Sounds Fishy Reading about the good work of Safe Catch (“Can Do,” June 14) bringing us mercury-free tuna was encouraging until I read that the safely caught fish are then shipped all the way to Thailand for cooking and canning. That gives me cause to pause on several levels. That’s a heavy carbon footprint, and what do we know about the working conditions of the Thai preparing your safe tuna?

Sonoma Has Spoken It is time for a legal medicinal cannabis facility in the city of Sonoma. The city council took up this issue on May 20, 2009, when I was mayor. Unfortunatel,y I took the advice of city attorney Tom Curry and recused myself. The result was a 2–2 vote, and the matter was unresolved. A very big mistake on my part.

It is time to place a Sonoma medicinal dispensary on this council’s agenda. I will be in this year’s Fourth of July parade, and I openly ask the public to join us and support us.

Hats Off On behalf of all who drive over the Laguna de Santa Rosa bridge, just east of Morris Street in Sebastopol: I’d like to thank the guys who worked on its construction. You did a great job replacing a narrow, funky structure with an open, wide, welcoming and even beautiful one. The pedestrian/bicycle sidewalks on both sides were much needed. Thanks to all who labored to build this bridge.

Pay Up Wells Fargo directors and the senior executive layer should face criminal indictments. Their dereliction allowed breaches of personal and confidential information. Wells Fargo should have to restate profits and claw-back pay and bonuses to the senior executive layer, as these payments were based on illegal activity. This claw-back should go back as far as the investigation into the bank by the Los Angeles Times. California’s Treasurer, the Consumer Financial ProtectIon Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have taken regulatory steps against Wells Fargo, but the Federal Reserve has done nothing to date, despite its statutory authority.

Does Donald have a Rosebud?

BY E. G. SINGER

I

n 1941, Orson Welles directed and starred in the movie Citizen Kane. The story was loosely based on media magnate William Randolph Hearst, perhaps the grandfather of today’s alt-right news media.

During the movie, Charles Foster Kane is blackmailed over a tryst while running for office and quits the state governor’s race.

Such an incident might have resulted in some self-reflection and insight into his own character. But no! Later—through arrogance, intimidation, denial and the inability to listen to his experts and associates—he forces his wife, a mediocre singer, to perform an opera, only to be publicly humiliated.

Adding insult to injury, a scathing review posted by the hired critic for Mr. Kane’s own newspaper results in that employee being fired. The expected loyalty Mr. Kane demanded gave way to the truth.

Are you listening, Mr. Trump?

It was known that Mr. Kane (or was it Mr. Trump?) spent millions on priceless artwork and antiquities from around the world, to furnish his castle/tower and other homes, and “socialized” and traveled and invested in businesses around the world as well.

But as Mr. Trump—I mean Mr. Kane (sorry!)—grew more powerful, his vision became more myopic, his words and behavior more callous, his temperament more erratic, more paranoid. He vanquished rivals and betrayed friends and associates along the way. Perhaps the ultimate unspoken insult and payback is seen as the camera focuses on Ms. Kane reading her husband’s rival’s newspaper at the dining room table. As she walks out, bags in hand, he is still incredulous, clueless, as to what is transpiring.

Finally, all the trappings come crashing down around this lonely, miserable and forgotten man as the tale unfolds to its inexorable end. And the questions remain: What was it he so desperately sought? What was it that drove him to extremes to prove to the world who he thought he should be? (Mr. Trump . . . hello . . . Mr. Trump . . . are you there?)

Paper THE

DEBR IEFER All Aboard at Last?

First the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit said service would start last winter. Then this spring. Then early summer.

And now? Free rides for everyone! That’s the plan, anyway.

We speak, of course, of the grand opening of the SMART train, which is offering free round-trip rides on June 29, July 1 and July 4. The roundtrip rides on the 29th will commence in Rohnert Park (8am, 10am, 2pm and 4pm) and Marin Civic Center in San Rafael (4pm, 6pm and 8pm).

But the upstart commuter train has been beset by numerous delays and false SMART-starts.

BRIDGING THE GAP Because there are few local immigration attorneys, area nonprofits are stepping in

to help vulernable communities.

Allied Forces

Sonoma County rallies to protect immigrant workers from deportation BY STEPHANIE HILLER

T

he push by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) to deport noncitizens continues unabated across the country, and while grassroots groups are rallying in Sonoma County, resources are stretched to meet the legal and social challenges.

In Sonoma Valley, the Sonoma Valley Action Coalition (SVAC) has taken shape to help protect the local undocumented population from deportation.

The coalition sprung out of an initiative called It Won’t Happen Here, started by Susan Lamont, former director of the Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County in Santa Rosa.

