Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Out of Business I really enjoyed the article on local violin maker Anthony Lane (“Cue the Violins,” May 3); however, it contained an unfortunate howler. The author, Tom Gogola, referred to “old Stradivarius instruments, the standard-bearer and namesake family company that’s been making violins for more than 300 years.” After Antonio Stradivari died in 1737 at age 94, having made a few hundred violins, violas and cellos, two of his sons made fewer than 10 more instruments. But by 1743 these sons were also gone.

Any violin with a Stradivarius label dated after 1743 either has an inexplicably inaccurate label, or (and this is far, far more likely) the instrument itself is just a “Stradivarius”-labeled factory fiddle from France or Germany, millions of which were produced over the decades. They bear about as much similarity to a real Strad as a grainy photo of a Rembrandt does to the actual painting. Which is to say, there is no Stradivarius “company” that’s still making violins.

confusion is made even more acute.

Existing law makes knowingly exposing an individual to HIV via unprotected sex a felony punishable by up to eight years in the state prison. Why repeal this, as SB 239 calls for? AIDS/HIV is a concern for millennials who have had unprotected sex and are now realizing their error. Reducing the penalty for individuals purposely spreading AIDS is wrong. For those of us who lived through the ’80s and ’90s seeing acquaintances die or be confined to a lifetime of life-saving cocktails, our

GARY SCIFORD Santa Rosa

Repugnant Man Trump has finally achieved the notoriety he wanted. Indeed, his name will go down in history, but what he will be remembered for is his ignorance, selfishness, diminished intellect and bad hair. His behavior clearly reveals what many already knew: that having piles of money is in no way an indication of intellectual ability, capacity to show leadership skills or an allegiance to American values. That said, this repugnant, selfish, psychologically disturbed little man does represent elements of who, and how, we humans can be. He reminds me of the Vietnam-era Army captain who, in describing the justification for decimating a neutral rural village of farmers, women and children, remarked, “It was necessary to destroy the village in order to save it”. Trump, manipulating the good will of desperate Americans, lied his way into office. And he has lied us out of the Paris Agreement, in effect, demonstrating to the world our refusal to stand together and deal with, perhaps, the greatest threat to human survival To the Trump supporters out there, I ask this: What if he’s wrong? What if climate change is real, and your unwavering support allows him to saddle our children and our grandchildren with a less habitable planet? Are you really OK with making future generations pay for his mistake? Why would you support this man, riddled with greed and envy, and allow him to cripple your future family?

Wake Up, America Twin perils posed by nukes and pollution demand action BY BARRY BARNETT

any Americans cite the economy as the most important issue today, but I believe that the environment and the dangers of Donald Trump’s proposed $1 trillion “upgrade” of the nuclear weapons system are the most critical issues we face. The Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) dropped on Afghanistan April 13 is the most powerful conventional weapon, delivering a force of 11 tons of TNT. The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 killed at least 215,000 civilians and had a force equal to 15 and 18 kilotons, respectively. In contrast, the most common warheads in the U.S. arsenal, the W76 and W88, have an explosive power of 100 and 475 kilotons, 6 to 30 times the destructive force of rudimentary atomic bombs, and 9,000 to 43,000 times the force of the MOAB. America’s submarines carry 890 of these, and land-based Minuteman III ICBMs are armed with another 400, each one 300 to 500 kilotons. A 2016 study found that a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, which has been threatened, would cause a nuclear winter severely reducing Asian monsoon rains and grain production, causing the starvation of 100 million or more people. And their weapons are less fearsome than America’s. By most estimates, North Korea has about 20 nuclear weapons with the destructive power of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. The United States has about 6,800. Russia has about 7,000, and China has 260. The United States currently spends more on its nuclear weapons program than all other countries combined. The first draft of the United Nations treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons, supported by over 120 nations, was presented May 22 and is expected to be voted on by the UN in July. The U.S. rejects the UN deliberations. Aside from the nuclear peril, the dangers posed by anthropogenic climate change, and the massive amounts of pollutants dumped into our atmosphere, water and soil, are clear. If we continue to foul our own nest, as we are doing, there will be no economy as an issue. The governments of the world and the common people here and all over Mother Earth need to demonstrate and take urgent action, doing everything we can individually and collectively to reverse these twin, interrelated threats to our existence.

Paper THE

GOT PUNS? Maybe Clover Sonoma’s rebranding campaign and the short-term disappearance of Clo was just to make us miss the cringe-worthy puns that accompanied Clo ads.

Where’s Clo? Beloved Clover cow returns to a billboard near moo BY AMELIA MALPAS

he billboard on Highway 101 headed north to Santa Rosa was a tip-off that something was afoot in the land of Clo, the beloved mascot of the Clover Sonoma dairy.

