Chuck the Revolutionary

Funny to think of Charles “NRA” Heston being an unwitting revolutionary (“Gorilla Warfare,” July 2). Not the first time he played

straight man without being aware of the joke (clueless gay crush object in Ben Hur). I don’t disagree with the analysis here, but it should be said that none of the original sequels were exactly good movies. Tim Burton’s Planet is destined for the shelf of “never watch again” next to Ang Lee’s Hulk movie. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that Tim Roth is buying up all the copies because he gets a muscle spasm any time someone sees it. Despite any firehose references, the new Rise wholeheartedly replaced genuine political content with CGI. I’ll probably go see Dawn, but my expectations are low.

NORTALLYVia online

Free to PeeWhy is this a story (“Camp Koch,” July 2)? Every year, we’re treated to the same conspiracy/99 percent-ers’ rant; i.e., rich white guys who control the world, have shown up to pee on trees, smoke cigars, burn owls an in general, do what guys do. The horror.

Is it that they’re rich? White? Have views that our county in general disagrees with? You mention Dixie cups and Angel Soft toilet paper, but have you looked in your own kitchen and bathroom lately? Frankly, has any of us?

The larger question is always the same: Do we want to reduce our consumerism to purchase only products made by those who supposedly agree with us in every aspect of life. Oh no, just the biggies: healthcare, abortion, same-sex marriage, immigration, coal burning, and Prius buying, of course. Should we change to Democrat and Republican toilet paper? Should we paint our

houses and dress our children red and blue? I thought we were supposed to be progressive and open? Earth to the people who are angry that some people are rich, choose to smoke cigars and pee in the woods: there are 7 billion–plus people on the planet, and not all of them see the world as you do!

Last week at the amazing Michael Franti and Spearhead concert in Berkeley, I witnessed a crazy spectacle—young, white (and black) girls, peeing in the mens’ bathroom. All of us peeing together, one big happy family. And I didn’t even check who they voted for. Now that’s a story.

Peace Not BombsThe Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County supports the peaceful resolution of conflict in Iraq and opposes any U.S. bombing or military intervention. Some of the dispute can be traced to the 2003 U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. We mourn the deaths of Iraqis, Americans and others. While the resolution is unclear, we hope the U.S. has learned from the recent past, and the pitfalls of military action.

Something FishyIt sounds like George Neillands (“DFW Skeptical of Record Coho Salmon Migration,” June 25, Boho Blog) hasn’t evaluated the data, and yet he’s telling the public to doubt the results. Is he acting as a spokesperson for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or offering his own opinion? The article doesn’t say. I like seeing the Bohemian report on a scientific debate, but not if it’s just speculation by a scientist not involved in the research.

In Praise of Wild Plums BY LOLLY MESCHES

When we first moved to Santa Rosa, a town of 30,000 amid ranches, orchards and redwoods, I didn’t realize that the neighbor

children who were attacking passing cars and yelling, “Throw bombs!” were hurling wild yellow plums.

Later, after we moved deeper into the valley, away from the child soldiers, and settled into country living, I began to roam the fields and noticed the wild yellow plum trees growing without fertilizer and no other water than what was provided by the winter rains and dense foggy nights. The children and I gathered the plums and found them to be tasty when ripe, and we tried to harvest them before the birds devoured them.

Then one day, leafing through Barbara Kafka’s cookbook Microwave Gourmet, I read: “If you find those little gold-yellow plums called mirabelles, cook them for 12 minutes. The jam will be a wonderful yellow color and smell like honey.” Our plums do not smell like honey, but are yellow and edible when cooked with sugar or honey.

Those days when the children and I picked plums and wild berries, and planted tulip bulbs, sugar snap peas, mache, Italian parsley and asparagus fern, have linked me to living more fully. I wake with the rising sun and in the evening look to the west for vivid sunsets. l watch birds build nests, stop to smell the sweet fragrance of daphne blooming in early spring, and much more.

Now the wild yellow plum trees dot the landscape, thanks to the birds who eat them and drop the seeds wherever. The mother tree still stands at the foot of our drive, dropping her fruit when ripe. One day, my husband of 60 years pointed out a wild yellow plum growing in the midst of a large California black oak. The plum pushed her way through the dark dense undergrowth of the oak, seeking the sun. And there she stands near our pond, displaying her white petals, like a beautiful older woman who has just had her hair styled and likes the way she looks.

RantsBy Tom TomorrowTHIS MODERN WORLD

Are You Listening?I’ve recently attended two “community listening” meetings by the Palm Drive Hospital District board of directors. Many people expressed dismay that the board seemed to be promoting everything but reopening the hospital. While concerns for teenage smoking and nutrition are important, the parcel tax initiatives specifically direct hospital funds be spent on acute care and local emergency services.

Many people said they want the hospital reopened, and some wondered how much money was spent by the board on attorneys and PR. Constituents want medical professionals on the board, people who are familiar with the issues facing hospitals today and who are committed to resolving them. More than 15 people left because reopening Palm Drive Hospital was off the table.

One who asked how long the board was going to block the foundation’s plan to reopen the hospital was ruled “out of order.”

Comments by community leaders in a Sonoma County assessment indicate that public safety officers need the hospital to be reopened. The board maintains that the hospital had to be closed, but financial statements indicate that without excessive administrative salaries and expenditures and elimination of a citizen financial review committee, the hospital could have remained open.

We need a real discussion of the facts, not ancillary, choreographed

“brainstorming.” One comment summed it up: a teenager hit by a bus needs immediate ER care, not nutritional or anti-smoking advice.

LET THE SUN IN Sonoma Clean Power’s mandate to develop more local energy appears to be leaning toward solar power.

