SMART and Dumb Some things you have to see to believe.

For starters, that includes the so-called SMART train at a cost of over half of a billion dollars and projected to run at a deficit. That’s really a “smart” use of tax dollars. Now consider the “dumb” $10 million park in downtown Santa Rosa. “Dumb” park meet “SMART” train.

Uncomfortable benches with no backs.

No trees (tore them down). No play area for kids. No restrooms. The downtown

denizens won’t get caught dead in this park. Was that the plan? On the other hand you can hear the train whistle, and that must count for something.

writer 100 percent. It’s another empty, soulless, unimaginative, cement-filled taxpayer boondoggle disguised and peddled as something other than that.

How anyone could laud something as abhorrent as the “new town square” is beyond the pale.

Book Fare One hundred and forty-nine dollars for a book (“Pot Rules,” June 21)? Thanks for not helping the people that need it! I can’t help it. I think that’s seriously shameful.

Resist

I am one of those tribal members (Coos) that opposes this project (“Pipelines and Battlelines,” June 14). The pipeline would go through forests and under the Umpqua, Rogue, Coquille and Coos rivers.

It would ultimately be bad for fish and wildlife and impact archaeological sites.

Via Bohemian.com

We all need to wake up and see this project as a real threat. So much environmental, cultural and property damage could be unleashed in the five river crossings if the line ever leaks or breaks! So scary the way this is getting pushed ahead after being rejected twice.

Do whatever you can to educate others and fight this thing.

What Would Trump Do? Do the opposite—you’ll feel better

But when the loathsome man-child was elected, I doubled down on my news consumption with equal parts horror and incredulity. How can this be happening?

1 Over the next few weeks, I noticed a change in myself. I knew Trump’s rogues gallery of cabinet picks inside and out and read BOHEMIAN 4.3438 X 4.8438 PUB DATES JULY5, AUG 2, AUG 9 the news of each executive order with pained interest. But my binge consumption of Trump news was making me unhappy. So I unplugged from Trump news. Trump was president. Every one of his utterances or actions was horrible. What else did I need to know? I focused on my kids again. I admired spring flowers.

But then some new outrage pulled me back, and there I was again, hitting refresh on the DailyKos or ProPublica sites. Surely, such an incompetent and ignorant creature would fall on his own gilded sword and rid our nation of this waking nightmare. But it was not to be, at least not yet. And the cycle continued. Binge on news. Feel angry and depressed.

Withdrawal from news. Reconnect with the beauty of the world only to be pulled back into Trumps’ festering stench of lies and arrogance.

As I look past Independence Day, I’ve come up with a new course of action. I’ll keep abreast of the latest Trump news, but refrain from plunging down the rabbit hole of Trump’s moral turpitude. Instead, I’ll do something that would irritate the popular vote loser. I’ll reach out to immigrants or Muslims and those more frightened than me by what Trump might do to them. I’ll step out of my comfort zone to defend our climate, our oceans, our air, our food supply. And I’ll strive to be honest, kind and humble. Trump would hate that.

RED, WHITE, BLUE AND GREEN Fears of Big Cannabis have been allayed somewhat by a new state law.

Appellation Trail Legislation blazes new trails for state’s cannabis industry BY TOM GOGOLA

W

hen it comes to the roll-out of a unified cannabis policy in California, a sativa singularity if you will, the devil is definitely in the details—not to mention the tongue-twisting parade of cannabis-bill acronyms that are hard to keep up with.

Now that the state has merged its medical and adult-use recreational regimes into one law, what’s next?

Is everyone happy yet?

In late June, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a budget bill rider authored by North Coast State Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, that aimed to fully square up 2016’s Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (MMSRA) with the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA)—while

protecting North Coast growers from a rapacious Big Cannabis onslaught.

Enter MAUCRSA, the Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, roughly pronounced “maocurser.” What happens now that the state has acted speedily and decisively to bring its pot laws under one roof? The medical community, not to mention this newspaper, had declared that

the state was “not ready” for legalization last year—but ready or not, the state now has one law and a whole bunch of details to sort out.

For one thing, a 500-page draft project environmental impact review (PEIR), issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in June, may be amended or revised to reflect changes in the new law that will impact the department, which has broad licensing and regulatory powers in the state’s cannabis economy.

As the cannabis legislation was getting hashed out in Sacramento this spring, with a push from McGuire’s rider bill, the CDFA issued its epic PEIR, which, as Rebecca Forée at the CDFA says, was written with the changing law in mind, even if it doesn’t explicitly address all the changes that emerged in the final product—including the creation of an “appellation” regime overseen by the CDFA. “We were aware of the trailer bill as we were preparing the draft PEIR,” says Forée, communications manager at CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing, a branch of the CDFA charged with overseeing the licensing cannabis cultivators.

“However, the exact text of the law was in flux at that time.

Therefore, we crafted the draft PEIR to accommodate a range of possible outcomes—from the existing bill [prior to passage of the trailer bill] to the passage of some form of the trailer bill.”

