Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Bad ‘Cops’ Still no signs of anything approaching enlightenment or intelligent life in law enforcement in the fascist USA. The militarism, arrogance and injustice of the “justice” system marches on unabated, amid the ignorance and apathy of the masses who will suffer their fates at the hands of the gladiators still clinging to their delusions of freedom and democracy. This U.S. culture is stunningly dumb and blind. Cops is for totalitarian apologists and thugs. Cops does not

serve and protect. Cops is bad for people and other living beings. Cops is yet another symptom of the deterioration of sensibility and compassion in a nation of violence and hate.

what has become Measure C.There is a lot of noise out there right now as people take sides and disseminate various arguments regarding development of the Napa Valley. There are those who believe that the future of the valley depends upon more growth, and others who wish to limit growth.

In 1968, when the Agriculture Preserve was originally created, many people voted against their own economic selfinterest to protect the land and limit its exploitation. We are facing another such decision, and as a vintner and longtime

By Tom Tomorrow

resident, I am deeply concerned that a no vote on Measure C will erode decades of important protection.

Measure C will not stop agriculture and, in fact, only pertains to certain specific areas in the agricultural watershed.

Currently, there are thousands of acres that could be developed, as well as thousands more that are already entitled to development. I’m concerned that inaccurate information is being circulated as both sides of the argument fight for a win.

I urge you to carefully read Measure C and try to disregard the slanted and misleading arguments. After understanding exactly what the measure will and will not do, I hope that you will also vote yes.

As a former post commander for the Los Angeles Police Department, I understand the imperative for our officers to feel appreciated and supported. Recognizing those who risk their lives to keep us safe is not just important, it’s essential. But it seems to me that inviting the nation to experience our community through such a negative lens, particularly at this time, profoundly misses every mark.

It’s also unfathomable that the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office would choose Erick Gelhaus to be the liaison for this particular project. Gelhaus is the same deputy who, in 2013, shot young Andy Lopez seven times—killing him less than 17 seconds after the officers had arrived on the scene. How could anyone have thought that Gelhaus was an appropriate emissary? How could this decision be seen as anything other than blatant disregard for our community and a slap in the face to the Lopez family? The whole process demonstrates a shocking level of insensitivity, and highlights the profound separation between the sheriff’s office leadership and our community.

I can’t imagine any community that would want to be nationally portrayed in a damaging way, but especially ours, which is still very much in a place of recovery and healing following multiple tragedies. Seeking recognition for our law enforcement, at the expense of our communities, seems extremely tone-deaf, insensitive and out-of-touch.

Not one part of this project serves the interests of our communities.

I emphatically urge both departments to revisit their decisions.

Participation with ‘Cops’ does not serve community interests BY JOHN MUTZ s reported in both the Bohemian (March 18 and May 2) and SFGate (March 20), the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with the Santa Rosa Police Department, has contracted with the nationally televised show Cops and invited a production crew to “ride along” with both agencies. This project has moved forward despite feedback to the sheriff’s office from community leaders who felt this would further damage the shattered trust between the sheriff’s office and the community.

hollandaise sauce; panicked waiters; and the sickly sweet smell of maple syrup that seems to haunt your olfactory lobes for hours after you’d left the restaurant.

Mother’s Day brunch was also a time for dark existential questions. Is this the best I can do with a graduate degree?

Where did I go wrong? Why quit drinking now?

Brunch is also an opportunity for restaurants to sling out hundreds of plates of overpriced food that you could have made yourself for a fraction of the cost in a sliver of the time you spent waiting for your $18 eggs Benedict and fruit cup.

This is not what mothers deserve.

You love your mother, don’t you?

Of course you do. So here’s a better idea. Make breakfast for her instead. How about French toast and homemade sausage?

I speak, of course, of the national delusion called Mother’s Day brunch.

BY STETT HOLBROOK

Brunch on any day of the week is a sign of our moral decay. It’s for people so lazy or ambivalent that they can’t decide whether they want to eat breakfast or lunch. In their sloth, they shuffle out the door, too inept to cook for themselves, and stand around wasting more of the day to eat overpriced eggs and toast. By the time it’s over, it’s mid-afternoon and the prime hours of your precious weekend are over—and you’re $40 poorer for it.

Commit! Seize the day! Choose breakfast or lunch, run with it and

get on with your life while you still can.

