Shakespeare and Lyme I would like to take a moment to thank you for having the courage to print this article and the actress’ interview and struggle with this most horrific illness (“Art of Survival,” July 19). Sadly, due to in-fighting between different paradigms— one old-school, one cutting-edge—we, the critically ill, are the ones left to suffer, go broke and die. What other illness has a suicide rate of 58 percent? As a former

price customers pay for energy is more closely aligned with the actual cost of providing that energy and encourage extremely high-energy users to conserve energy. The changes were developed jointly among California utilities, the California Public Utilities Commission and consumer-interest groups. A tiered-rate plan has pricing levels, known as “tiers,” which are based on how much energy you use. Since the energy crisis in 2001, rate increases were placed on the higher tiers while prices for lower tiers remained stable.

By Tom Tomorrow

For years, high-energy users were paying more than the cost to provide them with electric service. The March 1 tier-balancing reduced the number of tiers and implemented a high-usage surcharge to encourage energy conservation for high users. These changes mean that low energy users began to see rates increase on their March bills, while customers in hotter climates may see lower rates.

Lying 101 President Donald Trump, White House officials and assorted sold-out Republican representatives (Lindsey Graham and John McCain excluded) and conservative pundits subscribe to the same stale strategy when it comes to meetings with Russians: Lie—meetings never took place; admit a meeting took place, but it was insignificant; admit the meeting was significant, but it didn’t amount to collusion; admit it was collusion, but that collusion is normal and commonplace in political campaigns; blame Hillary; blame the Secret Service; call it all fake news. The White House is all about putting up a smokescreen of lies and utter nonsensical tangents, so critics are put on the defensive. We are distracted from the brazen violation of ethics and law. This presidency is an outrage, and as tedious as it may be, we shouldn’t stop the steady drumbeat of anger and criticism directed at this malevolent and his loyal flunkies. At the same time, the Democrats should articulate a strong vision for the future, including the needs of the working class.

Hugs, Not Hate

Black Jade by Mason K ay

In times of conflict, act from the heart BY DAVID MADGALENE

he poet Mark Eckert and I were attending one of the free concerts that take place throughout Sonoma County in the summer a couple weeks ago—I won’t say where because Mark and I thought the band really stunk.

Mark started making undecipherable, indescribable gestures to signify his disgust, which made me laugh. The man standing in front of Mark turned around, and he must’ve thought Mark was mocking him. This crusty old-timer, with his San Francisco Giants cap, long, curly white hair and goatee, plenty of meat on his bones and a T-shirt that read “Guns don’t kill people—people kill people,” suddenly grabbed Mark in a bear hug and said in his ear, loud enough for me to hear, “I’m friends with Sonny Barger.” Then he looked at me. I rolled my eyes as if to say, “I’m with Stupid, please don’t hold it against me,” and Crusty said, “I like your hat.” (Thank God I was wearing my Giants hat!) And for the rest of the concert, we were all best buddies! I think I learned something from that guy, something to pass on. Next time you find yourself in presence of someone with whom you don’t agree (I don’t agree with Crusty’s T-shirt) or you think you have grounds for a potential conflict, like maybe they disrespected you, grab them in a big bear hug and tell them something straight from the heart that you think they might need to hear. “Sonny Barger is my friend” is good. So is “Be the change you want to see.” Or maybe “Jesus said, ‘Love your enemies.’” Or tell them, “You’re not going to catch the Midnight Rider.” Richard Nixon ended his resignation speech on Aug. 9, 1974, with these words: “Always remember others may hate you. But the ones who hate you can’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.” Don’t hate Trump and his supporters or anyone else with whom you might disagree or have grounds for conflict. Like Trump, Nixon and their supporters, you and I, too, can destroy ourselves with hate. David Madgalene is a poet-lyricist who lives in Windsor.

FISH LIVE HERE Felta Creek is one of the last streams in the Russian River watershed

where endangered coho spawn.

Fight for Felta Residents battle proposed logging plan near Felta Creek BY TOM GOGOLA

Humboldt County businessman appears poised to get the green light from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) to log most of a forested 160-acre Healdsburg parcel crossed by Felta Creek.