Forée says a final PEIR will be issued by year’s end and will incorporate new aspects of the law contained in the McGuire rider. She says she doesn’t anticipate that the PEIR will be delayed or that the agency would need to reissue it. The draft PEIR was prepared by the Oaklandbased Horizon Water and Environment.

“We are in the process of carefully reviewing the trailer bill language to determine what portions of the draft PEIR may need to be revisited or amended in the final PEIR,” says Forée.

The draft PEIR is now )8 in a state-mandated 45-

Doctor’s Confession to Petaluma

Twenty-nine years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story.

I was studying pre-Med in college, in hopes of becoming a medical doctor. Things were looking up, and life was good, until things took a turn for the worse.

I began to have terrible back and stomach problems. For a young guy, I felt pretty rotten. My back hurt so badly that I had a hard time even concentrating in class. I was miserable. The medical doctors tried different drugs, but they only made me feel like I was in a “cloud.” I was just not getting better.

A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I soon was off all medication. It worked so well that I decided, then and there, to become a chiropractor myself.

Now for my kids, Hayden and Henry.

They have been under chiropractic care their entire lives. And, unlike most other kids in their class, they never get the “common” childhood illnesses like ear infections, asthma and allergies. In fact, they have never taken a drug in their lives. And they are now 19 and 21!

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their back problems and stomach problems. They come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.

If drugs make people well, then those who take the most should be the healthiest, but that simply isn’t the case. With chiropractic we don’t add anything to the body or take

Dr. Taajes with his sons anything from it. We find interference in the nervous system and remove it thus enhancing the healing capacities of the body. We get tremendous results…it really is as simple as that.

Here’s what some of my patients had to say:

“I have had a problem with migraines as well as low back pain. Even after seeing doctors and other health professionals, the pains remained. After coming to Dr. Joel, they have helped tremendously. They even take away my migraines. They’re great!”

(Judy E.) “I came in pending laser surgery for two herniated discs. Over a few months here the need for surgery subsided, and the pain has subsided to a mild discomfort with occasional morning stiffness. Over all, I feel better visit after visit. It’s a gradual process.” (Jaime O.) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit.

Find out for yourself and benefit from an AMAZING OFFER. Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. You are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you may as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you bring in this

article between July 5, 2017 through August 8, 2017, you will receive my entire new patient exam for $27. That’s with x-rays, exam, report of findings…the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost you $ 350 elsewhere. Great care at a great fee…

Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…

I’m a graduate of Northwestern College of Chiropractic who regularly goes to monthly educational chiropractic seminars. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to neighbors that you may know. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care.

My staff and my associate Dr. Rogers and I are ready to see if we can help you.

Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee. Our office is called REDWOOD CHIROPRACTIC. Our office is located at 937 Lakeville Street, Petaluma, phone number is 707-763-8910. We would love to help you. Call Alex, Phoebe, Christine or Brenda today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you.

day comment period through the end of July.

One key provision in McGuire’s rider—which helped it gain the support of the California Growers Association, a statewide lobby— is the inclusion of a measure to create cannabis “appellations” to help protect growers in cannabis country.

In a statement about his rider released on June 12, McGuire highlights that 60 percent of all the cannabis grown in the country comes from four California counties: Sonoma, Marin, Mendocino and Humboldt.

With that fact in mind, McGuire—and fellow North Coast lawmaker Jim Wood— was adamant that North Coast growers needed to be protected in whatever reconciliation bill emerged from the medical-meetsrecreational legislative process.

McGuire’s budget rider bill pushed for enhanced environmental regulations in the cannabis industry—he’s been a big anti-illegal-grow zealot—and for the creation of “an organicstandards program for cannabis.”

A much-needed North Coast “one-stop shop for tax and license collections” so would-be cultivators don’t have to drive five hours to Sacramento to apply for a license is on the way, and the McGuire rider also recognizes agricultural co-ops, “ensuring that small family cultivators can thrive in the new regulatory system.”

The MAUCRSA eases licensing requirements—cultivators can for example have an adult-use and medical license—and offers a new designation for cultivators that would allow for small-scale “boutique” grows, provided the local and county governments approve (local control is very much highlighted in the McGuire rider).

The adult-use law, which California voters approved via Proposition 64 last election day—had placed the appellation process in the purview of the Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation, which operates under the aegis of the state Department

of Consumer Affairs, and gave the industry and regulators until 2018 to create an appellation regime for California cannabis.

The MAUCRSA shifts this responsibility to the CDFA and stretches the timeline to 2020.

But there’s no mention of the CDFA’s new role as appellationdesignator in the draft PEIR. Forée says it will be in the final version.

Sixty percent of all the cannabis grown in the country comes from four California counties.

The agency is also given authority over a new track-andtrace program that will keep the state eye on cannabis products, from seed to store.

The “appellation” issue is of course a big deal in the California wine industry. Indeed, the California State Fair, held July 14–30 this year in Sacramento, has a big wine competition—and the state fair is very serious about the rules when they pertain to where a grape is grown: “In order for a wine to qualify in any region, the label must designate the appellation of the grapes,” under federal regulations that established so-called American Viticultural Areas, and which are protected by booze-and-tobacco agents of the United States Department of the Treasury.