Lamont brought together a group of activists after the 2016

election and called on nonprofits and local governments to endorse a statement of refusal to comply with what she called the oppression of groups likely to be targeted by the Trump administration. In the group were two of us from Sonoma: Claudia Robbins, a retired educator, and myself.

Robbins, a co-founder of SVAC, says It Won’t Happen ) 10 Here helped to spark a

The delays have been lamentably frequent as Sonoma and Marin county residents are charged a quarter-cent sales tax to pay for the rail service, yet have been waiting to climb aboard the train.

We get it. Starting a railroad is a complicated process, and there are lots of moving parts and federal approvals, as SMART argues every time there’s another delay.

This time it looks like they really are ready to roll, and the SMART-loving holiday masses will surely descend on the stations for the free rides—we’ll be there too.

We hope the trains rolls on schedule. Once the free grand opening is done and the rail is officially open—that date has not been set—the roundtrip from Santa Rosa to San Rafael will cost you $19.

Immigration ( 8 countywide conversation among various groups and entities about ICE and its activities.

Robbins’ encouragement helped sway the Sonoma Valley Unified School District City to pass a strong resolution at the end of January affirming its commitment to protect students of all backgrounds and citizenship status.

There are about 38,500 undocumented immigrants in Sonoma County, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. Activists are at work trying to build bridges between organizations like SVAC and members of this large and vulnerable community.

“Groups like the Sonoma Valley Housing Group and members of the First Congregational Church turned their attention to immigration,” Robbins says. “But we still don’t have coordination with the Latino community. We’re working on it.”

The SVAC coalition has had a productive roll-out. A “rapid response” network will be in place in August to ensure that any deportations will be witnessed. A Family Preparedness Committee is putting together materials to help families gather the documents they’ll need to arrange for their children’s care, should they be deported. A Facebook page and website have been set up.

La Luz Center, a Sonoma nonprofit forcused on health, education and financial security for area Latinos, has also turned its attention to providing immigrant support. After the election, La Luz began to distribute wallet-size cards to inform people of their rights.

If ICE shows up, the card says, don’t open the door, ask to see a warrant and call your lawyer.

But where are the lawyers?

According to the American Immigration Council, only 2 percent of people without lawyers were able to successfully avoid deportation. But in Sonoma County, there are only two immigration lawyers. None of

the four lawyers on the SVAC legal defense committee is an immigration attorney.

The field is highly complex, and immigration cases can go on for years, says attorney Steve Barbose, chairman of SVAC’s legal defence committee.

According to Ronit Rubinoff, executive director of Legal Aid of Sonoma County, a Santa Rosa–based nonprofit that aims to promote social justice and human rights among vulnerable communities, local cases are all heard in San Francisco, and along with the lengthy duration of many cases, there’s not a lot of financial incentive for lawyers here to take deportation cases.

Fear of deportation is driving many families away from legal services.

Rubinoff’s biggest concern is how the fear of deportation is affecting families.

“One of the biggest issues is not that people are going to be taken en masse, but that they’re going to crawl under rocks because they’re afraid,” she says. “I think the number of people at risk of deportation is much smaller.”

Because of that fear, she says, immigrants are already less likely to seek legal assistance that would protect them from domestic violence or exploitation by landlords or employers.

But attorneys are preparing for deportations. Sonoma County’s immigration lawyers—Rick Coshnear and Christopher

Kerosky—are leading classes to train lawyers in immigration law.

Thirty lawyers have signed up for the six-week course. The first was held June 24.

The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors has allotted time for the Sonoma County Counsel’s Office to work on the local deportation issue, says chief deputy county counsel Alegría De La Cruz. De La Cruz has been charged to lead a fundraising effort to raise $2 million for legal services.

The California state budget, passed June 15, allots $45 million for legal services and attorney training. If passed, SB 6 will also fund training for immigration attorneys through qualified nonprofit organizations.

But none of the local immigrant-outreach organizations, including La Luz, would qualify for that funding.

That strains an imbalance that already exists between communities with large rural populations, like Sonoma County, that must compete with larger urban nonprofit groups for funding. De La Cruz has requested that the bill be amended to address the imbalance.

Meanwhile in Washington, a bill quietly passed the House Judiciary Committee on May 24 that would transform illegal immigration from a civil violation to a crime. Known as the DavisOliver Act, in honor of two policemen killed by a non-citizen in 2014, HR 2431 would “turn millions of Americans into criminals overnight,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat.

