Rhapsodies

Crop Mob

Thank you, SJOutsideTheBubble (Letters, May 6)! Finally somebody gets it. Sort of anyway. The ﬁx is in, people; it’s all about population control. Global warming, indeed. The planet is now and always has been constantly changing, just like every other living thing. That’s the way it works. Ice age—ever hear of it? Everything changes. There’s also plenty of water; it’s just coming

down in different places. How about getting pissed off about our polluted freshwater? How about getting a little upset about the islands of ﬂoating garbage in our oceans.

And to ‘John Galt’: Sorry, pal but that’s what they want; point the ﬁnger at others, blame others, keep us at one another’s throat. Don’t fall for it, don’t be fooled.

The array of letters in response to your “Crop Priority” article was most aptly juxtaposed next to Tom Tomorrow’s “Helpful Responses to Baltimore.” The logic in these rants displays symptoms of the same neural deﬁciency characterized in each of the cartoon frames. Despite how sad it is that logic and critical thinking skills have diminished so profoundly this century, it makes for hilarious copy. Thanks for posting.

BOHO BEAU West County

By Tom Tomorrow

Cap and Charade

Several months ago, the city of Santa Rosa paid $300,000 to clean up west Sonoma County’s Ocean View Farms’ cow-manure waste pit, enabling the $5 million sale of the former dairy to a Kendall-Jackson executive to move forward. Its pastures are now vineyards. It made me crazy, and I subsequently complained to Santa Rosa council member Gary Wysocky, who sympathized and referred me to the city’s wastewater department for an explanation. The department’s manager delivered a circular justiﬁcation about how a pollution problem had been eliminated via the city of Santa Rosa having purchased pollution “credits” against unspeciﬁed future problems, and that “the environment” was better off, no matter who paid the tab, and that’s what’s important. What? No matter how I argued that the owners of Ocean View Farms had avoided all responsibility for its polluting actions, he would not budge, as if he were in a parallel universe. This is an example of California’s cap and trade program, the shell game that always leaves the taxpayer holding the bag. It hasn’t worked in Europe, where it has largely been abandoned, and it doesn’t work here. WAYNE D. GIBB

The ‘Sun’ will Rise New era of journalism dawns in the North Bay BY STETT HOLBROOK

ave you heard the news? We bought Marin County’s Paciﬁc Sun last week. The paper is the second oldest arts and entertainment weekly in America after the Village Voice, but has been struggling of late. We hope to reinvigorate the paper with a new vision, new ideas and new management.

While the Sun will keep its name, the Bohemian will work with the Sun’s staff to reinvent its business and editorial functions. But it will be an expressly Marin County paper. Bohemian publisher Rosemary Olson will now serve as publisher for the Sun, too. Both papers’ teams are excited to collaborate and deliver a great read for the North Bay. Many changes are already in the works. The Bohemian will no longer circulate in Marin County. The 5,000 copies we distributed in Marin County will go into racks in Sonoma and Napa counties, which is a 20 percent increase in penetration into those two counties, and a 60 percent jump in combined three-county readership. One of my goals is to create a paper that better reflects life in Marin County. That means a greater focus on arts and entertainment, food and drink, local muckraking news and the Marin County lifestyle— cycling, hiking, trail running, paddling, surfing, boating, gardening and all the other outdoor pursuits that define the area. More than anything else, I want the paper to reflect the people of Marin County. That means more profiles on the diverse folks who make Marin County what it is. We’re also planning several design changes in the Sun. Look for a stronger digital presence, too. But these changes won’t happen all at once, so please bear with us during the transition. As for the Bohemian, we will not include as much Marin County coverage but will redouble our efforts in Sonoma and Napa counties. We’ve got new initiatives in store here, too. In an era when daily newspapers are in decline and print media has been declared dying or dead, it’s exciting to be part of a growing investment in local media. Together, the Bohemian and the Pacific Sun are committed to telling the stories that matter to the North Bay. I hope you’ll follow our progress. Let me know what you think at sholbrook@metronews.com.

THE

Paper

DEBR IEFER Reading the Signs Houses and roads are falling into the Paciﬁc Ocean up and down the coast, from the Muir Beach slide on Highway 1 earlier this year, to the stunning collapse of numerous Gleason Beach properties on the Sonoma County coast over the past decade. This whole “oceans rising” thing has a real cost— who’s gonna pay? The problem was on raw display during a standing-room-only meeting at the Bolinas ﬁre station this past Saturday to talk about the fate of the so-called Surfer’s Overlook on Terrace Avenue. The meeting featured a telling bit of hilarity during an exchange between Marin County Supervisor Steve Kinsey and Robert Plotkin, an East Coast native who is also the former—and highly controversial—publisher of the Point Reyes Light.

