In our ‘Crude awakening’ story last week, we wrote about the Bay Area refinery corridor in Contra Costa and Solano counties.

‘Potential threats’

The Florida mass shooting has even more anti-Second Amendment liberals (if you’ll pardon the expression) up in arms about guns in America. Even more disturbing than the atrocity itself is the fact that no major news outlet would ever dare attack the real culprit plaguing not only America, but the entire world— religion. Without this diseased mindset, we’d all be so much better off, yet nobody wants to come out and say restrictions should be placed on freedom of religion.

Churches, mosques, temples and all places of worship should be monitored and taxed for the businesses they are, and the potential threats they pose to a free society.

Dirty crude California is already producing far more oil than it consumes [‘Crude awakening,’ June 8]. Do we want to destroy the Bay Area’s air quality with tar sands just so we can act as the world’s gas station?

Cap and trade deals only with carbon, not with the toxic pollutants that are emitted from refineries. Tar sands refining is a highly toxic process that simply should not be allowed—especially in the middle of a dense population center. If I, as an individual, wanted to poison my neighbor with cancercausing chemicals, could I justify it by planting a tree in Maine?

If you would like to help stop the dangerous rush toward dirty crude, please write to the BAAQMD Board of Directors or contact your region’s board members to express your support:

‘Get used to it’ Charlie Murphy: What is the value that dogs bring to the human race that “miserable souls” like me don’t appreciate or understand, or, more likely, don’t necessarily agree with [Letters, June 8]? While you’re chewing on your pencil, permit me to throw out some thoughts for your consideration.

We no longer live in isolated “Little Houses on the Prairie,” where it may have been reassuring to hear the distant barking of a neighbor’s dog because it meant we weren’t entirely alone. Most of us live cheek to jowl now, and most of us try to respect our neighbors’ rights even as we hope they will respect ours. Unfortunately, some dog owners seem willfully unclear on the concept. My dog barks? My dog shits on your lawn? Well, that’s what dogs do. Get used to it.

You may be right that there are people out there “who love to make rules to restrict other people’s freedoms,” but it’s more likely they support the making of rules because, without them, some people will trample over other people’s rights in hot pursuit of what they arrogantly assume to be their own.

Of water and wine New vineyards and resorts rising above the Napa Valley threaten the region’s water

By Stett Holbrook

Paolo Vescia

Napa’s challenge is to protect the land from the excesses of what agriculture has become—viticulture, wineries and activities that look more like tourism than agriculture.

T

his article was produced with the Food & Environment Reporting Network, a nonprofit investigative news organization.

In the winter of 2015, a Hong Kong real estate conglomerate purchased the Calistoga Hills Resort, at the northern end of the Napa Valley, for nearly $80 million. Today, mature oaks and conifers cover the 88-acre property, which flanks the eastern slope of the Mayacamas Mountains.

But soon, 8,000 trees will be cut,

making way for 110 hotel rooms, 20 luxury homes, 13 estate lots and a restaurant. Room rates will reportedly start at about $1,000 a night, and the grounds will include amenities like a pool, spas, outdoor showers and individual plunge pools outside select guest rooms.

Following the sale, one of the most expensive in the nation based on the number of rooms planned, commercial broker James Escarzega told a Bay Area real estate journal that the project “will be a game changer for the luxury hotel market in Napa Valley.” That may well be

true, but it’s likely not the kind of game changer that many locals want to see.

While the Napa Valley conjures images of idyllic winery estates and luxurious lifestyles, all is not well in wine country. A growing number of residents decry the region’s proliferation of upscale hotels, the wineries that double as event centers and the strain on Napa Valley’s water resources. In the wake of California’s unprecedented drought, the city of Calistoga—like others—has been under mandatory water rationing.

“We’re told not to flush our toilets,” says Christina Aranguren, a vocal critic of the proposed resort, whose guests will be under no such restrictions. “I want to know where the water will come from.”

Other new developments will further strain local infrastructure.

The 22-acre Silver Rose Resort, across town from the Calistoga Hills Resort, will feature an 84-room hotel and spa, 21 homes, a restaurant, a winery and a six-acre vineyard. Last year, Calistoga’s Indian Springs Resort underwent a $23 million expansion and added 75 new guest rooms to bring its total to

Preserving ag In many respects, the Napa Valley is a national model for land conservation, thanks to the creation of its agricultural preserve, the first in the country, which declared ag and open space the “highest and best use”

of most land outside Napa’s towns, and specified agriculture as the area’s only allowable commercial use. Signed in 1968, the ordinance is credited with preventing the type of development that has gobbled so much farmland around the Bay Area. But today, Napa’s challenge is to protect the land from the excesses of what agriculture has become—viticulture, wineries and activities that look more like tourism than agriculture.

Ironically, one of the prime shapers and advocates of the agricultural preserve warned, in more recent times, that ag’s evolution in the Napa Valley had come to pose a mortal threat to open space and watersheds. That man, Volker Eisele, died in 2015, but not before he identified hillside protection as critical but unfinished business.

A native of Münster, Germany, Eisele was a student at UC Berkeley when he and his wife, Liesel, began visiting the Napa Valley in the early 1960s. They moved to the northeast side of the Chiles Valley in 1974 and soon began growing grapes on their 400-acre creekside property, which had been planted with vines in the mid-1800s. Farming organically long before the practice entered the mainstream, Eisele ran his Volker Eisele Family Estate out of a cupolatopped winery that had been in operation right up until Prohibition.

