Rude, FakeMellow Marinities

“I wouldn’t be caught dead in that kind of doctor’s office” I get it! I was like you, long ago, only worse. (Ask me about this.) RACISM. Everyone agrees that it’s a bad and ignorant thing. But what about other forms of bigotry? This sort of thinking, of behavior, of decision-making, occurs in science, in general, and, very commonly, in health care. Name-calling, viciousness, hatred, instead of reasoned discussion? Some people these days, as bad as their sicknesses and suffering are, as long as they’ve been sick and suffering, refuse to consider any form of care other than what they have always believed in…Establishment Medicine. Logic flies out the window, and you STAY sick and suffering. Let’s consider results, or lack thereof… If you went to a restaurant and the food was terrible, and the service worse, you wouldn’t go back. If you got food poisoning, you’d certainly not go back. If you went to your dentist for a toothache, she or he put you on a lifetime prescription of Oxycontin, Fentanyl or other pain killer, and never fixed your dental problem, you’d see that something was terribly wrong with that dentist, wouldn’t you? So why do you put up with the same thing from your orthopedist, neurologist, rheumatologist, cardiologist, internist, G-I specialist, OB-GYN, psychiatrist, GI specialist, etc.? OK, you got “desperate,” and finally “tried Chiropractic.” Except that you only got three or four visits (because that’s what your insurance paid for.) There was no science behind this experience, not even any X-rays. Maybe you didn’t even get adjusted. Maybe you got “adjusted” by some weird machine that vibrates, instead of a specific, gentle thrust, by hand, as it should be. Maybe you got disgusted and discouraged. I would!

American society, in general, and Marin society, in particular, is becoming more and more offensive and unmannerly. I do look forward to the hate mail I get in the Pacific Sun, but this obsession with referring to me as “Mr. Harte” (as many times as they can manage it in one little letter), instead of “Dr. Harte,” is getting tiresome. Marinites just love to label themselves, to see themselves, as particularly “natural,” mellow and tolerant. Really? Like just about everywhere else, your average Marinite will play natural, as in “I’m into yoga/meditation/herbs/ crystals/massage.” Yet, at the least sign of a serious health problem, they’ll end up at some medical specialist or the ER as fast as anyone else. They may see chiropractic as some sort of add-on alternative treatment, rather than what it really is, a separate and distinct profession. It is not a treatment for back pain; rather, it is the means to liberate the nervous system, allowing people to express their potential … physically, mentally and socially. Marinites who bow to medicine in an almost cult-like manner seem to get terribly offended (and nasty)

when a chiropractor stands up. My advice? If you’re interested, come in and get well. If not, go away. No hard feelings, OK? I do thank Mr. Klose for his characterization of me as “Marin’s chiropractic cheerleader” [Letters, ‘Chiropractic vs. MDMA,’ July 13]. KTVU has characterized me as the “leader of Marin’s anti-vaccine movement.” And, within the profession, I am known as “The Chiropractic Avenger.” Why? Because I owe my life, quite literally, to chiropractic. Because I have seen so many get well in my office over the last 35 years, including many cases that were “medically impossible” to get well. Because I take your health damn seriously! I quit med school to become a chiropractor, to serve you and anyone who is smart enough and open enough to move on to true natural healing (“Above-down, Inside-out”). I bear a personal responsibility to tell as many as possible, to help as many as possible. —Don Harte, D.C.

Dangerous toy It would indeed be ‘velorutionary,’ if e-bikes were “one shiny spoke in a fast-spinning alternative transportation evolution” [‘Reboot

“Dr. Harte has been my chiropractor since October 2014. During that time he has completely changed my entire physical life. I no longer have numbness in my hands. The horrible agonizing pain that was happening in my left heel and escalating daily is completely gone. I am off my Verapamil which I was taking for atrial fibrillation. I am off my thyroid medication for Hashimoto’s disease. I am off of my hormone creams for hot flashes that had gone on for 15 years of misery. I have gone to chiropractors since my mid-20s when I had been in a nasty automobile wreck. Dr. Harte is the first time that I believe I’ve had a really genuine chiropractor. He is an amazing, very dedicated man.” – Susan Palm, San Anselmo

PS: Afraid of getting adjusted? Aside from the fact that my adjustments, The Harte Method, are very, very specific and gentle, if you went to the worst chiropractor that you could find, that experience is safer than taking an aspirin. I wrote an op ed about this in the SF Chronicle. Pick up a copy when you come in.

