Rhapsodies Planet Earth Is Blue The thought of a Bowie-less world is too absurd, too tragic and as near unfathomable a thought as I’m ever likely to have. Ground control gave us no warning, no commencing countdown, no nothing. We went to bed secure of our tomorrows and woke up to an empty house.

Men like David Bowie aren’t supposed

to die. David Bowie was one-of-a-kind, much like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Bonzo, Lemmy and others I’m no doubt forgetting as the reality of the day takes hold, as I hear the world carry on a few yards from my window, as I wipe whatever is left of my tears on the sleeve of my robe.

greater. Time after time, decade after decade, David Bowie lifted us through his music. David Bowie fell to earth a long time ago. On Sunday night, he went home. “Look up here, I’m in heaven.”

Where else would you be, sweet prince?

For a man known for changing at the speed of a chameleon, David Bowie offered great stability to millions. His impact on the arts is unquestionable.

His impact on his fans is perhaps

SENSIBLE STEVE Via Bohemian.com

Homeless in Guerneville Is the homeless population to blame for the fires being set in the Guerneville area? I was at the forum to address the anxiety over the Russian River fires. It was packed, and the heat made it hard to stay long. Christine Laporte asked why homeless people from other cities are being bused to Guerneville. Sonoma County Supervisor Efren Carrillo had a hard time justifying or admitting that it was happening.

The Russian River area has an extensive homelessness problem. Without adequate support from governmentfunded programs, what is the solution?

More housing needs to be built for those who qualify. Those fortunate enough not to be homeless need to be part of the solution instead of barriers against the system.

This is a system in desperate need of change. It’s 2016, and more and more people go homeless everyday. The next time you shop at Walmart, take notice of all the people living out of their cars.

The next time a homeless person asks you for money, treat them with a little humanity. Acknowledge them, and if you can spare anything, it will help. These people are in need of much more than just money. Anything and everything extra will help.

Donate to your local homeless shelters: Food. Extra clothing. Makeup. Sleeping Bags. Ask yourself, “If I was homeless, what would I need?” It’s a tough problem to solve, and there are no easy answers.

Burritos of Compassion The new year is the time to help those in need BY DUANE DE WITT

A

few days before Christmas, many homeless people in Santa Rosa were trying to stay warm under flimsy umbrellas during an onslaught of cold rain. While we are happy for the rain, it presents a dilemma to hundreds of local residents without shelter.

Times are getting worse for many of these poor folks, but there was a bright spot for some that day. The good people at Los Arcos Restaurant on Marlow Road in west Santa Rosa gave out hot, fresh Christmas burritos to many grateful folks.

Francisco Cano was the man behind the giveaway, while volunteers from Homeless Action, Santa Rosa Together, and VetConnect hand delivered the Christmas Burritos to people on the streets.

Thank goodness for people with big hearts like Mr. Cano, who was willing to give away more than a hundred burritos, worth hundreds of dollars, to help those worse off than himself.

The people from Homeless Action have also been helping with homeless encampments in Roseland, where local restaurants have been stepping up to help the disadvantaged.

VetConnect has been hosting meals and handing out warm clothing to veterans while trying to help anyone else in need this season. There are many more people in need than you might surmise, so please take the time to reach out to your fellow men, women and children and help whoever you can be warm and dry, as well as fed. The new year is a perfect time to make a resolution to help others in need.

Centuries ago it was said, “God bless everyone!” I wish the same to all of you, and look forward to a better year for all Americans. Good deeds, not just words, are needed.

Duane De Witt is from Roseland and volunteers on many Roseland adventures. He hands out Paco’s burritos when he can.

THE

Paper DEATH DU JOUR Mass shootings in America, like this scene from San Bernardino, have become all too common.

Killed by Death North Bay vs. the NRA

P

resident Barack Obama took the issue of gun control by the horns on Jan. 4 and gave an emotional speech as he announced an overdue set of executive actions that aim to reduce insane levels of gun violence in this country.

Obama’s actions, which have garnered between 75 and 90 percent approval ratings from Americans, have three

main thrusts: one expands the FBI’s oversight as it closes the background-check loophole that gives wide latitude to gun sales from non-brick-and-mortar gun shops; another aims to sensitively and sensibly address mental-health issues and gun ownership; and a third pushes for new gun-safety technologies that would stanch the flow of blood from accidental home shootings that all too often involve young children. Gun-industry research and development into safe-gun

technologies, Obama noted in a subsequent Town Hall on CNN, was previously shut down under boycott pressure from the NRA. In the aftermath of the executive actions, a compliant mainstream media was eager to highlight predictable overreactions among Second Amendment gundamentalists in the name of fairness. The Hill reported on Obama’s “controversial” gun control measures and how gun owners were responding, which was to say that they were calling

him a tyrant. But Obama’s move may finally put the “controversy” qualifier where it belongs: on the controversial gun owners and the controversial National Rifle Association, which continues to wield influence over controversial politicians who reflexively pander to the gun lobby.