The family lived in a storybook Victorian home surrounded by a kitchen garden and vineyards that brush up against—but do not climb—steeply rising hills.

Alexander Eisele, Volker’s son and now the manager of the family’s vineyard and winery operations, remembers his father gazing at those hills and asking, “Why is it so beautiful here?” And then Eisele answered himself: “Because the land hasn’t been destroyed. It doesn’t have houses on it.” But Eisele knew that situation might not hold. Fearing that Napa’s fertile farmland might go the way of Santa Clara County’s prune orchards—now known as Silicon Valley—he threw himself into land-conservation efforts that would extend the protections of the ag preserve above the valley floor.

Fifty years ago, when the preserve became law, cattle were the valley’s most valuable agricultural product.

Grapes covered only about 12,000 acres. And while many farmers, developers and some winemakers originally considered the preserve overly restrictive, they eventually came to embrace it. Of course, agriculture in the valley has changed radically in the intervening years: Today’s cattle operations are economic

115.

Northeast of the city of Napa, in the rugged hills near Atlas Peak, vineyard developers have proposed removing nearly 23,000 trees to develop 271 acres of vineyards on the 2,300-acre Walt Ranch, which occupies a sensitive watershed above the city’s most pristine reservoir. A decision on the project is expected later this summer. Elsewhere in the valley, about 40 new and modified winery projects, and about 30 new vineyards, await county approval.

“We’re in the middle of a business war,” says St. Helena resident Geoff Ellsworth, a member of Wine and Water Watch, a wine-industry watchdog. “This big corporation is competing against that big corporation, and the collateral damage are the citizens and the flora and fauna.”

The frontlines of Napa’s battles are the hillsides that rise from its narrow valley, which is maxed out with grapes. The situation leaves new or expanding vineyards with only one place to go: Up. Though the hills are zoned for agriculture, critics says converting them to vineyards threatens both groundwater and the Napa River, the 55-mile waterway that runs the length of the valley and provides essential habitat to several imperiled species.

“It’s just been a death by a thousand cuts,” says Angwin’s Mike Hackett, organizer behind a ballot initiative aimed at reining in hillside vineyard development. “The cumulative impacts of this have not been felt until water became an issue. Now everybody is concerned.”

Napa winegrowers are already subject to some of the toughest hillside- and vineyard-conversion regulations in the state, but enforcement has been inconsistent and new projects keep emerging.

The Napa River, notes San Francisco attorney Thomas Lippe, who successfully sued the county in 1999 over hillside-vineyard development, “hasn’t improved. The valley’s groundwater resources are continuing to be stressed. And there’s a continuing loss of biodiversity.” As for county regulators and vineyard developers, he adds, they “just don’t want to deal with it.”

footnotes compared to the mighty grape. According to the Napa Valley Vintners trade group, the wine industry and related businesses in 2012 contributed more than $13 billion to the Napa County economy and provided 46,000 local jobs, making it the largest local industry by far (wine-related tourism brings in more than $1 billion). Today, vines sprawl over 45,000 acres of the valley, which contains approximately 475 wineries. That’s one winery, roughly, every one-and-a-half square miles.

Napa’s ag preserve originally protected 26,000 acres; today, it’s close to 40,000. The preserve successfully confined residential and urban development to the cities, and it received further protection in 1990, when Eisele, fearing that developers could one day undo these limits, helped to pass an ordinance that requires two-thirds of county voters’ approval for any proposed land-use changes within the preserve.

But in what some locals consider an end-run around this law, called Measure J, the Napa County Board of Supervisors has in recent years made small but critical changes to its general plan, expanding the definition of agriculture and

wineries. Now land set aside for ag can host more marketing and sales activities, more food-andwine dinners, more tours, business events, weddings and even jousting tournaments. The increase in commercial activity adds noise and traffic to rural areas, and it strains the integrity of the preserve.

“We’ve lost the idea of what the ag preserve was,” says Norma Tofanelli, a fourth-generation farmer and the no-nonsense president of the Napa County Farm Bureau. “It was about saving land. It has nothing to do with wineries. [But now] our general plan elevates many urban uses to the same level of agricultural uses.

That puts tremendous pressure on ag land, and ultimately we will lose it.”

A river impaired Over millennia, the Napa River deposited much of the soil that supports the valley’s vast carpet of vines. But for 40 years, the EPA has classified the waterway as “impaired” due to excessive levels of pathogens, sediment and oxygendepleting nutrients like nitrates and phosphates, which are discharged from wastewater treatment plants and runoff from cattle »8

board’s recommendation to delist the river. The ongoing drought, he says, plus illegal water diversions and groundwater pumping, results in less water to dilute pollutants in the river.

Water temperatures are rising and fish populations are trying to hang on, he says. “Steelhead trout now inhabit less than 20 percent of their former habitats in the Napa River basin because of flow diminishment,” he wrote in comments to the water board.

Those fish, he says, “will go extinct if more decisive action is not taken.”

Unfinished business

Chris Malan, Napa County’s most ardent environmentalist, has been working to improve the Napa River for decades.

ranches and vineyards.

The nutrients have spurred excessive algal growth. The algae choke the river and lower levels of dissolved oxygen, which is critical for salmon, steelhead trout and other aquatic species. While the river is cleaner than it once was, and some riparian habitat has been restored, the feds still consider its steelhead population threatened and its Chinook salmon endangered. As for the native coho salmon? Extinct since the 1960s.

