Rhapsodies Butting out In support of local smoking bans

BY NINA TEPEDINO

T

he list of toxic substances in the air around us can be daunting to consider, but one of the most important yet preventable of them all is secondhand smoke, which is a lethal, unseen, almost phantom-like toxin that permeates the air in which we live and breathe. A recent joint study from British and Chinese researchers published in the January 2013 issue of the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine strongly links secondhand smoke with both severe and mild dementia, damaging parts of the brain responsible for reason. My sense of reason tells me that our acute sense of smell and our capacity for compassion has become immune to the dangers and that we cannot escape the “silent spring” that infringes on our lives during every season of the year.

Secondhand smoke from cigarettes is still allowed to continue in many cities and towns here in Sonoma County. Fortunately, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Sebastopol and the county do have smoking bans in place for multi-unit housing and bus stops, but we need to urge the City Council of Santa Rosa and other cities to enforce smoking bans in multi-unit housing, bus stops and other public areas.

Without such enforcement, elders, children and medically sensitive residents are subjected to the hazards of secondhand smoke on a daily basis.

During the last couple of years, I have devoted volunteer time with the Northern California Center for Well Being, where I have joined their expert and passionate advocacy staff for workshops, presentations to the City Council of Santa Rosa and have unofficially designated myself as a representative for my fellow elders who suffer the effects and health hazards from secondhand smoke every day and every night.

My heart tells me it is right to want change, and that it is right to not be quiet or to not give up. I keep waiting for my city of Santa Rosa to listen.

Nina Tepedino lives in downtown Santa Rosa.

Stop the Pipeline

I Like the Ads

I am asking for help to stop the Keystone-XL pipeline.

For me, it is a moral obligation I have to my children and to future generations.

The pipeline will enable a substantial escalation of the development and burning of the Alberta Tar Sands, one of our dirtiest carbon polluting energy sources.

I agree with Mr. Rick Call in his response to the comment made by a reader about doing away with capitalism (Letters, April 3). If it weren’t for the privately owned businesses in this community, spending their hard-earned dollars in hopes of attracting new customers, the Bohemian could not exist as the advertisement vehicle it is. I always enjoy the advertisements of local businesses in the Bohemian, and that’s why I look at it. However, I usually don’t agree with many of the ideas expressed in the articles and cartoons.

Climate change is real and dangerous. It is now understood that Earth’s massive ecosystem can be affected by human activities. Our centuries-old habit of burning fossil fuels has affected the planet’s atmosphere in a harmful way.

Continuing to develop and burn our known fossil-fuel reserves will create catastrophic climate chaos with deadly consequences for our planet. Instead, we should direct our efforts to more rapidly deploying clean, renewable energy sources. It is possible. Germany’s “Energiewende” made a strong commitment to do this 12 years ago, and they have made great progress. I believe we can, too.

Please write the president and ask him to stop the Keystone-XL, pipeline, and go to 350.org to become active and learn more.

Kudos for Angelo Wonderful article on Angelo Chambrone (“Fresh Blood,” March 27)! I’ve known this kid (man? Ha-ha) since he was 11.

I worked with him and his parents at Sweet Lou’s, and all I can say is that his passion for food ran as deep as it does now. I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying his amazing menu at Barolo. They definitely scored with him in the kitchen.

Congrats, Angelo!

The End of War “The war that will end all wars.” Yes, this is what we were told in middle school during the ’40s—that, yes indeed, World War I was the last war for the world.

Maybe it was because of the mustard gas that did its evil thing before the gas masks could be made en masse. Maybe the slaughter of teenaged men and those in their early 20s was so terrible, twisted bodies lying in the mud or light snow. Maybe this was sobering.

What about now?

World War I didn’t end war. World War II followed, Korea came and went, and now, what of this in our immediate here and now? No one knows what Korea will do next.

The premier war to protest, Vietnam, came and went, and the lesson of war’s negative effects was not yet a hit at home. The early ’80s saw a lot of war in Latin America and elsewhere. And of course the wars in the Middle East.

What will it take to end war?

And so World War I did not end war. We can only hope that if World War III ever comes, it will end the idea that might makes right in order to survive. Here’s hoping.

THIS MODERN WORLD

No More Meat The new link between meat consumption and heart disease, discovered by Dr. Stanley Hazen of the Cleveland Clinic, is just the latest evidence linking meat consumption to killer diseases that cripple, then kill, 1.3 million Americans annually.

We have sacrificed the lives of 10,000 American personnel and trillions of dollars in waging two wars to avenge the deaths of 2,600 Americans in the 9-11 attacks. When will we wage a bloodless, low-cost war on the killer meat-based diet, potentially responsible for as many as 1.3 million American deaths annually?

A BROKEN HEART Houston Herczog’s mother, Marilyn, holds a photo of Mark and Houston Herczog at Houston’s 2009 graduation.

Crying for Mercy The family of Mark Herczog, a father killed by his son, pleads for compassion as a court trial looms BY RACHEL DOVEY

I

n November of 2011, Mark Herczog wrote a short, desperate note on his calendar for the week of the 21st. It was about his son.

“It said, ‘Get help for Houston,’” his sister Annette Keys recalls.

It had been an increasingly difficult year for the Herczog

family, during which 21-year-old Houston seemed to have been replaced by a different person.

He had always been shy, but according to his aunt, he now shunned social interaction, waiting until after 11pm to go to the gym so he could work out alone. He stole his mom’s Adderall. He said strange things with an empty, vacant gaze that

his family now refers to as “the look.” In early November, when he crashed his dad’s green Caravan and smashed his head into the windshield, he didn’t check to make sure his passengers were OK. Instead, his aunt, who was in the vehicle at the time, says he asked her about the sandwich he’d placed between them, in the center console of the car.

Houston’s family knew something was very wrong, but they didn’t know what it was.

They didn’t know that three psychiatrists would eventually diagnose him with schizophrenia.

They didn’t know that two of them would be appointed by Sonoma County Superior Court.

Around 1am on Nov. 21, Houston Herczog stabbed his father in the kitchen of his Rincon Valley home, using at least four knives to gash and puncture his body 60 times. He tried to cut off his head. He would later tell a court-appointed psychiatrist that he’d thought he was performing an exorcism with a cardboard version of his dad. When police arrived, he told them flatly, “I killed him.”

Mark was declared dead at 2:52am by Memorial Hospital, his face so tattered that, according to the coroner’s report, his right ear was barely attached.

He was never able to help his son.

Houston’s defense has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, a verdict that would likely allow him to be sent to a maximum-security facility for the criminally insane, such as Napa State Hospital.

Three psychiatrists have backed up this claim. On the eve of Houston’s juried trial, however, the district attorney called for a rarely requested additional opinion, which contradicts the others’ assertions of insanity.

Herczog faces a possible murder charge that could land him in prison, where his family worries he won’t have access to the treatment they believe he needs.

Tragically, the Herczog family has landed in the criminal justice system partly because of their initial reluctance to use it. In 2007, Sonoma County police shot and killed 16-year-old Jeremiah Chass and 30-year-old Richard Desantis during psychotic episodes. Mark Herczog’s daughter, sister and exwife all say Mark refused to call police despite signs of Houston’s escalating violence for fear that officers would shoot his son.

As a judge prepares to sentence Houston in a Sonoma County courtroom, Mark’s surviving family is not crying for blood.

‘He had that look in his eye, and he said, “I feel really violent.”’

‘I’m Scared’ Cameron McDowell, Mark’s oldest daughter, remembers a chilling moment of foresight soon before her dad was killed. At her home in North Carolina, she’d just gotten off the phone with her aunt, who’d described the vacant look that would slip over her half-brother sometimes, saying it almost seemed like he left his body and someone else came in and took his place.

