Rhapsodies Nuclear Reactor Reaction

The true cost of powerful economic growth BY TOM MARIANI

I

grew up in Eureka with the government telling us the air quality was not harmful to our health. When I was very young, there were large and small burners for all the sawmills. Clothes that had been hung on a line to dry had to be shaken outside before they were folded, to get all the sawdust and soot off. But nobody warned us about breathing that air.

Then PG&E built an atomic power plant near Humboldt Bay. Clean, cheap energy, they told us. How proud we should have been in 1963 as they brought this new atomic power plant online. None of us knew of the additional earthquake faults that would cause them to shut it down in 1976, and PG&E’s records that couldn’t account for three radioactive rods. But by then we had two pulp mill stacks spewing stink that we were told was not harmful for us to breathe. Oh, there were some particulars they told us about later. They couldn’t correlate the high cancer rate of people working at or living near the pulp mills. We were asked instead to look at all the jobs the mills provided. The people of Japan are now dependent on which way the wind blows as to how much radioactivity they will be exposed to. I can see no reason they should rely on the information they are getting from their government or the lack of information they are getting from the corporate operators of their damaged atomic power plants. The only advice I have is from the early days of Monday Night Football’s Don Meredith: “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”

Best of the Best

Hey, Bohemian staff. Thanks a lot—you really delivered on the “Hidden Gems” promise (“Best of the North Bay,” Mar. 23), making your Best Of issue the best ever. I’ve lived in Sonoma County since ’72 and consider myself well-informed on happenings and local sights, but you dug deep and came up with some fabulous possibilities new to me and described them with first-rate skill. Thanks.

SHARON HAWTHORNE Sebastopol

Your “Best of the North Bay” issue should win a prize for Best Issue! I always read it every year, but this one blew away my expectations. I didn’t even see the QR code on the cover until I read the directions inside, but we downloaded the app and scanned all the codes. The links to videos all through the paper were a really smart touch! We loved the Bollywood dancers and Jeremiah’s Photo Corner. Keep up the good work.

In Defense of the Phone Book Wow, a lot of interesting information, some of it factual (“Yellow Fever,” Mar. 16). Seven out of 10 U.S. adults still use the Yellow Pages (this is valid thirdparty research, not opinion or personal observation), and as advertisers who turned out for a rally last Monday have been telling the S.F. Board of Supervisors,

it isn’t the city’s job to tell them how to reach customers. Yellow Pages publishers don’t want to deliver books to consumers who don’t use them, so if you’d like to opt out, just go to www.yellowpagesoptout.org. It’s fast and easy. It seems odd that with unemployment in California at an alltime high, the supervisors would put thousands of jobs in jeopardy. Full disclosure, I work for the Yellow Pages Association.

SHOBBS Santa Cruz

Phone books are certainly not dead. Many small businesses rely on them for customers and much-needed revenue. They are more reliable than the internet. We live in a free country where freedom of speech is guaranteed. This includes advertising from companies to your doorsteps. Furthermore, asking something like “Why do we need more than one phone book?” is akin to asking “Why do we need more than one pizza place?” Most people don’t like monopolies. They create high prices and bad service.

Play’s the Thing I felt the same dismay in reading David Templeton’s review of The Final Scene that I did while watching the play. The play kept losing its tension for me—blowing apart like the expanding universe—because the direction is fitful, lacking its anchors in time (cadence). Maybe it is hard to direct a play that juxtaposes loss (mortality) and the amusements with which we distract ourselves. The very broad direction is similar in function to a laugh track—as if the director doesn’t trust how good the words are, and they are very good indeed. I love the witty exchanges. They get one through life and through the play. I think the play is at its best when it is focused and more subtle, particularly when the

actors reveal so much of themselves when describing Gretchen, and during the scenes when Gretchen stops acting (arch and demanding) and begins to say goodbye to the set and her role (the physical world and her idea of herself). Directing the play as outright farce sacrifices nuance and poignancy, diminishing dimension, meaning and the potential of the play itself. There are so many sensibilities: Tom Stoppard couldn’t have written The Glass Menagerie; Tennessee Williams couldn’t have written The Caucasian Chalk Circle; Bertolt Brecht couldn’t have written South Pacific; and Hammerstein and Logan could not have written The Final Scene. There’s no doubt the director is very talented, but this play is perhaps not suited to his particular sensibility.

Great white shark tagged in 2009 returns badly damaged BY ALASTAIR BLAND

P

hotographs showing a raw, festering wound around the mouth of a shark that was roughly handled by researchers at the Farallon Islands in late 2009 have surfaced, raising serious questions about a controversial shark-tagging program. The images depict “Junior,”

a great white shark fitted with a “smart position or temperature transmitting” (SPOT) tag by San Diego marine biologist Michael Domeier and released on Oct. 29, 2009. The procedure, which involved bringing the shark aboard a floating platform, was bungled when the animal became hooked in the throat. Researchers performed an impromptu surgery using bolt clippers inserted through one of the fish’s gill slits

On Sunday, March 27, Marin County Supervisor Charles McGlashan died of a heart attack in Lake Tahoe. He was 49 years old. McGlashan leaves behind a vibrant legacy of environmental activism, specifically in the areas of sustainability, energy efficiency and renewable power. Described by friends and family as caring, giving and compassionate about the environment, McGlashan championed a litany of progressive causes during his time as supervisor. His advocacy for affordable housing, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, public transportation, zero waste, green building, environmental justice and habitat protection constitutes a great legacy. In 2008, the former environmental consultant spearheaded the creation of the Marin Energy Authority which launched the Marin Clean Energy initiative, offering an alternative source of energy to PG&E. McGlashan was a driving force behind the formation of Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART), as well as the recent ban on single-use plastic bags in his county. He will be remembered for his progressive vision and dedication toward more just and livable communities.