In recent years, the state has limited three Napa Valley cities from discharging treated wastewater into the Napa River during periods of low base flow, a directive that has helped improve water quality to the point where the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board in 2014 recommended lifting its “impaired” classification. The board is also preparing its first-ever erosion-control rules for agriculture, with a draft environmental impact report expected this summer.

Chris Malan, Napa County’s most ardent environmentalist, has been working to improve the river for decades. Back in the early 2000s, she donned a snorkel and mask to survey creeks in the Napa River watershed for steelhead. In her run for a seat on

the Napa County Board of Supervisors this year, she called for a moratorium on new wineries in Napa County. Her platform did not endear her to the wine industry, and she failed to make it past the June 7 primary.

Malan welcomes the state’s new agrelated erosion-control rules, and she gives credit to winegrowers who have worked with the county and state to implement best-management practices on their property. But she strongly opposes delisting the river for nutrients because many of its tributaries are still often choked with algae—a point she made to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board by presenting video footage of Tulocay Creek, a major tributary to the Napa River. “You couldn’t see the surface of the water,” Malan says. “It was covered with a green mat of algae for as far as you could see.”

Malan says nutrients from vineyards have gone unregulated and must be brought into compliance. “We have to hit the pause button,” she says. “We’ve got to figure out how to get this right, because it’s just not OK to kill all the fish and have people drink polluted water.”

Arcata-based fisheries biologist Patrick Higgins, who has worked on steelhead and salmon restoration for 20 years, also opposes the water

Shortly before he died from a stroke at the age of 77, Eisele shared a glass of wine with Mike Hackett. “We took care of the ag preserve, and now we need to take care of the ag watershed,” Eisele told his friend, referring to the valley hillsides and creeks that drain into the river. “There are more very wealthy people and corporations coming into the valley, and they are not interested in the environment. They are only interested in the expansion of their vineyard properties, and the only place left [for them to go] is in the ag watershed. So watch out. Trees are going to start coming down.”

Hackett remembers this talk with his conservation mentor as a call to action, the impetus for crafting a ballot measure called the Water, Forest and Oak Woodland Protection Initiative.

The initiative aims to protect the Napa River watershed by tightening restrictions on deforestation, which reduces a hillside’s ability to store groundwater. Without trees to impede it, rain sheets downhill, erodes stream banks and dumps sediment into the river, degrading fish habitat.

Though supporters gathered more than 6,000 of the 3,900 signatures required to place it on the ballot in November, the county counsel's office rejected the initiative on a technicality June 10, just four days after the registrar of voters qualified it for the ballot. Attorneys with Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger, the law firm that drafted the initiative, plan to file suit on behalf of its proponents. The firm also drafted and defended appeals to Measure J up to the California Supreme Court.

“We believe that county counsel’s opinion is dead wrong, and that the county acted illegally,” says Robert “Perl” Perlmutter, attorney with Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger. “In our experience, the county's arguments are those that are typically made by special interest industry groups opposing land-use measures and that the courts have rejected.”

If the initiative is ultimately

adopted, developers of new vineyards would be limited to removing no more than 10 percent of oaks from hillside parcels and prohibited from removing most timber within 150 feet of large streams or wetlands.

(The state’s proposed erosion-control regulations, now under review, would create best management practices for existing vineyards, while the county’s oak woodland initiative would protect hillsides before they’re converted or replanted to vines.)

History reveals not only the need for such protections, but for better enforcement and significant penalties as well. In 1989, heavy rains sent tons of silt from a new vineyard on Howell Mountain into the Bell Canyon Reservoir, fouling the main drinking-water source for St. Helena.

In response, the county enacted a first-ever erosion control ordinance.

But eight years later, the Pahlmeyer winery cleared a hillside without a permit. The incident didn’t cause similar erosion and might have gone unnoticed if the property hadn’t been visible from the hillside home of environmentalist Malan. With the help of the Sierra Club and attorney Lippe, Malan successfully sued the county, Pahlmeyer and other wineries for failing to properly evaluate the environmental impact of vineyard projects. Now all vineyard developments are subject to public review under the powerful California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Still, proponents of the Water, Forest and Oak Woodland Protection Initiative don’t believe that CEQA and county regulations will adequately protect the region’s fragile hillsides from projects like the Walt Ranch.

Last April, Joy Eldredge, manager of the Napa Water Division, submitted a withering critique of the project to the county planning department. The environmental impact report, she wrote, failed to demonstrate that the Walt Ranch project won’t adversely affect the Milliken Reservoir, the city’s highest quality water source. As the recession recedes and crowding on the valley floor sends vineyards uphill, she predicted, the quality of Napa’s drinking water will decline as its cost rise.

As evidence of what can go wrong, Eldredge points to the city’s other drinking water supply, the Lake Hennessey reservoir. Unchecked fertilizer runoff from upstream vineyards has increased Hennessey’s phosphate and sulfate levels, which have spurred algal growth. The nutrients have also quadrupled the utility’s cleanup costs, which include treating the water with algaecides and chlorine. Unfortunately, this process can also generate byproducts

non-oak trees and more hillside home development when vineyard planting and other ag uses become too costly and difficult.

Like many businesspeople, Hall (no relation to Kathryn and Craig Hall) prefers voluntary stewardship to top-down regulation. In 2002, he and a coalition of the wine industry, the Napa County Farm Bureau, environmental groups and state and local government initiated a certification program called Fish Friendly Farming, which teaches property owners in the Napa River watershed how to reduce bank erosion and flood damage, improve fish habitat and reduce sedimentation.

