20-SOMETHINGS WHO ALLEGEDLY LAUNDERED MILLIONS INCLUDED HEALDSBURG WOMAN By Tony Hicks

Santa Rosa police have arrested four people—three men and a Healdsburg woman—who were allegedly involved in a wideranging scam in which the police said they laundered $7.8 million in 2022. Police said they spent 12 months investigating the crimes, beginning in September 2022, when they received a request for assistance from a detective in West Deptford, New Jersey, related to a scam investigation affecting someone in their jurisdiction. The detective tracked stolen funds to someone in Santa Rosa, who allegedly withdrew approximately $1,000 from an involved bank account. Santa Rosa police served a search warrant at the subject’s residence on Nov. 15, 2023, in the 2100 block of Meadowbrook Court, the home of 23-year-old Santa Rosa resident Anthony Chand. Police said Chand was working with three additional co-conspirators within the Santa Rosa area to commit extensive money laundering throughout Sonoma County. Detectives identified a second suspect and served a search warrant on Nov. 15 at the residence of 21-year-old Alexander King Knigge of Santa Rosa, on the 4000 block of Arthur Ashe Circle. Chand and Knigge’s alleged co-conspirators were 21-year-old Healdsburg resident Brileigh Blosser and 22-year-old Santa Rosa resident Calvin Valledor. Police arrested Knigge,

Nutcracker ‘Orphanage’ Grows Every Year COSTEAUX BAKERY’S COLLECTION OF BALLET TOYS IS WORLD-CLASS By Christian Kallen
One of the world’s largest collections of nutcracker dolls gazes down on breakfast diners at Healdsburg’s Costeaux French Bakery this time of year, promoting the holiday spirit at the 100-year-old bakery. From mid-November into midJanuary, hundreds of the small wood effigies of spirits, tin soldiers, tiny ballerinas and court jesters are on colorful display— a reminder of the bakery’s longstanding enthusiasm for the season. “Christmas has been and continues to be a significant time of year for Costeaux,” said Will Seppi, the current president and CEO of the bakery. “Over the century Costeaux has crafted delectable delights that grace tables—from the start of the meal with breads and rolls to the
passed away, and she had 200 to 300 nutcrackers that were looking for a home. “That’s kind of what kicked us off,” Seppi said.
finale with such treats as our St. Honore, Triple Chocolate Mousse or Princess Cake.” Since 2007, Costeaux has held the Evening with Santa fundraiser benefiting Healdsburg Shared Ministries. Sometimes large families and local companies like to have their holiday parties at the bakery. Even Santa Claus makes an appearance every Saturday morning for breakfast, though he usually can’t stay long because he needs to return to elf management. “We take great pride in making baked goods that create memories and are part of people’s traditions,” Seppi said. Yes, but what about the nutcrackers? “I’ll take some responsibility for that, yes,” he admitted. “I was in line looking for a new Santa Claus chair for our annual breakfast Santas. And a woman behind me asked if I collected nutcrackers, because I had a couple in my hand.” It turned out the woman’s mother had recently
Building an Orphanage
That would have been 10 years ago, and since that time the collection has grown to roughly twice that number, or perhaps three times, or more. Seppi is intentionally vague on how many nutcrackers line the shelves on the bakery’s north wall—and above the kitchen, and on the counter, and wherever else there’s a flat spot during the Christmas season. That includes a staging above the holiday cake display, where the Triple Chocolate Mousse and Princess Cake are presented. At eye level, Baby Yoda and Humpty Dumpty nutcrackers surround a family photo of Santa and the kids. Seppi acknowledged that while his family had personally added to the collection over the years, a large number had come in over the transom, as it
were. “We’ve received them from our guests,” he said. “We’ve received them from community organizations. We’ve been doorbell ditched—left in crates at the back door. We’ve received them in the mail that says, ‘Dear Nutcracker Orphanage, take good care of ’em.’ I kid you not.” The sum total of that process has meant that the collection, or Nutcracker Orphanage, grows every year. A hard and fast number for the dolls is difficult to calculate. It’s still growing: The bakery has added six more shelves for the collection just this year. While Seppi proudly affirms that he’s got “the largest collection west of the Russian River,” he’s also careful not to claim any false flags. “We would assume that in Europe there are collections that are extensive,” he said. “But I am not aware of anyone that has the Thanksgiving Turkey standing next to Santa Claus, with the Raiders further down the shelf