Shark Tag ( 9 Geographic television series— assuaged concerns that the shark might have been seriously wounded by the operation. But the recently surfaced images show an emaciated animal wearing a SPOT tag in its fin and bearing a large, exposed wound on the right side of its face. What caused the injury is not known. Though the shark was hooked in the esophagus, the wound is located on his right cheek. When contacted by the Bohemian, Domeier referred to the website of his nonprofit organization, Marine Conservation Science Institute, where he recently posted a statement assuring that Junior’s injury is the result of an attack by another shark. Such wounds, Domeier writes, can cause difficulty in feeding and temporary weight loss. Since the photograph, the shark has traveled thousands of miles, according to the veteran researcher. Other shark experts believe rough handling by the researchers caused Junior’s injury. “In the shark world, bites from other sharks happen all the time, but the chances of them resulting in an abscess like this are slim to none,” says underwater photographer Chris Hartzell, also vice president of the Monterey Peninsula Audubon Society. “An abscess indicates a circulatory problem, possibly caused by damage to the skeletal system.” A source close to the photographers who saw Junior last fall reports that the shark was apparently unable to fully close its jaw. Hartzell, who has seen sharks bearing hook-related and bite-caused injuries, thinks the floating buoy that became jammed in Junior’s mouth during his capture might have displaced the jaw’s joint. Patric Douglas, who operates a shark-viewing tour company called Shark Diver, has dived with great whites for a decade. “I’ve never seen a wound like that on a white shark,” Douglas says. “Shark bites heal, and that’s not a fresh bite wound that’s healing. That is a

diseased animal that’s dying.” Junior was caught and released within the boundaries of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, a federal zone where white-shark protections include a prohibition on approaching within 164 feet of one of the animals. Though multiple scientists warned ahead of time that Domeier’s hands-on approach to tagging great whites could injure such large, heavy fish, officials green-lighted the project. Junior and a subsequent shark were fitted with SPOT tags before the sanctuary’s managers suspended Domeier’s permit. Sean Van Sommeran, founder of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation in Santa Cruz, has tagged many large sharks using little more than a hand-held lance and has opposed Domeier’s SPOT-tagging research since he began applying it to great whites several years ago in Mexican waters. Van Sommeran considers Domeier’s methods “a huge leap backwards for shark-research conservation.” Others outraged by the events before and after the handling of Junior declined to speak on the record about the issue for fear of reprisals in the competitive and political world of shark research. These sources allege that the photographs of the injured shark were submitted in fall 2010 to federal sanctuary officials as material to be publicly reviewed. Mary Jane Schramm, a spokesperson for the NOAA, told the Bohemian that images and video footage of the injured shark were received too late to be included in a September 2010 report evaluating Domeier’s project. An upcoming evaluation, Schramm says, will thoroughly discuss Junior’s injuries. Domeier responded to an inquiry by referring to his website, which states that Junior was most recently detected swimming in the Pacific on March 21. “So the shark might be alive,” Douglas says, “but we need viable breeding animals in the population, not swimming corpses with electronic packages attached to their fins.”

Is unplugging cable a defiant act or just more of the same? BY DAEDALUS HOWELL

C

ut the cord� has become the rallying cry for those interested in abandoning cable television in favor of streaming online video to their phones, tablets, desktops and— forsooth!—televisions.

“

It’s an apt phrase, not merely for its echoes of severing the umbilical cord in the delivery room but for its metaphoric reach between baptismal rebirth and outright renaissance. There are variations, of course. Google indicates that “cut the cableâ€? is a fraternal twin. It also brings up a blogger who simply calls himself “John,â€? who launched Cut-theCable.com two years ago. John matter-of-factly identiďŹ es his online effort as “the anti-COMCAST blog and resource siteâ€? and admits to having a “chip on my shoulderâ€? due to the layoff that affords him the free time to take on the “fat bastards,â€? which presumably no longer ďŹ ts his budget. Whether or not John’s informative if pungent tirades are justiďŹ ed (and they are to anyone who has ever made a phone call to Comcast’s customer service), they’re a bellwether of sorts, since John is not alone. If Crystal Collins, the discount doyenne behind TheThriftyMama.com, doesn’t cast cable providers as evildoers, she does provide a gleeful step-by-step guide to cutting the cable—which, depending on one’s cable consumption needs, she claims can save upwards of $600 a year. Lifehacker.com also shows how to slice and dice one’s media diet, with additional info on where to stream that favorite live television feed. With all this blogging and ogging of cable companies,

cutting their core product might seem to be grassroots movement. However, one should keep in mind the fact that broadcast networks themselves have stoked much of the fervor by streaming their content directly to consumers via their respective websites, effectively sidestepping cable. Moreover, Hulu is a consortium of a several networks—NBC itself owns over a 30 percent stake. This is ironic given the fact that Comcast now owns NBCUniversal (the merged version of the network and the studio). However, the Department of Justice mandated as part of Comcast’s acquisition that it “must relinquish its management rights in Huluâ€? lest it “interfere with the management of Hulu, and, in particular, the development of products that compete with Comcast’s video service.â€? Comcast isn’t crying, since it dominates much of the broadband market.

