Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Look Within Santa Rosa I think we've done pretty well since selecting Tom Schwedhelm from our local police force to be the chief, followed by Hank Schreeder, soon-to-retire. I hope that the city of Santa Rosa keeps this in mind as they interview candidates for our next police chief.

I think our local management team has provided excellent leadership generally,

and I strongly believe local experience matters in our community. Best wishes to the chief in his retirement, and I hope that promotion from within has become a trend that will continue.

We’re Not So Bad These days some people have a hard time recognizing anything good about

THIS MODERN WORLD

our country. But the truth about the U.S. is complicated. Granted, the Trump years have brought us low, but for anyone coming from the global south, the U.S. still looks like paradise—at least, initially.

Rule of law, due process, opportunity, democracy, as much as these have been diminished of late, they're still there, battered but breathing. In raising public awareness of all that is wrong in the U.S., we have been discounting all that's right.

RON LOWE Nevada City

By Tom Tomorrow

Reform Prop. 13 Well timed to accompany the election to defeat Trump in November of next year, an initiative to “adjust” Proposition 13 in the form of a “split roll” tax will also be on the ballot.

A split roll tax enables commercial and residential properties to be valued, assessed, and taxed differently. In the campaign there will be almost as much B.S. produced to confuse and irritate voters as in the presidential version.

We will read desperate claims by the California Chamber of Commerce and others who will say another $11 billion or so of taxes on businesses will kill economic growth in the state for centuries.

On the other side, the unions, including the California Teachers Association, Mark Zuckerberg and many community groups will claim that the initiative will promote greater fairness in the tax system and reasonably benefit the schools and other precious causes.

Governor Newsom will stay out of the battle for now until he sees which way the wind is blowing, and will get away with that by telling us that any adjustment to Prop. 13, passed by 65 percent of voters in 1978, should be part of a general tax reform program.

No matter how you feel about Prop. 13, which took away many reasonable ways for municipalities to tax our citizens but not all of them, it is going to be tested, as it should be.

What would be nice is for all the interest groups involved, and our beloved and pretty useless state elected officials, to sit down now and once and for all hammer out a tax reform program that is fair and equitable for all Californians, businesses and individuals.

But it won't happen because democracy does not work in this state, nor in this country, at this time.

BY JEFF FALCONER

N

arcissus was out hunting and came upon a pool, in which he saw his reflection. This Narcissus was known as something of a looker, with a history of spurning the advances of admirers he deemed unworthy. But when he saw his dreamy mug mirrored back at him, he was smitten. But things didn’t work out so well for him.

The behaviors named for this mythic gent are universally considered negative, since unhealthy obsession with self often leads to trouble. That brings us to the 2020 elections.

Bouncing our images back at us is now a business, and purveyors of reflection are quite sophisticated in the art of pimping us to ourselves. Political campaigns are no exception, staffed as they are by trained marketers who know that we, the people, are likely to buy what’s repeatedly advertised to us if it promises a better feeling, a better look, a better scent or a better life.

I’d venture to say that we of the progressive stripe are more concerned with embodying ideological purity than are most other citizens. Our communal passion for creating a better world is heartfelt and benign, but rooted in this shared virtue is the flaw that makes us self-destructive ninnies around election time.

In 2016, it was fashionable among my ilk to turn up the nose at candidates considered the “lesser of two evils.” This was justified because “they’re all the same.” I heard proud resolutions to “leave it blank,” cast write-in votes for pets, or boycott the election altogether.

I understood these sentiments, but was fearful of the outcome. I still am. After a two-year crash course on the fine points of greater evil, I’m really hoping we can accept a lesson here.

The coming election is less about voicing my heart’s conviction, and more about using my small point of leverage to shove our government toward doing less harm. (Forget no harm for now…) In the unthinkable event that the Democratic nominee doesn’t reflect my most cherished aspirations, showing up to vote for Donald Trump’s opponent in 2020 will be the most strategic and powerful action I can take.

Paper THE

NOT SO FAST PG&E has agreed to a $1 billion settlement to compensate the fire-ravaged North Bay,

but a bankrupcy court has to first sign off on the deal.

PG &—We’ll See? Lawsuit settlement with utility giant makes big headlines around the country—but the proposed payoff’s at least a year off BY TOM GOGOLA

T

here were so many headlines around the country about PG&E’s $1billion settlement with cities and counties last week, a casual observer might be moved to conclude that the utility’s wildfire-related lawsuits were now behind it.

