Keep ’em Separated Community separators were created by a ballot measure 20 years ago to protect specific areas of farmland and open space between and around Sonoma County’s towns and cities, in order to create greenbelts around the towns. The ballot measure was approved by over 70 percent of the voters.

Measure K, the Community Separator Protection Ordinance, will, if approved by the voters this fall, protect 53,576 acres of rural land from urban sprawl.

Not only will this help maintain the unique identity and distinct character of each city or town, it will also help protect agricultural land, open space, watersheds, groundwater-recharge areas, wildlife habitat and corridors.

And by protecting our air, water and soil, community separators help to provide a better quality of life for all Sonoma County inhabitants. For further information on Measure K, visit www.keepcommunityseparators.com.

Urban growth boundaries (UGBs), passed by individual cities, and community separators, throughout the county, are complementary. The UGBs are expiring and will be renewed on different timelines by each city. Cotati voters will be voting on Measure Q this fall, to renew their existing urban growth boundary for another 30 years.

For information on Measure Q, see www.cotatiugb.org.

As a 20-year resident of Cotati, I love our small town, and also the beautiful, diverse ecosystems of Sonoma County, from oak woodlands and redwoods to meadows and wetlands, and enjoy the wide variety of foods available from local farms.

Vote Yes on K! If you vote in Cotati, Vote Yes on Q, too!

Tending the Fire Three years after Andy Lopez’s death, what has changed? BY SUSAN C. LAMONT

L

ast Saturday was the third anniversary of the killing of Andy Lopez by Sheriff’s Deputy Erick Gelhaus. Friends, activists and members of the community gathered to honor his memory and rededicate themselves to changing a system that finds this acceptable and exonerates the killer.

What has changed and what has not in those three years?

The empty lot in Roseland where he was shot is one of the bright spots in this grim story. A memorial at the site is tended by the community, where gatherings have been held in Andy’s name.

Community meetings were conducted to transform the empty lot.

Promised a park 28 years ago, the community will finally get one, with the price tag being the death of one of its own.

Law enforcement improvements are more difficult. Responding to justifiably angry protests over Andy’s killing by young Latino students, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors created the Community and Local Law Enforcement Task Force. The task force helped create the Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach.

Many people in Sonoma County think “problem solved.” But it’s really just a board asking a task force to make recommendations to create another office to create another board to make more recommendations, with no force of law, which can be ignored by the sheriff. Recently, the head of one such board in Sacramento resigned saying that such an entity cannot meet community expectations.

And we had an “independent” investigation, didn’t we? But District Attorney Jill Ravitch hired William Lewinski, a law enforcement consultant and expert witness who sells himself to municipalities that want officers declared innocent after they’re involved in shootings.

Sheriff Steve Freitas has promoted Gelhaus for a job well done.

Some students at Santa Rosa Junior College and community members declare Gelhaus’ continued presence as a public and mental health crisis for traumatized youth in affected communities.

Some seeds require a fire to sprout. The many protests across the country against killings by law enforcement are part of the wildfire that can release seeds of a new culture around law enforcement.

Politicians have learned well how to put out those fires through bureaucracy. It is our job to keep them lit. It requires community involvement to make any change real.

Paper THE

KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON In addition to staging excellent plays and musicals, Cinnabar Theater is good at nonprofit fundraising. It has to be.

Hat in Hand

Nonprofit status, sponsors keeps theater alive in the North Bay BY DAVID TEMPLETON

‘T

he climate for nonprofit arts organizations right now is extremely difficult,” says Diane Dragone, executive director of Cinnabar Theater in Petaluma. “As businesses—and we are businesses—nonprofit theaters are always struggling.”

We hear it all the time, usually

at curtain speeches before a show. An artistic director or other representative of the theater company tells you there will be an intermission, asks you to turn off your cell phone, and then reminds you—here it is—that ticket sales are not enough to cover the costs of the production you are about to see. Please consider making an additional donation on your way out.

How much of a nonprofit theater company is “theater” and

how much is “nonprofit”?

Operating out of an old schoolhouse just off Petaluma Boulevard, Cinnabar is one of 18 theater companies in Sonoma and Napa counties that owns or rents its own theater space. At least 15 other companies exist in the same area and are either nomadic or only operate seasonally, as with summertime Shakespeare companies. As Dragone suggests, there really is an unfortunate public perception that nonprofit

theaters are, by definition, supposed to be broke—which may come from the way most theaters are always begging for money.

But the backstage truth is a little more complicated than it sounds. “It is a known fact that the theater arts in America, and the arts in general, do not pay for themselves,” says Dragone.

“That’s the reason theaters are all nonprofits. In Europe, the government subsidizes theaters, and people pay a higher tax to make that happen. What the people get for that tax is affordable theater. In America, since we don’t have that, we are put in the position of having to charge more for tickets and having to ask art supporters for money all the time.”

Cinnabar—now in its 44th year of presenting live operas, musicals and plays, and moving into its final weekend of the drama The Quality of Life—has established itself as a small theater producing consistently high-quality theater with a strong performing-arts training program for youth that many see as one of the most significant local breeding grounds for the next generation of theatrical talent. To pay for all of that, Cinnabar has built a strong cadre of individual sponsors, many of whom take it upon themselves to underwrite at least one show every season, donating between $3,500 and $10,000 to make that production possible.

“As businesses,” says Dragone, “every theater group I know is struggling one way or another, and we all have to depend on the audience and our surrounding community—because even a soldout run of a hit show might not be enough to keep the doors open.”

Generally speaking, Cinnabar has done a solid job operating as an arts organization and as a business, with a small paid staff and a core of volunteers, all underscoring a solid internal understanding of what its audience wants, and how to maintain the infrastructure that makes that possible.

“Cinnabar is small,” says Dragone. “That’s part of our brand—a small theater doing

adds Bartolucci, “so we know we can’t get 100 percent of our budget from ticket sales. We still have to rely on the kindness of, not strangers, but supporters. . . .

Just not as much as some companies do.”

Spreckels Theater Company, which operates two theater spaces out of the Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park, though definitely part of a nonprofit agency, is not a nonprofit in the traditional sense.