ike fingers of ghostly warning, the images of plumes from Japan’s nuclear disaster have crossed the ocean to tap us on the shoulder and warn, “Pay attention!” Tapping the other shoulder is the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), independent watchdogs of the nuclear-power industry for 40 years. Since the nuclear crises in Japan first began, the UCS has provided indepth updates of what’s actually happening to contain the radioactivity release.

With politics shrouding facts, we won’t get the facts from Energy Secretary Steven Chu, no matter how reassuring he may have sounded on CNN. The safety and security of nuclear power plants at present is subject to lack of oversight, human error, politics— and to the influence purchased by campaign contributions. MAPLight.org reports: “Lawmakers currently serving on the House Energy and Commerce Committee received on average $9,024 from contributions connected to nuclear energy while their noncommittee counterparts received an average of just $3,314, a difference of about 63 percent. On the Senate side, the gap is closer but still apparent. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee members received an average of $11,229 while their noncommittee counterparts took in $9,605, a difference of about 15 percent. Based on contributions from Jan. 1, 2001, to Dec. 31, 2010, the industry has given over $4.6 million to lawmakers that have served since the 109th Congress. Current lawmakers have taken in more than $2.7 million in

contributions in that same time frame.” A reliable analysis of nuclear power plant safety will therefore not come from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or the industry. Nuclear engineer David Lochbaum, a former safety trainer for the NRC with 17 years of nuclear-power-plant experience— and a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists—says the practice of pressure containment in a nuclear power plant used to have a back-up system for safety, but now the practice serves as the only means to cool reactor cores, keeping radiation from escaping. “When the business owners wanted 20 percent more power, [to] make more money,” Lochbaum explained in a March 23 press briefing, “the NRC threw out Safety Guide 1 and went with this [system] that might work but might not work as well. It was disgraceful for the NRC to do that. It’s put millions of Americans at undue and elevated risk, and it was done simply for business purposes instead of safety. The NRC’s own Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards is vehemently against that concept, but the NRC’s bowing to industry pressure, putting financial motives ahead of public safety.” Transcripts of press briefings can be found at www.ucsusa.org.

Dining BY THE BEAKER Through scientific means, Enartis Vinquiry can tell if a wine should go in the glass or down the drain.

The Wine Doctors At Windsor wine lab Enartis Vinquiry, healthcare for ailing wine is top priority BY JAMES KNIGHT

S

“

end it back and ask for another bottle,” Alexis Lichine advised restaurant-goers in 1951, “just as you would if you were served a bad egg.” The cosmopolitan wine négociant and author— pictured on the dust jacket of his book Wines of France in a Bold Look gray suit, with slicked-back hair, Gauloises in hand—could do

little more than offer centuries-old advice on this subject: sometimes good wine goes bad. That’s why we endure the arcane tableside ceremony of presentation, cork-gawking and tentative tasting: not to sip and ponder whether we “like” it or not, as sometimes misunderstood, but to determine whether it’s faulty. There’s the rub. As flummoxing

as it is to find the “right” words for “good” wines, how many wine drinkers feel confident enough to call out a technically flawed wine—not to mention get a fix on which of the dozens of ailments of wine it suffers from? Fortunately, few bottles are sent back these days, at least among the recently manufactured wines that are commonly consumed. In the 20th century, modern techniques made commercially produced wines more inherently stable. The wine hero of the 1950s

wore a white lab coat and packed a Pyrex beaker in one hand, a refractometer in the other. In contrast, today’s typical narrative celebrates Zen-like masters who are believed to get the best expression from their wine when they “get out of its way and let it do its thing,” as the mantra goes. One might think that the white-coat set, having banished the microscopic enemies of wine, have moved on, victorious. That is not the case. They’re here, and they’re as busy as ever in the war against wine gone bad. These days, much of the whitecoat work is outsourced to professional laboratories like Windsor’s Enartis Vinquiry. Providing a smorgasbord of extremely useful services to the industry, including alcohol testing for labeling requirements and analysis of grapes and wine for organic compounds and microbes, Enartis Vinquiry offers seminar series on wine blending, threshold testing and sensory of analysis of wine both good and bad. This is the story of the bad. The first rule about wine defects, sensory scientist Denise Gardner says—to a group that’s largely been recruited by their employers to swirl and sniff the worst of the worst—is that everybody’s different. Some might have a low tolerance for an aroma; others, a preference for it. Indeed, many of the worst offenders can actually add to a wine’s aroma, when present in small amounts. Instead of debating in the manner of “I say tomato, you say tomahto,” Enartis Vinquiry employs tastepreference panels and plots out the results in complex graphs. Some look like starbursts, others like city zoning maps. Nobody can argue about plainly visual defects like “pinking,” which occurs in white wine, or “browning” in red. Oxidation, the primary enemy of wine, can produce aromas of overripe apples, sherry or rancid nuts. Add volatile acetic acid or ethyl acetate, and get vinegar, rotting fruit or fingernail polish. The best ) 22 cure here is prevention:

simple, diligent cellar routines keep oxygen out of wine, and the addition of sulďŹ tes protects against oxidation. Unless labeled “contains no detected sulďŹ tes,â€? all wines have been treated with this preservative, in lower amounts than is typical for dried apricots. There’s only one reason that wine could be rendered defective with sulfur: wine is made by people. If someone were to misplace a decimal when calculating a work order—just saying, for instance—an entire lot of high-end Napa Cabernet Sauvignon could receive a dose several factors above the legal limit. Luckily for them, there’s an easy, if unappealing, cure: hydrogen peroxide neutralizes the sulďŹ tes. Before the Cab goes blond. Hydrogen sulďŹ de may sound similar, but there’s a difference. Any naughty person who has thrown a rotten egg against a wall would recognize it. The grower could be to blame for dusting the vineyard with sulfur too late in the season, or the vintner for letting a fermentation bog down until the nutrient-deprived yeast literally pooped out. If it doesn’t resolve, a light-blue dash of copper sulfate solution does the trick; eschew the heavy metal, and risk inviting the dreaded mercaptans. These sulďŹ de derivatives mimic a rank cornucopia of vegetable aromas—mostly cooked, some composted—from onion, cooked cabbage and asparagus to canned corn and natural gas. Again, there is a cure—but this time for only half of them. Unlike the toasty, smoky aromas of ďŹ ne oak barrels, “smoke taintâ€? smells more like barbecue or campďŹ re pit. Grapes soak up these aromas when the air is full of forest ďŹ re ash, as Northern California experienced in 2008. Worse than ďŹ re is the sun; when light shines too long on lightcolored wine bottles—particularly sparkling—they may become “lightstruck,â€? smelling of skunk, cheese or plastic. Of no surprise to detractors of big, buttery Chardonnay, a surfeit of this characteristic is considered

a aw. The chemical responsible for the more aggressive aromas of malolactically fermented Chardonnay is diacetyl; little wonder that the “natural avor addedâ€? to buttered popcorn is exactly that. Today, laboratories have engineered new lactic acid bacteria strains that reduce this tendency. Lactobacillus itself, when keeping the wrong company, may turn a buttery wine to a “mouseyâ€? one. It’s not as cute as it sounds.

‘The joke is, you wouldn’t want to drink the wines we drink all day.’ Brettanomyces is a particularly cagey bug, a type of yeast that shows up to ruin the party long after the good yeast has drunk its ďŹ ll (actually, just the opposite) and gone. Brett is culpable for a yard-long list of aromas ranging from bacon, leather, clove and tar to wet dog, horse blanket, BandAid and creosote. At minimal levels, some are desirable; isovaleric acid, the same that lends “vomitâ€?-avored Jelly Beans their novelty, is not. Brett is extremely persistent. On the other hand, the unique characteristics of some venerable chateaux are thought to be due to their resident brettanomyces. Cork taint is the most insidious of all banes of wine, popping up in random bottles long after they’ve been shipped. “Corkedâ€? wine was the particular malady that Alexis Lichine warned us against 60 years ago. Contaminated cellars or moldy corks are the cause, but sanitary measures are not so simple: chlorine is a friend of 2, 4, 6-trichloroanisole. Whole cellars have been surrendered to TCA, which has a musty, wet-cardboard

or dank-cellar aroma that attens out or kills a wine’s fruit. Improved cork manufacturing processes and screw-cap enclosures are viable solutions, while the consumer at home can take a shot at rescuing an affected bottle by pouring it over a sheet of plastic wrap. If some of these bad actors sound really bad, there’s little cause for worry. Methoxypyrazine is not an explosive chemical found in drug labs, after all; it’s the “greenâ€? aroma typical to Cabernet Franc. A faulty wine is not likely to make anyone sick from drinking it, though, as the bugs that bring down the mightiest vintage are no match for the human stomach. Wines with minor, albeit recalcitrant defects are often quietly “disappearedâ€? into a larger blend, and rarely must outright unredeemables be shown the drain. Of more concern to the consumer is when a wine’s technical aws are passed off as representing its “terroir.â€? Cynicism is seldom to blame; more often it’s due to the inattention of wine bar staff or a vintner’s self-deceiving “cellar palate.â€? There’s a minor trend afoot to sensationalize the kind of additions that prevent or minimize wine spoilage as “manipulations.â€? While it’s true that among Enartis Vinquiry’s self-admitted goals is to sell its analytical services and aromamassaging additives, it’s also entirely unlikely that the industry at large has any interest in jeopardizing millions of dollars of drinkable product for the sake of taking a philosophical position. Just how much wine out there needs ďŹ xing? Enartis Vinquiry declined to divulge even a round number of such clients. (Perhaps the ďŹ rst rule of wine defects is that nobody talks about wine defects.) Seminar presenter John Katchmer, an enologist who spends his day in the ostensibly enviable task of tasting hundreds of wines, might lend us a clue when he says, “The joke is, you wouldn’t want to drink the wine we drink all day.â€?

