››LETTERS Alhambra just a drop in the bucket! It seems that Marin County Civic Center gets Alhambra water delivery even though they tell us Something in the water, Marin? citizens that Marin water is safe. It makes me think they are lying or being wasteful with money. I have a picture of the Alhambra water truck being emptied at the Civic Center. I’d bet they pay more for water than they do for some of the salaries of the low-end workers at the center. Rob Spear, San Rafael
All roads lead to San Rafael This article [“San Rafael Residents Ruining Everyone’s Commute, Study Says,” Jan. 4] misrepresents the fact that many other adjoining towns connecting to the main San Rafael artery, in fact, use San Rafael to get to the city! The data totally miss this fact and thusly the conclusions drawn are misrepresented and even ridiculous. Consider people from San Anselmo, Fairfax, Woodacre, San Geronimo, even people from Greenbrae, Kentfield and Larkspur who might use Wolfe Grade to then connect with Second Street, to get to the freeway.
What about people taking kids to schools and other drop-off points in San Rafael, who then get on the freeway via Second Street? What about the fact that people commuting from further north, from Sonoma and Napa counties have greatly impacted the density of traffic through Marin in general? You don’t even touch upon that in your article at all and that is a huge factor with the issue. Isolating and even blaming residents of San Rafael is simply absurd. I think your article warrants a rewrite. T. Capaldo, San Rafael
Editor’s note: Thanks Ms. Capaldo for so passionately defending your great city’s traffic proficiency. When we first read the study we, too, thought—well, of course, the cars hit the highway from San Rafael; it’s the main feeding point to the 101 for the Ross and San Geronimo valleys. But, as we reported, the study sorted drivers by town-of-residence using cell phone data (researchers looked at the location of the cell-phone towers the drivers used at night). So, fairly or unfairly, the study is suggesting that it’s a glut of San Rafael residents who are clogging up the roads of Marin.
Pizza resistance Regarding David from Ross Valley’s letter about Pizzalina opening at Red Hill Shopping Center in San Anselmo [“Hoity Toity Pizza Won’t Be Seeing My Dough,” Jan. 4]: How myopic. Pizzalina is exactly what this area needed...a local resident opening a family-friendly restaurant with the intent to bring all family together, regardless of age. I’ve dined three times in the last few months, each time bringing my two chil-
dren, and am delighted with Ms. Franz’s dedication to creating an excellent menu, seasonal and sustainable, while providing a much-needed kick to the local scene for great food. Corporate-owned Round Table is hardly “local.” I gladly support our individually owned local businesses, and will continue to do so, as I know I will receive consistently good product and service, above and beyond, as these owners’ lives depend on it. The cliche “nothing personal, it’s just business” is ridiculous; when a local resident spends years in the creation of a vision that will bring wonderful food and community together, it’s totally personal. Karen Parisi, San Rafael
Montezuma’s other revenge... In response to Jacob Shafer’s end-ofyear issue cover story [“End of the World As We Knew It,” Dec. 28], I wish to point out that the calendar pictured both on the cover and in the article itself is not the Mayan calendar. It is the Aztec calendar. This mistake is so widespread it may in fact have derailed the apocalypse (so thank you)! I live part time in Yucatan, Mexico, near the Mayan ruins of Uxmal, and was there on Dec. 21, 2012. There was a strong police presence there and at Chichen Itza. It seems they were prepared for apocalyptic mayhem. I spoke with a couple of local Mayan people about the inauspicious date. They laughed or smiled and said, “No one but God knows if and when the world will end. Put God first in your life and you need not worry, because you will be ready.” In a time rampant with fear, anxiety and the full spectrum of apocalyptic human emotion, the calm, down-to-earth levity of these local people and the common (or uncommon) sense wisdom they imparted were a comforting and hopeful breath of fresh air! Alex W., San Rafae
Non-bused, nonplussed... It’s a good thing that San Rafael residents aren’t taking this article [“San Rafael Residents Ruining Everyone’s Commute, Study Says”] personally. Particularly when buses were cut from most San Rafael neighborhoods years ago within a five-mile radius to a bus depot offering no public parking. Not to mention the high-speed train we’ve been trying to get forever that would allow public transportation to be utilized to a much larger degree. Numerous entrepreneurs living, working and serving us in Marin with demanding long and unusual hours make using public transportation an impossibility. Just returned from a country that primarily uses the subway...safe, clean, modern and reliable. Someone said, “I’ll bet you’ll be glad not to have to take the subway anymore.” I replied, “Are you kidding? It’s been wonderful not to have to fight the traffic and relax while commuting. We’ve been fighting for a good system in Marin forever!” And for those of you who have been in Marin a long time, you may remember when we were asked to vote on a “double-decker” Golden Gate Bridge. Of course it didn’t pass because Marin was too concerned about “aesthetics.” And look where that decision has gotten our freeway now. Lori, San Rafael
It wasn’t really the ‘double decker’ part of the plan that Marinites objected to so much as it was that northbound vehicles would all plunge into the icy bay.
Still better than one about man from Nantucket... Roses are red, Violets are blue, You think this poem will rhyme, But it won’t. Craig Whatley, San Rafael
Only if it’s a golden re-tree-ver! I’m writing regarding San Rafael’s Jonathan Frieman challenging the concept that a corporation should have First Amendment rights as if it were a person [“Frieman Contests Carpool Violation, Corporate Personhood,” Jan. 4]. Just shows how asinine the whole corporate-citizen issue is. By extension, when a dog pisses on a fire hydrant or a tree, does the hydrant or the tree become legally a canine? Dave Green, Ontario Next you’ll tell us our advent calendar doesn’t date back to the first Christmas... 6 PACIFIC SUN JANUARY 11 - JANUARY 17, 2013

