MILL DISTRICT HOTEL GETS BUZZSAW TREATMENT FROM CITY COMMISSION
Healdsburg, California Healdsburg, California

HOTEL WORKSHOP BACKFIRES ON REPLAY BUT DEVELOPMENT MOVES AHEAD By Christian Kallen
Hotel Workshop
But it hasn’t been all smooth spackling for the Mill District. Last week, on Jan. 9, Replay presented a vision of a major component of the development, a 53-key hotel, to the city’s Planning Commission for review. Since the meeting was officially a “workshop,” no votes were taken or decisions were made. But the commissioners’ response to the design proposal was lukewarm at best. ➝ Buzzsaw Treatment, 6

The promises of “smalltown living” and “worldclass amenities … just steps from the Plaza” are being promoted at Healdsburg’s newest neighborhood, the Mill District. That’s what the signage says, at least, on the woodand-tin shack at Mill Street and Healdsburg Avenue, the northwest corner of the 9.6-acre development at the former Nu Forest Products, the site of the proposed hotel. “Luxury Residences Now Selling” include the 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom “Canopy” condos and penthouses, with prices listed from $1 million to $8.5 million. The company website at milldistricthealdsburg.com lists the three-bedroom flats as sold out, and the website says all units are “more than 60% sold.” The 43 condominiums at Canopy are designed by architects Olson Kundig, based in Seattle. The units are still under construction although the developer, Replay Destinations, optimistically projects that “closings” are possible this spring.
FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden is the wife of President Joe Biden, and as such holds the title First Lady of the United States. She is scheduled to be in Healdsburg on Jan. 18 for a private fundraiser.
First Lady Jill Biden to Visit Healdsburg THURSDAY FUNDRAISING VISIT TO CHIQUITA ROAD VINEYARD By Christian Kallen
A long-rumored visit by the First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden a.k.a. FLOTUS, will take place this week as she visits Healdsburg on a fundraising spin through several West Coast cities. The visit was announced earlier this week. Dr. Biden is expected to arrive at Sonoma County Airport on Thursday, Jan. 18, at about 2:15pm. From there, after a brief meeting with local press, expected primarily to be a photo opportunity, she and
her entourage will head for Healdsburg. The destination is a private home on Chiquita Road, known as Puma Springs Vineyard, to meet with a select group of about 100 prospective donors to her husband’s campaign for re-election to the presidency. “We met when her husband was vice president because we were big supporters of the Obama administration,” said Barbara Grasseschi, who with her husband Tony Crabb owns Puma Springs. On Tuesday Grasseschi dealt with the previsit attention, both from the press and the Secret Service, which has contacted her at least three times to assure security. She expects the First Lady to arrive around 3pm.
We’re all pretty much focused. We like democracy. We kind of want to keep it.” BARBARA GRASSESCHI Attending the private meeting, at which Biden is expected to say a few words but mainly interact with the potential donors, are people who Grasseschi and Crabb specifically invited. “The event is a fundraiser for her husband to be reelected,” she said. “Just that. We’re all pretty much focused. We like democracy. We kind of want to keep it.” The private meeting will probably take about an hour, perhaps a bit longer. Biden is expected to make a few comments, have a private meeting with some of the larger donors, and
stick around for pictures. “Usually, after she’s done with her comments, she likes to hang around and shake people’s hands. She doesn’t do a Q&A,” Grasseschi said. “She’d rather do the one-on-one type of thing.” Biden, 72, has a particular interest in education, as she has a doctorate in the field herself and was a teacher for over 30 years, according to her official White House biography. Among her other active interests are military and veterans’ family issues, and cancer research and prevention.
Other stops on Biden’s current fundraising swing include Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Burbank and then back to Ohio following the Healdsburg visit. Grasseschi and Crabb have been active in local causes, such as the Health Care Foundation Northern Sonoma and the Career Technical Education Foundation, during the two decades they have lived in Healdsburg. Grasseschi is on the steering committee of the Electing Women Bay Area Group, and started a Wine Country chapter in 2017.
CANDIDATE’S COFFEE KLATCH INTRODUCES CHRIS ROGERS
Rogers, 36, has served on the Santa Rosa City Council, including two terms as mayor. But when Wood, who has represented District 2 for almost 10 years, announced he would not seek re-election in the 2024 general election, Rogers was one of the first to declare his candidacy for the seat. Another candidate: Healdsburg’s own city council member and mayor, Ariel Kelley. As a well-known local presence since she joined the council in 2018—especially in the past year, when she has been the mayor—Kelley is probably the most familiar candidate of the nine running in the March primary. She claimed the endorsement of all four of her fellow council members and several other regional notables (Supervisors James Gore and Lynda Hopkins among them),
many of whom are also listed as endorsing Rogers. One name Kelley can’t claim, at least in the primary, is Mike McGuire. The influential state senator, a Healdsburg native, is lending his name to Rogers’ campaign, as are U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson and a number of other familiar regional politicians and officials—including six mayors, as Rogers slyly points out. The reason could have something to do with Rogers’ three years in McGuire’s Senate office as a staffer, working with state departments and other legislators on behalf of McGuire’s Senate district, also District 2. That geographically overlaps to a great degree with the Assembly seat Rogers now seeks, though McGuire’s extends south from Santa Rosa to Petaluma to Marin County to the Bay.

