The death of a government career

have, for the last month and a half, come back into my body, my spirit, my heart and my home. I have been gone for years, not realizing that the end of an era, mine, had its own trajectory, and that I would naturally emerge from the wreckage of my civil service career. Over a decade ago, I had the chance to volunteer to be laid off from a lucrative job when my manager told me that my coworker would be terminated the next day as layoffs rippled through the company. On that evening, I felt lucky to make that offer for the man who was my friend and coworker. As the company shaved its staff, my friend had time to seek other, more secure, employment. For me, this sacrifice allowed me to exit with power and with pride. I have never regretted that move. But the trail does not end with our hero riding off, the bad guys vanquished. Instead, I began a career of public service, beginning as an entry-level clerk for local government after a monolithic application process. I started at the bottom and worked with honesty, diligence and compassion. It took me six years before I reached a position of authority and responsibility. I was told by my supervisors, my coworkers and the public I served that my professional reputation was respected and admired for all that I was able to accomplish as a government worker. Yet in the end, it all began to unravel, and no one seemed to care. Being a part of a union did not help me nor did I feel supported by my union. In fact, when I asked them to intervene in our office as the mucky-mucks began to restructure, they said they would stand behind me as I laid my neck on that bloody chopping block. So much for a decade of union dues. Over the past year, I watched as the head of the office began to restructure office positions and methods as the county department heads were directed to reduce their budget by 20 percent. I watched as procedures were created to deal with staff reductions and I felt these changes were unethical and dishonest. I felt that I could no longer represent the people of Sonoma County as an honest, fair, forthright public servant. I had to make excuses for all we could no longer offer to
the very people I was asked to serve. Finally, I was asked, in a staff meeting, to obscure the methods we used from the public. I was asked to lie about our new timesaving methods. And so this is where the final showdown began as the end of the fiscal year came into view. There was no sheriff ’s posse to come to my aid. My union was nowhere in sight. My sense of ethics was threatened and so was my reputation. Monday morning meant I was that much closer to being asked to lie in order to support my wages. I talked to my friends and my family for direction. I tried to talk to my coworkers, but they all seemed like cattle in the shoot without a Temple Grandin in sight. Our officer manager used the Jonestown analogy of “drinking the KoolAid� in a staff meeting, and I boiled with anger and regret over how such an honorable career had become so dirty. In the end, it was really the values upon which I was raised by Depression-era parents and upon which I live my life that illuminated the exit sign. I was hired to represent the public with honesty and fairness. However, I was directed, at the end, to let the computer program purchased with tax funds to make that choice. I was asked to lie about the source of the decision. I clicked the mouse and, therefore, I was responsible for the deceit. I chose to leave before I had to lie about my work. It was with sorrow and with a great sense of personal honor that I chose to end this career. I am getting free, and it shows on my face. You can find me volunteering at three different nonprofits, running around Spring Lake, writing, reading, hiking to Lake Ilsanjo during the week, going to the gym. I am coming back into my life. I do not regret my decision. However, I still seek an employer who can appreciate a trailing-edge baby boomer who still believes in hard work, honesty and fairness with service to others as its mission. Wish me luck. I think I shall need it.
I chose to leave before I had to lie about my work.

Thank you so much to Leilani Clark for shedding a bit more light on the disgusting, cowardly, pro– David Rabbitt “Sanctuary Is No Picnic� mailer sent out like a sucker punch at the last minute of the campaign for county supervisor (“The Fallout of Fear, Postage Paid,� Dec. 15). I hope “we�—including the Press Democrat and Argus-Courier—keep pursuing this matter until those responsible are outed individually and publicly. Then we might have a chance to clear the air and have a real conversation about immigrants and their integral part in our local economy and culture.
Congratulations for running the important story by Leilani Clark about the despicable mailers defaming Second District supervisorial candidate Pam Torliatt. Over the past years I have fumed and fussed about the arrogant, misleading spin printed on postcards and mailings. The incorrect accusation that Torliatt overtly, whole-heartedly supported “sanctuary� is business-as-usual at the Press Democrat. Thanks for having the courage to publish this well-written, carefully documented story. If only more reporters were like Leilani Clark, and more local publications were courageous like the North Bay Bohemian.
The Racial Justice Allies of Sonoma County are deeply troubled by the racism used in David Rabbit’s election campaign. We demand that the Sonoma County Alliance retract its false characterization of immigrants as murderers. We thank the Bohemian for highlighting this critical issue. As a multicultural group, we are troubled that those who have the power to define which issues are important and the means to create a public discourse are using those advantages to dehumanize and create fear. The campaign mailer not only scapegoated immigrants, it was a gift to white people who wish to do harm without public scrutiny. As anti-racist allies, we expect more from those in power. Rather than racist generalizations, we demand an honest discourse that addresses the actual issues at hand. For example, should county employees collaborate with ICE when facilitating the deportation of persons not convicted of serious crimes? Does the free flow of private money into political campaigns encourage this type of propaganda? We invite anyone from David Rabbitt’s campaign, anyone from the Sonoma County Alliance and any concerned members of the community to join us in conversation at our next meeting on Jan. 20, at 6:30pm, at 547 Mendocino Ave. in Santa Rosa.

The unemployed get their benefits extended for 13 months, while the wealthy get theirs extended for two years! There is certainly something wrong with this deal. Thank you Lynn Woolsey for standing strong and voting no on this piece of unfair and unbalanced legislation.