Counting carbons Can Resilient Neighborhoods be first step in lowering carb footprint? by Pe te r Se id m an
T
here’s a new link in the sustainability chain in Marin. Resilient Neighborhoods has just completed a pilot program that sought to engage households in taking responsibility for reducing their carbon footprints. Tamra Peters, who serves on the board of Sustainable Marin, started thinking about connecting residents in a low-carbon community about three years ago. “I had been wanting to do something about climate change,” she says, “and I was very interested in emergency preparedness.” Connecting the goals of carbon reduction and increased emergency preparedness intrigued her. In Palo Alto some years ago, people were distributing information about ways to protect the environment. Another group of people were distributing information about emergency preparedness. “I linked the two in my mind.” About 20 years ago, Peters worked with David Gershon, who in 2006 came out with a book titled Low Carbon Diet: A 30-day program to lose 5,000 pounds. In carbon consumption that is. Peters used the low carbon diet as the basis for the Resilient Neighborhoods goal of reducing carbon emissions.
She created the emergency preparedness component for Resilient Neighborhoods working with the city of San Rafael emergency preparedness office. She and people on her Resilient Neighborhoods team worked on a third component: supporting a local low-carbon economy, one aimed at curbing consumption. Those three elements form the foundation of Resilient Neighborhoods. About a year ago, Resilient Neighborhoods embarked on a pilot project that sought to engage groups of five to seven Marin households in a grassroots effort to curb carbon emissions. In the program, the households formed eco teams that met five times over about two months. The goal was to follow a carbon-reducing diet to curb household carbon emissions by 500,000 pounds in a year. Staff from Resilient Neighborhoods attended each meeting to provide information about ways to reduce emissions, build a local low-carbon economy and connect neighbors to create communities that could meet emergencies. “The goal was to get 100 households,” says Peters. In the latest update of its newsletter, the December issue, which came out about one year after the start of the pilot program, Resilient Neighborhoods listed 90 households formed into 10 >

Corporation-as-carpool dispute curbed Alas, a disputed carpool lane infraction didn’t loosen corporate America’s grip on election financing, as San Rafael resident Jonathan Frieman’s creative ticket appeal fell on unsympathetic ears this week at Marin Traffic Court. Frieman on Monday contested his $478 carpool lane violation on the grounds that while driving south through the two-passenger lane in Novato last October, a set of incorporating documents constituted a second person in the vehicle—if the U.S. Supreme Court grants corporations the same free speech rights as citizens, as it seemed to in the 2010 Citizens United ruling, argued Frieman, then he and his corporation papers count as two people in the carpool lane. Frieman says he has driven in carpool lanes about 25 times over the last several years in the hopes of a citation—and a chance to challenge corporate personhood in court. According to a press release from Kathleen Russell Consulting, the Mill Valleybased firm handling publicity for Frieman’s quest for justice, state vehicle code 470’s definition of a person includes “natural persons and corporations.” Frieman has vowed to appeal the case all the way to the Supreme Court “in an effort to expose the impracticality of corporate personhood.” “Corporations are imaginary entities, and we’ve let them run wild,” says Frieman. “Their original intent 200 years ago at the dawn of our nation was to serve human beings. So I’m wresting back that power by making their personhood serve me.” The concept of corporate personhood has been an ongoing controversy for years—but it hit the mainstream in 2010 following the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, which held that restricting political expenditures by corporations was a violation of their First Amendment rights to free speech. Implicit in such a ruling, some argue, is that the Constitution grants protections to corporations as if they were people. Representing Frieman at traffic court was attorney Ford Greene—he, too, says the state vehicle code treats a person and a corporation as equivalent. “ When a corporation is present in one’s car, it is sufficient to qualify as a twoperson occupancy for commuter lane purposes,” says Greene, who’s also a San Anselmo city councilmember. “When the corporate presence in our electoral process is financially dominant, by parity it appears appropriate to recognize such presence in an automobile.” Court takes bite out of shark finning Sharks and those who love them are thrilled to the gills this week, after a federal court upheld a California law banning the sale of shark fins. U.S. District Court judges in San Francisco ruled Jan. 2 that the fin-sale prohibition was well within the state’s authority and that the law was necessary to ensure the survival of the sea species at the top of the food chain. The shark-fin legislation was cosponsored in 2011 by then-Assemblyman Jared 10

VAn anonymous gentleman brightened the new year for those sitting near him at the Novato DMV on Jan. 2. Since we don’t know his name, we’ll call him Mr. B011, his number from the DMV line. He encouraged and comforted an 83-yearold woman who was fretting about taking the written driving exam. When it was her turn at the window, Mr. B011 watched her pull dollar bills and change from her handbag; however, she was short on the fee. Ignoring her protests, he paid the difference. Soon his number was called and he was gone. Mr. B011, a witness to your kindness would like you to know that your elderly acquaintance passed her test and was shedding happy tears as she left the DMV.