The New Wheel

“I wouldn’t be caught STILL SICK/IN PAIN” OFFER: I do authentic Chiropractic. I do not treat back pain, neck pain, sciatica, acid reflux, high blood pressure, urinary problems, arthritis, bone-onbone hips and knees, TMJ, depression or migraines, but people like you often get better from these and many other conditions when the body is allowed to express more Life, as your nervous system is being liberated. Call me, Dr. Harte (D.C.) by Thursday, Aug. 18th. You’ll get the best examination you’ve ever had, along with spinal X-rays and three kinds of neurological scans, for only $70, reg. $570. Call me at The Harte of Chiropractic, today, at (415)460-6527. I’m in Corte Madera, near the shopping centers. I’m open until 7 most nights. I left med school to do this, after my life… literally… was saved by a chiropractor. I’ve been serving Marin and the Greater Bay Area since 1981.

the commute,’ July 13]. But they’re likely to only be a more dangerous toy. While 20 mph seems slow in a motor vehicle, attaining those speeds on a bicycle requires a long, painful learning curve. Experts have spectacular spills. Charlie Cunningham doesn’t remember crashing his e-mountainbike. A newbie in flip-flops at that speed will become a ward of the state. Few cyclists like hills or headwinds, but they’re not going to love road rash or traumatic brain injuries. Road obstacles come up out of nowhere. Drivers and pedestrians will misjudge their speed or not even see them. Cloaks of Invisibility cover even neon spandex. Multi-use paths will be no country for old people. Bike lanes are far more hazardous at that speed. When I originated the ‘Share the Road 3’ separation sign in 1982, I knew that cyclists and motorists must be educated and held accountable to share the road (not separate but unequal paths, lanes and sidewalks). If cyclists and motorists shared roads legally, predictably and without aggression, impairment or distraction, everyone would win. Twenty mph curb lanes shared by all wheeled traffic would reduce the carnage from the e-bike invasion. Twentieth century traffic is the most complex and dangerous human activity outside of war. Sheer numbers of killed and maimed Americans dwarf the total from all our wars, but traffic victims don’t get a memorial or a holiday. We ignore Carmageddon because we treasure our wombs with a view and we’re addicted to speed. Electric motor-assisted human powered transportation will herald the Velorution, but two wheels are inherently unstable. The new SafetyCycle will be an enclosed tricycle, protected from the elements and collisions. CycleTrains! on monorails and bicycle buses will replace diesel buses and trains, subways and nostalgic trolleys. Walkers will be honored, not forced to keep one foot in the ditch.

The Velorution probably won’t start in the United States, but it will transform traffic into safer, cheaper, quieter and healthier transportation. —Stephen Simac

Powerful messages Couple opens museum to share large collection of international propaganda By Flora Tsapovsky Uncle Sam image copyright Everett Historical

hile Lilka and Tom Areton didn’t quite time the opening of their museum dedicated to propaganda to highlight the current zeitgeist, the freshly opened Museum of International Propaganda in San Rafael couldn’t come at a better time: Election year. Bright, inviting and highly educational, Marin County’s newest museum is all about the stuff that once made elections victories and regime changes, and couldn’t be more poignant in 2016.

The collection of propaganda at The Museum of International Propaganda has taken the founders more than 30 years to compile.

“Propaganda is the calculated manipulation of information designed to shape public opinion and behavior to predetermined ends, as desired by the propagandist. It is usually emotional and repetitive, either designed to increase enthusiasm for a proposed utopian world or to escalate rage and hatred against a designated enemy,” the longtime Marin County residents, parents of three and avid travellers, explain on the museum’s website. “Subjectivity, disinformation, exaggeration, and the outright falsification of facts are the hallmarks of propaganda practitioners.” Sound familiar? The two founders come from different backgrounds, but their curiosity on the topic, as well as a penchant for globetrotting, are great commonalities. Lilka was born in the U.S., and Tom in Communist Czechoslovakia, his parents well familiar with the Nazi regime. “I met Tom, freshly arrived from Czechoslovakia, in 1969 at the International Center in NYC,” Lilka recalls. “I was a volunteer there, helping as a receptionist.” Tom, who studied at the Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, and, later in the U.S., took up film study at NYU and Law and Economics in San Francisco, “was born in Czechoslovakia by a cosmic error and always felt he was an American,” Lilka jokes. She has a Ph.D. from San Francisco’s Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. The academic background led the two to start a student exchange nonprofit in 1977, currently named Cultural Homestay International, and based in San Anselmo. “We are still running it,” Lilka says. “In the 1970s we happened to host a

was great,” Lilka recalls. “Both Tom and I were fascinated by the power of messages that would turn out to be false hopes for people.” The museum idea crystallized a few years ago, when the couple visited North Korea, Berlin and Cuba. “We decided that we should share our collection with others who might find it educational and enjoy it, too,” Lilka says. Next came the search for a space, the gathering of display walls and the setup. A Marin location, rather than a San Francisco one, was crucial. “I could not commute to San Francisco every day at my age,” she explains. “Also,

Marin’s audience is quite sophisticated, so we expected a lot of interest.” In May of this year, the Museum of International Propaganda opened its door to the public, as a nonprofit. It operates Wednesday through Saturday, offering a glimpse into the world of propaganda with posters, postcards, texts and other materials. Why a nonprofit? “Nonprofit status encourages people to donate valuable propaganda items to the museum,” Lilka says, adding that charging entrance fees would limit the number of visitors. “We have never heard of a museum that made money. We derive no »8