“I told my husband, ‘I’m scared Houston is that kid who’s going to walk into a supermarket and open fire,’” she recalls.

This was in mid-November, but she’d suspected something was off for roughly a year and a half.

The brother that she describes as shy, creative and gentle as a child had become quieter and more distant. He’d quit his band and instead spent hours playing guitar alone. McDowell’s dad once told her jokingly on the phone that her brother was such a loner, he wished Houston go out drinking if it meant he’d be with friends. On her son’s third birthday, McDowell received a card from the family that Houston had signed, “I hope you have a shitty birthday.”

McDowell wasn’t alone in her concern. Her aunt, Annette Keys, noticed him changing in 2010, after he graduated from Santa Rosa High School’s ArtQuest program and began taking

classes at SRJC. He read Kant and Nietzsche obsessively. He would begin a movie with the family and then get up 30 minutes later to go sit by himself at the computer without explaining why.

Keys lives in Ohio, but she came to Santa Rosa to visit her brother Mark in early November, when she was in the car accident with Houston. On Nov. 11, the day before she flew back to Ohio, she asked Houston about the change she noticed in him.

“I said, ‘Honey, I feel like something happened to you. Did something happen that you’re not telling us about?’ And he gave me this sideways glance and said, ‘Maybe I’ll tell you about it sometime.’ It was the creepiest thing.”

In March of 2011, Houston’s mother and Mark’s ex-wife Marilyn Meschalk-Herczog began taking her son to see a private psychiatrist, Dr. Dennis Glick. Like other family members, Marilyn was increasingly concerned about her son. He was argumentative. He couldn’t keep a job. He would act out in bizarre ways, like refusing to follow his employers’ dress code.

The three psychiatrists who assessed Houston in jail reviewed Glick’s notes, which suggest several possible diagnoses for the then-20-year-old Houston—major depression, developmental issues and schizoaffective disorder.

According to Dr. Alan Abrams’ review of Glick’s notes, the initial psychiatrist did not recognize that Houston was suffering symptoms of schizophrenia, despite his early note on schizoaffective disorder, and focused instead on his depression, prescribing him an antidepressant.

Glick also noted Houston’s substance-abuse history, which he writes included Adderall that Houston stole from his mom, along with alcohol, LSD, marijuana and other prescription medications. In his interview with Dr. Abrams, Houston said that he only took LSD once, in the ninth grade, and in his interview with Dr. Donald Apostle, he said he smoked pot in high school but stopped in the summer of 2009 because it made him feel

psychotic. According to the review of Glick’s notes, Houston stopped taking Adderall—after being prescribed an antidepressant— until June, with sporadic use through September.

Because Houston continued to steal his mother’s Adderall, Marilyn eventually told him he needed to leave her Forestville home and live with his dad. But on Nov. 19, she says, two days before he killed Mark, Houston came back to her house.

“He had that look in his eye, and he said, ‘I feel really violent,’” she recalls. “I said, ‘Are you afraid you’re going to hurt me?’”

Marilyn says that she followed Houston through her home, out to the attached garage. As she descended the steps leading into the garage, her son grabbed her by the arm and threw her. Then he locked her in, asking her through the door if she was afraid of him.

“I said, ‘No. You’re my child.

I love you and I trust you, and I don’t think you’re going to hurt me,” she recalls, crying.

“I had told him, ‘If you’re feeling violent, go out and run. Run around. It’s dark out and nobody will see you. Just run as fast as you can. Go up the hill. Just run.’”

He unlocked the door and ran outside the house. In an interview with Dr. Abrams recounting the same night, Marilyn says that when checked her purse, more Adderall was gone.

‘Don’t Call the Police’ After he threw her across the garage that night, Marilyn says that she called her therapist, who told her to call the police.

In California, officers can take mentally ill people who are a danger to themselves or others into temporary custody in what’s known as a 5150, or involuntary psychiatric hold.

She called her ex-husband and told him what her therapist had said. “He said, ‘No, no, please don’t call the police,’” she recalls. “I said, ‘Why not?’ And he said, ‘They shoot those kids. Please don’t call them. That’s my son.’”

Radio Days KSRO 1350AM and its radio-dial siblings (97.7 the River, Hot 101.7, Froggy 92.9 and Mix 104.9) have been sold to local owners

by Connecticut-based parent company Maverick Media. The assemblage of new investors is led by former KSRO owner and Sonoma County resident Lawrence Amaturo.

The sale was announced to employees on Monday, says KSRO news producer Tony Landucci.

“I’m definitely optimistic with the ownership being local,” he says.

“I’m excited to see how it will be different having local ownership rather than someone on the other side of country.”

Amaturo, who is a co-owner of Nissan and Kia of Santa Rosa, sold KSRO and three other stations in 2000 for $30 million, reportedly paying $4.5 million for the radio properties in this deal.

Maverick Media was not exactly popular with local listeners. When afternoon host Steve Jaxon of The Drive was cut in 2010, listeners protested and he was back on the air within weeks. In 2011, the company killed popular hard-rock station 101.7 the Fox and replaced it with a Top 40 format, prompting a protest outside the station. And when the Good Food Hour with John Ash was axed from KSRO last year, the response was a mix of anger and confusion.

“Everybody’s very happy, because no one liked being owned by a company in Connecticut that didn’t know anything about Sonoma County,” says Jaxon of the sale. On Amaturo’s ownership, Jaxon has nothing but enthusiasm.

“I was there in 1996 when he bought the stations,” he says. “He was new to the market then, but now he’s been here 25 years, and he knows the market inside out. It’s gonna be a great day for radio.”—Nicolas Grizzle

daughter report similar conversations. Both say that when the idea of a 5150 was brought up, Mark insisted that the family refrain from calling the police.

McDowell says that in October, her dad told her he’d looked into an involuntary psychiatric hold.

“He said that there had been some cases where parents had done a 5150, and the police have shot and killed their kids,” she says.

In Sonoma County, two mentally ill individuals died after their families made distress calls to local law enforcement. During a 2007 psychotic break in which he sat on his little brother clutching a two-inch Leatherman knife, 16-year-old Sebastopol resident Jeremiah Chass was shot 11 times by the sheriff’s deputies who answered his mother’s distress call. He died in their driveway.

A month later, bipolar 30-yearold Richard Desantis was also shot as he ran out of his house toward the sergeant and two Santa Rosa officers who responded to his wife’s call. According to the Desantis family’s attorney, he was unarmed when he was shot. He also died in front of his home.

Not long afterward in January 2008, 24-year-old Jesse Hamilton, suffering from schizophrenia and holding a butcher knife, was shot and killed by a Santa Rosa police officer after a staffer at his group home called 911.

While few national statistics on the subject exist, the nonprofit Treatment Advocacy Center reports that police kill mentally ill people in so-called justifiable homicides four times as often as they kill people who are not mentally ill.

According to McDowell, her father told her in October that he was too unsure about what Houston might do if he called the police, and that he didn’t want to lose his son.

Walls of Blood Several hours before Mark died, Marilyn says that her youngest daughter, 17-year-old Savannah Herczog, called to warn her that

CAUTIOUSLY PROTECTIVE Mark Herczog knew about instances of police shooting and killing those with mental illness,

and resisted calling the police during Houston’s episodes for fear of what they might do to his son.

the strange, vacant look was coming over Houston again. She recalls thinking that he might come over to her house, safe in the knowledge that she had changed the locks.

The next phone call Marilyn received was after midnight. It was her daughter again, saying that Houston had stabbed their father.