from them. We’ve got Dorothy and the whole crew from Oz. We have farmers, we’ve got grape growers, chefs, cooks, firemen, policemen, the armed forces, Uncle Sam. They’re all there. “And now we have Humpty Dumpty.”
Ballet Magic
The legend of the Nutcracker derives from the Tchaikovsky ballet, with its midnight war between the gingerbread men and tin soldiers against the army of mice. The 1893 ballet is still popular as a first performance for dance schools, and is one of the top money-earners for many American ballet companies. It was performed earlier this month by the Santa Rosa Dance Theater at the Spreckles Theater, and the same weekend by a different company at the Luther Burbank Center. Then there’s “Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker” from the New World Ballet, to be staged on Dec. 23, also at Luther Burbank Center. The 11-piece orchestra that ➝ Nutcracker Orphanage, 6
DAVID HAGELE ELECTED NEW MAYOR, EVELYN MITCHELL VICE FOR 2024 FAREWELL TO MAYOR KELLEY AT YEAR’S LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING By Christian Kallen

joined by her husband and two children at the city council dais on Monday, Dec. 18, when the city of Healdsburg presented her with a plaque of appreciation for her year of service.
A little after 7pm on Monday, Dec. 18, Councilmember Chris Herrod, with a single brief motion, nominated both a new mayor and vice mayor for the city of Healdsburg. A few minutes later, David Hagele, as mayor, and Evelyn Mitchell, as vice
mayor, were unanimously approved by the council. The vote was the last order of business at the 73-minute meeting, which managed to address several long-standing items despite its brief length. The council reviewed the current status of the Foley Family Community Pavilion bid process, and approved the staff ’s recommendation to hire Wright Contracting for $7.4 million to execute the construction. Following that approval, Water/Wastewater Engineer Patric Fuss (appearing in a purple tie) gave a presentation on the city’s plans to install a “purple pipe” delivery mechanism for non-potable treated wastewater. A purple pipe delivery network is a widely-used way to signal that water from those pipes is not drinkable, but appropriate for irrigation.
In 2018, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board required that the city develop a plan to reach compliance with seasonal discharge prohibition within five years. After extensive research, a grant partner was found to build 1.6 miles of purple pipeline for $7 million. Though the length of the pipeline would meet the board’s requirements for wastewater distribution, it was not to the extent that city engineers thought could provide the widest distribution of reclaimed water. But the wellresearched proposal for a reclaimed water distribution network in Healdsburg, to be installed by the end of 2025, was heartily endorsed by the council.

appointment of the mayor and vice mayor, David Hagele invited up “a couple very proud kids out there, along with a proud husband,” to acknowledge their “lending your mom to us.” “What a fun surprise,” said Kelley, as Dan Kelley and their two children came up to the dais and posed for photos with the mayor as she was presented a plaque from City Clerk Raina Allan for her year as mayor. The family moment was followed by appreciations from the rest of the council, led by Hagele’s recitation of the “massive agenda items, from the climate mobilization strategy, DEI, the cannabis policy, bridge lighting—there’s
so many things that took a lot of effort and thought, and I just wanted to thank you for your leadership this year.” Herrod recognized Kelley’s commitment to the ceremonial role of a mayor. “I think it’s obvious to anyone paying attention that Mayor Kelley showed up, a lot,” he said. “She made time for as many groups and events as possible, and I know the community appreciated that you were there.” After Mitchell and Edwards spoke—and following a perfunctory call for public comment (“I’m not looking for any more compliments, we have to go to public comment because that’s what the law requires,” Kelley
said)—Herrod made his brief nomination of Evelyn Mitchell as vice mayor and David Hagele as mayor, and less than a minute later the unanimous vote was taken. The council adjourned their meeting at about 7:15pm, if not setting a record for brevity then certainly setting an example. The next meeting of the Healdsburg City Council will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024, with Mayor David Hagele holding the gavel.

