Rhapsodies Tell Your Birth Control Story BY CYNTHIA TUTTELMAN

t’s time for ﬂower geezers and feminist grannies to speak out about life before the birth control pill and Roe v. Wade. Young people today either take their reproductive rights for granted or are too busy trying to ﬁnd a job and pay their college loans to consider the issue. Before the supremes march us back to the Dark Ages, we should educate the young about what sex was like before access to birth control and safe abortion. Young gay men and women can go online today and hear countless people of all backgrounds tell them how “it gets better.” If you’re older than a certain age, you might remember when people didn’t openly discuss cancer. In a world of pink ribbons and threeday marches, we no longer need the euphemism of “dying after a long illness.” We are bombarded with commercials for erectile dysfunction, yet we still haven’t normalized the open discussion of birth control and abortion. We aging boomers have spent too much time sharing tales of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll, and not enough talking about life before reliable birth control and legal abortion. How many young people of today know the story of Sherri Finkbine? She was unwittingly exposed to Thalidomide while pregnant in 1962 and was unable to obtain an abortion in the United States. She traveled to Sweden for one but lost her job as the TV host of Romper Room as a result. Those of us in our 60s, 70s and 80s have stories of searching for a back-alley abortion, of friends who died of septicemia afterwards, or who were forced into marriage or homes for unwed mothers, or who were unable to pursue careers or education because of the inability to control pregnancy while still having a sexual life. Don’t let this shameful history repeat itself. Help reduce the stigma around this conversation. Sit down with your grandchildren and watch the excellent documentary When Abortion Was Illegal: Untold Stories. If you’re a young person, ask your grandparents about birth control in their day. Grandparents, give the gift of your own history. Go to Storycorps. org and record your story. Don’t focus on politics; your personal testimony is more powerful. If you can’t say it out loud, at least write it down. Don’t let your story be forgotten; bear witness instead. Cynthia Tuttelman is a retired physician living in Petaluma. Open Mic is a weekly feature in the ‘Bohemian.’ We welcome your contribution. To have your topical essay of 350 words considered for publication, write openmic@bohemian.com.

Rhyming and Stealing

Dylanologists (“Dylan Covers London,” July 30), amateur and professional, might do well to check out a line plagiarized from Dylan by the Old Crow Medicine Show. (They might ﬁrst check out John Prine’s “Muhlenberg County”: “Daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County . . . / Mr. Peabody’s coal train done hauled it away.”) Supposedly, Dylan’s manager gave it to Old Crow, who now have their second hit with a Dylan rewrite. The questions are: What did Dylan send them? What year did John Prine write his great song? Old Crow deﬁnitely have released a song with a different chorus, but the writeovers from Prine’s to Dylan’s lyrics are mighty thin. The protagonist in “Sweet Amarillo” comes down from the “Mesabi Iron ore range” in place of “the Green River where Paradise lay,” where John Prine’s singer wishes to return. Give them both a listen and hear how the timing and placement of phrases and tune in each song overlaps and dovetails.

JOEY CONNOLLY Via online

They’re only words, the dictionary is full of them, pick some. “Cave dweller,” really? I bet if you ran all of John Grisham or Stephen King’s books through the right computer, it would turn out they stole it all from Bob Dylan. Some people have too much time on their hands.

MICHAEL MAXWELL Via online

First off, nobody is a bigger Bob Dylan fan than I am, but as the article suggest, swiping tidbits or parts of sentences from someone else’s book is nothing new. Years ago, Paul McCartney, although he was referring to music, claimed that everybody pinched from everybody else. Years ago, Dylan himself made the point that (I’m paraphrasing)

“all the great books have been written and all the great songs have been sung.” There are only 12 notes and 26 letters in the alphabet that I know of, so it’s pretty damn hard for anyone to be completely original.

The thing of it is, I’m sure that Bobby wouldn’t dig it if anybody lifted any of his stuff word for word, so why not just give the credit when and where it’s due? But I do believe plagiarism is different; it’s the taking of another’s idea and calling it your own. Now that’s stealing.

DAVID DALE Sonoma

Diverse or Not? “Rohnert Park, a city not known for its diversity” (“Chewy Tea,” July 23)—where have you been hanging out, Nicolas Grizzle? I’ve been reading and enjoying your point of view for quite a while now, but have to argue with you about this seemingly gratuitous and erroneous remark. As a former resident, and still a property owner in Rohnert Park, I ﬁnd it to be one of the most diverse parts of Sonoma County, which is not known for its diversity. And I’m not talking about our frequent count of Latino families. I’m talking about a variety of ethnicities, visibly different from the white majority, black folks, Asian folks and brown folks too. It was one of the features of Rohnert Park that gave me some real satisfaction.

Antibiotics and Animals Right now animals all over the U.S. are being fed antibiotics on a regular basis to prevent illness. The World Health Organization recently warned that, due to this overuse of antibiotics, strains of bacteria are being created with the ability to resist the effects of our most powerful antibiotics.

preemptive methods, we can slow the speed at which these bacteria develop immunities. At this moment, up to 80 percent of all antibiotics in the U.S. are sold for livestock, not for people. The government needs to introduce legislation that prohibits this drug abuse on farms. If we don’t act now, we will lose our ability to treat common illnesses like pneumonia, meningitis and infections from minor cuts.

