Mind Your Manners

Today at the Marin Farmers’ Market in San Rafael, I had a lady of a certain age tell me to get out of the way, and that I was blocking the path. I had my back to her and couldn’t see her coming.

When I turned to make room, she passed me by quickly with a huff.

Mind you, it’s 9am on a Sunday morning.

I grew up in San Francisco at a time when my mother would wear gloves to go into “the City” and you dressed up if you were flying. Yes, I know those times are gone, but really? You can’t even back out of a parking space in a strip mall in Marin without encountering “the bird.”

At a Whole Foods in Mill Valley, I had a lady run over my foot with her shopping cart. “Excuse me,” I said sarcastically. She said, “Yeah, excuse you.” Lady, you obviously didn’t grow up in a big city or with any sense of decorum. You’re better suited for a zoo.

Pot lobbyists push pols to take a puff and get on with the expungements By Jonah Raskin and Tom Gogola

A

t the annual California Citizen Lobby Day on June 5, cannabis activists from the North Bay gathered in Sacramento to speak to their elected officials. The representatives listened politely, though they made no promises.

Earlier in the day, at the appropriately named Citizen Hotel on J Street, cannabis advocates, cannabis lawyers, cannabis doctors and cannabis users listened to speakers who talked about the complex and often contradictory world of legal weed in California.

Dale Gieringer, director of California National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), told the audience that “two-thirds of the municipalities in the Golden State have no legal pot dispensaries” and that “there’s a crackdown on cannabis cultivation from one end of the state to the other.”

Of the 600 bills that came before the California State Legislature this session, 60 were about cannabis: cannabis delivery services, cannabis dispensaries, cannabis for pets, cannabis and employment and the removal of felony cannabis

convictions from criminal records in California.

According to Gieringer, there are 100,000 felony convictions on the books for cannabis in California. Senate Bill 1793, which was introduced in January 2018 by East Bay Sen. Rob Bonta, would make the expungement process the responsibility of the state attorney general, not county district attorneys.

Localities have taken up the cause nonetheless, and technology has sprung to the fore as the solution: a San Francisco company has developed an algorithm to assist

local district attorneys in their efforts to expunge cannabis convictions as part of the Proposition 64 cannabislegalization reform.

Code for America, a San Francisco nonprofit, is now working with San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón as his office sifts through thousands of felony and misdemeanor pot convictions with an eye toward clearing residents' criminal records when they can.

Under Proposition 64, persons convicted on pot charges can apply to have their cases expunged.

“California has decriminalized recreational cannabis use,” says Gascón in a statement, “but a marijuana conviction continues to serve as a barrier to employment, housing, student loans and more. . . . Until we clear these records, it’s government that is effectively holding these people back and impeding public safety. I’m hopeful that this partnership will inspire many prosecutors who have cited resource constraints to join this common-sense effort and provide this relief.”

Gascón’s move did eventually inspire Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch to reverse course on her initial opposition to the pro-active expungement process initiated by her big-city peer.

All three candidates in the race to replace outgoing Marin County District Attorney Edward Berberian this year supported the proactive expungement move undertaken by Gascón, and pledged to undertake a similar process in Marin County.

At last count this week, Marin County Deputy District Attorney Lori Frugoli was beating her two opponents, badly, in the race for Marin district attorney, but hadn’t eclipsed the 50 percent vote threshold that would give her the outright victory (she was holding at about 49 percent as of Tuesday afternoon).

Elizabeth Smith, head of marketing at Code for America, says that the hope is to “get it to the point where we are working with enough counties this year that we could clear up to 250,000 convictions.” That figure represents the number of felony and misdemeanor convictions currently on the books in California.

So how does the algorithm work? Code for America and Gascón’s office have agreed to let the nonprofit “pilot a product that allows a government agency, like a district attorney's office, to determine eligibility for »8

By Nancy Shane, Au.D, Doctor of Audiology

O

ne of Marin General Hospital’s oldest, busiest, and most vital programs — speech and audiology — has just moved to a new, off campus location.

Marin General Hospital’s Speech and Audiology program is now located at 1350 Eliseo Drive, Suite 130. For more information, call 1-415-925-7220.

We’re thrilled about this new phase in our program. Our 50-year old clinic has always been located in the hospital, but this move to our increased sized-clinic will allow for decreased patient wait times and ample parking – just steps from the clinic door. What’s more, our new space is outfitted with the latest technology and Audiology equipment.

The location change also gives us a chance to remind the community about the specialized services we offer to people of all ages, from newborn to older adults — in the diagnosis and management of hearing issues and hearing loss.

Did you know? In the U.S., approximately 37.5 million people say they have trouble hearing. In addition, 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 babies born in this country have a detectable hearing loss in at least one ear.

This keeps us busy for sure. A large portion of our patients consists of newborns who, according to California law, must all be given a hearing screening shortly after birth. Due to a small volume of births annually, many smaller

hospitals in Northern California do not provide this service so parents must go to a Certified Outpatient Infant Hearing Screening Provider, such as Marin General Hospital, to have their newborns tested.

We also evaluate and treat many children and young adults for potential hearing and speech issues such as language delays, articulation disorders, oral motor development, language, and fluency. Marin General Hospital is 1 of only 3 providers in the Bay Area that offers these services to newborns, infants, toddlers, and older children covered by California Children’s Services (CCS).

