IS ON AS

LEGISLATURE ATTEMPTS TO FINANCE DISASTER RELIEF

In a stirring display of unity, a formidable coalition of 170 groups converged on Sacramento last May to urge lawmakers to place a climate bond measure on California’s November ballot.

This bond measure, if approved, would permit the state to borrow $10 billion for initiatives designed to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Consider this: California has endured 46 extreme weather events since 1980, each causing at least $1 billion in damages. The proposed bond is seen as a vital step toward addressing these increasingly frequent and costly disasters.

Opponents of the measure point to concerns about adding to the state’s debt, particularly during a period marked by budget deficits. However, supporters argue that the bond measure is essential for securing dedicated funding for climate initiatives, especially during lean budget years. They emphasize that without this bond, critical climate projects could be sidelined due to financial constraints.

The State Legislature is currently considering two bills that would place the bond measure on the ballot. Should it pass, the bond would represent the largest voterapproved climate investment in U.S. history, with at least 40% of the funds directed toward the most vulnerable communities. This commitment ensures that those who are most affected by climate change receive the support they

SATURDAY JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION KICKS OFF 9-DAY ANNUAL FESTIVAL

By Christian Kallen

The City of Healdsburg began holding Juneteenth celebrations with the lifting of the Covid restrictions, and since then it’s also marked the kick-off of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival. The local nonprofit, which has brought worldclass jazz to this Wine Country town since 1999, always makes a point to educate and celebrate the cultural diversity that makes up America’s music, introducing a series of established jazz masters and rising stars to local stages. For this Juneteenth

event, on Saturday, June 15, educational workshops will take place on the Plaza during the 2-8pm festivities, along with no fewer than three performing bands on stage, plus jazz poet Enid Pickett and KCSM’s Greg Bridges, who will again emcee among other speakers. But it’s the musicians who will make the day. These include master trombonist Steve Turre (of the SNL band) with his sextet; a quintet featuring 89-yearold Houston Person and another saxophonist named Eric Person (called Person2Person); and a quartet called MJ New.

This last is a group inspired by the Modern Jazz Quartet, a.k.a. MJQ—but MJ New, get it? Like its inspiration, it plays a blend of classical and jazz arrangements, led by pianist Darrell Grant,

vibraphonist Mike Horsfall, drummer Cecil Brooks III and bassist Marcus Shelby, the artistic director of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival.

The Shelby Era “My interest is developing projects and programming around cultural holidays,” Shelby said. “Even outside of the festival, we have a Maya Angelou Day. Every year, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King. We always celebrate Women’s History Month somehow.” So a Juneteenth celebration is, as they say, in his wheelhouse.

Though he’s only been the Festival’s artistic director since 2020, Shelby’s association with the education and performance nonprofit goes back 14 years. During that time he played a key role teaching in the

OAK WOODLANDS PITTED AGAINST REQUEST FOR MORE PARKING

By Christian Kallen

‘Don’t it always seem to go, That you never know what you’ve got till it’s goneThey paved paradise, put in a parking lot.’

— Joni Mitchell, 1970, “Big Yellow Taxi”

Even as a 130-year-old valley oak hangs onto life in one of the city’s oldest

jazz-in-the-schools program, and he introduced one of the nonprofit’s key community programs, the Healdsburg Freedom Jazz Choir, now headed by Tiffany Austin. Shelby takes that intersection between education, community and the arts very seriously. “You know, I’m an artist,” he said. “Our education coordinator is an artist and vocalist; all of our teaching artists are running our various education programs. And so we put the artists smack dab in the middle.”

Artists First

Putting the artists first is one reason that Healdsburg has become a valued gig for the wide-ranging, globetrotting jazz artists of today.

“Jessica Felix, who founded the organization and was the artistic director for

neighborhoods, the City’s Planning Commission approved construction of a proposed parking lot at a resort on the north end of town that would remove more than 100 blue oaks.

Two weeks after the Healdsburg Planning Commission voted to approve a new parking lot at Montage Healdsburg, members of the citizen group Climate Action Healdsburg (CAH) filed an appeal that will take the decision to the City Council for reconsideration.

The formal appeal, dated June 7 (10 days after the May 28 Planning Commission meeting), was filed on Monday, June 10; the delay caused by the City’s recurring closed offices on alternate Fridays. Planning Director Scott Duiven confirmed in advance that the filing would be effective.

