2WP[[T]VX]VcWT27? Yes, you can fight illegal speeding tickets By Paul Sarran
;
ike most upstanding citizens, when we get a speeding ticket, we pay it. Without thinking. We are not inclined to question authority. Especially not the authority of the CHP. However, when my wife got her third speeding ticket in the same place, on Barnes Road between River Road and Dennis Lane, in Santa Rosa, I thought, “Wait a minute— something’s wrong here.� I began to research. And thanks to David Brown’s book How to Fight Your Ticket and Win, I learned that if a radar speeding ticket is issued in a location where the posted speed is not justified by an engineering speed study, the ticket is illegal. (See California Vehicle Code § 40800–40808.) Even if the officer testifies that in addition to the LIDAR, he visually determined your speed, legally he is an incompetent witness and none of his testimony can be used. That is the law. Perhaps my wife’s tickets were actually illegal, I realized. I decided to find the speed study for Barnes Road. CALTRANS didn’t have it. They were very helpful, though, and suggested I try a more local authority. Sonoma County Public Works had the study, and also issued a statement that there was no valid study for the road, which they provided free of charge. The most recent study dates back to March of 1989. Since, for the purpose of speeding convictions, the study is not supposed to be more than five years old, I knew we had a legitimate case. All three tickets were issued illegally. Unfortunately, my wife had already pled guilty to the first two, as a compliant and trusting citizen would. We were left with a sense of injustice. We could have gotten those tickets removed by visiting the DMV with a copy of the court’s judgment of dismissal for cause, but we have to take the time to do it. That is a cost. So we requested a formal trial with the officer present. In order to use these documents in court, I sent copies of the papers we had to the CHP, along with requests for the officer’s notes from the back of the ticket. We also
requested that the CHP produce a valid speed study as part of the discovery process. We got a letter back from the CHP with the officer’s notes and a statement saying that they were not in possession of a valid speed study. The day of the trial, several CHP officers present stated that the officer was out tending to an accident and would be late. We sat in court all day. The officer never did show. We were the last to be heard that day. When the judge offered all kinds of reduction bargains, we remained firm and refused. The judge offered to drop the case, since the officer hadn’t shown. We didn’t accept. We showed the judge the speed study, the declaration of lack of valid survey and the note from the CHP that they were not in possession of a valid study. Shocked, the judge immediately dismissed the case “in the interest of justice.� That is what we wanted, and that is why we spent all day waiting: to have our day of being heard in court, and to have justice. During this process, we were told that the CHP “dot their i’s and cross their t’s,� and that they would never operate an illegal speed trap. This is a myth. All three of the officers who issued those tickets simply ignored the law. Officers have issued hundreds of tickets at that spot on Barnes Road—all illegal since 1996! I think the individual officers and the CHP owe their victims damages. We paid fines, got points on our licenses, experienced raised insurance rates and could have lost our license or job because of points on our licenses. It is their fault, and they should be held responsible for the damages they caused. They can’t say they didn’t know. They are the first ones to tell us that ignorance of the law is no excuse. This warrants legal suits against the CHP. They got it wrong, and they should have to pay for breaking the law.
They are the first ones to tell us that ignorance of the law is no excuse.

F8=4F0C4AB743B Thanks for your article discussing the relationships between water use and declining fish populations (“The Wrath of Grapes,� Jan. 26). As a local hydrologist who has worked on both fisheries restoration and vineyard development studies, I am well-versed in these issues. The article discusses several important concepts, one being the misconception that groundwater and surface water are not connected, the second being cumulative impacts. When permits are evaluated on a project-byproject basis without comprehensive study of the watershed as a whole, streams can be significantly impacted even though individual project impacts may be small. These concepts highlight the disconnect between the compartmentalized
regulatory framework and the interconnectedness of the natural world. In order to move past the “blame game� and develop effective strategies for managing these watersheds, our approach must acknowledge this interconnectedness. The application of computer models which are capable of simulating the relationships between groundwater f low, surface water f low and water use is one solution. These models provide a means of leveraging monitoring data into a comprehensive understanding of watershed conditions and provide a means of evaluating cumulative water-use impacts in a given watershed. The tools are available; it is simply a matter of finding the desire and resources to apply them.

This, of course, referring to the terminology used throughout Kylie Mendonca’s “The Year We Were Too Busy Taking Bong Hits to Legalize Marijuanaâ€? (Dec. 29). How about as a New Year’s resolution for 2011 we try and stick to the scientific/medical terminology that is used when discussing medical plants/species/genetics? Throughout all of 2010 we saw the media refuse the scientific evidence behind medical cannabis. This was in part due to the media’s usage of terms like weed, marijuana, terrorist of the national forest, pothead, stoners, etc. Ms. Mendonca must know that when she’s referring to “weed,â€? she’s actually referencing PCP as well as cannabis—under the federal government’s eye. She must also realize that when using the term “marijuanaâ€? she’s only playing into the government’s use of derogatory techniques. The term marijuana was used as slang, but meant in a derogative sense to downplay the Mexican Army’s use of the cannabis (scientific name) plant for medicinal qualities. I was a little saddened to see this article just pages after a wonderful perspective on WikiLeaks (What will we find out about Ms. Woosley?). The article regarding Mr. Assage was a great perspective on our current government—and how truly transparent and democratic this system really is. But then, just as you start to question those around you, you turn right back to the Prohibition era and/or Reefer Madness stance. Maybe someone is a little paranoid? My real goal behind this letter? Kylie, would you like to meet for coffee sometime?

8C½B0;8E4 The makers of the Frankenfish claim that salmon farmed from genetically-modified eggs ‘are exactly the same as any other North Atlantic salmon.’

Forget genetically engineered seeds—FDA approval of genetically engineered animals could be coming By Alastair Bland
0
genetically engineered salmon that grows twice as fast as unaltered fish could find its way into markets and restaurants if the Food and Drug Administration gives the creature the green light of federal approval, an action that food-safety watchdog groups suspect may be imminent. The fish, designed by the Massachusetts biotech firm AquaBounty Technologies, is an Atlantic salmon enhanced with a growth hormone from a Chinook salmon and a gene promoter from an ocean fish called a pout. Creators of the state-of-the-art salmon, trademarked as AquAdvantage and sardonically nicknamed by its many critics
the “Frankenfish,� tout it as a sustainable and healthy seafood choice that could satisfy consumer demand while diverting fishing pressure from badly depleted wild stocks. In a report released in Sept. 2010, the FDA concluded that commercial production and consumption of AquAdvantage salmon would not likely have negative environmental or human health consequences. But many opponents of genetically engineered foods believe too many uncertainties remain about long-term impacts of genetically engineered fish to merit approval of AquaBounty’s product as a human food. Environmentalists warn that the salmon could escape from captive breeding sites, compete with wild salmon for food and mates, and interfere with natural spawning activity.
y ?40A;HF78C4B
“[AquaBounty is] using this idea that it’s in closed containment so it won’t get out,� says Casson Trenor, the senior markets campaigner with Greenpeace in San Francisco. “The thing is, there’s no guarantee it will stay this way. Aquaculture facilities have escapes.� Already, its creators have taken extreme caution in handling AquAdvantage salmon. The fish, which was designed in the 1990s, has only been grown to adulthood in Panama, where any escaped salmon would quickly succumb to the fatally warm tropical ocean waters. Siobhan DeLancey, an FDA spokeswoman, assured the Bohemian in an email that her agency is not considering any commercial production of the genetically altered salmon outside of Panama.

