Letters Fur Flies

Whether for meat or for fur (“Bunny Tale,” April 3), utilizing the byproduct normalizes the fur culture. The message of this bill is for the state to denounce support of this unethical industry and prevent reason for fur sales. Excluding rabbit fur from the bill would not be congruent with the values of the majority of California's constituents.

This statewide majority far outweighs the values of the one small Northern California district represented

by Assemblyman Levine. Levin’s spokesperson states: “Assemblymember Levine supports maintaining the highest ethical standards for the production of legal animal products in California.” If it is agreed by the majority that the fur industry is unethical then Mr. Levin must acknowledge all animals regardless of how the byproducts are used.

Lisa Rockwell via Bohemian.com Rabbits are the most abused animals on the planet. Exploited not only for their flesh and fur, they are victimized in research, used as bait and live food for other animals, and even as “pets,” they are often neglected and abandoned resulting in them being the third most euthanized animal in American Shelters. Exempting them from the meager protection of not being skinned alive in order to take their fur is a slap in the face to those of us who value them as the clean quiet engaging and affectionate companions they are.

I wish everyone reading this would call member Levine’s office and ask him to represent his entire district, not just a single constituent and withdraw this ill fated request.

Genevieve Campos via Bohemian.com

Will Carruthers, thank you for taking the the time to interview me for this article. Much of what I said is not included in the article. It’s important that we provide accurate information about rabbits in general, and rabbit fur in specifics.

First, I would like to clarify that SaveABunny is not an animal rights group. We are a 501c3 nonprofit rescue and advocacy group that provides an invaluable, community service. While some individuals who

volunteer for this group may be involved with animal rights groups, the majority of our supporters are families who have adopted rabbits as treasured members of their family.

We work with over 30 animal shelters and have rescued 5,000 rabbits since 1999. We provide an invaluable, life-giving and positive service to California and receive no government funding. We are a grassroots, primarily volunteer-based group. Unlike Mark Pasternack, we do not have a paid lobbyist or tax paid politician working on our behalf.

The photo of rabbits in this article are living in painful, cruel conditions while they wait to die. They are the exact same breed and species you can adopt from your local shelter or a rescue group as a pet. Any rabbit can be called a meat rabbit for convenience. The rabbits in the photo are also babies and juveniles.

What you see is the equivalent of immobilizing veal crates for rabbits.

Rabbits are as intelligent as cats and dogs. Their basic needs to be able to move freely and exercise is not given. Additionally, they are living on hard wire cages which routinely cut into their feet leaving deep, stabbing wounds that go untreated.

Pasternak himself exhibits how there will be increased rabbit farming when he says he sold a trio of breeder rabbits to someone.

What is the business arrangement for this and who does it benefit?

If California truly wants to be a fur free state rabbits should be included and protected in the ban.

Otherwise, it is hypocritical and serves a very small group of people who will make a lot of money.

We would appreciate the opportunity for you to do a follow up on rabbits as companions in the state of California. In the U.S., rabbits are the 4th most popular pet with over 3 millions homes living with companion rabbits. Even Vice President Mike Pence lives with a pet rabbit, so rabbits as pets is hardly a fringe idea and lifestyle.

Thank you again for your time and consideration of the points I have raised.

“For anyone who thinks that this international portfolio is having tea and going on trips, that’s not what this is about,” says Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis.

New Tariff in Town Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is Newsom’s trade-war warrior By Martha Groves/CalMatters

T

he old joke about the California lieutenant governor’s office has been that its occupant’s main duty is to wake up in the morning, see whether the governor is still alive and, if so, go back to bed.

But that was before Gov. Gavin Newsom made Eleni Kounalakis his point woman on President Donald Trump’s trade wars.

Now, California’s lieutenant governor is among the busier officeholders in Sacramento— hustling to meet with members

of Congress, federal agencies and trade organizations and deploying whatever influence she can to protect California’s place in the world market.

She has her work cut out for her. It has been a year since Trump sent a collective shudder through California’s economy, imposing taxes on imported steel and aluminum that in turn prompted China to impose new tariffs on agricultural products.

India and other countries soon followed suit, setting tariffs as

high as 100 percent on some of California’s high-value crops. Since then, the Trump administration has engaged in trade brinkmanship on many fronts—including onagain, off-again threats to close the Mexican border. Meanwhile, a bevy of signature California products— almonds, pistachios, walnuts, wine grapes, oranges, dairy—have teetered on the verge of becoming collateral damage.

