Recological Wow, have I missed Recology (“The Zero Wasteland,” Aug. 16)! I moved from S.F. three years ago, and it was like moving into the dark ages regarding what was not being recycled, and it actually got worse with time.

ANN GARDNER Via Bohemian.com

I was pleased to read about the change in the garbage collectors who serve us. It was about a year or so that we could no longer purchase good compost at the Sonoma County landfill. The compost at the dump was at a fair price and handy enough to save on hauling. Since then, our green waste is being taken to another county at greater expense and pollution. Recology looks to be a better choice for reducing ecological impact. It is best to keep all processes local, as it reduces

cost and is more likely to keep us aware of where our waste goes. What are the plans for the future disposal of our waste? Will it be possible to purchase compost directly? Will there be citizen input on expanding and bringing us into zero-waste paradigm? Listening to the people you serve is good for our community and the climate.

Added Benefits I am encouraged to see a gay candidate running for Sonoma County sheriff in June 2018 (Open Mic, Aug. 9). Jay Foxworthy has all the street cred to be sheriff, but with an added dimension of compassion and understanding of diversity in our community. It would be so fantastic not to have conservatives policing us for a change.

Quitters of the Gritters In 1971, I broke a pack-plus per day cigarette habit by lighting up a joint whenever the nicotine craving got too strong (“Off the Booze,” Aug.16). Fortysix years later, I am still nicotine-free, but not smoking as much weed as I used to. I guess I was way ahead of my time.

Shut It Down Neighbors rally against illegal cannabis grows BY SHEPHERD BLISS

support cannabis growing that follows the rules and doesn’t endanger creeks, wildlife or neighbors. I’m a Peace in Medicine patient; CBD-rich cannabis improves my health. But two new cannabis farms crossed the line.

Lari, my farmer neighbor in the Blucher Creek Watershed near Sebastopol, emailed me Aug. 7 to inform me that a new neighbor bulldozed a large area to construct huge cannabis-growing buildings. We immediately visited the site—now a disaster to those dependent on water, including endangered California freshwater shrimp, wildlife and vegetation. “What we saw was jaw-dropping,” wrote Lari. “Land cleared, topsoil pushed into the creek. They filled the tributary, so needed for flood protection. A 100-foot-long building appeared, which three days prior was a virgin field. Three more large building sites were cleared and the topsoil pushed into the riparian zone. Miles of plastic, chemical barrels, piles of fertilizer and marijuana plants arrived.” The grower had no permits. We reported this violation to various government officials and agencies, including supervisors David Rabbitt and Lynda Hopkins. They responded promptly and effectively. “Illegal grows are a huge concern, environmentally and socially,” wrote Supervisor Hopkins to a neighbor. “Unfortunately, they give the folks doing the right thing a bad name,” she added. Representatives from the North Coast Regional Water Quality Board, Sonoma County’s Permit and Resources Management, Supervisor Rabbitt’s office and our Bloomfield/Lone Pine/ Cunningham Neighborhood Association members met at Lari’s farm. Government officials shut the grow down. The new owner then put the land up for sale. We reminded his agent that a full disclosure was necessary. He took the “For Sale” sign down. Another neighbor identified an un-permitted grow on nearby Schaeffer Road, which we also managed to shut down. Dear cannabis growers: please follow the rules, which not only benefit you financially, but also the environment and neighbors. We’re watching you carefully. We are willing to assist others to shut down illegal grows. Shepherd Bliss (3sb@comcast.net) has farmed the Sebastopol countryside for 24 years and recently retired from college teaching.

Paper THE

ALL ABOARD Now that the SMART train is set to begin service, one of the questions that remains

is what impact it will have on traffic along Highway 1o1.

Train I Ride

Top brass at SMART say trains finally set to roll on Aug. 25 BY THOMAS BRODERICK Mr. Godot told me to tell you he won’t come this evening but surely tomorrow. —Samuel Beckett, ‘Waiting for Godot’

n July 2008 I was standing on a train platform in Tokyo when a Japanese acquaintance asked me, “What are train stations like in America?”