Big plastic, big green dreams and the little lies that push public opinion By Kylie Mendonca
B
tephen Joseph is the attorney and spokesperson for a particularly litigious Bay Area group called Save the Plastic Bag Coalition, and he’s gruff and nippy when he answers the phone, without so much as a customary hello. Talking to him doesn’t get easier as the minutes tick by. “You’re wasting my time,� he says outright. “If you haven’t read the website, you’re wasting my time.� In fewer than seven minutes, this conversation has become ugly. It will soon end, as abruptly as it began. The next question asked is about the fact that the group he represents doesn’t list the names of any of its members on the website. Why doesn’t the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition even name the companies that fund it?
Click. Joseph hangs up. “All we want,� he’d said before slamming down the phone, “is that the environmental truth is told.� The truth, according to court documents, is that the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition is a group of plastic bag manufacturers and distributors that have used the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to sue several cities and counties in California, including Oakland and Palo Alto, over ordinances that ban single-use plastic grocery bags. In the North Bay, Marin County will likely be the next defendant to face legal action should county supervisors pass a plastic bag ordinance Jan. 4. At a Dec. 14 meeting, the Marin Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the language for an ordinance that would ban plastic bags and add an additional 5 cent fee to paper bags. At this point, the language has only to be adopted after the new year
begins. The ordinance would not go into effect until 2012. Joseph says he plans to ask the county to complete a costly environmental impact report before they pass the ordinance. Deputy county council, David Zaltsman, said he has been in contact with Joseph but has not yet received any official request for an EIR, while county supervisor Charles McGlashan remains firm. “Well, he can ask for an EIR,� McGlashan says, “but we’re not going to do one. This is a categorically exempt issue. We think we are on very solid ground, legally.� For Marin County, this has been an ongoing effort that began more than five years ago, with the dedicated efforts of McGlashan leading the way. The effort was briefly halted earlier this year when the California Legislature seemed poised to pass a more sweeping bill to ban plastic bags statewide. That effort failed and, in fact, % -

resulted in a law that prohibits California retailers from adding a surcharge to plastic bags. Despite these setbacks, McGlashan says the county plans to make its Green Business Certification Program more stringent by requiring businesses to be completely singleuse-bag-free within the next three years. Banning plastic grocery bags is highly fashionable among cities wishing to “go green.� San Francisco, naturally, was the first U.S. city to do it, in 2007, and the idea quickly seeped out into the rest of the state. Since the initial ordinance in San Francisco, however, many questions have come up concerning the actual environmental impact of banning plastic bags. The suits brought by the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition play devil’s advocate to the notion that banning plastic bags is good for the environment. The Coalition, under CEQA, has demanded that cities and counties complete EIRs to prove that banning plastic bags won’t do more harm than good. The Coalition maintains that many of the detrimental effects of plastic bags on the environment have been blown out of proportion. “There is a tremendous amount of misinformation out there,� Joseph says, pointing to a leaflet from the county of Marin, that reads, “Certain chemicals found in plastics (especially BPA, phthalates, PFOA, PFOS, polystyrene and additives such as antimony, cadmium and lead) are associated with a who’s who of modern disorders, including asthma, cancer, diabetes, obesity, premature puberty and reproductive failure.� Joseph calls statements like these “fabrications.� Further, he says the number of incidents concerning marine animals ingesting plastic bags has been grossly overestimated. Marin County officials are being careful to point out that their ban is not just about plastic, and it’s not about paper versus plastic. The ultimate goal, according to McGlashan, is to move away from single-use bags completely. That is what Marin County is banking on when and if its initiative is challenged in court. Shortly after San Francisco’s ban went into effect, the cities of Oakland and Fairfax passed similar ordinances. Like San Francisco, they claimed exemptions from completing EIRs on the basis that their new laws would only have a positive impact on the environment. The Save the Plastic Bag Coalition sued the city of Oakland, and Oakland lost. The ordinance was repealed. When Fairfax was presented with a legal challenge to its ordinance, the city chose not to go to court based on Oakland’s experience, and voluntarily nullified the ordinance. (Fairfax voters then overwhelmingly passed Measure C, which prohibited plastic bags and was not subject to the same CEQA regulations.) Though Marin will likely face a legal challenge, county supervisors are not going into the process blind. “Our belief,� Zaltsman says, “is that with the charge on paper bags, people will be forced into using reusable bags. . . . That’s what distinguishes our ordinance from others. We believe we are exempt under CEQA, because in addition to the ban on plastic, we also have the charge on paper.� His theory is yet to be tested in court.

hen I heard that Noel Schmidt, humanist founder of Patchworks Farm in Santa Rosa, had suffered a severe stroke and was in the hospital, I wanted to do anything I could to help. Many others whose lives have been touched even peripherally by Schmidt are collectively thinking about ways to keep Patchworks Farm open and serving the kids of Sonoma County until its founder can recover and return to the farm. If you live in Sonoma County, your life has already been improved by the work going on at Patchworks, because it’s a place where vulnerable kids find nature, functioning sustainability and encouragement that they might not find elsewhere. It creates a positive ripple effect. “Part of the reason I want to keep Noel’s nonprofit healthy while he is recovering,� says Judy Greaney, who is in charge of community-based learning at Ursuline High School, “is to keep the students coming to the farm he created.� Greaney, who’s known Schmidt for over 20 years and worked with him at the inception of the farm, explains that Patchworks started as a rescue farm for horses that provided animal therapy for homeless children. “They rehabilitated the horses and brought kids in from the homeless shelter and taught them how to ride and how to care for the horses,� explains Greaney. “Noel and others also repaired old bicycles and made them available for children whose families could not afford to purchase them.� Patchworks expanded and shifted from horse rehabilitation to an outdoor sustainability classroom. Several years ago, a few students asked to build a biodiesel station, and Schmidt was the one who gave them a place to do it. That was the beginning of student-driven environmental learning projects. From there, Patchworks added a garden and some chickens, and the adults made room for students to choose projects. Two years ago, Patchworks was one of several recipients of a $39K grant from State Farm to support student-originated sustainability projects. Aware that the world ecological balance is suffering from widespread incidents of colony collapse disorder, students
decided to keep bees at Patchwork. They are still caring for those bees, even through the winter—and the crisis that put Schmidt in the hospital for five weeks. Now back at home, Schmidt faces what his daughter Anna calls “a long road ahead� in terms of recovery. Anna, one of Schmidt’s five children, tells the Bohemian that people everywhere have responded compassionately to the news. “When he first had the stroke, he couldn’t talk or move himself at all,� says Anna. “Now he can talk, process information and walk with a walker and someone there helping him. His spirits are high. The doctors are saying he may recover, and though everyone’s brain is different, I expect him to make a full recovery.� Meanwhile, Patchworks Farm’s largest obstacle is that Schmidt is the spokesperson for the farm, the one who normally goes out and gets the funding to keep the place running. The nonprofit also happens to provide Schmidt’s income and the medical insurance that he is dependent upon throughout his recovery. Margo Hardy, Noel’s niece, is the point person for a fundraiser to be held in early 2011 benefiting Patchworks. “We are in the very beginning stages of creating a fundraiser, but we need people to continue to support the mission of Patchworks,� says Hardy. “People can help while Noel is unable to do the outreach that he normally does during this time.� The Patchworks mission is to inspire, connect, foster and provide the tools necessary to educate and engage students in the environmental education programs and projects. “These are really get-your-hands-in it projects,� says Hardy, “and Noel’s vision of ecoliteracy and restoration has really enriched the lives of kids.� Tax-deductable donations can be made to support Patchworks by visiting www. patchworksfarm.org and clicking “Support Us.� Donations may also be mailed to Patchworks Farm, PO Box 9365, Santa Rosa, CA, 95405. Those who wish to give time and energy to the upcoming fundraiser may contact organizer Margo Hardy at hardym@ comcast.net.