Will a future California State Fair have a cannabis contest with designated “American Cannabis Areas”?

That’s anyone’s guess, but with any federal descheduling of cannabis resting in the hands of

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has demonstrated a certain unyielding contempt for cannabis, it’s up to the state of California to come up with the appellation regime for cannabis, in order to protect the local growers by regulating source-of-bud claims in marketing and licensing. In a statement, McGuire says his rider also allows for the co-location of medical and recreational cannabis under one roof “and clarifies that businesses cannot mislead consumers as to the origin of marijuana products on labeling, advertising, marketing or packaging.”

Forée describes the overarching purpose of the PEIR as a mechanism “to evaluate and disclose the potentially significant impacts of implementing the CDFA’s responsibilities under MAUCRSA, and to identify ways to minimize or avoid those impacts that are found to be significant.”

The CDFA, she adds, will set the parameters and assumptions within which cultivators can operate. But the state regulations leave room for localities to set their own eco-terms for would-be cultivators. “In some cases, due to the broad, statewide level of analysis in the PEIR, additional site-specific CEQA compliance may be required for individual cultivation sites or groups of sites (e.g., those within a particular county or city). We expect that such a sitespecific CEQA evaluation would often be conducted by the local jurisdiction where the cultivation site(s) is located.” The CDFA’s role in those instances would be to review the site-specific CEQA as part of the application process.

The new law keeps intact a provision in the AUMA that bans large cultivators from the state until 2023. But in the meantime, licensing restrictions in the MCSRA were also written so that licensees can also hold medical and adult-use licenses. And small-time cannabis growers got a big victory in the new law, which removes a requirement that growers use an outside distributor to get their crop to market. The high times are just beginning.

BULLISH ON NAPA Downtown’s First Street is a lively spot for street art.

In Verse and Deed

T

here’s a myth about writers, created over the years, that depicts them as lonely souls scribbling away outside of society. They’re riddled with demons and too often misunderstood by the very masses they simultaneously loathe yet hope to attract.

They’re a complex and surly lot.

There may be some truth to the stereotype, but not for Beclee

Wilson, who has served as Napa Valley poet laureate for the past two years.

“My background is in theater,” she says. “I don’t create in isolation, mining my emotions.”

Instead, Beclee learned to appreciate connecting with an audience as a young thespian in one of the first child theater companies in the country. She was born a performer.

Beclee credits her parents and upbringing for ensuring that she was “surrounded by language and words.” That appreciation carried through her advanced

education, which included Northwestern University’s School of Speech, a master’s degree from the University of Michigan and a doctorate from the University of Minnesota.

It was during her college years that she met future husband John Wilson, who would eventually become executive vice president and chief economist for the Bank of America, as well as a teacher at UC Berkeley. They moved to St. Helena in 2000.

Napa Valley has proven to be a source of inspiration for Wilson— and provided her a sense of

RHYME AND REASON Beclee Wilson says her favorite poems are in the thank-you letters she gets from the students she visits.

community, as well. She cherishes the town’s history and even takes it upon herself to polish the brass at the local post office building, a structure that shares her birth year of 1940. Those planter boxes in front? That was her handiwork, too. A group of appreciative locals even created a joint birthday celebration for the two.

“The valley has been a wonderful place,” Wilson says.

More than the town, though, Wilson finds inspiration and motivation through its children. A former grade-school teacher, she works with nearly every regional school to enhance an appreciation of poetry. Reaching kids has been her primary mission as Napa Valley’s poet laureate, and she’s worked with hundreds of them over the years.

As her stint comes to an end—a new laureate will be chosen in July—Wilson continues her campaign, benefiting from a grant that will enable school children to have their own poetry on display in a Yountville museum.

“It’s a wonderful outlet for human beings of every age,” Wilson says of poetry and the written word. “There’s no moment in life that cannot be worked into a poem.”

Wilson, in creating her own poetry, says she tries to “look at life and capture a moment in some way, using all of my senses—what am I seeing, smelling, hearing?”

She says she tries to “have an internal conversation” as she engages her surroundings and that “all of life around me has an opportunity” to inspire poetry.

These are exciting times for the poet, who just learned that her published works will be included in five upcoming international book fairs. Having her works translated into other languages isn’t out of the question.

Wilson’s focus remains on keeping poetry vibrant and alive among the young and respecting how vital poetry has been through the ages.

“All artistic ways of expressing life within a life around have been essential for a full life of creating and receiving through all human existence,” she says.

At the restaurant and in our classes, we use ingredients from our farms and gardens to create seasonal dishes and experiences for our guests.

We also recently opened our Tasting Showcase, which features up to six different local wineries and their wines at individual bars throughout our atrium. Each winery showcases its wines to guests through tastings.

It’s a great way to learn about Napa Valley wines and taste from different producers in one spot.

