Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN
Pull the Pin Although I had never heard of Norman Solomon, his take on the Democratic Party (Open Mic, Dec. 5) was enough for me to write my yearly letter to the Bohemian. So here’s the thing: Hillary won’t run, but what will it matter? Because with Pelosi riding herd over the likes of Schumer and (let’s not forget) Feinstein as mainstays within her posse, nothing will change. Simply put, they, like both Clintons and Barack Obama, are nothing more than liars who, like most, if not all politicians,
have mastered the art of doublespeak, and the only real difference between them and Trump is Trump sticks it right in your face, while they and the Democratic Party continue to do the things the oldfashioned way: behind closed doors. Bernie Sanders might have won. Could have beaten Trump, but we'll never know because in some backroom it had been decided Hillary was it, so at the last minute, it was business as usual and “for the good of the party”—Bernie sold out. Death by a heart attack or death by cancer, take your pick, but until we are willing to pull the linchpin over how much money can be spent running for office—
THIS MODERN WORLD
until third parties are placed on the ballots in all 50 states—things will never change. Come on, people—it doesn't take someone as radical in thought as me to shake things up. Pull the previously mentioned pin and roll the dice. Start by making it easier to run for office.

humanity’s evolution. Clearly, I made some mistakes, because I was not expecting evolution to move in the manner in which it did. I am disappointed, but hopeful.

Racism! This innocuous and informational article (“The Rent Kept a-Rollin’,” Dec. 5) was rolling around fine until about threefourths of the way through, when the author felt it necessary to promote racism. Why is it OK to denigrate an entire class of people if they are “white”? [“Santa Rosa’s Press Democrat has already been reporting that one of SMART’s most significant challenges is that it appeals mainly to the ‘white and well-off.’”] Racism is racism, and this is a clear case. Either stop classifying people by their race or let every racial slur stand. But inserting it into an article, and propagating the disrespect of the Press Democrat, is BS!

Remember our own heritage when we think of the border BY E. G. SINGER
J
akelin Caal Maquin, a seven-year-old Guatemalan girl, celebrating her birthday on the road with a caravan of migrants, and with her first pair of shoes, was on her way to a better life. She is dead. Not by a physical assault or a vehicular accident. No. The official cause of death was sepsis shock, a result most likely from poor nutrition or an infection of some sort—yet another victim of the global diaspora occurring daily, when people are forced to leave their countries of origin, due to the repressive and ineffectual policies of those governments and rampant domestic lawlessness under which they live. So desperate to escape war, political oppression and poverty, they depart with just the bare essentials, but with much hope and faith, to find a more compassionate land to live in—and to escape those intolerable conditions. And those conditions are only further exacerbated by the failure of the global “community” to address adequately the ongoing environmental degradation of natural resources and lands, and the continuing impact of technology in disrupting those peoples’ lives. Without a radical reevaluation of what needs to be done to alleviate human misery, we will continue to see a further exodus of people fleeing for their safety and security. This child’s death may seem extraordinary. It is not. In fact, it has become the norm. The media happened to be following this migratory event and the timing was synchronistic—the story got told. Those elected officials, so quick to cast aside this current group of people south of our border, should look to their own heritage and realize that perhaps two or three generations ago, they, too, came from immigrant stock. Perhaps, Mr. Trump should lead an excursion with those elected officials, to that small island in New York Harbor, where Lady Liberty resides and read Emma Lazarus’ inscription: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. . . .” E. G. Singer lives in Santa Rosa. Open Mic is a weekly feature in the ‘Bohemian.’ We welcome your contribution. To have your topical essay of 350 words considered for publication, write openmic@bohemian.com.

