We’ll keep on the ‘cuspid’ of any new developments Thank you for your article on water [“Dr. Strangewater,” June 28] that I read with great interest. I for one want to see fluoride removed from our water supply. I hope that you watch this information on fluoride.

Now I spend too much of my time preventing these bags from going into the wetlands, rivers and streams and parks. Does anyone really recycle these days? Next time I see this truck, as I have witnessed this littering more than once, I will track them down, see where they are going and when they stop I will call the police and have them arrested. WE will get to the bottom of this scam.

Elizabeth Lynn, Marin

Sorrie about that! Bravo on your Style article about dressing ones’ age [“Mutton Dressed As Lamb,” June 28]! And thank you for including Anthropologie in Corte Madera (where I work) as a resource for clothes for women of a certain age (I’m one of them). However, you owe the store an “apologie” for misspelling our name Anthropology! Regardless, thanks for an insightful article for those of us who firmly believe that, as you wrote, “40 will be the new 30.” In fact, 40 already IS the new 30! Adrienne Biggs, San Rafael

Polyethylene patrol Between Petaluma and Novato going south, a truck was blowing plastic bags out of its back. It had the name Marin Sanitary Service on the side and it was #508, but Marin Sanitary was denying that it was theirs. Highway Patrol took the report and Petaluma Refuse is denying it was theirs, but I only spoke to the customer service person. The supervisor promised he would email the route of these plastic bags. He would not give me the number for the route supervisor. The rumor is they are not really being recycled. Maybe they are shipping them to China.

Anita LaFollette, Petaluma

As TIM goes by Please pass along my hearty thank you for your great article on KTIM radio [“Do You Remember Rock ’n’ Roll Radio?” July 5]. It’s particularly timely since I just recently voted for Dusty Street to be inducted into the radio announcer/ DJ’s hall of fame. For we musicians, who were around back in the day, and who are still playing music, it was a great reminder that getting heard by your local peeps was considered normal and logical—not just reserved for those who could afford payola before they even had a shot at a record deal... Not to mention, that the listeners appreciated the DJs for their mutual love of music. God Bless the Pacific Sun for shedding a little light on this wonderful piece of Marin’s radio culture history. As the article touched on, KTIM used to play comedy and multiple music genres, including live music broadcasts. It would be delightful to read an ongoing series of interviews with former DJs, comics and musicians who performed live on air and/or were interviewed. There were some marvelous local ads for onlyin-Marin businesses, too, e.g., a jingle for

the (original) Sleeping Lady Cafe’s veggie burger, circa 1977(?) The Sleeping Lady Cafe used to be a co-op vegetarian night club with amazing music acts-including a regular Monday blues night hosted by Mark Naftalin with nationally recognized artists who broadcast their shows live on KTIM. Lynn Ray, Walnut Creek

We preferred the 7 to 10am continuous loop of ‘Buddy Ebsen Says Howdy’ Great story! What a station! My first night in S.F., 40 years ago, I found KTIM. I knew I’d come to the right place. And with KMPX (big band) and KJAZ (jazz), the radio always had something great to listen to. Among many wonderful KTIM memories is the midnight to 6am marathon of Firesign Theatre records. No, I didn’t listen the entire six hours, but what programming! Thanks for reminding some, and educating others, about radio in the right time and place.

Along with many other Marinwood residents, I participated in the Marinwood Collaborative process to guide development of the decrepit Marinwood Plaza. The current Bridge Housing proposal before the County resulted from years of community input and multiple development ideas, as well the economic realities for redevelopment. The proposal is a solid start to a well-designed and wonderful addition to our neighborhood. I hope it’s built, and I believe that within months after its completion, it will be a vibrant center for grocery shopping, coffee drinking, and local errands by foot and bike. I welcome residents of the new apartments and feel confident that they will love Marinwood as much as we do. I was ashamed and saddened by the heckling at the recent meeting hosted by [Supervisor] Susan Adams. I was the only person in the room who stood up in support of the Bridge proposal. I think others in attendance who agree with me did not want to risk derision and bullying. I hope as a community we can work together more productively in the future. Kathleen Gaines, San Rafael

Peter Logan, Marin

We recommend the Stratosphericaster I’m not making this up: A while ago I was strolling past San Rafael’s Banana’s At Large music store. They had a big sidewalk display that read, “Free Air Guitars!” So I stuck my head inside and said to associate Nick, “How long do you expect these air guitars to last?” As he was temporarily dumbstruck, I answered for him: “Forever!” Craig Whatley, San Rafael

Six hours is enough to test any man’s limits.

