Rhapsodies Ban the ‘Boutique’ Proposed overpriced hotel would ruin Sebastopol’s small-town charm

BY ALEXIS HEEMSTRA

I

am a single mother who works full-time, and I am on no government assistance. I scraped together enough money to qualify for a loan earlier this year to buy my first home, which I purchased at Bodega Avenue Townhouses, located just west of the French Garden Restaurant in Sebastopol.

The owner of the French Garden is proposing to build a twostory, 18-room, 8,000-square-foot hotel between the restaurant and town homes on a small narrow sliver of land. I went to the planning commission meeting on Aug. 13, where the owner’s request to change the zoning for the hotel was heard.

The hotel is planned in an area with 10 schools within a one-mile radius. There are two large parks right down the street from the proposed site. I have major concerns about the safety of the kids that ride bikes to and from school and the parks. All the hotels in Sebastopol (two hotels and four B&Bs) are marketed as “close to wineries.” How close to wineries do you want your kids to be when the hotel patrons are driving home after a day of winetasting?

Also, I ask Sebastopol, do we need another hotel? There are six lodging establishments in Sebastopol, totaling 123 rooms. The Barlow is already adding 60 rooms in a 34,000-square-foot hotel less than three miles from this proposed site. The Barlow’s rooms will be $270 per night. Why do we need another expensive boutique hotel so close to this one?

The planning commission approved the construction plans with a vote of four in favor and two against. Chair Evert Fernandez asked that the vote be postponed until more schools and interested parties could be contacted for comment, since the planning commission only provided one week of notice regarding the meeting. However, commissioner Colin Doyle was very vocal about not contacting any additional interested parties and pushing the vote ahead—even though the developer said he would wait.

I urge all parents in Sebastopol to state their opposition to the construction. I also volunteer to be contacted by any interested parties. Let’s keep Sebastopol a true town and not turn it into Napa—a destination for overpriced boutique hotels for wine tasters!

Gabe’s SoCalled Music

Apparently, Gabe Meline personally does not mind watching his young child running around the aisles of Community Market, screaming about the motherfucking bitches that ain’t shit—what a cute little kid! (“Parental Advisory,” Aug. 14.) If Gabe could remove his hip-hop hat from his smug skull and see past his tattoos, he might begin to comprehend that one doesn’t have to be a conservative or a Christian to be dismayed by the precipitous collapse of any ethical sense at all in popular “culture,” enchanted as it is by worship of prison life and the “obnoxious bragging, anonymous sex, murderous gunplay, or rhyming with the F-word” he and his child enjoy so much. But that’s the so-called music he digs, and it will help create the future that he and his kid will live in. Good luck with that, Gabe. Why not try some Duke Ellington out on your little bundle of joy.

That might open both your minds a bit.

JAY WILLIAMSON Santa Rosa

Omega-3 Scandal Letter-writer Lauren Ayers (“Efren Needs Better Nutrition,” Aug. 7) hypothesizes that Efren Carrillo’s “demented” behavior results from the “invisible malady” of mental illness. And, further, that it is a physiological cause at the root of such improbable behavior from a promising well-respected political savant. Whether or not this is true, can we not accept the warped disharmony between our bodies and minds as among the main culprits?

Whoever you are, Lauren Ayers, my

two twenty-something sons and so many of their ilk would be applauding you. Only the other day I was soundly lectured on the mayhem caused by the unsolicited introduction of fluoride in our water, not to mention the daily warnings to panic if it’s not organic.

“Dad, do you have any idea what processed foods are doing to the essential makeup of our bodies?”

Miss Ayers seems to know, recommending we substitute our steady diet of cheap addictive unnatural food products with more omegas, minerals and vitamins in natural foods. It might not have an effect on the political warts in the limelight these days, but then again, you never know.

BOB KLEIN Santa Rosa

The Kids, Fully Grown Dani Burlison says in her article about teenagers (“Mom! I Need a Ride!” Aug. 14) that “you’ll pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back and . . . enjoy the last few years together.” There’s another stage, beyond the one she’s talking about, when your children come back as their own adult selves, merging the lessons you tried to teach them with the lessons they’ve learned on their own. I get great fatherly joy from seeing what interesting, creative, rooted men my sons have become, and from learning from them—and, heck, they occasionally even still ask us for advice. It kind of pays back for those challenging teenage (and other) years.

and hilarious “Which One Should I Buy?” I was reading it and laughing out loud as my two-year-old son was playing in the front yard on his combo “swing” and “pull up bar,” which is something his dad set up in our apple tree. It’s a long stick, hung from a piece of rope and tied in the middle—our little guy grabs it with a hand on either side and swings all over. It provides hours of no-cost entertainment. Right next to it is a homemade “tetherball,” a hacky sack tied with another rope hung from same tree, and when hit with a stick, we call it “piñata practice.” Here’s to good old-fashioned and cheap fun!

Paper THE

Asawa’s Fountain Ruth Asawa’s fountain in Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square is such a landmark that it even has its own check-in page on Foursquare.

Its exterior stone panels are a mural timeline of Santa Rosa up to 1987, created by the beloved Japanese-American artist who passed away this month. But a plan for the reunification of Courthouse Square shows the space without the fountain—and that has had some art lovers concerned.

“The fountain is to be obliterated as part of the reunification of Courthouse Square,” says Francie Aguilera in an email to the Bohemian. “It beautifully shows, as only Asawa could, the area’s history,” Aguilera continues. “This fountain is part of our cultural heritage.”