Congressional inaction was the spur for Obama’s constitutionally solid executive actions. But even as Republican leaders are constantly on the lookout for any chance to play the “tyranny” card, Blue Dog Democrat and Napa-based gun-owning U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson and 114 of his congressional colleagues sent Obama a letter in November that asked him to close the background-check loophole— through executive action.

Thompson also co-sponsored a bill last March, with the staunchly right-wing bloviator Peter King of suburban New York, to expand the background-check system, “to cover all commercial firearm sales, including those at gun shows, over the internet or in classified ads while providing reasonable exceptions for family and friend transfers.” That bill went nowhere.

The triggering event for Obama’s executive actions was the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino that left 14 people dead and 22 seriously injured.

But the soul-wrenching slaughter of first-graders in Newtown has been the persistent backdrop to Obama’s gun-control push. And yet when the president shed a tear for those children, the Obama haters of Fox and elsewhere said he was faking it and doubleddown on the “He’s coming for your guns” routine.

Obama was at his best during the CNN Town Hall when he ripped into a sputtering Anderson Cooper for giving credence to any suggestion that the president’s ulterior motive is to confiscate the estimated 350 million guns now in private possession in the United States, as a pretext for martial law.

Obama made his big push on gun control even as the generally peaceable kingdom of the North Bay has itself withered under the

three or four handguns around the house. And while they were secure and safe from my kids’ reach, it just made me really uncomfortable to think I could pull it out and shoot someone when I didn’t really want to.”

Local politicians have tried, and largely failed, to overcome the pernicious gun-lobby influence in Sacramento. State Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, last year pushed a bill that would have banned the possession of largecapacity magazines, but she failed to find fellow supportive Democrats.

The Obama actions may be the opening gambit in a more common-sense-driven push on gun control that is not overly reliant on the NRA’s approval— or rather, its controversial and reactive disapproval to any attempt at gun control whatsoever.

It may create the political space necessary for NRA-beholden politicians to wean themselves off the bullet-teat.

But there’s still a lot of work to be done. Hancock urged her fellow Democrats to get with the program and support her bill.

“Democrats are not all on the same page about anything,” she said.

California already has a background-check law and bans numerous assault-style weapons.

The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gave California an A– last year for the strength of its gun laws. The Obama measures provide an opportunity to bring California’s grade to an A+, but only if politicians stop cowering before the NRA and their enablers. Over the last 15 years, gun groups have sent at least $440,000 to state level campaigns in California, according to the Secretary of State’s campaign finance database.

Howard and others are irked that a small minority still wields so much power. “It is hard to realize in this day and age when so many people are speaking out that men with money still control the situation and how laws are made and passed,” Howard said.

“What about the people? ”

D EBRIEFER Parker Pot Pledge Sean Parker, Facebook co-founder, philanthropist and Big Sur defiler, has made good on a pro-pot promise he made last year, and donated $500,000 to a new prolegalization organization called— wait for it, because it’s kind of long—Californians to Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana While Protecting Children, Sponsored by Business, Physicians, Environmental and Social Justice Advocate Organizations. That’s one all-encompassing organization, no further explanation required as to their orientation, but Debriefer is trying to figure out how to pronounce this mind-bender in the acronym form, which is CCRTAUMWPCSBPESJAO. The organization formed in anticipation of a 2016 ballot initiative to legalize cannabis in California, but, while we are on the subject, don’t tell that to the anti-pot chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, who foolishly told the world last week that she opposes legalization even as she’s drunk on big dollars from the booze lobby.

Redwoods Down?

The city of Santa Rosa is moving forward with what it has called a “high-priority infrastructure plan” to reunify Courthouse Square downtown, a plan that has been fraught with controversy over the fate of some 35 redwood trees, some of them quite majestic. The city held its second of two community-input meetings on Jan. 9. Critics say the fix is in, and that all those redwoods are going to be toppled in the name of reunifying the square and adding new parking downtown in the process. Those concerns may be a little overstated.

The Jan. 9 meeting was held to review preliminary design plans. No one is calling for the total removal of all the redwoods, but city officials previously told Debriefer that at least some would likely be felled to accommodate whichever of the designs is ultimately selected. Attendees at the Jan. 9 meeting were given a chance to signal approval or disapproval of the designs, and most of the approvals, reported the Press Democrat, were given to a plan that would create a big green space, surrounded by trees. Some of them, presumably, redwoods.

A noteworthy point of departure for some of the businesses in and around the square clamoring for more parking was their insistence that the redwoods are essentially an invasive species on the square as it is. Those are fighting words, and the Ents are on the move in solidarity with the redwoods as we speak. No decision has yet been made on a final design for the square.