HAT IN HAND Critics of the Basin Street project say management is paying out-of-town workers low wages.

Year of the Rat In purportedly progressive Sonoma County, why are so few construction projects non-union? BY TOM GOGOLA

very so often in Petaluma you’ll see a big blow-up rat near the site of the Basin Street Properties Riverfront development. It’s a non-union job site just west of Highway 101 along the Petaluma River, and the rat comes courtesy of the building trades and union workers who continue to agitate against Basin Properties.

The claim: The Nevada-based developer created an unhealthy work zone for an underpaid, nonunion labor force. It’s a heavy charge, and the riverfront development is a big deal in Petaluma, which, like so many small cities around the country, has confronted a persistent construction lag that dates to the Great Recession. The 40-acre project offers the renewal of a scruffy piece of turf and promises

over 250 housing units, 90,000 square feet of commercial space, a park, a hotel and a boathouse. But critics say Basin Street and a compliant Petaluma city council pushed the project through at the expense of local workers—and that an environmental review failed to adequately address arsenic levels in the soil. Union officials in the North Bay highlight that Petaluma hasn’t pushed hard ) 10 enough for a living wage

Here’s the story. Engineers have determined that Surfer’s Overlook, a popular spot from which to view the wave action, is going to fall into those waves within a year or two. The town needs to come up with $500,000 for an immediate ﬁx to the road—and there’s another $6 million needed in an as-yet-unscheduled Phase II ﬁx that would shore up the bluffs along Terrace. As of Saturday, Bolinas organizers had raised about $200,000 for Phase I. Marin County pledged to kick in $50,000 as part of its commitment to pay 10 percent of the total Phase I cost, Kinsey told the group. The county is also picking up the tab for ) 10 The Bohemian started as The Paper in 1978.

as the economy sputtered in the aftermath of the 2007 crash. Jack Buckhorn of Local 551 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, says the Basin labor force mirrors the one that built local big-box outlets such as Target. “They’re going with the lowest-wage workers from the Central Valley, at $12 an hour,” he says. “That’s what’s been happening in Petaluma since the Great Recession.” Meanwhile, says Lisa Maldonado of the North Bay Labor Council, those workers should be earning $35 an hour and getting the beneﬁts of union membership—guarantees of worker safety, workers’ comp, healthcare and apprenticeships in their chosen trade. Even if the Basin project is a done deal, she says, “the alive part of this story is that we are trying to get people in the North Bay to see that middle-class jobs are tied up with union building trades. One of the dirty secrets of what’s called ‘scab’ or ‘rat’ construction is that a lot of the times they exploit undocumented workers. People will be happy to be getting $15 an hour, when they should be getting $35.” Basin Street Properties’ general counsel Paul Andronico did not return calls for comment. Petaluma mayor David Glass voted against the Basin plan for reasons that had to do with a proposed synthetic-turf soccer ﬁeld. He supported the project until the decision was made to go with grass—bad idea during a drought. Glass was one of the two “no” votes on the 5–2 Basin project vote, and says, “I’m not going to argue with the fact that the applicant [Basin Properties] had a very friendly city council.” Glass says he is “always for a local hire preference to the extent that you are able to do it,” and is reluctant, he says, to demonize Basin given that Petaluma had no leverage over the composition of the work force. There were no public monies at play in the development. There’s an emergent theme within the scrum over organized labor and its role in the economic

recovery: There’s plenty of antiunion agitating going on in Sonoma County, much of it in the name of progress—not progressive values like a living wage and local employment, however. Locally, much of the heavy anti-union lift is done through the North Coast Builders Exchange (NCBE), a trade association that has consistently opposed so-called project labor agreements. Those agreements are put in place before projects kick into gear and are designed to ensure that workers are treated fairly. Chief executive officer of the NCBE Keith Woods did not return a phone call seeking comment, but a January 2014 op-ed in the Press Democrat, co-written by an NCBE employee, says it all in one loaded headline: “Project labor agreements are bad policy, costly to county.” Local officials walk a fine line that highlights a schism, between “high road” and “low road” development, says Maldonado. She notes that progressive Sonoma County officials nixed a 2012 proposal that would have enacted a blanket policy of project labor agreements for big-ticket county jobs. Sonoma County Supervisor David Rabbitt was one of the “no” votes. He defended his vote and union posture in an email. “My relationship with labor, especially the building trades here in Sonoma County, is not defined by my suggestion of an alternate approach to project labor agreements. I would have gladly supported PLAs and offered a solution that included a bid alternate approach,” he writes. “A bid alternate approach is as transparent as can be and tells the public the cost of a PLA along with its benefits.” Rabbitt went on to defend his relationship with the likes of the left-leaning Service Employees International Union (SEIU ) and notes that “I think one can be supportive while not agreeing on every aspect of every item. Look at the fissure within the Democratic Party on the issue of fast-tracking trade treaties. The president is on a different side from labor. One wouldn’t say he is anti-labor because of that difference.”

