Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Justice at Last?

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Sonoma County’s last ditch appeal to keep Sgt. Erick Gelhuas from facing trial (“Denied,” June 26). The Iraq War veteran has been charged with the wrongful shooting death of 13-year-old Andy Lopez as the boy walked down a neighborhood street with a toy rifle. This is the fourth failed appeal, which has thus far cost the county some 4 million in taxpayer dollars.

In a desperate attempt to save face,

Assistant Sonoma County Sheriff Clint Shubel said, “We want to get clarity and guidance from the courts.” Four court decisions against granting immunity to Gelhaus couldn’t be more clear. The U.S. District Court in Oakland, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, a second denial for a rehearing with the Ninth Circuit and now the Supreme Court have all turned down the case.

Judge Milan D. Smith of the Ninth Circuit found that “a reasonable jury could find that Gelhaus’ use of deadly force was not objectively reasonable. . . . Andy did

THIS MODERN WORLD

not pose an immediate threat to law enforcement officials and therefore the law was clearly established at the time of the shooting that Gelhaus’ conduct was unconstitutional.”

When Gelhaus is on the stand, jurors will hear of his many writings for SWAT and other paramilitary magazines about how police can justify killings. In one, he wrote: Law enforcement is a contact sport. If you find yourself in the kill zone, you need to turn on your mean gene. . . .

Today is the day you may need to kill somebody in order to go home.”

By Tom Tomorrow

A jury will see Gelhaus’ videotaped deposition in which he said that Andy “didn’t turn towards me when I shot him.” He also admitted that he doesn’t know if Andy’s gun was ever pointed at him. In a video deposition, Gelhaus is shown replicating Andy’s stance with the toy gun in his left hand and turning to the point when he fired off eight rapid shots in six seconds at the boy. Andy’s rifle was pointing straight down toward the ground.

A jury will also hear the testimony of Jeff Westbrook of Santa Rosa who, two months before Andy’s death, was pulled over by Gelhaus for failing to signal a lane change. Gelhaus pulled a gun on Westbrook as he walked up to the car and Westbrook felt so troubled by the officer’s demeanor that he asked, “Sir, is there something wrong with you?

“Westbrook later said, “I felt like I was watching somebody I needed to help.”

His complaint to Gelhaus’ superior officer was ignored.

Most observers agree the county has already lost this case and their best bet will be to keep Gelhaus off the witness stand and settle the case without further delay. Perhaps now the Lopez family will at long last see the light of justice in this unspeakable tragedy.

What does a just recovery look like?

BY MARA VENTURA AND MARTY BENNETT

E

ight months after the most destructive wildfire in California history, many Sonoma County residents are still struggling to recover. Long before the Tubbs fire, widening inequality, increasing poverty and the expansion of low-wage work had undermined economic security for low- and middle-income residents.

Moreover, building in high-risk areas, one of the major causes of the fire, will continue and increase the risk of another devastating fire.

The most visible sign of economic distress is the cost of housing.

Between 2000 and 2015, inflation-adjusted median rents increased by 17 percent, while median renter annual income declined by 9 percent. Before the fire, housing was unaffordable for 55 percent of Santa Rosa renters because they paid more than 30 percent of their gross monthly income for rent. The fires exacerbated the crisis by destroying 5 percent of the city’s housing and triggering a 36 percent increase of rents by unscrupulous landlords.

A just recovery must include public policy to raise the wage floor, make housing more affordable and create good, living-wage jobs.

Moreover, the increasing threat of wildfires and the lengthening of the wildfire season due to climate change have accompanied growing economic insecurity. Cycles of drier and hotter weather followed by extreme rainfall and then rampant growth of combustible vegetation, coupled with suburban sprawl in high fire-prone areas like Fountaingrove, have increased the risk of wildfires.

A just recovery must limit sprawl, protect urban-growth boundaries and community separators, and require higher building standards to minimize fire risk.

The Alliance for a Just Recovery (AJR) was formed by labor, environmental, faith and community based organizations to provide a voice for those who have the least resources to advocate for public policy to address structural inequality, the climate crisis and the wildfire threat.

On Thursday, July 19, the AJR will sponsor a forum at 6 pm at Christ Church United Methodist in Santa Rosa. Presenters will discuss the agenda for a just recovery that includes rent control; a $15 citywide minimum wage; raising the real estate transfer tax to fund affordable housing; and the need for a “zero net energy” and “allelectric ready” housing policy to decrease fire risk and our reliance on fossil fuel.

GROWTH INDUSTRY Bay Area immigrant detention centers are booming under President Trump.

Migrant Lockup Fairfield detention facility housing migrant youth suspected of gang activity under fire BY TOM GOGOLA

A

s fallout from the Trump administration’s family-separation immigration policy plays out along the Mexican border and around the country, local elected officials are increasingly engaged in an effort to determine the status of undocumented youths currently housed at a handful of Bay Area immigrant detention centers.

One of those centers, the BCFS Health and Human Services facility in Solano County, was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union last August, along with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and numerous federal immigration officials.

