A strange kettle of fish...

The FDA is on the verge of approving genetically modified salmon for human consumption. The time is NOW to express your opinion before “frankenfish” sneaks its way onto the nation’s grocery shelves. This genetically modified salmon grows much faster than normal salmon, is always female, and can’t reproduce—and we are supposed to eat this weird stuff!

Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s have stated their opposition to genetically modified salmon. Furthermore, Mill Valley Market’s co-owner Doug Canepa told me they will not be selling it either. Al Balacq, a partner at Fairfax’s Good Earth, says, “We WOULD NEVER sell such a thing.” The director of meat and seafood operations for Andronico’s, Reid Pomerantz, has signed a pledge stating that they will not be selling genetically modified salmon at Andronico’s stores.

Many people are very opposed to this new-fangled fish, engineered by a company called AquaBounty, but it is still very possible that powerful profit-oriented interests will prevail. So make your voices heard!

Always depend on the kindness of strangers Thank you to the young mom with two girls from Larkspur who stayed with me until paramedics arrived when I fainted June 9 at Rite Aid in Corte Madera. I’m back home from the hospital—hope they enjoyed the Mountain Play. I don’t remember her name, but she was very kind to me.

Virginia Glaser, Corte Madera

‘I wish I was homeward bound... where my love lies waiting silently for me’ As a Marin County native as well as an individual who has been homeless and on the streets of Marin several times, I can honestly say that the county does its very best to provide housing and mental health services to the homeless [“Bringing It All Back Home,” June 14]. A former resident of Homeward Bound of Marin’s programs, I can also cite this organization as having a very high success rate of taking residents into their program(s) who are homeless, and matriculating them into stable housing.

The bottom line is that Marin County is a Catch-22 for low-income residents who need housing. Homeward Bound of Marin has worked hard at this challenge by creating the new Hamilton Housing Development called Oma Village. This organization, along with St. Vincent de Paul and Ritter Center, serve as Marin’s triage model of excellence for housing services for low income and the homeless. Marin’s services are every bit as excellent if not better than larger, nearby cities here in the San Francisco Bay Area. But Marin’s charge to end homelessness will be a tall order to accomplish due to the high cost

of housing that caters primarily to attorneys, doctors, CEOs, and others who make a living that is congruent to the median price of a Marin home.

There will always be a challenge to reduce homelessness in Marin, the challenge to help train the homeless populations to enter the workforce with a paycheck that meets Marin’s minimal cost of living, and to provide substantial alcohol- and substanceabuse programs to help homeless individuals get back on their feet in Marin. The goal should not be to end homelessness; the goal should be to find a way for agencies in Marin to create programs with sufficient categorical funding while boosting the social service programs that already exist with greater funding—to ultimately reduce the numbers of homeless individuals forming encampments throughout downtown San Rafael and other parts of Marin.

As long as the efforts above are made, Marin as a county will continue to be a community committed to improving services for the homeless. In return, San Rafael’s businesses will feel increasingly safe when they know more services are being provided.

place in 2006 for another effort before this happened).

I would urge anyone interested in Anne’s work to Google her, as well as order some of her finer work such as the films Blackboard Jungle with Glenn Ford, the first film to feature hot rods and rock ’n’ roll; Forbidden Planet, with Leslie Nielsen and Walter Pidgeon; Bad Day at Black Rock, with Spencer Tracy; The Rack, with Paul Newman; Girl of the Night, with John Kerr; and her TV efforts such as the “The After Hours” episode of The Twilight Zone, “The Doreen Maney Story” episode of The Untouchables, and the entire one-year series Honey West. Also, the film Brainstorm (1965) with Jeffrey Hunter. Thanks, for Anne.

A class act Regarding the Sun’s article on Pixar’s Merida as female role model [“Courage Under Fire,” June 7], I’d like to add a sort of prequel. Can anyone—baby boomer age or otherwise—tell me who the first TV female as lead/detective was?

None other than the enormously talented but underrated Anne Francis, who died two and a half years ago after never having received the awards, recognition or acknowledgement she earned many times over, despite having won a Golden Globe (really as more of a consolation prize) for her exemplary performance as detective Honey West in the samenamed Aaron Spelling produced TV series (1965-66).

Not only was this woman a remarkably gifted actress but, as I discovered for myself, a remarkably nice person with no ego issues or neuroses, unlike many “divas.” Personal proof of this is that between 2006-08, before she contracted cancer, I corresponded with her personally via snail mail, and she wrote back seven times! I’m enclosing one of her letters. [Which goes as follows: “Hi Craig, thanks for all your musings and the pictures—nope, don’t need the copies of old films! Have a great summer, and thank you for the kind words! Bless, bless, bless, Anne.”]