Ty Benoit signed the appeal “on behalf of Climate Action Healdsburg.”

22 years, left a very, very strong foundation and a roadmap for us of how we have continued,” Shelby said. “And some of that is how we have an emphasis on how we treat artists.”

The jazz giants who have found a receptive audience in Healdsburg are innumerable—Billy Higgins, Pharoah Sanders, Charles Lloyd, Eddie Palmieri, Abbey Lincoln, Charlie Haden, Ron Carter, Roy Haynes, Bobby Hutcherson and Kenny Barron, to name a few. But don’t overlook the newcomers too, like Esperanza Spaulding in 2009 and more recently, Samara Joy just last year.

“No one knew Samara Joy was going to win three Grammys between the time we booked her and the time she performed,” Shelby said. “These things you can’t

Other members of CAH who worked on the appeal included local arborist Martha Hunt and Janis Watkins, an attorney. The proposed removal is for 107 blue oak trees on a .64-acre parcel next to a current parking lot at Montage Healdsburg resort, to make room for 44 new parking spaces. These, plus another 13 “infill” spaces, will add 57 spaces to the resort’s parking area, which will then total 269 parking spaces. The problem is, blue oaks are not as large as other oak species: When fully mature, they may not even reach 24 inches DBH (diameter at breast height), yet be 250 years old. Native-plant expert Hunt points out that blue oak woodland is one of the key ecosystems of the area we all live in: Sonoma County. ➝

‘They paved paradise ...’

Of the Montage parcel, she said, “We’re not just talking about a few trees. We’re talking about an old woodland. That is a whole ecosystem, a keystone habitat. Oaks are the most important tree for habitat value. They support up to 257 species of other insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals— they are just so important.”

The Planning Commission heard the major design review for the Montage Resort Parking Lot Expansion Project on Tuesday, May 28. It was “properly” noticed, in that the agenda and accompanying packet were published five days earlier, on Thursday May 23. But as an irate former mayor Brigette Mansell pointed out during her comments at the meeting, it was poorly timed.

“They only gave us five days to read a 357-page report over the Memorial Day weekend with the FAA parade and fair. Plus, tonight’s our first Tuesday night [of music in the Plaza],” she complained to the commission.

“Look, this isn’t about tree hugging,” Mansell said. “This is about our city having a plan and noticing its public when you’re going to cut down that many trees.”

CMS

The plan she referred to, the Climate Mobilization Strategy, was officially adopted by the city in October, 2023. It states that the city values preserving trees—not just for aesthetic reasons or shade, but because old trees increase carbon sequestration, something it takes

“mitigation” trees decades to accomplish.

“The city has a climate mobilization strategy that we all work very hard on, and we worked collaboratively,” pointed out Benoit, a key member of the Climate Action Healdsburg. “We want to make sure that this is something that’s informing the decisions that are coming down from the Planning Commission and the City Council. In other words, we don’t want it to just be a document that sits on a shelf somewhere.”

In the absence of the larger onsite parking lot, Montage has asked its employees to park at the Healdsburg Community Center, in the city’s overflow parking on the south side of the facility. From there a resort shuttle takes them to work (and returns them at the end of their shift).

“The resort schedules their parking needs with us in advance and pays a daily parking lot use fee, currently $82.67/day,” said Community Services Director Mark Themig. “Their parking needs don’t conflict with our daily facility users who generally park on the north side of the facility.”

Although the commission entertained much discussion of the relative value of 57 onsite employee parking spaces versus 107 trees, in the end the major design review application passed by a 3-1 vote. However it should be noted that only four of seven Planning Commission members were present—enough for a quorum, but the “Yes” vote did not reflect a majority of the full body.

The Appeal

Following the May 28 meeting, Climate Action Network shifted into gear, gathering legal ammunition and mobilizing to file the appeal that would take the Planning Commission’s vote to the City Council.

The cost of the appeal was more than $1,600, an amount raised by contributions from members of CAH, Benoit said.

“The project should be denied,” stated the appeal. “Or, at a minimum, the council should require a supplemental EIR.” The City Council and other city offices are about to embark on a month-long hiatus for July; the next council meeting is scheduled for Aug. 5. Duiven said that due to the office closures, the appeal would be heard by the council at that Aug. 5 meeting.