1dQQ[X]V >eTa 1dSVTc Our guide to 2010’s best sparkling wine over $25 By James Knight

t the end of 2009—a year whose demise, many of us reported, we couldn’t wait to toast—the Bohemian offered readers a guide to getting tight on a tight budget with some of the North Bay’s finest sparkling wines costing less than $25. This year, we look back upon a recovering economy in which bankers prospered, and the housing market, um . . . and unemployment, um . . . and don’t forget the grape harvest, which saw disaster followed by rain . . . aw, screw it. We call party-time. It’s the holidays, folks. It’s New Year’s Eve! Let’s check the scrimpy, crimpy budgety thing at the door—for now—and put 2010 on ice with the help of some of the finest bubbly from North Bay wineries. This year, we look at middle and top-tier sparklers, some of which have been in bottle since the start of this decade, blissfully sleeping it through. We can
always write ourselves a New Year’s resolution the next morning: “I will not splurge on delightfully tongue-tingling effervescent spirits to share with some of my best friends and relations . . . until everybody gets a tax cut.� Done. Wines were blind-tasted and scored on a scale of 1 to 5 by Bohemian staff and freelance writers, who, like the squirrelly, creative souls that they are, also liberally added their own inventive comments. Mumm Napa Brut Reserve ($36) Bright and clean. Aromas of lemon blossom and saltine cracker lead to crisp, Pinot Grigio–like flavors in this roundly-lauded, well-balanced sparkler: “Sea monkey bubbles; Middle Earth in the springtime; full body, fresh construction; hits all pleasure mouth points; perfectly balanced carbonation; elfin sweat; like a delicious piece of wood.� Score: 4.4 Mumm Napa 2001 DVX Napa Valley ($60) This late-disgorged, signature sparkling, named
for founder Guy Devaux, has a freshness that put it ahead of others. Faint cream and f loral, citrus blossom aromas lead to an elegant, airy mousse that fills the mouth with light bubbles: “Lemon cheesecake; tobacco farm, with soft puppetry; comfort; reminds me of the NYE party in which I played soccer with two dogs in the rain.â€? Score: 4 Gloria Ferrer 2002 Royal CuvĂŠe Carneros Brut ($32) Softer and slightly sweeter than the rest of the bruts, this cuvĂŠe of mostly Pinot Noir shows hints of chamomile and rosemary with cream, baked biscuit and elderflower, with a less assertive, creamy mousse: “Flowery; refined, wellbalanced palate; lush, lingering; elegant, smooth; sweet and light, like KOIT-FM; Disney princess Champagne—tastes pink; very sexy, fill ’er up.â€? Score: 4 Domaine Chandon Étoile Brut ($40) Honey, apple cider character with aromas variously described as Christmas candle or Moroccan market, comes on strong with honeyed, &) THE BOHEMIAN