There’s another side to brunch diners don’t see. It’s the view from the kitchen. I was once a cook in an upscale San Francisco restaurant. As Mother’s Day drew near, a special kind of dread spread across the kitchen. Mother’s Day brunch was an interminable amateur hour filled with inane special requests like egg-white omelettes (we called them “beached whales” because they resembled dead sea mammal carcasses); gallons of oozing, mucilaginous

Small Is Big Garagiste Wine Festival brings the revolution to Sonoma

BY JAMES KNIGHT

W

hy pay $40 to $50 a bottle for a wine nobody’s heard of?

Douglas Minnick, maker of several such wines under the name Hoi Polloi and cofounder of the Garagiste Festival, acknowledges that the wine named for the masses isn’t sold at supermarket prices. Matter of fact, he says their tongue-in-cheek T-shirt bears the slogan, “Wine for the common man at premium prices.”

The wines poured at the popular wine festival, which comes north to Sonoma for the first time May 12, may not be cheap, but they’re not cheaply made, either. “If you’re making wine in 10,000 gallon tanks,” says Minnick, economy of scale is on your side. “But you’re

going to make the wine in a different way.” The wines at Garagiste—the festival is limited to producers making less than 1,500 cases per year—are handmade by comparison. “It’s almost an entirely different product.” They’re also harder to find. “These are wines that are not on the wine country maps,” says Minnick.

Some more facts about Garagiste, paired with a selection of wines, all of them less than $40: Lightning Wines 2016 CdP Blanc ($24) While winemaker Randy Hester can boast of working for some of the big names in Napa Cab, he chooses to make a blend of Grenache Blanc, Piquepoul, Marsanne and Roussanne on his own time. Not only an unusual find in Napa, this subtle, fleshy, white Rhone-style blend is harder to find hereabouts than in Fayetteville, Ark., according to Lightning’s restaurant list.

Two Shepherds 2015 Bechthold Vineyard Lodi Cinsault ($32) Outlier among outliers, Two Shepherds is one of only about 10 percent of the wineries at the May 12 event that has a tasting room of its own (in Windsor’s Artisan Alley). Cinsault is itself an outlier, and it’s a wonder that this vineyard survived 130 years in production-oriented Lodi. Similar to but more successful than many a California Grenache, this crisp, red cherry quaffer is the ideal kind of “bistro” wine—uncomplicated, but quality.

Halcón Vineyards Tierra Yorkville Highlands Petite Sirah ($32) I’m not sure what the story is on this winery, but that’s the point of Garagiste: tickets are not oversold, so you don’t have to wade through the elbow forest to talk to the winemakers themselves.

This Petite Sirah, a popular companion planting to Zinfandel down in the Ukiah area, comes from a higher-elevation vineyard.

There’s an herbal element of green peppercorns to this dense, plum sauce and chocolate fest.

Get the rest of the story from these wineries at the VIP tasting and seminar ($115). The Garagiste Wine Festival, Saturday, May 12. Sonoma Veterans Memorial Hall, 126 First St. W., Sonoma. Grand tasting, 2–5pm ($65); early access, 1–5pm ($85). californiagaragistes.com.

Elephant in the Room California GOP grapples with irrelevancy and a top-polling neo-Nazi challenger to Dianne Feinstein BY TOM GOGOLA

I

t’s been a couple of wild weeks for the California State Republican Party now that it’s been revealed that one of the highest polling Republicans in the state is a neo-Nazi who denies the Holocaust happened.

The party has been dealing with fallout from a recent statewide poll, which revealed that self-described “counterSemite” Patrick Little was leading all challengers, Democrat and Republican, in the race for

Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat.

Feinstein is Jewish.

The state GOP’s Little headache piled on to a set of grim statistics that keep mounting for a party whose support is cratering in the state since Donald Trump’s election as President. Only about 25 percent of registered voters in the state are Republicans, and the last time the party took a statewide race was in 2006, when immigrant Arnold Schwarzenegger took the governor’s race. This year, immigration hard-liners in the southern part of the state have

rallied around their antipathy for the state’s sanctuary law, while more moderate Republicans helplessly fret over Latinos’ wholesale abandonment of Republicanism in the Trump era.

Enter Patrick Little. He tried to attend the state GOP spring convention in San Diego over the weekend. It didn’t go well, he said in a brief interview. Little was booted from the event when he attempted to register at the VIP table, despite his declaration to organizers, he notes, that he’s the top-polling Republican in the state. As a parting shot, he

stomped on an Israeli flag as he departed the convention.

Little has taken a square aim at the powerful lobbying organization American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in his campaign. The organization did not respond to requests for comment.

