=^c B^ BX[T]c=XVWc Israel’s lack of interest in advancing a peace process
By Deppen Webber
C
o understand what is happening today in Israel/Palestine, one must know that all the land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea, including occupied Palestinian territory, is ultimately controlled by Israel. All internal travel and travel to and from the country, including the occupied West Bank, is controlled by Israel, and the exit from Gaza to Egypt is extremely limited due to Israeli and American pressure. All trade is controlled by the Israelis. And Israel maintains this control with the fifth most powerful military in the world. The Green Line, marking the borders between Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, is widely recognized by the international community as a starting point for any twostate peace agreement. Yet Israel continues to expand beyond the Green Line, making peace impossible. The expansion is achieved by Israel in several ways. One method is the construction of large housing developments, or settlements, and the infrastructure associated with them. These are Jewish settlements within Palestinian territory. Only Jews can live in these homes. Many members of the Israeli Knesset make no apology for such discrimination. In fact, one group of far-right ministers embraced the segregation in a recent letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu: “We, Likud ministers and Knesset faction members,� it stated, “express our opposition to the building freeze in the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.� But religion not only determines which homes are available to a family; it also limits access to roads connecting them. A Palestinian behind the Green Line in Palestinian territory, whose community may have farmed this land for centuries, is forbidden to drive on the new roads. Any Jew from around the world, however, is encouraged to emigrate there, and often is paid by the Israeli government to do so. Expansion is also achieved when Jewish settlers use biased courts to evict Palestinians from their homes in established Arab neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem. Here again, any Jew is welcomed by Israel to engage in this kind of activity and can do so with the full protection of the Israeli military. Hundreds of soldiers will come to observe a handful of young Jewish fundamentalists evict Palestinians, remove their belongings and begin to occupy the residence. I recently visited the al-Kurd family in the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah
in East Jerusalem. The family had lived in their home there for over 50 years. They have a deed issued from Jordan proving ownership of the property. But Israeli courts would not recognize the deed, and months ago armed young American and Israeli fundamentalist civilians physically evicted the family, including the 87-year-old great grandmother and her young great grandchildren. Israel sent soldiers there to protect the settlers as they removed the family and the furniture from the home in the early morning hours. Unfortunately, this has been going on for decades and the story is not unique to Palestinians throughout the West Bank. I also recently spent time in Hebron, where the military keeps busy protecting approximately 1,100 settlers in a city of approximately 100,000. In Hebron’s Old City, the ancient streets house a shrinking number of Palestinian businesses. Many of them have been closed by the military, the doors welded shut. The upper stories of the streets have been taken over by settlers who taunt and insult their neighbors. Metal fencing has been installed overhead to protect pedestrians from trash and debris thrown by Jewish settlers onto the streets and pedestrians below. These settlers are armed and all the while vigorously protected by young Israeli soldiers. When Israel speaks of security, it has an expansive viewpoint. It isn’t merely referring to protecting itself from attacks on Israel proper, but about protecting settlers who chose to live in Palestinian territory for the purpose of expanding Israel and driving Palestinians from their land. Many regard such ethnic cleansing as divinely ordained. This perverse outlook perpetuates the conf lict. A meaningful peace process would quickly require a halt to these cruel and illegal activities. Israel must either allow all Palestinians between the river and sea to have equal rights and a vote in elections, or withdraw from the occupied territories in order to establish a viable Palestinian state with control over its own seaport, airports and borders. Tragically, Israel is not willing to do either. Deppen Webber is a human rights advocate living in Rohnert Park.

0??;0D38=6C74A8B: C0:4AB The release of documents by WikiLeaks shows that the United States continues to engage in covert and criminal activities. We seem to have learned nothing from past or current debacles, like an alcoholic spinning yet more tangled lies to avoid hitting bottom. We have invaded countries under false pretexts, overthrown democratically elected leaders, supported dictators, tortured prisoners and justified it, assassinated and kidnapped people, and so on. Yet we’re the good guys! I wonder who the bad guys are and what they could possibly be doing. Our government has no credibility or integrity, and the world can see it in those documents. Whistleblowers like Bradley Manning, Julian
Assange and the WikiLeaks staff are protected by law. (The pursuit of Assange on rape charges sounds like a frame-up to take him out and discredit him at the same time.) I applaud what they’ve done and appreciate the risks they’ve taken. We need them desperately because so many others are willing to participate in the craziness and keep secrets.

0A4H>D8=34=80;. I’m curious about the “conspiracy theory aversion� attitude implied by your publishing a pair of “crazy letters� along with a call for more palatable expression—oddly juxtaposed adjacent to Tom Tomorrow’s weekly feature that regularly satirizes the plutocracy that is 21st-century U.S.A. Will he still be syndicated should America truly evolve into the police state that recent developments imply? Are you in denial about what is happening before our eyes, or simply exhausted by the weight of it? Have you become but a few more specimens of the successfully socially engineered people that our populace continues to become? I agree that these two letters were maybe a bit over the top, but not entirely unfounded. Sure, let’s hear the lighter side, too—but what is the point if it is only to keep our heads firmly in the sand? Let’s keep track of what’s really happening, too, OK, “journalists�?

Modern-day program example of Feds’ efficiency—but to what end? By Greg Beato
?
ossibly the only cultural phenomenon that had a bigger year in 2010 than Justin Bieber was the needs-based entitlement program formerly known as Food Stamps. Now dubbed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, it enrolled more than 40 million people for the first time in March 2010. By August, that number had grown to 41,836,300, at which point nearly one in seven Americans was receiving monthly payments of approximately $133. “Nothing tells the reality of this economy better than this,� Bloomberg Television news anchor Margaret Brennan uttered solemnly in January 2010, setting the tone for a year’s worth of media coverage. In May, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution told the tale of an entertainment attorney who’d once earned
$250,000 a year resorting to food stamps to feed his two kids. In June, NPR featured the story of a former restaurant critic who was now dining on Uncle Sam’s dime. Even Newt Gingrich bought into SNAP’s rapidly expanding girth as a telling metric of economic stagnation. “Which future do I want?� he wrote in an October memo sent to Republican candidates. “More food stamps? Or more paychecks?� But the Great Recession isn’t the whole story behind food stamps’ second great awakening. The Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has been engaged in a lengthy campaign to boost the program’s enrollment rates. In 2000, just 16.9 million people were receiving food stamps, and only 50 percent of those who were eligible even participated in the program. Then FNS and the state agencies that administer SNAP began streamlining application processes and
ramping up their outreach efforts. By 2007, 66 percent of “eligibles� had been converted into participants, and preliminary data suggests that that percentage continued to increase in 2008 and 2009. The growth of SNAP was driven partly by the transition from paper-based coupons to electronic benefit transfer cards, a process that was mostly completed by 2004. Convenient, stigma-free purchasing power such as this is just one the way government has been, in the words of Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, “breaking down barriers to participation� in SNAP. In theory, one cannot receive food stamps with a gross monthly income exceeding 130 percent of the poverty level, and a participant is ineligible who has “countable resources� such as bank accounts or vehicles that fail to qualify for certain exclusionary criteria. But while the federal government & %

