Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Thanks, Milkman I was delighted to see your article about Straus Creamery in your latest issue of Bohemian (“Cream Dreams,” Aug. 29). I love to bike the backroads of Sonoma and Marin counties, often on the same roads that milk trucks and other large farm trucks travel on. I have noticed that the drivers of the large Straus milk trucks are always courteous and patient with bikers. This is certainly not true of all drivers on these local roads. As a member of the Petaluma Wheelman bike club and Bike Petaluma, I am

grateful that Straus shows the way in sharing the road. We appreciate having them as neighbors and part of the community. I go out of my way to buy their products.

Racists Are Sick According to Psychology Today, racism and xenophobia of any kind is a symptom of psychological ill health. People with a stable sense of self

THIS MODERN WORLD

and strong inner security are not racist, because they have no need to strengthen their sense of self through group identity. Older adults, however, have a tendency to be more prejudiced than their younger counterparts. This is due to the fact that older people grew up in less egalitarian times. There is evidence that normal changes to the brain in late adulthood can lead to greater prejudice. They are more likely than younger adults to rely on stereotypes, and they have more difficulty than younger adults suppressing their stereotypical thoughts.

By Tom Tomorrow

They are also more likely to be socially insensitive in a variety of ways. All of these effects only emerge among older adults who show signs of poor frontal lobe functioning. The U.S. Census Bureau says that 85.6 percent of Marin County is white and the majority of those are 65 years and older. Hopefully that majority embraces diversity and inclusion. If not, race relations will automatically improve with the passage of time.

DENNIS KOSTECKI Sausalito

Foggy Notions For decades Sir Francis Drake researchers have lamented his failure to discover the great and all-weather harbor he’d been looking for, regardless of where he may, or may not have landed in California. Duane Van Dieman (“Drake Detective,” Aug. 15) asserts Drake’s landing was at Strawberry Cove. So how is it Drake failed to see the entire great bay directly in front of him while here? A few fickle fingers of fog days might explain the error, but not the extended stay Drake supposedly made. Further, a current map superimposed over a centuries-old drawing is interesting, but nowhere near conclusive. As for Laura Goldenerg’s decrying the word “discovery” as an insult (Letters, Aug. 22), that’s an insult to logic. A culture halfway around the world with no knowledge of inhabitants here obviously discovered new land never before known to them. Since no known inhabitants were contacted, how can this not be a discovery, much less be an offense? To whom? How? This is typical leftist PC derangement that discovers “racism” under every rock, as it undiscovers and devalues history.

Songs of Resistance Where are the great post-Trump anthems? BY STETT HOLBROOK

spent Sunday sick on the couch resting and listening to music when I came across the fantastic new album from England’s IDLES, Joy as an Act of Resistance. Blimey, it’s great stuff. IDLES are a powerful, socially conscious post-punk band who have arrived at just the right time in post-Brexit England and the rising nationalism in Europe. Frontman Joe Talbot rages, yells and growls in a gravel-toned but well articulated voice that’s made for the stage. “Danny Nedelko” is written for Talbot’s musician friend, a Ukrainian immigrant. It’s a refreshing embrace of our shared humanity and a pithy analysis of the roots of racism:

The Martin Hayes Quartet Tuesday, October 23 at 8:00pm

My blood brother is an immigrant A beautiful immigrant . . . He’s made of bones, he’s made of blood He’s made of flesh, he’s made of love He’s made of you, he’s made of me Unity! Fear leads to panic, panic leads to pain Pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate . . . Take that Nigel Farange. Take that Marine Le Pen. As I tapped my toes to the song, I got to wondering: where are the great post-Trump anthems? I say post-Trump because being antiTrump isn’t enough. What we need are songs that reject Trump and transcend the stain he’s smeared on America. Like a gangrenous limb, Trump’s supporters and the president himself are symptomatic of a greater sickness. Eminem is a vocal Trump critic, but he mainly lets loose on his Trump-loving fans. That’s not what we need. YG and Nipsey Hussle’s “FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)” is catchy and direct, but doesn’t call us to something better. Loudon Wainwright III makes a clever effort with “I Had a Dream,” but it’s lightweight. I’d like to see the great post-Trump anthem come from the North Bay, a redoubt of staunch Trump opposition and a deep musical talent pool. So how about it North Bay songwriters, who’s got the musical antidote to Trump’s poison? Give us a song to sing as we head to polls Nov. 8. And send it to the Bohemian—we’ll help spread the word.

