One Planet. One People. One Future.

t this time of crisis, many are searching for ways to make a positive difference in the world – while deepening their own spirituality. Thousands across the globe have found a way to accomplish both these goals: Transmission Meditation. Transmission is a simple, group meditation that provides both a dynamic service to the world and a powerful means of personal spiritual development. It was introduced in 1974 by a great spiritual teacher, a Master of Wisdom. A group of Masters are now emerging into the public arena to help us solve our most critical global problems. The Masters, led by Maitreya, the World Teacher, have lived for millennia in the remote regions of the world, guiding and inspiring humanity from behind the scenes. They are a group of incorruptible teachers who have gone ahead of us on the path of spiritual evolution, perfecting themselves to a point where they can demonstrate their divinity on a moment-to-moment basis.

They are entering the everyday world at this critical time to guide humanity through its present crisis, and into a future of peace and brotherhood/sisterhood. They say true peace is possible only when justice prevails for all people. Justice is achieved when there is sharing of the world’s resources. Sharing will create trust. When there is trust among nations, there will be no need for war.

Brett Kavanaugh must not be allowed to serve on the Supreme Court and further erode our democracy, says letter writer Aaron Brinkerhoff.

Racists Are Sick

Sonoma State Business Degree, at College of Marin

See yourself completing your bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree. Prepare for Fall â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;19 sonoma.education/business

According to Psychology Today, racism and xenophobia of any kind is a symptom of psychological ill health. People with a stable sense of self and strong inner security are not racist, because they have no need to strengthen their sense of self through group identity. Older adults, however, have a tendency to be more prejudiced than their younger counterparts. This is due to the fact that older people grew up in less egalitarian times. There is evidence that normal changes to the brain in late adulthood can lead to greater prejudice. They are more likely than younger adults to rely on stereotypes, and they have more difficulty than younger adults suppressing their stereotypical thoughts. They are also more likely to be socially insensitive in a variety of ways. All of these effects only emerge among older adults who show signs of poor frontal lobe functioning. The U.S. Census Bureau says that 85.6 percent of Marin County is white, and the majority of those are 65 years and older. Hopefully, that majority embraces diversity and inclusion. If not, race relations will automatically improve with the passage of time. Dennis Kostecki Sausalito

Keep Kavanaugh Out

We are fighting to maintain the integrity of our democracy, which is being undermined by the most effective weapon a hostile country has ever employed: Donald Trump. It is the responsibility of every patriotic citizen to fight for our democracy and the Constitution. Those supporting Trump and his policies are placing their own greed and self-interests far above the good of the nation and our communities. While money buys and directs the majority of Congress, the manipulation of our judicial system by Russian influence and Trump will crumble the final pillar of the foundation of our democratic process. We must prevent any further ruination of our democracy and abuse of presidential power by keeping Kavanaugh off the U.S. Supreme Court. His appointment will directly affect our communities with the undermining of environmental acts that protect our drinking water, our treasured parks and open spaces, healthcare, social security and anything else the money machines desire to fuel their unpatriotic greed. We can stop all of this by demanding our representatives be accountable to citizens and stop the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh. Aaron Brinkerhoff Novato

Heroes &Zeroes By Nikki Silverstein

Photo ops abound when a parade of pups-in-training and working dogs from Guide Dogs for the Blind stroll down the red carpet at a special premiere of the acclaimed documentary Pick of the Litter. The overload of adorable begins at 6:30pm on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael. Partially filmed on the San Rafael campus of Guide Dogs for the Blind, the movie follows a litter of puppies through their first two years of life, as they’re trained to become guides for their blind or visually impaired handlers. After the screening, filmmakers Dana Nachman and Don Hardy will be available to answer questions. The motion picture is audio-described, allowing audiences of all abilities to enjoy it. Don’t fret if you can’t make it to the premiere of this fascinating film, because it opens at Bay Area theaters on Friday, Sept. 7. We had hoped the education efforts undertaken by the Marin Coyote Coalition would have allayed people’s fears. But no. The howls of discontent about living with Marin’s coyotes have grown louder than ever. A contingent of unenlightened folks even went before the Marin Board of Supervisors to voice their ill-conceived concerns and make various demands that the animals be tranquilized and relocated or killed. “Every single day in Marin County, there are pets being attacked and eaten by coyotes. Why is our government allowing this to happen?” Bernadette Bantly, of Corte Madera, told KPIX-TV. Every day? We’d like to see the data on that claim. While we sympathize with residents who lost pets, guardians should be aware the coyotes were here first and we need to be diligent about keeping cats indoors and small dogs on leash. Check out projectcoyote.org for tips on how to coexist with coyotes.

