The rumor that Joey Gomes was leaving baseball for football proved unfounded, but it’s a reminder that Prune Packer season begins June 5.

From the City of Healdsburg
Healdsburg City Hall was standing-room-only as community
members came together to celebrate accomplishments and legacies at the April 6 Healdsburg City Council meeting.
The council honored the Healdsburg High School Varsity Girls Basketball Team for “exceptional determination, resilience, and teamwork throughout the 2025–2026 season” on its way to winning its first North Coast Section title since 1995. The council praised the team for their success, with Councilmember Mitchell noting that “Healds-
burg is a great place and you make it even better.”
The next proclamation declared that April is “Arts, Culture and Creativity Month in the City of Healdsburg.” The proclamation recognized that “arts, culture and creativity are essential public goods, vital for the health and growth of thriving communities.” Noah Jeppson and Michiko Conklin of the Arts & Culture Commission accepted it.

The point is the pizza
● Acre lands at Mill Street Row
By Christian Kallen
The hottest ticket in town on Monday, April 6, arrived unannounced—a soft opening of the newest restaurant in Healdsburg, Acre Pizza.
The last time so much local attention focused on the globally popular quick dinner occurred in August 2022, when JC-district favorite Mambo’s opened in the Vineyard Plaza. It joined a comfortable cadre of local pizzerias, from casual (Round Table) to more bespoke (Pizzando).
Acre, however, is a long-anticipated addition to the growing Mill Street Row collection of businesses spawned by the renovation of the old Mill Street Antiques collective space at 44-B Mill St. Just a few short months ago Quail & Condor opened its expansive new bakery café at 44-J Mill St., and now it will take just a few steps around the corner to get from café to pizza at Acre.
That alone lends the newest pizza place in town certain sta-
tus—and it’s only the fourth Acre in the county, joining pizzerias in Petaluma, Cotati and Sebastopol’s Barlow. The name might be familiar to coffee lovers, as Acre Coffee at one time had six local coffee houses in the county and one in San Francisco.
“But when Covid came, we added pizza to two locations and closed the others down,” said Steve DeCosse, co-owner of the small chain with his wife, Sandra. “We kept making the pizza, and it became busy because everybody could do takeout.”
They took playful advantage of Covid concerns, too, giving away a free roll of toilet paper with each pizza.
The jump from coffee to pizza may not sound like a natural progression, but both commodities are common and premiere, the sort of products that many consumers enjoy frequently, and rely on quality and service to retain brand loyalty.

Another justifiably feel-good proclamation acknowledged volunteerism, a core value in Healdsburg. The proclamation “Recognizing April 2026 as National Volunteer Appreciation Month and thanking our volunteers throughout the community for their service” was accepted by perennial volunteer Cindy Martin.
The flurry of gratitude concluded with the annual Marie Sparks Volunteer of the Year Award. The annual program was started in 1996 after the death of Marie Sparks, well known and recognized for her volunteer efforts in the community. Sparks is remembered for her passion, persistence and grit, which encouraged many to join her in volunteering.
The 2025 recipient, Susan Sheehy, has many years’ experience volunteering with school projects, the Healdsburg Kiwanis Club, the Alexander Valley Ladies Aid and more recently with the Healdsburg Museum & Historical Society.
Many of Sheehy’s admirers, friends and family members attended the Monday meeting, and when invited to the podium she wasted no time recruiting coun-
cil members to join in her latest volunteer projects. “I feel most comfortable serving, participating and helping,” Sheehy said, reflecting on her passion for volunteering.
The final agenda item on the council agenda was to discuss a disappointing turn of events. The City intended to install “underground” utilities on Grove Street, from West Grant Street to Dry Creek Road. The project would have eliminated overhead power and communications lines and brought slightly over 30 utility customers into the city electric system.
However, the project relied on the financial and logistical cooperation of PG&E, AT&T and Comcast, all of which are resisting participation, leaving the project roughly $2 million short. After a discussion of alternatives and the recognition that postponing this project put another Grove Street improvement project in danger of losing grant funds, the council agreed to reject bids and move on to infrastructure work that is not reliant on reluctant partners. The City plans to break ground later this year on construction of improved sidewalks, lighting and related improvements on Grove Street.
The next Healdsburg City Council meeting takes place at 6pm on Monday April 20 at Healdsburg City Hall.

