Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Time to Speak Up It’s happening all around. People in practically every state are standing up to the Trump mania of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants, mostly from Mexico and Central America, and supporting their civil and human rights. These are counties and cities, and they number in the hundreds.

Some Sonoma County cities and school districts have issued resolutions proclaiming they will not cooperate and

participate in this attempt to vilify and expel a targeted population that most know as neighbors, friends or workmates.

These used to be called sanctuary cities, but that term has become anathema for many because of White House threats of withholding federal monies. Whatever the current euphemisms popping up now—e.g., safe havens, indivisible cities, etc.—it’s irrelevant, as the meaning and intent is quite clear. We will not sit idly by while our brothers and sisters and their families are destroyed and they are persecuted for the crime of seeking a better life.

THIS MODERN WORLD

While resistance to this scapegoating of immigrants is evident, the absence of some of the county’s organizations of note—the wine industry and the chambers of commerce—stand out in stark contrast. I’ve not seen one word in any of our local papers by these business entities or their representatives in support of the immigrant community.

Where are the employers of so many of these targeted people—vineyards and wineries, hospitality businesses, construction industry, landscaping companies and all the rest—when it comes to standing up for those

By Tom Tomorrow

very people who make those businesses possible?

It’s time for you to speak up on their behalf. This is the time to step up and put your money where it counts and aid those who’ve made your businesses thrive.

Community Assets Somehow it does not seem entirely surprising that after one basic human need (shelter) has attained a luxury status, another one (food) is the next to follow (“A Singular Experience,” March 1). Single Thread restaurant may offer a unique dining experience, but the question is exactly how people, locals and visitors alike, are supposed to consider it a part of the community and even be “proud” of it when the vast majority of us won’t ever be able to afford to eat there. My family’s monthly grocery bill is normally under $300. Also, the word “community” seems to get a lot of use recently, in all sorts of commercial references.

Maybe, it’s time to let it regain some of its original meaning. Communities are about safety, trust and human connections, not so much about selling overpriced business ideas.

It’s time to speak up now, Obama

BY TOM GOGOLA

I

n her cover story this week, Santa Rosa native (by way of Mexico) “Dreamer” Maria De Los Angeles writes about how President Barack Obama had been “spiritually pardoned” from the sins of his early administration, which featured record numbers of deportations, when he subsequently moved to protect children of undocumented immigrants from deportation.

As Obama was leaving office, he made a pledge to speak out if he believed Trump was intruding into true-values territory and targeting vulnerable populations, which these days include Mexicans, Muslims and the media—yes, Obama pledged to protect the media, too. Last week he added “accusations of wire-tapping” to the list when his spokesman pushed back against that doozy from Trump.

I joked with Maria last Friday afternoon as we were working on her story that I’d call Michelle Obama to see if I could get her to model one of Maria’s art-couture dresses, featured on the cover this week.

But this is no laughing matter and that night I got home and said what the heck, I’ll see if I can get the Obama people to engage at some level. After all, they’re the ones who encouraged Maria to come forward and register as a Dreamer.

So I jumped onto Obama’s new website—you can’t just “call” Michelle Obama, as it turns out— and headed to the press portal, and left a long note to the effect of “Hey, anyone over there care to chime in on this remarkable woman? She just left her apartment and gave up her art studio because of Trump.” I followed with a few emailed and tweeted attempts to grab the attention of the president’s spokesman, Kevin Lewis. A comment, or how about an Open Mic from the former president—did somebody say something about the audacity of hope? That if you work hard and play by the rules that . . . oh, well.

So here’s Obama at his January press conference, pretty powerful stuff: “The notion that we would just arbitrarily, or because of politics, punish those kids when they didn’t do anything wrong themselves, I think would be something that would merit me speaking out.”

UNDER INVESTIGATION Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas acted quickly on a use-of-force incident in October involving a now former deputy.

Cops and Dollars County negotiates excessive-force incident stemming from 2016 Boyes Hot Springs arrest BY TOM GOGOLA

I

t’s a case that Santa Rosa defense attorney Izaak Schwaiger calls “over the top and unprecedented as far as Sonoma County goes.” A 2016 domestic-abuse call in Boyes Hot Springs led to a felony excessive-force charge against (now former) deputy Scott Thorne of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO).

Schwaiger is in the midst of settlement negotiations with Sonoma County over the deputy’s actions, which included use of a stun gun on the victim, who was also struck with a nightstick.

Thorne has pled not guilty in the October 2016 incident and is due back in court later this month.

The incident occurred barely a year after the county paid out $1.25 million in another excessiveforce incident at the county lockup.