sets these standards, it also gives states leeway for modification. Under a process known as “broad-based categorical eligibility,� SNAP applicants in dozens of states are now automatically considered eligible if they’re already participating in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Details vary, but categorical eligibility typically means applicants can have gross incomes of up to 200 percent of the poverty level, aren’t subject to asset tests and don’t need to verify their net incomes. The FNS and state agencies have also implemented ways to increase monthly payments. Ultimately, a household’s net income determines the size of its payment. But recipients can claim various deductions, including one for utilities allowed to be as much as $273 a month. According to federal guidelines, recipients can claim the maximum utility deduction regardless of how much they actually spend on utilities as long as they participate in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. But while the government believes SNAP can bulk up the economy, it also believes the program can slenderize the body politic. In 2009, FNS chief Kevin Concannon suggested the agency’s goal is to overhaul America’s diet. “The analogy I think of is in the antismoking arena,� he told the Washington Post. “It took a number of years to really get the systems reoriented and established so that we prohibit smoking in public places.� As the largest of FNS’ 15 nutrition assistance programs, SNAP is also the most strategic one to reorient. Will Humble, director of Arizona’s Department of Health Services, envisions using SNAP to compel food retailers to carry more nutritious products. “Why is SNAP a good leverage point for changing vendor behavior?� he asks. “Because the federal government provides more than $50 [billion] in SNAP benefits every year.� The FNS aims to use this leverage on purchasers as well as vendors. With its electronic benefit transfer system, it can now intimately monitor and potentially influence the eating habits of more than 40 million Americans. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has already floated the idea of making soda off-limits for SNAP recipients. And in December 2011, the FNS will start testing a “healthy incentives� program, in which participants receive a 30 percent discount on their electronic benefit transfer purchases of fruits and vegetables. As coercion goes, this may qualify as pretty benign stuff. You give millions of hungry Americans money for food. And then you give them even more money if they agree to eat like upscale locavores battling big corn syrup. But locavores want to decentralize the food system in an effort to reclaim control over what goes into their bodies; SNAP is moving in the opposite direction. And as its new status as a behavior modification tool grows increasingly apparent, so too does the realization that the program’s growth, commonly attributed to economic desperation, is fueled at least as much by policy imperatives. Food stamp use has hit historic highs because the government’s efforts to expand the program have hit historic highs. Even more than McDonald’s, the Feds have mastered the art of supersizing.

or sale: Social network, recently renovated, barely used. $580 million OBO. In 2005, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation acquired the beleaguered Myspace for over half a billion dollars to complement a media empire comprising newspapers, a film studio and TV channels, including Fox News. News Corporation continued to spend millions on Myspace to capture a finicky youth market, only to find itself groping for relevancy as Facebook came to dominate the social space. One shouldn’t expect Murdoch to understand kids these days, seeing as he hasn’t been a teenager since 1950, which not only predates the notion of a mass “youth culture,� but its original soundtrack, rock ’n’ roll. But the site’s current woes go beyond bridging a simple generation gap, and not for lack of trying. These days on Myspace, one is presently greeted by a video of the Black Eyed Peas pontificating about how they would “rock it� if they “hijacked� Myspace (Fergie is apparently into rainbows). This attempt by Myspace to lease some cred from the band diminishes both the reenvisioning of the site and the musicians themselves, who do their best to inject enthusiasm into the prospect of a “social entertainment� destination with little more substance than their own lyrics. The whole premise seems nebulous, which is underscored by the fact that the site doesn’t even have its own name in the masthead. Rather, the page is helmed by “my_____,� which invites the user to fill in the blank. You know, like Mad Libs. Perhaps Rupert’s reads “my $580 Million Write-Off.� With its “we beat Friendster� sheen long worn away by Murdoch’s fretting fingerprints, Myspace, some speculate, is headed to the bargain bin. An acquisition, however, likely won’t make much noise in a social space dominated by Facebook and Twitter. Big spenders like Google come to mind, though it’s already in the social space (Orkut, right? No, wait, Google Wave? Um, Google Buzz?). Still smarting after being left at the altar by Microsoft, Yahoo isn’t in a shopping mood but is working on its own Twitter clone, Yahoo! Meme. Theoretically, Microsoft could graft Myspace into its search initiative Bing so one
could search for friends and find them, well, on Facebook. Perhaps the best possibility for Myspace is to be acquired by Elon Musk, cofounder of PayPal, electric carmaker Tesla Motors and SpaceX, the independent aeronautics company. Call it “MyspaceX,� which would combine all of Musk’s business pursuits into the first off-world colony. Recruit the outerspace colonists on Myspace (yes, that’s why the sign-up is so damn inquisitive—they’re gauging your space-worthiness) and catch a ride on a SpaceX rocket. The colony itself would be powered by Telsa Motors technology since, in space, there are no countries to exploit for natural resources (yet). Tickets would be paid for through Paypal, unless the underground hacker horde Anonymous launches another denialof-service attack, which they unleashed upon the online payments site, as well as the respective sites of Visa and Mastercard, after the creditors rescinded service to Wikileaks in the wake of Cablegate. What’s a denial-ofservice attack? Ask the former chief security officer for News Corporation’s digital properties, Hemu Nigam, who once ridded Myspace of pedophiles and warded off other online miscreants before splitting six months ago to start his own internet security consultancy. “If you are a home-computer user,� Nigam says, “the only way denial-of-service attacks succeed is if the consumers are allowing their computers to be used as a zombie so that it wakes up and turns it into an army soldier at the command of a hacker out there.� To prevent you computer from joining the undead, Nigam suggests you actually click “OK� the next time your computer suggests a security update. “A hacker group like Anonymous will go out there and find computers that are not updated, drop a little code in there that basically owns the computer and that sits there waiting for a command from the mother ship to these zombie computers, thousands of them in all parts of the country or the world, that says ‘Wake up. It’s your time.’� Perhaps this is Murdoch’s evil plan for Myspace—he’s using it to create an army of zombie machines to launch a massive attack on his many rivals. But isn’t that what his Fox News is for?

1aPX] 1^^bcU^a cWT7^[XSPhb Compelling connections in ‘The Post Carbon Reader’
By Juliane Poirier
@
: What’s even better for health and brain growth than Sudoku, green tea, dark chocolate and meditation all at once? A: Applying one’s brain to the puzzle of human survival. It’s hard work, but vastly rewarding. And one can get a great kickstart from more than 40 incredibly smart people in one paperback called The Post Carbon Reader: Managing the 21st Century’s Sustainability Crises (Watershed Media; $21.95). It’s not only a good read, it’s a brain-enhancing tool that can also be utilized to replace fear and inertia with connectedness and purpose, and when the brain is connected with the heart, it can do anything. The heart part one must bring to the puzzle table oneself, along with analytic thinking and creative connecting of all the puzzle pieces in company with others involved in solutions-thinking. The Post Carbon Reader makes for excellent fireside or poolside reading, just as it would be great for a neighborhood study group or for use in classroom discussion, simply because it contains so many perspectives on the interconnected challenges to which all ages of humankind must rise. “The planet is growing by 78 million people each year,� writes William Ryerson in his essay “Population: The Multiplier of Everything Else.� “That’s the equivalent of adding a new Ethiopia every year.� Entries such as this make me want to sit my 10-yearold son down with a globe and measure how many Ethiopias of people the earth can support, subtracting for exhausted resources and land that will be lost to rising seas. Ryerson is only one of the gifted writers whose clear thinking makes The Post Carbon Reader my pick for the perfect holiday brainboost gift. For those intrigued by the puzzle of how to live in the world as it really is—which would be on the brink—I suggest savoring this book one essay at a time. Each essay looks at sustainability from a different vantage point, grouped by editors Richard Heinberg and Daniel Lerch into 16 themed sections comprising over 400 pages of riveting reading and backed
by 39 pages of supporting chapter notes. Most compelling about The Post Carbon Reader is how the breadth of perspectives— from economics and education to politics and personal responsibility—follows the natural model in which everything is connected. In the food section of the Reader, Michael Bomford’s essay “Getting Fossil Fuels Off the Plate� points out how our food system, for every calorie of food delivered to the plate on our table, “requires seven to ten calories from fossil fuels.� We know what voting with our checkbook means, but what is Warren Karlenzig talking about, in “The Death of Sprawl,� when he mentions voting with our tires? You’ll have to read to find out. And how did a farm in Vermont transform a public-school-fromhell into a beloved haven for learning? Check out “Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability,� by Michael Stone and Zenobia Barlow, whose uplifting report on the transformation of education includes a quote by David Orr all parents need to read: “What can education do to foster intelligence? . . . We can attempt to teach the things that one might imagine the Earth would teach us: silence, humility, holiness, connectedness, courtesy, beauty, celebration, giving, restoration, obligation and wildness.� Post Carbon writers focus on their areas of expertise, yet speaking on so many seemingly disparate elements in one book is a true mitzvah; in reality all these elements actually are connected and must be addressed. A reader can sit down with this one anthology and get a sense of the big picture of what sustainability truly means—and asks of us—without being overwhelmed. This user-friendliness is critical in these times of data overload. The real purpose of all this big-picture information about our home planet in crises is not to foster paralysis but rather to enable action. I predict this book will do more of the latter. In the book’s preface, Lerch sums up rather nicely the simple reason for digging into The Post Carbon Reader: “This book is a resource for those who want to try and get it right.�
The planet is growing by 78 million people each year—the equivalent of adding a new Ethiopia every year.

