After destroying her left knee joint from overuse, a friend introduced her to Bikram Yoga. She was amazed at what practicing Bikram Yoga did for her body. Her knee joint slowly became stronger and stopped throbbing with pain. Her body's alignment, posture, balance, and strength improved incredibly. Her athletic abilities greatly increased in all of the sports she plays. As long as she does Bikram Yoga three or more times per week, her knee stays strong and can take the impact of running, mountain biking, etc… With regular Bikram Yoga practice, Rebecca also noticed that her stress level began to decrease and she was able to sleep better at night. Rebecca has practiced Bikram Yoga for over 14 years now. She practiced through most of her pregnancy with twins. She is now a mom with 2.5 year old boy/girl twins and the local small business owner of Bikram Yoga Santa Rosa. She has seen how much Bikram Yoga has helped not only herself, but everyone who practices around her. She has seen those of all ages, sizes, and abilities benefit greatly from a regular Bikram Yoga practice. She has seen so many students transform their bodies, and reduce aches and pains. Bikram Yoga improves strength, endurance, flexibility, posture, and balance. It also reduces stress, anxiety, and pain. And of course, there’s the weight loss. The average student
burns 750 calories in each session. It’s tough, but the benefits are many. You don’t have to be an athlete to participate in Bikram Yoga. People of all ages and fitness levels can benefit greatly from the classes. Each student is encouraged to proceed at his or her own pace. Rebecca went to a 500 hour Bikram Yoga teacher training in April 2010. She absolutely loves teaching Bikram Yoga and motivating students to stay healthy and strong.

Angel of Art I must take exception to remarks made by Joe Martinez in his April 5 letter to the editor. Referencing your wonderful article “A Dreamer’s Diary” (March 8) about Maria de los Angeles, Mr. Martinez wrote: “You ungrateful dreamer. Spend all that money on that good education, and all you are is an artist. What a waste.” Maria de los Angeles is not only a true artist, in the sense of someone whose talent is singular and totally original. Maria is a light, the love and
the hope, not only to her Latina sisters, fellow dreamers and young people but to the Latino community at large, and by her creative and courageous example, she is an inspiration to us all. She is a teacher, visionary and activist speaking out at her own personal danger. One tragedy surrounding Maria is that all immigrants are being unfairly targeted and persecuted by the heinous Trump administration. A second tragedy is that in our society, so many people have become so desensitized that we cannot open ourselves up to the healing

Helping the Homeless To those who deal on a constant basis with the homeless situation in Guerneville: The solution is not to bus

them to Santa Rosa. It does not help to dump unopened cans of beer. It compounds the situation even more. The people who live on the streets need homeless advocates to help them navigate the support systems available. Most of the people who congregate on sidewalks or parking lots in Guerneville don’t have the motivation to make positive change on their own. Everyone needs to help and not just stand on the sidelines and watch. To eradicate this homeless situation I think we as a country need to look at what Canada did to end its homeless crisis. It’s not an easy fix. Money alone is not enough. The solution is not to transfer a group of people to Santa Rosa. Homeless services need to be available on the weekend. The homeless groups in Guerneville are nothing like those in Santa Rosa.

Sheriff Recall Many thanks for the informative piece about the county’s costs while delaying resolution of the Lopez wrongful-death suit and for pointing out that the board of supervisors is more than willing to shortchange Andy’s Unity Park, which they previously agreed to fund fully (“At What Cost,” April 5). Meanwhile, the notice of intention to recall the sheriff was served by members of the Community Action Coalition on March 24. The sheriff’s announcement about not running for re-election was made just a few hours later the same day. Since the sheriff still has nearly two more years to go in this term and given his declaration to cooperate with ICE, the recall effort continues.

The value of journalism in the age of Trump—or any age BY STETT HOLBROOK
L
ast week, we learned the Bohemian won three first or second place awards from the California Newspaper Publishers Association for stories written in 2016. The awards will be announced May 20.
Tom Gogola’s story “Condemned Men Talking” (Jan. 15), about life on San Quentin’s death row, earned a nomination in the best writing category and was one of my favorite stories of the year. In the local government category, regular Bohemian contributor Will Parrish was recognized for his story “Crude Awakening” (June 8), about new rules to prevent Canadian tar sands oil production in Bay Area refineries. And my story “Of Water and Wine” (June 15), about development pressures on water resources in Napa County received a nomination in the environmental coverage category. These are tough times for journalism, given the anticonstitutional bent of Donald Trump and his henchmen and their criticism of reporting that isn’t favorable of them. But for as long as I’ve been in journalism—20 years—the times have always been tough. Newsrooms and budgets continue to shrink. Competition for ad revenue is more fierce than ever. And that darned internet, with its firehose of “news,” looks like it here’s to stay. Toughest of all, we’re told fewer people actually read newspapers on a regular basis. Not exactly a rosy picture. And yet, somehow, reporters continue to tell compelling, crucial stories that hold the powerful accountable. This week, Pulitzer prizes for journalism were announced (we didn’t get one—next year!), and the list of winning stories should be a source of pride for every American who believes in the importance of the First Amendment. The stories include coverage of the Oakland Ghost Ship fire by the East Bay Times, and Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold’s stories on Trump’s bogus claims of generosity toward charities. I don’t know about you, but I feel a little better knowing that there are reporters out there willing to dig in and cause trouble. In a democracy, there is no alternative to a free press. Stett Holbrook is editor of the ‘Bohemian.’ Open Mic is a weekly feature in the ‘Bohemian.’ We welcome your contribution.