change if growers submit applications to produce the fish in locations elsewhere, which AquaBounty seems to be counting on. Its website states that AquAdvantage salmon “are designed for on-shore facilities that can be built closer to consumers to reduce the need for energy-intensive shipping and transportation�— a vision that does not seem to include fish production six nations south of Mexico. The website also says, “The introduction of landbased salmon farms in the U.S. would spur investment into this industry in our country.� AquaBounty, whose role in AquAdvantage salmon production would be solely as an egg supplier to third-party buyers, has designed its fish such that “AquAdvantage salmon eggs only become sterile females,� according to AquaBounty’s CEO, Dr. Ronald Stotish, who corresponded with the Bohemian via email. These salmon will be triploids, or animals bearing three complete sets of chromosomes per cell. AquaBounty claims this sterility safeguard will eliminate risk of genetically modified genes creeping into wild salmon populations. But test batches of eggs hatched by AquaBounty rendered as many as one fertile offspring (diploid fish with two sets of chromosomes to each cell) per 100 eggs, and AquaBounty’s permit application, now under review, allows for up to 5 percent of their salmon’s eggs to become fertile diploid offspring. Researchers at Purdue University in Indiana and at the University of Stirling in Scotland have described several mechanisms that could occur in wild fish populations if fertile genetically engineered salmon escape. In their worst-case hypothetical scenarios, extinction results. In its 172-page report, the FDA recognized an “extremely small� risk of AquAdvantage salmon escaping and establishing themselves as a manmade invasive species. This would require “escape (or intentional malicious release) of a large number of reproductively competent broodstock from the [Prince Edward Island] egg production facility.� Highsecurity physical barriers make such an event unlikely, the report says. Even if no genetically engineered fish ever escape, says Assemblyman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, the mere presence of farmed salmon meat harms wild salmon by hamstringing efforts to preserve the streams in which wild fish spawn. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, has publicly expressed the same concern. Huffman recently introduced Assembly Bill 88, legislation that, if passed into law, would require any genetically modified salmon sold in California be labeled as such. Sen. Begich may introduce a similar bill which would require labeling of genetically engineered fish nationwide. AquaBounty’s representatives have balked at the idea. In an email to the Bohemian, AquaBounty’s Stotish said his company favors existing federal laws which require genetically engineered foods to be clearly labeled only if the product is “compositionally different.� “Because fish grown from AquAdvantage salmon eggs are exactly the same as any other North Atlantic salmon, there is no legal authority to label the fish,� Stotish says. Indeed, the FDA stated in its September report that AquAdvantage salmon flesh —from the sterile, triploid females—is nutritionally no different than wild salmon

meat and poses no foreseeable health hazards to humans. Diploid specimens which are expected to enter the market in very small numbers were not extensively studied, however, and the FDA could not rule out possible allergenicity. AquaBounty itself has directed or overseen all research conducted on AquAdvantage salmon and provided the results to the FDA, which based its report on the data. Marianne Cufone, of the consumer watchdog group Food & Water Watch, says the testing “was very closed-door in its nature� and that the “information provided to the public has been woefully inadequate,� amounting to just a handful of documents on the FDA’s website. “We’re concerned because the testing [of the salmon] involved no FDA participation,� Cufone says. “They just took conclusions from the very company that developed the product.� At the Center for Food Safety, regulatory policy analyst Colin O’Neil notes that AquaBounty’s “application was lying on the FDA’s desk for 10 years, and then the public received only 10 days in September to look at the information.� AquaBounty’s reluctance to identify its fish to consumers is a red flag, according to Assemblyman Huffman. “If [AquaBounty] believes their product is so benign, they should have no problem with identifying it,� says Huffman, who worries that FDA approval of the product could lead down a slippery slope of deregulation, with California’s current prohibitions on farming salmon in open-ocean pens facing increased likelihood of being lifted. The open-ocean salmon farming industries of British Columbia, eastern Canada, and northern European nations have already devastated—and even destroyed—many wild populations of salmon, according to scientists in many nations. Yet AquaBounty’s Stotish assures that his company’s salmon will have net positive effects. In an email to the Bohemian, he writes, “Because the seas are fished virtually to extinction, the only way to ensure consumers get what they want is to use every tool in our toolbox.� In a poll conducted in part by Food & Water Watch, 78 percent of participants said they opposed the legalization of genetically engineered salmon as food. Though many consumers will almost certainly opt against purchasing the product if they are provided with the labeling information to do so, local chef Duskie Estes believes many others will eat it up. “Sadly, I think there will be a market for [genetically engineered salmon],� says Estes, who, with her husband, owns Zazu Restaurant in Santa Rosa, Bovolo in Healdsburg and Black Pig Meat Co. “I don’t think it would turn people off at all, even if it was labeled.� Huffman’s bill is now undergoing legislative review. In all, 14 elected officials in California and several dozen House representatives and senators have spoken out against AquaBounty’s fish. In Alaska, Sen. Begich has introduced a bill that aims to prohibit outright genetically engineered fish from being sold in the United States. Estes notes that the public has final executive power in approving or rejecting food products via the money they spend as consumers. Such a selective process cannot function, however, if buyers don’t know what they’re buying. AquaBounty Technologies hopes to keep it that way.

Lake Sonoma flows and flood control— not a pure science? By Juliane Poirier
B
ustaining a “natural� flow of water in tributaries of the Russian River is tricky business. If too much flows too fast, fish eggs nested in the gravel, aka redds, can get scoured, as can the banks of the waterway (aka erosion). Flow can be altered abruptly by storms and by releases from the Warm Springs Dam, a 30-million cubic-yard dam created by the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control and water supply. The resulting Lake Sonoma can store 381,000 acre-feet of water and release up to 29,600 cubic feet per second (cfs), and it’s the Corps of Engineers who decides how and when water escapes. But not everyone is pleased by Corps decisions. One angry Santa Rosa fisherman complained to me that the Corps a few weeks ago “blew out fishing on the Russian River just as the conditions were getting good.� The fisherman, choosing to remain anonymous, wrote, “The f low increased from 160 cfs to 2,000 cfs in 24 hours. It chased fisherman up the bank and could have washed Chinook, coho and steelhead redds out of Dry Creek’s main stem� because the release “had no relationship with the weather and natural stream f low at the time.� Did the redds get blasted out by this? When I ask this of Bill Hearn, National Marine Fisheries Service biologist, he pointes me to the Russian River Biological Opinion, a NMFS paper that claims scouring of coho salmon and Chinook salmon redds is likely to be caused when releases into Dry Creek are at 5,000 cfs. Hearn summarized by saying that “most redds in the three-mile segment between Warm Springs Dam and Pena Creek are scoured during major release operations.� Not good for fish. Peter LaCivita, a Corps biologist, defends the releases determined by those he refers to as the Corps’ “water-management folks in Sacramento� who “look at the projected rainfall and at how much water is in the flood pool, and try to release enough water from the dam to get to the bottom of the flood pool before the rain starts filling up the reservoirs.� When asked whether the fish get any
consideration in the releases made last week, for example, LaCivita says, “I believe we went up to 1,700 cfs last week, and we did maintain that release at that level long enough to get some fresh gauge readings below the dam and to calibrate our flows, then ramped back down to much lower numbers after that.� Was damage done to redds during that flooding? “Flood control releases have some impact to steelhead and salmon in Dry Creek,� Hearn claims, “limited to the more upstream reaches.� According to Hearn, the Corps has agreed to habitat restoration activities to mitigate impacts in more downstream reaches of Dry Creek. What about the Russian River between Healdsburg and the mouth of the Russian River at Jenner—are the salmon and steelhead adults, juveniles or eggs harmed there by these gushes of water? “The flood releases,� Hearn says, “very likely do not have significant impacts� on these fish in the main stem of the river. As for ruined sport-fishing opportunities, Hearn explains that the NMFS, though it “administers the Endangered Species Act for marine and anadromous species, the Magnuson-Stevens Act which addresses conservation and protection of commercially harvested fish species and the Marine Mammal Protection Act,� doesn’t have the regulatory muscle to force the Corps to alter releases unless endangered fish species are being adversely impacted. “We readjust releases depending on what circumstance calls for,� says LaCivita. “I think you need to appreciate the fact that storms are part of the ecosystem, that higher flows are needed for spawning salmon swimming upstream to spawn, and that you need a certain amount of flow to move the finer sediments out of the gravel where the fish spawn. A pulse flow of 1,700 cfs at best is not unlike a routine storm.� Very serious storm conditions, LaCivita points out, have created flows of 35,000 cfs at Guerneville. “The two dams, Lakes Mendocino and Sonoma, control only 15 percent of the entire runoff for the Russian River watershed,� he says. “And there’s some art to this. It’s not a pure science.�

ou want to see the secret room?� says Miriam Donaldson, chef at the Blue Label Restaurant, leading me into a small, dark utility closet. “Close the door,� she whispers. She scurries up a precariously balanced ladder, heading straight through a pitch-black hole in the ceiling. Luckily, we’re both bolstered by beer and shots from the 440 Club—her idea. A careful climb leads to a musty, pipe-strewn attic, and then to the belvedere cupola that gives the historic Belvedere House and the connecting bar its name. Donaldson smokes a cigarette in front one of the windows that look out onto bustling Mendocino Avenue and tells the story about how she ended up running the Blue Label
kitchen—a story that begins with running out of gas in San Diego County and ends, for the time being, here. Donaldson isn’t the type of chef that meets over a glass of expensive wine in some highclass restaurant atop a skyscraper. No, the 30year-old Kentucky-bred chef ’s territory is more laid-back, scrappier—think converted trailers, beer love and sailor’s language. She describes everything from food to formative kitchen experiences as “bad-ass� and “awesome.� She’s had no formal training—unless you count art school and self-taught farming techniques— and she brags not about the last bigwig that she’s served, but about how she and her husband lived in a house with no plumbing or electricity for three years. Her first professional kitchen work began at a funky cafe in a San Diego beach town,
where she ended up after running out of gas on her way to San Francisco. “I had a dollar in my pocket. A cute boy behind the counter at a cafe helped me out, and I ended up dating him for five years,� Donaldson says, laughing. Unlike many of her peers, she never attended cooking school, choosing to go the art route. She still paints—surrealist canvases inspired by fables. “I’ve always worked in restaurants,� Donaldson says. “Food is really great because it’s f lexible and you get cash money and you can go buy art supplies and stuff.�

ventually, Donaldson went to work at the Parkhouse Eatery, a popular San Diego restaurant. Around that time, she met Sonoma County–bred musician Josh Norwitt. Norwitt’s grandparents owned a 160-acre ranch in Petaluma—bought for cheap over 40 years ago because of its proximity to a &) THE BOHEMIAN

former dump site—and the couple decided to move up to Northern California. “We moved up here to learn how to farm,� explains Donaldson. “I was worried the zombies were coming—still am a little,� she says. They checked out books on organic farming from the library, lived in a converted roll-top trailer and both went to work at Della Fattoria, a bakery and cafe in Petaluma known for using farm-fresh ingredients. Donaldson took on owners Lisa and Aaron Weber as mentors, in both ingredients and approach. “That was my first Northern California food experience,� says Donaldson. “In San Diego, it’s all about glitz on the plate. Half the time, it’s pre-packaged stuff bought from Sysco. I’d never seen somebody say, ‘Yeah, I grew this and now I’m going to cook it and sell it.’ It was mind-boggling to me. It was a sea change.� Inspired by life on the ranch, she began keeping a journal, writing what the food grown on the land tasted like versus what she thought it would taste like. The transparency of the Della Fattoria kitchen fascinated her as well. “There’s this whole mystic chef thing where people think the chef knows exactly what’s going on at all times, that they don’t reference anything. But they had such an inside-out kitchen,� she says. Donaldson took that inspiration and ran with it, opening Humble Pie in 2007, on sheer impulse, really, after she discovered that the previous manager of the small space next to her favorite bar, Penngrove’s Black Cat, had retired. “I went straight home and I was like, ‘Dude, fuck our jobs, let’s open something.’ We opened the restaurant in two weeks; I lost about 20 pounds. We slept on the kitchen f loor. There was just no time. That was kind of intense. Turns out it’s like that all the time.�
:
nown for the homemade quality of the food, Humble Pie gained a small but rabidly dedicated following. (“Best restaurant in Sonoma County� was a not-uncommon phrase.) In October of last year, however, when Donaldson was nine months pregnant, she and Norwitt closed the doors at Humble Pie. Norwitt had planned to get a full-time job while Donaldson stayed at home to take care of the baby, paint and garden. But when the opening-day chef left Blue Label soon after New Year’s Eve, Donaldson gathered up her recipes, along with her sous chefs Beau Churchill and Shahin Kalentari—“The heart and soul of the kitchen,� she says—and returned to work. Like Humble Pie, Blue Label focuses on the homemade. Hand-crafted root beer and ketchup made entirely from scratch complement a menu that encapsulates comfort food with a modern twist.

“Suppers� include a hefty, f lavorful meatloaf laden with carrots, served with a side of roasted garlicky Brussels sprouts and creamy mashed potatoes. Meat aficionados will dig the gargantuan whiskey pork chop, or the woodsman stew concocted of rabbit and potatoes. It’s a hearty, lodge-esque menu, with a touch of home-cooked tradition. “There’s a lot to be said for food that we’ve seen cooked our entire lives, that has memories attached to it—it’s so much richer,� says Donaldson. “It becomes a twoway experience, and that’s pretty bad-ass.� As Donaldson’s garden sprouts on her Petaluma farm, she plans to incorporate more fresh vegetables into the plates, bringing to fruition a full realization of the “farm food� label.
‘We opened the restaurant in two weeks; I lost about 20 pounds. We slept on the kitchen floor.’
“I really see Mendocino Avenue as the Silk Road of agriculture,� Donaldson says as we tour the lower floor, where a taxidermied buffalo head hangs in the foyer above a manual typewriter, an antique washing machine and a record player next to a stack of vinyl. “American food has this really bad reputation for being really crappy, but I look at it as farm food. And I see Santa Rosa as a farm city. It’s totally unique like that.� In the kitchen, the sous chefs prep for the evening ahead (Donaldson points out the automatic dishwasher excitedly, since the dishes at Humble Pie were washed by hand). With our beer buzzes fading, Donaldson talks a bit about the future plans for Blue Label. With a larger space, possibilities include the opening of a cafe in the bright sunroom to the left, and an expanded, more creative menu with a little more finesse. “Humble Pie was a really unique experience, because it was so small that you could do whatever you wanted,� says Donaldson. “You develop this relationship with people, and you can bring it back to basics without having to put a lot of f lash onto it, just really focus on the cookery and the f lavor. It takes trust for the customers to think it’s worthwhile without putting a lot of glitz and tits on it. That’s what I’m trying to bring to Santa Rosa: food that is trusted enough that you don’t have to put a lot of airs onto it.�

>550;;H1DA=B >žH>D cottish poet and national treasure Robert Burns loved the haggis so much that in 1787 he wrote a poem to his adored food, perhaps even as he stared down into a pot of the bizarre dish, simmering in the stomach lining of the very sheep from whence it came.
S
For those curious about this culinary wonder, the back shelves at Gross Out (Grocery Outlet, for those uninitiated into the lexicon of the bargain market where products go to die) have purportedly produced cans of the gnarly Scottish fare, a sausagy concoction of sheep’s heart, liver, lungs, oatmeal and spices that have simmered in the animal’s stomach for at least three hours. Feel disgusted if need be, but know that haggis has been described by its fans as having an “excellent nutty and delicious savory avor.â€? Of course, another way to explore the joy of haggis is to attend the Robert Burns Party, scheduled for Feb. 5 at Monroe Hall. Organized by the Santa Rosa Scottish Dancers, this Burns night is part of a worldwide celebration of Robert Burns’ life and poetry, and includes performances by Scottish Highland, step dancing, a silent auction and a “kilt quiltâ€? rafe. Sheep’s organs will not be the only food available. Admission also includes sausages, homemade shortbread, caesar salad and a potato bar chockfull of “neeps and tatties.â€? Look for secret asks peeping out of pockets, since a dram or three of whisky is the traditional choice for washing it all down. All proceeds from the event beneďŹ t scholarships for students and families in the Scottish Dancer’s classes. And don’t worry, haggis hurling is not on the bill—at least not this year. Celebrate haggis (and Robert Burns!) on Saturday, Feb. 5, at Monroe Hall. 1400 W. College Ave., Santa Rosa. 6pm. $10–$20. 707. 588.8753.

?7854A?0E8CC F8=4B hat’s going on with that cowgirl, there? What’s she doing with that lasso? “People ask me all the time,â€? says Suzanne Phifer Pavitt. Her answer, avored with hints of a Georgia drawl, is that it really depends: cowgirl’s either got an eye on keeping her partner close in, or else she’s of a mind to rope a new one. Since landing in the ďŹ rst category, Phifer Pavitt and husband Shane have made sure that they made a weekly time slot in their busy lives for each other: a “date night.â€? No, this had nothing to do with the so-titled 2010 movie starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell. But, yes, they did get a bump from that.

Once upon a time, the Phifer Pavitts were enjoying one of their admittedly “more elaborate date nights,â€? in Italy, when they asked, “If we could do whatever we wanted, what dream would we live?â€? During a subsequent Napa jaunt, they settled that question and closed on a little property just off the Silverado Trail. Naturally, it’s not the ďŹ rst time that a couple of highying professionals pined to rusticate amid the vines here, where such stories are as unremarkable as the one where two people meet and fall in love, etc. But the Phifer Pavitts are on an enduring honeymoon with their project, have energetically communicated their theme and created a casual space for visitors to kick back and enjoy the one wine they produce: “Date Night.â€?

GrafďŹ tied with cowgirl sass, lit with recycled, fencewire “chandeliers,â€? the brand-new winery’s interior is furnished with hay bales. A sometime-working 1946 Farmall tractor ornaments the front of the building, itself largely remade from a recycled redwood barn. The massive plank bar comprises two slices from the trunk of what must have been a granddaddy of a walnut tree.

Plum jelly plays second to blueberry and cream aromas, as “Date Nightâ€? Cabernet Sauvignon ($75) opens. Red plum jam, plum skin avors play the tart, while apricot and assorted stone fruit swim in full-bodied, spicy sangria-like avors; cocoa warms the margins of the substantive ďŹ nish. Grown in Pope Valley and made by Ted Osborne of Olabisi, this Cab is their only wine. If you fancy it, get a hold of it.

CP[ZX]V?XRcdaTbFP[ZX]VCP[[ No topic off-limits for Pulitzerwinning cartoonist Mark Fiore By Jessica Dur
Âş
H
ou are the most talented cartoonist in America and you should run on television,� says a fan. “God have mercy on you,� preaches a frantic woman— obviously not a fan. “Find a real job,� coaches a Marine. These are the messages left on Mark Fiore’s voicemail, the ranting from which he posts on his website for all to hear. Some are gracious, many mean. More than one person expresses a concern to kick his ass. Not bad for a Pulitzer Prize winner. Although Mark Fiore, who appears Feb. 12 at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, is not seriously afraid for his life, he has received death threats. It’s not surprising, then, that Fiore works out of a converted warehouse in an undisclosed location in San Francisco. When I approach, I notice his name doesn’t even appear on the call box outside his studio.
But while the attention may have changed Fiore’s public profile, it hasn’t altered his work one bit. “No topic is taboo or off-limits,� Fiore tells me, echoing that as a political cartoonist, it’s his “responsibility to take a stand, even if it’s unpopular.� When he won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning last year, Mark Fiore became the first person ever to receive the award for work that does not appear in print. Though political cartoonists blossomed in the 19th century, and the category of editorial cartooning was created in 1922, Fiore is a modern-day pioneer of the trade. “The undisputed guru of the form,� according to the Wall Street Journal, Fiore broke free from print a decade ago to create flashanimated political cartoons online that, thanks to the internet and according to his website, are “seen by millions, probably even scrillions.� Given the professionalism of Fiore’s cartoons, I expect lots of fancy-looking equipment and shiny surfaces when I visit his studio. But much like the outgoing, relaxed cartoonist himself, the studio
is cozily unkempt: piles of paper and sketch pads are presided over by a towering bookcase stuffed full of actual books. For a digital artist, Fiore still swims in the world of print. Any political cartoonist needs constant fodder for the satire mill, and what’s bad for the citizenry is often good for Fiore. When I mention Bush, he grins: “He’s been beddy, beddy good to me.� When it comes to the current presidency, he admits, “As a cartoonist, I wanted McCain, but as a citizen, I wanted Obama.� And although Fiore’s perspective is unequivocally progressive, he lampoons both the right and the left. His Sarah Palin chokes on her words and says things like “All we have to fear is grizzly bears—and we can shoot ’em,� yet his Obama has been featured as a boxer who gouges his own eye out after letting the conservatives beat him up. Ultimately, Fiore’s work exposes the raw grit of political hypocrisy. As George Orwell once said, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.� Last year, NPR’s website featured his cartoon “Learn to Speak Tea Bag,� which parodies the Tea Party’s over '% THE BOHEMIAN

reliance on terms like “nazi� and “socialist� to criticize the current administration. As a result, an incensed Bill O’Reilly branded NPR “a left-wing jihadist deal� after calling Fiore’s cartoon “not funny, stupid and unnecessary.� Fiore later wrote that the controversy was “just great,� because it accomplished the sort of discussion he’s after. He also seized the opportunity to speak out about the danger of splitting people into easy bipolar categories. “As a matter of fact,� he wrote, “I myself am a left-leaning, pro-gay-marriage San Franciscan, Catholic, anti-Bush, antiNader guy who guts his own fish, has cut down trees with a chain saw and took political science classes with Mary Cheney.

