New Disease Every minute, logging companies and farmers cut down or burn about 30 football fields’ worth of forest in developing nations. That’s not just an environmental tragedy. By forcing animals from their habitats and bringing them into closer contact with humans,

THIS MODERN WORLD

deforestation accelerates the spread of dangerous animal-borne diseases like ebola, Zika, Lyme and the plague. In other words, deforestation doesn’t just kill trees and animals—it kills people.

The problem is huge. Every year, 18.7 million acres of forest, an area roughly the size of South Carolina, vanish.

From August 2015 to July 2016, the rate of deforestation in the Amazon surged 29 percent compared to the previous 12 months. If deforestation continues at its current pace, every rain forest on the planet will disappear within 100 years.

By Tom Tomorrow

This assault on animals’ environment has unleashed many of the most dangerous diseases of the 20th century. Consider the case of Madagascar. I traveled there in November to aid with the international response to their first ever urban outbreak of pneumonic plague—a disease similar to the Black Death, but deadlier. More than 2,000 cases were reported; 200 people died.

Deforestation fueled this disaster.

During the rainy season, locals burn forests to create more room for crops.

The fires drive plague-carrying rats into nearby communities. The island nation, plague-free a century ago, now reports more cases of the disease annually than any other country.

Fortunately, there are several ways to stop deforestation. Richer nations could pay developing countries to stop cutting down trees. Take the case of Liberia. In 2008, the country sold half its forest to timber companies. Six years later, the government of Norway agreed to pay Liberia $150 million to end legal logging operations and develop programs to protect forests.

Madagascar’s pneumonic plague, Liberia’s ebola, Brazil’s Zika, and the United States’ expanding Lyme problem must be a wakeup call about the need to protect forests.

Not Funny What’s with all the misplaced outrage over lame jokes? BY TOM GOGOLA

D

onald Trump’s no-class Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner appearance in 2016 reminded me that I actually thought his joke about Hillary Clinton attending the hoary event to prove she didn’t hate Catholics was pretty sharp on its own terms.

The problem with the puerile pre-president, of course, was the context and the venue, and the reality-show Republican nominee couldn’t help himself that October night in New York in violating the basic lay of the land that guides the annual Smith dinner: the humor is generally of the self-deprecating variety, and the event is supposed to lend a sense of unity, if not basic decency, to a nation at the conclusion of a bitter campaign season.

By contrast, what is wrong with all these ridiculous high-tone Washington reporters and their outrage over a few pretty weak jokes made at the expense of horrible liars who work for Trump?

The outrage that followed the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual dinner this weekend was directed mostly at Michelle Wolf’s jabs at White House shill Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Rather than being offensive, she was guilty of a worse crime: she wasn’t that funny.

Wolf was great at highlighting a basic truth about Trump, which is that he’s lied more than 3,000 times since he took office (according to a Washington Post tally this week), largely on the strength of his disdainful comments about Hillary Clinton’s ass and his flagrant mocking of a disabled reporter, aka “an enemy of the people.”

The jokes directed at Sanders weren’t especially funny, and definitely did not warrant the full-on outrage-machine treatment that the bully-victims running this country are expert at conjuring. Wolf’s dig at Rachel Maddow was delightfully biting, yet nobody’s paying attention to her mockery of the liberal Maddow and her habit of excessive meandering in search of a point.

Who needs the Correspondents’ dinner anyway? It’s just a chance for Beltway types to preen and schmooze. Nuke it, Kim Jong-un! And we’re not saying that just because we weren’t invited—again.

Actually, the funniest joke of the week has to go to California Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy, one of the more antic throne sniffers to have emerged in the Trump era. McCarthy joked this week that the GOP would retain the House in this year’s midterms! We’ll see who’s laughing come November.

UP IN LIGHTS ‘Cops’ episodes featuring the Santa Rosa Police Department and Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office will likely air in late 2018.

Action!

Santa Rosa Police Department signs on with controversial ‘Cops’ TV show BY TOM GOGOLA

A

s it set out to participate in the television show Cops, described in January by the online Marshall Project as “the most polarizing reality TV show in America,” the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office put the department’s most polarizing officer in a lead role as liaison with the show’s producer, Zach Ragsdale.

