clear 2026 is off to quite a solid start.

How to Manage Contractors Working on Your Home

● Do your homework and ‘have a clear vision’

By Janis Mara

One of the most challenging aspects of a home improvement or maintenance project can be dealing with a contractor—especially for a woman. Bay Area real estate experts shared tips on how women can command respect from contractors.

Getting referrals, being choosy when interviewing contractors, doing your research and clearly conveying what you want are always important, but especially for women clients.

“If you are working with a designer or have a relationship with someone in the business, for example a Realtor, get referrals from those people because there’s a working relationship there,” said Amanda Jones, a Bay Area real estate agent with Compass.

She noted that single women are one of the fastest-growing segments of homebuyers, accounting for about 20 percent of all homebuyers and nearly 24 percent of first-time buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Don’t let the contractor give you a snow job, she said.

“Go to the California Contractors State License Board website and check to see if the contractor is licensed,” Jones said. The site is at CSLB.Ca.gov .

Jones said it is important to have a conversation about how the contractor will communicate with you regarding the job.

“How often can you expect them to be on the job site?” she said. “You want to go with a contractor who is local, so they can inspect the job often.”

Also, “You have to have a vision before the contractor shows up,” Jones said. “Have a very clear scope of work. Change orders can be expensive and can delay a job.”

Along those lines, Bay Area contractor Martin Bocanegra encouraged women to “be decisive. Share what you want. In the end, you are the one who is going to be living in the house with the final outcome.

“You are the one who makes the final decisions,” he said.

Rebecca Auerbach, a Bay Area home owner, landlady and accomplished do-it-yourselfer, has successfully worked with contractors for more than 15 years.

“Have a general understanding of the technical aspects of the work you want done,” Auerbach said, because a con tractor may be dismissive otherwise.

Find out what the best practices are for the job, and take note of technical terms to help better understand what the contractor may be saying. That said, never hesitate to ask if the contractor uses an unfamiliar term.

Also, try to get an idea of what a rea sonable price might be in your area for the project. Try to find a high-low range to avoid being gouged.

“Most people have no idea how much it costs to do a bathroom,” Jones noted.

For research purposes, Auerbach recommends websites such as the U.S. Department of Energy and HomeAdvisor.com.

All three agreed that research is important. However, above all, Jones said, “You will get a vibe on someone. Trust your instinct.”

Held at Memorial Beach

Dedication and flag raising ceremonies for the flag and new flag pole erected at Memorial Beach in front of the Veteran’s Memorial Building was held yesterday at 10:00 a. m. before a small crowd of local citizens and visitors. The opening speech

was given by Ed Jenkins, commander of the Sotoyome Post 111, American Legion, followed by the blessing on the ceremonies performed by the American Legion Chaplain, Elmer Sandborn. Jenkins then introduced Joe Elmoni, commander of the Claude Latin Post 809, Veterans of Foreign Wars, who presented the flag to the sergeant in arms. In his concluding remarks he said; “May it wave over this community as a memorial to the dead.” The ceremonies were under the auspices of the local chapters of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The former post provided the pole and installation and the latter provided the flag and cement work. A permanent marker will be placed at the base of the flag pole.

Epic is the word for World Cup

● US falls to Belgium as 5 billion viewers tune in

By Pierre Ratte

For those who haven’t been watching, this year’s World Cup is sizzling hot. Fuego! The Group Stage delivered nonstop fireworks and edge-of-your-seat drama. Insane goals, heroic saves. This is not the boring soccer matches of years past with routine 1-0 victories. It’s pure chaos.

Tiny Cape Verde (pop. 560,000) pushed defending champions Argentina in a 2-2 thriller through 110 minutes, until Argentina escaped elimination in the 111th minute. Germany, another football giant, went down to Paraguay in a shootout. England, Norway, Spain and Belgium came through to the quarterfinal round: England 3 vs. Mexico 2; Norway 2 vs. Brazil 1; Spain 1 vs. Portugal 0; and the U.S., unfortunately losing to Belgium, 4-1. A promising U.S. team eliminated in the Round of 16, and the tournament goes on.