EVENTUAL REALITY With GMOs here to stay, it’s time to ask what sort of labels should appear on packages.

Sticking to It GMO labeling: what now?

S

ince the narrow defeat last November of California’s Proposition 37, which would have mandated labeling of genetically modified foods, the sentiment behind the proposition has spread to similarly conceived bills in 26 other states. Proponents of such laws mostly argue that we have a right to know what’s in our food. However,

BY ARI LEVAUX

it’s probably fair to say that for many supporters, labeling would be a consolation prize in place of an outright ban on GMOs. But GMOs are so well established in the United States, and they don’t appear to be going anywhere. And based on the momentum of GMO labeling initiatives on the state level, as well as voluntary labeling programs by retailers like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, it’s

looking increasingly like a matter of when, and not if, some kind of nationwide labeling system is created. So instead of fighting about whether or not we need them, it makes sense for both sides to sit down and talk about how labels should look.

In an April blog post for Discover magazine online, Ramez Naam argued for GMO food supporters to stop opposing labels: “I support GMOs. And we should label them. We should label them because that is ) 10

Not so fast, says Santa Rosa senior planner Erin Morris. Though the actual fountain would be demolished, Asawa’s art would remain intact.

“The plan would be to put the three panels on a new freestanding wall near the fountain’s current location,” she says. The city is accepting public comment on the environmental impact report (EIR) through Sept. 16, including verbal comments at the Sept. 10 city council meeting. (The EIR is available for viewing on the city’s site.)

As for reunification of Courthouse Square, “this is an idea that’s been coming up since at least the late ’90s,” says Morris. “Finally, a few years ago, the city council decided to put money toward an EIR.” The project may be years away—but a vote on the EIR may take place as early as January 2014.

Santa Rosa councilwoman Julie Combs says she’s open to hearing what the public has to say about the plan. Any decisions, however, always include the bottom line. “Of course,” she says, “the final question is, ‘Where’s the money going to come from?’”—Nicolas Grizzle

the very best thing we can do for public acceptance of agricultural biotech. And we should label them because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely nothing to hide.â&#x20AC;?

According to most polls, the percentage of Americans that support labeling is in the low to mid 90s. To dismiss such popular sentiment would be to ignore the will of the vast majority. Naam further argues it could have counterintuitive side effects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At best, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condescending to consumers, sending a signal that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we know better than you what you should eat.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? By ďŹ ghting GMO labeling, he argues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re persuading those who might otherwise have no opinion on GMOs that there must be something to hide.â&#x20AC;?

One recent ABC poll showed that 57 percent of shoppers would be less likely to buy products that are labeled GMO, suggesting that a signiďŹ cant chunk of those who support labels arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to eat GMO foods. Other common reasons for the support of labeling, according to polls, include opposition to GMOs for environmental reasons, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;right to knowâ&#x20AC;? and angst over corporate control of the food system. Polls may not ask it, but for many, genetic modiďŹ cation is more symbol than issue, just one part of the industrialized monoculturebased food system from which they wish to disengage.

Clearly, those 57 percent of GMO-fearing shoppers would represent a signiďŹ cant cut to the revenue of biotech corporations, and of corporate farmers who use GMO seeds, and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear to what extent they will be able to make up the difference by squeezing processors, retailers and consumers.

Such ďŹ nancial concerns are part of why Big Biotech shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a part of the labeling discussion: it has too much at stake, and wields undue inďŹ&#x201A;uenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;outspending the grassroots support of Proposition 37, for example, by ďŹ ve to one. Corporate recusal is something the pro-GMO contingent should get behind, too.

Arguably, much of the grief felt by GMO supporters is inspired less by the technology itself than by the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been rolled out.

Big Biotechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of unpopular moves, including lawsuits against farmers and a one-time opposition to voluntary GMO labels, has long posed a problem to GMO supporters, who often include a little Monsanto-bashing in their proGMO arguments as a means of communicating that Monsanto does not equal GMO. Perhaps these pundits would agree that it makes sense to exclude corporations from organizing and funding discussions about how labels should look.

Concerns about corporate behavior and motivation can overshadow the examples of GM crops that exist not to sell more pesticides or otherwise generate corporate revenue. The ringspotresistant rainbow papaya, created at the University of Hawaii and Cornell University, was a publicsector effort that likely saved the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s papaya industry from being wiped out by the virus.

Efforts like these are easier to support, and wholesale anti-GMO ideologues should be clear about what, speciďŹ cally, they oppose. An honest discussion about labeling could help tease apart distinct issues often lumped together.

Critics of labeling frequently argue that a general label, along the lines of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contains GMOs,â&#x20AC;? communicates very little, because there are so many different kinds of GMOs. Perhaps the pro-GMO side could help create a system that tells us something meaningful.

Ramez Naam told me via email that he thinks GMO labels should be on productsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back labels, not on the front, as might happen if GMO-food supporters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to the table. He also suggested how such labels might readâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contains ingredients engineered to reduce pesticide useâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contains ingredients engineered to increase farm sustainability.â&#x20AC;?

Given the apparent inevitability of labeling, a meaningful system should be the goal for advocates on both sides of the issue.

Then, GMO skeptics could have their labels, GMO cheerleaders will have their nuance, and the will of the large majority of Americans will prevail. Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that sound like how democracy should work?

ALOHA David Nicholas at Ono’z, where food is served ‘island style’ on Guernevlle’s Main Street.