Felta Creek is a tributary of the Russian River and one of a dwindling number of regional

creeks where endangered wild coho salmon spawn. Ken Bareilles’ timber harvest plan (THP) has gone through two rounds of review at Cal Fire and awaits a proposed July 28 sign-off from the Santa Rosa regional office of the agency now reviewing public comments. Then it heads to Cal Fire director Ken Pimlott or his representative for a final approval, according to an online Cal Fire explainer detailing the THP process. Cal Fire forestry

official Anthony Lukacic has been the agency’s point-person through the process. Bareilles says he has every expectation that Cal Fire will approve his THP, which will be executed by Redwood Valley logger Randy Jacobszoon. If they don’t, he’s suing Cal Fire. And if they do, a coalition of opponents has pledged to sue Cal Fire as well, to seek an injunction against the harvest. The final sign-off is contingent upon the consideration of

more than 70 public comments submitted to the THP by residents and an array of environmental and fisheries organizations concerned about the salmon. The fate of the coho are among an array of issues that have arisen as the plan has made its way through the approval process this year. Dry Creek and its tributaries have been part of a federal-state program that set out to save the coho. Fisheries experts say Felta Creek is a key piece to the potential recovery of the coho. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reports that, as recently as 2012, Felta Creek was the only tributary of Dry Creek that supported coho salmonspawn “redds” in its gravel beds during the years-long drought just ended. The winding and wellcanopied creek runs year-round, even in the worst of the drought years—and with the rain-soaked winter of 2016–17 in the rear-view, fisheries experts are hopeful that it provided a huge boost to coho and steelhead stocks. A public comment submitted by Sebastopol resident Sandy Eastoak on June 26 pithily summed up the arc and scope of the concerns about this timberharvest plan. She cited a litany of concerns that echo through the dozens of public comments filed in opposition to the plan: logging on steep slopes that could lend to the possibly of landslides, creek sedimentation, questions over the structural integrity of bridges over the creek that logging trucks would use, fire safety along the winding Felta Creek Road, and the safety of residents and nearby schoolchildren at the West Side Elementary School located at the bottom of Felta Creek Road. Other critics highlighted the approved use of a chemical agent called Dust-Off to suppress dust raised on Felta Creek Road, which runs adjacent to the creek, noting that the magnesium chloride– based product has been studied and shown to be toxic to humans and animals alike. “But the overwhelming, urgent reason to block this rapacious plan,” Eastoak wrote, “is that destroying salmon habitat in our already decimated area

threat abatement are the two highest priorities to advance recovery and prevent extinction of coho salmon,” Van Atta wrote in a NOAA document dated April 14, 2017. That document was submitted to Dominik Schwab, the Santa Rosa–based Cal Fire Forest Practice program manager now reviewing the public comments. Local officials have also raised alarm over the THP. State Sen. Mike McGuire wrote Pimlott in late June asking that he extend the public comment period to allow for a full transportation impact study and more time to explore an acceptable timber plan that wouldn’t threaten Felta Creek’s fragile coho population. Imhoff, part of a new nonprofit called Friends of the Felta Creek, says he’s not opposed to some logging of the land, which has not been harvested since 1994. He calls for, at most, a scaleddown THP that would focus on the selection of single trees for harvesting, instead of the 146-acre harvest under consideration as part of the THP. He adds, however, that not enough time or effort has been put into alternative solutions to harvesting the land and that alternatives to logging were summarily dismissed in the THP as unworkable. Cal Fire’s Hall says the fix is not in on the THP, despite residents’ concerns. If issues are raised in the public comment period that haven’t been adequately addressed, “then we may have to recirculate that portion of the plan for public comment. There is a possibility,” he adds, that the “public comment period could be extended.” Larry Hanson, executive director of Forests Unlimited, which has been counseling Felta Creek residents as the process has played out, is less than convinced that Cal Fire will do right by the coho. The approved-not-approved switch-out on the agency’s spreadsheets, he says, gives every indication that the agency will approve the THP this week. “They just seem to want to do it,” he says.

with a plan.” However, by July 20, the “approved” box found on the online document was blank again. To Felta Creek Road resident Dan Imhoff, the premature Cal Fire sign-off reveals a pro forma public comment period and an agency that tilts to the demands of the state’s logging industry. Noting that the agency has to provide official responses to dozens of public comments before it approves the proposal, Imhoff called Cal Fire “a criminally negligent agency. They have people approving plans and hauling operations they haven’t even examined with their own two eyes. They make decisions based on regulations in red books whose rules they can’t even remember in public meetings. They disregard other agencies’ expertise because they have a history of disagreement over fish protection versus industrial logging.” Imhoff highlighted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its subsidiary, the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), as agencies whose recommendations have thus far been ignored or otherwise downplayed in the THP process. The harvest plan serves as an environmental impact report (EIR) required under the California Environmental Quality Act “The THP actually serves as a certified program that is functionally equivalent to an EIR, so it does require that we do an interagency review,” says Hall. That review brought in input from numerous state agencies with a stake in the outcome. In 2016, the NMFS conducted a fish survey of Felta Creek to assess the robustness of the salmon and steelhead trout that also spawn in the Russian River’s tributaries. Alecia Van Atta, assistant regional administrator at NMFS, highlighted that not only is Felta Creek a critical yearround habitat for the coho—but that fisheries experts rely on it as a control stream to inform their overall coho-management practices. Felta Creek has been identified by NMFS as one of six creeks in the Russian River ecosystem “where habitat restoration and