If passed, the Davis-Oliver act would fund 12,500 new ICE agents and provide them with body armor and M-4 rifles. It would also allow local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law even where local or state law says they can’t. At the same time, the White House’s 2018 budget provides an extra $300 million for ICE and Customs and Border Protection to hire more agents, $1.5 billion for more detention beds and $2.6 billion for border security.

LAND OF PLENTY The Gravenstein apple is the pride of Sonoma County, but if the fruit is going to survive, growers need to be paid more for their crop, says farmer Stan Devoto.

Sweet on Cider Fans of the Gravenstein apple gather to talk shop BY STEPHANIE HILLER

I

t’s barely summer and already Gravenstein apples hang heavy from trees in West County orchards. The apples are early to ripen, and local fans of the fruit can’t wait, as evidenced by last week’s panel discussion of apple and cider experts.

Local historian Gaye LeBaron and a who’s who of Sonoma

County’s apple and cider industries gathered at Occidental’s Union Hotel ballroom June 20 to talk about the future of local cider for a dinner and discussion called “Origin Stories and New Horizons.” Apple farmers and cider makers talked about growing a new industry while striving to conform to high principles of flavor and farming such as those espoused by Slow Food, an organization dedicated to restoring the culture of “good,

clean and fair” eating in a heavily industrialized world. Slow Food sponsored the event.

The mood was optimistic, as the number of cideries has doubled in the past three years, but apple grower Stan Devoto said growers need to be paid more for their apples to survive.

Ellen Cavalli, co-owner of Tilted Shed Ciderworks in Sebastopol, which harvests 65 varieties of locally grown organic apples, said she’d be happy to pay more—if the

public is willing to pay $30 or $40 for a bottle for cider.

Hard cider is of British origin, first noted by the Romans who arrived in Kent in 55 B.C. and considered it safer to drink than water. Many apple varieties, often high in tannin and inedible, may be used in the creation of craft ciders. The Gravenstein provides a great base with its distinct sweet-tart flavor.

Saving the Gravenstein became the mission of Paula Shatkin when she and her husband retired to the West County from Los Angeles, and were shocked to see all the “murdered apple orchards everywhere.” So she did something about it.

The first step was to get the apple approved under Slow Food’s international Presidia program, designed to safeguard foods embedded in rural cultures.

Shatkin took photographs to document the places the word “Gravenstein” appeared on labels and street signs, demonstrating its place in Sebastopol culture.

That was 2003. The apple project, called the Apple Core, is one of only five Presidia in the United States.

Restoring biodiversity is the mission that drives Shatkin’s passion and hard work promoting the apple.

If all this seems a little too niche in a world beset by towering struggles, it may be helpful to remember—as apple grower Ted Richardson, who grows 60 varieties on his two-acre ranch in Occidenta, reminded us at the dinner—that apples are one of the most healthful foods around.But they are also number one on the Environmental Working Group’s “dirty dozen” fruits containing the most pesticides. “So there is good reason for families to search out organic apples.”

Still, says Apple Core member Michael Stevenson, “one of the best ways to promote apples is to support cider growth.”

It all works to help restore local agriculture. As LeBaron pointed out in her introductory remarks, “Sonoma County used to be one of the top 10 agricultural counties in the nation.”

Why not again?

Gose, Huh? New takes on a briny old beer and other sour thirst-quenchers

BY JAMES KNIGHT

Gose is a ghost of a beer.

Originally a very regional brew made in a small town in Lower Saxony, gose goes back centuries, the somewhat salty water that was available to local brewers setting the style apart from other sours.

And like nearly every hitherto obscure beer style since IPA, it has recently roared back to become a craft-brew sensation.

No, gose is almost certainly not the next IPA, but it’s worth

hen I ask a few fellow Bohemians assembled for a tasting of sour beers if they’ve heard of gose (pronounced “goze-uh”), the only response I get is: do I mean Gozer, the villain of 1984’s Ghostbusters?

Brew

considering as a low-alcohol alternative (the goses listed here range from 4.2 to 4.5 percent) for those who prefer tart to bitter on a summer afternoon.

Anderson Valley Brewing Company: The Kimmie, the Yink & the Holy Gose When a customer suggested that the brewery try making a gose, they had to look it up, says brewmaster Fal Allen.

Settling on a kettle-soured style using lactobacillus, AVBC trialed this straight-up gose-style beer in 2012 and has since gone gose-crazy, releasing this and several spiced and fruited versions in bottle and six-pack cans. Holy Gose is among our favorites: clean, tart like lemon and tangy like sour cream, it reminds some of a shandy—a lager mixed with lemonade.