“I think that we look at these oak woodlands because we happen to live in the middle of them,” Hunt said. “We begin to treat them like they are ubiquitous. And they’re not. We just happen to live in a very rich environment in which oak woodlands predominate.”

In the words of the Blue Oaks Woodlands Appeal, “CAH believes the environmental review of this project is flawed. Alternatives were not demonstrated and appropriate mitigation measures were not applied. The Addendum relies on inaccurate information in the tree inventory, misapplies EIR policies intended to protect open space, woodlands and trees, and does not address or apply current standards for protecting vital resources amidst the climate crisis.

GRADUATION

A Big Step Into Their Future

126 GRADUATES FROM HEALDSBURG HIGH INCLUDE 5 ‘FIRSTGEN’ STUDENTS

By Christian Kallen

Graduation Day means a lot to every senior who picks up his or her diploma and hears the cheers of friends, family and faculty. This year 126 such seniors left 12th grade behind to begin the rest of their lives—but for five local students, the event signified something even more special. The five outstanding seniors are called “FirstGen” students, the first generation in their families to graduate from

Healdsburg High with plans to attend fouryear universities this fall, according to information from Corazón Healdsburg.

“These students have demonstrated dedication, resilience and ambition, and are paving the way for future generations,” read the communication from Holly Fox, the

communications specialist at Corazón Healdsburg.

The graduating FirstGen College Counseling seniors are: Yuridia Hernández Velázquez (who will attend CSU Northridge); Tomás Flores Zamudio (Cal Maritime); Ariana López (Sonoma State University); Leslie García (UC Berkeley) and

Virjinia Onate Mendoza (CSU Long Beach).

The first FirstGen cohort graduated in 2019. In total, Corazón has supported 52 Healdsburg High School students to gain acceptance into the colleges of their dreams.

FirstGen helps prepare historically underserved high school students in Healdsburg to become the first generation in their families to enroll in a fouryear university through comprehensive one-onone support of the entire college application process, Fox said.

A small ceremony held at Healdsburg High on Sunday, June 9, was attended by the students, their friends and family, and Corazón Healdsburg staff.

“These young leaders have shown incredible perseverance and dedication, overcoming both personal challenges and global challenges like the Covid pandemic to achieve their dreams,” said Bianca Calderon, Corazón Healdsburg’s college and career prep program manager. “We are honored to support them as they step into their futures.”

Two days earlier, on June 7, these five and 121 other HHS seniors attended the regular graduation ceremony on the Healdsburg High School campus. The memorably hot weather lasted up through the ceremony’s

7pm start time.

Speakers included John Linker, a retiring English and AVID teacher who has taught in the district for 23 years, and students Natalie Pile and Leslie Garcia.

Once again this year, there were no valedictorian or salutatorian speeches, a practice that has fallen out of favor in public high schools in recent years, said District Superintendent Chris Vanden Heuvel.

“At HHS, students are ranked into deciles when reporting to colleges. Thus, our highestachieving students in the top 10% of their class are reported to colleges as such, similar to a class rank. This not only recognizes their outstanding achievement, but removes the ‘gamification’ and stress of trying to gain the title of valedictorian,” said the superintendent. Vanden Heuvel emphasized the educational success of the district. “And, as one of the top high schools in Sonoma County in terms of A-G completion and UC acceptance rate, we continue to have students matriculating to top universities around the country. This year’s list includes UCLA, Berkeley and Vanderbilt University.” The 126 grads included those who graduated on May 31 from the alternative programs at Marce Becerra Academy at HHS.

Charles Michael “Mike” Leone, cherished son, brother, father, grandfather and friend, departed this world on May 12, 2024 leaving a legacy of humor, adventure and wit. He was 79.

Born March 27, 1945 to Charles (Chuck) and Rose Feinberg Leone in San Francisco, Mike was a hard worker from his youth. His early exposure to the inner workings of the local newspaper blossomed from an after-school paper route into a life-long pursuit of communications excellence.

After a stint at a TV station after college, Mike spent a distinguished 50-year career leading marketing communications efforts for travel and tourism-related companies, in-house and at the helm of his own public relations firm. Through these efforts, he traveled the world many times over and developed life-long friendships with clients and co-workers alike. In particular, Mike relished his time working at Disney, where he met his wife, Patricia (Patti), and many talented people. Recently, Mike became The Travel Curmudgeon - a savvy, if persnickety, anonymous travel enthusiast who offered tips and commentary on his eponymous social media channels.