So far, the worst-case scenario has not come to pass, and some products, such as pistachios, have

By Nikki Silverstein

ExtraFood, a food recovery program working to end hunger and wasted food in Marin, just received its first refrigerated truck. Until now, the heroic nonprofit relied on its volunteers to transport food in their own vehicles. For the one in five people that need food assistance in our county, the new truck is a gamechanger. It enables the nonprofit to rescue one million pounds of food and feed 9,000 vulnerable people each month. A huge and heroic shout-out to the truck’s sponsors: the Bothin Foundation, Marin Community Foundation, Whole Foods Market, Nugget Markets, Marin General Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, Homeward Bound of Marin, West Marin Community Services, St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin County, Whistlestop Nourish, Marin Sanitary Service, Recology and Zero Waste Marin.

Despite the continued rains, spring has arrived and with it, baby animals. Keeping away from young wildlife may sound like common sense, but apparently some humans lack that gene. The Marine Mammal Center in the Marin Headlands reports that people are taking selfies with harbor seal pups and putting the animals at risk for abandonment by their mothers. And, the center says even when they explain the reason for staying away from the pups; some folks just don’t believe it. Let’s consider the facts: harbor seal moms leave their offspring for short periods of time to forage for food offshore, but they keep an eye on them. If the mother sees a person or a dog near her baby, she’ll often abandon it. Sadly, an abandoned pup slowly starves to death. So forget about that photo with the cute baby seal you see alone on the beach. By skipping the selfie, you may save a pup’s life. The Marine Mammal Center advises people to stay at least 50 yards away from that cute harbor seal pup.

6 Tariff «5 survived relatively unscathed, at least for now. But the damage has not been insignificant, either.

In a report last August, Daniel A. Sumner, an economist with UC Davis’ Agricultural Issues Center and Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, projected that higher tariffs could cost major U.S. fruit and nut industries $2.64 billion per year in exports to countries imposing the higher levies; the economic blow could rise to as much as $3.34 billion because of lower prices in alternative markets.

And some fears have been entirely realized. Sales of California oranges to China are off by more than half, broader problems in the state dairy industry have been exacerbated by trade tussles, and the almond and wine industries have struggled to cope with price pressures and punishing tariffs.

“Whenever you have an atmosphere of uncertainty, it creates a chilling effect,” Kounalakis said in an interview. “Customers in Asia will look for alternatives elsewhere.”

And, she added, if customers find suppliers in other countries— say, Turkey for pistachios or New Zealand for wine—it could be hard for California to win them back.

As he had vowed on the campaign trail, Trump since taking office has hewed to an “America first” protectionist stance, pushing back against Republicans’ traditional embrace of open markets. He pulled out of the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership and pushed for a reboot of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The resulting United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)—what some describe as NAFTA 2.0—faces an uphill battle for ratification in the now Democratic-controlled House.

To ease the burden on hard-hit farmers throughout the country, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has paid out billions of dollars in aid, mostly to producers of soybean, corn and other commodities. Most California growers did not qualify for direct payments, but some sold products to the federal foodpurchase program, which feeds needy U.S. residents; some grower groups received funds to help market their products overseas.

When it comes to trade with China, a huge and growing market, billions of dollars and tens of

thousands of jobs are at stake in California. According to the UC Davis Agricultural Issues Center, the state’s top five agricultural exports in 2017 just to China and Hong Kong amounted to more than $1.6 billion. Last September, China added a 10 percent tariff on U.S. wine imports, atop a previous 15 percent tariff increase implemented in April 2018.

California has 6,800 almond growers, most of them small to medium-size, family-run enterprises.

A study by the Almond Board of California found that the crop generated more than 100,000 jobs, mostly in the Central Valley.

The industry contributes about $11 billion annually to the state’s economy.

For wine grape growers, tariffs have been a double whammy.

U.S.-imposed levies have raised significantly the cost of steel products—wire, stakes, metal posts—needed to establish vineyards.

Under the Trump administration, “things have gotten a lot more bumpy,” said John Aguirre, president of the California Assn. of Winegrape Growers in Sacramento. “We see a much softer market for wine grapes.”

The industry is concerned about continued access to China, which had been a growing market. Last September, China added a 10 percent tariff on U.S. wine imports, atop a previous 15 percent tariff increase implemented in April 2018.

Since trade policy is mostly determined at the federal level, California officials such as Kounalakis have only a limited ability to make a difference. Still, the lieutenant governor—a former ambassador to Hungary during the Obama administration—notes that the state’s size and stake in the market make it critical that California strive to be heard.

“For anyone who thinks that this international portfolio is, you know, having tea and going on trips,” Kounalakis recently joked during a panel discussion in Sacramento, “that’s not what this is about.” Y CalMatters is a nonpartisan, nonprofit journalism venture committed to explaining how California's state capitol works and why it matters.