Spamalicious Ono’z brings Hawaiian flavors to Guerneville

BY JESSICA DUR TAYLOR

J

ocelyn Nelson’s blood may run Filipino, Chinese and Spanish, but make no mistake: she is Hawaiian, born and bred.

Growing up in Honolulu, she helped her mother in the family okazuya, a Japanese delicatessen that serves ready-made food. Tired of cleaning steam tables, she became a salesgirl when she turned 16, vowing never again to work with food.

Last June, Nelson broke her promise when she and husband Tim opened the Hawaiian restaurant Ono’z (translation: “delicious”), the latest addition to Guerneville’s gastronomically overhauled Main Street.

“My mom is in heaven, cracking up laughing,” Nelson tells me over the phone recently. Chatty and forthcoming, Nelson first came to Sonoma County thanks to Tim, “a third-generation river rat” who grew up in San Francisco and spent his summers on his grandmother’s walnut farm in Forestville.

For the Nelsons, life’s twists and turns are often filled with fateful significance. Had Tim’s speech course not been canceled, he might never have landed in Jocelyn’s drama class at Kap‘iolani Community College in Honolulu, where the two met in the ’70s.

Their decision to leave Hawaii was fueled in part by rock fever, and in part because they were spooked after two unrelated murders left them grieving the death of a close friend and having witnessed a brutal road-rage shooting.

And the decision to open a restaurant? “I had all this

Hawaiian artwork and nowhere to put it!” Nelson says, laughing. A few other signs pointed the way: they’d sold their construction business, left San Francisco for Guerneville and were itching to start something new.

Tired of “driving half an hour to get some decent fast food,” they opened a place similar to the delicatessen of Jocelyn’s childhood, where much of the food is prepared in advance. There are no plates; food is served “local island” style, in biodegradable to-go containers meant to be enjoyed at the beach or the river.

The menu reflects Hawaii’s cultural melting pot of bold Pacific Rim flavors. The barbecue pork, served Filipino-style, is marinated in white vinegar, garlic and sugar, and offset with spicy pickled peppers. The Chicken Dad’s Way barbecue, meanwhile, enjoys a marinade of French dressing and white wine, and a garnish of mango relish. Both are served with rice and salad (either the light spring mix with lime vinaigrette or a creamy olive-and-celery-flecked macaroni) for just 10 bucks.

For a taste of Japan, there’s the cold and crispy ramen noodle salad with mandarin oranges and green onions in a rice wine vinaigrette ($8), and Korea is represented by its fermented favorite, kimchi, which joins Spam in a delightful spicy fried rice ($10).

“Spam is our steak,” says Nelson, explaining that the canned ham “never went away” after it was popularized on the island during the lean years of World War II. “We have jalapeno-flavored Spam, garlic Spam, hot and spicy Spam.

We have definitely raised the bar with Spam.”

Perhaps the most iconic menu item, however, is the Hawaiian shaved ice ($4.50–$6.50), which comes in a dizzying array of flavors, including guava, lychee, papaya, coffee and even dill pickle.

Thirty years after leaving Oahu, Nelson still misses the place she will always call home. “Cooking keeps me connected to Hawaii,” she tells me. “In Hawaii, when you’re happy, you’re eating. And when you’re sad—you’re eating.”

Four Play With over 50 restaurants participating, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible to list all that the Taste of Petaluma has to offer. But for a sneak preview, here are some appe-teasers.

Speakeasy, a newcomer to the event, offers a cold melon soup shooter topped with crispy prosciutto and microgreens. Once the salty meat takes hold, the sweet, cool melon soup calms the aggressive flavor, making for an interesting twist on the classic combination.

At fellow newcomer Social Club, chunks of applewood-smoked pork shoulder are crisped up and garnished with heirloom tomato salad, busting with flavor at the peak of the season.

Corkscrew has a Europe-meets-Sonoma vibe, with a gorgeous bar fashioned to look like a flayed-out wine barrel. The pulledpork sliders are fine, but the chocolate truffles are divineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially when paired with a deep, dark red wine. Andyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen & Sushi Bar is more than just a sushi bar, though the satisfying deep-fried unagi, crab and avocado roll topped with unagi sauce (pictured) might indicate no need to expand the menu beyond its namesake. Andyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is also serving an interesting take on fries: mini corn sticks with sweet Thai chili sauce.

They look like lumpy french fries, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually corn kernels stuffed into wonton wrappers. Sweet, salty and fried just right.

Taste of Petaluma takes place Saturday, Aug. 24, at restaurants throughout downtown Petaluma. Check-in at Putnam Plaza. 129 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 11:30am. $40.

S

oaring across the Balverne label, a red-tailed hawk catches an updraft, wings spread wide. It wasn’t always so. Some 30 years back in the day, said red-tail was depicted in steep descent, talons grasping for prey—or the words “ Cabernet Sauvignon.”

Surely a fine symbol for the over-leveraged project’s steep decline into receivership, as is the newer, gentler version of Balverne’s rising from the ashes. The question is not, hey, aren’t you talking about a phoenix, not a red-tailed hawk? The question is, hey, why relaunch a failed wine brand?

Tricky question. The short and awkward answer, according to Windsor Oaks Vineyard proprietor Bob Stein, is because they were often confused with a different, highly successful brand. Stein, a creditor who ended up with the property in 1992, had no previous designs on owning a winery. To his credit, he traded in luxury home-site development rights for a Forever Wild designation from the Sonoma County Open Space District, while estate general manager Douglas Lumgair modernized the vineyards.