Where do you like to go to eat in Napa when you’re not at the CIA? We of course love to dine at the Restaurant at CIA Copia, but we also love supporting our alumni, including Michael Gyetvan of Azzurro Pizzeria & Enoteca, Todd Humphries of Kitchen Door, Kadriye Gitgel Baspehlivan of Tarla, Jessica Sedlacek of Blue Note Napa, and many others.

How has the arrival of the CIA in Napa been met by locals?

We often get visitors to the facility who were members of the previous Copia or who had visited the facility previously, and they are happy to see the space open again.

What’s your personal favorite thing about CIA Copia—a dish or otherwise?

My favorite thing to come out of the CIA at Copia has definitely been awakening this space that was dormant for so long. We are so excited to launch new programs over the next year, including the Chuck Williams Culinary Arts Museum and the opening of our Hestan Teaching Kitchen, allowing us to host more hands-on cooking and baking classes. We are thrilled to be part of downtown Napa, and we look forward to continue to offer innovative and fun programs for locals and visitors.

Things to Do in Napa Napa City Nights

COPIA TAKE TWO Anne Girvin helps get the word out about the CIA at Copia.

Local Knowledge SPOTLIGHT ON NAPA

Anne Girvin, assistant director of strategic marketing at the Culinary Institute of America

What is it about the city of Napa that makes for an ideal location for this Culinary Institute of America outpost?

Napa is a burgeoning area that keeps growing year after year, with the local population increasing and visitation on the rise. The CIA at Copia is a veritable playground for food and wine lovers with our daily cooking demonstrations, winetasting experiences, lifestyle store and the Restaurant at CIA Copia. We offer experiences that are attractive to both locals and visitors, and with the city of Napa becoming a destination for foodies and wine lovers, this location works well for our mission.

What sorts of dishes or approaches to cooking do you utilize at CIA Copia that are hooked into regional traditions?

All of our experiences are geared toward consumers at the CIA at Copia.

In our demonstrations and hands-on cooking classes, we teach techniques that are taught at the college, but they are formatted in a way that is easy to understand for non-chefs. Everything at the CIA at Copia involves learning, but you may not realize you are learning new skills because the classes are fun and exciting.

Celebrating 10 years of shows this summer, the Napa City Nights concert series offers the region’s hottest acts performing weekly at the Veterans Memorial Park Amphitheater along the Napa Riverfront Promenade.

Originally built as part of a flood control project in 2008, this outdoor venue boasts lawn seating and a large dance floor, and the genre-blending series is perfect for music fans of all ages and interests. This week, July 7, funk tribute act Hour of Tower, blues-rock outfit Ordinary Sons and worldmusic big band New Era Beats Brigade mix it up. Later dates feature Napa Valley bands and songwriters like the Deadlies, Full Chizel, Zak Fennie and others. Fridays through Aug. 18, Veterans Memorial Park, Third and Main streets, Napa.

Taste of Napa

One of the biggest events in Festival Napa Valley’s 10day schedule of extravagant experiences, Taste of Napa showcases the area’s diverse culinary world and wine empire with tastings from dozens of restaurants, wineries and

artisan purveyors. Many of the participating wineries rarely open their doors to the public, making this an exceptional time to expand the palate and discover new flavors.

Three local bands, chosen by the public in an online vote, will accompany the buzzedabout bites and wines, and there’s even a beer garden on hand for Taste of Napa on Saturday, July 15, at Napa Valley Exposition, 575 Third St., Napa. 11am to 2:30pm. $99 main floor; $225 Reserve Salon. festivalnapavalley.org.

Napa Porchfest

The popular annual Porchfest takes advantage of the summer weather and takes to the streets for a one-ofa-kind walking tour of live music this month. Featuring local bands and artists playing their tunes literally on the porches of several historic homes and properties throughout downtown Napa, this year’s Porchfest will be centered around Fuller Park, and the houses surrounding it, for a bulk of the action.

This new hub will be able to host around a dozen food trucks in addition to providing shade and restrooms for the general public. The Porchfest

organizers will also have info and maps to the other locations. The fun is only a porch away on Sunday, July 30, Fuller Park, 560 Jefferson St., Napa. Noon to 6pm. Free. napaporchfest.org.

Napa Town & Country Fair

For 85 years, the Napa Town & Country Fair has brought local exhibits, agricultural competitions and lively entertainment to the city’s fairgrounds for a familyfriendly week. This year, the fair has hired first-class amusement ride company Helm & Sons Amusements to provide the carnival with a new look and new rides that are both fun for young kids and thrilling for adults. In addition to the roller coasters, the fair includes two stages of live music featuring popular tribute acts and headlining performers like Wynonna & the Big Noise and Tony Orlando. Arts and crafts, farm exhibits, 4H demonstrations and a livestock arena put the “country” in the Town & Country Fair, running Aug. 9–13 at Napa Valley Exposition, 575 Third St., Napa.

Gates open at noon everyday. $10–$13; kids five and under free. napavalleyexpo.com.

AL FRESCO It’s just you and 300 friends enjoying a riverside picnic at Brewster’s.

