Healdsburg’s grapplers make a strong showing in division playoffs 8
Forever re-homing County’s Humane Society finds the right people for the right pets 9
What’s happening, Healdsburg!
In a week with both Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras, what else is there to do around here? 2
By Christian Kallen
One of the key innovators in the digital media revolution, which has erased the market for physical LPs, CDs and DVDs, appeared in Healdsburg last week to showcase what he’s working on now: an AI-driven music-making “installation” that will display at Paul Mahder Gallery through the end of the month. It may also
appear at the new Magical Bridge playground when it is installed at Badger Park.
Dr. Nolan Gasser, a pianist and composer with a Ph.D. in musicology from Stanford, has put his stamp on the music revolution as the architect of the Music Genome Project, the basis for the music streaming service Pandora. “I designed the way that music of all genres is analyzed,
by trained musicians, whereby that music data is entered into the database and becomes the primary basis for the creation of the service’s personalized radio stations and playlists,” he said. Though Pandora’s commercial influence has waned as Spotify, Amazon Music and other services have grown (it is currently owned by Sirius XM), Gasser hasn’t completely left the influential startup behind—he is now chief musicologist emeritus at Pandora. He’s also branched off into creating music technology
as an art form; his newest endeavor is called the Musical Bridge.
The similarity in name and to some extent purpose caught the attention of Olenka Villarreal, whose Magical Bridge Foundation is currently raising funds for an all-inclusive playground at Badger Park. A common donor

● State programs help city “earn credits” for EVs, more chargers on the way
The City of Healdsburg is taking the lead on expanding its electric vehicle and clean transportation programs by leveraging available state Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) funding, while sharpening the city’s focus on equity and climate goals. At its Feb. 2 meeting, the City Council approved updates to existing transportation electrification programs, to be implemented by Earth Day 2026 (April 22).
“LCF is one of our strictest energy program funding sources: It can only be to support transportation electrification, and predominantly for the primary benefit of low-income individuals and communities,” said Terra Sampson, Healdsburg’s utility conservation analyst.
Sampson pointed out that in the program’s equity requirement section, the “governing

body” could provide a definition of low income that could provide “more local flexibility and opportunity to benefit low-income residents,” she said. “Adopting a local low-income definition is part of tonight’s resolution.”
The local definition expanded the definition of a low-income resident to include anyone currently receiving the
Healdsburg CARE Electric Bill Discount, or anyone residing in a household that meets the qualifications.
CARE is the City Alternative Rates for Energy program. Applications and information for this and other rebates are available in English and Spanish on the city’s website at SmartLivingHealdsburg.org.
“A local definition will capture more Healdsburg residents than the State default definition, allowing the City to use LCFS funds to benefit low-income residents in Healdsburg,” read Sampson’s report.

links the two as well: the late Vince Steckler, who died in a car accident in 2021. An early backer of the Magical Bridge playgrounds, and a music enthusiast, Steckler was also a Bob Dylan enthusiast. So the basic architecture of “Like a Rolling Stone” is baked into one of the musical modes that the device plays, or rather plays with.
Last Friday evening a score or more of Healdsburg’s residents came to the Gallery at 222 Healdsburg Ave. They heard from the 222’s director Erin Partridge, Magical Bridge founder and CEO Olenka Villarreal, then the affable Gasser himself who described the transition from physical copies to digital copies as “disruptive distribution.”
“This revolution is different—it is a disruption of creativity. So now you can actually create a poem, or an image created or a video created or a piece of music created by artificial intelligence, just by a prompt,” he said.
How it works
The Musical Bridge prototype currently installed at the Mahder Gallery has a simple interface but complex circuitry. To all appearances, the harmony station is a soundboard with two round, black speakers and an array of eight metallic gold bars spread above a large silver dish button. Hit the big button, the AI pad, and one hears instruments (all artificially gener-
ated, of course) performing a variation on one of several basic compositions. Hit one of the keys, and a note sounds that is compliant with the key or mode of the AI composition being performed. Hit another key, and it too is in the same mode, but it might take the performance in a slightly different direction.
The underlying compositions range from major and minor scales to a blues scale, an Arabian scale or pentatonic scales. The instruments are familiar, recognizable—marimba, celeste, harp, vibraphone, flute, table, handclaps (and a harmonica for the Bob Dylan number). All are computer generated.
The process is similar to the large musical chimes installed in many playgrounds to give kids a chance to experiment with music. But the music produced in this AI platform is a swirling hall of sounds in the theater of the imagination.
AI is everywhere
Not unlike Gasser predicted, being engaged with the Musical Bridge does get to the creative impulses, and spirit. Which makes one ask, if AI is as creative as humans, what is “creativity”?
Gasser himself took it in the practical direction, admitting that AI could be good and bad. “It’s potentially both,” he said, wielding the hand mic with the authority of a trained TEDx speaker. “But I think it’s incumbent on all of us to use it positively, since it’s everywhere—we are all using AI.”
The Musical Bridge is to some degree an attempt to do that, he continued, “to make it so that it’s not just a passive exercise, but it’s an interactive one, where AI is helping to facilitate the musical experience.”
The first installation of the Musical Bridge took place in Palo Alto last sum-