Electronic communications obtained by the Bohemian between SCSO Sgt. Spencer Crum and Sgt. Erick Gelhaus indicate that Gelhaus was the first SCSO swing-shift officer to liaison with Cops producer Ragsdale, in late February.

Gelhaus remains the subject of a federal civil-rights lawsuit stemming from an incident in 2013 where the officer, then a deputy, shot and killed a 13-yearold Latino Santa Rosan who

was carrying a replica assault weapon. According to the emails, Gelhaus is the swing-shift officer on Monday through Thursday. He was promoted to sergeant after the Lopez shooting.

In its aftermath, the Andy Lopez shooting did much to damage community relations between the city’s Latino community and its sworn peace officers—at both the SCSO and the Santa Rosa Police Department.

The Lopez family sued Gelhaus

and Sonoma County, which has, since 2007, paid out some $4 million in legal settlements stemming from excessiveforce suits against the sheriff’s department.

The Lopez shooting gave rise to the creation of the county’s Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and Outreach, which was not contacted by SCSO before its management team decided to sign on with Cops. And, after a long delay, the Santa Rosa Police Department has signed its own contract with Cops as of this week.

Lt. Richard Kohut wrote the Bohemian on May 1 with the news: “We are moving forward with a May 15th start date, and I anticipate filming to last six to eight weeks.”

The sheriff’s office signed on with the Santa Monica–based production company in March and film crews have been doing ride-alongs with deputies for the upcoming 31st season of the program, which will now feature officers of both the SRPD and SCSO. The program will likely air later this year.

Emails obtained by the Bohemian also indicate that three other sergeants who work either the swing or graveyard shifts are participating in the program, along with deputies who work those shifts.

Gelhaus appears to have emerged as the SCSO pointperson based on Ragsdale’s schedule. Crum, the agency’s public information officer, has flat out said no to any suggestion that its decision to contract with Cops had anything to do with an upcoming documentary about the Lopez shooting, which may also find a national audience.

On Feb. 26, Crum wrote to Gelhaus: “The producer from Langley Productions (COPS TV show), Zach Ragsdale, from COPS would like to ride along on swing shift this Wednesday night. If possible, I’d like him to attend [a] briefing to initially introduce himself and seek some buy-in from the deputies. Hopefully he can be put with a proactive deputy ) 10 to show him around the

Doctor’s Confession to Petaluma

MAY 2-8 , 20 1 8 | BOH EMI A N.COM

Dear Friend, I wanted to let everyone know what happened while I was in college. It was a moment that changed my life forever. But before I tell you about my experience, I wanted to tell you my story from the start.

Let me start by explaining the photo in this letter, I’m the guy in the middle, Dr. Taatjes.

You know when I meet people in town and they usually say, “Oh yeah, I know you, you’re Dr. Taatjes. You’ve been in Petaluma for years…” Well, that’s me.

Thirty 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 23 and 24!

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 May 2 through

June 6, 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 associates Dr. Rogers, Dr. Shawn Lorenzen, 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, Christine or Brenda today for an appointment. We can help you. Thank you.

– Dr. Joel Taatjes

county. If all is approved, we will probably have them filming with a crew here in mid-March.”

A couple of back-and-forth emails then indicates that Gelhaus was not available on that Wednesday, but was available on Thursday to meet with Barksdale.

Crum then wrote to Barksdale: “I've got you set up with a swing shift ride along this Thursday.

Briefing starts at 4:15 PM. Ask for Sgt. Erick Gelhaus. I thought if you go to briefing you can meet the guys, let them know what we are planning and get their initial buy-in.”

This exchange happened before the SCSO signed the contract with Langley Productions.

On March 2, Crum wrote to Ragsdale: “How was the ride along?? Probably boring. I guess at 0300 hours we had a burglary of an armored car place with an officer involved shooting when the SRPD officers confronted [an] armed bad guy. We took 2 into custody. Shot suspect should live.

Go figure, you probably missed it by an hour.”

Ragsdale responded later that day: “Just landed back in TX. It was good! Both deputies were really good guys. I had fun even though it was relatively quite [sic] while I was there. We call it the COPS curse. I have always said departments should hire us to ride during our off season to keep their crime stats down. Looking forward to seeing the stories the crews get especially from the [Russian] River!”