DEBRIEFER

whatever permits are needed to expedite the job, which will be done by county public works employees. Otherwise, Kinsey said, Bolinas is on its own to raise the money to fix its road. He cited a previous earth-slide at the top of Terrace that had taken a big piece of the road with it. That event closed the street in 2012. It was fixed with $1.2 million in county money. That’s not happening again. Kinsey explained that the county’s legal obligation insofar as Surfer’s Overlook isn’t the same as it was after the 2012 event. The legal question turns on whether residents can access their homes using the county-maintained road. If the answer is yes, then the county doesn’t have to pay for the repairs. A question-and-answer period ensued, at which point Plotkin said he completely disagreed with Kinsey on the question of the broader value of the Surfer’s Overlook and who should pay for its repair. He urged the county, the state— everyone—to pick up a piece of the tab, given that Surfer’s Overlook is a coastal jewel to be enjoyed by any and all residents of the state or nation at large, including New York transplants. Kinsey shot back that if Bolinas wanted to go that route, it should register Surfer’s Overlook as a place of historical interest— and tell the world to come on down! The knowing crowd of locals let out a collective chuckle at Kinsey’s brushback to Plotkin, since Bolinas doesn’t even tolerate state signs that would tell you how to find the town. —Tom Gogola

FINGER LICKIN’ ROTISSERIE CHICKEN Rosso goes well beyond pizza at its Dutton Avenue spot in Santa Rosa.

That’s Amore Rosso mixes it up at newest location

izza, pasta and salads are a winning combination. Why mess with it? Santa Rosa’s Rosso Pizzeria could have gone with that formula at its North Dutton Avenue location and done just ﬁne. They serve great pizza at their other Santa Rosa and Petaluma locations. But they dug a little deeper and have come up with something better. Fourteen-month-old Rosso

BY STETT HOLBROOK

Rosticceria & Eventi offers pizza, yes, but it’s the rest of the menu that interests me. There’s a bit of everything. The spacious restaurant is surrounded by office parks and caters to desk jockeys with breakfast and an especially good lineup of lunch offerings. You’ll never guess what “eventi” means: events, as in the space is available for private events. I haven’t yet tried breakfast, but I plan to next time I miss the meal at home. Rosso’s got good-looking stuff like a spinach, bacon and pimento-cheese omelet served

on a housemade croissant ($7.50), frittatas ($7.50) and “rotisserie hash” ($11.75)—eggs served with roast chicken or porcetta and peppers, onions, mushrooms, potatoes and bacon. Lunch is the main event. I love a good sandwich, and Rosso has them in spades. Your ﬁrst stop should be the ﬂagship porcetta sandwich ($9) served with salsa verde and arugula dressed with anchovies, parsley, capers and lemon. Rosso’s porcetta, stuffed and roasted boneless pork, was crisp and aromatic, juicy and

delicious. Stacked between ciabatta from the Cousteau Bakery, it’s a high-caliber sando. Just as good was the sirloin tip sandwich ($9), sliced slabs of juicy beef with chimichuri, caramelized onions and housemade aioli and a bowl of delicious beef broth for dunking. All the sandwiches come with a choice of one of two changing side salads. My favorite was the dino kale/quinoa salad. For something more substantial than a sandwich, the rotisserie chicken is great, a quarter bird crisp and juicy from the broiler anointed with dollops of a Sriracha-like sauce. Though I didn’t have a pizza, I did have a “Roman pizza” ($3.50), which is really a crusty, welltoasted plank of focaccia with the toppings of the day. On my day, it was bacon, asparagus and blue cheese. Darn good. One menu highlight is the shoestring fries tossed with strips of Black Pig bacon ($8). Bacon makes most things better, and it definitely elevates these featherweight fried potatoes. I loved the housemade catsup and aioli, but given the small size of the fries and the tiny ramekin the condiments are served in, more went on my fingers than on the fries. The lamb rosticcini ($8), four skewers of tender, oven-roasted lamb seasoned with lemon and harissa, a North African spicy pepper, is another good fingerfood snack. Service is fast and friendly. You order at the counter and grab a number and a seat. I didn’t save room for the good-looking desserts, but I did enjoy the housemade chai and “Hong Kong” black tea made with sweet cream (both $3). There’s also a small, wellchosen lineup of beer and wine. Rosso Rosticceria succeeds because of the quality and variety of its food. It’s quite reasonably priced, too. I could eat here several times a week and still look forward to going back. Rosso Rosticceria & Eventi, 1229 N. Dutton Ave., Santa Rosa. 707.526.1229.