Not so. In fact, there’s no

guarantee that Santa Rosa or Sonoma County will ever see any of the $414 million that’s part of the Sonoma Fire Complex piece of the settlement. And if they do, it won’t be until 2020. Plus, the embattled utility is reported to be facing down some $30 billion in additional lawsuits brought by businesses, individuals and homeowners affected by the fires.

As the news broke officials in

Sonoma County expressed cautious relief at the county’s proposed but unspecified piece of the settlement.

The $414 million figure for the North Bay was arrived at through mediation and will be divvied up between nine Sonoma and Napa counties and cities affected by the fires. The remainder is being directed at suits filed by Paradise and Butte County after last year’s firestorms to the north.

The bottom line is that nobody knows who’s getting what—that’s yet to be determined—except that the lawyers will be paid 18 percent of the net from whatever winds up in Sonoma’s coffers, according to the county’s contract with the law firms.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding it, the settlement announcement came at a salient moment where recovery efforts locally are faced with dwindling federal and state resources: Sonoma County had just been through a bruising budget season as it adopted a $1.78 billion budget for fiscal year 2019-20 that slashed jobs and fretted over its property-tax shortfall that’s an ongoing legacy from the 2017 wildfires.

Some 92 county positions were on the chopping block (the county managed to restore all but 40 of the proposed cuts) during this year’s round of budget talks, and in a press release, the county noted that it was continuing to pursue state money to “backfill property losses after experiencing a loss of over $200 million from the disasters experienced over the last two years.”

After footing the bill for cash-strapped counties and cities for two years, continued property tax backfill from the state is not part of the state’s final 2019-2020 budget, and if any final settlement is arrived at, it won’t be until mid-2020 that any regional city or county can use their share of the PG&E settlement to shore up local budgets or address the ongoing hole in their property-tax collections.

In the meantime, Sonoma County Supervisor David Rabbitt pledged to look for grants and seek reimbursement for the lost property tax income from the state and federal government, “but we must plan as if we are not going to receive any assistance,” he stressed in a statement that attended the county’s budget release two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, the timing of the mediated settlement announcement was a portent of good news for cities and

was good news for cities and counties struggling to rebuild and provide services, but adds that “all victims of the wildfire caused by PG&E deserve to be compensated for their losses, and I hope PG&E will do the right thing and settle with the individuals who lost their homes as well.”

According to a fire victims lawyer interviewed in the Wall Street Journal last week as the mediated settlement was reached, PG&E may be facing up to $30 billion in additional lawsuits, and not just from homeowners but potentially faces class-action suits related to negative health impacts from the deadly wildfires that scorched the North Bay and, for a few horrible days last summer, gave the Bay Area the unenviable position of having the worst air quality in the world.

To settle its suit with PG&E, the county leaned on a national law firm with a long history of litigation over asbestos and diseases that are said to be caused by the substance, including mesothelioma.

In February 2018, Sonoma County signed a contract with the law firm, Baron & Budd and two other fire-focused law firms, to represent the county and its agencies in litigation arising from the Sonoma complex Fires of October 2017. According to the contract, the litigation was “intended to insure that taxpayers and Sonoma County ratepayers do not bear the burden of the many millions of dollars of damages caused by the Sonoma Complex Fires.” But the settlement last week only partially unburdens Sonoma County taxpayers. The contract stipulates that the law firms would be paid for their services if the suit was settled favorably for the county.

As part of the agreement with outside counsel, the county also hired two lawyers to deal with fire litigation and said it would expect that “a reasonable amount of County Counsel fees will be incurred to support the lawsuit against PG&E,” and said it would be able to recoup up to $450,000 of county counsel expenditures “as party of any settlement.”

7

PAY NOW AND PAY LATER PG&E may still face $30 billion in additional

lawsuits stemming from the North Bay and Butte County fires.

The county budgeted $120,000 to pay for the additional lawyers brought on board to work the lawsuit and another $68,000 for work that had already been undertaken by the counsel’s office. The contract with Blum and other law firms set a contingency fee based on 18 percent of any net settlement or recovery that the firm obtained for the county. That means the law firm will get nearly one-fifth of any settlement that comes Sonoma County’s way.

The settlement is not settled yet. Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, along with seven other counties and cities, have only agreed to accept mediator Judge Jay Gandhi’s proposed settlement. In a joint statement last week, officials from Santa Rosa and Sonoma County noted that the allocation of the $415 million had not been determined. Before any monies wind up in county or city coffers, the mediated agreement will be incorporated into a PG&E’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The settlement is contingent on the Bankruptcy Court confirming PG&E’s reorganization plan.