WAccording to the California Department of Health, more than 43,000 Californians die every year from tobacco use. In addition, 75 percent of California smokers started smoking before age 18 and the younger they were when they started to smoke, the harder it is to quit. For those reasons, and because it’s illegal, we shouldn’t sell cigarettes to minors. No one would, right? Wrong. The Marin County Sheriff ’s Office conducted an undercover sting, using a teenager to attempt to buy tobacco, at 48 businesses. Ten people, men and women, young and old, actually sold to the kid. All were cited for a misdemeanor and released. We think a more fitting punishment is for the cops to lock the ten Zeros in a smoke-filled room for a while. — Nikki Silverstein

< 8 Counting carbons eco teams and 18 in the process of forming. The neighborhood carbon-reduction model, which relies on individual responsibility rather than government intervention, far surpassed the carbon-reduction goal. As of December, the eco team households had reduced their carbon consumption by 1,063,363 pounds. Peters says the reductions are quantifiable based on work done in Portland in connection with the EPA, which determined how many pounds of carbon a specific action would reduce: doing larger but fewer laundry loads, for example. By the end of the pilot program, Resilient Neighborhoods had eco teams in Sausalito, San Anselmo, Mill Valley, Larkspur, Fairfax, Novato and San Rafael, which has written the Resilient Neighborhoods program into the sustainability element of its general plan. San Rafael as well as Sustainable Marin and Dominican University have sponsored the effort. So has Emergency Upgrade California, the state’s energy efficiency program. Resilient Neighborhoods got a nod from the business community with an eco team at Autodesk, which strategized during lunch hour. Drawing interest from virtually anywhere—businesses, congregations, the sustainability community or even just friends and neighbors connecting—highlights the philosophy of created community that lies at the heart of Resilient Neighborhoods. In several key ways, the Resilient Neighborhoods strategy mirrors the Transition Towns movement. That got its start in a big way in Canada with the release of The End of Suburbia, a documentary that reached cult-like status. The film posits that when the world enters the era of peak oil, the suburban lifestyle that blossomed, some say exploded, in the second half of the 20th Century will self-destruct without a constantly expanding world supply of oil. In 2004, the film made its way to Kinsale Further Education College in Ireland. Students who saw it decided to take action. They founded the Transition Towns movement, and using classic community organizing tactics, the students began spreading the word that rather than relying on arthritic political systems, concerned citizens around the world should confront the related issues of peak oil and climate change in their own ways in their own communities. By 2010, there were about 300 Transition Towns organizations around the world. Seventy-four of them were in this country, according to Transition United States, based in Sebastopol. That’s a fairly hefty percentage of total transition groups, especially considering that Transition United States got started only in January 2009. In the North Bay, residents in Sebastopol and Cotati fired up their local Transition Towns groups. In Marin the idea also spread, including groups in West Marin, Mill Valley and other cities. Transi10 PACIFIC SUN JANUARY 11 - JANUARY 17, 2013
tion United States figures there are at least four significant (attempts) to mull it over for each official transition initiative. The foundation of the transition movement rests on a core principal that unless people take actions in their own communities to decrease carbon consumption and increase self-reliant communities, the country and the world will sooner or later face catastrophe resulting from declining petroleum supplies and a degraded environment. Some call the philosophy alarmist, but adherents participate on a continuum. Outliers are closer to survivalists, but the more moderate participants, like Resilient Neighborhoods eco teams, believe that creating neighborhood communities where people know each other, exchange keys, look out for each other, can produce an organically bonded community that can withstand an emergency better by working together. That kind of bonded community also can promote a new paradigm low-carbon community. As an example, says Peters, neighbors could go to a local hardware store and say that if the store stocks LED light bulbs, the neighbors will buy from that store. Promoting a low-carbon diet that creates a low-carbon local economy is inherent in the strategy. In another example of a Transition Towns and Resilient Neighborhoods strategy to reduce consumption, West Marin started a tool library and a community garden to share resources in the community to obviate the need for outside supply. While Transition Towns forms the philosophical foundation for a low-carbon diet and reduced consumption, Resilient Neighborhoods is like an action plan. The eco teams trade information and tips, and that kind of proliferation produces new ways to reduce consumption in a kind of viral chain reaction. In 2006, the Empowerment Institute started to work on how cities and their residents could be persuaded to make cultural and economic changes to embrace what in a best-case scenario would be a carbon-neutral existence. The low carbon diet was born. It offers 24 actions to reduce a household’s carbon footprint. More than 300 “Cool Communities” have taken up the challenge in 36 states to achieve a 25-percent reduction in their carbon footprints. The Cool Community model has been replicated and adapted for China, Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. But spreading word about a low-carbon diet is one thing; turning the concept into action is another. In an explanation of the challenges associated with following the low-carbon path, Gershon writes, “But wide proliferation of these tools is not the same as effectively applying them. After several years of watching many cities dive into this behavior change and community engagement process with gusto, but fizzle out after they bumped up against the hard work and deep knowledge required to be
effective, it became apparent we had gone a mile-wide and an inch deep.... We now needed to help communities skillfully deploy [low-carbon strategies] if we wished to realize the potential of a demand-side greenhouse gas reduction strategy.” That’s exactly where Resilient Neighborhoods fits into the mix. “Resilient Neighborhoods is kind of a transition to Transition Towns,” says Peters. Among the Transition Towns groups that have expressed interest in the Resilient Neighborhoods paradigm is the city of Sonoma. That city also is one of the possible participants in the next stage of the lowcarbon-diet effort. Spurred in large part because of a commitment among Northern California cities to seek ways that can reduce carbon emissions as well as the state’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the institute chose five candidate cities here. The Empowerment Institute has identified five cities that it says have “demonstrated early adopter credentials around taking climate action. The cities are Davis, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Sonoma and San Rafael. Three of the cities will be chosen to be part of a Cool City challenge. Among the goals of the challenge are engaging between 25 percent and 75 percent of households to reduce their carbon footprint by a minimum of 25 percent, with a minimum of 40 percent performing home energy retrofits. Also among the goals: developing a plan to transition to true carbon neutrality. And echoing the economic goal at Resilient Neighborhoods, the institute has set its own target to “develop a low-carbon economic development strategy around increased residential demand generated by the campaign for low-carbon goods and services, energy efficiency retrofits and renewable energy.” The institute’s challenge also mirrors the Resilient Neighborhoods model “to create block-based teams to increase individual and collective resiliency of residents in neighborhoods to address climate-related risks and enhance overall sustainability and livability.” Whenever the topic of taking individual actions to promote sustainability arises, critics pipe up and say individual actions are a small drop in a big bucket. “Our government leaders should be doing this,”
says Peters. “But they’re not. And I have found in working in political campaigns that if people put their anger and frustration at not being able to affect [the big picture] into something that they can do,” it can change behavior. “With citizens working in partnership with their local towns and governments that have climate change action plans, like the city of San Rafael, we can do it together. This is a model that empowers people to take action.” It’s a new chorus for the think globally, act locally refrain. Just how much of an impact Resilient Neighborhoods has had with its pilot project is the subject of a study currently under way. Before the start of the pilot, in fall 2011, the organization distributed a survey to participants asking about their lives and habits, where they shopped, how politically active they were, how prepared for a disaster they were. One year later, after completion of the pilot, the organization is sending out a new survey to see what has changed in the behavior of participants. And as the new year gets under way, says Peters, Resilient Neighborhoods is re-working its informational material and seeking to start new eco teams. The focus will remain the same regarding preparedness, carbon reduction and promoting a local low carbon economy. “We say that this is what you can do. These are the things that may happen,” says Peters. “We need to be prepared for emergencies. Sea level is rising. When we have violent storms, there will be disruption of supplies here. We need to do what we can to bond with our neighbors, and we need to support our local businesses, because they are the ones who are going to be here. It’s completely practical and pragmatic.” And when it comes to reducing carbon emissions in households, individual residents can in fact make a big difference by following the low-carbon diet. A 2007 study commissioned by the Marin County Community Development Agency found that Marin’s ecological footprint was 27 acres per person. That’s more than the country as a whole and more than double many industrialized European countries. Energy use in buildings accounts for 44 percent of the county’s total footprint.< Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com

