It’s Scientific

No Gracias

There is research, there are studies and the medical uses are proven (“Clearing the Air,” April 19). Doctors need to be re-educated in order to prescribe the right kind in the right dosage. And Marin County needs to wake up and allow dispensaries to exist in this county.

Shame on the supervisors for kicking this can to the curb, again.

Sorry, but I’ve been reading for years about Mexican nationals growing marijuana in our state parks, on other people’s rural land, etc. (“Double Trouble,” April 19). These are dangerous criminals and should have no rights here! I just signed a petition to protest Trump’s first deportation of a young DACA person, but you’re asking me to care about this guy?

That’s ridiculous, and you’ve lost me.

Nowhere in the story does it say the Mexican national in question was growing cannabis on state park land or on “other people’s rural land.”—Editor

Too Buzzed It seems that the marijuana situation entirely dominates the press at the moment. There is just too much buzz around it. Everywhere I have lived in California, there were people growing,

smoking, infusing it, for at least a decade. My herbalist almanac, published in 1970, lists marijuana under letter m. It’s an herb, not the Herb.

While it has some medicinal properties, it’s definitely not suitable for everyone, due to its strong effects on the liver.

Besides, there are far more important things going on both globally and locally.

Marijuana is turning into another fad, with people rushing to make money on gourmet $500 weed-infused dinners and things like that. Let’s keep a perspective on things.

Just Cause How can we be against a humane policy requiring landlords to have reasonable rationale for evicting tenants? Measure C prevents landlords from expelling responsible tenants by requiring them to provide legal rationale for eviction, preventing evictions based on ethnicity, documentation status, family size or desire to find tenants who will pay more. Under this proposed policy, landlords are still allowed to remove tenants who present public nuisances, safety hazards, are habitually late on rent, in arrears, don’t allow access to the rental units, or if the owner intends to move into the unit within 90 days.

As a community, we cannot allow our lower income neighbors to be forced to tolerate unsafe, inadequate housing for fear that if they complain they will become homeless in this zero-vacancy city. That’s why I’m voting yes on Measure C.

And another Fox News stalwart bites the dust BY E. G. SINGER

O

nce again, a man with an overgrown ego, known for his bluster and rudeness, has been laid low by what he called “unsubstantiated allegations” regarding his behavior.

Employed at Fox News Corporation for more than 20 years, Bill O’Reilly became the face and voice of an organization pandering a “populist,” right-wing ideology while lining its shareholders’ pockets. He rode roughshod over everybody in the organization except CEO and Fox News chairman Roger Ailes. Ailes’ own blind defense of O’Reilly’s indiscretions was bizarre, given his own similar boorish behavior that led to his being shown the door 10 months earlier.

Why O’Reilly decided to settle his legal matters rather than having his day in court to challenge such “spurious charges” is suspect. Perhaps it was the reality of being confronted by many women willing to speak truth to power that he could not abide, or the ensuing publicity that would trail after him like the stench of shit on a shoe sole. More than likely it was his reading of the tea leaves while “on vacation” and remembering the employment termination/escape clause in his contract, which would give him at least a $25 million bailout parachute from a crippled airliner.

No matter. In the end, the day belongs to the women who fought to keep this story alive, whether they received financial compensation or not. They were courageous in putting their professional lives on the line. Perhaps, these brave women’s actions will have a ripple effect, not only empowering more women, but also inspiring the men who work side by side with them to display the same integrity when misogynist and racist comments and behavior occur in the workplace, and to stand up together.

And what now of Mr. O’Reilly? Well, I wouldn’t worry too much about Billy. I understand there is an opening on The Apprentice. Maybe he should call Donny. They’re friends, you know.

Paper THE

TAKE IT TO THE STREET Sheriff Steve Freitas says he’s not running for reelection, but a citizens’ group

wants to recall him anyway.

Total Recall

Citizens’ group pushes for special election to replace Sonoma County sheriff BY TOM GOGOLA

A

citizens’ group formed to push for a recall election of Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas cleared a hurdle last week when the county registrar of voters approved the paperwork for a petition that set in motion a signature-drive campaign.

The Community Action Coalition group now has until Sept. 30 to gather 35,000 signatures to force a special

recall election, which would be scheduled within 80 days of the Sept. 30 deadline. The group is demanding a recall election before a scheduled November 2018 vote in an election that won’t feature Freitas; the sheriff has roughly two years left on his term, and says he isn’t running again.

Coalition spokesperson Evelina Molina says two years is plenty of time for worry in light of the antiimmigrant Trump administration and ongoing community outrage over the 2013 Andy Lopez shooting. Given the logistics

of the recall, she says, if it were successful, it would effectively shave six months off of Freitas’ term. “That is very significant,” she says. “We don’t totally know how much ICE is being built up— six months is a lot of time.”

She describes her group’s efforts as a David vs. Goliath struggle between the $150 million budget of the sheriff’s office and the 15-member volunteer organization group behind the recall effort. And, she says, “there is a possibility that Freitas could change his mind,” and decide to

run again after all. That seems a slim possibility given Freitas’ response to the recall effort.

In a parallel development, civil rights attorney Alicia Roman, chairperson of the Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach’s Community Advisory Council, was removed from the body on March 15 by IOLERO executive director Jerry Threet.