QUILT OF CONCERN Cleve Jones has sewn together a career in HIV-AIDS and organized-labor activism.

Stitching Dignity Cleve Jones looks out for the union label— civil unions, too BY TOM GOGOLA

leve Jones is a veteran HIV-AIDS activist perhaps best known for launching the AIDS quilt project in the 1980s, but he’s also been a major player in the regional organized-labor scene through his work with UNITE HERE. Jones will give the keynote speech at an upcoming fundraiser

for North Bay Jobs with Justice on Sept. 7 at the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Rosa. Jones came into his own as an activist in 1978 over the Briggs Initiative, which would have banned gays and lesbians from teaching in California public schools. “We thought it would pass,” he recalls, “and Harvey Milk was one of the leaders of that campaign [to defeat it].” Milk, the late San Francisco

supervisor, was murdered along with Mayor George Moscone in 1978 by Dan White—who’d resigned as a San Francisco supervisor 16 days earlier. Jones recalls that there was an openly gay teacher in Sonoma County, Lawrence Berner, who taught second grade in the Healdsburg Union Elementary School and was caught up in the anti-gay fervor that came with the Briggs Initiative, sponsored by Orange

County state legislator John Briggs. “He was targeted,” recalls Jones of Berner. The Briggs Initiative failed, but not without a fight and not without a union push from Local 2 of UNITE HERE. Berner went on to sue Briggs for defamation and prevailed in a 1982 ruling. Berner died in 1995. “We were one of the first unions to embrace LGBT people,” Jones now says. “It’s kind of a ‘duh’ because so many gay people work in the hospitality industry.” Jones has been the community and political coordinator with UNITE HERE since 2005. Since then he’s watched as public-sector unions have been hammered by right-wing governors, and most recently through the Supreme Court’s union-busting Janus decision. That’s the bad news. The good news is that even in so-called right-to-work states such as Nevada, private sector unions are on the march. “Everyone is bemoaning the death of the union, but we are growing and we’re growing in the private sector,” Jones says. “UNITE HERE offers a real model for the people who want to fight the Trump regime. This union is doing that. We are black and brown and Native American and LGBT. And we’re winning.” The unionized Graton Casino in Rohnert Park, he adds, is “a good example” of how UNITE HERE has made big inroads in the gaming industry and strengthened labor’s hand at the bargaining table, at least when it comes to the private sector. “Our strongest base of support in the United States is Las Vegas,” Jones says. “The strip is union. We are the reason there is a middle class in Las Vegas and why Nevada is blue, even as Nevada has been a right-to-work state since the 1950s.” The 1950s also represented the last of a “before Stonewall” period in American gay life—a time of rampant and legally encoded homophobia. The country has come a long way since then; Vermont’s Democratic ) 10 party recently endorsed

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. Thirty 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 23 and 24!

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 September 5 through

October 3, 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 associates Dr. Rogers, Dr. Shawn Lorenzen, 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, Christine, Brenda or Erica today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you.

– Dr. Joel Taatjes

Christine Hallquist as the first transgender gubernatorial candidate in American history, even as “religious liberty” advocates have sued gay people so they don’t have to bake a cake in the service of marriage equality. Thanks to Donald Trump and his congressional enablers in both major parties—talking to you, Chuck Schumer—American federal courts are currently undergoing a fundamental rightward shift, putting at risk hard-won marriage-equality rights. Trump has also tried to ban trans people from the military, and his Justice Department has filed friend-ofthe-court papers with the Supreme Court in defense of suits that seek to make anti-gay discrimination legal again. Organized labor is also taking it on the chin under Trump and the conservative Supreme Court, which ruled earlier this year, in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31, that public sector unions can’t charge union dues to non-union members (even as those non-union workers enjoy all the benefits of collective bargaining). Can a robust union push in the private sector serve to undo the damage done to public sector employees, including teachers? “Well, our union offers some really important information for people who are concerned in light of the Janus decision,” says Jones as he highlights the UNITE HERE successes in Vegas. “When the workers understand that they own the union—you can grow and thrive even in right-to-work states,” he says. Jones says he’s spent lots of time in Sonoma County and especially along the Russian River as a youth. He got sick himself in 1992, he recalls, and received HIVAIDS treatment at Kaiser in Santa Rosa for many years. “I went up there to die, but I didn’t,” he says. “I have really wonderful memories of the people, the land and the river.” Jones has made a career of