Shark fins are the key ingredient in shark fin soup, a delicacy in some eastern cultures and viewed by some as a status symbol. Several Chinese restaurants in San Francisco feature it on their menus. The fins are typically derived from the live capture of sharks—often caught as bycatch on tuna and swordfish boats—who then have their fins severed and their live bodies are then dumped back into the ocean. Some studies show up to 73 million sharks are killed each year for the soup.

s a grandson of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, John Roosevelt Boettiger spent several of his early years underfoot at the White House, where his grandfather, whom he called “PaPa,” was an occasional playmate. The son of Anna Roosevelt and John Boettiger, John was born in Seattle and raised there, in Phoenix and in Berkeley. When his father joined the Army in World War II, John and his mother moved in with Eleanor and FDR, where Anna became her father’s treasured assistant. Boettiger, a tall man with a white beard and a kindly persona, wrote tenderly about his parents’ star-crossed marriage in A Love in Shadow (Norton, 1978). We had a chat—though not near a fireside—in the library of the Redwoods retirement community in Mill Valley where he moved this year.

What was it like to have the run of the White House. What years were these? It was between 1942 and 1945, and both wonderful and confusing. I lived there between the ages of 3 and 6, and it was bewildering to live in such an by enormous home with a proliferation J o a nne of caregivers. My mother was FDR’s W i l l i ams right hand, which fulfilled a dream of her own but was difficult for me, as I didn’t have as much of her attention as I would have liked. What was your day like? I was driven to nursery school and kindergarten with the Secret Service watching and hanging out until I was driven home. There wasn’t much chance to have friends come over. But there was plenty of room to play on the third floor and the South Lawn. And White House guards and Secret Service men were tolerant companions.
upper body so he could swim quite well. He didn’t want to be defined by his polio; he never wanted to be seen by the public or photographed being carried.
And FDR was a “playmate”? PaPa was a very playful man. He had windup toys on his desk in the Oval Office and I could come in and play with them, he didn’t mind. He was a warm, funny, caring person. I also liked to play with the elevator, pushing the buttons and riding up and down. PaPa never chided m e , h e ’d j u s t say, “John, other people need to use the elevator sometimes.”
Were the holidays like we see at the White House today? The holidays were magical. I remember one Thanksgiving when PaPa was sitting at the head of the table, and I was at the bottom, being the youngest, and he said “Hey, Johnny, do you want a drumstick?” and lobbed a big turkey leg toward me. I put my napkin up in a hurry and it landed in my lap. He had a good aim.

He started to strong swimmer; he had an especially strong wheel back out but Churchill said, “That’s
all right Mr. President. The prime minister of England has nothing to hide from the president of the United States. ” Were you the only grandchild to live at the White House? At the time, yes. But my half-siblings, known in those days as “Sistie” and “Buzzie,” lived there for a while, children from my mother’s first marriage. They were older so I didn’t know them at the time. Where did you go after you left the White House? My parents wanted to return to Seattle, where my father was publisher of a Hearst paper, but he felt it wouldn’t work for him to be associated with FDR and write for a Hearst. He wanted to establish a liberal Democratic newspaper so we moved, of all places, to Phoenix. Not the ideal place for that kind of paper, but I loved the high desert. Before the war both of my parents had significant positions at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, he as publisher and she managing what was then called the “women’s section.” My father was a fine reporter and loved newspaper work. How did things go in Phoenix? Not very well. My father had been fight-
ing depression for a long time. The paper foundered despite my parents’ best efforts. They divorced, my mother and I moved to Los Angeles, and she later remarried. My father committed suicide at age 50. He was a natural and gifted reporter but struggled with depression all his life. My mother lived another 25 years and died of cancer in 1975 at age 69. How did your father’s suicide affect you? Safe to say, a father’s suicide has a terrible and lingering impact on an 11-year-old boy. I recall writing in A Love in Shadow something to the effect that I lived for so long with the impact of his death that there was little room in my memory for his life. I wrote then, in some measure, to remedy that imbalance, to recover my experience of him as my dad and learn about his earlier life and family. As a boy I never doubted that he loved me; but his leave-takings—leaving home for the war, then leaving us in Phoenix (I didn’t understand it was my mother’s insistence), then his death— left me with frightening, confused feelings of desertion, which of course was not his intention. He wrote me wonderful letters during the war and after. My grandmother [Eleanor Roosevelt] loved him, and part of her gift to me in later years was to share her under- 12> JANUARY 11 - JANUARY 17, 2013 PACIFIC SUN 11