The large, roadside advertisement for the 101-yearold Petaluma company bragged of milk that was a silky-smooth

experience that offered a great residual “mouthfeel.” Um, we’re talking about milk here, not Merlot. What happened to the dopey puns from Clo herself, spotted on billboards and trucks around the Bay Area for decades? The Clover mascot has appeared as everything from a “Moomaid” to a painterly “Claude Moonet” to a “Dairy Godmother.” Once, Clo even ventured to the “Supreme

Quart” for a hearing. What gives? Where’s the Clover mascot? Inquiring minds want to . . . Clo. The company, with more than $200 million in annual sales, embarked on a mission last year to go GMO-free and boost its national bona fides as an ecologically minded leader in the milk industry. As part of the company’s new look, Clover rebranded itself, and is now

known as Clover Sonoma instead of Clover Stornetta, leveraging the strength of “Sonoma” as a brand. There were already two branches of the company, Clover Stornetta and Clover Organic, which merged as one. The company has now committed to stop using GMOs in all dairy-related processes for its conventional line of products. The organic line is already GMO-free. Clover Sonoma began in Petaluma in 1916 as the Petaluma Cooperative Creamery, and soon began distribution across the North Bay. Clo the pun-dropping cow debuted in 1969. The company wants to create a more positive image for the product, and marketing director Kristel Corson says the rebranding was influenced by Clover wanting to honor its long history in Sonoma County. “The conventional line’s packaging hadn’t been updated since the 1980s, and the organics since the 2000s, so we wanted to tighten it up for the future,” she says. “Sonoma has grown into a wonderful region with artisan foods and dairy, and we want to further be a part of that.” As of December, Clover Sonoma is a certified B Corporation, meaning it meets third-party standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. B Lab, the nonprofit group that runs the B Corp program, ranked Clover 97 out of 200 for its B Corp business practices, well above the 80 points needed to qualify. Simon Thorneycroft, co-founder of Perspective Branding, a San Francisco food-branding agency, likes Clover’s new look. Refining the previous packaging images, the company’s rebranding efforts have been focused on creating a more polished and upscale look. While the organics line still has whimsical pastoral scenes in the background, and the conventional line is still in solid primary and secondary colors, something feels tighter in the new visuals. “Packaging should tell you what you don’t know about a company, but what they want you ) 10 to know,” Thorneycroft

Doctor’s Confession to Petaluma

Twenty-nine years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story.

I was studying pre-Med in college, in hopes of becoming a medical doctor. Things were looking up, and life was good, until things took a turn for the worse. I began to have terrible back and stomach problems. For a young guy, I felt pretty rotten. My back hurt so badly that I had a hard time even concentrating in class. I was miserable. The medical doctors tried different drugs, but they only made me feel like I was in a “cloud.” I was just not getting better.

A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I soon was off all medication. It worked so well that I decided, then and there, to become a chiropractor myself. Now for my kids, Hayden and Henry. They have been under chiropractic care their entire lives. And, unlike most other kids in their class, they never get the “common” childhood illnesses like ear infections, asthma and allergies. In fact, they have never taken a drug in their lives. And they are now 19 and 21!

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their back problems and stomach problems. They come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few. If drugs make people well, then those who take the most should be the healthiest, but that simply isn’t the case. With chiropractic we don’t add anything to the body or take

Dr. Taajes with his sons anything from it. We find interference in the nervous system and remove it thus enhancing the healing capacities of the body. We get tremendous results…it really is as simple as that. Here’s what some of my patients had to say:

“I have had a problem with migraines as well as low back pain. Even after seeing doctors and other health professionals, the pains remained. After coming to Dr. Joel, they have helped tremendously. They even take away my migraines. They’re great!” (Judy E.) “I came in pending laser surgery for two herniated discs. Over a few months here the need for surgery subsided, and the pain has subsided to a mild discomfort with occasional morning stiffness. Over all, I feel better visit after visit. It’s a gradual process.” (Jaime O.) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit. Find out for yourself and benefit from an AMAZING OFFER. Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. You are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you may as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you bring in this

article between June 7, 2017 through July 5, 2017, you will receive my entire new patient exam for $27. That’s with x-rays, exam, report of findings…the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost you $350 elsewhere. Great care at a great fee… Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications… I’m a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic who regularly goes to monthly educational chiropractic seminars. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to neighbors that you may know. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care.

My staff and my associate Dr. Rogers and I are ready to see if we can help you. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee. Our office is called REDWOOD CHIROPRACTIC. Our office is located at 937 Lakeville Street, Petaluma, phone number is 707-763-8910. We would love to help you. Call Alex, Phoebe, Christine or Brenda today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you.