Mike will be remembered for his charm, his warmth, his voracious reading and his love of burgers. Preceded in death by his parents, brother Richard Leone, and wife Patti, Mike will be deeply missed by his adoring family, including his son Bradley (Tiffany) Leone, daughter Hilary (Greg) Angel, and his four grandchildren, who became the light of his life in later years, as well as many friends and colleagues.

A burial service will be held on Friday, June 14, 2024 at 11:30am at Oak Mound Cemetery in Healdsburg, Calif. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Mike’s honor to the Healdsburg Food Pantry or the American Cancer Society.

The first involves a singer some think could break out the way Samara Joy did last year—Jazzmeia Horn.

“Jazzmeia Horn is already highly recognized, but I think her ceiling is unlimited,” Shelby said. Horn, a repeat Grammy nominee, is the headliner with Marcus Shelby’s own Orchestra, at Bacchus Landing on Thursday, June 20.

The bond would finance a wide range of projects, including improving access to safe drinking water, promoting renewable energy and electric vehicles, restoring wetlands, aiding farmers in water conservation, enhancing flood protection, boosting wildfire and coastal resilience, and improving air quality. These initiatives are not just about protecting the environment; they are about safeguarding the health, safety and economic well-being of Californians.

Prune Packers Sweep First Week

HEALDSBURG TEAM RETURNS TO FORM WITH 5-0 SEASON START

By Cannon Fritz

The Healdsburg Prune Packers, renowned for their storied history and recent dominance in the collegiate summer baseball circuit, continued their strong performance this past week. Here’s a recap of their latest games, highlighting key moments and standout players.

The Prune Packers kicked off their 2024 season with a commanding victory over the San Francisco Seals on June 5, a game that set the tone for the week. The match, held at Rec Park, saw an enthusiastic turnout with Mayor David Hagele throwing the ceremonial first pitch.

The Packers dominated from the outset, ultimately securing a 15-1 victory. This game featured impressive performances, notably from the starting pitcher, Wyatt Tucker, who stifled the Seals’ offense effectively

Following their opening-day success, the Packers faced a more challenging opponent in the West Coast Kings Gold team on Thursday, June 6. The game got off to a strong start offensively with five runs in the first and second innings combined, while stellar defense helped the Packers secure the 6-1 victory.

Coach Joey Gomes said, “Right from the start, this group was ready to work and win.”

Continuing their momentum, the Prune Packers played a series of games over the next few days, securing victories in all against the Bercovich Baseball Club (7-1), Athletic Edge (3-2) and the Alameda Anchors (26-2). These games saw the team showcasing

its depth and versatility, with different players stepping up in crucial moments. The Packers’ pitching staff proved particularly effective, consistently keeping opposing offenses in check.

This period also saw significant contributions from returning players such as Tyler Stasiowski, Robert Aivazian and Connor Sullivan, whose performances were instrumental in maintaining the team’s winning streak

In Saturday’s game against the Athletic Edge, Logan Sutter clobbered a spectacular inside-thepark home run to add to his overall home-run total—three so far— showcasing his ability at the plate and setting high expectations for the rest of the season.

Wrapping up the week, the Prune Packers played a defensively sound game

against the Alameda Anchors on Sunday, June 9, allowing only two runs. But the highlight was on the offensive side as the Packers scored a total of 26 runs. This game was characterized by stellar pitching and flawless fielding, culminating in an overwhelming victory.

The Packers’ defense turned several double plays, and the pitchers combined for a threehitter, demonstrating their dominance on the mound and in the field. This game highlighted the team’s all-around capabilities and their potential for the rest of the season

Looking Ahead

The Healdsburg Prune Packers will continue their summer season with a busy schedule through the end of July, facing various opponents in the

newly formed Pacific Empire League (PEL). With a strong start and a talented roster, the Packers seem poised to make a significant impact this season.

Week 2 of this season’s play includes five more games, including the June 11-15 meetings with Kings Gold, the California Red Tails, Alameda Anchors and Menlo Legacy. The first PEL meeting takes place Sunday, June 16, against the Solano Mudcats. Game time is 12:30pm at Rec Park.