MUSIC
Blues from the Hill Country
family friends the Allman Brothers. He coupled that with spending considerable time forming bonds with juke-joint blues families whose patriarchs were latter-day legends, like Junior Kimbrough, R. L. Burnside and Othar Turner.
The 53-year-old guitar player’s own non-NMA experiences included a stint as a member of the Black Crowes, but it was a post-Crowes experience with the late Phil Lesh that really honed the latter-day NMA’s sound.
By Dave Gil de Rubio
“Modern Mississippi music.” If you ask singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Luther Dickinson to define what the North Mississippi Allstars (NMA) create, that’s the answer he’ll give. It’s the path he and his brother Cody have been traveling down ever since NMA dropped their 2000 debut, Shake Hands with Shorty, and one the band members will share when they hit stages on their latest tour.
“By the time we made Shake Hands with Shorty, our recipe was Mississippi Hill Country and sacred steel cross-bred with our stoner/punk/low-rez psychedelic jam,” Dickinson said in a recent interview. “I would never presume to call myself a blues musician, but growing up in Mississippi we were surrounded by so many traditional families that played hardcore blues. We always brought our own influences into everything we did, be it psychedelia, production ideas or whatever. I never aspired to be traditional, hardcore blues. And the connotations are heavy.
“Another phrase that I like is ‘roots music,’ he continued. “Listening to Ryan Coogler’s interviews that accompanied the Sinners movie, his straight-up quote is that genre [itself] is an instrument of segregation and racism. I don’t want any part of that.”
NMA’s current tour brings them to the Luther Burbank Center on May 9, with blues legend Bobby Rush, whose own latest brush with fame came playing harmonica in the movie Sinners, and again on the Oscar-night musical presentation.
This musical journey coincides with the quartet’s 12th and most recent studio outing, Still Shakin,’ which commemorates the 25th anniversary of NMA’s debut. But rather than hitting the road and playing the first record in its entirety, the Dickinson siblings, along with NMA bandmates Ray Ray Holloman (Eminem; Ne-Yo) and Joey Williams (Blind Boys of Alabama), recorded 11 new songs with a collective of sidemen.
The album opens with “Preachin’ Blues,” a real stomper fueled by soar-
ing pedal steel and a pounding rhythm that is a one-way street to handclaps and hip-shaking. Still Shakin’ is packed with an array of infectious jams. Highlights range from the call-and-response, jam-bandflavored gospel of “Pray For Peace,” featuring a spirited vocal turn by Williams; to the fat-back funk of “Poor Boy” paced by Burnside and “Monomyth (Folk Hero’s Last Ride)”; to the ethereal closing instrumental dedicated to the Dickinsons’ storied late father, Memphis record producer Jim Dickinson.
The eclectic nature of the NMA sound stems from the openness with which Luther Dickinson approaches his craft, which was further honed during the pandemic when he fleshed out his home-studio skills. It carried over to this recent project.
“The musicians I was working with, multi-instrumentalists Ray-Ray [Holloman] and Joey [Williams], are so great and their contributions were so powerful, that it really became an inspiration—to feature them,” Dickinson said.
Dickinson’s live approach to playing music started out with him immersing himself in the sounds of Jimi Hendrix and
“Leaving the Crowes wasn’t an easy move to make, but I’m glad I did because shortly thereafter was when Phil Lesh started calling me,” Dickinson said. “That led to a whole new community, a whole new repertoire, a whole new experience.”
With a dozen albums recorded under the NMA banner, not to mention side projects like the recently released Dead Blues: Vol. 1, an interpretive platter of blues covers the Grateful Dead recorded, Dickinson has plenty of musical options for his concert set lists. Even so, he knows there’s a balance to strike that he’s more than happy to honor.
“I don’t blame anybody for it, but we definitely have fans who still want to hear the first record—I know how it goes,” Dickinson said. “We really enjoy playing the new stuff and we’re working up new stuff for our next record as well. But we also play foundational songs off the first record and mix it up with whatever we’ve got cooking. Even if it’s a batch of 30 or 40 songs, I have to switch it up and can’t just do the same set list night after night.”
The North Mississippi Allstars and Bobby Rush appear at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts on Saturday, May 9. Tickets $50-$75 plus fees, at lutherburbankcenter.org/event/north-mississippi-allstars-bobby-rush26/.