Dear Friend, I wanted to let everyone know what happened while I was in college. It was a moment that changed my life forever. But before I tell you about my experience, I wanted to tell you my story from the start. Let me start by explaining the photo in this letter, I’m the guy in the middle, Dr. Taatjes. You know when I meet people in town and they usually say, “Oh yeah, I know you, you’re Dr. Taatjes. You’ve been in Petaluma for years…” Well, that’s me.

says. “The four-leaf clover didn’t tell you what the brand stood for, and a company needs to stand for something to be successful. I think the new one symbolizes the outdoors and enjoying life; this one’s a bit more evocative and has personality.” But Clo has always had plenty of personality!

The cheerful cow is an intrinsic part of the regional culture. It could be said that Clo was not just the company mascot, but an emblem of the North Bay itself. The ads elicited laughs or eye rolls—love her or hate her, it’s hard for residents to be neutral toward the funny, charismatic cow. Since the rebranding, she has been noticeably absent from highway billboards, replaced by “mouthfeel” language. Where’s jaunty Clo, who stood out on the large boards with her wide-eyed smile? The company pledged in February to keep Clo as its mascot, but as of May, the endearing cow remained missing from billboards. That’s Cloutrageous! Fortunately, the company’s skill at making painful puns is still razor-sharp. “She’s on Clocation,” Corson says, and advises to keep an eye out for Clo this month. “She’ll be coming back to a billboard near you.” And she has come back! On one recently spied billboard, she appears as a suit-wearing newscaster (Rachel Madcow?), and in another, as a superhero, both announcing that Clo’s gone totally GMO-free.

hiskey is hot, and it had better stay hot awhile, because somebody needs to drink the lake of whiskey that craft distilleries are busily filling, barrel by barrel.

You’d never know there was a lake of whiskey in downtown Graton, because the whiskey lake at Graton Distilling is hidden inside a lake of wine. Almost literally. The buildings of Purple Wine & Spirits, a custom crush, bottling and distribution facility, seem to go on for a mile, and surely contain enough wine to fill a small irrigation pond, at the least. If you’ve ever seen an unfamiliar, maybe whimsically titled brand of wine that was vinted in Graton, Calif., this is likely the source. I see

familiar names on cases stacked to the sky here, too—these wines are being bottled, blended or otherwise reshuffled and warehoused. This sprawling labyrinth is the kind of place where quaint wine country gets business done. The company was founded by Derek Benham, the brandmeister— with brother Courtney, who runs Martin Ray down the road—behind the Blackstone and Mark West labels. A big fan of Spanish gin, Benham added the spirits component in 2014. But first, on to the whiskey, as company president Aaron Webb at last opens the door to a barrel room packed with gray, crusty old casks that look very different than wine barrels. These weren’t distilled in Graton, explains Webb, whose qualifications include 15 years experience at Kentucky spirits behemoth Brown-Forman, and the accent to match. They’re playing the market both ways, importing and aging Kentucky or Indianaproduced whiskey for a blend they’re calling—with some kind of smooth-sounding apologia lost to my notes—Redwood Empire American Whiskey. Yet to be released, the blend is quite smooth and tasty. Behind another door, master distiller Jeff Duckhorn and crew are steadily filling barrels, four a day, four days a week, with the product of their column still. These whiskeys are made from a wash fermented from pre-milled grain, and are still a work in progress. Duckhorn, who actually started in the accounting department (and, yes, he’s related to the Napa wine folks), pours samples from a multihued collection that fills a wall in a stylish anteroom furnished with a rustic bar. Graton Distilling is not open for tasting, however, so don’t bother the folks at the front office about it. Made with neutral spirit that’s redistilled with a custom blend of aromatic spices and citrus in small batches, the attractively retro-labeled D. George Benham’s Sonoma Dry Gin is floral and spicy, with a nice sweet and dry balance, and can be found at local retailers and bars.

A user’s guide to Old Courthouse Square

t’s a hot Friday afternoon in Santa Rosa and Old Courthouse Square is not yet an urban oasis of cool comfort, but the sycamore trees are starting to grow in as lunch-goers and downtown denizens make their way through and around Santa Rosa’s new center. The hot dog man is busy on the corner of Mendocino Avenue and Fourth Street. The place to be is on a shady bench near the remaining redwood trees that weren’t removed as the $10.5-million Square moved from concept to build-out.