iore’s interest in cartooning began in childhood, with Garfield and Doonesbury. “I was brought into the news through cartoons,� he says. “Not because of some brilliantly written editorial, but because of funny pictures.� His eyes light up when he speaks of the “perfect design� of newspapers and the Sunday-edition cartoons. “Eventually,� Fiore notes, “I was drawn inside to something deeper, to the editorial cartoon.� In ninth grade, an English teacher one day told him, “Do anything you want this period, but you must give me something by the end of it.� Echoing the Cold War climate, an astute Fiore drew a cartoon of a kid sitting under a tree watching a truckload of dissembled nuclear warheads rolling by. His teacher informed him that political cartooning was something people did for a living, and his passion blossomed. When it comes to his skills, then and now, Fiore is modest. “I was not naturally talented,� he admits, “I just liked it.� In the mid-’90s, while working at a copy store to foot the bills, Fiore scanned one of his cartoons in color for the first time. The digitized result amazed him. After an uninspiring turn as a staff cartoonist in “a terribly stifling fluorescent, windowless office,� Fiore fled the print world for good in 2002. He’s never looked back. “Animation gives me the opportunity to tap into people’s emotions, given the range of color, motion, sound and music. It’s like getting to pull back someone’s skull and poke different parts of their brain,� he says, chuckling. By literally putting faces on issues, Fiore infuses the serious with the silly. Fiore’s chirpy talking gun, for example, is featured most recently in “Shooting from the Lip,� a response to the tragedy in Tucson. The gun calls for an “eight-day waiting period for dangerously confrontational political speech� because “guns don’t kill people, words kill people!� Then there’s the hopelessly grumpy conservative Mr. Dan, growling at the innocently practical Dogboy. “Mr. Dan! ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ is going to be repealed,� Dogboy announces—to which Mr. Dan responds, “Good, now we can ask who’s gay and tell
them to leave!� There’s also the playfully sinister Knuckles, a black-hooded oaf who delights in torturing people, and Pokey, a hypodermic needle who’s eager to keep the death penalty alive and well in America.
‘The syndicates have done more to kill cartooning than the internet.’ Fiore’s is essentially a one-man show; he has no research assistant, and only just hired voice actors about a year ago. (He and his wife still lend their vocal cords.) Every week, he combs both print and online news for a worthwhile and often underplayed story that he can turn into a one- to two-minute cartoon. Like all satirists, he must tap into the archetypes that reach the largest number of people. “Advertising serves the role that literature once did,� Fiore says. “There was a time when Americans had books, like the Bible or Huck Finn, to unite them, but these days it seems like advertising is our common language.� A self-syndicated artist, Fiore sells his cartoons to a number of media outlets, including the San Francisco Chronicle’s SFGate.com, where they run each Thursday. When it comes to syndicated cartoons, he is frank: “The syndicates have done more to kill cartooning than the internet.� After all, it’s much easier for newspapers to pay less for a sure thing (The Family Circus, anyone?) than to take a chance on something new. He bemoans the syndicates’ use of grandfathered cartoonists who, though great, are squeezing out local, regional cartoonists whose hearts are still beating. For someone who mucks around in the grime of American politics, Fiore is remarkably upbeat. In addition to spending his weekends “unplugged,� he manages to stay positive by focusing on what’s possible. He calls for his viewers to “Turn cartoons into action!� with his site’s “Do Something� link, which lists helpful (and hopeful) sites related to his cartoons, like SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), a comforting salve to Fiore’s hilariously irreverent “Hierarchy Complicitus� about the misdeeds of the Vatican. As for the future? Fiore remains characteristically cynical and optimistic in the same breath. “I hope we screw things up enough,� he says, “that we are forced to innovate solutions in order to save ourselves.� Mark Fiore appears twice on Saturday, Feb. 12, at the Charles Schulz Museum. From 10–11:30am, Fiore leads a master class for adult cartoonists ($32–$40; reservations at 707.284.1263). From 1–3pm, Fiore appears in the museum to draw, meet fans and answer questions ( free with museum admission). 2301 Hardies Lane, Santa Rosa. 707.579.4452.

<0=½B<0= Adam Carolla’s pull-nopunches schtick is heavy on LOLs and light on BS—especially for the Bay Area.
APXbX]V2PX] Expert provocateur Adam Carolla rants his way to glory By David Sason
B
Âş
irius calls me twice a year,� says Adam Carolla on the phone from his Los Angeles home, “and says, ‘Hey man, you interested in doing some satellite radio and thumbing your nose at the man and doing your own thing?’ I go, ‘Yeah, how much?’ They go, ‘Oh, we don’t have any money.’ I go, ‘All right, why don’t you call me when you do.’� To drive the point home, Carolla proceeds in his signature way: “Don’t open the phone book and call roofers and go, ‘Hey man, do you have an inherent interest in putting a roof on my house?’ The answer is, ‘No, but if you give me money, I’ll come to your house and put a roof on it. I’m a roofer, it’s my business. I have a fundamental interest in putting a roof over my family and paying the fucking bills.’� As a radio host (Loveline), TV host (The Man Show), producer (Crank Yankers), film actor (The Hammer) and even a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, Adam Carolla is a media renaissance man. But throughout his storied entertainment career—and surely from his days as a construction worker and boxing
instructor—he could best be described as a talker. The nasally humorist, who brings his multimedia standup comedy show to Napa’s Uptown Theatre this Friday, rants on all annoying happenings both mundane and grandiose, to the delight and sometimes chagrin of his audience. His specialty recently spread to a highly successful podcast and a bestselling book, titled In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks . . . And Other Complaints from an Angry Middle-Aged White Guy. Carolla loves talking so much that our scheduled 10-minute chat exceeds 20 minutes, prompting me to end it—strange for a celebrity interview. But don’t get it twisted. Mr. Verbose is always working. After Howard Stern left terrestrial radio in 2006, Carolla was touted as Stern’s morningradio successor and enjoyed a successful syndication before cutbacks led to the show’s end in 2009. Although his free podcast is the most downloaded daily broadband show, with over 5 million monthly downloads and over 150,000 daily listeners, the lack of censorship is not as important to Carolla as it was to Stern. “It’s not because I have pride,� he says of podcasting rather than accepting offers from
radio stations like Live 105 and the like, “and it’s not because I’m a dick, but I make more money doing the podcast, and it’s a better gig for me.� Carolla is refreshingly candid when asked about hypothetically receiving an exorbitant offer for work, say, tomorrow. “Tomorrow? How about later today? Absolutely!� says the 46-year-old father of two. “If someone wanted to step up in some crazy way and back up the Brinks truck . . . well, I’m not sure why they need to back it up. I feel like they could drive it up my driveway and I could just walk around to the back.� Both onstage and online, some of Carolla’s most engaging content is his singular political opining which sometimes conf licts with the increasingly dogmatic landscape in America today. Case in point: after a reasonable dissertation on the liabilities of illegal immigration, an enthusiastic listener called to agree—before suggesting firebombing all migrant tunnels. “I guess there’s always the danger of that, but I don’t affiliate myself with one party or the next,� Carolla says. “I love the Bay Area, but the thing about many of the '' THE BOHEMIAN

