SMART begins approach

● Bridge over Russian River a key component of rail’s impact on town

By Christian Kallen

Active work begins next week on the Windsor-to-Healdsburg extension of the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit line, when a series of core samples will be bored to evaluate the substructure of the route and let road-builders know what lies beneath the surface.

Some of that work will take place in town at various spots between Matheson Street and North Street, as well as in the Healdsburg Station area itself, at 300 Hudson St. Eventually, all that work is projected to bring service to Healdsburg by December 2028. That may seem like a long time yet to wait, but it’s been a long time

coming just to get to this point. SMART currently operates 48 miles of rail in Marin and Sonoma counties, serving 14 stations between Larkspur and Windsor. The Healdsburg station has always been on its drawing boards, as has the northernmost station in Cloverdale. That one however has yet to be funded, while the money to bring the trains to Healdsburg is already in the pipeline.

According to the agency, $269 million in funding for

the Healdsburg extension has already been secured through a combination of federal, state, regional and local grants.

When it finally brings passengers to Healdsburg, the SMART train will stop at a platform at the historic Healdsburg Depot,

Pavilion aces final test for local events

● It’s ‘smile time’ at pop-up market, tianguis and forum

By Christian Kallen

The long-awaited opening of the Foley Family Community Pavilion went off without a hitch, more or less, during last weekend’s three scheduled events.

Janet Ciel, the manager of the Healdsburg Farmers’ Market, had a practical measure for how she deemed the success. “That vendors were able to get their vehicles in and get set up,” she said. “So it feels successful to me.”

Her colleague at the market’s information booth at the March 21 pop-up, Christine Webster, was more enthusiastic. “It’s great; it’s wonderful,” she said. “The new establishment is going to be even better than we expected.”

The vendors themselves seemed pretty darn happy with the experience, too. “I love this market; I love the community; I love everyone coming,” said olive-oil maker Russ Messing, who found himself on the cover

MOVIES

Movies a year-round obsession for many

● Short film festival highlights, rock movie classic on the way at Raven and True West screens

By Christian Kallen

The Oscars have barely settled on their new shelves, but the thirst for award-worthy cinema remains unslaked. Next year’s crop of hopefuls is queuing up for release while the latest winners—One Battle, Sinners, Hamnet and the foreign favorite Sirat—continue playing on local screens.

But last year’s best still have a lot to offer, in the field of short films as well as features. Pamela and Kirk Demorest urge the community to relive the best moments of last year’s three-day long “Healdsburg International Short Film Festival” in April at the Raven.

The founding couple split up the audience favorites from last fall’s festival into two blocks, each to run three times to give film fans a chance to see them all. Those who caught them the first time

might well like to see them again, and those who did not now have the chance.

“There are usually some fun surprises for us in the line-up of our ‘Audience Favorites’ program,” said co-founder Pamela Demorest. “Some films resonate more with our audience than they did with our celebrity jury, and we always want our guests to feel like a vital part of the process.”

The program is curated entirely from the highest-rated films as voted by last year’s attendees, but as it was forwarded to the festival judges (including Tom Waits, Laraine Newman, Ed Begley Jr. and others) the selection has added weight.

Each screening carries separate admission and each block consists of about seven films, lasting over an hour. The “Volume 1” selection includes entries from Norway, Croatia, Luxembourg and the United States; “Volume 2”

where the full, three-day festival arrives in September 2026.

Meanwhile

Just a crooked block away sits the True West Film Center, which despite its baffling logo delivers on its promise of community excitement and education. The education part was exemplified by the recent “Fresh Takes Student Film Festival” on March 14. The event included 15 short films by Sonoma County filmmakers in elementary, middle and high schools for an audience of family members and friends—no public tickets were available.

But for the kids it was fun: Four North Bay classic car clubs provided limousine service for student filmmakers, chauffeuring them in vintage vehicles before they “walked the red carpet” at True West Film Center. The Sonoma County Office of Education sponsored the festival.

Coming up on April 17 the Film Center presents an “Almost Famous Evening with Cameron Crowe,” writer and director of the GenX movie touchstone. Contemporary writer Ben Fong-Torres will be on hand as well—the two met in the San Francisco offices of Rolling Stone and Fong-Torres is a character in the 2000 movie, set in the year 1973.