“We’re a whole lot different from other theater companies in the area, because we’re a department of the city of Rohnert Park,” says managing director Gene Abravaya. “We are funded by the city, so many of the concerns that other theaters have, we don’t. That said, we have a budget that must be approved each year by the city council, and we are responsible for operating within our means.”

A piece of that budget calls for the theater company—which is part of an overall communitycenter operation that includes a significant rental arm—to earn a certain amount of money each year from a combination of rentals, ticket prices and fundraisers.

“We operate with the idea that our shows are a community service and, as such, are not required to charge more than $26 a seat,” Abravaya says.

Compare the $26 ticket price for Titanic to 6th Street Playhouse’s $35 maximum ticket price for its upcoming musical Red Hot Mama, or Lucky Penny’s $38 maximum price for this December’s Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical.

That price cap assures that, for a theater of its size, Spreckels is among the most affordable in the North Bay. “That’s part of our mission,” Abravaya says, “to present theater as a community service, and as such to make it as affordable as possible for everyone.

“Personally,” he adds, “I think that’s what every theater tries to do—but each one has to accomplish that according to whatever challenges they happen to have.”

D EBRI EF ER Three Years Gone Sonoma criminal justice activists recently memorialized the third anniversary of Andy Lopez’s shooting with renewed demands that Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas account for the findings of a 2000 advisory report from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. The federal report made numerous recommendations to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office on how it should improve its policing protocols and, by extension, its civil rights standing in the community and the jail it runs.

In this latest push for police reform, the local coalition of reform advocates have leveraged the newly constituted Sonoma County’s Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach, and sent the five-point demand list to new department head Jerry Threet. He is the county’s first independent monitor and took his post in March.

Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Spencer Crum says in an email that the sheriff’s office “has implemented most, if not all, of these recommendations” over the past 16 years and highlighted efforts at gender and ethnic diversity as he noted that “we continually train on cultural diversity, domestic violence, substance abuse and de-escalation/ diffusion tactics.”

Crum also says the department now mandates crisisintervention training, and adds, “We continually review our use of force policy and recently we found a deputy exceeded the use of force policy and he is no longer with us and is under review for criminal charges,” he wrote. “This was done proactively by our department with no complaint filed.”

professional-level shows. We could possibly make more money by renting out the stage to other companies, but then we risk diluting our brand, should audiences confuse the show we produce with the shows our renters might be doing. Our brand is too important to risk that.”

Every nonprofit theater in the North Bay shares many of the same challenges. But each finds its own ways to meet those challenges.

“One thing that sets us apart from a lot of others is that we don’t have any paid employees,” says Taylor Bartolucci, co-founder and artistic director of Napa’s Lucky Penny productions, which became a nonprofit in 2011. The company opened its own 100seat space, the Lucky Penny Community Arts Center, in January 2015, and is getting ready to open a run of The Miracle Worker. “Most companies of our size have at least one or two people on staff. That means that Barry [Martin] and I do a lot of the work, probably spending more time here than we do at our fulltime jobs.”

One motivation for that, says Bartolucci, is to allow Lucky Penny to buck the trend of most nonprofit theaters who aggressively remind audiences that only a half or less of their operating costs come from ticket sales. Though Lucky Penny has received a number of individual donations since opening—including targeted gifts to allow the company to install seats, air conditioning and new PA system—the majority of its slim operating budget is supported through revenues from productions, says Martin, cofounder and managing director.

“I never liked the feeling of having to be constantly asking, asking, asking for money,” he says, while allowing that the company does still depend on a certain amount of contributed income.

“Our model is to try to keep costs down, and quality high, so we can earn a larger percentage of what we need.”

“But we also want to keep tickets prices as low as possible,”

Dining WELL STOCKED The Kitchen Collective comes with top-of-the-line appliances and a pantry loaded with all the basics.

Supper Club

Kitchen Collective envisions a shared space for cooks who want to get their chef on BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY

T

he sharing economy has brought us shared homes, shared automobiles, shared working spaces and even shared dog care. Will a shared professional kitchen be next? Napa entrepreneur Garret Murphy believes it will.

The founder of Napa’s new Kitchen Collective, Murphy enthusiastically describes the venture as a cooking club with a professional kitchen equipped with the latest gadgets and stocked with staple ingredients.

The impressive facility, located in an industrial area outside downtown Napa, also features a dining area for cooking

classes and demos, a cookbook library, a fireplace and plenty of additional spaces for mingling and hosting events. Walking around the kitchen, Murphy points at the massive Montague range stove, the spacious freezer and the batches of duck fat and sourdough starters available to those who rent the space.

The idea of culinary hubs isn’t

new to the Bay Area. Forage Kitchen, an events and cooking space for chefs, recently opened in Oakland, and La Cocina in San Francisco offers a fully equipped professional kitchen and a business incubator for members, primarily women from immigrant communities. Murphy’s idea, however, is different.

Instead of offering business tools and guidance for food entrepreneurs or professional cooks, the Kitchen Collective caters to the passionate foodies and cooking enthusiasts who’ve always dreamt of playing with a performance stove, a high-end food processor and a dizzying array of flours and butter varieties. Members get access to the kitchen and will be able to host a dinner party or practice a complicated recipe, alone or with assistance from the collective’s staff.

“Instead of joining a country club because you like tennis, you join a cooking club since you like to cook,” explains Murphy. “You’ll have a support staff and chefs guiding you, and all the tools you need to cook a delicious meal you might have tried in a restaurant.”

Murphy was born in Boston but grew up in Paris, and attended the Ferrandi French School of Culinary Arts. He moved back to the United States in 1985 and worked as a pastry chef in hotels in Miami, Newport Beach and Los Angeles, and then moved to Napa Valley to become a consultant at Auberge du Soleil and Meadowood. He later opened Napa Valley Ovens in Calistoga before working for the Chateau Potelle winery for six years.

It took Murphy 10 years to realize his vision for the Kitchen Collective. It was inspired by a similar model he once saw in San Sebastian, Spain, on a family trip.

“A private club for a hundred families, with a commercial kitchen, a bunch of communal tables,” he says. “I loved it, but it needed to be Americanized.”

into play with a more interactive, experiential approach. The space will feature TV monitors where cooking classes by chefs can be shown live, and video cameras so members can show off their cooking skills in real time and connect with family members and friends, Murphy presumes, as they slice and dice. Restaurant pop-ups, seminars and chef lectures are also in the works.