Paper THE
ROAD TO RUINS This past winter has been particulary hard on local roads. Marin was the hardest hit county in the state.
Storm’s Toll Caltrans says winter damage to state to eclipse $1 billion BY TOM GOGOLA
T
his year’s winter storms will cost California $866 million in road repairs, according to the latest estimates from the California Department of Transportation.
That figure is a significant uptick from the $617 million in damaged assessed at the end of February, and doesn’t include damage estimates from last weekend’s wind-blown deluge which knocked out electricity throughout Marin County, along
with the usual array of rockslides, washouts and local road flooding. The latest figures from Caltrans find Marin County easily at the top of the state list of storm-related 2016–17 damage with $91 million total spread over 17 different projects. The
latest damage spreadsheets are a chorus of slip-outs and rockslides, road washouts and sinkholes, failed culverts and accelerated pavement failures. To date, Caltrans has identified 402 damage sites spread throughout the state’s 58 counties. Napa County has 14 damage sites and Sonoma County has 17, according to Caltrans spreadsheets that detail the statewide damage. The respective price tags for repair are significantly lower than Marin’s: Caltrans says it will cost $16.5 million to repair Napa’s storm-damaged roads and $44 million to fix Sonoma’s. That Marin County figure of $91 million translates into an eye-raising fact: roughly one in 10 dollars spent by Caltrans this spring and summer will be spent on one coastal county. And of the $91 million in damage to Marin roads, $78 million is accounted for in 13 damage sites spread along Highway 1. Several of the Sonoma County damage sites are also on Highway 1, and comprise about $10 million of the total $44 million damage estimate. Marin County also fields the third highest single-job estimate of the 402 damage sites identified by Caltrans in its latest damage report, a $17.4 million job to fix a slip-out on Highway 1 with a tie-back wall. Only Santa Clara and Monterey counties have single-ticket items that eclipse Marin’s $17.4 million project. Caltrans pegged $30 million for a wall repair in Santa Clara county, and Monterey’s got a pricey $28 million line item on the spreadsheet to replace the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge, representing about half of that county’s $60 million in damages. Clearly the Bay Area and North Coast took the biggest hit in the winter-spring storms of 2016 and 2017. The top counties after Marin are Santa Clara County, on the hook for $72 million; San Mateo, $63 million; Humboldt, $60 million; and Mendocino, $65 million. For comparison, Los Angeles County racked up $55 million in damage to its state roads.
Trump has also made lots of noise about a big infrastructure build-out, tantalizing talk for Democratic fence-sitters looking for a way to work with the president, even as his proposed budget eliminates the federal Department of Transportation, which Thompson recently noted in his critique of Trump’s budget proposal, “provides almost $500 million in road projects.”
9 NO RTH BAY BO H E M I AN | AP R I L 1 2-1 8, 20 17 | BOH EMI A N.COM
Caltrans estimates that when local costs are factored into their estimate, the total damage price tag is $1.27 billion. Recent reports estimated Marin County’s road damage obligations at $10 million, out of the estimated $400 million that localities will pick up this year. The agency reports that it will spend $700 million on emergency projects this year, “leaving $170 million for permanent restoration projects.” “This total will likely rise as we continue to assess damage and estimate repair and restoration costs,” says Caltrans spokesman Mark Dinger via email. Help is on the way—generally speaking. Last week, the California Legislature passed SB 1, which will raise California’s gasoline excise tax by 12 cents a gallon and enacts other autorelated fees in the state to fund a long-awaited, $55 billion road repair plan over 10 years. At the federal level, on April 4, Trump signed off on an unspecified commitment of Federal Emergency Management Agency dollars after Gov. Jerry Brown petitioned the administration for disaster relief earlier this year when the storm damage had eclipsed $500 million. Last week, the administration freed up additional but unspecified funds for Sonoma, Napa and Marin counties. The declaration of disaster will presumably allow counties to pay for a range of repairs brought on by the wicked winter of 2016–17. FEMA’s eventual contribution to California’s storm-damage repair remains an open question, especially given the erratic and contradictory messages coming from the White House. Trump has threatened to withhold FEMA funds to so-called sanctuary cities—there’s a bill in Sacramento that would make the entire state a sanctuary state. Even as Trump pledges disaster relief to California, the administration’s 2017 budget proposal calls for a $667 million cut in FEMA predisaster mitigation programs, according to North Bay U.S. representative Mike Thompson.
One in 10 dollars spent by Caltrans this spring and summer will go to Marin County. So what does all this mean for Sonoma County’s notorious pothole problems? Probably not much. Voters in Sonoma turned back a proposed road-fix tax in 2015, a quarter-cent sales tax under Measure A. County officials have argued they need up to $1 billion to upgrade county roads—but the Sonoma County Supervisors could only scratch together $30 million in local roadfix dollars in 2015. The county website goes to pains to explain why there are so many potholes: “At about 2,700 lane miles, the road system of unincorporated Sonoma County is one of the most expansive in the greater Bay Area. Sonoma County also happens to be one of the more sparsely-populated municipalities in the region. This means that the amount of revenue generated for road repair in Sonoma County is below average for the amount of roadway. And for this reason, potholes are a common occurrence.”