Requests for comment from the Sonoma County counsel’s

office were directed to lawsuit point-person John Fiske at Baron & Budd. “It is in the best interest of the wildfire victim communities for PG&E to emerge from bankruptcy as soon as possible,” Fiske says via email.

“Communities cannot receive compensation unless and until PG&E is out. We hope all parties and lawyers can resolve disputes as efficiently as possible.”

Local officials were meanwhile cautiously optimistic and relieved that help may be on the way to plug their fire-related budget holes, but nobody’s counting their chickens just yet.

In a statement, Santa Rosa mayor Tom Schwedhelm gave an indication of where Santa Rosa’s piece of the settlement might be deployed: “This agreement, if approved, will not only help support Santa Rosa’s recovery, but also to aid in our ability to invest in resiliency measure that may better protect our community from future disasters.”

The sentiment was echoed by Rabbitt, who said the county’s piece of the settlement would be dedicated to fire-damaged roads, infrastructure and watersheds, “while protecting taxpayers.’

counties with big holes to fill in their wildfire-related budget shortfalls, but was it telling?

Sonoma County is not alone as cities around the region just now releasing their budgets and fiscal projections for next year and their annual financial reports from last year. Santa Rosa’s 2018 City Annual Financial Report (CAFR) signals its concern over the potential for lost property-tax backfill starting in 2019.

The proposed-but-by-no-meansfinalized $1 billion settlement made headlines far and wide, but the national-headline-machines did not crank up in similar fashion at news late last week that a proposed emergency fund to help utilities in California deal with future wildfires, to be funded by PG&E and its shareholders, would include some contributions from PG&E ratepayers, under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s draft wildfire recovery outline released last Friday.

Sen. Bill Dodd, one of the lawmakers who worked to sketch out the parameters of the proposed emergency fund, issued a statement late Friday that warned against putting too much burden on ratepayers to pay for wildfire damage in his wildfire recovery plan.

“The legislature has been working diligently on addressing wildfire risks, and I appreciate the time and thought Gov. Newsom has taken on this critical issue,” says Dodd in a statement.

“We look forward to carefully vetting the details of his draft and engaging in a collaborative process to develop a solution.

My ultimate focus remains on protecting ratepayers from undue costs, ensuring victims are compensated and on improving safety for all Californians.”

When it comes to the lingering property-tax conundrum, Dodd’s office says the senator has been advocating for a continuation of the property tax backfill for Sonoma and Napa counties, which wasn’t included in the state’s 2019-20 budget. “We’re continuing to push for additional support,” says Dodd via email.

The Napa-based senator says the settlement reached last week

here’s more to summer wine than chilled whites and rosés. On those summer evenings when an onshore breeze sneaks in under the still-blazing sun, the time and temperature are right for a light Pinot Noir from a cool climate region like, say, Anderson Valley.

But wait—the weather station in Boonville, the no-stoplight small town that’s the main settlement in Anderson Valley—says it’s 80 degrees at noon on this first, somewhat mild day of summer, while over in Graton

in cool climate Green Valley, it’s only 69. And the other day, even Philo, further up the valley, reported temps in the upper 90s, compared to the 80s in Santa Rosa. So, what gives about this cool climate Anderson Valley?

“While it’s something of a coastal climate, it’s a little shielded from the effects of the ocean,” says Adam Lee, winemaker at Siduri Wines. “Check the morning temperatures,” Lee advises, “because sometimes it gets colder in the mornings, and it takes longer to warm up. It’s not the highest high, but how long did it take to get there?” Although Siduri is renowned for its wide range of sources, from Oregon down to Santa Barbara, it ’s taken Lee nearly 25 years to get back to Anderson Valley, where he purchased his first grapes for the brand.

Lee says that weather stations don’t tell the whole story of elevation in Anderson Valley, and besides, “I tend to talk more about the fact that it’s fairly isolated, and people don’t know the area very well.” The valley’s more about farmers working their own vineyards than it’s about the kind of high-end hotels where sommeliers like to stay.

Lucky for Siduri, one of those family farmers is Jackson Family Wines, which has made big investments in the valley. JFW bought Siduri in 2015, but retained Lee as winemaker. Siduri’s 2017 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir ($40) blends fruit from three vineyards, up to 2,000 feet in elevation. This silky, light-hued Pinot shows woodsy and spicy, like split redwood. With flavors of strawberry and cranberry jam, and a hint of mint—or that Anderson Valley hallmark, pennyroyal—it’s on the warmer side of cool Pinot. Crack the screw cap and sip as an aperitif.