Threet, the county auditor hired in 2016 to audit the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office’s (SCSO) internal investigations and work to bridge a chasm of bad faith in the community, explained his decision in a public statement that highlighted Roman’s unwillingness, he said, to work with the sheriff’s department to implement reforms and build trust in the county’s Latino community.

Roman is the lead local attorney behind an unfolding class action suit with thousands of noncitizen clients who claim they’ve been the victims of asset-forfeiture at the hands of law enforcement. She has been on the board since its inception.

The 10-member board voted 8–2 to name her chair in December.

The Police Brutality Coalition of Sonoma County demanded Roman’s reinstatement at Tuesday’s board of supervisors meeting as it also called upon the board to “react to the sheriff’s neglect of the [Citizen Advisory Council’s] work, and rework the mission of the IOLERO,” according to a statement from the organization. In a recent interview with the Bohemian, Threet lamented that a pro-policeleaning member of the council had resigned his post, indicating that the man had provided balance to the council.

Freitas has not attended any of the five Citizen Advisory Council meetings held so far, though he has sent representation from his office. He meets monthly with Threet and recently described the relationship with the auditor in constructive terms and as a work in progress.

As for the recall effort, Freitas challenged it via a letter his office submitted to the registrar of voters that highlighted the cost to taxpayers of a special election.

Deena Thompson-Stalder,

Uncle Scam Wants You Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch announced last week that her office has set up a new consumer-fraud service—a move that could not have come at a better time, as the anticonsumer, anti-environment Trump hits his 100-day mark and pledges to destroy the planet and all the consumer protections instituted by Barack Obama, while he is at it.

Sonoma County citizens are encouraged to sign up for the service, which Ravitch says will help people avoid scams by offering regular alerts through the Environmental and Consumer Law Division of the district attorney’s office, which enforces those laws to “protect our citizens and environment from those who would pollute our air, ground or water or degrade our uniquely beautiful natural resources—as well as from those who would engage in fraudulent, dishonest or unlawful business practices.”

Elections Manager at the County of Sonoma Registrar of Voters, says her office has run the numbers and the recall election would cost between $476,000 and $748,000 to administer.

The intersecting police reform actions follow the 2013 shooting of Andy Lopez. Activists’ frustration with Freitas and the SCSO—Erick Gelhaus, the officer who shot the 13-year-old, remains a street officer and was promoted to sergeant in 2015— has been ramped by a recent meeting Freitas held with five other California sheriffs and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

(The meeting was in Washington before Sessions was sworn in.)

“Our conversations were primarily about ways we could work together to keep our communities safe,” says Freitas in his March 30 letter. He added that “whether you support me or are a critic of my six years as sheriff, I will be leaving office” at the end of 2018.

The president has moved swiftly to ramp up deportation efforts and has enjoined local law enforcement in the effort, with mixed degrees of pushback and participation. Freitas has vowed to not work with ICE at the street level, but the agency is notified when violent offenders or DUI noncitizens are booked into the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility.

The simultaneous recall-Freitas and retain-Roman activism is unfolding as a May 9 federal court date in Pasadena may shine further light on the prospects of a wrongful death suit brought by the Lopez family against Gelhaus and Sonoma County.

The county unsuccessfully argued for limited immunity for Gelhaus—presumably to clear a path to a county settlement without personally implicating the officer—and the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals may address the county’s argument that the shooting was justified under the circumstances. Lopez was carrying two toy weapons when he was shot six times. The county says he turned to point a toy AK-47 weapon at Gelhaus when he and another officer commanded him to drop it.

Oscar Winner Taking asparagus to the next level

O

nce there was a man named Oscar, who took his steak with asparagus, Hollandaise sauce and lump crab. That much we know.

I first enjoyed this triple-threat of decadence atop a 10,000-foot mountain in Albuquerque, where the restaurant’s menu offered any entrée “Oscar-style,” for an additional seven bucks.

The name of this side is a nod

BY ARI LEVAUX

to steak Oscar, in which a filet mignon is dressed up as a sort of surf-’n’-turf eggs Benedict, and there are competing theories over which Oscar deserves credit for this brilliance. The two finalists are Oscar II, the king of Sweden from 1872 to 1905, and Oscar Tschirky, aka Oscar of the Waldorf, a maître d’ at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan in the 1880s.

Regardless of the true identity of the side dish’s creator, it’s a good combination. So good, it

needn’t function just to pretty up some other entrée. The combination of asparagus and seafood, drenched in the smooth, velvety embrace of Hollandaise, presents more than enough deliciousness to qualify as its own dish. It is the richest sauce, combined with the most luxurious of seafood and the most decadent of vegetables.

While asparagus doesn’t contain fatty deposits of its own, it plays well with the lipids of others. When asparagus is cooked

with fish, it can absorb its fatty juices. Fish and asparagus is an old combination. The earliest known recipe for asparagus, recorded in Latin by Marcus Apicius in the world’s oldest surviving cookbook, De Re Culinaria, involved baking asparagus with a fermented oily fish sauce called garum.

That garum sounds nice and all, but I think I prefer a nice wild salmon steak, with the bone in and skin on for extra juiciness.