Paper

Sonoma Clean Power tunes in to new, local energy sources BY TOM GOGOLA

Growing PowerUnder the so-called feed-in

tariff program, renewable-energy applicants will help fulfill a state-mandated goal that requires utilities to provide 33 percent renewable energy by 2020, as Sonoma Clean Power (SCP) promises service that is cheaper and cleaner than PG&E.

The vote comes after recent

moves by the nonprofit utility to strengthen its bank of big-kilowatt renewable sources. In May, the utility rolled out service to its first 25,000 businesses and residents, and SCP just fought off a push in Sacramento to end a piece of the state legislation that created the Community Choice Aggregate model for

Sonoma Clean Power will vote July 10 to add county-generated renewable power

to the new public utility’s energy mix, with a likely emphasis on local solar power. The process is aimed at making good on pledges to create local jobs and energy. The Bohemian started as The Paper in 1978.

THELopez Aftermath Activists in Santa Rosa who organized protests around the police shooting of Andy Lopez last year had a busy and unsatisfying couple of days this week. Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch on Monday said she wouldn’t pursue charges against Sonoma sheriff’s deputy Erick Gelhaus, who shot and killed the 13-year-old Lopez in Roseland last October.

Ravitch’s afternoon press conference was held after her office errantly sent out an e-blast about her decision Monday morning, then took it back in a follow-up email. By then, local media had jumped on the story—and Ravitch was left in the unenviable position of having to call Lopez’s parents with the news after it had already broken.

The Justice Coalition for Andy Lopez (JCAL) had previously scheduled a protest for outside Ravitch’s office early Tuesday afternoon, before any decision had been announced. Activist Mary Moore says she was perplexed by the roll-out of Ravitch’s announcement. Moore had assumed, she says, that the timing of Ravitch’s announcement meant the district attorney would be going for an indictment of Gelhaus, as a way to defang the promised protest.

Monday, Ravitch defended her decision and the investigation, and encouraged Santa Rosa’s Latino population to come together and move forward.

Ravitch said State Attorney General Kamala Harris had been sent a copy of her 52-page report exonerating Gelhaus, and that it was sent to the Sonoma County Grand Jury and the U.S. Department of Justice. Any of those entities might choose to act on the Lopez shooting—and the JCAL pledges to

brownouts. The power company serves all towns and cities in Sonoma County except Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Cloverdale and Healdsburg.

“There are several types of renewable-generation technologies allowed by our feed-in tariff program that are unlikely to participate due to long development lead times,” says Rider. “However, we allow for them within the program to maximize participant flexibility.”

The water agency already has a couple of renewable-fuel projects in its portfolio. In 2011, the agency contracted with a company called OHR Biostar to build a chicken-effluvia “farm to fuel” biogas converter at its wastewater plant on Aviation Boulevard. The agency also utilizes energy from the Petaluma biogas filtration plant, at the county-run landfill. Those projects now send power to the PG&E grid and fuel for county vehicles.

But all signs lead to an emphasis on solar energy to maximize the feed-in tariff renewables, a refrain repeated in online public comments on the SCP site and, notably, by the chair of Sonoma Clean Power’s board of directors, Susan Gorin. “We look forward to the development of new Sonoma County solar that Sonoma Clean Power’s feed-in tariff will facilitate,” says Gorin via email.

public utilities. The legislation, approved by lawmakers in 2001, allows localities such as Sonoma County to create its own utilities. Big Energy fought against the portion of the law that automatically signed customers up for the new utility, known as the “opt-out” option. But PG&E failed to get lawmakers to pass an “opt-in” amendment.

It’s been a busy time for SCP. It made geothermal deals in recent months with the big-industry likes of Calpine and Constellation/Exelon in the Geysers. On the solar front, Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of the Sharp Corp., will provide solar power from an as-yet-unbuilt array in Fresno County.

How will the feed-in tariff work? The utility has $600,000 “for purchasing new, local renewable electricity from entities that enter into a wholesale power purchase agreement,” says Sonoma Clean Power feed-in tariff program manager Amy Rider. “The proposed feed-in tariff allows for as few as three applicants to participate,” she says. “The smaller the projects, the more that can participate.”

The criteria for selection, says Rider, include a demonstration by applicants that “an interconnection agreement with the grid operator [e.g., PG&E] is in progress.” Applicants have to be able to provide wholesale power to the SCP mix.

The state set a standard in 2013 for fuels that can count toward that 33 percent renewable goal: biomass, landfill gas, ocean thermal and tidal currents, small hydroelectric plants, wave power, solar photovoltaic, biodiesel, wind and solar thermal.

The Sonoma County Water Agency tried to get wave power going in the county, but permits were yanked by the feds in 2011. The following year, the water agency’s board of directors moved to create Sonoma Clean Power under the CCA law passed in the wake of the 2001 statewide

“We want the Department of Justice to look at this,” says Moore. —Tom Gogola

Play It, Schroeder After the idea was suggested almost 20 years ago, the Green Music Center will become a reality with the opening of Schroeder Hall.

“Everything on site is now 100 percent complete,” says GMC spokeswoman Jessica Anderson.

The exterior of the 250-seat performance center has been complete since before the 1,400-seat main hall was built, though the interior required about $5 million to finish when the main hall opened two years ago. “I think we all would have liked to have seen it completed sooner,” says Anderson, who suggests that a sluggish economy slowed down donations to the project.

The hall will mostly be used for music education, says GMC co-executive director Zarin Mehta, who has booked a strong lineup for the Aug. 22–24 opening.