Pretty sure tower wasn’t only thing ‘lit’ at KTIM... What a great piece of nostalgia. You didn’t mention that the KTIM transmission tower on San Rafael hill used to be lit in colored lights around the holidays to sync with the music. It also had a great rideshare and on air flea market, always tickets to local rock shows. It was a halcyon times that Marin today has been replaced by the uppity yuppity. Fernando Gómez, Marin

We’re on board, but only if they bring back Chuck E Cheese’s! Thank you for Peter Seidman’s recent article on the contentious debate over affordable housing in Marinwood [“Bridge Over Troubled Meetings,” July 5]. No one else in Marin is covering Marinwood’s issues with unbiased and fact-based reporting. 6 PACIFIC SUN JULY 12 - JULY 18, 2013

Easy to tune, but a pain to re-string.

Oops! In our recent story on whether water watchdogs are going overboard about fluoride in the water supply [“Dr. Strangewater,” June 28], we went a little overboard ourselves when we cited the EPA’s maximum fluoride-to-water ratio. According to a Marin Municipal Water District staff report, the threshold for fluoride is 4 milligrams per liter of water. The California threshold is 2 milligrams per liter.

Waist deep in the big muddy How Marin found itself up a creek without a stream conservation ordinance...

A

by Pe te r S e id m an

creek on their property may be a romantic attraction for San Geronimo Valley landowners, but these days having a creek that runs through it is causing consternation. The concern comes from the county’s deliberation about a stream conservation ordinance that would take polices in the Marin General Plan and use them as a basis for a stream conservation ordinance. The conservation ordinance would affect all property owners who have land adjacent to creeks and streams, but the San Geronimo Valley is ground zero for the debate. That’s because the watershed in the valley is home to a coho salmon population that warrants extraordinary protection. But property owners say the proposed stream ordinance would create an unfair burden on them. And woven through the debate but not generally expressed: Do property owners whose land includes critical salmon habitat have a greater responsibility for protecting the fishery? And if the answer is yes, should they alone bear the financial burden of protecting creek and stream habitat? Lagunitas Creek is literally home to the coho. It sees the largest remaining run of Central California Coast salmon, according to the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN). The range for the population stretches from Mendocino to Santa Cruz counties, according the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The agency lists the Central California population as endangered. It also designates the Central California streams and creeks in which the population returns from the ocean to spawn as a critical habitat. That puts an edge on the debate about whether Marin County should enact an ordinance that puts teeth in the policies contained in its 2007 General Plan. A stream conservation ordinance has been the subject of debate that’s lasted for years. Two years ago, county supervisors backed away from a proposed stream ordinance and said that perhaps the strictures in the proposed law were too onerous on property owners. SPAWN filed suit, which led Marin Superior Court Judge Lynn Duryee to forbid new structures along streams in San Geronimo Valley until

the county enacts a stream-protection ordinance based on the countywide plan. Sounds simple. It’s not. That prohibition still is in effect because the county has yet to enact an ordinance. The Marin County Planning Commission in a 6-0 vote recently gave the green light to a stream conservation ordinance, but when it went to county supervisors last month, supervisors pulled back and created a subcommittee for more study. Supervisor Steve Kinsey, who represents West Marin and has stood up for property owners while at the same time lauding the county’s efforts at fishery conservation, is working with Supervisor Kate Sears, who represents Southern Marin, to create a framework on which the county can hang a stream conservation ordinance. “Since the General Plan went into effect [in 2007], we have launched a number of watershed programs that look at the hydrology and drainage of watersheds and how the creeks manage water flow,” says Supervisor Susan Adams. The county also has studied the health of stream habitats, adds Adams, “and incorporated habitat health into how we manage storm and runoff issues. That’s all new. We didn’t have those concepts started when the General Plan went into effect.” It makes sense, according to Adams, “to take a little bit of a step back to see how those studies and that information can help us” in crafting an effective stream ordinance. County planners have been working on a stream ordinance (which the Planning Commission approved) “within the restrictions of the General Plan,” says Adams, “and what we’re finding is that planners have been working on an ordinance while we have had this parallel path going on with our watershed studies.” The results of the watershed studies suggest the county should enact measures that would be “difficult to implement given language in the General Plan.” One problem, says Adams, is the General Plan views stream protection as a one-size-fits-all approach. The county has 14 watersheds, and protection measures for streams in the Tomales Bay Watershed may not be appropriate for creeks in the Novato Creek Watershed. Kinsey, Sears and county 9 >