Where’s Dingus? Missing Bolinas dog highlights canine-freedom conundrum By Nikki Silverstein

big, goofy dog named Dingus went missing from Bolinas in April— on Friday the 13th. Earlier in the day, the one-year-old pit bull and German shepherd mix swam in the ocean, while his person, Azi Lynman, surfed. Eventually, Dingus, wet and sandy, left the waves and made his way back to town by himself, like dogs in Bolinas do all the time. Only this time, Dingus vanished. The West Marin town may (perhaps) be the dog-friendliest place

in America, and big Dingus was sort of an unofficial master of ceremonies, known to crash events at the Bolinas Community Center and for holding court in the local and very dogfriendly saloon. Smiley’s Saloon caught the last known images of the 65-pound pup that showed him walking on Wharf Road around 8pm that night. Then he was gone. Just like that. Heartbroken, Lynman and his mother, Katie Weber, began a search for their cherished canine. Surely, they

thought, Dingus would return shortly. Though sans collar, he had an up-todate microchip containing the contact information for his human. Any visit to a vet or shelter would include scanning for the chip, which would identify Dingus and get him on his way home. But a day passed, then two. Finally, a break: Weber saw a photo of a dog on a Sacramento shelter site that looked almost exactly like Dingus. The pound had picked up a large brown dog with black markings around his eyes and muzzle.

Best Of Issue - Hank Mielke

I’m Hank, and this is my healing place. An avid surfer, paddle-boarder, and fisherman, 60-year old Hank Mielke was so fit, he almost skipped the checkup that saved his life! During Hank’s prostate exam, his doctor found a suspicious lump. It turned out to be a rare, aggressive prostate tumor. Marin General Hospital’s multidisciplinary team of prostate cancer specialists worked with Hank to craft a treatment plan that balanced his personal priorities with cutting-edge care. Hank underwent delicate, robotic-assisted surgery to remove his prostate, while preserving the nerves needed for continence and sexual function. The surgery was followed by carefully planned radiation and hormonal therapy. Hank describes the seamless, collaborative care he received at Marin General Hospital as “first-class treatment, all the way.” With his cancer in remission, Hank is out of the woods – and back in the water.

Weber, her daughter and Lynman made the hundred-mile trek to Sacramento, only to have their hopes dashed. It wasn’t Dingus. The trio made the long drive home, emotional and devastated. At that point, Lynman, 24, couldn’t handle the disappointment of any more false sightings. Weber continued the hunt by herself, almost a full-time job. “It was all I focused on for two months.” She delivered photos and missing dog flyers to vets in Marin, Petaluma, San Francisco, Richmond, Berkeley and Oakland; contacted nearby shelters and monitored their websites; and checked Craigslist daily and responded to every vague post about a found dog. Weber met with a pet psychic at a Stinson Beach vet, who felt strongly that a couple has Dingus. According to the psychic, the girlfriend knows the boyfriend lied about buying the dog and she’s torn, realizing that his family longs for him. Another spiritually inclined person approached Weber while she posted a flyer at the Sausalito Dog Park. This woman pulled out a deck of tarot cards. She, too, believes Dingus is in a home, with his new guardians uncertain about whether to return him to his rightful people. It gives Lynman and Weber hope that both psychics believe Dingus will return home. And hope helps fuel Weber’s dogged search, which she resumed in August after taking a break in July. The consensus in town is that the friendly, collarless dog was mistaken for a stray and picked up by someone