“My main dream is to create a new concept that will be really embraced by millennials as they get older,” Murphy says.

Those millennials better have the funds. Full membership is $250 a month, with a one-time initiation fee of $2,500; a “social membership” offers access to all the events but not the kitchen for $150 a month and a $1,500 initiation fee.

The Kitchen Collective has a handful of founding members and will open to the public in January.

“I’ve been cooking for a long time and thought the format was very intriguing,” says founding member Clark Cunningham, vice president for a Sacramentobased tech consulting firm. “The open concept of how the physical environment is structured, coupled with the notion of pulling in a variety of influences and disciplines from professional chefs and other members was very appetizing.”

This month, Cunningham put the membership to use by hosting a brunch for a dozen friends and serving them dishes he cooked with the help of a Kitchen Collective sous chef.

Is the Kitchen Collective a necessity or a shared-economy luxury? Clearly, it’s the latter. But it sounds like a delicious one.

“It’s a chance to share,” Cunningham says. “Culinarily, socially and emotionally, through the shared love of great food, incredible libations and great company.”

Come for the

The creepy-crawlies in your Cabernet

BY JAMES KNIGHT

T

hose eyes. I’ll never forget those eyes. They were a frog’s eyes, but still—the horror, the horror.

It’s around this time, every October, that I remember. The blood-orange sun had set, and I was working into the night, dragging the hose from one tank to another for that evening’s pump-over routine. But the last tank had just got started fermenting. And as the stew of grapes and juice and material other than grapes (MOG) began frothing and swirling into a vortex, I saw a little frog, hanging onto a clump of grape skins and staring back at me. Was he saying “Help me” or “It’s too late for me”? I offered the little fellow a paddle and implored him to grab on, but he sank in a vat of Zinfandel as red and frothy as hot lava, still staring at me as he went down to his doom.

It was like the fable of the scorpion and the frog, except that instead of “It’s my nature,” all I could say was, “Sorry, dude, I’m just the harvest intern.”

“You didn’t save me,” the frog replied. “You will have bad sulfides for seven years.”

A luckier little fellow was a mouse I spotted perched atop a cartload of rain-soaked grapes in Germany. A pointy-eared critter out of some fairy-tale illustration, Herr Maus looked perfectly pleased with himself—until I called attention to him, and the farmer gently pitched the mouse off the cart before he got dumped headfirst into the crusher.

Equally lucky was the gangly, green praying mantis scooped by a watchful intern off the sorting line destined for high-priced Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Not so lucky or plucky was the intern at another winery, who fled the job in horror after facing a daily stream of earwigs crawling over the grapes. That year, it was earwigs; another, it was the dread drosophila, an invasive fruit fly that causes vinegar aromas in wines.

Some wineries have ultra-modern optical sorting devices that, it’s claimed, bump everything but perfectly ripe grapes off the line.

Others harvest by machine, throwing everything in the mix. But even hand-picked grapes harbor bugs both good and bad—spiders being the good ones. I try to lend them a hand when I spot them attempting to wobble out.

It is our nature, after all, as winemakers and consumers. Each vintage, innumerable critters and creepy-crawlies find themselves suspended in fermentation, slowly settling out in the dregs of the wine. But don’t worry. Aside from the odd drosophila or ladybug invasion, they say that no trace really remains in the wine you buy by the bottle. Except their itty-bitty ghosts.

Bay Area investment fuels America’s fracking boom—and pipeline protests BY WILL PARRISH

BATTLE LINES AND PIPELINES The Dakota Access Pipeline’s crossing of sacred Sioux land in North and South Dakota has became a flashpoint of national opposition.

M

ill Valley’s Shelterpoint Business Center occupies a narrow strip of asphalt between Richardson Bay and Highway 101, roughly five miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. In the back of the office complex stands a tan building with floor-toceiling windows that offer sweeping views of Mt. Tamalpais’ grassy southeastern slopes. This is the headquarters of SPO Partners, the North Bay’s largest hedge fund.

The serene sophistication of this setting belies the nature of SPO Partners’ business. The $5.2 billion investment firm is among the country’s leading financial backers of oil and natural gas fracking. Its web

of financial connections tie it directly to the country’s most controversial infrastructure project—the $3.7 billion, 1,134mile Dakota Access Pipeline— and even Republican Party presidential candidate Donald

Trump’s economic policy team.

SPO Partners is the largest investor in Oasis Petroleum of Houston, Texas, which controls more than 400,000 acres within the Bakken and Three Forks oil basins of North Dakota and Montana. Oasis is working to complete a 19-mile oil transmission system from its North Dakota petroleum handling facility to the Dakota Access Pipeline, thus positioning it to supply roughly one-ninth of the pipeline’s estimated 470,000 barrels of daily crude oil deliveries, records with the North Dakota Public Service

Commission show.

The Dakota Access Pipeline originates in the Bakken oil patch and traverses North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa, and ends in Illinois, linking to transmission routes to the East Coast and Gulf Coast. For several months, indigenous people, environmentalists and Great Plains residents have protested the project because it threatens water quality and myriad sacred sites of the Standing Rock Sioux.

It will also contribute to the global climate crisis.

“Certainly Oasis Petroleum’s hedge fund investors will make

The Money Pipeline But the Mill Valley hedge fund’s North Dakota oil investment is only one tributary to a river of investment capital flowing from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Dakota Access Pipeline and the associated fracking boom. These investors include other hedge and pension funds, as well as San Francisco–based Wells Fargo. The bank was the largest U.S.-based financier of oil and gas production and infrastructure as of 2014, according to a presentation given

by Wells Fargo executive vice president Mike Johnson.

A recent report from the nonprofit Food & Water Watch notes that 38 banks, Wells Fargo among them, have directly financed the controversial Dakota Access pipeline. The financial sector’s stake in the project helps reveal “the tangle of interests” fueling the United States’ ongoing dependence on fossil fuels, said Food & Water Watch senior researcher Hugh MacMillan, chief author of the report.