The negotiations are underway as other aspects of the incident are about to come to a head. Last week, a sheriff’s office internal investigation of the actions of two other deputies on the scene with Thorne was sent to Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas for his review. From there, the report will go to Jerry Threet at the county’s Office of Independent Law Enforcement Review and Outreach. Threet’s job is to audit

the review and see if he agrees with its conclusions.

To date, the two other deputies have not been charged or implicated in anything related to the incident. Records at Transparent California show that one of the deputies, Beau Zastrow, has been on the force since 2013 and Deputy Anthony Diehm joined the agency in 2015. As has been widely reported, Thorne had worked for the sheriff’s office for less than a year and was a probationary officer without civil service protections.

The SCSO investigation of the officers’ actions is not a public record. It may find that Zastrow and Diehm were complicit in some way—or that they were in the unenviable position of having to subdue an irate suspect who was reportedly resisting arrest in his bedroom, while also dealing with a colleague whose actions would end up with him being charged with a felony.

All charges against the suspect were dropped. Schwaiger has identified him only as a Latino man and a veteran in his late 30s with no criminal record.

In a recent interview with the Bohemian, Threet praised the sheriff’s office for its initial handling of the Boyes Hot Springs incident, based on the SCSO’s actions in the immediate aftermath. After the incident, Freitas swiftly reported that Thorne was no longer working for sheriff’s office. It’s unknown whether he was fired or resigned because of state law that shields peace officers’ personnel records from public scrutiny. The SCSO conducted an administrative review of body-cam footage that revealed a crime may have been committed. Investigators at the Santa Rosa Police Department, which conducted a review per the sheriff’s office request, concluded that a crime had been committed and forwarded a felony excessiveforce charge to the Sonoma County Office of the District Attorney. Thorne was arrested and charged in January.

Meanwhile, an explosive investigation by reporter Julie Johnson published in last Sunday’s Press Democrat revealed

related to negotiations with Schwaiger.

“At this point, this case is in a pre-litigation stage,” says deputy county counsel Petra Bruggisser via email, “and our office does not comment on matters related to pending or impending litigation, including settlement discussions.”

‘We’re not even close to this thing being finalized.’

This is the second time in a year that Sonoma County has found itself in pre-litigation settlement negotiations with Schwaiger stemming from an excessive-force charge leveled against deputies at the SCSO. In January 2016, the county paid $1.25 million to Esa Wroth. An intoxicated Wroth had been Tased some two dozen times in the intake and booking area at Sonoma County’s Main Adult Detention Facility, which gave rise to the settlement.

The agreement Schwaiger hammered out with the county came with a stipulation that Wroth wouldn’t pursue any further legal action against the county or its employees. And the county made the payout—which was signed off by the board of supervisors—without admitting any complicity in the eventual settlement.

But unlike the recent arrest in Boyes Hot Springs, no officers were arrested in connection with the Wroth incident, and there was no ongoing criminal complaint against a former deputy animating the pre-litigation negotiations. Schwaiger could not say when negotiations with the county would conclude.

“We’re not even close to this being finalized,” he says.

SI, SI SSU As Trump moves to clamp down on immigration and dodge court injunctions, Sonoma State University recently announced that it had created a resource center devoted to undocumented students.

That it did so while also qualifying for federal grants available to institutions of higher learner devoted to enhancing Latino student education is sort of ironic, given the antiimmigrant tenor of our times.

In a statement, the school says it’s deemed eligible by the U.S. Department of Education “to compete for millions of dollars in federal grants aimed at improving student success as a federally designated HispanicServing Institution (HSI).”

A third of the 8,600 undergrads at SSU are Latino. Now the school will be able to apply for grants—unless Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos kills them off with a surprise grizzly bear attack—made available under two sections of the federal Higher Education Act of 1965.

Title III is devoted to enhancing education in science, technology, engineering and math. Title V is aimed at equipment, mentoring, “and other programs aimed at helping all students succeed,” according to a statement from SSU spokesman Nicolas Grizzle.

In that statement, SSU president Judy K. Sakaki—who was hired last summer and spearheaded the HSI designation effort—says, “It's not enough to just open our doors to Latino students and others who have been traditionally underrepresented on college campuses. We must do everything we can to help all of our students succeed and graduate.”—Tom Gogola

that Thorne was hired by the sheriff’s office even as he had three excessive-force complaints in Richmond over 10 months, which included an incident that involved a Latino suspect and two other officers—and a domesticabuse call. That incident was settled via a civil rights lawsuit and a $172,500 payout to the victim. Johnson reported that Thorne and the other two officers were cleared of excessiveforce charges after an internal investigation.

