Healdsburg’s too-popular secret beach ● Social media unleashed a horde on Russian River shore, but it goes too far Photo by Christian Kallen
Is riverside getaway lost to locals? A gravel beach upstream from Memorial Bridge has long been a quiet place for meditation and family time. But ‘flash mobs’ drawn by social media have turned it into a crime scene, with loud music, heavy drinking, fights and gunfire. At last law enforcement takes notice. — MORE PAGE 12
Healdsburg adds fashion to Pride ● ‘Rainbow Runway’ at Pavilion party Staff Report The rainbow colors of the Pride Flag rose above City Hall last Monday afternoon, June 1,
to inaugurate Pride Month in Healdsburg. The City Council was there, although its regular meeting did not begin until 6pm, and although an official Proclamation was drafted and signed by Mayor Chris Herrod, the speakers at the flag-raising ceremony ran out the clock. There was no time to get to the reading of the Proclamation, there or in the meeting, but it’s official anyway: June is “LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Month” in Healdsburg. Several June 1 speakers cel-
ebrated Healdsburg’s historic role in defeating the Briggs Initiative, a statewide proposition in 1978 that would have banned gay teachers and even supporters of lesbian and gay rights from working in public schools. Several of the speakers on June 1 were teachers, who 50 years ago played a part in supporting Larry Berner while opposing Prop 6. Berner, a second grade teacher at Fitch

By Christian Kallen The May 19 posting on Nextdoor had all the family-friendly, mutual-support vibe the app is known for at its best: “Hi Neighbors, I’m relatively new to the area, but I was wondering where is the best place to find a nice beach on the river that would be safe for little kids to play in the water…” A day later a newspaper story was added to the thread: “Gunfire near Healdsburg park leads to arrest of boy, 17.” The juxtaposition of the innocent mother’s request and the sobering sheriff’s report was striking, especially for a community that has a long history of riverside recreation. The charming postcard of yore with a canoe floating on a hand-tint-
ed riverscape evokes a bucolic scene that, for too many residents, is years in the past. “We’ve lived here since 2013,” said Dave Bent, who with his wife lives in a house overlooking the broad gravel beach. “The first fourth of July we were here, it was unbelievable. It was a massive gathering. I mean, there was no place for bodies to lay down. There was a big tent with the speakers, probably six feet tall, three or four feet wide, 1400 watts blasting straight at my house.” The Bent house sits on the south side of the river, but the entire beach is in county jurisdiction, as the city’s area of

Mountain Elementary, was “outed” as a gay man but did not shirk from that identity. In fact, he embraced it and became a spokesman for the No On 6 forces. He sought out State Sen. John Briggs, who led the effort to pass Prop 6, for a public debate. It was an occasion that, said former teacher Judy Velasques, helped turn the tide against the ballot measures statewide (along with opposition from Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and then-President Jimmy Carter). Of course a key voice was that of Ozzy Jimenez, the former mayor of Healdsburg during the challenging 2019-2022 timeframe. “Healdsburg Pride is the result of a grassroots movement built by so many
people who came before us and those continuing the work today,” he said. “Through Healdsburg Pride we are working to create scholarship opportunities that support local youth to ensure that every young person feels seen, valued and empowered to pursue their future,” he added. Though Santa Rosa and other communities in Sonoma county have already hosted Pride events, in Healdsburg all the action is this coming weekend, including a Pride “Movie Night” and a Rainbow Runway show at the Pavilion, followed by a “Tea Dance” for “music, movement, and connection.” The movie, to be screened at True West Cinemas, will be The Wedding Banquet, which was released just last year and premiered at Sundance. Among its actors is Lily Gladstone, nominated for an Oscar for Killers of the Flower Moon.