Estero Protection Jan. 7 was a big day for a trio of area land-preservation organizations, as they announced the $3.8 million purchase of the 547-acre Estero Ranch west of Valley Ford. The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation & Open Space District, the Sonoma Land Trust and the Wildlands Conservancy worked with the California Coastal Conservancy and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to purchase the sensitive and breathtaking slice of coastal land, located where the Estero Americano meets the Pacific Ocean. A press release announcing the purchase noted that it would link to another forever-wild piece of land adjacent to the Estero Ranch previously scooped up by the Sonoma Land Trust.

power of the gun lobby. In 2013, an NRA-approved lawsuit against North Bay sheriff’s departments helped to end a highly restrictive permitting system whereby almost no-one who applied for a concealed weapon permit got one. A report from Nov. 2013 on KPIX, the Bay Area CBS affiliate, noted via a public records request that Marin County had 29 active concealed-weapon permits; Napa County had 359; and Sonoma, 84.

The report noted that as a “may issue” state, California sheriffs have had the ultimate discretion of who can and who can’t carry a concealed weapon.

One aspect of Obama’s executive action would be of service to those very permitholders: Obama pushed for the advent of new technologies that would render a weapon useless to anyone other than the person who owns it. It would make concealedcarry citizens that much safer by eliminating the possibility of a weapon being turned against the person carrying it, through biometric identification or other safety features. That measure would also make it impossible for toddlers to shoot their siblings with dad’s .45.

For everyday North Bay residents, issues around gun control are entirely and unabashedly personal. For many of them, the Obama executive actions are exactly the remedy to bring a level of sanity to a nation awash in weapons.

North Bay residents interviewed for this story largely echoed what Sausalito’s Mark Howard said: “If we look closely at what is going on, it just doesn’t make any sense.”

Howard, a former gun owner, says that there is a basic failure to understand that the gun crisis in America is “a problem and a pandemic that can easily be avoided. We live in a society where we want absolute freedoms, and does that freedom mean certain types of weapons that can only be used to kill another person? I think it is time to step up and make a change in how we look at guns.”

Howard rid his family home of its guns two years ago. “I had

Dining COOL TREND Move over locavores, here come the climatarians.

The Climate Menu Eating for a cooler planet

A

bout one-third of the earth's greenhousegas pollution can be linked to food, its production, processing, packaging, transport, storage and preparation.

As climate change becomes a mainstream concern, and people keep obsessing about food, it seems inevitable that a new flavor of diner would emerge, the name of which made the New York Times list of top new food words, “climatarianism.”

BY ARI LEVAUX

A climatarian is one whose diet choices are designed to help reverse climate change. This includes eating locally produced food (to reduce energy spent in transportation), choosing pork and poultry instead of beef and lamb (to limit gas emissions) and using every part of ingredients (apple cores, cheese rinds, etc.) to limit food waste.

Climatarians look at their food choices with a sense of duty similar to what many put toward recycling or riding their bike to work. While a low-carbon meal isn’t any more of a silver bullet

against global warming than a recycled can, the power of many people beating a similar drum can have a big impact. Eating in a carbon-friendly way, like recycling, gets one into the habit of respecting the impact of all of one’s actions, great and small.

To be a smart climate player at the dining table, you need to know how and where something was produced, details which can vary between meals that look similar on the surface, like a good old plate of steak and potatoes. According to the food carbon emissions calculator

CleanMetrics, a pound of “rationfed beef”—that is, factory-farmed beef—is responsible for eight kilograms of carbon in the atmosphere, largely in the form of methane. This is an astounding amount when multiplied by the billions of pounds of beef consumed around the world. And in the case of beef, it doesn’t much matter where it was produced.

The transport-related emissions for that pound of beef, if it were shipped 1,000 miles, would only be 0.07 kilograms of carbon.

Grass-fed beef emits a bit less, according to the calculator, releasing 7.58 kilos of carbon for every pound eaten (with the same transport emissions). This is less atmospheric carbon than factoryfarmed beef creates but is still an astronomical, unsustainable amount. A pound of lentils, by comparison, releases 0.24 kg, while a pound of chicken releases 1.5 kg of carbon dioxide.

Properly grazed ungulates like cattle can actually help the earth sequester carbon dioxide, as their manure encourages plant growth which removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Still, it’s safe to assume the worst when buying beef of unknown provenance.

Unfortunately for cheese and butter lovers, the condensed secretions of bovine mammary glands that they so cherish are responsible for a lot of carbon pollution.

Obviously, going vegetarian or vegan will make it easier to stay on a carbon budget, and if that feels right for your body, go for it.

While some have the fortune to obsess over their artisan, carbon-friendly lifestyles, the fact remains that most food is purchased at a supermarket or restaurant. So until climatarians can scan labels with their smartphones and keep track of personal carbon use, they will have to do it the old-fashioned way: with their brains, by digging for clues and stringing them together. But let’s face it, since climatarianism is a bit of a nerdy pursuit, they should be OK with that.