According to emails obtained by the Bohemian, Kohut arranged an initial ride-along with Ragsdale back in February, months before any contract had been signed.

The SRPD has not addressed the potentially awkward optics of Gelhaus showing up on a nationally televised reality show later this year, given his controversial presence locally.

SRPD Captain Rainer Navarro says via email that “I am not aware of how or what the Sheriff’s Department did in February with the show.”

Asked to describe Gelhaus’ participation in Cops, Crum wrote

that “Sgt. Gelhaus is a swing shift patrol sergeant who holds briefings for patrol deputies. He wasn’t involved in the decision to contract with COPS or the production of COPS.” Ragsdale has not responded to the Bohemian’s attempts to contact him, so it’s not known if he was aware of Gelhaus’ history when Crum put the two men together in February. And it’s not known whether Gelhaus will wind up on the show. Under the contract it signed with Langley, the SCSO has the final say over what clips will air.

‘‘Cops’ tends to focus on incidents that portray community members in a very negative light.’

Other emails obtained by the Bohemian show that not everyone in Sonoma County was on board with the proposal from Langley Productions.

Sonoma County Deputy Counsel Joshua Myers gave the county’s blessing to the proposed contract on March 13, and it was signed shortly thereafter by the unelected SCSO sheriff, Rob Giordano. Windsor Town Manager John Jansons then wrote Giordano, on March 20, and requested “that Windsor is not included in your COPS TV show project” (emphasis in the original email).

That same day, SCSO Capt. Al Vernon wrote to Crum and asked that he “please make sure that the COPS TV crew does not film any of our deputies assigned to the Sonoma Police Department or the Town of Windsor.”

Giordano responded to

Jansons, “Your city your contract, you will not be in COPS. Thanks for reaching out. My apologies for not talking to you ahead of time.

My oversight.”

Jansons did not respond to messages about why he’s not participating in the program.

The sheriff’s oversight in contacting county officials about Cops also extended to Jerry Threet, the head of the IOLERO, who says he did not know about the Cops contract until after it was signed.

In an email between Giordano and Threet dated March 29, Threet reports that, based on a call from the Bohemian, he reached out to Crum about “views and concerns around your agency working with the Cops program,” and wanted to make sure Giordano was aware of them.

Threet said that while there was potential value to the agency (Langley promotes its program as being great for morale and recruitment when it pitches law enforcement agencies), “Cops tends to focus on incidents that portray community members in a very negative light, resulting in comic caricatures that do not truly represent those communities. If this happens with your agency, it could prove damaging to relationships with vulnerable communities (such as Latinos, immigrants, low-income folks, and the mentally ill and homeless).”

“I also wanted to share,” Threet wrote, “that I have heard from several community members over the last few days who are concerned about the agency’s decision to appear on Cops. Their main concern is how this may affect the agency’s relationship with the Latino/immigrant community.”

Giordano thanked him for his note.

Emails obtained by the Bohemian give credence to the supposition that there was significant in-house enthusiasm within the SRPD for participation in Cops, even as city council members Julie Combs and Ernesto Olivares were against it, as the Bohemian reported last month.

CRESCENT CITY DOUBLETAKE From the right angle, Avenue D in Petaluma looks a lot like St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans.

Drive On SPOTLIGHT ON PETALUMA

Cruising, eating and dreaming in the city by the river BY TOM GOGOLA

T

hey say the key to a happy life is to always have something to look forward to—and whether I’m coming from or going to the Bohemian office, I always look forward to the part of my commute that takes me through the heart of Petaluma.

There are a few reasons for this, and they mostly have to do with classic cars, American Graffiti, New Orleans, cheeseburgers—and the fact that Petaluma pleasantly syncs with the vision of California I’d conjured in my mind’s eye before I moved here some five years ago.

Every year, Petaluma celebrates American Graffiti, the classic-cars

classic about rock ’n’ roll and car cruising, which takes places in 1962 and was partially filmed in Petaluma in the early 1970s by George Lucas. Of course, I didn’t know any of this until I moved to the North Bay. As a kid it was one of my favorite movies, and it’s the reason Del Shannon’s “Runaway” remains one of my all-time favorite tunes. This year, the Salute to American Graffiti takes place downtown on May 19 as part of the town’s three day Cruisin’ the Boulevard event.