who didn’t realize that dogs in Bolinas often roam about town alone—and that Dingus was well-loved and cared for by Lynman and his mother. While Lynman surfed or worked construction, his pooch would often visit Weber, who also lives and works in Bolinas. Dingus was a fixture at her shop on Wharf Road, La Sirena Botique, down the block from Smiley’s. Now the dog mysteries are starting to pile up: In recent weeks, there’s been talk around town of a large dog missing from Horseshoe Hill Road in Bolinas. Another story involves a dog wandering alone at Agate Beach, this one wearing a collar with an ID tag. Someone called the number on the tag and threatened to take the dog if she wasn’t picked up immediately. The culprits in these cases are likely strangers to Bolinas who don’t understand a dog culture that’s not just friendly but free. As anyone with knowledge of Bolinas knows, there are purposely no markers on Highway 1 identifying the route to town, as residents have tried to keep it off the beaten path and protect it from outsiders. But in the so-called new Bolinas, overrun with strangers occupying short-term rentals, the (perhaps) dog-friendliest town in the country now deals with a raft of canineconcerned outsiders who assume that any dog wandering around town must be a stray in need. Not so. Of course, GPS has rendered the whole “You can’t find us” mentality somewhat moot. But any visitor to town still gets the message upon entering town: You’re about to happen upon a totally unique village,

complete with its own militia (to keep the undocumented immigrants in), the most expensive gallon of gas in the country (to fund affordable housing) and lots of loose dogs. A sign reads, “Entering socially acknowledged nature-loving town.” To Bolinas residents, this quite clearly includes the love of their dogs, leashed and unleashed (cats, too). The price of this freedom used to be the occasional coyote attack on a beloved animal. Those fears have now been supplanted by fears of human interactions with dogs that are otherwise free to come and go as they please. After all, with no busy roads nearby and the town surrounded by water on three sides, Bolinas has always been a pretty safe spot to allow dogs to wander freely. However, the Dingus incident and the advent of fussy out-of-town animal lovers has conspired to affect the character of the town. With Dingus’ disappearance, Bolinas has lost some of its innocence and its insulation. It’s no longer so carefree. (A recent and unrelated push by some residents to throw out all the people who live in their vehicles—and there’s quite a few of them—is also a signifier of the changing character of the town.) Townsfolk are taking heed. Some dogs now wear collars with messages such as “I live in Bolinas. Do not take me.” Many guardians no longer allow their dogs to roam alone through town or at the beach. The local Bolinas Hearsay News recently published an impassioned plea from a dog owner directed at visitors: Leave the darn dogs alone! One resident was so miffed about the prospect of further stolen dogs that he commissioned local artist StuArt Chapman to create and hang a sign near the local grocery store. It’s quite clear: “No stray dogs in Bolinas. All dogs loved here.” Lynman still mourns the loss of Dingus. Tears streaked down his face during a recent interview. To the people who snatched his dog almost five months ago, he has a message: “You may think you have a better house, but Dingus had the best home any dog could have, on the ocean with family and friends that love him.” A $500 reward is offered for information leading to the return of Dingus Call 415.720.8809.

Touring Tomales

Contemplations on a small-town parade in the Trump era By Tom Gogola

heresa Byrne is resplendent in a pale purple ensemble, as the elder of West Marin takes in the annual Old California Festival & Founders Day Parade in Tomales making its way down the short, swooping section of Highway 1 that comprises Main Street. Byrne says that as a “known Democrat” in these parts—she lives in nearby Dillon Beach—she’s keeping an eye peeled for “M.A.G.A.” hats or any other sartorial signifier that might infer, denote or otherwise show kinship with the strain of white nationalism that has come along with the advent of a divisive and angry reality-show president.

Byrne stands out in all purple, and her eyes are darting, ice-blue emeralds, but I’m more struck by how the predominant colors in this parade are black and red. Those colors, in and of themselves, are perhaps the most “martial” color combination there is; among other less controversial signifiers, red and black is the preferred color combo for American fascists—and also, I’ve discovered, of lots of American brassband marching bands comprised of liberal white people. The colors, in their own way, provide a squaring-off moment at the small-town celebration in West Marin on Sunday. At first I was

kind of taken aback by the cadres of bikers who showed up in the colors and bearing a Latinate name on their MC jackets and vests. The local E Clampus Vitus branch is decked out in the black and red as they parade down Main Street, a gaggle of white dudes in varying degrees of red, white and black attire. What the heck is ECV, and who are these dudes? I shared with Byrne a kind of latent suspicion that, in the Trump era, flagrant yahoo-ism has been exalted as the highest order of patriotism. Yet one should never pass judgment based on appearances, especially at a parade where you

don’t know anyone and despite the outsized number of red hats among the ECV crew (though no actual “M.A.G.A.” hats were spotted). Do a little research and it’s quickly obvious that the ECV organization dates back to the 1850s and was formed as a sort of tongue-in-cheek fraternal order to maintain and promote the history of the American West—especially the Gold Rush. The name is actually “dog latin,” in that it doesn’t mean anything. It’s gibberish. Yet to the untrained eye, the organization’s members looks like they’re a bunch of bikers intent on squaring off against anti-fascists, »10