Japanese high school girl and fell in love with her and with the whole idea of homestay. It refreshed our faith in mankind’s future.” In 1980 the couple went to Japan and started bringing school groups on summer programs to California. By 1987, they brought almost 12,000 students from Japan to the U.S. in one year. “We still have that amount coming yearly all over the United States from 104 different countries,” Lilka says. The students arrive under different student program umbrellas, from Au Pairs to the summer Work & Travel Program. In a world of Skype and social networks, such vocation sounds almost nostalgic, but it shouldn’t be. “It has been a lifetime of inspiration and affection for people from scores of different cultures and countries,” Lilka says. “Human contact in a personal setting builds bridges of deep affection and goodwill.” Hosting students naturally encouraged extensive travelling for networking and crafting partnerships. Lilka has been to Asia, Western Europe, South America and Africa, and frequently visited Russia, a propaganda generator second to none. “The great changes there are both inspiring and horrific,” she laments. “The transition from communism to capitalism has not been easy for most people.” The couple’s collection of propaganda artifacts slowly grew in the process, and spans more than 104 countries. “I went to Russia in 1960 at the age of 20 and got the shock of my life when I saw that the economy was not producing, that the population was terrified of the police and where the propaganda was everywhere trying to convince the people that everything

Powerful messages «7 income from the museum; it is purely a hobby. However, we derive a lot of pleasure from educating the public, especially the students.” Plans for the museum are exciting— the two have already screened the bittersweet comedy Goodbye Lenin!, and will host future movie nights, as well as guest speakers and lecturers who will lead debates. A Free Speech Café is also in the works, and will open in a few months—an image on the museum’s website suggests that instead of the customary heart or smiley design in the foam, the cafe’s latte might have the face of Cuban superstar Che Guevara. Indeed, humor is an inevitable ﬂipside of propaganda, with exhibits, according to Lilka, ranging from “the funny to the creepy.” In the creepy category are viliﬁcation posters reading things like, “Alaska, death trap for the Jap.” On the funny side, Chinese Cultural Revolution and Iranian “brazenly anti-American” posters can be found. America herself is no slouch when it comes to bold and brazen, especially when it came to foreign communist leaders. “We have some great American propaganda, like, ‘This is your

America—keep it free,’ which shows us a series of posters of the U.S. in the late ’40s,” Lilka says. “This America may be long gone.” Some artifacts from the collection had to be ﬁltered out; “Horrible posters about minorities, religions, cultures and individuals,” Lilka says. “I had to include some of these types of propaganda because such posters are key ingredients in effective propaganda, designed to frighten people, blame others and keep the people looking the other way from the real problems facing the nation. But I kept this part of the collection to a minimum.” The public response, so far, has been welcoming. “Almost everyone has been entirely excited and delighted to see our images and to read the explanations of what they are looking at,” says Lilka. “Our visitors are well-traveled, quite well-educated and curious. Many are older adults who have lived through a long century of many changes. We are anxious to meet them again at our forums.” Do they ﬁnd the whole thing highly relevant, as well? “Almost everyone coming in suggests I put up some

faces and some propaganda from our elections today,” Lilka says. “Our elections are propagandists’ bread and butter.” And while the museum’s exhibits are limited to the political propaganda of the 20th century, “Propaganda and propagandists are active and well all around the world and in every country. The propagandist will have succeeded, when people, toeing the propaganda line think they are acting of their own free will,” she adds. The perfect preventive remedy is, according to Lilka, “asking ourselves every day, ‘What is this person,

government, or powerful interest trying to sell me?’ We need to pretend to think just the opposite so that we can more objectively ﬁnd the facts of the situations and not just justify our already held beliefs.” Now this would be a nice addition to your morning mindfulness practice, from now until November 8.✹ The Museum of International Propaganda, 1000 Fifth Ave., San Rafael; 415/310-1173; propagandamuseum.net.

▼ Curtis Myron Odom, 22, cost the taxpayers of Marin a bundle last Sunday morning. The San Pablo resident and his girlfriend drove to San Rafael to pick up his paycheck and then struggled over who should hold the keys to her car. Odom drove away, leaving his girlfriend behind, and she called the police. During the police pursuit, Odom drove more than 70 mph on East Francisco Blvd., hit another car head-on and hurt the driver. He then jumped out of the car and into the bay. Because he refused to come out, the CHP, Marin County Sheriff’s Department, San Rafael and Larkspur Fire Departments and the U.S. Coast Guard, which provided special assistance with a rescue boat crew and helicopter, had to respond.

hough the quality of food at large-scale music fests has been steadily improving over the years, it was arguably the inaugural 2008 Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival that pioneered the growing trend toward heightening concert goers’ gastronomical experiences. This year, music lovers who swarm Golden Gate Park for the annual summer fest (August 5-7) will not only enjoy three days of a diverse lineup of musical acts from Radiohead to Lionel Ritchie, but they’ll also have the luxury of choosing their meals from a dizzying array of food trucks, carts and restaurant offerings. All told, more than 75 vendors will be touting everything from ramen and tacos to lobster sandwiches and fresh oysters. Along with a food curator, Outside Lands has a designated sommelier and beer curator who manage the more than 40 participating wineries and 28-plus breweries. “Drinking wine engages more of the senses and elevates the experience,” says Peter Eastlake, who owns Solano Cellars and Vintage Berkeley and has been with Outside Lands since its inception. “I remember approaching wineries in the early days and it was a new idea—not everyone was on board.” Today, many of the wineries come back year after year to