In scanning leading state newspapers in the lead-up to the convention last weekend, a consensus view emerged in the various editorials and analyses which indicated that among California’s political and media class, ignoring Little ) 12

GOP ( 11 seems to be the best strategy to make him go away. News stories about the convention barely mentioned Little, if they mentioned him at all, and focused on the party’s challenging work ahead in a state whose Democratic supermajority has dug in as the loyal opposition in the aftermath of Trump’s minority-vote victory in 2016.

The state GOP has tried to gain traction with California voters this year with its initiative to repeal a new state gas tax—but it’s really hard to ignore the fact that the same party is fielding a candidate for U.S. Senate who doesn’t believe there were gas chambers at Auschwitz. Can Little be so easily dismissed? It’s a hard row to hoe for the GOP. The party wants voters to believe that Gov. Jerry Brown has bankrupted the state, even as last week California leapt over Great Britain to become the world’s fifth largest economy. hen the poll broke that showed Little’s surprising surge, national political outlets such as right-leaning The Hill were replete with stories from state GOP leaders of the “we’ve never heard of this horrible person before” variety.

The Bohemian made numerous attempts to contact the state Republican Party to discuss the Little phenomenon, to no avail.

They clearly want him to go away.

The takeaway from state party leaders is that they are aghast that an unapologetic anti-Semite could lay claim to the mantle of the state GOP’s messaging with his 18 percent showing in the polls.

Yet this is the same state GOP which supported a candidate for president in 2016 who refused to disavow an endorsement from American Nazi David Duke; who said there are “good people” among violent white supremacists; and whose “America First” platform is a throwback to anti-Semitic American isolationism prior to WWII, though wrapped in a

W

proverbial “dog whistle”—coded language that appeals to a specific constituency while not rattling the mainstream.

There’s no dog-whistling in Little’s campaign, where he calls for the deportation of Jews, among other “counter-Semitic” policy proposals.

Meanwhile, the AntiDefamation League recently reported that incidences of antiSemitic violence have spiked since Trump’s election, including in California. The organization conducted a workshop on combating anti-Semitism recently in Silicon Valley.

Trump visited the state in March. At that time, Kurt Bardella (a Republican messaging strategist and former staffer to retiring California Congressman Darrell Issa) wrote on CNN’s opinion page online that “the reality is Trump’s brand of xenophobia is toxic to what little is left of the Republican Party in California. . . . Instead of evolving with the changing demographics, Republicans in California have continued to embrace the fringe policies and rhetoric of the most extreme edges of the GOP.” Bardella did not respond to requests for an interview for this story.

In the end, the state Republican Party did not endorse anyone at its weekend convention to run against Feinstein, who is both a deeply unpopular and unmovable force in California Democratic politics. Her would-be challenger from the left, State Sen. Kevin de León, crawled in at a meager 8 percent support in that same poll which found Little at 18 percent. The growing irrelevancy of the Golden State Republicans appears to have provided political space for a candidate such as Little to emerge, especially given that the fix is in on Feinstein’s reelection. The party hasn’t pushed out a favored candidate in what’s sure to be a losing race for her seat, and has struggled to find candidates to run at all this year.

The big promised news going into the state GOP convention

13 His campaign slogan is: “Liberate the U.S. from the Jewish Oligarchy.”

UC Berkeley has come under intense fire from the so-called alt-right for its security concerns, and cancellations of appearances by such hard-right Trump supporters Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter. Those episodes have called the university’s vigorous and historic embrace of free speech into question among critics on the right.

Has the university now become a free-speech zone for antiSemitic students who support the likes of Little and are using university housing to promote his campaign?

Gilmore sent along information about who may qualify to live in the University Village complex: full-time graduate or undergraduate university students, and their families.

The university does have rules for its tenants, but does not restrict free speech or political activities.

“University Village’s residential code of conduct prohibits use of the property for any for-profit activity,” says Gilmore in an email follow-up, “unless as part of a campus Residential and Student Service Programs–sponsored event. It does not prohibit a resident from engaging in political activity that any resident might choose to engage in from their own home. And, we are not aware of any University Village resident engaged in activity inconsistent with residential use.”

Newsweek dug into a poll commissioned by KPIX 5SurveyUSA that found Little second behind Feinstein and reported on Little’s praise for Adolf Hitler and his call for Jews to be deported from the United States. KPIX, the San Francisco CBS affiliate, blew right past the part of the poll which identified Little’s surprise showing and instead gushed about how the poll indicated that voters were ramped up for an exciting campaign season.

While neither KPIX or Newsweek made mention of it, the poll also showed he was running

with 30 percent support from California’s Asian-American population, which clearly contributed to his overall 18 percent support among those who were polled. Feinstein polled with 39 percent support among AsianAmericans.

