Built over 100 years ago, the former produce warehouse on North Street has been remodeled over the past five years into the Foley Family Community Pavilion. It opens for business on Saturday with a morning Farmers’ Market, the Latino Vamos al Tianguis in the evening and a community health fair on Sunday.
● ‘Friends’ works with county system
By Jon Haupt
Staff at the Healdsburg Library have truly enjoyed sharing the newly modernized space at
139 Piper St. with all of our community members this year. Our door count has been considerably higher than before the project, in line with pre-pandemic numbers and sometimes even higher as patrons rediscover the library and find out ways they can take advantage of this public resource.
Members of the Friends of the Healdsburg Library (FoHL) were pleased to see so many people eager to check out their book sale last week. FoHL book sales often mark our busiest
weeks of the year, and this was no exception.
Sometimes we find there is some confusion about how the FoHL fits in with the public library, and I wanted to provide a basic explanation. The library is a taxpayer-funded institution, provided for by a Joint Powers Agreement between Sonoma County and the cities. The library system is able to provide the basics for collections, services and programs needed to

● ‘Pop-up market’ preview among three events this weekend
Staff Report
After a 100-year history, 25 years of active discussion and five years of remodeling, a new public space will open in Healdsburg this weekend. Long envisioned as a public space to provide an alternative to the over-used Healdsburg Plaza, and a new home for the Healdsburg Farmers’ Market, the new location gets its trial-by-fire this weekend with three different events, speaking to three different parts of the community.
There have been a couple of “welcome” events at the location—some call it the Foley, some the Pavilion, some by its full name, the Foley Family Community Pavilion. The most recent event happened before Christmas, on Dec. 15. The stage was decorated with holiday trees, a sample farmers’ market wagon (from Noble Goat Farms, whose Shalie Gaskill Jonker is the market board chair) and a panel for former farmers’
market managers, among others. Appropriately the first official city event to be held at the Pavilion will be held Saturday morning, when the Healdsburg Certified Farmers’ Market holds a “pop-up” starting at 6:30am. “We can’t wait to test the space,” said Janet Ciel, the current market manager. “The first day of spring seems a perfect date to give it a go.”
Ciel said many vendors will be familiar to market-shoppers from last year. “With the exception of a small handful,” she said, “the vendors will be those you know and love. There will be more craft than we normally have, so we can really test out the maximum number of vendors we can fit in the space.”
Space for vendors has always been a concern for the Farmers’ Market organization and the vendors themselves. “I’ll confess to not being a fan

make a successful public library.
The FoHL is a local 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to fundraising and supporting the library financially and otherwise. It is a separate entity from the library, but we work closely together.
Funding from the FoHL can provide support for the hardworking staff, like appreciation lunches, or otherwise “take things to the next level.” For instance, it was FoHL funding added to the recent modernization that made possible some of the most dramatic new elements in the building, including the new windows, the special reading nooks for kids and the special, laser-cut tree feature surrounding our Children’s Room.
Those who would like more information about the FoHL may inquire at the library, visit the library web site, follow the FoHL Facebook or Instagram accounts, or write an email to friendsofhbglibrary@gmail.com.
As usual, we have several programs of interest coming up on the horizon. On Saturday, April 4, at 2pm we will host the Santa Rosa Symphony’s String Quartet for a performance at the library for all ages. The event will kick off National Poetry Month with the interplay of poetry and music.
As we enjoy the warmer temperatures of spring, our community begins to look outside and we follow the same patterns in our programming and outreach. Also on Saturday, April 4, at 11am we invite you to a UC Master Gardener program, “Good Bugs vs. Bad Bugs.” Presented by Bruce Robinson, the event will teach attendees how to attract the kind of insects to their vegetable gardens that benefit plants and produce.
Along that line, we know that many will be wondering when our popular Storytimes in the Park start again. We will offer them on various Fridays throughout late spring, summer and early fall. For the most up-to-date information, visit our library’s web calendar at events. sonomalibrary.org or pick up a monthly flyer at the library.
CITY REPORT
Submitted by City of Healdsburg
The City Council met on Monday, March 16, this week to issue a pair of proclamations, hear a report from its fire department and a request for support for a quarter-cent sales tax extension for SMART, and discuss ways to streamline and update its protocols.
Sanchez family

