Weather forecast:
1. Watch: Maacama Ridge Blaze Scorches Area (patch.com) — Firefighters quickly contained a small vegetation fire Thursday on Maacama Ridge Road, roughly midway between Healdsburg and Geyserville, after it briefly expanded to about 5 acres. Crews, including a helicopter and hand crew, stopped its forward progress and fully extinguished the blaze by 8 p.m., ultimately limiting the burn area to just over 2.5 acres.
2. Police Log, March 30-April 5 (healdsburgtribune.com) — Healdsburg residents get a detailed look at last week’s police calls, from trespassing and graffiti to drug-related arrests and reckless driving reports around town. The log highlights activity at Healdsburg High, West Plaza Park, local motels, and several neighborhood streets, and encourages residents to contact police dispatch whenever they see something concerning.
3. Peds tread cautiously where lights once flashed (healdsburgtribune.com) — A key pedestrian crossing at Healdsburg Avenue and Plaza Street remains without its flashing warning lights more than a month after a Tesla crash destroyed the system, even as tourist foot traffic increases. City officials say repairs could cost about $55,000 and are still negotiating with the driver’s insurer, leaving pedestrians to navigate the busy intersection with extra caution for now.
4. Softball: Montgomery stuns Ukiah; Cloverdale's Bird perfect vs. Lower Lake (pressdemocrat.com) — Healdsburg High’s softball team exploded for a 19-0 shutout over St. Vincent, taking advantage of walks and errors while pitcher Mia Halvorsen allowed just one hit. The roundup also tracks league races, including Cloverdale’s perfect game and other North Bay softball showdowns that shape Healdsburg’s NBL-Redwood standings.
5. ‘All the buildings fell at once': A look at the 1906 earthquake in Santa Rosa (pressdemocrat.com) — A look back at the 1906 earthquake details how downtown Santa Rosa was devastated, with dozens killed and key civic buildings destroyed. The story also notes that Healdsburg’s new three-story Odd Fellows building was wrecked and serious ground cracks appeared along the Russian River, underscoring how widely the disaster reshaped northern Sonoma County communities.