I thought long and hard before answering. “They’re like this, but we call them airports.” The humor was lost on my companion. However, the conversation did reveal a striking difference between America and the rest of the world. American passenger trains, for the most part, have gone the way of the dinosaur. I’m not qualified to say if that’s a good or bad thing. It’s

just that today, most Americans simply don’t know what to make of passenger trains that aren’t meant for sightseeing tours. But in the fall of 2008, Sonoma County voters bucked the trend and approved SMART, the then-proposed passenger rail service that would connect Cloverdale to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal in Marin County. Rail commuters would bypass the

Novato-Petaluma traffic woes on Highway 101, zooming past at a comfortable 80 miles per hour. It would be glorious.

Nine Years Later “I’m not paying $23 to take a train!” The appalled man was dressed to the nines in turn-of-the-century attire, one of a dozen historical re-enactors standing on the downtown Santa Rosa SMART station platform. His mind simulating life in 1900, it’s no wonder that he thought $23 was too much for a round-trip train ride. Except today, it’s free. Besides this group of men and women seemingly unstuck in time, the train platform was half-full when I arrived just after 8am on July 22, one of SMART’s free-preview days. There were couples, families, a few curious solo travelers. Also on the platform were SMART ambassadors, friendly men and women answering questions and handing out Clipper cards. The question of the day, “When does real service start?” was met with shrugs and stories of pending (delayed) government approval. The platform continued to fill up as the big moment approached. One of the SMART ambassadors reported that the train would be standing-room only. That was fine with me. I was out to discover what people thought about Sonoma and Marin counties’ long-awaited transportation revolution. The moment arrived. More than half the crowd took pictures of the approaching train. “New train smell” escaped as the doors opened, off-gassing chemicals that the state of California will likely soon tell us cause cancer. I stood near the closed doors and braced myself. Thankfully, the train started without a jolt. We were underway, heading south to San Rafael. I talked to Dave Bettin, the conductor in my car. Mr. Bettin

On the trip back I had a great view out the window. In some places it is breathtaking. There isn’t a single building, road, car or any sign of civilization. It’s like the train is traveling through the past. I imagined SMART television commercials based around the scenery. Picture this: a tired businessman gets on the train in San Rafael. He buys a glass of wine at the snack bar before settling in to look out the window, where the sun is setting over golden pastures. Get on that advertising campaign, SMART. And since I’m handing out advice, please allow riders to use their Clipper card at the snack bar. You’ll make a ton of money that way. Past Rohnert Park, homes and businesses filled up the view, along with large cannabis farms on the west side of Roseland. “You’d never see that in St. Louis,” one of the conductors said,

One Month Later It’s Aug. 23 and we’re still waiting. The SMART opening turned out to be an even rarer event than the solar eclipse this week. But if SMART is to be believed, the trains are set to roll for real on Aug. 25, helping commuters get from point A to point B in an environmentally friendly style, complete with coffee and snacks and killer views of cannabis fields. The ride is free on Friday and fares will be half-price through Labor Day. We will see. When I lived in Japan and was asked about commuter train stations in America, I was an intern at the Central Japan Railway Company. JR Central, among other things, is the majority shareholder of Nippon Sharyo, the company that built SMART’s trains. On a tour of the Nippon Sharyo factory floor just outside Nagoya, I saw firsthand the care that goes into building some of the safest and most technologically advanced trains in the world. At the time I thought how great it would be if these trains existed in America. And now that the feds have signed off on SMART’s positive train control system which shuts train service down to prevent emergencies like derailments, here they are, right in our backyard and ready to roll. I’m glad the day is coming soon. But until then, if anyone should ask me about SMART’s first day of service, I will continue to cite Beckett: “Surely tomorrow.”

chuckling as he pointed out the window. My two-hour journey ended where it began. I, along with 50 or so other passengers, got off at the downtown Santa Rosa station at Railroad Square. Walking back to my car, I planned part two of my research: How would the free ride compare to taking SMART on the first day of paid service, scheduled at the time for Aug. 2 . . .