or at least the presumptively liberal editorial board of the West Marin Review, as they too make their way past the cheering throngs of parade-goers. Members of the Hubbub Club from Sebastopol and Graton are also in attendance, and are the highlight for me. They play “Iko Iko” and other parade-day standards during and after the parade. The all-white ensemble has been around since 2007 and describe themselves as a cross between a New Orleans brass band and a Fellini picture. Today’s parade is, however, less Fellinesque than it is Altmanesque, as in Robert Altman—specifically his masterpiece of the early 1970s, Nashville, which tells the story of a town and its people as they grapple with the advent of a populist presidential contender. He’s coming to town, and not everyone’s happy about it. I have to say that I was pretty amped up for a Trumpian display of rural American defiance. As I drove into town Sunday morning, the first vehicle I encountered in Tomales was a pickup truck with a huge

flag hanging out the bed, which depicted a semi-automatic assault weapon and a challenge to anyone who would try to “take it away.” The truck appeared to be driven by a Hispanic dude, so go figure. But the only visible weapons on display during the parade are the rifles carried by the color guard who precede the parade and are drawn from the local Coast Guard training station. Everything’s different these days—citizens and journalists on the lookout for the local moment that encapsulates the larger national convulsion at hand. Only in 2018, for example, would anyone care to note the fact that nobody kneeled at the Tomales Founders Day Celebration when the crowd sings along to “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Cowboy hats are placed over hearts as the murmur of the anthem emerges from crowds gathered on either side of Main Street to enjoy what the locals promote as the World’s Shortest Parade. It’s short, to be sure, but long on symbolism (or assumptions of symbolism). Mostly, it’s just a fun parade day

for locals. The William Tell House is swinging with early-afternoon action, and if there’s an open container law in Marin County, tell it to that guy in dusty jeans, suspenders and a concrete-company T-shirt swigging a jumbo can of Budweiser. Only in 2018 would it be notable to indicate that the smell of cannabis smoke does not, however, permeate the air in Tomales. This is a familyfriendly day. Tomales may be the most poignantly situated town in Marin County, given the arc of the larger political moment we’re in, and how people like Theresa Byrne are anxious to smoke out—or at least quietly identify—small-town American extremism on display. And there’s no time like a parade for residents of a town to let their particular freak flag fly. Readers may recall that on the Fourth of July in 2016, the allAmerican city of Petaluma hosted its annual patriotic parade, only to discover that there were a bunch of white nationalists in the region eager to deploy Confederate flags

and the new, visualized semiotics of Eurocentric orientation. I’ve also reported on Christian rightwing signage that’s popped up along roads that traverse the dairy farms, which bleed the American flag into a cross—a common symbol among armies of the new American right. As such, the small-town parade on Sunday, an annual affair much beloved by the small town (lots of money is raised for ongoing renovations at Town Hall), was also a moment to reflect on this abrasively divisive time in America and ask, how does this all end? What does it mean for small-town cultures strung along Highway 1 in West Marin, which all embrace tradition in their own way, while also embodying the best of what a truly progressive rural region would embody? There’s nothing but dairy land surrounding Tomales and with that, an embrace of organizations such as the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, whose efforts have been critical in preserving the dairy culture and economy that animates West Marin.

Marinite to get in the car and check it out. Town Hall not only puts on regular open-mic poetry nights, it’s got a bar and recently hosted a concert by West Marin country cut-ups the Haggards that drew nearly 300 people. There’s the William Tell House, which competes with Smiley’s and the Western Saloon (in Bolinas and Pt. Reyes Station, respectively), for bragging rights to the oldest watering hole in Marin County. The William Tell House “float” during the parade was a jeep with a sign affixed to the back with directions to “Follow me to the William Tell House.” It was kind of humorous that the arrow pointed in the exact opposite direction of the old saloon as the parade went past. All the various treats and treasures were on display Sunday, as the parade ended and the daylong party kicked

in. Music was provided by the allfemale Foxes in the Henhouse. K&A Take Away was there offering its locally drawn menu, which includes everything from sturdy Italian sausage sandwiches to quinoa-and-zucchini pancakes. Three Twins Ice cream, headquartered in Petaluma, was on hand on parade day too. Hog Island Oysters? Of course. The butter dripped from dawn till dusk. It was also amusing that a visitor to town can buy a “Straight Outta Tomales” T-shirt—if one is cool with the cultural appropriation of an album recorded by N.W.A. in 1988, and whose full name is best left unsaid.