Some 30 years after the downtown business community conjured a reunited Courthouse Square, here it is, and it’s frankly too easy to throw shade on the shadeless expanse of civic space—but give it time. Designed as a multi-use civic gathering space, the Square is purposefully single-level and built without a gazebo or a permanent stage to prevent any restrictions for potential events. “The idea was to create an open space for an event planner to come in and make it their space, reimagine it, re-create without having anything already established,” says Jaime Smedes, Transportation and Public Works marketing and outreach coordinator with the city of Santa Rosa. The Square truly is a blank and inviting palette, says Jonathan Coe, director of the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber of Commerce, whose offices are along the Square, ready to be painted at the discretion and direction of the citizens of Santa Rosa and a proposed business district that would give surrounding

business owners a role in the maintenance and security of the public space. Coe says the chamber is in the process of putting together a property-based business improvement district (PBID) “that would enable us to provide services beyond what the city is doing and what it would be doing on its own.” These sorts of business districts were written into California code in 1994, and allow them to supplant, but not replace, services that are already provided by the city. One of the key provisions of the law encourages nonprofits to deliver services normally provided by government, as a supplement to those services. These activities may include acting as an intermediary between Square-sitters and law enforcement, but Coe stresses that “it is not our intent to play a private security role per se. The team we hope to have on the streets will be a combination of litter picker-uppers and ‘liaisons’ to the various homeless services . . . so that they can make referrals and contacts, and then also

to collaborate where needed [with law enforcement] on quality-of-life ordinance violations.” There’s been significant support for the business district from merchants around the Square and adjoining blocks, as Coe acknowledges that past efforts to bring businesses together to better manage the downtown transient population “did not work out well.” But he says that because the initiators of the PBID are in large measure the same business owners who have pushed for the Courthouse Square unification, he’s confident the PBID will ultimately prevail. There’s first a process, however, that’s just getting off the ground. As the PBID is considered, so too is a question: Should Santa Rosans be worried about a nongovernmental organization given wide latitude to manage a public space that was upgraded with public money, and where private security officials will be charged with interacting or engaging with vulnerable, homeless and/or mentally ill persons persons who may be creating a disturbance? Coe says not too worry, as does Santa Rosa vice mayor Jack Tibbetts, who insists that any downtown business district would come with city oversight and ample sensitivity to the rights of all citizens to use the Square. Still, the proposed business district would stand in contrast to the roll-out of a revitalized and nearby Railroad Square, where business owners have an informal,

16 The Square ( 15 “pass-the-hat” system to enhance security in the area, Coe says. Railroad Square business owners bypassed the formal and statesanctioned PBID process. ourthouse Square’s present, reunified status was years in the making— the Square itself is 133 years old but was bifurcated by Mendocino Avenue in 1967. The original courthouse was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and a new one built in 1910; that courthouse was taken down in 1966 because it was declared seismically unfit. That the Square is rather starkly appointed was by design. Jason Nutt, director of the Sonoma County Department of Transportation and Public Works, says the design goal for the Square—which necessitated the controversial removal of 90 trees—was to create a space that was “open, flexible and inviting.” And right out of the gate the Square hosted the successful Ironman 70.3 Santa Rosa competition, whose organizer said the event was the best it’s seen in North America, says Nutt. Not bad for a brand-new venue. Before it was redesigned, the Square was less than ideal and contained numerous “hiding spaces” that transient citizens made use of, Nutt says. “That really made people feel uncomfortable,” he says. But the new and improved plaza will be “the community’s living room,” he says. Lesser-known design details give a sense of the local that’s not immediately observable through a simple stroll across the space. Nutt’s favorite design details are the light features, which are custom-fabricated by celebrated metal artist Michael Bondi. The fixtures are sheathed in stainless steel and have programmable LEDs that can change color. Each of the lights has the figure of a plant created by Luther Burbank cut into it: the Santa Rosa plum, Shasta daisy, firefly poppy and the white blackberry. Nutt calls the lights the plaza’s “jewelry.”

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERS Jonathan Coe, director of the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber of Commerce, is organizing local merchants into a special business district.