AVBC: G&T Gose Meant to evoke a gin and tonic cocktail, this is brewed with juniper, cucumber, cinchona bark, lemon grass, coriander and lime. My only complaint is that these ingredients don’t jump out of the glass more— they’re integrated into the salty, tangy lime-soaked palate.

AVBC: Briney Melon Gose More tasters noted “sour apple” than found the watermelon in this earthy brew, which tastes like rindy, salted watermelon, with grainy, tangy notes like plain granola in plain yogurt.

AVBC: Blood Orange Gose This earthy, only slightly orangetinted and orange-scented brew is clean and tangy like kefir, but the blood orange sweetens the finish just so.

Fogbelt Brewing: Zephyr Apricot Gose Possibly our secondfavorite gose of the tasting, the Zephyr dials down salty and sour just a bit, while upping the fruit aroma—you can almost feel the velvety skin of ripe apricots on the nose. Creamy carbonation seals the deal. In July, look for Fogbelt’s passion-orange-guava version.

Lagunitas Brewing Company: Dark Swan Sour Ale This is no gose, but if it’s more hops and a bitter finish you’d like from a sour ale, this lurid magenta but not particularly sour ale is a fun diversion from pale ale. Sangria, someone says—and wouldn’t you know it, this is brewed with Petite Sirah juice! 8.5 percent ABV.

Fictional Facts In an age of fake news and ‘alternative’ truth, novels like Nathan Hill’s ‘The Nix’ are striking a chord

BY STEVE KETTMANN

I

t’s been building a while, the sense that the novel, far from being exiled indefinitely from the hurly-burly of relevance, was tacking back into the mix, recovered from the fashion consciousness of campus influence and other existential threats, ready to stand and be counted.

Now, as we peer through the lurid gloom of life in the Trump era, it’s clear that journalists and nonfiction writers, chained to the ascendancy of “facts” in an era when fewer and fewer of us really believe in them anymore, cannot compete with the power of a go-for-

broke novelist with a light touch, an ear for comedy and human foible, and the sheer stamina and grit to cobble together a great yarn over years of effort.

This is the era of writers like Nathan Hill, whose hit novel The Nix skewers millennial entitlement, boomer self-importance and everything in between, but above all retrieves the recent past and in so doing reanimates the present and the future. In other words, the book unlocks a gate through which many others can and should surge forth.

If nothing else, the giddy praise Hill has earned—“In my opinion he is the best new writer of fiction in America,” John Irving proclaimed— ought to inspire young writers to ponder his example, and it’s a good one to consider. The best part

about Hill is his insistence that his dazzling literary success owes mostly to his having decided on a philosophy of essentially saying “Fuck it!” He opted out of the alltoo-common syndrome of worrying too much about what anyone else thinks of your writing. Instead, he went for it and spent 10 years writing a novel mostly for himself, the way one dives into gardening.

The acclaimed novel was one of last year’s most talked-about books, with many critics noting its “Trump-like” Republican presidential candidate Gov. Packer—a character Hill created years before Trump ran for office.

And its splashy debut came at a time when fiction was showing signs of a new resurgence; in its overview of 2016 book trends,

the Los Angeles Times declared, “Long-form nonfiction is in peril.”

The sudden rise of George Orwell’s dystopian classic 1984 to bestseller lists was widely noted, but the Atlantic and the BBC looked deeper into the trend to discover that the Trump era seemed to be elevating sales of other fiction, as well.

Before that, Hill had been living in Queens, toiling away on short stories to land the usual prestige publication credits, when he decided to move to Florida and start fresh. Writers need other writers, but squeeze too many of them into your consciousness and it’s like packing an elevator with too many overdressed men who have hit the man-perfume way too hard.

Getting away clearly did wonders for Hill’s talent.

we know about him are that even into adulthood he lives in constant mortified terror of slipping into a crying jag, which he breaks down into categories like storms; that he teaches, but kind of hates it; and that his mother abandoned him when he was young. Oh, and he’s a writer, or sort of a writer.

Samuel feels like the buddy you have at college without ever knowing why, since you don’t really like each other all that much, but his life opens up to us in a way that makes it impossible not to care.

We’re particularly pulled in by his account of twins he knew in his youth: violin-playing Bethany, who will define beauty for Samuel his whole life, and her brother Bishop, pulled prematurely into adulthood in a way that touches Samuel as well. As I wrote in my review of The Nix for the San Francisco Chronicle last year: “This is a novel about an understanding taking years to unfold.”

“She’d decided that about eighty percent of what you believe about yourself when you’re 20 turns out to be wrong,” a character observes.

“The problem is you don’t know what your small true part is until much later.”