“When you see the kinds of financial institutions backing the pipeline, it shows the power of the forces the tribes in North Dakota are going up against,” he says.

OIL MONEY SPO Partners’ unassuming location in Mill Valley belies its role as one of the country’s largest investors in oil and natural gas fracking, including the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline project.

Fracking Boom During the last decade, oil companies developed the ability to drill to depths of 5,000 to 10,000 feet before turning their bits sideways, cutting horizontal lines into previously inaccessible rock formations. By fracturing, or “fracking,” deeply buried layers of hydrocarbon-rich shale formations, they force natural gas and oil to the surface. These techniques have revolutionized oil and gas production, yielding hundreds of billions of dollars in profits to investors.

In 2014, the U.S. passed Saudi Arabia as the planet’s biggest oil producer. It has surpassed Russia as the world’s biggest producer of oil and gas combined. Two shale oil basins in particular have helped spur the production surge: the Eagle Ford in south Texas and the Bakken.

Large financial institutions have actively cultivated the North American oil boom. A 2012 Citibank report called “Energy 2020: North America, the New Middle East” notes that “the economic consequences” of the oil and gas industry’s “supply and demand revolution are potentially

extraordinary,” and touts that “infrastructure investments ease the transport bottlenecks in bringing supply to demand centers.”

It also sounds a cautionary note: “The only thing that can stop this is politics—environmentalists getting the upper hand over supply in the U.S., for instance; or First Nations impeding pipeline expansion in Canada.”

As with Canadian tar sands oil (see “Crude Awakening,” June 8), the Bakken shale’s Achilles’ heel is that it is located in the middle of the continent, far away from shipping terminals and most oil refineries. That has led many North Dakota producers to transport crude oil by train, including to California refineries, a highly dangerous method given that Bakken oil is especially prone to lethal explosions.

The Dakota Access Pipeline would improve North Dakota oil producers’ ability to compete economically, notes North Dakota Petroleum Council communications director Tessa Sandstrom. It would also reduce deliveries by train, she says, making them safer and freeing up rail lines for farmers to bring their

commodities to market.

“This pipeline resolves issues that are big concerns among North Dakotans,” Sandstrom says. “It’s also a legal pipeline at this point, and we think it should go forward.”

But the extraction of oil, natural gas and coal has driven the planet to the precipice of climate catastrophe. In recent years, the earth has burned through existing temperature records, causing Arctic permafrost to disappear at alarming rates, a process that releases much more carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, thus fueling a dire feedback loop of potentially ever-greater planetary warming.

Vulnerable human populations are already being displaced as the ecological fabric that has sustained them unravels.

National and global efforts to cap and reduce greenhouse gas emissions include treaties, taxes and investments in alternative-energy sources and non-automobile transportation.

But infrastructure investments that require large, long-term commitments of capital are also crucial indicators of national intent, which is why President Barack Obama choose to ) 16

a lot more money if the company can supply the Dakota Access Pipeline,” says Antonia Juhasz, a San Francisco–based oil and energy analyst and author who has studied hedge funds and the North Dakota oil boom.

Wall Street tycoon John Paulson, a key member of Donald Trump’s economic policy council, is also a major investor in Oasis Petroleum. According to Oasis Petroleum’s most recent financial filings, SPO Partners owns the largest share of the company, while Paulson’s hedge fund owns the fourth largest. Trump himself has invested between $3 million and $15 million in Paulson’s hedge funds, a 2015 federal campaign disclosure form reveals, raising the possibility that the Republican candidate is also an investor in Oasis Petroleum.

reject the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline on the eve of the 2015 Paris climate summit involving 191 of the world’s nations.

By completing the Dakota Access Pipeline, one of the longest oil pipelines in North America, the United States would signal to investors its intention to maintain high oil production— and, by extension, high greenhouse gas emission levels.

Construction of the pipeline would lead to corresponding increases in fracking, which tend to produce greater emissions than conventional oil.

“The banks are sold on the idea that the U.S. should and will maximize its production of oil and gas,” says Food & Water Watch’s MacMillan. “In doing that, they are banking against any real political effort to keep these fossil fuels in the ground.”

According to a 2015 estimate by the Wall Street Journal, banks made about $1 trillion in investments in the energy industry worldwide between 2005 and 2014. In that time, Wells Fargo had seized its position as the top U.S.-based oil and gas banker, with more than $40 billion in investments, according to information published by the data firm Thomson Reuters.

Wells Fargo’s leadership role within the oil and gas industry also includes the annual Wells Fargo West Coast Energy Conference in San Francisco, which brings together leading investors and professionals from across the oil, gas and coal sectors, as well as some who are involved in renewables. This year, the conference took place at San Francisco’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Among the 38 banks that have made loans to companies involved in the Dakota Access pipelines, Wells Fargo has the second largest investment stake, the Food & Water Watch study shows. The San Francisco–based banking giant has loaned roughly $467 million to the pipeline’s

builder, Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), and its family of companies; ETP is among the county’s largest pipeline operators, with a spiderweb-like network of other pipelines throughout the Gulf Coast and southwest.

Wells Fargo corporate communications director Jessica Ong says the bank invested in the pipeline only after a review of its potential for social and environmental harm.

“The Dakota Access Pipeline project was evaluated by an independent engineer to be compliant with the ‘equator principles,’ a framework adopted

by Wells Fargo in 2005 that is designed to determine, assess and manage social and environmental risks and impacts of projects,” Ong says, adding, “While we respect the differing opinions involved in this dispute, Wells Fargo does not take positions on public policy issues that do not directly affect our ability to serve our customers or support our team members.”

Wells Fargo is more than just a financier of the project. It also acts as ETP’s administrative loan agent, meaning it performs the record-keeping associated with all the company’s loans, handles the interest and principal payments made in connection with those loans, and monitors their ongoing administration. In other words, all bank financing ETP receives passes through Wells Fargo.

Fracking Funders Dozens of comparatively small companies, many of them from the Bay Area—such as Farallon Capital Management, Warburg Pincus, Hellman & Friedman, and Hall Capital Partners (the managers of which are developing a controversial Napa County vineyard)—have been major fracking investors, competing to profit on the Bakken and other oil basins’ hydrocarbon resources.