Backyard Banquet Here in the North Bay, the food buzzword is “local.� From 100-mile diets to CSAs, the urge to keep it in the community is omnipresent. But what about narrowing it down even further— make your diet hyper-local—and only eat veggies and other foodstuffs sourced from within one block of your house? For me, that would mean a diet of twigs, old chard, a couple of Meyer lemons and maybe some decorative kale. That’s not necessarily what Margo True, a food editor at Sunset Magazine had in mind when she started up the One Block Diet blog, which— as these things do—has become the book The One-Block Feast: An Adventure in Food from Farm to Table, published last week.

on Phillips says that he’s given up. Not given up on his dream of operating a small winery—at 1,500 cases, he’s just getting started. “I’ve given up chasing Pinot Noir,” he shrugs, even while forklifting two barrels of the stuff into position for bottling. Phillips holds his price point at $30, which for many small vintners is a Pinot no can do. “There’s a lot of great fruit out there that’s not Pinot, at great prices.” That’s frank talk in an age when sales of flagging brands are routinely “inspired” simply by jacking the price over $60, a threshold proven irresistible to discriminating buyers with a thirst for the Veblen vino. Having left a nearly paid-off Peninsula home and a steady career in IT to go into debt all over again, Phillips has scant cash to lavish on new oak barrels, the happy result being wines that taste less like sawmill and more like, say, Sancerre. The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc ($22) is nutty, spicy like orange peel potpourri, with a finish like an artisanal greyhound. While the 2009 Russian River Valley Estate Chardonnay ($24) shows wood overtones with rich baked fruit over a bright core of acidity, ask for the 2008 and find subtler fruit and floral aromas, cashew and fermented apple. Had enough ho-hum Viognier? Inspiration’s 2009 RRV Viognier ($29) is a genre standout of orange blossom and apricot pie, fruit cocktail and apricot nectar. The colorful pastoral depicted on the label does exist, but the winery is sensibly located in the Pinecreek Business Park. Here the tasting room features a flecked composite bar, modish lighting— the works. Make it your first stop on this Saturday’s Taste of Olivet, the newly formed Olivet Wine Road’s public invitation to join them along the area’s most friendly wine road less traveled. Bookended by the venerable De Loach and boutique Tara Bella, the familyowned wineries in between include Hook & Ladder, Harvest Moon and Pellegrini, with plenty of Pinot in between—at a great price. Inspiration Vineyards, 3360 Coffey Lane, Ste. E, Santa Rosa. Daily, 11am–4:30pm. $10 tasting fee. 707.237.4980. “Follow the Olivet Road” to music, eats, and a 20 percent discount on all wine at Taste of Olivet, Saturday, April 2, 11am–4pm. $30. www. olivetwineroad.com.—James Knight

HALL OF GAME Interaction and public programs are key to the Headlands Center’s mission.

Shared Growth Artistic cross-pollination is in the (salty) air at the Headlands Center for the Arts BY LEILANI CLARK

U

ndeveloped rolls of film. People explaining how they got their scars. Videos of babies in strollers.

Some people might say that Harrell Fletcher’s art is weird. Some people might even say that Harrell Fletcher’s art isn’t art at all. But at the Headlands Center for the Arts, a former Army barracks turned artistic haven situated on the Marin Headlands, Fletcher’s unconventional and

thought-provoking approach to the artistic process fits right in. One of 900 artists who have lived at Headlands Center for the Arts (HCA) since its artist-inresidence program began in 1986, Portland-based Fletcher is among the notable names who have benefited from the HCA and its mission. Ten of those artists have gone on to receive MacArthur Fellowship grants. The songwriter Will Oldham, aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy, spent three months at the HCA in 2008, during which time he wrote the songs comprised on

his 2009 album Beware. According to Holly Blake, residency manager for over 20 years, the Headlands Center for the Arts began as all great dreams do—with a crowbar. A military outpost for a hundred years, the buildings sat empty and fell into disrepair after the U.S. Army withdrew in 1972. Headlands’ cofounder David Ireland decided to explore the site by taking a crowbar to the boarded-up doors of the fourstory army barrack, and with a flashlight, beneath a leaking roof

dripping rain, Ireland saw the “good bones” of the building, says Blake. Thus began the envisioning of a thriving art center where artists could come to engage with the creative process in a deeper manner while staying connected to the outside world.