the annual event that draws more than 200,000 people. Dubbing itself the world’s only gourmet music festival, the event continues to expand its culinary footprint with its sixth annual Summer Pairing Series. These events bring together different beer, wine and food vendors at restaurants throughout the Bay Area (who will be at the event) and give folks the opportunity to experience the pairings before the show. Now in its ninth year, the event has also spawned an Outside Clams, Cheeselands, Chocolands and this year debuts a Forest Feast that includes a four-course dinner from San Francisco’s Trestle restaurant. The North Bay will be well represented at Outside Lands as well. El Huarache Loco will be serving up their signature huaraches, chilaquiles, tacos and quesadillas for the eighth year in a row. Belcampo Meat Co. debuts this year with a double fastburger with pickled goat horn chiles, a grass-fed beef Belcampo hot dog with all the fixings, and roasted beets. Both Fairfax’s Iron Springs Brewery and Mill Valley-based Headlands Brewing Company will be pouring their seasonal IPAs, and Three Twins Ice Cream (founded in San Rafael) will have special treats on hand.

Primal fears Author John Langan on horror, darkness and fright By David Templeton

“I

could see how that would be a little unnerving,” author John Langan says with a laugh, upon hearing that I had just watched the film Lights Out—about a creature who lives in darkness—at a theater where I was the one and only person, sitting in the dark. “This was probably not the best film to watch all alone in the dark.” Adapted from a freaky 2013 short film by David F. Sandberg, the featurelength supernatural horror movie follows a young woman named Rebecca (Teresa Palmer, of Warm Bodies and the recent Point Break doover), whose mentally ill mother (an effectively spooky Maria Bello) has become physically and psychically linked to an evil entity who can only be seen—and can only hurt you— when the lights are out. In an effort

to save her half-brother Martin from the jealously murderous Diana—the creature’s name when she was a living person with a rare skin disorder— Rebecca decides to spend the night in her mother’s house to find a way to defeat the demon. Tightly coiled and cleverly shot, with some remarkably strong acting throughout, Lights Out is easily one of the most terrifying films in recent memory. “I liked it more than I was anticipating,” says Langan, who I’ve reached late at night at his home in upstate New York, where he teaches gothic literature at State University of New York at New Paltz. He is a co-founder of the Shirley Jackson Awards, given to outstanding horror writing. A prolific crafter of horror fiction himself, Langan is the author of several collections of creepy short stories, including The Wide,

whenever the lights go out. “The way the character of Diana looks, by the way, is a bit of a call-back to the monstrous girl demon from The Ring,” Langan says. “The obscured face, the long hair. I think they are related, in that they have some of the same visual DNA.” “Does it strike you as surprising,” I ask, “that in the days of Saw and Hostel, truly graphic and horrifying films, someone can make an effectively scary PG-13 movie out of little more than a shadow in the darkness?” “It is surprising,” Langan agrees. “Those torture-porn kinds of movies you mention, I hope they’ve run their course, because I think they simultaneously desensitized audiences and made them ravenous for more. In the Saw movies, there’s an interesting thing happening, in that there’s this Rube Goldberg effect happening, in the way each person is killed, using these elaborate series of machines and things. “The Final Destination movies were the same,” he continues. “These movies show you something truly vile and awful, but they give you a way to keep from looking by giving you this interesting, slightly distracting other thing to watch, which is the sort of whimsical way in which the murderous moment takes place. If it were just the murder, the saw cutting through someone or whatever, we’d never watch. It would be too disgusting.” But because we are given something almost pleasant to watch, Langan suggests, we can give ourselves a way to be witness to unspeakable acts. “As an author who tells stories where awful things happen,” he says, “I find it very interesting, the way those films work. We know the character is going to die, but we can handle it because we busy ourselves trying to guess how it’s going to happen.” “Is that,” I ask, “a little like looking at a movie screen corner, so you aren’t quite as frightened by the monster at the center of the screen?” “Yes, I suppose it is,” Langan says with a laugh. “I think we probably do know how to let ourselves be frightened, but not too frightened. So when a movie really succeeds, is when it tricks us into moving beyond that sort of ironic detachment, into a place where we can’t escape from caring about the people who are being terrorized. “Lights Out manages that,” he says, “because once we start to care, there’s nowhere to hide.”Y

‘Lights Out,’ a horror movie about a creature who lives in darkness, was adapted from a 2013 short film by David F. Sandberg.