Today, 17 cultivars are grown in 50 blocks on 225 rolling acres, closely monitored by a viticulturist and a cadre of interns. With such variety, “it’s almost like a party!” says winemaker Margaret Davenport, who was invited to relaunch Balverne (much of the yield is sold to other wineries, who make some 40 Windsor Oaks vineyard designates) along with Doug Nalle, who launched the first vintage in 1979 as a young gun out of UC Davis.

After running a big show like Clos du Bois, as Davenport once did, “you get to try out a lot of coopers, and it makes a big difference,” she remarks. Indeed, the 2012 Russian River Valley Estate Reserve Chardonnay ($40) was barrel fermented but doesn’t hit you over the head with buttered lumber. Golden Delicious, candied lime, dried tropical fruit overtones lead to a cool, substantial palate of cider, with caramel in a supporting role. Also deftly played, the 2012 Estate Unoaked Chardonnay ($25) does not scream “ green apple” but rather whispers “pear cocktail” and “blanc de blancs.”

Just looking at a map, you wouldn’t think to plant Pinot here.

But with orange zest steeped in bright, early-ripeness Bing cherry, the 2012 Estate Reserve Pinot Noir ($50) is a silky, spicy, pretty thing. Still in barrel, the 2012 Red Blend promises serious sipping for the Cab crew. First, it needs a proprietary name, and they’re open to suggestions. Maybe they’ll take yet another cue from their mascot: “Scree-yah!”

RED-HEARTED BLUES Owner Laura van Galen onstage at the Fenix

in San Rafael.

finger-licking barbecued ribs.

Once again, after 22 years of helming the festival, he’s the genial host.

Headliners include the hellacious harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite and his band, plus singer, songwriter and guitarist Johnny Rawls, who grew up in Mississippi and learned to play guitar from his blind grandfather.

Also playing is Markus James, who combines down-home American blues with the music of Mali, and performs with drummer Kinney Kimbrough, son of legendary Mississippi bluesman Junior Kimbrough. The Hound Kings, an acoustic blues trio from San Francisco that includes Alabama-born Michael Benjamin, Scot Brenton and Anthony Paule, launch the fest at 2pm. Their show is free; James and Kimbrough are also free. What’s not to like?

Back in the 1970s when Bowker first arrived in Santa Rosa fresh out of L.A., where he had his own show, he thought he’d be in and out of town fast. “In this business, where rapid turnover is the name of the game, I never planned on a long stint here,” he says, his hands moving rhythmically across the control panel, the instrument he plays like a pro. (Rapid turnover indeed: just last week, KRSH-FM morning DJ Brian Griffith was let go from the station; Bowker, for the first time in years, takes over the morning slot this week.)

Born in prosaic Passaic, N.J., where the only blues that he could hear was broadcast on WNBJ, Bowker is all about the roots of the music. He loves the Delta sound and the echoes of Delta music he hears in local groups such as Blues Kitchen, the all-woman band, with Nancy Wenstrom, Sarah Baker and Jan Martinelli.

Blues Kitchen carries on the tradition of Ma Rainey, known as the “Mother of the Blues,” and the many blues sisters who have followed in her wake. Wenstrom, the band’s sultry lead singer and guitarist, hails from Texas and has performed for 40 years.

She first heard the blues played by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, later from Otis Rush, famous for bending his notes brilliantly, and Magic Sam, who learned to play by listening to records of Muddy Waters. Little by little, she fell in love with the music that came out of Mississippi.

“The blues is an elusive woman,” Wenstrom tells me at Sarah Baker’s tiny studio during a break in an afternoon rehearsal.

Strumming her guitar, she adds, “The blues hurt you like a woman, and they also make you feel real good like a woman.”

Baker, who plays keyboards and provides vocals, heard B. B. King and Rufus King growing up in both rural and urban Tennessee, her home state. “You would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to see and hear the blues in

singer, songwriter and guitarist Nick Gravenites, and Charlie Musselwhite, who plays a mean harmonica and who hosts and boasts his own show on the KRSH. With all that talent, Bowker never gets down about the blues for long, if only because his own show has a steady stream of loyal listeners.

He also sees hopeful signs close to home. Just the other day, he drove up to “Beverly Healdsburg,” as he calls it, to attend a free concert in the plaza by the North Mississippi Allstars. “The place was packed with the older wine crowd,” he tells me. “You know, the guys with the sweaters and the women fashionably attired. The blues isn’t their thing, but they were getting into it, starting to move their bodies. The blues are infectious and damned hard to resist. I went home feeling mighty pleased.”

Bowker’s good friend and fellow aficionado of the blues Sarah Baker shares his upbeat outlook, though she, too, mourns the closing of the Last Day Saloon where she performed for years.

“I think the blues are taking a downturn right now,” she tells me. “But they’ve taken downturns in the past and they’ve bounced back. The fact is that there are always blues lovers, just as there are always people who have the blues. The music will always speak to them and for them. It’ll always have an audience.”

Baker and her band, Blues Kitchen, perform from Sonoma to Alameda, Contra Costa to Clear Lake, and she doesn’t intend to stop now. “Some blues performers, like Tommy Castro and Roy Rogers, are doing very well, and of course so is B. B. King, who never goes out of style,” she says. “It’s often a matter of luck who succeeds and who doesn’t.

You have to persevere.”

This Labor Day, Bowker Family Productions brings the rollicking Sonoma County Blues Festival back again by popular demand to Lagunitas Brewery in Petaluma.