When it was over, I got in the car for the drive back to Bolinas. The morning had given way to the afternoon, and so of course the lines at Hog Island and Nick & Tony’s were off the chain with day-trippers when I drove through Marshall. There was another fun street festival in West Marin, on Monday, the annual Bolinas Labor Day blowout hosted by the community center (where I’m occasionally employed to help out with events). One of my great pleasures in life is watching other people have fun, and there’s no place like Bo for unselfconscious expression. By contrast, and

this is a strictly biased observation, Tomales was a little light in the department of public displays of joy. I’m sure those folks know how to let loose, too. Just maybe not early on a Sunday afternoon. I sat in the middle of the street in Bolinas on Labor Day, directing traffic past the band and street celebrants, and thought about Theresa Byrne and her kind, ice-blue eyes as I reflected on her unapologetic passion for a multicultural Marin County. I thought about those sorta-biker guys in Tomales and wondered how this all settles out, this whole Trump moment, when it’s over and small towns get on with the business of preserving themselves, not so much from alien interlopers, but from corporate power.

MUSIC

Travelin’ Band Diego’s Umbrella March On By Charlie Swanson

t does not take long for San Francisco Gypsy-rock band Diego’s Umbrella to hook an audience. In fact, it took all of two notes for the five-piece outfit to turn HopMonk Tavern’s session room in Novato from a casual crowd into an ecstatic dance party when they headlined the venue last month. “That really just comes from years and years of touring and playing as many shows as our bodies will allow,” says percussionist Jake Wood. After more than a decade together and with nearly a thousand shows under their belt, Diego’s Umbrella. “Pretty quickly, people realize that we're onstage having fun, and it's just really infectious,” says Wood. “We have sentimental moments and songs that range from different emotions, but overall, if you put a song like ‘Hava Nagila’ into your set, you’re setting a tone that you can’t really deny. The aspect of having fun is very real. It certainly is for me.”

Wood is joined under the umbrella by guitarists and vocalists Vaughn Lindstrom and Kevin Gautschi, violinist Jason Kleinberg and bassist Johann Hill, aka Red Cup. “It’s a very special group of people,” says Wood. “I think we all really appreciate the camaraderie we have.” Diego’s Umbrella is back in full force this summer. There’s a new album in the offing and a performance next month in Mill Valley, where the band plays alongside Metalachi–dubbed the world’s first and only heavy metal mariachi band–on Thursday, Sept 6, at Sweetwater Music Hall. “Our latest touring motto is ‘thrash responsibly,’” jokes Wood. “We want to have a ton of fun, but we’re not 23 years old anymore, so we’re exercising some levels of precaution.” Diego’s Umbrella rock out with Metalachi on Thursday, Sept. 6, at Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Ave., Mill Valley. 8pm. $16– $18. 415.388.3850.

New Dan Mirvish film can’t keep its millennial mask up By Richard von Busack

hose enamored with Woody Allen’s work— with his middle-aged heels seeking young girls, the stale approach to how artsy, hip New Yorkers once talked, disguised as modern-day badinage—can have it again in Bernard and Huey, Dan Mirvish’s retrieval of a 1986 script by cartoonist Jules Feiffer. An unusually cast David Koechner (Anchorman, the American Office) has some acidic fun as Huey, who turns up on the doorstep of his fussy old friend Bernard (Jim Rash). It’s been so long that Bernard doesn’t recognize him. Back in college in the 1980s, Huey’s Little Black Book furnished Bernard with dates. Huey is now pudgy, bald and old, but, shockingly, his forceful approach to picking up women still seems to work. He uses Bernard’s flat to bring home his newest dates. All of the women in his bed shout down the house, as if they were receiving the Olympian thrusts of Apollo himself. Huey’s return flushes out Zelda (Mae Whitman), the daughter he left behind when she was 10. She wants