Coffee Kegger Wine on tap? Old news. But how about coffee in a keg? Taylor Maid Farms unveiled this innovation in caffeine delivery last month. The cold coffee pours and looks like a pint of Guinness, frothy head and all. Just like Guinness and a growing number of craft brews, the coffee, in three- and five-gallon steel barrels, is dosed with nitrogen. As in beer, adding nitro to the coffee makes for a creamier, more supple beverage. (But unlike nitrogenated beer, Taylor Maid’s nitro coffee has no carbonation, but maybe that would be cool: coffee soda). Tayor Maid general manager Rob Daly is a fan of the beloved Dublin stout and had it in mind when the coffee was developed. It’s a dark roast that’s cold-brewed for 14 hours. It’s strong stuff that makes for a silky iced coffee and it’s beautiful to watch the ebony liquid pour out of the stainless steel tap. “It pulls like a Guinness,” says Daly. There are a few other coffee makers that offer it on tap, but Daly says Taylor Maid is the first to go with the dark roast, stout-like coffee. Right now, it’s only available at Taylor Maid’s Sebastopol and San Rafael locations, but look for it in restaurants soon. Daly says the company is also exploring a line of canned coffee on nitro with one of those little marbles inside, just like Guinness in a can.

Malt in the Family

Petaluma Hills carves out niche in Petaluma beer barrio BY STETT HOLBROOK

agunitas Brewing Co.’s IPA is the No. 1 selling IPA in California. So it’s a bit bold for an upstart brewery to open shop right across the street from the 500-pound Lagunitas gorilla.

J.J. Jay (yep, his real name) started Petaluma Hills Brewing Company in 2013 after a successful run as a homebrewer. At first, Jay resisted the North McDowell Boulevard location because he didn’t want to be seen as derivative or as a Lagunitas copycat. But when his thenprospective landlord also offered to invest in the beer startup, Jay went for it. He and his crew, which happens to be his wife and adult children, gutted the place and built a comfortable taproom and lounge that has an open view of the gleaming brewery. The taproom opened last July. It’s not only a great place to drink beer, it’s a great place to learn about beer. Beer education is something that Jay promotes to distinguish himself from that other brewery across the street. Jay, who left a career as technical director at Pixar and Dreamworks to brew, can engage visitors as he’s working in the brewery a few steps away. The surrounding neighborhood is reaching a beery critical mass. In addition to Lagunitas and Petaluma Hills, Henhouse Brewing Co. brews in Jay’s brewery and 101 North Brewing Co. is on Scott Street around the corner. (Note to Petaluma city planners: Someone, probably carrying beer in his arms or in his belly, is going to get hit on McDowell. How about a crosswalk? Instead of a black and yellow sign for a pedestrian, it could feature a slightly offkilter dude holding a case of cold ones.) Petaluma Hills does make an IPA (given the demand for hoppy beers, every brewery must), the fine Line & Twine IPA. But the brewery deserves to be known for its maltier, darker brews. “For me, the goal was to produce a full-bodied, well-balanced ale,” says Jay. Porterluma was the first beer Jay brewed, and it’s still his favorite. With its chewy but refreshing flavors of chocolate, malt and mocha (and low alcohol content), it’s one of my favorites too. Also check out the Lampost Ale, a honey-nut brown ale made with black barley, chocolate malt, wheat and honey. It’s a complex, deeply flavorful ale. My favorite, though, is the Big House Blonde, a refreshing, spicy and crisp Belgian style blonde ale. It’s much better suited to warm-weather drinking than a boozy IPA. The taproom features many beers on nitro as well as regular CO2, giving beer fans an opportunity to taste the difference between the two. The nitrogenated beers are highly quaffable and go down smooth and creamy. To see Jay and crew in action, check our video at Bohemian. com. Petaluma Hills Brewing Company, 1333 N.

STILL LIFE WITH FOOD Inside Michele

Anna Jordan’s R&D lab (aka her kitchen).

In the Kitchen with Michele Anna Jordan Sebastopol chef-turned-author tells stories through food

‘Y

ou want to learn how to make a salad? I’ll teach you how to make a salad,” says Michele Anna Jordan, moving quickly through the modest kitchen in her Sebastopol home. Placing a wooden bowl already ﬁlled with mixed greens in front of her, she reaches with her other hand for a two-gallon jar to her left.