2;40=8=6?;0C4B Stephanie Wu has shattered 34 competitive-eating records in the last year alone.
7^[SX]V8c0[[3^f] Meet Stephanie Wu, America’s up-and-coming competitive eater By Robert Kralovec
0
fter his wife left him, my cousin invited me to Roy’s Chicago Doggery to witness a strange act. He had decided to sign up to eat Roy’s Big Bad Wiener, or the Challenge Dog, a 22-inch, onepound Vienna beef hot dog dressed with a minimum of three condiments, accompanied by a basket of fries and a one-pound milkshake. In 12 minutes and 27 seconds, he inhaled the combined four pounds of food, toppling the previous record set at Roy’s by four minutes. In the gravel lot afterwards, onlookers applauded his iron stomach. And yet just one month later, he would yield to a four-minute trounce himself at the hands of Stephanie Wu, an amateur competitive eater from Pleasant Hill, Calif. At the age of 40, Stephanie Wu is barreling through the world of competitive eateries, claiming 34 records in the last year since embarking on her goals in December 2009. At a follow-up visit to Roy’s, in Petaluma, I sensed a slight difficulty for owners Chris and Kate Badouin to describe Stephanie. “She’s not a Belgium fart girl; she has class,� explains Kate. I think of all the women I know that competitively
eat, which is none, before Kate adds, “Maybe this is how she fits into the world. Wait. Nobody fits into the world.� Roy’s Chicago Doggery is located at the Petaluma Livestock Auction Yard, on the north side of town. The day Stephanie ate up the record was auction day, a busy afternoon. Due to sheer size, Roy’s contest dog is kept at an offsite location. Chris and Kate request their contenders phone in the day before an attempt so they can more appropriately stock the doggery; unfortunately, this request evaded Stephanie’s discovery. Yet seeing as Stephanie drove two hours to contend, Kate generously vamoosed from the busy doggery, returning with the chauffeured hotdog in her truck. Upon the hotdog’s arrival, Stephanie withdrew her competitive eating accoutrements: a video camera and a scale. Then she sunk Roy’s Big Bad Wiener into the galley of her belly, filming the ragtag-swallows of doggery mash along the way. “Afterwards, she went into the parking lot and was taking pictures,� explains Kate. “I followed her out there and started talking to her. She is so unique. I went home and looked her up. I wanted to follow what she was doing.� That evening, I discovered Stephanie’s website, a massive compendium of haunting
food challenges in the North Bay and beyond. Her website features greasy burger towers, lumpish 12-egg omelets, burritos surpassing my baby weight and a frightening six-pound, 25-inch pizza that Stephanie has attempted but failed eight times. Part documentation of incredulous activity, part investigation into the interminable stomach of a human, Stephanie’s website inspired me to contact her. She agreed to meet me at the Hyatt Summerfield in Pleasant Hill. My initial impressions of Stephanie were customary—inferred stereotypes of some overweight pseudo-epicure. Stephanie is a big girl, nearly six feet tall with a concomitant appetite. During our conversation, she frequently testifies to her weight, but in a subtle way that makes one’s chest feel concave. What I found is that Stephanie unequivocally loves food. It must be difficult quantifying a plenteous love of food, I think to myself, but having naturally been an incredible eater since her earliest memories, Stephanie has almost overcome the burdens of her passion. “I remember one time having dinner at a friend’s house,� she tells me, “while I was in elementary school—it was an American-chopsuey type of dish, though we called it ‘goulash’ locally—and I was not able to stop eating it and kept going for seconds, thirds, fourths, &THE BOHEMIAN

etc. I must have gone back at least five times for extras. I remember the parents were looking at each other strangely, wondering why I couldn’t control myself.� In 1987, Stephanie attended the University of Rochester in New York, where she graduated summa cum laude. During our discussion, she makes several comments on her innate perfectionism, an attribute she’s used in competitive eating. Stephanie’s need to be perfect has helped her to develop a pedagogy for massive consumption. For instance, she notes that eating copious amounts of cabbage before a competition can balloon your stomach with gas, expanding its size in such a way to enable consuming mammoth portions of food. She also digresses into mastication mechanics. “The best eaters out there don’t chew, they swallow,� she explains. “I tend to use the back of my tongue and press it against my soft palate as I’m chewing a little bit, and if the food is small enough, I can let it pass. If the tongue detects a piece that is too awkward, I don’t let it pass because I don’t want to choke to death.� She continues: “Chewing and swallowing is so instinctive, you learn as a little child how to do it correctly. That’s hard to overcome, because it’s a safety mechanism. You have to learn how to block that instinct and just chew and swallow. They say you should start out with yogurt or cottage cheese, soft items that if you choke won’t kill you.� In all this eating, Stephanie has only suffered one injury: prickles from crab exoskeleton, difficult for even the “crabwise� to avoid during the heat of competition. There are serious bodily dangers associated with competitive eating, such as water intoxication, stomach ulcers, stomach paralysis, nausea, obesity and, of course, projectile vomiting. Most commonly, competitive eaters suffer from stomach cramps, diarrhea and lack of bowel movements before and after competing. The world of competitive eating doesn’t pay, either, unless you’re a professional, and even then the salary is too paltry to support a comfortable lifestyle. Traveling to competitive eateries and losing can escalate your bill plenty. In October, Stephanie attempted a 72-ounce steak that, upon failing, ran her about $100. Her highest paying victory was $150. Considering those figures, Stephanie has no desire to go professional; she’s content with her current day job selling air conditioning equipment online, being her own boss and consuming as much as her passion will permit. Several days after meeting Stephanie, I inform my cousin that his record at Roy’s has been decimated. His response? “I can’t take that from her,� he acknowledged. Then, smirking, he said, “If you get my wife to come, I will do it. I can beat her.� Roy’s Chicago Doggery, 84 Corona Road, Petaluma. 707.774.1574. Stephanie Wu remains the only female contestant to have successfully challenged Roy’s Big Bad Wiener. See her incredible achievements at www.stephaniesamerica.com.