We’re happy to report that in comparison to other local facilities, our program offers shorter wait times for patients who need these services.

For our adult patients, we also provide evaluations and therapy for a full range of speech pathology and audiology issues, such as: hearing or speech problems as a result of stroke, head trauma, neurological diseases, or degenerative neurological conditions.

Many of our patients have been referred to us by their physicians to be tested for 2 of the most common causes of hearing loss — age and noise. As we age, our hearing ability diminishes — more than half of us will experience significant hearing loss by the time we are in our 80s. Hearing loss can also be a consequence of exposure to all the loud noises we hear every day, from noise at work to the loud music we love at live concerts.

Did you know? A person affected by hearing loss waits an average of 7 years before seeking treatment. Hearing loss can result in lower quality of life, depression, social isolation, unemployment, and even a higher risk of falls.

The good news is that help for hearing loss is available. We offer patients experiencing the first signs or worsening signs of hearing loss not only hearing screenings, but also evaluation and consultations for obtaining hearing aids.

Feedback from our patients is that the comfortable, non-commercial environment and the expertise our professional audiologists provide gives them an extra measure of confidence when the time comes to choose a hearing device.

Here are a few tips to keep your age-related hearing loss from getting worse: • Avoid too much loud noise. If you have to shout over it, it’s probably too loud.

• If you can’t avoid the noise, take steps to limit the time you are exposed to it, both outdoors and indoors.

• If you cannot avoid loud sounds, wear hearing protection such as ear plugs, ear muffs or noise cancelling headphones.

• Buy appliances and other devices that have a low noise rating.

record clearance under state law, automatically fill out the required forms and generate a completed motion in PDF format. The [San Francisco District Attorney’s office] will then proceed to file the completed motion with the court.

The process will be applied to all 4,940 felony marijuana convictions dating back to 1975.”

That move would go a long way toward enhancing civil rights for cannabis users caught up in laws that are no longer the law of the land.

As Gieringer explained, NORML is pushing hard for expanded civil rights, including in its pitch to lawmakers that there be no obligatory drug testing by employers. He’d like to see a greater embrace of the opportunity legalization has provided to use cannabis to help end addiction to opioids. Meanwhile, organized labor is also high on legalization. The Service Employees International Union thinks that workers ought to have the legal right to smoke marijuana on their own time, away from work, in much the same way that people enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine. Workers of the world, light up!

Matt Hummell, the chair of the Cannabis Regulatory Commission in Oakland, explained at the Citizen Lobby Day that the marijuana black market is thriving in the East Bay because rents are so steep that many wannabe dispensary owners can’t afford to enter the legitimate cannabis business. That’s a problem that resonates in Marin and Sonoma counties as well.

The former county has basically succumbed to a NIMBY rampage by self-appointed moral scolds when it comes to brick-and-mortar pot shops. Sonoma County has taken a more accommodating posture to the advent of legalization, but the red tape around licensing requirements has been a huge disincentive for growers to come out of the proverbial shadows.

“It’s a struggle to get a permit,” Hummell said. “At the same time, big money for the cannabis industry has flooded the city.”

One longtime Bay Area cannabis cultivator said he was disgruntled by the legalization rollout and wouldn’t and apply for a permit.

“I’m willing to take a chance,” he said.

“It’s an act of civil disobedience.’ Y

NEW S BRIEFS

MountTam Blues

North Bay State Sen. Mike McGuire is worried. Very worried. He’s checking his go-bag, he says. He’s been attending fire summits around Marin County this season, and the news from the just-reelected senator from Healdsburg is that the Mt. Tamalpais watershed is “overdue” for an inevitable trial by fire.

McGuire issued his warning to a reporter last week just as Cal Fire was about to release its latest findings on last year’s epically scary fire season, which destroyed vast tracts of homes and property in the North Bay. Cal Fire is putting the finger on PG&E, officially, as of Friday, as the culprit in a dozen fires from 2017.

Cal Fire reported that the strong winds on Oct. 8, 2017, knocked trees onto PG&E-owned power lines, and caused at least 12 of the October fires. Of those 12, investigators found evidence of possible violations of state law for eight of them. They referred the reports for these eight to local district attorneys for further scrutiny. The findings may open PG&E to billions of dollars in liability. The largest utility company in the state is investor-owned and already faces over a hundred lawsuits and $100 million in insurance claims from the damage the fires have done.

According to Cal Fire, more than 170 fires broke out across Northern California in early October last year.

Cal Fire determined that fires in Butte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma counties were caused by electric power and distribution lines, conductors and the failure of power poles.

“It’s disappointing and deeply concerning that alleged violations of state law led to devastating fires across my district,” said Napa State Sen. Bill Dodd in a statement late last week. “I’m calling on PG&E, utilities across the state and the Public Utilities Commission to step up and ensure they are meeting their legal obligations to maintain power lines in a safe manner. It’s inexcusable and it can’t be allowed to happen again.”

Dodd has two bills that passed the senate and await committee hearings in the Assembly.

“SB 901 requires electric utilities to update their wildfire-mitigation plans to include policies and procedures for determining if, when and where to temporarily de-

energize a power line during harsh weather,” Dodd says in a statement.