Dept. of Corrections In last week’s news story, “The New Deal,” we incorrectly reported that Station Casinos closed casinos in the wake of the 2007 recession. The article also stated that Station Casinos was sued by UNITE HERE organizers in 2010. The union ﬁled charges against Station Casinos with the National Labor Relations Board that year. The piece should also have noted that Station

Casinos came out of bankruptcy in 2011. Also, in last week’s cover story, “Dylan Covers London,” we incorrectly reported the name of the journal that ran Scott Warmuth’s essay, and the title of the essay. The essay ran in the New Haven Review, not the New Haven Register, and it was called “Bob Charlatan.” Also, Warmuth lives in New Mexico, not Arizona, as we mistakenly reported. Finally, in our Small Bites column last week, we mistakenly reported that the Laguna Fest is being held this year on Aug. 17 at Sebastopol’s Laguna Farm. The 2013 festival was on Aug. 17—and there won’t be one this year. Whoops. “We have decided to focus our efforts and energy into developing agri-tourisim, hosting Farm Tours throughout the season, rather than concentrating on one day,” says the farm’s Mari Levin. We regret the errors.

Paper THE

DEBR IEFER Stop the Press Sonoma County violated county and state laws when it approved a 60,000-square-foot expansion of a printing press at a Buddhist retreat in rural Cazadero, say a group of residents who filed suit against the county July 24. “They need to have an [environmental impact report] to determine whether or not this printing plant should even be there,” says Coastal Hills Rural Preservation member Ward Anderson. The county? “We’re confident in the legality of the board’s decision,” says Sonoma County deputy counsel Verne Ball. The lawsuit cites a Timber Cover Fire District concern that firefighters aren’t equipped to handle a large emergency at an expanded Dharma Publishing facility at Ratna Ling Retreat. The county gave final approval to an industrial-use permit in late June; it allows for up to 122 people to live and work at Ratna Ling. The mission: print sacred Buddhist texts for distribution to Tibetan monasteries.

Guerneville–based upstart carves an affordable niche in the new world of 3-D printing BY DAN BECKER

‘

t’s so transformative to design something on the computer, and then be able to make it into a real object,” says 23-year-old Bar Smith, inventor of what could be the world’s most affordable CNC router. Operating like an automated sculptor, Smith’s CNC (computer numerical control) device allows

people to carve items out of raw materials like wood, plastic, foam and brick after they’ve designed the desired piece on a computer. Similar to a 3-D printer, which lays down materials and builds pieces from the ground up with lasers, a CNC router uses metal bits to whittle material into the desired shape. The router can create both two- and threedimensional pieces, “so there is an unlimited number of things you

can make,” says Smith, who moved to Guerneville after graduating from UC Santa Cruz this year. The desktop device could be used to carve phone cases, chess boards, nameplates—just about anything from material soft enough that it can be cut and small enough to ﬁt on the machine’s working surface, Smith says. The biggest draw: affordability. Smith’s router costs less than $200, putting it at a ) 10

Opponents point to a dangerous combo: rural facility, many employees, small FD. “If you’ve got a ﬁre, you’ve got 120 people heading in the other direction,” says Anderson. Access to the site is limited to one-way lanes in each direction. Expect a ﬁght in county court within six months. “Cases settle quite frequently, but there hasn’t been any discussion in this case,” says Ball. “The applicant and neighbors are very adversarial.” —Nicolas Grizzle

tenth of the price of machines with similar capabilities—a big accomplishment for a 23-year-old and his friends. The invention has been met with global enthusiasm, and in May, Makesmith CNC (the start-up Smith founded with Thomas Beckett), garnered 800 percent of its Kickstarter funding goal. That’s a long way from a couple of years ago, when Smith, a Mill Valley native, was a soft-spoken engineering student with shaggy blond hair who wanted to turn computer models into physical objects.

His budget, Smith soon found, was too tight for the ambition. The story of how he ended up with $80,000 to distribute his invention to engineers, hobbyists and designers is a testament to patient perseverance. As he searched the internet a couple of years ago to research his project, Smith realized he would have a hard time affording the parts to build the machine he wanted, let alone purchase a fully assembled device. The budgetary conﬁnes forced him to economize on his project in a way pro designers are not familiar with, he says. Given Smith’s modest ﬁnancial

means, many people, and even some professors, scoffed at his idea to build a CNC router, Smith recalls. He brushed them off. “Anytime you’re doing something that no one’s done before, people just assume that it hasn’t been done because it can’t be done,” Smith says. “In the first year, I thought, ‘Well, I probably can’t build the whole machine, but I can at least prove that I was right about this specific part being possible,’” Smith says. “And then someone would be like, ‘Well, this next part won’t work.’ And I thought, ‘OK, well, I’ll make that part work just to win that argument.’” As Smith worked, he realized he was getting close to a fully built homemade CNC router. He plowed on and finished the job, and figured he would build routers for himself and a few friends. “Then I thought, ‘Well, maybe we should do a Kickstarter—then we could make a lot of them,’” Smith says. Smith consulted Beckett, his housemate and fellow student at the time, and the two sketched out a business plan. One morning, the partners posted a listing on Kickstarter and set a $10,000 goal to fund the purchase of two laser cutters. Beckett then went to work. “I got back nine hours later and our project was funded,” Beckett says. The Kickstarter campaign eventually attracted 400 backers from about 40 countries, who contributed more than $80,000. Two weeks ago, the partners picked up a pair of laser cutters at the port of Los Angeles. Now they’re geared up to manufacture CNC router kits and ship them to Kickstarter backers who pledged $195 and up. “We’re trying to keep up with the people who want [the router],” says Justin Beirold, a former Cabrillo student now at UC Berkeley who is also doing marketing for Makesmith. “At this point, we’re not even trying to attract people to our product,” says Beirold. “Right now, people are just coming to us, like, ‘This is awesome, I want one!’”

