The facts of glyph There are a great many toxicity dangers from repetitively spraying large amounts of glyphosate and other chemicals in our local watershed [“Waiter, There’s An Endocrine Disruptor in my Soup!” June 13].

So, what can be done instead that is safe, effective and affordable? The Marin Municipal Water District already paid its consulting firm over $300,000 (financed by our water bills), to develop vegetative management strategies. That consultant actually proposed six different control alternatives, half of them not involving spraying pesticides. (Inexplicably, only two of these options appear in MMWD’s draft plan—one of which requires megabuck expenditures, and the other requiring heavy spraying annually, possibly for 20 years or longer.)

Regarding one of the other non-spraying options, the consultant’s report stated: “This alternative would meet the goals and objectives related to fire-hazard management. It would have the major advantage of preserving uninvaded habitat from weed expansion.”

It prescribes annual broom mowing, costing roughly the same as spraying glyphosate mixtures every year. Actually, in much of the acreage effectiveness could be further increased by adding other carefully timed non-toxic approaches. For example, prescribed burns not only kill much of the broom immediately, but also dramatically speed up exhaustion of the huge seed bank. Selective hand-pulling, followed by propane torching, can also be very effective.

By contrast, prescribed burns couldn’t be safely used once glyphosate has been sprayed because of the possible toxicity of the smoke that would drift into populated areas. Also, hand-pulling of broom plant seedlings—

amidst dead larger plants and soil containing glyphosate or its breakdown products—could be hazardous.

MMWD’s own “precautionary principle” policy for its decisions clearly states: “An obligation exists to examine a full range of alternatives and select the alternative with the least potential impact on human health and the environment.” Now is the time for water customers to demand that the MMWD Board honor its own safety policy.

This Board seems increasingly out-oftouch with its customers, instead pursuing questionable technological fixes—building a pricey desalination plant or unnecessarily spraying pesticides. For the sake of public health and of the environment itself, Marin residents need to speak up—to insist on a sane fire-prevention strategy rather than the reckless pesticide-spraying one that MMWD seems hell-bent on pursuing. Fire safety and health safety can—and should— go hand-in-hand.

particular chemical combinations. Fluoride is toxic beyond very small amounts.

What possible justification is there for putting this in our water?

Would you publish a more thorough discussion of the topic with some scientific evidence produced outside of the fluoride industry?

The fact that so far only 2,000 people in Marin have bothered to educate themselves about this matter and sign a petition is not a valid justification for disparaging them or relegating the subject to insignificance. We could use an upgrade in the overall intelligence in this county, and eliminating fluoride could help in that purpose.

Melts in mouth AND hands...

‘Sun’ didn’t sink its teeth into fluoride issue!

I am concerned about your shallow presentation of the fluoride issues [“Dr. Strangewater,” June 28].

I have several credible scientific articles in my files about the damage fluoride does to the human body, and the nervous system in particular. I think there is universal agreement that fluoride works to prevent tooth decay only when applied topically. The people who support its inclusion in our water supply are the people who profit from its sale.

Thank you for publishing the names of some of the chemicals that accompany the fluoride that is put into our water. There doesn’t seem to be information about these

In terms of diversity, don’t you think it’s time for a purple M&M? (No, I’m not gay).

Craig Whatley, San Rafael

Must prove loyalty by ignoring Mitchell Report...

Marin’s intelligence could use a non-fluoridated uptick.

So, I just learned through Jacob Shafer’s excellent piece [“Dressed Down,” June 28] that you can’t wear an A’s hat to this year’s Marin County Fair due to the cap’s possible gang connotations. That’s really interesting, because the Marin gang I’m most leery of these days is the bandwagon baseball fans who all seem to be wearing Giants hats.

Brent Mann, Mill Valley

Unfair to make readers conduct own Google searches One area not explored by the article on fluoride in our water is the suspected link between fluoridation and cancer (Marin is high in cancer rates and no one knows “why,” so they say).

So if you are going to tell us that there is a Jacob Barnett who has a petition to stop fluoridation of Marin water via MMWD—go the distance and tell us how to find him and this petition—checking the phone book and cold calling him at home doesn’t seem fair—so is he setting up tables in each of our towns on certain dates? What a great accomplishment this could have been—coordinating efforts with Jacob Barnett, who obviously wants more signatures—and including that info in the article. Please be more practical in the future if you are stirring up grass roots.

Sandy White, Woodacre

Editor’s note: Thanks for writing, Sandy.

Next, they’ll start injecting candy floss into our food system!

I am pleased to see this week’s Pacific Sun cover story, “Dr. Strangewater—Or How 6 PACIFIC SUN JULY 5 - JULY 11, 2013

Marin Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Fluoridation”, contribute to the emerging conversation around discontinuing the practice of adding fluoride (Hydrofluorosilicic acid) to Marin County drinking water.

With questionable benefits, the simple fact of adding Hydrofluorosilicic acid (a substance NOT approved by the FDA for human consumption) to our drinking water, ostensibly to affect dental health, makes it a medication.

Administering a medication in the public drinking water supply makes individual dosage impossible to regulate. It stands to reason people must have the right to choose, individually, whether to drink it or not!

Readers can look at current research describing the inadvisability of dispensing fluoride in municipal drinking water supplies AND add their names to the petition requesting Marin Municipal Water District discontinue adding fluoride to our drinking water at: SafeWaterMarin.org.

Allegiances of the Bandwagon Mob are constantly under scrutiny...