The council issued a proclamation acknowledging the Sanchez family for 40 years of service to the community with their downtown business, Taqueria El Sombrero. The proclamation and subsequent remarks highlighted a classic American Dream story: Benjamin Sanchez coming to this country to work and pursue opportunity, then bringing his wife, Celina, and their children to join him.
Hard work and perseverance resulted in the opening of Taqueria El Sombrero, a local and visitor favorite for four decades located at 245 Healdsburg Ave. The family will celebrate with the community on March 29, with music, family activities and more.
The council issued a proclamation acknowledging National Surveyors Week, noting that “since the Colonial days of the United States, surveyors have been leaders in the community, statesmen, influential citizens, and shapers of cultural standards.”
Former notable surveyors include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Lewis and Clark, Daniel Boone, and Henry David Thoreau. Monica Wingett, of the Sonoma County chapter of the California Land Surveyors Association, accepted the proclamation.
Suzanne Smith, the retired executive director of the Sonoma County Transportation Authority and the Regional Climate Protection Authority, is now supporting the campaign to renew the quarter-cent sales tax that is a keystone of the SMART commuter train funding. Smith told the council that Measure B, the ballot measure
to renew the tax for another 30 years, will be on the ballot this June.
Smith stressed the value of the train in a larger context than transportation, telling the council that having a commuter train in operation has helped local cities win $735 million in grants since its inception. At the conclusion of the meeting, the council expressed a willingness to make a public statement supporting the SMART tax renewal.
Healdsburg Fire Chief Jason Boaz and Fire Marshal Lance MacDonald presented the annual fire department update. Among a plentiful presentation of data, including staffing levels, response times, incident statistics and more, the presentation covered the new use of an old tool, reducing wildfire risk through prescribed burns.
MacDonald told the council about a series of prescribed burns in the undeveloped areas on the eastern and northern flanks of the city, including wildland areas around Fitch Mountain Villas and the eastern ridgetops above the city. Chief Boaz noted that “the biggest potential wildfire risk to the City is a wind-driven fire from the northeast.” By clearing areas in the path of such a fire, the city not only reduces risk, it provides the fire department a place to stage and battle a wildfire.
During his report, Healdsburg City Manager Jeff Kay noted that the community can still take advantage of the online budget simulation tool that allows anyone to offer input to the upcoming City budget. The tools are at healdsburg.gov/budget.
Before the meeting ended, the council discussed ways to streamline and update its protocols. Many of these minor updates reflect changes to state law, updates to how agendas are prepared, how meeting notes are crafted and more.
The next City Council meeting will be its goal-setting session on Wednesday, March 25, at Tayman Park.

Premiere of ‘Life in Healdsburg’ held yesterday
First showing of the natural-colored motion picture “Life in Healdsburg” filmed during the past week throughout the Healdsburg area was premiered yesterday at the Aven Theatre. Stars of the film were the town Healdsburg, its citizens and its numerous activities.
Produced, photographed and directed by Robert Allen, the president of Reelife Productions, Los Angeles, the film depicts the activities of the city of Healdsburg. Starting on Tuesday, March 13, Allen has taken shots of various clubs and organizations in action, church functions, fire, police departments, schools, local industries and a number of street scenes. The film, narrated with a musical background arranged by Allen, will be shown at all
The countdown on the downbeat has begun. Tonight, 43 members of the Healdsburg High School band and their 41-year-old director Lew Sbrana will try to sleep like they have never slept before because tomorrow, at 8 a. m., the music will begin and it will go on, and on, and on–for 50 straight hours band members try to set a world record for continuous play, and pick up $7,000 or $8,000 in spare change along the way.
It’s all part of the band’s effort to raise the $15,000 necessary for members to fly to Washington D.C. for the June 14 Festival of Nations. Healdsburg is the only Northern California band to be invited and band members have been selling pledges for weeks to raise funds for the trip. Donors agree to pay a specified amount for each hour that the band continues to play as it tries to break the 48-hour record set by a Eureka band.
During the 50-hour concert, a number of alumni and friends of the band are expected to “sit in” for a number. Mayor Robert Sauers and Schools Superintendent Robert Malone are among those who will spin out some sweet (or sour) notes. The evening will be punctuated by the appearance of guest conductors — at $1 a try Pastor Bill Hayes has promised to pray for the right beat as he conducts, attorney Mike Welty says he won’t take the band to court if it can’t follow the swing of his baton, and Dentist Don Watts will try to drill out a snappy number or two.