mer, where it was presented as the Magical Bridge Foundation’s latest experiment in promoting inclusion. The device on interactive display at the Paul Mahder Gallery is a prototype, a Phase 3 development. Phase 4 will occur when production begins and the Musical Bridge is installed widely—in arcades, corporate lobbies, schools and playgrounds.
Once Gasser demonstrated the sort of melodies and structures he had devised for the Musical Bridge, the audience dispersed to the two panels midway down the gallery, toward the wine bar.
Everyone from councilmember Ariel Kelley to all of the “ambassadors” for Magical Bridge Healdsburg took a turn at the two modules. Emily Peterson
encouraged young Aisley to play, as did Emily herself, and ambassadors from Jasmin Thyme Floral, Heartizens and many others. That evening, everyone in attendance was sonically seduced into being an ambassador for the Magical Bridge.
“Music is how most cultures come together. This is a way for everyone to connect,” Villarreal said. That is close to the Magical Bridge Foundation’s own goal, and mission: Creating a place to play that is accessible for everyone, to bring everyone together.
The Magical Bridge Foundation is still seeking support for its inclusive Badger Park project, at magicalbridge.org/healdsburg.

Under the state program, Healdsburg generates about 1,700 credits from EV charging each year, roughly $100,000 annually. These credits can be sold to fund transportation electrification. An additional $300,000 in unsold credits are available—unused assets in the city’s accounting.
The city is also eligible for a one-time transfer of approximately $883,000 from the California Clean Fuel Rewards program, creating a significant pool of funding for new and expanded initiatives. “These are one-time funds which I don’t expect to become available again,” Sampson said.
The availability of these funds and credits were presented as an opportunity for the city to expand services and users, offering up to 50% credit on charges procured at a city EV site, increased rebates for some home or business EV chargers, continued support and increase of e-Bike rebates, and other benefits. Promotions such as free introductory offers and referral benefits were also proposed.
Sampson also floated the idea of an EV purchase rebate, not currently available at the city level, which would increase the user base of the programs. No EV rebate is currently available either on new or used EV vehicles, only new.
The purpose of the CARE program and rebates encouraging EV usage is to reduce the overall greenhouse gas emissions produced by the city, in accordance with state and regional goals. CARE participants also get discounts on utilities, including water and electrical rates and sewage fees.
The council also discussed how to use $883,300 in one-time funds received from the State to support transportation electrification. The council expressed interest in adding new public charging stations in the community. These would be located in areas where a significant number of low-income households exist, locations defined under the new low-income residents definition being adopted.
Two such locations were offered in the meeting, Giorgi Park on University at Grant, and the Abel de Luna Community Center, but more, such as the low-income Randall apartments at Mill District, might be determined in the future.
The EV charging rebates apply only at the city-owned charging stations, not private or commercial recharging systems like the Electrify America installation at the Safeway on Vine Street. Those locations however may have Level 3 “fast-chargers”; the city-owned sites only have Level 2 chargers.

● Wrestling team has high turnout, mixed success
By Caleb Knudsen
Under coach Scott Weidemier, the wrestlers of Healdsburg High—in all classes, both boys and girls—continue to “punch above their weight” in the competitive 11-team North Bay League. Two key tournaments on recent weekends demon-
strate the capabilities and growing respect the team is gaining in the region.
On the last day of January, the NCS Division 3 Dual Team Championships were held at Lower Lake High. Recounted Weidemier, “We began the tournament as the #5 seed and in our first match defeated #4 seed Justin-Siena, 54-30, in a very
inspired and dominating performance.”
He went on, “We then faced Willits HS, the #1 seed and a perennial small school power, in the semifinals. This was very likely a match of the two best teams in the tournament, and the winner had the inside track for the title.”
The Hounds efforts were led by Eli Zepeda who won at 287 pounds. Although Willits moved up their 217-pound wrestler (currently ranked sixth in the NCS) to try and gain an advantage, Zepeda prevailed in a physical and hard-fought match, winning by a score of 7-4.
With Healdsburg ahead by 4 points with two matches remaining, Willits was able to secure a fall in each to end up winning by a score of 41-33. “After falling to Willits in a physical and exasperating match, the air was let out of the sails and we just weren’t able to get mentally ready for the next match,” Weidemier said.
Even though Alex Diaz Cano and Milo Timmsen-Miller both went 3-0 on the day, the team lost to Middletown by a score of 42-36 to get knocked out of a chance for third place.
A week later, the Feb. 7 league tournament combined both the Oak and Redwood divisions. Weidemier said, “The Oak division may be the deepest in the North Coast Section (NCS) this year with the likes of Ukiah, Windsor, Montgomery and Maria Carrillo.”
The Healdsburg teams, both boys and girls, each finished fifth, which placed them immediately behind those top four. “After a great week of practice, the kids really stepped up once again,” the coach reported. “We had nine boys competing at the varsity level, four at the JV level and six girls. We placed fifth as a team in both the boys and girls divisions out of 11 schools. This was quite an impressive finish for the Hounds wrestlers.”
This coming weekend the teams travel to Clear Lake for the 2026 NCS D3 Divisional Championships, a new tournament in the post-season structure. The top four in each weight at the divisional will qualify for the NCS Championships (Masters) on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20-21 at James Logan High School in Union City.