‘He who sacrifices gang clothing for fair entrance deserves neither’— Ben Franklin It is ridiculous that wearing an A’s baseball cap is considered “gang” related clothing. And really?! Red, white and blue is threatening?

Hello! It’s the Fourth of July! Yeah, let’s not show our patriotism for fear of being kicked out of the precious fair. I hope people boycott and the fair has minimal profit. That would send a message to the Board of Supervisors.

Give me a break!

‘Bridge’ over troubled meetings Affordable-housing opponents fire the shouts heard ’round Marin...

by Pe te r S e id m an

A

proposal for a mixed-use development on the 5-acre site of the Marinwood Plaza Shopping Center came to a raucous and renewed boil recently when hundreds of people turned out for a community meeting that dealt with development proposals in the Marinwood and Lucas Valley areas.

The Plaza currently houses Marinwood Market, a liquor store and a row of empty retail spaces.

Shouting and contentious behavior have marked community meetings that have focused on specific projects and, in general, on Plan Bay Area—the regional plan which seeks to tie development and transportation

issues for planning purposes. Supporters laud the idea as a paradigm for transitoriented development. Critics say it’s an ineffective method of providing workforce housing and no more than a scheme to shoehorn affordable housing into communities that don’t want to change their demographic makeup. Undertones of bigotry have marked some of the objections to the idea of increasing housing density on some Marin properties, including Marinwoood Plaza.

The objections to the proposed Marinwood development get woven into a critics’ quilt of concerns about the overall regional planning strategy inherent in Plan Bay Area. The objections to the Marinwood development also are intertwined with a move to recall Supervisor Susan Adams, who represents the area and has been in the forefront of a community-based effort to plan a mixed-use project on the site. In a bit of irony, and in spite of Adams’ efforts to reach out to the community, her detractors say she has kept her constituents in the dark. That’s an objection Plan Bay Area critics almost invariably throw on the table, despite public informational meetings and virtually endless stories in the local press.

The latest development proposal for Marinwood Plaza, and the only one that has reached the hurdle of a plan submitted to the county, comes from the non10 >

››NEWSGRAMS Street painting VIPs hospitalized during heat wave The scorching heat put a damper on an otherwise celebratory return of San Rafael’s Italian street painting weekend—as festival reviver Sue Carlomagno suffered a minor heart attack prior to the event, and international 3D street painting artist Tracy Lee Stum was hospitalized with heat stroke.

According to festival officials, the impending uncertainty of this year’s event, Italian Street Painting Marin, and its consequential stress may have triggered the heart attack in the festival founder. Carlomagno wasn’t the only festival VIP hospitalized during the week’s near-100 degree weather—featured artist Stum, a well-known three-dimensional artist on the street painting circuit, was overtaken with dehydration June 29 by the double-whammy of intense sun, and its reflection off the recently re-tarred A Street. Stum was released from Marin General later on Saturday.

Carlomagno, meanwhile, fought off the first signs of uneasiness Wednesday and attributed her exhaustion to long workdays during the recent heat wave as the source of her ailment.

After a visit to her doctor on June 27, Carlomagno learned she had experienced a minor heart attack. The Mill Valley resident was hospitalized Thursday after complaints of feeling tired and weak. As Marin’s madonnari flocked to Fifth and A streets on Saturday for the first day of street painting in downtown San Rafael, Carlomagno was just being released from Marin General Hospital with her husband and festival co-founder Joe Carlomagno.

Carlomagno had spent much of the last year working to get the former Italian Street Painting Festival back out of the gutter, after longtime festival sponsor Youth in Arts cut ties to it for financial reasons. But the Carlomagnos—who launched the festival in 1994— were determined not to let a lack of funds allow this 16th century form of performance art to wash away and disappear.

Carlomagno’s condition kept her away from the return of the event she fought to revive; if it is to continue in future years, she has indicated, it may need someone else to step in and take the reigns.—Stephanie Powell

Marin Music Project ‘strategizes’ The Marin Music Project is getting down to business, literally—as the proposed ode to Marin’s rock ‘n’ roll legacy has released a mission statement and “strategic plan” in an effort to lay a firmer foundation as it embarks on a second attempt to create a center celebrating the musical culture of the county.

The project formerly known as Marin Rocks—that is, until the Marin History Museum demanded $2 million for the rights to the name, which just happened to be the amount the museum lost in its failed effort to get the project off the ground—unveiled its four-year plan this week, outlining five goals project officials consider necessary toward an envisioned 2017 opening of a Marin music space.

In its mission statement for the project, the plan states: “Marin Music Project honors the unique environment of Marin County, which fostered an artist community and musical legacy. Through education programs, immersive exhibitions and performances, the Marin Music Project inspires creativity and artistic expression in music enthusiasts of all ages.”

The strategic plan goes on to set firm a lot of information already reported about the vision of the project. The five goals include: • To create a “participatory visitor experience that reflects the energy of Marin’s music legacy” through interactive exhibitions, a small performance space, and classes in music, production, songwriting and more.

VMarin County gets the

green light from the First District Court of Appeals in San Francisco to continue to prohibit retailers from distributing plastic bags. The ruling trashed the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition’s position that the ban may have a negative effect on the environment. (You guessed it. The coalition is comprised of “companies and individuals engaged in the manufacture and distribution of plastic carryout bags and polyethylene reusable bags.”) We’re thrilled with the ruling to uphold the ordinance and hope that other Marin municipalities will join the unincorporated areas of the County, as well as in the town of Fairfax, with similar bans. Now, we’ve just gotta figure out how to pick up our dog poop without all those free plastic bags.