I suppose I have become a sort of posthumous champion of this lady and her work, and produced a video tribute to her which was entered into this year’s Marin County Fair Festival of Film and Video. Unfortunately, it did not win, owing possibly to the fact that the festival has dropped its previous second- and third-place slots (my having won a third

Francis truly shined in comparison to a rather stiff performance by Robby the Robot in ‘Forbidden Planet.’

If this represents ‘Mellow Marin,’ we might prefer the gangs...

So now we’re accused of racial profiling [“Code Red,” June 21] for refusing to allow the gangs to fly their colors for a shoot-out at the Marin County Fair. The Fair people are not expecting the Hadassah Wildcats to be fighting the Sons of Italy. It’s the blacks and the Hispanics who “go at it.” Two [gangs] of people too dumb to graduate high school, but smart enough to put fear into everyone to “get respect.” We went from Star Wars at the fair to Gang Wars in a few short years. What’s next? You get a bulletproof vest when you enter the fair, and you leave it at the gate on your way out.

Thanks to the Liberal Democraps who have made all the scum feel comfortable in Marin County....we can all mourn the “Mellow Marin” from years ago.

Chalk it up to experience Italian Street Painting founders ensure festival not scrubbed away from San Rafael

M

by Ste p hanie Powe ll

arinites may have noticed a lack of sidewalk chalk in downtown San Rafael over the last two years. But fear not, local madonnari, the Italian street painting festival is back with a new name and new game plan. Fans of the chalk-art extravaganza, now called Italian Street Painting Marin, can rest assured they’ll be up to their elbows in pastel-shaded calcite as the festival stages its return this weekend.

the nonprofit organization Youth in Arts canceled the long-loved chalk-off due to a lack of funding. The original festival founders—Mill Valley residents Sue and Joe Carlomagno—along with a trusted team of madonnari-enthusiast volunteers, were determined not to let a lack of funds allow this great performance art to wash away and disappear.

“The goal was—we were going to make it happen, period. There wasn’t an option,” says Sue Carlomagno. “We were just going to work and make it happen. The event will physically look different, but it will feel the same.”

Gay marriage gets an ‘I do’ from Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court left the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) standing at the altar today, as the justices not only struck down the controversial amendment defining marriage between a man and a woman, but also ruled that proponents for California’s Proposition 8 had no standing to bring their separate legal challenge to the court.

The invalidation of DOMA does not change individual state laws regarding same-sex marriage, but will open the door to federal benefits for gay couples in states where same-sex marriage is legal.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, in writing for the 5-4 majority, said, “The federal statute is invalid, for no legitimate purpose overcomes the purpose and effect to disparage and injure those whom the State, by its marriage laws, sought to protect in personhood and dignity...

By seeking to displace this protection and treating those persons as living in marriages less respected than others, the federal statute is in violation of the Fifth Amendment.”

As for Proposition 8, the 2008 initiative that defined marriage between a man and woman but was overturned in 2010 by District Court Judge Vaughn Walker—a decision upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals—the justices essentially refused to hear the appeal on the grounds that private supporters of the overturned initiative had no jurisdiction to represent the state of California in defending the law. When the law was initially challenged four years ago, then-Governor Schwarzenegger and then-Attorney General Jerry Brown refused to defend the law on behalf of the state.

In an interesting turn of events, Jerry Brown, now as governor of California, has issued orders that once the 9th Circuit confirms its 2010 ruling, counties throughout the state must begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Marin’s Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) called it a victory for equality.

“DOMA was discrimination enshrined in law,” said Huffman, “and in striking it down, the Supreme Court has reaffirmed that equality is the bedrock principle behind our Constitution.”

Marinwood Plaza may have a bit more foot traffic in its future—as nonprofit development corporation, Bridge Housing, has filed plans for a mixed-use complex at the semi-dormant shopping center in northern unincorporated San Rafael.

According to County officials, the application is being reviewed by the Planning Division of the Marin County Community Development Agency. Under the plan, according to a County press release, the northern portion of the property would include three new buildings, two of which would be one-story commercial buildings and one of which would be a three-story mixed-use building. Ten market-rate apartments would be in the upper stories of the mixeduse building. The commercial space may be used for a retail shop, a restaurant or another business. The southern portion of the property would feature 72 units of affordable housing within a trio of three-story residential buildings.

