Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Shocking Conditions Recently, I visited what some might call a “concentration camp.” Conditions in the facility shocked me: residents were crowded in and the smell of dirty diapers and soiled clothing/bedding and urine from shared restrooms permeated the air. Language barriers between staff and residents created other issues. Many residents appeared listless, surrounded by institutional-beige walls, bedding and floors.

Was I at a border facility housing illegal immigrants? No, I was at one of Marin’s skilled nursing facilities that’s home to hundreds of elderly and disabled poor.

Critiquing the Critic You must be able to find a film critic who can go to at least one decent movie a week and write a review. In the July 3–9 issue of your otherwise excellent paper you carried yet another “review” of one of the endlessly redundant, puerile and mindless superhero movies that seem to be the only thing pulling the Millennial and Gen X generations into their local, virtually empty cineplexes. At the same time our excellent local arthouses Summerfield Cinemas and Rialto Cinemas carried: Midsommar; Yesterday; Pavarotti; The Last Black Man in San Francisco; Echo in the Canyon; Rocketman; The Serengeti Rules; The Biggest Little Farm and The Framing Of John Delorean, all excellent and interesting films that deserved some notice in your “local” journal. If you truly want to support local business, how about supporting our local theatres with some articulate reviews and leaving the pablum films to the hacks who think a comparison of Rodan, Godzilla and Spiderman is somehow intellectually engaging. I doubt very much that the people who go to these movies read your periodical anyway.

We Need $15 an Hour by 2020

BY MARTIN J. BENNETT AND DENNIS POCEKAY

SANTA ROSA TREATMENT PROGRAM

‘T

he Fight for $15” continues to gather momentum across the nation and the state. On July 15, the Petaluma City Council will vote on a citywide minimum wage law boosting the minimum wage for 9,000 workers from $12 an hour to $15 by Jan. 1, 2020.

In 2021, the city’s minimum wage will increase annually based upon the cost of living.

Currently, the state minimum wage for businesses with more than 26 employees is $12 an hour and $11 for small employers. The state minimum will phase in to $15 by 2023 for all employers.

North Bay Jobs with Justice and the Alliance for a Just Recovery have launched a regional “Raise the Wage” campaign and proposed a $15 minimum wage by 2020 in six cities: Sonoma, Petaluma, Cotati, Sebastopol, Santa Rosa and Novato. Sonoma passed the first $15 citywide minimum in June and Santa Rosa will hold a study session on July 16 and Novato on July 23.

Why should local government implement accelerated $15 minimum wage laws?

Because the rent can’t wait! Wage stagnation and the catastrophic housing crisis are driving the “Raise the Wage” campaign. According to the report, “State of Working Sonoma 2018,” since 2000 real wages have remained flat for the bottom 60 percent of Sonoma County wage earners and dropped by 11 percent for the lowest paid 20 percent.

Simultaneously, between 2000 and 2016 median rents increased by 24 percent, yet median annual renter incomes rose only 9 percent— and then rents soared by 35 percent after the 2017 Tubbs fire.

The grassroots “Fight for $15” has compelled 26 California cities and one county to approve minimum wages higher than the state’s, and 45 have done so nationwide. Moreover, seven states and the District of Columbia have implemented $15 state minimums before 2025, and numerous other states have approved minimum wages ranging from $11 to $14.75 an hour.

Paper THE

NOT SO GREEN Cannabis industry packaging waste is taking its toll on the environment.

Pot Stickler

There’s nothing sustainable about vape pens or pot packaging BY TOM GOGOLA AND MAT WEIR

W

hen JJ Kaplan was a supervisor for the San Francisco–based cannabis collective SPARC, he saw a lot of trash headed for the garbage bin.

“I would see boxes of plastic and waste everywhere,” Kaplan recalls.

He talked about it with his friend Sam Penny, a garbage truck driver who had also noticed the weed-

waste problem, and together they decided to launch a new business, Canna Cycle, to reduce waste in the world of weed.

“People forget our industry was built on old-school hippies and growers who were sustainable on all aspects,” Kaplan says.

Based in Eureka, Canna Cycle launched at the beginning of the year and now has recycling bins in more than a dozen locations throughout the Bay Area.

Locally, their 23-gallon bins at

the five Bay Area SPARC locations collect cannabis packaging—glass jars, so-called plastic “doob tubes” and all the other childproofing plastic and packaging that’s part of the California Bureau of Cannabis’ Control’s regulations.

How does it work? The bins are open to the public and easily identifiable via the Canna Cycle logo. Kaplan says the biggest waste product they see are the “doob tubes,” and glass jars. But they don’t—they can’t—accept

everything, especially discarded cartridges from vape pens. That’s a recycling story for another day, or another legislative session.

Kaplan and Penny plan to repurpose much of the glass they collect back to the industry, and say that the plastic pre-roll tubes can be turned into things like filament for 3-D printers.

The company launched at a time when the recycling industry is in crisis due to rising costs and shrinking returns on investment, with some cities across the nation cutting their programs.