Coat it with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt and garlic powder and some mellow herbs like thyme or herbes de Provence.

Or go Asian-style Oscar: coat with sesame oil and rub with 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch or two of black pepper, then add 3 tablespoons soy sauce.

Snap off the tough ends of your asparagus by feeling where the stalk wants to break. Arrange the spears like logs in a raft on the bottom of a baking dish, with a tablespoon or two of butter on top. Sprinkle with chopped lemongrass or zest of lemon/lime (or both). Lay the fish on top and bake it at 350 degrees until done the way you like it. The asparagus will cook apace.

As for that Hollandaise, that little black-diamond slope of kitchen alchemy—it’s as unforgiving as it is prestigious, but it can be made by mere mortals. You’ll need a whisk and a double boiler, preferably one that consists of a metal bowl with a rounded bottom or in a pot of simmering water.

The first step is to clarify the butter. Heat a stick of butter in a thick-bottomed pan on low heat.

Watch it like a hawk, stirring every time it starts to bubble.

After about five minutes there will be foam floating on top of the pot, and crud at the bottom. Let it cool for a few minutes, then spoon off the foam and carefully pour the clarified butter into a good pouring dish, being careful not to allow any crud or foam scum to pass, using a spoon to play defense if necessary.

If you wish, asparagus can

be poached in the butter as it clarifies, perhaps broken into little pieces. Add a little extra butter if you want to do that, and remove the asparagus right after spooning off the floating scum.

Alternatively, poach your asparagus separately in butter, or half butter and half olive oil, for a rich result. Serve asparagus destined for Hollandaise at room temperature or warmer.

In addition to the clarified butter you will need: 1 tbsp. lemon or lime juice or light vinegar 1 egg yolk 1/4 tsp. teaspoon salt 2 tbsp. water Combine all of these except the yolk in the double boiler, with the water on the lightest of simmers.

Then kill the heat, leaving the bowl in place, and whisk in the yolk. Keep whisking until it’s a froth of bubbles. Beating continuously, slowly pour in the liquid clarified butter, a few drops at a time at first, whisking them in until completely incorporated, then adding more drops. When half of the butter has been used, you can add it a little faster.

You should, at this point, have Hollandaise.

Blanching is fine, and then shocking in ice water to keep the bright green color and serving at room temperature. One little hack is to poach the asparagus in the Hollandaise butter as it clarifies.

Just add a few more tablespoons of butter to account for what will be lost on the poached asparagus.

Remove the asparagus right after spooning off milk solids on top, right before pouring off the clarified butter.

As it is the season of asparagus, it’s time to get our Oscars on.

Those ideas will hopefully get you started, but there are infinite ways to combine asparagus and seafood with Hollandaise. If you want to substitute steak or cauliflower for the fish, it’s still fine. It doesn’t matter which way you do it. The important thing is that you do it, and that you don’t screw up the Hollandaise. Oscar, whoever he was, would be proud.

Yes We Can Sonoma Springs joins the metal movement

BY JAMES KNIGHT

T

he only thing I wanted to know about beer in a can when I showed up to witness Sonoma Springs Brewing Company’s inaugural canning session was, how do they put the beer in the can without it foaming all over the place? Right away I got my answer: the beer foams all over the place.

That’s a feature, not a flaw, of the process, says canning-line operator Adam Satrom. The carbon dioxide in the frothy brew helps to push out any remaining oxygen while the lids are fastened to the cans. It’s all about keeping the DO—dissolved oxygen—out of the can, chimes in another member of

the five-dude crew from the Can Van, a mobile canning service founded by two women as a college project. The Can Van is now in constant demand up and down the West Coast as breweries like Sonoma Springs turn to pint-sized aluminum cans to put their flagship beers on the market.

Even then, a little bit of that DO does find its way into the can. “Our target range is 20 to 40 parts per billion,” says Satrom. “If you have a drop of air, there goes your parts per billion.” Oxygen is the enemy of beer, or more to the point, of beer freshness. Hop aromas are particularly vulnerable to oxidation over a short period of time.

For what seems like the longest time, glass was class, and the 22ounce “bomber” a symbol of cool, quality craft beer in contrast to the derisory epithet “six-pack” that affixed to mass-market aluminum beer packaging. So what, exactly, is going on—is this a “green” packaging thing? Not necessarily. It all goes back to the DO. Although glass is bottled under counterpressure and less oxygen gets into the bottle at first, the caps somehow let in about one part per billion per day. Over time, the bottle loses its advantage, making the can a worthy vessel for the mildly hopped Sonoma Springs kölschstyle ale. Tasted on bottling day and three weeks later, it held up well. Not a wetter, weaker pale ale, like some microbrew kölsch, it’s actually more like a nicely bittered, spot-on version of American-style lager produced by mega-breweries, just so much fresher, a little grainier and locally made by master brewer and founder Tim Goeppinger.

The brewery’s newest can release, available April 28, is a New England–style IPA called Juicy in the Sky. Meanwhile, Sonoma Springs signatures like the sweet and spicy Roggenbier Bavarian rye are available at the taproom.