CANDACE (JONES-RODGERS) DANHAUSEN June 27, 1942 – January 6, 2024
C
andace “Candy” Danhausen passed away peacefully on Saturday January 6, 2024. She was born June 27, 1942, and lived nearly her whole life in Healdsburg, CA. where she was fifth generation. She graduated from Healdsburg High School in 1960. She was very proud of her two seventh generation granddaughters who both later graduated from HHS as well. Healdsburg was her home and she loved it. She grew up on a prune Ranch out Westside Road and moved to town during her high school years. After graduating from college, she returned to Healdsburg and taught Special Education for approximately 35 years in the Healdsburg School district where she touched the lives of many. Candace always stayed involved in Healdsburg throughout her life and was a charter member and past president of the Healdsburg AAUW. She married her high school sweetheart, Bob Rodgers, in 1963 and had two children (Kendra and Rand). She later remarried Leroy Danhausen in 1982 and enjoyed a 31-year marriage before his passing in 2013. Candace saw the writing on the wall with the horrible disease of Alzheimer’s (which she had lost her mom to in 2003 and later her sister Robin, in 2021) and decided to move to the retirement community of Spring Lake Village in Santa Rosa in July of 2017…where she said she would “never have to move again as they can care for her there if she also gets Alzheimer’s.” Unfortunately, she was right, and she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in late 2018. Candace loved adventure and would try almost anything or go anywhere. She loved traveling and enjoyed a 111-day cruise with her dear friend, Jean Short, in early 2017 where they visited 35 different countries. This was her last “big” trip, but still traveled after that to visit her Valparaiso University sorority sisters and loved taking her granddaughters to Disneyland. She loved going abalone diving and fishing with Leroy, and they always welcomed anyone to join them. For several years they owned a small cabin in Oregon on the Alsea River and loved having friends and family come up for visits. They would take them crabbing, clamming, and fishing, and then would come back to enjoy eating their catch of the day. After Leroy refused to fly anymore, she made many memories traveling with her friends to faraway places. One of her favorite trips was a trip to Africa with her lifelong friend Wanda Alary (Gren-Belli). However, her travels with Leroy didn’t stop, rather they just traveled in their motorhome or travel trailer, and one of their favorite places was Eagle Lake as well several trips to Canada and Alaska for fishing adventures. The list of Candace’s adventures and travel are truly too long to list here, but she loved them all. Candace also enjoyed playing golf, lunch with her girlfriends, and all things social. Candace was preceded in death by her parents, Bob and June Jones, husband Leroy Danhausen, and sister Robin (John) Daniel. She is survived by her children: Kendra Rodgers, Rand (Isa) Rodgers, and her stepdaughter Jennifer Danhausen. Grandchildren, Tait (Kathleen) Danhausen, Kirk (Katie) Danhausen, Mikayla Froom-Rodgers, Mackenzie Froom-Rodgers, and Peytyn Rodgers. Her brother Les (Jan) Jones; and several nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, Candy would love it if you extended an unexpected gift of kindness in her name or make a donation in her memory to www.alzfdn.org or the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of Healdsburg.