seemed just beyond arm’s reach. “This thing is destined to fail,” an older man reported. His very specific doomsday prediction: an earthquake will wreck the track in Petaluma and the powers that be will shut SMART down for good.

has worked for SMART since 2011, and uses his law enforcement expertise to help train other SMART conductors on how to deal with everything from disorderly passengers to medical emergencies. He also confirmed that anyone who doesn’t pay automatically gets the boot at the next station. In the same car, I met Jennifer and her young daughter, Grace. The two were out for a pancake breakfast in Petaluma before taking the return train home. Jennifer told me that she wasn’t going to use SMART to commute, just on special occasions. “So what do you think?” I asked Grace. It was her first time riding a train. After some light prompting from her mother, Grace answered. “It’s fun.” Leaving Jennifer and Grace, I changed cars and checked out the snack bar. Even at 9am, beer and wine were on tap along with a light selection of snacks. Needing to keep my wits about me, I paid $4 for a cup of OK coffee. Alas, the girl behind the counter clammed up the moment I told her I was a reporter. “Oh, well,” I thought. “At least I still get to claim the coffee as a work expense.” After an hour of standing, my legs were beginning to ache as the train approached the San Rafael station. I was looking forward to sitting down at a table, pulling out my laptop—but no one got off at San Rafael. Yep, that Saturday-morning crowd of 200 people stole my idea: take SMART back and forth without getting off. In San Rafael, the number of passengers nearly doubled, and I was squished against a door. Despite the absence of personal space, I gained a captive audience for the ride back to Santa Rosa. My compatriots included a married couple from San Rafael. “You could throw popcorn at people’s balconies they’re so close,” the husband said, taking a picture of apartments that

Dining MORE THAN S’MORES A trip to France changed how Sonoma Brands’ Jon Sebastiani thinks of these odd puffy concoctions.

Smash It Up

Sonoma’s Smashmallow seeks to build a better marshmallow BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY

he marshmallow could use a reboot. It’s squat, white, soft and kinda boring. It comes into play with s’mores, Rice Krispies treats, hot chocolate and Rocky Road ice cream. That’s about it.

Food entrepreneur Jon Sebastiani is reimagining the humble marshmallow as a gourmet

snack. He calls it Smashmallow. Sebastiani got the idea in France. “When I was traveling in Paris, I noticed that artisan bakers would use marshmallows as a decadent, stand-alone snack, as opposed to the American way of sticking them in a s’more or Rice Krispies recipe,” he says. “That’s when I knew that we could reintroduce the marshmallow in a fun and flavorful way to the American marketplace.”

Sebastiani is the founder of Sonoma Brands, a consumer product incubator and venture fund responsible for, among others, Krave beef jerky. With Krave, the game plan was to take a familiar snack and reinvent it with better ingredients and repackage it with clever graphics. In Smashmallow’s case, the product’s vibrant website and packaging tries to cast a wider net, capturing sweet-toothed kids and comfort-seeking adults.

“There’s usually just one flavor with a marshmallow: vanilla,” says Sebastiani. “I wanted to start with fun and nostalgic flavors that were approachable and kidfriendly.” The selection was built with a sophisticated palate in mind, with flavors like lemon and poppy seed, toasted coconut and pineapple, cinnamon churro, mocha chip and more. The flavors are delicate and not at all artificial. Textural additions, like crunchy poppy seeds, cinnamon sugar and coconut chips, accent the pillowy texture of the cubes. Smashmallow is made with nonGMO ingredients and organic sugar. “At a commercial level, it’s extremely difficult to create marshmallows from scratch,” says Sebastiani, “and the machinery and equipment that are used in the marshmallow space were actually unable to produce the experience we required—fun inclusions and layers of flavor. This was actually our biggest challenge.” The result was finally achieved with a proprietary formula combining organic cane sugar, tapioca syrup, gelatin, corn starch and flavor concentrates. Isn’t that getting a little close to healthfood territory? “It’s not,” Sebastiani says, “but we believe Smashmallow is a better-for-you alternative to other junk-filled cookies, brownies and candy.” While the year-old Smashmallow is aiming high, with placement in the Safeway chain and a busy schedule of national trade shows, Sebastiani cares deeply about the brand’s Sonoma County roots. He lives in Sonoma, and the offices are located in the city’s downtown. “At Sonoma Brands we hope to propel food entrepreneurship in this region that is inspired by food and wine.” he says. “I grew up in the wine business—so flavor research and brand development to create a story of differentiation is a part of me. Sonoma is a region rich in culinary tradition and that absolutely impacts my work.” For more info, check out smashmallow.com.