MIXED DANCING ‘Tea Parties’ are a favorite way for the LGBTQIA2S+ community to gossip, socialize and dance.
Co-written and directed by Andrew Ahn, it is a remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 romantic comedy of the same name. Screenings are at 4:15pm and 8pm, with a “Sip & Soirée” between 6-8pm featuring Korean-inspired bites from Bazaar Sonoma, local wines from Dot Wines, MacRostie and more, plus photo opportunities for attendees—who are encouraged to “dress to impress.” The next day, Saturday June 13, the Foley Family Community Pavilion exercises its community purpose with events starting at 3pm, following the morning’s Healdsburg Farmers’ Market. The family-friendly event includes free ice cream from Noble Folk and a Resource Fair providing opportunities to connect with local nonprofit organizations promoting access to resources across North County. The highlight of the afternoon is sure to be the vibrant Rainbow Runway fashion show, celebrating the colorful positivity of the movement. There will also be guest speakers, music, food trucks and conviviality until 5pm. At 7pm the Community Pavilion transforms into a Tea Dance, with cocktails from Lo & Behold, local wines, food trucks, dance music and a silent auction. General admission is $55; with two drink tickets it’s $75. This event serves as a fundraiser with all proceeds supporting scholarships for the Healdsburg High School GSA Club (Gender Sexuality Alliance). Healdsburg Pride is a nonprofit under the umbrella of Professionals with Pride, clarified Lise Asimont of Dot Wine. “We are seeking our individual 501(c)3 status at this time,” she said. “We are aiming to broaden our future beneficiaries to the LGBTQIA2S+ community of Healdsburg and Geyserville and will eventually create a foundation for scholarships.” Further information, sponsorship opportunities and ticket links at healdsburgpride.com.

Commencement Exercises: ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ to Be Given by High School Pupils Thursday evening, June 20th, the commencement exercises of the Healdsburg High School will be held at Truitt’s Theater. The exercises promise to be very interesting, it being the close of the fouryear course. Eleven scholars will graduate this year, and their diplomas will entitle them to enter the State University without examination, should they desire. The number of graduates is very creditable, and reflects honor on Professor Bull and his able assistants in the High School.
On the evening mentioned the scholars will present the beautiful fairy-story drama, Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The scholars have been rehearsing the piece for several weeks under the able direction of Mrs. J. B. Davis, and the entertainment will be a rare treat. “What fools these mortals be!” remarks Puck to Oberon, after witnessing some of the love scenes of the play. Those who intend to witness the performance — and doubtless nearly everyone does — should read the drama previous to its presentation. 75 years ago – June 14, 1951
Camp Maacama Building Nears Completion Construction of a new administration building was started at Camp Maacama, the Camp Fire Girls’ Camp in Alex-
ander Valley, last Sunday and Camp Fire officials believe that the new structure would be completed by today. The administration building replaces the old structure which was destroyed by fire of unknown origin early Saturday morning. Cleaning of the area was started Saturday afternoon under the direction of Charles Haun, camp chairman, and by midday Sunday the debris had been cleared away and construction started on the new building. Miss Helen Hermann, Area Director of the Camp Fire Girls, stated that “insurance covered the loss of approximately $3,500. Some $500 worth of handicraft material that had been brought to the camp building the week before, and much of the girls’ completed handicraft, were among other things destroyed.” The fire was discovered by a passing motorist about 5 a.m. Saturday morning who turned in the alarm at Calistoga. Camp Maacama, with an enrollment of
110 campers at each session, is scheduled to open June 17. 50 years ago – June 10, 1976
Voters Reject School Tax For the third time in a year and a half Healdsburg High School District voters have rejected a proposed tax revenue limit increase. In the final, unofficial tally, 52.7% of 2,785 voters opposed Measure “E” with 47.2%, 2,498 voting in favor of the tax boost. “I think we lost because the people don’t want to pay more taxes,” remarked a despondent Ed Sugars, principal of Mountain View High School, shortly after the final returns came in at 12:35 a.m. Wednesday. Defeat of the tax measure may mean elimination of electives at Healdsburg and Windsor Junior High Schools, curtailment of extra-curricular activities at Healdsburg High, and dismissal of a number of teachers and classified employees. Voters rejected the measure, which would have brought an additional $467,000, roughly 69 cents per $100 assessed valuation. The Flashbackers are docents with the Healdsburg Museum and Historical Society. The Museum is open to the public Wednesday-Sunday, 11am to 4pm, at 221 Matheson St. healdsburgmuseum.org