is shocking, ignorant and ecologically criminal.” Bareilles says the THP addresses or mitigates these various concerns, and says some have been overstated. He stresses that none of the logging will be done adjacent to the creek, where a deep buffer zone of forest will remain intact. He’s agreed to limits on when logging trucks can use Felta Creek Road and says he’s done everything asked of him by Cal Fire. He bought the land for $2.5 million in 2015 and says it’s currently listed on the market for $7.5 million, should an appropriate buyer come forward— and notes that there’s more than $3 million worth of timber on the land, which is zoned for logging. He says he won’t refrain from logging the land once a promised lawsuit is filed, “unless someone comes along and buys the property.” In the meantime, he’s already got purchase orders pending with Redwood Empire and a Mendocino lumber company. “I’m hoping they’ll sign the plan this week,” he says. “They said they are going to approve it.” Residents and activists are convinced that the fix is in on this THP. Indeed, Cal Fire’s matrix of the numerous THPs under consideration across the region and state would seem to indicate as much. As of July 17, the state agency’s database of THP applications indicated the “approved” box had been checked on this project with an approval date of July 28, 2017. Cal Fire’s website explains the approved box is “the date the THP was approved by the Cal Fire Director.” How can something be approved before it is approved? On July 18, Dennis Hall, assistant deputy director for forest practices at Cal Fire, explained that the July 28 marker was a “tentative date for our staff in Santa Rosa to make a determination,” and added that the date in fact reflected “an extension granted by the landowner to complete the review.” The review, he said, is still ongoing, and July 28 is “the earliest date we could approve it— that is a tentative date, although that’s the date that’s agreed to by the owner and us to come up

fruits (technically, cukes are fruit) and converts them into lactic acid, which creates a hostile environment for harmful bacteria and fungi. Plus, fermented foods offer healthful, probiotic benefits for your gut.

Brine of the Time How to preserve a little bit of summer on your countertop BY STETT HOLBROOK

ickling season is upon us. Summer’s bounty will soon become soggy unless you it all eat quickly, or turn to pickling. I advocate both. How you eat

them is up to you, but I’ll offer some advice on pickling. There are two kinds of pickles: fermented pickles and vinegarbrined pickles. Both are good, but I think fermented pickles are better. For one, canning is a pain, what with all that equipment

and worries about botulism. Fermenting is much easier. And there’s something magic about leaving the job to beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria to do the work for you. Lactobacillus consumes the sugars found in vegetables and

Wash the cukes and slice into quarters. Peel and smash the garlic. Pour water (preferably filtered or chlorine-free) into a half-gallon glass jar big enough to hold the cucumbers with room for one or two inches of brine above the pickles-to-be. Add salt and mix to dissolve, then add the garlic, spices and oak leaves. Place the cucumbers in vertical stacks so they stand up. You can fit more in this way, pushing additional cucumbers into the gaps. Make sure the vegetables are completely submerged in the brine. Cover with a cloth or loosely fitted lid and set out on your counter. After a few days, bubbles will start to form. That’s fermentation! After a week or so, taste a pickle to see if it’s to your liking. The longer it goes, the more sour the taste. Two weeks is probably long enough. Once done, cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. Mine last a month or more before they start to get a bit soggy—but they usually get eaten up well before that.

Czech Me Out In search of the original Bohemian beer BY JAMES KNIGHT

t took a long summer afternoon’s rummage around town to find just a handful of locally brewed examples of America’s favorite beer.

Beer style, that is, not a particular brewery’s beer—that’s still a matter of some debate. The great breweries of the American Century made the lightly hopped pilsner style from Bohemia synonymous with “beer,” and it was exactly that canned, flavorless villain that the ale-centric microbrew movement was set up in opposition to. Lately, craft brew has

come back to the classic American beer of summer. Lagunitas Pils Czech Style Pilsner The big surprise of this single blind tasting, as I waited and waited for the Lagunitas to show up—where was that telltale, piney hop aroma? Instead of smelling like yet another version of their pale ale, this shows a floral, sweet and toasty aroma of shortbread biscuits and fresh, pale malt grain (to get this in your aromatic repertoire, take a trip to the brew supply store and stick your head in a barrel of pale 2-row). “Reminds me of Michelob,” said one taster—high praise for style. Fresh, foamy, dry enough but not raspy, this is a doggone exemplar of the finely tuned yet uncomplicated-tasting suds that refresh at the fair, the beach or other summer events. Weihenstephaner Pilsner Billed as the world’s oldest brewery, this Bavarian import seemed like a good bet for a control group of one. And it is: fresh, unbuttered popcorn and lemon grass meet on the foamy head of this fine brew. Sierra Nevada Summerfest Crisp Lager Remember when it was a big deal to find Sierra Nevada pale ale on tap alongside the usual Bud, Miller, Coors? The microbrew giant has since introduced new styles to stay relevant, and here’s this: a classic American beer that’s middle-of-the-road mellow aromatically, and juices the palate with just a hint of fruity grain and white raspberry. St. Florian’s California Common Lager More a St. Florian’s style than anything else, with rich, amber hue, caramel and bruised pear aroma and ashy, almost peaty finish. It’s a fine brew for those cool North Bay summer evenings when the fog rolls in. Plow Sonoma Coast Pils Talk about beer in a can! This is canned while you wait in a huge 32-ounce crowler ($9). On the other hand— beer in a can. While technically unflawed, we found this flavorneutral and watery. Bear Republic ‘Double Aught’ Pilsner This looks like fun, with a Bohemia-inspired label, but with a butyric top note and raspy, steely backend, wasn’t fun drinking. Have a Racer instead. One bottle tasted.