Richmond city attorney Shannon Moore told the Bohemian that Thorne worked on the Richmond force until 2002, but couldn’t provide further information about the circumstances of his departure.

Johnson’s report may serve to raise the settlement stakes for Sonoma County, which assists the sheriff’s office in screening candidates for deputy positions.

According to sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Spencer Crum, the Sonoma County Human Resources Department does initial application screening, provides guidance into civil service rules and tests prospective sheriff’s deputies employees.

The California Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) is responsible for setting the guidelines for the hiring of law enforcement officers in California, which Crum says the agency adheres to. “[The] sheriff’s office does interviews, background and hiring. [The] initial job interview is conducted by a panel of three deputies, sergeants or [a] combination. If a candidate scores high enough on the interview they are sent to background investigations. Background investigators would review previous personnel files.”

In his recent interview with the Bohemian, Threet noted that he is also charged with reviewing hiring policies at the SCSO. Meanwhile, the Sonoma County Counsel’s Office says it can’t comment about the ongoing negotiations with Schwaiger.

In response to a records requests from the Bohemian, the office says it has no records of correspondence of any sort

GOOD LOOKS, GOOD FOOD Petaluma’s dining scene continues to grow, and newcomer the Drawing Board

is one of the leading attractions.

Get on Board

The Drawing Board’s eclectic meat and vegan menu is a winner BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY

P

etaluma’s new Drawing Board offers plenty of fashion-forward design elements.

There’s an open kitchen, mismatched vintage lamps above the cozy bar, greenery in ceiling-mounted planters and a bookshelf packed with cookbooks that serve as cues to the restaurant’s inspirations: Gjelina: Cooking from Venice, California;

Momofoku Milk Bar; and Deborah Madison’s obligatory Vegetable Literacy.

Sometimes those style points and references don’t add up to substance, but chef Ariel Nadelberg has created a winner in Petaluma’s increasingly delicious restaurant scene.

The menu is small; vegetables play a prominent role, and there are a number of vegan dishes.

They’re not highlighted as such, but simply embedded into the

menu among the meat and fish.

From the small plates section, it was interesting to sample the carrot lox ($10) and the smoked trout rillette ($13) side by side.

The “lox” are made with smoked carrots, nori and cashew cream cheese, while the trout mixes the fish with crème fraîche, pickled fennel and salmon roe.

The trout delivered a rich, balanced mouthful of creamy fish and briny pickles, an elegant shout-out to breakfast for dinner.

The lox were a revelation. The sweet, delicate carrots happily embraced the nori’s fishiness, a perfect match for the vegan cream cheese that was as tangy and rich as Greek yogurt. Vegan food often disappoints because of what it lacks—not the case with this standout dish.

A third appetizer, the whole grain arancini ($8), was more conventional, but still very good.

A fried rice ball rested on a dollop of goat cheese and refreshing romesco sauce. A sprinkling of charred kale showed a lighter, brighter side of the Italian classic.

The menu had only four entrées, two of them vegetarian.

We opted for the cassoulet ($15) and shepherd’s pie ($16). Both were indulgent and light at the same time. The cassoulet—made with Liberty Farm’s duck, small cubes of lamb belly, smoked beans, crunchy kale and thymespiced sourdough crumbs—had a great array of flavors, successfully merging the savory fowl, the smoky-salty beans and the herby, uplifting aroma of the topping.

The lamb belly was a nice addition but got lost in the mix.

Braised lamb, however, made a glorious appearance in the shepherd’s pie. Made with cubed root vegetables and a top layer of creamy, puréed potatoes, it was a hit with its comforting, humble flavors.

The only stumbles came from the dessert menu. At $8 each, the three offered sweets could have been so much more, given Drawing Board’s affinity for fresh and bright flavors, but most were too austere, too homey.

They revealed what might be a challenge for the Drawing Board: delivering just the right amount of “healthful” without losing any fine-dining appeal.

On the whole, the restaurant delivers on its “notion that healthy living isn’t about foregoing delicious foods but about eating nutrient dense fare.”

It will be interesting to go back to see how this stylish newcomer navigates the two.

T

he cult of Rafanelli Zinfandel is an unusual one. Like others that have earned the “cult” badge, this winery does not participate in barrel tasting weekends— their wine sells out when it’s released, once a year, to a mailing list. And you can bet there’s a waiting list for that mailing list.

Yet being fourth-generation Dry Creek Valley grape growers, Rafanelli still opens its cellar to anyone who’s curious, free of charge, with just one catch: you’ve got to ring up Rafanelli on the phone. No email or handy web app thingy will get you an appointment here.

“They’d rather just talk to you,” explains my host at the tasting

room. It’s not that they eschew social media; it’s that this small winery and residence at the end of a one-lane driveway can’t accommodate much traffic and parking.