SB 1088 would meanwhile build a framework for strengthening utility infrastructure.

PG&E pushed back against the Cal Fire report late last week. “The loss of life, homes and businesses in these extraordinary wildfires is simply heartbreaking,” says utility spokesperson Deanna Contreras, “and we remain focused on helping communities recover and rebuild.

We look forward to the opportunity to carefully review all of the Cal Fire reports to understand the agency’s perspectives. Based on the information we have so far, we continue to believe our overall programs met our state’s high standards.”

Cal Fire’s report did not include the Tubbs fire, which took 24 lives and burned down more than 4,650 homes in Santa Rosa. PG&E blames power lines belonging to a private homeowner for that one. Cal Fire has yet to identify the culprit.

Investigators have not yet officially determined the cause of the Tubbs fire in Sonoma County.

Death Row Blues

Jarvis Jay Masters, the Buddhist author and death row inmate on San Quentin, has linked up with the American Civil Liberties Union and the organization Witness to Innocence and is suing the state of California over its new lethal injection regulations. Master has maintained his innocence in a capital charge that stemmed from the murder of a corrections guard at San Quentin almost 40 years ago. In a statement, the Committee to Free Jarvis Masters says the inmate “would like everyone to look at this case in a way that makes it personal—he will be the human being that all these ‘protocols’ will be done to kill him. He wants to make it real and urgent.” Earlier this year, the state unveiled a new single-drug protocol that would use either pentobarbital or thiopental to execute the condemned.

One of Masters’ biggest supporters is American Buddhist and author Pema Chodron, who will visit the inmate this month, according to Masters’ Marin County support network. —Tom Gogola

goats, chicken and sheep live a good life, while a pair of on-point cattle dogs keep any of the critters from straying too far. Pasture-based means just that—the animals scratch, forage and root about as they were born to do. No cages here. You’ll find Green Star’s stuff at the Sebastopol farmers’ market and Andy’s Market; for extra convenience, there is Green Star meat subscription—a box of protein delivered to your door throughout California or available at five pick-up locations in Sonoma County. Feeding a crowd? Whole animals are available for sale. Go whole hog! greenstarfarm.com.

Hamburger Buns

When Green Star Farm says their operation is pasture-based, they mean it.

What follows is our grilling dream team of all the best fixings—meat, cheese, buns, pickles, condiments and even fuel from across the North Bay. We know it’s unlikely that you’ll travel the region to acquire all of these provisions, but isn’t it cool to know that you could? Even if you just pick up a few of these signature ingredients and products, you’re sure to elevate your grilling game.

Of course, there are more than a few wine and beer choices in the North Bay. We’ll leave that part up to you, but do check out James Knight’s rundown of barbecuefriendly Zinfandel in this week’s Swirl (p14).

So here’s to summer, friends and good local food on the grill!

The Meat of the Matter

You have to start with the best,

which is why a proper North Bay grill fest must honor the sturdy and multi-platform meat emporium that is Marin Sun Farms. Right out of the gate, the grillable ground beef is consistently leaps and bounds beyond the corporate ground chuck routine, with all of that allowable water content and antibiotic back-bite. Blech. A typical Marin Sun burger, drawn from humane pastures and dales, has hints of sirloin to go with a juicy, bloody disposition that is at once all-natural and viscerally pleasurable.

The Marin Sun Farms corporate philosophy is just right: all of their animals are pasture-raised on a local family farm, the cows are lovingly embraced until their last and final date with destiny, and the fat-tomeat ratio is absolutely exquisite when it comes to grillability. The North Bay staple sells chickens and lamb, too, and operates a restaurant and butcher shop in Point Reyes Station and also in Oakland. It’s

worth noting that the Marin Sun Petaluma abattoir is the only one in the Bay Area, and that ain’t no slaughterhouse jive. May the Marin Sun forever shine on your barbecue. marinsunfarms.com.

In scenic Tomales, Stemple Creek Ranch has been in the Poncia family for four generations. The beef here is certified organic, grass-fed and grass-finished. For hamburger lovers, gift boxes are ready for purchase online; premade patties supplemented with smoked maple bacon or, if you prefer to ground it yourself, various cuts can be shipped as well. For a face-to-face meat encounter, head to the website to find a list of retailers and farmers’ markets, many of them in Marin County. stemplecreek.com.

Sebastopol’s Green Star Farm is just what you want it to be: a diversified, pasture-based operation on several rolling acres overseen by conscientious farmers Sarah Silva and Marc Felton. The pigs,

San Rafael’s Bordenave’s bakery celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, marking its 1918 inception

by French immigrant Frank Bordenave. Originally, Bordenave was exclusively into French-style sourdough, but with the years, the bakery’s selection has grown to include hamburger and hot dog buns, croissants and different pastries. While a good portion of its business is wholesale, the storefront supplies the customers with pillowy, soft hamburger buns that make perfect bookends for sophisticated hamburgers. There’s onion, seeded brioche, multi-seed and even whole wheat, plus your old-school plain. bordenavesbakery.com.