“The ﬁrst thing you do when you make a salad is you put salt on it. ‘Insalata’ means that which is salted,” she says. Her hand reaches into the giant salt jar and she waves it over the bowl in concise circles, raining down tiny white crystals of ﬂavor. “Then you put on some really good olive oil,” she continues. “You’re kind of generous with this.” More circling; Jordan is indeed generous. “Then you add a little bit of acid, and for this you can squeeze a lemon on. And

that’s it, that’s your daily salad.” Jordan smiles, red curls spilling over the frames of her glasses. “If you want to get really fancy, you can add some peppercorns.” For Michele Anna Jordan, this isn’t just a salad; it’s a story told through shared experience. And it’s a story she’s been telling since she was seven. This year, the former chef and author of more than 20 books is looking back and telling some of her favorite stories once again, rereleasing four currently out-of-print books from her

Good Cook’s Book series. Each title is infused with new recipes, new narratives and full-color celebrations of tomatoes, mustard, oil and vinegar, and salt and pepper. On May 15, Jordan appears at the Occidental Center for the Arts for a reading and discussion that highlights her most recent rereleases, The Good Cook’s Book of Tomatoes and The Good Cook’s Book of Mustard, as well as her other recent works, More Than Meatballs and Vinaigrettes and Other Dressings. ) 16

16 Michele Anna Jordan ( 15 Born to Eat Jordan was born and raised in Vallejo. “I was born a good eater; my mother was not a good cook,” she says. From an early age, Jordan exhibited a sophisticated palate, one that allowed her to identify watermelons’ peak ripeness at age four and propelled her to order her steak rare before she was in high school. By seven years old, Jordan was throwing dinner parties and recreating dishes by taste alone. “The hardest thing was getting my mother to get the ingredients I wanted,” she laughs. Self-taught in the kitchen, Jordan moved to Sonoma County full-time in 1972, where she attended Sonoma State University for liberal studies, as well as French, Russian and English literature. “I just cooked. I had dinner parties for everybody in college,” she says. Forty years ago, Sonoma County was a very different place. “There was no food scene, but there was a farm scene,” she says. “I used to go out to buy salmon in Bodega Bay. There was Miller’s drive-in dairy in Petaluma. It was an actual drive-in and they had raw milk in glass bottles. There was Sonoma Cheese Factory.” Jordan was soon working in restaurants, learning tricks of the trade on the job and reﬁning her palate. A decade later, she was running professional kitchens, even earning “Outstanding Sonoma County Chef” from the Sonoma County Art Awards in 1989.

Will Write for Food As with cooking, Jordan began writing at a young age, always with an eye to journalism. Yet it wasn’t until she was running Brass Ass Pizza in Cotati in the 1980s that she found an opportunity to write. Bruce Robinson, then an editor at two local papers and now the news director at KRCB where Jordan has long hosted Mouthful, her James Beard–nominated talk show covering food, wine and farming, approached her with an offer. “He said, ‘I’m looking for a food

columnist, why don’t you write for us?’ And he didn’t know me,” explains Jordan. “So I had this three-month anxiety attack, and he called back and said, ‘Are you ever going to write that column?’ So I did, and I never stopped.” Robinson remembers that Jordan was willing to work for free, which was what he could afford to pay her. “What she turned in was great,” he says. “She’s a very effective and enthusiastic advocate for the local food scene. I think she has, in her own substantial way, contributed to the perception of Sonoma County as an attraction.” In 1988, Jordan met an editor at Aris Books and sold him a proposal for A Cook’s Tour of Sonoma, released in 1990. The book was praised for its community focus on Sonoma County at a time when the North Bay was just beginning to ﬂirt with culinary renown. Jordan is perhaps best known for her writing in the Press Democrat, where she has maintained up to four food columns and blogs continuously since 1997. She says she really blossomed as a writer in the early 1990s while freelancing at the Sonoma County Independent, an earlier incarnation of the Bohemian, and the books started coming very quickly. The Good Cook’s Book of Oil & Vinegar kicked-off Jordan’s longrunning series in 1992. The Good Cook’s Book of Mustard followed in 1994, with The Good Cook’s Book of Tomatoes following right after it, in 1995. From there, Jordan covered foodie topics ranging from the seemingly mundane to the sensational. Her works all possess strong narratives to accompany the recipes and topics, and with each dish, Jordan invites readers to share her experience. “I think she’s highy underappreciated,” says Lucas Martin, chef and co-owner of Sebastopol’s K&L Bistro. “She’s deﬁnitely one of the leading voices for farm-to-table. She has a good sensibility about