‘Mississippi Son’ Brings in the New Year in Berkeley FORMER GEYSERVILLE RESIDENT CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE CONTINUES HIS BLUES ODYSSEY By Dave Gil de Rubio
Photo by Rory Doyle
In an age of performers making their name as Instagram influencers and TikTok flavors-of-themonth, Charlie Musselwhite is the equivalent of a land line—steady, reliable and a link to the past. Born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis, the 78-year-old musician has spent a career dating back to his 1967 debut, Stand Back! Here Comes Charley Musselwhite’s Southside Band, being a blues standard-bearer. His journey continues on the recently released Mississippi Son, a stripped-down collection of 14 songs featuring the harmonica player singing and picking up a guitar to present a mix of originals and nuggets originally recorded by an array of storied names including Yank Rachell, the Stanley Brothers and Charley Patton. It’s Musselwhite’s first solo outing since moving back to Clarksdale, Mississippi, about a year and a half ago from the tiny Northern California community of Geyserville. (He released 100 Years of the Blues with old friend Elvin Bishop back in 2020.). Climate change prompted the harp player and his wife/manager Henrietta Musselwhite to pull up
stakes and move back to the Delta. “We were having the fires [in California] every year,” he said in a recent phone interview. “The last time, we could see it coming. If the wind hadn’t changed, we might have gotten burned out. We figured it was inevitable that we would at some point, so why wait for that? “It was really horrible. You have to be evacuated and everything in the freezer was rotten because the electricity was turned off. It was horrible. I remember walking out my front door and the ash was just falling like snow. It ain’t gonna go away. It’s going to get worse.” With the pandemic forcing Musselwhite to stay in one place, he started hanging out at friend Gary Vincent’s nearby studio, noodling around on guitar. Before long, Vincent was hitting record, drummer Ricky Martin and upright bassist Barry Bays were recruited, and Mississippi Son was the result. “We started recording some of these tunes that I’d been doing for a long time, and at some point we realized that it could be an album,” Musselwhite said. “It was kind of an accident. Then we invited [Martin and Bays] to play on a few tunes. It just evolved on its own and took on its own momentum.” The slow-as-molasses tempo on the album is languid and made all the more so by Musselwhite’s laconic vocal phrasing, which is goosed along by his equally loose strumming and harp blowing. The record doesn’t so much rock out as much
MISSISSIPPI SON Charlie Musselwhite has returned to Clarksdale, Mississippi, after 17 years in Geyserville.
He welcomes in the New Year at Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage.
as it oozes along from the self-penned opener “Blues Up the River” (whose couplets like “I’ll drink muddy water until I’ve had enough” bring to mind images of the mighty Mississippi River) to a reading of Guy Clark’s “The Dark.” The song’s stark tempo is reminiscent of Musselwhite’s old friend and mentor John Lee Hooker, who is immortalized by a version of “Crawling King Snake” perfectly arranged as a loose shuffle. Fans can expect to hear songs from Mississippi Son and more now that Musselwhite will be back out on tour fronting a guitar, bass and drums trio. He plays Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage on both Dec. 30 and 31 to welcome the New Year. “I do some tunes that
people request and I have some new songs they haven’t heard before,” he said. “I might even play guitar, who knows? It depends on the situation and how much time I have. “A lot of people don’t even know that I play guitar, so that’s a departure. I didn’t even know how people would react to [my playing on Mississippi Son], but it’s just been overwhelming. People are just loving it. I’m happily surprised—it’s a nice thing.” Musselwhite’s love of the blues can be traced to a childhood spent listening to music being sung by local laborers out in the country. “I remember as a little kid we lived on a street and then there were woods and in it there was a creek,”
he said. “On the other side of the creek there were fields where people would work in them. Down on the shady side of the creek was the coolest place I could find. “I remember as a little kid, laying on the shady side of the creek, cooling off and listening to people singing work songs in the field. And that was blues. I remember listening to those songs and while I liked a lot of different kinds of music, this music sounded like how I felt. It really pulled me into it.” In the 1950s a teenaged Musselwhite moved to Memphis, where he furthered his education in the blues and set in motion what is now a five-decade career that shows no signs of slowing down. “I remember going
around Memphis looking for old blues records in junk stores,” Musselwhite said. “I found the first Sonny Boy [Williamson] record and other players. I really liked the way the harmonica sounded. At some point, I remember thinking that since I had my own harmonica, I decided to start playing my own [music]. “I started going out into the woods where I thought nobody could hear me play and just experimented. I was already familiar with it. I just started playing my own blues and making it up.” Charlie Musselwhite appears with Angela Strehli on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 at Freight & Salvage, 2020 Addison St, Berkeley.