Art Dome Parachute Days celebrates indie art

BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY

ith the 10th annual Outside Lands festival still fresh in the memories of music fans, it would take a really special occasion to re-instill open-air-fest enthusiasm in Bay Area folks. Parachute Days, coming to West Marin on Saturday, Aug. 26, is shaping up to be such an occasion. Crowdfunded and initiated by some of the area’s youngest, brightest and most creative minds, it’s a day of music, food and community that organizers hope will become a tradition. Behind the festival is a team of five, led by Gabe Korty. With a photography degree from California College of the Arts, Korty used to be a part of an artists’ collective called Session Space in Oakland. These days, he lives in Point Reyes Station, keeping himself busy with woodworking, sculpting, writing

music and shooting film. Leah Fritts moved to Point Reyes Station seven years ago to work at Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. as marketing and operations specialist. She has since left the company and now manages Little Folkies, which provides classes in folk music for young children, and hosts a radio show on KWMR. Dylan Squires moved to Bolinas in 2010 as a touring musician and set roots as an assistant director for Commonweal, a local nonprofit. Danny Vitali is Squires’ musical collaborator; a multiinstrumentalist and songwriter based in Point Reyes Station. Finally, Rachel Pozivenec brings experience in community building, grant writing and production. “In 2015, me and my friend Benny started the parachute project idea by collecting massive pieces of driftwood to build a center support for a 64-foot-wide parachute,” Korty says. “Then we approached Tyler Love, the owner of Love Field”—a former baseball field in West Marin County that previously hosted the Far West Fest—“and asked him if we could use the space.” Love said yes, and the two held a potluck community event. In 2016, the Love Field potluck added bands to the mix, and Korty received multiple requests from the community to put up the parachute again. Vitali utilized the 2016 festivities to host his recordrelease show, which became the first ticketed Parachute Days concert. This year’s festival boasts a varied musical lineup including Here We Go Magic, an indie band dreamt up by Point Reyes Station resident Luke Temple. Big Sur psyche-pop band the Range of Light Wilderness, Bolinas ethereal pop artist Kacey Johansing, Minnesota songwriter Paul Spring and others also appear. “We are all pretty big music nerds,” Fritts says. “We wanted to curate a collection of bands for the community and other folks in the Bay Area that felt unique to us.”

Buds and Beer AbsoluteXtracts, Lagunitas get Super Critical

BY STETT HOLBROOK

t’s a match made in . . . Sonoma County.

Santa Rosa’s AbsoluteXtracts and Petaluma’s Lagunitas Brewing Co. have partnered to create two new products that are unique to Sonoma County and may signal more alcohol-cannabis collaboration in the years ahead. This month, Lagunitas released Super Critical Ale, a THC-free beer made with cannabis and hop terpenes, the fragrant oily compounds that give cannabis and hop strains their characteristic taste and aromas. While the beer is non-psychoactive, it weighs in at 6.6 percent alcohol by volume and 88 IBUs. The beer is named after the CO2 extraction process used to isolate and preserve cannabis and hop terpenes. Super Critical Ale is brewed with seven hop strains and cannabis terpenes from Blue Dream and Girl Scout Cookie cultivars. The limited-edition