While critics say the program, now called Napa Green, allows for certification after harmful grading and tree removal have already taken place, it does teach best practices in sediment control, and program leaders claim it has substantially reduced the flow of nutrients and sediment into the watershed. According to Ted Hall, more than 40 percent of Napa Valley vineyards have been certified under the program.

The reckoning Residents of the Napa Valley have long invoked Volker Eisele’s name with reverence. Because he was a landowner,

a winemaker and a member of the Farm Bureau, he moved in many different circles, making allies who helped him shape and promote important conservation legislation.

But it’s not clear, now, who has the stature to protect the Napa Valley’s remaining natural areas from the wine juggernaut. Napa Vision 2050—a coalition of more than a dozen civic and environmental groups that advocates for responsible planning—is pushing hard against the status quo.

Many of its members, plus scores of other volunteers, helped collect signatures for the Water, Forest and Oak Woodland Protection Initiative.

The valley’s wine trade groups have united in opposition to its protections, as has the Farm Bureau.

Whatever the outcome of the battle over the initiative, it seems clear that Napa Valley’s success as a winegrowing and tourism powerhouse has been, as the commercial broker quipped to the media, a game-changer. Exactly how residents reckon with these changes will define the valley in the months and years ahead. It is a reckoning the prescient Volker Eisele saw coming.

“That this could change rapidly, to this day, human beings have trouble believing,” he told an oral historian in 2008. Harmful development, he said, “can happen more or less overnight, if you allow it.”Y

and permanently protecting 551 acres of woodlands.

To Stuart Smith, a vocal propertyrights defender who has owned Smith-Madrone Vineyards & Winery, in the western hills above St. Helena, since 1971, the oak woodland initiative is a solution in search of a problem.

If passed, he says, it would force him and other growers to apply for costly permits when they expand or replant their vineyards. Napa Valley winegrowers already face plenty of regulation, he says. Any additional requirements will only serve to drive out small, family-owned wineries like his, leaving only big or corporate-backed wineries—the very operations that “gloom-and-doom environmentalists” rail against.

“It’s already happening,” Smith says. “The billionaires are driving the millionaires out.” And if the initiative passes? “My chainsaws are going to be running,” he says. “I’m not going to let these yahoos do this to me.”

Ted Hall, the president and CEO of St. Helena–based Long Meadow Ranch, a winery and diversified farm with 2,500 acres in production in Napa and Humboldt counties, calls the proposed initiative an anti-farming ruse cloaked in environmentalism. No science backs up the oak woodland initiative, Hall claims, and it could even result in the removal of more

called trihalomethanes, which have been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage and bladder and rectal cancers.

“Caught between long-term trends of increasingly stringent drinkingwater-quality standards on one hand, and increasing county vineyard development approvals on the other,” Eldredge wrote, “the city and its water customers end up bearing the burden of degraded water quality from vineyard development and the need to carry out costly drinking-watertreatment-upgrade projects. The county should prevent the shifting of vineyard development impacts onto the city and its public-drinking-water customers.”

So far, the cost of treating Lake Hennessey water has not been passed on to customers, but if Lake Milliken were to be tainted by vineyard runoff, Eldredge says, rates would rise to cover the cost of new treatment infrastructure.

The Walt Ranch project will, like other hillside vineyards, employ runoff- and erosion-control systems: Engineers will dig on-site retention ponds to hold stormwater, then pipe that flow to nearby creeks. But Lippe says those erosion control methods, which conform to a county ordinance, are fundamentally flawed. Yes, the ponds and pipes can control erosion on the vineyard property and those directly below it, but when that water shoots off-site from a pipe under high pressure, it undercuts stream banks, erodes streambeds and stirs up sediment. The county, says Lippe, “simply hasn’t adjusted its runoff calculation models to account for how water behaves once you put it into a plastic pipe.”

Walt Ranch developers Kathryn and Craig Hall—who moved to the area from Texas, where Craig made his fortune in real estate and was once a part-owner of the Dallas Cowboys—defend the integrity of their project and their commitment to the environment. Their vineyards boast organic certification, and their St. Helena winery was California’s first to win LEED Gold certification.

According to its environmental impact report, the project’s erosion-control system will reduce the current flow of sediment off undeveloped land into Milliken Creek by 43 percent, and level spreaders and rock aprons will disperse and filter storm water ejected from the ranch’s pipe outlets.

“We have a good project,” Mike Reynolds, president of Hall Wines, says.

“We are following the directions of the scientists and the county.”

The Halls also promise to remove less than 10 percent of the property’s trees—and mitigate those trees’ loss by planting trees elsewhere on the ranch

Winegrower Stuart Smith says that any new hillside vineyard regulations will drive out small winemakers like him.

n summer, one could do worse than to eat like a vegetable farmer. While veggies are often labor-intensive, farmers have ways of preparing them quickly, because they have less time on their hands than you do. After years of exposure to their produce, growers have found the most efficient ways of preparing it in the most flattering of ways. When that food is romaine lettuce, the accompanying research has shown that the yummiest way to eat it is with Creamy. The proper noun, that is, short for creamy salad dressing.

On a certain farm that grows particularly good romaine lettuce, Creamy is a way of life. If you ask Luci, the matriarch of the farm, how she is doing, if things are going well she’ll say, “We’re creamy.”

Despite any assumptions that a literal interpretation of the word “creamy” might inspire, this dressing does not contain actual cream.

It can, if the Creamy maker is so inclined, contain dairy products like shredded parmesan cheese.

When Luci makes Creamy for a midsummer salad topped with mutton, she replaces half the mayo with yogurt.