N EW S B R I E FS License to Grow North Coast state senator Mike McGuire (D, Healdsburg), introduced SB 67 last week in an effort to shore up a teetering legal cannabis market that’s seeing temporary cultivation licenses expire without a long-term solution in place.

The fear, says McGuire, is that cannabis growers in California who were lured from the black market into the new world of legalization, will be “dropping back into the black market at no fault of their own. Without valid licenses, there isn’t a legal, regulated market here in the Golden State and a crisis will take hold.”

The bill would extend temporary growing licenses now held by farmers while their annual applications are being processed.

Gov. Gavin Newsom had already taken executive action to put an expedited licensing process in place but, says McGuire, “we remain

concerned that the processing time may still not be able to address the large number of temporary licenses out there.”

Since the passage of Proposition 64 in 2016, there are some 6,900 temporary state cannabis growing licenses in the state system that will expire by July without government action. Four thousand temporary growing licenses issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture expired this month.

Marin County has taken a cautious approach to the rollout of Proposition 64 and most of the local permitting and licensing activities have been focused on permits for the county’s cannabis-delivery businesses.

Where Sonoma cities such as Santa Rosa have engaged with legalization across the full spectrum—growing, processing, marketing, retail shops—San Rafael, for example, has flat-out banned the commercial cultivation of cannabis within the city limits. Seventy percent of Marin County residents voted in favor of legalization. —Tom Gogola

Flashback 50 Years Ago THIS

The uneasy truce in the San Geronimo Valley between hips and straights was shattered by an Easter Sunday celebration. The straights were outraged by rock music and “obscene” language over WEEK a loudspeaker. But what seemed to bug them the most was the fact that children could redeem prize Easter eggs for money. The hip set considered this a beautiful put-on of what they consider to be the money-oriented middle class society. —April 9, 1969

40Years Ago THIS WEEK

Radioactive steam pouring out of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has driven home the ultimate question about atomic energy—can we afford to keep these plants operating?

There are now 70 active nuclear power plants in the U.S. with 90 under construction, an overall average of more than three for every state in the union.

Nearly every major American city is within 50 miles of at least one. Chicago is ringed with them, as is, to a lesser extent, New York City.

Do the risks of another Three Mile Island outweigh the staggering capital and energy costs of dismantling this mammoth nuclear program?

As I write this, it has been more than a week since the Exxon Valdez plowed into well-known, well-marked Bligh Reef, causing the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Exxon officials are no doubt a-huddle with WEEK lawyers and accountants. The drunken captain, Joseph Hazelwood, is in hiding. To look for an apology is perhaps naive and silly; on the other hand, many judges and juries have opted for the death penalty because a defendant showed no remorse. . . . The federal government should immediately put a price freeze on all Exxon products, so that the corporation has to absorb the cost of the oil spill rather than passing it along to consumers, which you just know is what Exxon is planning to do.—Mary Lowry, April 7, 1989

Projects like this mosaic created

by Youth in Arts is one of many by arts groups in Marin County vying for funds.

Art of the Matter Marin Cultural Association creates a roadmap for local arts community—but who will pay for it? By David Templeton

‘T

he arts are not a charity, we’re an economic driver.

We want to make that message loud and clear.”

So stated Gabriella Calicchio, director of the Marin Cultural Association, within the first several seconds of a high-energy town hallstyle meeting April 2 at the Marin Center in San Rafael. The packed gathering was held to celebrate the recently completed first draft of the long anticipated “Arts and Cultural Master Plan,” and also to collect firsthand feedback on the plan.

Exuberantly titled “Arts Culture Action Marin!” the current 42-page plan is the result of two-plus years

of work by the Marin Cultural Association and stands as an ambitious blueprint/roadmap that could have a profound impact on the future of Marin’s vibrant artistic community.

Pointing to a graph showing the influx of $76 million annually for Marin County—monies created mainly through arts-related jobs, artsbased commerce and the resulting tourism to the area—she described the new master plan as a game-changer.

“This plan is the beginning of a whole new way of thinking about and talking about the arts in the county,” said Calicchio.

How much weight the plan will ultimately have, and whether it

will be worth the effort, is to be determined. The Marin County Board of Supervisors votes on the plan next month, and if it’s adopted—as it is expected to be—there will still be a number of major questions, namely: where will the money come from?

Those questions were on hundreds of lips as the meeting commenced and though spirits were high, the mood was a conspicuous balance of optimism and desperation. Currently, the plan stands as a kind of mysterious holy grail that may be the solution to everyone’s problems, but might just be a fancy way of framing and categorizing the many needs currently facing Marin County’s arts community.

The document (available at MarinCultural.org) was developed under the leadership of Calicchio with contributions from numerous local arts leaders, supporters and outside consultants. The grant-supported report cost $130,000.