roiling bubbles that cut out fast, leaving a long-lingering, pleasant finish: “Midfizz sweep and soft, lingering ride; honeyish, both sweet and dry; musky campfire; nice fizz, throat-zap, but I can take that.â€? Score: 3.5 Gloria Ferrer 1999 Carneros CuvĂŠe ($50) Nine years aging on the yeast lent this latedisgorged sparkler a complex bouquet likened to aged cheese, espresso crema, a grotto or warm bed sheets. A spirited mousse in this still-lively vintage lead abruptly to a low-key, golden-raisin flavored finish. Opinion split: “Like an unfinished story; aggressive, punchy; smooth, light, lemon honey; assertive, confident, choose your own adventure; smells like Jem and the Holograms, but tastes like the Misfits. Bordering on the Bikini Kill of sparkling wines.â€? Score: 3.3 Domaine Carneros 2006 Carneros Brut ($26) Clean and lean, with a lemony, roiling mousse and austere finish, this brut was thought to be structurally solid, simple, easy to like: “Aroma of flowery twilight, businesslike taste; bubbly tinkerbell, light and fluffy; Laffy Taffy; rustic bubble; something served at a company holiday party.â€? Score: 3.2 Iron Horse Vineyards 2005 Classic Vintage Brut ($34) While a temporary sulfurous edge to the earthy, lagered aroma lingered too long for some, grapefruit-tart flavors and lively, assertive fizz won over the other half: “A Mendocino closetful of clothes; mushroomy, robust and dank, a cave monk’s Champagne; Pop Rocks; taste better than aroma, nice acidity.â€? Score: 3 Mumm Napa 2006 Blanc de Blanc ($30) Classic, clean. With just two of us noting a faint bouquet of yeast, this quite bubbly bubbler had an austere, metallic edge to granny smith, golden pear f lavors: “citrusy, fizzy then f lattens out; dry; concentrates on tip of tongue; zaps sides of tongue; hecka bubbles, doesn’t kick into hella.â€? Score: 2.7 Schramsberg 2003 J. Schram ($100) Leading with vanilla, toasted nut and biscuit with a hint of Frangelico, this full-bodied, Chardonnay-based North Coast blend had significantly more weight and a finer mousse than the rest, managing at the same time a perry finish of lager-like austerity—a style that much of the group evidently does not like as much as I do: “Too aged, unfamiliar; lemony, no explosions; meatloaf; old sneakers; believe it was a bad bottle, sneaker all the way through; Sour Patch Kids.â€? Score: 2.3 Iron Horse Vineyards 2005 Green Valley Ultra Brut ($50) Spartan in aroma, with the tartly creamy tang of hollandaise sauce and smartly constructed top-palate action, this was the Lift-Off Lemon of the lineup. It got everybody’s attention, but few could get around its persistent, ultra-tart finish: “Grapefruit taste, lingering flavor; sour-tasting; tinny; Metallica, sour grass, ADHD bubbles; asparagus tones with merrygo-round bubbles; cranberryesque, like the fruit and the awful band.â€? Score: 2.1

B?4280; 2AĂ?<4 27A8BC<0B uring the holidays, the warm feelings in my heart always glow brightest in the kitchen, where I like to prepare a festive treat called White Christmas.
D
When I was in college, a stoner friend announced that he could smoke more pot with less post-nasal drip when he quit eating milk products. Until then, I’d never even contemplated the meaning of “post-nasal dripâ€? beyond its status as a mildly amusing medical term. But the term lingered in my head, joined by images of the phlegm I would sometimes hack up, loudly, and launch great distances with the sound of a whale clearing its blowhole. At the time, I was eating bovine crèmes with reckless abandon, in sandwiches, soup and coffee; on salad, bread, brownies, pasta. It was anything-goes with the bovine crème, like the sexual revolution in San Francisco, pre-VD, with white clam sauce and tiramisu instead of coke-fueled orgies. When, for the sake of that possible post-nasal drip, I stopped consuming bovine crèmes cold turkey, I began feeling better almost immediately. Meanwhile, I began exploring the possibilities of a very special nonbovine crème, one that works in almost any situation bovine crème would be called for. I call it Special Crème, though it’s known to most as mayonnaise. Its prize characteristic is making that which goes into your mouth more delicious. On steamed broccoli and toast in place of butter, on pasta instead of Parmesan, with lox on bagels instead of cream cheese, with chips and salsa, on steak and potatoes or leftover Chinese food. In Siberia, mayo is widely considered more valuable than vodka. When you place a jar of mayo on the table as you sit down to eat, it’s a bold statement and people take notice. Curiosity and skepticism are common ďŹ rst reactions as you drop a dollop of that lily-white mouth-pleasing goodness onto your dish. If you’re able to get spectators to become participants by accepting an offered dollop of their own, odds are good they’ll have a jar of their own on the table someday. Whenever I dollop Special Crème into soup or breakfast tacos, an ordinary day becomes like Christmas. And that’s the true meaning of a White Christmas: any dish with a dollop of Special Crème. And unlike Christmas, you can have Special Crème every day.

7TPeT 7^ ! Nearly every way to drink, dance and kiss your year away By Bohemian Staff
C
he tax bill, the election, the DREAM act, Sarah Palin’s Alaska—sheesh! When even Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds break up, you know it’s time to throw in the towel on 2010 and kiss the year goodbye. Here’s a ton of ways to make the turning of the calendar an intoxicating, confetti-filled, highkicking, get-down relief.
Sonoma County Let’s start during the day—early in the day. In Santa Rosa, it’s basically part of city law that before tucking in every night, everyone’s last thoughts will be, what would Charlie Brown do? Simple: attend the Schulz Museum at 10am and have a root beer toast and balloon drop at
noon—the “other� 12 o’clock. Why root beer? It doesn’t make sense? Of course it all makes sense! It’s for the families and sobriety. See how it all works together? Sure, we often wake up on New Year’s Day thinking, “What is this beast sleeping next to me?� For a truly unforgettable New Year’s Eve, Safari West is making that question quite literal with its second-annual Romp with the Beasts party. For $100, guests can dine, dance and drink the year away at a party befitting the wilderness; or, for $377, two adults can do all of the above and spend the night with wild animals in a luxury safari tent/treehouse with full accoutrements. Morning breakfast consists of mimosas and a walk with the exotic wild animals. No, it’s not a joke! Yes, it’s advance-reservation only. The Chicago Sun Times called him “a tremendous talent with a poet’s soul.� We call him our longtime
homeboy who just keeps getting better, especially with this year’s record Between Motion and Rest. On New Year’s Eve, Eric Lindell brings his unique brand of country-infused jazz to his stomping grounds at the Forestville Club, one of Sonoma County’s favorite dive bars, for just $35. Blues hounds can open wide and pop some beer bites to the free electric vibe of the Aces at the Russian River Brewing Company. The band’s many interests include spontaneous human combustion—a scientific possibility— to go along with New Year’s fireworks. By the time New Year’s Day arrives, you might end up wondering where all that heat is coming from. Hint: it’s the Aces, combusting all over 2010. (Yes, you just read that.) If 2011 promises an upswing in the economy, let’s hope for an upswing in world peace as well. Sebastopudlians channel their inner gods '% THE BOHEMIAN