Creamy is a luxurious and sparkling, if soupy, version of mayo itself, oozing into the cracks and

gaps in the flavor of whatever it is applied to, and making your food taste whole. Better, even.

Like mayo, Creamy is a condiment for the people, descended from royal roots. Creamy is what happened when Caesar salad had a lovechild with a bottle of Ranch.

Creamy Ingredients 2-4 cloves fresh garlic, mashed with ½ teaspoon salt. This time of year you can use scapes instead of bulb garlic. ½ cup of lemon or lime juice and/ or white vinegar like champagne or white balsamic. Experiment with different acids each time you make it. My current fav is lime with white balsamic.

2 tsp grated lemon zest (lime doesn't zest as well, but it can work) 1 teaspoon each of dry mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce ½ cup mayo (or Vegenaise, which Luci and I both prefer) About the same amount of olive oil.

Directions Combine ingredients and mix until, as Luci puts it, “the texture pleases me.” Adjust seasonings, and toss into your favorite salad.Y Read more about Creamy and Luci on pacificsun.com.

Goodbye, farewell Mill Valley’s Chadwicks of London closes

By Flora Tsapovsky

Shannon Stallone Personal Biographer

he natural life of any city or town needs those places that we call ‘institutions’— places that have been around forever and helped build the town’s—and our own—identity and history. Sometimes, those institutions close down, which can be bittersweet; bitter, because we’re going to miss them. Sweet, because, deep down, we also know that closing times provide a proof of evolution and change, along with the opportunity to say, “Hey, remember when that place was still around … ?”

Chadwicks of London, the 28-year-old lingerie store in Mill Valley, is such an institution, now closing its doors after being anyone and everyone’s go-to for lacy indulgences. Michael and Shelley Chadwick, a pair of Londoners, grew up together but found a partner in each other after meeting again in their 30s. Both English teachers, they decided to embark on an adventure, and settled in the

Capturing your stories and memories

Bay Area. The Chadwicks will still own their second location in San Anselmo, but soon it will be the only one.

“One night we came to Mill Valley to see a movie,” Michael says of the 1988 decision. “We had never been to the town before. I suggested to Shelly that we could open a shop here and so we looked in the paper the following days to see what might be possible, and by some miracle we found a sublet and managed to open our little lingerie boutique two months later.”

Business bloomed, and by 1999 the Chadwicks had four stores all over the Bay Area. “Mill Valley has always been a special place for us,” Michael laments. “It’s where our journey into business began, so it’s with a heavy heart that we are saying goodbye to the town.”

Why close down? The reasons, ironically, are a mix of post-recession economy dips and tech-related spikes that affect the North Bay all the way from San Francisco.

“Since the recession, many middle-income women buy less,” Michael says. “It’s much harder to get good reliable staff at the wages we can afford to pay, and in a lingerie store the salespeople need to be very, very good.” Besides, he adds, “Certainly, Mill Valley is in transition. The traffic in and out of the town has become much more congested; to be in retail is more difficult in the town. The overall cost of being in business has risen much more than our profits.”

The prospering online shopping market is another reason for the shuttering of the Mill Valley location. “The internet has affected our sales, particularly at Christmas and Valentine’s Day,” Michael admits. And, after all, there’s one more reason: “We are 67 years old and have less energy for multiple shops,” Michael says.

We’ll miss Chadwicks, but we totally understand.Y

Thursday, June 16 marks the 200th anniversary of the night in 1816 when Mary Shelley had a nightmare that inspired her to write a story that would later be published as ‘Frankenstein.’

TALKING PICTURES

Monster talk Publisher Ross Lockhart on 200 years of Frankenstein

By David Templeton

“I

’ve seen every one of the Universal Frankenstein movies,” declares lifelong horror fan Ross Lockhart, publisher and editor-in-chief of the North Bay’s award-winning book publishing company, Word Horde.

“And I’ve seen most of the Hammer Pictures Frankenstein movies. But I’ve deliberately skipped things like that recent one, the thing with Harry Potter as Igor.”

“That would be Victor Frankenstein, with Daniel Radcliffe,” I clarify, naming the horrendous abomination to which Lockhart is referring.

“Yes, that one,” he says. “That one seemed a bit messy—and not in a good way.”

Lockhart, who founded Word Horde in 2013 after years of working in the publishing business as an editor, rates himself as a big fan of Frankenstein. He also appreciates ghosts, demons, aliens, Cthulhu, giant spiders and most

other things that bump and slither in the night. That enthusiasm is the reason for Word Horde.

In a remarkably short time, Lockhart has built his horrorfriendly label into a thriving little company devoted to cutting-edge science fiction, horror and dark fantasy. The label’s first title was Tales of Jack the Ripper, in 2013, followed by Cthulhu Fhtagn!, an anthology of stories inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. Last year’s Mr. Suicide, a crafty shocker by Nicole Cushing, was just presented with the Bram Stoker Award for superior achievement in a first novel, and Word Horde’s upcoming The Fisherman—a deeply creepy aquatic horror tale by John Langan—is already garnering solid advance buzz, and has been described by novelist Laird Barron as “A River Runs Through It” … straight to Hell.”

And more to the point, this October 9, Word Horde will be releasing one of its most ambitious

anthologies yet: Eternal Frankenstein, featuring 14 tales inspired by Mary Shelley’s groundbreaking novel. OK. This is where, in the interest of full disclosure, I reveal that one of those 14 stories will be my own romantichorror novella, Mary Shelley’s Body.

As for the rest of the authors, they include some of the fastest rising voices in modern-day horror fiction.