Thanks to American Graffiti, whenever I’m in Petaluma, I’m looking for one of those characteristic cross-the-car connections with a fellow traveler, usually while I’m eating hamburgers out of the bag or headed for the bag

at the Walnut Grill (310 East D St.) or Five Guys (401 Kenilworth Drive), or, yes, Jack in the Freaking Box (Heaven Is a Place on Earth).

I recently pulled up to a red light in town with a juicy number from Five Guys in the bag. A young woman pulled up next to me, and she was cranking some vintage Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson’s characteristic voice rang out as I thrummed the drum part on my steering wheel and screamed at the woman, “The Maiden!” The woman looked over at me, gave a short “yup” and reached nervously for her handbag.

Another time, a couple of years ago, I was rolling down East Washington, and as I passed his car, I yelled “The Zep!” at a guy who was blasting “When the Levee Breaks.”

He pulled up to me with a hateful look as we waited for the light to turn. “What is your problem?” he yelled at me.

“I love the Zep!” I said.

“Oh, I thought you were cursing at me.”

“Rock on, brother!”

And just last week I pulled up to a light on East Washington and was stopped next to a young, bearded guy whose vehicle looked familiar, very familiar, to me—it was the same year, model and color of my old Grand Marquis, which I bought off a lot for cash in New Orleans in 2012. The young man answered all my questions about where he’d bought it and was quite friendly as I openly gawked at his ride.

The Grand Marquis was the first car I ever owned, and I bought it when I was in my mid-40s. I used to joke with people that while I did buy a gas-guzzler, my lifetime carbon footprint was so small at the time that I had some catching up to do. Then I wrecked the GM and bought a Honda, which gets great gas mileage.

But the Honda needs lots of TLC, which is why I love to cruise in to the Oilstop Drive Thru Oil Change (601 E. Washington Ave.) for a lube-up and cup of coffee from the guys while they grease up the vehicle and check the fluids.

Plus, there’s some good Chinese food behind the Oilstop at Kwei Bin (613 E. Washington St.), where

you’ll never joke that the egg rolls are so oily you’d swear they were marinated in used motor oil (the guys at Oilstop thought it was a funny joke, anyway).

I like to watch the traffic go by on a Saturday morning sitting in the Oilstop bay, and indulge this weird idea that I’ve been cultivating about Petaluma being reminiscent of New Orleans. Am I crazy?

Perhaps. So I got in touch with Tony Najiola, the Petaluma chef and owner of the Central Market (42 Petaluma Blvd). In talking with the New Orleans native, I felt obliged to run an observation up his flagpole to see what he thought, and here it is: Whenever I come into town from the south, I told Tony, the cruise down Avenue D for a few blocks feels exactly like St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans, which is also quite leafy and features mini-mansions and Spanish-tile roofs.

Unlike St. Charles Avenue, there’s no streetcar named desire running along with the cars on Avenue D, but there is an interesting spot along the road where cars for sale are lined up along the street like some sort of outlaw, open-air used car emporium, which in its own way is very New Orleans, since that’s pretty much where I bought the GM. And the Petaluma River has a couple big turns in it by Lakeville.

Is it a stretch to call it a Petaluma another Crescent City? And don’t let me forget to mention that there’s New Orleans–style barbecue at Faron’s, located to the northwest of downtown (4701 Bodega Ave.). That’s something to look forward to—happy days are here again!

Chef Tony assured me I wasn’t alone in the NOLA-Petaluma feeling. He completely agreed with me about Avenue D’s weird resemblance to St. Charles— and he went on to talk about how certain parts of Petaluma reminded him of growing up around New Orleans. Tony’s not a big fan of classic-car cruising, however. Check out “Local Knowledge” (p14) for the details, if not the detailing. For that, head to Touchless Car Wash (540 Lakeville St.).

Describe your perfect day in Petaluma.

It would start with a walk around Shollenberger Park because, well, I don’t exercise much and it’s flat. Also it reminds me of the wetlands of southern Louisiana, where I grew up. On the way home, I would drive by Green String or Live Oak farm to gather dinner provisions.