Attending the town hall meeting were a who’s who of Marin’s art world: representatives of the Marin Symphony, Marin Theatre Company, the Mountain Play Association, Osher Marin Jewish Community Center, Marin Arts, Marin Open Studios, Actors Equity Association, local schools, arts and recreation departments, and numerous individual artists and arts »8 supporters.

SATURDAY, APRIL 27 | CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY | 5-9PM

Calicchio’s opening remarks set the tone for a wide-ranging, two-hour discussion during which the talk rarely strayed from Calicchio’s underlying point: that Marin’s nonprofit arts community deserves to be thought of as a vital contributor to the county’s overall economy.

But without clear steps toward raising funds in support of the plan’s far-reaching goals, how useful is it?

Calicchio suggested a potential arts tax, or perhaps a percent-for-art ordinance requiring developers to contribute a fraction of new building costs toward an arts fund.

Calicchio suggested it’s high time the county found new ways to support the arts.

“We have more artists per capita than any other county besides L.A., but there has never been a dedicated funding source for the arts in this county,” she said.

“Our public feedback indicates that a large percentage of Marin County residents would support a tax to pay for the arts,” said David Plettner-Sanders, managing partner for The Cultural Planning Group, a San Diego-based consultancy firm that worked on the plan. “So do know that your community is behind you.”

So what, exactly, is in the plan?

And are there any clear ideas in the thing that can quickly deliver the goods to an arts community desperate for cash? The actual “plan” boils down to just a six-page list of strategies formed around three distinct, but vague goals.

The first goal, for example, is to cultivate and advance Marin as “an arts and cultural center.” The second is to ensure that Marin’s arts are “by and for everyone,” which seems to address a need for more diversity within the arts and those who have access to arts programs. The third goal is to sustain and grow Marin’s arts resources.

As for how such goals will be addressed, each one comes with a list of proposed strategies, but no clear path to implementation.

Under goal No. 1 (cultivating Marin as an arts center), the strategies include “supporting the advancement of Marin’s artistic identity,” while another suggests promoting an “awareness of, participation in, and support for Marin’s Arts and Culture.”

The four strategies accompanying

goal No. 3—focusing on growing Marin’s arts resources—are essentially a breakdown of demographic groups (nonprofits, individual artists) and their needs (more space for arts, and more funding), with a loosely stated aim of increasing such funding for Marin’s arts community.

One attendee expressed concern that the plan did not include a commitment to working with trade unions in the county.

Another wants an end to legal restrictions on billboards and murals.

Another gentleman expressed alarm that shut-in veterans were not specifically named as part of those underserved communities mentioned in Goal No. 2.

But nearly everyone in the room had something strong to say about the lack of local money for the arts. The impression given was of an infinite number of Robin Hoods, eager to serve their targeted communities, all competing for the same small sack of gold.

“It’s a good beginning, a positive start,” said Bruce Burtch, a San Rafael-based arts consultant and the founder of the Marin Youth Poster Contest. “But there are a plethora of arts opportunities in this county,” he continued, referencing the numerous performances, classes, competitions and other programs that often struggle to find actual participants.

As for how the Art and Culture Master Plan will fit into solving such issues, the plan’s creators say it will be one step at a time. And the next step, according to Calicchio, is to take the comments collected at the meeting, combine them with public feedback generated through Marin Cultural’s website and then develop a definitive iImplementation plan.

That document will be voted on by the Board of Supervisors May 14.

Assuming they vote in support of the plan, a public launch party will then be held sometime in September.

Then, of course, the real work begins.

And clearly, a big part of that work—and the underlying dream buried in the vagueness and uncertainty of this master plan— will be in finding a way for Marin County to dig deep, get creative, and start paying for the big, vibrant, very hungry local arts scene the community so frequently claims to value.

‘Shazam’ is ‘Big,’ but with superpowers By Richard von Busack

M

ostly satisfying, often juvenile, Shazam is a Christmas-in-Easter superhero origin story. It’s Xmas in Philadelphia.

Young Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is brought via subway to a grotto wherein a dying wizard (Djimon Hounsou) dwells. He, Ancient Shazam, passes on the powers he has held for centuries, after a long search for a pure-hearted kid. Billy, who has his sorrows as a foster child, comments, “I don’t think there’s anyone like that.” Yet, when Billy utters the magic word “Shazam,” a lightning bolt changes him into Earth’s Mightiest Mortal: a hunk played by Zachary Levi, the Jewish prince physician on Amazon Prime’s original series Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. This new Shazam is a novice superhero who doesn’t even know his own strength, despite the coaching from his

foster brother Freddy ( Jack Dylan Grazer), a motor-mouthed reject who treasures a bullet flattened from the chest of Superman himself, complete with a certificate of authenticity.

