CLIMATE MOBILIZATION STRATEGY KICKS OFF GHG EFFORT

MEETING TO ‘TAKE THE TEMPERATURE’ OF HEALDSBURG CLIMATE ACTIVISM

By Christian Kallen

Twain’s most famous aphorism is that “Everybody talks about the weather, but no body does anything about it.”

Turns out that’s not strictly true. Since the mid 19th-century, if not before, everybody has been doing something about the weather, but not in a good way. The greenhouse gas emissions that most of the industrial world creates through internal combustion engines, factory farms and other fossil fuel uses have been “doing something” about the weather by cre ating atmospheric pollut ants, which accumulate as greenhouse gasses that have raised the temper ature of the Earth—and continue to do so.

The City of Healds burg, like other jurisdic tions in Sonoma County, California and elsewhere, has made it a civic policy to mitigate against green house gasses, to the extent a city can. The county’s Regional Climate Protec tion Authority (RCPA) was formed in 2009 to coordinate climate pro tection efforts among Sonoma County’s nine cit ies. Their 2016 target was to achieve county-wide reductions in greenhouse gasses (GHG) by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030, and 80% by 2050.

These goals were updated in 2021, when their Climate Mobiliza tion Strategy (CMS) called for more aggressive goals, including carbon neutral ity by 2030 (GHG reduc tions at 80% below 1990

‘Art of Eating’ Movie on the Menu at Little Saint

MFK FISHER CELEBRATED IN NEW FOOD DOC

By Christian Kallen

M.F.K. Fisher, one of the premier wine writers of the past 100 years, lived the last 20 years of her life in So noma County, near Glen Ellen. Everyone who was anyone in cuisine— Jacques Pepin, James Beard, Alice Waters, Julia Child—made the pilgrimage to visit her at the Last House, the small cabin off Highway 12 where she lived between 1971 and her death in 1992.

Her influence in cuisine remains strong even now, 30 years later. Mary Fran ces Kennedy Fisher’s witty, polished prose brought food appreciation to life in books such as Consider the Oyster, How to Cook a Wolf (written during the war years, when rationing was

common), The Gastronom ical Me, With Bold Knife and Fork and many others. Several of them were col lected in The Art of Eating, which serves as the title of a new documentary on her life and influence that will be presented upstairs at Little Saint on Sunday, Dec. 11.

Director Gregory Bezat and producer Gary Meyer, co-founder of Landmark Theaters, along with Chef Kyle Connaughton of Sin gleThread, will talk about the making of The Art of Eating and the impact Fisher had not only on the Sonoma community but the larger food industry and cooking itself. As she says in the film, “People ask me why I write about food. The easiest answer is that,

like most humans, I am hungry. But there is more than that.”

The film is in its first round of screenings, its premiere having been held at the Mill Valley Film Fes tival in October. The Dec. 11 screening at Little Saint will be followed by a din ner from Chef Bryan Oli ver, inspired by Fisher’s essays and this time of har vest and connection, along with wines paired to share a story of her journey.

Although the menu for the Sunday screen ing isn’t yet available, Chef Oliver said, “The menu is going to take inspiration from Fisher's writings dur ing her time in France and in California, along with SingleThread Farm’s cur rent harvest.”

The event will begin at 4:30pm, and conclude about 8:30. Tickets are $225 per person, plus tax and gratuity, with a portion of the ticket going towards the making of the film. To order tickets, visit littlesainthealdsburg. com/happenings/an-evening-with-mfk-fisher.

CITY COUNCIL USHERS IN A NEW ERA

OLD GIVES WAY TO THE NEW IN HISTORIC SWEARING IN CEREMONY

By Christian Kallen

One of the most signif icant city council meet ings this year was held Monday night. The Dec. 5 meeting began with a farewell to a long-serv ing city officer and ended with the swearing in of a new council that included the city’s first Black coun cil member. The chang es foreshadow that a new era may be dawning in

Healdsburg.