Carnivorous Sky and Other Monstrous Geographies and Mr. Gaunt and Other Uneasy Encounters. His latest novel, The Fisherman, is a supremely disturbing but addictively engaging tale (within a tale) about two grieving widowers who find solace in fishing together. When one of them hears strange tales of a remote creek where the dead have been seen alive again, tales supported by the long, horrifying story they are told at a roadside diner, the two friends set out to find answers. What they encounter is a chilling, centuries-old secret of Lovecraftian proportions. And yes, aquatic creatures are most definitely involved. The Fisherman, a strong example of the current revival in weird fiction, is as unsettlingly nightmarish as it is vividly wrought and deeply, convincingly human. “I do think Lights Out relied a little too much on the ‘jump scare’ thing, with the sudden loud noise just as something appears,” Langan says, offering his expert opinion of the film we both just saw. “But that aside, it was very effective. There were a few moments when I found myself studying the corner of the screen instead of the center where the action was taking place. It’s like, ‘I know something scary is coming, but if I’m not looking directly at it, it won’t be as bad. And in some ways, it made me think of The Babadook.” That 2014 scare-flick from Australia also featured a creature that lives in dark places, and also suggested an eerie, unsettling bond between monstrous beings and mental illness. “I don’t like to look at these things as message movies,” Langan says. “They are just movies. They are entertainment. But it’s hard to look at something like Lights Out and not see that kind of implication. Madness is like a monster, and sometimes there are not that many ways to escape a monster.” “I would have liked to have seen more of a backstory for the mother character,” I remark, “to see a little more of how her mental problems intersect with Diana’s control of her. But I did find that relationship to be really interesting. And genuinely scary.” Mental illness, of course, is one of those primal fears we often have. It is not too much of a generalization, I think, to suggest that some people are as terrified of the insane as they are afraid of the dark. “And that’s exactly where Lights Out gets some of its juice from,” Langan says. “Darkness is a primal fear, and the film rather masterfully uses it in the way we see Diana’s silhouette, crouching or standing or scratching,

The Tony Award-winning musical ‘City of Angels,’ currently at the San Francisco Playhouse, brings noir to the stage.

THEATER

Seamless show ‘City of Angels’ a huge achievement By Charles Brousse

ast week’s theater column explored the virtues of Ross Valley Players’ Robin Hood, a locally produced, lowpriced, summer entertainment for kids that also could appeal to adults in the family. But, if you’re OK with the kids staying home—or don’t have any, and don’t mind the travel and additional expense, I suggest that you head across the Golden Gate to the San Francisco Playhouse, which just opened its own summer show, City of Angels. Take my word for it—this is live theater at its best: An inspired combination of a sophisticated script and musical score with inventive staging and outstanding performances, backed by one of

the best jazz bands around. The complete package. Yes, I realize that I’m gushing a bit. City of Angels isn’t an icon of Western civilization. But for what it is—a late-stage American musical comedy that broke new ground when it was introduced on Broadway in 1989, and ended up winning no less than six Tony Awards (including the coveted Best Musical)—both the show itself and the quality of the production by a company of this size are huge achievements. Given its illustrious launch and the established reputations of Angel’s original creative team of Cy Coleman (score), David Zippel (lyrics) and Larry Gelbart (book), one wonders

why there have been so few revivals. I think most of the problems derive from the show’s unique structure. Although several major musicals have internal dream sequences—Oklahoma, Carousel and Brigadoon immediately come to mind—none that I know of has two separate stories running simultaneously from beginning to end. One almost mirrors the other, and the protagonists in each have similar names. Stine ( Jeffrey Brian Adams) is a successful fiction writer who is working on a detective novel entitled City of Angels. Stone (Brandon Dahlquist) is the novel’s anti-hero private eye. Against his wife Gabby’s (Caitlan Taylor) advice,

Stine allows himself to be lured to Hollywood by promises of fame and riches by hard-boiled producer Buddy (Ryan Drummond) if he will convert the unfinished fiction into a film noir. To quiet his misgivings about being forced to lower his artistic standards, he’s also promised complete control of the content. That’s where the fur begins to fly as Stine comes face to face with Hollywood’s loose moral code, a process that infects both his screenplay and his personal life. Director Bill English, who doubles as his own scenic designer, makes the continuous transitions feel completely seamless by positioning Stine’s “real” life downstage on the apron, while the movie he’s writing develops in a large upstage false perspective enclosure that has sound designer Theodore J.H. Hulsker’s shifting location projections on its rear wall and old-style film sprocket holes that can be moved up or down as changes require, on either side. Whether called for in the musical’s original script or not, it’s an ingenious answer to the play-withina-play dilemma. As for another of City of Angels’ special production demands, it’s not often that a large-cast musical requires all performers to excel at both singing and acting. But in this case, it’s absolutely essential because the jazzy songs that advance the plot aren’t easy to pull off. Somehow, casting director Lauren English succeeds. There isn’t a weak voice in the entire acting ensemble. The close harmony sung by the group Angel City 4, directed by Dave Dobrusky, is a joy to listen to, and the unseen jazz band provides a lively accompaniment throughout. Besides its high-entertainment quotient, City of Angels transcends the usual noir format by raising important questions about the difficulty of making (and keeping to) moral choices, on screen or off, in environments that reward the opposite. There’s also a nod to the existential isolation that Stine and his alter ego Stone feel. And there’s even a philosophical undertone about whether art mimics life, or vice versa. As I said earlier, it’s the complete package.Y NOW PLAYING: City of Angels runs through September 17 at the San Francisco Playhouse, 450 Post St., San Francisco; 415/677-9596; sfplayhouse.org.