It is a tidy arrangement—from the way the terraced vine rows curl up just below the ranch house to the way barrels are nestled inside the wood-paneled, jewel box of a wine cellar, everything seems fitted and styled just so.

Lucky visitors may get a tour beyond the little cellar where Zinfandel mellows in big, oval casks before it’s transferred to smaller oak barrels, on through the larger fermentation room, which is also warmed by the glow of wood—the walls are covered with plastic during punchdown season every year.

A passageway reverently illuminated via stained glass windows leads to a wine cave drilled into the hillside in the modern way. Here’s an alcove nicely furnished with a big table and decor—surely this is the highticket winery event space? Not really. The last event might have been a harvest party given for the staff, says my host, who, like others here, is not a marketing professional but a local who goes way back with the family, and is filling in at the tasting room today.

Back in the 1990s, Rafanelli wines got approving remarks from Robert Parker, but the winery has since dropped out of the wine-score scene. Their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a blend from terraced vineyards are sold-out, leaving only one wine to taste today. The 2014 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel ($42), the largest bottling at 7,000 cases, pours as dusky as blackberry juice, and speaks of a long slumber in casks that have known many slumbering wines—it’s not “casky,” which is something of a wine slight, but smells cleanly of rich, dark fruit steeped in wine-soaked wood, an aroma that’s worth the wait.

A Rafanelli Winery, 4685 West Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg. Daily 10am–4pm by appointment only; no fee. Pick up the phone and call 707.433.1385.

A Dreamer’s Diary

‘YOU DON’T BELONG HERE’

My journey from Mexico into Trump’s immigration dragnet

BY MARIA DE LOS ANGELES

M

y family may have brought me to this country physically, but what really brought me here was the United States itself. This country created the situation that prompts immigrants to migrate here from Mexico and other places. Historically speaking, many people in the Americas have migrated, or have been forced to migrate, because of political or economic factors caused by the United States—a country that I no longer choose to call “America.”

America is a continent with a diverse range of people who have been confronting colonialism and imperialism for a long time.

I do not think the United States was ever a democracy, since democracies are for the people and this country has not, for a long time, been for the people.

It is not for the people of Latin

America or for the indigenous people of North America. I am technically a North American.

I have Spanish and indigenous blood.

How can I be multiple types of people in this country at the same time? I am at risk of being grabbed

agents even as I am protected from deportation through the actions of the previous president. I’m making art and being in the art world. And, I am just me.

Crossing the Border

My family migrated from Tabasco, Mexico, to Santa Rosa at the turn of the last century, when I was 11 years old. My parents had decided to move for economic reasons, but it was difficult to get a visa, so we came here through the means that many people come to as a last resort. Our mother took us to Tijuana where one of our aunts was waiting, a woman I had never met before. In this house, a large, round woman called a “coyote” picked us up. The coyote had skin burnt from the sun and dark, curly hair. She drove a minivan.

My mother gave us sleeping medicine on the night we left, and we got into the coyote’s van and she drove us across the border. We were drugged with Tylenol so we wouldn’t talk to the border patrol at the checkpoint. The driver pretended that we were her kids. We were young and I was the oldest, and we could have been her children.

Once we were across the border, I woke up and asked where we were going. My worry was that the coyote wouldn’t give us back to our parents. She could easily have kidnapped us, but she took us to our aunt’s house in Los Angeles, where we waited for our mother.

Between Two Worlds

My first meal in the United States—I remember it clearly— was pineapple pizza with Coca Cola. I remember eating it in a beige apartment served by our very nice aunt. She took care of us until our mother got there—she had to cross the border by foot, and never arrived. But eventually our father did arrive, and he took us to Santa Rosa where a second aunt lived. We stayed in her living room for about a month until we were able to find our own place.

We met up with my mom later.

She still lives in Santa Rosa.

I turned 12 that year, and that

summer one of my new friends took me to the Sonoma County Fair, and we rode the roller coasters. That was my birthday present.

I attended seventh and eighth grade at Lawrence Cook Middle School in Santa Rosa.

It was very challenging because I had only been through the second grade in Mexico. When my parents left Mexico with us, I was very upset because they were taking me away from the school where I’d been promised that I’d stay through sixth grade—ironic, since I ended up moving up to seventh grade in the United States.

My teachers helped me survive middle school and prepare me for high school. I went to Elsie Allen High School and graduated from Santa Rosa High School in 2006 after transferring there in my senior year to focus on studying art. I think the schools are making strides in serving students from different socioeconomic background like me. They are starting to celebrate Latino culture, but there ‘THE VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE’ Acrylic on canvas. are still some gaps.