his role on the board of Sonoma Clean Power (SCP). County supervisor David Rabbit recommended on Aug. 5 that Carrillo become the alternate to Susan Gorin, who remains the county’s representative in the multi-municipality SCP venture. The vote was taken after our Tuesday deadline, but several factors pointed to its approval (an updated story can be found online at Bohemian.com). The county needs to make room for Cloverdale vice-mayor Bob Cox, after that city voted to join SCP last month. Carrillo was appointed to SCP in February, but has faced numerous calls to step down. In June, the Santa Rosa city council called for Carrillo’s removal after utility customers reported they were opting out of SCP because of him. SCP spokesperson Kate Kelly says the decision doesn’t necessarily have to do with the controversy surrounding Carrillo. “If I had to guess, I would say that Susan Gorin is our chairwoman—and I think that it would be unlikely to unseat the chair,” she says. Petaluma and Rohnert Park are the last holdouts to join SCP and have until January to decide. “We hear that both of them are going to be considering it later this fall,” says Kelly.—Nicolas Grizzle

SWEET AND SOUR POWER SHED’s Ryan Birre prepares a shrub at the restaurant’s ‘fermentation bar.’

Shrub Love The old-fashioned drink is all the rage

he beverage world is a notoriously trendy one (see energy drinks, bubble tea, kombucha), but who saw a powdered-wig-era drink storming the scene? And one made with a healthy dose of vinegar, no less. Shrubs are the buzzworthy bevy of 2014, a fruit-and-vinegar-based drink that dates back to colonial

times. Shrub is derived from the Arabic word sharbah, which means “a drink”; “sherbet” and “syrup” also stem from the word. A modern-day shrub isn’t a drink in itself but a syrup to which you add sparkling or still water. The vinegar helps preserve the syrup and adds a tart component to what could otherwise be a cloying drink. Healdsburg’s SHED was one of the ﬁrst restaurants to offer shrubs in the North Bay. They’re served

BY STETT HOLBROOK at the “fermentation bar,” along with beer, wine, kombucha and water keﬁr. Though not all shrubs are fermented, Gillian Helquist, SHED’s food and beverage manager and resident shrub maker, let’s hers ferment for two to three days. “I’ve been really blown away by how many people are looking for shrubs,” she says. Helquist likes to pair the fruit with complementary herbs and spices. Vegetables can work too.

The best I tried was a carrotcoriander shrub made with ricewine vinegar. Coriander is related to the carrot, so the two meld well. She also made a great peachlemon verbena shrub spiked with Champagne vinegar. SHED shrubs go for $4. Some customers she’s met call shrubs “farmers’ lemonade,” a drink made from whatever fresh fruit is in abundance and needs to get used up before it gets too ripe. Other customers from the Midwest and Texas say they like to add bourbon to theirs. Vodka or rum would be good too. But at its best a shrub is about enjoying and extending the life of seasonal fruit. The sugar and vinegar in the drink means it will keep in the refrigerator for up to six months, so you can enjoy a taste of summer well into winter. “Shrubs for me are about utilizing what fruit is abundant and on its way out,” says Helquist. “It’s a form of preservation.” Making your own shrub is easy. Start with a pound of ripe (or even overripe) fruit. Peaches, blackberries and strawberries are particularly good right now. Wash and quarter the fruit (blackberries don’t need to be cut) and place in a large bowl. Add one to two cups of sugar, depending on how sweet you want it. Work the sugar in with your hands, but not so much the fruit becomes a pulp. Helquist recommends a pinch of salt to accent ﬂavors, which will also help draw out liquid. Let the mixture macerate on the counter for two to three days, stirring a few times a day. You want it to start to ferment, and you’ll see bubbles start to appear. Next, add your vinegar of choice. Rice wine and white wine vinegar are light and somewhat neutral. Sherry and balsamic vinegar will add their own ﬂavors. After adding the vinegar, combine and strain the mixture, and store in a bottle. Then pour a little of your shrub into a glass and top with water and ice, and enjoy.

Beer Dinner Baeltane Brewing has teamed up with HopMonk Tavern Novato for a night of artisanal suds and plates of paired offerings from the HopMonk kitchen. Let’s skip right to the “Finale”: the dish artfully brings breakfast and dinner staples to a whole other level; it’s not a savory, but it is a quasi-dessert, if seen in a certain, pieeyed light. That’s already too much information, for now—so let these be a gentle and delicious distraction. The Baeltane beer dinner opens with a schnozzle of the Novato brewer’s signature Biere de Gardinere. A proper appetizer pairing follows, grilled cantaloupe with prosciutto and blue cheese with the Novato brewer’s “Venus in Blue Jeans,” a strong Belgian ale. A seafood manicotti swims with another Belgian-style concoction, the Fleuret ale, and the Black Spot porter is a stoutly pal of the charred flank steak entrée that’s served with some freakin’ carrots and a petite spinach, feta and beet salad. Yum. Burp. The dinner is Aug. 24 at the HopMonk Tavern, 224 Vintage Way, Novato; $65 covers everything. including tax and gratuity. But does that really cover everything? Ah, the “Finale”! Brew-diners will imbibe the brewer’s Beleriand Barleywine beer. Say it three times fast before you plow into those crispy-fried chicken wings over buckwheat waffles.—Tom Gogola

Tofanelli Family Vineyards wasn’t born to follow BY JAMES KNIGHT

any a self-styled Napa Valley rancher, rusticating after a corporate career, might like to have Vince Tofanelli’s look. Perched on the tailgate of a vintage Toyota Land Cruiser at the edge of a vineyard, wearing a straw hat over wavy gray hair, Tofanelli could be a hippie farmer or veteran blues man, but mostly looks the part of the thirdgeneration grape grower that he is.