Lark and Joey are Jordan’s biggest fans.

how she reviews and critiques, with an open mind and equal temperment. She knows there is no wrong or right way about food.” Chef John Ash agrees. “I’ve been a friend and most of all an avid reader of Michele’s work for more than 25 years,” says Ash, himself a venerable ﬁgure in Sonoma County cuisine. “She has the unique ability to take even simple subjects like salt or mustard and help us all understand their history and importance in our culinary lives.” Empowering readers through her narratives, Jordan offer tools in identifying and exploring each individual’s taste. “Julia Child used to say we learn to cook so we don’t have to rely on recipes,” says Jordan. “A recipe is a way to tell a story to another person; cooking is something else. Cooking is intuition, knowing your ingredients and what to do with them. For me, recipes are translations of that knowledge into a story. They’re like a map, a

way to get to your destination, but there’s more than one way to get there.” We’ve become very precise in the last several decades, she says, and home cooks don’t feel that they make food as good as in restaurants. Nonsense, she says. “I tell people, to get used to tasting their food, learn the principles of what makes it taste good.”

A Matter of Taste For Jordan, personal taste compels her writing. She isn’t one to follow trends; in fact, being ahead of the curve is par for the course. In 1999, she released Salt & Pepper, a decade before Mark Bitterman’s Salted supposedly changed the landscape of American cooking. She also explored everyone’s favorite pork product, bacon, back in 2003 with The BLT Cookbook, right around the time folks were discovering the endless enjoyment bacon provides on sweets and savories alike.

Keep It Green Jordan is still committed to the farm scene today, though watching Sonoma County transform from sleepy pastureland to a coveted agricultural hub has been a sometimes scary prospect. “There’s always the expression ‘To kill the goose that lays the golden egg.’ A lot depends on what the [Sonoma] County Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission do,” she says. “The good side is that we can sell our stuff. Produce from here sells much higher than produce from anywhere else. There is a market for Sonoma County. At the same time, the wrong people have money.” Jordan points to instances like the recent lawsuit ﬁled against the Sonoma Compost Company in Petaluma by several of the

business’ neighbors in an attempt to shut it down, and proposals for mammoth winery “event centers.” “People move up here because they want what they think is this idealized Sonoma lifestyle and then they get pissed off because it smells like cow shit,” Jordan says. “It’s like, you bought a house next to a farm—sometimes they smell. There’s always been that tension. You want to preserve the best of Sonoma County because it’s such an amazing place—the fertility, the versatility, the microclimates,” she says. Jordan is hopeful that preservation efforts will prevail. She cites the recent developments at Middleton Farm in Healdsburg. The farm’s matriarch of many years, Nancy Skall, passed way in January, and there was a question of what would happen to the land. Last month, the farm sold to Anne and Monty Woods of San Francisco. So far, they are saying that they want to keep it open and running under the same name.

17 NORTH BAY BOHEMIAN | MAY 13-19, 2015 | BOHEMIAN.COM

“I was 20 years ahead of the curve in thinking that Sonoma County was the bee’s knees,” she says. Luckily, the county was quick to catch up. “A year after my mustard book came out, they launched the Napa Valley Mustard Festival, and a year after my tomatoes book came out, they started the Kendall-Jackson Tomato Festival,” she smiles. For all her acclaim, including a James Beard Award for journalism, her Good Cook’s Books have all gone out of print— and in Jordan’s mind, out of date. “I’ve changed, and my cooking has changed as well,” she says. “I’m much more conﬁdent as a cook, and the pantry available to us all is so much better now. I wanted to bring the books up to date, give them a longer life because they deserve a long life. I feel like they warrant time.” Over the past 12 months, Jordan has been furiously revising and updating several titles from the Good Cook’s collection. In addition to the books already published, Skyhorse Publishing will rerelease The Good Cook’s Book of Salt & Pepper, The Good Cook’s Book of Oil & Vinegar and The Good Cook’s Book of Days: A Food Lover’s Journal this July.

What’s On Tap

Looking ahead to the future of food, Jordan sees good things brewing. “Cider is coming on strong, and sour beer. Sour beer is going to be huge. It’s refreshing, its tart, the acidity really connects with food,” she says. “And people are going to discover Vinho Verde. It’s a Portuguese white wine, very effervescent, and it’s inexpensive. I discovered it when I was stranded on the outskirts of Lisbon one day.” Jordan is looking forward to giving her books a new life. After a much needed respite from publishing deadlines, she is already in the planning stages for her next work, a comprehensive and deﬁnitive look at Sonoma County told through the eyes of someone who’s seen, and tasted, it all. Michele Anna Jordan reads from her books and talks all things food on Friday, May 15, at the Occidental Center for the Arts, 3850 Doris Murphy Court, Occidental. 7pm. 707.874.9392. ‘Mouthful’ airs every Sunday at 6pm on KRCB 91-FM.