Seems like no matter where we go these days, Ray’s Delicatessen and Tavern in Petaluma keeps popping up as the place with the soft-inside, kind-of-crunchy-outside rolls, baked on-site and, not coincidentally, known as a Ray’s Roll on the menu. Ray’s has been around since grandpa met Douglas MacArthur on a bomb-cratered Micronesian airstrip—which is to say it’s been in business since 1946.

The joint has hole-in-the-wall appeal in Petaluma, and the menu is chocked with sandos loaded down with local ingredients and juicy meats—Reubens, Rachels, corned beef. You need a sturdy roll to stand up to a proper Reuben, and Ray’s has bragging rights. The funny thing about Ray’s is that the only burger on the menu is a veggie burger slathered with a pesto Aioli. Skip the sawdust patty, can we get a tub of that to go? rays-deli.com.

It’s hard not to appreciate the melting qualities and childhood memories inspired by a molten slice of Kraft cheese draped over a burger patty. But given that we live in a dairy dreamland of artisanal cheesemakers, it seems downright ungrateful to not reach for one of the North Bay’s great homegrown cheeses.

We like the tang of a cheddar and blue cheese. First choice is St. Jorge cheese from Santa Rosa’s Joe Matos Cheese Factory. It’s full-flavored and melts like a champ. Best is the trip out a dirt road to the no-frills creamery off Llano Road. This is the real deal. facebook.com/Joe-MatosCheese-Factory-1530291580548953.

Tell us where it says you can’t put sauerkraut on a hamburger?

Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. reigns supreme in the blue

category. A generous crumble of the salty, funky goodness takes your burger to another level. Established in 2000, the farm and creamery is the heritage business of the Giacomini family, originally from Northern Italy. The cheese is made on a farm in West Marin, under the supervision of head cheesemaker Kuba Hemmerling, and is made with unpasteurized cow’s milk. For a punch of flavor, go for the Original Blue, the winner of many regional and nationwide awards. For a more delicate touch on your patty, opt for Bay Blue, a rustic, mildly moldy cheese reminiscent of Stilton. pointreyescheese.com.

Pick a Pickle

Hey, we’re pretty much regular folks, just like the next red-blooded American on a fixed North Bay income, and we’re not the type to turn our noses up at adequate supermarket-aisle dill pickles, or humble yellow mustard out of the

squeeze-bottle, for that matter.

But there’s no getting around it: Sonoma Brinery does bring out our inner topping snob—it is priced to do so, after all—and, in a moment of culinary punk-rock reminiscent of the late Anthony Bourdain, the company has us reaching for a square tub of their probiotic sauerkraut, too. Tell us where it says you can’t put sauerkraut on a hamburger? We’re headed to parts unknown in your honor, Tony. sonomabrinery.com.

Purists might claim that a quality patty needs no company, but we commoners know that condiments, pickles and additions just make a good hamburger better. At Pig in a Pickle, a full-flung barbecue spot in Corte Madera, smoked meats are the speciality. But condiments, barbecue sauces and pickles are made in-house and available to be taken home for your grill party, and chef Damon Stainbrook will even cater your backyard barbecue. Stainbrook is behind all of the creations, from the rubs to the pickles, and you can trust his judgment: among the chef ’s career stints are a grill cook at barbecuecentric One Market Restaurant in San Francisco and a sous chef position under Thomas Keller at the iconic French Laundry.

At Pig in a Pickle, though, Stainbrook sticks to the basics and does it remarkably well. Start with the sauces, each inspired by a region from the South: there’s a Memphisstyle sauce, a mustard sauce from South Carolina, a tangy North Carolina condiment and a habañero Alabama white sauce. Then, take home a few jars of pickles and maybe even a Marin Kombucha to cool yourself down before the hot sauces hit the burger. piginapickle.com.

Lettuce,Tomato, Onion

As we plunder our burger for its local source code, ingredient hackers on alert for the freshest local toppings, let us turn our attention to greenery as rendered at Big Mesa Farm, which offers 10 acres of organic industriousness where one can at once glamp and spend some time in the fields picking lettuce.

little gem. Live a little and float a frond of each on your burger.

Big Mesa sells around the North Bay, and their produce is in use at Farm Burger in San Anselmo, in case there was any question about burger-friendliness when it comes to Big Mesa lettuce. bigmesafarm.com.

Need more fresh goodness? Little Wing Farm is back in action after a devastating fire and now operates an honor-system farm stand in the shadow of Black Mountain along Pt. Reyes-Petaluma Road. See if proprietor Molly Myerson has some seasonal tomatoes or onions to round out the trifecta of vegetative toppings.

While it’s early in the season yet, be on the lookout for dry-farmed tomatoes from Santa Rosa’s Quetzal Farm. The stingy application of water means the tomatoes must dig deep for hydration. The result is an uncommonly intense, umamiloaded, beefy tasting tomato that is fantastic on a burger or great all by itself. localharvest.org/quetzalfarm-M3969.

Get Saucy

A burger slopped with spicy baked beans sounds good right about now, especially if it’s topped with smoked bacon and a few splashes of the hyper-local barbecue sauce Saucin’.

This silky, tangy ’cue sauce is courtesy of Santa Rosan Matt Werle, who’s also a California highway patrolman,

family man and Overseer of the Family Grill. This is a family recipe, produced by a family business, available at Pacific Market and elsewhere. saucinsauces.com.