Her detailed coverage of the race and other goings on, in addition to marketing local businesses, intrigued me.

Staying Positive About the Inevitable ‘INSPIREMENT’ THE WORD OF THE DAY AT ENSO VILLAGE Weeklys Staff Report
Boomers Age Up

THERAPEUTIC Erin Partridge is the ‘Head of Inspirement’
at Healdsburg’s Enso Village.

In Wine Country, we’re used to the notion of aging—especially when it comes to wine and cheese. But when it comes to our lives, will they also improve with age? The jury is still out, and hopefully on a prolonged recess. Erin Partridge has enough letters after her name that it looks like someone spilled alphabet soup on her business card: Ph.D. and ATR-BC, which means she’s a board-certified art therapist. But beyond her clinical experience, Partridge is also a key member of Enso Village, the senior living community recently opened in Healdsburg. When asked about how the different generations embrace aging, she shut it down with both eloquence
about aging.” To that end—literally— there are benefits to be experienced while traipsing to the inevitable. “One of the biggest benefits we saw in a community project about growing older, and that I have since heard echoed over and over in practices, is the perspective and increased self-confidence that comes with more life experience. One way we might be able to better grow older is to embrace our curiosity. This was recently exemplified by a resident at Enso Village who described herself as ‘all in’ for new experiences,” Partridge says.
and wisdom. “Anti-ageism researchers and advocates suggest spending less time focusing on generational labels and more time focusing on the things that connect us. Which is a positive change!” says Partridge. She’s worked in community, pediatric, forensic and geriatric settings and has published in the areas of art therapy, arts access, eldercare, gender, research methods, professional development and technology. “Our collective experiences over the past few years highlight the harm possible from loneliness and isolation,” she adds. “With regard to fear and hope, this is another area of interesting research— a negative view of aging (in general, or about oneself ) can create poor health outcomes,” Partridge says. “As we see more examples of supportive, intergenerational communities, we will hopefully see a reduction in the negative views
Partridge’s self-created title at Enso Village is “Head of Inspirement.” She explains it this way: “One of our residents stated that they don’t want to think of it as going into retirement, but a different way of being! Inspirement is about creating opportunities for learning, curiosity and connection. It is about continuing lifelong practices and finding new interests.” Boomers in particular may need some “inspirement,” as 2024 marks the year the youngest among them turn 60. “Born between 1946 to 1964, boomers are age 60 to 78,” reminds Mindy Solkin, the founder and creator of BB Babes, the fashion, fitness and health network for baby boomer women. To that end, Solkin is marking 2024 as “The Year of the Baby Boomer Woman.” “Hitting age 60 is a milestone, somewhere between thinking about retiring, already retired or never going to retire,” she says. “Boomers are re-inventing themselves and giving back, helping themselves while they help others,” says Solkin. “I went from coaching 30-year-old runners to creating a new venture focused on bringing Local news at your fingertips every week Just $1.00!