Prune Packers Take the Ball and Run

BASEBALL TEAM SAYS GOODBYE TO CCL, STARTS OWN LEAGUE By Christian Kallen
The world of summer community baseball was hit by a screwball this week, as the Healdsburg Prune Packers—perhaps the most successful of such teams in Northern California—announced their divorce from the California Collegiate League (CCL) and the formation of a new confederation of teams, the Pacific Empire League (PEL). The Dec. 15 announcement listed six summer collegiate baseball franchises on the West Coast that had “joined forces” to launch the new
league—the Healdsburg Prune Packers, Humboldt Crabs, Lincoln Potters, Medford Rogues, Solano Mudcats and West Coast Kings. Left out of the new league are CCL teams the Sonoma Stompers and Walnut Creek Crawdads. Both of those teams still appear in the CCL list of participating teams for 2024. The announcement was significant because the Prune Packers had recently accomplished their third straight league championship in the CCL, once again traveling to Southern California to defeat the CCL South pennant winner. It was unclear what caused the split, though team coach Joey Gomes said in the statement, “The Prune Packers outgrew
the model provided by the CCL.” Gomes does doubleduty as the team’s general manager and team field manager. Gomes and others were frustrated by the CCL’s south-centric perspective, which forced all championship games to be played in the southland despite the Prune Packers’ clear record of dominance. “The adversity that we felt going down there was pretty apparent,” he said at the time. “I can share the importance of this move to the Pacific Empire League from a baseball ops perspective,” Gomes told the Healdsburg Tribune. “One major factor for the Packers to help forge a new league was the Prune Packers’ popularity in Sonoma County and the rest of the country. A more competitive
league with organizations tied to strong fan bases is the right fit.” The new league includes two teams from far to the north, the Humboldt Crabs of Arcata and Oregon’s Medford Rogues. The Crabs meet Gomes’ criteria of a “historic team with devoted fan base,” having been formed in 1945. The Rogues were formed in 2012. The president of the new league, who is also the Prune Packers’ executive director, is Windsor attorney Natalie Norman. “Our mission is unequivocally clear: to elevate collegiate baseball, foster exceptional player development and deliver exhilarating, topquality games to our fans every summer,” said Norman. “The Pacific Empire League is committed to cultivating top talent and
embodying the true spirit of baseball, ensuring an engaging and memorable experience for both players and fans.” The new league is also demonstrating a commitment to new baseball technology by offering a “hightech partnership with Trackman Baseball and Synergy Sports.” The technology provides analytic data including exit velocities, spin rate and pitch speed. Six cameras will be linked to allow college coaches to track their players and give professional scouts an opportunity to better evaluate prospects. “We care about our players and fans of the Prune Packers,” said Gomes. “We owed it to Healdsburg to provide the best possible experience for our players and community! Aligning ourselves with like-minded organizations based in our
region just made sense.” Schedules for play in 2024 are posted online at t i ny u r l . c o m / 4 s y 5 s j h 7. As in previous years, the Prune Packers will play teams not in their own league to fill in the summer schedule. “We eagerly anticipate an exceptional inaugural season and a future filled with growth and enthusiasm in the league,” said Norman. The Healdburg Prune Packers were formed in 1921 and have played for most of their season at the baseball diamond at Rec Park, currently known as Art McCaffrey Field. The schedule generally runs from June through July, and includes the championship series in August.
Girls League Season Begins This Week HOME GAME VS. WINDSOR ON THURSDAY
The girls North Coast Redwood League is composed of seven teams, including Piner, Santa Rosa, St. Vincent de Paul, Rancho Cotate, Elsie Allen and Windsor, in addition to Healdsburg. Healdsburg came out on top last year with an 11-1 record, their only loss coming to Windsor.
Boys Basketball
Meanwhile the boys varsity team continues to play hard but comes up short in most of their matches, getting only three wins so far this year including in tournament play. They play one more pre-season game on Saturday, an early 1pm game on Dec. 23 against Maria Carrillo in Santa Rosa, and participate in the Windsor Holiday Shootout tournament the following week. But the boys first league game isn’t until Jan. 10, against St. Vincent, after which the league matchups come fast and furious, two a week until Feb. 3. Healdsburg came in second in the league last year, 5-3, behind undefeated Ukiah. The league this year is only five teams—St. Vincent, Rancho Cotate, Elsie Allen, Ukiah and Healdsburg.