Why this figure is called Shazam instead of Captain Marvel, as he was in the 1940s, is a long and boring story of copyrights easily explained on the Internet. The Swedish director David Sandberg brings a ponderous, antiseptic touch to this adventure with plenty of bonding time between Billy and his new foster siblings. As the youngest Darla, the charming Faithe Herman seems to model her performance on Sally Brown from the Peanuts TV specials.

Playing the evil Dr. Sivana, who pursues Billy in both his forms, Mark Strong goes harshly serious, and thus has neither the chuckling menace of the shrimpy bald nemesis in the comics or anything to differentiate

himself from other generic comic book villains lurking about. And he should have had more of a good time, seeing as his character is all seven deadly sins wrapped up in one man.

The wise-ass little kidisms here are fitfully amusing—in his adult form, Billy gets to do the things he’d always wanted, like buying beer and sneaking into a ‘gentleman’s club.’

Ultimately, one wished there had been more bounce and less grit, more of the easy delightful stuff such as Shazam’s saving of a plunging bus, where he ends up cheek to cheek with an almost-victim through the cracked windshield glass. Truly the most fun was the surprise appearance of one of the comic book’s most ingenious villains, which takes place, appropriately for the season, in an Easter egg.

‘Shazam’ is playing in wide North Bay release.

Enjoyable, though uneven, Charlie Brown plays in Novato By Harry Duke

Y

ou won’t find Clark Gesner’s You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown in the pantheon of great American musicals. What began as a concept album in 1966 soon transmogrified into a very successful off-Broadway show that never really cut it on Broadway.

Nevertheless, its simple staging and audience familiarity with the source material have made it a staple of community theaters. The Novato Theater Company brings it to their stage in a Michael Ross-directed production that runs through April 28.

There’s no plot to speak of, just a series of vignettes featuring the beloved characters from the Charles Schulz strip. The daily tribulations of Charlie Brown (Robert Nelson), Linus (Lorenzo Alviso), Lucy (Tika Moon),

Sally (Julianne Thompson Bretan), Schroeder (Paul Hogarth), and Snoopy (Jake Gale) are set to Gesner’s pleasant but mostly unmemorable music and lyrics.

The musical covers familiar “Peanuts” territory with bits like Charlie Brown’s pining for the little redheaded girl, Linus’s blanket and Lucy’s psychiatrist booth.

Ross’s cast is uneven. Nelson, a usually reliable musical-comedy performer, misses the mark as Charlie Brown, coming off as more of a whiner than the melancholy, gentlehearted character we’ve come to know.

Moon needs to find more variation in her delivery for Lucy.

Alviso hits the mark as the philosophical Linus, whose asides are a frequent source of amusement.

Hogarth has fun with “Beethoven

Day”—one of the show’s better musical numbers—and Thompson Bretan makes for a feisty Sally. Gale, whose take on Snoopy as the smartest “person” in the room is an interesting one, delivers the show’s high point with his spirited delivery of “Suppertime.”

The simple, functional set by Michael Walraven gets a lift from the enormously colorful scenic artistry of Kristy Arroyo.

Affection for Schulz’s creation aside, in the end You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown is as two-dimensional as one of the strips. ’You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown’ runs Friday–Sunday through April 28 at the Novato Theater Company, 5420 Nave Drive, Ste. C, Novato. Friday– Saturday, 8pm; Sunday, 2pm. $18–$30.

Makes 3 large pancakes

Ingredients • 1 cup prepared pancake batter, preferably Krusteaz, rested for at least 10 minutes • 1 slice ham, mortadella, prosciutto or bacon, cut into half-inch pieces • 2 tablespoons finely diced Swiss cheese • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving • 1 large egg • 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream • Freshly ground black pepper, red pepper flakes or hot sauce (optional) • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

On the table pancake French toast is a formidable adversary: fat, rounded and heavy.

Breakfast Breakthough Pancake French Toast? Why not By Ari LeVaux

N

ecessity is the mother of invention, and I am the father of two young necessities. That is why, in the foggy hours of a recent morning, I invented pancake French toast.

They wanted French toast for breakfast, but we were out of bread. I wondered if we had any other bread-like materials in the house that could be soaked in egg and fried in butter. I decided on pancakes.

Making French toast out of pancakes involved an extra step of making blueberry pancakes first, but disaster was averted. After the school bus left I got back to work.

Though I rarely eat breakfast, I was

curious about those golden brown disks of French toast pancakes. I’m not a sweet-breakfast person; I like my eggs salty and spicy. I saw no reason why pancake French toast couldn’t be savory.