The current reunification effort dates back to 2004 when a group called the Coalition to Restore Courthouse Square launched a then-quixotic journey that would pay off more than a decade later. “It’s had quite a long history,” says Curtis Nichols, vice president and landscape architect at the Santa Rosa architectural firm Carlile Macy, which designed and executed the reunified Square. “We’re riding on the shoulders of a lot of people who have been trying to do this for the past 20 years,” Nichols says. Delays and cost-overruns aren’t an unusual feature of any city-sponsored project, and Courthouse Square was no exception. Wet weather was one of the biggest obstacles, Nichols says. “The biggest challenge was the tight time frame,” Nichols says. “There was a point in the beginning where it was like, ‘What did I sign up for!’” Though it’s open to the public, the plaza isn’t complete. Yet to come is a redesigned water

fountain on the south side featuring artist Ruth Asawa’s works of history and marine life that used to occupy the site, and an as-yet-to-be-determined art installation on the north side. Funds for those projects have not yet been raised. But Nichols is proud of what he helped create. “We took our charge seriously,” he says. “This is arguably the most important public space in Santa Rosa.” The trees will grow quickly, Nichols says, as he highlights some of the other fun and funky decisions that give the plaza its character. The permeable paver tiles will minimize stormwater runoff and help meet the plaza’s sustainability goals. One surprise for residents may have been the inclusion of parking around the plaza, with angled lots on the east and west sides that Nichols says are the best practices for new urban design that reflect and enhance a new effort to bring people back to downtown after an

exodus that began nationwide in the 1960s. The Square also encourages multi-use functions with the installation of 50 bike racks, free WiFi and “hydration stations,” plumbing formerly known as “water fountains.” hile Coe and local businesses are putting together their plan to provide security, services and overall management of the Square, he has no intention to use a heavy hand, especially when it comes to programming, which the PBID does not address. “The programming in the Square at this point will remain with the city and with city parks,” he says. “They have a very clear process for getting permitted. That said, we will put together a variety of programming options that will go through the same process as anyone else.” That process starts with Tara Thompson, arts coordinator with Santa Rosa’s Department of Recreation & Parks.

The Square

e all see benefits to the PBID proposal,” says Tibbets, who adds that, while city officials are

‘

focused on affordable housing, the Roseland annexation, cannabis permits—all while short-staffed— the Courthouse Square business district can pick up some of the slack. Still, the issue of Santa Rosa’s homeless population swirls around the future of Old Courthouse Square—and Tibbets says for that reason “everything is in kind of a limbo,” as the city awaits the petition and proposal. “They need to whip up the votes to actually form this thing,” Tibbets says, even as the city progresses on an anti-homeless plan that’s yet to be fully implemented. It appears that there’s a little bit of “wait and see” going on between business and the city. “It’s true the business community didn’t want Courthouse Square to be a transient place for the homeless or indigent,” Tibbetts says. “But attitudes are changing around the Square once it opened—we are seeing homeless people utilize it, as they have a right to. But they are not, and have not been, an unwelcome presence.” He says the business district proposal would be subject to review by the city council. Under state law, the PBID has to be renewed every five years, among other conditions of the designation. And if the group was in breach of contract, the city “would take control of Courthouse Square at any given time. This is not a gift of public property to private entities.” Coe is aware and comfortable with the PBID’s proposed role, but even moreso, he’s excited about the possibilities as he lists the ingredients for a wellmanaged plaza. The only missing ingredient is time. He ticks of “the music concerts, a Friday-night market, special events, a place for First Amendment rights to be asserted. This is essentially a place for the community to convene and hopefully with that vitality comes increased business activity downtown. Stick around, enjoy the restaurants!”

Event hosts need to apply for a permit with Thompson, who facilitates the review and approval process. The Square is currently hosting single-day events, such as the Luther Burbank Rose Parade and the IronMan triathlon, which both took place in May. The Wednesday Night Market now runs adjacent to the plaza and on June 7, three couples are getting married at the market. Interest is in the plaza is high, Thompson says. “I’ve met with several people over the last month or so who see that the Square is now open and want to bring an event there.” Recreation & Parks has been drafting a revised permit policy that provides clear guidelines and restrictions for event producers. The revised policy was slated to go before the Santa Rosa City Council on June 6. Thompson hopes these new guidelines will help prevent occurrences like the spray-paint markings left on the paver stones after Rose Parade organizers thought they’d used water-soluble paint. Oops. “That was just a total fluke,” says Thompson. Event organizers, she says, ought to apply a minimum of one month, and up to a year, in advance, depending on the complexity of the proposed event. Outdoor yoga has been going on in the Square since it opened last month, but permits for that don’t take a month to approve, she says, owing to the limited impact on surrounding traffic and parking. Permits cost $75, though event producers will also have to pay general liability insurance and cover other costs such as reserving parking spaces. You want to serve booze or crank up some propane stoves? That will require additional permission from the city. You want to blow a doobie? Not a good idea.