Dining MEATLESS WONDER Hunter Bryson packages the first batch of Shroom Jerky.
Jerky Boys
Occidental brothers turn from growing mushrooms to making fungi snacks BY STETT HOLBROOK
W
hen Wyatt Bryson moved back home to his family’s 15-acre property in Occidental to make a go as a farmer, friends said he’d have a tough time earning a living. He’d been growing edible mushrooms in Hawaii and hoped to apply his knowledge here, selling oyster mushroom kits and
teaching classes so customers could grow their own. The fungus-farm idea is still alive, but Bryson has dropped his shovel and turned his energies to another fungal enterprise: mushroom jerky. He and his brother, Hunter, came up with the idea. Hunter’s wife is from Thailand, and that’s where Hunter was exposed to mushrooms as a street snack. “My brother is a chef,” Bryson says, “and he whipped together
a recipe we just got an amazing response from, and we were like ‘Man, I think we’re on to something,’ and we changed gears. We’re not growing mushrooms at the moment but focused on building the jerky business.” The brothers joined with business partner Darren Racusen. They’ve only been operational for about month, but interest is growing. The product, Shroom Jerky, is sold at Occidental’s
Bohemian Market, Scotty’s Market in San Rafael, Mill Valley Market and online at shroomjerky.com. Bryson says they are in talks with Community Market and Oliver’s Market to carry the product. A 2.5-ounce package sells for $7.99. The inherently sweet, nutty flavor of the oyster mushrooms plays off the marinade well. If you didn’t know the jerky was made with mushrooms, you might mistake it for meat. The flavor and texture are meaty, not surprising since oyster mushrooms are high in protein. Current flavors include sesame and sweet chile. Thai curry and Louisiana barbecue flavors are in the works. “I like to take it into bars sometimes and fool people,” says Hunter. “They say, ‘I love it. Is it beef or pork?’” If you were stuck in the car on a long road trip with a bunch of vegans and this was all they brought to snack on you would not be bummed. Heck, I’d pick up a bag myself after the trip was over. While there are highquality brands of beef jerky on the market, much of it comes from meat of dubious quality, and Shroom Jerky makes for a more healthful snack, whether you’re a meat eater or not. The strength of Shroom Jerky is its simplicity: dried organic oyster mushrooms and a handful of seasonings. The process is pretty simple, too. Dried mushrooms are rehydrated in a sauce and then dried again at the company’s commercial kitchen in Sebastopol. When done, the mushrooms still retain moisture and are pleasantly chewy. “They’ve got a great flavor,” says Bryson, “and aren’t as mushroomy as others like shiitakes.” While the brothers plan to start growing mushrooms again at the family ranch, it won’t be enough to meet their needs. Ten pounds of fresh mushrooms dries down to one pound, and since they make jerky in 50-pound batches, they’d need 500 pound of fresh mushrooms for each run. That’s a lot of fungus, even for passionate mushroom men like the Brysons.

I
n a typical episode from my life in the world of wine, I had just discovered my new favorite style of wine when it all but disappeared from store shelves.
I despaired that I’d never get to explore these wines again until I could manage to travel to the far corner of the earth where they are made, in a land called Oz. But then I discovered a secret door to Oz that’s hidden in plain sight in the city of Napa. “We call it the Yellowtail effect,” says Blair Poynton, marketing manager at Old Bridge Cellars. Poynton is talking about the inexpensive Australian wine brand with the wallaby logo that became ubiquitous on supermarket shelves in the early 2000s. The problem wasn’t Yellowtail—it’s pretty well
made for the price point, Poynton concedes—but that imitators (he mentions a certain Penguin) diluted the reputation of Aussie “critter wines.” And then the 2008 financial crisis put the brakes on the whole category. Sure, recession-era wine drinkers might have put up with even a diluted, cheap Shiraz buzz, but the Australian dollar refused to tank against the U.S. dollar. Instead, it doubled. All this was not convenient for Old Bridge Cellars, a Napa-based import business that planted its flag on Australian wine back in 1993. Old Bridge responded by diversifying its portfolio to include wines from Chile, the United States, Italy and—gasp!—France. Today, Australian imports are on the uptick again, but it’s not about the “cheap and cheerful” wines this time, Poynton says. It’s about higher quality wineries like South Australia’s d’Arenberg that Old Bridge has always championed. Australia’s fine-wine culture is at least as old and developed as California’s, says Poynton, an easygoing Aussie who met his Californian wife during one crush season Down Under. “I’ve got mates who drive trucks for mines,” he says, “but they know the difference between a southeastern and a western Australian Riesling.” Also, they drink loads of beer, he adds. Indeed, it’s wines like Kilikanoon’s 2010 Mort’s Reserve Clare Valley Riesling ($35) that brought me here in the first place. Like Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is to Bordeaux, south Australian Riesling isn’t an imitation of the Mosel version— this wine is a toasty, lime juice and pineapple-flavored, very dry and tangy exemplar of an entirely different take on the varietal. Old Bridge Cellars plans to open its doors to Oz, and other regions, just a tiny bit more for its Napa neighbors with Thursday evening tastings in the near future at their longtime offices, a grand old, slightly cluttered, dog-friendly old house at 703 Jefferson St. in Napa.