Not many would envy the look of his vineyard. Instead of Cabernet Sauvignon neatly confined by miles of steel and wire, dry-farmed, head-trained vines sprawl every which way. Established by Vince’s grandparents, Sebastian and Irene DiGiulio, in 1929, the ranch is planted in Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Charbono, with idiosyncratic patches of Grenache and Burger, and the odd Cinsault in between. When the new regime rolled up old vineyards like this, Tofanelli’s land became an island, a living museum. For him, doing something radically different meant staying exactly where he was, becoming its curator. “This was the time of Earth Day, of back to the land,” Tofanelli explains, reflecting on his grandparents, who had always lived on the land, with a milk cow and chickens in the yard. “They didn’t have a word for organic, but they were living it.” No Napa origin story being complete without an André Tchelistcheff cameo, it was the maestro who advised Tofanelli to plant Charbono, of all things, when it was about as fashionable as disco. Tofanelli’s 2012 Charbono ($40) has exotic aromas of spice, ripe arbor grapes and fig, and a characteristic standoff between acidity and tannin that makes Charbono an interesting guest at the dinner table. Brimming with olallieberry wine and boysenberry fruit flavor, with fresh tobacco notes, the 2011 Zinfandel ($35) is plush and toasty, without heat. The photograph on the label shows Irene, gamely posing on the 1915 Harley Davidson that the couple rode to San Francisco to elope. Tofanelli shares a tasting room in Calistoga with Barlow, Hindsight, Kenefick Ranch and Zacherle, where you may taste at the bar, or buy the 2013 Sémillon ($28) by the glass and hang out in the courtyard out back. With a savor of ground Herbes de Provence, the 2012 Grenache ($40) smacks of licorice and strawberry; it’s lively, bright and earthy. It’s nice to find that for his efforts, Tofanelli is not only preserving historical curiosities, but is also offering delicious wines that are anything but rustic. Up Valley Vintners, 1371 Lincoln Ave., Calistoga. Monday– Thursday, noon–6pm; Friday–Sunday, noon–8pm. Wines by flight, glass and half glass. $15, by appointment for all Tofanelli wines plus Vince. 707.942.1004.

Just South of Heaven The makings of Craig Ahart’s classic hot rod shop

BY GOLI MOHAMMADI | PHOTOGRAPHS BY GREGORY HAYES

ucked neatly behind one of the lush curves on Burnside Road in Sebastopol lies the unexpected: a big, badass custom shop called South of Heaven. Owned and operated by Craig Ahart, the 3,000-square-foot shop is housed in a massive two-story barn that he hand-built about 11 years ago, with a speciﬁc eye toward making it appear as vintage as the classic cars he specializes in modifying.

For 38-year-old Ahart, the devil is in the details, and custom means custom everything. No detail is too small to go unnoticed, and he’s been known to spend hours on something as minor as a mirror bracket, just to get the right lines. And it shows. While Sonoma County has no

shortage of classic cars, Ahart’s designs are recognizably unique, a perfect blend of appreciation for traditional lines, the unmistakable inﬂuence of low-rider culture and his signature style. The works of art rolling out of South of Heaven may not ) 20 bear the candy-coated,

ﬂashy look of mainstream hot rods, but they’re no less eyecatching. Ahart describes the shop’s style as “low-budget hot rods” and aims to build “a car you own, not that owns you.” “There are a lot of older cars out there you don’t ever see,” he notes. To Ahart, if you can’t enjoy driving your car because you’re too busy preserving it, that takes the fun out of it. Now 20 years into the game, this self-taught artisan has made a name for himself. His cars have won awards and graced the pages of hot-rod magazines. Ahart’s passion for the build developed early in life, and he largely credits his grandfather, electrical engineer Jack Ghilardi. “My mentor is this guy right here,” Ahart gestures toward a framed picture, each ﬁnger of his right hand bearing a tattooed spark plug. He adds, “He was

basically my dad. He was the nicest guy ever.” Ghilardi bought Ahart power tools when he was 10 and taught him how to use them. “Instead of toys and stuff, he’d show up with a stack of lumber,” Ahart reminisces, “and he just knew what I wanted.” Though his grandfather’s main hobby was ﬁshing, he did have an affinity for cars, having built a Model T from scratch as a young man. Ahart recalls Ghilardi tasking him with painting a ’68 Plymouth Barracuda, only to gift it to him. Much to Ghilardi’s dismay, his grandson turned down the gift; Ahart knew early on that muscle cars were not the type of classic vehicle that fueled his ﬁre.

Learning by Doing Raised by his mother in Marysville, Calif., Ahart never had much money growing up. “It was

The Cost of Custom The biggest challenge in the business, according to Ahart, is that people often underestimate the cost of a custom build. “New people are ﬂoored,” he ) 22 says. “They can’t believe

just me and her,” he says, “but she was a badass mom.” He recalls a pivotal moment in his teens when a Mervyn’s ad featuring a little red pickup caught his eye. The truck seemed accessible to him, and he remembers thinking, “I could have something like that.” Ahart started learning by doing, developing unconventional building techniques along the way. “I was really intimidated by cars at first,” he recalls. “I didn’t know the slang of how you talk about things.” Though his friends didn’t work on cars, Ahart became an influence, and they too got involved. Tough times call for tough measures, and though he’s not proud of it, Ahart and his friends “used to rip off junkyards, because we had no money to buy parts.” He started seriously working on cars at the age of 17 and completed his first full build, a