Footrace Sign-Ups Still Open

ANNUAL 10K ‘FUN RUN’ TO BE HELD SUNDAY

By Caleb Knudsen

Registration is still open for the 50th annual Fitch Mountain Footrace, a family fun run that can attract hundreds of locals on the challenging 10k race around Fitch Mountain.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Healdsburg, Sunrise, the Fitch Mountain Footrace raises money for scholarships to fund college and vocational scholarships for our local youth. Each year more than $10,000 in scholarships is awarded to local kids and the Live Like Drew Foundation, named for Drew Esquivel.

The run takes place in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, in the little town we know as Healdsburg. Both the 10k and 3k courses begin and end at the Healdsburg downtown Plaza, near event

co-sponsor Healdsburg Running Company (HRC).

The 10k course travels through north Healdsburg neighborhoods and then takes a right to head up Powell Avenue, around Fitch Mountain along the Russian River. After circumambulating the 994-foot landmark, the 10k run returns to the Plaza for the finish.

The 3k course is a fairly flat in-town loop, perfect for joggers or walkers, and families with young kids and/or dogs. This year the race codirectors are two members of the Healdsburg High track team, Jake McWilliams and Kaeden Anderson. Together they introduced a high school division for a more competitive experience for their friends, according to an HRC post. Registration fees are $30 for the adults running the 10k, $15 for 12 years and younger and all 3k runners. More information and registration is available at www.fitch10k.com.

Arthur L. Day, director of the Geographical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institute, Washington, D.C., left here Friday for the volcano Kilauea, in the Island of Hawaii, after 10 days at The Geysers. Dr. Day, with Dr. Eugene T. Allen, has been conducting an exhaustive research at The Geysers, examining gas composition, soil, chemical nature of the ground, etc., in the interests of the Geographical Laboratory. Dr. Day will return from Hawaii in about a month to resume

the research work at The Healdsburg Geysers.

The vast amount of equipment, including many odd types of instruments, is being kept at The Geysers, for it is planned to put in a year of research work there, extending the investigations to other parts of the state. Dr. Allen and John D. Grant will make a two weeks’ tour of Lake and Napa to investigate formations laying about The Geysers and having a hearing upon conditions at the northern Sonoma County wonder spot.

Catholic Church Confirms Purchase of Tribune Building for School

Authorization to purchase the Tribune building, corner of Fitch and Tucker Streets, by the St. John’s

DFLASHBACKS

PRE-ROUNDABOUT The stoplight at the corner of Mill Street and Healdsburg Avenue, installed in 1974, was replaced by the roundabout in the 21st century.

Catholic Church was confirmed this week by the San Francisco Diocese. Present indications are the transaction will be consummated within the

next few days. At the same time, the building committee of the local Catholic Church announced plans to establish a parochial school in the building now

occupied by the Tribune using St. John’s Auditorium as a supplementary school building. Sale of the Tribune building by Robert and

DR. L. MARTIN GRIFFIN, JR

r. L. Martin Griffin, Jr, passionate advocate for the natural world, died at home on May 22, 2024 in Belvedere, California, two months shy of his 104th birthday. His long life was dedicated to the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, which he recognized as intrinsic to human health and well-being. Defending coastal wetlands ahead of his time, “Marty” was known as “the doctor with mud on his shoes.”

Born July 23, 1920, in a cabin on the Ogden River in Utah, Marty grew up with early sensory memories of the cool desert canyon, murmuring waters, and the fragrance of willow, sage and trout. His father and namesake Loyal Martin taught Marty and his brother Bob to fly fish and to explore the wilderness. His mother Frances taught him to stick with his education and projects, while instilling the importance of family.

Marty joined the Boy Scouts when the family moved to Oakland after the Great Depression. He credited his troop leader, “Bugs” Cain, an entomologist, for sparking his desire to study nature. Marty became an Eagle Scout and his famous “knot board” display won the troop competition. He visited the Sierras, Yosemite and Mt. Tamalpais, where he saw for the first time the “sparkling Bolinas Lagoon dotted with white birds.” He also saw his Scout Camp in the Oakland hills sold to developers. As a young man, Marty and a friend hiked the entire length of the newly established John Muir Trail in the High Sierra. His letter to his mother describing their adventures is a family treasure.