After all, crepes—those beloved French pancakes—come with both sweet and savory fillings. So savory French toast pancakes made sense, at least on paper. I began my experiments. A mushroom and garlic version was lovely, as was the tofu scallion. My favorite is ham and cheese.

One thing they all have in common is their supple, spongyyet-toothy texture. A brown, crispy, French toast-like exterior guards an eggy batter below the surface, and

a dry puffy pancake in the middle.

At the table, they are formidable adversaries: fat, rounded and heavy.

Unlike most pancakes, which leave you hungry a few minutes later, these won’t abandon your belly.

In this recipe, pancakes are dipped in beaten eggs, as if they were slices of bread. For lovers of sweet breakfast, the same technique can be used, with berries in the pancake mix and cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla in the French toast batter.

I hate to sound like a shill, but the best pancakes I’ve ever made have been with Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix. I first tried it in Alaska as a breading for deep-fried halibut, mixed with beer instead of water.

It’s magical stuff.

1. In a medium bowl, combine the pancake batter, ham and cheese.

Heat a stovetop griddle to mediumhigh. Coat it with 1 tablespoon butter, and the scoop out the pancake batter to form 3 large pancakes. Don’t worry about any protruding pieces of ham or cheese. They will fall in line when you flip the pancakes. Cook for about 2 minutes per side; overcooking will create an impermeable skin that won’t soak up the French toast batter.

Remove the cooked pancakes and let them cool on a plate for about 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, crack the egg into the unwashed vessel in which you mixed the pancake batter. Add the milk and spices, if desired, and beat. Incorporate as much of the leftover pancake mix as possible in order to give body to the French toast batter. One at a time, dip the cooled pancakes into the French toast batter. The art is to let them soak for just the right amount of time. Too quick, and they don’t absorb enough French toast batter.

Too long and they can disintegrate.

About 30 seconds should do it.

3. In a pan on medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat. Add the battered pancakes, then pour any remaining batter on top of the pancakes; it will run down the sides and start cooking into scrambled eggs. When the egg around the sides looks cooked, about 2 minutes, flip the pancakes and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Serve with salsa, mayonnaise or gravy.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal rep-resentative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The indepen-dent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 4/15/2019, Time: 9:00AM, Dept.: J, Address of court: 3501 Civic Center Drive, PO Box 4988, San Rafael, CA 94913-4988. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California~Probate Code, or (2)

60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California~Probate~Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in~Probate~Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

By Amy Alkon

Q:

I’m so tired of these supposed magician multitaskers on their cellphones. The guy I’m dating and some of my friends don’t seem to get how disrespectful it feels when they play around on their phone or text while I’m talking to them. Am I crazy to want eye contact and attention when I’m talking?—Irritated

A:

This smartphone multitasking thing probably goes further than anyone knows – like, I’m picturing a parishioner in the confessional and the priest in the adjoining booth on his phone, shopping for a new cassock: “Next-day delivery. Sweet!” Parishioner: “Um, father...did you hear me say I murdered three people and still have them in my trunk out back?”

Somebody came up with an annoyingly cute name—phubbing (a mash of “phone” and “snubbing”)—for when someone ignores you in a social setting by being all up in their phone. Not surprisingly, research by social psychologist Varoth Chotpitayasunondh finds that phubbing comes off as a form of social ostracism—allowing the snub-ee to experience that fun feeling some of us had in third grade when other kids diagnosed us with cooties and sentenced us to eat alone for the rest of elementary school.

Chotpitayasunondh’s research suggests that being phubbed by friends and acquaintances threatens our fundamental need for “belongingness.” Other research on phubbing’s effects in romantic partnerships finds (again, not surprisingly!) that it erodes intimacy and makes for less-satisfying relationships and diminished personal well-being.

Regarding phubbers’ skewed priorities, the title of a study by communications prof James A. Roberts says it all: “My life has become a major distraction from my cell phone.”

The important thing to remember is that you have a choice in how you are treated—whether you’ll put up with having, oh, 46 percent of someone’s attention. Your power in pushing for respectful treatment comes out of what I call the “walk away principle”: how willing you are, when somebody refuses to give you the level of respect you want, to just say, “Well, I’ll miss you!”

Q:

I’ve been in recovery from drugs for six years, and I had to set a boundary with an old friend who’s abusing drugs again and lying to me and using me. I kept trying to help him, but all the lying and scamming was just too much. I finally blocked him on my phone—as I knew I had to. So why do I feel so bad about it?—Been There

A:

A guy will insist he’s clean, tell you he’s finally just “high on life”—a state which...hmmm...doesn’t usually involve shouting matches with the curtains.