n Lucky Penny Productions’ slight but entertaining Clue: The Musical, audiences are encouraged to play along, competing to see who can guess which onstage character committed the murder, in which room and with which weapon. Based on the beloved board game (not the 1985 movie), Clue is packed with effective (but fairly unmemorable) tunes, with inspired choreography by Staci Arriaga, and a string of goofy gags. The plot (forgive me for using that word, Mr. Webster) is exactly what one might expect. There is a different ending with every performance, depending on the choices of three audience volunteers, who randomly choose

cards depicting the victim, place and weapon. Those cards are then placed in an envelope hanging from the bandstand, where live musicians watch the action and sometimes become involved in it. The “story” (sorry again, Mr. Webster!) is simple. At the home of the soon-to-be-dead Mr. Boddy (Barry Martin)—who acts as the narrator, before and after his murder—six colorful suspects have gathered: the conniving Colonel Mustard, the oft-married Mrs. Peacock, the grammarobsessed Professor Plum, the social-climbing Miss Scarlett, the larcenous Mr. Green and the flat-out hilarious Mrs. White. They all have good reason to want Mr. Boddy dead, and when it finally happens, just before the intermission, it’s then up to the audience, with the “help” of a bizarro second-act detective (Heather Buck). The dialogue is delightfully silly, packed with puns and bawdier than one might anticipate from a show inspired by a family board game. This kind of theatrical lark is best played fast and loose, and under the bouncy direction of Taylor Bartolucci, the talented cast certainly handles the “loose” part of that equation. The pace, however, was a bit lackadaisical on opening night, stretching the thin, pleasantly pointless material to just over two hours (a time frame better suited to a Monopoly: The Musical). Still, there is a pleasingly nostalgic thrill to seeing these characters brought to life. That is especially apt of the true (and cartoonishly oversized) stars of the show: the Wrench, the Lead Pipe, the Dagger, the Candlestick, the Rope and the Revolver. On opening night, when those weapons appeared, some of the audience actually cheered. Rating (out of 5): ‘Clue: The Musical’ plays Thursday– Sunday through June 18, at the Lucky Penny Community Arts Center, 1758 Industrial Way, Napa. Thursday, 7pm; Friday–Saturday, 8pm; Sunday, 2pm. $21–$31. 707.266.6305.

Summer Lovin’ Brent Rademaker pulls triple duty at Huichica

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

t’s going to be nearly impossible to miss Brent Rademaker at this year’s Huichica Music Festival in Sonoma. The Los Angeles–based musician will be hitting the stage at least three times over the festival’s two days: with his country band Beachwood Sparks; alongside brother Darren in surf-psych project the Tyde; and leading his throwback folk-rock outfit GospelbeacH. “I’m going to be like [David] Crosby at Monterey [Pop Festival],” Rademaker says. “Except that I’m not going to take acid.” GospelbeacH is Rademaker’s main focus these days. The band’s sophomore album, Another Summer of Love, is out June 16. “I had been listening to so much ’70s rock over the last couple years,” he says, “I really wanted to

make an album that sounded like it could have been from 1975–80.” GospelbeacH succeeds wildly in capturing authentic-sounding analog atmospheres, and slight fuzz buffers the sunny acoustics throughout to form a hazy, ethereal bubble around the entire record. Like the title implies, Another Summer of Love’s classic folk and rock sound is in line with the likes of the Grateful Dead, though it’s not exactly a retread of 1967. “I wrote a song that referenced it about a year and a half ago, and I saw all the things coming up about the 50th anniversary, but [the album’s title] really wasn’t about that,” Rademaker says. Rather, the album is more accurately a nod to the nostalgic summers of the musician’s youth, and the soundtracks that accompany those memories. “Every summer you seem to fall in love.” Rademaker also credits classic movies like Summer Lovers among his list of influences, lending a coming-of-age attitude to the new record. This weekend, GospelbeacH continues its own coming-of-age at Huichica, while Beachwood Sparks, which has largely been on hiatus since 2013, makes a rare appearance. “With Beachwood, we never did anything for the fans,” Rademaker says with a laugh. “We never played encores or our singles. This time around, we thought about what people really want to hear, so we’re learning all the fan favorites and the hits.” Rademaker is a veteran of Huichica, and he praises the venue’s unpretentious and intimate vibe. “We’ve played a lot of festivals, and they’re all giant herds of people,” he says. “Huichica is not like that.” This year’s lineup also features Robyn Hitchcock, Cass McCombs, Marty O’Reilly, Allah-Las and Dean Wareham playing Galaxie 500 songs. “It’s like a giant mix tape,” Rademaker says. “If you can’t enjoy yourself there, something’s wrong.”

Let’s Dance

Explaining the entourage effect BY PATRICK ANDERSON

ancing by yourself in your room with the stereo on, busting moves only you can see, is analogous to being a singleplant molecule like, say, the cannabinoid known as cannabidiol, or CBD.