Garden of Eatin’ Petaluma’s new Brewster’s is the ultimate beer and barbecue spot BY STETT HOLBROOK

D

uring one of those sweltering days last month, I found myself hungry for dinner but with no desire to make my house hotter by turning on the oven. So I set out to try Brewster’s Beer Garden, a new downtown Petaluma restaurant opened by San Francisco restaurateur Mike Goebel.

As I rounded the corner and walked in the restaurant’s openair, riverfront entrance, I was greeted by about 300 diners who had exactly the same idea: sit outside, drink some cold beer, eat barbecue and listen to live rock and roll. That’s my idea of a great evening.

The 350-person space is spectacular. While there is some indoor seating, most of the tables are outside on a vast, crushed-granite patio. The old

brick and masonry walls of the adjacent building and the metal and woodwork created for the restaurant give it a look and feel that’s at once vintage, industrial and warm.

There’s also a large fire pit, a bocce ball court and a fencedoff playground for kids. On the other side is a stage that hosts a changing lineup of bands. Dogs are welcome, too. The restaurant fairly screams, “Relax, sit down and have a beer!”

Brewster’s Beer Garden, 229 Water St. N., Petaluma. 707.981.8330.

Dining

Speaking of beers, the rows of bristling taps dispense 30 brands of craft beer from near and far.

The list of cocktails and wine is impressive, too.

Executive chef Chris Beerman (how perfect is that?) has created an enticing menu of classic barbecue (ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken) that’s rooted in Deep South traditions but made with impeccably sourced, sustainably raised local meat from the likes of Marin Sun Farms and Stemple Creek Ranch.

My favorite from the smoker are the St. Louis–style ribs ($24 for a half rack). The beautifully lacquered ribs are smoked over white oak and are meaty and flavorful. The Carolina-style wet-mopped “whole chopped hog” ($14 for half pound) was also good, large chunks of pork shoulder suffused with smoke and a piquant, vinegar-based slather of sauce.

Brisket is my test of a pit master’s art. It’s a tough cut of meat to get right and requires a lot of time in the smoke and heat.

The meat was tender and revealed a deep smoke ring, the line of pink in the meat that is a testament to ample time on the barbecue.

Beyond barbecue, there are plenty of other options. The roasted, dry-rubbed carrots served with buttermilk dressing ($8) are a good starter, as is the roasted cauliflower with onions and capers and creamy curry sauce ($11).

My one gripe was the caesar salad ($11). I’m all for reinventing the classics, but they’ve got to be better than the original.

Brewster’s makes theirs with Little Gem lettuce hearts and toasted bagel slices, instead of croutons, all tossed in a creamy but bland dressing that had me yearning for garlic, lemon and anchovies.

If you want to sit inside (and I don’t know why you would on a hot summer night), you have to wait to be seated, but the beer garden is self seating. Everybody seems to be in a good mood here.

And with the food, drink, music and open-air setting, it’s easy to see why.

Barbecue meets its match with this alternative red

BY JAMES KNIGHT

SHOOT FOR THE MOON PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS

Made for Malbec

T

.

wo samples of Malbec wine recently showed up on our doorstep unbidden. That’s unusual because wineries almost never send the rest of the Cab crew (the traditional Bordeaux quintet of grapes that also includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) out on the media circuit—with the exception of Merlot, and after last week’s barbecue with Merlot column, I think we’re done with Merlot here for the season.

That’s it—’tis the outdoor grilling season. And who brings something called Petit Verdot to a barbecue? Malbec is a minor player in local Cabernet-based blends, used, if at all, in homeopathic doses of 1 or 2 percent. The grape hit the big time in Argentina, however, where they’re big on wood-fired meats—hence the red-blooded, gaucho pampas cred the varietal boasts at the asado, or barbecue.

It helps that Malbec tends to be an intense, red-fruited wine, but less tiresomely tannic than much Cabernet Sauvignon.

For a time it looked like cheap Argentinian Malbec would become the next cheap, Australian Shiraz—maybe it’s a good thing it didn’t. Think of it as the Zinfandel of Argentina. Last time Swirl met Malbec, we liked samples from Chateau St. Jean, Arrowood and Imagery Estate.

Hess Collection 2013 Mount Veeder Malbec ($58) Hess Collection says they’ve got more Malbec than anyone in Napa Valley, where the grape occupies more than 400 acres—about neck and neck with Sonoma County.

This wine, never mind what I said about red fruit, swirls in the glass like a Stygian current, deep purple and black-fruited. The fruit is ripe and furry, a whiff of a grape-laden arbor on a humid, late summer day in the shade, plus fig jam and dense Christmas fruitcake. But the palate is cool, and grainy tannins bring an iron finality to a finish that’s not metallic or bitter, and doesn’t leave you reaching for the water bottle to spray down your tongue.

Rodney Strong 2013 Sonoma County Reserve Malbec ($40) This venerable Sonoma County winery has picked up 60 acres of Malbec in the last four years— seems like a lot for a sideshow variety, but this wine is a solid classic of the style. A hint of smoke suggests a well-used grill, skipping the “burnt rubber” aroma that is either a flaw or a charm with some South American examples. Blackberry wine brings Zinfandel to mind, then red plum and raspberry offer Merlot comparisons—split the difference and call it pretty good.