WJulie Kelly finished shopping at a supermarket in Terra Linda last week and left through the exit leading to Las Gallinas Avenue. Outside, she saw a woman fall to the ground and exhibit the signs of a seizure.

Rushing back in the store, Julie, who didn’t have a cell phone, approached an employee and requested that she call 911. According to Julie, the employee refused, stating that there are homeless people in that area. Julie asked the employee to call 911 as an act of charity. No go. Brrrr. Cold-hearted. (Is that SOP?) Julie found a man with a cell phone who was more than willing to help. When the pair reached the fallen woman, other compassionate folks were assisting her and an ambulance was on the way.

wrote a feature last month for the Sun about guns in Marin. For my “news peg” (the catchy, timely hook we journalists like to pin our stories on) I used the saga of Marin mom Tina Marie Humphrey, who faced down a gunman in Greenbrae’s Bon Air Shopping Center and escaped by using compassion and wits rather than bullets. This week, the man who allegedly accosted Humphrey, 30-year-old Jeffrey Boyce, was found dead in his cell at the Marin County Jail.

The cause of death wasn’t immediately released, but multiple reports have termed it a likely suicide. The case has been turned over to the San Rafael Police Department and the Sonoma County coroner for further investigation, according to the sheriff ’s office.

Boyce was wanted for the murder of an Oregon woman and the carjacking of a man in Rohnert Park before he made his way to Greenbrae. He was undergoing psychiatric evaluation in jail, according to officials, and had a history of mental Jeffrey Boyce was in dire need of mental health services; what he wound up with, though, was a gun. illness.

This sudden concern by the far right for a mental health system they helped dismantle may seem disingenuous at best, but the mere fact that it’s part of the conversation is significant.

Would more services and a better database have prevented Jeffrey Boyce from acquiring a gun and using it? It’s impossible to say for sure, especially since the facts are still emerging. But it’s already obvious that he—a nd the lives he impacted—was more than a mere news peg.

He was a person. Possibly a murderer, but maybe also a victim. And, like the rest of this muddled, divisive, confounding issue, his case is anything but simple. <

< 8 ‘Bridge’ over troubled meetings profit Bridge Housing Corporation, which formed in 1983, when the San Francisco Foundation received a major anonymous grant aimed at creating solutions to a dearth of affordable housing.

The Bridge proposal calls for consolidating the Marinwood property into three parcels. On the southern part of the site, Bridge would build 72 units of affordable rental housing. One building would feature six one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom and five three-bedroom units. Another building would include 11 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom and six three-bedroom units. A third building would include eight one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom and six three-bedroom units.

The northern part of the property would be home to 10 one-bedroom market-rate units on top of commercial space. The Marinwood Market will remain in the middle of the property.

The 72 below-market-rate units are part of a Bridge effort to accommodate a workforce housing gestalt aimed at providing housing for people such as teachers’ aides, service workers and others who have a hard time covering the high cost of living in Marin, where they may work but cannot afford to live. The Fireside, near the Manzanita parkand-ride lot, is a Bridge development. Bridge also has a development designed for seniors in Mill Valley and one in Lucas Valley. The nonprofit corporation is known for building and maintaining developments that Cynthia Parker, Bridge president and CEO, calls “invisible to the community.”

Bridge developments blend with their surrounding neighborhoods, and if people don’t already know the units in a Bridge project are affordable below-market-rate housing, they aren’t able to identify them as such. These are no monolithic apartmentblock projects that got a bad rap in innercity redevelopment schemes.

An architect’s rendering of the Marinwood Plaza development is indistinguishable from any upscale Marin mixed-use project.

But critics say an early rendering can fail to translate into a polished finished product.

“The drawings are not unattractive,” says John Castellucci, who attended the community meeting that was held recently. “I also think they are very incomplete and not accurate.” He says the drawings don’t provide sufficient information about parking, for instance. Jeremy Tejirain, planning manager with the county, says staff is going over the proposal Bridge submitted. Inevitably, he adds, the county will need more information to declare the submission complete.

Drawings at the early stage of a development are designed to be an attractive marketing tool. Parker says that as the community and the county weigh in, the details of the proposed Bridge project may change, but its overall character will remain intact.

“We pride ourselves on building very highquality facilities.” Whatever the finished product comes out of the planning process, says Parker, “it will be very similar in qual10 PACIFIC SUN JULY 5 - JULY 11, 2013

ity to what is depicted” in the architect’s drawing in the submission for the plan.

Tejirain says that after the county deems the project plans complete, it will enter an environmental review process. That could get complicated by the existence of a brownfield area left from a former dry cleaners. After the environmental review, the project would go to the county Planning Commission and then to the county Board of Supervisors. At each stage, the public will have a chance to ask questions and provide input. Critics who say the project has been snuck in under the tent may have a hard time maintaining that charge as the project inches through the planning process.

Adams says it could be three years before anyone is living at Marinwood Plaza.

Hoytt Enterprises has a 50-percent stake in the property. “Jerry” Hoytt built some of the first houses in Marinwood in the 1950s. Marinwood Plaza, at the corner of Miller Creek Road and Marinwood Avenue, served as a small focal point for neighbors in this community on the west side of Highway 101 between Terra Linda and Novato. (Jerry died this year; his son, Lee, remains at Hoytt Enterprises.)