A cooler customer yet, Siduri’s 2017 Edmeades Anderson Valley Pinot Noir ($50) has an even more limpid, raspberry red hue, and a charming scent of raspberry pastille—pardon the fancy wine argot, but Jolly Rancher just won’t do—and milk chocolate. This is silky, too, but higher acidity lends it a sterner, more structured palate impression. The better option to serve with lighter summer fare off the grill, or to put in a bag and blind taste alongside a wine from Burgundy, France—where it’s forecast to hit 100 degrees on Wednesday, June 26.

Come to the Cabaret Five years in, the North Bay Cabaret continues to embrace the strange in Sonoma County BY CHARLIE SWANSON

Philip Pavliger

HOT TO TROT Performers

at the North Bay Cabaret include fire dancers, belly dancers and goth comedian Oliver Graves.

I

For Ward, “here” is the fiveyear anniversary of the North Bay Cabaret, which is celebrating half a decade of entertaining Sonoma County audiences by putting on a blowout variety show spectacular on Friday, June 28, at the Cabaret’s longtime home, the Whiskey Tip in Santa Rosa.

Five years ago, Ward was booking punk concerts at venues like the Arlene Francis Center, until he had an epiphany while attending a performance in Oakland.

“I’ve always been explicit that North Bay Cabaret was entirely inspired by another show, Tourettes Without Regrets,” says Ward.

“Once I saw my first variety show, I knew this was all I wanted to do.”

The variety show format that Ward fell in love with can include anything and everything within the live-show setting; burlesque dancing, belly dancing, standup comedy, circus sideshows, aerial acrobatics, spoken word, SLAM poetry, and live music.

“When I met Jake, he was blown away by how we were combining these different types of acts,” says Tourettes Without Regrets founder Jamie DeWolf. “How we blurred the boundaries, making no real distinction between highbrow and low-brow.”

Ward pieced together that first North Bay Cabaret lineup with people he knew, including DeWolf, musician Josh Windmiller and a goth comedian named Oliver Graves.

“The things that are inspiring to me about the variety show format are the diversity of art, the diversity of voices,” says Ward. “One moment you’re watching a dancer, the next there’s a hard-hitting poem, the next there’s a comedian. You go on this emotional roller coaster throughout the night.”

After that first successful show, DeWolf took Ward aside and gave him an order; make the North Bay Cabaret a monthly show.

“He told me, ‘If this is ever

going to become a scene and develop within the community, you need to do it consistently,” says Ward.

For the first year, it was a month-by-month thing, with ticket sales often covering most, but not all of the costs of paying the performers and crew. Many months, Ward dipped into his own pocket to make the event happen.

Obviously, Ward could not do it alone, and the North Bay Cabaret has become a labor of love for many people, including co-producer and technician Susy Dugan, who’s worked with Ward on events going back to 2012.

“He’s always had really unique and interesting taste,” says Dugan of Ward. “Whatever he was doing I wanted to support it.”

Over the years, Dugan and Ward have grown to advise and counsel each other in various projects, sharing concepts and developing new ideas. Other locals who’ve helped the North Bay Cabaret along the years include Tina Adair, Bella Dukessa, Amber Kernohan, Dusty Oertel, Mouse, Shelley Smith, Calamity, Wilder, Sonya Warry, Afina Flint, Dante Carlozzi, Barrie Sterling, Tyler McCourtney, Justin Walters and Alex Shapiro.

Eventually, community interest sustained the show, and for three years, the North Bay Cabaret kept up as a monthly event that adopted a new theme each time and took risks with artists creating acts specifically for that show.

“We started down the road of pun-based themes,” says Ward.

“For me, the name came first, then the theme that that implied.”

Themes included “Furbruary” with animal-inspired acts, and “Shocktober” which aimed to include shock value in the performances.

With artists embracing the challenge of creating an act to fit each theme, North Bay Cabaret became a catalyst for new art in the area.

”It starts to feel like this is not only an entertaining spectacle of different stuff, you’re getting these pockets of your local culture that you may not interact with day-to-day,” says Ward. “It becomes a community-builder.”