Deputy, suspect injured in bizarre Marin City melee A Marin County sheriff’s deputy found himself between several rocks and a hard place on Sunday when a routine traffic check in Marin City erupted in gunfire, a public assault on an armed officer and a manhunt that practically shut down the entire neighborhood. According to the sheriff’s department, the deputy was patrolling the Terners Drive area just before 6pm on July 7 when a vehicle approaching from the other direction pulled suspiciously to the side of the road. As the deputy cruised by, he recognized the driver of the vehicle as 44-yearold Chaka Grayson, known to local law enforcement and currently the proud owner of a suspended driver’s license. The deputy made a quick U-turn and positioned his car behind Grayson’s vehicle. As the sheriff’s report tells it, “The deputy exited his vehicle, [and] noticed that Mr. Grayson ducked down as the deputy approached the vehicle. The deputy drew his firearm and ordered Mr. Grayson to show his hands. Mr. Grayson then accelerated his vehicle towards the deputy at which point the deputy fired several rounds from his firearm towards Mr. Grayson. The vehicle continued down Terners out of sight from the deputy.” Adding insult and injuwry to the deputy’s day, bystanders at the scene began lobbing rocks at the five-year sheriff’s office veteran, striking him in the head. As for Grayson, a witness at the scene said his vehicle headed toward the 200 Lot in Marin City—sure enough, his vehicle was found there, abandoned. Blood at the scene indicated Grayson had been wounded in the melee. By 6:30pm, police had shut down the Sausalito/Marin City southbound exit, as well as the Gateway Shopping Center, and combed the area door-to-door, with guns drawn. By 9:55pm, according to the sheriff’s office, Grayson “safely” surrendered thanks to “help from the community,” and was taken to the hospital. The sheriff’s office has not released the deputy’s name; the Novato Police are investigating the shooting. Anyone with tips or additional info can call the sheriff’s office at 415/479-2311. Fair fared well, say fair officials The Marin County Fair weathered some sweltering, er, weather—as well as plenty of publicity about its new gang-banger dress restrictions—last week to turn in another successful round of fireworks, pig races and Gravitroning. After a couple of years of record-setting ticket sales, attendance was down a little this year, according to festival officials. This year saw 114,200 fairgoers pass through the gates—down about 6 percent from the fair’s peak year in 2012. Temperatures over the fair’s first two days, July 3 and 4, flirted with the low 100s, which likely caused some fair regulars to forgo their annual spin around the Tilt-A-Whirl. Cooler days on the weekend saw the crowds rebound—the Wailers headlined an evening concert on Saturday, drawing the biggest crowd among the lineup of performers, which included Weird Al Yankovic, Eddie Money and the Pointer Sisters. Admission revenue from the July 3 to 7 event totaled $1,216,498; parking revenue was $105,678; and fairgoers gobbled up a total of $1,062,069 in food and drink. “The heat wave did impact the early days of the five-day run,” says fair director Jim Farley. But, he says, a couple of sweaty days were alleviated by such popular DIY activity centers like the Marinovators and Make Your World pavilions. The fair’s theme this year was “Schools Rule” and many exhibits and activities were a collaboration between local educators and fair programmers. Longtime fair director Farley is no doubt already gearing up for the 2014 carny incarnation—it will be his final year, as the 27-year fair frontman last year announced his intended retirement.

Uncle Jack’s got his hands full thanks to Internet porn habit... by Nik k i Silve r stein

page that has taken over his computer. Every few minutes, he checks to see if his computer has been released, only to find it still frozen. Panic sets in. What if there’s a glitch and his money didn’t go through? He phones his wife, who happens to be shopping with my mother. The trio decides that he should contact me for help. Great idea, since I’m experienced with the feds, arrest and porn. “It’s been 45 minutes already,” he tells me. “The neighbors are going to see me get arrested.” I advise my uncle that it’s probably a scam, but he should call the FBI if he’s worried. He agrees and I hop online. This ruse is so rampant that Forbes ran an article about it. The swindler created a convincing page, complete with an FBI.gov e-mail address. Continuing to dig, I find that many have fallen for it, young and old alike. My uncle calls me back. “I apologized to the FBI and told them I’ll never look at porn again.” “Good. Case closed,” I respond. “They said they don’t care about porn. It’s a phony,” he says. “I know. Let’s focus on trying to get your money back. I’ll call MoneyPak and you go to the drugstore where you bought it.” “I’m too shaky,” Uncle Jack complains. “I can’t drive.” “Call my mother and Aunt Esther. Have them take you.” In the end, Uncle Jack got his $450 back. My mother, my aunt and I had a good laugh. So did the kid that he was forced to hire, since the scammers never followed through with unlocking his computer. Uncle Jack remained appreciative of his freedom, even after confessing to the FBI about his dalliances with depravity. That lasted about a week. He drifted back to his obsession. Thanks to the wiz kid installing some fancy anti-virus software, Jack feels safer than ever watching Kim and Ray do the nasty. Of course, this is a cautionary tale for those of us with aging relatives. However, even more astonishing to me is that an 86-year-old man is interested in sex. Who knew? With my perimenopause symptoms and diminishing estrogen levels, I don’t care a lick about it. I’m calling my gynecologist immediately to inquire about a love potion. I read about it on the Internet. Never fear, I’ll report back. < Send your ‘release fees’ to: nikki_silverstein@yahoo.com