knitting his gay-rights activism with union activism. Like many gay men of his generation, Jones watched with growing horror as his friends and fellow gay men died after contracting HIV, beginning in the early 1980s. Following the assassination of Harvey Milk, he was hired by Lt. Gov. Leo McCarthy and was assigned to his healthcare committee. “I started to learn about HIV-AIDS in the first week of June 1981,” he recalls. “By 1985, almost everyone I knew was either dead or dying, and I wanted them to be remembered. I wanted to break through the silence and the bigotry.”

‘Everyone is bemoaning the death of the union, but we’re growing in the private sector.’ In 1983, he co-founded the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and soon thereafter founded the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. By 1985, the AIDS death toll in in San Francisco had hit 1,000. “I was very struck by that figure,” he says. “I asked people to carry signs of the people who had died, to the Federal Building [in San Francisco]. I looked at all the hanging signs—and it looked like a strange quilt.” From there, the AIDS Memorial Quilt grew to become the world’s largest community arts project. Jones is the keynote speaker on Sept. 7 during the North Bay Jobs with Justice annual fundraiser and awards ceremony. Veterans Memorial Building, 1351 Maple Ave., Santa Rosa. Tickets: $35 online; $40 at the door. northbayjobswithjustice.org.

Small Wonder A great ride to great vines BY JAMES KNIGHT

should call this Barlowto-Barlow bike loop a small ride to Small Vines: it’s an easy, 7.5-mile ride, mostly over an off-street paved path and through quiet country lanes, that passes points of interest to viticulture geeks and heritage apple fans alike. The Barlow center in Sebastopol, where the namesake family operated an applesauce cannery, is a fitting starting point for this ride. Today, it’s a postindustrial haven for post-ride nosh

and a brew. Find Morris Street at the east end of the Barlow and take a left. Morris curves west toward the entrance to the West County Regional Trail. Follow the signs at High School Road to pick up the trail. This is a former railroad grade, so it’s not steep, but if a pick-me-up is required after the arduous climb, stop for coffee at Andy’s Produce Market. Turn west at Occidental Road. Just before the next leg of the West County Trail, make a left on little Barlow Lane. It’s a slow, potholelaced but picturesque climb past Taft Street Winery, and vineyards and apple orchards in just about equal measure. Where the road doglegs, there’s a vineyard that’s not quite like the others. At the former Barlow family homestead, once a blackberry farm and apple orchard and now Paul and Kathyrn Sloan’s Small Vines Wines, the Pinot Noir vines are truly pint-sized, planted in rows just four feet wide. Very Burgundian, but also a winning strategy in this Goldridge soil, says Paul Sloan. It’s expensive to farm this way— they imported a French tractor the rows—and that looms above it’s a financial commitment to visit (three-bottle purchase, or $100 per person, by appointment only), so today let’s roll on down the lane, past a side-by-side comparison with a conventionally farmed vineyard, and some amusing sculptural sights as well. The road ends at Mill Station Road: right to choose your own adventure in the Sebastopol Hills; left to reconnect with the West County Trail at Highway 116. Small Vines 2014 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ($55) Grown on the other side of the winery and tasting room, which is fashioned from the Barlow’s original apple storage barn, the Chardonnay wows me with its exotic juxtaposition of caramel, toasty butter cookie and spicy, hazelnut liqueur aromas with lean, lively citrus flavor. The Pinot Noir here, too, has fresh intensity, and far from being a vintage on the way out, has plenty of time to age. Good thing the Sloans saved a pallet of 2014, as 2015 is already sold-out—naturally, it was a small crop.

