TOP STORIES

1) Our St. Patrick’s Day parade was as epic as ever

I didn’t make it out to Healdsburg’s famous annual St. Patrick’s Day parade on Monday morning, a local tradition that reportedly goes back more than three decades, and boy have I been suffering from a bad bout of FOMO (fear of missing out) while reviewing the footage. Healdsburg Tribune photographer Rick Tang was there, though, and you’ll be seeing a bunch of his best photos in tomorrow’s print issue of the Trib!

Here’s what went down at what has come to be known as “The Biggest Shortest Parade in the World” this year, from what I’ve gathered. Hundreds of revelers in wacky green getups, with plenty of kids and dogs in tow, lined Healdsburg Avenue just before dawn to watch the mini procession make its way toward the plaza along its quarter-to-half-mile route around 7am. (Some of them had been drinking Irish coffees at John & Zeke’s and eating Irish grub at Costeaux since more like 6am, I hear!) The parade was led by bagpiper Hal Wilkes, as is tradition. Behind him was a truck carrying the parade’s grand marshal, artist and community leader Kathy Birdsong (in the backseat), and another truck carrying the parade’s queen, young Healdsburg esthetician Cierra Hayes (in the truck bed, engulfed by a clover-green gown). Everyone watching the parade then fell in line behind it for a victory lap around the plaza. The Press Democrat posted some fun pics, including a closeup of The Wurst restaurant manager Trinity Allen’s epic leprechaun manicure. Another local in the crowd, Maggi Rose Viernes, also posted some great photos and videos in the “What’s Happening Healdsburg” Facebook group. “The parade was a blast,” she writes. “The rain stayed away just long enough!”

Healdsburg city officials did end up canceling the midday portion of their planned St. Patrick’s Day festivities because of the rain, though. A Celtic rock band called Tempest and a local dance group called the Shiloh Step Irish Dancers were scheduled to perform from noon through 1:30pm. “We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding,” the cancelation notice said. At least everyone had a better chance of going home and sleeping it off, I suppose! Here’s some lovely city footage of the Shiloh dancers doing their thing in the plaza on a sunny St. Patrick’s Day past, so you know what we missed. Anyway, there’s always next year — and judging by the way this annual holiday tradition has been growing, 2026 promises to be bigger and more boisterous than ever!

2) SingleThread’s plans for the Raven, revealed!

Ever since the team behind Healdsburg’s fanciest restaurant, the three-Michelin-starred SingleThread at North and Center streets, “signed a 25-year-lease to redevelop” the old Raven film center building around the corner in Summer 2023, the community has been wondering what they plan to do with it. In particular, a group of 60 neighbors sent SingleThread and parent company Vertice Hospitality a stern letter that summer, asking them to explain “the potential uses for your purchase.” The last time we heard anyone from SingleThread or Vertice give any public answers to this quandary was over a year ago, in February 2024, when they held a community meeting at the main Raven Theater and said they were potentially thinking about opening another restaurant and some retail space inside the old film center. But now, thanks to a new article in Cool Hunting magazine, we’re finally getting something more concrete!

The power couple behind SingleThread, Kyle and Katina Connaughton, tell the magazine that they bought the Raven in hopes of setting up a cutting-edge dining experience where diners are shown a behind-the-scenes film about how their food was made. They’re calling the experience “ThroughLine.” The Connaughtons just tested out the concept last month at a pop-up inside a fancy snow lodge in Park City, Utah, where they screened an eight-part documentary alongside a “twelve-course culinary journey,” according to Cool Hunting. Next, they’re taking their high-end dinner-and-a-movie experience to a resort in New York’s Hudson Valley in April. And eventually, the magazine reports that SingleThread plans to bring ThroughLine to the currently empty Raven film center here in town. More from the story:

SingleThread chef and owner, Kyle Connaughton and head farmer and owner Katina Connaughton began to envision this idea when the historic Raven Film Center building next to SingleThread became available in their quaint Sonoma Valley wine country town. The idea of setting up a dining space with a film screen to combine culinary and film arts sparked an inspired culinary concept.