Jerry Eddinger, who has been in city pub lic service since 1976, stepped down from his most recent post as a planning commissioner to end a 48-year term of service for the City of Healdsburg. Dur ing that period, he has served on the city council three times, as well as the Design Review Council, the Green City Commit tee, the Central Healds burg Avenue Committee and, most recently, the Planning Commission, from which he stepped down last month.

Though he appeared taken aback by the pos itive warmth shown by Councilmember Evelyn Mitchel and other council members and the rousing ovation he received—the council chambers were full to bursting with the

“Friends of Jerry” who have worked with him in his contracting business. Eddinger evidently did not have a speech pre pared, and his remarks were brief.

He later told the Tribune that, “Had I thought about what to say, it would have been thank you to my family and friends for helping all these years to make Healdsburg the place where we want to be.”

He then said he was by no means retiring from his job as a general con tractor for over 50 years.

“I love what I do and the people I get to do it with,” he added.

On his way back through the applaud ing audience at coun cil chambers that night, he stopped to shake the hand of Ron Edwards, a newly-elected member of the city council, as he had earlier congratu lated Chris Herrod, also a new councilmember elected last month.

Also recognized by the council was the retirement of Tina Tret tin, who has worked with the city as administrative

technician for over 20 years.

New Blood

Two hours later, after hearing city business, including new garbage and recycling rates, a quarterly financial up date, an agreement with Corazón Healdsburg in an amount not to ex ceed $40,000 for “com munity outreach and support services to the Latino/a/e communi ty,” the 2022-2024 city council was sworn in. It included two new members—Chris Her rod, a longtime member of the Parks and Recre ation Commission and a Healdsburg native, and

“But as you know, I would like to be recog nized by the hard work I put in, but also not over looking the possible his torical significance that might inspire others to break barriers,” he told the Tribune

The hard work he spoke of was going doorto-door on every street in Healdsburg over a nine-week period, 125 miles in 61 days. “It was an incredible process of walking this town, to really take that as a job interview,” he said.

The legwork paid off.

When all the ballots were counted and final num bers released on Friday, Dec. 2, Edwards’ total of 2,095 votes edged out Brigette Mansell’s 2,042. It was the narrowest margin for a city coun cil seat since 2016, when Mansell herself defeated Jerry Civian by 40 votes.

Farewell to Ozzy Before the new council was sworn in and seat ed, Ozzy Jimenez stepped down from his role as councilmember and, for the past 14 months, may or of Healdsburg.

He was appointed in the wake of Leah Gold’s resignation in June, 2020, amidst contro versy over her dismissal of the Black Lives Mat ter movement. She said when she stepped down, it was to give a person of color the chance to take over the role on the then all-white city council.

Jimenez proved to be that person, and his calm, confident man agement of city busi ness as mayor of Healds burg was recognized by his fellow councilmem bers and the public on Monday night. With his appointment as a coun cilmember in August, 2020, and later mayor, the 33 year old became

OZZY JIMENEZ

the first openly LGBTQ+ Latino in the city’s 165year history to lead the local government agency. Both councilmem bers Mitchell and David Hagele offered their thanks and apprecia tion for what Jimenez brought to the council; then it was Jimenez’s turn. “I really truly enjoyed working with my colleagues up here, and it’s been such a won derful experience and it has really changed my life,” he said.

“It’s been an honor to be your mayor this past year and to have fin ished my full term in these Council Cham bers. I feel complete and content of my work,” he said. “Never in my life did I think I would ever be mayor of the City of Healdsburg.”

At the end of the eve ning, the new council voted without dissent to elect Ariel Kelley as mayor and David Hagele as vice mayor. The two new councilmembers— Chris Herrod and Ron Edwards—sat beside the recently re-elected Eve lyn Mitchell, Hagele and Kelley on the long maple dais of the Healdsburg City Council, ready to guide the town into 2023.

WINDMILLER’S

CRUX TURNS 15 THIS YEAR

By Michael Giotis

At times, Sonoma Coun ty seems a sleepy little rural county, a region al center almost by ac cident, built through decades of accumulated suburbs.

At other times, it feels loud as hell, especially when folk-punk rock bards The Crux are play ing. This year, The Crux turns 15. It also happens to be the 40th birthday of singer, songwriter, gui tarist and art-scene cata lyst Josh Windmiller.