Though Almost Famous defined an earlier part of his career, it was as a director that Crowe became more than a juvenile journalist. Tom Cruise’s Jerry McGuire preceded Famous, while Vanilla Sky immediately followed it. And lest one forget he wrote the book, Fast Times at Ridgemont High

shows shorts from Spain, Ireland, Scotland and, again, the United States. Screenings take place Saturday and Sunday, April 11-12, at 2pm, 5pm and 7:30pm at the Raven Performing Arts Theater,

The “Almost Famous” event is elaborate and includes a private reception at Harris Gallery; dinner and wine at the Film Center with live, era-appropriate music; the screening of the original movie (starring Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand and Kate Hudson); and a follow-up question period with Crowe, Fong-Torres and the film center’s artistic director, John Cooper. Tickets range from $350 to $1,500, to benefit the True West Film Center, at 371 Healdsburg Ave.

The checkered history of chess

● How a Persian military game became a global phenomenon

By Pierre Ratte

Chess is an ancient game revealing much history as it traveled and morphed across three empires. Developed in India, the original game was called chaturanga—literally four divisions of the Indian army: infantry, cavalry, war elephants and charioteers. Legend has it an Indian emperor in the Seventh century gifted the game to a Persian (Iranian) king.

Under the Persians and the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1,200 C.E.) the game became very popular. Chess entered Christian lands via trade routes in Sicily and Spain. By the 1300s the Persian shah mat (literally, king defeated) morphed into the English “checkmate.” In 1849 Britain’s great champion, Howard Staunton (18101874), codified the modern standard for chess pieces and in 1851 he organized the first international chess tournament.

From the first Indian-conceived chess pieces in chaturanga to Staunton’s standardized design, the Indian infantry became pawns; the cavalry, knights; the war elephants, bishops; and the charioteers, rooks. The chess set pictured above is hand-carved ivory from post-war Japan, circa 1950, representing Buddhist monks as bishops and mounted samurai as knights. The castle design is also Japanese.

FUN FACTS: The Buddhist bishop

above encapsulates a full circle of history in learning and design. The renaissance of the Persian empire around 700 C.E., after the death of Prophet Muhmmad (570-632 C.E.) and the introduction of chess, did not stem from Muslim influence under the Koran so much as it did from tolerant and learned Buddhist influence. The Muslim viziers (think: Ja’fah / advisors), came from a Barmakid clan that converted to Islam but governed with Buddhist knowledge derived from Indian learning centers as in Nalanda (founded 427 C.E.), containing over 6 million manuscripts with 2,000 teachers influencing cultures from Persia to China.

When Persia—which forbade artistic depictions of living creatures—adopted chess, the war elephants morphed into a blob with a slit representing the gap between tusks. That slit later translated to bishops’ double mitered hats, hence the slit at the top of Staunton’s standardized design.

Famous and quirky chess players include: Jose Capablanca (1888-1942), a famous Cuban grandmaster who continuously smoked cigars while playing; Alexander Alakine (1892-1946), who brought and petted his cat named “Chess”; and Bobby Fischer (1943–2008) who had all of his dental fillings removed to escape radio transmissions.

The movie Searching for Bobbie Fischer chronicles his life of chess and his 20-plus-year exile. Fischer once played 50 simultaneous games, winning 47 and drawing two, with one loss.

Pavilion

— Continued from page 1

of The Tribune last week. “It’s always smile time!” By coincidence, his booth was set up in almost the same spot the Noble Goat Farms truck had occupied in that newspaper photo.

The market could loosely be described as consisting of five spaces, with vendor spaces assigned by market manager Ciel. “This is kind of how Saturday will be. The produce vendors will be in those spots, for the most part, and many other vendors will have the same spots through the season,” she said. Between 55 and 60 vendors will participate once the regular Saturday market begins on April 11. Fifty-seven vendors attended on March 21.

The main hall is surmounted by the soaring translucent roof, which is supported by a historic girder system reminiscent of the Cerri warehouse that stood here for years.