The Further adventures of Bob and Phil Grateful Dead chums-turned-business-rivals reunite by G re g Cahill
O
n a scale of one to 10—the legendary, bloody feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys being a 10—this tempest in a teapot rates a zero! But that ain’t gonna stop me from recounting this bit of, uh, wrung-out gossip. At the soft opening last winter for the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, and following months of delays and considerable anticipation, the renovated nightclub and restaurant bankrolled, in part, by ex-Dead guitarist Bob Weir, a couple of local notables complained that ex-Dead bassist Phil Lesh had tried to steal Weir’s thunder by announcing the opening of Terrapin Crossroads, his own restaurant and music venue on the shores of the San Rafael Canal. “Couldn’t Lesh have waited a just a little while?” kvetched one peeved businessman with longtime connections to the Dead. The rumors flew, as rumors will, but few seriously believed there was any bad blood between these two peace-lovin’ giants of hippiedom. I mean, bad vibes between a pair of rich, famous, AARP-
qualified Marin rockers embarking on a new and relatively risk-free stage of their astronomically successful show business careers? Nah! The announcement last week that Weir and Lesh—or is it Lesh and Weir?—will reunite Jan. 16-19 with their post-Dead band Further should lay to rest any rumor that, you know, they can’t all get along. The cold, hard fact is that tickets for the four-night stand are a whopping $162 general and $317 VIP. If that’s too pricey, or you missed the lottery, three-sevenths of Further (Lesh, Jeff Chimenti and John Kadlecik), backed by the seasoned jam band God Street Wine, will perform Jan. 23-26 at a three-night “Ramble with God” at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael. Tickets are a relatively modest $65. Random Notes: Here’s a rumor you can bank on. The current owners of George’s in San Rafael are finalizing the sale of that venerable bar and nightclub. The new owners could seal the deal sometime in the next four to eight weeks.
The revamped George’s reopened in 2010, four years after an ambitious plan to locate Kimball’s West supper club fizzled. The onetime Fourth Street bar and pool hall has never regained the level of high-profile headliners—the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Robert Cray, Chris Isaak & the Silvertones, the Neville Brothers and Albert King, among others—presented in the ’80s and ’90s when Tom Swartz and Tom Hutt ran it as New George’s. The business rivals are all smiles when it comes to Further. Let’s hope the new date for direct-marketing entrepreneur owners set their sights high. Laura van Galen’s multimillion-dollar Meanwhile, no word on an opening Fenix Supper Club at 919 Fourth Street in San Rafael, just a block away from George’s. The website still promises a 2012 opening. Longtime musician Merl Saunders Jr., the son of the late keyboardist Merl Saunders (known for his acclaimed collaborations with Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia), has been enlisted to book the music and executive chef Amey Shaw will make things sizzle on the culinary side. File under “Carat & Shtick.” In case you missed this item in Premier Guitar magazine: “After a year of scandal in the tabloids, Journey guitarist and founding member Neal Schon got down on one knee this past October and popped the question to his girlfriend, Michaele Salahi (of The Real Housewives of D.C. fame), onstage with a 11.42-carat diamond ring valued at well over a million bucks. After a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd, the band launched into their mega-hit ‘Faithfully.’ While that spectacle might have been one straight out the Journey power-ballad playbook, left to his own devices, Schon is about more than just sappy love songs and compact, melodic, pop solos.” That bit of “rock” excess and other details on the recording of Schon’s new CD, The Calling, can be found in the January issue. (Premier is under the editorial direction of former Marin music writer Shawn Hammond.) < Start rumors with Greg at gcahill51@gmail.com. JANUARY 11, 2012 – JANUARY 17, 2013 PACIFIC SUN 13

New year, new openings! We predict a mouth-watering 2013 for Marin foodies... by Pat Fu sco
Corte Madera is literally going ‘green’ at Café Verde.
The century-old Olema Inn is shaking off a few cobwebs and coming back to life soon as The Olema.
A DELICIOUS START TO THE NEW YEAR While we were all involved in shopping and entertaining and complaining about the weather during the last month, we gained several new places to eat, here in Marin, each of them with a touch of community feeling. In mid-December Leo and Erika Correa (also owners of Picante Taqueria in San Rafael) opened Beso Bistro and Wine Bar in Novato’s Hamilton neighborhood, right next door to the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art. They had done a great deal of remodeling in the old Hamilton Café building, extensive infrastructure as well as bright new decor. Within days heavy rainstorms assailed the restaurant and for a month it has opened and closed several times due to water damage and holiday time off. Now it’s up and running. Correa, a native of Chile, was executive chef at Horizons in Sausalito for more than two decades; it was there he developed his skills with seafood. His menu also features meat dishes, among them lomo saltado, a Chilean favorite showcasing strips of beef in a spicy sauce. The arrival of Beso means a lot to those who live in the area, a comfortable place for lunch or dinner. 502 South Palm Drive, 415/883-6700; open daily, 11:30am2:30pm and 5:30-9pm. www.besobistro. com...Meanwhile, in Corte Madera, Mario and Tony Farahmand, owners of Benissimo, introduced the nearby Café Verde, an all-day gathering place right on the edge of Corte Madera Town Park. It is one of those instant hits, attracting a wide range of people who come to eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner) from a menu of casual foods, take coffee or sip wine in a place with a European feel to it. A bowl of soup? Pizza? Croissant? Panino? All of these await. 502 Tamalpais Drive, 415/927-1060; open 7am-9pm weekdays, 9am-9pm weekends. www.cafeverdemarin.com...Vegans and vegetarians and those who eat both fish and fowl can enjoy The Plant Café Organic, Strawberry Village’s latest dining spot that arrived right in time for the new
year. It’s one of four San Francisco-based establishments emphasizing freshest local ingredients, including sustainable seafood and organic poultry (no red meats), with a menu that wanders from here to Asia and back (including duck confit pizza and roast chicken). Famous for its “cleanse menus”— foods designed for diet plans, to be ordered for home use—Plant Café appeals to those looking for help with nutritional guidance. 800 Redwood Highway, Suite 801, 415/3888658; www.theplantcafe.com.