If Bowker’s regular Sunday show serves up a steady diet of biscuits and gravy, the Sept. 2 show—the “Coahoma to Sonoma County” festival—offers scrumptious,

Memphis,” she tells me. She adds, “The blues are not downer music.

Rather, they provide a way out of feeling bad.”

Baker, Wenstrom and Jan Martinelli, who plays standup bass, perform every variety of the blues, from Sippie Wallace and Bessie Smith to Miles Davis and Horace Silver. They also offer their own originals: Baker’s “Use it or Lose It” and Wenstrom’s “Brickyard Blues.”

Martinelli began to perform in junior high. She had her own band that interpreted songs by Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Cream.

“Blues Kitchen fans are mostly 40-plus,” she tells me. “We always have a great audience when we play at Armando’s in Martinez, but we’ve also had good listeners at the Redwood Cafe in Cotati.”

For Bowker, the blues are an untamed force. “I like the blues raw,” he tells me in a tone of voice that’s raspy and smooth all at the same time. He adds, “I first heard the blues as a kid, and they really scared me. Howlin’ Wolf gave me goose bumps. He still does. The blues still scare me.”

No mention of local blues is complete without the longrunning Russian River Blues Festival, which for over three decades has brought the music of the dark juke joint to the sunny shores of the river in Guerneville.

This year’s lineup includes Boz Scaggs, Robert Cray, Los Lobos and the California Honeydrops.

Once-a-year festivals are one thing; once-a-week jam sessions are another. John Ranis plays rhythm ’n’ blues on the guitar when he’s not selling insurance at Allstar West in Petaluma. The Sonoma County Blues Society, a nonprofit that he’s often carried on his own back, aims to keep the blues alive. “It’s an indigenous American art form,” Ranis tells me proudly. No one is more enthusiastic about the blues than he, and no one is more supportive of new talent.

Every Wednesday night from 7 to 11, Ranis hosts a blues jam at Society: Culture House in Santa Rosa. To attend, one need not be from Mississippi, play like B. B. King or sing like Janiva Magness, the woman who lived the ) 20

blues as an orphan in foster homes before she learned to sing them.

Ranis welcomes one and all, even if one’s musical skill is just finger snapping and hand clapping. This September, performers include Norman Greenbaum and the Mike Marino Band. Right now, Ranis is especially excited about the two young musicians who make up the Honey Dippers. “Corey Herve and Gonz Ochoa play because they love to play, not because they’re making big money,” he tells me. “For new blood in the blues scene, they’re phenomenal.”

Dozens of locals—Bill Noteman, Sonny Lowe, Jody Counter, Levi Lloyd, the Scallywags and the Wilson-Hukill Blues Revue— express their love for the blues almost every night of the week, from the Willowbrook in Petaluma and the Tradewinds in Cotati to Aubergine in Sebastopol and the Blue Heron in Duncans Mills.

Wineries showcase blues bands, too, and on KRCB, Mary Carroll hosts her heavenly program Lady Spins the Blues, with live musicians like Sarah Baker.

books the acts at the Fenix.

Whenever the local scene finds itself in the doldrums, Mississippi bluesmen come to the rescue. For his own blues fix, Bowker travels to Mississippi twice a year. He always comes home rejuvenated, and he always brings the blues back to the North Bay. “This year’s festival at Lagunitas will take listeners on a journey across the South, up Highway 61 to the Bay Area and the whole world,” he tells me. “People who come will be treated to a decidedly Mississippi feeling they won’t soon forget.”

Groovy, Man

What is this American Idol and America’s Got Talent garbage on TV nowadays? I may be old, but these shows are just a pile of doggie doo-doo. What ever happened to the good ol’ days of contest shows that had liveliness and funny people? The Gong Show. Now that was a great ’70s show that persevered for many years. A contestant would perform an act before a panel of judges, who then decided whether or not to kill the performer’s chances by ringing a gong. Now The Gong Show comes to Sonoma County, where contestants can sign up and vie for the Golden Gong Award. The good times are back on Tuesday, Aug. 27, at Bergamot Alley.

328-A Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg. Free.

Hey man, have you checked out Mother Hips’ new album, Behind Beyond? It makes you feel gooood, man. Perfect ’70s nostalgia, am I right? Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono are the real deal, man. I mean, this band is two decades old but they’re still singin’, rockin’ and makin’ music. This stuff is actually heavy, man. They talk about political junk and real issues, but in a soothing, makes-you-wanna-zone-out way. Seriously, the songs talk to you, man.

“Jefferson Army” is heavy with politics, but hypnotic and relaxing at the same time.

“Behind Beyond” gives off the same vibe that makes you forget all your troubles, man, and just go with the flow. Ride that trippy wave, man, when Mother Hips perform at the summer concert series on Sunday, Aug. 25, at Long Meadow Ranch.

Arts Ideas SLITHERING HEIGHTS Joyce Maynard consulted with real-life Marinites who came of age in the 1970s for proper color.

Wolf Girls

Joyce Maynard’s latest takes on Mt. Tam, serial killers and adolescent angst BY LEILANI CLARK

M

t. Tamalpais is known the world over as a destination for a dose of nature and spirituality. But in 1979, the mountain, about which Gary Snyder once wrote “[it] gives us a crystal moment of being and a breath of the sky, and only asks us to hold the whole world dear,” became something else altogether:

the hunting ground for a walking terror nicknamed the Trailside Killer.