Arts Ideas OCEAN IN A DROP Surfing, like golf 20 years ago, is spawning a whole new genre of spirituality books.

Writing Waves Jaimal Yogis chases surf and enlightenment in new book BY STETT HOLBROOK

T

here is something about immersing oneself in saltwater for extended periods of time and dodging walls of waves that lends to some deep thinking about life and our place in the world.

Surfing has recently produced some excellent works of nonfiction that have little to do with stoned-out surfer stereotypes. Last year’s Pulitzer Prize for autobiography went to William Finnegan for Barbarian

Days: A Surfing Life. Steve Kotler’s West of Jesus: Surfing, Science and the Origins of Belief is a fine book on the intersection of surfing and spirituality. And I’ll add Jaimal Yogis’ new memoir, All Our Waves Are Water: Stumbling Toward Enlightenment and the Perfect Ride, to the mix.

Yogis, a San Francisco–based author, wrote the book as a follow-up to Saltwater Buddha, a coming-of-age story that blends surfing and spiritual seeking. All Our Waves picks up where he left off in and chronicles Yogis’ multidisciplinary spiritual quests and more earthbound struggles

of career, friendship and starting a family. Yogis’ spiritual and physical journeys take him to the Himalayas, Jerusalem, a Washington Heights friary, Puerto Escondido, Mexico, and the cold water of San Francisco’s Ocean Beach.

Yogis sprinkles the book with quotable quotes that connect with the here and now: “God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere” (Voltaire); “Without going into the ocean, it is impossible to find precious, priceless pearls” (Vimalakirti Sutra); and my favorite and most apt to this

book, “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop” (Rumi). Buddhism is the guiding light, and the book and Yogis offers a practical tour of Buddhist philosophy.

The subtext of All Our Waves is not surfing, but the search for the universal and the divine in whatever form she/he/it takes.

“The word ‘spiritual’ can be a bit confusing,” Yogis says. “In Zen and other non-dual schools of spirituality like Vedanta yoga, everything is considered spiritual, even the most mundane tasks like washing dishes. So surfing is just one of the things I do because I love to do it.

“And because I practice meditation and am interested in what you might call spiritual or philosophical questions—why are we here, how do we realize our potential, how do we reduce suffering—the sea becomes another place to practice.”

With equal doses of humor, selfdeprecation and well-rendered storytelling, Yogis does a great job making these heady themes accessible and entertaining through personal experiences.

In the toxic fumes that characterizes American political and cultural discourse of late, All Our Waves Are Water is a lungful of fresh air and a poignant reminder of the wider world beyond the glow of the TV screen. And Yogis is a sharp and insightful writer who has the good sense to temper his spiritual pursuits with a healthy dose of humility and humanity.

Jaimal Yogis will read from ‘All Our Waves Are Water’ at several North Bay events, including Point Reyes Books in Point Reyes Station on July 2, Copperfield’s Books in Sebastopol on July 7, Book Passage in Corte Madera on July 9 and Diesel Books in Larkspur on Aug. 16.

Sally Hawkins brings Nova Scotia folk artist to life BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

he endearingly gawky Sally Hawkins (Happy Go Lucky) stars in Maudie, and it’s one of the best ever cinematic portraits of a character constrained by her body, up there with My Left Foot.

The Nova Scotia outsider artist Maud Lewis (Hawkins) was bent over with juvenile arthritis with hands so clawed she eventually had to hold the brushes with her wrists. Lewis made a small name for herself, painting her world—the pets she had, or wished she had, and flowers for every season.

She lived in a 10-by-12-foot shack in Nova Scotia with her fishpeddling husband, Everett (Ethan Hawke), selling her paintings by the roadside as souvenirs. Because of her immobility, Lewis couldn’t paint very big canvases. Much of her work has disappeared.

Maudie shows how Lewis’ life changed when she left her domineering aunt and took a job with Everett, a scowling, almost vicious grownup orphan with a bad temper. Hawke has to stretch— he’s a tenor trying to sing bass—though it’s clear why he was cast; being a warm, handsome actor, Hawke lets you forgive Everett for his meanness.

Hawkins’ unguarded grin, the husky voice from too many cigs, the candidness and sidelong ways are disarming. There is a secret world inside her; left alone, she talks a bit to herself, or to the chickens, though Hawkins’ Maud isn’t a simpleton, and the film has plenty of salt to it. In one poignant scene, she brings a hen to the chopping block: “Yeah. It’s time. You know, don’t you?”

Maudie would be captivating even if its main character had never painted a lick.

‘Maudie’ opens July 7 at Summerfield Cinemas, 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.525.8909.

BECKER-ESQUE Tod Dickow joins Charged Particles at the Blue Note.

Electric Jazz

Charged Particles honor Michael Brecker in Napa

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

B

ay Area jazz trio Charged Particles are not afraid to plug in and get loud when the occasion calls for it.