Add It Up Tallying the damage of Trump’s first 100 days BY TOM GOGOLA

D

onald Trump has been in office 100 days as of April 29 and as we reach this milestone (millstone?), we add up the ways the popular vote loser has been a disaster for the North Bay and civilization at large.

1. Fuel-Efficiency Fallout

President Obama bails out the auto industry, and now the industry gets the back-seat deal from Trump on fuel-efficiency rollbacks? The administration has vowed to eliminate the phased-in standards. California can hold the line, says Gov. Brown, but you can’t stop the guzzlers from crossing the border.

2. Bank-Fee Freedom The fine print in numerous areas of consumer concern got a lot less mean under Obama, under rules instituted by Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), both of which Trump has vowed to repeal and eliminate. For the time being, enjoy the absence of bigly overdraft fees when you go 35 cents into the red on your checking account.

3. Car-Loan Reforms The CFPB

leveraged a North Bay lawsuit that paid out to thousands of car buyers who’d been subjected to discrimination at the dealership.

Trump has vowed to kill the CFPB, so there goes another great reform.

Access to reproductive care is threatened by Trump’s call to defund Planned Parenthood, bad news for low-income women and families who depend on the services. The good news: public support for Planned Parenthood has never been higher.

8. Disconnect Decrees The Justice Department under Obama sought and obtained binding consent decrees (legal agreements) in various local police departments and jails to bring them into compliance with the Constitution. Attorney General Jeff Sessions: We’re not doing that anymore.

9. Civil Rights Investigations

The FBI swooped into Santa Rosa when Andy Lopez was killed by a Sonoma County sheriff’s deputy. Sessions’ Department of Justice?We’ll take a pass, thanks.

10. Militarization of Police

Trump has proposed a $753 quintillion defense budget to make America Great Again.

The older military hardware trickles down to half-failed states and any needful locality with a Black Lives Matters “problem” or otherwise.

11. California McCarthyism

The rugged hard-right California congressional delegation

The promised trillion-dollar boondoggle will have devilish details to sort out locally, and Democratically, as the corporateindustrial juggernaut meets with the business-class POTUS and the actual need on the ground in Sonoma and elsewhere. It could get awkward with “Blue Dog” Dems like Mike Thompson pledging cooperation.

13. ICE Meltdowns New anti-

immigration edicts from the administration have taken hold as California sheriffs react with varying degrees of participation and as Dreamers have nightmares about Jeff Sessions with a Gitmo switchblade.

14. Roads to Ruin Trump’s

road-building plan eliminates the federal Department of Transportation with its $500 million budget. OK, dude. A Petaluma pothole has meanwhile taken its latest victim.

15. Endangered Species Act I

Trump’s not going to let a few squirrely butterflies intrude on his business plan, as his minions push him to blow off the ESA wherever and whenever possible.

The wolves can move to Canada or face execution if they don’t like it.

16. Endangered Species Act II

Trump-emboldened California Republican congressman Tom McClintock wants to “reform” the act to allow for logging of previously off-limits forests— to end the apocalyptic fires that have plagued the state. It therefore holds that if you support salamanders, you hate first responders. Nice try.

17. Endangered Species Act III

The good news is that Trump has yet to send his sons to kill the last American buffalo—and California’s ESA is a rugged and court-challenged law that has saved numerous California beasts from extinction. ) 14

driven spike in incentive raids at dispensaries seeing an uptick in business as a recreational crackdown sends users to the canna-doc. The good news is it’s never too late for a CBD rubdown to shake a man to his soul.

19. Elder Abuse The elders of West Marin, Sebastopol, San Rafael and other havens of spiritual decency are in for some real pain on numerous fronts—any room for Alzheimer’s research at the gutted National Institutes of Health under Trump’s budget? Nope.

20. Homeless Veteran Surge

It’s axiomatic that if the administration withholds the number of American troops it is sending into harm’s way, then their disappearance into a USS Vinsonland of “miscommunicated” priorities about care for wounded warriors will ensue upon their return.

21. Economics of Resistance

Trump’s election has created a surge in donations and interest in liberal and progressive groups as he’s pledged to hack away at federal grants that enhance community programs. Can the donations keep pace with the promised cuts? Yes, but we may have to go Doctor Zhivago on Zuckerberg’s S.F. estate.

22. Carbon Cut to Coal Crudity

Ever get the feeling that this whole coal thing is just so Trump can stand around with a bunch of white guys in blackface and not get called out for it?

23. Open Encouragement of Disaster Capitalism Trump has

called for a $500 million cut in FEMA’s pre-pre-preparedness budget, which generally goes for stuff like fires, earthquakes or floods—nothing to worry about in California.

24. Section—Wait? Marin County has a great program where they encourage landlords (or potential ones) to take a Section 8 voucher and rent below market in exchange for a kick-in from the county to

make up the diff. But HUD secretary Ben Carson thinks Section 8 is the devil’s work.

25. Prisoner Program Putsch

That San Quentin is one of the least violent prisons in the state is a direct reflection of its unusually high level of anti-recidivism programs, run mainly by citizens and groups from around the Bay Area. Obama put a priority on grants targeted at education and skills-training programs—a priority mocked by the new administration.