K
aren Huntington, 80, of Healdsburg, passed away peacefully on June 4, 2026, while on vacation with her loving partner, George Dutton. She was a cherished mother, grandmother and friend whose presence will be deeply missed. Karen was born in Omaha on December 18, 1945, to Ruth and Woodrow Johnson. She spent her formative years in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Billings, Montana. She dedicated her life to her family, dear friends, church community, gardening and her passion for the Minnesota Vikings. Her loving spirit brightened the lives of all who knew her. She is survived by her partner, George Dutton; her children, Katie Vandemark, George Vandemark, Jeff LaSeur, Stephanie LaSeur, Tim Huntington and Toni Mathes; her cherished grandchildren, Alan LaSeur, Ashley Huntington, Austin Huntington, Elsa Vandemark, Rebecca LaSeur, Neal Vandemark, Claire LaSeur and Ella LaSeur; her sisters, Kristen Johnson and Margaret Davenport; her niece, Sofie Johnson; and her in-laws, Dixine and Dan Stockton.

parents, Woodrow and Ruth Johnson; her first husband, Jerold LaSeur; and her second husband, Bryan Huntington. Karen raised her children in Mankato, Minnesota and Billings, Montana. She later lived in Wilsonville, Oregon and Hayden Lake, Idaho before moving to Pullman, Washington to be closer to family. Karen spent the last two years of her life with her partner, George. Although their time together was brief, they found a deep connection and great joy in many shared interests. In every community Karen called home, she was the gravitational force that brought family and friends together. Her deep devotion to her family naturally extended into service to others through her work as a Stephen Minister and as an elder in the Presbyterian Church. Through her faith, compassion and generosity, she touched countless lives and was deeply loved by many. A memorial service will be held on June 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Healdsburg Community Church. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to Healdsburg Community Church (1100 University Ave., Healdsburg, CA 95448).

Healdsburg Forever shares donations with nonprofits ● Area funding resource for 240 organizations distributes $3.7 million By Pierre Ratte Friday night’s Healdsburg Forever event at Appellation’s Grange Hall was a terrific success for donors and recipients, enriching the diversity and resilience of our community. As an endowed fund of the Community Foundation Sonoma County, Healdsburg Forever has served Healdsburg and Geyserville for 22 years. During that time it has awarded more than $3.7 million to 240 nonprofit organizations. Healdsburg Forever’s endowment has grown to over $2.7 million, providing a stable financial foundation that
ensures it continues to meet evolving community needs for years to come. The organization operates with an all-volunteer board led by Alan Preston. Under Preston’s leadership, supported by dedicated volunteers and with the professional back-office expertise of the Community Foundation Sonoma County under President Óscar Chávez, the organization’s efforts strengthened significantly. Healdsburg Forever now distributes $400,000 in grants annually, more than double what it granted five years ago, reflecting strong growth and growing community partnerships.
Former Healdsburg mayor Ozzy Jimenez, who has been on the board for seven years and chairs the Grants Committee, introduced three recipient organizations at Friday’s reception: Corazón Healdsburg, La Familia Sana and Legal Aid of Sonoma County. The trio highlighted a collaborative initiative encouraged by Healdsburg Forever to deliver “wrap-around” services. Many nonprofits specialize in specific areas—there are over 3,000 nonprofits in Sonoma County—and people in need often face challenges requiring multiple forms of support that are difficult to find and navigate. Obtaining counseling, food assistance, legal aid, adult education and family support services can feel overwhelming. Fostering collaboration

among trusted local providers reduces barriers to entry. Jimenez captured the fund’s enduring value when he noted: “Through fires, floods, COVID and shifting political landscapes, community issues come up and Healdsburg Forever is there.” The organization’s flexibility allows it to adjust its giving priorities. Jade Weymouth of La Familia Sana shared a powerful example stressing the collaborative effort of the panel. La Familia Sana held 27 “Know Your Rights” events last year. Through partnership with Legal Aid of Sonoma County and Corazón, organizations build trust locally which eases access challenges for specialized services. The approachable luxury of the venue created by Charlie Palmer and Christopher Hunsberger at Appellation Healdsburg’s Grange Hall uplifted the celebratory spirit of the evening event.