to be a graphic novelist, so Huey steers her to Bernard, who works in the depressing sub-department of a publishing conglomerate. Problem is Zelda’s work—pencil drawings of men getting castrated—evinces a certain hostility, as well as lack of technical skill. For the sport of it, Zelda decides to get involved with Bernard. Mirvish directs with a certain care-free quality compared to Mike Nichols’ social comedies, which got more self-serious as the years went by (see 2004’s Closer), and there’s a minor payoff at the end. Certainly, Feiffer has wit. Huey, asked if he’s on the lam, says “Define ‘lam.’” But this is mid-century comedy masquerading as millennial, and the mask keeps slipping. Over the end titles, we see some of the 89-yearold Feiffer’s work, and it has all the familiar appeal and tang. It’s easier to forgive little ink drawings than it is to forgive actors playing rats. ‘Bernard and Huey’ plays one night only, Thursday, Sept. 6, at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Theater. 1118 Fourth St., San Rafael. 1.415.454.1222. rafaelfilm.cafilm.org.

STAGE

Full House North Bay stages raise the curtain on new season By Harry Duke

eptember marks the opening of the new artistic season for many North Bay theater companies. Here’s some of what they have in store for local audiences: In Marin, the Novato Theater Company (novatotheatercompany.org) hopes to have one singular sensation with their production of A Chorus Line; Mill Valley’s Marin Theatre Company (marintheatre.org) presents the West Coast premiere of the 2017 Best Play Tony-winning political thriller Oslo; and the Ross Valley Players buck the trend and bring Shakespeare indoors for a change with their production of Twelfth Night. Petaluma’s Cinnabar Theater (cinnabartheater.org) transforms itself into Berlin’s Kit Kat Club and bids you willkommen, bienvenue, and welcome to the classic John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Cabaret. Broadway veteran Michael McGurk and Petaluma native Alia Beeton take on the roles that won Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli their Oscars. The Spreckels Theatre Company of Rohnert Park (spreckelsonline.com) opens its season with the multiple Tony

Award–winning Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Fans of the Mark Haddon novel about a young boy on the autism spectrum investigating the death of a neighborhood dog will find that it’s been somewhat reworked for the stage. Dancing and singing New York “wiseguys” take over Santa Rosa’s 6th Street Playhouse (6thstreetplayhouse. com) as it presents Guys and Dolls. Summer Repertory Theatre artistic director James Newman moves to Railroad Square to helm what has been called “the greatest of all American musicals”. Santa Rosa’s Left Edge Theatre (leftedgetheatre.com) continues to provide North Bay audiences with recently written plays never before seen in the area with the U.S. premiere of a hit British comedy. Dave Simpson’s The Naked Truth involves charity fundraising, female empowerment and pole dancing. Argo Thompson directs and has worked former Bohemian theater critic David Templeton into the cast. Plenty of options for the avid theatergoer. Y

DINING

Sweet on Corn But corn is also good with some salt and acidity, too By Ari LeVaux

o fresh vegetable is so blindly praised for sweetness, and sweetness alone, as fresh sweet corn. As the name implies, and to the exclusion of almost any other flavor metric, sugar content is what determines quality in sweet corn. I’m not a huge fan of the buttered cob. I appreciate the primal act of gnawing kernels from a seed head, but I prefer to get my daily sugar/ fat in other ways. But every dish can generally stand at least a touch of sweetness, and sometimes sweet corn is a great way to add it. Field corn is America’s most planted crop, and is tied with potatoes for the distinction of being the crop that delivers the most calories per acre—15,000—according to Washington Post columnist and fieldcorn enthusiast Tamar Haspel. Given that Mexico is the birthplace of corn, it’s no surprise to me that Mexican ways of using corn are the best. Tortillas and their derivative chips are the most common, but posole, atole, and chicos, among other field corn-based delicacies, are enjoyed as well, not to mention corn smut, a delicious fungus that infects corn. Mexicans eat sweet corn too, on occasion, but as Haspel notes, field corn is where most of the action is. If I am going to eat sweet corn, I prefer to add it to dishes that will benefit from that sweetness. I will leave you with one such recipe, which I call migas pie, in which both field corn and sweet corn are included. This recipe is a riff on Frito pie, in which corn chips are tossed with other ingredients to form a salad. My recipe employs the crumbs from the bottom of the corn chip bag, also known as migas. They are tossed with a medley of seasonal veggies including sweet corn, tomatoes, jalapeños and onions, as well as hot sauce and mayo, and wrapped into leaves—the more bitter, the better, like radicchio, endive or escarole.