Now, for a no-nonsense, locally rendered hot sauce, any respectable grill-meister with an ear tuned to the diverse splendor of the North Bay has to go with Tia Lupita. The hot sauce is the labor of love of Tiburon’s Hector Salvidar, who named his sauce after his mother, and whose online business presence comes complete with the cheering hashtag #makehotsaucegreatagain.

Salvidar, who hails from Sacramento by way of Mexico, offers his tonguetickling tincture at Oliver’s Market and elsewhere around the region. tialupitahotsauce.com.

Fuel for the Fire

Charcoal and gas are fine, but given that the North Bay is wine and apple country, why not add the very essence of those signature crops to your cookout? Apple wood is a superior fuel for grilling burgers and just about anything else. Apple-wood grilled salmon is sublime. Grape wood, gathered from vine cuttings or an uprooted vine, excels as a smoking wood but is best for grilling.

As you serve an apple- or grapewood grilled burger, ask your guests if they can pick up the taste of the North Bay. Finding a farmer who will sell you some wood is part of the fun.Y

Four takes on four Zinfandel wines

By James Knight

S

onoma County is, in terms of Zinfandel acreage, a distant second to San Joaquin County, home to some pretty decent Lodi Zinfandel and maybe a portion of the Central Valley’s inland sea of white Zinfandel. But Zin’s good reputation for red wine quality, outside of a few notable spots around the state, has a more than 150-year record here.

Kenwood Vineyards’ 2014 Sonoma County Zinfandel ($18) may be the kind of uncomplicated, tangy and redfruited hamburger washer that many people think about when they think Zin, but it’s just the beginning.

Kenwood’s 2013 Six Ridges Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel ($26) is the epitome of that valley’s Zin style. Wine-soaked wood and Mexican chocolate spices, cinnamon and vanilla, kick up a blackberry-flavored sipper that’s not too tangy, not too tannic—just right.

A darker, more brooding Zin, if you will, Kenwood’s 2014 Jack London Vineyard Sonoma Mountain

Zinfandel ($28), comes from the northeast-facing flank of a dark, brooding mountain. This wine teases with fruit and spice scents of raspberry and bergamot—patchouli, maybe.

Here, a wave of sweet red berry flavor carries furry tannins across the tongue.

Sidebar Cellars’ 2016 Russian River Valley Zinfandel ($28) contains less Zin than the previous vintage, which was labeled as a “red blend,” with 78 percent it makes the varietal cut (75 percent is required by law). Part of the charm, but also the intangible value, of old-vine Zinfandel plantings is that they include a hodgepodge of accessory vines. This wine comes from a vineyard originally planted in 1890, and contains Petite Sirah, along with outliers like Beclan, Peloursin, Plavac Mali, Palomino and Monbadon.

Why all of those other grapes? Well, in this wine the combination makes for a palate-coating yet surprisingly supple mix of blackcurrant and boysenberry liqueur flavors—maybe those forefathers knew best, after all.Y

Veteran musician Essence Goldman and novice songwriter Bernie Dalton became close friends after Dalton’s diagnosis.

The Voice Band plays on for aspiring songwriter struck down by ALS

By Charlie Swanson

J

ust when Bernie Dalton was ready to sing, his voice was taken from him.

Dalton, a surf-crazed Santa Cruz native and single father who cleaned pools for a living, always had a passion for music.

In January 2016, he responded to a Craigslist ad for vocal lessons from veteran San Francisco singersongwriter Essence Goldman.

“When I met Bernie, he wanted to pursue his songwriting after having a lifelong dream,” Goldman says.

For two months, Dalton drove from Santa Cruz into the city once a week and worked with Goldman on voice lessons while showing her his original song ideas. Two months

after starting the lessons, his voice mysteriously disappeared. “We didn’t know what it was,” Goldman says.

Dalton still came for lessons and continued to share his lyrics with Goldman, and the two connected not only over his music, but also as two single parents, developing a platonic camaraderie. Goldman even began giving vocal lessons to Dalton’s teenage daughter, Nicole.

“We became friends, we talked about life,” Goldman says. “When you work with someone on their songs, you get to know them, and it’s a very personal experience.”

Time passed, but Dalton was not getting better. In fact, he was getting worse, having trouble swallowing,

losing weight, drooling. He went to a doctor and, after a series of tests, was diagnosed in early 2017 with bulbar-onset ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The life expectancy for people with bulbaronset ALS is one to three years.

Dalton was 47 years old.

“It was devastating to watch this happen to somebody so sweet, so down-to-earth, so generous in spirit,” Goldman says. “He is just such a good human being, and you don’t meet people like that very often.”

Immediately, Goldman set out to help Dalton by setting up a GoFundMe page to raise money.

Originally, Goldman planned it as a fundraiser to send Dalton and his

daughter on a trip together, but Dalton wanted something else. He wanted to make an album, and he wanted Goldman to be his voice.

“He started mailing me handwritten lyrics and asked me to put them to music,” says Goldman.

At first, she hesitated, as she was already working on her own album.

She agreed to do a song or two.

“I sat down and I did one song, and it poured right out,” says Goldman. “It was a very amazing moment. I channeled a different voice I had never used before—I felt like I was trying to share his voice.”