Only two businesses currently operate at the plaza; under the new plan, the liquor store would need to be relocated, but Marinwood Market would remain in space owned by current plaza proprietor Marinwood Plaza LLC. The northern and southern ends of the 5-acre lot, located at Miller Creek Road and Marinwood Avenue, would be sold to Bridge Housing.

“The community has been speculating about the specifics of the Bridge proposal for quite a while,” says District 1 County Supervisor Susan Adams. “Now, finally, we can all evaluate the issues of concern and the merits of this project.”

Bridge Housing has been in the development business since 1983, when a sizeable 10 >

Will county fair fashion police favor ‘summer whites’?

JULIE VADER

Under the new guidelines, these shamrock hats would invite suspicion on fair-going members of the local 4-H Club, or as they’re also known, the Blarney Mob.

JULIE VADER

It remains to be seen if the fair dress code will rid the buggy ride of its sinister gang element.

of the dress code argue that category two identifiers won’t automatically trigger suspicion, and that law enforcement will be given discretion to decide how and when to enforce the rule. For opponents, that’s precisely the problem.

“The wearers of items on the list, while technically in violation, will only be confronted by law enforcement if, in the subjective view of the officer, they appear to be gang members,” reads the ACLU’s letter. “It is in this vacuum where time and again stereotyping and racial profiling come into play.”

In other words, a white soccer mom can wear her A’s hat and red shoelaces with impunity, while a young black or Hispanic man in the same get-up should expect the attention of police.

Before approving the dress code, the Board of Supervisors requested a post-fair report on how the dress code is enforced.

ACLU attorney Alan Schlosser told us that’s a good start, but only if the report specifies the race and age of those cited or stopped for questioning. (A call to the board seeking clarification wasn’t immediately returned.)

The county fair is supposed to be an event for everyone. “We’re not saying gang members are not welcome to our fair,” Supervisor Susan Adams said at the June 18 meeting. “The message is, to whichever gang members are out there, come to our fair, leave your insignias at home.”

Schlosser and ACLU see things differently. “If the board intended to convey the message that all are welcome at the fair, this ordinance sends out, especially to young people of color, a very different message.” < Join Jacob’s crew at jacobsjottings@gmail.com.

VAlena, a San Rafael resident, spent a Friday evening at the Buckeye in Mill Valley. While she enjoyed herself in the restaurant, a thief was skulking outside in the parking lot. Alena’s car window was broken and her purse stolen. A few days later, a representative from Banana Republic called her. A woman had found the purse, which contained a Banana Republic credit card and other valuables, and contacted the store to track down the owner. Several voicemail messages were exchanged between the two women and the story unfolded. The woman and her son were driving near the Golden Gate Bridge non-toll plaza where the boy spied the purse on the ground. Alena calls the mother and son good Samaritans. We hail them as Heroes.

n Oakland A’s baseball cap. Red shoelaces. A shamrock. Any combination of numbers (or Roman numerals) totaling 14. A blue rosary. The color blue or gray or red or back and white. Those are just a few of the items that could get you kicked out of the Marin County Fair, under a controversial dress code adopted by the Board of Supervisors last week.

The dress code—ostensibly aimed at curbing gang activity—has drawn the ire of the American Civil Liberties Union, which blasted the list as “sweepingly overbroad” in a letter to the supes.

The list (recently posted at marinfair. org) is broken down into two categories: category one includes specific gang symbols and insignia, while category two includes more common items that may have gang-related significance. Proponents

< 8 Chalk it up to experience to have international draw, with artists from Mexico and Italy scheduled to perform this year. The image sizes will vary from 8 feet by 8 feet squares to 15 feet by 30 feet. The location of the festival’s Children’s Avenue will switch to a newfound corner within the event, and a new lineup of bands is schedule to serenade while the artists let their creativity flow freely.

Italian Street Painting Marin’s revival has a laundry list of donors and contributors to thank, says Carlomagno, but a core four are responsible in large part for ensuring the show would go on. According to officials, the 2013 event was driven by the passion of an all-volunteer team that donated their talent and time to bring the fine art of street painting back to San Rafael’s streets. The Carlomagnos worked closely and relentlessly on fundraising efforts with Lisa Jones, a fellow street painter, and Diana Payette to breathe life back into the festival.

Carlomagno first discovered her chalky passions at Santa Barbara’s Madonnari Street Painting Festival in the early ’90s.

Shortly after, she proposed to Youth in Arts board members that the organization put on their own street art show. And in

1994, the 500-year-old performance art was slated to get a chance and a sidewalk for the first time in Marin.

