COMMISSION APPROVES PIAZZA’S 4TH DOWNTOWN PROJECT
Healdsburg, California Healdsburg, California
December 7, 2023 Date, Date, 20202020
‘RESIDENCE HOTEL’ WILL HAVE 37 BEDS IN 16 UNITS By Christian Kallen

Piazza Hospitality’s fourth Healdsburg hotel project, troubled by what Planning Commission Chair Phil Luks called “procedural errors,” was finally approved by the commission at its Nov. 28 meeting. The “residence hotel” at 400 Healdsburg Ave., dubbed H4 for the time being, would join Healdsburg Hotel, H2 Hotel and the Harmon Guest House at other locations in the two blocks south on Healdsburg Avenue. Paolo Petrone, one of Piazza’s principals, said the hotel would be designed to attract family groups for extended stays of a week or more. “We don’t have this product in our other three hotels” in town, he told the commission. The vote was 4-2, with Chair Luks and Commissioner Vesna Breznikar continuing to express disenchantment with Piazza’s design, social responsiveness and operational planning. But the positives of the project—including the promise of a 100% “blackwater” filtration system that would create a closed water cycle even more wastewater-neutral than greywater—offset the objections, and Commissioners Stephen Barber, Tom Gerlach, Alex Wood and Vice Chair Conor McKay outvoted the pair. That opens the door for Piazza to begin submitting specific plans to the city’s Building Department for final sign-off. “Now that the project has been approved we will start on working drawings and then plan check, working towards an eventual building permit,” said

Healdsburg Special Events Get a Makeover REVISED POLICY UPDATES RULES & EXPECTATIONS OF CITY EVENTS By Christian Kallen
On a cool and damp first December night, Santa Claus came to town. But the steady soft rain that fell Friday in the Plaza did little to deter hundreds of spectators from enjoying the Christmas spirit, the perky carols of the Sugarplums and the variety of choice at the Farmers’ Market. Added bonus: Santa Tim showed up with his favorite elf, Jingles, and selected a local girl—6year-old Cleo Wentzel, first in line to have her photo taken with the Big Guy— to throw the switch that turned on the tree lights. A roar and a cheer (Merry Healdsburg!) went up from the crowd as the 47-foot white fir erupted in reds, golds, silver and
white. “Oh what a night!” enthused Mayor Ariel Kelley. “Merry Healdsburg! was a hit again this year.” This is only the third official year for Merry Healdsburg!, although the tree-lighting celebration goes back some time. As such, this event joins a select but growing list of official city events, most of them taking place in the historic Plaza at the heart of town. These include regular events such as the 14-week Tuesdays in the Plaza and the much shorter (and quieter) Sundays music series, special events such as Healdsburg Crush and the Healdsburg Arts Festival, and holiday-oriented celebrations such as Fourth of July, Dia de Muertos and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and many others. These all take city resources in staff time and road closures, sanitation and other park
maintenance, police management and often road closures in the Plaza area. That creates plenty of work, if not headaches, for city staff.
Policy Presentation
Three days after the Merry Healdsburg! celebration, Recreation Supervisor Matt Milde came before the city council. He wasn’t there to bask in the glow, but to present a set of revisions to the city’s Special Events Policy. The Policy currently on the books dates from 2014. It “serves as a guide for obtaining permits and utilizing City parks, recreation facilities, or public right-of-way for special events,” according to Milde’s report. But since the policy was developed almost 10 years ago, some of its guidelines have been shown to present “challenges for staff management and the need for striking an optimal
balance between public use and special event use of these facilities.” In the intervening years of its use, too, related inconsistencies with the Municipal Code were also discovered. A review process has been underway since 2019. As Milde noted, however, “Progress was delayed due to a flood, Kincade Fire, and COVID pandemic. Staff reconvened in late 2021, building on the 2019 progress.” When the city council heard a report on progress of the effort in May of this year, it directed Milde to incorporate a Master Calendar of Events into the special-event permit review. A month ago, on Nov. 8, the Parks and Recreation Committee reviewed the staff ’s work and forwarded it on to the city council for action. The council’s discussion on Monday was to review this revised Policy