As an undergrad, Marty studied zoology and botany at UC Berkeley. He worked in the Richmond shipyards before the war and served as a Captain in the US Army Medical Corps at the SF Presidio as part of his medical training. He earned his M.D. from Stanford in 1946, where he met and married his first wife, Dr. Mary “Mimi” Murray. Moving to Marin County, they raised four daughters, Linda, Anne, Carol, and Joan. Married 25 years, Mimi and Marty and the girls camped, hiked, swam, and skied. They visited Hawaii in ‘59, Canada and Alaska in ’62, and traveled to Europe in ’63 to live for a year in Florence. Their home in Kentfield was a-bustle with Girl Scouts and boyfriends, neighbors, and pets. Marty had a private practice and made house calls, often prescribing walks in nature to his patients. He was a founding doctor of the Ross Valley Medical Clinic, Chief of Medicine at both Marin General and Ross Hospitals, and was instrumental in the development of The Tamalpais retirement community.

In 1957, Marty’s neighbor and patient, the legendary activist Elizabeth Terwilliger, along with the prominent conservationist Caroline Livermore, recruited him to help protect Tiburon’s Richardson Bay from fill and development. The wetlands were saved by a strategic 900-acre purchase which became the Richardson Bay Audubon Sanctuary. From this experience, Marty learned effective collaborative action, political engagement, and fundraising, to which he added his medical skills of diagnosis and treatment to solve environmental ills.

In perhaps “the most important grass-roots conservation effort in the nation” (Harold Gilliam), Marty, as President of the Marin Audubon Society, led the effort to halt a 1961 development plan to turn Highway 1 into a 4-lane freeway, dredge Bolinas Lagoon for a marina, and build large housing tracts on the east side of Tomales Bay. Marty, along with Stan Picher and others, raised the money to buy a 1,000-acre property on Bolinas Lagoon that became the Audubon Canyon Ranch. It was recently renamed the Martin Griffin Preserve of ACR in his honor. The conservationists continued to purchase properties and were able to stop the freeway, protect Bolinas Lagoon and Tomales

July 23, 1920 – May 22, 2024

Bay, and thus create a gateway to what would soon be established as the Point Reyes National Seashore.

In 1973, Marty lent his skills to a successful effort to overturn a development-oriented Marin County General Plan and replace it with one that preserved open spaces in West Marin. That same year he ran for and won a seat on the Marin Municipal Water District Board. He was the swing vote that put in place a moratorium on water hook-ups for large developments during the drought and water shortage of the mid-70’s. His critics accused him of trying to control urban growth with water, a charge he didn’t deny as he fought to protect watersheds.

Having bought a ranch on the Russian River in 1961, Marty moved to Sonoma County in 1974 and was briefly married to Martha Reeves. He restored the 100-yearold hops-drying barn and turned it into a winery. Hop Kiln Winery with its award-winning wines and historic buildings became a Sonoma County landmark. In 1988, Marty married Joyce Welch, a teacher and head of the English Department at Santa Rosa Junior College. As a writer, artist, and activist, Joyce supported Marty’s ongoing conservation efforts. Together they traveled the world and held many events at home, entertaining friends, family, and colleagues.

Returning to UC Berkeley at age 50, Marty earned a Master’s degree in Public Health. He then worked for 15 years as the Public Health Director at Sonoma State Hospital. As chairman of the State Hepatitis B and AIDS Taskforce, he developed protocols to prevent the spread of Hepatitis B among patients and employees across the State Hospital system, which was then used for AIDS prevention. For this outstanding effort, the State of California presented him with the Gold Medal for Superior Accomplishment. The UC Berkeley School of Public Health has honored his donations and achievements by creating the Martin and Joyce Griffin Terrace Garden in the newly built School of Public Health, celebrating its opening for his 100th birthday.

At the same time as running the winery and working at the State Hospital, Marty led a valiant crusade to stop the rampant gravel mining in the Russian River. The mining was destroying the aquifer and riparian ecosystem, and endangering the salmon and steelhead. It took many lawsuits and over 30 years to halt the mining. By stopping gravel extraction, the drinking water source for more than 600,000 people in Marin and Sonoma was protected.

Over the years, Marty worked with legions of conservation collaborators and founded several groups

including the Environmental Forum of Marin, the Environmental Action Committee, the Russian River Task Force, and the Russian Riverkeeper. He also received multiple awards and honors, too numerous to mention here. His 1998 book “Saving the Marin-Sonoma Coast, The Battles for Audubon Canyon Ranch, Point Reyes and California’s Russian River” is written with wit, drama, and clarity, and has become a vivid testament to nature conservation in the 20th century. This book inspired the film “Rebels with a Cause,” which portrays Marty and numerous environmentalists. The book can be downloaded from his website, www.martingriffin.org.