NOT EXACTLY ROUGHING IT The comfort and lower cost of glamping at places like Guerneville’s Autocamp is catching on.
Happy Glampers Luxury camping puts down stakes in the North Bay
T
he travel industry is ever on the lookout for creative mash-ups and newest things. Take the “poshtel,” for instance, an upgrade on the cheap, no-frills backpacker hostel. While the staying power of that category remains to be seen, glamping, another hybrid concept, appears to be here to stay.
As with the poshtel, glamping is a mishmash of a time-tested experience with a glamorous tweak: outdoor camping injected
with convenience and luxury. No need to bring the tent—it awaits your arrival. Instead of stiff camping mats, there
BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY
are plush beds with high-end mattresses. Elegant gas lamps replace flashlights. While it’s not as cheap as a sleeping bag on the dirt, glamping does offer lower prices than the brick-and-mortar hotels it imitates. Glamping, which might involve sleeping in a yurt or a vintage trailer, has been enjoyed outside the United States for years,
but the trend has only recently taken root in the North Bay, as innovative hoteliers meet the rising demand for lodging. Last year, Terra Glamping established a pop-up lodging experience on the Sonoma-Mendocino border, just above Timber Cove, with ocean-view tents, memory foam mattresses, cooking facilities and embroidered rugs ) 14

A number of Napa Valley wineries have taken to the quick setup of glamping tents and provide an alternative to sleeping among the vines. Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena started to offer tent stays on its lawn last summer as part of a private wine-industry event. A similar, albeit seasonal, offering can be
found at Pope Valley Winery in collaboration with Terravello Tours, which specializes in food and glamping experiences. “It’s definitely a trend, two decades in the making,” says Tim Zahner, chief marketing officer for Sonoma County Tourism. “Safari West in Santa Rosa has had their tents for a number of years, and the Petaluma KOA and the Cloverdale KOA are definitely upgrading their amenities.

“more of an REI backpacker kind of guy,” but he can’t deny the potential. “As Sonoma County has every kind of lodging, it’s good to have a balanced portfolio. You don’t want to have too much glamour or too much camping, and glamping appeals to the middle ground and to possible shifts in the economy.” Crista Luedtke, the owner of Boon Hotel and Boon Restaurant, was there first. This season, running May to October, will be Boon’s fourth year with glamping. “Since we constantly had to tell people we were sold-out at the
hotel, I thought of adding these amazing tents, but didn’t want to cramp them,” she says (Boon makes only three tents available for $140 a night). “We already had the bathroom and shower building that we’ve been using for events, so it’s almost like having your own facility, plus all the amenities are the same—the pool, breakfast in your tent.” For hotel operators like Luedtke, the flexibility and ease of tents are attractive. “It’s been a great way to add more accommodation without adding buildings, ) 16

Guerneville being a seasonal destination,” she says. A newcomer to the Russian River, Autocamp also offers “luxury tents” with power outlets and plush linens, as well as a slightly more permanent yet still camping-inspired solution: vintage, refurbished Airstream trailers. Starting in Santa Barbara in 2013, Autocamp’s funky premise is in the spirit of glamping, turning something familiar and old-school into something new. Co-founder Ryan Miller said he discovered the Guerneville location on a scouting road trip. “I fell in love with the town, not knowing what to expect prior to visiting,” he says. It took the company 14 months to buy the riverfront property and build the clubhouse where guests can purchase snacks and sit by a fire pit. Autocamp’s tents and trailers range from $190 to $350 a night. There’s nothing new about yurts, but Napa County’s Bothe State Park brings them to a new audience in wine country. The park added the three yurts in 2015 and joined the Outbound Collective, an online community similar to Airbnb for outdoorsy types. Bookings provide links to nature experiences. For $70 a night, visitors hiking the Coyote Trail or visiting the state park can rest on a comfortable bed while still being able to hear the outside world. Meaghan Clark Tiernan, a 30-year-old writer from San Francisco, stayed in one of the yurts soon after they launched. “Compared to the tent, it was much nicer,” says Clark Tiernan. “The yurt was cozy, so you didn’t need extra layers. We had much more room to spread out, change, and it was still camping in the sense that you were cooking your food outside on the fire.” While the Bothe yurts are on the cheaper side, the prices at other glamping destinations are steeper than the average camping site. So who goes glamping? Adventuresome folks generally
in their 40s or younger, says Luedtke. Inbal Itachi, 35, a designer from San Francisco, treated her sister visiting from Israel to Luedtke’s glamping experience. “It was especially fun waking up in the middle of nature, in the woods, and getting breakfast in bed,” she says, “and spending time at the hotel’s pool with drinks and magazines.” The fear of getting bitten by insects was her only complaint.
‘As people get out and want to experience the outdoors, we are definitely promoting it.’ Autocamp’s Miller says glamping appeals to more than one demographic. “You’ll have the millennials that may live in San Francisco, and then folks that grew up with the nostalgia of an Airstream and love the opportunity to stay in one,” he says. Travelers are looking for something different these days, he says, “to break the mold” of hotel stays. “What’s your favorite thing about a hotel? Design, great mattress, a good shower? What’s the best about camping? Being outdoors. We’re taking all these and mixing them together,” he says. Luedtke thinks along similar lines. “Look, I love to camp,” she says, “but it’s a commitment. You carry all your gear, spend a couple of hours setting up and tearing down. Or you can just arrive and have access to it all.”