people in your progressive community is they’re assholes.� He explains: “I want to keep abortion legal, every girl over 15 to have access to birth control, everyone to have the morning-after pill on their nightstand, and I think if you’re a homeowner and pay your taxes and you want to grow a fucking pot plant in your backyard, that should be your goddamned business, and I don’t like assault rif les being sold to felons, and I want people to have to register their guns, and . . . I’ve got a ton of left-wing leanings. But as soon as I say, ‘Beef up the border,’ someone goes, ‘Hey, you fucking racist Charlton Heston! Why don’t you go hang out with your gun buddies down at the Klan rally?’�
I have an ‘interest’ in doing the next book because somebody said, ‘Here’s a nice chunk of change.’ Subsequently, Carolla’s book masterfully skewers both sides of the aisle, making him a new kind of everyman driven more by common sense and life experience than any political party platform or economic class. His views make so much sense that it’s hard to argue with any of it. The right wing (whom he calls “knuckle draggers� for their views on gay marriage and other social issues) gets it just as bad from the avowed atheist comedian in hilarious chapters like “God, Religious Tolerance, and Other Shit That Doesn’t Exist.� Next up for Carolla is another book due to the success of In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks, which is currently the No. 1 selling audiobook on iTunes. (“I have an ‘interest’ in doing the next book because somebody said, ‘Here’s a nice chunk of change, would you please write a follow-up to the book you just wrote.’�) With his current tour, his ongoing podcasts and similar opportunities, Carolla seems closer than ever to what he calls his “fuck-you money,� an amount he says enables ultimate occupational freedom. “Sadly, I squandered most of my fuckyou money on exotic automobiles,� he tells me. “But here’s the good news: If I had my fuck-you money, we wouldn’t be talking right now, right? I’d be like, ‘Fuck you, I’m sleeping in.’� Adam Carolla appears on Friday, Feb. 4, at the Uptown Theatre. 1350 Third St., Napa. 8pm. $39. 707.259.0123. www.adamcarolla.com.

‘Next to Normal,’ ‘Talking With’ explore inner peace By David Templeton
3
epression, suicide and bipolar disorder are unlikely subject matters for a Broadway musical, but as the Pulitzerwinning Next to Normal proves, sometimes the least promising idea can give life to the most satisfying works of art. Created by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, the hard-hitting show won several Tony awards on Broadway. Directed by Michael Greif (who also directed the original production of Rent), Next to Normal now comes to San Francisco, where it’s just opened a four-week run at the Curran Theater, bringing with it Alice Ripley, who won a Tony for her creation of the lead role in the show. Diana, played with raw and riveting intensity by Ripley, has been struggling with bipolar disorder for years. Diana’s loving, long-suffering husband, Dan (Asa Somers, heartbreaking in the role), has allowed the need to heal his wife to consume his world and eclipse the needs of his family. Dan and Diana’s teenage daughter, Natalie (a vulnerably appealing Emma Hunton), is an overachieving oddball at school, resentful of her mother’s emotional absence and the unpredictable, embarrassing antics that keep her from inviting friends home from school. Natalie’s tentative friendship/courtship with amiable pothead Henry (Preston Sadleir)
eventually leads her into a path of tentative adolescent self-destruction, as Gabe, Natalie’s older brother, takes Diana’s side. Initially, he appears as his mother’s only sympathetic support system (he encourages her not to take her drugs), but in a head-turning first-act twist, Gabe is revealed to be at the root of Diana’s illness, a jarring illustration of just how far her illness has progressed. The entire production, fueled by a tight, onstage rock band playing Yorkey’s electrifying score, is grounded in compassion and keenly observed details of Diana’s day-to-day inner life. But the best parts of Next to Normal are its honest depictions of how Diana’s struggles are affecting those around her. As Diana rides a wave of therapies and treatments, Next to Normal draws provocative material from the growing desperation of her doctors (all played by Jeremy Kushnier), and the increasingly determined Dan, who just wants to help but very possibly may not be able to. The songs dig deep, stretching from the cagy opening number “Just Another Day� and Dan’s lovely “I Am the One� to Diana’s searing electroshock number “Wish I Were Here� and the rousing, life-affirming anthem “Light.� That such material can be presented with so much humor and insight and still constitute no-holds-barred Broadway entertainment is quite a feat. In its stirring climax, the show becomes a celebration of those willing to risk caring for people whose love does not come without danger. In addition to theater fans, Next to Normal is proving to be of special interest to folks involved in the mental health system. The Sonoma and Marin County NAMI chapters (National Alliance on Mental Illness) have arranged a special “awareness night� for the evening of Feb. 11, with discounted tickets available to NAMI members.

eanwhile, another show with “eventâ€? written all over it is FOG Theater’s Talking With . . . , opening this weekend at Spreckels Performing Arts Center. Written by Jane Martin, the show is directed by Sheri Lee Miller and stars a dream cast of North Bay actresses. Essentially a series of monologues and first-person stories about some hard lesson that each character has faced and learned from, the production features Madeleine Ashe, Mollie Boice, Danielle Cain, Kendall Carroll, Joan Felciano, Kimberly Kalember, Priscilla Locke, Sheri Lee Miller and Audrey Tatum. (Elly Lichenstein, originally announced as part of the cast, was forced to withdraw after the sudden illness of her husband, the much-loved theater-supporter RenĂŠ Bonel, who passed away Sunday evening). Taken with Next to Normal, the cleverly written show is another sensitive examination—with plenty of humor to balance the pain—of the inner strength and determination that can, with love and patience, turn tragedy into triumph.
‘Next to Normal’ runs Tuesday–Saturday through Feb. 20 at the Curran Theatre. Tuesday–Saturday at 8pm; 2pm matinees, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. 445 Geary St., San Francisco. $30–$99. 888.746.1799. ‘Talking With . . .’ runs Thursday– Sunday through Feb. 20 at the Spreckels Center.

‘Worst in Show’ examines ugly-dog craze By Richard von Busack
F
orst in Show, about Petaluma’s World’s Ugliest Dog Contest, shows that this competition is no place for the merely rough-looking dog or the dog as homely as a mud fence. I’d started watching it while eating dinner. Thirty seconds in, I knew that wasn’t going to fly. Dammit, these dogs were ugly. When I was a kid, we would have quoted that playground gag about shaving their butts and teaching them to walk backward. This oldest and most prestigious uglydog competition is relatively small-scale; it’s held annually at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, and first prize is $1,600. But the funniest thing happens while watching this sweet, hilarious and startlingly touching documentary by John Beck (former Press Democrat staff writer turned filmmaker) and Don Lewis, which screens this week at the SF IndieFest: the problems of an uglydog become secondary to the personalities of the human competitors. Interviewed here is Susie Lockheed, the woman who rescued and nurtured threetime champion dog Sam, a snaggle-toothed, cataract-eyed creature whose physique was like a plucked and rotting turkey. Happily, we learn that Sam was not just traffic-stoppingly ill-favored but also snappish. Lockheed keeps the champ’s ashes and his many press clippings, including the headlines occasioned