SMALL BITES

Caesar Salad Perfection

Dawn Heumann

NORTH BAY BOHEMIAN | JANUARY 13-19, 2016 | BOHEMIAN.COM

12

Though the caesar salad is not a classic Italian dish by any stretch, just about every restaurant has a version of it.

The story goes that it was invented by Tijuana restaurateur Caesar Cardini in 1924 as an improvised dish when he was low on ingredients. It’s a borderland recipe created by an Italian immigrant, and cooks have been reinventing the dish ever since, for better or, often, worse, adding grilled chicken, mayonnaise and even fried tortilla strips.

There is no “authentic” recipe since it’s been reinterpreted so many times. Apparently, the first version didn’t include anchovies.

In that tradition, Sebastopol’s Peter Lowell’s restaurant has its own take on the salad. It’s fantastic. I’ve been asking owner Lowell Sheldon for the recipe for months, and now he’s published it on the restaurant’s excellent food blog, LocalFoodMatters.org.

(They’ve also got a good recipe for preserving lemons I want to try.)

For its caesar, Peter Lowell’s uses the inner leaves of escarole instead of romaine.

I’ve always thought romaine was just a step above iceberg in terms of flavor, but the hearty, pleasantly bitter escarole stands up well to the bold dressing. It’s a great choice.

The vinaigrette is slightly different than most others I’ve tried in that it includes lemon juice and red wine vinegar. It also contains a bit of sugar to offset the acid. It’s rounded out with the umami-rich flavors of anchovy paste and Worcestershire sauce.

And it’s got plenty of garlic.

Caesar salad recipes will continue to evolve, but I’m content to stick with this one.—Stett Holbrook

Whiskey-fied On double-strength stouts and barleywines aged in whiskey barrels BY JAMES KNIGHT

I

f the first sight of gray weather brings a hearty pint of stout to mind, then as winter storms line up across the Eastern Pacific, stronger imperial stouts are ever more tempting. But a sweet, spiritscented imperial stout aged in whiskey barrels—that’s a shelter-in-place warning in a glass.

Recently, I brown-bagged some strong, local brews and their barrel-aged editions, where available, and poured them for Bohemian staffers— carefully, two ounces at a time—to elicit their reactions to these monsters of craft beer.

Marin Brewing Old Dipsea Barleywine Style Ale Long before the triple IPA, there was the barleywine: a souped-up, maltier version of brown English ale. It’s been a long time since I had one, and I was surprised by the creamy smoothness of this 9 percent alcohol by volume (abv) regular release.

Marin Brewing 2013 Old Dipsea (aged 15 months in whiskey barrels) The same raisin and date sugar aromas are amped-up here, but it isn’t just the booze that lends sweet, sherried notes, says brewmaster Arne Johnson. Like wine, beer undergoes microoxygenation when aged in barrels, a slow, tiny dose that rounds out flavors without spoiling the beer. This is the last barrel-aged barleywine for a while, because Johnson only has room for a few barrels. But look for an Imperial stout aged in Breckenridge Distillery bourbon barrels, on draft for SF Beer Week, Jan. 22.

Moylan’s Ryan Sullivan’s Imperial Stout A smoky whiff of dark roasted grain and coffee introduces this imperial Irish-style stout, which finishes on a dry, pleasingly bitter note for a brew of 10 percent abv.

Moylan’s 2014 Ryan Sullivan’s Imperial Stout Perhaps because it was aged six months in single malt whiskey barrels (from Stillwater Spirits, under the same ownership), this stands out from the bourbon-barrel pack, retaining a dry, roasty Irish stout palate with molasses, vanilla, licorice and sarsaparilla overtones. A rare bird in stores.

Lagunitas 2015 High West-ified Imperial Coffee Stout Aged in High West Distillery rye barrels, with all the caramel, syrup and booze of a Bananas Foster, this is the most whiskey-fied of the lineup, a chocolaty, 12 percent abv winter warmer that wants pouring over ice cream. Look for a draft-only release this month, or wait until November for the next bottled edition.

Fogbelt Federation Giant Imperial Milk Stout This collaboration beer gets an infusion of subtle flavor from oak chips and the bits of char that collect on the bottom of local distillery barrels, but is dominated by cold-brew from Santa Rosa’s Brew coffeehouse. Bohemians loved all 64 ounces of this growler. The last keg of this 9.1 percent abv batch gets tapped for SF Beer Week.

Phys Ed New ideas for getting fit and having fun doing it in 2016

BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY

G

etting fit is a New Year’s resolution cliché, the stuff health magazines, health clubs and online listicles thrive on.

But how often do commitments to get in shape stick? All the Fitbits and CSA veggie deliveries in the world won’t make it any easier to actually get off your butt and start making exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your life. Too often, fitness devolves into a boring gym chore, something you should do but don’t want to do. But fear not. We’ve compiled a list of 10 fun and novel ways to get your body moving and to have fun doing it. No treadmills required.