T

he Headlands residency is multidisciplinary and includes dancers, photographers, writers and musicians, all of whom maintain that there’s something special about the locale beyond the one-lane tunnel that connects Sausalito to the Headlands. “Go through that tunnel, and you’re transported into a different world,” says Sharon Maidenberg, executive director of the nearly 30-year-old program. “The place is beautiful and inspiring—not in a hokey way, but in a real and powerful way, because of the

he buildings, with their continued renovation and historical energy, lie at the core of the HCA. The second-floor public rooms have been renovated to uncover cracks, layers of paint and building materials. Over dinner, I talk with Andre Dekker, a member of the art and architecture collective called “Observatorium.” Dekker wears a rumpled jacket, says that he’s jet-lagged from a flight from the Netherlands and is at HCA for the next three weeks to plan a renovation of the gym. “This was cultivated for defense purposes, and now we can cultivate it further,” Dekker says, touching on the HCA’s role as an artistic outpost in a militarized society. Indeed, it’s hard to

imagine that the cozy, yellowwalled mess hall designed by Ann Hamilton during her own oneyear residency in 1989 was once filled with soldiers grimly tucking into gruel before going out to play war games on the beach. Maidenberg echoes that the HCA’s history, combined with its casual approach to the artistic process and its open-door policy, is a humanizing experience. It’s this element of the human, of the celebration of the everyday, that comes through in the public art projects of alumni like Harrell Fletcher, who takes things like baby strollers and wind chimes and makes them into something that deserve a second look. “It wouldn’t be interesting to have a bunch of artists holed up, making stuff in isolation,” says Maidenberg. “Everything really is connected. We want people to have broader experiences that are truly impacting their practice, but also impacting their world and their lives as people.”

layers of history and of quite literally being on the edge of the world.” Harrell Fletcher first arrived at the Headlands for an open house in 1987. Blown away by the beauty of the environment and the “interesting cultural experiences,” he made it his mission to return. In 1995, he was chosen for a graduate fellowship program, and in 1998 was selected as an artist in residence, an experience for which there are usually 1,500 applicants to fill one of 45 spots, which come free of cost, including travel, studio space, dinners and housing for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Fletcher is now founder of the Art as Social Practice program at Portland State University (LearningToLoveYouMore.com, a participatory website created with filmmaker/writer/performance artist Miranda July, was acquired

by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2010), and credits the Headlands for shaping his career. “It always seemed like an amazing alternative to the urban art scene,” he tells me as we talk over the sounds of clanking pans in the mess hall. “To come out here and feel really relaxed, in such a beautiful area, and the interaction with ocean, the raccoons, the birds.” HCA offers public programs and access to galleries, performances and lectures, though its focus is the artist-inresidence program. Since the program is process- rather than project-based, artists can follow their own path during the stay, encouraged to take walks along the rugged coast and interact with the environment. The only requirement is showing up for dinner in the mess hall each evening. “We don’t mandate that they do anything specific,” says Maidenberg. “Most folks are coming in at moments in their career when some time away from their reality will be important to their creative process.” Brian Teare, a San Francisco– based poet known for his challenging and dense prose, will be an artist-in-residence this summer. “Because I write a lot about the coast and coastal ecology, I really liked the idea of being able to hike around in that area,” says Teare. The multidisciplinary aspect of the program drew him in as well, he says. “I like being able to have dinner with visual artists and have a cross-genre conversation. In urban areas, the communities don’t overlap that much.” Rather than a venue in which to sit in isolation, the HCA blurs the boundaries that tend to exist between artist and viewer. It’s open to the public, with publicprogram days offered twice a month. San Francisco–based dancer and choreographer Laura Arrington currently inhabits the Project Space gallery, which allows artists to share their working processes with the public. Arrington will work for

Mr. Prezident

Since 2004, the Occidental Fools Day Parade has celebrated all things zany, nutty and tie-dyed on or around the first of April, culminating with live music and a block party in the parking lot of the Occidental Center for the Arts. This year, “grumps and frowners may be transformed” on Saturday, April 2, starting at the Occidental Community Center (Graton Road at Bohemian Highway, Occidental; 1pm; free; 707.874.9392). Meanwhile, the grand tradition of the Rose Parade in Santa Rosa sees a benefit bar crawl called Pubs & Roses to keep the parade alive; Christy’s on the Square, Stout Brothers, Chrome Lotus and Gary’s at the Belvedere all pitch in drink specials for a $10 donation on Friday, April 1, starting at the Belvedere. 727 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. 6–9pm. $10 donation. 707.523.3728.

When you’re a young MC in Jamaica performing on local mobile sound systems, and none other than reggae legend Jack Ruby recognizes your talent and bestows upon you a nickname, that nickname is going to stay for good. So it was with Fitzroy Albert Cotterell, whom Ruby dubbed Prezident Brown as the resident DJ on his Hi-Power sound system. Since, Brown has emerged as one of reggae’s finest performers, usually making the festival circuit on large outdoor stages. This Thursday, he hits a small club backed by a full live band from Jamaica, and it’s bound to be hot, steamy and packed. Don’t miss it on Thursday, March 31, at Chrome Lotus. 501 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. 9pm. $15. No phone.