arely in our history have food politics so dominated the national spotlight. Two food-related bills have been circling around D.C., with more eyes than ever watching the progress.
R
8 D J C I N J E K6 AA : N 7djX]dc
Senate bill 510, the so-called food safety bill, passed the Senate Nov. 30 with a level of bipartisan agreement rarely seen of late. Even so, the bill, en route to Obama’s desk, was taken hostage by a congressional contingent sworn to prevent any bills from passing until tax cuts for the wealthy were extended. Now, due to the discovery of a procedural error, they’re poised to send the bill back for more processing, followed by another round of debate that many fear will kill the bill. Meanwhile, the food safety bill’s little brother, the socalled school lunch bill, was signed by Obama this week. Yet after years of wrangling, the bill is a mere ghost of what was originally proposed. “Two years ago we started out very idealistic,â€? says Dr. Susan Rubin, who teamed up with Slow Food USA to get the bill passed. “We wanted a dollar more per day, per kid, in funding, because that’s what we thought it would cost to feed kids properly. And now we’re celebrating an increase of six cents.â€? While it’s a smaller increase than hoped for, it’s still a bigger increase than school kitchens have had in more than 60 years. The school lunch bill also calls for an update of the nutrition standards used to create meals funded by the school lunch program. “Right now, for example, USDA standards don’t promote whole grains. You can be sure the new standards will,â€? one optimistic school nutrition professional told me. But despite the bill’s bipartisan support for fresh water, nutrition education and farm-to-school pilot projects, Fox News has spent the last few months harassing the bill with fabricated concerns that it “could ban bake sales at schools.â€? What the bill does do is state that bake sales and fundraisers could fall under regulation if they become so frequent that a signiďŹ cant portion of students’ calories are coming from such foods, a point that Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack went to pains to make in a widely circulated letter. Nonetheless, days later Fox & Friends co-hosts kept the “bake sale banâ€? narrative going, and Sarah Palin chimed in, via Twitter, criticizing the “school cooking ban.â€? Of course, the ones who rake in the most money on school fundraisers, from the Girl Scouts to the Association of Fund-Raising Distributors and Suppliers, have publicly supported the bill. Using the manufactured bake sale issue to try and kill a bill that aims to provide better nutrition to children is truly the height of cynicism.

now that there’s more to the Napa Valley than one-road, well-traveled and chockablock-withbig-box wine ops. Day trippers, hot dates and holiday hosts alike need only apply a few simple suggestions for a fun, memorable experience: avoid weekends, ďŹ nd a family-owned winery, take the side roads, pay a few bucks more and avoid weekends. Just a piece down a rustic country lane off of Highway 29, Swanson offers two tiers of intimate, appointment-only or play-it-by-ear options that are a little more than just winetasting. Maybe a little bit of lotus eating. Well, not lotus, per se, but caviar, Grana Padano Parmesan cheese, artisan chocolate bonbons—same idea. By turns whimsical, kitschy and quite elegant, the Salon is this working winery’s colorful antechamber. Around a table centerpiece designed by estate co-owner Elizabeth Swanson, amid a 16th-century portico and ďŹ replace and faux 17th-century portraits by artist Ira Yeager (who subtracts a few hundred years when he signs and dates his work), guests nibble from sea shells on the direction of a patient and personable salonnière.
Good time for a fun fact: the winery and the prototypical TV dinner indeed share the same heritage, but the time-saving brand was sold in 1955. Hoping to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1980s, W. Clarke Swanson Jr. instead became an early grower of Merlot on advice from wine legend AndrĂŠ Tchelistcheff. Current winemaker Chris Phelps may poke his head into a tasting on the way to his ofďŹ ce. Drolly self-effacing, Phelps was last seen in the Bohemian—as the centerfold model, he jokes—defending Merlot’s tarnished reputation against a Sideways assault (“Merlot Fights Back,â€? April 19, 2006). Behind door number two, the more informal Sip Shoppe is a candy-striped room stocked with $25 bottles of red wine labeled for all occasions, like “Mazel tov,â€? “Thrilled for You,â€? and “Expensive Christmas Wine,â€? tagged with a supposed price of $150 (for full effect, don’t remove the price tag). Let’s hope that “Please Forgive Meâ€? doesn’t ďŹ nish on a sour note! Tastings here also include small food pairings.

or those terrified that a trove of violent Mexican immigrants might invade their calm afternoon picnic and murder their families, it was the perfect hit piece. But to the Latino community at large, it represented the worst kind of campaign race-baiting, and a cynical yet successful tactic that continues to resonate sourly nearly two months after David Rabbitt’s defeat of Pam Torliatt in the race for Sonoma County Second District supervisor. In the ongoing fallout after Nov. 2, the campaign mailer supporting Rabbitt continues to feed virulent accusations of racism from members and allies of the Latino community. Seizing a late-election-cycle move expressly geared to tap into fears about undocumented immigrants in Sonoma County, the independent expenditure group Citizens for Transportation Funding chose to feature on the mailer the image of an empty picnic table headed by the bold quote “Pam Torliatt’s Sanctuary Idea Is No Picnic.�

12.15.10-12.21.10
THE BOHEMIAN
On the back, a front-page Press Democrat headline declaring Torliatt’s support of a sanctuary policy is reproduced beside two San Francisco Chronicle articles about the 2008 murders of Tony Bologna and his two sons at the hands of an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador. While a direct connection has never been made between San Francisco’s sanctuary-city status and the murders, the mailer doesn’t back down in stating ominously (cue horror movie music here), “Pam Torliatt wants to make Sonoma County a sanctuary county for illegal immigrants. Remember how this idea worked in San Francisco?� “It was the worst kind of pandering and fear-mongering, and so unnecessary,� says Lisa Maldonado, president of the North Bay Labor Council, about her group’s decision to sever ties with the Sonoma County Alliance (SCA), an influential North Bay business lobby that partially funded the mailer. “We were concerned about anyone in the labor movement being associated with the scapegoating of immigrants.� In a private email sent to SCA executive director Lisa Schaffner and other members,
Maldonado castigated the mailer, describing it as “one of the most despicable and racist campaigns I have ever seen.� She went on to declare that the implication made by the mailer that “Mexican immigrants were awaiting Ms. Torliatt’s election so that they could come to your picnics and murder all white people� was “truly beyond the pale.� Davin Cardenas, a community organizer in Santa Rosa’s Roseland district, agrees. He points out the irresponsibility of implying that all undocumented immigrants are violent criminals, and notes that it’s especially ironic considering Sonoma County relies heavily on the labor of immigrants. “I don’t think it helps anybody to create fear and animosity in our county,� he says. “It doesn’t help the anti-immigrant or immigrants or any sector in the community to have hatebased or fear-based mail sent out to the populace.� According to Susan Gorin, Santa Rosa mayor from 2008 to 2010 and current councilmember, this was an unfortunate aspect of an election that was marred by excessively nasty and expensive antics. “Torliatt’s offhand comment about sanctuary was blown up in such a negative
way,” says Gorin, who compares the use of racially charged subtext in the mailer to the Willie Horton’s “weekend pass rampage” television ads used by the Bush campaign against Michael Dukakis during the 1988 presidential race. “This kind of campaigning is not helpful for a thoughtful dialogue about what sanctuary means,” continues Gorin. “It casts a shadow. We should be sensitive to how immigration benefits our communities in many ways, whether people are undocumented or not.”
C
he sanctuary snafu began with a simple one-word answer, given at the tail end of a Latino Community Conference forum held on the Santa Rosa Junior College Petaluma campus in early October. In one of the last questions fielded by the candidates, a female audience member asked Rabbitt and Torliatt whether they would support—or, according to eyewitness and former mayor of Rohnert Park Tim Smith, if they would merely “consider”—sanctuary status in Sonoma County. Torliatt answered with a simple yes. Less than a week later, Torliatt’s stance on sanctuary was splashed across the front page of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. This is problematic, especially coming on the heels of an endorsement for David Rabbitt by the Press Democrat editorial board. Since Torliatt simply said she would consider a sanctuary policy, and since sanctuary is a known hot-button issue in Sonoma County—as even a cursory glance at the inflammatory comments infecting the Press Democrat’s forums confirms—the headline appeared as a direct hit on Torliatt. It also provided the perfect visual fodder for the incendiary mailer. Even more important, were any Press Democrat reporters actually present at the forum? Smith states in a phone interview that while articles had appeared in the Press Democrat and the Petaluma Argus-Courier agitating for a forum, and although this particular event was advertised beforehand, no reporters from either paper were in attendance. A report by Press Democrat writer Brett Wilkinson used interviews conducted after the fact, while an item in Chris Smith’s Nov. 4 column recreated the original question: “Would the candidates support a ‘sanctuary’ policy to curtail local authorities’ cooperation with federal immigration officers seeking to seize undocumented immigrants?” According to Torliatt, Wilkinson refused to quote or print responses from her campaign after the forum. “Every time Mr. Wilkinson called us regarding an article, he threatened—and followed through with his threat—to print in the articles that we were not available for comment when in fact we did provide information and access,” she says. If the initial question was in fact whether the candidates would “consider” rather than “support” a sanctuary policy, that alters the discussion significantly. Reached by phone, Ted Appel, business editor and moderator of the Press Democrat’s local-politics site Watch Sonoma County, confirms that no Press Democrat reporters were in fact present at the forum.