Be a Trail Maven Bay Area–based Trail Mavens is a hiking and adventuring website for women, offering overnight camping trips in Marin County and farther destinations like Tahoe and Big Sur. The Mavens team supplies the gear and food, and serve as guides for participants. In addition to learning essential off-the-grid skills, such as how to pitch a tent, those trips (priced around $400)

promise bonding, memories and good old girl power, i.e., climbing that mountain without complaining. Upcoming trips include Point Reyes and Angel Island. trailmavens.com.

Pound Away If a workout consisting of rocking drum sticks to infectious music sounds too good to be true, you probably haven’t heard of Pound. The patented

technique involves energetic, dynamic moves planned with “strategic distractions” from the cardio effort. Fierce Fitness, the longstanding Santa Rosa destination for all things movement, just added a new Pound class for 2016, and it can be tried for a mere $8 a visit. It’s an excellent way to tone arms and curb work and personal frustrations. facebook.com/ srfiercefitness.

Join the Circus Ever imagined being a part of Cirque du Soleil? Sonoma’s TrapezePro caters to that fantasy while training body muscles in all sorts of ways. The small studio offers a bunch of classes you’ve probably never tried before: aerial silk, flying trapeze, trampoline and circus skills. Judging by the way acrobats and trapeze artists usually look, you might want to take all of them. Classes cost $40,

Hop on a bike Cycling often doesn’t feel like exercise; pedaling while surrounded by beautiful scenery sounds more like the perfect daytrip. Sonoma County’s Grasshopper Adventure Series capitalizes on this with scenic and moderate-to-grueling rides that range from 27 to 100 miles long. Ride locations include Lake Sonoma, Kings Ridge, Chileno Valley and many others. grasshopperadventureseries.com.

Put a Mask On They say wearing layers while working out makes you shed even more pounds. This is pretty much a guarantee with fencing.

The Marin Fencing Academy takes the practice very seriously and offers beginner adult classes and tournaments. Monthly memberships begin at $130.

Have a competitive streak? Like sword fighting? Look no further. marinfencing.com. ) 16

not cheap, but the thrills (and bragging rights) are worth it. trapezepro.com

Train for the Vineman We all have that friend, once a normal person, now a marathon junkie, who posts running images on Instagram and gushes over every race she’s run. Somehow, the triathlon seems the cooler way to go, especially when it’s called

Vineman. The Sonoma County twist on the swim, bike, run combo?

A scenic path from Guerneville to Windsor, river views, riding through vineyards and winetasting after the big day. Three races await in March and July, so there’s plenty of time to start a training group. vineman.com.

Join a New Fitness Studio There’s something about a

new, slick studio that makes jumping into workout mode easier. This year, there are plenty of new places to check out, with everything from Pilates to brutal TRX and beyond.

SweatMood (sweatmoodfitness. com) in Santa Rosa specializes in boot camp–like workouts, in a nightclub atmosphere, low lights and bouncy music and all. The minimalist Body by X in Corte Madera (getfitmarin.com) offers

Author and pastor Audrey Wald grew up in the Deep South. When she wasn’t attending church services led by her evangelical preacher father, she was reveling in the classic Southern blues and rock of the 1940s and ’50s. Now living in the North Bay and leading the flock at St. Helena’s United Methodist Church, Wald is also the author of a recent memoir about her youth and its lasting impact, Hidden Biscuits: Tales of Deep South Revivals Told

by Heart. This week, Wald speaks from the heart when she reads on Thursday, Jan. 14, at Napa’s Main Library, 580 Coombs St., Napa.

Santa Rosa resident Clark Swarthout is an artistic late bloomer, having spent 40 years on the seas as a navigation officer on American merchant ships. Retiring four years ago, Swarthout put down the compass and picked up a pen, creating in intricately detailed and wildly imaginative works done in ink.

Despite having no formal training, Swarthout has proven himself a natural talent, and has already shown at galleries and businesses in Sonoma County and San Francisco. This week, Swarthout celebrates the opening reception of his current solo show on Friday, Jan. 15, at Santa Rosa City Hall Council Chambers, 100 Santa Rosa Ave., Ste. 10, Santa Rosa. 5pm. Free.

LUCKY DOG Although the Lofton family lost their Cobb home in the Valley Fire, their dog, Daisy, stayed healthy

thanks to the Middletown Animal Hospital.

Dog (and Cat) Days Volunteers help four-legged victims of September’s Valley Fire BY CHARLIE SWANSON

I

t’s been four months since the Valley Fire, but the need for assistance goes on.

For the Middletown Animal Hospital, which became ground zero for domestic and largeanimal rescue and care during the disaster, the road to recovery is ongoing. Dr. Jeff Smith and his staff continue to provide affordable and sometimes free care and services for families in the

community affected by the fire.

That’s where HALTER comes in.