Lucky Seven New wave of food and drink arriving in Sebastopol BY STETT HOLBROOK

f good things come in threes, the number seven is even better. That’s how many restaurants and bars have opened or are about to open in Sebastopol’s increasingly interesting food and drink scene.

Mother’s Ruin opened last month in the space formerly occupied by the Lucky Star bar. Mother’s Ruin is a bar, too, that specializes in gin—mother’s ruin. The term comes from England’s late 1700s, when gin consumption was rampant thanks to tax-free

booze and a depressed economy. Too much gin left men impotent and women infertile, i.e. ruined. There’s a great mural on the wall of the bar featuring a reproduction of English artist William Hogarth’s Gin Lane from 1751. The print features a scene of gin-soaked depravity. At the center is a nursing mother who appears to be letting her child fall off her lap into a stairwell as she boozily reaches for a tin of snuff. Hogarth also produced Beer Street at the same time, which depicts a happy scene of upstanding beer drinkers. The images were created to be shown side-by-side as an early public

service announcement—or as beer propaganda, depending on your view. You can contemplate all that while sipping one of the bar’s excellent gin cocktails (try an Alley Cat). While the top-shelf gin shines here, the bar is exceedingly well stocked with other artisanal, premium spirits. The space was thoroughly remodeled and feels more SOMA than Sebastopol with its high ceilings and spare, modern furnishings. If plans for a yet-to-be finalized restaurant next door materialize, patrons will be able to order food as they enjoy their ruination in high style. Across the way at the Barlow, there are five developments in the works. Fern Bar, the latest endeavor from the Lowell’s and Handline clan, is taking shape and aiming for a late November opening. It will be a bar and lounge that features a small plates menu from Lowell’s chef Joe Zobel and

nonalcoholic concoctions and decoctions from Gia Baiocchi, owner of the nearby Nectary. The two businesses will share a kitchen space that will also include a small brewery. That means the Barlow will be home to four breweries once Santa Rosa’s Seismic Brewing Co. opens its taproom there. Seismic is pioneering brewing with waterand energy-saving technology. The company was founded by Christopher Jackson, scion of the Sonoma County winemaking family. He’s going it alone on his beer business. What about cider? Sebastopol’s Golden State Cider is also planning to open a taproom by year’s end. With all that booze, you need to eat something. Kosho has taken over the space that once housed Vignette. No word on when it will open, but chef Jake Rand, formerly of St. Helena’s Two Birds/One Stone, will offer a menu of modern and traditional Japanese food. The Farmer’s Wife, beloved farmers market purveyor of gooey sandwiches, recently signed a lease for a space in the Barlow as well. Looming in the background of the food and drink tsunami is the Hotel Sebastopol, an upscale hotel and restaurant project from the folks behind Healdsburg’s Hotel Healdsburg and h2hotel, Spoonbar and Pizzando that will be sure to raise the city’s profile. Construction is supposed to begin in “late 2018,” but so far there are only weeds on the lot now. For good or ill, Sebastopol looks to be hurtling toward Healdsburgification, and the opening of the hotel may seal the deal.

Local Knowledge

Jeff Martin on apples, traffic and running the Muscle Shoals of Sonoma County Describe your perfect day in Sebastopol. I would say a walk downtown, visiting People’s Music, Copperfield’s Books and Milk & Honey on Main Street, and then a stroll over to the Barlow for Village Bakery’s bread or food from Barrio, mingling with the locals. I like that there’s a strong sense of community, people interested in progressive issues. There’s a lot of politics going on, and you’re able to connect to others and work on issues. There are a lot of progressive values about Sebastopol that I like.