“Jake has made a place that encourages people to express themselves, and let their true selves out,” says Dugan. “It’s very supportive of the performers, it’s a safe environment and everyone looks out for each other. It allows people to feel a sense of belonging who would otherwise be on the outskirts of social norms and find people like them who aren’t afraid of being a little strange.”

That sentiment is echoed by several of the performers involved in the North Bay Cabaret, like longtime bellydancer Pauline Persichilli.

“What I love about it, is that it’s a platform of free space,” says Persichilli. “There’s not really any rules, no judgment, just time to express yourself. And there’s been some crazy acts.”

From turkey-stuffing dance routines for a Thanksgiving show, to Jabba the Hutt stripteases for a Stars Wars-themed cabaret, the stage at the Whisky Tip has seen some of the North Bay’s wildest side.

“It’s fun to do a diverse show like this, that’s very inclusive of all different types of people,” says Whisky Tip owner Joshua Porter.

“North Bay Cabaret crowds are our best crowds.”

In October of 2017, the North Bay wildfires changed everything.

Not only did the cabaret briefly suspend operations, mainly due to the fact that performances take place in the outdoor area of the Whiskey Tip, they took the time to re-examine the monthly format and ultimately decided to experiment with crafting fewer, but bigger shows each year. In addition, North Bay Cabaret has started exploring new venues and performance options, recently taking the stage at the Santa Rosa OutThere Exposition in April.

“That was cool for us, to have the hometown saying, ‘you’re part of what’s going on and we’ll put you on stage,’” says Ward. ) 12 The North Bay Cabaret

also recently collaborated with Lagunitas Brewing Company to supply the talent for the breweries’ first Pride event in June. This week’s anniversary show promises to be one of the Cabaret’s biggest showcases ever.

“I think the beautiful thing about creating variety shows is that you have different artists and performers in the same room who don’t run into each other in their artistic tracks,” says DeWolf. “When they combine, new partnerships happen, people start creating new acts, and what you’re going to see at the five-year anniversary show is all those talents converging. The lineup is insane.”

Performers at the upcoming show include San Francisco songwriter Rachel Lark, who sings about controversial subjects with the voice of an angel, Oakland burlesque performer Jet Noir, Sonoma County improv troupe the Natural Disasters-formerly known as the Gentlemen Bastards, sideshow acts from Afina Flint and standup from Graves, who’s dark one-liner brand of comedy landed him on television competition series “America’s Got Talent” last year and has made him a viral sensation across the internet.

“When I booked him (five years ago), I thought he was unique and weird and somewhat unsettling, and I thought that was fantastic,”

says Ward of Graves, whose tenure in the local scene largely began with North Bay Cabaret.

“This show has the experience, the punch of being in the moment with everyone watching it live,” says Graves. “The audiences are the ones that have made this event. It wouldn’t have gone on for five years if was struggling, the audience that keeps coming to these things keeps it going. That’s who I do it for.”

For the anniversary show, Graves is giving the audience something new, taking his disjointed one-line jokes and incorporating it into a full story, “but it’s going to be the way I would do it,” he adds.

“I think that reaching five years is a testament to there being a desire in the community for something to go see,” says Ward. “When we put on a show, we’re not in competition with other events in the area; we’re in competition with Netflix. The North Bay Cabaret is advocating for live entertainment and the audiences that come out are the impetus to make live entertainment sustainable.”

The North Bay Cabaret 5-Year Anniversary Show happens on Friday, June 28, at Whiskey Tip, 1910 Sebastopol Rd, Santa Rosa. 7pm. $20.

Reel Life

Two longtime friends battle midlife crises by opening a bowling alley/pizzeria in their small hometown in the new independent film comedy Phoenix, Oregon; but, of course, there’s much more to this film than gutter balls and pepperoni. Starring veteran character actors like James LeGros (Drugstore Cowboy), Kevin Corrigan (Goodfellas) and Diedrich Bader (“Veep”), the film is as heartfelt as they come, taking on big life issues with small-town charm and relatable characters. Phoenix, Oregon screens with the filmmakers in attendance on Tuesday, July 2, at Third Street Cinema Six, 620 Third St, Santa Rosa. 7pm. $11. 707.528.8770.

BODEGA BAY

LUNCH IS SERVED You can’t go wrong with the classic burger and beer combo at Casino in Bodega.

Bodega Bound Birds, burgers and beaches shine in coastal Sonoma County burgs BY THOMAS BRODERICK

T

here are towns.

There are towns that tourists visit.

And, finally, there are touristy towns. I’m happy to report that Bodega and Bodega Bay fall into that middle category.