The plaza went into decline, and starting in 2004 local residents began working on a landmark cooperative effort with Hoytt and the county to determine the best route to rehabilitation for the little shopping area.

To Jerry Hoytt’s credit, he reached out to the community to fashion a front-loaded planning process for the property. If the community would support a redevelopment plan very early in the process, and the county would ease the way for construction (Marinwood is unincorporated), selling the property would be much easier for Hoytt.

The process also would help ease the way for a smooth planning process because neighborhood stakeholders would already have thrown in their support.

That kind of front-loaded planning process had never happened to successful completion in Marin. The idea to develop a community consensus before entering the formal planning stage was aimed at forestalling the kind of community revolt that occurred in Novato, where neighbors said they had never realized the full consequences of a proposal for a new Whole Foods. Neighbors in Mill Valley had a similar shock when they realized the town was embarking on a major renovation of Miller Avenue. Despite numerous public meetings in both towns, residents said they had been unaware of planning strategies, details and consequences.

Adams played a key role in creating a front-loaded community consensus strategy in Marinwood, where she lives near Marinwood Plaza. A local task force formed, the Marinwood Village Collaborative. Early on it included numerous individuals from the neighborhood, organizations and county government representatives. The collaborative, Hoytt and the county worked and reworked redevelopment proposals. In 2006, county supervisors endorsed a proposal for a grocery store, ancillary retail, a commu-

nity plaza and a redesign of Marinwood Avenue. The conceptual plan also included a housing component. The county identified the area as suitable for a new housing overlay designation, which set a target of making up to half of the units built qualify as affordable. The idea is that Marinwood is particularly appropriate for affordable units because it’s near the freeway and public transportation, and a revamped plaza would put the housing units near shopping.

The concept called for building up to 100 housing units. The Bridge proposal represents a considerable reduction. But Alyssa Chacko points out that the conceptual plan also called for building between 20 percent and 50 percent of the units for affordable housing, less that the Bridge ratio. The problem is that no developer came forward with a credible plan for housing or commercial until Bridge.

Chacko is a leader in the effort to recall Adams. The recall, backers say, is based on an assertion that Adams has failed to represent the wishes of her constituents, an assertion based in large part on Adams’ support for affordable housing.

Chacko says her main objection lies in the consequences the Bridge Marinwood project will have on the Dixie School District. She and Castellucci, among other critics of the Bridge project, say that because the Bridge project includes such a high ratio of affordable units, local schools, already strapped to tight budgets, will suffer.

The Dixie School District is a basic-aid district, which means that local property

taxes make up the bulk of its general fund revenue. That’s because as part of the state’s school-funding mechanism for a basic-aid school district, the district’s per-pupil property tax revenue exceeds the state’s per-pupil revenue allocation limit. That means the district is left to rely in large part on local property taxes.

An affordable-housing project such as Marinwood Plaza can throw a wrench into school funding projections. Affordable units such as those Bridge wants to build can qualify for a property-tax waiver. The school district and other property owners in the district would have to take up the responsibility to cover the education costs for children in the affordable units.

Whether that’s an unfair burden or a fair social responsibility depends on which side of the progressive fence a person sits.

There’s no question that the Dixie School District, which has three elementary schools for kindergarten through eighth grade, is revenue-challenged. About 1,750 students attend classes. At one time, Bridge estimated that about only 44 students would be added to the immediate attendance rolls from the Marinwood Plaza development.

Not all the children who will live in the units will be of elementary school age, notes Adams; some will be older than elementary age, some not old enough to enter school.

The influx won’t be an avalanche. Based on the number of bedrooms, it’s not out of the question to estimate that a number somewhere between the Bridge number of 44 students and, say, about 96 students, would

< 8 Newsgrams • Build an organizational structure and governing body to support operations. The “key priority” of this goal, according to the plan, is to recruit board members who will “implement the artistic vision” of the project and hire an executive director for the operation.

Board members, it says, will be recruited based on their interest in the vision of the project, as well as their “ability to contribute and/or raise funds for the project’s needs.”

• Raise capital and develop a sustainable business model. Since the music project intends to feature a “high caliber visitor experience,” states the plan, organizers intend to create a separate business plan to lay out a budget for staffing and the facility itself.

• Find a facility. The location of the music center is still up in the air—but will be “critical to its audience appeal.” The facility is likely to be in southern or central Marin and is expected to include gallery space, a performance space, an entry area, retail shop, café, staff offices and meeting rooms and storage. Prior to the opening of the permanent site, the plan continues, “a temporary storefront or space within another facility will be considered to host and produce programs, preview the Marin Music Project concept and vision, and sell merchandise.”

• Position Marin Music Project to attract participation and support by “developing a group of stakeholders, from donors to music industry insiders and regional businesses” to increase “buzz” about the project and encourage visitor traffic once it opens.

Marin Music Project chair Kim Kaselionis says she’s “excited” about the strategic plan.

In a “chairman’s foreword” to the plan, Kaselionis writes, “Marin County has a strong tradition of artistic excellence and today we have an enormous opportunity to preserve, to celebrate and to nurture Marin’s musical heritage... that will preserve Marin’s musical legacy for generations to come.”—Jason Walsh

Fair Housing of Marin names new director When the time came to search for a new executive director at Fair Housing of Marin, the housing-discrimination watchdog group looked, er, in house.