I live on my own farm, so dinner usually revolves around our meat or something I get from my good friend and neighbor Jim Reichardt of Liberty Farm.

What is your favorite place to eat in Petaluma that isn’t the Central Market, and why?

Recently, Sake 107 opened, and my good friend for many years Eiji Ando opened across the street from us. Eiji prides himself in doing a lot more than just slicing raw fish. I have never had better saba anywhere. On other days, I head to Soban, on the east side of Petaluma.

Daniel Kim and his wife opened a very traditional Korean restaurant.

The soft tofu-seafood soup has become a lunchtime favorite.

Where do you bring first-time visitors to Petaluma?

A walk through downtown including the antique shops, Thistle Meats, the seed bank, along with a short drive to Heritage Salvage.

My mother instilled in me a love for other people’s junk.

What do you know about Petaluma that others don’t?

Where the Theatre District is used to be a vacant car dealership. I’m still hoping they bring it back.

If you could change one thing about Petaluma, what would it be?

I wish that something could be done to improve the downtown street festivals. I would hope that the Butter & Eggs Days parade really did celebrate agriculture past and present instead of cheap beer, carnival food and fist fights. And don’t even get me started on Cruisin’ the Boulevard . . .

Artful Aromas More than vineyard views at GrapeSeed Wines

BY JAMES KNIGHT

B

reezing past the front desk guy at the Paul Mahder Gallery in Healdsburg, I breezily explain, “I’m headed for the wine!”

Toward the back of the capacious contemporary art gallery, I find GrapeSeed Wines co-founder Dave Trebilcock, who takes me on a tour of the joint. It’s one of those post-war double Quonset huts built in the 1940s that formerly housed a warren of antique dealerships. Now it’s the largest gallery of its kind north of Los Angeles, Trebilcock explains as we stroll museum-wide avenues between canvases both vast and bijou. “So, is there a Paul Mahder and all?” I ask.

Yes, he’s the guy I breezed past on the way in. Having run

several successful galleries in San Francisco, Mahder has the equanimous yet discerning air of one who curates in the proper sense—that is, he curates the work of 45 artists of world renown (three of them Sonoma County locals), not “curated experiences,” curated wine lists, grocery lists or whatever new abuse to this lately trendy term folks wish to subject it to next.

While in wine country, he explains, he thought it would be nice for visitors to enjoy wine while viewing the work (“I don’t mind it being taken as a museum,” says Mahder), but he’d have to get help with the hospitality angle.

Enter GrapeSeed. The biz works like this: originally a crowd-funded concept similar to Naked Wines— get it, seed money—it’s been walked back due to complications involved in funding wine, to something more like a wine club. The wines are only available direct.

Still, the business model helps winemakers like Jessica Boone, who mainly labors over vats of Zinfandel at her place of employment, to delve into Pinot with her Eighteen Miles brand, which is exclusive to GrapeSeed.

With its sinuous lick of smoky oak and cherry cola notes, Boone’s 2016 Pinot Noir ($55) is classic Russian River Valley.

A collaboration with Mahder, the Gallery Collection 2015 Russian River Valley Chardonnay ($39) features Klee-esque (if this rube may venture an artful guess) work by Wosene Worke Kosrof on the label, and there’s more to this initially toasty wine than meets the nose: a surprisingly lean, long-lingering, tangy savor of Meyer lemon. Although the appointment-only, seated tastings (available on the spot if you venture through the gallery’s side door to the tasting room area) look fancy, the basic entry fee is reasonable, so you might have some change left over for some of the merch—the mixed-media work Near the Golden Gate by Ernest Ely is available for $12,000.

OUGHTA BE IN PICTURES Michael Traina, right, has been bringing films and film education to Petaluma for a decade.

Join the Alliance Film Fest Petaluma marks 10 years of singular cinema in the city by the river BY CHARLIE SWANSON

T

here are many film festivals in Sonoma and Napa counties, but only one alliance, the Petaluma Film Alliance.

On May 5, the alliance, which curates such community events as the weekly Petaluma Cinema Series, returns to the Mystic Theatre in downtown Petaluma for its 10th annual Film Fest Petaluma.

