The seven candidates for Healdsburg’s three open city council seats will be on the Raven Performing Arts Theater stage tonight, Thursday, Oct. 6, in their second meeting of the election season. The AAUW (American Association of University Women) Candidate Forum and Town Hall will begin promptly at 6:30pm. Moderators will be Laura Tredinnick, president of the Healdsburg AAUW, and Marcy Flores, associate director, academic development, Corazon Healdsburg. Maryann Cavallo, another AAUW member, will be sorting the questions asked by the audience and giving them to the moderators. All three moderators live outside the Healdsburg city limits and thus cannot vote in the coming election. Spanish translation will be offered to anyone who needs it, by using a headset, with Javier Torres acting as translator. The November ballot will include four candidates for two fullterm, four-year city council seats. Voters can select two, and the top two vote getters will be elected. There is also a partial twoyear term up for election; three candidates are competing for that single seat. “Once again, we want to stress that AAUW is committed to impartiality. As an organization, we will not endorse any candidates,” said Tyra Benoit, public policy director, Healdsburg AAUW. Each candidate will have 90 seconds for an opening statement, and one minute each to respond to four questions

‘Evensong’ Pipes in Sir John Stainer ST. PAUL’S PAUL BLANCHARD TO PLAY WORKS OF 19TH CENTURY COMPOSER By Mary Southall
The music of Sir John Stainer (1840-1901) will be featured at the second in a series of free pipe-organ concerts on Sunday, Oct. 9. The concert, a choral evensong, begins at 5pm at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Healdsburg. Paul Blanchard, director of music for St. Paul’s, will play Stainer’s
“Magnificat in F major,” “Nunc Dimittis in D minor” and others, as well as Stainer’s famous anthem, “God So Loved the World.” A Choral Evensong is a service that is both played on the church’s Bigelow pipe organ and sung. The Oct. 9 event honors the feast of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a missionary to Newfoundland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Oct. 9 event is the second in the 202223 series of “Second Sunday” pipe-organ concerts presented by St. Paul’s. Michael Simpson of

HEALDSBURG HAS NEW BIKE SHARING PROGRAM CITY REPLACES ZAGSTER WITH E-BIKES FROM BIRD GLOBAL By Christian Kallen

RIDE New e-bikes are for the “Birds.”
It wasn’t that long ago that the City of Healdsburg welcomed a bikesharing service to town called Zagster, in conjunction with the thennew Hotel Trio. Spiffy new bicycles could be checked out via a cell phone app, pedaled about town and returned to the same or another Zagster station.
5pm. Admission is free. Those who cannot attend the concert may watch the livestream on Facebook, or view the concert later on YouTube. Details at the church website, www. stpauls-healdsburg.org. The idea was to reduce vehicular traffic and greenhouse gas emissions, and give the visitors a mile or so from the Plaza a chance to get there without taking up parking space. Great idea. Whether it was ahead of its time or not, Zagster went bankrupt in 2020 due to the pandemic, leaving behind hundreds of bike-share networks in communities nationwide, Healdsburg among them. When things opened up from COVID isolation, many thought it was a good idea to bring back the idea of bike sharing. So the concept is being revived and improved, and as soon as later this month a fleet of blue Class 1 pedal-assist electric bikes will be rolled out, available for shortterm rental to anyone over 18 who has the app. ➝ Bike Sharing, 4