For nearly 30 years, the band has engaged in a variety of genreblending projects marked by elaborate arrangements and fiery performances.

This month, saxophonist Tod Dickow joins Charged Particles for a concert tribute to saxophonist and bandleader Michael Brecker at Blue Note in Napa, July 12.

Founded by Stanford professor and drummer Jon Krosnick, Charged Particles also features keyboardist Murray Low and bassist Aaron Germain.

Together, the group covers a broad spectrum of jazz with an emphasis on fusion’s heavy doses of synthesizers and amplified instruments.

Charged Particles perform with Tod Dickow on Wednesday, July 12.

1030 Main St., Napa. 7pm and 9:30pm. $10–$20. bluenotenapa.com.

Music

“Around 1970, Miles Davis, Weather Report and others saw synthesizers and the electric bass as a way to increase the volume, increase the energy and increase the breadth of sounds you had to offer audiences,” Krosnick says.

“All of a sudden it became very loud and very intense.”

These days, Krosnick notes many jazz players have gone back to the acoustic styles popular before 1970, and his aim for Charged Particles is to embrace all of those historic periods and sensibilities into a blend. Low performs on electric keyboards as well as a traditional piano, and Germain switches between electric and standup bass.

“What we want to do is to make sure the audience is engaged and interested and surprised as often as possible,” Krosnick says. “We’re always looking for how to make the next song different from the last one.”

The group also keeps it interesting by joining forces with other performers, as they’ve done with San Francisco saxophonist Tod Dickow for this upcoming tribute concert to the late Michael Brecker, who passed away in 2007.

“Michael [Brecker] is in the handful of the most important jazz musicians ever,” Krosnick says. “He really set a standard for technical excellence, but his brilliant creative ideas and innovative compositions moved the music forward. He was a very important voice for my generation and younger generations of jazz listeners.”

Though Brecker’s music is rarely found in songbooks, Dickow devoted himself to transcribing his works by listening to archives, and the band’s relentless rehearsals have allowed them to perform Brecker’s most complex songs with proper precision and musical expression.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring it to the Blue Note, which I think is a really important chapter for jazz in the Bay Area,” Krosnick says. “It’s arguably the most important jazz club franchise in the world, and for us to be invited to play there is an honor.”

n states where marijuana has been legalized, traffic stops resulting in searches by state police are down dramatically, according to a new analysis from the Marshall Project and the Center for Investigative Reporting.

In states where possession of marijuana is legal, police can no longer assume criminal activity simply because pot is present, which would have given them probable cause to conduct a search. And that means fewer interactions between drivers and police, reducing the prospect of dangerous—or even deadly—clashes.

But even though the number of searches dropped for all racial groups, black and brown drivers are still being subjected to searches at a higher rate than whites, the study found.

And because the report only studied state police stops, not stops by local law enforcement, which patrol urban areas with higher minority population

concentrations, the report may understate the racial disparity in traffic stop searches.

The report is based on an analysis of data from researchers at Stanford University, who also released a report this week studying some 60 million state patrol stops in 31 states between 2011 and 2015, the most thorough look yet at national traffic stop data. The results from the legal pot states of Colorado and Washington are striking.

In Colorado, the number of traffic stop searches dropped by nearly two-thirds for whites, 58 percent for Hispanics and nearly half for blacks. In Washington, the search rate dropped by about 25 percent for whites and Hispanics, and 34 percent for African Americans.

Still, racial disparities in search rates persisted in both states. In Colorado, the search rate for black drivers was 3.3 times that for whites, and the rate for Hispanic drivers was 2.7 times that for whites.

In Washington, blacks were twice as likely to be searched as whites, while the search rate for Hispanics was 1.7 times that of whites.

The data corresponds to marijuana arrests in legal states.

In Colorado, for instance, a 2016 Department of Public Safety report found that while the number of pot arrests dropped by nearly half after legalization, the arrest rate for blacks was still nearly three times that of whites.

“Legalizing marijuana is not going to solve racial disparities,” says Mark Silverstein, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado. “We need to do a lot more before we get at that.”

But legalizing marijuana does reduce the number of traffic stop searches, and given the fraught relationship between police and the citizenry, especially communities of color, that is a good thing in itself.

I very much hope that you will get to take a big trip to an intimate turning point that’s not too far away. I pray you will find or create a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart.

In Dr. Seuss’s book, Horton Hatches the Egg, an elephant assumes the duty of sitting on a bird’s egg, committed to keeping it warm until hatching time. The nest is located high in a tree, which makes the undertaking even more incongruous.

By the climax of the tale, Horton has had to persist in his loyal service through a number of challenges. But all ends well, and there’s an added bonus: The creature that’s born is miraculously part-bird, part-elephant. I see similarities between this story and your life right now, Gemini. The duty you’re carrying out doesn’t come naturally, and you’re not even sure you’re doing it right.

But if you keep at it till it’s completed, you’ll earn a surprising reward.