Musical Identity
Guitarist Max Kakacek and drummer Julien Ehrlich formed indie-rock outfit Whitney in 2014, after living together in Chicago. Both musicians were already accomplished players in bands like the Smith Westerns and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and they joined forces to create a sound that resembles the melancholy melodies of Townes Van Zandt and Bon Iver and the electrically charged rock of bands like Pavement and Foxygen. Since forming, the duo has expanded Whitney to a seven-piece ensemble that’s been getting rave reviews from all corners of the music world. Whitney plays an intimate concert on Friday, April 14, at Gundlach Bundschu Winery, 2000 Denmark St., Sonoma. 7pm. $37. 707.938.5277.

First opening in the early 1980s, ‘Vincent’ became a smash hit on Broadway and is still a favorite at festivals around the world. Since 1994, actor Jim Jarrett has taken on the role of Vincent, and this weekend he brings the impressionist artist’s passion and intensity to the stage for a one-night-only performance to benefit Napa’s new Sightglass Theater Company. A VIP wine lounge precedes the performance, taking place on Saturday, April 15, Napa Valley College Performing Arts Center, 2277 Vallejo Hwy., Napa. 7pm. $25–$100. sightglasstheater.org.

Outside the Box
New-media pioneer Joseph DeLappe gets a retrospective in Sonoma BY CHARLIE SWANSON
A
s technology and digital media take hold of our collective consciousness and international conflicts become increasingly fought with unmanned drones, artist Joseph DeLappe aims to challenge the status quo.
This month, several innovative and interactive highlights from
DeLappe’s career come together for a new exhibit, “Memory and Resistance,” at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art. DeLappe opens the show with an artist’s talk on April 15. Sonoma Valley Museum of Art’s executive director Linda Cano first met DeLappe in 2014 when he was the director of digital media at the University of Nevada in Reno and she was working at the Fresno Art Museum. “We had an exhibition of his work, and he built a life-size
drone on the campus of Fresno State out of 3D printing elements,” she says. Each section of the drone had the name of a civilian casualty from U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan. Cano appreciated DeLappe’s art, and also his sensitivity in handling his subject matter. “It’s very serious work,” she says. “The work itself is provocative, but he himself is not provocative.” When Cano came to the North Bay to work for SVMA a year
ago, DeLappe was one of the first artists she considered featuring at the museum. “Joseph’s political commentary is a good match for the time, and his art is participatory,” she says. While DeLappe’s installations include polygon cardboard sculptures of the Statue of Liberty and Gandhi, much of his work is more interactive, explains Cano. For one of his most famous projects, dead-in-iraq, DeLappe played the first-person shooter America’s Army, an online recruiting game, and typed in the name, age, service branch and date of death of each service person who had died in Iraq. DeLappe’s most recent project, Killbox, is his most interactive to date—a two-player game named after the military term for an area targeted for destruction. One player acts as the drone operator, tasked with delivering a strike. The second player is the civilian on the ground bombarded by chaos. Players then switch roles and do it all over again. Rather than glorify violence the way many Call of Duty–type video games encourage, Killbox is a remorseful, horrifying vision of the reality of drone warfare. Killbox was recently nominated for a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) award for Best Computer Game, and DeLappe, who is now professor of games and tactical media at Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland, just last week received a Guggenheim Fellowship. “I think this exhibit will be a little different for our community,” Cano says, “and I hope people come, participate and give us feedback about this new direction.” “Memory and Resistance: The Work of Joseph DeLappe” opens on Saturday, April 15, at Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, 551 Broadway, Sonoma. 707.939.SVMA.