FUNNY THING ABOUT TIME What we drank—plus, a revealing look into our highly advanced archival system!
Sparkly Decade All you need for a bubbly trip through the years BY JAMES KNIGHT
W
hen the new year lurches closer every day with, so to speak, calendar-like regularity, Bohemian staffers assemble for a rigorous evaluation of blind-tasted sparkling wines. The rigor is all mine—wrangling bottles and keeping flutes filled while trying to take my own tasting notes amid increasingly merry company.
This year, it’s all about the vintage. Producers of méthode champenoise sparkling wine often reserve the best lots for a bottling that’s labeled with that vintage date. Compare to nonvintage blends, which are aimed at consistency—think Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut. You can’t go wrong with that wine, as it’s about reliability, not the vagaries of a particular vintage. It’s a nice way to recall years past while toasting the new. As
we process 2016, and deal with 2017, the wines from these years will also mellow. Someday, we may even make it past 2020 and toast with a sparkling wine of that vintage and say, “It was a very good year.” Iron Horse 2005 Joy! Green Valley of Russian River Valley Sparkling Wine ($275) Funny thing about time: one day you run into an acquaintance you’d always thought of as somewhat older than yourself, and at some point, after you’ve eclipsed
the age they were when you first met them—if you’re following me—all of a sudden you notice how youthful they look for their age—radiant, even. That’s what this wine is like. Going on a decade and a half is long in the tooth for many a white wine, but this vibrant, green-tinted sparkler will please fresh fruit fans and old yeasty fans alike with hints of orange blossom honey, pecan and marzipan, and while it’s still got enough scoury energy to clean every corner of the palate, Bohos found it smooth and balanced. Bottled in magnums only. HHHHH Schramsberg 2009 J. Schram North Coast Sparkling Wine ($120) Sporting sourdough-bread and bear-claw-frosting aromas, this tête de cuvée tingles the tongue with a sweet note of golden raisin. Toast to your health—the Affordable Care Act passed in 2009. HHH Iron Horse 2010 Brut LD ($110) This late-disgorged brut barrels across the palate, with a scant half percent of residual sugar to slow it down. Yet it’s complex and balanced, evoking mushrooms in cream, bourbon vanilla and maybe even horse barn, in a good way. Partygoers will wake up and take notice of this beauty. In 2010, a bunch of Americans woke up to the fact they had to pay taxes. HHHHH Mumm Napa 2011 DVX Napa Valley Sparkling Wine ($70) The DVX got its certificate of live birth in a cool year that was better suited to sparkling styles than sun-loving Napa Cabernet. Light and limpid, this got mixed Boho reviews from “pucker-worthy” to “creamy” or “musty.” HHHH Breathless 2012 Sonoma County Brut ($54) Join the wine club and pick up the very first vintage-dated bubbly from the Breathless team. Lemony lees, grapefruit rind and starfruit are some of our favorite things about this zippy brut from 2012, when wineries recorded a big grape crush, and Mitt Romney had binders full of women. HHH Korbel 2014 Le Premier Russian River Valley Champagne ($30) Some say hay, others say

pine nut—this light gold wine also makes me think of buttered croissant, artichoke leaf, rosemary and the resinous Korbel Natural. The North Bay’s SMART train was originally scheduled to begin service in 2014—sorry, did you just snort sparkling wine out your nose? HHH Iron Horse 2014 Wedding Cuvée ($45) With a peachy, light tea rose color to the eye, and sea shells and strawberries in cream meeting the lips, this iconic West County sparkler wins friends fast. Does it finish on the sweet, or tangy, side? Love it either way. Celebs Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tied the knot in 2014— commemorate their separation when the 2016 arrives. HHHH Schramsberg 2014 Blanc de Noirs North Coast Brut ($43) Light yellow with tiny bubbles and tangy, yellow pear fruit, this better reveals a rich hint of butter cookie in a tulip-shaped wine glass— though it doesn’t have the same clinkety-clink appeal as a flute. Readers may recall the Bohemian’s in-depth coverage of the mustard question in January 2014. HHH DeLoach 2015 Le Royal Blanc de Noir Green Valley of Russian River Valley ($75) Like Napoleon, this spunky sparkler crowns itself— it wears a shiny crown ornament instead of a common paper label, as it should, coming from one of those vineyards that might be called Russian River royalty. Lean and tangy, full of fancy: is that salty spray from a sea of lemonade? Toasted lemon blossom and raisined grapefruits? HHHH Korbel 2015 Blanc de Noirs Sonoma County Champagne ($30) The multi-year drought continued to dwindle the North Coast grape crush in 2015, but this assertive, salmon-pink bubbly is so modestly priced, for a reserve wine of just 1,000 cases made, you can easily irrigate a small crowd— but you have go to the tasting room or website to find it. Crème fraîche and nectarine notes pleased the Boho crowd, anyway. What’s that, the drought is back? Drink up! HHHH