Much as Northern California writer Emma Cline used her novel The Girls to breathe new life into our understanding of one aspect of the 1960s—the charismatic allure of a Charles Manson–type figure—Hill uses this story about a son in search of a vanished mother to papier-mâché together a shockingly vivid reimagining of the famous clubbing of protesters by overzealous Chicago police that will always be associated with the 1968 Democratic Convention.

Hill slows down time in a way that mesmerizes. He takes a reader used to thinking about shorter attention spans and quietly changes the subject. For the right book, page count doesn’t matter; quality does.

Hill has a secret, and it’s one worth emulating. He likes his characters. He loves his characters.

They are all flawed, they all have their sorrows, but even when they’re being hilariously over-thetop awful, he’s smiling to share with us their over-the-top awfulness.

There are important lessons here.

When one of the Trump sons,

15

HIGH PRAISE John Irving called Nathan Hill the best new fiction

writer in America.

looking like a bad-hair outcast from a remake of the cheeseball TV show Dynasty, went on Fox News in early June to share the opinion that, to him, Democrats are “not even people,” the natural first reaction was to snicker at the sheltered cluelessness of this son of a son of privilege, this epic lack of understanding of anything other than his deranged father’s rants.

But actually, the quote was a rare case of a Trump speaking for many people, not just the tiny sliver of the country that supports this reckless presidency. Eric Trump’s words should make us all think. Too many people of too many viewpoints have been so riled, so addled with pent-up frustration and rage, they too have come to think of others as “not even people,” which is a trend probably as toxic to real democracy as the Supreme Court’s Citizen United decision equating political contributions to free speech.

It does no good to write off whole swaths of the country as rubes, simple and easy to sway, even if the Trump wave did pull along all sorts of people who ought to have known better. It does no good to assume we understand everything about them. Far better to take the crisis afflicting the country and use it as a prod to try anew to understand people from all regions of the country, from all viewpoints,

up to and including hate-mongers.

The question is: How do we do this? We could use a Studs Terkel, interviewing everyone and panning for gold. But journalism can only make so much headway in this direction. Fiction holds far more potential.

This, I think, is the ultimate thrill of reading Nathan Hill: having the sense of getting to know people we’d thought walled off from us. His baton-swinging cop, for example, is a tour de force, human and sad, so much so that I for one almost felt like I was identifying with him even as he slammed protesters in the head with that baton—well, at least for a moment or two. The point is simply to turn back from the glibness of hate or bias to what we are born knowing, that what unites us is stronger and vaster than that which divides us.

Reading Hill, I’m thinking that some young novelist out there with flash and nerve is going to find a way to build a fictional tunnel from the present to 1969 California, when an actor in the Governor’s Mansion in Sacramento ordered the National Guard into Berkeley to crack down on protesters who wanted to turn a scruffy little vacant lot owned by the state into a People’s Park. James Rector of San Jose, an innocent bystander, was killed in the melee, and the silent majority ) 16

“The stuff I was doing in New York really wasn’t that good,” Hill said in a recent phone conversation, just after he’d returned from a trip to France to promote the roughly 719th foreign edition of his novel.

“I was writing for all the wrong reasons. I’d moved to New York with a bunch of people from my MFA program [at UMass Amherst].

I was very careerist, thinking about editors and Paris Review parties and who was getting published where—thinking about everything but the actual writing. I was trying to be popular in New York. I wasn’t writing any particular truth.”

When Hill’s apartment was broken into, his computer was stolen—and along with it, years of writing vanished into thin air, gone as surely as the carbons of early short stories that Ernest Hemingway’s first wife famously lost. With Hill, as with Hemingway and most any other writer, this was surely a good thing. Not until Hill moved to Florida to be near the bassoonist who would become his wife did his work on the novel that became The Nix really open up in a new direction.

“Even more than getting all the stuff stolen, it was that early failure, kind of a global failure—going to New York City but not becoming the writer I thought I was going to become, or really finding any success at all—that led me in a different direction,” he says. “I started to write The Nix for really different reasons. When that kicked in, the writing just opened up.

“I stopped sending stuff out to agents and editors and magazines,” he says. “I stopped giving my work to writing friends who I went to school with.”

Years of feedback from writing classes and groups had been helpful, but for his writing to take off he had to hit the mute button on all that. “There comes a point where you have to do something that’s idiosyncratic, that’s just you,” he says. “You have to tune out all those voices, no matter how well-meaning and helpful they might be.”