Your feelbad about saying no to any further convos with this guy actually has some ancient roots. Ancestral humans lived in a seriously harsh environment, so we evolved to cooperate—to work together and help each other—making it less likely we’d starve to death and/or get eaten by lions. But people don’t always put out a memo listing their needs, so how do we know when to help? Well, welcome to the evolution of empathy, our tuning into others’ emotions and “catching” what they’re feeling (to some degree).

Unless you’re a sociopath or a sex robot, empathy rises up automatically, as does its sister state, compassion. Compassion, as I define it in "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck,” is “empathy with an action plan”—motivating us to want to do something to help when we see a person suffering.

In other words, your emotional overlords have been pinging you, alerting you that somebody’s in distress, and unfortunately, reason (as usual!) is late to the party. That’s to be expected, because reason is what cognitive scientists call an “effortful process,” in contrast with the automatic “Awww, poor you!” of empathy.

Get reason out of bed and use it to remind yourself that you weren’t helping this guy; you were enabling him—“protecting (him) from the consequences of his behavior” (as they put it at HazeldonBettyFord.com). Sure, there may come a time when he’s ready to “say no to drugs,” but right now, he and drugs are having some very interesting conversations and may even start a podcast.

Astrology

For the week of April 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Qing Dynasty

controlled China from the mid-seventeenth century to the early twentieth century. It was the fifth biggest empire in world history. But eventually it faded, as all mighty regimes do. Revolution came in 1911, forcing the last emperor to abdicate and giving birth to the Republic of China. I'm inclined to think of your life in 2019 as having some similarities to that transition. It's the end of one era and the beginning of another; a changing of the guard and a passing of the torch. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to be very active in deciding and visualizing the empire you want next.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope that

sometime soon you'll acquire a new source of support or inspiration. Now is a phase of your astrological cycle when you're likely to attract influences that are in alignment with your deep values. This addition might be a person or animal. It could be a vibrant symbol or useful tool. It may even be a fantasy character or departed ancestor that will stimulate vitality you haven’t been able to summon on your own. Be on the lookout for this enhancement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poet David Hinton analyzed the Chinese word for "poetry." Its etymological meaning is "words spoken at the fertility altar." Let's make that your theme, even if you don't write or read poetry. I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to take a vow or utter a solemn intention in front of a homemade fertility altar. The oath you speak might express a desire to boost your use of your physical vitality: your lust for life, your adoration of the natural world, or your power to produce new human life. Or your vow to foster your fertility could be more metaphorical and symbolic in nature: the imaginative intimacy you will explore or the creativity you'll express in future works of art or the generous effects you want to have on the world.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Christopher Robin Milne was the son of author A. A. Milne, who wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. He said there are two ways to navigate through life. Either you "take a bearing on something in the future and steer towards it, or take a bearing on something in the past and steer away from it." So in his view, "There are those who look ahead and pull and those who look behind and push." I'm hoping that in the coming weeks and months, you will make a delighted commitment to the first option: taking a bearing on something in the future and steering towards it. I think that approach will inspire you toward the most interesting success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The national animal of Finland is the brown bear. The national insect is the ladybug and the national instrument is a stringed instrument known as the kantele. As for the national author, it's Aleksis Kivi, who produced just one novel that took him 10 years to write. He also published a short collection of odes and a few plays, adding up to a grand total of less than 800 pages of work. I think that the efforts you make in the coming weeks could have a disproportionately large impact as well, Leo. What you lack in quantity will be irrelevant compared to the sheer quality you generate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I follow the blogger Evanescent Voyager because she makes me cry with sad joy and exultant poignance on a regular basis. One of her other fans wrote her a love note I could have written myself. It said, "Your emotional brilliance and thoughtful passion break me into pieces and then weave me back together with more coherence than I had before reading you. I revere your alchemical talent for undoing me so you can heal me; for lowering my defenses so I can be open to your riches; for demolishing my habitual trance so you can awaken my sleeping genius." I believe that in the coming weeks, life itself will offer to perform these same services for you, Virgo. I urge you to accept!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "Love is no

assignment for cowards." That's a quote attributed to the ancient Roman poet Ovid. What did he

By Rob Brezsny

mean? Was he foreshadowing the wisdom of pop singer Pat Benatar, who in 1983 told us, "Love is a battlefield"? Was Ovid implying that to succeed in the amorous arts we must be heroic warriors prepared to overcome fears and risk psychological dangers? Probably. But I will also point out that it takes as much courage to create fun, interesting togetherness as it does to wrestle with the problems that togetherness brings. You need just as much bravura and panache to explore the sweet mysteries of intimacy as you do to explore the achy mysteries of intimacy. Keep these thoughts in mind as you marshal your audacity to deepen and expand your best relationships in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The literal

meaning of the French term jolie-laide is "pretty and ugly." Bloggers at wordsnquotes.com define it as follows: "It's a fascinating quirkiness that's irresistible, like a face you want to keep looking at even if you can't decide whether it is beautiful or not." Jolie-laide overlaps with the Japanese term wabi-sabi, which describes a person or thing that is lovely because of its imperfection and incompleteness. I bring these facts to your attention because I think you have extraordinary potential to be a master embodier of both jolie-laide and wabisabi in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As Czech playwright Vaclav Havel (1936–2011) matured, he became a political dissident who opposed the Soviet Union's authoritarian grip on his country. Eventually he was a key player in the Velvet Revolution that banished Communism.