Where do you take first-time visitors in Sebastopol? That’s a good question—probably the Sebastopol Plaza on Sunday for the farmers market. There is a lot of good stuff available—local arts and crafts, music—and excellent produce and local organic farmers that show up every Sunday. That’s the place to be. What do you know about Sebastopol that others don’t? For me, it’s the fact that we still have the Gravenstein apple, even with all the vintners, because there’s still a whole collection of people who are keeping the Gravenstein apple alive, grafting and trying to breed more of these heirloom trees. I’ve got about 20 Gravenstein apples on my property, and we open up the studio and give our apples away a few times a year. The other special thing about Sebastopol is the number of talented musicians living within 20 miles. [Studio E] has been called the Muscle Shoals of Sonoma County by various artists because I’ve got this roster of session musicians I can call to come in per the ) 14 artist’s need.

SPOTLIGHT ON SEBASTOPOL

Where is your favorite place to see live music in Sebastopol and why? I’ve been very much enjoying Jim Corbett’s (Mr. Music) Peacetown Concert series every Wednesday. It’s amazing because of the variety of musicians they get there, both local and national acts. They’re doing a very good job, and it’s in Ives Park and the afternoons are really nice. There are a lot of local vendors, and it’s again a great example of community.

Knowledge ( 13 If you could change one thing about Sebastopol, what would it be? It would probably be impossible, but it would be incredible if the downtown Sebastopol Main Street and even the Barlow was foot traffic only. The traffic is the problem—I got hit by a car in the crosswalk right in front of Whole Foods because the guy was on his cell phone. It’s a constant issue. If it was just foot traffic on Main Street and around the plaza, it would quiet everything down.

Tawai On the island of Borneo, there still exists a nomadic tribe of hunter-gatherers known as the Penan, who still rely on the forests for survival. In the Penan language, the word “tawai” refers to their connection to the land, which is explored in a new immersive documentary by British filmmaker Bruce Parry. Tawai: A Voice from the Forest chronicles the tribe’s experiences and explores the different ways that humans relate to nature. Praised as visually stunning and emotionally ethereal, Tawai screens in Sebastopol with Parry on hand to speak about his work as an indigenous rights activist and discuss several of the social and environmental issues brought up in the film. Tawai shows one time only on Sunday, Sept. 16, at Rialto Cinemas, 6868 McKinley St., Sebastopol. 7pm. 707.525.4840.

SCULPTED MELODY ‘Red Jazz’ by Kati Casida is one of a dozen new works coming to the LBC sculpture garden this month.

Harmony Returns Luther Burbank Center for the Arts reopens sculpture garden following fires BY CHARLIE SWANSON

here was a moment last October, in the immediate aftermath of the Tubbs fire, that Santa Rosa’s Luther Burbank Center for the Arts was thought to have been completely lost to the blaze that destroyed thousands of other homes and businesses. While the center’s main theater

ultimately survived the disaster and reopened for events within a month, an estimated 30,000 square feet of the campus was destroyed, including the musicalinstrument lending library and the outdoor sculpture garden. This month, the Luther Burbank Center marks another milestone in its recovery with the reopening of the sculpture garden on Sept. 13 with a new group exhibit, “Harmonies,” that features large-

scale works from three women artists. Curated by Kate Eilertsen and LBC programming director Anita Wiglesworth, “Harmonies” brings a new lyrical sense of nature, movement and light to the garden, whose landscape was entirely decimated along with many old-growth redwood sculptures by artist Bruce Johnson on display last October. “Women are rarely seen in

public art,” Eilertsen says. “I proposed that there were several local female artists that deserved to be seen together.” Formerly the director of the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, Eilertsen was approached by the center to curate a show for its garden meant to follow Johnson’s exhibit. She and Wiglesworth visited many artists in the Bay Area and ultimately selected Kati Casida, Catherine Daley and Jann Nunn to display in the show. Daley and Nunn are both North Bay residents, and Casida is based in Berkeley. Each artist has four pieces in the show that boast eclectic ideas and materials. “We titled it ‘Harmonies’ because the sculptures are very different from each other, but they go together very nicely,” Eilertsen says. While the show’s concept and selection process happened before October’s fire, Eilertsen acknowledges that the show has taken on a new meaning over the last 11 months. “It became even more important after the fires to have something lighthearted and beautiful,” she says. Scheduled for a two-year run, “Harmonies” invites the public to experience the garden with fresh eyes. “Something that I love about sculpture is that it looks so different as you walk around it,” Eilertsen says. “You can see the world in such a different way by looking at the same image from a different angle.” All three artists will speak at the opening reception, with food and live music on hand. “It’s a chance to meet the artists,” Eilertsen says, “and see the center coming back to life.” ‘Harmonies’ opens on Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa. 5pm. Free admission. 707.546.3600.