San Francisco–based hedge fund BlackRock Fund Advisors is Oasis Petroleum’s sixth largest investor.

Think Investments, which is also based in San Francisco, checks in as the eighth largest.

utility corporation Calpine, among the country’s largest producers of gas-fired electricity.

In the North Bay, Calpine is best known as the owner of the Geysers, the famed geothermal power station near Calistoga.

Oberndorf and Scully are also among the biggest investors in a California political action committee that funds businessfriendly Democrats and Republicans alike, with an agenda centered on pension reform and public investments in charter schools.

In 2014, SPO Partners began scooping up significantly greater shares of oil and gas drilling companies after global oil prices plunged and numerous producers entered bankruptcy. The firm has more than $1 billion staked in Pioneer Natural Resources, one of the main producers of oil in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford shale basins of Texas, considered to have more recoverable oil deposits than any other oil basin in the world outside of Saudi Arabia.

Another SPO-invested company, Resolute Energy, has its corporate office in Larkspur, on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, and is the main oil and gas drilling partner of the Navajo Nation, an American Indian nation that has sought to develop oil and gas resources.

Oasis Petroleum is SPO Partners’ third largest oil and gas investment. Records from the North Dakota Public Service Commission show that Oasis’ transmission line is one of six “gathering lines” from different companies that will feed the pipeline.

Scully is also the largest career contributor to Assemblymember Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, having donated $122,500 to Levine’s Assembly campaigns and to a Levine-affiliated political action committee called Elevate California, which ironically sponsored a 2014 campaign mailer advocating for a California fracking moratorium.

Bakken region’s oil industry has also left many companies prone to takeovers by private equity companies and hedge funds that invest in a variety of assets, largely avoiding direct regulatory oversight due to federal laws that exempt companies with relatively small numbers of investors from Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements.

“You have lots of smaller companies coming and going, which are very easily bought by wealthy asset managers like hedge funds,” says Juhasz.

In a September Rolling Stone article, she criticized these investment partnerships’ “exclusive focus on the bottom line and profits, to the detriment of safety and lives, forcing companies to cut corners and do more with less (including tens of thousands of fewer workers), and contributing to a worker death rate in North Dakota that is seven times the national average.”

California-based pension funds are also major investors in shale oil and the Dakota Access Pipeline. The California Public Employees Retirement System, CalPERS, the nation’s largest state-run pension fund, owns a stake in ETP worth $41.4 million, making it the pipeline construction company’s 36th largest institutional investor.

Jane Vosburg of the groups Sonoma 350 and Fossil Free California has attempted to convince CalPERS and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System to divest from fossil fuels. “So far, they have not acknowledged the urgency of the climate situation in our meetings with them,” she says.

Last year, the California Legislature did pass a bill divesting state public pensions from investments in coal.

fracking in California,” Levine said. He said “a number of different donors supported” the Elevate California campaign, although filings with the California Secretary of State’s office show that Scully and his wife gave $102,000 out of the $105,500 in outside donations the group received in 2013–14.

Representatives of SPO Partners did not return multiple requests for comment. In 2014, Scully told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that he doesn’t “disagree with regulating and probably banning fracking in Northern California.” However, Scully said he’s “absolutely for” fracking elsewhere, saying that “it is working, and it is a significantly good thing for the United States.”

When construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline began earlier this year, the companies involved regarded the project as a sure thing. In a conference call with investors, ETP CEO Kelcy Warren said he “fully expects” the pipeline to be completed and in operation this year. But because the pipeline runs along the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, a community of 8,500 along the Missouri River in North and South Dakota, tribal members and supporters have camped out in the path of the pipeline route. The blockade and related encampments have galvanized international attention and opened up the possibility that the pipeline may yet be canceled.

In September, the Obama administration bowed to public pressure by denying ETP an easement to construct a 19-mile segment of the pipeline near the Standing Rock reservation, even as construction proceeds across the remainder of the route. In the meantime, three federal agencies are reviewing whether the Army Corps followed proper procedure when it approved the pipeline over the summer.

While California investment capital has flowed to the pipeline,

the state has also been a wellspring of resistance to it.

“There have been more people from California out at Standing Rock than from almost anywhere else,” says Sierra Alexander, a Northern Cheyenne tribal member who lives in Willits.

Many California indigenous people who are supporting the Standing Rock struggle have experience battling financial institutions. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway, owns four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River. The region’s indigenous people have called for the dams’ removal to protect some of California’s last remaining salmon populations. They have disrupted Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meetings in an attempt to pressure Buffett’s firm. One of the organizers of those actions, Hoopa Valley tribal member Dania Colegrove, is among dozens of indigenous people from the Klamath River basin who have traveled to Standing Rock.

“We’re out here talking about our struggles in the Klamath, and about how nonviolent direct action has changed our world,” Colegrove told a group of dam removal supporters last month in a call from Standing Rock. “We’re helping give the people here the courage to keep going.”

Construction of that final 19mile pipeline stretch hinges on decisions by public regulatory agency representatives and policymakers, such as President Obama, who could use his authority to revoke the project’s federal permits. The Army Corps of Engineers is the lead permitting agency for the project.

Food & Water Watch’s MacMillan says the importance of exposing banks’ financing of the oil industry—including the pipeline—is that “it lets people know what’s happening behind the scenes.

“The banks are providing the money to make it all happen.”

Arts Ideas LASER FOCUS Chimera founder Dana Woodman demonstrates how to use the Sebastopol makerspace’s laser cutter.

Making It

Chimera boosts art and community

E

veryone has the power to be a maker. That’s the philosophy of Dana Woodman, founder and executive director of Chimera. Located in Sebastopol, Chimera is the North Bay’s first and only nonprofit community arts and maker space, offering a wide range of tools and support for artists and builders of every kind.

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

Whether it’s welding, woodwork, 3D printing, jewelry crafting or robotics, anyone with a passion for creating can join the community at Chimera. Monthly classes and workshops are also open to the public.

Chimera began as a concept five years ago, when Woodman, a software developer and artist, was working out of his rental space in Santa Rosa and feeling frustrated by limited space. “I started talking to friends about an idea of a shared shop,” he says. He posted that idea on social media and

formed a Facebook group. Within hours, dozens of people joined.