Survivors wait out feathery apocalypse in MTC’s ‘Birds’ BY DAVID TEMPLETON
T
here is little a responsible reviewer can say about Main Stage West’s eerie, unnerving production of Conor McPherson’s The Birds. Any description of the play’s tone, pace or point of view stands the risk of tipping audiences off, reducing the pleasure of experiencing this taught, emotionally rich, exquisitely acted tale as it masterfully unfolds.
Even if you’ve seen the classic Alfred Hitchcock film, you should not assume you know what McPherson and director Elizabeth Craven have in store for you. Less about birds than about ordinary people stripped of everyday assurances, The Birds is simple,
psychological horror—the more powerful for its subdued, casually observational storytelling. Running through April 23 (and please note that the ornithological thriller plays on Easter Sunday, the day millions of sugary Peeps are ravenously consumed), Main Stage’s tense, edgy drama is much closer to Daphne du Maurier’s original 1952 short story than it is to the 1963 Hitchcock version. But it’s not exactly du Maurier, either. Carrying spooky echoes of Night of the Living Dead and No Exit, The Birds begins with Liz Jahren’s chillingly resigned voiceover, succinctly describing the rapid fall of civilization after all the birds of the world suddenly, and violently, began attacking and killing any person in sight. To the frightening sound of shrieking birds, a pair of strangers—Diane (Jahren, excellent) and Nat (Nick Sholley, the same)—take refuge in a dark, abandoned farmhouse. He’s got a fever. She’s got a diary. They hide. Then some stuff happens. Diane writes it all down, and we hear snippets of her end-of-theworld journal as that initial voiceover narration regularly returns. Sound designer Doug Faxon and light designer Missy Weaver do excellent work in bringing this birds-instead-of-zombies nightmare to such vivid life. Rae Quintana and Anthony Abate appear, at various points, as fellow survivors. More stuff happens, unfolding in a series of individual vignettes, each one separated by hours, days and weeks. The characters frequently discuss the importance of human kindness—a hopeful suggestion that pulses at the heart of what’s to come, and is a big part of why The Birds is ultimately so haunting, rich and quietly disturbing. (Note: sound designer Faxon suggests that audiences sit as close to the center of the 70-seat theater to get the maximum impact of his intricate surroundsound design.) Rating (out of 5): 'The Birds’ runs Thursday–Sunday through April 23 at Main Stage West, 104 N. Main St., Sebastopol. Thursday– Saturday, 8pm; 5pm matinees on Sunday. $15–$30. 707.823.0177.

Ghost Story
Kristen Stewart sees dead people in ‘Personal Shopper’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK
V
ery sexy and very scary, Personal Shopper is Olivier Assayas’ follow-up to Clouds of Sils Maria, the film that proved a sharp and sensitive director could find a virtue in Kristen Stewart’s air of neutrality. Assayas makes a display of this actress’ humid eyes, firmly set mouth and smooth physique, but the ghost story isn’t all about Stewart’s vulnerability—it follows a few sidebars about the parapsychological activities of Victor Hugo, for instance, to get us ready for the point when Assayas starts playing the xylophone on our spinal cord. Maureen Cartwright (Stewart) is a personal shopper for a very mean and extremely wealthy Parisian. She carries on a frayed relationship via Skype with her boyfriend, who is working a long-term assignment in Muscat, Oman. Maureen has an avocation—she’s a medium and spends a night searching for ghosts in an empty house. It’s the house where her twin brother, Lewis, died; her heart, like his, may be a time bomb ready to stop without warning. He’d always promised to send a message back to the world of the living. The film doesn’t cheat: a ghost of swirling, smoke-like ectoplasm reveals itself to Maureen early in the film. Later, she gets texts from some mysterious, omniscient being. It knows her every move, telling her, “I want you, and I will have you.” There are three sound people credited here, and you’ll see why. The soundscape goes beyond the eclectic mix of the score, including Marlene Dietrich’s “Das Hobellied,” a song superficially about carpentry, but really about death as the great leveler of the world’s classes. As in David Lynch films, the disturbing sound is more chilling than the disturbing image. The thump of a ghost answering questions has a wetness and echo to it, like the sound of rolling thunder diminishing. And the dull, irritating buzz of a cellphone carrying threatening anonymous messages—perhaps from the hereafter— gives brand-new punch to the old “the calls are coming from inside the house!” gimmick. ‘Personal Shopper’ is playing at Summerfield Cinemas, 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.525.8909.

I
n the four years since Petaluma indie-rock quartet Trebuchet released their debut album, much has changed. Woes and victories, both personal and collective, inspired an expanded, heart-on-thesleeve sound that marks the band’s excellent sophomore album, Volte-Face, available on vinyl, CD and digitally on April 14. The four-piece outfit is made up of guitarist and lyricist Eliott Whitehurst, bassist Navid Manoochehri and husband-andwife drummer and keyboardist Paul and Lauren Haile. Friends since meeting at Sonoma State University in 2006, the band members have an intuitive musical chemistry that’s matched by their most honest and personal songwriting yet on the new album.
“We write the music all together,” Whitehurst says. “It’s really collaborative to the point of working on melodies and harmonies before there are lyrics.” An added bonus to that is that Paul Haile and Manoochehri operate Greenhouse Recording in Petaluma, and Volte-Face is one of the most professional sounding records to come out of Sonoma County in the last year. Layers of synth and vocal harmonies dance around the acoustic guitars, and shimmering cymbal crashes amplify the album’s heaviest moments. Once the music is in place, Whitehurst pens lyrics to match to mood of the song. Thematically, Whitehurst says, the content of the new record was tough to deliver. “Lyrically, I’ve always been someone who wanted to delve into really difficult subjects,” he says, “but for every song there was always a breaking point. Like, if I put down this lyric, that’s painful and I’m going to have to revisit it a lot, so with everything before, I had an out to make the song about something else.” On Volte-Face, Whitehurst avoided the outs and stayed true to sharing his personal struggles in an authentic way. The album’s title, French for “about face,” and the overarching mood of the record, is a reflection of the songwriter’s recent tumultuous past, which included a called-off marriage engagement. “Mentally, I had kind of checked out of my life,” he says. “I was trying to be OK with the fact that what my life had become was not what I wanted it to be.” Through the turmoil and the heartache, Whitehurst was able to diverge onto a new life path and the new album, while vulnerable in its tone, is also a cathartic experience. “It was very difficult, but from that point on my life became what I wanted it to be,” says Whitehurst. “I had control of my life again.” Trebuchet unveil ‘Volte-Face’ with support from Mare Island, Brown Bags and Horders on Saturday, April 15 at the Phoenix Theater, 201 Washington St., Petaluma. 8pm. $10. 707.762.3565.