While your dance prowess and the sonic reach of the stereo system might be respectable, they are inherently limited. Now cut to the dance hall. Hundreds of dancers pulsate and move autonomously yet in unison to the music, creating an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. This is equivalent to the entourage effect, and it explains the efficacy of whole-plant cannabis therapy. The entourage effect was illuminated through discoveries of the endocannabinoid system, the master regulator for many of our physiological processes including the immune system, digestion and stress adaptation. When the system is deficient or poorly regulated,

plants such as cannabis, which are rich in phytocannabinoids, can restore balance. The understanding of this principle was furthered in two papers by neuroscientist Ethan Russo. Russo is medical director of Phytecs, a biotech company that focuses on the endocannabinoid system. One paper illustrated the possible synergistic effects of cannabinoids (CBD, THC) and terpenoids (the compounds that give cannabis its aroma) for a variety of conditions such as cancer, anxiety, depression and insomnia. The second paper demonstrated that “CBD and perhaps other cannabis components achieve synergy with THC consisting of potentiation of benefits,” thus suggesting a “broad applicability in their future therapeutic application.” Translation: THC and CBD can work together to make you feel better. If individual plant components create complementary therapeutic effects when combined, what does this mean in a practical sense when considering the goals of cannabis therapy? In a crucial study titled “Overcoming the Bell-Shaped Dose-Response of Cannabidiol by Using Cannabis Extract Enriched in Cannabidiol,” a team of Israeli scientists demonstrated that whole-plant, CBD-rich cannabis extract possessed far greater therapeutic potential than singlemolecule CBD in regards to antiinflammatory and pain-relieving abilities. The Israeli authors noted that “it is likely that other components in the extract synergize with CBD to achieve the desired antiinflammatory action.” This synergy is the entourage in full effect, a culmination of individual molecules moving harmoniously in a therapeutic dance party. Patrick Anderson is a lead educator at Project CBD.

If you asked me to help foster your collaborative zeal, I’d encourage you to build a shrine in honor of your bond—an altar that would invoke the blessings of deities, nature spirits and the ancestors. If you hired me to advise you on how to keep the fires burning and the juices flowing between you two, I’d urge you to never compare your relationship to any other, but rather celebrate the fact that it’s unlike any other in the history of the planet. TAURUS (April 20–May 20) The Milky Way

Galaxy contains more than 100 billion stars. If they were shared equally, every person on Earth could have dominion over at least 14. I mention this because you’re in a phase when it makes sense for you to claim your 14. Yes, I’m being playful, but I’m also quite serious. According to my analysis of the upcoming weeks, you will benefit from envisaging big, imaginative dreams about the riches that could be available to you in the future. How much money do you want? How much love can you express? How thoroughly at home in the world could you feel? How many warm rains would you like to dance beneath? How much creativity do you need to keep reinventing your life? Be extravagant as you fantasize.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) “When I grow up, I’m not sure what I want to be.” Have you ever heard that thought bouncing around your mind, Gemini? Or how about this one: “Since I can’t decide what I want to be, I’ll just be everything.” If you have been tempted to swear allegiance to either of those perspectives, I suggest it’s time to update your relationship with them. A certain amount of ambivalence about commitment and receptivity to myriad possibilities will always be appropriate for you. But if you hope to fully claim your birthright, if you long to ripen into your authentic self, you’ll have to become ever more definitive and specific about what you want to be and do. CANCER (June 21–July 22) As a Cancerian myself, I’ve had days when I’ve stayed in bed from morning to nightfall, confessing my fears to my imaginary friends and eating an entire cheesecake. As an astrologer, I’ve noticed that these blue patches seem more likely to occur during the weeks before my birthday each year. If you go through a similar blip any time soon, here’s what I recommend: Don’t feel guilty about it. Don’t resist it. Instead, embrace it fully. If you feel lazy and depressed, get REALLY lazy and depressed. Literally hide under the covers with your headphones on and feel sorry for yourself for as many hours as it takes to exhaust the gloom and emerge renewed. LEO (July 23–August 22) In the early days of the internet, “sticky” was a term applied to websites that were good at drawing readers back again and again. To possess this quality, a content provider had to have a knack for offering text and images that web surfers felt an instinctive yearning to bond with. I’m reanimating this term so I can use it to describe you. Even if you don’t have a website, you now have a soulful adhesiveness that arouses people’s urge to merge. Be discerning how you use this stuff. You may be stickier than you realize! VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Ancient Mayans used chili and magnolia and vanilla to prepare exotic chocolate drinks from cacao beans. The beverage was sacred and prestigious to them. It was a centerpiece of cultural identity and an accessory in religious rituals. In some locales, people were rewarded for producing delectable chocolate with just the right kind and amount of froth. I suspect, Virgo, that you will soon be asked to do the equivalent of demonstrating your personal power by whipping up the best possible chocolate froth. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, the chances are good you’ll succeed. LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Do you have your visa for the wild side? Have you packed your bag of tricks? I hope you’ll bring gifts to dispense, just in