I sat down with Windmiller for a chat under the condition that I wouldn’t embarrass myself, but screw that. You see, I am a HUGE fan of the band and his. It has taken me years to stop bouncing up and down in his presence. Now that I’ve calmed down, it feels that we are becoming friends. I suspect a lot of artists around the region feel that way.

Indeed, Windmiller is more than a frontman of the most interesting band in the North Bay. He is a dedicated profes sional community orga nizer whose efforts have brought such jewels to Sonoma County as the Railroad Square Music Festival and the Lost Church, both endeavors that lift up local artists, expanding the available

cultural options for res idents of the city. This whole ethos is baked into the wacky-weird beauty of The Crux.

Traveling Band That Stays Home

It might help to get a picture of the band in action, lest my praise come off as hyperbole to the uninitiated, the unconverted, the not yet saved. With the full band playing in the pure white of a gospel choir while clanging away on the full range of Ameri cana instruments, some possibly hand-made in ventions, Windmill er has indeed been on stage in character as a snake oil salesperson, a frontier preacher and a contortionist starting shows chained in a box below center mic. These are factual descriptions, y’all.

My personal favor ite incarnation is the old west circuit gospel faith healer, supposedly just rolled into camp to uplift the poor souls of the audience. As Windmiller booms a sermon between tunes, lost souls stagger up from the audience to place their foreheads into his outstretched hand and “Hallelujah!”, they are healed and raise their voices to the heav ens before joining the band on stage. This is how the backup singers are introduced, through the grace of God.

Throughout the show, members join and leave the set. “The original

idea behind The Crux in many ways was inspired by the idea of a traveling show,” Windmiller told me. “The idea of rotat ing groups of people is important to that. [Our shows have] that feeling of momentum. I want, when people go to a Crux show, to feel like they're transported somewhere.”

Sonoma County Arts

In a way, momentum is what Windmiller’s work is all about.

Even though he has a fascination with the idea of travel, Windmiller said, “There's something about my approach to the arts that's very much rooted in the local.” That contrary nature shows up in The Crux. “It's at one point about characters and stories and move ment, while at the same time, you know, being about your neighbors and your neighborhood.”

Indeed, The Crux began all those years ago in neighborhood living rooms and barns around Sonoma County, shows where the bound ary between the audi ence and the players was a permeable thing.

It was the kind of scene at the time that seemed a launching board to that travel, the movement elsewhere, yet was rooted right there in Sonoma County. “Some times it's been hard to reconcile. I never really planned on being, you know, in Sonoma County all the time.”

Yet, Windmiller’s presence is foundational in the local music scene. As development direc tor of the Lost Church, and founder of the Rail road Square Music Festi val in Santa Rosa, he has poured his heart, soul and sweat into build ing momentum for art ists and concert-goers in Sonoma County.

For those not yet familiar with the Rail road Square Music Fes tival, the annual event pulls in 6,000 attendees to see dozens of bands right in the square.

“One of the main things behind the Rail road Square Music Fes tival is to make a music festival that you could wander into by accident,” said Windmiller about the free event. “We try to make it as accessible as possible.”

Venue Guy

The Lost Church, tucked away in the back of the Press Democrat building on Ross Street at Men docino Avenue in San ta Rosa, is a funky little spot custom built for in timate shows. A branch of the Lost Church nonprofit out of San Francis co, the venue exists for the purpose of maintain ing the sustainability of a community stage that is open and accessible to the community.

“I never thought I'd be a venue guy,” Wind miller laughed ner vously. “Venues are such a big task.” Pulling on his antiquely-styled beard in thought, he noted that these days it seems that music is so often tied to events, rather than just a thing to go out and do.

Having music just in bars and clubs that play until midnight is not going to work for a lot of people, especially fami lies with young children. Windmiller and the teams behind the Lost

Church and the Railroad Square Music Festival are committed to being more inclusive. Shows at the Lost Church are all ages and always end by 10:30pm.