One can experience the redwood forests and Gulf Stream waters without ever having to leave Petaluma on the big night. The Cinnabar Theater celebrates the new year with the opening of ‘Woody Guthrie’s American Song,’ last seen in flash-mob form at the local Whole Foods Market. Featuring two dozen of the beloved folk musician’s songs, the show is a musical journey into American life. And with tickets only $35, who wouldn’t want to tag along? The show runs through Jan. 23, but before the opening performance, a New Year’s Eve gala gets attendees in the spirit with dessert, Champagne and some dancing tunes for $60. In Petaluma, celebrants can welcome 2011 with a greasy-plate helping of the blues with a side of rock. For $50, the bash at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma features the Tommy Castro Band as they play a special 20th anniversary show with founding members Randy McDonald and Shad Harris, as well as Billy Lee Lewis, playing songs from every record they’ve ever recorded. NorBay winners Frobeck open with their unique coleslaw of rock and pop. Twenty-eleven goes strip-style for Viva Las Vegas at Chrome Lotus in Santa Rosa with DJ Beej and John Huntington. The night includes music, dancing, drinks and a balloon drop—but wait, there’s more! If you make your way through the balloons and find the “golden ticket,� you win a trip for two to Las Vegas, which includes a stay at the Palms resort, a tour of Sin City with the owner of Huntington Ink, and returning to California with a brand-new tattoo. For reals.

Out in Guerneville at the recently renovated River Theatre, there’s a quadruple bill of Stone Crow, Broken Ties, Ice and Wasted Morality. Just kidding! Those are all bands from 1986. But to those who used to frequent the theater when it was a haven for metal and punk bands, the news that Jerry Knight this year bought the building and fixed it up is a tug on the sentimental heartstrings of the hesher world. The big New Year’s Eve party this year features Peggy Day & the Gypsy Knights, the Detroit Disciples, the Samuka carnival dancers and the Buddy Owen Band. At just
$15, it’s a great way to check out the hallowed hall in its reopened glory. Sebastopol’s Hopmonk Tavern features Melvin Seals and JGB in homage to the greatest nine-and-a-half-fingered guitarist that ever lived with a full balloon drop and, in a distinctly brewpub-style twist, an IPA toast for just $40. Take that, Dom PÊrignon! . . . Over in similarly laid-back Cotati, the Pulsators take over the Tradewinds while the cheap shots flow for only $15. . . . The French Garden in Sebastopol hosts the Susan Comstock Swingtet for $25 and an optional dinner beforehand for $75. . . . At the Last Day Saloon in Santa Rosa, the Fast Eddie Band plays hits from the ’60s through the ’80s with the requisite bubbly pour and balloon drop for just $12. . . . And up near the SRJC, Jayne, Russell & Wilson take over Gaia’s Garden for a small crowd of 50 people at $20 a head.
Marin County Part of the show’s description warns that “this show contains adult material,� but unfortunately, the chances of Bill Maher stripping to Superman Underoos at the Marin Center in San Rafael are slim. Instead, the comedian and TV host is more likely to deliver a healthy booty call to gut-busting laughter. The show’s sold-out, and so is the New Year’s Day appearance at the Lincoln Theater in Yountville, but miracles can happen (for a price, on Craigslist). For $30, revelers can laugh in the new year with the Best of the SF Comedy Competition in the Showcase Theater at the Marin Center in San Rafael. Producers Anne and Jon Fox have a lasting record of topquality comedians; this year features Paul Ogata, Maureen Langan and more for the laugh factor. . . . At the Osher Marin Jewish Community Center, Michael Davis and Geoff Bolt bring comedy, juggling and who knows what else to support the main act, Kevin Meany, who even looks like Jonathan Winters! Wear your big pants and make sure not to lost the house on the $55 admission. At 142 Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, the jokes continue with resident funnyman Mark Pitta as he “pits� his laughola skills against Orny Adams in a year-end yukfest for $50. Marin musicians Austin de Lone and Jimmy Dillon provide the tunes for glass refillin’, and at a venue where Robin Williams and Sammy Hagar are known to show up out of the blue, there’s no telling what might happen. Designated drivers rejoice! The San Geronimo Golf Course knows how valuable you are on this night of nights. For safe and sober drivers attending San G’s New Year’s Eve Bash, free unlimited soft drinks are offered as well as a discounted price of $50 for dinner. Otherwise $55 gets partiers a dinner menu featuring such items as spinach bacon salad, medallions of salmon with capers and, of course, the requisite glass of champagne at midnight.

The brand-new, closed-due-to-fire and then recently resurrected George’s Nightclub isn’t going to let a little fire get it down, though Lydia Pense and Cold Blood threaten to get the place burning again with rousers like “I Just Want to Make Love to You� in a $65 party session at the Fourth Street hotspot in San Rafael. . . .

Finish the night with bubbly and the removal of masks to reveal who you just made out with in the stone-wall courtyard.

Allow midnight to fly by in a haze of hilarity at San Rafael’s Palm Ballroom, where Emmy winner Rita Abrams takes over the harbor-side venue with a star-studded group of friends for her Five-Star Revue. For $45, partiers can bust a gut as Abrams offers her witty and satirical take on topics like aging, relationships and current events with Valentina Osinski, Darlene Popovic, Joe Osborn and Sean O’Brien.
All aboard! The Old World romance of a moonlit train ride can’t be beat, unless a better train ride features alcohol and masked faces. That’s right, masks. Drink it in Phantom of the Opera–style for the party on wheels that is the Midnight Masquerade with the Napa Valley Wine Train.