While working on the project over the last two years or so, Lockhart and I have frequently discussed the enduring power of the Frankenstein story, and its many theatrical and cinematic adaptations. It is a fact, we both agree, that there is never a bad time to watch a Frankenstein movie.

One could add, however, that there has never been a better time for a Frankenstein fix than right now, this very week, given that Thursday, June 16 marks the 200th anniversary of the night in 1816 when Mary Shelley—then still Mary Godwin, an unmarried teenage mother and illicit lover of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley—had a terrifying dream. That nightmare inspired her, at the age of 19, to write a story that would, in 1818, be published as Frankenstein.

It is in celebration of this storied date in literary history, that Lockhart and I have sat down to talk about our favorite Frankenstein films of all time. Lockhart, I am already aware, prefers the really old ones.

“Black-and-white just does it for me,” he admits. “Growing up on those Boris Karloff films, by James Whale—not to mention the silly ones that came along later with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and that kind of thing—I just came to love Universal’s black-and-white horror films. Those, to me, are perfection.

“But the Hammer Pictures movies, of the ’50s and ’60s, they do have their appeal,” he adds, referring to such classics as The Curse of Frankenstein, with Peter Cushing as Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the Creature. Unlike the earlier Universal films, the Hammer productions made gloriously gory use of full color.

“There is no red quite as red as the color of blood in a Hammer film,” Lockhart says with a grin.

He even appreciates the muchderided Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, featuring Robert DeNiro as the Creature and Kenneth Branagh, who also directed, as Victor Frankenstein.

“I truly think that one was pretty good,” Lockhart says. “At least it was was trying to be faithful to the source material, to a degree, anyway. Yes, it took liberties. But

with any cinematic adaptation of Frankenstein, you have to, because otherwise you run into the problem that, as it’s written, Frankenstein is essentially un-filmable.”

“Why is that? Is it because nobody wants a Frankenstein where the creature can actually have a conversation?” I ask. “In the book, he’s more eloquent and athletic than anyone else he encounters. He leaps over icy crevices in a single bound.

He even speaks in ‘thees’ and ‘thous.’”

“Exactly. It’s hard to make that work on screen,” he says. “Mary Shelley’s story has definitely got its showpieces, big moments that are perfect for a movie. But so much of the rest is just Victor Frankenstein and his creation arguing philosophy. That’s not too likely to put butts in seats.”

The many filmic Frankenstein adaptations, however far they might deviate from the original, have themselves become the stuff that inspires others. He confirmed this while editing the upcoming Eternal Frankenstein anthology.

“A few of the stories in the anthology deal directly with the cinematic adaptations,” he reveals. “Anya Martin’s story, The Un-Bride, or No Gods and Marxists, and Nathan Carson’s Wither on the Vine, or Strickfadden’s Monster, both interact directly with the James Whale movies. Orrin Grey’s Baron von Werewolf Presents: Frankenstein Against the Phantom Planet imagines a young boy watching a late-night horror show and getting his own glimpse of Frankenstein.

“That relationship between literary horror and cinematic horror,” he notes, “it’s always there. One inspires the other. The snake devours its own tail. Any good anthology is like that old parable of the blind men and the elephant, where they’re all trying to describe the same animal, but every description gives a different picture.

The big picture that forms from all of those little pictures—that’s where the magic happens.”

“What do you supposed Mary Shelley would think,” I ask, “about all this cinematic mayhem she started exactly two centuries ago?”

“I think she would be amazed,” he says, adding, “Of course, she’d probably want royalties. But I hope she’d appreciate it. To create something that, 200 years later, people are still talking about, something that still has the power to astound and frighten and amaze and inspire—and most of all, to make you think—that’s quite an accomplishment.”Y

THEATER

Skillful suspense ‘The Invisible Hand’ a gripping drama

By Charles Brousse

M

arin Theatre Company’s production of The Invisible Hand isn’t what the title of Ayad Akhtar’s latest play to make it to the Bay Area might lead you to believe it is. Sound like a murder mystery? It isn’t. Maybe a theatrical adaptation of a Stephen King novel or Edgar Allan Poe short story? No. The reference is to the famous metaphor used by 18th century Scottish philosopher Adam Smith to describe his belief (simply stated) that individuals, each acting to further his or her own best interests, can together increase the welfare of the entire group—a concept that later became the bedrock of today’s free market capitalism—

locally, nationally and even globally.

It doesn’t require government intervention or oversight. It just happens. Magically.

That’s Econ 101, according to University of Chicago theorist Milton Friedman and his merry band of free marketers. It’s also part of an economic history lesson that occupies significant sections of Akhtar’s two-hour drama. Related subjects include detailed lessons in how the stock market works: Puts, calls, leveraging, credit default swaps and all those other wonderful machinations that hedge funds regularly engage in to profit their investors. All of this sounds fairly academic, and indeed it is, except that the classroom is a dismal,

cell-like room somewhere deep in Pakistan and the instructor is a representative of Citibank who has been kidnapped and is now being held for ransom. His “students” are a band of dissident Pakistanis who (as they frequently threaten) are quite prepared to execute him if their monetary demands aren’t met.

The immediate problem faced by young Nick Bright (convincingly portrayed by Craig Marker), is that neither Washington nor his employers are willing to pay for his release, a policy based on the assumption that doing so would enable terrorists and encourage further kidnappings. Desperate to save his life and return to his wife and children, he offers them the

Actors in Marin Theatre Company’s ‘The Invisible Hand’ discuss religion and economics.