Businessmen like Kaplan are jumping into the fray to slow the flow of consumer waste, while companies such as the Montereybased Galicia put their attention to commercially-produced waste.

And, it comes at a time when Sacramento is starting to tune in to environmental consequences brought on by legalization—if slowly.

The state senate recently passed SB 424, which was targeted mainly at banning single-use e-cigarettes, but also includes single-use cannabis vape pens in its scope.

The advent of Proposition 64 (which legalized recreational cannabis sales) she says, came with so many built-in ground rules and regulations that there “aren’t too many legislative aspects to change the waste aspect right now.”

Indeed, there are none this year, except for SB 424. But 424 would only address cannabis products that enter the market as a single-use cannabis vape pen. It doesn’t include single-use cannabis “joints.”

Enter Kaplan and his new program to collect those “doob tubes” containing single joints. As for the vape pens, they’ve presented a disposal challenge for Sonoma County, given their legal status in light of the ongoing federal ban on cannabis, say county officials. It’s not just about cannabis, but that facet of American consumerism which equates individual liberty with the pursuit of personalized products.

SPARC, which has production and growing facilities near Kenwood as well as dispensaries, has pledged to be an industry leader in finding solutions to the pot-waste phenomenon. )8 Indeed, says Robbie Rainin,

Doob Tubes ( 6

WASTE NOT SPARC dispensary’s recycling bins have been filling up quickly since they implemented a recycling program.

assistant dispensary manager for Sonoma County, the bins at SPARC dispensaries in Santa Rosa and Sebastopol are overflowing with recyclables returned by customers.

He credits Kaplan for wading into what he describes as a “huge problem of excessive packaging” brought on by legalization.

So why all this waste? Safety regulations are forcing cannabis businesses to create packaging that’s designed to dissuade children from using cannabis products.

There’s currently no effort underway in the state to figure out how much waste the cannabis industry is generating both at the consumer and production level.

But it’s a lot, if those bins are any indication: Craig Pursell, SPARC’s assistant dispensary manager, says that in the few short months since the bins have arrived, customers have not only embraced the initiative, but that the “bins are filling up at an exponential rate.”

They can hardly keep up, he says.

“We need more people and more bins—or bigger bins.”

Localities are taking note and doing what they can to stem the tide of pot-related commercial detritus from landfills—with a general eye toward doing what they can do at

the consumer end to stem the tide of hyper-personalized products.

“Anything that’s single-use disposable is a concern,” says Leslie Luckacs, Zero Waste Sonoma’s executive director, “and I’d like to work with the cannabis industry so they can reduce impacts on their single use products on the environment.”

The flower, or bud, is what most people think of when they think about ingesting cannabis, and those 3.5 grams of dried product, when purchased at a local dispensary, come in plastic or glass jars that can weigh up to 184 grams. A 1-gram joint comes in a plastic tube containing 40.5 grams.

Edibles come in packaging that weighs up to 22 times the weight of the product.

The sticking point in sustainable cannabis is vaping. The devices come with heavily toxic lithium batteries and vape cartridges made out of metal and glass, plus combustible heating filaments.

While each of these things are theoretically recyclable on their own, when combined they are not.

There’s also some leftover THC residue inside the cartridge, making it a hazardous material by law, and leaving individual e-cigarettes in a

sort of after-life limbo. At present, the disposal of e-cigs and cannabis vape pens is left to the consumer, and by extension, the locality that picks up the trash.

Courtney Scott is Sonoma County’s point-person on the proper disposal of vape-pens. “All of the components should be separated and each item treated differently,” she explains via email. The batteries or battery components should be removed; the batteries are considered a household hazardous waste.

When it comes to e-cigs, she says that if the spent cartridge contains nicotine, it should be taken to the home household waste program for disposal as a toxic material.

It’s trickier for THC vape pens. “Unfortunately,” she says, “we don’t currently have a clear answer for cartridges that contain a minimal amount of cannabis, as the (hazardous household waste programs) are not allowed to accept controlled substance at this time. In general, cannabis waste needs to be rendered unusable and unrecognizable prior to disposal.”

The issue has come to the fore post Prop 64. During the medicinal era of California cannabis, the industry was not as heavily regulated, allowing dispensaries leeway in efforts like reusing old jars.

They could also collect, clean and reuse vape pens.

Now the cannabis recyclers are split between commercial and consumer-focused. Down in Monterey, the cannabis wastemanagement company Galicia has stepped in to the commercialcannabis trash business. They’ve been consulting with her organization’s national council, says Brasch, “to be a guiding beacon” to help the company navigate complex cannabis regulations.

Whereas Canna Cycle serves dispensaries, Galicia takes care of waste on the producers’ end, servicing hundreds of growers and product cultivators throughout the state. Company co-founder Garrett Rodewald says the company is also spearheading a recycling campaign for vaping.

For the time being, Kaplan’s bins are clearly marked to let people know that they don’t accept

vape cartridges. “That’s been a tough one,” he says. “We’ve been instructed by the state to stay away from it. That’s the one gray area in all of the packaging issues.”