n reality, the concept of sanctuary isn’t nearly as terrifying as opponents make it out to be. From the imagery and information in the Rabbitt mailer, you’d think sanctuary is a wholesale free-for-all, where violent Latino criminals are allowed to roam the streets unchecked, like a pack of wolves, attacking innocent people at will. In reality, a “City and County of Refuge” ordinance simply prohibits city and county employees (including police and sheriff) from collaborating with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on immigration investigations and arrests unless such help is required by federal or state law or a warrant. In fact, that’s ostensibly what’s in place now; court rulings have found that local law enforcement doesn’t have the authority to uphold federal immigration laws. But sanctuary became a lightning-rod issue after activists rose up in protest when the Sonoma County jail, in March of this year, started automatically sending inmates’ fingerprints to ICE after booking. According to Santa Rosa–based immigration attorney Richard Coshnear, 55 percent of those taken from jails and deported by ICE have not committed a violent crime. “It’s OK [under the sanctuary policy] to put ICE holds on people with violent records or drug use,” says Coshnear, a member of the Committee for Human Rights. “The goal of sanctuary is to provide protection from deportation for those without such records.” In Sonoma County, which is dependent on immigrant and undocumented labor for large-scale agriculture and vineyard operations, families often live in fear of raids and deportation even as their labor is exploited. In a situation scarily similar to the conditions fought by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta and other leaders of the United Farmworkers of America, workers are afraid to speak out against injustices and raids because of these overlying threats. “The fact of the matter is that they are not criminals,” Maldonado says. “Being undocumented is a civil penalty, but it’s not a criminal offense. People think it gives them license to talk about [Latino immigrants] as if they are scum of the earth. To dehumanize them is so unfair and unnecessary. If they really wanted to talk about the issue of sanctuary, they could have done that without going directly to the implication that these people are going to murder you.” While David Rabbitt, who won with 53.4 percent of the vote, can’t and won’t claim responsibility for the actual mailers—published as they were by an independent expenditure committee—his campaign definitely benefited from them. Rabbitt originally responded to the outcry about racism with a shrug (“It is what it is,” he said to the Press Democrat), but he’s since upgraded his stance. In a phone call, Rabbitt claims he didn’t initially see the inclusion of the murders in San Francisco as inflammatory. “In Sonoma County, there might be a racial implication,” he says, “but it’s not based on race. You shouldn’t be prohibited from talking about fixing immigration and be called a racist because you want to do this.” Pointedly mentioning his own background as a first-generation American, Rabbitt ( %

continues. “If I was designing the mailer, I would have put the financial implications of sanctuary in the county. At the end of the day, there are certain trades that lose out because of the use of undocumented workers,� he says, going on to admit that the mailer “would have been just as strong if it had not included references to any crimes anywhere.� It’s the widening divide between communities that concerns Torliatt. “The Latino community is a growing segment of our population—approximately 23 percent in Petaluma. We have real economic challenges facing us and so much work to do,� she says. “This behavior is not an example of leadership; it is one of maintaining power for corporate special interests on the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors.� As Cardenas points out, the sentiment expressed in the mailer sets a negative precedent for constructing community relationships, and “any politician that supports immigrant rights,� he says, “has to worry that they will be demonized.� At the same time, the Latino population is expanding and becoming a powerful and sought-after voting demographic. Is this really the time when business groups in Sonoma County should be alienating a growing segment of the population?
C
he mailer continues to open up a Pandora’s box of issues with diversity and discrimination, especially in regards to the Sonoma County Alliance’s relationship with the Latino population. In the late Jim Wilkinson’s guide to the power struggles within Santa Rosa politics, Who Rules Santa Rosa and Why It Matters, the neighborhood activist describes how the organization’s “bedrock� interests benefit the development, construction and finance sectors. Made up of a laundry list of powerful Santa Rosa businesses and large corporations—including Bank of the West, Kaiser Permanente, Comcast and Wells Fargo Bank—the alliance also has a strong political apparatus, geared toward supporting so-called pro-business candidates. Yet it goes unspoken that some of the businesses that are part of the coalition actually benefit from the labor of undocumented immigrants since membership includes a number of wineries and building contractors. In fact, the Sonoma County Alliance could well be on an express path to alienate the Latino population of Sonoma County. On a Saturday afternoon a month before the election, 150 people attended a forum organized by the North Bay Organizing Project titled “New Voters, New Visions.� Held at Roseland Elementary, the event provided a chance for predominately Latino voters to meet with candidates for the Santa Rosa City Council, all of whom were invited to appear. Lowrider car clubs, high school students and recently registered voters from the neighborhood filled the hall, and all of the candidates showed up—except for the three comprising the “pro-business� slate, backed by the Sonoma County Alliance. Thus, not only has the Alliance ignored an open invitation to dialogue with the Latino community, but it has also shut off
any dialogue about why the mailer might have employed questionable race-baiting campaign tactics. Surprisingly, the SCA leadership has shot back at Maldonado with counter accusations of racism. To the Press Democrat, Schaffner said that Maldonado “just likes to fight.� Keith Woods, chief executive officer of the North Coast Builders Exchange and a key SCA member, has called her a “sore loser.� Maldonado claims that no one at the alliance will admit to creating the mailer or to signing off on it. “If there was nothing wrong with it, then why not just admit responsibility?� asks Maldonado. (Repeated calls and emails to Schaffner for this story were not returned.) Other members of the SCA have tried to distance themselves from the mailer, including Chris Snyder, head of Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3. But these small efforts by some members have not been enough for many Latino leaders. Laura Gonzalez, president of the Sonoma County Latino Democratic Club, says that this is not an issue of sour grapes just because Torliatt lost the election; what’s really at stake is the offensive nature of the mailer and the risky precedent it sets. “It’s not just about Torliatt and Rabbitt and the race,� she says. “We have to say why this is offensive to us. If you look at the numbers in California and statewide, when people go after Latinos, illegal and nonlegal, we view it as an attack on our ethnic group.� That’s a group that’s only getting larger. Considering that every year for the next 20 years, half a million Latino youths will reach voting age, and that as of October 2008, enrollment in Santa Rosa elementary schools stood at 52.5 percent Latino, now is probably not the time to consciously construct such a large and growing segment of the population as the dangerous “other.� In November, Gonzales and her organization mounted a letter-writing campaign to members of the SCA that serve a large Latino clientele, including Kaiser Permanente and others, to “repudiate this incendiary mailer.� The organization asks the businesses to consider the following questions: “Do these tactics fit with your mission? When you joined this group with the hope of making important professional contacts in the county, did you realize your money would go to demonize the fastest growing demographic in the county, your employees, your vendors, your colleagues and even your own friends and neighbors? We ask if you, as service providers, differentiate between ‘legal’ and ‘illegal?’� Gonzalez says the responses have been fairly positive so far. The group is also working with Bobbi Salazar, the Region 1 chair of the Latino Caucus of the Democratic Party, to propose a policy that discourages scapegoating or racebaiting campaign tactics. Theoretically, that would include mailers using racial subtext to imply that immigration reform will lead to mass-murder rampages across the parks and picnic tables of Sonoma County. “You can’t keep maligning such a large group of people and expect them to be OK with it,� Gonzalez says. “Sometime in the future, mailers like this one will be a death knell for a candidate.�

By Michael S. Gant
?
resenting somebody with an e-reader satisfies the basic ritual impulse, but how does one give an e-book? A gift card for Amazon, an account at Barnes & Noble, a login at Google’s new book-retailing project? These immaterial manifestations of books can’t really be wrapped in showy paper and colorful ribbons. They don’t come with the excitement of revelation. It’s more like, “Oh, look, you got me a $15 credit to download a bestseller of my choice if I ever remember to get around to it.� The holidays are still the time when only an old-fashioned solid chunk of the bookmaker’s art will suffice. Now is the season to seek out beautiful coffee-table extravagances and weighty tomes worth both displaying and reading. The publishing landmark of the season is volume one of the authorized version of the ‘Autobiography of Mark Twain’ (UC Press; $34.95). Near the end of his life, Twain hit upon an idiosyncratic approach to his memoirs: he dictated on the f ly as times past f litted across his consciousness. Untethered to chronology, Twain indulged his taste in asides about news
and politics while dredging up marvelous anecdotes from his seemingly inexhaustible memory banks. As he writes, “Here we have diary and history combined; because as soon as I wander from the present text—the thought of to-day—that digression takes me far and wide over an uncharted sea of recollection.� Twain famously warned that these remembrances should be left unpublished for a century in order to avoid scandal and embarrassment on the part of his subjects. It’s taken decades just to piece together the voluminous papers he left behind, and the result is salty and imminently readable. His observation on the veneration of the rapacious railroad capitalist Jay Gould is as relevant in
today’s second Gilded Age as in the first: “Jay Gould was the mightiest disaster which has ever befallen this country. The people had desired money before his day, but he taught them to fall down and worship it.� The success of Unstoppable and the ongoing debate about the route of high-speed rail down the spine of California reinforce the verity that some of the best gift books are aimed squarely at the rail fan. The 178-page ‘Art for All: British Posters for Transport’ (Yale University Press; $50), edited by Teri J. Edelstein, looks at the particular fertile subset of the field of railroad advertising, which makes it both train book and art book. Starting in (' 1908 with the British Underground THE BOHEMIAN

and expanding in the 1920s to the national rail, the English created a vast number of gorgeous posters aimed at both informing and enticing readership. One of the best examples is Harry Beck’s justifiably famous schematic of the London underground system and its many stops, a perfect example of how to supply a surfeit of vital information with graphic simplicity.
The grittier side of railroading can be seen in ‘Railroad Noir: The American West at the End of the Twentieth Century’ (Indiana University Press; $39.95), by Linda Grant Niemann with photographs by Joel Jensen. Niemann was one of the first women hired to work as a “brakeman/switchman,� back in 1979, with the Southern Pacific at the Watsonville Junction. She has followed the rails ever since, and her essays focus with insight and novelistic detail on the hard lives and hard times of rail workers. Across 152 pages, Jensen’s moody photographs (in both black-and-white and color) capture the loneliness of switching yards, freight barns, bars and motels in the back of nowhere. One evocative shot captures a silhouetted freight train passing in the distance, framed by the haphazard coils of a barbed-wire fence somewhere in the far reaches of Montana. The Orient Express it’s not. At 224 pages, Derek Hayes’ extra-large ‘Historical Atlas of the North American Railroad’ (UC Press; $39.95) contains an extensive treasure trove not just of maps but also of photographs, handbills, timetables and brochures illustrating the entire breadth of railroading from Col. John Stevens’ “steam wagon� and the Baltimore & Ohio’s Tom Thumb engine to the eel-nosed Acela trains that work the Northeast corridor today. The many route maps show how rail lines colonized the

country, and advertising materials from the heyday of the streamliners with romantic names like the Zephyr, the Hiawatha and the 20th Century Limited are enough to make a modern commuter weep nostalgic tears. The pricey ‘Book of Shells: A Life-Size Guide to Identifying and Classifying Six Hundred Seashells’ by M. G. Harasewych and Fabio Moretzsohn (University of Chicago Press; $55) can be justified as a study guide for a budding conchologist. But the 656-page book is also a work of art full of sensual visual pleasures. Each page is devoted to a single shell, shown in full color at both actual size and enlarged, along with a habitat map and brief description. The sheer variety of spirals, scallops, spots and striations dazzles the eye; the melanoid abyssal snail is a drop-dead natural take on the Tower of Babel, while the bloodstained dove shell (the names are every bit as arresting as the shapes) is a sea-f loor night crawler with an ear-shaped, deep sherbet-orange outer lip. Galen Rowell photographed the natural world on a grand scale for decades. Eschewing the sometimes stark black-andwhite of Ansel Adams, Rowell, who died in 2002, sought the essence of mountain ranges and high valleys in full color. ‘Galen Rowell’s Sierra Nevada’ (Sierra Club Books; $29.95) gathers together 112 pages’ worth of his finest work in the Range of Light. At times, Rowell’s indulgence in f lorid lighting (such as the vermillion sky in Stormy Sunset Over Evolution Lake) goes overboard, but he was also capable of subtler effects, as in the plays of weathered surfaces seen close-up in Boulder Trapped in Whitebark Pine Roots, which is worthy of Edward Weston. An adventure climber as well as a photographer, Rowell is seen in a picture in the introduction clinging to a sheer defile above Yosemite Falls—hanging on with one hand and holding his 35mm camera with the other.