No fairgoers were ejected based on the new “Marin County Fair Dress Code Policy,” which was adopted by the Board of Supervisors to curtail possible gang members from influencing others by “showing colors.” Known criminal street-gang members did attend the fair, according to the Marin County Sheriff ’s Office, but none wore insignia of gang membership. Strutting ‘round the fair colorless may have also contributed to the 30 percent decrease in arrests. Thank you to the supervisors and the sheriff for enacting and enforcing the ordinance. Let’s not forget a shout out to the gang-bangers for dressing down and making the fair a safer, happier experience for all.

WWitnesses reported about 50 police cars and 70 officers descending upon Marin City for two hours last Sunday evening. Residents and visitors weren’t permitted to enter or leave the area. Many officers had assault rifles drawn. Indeed, that guy driving with a suspended license must be caught by any means. It all started when a deputy claims he approached the unlicensed driver’s car and the man accelerated toward him. He fired at the suspect. Hit by at least one bullet, the suspect fled, ditched his car and hid. Bystanders threw rocks at the deputy, wounding him in the head. The suspect later turned himself in. We don’t care who drew first blood. The Marin County Sheriff ’s department overreacted and their operation was a total bust. — Nikki Silverstein

egardless of rumors circulating within the Silverstein family, my Uncle Jack is not in the pokey. True, he had a lengthy discussion with the FBI about his porn predilection; however, he is not in their custody at this time. Before I explain the situation, please take this time to cancel your elderly relatives’ subscriptions to the Internet. Ignore their cries that Google takes them everywhere and the only thing worth watching on TV is Judge Judy. Confiscate their computers and feel virtuous for adding years to their lives and saving them from shakedowns. It’s really no wonder that the FBI finally became involved in Uncle Jack’s sordid life. At 86, he travels the World Wide Web for hours a day. Forget about exercise or even a daily shower. He’s much too busy leering at the computer screen while Kim Kardashian performs breathtaking sex acts on the very large Ray J. If he’s waiting on a porn download, he researches what his family members paid for their homes. Basically, he’s wasting his twilight years on videos about the birds and bees and unuseful information that ain’t none of his beeswax. Geez, Jack. Go take Aunt Esther to a nice dinner. Anyway, early this month, he’s looking at sex stuff online, clicking on link after link. Suddenly, his computer freezes. A message from the Federal Bureau of Investigation pops up, warning that arrest is imminent. In just minutes, an FBI officer will arrive at his door. Why? Because, it claims, Uncle Jack downloaded illegal content—pornography. The only way to avoid criminal prosecution is to pay a release fee of $450. Instructions regarding payment method are delineated clearly in the message, step by step. According to Jack, he’s never moved so fast in his life. He races to the drug store and plunks down $450 cash for a MoneyPak. I’m young and oh so hip, but I’ve never heard of this financial instrument. According to the company website: MoneyPak is an easy and convenient way to send money to where you need it. Once you purchase it at a participating retailer with cash, you can use it to reload prepaid cards, add money to a PayPal account without using a bank account, or make same-day payments to major companies. Well, the FBI is certainly major. This sounds legit. When Jack arrives home, he finishes avoiding lifelong imprisonment by inputting the MoneyPak numbers onto the FBI