For commercial outfits, it’s pricey for pot businesses to dispose of their own organic waste, says Stone, “and must be rendered unusable and unrecognizable prior to disposal.”

Businesses have the option to compost on-site “or self-haul cannabis to our transfer station,” which incurs a minimum $400 charge for it being considered special waste. “The material will be destroyed immediately and sent to landfill,” she explains. “The business will then be given a receipt as proof of destruction.”

For its part, Canna Cycle has teamed up with Humboldt County growers to launch a separate company, Sugar Hill, last month.

Its first item, the Sugar Stick blunt, comes rolled in hemp wraps with a wooden, biodegradable tip to reduce heat on the user’s lips, and comes in a fully biodegradable, hemp-plastic tube.

“The cost of using biodegradable plastic can be two to three times more expensive,” says Kaplan. “But if these become popular, hopefully other brands will follow suit.”

Kaplan highlights what some may view as an absurdity when it comes to the well-intentioned childproofing that comes with cannabis.

A parent himself, he appreciates the rationale behind childproof pot products, but observes that “if you have cannabis, it shouldn’t be anywhere near your child in the first place. I, as a parent, shouldn’t have to worry about you and your kid.”

He further envisions a future California legalization regime where consumers would have a choice between “doob tubes” and so-called “loosies.”

“The biggest change we could make is to give people the option,” he says. “Do you want it in a ‘doob tube,’ or do you just want it in your hand. If I could go buy three pre-rolls like that, if I know that I’m saving the earth? That would be beautiful.”

A version of this story ran in the July 3 Good Times in Santa Cruz, a Metro publication.

Swirl

s’more aroma of graham cracker and jelly, Concannon’s classic 2016 CV Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon ($20) has plenty of varietal character for the price, with room left over in the middle palate for sensibly paired cuisine.

Despite our reputation as revolutionaries, Americans are restorationists par excellence when it comes to the king of grapes—you see the Bastille Day tie-in? Take Jordan Vineyard & Winery, which recently dumped its American oak barrels in favor of French oak barrels for its latest vintage, 2015 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($57). Just as foodfriendly as the last vintage, this mélange of dried mixed berries, walnut, and raspberry herbal tea isn’t necessarily my cup of tea for a second glass, but as a Bordeauxstyled accompaniment to food, it’s hard to beat.

Choose Frank Family Vineyards’ 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($58) for a broadly warm, strawberry and plum jamflavored sipper. Sweet and soft, it also shows enough black olive and pencil box Cabernet character to stay in its price lane.

Now, name the reigning monarch of California white wine.

Sauvignon Blanc? Good guess, because that’s the blanc heavy of southwestern France. Yet, despite the popularity of “Sauternes” among California wine drinkers of the 1880s, their successors of the 1980s weren’t as savvy. That’s just as well, because Gamble Family Vineyards’ 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Yountville ($28) offers plenty of pretty citrus blossom, honey, and tropical fruit cocktail aromas for the price. With Asian pear flavor and a green, fruit cocktail grape note, the finish has a balancing touch of bitter melon rind.

I also like the simpler Pixy Stix, grapefruit zest and smoky flint-scented Benziger North Coast Sauvignon Blanc ($15).

When it’s time to let them have Chardonnay, try the Benziger 2017 Sonoma County Chardonnay ($16) or Imagery 2018 California Chardonnay ($20), whose on-type, if muted, apple pie and caramel flavors should cause no revolt among loyalists to the queen of California white wine.

Taste Riot Celebrate Bastille Day with the ancien régime of wine

fully expect new folks to show up in North Bay wine country next week and announce their plan to make wine as good, or better, than the best wines of France.

The plan is nothing new.

James Concannon did just that in 1883 when he planted vine cuttings from Château Margaux— famed for its wines then as now— in his Livermore Valley vineyard.

Margaux, located in the Bordeaux region on the southwestern coast of France, happens to be big on Cabernet Sauvignon—now the most widely planted grape in California by far—and some 80 percent of its acreage is now planted with clones of Cabernet that originated in the Concannon Vineyard, according to the winery.

Playing Tribute

Classic rock songs roll on with tribute bands BY CHARLIE SWANSON

REAL DEAL Petty Theft has built a community around the music of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.

S

ince the earliest days of the Elvis Presley impersonator, tribute bands have found a place in the music scene as a way for audiences to hear their favorite songs from their favorite artists in more accessible settings. Tribute bands also allow casual music fans to attend a concert and know exactly what they’re getting for their ticket.

“Sometimes we have conversations about tribute bands being sort of the dirty little secret of the music industry,” says Aaron Kayce, manager and talent booker

for Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley. “I don’t think it’s really that dirty, and I don’t think it’s that much of a secret.”

While tribute bands have long

been seen as secondary in the industry, they’ve exploded in popularity in the last 20 years, as classic rock icons retire or pass on. Now, for many fans, venues and musicians, tribute bands are becoming the bread and butter of the live music business.

“Everybody likes to sing along, everybody likes to know the songs, and that’s what you get,” says Kayce. “The bands that do it well are really good, take it really

seriously and sell a lot of tickets.”