This delicacy includes all of the known official flavors of salt, sweet, acidic, bitter and umami, as well as the aspiring flavors of fat and spice, and a range of crunchy textures. It’s a lively, fun dish to eat and prepare, and can be customized in all sorts of ways. If radicchio is too bitter for you, use lettuce leaves instead. Migas Pie one ear sweet corn, kernels sliced from the cob 1 c. migas 1 c. cherry tomatoes, each one sliced in half 1/4 c. minced onion 1 tsp. fresh oregano, minced 2 tbsp. mayo hot sauce to taste 2 tsp. soy sauce 2 tsp. vinegar 1 tbsp. olive oil radicchio leaves (or alternative foliage), reserved for final step Combine all ingredients (except the leaves) in a bowl and mix. Taste, add salt or vinegar as necessary. Spoon into radicchio leaves and eat. Y

By Amy Alkon

My boyfriend has this irritating habit of making fun of my outfits or my spray tan. When I get upset, he says I’m being “sensitive.” I try to look cute for him, and I just don’t think it’s funny for your boyfriend to mock your appearance. Is this his issue or mine? If it’s his, how do I get him to stop?—Unhappy

It’s probably tempting to give him a taste of his own medicine: “Baby, I did not use the word ‘small’ in describing your penis. I called it ‘adorable.’” The reality is, beyond men’s zipper zone, women are generally more sensitive to jabs about their looks. This makes sense if you look at sex differences in the qualities human beings evolved to prioritize in a mate. Of course, we all want a hottie if we can get one, just as we’d take the Malibu mansion with the stable over the basement apartment. But in mating, as in life, we tend to be on a budget. Evolutionary social psychologist Norman Li and his colleagues recognized that, and instead of asking research participants the open-ended, sky’s-the-limit question “So, what do you want in a mate?” they gave them a limited “mating budget.” This, in turn, forced participants to decide which traits and qualities were “necessities” and which were “luxuries.” The Li team’s results echo a body of cross-cultural findings on mate preferences. Men in their study overwhelmingly deemed “physical attractiveness” a “necessity.” (Consider that the female features men find beautiful correlate with health and fertility in a woman.) Meanwhile, the women they surveyed, under these “budgetary” constraints, overwhelmingly went for “status/resources” over male hottie-hood. This reflects women’s evolved motivation to go for men with an ability to invest in any children who might pop out after sex. Because women coevolved with men, they are, at the very least, subconsciously attuned to men’s prioritizing physical appearance in female partners. This, in turn, leads a woman’s emotions to sound the alarm in the form of fear and hurt feelings when her male partner seems to find her less than lookalicious. Explain these differences to your boyfriend so he can understand why you feel bad about his taunts in a way he probably doesn’t from, say, putdown-fests with his dude-bros. Encourage him to tactfully tell you if something in your look isn’t doing it for him (and explain how to go about that). In time, assuming he’s an accidental meanie, he should start showing a little restraint, merely blurting out “You look good enough to eat!” and not (har, har) going on to part two: “. . . because that spray tan makes you a dead ringer for a giant Cheeto.”

I’m a woman who’s very feminine and considered pretty. However, I have a deep voice to the point where I’m sometimes mistaken for a man on the phone. I’ve learned to laugh about it, but it sometimes makes me feel bad, especially when I hear a bunch of other women talking. How do people feel about women with deep voices?—Feeling Low

OK, so you sound like you’ve been smoking unfiltered cigarettes since you were three years old. In social situations, nobody’s mistaking you for Darth Vader in a dress. On the phone, however, they’re missing the visual information. Those who think they’re hearing a man are not making some sneering judgment about your femininity; they are simply reacting based on averages—how, on average, women tend to have higher, chirpier voices. On a positive note, according to research by social-personality psychologist Joey T. Cheng, women with deep voices are, if not more likely to rule the world, more likely to be perceived as the dames to do it. In Cheng’s experiments, both women and men with low-pitched voices were viewed as more dominant and higher in social rank. That’s probably why former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, while running for office in the ’70s, worked with a speech coach to deepen the pitch of her voice. Try to remember that you’re a package as a person. Your voice is just part of the entire “very feminine” you. Maybe re-label your voice “sultry,” like screen babes Scarlett Johansson and Lauren Bacall, for example. This might help you feel a little better when you have those dismaying “Excuse me, sir, who’s calling, please?” experiences. Got a problem?