Marilyn says she raced to Rincon Valley, still unaware of the magnitude of the crime. She remembers thinking the attack had probably resulted in some kind of minor injury, like scissor wounds in her ex-husband’s arm.

But as she approached Mark’s Parkhurst Drive home, she saw police cars and paramedics surrounding the yellow house with brown trim. She says that her daughter ran into her arms, crying.

She told her that Mark had been taken away, and that he hadn’t been moving at all.

The two women were taken into police custody for questioning.

Several hours later, still in custody, they learned that Mark was dead.

After she was let out of police custody, Marilyn says that she went back to the house and went inside. The kitchen walls were covered in blood. She saw a denim jacket sitting on the back of a chair

that was also covered in splatters of blood. She picked it up and put it on.

According to Mark Herczog’s autopsy report, a chop wound on his scalp exposed his skull. His left eyelid was punctured. Most of his right ear dangled from his face.

Ten horizontal, overlapping stab wounds surrounded his neck just above his thyroid, where Houston tried to remove his head. His entire body down to the soles of his feet was covered in blood.

McDowell says the condition of Mark’s remains meant she wasn’t able to say goodbye to her father’s body; although she flew to Santa Rosa from North Carolina, she had to say goodbye to his hand.

She remembers entering the funeral home, where her dad had been laid out in a body bag with one scratched-up hand poking out. A flesh-colored blanket had been draped over the body bag.

She remembers thinking that it looked oddly like a Muppet, and that because her dad had a twisted sense of humor, she felt like he was with her as she had this thought.

‘Oh, dear. Oh, God.’ Three psychiatrists have diagnosed Houston Herczog with paranoid schizophrenia, arguing

that he killed his father in the midst of a psychotic break.

As Dr. Robbin Broadman writes: “There is no non-psychotic motive that I can see for the violence that occurred. He and his father may have had a disagreement, but the extent of violence goes beyond what one would expect from a stabbing in anger. There were 60 stab wounds.”

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) defines schizophrenia as a chronic brain disorder that afflicts roughly 1 percent of the American population. It stems from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and is often characterized by paranoia, hallucinations and a lack of interest in socialization. It typically exhibits between the ages of 16 and 30. Although NIMH cautions that most people with schizophrenia are not violent, certain tendencies, like delusions of persecution, can lead to violence.

“If a person with schizophrenia becomes violent, the violence is usually directed at family members and tends to take place at home,” NIMH’s website states.

Considering the match-up between Houston’s behaviors the year before he killed Mark and

three psychiatrists, based on her contact with Houston beginning in December of 2011, soon after he was jailed. She asked that the Bohemian clarify that she was simply speaking from her own experience and not as an official spokesperson for NAMI. Coleman recalls that Houston’s symptoms in prison were indicative of paranoid schizophrenia. She describes him as shy, depressed and traumatized, and speaking in disjointed sentences.

“I really believe, from my gut, from my background, from my experience, from my expertise, that Houston is mentally ill,” she says. “I believe that he does not belong in a prison. He really needs help and belongs in a hospital where he can get help with his mental illness.”

‘Evil was frantic, squeezing my mind. I had to stop it. It wasn’t my dad.’

Trial Awaits Despite the opinions of three psychiatrists, an insanity defense can be a tough sell. A 1991 study commissioned by the National Institute of Mental Health and published by the Bulletin of the American Academy of Psychiatry found that less than 1 percent of county court cases involved the insanity defense, and, of those, only around one in four was successful. The nation’s jail cells now contain up to 400,000 mentally ill, according to NAMI, which estimates the cost of housing nearly half a million mentally ill to be $9 billion a year.

In California, defendants cannot

have committed their crime under the influence of drugs or alcohol when pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, a detail that is being debated in the Herczog case.

In his blood sample at the time of arrest, Houston tested positive for amphetamine and dextromethorphan, two common ingredients in cough syrup. He also reported that he’d continued to take Adderall.

Shortly before press time, the deputy district attorney prosecuting the Herczog case, Robert Waner, received a fourth doctor’s report from Dr. James Misset. While district attorney spokesperson Terry Menshek declined to discuss the document with the Bohemian, the Press Democrat’s Paul Payne reports that Misset’s evaluation concludes that Houston was acting under a drug-induced psychosis and not a mental illness.

The two court-appointed reports do discuss Houston’s drug use when he killed Mark.

“He did use Adderall, but his drug level was insignificant, and the duration of his psychosis both preceded and continued after his relative cessation of Adderall use,” Dr. Apostle writes.

Dr. Broadman writes that although Houston’s drug use may have exacerbated his psychotic symptoms, “it is clear that he was having hallucinations and delusions before the drug use began. His symptoms were chronic and escalated over a period of time, beginning in his late teens. This is the course of schizophrenic illness.”

The district attorney’s office declined comment for this story, citing the open case. Silver, Houston’s defense lawyer, says that she’s never seen a district attorney deviate from California’s standard practice of calling in two court-appointed physicians and seeking the additional evaluation of a third.

“I question whether he [Waner] believes in the insanity defense,” she says. “Some people don’t, even though it’s law.”

Ironically, the greatest doubt in the three doctors’ reports prior to Dr. Misset’s arises over

whether Herczog’s symptoms are actually too perfect—in other words, whether he could be faking schizophrenia.

Dr. Broadman examined this most critically, quoting a jail psychiatrist who believed Houston might exaggerate and amplify his symptoms.

“He speaks in sophisticated language and seems to be logical much of the time,” she writes. “In my opinion, [he] has schizophrenia and experiences genuine delusions and hallucinations. However, he is intelligent and understands the hospital will offer him a better chance of treatment and relative comfort compared with prison. This would be a motive to exaggerate his symptoms. Even if he is exaggerating his symptoms, that does not mean he was not psychotic at the time of the offense. I believe he was.”

In the middle of her evaluation of Houston, hearing his explanation of why he’d killed his father, Broadman asked him if he felt an insanity plea was to his advantage.

According to her report, Houston’s reply was simple and brief: “I’m fucked either way.”

‘Not Crying for Blood’ Rallying behind Houston, the Herczog family feels misrepresented by a legal system acting on behalf of Mark. In a court case surrounding a brutal killing like Mark’s, his family might normally be the loudest voices demanding justice for the loved one.

“But we’re not crying for blood,” says Keys. “We’re crying for mercy.”

Mark’s sister adds that she believes if her brother had survived his attack, he wouldn’t have pressed charges. Her portrait of him is of a man lost, desperate— unsure what to do as he watched his son change. As he wrote on his calendar in November two years ago, he knew his son needed something. He just didn’t know what.

“All he wanted was to help his kid,” she says.

his ongoing paranoid delusions in prison—of everything from TVs speaking directly to him to the prison being a concentration camp—Dr. Abrams writes in a report dated Nov. 1, 2012: “With a very high degree of medical certainty, I believe that Mr. Herczog was insane at the time of the killing.”

Dr. Abrams was retained

by Houston’s defense, public defender Karen Silver, and the two psychiatrists brought in by the impartial court agreed.

Dr. Donald Apostle and Dr. Broadman examined Houston in reports dated Dec. 3, 2012, and Feb. 18, 2013, and both concluded that a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict is applicable. Along with Houston’s behavioral patterns and the sudden and gruesome nature of his crime, the psychiatrists also interviewed him about what he believed was happening while he was stabbing his dad. The two accounts match up: he thought his father was trying to speak metaphorically to him about incest. He says he thought his dad was speaking symbolically and “in code.”

“Evil was frantic, squeezing my mind. I had to stop it. It wasn’t my dad,” he told Dr. Broadman.

Houston told Dr. Apostle that was when he grabbed a knife and began stabbing his father, who seemed to him to be plastic and unreal.