Picture Sonoma County
L
ongtime Bohemian and Pacific Sun contributor for 20 years, Rory McNamara has for the last 15 of those years been running the photography program at Cardinal Newman High School in Santa Rosa. The program provides a traditional photography experience replete with film processing and darkroom printing, as well as instruction in the use of modern digital cameras and editing software.
This holiday season, the Bohemian features work from this year from two Cardinal Newman students, Katerina Rahhal and Dyllan Knechtle. Their work can also be seen, alongside that of many other students, in the online arts and literary magazine, School Times, that Rory publishes for the school, at newmanschooltimes.org.—the Editors Joyful screams tear through the air at the Sonoma County Fair. Smells waft from food stands as people hurriedly pass through the crowd, mumbling a “Sorry” or “Excuse me” every now and then. Those boarding the rides show a variety of emotions. Some shake nervously; others throw their hands up in excitement. The day radiates happiness!
Katerina Rahhal The morning was young and the streets were still sleeping before becoming alive. A handful of cars swept across the city, most likely sending people off to work or school. I had been on my way to school and was in need of my daily Snapchat streaks picture. My phone camera was positioned at the window as I waited to capture a decent picture. Sometimes, it requires patience; others take mere seconds. A pregnant moment had passed before I had caught this one. Satisfied, I sent it off.
Cheers erupt from the student section as the Cardinal Newman football team scurries across the field. Although the evening has taken on a cold bite, fans refuse to dim their enthusiasm. Energy circulates through the bleachers—the community has come together once again, creating a beautiful presence and sense of family.

September 2018: Workers move fast to get all grapes off the vines, and almost play leapfrog as they run in front of each other to get to the next vine. You can feel the gentle breeze in the hot air and see the dust from their feet as the run through the row. This is tough work for highly skilled men—without them, there is no harvest.
A fieldworker cuts excess leaves off the grapes. After sorting and spreading some of the best grapes grown in Sonoma County, the workers park the tractors and trucks for the night. The nights grow colder as the year moves toward the end of the season.

FACE 2 FACE ending HIV in Sonoma County
It’s getting close to the end of the harvest. This is the most hectic time of the year for farmers. The tractors race around as if they were doing laps at the track; there is a hustle to get the full bins unloaded. You can smell the diesel and dust in the air; you can hear feet stomping the ground as workers run to dump their trays in the bin. Jose Sanches counts the trays as they’re brought to the tractor. Minutes later, he hops onto the seat and drives the bins to the truck.

Merry Band
Since forming in Oakland over a decade ago, Howlin’ Rain has embodied a classic rock aesthetic of swampy riffs, psych jams and scorching solos that has made them a staple in the Bay Area scene. The band’s latest release, 2018’s The Alligator Bride, brings all of these elements together for a straight-totape epic that treads the line between nostalgia for America’s past and unapologetic ruminations on today’s turbulent times. Howlin’ Rain rock out to close out 2018 with a concert featuring equally unflinching rockers Whiskerman opening on Saturday, Dec. 29, at Mystic Theatre & Music Hall, 23 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 8:30pm. $15. 707.775.6048.

llow us to be the first to say goodbye to 2018. With old acquaintances—both forgotten and remembered— we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet, and we’ll start with these New Year’s Eve parties around the North Bay. From delectable dinners to cabaret shows and blowout concerts, here’s a selection of ways to ring in 2019.
SONOMA COUNTY
Charles M. Schulz Museum Kids and families are invited to join master of ceremonies Snoopy and the gang at the Charles M. Schulz Museum for an afternoon of crafts and games, with a big balloon drop and root beer toasts at noon and 3pm. Hey, it’s New Year’s somewhere. 2301 Hardies Lane, Santa Rosa. 10am to 4pm. $5–$12. 707.579.4452.
The North Bay Cabaret never fails to raise a few eyebrows, and master of ceremonies Jake Ward is pulling out all the stops for this fourth annual New Year’s Eve spectacular. The lineup for the night includes fire dancers, burlesque performers, magicians, storyteller Jamie DeWolf from NPR’s Snap Judgment, comedian Oliver Gray and vaginal stunt artist Max Madame. If that combination of eclectic performances somehow still leaves you unconvinced, the masquerade additionally features two full bars, dinner and bites, a photo booth and a Champagne toast at midnight. Whiskey Tip, 1910 Sebastopol Road, Santa Rosa. 7pm. $25–$30; 21 and over. northbaycabaret.com.
Barndiva Santa Rosa Central Library Get the New Year’s Eve celebrations rolling early at Santa Rosa’s Central Library on Saturday, Dec. 29.