by his passing (“Heart Fails Ugliest Dog�). The most hardened competitor in recent years is Dane Andrew, an actor and photojournalist who speaks of a dynasty of ugly dogs that he’s breeding. A familiar face on the talk-show circuit, Andrew is at one point seen introducing his world-famous ugly dog Rascal to actress Jane Russell. When we see Andrew holding Rascal up to sniff Jayne Mansfield’s gown at an exhibit of movie stars’ clothes, it’s clear what dreams of celebrity intoxicate him. Challenging this contender, in contests filmed over the last three years, are such dogs as Winston, a scar-faced and slouchy but otherwise unexceptional looking Alsatian or something. As in a beauty contest, the sad backstory of the dog is hoped to improve his odds of winning; poor Winston, rescued by Santa Rosa resident Ashley Brown, had been left behind after Hurricane Katrina. Also seen competing is Icky, a Chinese crested, and Pabst, a particularly saurian-looking Boxer with an underbite like a cash-register drawer. Odds would seem to favor the Chinese crested. It’s a breed that can really bring on the ugly: shrimpy, twitchy, covered with warts and wens. With its nearly hairless, livercolored hide punctuated with brushy tufts of white hair, this is a breed of dog that’s never going to out-cute Lassie. And yet the 2010 contest is surprisingly resolved with an upset victory by Kathleen Francis, a K-Mart clerk from Clearlake; not to spoil the secret of her winning dog Abby, but if breeding tells, inbreeding shouts. Certainly, the filmmakers try to go meta, interviewing experts on ideas of beauty and ugliness. Stanford professor Deborah Rhode notes that there used to be laws restricting the extremely ugly against public appearance, and SFSU’s Aaron Kerner holds forth on the attraction of ugliness itself. And believe it or not, even an ugly-dog contest can spark ethical issues: “It changes the tenor of the whole contest to enter a sick dog,� says a judge. In 2008, Gus, a oneeyed and three-legged dog, bloated from cancer therapy, went for the gold. That the dog was loved, that the prize money paid for his chemo and that he was certainly ugly enough to win was beside the point to some. Not that it’s suspected of having been tried, but the judges keep on guard against the possibilities of owners mutilating a dog to make it ugly enough for the competition. The real trouble, as we see in the backstories of the owners and the lengths they go to win, is the ego on the line, a problem that’s treated comically at a far smaller-scale ugly-dog competition in Benicia visited during the closing credits. With appearances by Vicki DeArmon from the Sonoma-Marin Fair and a soundtrack by Danny Sorentino, the documentary is stamped with locals surrounding the contest. Ultimately, Worst in Show inspires respect for the lesser trumpeted qualities of a dog: its lack of aesthetic concern, and its essential carelessness about whether its owner could win any prizes for its nonexistent beauty. ‘Worst in Show’ screens as part of the SF IndieFest on Wednesday, Feb. 9, and Sunday, Feb. 13, at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco.

Sing Out Time was that college a cappella groups existed mainly in nerdy hamlets of dorm rooms and YouTube channels, performing David Bowie and Of Montreal songs for the camera and each other. Glee, of course, has changed all that, but the innate thrill of arranging a song for voices hasn’t been dulled, and probably never will. Napa hosts an annual A Cappella Extravaganza which pulls from the best cavalcades of California croon, and this year’s lineup is top-notch: the Scattertones, from UCLA, sing Lady Gaga’s “Telephone� and Kanye West’s “Stronger�; Naked Voices do “Superfreak� and “Bohemian Rhapsody�; and the UC Berkeley Men’s Octet do Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose� and who knows what else on Saturday, Feb. 5, at Napa High School. 2475 Jefferson St., Napa. 7:30pm. $20. 707.253.3705.

Total Captivation Getting lost in the headphones was never so easy. Born in Ethiopia, the singer Meklit Hadero grew up in Brooklyn before moving to San Francisco to study political science. Luckily, someone convinced her to drop out of college, because her voice is a greater force for good than any Robert Dahl text could hope to be. With the richness of Nina Simone but the intimacy of Jolie Holland, Hadero’s phrasing feels like a conversation with a good friend and a couple of lowballs. With a new album, On a Day Like This, she’s taken NPR by storm; she also stays connected to social issues in her work. Catch her on Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Osher Marin Jewish Community Center. 200 N. San Pedro Road, San Rafael. 8pm. $22–$26. 415.444.8000.

Everybody Wants You’ve got to be pretty bold to write a song claiming to know what everybody on the face of the earth wants. If you go for it, make sure it’s something vague, OK? Tears for Fears tried it with “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.� The Party of Five theme song announced everybody wants to be “closer to free.� Dean Martin sang that everybody needed somebody sometimes; R.E.M. averred that everybody hurts; Billy Joel remarked that everybody has a dream. But Shawn Mullins, whose 1998 one-hit-wonder “Rockabye� has been carbon-copied into his new single “Light You Up,� declares: “Everybody wants a f latscreen.� Why, Shawn, why? Find out when he plays a free KRSH-FM radio-promotion show on Friday, Feb. 4, at Hopmonk Tavern. 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. 6pm. Free. 707.829.7300.

Country Strong When you see Hank Williams at the age of two, you know you’re destined for a life in country music. At least that’s the way it was for Nashville star Rodney Crowell. Most know Crowell from his great records (Diamonds & Dirt), his marriage to Roseanne Cash (1979–1992) and his tenure in Emmylou Harris’ legendary Hot Band. No one really knew about the fistfights, guns, preachers, sex, drinking, infidelity and drugs of Crowell’s youth, however, until the release of his book Chinaberry Sidewalks. Chronicling an essentially white-trash upbringing outside of Houston, Texas, Crowell writes remarkably about his early struggles, especially with his parents, whom he clearly still loves deeply. Meet him when he blows through town on Friday, Feb. 4, at Copperfield’s Books. 2316 Montgomery Drive, Santa Rosa. 7pm. Free. 707.578.8938.

Chop Chop Sturgeon’s Mill is a working mill that sawed its first redwoods in 1914, and a group of preservationists in Sonoma County are hoping to restore it and keep it open to the public as a museum dedicated to early logging. Located on Green Hill Road, it’s really quite a site, redolent of all those burl- and saw-blade-scattered roadside stops in Humboldt County, and it deserves restoration. To that end, a documentary film called ‘New Life at Sturgeon’s Mill’ has been made, and concurrently the West County Museum opens its new exhibit, “Logging in Western Sonoma County.� It’s like Sebastopol all of a sudden digs cutting down trees! See the film on Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Sebastopol Veterans’ Auditorium. 282 S. High St., Sebastopol. 4pm. Free. 707.829.6711.

Bright Eyes’ newest grows up without cynicism ew bands could open an album with a two-and-a-halfminute monologue about time-travel, UFOs and the third dimension and succeed. Bright Eyes is one of the few. The three-piece’s new full-length, The People’s Key (comin out Feb. 15), begins with a sermon of sorts from Refried Ice Cream guitarist Denny Brewer (a friend of frontman Conor Oberst), who muses “If there is no such thing as time, you’re already there . . .â€? But Oberst & Co. don’t spend their entire 10th studio release gazing into space. Nor does sad-bastard Oberst spend it peering adolescently navelward. Instead, between ights of sci-ďŹ ďŹ‚avored fancy, Key is an almost self-consciously grownup record, in which the singer spits pearls of thirty-something wisdom with some cynicism and a good deal of hope. On the opening track, Oberst sings “I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul / the classists, the posture and avant-garde.â€? On “Beginner’s Mind,â€? he declares “The sunshine’s so clichĂŠ, just like love and pain.â€? The Oberst on Key sounds light years away from the raw, confessional voice that crooned “As somewhere we all dieâ€? on Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and lashed out at George Bush in the notorious single “When the President Talks to God.â€? Musically, it’s Bright Eyes’ most polished and muscular album to date. Though producer Mike Mogis discovered the drum machine long ago, it anchors the piano and guitar melodies on Key in tight, measured hooks. “Approximated Sunlightâ€? marches to a dashboard-rattling bass, while “Jejune Starsâ€? builds on frantic guitar licks and dissolves repeatedly into cymbal crashes. Bright Eyes takes a deďŹ nite risk in making this, their “serious adult record.â€? Arcade Fire tried it this summer and got stuck in suburban banality. But Key ponders the mundane and, Lynch-like, still contemplates the stars. “We used to dream of time machines, now it’s said we’re posteverything,â€? Oberst laments in “Approximated Sunlight.â€? His strength on Key is that he still manages to dream.