Both psychiatrists note that Houston was shaking while he talked. Dr. Apostle writes that after recounting the stabbing, he stopped, sighed and said, “Oh, dear. Oh, God.” Silver declined the Bohemian’s request to interview Houston in jail. At a court appearance on March 29, he stared at the ground, his shoulders hunched, and rocked slowly back and forth. His hair was short and unkempt and he wore glasses that he kept pushing up as they slid down his nose. He was unrecognizable from the thin, smiling boy with high cheekbones and wavy, blonde hair who hugged his smiling dad in graduation photos from 2010.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness’ (NAMI) jail liaison Carol Coleman agrees with the

SMALLTOWN, U.S.A. Pick’s, now owned by Claudio Clow, above, has scarcely changed since it opened in 1923.

Meet Me at Pick’s After 90 years, Pick’s Drive-In is still the heart of Cloverdale BY JESSICA DUR TAYLOR

I

n 1984, Claudio Clow went to Pick’s Drive-In, biking there with her teenage son, Todd, who had his eye on one of the cute counter girls.

Though she’d lived in Cloverdale for several years, the Boonville native hadn’t yet visited the iconic burger

joint. As she and Todd enjoyed their milkshakes, Clow had no idea that in six years she’d become the next in a line of longtime owners wanting to keep Pick’s alive.

Apparently, she’s not alone. “I keep a file folder of people who want to buy it,” Clow tells me on a recent afternoon, as we sit at a picnic table in the spring

sunshine. It’s easy to see why. At 3pm on a Monday, not exactly peak eating time, a steady stream of customers come and go, lingering over ice cream cones and baskets of onion rings at the outdoor bar.

Relics from long ago accent the classic scene at Pick’s, now in its 90th year, like the coin-only cash register, built in 1917, and the original (though now defunct and

no longer up to code) root beer mixer. Thin footrails run beneath the half of the bar without stools.

There’s even a sign advertising a frosty mug of 5 cent root beer, which Clow has amended with black ink that reads “Sold out as of 1928.”

“I was tired of people asking for it,” Clow says, laughing. “It just wasn’t funny anymore.”

Opened in 1923 as a “refreshery,” the small white and green roadside stand served up the popular (and legal) Reed & Bell root beer during Prohibition. In 1950, Mayo and Johnnie Pickard, who had run the cafe at Santa Rosa’s Greyhound bus station, bought the place and renamed it Pick’s. After Reed & Bell went out of business, the Pickards painted over the original round orange and black sign, which hung outside until five years ago. “I never thought much about it,” Clow tells me, “until one of my delivery guys who collects old signs took it home, removed all the layers of green paint and brought it back to me.” (The restored sign now hangs behind the counter beneath the littlechanged menu).

The fourth owner in the drivein’s 90-year history, Clow bought the property from Bernie and Barbara Day in 1990. At the time, she was working “lots of swings and graves” as a police dispatcher for the Cloverdale Police Department. For three years, she pulled double shifts, working the grill at Pick’s until 3pm, and then answering phones at the station from 5:30 until 9pm.

“Once, I answered the PD phone, ‘Hello, Pick’s,’” she admits, though the detective in the tight-knit town didn’t mind.

While she loved dispatch work, Clow—who fielded calls about choking children, suicides, cars crashed into live wires—ultimately realized she needed to choose one profession. “In police work, lots of people get labeled as bad,” she tells me, “but the truth is, not everybody’s a bad guy.”

A Cloverdale resident for almost 30 years, Clow ) 14 is a repository of local

legend and habits. She chats about everything from the time Art Linkletter showed up (her young employee asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who?â&#x20AC;?) to the Humboldt marching band that plays on the bar at Ruth McGowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after the annual Citrus Fair parade every year.

From her perch behind the counter, Clow has watched the changing tides ripple through the town, for better and for worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember when that was the ďŹ rst stoplight youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hit after leaving San Francisco,â&#x20AC;? she says, pointing to Cloverdale Boulevard. This was back when Old Redwood Highway meandered through all towns north but Highway 101 zipped through all towns southâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;before the Cloverdale freeway bypass was completed in 1994, threatening to suffocate downtown, and before the Golden Arches appeared on the horizon and Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown could still support local bookstores and shoe stores.

Though Clow admits that Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown has faded (thanks, Starbucks and Subway), she also celebrates the addition of the farmers market and Cloverdale Arts Alliance, which hosts free Friday night concerts from May until August. And even though frozen yogurt and consignment shops have dragged the little town into the 21st century, Pickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, along with the Owl Cafe, Papaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza, the Eagles Nest and the Hamburger Ranch, keeps it anchored in its historical past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is not any different today,â&#x20AC;? says 94-year-old Al Furber, whose ancestors moved to Cloverdale in 1879, â&#x20AC;&#x153;than it was back in 1936â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the year he graduated from high school and went to work at the Standard gas station next door (now Chase bank). At that time, car-hops brought trays of food to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windows, and Furber couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for his break to get a root beer.

Indeed, Pickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still looks much like it did 90 years ago.

Though the menu has remained remarkably consistent over the decades, Clow has made a few changes, mostly to appease the health-conscious. In addition to

replacing the deep fried chicken burger with a grilled chicken sandwich, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added veggie patties, black-bean burgers, turkey burgers and the larger quarterpounder to the repertoire. She also buys antibiotic and hormone-free beef from Niman Ranch. Like many, Clow loves the classic deluxe burger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tempted to eat one every day,â&#x20AC;? she laughs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to roll me home at night.â&#x20AC;?

One thing that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed in 65 years is the famous red relish, which the Pickards bought from a local Santa Rosan who made the stuff in his garage with chow-chow and pickles. After he died, they procured the recipe from his widow. When I ask Clow if anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever asked her for the recipe, she shakes her head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No. Everyone knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top secret.â&#x20AC;?

Clow and her employees still make six gallons of the relish at a time, which lasts longer in the winter but goes quickly during peak summer and fall seasons.

Pickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closes during December and January, and reopens a week before the annual Citrus Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the winter, people say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a light has gone out downtown,â&#x20AC;? Clow says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is so happy when it reopens.â&#x20AC;?

And by â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone,â&#x20AC;? Clow is talking about a wide swath, from diehard locals, like Jeremy from the post office who always gets a double bacon cheeseburger, and Andy who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do without his french fries, to the farther-ďŹ&#x201A;ung regulars who stop by on their way to and from the coast. The ďŹ rst time I ever ate there, I shared the bar with a group of Germans who were touring the country by motorcycle. More than one coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including two people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d met and courted thereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; has celebrated their wedding anniversary at Pickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

But Clowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true prized customers are the newest generation, like her own grandchildren, who can still hop on their bikes and enjoy an ice cream cone for a buck ďŹ fty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really try to keep it affordable,â&#x20AC;? she tells me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the kids.â&#x20AC;?

SMALL BITES

Bury Me in Bacon Waffle Batter I’ve given it much thought, and when I die, I hope to be encased in carbonite like Han Solo in Star Wars. But I hope to have carbonite replaced with bacon-in-the-batter waffle mix.

On Saturday, April 13, Santa Rosa’s Zazu hosts a brunch to benefit the Ceres Community Project. What’s special about this, other than being hosted by two of the hottest chefs in the area (Duskie Estes and John Stewart), is that 100 percent of the proceeds go to the nonprofit—all of it. Teens from the project will help cook and serve.

The menu includes three types of breads (some with bacon), four sides (some with bacon, some with Meyer lemon) and six entrées (including bacon-in-the-batter waffles). It makes sense that each course includes an option for bacon, since that’s what the pioneering restaurant is largely known for; the chefs raise their own pigs, and therefore know exactly what goes in them, which, needless to say, does not include chemical additives like those found in most grocery-store pork.