26. Let’s Try That Thing Where We Lock up All the Young Black Boys Again and Hope No One Notices A “crackdown

on crime” threatens any progress Obama and Black Lives Matter have made when it comes to multiple lost generations of young black boys to the prison system.

27. Hedge-Fund Mental-Health Prison Blues The American prison

industry can expect a surge in new business, and with it, a surge in profit to a cadre of select vulture capitalist entities that stand to profit mightily on others’ weakness, illness and pathos.

28. Encouraging Aggression Through Bully-Tactic Normalization The insidious

normalization of the insane equals a possible road-rage meltdown on the commute if you dwell on it too long.

29. Tourism Industry Cooked

Numerous reports have rolled in that the Trump tourism-slump is a real, ongoing deal. The good news is maybe people can afford to live around here again.

30. Brain Drain on Specialized Medical Services Trump’s new

guidance on visas means fewer high-degree specialists from faraway lands will be on call to replace that balky heart valve.

31. National Public Radio Silence These threats come along

every once in a while, but this time they mean it! Thank God for Joan Kroc.

32. Symphony of Sorrowful Cuts It’s not just kinky weird

stuff—high-culture symphonies around the Bay Area rely on

federal arts grants and funds in their annual budgets.

33. Museum of Museums “Hey, remember museums? Well, we’ve got a museum full of them. See, after Me and the Freedom Caucus heroically cut all the funding for arts and culture, we’re down to one museum, but it’s a big one, folks—a museum of museums!

That’ll be $125, double for the kids. I don’t really like kids.”

34. School Arts Programs “You

know, while we’re at it—why are we encouraging this art stuff in school anyway?” Trump’s budget cuts federal funds devoted to school arts programs.

35. PBS a Goner? Mike Pence says he’ll save Sesame Street from the budget axe—but only if Bert and Ernie go through gayconversion therapy.

36. Meals in Wheelbarrows

Elders comprise a significant, growing percentage of Sonoma and Marin counties, and the homebound rely on Meals on Wheels programs that Trump has vowed to cut because they haven’t been adequately means-tested. Or was that mean-tested?

43. Recreational Blowback

Say what you will about Big Cannabis in California, but if it goes, it all goes—and with it, all the investment and opportunity to expand an economy without fracking the state to death.

44. Cannabis and Cartel A cannabis crackdown means a vibrant black market, more cartel violence and a further militarization of police in neighborhoods that don’t need it.

45. $5 a Gallon Just in Time for the Fourth And California

48. Monomaniacal Pursuit of Popular-Vote Victory Trump

said he could have won California if not for the damn illegals, and is hell bent on winning the state in 2020, led by a pack of rabid California advisers who hate-love their home state so much they want to destroy it.

49. Vulnerable and Unhinged

Trump’s relentless criminalization of immigration, the continuous stoking of fear, the violent rhetoric—he’s goading the vulnerable and the ill to live by his example.

50. Paris Accord Is Burning

Trump says he’ll go with the denialists and withdraw from the multilateral accord. The good news is Sonoma Clean Power and Marin Clean Energy will continue to crank out the geo-thermalized truth of the matter.

51. Dairy Disaster Trump’s

pledge to redo NAFTA could upend California’s socialized dairy industry that allows for such

things as organic milk that isn’t $10 a gallon. tried to blackmail Democrats with his “Trumpcare” fail, and now threatens Obamacare erosion by a thousand cuts unless they play along on tax reform and his dumb wall?

53. FEMA Blackmail Trump

executive-blackmailed Democrats by saying he would cut off all FEMA funds to any “sanctuary city.” What happens if the state of California goes sanctuary?

54. Affordable Care Act Waiver Trump’s first executive

order encouraged anyone in the healthcare industry, or in any state, who hates the ACA to do whatever they could to get around its demands. Emergency rooms throughout the North Bay shuddered at the prospect.

55. Hire Power Most federal

employees work outside of Washington, including dozens at Bay Area national parks from Alcatraz to Pt. Reyes National Seashore. They’re all subject to a Jan. 23 federal hiring freeze.

67. He’s Freaking out the Children At least when George

Bush kept reading to the second graders on 9-11 he was doing it for the right reasons. And nobody could calm a crying child like Obama. This guy? On top of cuts to early education that will cut across First Start programs around the North Bay—how about signing a kid’s hat at the Easter Egg Roll and then making him cry when you throw it into the crowd?

Arts Ideas CABARET MADE OF SAND Fans of Vieux Farka Touré, performing a benefit show for Music Is Care, call him the Hendrix of the Sahara.

Shine a Light

Live Music Lantern revives beloved North Bay venue with one-night-only show BY CHARLIE SWANSON

E

lijah and Kaya Barntsen, the brother and sister co-founders of Sonoma County nonprofit Live Music Lantern, were looking for a way to repay those who had helped them through a personal crisis.

In 2007, their mother, a childcare professional whom they describe as a loving and selfless person, was diagnosed

with bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia.

As they navigated the waters of caring for their mother, they found that the dedicated professionals who worked in the public health and mental health sectors were often overworked, underappreciated and sometimes burned out.

“Without them, their support, guidance and education, we wouldn’t have made it out of this crisis,” Elijah Barntsen says. “We

really wanted to do something for them.”