Prior to that, Sue herself dabbled in the art form to see what it was all chalked up to be. Sue, Joe and street painter Suzi Long— the first street painter to give Marin’s sidewalks professional performance art appeal—worked on a piece during the 1993 Mill Valley Film Festival. Their love for the intimate performance art remains strong as ever as Sue describes herself and her husband as “street painting groupies.”

“Basically it means we follow our street painting friends to events—including Italy. We were in Italy last year. We still go to festivals around the world, we were in Florida this year and Santa Barbara for a different festival,” said Carlomagno.

Not a bad gig to have as a groupie.

Check out what the chalk and chatter is all about. Italian Street Painting Marin will hit the streets Saturday, June 29, from 10am-7pm and Sunday, June 30, from 10am-6pm.

MALT corrals Stemple Creek Ranch The Marin Agricultural Land Trust perseveres with its preservation—as last week MALT announced its latest “permanently protected” farmland.

Stemple Creek Ranch is a 440-acre family operated ranch just outside of Tomales, where fourth-generation rancher Loren Poncia and family raise grass-fed beef and lamb and sell meat to butcher shops, grocery stores and other carnivores throughout the Bay Area.

Stemple Creek Ranch is a parcel of the 920-acre farm that has been in the Poncia family since the early 1900s. According to MALT officials, since inheriting the farm from a great-aunt nearly a decade ago, Loren Poncia and his family have been faced with a difficult decision: In order to keep this generation (and the next) of farmers going and growing, the family would have to pay nearly $1 million in inheritance tax. MALT officials, however, say this is no ordinary inheritance tax—in this situation, the tax is based on the market value of the land for residential development rather than the agriculture value.

“Without MALT, we would have been forced to sell the ranch, or break it up to continue ranching,” says Loren. “MALT gave us the ability to hold onto it and keep ranching.”

The Marin Agricultural Land Trust preserves ranchlands by purchasing the development rights of farms—assisting struggling farm families to stay on their lands, while conserving them as agricultural entities. According to MALT officials, Marin’s ranch properties face a very high risk of conversion to estate development, which they say threatens Marin’s local farming, wildlife and rural landscape.

“Protecting this ranch is very important,” says MALT Executive Director Jamison Watts. “It’s managed in a way that is beneficial for the land, wildlife and livestock. And the family has developed a sustainable business model that makes their products available to people year round. What they have done is create the next generation ranch that is both agriculturally viable and environmentally sustainable at the same time.”

Additional funding included $676,000 from individual donors and family foundations, $528,000 from the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Resource Conservation Service Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program (FRPP) and $250,000 from the California Department of Conservation. In total, the agricultural conservation easement had a price tag of nearly $1.4 million.

“There are continual trials and tribulations with a ranch business. It’s hard work,” says Poncia. “But we are passionate about the land. Protecting it is a huge commitment for our future.

I don’t want this to end with me. I want the next generation to be excited about coming back home to the ranch.” —Stephanie Powell 10 PACIFIC SUN JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2013

Lighting strikes twice The Silversteins—back in sight, but still out of mind...

by Nik k i Silve r stein

B

ack by request, I bring you another round of peculiar conversations with my octogenarian relatives.

Before we begin, please take a moment to thank me for not reproducing, as I have saved the world from another generation of meshugenah Silversteins. True, the antics of my family are great fodder; however, I’m fairly certain that no one else should swim in our murky genetic pool.

(You may remember that my mother’s maiden name was Silverstein and she married a Silverstein. Need I say more?)

This first story is worth a million bucks.

Well, almost. Last month, I awoke at 5am to a ringing phone. Checking the caller ID, I saw my mother’s number. No good news comes at that hour. Fear set in before I took a deep breath and said hello.

“Nikki, don’t get excited,” my mother said in an ominous tone. “Something’s happened.”

I sat up in bed, turned on the light and braced myself. “Tell me.”

“I won a million dollars in the lottery,” she answered.

Let me just say that she sounded like she lost a million dollars. Only my mother could announce that she won a small fortune and make it seem like a misfortune.

It was a few days after the $590 million Powerball jackpot and I knew that an unnamed person in Florida had won.

Mimi also lives in the sunshine state. I woke up my laptop and pulled up the official lottery site. “Tell me your numbers,” I instructed.

“I put my ticket in a safe place and I’m not taking it out,” she said. “My neighbor, the one I don’t like, checked and I have five out of six numbers.”

“You showed your neighbor, but you won’t tell me the numbers. Mother, get the ticket.”

“Hold on,” she said with annoyance dripping from her voice. God knows where she hid the thing, because it took a full 10 minutes before she got back on the phone. She read me her picks and I carefully compared them against the winning numbers. Indeed, she had five of six.