Moved by the initial experience and an outpouring of GoFundMe support that totaled over $27,000, Goldman put her own project on hold and called her band members, guitarist Roger Rocha and drummer Daniel Berkman, to record a full album of Dalton’s lyrics.

“Bernie was instrumental in our creative process,” says Goldman.

Dalton was on hand for the recording sessions, delivering input via a dry erase board and by giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to melodies. »16

The project became known as Bernie & the Believers, and the album, Connection, was released in February with a concert at Slim’s in San Francisco.

“It was the most prolific creative collaboration I’ve ever been part of by far,” Goldman says. “It had a life force all its own. This is a real-life dramatic tale that has a soundtrack.”

One of those in attendance at that show was Howard Sapper, a musicindustry veteran whose credits include CEO of Global Pacific Records, the Harmony Festival and Extrordinaire Media.

A longtime resident of Sonoma County, Sapper currently books live music at the new Reel Fish Shop & Grill in town while also running his own nonprofit, Everybody Is a Star, which helps artists and musicians with special needs achieve their dreams of performing.

“Essence was a client of mine years ago. I’m a big believer in her gifts,” Sapper says. “I went down to see the album release at Slim’s. It was very powerful. I started thinking to myself, this project needs to be seen and heard in a big way.”

Dalton’s story has found an audience through features on NPR’s All Things Considered and in the San Francisco Chronicle, and Sapper recently reached out to the ALS Association Golden West Chapter, covering California and Hawaii, to organize a benefit concert featuring Goldman fronting Bernie & the Believers.

The show takes place at the Reel in Sonoma on Friday, June 15.

Today, Dalton is confined to a bed at St. Mary’s hospital in San Francisco, and is only able to communicate with an eye-tracking device. While he will not be able to attend the show in Sonoma, his spirit will reverberate through the band.

“Bernie, through this project, has had a lot of grace and a lot of reason to fight and stay alive,” Sapper says.

“Every challenge has a blessing that comes with it, and the challenge of Bernie’s disorder came with the blessing of meeting Essence and being able to bring his gift as a songwriter forward.” Y

Saila’s Kariat’s ‘The Valley’ reveals the cost of success can be as high as that of failure.

FILM

Valley of the Dulls Guess what? Money can’t buy love

By Richard von Busack

H

igh-tech CEO Neal Kumar (Alyy Khan) is unveiling a new program called Augur, that predicts the future behavior of people based on their past.

Forearmed with such technology, he still can’t foresee the ruin of his family, a disaster that will leave him where the film begins: alone on a seaside cliff with a pistol.

The Valley, by Bay Area director Saila Kariat, shares the concerns of Atom Egoyan’s great Sweet Hereafter: Its center is the case of a methodical man who, despite his plans, is unable to heal the irreparable breach in his family. Neal’s daughter Maya (Agneeta Thacker) plunged to her death from a dorm window, and this tragedy forced the exec to distract his blinkered gaze from the company that made him wealthy. This distraction has consequences. Neal is only middle-aged, but in his industry, that counts as old.

The father tries to hunt down the cause of his daughter’s misery and finds only inconclusive clues.

Maya was an underachiever, unlike her more accomplished older sister, Monica (Salma Khan); her grades

were slipping, and she had a brush with drunken partiers that might have led to something worse after she passed out. Finally, she was more drawn to literature than tech.

As the daughter of a first-generation immigrant, this taste for fiction would be hard to forgive.

The seriously meta-title is deserved, and that’s not just because of the extensive locations from San Jose’s Japantown to San Jose State University, where Kariat studied film. Like Mira Nair’s The Namesake and Around the Bay by Alejandro Adams, The Valley gets at the angst of high tech with an almost burning acuteness, with the constant work and the price of it as alienation at home.

Kariat has a fine team of international actors, from Suchitra Pillai as Neal’s neglected wife, Roopa, to longtime Western movie actor Barry Corbin as an executive who warns Neal that he’s losing ground at the company. In The Valley, Kariat demonstrates that the cost of success can be just as high as the price of failure. Y ‘The Valley’ is available on demand.

Trey G. Riley, left, and Mike Pavone explore what it means to be ‘too white’ and ‘not black enough’ in the excellent ‘Honky.’

STAGE

Black and White ‘Honky’ is a farce with a message

By Harry Duke

PacificSun.com

SERVING MARIN COUNTY FOR 55 YEARS

The longest serving arts & news weekly in America!

‘E

veryone’s a little bit racist” sing the puppets in the musical Avenue Q. Playwright Greg Kalleres takes that thought and runs with it in Honky at Left Edge Theatre.

It opens up with a commercial for Skymax 16, the latest craze in athletic footwear. It ends with the tagline “S’up now?” which we soon learn is the last thing said to a black teen before he’s killed for the shoes.

Lights up on the office of Davis Tallison (Mike Pavone), the white president of a company that makes footwear “by black people for black people.” Thomas Hodge (Trey G. Riley) is there to unveil his latest design and is aghast to learn that sales of the 16s have exploded in the white youth community since the shooting.

Tallison announces the new 17s will now be marketed to them. Hodge is furious that something he created for “his people” has become bastardized and seeks some sort of retribution.