my five decades of knowledge and experience to boomer women who want to look and feel their best at every age.” Susan Williams, RN, a senior health expert with extensive experience in gerontology and senior care, concurs. “Having redefined every life stage they’ve passed through, boomers are now redefining retirement, often seeking active, purposeful post-retirement lives,” says Williams, who is also a senior health contributor at Retirement Being, specializing in aging demographics and eldercare. She adds, “They are not just settling into traditional retirement but are exploring new careers, engaging in volunteer work and even starting businesses. Boomers view retirement as a new phase of opportunity and adventure, often focusing on personal growth, lifelong learning and community involvement.” Conversely, on the other end of the spectrum,
Williams perceives millennials’ approach to aging as a “mix of apprehension and proactive planning.” “They are more inclined to focus on wellness and preventive care from a younger age, showing a keen interest in holistic health approaches and technological innovations in healthcare. This generation is also more vocal about mental health, seeking to destigmatize related issues and incorporate mental wellness into their aging process,” she says. Common fears across these generations, according to Williams, include health decline, financial insecurity and the loss of independence. Millennials worry about the long-term impacts of their lifestyle choices and environmental factors—whereas boomers and Gen Xers often fear age-related diseases and losing the ability to care for themselves.
The Upside
“Conversely, their hopes are centered around healthy aging, maintaining
independence and having fulfilling, active lives even in later years,” Williams says. “Growing older brings many benefits, such as increased wisdom, deeper self-understanding and a clearer sense of what’s truly important in life. Seniors frequently report higher levels of happiness and satisfaction compared to younger individuals.” Williams reminds us that to age better we should all embrace a healthy lifestyle, maintain social connections and engage in lifelong learning. “It’s also important to plan for the future, including financial planning, health care and living arrangements, to ensure a comfortable and fulfilling older age,” she adds. Mainstream culture may be catching up to generational tastes. As Mary Westheimer, author of the upcoming book What Nobody Tells You About Getting Older, points out, “We finally like the music in the grocery store.”

North Coast - Redwood Race Takes Shape GIRLS WINNING STREAK AT 9 AS BASKETBALL CONTINUES INTO 2024 By Caleb Knudsen
Photos by Christian Kallen
Monday night of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, the high school gym burst with the unexpected energy of basketball players and fans for a rescheduled game with Piner High School. A scheduling conflict forced the girls teams to play on Monday night instead of Tuesday, as first announced. It didn’t seem to matter to the fans or the Lady Greyhounds, but perhaps it threw off the timing of the Lady Prospectors. Running their winning streak to nine games, Healdsburg took Piner to the cleaners with a decisive 69-20 victory, to their overall record to 18-2 and their league record to an undefeated 6-0, halfway through the season. Hannah Sellards led the scoring, not only making the first basket just seconds into the game but getting 15 points over the course of the night. She was followed by Allie Espinoza and Hailey Webb who got 12 each, though all nine members of the Healdsburg roster had playing time and scored points. Before the holiday weekend, on Jan. 11, the Healdsburg girls basketball team faced a challenging St. Vincent team in an away game, the fifth North Coast Redwood league game of the year. Although coach Jim Lago diplomatically said, “St. Vincent came at us with a scrappy, high-energy defense,” the Mustangs
proved no high hurdle for the rolling Greyhounds, who cruised to a 36-point victory, 53-17. The score was so onesided at the half, 32-7, that the Healdsburg team played most of their “talented bench” (Lago’s term) for the final two quarters, giving the less-experienced players time on the court to hone their skills in league play. Leading the scoring for the Greyhounds was Hailey Webb with 13 points, followed closely by 12 from Allie Espinoza and 10 from Ruby Leffew. It was the team’s eighth win in a row, dating back to the Dec. 8 loss to Arcata. On Jan. 20, a rare Saturday game finds Healdsburg hosting Rancho Cotate for their second meet this year. The Greyhounds won their Dec. 19 game 59-40, but Rancho is second place in the league with a 4-1 record, 10-8 overall.
UP AND IN Hannah Sellards (3) delivers another 2 points en route to a 69-20 Healdsburg victory over Piner High, on Jan. 15.
Boys Play On
On Monday, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, Healdsburg’s varsity played a non-league day game against Urban High in San Francisco, coming up short in the 59-35 final score. The boys’ next game was Wednesday night at home against the 7-10 Lobos from Elsie Allen, currently fourth in the fiveteam North Coast Redwood League. (Results too late for press time.) Friday finds the Hounds traveling north to Ukiah to face the league-leading Wildcats (15-5, 3-0 in the NCR). Their next home game is more than a week away on Saturday, Jan. 27, against St. Vincent. Tip-off is 5pm at Smith Robinson Gym, Healdsburg High.