The payout for five of six was a million bucks. However, the payout for four of five, plus the correct Powerball number was $10,000. Poor Mimi was only a 10,000-aire. I gently imparted the reality of her situation.

“You don’t know. You aren’t looking at the ticket. I’m sorry I told you about it,” she said.

“Mom, don’t get upset. Ten grand is a

lot of money.”

“I’m not talking to you about it anymore. Go back to sleep,” she ordered.

I called my dad, the reasonable one, to explain the situation. Apparently, denial runs deep on both sides of my family.

“How do you know how much she won?” my dad asked. “You’re not there.”

“I looked up the payouts online.”

“Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet,” he said.

The following day, my mother and a neighbor that she does like drove to the lottery office. Mimi received a check for $7,500, which is $10,000 minus taxes.

Somehow, her reduced winnings are my fault. After I accepted full responsibility, she was nice to me again.

A true miracle involving my aunt and uncle trumped my mother’s winning hand. Aunt Esther has advanced stage macular degeneration in both eyes, meaning she is blind, though able to see a bit of light. Unfortunately, there is no cure. She does extremely well with her condition and gets around fine with her cane.

Last week, Uncle Jack and Aunt Esther visited an outdoor shopping mall and sat down on a wood bench. As is often the case in the Florida summer, an afternoon storm brewed in the distance. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hit the couple. They both felt a jolt and saw bright colors. Jack grabbed Esther by the arm and hurried her into a store. Neither was hurt. In fact, Esther was better. Her vision had returned.

Mimi had Esther over for lunch a few days ago. I called my mother’s house and demanded proof from my aunt about her ability to see. “Your mother has beautiful blonde hair,” Esther said.

Well, I’m convinced. Esther has scheduled an appointment with her ophthalmologist. The plan is to request that he provide a letter about her restored eyesight, which they will share with a newspaper.

Uncle Jack and Aunt Esther, no need.

I’ve reported it here for you. The wire services will certainly pick it up and spread the news around the world. I’ve conducted some research on lightning strikes curing blindness and I’m proud to say that Esther will be the first proven case ever.

The Silverstein clan may not be millionaires and we may not have 20/20 vision, but we’re certainly rich with absurdities.

Personally, I wouldn’t want it any other way. < e-mail: nikki_silverstein@yahoo.com

Mid-20th century conspiracy theories about fluoridation being a communist plot were satirized via General Ripper (Sausalito’s Sterling Hayden) in Kubrick’s ‘Dr. Strangelove.’ Fluoride skeptics today, however, don’t see the humor in its injection into our water supply.

Or how Marin learned to stop worrying and love fluoridation...

W

hen fictional General Jack D. Ripper locks himself and RAF Group Captain Lionel Mandrake in Ripper’s office in Dr. Strangelove, Ripper is well on his way to launching an unofficial nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. In the course of explaining his actions to Mandrake, General Ripper says he has uncovered a communist plot to pollute the “precious bodily fluids” of American citizens by adding fluoride to the water supply.

That conspiracy theory in the 1964 film lights up the suspicion many Americans have held in the debate over the efficacy of fluoridation. People more rational than General Ripper may not charge a communist plot, but they remain skeptical that adding fluoride to public drinking supplies is providing the health benefit that government officials, as well as mainstream health experts, attest.

The conspiracy about conspiracy theories even has seeped into criticism of

the John Birch Society, the ultra-rightmedicine, a violation of citizens’ individual wing organization that wielded its greatest right to choose what medications they use. influence during the “commie scare” days According to a current John Birch website, after World War II.

A group of Marin residents who

oppose fluoridation want the county to follow most European countries that don’t add fluoride to their water supply. The group is circulating a petition calling for the Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) to stop fluoridating the water it supplies to about 190,000 people from Sausalito to San Rafael. (The North Marin Water District, which serves Novato and parts of West Marin, doesn’t fluoridate its supply.)

Jacob Barnett, who is circulating the petition, says it has 1,940 names attached to it at last count. He dismisses the thought that fluoridation added to MMWD water is a Communist plot, but he doesn’t dismiss the possibility that pharma may be playing a hand in flaking chemicals to water districts in general. He says he has no knowledge of that taking place in Marin, but he says he has questions about why so many people are “vehemently into” promoting fluoridation.

Protesting New York’s water fluoridation, 1965.

cal it uses is safe and falls under state regulation. That contretemps gets played out over and over again whenever the science of fluoridation is on the table. Opponents, for instance, say definitive study proves that fluoride decreases the IQ of children.