Time to Celebrate

To have a band with a strong local following for 15 years is quite a feat. “It's nice to have a his tory,” said Windmiller. “We've created a history together, and we're grow ing together.”

The show at the Mystic will feature the return of

co-founder and early days co-lead singer Tim Dixon, and of course a rotating cast of local music char acters gathered to cele brate the achievement of these beloved local folkpunk freaks.

“I’ve just had the for tune of working with incredible musicians and artists of all kinds,”

said Windmiller, reflect ing on the depth of the local scene and his roots in Sonoma County. “I’ve tried to live this life the way I want to. I’ve [con sidered] moving a few times, but then, you know, before I can pack my bag, I’ve got [to run to] a coffee date with a local piano player. “

The Crux plays with La Gente SF at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma on Dec. 17. Tickets available online at mystictheatre.com. Learn more about the Lost Church at thelostchurch.org.

GREYHOUNDS TAKE HONORS, STREAKS GO ON, REIBT

COMES HOME

By Christian Kallen

REIBT? No, it’s not the sound a frog makes, but an acronym for Redwood Empire Invitational Bas ketball Tournament, the oldest continuous bas ketball tournament in Northern California, held in Healdsburg since 1949.

The four-day tour nament began Wednes day evening with games at both Smith Rob inson Gym and East Gym, starting at 5pm on Wednesday, 6pm on Thursday and 4:30pm on Friday. The champi onship games are Sat urday, Dec. 10: Boys championship game at 6:30pm, girls at 8pm,

both games at Smith Robinson.

Competing in the tournament will be teams from Kelseyville, Arcata, Middletown, JustinSiena, Fortuna, Ukiah and McKinleyville, as well as host Healdsburg.

All-League Players

Healdsburg High stu dent athletes were honored with sever al “players of the year” awards this fall season, as noted last week. How ever, there was an over sight: Theresa Helfrick was named Co-Player of the Year in girls volley ball, capping her senior season with a significant honor.

“She was the heart beat of the team and the captain of the ship,” said Coach Richard Mitts. “Both on and off the court, girls looked to her for strength and assistance… (the) type of player that can pick up a

trick or technique after being taught it once and then can go on to teach the other teammates immediately after. Gen uinely can’t say enough great things about her.”

Helfrick shared the Player of the Year honor with Kylie Lopes of Ran cho Cotate. The Healds burg girls ended the season in a tie for second with a 7-3 league record; Rancho Cotate was first with a 10-0 record.

Other Healdsburg players singled out included senior Cameron Pippi, League Defen sive Player of the Year in football; Runner of the Year for Kaedan Ander son, a sophomore; and girls golf Player of the Year, sophomore Tehya Mitchell.

Winning Streaks

Since the Tribune ran a story on the thenundefeated Healdsburg

Girls Basketball team, they suffered their first loss on Nov. 29, falling to Middletown by a heartbreaking 49-48 score. But they followed it up with a 59-32 victory over St. Jo seph Notre Dame (Alam eda) on Dec. 3. They are now 8-1 going into this weekend’s Redwood Em pire Invitational Basket ball Tournament here in Healdsburg.

The Lady Hounds are not the only Healdsburg

team on a roll, however.

The boys basketball team is also without a loss, now 5-0 against their early season opponents.

The girls soccer team won their first match on Dec. 1 against St. Helena, 2-1, and met Santa Rosa’s Elsie Allen on Tuesday.

Boys soccer is also without a loss so far, standing at 3-0 with wins over St. Helena, Cardi nal Newman and in Tues day’s match against Piner.

ABOVE THE CROWD Theresa Helfrich (3) of the Healdsburg Greyhounds was named Co-Player of the Year in volleyball for the 2022 season for the North Bay - Redwood league.

A Tale of Two Trees

The Plaza’s tree is 43 feet tall and hails from Oregon. The sign next to the tree tells its story. Left in the forest as a 10-yearold sapling unworthy of being cut, it found itself basking in sunlight and growing quickly. The for ester also found it and decided to trim it to become “Our Tree,” as the sign says.