In 1990, Marty and Joyce donated a 44-acre conservation easement along the Middle Reach of the Russian River to the Sonoma Land Trust, establishing the Griffin Riparian Preserve. When the winery sold in 2004, they also gifted a 23-acre easement to the neighboring Bishop’s Ranch, an Episcopalian retreat center, thus preserving the riparian and oak woodland habitats of Griffin Creek and Gina’s Orchard. To honor Marty’s granddaughter Gina who had died at age fifteen of leukemia, Marty and Bishop’s Ranch worked together to create the Gina’s Orchard Watershed Education Program so that school children could experience the wonder of nature along the creek and learn about watersheds, ecology, and land use.

Marty and Joyce moved back to Marin, making their home in Belvedere. He picked up the accordion at age 90, learning to play many old favorites by ear and entertaining guests. With countless friends and admirers, there were always people stopping by. Vivacious, humorous and fun, he credited his long life to taking care of his teeth, swimming, and “good clean living!” He had so many stories to tell, sharing his infectious spirit and enthusiasm for life. Marty never lost sight of the importance of family, hosting many gatherings with relatives from near and far. In his last decade he could be relied upon to say, “I’m in pretty good shape!” or, “Oh, to be 90 again!” In the final years, with his longtime assistant Jocelyn Knight, Marty remained a fierce environmental advocate, waging a campaign to end commercial ranching operations within the Point Reyes National Seashore.

His family wishes to especially thank his daughter, our beloved Joanie, for her many years dedicated to supporting Dad’s medical needs, as well as his social and travel interests. Also, much gratitude to our caregiver team, Veronica, Lynne, Mary, Rigo, and Marty’s friend Jude.

Dr. Griffin is survived by his wife, Joyce Griffin and their little dog Sophie, of Belvedere; four daughters, Linda Griffin Henke of Salinas, Anne Lynn Oliver (Daniel) of Aptos, Carol Griffin of San Rafael, and Joan Griffin of Novato; five grandchildren, Casey Monaco (Shannon) of Santa Rosa, Steve Markgraf (Leah) of Oakland, Greg Lynn (Molly) of San Francisco, Erika Schiller (Rob) of Oakland, and Kira Kull of Los Angeles; four great grandchildren, Tyler and Jordan Monaco of Santa Rosa, and Freddy and Penny Schiller of Oakland. He also leaves his niece, Lori Griffin of Inverness, and nephew, Jim Griffin of Seattle; stepson, Brian Nielsen (Cynthia) of Santa Rosa, and step granddaughter, Andria Reuting (Nick) of Omaha. He was predeceased by his parents, Loyal and Frances Griffin, former wife, Dr. Mary M. Griffin-Jones, beloved brother Robert Griffin, and dear granddaughter Gina Monaco.

Gifts can be given in his name to Audubon Canyon Ranch and/or The Bishop’s Ranch. There will be a public Celebration of Life in the fall, date to be determined, at the Martin Griffin Preserve, Audubon Canyon Ranch.

new newspaper building. It was not determined whether the new parochial school would be ready for occupancy by the beginning of the 1949 school year.

One member of the St. John’s building committee opined the school could not possibly be ready until the end of the first term of the 194950 school year, or possibly the beginning of the 1950 school year. A preliminary poll conducted by the church showed enrollment at the new parochial school for the first year would be ample to conduct classes in all primary grades. Plans were still incomplete as to whether the school would embrace grades one to four, or one to six.

Instructors for the new parochial school will be Sisters from an Order of Teaching in the eastern part of the United States.

Here’s a Switch Traffic should flow more smoothly at the Healdsburg Avenue-Mill Street intersection since the new traffic signals began working this week. At least the poor souls caught trying to make a left turn from Mill Street will have a fighting chance now. The signals will allow traffic to flow north and south on Healdsburg Avenue as long as no cars approach from Mill Street. Left-turn lanes are provided on both streets. The city expects the brick laying in the traffic islands to be finished by the end of this week.

The Flashbackers are Stan Becker and Carol Peterson, volunteers for the Healdsburg Museum and Historical Society.