responsibility ends at the beach. Over the years Bent and other neighbors we’ve spoken to have called the sheriff’s office often to report the out-ofhand parties. Though they are careful to report “disturbances of the peace,” Bent says, the sheriff’s office default response has become that there is no county noise ordinance, ergo, no way to stop them. The beach in question is accessed by foot from Badger Park, via a service road that runs between the river and the Rivers Bend and Birdland neighborhoods along South Fitch Mountain Road. From Badger Park, it’s about a quarter-mile walk (850 steps on my app) to the short path leading to the wide gravel bar fronted by the gently flowing current. Locals call it Brandt’s Beach, as it’s near that family’s former property. It can be a welcome getaway on a hot summer day, and some go there to meditate in any weather. Heron, osprey, otters and other animals are not uncommon. The river is not deep, but it is meaningful. May 20 Everyone agrees that the social side of the beach has gotten out of hand. On May 11, Healdsburg Police received a report of about “20 or more people at Badger Park on Heron Drive where an altercation took place between several parties. Another person called about a friend who had a seizure down by the river.” Though local officers responded and
staged medical assistance, the May 11 report concluded, “The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office would handle the situation due to the jurisdiction of the location.” A little over a week later, on May 11, things got even worse. A particularly loud and rowdy crowd of some 200 people gathered on the beach. Bent told The Tribune, “I called the sheriff the day of the shooting, about an hour or so beforehand, and I said, ‘I want you to send the deputy here, there is a disturbance of the peace.’” He received the usual no-noise-ordinance response, and got out of there himself. “It was so bad I got in my canoe and I went up-river half a mile to get away from the noise. You couldn’t be in the house without being disturbed by the volume and, you know, it’s not a great playlist,” he said, referring to constant profanity and violence in some of the lyrics. From there, a few hundred yards upriver, Bent heard the gunshots. According to the report filed with Healdsburg Police, May 20 at 6:16pm: “Multiple callers indicated that approximately six shots were fired at Badger Park on Heron Drive. Officers responded and determined the incident was in the jurisdiction of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office so it was referred to that office.” The May 20 incident was also reported by the sheriff’s office on its Facebook feed. It read in part: “Upon arrival, deputies observed multiple individuals fleeing the scene and quickly detained a 17-year-old male juvenile who matched the description of a suspect involved in the shooting. A loaded firearm was located inside a shoulder bag in the juvenile’s possession. The juvenile was not the shooter.”
Their report says that the disturbance was preceded by “a verbal argument among several males near the river [that] escalated into a physical altercation, resulting in gunfire.” Deputies subsequently searched the riverbed and recovered multiple spent shell casings, and the report concluded, “The incident is currently being investigated as gang-related.” Wake-up Call For neighbors on both sides of the river, the problem has been loud, visible and persistent, if seasonal, for years. The rumor of the Instagram or Facebook social media post that set off the lawless popularity of the beach is widespread, but as with all social media virtually impossible to confirm. Still, the recent incidents have increased attention to a situation that has disturbed neighbors for years and finally erupted in gunfire on May 20. “Suffice it to say that shots fired seems to be the only way to get anyone’s attention,” wrote Ernie Selander in a Letter to the Editor. “The joke in my community is that an off-leash dog generates a bigger response from law enforcement or our civic leaders.” Healdsburg Police Chief Matt Jenkins acknowledges the troubles at the location, insisting that “HPD officers regularly respond to calls for service in and around Badger Park and we conduct proactive patrols there.” He said that “HPD personnel were in the Badger Park area approximately 300 times over the past year; most of these were proactive security checks conducted by our officers.”
Sgt. Juan Valencia, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office, responded to our queries. “Since the last incident, deputies have been conducting and logging extra patrols,” he said. “We currently have only two deputies assigned to the North Beat, which covers 534 square miles …” On the subject of gangs, Valencia said, “We have responded to gang-related activity at this location and other areas along the Russian River in the past. While we are aware of a recent increase in gang activity countywide, the Sheriff’s Office lost its full-time gang unit in 2017 due to budget cuts.” Both men denied there had been any issues with accessing the beach area, apparently a common misconception among the people who live there. The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Unit can be reached at 707.565.2185.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-26-1035313-NJ. 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 website. 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. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 866-645-7711, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-26-1035313-NJ to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block.

The above statutorily mandated notices to Tenant, Prospective Owner-Occupant, and Prospective Post-Sale Over Bidders are brief summaries of what may be required under Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. Compliance with all relevant provisions will be required. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.