Enduring Questions

The Power of Art After graduating from high school, I attended Santa Rosa Junior College, which gave me a foundation in government, mathematics and art. I transferred to Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute in 2011 on a partial scholarship and graduated with a BFA in 2013, thanks in no small part to the many people who bought my artworks and helped me get through school.

During my time at Pratt, I created a nonprofit program called One City Arts. Now it’s a permanent program at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts that teaches art to children from lowincome backgrounds.

The arts are a leveling factor.

Arts and education are important to improve our lifestyle, but they also enhance our sense of belonging in a country where immigrants too often feel displaced. That sense has only gotten worse in recent days.

Nationalism and white supremacy have long served to erase the history of the indigenous people of Americas and oppress the immigrant community—a community forced to migrate to a country, for economic or political reasons, that grows increasingly unwelcoming.

I graduated from Yale University with an MFA in painting in 2015. That was something I’d never have expected to achieve because of my background. My time at Yale taught me many things and introduced me to a lot of people and ideas that have shifted my perception of who I am and my perception of what my work is about. Everything I am has been shaped by the United States. And it has been shaped by its people—

the people who are always there for me, those who have been aggressive toward me, who have stereotyped me, who forced upon me the internalized oppression of the undocumented that I live with and am trying to overcome.

recently, as I’ve been forced to engage with the realities of Trump’s immigration crackdown.

I have to stay out of trouble and I have to make sure I am following the rules, and that where I’m living is safe—both physically and legally. Because of Trump, I’ve moved to a new place, closed my art studio and I put a lot of my artwork in storage to keep it safe.

Thanks, Obama I was able to go to Italy last summer thanks to the visa waiver program, which was provided by President Barack Obama’s executive order designed to protect “Dreamers” like me from deportation. Thanks to him, we could travel abroad for our studies without fear that we wouldn’t be able to return to the United States. I came forward and registered as a Dreamer when Obama announced the waiver, which discouraged ICE agents from targeting the children of the undocumented. Obama’s 2014 waiver represented a “spiritual pardon” for the former president given the number of people he deported in his presidency.

In Italy, I saw the great works of the Italian Renaissance, but also glimpsed the country’s economic and refugee crisis. I didn’t want to go back to the United States, and I felt the weight of antiimmigrant ideology forced upon me when I arrived back here and went through the immigration checkpoints. I was put in an empty, gray room for questioning and was ultimately allowed back into the country. I rode the train home with somebody I had just met who waited for me on the other side of customs. I wanted someone to wait for me just in case I didn’t come out—in case I was threatened with deportation.

Not My Dream I never wanted the American dream. It was never my desire.

The American dream has been stabbed into the heart of the Americas, the American continent, and it has shaped who I am. It has destroyed many families and it continues to do so. The American dream is a tool used to oppress. This is where I find myself now: trying to create art that can heal me from it all, art that is just, open, contradictory, but also that can try to help.

‘PATRIOTISM, U.S.A.’ Watercolor on paper.

Identity is a subject that excites me as an an artist, since art goes beyond walls—it crosses all borders. I am excited to talk about identity and to figure out identity through fashion. That’s my big plan—to create a couture fashion line. I’ve been interested in this since I was young, when my grandma gave me hand-tailored dresses that she confiscated from my aunt because they were too short. Given the renewed antiimmigration push by Trump, I’ve been in a dark place and I want to come back to a positive place with positive acts—using my art as an extension into couture, and the connection to identity.

This is the issue Dreamers face now: identity and internalized racism and oppression. For me,

those things are imposed on the body. I am creating wearable couture sculptures which have imagery that addresses bicultural identity and which helps free me from the internalized oppression of “illegality.”

I know there are dangers in sharing my story. Now the politics and the beauty I see are all going into the garments that I make. I need to deal with my emotions that way. There is such darkness now. We need something beautiful.

VERSES NOT WALLS While Donald Trump hopes building a wall will close off the border, Jonah Raskin hopes his new book of poems opens minds.

Poetic Response Author Jonah Raskin denounces the Trump era in new poetry book BY CHARLIE SWANSON

‘P

eople don’t want to be deported,” says Jonah Raskin. That seems like an obvious sentiment, but it’s one that is increasingly becoming a battle cry in California and other states, as Trump’s administration ramps up deportation efforts against undocumented Latino immigrants and their children.

“California is their home; they live here, have families here, work here. They feel like they’re part of the fabric of the community,” Raskin says. “There wouldn’t be food on the table and wine to drink if Latinos weren’t around.

But more importantly, they’re human beings. They’re our fellow human beings.”