Or maybe it’s not so strange or so long, either.

The founder and CEO of Enterprise Vineyard Management and the co-owner of Winery Sixteen 600, Coturri thinks that wine and weed are compatible in the field and on the dining room table. He’d like to see more pairing between the two, and with food as well. Coturri is coming out of the cannabis closet to warn us all of

the dangers ahead for the world of cannabis. Before it’s too late. Before the regulators destroy something valuable that has been shaped by growers and smokers, farmers and aficionados for the past half century. Indeed, he has thought carefully about the repercussions of his words and his deeds. In his case, caution seems to have been

the better part of wisdom. He hasn’t forgotten that cannabis is illegal under federal law and that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has put it near the top of his list of drugs to be eliminated. I’ve known Coturri for years, not only as a grape grower and winemaker, but also as a cannabis connoisseur. I’ve previously written about him under

pseudonyms. That’s the way he always wanted it. If he’s allowed his name to be used in print now, it’s because he recognizes that cannabis is in crisis and needs all the friends it can muster. As a connoisseur of wine and weed, he’s worried that in the rush to legalize, regulate and normalize marijuana in California, the beauty of the plant ) 14

That’s why he’s coming out of the cannabis closet little by little, slowly and steadily. Indeed, he invited me to his office on First Street West in Sonoma, not far from the Plaza, because he wanted to sound an alarm, before the bureaucrats crush a whole way of life.

oturri isn’t the only one to sound an alarm. All across Northern California, small growers share his fear that new rules will drive many of them out of business and hand the pot industry over to the big guys who have big money and who can afford to hire lawyers and consultants. Then, too, Coturri and his ilk argue, quality will suffer, as weed goes corporate and quantity soars. Some say the quality has already declined and that it’s essential to save the endangered world of boutique pot. In some ways, Coturri seems like the last of the old school hippies. He grew up and came of age in the counterculture of the San Francisco Bay Area, which thrived on pot, protest and psychedelic rock. Coturri arrives for our meeting right on time, smelling of the great outdoors and as fresh as one of the many vineyards he manages. “Come springtime, vineyards take over my life,” he says. He wears glasses, a full beard, boots, shorts and a sweatshirt that reads: “Resist.” Indeed, he’s probably as much of a resister now as he was during the Vietnam War era, and as critical of Trump as he was of presidents Johnson and Nixon. On the wall of the office are pictures of some of Coturri’s heroes: Janis Joplin, Beat poet Michael McClure, Jerry Garcia, Gary Snyder, the environmentalist and Pulitzer Prize winner, and Owsley Stanley, often described as “the King of LSD.”

orn into a working-class Italian-American family in San Francisco, Coturri is a product of the city’s bohemian and immigrant communities. His father and grandfather both made wine. His brother Tony makes wine. His sons Sam and Max also make wine. It’s in their blood. So, too, is THC.

Cannabis is in crisis and needs all the friends it can muster. “I’ve heard people describe cannabis as a threat to wine, but I definitely don’t see it that way,” Coturri says. “I think it’s time to emphasize the connoisseurs in both worlds—the people who are using both, not to get wasted, intoxicated and high just for the sake of getting high, but to appreciate the flavors, the taste and the aroma. In my world, they’re both familial—something to be shared with the whole extended family.” Like many others who straddle the worlds of wine and weed, Coturri wonders how the Wine & Weed Symposium, taking place Thursday, Aug. 3, at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek in Santa Rosa, might open eyes and present new information. (See the Nugget, p26, for more.) Meanwhile, he looks up at the photo of Gary Snyder. “We also need to remember the vital 50year history of cannabis in our community here in Sonoma,” he says, “and remember that it’s an integral part of our values and our traditions. We have to keep it alive. It provides meaning to what we do and how we think and feel.”

oturri began to smoke marijuana at the age of 14. (He dropped acid, he told me, before he began to