The Fairfield facility is one of several youth detention centers operated by the San Antonio– based nonprofit company, which this year received $121 million in federal grants to house unaccompanied minors and

other migrants. According to an Open Secrets investigation, $3.9 million of that $121 million was for housing for 18 males in California.

According to the Federal Register, in February of this year the company received an addition $15 million in federal funds to help President Trump implement his “zero tolerance” policy for asylum seekers from Central America crossing into the United States through Mexico. The money was earmarked for BCFS to provide an additional 450 beds.

The Fairfield Health and Human Services facility is used to house undocumented immigrant youth from various Central American countries, who, according to the ACLU suit, were mostly rounded up more than 3,000 miles away under the guise of a “gang crackdown.”

The ACLU alleges that the male youths were sent to privately owned detention centers and denied immigrant benefits and services because of “flimsy, unreliable and unsubstantiated allegations of gang affiliation.”

One youth who wound up at the Fairfield detention center, identified as “F.E.” in court documents, is an El Salvadoran teenage refugee who was living with his mother and step-father on Long Island, N.Y., when he was arrested by local Suffolk County police and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Under the aegis of the federal government’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), he was sent to a Virginia detention center, then to the Fairfield facility before finally being transported to an ORR contracted facility in New York.

He is one of numerous youth from an immigrant-heavy part of Long Island who were, charges the ACLU, “arrested, denied access to family and legal counsel, transported far away from home and held in jail-like conditions for weeks on end without any process through which they could challenge their confinement or deny gang affiliation.”

Earlier this month, U.S. Congressman Mike Thompson attempted to visit an unidentified detention center and was rebuffed by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.

Thompson sent a letter to HHS Secretary Alex Azar, saying that it was “unacceptable that you have denied my request and are doing a bureaucratic shuffle aimed at covering up the tragedies of the president’s policy of separating undocumented families,” as he implored HHS to switch course and provide access.

On Monday this week, Thompson and U.S. Rep. Mark DeSaulnier toured an HHS

documents are mainly incident reports from immigrant detention centers around the country, including the Fairfield BCFS facility. The FOIA request spanned several months in 2014 and incident reports from Fairfield indicate that there were several instances of alleged sexual abuse or inappropriate sexual behavior committed by youthful detainees against other detainees.

Another incident report states that a Mexican detainee at the Fairfield facility was threatened with a beating by an ICE officer for not signing an English-language document the detainee did not understand.

The federal Department of Health and Human Services released the incident reports at Fairfield and other unaccompanied-minor detention centers to Judicial Watch on July 14, 2017. The ACLU filed its lawsuit against Sessions and the BCFS Health and Human Services less than a month later, on Aug. 11, 2017.

The focus on California detention centers this month is being undertaken just as a federal judge in California upheld most of the legislative pieces that bolster California’s push to become a so-called sanctuary-state. One of the laws that was upheld was AB 103, which empowers the state to review the federal detention of immigrants in the state.

State Sen. Bill Dodd represents Fairfield and says that “the federal government should be doing everything possible to reunite these children with their parents,” and applauded the federal judge’s ruling that prevents ICE officials from detaining immigrants seeking asylum. “The decision vindicates the premise that the state of California shouldn’t be forced to pay for federal immigration enforcement,” he says. “I hope the federal government comes together to adopt thoughtful, humane reform.”

Dodd’s office says he doesn’t have all the facts on the Fairfield arrests last week and could not comment.

Mei Sou #5 by Iva Hladis, 2012

The Fairfield BCFS Health and Human Services facility opened in 2009 when Barack Obama was president. During Obama’s presidency, the number of children in the ORR program averaged around 7,500 a year between 2005 and 2011. By 2012, there were about 13,000 youths in the program, and by 2015 there were close to 35,000, according to a recent audit of BCFS undertaken by the HSS Office of Inspector General in 2016.

That audit determined that the company’s Texas centers had overbilled the government by more than $600,000. BCFS disputed the results of the audit.

In 2010, the state Department of Social Services Care Licensing Division sued to close the privately owned facility, which was the first apparent BCSF youth-detention-center foray into California. The state regulators argued that the facility ran afoul of state laws governing child center regulations. Court documents indicate that the suit stemmed in part from the state charging that BCFS was monitoring detainees’ phone calls, and that the company violated a state regulation which said the youths could not “be locked in any room, building or facility premise at any time.”

The state did not prevail in its effort to shut the facility down, and in its response to the suit, BCFS lawyers argued that the state didn’t consider “the unique concerns and issues relating to the children residing at the BCFS facility, such as the criminal history associated with some of the residents and their illegal status.”

Anti-immigration organizations took an interest in these facilities before Trump was elected. In 2014, the far-right organization Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the federal Health and Human Services which sought information on numerous detention centers then being utilized to house the undocumented.

The FOIA request was completed in 2017, and the

facility in Contra Costa County.

In a statement, Thompson noted the high standard of care at the center, but said that “no amount of care at these facilities can make up for the fact that children are being subjected to the harmful and lasting trauma of being separated from their families.”