SWEET TEA Aaron Hughes learned that in Iraq, sharing tea is part of a social contract.

Tea for Two

Artist and Army vet Aaron Hughes aims to break down walls BY DAVID TEMPLETON

tory has always been the beating heart of theater. In Aaron Hughes’ hands, that art has been fused with one of the world’s oldest beverages, resulting in a remarkable theater piece called simply Tea. “Tea came out of a return trip I took in 2009 to Iraq,” says Hughes, an acclaimed artist, activist and Army veteran. He estimates that he’s presented Tea about 75 times,

all around the world. Hughes brings the piece to Sonoma County for a limited run at the Imaginists (www.theimaginists. org) in downtown Santa Rosa. In the piece, Hughes tells his own and others’ stories, and invites the audience, seated in a circle on the ﬂoor, to share their own tales. And, of course, he serves tea. In 2003–04, Hughes was deployed in Kuwait. His visit ﬁve years later—with a delegation of union activists and labor workers in Iraq for in an international labor

conference—ended up changing his life. “When I was there the ﬁrst time, I never accepted any Iraqi’s invitation to serve me tea,” he recalls. “It was offered to us all many times, and we always refused. I refused because of my military training, but also because of fear I might be poisoned.” In Iraq, tea is much more than a mere beverage, it’s a kind of unspoken social contract, which Hughes did not learn until he returned to the country as a

civilian and took part in a public forum where Iraqis gathered to give feedback. “I was really intimidated, sitting up on that stage,” he admits. “Everyone was sharing about what they hoped for from a future Iraq, and at one point I stood up and said, ‘I have to tell you, I was here, in your country, ﬁve years ago. I probably pointed my weapon at your family. I’m sorry, and though I’m not here for forgiveness, I do take responsibility.’ “After I shared all this,” Hughes continues, “a man stood up in the back of the room and started walking straight toward me. He was speaking loudly in Arabic, and as he got closer to the stage, I was thinking, ‘Oh man, this guy is going to punch me in the face!’ Just as he stepped onto the stage, the translation came though. He was saying, ‘I just want to come up and give this gentleman a hug!’ “He grabbed me and just hugged me. I totally broke down and started crying, right in front of everyone, including the organizers of the event, who sort of rushed me off stage, sat me down in a cafeteria and offered me tea.” That was the ﬁrst time he said yes.

UP WHERE THE AIR IS CLEAR

Heather Buck plays a spot-on Mary Poppins in Spreckels’ production.

Crazy for Poppins

and Michael Banks are causing friction between their parents, the skittish but blustery Mr. Banks (Garet Waterhouse) and the strong-willed Mrs. Banks (Sandy Riccardi, wonderful). Right on cue, the mysterious Mary Poppins (Heather Buck, spot-on) arrives with a bag full of tricks and a plan to put things right, with the amiable assistance of best friend Bert (Dominic Williams). In a dark-humored subplot, the terrifying Miss Andrews (a stellar Mary Gannon Graham) appears to battle Mary Poppins for the household’s future, and perhaps a bit of its soul. The effects are cleverly done, the dancing and music are eyepopping and ear-pleasing, and the bittersweet ending is effectively lovely. True to form, Mary Poppins brings out the best in everyone involved. Rating (out of 5):

Meanwhile, at 6th Street Playhouse, the Lemons-intoLemonade Award of the month goes to director Craig Miller, who has cleverly surmounted a number of imposing challenges in creating a highly entertaining new production of the 1992 musical Crazy for You. The Tony-winning show by Ken Ludwig is built from Gershwin standards, with a plot involving a dusty Western town invaded by show people from New York. Miller’s original opening scene sets things up and solves an array of issues, including a cast with far more women than men. His solution is not just clever; it makes the show funnier. With spectacular choreography by lead actor Joseph Favalora and a winning performance by Abbey Lee as a love-struck cowgirl, Crazy for You is not exactly deep, but it’s funny, sweet and driven by an infectious love of the theater. Rating:

In the splendid new production by Spreckels Theater Co., Mary still ﬂies (spectacularly), and she shows more edge and power than in the ﬁlm. Under the direction of Gene Abravaya, the entire show is packed with wonder and emotion. The unruly siblings Jane

Two beloved works get new life on stage BY DAVID TEMPLETON

ransforming one of the best-loved stories of all time into a stage musical takes guts, creativity and a bit of daring-do. In adapting Walt Disney’s indelible Mary Poppins, writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) pulls it off, rewriting the plot to make it more faithful to the books by P. L. Travers, while retaining most of the movie’s songs and several of its best moments.