September 14, 1933 – March 8, 2026

Sheila Yoell Kneass, passed away peacefully in Healdsburg, CA on March 8, 2026. A native of San Francisco, Sheila was born on September 14, 1933, the daughter of Helen and Rodney Yoell, MD. She attended the Hamlin School, the Convent of the Sacred Heart, and graduated from UC Berkeley in 1956, where she was a member of Alpha Phi sorority.
Sheila travelled to Europe in 1956 where she married her first husband, Perry Rosson (d. 2002), who was serving in the U.S. Army overseas. They soon returned to Piedmont, CA and later moved to Saratoga, CA, where she lived for thirty years. Teaming up with three close friends in the 1970’s, Sheila built a successful catering company which she eventually sold in the 1990’s and is still thriving today.
Sheila married Bill Kneass in 1994 and they moved to Healdsburg, where they enjoyed the beautiful community together, until his death in 2007. An avid reader, she worked in two bookstores and later in a cooking store in Healdsburg. She loved to travel and continued to do so late into her 80’s when she and a dear friend went on a tent safari in Africa.
Sheila was adored by her family and friends. She had an infectious sense of humor and an extraordinarily upbeat perspective. As a true lover of life, Sheila instilled a sense of fun combined with humility, and hard work in her children and grandchildren. She was a wonderful cook, and she will be remembered by the warm and delicious parties and holidays she hosted.
Having lived a long and varied life, Sheila will be deeply missed. She loved her family and many friends, and her legacy will forever be to appreciate all that life has to give and gratitude for all one has. Sheila’s last few years were filled with time with her family and the exceptionally dedicated and caring staff at The Ridge in Healdsburg.
Sheila is survived by her three children, Peter Rosson (David Barrett), Katie Rosson (Gibson Scheid), Charlie Rosson (Denise Rosson); and her granddaughters, Schuyler and Alexandra “Kiki” Rosson. She is predeceased by her brother, John Yoell; and her sister, Catherine “Missy” Saveri.

● Strong finish in longer distances at ‘Big Cat’ in Santa Rosa
By Caleb Knudsen
The school year’s first big invitational track meet took place last Saturday at Santa Rosa High. The Big Cat Invitational is in its 34th year at the school, adjacent to Santa Rosa Junior College. It hosted student-athletes from 27 schools in Northern California from early morning until late in the afternoon on March 7. Many of the runners were veterans of the school’s 2025 Cross Country team, which made a rare appearance at the State CIF Championships in late November.
Katie Guthrie coaches both teams this year.
Notable performances by Healdsburg High athletes included HHS sophomore Teague Jasper who cleared 6 feet, 6 inches in the high jump. That leap broke a decades-old school record of 6 feet, 5.5 inches set in 1963 by Clem Houg.
Jasper also competed in the 200-meter sprint, finishing less than two seconds behind the first-place finisher. And he finished fourth in the varsity long jump, at 19 feet, 7.5 inches. It was a good day for Teague, following on the heels of an NBL-Redwood all-league basketball season.
In the longer distances, the cross country athletes showed up with two finishers in the top 10 in 800 meters: senior Jake McWilliams and freshman Phoenix De Maria Nall in ninth and 10th.
In the boys varsity 1,600 meters, three Greyhounds finished in the top 10: Lucas Welty in seventh, De Maria Nall in ninth and McWilliams in 10th.
In the longest distance in the meet, the 3,200 meter race, sophomore Welty came in second behind the winner, Xavier Surgeon of Windsor. His classmate Domenico Cornilsen came in ninth.
JV athletes Milo Timmsen-Miller and Eli Zepeda Lemus, both on the wrestling team last season, made a good showing in field events, in both shot put and discus. In fact Timmsen-Miller won the JV discus event with a heave of 106 feet, 10.5 inches.
The Greyhound girls’ performance at Big Cat again showed strength in the longer distances. Sophomore Justina Domenichelli came in third in the JV 400 meters at 1:07.27, with junior Olive Munden in sixth at 1:09.86. Junior Lila Kreck also made a good showing in the JV running events.