His office did not respond to questions related to the Fairfield facility.

Last week, two Bay Area women and other volunteers attempted to bring food and supplies to the undocumented migrant children being held at the BCFS facility in Fairfield, which is located in U.S. Rep. John Garamendi’s district.

The women, Elizabeth DeCou and Jesse Inglar, were from Berkeley and part of an organization called Solidaridad con Niños. DeCou was arrested and charged with trespassing.

Garamendi spokesman Dillan Horton says the congressman, who was on the Mexican border this week before returning to Washington, has a “general concern about what conditions these kids and families are in, in general across a variety of facilities across the country.” He emphasized a concern over the mental health of the children being detained, “and the degree of access—it’s valuable for the kids to have access to the community and for the community to have access.”

A report on July 4 in the New York Times highlighted links between numerous privately run detention facilities for undocumented youths, and the Trump administration. It reported that BCFS’s board members include former U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla, who was on the shortlist to be Trump’s secretary of agriculture, and lobbyist Ray Sullivan, who was Rick Perry’s chief of staff when Perry was governor of Texas. Perry is now Trump’s energy secretary.

As the family-separation crisis grows, the company has pushed off media inquiries to the ORR or other federal agencies, but told the Times on July 4 that its work had “spanned Democratic and Republican administrations.”

hen I was a senior editor for Make magazine a few years back, the two biggest events of the year were the Maker Faires in New York and San Mateo.

hackers and geeks. There’s nothing like it.

My favorite part of the event was the day before it opened, when all the makers were busy setting up their booths and readying various contraptions, experiments and whirligigs. It’s a tradition that the long day of preparation ends with a party featuring cold beer, music and a long line of hungry makers waiting for a plate of Gerard Nebesky’s paella.

The Occidental resident,

whose white goatee matches his curly head of hair, has long been a fixture at the two big Maker Faires, where he cooks vast quantities of paella with wooden spoons as big canoe paddles in mammoth pans as big as satellite dishes. I miss those paella parties.

Nebesky and his brigade of risotto pans are regulars at various Bay Area festivals and farmers markets, but now the patron of paella has a fixed location in downtown Santa Rosa.

After what seemed like an eternity (I was hungry), he finally opened on Fourth Street last month, where Persona Pizza had its short run. I predict Gerard’s Paella will be there for quite a while.

The remodeled space has an understated, modern feel. I love the low orange stools and beautiful wooden tables. There’s a bar with a great lineup of local and Spanish wine and beer, and a separate patio that I’m eyeing for our holiday party.

Nebesky inherited the former occupant’s wood burning oven.

I’m glad he kept it. The paella dishes are assembled in front of customers as they line up to order, and are finished in the oven to delicious effect.

If anything, the paella is even better than I remember it. The rice has a wonderful, toothsome quality. I could taste each grain. I tried the El Pescador ($14), mussels, clams, shrimp and squid made with peas, sweet peppers and inky black arroz negro. The three dollops of aioli were about two too many, but otherwise it’s fantastic and big enough to share. There are also vegetarian and meatier versions.

The bocadillos (baguette sandwiches, $8) may be my new go-to lunch. They’re served on soft, freshly baked baguette rolls.

I tried the Choripan—thinly sliced chorizo sarta, tetilla cheese and charred kale. Tetilla is a semi-soft cow’s milk cheese from Galicia that’s wonderfully creamy and sweet. It’s great layered with hearty chorizo. The jumble of fat olives on the side is a nice bonus.

I was pleased to see a number of classic Spanish tapas. The kitchen serves a respectable patatas bravas (spicy potatoes, $8) that’s just begging for a glass of Estrella Damm lager to go with it. The fried calamari is another beer- or Albariño-friendly snack. Instead of bread flour, they’re battered in chickpea flour and served with smoked paprika-spiked aioli. The gambas al ajillo ($10), five plump prawns sizzled in spicy garlic butter, are worth the ensuing garlic breath—use it to tell your friends about Gerard’s new home.

French Toast To the barricades, glass in hand

BY JAMES KNIGHT

A

mericans just don’t celebrate Bastille Day like they do the public holidays (or national heritage-themed festivities, anyway) of a handful of other nations: with a bout of drinking any alcoholic beverage associated with said nation.

Maybe July 14 follows too close on the heels of a beersoaked Fourth, but it’s a missed opportunity for North Coast wineries. As Irish stout is to St. Patrick’s Day, surely such a Frenchthemed holiday would be soused in what most folks think of as numéro un of French wines: Cabernet Sauvignon.

The funny thing about that is, while Cab is king in California, it’s merely in the top five in France, ranking below workaday Carignan and humbled by the reign of Merlot. And while native to Bordeaux, Cab gained its favored status in close concert with the wine-drinking habits of aristocratic Englishmen who were in need of something weedy and tannic with which to continue staining their teeth after taking black tea at four.