Not everyone would feel comfortable building a 625-page novel around a main character, Samuel Andresen-Anderson, who is just sort of there. He’s no hero, no anti-hero, and the main things

rallied behind Reagan and his show of force. He rode the tough-guyon-a-horse image all the way to the White House. But like Chicago 68, it’s all become a cartoon. Only a great novelist can really reclaim that kind of territory for us, as Hill has done in The Nix. The book was published in hardcover before last November’s election (it’s newly out in paperback), which seems oddly fitting. Post–Trump election, like post 9-11, the fiction writer feels a tidal wave of pressure to try to do something with the flotsam and jetsam of what used to be a culture.

It’s overwhelming, which is why if you follow writers’ social media feeds you read much in November and afterward about people who couldn’t get out of bed for days or weeks on end. It was paralyzing.

Hill was in Southern California this spring to receive a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and in accepting the honor, joked that he was glad to get the award—while California “is still part of the country,” showing he was aware of the fledgling movement to get a secession measure on the California ballot.

“If that gets on the ballot, who knows what happens?” Hill told me on the phone.

The joke was also a kind of homage to fellow novelist Michelle Richmond. Back in 2009, when she was working on the project that would become the novel Golden State, Richmond was going for outlandish but not too outlandish when she sat down to write a scene about Californians going to the polls to vote on seceding from the United States.

Talking to Hill on the phone, I read aloud from what Richmond had told me about the novel: “‘In the book, it’s moved from fringe to reality because a new president wants to spend $12 billion of taxpayer money on a border wall with Mexico.’”

“My God!” Hill cut in goodnaturedly, loving it. “‘He wants a war with Iran, he wants to roll back environmental protections and he’s rolling back reproductive and gay rights,’” I

continued, quoting Richmond. “‘When I was writing the book, I thought eventually there will be some sort of vote, but that’s far in the future.’”

“That’s amazing,” Hill said. “The Trump-like character in my book, Gov. Packer, was written similarly a long time ago, eight years ago. I took this kind of baseline Tea Party Republican candidate who seemed to be getting popular, and pushed him to absurdity to see what happens.”

It takes years, generally, to create the world-within-a-world of a novel that comes alive enough for characters to talk on their own, leading the writer more than the other way around. As Hill put it to me: “That takes a long time to get to, to feel that the character is speaking to you, not that you’re turning the wrench.”

There is something transcendently important about that commitment of time and energy, that investment of caring and doing, and it’s potentially an important antidote to the popoff-in-four-seconds-flat culture in which we find ourselves, led of course by the Popper-Off-inChief. More even than the beauty, power and importance of his great novel, I’d point a new reader to the following words as an introduction to Hill and what he stands for: “I really want to take the time with my own political feeling and political thinking,” he told me on the phone. “I don’t want to make snap judgments. For example, as I write my next book, it’s really tempting to try to deal with the age of Trump, but I don’t think that would make a very good book.

It’s too new. I don’t have enough distance from it yet. And frankly, I’m not incredibly confident about my own opinions.

“And I’m shocked at how many are extraordinarily confident in their opinions and extraordinarily sure they are right. I’d rather take my time. I don’t even take to Twitter very often, as you might have seen.

I don’t want to become a kind of opinion vending machine. I reserve the right to keep my opinions to myself and think about it for a very, very long time. I’m well aware that at any time I could be wrong.”

THE MACHINIST Using tools of his own design, Andy Graham can make as many as 50 instruments a week.

Slap Happy Santa Rosa’s Andy Graham makes music and makes the instruments he plays BY CHARLIE SWANSON

ndy Graham is funneling small plastic particles into a homemade injection mold when I greet him at his Santa Rosa shop.

The particles are heated and put under thousands of pounds of pressure to form the end pieces of his original percussive instrument, the SlapStick.

The injection mold is one of several custom-made machines

that Graham developed in his shop to craft his patented hybrid instrument. The SlapStick is made of a high-tension metal band strapped on an aluminum body and amplified by an electric pickup. By hammering on the strap with fingers or a drum stick, the musician can produce sounds like a slapped bass guitar, combining melodic and percussive elements.

“The only way to make money manufacturing by yourself is

to make your own machinery,” Graham says. “I put all the work into this,” he adds, showing off his metal cutting and drilling tools.

By designing his own machines, Graham is able to produce the sixfoot-tall SlapStick and the popular two-foot-long SlapStick N-100, also known as the Noodle, with precision accuracy in a timely fashion. Whereas traditional luthiers can spend several weeks on one instrument, Graham by can produce 50 instruments a week.

Growing up, Graham played drums in various bands and worked as a toolmaker. He says it came together when he starting building his own custom instruments.

One of Graham’s first musical inventions was a mounting rack for didgeridoo that he could use while also playing drums. From there, his creations became more elaborate, such as the electric stringed didgeridoo he built from a staircase hand railing.