Live Music Lantern was born out of this idea and, since 2014, the nonprofit has been doing its part to bring self-care to local educators and social service providers in the form of free access to concerts and musical experiences at local venues.

“Music is the one thing that kept me going through the crisis, it brought joy and healing to me,” says Barntsen, who works

by day with an online ticketing brokerage. “I wanted to share that with other people, and what better people than those who helped us.”

In addition to offering free concert tickets to employees of organizations like the National Alliance on Mental Illness and Buckelew Programs, as well as Santa Rosa and Petaluma city school districts, Live Music Lantern is branching out this year with a new program, Music Is Care (MIC), which brings local musicians directly to hospitals, shelters and social-service organizations to perform for caregivers and those they care for.

“MIC has been really miraculous,” Barntsen says.

“There’s musical healing going on through this. It’s wonderful to be a part of it and to shine a light in the darkness there.”

The MIC program offers two performances a month, though Live Music Lantern is going to four a month in the coming weeks.

This weekend, Live Music Lantern is holding a special benefit concert with world-class African guitarist Vieux Farka Touré and his band at Congregation Ner Shalom—called the Old Cotati Cabaret for this show—to raise funds for its expanding MIC offerings. Touré’s fans know him as the Hendrix of the Sahara.

Touré’s appearance at the former Cotati Cabaret is a onenight-only resurrection for the venue, explains Barntsen. Though the building has not used the cabaret moniker in some 25 years, the name still resonates in the hearts and minds of North Bay music lovers today.

Vieux Farka Touré performs on Sunday, April 30, at the Old Cotati Cabaret (Congregation Ner Shalom), 85 La Plaza, Cotati. 6pm. $25–$30. livemusiclantern.org.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop musical outshines his better-known ‘Hamilton.’

Soaring High

SRJC’s ‘In the Heights’ is joyous perfection

BY DAVID TEMPLETON

I

n the Heights, the 2008 Tony-winner from a pre-Hamilton LinManuel Miranda, may not be as famous as that gamechanging “historical hip-hop musical.” And it may not feature tunes as catchy and hummable as those Miranda wrote for the animated Disney film Moana.

But in many ways, In the Heights—a simple tale of a multicultural NYC neighborhood dealing with the aftermath of a massive Fourth of July power outage—is a far more joyous, sweet-natured, inspiring and exuberant experience than either of Miranda’s other works.

Currently running at Santa

‘In the Heights’ runs through May 6 at Burbank Auditorium, 1501 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa.

Stage

Rosa Junior College’s Burbank Auditorium, this vibrant show has all the hallmarks of a LinManuel Miranda production: hip-hop and rap fused with other musical traditions (salsa a big one here), a no-apologies celebration of immigrant culture and tunes that challenge and showcase the talents of the performers entrusted to sing them. Under the delightfully detailed direction of John Shillington, with expert musical direction by Janis Wilson, a stunningly good cast of 32 performers brings New York’s Washington Heights to bustling, believable life.

As dawn breaks on what will become a record-hot day, Yusnavi (a charming Joseph Miranda) is opening his tiny bodega, where he scratches out a living selling coffee and lottery tickets, all the while dreaming of someday moving to the Dominican Republic, from which his late parents emigrated.

Meanwhile, neighborhood hero Nina (Jenna Vice, alternating with Katerina Flores) has returned from Stanford University bearing bad news. She’s just dropped out, sharply disappointing her proud parents (Evan Espinoza and Julia Kaplan). They own the local taxi service, where big-dreaming Benny (Cooper Bennett), who’s always had a thing for Nina, now works.

During that evening’s fireworks display, stunningly staged with the use of dazzling projections, the neighborhood’s lights suddenly go out. This sets in motion a series of events that will further challenge Benny, Nina, Yusnavi and Vanessa, along with all the other residents of Washington Heights.

The sheer talent on display throughout the SRJC’s must-see production is vividly remarkable, a true celebration of the richness and promise of Sonoma County’s diverse, incredibly gifted young artistic community.

DIY GUY Andy Pohl’s Fugazi tribute

showcases multiple musical styles.

Sonic Salute

North bay bands give it up for Fugazi

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

A

ndy Pohl was probably 13 years old when he first heard Fugazi. The prolific underground band helped define the Washington, D.C., punk scene in the mid-1980s with a mixture of noise and social consciousness that many dubbed art rock.

“Their whole idea of embracing DIY and having a strong sense of morality and responsibility to uplift everyone in the community was really inspiring to me,” says Pohl. “It stuck with me. And on top of that, their music is really good.”

Pohl credits Fugazi with getting him into music, and the North Bay bassist and guitarist of bands like Kalifornia Redemption, Good City Lie Still and SNIPERS!! always had it in the back of his mind to do a tribute album to the band.

This month, that longtime endeavor sees the light of day when Everybody Wants Somewhere:

‘Everybody Wants Somewhere: A Tribute To Fugazi’ will be available on April 30 at local record stores and online at selltheheartrecords.com and sthr.bandcamp.com.

• Are they spending more time on activities to get them?

• Have they ever used them despite negative consequences?

If the answer to any of these questions was YES, they may have unintentionally become opioid dependent.

Music

A Tribute to Fugazi is released on Pohl’s Sell the Heart Records label.