It was this story, of a serial killer who roamed the mountain for more than a year and killed at least five women hikers, that provided the narrative spine for Joyce Maynard’s latest novel, After Her. Maynard’s home in Mill Valley— where she lived before a recent move to Oakland to be with her new husband—looks out over the mountain. “It was a big presence

in my life for 17 years,” Maynard says of Mt. Tam, on the phone from a New Hampshire highway as she heads to a friend’s wedding.

“I had been aware that there had been a serial killer at large on those trails many years before, but I didn’t live in California then. It was a haunting knowledge that stayed with me.”

After Her is the fictional tale of two girls, ages 11 and 13, who live on the side of a mountain rocked by murders committed by the Sunset Strangler. The plot is

loosely based on a true story told to Maynard by two sisters who attended a one-day writing workshop at her home. The sisters, now in their 40s and living in Ukiah and Novato, were the daughters of the homicide detective originally in charge of the Trailside Killer investigation, and they believed their father’s early death of lung cancer was caused by his deep grief at being unable to ultimately solve the case. (The killer, David Carpenter, was caught in another jurisdiction and eventually sentenced to life in San Quentin.)

A former New York Times columnist, Maynard is probably best known for her 1998 memoir At Home in the World, which revealed her nine-month affair with J. D. Salinger when she was 18 and he 53. When Maynard sold the letters written to her by Salinger, she was roundly condemned for breaking an “unwritten law” and exposing the private idiosyncrasies of the famously reclusive author.

At Home in the World is being rereleased by Picador on Sept. 3; Maynard appears at Book Passage on Aug. 26 and Copperfield’s Books in Petaluma on Aug. 27.

“It’s a book that’s close to my heart,” explains Maynard. “When it was first published 15 years ago, it was enormously battled and condemned. I’m very happy to see it reissued in a different climate.”

Beyond the Salinger connection, Maynard has forged a sizable writing career. Labor Day, her bestselling 2010 novel, is currently being adapted into a film starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin by Jason Reitman, the director of Juno. Over her 40-year career, Maynard has authored 15 books and countless magazine articles, including “Domestic Affairs,” a syndicated column that ran over the course of her first marriage, a relationship that produced three children but ended in divorce.

The 59-year-old author describes

Joyce Maynard appears Tuesday, Aug. 27, at Copperfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Books (140 Kentucky St., Petaluma; 7pm; free; 707.762.0563) and at a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Literary Luncheonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Monday, Aug. 26, at Book Passage (51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera; noon; $55 includes lunch and signed book; 415.927.0960).

After Her as a coming-of-age thriller, with a theme inspired in part by one of her favorite movies, Stand by Me, and her desire to provide an opportunity for two girls to have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonderful adventureâ&#x20AC;? along the lines of River Phoenix and his friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really set out to do this, but adolescence is kind of a goinginto-the-woods experience, and this book is very much about the combination of thrill, fascination, anticipation and fear of sexuality experienced by a lot of young girls at that age,â&#x20AC;? she explains. Maynard drew on her own youth growing up in New Hampshire, describing herself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;girl who was always looking for trouble,â&#x20AC;? a trait shared by her latest novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrator.

Maynardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous books have an East Coast setting; this is her ďŹ rst set in California. Her research included an immersion in the history and culture of late 1970s Marin, a much more economically diverse community than the privileged enclave it has become.

Laura and Janet, the two real sisters, ďŹ lled up a notebook with memories of their life on Mt. Tamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;down to small details about the clothing and music that they lovedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;mixed with memories of their detective father. In the book, the main characters are children of a divorced household; they live with their mother, with little money, no television or parental guidance, and easy access to the wilds of the woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted them to have some sort of wolf-girl life,â&#x20AC;? says Maynard.

In the end, while After Her takes on the complexities of family life and the sister dynamic, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also deeply about placeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;speciďŹ cally, the mountain that looms over Mill Valley and the San Francisco Bay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my homage to Marin County,â&#x20AC;? adds Maynard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the outdoors and the wilderness around the county, and I really wanted to bring that to life on the pages of my book.â&#x20AC;?

Cotati actress featured in ‘Fruitvale Station’

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

A

ctress Marjorie Crump-Shears, of Cotati, has been answering the phone all of her life—but never with a movie director, camera operators and crew of filmmakers standing around watching her do it.

But last year, there she was, shooting a scene for the acclaimed film Frutivale Station, about the life and death of Oscar Grant.

In the scene, Grant calls up his grandmother Bonnie (CrumpShears) just hours before he was tragically shot to death on a BART platform in Oakland.

“It’s quite short,” she says of the scene. “I had to pick up the phone and answer it. I did this several times. And then Ryan Coogler, the

director, came up and quietly said, ‘So . . . you know, when you pick up the phone? You have to press the button that says Talk.’”

“There are so many little things that one has to think about,” she laughs, “things we kind of take for granted in every day life. But I’d never answered a phone in front of a camera before,” she laughs, “with all of these people standing around looking!”

Known primarily as a Bay Area stage actress, Crump-Shears was last seen in the North Bay in Intimate Apparel at Sixth Street Playhouse, directed by her daughter, Bronwen Shears. CrumpShears won the part after a single audition with director Coogler, who offered her the role on the spot.

“I was stunned,” Crump-Shears admits. “I said, ‘Are you kidding?

Really?’”

The film features Michael B. Jordan (The Wire, Friday Night Lights) as Grant, and Oscar-winner Octavia Spenser (The Help) as Grant’s mother. Once she got over the jitters over working alongside an actress of Spenser’s renown, Crump-Shears says making the film was a remarkable and comfortable experience.

There was, she describes, a strong emphasis on realism during the shoot, which took place in Oakland, near where the event occurred.