This isn’t the first time Zazu’s partnered with Ceres, and hopefully it won’t be the last.

Tickets are $39 per person for three courses with coffee. Zazu Restaurant and Farm, 3535 Guerneville Road, Santa Rosa.

Adastra Wines

To the Stars, Through Napa

BY JAMES KNIGHT

T

here’s something about the name that suggests something else. Adastra! It almost demands an exclamation mark, a pyramid with black tinted glass, that sort of thing.

Adastra’s hospitality center in Napa, however, located down a narrow little drive lined with poplars, within a tidy but antique farmstead, is anything but wine country moderne. It’s a big, old horse barn.

Inside, owner Chris Thorpe explains that “ad astra per aspera” means “to the stars through striving.” It’s the motto also of many a school, and, among other things, of the Martian Imperial Commandos in Kurt Vonnegut’s Sirens of Titan. The giant painting of a mammoth inside the barn? That’s another story, but it’s already clear that Adastra is a quirky mom-and-pop outfit with a sense of humor.

Thorpe grew up on a farm in Michigan, so his first idea was to get rural, not get into the wine business. He tried raising cattle first, but it turned out that grapes were less likely to bust out of the fencing. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2005.

Thorpe may have led this tour hundreds of times, but he’s in no hurry, passing leaves from the garden over for inspection: there’s wormwood, camphor, sorrel. Once a surgeon, his manner is more reminiscent of a tangent-spinning professor emeritus, his voice pitching into a mischievous lilt when he’s kidding around. He’s quick to drop the names to restaurants that serve his wine, but he’s also proud of their prize-winning tomatoes. “The Adastra tomatoes are the best I’ve ever tasted,” said one chef. “The wine is pretty good, too.”

For small groups, tasting is conducted on the kitchen table, “the way it used to be,” according to Thorpe. The 2011 N’Oak Chardonnay ($20) spent no time in barrels, but it’s got aromas of apples and cream, with a rich, lingering finish.

The 2009 Proximus Pinot Noir ($60) has more spice, texture and cranberry fruit than the 2005 Pinot Noir library sample, which has an enticing bouquet of orange rind and chocolate liqueur. The 2009 Merlot ($40) should appeal to Right Bank fans, with inky fruit, graphite and tobacco notes; fine herbs accent the 2009 Proximus Merlot’s ($60) plush red fruit and baking chocolate flavors.

Ed’s Red 2009 A.D. ($15) is nicely priced, with a silly theme and an artistic label depicting an imposing but quite extinct wooly mammoth. A pleasing, perfumy blend of Dolcetto, Zin and Syrah, it’s been a real hit for them. Ed’s Red is the brainchild of Thorpe’s son-inlaw, who explains the theme thus: it goes great with mammoth. You either get it, or add “non sequitur” to this week’s Latin lesson.

Adastra Wines, 2545 Las Amigas Road, Napa. Tour and tasting by appointment, $25. 707.255.4818. Taste at Adastra and 20 other Carneros wineries during “April in Carneros,” April 20–21, 10am– 4pm. Admission, $45; $39 online at www.carneroswineries.org.

What do you do at Farmacopia? It’s a question we get a lot.

We listen. We hear your story and it might sound something like this: I'm incredibly frustrated because (fill in the blank) I have no energy, my stress levels are off the charts, my hormones are all over the map, I blow up like a balloon no matter what I eat, I can't sleep, and wow, on top of it, I've had this cold for 3 weeks. Or maybe your doctor sent you in because you asked for an alternative to the medication she's prescribing.

Maybe you feel terrible and the doctor

keeps telling you nothing's wrong. Maybe you just want to know if you're taking the right supplements, or if you can optimize your health. Or maybe your kid is sick for the 7th time this year.

Here's where we come in: We hear you. And help you to find a starting point—recommend some of our superb supplements and really effective dietary tweaks, or we have you talk to our on-staff herbalist for a custom-blended tincture (our most popular offering!). If your issues are more complex, we might direct you to a private consultation, an acupuncturist or body worker. Less complicated: we send you off with remedies on the spot.

A little bit more about us: We're warm, knowledgeable, and non-dogmatic. We've been here for 14 years but manage to stay on the cutting edge. We've been voted Best Herbal Clinic in the Bohemian 2 years running, and this year, our Clinical Herbalist/ Nutritionist Lily Mazzarella was voted Best Holistic Practitioner.

In short, we help you feel good.

Come in and see us, Monday–Friday 10–6.

Her passion is fitness, nutrition, and health.

Peace in Medicine provides safe access to quality medicine for qualified patients in a professional and friendly environment. Peace in Medicine has successfully established itself as a role model for medical cannabis dispensaries and healing centers nationally.

We at Peace in Medicine advocate and support a proactive and holistic approach to health management. In this spirit, we offer numerous services including therapeutic massage, acupuncture, guest speakers, peer counselors and empowering educational materials.

After destroying her left knee joint from overuse, a friend introduced her to Bikram Yoga. She was amazed at what practicing Bikram Yoga did for her body.

Her knee joint slowly became stronger and stopped throbbing with pain. Her body's alignment, posture, balance, and strength improved incredibly. Her athletic abilities greatly increased in all of the sports she plays. As long as she does Bikram Yoga three or more times per week, her knee stays strong and can take the impact of running, mountain biking, etc… With regular Bikram Yoga practice, Rebecca also noticed that her stress level began to decrease and she was able to sleep better at night.

Peace in Medicine is a non-profit mutual benefit corporation with a unique business model firmly based in three overarching tenets: the importance of local support and supporting locally; the belief in patient access to alternative medicine, information and education; and an unwavering adherence to environmental integrity.

Recognizing the importance of community, we reinvest a significant portion of any surplus income into local causes, community services, charities and social movements.

Rebecca has practiced Bikram Yoga for eight years. She has seen how much Bikram Yoga has helped not only herself, but everyone who practices around her.

She has seen those of all ages, sizes, and abilities benefit greatly from a regular Bikram Yoga practice. She has seen so many students transform their bodies, and reduce aches and pains. Rebecca went to teacher training in April 2010.

She absolutely loves teaching Bikram Yoga and motivating students to stay healthy and strong.

Le Carre is the hidden gem of Santa Rosa!!

My girlfriends and I enjoyed a lovely day at Le Carre! We were met with incredible service and impressive treatments for this group of tired mommies. They easily accommodated our challenging scheduling requests, provided us with complimentary mimosas, truffles, fruits, nuts etc., and were consistently addressing our every need. As locals, we have historically traveled to Calistoga, Sonoma, or Napa for a spa day.

But, now since we've found Le Carre, there is no need to travel for great treatments and professional service.”

Red Cheeks “From makeup remover to soothing balm for a spanked ass, who would have thought it was such a versatile liquid?” Quotes like this, about baby oil, can be found (where else?) in Fifty Shades of Grey.

Dinosaur Jr. like to be described as fun, loud and fast as fuck, and, folks, that they are. For over 20 years, the trio has toured, recorded 10 albums and created hilarious music videos—like the one for “Feel the Pain,” in which the gang beat the crap out of each other with golf clubs.

Still making music just as vital as in their classic ’90s heyday, Dinosaur Jr. play in a giant red barn this week before going off to play Coachella. See them on Friday, April 12, at Gundlach Bundschu Winery.

A Golden Affair Marin Ballet turns 50

M

arin Ballet is half a century young this year, and its golden anniversary marks a signiďŹ cant milestone.

To honor founder Leona Norman, and students past and present, the company hosts a public performance on April 13 featuring alumni whose aspirations and hard work led to careers as professional dancers.