They are two places that,

thanks to quirks of history (and probably a ton of zoning laws), it’s impossible for stores selling only vegan oatmeal cookies to exist in. And yet they provide just about everything visitors want in a memorable day trip: good food, beautiful nature and a few places tobuy meaningful souvenirs.

And, most importantly, Bodega and Bodega Bay are towns where

locals and tourists mingle without any grumbling on either side.

Let’s go on a trip.

Bodega Burger Growing up, I lived under the impression that the Casino Bar & Grill was California’s tiniest Indian casino. But, stepping inside for the first time, I

discovered there was nary a slot machine nor poker table in sight.

Instead, I found rustic décor and what is likely the shortest Sunday lunch menu in the North Bay: “Burger or hot dog?”

To the grill’s credit, the menu expands considerably later in the day to offer diners BBQ oysters and dishes featuring local ingredients. Chef Mark Malicki creates inspired dinner menus that change daily. But for someone stopping by for a quick lunch, the burger was the perfect pairing with a Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale. My belly more than satisfied, I spent my change indulging in my favorite childhood pastime: pinball. With everything in the North Bay getting more expensive all the time, getting five balls for a single quarter on the Grill’s Indianapolis 500 pinball machine was a welcome treat.Souvenirs and Stories Visit Bodega on the weekend, and you'll find two excellent places to pick up an enduring memory of your trip. Seagull Antiques Gifts & Collectables (17190 Bodega Hwy) sells knickknacks of every shape and size. Visit on the right day, and you might find a prop from The Birds for sale.

At Bodega Landmark Studio Collection (17255 Bodega Hwy), proprietor Lorenzo De Santis offers much more than just lithographs, photography, and ceramics from some of the North Bay’s most talented artists.

Upon telling him I was a writer, he mentioned he was writing a book on music in the early 1970s.

Then he motioned behind the counter, to one of his photographs of George Harrison performing just a few years after the Beatles’ breakup.

He opened a drawer and showed me additional photographs of Harrison, Steve Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen and Grand Funk Railroad. "Were you a journalist or band photographer?"

I asked, noting he’d taken the pictures from either the front row or on stage. A little bit of everything, he said. By this time, a group of visitors had joined us to hear more stories. De Santis pulled out a photo he’d taken of

Grand Funk Railroad performing in 1974. He told us it wasn’t until he’d enlarged the image that he discovered a news camera had been pointed right at him at them moment he’d taken the photo.

One YouTube search later and—lo and behold—he found himself, 45 years younger, face obscured by a long telephoto lens.

Alfred Hitchcock’s furious fowl may have made Bodega and Bodega Bay famous around the world, but it’s the locals who keep this place special.

Up on The Head

LAND MEETS SEA Bodega Head attracts its share of tourists, but it’s easy to get away for some solitude.

languages. Yet, there were plenty of locals. That’s the great thing about this place—it brings all kinds of people together.

Battle of the Oysters It would be an injustice to write about Bodega Bay and not discuss the seafood. In the winter, crab is the star, but since the crab pots are still tied up for a few more months at Spud Point Marina (1818 Westshore Rd.), I had to turn to the Bay’s year-round favorite: oysters.

“Come Shell or High Water” greets visitors when they step inside Bodega Bay Oyster Company (12830 Valley Ford Rd.), a local institution that, despite its name, is actually in Petaluma.

I ordered the sampler ($12)—two

extra-small, two small, and two Kumamoto oysters—and took a seat outside. Valley Ford Road may get a bit congested on the weekends, but you can’t beat the view. A little trash can in the bottom right-hand corner of my vision would have made the Windows XP background experience complete.

Having traveled to the Pacific Northwest the week before to sample the region’s oyster offerings, I needed to reacquaint my palate with our beloved bivalves. The sampler arrived, and I dug in. In my completely biased opinion, I’m happy to report that Washington state oysters don’t hold a candle to ours. And, if you should make Bodega Bay Oyster Company a stop during your summer travels along the coast,

the Kumamotos are definitely worth the splurge. Yes, each oyster may have no more than a grape-sized amount of meat inside, but the buttery, briny flavor sure packs a punch.

Branching Out…or Not From Bodega or Bodega Bay, it’s possible to drive to so many places in less than an hour: Sebastopol, Dillon Beach, Jenner, Occidental, Marshall, Point Reyes Station, etc. By all means, take some side trips this summer if you’re so inclined. But if you'd instead relax than wander, there's no better place to end a lazy summer day than watching the sunset from Bodega Head.