Proponents of fluoridation say the studies are inexact and the amount of IQ reduction essentially falls within a margin of error, proving nothing. The list of organizations that endorse fluoridating water includes the American Medical Association and the National Institutes of Health.

In opposition are critics such as a scientist from the National Academy of Sciences Fluoride Committee and Ralph Nader.

Mary Larkin, an opponent of fluoridating MMWD water, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2010 said fluoride is causing dental fluorosis in children. The condition is marked by streaks or spots on the teeth caused by fluoride. But whether that condition is cosmetic or medical is a contested debate point. The CDC found that two of five adolescents have fluorosis. The finding led the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to join the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in proposing to drop the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water.

According to an MMWD staff report, the EPA threshold for fluoride is 5 milligrams per liter of water. The California threshold is 2 milligrams per liter. Sellier, the MMWD water quality engineer, says the district adds fluoride that would amount to about one drop per 13 gallons of water.

That doesn’t comfort Larkin. “We know the benefit from fluoride is not from ingestion. We know this. Water fluoridation is outdated and ineffective.” She goes further: “It’s unethical. Once you put a drug into the water, you can no longer control the dosage. It makes no scientific sense.”

But a statement from the CDC sees much sense in fluoride. The agency states that it “recommends community water fluoridation as a safe, effective and inexpensive

way to prevent tooth decay among populations living in areas with adequate community water supply systems. Similar to many vitamins and minerals we consume for our health, fluoride should be taken in the proper amount. Past comprehensive reviews of the safety and effectiveness of fluoride in water have concluded that water fluoridation is safe and effective.”

Even some previous supporters of adding fluoride to the water are expressing at least a modicum of uncertainty now. Diet Stroeh, who left his tenure with MMWD in 1980 as general manager, was an MMWD engineer in the 1970s. There was support for fluoride then, he says, although “at the time we didn’t know much about fluoridation.” The support that district residents displayed led MMWD officials to think “it must be good.”

But continued scientific inquiry into fluoridating water supplies has raised doubts that have persisted ever since the district responded to the voter-approval ballot measure, which Stroeh says the local dental association supported.

He disagrees with Larkin on at least one point: Stroeh says fluoride isn’t a drug; it isn’t a medicine. If it were, it would be better, he adds because the FDA would get involved in regulating it. “Now we don’t have that level of control.”

Stroeh says the water district should “take another hard look at the stuff ” because there is more (although conflicting) scientific investigation today about fluoride and water supplies and cavities in children. He goes a step further in suggesting that MMWD might be wise in putting the fluoride issue to another vote.

The CDC reiterated its approval in a statement regarding its review of a National Research Council report. “Water fluoridation should be continued in communities currently fluoridating and extended to those without fluoridation.”

About 2,000 MMWD district residents (so far) would beg to differ. <

o it goesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;teenage girls want to wear clothes that make them look older, at the same time the 40-and-over set wants their wardrobe to help them look younger. Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that what you wear can play a vital role in helping you appear more youthful, some middleaged women take the concept a bit too far. If you are like me, you have a few girlfriends who believe it is possible to recapture their youth by shopping at stores

Dressing your age â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Navel-baring tops Tube tops Daisy Dukes and short shorts Super-low rise jeans Overalls Rompers Color-frame sunglasses Jelly flats Shrunken hoodies Shrunken tees with chest logos Fringed embellishment tops and bottoms Headbands Eyelet-lace separates Lounge or sweat pants with leg or rump logos Ripped or gem embellished jeans Neon colors Decorative or knee-high socks Rabbit fur accessories Cartoon-character adorned clothing

Your clothes say a lot about you. Be sure they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was born during the Johnson administration... the first one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

like Forever 21 and Hollister. Despite what they may think, shopping at teenager-y stores is not a shortcut to the fountain of youth. In fact, dressing in fashions per-

ceived to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;too youngâ&#x20AC;? serves to accentuate age rather than diminishing it.

While there is no shame in trying to dress younger, there is a ďŹ ne line between donning youthful clothing and owning a closet full of clothes your teenage daughter is eager to borrow. In fact, there is an art to dressing younger.

To become skilled in the art of dressing younger it is important to isolate those looks in your closet that are just â&#x20AC;&#x153;too youngâ&#x20AC;? for a 40-something. If you have any of these items, consider donating them to Goodwill (or to your teenage daughter) because they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be doing you any favors in the age department. See list, left.

If you want to express a younger vibe without looking ridiculous I suggest a dressing approach called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;minus 10.â&#x20AC;?