Pianist David Benoit, known for his recordings from the Peanuts music library, will perform a private show Friday night for major donors that include Jeanie Schulz, widow of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz (the hall is named after the Beethoven-obsessed character from the comic strip). Joining Benoit through the weekend are pianist Jeffrey Kahane, organist James David Christie with soprano Ruth Ann Swenson, and others.

Green Music Center will also feature a “Sundays at Schroeder” event with up-and-coming musicians. “I want to develop an audience and see what kind of music suits the acoustics best,” says Mehta.—Nicolas Grizzle

STATE OF THE PLATE La Toque’s ‘protest’ lunch included six courses of foie gras prepared by six chefs.

Liver LoversFoes of state foie gras ban stage an edible protest BY STETT HOLBROOK

entries. The lunch, dubbed the “State of American Foie Gras,” was part marketing stunt and part protest. July marks the second anniversary of California’s ban on foie gras, SB 1520. The law prohibits “force feed[ing of] a bird for the purpose of enlarging the bird’s liver beyond normal size” and the sale of foie gras in the state. But it can be given away and imported.

Frank is an outspoken critic of the ban, which he variously calls “stupid,” “unenforceable” and “unfair.” Joining Frank in

the kitchen were five fellow chefs and comrades-in-arms: Patrick Mulvaney of Mulvaney’s Building & Loan in Sacramento, David Bazirgan of San Francisco’s Dirty Habit, Douglas Keane, former executive chef at Cyrus and owner of the Healdsburg Bar & Grill, Victor Scargle of Yountville’s Lucy and Mark Dommen of One Market in San Francisco.

Instead of banning foie gras, Frank said California could lead the way in creating ethical standards for foie gras production. Foie gras is produced by force-

In the annals of civil disobedience, the lunch on July 5 at La Toque in Napa surely

ranks as one of the most delicious—if you like eating fattened duck liver, that is.

Executive chef Ken Frank offered a free, six-course meal at his Michelin one star restaurant. The catch? Diners had to submit a 100-word post on La Toque’s Facebook page on the topic “Why California’s foie gras ban is foolish.”

More than 200 people submitted

feeding ducks through a tube to enlarge their livers.

While guests were mingling, waiters passed tiny duck sausages served on equally petite hot dog buns and a black tea shrub topped with foie gras foam. Once seated, a succession of dishes came out the kitchen that featured foie gras as the star ingredient. Chef Keane served an impossibly rich and creamy parfait of foie gras with a cherry blossom gelée for the first course. The standout for me came a few dishes later: Dommen’s seared foie gras in a light, but deeply delicious duck-dashi consommé.

Duck de Jour, Sonoma Artisan, Hudson Valley Foie Gras and La Belle donated the duck livers and duck. In order to avoid any appearances of selling foie gras, nothing was available for purchase, including the restaurant’s vast selection of wine. Instead, guests brought their own wine and shared glasses of Sauterne, Pinot Gris, sparking wine and other foie-friendly wines. The free-flowing food and wine made for an over-the-top lunch.

So what is the state of American foie gras? The industry appears to be thriving everywhere except in California, but opponents of the ban have been unsuccessful in overturning it. Last August, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a district judge’s refusal to block the law. And the two sides of the debate are sticking by their positions.

Bruce Friedrich, senior policy director for Farm Sanctuary, a national animal rights group that helped enact the ban, called the lunch “a temper tantrum by chefs who are behaving like babies.” He believes there is no way to humanely produce foie gras: “It’s simply not possible to force an animal’s liver to expand by 1,000 percent without the animal being in agony.”

Critics of the ban say ducks and geese naturally gorge themselves and grow their livers in advance of migratory journeys.

“There is no good case that these ducks are mistreated,” says Frank. “We will continue to protest to keep foie gras alive.”

Street of Eats If you need an excuse to get an early jump on the weekend, the Barlow’s Thursday night Street Fair is a good one.

The Barlow, Sebastopol’s quadrant of retail shops, winetasting rooms, breweries and restaurants, debuted the Street Fair last week, and it was a hit. Granted, people were already amassing in advance of the fireworks display at nearby Analy High School, but I’m guessing the crowds will be back every week because of the sheer quantity of good food and drink available.

I counted about 20 food vendors hawking everything from paella to oysters and pizza to Thai food. The streets are blocked off to cars, and dining tables are set up. In addition to scores of food tents, local artists and vendors have a presence at the fair while Barlow-based wineries and restaurants open their doors to the multitudes, too. Live music adds to the street-party vibe.

“I have no reason to go home,” said well-sated fairgoer.

The Barlow Street Fair runs 4–8 pm every Thursday through October 30. —Stett Holbrook

Embittered GiantsThe hopyards meet the redwoods at Fogbelt Brewing BY JAMES KNIGHT

Such a difference between a taste and a tap.

At most winetasting rooms, where alcoholic beverages made on the premises are for sale by the taste, by the glass or to go, serving food is mainly forbidden.

The taprooms of craft breweries, on the other hand, are permitted to dish out nachos and sandwiches, no problem—well, after the usual interminable permitting process, that is. So what’s the difference between the once-popular designation brewpub and the now-ascendant taproom? Seems to be just a matter of taste.

Six tastes of Fogbelt beer, served on a wine barrel stave tray, costs just $6. Owners Paul Hawley and Remy Martin, who grew up in and work in the wine industry, turned a decade-long homebrew hobby into an enterprise that includes growing their own hops (see “The Next Step,” Bohemian, Sept. 18, 2013). Taking over the space briefly occupied by the Wineyard winetasting room, Fogbelt opened in early 2014. The location will never be tops, but the outdoor seating is set back from the road enough, and the coherent interior, furnished with sofas, tables for two and a four-sided, brushed-metal bar, is plenty comfortable.