‘We have to keep it alive. It provides meaning to what we do and how we think and feel.’ Still, Coturri says he understands some of the reasons why the industry is being so intensely regulated by the government, more than any other crop in California. “Every Tom, Dick and Harry is growing pot,” he says. “For the most part, they don’t understand the complexities of the plant, or its medicinal and therapeutic properties.” These Johnny-come-latelys often don’t know what real pot ought to taste like, smell like and look like, he says. At the end of a hard day’s labor, Coturri likes to go into his greenhouse and putter with

his pot plants as a way to relax, unwind and be at peace with himself and the world. “Marijuana is an amazing plant,” he says. “I enjoy watching the whole growing cycle, from the germination of the seeds to the flowering of the female plants. It has long been a passion of mine.” This past April, the New York Times published a couple of photos of Coturri. In one, he walks through a vineyard at Kamen Estate, which he manages; in the other, he’s in his greenhouse surrounded by marijuana starts. The article that accompanied the photos describes marijuana as Coturri’s “hobby.” Maybe that’s the way it looks from New York. In Sonoma, it’s more like a quest for something that’s hard to define and difficult to pin down, but that adds zest to life. The Times article also claimed that Coturri was as “exalted locally” for his marijuana as he was “for his vineyard practices.” That’s an exaggeration, to say the least. As an icon of the organic and biodynamic California grape and wine industry, Coturri has mostly kept his cannabis connection under his hat and not advertised it.

s an undergraduate at SSU, Coturri read and wrote poetry. Back then, he would have liked nothing better than to be a poet like Gary Snyder, though he realized that he probably would not have been able to make a living writing verse. Still, his love of poetry hasn’t abandoned him and he hasn’t abandoned it. “Once a poet always a poet,” he says. “I’m a poet in the vineyard and in the greenhouse, a poet with pot and with Pinot.” Now, at the end of our conversation, he’s off to San Francisco with his wife to watch the new four-hour documentary about the Grateful Dead, Long Strange Trip. Coturri’s journey is clearly not over yet. Jonah Raskin is the author of ‘Marijuanaland: Dispatches from an American War.’

experiment with pot.) He grew his first crop on Sonoma Mountain in 1978. All four of the pot plants in his tiny garden were stolen. Still, he wasn’t discouraged, in part because the California artist and longtime bohemian, Robert Pearson McChesney, showed him the marijuana that he grew in a greenhouse on Sonoma Mountain for his own personal use and the use of his friends. McChesney was in his mid60s; Coturri was in his 20s. “I was impressed,” he says. “McChesney built his own house with his own hands, and he cultivated his own weed. Now I’m worried that the cultural descendants of McChesney will have a hard time surviving in the new overly regulated world of marijuana. I want them to be protected. I also want the heritage strains to be protected.”

GRAPHIC CONTENT Curt Barnickel envisions Agent Ink gallery as a showcase of screen-print art

and an educational center for the technique with artists making art onsite.

Screen Scene

Agent Ink’s your one-stop shop for rock-art posters, records—and onesies BY KATE HOOVER

urt Barnickel started collecting Shepard Fairey screen-print posters about 10 years ago. Fairey is best know for his “Obey” images and Obama “Hope” posters. Since then, he has expanded his collection from screen printing to concert posters, records and apparel printing and stickers—

enough to fill up a gallery, Agent Ink, on Fifth Street in Santa Rosa. After owning and operating a marketing company in downtown Santa Rosa for four years, Barnickel decided that the end of his building’s lease was a sign to finally pursue his dream of running a screen-print gallery. “It’s really been a passion of mine to open up a gallery that’s a little bit different than what most people are used to,” Barnickel says. “I feature screen prints, so

that’s a little different from what Santa Rosa is used to. I think of myself as more of a HaightAshbury slash Berkeley type of gallery than a fine-art gallery.” Agent Ink features everything from screen-printed apparel, records, skateboard decks, rockart posters and enamel stickers to collectible vinyl dolls. “I wanted to hit every demographic, so we also have onesies,” says Barnickel. “We’re trying to get the families in here.

“The screen-printing thing,” he continues, “is a big focus. All the apparel is screen-printed as well. Everything is screen-printed, even the covers for the records we sell are screen-printed by local artists.” After a soft opening in March, Agent Ink officially opened its doors on May 13. “Our grand opening was very successful,” Barnickel says. “We probably had around 150 or 200 people in here that night, which was way more than I ever could’ve imagined.” Barnickel says the gallery sees increased foot traffic due to the new Old Courthouse Square and Wednesday Night Market–goers. “I really like downtown Santa Rosa,” he says. “I wouldn’t open a gallery anywhere else.” Barnickel says downtown Santa Rosa is perfect for his gallery. “I think my art is more for 25-to45-year-old-type people,” he says. “I think Montgomery Village is a little old; Railroad Square has too many high-end galleries. I’m not really a high-end gallery. What I go for is art for everybody. ‘Art for everyone’ is one of my taglines. You can come in here with $15 and buy something, or you can come in here with $1,000 and buy something.” Barnickel’s favorite part about Agent Ink is that it allows him to show the community a glimpse into the history of screen-printing. “It’s not only a gallery; it’s going to be more of an educational center, where I’ll have people out here actually doing the screen print process so people can see what it takes to actually create one of these posters. “I’m just passionate about the art, and I’ve always wanted to let other people know about it.” Agent Ink Gallery, 531 Fifth St., Santa Rosa. 707.595.1372.