WAY OUT WEST There’s also action out in West Marin. Natives are taking to the renewed spirit of Perry’s Deli, one of the few outposts for food in the remote area. It is becoming something of a destination these days. Owner Dan Thompson put in a new kitchen and in moved chef Ed Vigil (lately of San Rafael’s Vin Antico) to create made-to-order sandwiches with salads and specialty accompaniments, with a famous burger served on Wednesdays, all organic ingredients, mostly local. Those headed out to Point Reyes National Seashore can call ahead to order packed lunches to go. Shorty’s Organic Produce Stand is still in there with owner Gail Coppinger’s carefully selected vegetables and fruits. Vigil is looking forward to doing pop-up dinners in the near future. For a feeling of the place, watch a charming video on YouTube from Josh Berry, “About a Sandwich,” the story of the West Marin Reuben. 12301 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., 415/663-1491...Over Christmas there was more than a mouse stirring in the old Olema Inn. New owners Margaret Grade and Daniel DeLong (also owners of Manka’s Inverness Lodge, still shuttered but looking toward rebirth) stealthily opened for dinner during Christmas week and on New Year’s Eve and then closed again. This was a trial run for the restaurant, now called The Olema; it is scheduled to open for good around Valentine’s Day. Check out its progress at www. theolema.com. < Contact Pat at patfusco@sonic.net.

MARiN’S LiTTLE PLACES—WiTH BiG TASTE
Lucinda’s Mexican Food to Go, 930 Redwood Highway, Mill Valley 415/388-0754 Tam High students, construction workers and folks commuting back from the city make up the long list of regulars who have been enjoying Lucinda’s shrimp burritos, spinach quesadillas and chicken verde enchiladas for years. The postage-stamp-sized restaurant right off Redwood Highway (north of Strawberry) has been doing a brisk takeout business for more than three decades. With its compact menu, tiny space and friendly family-like staff, Lucinda’s seems a model worthy of imitating. This efficient and friendly little eatery has lines out the door of hungry diners eager to sink their teeth into their favorite quesadilla or burrito made with a choice of chipotle, spinach, garlic or tomato tortillas. The tagline at Lucinda’s reads, “A tiny little place with big flavor.” I wouldn’t dispute the claim, but I think it takes knowing how to order to maximize the flavor here. For instance, a grilled shrimp burrito features lovely plump, grilled prawns but needs an order of salsa verde to give it some kick. Likewise, a spinach quesadilla is a simple, fresh and herbaceous mixture of sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, fresh spinach and melted Jack cheese. A medium-hot red salsa of chunky tomatoes and onions is just the ticket to make this one shine. My favorite preparation is a juicy chipotle quesadilla chock-full of sweet grilled chicken sausage, onions and bell peppers. All the ingredients are thoroughly doused in a chipotle crema and need no further doctoring up. It’s all about the quesadillas at Lucinda’s. —Tanya Henry

ANOTHER BiTE OF THE COUNTY’S FAVORiTES
Frantoio Ristorante, 152 Shoreline Highway, Mill Valley 415/289-5777 frantoio.com It was raining cats and dogs, with a blustery wind blowing off the bay. What a welcome relief to step inside the warm atmosphere of Frantoio Ristorante in Mill Valley. The lodge-like dining room with high ceilings and exposed wood beams, feels like a cozy Tahoe escape. The centerpiece of the room is the massive olive press housed behind a large picture window. Even though it was crushing season, the press was not running on this night due to the inclement weather; however, the award-winning organic olive oil graced every dish. The house-made focaccia is addictive, served with a plate of the oil for dipping. Crisp salads use locally sourced greens from Star Route Farms; ours was dressed with a truffle oil made with, you guessed it, the fresh-pressed Frantoio olive oil. It made for a stunning dish that was good to the last bite. If bresaola is on the menu, be sure to order it. The cured, dried beef is delectable in a winter preparation with grilled radicchio, goat cheese and olive oil. All pastas are made in-house and are not to be missed. I savored every bite of the gnocchi with rabbit ragu, lipsmackingly delizioso. We chose one of my favorite fish dishes, the black cod—which was locally caught—for our main course. After this ample meal, I was too stuffed for dessert, but the list is enticing and, as with the bread and pasta, all pastries are made in house. From the glistening oil to the locally sourced produce and meats to the made-from-scratch menu items, Frantoio offers a topnotch meal in an inviting atmosphere.—Brooke Jackson