A4?02:43106B Grace Potter left behind a promising solo opportunity to keep fronting the Nocturnals—and it’s paid off.

Talking coolness and collaboration with Grace Potter By Alan Sculley
C
wo years ago, it looked for all the world that Grace Potter’s band, the Nocturnals, might have reached the end of the line. After two studio albums, the group was on thin ice; the bassist had left, and Potter was about to record a solo album with respected producer T-Bone Burnett. “I think like every band in the whole world, there’s that moment of truth, where you figure out whether you’re going to make pop music or if you’re going to remain in a comfortable ether of coolness,� Potter says in an interview, explaining the key problem within the group. “And I want to be cool, but I don’t care about being cool as much as I care about making a career out of this—a long, fruitful career.� Hence, thanks to a reshuffling of members, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are very much a band again. Potter’s solo album with Burnett is on hold while the group releases a stirring new self-titled album showcasing an identity, focus and confidence that didn’t exist during their first five years together. “I think it all comes down to growing up,� says Potter, who sings and plays keyboards and guitars. “I don’t think we’ve hit our prime. I think we’re just finding it. It’s like we’ve been prepubescent this whole time in our musicality and our performance and our sexuality and our comfort onstage. This is like we’ve graduated college, and now it’s time for real life.� Leaving an opportunity with multi-Grammy winner Burnett might seem odd, but, she says, “I wasn’t ready for that. Obviously, the temptation for a woman to go break off solo, if she’s got talent and she’s got a voice, is great. But I wanted the band. I wanted to remain true to what made me the way I am, what helped me

make music and make it good.� At the helm of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is Mark Batson, who’s worked with such heavyweights of hip-hop as Eminem, Jay-Z and Dr. Dre. Baston co-wrote six of the album’s 13 songs with Potter and also fostered an atmosphere in the studio that helped the band to tap into its primal side. “We just wanted the spirit, the vibe and the energy as if we were onstage,� Potter said. “So what Mark would do is he would bring in 10 to 20 girls and people into the booth, so it was like we were at a live show. Everyone he was bringing into the studio, we’re talking about poets, we’re talking about artists, actresses, actors, rappers, I mean, it was really a genre-bend and a mindfuck. But it was a great time for us to experience all of these different types of people.� The energy of the sessions translates emphatically. On “Paris (Ooh-La-La),� “Hot Summer Night� and “Only Love,� Potter exudes sensuality, sass and passion, while the Fleetwood Mac–like pop of “Tiny Light� and “Colors� makes for a rich, well-rounded album. And though the band has finally come into its own, Potter is even more excited about what lies ahead. “I do have great hopes and aspirations for the future,� she said. “I think that’s the best thing we have going for us, [that] nothing is ever good enough. We’re constantly trying to make our music more profound, more important, more realistic and more fabulous. I think that that’s it. It’s really not ever taking ‘good enough’ for good enough.� Grace Potter and the Nocturnals play a free all-ages show on Monday, Feb. 7, at the Hopmonk Tavern. 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. Noon. Free. 707.829.7300.

=4E4A8=74AF8;34BC3A40<B Belva Davis on life as a groundbreaking TV journalist
s the first black female TV journalist on the West Coast, Belva Davis has reported on important news stories from the birth of the Black Panther movement to the rise of the AIDS epidemic. Davis reads from her new memoir, Never in My Wildest Dreams: A Black Woman’s Life in Journalism, at Book Passage on Feb. 5. “I did not attend college,� Davis says, on the phone from San Francisco, “so I was always scrambling. I didn’t know the mandated course study, all the things they teach you to make sure you are intellectually capable. I depended on survival skills.� Davis’s hard scramble led to interviews and meetings with figures from Martin Luther King Jr. to the Queen of England. In 1977, she went to Cuba as part of a delegation led by future Oakland mayor Ron Dellums and was one of only two reporters allowed an interview with Fidel Castro. The other reporter? Barbara Walters. “There’s always been a joke about how she came to the island with a million-dollar budget, hair and makeup, and then there was me with my one cameraman and producer,� Davis laughs. Davis’ hardest story was covering the Harvey Milk and George Moscone assassinations. After receiving a call from her daughter, who was working at city hall that day, Davis rushed downtown as soon as possible. Hours later, she reported on the story to a television audience. “They say that you reach down to find a well of strength in terrible moments,� Davis says. “We saw our job as bringing calm and balance to the story. But all of us were totally shaken, and for me it as a really tough night.� Despite her amazing career, the pioneering journalist remains stoic about her legacy. “I don’t think of myself as anything but someone who is continually trying to get out the viewpoints of people who have been overlooked,� she says. Belva Davis appears on Saturday, Feb. 5, at Book Passage. 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera. 2pm. 415.927.0960. Leilani Clark

’ve always wondered what Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. might have talked about if they’d ever had a chance to dialogue. Malcolm X was decidedly more radical than King, and until he went to Mecca and had a change of heart, the Nation of Islam speaker and activist promoted change “by any means necessary,� advocating for the right of African-Americans to defend against oppression through violence. King, minister and believer in Gandhi-inspired nonviolent methods of resistance, obviously didn’t feel the same way. What might have happened if the two ended up in a small room together? In his 1987 one-act play The Meeting, Jeff Stetson attempts to answer the question. The scenes take place in a Harlem hotel room, where Malcolm X and his bodyguard, Rashael, rest up before a doomed appearance at the Audubon Ballroom. Martin Luther King Jr. sneaks up the back stairs for a secret meeting with Malcolm X, and spirited debate about the ways to improve life for blacks in a white-dominated, racist American society ensue (as do a couple rounds of arm wrestling). Described as fascinating but “contrived� by New York Times reviewer D. J. R. Bruckner, the play explores the differing viewpoints of the two men while meditating on their shared common goals. The Meeting is part of a month-long series of events at Sonoma State University honoring Black History Month. Other events include a Civil Rights reenactment (Feb. 10); spoken word artist Ise Lyfe’s one-man show Is Everybody Stupid? (Feb. 10); hip-hop author and speaker Michael Eric Dyson (Feb. 21); the Black Comedy Jam (Feb. 17); New Yorker writer Jamaica Kincaid (Feb. 17); and the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir at the Green Music Center (Feb. 26). The Meeting is performed on Tuesday, Feb. 8, at SSU’s Warren Auditorium. 1801 E. Cotati Ave., Rohnert Park. 8pm. Free. 707.664.2382. For all events, see www. sonoma.edu/as/asp.