On a recent visit, the space was filled with the aroma of smoked kielbasa ($6) from Sonoma County Meat Company; other nosh includes nachos ($6), a Mediterranean plate ($5), and nice looking salads ($6–$7) and sandwiches ($7-$8) that round out the menu. Growlers are available to go; local ciders and wine by the glass.

The Armstrong stout, named after local giant the Colonel Armstrong tree, is light-bodied and malty. (Fogbelt beers are named for large and notable redwood trees in the North Coast.) Lost Monarch is a snappy and refreshing take on the Belgian witbier style; the cilantro and Kaffir lime added to spice it up are barely on the horizon of my taste perception. More citrusy still is the Atlas blonde ale. The Del Norte IPA shows off its hops in a sweetly fruity style, with caramel softening the latent sensation of astringency. With nearly as many IBUs (international bittering units, listed on the chalkboard menu, as nearly all breweries are compelled to do these days) as the IPA, Hyperion red ale has the blunt bitterness of an ESB, but a rich, malty and long palate. It’s named for the world’s tallest known tree, and here’s my bet that it becomes Fogbelt’s best-known beer on tap around the Redwood Empire.

Fogbelt Brewing Company, 1305 Cleveland Ave., Santa Rosa. Open Wednesday, 3–9pm; Thursday–Saturday, noon–10pm; Sunday, noon–8pm. 707.978.3400.

The Power of PoopResearchers have discovered an innovative way to

make hydrogen fuel from sewage and sunlight BY HANAE ARMITAGE

It’s midnight on the bottom floor of UCSC’s physical science building. The doors

are locked and the motion-sensor lights have been dim for hours, but doctoral student Hanyu Wang is still in the lab, compelled by a scientific pursuit so gripping, sleep seems trivial.

After five years, Wang and Yat Li, chemistry professor at UCSC, have successfully engineered a device that converts, literally, what we flush down the toilet into a zero-emission hydrogen fuel that could power a rocket ship. But here’s the best part: the hydrogen-based fuel comes from purely natural resources—sunlight and wastewater. In other words, it’s entirely sustainable.

Sustainable, and pretty disgusting—at least, as far as the raw materials go. They’ve made this an unusual and downright odiferous project for Wang, but she does her best to take the funk in stride. Because even though the sewer water smells awful, it contains the cornerstone of the entire operation: a special type of electricity-generating bacteria.

“I like my project a lot,” says Wang. “I really feel like I’m interacting and connecting with the bacteria. I just really enjoy the process.”

Her lab mates, however, don’t share the same connection with the electrogenic bacteria that Wang has forged over the years, and support their fellow researcher from a respectable distance.

“The wastewater always smelled weird when I was working with it,” Wang recalls.

“You’ve smelled the sewer before, right? It was just like that. People didn’t like to go around my bench, because it was just too smelly.”

But it’s all in the name of science. One day, Wang’s research may hugely impact the way we think about energy production.

There is poop-to-power innovation happening in the North Bay too. The Sonoma

MICROBIAL PROCESSING UCSC’s Hanyu Wang worked on the new solar-microbial device for generating hydrogen fuel.

Song Yang

County Water Agency has a couple of rank assets in the renewable-fuels portfolio. In 2011, the agency contracted to build a “farm to fuel” chicken-excrement biogas converter at its wastewater plant. There’s also a Petaluma biogas filtration plant at the county-run landfill. Those systems feed the PG&E grid and create fuel for county vehicles.

In western Marin County, the Straus and Giacomini dairies use methane digesters to convert cow manure to power, enough to run the dairies and put some back on the grid. Best of all, brags the Straus website, the digester takes the stink off the barn as it generates power for owner Albert Straus’ electric car.

But hydrogen packs a bigger wallop as a fuel source. With a potential to power cars and industrial machines without harmful emission, hydrogen is an extremely appealing alternative fuel. Though it’s often touted as a fuel of the future, it’s actually been recognized as a viable energy option for more than 50 years—and NASA has safely used it as a power source for missions since its inception in 1958. With its promise of drastically cut carbon emissions, labs across the country have been working for years to make hydrogen fuel accessible to the masses. So what’s the hold up?

Cost, for one thing—the production of hydrogen fuel has been prohibitively expensive, so far. Which is precisely why the research at Li’s lab stands out: the project runs on sunlight and sewage—two energy sources that are not only cheap but virtually unlimited. Once the device is built, the raw materials cost next to nothing.

“We use what’s naturally available to us—the wastewater and sunlight,” says Wang. “We’re

in golden California, so we take advantage of that.”

The project started in 2009, when Li’s wife, Fang Qian, staff scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, saw potential for a groundbreaking collaboration. Li and Qian both specialize in devices that create hydrogen gas—Li’s using the sun, and Qian’s using bacteria.

Led by Li, the UCSC research team has coupled the two devices—a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) and a microbial fuel cell (MFC)—to make one self-sustaining, water-treating, hydrogen-fuel-producing mega-device. We’ll call the hybrid device the PEC-MFC.

The PEC captures sunlight, and uses its energy to kick-start a process known as electrolysis. During electrolysis, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen, and then released as gas. The MFC not only creates hydrogen gas, but also uses electrogenic bacteria to produce electrical energy. While splitting water to make hydrogen seems reasonable, Li recognized that California is in a drought and

water regulation is tight, so they tweaked their initial approach.

“The idea is to replace the MFC ‘solution’ [pure water and cultured bacteria] with wastewater that contains these kinds of bacteria naturally,” says Li.