Troubled by events of the last four months, Raskin, who has written over a dozen books and is a professor emeritus at

Sonoma State University, recently completed his newest collection of poetry, titled No Walls Now: New Poems for the Trump Era (Culture Counter Press).

Made up of 17 poems written in the aftermath of the election, the book is both a political statement and a personal one.

“Poems are immediate and visceral,” says Raskin, who is also a biographer, screenwriter, essayist, novelist and journalist.

“Poems are overtly political, but

they’re also personal. I wanted to do both.”

Born in 1942, Raskin’s earliest memories include hearing about concentration camps in Europe and Japanese internment camps on the West Coast. He says the current state of events has wakened an unconscious body of memories.

No Walls Now opens with the poem “In the Dark Lake,” in which Raskin’s memories of bedtime stories and childhood nightmares resurface in the wake of “neo-Nazi headlines” and “history unleashed from its grave.”

“The poems started out being responses to the media,” he says.

“They became poems that go back and forth between the present and memories of the past.”

While a majority of the book deals with immigration and deportation, some poems touch on subjects like the looming environmental crisis poised to strike if the current administration continues to roll back the EPA. Others bristle with anxiety and dread over the rising American imperialism.

All of the poems are dated, offering the reader a day-by-day account of Raskin’s emotional responses to major stories. “I wanted to capture one person’s emotional, psychological response to what’s going on, like a poetic diary,” says Raskin.

No Walls Now at least ends on a note of hope, as the recent rains give way to swollen rivers, blooming flowers and “spring ready to sing its song again.”

“Life goes on,” says Raskin. “To stop would be defeat.”

Jonah Raskin reads from ‘No Walls Now’ with ‘Bohemian’ copy editor Gary Brandt, reading from his novel ‘The Vault Apocalyptia,’ on Saturday, March 11, at SoCo Coffee, 1015 Fourth St., Santa Rosa. 4pm. Free.

HATEFUL Sandra Ish and

Peter Downey square off in Edward Albee’s masterpiece.

Albee Damned Main Stage West reinvigorates a classic

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

‘F

amiliar stories are the best.” So suggests a wistfully inebriated Honey (Rose Roberts), murmuring her barely conscious remark at a pivotal point in Edward Albee’s brutally brilliant Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Whatever familiarity you might have with the play, and with George and Martha and Honey and Nick—the funny and ferocious couples whose relationships unravel spectacularly in this 1962 Tony winner—you’d be well advised to leave your expectations (and past disappointments) at the door of Main Stage West. That’s where director David Lear and an

excellent cast have mixed up a dry and dirty, perfectly poured staging of Albee’s masterpiece, a caustic excoriation of modern marriage and the deadly addictiveness of illusion and deceit.

Notoriously difficult to stage, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has nothing to do with the titular author, whose name only appears here in references to a joke made earlier in the evening—a joke we never hear ourselves. George (a sensational Peter Downey) is a middling history professor, and his wife, Martha (Sandra Ish, marvelous), resents him for his lack of academic ambition. One morning, following a lengthy faculty dinner, George and Martha invite another couple over for drinks. Nick (John Browning, strong in a difficult role) is a new biology professor, and his wife, Honey (Roberts), well, Honey has a habit of throwing up when things become too “intense.”

As George and Martha callously use these wide-eyed newbies as ammunition in their bitter, decades-long battle of disappointment and regret, Lear masterfully keeps the tone light, recognizing that the escalating cruelty of these angry people’s witty but pain-fueled words works best when delivered as if it’s all actually hilarious—which it frequently is.

The Main Stage production includes Ish’s priceless expression when Honey, having just arrived with Nick, places a potted Venus flytrap in her hand as a “hostess gift.” And words cannot describe Roberts’ jaw-dropping brilliance when Honey launches an improvised dance that includes elements of ballet, hand-jive and a mime stuck in a box.

The brilliance of Albee’s script, and this razor-sharp interpretation, lies in the awareness that beautiful truths can be found even among people as vile and hateful as these.

Rating (out of 5): ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ runs Thursday–Sunday through March 19 at Main Stage West, 104 N. Main St., Sebastopol. Thursday–Saturday at 8pm; 5pm matinees on Sunday. $15–$27. 707.823.0177.

IRIE EYES ARE SMILING Harris

Stafford’s new band draws on traditional roots reggae.

Positive Vibes

Harrison Stafford assembles his crew

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

B

efore he was the face of the world-touring, reggae-fusion phenomenon Groundation, Harrison Stafford was a kid from the East Bay who grew up struggling to find an identity.

The son of a jazz pianist, Stafford was the only Jewish kid among his friends. He felt a sense of isolation until his older brother introduced him to the music of Bob Marley and Israel Vibration.