86-year-old seeks 69

by Howard Rachelson

< 7 Waist deep in the big muddy planning staff are taking a look at that issue as well as other concerns. They will return with recommendations in August, according to Kinsey. They will not return with an ordinance or “the details of an ordinance,” says Kinsey. Rather, Kinsey and Sears will return with a “specific and targeted request to revise the Countywide Plan.” The goal will be to create recommendations that will allow the county to tweak the Countywide Plan and allow creation of a stream ordinance that more closely follows the county’s current thinking about stream protection. Critics say the supervisors are bending to real estate interests. SPAWN says the ordinance the planning commission approved is vague and full of holes. Property owners (not all of them) and real estate interests say the ordinance planning commissioners approved is too harsh. “We’re not interested in walking away from our commitment to watershed restoration,” says Kinsey. “We’re just looking for a much more collaborative way of doing it than we have been forced to do through the litigious strategy of some of the fish warriors.” (That’s a thinly veiled reference to SPAWN.) The Central California Coast population of coho is an evolutionary significant group, according to the 2012 recovery plan compiled at the National Marine Fisheries Service. The population represents the southernmost extent of coho on the North American Continent “and one of the most endangered of the 28

evolutionary significant units along the West Coast.” Because of the relatively large percentage of the salmon population that returns to the San Geronimo Valley to spawn, like it or not, Marin and the valley bear a strong responsibility to protect the southern extent of the species. “If properly stewarded, the population should survive,” says Andy Harris, managing director of the Turtle Island Restoration Network. SPAWN is one of three programs at the Restoration Network. The other two are the Sea Turtle Restoration Network and the Got Mercury? Program, which is aimed at educating people about mercury in seafood. According to SPAWN, the salmon population in the San Geronimo Valley is in a death spiral and only strict stream protection can pull the coho back from extinction. That and other strong attitudes has caused a rip in the environmental community, leading to the creation of the another group, the San Geronimo Valley Stewards, who espouse a more moderate stream conservation approach. SPAWN critics say the group has exaggerated the depth of the coho decline and point to rising numbers in recent years. But SPAWN counters that the increase could be temporary and a certain number of healthy fish must be maintained to protect against future pressures. Harris says the ordinance county planning commissioners approved is “unworkable and too weak.” One problem, he says, is that it fails to take adequate account and of what are called ephemerals, which are stream beds that contain flowing water only in wet months. But that doesn’t

negate the importance of ephemerals in a watershed network, according to Harris. Kinsey says the county should treat ephemerals as important but different than streams containing constant flowing water. Kinsey says ephemerals are one of the issues that should be revisited in the Countywide Plan. “We will be taking up a few things. One is clarifying what types of permissible activities can occur within the stream conservation area. And the language around ephemeral streams needs to be revisited to give somewhat more flexibility” but still maintain its protective value. Another issue that Kinsey says needs another look relates to studies the county requires for property owners in stream conservation areas. Even if property owners “do the right thing,” he says and “agree to all the best practices, such as not cutting down riparian vegetation, not taking water out of a creek, not adding impervious surfaces,” the Countywide Plan still says property owners shall get studies relating to projects they envision on their land. The studies, says Kinsey, can cost $8,000 to $10,000 for a single-family home, “just to prove you are not going to destroy” habitat. The cost of permits required in a stream conservation area has been a big concern for property owners. Depending on the type of work, permits in the ordinance planners approved would run from $750 to $2,835. The area that the Planning Commission ordinance covers is the same as in the General Plan: In what’s called a citycentered corridor, the stream conservation area on properties two acres and larger extends 100 feet from the top of the stream bank. For properties of one-half acre to two acres, the conservation area extends 50 feet. And for properties that are onehalf acre or smaller, the conservation area extends 20 feet. On rural properties the conservation area extends 50 feet from the outer edge of woody riparian vegetation or 100 feet from the top of a stream bank, whichever is greater. (Many homes on smaller lots already are within conservation areas.) Kinsey and Adams both say the onesize-fits-all strategy encapsulated in the General Plan just doesn’t work. All watersheds—and streams—are not created equal. They need varying levels of protection. Kinsey says the county should travel “a parallel path to tailor a stream conservation area strategy that would account for the differences between vacant parcels, small parcels and large parcels in various watersheds. The county could embark on