Little noted his support as he praised their intelligence in a Yahoo interview that ran last week as he engaged in a post-Newsweek round of online self-promotion of his views about the so-called Zionist Occupation Government.

In his online postings, the ZOGophobe Little says he attended the tiki-lit white-power demonstration in Charlottesville last summer, where a young woman was murdered by a white supremacist who crashed his car into a crowd of protesters. If the polling numbers hold and are reflected in the primary vote on June 5, Little would face Feinstein in the general election in November.

The next leading Republican candidate running against Feinstein is Rocky De La Fuente, a San Diego businessman and founder of the Delta Party who is also running for Rick Scott’s Senate seat this year in Florida. Fuente ran for president as a Democrat and says he’ll run again in 2020 in the Democratic primary.

Little also beat out Erin Cruz in the KPIX poll, a candidate who might charitably be said to occupy the “mainstream” Trump position in this race. Cruz has adopted the #Americafirst hashtag as her own and riffs off the reality-show president’s slogan when she says her aim is to Make California Golden Again. Her campaign materials indicate that she plans to do this by deporting undocumented immigrants. Cruz did not follow through on an interview scheduled by her staff for Monday. ate last week, I contacted Little at the email address he posts on his campaign website and he responded with an offer to do a live-stream interview.

That’s not an option, I responded, but let’s talk. I sent him several questions about his campaign and asked if he could provide some further context about his support among Asian-Americans.

Late Friday night, Little sent a series of quick emails from the road, saying he was headed to San Diego and the GOP convention, from whence he would be booted.

Early this week, he called to set up an interview for a future date, he said, given that he ) 14 had lots of other media

was over whether the party would endorse John Cox or Travis Allen in the governor’s race. It ended up endorsing neither man.

Into this political vacuum enters Patrick Little.

So who is he? The former Marine has filed campaign certification paperwork with the California Secretary of State that lists his address as an apartment located in a student housing complex owned by UC Berkeley.

But he’s not a student there and has never been. Little confirms this in a phone interview and says, “That’s my campaign address.”

The address under file with the Secretary of State is in the city of Albany, which is just north of Berkeley and where the university owns a sprawling apartment complex with various amenities, called University Village.

The Bohemian is not printing the address given that, according to UC Berkeley, the person at the address has every right under university policy to allow Little to use the location as his campaign address.

But it does raise a question about Little’s connection to the university, the site of numerous protests and tense stand-offs between Trump supporters and anti-fascist activists over the past couple of years.

A university spokesperson says no person named Patrick Little is currently enrolled at Berkeley, nor has anyone ever been enrolled at the university who has that name. The spokesperson could not identify the person who lives at the Berkeley-owned apartment associated with Little’s campaign.

“We didn’t find any name matching that name either now or in the past,” says spokeswoman Janet Gilmore, who added, “I can’t talk about who may or may not live there because of state privacy laws.”

Little’s Twitter account says that he lives in Albany. He reported online that he was thrown off the social media site on April 29 over his denial of the Holocaust, and wrote that “Hitler saved more [J]ewish lives than any man in history.”

requests to sift through.

I asked him about his support among Asians, and about the Berkeley student housing address, and inquired after who lives there. “I think you could take a few good guesses,” he responded. “I think you can put two and two together.”

Albany Assistant City Manager Isabelle Leduc declined to comment on the specter of a Holocaust-denying anti-Semite in their midst. “We really don’t know where that person lives,” she says.

It’s not known what Little’s actual connection to the Berkeley address is, beyond that he listed it on a state form as his address and confirms that it’s where his campaign is located. There’s nothing illegal about that. A spokesman at the Federal Election Commission says that candidates for higher office don’t have to reveal their home addresses, and only need to provide a mailing address to the FEC. “The FEC has no jurisdiction over any residency requirements (i.e., a candidate running from a particular state or congressional district within a state),” says Myles Martin, public affairs specialist at the commission. “The Statement of Candidacy that a candidate files with the [FEC] requires that a candidate provide a ‘mailing address,’ but this need not be their actual residence address.”

Little has not filed a Statement of Candidacy, or any other disclosure reports with the FEC, says Martin. He may not need to.

The FEC only requires financial disclosures from candidates who have eclipsed a $5,000 threshold in contributions, or expenditures related to the campaign.