Established by Glen Ellen–based event and project manager Julie Atwood in 2012, the Horse and Livestock Team Emergency Response (HALTER) focuses on creating a network of community members and first responders to help animals in emergencies, and provides information and resources for horse and livestock owners with a focus on preparedness.

“We saw there was a need in the

North Bay to help large animals and the people who own them in emergencies,” Atwood says.

“In the case of the Valley Fire, we got called in ways we never anticipated.”

HALTER’s role in the Valley Fire first stemmed from a veterinarian at UC Davis who was a first responder in HALTER’s network. He called Atwood to ask for support for the Middletown Animal Hospital. Though Atwood had never worked with the animal

hospital, she took to the internet to start connecting the hospital with volunteers and began collecting donations on their behalf. HALTER’s initial goal of $150,000 was quickly surpassed, though after a month’s time, the donations plateaued.

Atwood was looking for a way to bring in more funds to allow the hospital to continue offering animal services on a sliding scale. At the same time, Sonoma photographer and friend Melania Mahoney reached out to Atwood to offer her assistance.

Together, they created the 2016 Year of Recovery monthly calendar, available now, to benefit the animal hospital by sharing stories and memories of families connected with the animal hospital.

For Atwood, the project became more than a fundraising effort, resonating with her on a personal level she did not anticipate.

“When we started, it was simply ‘Let’s support the animal hospital, let’s raise money and keep this story out there,’” Atwood says. “It took on a life of its own. It became a very personal and emotional project.”

Atwood listened to hundreds of stories in her visits to Middletown Animal Hospital. “We feel a part of a community now that we never knew a few months ago.”

That community is reflected in the calendar’s photos and interviews. Showcasing horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats and even a 70-pound tortoise, the calendar is a yearlong reminder of the “importance of animals in our lives,” Atwood says, “and of the importance of being prepared in an emergency.”

The 2016 Year of Recovery Calendar is available throughout the North Bay and online at halterfund.org. $20 plus $1 shipping. All proceeds go to the Middletown Animal Hospital.

GOOD BAD WITCH Daniela Innocenti Beem is the moral authority in this delightfully dark fairy tale.

strong ensemble of North Bay performers, bolstered by uniformly fine singing voices, is the primary magic ingredient in Theater-at-Large’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods.

Resurrected for a reprise run at Spreckels Performing Arts Center, this is an encore staging of the delightfully dark fairy-tale mashup that played to sold-out houses and rave reviews last fall in Novato.

Such a plan worked out well

last year, when Theater-at-Large brought its stellar rock musical Next to Normal to Spreckels for a repeat run. In this case, Into the Woods, while highly recommended for its musical prowess and stellar performances, seems a bit flat and theatrically undercooked compared to the pristine perfection of Next to Normal.

In all fairness, though, that show is a high bar to match, and this one, directed again by Kim Bromley, does occasionally come close. The jaw-dropping beauty of the music—spun as if

from a magic loom by a chamber orchestra directed by Debra Chambliss—and the fine singing and playful presence of the cast, will make audiences glad enough they came, even if the woefully straightforward staging and a few disappointingly clumsy transitions do come off as less than inspired.

What seemed cozy and warm at the much smaller Novato Theater Company space, struggles to fill out the massive Spreckels stage, often swallowing the best efforts of the first-rate cast.

As the sweet but conflicted Cinderella, Julianne Thompson Bretan gives one of many standout performances, and Krista Joy Serpa, as a fierce and funny Little Red Riding Hood, is a song-belting hoot. Also exceptional are Sean O’Brien and Alison Peltz as the show’s childless protagonists, the baker and his wife, who launch the action with a scavenger hunt for magical items to reverse a witch’s curse and give them a baby.

Playing Cinderella’s prince with a swashbuckling grin and a smarmy swagger, Anthony Martinez is wonderful, as is Johnny DeBernard, bringing a comforting presence and supremely clear diction as the mysterious narrator. And as the witch, the unexpected moral authority of this fractured fairy tale, Daniela Innocenti Beem is a force of nature, taking chances with the first part of the story, playing the witch for laughs rather than the usual menace, then morphing into a powerhouse of emotional strength and sheer vocal dynamite.

Yes, some of the effects may leave you underwhelmed, but there’s no escaping the forceful enchantment of this fine ensemble of actors, making merry magic with their mighty voices.

'Into the Woods' runs Thursday– Sunday through Jan. 17 at Spreckels Performing Arts Center. 5409 Snyder St., Rohnert Park. Friday–Saturday, 8pm; Sunday, 2pm matinees. $26.

TRUE GRIT Leonardo DiCaprio takes on bears and more in ‘The Revenant.’

Dead Man Iùårritu’s sweeping Western retells survival story BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

I

n brief, The Revenant is what The Hateful Eight promised to be: the toughest Western since True Grit, complete with awe-inducing snowscapes. It’s dazzling to see that such magniďŹ cent desolation is still left in a crowded world.