To ensure authenticity, researchers swapped the pure

water solution with wastewater directly from the water treatment facility in Livermore, Calif. If you know someone who lives in Livermore, thank them—they may have unknowingly contributed to this research.

Though it may be counterintuitive, Livermore’s dirty water is what makes the clean energy process sustainable. Human wastewater naturally contains organic

material and electricity-generating bacteria.

Separately, the PEC and MFC both require an additional energy boost to drive full-fledged hydrogen production, and the added voltage is pricey. But putting them together creates a symbiotic solution: the bacteria in the MFC feed off of the organic matter in the wastewater, and during digestion, produce energy in the form of electrons. These electrons are channeled to the PEC, supplying the final electrical nudge needed to create the hydrogen fuell source. In that sense, the MFC acts as a battery, providing energy and enabling the PEC to continuously make hydrogen gas. Essentially, as long as wastewater is available to the bacteria in the MFC, the PEC bubbles out hydrogen at a fairly constant rate.

On the flip side, as the PEC splits water, the hydrogen is stored in a cylinder and doled out as useful energy for the MFC. Between the chemical fuel-kick from the PEC and the bacteria-generated electrical jolt from the MFC, the hybridized device can take care of itself. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle that works to balance and propagate its counterpart.

But that’s not to say Li and his

team didn’t experience their share of unique issues. Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, the PEC-MFC simply stopped working. Wang suspects that the different bacteria in each batch of wastewater may have caused the PEC-MFC to briefly misbehave—some pools may have more electrogenic bacteria than other, especially because the wastewater is allocated for a small-scale setup.

“Each batch of wastewater is different. Maybe the bacteria aren’t happy that day, or are feeling lazy. They are live cells—they have their temper too,” Wang jokes. “There wasn’t a clear reason why some batches were better than others. So I’d try again, and it’d work.”

With the overall striking success of the PEC-MFC in the lab, Wang and Li have big plans for future projects. Literally. The ultimate goal is to create a large-scale PEC-MFC that harnesses the same stinky raw materials and functions in the same self-perpetuating cycle—the only difference being the sheer quantity of hydrogen gas produced.

A PEC-MFC that’s large enough to convert and pump hydrogen directly from a wastewater treatment facility is still just a schematic, but Li and Wang are actively taking steps toward achieving such a mega-device.

It all begins with a free afternoon show featuring bluegrass band 6 Mile Station and punk outfit Screaming Mimis playing for all ages. Then the action shifts to a 21-and-over night show that boasts steam punks El Radio Fantastique, rocker Frankie Boots and others playing along with belly dancing, burlesque, standup comedy and marching bands. The soiree happens on Friday, July 11, at Aubergine, 755 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. 4pm, free; 8pm, $5. 707.827.3460.

This week, the “Blues Female Artist of the Year” performs as part of the summer concert series in the backyard of the KRSH studios for a special album release show.

Masterful MomentThe moody, deceptively simple music of pianist Cava Menzies and trumpeter Nick Phillips is taking the jazz community by storm. The slow roll of the duo’s subtle and nuanced energy manifests splendidly on their latest album, Moment to Moment, a reflective and gentle collection of ballads and fiery tunes that recalls greats like John Coltrane and Dave Brubeck. Cava Menzies and Nick Phillips perform on Sunday, July 13, at Fenix, 919 Fourth St., San Rafael. 6:30pm. $15–$20. 415.813.5600.

READY, AIM . . . Pat Bohn, archery expert and Dry Creek Gun Club member, shows a fellow member how to use a homemade hunting bow.

Gun ClubbersHealdsburg social club blends love of food, DIY and firearms BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY

increase our knowledge about it,” says Durban, “so we pulled community resources together.”

The idea took off and has grown into a different kind of social club: the Dry Creek Gun Club.

Durban is a set decorator who divides her time between Healdsburg and Los Angeles. Callimanis is a project manager and nonprofit coordinator who lives in Dry Creek Valley, home of the club’s unofficial “office”—the Dry Creek General Store bar in Healdsburg.

“We had this goal of hunting a wild boar and breaking it down ourselves,” explains Callimanis. “The club evolved from there. That’s why you see the boar on our logo.”

In the age of Meetup.com, where anyone can find a social club for the most esoteric interests, the Dry Creek Gun Club (DCGC) is deliberately low-key and based on good old word of mouth. Every new member must be endorsed by an existing one, and three hours of volunteering for the club

Two years ago, Jennifer Durban and Stephanie Callimanis

were coming home from a trap-shooting event in Mendocino County when they decided to organize a gun-safety project near their hometown of Healdsburg.

“We had a strong interest in hunting, from the food perspective, and networking to

each year are required. An annual membership of $30 partially finances keynote speakers and activities, as well as cool T-shirts. The age of the club’s members ranges from 20 to 70. Half are women. The humble website (drycreekgunclub.com) announces future events, but joining takes more than just filling out one line. Questions range from “What homesteading, survival or other skills can you offer?” to “What do you think about guns?” The latter question addresses the inevitably loaded context surrounding gun ownership and regulations.

“A love of guns is definitely not a requirement,” stresses Callimanis. “Many people in the club do not own guns. However, we do ask that people respect hunting and the right to hunt for food.” Accordingly, some members stress firearm education and diplomatically differentiate “hunting” from “self defense.”

“I never grew up with guns and was scared of them due to lack of information,” says Healdsburg member Lindsay Jackson. “However, DCGC changed my viewpoint on firearms, and safety is key.”

Passion for food and the will to get close and personal with its origins seem to matter more. A gun club meeting is rarely complete without a meat-oriented buffet, with the occasional abalone or seaweed feed thrown in the mix.