Within a week, that number reached over 800 people.

“I was blown away by how much interest and excitement there was for something like this,” says Woodman.

That interest compelled Woodman to form Chimera as a nonprofit group and set about finding a space, which he found in downtown Sebastopol near the old Ford building across from Community Market and the Barlow. Originally, the space was

just 700 square feet, but in March Chimera expanded into the Ford building itself, and now boasts a 3,000-square-foot facility.

Chimera has over 115 members, all of whom pay $25 to $125 a month to use the space, and the tools, seven days a week.

“We’re basically like a gym,” Woodman says. “Except instead of workout equipment, you get access to maker tools.”

While he says 3D printers and laser cutters are sexy, he notes that the heart of the nonprofit is the community. “There is so much creative energy around here,” he says. “Tools and training and classes are all secondary to the idea that we want to connect people together—that is where the most exciting stuff comes from.”

Chimera is also a part of the national maker community. Last month, Chimera was invited to the White House by the office of science and technology policy. Chimera joined 180 of the approximately 500 other makerspaces from across the country for an all-day event focused on the maker movement.

Woodman says there is an effort underway to form a national makerspace association. He’s been selected as one of an eightperson interim leadership board to make that effort a reality.

President Obama is expected to announce the organization a month from now, Woodman says.

“Makerspaces are the new hub for [innovation],” says Woodman.

“It’s a paradigm shift in society where anybody can be a maker, anybody can start a business, anybody can create the new invention that changes the world.”

Chimera is at 6791 Sebastopol Ave., Sebastopol. For more information, contact them at info@chimeraarts.org or call 707.827.3020.

Recollect Two plays take on bittersweet memories

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

‘I

t’s not the past that shapes us—but images of the past.”

So wrote the late Irish playwright Brian Friel, whose interest in the power of memory runs all through his bittersweet 1990 drama Dancing at Lughnasa, at Main Stage West in Sebastopol.

Similarly, Maury Yeston and Peter Stone’s Titanic: The Musical, running at Spreckels Theater Company, balances the facts of history and the potent emotions that spring from powerful shared memories.

Directed with appropriate grandeur by Gene Abravaya, Titanic features outstanding singing voices and ever-shifting projections to tell the tale of “the largest moving object in the world.” With impressive music from a tight quintet of offstage musicians, under the direction of Tina Lloyd Meals, the show

Set between the world wars, Dancing at Lughnasa recounts one summer in the tiny Irish town of Ballybeg that the narrator, Michael (Steven Abbott), spends with his mother and four aunts.

In bringing this colorful quintet of sisters to life, director Molly Noble has assembled a stellar cast of actresses: Liz Jahren, Florianna Allessandria, Ivy Rose Miller, Ilana Niernberger and Sharia Pierce.

Each is extraordinary in her own way, hilarious and affecting, as Michael recalls the clashing hopes and fears that would set the course of all of their futures.

As Gerry, Michael’s father, Sam Coughlin is charmingly roguish, and John Craven, as the sisters’ older brother, Jack—a church missionary gone gleefully pagan— is superb. Softly drenched in sweet nostalgia, Lughnasa is a beautiful play, beautifully executed.

‘Titanic: The Musical’ runs through Oct. 30 at Spreckels Performing Arts Center, 5409 Snyder Lane, Rohnert Park. 707.588.3400. ‘Dancing at Lughnasa’ runs Thursday–Sunday through Oct. 30 at Main Stage West. 104 N. Main St., Sebastopol.

Stage

frequently soars with feeling, as we are introduced to various characters—based on historical figures—most of whom we know will perish when the massive ship strikes an iceberg.

It should be mentioned that the iceberg—portrayed by an animated children’s-book illustration projected across the stage’s five screens—is jarringly silly looking, and if it weren’t for the dramatic magnitude of the moment, might otherwise have drawn a laugh.

Given that iceberg’s iconic historical status, it’s a serious distraction.

But when weighed against the gorgeous music, the consistent excellence and heartfelt spirit of Abravaya’s unified 25-actor cast—plus the poignant beauty of the script’s canny emphasis on human relationships—it would take a whole lot more than one goofy graphic to sink this mighty Titanic.

Dustin Hoffman’s ‘Rain Man.’

Super Geek

Ben Affleck is an accountant by day, superhero by night BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

I

n between Batman movies, Ben Affleck decided to play Batman again. The Accountant amps up the Asperg-ery side of the hero, disposing of the cape but not his fantastic fighting abilities. And Bruce Wayne is disguised as a Midwestern bean counter.

MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN SULLY

QUEEN OF KATWE

(1:10) 6:45 PG Wed/Thu: No 6:45

Affleck plays Christian Wolff—the Christian helps the weak, the wolf punishes the strong. Wolff describes himself as a person with high-functioning autism, but this isn’t even one of Affleck’s top 10 autistic performances in a movie. He’s never been a big reactor—he’s more like some sort of energy sink that absorbs the acting of others.

In The Accountant, Affleck constantly smudges the outline of his character, showing sympathy and affection between the fight scenes.

In flashback, we see how Wolff acquired his extracurricular skills, from being beaten up by a bulky Asian martial arts instructor to training to become a world-class sniper in the military. Back in the present time, he’s hunted by old-dog treasury agent J. K. Simmons and his new recruit (Cynthia Addai-Robinson). Meanwhile, a mysterious enforcer (Jon Bernthal of The Punisher) is tracking down friends of Wolff’s clients.

It’s all connected to some sketchy accounting at a robotics firm run by a grandfatherly CEO (John Lithgow). While auditing the books, Wolff meets a friendly young pixie named Dana (Anna Kendrick), who is one of the firm’s accountants. Kendrick gives a lot of her usual nervous displays of ivory teeth while seeking to know this mysterious wolf, his beautiful mind and his pair of cold shoulders.

One of the film’s problems, though, is that chunks of narrative seem to have disappeared, replaced by rhetorical questions to bridge the gap, like, “Risking your life for a girl you’ve known less than a week?

Why?” At one point, we learn that Wolff’s childhood advice from his father was “Being too different scares people”—counsel that director Gavin O’Connor would have done better ignoring.

The Accountant is playing in wide release in the North Bay.