Marco Benevento shares his joy onstage in Petaluma
SUN APR 16
Piano-driven rock ’n’ roll has held a special place in my heart ever since I discovered my dad’s Supertramp cassettes as a kid. In today’s indierock landscape, few performers are rocking the piano with as much exuberance and excellence as New York’s Marco Benevento.
MON APR 17
For the last decade, Benevento has mixed infectious melodies and heartfelt songwriting that evokes classic rock passion and contemporary electronic experimentation for an eagerly uplifting sound that garners comparisons to everyone from pop pianist Leon Russell to electronica band LCD Soundsystem. On Benevento’s latest release, the live album Woodstock Sessions, the songwriter shows off his enthralling palette of music, leading a tight trio onstage with expansive sonic results. When he’s not tickling the ivories, Benevento is twisting knobs on his array of pedals, fuzzing out the edges of his indie pop and inviting the crowd to get their feet moving and whistle along to the performance. This week, Benevento and his energetic ensemble are in the North Bay for a night of feel-good grooves. Joining him are a pair of eclectic Los Angeles songwriters, mysteriously alternative multiinstrumentalist Wyndham and folk-pop songstress Lola Kirke. Bring your dancing shoes to see Marco Benevento on Thursday, April 13, at McNear’s Mystic Theatre, 23 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 8:30pm. $22. 707.765.2121.—Charlie Swanson

Sea Change
Bills could erode federal prohibition BY PHILLIP SMITH
T
he Congressional Cannabis Caucus flexed its muscle last month as members of Congress filed a package of bills aimed at creating a “path to marijuana reform” at the federal level and protecting and preserving marijuana laws in states where it is legal.
Two Oregon Democrats, Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, led the charge, announcing a bipartisan package of three bills, including a marijuana-legalization bill reintroduced by Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colorado, as well as a pair of bills aimed at cleaning up “collateral issues” such as taxes, regulation, banking, asset forfeiture, de-scheduling, research and protection for individuals. “The federal government must respect the decision Oregonians made at the polls and allow lawabiding marijuana businesses to go to the bank just like any other
legal business,” Wyden said in a statement. “This three-step approach will spur job growth and boost our economy, all while ensuring the industry is being held to a fair standard.” At least five other bills have already been filed, and lawmakers are also planning to reintroduce the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer amendment, which would block the Justice Department from funding enforcement efforts against state-legal medical marijuana programs, and the McClintock-Polis amendment, which would similarly block enforcement against state-legal adult-use programs. That later amendment came up just eight votes short last year. The move comes with increasing acceptance of marijuana and marijuana legalization. Twentynine states now allow marijuana for qualified patients, and eight states and the District of Columbia have legalized adult use. Public opinion polls now consistently show pot legalization with majority support; the latest came in March when the General Social Survey pegged support for legalization at 57 percent in 2016, up five points from just two years earlier. Not everybody is happy. Former White House drug-policy adviser Kevin Sabet, who now heads the anti-legalization Smart Approaches to Marijuana, told online journal The Cannabist last month that more marijuana legalization would have negative consequences. “While we don’t want to see folks locked up or given criminal records for smoking pot, we support federal laws against marijuana,” Sabet writes in an email. But Sabet’s is an increasingly lone voice in the wilderness. Phillip Smith lives in Sebastopol and is editor of the AlterNet Drug Reporter and author of the ‘Drug War Chronicle.’