for Special Events and City Partnerships, and the revisions to the Healdsburg Municipal Code it entailed.
Categories
The new Special Events Policy’s main innovation is to split the city events into three categories: City of Healdsburg Events – Events produced and managed by the city, including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Tuesdays in the Plaza, Merry Healdsburg! and more. Partnership Events – Events that receive city support through fee waivers, in-kind equipment or services, and donated staff time. These Partnership events themselves have three levels, with the city’s partnership level depending on the degree of its involvement: Sponsor: Limited to events with minimal equipment needs which require confirmation for the use of city property; ➝ Special Events, 2
LOCAL AT-RISK WOMAN FOUND DECEASED MICHELE PAUL LOCATED IN BOONVILLE DEC. 4 Staff Report
Photo Courtesy Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office
SILVER ALERT The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office posted
this image and description of Michele Paul, and the vehicle she was thought to be driving, on Nov. 29.
A weeks-long search for missing Geyserville resident Michele Paul, an 81-year-old woman with “cognitive issues,” ended tragically Monday afternoon when she was found dead in Boonville, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff ’s Office. Her car was found nearby, “several miles down a dirt road on a large rural property,” a sheriff ’s press release said. Deputies found Paul after responding to “a call for service regarding a suspicious vehicle”
on Mountain View Road, with help from a searchand-rescue team, the press release said. “No obvious indicators of foul play were discovered.” The Healdsburg Police Department and California Highway Patrol originally issued a Silver Alert for Paul last Tuesday, Nov. 28, after loved ones reported her missing on Nov. 27, Police Chief Matt Jenkins said. By the next day, local police had handed off the case to the sheriff. Sonoma County residents reported a few sightings of Paul in the weeks since she was last seen at her Geyserville home on Nov. 14. First, an employee at a Healdsburg business said they spotted Paul come
into the store a few times. Soon after, on the afternoon of Nov. 25, someone in the lower Russian River area thought they saw her “wearing sweats and driving a black 2019 Volkswagen Jetta” westbound on Highway 116, according to the sheriff ’s office. And that same day, others claimed on social media that they saw her Jetta driving erratically along the coast. In Facebook posts and comments, Healdsburg neighbo r s remembered Paul as a former mainstay of Parkpoint Health Club in town and a regular at Shelton’s Natural Foods Market, calling her a “wonderful woman” and a “lovely lady” who had been having some mental issues later in life.

Downtown Hotel ➝1
project application’s acceptance by city staff revealed it was “deemed complete” a day late, and thus needed to comply with the Hotel Ordinance 1181, passed in December 2018. Then that error was overtaken by another, the failure of the city staff to properly “notice” the new ordinance. That required the ordinance limiting downtown hotel size to five rooms or less to be passed anew, during which process the larger hotel proposal was allowed to keep its pre-ordinance size. One of the concerns raised over this latest plan from Piazza
Hospitality—which would be its fourth hotel in downtown Healdsburg— was the scale of the project. Though proposed as a 16-room hotel, the overall design includes 11 twobedroom units and five three-bedroom units, for a total of 37 beds overall. Additionally, the plan includes 2,165 square feet of retail space and a “small restaurant” of 1,779 square feet on the ground floor.

A denial would have surely sent the issue to the city council on appeal. That seems unlikely at this point, as Piazza got what it wanted and opposition to the project, though widespread throughout the community, is without formal organization. The procedural errors Luks spoke of erupted earlier this year, when a close look at the timing of the

Turning the Page at County Library DARA BRADDS TAKES NEW SEAT AS DEPUTY DIRECTOR By Kary Hess
oversees the library’s largest divisions, including the public services division, which is responsible for managing all library branches throughout the county. This role places her at the forefront of shaping and working with the library’s community engagement programs. Beyond her new professional commitments, Bradds is acclimating to Sonoma County and its vibrant surroundings. She expressed her delight with the area by saying, “I am enjoying my new home in Santa Rosa. It is a great location to easily access hiking and wine tasting, my two favorite pastimes.” This newfound appreciation for the local landscape aligns well with the county’s reputation for its natural beauty and its renowned vineyards and wineries. Bradds has a son and a stepdaughter, both 19 years old and coincidentally born just five months apart. Currently residing in San Diego, her
stepdaughter is navigating her freshman year at San Diego State University, while her son is in his second year at MiraCosta College. Additionally, Bradds is a proud owner of three dogs, one of which serves as her loyal hiking companion, while the others prefer a more relaxed lifestyle. “The other two are couch potatoes,” she said, laughing. As Bradds settles into her role as deputy director at the Sonoma County Library, her extensive experience in library management is poised to contribute significantly to the continued growth and success of the countywide library system. With her passion for community engagement and a keen interest in the county’s local offerings, she is well-positioned to play a crucial role in enhancing local library services and fostering a love for literature and learning in the vibrant Sonoma County community.