eptember marks the opening of the new artistic season for many North Bay theater companies. Here’s some of what they have in store for local audiences:

Petaluma’s Cinnabar Theater (cinnabartheater.org) transforms itself into Berlin’s Kit Kat Club and bids you willkommen, bienvenue, and welcome to the classic John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Cabaret. Broadway veteran Michael McGurk and Petaluma native Alia Beeton take on the roles that won Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli their Oscars. The Spreckels Theatre Company of Rohnert Park (spreckelsonline.com) opens its season with the multiple Tony

Award–winning Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Fans of the Mark Haddon novel about a young boy on the autism spectrum investigating the death of a neighborhood dog will find that it’s been somewhat reworked for the stage, but Tony voters liked it enough to name it 2015’s Best Play. Sebastopol’s Main Stage West (mainstagewest.com) opens its season with the world premiere of an original comedy by local playwright Bob Duxbury. Savage Wealth examines the impact of the sale of a Lake Tahoe home and the vacant lot next to it on a pair of brothers and their childhood friend. John Shillington directs. Dancing and singing New York “wiseguys” take over Santa Rosa’s 6th Street Playhouse (6thstreetplayhouse.com) as it presents Guys and Dolls. Summer Repertory Theatre artistic director James Newman moves to Railroad Square to helm what has been called “the greatest of all American musicals.” Santa Rosa’s Left Edge Theatre (leftedgetheatre.com) continues to provide North Bay audiences with recently written plays never before seen in the area with the U.S. premiere of a hit British comedy. Dave Simpson’s The Naked Truth involves charity fundraising, female empowerment and pole dancing. Argo Thompson directs a cast that includes former Bohemian theater critic David Templeton. In Guerneville, the Pegasus Theatre Company (pegasustheater. com) presents its 12th annual Tapas: New Short Play Festival. The seven short plays by Northern California playwrights will be the first production overseen by new artistic director Rich Rubin. Healdsburg’s Raven Players (raventheater.org) open with two contemporary dramas that deal with a host of complex issues including war, PTSD, gun violence, politics and religion. Time Stands Still and Church & State will run in repertory. Napa’s Lucky Penny Productions (luckypennynapa.com) invites you Into the Woods, where director James Sasser has apparently added another layer of fun to the musical fairy tale mashup. Plenty of options for the avid theatregoer.

BIRTHDAY GIRL Terry Garthwaite’s

throwing a party!

Joy of Singing

Terry Garthwaite celebrates decades of making music BY CHARLIE SWANSON 2018 LIN

E UP

Sep 13

MIDNIGHT SUN Afribean Soul, Rhythm & Roll

RockinThe

R i ve r .

nternationally known singer-songwriter, producer and teacher Terry Garthwaite has lived a life of music that dates back to the late 1960s, when she co-formed and fronted Berkeley rock group Joy of Cooking. With an inspiring musical spirit, Garthwaite has recorded dozens of albums over the years, delving into jazz, blues and folk along the way. Garthwaite recently turned 80, and is throwing a massive birthday concert on Sept. 16 at the Sebastopol Community Center that will also act as an official record-release party for her most recent album, Shine On. “The album came out last year,