Headed by Santa Rosa Junior College film professor and communication studies department chair Michael Traina, the Petaluma Film Alliance is a partnership between the SRJC and local businesses like Clover Sonoma and Copperfield’s Books as well as private members.

Traina’s life in film had previously taken him to Washington, D.C., where he worked on the American Film

Institute’s programming team, and to Antelope Valley College in Southern California, where he taught and ran a film festival for 13 years.

When Traina took a job teaching film at SRJC’s Petaluma campus in 2008, he brought with him the programs he was leading in Southern California.

“Petaluma did not have a film festival at that time, and the city seemed ripe for the opportunity,”

says Traina. After taking a leadership class through the Petaluma Chamber of Commerce, Traina formed the Petaluma Film Alliance.

Each fall and spring semester, the alliance hosts the Petaluma Cinema Series on Wednesday nights, showing classic and contemporary films in the Carole L. Ellis Auditorium, accompanied by pre-screening lectures and postscreening discussions.

The alliance also runs the Youth in Film program to provide workshops and internships for filmmaking students. That program culminates in the Sonoma County Student Film Festival.

The alliance’s largest community offering is undoubtedly the annual Film Fest Petaluma. “The focus of the festival is the short film form,” Traina says. “I think shorts are a unique sort of treat, and something that many regions of the country are starved to see.

When you see short films, it takes you on a ride through comedy and drama, and different storytelling styles. There’s a little something for everyone.”

Traina also puts an emphasis on inviting filmmakers to the event, and he expects 17 directors, actors and producers of the 33 selected films to take the stage and discuss their works.

“It’s a very intensive and creatively inspiring experience that gives you a taste of the world, and of where the cinema art form is at right now, he says.”

Film Fest Petaluma takes place on Saturday, May 5, at Mystic Theatre & Music Hall, noon to 10:30pm. $10–$35. Get info on the fest and the weekly cinema series at petalumafilmalliance.org.

t’s been 35 years since La Cage aux Folles took Broadway by storm. What began in 1973 as a French stage farce followed by a series of films, the Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman musical was considered daring for its time with its portrayal of a happily domesticated male couple thrown for a loop by a request from their son.

With marriage equality the law of the land and RuPaul’s Drag Race a crossover hit, La Cage seems less daring today, but its message of self-acceptance still packs a punch. The musical is running at 6th Street Playhouse’s G.K. Hardt Theatre through May 20.

Georges (Anthony Martinez) is the proprietor of La Cage aux Folles, a French Riviera nightclub that features drag entertainment.

The headliner is “Zaza” (Michael Conte)—actually Albin—Georges’ partner of 20 years. Together they raised a son, Jean-Michel, who’s come home to announce his engagement and his desire for his fiancée’s parents to meet with his biological parents. Albin is not to be included, as Jean-Michel’s soon-to-be father-in-law happens to be the leader of the right-wing Tradition, Family and Morality Party. It’s going to be quite a gathering.

Herman’s Tony Award–winning score runs from the romantic (“Song on the Sand”) to the comedic (“Masculinity”) to the joyous (“The Best of Times”), and hits its apex with “I Am What I Am,” a defiant ode to individuality.

There are two terrific lead performances in this Russell Kaltschmidt–directed production, both delivered by Michael Conte.

As bombastic as he is as divadeluxe Zaza, he’s even better as Albin. Conte brings real emotional depth to his character as he deals with his son’s rejection. It’s a depth that’s lacking from Martinez’s rather bland Georges.

Nice comedic support is provided by Joseph Favalora as their butler/maid, Jacob, and Michael Fontaine as the stuffedshirt politician. His 12-syllable delivery of a five-syllable word had me laughing out loud. Lorenzo Alviso also does well as the thoughtless son who soon sees the error of his ways.

The design budget must have gone almost entirely to the costumes, as there’s almost no set to speak of, but Zaza and the other dancers’ couture almost makes up for it.

Social progress may have dimmed some of the audaciousness of La Cage aux Folles, but it still has plenty of heart.

Rating (out of 5): ‘La Cage aux Folles’ runs Friday– Sunday through May 20 at 6th Street Playhouse, 52 W. Sixth St., Santa Rosa.