North Bay theaters turn to community to stay alive
By David Templeton

Âş
just sent out another e-blast about our situation,� says Scott Phillips, artistic director of Sebastopol’s 17-year-old Sonoma County Repertory Theater. “I refuse to believe we will have to close our doors—and I sure don’t want that to happen on my watch.� Elly Lichenstein, executive and artistic director of Cinnabar Theater in Petaluma, is similarly concerned about the future of her 38-year-old company. “Things have never been so bad,� she says of the economic toll the lingering recession has taken on the local theater community. She recently announced that unless Cinnabar can raise $75,000 by the end of January, her organization—which includes a number of active youth ensembles and the North Bay’s only opera company—will be forced to make some devastating decisions. “It’s a new world for arts organizations, a much different world than it was a few years ago,� Lichenstein says, referring to the grants, donations and foundational support that theater companies once were able to depend on. “It’s not even the same world it was six months ago,� she continues. “Last year, we lost $60,000 worth of funding from the city of Petaluma. Foundations that once supported us are folding or putting their money into health and human services instead of the arts. As a result, we find ourselves in a bit of a pickle.� Cinnabar, jolted into action, has been taking some severe steps by cutting positions, reorganizing next year’s season and making their situation public. Through letters, emails and pleas from the stage, Lichenstein has been reaching out to Petaluma’s art-loving, theater-
going community to spread the word that without immediate intervention by a large number of donors—or a single donor willing to make a $75,000 Christmas gift—Cinnabar’s future is, with no exaggeration, in serious jeopardy. “There is a very real possibility we will have to close our doors,� Lichenstein says. “We are cutting costs, going to a skeletal staff—but we can only cut so much. If you have no staff, you have no theater. We need an angel, plain and simple. And we need that angel now.� The circumstances described by Lichenstein and Phillips also represent the bulk of the North Bay theater community. From the Golden Gate to Gold Country, theater attendance is down, usual annual fundraisers are raising fewer dollars than in the past and the large benefactors that once proudly sponsored arts organizations have become tightfisted and stingy, a result of watching their own reserves dwindle. “We’ve never been affected by economic downturns,� says Phillips of the Rep. “We’ve always been able to depend upon enough foundation support to thrive. But it’s all gone. Foundations have no money to give us. And, unfortunately, if you can’t get foundation support, then you have to go to the people— so that’s what we’re doing. In the clearest possible language—if the Rep is going to survive, then someone out there in the community is going to have to write us a check.� Phillips is certain that that “someone� exists. Lichenstein shares his optimism. “I believe in our community,� she says. “I’m convinced they understand what’s at stake. I believe they know the difference between a community with a theater company and a community without one.�

‘The Fighter’ a brilliant working-class ode By Richard von Busack
?
restige-film season is the graveyard of the good, solid three-star movie. That makes chances for acclaim tougher for The Fighter, with its title so similar to The Wrestler. David O. Russell’s account of pugilists Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund is more than worthwhile, though. It’s juicy, touchingly acted and rich with atmosphere. The story takes place in the 1990s, in Kerouac’s hometown of Lowell, Mass. As always, serious location work reduces the need for a lot of explanatory dialogue. The Fighter begins with a parade of sorts; followed by cameras, the two boxers go for a walk through the town, shaking hands and high-fiving the passersby. One disgruntled local tosses a cup of water at them from his second-story window, and with that, the film slips into a groove of believability. Road-crew laborer and striving boxer Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) has been training all his life with his elder halfsibling, Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale). Early on, we see the two together on a couch, talking to the camera in what seems to be a documentary about the brothers’ comeback. Dicky’s great claim to fame is knocking out Sugar Ray Leonard (the smooth Leonard plays himself in a cameo), and he’s ready to remind any listener of that bout. Micky is in a career lull as a “steppingstone� fighter, used as a boxer for other boxers to leapfrog over. He’s divorced with a kid; his ex-wife, still hostile, has a restraining order against him. One evening, Micky meets a weary bartender, Charlene (Amy Adams), a University of Rhode Island dropout with aspirations for a better life. Charlene is tough enough to fight off Ward’s overprotective family, a gaggle of seven high-haired, sharp-nailed sisters who look like they could take down a

heavyweight or two themselves. The mom of this scary brood is the chain-smoking Alice (Melissa Leo in another fine, sandpapery performance); all put pressure on Micky to keep Dicky as his trainer. There’s just one little problem with the elder half-brother’s work: he’s a hopeless crack addict. Wahlberg, born 34 miles away from Lowell and also from a family of nine, couldn’t have been better cast. Bale has to jump around; this is not his milieu, or his accent, and his acting is a bit more flamboyant. Not to say that Bale’s Dicky isn’t invigorating to watch in spots, but when people say a train wreck is fascinating, they usually mean that part right before the train collides. Bale is a smoking, ruined locomotive from the get-go. Russell handles Dicky’s turning point, his recovery, with an interestingly antique method: double-exposure-like images of his bout with Leonard flicker above his bed as he sweats out the crack cocaine. There are only so many ways to shoot a boxing movie, let alone a boxing scene. Russell avoids Raging Bull–isms by filming straightforwardly, like a documentary cameraman, showing us the science of prizefighting—the dodging and dancing more than the slamming fists. Inevitably, there is that visual necessity: the slow-mo, sweat-splashing punch to the jaw, a shot recently derided in Jackass 3D as “the Rocky.� As usual in a boxer’s biopic, the height of the arm’s arc, the narrowness of the victories and even the size of the opponents are exaggerated. (It’s already notorious on the internet that Mike Mungin had fewer than 10 pounds on Ward, not 20 as it’s stated here.) Yet the pleasures of The Fighter come in its well-done performances and well-filled-in backgrounds. If the facts are slightly fast and loose, so, blessedly, is Russell’s direction. ‘The Fighter’ opens in wide release Friday, Dec. 17.

Sitting In
Known primarily as a jazz violinist, the New York–based Jenny Schienman released a self-titled album in 2008 that confounded record store clerks but dazzled critics: it couldn’t be filed in any specific genre yet wonderfully captured a strange, eerie American music, somewhere in the air between Manhattan and Tuscaloosa. Since, Schienman has played with Lucinda Williams, Bill Frisell and Sean Lennon, and this week sits in with the jazz drummer Allison Miller. A student of the great Lenny White, Miller is steeped in jazz roots while adapting in the mainstream to bands backing Natalie Merchant, Ani DiFranco and Brandi Carlile. On tour with Schienman, pianist Myra Melford and bassist Todd Sickafoose, Miller brings her excellent second album Boom Tic Boom to life on Wednesday, Dec. 15, at 142 Throckmorton Theatre. 142 Throckmorton Ave., Mill Valley. 8pm. $18–$21, 415.383.9600.
Few holiday standbys are as enduring as A Charlie Brown Christmas, and though the television special’s simple animation is decidedly of 1965 vintage, the music composed and originally performed by Vince Guaraldi has proven itself to be timeless. The syncopated theme “Linus and Lucy� has been covered by everyone from George Winston to Built to Spill, but it’s the gliding melody of “Christmastime Is Here� that most evokes cold nights, iceskating rinks, spiced cider and light snow year after year. Ten years ago, David Benoit joined the ranks of pianists paying tribute to Guaraldi’s score with his album Here’s to You, Charlie Brown. Joined by the Napa Valley Children’s Chorus in the role of the “Peanuts� gang, Benoit brings his holiday show to town on Tuesday, Dec. 21, at the Napa Valley Opera House. 1030 Main St., Napa. 8pm. $30–$35. 707.226.7372.
His was a classic country-music story: raised in Texas, worked construction, avid fisherman, just happened to have a good voice. But by the early ’90s, after two smash-hit albums, the Grammy-winning singer Clint Black had fallen victim to the corruption in the music industry. An ugly lawsuit with his manager, who also managed the mainstream rock band ZZ Top, showed just how far away from his roots he’d come. Black would go on to bounce back, ditch his strictly Stetson ’n’ Wranglers image and continue to pump out no-frills records like 2005’s Drinkin’ Songs and Other Logic. A semiaccomplished standup comedian, Black also has an annual yen for the Christmas song; he brings the seasonal classics on Thursday, Dec. 16, at the Uptown Theatre. 1350 Third St., Napa. 8pm. $85–$100. 707.259.0123.
With climate change now an undeniable reality, its potentially disastrous consequences are, incredulously, still shielded by Republican grandstanding in the face of all scientific fact. While the “debate� rages with words, let’s not forget one environmentalist who fought with action. Julia Butterf ly Hill’s incredible streak of living for 738 days in a 1,500-yearold redwood tree in Humboldt County remains one of the most inspiring successes in environmental activism. Her actions since—such as conscientiously redirecting her taxes to worthier causes than, say, blowing up civilians in the Middle East—point toward a broader future role for the 36year-old. She appears in conversation with Peter Gabel, founder of New College of California (and son of Arlene Francis), on Saturday, Dec. 18, at the Arlene Francis Center. 99 Sixth St., Santa Rosa. 1pm. $5. No phone.