I’ll see you there.

SPOTLIGHT ON BODEGA BAY

Bodega Head is much more than Sonoma County’s best place to escape the summer heat. Not only are there level walking trails with great views, there are plenty of flat areas where you can unfold your chair, look out over the ocean, and imagine yourself the lord of all creation. If you should visit emptyhanded, relax at what is likely the county’s most secluded picnic table. From there you can gaze upon Tomales Bay and the seals perched on Bodega Rock.

Although the weather report had called for fog, clouds, and chilly temps, I was greeted by clear skies, a warm sun and just the slightest breeze. The parking area was nearly full, and families were taking out lawn chairs and coolers. One teenage girl even had a guitar. Photographers sporting the latest DSLR cameras waited for the perfect shot of the crashing waves and birds.

I’ve been to Bodega Head more times than I remember, but each visit brings something new.

Sometimes it’s the flowers or butterflies, but on this visit, it was the water. Maybe it was the time of day or year, but the water didn’t look like what you’d associate with Northern California. The bright blue was something reminiscent of Capri or the Amalfi Coast.

I’ve never been to either of those places, but at that moment it was easy to imagine Roman ruins along the Sonoma coast.

Bodega Head is big enough that even if the parking lot is full, it never feels crowded. On my walk around the cliff, I heard no fewer than three foreign

A Real Show

Stars come out at Jack London Park

BY HARRY DUKE

F

or eight years, the Transcendence Theatre Company has entertained local audiences with top quality musical revues featuring magnificent choreography set to a mixture of show tunes and popular musical hits. Utilizing talent with Broadway and national touring company experience, the question “When are they going to do a real show?” has lingered over the winery ruins in Jack London State Park for some time.

The answer is right now as Transcendence presents A Chorus

Ray Mabry

Stage

16

Line, their first full-length book musical. The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning classic about dancers auditioning for eight spots in a Broadway chorus is tailor-made for this company.

Being put through their paces by demanding director Zach (Matthew Rossoff), the 17 performers who make the first cut (the show loses a third of its diverse cast after about 20 minutes) are subjected to penetrating interviews. Who are they? What brought them to dance? What would they do if they couldn’t dance? Their stories are the show. Family problems, sexual awakenings, body image issues and more are beautifully addressed through song and dance.

In a pre-show speech, director Amy Miller shared with the sold-out audience that A Chorus Line was her favorite musical because it was about real people. That, along with the fact that most of the cast have either lived or are currently living lives very similar to the ones they portray, made several characters lack of credibility disappointing.

Some are played too broadly; others are not played strongly enough. Kristin Piro delivers an excellent Cassie, but I didn’t buy her relationship with Zach for a second. Rossoff simply did not exude the vocal power and physical authority required of the role.

More than credible was Royzell D. Walker who, while having the least “legitimate” stage experience of the cast (he’s a recent graduate of the University of Alabama), brought a commanding stage presence, a terrific voice and dynamite dance moves to the character of Richie.

Natalie Gallo is superb as Diana Morales, who regales us first with her tale of being told she was “nothing” and then with the showstopping “What I Did for Love.”

It’s a good first effort by the company that would have benefited from more nuanced direction.

There’s great dancing, some very nice vocal work, but uneven acting. In the parlance of the show: Dance: 10, Voice: 8, Character: 6 Rating (out of 5): ‘A Chorus Line' runs Friday–Sunday through June 30 in Jack London State Historic Park. 2400 London Ranch Road, Glen Ellen.

One 4 All hether drilling into the nerves that connect empty-nest parents to their anxieties, or exposing a child’s deepest fears, nobody knows how to tap into childhood-related trauma like Pixar. In its Toy Story series, Pixar took the example of Margery Williams’ popular and dire 1922 kids’ book The Velveteen Rabbit about the suffering and ultimate resurrection of a stuffed bunny, and satirized the uncanniness of walking, talking toys. Here, debuting director Josh Cooley balances the ebullient humor of the toybox with the story’s essential tragedy.

his dignity by protecting a tenderfoot toy Bonnie made out of a plastic spork with pipe cleaner arms and googly eyes.

Forky (Tony Hale), who longs to return to the garbage from which he was repurposed, is a flight risk. During a family RV vacation, he gets loose.