Caroline Peattie, a 17-year veteran at FHOM, was named to the top spot this week by the organization’s board of directors. Peattie’s been in the fair-housing field since 1987, when she began her career working for fair-housing advocates in the East Bay. She was hired by FHOM’s founding executive director Nancy Kenyon in 1996; Kenyon retired earlier this year after leading the nonprofit since its founding in 1984.

Fair Housing of Marin Board President Paula Allen says she’s “thrilled” to have Peattie leading the team.—JW

Adams says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working with the school district and Bridge on the challenge of additional enrollment. Parker says Bridge always works with school districts to help ease added students into the local schools.

And in reality, she adds, the Marinwood project isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t huge. Adams notes that other school districts in the county havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to terminal crises when an affordable-housing development gets added to the local real estate mix.

But, Chacko says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really fair to say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re claiming social equity [for affordable housing] and then place kids in schools that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide adequate service.â&#x20AC;?

And Castellucci says other community services paid for with property taxes could be affected by the addition of 72 units of affordable housing.

The yelling and aggressive behavior at meetings held to â&#x20AC;&#x153;discussâ&#x20AC;? Plan Bay Area

and the county housing element and affordable housing reveal a subtext barely hidden underneath the â&#x20AC;&#x153;debate.â&#x20AC;? A vocal minority can disrupt meetings and inject fear of the unknown into the crowd, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfounded in facts. That fear can spread virulently throughout a community. The yelling at big public meeting is one reason why Adams says she favors small-house meetings designed to impart information.

The yelling, the verbal intimidation, can prevent a real debate that advances education on an issue and finds compromise.

Opponents of Adams and other local politicians say elected officials simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to their constituents any longer. What they really mean is the elected officials wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do what the opponents want.

The golden age of KTIM, when Marin flew high on the freeform airwaves...

“T

he thing about KTIM, that crazy little Marin County radio station,” says legendary disc jockey Wild Bill Scott, “is that it wasn’t just the best FM free-form radio station in the Bay Area—it might actually be the best radio station of all time!

“While it lasted, of course,” Scott adds, “which, sadly, wasn’t really very long.”

Newcomers to Marin—say, anyone who arrived after 1984—might have no idea what Scott is talking about. Many oldtimers though, those who lived in the area in the 1970s, remember KTIM 100.9 FM (“The North Bay Noise!”) with the kind of fondness and dreamy nostalgia usually reserved for first kisses and lost loves.

If there was “Those were the days of real a new band nobody had heard of, freeform radio,” says former KTIM we could be the first to play those DJ Dusty Street, “before executives and records. KTIM was the first radio station

to play some of the greatest rock bands of all time.

“But, it’s a different world now,” she laments. “I doubt that any DJ who started in this business after the mid-1980s would have any idea what it was we were doing back then. I don’t really think DJ’s are capable of it anymore. A disc jockey programming her own show? They wouldn’t know how!” s s s s s KTIM, which for a long time broadcast from a big old house near downtown San Rafael, first hit the airwaves in the late 1940s. Originally a news and information station, KTIM was then owned by the Marin Independent Journal, which held

a contest amongst readers to name the station. Though some later disc jockeys tried to pass the story that the call letters secretly stood for all kinds of odd things (“Terrific Independent Music” and “This is Marijuana” were some of the tamer ones), the name readers actually chose was the conspicuously commercial “Trade in Marin.” In those initial postwar years, the daily schedule included farm reports, local news, inspirational messages, and the occasional music program. Alex Bennett had one of his first radio jobs at KTIM, as did Ben Fong Torres and Michael Krasny (who in the ’70s hosted a show titled “Beyond the Hot Tub.”) As the decades progressed, however, the music of the day eventually took over the station. Despite its relatively puny signal, KTIM still managed to influence and energize the music-loving generations who embraced rock and roll, but wanted their options to remain wide open. By the early 1970s, with voices like Street and Scott, Tony Berardini, Candy Chamberlain, and others on the air, KTIM and its merry band of DJs became the best friends to a huge number of residents, including a wide array of local musicians from the Grateful Dead to Jefferson Airplane to Huey Lewis and the News.

“It was an incredible time,” says Scott.

“We never made any money at it, but we all did it for the music. We were high on the music all day, and some of the DJs were just high, period. But, hey, those were the times, right? At music meetings, there was always a joint burning and a line or two of coke on the mirror.”

Both Street and Scott recall that anytime one of them got the urge to “play radio,” even if they weren’t scheduled to be on the air, they would often drop by the station and take over the studio, hanging out with the on-air DJ, playing whatever music was on their minds for an hour or so.

“Another thing we did at KTIM,” remembers Street, “and I think we were the only ones who did this, was playing a thing we called Radio Roulette. It was a kind of friendly competition between me, Wild Bill Scott, Tony Berardini—and occasionally Candy Chamberlain. One of us would put on a record, and the next person up would come on the air and make a clever segue from that record to the next one, picking a record that moved the music ahead, either lyrically or melody-wise of rhythm-wise—and of course it was a bonus if you could mess up the next person by choosing something really hard to segue from.

“We would do that for hours!” she says.

“I don’t know of any other station that did that, because, it was not easy. I mean, you really had to know your shit—and we did.

And our fans appreciated it.”

Scott agrees that DJs, in those days, held a special kind of clout they no longer have.

“We walked the streets of San Rafael and people came up to us and told us how much they loved some band we’d just

“So yeah, we might not have been brain surgeons,” Street adds, “but we affected people’s lives.”