Featuring 21 bands playing classic Fugazi songs, this massive collection includes 13 tracks on limited-edition vinyl and the rest offered as digital downloads.

“I was really encouraged by the fact that this many people were eager to be a part of this project,” Pohl says.

Tracks by several North Bay artists, including post-rock band the Down House, old-school punks My Last Line, ambient electronica outfit Identical Homes and songwriter Ryan Michael Keller, dot this genre-bending tribute album that also features bands from across the West Coast and beyond.

Everybody Wants Somewhere excels as a tribute by offering a wide array of bands, with diverse styles and genres, putting their own spin on Fugazi’s material and keeping things fresh and surprising throughout.

Some bands, like Berkeley punks Screw 32, stay true to Fugazi’s pulse-pounding energy on their entry, “Public Witness Program.”

Others, like San Diego synth wave group Warsaw, who take on the track “Merchandise,” evoke the ethos of the material while reassembling the melodies to fit their personal aesthetic.

“I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised by what these bands came up with creatively,” Pohl says.

In the spirit of Fugazi’s ethics, this album also acts as a public service, in that all proceeds from the album will be donated to the San Francisco nonprofit Taking It to the Streets. The program helps empower homeless youth in the city by giving them a job cleaning up the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and providing mentoring, safe housing and other services to support self-sufficiency.

“I really love the concept and was compelled by what they’re doing,” Pohl says. “This is going to be an awesome partnership.”

City officials and downtown businesses are hoping the open-space setting, which has been under construction for the last year and eliminates the section of Mendocino Avenue that previously bisected the square between Third and Fourth streets, will be a new focal point for the city, much the way that plazas anchor other North Bay towns like Healdsburg and Sonoma. The public will get its first look at the square with a ribboncutting dedication and daylong festival of events this Saturday.

Santa Rosa mayor Chris Coursey will lead the opening ceremony, local historian Gaye LeBaron will speak on the square’s history and cultural significance, and the Santa Rosa Symphony Brass Quintet will sound the horns on the new era.

Once the site is dedicated, local bands and dance groups will perform in the square throughout the afternoon. There will also be a mini farmers market, beer and wine gardens, and lots of kids activities and family-friendly fun. See for yourself on Saturday, April 29, Old Courthouse Square, Mendocino Avenue and Fourth Street.

THE

Nugget

Too Big to Fail

Undoing legalization would be tough

BY CHRIS CONRAD

M

ore than half of U.S. citizens live in states with some level of marijuana legalization. Yet amid a plethora of polls showing that cannabis legalization is more popular with Americans than ever, the Trump administration is poised to ramp up a failed drug war.

First, Trump appointed racistprohibitionist Jeff Sessions as attorney general and is planning to name yet another failed drug warrior, Congressman Tom Marino, R-Pennsylvania, to head the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Marino has also been a reliable vote in opposition to marijuana reform in Congress.

Trump, who lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes nationally, repeatedly promised

during the campaign to legalize medical marijuana and “let the states decide” about legalizing adult use. Various drug-reform groups warned that his statements could simply be a con act to draw supporters from Hillary Clinton, who was on record in favor of cannabis reform.

The percentage of Americans who “think the use of marijuana should be legal” has increased dramatically over the past 10 years and now stands at a record high, according to polling data compiled by the University of Chicago’s General Social Survey. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

The survey has tracked adults’ opinions on legalizing marijuana since the early 1970s.

Today, 57 percent of adults support legalization, up from 32 percent in 2006. That is the highest percentage of support ever reported by the poll. In 1987, only 16 percent of respondents endorsed legalization.

Support for legalization was strongest among Democrats and younger adults, but fell below 50 percent among Republicans (40 percent) and those over the age of 65 (42 percent).

The survey’s findings are similar to those of other findings—all of which show majority support for regulating the adult use of cannabis.

At a speech at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona on April 11, 2017, Sessions admitted that he was “surprised” that his position against marijuana was drawing criticism. “When they nominated me for attorney general, who would have thought the biggest issue in America was when I said ‘I don’t think America’s going to be a better place if they sell marijuana at every corner grocery store’?”

Sessions asked. “They didn’t like that. I’m surprised they didn’t like that.”

Astrology

BY ROB BREZSNY

For the week of April 26

ARIES (March 21–April 19) I have misgivings when I witness bears riding bicycles or tigers dancing on their hind legs or Aries people wielding diplomatic phrases and making careful compromises at committee meetings. While I am impressed by the disciplined expression of primal power, I worry for the soul of the creature that is behaving with such civilized restraint.

So here’s my advice for you in the coming weeks: Take advantage of opportunities to make deals and forge win-win situations. But also keep a part of your fiery heart untamed. Don’t let people think they’ve got you all figured out.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

“One of the advantages of being disorderly,” said author A. A. Milne, “is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.”

I wouldn’t normally offer this idea as advice to a methodical dynamo like you. But my interpretation of the astrological omens compels me to override my personal theories about what you need. I must suggest that you consider experimenting with jaunty, rambunctious behavior in the coming days, even if it generates some disorder. The potential reward?