In the Bay Area, tribute bands run the gamut from recreating songs to recreating entire concert sets from decades past, and classic rock tribute acts such as Petty Theft, Zeparella and the Sun Kings are some of the busiest bands working today.

Petty Theft Since 2003, Marin- and San Francisco-based tribute

we always give it up to the real deal,” Grisman says.

And the real deal has given it up back to them, with Heartbreakers drummer Steve Ferrone meeting the band through a mutual friend and sitting in with Petty Theft three times over the years. “It’s been an amazing honor,” says Grisman.

While Grisman says the band never imagined the project would gather such a following, they’re happy to share Petty’s music as long as people want to hear it.

“It’s the funny thing with the tribute band, I’ve always considered what we do more of a celebration rather than a tribute,” Grisman says. “Although with Tom’s passing in the last two years, the tribute thing takes on a new meaning. It was definitely a heavy period after Tom’s passing—it was really emotional for fans and for us, and it still is. But, what we’ve found is that the heaviness has lightened and people are embracing that the music lives on, and to celebrate it is a great thing.”

Zepparella

Veteran hard-rock drummer Clementine first fell in love with Led Zeppelin as a youngster listening to KMET radio in Southern California, and when she began to hit the skins herself, she realized just how much influence Zeppelin drummer John Bonham had on her musical aspirations.

In 2004, looking to better-learn those Zeppelin songs and the drum parts she loved, Clementine hooked up with guitarist Gretchen Menn—who admired Jimmy Page as much as she admired Bonham—and the two formed the Bay Area’s all-female tribute band Zepparella.

“When we started it, we looked at it being a practice project,” Clementine says. “Shortly after, we started talking about, ‘Why not do it onstage?’”

For Clementine it was, and still is, all about the music.

“I wanted to get better as a drummer, and why not go to the source of how I got into playing drums,” Clementine says. “I feel

like I came into this through the back way. It wasn’t that I set out to start a tribute band, it was that I wanted to learn this stuff and see what happens.”

Even 15 years into the band, Clementine notes she’s still learning from Bonham. “We just keep going forward because it’s so musically exciting,” she says. “Led Zeppelin is maybe the only band that I could continue to play for 15 years, and a lot of that is because we take parts of the songs and develop them

“I value it all...

What I learn from Zeppelin is what I take to my original writing, and parts of my original writing I put into the drumming with Zepparella.”

-CLEMENTINE, ZEPPARELLA. through improvisation onstage, and Led Zeppelin gives us that freedom because they were so improvisational in the way they presented the music. It enables us to create new parts of songs, new ways to approach songs. It’s always changing.”

In addition to the musical explorations afforded to her in Zepparella, Clementine appreciates how the band acts as a steady source of income and helps her develop an audience for her other singer-songwriter projects.

“The creative process as far as being able to write something from scratch with other musicians is a beautiful thing, and I have

that in the other projects I do,” she says. “I value it all. I feel like one feeds the other; what I learn from Zeppelin is what I take to my original writing, and parts of my original writing I put into the drumming with Zepparella.”

With the recent return of lead singer Anna Kristina, a vocal powerhouse who first showed her talents as a member of the Santa Rosa High School Chamber Singers back in the day, Zeparella is rocking stage on both the West and East coasts this summer.

In addition to their live shows, Zepparella is offering fans a way to learn the songs themselves, with the newly launched Zepparella Learning Channel on YouTube, a series of videos in which the members teach audiences their parts to a Led Zeppelin tune. So far, the series has featured “When the Levee Breaks” and “Immigrant Song.”

“It’s been a remarkable learning experience for us to teach these songs,” Clementine says. “For 15 years we’ve been learning all these little things that you learn playing this music onstage, and to be able to share that freely with people, it feels like we’re able to give a little back from what we’ve gained playing the music.”

Obviously, Led Zeppelin will never play together in concert again. And classic rock acts like the Rolling Stones or AC/DC that do still tour play in stadiums that don’t offer the intimacy clubs provide. Clementine sees Zepparella as a way for audiences to experience the classic rock of yesterday in an intimate setting.

“To be able to get swallowed up by these songs in a smaller venue is where the power is,” she says.

Zepparella continues to thrive because of the power of those Led Zeppelin songs, and Clementine says the tribute band has lasted so long because of the musicians she’s been able to share that power with. “I value the people I’ve played with in the past and now,” she says. “It’s a great experience. I wouldn’t trade it.”

band Petty Theft has toured the Western United States, performing the songs of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in the spirit of the band’s live shows. For the past two years, Petty Theft was voted ‘Best Cover Band’ in the Pacific Sun’s annual readers poll.

For Marin native and Petty Theft guitarist and vocalist Monroe Grisman, Petty Theft is more than a band; it’s a community.

“For the longest time I was only in original music bands and even at a certain point kind of frowned on cover bands, because I was so into my own thing,” Grisman says.