Astrology

For the week of September 5

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Now is an

excellent time to feel and explore and understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here’s a list of sadnesses from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer: sadness of the could-have-been; sadness of being misunderstood; sadness of having too many options; sadness of being smart; sadness of awkward conversations; sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things; sadness of going unnoticed; sadness of domesticated birds; sadness of arousal being an unordinary physical state; sadness of wanting sadness.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) Do you have any

feral qualities lurking deep down inside you? Have you ever felt a mad yearning to communicate using howls and yips instead of words? When you’re alone, do you sometimes dispense with your utensils and scoop the food off your plate with your fingers? Have you dreamed of running through a damp meadow under the full moon for the sheer ecstasy of it? Do you on occasion experience such strong erotic urges that you feel like you could weave your body and soul together with the color green or the sound of a rain-soaked river or the moon rising over the hills? I ask these questions, Taurus, because now is an excellent time to draw on the instinctual wisdom of your feral qualities.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) “Close some doors today,” writes novelist Paulo Coelho. “Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” I endorse his advice for your use, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to practice the rough but fine art of saying NO. It’s time for you to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don’t; about where your future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won’t; about which relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which tend to push you in the direction of mediocrity. CANCERIAN (June 21–July 22) To

casual observers you may seem to be an amorphous hodgepodge, or a simmering mess of semi-interesting confusion, or an amiable dabbler headed in too many directions at once. But in my opinion, casual observers would be wrong in that assessment. What’s closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes that are ripening in the fog. Here’s another image that resonates with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One further metaphor for you: the bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose plant, which only bloom at night.

LEO (July 23–August 22) I want to make sure that

the groove you’re in doesn’t devolve into a rut. So I’ll ask you unexpected questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions. Ready? 1. How would you describe the untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2. Is there a rare object you’d like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you’d love to attend and how it might change your life for the better. 4. What bird most reminds you of yourself ? 5. What’s your most evocative and inspiring taboo daydream? 6. In your past, were there ever experiences that made you cry for joy in ways that felt almost orgasmic? How might you attract or induce a catharsis like that sometime soon?

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) By volume, the Amazon is the largest river in the world. But where does it originate? Scientists have squabbled about that issue for over 300 years. Everyone agrees the source is in southwestern Peru. But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? There are good arguments in favor of each. Let’s use this question as a poetic subtext as we wonder and meditate about the origin of your life force, Virgo. As is the case for the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. But I suspect that’s going to change during the next 14 months. And the clarification process begins soon. LIBRA (September 23–October 22) When Warsan Shire was a child, she immigrated to the U.K. with her Somalian parents. Now she’s a renowned

By Rob Brezsny

poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants and other marginalized people. To provide support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or fugitive or displaced person, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I offer you two quotes by Shire. 1. “I belong deeply to myself.” 2. “Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself— what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Recreate and repeat.”

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) “Once in a while came a moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you.” So says a character in Alice Munro’s short story “Jakarta.” Now I’m using that message as the key theme of your horoscope. Why? Because you’re at the peak of your ability to be reached, to be touched, to be communicated with. You’re willing to be keenly receptive. You’re strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you’re so firmly anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are? SAGITTARIUS (November 22– December 21) In 1928, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her friend Saxon Sidney Turner. “I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading,” she confided, “since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs 10 others at the same time.” My usual inclination is to counsel you Sagittarians to focus on one or two important matters rather than on a multitude of semi-important matters. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m departing from tradition to suggest you adopt Woolf’s approach to books as your approach to everything. Your life in the coming weeks should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments. CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19)

Not many goats can climb trees, but there are daredevils in Morocco that do. They go in quest of the delicious olive-like berries that grow on argan trees. The branches on which they perch may be 30 feet off the ground. I’m naming them as your power creature for the coming weeks. I think you’re ready to ascend higher in search of goodies. You have the soulful agility necessary to transcend your previous level of accomplishment.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) From 49–45 B.C., civil war wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy’s interests. In 45 B.C., Caesar brought a contingent of soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa, intent on launching a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he accidentally slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, “Africa, I have tight told of you!” and clasped the ground, thus implying he had lowered himself on purpose in a ritual gesture of conquest. In this way, he converted an apparent bad omen into a positive one. And indeed, he won the ensuing battle, which was the turning point that led to ultimate victory and the war’s end. That’s good role modeling for you right now. PISCES (February 19–March 20) Below