1950 Chevy pickup, at 19. “It was all about how low I could get that tire sucked into that fender—that was my main goal.” When he was 21, Ahart’s mom moved to Bodega Bay, and he rented and lived in her garage. Around the same time, he started working at Coast Auto Body in Bodega with owner Rick Karcher (the shop later moved to Valley Ford), where he met Greg Passalaqua. The two fueled one another, and Passalaqua encouraged Ahart to open his own shop. Ahart decided to give it a try. If it worked, he ﬁgured, great, and if not, he’d end up with a solid workshop. In 2002, Ahart and his mother bought a property on Burnside Road that originally came with a house built in 1936 and a garage, which Ahart turned into a granny unit for his grandmother. He built the workshop space in 2003, and in 2005, South of Heaven was born, outﬁtted with tools that once belonged to Ahart’s and Passalaqua’s grandfathers. Though Passalaqua is no longer involved in the shop, they remain friends. Lifelong builder Jorge Vega, 33, works closely with Ahart at the shop. “I couldn’t do it without him,” says Ahart. Vega shares Ahart’s passion and is driven by seeing their clients get amped by the results they produce. “I’m happy to be part of the journey of making their dreams come true,” says Vega. Their third team member is apprentice Devin Grieb, 26, who is learning from the pros the best way how: by doing everything they don’t want to do. Ahart hopes to one day pass his knowledge on to his two sons, Dallas and Travis, eight and six.

including the hand-built, stylized seat and sissy bar.

how much it costs to do stuff. People familiar with cars at least have an idea.” There’s a difference between getting an estimate for a repair and getting one for custom work. It would be like going to a sculptor, wanting to commission a piece of art, and expecting an estimate. It just doesn’t work that way. “It’s not easy putting a price on some of the things I do,” Ahart says, “because I don’t know how long it’s going to take.” To build a car from scratch takes anywhere from $30,000 to

$50,000; the engine alone can run $12,000. South of Heaven has gotten more into the practice of buying cars than modifying and selling them, but they still do custom work with clients who understand the cost of craftsmanship. In 2011, Ahart founded South of Heaven’s private car club, the Filthies. The club’s 17 members meet once a month in the “clubhouse,” a beautifully handcrafted hangout area Ahart built, complete with a full bar, on the second story of the shop barn. They show off their vehicles

together at car shows and host events, like the upcoming Rods and Kustoms Drive-In on Aug. 23 in Valley Ford, which is open to the public and will feature live bands, a drive-in movie, food, vendors and a pedal-car raffle, in addition to having custom hot rods and motorcycles on display. But make no mistake: the club is not in search of new recruits. Filthies member Bennie Wagers says, “We’re ﬁring, not hiring.” Ahart adds, “We don’t really care to have any more members. You have to know someone and put in time at the shop. You can’t just join.”

Next Up For the future, Ahart wants nothing more than to build more cars. “All I want to do is ﬂood everywhere with hot rods.” But a point of contention for him is the lack of camaraderie between local builders. “I’m not intimidated by any other builders,” he says. “Builders should have no problem with other builders. We all have the same goal of trying to get cooler cars on the road.” Yet he says that on several occasions he was not well received in other

shops. “You can feel that they’re uncomfortable, or something’s wrong,” he says. “I wish it wasn’t like that.” Today, the South of Heaven property has no shortage of nostalgic eye candy. Numerous classic rides in various stages of modification can be seen on the lot, from a stunning 1927 Roadster (that arrived “in a pile for $400”) to the ’34 Plymouth coupe that’s next on Ahart’s list. Of this collection, only two are Ahart’s: a ’54 Cadillac sedan (modded into a two-door convertible) and his “daily

driver,” a ’36 Dodge pickup. And if you’re wondering what his tools of choice are for this level of craftsmanship, the answer is surprisingly simple: big hammers. “A heel dolly and a hammer are the two main things that I use—and a pair of pliers. I use big hammers.” His reputation for being able to precisely shape metal with just hammers precedes him. When asked what his favorite build has been so far, Arhat thinks for a moment and answers, “I don’t feel like I’ve done it yet.”

FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND Wrestler-turned-comedian Mick Foley no longer has to go to the ER after a night’s work.

Laugh Till It Hurts Ex-wrestler Mick Foley shows his funny side BY AARON CARNES

here is a scene in the 1999 wrestling documentary Beyond the Mat, where Mick Foley (aka Mankind), one of the ﬁlm’s main subjects, takes a pretty gruesome beating during one of his matches.

The beating wasn’t unusual, but what’s eye-opening is ﬁnding out—from the behind-the-scenes glimpse of the match—just how real the carnage actually

was. Even more unsettling, the filmmaker taped Foley’s wife and kids’ reaction to the match. They were horrified. The film didn’t just show Foley’s high threshold for pain. It contrasted his crazy stage antics by showing that, off the mat, he is a kindhearted and loving family man who is bright, funny and wellspoken. Now that Foley is retired from wrestling, he’s done a lot more to show his wit and sense of humor. He’s a bestselling author,

comedian and spoken-word artist. “There are laughs to be had even during my most serious matches— even driving in an ambulance after losing an ear in Munich, Germany,” Foley says. “When I’m onstage, I feel very much like I did when I was in the ring, but without the late-night emergency-room visit.” Foley’s career as a wrestler didn’t last much past the release of Beyond the Mat. During routine doctor visits, he was strongly advised that he should quit, or

face potentially life-threatening injuries. In 1999, Foley published the bestselling memoir Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks. He took the opportunity to address politics and current affairs. Foley then tried standup comedy. “I was pretty good. It’s just that when I got to the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, I realized that it might take 20 years to get as good as some of these guys, but even Louis CK couldn’t tell a story about ﬁnishing a match with his tooth stuck in his nose,” Foley says. “As the great Australian comic Brendon Burns put it, ‘Mick’s got the advantage because all of us talk about our day jobs and he had the coolest day job of anyone.’” Two years ago, Foley moved away from a traditional standup style and made it more of a “storytelling” approach. What he’s doing now isn’t much different than what Beyond the Mat did. Foley enjoyed being part of the documentary, though not everyone did—in particular World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Vince McMahon. “He thought it took away people’s ability to enjoy the magic of what we did onscreen,” Foley says. “I always felt like the world behind the scenes was every bit as fascinating, if not more so than what people saw on TV. “I always thought of the WWE the way Dorothy thought of Oz. Some of it was horrible. But most of it was wonderful. It’s a very surreal place.” Mick Foley performs Aug. 9 at 8m at the Phoenix Theater, 201 Washington St., Petaluma. $25. 707.762.3565.