$2 million he has stashed away in an unlisted Cayman Islands bank account. They counter with a demand for $20 million, then settle for $10 million, but even that sum is impossible for him to raise overnight. (At this point, I began wondering what Donald Trump, the self-styled champion deal-maker, would have done.) What Nick does is to close the deal, provided he can have access to a computer and a year to make it happen. Grudgingly, they agree, with the stipulation that they control the computer and his efforts result in a timely progress.

From then on, it’s a bit like Scheherazade in A Thousand and One Nights engaging the heartless Sultan with gripping stories in exchange for another day of life.

Using his knowledge of how big traders operate, Nick plays the market and quickly begins to chip away at the agreed amount, sharing information about each move with Bashir (Pomme Koch), the moody, unpredictable Pakistani who has been assigned to guard and work with him. While Bashir also can be pragmatic, his superior, Imam Saleem (Barzin Akhavan) is a far more difficult adversary. He sees the West, particularly the U.S., as having interfered in his country’s economic and political life to a degree that no amount of money will overcome. Nick’s response to both is to engage them in lengthy and ultimately unproductive debate over America’s role in the world after the Bretton Woods conference established the dollar as the international exchange unit, and linked it with the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

As is probably evident in this description, the didactic and dramatic sides of Akhtar’s play often overlap. Jasson Minadakis, MTC’s director, assisted by Chris Houston’s ominous sound wrap, wisely focuses on the threat of a violent ending, creating a level of suspense that, when combined with the ensemble’s skill, is just enough to keep the play from bogging down in econometric details. Akhtar, already a Pulitzer Prize winner (for Disgraced, 2013), is a talented writer and I, for one, eagerly look forward to his future work.Y

In ‘Finding Dory,’ a blue tang fish reunites with her loved ones.

s its opening act, Finding Dory has a small, perfect Pixar short called Piper about a baby sandpiper

coping with incoming tide … so it inevitably looks sprawling in comparison. Otherwise, it’s a better film than its predecessor, with more narrative sophistication. It’s an aquatic Memento, as the memory-challenged blue tang Dory (Ellen DeGeneres does the addled fish’s voice) retrieves forgotten images of her childhood. She seeks her long-lost parents off the coast of Morro Bay with an ever-worried Nemo and Marlon (voiced by Albert Brooks) in pursuit. Brooks’ job is to give the movie some salt, and maybe his best line comes with his frustration at the dithering Dory in a tank full of identical fish, seeking her mom and dad: “She should just pick two!”

What makes Pixar great is the way it always casts shadows behind its polychrome colors, contrasting a child’s conflicted urges for safety and adventure. The reefs are a riot of tropically colored corals and anemones, but the ocean now is dirtier, lined with more scrap and wreckage, and Dory gets netted

in the plastic rings of a six-pack holder. In the contrast of Dory’s memory deficit and her difficulties as a young fish, one sees the plight of a generation, bracketed between children with learning disorders and their elders whose memories are slipping away. The poignancy should be even greater, but appealing as she is, DeGeneres is more like a trusted brand than an actress.

There are mercifully few fish puns in the script (the young Dory is called “kelpcake” and a character exclaims, “Holy carp!”), but new characters speed the tale up to a terrific action movie climax on the coast highway, with the aid of toocute otters and a deranged coot who carries the cast in a sky bucket full of water. Studies of the intelligence and ingenuity of octopi are born out in Finding Dory’s most dynamic character, an octopus named Hank (Ed O’Neill) who just wants to retreat from the ocean—“I have bad memories of that place”—to a nice safe aquarium in Cleveland. A master of disguise and escape, Hank may make octopus sushi too sad to eat, in the same way that Bambi made venison tragic.Y

Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be files and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective.

NOTICE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California.

WARNING IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption.

You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

Q:

By Amy Alkon

Goddess

I’m a single woman in my 40s. It’s been ages since I’ve seriously dated anyone. People tell me that I seem “closed off.” I don’t want to be, but I worry that I’ll get into another relationship that ends badly. I don’t want to die alone, but I just don’t think I can survive another heartbreak.—Terrified

A:

My dad loves quoting that FDR line, “The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.” Sorry, Pops, but that’s ridiculous. There are things to fear in life. A couple of examples that spring to mind: 1. A hug from the lady at work who just got back from vacationing in Ebola territory. 2. Being in immediate need of lifesaving surgery and waking up to your drunken neighbor operating on you with salad utensils and a steak knife.

However, it turns out that there’s a next part to that “fear itself ” line—explaining that the problematic kind of fear is “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” Perhaps that sounds familiar? And granted, when love packs its bags, leaving you with just a few empty hangers swinging in your closet where your man’s shirts used to be, it’s normal to come undone for a while—perhaps spending some time lying on the bathroom floor in an evening dress and breakfasting on Froot Loops a la vodka.

However, what’s also normal is recovering from heartbreak. Grief researcher George Bonanno explains that while therapists and self-help books portray grief after a loss as a paralyzing sadness that people are unable to survive without professional help, this isn’t how he finds it affects most of us. In fact, he says we are wired to be resilient—to pull ourselves out of our misery hole and get on with things.

What helps in this, Bonanno explains, is “hardiness.” Research by clinical psychologist Salvatore Maddi finds that hardiness involves three interrelated attitudes: A desire to engage with people and life (rather than detach and isolate yourself ), a belief in taking action to make things better (rather than sinking into “passivity and powerlessness”) and a willingness to face stressful stuff and use it as a learning experience—transforming personal disasters into personal growth.