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Unless you were raised by a pack of feral raccoons or a fundamentalist cult, now is a perfect time to dive in to your second childhood. Is there a toy you wanted as a kid but never got? Buy it for yourself now! What were the delicious foods you craved back then? Eat them! Where were the special places you loved? Go there, or to spots that remind you of them. Who were the people you were excited to be with? Talk with them. Actions like these will get you geared up for a full-scale immersion in innocent eagerness. And that would be just the right medicine for your soul.

It’s prime time for you to break through any inhibitions you might have about accessing and expressing your passion. To help you in this righteous cause, I’ve assembled a batch of words you should be ready to use with frequency and sweet abandon. Consider writing at least part of this list on your forearm with a felt-tip pen every morning so it’s always close at hand: enamored, piqued, enchanted, stirred, roused, enthused, delighted, animated, elevated, thrilled, captivated, turned-on, enthralled, exuberant, fired up, awakened.

LEO (July 23–August 22) Matt Groening, creator of the cartoon series The Simpsons, says that a great turning point in his early years came when his Scoutmaster told him he was the worst Boy Scout in history. While this might have demoralized other teenagers, it energized Groening. “Well, somebody’s got to be the worst,” he triumphantly told the Scoutmaster.

And then, “instead of the earth opening up and swallowing me, instead of the flames of hell fire licking at my knees—nothing happened. And I was free.” I suspect you may soon be blessed with a comparable liberation, Leo. Maybe you’ll be released from having to live up to an expectation you shouldn’t even live up to.

Or maybe you’ll be criticized in a way that will motivate your drive for excellence for years to come.

VIRGO (August 23–Sept. 22) Nineteen of my readers who work in the advertising industry signed a petition requesting that I stop badmouthing their field. “Without advertising,” they testified, “life itself would be impossible.” In response, I agreed to attend their re-education seminar. There, under their tutelage, I came to acknowledge that everything we do can be construed as a kind of advertising. Each of us is engaged in a mostly unconscious campaign to promote our unique way of looking at and being in the world.

Realizing the truth, I now feel no reservations about urging you Virgos to take advantage of the current astrological omens. They suggest that you can and should be aggressive and ingenious about marketing yourself, your ideas and your products.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) In 2003, the American Film Institute announced the creation of a new prize to honor acting talent. Dubbed the Charlton Heston Award, it was designed to be handed out

BY ROB BREZSNY

periodically to luminaries who have distinguished themselves over the course of long careers. The first recipient of the award was, oddly enough, Charlton Heston himself, born under the sign of Libra. I hope you’re inspired by this story to wipe away any false modesty you might be suffering from. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable moment to create a big new award named after you and bestow it upon yourself. As part of the festivities, tell yourself about what makes you special, amazing, and valuable.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Here’s your riddle: What unscratchable itch drives you halfcrazy? But you’re secretly glad it drives you half-crazy, because you know your half-craziness will eventually lead you to an experience or resource that will relieve the itch. Here’s your prophecy: Sometime soon, scratching the unscratchable itch will lead you to the experience or resource that will finally relieve the itch.

Here’s your homework: Prepare yourself emotionally to fully receive and welcome the new experience or resource. Make sure you’re not so addicted to scratching the unscratchable itch that you fail to take advantage of the healing it’s bringing you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

The best way to go forward is to go backward; the path to the bright future requires a shadowy regression. Put another way, you should return to the roots of a triumph in order to find a hidden flaw that might eventually threaten to undo your success. Correct that flaw now and you’ll make it unnecessary for karmic repercussions to undermine you later. But please don’t get all solemn-faced and anxious about this assignment. Approach it with humorous selfcorrection and you’ll ensure that all goes well.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Are you familiar with the psychological concepts of anima and animus? You’re in the midst of being intoxicated by one of those creatures from inner space. Though you may not be fully conscious of it, you women are experiencing a mystical marriage with an imaginal character that personifies all that’s masculine in your psyche. You men are going through the analogous process with a female figure within you. I believe this is true no matter what your sexual orientation is. While this awesome psychological event may be fun, educational and even ecstatic, it could also be confusing to your relationships with real people. Don’t expect them to act like or live up to the very real fantasy you’re communing with.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) As a recovering save-the-world addict, I have felt compassionate skepticism toward my fellow junkies who are still in the throes of their obsession. But recently I’ve discovered that just as a small minority of alcoholics can safely take a drink now and then, so can a few save-the-world-aholics actually save the world a little bit at a time without getting strung-out. With that as a disclaimer, Aquarius, I’m letting you know that the cosmos has authorized you to pursue your own brand of fanatical idealism in the coming weeks.

To keep yourself honest, make fun of your zealotry every now and then.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) The potential

breakthrough I foresee for you is a rare species of joy. It’s a gritty, hard-earned pleasure that will spawn beautiful questions you’ll be glad to have awakened.

It’s a surprising departure from your usual approach to feeling good that will expand your understanding of what happiness means. Here’s one way to ensure that it will visit you in all of its glory: Situate yourself between the fabulous contradictions in your life and say, “Squeeze me, tease me, please me.”