brew will be available on tap only at select locations like Brewster’s in Petaluma and Sprenger’s Tap Room in Santa Rosa, but word is it’s going fast. On the flip side, AbsoluteXtracts debuted its version of Super Critical, a cannabis vape catridge infused with hop and cannabis terpenes that the company says will give the products a distinct Lagunitas flavor. At over 80 percent potency, this one definitely has THC in it. The vape catridges are available at dispensaries throughout California. Kial Long, vice president of marketing for CannaCraft, AbsoluteXtracts’s parent company, said Lagunitas and AbsoluteXtracts have been chatting about partnering for a year but only got serious in the past month. Because both companies use the super critical extraction process for hops and cannabis respectively, exchanging one oil for the other made production easy, says Long. The collaboration comes from the companies’ appreciation for one another’s product. “We’ve always noticed a lot of similarities between our industries, and we wanted to see what we could come up with if we started brainstorming together,” said Karen Hamilton, director of communications with Lagunitas, in a statement. While this is the first time Lagunitas has made beer with cannabis oils, it’s not the company’s first weed-friendly beer. The brewery’s OneHitter series (ahem) includes the Waldos’ Special Ale, an ode to the supposed originators of the term “420.” Earlier this month the Wine Industry Network hosted its Wine & Weed Symposium in Santa Rosa, a sold-out event that explored collaboration between those two industries. Long says the partnership with Lagunitas is their first such collaboration, and she sees more alliances in the future. “Everybody is talking about it,” she says.

For the week of August 23

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Welcome to Swami Moonflower’s Psychic Hygiene Hints. Ready for some mystical cleansing? Hint #1: To remove stains on your attitude, use a blend of Chardonnay wine, tears from a cathartic crying session and dew collected before dawn. Hint #2: To eliminate glitches in your love life, polish your erogenous zones with pomegranate juice while you visualize the goddess kissing your cheek. #3: To get rid of splotches on your halo, place angel food cake on your head for two minutes, then bury the cake in holy ground while chanting, “It’s not my fault! My evil twin’s a jerk!” #4: To banish the imaginary monkey on your back, whip your shoulders with a long silk ribbon until the monkey runs away. #5: To purge negative money karma, burn a dollar bill in the flame of a green candle. TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

A reader named Kameel Hawa writes that he “prefers pleasure to leisure and leisure to luxury.” That list of priorities would be excellent for you to adopt during the coming weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you will be the recipient of extra amounts of permission, relief, approval, and ease. I won’t be surprised if you come into possession of a fresh X-factor or wild card. In my opinion, to seek luxury would be a banal waste of such precious blessings. You’ll get more health-giving benefits that will last longer if you cultivate simple enjoyments and restorative tranquility.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) The coming weeks will be an excellent time to cruise past the houses where you grew up, the schools you used to attend, the hotspots where you and your old friends hung out and the places where you first worked and had sex. In fact, I recommend a grand tour of your past. If you can’t literally visit the locations where you came of age, simply visualize them in detail. In your imagination, take a leisurely excursion through your life story. Why do I advise this exercise? Because you can help activate your future potentials by reconnecting with your roots. CANCER (June 21–July 22) One of my favorite Cancerian artists is Penny Arcade, a New York performance artist, actress and playwright. In this horoscope, I offer a testimonial in which she articulates the spirit you’d be wise to cultivate in the coming weeks. She says, “I am the person I know best, inside out, the one who best understands my motivations, my struggles, my triumphs. Despite occasionally betraying my best interests to keep the peace, to achieve goals, or for the sake of beloved friendships, I astound myself by my appetite for life, my unwavering curiosity into the human condition, my distrust of the status quo, my poetic soul and abiding love of beauty, my strength of character in the face of unfairness and my optimism despite defeats and loss.” LEO (July 23–August 22) The Witwatersrand is a series of cliffs in South Africa. It encompasses 217 square miles. From this area, which is a tiny fraction of the earth’s total land surface, humans have extracted 50 percent of all the gold ever mined. I regard this fact as an apt metaphor for you to meditate on in the next 12 months, Leo. If you’re alert, you will find your soul’s equivalent of Witwatersrand. What I mean is that you’ll have a golden opportunity to discover emotional and spiritual riches that will nurture your soul as it has rarely been nurtured. VIRGO (August 23–September 22) What I wish for you is a toasty coolness. I pray that you will claim a messy gift. I want you to experience an empowering surrender and a calming climax. I very much hope, Virgo, that you will finally see an obvious secret and capitalize on some unruly wisdom and take an epic trip to an intimate turning point. I trust that you’ll find a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart. These wonders may sound paradoxical, and yet they’re quite possible and exactly what you need. LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Psychologist James Hansell stated his opinion of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: “He was wrong about so many things. But he was wrong in such interesting ways. He pioneered a whole new way of looking at things.” That description should provide good raw material for you to consider as you play with your approach to life in