a parallel path to create a many-size-fitsall stream conservation area approach in an ordinance while it goes through the process of revising the countywide plan and conducts California Environmental Quality Act work needed for a revision. That could take as long as two years. Kinsey also says a stream ordinance can help the county deal with the many illegal structures built along streams. If an angry neighbor informs the county that an illegal structure has been built, the county now has no choice but to tell property owners to demolish the structure. Critics of stiff stream conservation rules say too-strict rules and high fees actually are counterproductive and promote illegal building. But proponents of strict stream conservation measures say it’s the responsibility of the county and property owners to abide by regulations that protect critical habitat. And not just for salmon. The stream conservation strategy also is aimed at protecting other species of aquatic animals as well as plants. Kinsey says some property owners in the valley have “frozen” applications already reviewed for work within the conservation area. He’s contemplating the possibility that after the board of supervisors “gives a full, clear direction to staff ” concerning changes in the Countywide Plan, he will ask for an interim stream ordinance “exclusive for the San Geronimo Valley that would sunset within two years. In the meantime it would get everybody out of jail out there.” It also would give the county a chance to test a two-tiered approach the planning commission approved. Tier One would require just an administrative approval for permitting. Tier Two would require a more stringent review. The debate about coho stream habitat clouds what Kinsey describes as the county’s laudable history on stream conservation. Marin, he says, was in the forefront of the Fishnet 4C Program, a six-county effort aimed at implementing best practices along roads and trails near streams. The county also has spent $7 million in the San Geronimo watershed. The Marin Municipal Water District has spent another $10 million on fisheries restoration. Casting Marin as a bad actor on the conservation and restoration fronts is unfair, says Kinsey. But SPAWN still says the imminent threat to the coho population calls for measures more strict than in the county’s current stream conservation strategy. < Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com

The man who stares at ’goats VENGEANCE IS THINE, sayeth Dr. Scapegoat...

S

capegoats are the subject of Dr. Arthur Colman’s area of special expertise. They are the smart kid in class who makes the others look even dumber; the soldier raped by her commanding officer; the government whistleblower. They represent perceived threats and they’re punished for it. They come to Dr. Colman for help at his private therapy practice in Sausalito and at his website (drscapegoat.com). But he has found that therapy has severe limitations. What scapegoats really need to achieve true healing, he has concluded, is revenge. Of course, it would be unethical — not to mention illegal — to advise his clients to kill or torture their tormentors. So, instead, he plays out his revenge scenarios by writing novels. I had come to interview him under the misapprehension that he could offer an assured path to recovery for not only his fictional characters, but for real people as well. But no. It made for a lively conversation. Colman, a Harvard-educated psychiatrist and Jungian analyst, has achieved worldwide recognition for his studies of group interaction. He’s written nine scholarly books on the subject, including The Group Relations Reader, co-written in 1983 with W. Harold Bexton. That one, he told me, sold more than half a million copies and put his kids through college and grad school. He’s the founder and former president of the A.K. Rice Institute and professor of psychiatry at UCSF School of Medicine. He conducts lectures and provides consultation to businesses, professional organizations and government agencies 10 PACIFIC SUN JULY 12 - JULY 18, 2013

He’s also a unner, although he has to wear a support runner, leeve on his left knee, which was further sleeve damaged by a sloppy surgeon. He decided So what not to take revenge. kind of action is Wearing shorts and a green T-shirt, needed? he lounges sideways in his chair as When a woman is raped, we talk, one bony leg propped up for example, it’s very difficult [for against the table, one hand behind her] to come out and say that it’s haphis head, his elbow bent.

Their scapegoated? lives are changed and they can’t let it go. I saw that it wasn’t enough just to reflect Most therapists do a very good job when you’re really traumatized.

KRAMER and do anything. That’s not our I also saw this in the consulting job. And most therapists do not work I did to large corporations deal beyond reflection and a little in South Africa. You couldn’t ask behavioral work. people who had been damaged by Do you, as a therapist, guide people apartheid to just suck it up.

toward some kind of act action? someon was No. Let’s say someone abused by a pri priest and 20 years later he comes b back a and de destroys pr that priest’s life. That’s a pre big pretty act. Destroy his life by exposing the abuse. Yes. As a therapist you might ask why he doesn’t do that, but you can’t take re responsibility for the consequences. peop But is revenge enough to help people recover? You gave a TED talk in which you “he spoke about people who become “heroes,” as you call them — people like Nelson Manwh go dela or Oprah Winfrey — people who on to have productive lives lives, or who be become helpers or healers to other victims. It seems to me those are the real success stories. A rape victim, for example, who goes and volunteers at the rape crisis center. There are people who do that. But most people can’t get there. Or even if they can, it’s not enough. We have lots of crimes that are committed for revenge. Most crime is about revenge — for childhood trauma, for some later trauma. Volunteering at a crisis center is a weak response. Revenge is much stronger than that. What you’re saying is one very nice possibility in a very civilized place. But it would work for only a highly developed