“But there came a point in my life where I didn’t have as much time (for original music), and I got invited to join this band, and I thought out of all the bands I could think of playing their songbook, Tom Petty struck a chord with me. It’s great rock and roll music, great songs, something I could have fun with.”

With live sets that regularly include more than two dozen songs each show, Petty Theft pulls from over a hundred Petty songs and performs the late artist’s biggest hits as well as the deeper album cuts that true fans will recognize.

Within the tribute band genre, there are different varieties of tributes. There are bands whose members dress up in costumes and try to look like the band, and there are bands whose members take performance to a high level, like that of a Broadway show.

“I just saw a Genesis tribute band with set designs and periodspecific gear,” Grisman says. “And there's a certain value for that, like for me that was the closest thing I’ll ever get to seeing Peter Gabriel-era Genesis in 1973.”

Forgoing the costumes themselves, Petty Theft focuses on performing the music and honoring the sound, while also adding their own touches and taking liberties that keep the concerts fresh for fans.

“I think it’s why we’ve built up a pretty amazing following now; people like that we’re not trying to be Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, rather we always pay tribute and

KEEPING THE BEAT(LES) Drew Harrison (center) and the Sun Kings have embodied the music of the Beatles for nearly two decades.

of The Beatles for over 18 years now. Forgoing mop top wigs and Sgt. Pepper’s clothes, the group instead pays tribute by delivering note-for-note recreations of the Fab Four’s entire catalogue.

“I might have to write to Guinness about this,” says guitarist and John Lennon-tributevocalist Drew Harrison. “By the end of this year, I will have played every Beatles song ever released, live. The Beatles never did that.”

The 58-year-old Harrison says he should’ve been a brain surgeon, but got bit by rock and roll, “much to me parents’ chagrin.” As a musician, he’s spent more than three decades performing original music and

covers, and like most other baby boomers, is a lifelong Beatles fan.

He’s even more of a John Lennon fan, though he stumbled into The Sun Kings accidentally.

“I didn’t set out to do Beatles’ tribute with the Sun Kings, but you know how life goes, you just end up in these places,” Harrison says.

In the 1990s, after the Berlin Wall came down, Harrison found himself living in Eastern Europe and he joined up with a band in the Czech Republic.

“I was the token English singer, and they said, ‘Play Beatles,’ because they couldn’t have the Beatles or the Stones or anybody out there during the communist

era,” he says. “I played this show for about 6,000 people in this town, Karlovy Vary, and the people went nuts for ‘Ticket to Ride,’ literally nuts, they screamed bloody murder. It was crazy.”

When he got back to the States six months later, Harrison recruited a band and joined the ranks of Beatles tribute bands with the Sun Kings.

“We’re not costumes and we’re not caricatures,” Harrison says.

“Not to take anything away from bands that do that, but we’ve found our niche in that we play the concert the Beatles never gave.”

The Sun Kings play both hits and deep album cuts from across the Beatles’ entire career, using

Rickenbacker guitars, Ringo Starr-appropriate drum kits and classic amps.

“There’s a pleasant obsession about trying to get it right,” Harrison says. “We’re all fans of the music, so when we get kind of close, we all get this feeling and people love it. That’s the nostalgia that everybody in the tribute world is pining for; a piece of our past.”

That nostalgia is driving the tribute market to new heights in the 21st century, as a generation looks to recapture the classic rock of their youth.

“It’s gotten much bigger in the 20 years since we started,” Harrison says. “And there’s tributes for everything. There’s a certain amount of competition for a Beatles band, for example. It becomes like any business—our product is this music and we are fulfilling the need.”

Part of that business means staying aware of rights issues, though most tribute bands avoid major publishing problems by not selling albums and ensuring that the songwriters are given credit where it’s due.

“I know the new media licensing is such that ASCAP found us and other tribute bands and said, ‘You’re going to have to pay licensing just for having snippets of the songs on your website,’” says Harrison. “And that’s fair, that’s fair.”

While the Sun Kings take the business of tribute bands seriously, they don’t forget to enjoy the music.

“I’m the fan I have to impress,” Harrison says. “I love the music, and getting it right is like building a kit-car—it’s made me a better musician, certainly a better singer.”

In addition to their own instrumentation, the five-man outfit also brings in horns and strings for full-album shows. The band also invites schools to bring in music students to play with them from time to time.

“It’s a lot of fun, it introduces kids to the music,” Harrison says.

“This music has a long shelf life, and as long as we’re around we’re going to have a gig.”

IN THE LIMELIGHT Detective Ron Stallworth’s memoir inspired the 2018 film ‘BlacKkKlansman.’

Screen Life

The real ‘BlacKkKlansman’ shares his story in Sonoma BY DAVID TEMPLETON

O

nce an undercover police officer, now the subject of an Oscar-winning movie, retired detective and author Ron Stallworth—the central figure in Spike Lee’s 2018 “BlacKkKlansman”— admits he’s still adjusting to the limelight.

“I’m trying hard to adapt to this ‘celebrity’ gig,” laughs Stallworth, speaking on the phone from Fort Worth, Texas, where he was participating in a Fourth of July book distribution event.