The FEC has assigned a candidate identification number to him, says Martin, which it may do if a candidate “is qualified for the ballot in a state but has not filed a Statement of Candidacy with the FEC.” Little told the Yahoo interviewer that he’s cautioned supporters to not contribute any money to his campaign, given that those

contributions, and who made them, could ultimately be subject to public scrutiny. He also noted that he’s gotten some volunteers to help out with the campaign.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has been tracking Little’s campaign, and in 2014 released a report on anti-Semitism around the world, which, surprisingly, found that there’s quite a bit of anti-Semitic sentiment among various Asian populations.

For example, the survey found that some 53 percent of South Koreans answered “probably true” to a majority of anti-Semitic stereotypes, says the ADL’s Joanna Mendelson, the league’s senior investigative researcher and director of special projects.

“If you look at the Asians supporting Little, there is no specific indication that he will be the knight in shining armor to the Asian community,” she says. “The optimist in me just hopes that individuals are just not totally educated on the divisive nature of his platform, and that they become educated.”

She says of Little, “He is not nuanced in his anti-Semitism, and outright condemns any ‘dog whistle’ references [to Jews] in favor of his hate.”

The Maine native’s blatant anti-Semitism is on display on his campaign platform. Among other promises, he says he’ll “introduce a bill to the U.S. Senate making it illegal to raise funds for any foundation related to the perpetuating of propaganda related to a ‘holocaust,’ formally making US’s stance on the holocaust to be that it is a Jewish war atrocity propaganda hoax that never happened.”

He also calls for Twitter, Google and Facebook to be nationalized.

Little’s least controversial campaign pledge is his plan to crash asteroids into the Mars atmosphere to make it more amenable to future humans who may travel there.

That’s how far out things have become for the California Republican Party.

Arts Ideas THINGS FALL APART Occidental native Daniel Ziblatt, right, and Steven Levitsky compare the authoritarian drift of the United States under Trump with failed democracies around the world in their new book.

Timely Lessons Daniel Ziblatt takes a page from history in ‘How Democracies Die’ BY CHARLIE SWANSON

I

f the old saying is true, then those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Occidental native and Harvard professor of government Daniel Ziblatt knows his history, and he has made a career of studying political systems around the world. He is an expert in how political democracies form and how they fail, and offers a stark

history lesson in his bestselling book How Democracies Die, coauthored with fellow Harvard professor Steven Levitsky.

Ziblatt returns to his hometown May 18 to give a reading and talk about his book at the Occidental Center for the Arts.

Ziblatt began examining politics while attending a German boarding school as part of a high school exchange program in 1990. “This was the year of

German unification,” Ziblatt says.

“That was an exciting year to be in Germany, after the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

In college, Ziblatt studied German history, literature and European politics. As a professor at Harvard, Ziblatt specializes in those subjects with an emphasis on democratization and state building. He has authored two books on the topic, 2006’s Structuring the State and 2017’s

Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy.

While Ziblatt was examining Europe, How Democracies Die co-author Levitsky studied Latin American politics. The two have previously co-instructed classes on democratic crises around the world, though never on the U.S. “During the primary season of the [2016 presidential] election, we started talking about U.S. politics and how we were seeing echoes of things we had studied in other countries,” Ziblatt says.

Candidate Donald Trump threatened to lock up his rival, called the press the enemy of the people and accused the government of rigging elections. “[Democracies] don’t die the way they used to,” says Ziblatt.

“They used to die through military coups, men with guns.”

Since the collapse of communism in the 20th century, Ziblatt says that democracies have begun to die at the ballot box, with presidents and prime ministers being elected to office and then dismantling democracy from within.

“We started to realize there were some useful lessons to be learned,” says Ziblatt. “Just having elections is no guarantee of democracy.”

For those discouraged by the polarized political atmosphere, Ziblatt and Levitsky offer steps that both Republicans and Democrats can take to save our democracy.

“As much as we disagree with or are frightened by our political opponent, it’s important to continue to abide by and act in a way that reinforces democratic norms,” Ziblatt says.

Daniel Ziblatt reads from ‘How Democracies Die’ on Friday, May 18, at the Occidental Center for the Arts, 3850 Doris Murphy Court. 7pm. $5.

Young at Heart ‘Peter Pan’ soars in Spreckels production

eter Pan has been seen onstage in one form or another for well over a hundred years.

Stage

the Spreckels Performing Arts Center through May 20.

Peter Pan (a winsome Sarah Wintermeyer) has lost his shadow while eavesdropping on story time at the Darling household.

While retrieving it late one night, he awakens eldest child Wendy Darling (Lucy London), and after a quick flight demonstration, Peter convinces Wendy and her brothers to join him in Neverland.