Woody tracks the fugitive to a tourist town antique store; a fortress run by a damaged 1950s baby doll called Gabby Gabby (a remarkable performance of neurosis and loneliness voiced by Christina Hendricks). This queen bee is protected by a mute goon squad of ventriloquist dummies— scary, but scary in a good way, that thrilling way that makes the best Disney cartoons sing.

Stalemated, Woody encounters a guerrilla band of freed toys living in the wilderness of a city park. They’re led by an old friend, now a wild woman with the skills of a general.

Today’s movies aren’t built half as well as these cartoons, with their Hans Christian Anderson terrors and brash humor. The engineering of fright, laughter, chases, and sweet relief here is classic.

‘Toy Story 4’ is playing in wide release.

TAYST & SEE While they played together for more than a decade, Aftertayst guitarist Dan Kabanuck says the band never had a good recording of their work until now.

Stay Heavy

Aftertayst Returns with 30-song collection BY DAVID TEMPLETON

A

ftertayst is back.

Dan Kabanuck, guitarist with the storied Sonoma County metal band, says there was a time when he thought his band was finished.

“We did it for 12 years,” Kabanuck says. “We worked it really hard.

We got really close. We hung out with Metallica. We opened for Testament and Death Angel. We played with some really big bands.

We were there. We were right there.

We could taste it.”

And then, it was over.

All that was left were some old posters, a stack of recordings no one had ever been entirely satisfied with and great memories tinged with a bit of regret.

“There’s an invisible veil that you can’t get through from this side unless someone on the other side reaches over and pulls you through,” Kabanuck says. “For whatever reason, that never happened. We never attracted quite enough attention to be pulled through. And ultimately we just imploded.”

Kabanuck eventually returned to his original career as a real estate broker.

“I took a hiatus from real estate to

become a rock star,” he says, “then came back because, you know, I didn’t become a rock star.”

Now, not only is Aftertayst back—and getting ready for a huge reunion show with the band Krawl at Spancky’s Bar in Cotati—the band is redoing the group’s entire catalog with state-of-the-art technology at Cotati’s legendary Prairie Sun recording studios.

“The thing is, we never got a really good CD,” he explains. “We recorded a lot of our stuff. It never worked out. But my youngest kid started listening to my old music, and he was liking it. Eventually, I thought, ‘We should really re-record a few of our songs, and do it right this time.’

And then ‘a few songs’ turned into all of the songs, and now here we are, 22 songs recorded out of a 30song collection we plan to release sometime later this year.”

But first, there’s that big reunion show at Spancky’s.

“I think we still sound good,” says Kabanuck. “We’re fast, we’re furious, we’re good old school metal.”

Aftertayst and Krawl play Saturday, June 29, at Spancky’s Bar, 8201 Old Redwood Hwy, Cotati.9 pm to 1 pm. $5. 707.664.0169.

hingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and is related to the chickenpox virus.

What triggers an outbreak is unclear, but stress, trauma and a compromised immune system seem to be culprits. I came down with a case two weeks ago.

The pain was uncomfortable, but not severe. It’s going to get worse, my doctor warned me. Shingles is a potentially debilitating condition because it exposes nerve endings on your skin. It generally lasts two to five weeks, but pain and nerve damage can last indefinitely.

Endless nerve pain? My doctor prescribed an anti-viral medication which was supposed to shorten the duration of the disease, as well as Tylenol 3 for pain. Then I did what you’re not supposed to do when you’re sick: I went online.

But rather than read worse-case scenarios, I researched what cannabis could do for shingles, since it seems to be prescribed for just about everything else.

Turns out there’s a wide body of research that shows the efficacy of using cannabis to treat shingles.

According to the United Patient’s

Group, traditional painkillers don’t fight shingles pain well because shingles damages nerve receptors that would normally allow them to work. But the receptors for cannabis are located throughout the body and escape shingles’ attack. That means cannabis can provide pain relief as well as reduce inflammation.

A 2011 study in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology (“Regulatory Role of Cannabinoid Receptor 1 in StressInduced Excitotoxicity and Neuroinflammation”) found that our endocannabinoid system, which is activated by cannabis, has neuro-protective functions that can guard against nerve inflammation and damage.

Thus encouraged, I stocked up on a THC-rich salve and lozenges with equal parts THC and CBD. After a week of using both, I’m feeling better. Small, non-psychoactive doses of cannabis helped with the pain better than Tylenol 3 and my rashes are almost gone.

Do I have cannabis to thank?

The anti-viral medication probably played a role, but my recovery was much faster than I anticipated.

Cannabis might help you, too, if you’re similarly afflicted.