There’s a line of wine criticism which insists that, since Americans prefer coffee, often with cream and sugar, they fancy their Cabernet with roasted oak, vanillin and sweet fruit flavor. The Educated Guess 2017 North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon ($19.99) offers no contradiction—only roasty, toasty French roast aroma, inky purple marker notes and convincing tannic grip, for a democratic price.

Although the producer, an outfit called Roots Run Deep Winery, had to abandon a fully Napa Valley designation this year, the Lake County portion comes to the blend with the good rep of Beckstoffer Vineyards. The wine’s black plum and black-cherry fruit flavors sweeten in the glass, balancing the charred character. If this doesn’t do it for your backyard barbecue guests, then let them drink . . . $400 Napa Cab? Another funny thing about Cabernet in Napa Valley is that it’s most often seen in the company of that trophy blonde, Chardonnay, when its real mate, or rather, maman, back in Bordeaux, is Sauvignon Blanc—a mix-up that probably stems from the lineup at the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting.

Speaking of stems, the Ehlers Estate 2017 St. Helena Sauvignon Blanc ($32) fumes with those pyrazine notes shared by both varietals. Here, it’s evocative less of green pepper than dusty shale, or to some, flint or smoke, like some Loire Sauvignon Blancs. Grapefruit pith and hardly ripe yellow plum flavors might be a bit tart for some tastes, yet if the long finish is bracing, it isn’t bitter. Anyway, this organically farmed, varietal exemplar is best suited for quiet summer evening sipping, not a bout of drinking.

Women help girls in a #MeToo world

BY STEPHANIE HILLER ALL TOGETHER NOW Sonoma’s G3: Gather, Grow and Go offers programs to build self-confidence

and wellness in women and girls.

S

ince #MeToo burst onto the stage this past fall, sexual violence against women has finally achieved the public recognition long overdue a crippling problem, one that has plagued women and girls for decades—maybe centuries. And it’s not going away.

But perpetrators are beginning to be held accountable. In May, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein turned himself into police in New York for sex crimes. Bill Cosby, similarly accused of molesting dozens of women, faces 30 years in prison after his conviction. Still, the National Crime Victimization Survey shows that 99 percent of perpetrators walk free.

“The more high-profile these situations are, the more people will have to open their eyes and ask why this is happening,” says Yesenia Gorbea of Futures Without Violence in San Francisco. “Survivors are able to step forward because they feel they can be heard. It’s a cultural shift we’re seeing. Finally, issues are being talked about, informed by the survivors themselves.”

“#MeToo is fantastic, a huge breakthrough,” says Jan Blalock, chair of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women. “It does bring to light what has been going on. But are people safer? No, but it’s safer to talk about things.

“We’re in a very dangerous time,” Blalock continues, “with the internet and easy access to pornography—especially for boys who think this is normal or what girls want. You can order a child to have sex with as easily as ordering a pizza.” But even more dangerous are the trafficking networks that use social media to trap young girls into forced sex work.

exual abuse is about power, says Caitlin Quinn, communications coordinator at Verity (formerly Women Against Rape), a social service nonprofit in Santa Rosa.

“Abusers prey upon people that they perceive as weak in some form or another, with more marginalized identities or with disabilities,” Quinn says. According to a yearlong study by National Public Radio, people with mental or physical disabilities are five to six times more likely to be abused. “It’s an epidemic no one talks about.”

experience sexual violence before the age of 18. If it’s about power, will empowering girls help keep them safe?

G3: Gather, Grow and Go is a Sonoma-based nonprofit for women that “creates experiences to help you leverage your best.” It offers programs for teen girls, and recently has developed programs for mothers with their daughters.

The group holds daylong and weekend workshops aimed at “empowering girls to leave with a heightened awareness of who they are and who they want to become,” says co-founder Michelle Dale.

But Dale is clear that G3’s programs, which pre-date #MeToo, have not been adapted in response to that movement.

Dale is a bright, beaming single mother of two teen girls. She says the workshops take a holistic approach “to reignite the magic inside us that sometimes grows dim,” and encourage wellness to support self-confidence, as well as

recognizing “the power of no.”

“We believe the work changes how people look at themselves,” she says.

Workshops for teens are designed to address the many challenges girls face. “First and foremost is technology and social media,” says Dale. “It makes girls feel left out, not good enough. Everyone else is doing everything they want to be doing. . . .

It also limits your basic face-to-face social skills.”

And it also exposes them to the creeping tentacles of traffickers.

Dale favors limiting a child’s time on social media, and not only for girls. Perhaps most damaging is “the epidemic of young boys thinking it’s OK to play video games eight hours a day, winning the game by killing each other.”

What about their social skills, their ability to feel empathy, she asks.

G3 workshops provide “opportunities for girls to feel empowered to stand up and give voice to what they will accept or not.” But they do not address the

issue of sexual assault directly.

“We build voice and confidence and sisterhood, and those things work to allow women and girls the courage and support to live strong, live brave and speak their truth and help others to do the same,” Dale writes in an email.

Bringing mothers and daughters together for quality time is key. “It allows everybody to slow down to find the connection that brings them closer together.