JAMMIN’ Royal Jelly Jive join burlesque show at Annie’s O’s on Oct. 29.

Chilling Sounds

Your guide to Halloween concerts in the North Bay

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

W

ith Halloween falling on a Monday this year, the North Bay is taking advantage of the weekend to party with all manner of frightfully fun concerts.

Here is a handful of hallowed events to match your creepy costume of choice.

If you’re dressing up as a scary clown this year, a hugely popular option given the rash of insane clown posses in recent weeks, you’ll fit right in at the North Bay Cabaret’s “All Hallows Eve 4” on Oct. 29 at Annie O’s Music Hall in Santa Rosa. Featuring the wild Jake Ward as master of ceremonies, high-flying aerialists, backlight burlesque and all manner of

sideshow entertainment, the circus spectacle also boasts San Francisco Gypsy-jazz favorites Royal Jelly Jive and Danny Elfman–inspired Oakland outfit Oinga Boinga delivering cabaret rock. Top it off with comedy rock troupe For the Ladies and carnival Americana group Thee Hobo Gobbelins, and you’ve got a sureto-be sold-out event poised to scare up some creepy fun.

Those going out on the town as grave-risen zombies ought to check out the Haunted Halloween party on Oct. 29 at Rossi’s 1906 in Sonoma. Cocktails will loosen up the undead partygoers and a Monster Mash Dance Off will flesh out the grooves. Onstage will be Siouxsie & the Banshees tribute band Voodoo Dolly and eclectic Sonoma rabble-rousers Loosely Covered.

Anyone who plans on donning a Danzig-inspired undead rock ’n’ roll costume has two chances to party in Petaluma this weekend.

First, on Oct. 29, the Phoenix Theater hosts a Halloween Covers Show with local bands dressing up as their favorite classic punk rock and grunge groups and performing the music of Nirvana, AC/DC, the Misfits, the New York Dolls and others.

Then, on Oct. 31, the Mystic Theatre celebrates Halloween with platinum-selling rockers Trapt. Stars of the alternative hard-rock scene since 1997, the group just released its seventh studio album, DNA, this year.

Joining Trapt is Message from HOR_Boh11_3rdpg.r2.indd Sylvia, a new ensemble formed from the Lopez-Smith brothers behind modern rock outfit First Decree and vocalist Matthew Nevitt from Echovalve.

Ghouls and goblins of all shapes and sizes will delight in surf-rock superstars the Deadlies, performing a Very Deadlies Halloween at Silo’s Napa on Oct. 28. House band for KOFYTV's Creepy KOFY Movie Time, the Deadlies are a power trio of raw energy and haunted hooks that perfectly set the mood for a weekend of late-night partying.

Living Dead

Dia de los Muertos shows season’s serious side This weekend isn’t all Halloween candy corn and monster mashes; it’s also Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. Celebrated throughout Mexico, this is a holiday of remembrance, when families and communities honor their loved ones who’ve died and create festive art and altars. In the North Bay, several events carry on the tradition.

In Santa Rosa, the History Museum of Sonoma County is running a Día de los Muertos Altars exhibition and hosting two events this week. On Thursday, Oct. 27, Mexico City native Laura Larqué, now a history professor at Santa Rosa Junior College, presents an evening talk on the ancient traditions of life and death in the Mexican culture and the view in Mesoamerica that death is only one state of an infinite life cycle. On Saturday, Oct. 29, the museum opens up for a family day with sugar skulls, face painting and more activities for all ages, running from 2pm to 4pm. (425 Seventh St., Santa Rosa; 707.579.1500.)

In Napa, the Napa Valley Latino Heritage Committee hosts a weekend celebration and altar exhibit at Harvest Middle School.

Saturday’s events include music and dancing, crafts and food from noon to 6pm.

Sunday is a more reverential event, with quiet viewings of the 20 altars from noon to 4:30pm. (2449 Old Sonoma Road, Napa; 707.337.2970.)—Charlie Swanson

I Warned You

Proposed county ordinances will sink cannabis industry

BY BEN ADAMS

W

hen I wrote last (“The Big Squeeze,” Sept. 28), it was about my fears for the future of the small cannabis farmer. Since then, Sonoma County has released its proposed cannabis ordinance. As it turns out, the future for the small farmer is grim indeed.

The biggest issue is the proposed removal of “agricultural and residential” and “rural residential” zoning from areas where licensed commercial cannabis will be permissible. The county estimates that 40 percent of growers are in these zones now.

From conversations I’ve had with growers and clients, I think the number is much higher.

So far, county officials are taking a hard line. There will be no exceptions, regardless of parcel size, longevity of the site’s operation, opinions of the

neighbors, remoteness of the property or other factors that might make a grow in these areas perfectly safe and acceptable. Why is this so problematic?

At least 40 percent (and I believe it’s closer to 70–80 percent) of farmers will either have to move or quit if they want to stay legal under state law. The county will only allow commercial cultivation above 2,500 square feet in agricultural or industrial areas. It’s also requiring minimum parcel sizes. The average person cannot simply buy five or 10 acres of ag land, or a large industrial building, in Sonoma County. Land prices are too high and much of the agricultural land is planted in grapes. This proposed ordinance will dramatically cut the size of the legal cannabis community through land-use restrictions alone.

It gets worse. The county will have many (as yet unspecified) requirements to get a conditionaluse permit. These will cost money.

Many of these requirements will take small growers by surprise.

For example, are you prepared to have an ADA-compliant bathroom at your cultivation site? You may need it. The costs to satisfy the county will be significant.

Security and water issues are also likely to be big expenses.

Growers might also have to hire expensive experts such as attorneys and engineers. I would not be surprised if the cost of getting through the conditionaluse permit process is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Remember that even if the grower gets a county permit, a state license will then be required. That will bring its own expenses, such as track and trace and license fees.

This is all so disappointing.

Sonoma County had a real chance to create a brand-new industry from the ground up. Instead, the majority of growers will simply go underground or relocate.

Ben Adams is a local attorney who concentrates his practice on cannabis compliance and defense.