Soccer Update: NCR League Season Underway ENTHUSIASTIC FANS AT HEALDSBURG HOME GAMES By Caleb Knudsen
Photo by Michael Lucid
Both of Healdsburg High’s soccer teams, boys and girls, are well into the North Coast Redwood league season which continues throughout January into the first week of February. The boys kicked off league play with a Jan. 9 away game against Santa Rosa, which coach Herbert Lemus described as an evenly played match between both teams. The score told the same story— the game ended in a scoreless tie. “Healdsburg had some good shots on goal, but the Santa Rosa goalkeeper did a pretty good job making the saves,” Lemus said. Two days later, on Jan. 11, the Greyhound boys faced Ukiah’s alwaysstrong team at Healdsburg High. They came up on the short end of a 3-1 final score, but it was not without some drama. The Ukiah Wildcats only had one opportunity for a shot in the first half, but
they made it count and the half ended 1-0 in their favor. The game opened up in the second half, with both teams scoring—first Ukiah 10 minutes into the half, then 12 minutes later Healdsburg’s senior forward Humberto Avalos scored with a header after getting a cross from junior midfielder Anthony Guzman, to make it 2-1. Ukiah scored again in the 30th minute, making it 3-1, but excitement followed when Healdsburg apparently closed the gap to 3-2 a couple of minutes later. Unfortunately, the goal was called back due to an offside position by a Healdsburg player, to the alternate enthusiasm and disappointment of the University Street field fans. “Ukiah definitely had the score on their side, but Healdsburg played them well throughout the game,” reported Lemus. “We knew the game would not be easy. On paper, Ukiah is the team to beat in league play.” It was Ukiah’s first league win, though their record is 7-1-3 to this point in the year. Healdsburg stands at 0-1-1 in the league, 3-6-1 overall. Their next game is Jan.

18 at Analy, followed on Jan. 24 at home against Elsie Allen and two days later against Santa Rosa, again in Healdsburg. “I would have to say that Healdsburg needs to improve in the attacking third in order to give themselves a chance to win some games,” Lemus said.
Girls Soccer The Greyhound Girls “football” team is having a hard time scoring, having made only 10 goals in the first eight games. Their record is 3-3-2 overall, though one of their “wins” was a forfeit in the Dec. 5 date against St. Vincent. The high point of their
season thus far is the 4-0 win over Roseland University Prep more than a month ago, on Dec. 7. Their 2-1 win over neighboring Cloverdale a week later was another highlight. But in 2024, they have lost twice in league matchups without making a goal, falling 7-0 against Ukiah
on Jan. 10 and 5-0 two days later against Rancho Cotate. Their next four league games are all away, at Elsie Allen (on Jan. 17), Santa Rosa (Jan. 19), Piner (Jan. 23) and Ukiah (Jan. 25). Their next home game doesn’t come until Jan. 30, against Rancho Cotate.

these are functional buildings,” she said. “We never saw this [lumberyard]; it was behind fences, it wasn’t part of our history.” Sprinkle doubled down, citing “vertical elements harkening back to industrial elements that were on the site before” to explain his design choices.
Landscape Perspective

Landscape architect Don Vita then focused on low water-use vegetation, seasonal color palettes and the use of local plants and oaks, the “iconic tree” so prevalent in Northern California. A redwood grove is also being preserved on the larger site for inclusion in a .76-square-mile park in the middle of development. Following the architecture and landscape presentations, Luks called for broad overview comments from both commissioners and the public. Many immediately took issue with the overall design choices of the hotel proposal, unleashing an hour of complaint that appeared to take Replay by surprise. The uninspired treatment of the “iconic corner” of Healdsburg and Mill Street, the narrow end of the triangular shaped Lot 1, drew particular disapproval. Commissioner Stephen Barber objected to the corner treatment as presenting little more than “the blunt end of the hotel building,” its primary function being the back-ofthe-house facilities that go with hotel operations. Breznikar expressed dismay that the corner showed little if any inspiration, saying she had hoped for a Flatiron Building treatment to provide visual interest if not a unique identity. Vice Chair Conor McKay was appreciative of the rough design presented for the restaurant, with its evident Japanese aesthetic, but