person who got enormous support for doing it and they still can’t sleep at night. The law prevents you from doing what you might want to do. So I’m exploring what are the alternatives to turning the other cheek. What are the alternatives? Can you give me a hypothetical example of how a rape victim, or some other scapegoat, took an alternative path? OK, say you were the victim of a ďŹ nancial scam. You lose half of your money or more, you know who did it, and over the next year or two you set out to bankrupt that person. And you do. That’s very effective. That’ll make you feel good. And that’ll help you sleep at night? Oh, absolutely. Wouldn’t it help you? I don’t know. But let’s say that your daughter was raped. You’re not her therapist, you’re her father. How would you help her? That would depend on who my daughter was and what her assets were. Make something up. Well, one thing that could happen is the rapist would go to prison for the rest of his life. And be castrated. That’s where her mind would be. But she can’t do that because she would go to jail. Well, it would be wonderful if she started a rape center in the town where she lived. It would be wonderful if she could realize that suffering is part of our lot and maybe she could learn to forgive. But she’s full of anger! And we are constrained by law. So how do you help your daughter? I pretty much can’t help my daughter except maybe get her to a good therapist. But you said that’s not enough. So you can’t help your daughter. There’s nothing you or she can do. She’s toast. Well, that’s usually the fate of people that are traumatized. That’s common. People go around feeling like victims. You know, half the programs that are on TV are about revenge. That’s our way of displacing things that have no answers because if we went around revenging ourselves violently, we would not have a society. It would come apart. So we have a legal system. And that’s where art comes in. Shakespeare wrote about Othello, this guy who got incredibly jealous. And Iago lost his job. He got revenge! He was a happy man! But this is a huge, paradoxical part of trying to become civilized. So I don’t know if I’m answering your question... You’re not... I hoped there was some kind of path that could help people transcend and get beyond the trauma. OK, let’s talk about scapegoating. Scapegoating is a function of groups that are behaving really badly. But it’s also a way for groups to develop. So they exclude people that don’t work in to what they want. And that helps groups function, as well as hurts the individuals or subgroups that are excluded. But as a consultant, you can stop scapegoating from happening, or at least make it less damaging.

The Sausalito psychiatrist was bullied as a child; he now believes the only way for victims to find true closure is revenge.

That is what I do as a consultant. OK! So your approach is to go to the scapegoaters and try to affect some sort of change. Yes. So let’s say the U.S. military came to you and asked how can we deal with the problem of female enlistees getting raped by other soldiers. I would say, let’s see what the devil is wrong with your ofďŹ cers and your training program. And you know what? They won’t hire me on that basis. Unless they’re forced. So that’s a hard issue. But yes, if you’re dealing with scapegoating you’re better off trying to do prevention with a group. For example: bullying, which is another form of scapegoating. It’s a culture that allows bullying. So you can help by ďŹ guring out what the group process is. You look at the whole system — the teachers, the people who work at the playground, the prin-

cipal and the school board. And see how that system is allowing violence. And I’d probably sit with the kids and see what’s going on. And they might begin to see that there is some advantage to not excluding the scapegoat. There might be some advantage to having them in the group. I’ll give you an example from my own life. I was a very tiny kid and I was beaten up a lot for a couple of days. So the next time somebody tried to bully me, I just went at him. He was much bigger than me so I went for his throat and I went for his testicles. I was violent. And very quickly no one ever bullied me again. The bullying didn’t stop in my school, they just found another scapegoat. The next step was in high school. I went to a really tough high school. There were drugs and the president went to jail and we had race riots. Where did you grow up? It was in Far Rockaway, New York. And I was a little kid and I was getting good grades and I was privileged. So I found friends who were big and strong. And I had things to offer them — I could help them with their homework! And that was incredibly effective. And I still do that. I always have someone who I call my “protector.� But neither one of those tactics would have solved the problem in the school. That would have required solving the problem of race relations in 1952. There was no way to do that. Hazing is another form of scapegoating and that’s a tough one. Kids die, or commit suicide. But now 40 states have passed laws against hazing. And you can go into the fraternities and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of having a group process that is based on scapegoating. What are the advantages for a group to stop scapegoating? The easiest place to see that is in a corporation. If you have a business group that is dependent on creativity or innovation, as we do in Silicon Valley, let’s say, you do not want