Not another teen movie Some youth films have really come of age, says ‘Troublemaker’ playwright by David Te mpleton
I
t takes a while, but eventually, playwright Dan LeFranc gets there. “Oh my god! Harry Potter!” he says. At the beginning of our conversation, I asked the New York writer to name the movies that best capture the real lives of adolescents, but it’s harder than expected to think of movies that deal with kids age 11 or 12, since most youth-oriented films focus on kids in high school, not middle school. LeFranc (newdramatists.org/danLeFranc), in the Bay Area for the world premiere of his new play Troublemaker, or The Freakin’ Kick-A Adventures of Bradley Boatwright, has been thinking a lot about middle school kids, since the characters in his play—opening this week at Berkeley Repertory Theater (berkeleyrep.org)— are all middle school kids, dealing with middle school problems: parents, bullies, zombies, monster-dogs and homework. In the play—running through Feb. 3— Bradley and his best-buds are all played by actors in their 20s, lending a certain stylized surrealism to the tale, and underscoring the award-winning playwright’s notion that the things that happen to us in childhood are carried though into our adult lives. In most books, movies, and plays, however, each stage of life seems to exist as its own distinct world. And for some reason, the world of 12-year-olds has been less interesting to filmmakers than the world of teenagers and kids trying to

Of course!” moments. “Harry Potter!” LeFranc semi-shouts, speaking over the phone between rehearsals for Troublemaker.” “That’s the big dog, isn’t it? Harry, Ron and Hermione are basically middle school kids at the beginning, right? They’re what? Eleven?

ViDEO Cron-opolis David Cronenberg must have known ahead of time how preposterous his dialogue would sound in COSMOPOLIS, the new release featuring a 27-year-old billionaire who lives a lifetime in one cross-town limousine trip— and, as is his custom, that’s the point. Cronenberg is the lone fish swimming against a flood of hipness and vernacular, and A 20-something billionaire in a limo—what’s not to like? many of his old obsessions find their way into this adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel. Robert Pattinson stars as Eric Packer, a man with everything: A beautiful wife, godlike power over his minions and a billion staked on the yuan which, as his limo’s display screens and visiting number-people tell him, is looking a little shaky at the moment. So for that matter is his sanity—supremely isolated in his rolling glass bubble, and set on a teeter by an in-transit physical exam that reveals a lopsided prostate. But Packer is a man on a mission: Neither medical news nor a presidential visit, rampaging Occupy crowds nor a crazed stalker will keep Packer from the haircut he wants. This commercial flop won over Cannes critics with its daring and will certainly resonate with Cronenberg fans, while likely appalling the rest. Burroughs, Cronenberg, Ballard, Joy Division and Bauhaus, ReSearch, 1890s Symbolists and the rest... for old-timers like me, this cult and its demigods remain a powerful draw. —Richard Gould 01/11-16: Winter Group Exhibition Group exhibition with works by Jose Basso, Alberto Ludwig, Braulio Delgado, James Leonard, Phoebe Brunner, Jane Smaldone, Greg Ragland and GR Martin.

JANUARY 4 - JANUARY 10, 2013 PACIFIC SUN 25
››STARSTREAM
by Lynda Ray Week of January 10- January 16, 2013 ARIES (March 20 - April 19) Friday’s new moon inspires you with fresh ideas for making your mark on the world—it’s a great time for networking or promoting your business. The remainder of the weekend is all about being sociable, spontaneous and open to new experiences. Your ruler (rambunctious Mars) in the rebellious sign of Aquarius until Feb. 1 makes walking on the wild side easier than ever. You may, however, require a new pair of red high-top sneakers for the occasion... TAURUS (April 20 - May 19) To the zodiac’s favorite procrastinator: Create your goals. Thursday and Friday are optimum for making those (better late than never) New Year’s resolutions. Meantime, although professional ambition is emphasized in your chart this week, you should also consider what you want 2013 to bring to your personal life. Realistic Saturn in your relationship house can be tough on a partnership that is waning. If looking for a mate, Saturn will suggest a practical approach rather than a romantic one. GEMINI (May 20 - June 20) An abundance of down-to-earth energy on Thursday and Friday may cause you to resent the responsibilities that fall on your shoulders. Some of the problem, of course, is the lengthy influence on Jupiter, the party planet, on your sign. Right now, to borrow from Cyndi Lauper, “Geminis just want to have fun...” It’s especially noticeable this month as adventurous Mars urges you to be daring, get out and explore. Stow the phone and discover new places the old-fashioned way—by walking down the street... CANCER (June 21 - July 21) Five celestial bodies in your opposite sign Thursday and Friday can feel a bit daunting. You’re best doing things that pamper and soothe rather than taking on too many physical challenges. Given a choice between the couch and the treadmill, choose the couch. On the other hand, your week looks good for love and romance. You could feel a spark of electricity that leads to a passionate encounter. If you’re feeling shy, get over it. Now. LEO (July 22 - Aug. 22) The holidays are over and it is time to get back to work. Lucky for you, your job environment is quite pleasant this week. You connect easily with business associates and you impress everyone with your creativity. Meanwhile, you and your sweetie continue to blaze with heated passion. Working so hard that you don’t have enough energy left to enjoy your love life? Not recommended. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 21) Your ruler (clever Mercury) continues to provide creative goals for you to pursue in 2013. If you can’t get started on them this week, at least you should make a list. If you’ve had any issues with siblings, you may get immersed in a family drama over the weekend. Stay realistic and you’ll be the voice of authority. As for your career, lucky Jupiter has big plans for you. A little more optimism is all you need... LIBRA (Sept. 22 - Oct. 22) The influence of unpredictable Uranus is strong right now. Whatever plans you make, you must remain flexible. Your love life could also be rather volatile over the weekend when excitability takes over your common sense. If you think you’ve found love at first sight, you might want to get a second opinion from a trusted friend. Wednesday is the bottom of your lunar cycle and your energy level is low. Reschedule your boxing class. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - November 21) Be careful how you express yourself on the job. One of your co-workers could have a sharp reaction to something you say, resulting in a verbal explosion between you. Monday and Tuesday are your best days for making romantic and creative overtures. Whether you’re trying to get a record deal or impress an attractive stranger, you know just what to say and how to say it. Remarkable, yes? SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - Dec. 20) Stay away from stores carring high-ticket items Thursday and Friday when you lack willpower over spending. Buy those Bentley Zai Zaiira skis now and you won’t be able to afford traveling to the Swiss Alps to use them. Meanwhile, if you and your sweetie have hit a dry spell, share your true feelings Saturday night. A little clarity may be all that is needed to re-ignite your romance. Then, after you return the skis, you can both leave for a tropical beach getaway. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 18) A week with a new moon in your sign is an auspicious occurrence. Friday is your day to send out your birthday wishes to the universe. Don’t hold back. Your imagination sets the limits, so shoot for the stars. As for the remainder of the week, charming Venus and witty Mercury bestow you with grace, eloquence and impressive flirtation skills. If you aren’t having a good time, you might need to add some Bailey’s to your latte... AQUARIUS (Jan. 19 - Feb. 17) The gathering of planets in your imagination house brings vivid dreams—both during the day and night time. The problem lies in the fact that reckless Mars is in your sign and being even a little absentminded can cause problems if you are operating power tools or heavy machinery. So, for this week, stick to non-mechanized activities—like strolling through a park or watching a movie. It’s safer that way... PISCES (Feb. 18 - March 19) Many of you prefer acquiring knowledge via osmosis. Once you encounter a subject that interests you, you learn by using your intuition. Most people have defined boundaries, but Pisces is fluid and able to absorb information by simply tuning into whatever truths are evident. Now, you are able to also use conventional means of educating yourself. You can take a class or (gasp) read the manual of your latest digital gizmo: 2013—the year Pisces goes back to school...