t’s mathematical. When one sees as many plays as I do (between 60 and 70 a year), it’s only logical that a certain number of those shows will end up among my favorites for that particular year. I keep all of my ticket stubs in a box and review them each December as the year comes to a close. It is to be expected, of course, that some of those shows will have disappointed me, either because my expectations were too high or because the production simply failed to achieve its potential. Next week, I’ll be presenting my list of the top 10 torn tickets of 2010, my favorite shows of the year. But first, in a tradition that began in 2008, I shall take a look at the five theatrical productions that, in the year 2010, disappointed me the most. ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ (Marin Shakespeare Company) Pirates are without a doubt among the most theatrical of characters, so when the Marin Shakespeare Company announced it was putting a Pirates of the Caribbean spin on its summertime staging of Shakespeare’s Shrew, the very notion seemed a recipe for delight and high-spirited Shakespearean fun. Not that the Shrew/

pirate connection was new or anything, the Sebastopol Shakespeare Festival having put Kate and Petruchio in pirate pants a couple years ago. But as word spread that a pirate ship was being built on the stage of the Forest Meadows Amphitheatre, anticipation likewise built higher and higher: one of the Bard’s funniest plays combined with swashbuckling bad-asses. It just had to be good, right? What a disappointment, therefore, to see the actual production, in which director Bob Currier slashed the text and stuffed what was left with his own lines, most of them silly gags that would have worked better as a Saturday Night Live routine. Petruchio, supposedly our hero, was turned into an uncharming, flippantly cruel sociopath, hacking off hands (all so the actors could make bad, nonShakespearean puns) and sending people to their deaths left and right. What might have been an illuminating and delightful revisioning, all guns blazing, was instead a chaotic (though certainly energetic) misfire. ‘Peter Pan’ (SRT) More pirates. More letdown. The disappointment of this nonmusical Peter Pan, directed by James Newman from the original script by J. M. Barrie, was mainly in how close it occasionally came to brilliance, while so much of the rest was . . . not brilliant. Though I shall remember forever the gorgeously lovely dance of shadows that ended the show, I shall not soon forget the sad, empty lack of impression made by Claire Perry as Captain Hook. The promise of a rock-’em, sock-’em female Hook evaporated the minute she uttered her first anemic line, deflating my hope for a Hook with teeth and claws. The staging by Newman was so unfocused and full of activity that pivotal moments (such as the gobbling of Hook by the otherwise ingenious ticking Crocodile) were lost amid all the action and visual clutter. ‘A Christmas Carol’ (The Sonoma County Repertory Theater) Jon Tracy, who wrote this adaptation of Dickens’ classic feel-good ghost story, made a major misstep in choosing to have a repentant Scrooge narrate the story from the vantage point of an already changed man. Gone was the necessary tension that makes us hunger to see the crotchety Scrooge finally reformed. In this case, it’s the first thing we see, making the story sadly superfluous. ‘Dead Man’s Wake’ (West Side Playhouse) Larry Klein’s original play was staged with great actors (William Elsman, Tyler McKenna), telling the dramatic true story of a Mill Valley author who took his own life, thus plunging his surviving family into despair and destitution. The script, though, is self-indulgent, rambling and ultimately incoherent, burying the truly good play that still hides somewhere beneath all those words. ‘Happy Now?’ (Marin Theatre Company) In a year where nearly every show MTC put onstage wound up among my favorites, this overlong letdown about a woman’s search for happiness failed less because of its own lack of significance (though other plays have told the same story far better), but because MTC chose to market it as a scathingly hilarious skewering of modern life. While it occasionally did scathe, Happy Now? was rarely even amusing, let alone hilarious. Stay tuned next week for David Templeton’s Top 10 favorite shows of 2010.

he weight of Black Swan’s entire neon-purple romanticism falls on Natalie Portman’s thin shoulders. Starved to a skeleton for the role of a prima ballerina, Portman plays Nina, a dancer in New York alternately coddled and smothered by her mother, Erica (Barbara Hershey), who wakes her up and tucks her in at night. She sleeps in a room surrounded by a busload of stuffed bunnies. No surprise that the director of the ballet company, Thomas (Vincent Cassel), is exasperated by Nina’s overly fussy, virginal approach to the dance. In our first sight of Thomas, looming behind the rows of seats, he poses like a superhero with arms folded and chest out. Later, after the flamboyant madness and high pitch that is Black Swan, we may start to feel we’re watching a rehearsal of the Gotham City Ballet. On tap is the old mortgage-lifter, Swan Lake. “It’s been done to death, I know, but not like this!� Thomas declares. With the challenge of originality comes worse news. First is the arrival of a new young dancer from San Francisco, Lily (Mila Kunis); and second, the public jettisoning of former diva Beth (Winona Ryder), whom Thomas considers too old for the part. Trapped among rival, director and mother, Nina starts to crack. Mirrors go bad, and she hears voices. Thomas’ advice wanders out of dignified bounds (“Go home and touch yourself �), and the treacherous newcomer Lily begins to look fragrant to the shocked heroine. Self-mutilation has been in director Darren Aronofsky’s work ever since 1998’s Pi, and he prepares us for this from the beginning, when Nina cracks her toes in the morning and they sound off like gunshots.
Likewise, Aronofsky shoots the breaking in of new slippers in ghastly close-up: the pretty satin thing disemboweled of its insole, the sides stabbed with a sewing needle, the soles slashed with scissors. Nina herself is a skin picker, brutally paring her nails—when they’re not being scissored off by her mother. It’s Hershey who makes this fantasy’s mom-madness plausible. The best joke in Black Swan is the scene of Nina’s ever-ringing cell phone; its screen blares the word “MOM� in capital block letters. In the rehearsal scenes, the camera spins around with the dancers, and we hear scuffing of feet and harsh panting. It’s all hard, anguish-ridden work. When the music commences, Black Swan finally feels like a great movie, simply because the Tchaikovsky can make us believe anything. Still, it takes a while to get into the mood of cracked Freudianism Aronofsky is trying to instill here. Some of the awed reception of Black Swan seems to reflect the need for a great movie this time of year—or is it mindfulness of Michael Powell’s brokenhearted ghost, grieving at those who couldn’t succumb to The Red Shoes? Portman couldn’t be more straightfaced or more plaintive as a woman in peril. Occasionally, she can’t reach what she’s aiming at, but who can blame her? Show me an actress who can make a face like a dying swan. Yet the most effective moments in this film are the less-cooked, trademark Aronofsky ones: a reprise of a situation in Pi, the nasty experience of walking a plywood tunnel around a construction site with blind turns; the sense of a city that’s too loud, too fast, or too close; and the eyes of strangers on overlit, mostly empty subway cars.