“Your relationship with your mother is very important, maybe the most important one you have.”

Quinn seconds that. “Mothers need to do everything they can to talk to their daughters.

Sometimes that means being vulnerable. A lot of mothers don’t want to share what violence has happened to them, but that can help a daughter understand her point of view. Lots of women are still blaming themselves for what happened to them.”

But for Dmitra Smith, vice

chair of the Sonoma County Commission on Human Rights, it’s not possible to look at this issue without considering intersectionality, the interplay of race, class and gender.

“What if Mom is a single mom working several jobs to make ends meet? She may not have time to talk to her daughter,” Smith says.

“If you look at the #MeToo movement, that term was coined over 10 years ago by Tarana Burke, a black woman who was largely ignored. For me, as a woman of color, it’s great that so many women are finding their voice, but there’s a sense of frustration at how it took a segment of mostly white women who are affluent to talk about it for it to be receiving the attention that it deserves.”

Reports vary, but generally white women and Latinas experience more assault than black women, while Native American women endure the most abuse; and assault by a white man is the most common.

“I’m still reminded that women of color, indigenous, undocumented and poor women are systematically sexually and physically abused by law enforcement and incarceration systems who then evaluate themselves and find nothing wrong with their actions,” said Smith. orsening the problem for all women, social media has made the world more dangerous than ever, especially for young women, and it is one of the hardest to combat. “As soon as the police or our advocates have figured out one new lure or app,” says Quinn, “these guys come up with another one.”

One example is Snapchat, “an app that teens love to use,” Quinn says. Users can have their location “turned on,” allowing friends and contacts to see where they are. Kids need to know that setting it “public” is risking trouble, Quinn says.

Social media has enabled traffickers to make easy contact with vulnerable girls. And

once they target a young girl— promising her a fabulous career as a model—it may be hard for her to resist.

Even harder is for a girl once trafficked to get out. Tiburon’s Shynie Lu, a recent graduate of Sonoma Academy, made a video as a project for the Sonoma County Junior Commission on Human Rights, called Strong Survival. In it, she interviews Maya Babow, who managed to escape from her traffickers after six years.

“People ask, why didn’t she leave sooner?” says Lu, “But when you hear her talk about the threats they made, how they would hurt her family, and about withholding food and water from her, she made it clear why she wasn’t able to walk out.” Now an ambassador for Shared Hope International in Marin, Lu helps inform high school students about the danger.

So once #MeToo drops off the radar, will perpetrators again find refuge in the surrounding silence?

Rates of sexual violence are declining, and continued outcry will certainly help, but empowering girls may not be enough to create the kind of change women rightfully demand. “I was a highly empowered teen,” says Blalock, “an athlete, but I was raped.”

Maybe change has to happen on the other end of the spectrum.

As Babow says in the film, “We need to stop the demand. If you can stop the demand, there is no need for supply.”

Futures Without Violence has started a nationwide program called Coaching Boys into Men, in which male athletic coaches are trained to lead workshops for their teams to deliver the message that is is manly to respect girls. But there do not seem to be many such programs currently in place in local schools.

“The onus is on society to see girls and women as equal, intelligent beings worthy of respect rather than objectifying them,” said Blalock.

Instead of teaching girls not to get raped, we can teach boys not to rape—soon.

Beers for Breasts

For Healdsburg-based oil painter Bradford Brenner, art is all about relationships. Describing his process as an attempt to connect himself to the viewer through his paintings, Brenner pairs seemingly disparate elements on his canvases, mixing light and dark colors and exploring abstract forms and a diverse subject matter. This week, art lovers can connect to Brenner’s work and connect with a Zinfandel from the family-owned Wine Guerrilla, which is hosting the “West County Art & Wine” event at its tasting room in Forestville, featuring art, hors d’oeuvres, live music and wine by the glass on Friday, July 13, 6671 Front St., Forestville. 4pm. Free admission. 707.887.7996.

Since 2001, the annual Breastfest Beer Festival has helped low-income women diagnosed with cancer get access to medical treatment and find relief through alternative options. To do this, Breastfest employs the North Bay’s rich bounty of brewers to come together for a day of bottomless beer-tasting, free eats, live music and community support.

This year’s breweries includes locals like Marin Brewing Co., Russian River Brewing, Henhouse Brewing, 101 North Brewing, Moonlight Beer & Ale and many others, and proceeds will go to Marin-based breast cancer foundation To Celebrate Life. Saturday, July 14, Marin Center, 10 Avenue of the Flags, San Rafael. 1pm. $50–$65. thebreastfest.org.

MASTER OF PUPPETS Lex Rudd will begin offering classes (not in lion taming) in Forestville next month.

Creature Crafter Puppet and prop maker Lex Rudd connects to community with new studio BY CHARLIE SWANSON

I

t could be said that Lex Rudd makes dreams come true— or, more precisely, she makes visions a reality.

That’s because the longtime Sonoma County resident is a special effects master who specializes in designing and building puppets and props for film, television, theater productions and toy makers.