902:8=žH>DAE814 The Jacka and Husalah keep Bay Area hip-hop on the map or the Jacka, the underground hip-hop scene is a thriving, fertile ground, what with collaborations with Andre Nickatina and former Roc-A-Fella rapper Freeway on tracks like “My Middle Name Is Crimeâ€? and “They Don’t Know.â€? Yet mainstream success hasn’t eluded the Bay Area rapper, either. In 1999, Jacka got his start as part of the six-man hip-hop collective Mob Figaz, whose self-titled debut album reached No. 63 on Billboard’s Top R&B chart. Two albums later, in 2003, the group’s collaborative process took a dive, but Jacka remained close to at least one fellow group mate, the Husalah. Both lyricists are set to perform on Dec. 18 at the Phoenix Theater. Following the footsteps of E-40, Too $hort and Master P, the Jacka runs his own independent record label, Artist Records. According to Jacka, mainstream hip-hop has been losing ground to the underground through a trickle of rappers fed up with the music industry and thriving on the unsigned scene. In an interview with HipHopDX, he says, “There’s so much politics with signing. . . . I know a lot of dudes that have major record deals, and it seems like if they haven’t been in the game for a long time, these dudes hardly ever get paid.â€? In the case of Husalah, it’s less about the bills and more about the skills. On E-40’s highly addictive track “Lightweight Jammin’,â€? Husalah turns in a guest verse over an excruciatingly catchy hook coupled with a amboyant beat, audaciously dancing in an over-the-top lyrical fashion, rapping in trademark lingo like “Slap tremendo / Knock ridiggly.â€? With Husalah, underground hip-hop seems to be in some safe hands—even if those hands are holding an undisclosed beverage. The Jacka, Husalah, D-Lo and J. Stalin perform Saturday, Dec. 18, at the Phoenix Theater. 201 E. Washington St., Petaluma. 8pm. $25. 707.762.3565.

By Gabe Meline

y number-one album of the year, LCD Soundsystem’s This Is Happening, is proof that when dance music is infused with a human element, powerful alchemy ensues. The masterpiece of 40-year-old James Murphy—a New York clubgoer perpetually reconciling lifestyle with age—This Is Happening is a portrait of coming down from the giddy highs of youth and maturing into the stance captured on this, a pulsing dance record refreshingly aware of real life. Murphy’s tenderness is stabbed by blurby analog synths, dirty hi-hats and sardonic humor throughout; it’s probably the firstever club banger for the long dark teatime of the soul, and it’s what I listened to more than any other record in 2010. A pair of records both from the Type imprint grab my second and third slots. Type is a “noise� label, however a curious shift this year was that noise, as a genre, got a lot less noisy. Thus for all the abrasiveness of the Yellow Swans’ Going Places, from Portland, Ore., a simple, buried beauty manifests itself anew with each listening. Beauty is more overt on Johann Johannsson’s And in the Endless Pause There Came the Sound of Bees, a piano-driven score with miraculously soaring themes and brilliant orchestration. Uplift never sounded so effortless. I danced on my own more times to Robyn’s Body Talk, Pt. 1 than any other record this year, and though I truly loved only half its songs, that it still hit number four on my list is testament to their power. Sandwiched between an opening track called “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What to Do� and a closing cover of a jazz song sung in Swedish, the diminutive pop star delivered a message of joy not lost on a world crippled by recession
and war. Rather than deliver listeners from war, Titus Andronicus’ The Monitor at number five is a fierce blast of historyobsessed Civil War-era inebriation, at home alongside the Clash, Bright Eyes, Bruce Springsteen and the Replacements. Number six brings Standard Fare’s The Noyelle Beat, which has more hooks than any other nonpop record. The three-piece churns out compact melodies and guitar riffs with lyrics set on heartbreak—is it any wonder they’re from England? The lo-fi snapshot of innocence from Woodsist Records that is Welcome Home (Diggin’ the Universe) will take any musician back in time to recording his first garage band on a Radio Shack cassette player. With each listen, every song grew on me, ranking it in at number seven. After a four-year silence, the Velvet Teen’s No Star marks such a welcome comeback that it would probably make this list even if it wasn’t a complete revelation. As it is, the genredefying music, complex yet fluid, pads a voice of resurrected purity for a number eight slot. Purity pervades Jack Attack’s My Rights Were Violated, a self-released effort by a highfunctioning mentally disabled Santa Rosa musician who found catharsis from being bullied in his visceral, undeniable metal anthems of reclamation. Even after tracking Jack down at his job rounding up shopping carts and getting to know him, I remain beguiled by every moment in his music, making for a clear number nine. Coincidentally, number ten is Jason Moran’s Ten, the sound of truly singular pianism and easily the year’s best jazz record. Rounding out the extended 2010 list are albums by Goodriddler, Nicki Minaj, RVIVR, Daniel Bjarnason, Hanalei, Sam Amidon, Superchunk, Hearse, Flying Lotus, Best Coast and plenty more.

Yountville’s Winterscape celebration embraces small-town tradition or 11 months of the year, the Napa Valley town of Yountville serves as a luxurious getaway for tourists while still providing enough small-town charm for residents. But during the winter, Yountville’s smalltown charm transforms the city into a picture print by Currier & Ives for this year’s first annual Winterscape celebration. While the usual Yountville activities like winetasting and hotel packages take on a Yuletide theme, more whimsical (and more affordable) attractions are also a part of the Winterscape festivities. On weekends, Santa makes the trek down from the North Pole to appear at Yountville’s V Marketplace to pose for pictures and hear holiday wish lists. Also for the kiddies is the Napa Valley Museum’s exhibit by renowned collector Dolph Gotelli, who evokes childhood memories of days gone by with his collection of 18th- and 19th-century toys, games and decorations in a series of vignettes. The Dreams of Toyland exhibition is $10 for adults and free for children. For a more gymnastic crowd, visitors can put blade to ice at the marketplace’s outdoor ice skating rink. With admission at $12 for adults and $8 for children eight and under, the rink also features holiday music, twinkling lights and a menu of delectable goodies. Skaters age 21 and over can warm up with a hot toddy or holiday cocktail after 6pm. While it may not be quite the same as a one-horse open sleigh, a horse-drawn carriage gets the job done just as easily. On Saturdays, a team of Percheron horses leads a holiday-decorated carriage down Yountville’s Washington Street for complimentary rides. Blankets are provided to keep riders warm and toasty. Only in the Napa Valley can one find a “Santa sommelier,� and only during the weekends is he on hand rinkside for the North Pole “Drink & Clink� showcasing some of Napa’s top wines. Pair one of Santa’s selections with a menu of pulled pork sliders or roasted chestnuts— open fire not included. It’s all part of Winterscape, running through Jan. 23 in downtown Yountville.