His Way
Cooking Skills
“I hate this song,� Frank Sinatra would often remark from the stage, introducing “My Way,� “I’ve had it up to here with this goddamned song.� He had a point. Though Sinatra lived large, the egomania of “My Way� never sat well, and one can only imagine how his constant denigration of the song affected its writer, Paul Anka. Of course, Sinatra also loudly hated the type of early moon-faced, teen-idol pop Anka trafficked in, such as “Puppy Love,� “Put Your Head on my Shoulder� and “Lonely Boy,� so maybe the public bashing wasn’t such a surprise. Last year, Anka made headlines after Michael Jackson’s death when he threatened to sue the Jackson family over the writing credits of a leftover song the two had cowritten, and this year, he brings his warm holiday cheer in a show called “Christmas, My Way� to town on Wednesday, Dec. 22, at the Wells Fargo Center. 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa. 8pm. $45–$99. 707.546.3600.
After the rush of decorating, shopping, organizing, shuff ling relatives, fielding RSVPs and wrapping presents, who the hell wants to cook? One could take a cursory f lip-though of the Larousse Gastronomique as inspiration—or opt for a cooking demonstration at the Culinary Institute of America with none other than in-house Greystone Restaurant chef Polly Lappetito. Anyone with “appetito� as part of her name has to be good with food, right? And especially if you’re talking family recipes. Lappetito will be preparing her family’s Christmas manicotti recipe and demonstrating the fine art of making manicotti shells. By the day’s end, you’ll want to call off that turkey and order up eggplant, basil and chicken for Christmas dinner. Lappetito inspires on Wednesday, Dec. 22, at the Culinary Institute of America. 2555 Main St., St. Helena. 5–7pm. Free. 707.967.2320.

Broadway Baton Santa Rosa’s own Paul Staroba has come a long way from playing piano as a teenager for Santa Rosa Players’ productions of La Cage Au Folles in the pit band with off-time drummers and drunk bassists. The incredibly talented musician is now in the Big Apple, on Broadway, conducting the orchestra for none other than Bernadette Peters in A Little Night Music and tinkling the ivories for Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular. Staroba’s coming back home to help out his alma mater, Montgomery High School, in a fundraiser to send drama students to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Called Vikings Raid Broadway, it features Staroba along with other alumni, performing Broadway hits and passing the f laming torch to the next generation on Monday, Dec. 27, at the Jackson Theater. 4400 Day School Place, Santa Rosa. 6pm. $20–$60. 707.528.5395.
Sunday Imani It’s the day after Christmas, you think that it’s all over, but no—the kids are still out of school. Spending money’s out of the question, but you want to take them somewhere exciting so they’ll get out of your hair. Of course! In celebration of the first day of Kwanzaa, the Bay Area Discovery Museum offers free admission all day on the day after Christmas! All throughout the museum will be art projects inspired by Africa, as well as a traditional Kwanzaa altar in the main lobby. But most importantly, in two separate shows, drummer E. W. Wainwright will lead a jazz combo in the African Roots of Jazz, tracing the lineage of jazz, blues, spirituals and hiphop with songs, theater, and audience participation. Feel the umoja on Sunday, Dec. 26, at the Bay Area Discovery Museum, Fort Baker, 557 McReynolds Road, Sausalito. Open 9am–4pm; performances at 11am and 1pm. Free. 415.339.3900.

Tommy Castro celebrates 20 years with the blues

ommy Castro knows what he wants to hear when he puts on an album. “When I listen to a record, I want to be taken on a little ride,â€? he says in a recent phone interview. “You want to listen to a record all the way down. You don’t want a record that you don’t want to listen to past track six. I wanted this one to be one that people are going to be saying ‘What’s he going to do now?’â€? “This oneâ€? is Hard Believer, Castro’s 10th solo album, which showcases Castro versions of Bob Dylan and Allen Toussaint songs, and lays out a little autobiography. The Dylan song is a rather surprising choice—“You Gotta Serve Somebody,â€? from the 1979 gospel album Slow Train Coming. “It’s one of those songs I’ve always loved,â€? Castro said. “Dylan’s lyric writing is amazing. As a songwriter, I’m in awe of the stuff that rolls off his brain.â€? The Toussaint cover, “Victims of the Darkness,â€? features a hard New Orleans funk that’s different than anything the band has ever done, Castro says. So is the unclassiďŹ able “The Trouble with Soulâ€? that closes the record. “That song kind of grabbed me,â€? he said. “I kept wanting to play it again. It let me play a little different style of guitar. I stretch out on my guitar work a little on this album.â€? That stretching came at the same time Castro, who has been playing since age 10 and began his career in San Francisco bands 30 years ago, started taking guitar lessons. “I’d played everything I knew, so I had to learn something new,â€? he said. “I learned that it’s fun to play guitar. I’ve expanded my horizons a little.â€? Castro’s New Year’s Eve show at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma, slowly becoming an annual tradition, will serve as a special 20th anniversary for the band. Founding members Randy McDonald and Shad Harris will be on hand to play songs from every single record the Tommy Castro Band has recorded. “We’re always a band,â€? Castro says. “I’ve always considered this as sort of a group effort.â€? Tommy Castro plays Friday, Dec. 31, at the Mystic Theatre. 21 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 9pm. $50. 707.765.2121. L.