With the advent of the North Bay – Redwood league season this week, the Healdsburg girls basketball team is sitting on an 11-2 record and appears poised to dominate the seven-team league again this year. Healdsburg puts its girls team—now 9 players strong—into action against 3-4 Rancho and 1-8 Windsor, but there’s more to a team’s strength than its pre-season record, and coach Jim Lago isn’t taking anything for granted. “I never underestimate either of these two teams,” he said on Monday. “They have a history of strong play and excellent coaching, and the one league game we lost last year was to Windsor … and it appears that Rancho recently beat Windsor.” That Dec. 12 match was the first league game of the season for both teams, and Rancho Cotate won 46-36, sparked by sophomore Izzy Harumi’s 13 points and junior Daniela Campos’ 10. “I am not saying I
expect to lose,” Lago said. “I am just saying it won’t be as easy as some of our pre-season games.” Healdsburg’s most recent game found them overwhelming Terra Linda 53-25, though it should be noted Terra Linda has yet to win a game this season. But the Marin team gathered their resources and outscored the Lady Greyhounds in the second quarter, 16-15, prompting Healdsburg’s defense to wake up and hold Terra Linda to 7 points in the rest of the game. All players on the Greyhounds team saw playing time and scored points, though none scored more than the 9 from both Allie Espinoza and Ashley Beherns. Hailey Webb, the team’s leading scorer this year, only netted 8, but two of them were threepointers and her 9 assists helped spread the scoring around. Tuesday’s away game against Rancho Cotate is followed by a match in Healdsburg on Thursday, Dec. 21—the first league game to be played on the Smith Robinson court this year. Windsor will be the opponent; tip-off is time 7:30pm.

Trustee’s Sale NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE T.S. No. 114978-CA APN: 164-370-068-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 1/9/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 1/31/2024 at 10:00 AM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 1/18/2006 as Instrument No. 2006006697 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Sonoma County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: KARA MICHELLE STEWART AND CHRISTOPHER CHARLES STEWART WIFE AND HUSBAND AS JOINT TENANTS WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; IN THE PLAZA AT FREMONT PARK, FREMONT PARK, 860 FIFTH STREET, SANTA ROSA, CA 95401 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 268 DECANTER CIRCLE, WINDSOR, CA 95492 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $729,077.54 If the
Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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. 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 114978-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 114978-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. 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.