The Healdsburg culinary destination once again offers an evening of elegant dining in a festive and fun atmosphere. In the restaurant, a six-course meal of classic favorites serves up Crab Louie and duck confit rigatoni with special wine pairings available. In the relaxed bistro setting, funk and soul music performed by Tory and the Teasers will help you get your groove on as you work off the calories with a dance or two. Reservations are recommended. 231 Center St., Healdsburg. $155 and up. 707.431.0100.
Sky Hill Cultural Alliance and the Petaluma Museum Association present their 10th annual New Year’s Eve gala concert full of classical flair and marvelous entertainment from members of the San Francisco Symphony. Enjoy complimentary wine and cheeses while your ears are serenaded by the Bay Area’s finest musicians for a truly snazzy night.

and a bevy of video projectors relay the life of Cole Porter in ‘Love, Linda.’
Music & Lyrics Cole Porter’s wit and wife get mixed up in Cinnabar show BY HARRY DUKE
F
or years, Petaluma’s Cinnabar Theater has closed out the year with a musical cabaret show. Past years’ productions have celebrated the work of musical artists from Edith Piaf to Mahalia Jackson to Frank Sinatra. This year, the work of classic American tunesmith Cole Porter takes center stage via Love, Linda, a look at Porter through the eyes of his wife, Linda Lee. Veteran cabaret performer Maureen McVerry plays Mrs. Cole Porter and, yes, there was a Mrs. Cole Porter. More than a marriage of convenience, the Porters had a genuine affection for each other, despite Porter leading an active homosexual life. Notwithstanding the challenges that presented to
the relationship, they remained married until Lee’s death in 1954. The show is set in the Porter’s elegant Paris apartment where Linda reminisces about her life before Porter, how they met, their life together in Paris, their adventures in Hollywood and their settling in an apartment at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. Interspersed between the memories are, of course, the songs. Tales of their time in Paris are matched with “I Love Paris,” their time in Hollywood with “Night and Day” (also the title of the highly fictionalized film biography where the diminutive Porter was portrayed by the 6-foot-4 Cary Grant), and her complex relationship with Porter through “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” and “Wunderbar.” McVerry’s vocals are accompanied by a terrific onstage three-piece combo of piano (Chris Alexander for the opening performance, musical director Cesar Cancino for the rest of the run), bass (Steven Hoffman) and drums (John Shebalin). McVerry does not possess a particularly rich voice, which led the musical accompaniment to regularly overwhelm her vocals. We hear Porter’s beautiful compositions, but his often amusing, often passionate lyrics are frequently lost. Cinnabar should really consider miking their musicals. Director Clark Sterling keeps things moving at a brisk pace and brings the show in at 85 minutes, including an intermission. Scenic designer Wayne Hovey brings an expansive apartment feel to the Cinnabar space, though I wish the projections used throughout the show had been worked more into the set rather than displayed over it. Love, Linda is an affectionate look back at one of America’s greatest musical talents. My affection for it might be amplified if the vocals were. Rating (out of 5): HH ‘Love, Linda’ runs through Jan. 13 at Cinnabar Theater, 3333 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. Friday–Saturday, 8pm; Sunday, 2pm; New Year’s Eve, 9pm. $25–$75. 707.763.8920. cinnabartheater.org.

For the week of December 26
ARIES (March 21–April 19) I suspect that in 2019 you’ll be able to blend a knack for creating more stability with an urge to explore and seek greater freedom. How might this unusual confluence be expressed in practical ways? Maybe you’ll travel to reconnect with your ancestral roots. Or perhaps a faraway ally or influence will help you feel more at home in the world. It’s possible you’ll establish a stronger foundation, which will in turn bolster your courage and inspire you to break free of a limitation. What do you think? TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

On the average, a total eclipse of the sun happens every 18 months. And how often is a total solar eclipse visible from a specific location on the planet? Typically, once every 375 years. In 2019, the magic moment will occur on July 2 for people living in Chile and Argentina. But I believe that throughout the coming year, Tauruses all over the world will experience other kinds of rare and wonderful events at a higher rate than usual. Not eclipses, but rather divine interventions, mysterious miracles, catalytic epiphanies, unexpected breakthroughs and amazing graces. Expect more of the marvelous than you’re accustomed to.
GEMINI (May 21–June 20) “The world’s full of people who have stopped listening to themselves,” wrote mythologist Joseph Campbell. It’s imperative that you not be one of those folks. Twenty nineteen should be the Year of Listening Deeply to Yourself. That means being on high alert for your inner inklings, your unconscious longings and the still, small voice at the heart of your destiny. If you do that, you’ll discover I’m right when I say that you’re smarter than you realize.