but I never did a release party,” Garthwaite says. “And I just turned 80, so I decided, OK, I’m going to celebrate the fact that I’m still making music.” Garthwaite’s first release in over a decade, Shine On features 19 tracks that span her songwriting career, including tunes originally written in the 1970s as well as brand-new compositions. “I just don’t stop writing songs, so I had a lot of new stuff to put down,” says Garthwaite, who recorded the album at Sebastopol’s Studio E. Garthwaite’s 45 years living in West Marin is reflected in many of the songs, and all of her tracks feature positive messages, a staple of her songwriting since the beginning. Dating back to her time in Joy of Cooking, who regularly opened for headliners like Van Morrison, the Band and the Grateful Dead at venues like the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, Garthwaite says music was always a joyous experience, “with people dancing because the rhythm was compelling and the lyrics were uplifting—that’s where I like to go with my music,” she says. Garthwaite also uses her music as a teaching tool, leading songwriting workshops such as her annual Women Singing in Circle retreat, where she joins singers like Threshold Choir founder Kate Munger for a weeklong outing in the mountains of New Mexico. “It’s a perfect environment for my songs, a lot of people who come to the retreat need songs of comfort and joy,” she says. This month’s birthday concert will be another joyous experience, as Joy of Cooking bassist David Garthwaite (Terry’s brother) and drummer Fritz Kasten join Garthwaite, along with her favorite guitarist Nina Gerber, Studio E owner Jeff Martin, vocalist Chris Webster and others. “I wanted to have a mix of musicians on the show,” Garthwaite says. “There’s going to be a real feeling of community onstage.” Terry Garthwaite performs on Sunday, Sept. 16, at Sebastopol Community Center, 390 Morris St., Sebastopol. 4pm. $25–$30; premium seating and album, $60. seb.org.

Trump admin moves against pot BY MATTHEW ROZSA

rump is ramping up his unwieldy war on weed.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that President Donald Trump created a Marijuana Policy Coordination Committee, one in which various federal agencies that oversee marijuana policy work together to find ways to prevent Americans from having access to the drug. According to a summary of a meeting held between the White House and nine government departments in July, “the prevailing marijuana narrative in the U.S. is partial, onesided, and inaccurate,” and needs to be countered with “the most significant data demonstrating negative trends with a statement describing the implications of such trends.” “It’s a big step towards the prohibitionist status quo that we were in prior to the Obama years,” says Justin Strekal, political director of the National Organization for the Reform of

Marijuana Laws. “It’s not a step back [in the sense that] we’re not behind where we were in the 1930s, but we’re moving closer to where we were in the 1930s.” Strekal contrasts Trump’s policies on marijuana with those of his predecessor. Obama’s policy was largely driven by the now revoked “Cole memo.” The Cole memorandum was a policy drafted by Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole under Obama that effectively told states which had legalized marijuana that they could do so without federal interference as long as they abided by certain rules, such as making sure the drug stayed out of the hands of children and keeping it out of states where it is still illegal. By revoking the Cole memorandum, Attorney General Jeff Sessions gave federal prosecutors carte blanche to decide for themselves whether they would respect the wishes of states that had decided to legalize the substance. What steps might we expect the Department of Justice to take to curb marijuana use? “It could be a wide range of things,” Strekal explains. “In my view, it is unlikely that the DOJ, or DEA specifically, commits to a widespread ‘crackdown,’ but it would be much more like what the Heritage Foundation called for in 2017 . . . a 12-point plan for how the Trump Department of Justice can shut down marijuana in America. And largely the DOJ has followed many of those steps, and the biggest enforcement action component of that would be targeted RICO suits against some of the largest companies in the industry.” The Trump administration’s attitude toward marijuana legalization stands in contrast with national Democrats, who have indicated they plan to take up federal decriminalization if they take back the Senate this fall.

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Now is an excellent time to feel and explore and understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here’s a list of sadnesses from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer: sadness of the could-have-been; sadness of being misunderstood; sadness of having too many options; sadness of being smart; sadness of awkward conversations; sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things; sadness of going unnoticed; sadness of domesticated birds; sadness of arousal being an unordinary physical state; sadness of wanting sadness. TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

Do you have any feral qualities lurking deep down inside you? Have you ever felt a mad yearning to communicate using howls and yips instead of words? When you’re alone, do you sometimes dispense with your utensils and scoop the food off your plate with your fingers? Have you dreamed of running through a damp meadow under the full moon for the sheer ecstasy of it? Do you on occasion experience such strong erotic urges that you feel like you could weave your body and soul together with the color green or the sound of a rain-soaked river or the moon rising over the hills? I ask these questions, Taurus, because now is an excellent time to draw on the instinctual wisdom of your feral qualities.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) “Close some doors today,” writes novelist Paulo Coelho. “Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” I endorse his advice for your use, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to practice the rough but fine art of saying NO. It’s time for you to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don’t; about where your future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won’t; about which relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which tend to push you in the direction of mediocrity.