This summer, Rudd steps out of the shop and into her new Dreams and Visions Puppet & Craft Studio in downtown Forestville, where she’ll display her work and offer a series of crafting and sewing classes starting in August.

Born in England, Rudd was a young artist enamored with creatures like those created

by Jim Henson in the films Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal.

“When I was 16, for Halloween,

my friend and I wanted to make some masks,” remembers Rudd.

“Instead of doing papier-mâché or whatever, we thought we’d do it properly, so we bought some clay and some plaster and some latex, and we made these werewolf masks. Ever since then, I’ve loved sculpting and I’ve loved creatures.”

In college, Rudd earned a degree in special effects and began working for a U.K. company where she sculpted

dragons for the 2002 film Reign of Fire and created puppets for the 2005 film The Brothers Grimm.

Rudd moved to Los Angeles to work on a children’s TV show in 2004, and eventually relocated to the East Bay and then Sonoma County in 2008. In 2014, she appeared on Syfy’s reality competition show Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge, where she made monsters on camera along with nine other contestants.

Though she was eliminated on the show, Rudd was one of two contestants picked up by the Henson Creature Shop to work as a contractor.

“As far as puppets go, they’re the pinnacle, really,” Rudd says. “I just worked on the new Dark Crystal [Netflix series], and I can’t say what, but I got to work on one of the major puppet characters.”

While Rudd travels for work, she now wants to establish a presence in the artistic hub of the North Bay. “I absolutely love it here in Sonoma County. I want to get more involved in the community, and am hoping that people start to notice me.”

At the Forestville studio, currently open by appointment only, Rudd has assembled a working space, complete with industrial machines and a wall of fabrics, that will also serve as a classroom. The upcoming adultoriented classes will let prospective crafters make their own Billy Goat Gruff puppets, tote bags and more.

“If there’s interest, I want to open it up to making professional puppets and get more in-depth,” Rudd says. “I’d also love to get into bigger local projects and cool, weird community art stuff.”

Dreams and Visions Puppet & Craft Studio in Forestville is open by appointment only; classes begin Thursday, Aug. 2. For details, visit dreamsandvisionsart.com.

‘School of Rock’ musical sinks

BY HARRY DUKE

O

ne might think that the talents behind Downton Abbey and Phantom of the Opera would be odd choices to make a Broadway musical out of a 2003 movie starring Jack Black.

JULY 25TH | SOMO VILLAGE DOORS AT 5:00 | SOMOCONCERTS.COM

One would be correct.

School of Rock, now on the San Francisco stop of its national tour, is Julian Fellowes and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s overblown take on that modest film whose charm relied mostly on appreciation of its star.

Dewey Finn (Rob Colletti, doing Jack Black–light) has been kicked out of his band, has no visible means of support and is months

behind on the rent due his best friend Ned (Matt Bittner). After receiving an ultimatum from Ned’s girlfriend (Emily Borromeo) to raise the money or get out, he answers a phone call seeking Ned’s services as a substitute teacher.

Since subbing obviously requires no skills at all, Dewey decides he can impersonate Ned and make some quick money.

It’s off to the toney Horace Green Academy where Dewey takes charge of an elementary class whose students have two things in common: they’re all musically gifted and their parents all ignore them. Why not turn them into a backup band and enter them in a competition? How long can he fool the stern headmistress (Lexie Dorsett Sharp, doing Joan Cusack–light) and bring his plan to fruition?

Well, almost to the end of the show’s two hours and 40 minutes, which is about an hour longer than the film took to tell the story, albeit with less music—which isn’t a bad thing.

Webber’s score is his least memorable, as may be this entire production. The characters are all stubbornly one-dimensional. Every adult comes off poorly (except, of course, Dewey) with every parent self-absorbed, every educator an idiot and every child a prodigy. The kids are talented musicians—yes, they play their own instruments— but when it comes to acting, not so much. To be fair, they’re onstage a lot, the choreography requires them to jump up and down a great deal, and they spend a fair amount of time moving set pieces. Maybe that’s a lot to ask of a group of preteens.

The best parts of the show, beyond the kids’ musical performances, are drawn straight from Mike White’s film script.

There are laughs, but kids deserve a better School than this.

Rating (out 5 five): ‘School of Rock’ runs Tuesday–Sunday through July 22 at the SHN Orpheum Theatre, 1192 Market St., San Francisco. Show times vary. $40–$256.

THANKS FOR SHARING Many of the Happys’ songs probe not-so-happy mental-health subjects.

All Smiles

The Happys embrace their emotions on new EP

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

G

uitarist and singer Nick Petty understands the positive impact that music can make on people. Music is one of the ways he pulled himself together after a troubled youth that included depression, addiction and brief incarceration—and music is what he has dedicated himself to sharing with his friends and fans as the frontman of Novatobased pop-punk band the Happys.

“I want to be in a band that’s making an impact,” Petty says. “I strive to entertain people and let people know it’s OK to be weird, it’s OK to be different.”