“Every event, members bring something they harvested themselves in the area and create mind-blowing recipes to share,” says Jackson. In Ohio, where she grew up, such abundance didn’t come as easy, and certainly not when it came to the wine.

“It’s really homegrown and casual, a good introduction to country living,” says

Durban. “Our membership has this specific combination of old-time agrarianism, a streak of independence and creativity, a love of food and farming and an insider’s view on the wine country lifestyle,” adds Callimanis.

This lifestyle is a major draw for the city folk as well. Besides the core local members, the club also has members from San Francisco and Oakland, plus supporters in Los Angeles and Boulder, Colo. All of them, according to Durban, share an “independent spirit” and a knack for homesteading. And while members say they join for community networking and learning new skills, there’s a healthy amount of social interest—friendships and even the occasional spark of romance are not out of the question.

For Carl J. Bowers, a paint salesman and musician from Rohnert Park, it’s not about the activities or people alone. “The DCGC’s core values are much like those that shaped my life throughout my Midwest upbringing, grounded with a strong moral compass, love of the outdoors and self-reliance,” he says. For him, “semi-primitive camping, late-night talks at the campfire, eating to excess and a day at the gun range” is the dream ticket. Other monthly activities could easily satisfy a seasoned Midwesterner: turkey plucking, crawdad catching and bow making are good examples, but kombucha and gravlox workshops keep the California foodie spirit alive.

On the lighter side, there are festive “white elephant” parties, where members often surprise each other with beer holders and carving knives, and the “haunted barn” Halloween party, where a slightly ironic costume might be a turkey or a wild boar.

“At members’ initiation, you have to drink from a gun-shaped [tequila] bottle. We went through the whole bottle already,” says Durban.

Dark Wit ‘Becky Shaw’ is challenging and painfully hilarious BY DAVID TEMPLETON

Dark family comedies always start small, establishing the broken

dynamic between two characters before introducing the rest of the bickering, disjointed family. Then, almost always, an outsider slips in, and suddenly everything gets worse. Occasionally though, the stranger makes things better.

In Becky Shaw, directed with wicked glee by Barry Martin—playing one more week at 6th Street Playhouse before moving to the Napa Valley Playhouse for two weeks—playwright Gina Gionfriddo takes both of those approaches, adds some of the most scathingly hilarious dialogue in recent memory and somehow mashes it all together into one riveting, weirdly funny story.

MIXER Taylor Bartolucci DeGuillio and John Browning get personal in ‘Becky Shaw.’

Suzanna (a first-rate LC Arisman) is an aimless college student wrestling with the fact that her late father squandered the family fortune, her mother Susan (Mollie Boice, her usual ball-busting magnificence played to full hilt) has taken up with a much younger man—and she’s just had a one-night stand with her adopted brother Max (a steadily seething John Browning). Urged by Max to take some time to find herself, Suzanna impulsively meets and marries the amiable Andrew (Skylar Evans, all selfish-sweet and puppy-doggy), who works with a fragile but interesting woman he thinks might be a good match for Max.

When Becky Shaw (Taylor Bartolucci DeGuillio) arrives for the blind date, overdressed in a fluffy pink dress that Max derides as looking like a birthday cake, it’s clear that things are about to go south. For one thing, something is clearly very wrong with Becky Shaw.

There are two ways to play a character like Becky. Some would make her seem as normal as possible, and then gradually reveal little hints as to exactly how weird—and potentially dangerous—she might be. Others will let you know from the first entrance that we are looking at a mad woman. That’s the approach Bartolucci DeGuillio takes, and she runs with it, giving Becky a wild series of ticks and jitters that will delight some while making others wish she’d taken the more subtle, gradually unfurling approach.

That is just one of many juicy topics audiences will want to debate after catching Becky Shaw, a play that is deeply challenging, charmingly infuriating and always painfully hilarious.

Rating (out of 5):

‘Becky Shaw’ runs Thursday–Sunday through July 13 at 6th Street Playhouse (52 W. Sixth St., Santa Rosa; Friday–Saturday, 8pm; 2pm matinees, Saturday–Sunday; $15–$25; 707.523.4185) and July 18–27 at the Napa Valley Playhouse (1637 W. Imola Ave., Napa; Friday–Saturday, 8pm; 2pm matinees, Sunday; $12–$20; 707.255.5483).

Fresh StartDirector John Carney hits high notes with ‘Begin Again’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

PRETTY TUNE Keira Knightley shows a vulnerable side in ‘Begin Again.’

J ohn Carney’s follow-up to his 2006 hit Once is similarly slight and caramel-hearted, but it made me a new fan of things I thought I was over: New

York, popular music and Keira Knightley. And unlike Once, Begin Again isn’t in love with hopeless pathos.

The film opens with wooly old A&R man Dan (Mark Ruffalo) at the end of a day spent drinking away his career. At a nightclub, he hears a singer-songwriter named Greta (Keira Knightley), who has been pressured by a friend into performing a song. Greta is a visiting Londoner who’s recently been dropped fast and from a great height as the former consort and collaborator of a world-famous rocker played by Adam Levine of Maroon 5.

Together, Dan and Greta try to heal their own demoralization, working from the ground up. Using a portable studio and New York ambient locations, they make their own demo.

It’s rare in 2014 to see a film with even one determined woman in it, and Begin Again has three: Catherine Keener as Dan’s estranged wife; Hailee Steinfeld, believably fierce as Dan’s angry daughter; and Knightley. Posh and brittle, the too-perfect-looking Knightley shows an aspect of appealing crumbliness as she hits 30.