“For us, the idea of combining a dining experience with film was born out of every day at SingleThread putting plates in front of a guest and having only 30 to 40 seconds to explain the dish and realizing that we are not able to convey the whole story,” says Kyle Connaughton. “It’s hard to just tell it verbally. What is a better way for us to bring the guests into the story of what is happening behind the scenes.” ...

Presenting a multi sensory experience with ThroughLine gives them the opportunity to communicate more layers of their story. SingleThread will bring the ThroughLine experience to Wildflower Farms on April 26^th and 27th in New York’s Hudson Valley. And eventually to a theatre in Healdsburg where they will bring their film and culinary experience home.

Some of the vignettes that the Connaughtons have been showing between courses reportedly include a meetup with a sea urchin diver in Santa Barbara, a trip to the Knights Valley Wagyu ranch here in Sonoma County and an expedition to source scallops and salmon in Japan — all filmed by a guy they “met on a backcountry skiing trip” abroad. Cool Hunting writes: “Known for his snowboarding films, Justin Taylor Smith was recently nominated for an Emmy for ‘Omoiyari,’ a song film that explores the Japanese American Incarceration during WWII.”

Tickets for the new ThroughLine experience have been going for $400-plus, according to the event info page on SingleThread’s website. Perhaps not quite the commoner-friendly experience locals were asking for in the letter they sent SingleThread and Vertice two summers ago:

“There is legitimate concern regarding Vertice's marketing audience: ultra-luxury restaurant Single Thread advertises for dinners beginning at $425. Though Single Thread restaurant is acclaimed nationally for its vision and delivery, its extremely high price points discourage middle class residents from participation. Will the hospitality concepts for these two new locations continue to market exclusivity and high-end pricing that is unaffordable to local residents and foster more hospitality imbalance in Healdsburg?”

3) The main suspect in last year’s Community Center parking-lot stabbing was just arrested in Los Gatos

Nearly a year after that frightening nighttime tire-slashing spree and stabbing in the Healdsburg Community Center parking lot, local police say they found their main suspect living under an alias in the small town of Los Gatos on the southwest edge of San Jose. Within days of the alleged attack on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, cops had named their suspect as Healdsburg resident Damian Martinez Osorio, 29. (At the time, they said he also went by the name “Gael Leon.”) Now, Healdsburg police officials say they’re “glad to be able to bring closure to this case.” More from their announcement this week:

On Wednesday March 12th, 2025 Officers arrested suspect Damian Martines-Osorio on charges of attempted murder, vandalism, and resisting arrest. This arrest came as a culmination of extensive investigation that led officers to Los Gatos where they located Martines-Osorio who was suspected of fleeing Healdsburg after the suspected attack and who was now living under another alias. Upon being contacted by Healdsburg Police Officers with the assistance of Officers from Los Gatos Police Department Martines-Osorio attempted to flee on foot and was captured while trying to jump over a fence. He was booked in the Sonoma County Jail on a no bail hold for charges stemming from this case as well as 3 other outstanding warrants. 

And here’s the original police announcement from last year:

At about 9:45 PM, Healdsburg Police received a call of a victim who had been attacked in the parking lot of the Healdsburg Community Center… by a subject with a knife. Officers learned that the victim had been sitting in his vehicle in the parking lot of the Community Center when he noticed the suspect in the parking lot slashing vehicle tires. When the victim exited his vehicle, he was confronted by the suspect who attempted to stab the victim with a knife. During the ensuing struggle the victim sustained a cut to his hand. The victim was able to get away and was chased a short distance away by the suspect, who eventually fled into the creek bed that runs along the Foss Creek Pathway. Officers were unable to locate the suspect after an extensive approximately 3 hours long search with the assistance from Deputies with the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office and CHP’s helicopter.

At one point, old police logs show the suspect may have fled to the Oak Grove Apartments on Grove Street — but officers never found him. (The logs also show four cars had their tires slashed that night at the Community Center.) The Press Democrat reported last week that Damian Martinez Osorio was being held without bail at Sonoma County jail and was scheduled to appear last Friday in Sonoma County Superior Court.