“It’s weird, how much that station meant to people,” agrees Scott, who now lives in Auburn, where he only DJs for local stations occasionally, due largely to a back injury that makes it painful to sit for long hours in front of a microphone. “I know there are people who say that it was still doing some good stuff in the ’80s, for a few years, but to me, after the ’70s, it just blew. It went down the toilet. The vibe was never the same.”

The problem with radio today, he says, is that now the music is programmed through research, with programmers only playing the tunes that score highest by companies formed to test a tune’s potential popularity.

“You know how they do this ‘research’?” he asks. “They take a bunch of people and they play maybe 10 seconds of a tune, and ask ’em if they want to hear more. That’s it. Ten seconds! Think of all the great rock and roll tunes that take two or three minutes just to get warmed up!

You can’t program radio that way. In the KTIM days, the DJs picked records using experience, gut instinct, and a love of the music. That’s why it worked. That’s why people loved it. And that’s why, today, radio pretty much just sucks.” s s s s s

started playing,” he says, “or they’d start yelling at us because they hated something we played. Everyone was so . . . I guess the word ‘passionate’ is kind of corny, but that’s what it was. People really cared about the music.”

And they cared deeply about the DJs. When Street or Scott or Berardini— who mainly worked the graveyard shift—would confess to feeling under the weather, fans would stop by the station with chicken soup. According to Scott, when a DJ mentioned on the air that they were feeling hungry, local restaurants would send sandwiches to the crew. When doing live appearances, mobile remote shows where the DJs would set up at the county fair or other public place, Street and company would sometimes make thinly-disguised requests for alcohol.

“Yes, if you act now you can win absolutely nothing just by bringing your local DJ a couple of cold beers!” laughs Street, reenacting the kind of only-joking pitch they’d make. “And then, like magic,” she

says, “people would bring us beer!

“I still get emails all the time from people who used to listen to me on KTIM,” she continues. “We made very powerful connections with our listeners. I got an email from a guy who said, ‘Back in the ’70s, I was listening to KTIM one night, and I was getting ready to get in my car and drive to L.A. and ask this girl to marry me!’ He was going to quit his job. He was going to give up everything and go tell her he loved her. And then he wrote, ‘Dusty, you played a set of music that changed my life.’ I can’t remember the exact songs he said I played, but, he said that by the time that set was over, he realized that what he was planning to do was probably not a good idea. He was in his car, heading out of town—and then he turned the car around and went back home.

“It turned out,” Street laughs, “the woman in L.A. was in love with somebody else anyway, and his job—which he did not quit—ended up turning into a career he’s had for 25 years.

Street, still in the DJ business four decades after KTIM’s heyday, is now holding down her own freeform style show on Sirius, broadcasting from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

After leaving KTIM in 1979 following a dispute over how much latitude the on-air personalities should have in adding commentary to the radio commercials— “I compared Adolph Coors to Hitler!” she admits—Street ended up at KROQ in Los Angeles, where she quickly rebuilt herself as the Queen of Punk.

“I often say I’m one of the few DJs who hung out with Janis Joplin and Johnny Rotten,” she says, and those stories form a major part of her appeal on Sirius and her online podcast show, Fly Low Radio, on the Flying Eye Radio Network (www. flyingeyeradionetwork.com). “I started in the early ’60s, as a technician on KSAN,” she notes, “and when they put me on the air, I was pretty much the only female on the air in San Francisco. Since then, I’ve worked for a lot of stations, and been fired from a lot of stations, and times have most certainly changed. It’s been hard, but radio has given me a 48-year-long career.

“So I’m not complaining,” she laughs.

“But KTIM—that was a special experience, a stand out. For a few years there, everything came together at that lone little place! On that little radio station in Marin, we created something that was just awesome!” < Spin the black circle with David at talkpix@earthlink.net.

Her Marin-based, award-winning company, April Philips Design Works, has designed urban ecological landscapes at Union Square, Santana Row and Oakland Memorial Park. And, now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put it all of this verdant brainpower into a book, (with 300 photos!)

We spoke with her about her vision to incorporate edibles into urban environments from coast to coast. t t t t t You were a landscape architect and urban designer for many years but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the recession hit and you started growing a

vegetable garden at home that you wanted to find ways to invite edible gardening into the city. Do you hope all landscape designers will come to that revelation?

Most definitely! There has never been more of a need than now to understand the important connection between food and health.

In some ways I see designers like a chef creating a new gumboâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what local ingredients do I have to draw from, what ones do I add for a new twist, what is the key flavor to highlight for this one... Designers do much the same thing just with different ingredients from the earth, air, fire and water.

And an urban garden can be pretty much anywhere thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available, right?

enough to feed everyone or be able to address food security and food safety on a city wide scale. Edibles can be in front yards, on city streets, part of an open-space infrastructure like the Beacon Hill Food Forest park being built in Seattle, or even as part of building walls and roofs.

Is merely â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinking aboutâ&#x20AC;? food systems enough?

Well, if you teach a young child to eat kale, they will eat kale and love it of course! So in schools basic nutrition education to children and parents, especially in food insecure communities, is one simple way to start.

Ecoliteracy is a key component in moving this agenda forward. We are a vastly un-eco-literate society and this issue must be addressed first.

Jalapenos are named for Xalapa, Vera Cruz, the Mexican town where the peppers were originally cultivated.

W

hen I moved to the west I didn’t know anything about chiles.

For a dinner party during those early days I decided to make enchiladas and went to the store asking for jalapenos, pronouncing the J sound with the accent on the first two syllables. At first, the clerk didn’t even know what I was asking for but then started laughing at my blunder. I went home with the right thing and learned about the pepper’s prickly spice as well as how to say its name.