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

ypsy is one of those classic Broadway musicals where the songs—including “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Let Me Entertain You”—are arguably better known to the general public than the show itself is. That’s a shame, because Gypsy, by Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim, is a sensational show. Sonoma Arts Live’s production, directed with obvious love and loads of heart by Michael Ross, shows us why. Though occasionally sluggish— and musically wobbly to a maddening degree—this otherwise first-rate production features some truly sensational, must-

see performances, if only the orchestra, under musical director John Partridge, were as strong and energetic as the cast. With better musical support, this could (and should) have been one of the best shows of 2017. Even so, it frequently comes close. A huge hit when it debuted on Broadway in 1959, Gypsy is based on the memoir of Gypsy Rose Lee, a 1930s striptease pioneer. An homage to the golden age of Burlesque—and partly a psychological analysis of Lee’s obsessive, compulsively selfdefeating mother, Rose—Gypsy, as storytelling, is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Over the course of several years, Mama Rose (a magnificent Daniela Innocenti Beem) drags her daughters Louise (first Sofia Carlson, then Danielle DeBow) and June (Tuolumne Bunter, Amanda Pedersen) from one Vaudeville theater to another, in hopes of turning the singing-anddancing June into a star. Louise, meanwhile, is left in the shadows. Beem is brilliant, playing Mama Rose with ferocious energy, her beautiful belter’s voice and highvoltage charm convincing us she could make anyone believe that her own dreams of stardom are their dreams too. She’s not the only star in the show, however. As Herbie, Rose’s patient paramour and agent, Tim Setzer is outstanding. He gives Herbie a sense of goodness and devotion that make his eventual moment of realization all the more shattering. And DeBow, as the teenage Louise—eventually forced into working as a stripper to pay the bills—is also wonderful. Her big transformation scene, as we watch Louise become the hardened Gypsy Rose Lee through a quick series of confidence-raising, risk-taking performances, is sad, complex, unexpected and absolutely thrilling. Rating (out of 5): ‘Gypsy’ runs through July 30 at Andrews Hall, 276 E. Napa St., Sonoma. Thursday–Saturday, 7:30pm; Sunday, 2pm. $22–$37. 866.710.8942.

BAND OF BROTHERS Director Christopher Nolan tells the harrowing story of

the Battle of Dunkirk from three points of view.

Terminal Beach

‘Dunkirk’ delivers the war-torn goods BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

hink of the different battlefronts in World War II. Now choose the one you are the gladdest that you missed. The Golden Staircase in New Guinea? Saipan? The London Blitz? That great engineer of cagerattling cinema, Christopher Nolan, convinces you that Dunkirk ought to be way up on the list.

On the cusp of May and June 1940, some 400,000 troops of the British Expeditionary Force were pushed to the sea at the resort town of Dunkirk by the sudden collapse of the French army. A character describes the soldiers, lined up and waiting to be ferried back home, as “fish in a barrel.” It’s more like machine-gunning a sardine can. Strafing planes and dive bombers decimated the crowd waiting for rescue. Nolan divides the film into a triptych: one hour with patrolling Spitfire pilot Farrier (Tom Hardy); one day with Mr. Dawson (Mark Rylance), captain of the pleasure boat The Moonstone, one ship in the motley armada requisitioned by the Royal Navy; and one week with some nigh-mute soldiers who have an unspoken compact to escape together. In different combos, these soldiers pose as medics, surviving one shipwreck after another. Part of the ordeal is hiding in a ship, waiting for the tide to rise, with bullets busting through the bulkheads—it’s as much of a wringer as the scenes in Das Boot when the water pressure blows out rivets like .45 slugs. Dunkirk is an ordeal in which every facet is stomach-turning with tension. Nolan’s film misses the grim humor in Len Deighton’s histories of the war, or some other indication of how the Dunkirk Miracle proves the importance of being lucky over being smart. Winston Churchill propagandized a humiliating retreat as a brave regrouping, in one of his noblest speeches—his words are read aloud haltingly from a newspaper at the end of the movie. The film’s final shot is of a survivor’s look of wonder, realizing the size of the feat. One could just as easily have finished with a caption: “And then the war began in earnest.” ‘Dunkirk’ is playing in wide release in the North Bay.

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

hen he was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2013, JD Souther was called a “principal architect of the Southern California sound and a major influence on a generation of songwriters.” Souther’s output has largely resided in the country and rock genres, but he’s showing off a wide array of styles on his most recent albums, including 2015’s Tenderness. Souther appears at the Mystic Theatre on July 29 in a solo performance. Souther got his start playing country-rock tunes at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, though he grew up in a house filled with opera and jazz.