“Our Tree” is a white fir (Abies concolor) cut at about 30 years old. It has 4,000 lights and 500 ornaments. Surrounded by “big box” presents, with a backdrop of green lights, it attracts strollers bundled up during chilly winter evenings.

The rain from earlier in the day creates natural ornamentation on adja cent trees with twinkling

City’s Rockefeller Cen ter. Each tree from Rock efeller Center is donated to Habitat for Human ity yearly. Cut into 2x4s and 2x6s, they are repur posed to build homes for those less financially able.

Habitat for Humanity’s headquarters in Atlanta obtains a board from each tree, which gets built into a memorial wall embla zoned with an imprint of the year that it was NYC’s Christmas tree.

Trees from Rocke feller Center originated and built homes for Hab itat for Humanity in the following places, respec tively: 2009 Easton, CT and Stamford, CT; 2010 Mahopac, NY and New burgh, NY; 2011 Miffl inville, PA and Philadel phia; 2012 Flanders, NJ

Fun fact: Each tree from Rockefeller Center is donated to Habitat for Humanity yearly.

and Madison, NJ; 2013 Shelton, CT and Bridge port, CT; 2014 Hem lock, PA and Philadel phia; 2015 Gardiner, NY and Newburgh, NY; 2016 Oneonta, NY and New burgh, NY; 2017 State College, PA and New burgh, NY; 2018 Wallkill, NY and Newburgh, NY; 2019 Florida, NY and Newburgh, NY; 2020 Oneonta, NY and Los Angeles.

Let’s hope “Our Tree” is similarly re-used for good purpose, not just in dec orating the Plaza. Also, nice to see digital trees coming into greater use, hat tip to Healdsburg Community Church.

Climate Mobilization

levels by 2030, and car bon sequestration for the remaining 20% of emissions).

That’s quite a bit to take on, but there’s a role for every segment of the population, including community and regional action, state and fed eral. It starts at the local level. At their Oct. 17 meeting, the Healdsburg City Council approved a Climate Mobilization Strategy to implement projects, programs and operations that contrib ute to GHG reduction.

Kickoff Meeting Monday, Dec. 12, the city is launching the public phase of their Climate Mobilization Strategy with a 6pm town hall at the Healdsburg Commu nity Center. The event will include a project overview and an interac tive feedback session for participants.

“We’ll also soon be launching a commu nity survey to gather ideas from community members,” according to Andrew Sturmfels, the assistant city manager who is overseeing the project.

“Post-kickoff, we’ll be working with com munity groups, and con ducting additional pub lic outreach (meetings, surveys, etc.) to gain feedback throughout the process. The final plan will be presented to council for feedback and eventual adoption,” said Sturmfels.

The kick-off event will be managed by Rincon Consultants, which in November was con tracted to develop a CMS for Healdsburg. Rincon is an environmental consultancy firm based in Ventura with offices throughout the state, experienced in helping communities develop climate strategies in doz ens of California cities.

“The ultimate deliv erable is a living, strate gic document that lays out actions both the city and community can take to reduce GHGs and be more resilient in adapt ing to climate change to support meeting RCPA’s GHG reduction goals,” Sturmfels told the Tri bune. He hopes for a final adoption by the city in June, 2023.

Earth Day

Between Monday’s kick off meeting and that June deliverable, several other opportunities for public engagement in the process are planned, including surveys, pub lic meetings and stake holder meetings, and a final public workshop in May to review the draft CMS and collect com munity feedback.

Also in that time frame is Earth Day, the spontaneous yet global holiday gener ally celebrated on April 22. Healdsburg Cli mate Action, a group of engaged residents inter ested in doing what they can to support commu nity GHG reduction, is planning an event in the Plaza on Earth Day, to be called “Climate Fest.”

Members of the cli mate action group include Healds burg 2040, Indivisi ble Healdsburg's Cli mate Action Team, the Healdsburg Chapter of American Association of University Women (AAUW), AV Film Fest, Healdsburg Noon Rotary and several other local organizations, as well as Healdsburg's two appointed represen tatives on the Climate Action Advisory Com mittee for the Regional Climate Protection Authority, Stephanie Turk and Tyra Benoit.