The SlapStick was conceived 15 years ago, when Graham happened to smack a metal cable that was tightened around a shipping container. The resonating hum stuck with him, and the next day he brought an electric guitar pickup to the container to see how he could capture that sound.

“It’s just one of those funny things,” he says. “That’s how a lot of my ideas come to me; I’ll just see something in a scrap yard or a crate, and I visualize something and start hacking away at it.”

As owner and machinist of Slaperoo Percussion, Graham is a fixture at events like Maker Faire and the annual National Association of Music Merchants trade shows. Stevie Wonder has played Graham’s inventions, as does bassist Doug Wimbish (Living Colour) and Hammond B3 legend Dr. Lonnie Smith, who had Graham make his SlapStick into a usable walking cane.

As a solo performer, Graham incorporates his inventions into a neo-world music exploration that has made him a staple at events like the North Bay Cabaret in Santa Rosa.

“This is wanted I’ve always wanted to do, be an inventor and play music,” Graham says.

A friend introduced him to guitarist Alec Leach, and “the next thing you know,” says Kingsborough, “we played our first open mic, and it was just easy, it just worked.”

That easy musical camaraderie steadily morphed into a powerpacked blues-rock outfit— Kingsborough—that’s become a fixture at local clubs, festivals and backyard bonfires. In late July, Kingsborough are releasing their second album, 1544, and they’re giving fans a first listen with an album-release concert on July 8 at HopMonk Tavern in Sebastopol, where that first open mic took place.

players like B. B. King, Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, Kingsborough and Leach established the group as a straightforward rock and roll band with roots in the blues, anchored by fuzzy guitars and hook-heavy grooves. Backed by a thumping rhythm section made up of bassist Chris Mangione and drummer John Whitney, the band’s classic riffs and searing solos are matched by an infectious live energy that’s made them a popular party band.

“We try to project the truest form of rock and roll that we know,” says Leach.

“We feel that we have this mission to convince people that having a damn good time is what this is all about,” adds Kingsborough. “That’s how we view rock and roll, and that’s what we want to instill on the people that come to our shows.”

The new album’s title, 1544, is a reference to the house number of the ranch property where the four members have lived the past two years. The band turned a barn on the compound into their practice space and collaboratively composed the entirety of 1544 since coming together. Yet Kingsborough says the album really came to life once they stepped into the Laughing Tiger Studio in San Rafael to record last year.

The group took advantage of the studio’s isolated and expansive tracking room to give the album a massive atmospheric presence.

Kingsborough notes that the band was given time to explore sonic textures in a way they hadn’t done before, leading to layered guitar tones and dynamic distortion and reverb effects that help the album stay fresh and compelling throughout. “The album is a way to let loose,” Kingsborough says.

“That’s what music is to us.”

ARIES (March 21–April 19) This is a perfect moment to create a new tradition, Aries. You intuitively know how to turn one of your recent breakthroughs into a good habit that will provide continuity and stability for a long time to come. You can make a permanent upgrade in your life by capitalizing on an accidental discovery you made during a spontaneous episode. It’s time, in other words, to convert the temporary assistance you received into a long-term asset; to use a stroke of luck to foster a lasting pleasure.

Physicist Freeman Dyson told Wired magazine how crucial it is to learn from failures. As an example, he described the invention of the bicycle. “There were thousands of weird models built and tried before they found the one that really worked,” he said. “You could never design a bicycle theoretically. Even now, it’s difficult to understand why a bicycle works. But just by trial and error, we found out how to do it, and the error was essential.” I hope you will keep that in mind, Taurus. It’s the Success-ThroughFailure Phase of your astrological cycle.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20)

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should lease a chauffeured stretch limousine with nine TVs and a hot tub inside. You’d also be smart to accessorize your smooth ride with a $5,000 bottle of Château Le Pin Pomerol Red Bordeaux wine and servings of the Golden Opulence Sundae, which features a topping of 24-karat edible gold and sprinkles of Amedei Porcelana, the most expensive chocolate in the world. If none of that is possible, do the next best thing, which is to mastermind a long-term plan to bring more money into your life.

From an astrological perspective, wealth-building activities will be favored in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) When Leos rise above their habit selves and seize the authority to be rigorously authentic, I refer to them as Sun Queens or Sun Kings. When you Cancerians do the same— triumph over your conditioning and become masters of your own destiny—I call you Moon Queens or Moon Kings. In the coming weeks, I suspect that many of you will make big strides towards earning this title. Why? Because you’re on the verge of claiming more of the “soft power,” the potent sensitivity, that enables you to feel at home no matter what you’re doing or where you are on this planet.