“We were filming in an actual home in Oakland, of the same style that Oscar’s grandmother really had,” she says. “So it all felt very natural.”

Cinematic thrills aside, CrumpShears is proud of the film for the story it tells, digging into the real-life hopes, dreams, loves and mistakes of a man most Americans know only as a symbol, or as flash of video on the news.

“I think this movie is important,” she says. “Number one, it takes someone who was a victim and shows him as a human being. And it opens up the public’s eyes about this young man, who, on his death, had such a lot of media play. But nobody talked about who he was or where he came from. This movie does, and it does so beautifully.”

A Film Frenzy

Santa Rosa’s own 48-Hour Film Project

BY ANNA HECHT

I

t was Friday night. Pulling pieces of paper out of a hat, they received a genre, character, prop and piece of dialogue. Now they had no time to lose. Team Dropper had to put together a short film in just 48 hours.

Such was the hurried energy of this team, and many others around Sonoma County, when the 13th Annual 48-Hour Film Project last weekend put local filmmakers’ talents to the ultimate test.

The results are judged and screened this weekend.

Dropper Collective, one of the 15 teams representing Santa Rosa for the first time, includes Santa Rosa Junior College students Javier Martinez, Luc Londe, Chuck Starzenski, Sam Euston, Clay Atchison, Mario Morquecho, Athena Wheaton, Jonathan Morquecho, Miguel Sanchez, Sean Legier and Stephanie Shepherd.

Dropper Collective finished the final editing touches on Sunday. Eight is a drama about a reunion between a father and son after the son has been released from prison. Martinez says the time

constraint both helped and hindered the creative process.

“We had to think under pressure.

We had to quickly discard ideas that clearly did not work or were not interesting enough. It allowed us to move faster, and we didn’t have to linger too much on one idea,” he says, noting also that “our actors only had a couple of hours to memorize their lines and their characters. That was hard on our actors.”

At the screening, audiences will look for three recurring elements; each film must utilize a bandage, a former reality show contestant, and the line “Hold this. I’ll be right back.”

With the project ready for viewing, Martinez says his team now feels more confident about their chances of winning. “We think it turned out really good,” he says, “considering the time constraint and everything, and this being our first time competing in the contest.”

The 48-Hour films and winners are revealed on Saturday, Aug. 23, at Summerfield Cinemas. 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. $10. 8pm. 707.522.0719.

The Sons Shine on the Bay Salvador Santana, Miles Schon team up Like father like son, Salvador Santana (next of kin to Mr. “Oye Como Va” himself) pairs with Miles Schon (offspring of Neal from Santana and Journey) this Friday for a night of guitar strummin,’ smooth singin’ and an eclectic mix of sounds.

Though known mostly for his father, Salvador’s musical inheritance doesn’t stop there. With one grandfather blues pioneer Saunders King, and another famous violinist and mariachi bandleader Jose Santana, it’s clear that music runs in Santana’s veins.

Building on his ancestry, the keyboardist and composer fuses hip-hop, jazz, rock, Latin and other sounds into a style all his own.

Joining Salvador is musician and songwriter Miles Schon. Being the son of the guy who plays that epic guitar solo on “Don’t Stop Believin’” hasn’t stopped Miles from living out his own musical career. With a sound blending hard rock, blues, pop and R&B, Miles is a frequent performer in the Bay Area. Rooted in rock and roll, Schon grew up listening to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and, wouldn’t you know it, Carlos Santana.

The pair perform on Friday, Aug. 23, at George’s Nightclub (842 Fourth St., San Rafael; $12; 9pm; 415.226.0262) and Saturday, Aug. 24, at Silo’s (530 Main St., Napa; 8pm; $20-$25; 707.251.5833).—Anna Hecht

Bring a Parasol Curiosity satiated at analog invention Step right up! Come one, come all to the Wunderkammer, the steampunk celebration of mayhem and mischief. See death-defying feats of strength and ingenuity at the handcar races along the railroad tracks, painted ladies (and men) in full costume of a forgotten era in a parallel universe, and hear music, glorious music, fill the air like the Sirens’ song of mythology.

Not old enough to remember the ancient Greek tales or 19th-century futurology?

There’s still plenty of wonder and amazement in the children’s midway, with bounce houses of rare breed, a true Ferris wheel and the fantasmic Sonoma County Children’s Museum.

And what celebration of imagined society would be complete without a full stage of music? The Church Marching Band makes merriment, and jubilation flows from the main stage courtesy of Araan Harris & the Farm Band, Dginn, Baby Seal Club and Mr. December and the Local Honey Swing Band, and the Hubbub Club makes more music most magnificently whilst traipsing about.

Splendorous consumables abound, including dogs which are hot, cicles that are pop and artisan candies from Confounding Confections. Bubbly brew fermented by Lagunitas Brewery or Revive Kombucha provide a bodily buzz. The Wunderkammer goes old-timey on Saturday, Aug. 25, in Railroad Square, Santa Rosa. 11am–6pm. $10.

BEIT AYIN brings you

BY ROB BREZSNY

For the week of August 21

ARIES (March 21–April 19) An Indian student named Sankalp Sinha has invented the Good Morning Sing N Shock. It’s an alarm clock that plays you a song and gives you a small electrical jolt when you hit the snooze button. The voltage applied is far less intense than, say, a taser, and is designed to energize you rather than disable you. I encourage you to seek out wake-up calls like the kind this device administers, Aries: fairly gentle, yet sufficiently dramatic to get your attention.