Marin Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humble

BY JASMINE RIOS

beginning dates back to the 1950s, when Leona Norman, an accomplished dancer, began teaching lessons in a small studio above the old Tamalpais Theatre in San Anselmo. An ambitious woman herself, having danced throughout the world and trained with notable ďŹ gures in the industry, Norman was determined to bring the standards she knew to her own community in Marin.

In the 1950s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, Norman was a driving force in the regional dance movement, which promoted high-quality dance education and the further development of

performing companies across the country. Norman also taught private lessons from a studio in her home until 1963, when Marin Ballet was established as a nonproďŹ t. In 1971, Marin Ballet received a generous grant from the S.H. Cowell Foundation. These funds enabled the organization to acquire its current facility located at 100 Elm St., now equipped with six large studios, including a 120-seat studio theater, dressing rooms, administrative offices, a kitchen and a library.

But it was at the Tamalpais Theatre where Norman met her

youngest pupil, Ms. Cynthia Lucas, an ambitious three-year-old who would become Marin Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current artistic director.

Initially too young to take Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-ballet class, Lucas was determined nonetheless; she even watched her older sister take class through a tiny hole in the wall. With further persistence, Lucas earned herself a spot in Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-ballet class for ďŹ veyear-olds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just really wanted to dance,â&#x20AC;? says Lucas today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the love affair started.â&#x20AC;?

By 1972, Lucas completed her training at Marin Ballet and joined the National Ballet of Canada, where she enjoyed a fulďŹ lling career as a dancer and, later on, ballet mistress. Some years after the birth of her daughter, Lucas accepted Marin Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer in 1998 as school director and, two years later, artistic director.

Norman passed away in 1975, yet her vision survives. Lucas instills her students with Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy of maintaining a sense of life-balance when training to become a dancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had work that required a serious commitment and a certain amount of respect,â&#x20AC;? Lucas explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which meant working our hardest every day while staying within our own individual limits.â&#x20AC;?

Marin Ballet alumna Olivia Ramsay graduated from the program in 2002 under the direction of Lucas. Ramsay represents a modern-day example of Marin Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My training not only gave me the technical base that I needed to survive as a dancer,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but Marin Ballet also gave me exceptional coaching and performance opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

Ramsay began dancing professionally the same year she graduated, joining Santa Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Street Ballet and touring throughout the United States, China and Taiwan. ) 24

Two years later, she joined Ballet PaciďŹ ca in Irvine, followed by San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smuin Ballet, where she danced for six seasons. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved working with Michael Smuin,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and feel honored to have had the chance to dance for him before he passed away.â&#x20AC;?)

Recalling the inďŹ&#x201A;uence Lucas had on her while she was a student, Ramsay says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is an incredible teacher and has clearly dedicated herself towards preserving classical ballet. She was a tough but loving teacher as a student. Now, I see how this gives her the foundation to be such a successful director.â&#x20AC;?

Marin Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alumni performance on April 13 features a series of solo performances by Boston Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Lam; Smuin Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robin Cornwell; and Josie Garthwaite Sadan of the Robert Mosesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kin dance company. One work from years past is Ronn Guidiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trois Gymnopedies,â&#x20AC;? ďŹ rst performed in 1967 by Cynthia Lucas; in her place, Lucasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Mila Lavoie, an apprentice with the Sacramento Ballet, will perform, along with Dawson/Wallace Dance Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jessica Wagner and Memphis Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Travis Bradley.

Current students of Marin Ballet will also have a turn in the spotlight, to perform works by Robert Dekkers, Casey Thorne, Amy London and the legendary George Balanchine.

Closing the program, students will perform Julia Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream,â&#x20AC;? alongside San Francisco Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pierre-François Vilanoba, and Smuin Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Speed Orr and Jonathan Mangosing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;April 13th is going to be an exceptional showcase of our current students, alumni and guest artists,â&#x20AC;? says Ramsay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to see many members of the Marin arts community in the audience.â&#x20AC;?

NEW ERA L. Peter Callender plays Simon, a freed slave, in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whipping Man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Free at Last MTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whipping Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; packed with power

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;W

ere we Jews . . . or were we slaves?â&#x20AC;?

That question is asked by John, a young black man raised as a Jew by the observant Southern slave owners to whom he recently belonged. In Matthew Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful, intense drama The Whipping Man at Mill Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marin Theatre Company, faith, family and the scars of slavery are just some of the many ties that bind three men together at a singular time in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

It is Passover, April of 1865, in Richmond, Va., just days after the Emancipation Proclamation. John (a ďŹ rst-rate Tobie Windham), seeking shelter in the ruins of the looted and abandoned home he once served in, is a mix of fear and resentment, the opposite of the older Simon (L. Peter Callender, astonishing), who also served in the house. Kinder and wiser, now

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Whipping Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; runs Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sunday through April 28 at Marin Theatre Company. 397 Miller Ave., Mill Valley. Times vary. $36â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$57.

Stage

cautiously optimistic about his future as a free man, Simon awaits the return of his former master, who escaped the sacking of Richmond (by Union soldiers), taking Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and teenage daughter with him.

With mixed motivations, John and Simon are caring for Caleb (Nicholas Pelczar), the masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Confederate soldier son, grievously wounded with a gangrenous leg, his faith in the Torah shattered after years on the battleďŹ eld and the defeat of the Confederacy.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a setup ripe with dramatic and philosophical possibilities.

Playwright Lopez takes advantage of every one of them, never letting up on the intensity and emotion of the situation.

There is an artfully graphic onstage amputation, made more powerful following Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gorgeously crafted description of the procedure to come. John, understandably angry and confused about his identity as a Jewish slave, delivers a riveting, percussive description of being sent as a boy to the whipping man, and the lessons he learned there about the divisions between him and his white owners. Most potently, there is a movingly improvised Passover Seder, cobbled together from scraps and stolen provisions, two freed slaves and their former master uncomfortably (and powerfully) recalling their ancestorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; freedom from bondage in Egypt.

Directed by Jasson Minadakis with tremendous heart and impressive attention to detail, the play was co-produced with the Virginia Stage Company, where it ran last month.

Secrets, large and small, are revealed over the course of the two-hour play, and while some moments stray toward the predictable and the melodramatic, Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boldly told tale is easily one of the best shows of the season, packed with challenging ideas and questions that just might reverberate in your mind for days.

Sonoma, Tiburon film fest highlights

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

I

n certain parts of the world, film aficionados have to wait months in between film festivals, often driving hundreds of miles over bridges and into major cities to get their cinematic fix. Such people, obviously, do not live in the North Bay, where every town worth its weight in cocktail napkins now has its own film fest. This weekend, two different festivals—each known for a sense of elegance and eccentric charm—will lure film fans, and filmmakers, to their respective towns.

Now in its 12th year, the Tiburon International Film Festival (running April 11–19), as its title implies, focuses on films from around the globe, with a crystal clear motto: “Understanding the world through film.” Meanwhile, the 16-

year-old Sonoma International Film Festival (April 10–14) has for years emphasized an appreciation for food and wine along with a love of fine independent cinema.

In Sonoma, highlights include Project Censored: The Movie (April 12, 6:30pm; April 14, 3pm), a short and sweet documentary inspired by Sonoma County’s legendary alternative newsgathering project. The entertaining film features interviews with Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Oliver Stone. Iceland’s The Deep (April 10, 7pm; April 13, 9pm) recreates the true-life adventure of a man who survived in the freezing waters of Iceland after his boat capsized in 1984.

The Sinners (April 12, 8:30pm; April 13, 6:30pm), from Iran, is a Hitchcockian thriller set on the streets of Tehran. And for those who really like their cinema to be violent, consider The Best of Looney Tunes (April 13, 9:30am), a montage of ingenious Chuck Jones cartoons spanning the years.