In a significant development for the Sonoma County Library, Dara Bradds has recently joined the administrative team as deputy director, becoming the second-in-command within the countywide library system. As author Neil Gaiman said, “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers; a librarian can bring you back the right one.” And in this case, the right answer is Bradds. Since assuming her new role in September, she has brought a wealth of knowledge and understanding to overseeing the library’s 15 public locations throughout the county. Erika Thibault, the director of the Sonoma County Library, expressed her appreciation for the addition of Bradds to the
leadership team. Said Thibault, “I’m so grateful to have an experienced library administrator in this role. Dara brings a variety of skills and experience to the position of deputy director.” Bradds’ journey in the world of libraries commenced in Ohio, where she served as a reference librarian in the business & technology division of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Reflecting on her early career, Bradds said, “I have enjoyed a variety of library roles,” including a stint with the Ohio Historical Society. Subsequently, she ventured to New Hampshire, where she held five progressively responsible positions before accepting the role of library director at the Escondido Public Library in Southern California. Her trajectory eventually led her to Sonoma County, where she has now assumed her current role. In her capacity as deputy director, Bradds

It’s REIBT Weekend at HHS 74TH YEAR OF INVITATIONAL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

TAKING A SHOT An unidentified Healdsburg High
basketball player (#22) takes a jump shot over the defense in a 1950s game in the REIBT, or Redwood Empire Invitational Basketball Tournament.
Starting Wednesday, Dec. 6, 16 basketball teams from all over Northern California will compete in the 74th annual REIBT at Healdsburg High School. Eight boys teams and eight girls teams will vie in the elimination tournament during the next several days until the championship matches on Saturday night. Girls finalists will play at 6:30pm, boys teams at 8pm, both at Smith Robinson Gym on the high school campus. Complete schedules and updates can be found at reibt.org. Given the venerable history of the tournament—its
75th anniversary will be played next year—it’s fitting we dig into the archives of the Hound’s Bark, the school newspaper at Healdsburg High. We found the following article, written in 2021 by Graham Macdonald (Class of 2022), himself a star player on the Healdsburg Greyhounds varsity team, as a 6’ 8” center. “Redwood Empire Invitational Basketball Tournament or REIBT is the oldest continuous basketball tournament in Northern California. Started in 1949 REIBT has a long deep-rooted history in this town. Founded by Art McCaffrey it was a way to fill in time between football season and the start of league basketball. It started as a fairly small tournament with the only
teams participating were the seven teams from the North Bay League, Section II. “The REIBT committee wanted the tournament to be much larger. In the ’50s the committee sent an invitation to the then-Soviet Union to send a team to the tournament as a publicity stunt. This made headlines across the country, and in 1959 teams from all over Northern California were participating. Later, in 1966, REIBT got its first international team which drove 51 hours from El Salvador. Ten high schools from Canada have also played in the tournament. This now-prestigious tournament drew in even more local attention, causing some of the games to be so packed that everyone in the crowd would have to stand.
“In 1985 a girls bracket was implemented into the tournament. Now more games were being played than ever before spread across a couple of days. Both the Smith Robinson gym and the old Junior High School gym had to be used. “There haven’t been many dynasties in REIBT’s long history until recently. Our own Healdsburg Hounds boys team is currently on a four-year-long winning streak which is the first time that a team has ever won four years in a row. Unfortunately, this year (2021) will be the first time since 1949 that REIBT will not be played. “This tournament is rich with history and will only get richer as the years go on.”
Girls Back on Track After Tough Loss TOURNAMENT LOSS TO SAN MARIN FOLLOWED BY NEAR-SHUTOUT OVER NAPA By Caleb Knudsen
After winning their first six games this season, Healdsburg’s girls basketball team was finally defeated last week, falling 32-18 to San Marin in the first round of the Piner tournament. “It was a battle between two extraordinary defensive teams of which neither were able to produce points to start the game,” said coach Jim Lago following the Nov. 30 match. “Healdsburg never got into a shooting rhythm in the first half and were just not themselves in the second.” No team member scored more than Ashely Behrens’ 7 points, despite what coach Jim Lago called Hannah Sellards’ “absolutely impressive performance in an otherwise disappointing game.” The next night was different. Very different. Healdsburg rebounded to hold Napa to zero points by shots from the court and only 3 points overall from free throws. “After an extremely disappointing loss on Thursday vs. San Marin, where we were simply unable to
put the ball into the basket, we came out on all cylinders vs. Napa on Friday,” said Lago. “From the tip off our stifling defense was just too much for them, and with quality minutes from every player there was never any doubt as to who would prevail.” The 47-3 drubbing of Napa was a team effort, led by senior Hailey Webb’s 13 points (and 10 steals!) and sophomore Meher Dhiman’s 10 points. That set the stage for Saturday’s meeting with Santa Rosa High for the consolation championship in the tournament (San Marin was the overall winner). “Santa Rosa is an extraordinary team who plays just like we do,” said Lago. “We knew they would be a challenge so we went in focused on playing hard from the tip off.” The mental preparation paid off, and Healdsburg won every quarter. They led 18-11 at the half and walked away with a 35-15 victory. Scoring was again guided by Webb’s 12 points (and another 10 steals), followed by Ruby Leffew’s 6 points and several girls with 4 each. This weekend the Healdsburg girls kicked off the local Redwood Empire Invitational Basketball tournament (REIBT) with a game against Ukiah on Wednesday night (results too late for press time).
Last year the Lady Hounds went 2-1 in the tournament, losing to Arcata in the second round. Participating teams this year in the girls REIBT tourney are Arcata, Upper Lake, Ukiah, Fortuna, Middletown, Justin-Siena and McKinleyville, as well as the Healdsburg hosts.
Boys Basketball
The boys varsity team is having a tougher go of it this year, but they finally broke through to their second win of the year on Dec. 2, with a narrow 5046 victory over Roseland University Prep (RUP) in St. Helena’s Sutter Home Classic Tournament. Healdsburg’s Thatcher Little earned a spot on the alltourney roster. The win over RUP ended a four-game losing streak dating back to the Nov. 16 cross-town match against Rio Lindo Adventist. Tuesday night this week they faced neighboring Cloverdale High, which improved their record to 3-3- with a 54-49 win over the 2-6 Greyhounds. Next they will compete in this weekend’s REIBT. Other boys teams in the annual invitational tournament include Kelseyville, Tamalpais, Ukiah, Archie Williams, San Domenico, Roseland College Prep and South Fork.