Stallworth appears in Sonoma on Thursday, July 11, at a Sonoma International Film Festival event.

In addition to a meet-and-greet with Stallworth and his wife

Patsy—to whom he dedicated his book and who shares all public appearances with him—Stallworth will appear onstage at the Sebastiani Theatre, following a screening of “BlacKkKlansman.”

Based on his bestselling 2014 memoir, the movie stars John David Washington and Adam Driver. It relates the story of Stallworth’s time with

the Colorado Springs Police Department and his successful infiltration of the area’s Ku Klux Klan. The movie received six Oscar nominations, including Best Film. It won for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Asked why he wrote the book after years of relative silence, Stallworth says there was never any real secrecy—he’s shared the story with friends and family many times.

“I freely showed people my KKK membership card, which I still carry,” he admits. “I just never told the press. But when I’d tell people, they all said basically the same thing: ‘There ought to be a book.’”

The film adaptation, unsurprisingly, takes some liberties with the truth. Still, Lee’s script sticks fairly closely to the real story, in which Stallworth, in the ‘70s, engaged in several phone conversations with local klansmen, then coordinated with white undercover detectives who made face-to-face contact with the Klan while pretending to be Stallworth.

One surprising outcome of the book and movie’s release is it corrected the widely held assumption the KKK was essentially extinct.

“I have to tell people all the time,” Stallworth says, “white supremacists have always been around, and they will always be around. And now, Donald Trump has given them the microphone, and white supremacy is taking full advantage of that. But I’m here to tell you, there are no good Nazis, I don’t care how you slice it. There’s no such thing as a good Nazi—I don’t care what the president says.”

‘BlacKkKlansman,’ with Ron and Patsy Stallworth, screens Thursday, July 11, at the Sebastiani Theatre, 476 First St., Sonoma. 7:15pm. $20.

Stage

Mamma Mia! and continues with the musical Bonnie & Clyde. It had a brief Broadway run in 2011 before being relegated to the regional and community theatre circuit. Opening with the deaths of Bonnie Parker (Jamie Goodson) and Clyde Barrow (Cameron Blakeley), it travels through time from their childhood to their violent end.

Young Bonnie (Evie Goodwin) wants to be a movie star like Clara Bow and Young Clyde (Liev BruceLow) wants to be an outlaw like Billy the Kid. Their older counterparts meet cute and in no time one of their dreams comes true. Along for the ride is Clyde’s brother Buck (CJ Garbin), his wife Blanche (Gabbi Browdy), and local constable Ted Hinton (Jeremy Beloate) who pines for Bonnie but will soon join forces with the lawmen sent to track the gang down.

Taking a cue from the 1967 Hollywood blockbuster starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, the show presents a highly fictionalized and romanticized version of the story with a book by Ivan Menchell, music

by Frank Wildhorn and lyrics by Don Black. Music director Jane Best and a nine-piece orchestra (tucked behind a curtain in the back) do a good job with the mostly-unmemorable mixture of country, blues, and gospel music.

The young cast who, in a rarity, are actually close to the ages of the protagonists, do well by their roles with particularly strong work done by Goodson and Browdy. Beloate shines in the show’s stand-out number “You Can Do Better Than Him”.

Director James Newman mostly meets the challenges of performing in-the-round, though sight-line and audio issues are present, especially for those sitting directly in front of the orchestra. The minimalist set by Sarah Beth Hall works and there’s creative use of crates, suitcases and trunks to create various set pieces. Terrific costuming by Megan Richardson evokes the period.

SRT’s Bonnie & Clyde is a well-crafted and well-performed production of a mediocre musical.

an Francisco is a series of steep hills that people cling to until the gravity gets them.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a remarkable film, in the way it evokes that downward pull.

It’s all about a dispossessed young man and the best friend who lives with him and studies him. Jimmy Fails (played by an actor of the same name) was homeless for half his life. He’s obsessed with a Victorian house on the edge of the Fillmore; he surreptitiously tends to it, lovingly painting the windowsills even as the current tenants pelt him with fruit from Whole Foods.

He’s crashing in Hunters Point, sharing a small house on a hill underneath the Sunnydale projects with his close friend Mont (Jonathan Majors) and Mont’s blind grandad (Danny Glover).

Jimmy feels this wooden castle of a Victorian is a family treasure.

After a dispute leaves it vacant, the young man reclaims the place, if only as a squatter.

Gentrification is coming even for this remote stretch of San Francisco. But director Joe Talbot is too thoughtful to satirize the new arrivals. Talbot keeps his eye on what’s left of life there.

The film is a beautifully made study of urban dispossession.

Adam Newport’s photography is up with the best visions of the city ever screened: a hill flattened by a long lens to look as steep as a Diebenkorn cityscape, the zeroing in on a window in a Tenderloin SRO where Jimmy’s scolding father lives; at last, the wrenching finale, a scene in an open boat on oily purple water. Jimmy’s conversation with a couple of newbie white girls on the Muni is a line that will be quoted as long as there’s a San Francisco: What he says is as wise as the saying by whomever it was—probably not Mark Twain—about the coldest winter they ever spent.

‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’ is playing at Rialto Cinemas in Sebastopol and Summerfield Cinemas in Santa Rosa.

Over the years, this milehigh hamlet has earned a reputation as a place for emerging artists to find an audience and it draws singers and songwriters of all kinds to its many clubs and venues.

Jim Sobo was drawn there in 2003.

He performed and recorded music in the Bay Area and Los Angeles for years before relocating to Prescott with his family, where he soon discovered a vibrant music scene at a venue called Coyote Joe’s.

“I started seeing some exceptional talent there,” Sobo says. “I was so taken with the talent that I decided to start this tour.”

For the past 14 years, Sobo has spent his summers curating and leading the Howling Coyote Tour, which appears at a half-dozen North Bay venues between July 16–21.

“I want to expose this talent to a larger fan base, a larger musical community,” Sobo says. “The San Francisco Bay Area is my favorite

musical community. I’ve done a lot of traveling, and I think that San Francisco has a great ear for original singer-songwriters and acoustic showcases like mine.”

This year’s lineup of performers is one of the tour’s most widely varied yet, featuring instrumental guitarist Darin Mahoney, flutist Sherry Finzer and folk/blues duo Cross-Eyed Possum. Cross-Eyed Possum is twin brothers Jonah and Jason Howard, who mix jazz, blues and alternative rock, on guitar and bass.

On Sobo’s podcast, The Howling Coyote Radio Hour, Cross-Eyed Possum recently met and started jamming with Mahoney and Finzer.

“The tour hasn’t even started yet, and they’re already starting to collaborate,” Sobo says. “I can only imagine what’s going to happen when we get out on the road and start to work on stuff with each other.”

Howling Coyote Tour performs on July 16 at Mantra Wines in Novato, July 17 at Barrel Brothers Brewing Co. in Windsor, July 18 at 256 North Restaurant in Petaluma, July 19 at Grav South Brewing in Cotati, and July 20 at Marin Country Mart in Larkspur. Times vary. Free, donations welcome. howlingcoyotetour.com.

re you Weed Wise?

The state of California hopes you already have the cannabis smarts.

In case you don’t, there’s a new campaign called Get #WeedWise that comes with a $1.7 million budget for online ads and billboards that will read “Support the Legal Marketplace. The Difference is Clear.” and “Find legal retailers at CApotcheck.com.” Curiously, or perhaps not, the state is using the words “weed” and “pot” and not cannabis.

There’s more cannabis in California now than ever before and many ways to buy it.

Lori Ajax, who heads the Bureau

of Cannabis Control, doesn’t like the black market and those not playing by the rules and paying taxes. To combat the illegal market, Sacramento has a threepronged strategy. First, cut off the product at its source. In June, law enforcement agents raided hundreds of unlicensed marijuana grows in Riverside, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties where they confiscated tons of processed weed and hundreds of thousands of plants still in the ground. Second, the state announced it will increase the number of licenses for legal dispensaries, cut the associated red tape and streamline the process. Third, Ajax and her agency have launched a public education campaign to persuade consumers to only buy from stateapproved outlets.

“We believe this campaign will directly impact consumer safety by clarifying that only cannabis purchased from licensed retailers has met the state’s safety regulations,” she said in a statement.

Ajax added that the “education campaign was meant to send a clear message to unlicensed businesses that they need to get licensed or shut down.”

For the last few years, cannabis education has come largely from the private sector. Until Prop 64 passed, the state couldn’t offer education; that could have been interpreted as encouragement to break the law. But it’s now a dire situation. If Sacramento doesn’t act, the underground economy will only grow bigger.

Will Ms. Ajax’s strategy work?

Maybe the stick is what’s needed.

Expect more raids and more confiscation of crops.

Meanwhile, “Weed Wise” seems less motivated by compassion and concern for the health of consumers and more driven by the desire for tax revenue and eagerness to control the cannabis juggernaut.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You're in the Land of Green Magic. That's potentially very good news, but you must also be cautious. Why? Because in the Land of Green Magic, the seeds of extraneous follies and the seeds of important necessities both grow extra fast. Unless you are a careful weeder, useless stuff will spring up and occupy too much space. So be firm in rooting out the blooms that won't do you any good. Be aggressive in nurturing only the very best and brightest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Eight years

ago, researchers in Kerala, India went to the Padmanabhaswamy Temple and climbed down into centuries-old vaults deep beneath the main floor. They found a disorganized mess of treasure in the form of gold and precious gems. There were hundreds of chairs made from gold, baskets full of gold coins from the ancient Roman Empire, and a four-foot-high solid statue of a god, among multitudinous other valuables.

I like bringing these images to your attention, Taurus, because I have a theory that if you keep them in your awareness, you'll be more alert than usual to undiscovered riches in your own life and in your own psyche. I suspect you are closer than ever before to unearthing those riches.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Children need to learn certain aptitudes at certain times. If they don't, they may not be able to master those aptitudes later in life. For example, if infants don't get the experience of being protected and cared for by adults, it will be hard for them to develop that capacity as toddlers.