or helpers from whom you could draw continuous counsel? Seek them out.
SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) The body
of the violin has two f-shaped holes on either side of the strings. They enable the sound that resonates inside the instrument to be projected outwardly. A thousand years ago, the earliest ancestor of the modern violin had round holes. Later they became half-moons, then c-shaped, and finally evolved into the f-shape. Why the change? Scientific analysis reveals that the modern form allows more air to be pushed out from inside the instrument, thereby producing a more powerful sound. My analysis of your life in 2019 suggests it will be a time to make an upgrade from your metaphorical equivalent of the c-shaped holes to the f-shaped holes. A small shift like that will enable you to generate more power and resonance.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) Sagittarian singer-songwriter Sia has achieved great success, garnering nine Grammy nominations and amassing a $20 million fortune. Among the superstars for whom she has composed hit tunes are Beyoncé, Rihanna and Flo Rida. But she has also had failures. Top recording artists like Adele and Shakira have commissioned her to write songs for them only to subsequently turn down what she created. In 2016, Sia got sweet revenge. She released an album in which she herself sang many of those rejected songs. It has sold more than 2 million copies. Do you, too, know what it’s like to have your gifts and skills ignored or unused or rebuffed, Sagittarius? If so, the coming months will be an excellent time to express them for your own benefit, as Sia did.
CANCER (June 21–July 22) Jackson Pollock is regarded as a pioneer in the technique of drip painting, which involves drizzling and splashing paint on canvases that lie on the floor. It made him famous. But the truth is, Pollock got inspired to pursue what became known as his signature style only after he saw an exhibit by the artist Janet Sobel, who was the real pioneer. I bring this to your attention, because I see 2019 as a year when the Janet Sobel–like aspects of your life will get their due. Overdue appreciation will arrive. Credit you have deserved but haven’t fully garnered will finally come your way. You’ll be acknowledged and recognized in surprising ways.
CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19)
LEO (July 23–August 22) As the crow flies, Wyoming is almost a thousand miles from the Pacific Ocean and more than a thousand miles from the Gulf of Mexico, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean. Now here’s a surprise: in the northwest corner of Wyoming, the North Two Ocean Creek divides into two tributaries, one of which ultimately flows to the Pacific and one that reaches the Gulf. So an enterprising fish could conceivably swim from one ocean to the other via this waterway. I propose that we make North Two Ocean Creek your official metaphor for 2019. It will symbolize the turning point you’ll be at in your life; it will remind you that you’ll have the power to launch an epic journey in one of two directions.
AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) A hundred years ago, most astronomers thought there was just one galaxy in the universe: our Milky Way. Other models for the structure of the universe were virtually heretical. But in the 1920s, astronomer Edwin Hubble produced research that proved the existence of many more galaxies. Today, the estimate is that there are at least 400 billion. I wonder what currently unimaginable possibilities will be obvious to our ancestors a hundred years from now. Likewise, I wonder what currently unforeseen truths will be fully available to you by the end of 2019. My guess: more than in any other previous year of your life.
A typical fluffy white cumulus cloud weighs 216,000 pounds. A dark cumulonimbus storm cloud is 106 million pounds, almost 490 times heavier. Why? Because it’s filled with far more water than the white cloud. So which is better, the fluffy cumulus or the stormy cumulonimbus? Neither, of course. We might sometimes prefer the former over the latter because it doesn’t darken the sky as much or cause the inconvenience of rain. But the truth is, the cumulonimbus is a blessing, a substantial source of moisture, a gift to growing things. I mention this because I suspect that for you, 2019 will have more metaphorical resemblances to the cumulonimbus than the cumulus.
PISCES (February 19–March 20)
VIRGO (August 23–September 22) I have come to the conclusion that softening your relationship with perfectionism will be a key assignment in 2019. With this in mind, I offer you observations from wise people who have studied the subject. (1) “The perfect is the enemy of the good.”—Voltaire (2) “Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible.”—Rebecca Solnit (3) Perfectionism is “the high-end version of fear.” —Elizabeth Gilbert (4) “Nothing is less efficient than perfectionism.”—Elizabeth Gilbert (5) “It’s better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else’s perfectly.”—Elizabeth Gilbert
Author Elizabeth Gilbert offers advice for those who long for a closer relationship with the Supreme Being: “Look for God like a man with his head on fire looks for water.” I’ll expand that approach so it applies to you when you’re in quest of any crucial life-enhancing experience. If you genuinely believe that a particular adventure or relationship or transformation is key to your central purpose, it’s not enough to be mildly enthusiastic about it. You really do need to seek your heart’s desire in the way people with their heads on fire look for water. Twenty nineteen will be prime time for you to embody this understanding.
LIBRA (September 23–October 22) In 1682, Peter Alexeyevich became co-Tsar of Russia. He was 10 years old. His 24-year-old half-sister Sophia had a hole cut in the back of his side of the dual throne. That way she could sit behind him, out of sight and whisper guidance as he discussed political matters with allies. I’d love it if you could wangle a comparable arrangement for yourself in 2019.