case you’ll need to procure favors in the outlying areas where the rules are a bit loose. It might also be a good idea to take along a skeleton key and a snake-bite kit. You won’t necessarily need them. But I suspect you’ll be offered magic cookies and secret shortcuts, and it would be a shame to have to turn them down simply because you’re unprepared for the unexpected.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) You’re like a prince or princess who has been turned into a frog by the spell of a fairy-tale villain. This situation has gone on for a while. In the early going, you retained a vivid awareness that you had been transformed. But the memory of your origins has faded, and you’re no longer working so diligently to find a way to change back into your royal form. Frankly, I’m concerned. This horoscope is meant to remind you of your mission. Don’t give up! Don’t lose hope! And take extra good care of your frog-self, please.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) People might have ideas about you that are at odds with how you understand yourself. For example, someone might imagine that you have been talking trash about them—even though you haven’t been. Someone else may describe a memory they have about you, and you know it’s a distorted version of what actually happened. Don’t be surprised if you hear even more outlandish tales, too, like how you’re stalking Taylor Swift or conspiring with the One World Government to force all citizens to eat kale every day. I’m here to advise you to firmly reject all of these skewed projections. For the immediate future, it’s crucial to stand up for your right to define yourself— to be the final authority on what’s true about you.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) “God doesn’t play dice with the universe,” said Albert Einstein. In response, another Nobel Prize–winning physicist, Niels Bohr, said to Einstein, “Stop giving instructions to God.” I urge you to be more like Bohr than Einstein in the coming weeks, Capricorn. As much as possible, avoid giving instructions to anyone, including God, and resist the temptation to offer advice. In fact, I recommend that you abstain from passing judgment, demanding perfection and trying to compel the world to adapt itself to your definitions. Instead, love and accept everything and everyone exactly as they are right now. AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18)

Lysistrata is a satire by ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It takes place during the war between Athens and Sparta. The heroine convinces a contingent of women to withhold sexual privileges from the soldiers until they stop fighting. “I will wear my most seductive dresses to inflame my husband’s ardor,” says one. “But I will never yield to his desires. I won’t raise my legs towards the ceiling. I will not take up the position of the Lioness on a Cheese Grater.” Regardless of your gender, Aquarius, your next assignment is twofold: 1. Don’t be like the women in the play. Give your favors with discerning generosity. 2. Experiment with colorful approaches to pleasure like the Lioness with a Cheese Grater, the Butterfly Riding the Lizard, the Fox Romancing the River and any others you can dream up.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) Take your

seasick pills. The waves will sometimes be higher than your boat. Although I don’t think you’ll capsize, the ride may be wobbly. And unless you have waterproof clothes, it’s probably best to just get naked. You will get drenched. By the way, don’t even fantasize about heading back to shore prematurely. You have good reasons to be sailing through the rough waters. There’s a special “fish” out there that you need to catch. If you snag it, it will feed you for months—maybe longer.

Windsor Produce Manager & Employee Owner of Oliver’s Market

“Su er is officiay here! The Fitzgerald White Nectarines are by far my favorite fruit that we carry a year. They are sw t like sugar, with a firm texture. You can find these beauties at a four of our locations.”

Fitzgerald Kelly

FRESH WHITE

NECTARINES

Oliver’s began buying fruit from Fitzgerald Kelly about ten years ago when he approached Oliver’s Produce Coordinator Mike Peterson with the promise that he had the best stone fruit in the world. Fitz left a sample box of white nectarines to try, and we have carried them ever since. The relationship is one we take great pride in, & our customers know to watch for the arrival of his fruit each year.

Oliver’s Market is now an employee owned company thanks to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), as well as a Social Purpose Corporation! An ESOP is an opportunity for all our eligible employees to own a slice of the company. It’s a wonderful way to share the wealth our employees create, no matter what position in the company they hold. The ESOP is funded by the company and is of no cost to our employees. Our employees are already proud of the business they have helped build and the ESOP will provide an additional level of employee ownership pride. So, if we act like we own the place, it’s because we do! What’s a Social Purpose Corporation you ask? A Social Purpose Corporation is a for-profit business status that allows us to consider social or environmental issues in decision making instead of relying only on profit maximizing goals. Oliver’s Market, it doesn’t get more locally owned than employee owned!