t’s a pig f**k!” That’s how comedian Will Durst described the Edinburgh Fringe Festival back in July when he appeared at Wretch Aid, a fundraiser to help send my one-man show, Wretch Like Me, to the world’s largest theater festival. Durst has appeared here a couple of times.

‘I

I say “here” because I’m writing this column from an outdoor bar at Surgeon’s Hall, in Edinburgh, Scotland, where a band of Sonoma County folks has teamed up to present my show—we’ll present it a total of 14 times. We’ve done the show three times and will certainly need a break now and then because, as Will pointed out, it’s a pig f**k over here in Edinburgh.

Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The city population doubles in size during August, when tens of thousands of theatergoers arrive to catch over a thousand different shows. The competition for audience members is ﬁerce and frenzied—you cannot walk a block without having at least a dozen postcards pressed into your hand. Reviewers work overtime to see as many shows as possible, and their reviews are instantly copied by the hundreds at Fringe Central—the massive space where performers at the festival can rest, use WiFi, grab a snack and use the printers. Pertinent quotes are then cut out and stapled to postcards, which are rushed back out to the sidewalk to be handed out to passersby. Here in Edinburgh, reviews and word-of-mouth are the currency that builds attendance. Still, while some shows draw hundreds of people, others are thrilled to get 10. Acclaimed English storyteller Tim Ralphs dropped in to watch a morning performance of Wretch Like Me. He’s in Edinburgh with a one-man storytelling show, all about the devil, Beelzebub Rebranded. Ralphs stopped me later in the day at Fringe Central. “Oh man, I wanted to get up onstage and dance right along with you at the end!” he told me. “I’m still abuzz from how good your show is!” Team Wretch, which includes Wretch’s Santa Rosa–based director Sheri Lee Miller and stage manager Robin DeLuca, plans to see Ralphs’ devil but we ﬁrst have to push through the crowds to catch Sonoma resident Reed Martin in his Fringe show, The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged). It’s funny to travel 5,000 miles, and still bump into people from back home. For the record, though, I have yet to see any pigs.

PRESTO! Emma Stone and Colin Firth try to keep Woody Allen’s latest ﬁlm from being unwatchable.

Wooden Woody

‘Magic in the Moonlight’ not so magic BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

entimental attachment to Woody Allen’s movies and disgust with trial-by-Twitter make me want to consider Allen’s new ﬁlm, Magic in the Moonlight, outside all the controversy over sexual misconduct now surrounding the director. But unfortunately Moonlight is all about a middle-aged man trying to expose a young girl as a liar.

The main character in this stuffy, creaky comedy is a misanthropic British stage magician named Stanley Crawford (Colin Firth). One day an old friend (Simon McBurney) informs Stanley about a female spiritualist preying on a rich family in the Riviera. When the magician arrives to expose the fraud, the spiritualist, Sophie (Emma Stone), turns out to be a large-eyed slip of a girl from Kalamazoo. Moreover, she seems to be legitimate. The soundtrack flogs a few moldy familiar tunes. Some of them come from Sophie’s boorishly persistent beau, Brice (Hamish Linklater)—very rich, but addicted to bad ukulele playing. It’s surprising how Allen refuses to construct a love triangle sturdy enough not to blow over in the first strong breeze. Stone has the frame for those Jazz Age sheaths, and she makes you wonder if she couldn’t have done a better job as Daisy Buchanan than Carey Mulligan recently did in The Great Gatsby. Firth and Stone keep this minor comedy from unwatchability. Still, Allen has rarely seemed so distracted. Sophie’s ability to talk to the next world immediately challenges Stanley’s disbelief in God. No matter the ultimate outcome of Stanley’s crisis, Magic in the Moonlight is the first Allen movie that gives us a big, old-fashioned prayer scene. It’s hard not to be dismayed by Stanley’s agnostic angst with lines like “I believe that the dignity of man is not enough!” In the context of a bum romance, with no quotable jokes, the open religiousness in this movie makes it seem all the more certain that this film won’t have a prayer. ‘Magic in the Moonlight’ is playing in wide release across the North Bay.

MUSICAL MUSE Music is magic in a modern world, says songwriter Jesse DeNatale.

Soul Power

Jesse DeNatale headlines benefit show in Point Reyes BY CHARLIE SWANSON

meet singer and songwriter Jesse DeNatale at Wildwood Cafe in Graton for coffee. By the time our cups arrive, we’re already steeped in a discussion about the philosophical nature of music. “It’s magic in a modern world,” says DeNatale. The local musician, now living in Sebastopol, is pondering what he calls a compulsion to document and connect. For DeNatale, music is as essential as food and shelter, a malleable but intangible force he can’t live without. Born in San Francisco, DeNatale is a soulful folk artist who’s been widely praised for his natural crafting of deeply felt, personal stories in the tradition of troubadour artists like Bob