CORKAGE
BYOB Comes With a Cost
By Chris Andrews
RICHARD B. IVERSON November 2, 1926 - November 3, 2023
Richard was a beloved husband and grandfather. Richard was preceded in death, in 2014, by his wife of 60+ years, Barbara Iverson. Richard also mourned the loss of his grandson, Sam, in 2020. Richard is survived by his son Daniel (Mae) Rocklin, CA, daughter Wendy Healdsburg, CA, son Thomas (Sasa) Sacramento, CA, son John (Jilli) Windsor, CA, granddaughter Lauren (Tyler) Seattle, WA, cousins, nieces, and nephews. Richard will be deeply missed by all who know him. Richard served in the Navy during WWII, sailing a tugboat across the Pacific Ocean to Shanghai. He also served in the Korean War as a Lieutenant in the Army. Richard graduated from UC Davis and ran two Buick dealerships with his brother, Don, until 1975 when he moved the family to Healdsburg to operate his newly purchased Coast-to-Coast Hardware store. After 10 years of being in the hardware business, Barbara said she was ready to travel, so Richard sold the business and visited China, Ireland, France, Turkey, Finland, Mexico, Haiti, and the Czech Republic, to name just a few of their adventures. Richard loved being of service to the community. He was a lifelong member of Kiwanis, volunteered to support seniors through HICAP, volunteered until age 95 on the finance committee and Board of the Riverview HOA. He supported the restoration of the Drum Barracks, in Wilmington, CA, saving it from destruction. The Drum Barracks, also known as Camp Drum and the Drum Barracks Civil War Museum, is the last remaining original American Civil War-era military facility in the Los Angeles area. A celebration of life will be held on January 6, 2023 at 1:00 pm at the Riverview Club house. We invite all friends and family to join us in honoring Richard’s memory and sharing stories of his remarkable life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made to the Kiwanis Club of Healdsburg in Richard’s name. May Richard rest in eternal love and peace with his beloved wife, Barbara.