When it comes to pets, the Humane Society is usually the first call. The 95-yearold nonprofit organization, founded locally in 1931, has a long and storied record in pet rescue and adoption.
Then as now, it offers services focused on pet welfare, health and adoption. Cynthia King, its new executive director, has a lengthy local career in community nonprofits and only came to the Humane Society of Sonoma County six months ago.
“I’ve always loved animals. I thought I wanted to be a vet when I was younger,” she told The Healdsburg Tribune last week. “I was drawn to the Humane Society for what they do and how well they do it.”
No surprise here, but King has pets. Two dogs. “I have a Covid puppy who is a mix, and then a neighbor rehomed their dog with us; she’s a chocolate lab,” she said. “I always feel like I have to explain that because I wouldn’t have bought a purebred dog that hasn’t been given to me.”
Rehoming of pets is one of the main services the Humane Society performs. But it offers others: clinics for spaying or neutering pets (and other veterinarian services, including vaccinations), an Animal Adventure Camp for primary school children (registration starts March 3), licensing, plus pet microchipping and euthanasia.
There’s even a “dog’s day out” program where pet-lovers can pick up a dog to take out for the day. “It could be people who are visiting or people who live here; they can take them to the beach, take them to a winery, take them to a dog park,” King said. “Different things are great for the dogs to get out and experi-
ence,” especially for the larger dogs that can use the exercise and variety.
Adoption is a key mission of the Humane Society. It begins the process with an interview of the applicant to get a clear idea of what kind of pet they’re looking for, and if they’re looking for the right kind of pet.
King outlined the process when an animal comes in, whether a stray or a “surrender” from a previous owner. “When an animal is brought in, ideally it’s within 24 hours that we’ve done medical assessment, updated vaccines, checked their microchip and made sure they don’t have any infectious disease,” she said.
Most of the pets pass through in a matter of days—some don’t even make it out of evaluation before one of the volunteers takes the animal home. Many stay less than 24 hours.
The society’s secret weapon in the adoption process might be Gabe Rathmann, who is coming up on his 30th year with the organization. “He’s very good at pairing people with the right pet. So if people can come with an open mind as to the animal that might be the best fit for them, we actually are quite good at creating that match,” King said.
Whether or not Rathmann is a “dog whisperer” or a “people whisperer” depends on who’s asking, pet or person. “I would say a little of both. I came into this with the compassion and understanding of people, and then learned the animal component here. It then became a marriage of the two,” he said.
More than 1,800 pets went through the Humane Society of Sonoma County in 2025, about a third of which were dogs, and 63% of which were cats. Most of the felines pass through in “kitten season,” from March through September. The “other” category comprised 4%, King said. “That’s Guinea pigs, rabbits, the occasional rat, things like that.”
More information about adoptions and other services is available at humanesocietysoco.org.

SALE OFFICER CALIFORNIA TD SPECIALIST IS A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien 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. “Please be advised that the trustee may require entity or trust bidders at this trustee’s sale to provide Information, documentation and/or certification of the vesting instructions and the data required to be reported pursuant to FinCEN regulations effective for transfers of residential real property to covered transferees on or after March 1, 2026. The required information must be provided to the trustee before a trustee’s deed upon sale will be issued for covered transfer. Additional information regarding these regulations and the required transferee Information and certifications can be found at https://www. federalreglster.gov/documents/2024/08/29/202419198/anti-money-launderingregulations-forresidential-real-estate-transfers and https://www. fincen.gov/rre-faqs#d 5” 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. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. 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 T.S.# 88515. 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.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 (844) 477-7869, or visit this internet website www. STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned
to this case 88515 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; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Disclosure In compliance with CA civil code 2924f(F), the opening bid for the foreclosure sale is based on a valuation provided t the trustee by the lender of the lender’s representative. The trustee does not determine, verify, or opine on the accuracy of this valuation and makes no representation regarding the market value of the property subject to foreclosures (the “Property”). The trustee’s compliance or non-compliance with CA civil code 2924f(f) shall not be construed as an opinion, warranty, or representation regarding (i) the priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, (ii) the condition of title to the Property, or (iii) any other matters affecting the Property, Including the value of the Property. The trustee relies solely on the trustee’s sale guaranty and/or Information provided by the lender regarding the lien priority and title condition and does not Independently verify such Information. All bidders are solely responsible for conducting their own Independent due diligence regarding the loan, the Property, its value, the lien priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, and the condition of the title to the Property. The trustee assumes no liability for the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by third parties, including the lender. The valuation used to determine the minimum opening bid applies only to the Initially scheduled sale date. Any postponement or continuation of the sale does not obligate the trustee to obtain or rely upon a new valuation, nor does It alter the trustee’s limited role in the process.