of it initially,” Ciel said. “I realized it would be challenging to put vendors up there (on the stage area), as they can’t drive a car onto it. Everything will have to go up via stairs or a ramp.” But as she’s become used to the space, she’s recognized its potential.
“We can do our Pumpkin and Zucchini Festivals” on the stage, she said. “Our Info Booth will be up there, and our nonprofit vendors. Musicians will be located at the front, left side, plus there will be plenty of seating. If there’s heavy rain and vendors want to relocate, there’s space for at least a dozen booths on the platform.”
The regular weekly Saturday Healdsburg Farmers’ Market season begins April 11.
That same Saturday, from 4-9pm, Vamos North Bay re-introduces its monthly third Saturday (through December) open-air market or “tianguis” at the Community Pavilion, featuring art, music, food and goods by local entrepreneurs, plus imported artisan crafts. That event is likely to be a good place to shop for gifts, food and crafts, with music and Indigenous dance.
The next day, Sunday March 22, a Community Housing and Resource Fair will take over the Pavilion from 1-5 pm, showcasing valuable local resources, information and programs related to housing, utilities and sustainable living in Healdsburg. Attendees can explore booths hosted by community partners and City staff, learn about programs that support residents, and discover ways to make their homes more efficient and affordable.
Participants can also enter a prize drawing for a chance to win an e-bike (limited to Healdsburg CARE income-qualified residents), or an induction burner with pots and pans (limited to Healdsburg residents). Visit SmartLivingHealdsburg.org to learn more about Healdsburg’s e-bike and electric cooking programs.
Mark Themig, the city’s community services director, feels that all the pieces are in place. “I think we should be ready. I don’t anticipate any major issues with the facility,” he said. “Everything seems to be functioning, like the Wi-Fi and security cameras and electricity and the sound system and all that. So it should be ready to roll.”
As the year progresses, more events will be scheduled for the Foley Family Community Pavilion. Keep checking on the city’s website at healdsburg.gov/ foleypavilion.

February 27, 1933 – March 9, 2026

Etta Adams, beloved mother, grandmother, and faithful servant of God, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on March 9, 2026, at the age of 93.
Etta was born on February 27, 1933, in Clarksville, Arkansas. She later made her home in Healdsburg, California, where she spent most of her life and became a cherished member of the community. Known for her kindness, quiet strength, and warm heart, Etta devoted her life to her faith and to the care of her family.
She was a faithful and devoted member of the Church of Christ, where her deep faith guided her life and inspired those around her. Her love for God was reflected in the compassion, generosity, and humility she showed throughout her life.
Etta’s greatest joy was her family. Etta was predeceased by her beloved husband of 39 years, Frank W. Adams, whom she missed dearly. She is now reunited with him.
She is survived by her four children: Allen and Brenda Adams of Healdsburg, California; Julia and Sam Arreguin of Cloverdale, California; Quinetta and David Sims of Bonanza, Oregon; and Derl and Janet Henderson of Rexburg, Idaho. She also leaves behind 12 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, and greatgreat-grandchildren who will carry forward her legacy of love and faith.
Etta will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to her family, her gentle spirit, and the wisdom she shared with generations. Her life was a blessing to all who knew her, and the love she gave will continue to live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
Funeral services will be held on March 21, 2026 at Fred Young Funeral Home at 12:00 pm preceded by a public viewing at 11 am in Cloverdale, California. A graveside interment will follow at Olive Hill Cemetery in Geyserville, followed by a celebration of life at the Healdsburg Church of Christ.