Eventually I came to know the varieties of chiles that matter most to me, and jalapenos continue to be at the top of the list. Their versatility is one draw which keeps them a regular player in my cooking repertoire. They have just the right amount of heat to add zip without overpowering and their deep chile flavor is an essential element in so many dishes.

This year I planted jalapenos in my garden and am already harvesting. It’s been great to make cabbage salad, guacamole and salsa fresco with fresh-picked chiles but the abundance has lead to some experimentation.

I adore the flavors of melted cheddar and chiles so I tried putting some chopped jalapenos in a grilled cheese sandwich, which was delectable. In fact, it was so good I had to make a second one (swimsuit be damned!). Next up were turkey burgers, which definitely need some doctoring to be

flavorful. Jalapenos, garlic, cilantro and a pocket of top quality cheddar kicked these burgers over the goal line in flavor, and will be on the summer grill menu at my house for the next few months.

One of my guiltiest pleasures was to stop at Jack in the Box for an order of their jalapeno poppers. I used to get them about once a month until my body went into a full blown revolt. Still, the attraction to a roasted jalapeno stuffed with gooey cheese and heated to the melting point was just too good to not try with my garden bounty.

Being a grilling junky I tried out a couple versions cooked on the grill, using different types of cheeses and pork parts, with tasty results.

Jalapenos can have varying degrees of heat. The ones I’ve been cooking with lately have been pretty mild but it’s always possible to get a scorcher when you least expect it. I always take out the seeds and veins of the chiles then taste a little piece to determine how hot it is. This helps me decide how much to add to a recipe.

A little known advantage of eating prickly jalapenos is all their health benefits.

Helping to prevent cancer, fighting inflammation, relieving sinus congestion, staving off migraine headaches, lowering blood pressure and preventing heart disease are just a few of the fantastic health benefits that eating jalapenos regularly can get you.

Roll out the Barrel New tavern has ‘blues on the run’ in Sausalito...

by Pat Fu sco

T

his week a prime spot on the Sausalito waterfront with a storied background became the newest restaurant in town. Marin native Chris Henry spent the past year transforming the original ferry terminal at 660 Bridgeway (later the site of such establishments as Purity Market, Houlihan’s and The Water Street Grille). His Barrel House Tavern is a handsomely staged space using reclaimed maple in a dramatic curved ceiling that evokes its name, with other reclaimed woods used throughout the interior. Executive chef Matthew Bousquet comes to Marin from Bistro Jeanty in Yountville; diners may remember him from Sonoma’s Mirepoix and Bistro M. His menu focuses on sustainable seafood— poached lobster sliders, cioppino, grilled octopus salad—and includes a raw bar.

Non-piscine options are available, such as grilled rib-eye with red-wine butter served with fries and house-made aioli. A deck outside the second floor dining room is a seasonal advantage. 415/729-9593, www. barrelhousetavern.com.

TAKING THE BOARDS Lunch and dinner are served now at M.H. Bread and Butter in San Anselmo, the bakery-café that opened last month at 101 San Anselmo Ave. In the kitchen is chef Arielle Segal, former sous chef at Mill Valley Beerworks. Her offerings include inventive “boards” that feature seasonal accompaniments to cheeses and terrines, as in cheese served with roasted cherries, fennel and walnuts along with stellar breads from owner Nathan Yanko (a veteran of Tartine Bakery in San Francisco). Lunch (11am-3pm) means soups (sweet corn and avocado cream with basil and crostini) and sandwiches like pork loin with spiced apricots, braised greens and pickled mustard seeds. Dinner (hours vary) brings heartier additions to the table (saffron chicken with couscous, bouef a la Nicoise) and special flatbreads with toppings like potato/chorizo/fiore sardo. The doors open at 7 every morning except Tuesday, with coffee and pastries both sweet and savory and, of course, artisan baked goods and take-out items fill the cases. Reservations are available only for tables of eight or more diners.

arning: If the rapture takes place during the time it takes you to read this column, your salvation may be in jeopardy, because parts of this post-film conversation—and the movie in question—are certifiably sinful.

“For the first 15 minutes or so,” author Aaron Hartzler confesses, “I was thinking, ‘Well, this is actually just kind of fun, all of these Hollywood stars playing outrageous versions of themselves.’ But by the time they were all kicking the severed head across the floor—and especially when James Franco and Danny McBride start talking about masturbating all over the house—I realized exactly what kind of movie this was.”

A really, really funny one.

This is the End is also a perfect example of the kind of movie Hartzler, as a young born-again Christian, was once expressly forbidden to see. The box-office smash from writer-directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg is a scathingly self-effacing

Dragon) witnesses from a convenience store while on a run for munchies and smokes. Within minutes, hellfire has been unleashed on Hollywood, a cavernous abyss (with a one-way drop to the underworld) has opened up outside Franco’s house, monstrous beasts are prowling the neighborhood, and the devil himself is apparently stalking the stunningly clueless survivors.

There are even more Revelations references in the recently released RapturePalooza, which also stars Craig Robinson, although in that one he plays the Antichrist, who is barely even hinted at in This is the End. “The writers got a lot of the end-times stuff wrong, didn’t they?” laughs Hartzler, author of the entertainingly rich and hilarious memoir Rapture Practice (Little, Brown, 2013, $17.99). The book, a moving coming-of-age story describing Hartzler’s youth in a devoutly Baptist, rapture-believing family, and his gradual awareness that—from his growing skepticism to his attraction to his best friend, Bradley—he was not everything his parents prayed he’d be.