Mindful notes Uncharted Slow-motion opening for Blue Note space in Napa By Charlie Swanson

bout this time last year, Napa restaurant and live music venue City Winery announced that it was cutting ties with its downtown location at the historic Napa Valley Opera House amid reports of underwhelming cuisine and under-attended concerts. That news was followed with word six months ago that another popular franchising venue, the Blue Note jazz club out of New York City, was in talks to take over the space by the summer of 2016. Now, with summer firmly here, Blue Note is indeed planting roots in Napa, though it’s taking the slow and steady approach. “The experience goes back a number a years,” says Blue Note managing director Ken Tesler. Having worked with Blue Note’s founding family, the Bensusans, for the last decade, Tesler first got the idea to bring the club—which also has locations in Hawaii, Japan and Italy—to Napa Valley during a winetasting trip nearly four years ago. “I fell in love with the region,” Tesler says. “For a good three years, I took my time learning this area and this market. I was determined to put the right business model together.” Tesler sought out friend and fivestar hotel and restaurant manager Jeroen Gerrese. “He has tremendous restaurant management experience, and I have the music experience,”

Tesler says. The partners looked at properties throughout Napa Valley before the Opera House became available last year. When word reached them of City Winery’s move, they jumped on it. Tesler moved his family to Napa from the East Coast in April, when contracts were finalized. Since then, he says he and his staff have been “taking our time, making sure we do things correctly.” The plan for the forthcoming Blue Note Napa is to turn the Opera House’s first floor restaurant into a 150-seat supper club featuring nightly live music from a roster of acclaimed jazz artists spanning the genre and beyond. “We want a little of that intimate New York jazz-club vibe,” Tesler says. “And we want it to meet Napa Valley, to have the best of both worlds.” The second-floor theater, which holds upwards of 600 people standing, will remain the historic Opera House Ballroom, with Blue Note opening the space to other local promoters and events like the BottleRock Napa Valley after-shows that happened there last May. While there is no opening date yet, Tesler expects Blue Note Napa to take off by early fall. “You only get one shot to hit it out of the park,” Tesler says. “When we open our doors, we have got to show people we can do it right.”Y

New ‘Star Trek’ film puts crew to the test By Richard von Busack

mong other things, the Enterprise is our own leaky American ship as we love to envision her, stuffed with benign, theatrically accented foreigners all pulling together. “My wee Scottish gran said, ‘You can’t break a stick in a bundle,’” says Scotty (co-scriptwriter Simon Pegg) in Star Trek Beyond. Star Trek Beyond comes out of the gate funny, like one of Keith Laumer’s Retief novels: Kirk (Chris Pine), a one-man diplomatic delegation, tries to return an unwanted cultural artifact to a planet of angry gargoyles. It’s his 966th day in deep space. Waiting for them at Starbase Yorktown is an emergency. A female ship’s captain seeks rescue for her trapped crewmembers, left behind on an uncharted planet behind a formidable belt of asteroids. Too bad it’s the wrong franchise, because Admiral Ackbar could have warned the Enterprise. When it arrives for the rescue, the great ship is ripped to pieces by an enormous fleet of spiky fighter pods. A shipwrecked Spock (softfaced Zachary Quinto) himself is badly injured. Help arrives from a

mighty spacewoman, Jaylah (Sofia Boutella). With black terrapin stripes on her clown-white face, she looks like ’60s star Ursula Andress done up by H. R. Giger. The lord of the planet is a two-legged iguana called Krall (Idris Elba). He’s minor as Star Trek villains go, but he fills the resume: An asthmatic heavy breather, who growls ‘r’s in the name “Kirrrrrrrrrrk.” Justin Lin, of The Fast and the Furious series, brings in collisions and physics-defying fights in 3D space, in front of a rotating and revolving camera. He also weaponizes items of late-20th century coolness, such as the Beastie Boys’ music and motorcycles. The movie is sworn to fun. And it delivers amusement, with lastsecond transporter rescues, and the long-legged Jaylah pouring herself all over the captain’s chair. Strange then that the most emotional moment in the film comes from the old days, with the new Spock contemplating a relic of the old Spock—a posed photo of a group of portly men and one woman, in polyester and turtlenecks. That photo is something that this movie isn’t, in one word: Touching.Y

For more information visit our website tamalpais.shambhala.org MARIN’S LOSS AND GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP FOR WOMEN AND MEN, 8 Weeks with Option to Continue, Day or Evening. Death of someone close, a major loss, is often a deeply painful process to navigate, perhaps more so in our society as we collectively appear to avoid and distance ourselves from this inevitable part of life. Each person has her/his own way of grieving and healing with no “right”/“wrong”/ “should” experience. Over time, the hurt and emptiness inside can fill, understanding deepen, and one can gradually create a meaningful life without the physical presence of the departed. This is a safe, supportive group in which to grieve, understand “normal” responses in the grieving process, learn how others have coped, gain relief from painful feelings and hope for the future. It provides opportunities to receive mutual support and acknowledgement, connect with others, and take steps in healing. Facilitated by Colleen Russell, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC29249), Certified Group Psychotherapist, and Certified Grief Counselor with over 25 years of experience in private practice. Colleen also has developed and facilitates the following on-going groups: Group for Motherless Daughters (women who have lost their mothers due to death, illness, separation, or estrangement); Group for Former Members of High Demand Groups; Group for Women. She offers individual, couple, family sessions and workshops. For Further Information and questions, Contact Colleen at 415785-3513 or crussellmft@earthlink.net. Website: www.colleenrussellmft.com.