Director Alejandro GonzĂĄlez Iùårritu based The Revenant on the legend of Hugh Glass, previously ďŹ lmed in 1971 as Man in the Wilderness with Richard Harris. Iùårritu grounds the violence in the fur trade in the upper Missouri river in the 1820s. Rival groups of Europeans are denuding the forest of its creatures, while holding off the understandably furious Arikara Indians. Scouting for a party of trappers, Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is mauled by a bear and left for dead by his companions. Despite severe wounds and a broken leg, Glass ďŹ ghts his way back to civilization to confront the man, Fitzgerald (the ever-impressive Tom Hardy), who abandoned him.

What doesn’t happen to DiCaprio’s Glass in this epic, set in the Dakotas but taking in real-life locations from Tierra del Fuego to British Columbia? Indian attacks, blizzards and the money scene from Jack London’s “To Build a Fire.â€? A fall off a cliff, a tumble down freezing river rapids, a cauterization that tops the one in Two Mules for Sister Sara, Gollum-style meals of raw ďŹ sh and the most vicious bear attack ever ďŹ lmed for a ďŹ ctional movie.

As seen from his various melodramas, from Babel to Biutiful, Iùårritu is a stranger to the word “enough.â€? Still, the plethora of events includes an intelligent subplot about a chief and some of his companions searching for a kidnapped girl, as if in an inversion of John Ford’s The Searchers. Within the extremities and occasional nonsense in The Revenant is a superb blood-and-guts Western with shock and sweeping visual scope. Hardy’s Fitzgerald—he’s been cracked since he was scalped (“I got my head turned inside outâ€?)— proves that a Western is better when you can see an antagonist’s point. Hitting age 40, a never-tougher DiCaprio makes you tend to believe this story of hellish endurance. ‘The Revenant’ is playing in wide release in the North Bay.

orth Bay institution Greg Anton is best known as the drummer for eclectic jamrock ensemble Zero, and more recently for supergroup the Rock Collection. In his day job, he’s also worked as an attorney championing medical-cannabis rights for decades, most recently with Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana.

Anton, who lives in Sebastopol after residing in Marin for 25 years, added author to his résumé in late 2014 with his fictional debut Face the Music, a rock and roll novel. On Sunday, Jan. 17, Anton talks about the book with iconic artist, activist and prankster Wavy Gravy at Book Passage in Corte Madera.

“I’m just so fascinated by musicians,” Anton says, talking about the inspiration for the book.

“I’m fascinated by the focus they display toward their craft and their instrument.”

On the flip side of that coin, Anton says, sometimes the only thing artists can do well is their art. “I thought it would be fun to write about a guitar player trying to talk to his landlord or talk to his girlfriend,” he says.

The book’s protagonist is Woody, a gifted though struggling guitarist in 1970s San Francisco busking on the streets and playing small clubs. Early in the book, Woody writes a love song for his girlfriend, Stephanie, that he plays for a famous touring rock star. As Woody’s life continues to fall apart, Stephanie leaves him and the rock star steals his song, forcing the songwriter to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

The book has been a workin-progress that goes almost as far back as Anton’s musical career, and though it’s not strictly autobiographical, Anton adds many real-world events and details that give readers insights into the music business and bring the story to life.

Soon after publishing the novel late in 2014, Anton showed it to Robert Hunter, lyricist for the Grateful Dead and Zero. “I gave him the book and he liked it, and I said, ‘How about a song?’ He gave me a beautiful love song called ‘Stephanie,’” Anton says.

Anton recently recorded “Stephanie” with friends Steve Kimock (guitar), Melvin Seals (organ), Tim Hockenberry (vocals) and Robin Sylvester (bass). Copies of the single will be available at the upcoming reading.

In addition to the new music, Anton is also looking forward to chatting with longtime friend Wavy Gravy. “He’s just a saint, and I applaud all his efforts,” Anton says. “I imagine that our conversation will resemble a good rock ’n’ roll jam.”

Greg Anton appears in conversation and reads from ‘Face the Music’ on Sunday, Jan. 17, at Book Passage, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera.

Astrology

BY ROB BREZSNY

For the week of January 13

ARIES (March 21–April 19) You love autonomy.