Pizza
— Continued from page 1
Each style of pizza has its adherents, and while DeCosse is a bit reluctant to narrow down his approach to the dish, some common themes emerge. The crust is a sourdough that ferments for 72 hours. Central Milling flour is used. “And sourcing’s very important. We carry Sonoma County meats and local produce, so we have a little bit of elevated nuance to it, but we try to keep it affordable,” he said.
Acre also uses Pizza Master electric ovens, which keep the temperature constant on top and bottom. And DeCosse is a big advocate of pre-roasting the vegetables before they’re put on the pizza to go in the oven. This, he insists, helps to avoid the dreaded “floppy pizza.”
“We pre-roast all the veggies on the pizza, so you don’t get any of that moisture,” he said. “You bring out the flavor when you roast a bell pepper or a mushroom or broccoli or anything. You get rid of the moisture, which waters the pizza down and slows down the cooking. And then you get that pop of flavor, that umami.”
Acre Pizza focuses its menu on slic-
es, rather than whole pies, and four to six pizzas are usually ready for serving by the slice, each slice being a full quarter of a 16-inch pizza. The slices are courteously cut in half for more reasonable handling.
For its first day, veterans from other Acre locations staffed the Healdsburg Acre kitchen to help work out the kinks of production and service.
Monday’s “soft open” hours were posted as 3-6pm on the sign outside, though after about a week they’ll change to 11:30am to 8pm, and until 9pm on weekends.
On the dot as if by magic, two families entered to grab a slice, a pie or both.
Justin Lee, wife Susan and daughter Calia, from Los Altos, knew Acre from its Sebastopol location at the Barlow, where they heard a new branch was opening in Healdsburg.
David and Lena Martinez, of Lincoln (Placer County) and all seven of their children, took a table and ordered a range of slices. They were headed to Hendy Woods, in Mendocino, on a family camping trip, but dropped by when they saw the signs.
Both families were intrigued to learn they were the first to patronize the new Acre Pizza in Healdsburg—but only mildly so. The point, after all, was the pizza.

SPORTS
Winning big at Rec Park
By Caleb Knudsen
The Healdsburg Greyhounds varsity baseball team continues to put up strong numbers in its 2026 season, both in league games—they are 4-1—and overall with a 10-3 record. They only lost one game at home all year, an unfortunate 10-1 fail against Analy on March 25. Things have improved since then. Last week the team added to a two-game winning streak with an April 2 squeaker over Santa Rosa, 2-1, and a much more comfortable crushing of Piner the next day, 29-2. Two back-to-back innings of 11 or more runs put the game out of reach; Piner’s
only two runs came in the top of the fifth.
In particular it was a record day for Henry Smith, who started the game on the mound and struck out five in three innings of work for the win. But it was from the batter’s box that Smith made his biggest impact, driving in seven runs on four hits, including two doubles and a triple. Hayden Mariani, Dillan Jocius and Alex Espinosa each had three RBIs as the Hounds cruised to a win over the hapless Prospectors, who are now 0-7 on the year, 0-4 in the league.
The only baseball local game this week is a scheduled Wednesday meeting with
Montgomery at Rec Park, followed by another game against Montgomery at their field on Friday. Each team in the NCS-Redwood league plays every other team three times; Healdsburg beat the Vikings 13-3 on March 13 in their first meeting.
The rest of the baseball schedule shows a series of similar back-to-back games against league rivals through May 8—first Analy, then St. Vincent, then Santa Rosa and back to Piner. The only non-league game in that span is a Saturday April 25 meeting against Napa at Rec Park.
Softball
Claire Berry hit two triples, Ashley Jenkins hit another and the Healdsburg Lady Hounds rallied for 13 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to crush Terra Linda’s hopes of a second win this season last Friday at Healdsburg High.
When Healdsburg came to the plate in the middle of the fourth they were down a run, 4-3, but the batters kept coming to the box and crossing the plate to pile up an unbeatable 12-run lead, leading to the invocation of the mercy rule.
The final score was 13-4, the second lopsided victory for Healdsburg in as many days. The previous day, Thursday
April 2, the Lady Hounds crushed Santa Rosa, 20-1, to break a four-game losing streak. That was Healdsburg’s first league win of the season; they are now 1-2 in the Redwood, 5-5 on the year.
Mia Halvorsen continues to lead the team on the mound and at the plate—her batting average of .444 is a notch ahead of Berry’s .429, her on-base percentage is .605, she has scored 19 runs and she’s tied with Lily Farrer with eight stolen bases. Farrer is also backing up Halvorsen as a pitcher.
Two home games are scheduled this week, against league-leading Ukiah (3-0) on Tuesday (results too late for press time) and Thursday against Elsie Allen (0-3). A non-league contest follows on Friday against Maria Carrillo.
The home games on the HHS campus usually draw a few parents and friends, but they are open to anyone who wants to drop by the corner of Monte Vista and University for an uplifting exposure to team loyalty and support. Go Hounds! We hope to broaden our coverage soon of other spring sports including boys golf and tennis, and both boys and girls teams in track & field, swimming and badminton.