A female friend overheard me on the phone with my boyfriend and became concerned. He and I tease each other relentlessly, calling each other mean silly names, but it’s all in fun. Though we have a very loving relationship, she thinks the teasing is a sign of submerged anger. Is she right? And are we doing something damaging?—Banterer

Yesterday, on the phone with my boyfriend, I had to ask him to repeat something he’d just said because I’d become briefly mesmerized by a big fern shimmying in the breeze. No, sadly, I wasn’t all, “Sorry, I missed that bit because my couch caught fire.” The man was competing for my attention with a plant. It isn’t that he’s boring. I have ADHD—attention-defici … sorry, what was I saying? And in our relationship, as in yours, teasing plays a big role. So when my boyfriend has something important to tell me, he’ll sometimes prepare me (with a line that always makes me laugh): “Do I have your divided attention?” Teasing like this is what social psychologist Dacher Keltner calls an “indirect, playful way to negotiate conflict.” This is especially important in a relationship, where there are many conflicts and annoyances you’ll never resolve. In mine, for example, in addition to my mid-sentence day-trips to the Baltics, there’s how my boyfriend seems to have attended the Jackson Pollock school of culinary arts. Or, as I put it—while cupping an ear theatrically and looking upward: “What’s that? … Um … honey, the ceiling says it ordered its sauce on the side.” Teasing is like bullying, Keltner explains—in that it’s something you say or do that’s intended to provoke another person. However, teasing includes clues that what you’re saying isn’t to be taken literally—and that your intent is playful, not hurtful. These playfulness signals are called “off-record markers” and include laughter, obvious exaggeration, a jokey tone, mimicry and contorted facial expressions. As for the concern that your teasing is endangering your relationship, on the contrary, Keltner and his colleagues found that “couples who playfully teased, as opposed to resorting to direct, cogent, but ultimately hackle-raising criticism, felt more connected after (a) conflict and trusted their partners more.” And the reality is that only two people who truly love each other can get away with trash-talking each other in extravagantly awful ways. This is an example of what behavioral ecologists call a “costly signal”—one that, through its expense or riskiness, tells you that it’s more likely to be for real. Conspicuous consumption is an example—signaling that you’ve got money to burn by shelling out $8K for a Rolex when a $50 Swatch tells the time just fine. So, sure, there are many ways to express romantic appreciation, but it’s nice to opt for something unique, like, “What a wonderful love note—made all the sweeter by handwriting that looks like that of an 8-year-old locked up after multiple disappearances of neighborhood pets.”

My boyfriend recently got laid off and lost a bunch of money in stocks. Yesterday, feeling blue, he said, “Can’t anything good happen for me?” (Gee, thanks. Guess I’m nothing good.) I know he’s talking about financial and career stuff, but we have something pretty special together. Why is he focusing on the bad stuff and not appreciating the good? Money isn’t everything.—Undervalued

A guy likes to have a way to buy his woman dinner that doesn’t involve a ski mask and a sawed-off shotgun. No, money isn’t everything, but that can be difficult to remember while panicking that you’ll soon be raiding the market share of the wino on the corner begging for change. Also, because women evolved to go for men with status (a cue for the ability to provide) and men coevolved to recognize this, it can be especially hard on a man when his career trajectory goes from riches to rags. However, emotions are—at root—behavior management tools, and the feel-bad that comes with a loss in status pushes a man to go out and get a new job and make new investments. Without that motivation, that couch in Grandma’s basement can start looking like an extremely attractive place to be from 9 to 5. And 5 to 9: “Yo, Gram, can you throw down another bag of Doritos?” What you can do is be fierce in telling your boyfriend why you believe in him and about all the things you respect and admire in him (especially those that employers will also respect and admire). This is the sort of “appreciating the good” that he needs—especially if he gets to the point where he’s driving a brand-new Tesla but only until he gets a $2 tip for bringing it back to the guy who owns it.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

For the week of July 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Free your body.

Don’t ruminate and agonize about it. FREE YOUR BODY! Be brave and forceful. Do it simply and easily. Free your gorgeously imperfect, wildly intelligent body. Allow it to be itself in all of its glory. Tell it you’re ready to learn more of its secrets and adore its mysteries. Be in awe of its unfathomable power to endlessly carry out the millions of chemical reactions that keep you alive and thriving. How can you not be overwhelmed with gratitude for your hungry, curious, unpredictable body? Be grateful for its magic. Love the blessings it bestows on you. Celebrate its fierce animal elegance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The people