Outside at a booth on North Street Shalie Jonker, the owner of Noble Goat Farms, scampered to meet demand from the first-day shoppers. Several of the market’s signature produce vendors—Preston Farms, Front Porch Farm and Little Saint— were also located on North Street, for easy access to their trucks. But Jonker’s signature Noble Goat Farms truck was nowhere to be seen. “It’s getting remodeled so it opens on the side instead of off the back,” she said. “It will fit nicely here.”

Jonker is also the president of the board of directors for the Healdsburg

Certified Farmer’s Market, and as such had a well-rounded perspective on the day. “We’ve had such a great morning,” she said. “What makes it great? The support of the community coming out; it’s been completely busy all morning. It makes us all the more excited for the new season and coming back in April with even more of a bounty of produce.”

The Saturday market begins April 11, and will run weekly until Dec. 19, 2026.

Back beneath the roof, Joe Wolf, co-owner of Marla Bakery with Amy Brown, sold pastries and loaves from his stand. “This is a lovely change. Inclement weather will not be an issue anymore,” he said. Marla, named after the first letter of the women’s names who helped them learn to cook, has been a market vendor for several years, since opening in Santa Rosa in 2021. They also deliver twice weekly to Shelton’s Natural Foods Market in Healdsburg.

Out in the parking lot area, many prepared-food vendors were set up. They included Kriztian and Alena Karkus, the European couple who also run the Tisza Bistro restaurant in the former Single Tree space at 428 Healdsburg Ave. Using the same portable kitchen they’ve set up for several years at the Saturday farmers’ market, they seemed happy to be back.

“It was a crazy day for me, but quite successful for all,” Ciel said. “We had an excellent day for merch sales, so that was a nice bonus. The city seems very pleased, and customers all were smiling and happy. I was waiting for complaints, but other than we need more trash cans and bike parking, those were the only negative comments I heard.”

Mark Themig, director of the Community Services Department that oversaw the remodel and reopening of the Pavilion, said he too had heard about the need for more bike parking. “We waited to order bike racks until we have a better feel for how many bikes we should plan on accommodating and where the bike racks could be installed,” he said.

“It was also a great way to welcome a broad segment of our community into their new event center,” he continued.

“Partners like the farmers’ market and Vamos North Bay are going to be really important in helping us to activate the space.”

The Healdsburg Farmers’ Market was only the first of the day’s events, with Vamos al Tianguis following from 4-9pm with Aztec dancers and Oaxacan foods. Combined with the following day’s Housing and Resources Fair, the Pavilion is providing a venue for the full expression of our community.

SMART

— Continued from page 1

located on Hudson Street. Though the depot building will be somewhat renovated, that’s a City of Healdsburg responsibility; SMART itself will build the platform and access for its services.

One significant upgrade along the route is the railroad bridge over the Russian River, only about a quarter mile from the station location. Monday’s meeting, held at the Abel de Luna Community Center, was the first opportunity for the Healdsburg community to see, and to some extent weigh in on, the bridge.

Attendees who heard about the open house, primarily through social media, filtered in from about 5pm until almost 8pm, pressing the envelope of the 5:30-7:30pm meeting. They were greeted by tables of swag—blue SMART caps, stickers, schedules and flexible SMART toy cars that looked like giant erasers (but didn’t function that way).

A full spread of fruit, cookies and cupcakes, coffee and tea helped take the edge off dinner-hour munchies.

SMART personnel—including Bill Gamlen, SMART’s chief engineer, and General Manager Eddy Cumins—circulated or stood behind tables to answer questions. There was however no opening presentation and aside from a couple of handouts (in English and Spanish), little documentation for SMART’s plans.

Three bridge renderings sat on easels at the far end of the community meeting room, two of them previewing the Russian River span. The third portrayed the bridge over the intersection of Old Redwood Highway and Eastside Road, south of town near Rodney Strong Winery.

The two Russian River renderings included a through-plate girder bridge, low and sleek, and a more complicated Warren Truss bridge, whose arching supports echoed the historic design of the downstream Old Redwood Highway bridge.

Though the images lacked budget detail or other context, the little blue dots people were encouraged to apply to their favorite design clearly lined up in favor of the Warren Truss model. The existing railroad bridge includes a Warren Truss portion, and its familiarity may have led to its popularity.