on the whole was also disappointed by the “box-on-box” design of the hotel building.
Treehouse Envy
One particular aspect of the hotel that drew disapproval were the balconies attached to the north side of the hotel, which had the appearance of being literally stuck on to the building’s face like an afterthought. Architect Sprinkle had called attention to these balconies by saying they evoked for him the treehouses he had built in his childhood, but their personal appeal was lost on the larger commission. Two architects in the audience at the workshop offered their appraisals.
positively to the initial renderings for the hotel site dating back to 2019, but said those ideas had been “eroded” over time. “These different things that are going up now, like the Canopy stuff, those are office buildings,” he said. Commissioner Luks made the observation that other Replay Destinations projects, as at Whistle and the Lift Hotel in Park City Utah, were more what he was hoping to see. “I hope we could get some inspiration from what these guys have already built,” he said.
Jonathan Pearlman of Healdsburg’s Elevation Architects echoed Barber’s objections. “The hotel block looks like an office building … a missed opportunity,” and compared it to a Holiday Inn or Motel 6. (Chair Lux chimed in that it looked like a Hampton Inn to him.) Pearlman also said he counted “five different architectural vocabularies here,” but said that they were unconnected. “None of them relate to each other, I think that’s missing a huge opportunity.” Kenneth Munson, a Sonoma County architect for 30 years, referred
Replay Response
City of Healdsburg
Anchoring Lot 1, the most visible of the Mill District’s corners, will be a four-story, 53-key hotel at 192 Saw Mill Circle, with restaurant, bar, outdoor pool, spa, fitness center and parking, and a separate, one-story commercial building. Currently named the Mill District Hotel, it will be somewhat larger than the 30- to 40-room hotel initially proposed, but at some point the “key number” was set at 53. As with Piazza’s H4 hotel at 400 Healdsburg Ave., the number of “keys” does not necessarily reflect the number of rooms or beds, and 12 two-bedroom units are foreseen, for a total of 77 bedrooms. Replay’s vice president of development, Mike McCone—who stepped into the job as project leader for the Mill District only five months ago—introduced the developer’s presentation by saying that following initial design presentations to the city in 2019, it was decided that “below-grade parking” was financially impractical, and the “amenities” building initially proposed for Lot 1 would better be located on a neighboring section of the overall property. Thus, there were changes in the design being presented now. Architect Tom Sprinkle talked about some of the historic uses of the site and its functional architecture as a lumber mill, including archival photos of the mill and its operation. Saying that the “historic urban fabric on this site was developed over time,” Sprinkle called his research “discovering the emotional history” of the site, which might be reflected in the functional if not industrial elements in the current design. But Planning Commissioner Vesna Breznikar jumped in to express skepticism of this approach. “This isn’t architecture,
CORNER LOT The apex of the Mill District’s 9.6-acre development is Lot 1, the location of a planned hotel.
Following an hour of critical comment from commissioners and citizens alike, Luks asked if Replay had a general response. After a few stunned moments, McCone said, “‘We’re not ready to respond, except that we embrace the process and embrace all the thoughtful comments.” Following the meeting, Planning Director Scott Duiven summarized the workshop’s findings, citing “three clear take-aways: (1) The project design should
do a better job of addressing the round-about both in terms of creating an architectural statement at that important gateway to the downtown, and in terms of facilitating pedestrian flow into and through the project site; (2) the massing and design features of the main hotel building should be modified to reduce its boxiness; and (3) the architectural elements throughout the project should be tied together in a more coherent way.” Replay next comes before the Planning Commission on Feb. 6, to present its plans for the Auxiliary building on Lot 2. It was advised to have a more developed response to the January workshop at that time. The entire 9.6-acre Mill District complex, projected to include over 200 residences as well as restaurants, retail shops and the hotel, is expected to be finished by 2028—optimistically, about the time that the SMART train will finally arrive in Healdsburg.