For a bit of star-power, actor Ray Liotta will be present, introducing his hit-man thriller Iceman (April 10, 6:30 and 9:30pm), and Mary Louise Parker (star of Weeds and Fried Green Tomatoes) will be treated to a splashy tribute (April 13, 6pm).

Meanwhile, in Tiburon, fans of comedies will want to check out The President (April 12, 8pm), a farcical Dutch film about a lovestruck goat herder who finds himself running for president of Holland.

In Road to the Open (April 17, 8:15pm), Eric Roberts stars in a quirky love story about a depressed tennis player’s unlikely second-chance at love . . . and a tennis championship. And the festival’s local Marin Filmmakers series includes Past Their Prime, about the oldest living gorilla in captivity, and Running for Jim (April 16 and 18, 8pm) a thrilling documentary about high school track coach Jim Tracy and the length his team goes to help him once he’s diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

WELL ALL RIGHT Blind Faithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst album has a key role in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Cover Story.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Hip Squares New doc uncovers the stories behind classic album art

BY BRUCE ROBINSON

D

espite the old maxim about books, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expected to judge a record album by its cover.

By careful design, these 12inch squares meld art and marketing in iconic images and photographs that often make the LP a work of visual, as well as musical, creativity.

Many have come with unknown but fascinating backstories, nuggets of cultural history that Marin ďŹ lmmaker Eric Christensen mines in his new documentary The Cover Story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the stories behind the albums I knewâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re legendaryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but with many, I uncovered stories of what it took to take the photograph or do the artwork,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the really interesting ones is the Doors album cover that Henry Diltz did for Morrison Hotel, how they had to sneak into the hotel and take one shot and that was it.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Cover Storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; screens April 13 at the Sonoma International Film Festival and April 15 at the Rafael Film Center.

Along with photographers, graphic artists are the stars of The Cover Story, including several who are â&#x20AC;&#x153;intrinsically linkedâ&#x20AC;? with speciďŹ c performers, among them Roger Dean (Yes), Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd) and Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley (the Grateful Dead). They naturally welcomed the chance to discuss their work, Christensen says, but musicians, too, were happy to contribute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They sort of lit up when asked about how the artwork links with the music, and what went into the decisionsâ&#x20AC;? about their covers, Christensen says.

The stories behind other album art, like Nirvanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nevermind, took considerable digging. The swimming baby seen underwater is now a young adult, who seems rather bemused by the whole thing.

More intensive detective work was required to identify and locate the then-11-year-old girl seen topless and holding a model spaceship on the original cover of the lone album by 1970s supergroup Blind Faith.

Even though the photographer refused to help, Christensen found herâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and persuaded her to tell her story on camera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a young girl and had no compunction about posing for it,â&#x20AC;? he recounts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way she feels now is sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad that people talk about it and are interested in it.â&#x20AC;?

Blind Faith was quickly repackaged with a standard bandphoto cover in the United States, making it the second high-visibility case of what Christensen calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;banned covers.â&#x20AC;? (The ďŹ rst was the Beatlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hastily recalled â&#x20AC;&#x153;butcherâ&#x20AC;? cover for Yesterday and Today.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a funny one where the Mamas and Papas, fully clothed, are in a bathtub, but Dunhill records put a sticker over the toilet, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause the toilet was dirty and they thought that was too gross,â&#x20AC;? the ďŹ lmmaker notes.

Several others are also featured in the ďŹ lm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of these have become collectibles,â&#x20AC;? he notes, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;have a certain place in the history.â&#x20AC;?

ALL SEEING EYES Nahko Bear blends rhythm with a deep message.

Manifesto Wisdom, Nahko Bear play benefit

˜

BY JACQUELYNNE OCANA

‘W

hen you are doing something that is not about you,” says Joey Damico, “it shifts the paradigm.”

One afternoon last year, the new board members of Little Tribe Children’s Foundation heard the lyrics to Nahko Bear’s song “Manifesto.” The message went straight to their hearts, and they sought out Nahko and his band, Medicine for the People, to headline the nonprofit’s first benefit concert in support of arts and music therapy for kids.

Oregon’s Nahko Bear is a folk revivalist who, along with his tribe of spirited troubadours, makes community-healing music. Nahko’s weighty vocals drift in and out of ballads about cultural cohesion, environmental consciousness and social transcendence. The message is heavy, but the rhythms are energizing. It’s a combination that resonates with the vision of the Little Tribe organization.

The budding nonprofit is based in Sebastopol. Founder Joey Damico is an Oakland

native and Rhode Island–raised West Countian whose corporate technology career propelled him to the top—until his personal life suddenly came crashing down.

Damico found himself searching for something to heal a broken spirit: “I started thinking about my kids and the gratitude for how healthy they were. There are a lot of people who are not blessed with healthy children.”

Bay Area children’s hospitals offer lots of creative arts therapy programs, and doctors believe they have a tremendous impact on healing, even for terminally ill kids. Generally, however, they’re sparsely funded and lack the resources to expand. That’s where Little Tribe comes in, donating 90 percent of funds raised at major events to like-minded institutions.

It’s an ambitious goal, and “it’s not easy to do but it’s our mantra,” assures Damico. “We are an allvolunteer army and our core principle is to run lean and mean.”

Damico is in good company with the foundation, enlisting successful local artists to head up the board of directors. “In any business relationship, you want to surround yourself with talented and inspired people,” he says. “But more importantly they need a skill set that augments your own.”

Graphic designer Zack Darling, photographer Jade Turgel and hip-hop artist Tevya “Wisdom” Jones each lend a creative dose of professional artistry to attract community enthusiasm.

Also performing on Friday is Wisdom, whose third studio album, Full Spectrum, was released in March. Wisdom’s new bout of lyricism is rooted in conscious hiphop, enriched with world rhythms and classic dancehall beats.

Featured in the seminal film The Indigo Evolution, Jones believes children must develop themselves spiritual and musically. “If I could just reach one person and help uplift their life,” says Jones, “I mean, how many artists have done that for me? That’s what inspires and drives me in my music.”

Nahko and Medicine for the People play with Wisdom, Zack Darling and Beli3ver on Friday, April 12, at Hopmonk. 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. 9pm. $15. 707.829.7300.

Occidental Center for the Arts

Dark Unknown Holcombe Waller to play Occidental While visiting Occidental a couple years ago, Holcombe Waller played at West County Herb Company and quickly dubbed it his â&#x20AC;&#x153;favorite tiny venue west of the Mississippi.â&#x20AC;?

Even though Wallerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haircut is hipper than all the single speeds and plaid shirts in the land, the Portland-based theatrical troubadour defies easy stereotypes.

He creates elaborately staged shows incorporating video projections and costumes (what he once called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;metatheatrical singspiel-style pop operaâ&#x20AC;?), and yet he can also goose-bump a crowd with nothing more than his sweet tenor and acoustic guitar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holcombe has an aura of magic,â&#x20AC;? West County Herb Company owner Lisa Kurtz says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His voice is angelic.â&#x20AC;?

When Waller returns to the West County Herb Company this week, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll draw heavily from his most recent album, Into the Dark Unknown, which one critic described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a contender for least macho album of the year.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singing about breakups or unicorns, Waller suffuses both the mundane and the magical with an arresting emotional honesty. See him on Friday, April 12, at West County Herb Company.

Dr. Motivation

Cornel West to give powerful message at SSU Dr. Cornel Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice is so motivational that hearing him read a grocery list could make heads nod in unison and inspire one to cry out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right! We have to do something about the lack of peanut butter in this house!â&#x20AC;?