<Xaa^a <P]
Remembering Captain Beefheart By Gabe Meline
F
e used to play Trout Mask Replica to clear people out of the store at closing time. It was 1997, in Portland, Ore., the hometown of Matt Groening, who famously called Trout Mask “the greatest album ever made.� Most customers called it unlistenable. That was my introduction to Captain Beefheart, aka Don Van Vliet, who died last week at age 69 from complications due to multiple sclerosis—as a utility. Is not most all music, at its core, utilitarian? We seek music that we can dance to, that we can read to, that we can drive to, that we can make out to. But Trout Mask Replica is none of the above, unless the goal is for those activities to go unrecognizably awry. It certainly wasn’t music to shop to, and thus, like a janitor, it effortlessly mopped customers out of the store and back to the safety of the predetermined. Partially due to its built-in jaggedness and partly due to owning it on double LP, split into four sides of dense listening, I have never listened to Trout Mask Replica in its entirety,
beginning to end. Even so, it’s clearly one of the greatest records ever made, because, like a mop, it collects the detritus of so many genres—blues, free jazz, early psychedelia, spoken-word poetry—and wrings them out into a fascinating if crowded pail. Not all pails need to be shotgunned. What Beefheart does with this detritus is fascinating. He doesn’t attempt, at least in conventional ways, to shape it into a cohesive whole; instead, guitar parts scurry in and out of time, the drums clunk hobblingly under the beat, and Vliet, who didn’t want to hear the music when recording his vocals, coughs, sputters, scowls and bellows around the rhythm, resulting in even more elasticity. But to say it’s “sloppy� overlooks its careful orchestration. Trout Mask Replica had been rehearsed tirelessly and monastically for eight months at a house in Laurel Canyon, where no band members were allowed to leave and usually ate one bowl of soybeans per day. As a result, the album took just four and a half hours to record. With an output spanning 15 years, Vliet’s influence is mammoth, but not blanketing. As little kernels of his vision worm into other artists’ work, his music is a contagion that prefers to whisper its name. One noticeable exception is Tom Waits, whose debt to Beefheart shouts even beyond the lumbering, Dolphy-by-way-of-junkyard music of his mid-’80s period. To see footage of Beefheart live is to see the source of Waits’ flailing arms and door-hinge wrists, and both fled Los Angeles to stay creative by the California coast (to say nothing of the shared hat tip to Howlin’ Wolf). What hurts is learning what a dictator Beefheart could be. Abandoned by his more respected peers like Ry Cooder and, later, Frank Zappa, Beefheart sealed his fate as a recluse by walking off the stage at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1968 before his first song was finished. For the next 13 years, he kept trying to walk away, with various botched record contracts signed and broken, until his rudimentary painting finally reeled him away from music forever. By that time I came across him in 1997, Vliet had long since retired from music. None of my friends knew exactly where to, other than “the desert,� and when the internet got good at tracking these things, it didn’t offer much more than “rural Northern California.� The news came last Friday, during a busy workday, that Vliet had died at Mad River Hospital in Arcata, Calif. I shuffled into the Bohemian newsroom to break the news, expecting blank stares. Surprisingly, the entire editorial staff not only knew who Vliet was but professed their love of his work. For every 10 people his music drove away, it seems, one person was made richer for it. Such people tend to converge. This past week, Trout Mask Replica has probably been played more times than ever in the past 40 years, as memoriam. But to his many followers, Beefheart is mirrored in every parking lot full of cars whose windshield wipers bleat off-time; he’s on every farm with competing pig squeals, tractor horns and dinner bells; he’s in every trinket store with multiple music boxes chiming at once. Wherever so-called cacophony reigns, Captain Beefheart is there, making sense of it all.

Producer of ‘The Ring’ to film series in Napa? apa Valley may be about to get a whole lot creepier. The sweeping hills and scenic vineyards are both a haven for tourists and a source of great pride for locals, but they’re the last place one would expect to find anything more sinister than a bad batch of bacteria. Until now, that is. NBC is currently planning a new supernatural primetime soap opera for its 2011 season. The series, aptly titled Vines, will be set in Napa Valley, and will focus on a troubled family of winemakers and their lives, not unlike the CBS drama Falcon Crest, which aired from 1981 to 1990. But unlike the characters on Falcon Crest, Vines’ fictitious family won’t be plagued by money-hungry relatives or an overbearing matriarch, but instead will be forced to grapple with the mystical and potentially dangerous powers that lie within their own grapevines. With this formula, and with a high-profile horror producer reportedly on board, Vines is sounding more and more like Falcon Crest meets Children of the Corn. Mystical and paranormal themed shows had a rather large following in the late 1990s with Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and though ABC’s Supernatural is still going strong after six seasons, these days there seems to be little room for more than one successful network series dealing with the occult at a time. CBS’ Ghost Whisperer was cancelled after five seasons and ABC’s short-lived Eastwick lasted only one. Hollywood news sites report that Vines was originally conceived as a feature film by writer Mark Kruger and was adapted as a series with the help of film producers Michael Aguilar and Taka Ichise. While Ichise has proven in the past to be a master of the atmospheric horror film, having produced the original Japanese productions of The Ring, Dark Water and The Grudge, it’s unknown how his style will translate into American prime-time television. It’s also unknown if Vines will actually be filmed in the Napa Valley, or how the show, should it become a reality, may influence viewers’ opinions of the area. Allison Walker, vice president, communications of the Napa Valley Destination Council feels that despite whatever negative connotations may be portrayed in the show, it will take more than a few vines with mystical powers to taint Napa’s lustrous image. “We all know Napa Valley has magic vines,� says Walker, clearly painting the projected show with a tourism hue. “But I wouldn’t say they’re dangerous— more like wonderful.� Aimee Drew