Stolen moments Skewered by critics and made a hit by audiences on its theatrical release last February,IDENTITY THIEFlands somewhere in the middle for homevid audiences, who have an Unrated option on DVD. Fault for the comic misfires lies with the writer and director, who take a sledgehammer to the story’s gossamer charm; while credit for all Melissa McCarthy steals the show in ‘Identity Thief.’ the laughs, and there are many, goes entirely to Melissa McCarthy, who was born for the part. She plays the scamming Diana, a Florida ID thief par excellence who, with a single call to Jason Bateman’s cell and a phish of his social security number, turns his happy home and career life inside out. “Sandy Bigelow Patterson” suddenly finds himself cloned as a free-spending fashion diva with thousand-dollar bar tabs, salon appointments, an arrest record and ties to a drug cartel. It spells disaster for any high-powered accountant to a securities startup, who lives or dies on reputation. The only way to clear his name with the foot-dragging Denver PD and his new employer will be to fly to Florida and bring her back, marshal style. An overlong comedy that trips on its detours and subplots,Thiefstill can’t keep McCarthy down—she’s able to switch from bawdy physical comedy to tear-jerker pathos in a heartbeat.Give her a better script and she’ll knock it out of the park.—Richard Gould

Regardless of that, she has maintained her sunny disposition. She likes to be petted and is learning to walk nicely on leash. She is polite with other dogs but somewhat disinterested. She was great with all her handling making her appropriate for kids as young as 6. A couple of daily walks around the neighborhood will give her the exercise she needs.

Q:

My girlfriend died in a car accident four months ago, and I fear I’m not grieving the way I should. I was really broken up at first, crying hysterically, and I miss her terribly. I often think of things I wish I could tell her or we could do together, but I’m comforted by remembering all the positive things about us and her, and I’m grateful for the time we did have. Friends are worried, saying that I need to experience grief fully and work through all the stages in order to recover; otherwise, the grief could come back to bite me. I worry that I am suppressing stuff, but I have no idea what. Despite what’s happened, I still like my life and my job. I even find myself laughing at stupid stuff. Am I just in major denial? —Living

A:

Those who care about you are worried that you aren’t wallowing in pain and despair, and they’re maybe even a little suspicious: “Come on, man, who’s keeping you company if not Misery?”

Supposedly, if you really loved somebody, you’ll grieve big, long and showy: retire from personal hygiene, refuse to leave your bed for six months, and only stop sobbing into your pillow to ask somebody to plant weeping willows so even the vegetation will be crying in solidarity. But bereavement researcher Dr. George A. Bonanno points out in his terrific book, The Other Side of Sadness, that there’s no evidence for this belief or a number of widely held beliefs about grieving, like the notion that there are “stages of grief ”—five of them—that every bereaved person must go through before they can go on: “Whoops, you flunked anger. Better go back and punch four walls and get in two bar fights!”

The “stages of grief ” were based on psychiatrist Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ observations of people who were themselves dying, not those who’d lost someone they loved. “Grieving over the death of a loved one is not the same as facing your own death,” Bonanno points out. He adds that Freud’s notion that the bereaved must do “grief work” to heal—slog through every one of their memories and hopes about their lost loved one (as if sorting a mountain of wet clothes at an industrial laundry)—is unsupported by research, and there’s even evidence that this re-chewing of memories strengthens their connection to the deceased, preventing healing.

Yet another myth is that your failure to go into Scarlett O’Hara-style hysterics in the coffee room every day means you’re postponing your grieving (perhaps until beach volleyball season ends?). In fact, the idea of “delayed grief ”—grief as a darkly mischievous force determined to eventually pop up and bite you—is another unsubstantiated idea from one of Freud’s psychoanalytic minions. Studies find delayed grief extremely rare—almost to the point of nonexistence. What your behavior seems to reflect is resilience—healthy coping through putting your girlfriend’s life and death in perspective in ways that help you go on with your life.

In other words, if you have a problem, it’s that your friends think you have a problem. The next time they suggest you’re grieving incorrectly, you might reassure them. Tell them you’re in the “bargaining” stage and that you’d feel much better if only they’d stock your fridge with beer and steak, and on their way out, would they mind detailing your car?

Q:

I’m a decent-looking guy with unfortunate hair. It’s thinning rapidly and receding to the back of my skull, and topical treatments barely made a difference. I’m now thinking of shaving my whole head, but I’m wondering what women think. Considering my circumstances, what’s my best option?

—Follicular Rebellion Going bald isn’t all bad. If you’re like a lot of men, every time you lose a hair off your head, you’re a hair closer to growing a ponytail out your nose.

Although women generally prefer men with hair on their head, there’s a line that gets crossed, and that’s when there’s a desperate little patch on top (a la Prince William) that calls to mind a pointless attempt to grow a vegetable garden in arid countryside. Doing that doesn’t make you look like you have hair; it makes you look like you have hair issues. Shaving your head, on the other hand, projects confidence, suggesting that you’re comfortable enough with your face and yourself to put them out there unadorned. If you go the head-shaving route, consider adding facial hair to make it look like there’s still a little lawn on the property, balancing out the clearing on top. You could try a few styles, take pix and poll the ladies. Who knows? It might be just the way to meet a woman who longs to run her fingers through your back hair. <