Enter Peter Trammel (Mark Bradbury), whose issues about the commercial’s impact have led him to a therapist (Liz Rogers-Beckley) with her own issues. In a coincidence that

only occurs to writers, she happens to be Hodge’s brother. Credulity is further strained when Hodge runs into Peter’s fiancée (Lydia Revelos) and sees a way for some payback, but credulity really shouldn’t be an issue in a play with a subplot involving a new pharmaceutical cure for racism with side effects that lead to visions of a lusty Abraham Lincoln (Nick Christenson) and a foul-mouthed Frederick Douglass (Julius Rea).

Part absurdist farce and part blistering social commentary, Honky is more about racial identity than racism. The play explores feelings of being “too white” or “not black enough” and deftly combines that with swipes at our consumerist society where discrimination is masked as “marketing” and stereotypes are just “demographics.”

Funny, infuriating, profane and profound, shows like Honky don’t play on wine country stages that often. Catch it while you can.Y NOW PLAYING: Honky runs through July 1 at Left Edge Theatre. 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa. Friday– Saturday, 8pm; Sunday, 2pm. $25–$40.

Q:

I’m doing some work on my landlady’s house. She just cannot figure out what color to paint it. Now, when a man paints his house, he goes to Home Depot, grabs a few cans of paint and starts right in. Simple. Git ’er done.

Not so with a woman. She’ll agonize endlessly over a bunch of paint chips. She’ll finally make a decision, but even then, it’s subject to change without notice. So, my question: Has anyone analyzed this phenomenon and found a connection with, you know, a woman’s “time of the month”?—Handydude

A:

Some people are just irritating. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their ovaries.

Women’s house paint preferences, sadly, have not been a prolific area of scientific study. However, there was a bunch of research suggesting that women’s mate preferences shift with their hormone levels during the menstrual cycle—for example, findings that women went for more masculine faces in the fertile phase of their cycle. But there was a problem. These studies had too-small sample sizes and other methodological shortcomings, which can lead to false positives. When psychologist Benedict Jones and his colleagues ran a long-term study to check these findings using more rigorous methodology, they found “no compelling evidence that preferences for facial masculinity track changes in women’s hormonal status.”

However, there do seem to be sex differences in decision-making. These differences emerge before the menstruation years, note neurobiologist Ruud van den Bos and his colleagues (referencing others’ research on seven-to-nine-year-old children). Their own research finds that men and women show “small but consistent differences in decision-making” that appear related to sex differences in the brain—in informationprocessing and emotion regulation. Women appear to be “more sensitive” to potential losses (effects of bad choices) which, in turn, might make an individual woman more hesitant to settle on a choice. (No choose, no lose!)

The truth is, there are times when we all have difficulty making a choice. Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that we (men and women) are driven to protect ourselves from regret: the pain of blaming ourselves for making the wrong choice. Fear of regret makes choosing especially challenging when we have a bunch of options without meaningful differences, like eight slightly different shades of off-white house paint.

As for your observation about the chop-chop way men choose a paint color, consider that maybe the average dude might not be so picky about the color of his house. If you want to help your landlady, get some techie friend of yours to Photoshop each color onto the house so the final result is less abstract. Suggest she invite friends over for cocktails to help her choose. This isn’t just a social occasion; it’s a regret-minimization tactic allowing her to disperse the blame for any grim post-painting epiphanies.

Q: A:

I’m not a very hairy guy—except in the armpit area. I’ve seen articles recently saying men should shave their armpit hair. Really? Do women go for this, or (sorry!) do they maybe think you’re gay?—Fur Pits

Your body hair should not tell a story—like that Fidel Castro and Osama bin Laden actually aren’t dead; they’re hiding out in your armpits.

Body-hair removal for men has actually gone pretty mainstream. Psychologist Gareth Terry, in a 2016 paper exploring attitudes about male body-hair removal, found that gay, straight and bisexual men and women saw male body hair as masculine and “natural” . . . to a point—the point at which they found it “excessive” and thus disgusting.

In the armpit hair arena, when psychologist Michael S. Boroughs surveyed 18-to-44year-old American men, he found that 40 percent did some manscaping. Of these men, 62 percent just “reduced” the hair, and 38 percent removed it. (He didn’t separate out sexual preference, but I would guess a good chunk of those balding their pits were gay men.)

Sure, some women might be into the Mr. Gorilla Pits thing. But trimmed hair grows back. Disgust is hard to reverse. So grab an electric beard clipper. Prune the hair down to an inch or half-inch or so (making it look short and neat but not like you went to some armpit coiffure place). As a guideline, there’s this: If you’re taking a woman to a forested area, it should require a trip by car or at least on foot, not just lifting one of your arms.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

Astrology

For the week of June 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) My Aries acquaintance Tatiana decided to eliminate sugar from her diet. She drew up a plan to avoid it completely for 30 days, hoping to permanently break its hold over her. I was surprised to learn that she began the project by making a dessert altar in her bedroom, where she placed a chocolate cake and five kinds of candy. She testified that it compelled her willpower to work even harder and become even stronger than if she had excluded all sweet treats from her sight. Do you think this strenuous trick might work for you as you battle your own personal equivalent of a sugar addiction? If not, devise an equally potent strategy. You’re on the verge of forever escaping a temptation that’s no good for you. Or you’re close to vanquishing an influence that has undermined you. Or both.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) You have caressed and finessed the Problem. You have tickled and teased and tinkered with it. Now I suggest you let it alone for a while. Give it breathing room. Allow it to evolve under the influence of the tweaks you have instigated.