The alternative would be to wait around for blind fate to provide the wake-up calls. They might be a bit more strenuous.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

If you google the statement “I can change overnight,” most of the results that come up are negative, like “It’s not something I can change overnight” or “I don’t think I can change overnight.” But there’s one google link to “I can change overnight.” It’s a declaration made by Taurus painter Willem de Kooning. He was referring to how unattached he was to defining his work and how easy it was for him to mutate his artistic style. I wouldn’t normally advise you Tauruses to use “I can change overnight” as your battle cry. But for the foreseeable future you do have the power to make some rather rapid and thorough transformations.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) “The artist is by necessity a collector,” said graphic designer Paul Rand. “He accumulates things with the same ardor and curiosity with which a boy stuffs his pockets. He borrows from the sea and from the scrap heap; he takes snapshots, makes mental notes and records impressions on tablecloths and newspapers. He has a taste for children’s wall scrawling as appreciative as that for prehistoric cave painting.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Gemini, this would be an excellent approach for you in the coming days. You’re in a phase when you can thrive by being a gatherer of everything that attracts and fascinates you. You don’t need to know yet why you’re assembling all these clues. That will be revealed in good time.

Can you remember the last time you bumped up against a limitation caused by your lack of knowledge? What did it feel like? I expect that sometime soon you will have that experience again. You may shiver with worry as you contemplate the potential consequences of your continued ignorance. But you may also feel the thrill of hungry curiosity rising up in you. If all goes well, the fear and curiosity will motivate you to get further educated. You will set to work on a practical plan to make it happen.

LEO (July 23–August 22) “My story isn’t sweet and harmonious like invented stories,” wrote novelist Herman Hesse. “It tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.” As interesting as Hesse’s declaration is, let’s not take it as gospel.

Let’s instead envision the possibility that when people reduce the number of lies they tell themselves, their lives may become sweeter and more harmonious as a result. I propose that exact scenario for you right now, Leo. There might be a rough adjustment period as you cut back on your self-deceptions, but eventually your folly and bewilderment will diminish as the sweet harmony grows.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Novelist James Joyce once articulated an extreme wish that other writers have probably felt but never actually said. “The demand that I make of my reader,” said Joyce, “is that he should devote his whole life to reading my works.”

Was he being mischievous? Maybe. But he never apologized or issued a retraction. Your assignment, Virgo, is to conjure up your own version of that wild desire: a clear statement of exactly what you really, really want in all of its extravagant glory. I think it’ll be healthy for you to identify this pure and naked longing.

(P.S. I’m not implying that you should immediately try to get it fulfilled, though. For now, the important thing is knowing what it is.)

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Now and then a British Libra named Lloyd Scott dresses up in

funny costumes while competing in long-distance races. He does it to raise money for charity. In the 2011 London Marathon, he wore a nine-foot snail outfit for the duration of the course. It took him 27 days to finish. I suggest you draw inspiration from his heroic effort. From a cosmic perspective, it would make sense for you to take your time as you engage in amusing activities that benefit your fellow humans.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

What will you do now that you have acquired more clout and visibility? Will you mostly just pump up your self-love and bask in the increased attention? There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. But if those are the only ways you cash in on your added power, the power won’t last. I suggest you take advantage of your enhanced influence by engaging in radical acts of magnanimity. Perform good deeds and spread big ideas. The more blessings you bestow on your fellow humans, the more enduring your new perks will be.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) You’ve been pretty wild and uncontained lately, and that’s OK. I’ve loved seeing how much permission you’ve given yourself to ramble free, experiment with the improbable and risk being a fool. I suspect that history will judge a majority of your recent explorations as tonic. But now, Sagittarius, the tenor of the time is shifting. To continue being in alignment with your highest good, I believe you will have to rein in your wanderlust and start attending to the care and cultivation of your power spot. Can you find a way to enjoy taking on more responsibility?

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) “The person who can’t visualize a horse galloping on a tomato is an idiot,” said the founder of Surrealism, writer André Breton. I wouldn’t go so far as to call such an imagination-deprived soul an “idiot,” but I do agree with the gist of his declaration. One of the essential facets of intelligence is the ability to conjure up vivid and creative images in one’s mind. When daily life has grown a bit staid or stuck or overly serious, this skill becomes even more crucial. Now is one of those times for you, Capricorn. If you have any trouble visualizing a horse galloping on a tomato, take measures to boost the fertility of your imagination.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18)

“I want to be with those who know the secret things, or else alone,” wrote the eccentric ecstatic poet Rainer Maria Rilke. That wouldn’t be a good rule for you Aquarians to live by all the time. To thrive, you need a variety of cohorts and allies, including those who know and care little about secret things. But I suspect that for the next few weeks, an affinity for those who know secret things might suit you well. More than that, they may be exactly the accomplices who will help you attend to your number one assignment: exploratory holy work in the depths.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) To launch your horoscope, I’ll steal a line from a Thomas Pynchon novel: A revelation trembles just beyond the threshold of your understanding. To continue your oracle, I’ll borrow a message I heard in my dream last night: A breakthrough shivers just beyond the edge of your courage. Next, I’ll use words I think I heard while eavesdropping on a conversation at Whole Foods: If you want to cook up the ultimate love feast, you’re still missing one ingredient. And to finish this oracle, Pisces, I’ll say that if you want to precipitate the trembling revelation, activate the shivering breakthrough and acquire the missing ingredient, imitate what I’ve done in creating this horoscope.

Assume the whole world is offering you useful clues, and listen closely.