You specialize in getting the freedom and sovereignty you require. You are naturally skilled at securing your independence from influences that might constrain your imagination and limit your self-expression. But here’s a sticking point: If you want the power to help shape group processes, you must give up some of your autonomy. In order to motivate allies to work toward shared goals, you need to practice the art of interdependence. The next test of your ability to do this is coming right up.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) “Nothing is really work unless you’d rather be doing something else.” So said Taurus writer James M. Barrie (1860–1937), author of Peter Pan. Your challenge and invitation in the coming months is to increase the amount of time you spend that does not qualify as work. In fact, why don’t you see how much and how often you can indulge in outright play? There’ll be no better way to attract grace and generate good fortune.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) Here’s my proposal: Get in touch with your madness. And don’t tell me you have no madness. We all do. But listen: When I use the word “madness,” I don’t mean howling rage, hurtful lunacy or out-of-control misbehavior. I’m calling on the experimental part of you that isn’t always polite and reasonable; the exuberant rebel who is attracted to wild truths rather than calming lies; the imaginative seeker who pines for adventures on the frontiers of your understanding. Now is an excellent time to tap into your inner maverick.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Here’s an excerpt from Dorianne Laux’s poem “Antilamentation”: “Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read to the end just to find out who killed the cook. Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark. Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot. Not the nights you called god names and cursed your mother, sunk like a dog in the living room couch, chewing your nails.” I’m giving you a good dose of Laux’s purifying rant in the hope that it will incite you to unleash your own. The time is favorable to summon an expanded appreciation for the twists and tweaks of your past, even those that seemed torturous in the moment. Laux doesn’t regret the TV set she threw out the upstairs window or the stuck onion rings she had to sweep off the dirty restaurant floor, and I hope you will be that inclusive.

LEO (July 23–August 22) “Modesty is the art of drawing attention to whatever it is you’re being humble about,” said Alfred E. Neuman, the fictitious absurdist whose likeness often appears on the cover of Mad magazine. I’m here to tell you, Leo, that now is an excellent time to embody this aphorism. You are in a perfect position to launch a charm offensive by being outrageously unassuming. The less you brag about yourself and the more you praise other people, the better able you will be to get exactly what you want.

Being unegotistical and non-narcissistic is an excellent strategy for serving your selfish needs.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) “To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s,” says a character in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. I don’t agree with that idea 100 percent of the time. Sometimes our wrong ideas are so delusional that we’re better off getting interrupted and redirected by the wiser insights of others. But for the near future, Virgo, I recommend Dostoyevsky’s prescription for your use. One of your key principles will be to brandish your unique perspectives.

Even if they’re not entirely right and reasonable, they will lead you to what you need to learn next.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) “I love kissing,” testifies singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens. “If I could kiss all day, I would. I can’t stop thinking about kissing.

I like kissing more than sex because there’s no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep.” I invite you to temporarily adopt this expansive obsession, Libra. The astrological omens suggest that you need more sweet slippery sensual tender interaction than usual. Why? Because it will

unleash sweet slippery sensual tender emotions and sweet slippery sensual tender thoughts, all of which will awaken a surge of dormant creativity. Which you also need very much.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) “Everything has been said before,” said French author André Gide, “but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.” I am happy to inform you that you’re about to be temporarily exempt from this cynical formulation. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be able to drive home certain points that you have been trying to make over and over again for quite a while. The people who most need to hear them will finally be able to register your meaning. (P.S.: This breakthrough will generate optimal results if you don’t gloat. Be grateful and understated.)

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) Do you want more money, Sagittarius? Are there treasures you wish you could have, but you can’t afford them? Do any exciting experiences and life-enhancing adventures remain off-limits because of limited resources? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, now would be an excellent time to formulate plans and take action to gather increased wealth. I don’t guarantee total success if you do, but I promise that your chance to make progress will be higher than usual. Cosmic tendencies are leaning in the direction of you getting richer quicker, and if you collaborate with those tendencies, financial magic could materialize.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) “It’s a terrible thing to wait until you’re ready,” proclaims actor Hugh Laurie. He goes even further: “No one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready.” His counsel is too extreme for my tastes. I believe that proper preparation is often essential. We’ve got to get educated about the challenges we want to take on. We need to develop at least some skills to help us master our beloved goals.

On the other hand, it’s impossible to ever be perfectly prepared and educated and skilled. If you postpone your quantum leaps of faith until every contingency has been accounted for, you’ll never leap. Right now, Capricorn, Laurie’s view is good advice.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Fate has transformed a part of your life that you didn’t feel ready to have transformed. I won’t offer my condolences, though, because I’ve guessed a secret that you don’t know about yet. The mythic fact, as I see it, is that whatever you imagine you have had to let go of will ultimately come back to you in a revised and revivified form—maybe sooner than you think.

Endings and beginnings are weaving their mysteries together in unforeseen ways. Be receptive to enigmatic surprises.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) Good news: Your eagerness to think big is one of your superpowers. Bad news: It’s also one of your liabilities.

Although it enables you to see how everything fits together, it may cause you to overlook details about what’s undermining you. Good news:Your capacity for intense empathy is a healing balm for both others and yourself. At least potentially, it means you can be a genius of intimacy. Bad news: Your intense empathy can make you fall prey to the emotional manipulation of people with whom you empathize. Good news: Your willingness to explore darkness is what makes your intelligence so profound. Bad news: But that’s also why you have to wrestle so fiercely with fear.Good news: In the next four weeks, the positive aspects of all the above qualities will be ascendant.