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Before visiting Sicily for the first time, American poet Billy Collins learned to speak Italian. In his poem “By a Swimming Pool Outside Siracusa,” he describes how the new language is changing his perspective. If he were thinking in English, he might say that the gin he’s drinking while sitting alone in the evening light “has softened my mood.” But the newly Italianized part of his mind would prefer to say that the gin “has allowed my thoughts to traverse my brain with greater gentleness” and “has extended permission to my mind to feel a friendship with the vast sky.” Your assignment in the coming week, Aries, is to Italianize your view of the world. Infuse your thoughts with expansive lyricism and voluptuous relaxation. If you’re Italian, celebrate and amplify your Italianness. It’s closing time. You have finished toiling in the shadow of an old sacred cow. You’ve climaxed your relationship with ill-fitting ideas that you borrowed from mediocre and inappropriate teachers once upon a time. And you can finally give up your quest for a supposed Holy Grail that never actually existed in the first place. It’s time to move on to the next chapter of your life story, Taurus! You have been authorized to graduate from any influence, attachment and attraction that wouldn’t serve your greater good in the future. Does this mean you’ll soon be ready to embrace more freedom than you have in years? I’m betting on it.
GEMINI (May 21–June 20) The heaviest butterfly on the planet is the female Queen Victoria birdwing. It tips the scales at two grams. The female Queen Alexandra birdwing is the butterfly with the longest wingspan: over 12 inches. These two creatures remind me of you these days. Like them, you’re freakishly beautiful. You’re a marvelous and somewhat vertiginous spectacle. The tasks you’re working on are graceful and elegant, yet also big and weighty. Because of your intensity, you may not look flight-worthy, but you’re actually quite aerodynamic. In fact, your sorties are dazzling and influential. Though your acrobatic zigzags seem improbable, they’re effective.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Picasso had mixed feelings about his fellow painter Marc Chagall, who was born under the sign of Cancer. “I’m not crazy about his roosters and donkeys and flying violinists, and all the folklore,” Picasso said, referring to the subject matter of Chagall’s compositions. But he also felt that Chagall was one of the only painters “who understands what color really is,” adding, “There’s never been anybody since Renoir who has the feeling for light that Chagall has.” I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will be the recipient of mixed messages like these. Praise and disapproval may come your way. Recognition and neglect. Kudos and apathy. Please don’t dwell on the criticism and downplay the applause. In fact, do the reverse! LEO (July 23–August 22) “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is the title of an old gospel song, and now it’s the metaphorical theme of your horoscope. I advise you to climb a tall peak—even if it’s just a magic mountain in your imagination—and deliver the spicy monologue that has been marinating within you. It would be great if you could gather a sympathetic audience for your revelations, but that’s not mandatory to achieve the necessary catharsis. You simply need to be gazing at the big picture as you declare your big, ripe truths. VIRGO (August 23–September 22) If you were a snake, it would be a fine time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it would be a perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood. If you were an office worker, it would be an excellent phase to trade in your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new niche. In other words, Virgo, you’re primed to outgrow at least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew you would have to transgress some day are finally ready to be transgressed. Even now, your attention span is expanding and your imagination is stretching. LIBRA (September 23–October 22) For over a century, the Ringsaker Lutheran Church in Buxton,
BY ROB BREZSNY
N.D., Dakota hosted rites of passage, including 362 baptisms, 50 marriages and 97 funerals. It closed in 2002, a victim of the area’s shrinking population. I invite you to consider the possibility that this can serve as a useful metaphor for you, Libra. Is there a place that has been a sanctuary for you, but has begun to lose its magic? Is there a traditional power spot from which the power has been ebbing? Has a holy refuge evolved into a mundane hang-out? If so, mourn for a while, then go in search of a vibrant replacement.
SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)
Most people throw away lemon rinds, walnut shells and pomegranate skins. But some resourceful types find uses for these apparent wastes. Lemon rind can serve as a deodorizer, cleaner and skin tonic, as well as a zesty ingredient in recipes. Ground-up walnut shells work well in facial scrubs and pet bedding. When made into a powder, pomegranate peels have a variety of applications for skincare. I suggest you look for metaphorically similar things, Scorpio. You’re typically inclined to dismiss the surfaces and discard the packaging and ignore the outer layers, but I urge you to consider the possibility that right now they may have value.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)
You’re growing too fast, but that’s fine as long as you don’t make people around you feel they’re moving too slowly. You know too much, but that won’t be a problem as long as you don’t act snooty. And you’re almost too attractive for your own good, but that won’t hurt you as long as you overflow with spontaneous generosity. What I’m trying to convey, Sagittarius, is that your excesses are likely to be more beautiful than chaotic, more fertile than confusing. And that should provide you with plenty of slack when dealing with cautious folks who are a bit rattled by your lust for life.
CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Until recently, scientists believed the number of trees on the planet was about 400 billion. But research published in the journal Nature says that’s wrong. There are actually 3 trillion trees on earth—almost eight times more than was previously thought. In a similar way, I suspect you have also underestimated certain resources that are personally available to you, Capricorn. Now is a good time to correct your undervaluation. Summon the audacity to recognize the potential abundance you have at your disposal. Then make plans to tap into it with a greater sense of purpose. AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) The poet John Keats identified a quality he called “negative capability.” He defined it as the power to calmly accept “uncertainties, mysteries and doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” I would extend the meaning to include three other things not to be irritably reached for: artificial clarity, premature resolution and simplistic answers. Now is an excellent time to learn more about this fine art, Aquarius. PISCES (February 19–March 20): Are you ready
for a riddle that’s more enjoyable than the kind you’re used to? I’m not sure if you are. You may be too jaded to embrace this unusual gift. You could assume it’s another one of the crazy-making cosmic jokes that have sometimes tormented you in the past. But I hope that doesn’t happen. I hope you’ll welcome the riddle in the liberating spirit in which it’s offered. If you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised as it teases you in ways you didn’t know you wanted to be teased. You’ll feel a delightful itch or a soothing burn in your secret self, like a funny-bone feeling that titillates your immortal soul. (P.S.: To take full advantage of the blessed riddle, you may have to expand your understanding of what’s good for you.)