LEO (July 23–August 22) You may not realize it, but you now have a remarkable power to perform magic tricks. I’m not talking about Houdini-style hocus-pocus.

I’m referring to practical wizardry that will enable you to make relatively efficient transformations in your daily life. Here are some of the possibilities: wiggling out of a tight spot without offending anyone; conjuring up a new opportunity for yourself out of thin air; doing well on a test even though you don’t feel prepared for it; converting a seemingly tough twist of fate into a fertile date with destiny. How else would you like to use your magic?

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Feminist pioneer and author Gloria Steinem said, “Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.” Is there such an activity for you, Virgo? If not, now is a favorable time to identify what it is. And if there is indeed such a passionate pursuit, you should do it as much as possible in the coming weeks.

You’re primed for a breakthrough in your relationship with this life-giving joy. To evolve to the next phase of its power to inspire you, it needs as much of your love and intelligence as you can spare.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) One of the 21st century’s most entertaining archaeological events was the discovery of King Richard III’s bones.

The English monarch died in 1485, but his burial site had long been a mystery. It wasn’t an archaeologist who tracked down his remains, but a screenwriter named Philippa Langley. She did extensive historical research, narrowing down the possibilities to a car park in Leicester. As she wandered around there, she got a psychic impression at one point that she was walking directly over Richard’s grave. Her feeling later turned out to be right. I suspect your near future will have

resemblances to her adventure. You’ll have success in a mode that’s not your official area of expertise. Sharp analytical thinking will lead you to the brink, and a less rational twist of intelligence will take you the rest of the way.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) The tides

of destiny are no longer just whispering their message for you. They are shouting. And what they are shouting is that your brave quest must begin soon. There can be no further excuses for postponement. What’s that you say? You don’t have the luxury of embarking on a brave quest? You’re too bogged down in the thousand and one details of managing the day-to-day hubbub?

Well, in case you need reminding, the tides of destiny are not in the habit of making things convenient. And if you don’t cooperate willingly, they will ultimately compel you to do so. But now here’s the really good news, Scorpio: The tides of destiny will make available at least one burst of assistance that you can’t imagine right now.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) In my dream, I used the non-itchy wool of the queen’s special Merino sheep to weave an enchanted blanket for you. I wanted this blanket to be a good luck charm you could use in your crusade to achieve deeper levels of romantic intimacy. In its tapestry I spun scenes depicting the most love-filled events from your past. It was beautiful and perfect. But after I finished it, I had second thoughts about giving it to you. Wasn’t it a mistake to make it so flawless? Shouldn’t it also embody the messier aspects of togetherness? To turn it into a better symbol and therefore a more dynamic talisman, I spilled wine on one corner of it and unraveled some threads in another corner. Now here’s my interpretation of my dream: You’re ready to regard messiness as an essential ingredient in your quest for deeper intimacy.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Your word of power is “supplication”—the act of asking earnestly and humbly for what you want. When practiced correctly, “supplication” is indeed a sign of potency, not of weakness. It means you are totally united with your desire, feel no guilt or shyness about it and intend to express it with liberated abandon.

Supplication makes you supple, poised to be flexible as you do what’s necessary to get the blessing you yearn for. Being a supplicant also makes you smarter, because it helps you realize that you can’t get what you want on the strength of your willful ego alone. You need grace, luck and help from sources beyond your control.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) In the coming weeks, your relationships with painkillers will be extra sweet and intense. Please note that I’m not talking about ibuprofen or acetaminophen or aspirin. My reference to painkillers is metaphorical.

What I’m predicting is that you will have a knack for finding experiences that reduce your suffering. You’ll have a sixth sense about where to go to get the most meaningful kinds of healing and relief. Your intuition will guide you to initiate acts of atonement and forgiveness, which will in turn ameliorate your wounds.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Don’t wait around passively as you fantasize about becoming the “Chosen One” of some person or group or institution.

Be your own Chosen One. And don’t wander around aimlessly, biding your time in the hope of eventually being awarded some prize or boon by a prestigious source. Give yourself a prize or boon. Here’s one further piece of advice, Pisces: Don’t postpone your practical and proactive intentions until the mythical “perfect moment” arrives. Create your own perfect moment.

I like my ribs at grilled medium or indirect heat.

I prefer Oliver’s Rub Potion #9rubbed a little heavy. The more rub, the spicier it gets.

Cook until the meat has shrunk off the bone ¼ to 1/2 inch, with the bone tips beginning to turn black. Sauce, then remove from grill until cool enough to eat.