Begin Again had me at the late-night scene where Greta drunk-dials Dan with a song she’s written titled “Like a Fool,” and the song’s good—Carney is himself enough of a musician to know the difference between something distinctive and popular audio oatmeal.

Like Jersey Boys, Begin Again doesn’t go inflationary about how wowed we’re supposed to be by this music. During the scrappy recording sessions, shot in well-picked, Brooklyn and Manhattan locations, rooftops and alleys, what we hear is a sound, not the sound.

‘Begin Again’ opens July 11 at Summerfield Cinemas. 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 707.522.0712.

Feeling PurpleDr. Fink and the Purple Xperience get princely at the Phoenix BY PRYNSS

PURPLE REIGN Marshall Charloff and Dr. Fink keep the Revolution alive.

Hey all, this is the Purple One writing to U under one of my many pseudonyms. You may also know me as the leader of the Revolution and .

I need U 2 hear what I’m about 2 say about my best physician friend, Dr. Fink.

The keyboard player in the Revolution didn’t stop when I changed the band. Even though I don’t still perform with everyone I’ve played with, Dr. Fink is 2 good not 2 love. And as a doctor, he knows all about women’s health. Just look at what insights he has in my movie Purple Rain, when diagnosing my band members Wendy and Lisa.

Speaking of Purple Rain, the album turned 30 years old last month. It was born on June 25, 1984, making it just old enough to look older than me. (U know I stopped aging just before that album came out.) It was a big deal for the music world, because nobody had done music like this before. Rock, funk, a little country, even, all wrapped up on the dance floor. And the movie made it so much bigger; nobody expected it 2 be as big as it was—except me, of course.

Dr. Fink helped write some of those songs, like “Computer Blue,” and it was his idea to do the weird piano banging in “Let’s Go Crazy,” which is so much fun to do live. We had a good time playing those songs.

I know we’ve all purified ourselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka, but it can’t hurt to do it again. That’s why Dr. Fink is still doing his funky thing with the Purple Xperience, in his scrubs and everything, to make sure U don’t lose Ur mind over not seeing all that sweet, sticky, funky, nasty music performed live. He even pulls off the crazy solos in “The Beautiful Ones” and “When Doves Cry”—after I taught him, of course.

I recently had Bobby Z onstage to play drums with me again, and who knows, I might reach out to Dr. Fink one of these days too. I like what he said about Purple Rain in his recent Vibe interview: “We really did make history. Thirty years later, Purple Rain is still a very highly influential piece of work. It feels good to be a part of something so important.”

Dr. Fink leads the Purple Xperience July 11 at the Phoenix Theater. 201 E. Washington St., Petaluma. 8pm. $15–$20. 707.762.3565.

Free BirdBlack Crowes cofounder plays solo show at the UptownIt’s a good thing Rich Robinson has never let a little thing like fame get in the way of doing what he loves most: making music.

He achieved an intoxicating level of fame at the tender age of 21 when he formed the Black Crowes in 1984 with brother and snake-hipped, swaggering collaborator Chris Robinson.

In 1990, the band signed with Def Jam Records and released the hit “Shake Your Money Maker. ” A career hell-bent on classic, Southern/electric/blues/rock was born. Songs such as “Hard to Handle,” “Remedy” and “Sometimes Salvation” propelled the band into headliner status. After releasing the 2001 album Lions, the Black Crowes went on an indefinite hiatus.

After a brief respite from the spotlight, Robinson, playing every instrument except drums, released his first solo project, titled Paper, in 2004. The Crowes reformed for a short while, releasing several albums, but went back on to-be-determined status in 2009.

Now Robinson seems to have finally found his niche in the recently released solo album The Ceaseless Sight. He showcases the cumulative efforts that a life devoted to music can produce. He remains true to his Southern roots, while still extolling the sublime virtues of the humble electric guitar.

If you’re a Robinson fan, enter to win tickets to an exclusive meet-and-greet party hosted by the Bohemian. Visit the deals and giveaways page on www.bohemian.com for details.

Rich Robinson plays Saturday, July 19, at the Uptown Theatre, 1350 Third St., Napa. 8pm. Tickets, $20–$30. 707.259.0123.—Jesse Bell

Pedal for PreservationTour de MALT takes to the roads for land trustFor the last 34 years, the Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT) has been a leading force in the protection of the natural landscapes that define the West Marin County. Preserving family-run farms and open spaces from development, MALT’s coalition of ranchers and activists is still hard at work.

Of the many events the nonprofit organization holds throughout the year, the annual Tour de MALT offers the most compelling argument for agricultural protection. It’s also one of the most popular, as Marin County is a hub of adventurous cyclers. After all, the mountain bike was invented here.

This year, the tour features two routes, each winding through western Marin’s Nicasio Valley. A 40-mile tour offers views of Tomales Bay and historic parks, and a 60-mile trek takes you through the same sights and goes even farther north. Along the way several ranches and family farms will offer stops with refreshments and entertainment. At the end of the journey, a fresh, farm-to-table meal is provided. Registration is limited to 300, so get in on it before it’s too late.