They’ll soon cross paths with some warriors and the dastardly Captain Hook (David Yen) and his scurvy pirate crew.

Director Sheri Lee Miller and her team get almost everything right here, from casting to costumes and sets, from choreography to musical direction. Yen must be on a low-fiber diet, as he doesn’t really chew up the scenery as much as one would expect with such a role. Still terrifically entertaining, his decision to go small with some things puts the bits in danger of being lost on the large Spreckels stage.

Nice supporting work is done

by Craig Bainbridge as Hook’s right-hand man, Smee, Morgan Harrington as Mrs. Darling and the entire cast as Wendy’s siblings, various warriors, pirates and Lost Boys. Honorable mention goes to the backstage “flight crew” and to Andy Templeton who spends the show costumed as either Nana the dog or a tick-tocking crocodile, but manages to get some of the biggest audience reactions.

Miller handles the problematic parts of Barrie’s script—its depiction of Native Americans— by transmogrifying them from an “Indian” tribe to nonspecific “warriors” and costuming them in a patchwork of styles and designs.

It helps, but some dialogue (“Let’s smoke a peace pipe!”) and lyrics are still a bit cringe-worthy.

Nevertheless, Peter Pan makes for a great evening of family entertainment.

here used to be a class of filmmakers known as “women’s directors,” a phrase that sounds like a putdown.

Chile’s Sebastián Lelio (Gloria, A Fantastic Woman) exemplifies the best talents of a women’s director: the empathy, the ability to dramatize without soaking in cheap emotion and the expert use of the close-up shot. Lelio’s star in his new film, Disobedience, is Rachel Weisz. In earlier years, Weisz was choked a bit by her beauty—she was nervous, slightly self-apologetic. As she’s matured, she’s improved.

It’s as if she’s finally gotten used to being in her own skin.

Disobedience is one of Weisz’s best movies. It’s a love story set against a gray-brown North London. Weisz’s Ronnie Krushka, born Ronit, is the daughter of an esteemed Orthodox rabbi. She turned her back on her heritage and became a photographer in New York. Her first scene tells us everything about how she’s transgressed: she’s doing a portrait of a man covered with tattoos, specifically forbidden by Leviticus.

When Ronnie’s father dies, she returns for the funeral and to find out about her inheritance. We can tell what the congregation thinks of Ronnie; she’s such a black sheep, they practically baa in her face.

The woman she once loved, Esti Kuperman (Rachel McAdams), has since dutifully married. Esti’s husband, Dovid (Alessandro Nivola, sort of a more discreet version of Joaquin Phoenix), had once been Ronnie’s intended.

Lelio balances the erotic tensions and the fear between the two women. He builds to a remarkable love scene that neither strips the actresses bare nor looks too vanilla-frosted. The problem is that there’s no way to resolve this affair to the satisfaction of either romantics or realists, so the ending frays into a series of tentative scenes that make it look like Lelio wanted it both ways.

In this romance between a weak person who submitted to a loveless marriage, and a strong person who walked away, McAdams isn’t as fascinating as Weisz. But Disobedience is quality all around.

‘Disobedience’ opens Friday at Summerfield Cinemas, 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.525.8909.

LOUD AND PROUD Vocal Alchemy

Music for All

New fest celebrates our differences

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

S

anta Rosa’s Arlene Francis Center has seen all manner of music festivals in its time, though nothing quite like the Inclusion Festival, which debuts May 12.

The event is the brainchild of special-needs educator Emily Parker, a Sonoma County native currently working at a private preschool with a model of “full inclusion.” Rather than placing students with disabilities in separate classrooms, the practice of inclusion integrates those students into a regular class setting.

“Full inclusion is a great model for everybody to show their strengths and participate in all aspects of education and community life,” Parker says.

Beyond the classroom, Parker

is also interested in designing networks of resources for individuals with special needs, and says the idea of inclusion can and should spread to community events as well. “We have a diverse ‘neurotypical’ community,” she says. “People who need different things to feel comfortable at a concert, for example.”

After learning about a music festival in Europe that catered to individuals with special needs, Parker was inspired to create the Inclusion Festival to give the local community a day of creative fun with all the necessary sensory accommodations.

The Inclusion Festival will offer a full day of live music and dancing, with interactive art projects, group drumming and a sensory buffet packed with tactile experiences, fidget toys and ear protection for patrons to use.

The main stage lineup includes a variety of performers, including Polynesian dancers, Vocal Alchemy special-needs choir, Bay Area indie-jazz outfit Nassab and the Sheep, and Santa Rosa–based Americana songwriter Karen Shook.