This is a good metaphor for a developmental phase that you Geminis are going through. In my astrological opinion, 2019 and 2020 are critical years for you to become more skilled at the arts of togetherness and collaboration; to upgrade your abilities so as to get the most out of your intimate relationships. How are you doing with this work so far?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Vantablack is a material made of carbon nanotubes. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it is the darkest stuff on the planet. No black is blacker than Vantablack. It reflects a mere 0.036% of the light that shines upon it.

Because of its unusual quality, it's ideal for use in the manufacture of certain sensors, cameras, and scientific instruments. Unfortunately, an artist named Anish Kapoor owns exclusive rights to use it in the art world.

No other artists are allowed to incorporate Vantablack into their creations. I trust you will NOT follow Kapoor's selfish example in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, it's crucial that you share your prime gifts, your special skills, and your unique blessings with the whole world. Do not hoard!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hi, my name is Rob Brezsny, and I confess that I am addicted to breathing air, eating food, drinking water, indulging in sleep, and getting high on organic, free-trade, slavery-free dark chocolate. I also confess that I am powerless over these addictions. Now I invite you to be inspired by my silly example and undertake a playful but serious effort to face up to your own fixations. The astrological omens suggest it's a perfect moment to do so. What are you addicted to? What habits are you entranced by? What conditioned responses are you enslaved to? What traps have you agreed to be snared by? The time is right to identify these compulsions, then make an audacious break for freedom.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When cherries are nearing the end of their ripening process, they are especially vulnerable. If rain falls on them during those last few weeks, they can rot or split, rendering them unmarketable. So cherry-growers hire helicopter pilots to hover over their trees right after it rains, using the downdraft from the blades to dry the valuable little fruits. It may seem like overkill, but it's the method that works best. I advise you to be on the lookout for similar protective measures during the climactic phase of your personal ripening process. Your motto should be to take care of your valuables by any means necessary.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Please don't try to relax.

Don't shy away from challenges. Don't apologize for your holy quest or tone down your ambition or stop pushing to get better. Not now, anyway, Libra. Just the opposite, in fact. I urge you to pump up the volume on your desires. Be even bigger and bolder and braver.

Take maximum advantage of the opportunities that are

BY ROB BREZSNY

arising, and cash in on the benevolent conspiracies that are swirling in your vicinity. Now is one of those exceptional moments when tough competition is actually healthy for you, when the pressure to outdo your previous efforts can be tonic and inspiring.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I can't decide

whether to compare your imminent future to a platypus, kaleidoscope, patchwork quilt, or Swiss army knife. From what I can tell, your adventures could bring you random jumbles or melodic mélanges—or a blend of both. So I'm expecting provocative teases, pure flukes, and multiple options. There'll be crazy wisdom, alluring messes, and unclassifiable opportunities. To ensure that your life is more of an intriguing riddle than a confusing maze, I suggest that you stay closely attuned to what you're really feeling and thinking, and communicate that information with tactful precision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Every

year, thousands of people all over the world go to hospital emergency rooms seeking relief from kidney stones. Many of the treatments are invasive and painful. But in recent years, a benign alternative has emerged. A peer-reviewed article in a scientific journal presented evidence that many patients spontaneously pass their kidney stones simply by riding on roller coasters. I doubt that you'll have a literal problem like kidney stones in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But I do suspect that any psychological difficulties you encounter can be solved by embarking on thrilling adventures akin to riding on roller coasters.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book

The Histories, ancient Greek historian Herodotus told the story of a six-year war between the armies of the Medes and the Lydians in an area that today corresponds to Turkey. The conflict ended suddenly on a day when a solar eclipse occurred. Everyone on the battlefield got spooked as the light unexpectedly dimmed, and commanders sought an immediate cease to the hostilities. In the spirit of cosmic portents precipitating practical truces, I suggest you respond to the upcoming lunar eclipse on July 16-17 with overtures of peace and healing and amnesty. It'll be a good time to reach out to any worthwhile person or group from whom you have been alienated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My astrological colleague Guru Gwen believes that right now Aquarians should get scolded and penalized unless they agree to add more rigor and discipline to their rhythms. On the other hand, my astrological colleague Maestro Madelyn feels that Aquarians need to have their backs massaged, their hands held, and their problems listened to with grace and empathy.

I suppose that both Gwen and Madelyn want to accomplish the same thing, which is to get you back on track. But personally, I'm more in favor of Madelyn's approach than Gwen's.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): As a self-taught rebel poet with few formal credentials, I may not have much credibility when I urge you to get yourself better licensed and certified and sanctioned. But according to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming months will be a favorable time for you to make plans to get the education or training you're lacking; to find out what it would mean to become more professional, and then become more professional; to begin pursuing the credentials that will earn you more power to fulfill your dreams.

A great price for a nice wine. This Rose has flavors

It is light bodied, dry and has a nice crisp finish because of its bright acidity. Great with a medley