Jenks on Film

WHERE YOU LIVE

French Sparrow For all the acclaim and awards showered on Marion Cotillard and her lead role in the Edith Piaf biopic La Vie en Rose, it bears repeating that her performance was certifiably acting. In other words, it wasn’t Cotillard’s voice on the soundtrack, but rather that of Jil Aigrot. A Cannes-based singer and actress herself, Aigrot couldn’t help but feel somewhat upstaged by Cotillard, quietly releasing a solo CD in the wake of the film’s success and sporadically touring. There are many Edith Piaf impersonators in the world, but few who can attain the emotional wallop of Piaf’s delivery. Aigrot is an exquisite exception; she performs Friday, April 1, at the Dance Palace (503 B St., Point Reyes Station; 8pm. $30–$32; 415.663.1075) and Saturday, April 2, at the Napa Valley Opera House (1030 Main St., Napa; 8pm; $35–$40; 707.226.7372).

SUPERBAD Placing ‘Measure for Measure’ in East Los Angeles is among the OSF’s successful gambits this year.

Beyond Measure Shakespeare’s ‘problem plays’ undergo repair at Oregon Shakespeare Festival BY DAVID TEMPLETON

M

easure for Measure is stupid.

OK. There. I’ve said it. Measure for Measure, William Shakespeare’s odd seriotragic comedy about sex, politics and severed heads has long been lumped among the playwright’s awkward “problem plays,� that common descriptive term used for Shakespeare’s more difficult— i.e., impossible to produce—works for the stage.

Chief among the troubles lurking in Measure’s treacherous text is the primary plot conceit, in which everything could be resolved with one man standing up and revealing his true identity instead of plotting unnecessarily tenuous alternatives. And then there’s the unfathomable ending in which . . . well, few of Shakespeare’s stories have conclusions that are more absurd, or more unsettling, than the one that concludes Measure for Measure. Like I said, it’s stupid.

If it seems that I am building toward a massive critical rebuke of Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s recently opened production of Measure (playing now through November at the Angus Bowmer Theatre in Ashland), nothing could be further from the truth. As directed by Bill Rauch, OSF’s increasingly bold artistic director, Measure for Measure’s considerable faults are met headon, pounding them so skillfully from all directions that, in the end, the play—and I say this in hushed

reverence—now actually works. Moreover, it’s easily one of the best adaptations of one of Shakespeare’s problem plays since, well, 2009, when the festival staged All’s Well That Ends Well—and somehow ďŹ gured out how to make it actually end well. What’s become clear over the 76 years that the OSF has been in operation—and this is surely part of the reason that thousands of North Bay residents make the annual six-hour trek over the Siskiyou Pass—is that OSF loves Shakespeare’s underdogs. Though the company does a ďŹ ne enough job with its Hamlets and Midsummer Night’s Dreams and all those Romeo and Juliets, it is what they do with the oddballs—King John, Titus Andronicus, Coriolanus, Cymbeline—that makes them special. One of the only festivals in the world committed to staging every single one of the Bard’s plays, the company clearly heaps a bit of extra artistic attention on the problem plays, committed, it would seem, to solving those “problemsâ€? once and for all. In Rauch’s Measure, the story has been moved from Vienna to East L.A., “narrated,â€? in a way, by a trio of female mariachis who ďŹ rst appear as Latina cleaning women (and then reappear at various times to sing transitional Spanish tunes with translations projected onto the wall high above their heads). Duke Vincentio (Anthony Heald), a good-hearted leader but a tad eccentric, intends to learn about his countrymen by disguising himself as one of them, but the ďŹ rst thing he learns is that Angelo (RenĂŠ MillĂĄn), the highly moral judge he’s put in charge of the city, did not take long to become a tyrannical villain. Citing strict laws against fornication, Angelo has sentenced young Claudio (Frankie Alvarez)

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

M

aybe one has to be married to understand Abbas Kiarostami’s Certified Copy. And by then, of course, it’s too late. Are-they-or-aren’tthey identity games are usually more fun for the directors and actors than they are for audiences. It’s a surprise, then, how much we feel for two people visiting the Medieval hill town of Lucignano in Tuscany, especially since the nature of their relationship—or rather, the duration of their ongoing quarrel—remains unclear.

The woman is Juliette Binoche, billed as “Elle” (“She”). She works in an antique store with all the light and charm of a catacomb. She comes up for air to attend the lecture of a visiting author and lecturer. Being a local, she wants to show the writer some local sights. James, who plays the author, is Kiarostami’s real find: William Shimell, a British opera singer making his film debut. Shimell has a profile he’s clearly proud of, yet he’s approachable and self-deprecating. Certified Copy reflects Rossellini’s 1954 Voyage in Italy, which also concerns a complex feuding couple. Elle and James are headed to a small town popular with newlyweds; they see a jeweled golden tree, a fountain dedicated to familial bliss, an elderly married couple giving advice. Michelangelo’s David makes a cameo in one of James’ stories. But it’s slippery terrain to sneer at the art in this movie. Certified Copy is pointed at critics, just as it is aimed at the long-married types who mistake their spouses for pieces of furniture. It is Binoche who makes Certified Copy so heartbreaking: her seeking tenderness and approval from a man who won’t bend. In her search for signs of hope, Binoche builds on what could have been just an interesting game of acting, and she, above anyone, makes Certified Copy a genuine masterpiece. ‘Certified Copy’ plays through April 7 at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael; it opens Friday, April 8, at Summerfield Cinemas in Santa Rosa.

Ani DiFranco can be somewhat uncomfortable reminders.