On the patio, a silent disco will feature several local DJs spinning music that’s wirelessly tapped directly into special headphones.

The venue’s classroom space will host an expressive art experience led by local nonprofit Alchemia, which specializes in art-based therapy for adults with developmental disabilities. Food, beer and wine will be available, and the event will have volunteers on hand to help guide patrons through the day.

“I’m hoping that everyone can come and have something that speaks to them,” Parker says.

“We’re keeping it inclusive.”

The Inclusion Festival takes place on Saturday, May 12, at Arlene Francis Center, 99 Sixth St., Santa Rosa. 3–9pm. $10–$25 sliding scale.

Retail cannabis lounges proposed in Santa Rosa

BY STETT HOLBROOK

S

anta Rosa may soon join a small number of California cities that permit “cannabis lounges,” retail businesses with on-site cannabis consumption. While the regulatory hurdles for such businesses are high, the city’s permissive policies may usher in a new era of legal cannabis use in the city.

“This is a new aspect of the retail world that we’re willing to consider,” says Clare Hartman, Santa Rosa deputy planning director.

Santa Rosa opened the application period for new cannabis businesses on April 9. Because of the anticipated demand, the window for applicants was just two weeks, to give a planning department still reeling from last year’s fire time to process applications. The city received 38 applications for retail businesses of various kinds, most of them dispensaries with delivery services. The city currently has three retail cannabis businesses.

There is no cap on additional permits. Hartman says the city will accept more applications once staff works through this new batch.

A review of the applications revealed at least two businesses planning on-site consumption: Humanity Wellness, at 3791 Cleveland Ave., and Sustainable Growth Systems, at 2463 Bluebell Drive. Public consumption of cannabis is illegal in California, but under the Medicinal and AdultUse Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, cities and counties may authorize on-site consumption to licensed retailers and businesses as long as they abide by age restrictions, prohibit alcohol sales and ensure consumption is not visible to the public.

While on-site consumption is rare statewide, notable exceptions include West Hollywood, Oakland, San Francisco and Palm Springs.

Sonoma County and Sebastopol both prohibit on-site consumption.

Hartman does not expect a flood of cannabis lounges because of the city’s restrictive smoking laws (Vaping falls under the ordinance).

But the next round of applications may yield more. Perhaps there will be lounges just for edibles?

Of the 38 applicants, most are clustered around Yolanda Avenue and the northwestern section of the city, but provisions limit over-concentration of businesses.

Proposed businesses within 300 feet of residential areas must hold a community meeting. Thirty-two of the applicants fall under that requirement.

Hartman notes that some applicants want to locate near what she sees as like-minded businesses that celebrate Sonoma County lifestyle products. Solful, a new dispensary in Sebastopol, is applying to open a second location behind Trail House, a mountain bike shop/ beer lounge/cafe. There are also two businesses proposed on Briggs Avenue, near Vintner’s Square.

“It’s interesting how cannabis is creeping into the culture we’ve been trying to encourage,” she says.

Born under the sign of Taurus, Edmund Wilson was a renowned 20thcentury author and critic who wrote more than 30 books. He also served as editor for Vanity Fair and The New Republic, and influenced the work of at least seven major American novelists. When he was growing up, he spent most of his free time reading books: 16 hours a day during summer vacations. His parents, worried about his obsessive passion, bought him a baseball uniform, hoping to encourage him to diversify his interests. His response was to wear the uniform while reading books 16 hours a day. I trust you will be equally dedicated to your own holy cause or noble pursuit in the coming weeks, Taurus. You have cosmic clearance to be single-minded about doing what you love.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) It’s possible you could pass for normal in the next three weeks; you might be able to fool a lot of people into thinking you’re an average, ordinary contributor to the dull routine. But it will be far healthier for your relationship with yourself if you don’t do such a thing. It will also be a gift to your less daring associates, who in my opinion would benefit from having to engage with your creative agitation and fertile chaos. So my advice is to reveal yourself as an imperfect work-in-progress who’s experimenting with novel approaches to the game of life. Recognize your rough and raw features as potential building blocks for future achievements.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) “Paradise is scattered over the whole earth,” wrote the scientific poet Novalis, “and that is why it has become so unrecognizable.” Luckily for you, Cancerian, quite a few fragments of paradise are gathering in your vicinity.

It’ll be like a big happy reunion of tiny miracles all coalescing to create a substantial dose of sublimity. Will you be ready to deal with this much radiance? Will you be receptive to so much relaxing freedom? I hope and pray you won’t make a cowardly retreat into the trendy cynicism that so many people mistake for intelligence.