Over the last few decades worldwide football skills leveled up hard. Passes are sharper, play is faster and virtually every team is willing to attack. In prior years, weaker teams relied on tightly packed defensive postures. Stronger teams contented themselves controlling time of possession, seeking an opening for a 1-0 win knowing their opponent had lit-

The school zones include not only the elementary schools (both public and private) but the middle schools and Healdsburg High as well. As the high school and the Fitch Mountain Campus of the elementary school abut, the area they share along University, Monte Vista, Sanns and neighboring streets is a fairly large zone of school speed reduction.

The changes are tied to safety initiatives like Vision Zero, a collaborative

Notable adjustments in speed limits affecting key routes include Healdsburg Avenue at both the north entrance and the south entrance of town. In both cases, the speed limits are reduced by five miles

FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) began in Paris in May of 1904. FIFA presently has 211 country and territory members. This year’s ball is branded “Trionda;” tri honoring three host nations, and onda—the Spanish word for wave—representing the spectator wave that is washing over the tournament. World Cup viewing is projected to exceed 5 BILLION viewers. For context, the 2025 MLB World Series had 236 million viewers, and the 2026 NFL Super Bowl had 125 million.

per hour—the former 40 mph speed limit from the northern city limit to Parkland Farms Boulevard is reduced to 35, and from Parkland Farms into town at Powell Avenue it drops to 30 mph from 35. Similarly, the south entrance was formerly 45 mph to Bailache and is now 35.

The downtown speed limit from Piper to Mill Street is now just 20 mph. The 20 mph limit also applies to other downtown streets, such as Center and Plaza. (Speed limits apply to traffic going in both directions, of course).

Parade

Mitchell, joined by Police Chief Matt Jenkins and this year’s mayor, Chris Herrod. “I have had the honor of being the head judge for the last several years,” Mitchell said. “It is one of my favorite things to do. The Sunrise Rotary does an amazing job, and the kids are wonderful.”

The celebration began about 10:30am with the registration for the Duck Dash ramp, followed by the kids parade and an Independence Day fair and car show. Music by the Healdsburg Community Band created a patriotic atmosphere, and Court ’n’ Disaster added its classic country repertoire.

The city’s recreation director, Matt Milde, estimated between 3,500 and 4,000 people attended. “While attendance is certainly one measure of success, it’s not the only one,” he said. “More importantly, the event brought the community together and created lasting Fourth of July memories for many Healdsburg families.”

Later that evening, the American Legion Post 111 shot off a half-hour of red, white and blue (and a few other colors on the spectrum) fireworks until 10pm, bringing Independence Day to a close, Healdsburg-style.

“The celebration is so quintessentially small-town fun,” Mitchell said. “I always walk away with a smile on my face and a feeling of pride in our community.”

Speed

— Continued from page 7

DOWNTOWN LIMIT

Twenty miles per hour is a standard downtown speed limit as shown by this new sign, on North Street looking east.

The changes, all reductions, are adjustments to what is called the state default “prima facie” speed limit in residential areas of 25 mph. The reasons for the lower speed limits given by the Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Authorities (SCTCA) are, “Lower speeds reduce crash severity, give drivers more time to stop, and improve road visibility.” The lower speed limits also “enable safer street design improvement,” according to the SCTCA.

The City Council approved the new speed zones map on June 2, 2025. The vote was 4-1, with Ron Edwards voting “no.” Before the vote Ariel Kelley gave an impassioned endorsement of the goals of the Vision Zero initiative, which strives to reduce pedestrian fatalities to zero.

“I want to support the recommendations,” she said from the dais. “I feel really strongly that this is one of those things that we have the ability to actually improve people’s ability to get in and around our town, to get out of their cars, should they want to, or just to slow down. Frankly, lives will be saved because of it. That feels like a pretty compelling reason to me.”