Dylan and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. DeNatale’s two albums, 2003’s Shangri-La West and 2006’s Soul Parade, are adored by critics and fans alike. DeNatale doesn’t currently have plans for a follow-up record, though he continuously writes new material and prefers to engage with live audiences, even performing unannounced to allow unsuspecting crowds to discover his music without preconceived notions. “Sometimes, when you discover a new song, it feels like it discovered you,” says DeNatale. “And maybe sometimes it does.” A longtime North Bay local, DeNatale first lived in Point Reyes Station when he moved from San Francisco, a community he is still closely connected with. “You can fall in love with a place, but it’s the people that keep you there, it’s their joys and struggles you celebrate.” Case in point: This past January, the Porrata-Powell family learned that their youngest child, four-yearold Ezequiel, was diagnosed with a rare cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, and would require chemotherapy. A month later, husband and father Roneil Powell passed away in his sleep. He was only 43. When news of this tragedy reached DeNatale, his immediate impulse was to help. Now, with the generous support of the community, DeNatale is performing a special benefit concert on Sunday, Aug. 10, at Toby’s Feed Barn in the heart of Point Reyes Station. For the show, DeNatale is playing with a full band and has recruited one of his favorite songwriters, Jonathan Richman, to open with drummer Tommy Larkins. Richman is best known for founding the protopunk band Modern Lovers, and his influence is widespread. Beyond the fundraising aspect of the show, DeNatale hopes the show will act as a display of support and solidarity for the Porrata-Powell family, and he guarantees that at the concert there will be at least one song that I will love. “And what’s better than finding that one song?” Jesse DeNatale and Jonathan Richman perform on Sunday, Aug. 10, at Toby’s Feed Barn, 11250 Hwy. 1, Point Reyes Station. 7pm. $20. 415.663.1223.

Rain Dance Jeffrey Halford makes good with new album San Francisco guitarist and songwriter Jeffrey Halford is a blazing blues and roots musician who, with his band the Healers, has crisscrossed the country with national acts and received rave reviews for his scorching, driving R&B. Halford’s latest album, Rainmaker, is a sharp and engaging record of down-home Americana and raucous rock and roll. From the buzzing slide guitars of the rambling “Lost Highway” to the searing organs of “Vinyl” and the surprisingly poignant acoustic ballad “Thunderbird Motel,” the whole record is a compelling, pulsing collection of rugged tunes. Halford channels the dustbowls of the American southwest, the humid plains of the Midwest and the colorful hills of his hometown San Francisco, especially on his foot-stomping ode to the City, “North Beach.” This week, Jeffrey Halford & the Healers make their way to Sonoma County, when KRSH hosts Halford and company on Aug. 7 as part of its Backyard Concert series. Eclectic Marin blues outfit the Tazmanian Devils open the free show. Halford also plays the Sonoma County Fair, Sunday, Aug. 10. Jeffrey Halford & the Healers play on Thursday, Aug. 7, at KRSH, 3565 Standish Ave., Santa Rosa. 6pm. Free. 707.588.9999. —Charlie Swanson

War Revisited Two films look at the beginnings of WWI

It was “the war to end all wars,” and it began 100 years ago this month. In honor of the anniversary of the First World War, the Rialto Cinemas in Sebastopol offers a chance to learn from the Great War through two films that explore its origins. On Aug. 11, Rialto screens the BBC-produced 2014 documentary Royal Cousins at War. The film delves into the relationships between Europe’s greatest powers—Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and King George V of Britain—and the divisions and rivalries that led to the emergence of the alliance system and Germany’s growing isolation. This dramatic retelling concludes with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, largely considered the catalyst for the global conflict. Next, the Rialto screens the political thriller 37 Days on Aug. 13. Also produced by the BBC, this film picks up where Royal Cousins leaves off with a behind-closed-doors account of the days between the Ferdinand’s assassination on June 28 and the declaration of war between Britain and Germany on Aug. 4, 1914. This ticking-clock thriller features an international cast, led by Ian McDiarmid (Star Wars) and Nicholas Farrell (Chariots of Fire), and is loaded with intense drama and intrigue. Royal Cousins at War screens Monday, Aug. 11, and 37 Days screens Wednesday, Aug. 13, at Rialto Cinemas, 6868 McKinley St., Sebastopol. Both films show at 1pm. Free. 707.525.4840.—Charlie Swanson

Astrology

BY ROB BREZSNY

For the week of August 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be smart and articulate, Aries. Dare to be wildly wise and prone to unruly observations. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t merely be kind and well-behaved. Explore the mysteries of healing through benevolent mischief. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy into the alltoo-serious trances. Break up the monotony with your unpredictable play and funny curiosity. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply go along with the stories everyone seems to believe in as if they were the Truth and the Way. Question every assumption; rebel against every foregone conclusion; propose amusing plot twists that send the narratives off on interesting tangents. TAURUS (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20)

Breve orazione penetra is an old Italian idiom. Its literal translation is â&#x20AC;&#x153;short prayers pierceâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;concise prayers penetrate.â&#x20AC;? You can extrapolate from that to come up with the meaning that â&#x20AC;&#x153;God listens best to brief prayers.â&#x20AC;? In the coming week, I invite you to apply this idea whenever you ask for anything, whether you are seeking the favors of the Divine Wow or the help of human beings. Know exactly what you want, and express it with nononsense succinctness.

GEMINI (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20) Every February, you go through a phase when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to see the big picture of your life. If you take advantage of this invitation, your experience is like being on a mountaintop and gazing into the vastness. Every August, on the other hand, you are more likely to see the details you have been missing. Transformations that have been too small and subtle to notice may become visible to you. If you capitalize on this opportunity, the experience is like peering through a microscope. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a third variation, Gemini: Around the full moons of both February and August, you may be able to alternately peer into the microscope and simulate the view from a mountaintop. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to happen. CANCER (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22) You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sip dirty water from a golden chalice. Am I right? Nor would you swig delicious poison from a ďŹ ne crystal wine glass or 10-year-old vinegar from a queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goblet. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you will agree that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d much rather drink a magical elixir from a paper cup, or a rejuvenating tonic from a chipped coffee mug, or tasty medicine out of a kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plastic soup bowl you bought at the thrift store. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you dare lie to yourself about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for you.