“I fell in love with it,” he says.

“You could say jazz music was my father’s music, and reggae was mine. It gave me a strength.”

After studying jazz guitar at Sonoma State University, Stafford formed Groundation in 1998 with some fellow students. The band found international success with

its mix of polyrhythmic reggae and jazz-inspired harmonies. For over a decade, Stafford toured constantly with Groundation while also working on projects ranging from teaching a class at SSU on the history of reggae—where he got the nickname “Professor”—to producing a documentary film on the same subject.

“Reggae is the discussion of equality, freedom, liberty,” says Stafford. “I wanted to be a part of that, because that struggle is the whole progression of life we’ve been building on for thousands of years.”

Coming from California, a place that offers all the comforts of the First World, Stafford saw during his travels that the world is filled with great imbalance. “I wanted to be a part of the fight for more justice and equality for the planet.”

Now splitting his time between California and Jamaica, and raising three children with his wife, Stafford is returning to Sonoma County with a new lineup he’s calling the Professor Crew to play a special homecoming show at Redwood Cafe in Cotati.

While Groundation was an outfit infused with jazz influence, the Professor Crew is Stafford’s chance to explore the roots of reggae.

“There was a longing for me to play straight reggae, and to learn from the elders here in Jamaica,” says Stafford.

In 2008, the musician began working with Rasta legends like drummer Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace and songwriter Gregory Isaacs to develop his roots reggae sound, marked by simple rhythms and spiritual themes.

As a proponent of freedom and equality, Stafford is frustrated with the anti-immigrant climate in the United States, though he believes the music and energy he makes can be a positive force. “Once you put it out there, it can’t be taken back,” he says. “So let’s put out those good vibrations.”

Harrison Stafford & the Professor Crew perform on Friday, March 10, at Redwood Cafe, 840 Old Redwood Hwy., Cotati. 8pm. $20–$25; 18 and over. 707.795.7868.

Fly Like a Dragon Kasey Chambers lands in the Bay Area From the time she played in her family band at age 10, Australian Kasey Chambers has been crafting and innovating a new era of countryrock and folk music to universal acclaim and international renown.

A solo performer since she was 22 and now regarded as one of the continent’s premier songwriters, Chambers soars to new heights with her brand-new album, Dragonfly.

Chambers’ 11th solo record in 18 years of recording, Dragonfly is an expansive double album filled with blues-tinged ballads and dusty roots-rock. Featuring special guests like Keith Urban and Ed Sheeran, the album debuted in Australia at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, the Australian equivalent of the Billboard charts.

Though the album is not slated for U.S. release until later this spring, Chambers is touching down in the Bay Area, kicking off an American tour with dates in Berkeley and Mill Valley on March 9 and 10, respectively.

Longtime Marin songwriter and guitarist Danny Click opens both shows, joining Australia’s top folk export for two nights of country music.

Kasey Chambers performs on Thursday, March 9, at 8pm at Freight & Salvage (2020 Addison St., Berkeley; $30–$35; 510.664.2020) and Friday, March 10, at 9pm at Sweetwater Music Hall (19 Corte Madera Ave., Mill Valley; $35-$40; 415.388.3850).

For the week of March 8

ARIES (March 21–April 19) As soon as you can, sneak away to a private place where you can be alone—preferably to a comfy sanctuary where you can indulge in eccentric behavior without being seen or heard or judged. When you get there, launch into an extended session of moaning and complaining.

I mean do it out loud. Wail and whine and whisper about everything that’s making you sad and puzzled and crazy. For best results, leap into the air and wave your arms. Whirl around in erratic figure eights while drooling and messing up your hair. Breathe extra deeply. And all the while, let your pungent emotions and poignant fantasies flow freely through your wild heart. Keep on going until you find the relief that lies on the other side.

“I’ve always belonged to what isn’t where I am and to what I could never be,” wrote Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935). That was his prerogative, of course. Or maybe it was a fervent desire of his, and it came true. I bring his perspective to your attention, Taurus, because I believe your mandate is just the opposite, at least for the next few weeks: You must belong to what is where you are. You must belong to what you will always be.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) Nothing is ever as simple as it may seem. The bad times always harbor opportunities. The good times inevitably have a caveat.

According to my astrological analysis, you’ll prove the latter truth in the coming weeks. On one hand, you will be closer than you’ve been in many moons to your ultimate sources of meaning and motivation. On the other hand, you sure as hell had better take advantage of this good fortune. You can’t afford to be shy about claiming the rewards and accepting the responsibilities that come with the opportunities.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Seek intimacy with experiences that are dewy and slippery and succulent.