When Czechoslovakia emerged as a new democracy, its people elected him president. Havel later thanked Lou Reed and the band the Velvet Underground for fully awakening his liberationist leadership. He said their unruly music stoked his longing to establish a culture where total creative freedom was possible. I mention this, Sagittarius, because now is a favorable time to identify the music or art or films or literature that might fuel your emancipation in the coming months.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn

author J. R. R. Tolkien toiled on his masterpiece The Lord of the Rings for 12 years. Once he finished, it wasn't published for more than five years. So 17 years passed between the time he launched his precious project and the time when it reached an audience.

I don't think you will need that much patience in shepherding your own venture to full expression, Capricorn. But I hope you'll summon as much faith in yourself as Tolkien had to rouse in himself. To do so will bring out the best in you!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Released in 1998, The Prince of Egypt is an animated film that tells the story of the Hebrew prophet Moses. In the climactic event, the hero uses magic to part the waters of the Red Sea, allowing his people to run across the sea floor and escape the army that's chasing them.

To make that seven-minute scene, 28 professional animators labored for 318,000 hours. In the coming months, you could create your own version of that marvel, Aquarius. But you'll need a team to help you, and that team is not yet ready to go. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get it ready, though.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean

businessman Steve Jobs testified that taking LSD was "one of the two or three most important things" he ever did in his life. It opened his mind in ways he felt were crucial to his development. What are the three most important things you've ever done, Pisces? I invite you to revisit at least one of them, and see if you can take it to the next step of its power to inspire you. What if it has even more to offer you in your efforts to become the person you want to be?

Adult After-Hours Clinic in Novato.

Great medical care after hours and on weekends.

Irene Teper, MD, Internal Medicine

M

arin Healthcare District and Prima Medical Foundation are pleased to offer our community the convenience, cost savings, and peace of mind that after hours medical services provide.

Based in Novato, our Adult After-Hours Clinic offers affordable, after hours care to adult patients on weeknights and weekends.

Your Primary Care Physician (PCP) is one of your best allies in guiding a healthy lifestyle. Most of us have experienced a time or two when we’ve wanted or needed to see our doctor for an illness but no appointments were available or the times did not fit in our busy schedules.

The Adult After-Hours Clinic is available for patients who: • Are suffering with a respiratory illness, a sore throat, worried about an ear infection, or experiencing an asthma flare up.

• Think they may have a urinary tract infection or have a rash.

• Need a physical or a doctor’s clearance for a job application but can’t easily get off work during the day for the appointment.

• Have an urgent symptom and feel it

can’t wait until they are able to see their PCP. You should go to the Emergency Room if you: • Believe you have broken a bone(s).

• Have an injury or symptom that will likely require stitches or X-rays.

• Have chest pain – if you suspect a heart attack, call 911 immediately.

• Have neurological symptoms and are worried about a possible stroke, call 911 immediately.

Physicians in our Clinic see patients and work collaboratively with Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners. Patients are triaged to determine if an injury or illness requires further attention such as an X-ray or lab tests. Some issues can be resolved in one visit; for example, diagnosing a urinary tract infection, strep throat, or flu. Just as with a doctor visit during regular hours, patients will be referred to appropriate follow-up care if needed.

Patients who call for appointments can be seen the same day. Appointments can be made for another day if it is more convenient for the patient. To prevent waiting or exposure to sick patients, we encourage calling ahead;

however, we will appropriately triage walk-ins and will not turn patients away.

Treatment summaries after a visit to the Adult After-Hours Clinic will be sent to patients’ PCPs; patients without a PCP will be treated and referred to a list of doctors in the area should they want or need to make an appointment for follow-up care.

We accept most insurances carried

by Primary Care Physicians. Expect to pay the same co-pay that you pay when you see your PCP. If you do not have insurance, there is a cash pay option available at the time of service.

Here’s how to make an appointment at the Adult After-Hours Clinic.

• During normal business hours, call your PCP’s office to make an appointment at the Adult After-Hours Clinic.

• If you do not have a PCP or it is after hours, call the clinic directly at 1-415-925-8950.