Rising Costs of Corkage
As one might expect, SingleThread, which is highly invested in its wine cellar and 160-page wine menu, charges a pricey $150/bottle corkage fee, with only one outside bottle allowed per two guests. This policy puts them on par with neighboring Napa’s 3-Michelin star restaurant, the French Laundry. Barndiva has an exceptional wine list, yet it allows up to two outside bottles at $40 corkage per, while Second Story, with its vegan prix fixe menu, charges $60 for corkage on outside wines. It will, however, drop the corkage to $45 if house wines are also purchased. Newly popular Troubadour Bread & Bistro, which transforms into an intimate pop-up dining establishment in the evenings, accommodates outside wine at a bracing $50/ bottle. Most of Healdsburg’s favorite pizzerias, as well
as the Baci Café and Wine Bar with its highbrow renditions of classic Italian dishes, offer reasonable corkage fees of $10-$25, waived with a purchase of their wines. The only exception is woodfire specialist Molti Amici, which charges a $40 corkage on all outside bottles, no exceptions.
On a Budget
Casual dining establishments in downtown Healdsburg are neighborly, with low or non-existent corkage fees. These include Healdsburg Bar & Grill, The Wurst, Healdsburger and the Mexican taquerias. Also on the low end, Agave Healdsburg, with its authentic Oaxacan cuisine, offers corkage of only $8 on outside bottles. A great deal. Three doors down, Bollywood Kitchen offers reasonably priced wines paired specifically with the flavors of their Indian and Nepalese foods, but customers can still bring in their own for a modest $10/bottle. Ditto for casual KINSmoke with its exceptional barbecue and smoked meats. Area establishments that hover between casual and fine dining generally maintain reasonable corkage fees. Guiso Latin Fusion comes in at $20/ bottle for corkage. Stark’s Bravas Bar de Tapas has a $25/bottle corkage fee, though it’s waived with the purchase of a house wine. But their Willi’s Seafood &
COST OF CORKAGE Opening a bottle of wine that a customer brings to the table is part of the overall cost of dining out. Raw Bar charges $25/bottle on the first two outside bottles, then $35/bottle on each additional one. For those wanting to pair great wines from their cellar or wine-tasting purchases with dinner out at a local restaurant, the area’s
corkage rates range from competitive to extravagant. In either case, show appreciation to the server by providing a gratuity commensurate with what would have been paid on a comparable bottle if purchased off the restaurant’s list.

additional bottle of wine purchased from their inhouse wine list. When there’s a great cab sitting in the wine rack at home that could use a night out, consider Goodnight’s Prime Steak. Their corkage fee is $40, but it can disappear altogether if a second bottle is purchased off the menu. Similarly, the Madrona charges $40/bottle for corkage, which is waived for each bottle matched by a purchase from their cellar.

It goes without saying that nearly all Healdsburg restaurants offer a respectable wine list, but despite this, many patrons still want to bring in their own bottles. For good reason, as the cost of dining out has started to pinch the pocketbooks. But consumers are unlikely to save much once they account for sometimes-high corkage fees—the amount a restaurant charges for opening and serving a bottle brought in from outside. With many occasions for dining out in coming weeks, diners should be reassured that Healdsburg is pretty darn friendly when it comes to corkage fees. Several restaurants have discounted or waived fees for local wines brought in.
The basic pattern at many local restaurants seems to be a variation on buy one, get one free. Dry Creek Kitchen leads the parade with their “no corkage fee on localto-Sonoma County wines” policy, and a reasonable $30 corkage fee on all other bottles. It might be noted that Charlie Palmer’s “Progressive American” menu, based on grown local and seasonal ingredients, resonates especially well with regional wines, a consideration that applies to other area eateries as well. At the lower end in the fine-dining category is Chalkboard, with $25 corkage, which is waived with the purchase of one of their own wine options for a second bottle. The popular Spoonbar charges no corkage on the first bottle of local-to-Sonoma County wine, and thereafter, corkage is $20/bottle, regardless of origin. Even the Michelin-rated Valette lists a corkage fee of $25/ bottle, waived for every

made of natural corkwood, which is widely planted and harvested in Portugal.