Make sure you get more than your fair share of swirling feelings and flowing sensations, cascading streams and misty rain, arousing drinks and sumptuous sauces, warm baths and purifying saunas, skin moisturizers and lustrous massages, the milk of human kindness and the buttery release of deep sex—and maybe even a sensational do-it-yourself baptism that frees you from at least some of your regrets. Don’t stay thirsty, my undulating friend. Quench your need to be very, very wet. Gush and spill. Be gushed and spilled on.

LEO (July 23–August 22) Would you like to live to the age of 99? If so, experiences and realizations that arrive in the coming weeks could be important in that project. A window to longevity will open, giving you a chance to gather clues about actions you can take and meditations you can do to remain vital for 10 decades.

I hope you’re not too much of a serious, know-it-all adult to benefit from this opportunity. If you’d like to be deeply receptive to the secrets of a long life, you must be able to see with innocent, curious eyes. Playfulness is not just a winsome quality in this quest; it’s an essential asset.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) You’re ripe.

You’re delectable. Your intelligence is especially sexy.

I think it’s time to unveil the premium version of your urge to merge. To prepare, let’s review a few flirtation strategies. The eyebrow flash is a good place to start.

A subtle, flicking lick of your lips is a fine follow-up.

Try tilting your neck to the side ever so coyly. If there are signs of reciprocation from the other party, smooth your hair or pat your clothes. Fondle nearby objects like a wine glass or your keys. And this is very important: Listen raptly to the person you’re wooing. (P.S.: If you already have a steady partner, use these techniques as part of a crafty plan to draw him or her into deeper levels of affection.)

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Let’s talk about a compassionate version of robbery. The thieves who practice this art don’t steal valuable things you love. Rather, they pilfer stuff you don’t actually need but are reluctant to let go of. For example, the spirit of a beloved ancestor may sweep into your nightmare and carry off a delicious poison that has been damaging you in ways you’ve become comfortable with. A

bandit angel might sneak into your imagination and burglarize the debilitating beliefs and psychological crutches you cling to as if they were bars of gold. Are you interested in benefiting from this service? Ask and you shall receive.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Evolved Scorpios don’t fantasize about bad things happening to their competitors and adversaries. They don’t seethe with smoldering desires to torment anyone who fails to give them what they want. They may, however, experience urges to achieve TOTAL CUNNING DAZZLING MERCILESS VICTORY over those who won’t acknowledge them as golden gods or golden goddesses. But even then, they don’t indulge in the deeply counterproductive emotion of hatred. Instead, they sublimate their ferocity into a drive to keep honing their talents. After all, that game plan is the best way to accomplish something even better than mere revenge: success in fulfilling their dreams. Please keep these thoughts close to your heart in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

“The noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world,” wrote Martin Luther (1483–1546), a revolutionary who helped break the stranglehold of the Catholic Church on the European imagination. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you’re entering a phase when you need the kind of uprising that’s best incited by music. So I invite you to gather the tunes that have inspired you over the years, and also go hunting for a fresh batch. Then listen intently, curiously and creatively as you feed your intention to initiate constructive mutation. Its time to overthrow anything about your status quo that is jaded, lazy, sterile or apathetic.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) “Either you learn to live with paradox and ambiguity or you’ll be six years old for the rest of your life,” says author Anne Lamott. How are you doing with that lesson, Capricorn? Still learning? If you would like to get even more advanced teachings about paradox and ambiguity—as well as conundrums, incongruity and anomalies—there will be plenty of chances in the coming weeks. Be glad! Remember the words of Nobel Prize–winning physicist Niels Bohr: “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.”

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Lichen is a hardy form of life that by some estimates covers 6 percent of the earth’s surface. It thrives in arctic tundra and rainforests, on tree bark and rock surfaces, on walls and toxic slag heaps, from sea level to alpine environments. The secret of its success is symbiosis.

Fungi and algae band together (or sometimes fungi and bacteria) to create a blended entity; two very dissimilar organisms forge an intricate relationship that comprises a third organism. I propose that you regard lichen as your spirit ally in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You’re primed for some sterling symbioses.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

If you normally wear adornments and accessories and fine disguises, I invite you not to do so for the next two weeks. Instead, try out an unembellished, what-you-see-is-what-youget approach to your appearance. If, on the other hand, you don’t normally wear adornments and accessories and fine disguises, I encourage you to embrace such possibilities in a spirit of fun and enthusiasm. Now you may inquire: How can these contradictory suggestions both apply to the Pisces tribe? The answer: There’s a more sweeping mandate behind it all; namely, to tinker and experiment with the ways you present yourself . . . to play around with strategies for translating your inner depths into outer expression.