ARIES (March 21–April 19) I invite you to fantasize about what your four great-grandmothers and four great-grandfathers may have been doing on Nov. 1, 1930. What? You have no idea how to begin? You don’t even know their names? If that’s the case, I hope you’ll remedy your ignorance. Your ability to create the future you want requires you to learn more about where and whom you came from. Halloween costume suggestion: your most interesting ancestor.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) At any one time,

over 2 million frozen human embryos are stored in tissue banks throughout Europe and North America.

When the time is right, their owners retrieve them and bring them to term. That’s the first scenario I invite you to use as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks.

Here’s a second scenario: Scotch whisky is a potent mind-altering substance. Any particular batch must mature for at least three years, and may be distilled numerous times. There are currently 20 million barrels of the stuff mellowing in Scottish warehouses. And what do these two scenarios have to do with you? It’s time to tap into resources that you’ve been saving in reserve—that haven’t been ripe or ready until now.

Halloween costume suggestions: a woman who’s nine months pregnant; a blooming rose or sunflower; ripe fruit.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) To create a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, a winemaker needs about 700 grapes. Compare this process with rain-making. When water vapor that’s high in the sky becomes dense enough, it condenses into tiny pearls of liquid called cloud droplets. If the humidity rises even further, a million of these babies might band together to form a single raindrop that falls to earth. And what does this have to do with your life? I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will have both an affinity and a skill for processes that resemble winemaking and rain-making.

You’ll need a lot of raw material and energetic effort to produce a relatively small marvel—but that’s exactly as it should be. Halloween costume suggestion: a raindrop or bottle of wine.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Some Brazilians eat the heads of piranhas in the belief they’re aphrodisiacs.

In Zimbabwe, women may make strategic use of baboon urine to enhance their allure. The scientific name for Colombia’s leaf-cutter ant is Hormiga culona, translated as “fat-assed ant.” Ingesting the roasted bodies of these critters is thought to boost sexual desire. Since you’re in a phase when tapping in to your deepest erotic longings will be healthy and educational, you may want to adopt elements of the aforementioned love drugs to create your Halloween costume. Here are other exotic aphrodisiacs from around the world that you might be inspired by: asparagus, green M&Ms, raw oysters, wild orchids, horny goat weed.

LEO (July 23–August 22) Do you know how to repair a broken zipper or patch a hole in your bicycle tire? Are you familiar with the art of caulking a bathtub or creating a successful budget? Can you compose a graceful thank-you note, cook a hearty soup from scratch, or overcome your pride so as to reconcile with an ally after an argument? These are the kinds of tasks I trust you will focus on in the coming weeks. It’s time to be very practical and concrete. Halloween costume suggestion: Mr. or Ms. Fix-It. VIRGO (August 23–September 22) In the film Terminator 2, Arnold Schwarzenegger played a benevolent android who traveled here from the future.

As a strong, silent action hero, he didn’t need to say much. In fact, he earned $30,000 for every word he uttered. I’m hoping your speech will pack a comparable punch in the coming days. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that your persuasiveness should be at a peak. You’ll have an exceptional ability to say what you mean and mean what you say. Use this superpower with flair and precision!

Halloween costume suggestion: ancient Greek orator Demosthenes; Martin Luther King Jr.; Virginia Woolf; Sojourner Truth; rapper MC Lyte, Winston Churchill.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22)

It’s the

prosperity-building phase of your cycle. Let’s celebrate! Let’s brainstorm! Are there rituals you can create to stimulate the financial lobes of your imagination, thereby expediting your cash flow? Here are a few ideas: 1. Glue a photo of yourself on a $20 bill. 2. Make a wealth shrine in your home. Stock it with symbols of specific thrills you can buy for yourself when you have more money. 3. Halloween costume suggestions: a giant bar of gold, a banker carrying a briefcase full of big bills, Tony Stark, Lady Mary Crawley, Jay Gatsby, Lara Croft, the Yoruban wealth goddess Ajé.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

During this Halloween season, you have cosmic permission to be a bigger, bolder and extra beguiling version of yourself. I trust you will express your deep beauty with precise brilliance and imagine your future with superb panache and wander wherever the hell you feel like wandering. It’s time to be stronger than your fears and wilder than your trivial sins. Halloween costume suggestion: the superhero version of yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

I won’t offer you the cliché “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Instead, I’ll provide alternatives. How about this, from the video game Portal 2: “When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

Say, ‘I don’t want your damn lemons!’” Or you could try this version, from my friend Barney: “When life gives you lemons, draw faces on them like Tom Hanks did on his volleyball in the movie Cast Away, and engage them in sexy philosophical conversation.” Or consider this Brazilian proverb: “When life gives you lemons, make caipirinhas.” (Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail.) Suggestion: Play around with these themes to create your Halloween costume.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Each of us is creator and destroyer. It’s fun and healthy to add fresh elements to our lives, but it’s also crucial to dispose of things that hurt and distort us. Even your body is a hotbed of both activities, constantly killing off old cells and generating new ones. But in my understanding, you are now in a phase when there’s far more creation than destruction. Enjoy the exalted buzz! Halloween costume suggestions: a creator god or goddess, like the Greeks’ Gaia or Prometheus; Rainbow-Snake from the Australian Aborigines; Unkulunkulu from the Zulus; or Coyote, Raven or Spider Grandmother from indigenous North American tribes.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) In 1938, a chef named Ruth Wakefield dreamed up a brilliant invention: chocolate chip cookies. She sold her recipe to the Nestlé company in return for $1 and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Maybe she was happy with that arrangement, but I think she cheated herself. And so I offer her action as an example of what you should not do. During the next 10 months, I expect you will come up with many useful innovations and intriguing departures from the way things have always been done. Make sure you get full value in return for your gifts! Halloween costume ideas: Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, Hedy Lamarr, Leonardo da Vinci, Temple Grandin, George Washington Carver, Mark Zuckerberg.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Speaking on behalf of the cosmic powers, I authorize you to escape dull realities and go rambling through the frontier.

Feel free to fantasize twice as hard and wild as you normally do. Avoid literalists and realists who think you should be more like them. This is not a time to fuss over exacting details, but rather to soar above the sober nonsense and see as far as you can. You have permission to exult in the joys of wise innocence.

Halloween costume suggestions: bohemian poet, mad scientist, carefree genius, brazen explorer.