of many cultures have imagined the sun god as possessing masculine qualities. But in some traditions, the Mighty Father is incomplete without the revitalizing energies of the Divine Mother. The Maoris, for example, believe that every night the solar deity has to marinate in her nourishing uterine bath. Otherwise she wouldn’t be strong enough to rise in the morning. And how does this apply to you? Well, you currently have resemblances to the weary old sun as it dips below the horizon. I suspect that it’s time to recharge your powers through an extended immersion in the deep, dark waters of the primal feminine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An Interesting Opportunity is definitely in your vicinity. It may slink tantalizingly close to you in the coming days, even whisper your name from afar. But I doubt that it will knock on your door. It probably won’t call you seven times on the phone or flash you a big smile or send you an engraved invitation. So you should make yourself alert for the Interesting Opportunity’s unobtrusive behavior. It could be a bit shy or secretive or modest. Once you notice it, you may have to come on strong—you know, talk to it sweetly or ply it with treats. CANCER (June 21-July 22): [Editor’s note: The counsel offered in the following oracle was channeled from the Goddess by Rob Brezsny. If you have any problems with it, direct your protests to the Queen Wow, not Brezsny.] It’s time to get more earthy and practical about practicing your high ideals and spiritual values. Translate your loftiest intentions into your most intimate behavior. Ask yourself, “How does Goddess want me to respond when my co-worker pisses me off ?” or “How would Goddess like me to brush my teeth and watch TV and make love?” For extra credit, get a T-shirt that says, “Goddess was my co-pilot, but we crash-landed in the wilderness and I was forced to eat her.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For many years,

my occupation was “starving artist.” I focused on improving my skills as a writer and musician, even though those activities rarely earned me any money. To ensure my survival, I worked as little as necessary at low-end jobs—scrubbing dishes at restaurants, digging ditches for construction companies, delivering newspapers in the middle of the night and volunteering for medical experiments. During the long hours spent doing tasks that had little meaning to me, I worked diligently to remain upbeat. One trick that worked well was imagining future scenes when I would be engaged in exciting creative work that paid me a decent wage. It took a while, but eventually those visions materialized in my actual life. I urge you to try this strategy in the coming months, Libra. Harness your mind’s eye in the service of generating the destiny you want to inhabit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have every right to celebrate your own personal Independence Day sometime soon. In fact, given the current astrological omens, you’d be justified in embarking on a full-scale emancipation spree in the coming weeks. It will be prime time to seize more freedom and declare more autonomy and build more selfsufficiency. Here’s an important nuance to the work you have ahead of you: Make sure you escape the tyranny of not just the people and institutions that limit your sovereignty, but also the voices in your own head that tend to hinder your flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Of all the forbidden fruits that you fantasize about, which one is your favorite? Among the intriguing places that you consider to be outside of your comfort zone, which might inspire you to redefine the meaning of “comfort?” The coming weeks will be a favorable time to reconfigure your relationship with these potential catalysts. And while you’re out on the frontier dreaming of fun experiments, you might also want to flirt with other wild cards and strange attractors. Life is in the mood to tickle you with useful surprises. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have a

special talent for accessing wise innocence. In some ways you’re virginal, fresh and raw, and in other ways you’re mature, seasoned and well developed. I hope that you will regard this not as a confusing paradox but rather as an exotic strength. With your inner child and your inner mentor working in tandem, you could accomplish heroic feats of healing. Their brilliant collaboration could also lead to the mending of an old rift.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be alert for white

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Where is everybody when I need them?” Even if you haven’t actually spoken those words recently, I’m guessing that the voices in your head have whispered them. But from what I can tell, that complaint will soon be irrelevant. It will no longer match reality. Your allies will start offering more help and resources. They may not be perfectly conscientious in figuring out how to be of service, but they’ll be pretty good. Here’s what you can do to encourage optimal results: 1. Purge your low, outmoded expectations. 2. Open your mind and heart to the possibility that people can change. 3. Humbly ask—out loud, not just in the privacy of your imagination—for precisely what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have just begun your big test. How are you doing so far? According to my analysis, the preliminary signs suggest that you have a good chance of proving the old maxim, “If it doesn’t make you so crazy that you put your clothes on inside-out and try to kiss the sky until you cry, it will help you win one of your biggest arguments with life.” In fact, I suspect we will ultimately see you undergo at least one miraculous and certifiably melodramatic transformation. A wart on your attitude could dissolve, for example. A luminous visitation may heal one of your blind spots. You might find a satisfactory substitute for kissing the sky.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Millions of

feathers gliding on the wind. Before eating potato chips, examine each one to see if it bears a likeness of Rihanna or the Virgin Mary. Keep an eye out, too, for portents like robots wearing dreadlocked wigs or antique gold buttons lying in the gutter or senior citizens cursing at invisible martians. The appearance of anomalies like these will be omens that suggest you will soon be the recipient of crazy good fortune. But if you would rather not wait around for chance events to trigger your good luck, simply make it your fierce intention to generate it. Use your optimism-fueled willpower and your flair for creative improvisation. You will have abundant access to these talents in the coming weeks.

Pisceans less fortunate than you won’t read this horoscope. Uninformed about the rocky patch of Yellow Brick Road that lies just ahead, they may blow a gasket or get a flat tire. You, on the other hand, will benefit from my oracular foreshadowing, as well as my inside connections with the Lords of Funky Karma. You will therefore be likely to drive with relaxed caution, keeping your vehicle unmarred in the process. That’s why I’m predicting that although you may not arrive speedily at the next leg of your trip, you will do so safely and in style.Y