(Because in that case, paradise might remain invisible.)

Here’s my judicious advice: Be insistent on pleasure! Be voracious for joy! Be focused on the quest for beautiful truths!

LEO (July 23–August 22) These days, your friends and allies and loved ones want even more from you than they usually do. They crave more of your attention, more of your approval, more of your feedback. And that’s not all. Your friends and allies and loved ones also hope you will give more love to yourself. They will be excited and they will feel blessed if you express an even bigger, brighter version of your big, bright soul. They will draw inspiration from your efforts to push harder and stronger to fulfill your purpose here on Planet Earth.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) One of the advantages you get from reading my horoscopes is that I offer confidential information about the gods’ caprices and leanings. For example, I can tell you that Saturn— also known as Father Time—is now willing to allot you a more luxurious relationship with time than usual, on one condition: that you don’t squander the gift on trivial pursuits. So I encourage you to be discerning and disciplined about nourishing your soul’s craving for interesting freedom. If you demonstrate to Saturn how constructively you can use his blessing, he’ll be inclined to provide more dispensations in the future.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22)

Vincent van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night hangs on a wall in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He created it in 1889 while living in a French asylum. Around that same time, 129 years ago, a sheepherder in Wyoming created a sourdough starter that is still fresh today. A

BY ROB BREZSNY

cook named Lucille Clarke Dumbrill regularly pulls this frothy mass of yeast out of her refrigerator and uses it to make pancakes. In the coming weeks, Libra, I’d love to see you be equally resourceful in drawing on an old resource. The past will have offerings that could benefit your future.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Love everyone twice as much and twice as purely as you ever have before. Your mental health requires it!

Your future dreams demand it! And please especially intensify your love for people you allegedly already love but sometimes don’t treat as well as you could because you take them for granted. Keep this Bible verse in mind, as well: “Don’t neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.”

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December

21) After meditating on your astrological aspects for an hour, I dozed off. As I napped, I had a dream in which an androgynous angel came to me and said, “Please inform your Sagittarius readers that they should be callipygian in the next two weeks.” Taken back, my dreaming self said to the angel, “You mean ‘callipygian’ as in ‘having beautiful buttocks’?” “Yes, sir,” the angel replied. “Bootylicious. Bumtastic.

Rumpalicious.” I was puzzled. “You mean like in a metaphorical way?” I asked. “You mean Sagittarians should somehow cultivate the symbolic equivalent of having beautiful buttocks?” “Yes,” the angel said.

“Sagittarians should be elegantly well-grounded.

Flaunt their exquisite foundation. Get to the bottom of things with flair. Be sexy badasses as they focus on the basics.” “OK!” I said.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Now is a favorable time to discuss in elegant detail the semi-secret things that are rarely or never talked about. It’s also a perfect moment to bring deep feelings and brave tenderness into situations that have been suffering from half-truths and pretense.

Be aggressively sensitive, my dear Capricorn. Take a bold stand in behalf of compassionate candor. And as you go about these holy tasks, be entertaining as well as profound. The cosmos has authorized you to be a winsome agent of change.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) In his 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali shows three clocks that seem to be partially liquefied, as if in the process of melting. His biographer Meredith Etherington-Smith speculated that he was inspired to create this surrealistic scene when he saw a slab of warm Camembert cheese melting on a dinner table. I foresee the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Aquarius. Be alert for creative inspiration that strikes you in the midst of seemingly mundane circumstances.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

“My whole life is messed up with people falling in love with me,” said Piscean poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. She spoke the truth. She inspired a lot of adoration, and it stirred up more chaos than she was capable of managing. Luckily, you will have fewer problems with the attention coming your way, Pisces. I bet you’ll be skilled at gathering the benefits and you’ll be unflummoxed by the pitfalls. But you’ll still have to work hard at these tasks. Here’s some help. Tip #1: Stay in close touch with how you really feel about the people who express their interest in you. Tip #2: Don’t accept gifts with strings attached. Tip #3: Just because you’re honored or flattered that someone finds you attractive doesn’t mean you should unquestioningly blend your energies with them.

For the week of May 9

ARIES (March 21–April 19) The Torah is a primary sacred text of the Jewish religion. It consists of exactly 304,805 letters. When specially trained scribes make handwritten copies for ritual purposes, they must not make a single error in their transcription. The work may take as long as 18 months. Your attention to detail in the coming weeks doesn’t have to be quite so painstaking, Aries, but I hope you’ll make a strenuous effort to be as diligent as you can possibly be.