The Happys play Tuesday, July 17, at the Milk Bar in San Francisco. For details and to stream ‘Bipolar,’ visit facebook.com/thehappysband.

17 NO RTH BAY BO H E M I AN | JULY 1 1-17, 20 1 8 | BOH EMI A N.COM

Music

The 26-year-old Petty first formed the Happys in 2012. Over the years, the band’s membership has moved around, though the lineup solidified in early 2018 with lead guitarist Alex Sanchez, bassist Brett Brazil and drummer Ryan Donahue.

Musically, the group draws from ’90s upbeat punk-pop bands like Blink 182 and Sublime, while also delving into heavier territory akin to Nirvana and Tool. Petty also lists influences ranging from Frank Sinatra to Tupac Shakur.

That spectrum is represented on the band’s new EP, Bipolar, which came out last month and is available online.

Petty doesn’t shy away from talking about mental health on the new EP, which features four songs that open up a dialogue many people still have trouble engaging in.

Opening track “Birdy” is about living with depression, while track two, “Cut the Rope,” examines elements in people’s lives that hold them back emotionally. Petty describes the third title track as a love letter to mental health, and the EP’s closer, “Manic,” is about being, well, manic. Despite the subject matter, the tempo on the EP stays pulsing, and the guitars occasionally shred with hints of heavy metal flair in their punky rhythms.

“Every day I deal with some serious emotional stuff,” says Petty. “It’s a big issue in the nation and in the world. We know the band is in entertainment, so we’re a group where people can come to be themselves and have fun.”

Currently, the Happys are working with artist management guru Rick Bonde—whose résumé includes both Blink 182 and Sublime—at Tahoe Artists Agency, and the band is recording a follow-up full-length album. This month, the Happys take the show on the road with a tour covering Southern California between July 11 and 15.

“As a band, we want to look out for people,” Petty says. “We want to show them love and make them feel that they’re not alone.”

e’re halfway into the first year of recreational cannabis sales and taxation under Proposition 64.

So how goes it for the rank-and-file growers and manufacturers who were coaxed into support for Proposition 64? Not so good.

That’s the assessment of the California Growers Association’s “Mid-Year Outlook, 2018,” a report on the state of the industry thus far.

“From disappointing [first quarter] tax revenue, to disappointing license numbers, the market is inundated with a general sense of malaise,” writes CGA executive director Hezekiah Allen. “What was once a dynamic and diverse marketplace is now stagnant, with significant barriers disrupting commerce and communities.”

Most discouraging, Allen says

that legalization has not happened yet for most of the state because city and county governments are still working to implement permitting ordinances. Many have no plans for cannabis sales.

“The general outlook for the California market is likely to be depressed until things change at the local level,” he says.

The new report warns that the costly transition from temporary to annual licenses “may change the landscape” as businesses without sufficient means fade away. License fees range from $1,200 for small growers to $77,000 for the largest cultivation license, and $4,000 to $120,000 for retail operations.

The new report also points to an oversupply “ticking time bomb” created by large-scale growers who have ramped up production ahead of retail outlets.

“There are a handful of businesses, some rookie and some veteran, seeking to bring some of the state’s largest harvests ever to market,” says the report. “Fortunes may be earned and most certainly will be lost.”

On the plus side, the report is bullish on the first legal lightdeprivation crops about to hit the market later this month, followed by sun-grown cannabis by year’s end.

“These harvests are marked by some of the richest and most delicate entourages of flavors, aromas and cannabinoids.”

Meanwhile, in what may be a case of the cart before the horse, Sen. Mike McGuire and Assemblyman Jim Wood announced last week that the North Coast Regional Office of the Bureau of Cannabis Control is open in Eureka.

The office will save North Coast growers and retailers a trip to Sacramento to pay their taxes— cold comfort for the many growers struggling to pay their taxes and stay afloat.

Astrology For the week of July 11

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Your key theme right now is growth. Let’s dig in and analyze its nuances.

1. Not all growth is good for you. It may stretch you too far too fast—beyond your capacity to integrate and use it. 2. Some growth that is good for you doesn’t feel good to you. It might force you to transcend comforts that are making you stagnant, and that can be painful. 3. Some growth that’s good for you may meet resistance from people close to you; they might prefer you to remain just as you are, and may even experience your growth as a problem. 4. Some growth that isn’t particularly good for you may feel pretty good. For instance, you could enjoy working to improve a capacity or skill that is irrelevant to your long-term goals.

5. Some growth is good for you in some ways, and not so good in other ways. You have to decide if the tradeoff is worth it. 6. Some growth is utterly healthy for you, feels pleasurable and inspires other people.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) You can’t sing

with someone else’s mouth, Taurus. You can’t sit down and settle into a commanding new power spot with someone else’s butt. Capiche? I also want to tell you that it’s best if you don’t try to dream with someone else’s heart, nor should you imagine you can fine-tune your relationship with yourself by pushing someone else to change. But here’s an odd fact: You can enhance your possibility for success by harnessing or borrowing or basking in other people’s luck. Especially in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) You wouldn’t attempt to cure a case of hiccups by repeatedly smacking your head against a wall, right? You wouldn’t use an anti-tank rocket launcher to eliminate the mosquito buzzing around your room, and you wouldn’t set your friend’s hair on fire as a punishment for arriving late to your rendezvous at the cafe. So don’t overreact to minor tweaks of fate, my dear Gemini. Don’t overmedicate tiny disturbances. Instead, regard the glitches as learning opportunities. Use them to cultivate more patience, expand your tolerance and strengthen your character.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) I pay tribute to your dizzying courage, you wise fool. I stage-whisper “Congratulations!” as you slip away from your hypnotic routine and wander out to the edge of mysterious joy.