But Cornel West doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read grocery lists. Born in 1953, he became a lecturer at Harvard at age 25. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now a professor at Princeton whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written 20 books, several of which are required reading at Sonoma State University, where he lectures this week.

Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise lies in politics and religion, but race, poverty and the inequality of wealth are all fair gameâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and nobody is above reproach. On a C-SPAN panel, he famously lambasted President Obama for taking the oath of office on Martin Luther King Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bible while approving drone strikes in Pakistan and leaving 62 percent of prisoners in jail for soft-drug crimesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; while not a single Wall Street executive is incarcerated.

Cornel West speaks Thursday, April 11, at SSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Music Center. 1801 E. Cotati Ave., Rohnert Park. 7pm. $20. 866.955.6040. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Nicolas Grizzle

BY ROB BREZSNY

For the week of April 10

ARIES (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19) German theologian Martin Luther (1483â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1546) was a central ďŹ gure in the rebellion against the Catholic Church that led to the Protestant Reformation. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never guess where he was when he was struck by the epiphany that became the core axiom of his new religion. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you: he was sitting on the toilet in the Wittenberg Monastery. The Holy Spirit gave him the crucial knowledge then and there, or so he testiďŹ ed. In this spirit, Aries, keep a very open mind about where you will be and what you will be doing when your illuminations arrive this week.

TAURUS (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20) Your task is to

uncover the semi-happy ending that was hidden back in the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginning. Once you do that, you may be able to create a graceful and honorable climax. In fact, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you will be able to bring about the semi-happy ending any other way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial that you return to the original ďŹ&#x201A;ash of inspirationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the time when all the plot lines that eventually developed were ďŹ rst germinating. You need to remember fateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primal promise. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to read the signs you missed in the early going.

GEMINI (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20) If you play poker, the odds are one in 649,740 that you will get a royal ďŹ&#x201A;ush.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ace, king, queen, jack and 10 of one suit. As for drawing a straight ďŹ&#x201A;ushâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;any ďŹ ve consecutive cards of one suitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the odds are one in 72,192. Judging from the current astrological omens, Gemini, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say your chance of getting one of those hands is far better than usualâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;maybe one in 88,000 for the royal ďŹ&#x201A;ush and one in 8,888 for the straight ďŹ&#x201A;ush. But those still arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great odds. On the other hand, getting a ďŹ&#x201A;ushâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; all ďŹ ve cards of the same suitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is normally one in 509, but these days itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty likely for you. The moral of the story, not just for when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing cards, but in whatever you do: Expect really good luck, but not miraculous, out-of-this-world luck.

CANCER (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place,â&#x20AC;? wrote the poet Rumi. This is excellent advice for you right now, Cancerian. You are nearing the peak of your power to express yourself with beautiful accuracy. You have more skill than usual at understanding and conveying the interesting truth.

As a result, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a position to wield extra inďŹ&#x201A;uence.

People are receptive to being moved by your heart-felt intelligence. So please do more than simply push for greater efďŹ ciency, order and discipline. Those things are good, but I hope you will also be a radiant role model who exempliďŹ es what it means to be soulful.

LEO (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;August 22) Golden Rock is a Buddhist holy site in Burma. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small pagoda built on top of a giant boulder that in turn seems to be precariously balanced at the edge of a down-sloping bed of rock.

How does the boulder remain stationary? Why doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it roll off the edge? It appears to defy gravity. Legend says that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held in place by a single strand of hair from the Buddhaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head. I suspect that many of you Leos will soon have access to a tricky asset with resemblances to that magic strand. True, it might be merely metaphorical. But if used correctly, it could become a key element in a future foundation.

VIRGO (August 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;September 22)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SoulSearching Seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a good time to go in search of your soul. To aid your quest, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer a few lines from â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Few Words on the Soul,â&#x20AC;? a poem by Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a soul at times,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got it non-stop, for keeps. Day after day, year after year may pass without it. For every thousand conversations, it participates in one, if even that, since it prefers silence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picky: our hustling for a dubious advantage and creaky machinations make it sick.

Joy and sorrow arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t two different feelings for it. It attends us only when the two are joined. We can count on it when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure of nothing and curious about everything. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say where it comes from or when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking off again, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly expecting such questions. We need it but apparently it needs us for some reason too.â&#x20AC;? (Translation by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh. Read the whole poem here: http://tinyurl.com/SearchSoul.)

LIBRA (September 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;October 22) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not believe in God,â&#x20AC;? said Mexican painter Diego Rivera, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I believe in Picasso.â&#x20AC;? My poet-musician friend Tanya has a similar philosophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in God, or even Goddess, for that matter,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I do believe in Patti Smith.â&#x20AC;? Do you have a God-substitute, Libra? Or, if you do have faith in a Cosmic Wow, is there also a more approachable, second-tier source of divinity you love? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you would really beneďŹ t from feeling an intimate kind of reverence right nowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a tender devotion for something higher and brighter that awakens the sleeping part of your lust for life.

SCORPIO (October 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;November 21) This would be an excellent time to stage staring contests with yourself in the mirror. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high likelihood that you will win every time. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also have great success whenever you try to read your own mind.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an uncanny knack for plucking buried secrets and self-deceptions out of their hiding places.

One more thing, Scorpio: Have you ever considered how fun it might be to wash your own brain and kick your own butt? Now would be an excellent time to experiment with those radical acts of healing.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;December 21) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so hard to forget pain, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even harder to remember sweetness,â&#x20AC;? writes novelist Chuck Palahniuk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.â&#x20AC;? Your assignment in the coming days, Sagittarius, is to prove Palahniuk wrong.

As the surges of sweetness ďŹ&#x201A;ow through you, as your secret joy ripens into bright blooming bliss, imprint the sensations on your memory. Vow to remember them for the rest of your life. Make these breakthrough moments into talismans that will serve as magical spells whenever you need rejuvenation in the future.

CAPRICORN (December 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;January 19) Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein had his priorities straight. This is what he said about his profession: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In philosophy the race is won by the one who can run slowestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the one who crosses the ďŹ nish line last.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my belief, Capricorn, that a similar rule should apply to you in the coming daysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no matter what project youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on or goal youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to accomplish.

Proceed slowly enough to be absolutely thorough, meticulous and conscientious. As you make your way to the ďŹ nish line, be as deep as you dare.

AQUARIUS (January 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;February 18) In Samuel Beckettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel Molloy, the main character talks about a long overland journey he took on foot and by bicycle. Before the trip, he had read somewhere that when people are lost in a forest, they often imagine theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving in a straight line when in fact theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going in a circle. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, during his own travels, he intentionally walked in a circle, hoping thereby to go straight. Although this might sound like a loopy strategy, Aquarius, I think it will make sense for you to adopt in the coming week. Your apparent path may be very different, maybe even opposite, to your actual path.

PISCES (February 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20)

Are you in competition with someone who is doing mediocre work? Do you ďŹ nd it incomprehensible that anyone would pay attention to that weak expression instead of ďŹ&#x201A;ocking to your beautiful vibe? If so, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my advice. Withdraw your attention from your inferior opponent. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste a minute feeling jealous or resentful or incredulous. Instead, concentrate your energy on making your production so strong and smart and irresistible that you simply overshadow and overwhelm your rivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

BEST DIVE BAR! We’re flattered, of course.

We’ve been quenching thirsts for X? years now. We don’t pretend to be anything fancy. We’re just about the only BAR without a RESTAURANT in Napa Valley. You want arugula, go somewhere else. You want a cold one and some pretzels, pardner, you sure came to the right place.

Ride on in.