IN MEMORIAM

Doc Cummings

Healdsburg’s most familiar busker, the inimitable Doc Cummings, has passed away in his early 70s, according to friends and family on Facebook. His name was Donald O. Cummings, but he reportedly went by his initials — “Doc” — for short. I’m not sure how Doc died, but neighbors are reporting he was found dead at home. (I’ll share any updates as I get them.) Doc used to be a fixture in the plaza, where he would play his guitar almost every day — delighting groups of passing children, especially, by singing kids songs like “The Wheels on the Bus.” However, after a struggle at City Hall over the plaza “performance policy” in Fall 2023 that resulted in a more arduous permitting process for street musicians, Doc moved to a new signature spot at the entrance to Safeway. From a Healdsburg Tribune report on the struggle:

The 71-year-old Cummings said he was injured in an automobile accident seven years ago and he has found that musical performance is a kind of physical therapy. “I’ve taken two hours a day to go down there to improve my wrists and elbows so that I can get through this,” he said following the Oct. 2 City Council meeting. “I have three people, plus one musician who I haven’t seen in three years, who has brought this agenda, who threatened to bring this agenda and used the council as a weapon against me.”

In the end, city leaders decided to add red tape for plaza buskers — so Doc moved his one-man show over to Safeway. The many locals whose lives he touched are now showing up for him in force on two threads in the “What’s Happening Healdsburg” Facebook group. (Here and here.) I’ve assembled some of the most touching memories in the threads below.

• “He always sang to my little boy. He had the most beautiful smile such a beautiful soul.”

• “I used to walk to work, crossing through the plaza, he would pause mid song and give me a ‘Howdy Mister.’”

• “He always made my daughter feel so special every time we would go to Safeway... every time we would see him he always had the biggest smile on his face and his heart was so sweet.”

• “He will be truly missed. He would always sing to my baby when we would see him outside Safeway.”

• “He was such a part of our community. His positive attitude, contagious smile, and his music will be deeply missed.”

• “While some disliked his music, it was wonderful to see the little kids lighting up.”

• “The best voice in Healdsburg!”

Two of Doc’s sisters, who say they live in Maine where he’s from, have also been chiming in on the threads. Sue Cummings writes: “Thank you all for the kind words and sharing videos! Don was my brother. His passing was very unexpected. It’s so nice to see the love and appreciation for his passion. He loved entertaining, and will be remembered for his sense of humor and kindness. He was so very blessed to be a part of such a wonderful community.”

Sylvia Seventy

Another one-of-a-kind Healdsburg resident passed away earlier this month from cancer at age 77, according to the Press Democrat: local textile artist and art teacher Sylvia Seventy. The fascinating, multimedia, Pomo-inspired “vessels” she made (pictured below) became quite well-known in certain circles of the art world, and art students here in Sonoma County were lucky enough to be able to take classes from her at Santa Rosa Junior College. In fact, I once had her as my own teacher in high school, when she was teaching a J.C. class at Healdsburg High. She had a combined gentleness and spark when it came to the art that I’ll never forget. Here’s more about her life and work, from the “arttextstyle” blog:

Seventy wrote in 2011 about her relationship to papermaking. “Paper has long been an inspiration for me,” she wrote. “Paper dolls, paper Christmas tree ornaments, scrap books, pen pal letters, stamp collecting, jigsaw puzzles, photo albums, paper snowflakes, forts made of cardboard boxes and rolling head-over-toes in giant cardboard cylindrical containers down the length of the 40-foot driveway slope to crash-stop into the garage door, are all early memories of paper becoming an essence in my life.”

In 1973, when she moved north from southern California to Healdsburg, she discovered the Pomo Indian culture. She wrote of that discovery in 2012, “In my first basketry class at the local ‘Indian School,’ Mabel McKay, instructor and tribal leader, asked me if I had an awl. She showed me hers, passed down for generations. I returned to the next class with an altered antique screwdriver I turned on a grinder and then finely sanded into a very authentic awl. She was impressed, and I saw my artistic path continuing ahead of me. I still use my awl as I assemble my vessels.”

Seventy’s vessels were created over molds, earthy bowl shapes, embedded with bamboo, cotton cord and sisal. “When I started making my vessels, it soon became evident to me that the universal shape of what appeared to be an ancient pottery bowl was an approachable path for the viewer. With or without an art background, my bowls allowed people to let their guard down and be drawn into the complexity of the art vessel, its intricate interior and conceptual allusion.”