Lost Ones Ani, Lauryn and all those faded henna tattoos BY RACHEL DOVEY

N

ineteen eighty-eight was the year of the righteous babe. Ani DiFfranco and Lauryn Hill— those icons of social critique and weird hair—each released Billboard-charting, Grammynominated albums, Little Plastic Castle and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. A West County teenager with a lesbian mother, I was overexposed to both and fell blonde cornrows over Dr. Martens for each woman’s danceable ire. On the surface, the anti-divas had little in common—Hill was black, DiFranco white; Hill was straight, DiFranco bisexual; Hill was religious, DiFranco an atheist—but both preached third-wave feminism with zeal and zero apology. Between the two, they covered it all—pregnancy and abortion and periods and self-image and

black self-image and sexual ambiguity. Fast-forward to now. My henna tattoos have faded to nothing, and I harbor a formless resentment toward the combat-boot aesthetic I once loved. DiFranco will play the Wells Fargo Center on April 7 and Hill will play the WarďŹ eld on April 12, and I won’t be attending either. This didn’t bother me until recently. We all roll our eyes at the ’90s. Such earnestness. Such idealism. Such armpit hair. We know better now—that shit was itchy and uncomfortable as hell. There’s even a show about how silly we were, IFC’s Portlandia. Lately, however, I’ve started to miss that old attitude of righteous indignation, mostly because it couldn’t be further from my current mental state. I’m not outraged (and from the wage gap to victim-blaming, there’s still plenty to be outraged about). I barely feel motivated to act or even vote. What I am, post-Iraq, post– $14 trillion deďŹ cit, post–9.5 percent unemployment rate, post–losing my own job, is just plain tired. Of course, the aughts have birthed a new group of Girls with Something to Say. As a whole, they’re less didactic than their ’90s counterparts. Gaga and BeyoncĂŠ team up for heists in the Pussy Wagon. Nicki Minaj explores domestic abuse . . . and reindeer, ninjas and Dungeons and Dragons. Feminist blog Jezebel.com is, in the words of Tina Fey, a place “where women talk about how far we’ve come and which celebrities have the worst beach bodies.â€? Perhaps this ability to laugh at ourselves is a sign of social progress. But with Lara Logan, with the Julian Assange assault mess, with the New York Times’ portrayal of that tragic, unnamed 11-year-old in Cleveland, Texas, I doubt it. I think, like myself, our sad old ex-empire of a nation is exhausted and needs a laugh. So forgive me, Ani and Lauryn. I’m going to go and watch a pop star crawl out of an egg.

Buy a Vowell Sarah Vowell treks the musty corners of American history

Anyone who’s listened to This American Life is probably familiar with Sarah Vowell. A contributing editor from 1996 to 2008, the New York–based writer tells witty, deeply researched stories skirting the line between obscure historical excavations and modern insights, and does so in a distinctive lispy, almost overly cutesy voice that belies the brute intellectual force of her ideas. (That voice was even featured in the Pixar kids movie The Incredibles, in 2004.) Vowell’s latest book, Unfamiliar Fishes, is an examination of annexation and colonization of Hawaii, and the place where, according to Vowell, “Manifest Destiny got a sunburn.â€? Part of the painfully clever stable of writers who contribute to McSweeneys, Vowell takes things that others might not give a second glance to and turns them into stimulating thought pieces, inspiring the idea, for example, that there’s much more to be said about Puritans than turkey, black bonnets and buckle shoes. Sarah Vowell reads and discusses Unfamiliar Fishes on Friday, April 1, at Book Passage (51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera; 1pm; Free; 415. 927.0960) and that same day at CopperďŹ eld’s Books (140 Kentucky Street, Petaluma; 7pm; Free; 707.762.0563). —Leilani Clark Sir Francis Drake Blvd, San Geronimo. 415.488.8888.

Open Letter to Dave & Vendela An Apology for An Awkward Meeting That Will Probably Happen Some Time in the Future Dear Vendela and Dave, First off, I would like to apologize for calling you by your ďŹ rst names when you don’t even know me from Adam’s off ox. Second, I would like to apologize for how awkward it will seem to you when we ďŹ nally meet someday, perhaps outside the bathroom at a smug literary conference or maybe at one of the 826 outposts across the country that I worship with a cultish fervor. I will speak in a mad rush and tumble and my face will grow red as a tomato, and you will probably grow uncomfortable as you sense the underlying animosity below my praise and how my adoration is mixed with a hateful jealousy of your success and the fact that you obviously can do nothing wrong, just like that damned Miranda July (whom you probably meet up with for soy mate lattes, like, every other day). It’s you handsome, proliďŹ c, wealthy, philanthropic, community-hero types that make the rest of us look bad. I can’t lay on my couch, eating doughnuts and watching Entourage all day knowing that you’re out there, writing award-winning novels and movie scripts and editing intellectual magazines and starting literacy centers for low-income kids across the United States. Damn you Golden Boy and Girl, damn you! Can’t you just chill? OK, I’m sorry for that too. Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida appear Thursday, April 7, at the Jackson Theater. 440 Day School Place, Santa Rosa. 7pm. $10–$15. 707.284.3200.—Leilani Clark