9:06am Graffiti was reported on Grant Street at the railroad tracks on the Foss Creek sign.
10:27am The Reporting Party (RP) on Fitch Street said she was involved in trying to evict a male tenant. A couple of days earlier, the tenant was smoking marijuana and told the RP that she was lucky she is a woman because otherwise he would kill her. The RP wanted a report. The RP was asked to arrive at the police department at 11:15am so a Spanish-speaking officer could assist. The RP did not show.
3:22pm Two men argued at Healdsburg City Hall on Grove Street. Officers responded and made contact with the parties. The argument was verbal only, and no crime was committed.
4:45pm The RP on University Street saw a person steal approximately 100 oranges from his property. The RP wanted to press charges for trespass and petty theft if the person was identified.
5:03pm A 52-Year-Old (YO) woman went to the Healdsburg Police Department on Center Street to retrieve her property. She was found to have four outstanding Sonoma County warrants. She was arrested and brought to county jail for possession of a controlled substance and on warrants regarding possession for sale of a controlled substance, transportation of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanor hitand-run, and possession of sedatives or benzodiazepines. Her property was released to her partner.

The rain is gone, spring is almost here and it’s a great time to refresh your home. It doesn’t have to be expensive or exhausting—maybe a fresh coat of paint, new colors, new lighting and a window-washing, Bay Area designers said.
Small changes can have a big visual impact, according to Kanika Khurana, principal interior designer for Kanika Design.
“I love swapping winter textures for spring-forward soft goods—lightweight linen pillows, airy curtains and brighter rugs,” Khurana said.
Anna Jacoby of Anna Jacoby Interiors seemed to be on the same page.
“You can replace your fall look with nice fresh springtime colors,” Jacoby said. “Consider changing out the throw pillows on the sofa, as well as the table runners on the dining room table.
“Get some fresh flowers or silk flowers for the centerpiece,” she suggested. “This is all low-cost and puts you in a springy mood.”
For the bedroom, Jacoby said, if you have a goose down comforter, you can change the cover for a new look at not much expense.
Along those lines, Khurana said “My personal favorite tip is to start with the bedroom. Add crisp new bedding paired with dimmable lights you can adjust to your mood.”
Lighting can completely transform how a home feels, according to real estate site Redfin. You can start with general overhead lighting that evenly illuminates the room as a base. From there, you can add task lighting focusing on specific activities, such as desk lights, or accent lighting.
For spring, the best choice may be natural lighting, maximizing windows and daylight whenever possible, according to Redfin.
With that in mind, “Definitely wash your windows after a long winter,” Jacoby said. “You’re going to want your windows shades open to look at the flowers blooming outside.”
Painting a room is another relatively low-effort approach. With spring in mind, neutral or light tones can brighten things up, according to Redfin.
Overall, “If you’re looking for a weekend project, a fresh coat of paint is still the most cost-effective way to redefine a space,” Khurana said.
Even more low-cost: Rearranging the furniture.
“Don’t overlook the power of simply decluttering and reconfiguring your furniture,” Khurana said. “It costs nothing and provides a much-needed sense of clarity.”
Clearing surfaces and streamlining storage makes rooms feel larger. And rotating art and accessories can create a fresh perspective on a familiar space.
Some more cost-effective small changes: New placemats and kitchen towels; new bathroom towels and hand soaps in the bathroom; and a new shower curtain, Jacoby said.
“With the change of seasons, it’s a nice time to try new things,” the designer said.
In Sonoma County, the median home is worth around $761,000, according to the Zillow Home Value Index.
In January 2026, Sonoma County home prices were up 1.1 percent compared to last year, selling for a median price of $775,000, according to data from Redfin. On average, homes in Sonoma County sell after 71 days on the market compared to 58 days last year. Two hundred six homes sold in January this year, down from 220 last year.
