Students’ art rises out of the ashes
When fairgoers walked into the still exhibit hall of the Cloverdale Citrus Fair, above them hung a large charcoal mural painted by seven students from Geyserville New Tech Academy. The mural, titled “Phoenix Rising,” was created in response to the students’ experiences during and following the Kincade Fire and was made using charcoal harvested from logs that were burnt on the school’s campus during the fire.

Our story thus far
The beginning of this story about this local newspaper has only been told to a few people. In 1995, the Walnut Creek-based corporation that owned this and three other local newspapers decided to shut them all down after failing to find a new corporate buyer. But, instead of abandoning the papers, the corporation accepted two separate offers from two families to each purchase half of the four papers. The Atkinson and Mays households formed Sonoma West Publishers and bought The Sebastopol Times & News and Russian River News and merged them together as Sonoma West Times & News. Tom and Beverly Reeves and their children bought The Healdsburg Tribune and The Windsor Times on the very same day as the Sonoma West transaction (May 30, 1995.) The newspapers were not only saved but they were put in the hands of experienced and dedicated newspaper people.