The renderings included both rail and passenger walkway, part of the SMARTwide “Pathway” that will link with Healdsburg’s own Foss Creek Trail and, eventually, the Great Redwood Trail project that extends to Eureka. The SMART Pathway is projected to be a dedicated route for people to walk, bike and roll safely within and between communities.

“They attracted a very strong turnout,” said Mayor Chris Herrod, a late arrival to the open house.“Short story is that Healdsburgers are very excited about the train. It’s the talk of the town!”

Long-range financing will continue to be an issue for SMART, supported in large measure by a quarter-cent, voter-approved sales tax that expires in 2029. To continue operations—and build out to Cloverdale—a 30-year renewal of that tax is on the June ballot as Measure B.

Locally the upgrade to the Hudson Street neighborhood that SMART’s arrival portends is the City of Healdsburg’s to deal with. To that point, the city is now actively soliciting applications for a community advisory committee to work on the SMART Station Area Specific Plan. Information about the committee’s role, and an application module, are available at healdsburg.gov/StationAreaPlan.

SPORTS

All-League Greyhounds in winter sports named

● Division champs Lady Hounds have several

Staff Report

High schools are back in action after a week-long lull, occasioned by the spring break—though parochial schools still have the Easter Week hiatus to look forward to, March 29-April 4. We plan more local spring sports coverage in coming weeks.

But first a shout-out to the local preps who made it onto the NBL-Redwood coach’s All League picks for their winter sports performances. Basketball coach Cassidy Jourdan described the selection process for the top players in the North Bay League divisions, both Redwood and Oak.

“What’s impactful about these selections is that they are decided on by all of the peer head coaches in the girls league. Each girl is talked about; some advocated for stat by stat, others in a speech-like cadence. These girls selected are getting head nods from all these other coaches. It’s a special recognition.”

That list is capped by Ava Wickersham, who though only a sophomore ranked as all-league co-defensive player of the year for her work with the girls basketball team.

Meanwhile, big sister Amelia Wickersham was named to the league’s first team, while Claire Berry and Meher Dhiman, both seniors, made the honorable mention list.

“Ava was a big presence defensively with her rebounding. She also brought

that same effect to the boards offensively as well. She finds her way to the ball, running and tracking all over the gym for it,” Jourdan said. “Amelia’s performance in that championship game showed why she was selected for first-team all-league. When she shoots the ball, far more often than not that ball is going in.”

The selection process holds true for the other winter sports teams, all selected by the coaches in the league.

Boys basketball first all-league team included sophomore Teague Jasper, while Vincent Loupy and Ethan Overdorf made the honorable mention list.

In boys soccer, Xavier Garcia and Edwin Lopez were named first-team defenders, with Silvestre Castro and Mason Radelfinger on the second team.

The girls soccer list included first-teamers June Nelson and Olivia Saini, with June Sullivan and Vanessa Castro on the second team.

Five girls with the Healdsburg wrestling team made the list, including 10th grader Cecile Michener (110) on the first team and junior Serena Dimas (120) on the second team. Three received honorable mentions: Jocelyn Ramirez (105), Daysia Savage Godoy (130) and freshman Neva Ramos (235).

Only two wrestlers made the boys wrestling list, with Antonio Givens (285) on the second team and Milo Timmsen-Miller (215) receiving an honorable mention.

there. Officers responded, and the RP retrieved the property. An officer spoke with the RP’s ex-husband on the telephone and gave him advice.

7:19pm A man at Starbucks Coffee on Vine Street harassed baristas and a delivery driver. The RP said the man videotaped the delivery driver inside his truck and subsequently asked for $100 from staff to stop him from posting the video. He said the video would show that food and beverages were not stored properly. While dispatch gathered information, the RP said the man walked toward his vehicle. The RP planned to call back if the man returned. 8:40pm The RP on Healdsburg Avenue heard a person scream. Officers responded and did not find anything amiss.

LEGAL NOTICES

the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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 800-280-2832 or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 25-03265-GM-CA. 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 a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” you may be able to 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 888-264-4010, or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-03265-GM-CA 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 a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” 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 the extent that the sale is subject to Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule (31 C.F.R. Part 1031), purchaser agrees to provide all required information and further agrees to reimburse trustee for any costs, expenses or fees incurred as a result of the collection of such information *Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.