It’s ye olde battle of the sexes in Vinterberg’s ‘Madding Crowd’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

ompared to most of the work of English novelist Thomas Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd is practically a frothy rom-com. One can ignore the dead baby, shot dog and apparent suicide as mere elements adding tone to the story of a propertied, principled lady. Director Thomas Vinterberg keeps the tension taut as Miss Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) weighs vying suitors. Before he’s ruined by an undisciplined sheepdog—and finds himself hired as her farm hand—Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenarts of The Drop) is Bathsheba’s first suitor, who blurts out a marriage proposal while delivering her a lamb as a gift. Bathsheba’s next suitor is William Boldwood, an older farmer of strong moral force but not much personal interest. He’s played by Michael Sheen, maybe not the right actor for the job. The farmer is obviously solemn and decent, but it’s unclear what kind of man Bathsheba thought she could tease out of him, using an anonymous Valentine’s Day card. Bathsheba’s last and bluntest suitor is a red-coated soldier. Sergeant Troy (Tom Sturridge) is first affianced to the village girl Fanny (Juno Temple). He appeals to the animal side Bathsheba didn’t know she had. Maybe there’s merit to the old critique about Hardy film adaptations: they’re always too long yet never long enough. Right before Bathsheba finally chooses the right man, Vinterberg cuts to the exasperated groan emitted by her dog, who has presumably had just about enough of his mistress’ dawdling. ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’ opens Friday at Summerfield Cinemas, 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.522.0719.

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

t 27, events promoter and booker Jake Ward has steadily built an impressive résumé of music and art events that defy the ordinary and bring in the crowds. “It started very, very, very small,” says Ward. With a stack of ﬂiers in hand, Ward chronicles his passion and offers a vision for making Sonoma County a destination for a new generation of rock bands, artists and everyone in between. Ward grew up on a farm in western Sonoma County, where he was home-schooled and— ironically—remained largely unaware of local music until well into his teens. “Of course, then I leaned way into what I wasn’t allowed to do,” says Ward. By the time he was 18,

he was playing music in bands like Conspiracy A-Go-Go and ﬁnding himself the one who was booking all the shows. While those bands were all well and good, Ward started branching out. He competed in poetry slams and eventually discovered the underground variety troupe Tourettes Without Regrets from Oakland. The troupe “brings so many different disciplines together,” Ward says, “you see so much in one night. I knew I would love to do something like that.” Last Year, Ward created the North Bay Cabaret, an everchanging monthly variety show that calls the Whiskey Tip in Santa Rosa home. Ward originally conceived of it as a one-off show, but the turnout and positive response kept him rolling. “It just seemed to take on a life of it’s own,” says Ward. This weekend, the North Bay Cabaret presents Sin Peaks, a David Lynch–themed show that features the return of showstopping performer Jamie DeWolf, as well as acrobatics, burlesque and performances all inspired by the cult director’s works. Ward is also a co-producer of the Circus Maximus traveling troupe and is deeply involved in booking at venues and clubs all around Sonoma County. He often teams up with other young promoters, such as Josh Windmiller, of the North Bay Hootenanny, and the Pizza Punx, who share a passion for curating one-of-a-kind experiences. Most recently, the Sonoma Mountain Event Center in Rohnert Park invited Ward and Windmiller to bring the big names to town with the ﬁnancial backing of the center. Ward knows the challenges in overcoming the “status quo–ness” of Sonoma County entertainment bookings. “I like creating a more vibrant scene in general,” he says. “Wherever I can be a catalyst for that is great.” North Bay Cabaret’s ‘Sin Peaks’ variety show takes place on Friday, May 15, at the Whiskey Tip, 1910 Sebastopol Ave., Santa Rosa. 8pm. $10 (21 and over). 707.843.5535.

Since their debut single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home,â&#x20AC;? went platinum in 2009, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a headlining staple at festivals and stadiums. Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros park the bus in Sonoma County and perform at the Sonoma Mountain Event Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor amphitheater for an all-ages show that celebrates Wavy Gravyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 79th birthday and benefits the Seva Foundation, of which Gravy is a founding board member. Joining the Zeros in this daylong event are other locally celebrated musicians, Steve Kimock, the California Honeydrops and Hot Buttered Rum. There will also be a gallery of art from Stanley Mouse, Jerry Garcia, Gravy and others, as well as a variety of food vendors and a silent auction of art from Nepal to fund earthquake-relief efforts there.