Even if the behaviors that make up hardiness don’t come naturally to you, they’re there for the taking. So, yes, heartbreak will be painful, but hardiness is a shovel you can use to dig yourself out. What you don’t get to do is make the bratty demand, “I want love without hurt or disappointment!” You can fill up your life so it won’t be so empty if somebody leaves you and get comfy with the hard truth: Having love is no guarantee that you won’t “die alone”—choking on a chicken bone just as your beloved’s gone out the door all, “Wow, double coupon day at the Quik Sak! Be right back, loverbunny!”

Q:

There are two women who arouse mega-chemistry in me when we hug, talk, etc. Unfortunately, neither is available. Though I’m basically attracted to the woman I’m dating (meaning she’s the right height, weight, hair color, etc.), I don’t feel those highs with her. So, my question is, can I make a go of this relationship even though I lack the tingly zest I have with the taken ladies?—Missing The Whole Enchilada

A:

Can you “make a go” of this relationship? Of course you can! Before you know it, you’ll be booking one of those romantic weekend getaway packages to try to rekindle that magical indifference you felt at the start.

Unfortunately, you can’t work up to lusting after a woman, like by making your libido do pushups over her picture. We seem to have evolved to be subconsciously drawn to the smell of certain people—those who have immune system genes different from ours, with whom we’d make a baby with a broader set of defenses against icky parasites and disease. Men, in particular, evolved to be hot for features that reflect high fertility, like a small waist, big eyes and big pillowy lips. The right smell and physical features flick the “on” switch in what affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp calls your “seeking system,” sending you signals (in the form of “tingly zest”)—much like a sign spinner holding up a big arrow, “Your penis here!”

No, obviously, you can’t have it all, but you have to have enough of it all— enough of the hots for a woman, along with the hots for who she is as a human being. This isn’t to say there won’t be issues in bed, but you’re more likely to solve them if the licensed professional best suited to help you is not the corner taxidermist.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

For the week of June 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming

months will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean that you should push people around and get into lots of fights. Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty.

You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready, and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree, “Because I said so.” Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything

you do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow. It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck, and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion … to relax the tweaks … to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary. You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose. If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My long-term

predictions for the next 15 months are a blend of hopeful optimism and a reasonable interpretation of the astrological omens. Here we go: 1. You will have an excellent chance to smooth and soothe the rough spots in your romantic karma. 2. You will outgrow any addiction you might have to frustrating connections. 3. Unrequited love will either be requited, or else you’ll become bored with the futile chase and move on. 4. You’ll be challenged to either refresh and reinvent an existing intimacy, or else get shrewd enough not to repeat past mistakes in a new intimacy. 5. You will have an abundance of good ideas about how to install the theme of smart fun at the heart of your strongest alliances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Courttia Newland quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you go about finding that thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?”

In response to this riddle, Newland riffs on what it means to him: “Even more important than the journey itself, is the venture into the unknowable.

The ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite knowing where you are going.” I nominate these to be your words to live by in the coming days, Cancerian. Have open-hearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and impossible secrets! I’m confident that you will track them down—especially if you’re willing to be lost.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your homework is to

write a story about the life you’re going to live between now and next April. The length of this predictive tale should be at least three pages, although it’s fine if you produce more. Here are some meditations to lubricate the flow of your imagination. 1. What three questions would you love to have answered during the next 42 weeks?

2. Of the numerous adventures that might be fun to explore, which are the two that would be most consistently energizing? 3. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about your attitude or revamp about your life? 4. What new privilege will you have earned by April 2017?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to an

old Chinese proverb, if you want to get rich, you must have a nickname. My meditations on your future suggest that this curious formula may have some validity. The next 15 months will be a favorable time to attend to the groundwork that will ultimately increase your wealth. And your luck in doing this work is likely to be oddly good if you add a frisky tweak to your identity—such as a zesty new nickname, for example. I suggest you stay away from clichés like Ace or Vixen or Sharpie, as well as off-putting ironic monikers like Poker

By Rob Brezsny

Face and Stonewall. Instead, gravitate toward lively choices like Dazzler, FluxLuster, Hoochie-Coochie or FreeBorn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the next 15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years.

Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before.

I’m not talking about the grubby self-promotion that typically passes for ambition, however. Arrogant self-importance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch. I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish. Get started!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the next

15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor. If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts. The same is true if you have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life. Be ever alert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck and slop. Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings? I hope so. If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough. Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in questionable behavior. That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be the boss of yourself ? What practices can you engage in on a daily basis that will build your potency and authority and clout? How can you gain access to more of the helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourself every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to find or create your ultimate power spot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The prison population in the U.S. is over two million, more than twice what it was in 1990. In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people in jail, Italy 52,000, and France 66,000. That’s the bad news. The good news, at least for you and your tribe, is that a relatively small percentage of you will be incarcerated during the next 15 months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aquarians all over the world will specialize in liberation. Not only will you be extra ethical; not only will you be skillful at evading traps; you will also be adept at emancipating yourself from your own delusions and limitations. Congratulations in advance! It’s time to start singing some new freedom songs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English

word “catharsis” is derived from the ancient Greek katharsis, which was a technical medical term that meant “purgation” or “purification,” as in flushing out the bowels. Aristotle converted katharsis into a metaphor that described how a drama performed in the theater could “clean out” the emotions of spectators. These days, catharsis may refer to any event that precipitates a psycho-spiritual renewal by building up and then releasing tension. I foresee at least one of these strenuous blessings in your immediate future.Y