LEO (July 23–August 22) I want to make sure that the groove you’re in doesn’t devolve into a rut. So I’ll ask you unexpected questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions. Ready? 1. How would you describe the untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2. Is there a rare object you’d like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you’d love to attend and how it might change your life for the better. 4. What bird most reminds you of yourself? 5. What’s your most evocative and inspiring taboo daydream? 6. In your past, were there ever experiences that made you cry for joy in ways that felt almost orgasmic? How might you attract or induce a catharsis like that sometime soon?

Magical Relaxation

For the week of September 5

CANCER (June 21–July 22) To casual observers you may seem to be an amorphous hodgepodge, or a simmering mess of semi-interesting confusion, or an amiable dabbler headed in too many directions at once. But in my opinion, casual observers would be wrong in that assessment. What’s closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes that are ripening in the fog. Here’s another image that resonates with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One further metaphor for you: the bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose plant, which only bloom at night.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) By volume, the Amazon is the largest river in the world. But where does it originate? Scientists have squabbled about that issue for over 300 years. Everyone agrees the source is in southwestern Peru. But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? There are good arguments in favor of each. Let’s use this question as a poetic subtext as we wonder and meditate about the origin of your life force, Virgo. As is the case for the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. But I suspect that’s going to change during the next 14 months. And the clarification process begins soon. LIBRA (September 23–October 22)

When Warsan Shire was a child, she immigrated to the U.K. with her Somalian parents. Now she’s a renowned poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants and other marginalized people. To provide support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or

BY ROB BREZSNY

fugitive or displaced person, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I offer you two quotes by Shire. 1. “I belong deeply to myself.” 2. “Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself—what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Recreate and repeat.”

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

“Once in a while came a moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you.” So says a character in Alice Munro’s short story “Jakarta.” Now I’m using that message as the key theme of your horoscope. Why? Because you’re at the peak of your ability to be reached, to be touched, to be communicated with. You’re willing to be keenly receptive. You’re strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you’re so firmly anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are?

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) In 1928, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her friend Saxon Sidney Turner. “I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading,” she confided, “since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs 10 others at the same time.” My usual inclination is to counsel you Sagittarians to focus on one or two important matters rather than on a multitude of semi-important matters. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m departing from tradition to suggest you adopt Woolf’s approach to books as your approach to everything. Your life in the coming weeks should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Not many goats can climb trees, but there are daredevils in Morocco that do. They go in quest of the delicious olive-like berries that grow on argan trees. The branches on which they perch may be 30 feet off the ground. I’m naming them as your power creature for the coming weeks. I think you’re ready to ascend higher in search of goodies. You have the soulful agility necessary to transcend your previous level of accomplishment. AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) From 49–45 B.C., civil war wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy’s interests. In 45 B.C., Caesar brought a contingent of soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa, intent on launching a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he accidentally slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, “Africa, I have tight told of you!” and clasped the ground, thus implying he had lowered himself on purpose in a ritual gesture of conquest. In this way, he converted an apparent bad omen into a positive one. And indeed, he won the ensuing battle, which was the turning point that led to ultimate victory and the war’s end. That’s good role modeling for you right now. PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Below are sweet words I’ve borrowed from poets I love. I invite you to use them to communicate with anyone who is primed to become more lyrically intimate with you. The time is right for you to reach out! (1) “You look like a sea of gems.”—Qahar Aasi (2) “I love you with what in me is unfinished.”—Robert Bly (3) “Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born.”—e. e. cummings (4) “Tell me the most exquisite truths you know.”—Barry Hannah (5) “It’s very rare to know you, very strange and wonderful.”—F. Scott Fitzgerald (6) “When you smile like that, you are as beautiful as all my secrets.”— Anne Carson (7) Everything you say is “like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.” —Sylvia Plath