the coming weeks, Libra. Being right won’t be half as important as being willing to gaze at the world from upside-down, inside-out perspectives. So I urge you to put the emphasis on formulating experimental hypotheses, not on proving definitive theories. Be willing to ask naive questions and make educated guesses and escape your own certainties.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) You’re

entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll be likely to receive gifts at a higher rate than usual. Some gifts could be big, complex and catalytic, though others may be subtle, cryptic or even covert. While some may be useful, others could be problematic. So I want to make sure you know how important it is to be discerning about these offerings. You probably shouldn’t blindly accept all of them. For instance, don’t rashly accept a “blessing” that would indebt or obligate you to someone in ways that feel uncomfortable.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) You are currently under the influence of astrological conditions that have led to dramatic boosts of selfesteem in laboratory rats. To test the theory that this experimental evidence can be applied to humans, I authorize you to act like a charismatic egomaniac in the coming weeks. JUST KIDDNG! I lied about the lab rats. And I lied about you having the authorization to act like an egomaniac. But here are the true facts: The astrological omens suggest you can and should be a lyrical swaggerer and a sensitive swashbuckler.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) I invite you to eliminate all of the following activities from your repertoire in the next three weeks: squabbling, hassling, feuding, confronting, scuffling, skirmishing, sparring and brawling. Why is this my main message to you? Because the astrological omens tell me that everything important you need to accomplish will come from waging an intense crusade of peace, love, and understanding. The bickering and grappling stuff won’t help you achieve success even a little—and would probably undermine it. AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Stockbrokers in Pakistan grew desperate when the Karachi Stock Exchange went into a tailspin. In an effort to reverse the negative trend, they performed a ritual sacrifice of 10 goats in a parking lot. But their “magic” failed. Stocks continued to fade. Much later they recovered, but not in a timely manner that would suggest the sacrifice worked. I urge you to avoid their approach to fixing problems, especially now. Reliance on superstition and wishful thinking is guaranteed to keep you stuck. On the other hand, I’m happy to inform you that the coming weeks will be a highly favorable time to use disciplined research and rigorous logic to solve dilemmas. PISCES (February 19–March 20)

In the coming days, maybe you could work some lines from the Biblical Song of Solomon into your intimate exchanges. The moment is ripe for such extravagance. Can you imagine saying things like, “Your lips are honey” or “You are a fountain in the garden, a well of living waters”? In my opinion, it wouldn’t even be too extreme for you to murmur, “May I find the scent of your breath like apricots, and your whispers like spiced wine flowing smoothly to welcome my caresses.” If those sentiments seem too flowery, you could pluck gems from Pablo Neruda’s love sonnets. How about this one: “I want to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees.” Here’s another: “I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”

Produce

Locally Grown in Santa Rosa, CA Founded by Greg Nilsen in 1985, Wine Country Cuisine provided the innovative chefs creating “California Cuisine” with vegetables and fruits grown in Sonoma County. This fresh produce, when combined with other locally produced foods and wine, resulted in regional cuisine rivaling that of France’s Province, a “Wine Country” cuisine.