Friday–Saturday, 7:30pm; Saturday– Sunday, 2pm.; Thursday, May 3, 7:30pm. 707.523.4185.

HELL YEAH Danny Click says his

new album got sidetracked for two years because of touring.

Heavenly Sounds Danny Click leads string quartet on new album

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

S

ince moving to the North Bay from Austin, Texas, over a decade ago, guitarist and songwriter Danny Click has made a name in the local scene with his outfit, Danny Click & the Hell Yeahs! delivering a sizzling countrified Americana that’s garnered them accolades in the Bay Area and beyond.

“People must like what we’re doing,” says Click. “It’s nice to have people come to shows.” A while back, he says, someone likened their shows to going to church, “so I started calling it the electric church.”

This month, Click unplugs and shows off a different side of his music when he unveils a

new live album, Dannny Click & the Americana Orchestra: Live at 142, featuring a string quartet backing his band in an all-acoustic recording.

“I always wanted to play with a string quartet,” Click says. “I wanted to do something different than what we usually do.”

The album was recorded nearly four years ago at Mill Valley’s Throckmorton Theatre, though the project took a backseat when Click had the opportunity to work with legendary producer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, Wilco) to record a studio album.

“We said, ‘Stop the presses! We got the call from Jim and we have to go do this,’” says Click.

That recording became Holding Up the Sun, released in 2015 to universal acclaim. Click spent the next two years touring and playing in support of the album, almost forgetting about his Americana Orchestra until recently.

After finishing the mixing and mastering process last year, Click is ready to share the new live album when he performs a recordrelease show on May 4, back where it all began at Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley.

On the new album’s 10 live tracks and one bonus studio track, Click reworks some of his most popular tunes, like the Southern rocker “We Are the People” and the soulful “Life Is a Good Place.”

He also adapts classics like Bob Dylan’s “Girl from the North Country” and Tom Petty’s “You and I Will Meet Again.”

Live at 142 has plenty of lush, beautifully melodic moments of music that may surprise Click’s fans. Even Click admits he got chills while playing with the string quartet.

“Having those intimate strings right there in my ear while I sang these songs almost choked me up,” he says. “It was kind of like being in heaven for a little bit.”

Danny Click & the Americana Orchestra perform with opener Mark Goldenberg on Friday, May 4, at the Throckmorton Theatre, 142 Throckmorton Ave., Mill Valley.

8pm. $30–$35. 415.383.9600.

BY ROB BREZSNY

ARIES (March 21–April 19) I hate rampant consumerism almost as much as I hate hatred, so I don’t offer the following advice lightly: Buy an experience that could help liberate you from the suffering you’ve had trouble outgrowing. Or buy a toy that can thaw the frozen joy that’s trapped within your out-of-date sadness. Or buy a connection that might inspire you to express a desire you need help in expressing. Or buy an influence that will motivate you to shed a belief or theory that has been cramping your lust for life. Or all of the above! (And if buying these things isn’t possible, consider renting.)

Kooning. “Cézanne did it. Picasso did it with cubism.

Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all to hell.” In de Kooning’s view, these “destructive” artists performed a noble service. They demolished entrenched ideas about the nature of painting, thus liberating their colleagues and descendants from stale constraints. Judging from the current astrological omens, Libra, I surmise the near future will be a good time for you to wreak creative destruction in your own field or sphere. What progress and breakthroughs might be possible when you dismantle comfortable limitations?

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) These days you

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) I bet that a healing influence will arrive from an unexpected direction and begin to work its subtle but intense magic before anyone realizes what’s happening. I predict that the bridge you’re building will lead to a place that’s less flashy but more useful than you imagined. And I’m guessing that although you may initially feel jumbled by unforeseen outcomes, those outcomes will ultimately be redemptive. Hooray for lucky flukes and weird switcheroos!

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

have an enhanced ability to arouse the appreciation and generosity of your allies, friends and loved ones.

The magnetic influence you’re emanating could even start to evoke the interest and inquiries of mere acquaintances and random strangers. Be discerning about how you wield that potent stuff! On the other hand, don’t be shy about using it to attract all the benefits it can bring you. It’s OK to be a bit greedier for goodies than usual as long as you’re also a bit more compassionate than usual.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Born under the astrological sign of Cancer, Franz Kafka is regarded as one of the 20th century’s major literary talents.