Although you may need to return and do further work in a few weeks, my guess is that the Problem’s knots are now destined to metamorphose into seeds.

The awkwardness you massaged with your love and care will eventually yield a useful magic.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) “Whether you

love what you love or live in divided ceaseless revolt against it, what you love is your fate.” Gemini poet Frank Bidart wrote that in his poem “Guilty of Dust,” and now I offer it to you. Why? Because it’s an excellent time to be honest with yourself as you identify whom and what you love. It’s also a favorable phase to assess whether you are in any sense at odds with whom and what you love; and if you find you are, to figure out how to be in more harmonic alignment with whom and what you love. Finally, dear Gemini, now is a key moment to vividly register the fact that the story of your life in the coming years will pivot around your relationship with whom and what you love.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Congratulations on the work you’ve done to cleanse the psychic toxins from your soul, Cancerian. I love how brave you’ve been as you’ve jettisoned outworn shticks, inadequate theories and irrelevant worries. It makes my heart sing to have seen you summon the self-respect necessary to stick up for your dreams in the face of so many confusing signals. I do feel a tinge of sadness that your heroism hasn’t been better appreciated by those around you. Is there anything you can do to compensate? Like maybe intensify the appreciation you give yourself ?

LEO (July 23–August 22) I hope you’re reaching the final stages of your year-long project to make yourself as solid and steady as possible. I trust you have been building a stable foundation that will serve you well for at least the next five years. I pray you have been creating a rich sense of community and establishing vital new traditions and surrounding yourself with environments that bring out the best in you. If there’s any more work to be done in these sacred tasks, intensify your efforts in the coming weeks. If you’re behind schedule, please make up for lost time.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) “Necessity is the mother of invention,” says an old proverb. In other words, when your need for some correction or improvement becomes overwhelming, you may be driven to get creative. Engineer Allen Dale put a different spin on the issue. He said that “if necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is the father.” Sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein agreed, asserting that “progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.”

I’m not sure if necessity or laziness will be your motivation, Virgo, but I suspect that the coming weeks could be a golden age of invention for you.

What practical innovations might you launch?

What useful improvements can you finagle? (P.S.: Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead attributed the primary drive for innovative ideas and gizmos to “pleasurable intellectual curiosity.”)

By Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Would

you have turned out wiser and wealthier if you had dropped out of school in third grade? Would it have been better to apprentice yourself to a family of wolves or coyotes rather than trusting your educational fate to institutions whose job it was to acclimate you to society’s madness? I’m happy to let you know that you’re entering a phase when you’ll find it easier than usual to unlearn any old conditioning that might be suppressing your ability to fulfill your rich potentials.

I urge you to seek out opportunities to unleash your skills and enhance your intelligence.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) The temptation to overdramatize is strong. Going through with a splashy but messy conclusion may have a perverse appeal. But why not wrap things up with an elegant whisper instead of a garish bang? Rather than impressing everyone with how amazingly complicated your crazy life is, why not quietly lay the foundations for a low-key resolution that will set the stage for a productive sequel? Taking the latter route will be much easier on your karma, and in my opinion will make for just as interesting a story.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) Each of us harbors rough, vulnerable, controversial or unhoned facets of our identity.

And every one of us periodically reaches turning points when it becomes problematic to keep those qualities buried or immature. We need to make them more visible and develop their potential. I suspect you have arrived at such a turning point.

So on behalf of the cosmos, I hereby invite you to enjoy a period of ripening and self-revelation. And I do mean “enjoy.” Find a way to have fun.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) For

the next two-plus weeks, an unusual rule will be in effect: The more you lose, the more you gain. That means you will have an aptitude for eliminating hassles, banishing stress and shedding defense mechanisms.

You’ll be able to purge emotional congestion that has been preventing clarity. You’ll have good intuitions about how to separate yourself from influences that have made you weak or angry. I’m excited for you, Capricorn! A load of old, moldy karma could dissolve and disperse in what seems like a twinkling. If all goes well, you’ll be traveling much lighter by July 1.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) I suggest you avoid starting a flirtatious correspondence with a convict who’ll be in jail for another 28 years. OK? And don’t snack on fugu, the Japanese delicacy that can poison you if the cook isn’t careful about preparing it. Please? And don’t participate in a séance where the medium summons the spirits of psychotic ancestors or diabolical celebrities with whom you imagine it might be interesting to converse. Got that? I understand you might be in the mood for high adventure and out-ofthe-ordinary escapades. And that will be fine and healthy as long as you also exert a modicum of caution and discernment.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) I suggest that you pat yourself on the back with both hands as you sing your own praises and admire your own willful beauty in three mirrors simultaneously. You have won stirring victories over not just your own personal version of the devil, but also over your own inertia and sadness. From what I can determine, you have corralled what remains of the forces of darkness into a comfy holding cell, sealing off those forces from your future. They won’t bother you for a very long time, maybe never again. Right now you would benefit from a sabbatical—a vacation from all this highpowered character-building.