With a crazy grin of encouragement and my fist pressed against my chest, I salute your efforts to transcend your past. I praise and exalt you for demonstrating that freedom is never permanent but must be reclaimed and reinvented on a regular basis. I cheer you on as you avoid every temptation to repeat yourself, demean yourself and chain yourself.

LEO (July 23–August 22) I’m feeling a bit helpless as I watch you messing with that bad but good stuff that is so wrong but right for you. I am rendered equally inert as I observe you playing with the strong but weak stuff that’s interesting but probably irrelevant. I fidget and sigh as I monitor the classy but trashy influence that’s angling for your attention; and the supposedly fast-moving process that’s creeping along so slowly; and the seemingly obvious truth that would offer you a much better lesson if only you would see it for the chewy riddle that it is. What should I do about my predicament? Is there any way I can give you a boost?

Maybe the best assistance I can offer is to describe to you what I see.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Psychologist Paul Ekman has compiled an extensive atlas of how emotions are revealed in our faces. “Smiles are probably the most underrated facial expressions,” he has written, “much more complicated than most people realize. There are dozens of smiles, each differing in appearance and in the message expressed.” I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because your assignment in the coming weeks—should you choose to accept it— is to explore and experiment with your entire repertoire of smiles. I’m confident that life will conspire to help you carry out this task. More than at any time since your birthday in 2015, this is the season for unleashing your smiles.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Lucky vibes are coalescing in your vicinity. Scouts and recruiters

BY ROB BREZSNY

are hovering. Helpers, fairy godmothers and future playmates are growing restless waiting for you to ask them for favors. Therefore, I hereby authorize you to be imperious, regal and overflowing with self-respect. I encourage you to seize exactly what you want, not what you’re “supposed” to want. Or else be considerate, appropriate, modest and full of harmonious caution. CUT! CUT! Delete that “be considerate” sentence. The Libra part of me tricked me into saying it. And this is one time when people of the Libra persuasion are allowed to be free from the compulsion to balance and moderate. You have a mandate to be the show, not watch the show.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Emily Dickinson wrote 1,775 poems—an average of one every week for 34 years. I’d love to see you launch an enduring, deep-rooted project that will require similar amounts of stamina, persistence and dedication. Are you ready to expand your vision of what’s possible for you to accomplish? The current astrological omens suggest that the next two months will be an excellent time to commit yourself to a Great Work that you will give your best to for the rest of your long life!

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

What’s the biggest lie in my life? There are several candidates. Here’s one: I pretend I’m nonchalant about one of my greatest failures; I act as if I’m not distressed by the fact that the music I’ve created has never received the listenership it should have. How about you, Sagittarius? What’s the biggest lie in your life? What’s most false or dishonest or evasive about you? Whatever it is, the immediate future will be a favorable time to transform your relationship with it.

You now have extraordinary power to tell yourself liberating truths. Three weeks from now, you could be a more authentic version of yourself than you’ve ever been.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) Now and then you go through phases when you don’t know what you need until you stumble upon it. At times like those, you’re wise not to harbor fixed ideas about what you need or where to hunt for what you need.

Metaphorically speaking, a holy grail might show up in a thrift store. An eccentric stranger may provide you with an accidental epiphany at a bus stop or a convenience store. Who knows? A crucial clue may even jump out at you from a spam email or a reality TV show. I suspect that the next two weeks might be one of those odd grace periods for you.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) “Reverse psychology” is when you convince people to do what you wish they would do by shrewdly suggesting that they do the opposite of what you wish they would do. “Reverse censorship” is when you write or speak the very words or ideas that you have been forbidden to express. “Reverse cynicism” is acting like it’s chic to express glee, positivity and enthusiasm.

“Reverse egotism” is bragging about what you don’t have and can’t do. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to carry out all these reversals, as well as any other constructive or amusing reversals you can dream up.

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

Poet Emily Dickinson once revealed to a friend that there was only one Commandment she ever obeyed: “Consider the Lilies.” Japanese novelist Natsume Soseki told his English-speaking students that the proper Japanese translation for “I love you” is Tsuki ga tottemo aoi naa, which literally means “The moon is so blue tonight.”

In accordance with current astrological omens, Pisces, I’m advising you to be inspired by Dickinson and Soseki. More than any other time in 2018, your duty in the coming weeks is to be lyrical, sensual, aesthetic, imaginative and festively nonliteral.