‘Where everybody knows your name’ LIBRARY’S POSADA UNDERSCORES COMMUNITY By Jon Haupt
finally, a piñata on our patio, complete with peanuts, candy and a rousing community rendition of ¡Dale Dale Dale! This Posada event was the first large party at our library branch since before the start of the pandemic and was deeply enjoyed by all. Several individuals noted they had never seen anything like it in a library and were touched by the crowd’s diversity and enthusiasm. We saw regular library users, new residents and longtime Healdsburg residents who had not visited in some time. In the aftermath of the Posada, we heard from many community members who still dreamily reminisced about the event. One person’s comment stuck with us—he said the library is taking the place of the old Post Office. Librarians studying Information Behavior speak of a phenomenon called an “information ground” where people come together for a particular purpose, like

Years ago, I sat at the Library’s Reference Desk, ready to help with what questions might come my way. Mike stopped by to check in about a music question on his way to start his volunteer service hours. Meanwhile, Dave walked by, declaiming what he had eaten for lunch that day. “Fried. Pork. Taco.” A third patron walked by and said something about a football game, and that started a new conversation about recent sporting events. That’s when one more person walked by, who didn’t make eye contact on the way to a study table, but muttered under their breath, “This isn’t even a library anymore. It’s more like Cheers.” The comment came with a derisive tone, and I didn’t
comment in the moment. But later, the staff discussed how the comment revealed a shift in the role of the library that appeared to match a need in our society—a place to meet up with fellow community members, separate from political constructs and, if anything, provide for the kind of impromptu social phenomenon referred to by the commenter. Fast forward to December 2023, when we found 300 of our closest neighbors at the library for our Healdsburg Library Posada. Participants formed a procession from one area of the library to another, participating freely in Spanishlanguage music and movement for kids, as well as in family photo areas, including a station for preserving and digitizing family photos, a holiday-themed photo booth and a craft station for decorating portrait frames. In addition there was a tamale lunch for everyone, a music performance by Sabor de mi Cuba and,

Others speak of a “third place” separate from home or work, a place that becomes familiar, regular and beloved to those
who participate. At the end of the day we are proud that although we still provide access to information, assistance and a good read, our library has also become a special place where the community gathers—both to comfort one another in difficult times and to share
good cheer when things go well. Jon Haupt is the branch manager of the Healdsburg Regional Library, located at 139 Piper St. and open daily.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 109163-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 109163-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

now Healdsburg, after which he headed north to Cloverdale. He’s held other similarly informal meetings even farther north, in Ukiah, Del Norte, Arcata and Willits, with Crescent City, McKinleyville and Gualala coming up on the coffee-klatch schedule. The diverse geography of the Second District means that Santa Rosa exposure and expertise only go so far when many of the voters live in Mendocino, Humboldt, Trinity and Del Norte counties. “I’m working my way through the district, reintroducing myself to people who haven’t seen me for a while,” Rogers said. He stresses “re-introduction” because he is

aware the people he may have contacted in years past may not remember him, though he has worked throughout the North Coast since his college days at UC Santa Barbara (Class of 2009) when he interned for Lynn Woolsey. His subsequent roles included three years in McGuire’s State Senate administration until 2016, when Rogers left to run for Santa Rosa City Council. “I was his aide while they were sitting there having a conversation with him; I was in on the meetings,” he said. “But some of those folks don’t always remember me from that experience.

words and asked pointed questions. Topics ranged from water supply and the impact of drought, electric vehicles and renewable energy, opioids and mental health response to emergency calls, climate change and fire. Wherever the questions came from or wherever they went, Rogers seemed comfortable, if not energized; able to pivot and contribute. “Did you know that all the plastics ever made are still in existence,” he stated, more than asked. “We need to reduce our use of plastics.” That led to a discussion of the floating solar array at Healdsburg’s water treatment plant, and how changing the floating platforms to bamboo might be the next step in smart ecology. Rogers is not the only candidate who has declared for the Assembly
District 2 seat. The complete list of candidates includes: • Cynthia Click, Willits resident • Michael Greer (R), Del Norte Unified School District trustee • Rusty Hicks, California Democratic Party chair • Ariel Kelley, Healdsburg councilmember • Frankie Myers, vice chair of Yurok Tribe • Chris Rogers, Santa Rosa councilmember • Ted Williams, Mendocino County supervisor The district has voted heavily Democratic in recent years, and there is only one Republican in the race, Michael Greer. The primary election is set for March 4; the top two votegetting candidates at the March election, regardless of party, will appear on the Nov. 5 ballot, for a twoyear State Assembly term to begin in January 2025.