Alas, he made little money from his writing. Among the day jobs he did to earn a living were stints as a bureaucrat at insurance companies. His superiors there praised his efforts. “Superb administrative talent,” they said about him. Let’s use this as a take-off point to meditate on your destiny, Cancerian. Are you good at skills you’re not passionate about? Are you admired and acknowledged for having qualities that aren’t of central importance to you? If so, the coming weeks and months will be a favorable time to explore this apparent discrepancy. I believe you will have the power to get closer to doing more of what you love to do.

For the week of May 2

LEO (July 23–August 22) If you really wanted to, you could probably break the world’s record for most words typed per minute with the nose (103 characters in 47 seconds). I bet you could also shatter a host of other marks, as well, like eating the most hot chiles in two minutes, or weaving the biggest garland using defunct iPhones, or dancing the longest on a tabletop while listening to a continuous loop of Nirvana’s song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But I hope you won’t waste your soaring capacity for excellence on meaningless stunts like those. I’d rather see you break your own personal records for accomplishments like effective communications, high-quality community-building, and smart career moves.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Isaac Newton (1643–1727) was among history’s three most influential scientists. Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) has been described as the central figure in modern philosophy.

Henry James (1843–1916) is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature. John Ruskin (1819–1900) was a prominent art critic and social thinker. What did these four men have in common?

They never had sex with anyone. They were virgins when they died. I view this fact with alarm. What does it mean that Western culture is so influenced by the ideas of men who lacked this fundamental initiation?

With that as our context, I make this assertion: If you hope to make good decisions in the coming weeks, you must draw on the wisdom you have gained from being sexually entwined with other humans.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) “Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting,” said 20thcentury abstract expressionist painter Willem de

Mayflies are aquatic insects with short life spans. Many species live less than 24 hours, even though the eggs they lay may take three years to hatch. I suspect this may be somewhat of an apt metaphor for your future, Scorpio.

A transitory or short-duration experience could leave a legacy that will ripen for a long time before it hatches.

But that’s where the metaphor breaks down. When your legacy has fully ripened—when it becomes available as a living presence—I bet it will last a long time.

When a critic at Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the Beatles’ Abbey Road in 1969, he said some of the songs were “so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to.” He added, “Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this.”

Years later, however, Rolling Stone altered its opinion, naming Abbey Road the 14th best album of all time. I suspect, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase with metaphorical resemblances to the earlier assessment.

But I’m reasonably sure that this will ultimately evolve into being more like the later valuation—and it won’t take years.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) According to my analysis of the astrological omens, love should be in full bloom. You should be awash in worthy influences that animate your beautiful passion.

So how about it? Are you swooning and twirling and uncoiling? Are you overflowing with a lush longing to celebrate the miracle of being alive? If your answer is yes, congratulations. May your natural intoxication levels continue to rise. But if my description doesn’t match your current experience, you may be out of sync with cosmic rhythms. And if that’s the case, please take emergency measures. Escape to a sanctuary where you can shed your worries and inhibitions and maybe even your clothes. Get drunk on undulating music as you dance yourself into a dreamy love revelry.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) “Life never gives you anything that’s all bad or all good.”

So proclaimed the smartest Aquarian six-year-old girl I know as we kicked a big orange ball around a playground. I agreed with her! “Twenty years from now,” I told her, “I’m going to remind you that you told me this heartful truth.” I didn’t tell her the corollary that I’d add to her axiom, but I’ll share it with you: If anything or anyone or seems to be all bad or all good, you’re probably not seeing the big picture. There are exceptions, however! For example, I bet you will soon experience or are already experiencing a graceful stroke of fate that’s very close to being all good.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

“Enodation” is an old, nearly obsolete English word that refers to the act of untying a knot or solving a knotty problem.

“Enodous” means “free of knots.” Let’s make these your celebratory words of power for the month of May, Pisces. Speak them out loud every now and then.

Invoke them as holy chants and potent prayers leading you to discover the precise magic that will untangle the kinks and snarls you most need to untangle.