“My father’s mother was an opera singer, and she played me all the great composers,” says Souther from his home outside of Nashville. “And my dad was a big-band singer, so I heard a lot of Sinatra, Sinatra, Sinatra and Sinatra.” Growing up playing drums and tenor sax player, Souther discovered country music as a teen, and picked up guitar after moving to Los Angeles from Amarillo, Texas, in the late ’60s. There, he shared open mics with Jackson Browne and roomed with Glenn Frey when Frey and Don Henley started up a band called the Eagles. “I got fascinated with country music,” he says. “Then I met Linda Ronstadt, who knew everything about country music. It made a deep impression on me how genuine and how heartfelt the music was, and how it depended more on story and sincerity than technique, though that is involved.” Throughout the 1970s, Souther co-wrote a number of Eagles’ hits, including “Best of My Love” and “New Kid in Town,” and wrote songs for Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt. He also released several acclaimed solo records that in turn featured Frey, Henley, Ronstadt and others. These days, Souther’s country styling has become intertwined with a new palette of sounds, starting with 2008’s album If the World Was You, recorded live with a jazz sextet, and 2015’s Tenderness, which includes stunning string arrangements and jazz piano courtesy of famed performer Billy Childs. Souther also recently released newly expanded editions of three of his older solo albums: his 1972 debut John David Souther, 1976’s Black Rose and 1984’s Home by Dawn. Souther’s current solo tour will offer fans the most intimate offering yet of his biggest hits, his current repertoire and his favorite stories from the last 40-plus years. “I’ll play a little of everything,” he says. “But it’s going to be a different kind of show.” JD Souther performs on Saturday, July 29, at the Mystic Theatre, 23 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 7:30pm. $32. 707.775.6048.

Wine & Weed

First-ever event heralds new era BY STETT HOLBROOK

his past December, when the Wine Industry Network (WIN) held its annual tradeshow, the marketing and media company scheduled a one-hour session on cannabis legalization and its impact on the wine industry. “It was packed,” says George Christie, WIN president. “It was the busiest workshop we’ve ever put on by far in five years.”

Following that experience, Christie struck upon the idea of an all-day event dedicated to the subject. Thus the Weed & Wine Symposium was born. The event is Aug. 3 at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek in Santa Rosa. Tickets sold out long ago. “There are just so many more questions then there are answers,” says Christie (pictured) “I think that’s what’s really the impetus behind why it’s so popular.” Here are my questions for Christie. How did you design the format for the symposium? The curriculum is geared for

Has WIN taken an official position on cannabis? It’s too early [to take a position], but I will say that I believe strongly that if you’ve got an emergent industry like cannabis and you are going to be sharing the neighborhood with them, then it is in your best interest to know them as best you can and really understand their industry to the best of your ability. To do otherwise is just naïve and bad business. What’s the basis of wine-industry opposition to cannabis? It’s across the board depending on whom you’re talking to. [It ranges from] competing for labor, water, warehouse and commercial space and land, to the morality piece. There’s definitely still a stigma attached to who some people think the cannabis-industry people are. But I think it’s really rooted in basic human nature and fear of the unknown. What do you think the landscape will look like in five years? I think five years from now you’re going to see a lot of collaboration between these two industries. You’re going to see wine and weed events. I think you’re going to see, if not partnerships, then definitely strategic alliances. I think it would be naïve to believe that there aren’t going to be grape farmers out there who are going to dip their toe into the cannabis waters. If the realities kick in and they are able to make two, three, five or 10 times the amount of money per acre than they are able to make with grapes, I think you are going to see some growers diversify. I do not think were going to drive down Dry Creek Road and the vineyards are going to disappear. That’s definitely not happening. But are we going to see little pockets of commercial grows? I think so.

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Are you feeling as daring about romance as I suspect? If so, I’ve composed a provocative note for you to give to anyone you have good reason to believe will be glad to receive it. Feel free to copy it word-for-word or edit it to suit your needs. Here it is: “I want to be your open-hearted explorer. Want to be mine? We can be in foolishly cool drooling devotion to each other’s mighty love power. We can be in elegant solid-gold allegiance to each other’s genius. Wouldn’t it be fun to see how much liberation we can whip up together? We can play off our mutual respect as we banish the fearful schticks in our bags of tricks. We can inspire each other to reach unexpected heights of brazen intelligence.” TAURUS (April 20–May 20) You still have

a wound that never formed a proper scar. (We’re speaking metaphorically here.) It’s chronically irritated. Never quite right. Always stealing bits of your attention. Would you like to do something to reduce the distracting power of that annoying affliction? The next 25 days will be a favorable time to seek such a miracle. All the forces of nature and spirit will conspire in your behalf if you formulate a clear intention to get the healing you need and deserve.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20)