In addition to offering words of support for the Dec. 12 meeting, Ben oit said, “We are also very encouraged that the city will be co-sponsor ing the Earth Day Cli mate Fest with us on April 22... This will be an opportunity to educate and inspire the commu nity about what we can do individually and col lectively to reduce green house gas emissions.”

“The timing of the event is ideal in the development of the strategy and will be one of many ways in which the city works to engage the community on the Climate Mobilization Strategy development,” said Sturmfels.

At the Dec. 12 kickoff meeting, several city staff will participate, including Sturmfels, utility conservation ana lyst Terra Sampson, and several city departments, including public works,

planning and commu nity services. An online survey will soon be avail able for those who can not attend the event.

Healdsburg Commu nity Center is at 1557 Healdsburg Ave. Snacks and childcare will be provided, and Spanish interpretation will also be available.

Post-kickoff, we’ll be working with community groups, and conducting additional public outreach (meetings, surveys, etc.) to gain feedback throughout the process.

OBITUARY

Deb found her passion and her life’s work in education. Deeply inspired by the simple idea “Be the change you want to see in the world,” over the course of 30 years Deb became a pillar of Sonoma’s educational community, confounding and leading New Horizon School & Learning Center, a school focused on assisting students with unique educational needs and a range of learning differences. A trusted advisor to colleagues of all kinds for many years, she also worked and taught at the Santa Rosa Junior College where her love for her work changed the lives around her.

In the early 80’s, Deb was introduced to a handsome, spunky urban planner – Rob Jacobi – and love quickly took over. The two married in 1985, had daughter Kaitlin in 1987, and the family eventually sank their roots in the Dry Creek Valley in Healdsburg, raising their girl among Zinfandel vineyards and a procession of cherished golden retrievers. She also found joy at their family home in Hanalei on the north shore of Kauai and relished time there regularly with Rob and Kaitlin.

DEBORAH ANN “DEB” GREENE-JACOBI

June 3, 1952 - November 18, 2022

Deborah Ann “Deb” Greene-Jacobi was born on Tuesday, June 3, 1952, and passed away peacefully on Friday, November 18, 2022.

Born in Chicago to Joan and Richard Greene, an only girl among four brothers, Deb’s zest and passion for life, and her quest of discovery, was apparent at a young age. Moving to California when she was four, the family found joy in the Los Angeles of that romantic age, when all in life seemed possible and getting to Disneyland meant driving through groves of orange trees.

The raw beauty of the wild mountains of northwest Idaho also called to the Greene family, and they would eventually go on to spend their summers together in their home on Williams Lake. It was in Idaho that Deb developed her deep appreciation for the natural world that she would carry with her for the rest of her life.

Spending her freshman year at San Diego State, she soon realized there were other, much more beautiful possibilities. A transfer to Sonoma State turned out to be one of her most monumental decisions as she would call Sonoma County home through all the coming years.

Deb transitioned from her career in 2007, finding a new calling as a wilderness guide leading a rite of passage programs designed to guide those going through crossroads moments. She also continued her work with youth, becoming a volunteer chef with the Ceres Community Project where she thrived and found friendship in youthful souls.

Deb went through an initial bout with cancer nine years ago. “I choose life!” she said fiercely in response to the first diagnosis, a choice which paid off well, but a recurrence presented itself in 2021. Deb fought hard and gracefully, living every day with love, dignity and gratitude right until she was taken.

Deb was a truly extraordinary woman with a truly extraordinary impact on the world.

Deb is survived by her beloved daughter Kaitlin Jacobi, rock-solid son-in-law Evan Spanogians, and noble canine Jakie Boy; brother Richard Greene and wife Celeste; brother Michael Greene and wife Alice; brother David Greene; nieces Becky Greene, Amy Killingsworth, and Joanna Faltys; nephews Nathaniel Greene and Adam Greene; members of the Jacobi family spread across the globe; and colleagues and lifelong friends who will miss her deeply. She was preceded in death by her husband, Rob Jacobi, and brother, Jeffrey Greene.

A private celebration of Deb’s life will be held for family and close friends at a later date.