The Tour de MALT takes to the road Saturday, July 12, starting at 5300 Nicasio Valley Road, Nicasio. 8am. $85/$125. 415.663.1158.—Charlie Swanson

Special Gift for Renewing Patients

AstrologyARIES (March 21–April 19) What are the sources that heal and nourish you? Where do you go to renew yourself? Who are the people and animals that treat you the best and are most likely to boost your energy? I suggest that in the coming week you give special attention to these founts of love and beauty. Treat them with the respect and reverence they deserve. Express your gratitude and bestow blessings on them. It’s the perfect time for you to summon an outpouring of generosity as you feed what feeds you.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) Why do birds fly? First, that’s how they look for and procure food. Second, when seasons change and the weather grows cooler, they may migrate to warmer areas where there’s more to eat. Third, zipping around in mid-air is how birds locate the materials they need to build nests. Fourth, it’s quite helpful in avoiding predators. But ornithologists believe there is yet another reason: birds fly because it’s fun. In fact, up to 30 percent of the time, that’s their main motivation. In accordance with the astrological omens, Taurus, I invite you to match the birds’ standard in the coming weeks. See if you can play and enjoy yourself and have a good time at least 30 percent of the time.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) Is there an important resource you don’t have in sufficient abundance? Are you suffering from the lack of an essential fuel or tool? I’m not talking about a luxury it would be pleasant to have or a status symbol that would titillate your ego. Rather, I’m referring to an indispensable asset you need to create the next chapter of your life story. Identify what this crucial treasure is, Gemini. Make or obtain an image of it, and put that image on a shrine in your sanctuary. Pray for it. Vividly visualize it for a few minutes several times a day. Sing little songs about it. The time has arrived for you to become much more serious and frisky about getting that valuable thing in your possession.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Since 1981, Chinese law has stipulated that every healthy person between the ages of 11 and 60 should plant three to five trees per year. This would be a favorable week for Chinese Cancerians to carry out that duty. For that matter, now is an excellent time for all of you Cancerians, regardless of where you live, to plant trees, sow seeds, launch projects or do anything that animates your fertility and creativity. You now have more power than you can imagine to initiate long-term growth.

LEO (July 23–August 22) The weeks preceding your birthday are often an excellent time to engage the services of an exorcist. But there’s no need to hire a pricey priest with dubious credentials. I can offer you my expert demon-banishing skills free of charge. Let’s begin. I call on the spirits of the smart heroes you love best to be here with us right now. With the help of their inspirational power, I hereby dissolve any curse or spell that was ever placed on you, even if it was done inadvertently, and even if it was cast by yourself. Furthermore, the holy laughter I unleash as I carry out this purification serves to expunge any useless feelings, delusional desires, bad ideas, or irrelevant dreams you may have grown attached to. Make it so! Amen and hallelujah!

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) You know what it’s like to get your mind blown. And I’m sure that on more than one occasion you have had your heart stolen. But I am curious, Virgo, about whether you have ever had your mind stolen or your heart blown. And I also wonder if two rare events like that have ever happened around the same time. I’m predicting a comparable milestone sometime in the next three weeks. Have no fear! The changes these epiphanies set in motion will ultimately bring you blessings. Odd and unexpected blessings, probably, but blessings nonetheless. (P.S.: I’m sure you are familiar with the tingling sensation that wells up in your elbow when you hit your funny bone.) Well, imagine a phenomena like that rippling through your soul.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Since 2008, Marvel Studios has produced nine movies based on characters from Marvel Comics. They’re doing well. The Avengers earned $1.5 billion, making it the third

highest-grossing film of all time. Iron Man 3 brought in over a billion dollars too, and Thor: The Dark World grossed $644 million. Now Marvel executives are on schedule to release two movies every year through 2028. I’d love to see you be inspired by their example, Libra. Sound fun? To get started, dream and scheme about what you want to be doing in both the near future and the far future. Then formulate a flexible, invigorating master plan for the next 14 years.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) While in Chicago to do a series of shows, comedian Groucho Marx was invited to participate in a séance. He decided to attend even though he was skeptical of the proceedings. Incense was burning. The lights were dim. The trance medium worked herself into a supernatural state until finally she announced, “I am in touch with the Other Side. Does anyone have a question?” Groucho wasn’t shy. “What is the capital of North Dakota?” he asked. As amusing as his irreverence might be, I want to use it as an example of how you should not proceed in the coming week. If you get a chance to converse with higher powers or mysterious forces, I hope you seek information you would truly like to know.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21) In one of her poems, Adrienne Rich addresses her lover: “That conversation we were always on the edge / of having, runs on in my head.” Is there a similar phenomenon in your own life, Sagittarius? Have you been longing to thoroughly discuss certain important issues with a loved one or ally, but haven’t found a way to do so? If so, a breakthrough is potentially imminent. All of life will be conspiring for you to speak and hear the words that have not yet been spoken and heard but very much need to be.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) This would be a fun time for you to brainstorm about everything you have never been and will never be. I encourage you to fantasize freely about the goals you don’t want to accomplish and the qualities you will not cultivate and the kind of people you will never seek out as allies. I believe this exercise will have a healthy effect on your future development. It will discipline your willpower and hone your motivation as it eliminates extraneous desires. It will imprint your deep self with a passionate clarification of pursuits that are wastes of your precious energy and valuable time.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Expect nothing even as you ask for everything. Rebel against tradition with witty compassion, not cynical rage. Is there a personal taboo that no longer needs to remain taboo? Break it with tender glee. Do something playful, even prankish, in a building that has felt oppressive to you. Everywhere you go, carry gifts with you just in case you encounter beautiful souls who aren’t lost in their own fantasies. You know that old niche you got stuck in as a way to preserve the peace? Escape it. At least for now, live without experts and without leaders—with no teachers other than what life brings you moment by moment.

PISCES (February 19–March 20) Every year, the U.S. government spends $25,455 per capita on programs for senior citizens. Meanwhile, it allocates $3,822 for programs to help children. That’s only 15 percent as much as what the elders receive. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I believe your priorities should be reversed. Give the majority of your energy and time and money to the young and innocent parts of your life. Devote less attention to the older and more mature aspects. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need to care intently for what’s growing most vigorously.