● Former mayor ‘encouraged’ at No Kings
By Evelyn Mitchell
I was encouraged to see so many Healdsburg residents turn out. I believe this speaks volumes about how deeply our community cares and how willing people are to show up for one another. For me, being present [at the No Kings rally] was not optional. While I attended as an individual, my role on the City Council carries a profound responsibility to do everything I can to protect and support our community. The decisions being made in Washington are not distant or theoretical. They are directly impacting Healdsburg through funding cuts and broader efforts that challenge our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. I agree we are fortunate to live in a place as special as Healdsburg, but I see that less as privilege and more as a reflection of a community that actively chooses to engage, support one another and stand up for shared values. The strong turnout is clear evidence of that spirit.

● Nigerian Dwarf goats among several breeds with African roots
By Pierre Ratte
On a personal level, I did not anticipate the extent of the challenges we are now facing—from threats to fundamental rights and freedoms, to renewed conflict abroad, to the erosion of protections many of us once believed were settled. I am particularly concerned about the future of our democracy, the well-being of our Latino community and the continued protection of women’s rights. Moving backward on issues like a woman’s right to choose is deeply troubling. These are not abstract policy debates—they are real, immediate impacts felt by our neighbors every day. They are shaping the fabric of our community and affecting the lives of our residents in tangible ways.
As both a community member and a council member, I remain committed to listening, engaging and doing everything I can to ensure Healdsburg continues to be a place where all people feel safe, valued and represented.
Despite their name, Nigerian Dwarf goats are not strictly from Nigeria. They hail from West African breeds which made their way on ships to the U.S. in the 1930s-1950s as company and food for imported zoo animals. Surviving goats were exhibited in zoos and subsequently domesticated.
Two types of goats emerged from this unusual breeding stock—Dwarf and Pygmy goats. Dwarf goats are dairy goats with a slender build, long legs and flat bones. Pygmy goats are stocky with short legs and round bones and are bred for meat or domestication. The American Goat Society recognized pet Pygmy goats in 1976, Nigerian Dwarfs in 1984.
Nigerian Dwarfs often give birth to twins and triplets. The cuties in the photo above, two rams and a doe named “Hope,” were born last week and are seen here less than 12 hours after their birth. Hope, the one in the middle with a heart-shaped blaze on her forehead, is smaller and struggling to compete with her brothers. She’s being cared for by Margie, a loving vet. We hope Hope makes it. Stay tuned.
FUN FACTS: Nigerian Dwarf goats live 8-12 years. They are horned or hornless
and have blue or brown eyes. Females are polyestrous and breed year-round. They are docile, curious and cuter than the dickens. Weights average 40-60 pounds. Milk production: 1 quart per day with 6-10% butterfat.
The American Goat Society recognizes nine breeds: Nigerian Dwarf, Pygmy, Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Sable and Toggenburg; two miniature breeds and seven standard-sized, respectively. Saanen, Alpine, Oberhasli and Toggenburgs originated in the Alps. LaManchas, developed in the U.S. by crossing Spanish and Swiss stock, are distinguished by silly, small, sideways ears. Nubian goats, on the other hand, have long, floppy ears; they thrive in hotter climes and originated in the Middle East.
Other lesser recognized breeds include: Angora goats, which produce mohair—not to be confused with Angora rabbits which produce Angora wool; Tennessee Fainting goats (Myotonic goats) which actually don’t faint—they fall over from a genetic condition causing muscle stiffness for 10-20 seconds when stressed.
The American Goat Society, founded in 1935, is one of two main registries in the U.S. The largest and oldest association is the American Dairy Goat Association, originally founded in 1904 as the Milch Goat Association—meaning milking goats. There are at least four other goat registries and associations in the U.S.

UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 06/22/2021. 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. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check(s) drawn on a state or national bank must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation, 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; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made in an “as is” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: Emma Dubois Ballard and Michael Graham Ballard, wife and husband, as joint tenants Duly Appointed Trustee: National Default Servicing Corporation Recorded 06/23/2021 as Instrument No. 2021073042 (or Book, Page) of the Official Records of Sonoma County, California. Date of Sale: : 05/06/2026 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: In the Plaza at Fremont Park, Fremont Park, 860 Fifth Street, Santa Rosa, CA 95401 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $667,248.01 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 100 Zapata Ct, Windsor, CA 95492 A.P.N.: 161-260-038-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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 requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. 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 website www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 25-03265-GM-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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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 a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” you may be able to 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 888-264-4010, or visit this internet website www. ndscorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-03265-GM-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 a “representative of all eligible tenant buyers” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE: To the extent that the sale is subject to Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule (31 C.F.R. Part 1031), purchaser agrees to provide all required information and further agrees to reimburse trustee for any costs, expenses or fees incurred as a result of the collection of such information *Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.