Q:
I’ve loved my fiancee deeply for her intelligence and beautiful personality since the day we met five years ago. However, I don’t think I was ever really attracted to her. In fact, lately, I’m increasingly repulsed by her. I hate her slouchy, tomboyish walk, and I’m turned off by her unfeminine manners. She constantly has pimples; her breath smells; and her lips are always dry and chapped. I go through the motions with her in bed, but it’s become very unsatisfying. In all fairness, she has a great body, beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile, and I really do love her and feel absolutely horrendous for sounding so superficial. I could never actually cheat on her, but I’ve been having thoughts of it, and that alone makes me feel terrible. —Conflicted
A:
In any relationship, there’s an inevitable erosion in hot and steamy, but you’re with the wrong woman if your sex face could easily be mistaken for your standing-over-a-septic-leak face. OK, so your fiancee could win inner beauty contests, but beauty on the inside just isn’t enough unless you’ve been reincarnated as an endoscopy camera and sent on safari down her digestive tract. Then it wouldn’t matter that your favorite thing to do in bed is roll over and realize she’s away on business or that your sexual fantasies involve picturing her fully clothed, scribbling out a purchase order for a warehouse of zit cream. Looks are especially important when getting into a long-term relationship (especially the “till death do us part” kind), because if you’re careful crossing the street, you’ll be spending a really long time looking at the person. The ultimate in well-intentioned cruelty is marrying somebody you aren’t attracted to and will come to despise as you find her increasingly physically repellent. You should instead figure out what your “type” is and only get together with someone who fits solidly into it. We all have a type—looks, smell and behavior we’re drawn to. For some people, it spans a broader spectrum of humanity (and in some cases, farm animals). For others, the range is smaller, which is fine, as long as they accept that they’re narrowing their options—and don’t narrow them so far that the only woman they could ever go out with is Jessica Biel. The least hurtful thing you could do now would be to hop a bus back in time and sleep in on the morning you met your girlfriend. Barring an ability to bend the laws of physics, you should break up with her immediately. (Tell her the relationship just isn’t working for you anymore, not the whole ugly truth.) When you love a woman you aren’t also in lust with, you should resolve to love her only as a friend—same as you would some loyal hairy guy you know who’s also “beautiful on the inside.” Nothing comes between the two of you, either—save for the feeling that a roll in the hay with him would pale in eroticism to a roll in a river of cat vomit.
Q:
At a Christmas party, a drunk man made a lewd comment to my wife. When she told me about it afterward, I got angry and told her I wanted to approach him and tell him not to disrespect her. She said that only crazy people do that and that she was sorry she’d even mentioned it. Isn’t demanding that he apologize to her the right thing to do? What man just lets this go?—The Husband
A:
Historically, men fought duels to defend a woman’s honor when her virginity was called into question. Just wondering: Is there any real worry that people at the Christmas party now suspect your wife has had sex after marriage? Sometimes you make a situation worse by taking action. This would be one of those times. The guy was drunk (which means you may have to remind him of what he said before demanding he apologize for saying it). He’s creeped on your wife only once; he hasn’t started following her around the supermarket, muttering that he’d like to jingle her bell. By chewing him out for what seems to have been a passing drunken incident, you would probably turn it into a lasting incident, creating lasting social discomfort for your wife. And as endearing as it is that you’re raring to go all Sir Lancelot on the guy, by showing your wife you can’t hold back, you’d likely cause her to hold back news of anything more emotionally charged than a spilled drink. Save your energy for offenses with a continuing negative effect, like the neighbors who leave their blindingly bright Christmas display up until Easter, making every moment you spend in your living room feel like a year being interrogated by the East German secret police. < © Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. www.advicegoddess.com.