LEO (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;August 22) Every 12 years, the planet Jupiter spends about a year cruising through the sign of Leo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there with you now, and will be with you through early August, 2015. What can you expect? EXPANSION! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, right? Yes and no. You might love to have some parts of your life expand; others, not so much. So I suggest you write down your intentions. Say something like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want Jupiter to help me expand my faith in myself, my power to do what I love and my ability to draw on the resources and allies I need. Meanwhile, I will prune my desires for things I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need and cut back on my involvement with things that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inspire me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want those to expand.â&#x20AC;? VIRGO (August 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;September 22) TV comedian Stephen Colbert confesses that his safeword is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pumpkin patch.â&#x20AC;? Does that mean he participates in actual BDSM rituals? Is it the codeword he utters when he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the intensity to rise any further, when he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want his next boundary crossed? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Perhaps heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply joking or speaking metaphorically. Whether or not you engage in literal BDSM, Virgo, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an aspect of your life right now that has metaphorical resemblances to it. And I suggest that you do the equivalent of using your safeword very soon. Nothing more can be gained from remaining embroiled in your predicament. Even if the ordeal has been interesting or educational up until now, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be for much longer. Escape your bondage. LIBRA (September 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;October 22) If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to hurl a thunderbolt, make sure you are all warmed up and at full strength before you actually unleash it. It would be sad if you ďŹ&#x201A;ung a half-assed thunderbolt that looked like a few ďŹ reďŹ&#x201A;ies and sounded like a cooing dove. And please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interpret my wise-guy tone here as a sign that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just kidding around. No, Libra. This is serious stuff. Life is offering

you opportunities to make a major impression, and I want you to be as big and forceful and wild as you need to be. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tamp down your energy out of fear of hurting peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings. Access your inner sky god or sky goddess, and have too much fun expressing your raw power.

SCORPIO (October 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;November 21)

In your dreams, you may travel to Stockholm, Sweden, to accept the Nobel Prize or to Hollywood to pick up your Oscar. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decent chance that in your sleepytime adventures you will ďŹ nally score with the hot babe who rejected you back in high school, or return to the scene of your biggest mistake and do things right this time. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if in one dream you ďŹ nd yourself riding in a gold chariot during a parade held in your honor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid, however, that you will have to settle for less hoopla and glamour in your waking life. You will merely be doing a fantastic job at tasks you usually perform competently. You will be well-appreciated, well-treated and well-rewarded. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so bad, right?

SAGITTARIUS (November 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 21) Lake Superior State University issues a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unicorn Questing Privilegeâ&#x20AC;? to those people who are interested in hunting for unicorns. Are you one of them? I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if you felt an urge like that in the coming weeks. Unusual yearnings will be welling up in you. Exotic fantasies may replace your habitual daydreams. Certain possibilities you have considered to be unthinkable or unattainable may begin to seem feasible. Questions you have been too timid to ask could become crucial for you to entertain. (You can get your Unicorn Questing License here: http://tinyurl. com/unicornlicense.) CAPRICORN (December 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;January 19) Your ethical code may soon be tested. What will you do if you see a chance to get away with a minor sin or petty crime that no one will ever ďŹ nd out about? What if you are tempted to lie or cheat or deceive in ways that advance your good intentions and only hurt other people a little bit or not at all? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not here to tell you what to do, but rather to suggest that you be honest with yourself about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really at stake. Even if you escape punishment for a lapse, you might nevertheless inďŹ&#x201A;ict a wound on your integrity that would taint your relationship with your own creativity. Contemplate the pleasures of purity and righteousness, and use them to enhance your power. AQUARIUS (January 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;February 18)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thorn arms the roses,â&#x20AC;? says an old Latin motto. The astrological omens suggest youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wise to muse on that advice in the coming weeks. How should you interpret it? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave you to draw your own conclusions, of course, but here are a few hints. It may be that beauty needs protection, or at least buffering. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply depend on your sincerity and good intentions, but also need to infuse some ferocity into your efforts. In order for soft, fragile, lovely things to do what they do best, they may require the assistance of tough, strong, hearty allies.

PISCES (February 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20)

If you go to an American doctor to be treated for an ailment, odds are that he or she will interrupt you no more than 14 seconds into your description of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong. But you must not tolerate this kind of disrespect in the coming days, Piscesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not from doctors, not from anyone. You simply must request or, if necessary, demand the receptivity you deserve. If and when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given, I urge you to speak your truth in its entirety. Express what has been hidden and suppressed. And this is very important: Take responsibility for your own role in any problems you discuss.

Devoted to Apples!

Located on an east-facing slope in the Sebastopol hills youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find Devoto Orchards. A cider maker that

approach ciders from a winemaking perspective and only ferment ciders when apples are at the peak of their season and fresh off the tree from the months of August-November. Two generations ago, back when apples were king, Devoto Orchards planted 6,500 apple trees in Sebastopol, California. Times have changed and most of Sonoma Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orchards have been replaced with vineyards, taking with them the centuries-old Gravenstein. But Devoto Orchards held their ground and tend to 50+ heirloom apple varieties on 26 organic acres. Gravenstein apples are just about peak of their ripeness this time in august, and at Devoto Orchards, they pick them, press them, and pour themselves into every drop. They are proud to offer this food-friendly, semi-dry cider from their family farm to you.
