Ripe Rewards: SRJC recipe gives zukes zest
September 14 the Zucchini Festival takes place at the Healdsburg Farmers’ Market: zucchini decorating competitions, giant zucchini contests and zucchini car races. It is such a blast to be a part of and/or to watch. Every year Patrick would engineer his car using TinkerToys, making sure the axle of the vehicle went through the body of the zucchini.

More than 500 mysterious lung illness cases and five deaths have been reported nationwide.

Return to the Russian River
When Jake Messing stood in front of the mural he had just completed for Russian Riverkeeper on the north side of the nonprofit’s headquarters at 139 Healdsburg Ave., he had finished more than another mural. He had made a return to the source from the sea himself, like the salmon he portrayed.