In his poem “The Initiate,” Charles Simic speaks of “someone who solved life’s riddles in a voice of an ancient Sumerian queen. ” I hope you’re not focused on seeking help and revelations from noble and grandiose sources like that, Gemini. If you are, you may miss the useful cues and clues that come your way via more modest informants. So please be alert for the blessings of the ordinary. As you work on solving your quandaries, give special attention to serendipitous interventions and accidental luck.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) For many years, the Tobe Zoological Park in China housed a “praying panther” named Ato. The large black feline periodically rose up on her hind legs and put her paws together as if petitioning a higher power for blessings. I suggest we make her your spirit ally in the coming weeks. I hope she’ll inspire you to get your restless mind out of the way as you seek to quench your primal needs. With the praying panther as your muse, you should be able to summon previously untapped reserves of your animal intelligence and cultivate an instinctual knack for knowing where to find raw, pristine satisfaction. LEO (July 23–August 22)

Do you really have to be the flashy king or charismatic queen of all you survey? Must all your subjects put on kneepads and prostrate themselves as they bask in your glory? Isn’t it enough for you to simply be the master of your own emotions, and the boss of your own time and the lord of your own destiny? I’m not trying to stifle your ambition or cramp your enthusiasm; I just want to make sure you don’t dilute your willpower by trying to wield command over too wide a swath. The most important task, after all, is to manage your own life with panache and ingenuity. But I will concede this: The coming weeks will be a time when you can also probably get away with being extra worshiped and adored.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Dear Hard Worker: Our records indicate that you have been neglecting to allot yourself sufficient time to rest and recharge. In case you had forgotten, you are expected to take regular extended breaks, during which time it is mandatory to treat yourself with meticulous care and extreme tenderness. Please grant yourself an immediate dispensation. Expose yourself to intensely relaxing encounters with play, fun and pleasure—or else! No excuses will be accepted. LIBRA (September 23–October 22) If extraterrestrial beings land their spaceship on my street and say they want to meet the creatures who best represent our planet, I will volunteer you Libras. Right now, at least, you’re nobler than the rest of us, and more sparkly, too. You’re dealing smartly with your personal share of the world’s suffering, and your day-to-day decisions are based more on love than fear. You’re not taking things too personally or too seriously, and you seem better equipped than everyone else to

BY ROB BREZSNY

laugh at the craziness that surrounds us. And even if aliens don’t appear, I bet you will serve as an inspiring influence for more human beings than you realize. Does being a role model sound boring? I hope not. If you regard it as an interesting gift, it will empower you to wield more clout than you’re used to.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

During the four years he worked on painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo never took a bath. Was he too preoccupied with his masterpiece? Modern artist Pae White has a different relationship with obsession. To create her fabric art pieces, she has spent years collecting more than 3,500 scarves designed by her favorite scarf-maker. Then there’s filmmaker James Cameron, who hired an expert in linguistics to create an entire new language from scratch for the aliens in his movie Avatar. In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I approve of you summoning this level of devotion—as long as it’s not in service to a transitory desire, but rather to a labor of love that has the potential to change your life for the better for a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

“The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers,” wrote author James Baldwin. Even if you’re not an artist, I encourage you to make that your purpose in the coming weeks. Definitive answers will at best be irrelevant and at worst useless. Vigorous doubt and inquiry, on the other hand, will be exciting and invigorating. They will mobilize you to rebel against any status quos that have been tempting you to settle for mediocrity.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) You’re in a phase of your cycle when the most useful prophecies are more lyrical than logical. So here you go: three enigmatic predictions to help stir up the creative ingenuity you’ll need to excel on your upcoming tests. 1. A darling but stale old hope must shrivel and wane so that a spiky, electric new hope can be born. 2. An openness to the potential value of a metaphorical death will be one of your sweetest assets. 3. The best way to cross a border is not to sneak across bearing secrets but to stride across in full glory with nothing to hide. AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Aquarian novelist James Joyce had a pessimistic view about intimate connection. Here’s what he said: “Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another’s soul.” My challenge to you, Aquarius—in accordance with the astrological omens—is to prove Joyce wrong. Figure out how to make your soul virgin again so it can cast itself out into the ocean of another’s soul. The next eight weeks will be prime time to achieve that glorious feat. PISCES (February 19–March 20) Years after

he had begun his work as a poet, Rainer Maria Rilke confessed that he was still finding out what it took to do his job. “I am learning to see,” he wrote. “I don’t know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to.” Given the current astrological omens, you have a similar opportunity, Pisces: to learn more about how to see. It won’t happen like magic. You can’t just sit back passively and wait for the universe to accomplish it for you. But if you decide you really would like to be more perceptive—if you resolve to receive and register more of the raw life data that’s flowing towards you— you will expand and deepen your ability to see.