Exciting discoveries, of course.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s time for you to take a break from the magic you have been weaving since your birthday in 2016. That’s why I’m suggesting that you go on a brief sabbatical. Allow your deep mind to fully integrate the lessons you’ve been learning and the transformations you have undergone over the past 11 months. In a few weeks, you’ll be ready to resume where you left off. For now, though, you require breathing room. Your spiritual batteries need time to recharge. The hard work you’ve done should be balanced by an extended regimen of relaxed playtime.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Apparently, a lot of kids in the U.K. don’t like to eat vegetables. In response, food researchers in that country marketed a variety of exotic variations designed to appeal to their palate.

The new dishes included chocolate-flavored carrots, pizza-flavored corn and cheese-and-onion-flavored cauliflower. I don’t recommend that you get quite so extreme in trying to broaden your own appeal, Cancerian. But see if you can at least reach out to your potential constituency with a new wrinkle or fresh twist. Be imaginative as you expand the range of what your colleagues and clientele have to choose from.

LEO (July 23–August 22)

In speaking about the arduous quest to become one’s authentic self, writer Thomas Merton used the example of poets who aspire to be original but end up being imitative. “Many poets never succeed in being themselves,” he said. “They never get around to being the particular poet they are intended to be by God. They never become the person or artist who is called for by all of the circumstances of their individual lives. They waste their years in vain efforts to be some other poet. They wear out their minds and bodies in a hopeless endeavor to have somebody else’s experiences or write somebody else’s poems.” I happen to believe that this is a problem for non-poets, as well. Many of us never succeed in becoming ourselves. Luckily for you, Leo, in the coming weeks and months you will have an unprecedented chance to become more of who you really are. To expedite the process, work on dissolving any attraction you might have to acting like someone other than yourself.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) On numerous occasions, French acrobat Charles Blondin walked across a tightrope that spanned the gorge near Niagara Falls. His cable was three and a quarter inches in diameter, 1,100 feet long and 160 feet above the Niagara River. Once he made the entire crossing by doing back flips and somersaults. Another time he carried a small stove on his back, stopped midway to cook an omelet, and ate the meal before finishing. Now would be an excellent time for you to carry out your personal equivalent of his feats, Virgo. What daring actions have you never tried before even though you’ve been sufficiently trained or educated to perform them well?

LIBRA (September 23–October 22)

Ready for

some subterranean journeys? They may not involve literal explorations of deep caverns and ancient tunnels and underground streams. You may not stumble upon lost treasure and forgotten artifacts and valuable ruins. But then again, you might. At the very least, you will encounter metaphorical versions of some of the above. What mysteries would you love to solve? What secrets would be fun to uncover? What shadows would you be excited to illuminate?

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Why would you guzzle mind-clouding moonshine when you will eventually get a chance to sip a heart-reviving tonic? Why spoil your appetite by loading up on nonnutritious hors d’oeuvres when a healthy feast will be available sooner than you imagine? I advise you to suppress your compulsion for immediate gratification.

It may seem impossible for you to summon such heroic patience, but I know you can. And in the long run, you’ll be happy if you do.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

“You’ll always be my favorite what-if.” Many years ago, I heard that phrase whispered in my ear. It came from the mouth of a wonderful but impossible woman. We had just decided that it was not a good plan, as we had previously fantasized, to run away and get married at Angkor Wat in Cambodia and then spend the next decade being tour guides who led travelers on exotic getaways to the world’s sacred sites. “You’ll always be my favorite what-if” was a poignant but liberating moment. It allowed us to move on with our lives and pursue other dreams that were more realistic and productive. I invite you to consider triggering a liberation like that sometime soon.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) I’d love to see you increase the number of people, places, and experiences you love, as well as the wise intensity with which you love them. From an astrological perspective, now is an excellent time to upgrade your appreciation and adoration for the whole world and everything in it. To get you in the mood, I’ll call your attention to some unfamiliar forms of ardor you may want to pursue: eraunophilia, an attraction to thunder and lightning; cymophilia, a fascination with waves and waviness; chorophilia, a passion for dancing; asymmetrophilia, a zeal for asymmetrical things; sapiophilia, an erotic enchantment with intelligence.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) You could go online and buy an antique Gothic throne or a psychedelic hippie couch to spruce up your living room.

For your bathroom, you could get a Japanese “wonder toilet,” complete with a heated seat, automated bidet and white-noise generator. Here’s another good idea: You could build a sacred crazy altar in your bedroom where you will conduct rituals of playful liberation.

Or how about this? Acquire a kit that enables you to create spontaneous poetry on your refrigerator door using tiny magnets with evocative words written on them. Can you think of other ideas to revitalize your home environment? It’s high time you did so.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Among America’s 50 states, Texas has the third-highest rate of teenage pregnancies. Uncoincidentally, sex education in Texas is steeped in ignorance. Most of its high schools offer no teaching about contraception other than to advise students to avoid sex. In the coming weeks, Pisces, you can’t afford to be as deprived of the truth as those kids. Even more than usual, you need accurate information that’s tailored to your precise needs, not fake news or ideological delusions or self-serving propaganda. Make sure you gather insight and wisdom from the very best sources.

That’s how you’ll avoid behavior that’s irrelevant to your life goals. That’s how you’ll attract experiences that serve your highest good.