This tactic simply asks that you look to trendsetters who are 10 years your junior and to magazines devoted to this younger set for guidance on what to wear. The trends, cuts, styles and accessories they like to wear can be leveraged to help you appear younger. When you follow their fashion lead you subtly positioning yourself within their age group. If you are in your 40s, consider wearing these 30-somethingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; au courant favs. See list, right.

Your clothes say a lot about you, so why not control the conversation? Wear clothes that are youthful but not too young. When you do, 40 will be the new 30. <

with the Byrds for their role in transforming folk rock into country rock and laying the foundation for such progressive country and bluegrass acts as Steve Earle and Gillian Welch.

At the time of the album’s release, the Dirt Band was riding high on the hit 1970 country-rock single “Mr. Bojangles.” The safe career move would have been more of the same. Instead, band members approached country legends Merle Travis, Earl Scruggs, Maybelle Carter, Roy Acuff, Norman Blake and Doc Watson, among others, about joining the Dirt Band for a straight-ahead country-and-bluegrass album. The Circle project—a picker’s paradise known for its spontaneity and front-porch charm—took

just eight weeks from conception to completion, during which time the band and their guests recorded 33 songs in six days.

“The thing that set us at ease right off was that most of these people had never worked together,” recalls McEuen. “They had a lot of mutual respect for one another and wanted to record together. We just happened to be the vehicle that put it all together. That became apparent when we saw Doc [Watson] fawning over Merle [Travis] in the same way that we were fawning over Doc.” The resulting album sold a million copies and made music history.

“Circle, I think, did something that needed to happen as the Vietnam War was heating up and music was going off into many different and exciting new directions,” says McEuen, from his home in Sarasota, Florida. “For a bunch of California hippies to get into the studio with people who were the icons of what became country music opened the door to America’s traditions in a way that hadn’t been done before.

“The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did something that other country-rock bands of the early ’70s—namely the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Byrds—didn’t do, and that is to make hit records.

“And the Dirt Band believed in that pursuit of an Americana sound and we kept at it.”

McEuen quit the band in 1987 to launch a successful solo career. He returned in 2001 to remaster the 30th anniversary edition of Circle, though he continues to work on solo projects: in 2010, he earned a Grammy for producing and arranging Steve Martin’s debut bluegrass album, The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo.

But the Dirt Band, which has scored 18 top-10 country hits over the years, has continued to honor the role that Circle has played not only in the industry, but in people’s lives.

“The thing that’s fun on the road is seeing the reaction of people to music that affected them perhaps five, 10, 15 years ago or more,” McEuen says. “It’s a real privilege to have people carry music with them that much in their lives.

“So, I say, for our part, we better get it as good as we can.” < Be part of Greg’s circle at gcahill51@gmail.com.

The controversial Basic Instinct from 1992 featured Michael Douglas as San Francisco Detective Nick Curran investigating Stinson Beach resident Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone, in her breakthrough role) who may or may not be a kinky ice-pick murderer. Director Paul Verhoeven filmed some of the car sequences on the winding northbound stretch of Highway One toward Stinson Beach. (Note: the shores of Carmel doubled for Stinson in the scenes at Tramell’s beach house.) This snaking drive to Stinson is familiar to many Marinites who navigate the highway stretch with the acute deftness required. It made for an exciting chase sequence in Basic Instinct, as detectives follow Tramell through the weaving one-lane traffic. —Jason Walsh

ViDEO Children of the revolution

It’s odd to think of web entrepreneurism as a youth movement in the way of, say, Haight- Ashbur y, but THE STARTUP KIDS argues that today’s tech brats are basically the hippies’ heirsa p p a r e n t : T h ey trust no one over 30, laugh away the job and paycheck and everything the Vimeo founder Klein, living the simple life. straights hold dear, and they go on to change the world. With a final merry prank: A few get filthy rich.

Take Ben Way, a serial entrepreneur worth $30 million by age 17—and broke by 20. “This is the most manic-depressive way you could possibly live life” says Sam Lessin, founder of file-sharing startup Drop.io. The Icelandic-produced documentary offers a fascinating catalogue of young talent pursuing their dreams in Silicon Valley and elsewhere, most starting on a shoestring with their pals as a sort of artists’-underground in an industry that has almost zero barriers to entry. “Anyone with a laptop and a Wi-Fi connection can build anything,” says Hermione Way. Screens and keyboards aside, you have to admire a culture that extols strangeness, creativity, independence and best of all, lots of failure. Some with the help of VCs and angels find riches and, better still, independence. I defy any Marinite over 50 not to see his or her younger self in Vimeo boss Zach Klein as he lives his off-the-grid dream in the Adirondack woods, a stream floating past his self-built cabin and hot tub—the “iterations” on his walls and deck keep him focused. The documentary is available to rent from iTunes. —Richard Gould

Pooh Bear is a 4 ½ year old classic tabby Pooh Bear is a 4 ½ year old classic tabby with a mind of his own. This magnificent fellow is big, strong, affectionate and playful. The latter is especially good since he's a little on the hefty side–combining more playtime with a few less calories is just what the doctor ordered. Pooh Bear is social, vocal –especially at dinnertime–and very friendly. He truly enjoys playing with wand toys and is not bashful about jumping up on counters or window sills to check things out!

Charming Pooh Bear is looking for an indoor only home where he can be your one and only. Meet Pooh Bear at the Marin Humane Society or call the Adoption Department at 415.506.6225 www.

Q:

I’m a single dad of three children, who are my world, and it was a battle to get custody of them. For three years, I’ve dated a woman with grown children, and on our shared birthday (Valentine’s Day), I proposed and she accepted. Two days later, she ended everything via text and hasn’t spoken to me since. She claimed she wants to come first in someone’s life, and my kids and dealings with my exwife took priority. Didn’t she figure this out earlier? Three weeks after she broke things off, I learned she was “in love” with an older rich guy with no children and that she’s spreading lies about me to mutual friends. We had a great relationship, and using her words, were “total soul mates.” Now she tells people how miserable she was. Even her friends are confused. —Baffled

A:

It seems she’s got a new take on a classic soul-mate anthem: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, except, hey, check out that old rich guy over there!”

What a lucky lady. No sooner did she realize that her current soul mate was no longer working for her than another popped up, right in the same town and everything. The truth is, even nice, well-meaning people can go floating along thinking they’re in a relationship they want until their partner says, “Hey, wanna make it for realsies?” Chances are, your girlfriend long resented your prioritizing your kids but just sucked it up—until you got down on one knee and presented her with the fork in the road. With the prospect of permanence on the horizon, everything suddenly became clear: One road leads to a lifetime battling for your cash and attention, and the other has Snow White awakening from her coma and realizing she could get a better deal.

A partner’s use of the term “total soul mates!” suggests that one is either dating a 14-year-old or somebody about as emotionally and romantically mature. The idea of soul mates actually traces back to Plato. He wrote about a “symposium” (ancient Greek for “kegger”) at which an apparently tanked Aristophanes claimed there were once three sexes—male, female and this weird he/she thing, round like a soccer ball, with four hands, four feet and two faces. According to Ari, humans got power-hungry and attacked the gods. The gods were pissed. They contemplated annihilating humanity with thunderbolts and then realized there’d be nobody left to leave them offerings. Zeus instead punished the humans by hacking the he/shes in two—male and female—and after Apollo reshaped them to look like we do now, the gods dispersed them, compelling them to forever be searching for their “other half.” Supposedly, those few who are lucky enough to find theirs spend the rest of their lives making goo-goo eyes at each other on a picnic blanket while all the other couples are taking turns sobbing into a pillow in marriage counseling or sex therapy.

Ironically, back here in the real world, a person who believes she’s your soul mate is actually a flight risk. Social psychologist Dr. C. Raymond Knee has explored the effect on relationships from “destiny belief ”—the belief that people have “soul mates,” that relationships are either fated to be or they’re not—versus “growth belief,” the belief that successful relationships don’t just fall out of the sky; they take work. Partners with growth belief think that relationships are “cultivated and developed” over time, that problems are a natural part of them, and that working through them is a way to build a closer and stronger bond. A destiny believer, on the other hand, tends to see problems as a sign she’s in the wrong place and as reason to bail.

As for why your self-proclaimed soul mate dumped you via text and then trash-talked you all over town, well, some women are into shoes that match their handbag; yours turned out to have a cold heart to go with her cold feet. This strongly suggests that what she felt for you was not love but “love the one you’re with” (aka adventures in mercenary pragmatism). A romantic partner might need to end things with you, but if she ever loved you, she doesn’t turn on you the moment you’re no longer of use to her. In trashing you now, chances are she’s trying to punish you for her failure to figure out what she really wanted and maybe trying to justify dumping you to both herself and her friends. The way for you to go forward is by looking backward. Explore whether you bought into the idea that she was loving and didn’t allow yourself to see the woman she appears to be—one who’s looking for that special someone to take her hand and walk off into the sunset with her toward his bank’s nearest ATM. < © Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. www.advicegoddess.com.