< 11 The man who stares at 'goats to scapegoat people who are geeks. You do not want to scapegoat people who think out of the box. [ Laughing] Especially if it’s the CEO. Well, yes. But if you’re in an ordinary production line, you want people that can work together, so you might not want people who are strange, different or don’t follow the rules. So scapegoating might work for that system. But if you need an innovative group, you absolutely can’t scapegoat the bright people. So, [say, if your company is] Japanese, where everybody is very similar, you discover Colman also pens fictional revengethat you’re losing out to fantasy thrillers about Apple. So you go into a scapegoats. Japanese company and you say, you want to innovate? You want to keep up with these crazy Americans? Then you can’t scapegoat your people! But you have to change the leadership, or at least teach the leaders. OK. Here in Marin County, immigrants and minorities are often scapegoated. When someone proposes an affordable housing project in a neighborhood, the neighbors are up in arms and they’ll come up with all sorts of objections to block the project: it’ll create too much traffic, it’ll bring down property values... And George Lucas will [propose the housing project] as a way to get revenge [for the neighbors blocking his film studio project]. That’s a straight revenge scenario! [Laughing] So what do you recommend to the County of Marin, let’s say, to deal with these anti-housing groups? It’s complicated, because you’re trying to change the culture the people have created.

And they are rich and savvy enough to get every legal help they can get. It’s the same as 30 years ago when black people were moving in to the nice, white neighborhoods. It took laws, it took changing the image, and it’s still not finished. The problem in Marin County is really similar. We don’t want an alcohol rehab center next door. So I would try to have a think tank, sitting with the community leaders and help them see sort of the advantage [to allowing the project]. They need to maybe mobilize their sense of decency and righteousness. So someone gets up and says, you know, this is wrong! I don’t want to be in this community if we can’t handle having poor people here. And that person might have the moral authority. And I, as the consultant, would say when people try to turn her or him down, “Listen to that person. We’re trying to get all the ideas.” Because she would be a natural scapegoat. My saying “don’t shut her up” would be worth a week of my pay, because it’ll prevent her from being thrown out. So you need someone who’s a member of the group who has that moral authority? As the consultant, you can’t make that case yourself? “Your children can’t afford to live here, they have to come visit you Colman is the author of nine from somewhere far books on the nature of group relations. away. Your gardeners have to drive here from across the bridge and their cars are polluting the air...” It’s hard for a consultant to get any purchase on a group unless you are really trusted. And since consultants are going to leave, it’s hard to trust what they say. Behind

closed doors, people will say, “come on, he doesn’t live here!â€? I had a friend who had kids in Sausalito and at that time there were two segregated school districts, one in Sausalito, one in Marin City, it wasn’t the same uniďŹ ed school board. He got up — he was a very liberal guy, he was powerful — he suggested to the school board that it would be economically more viable [to unify]. It went through. And in a month he moved his entire family. As soon as he saw the kids that he had helped integrate, he didn’t want his kids educated there! That’s a real story. If you publish that, he will know who he is. Oh, so you don’t want me to... No, you can! I’ve been trying to get revenge on that little bastard all my life! [Cracking up] What a thing to do! He was on the right side, but he didn’t want it on his block, with his kids! So when you go in as a consultant sometimes you make an impact not because of what you say, but just because you’re watching the group and make an intervention that connects. Or supports someone inside. Working with groups around scapegoating is really difďŹ cult. People don’t want to stop doing that. It doesn’t work in the long run, but it works in the moment. Yes, it’s counter-productive. A much more effective way for a group to operate is in harmony.

Not always. That’s the trouble. It depends what your goals are. Well, for the U.S. military, it doesn’t utilize the skills of all the soldiers if there’s a culture of rape and scapegoating of the female soldiers. I was in the military, I was drafted during Vietnam, and I stayed in Washington and I consulted a lot. I was lucky. That was before women were in the military. The people who have the job of ďŹ ghting, protecting our country, they’re a tough bunch of people. They have grown up in cultures that are not friendly to women, and don’t know much about the humanity of women. So the job of integrating women is enormously difďŹ cult. It’s not the military, it’s the culture that has in it violence towards women. It’s the same with fraternity hazing. The culture allows it. You allow the sons to do it because you did it as a father. And if they get in trouble, you say, “boys will be boys.â€? So if you want to change the hazing system, you’ve got to deal with the fathers. And in that instance, the motivation of the parents is to keep their kids out of jail. But what you keep hearing is, “we did it as kids.â€? That’s not a recipe for change. Who’s trying to change it? <

f you knew your psychotherapist had graduated from the San Francisco Comedy College would you 1) ask to see his diploma, 2) request a performance, or 3) demand your money back? “I tried my hand at stand-up rather unsuccessfully,” said Dr. Roger Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., DHL and a professor of psychiatry, philosophy, anthropology and religious studies at U.C. Irvine. Walsh wasn’t crushed by his unsuccessful comedy efforts — his real interest is exercise and mental health and he, with others, recently completed a treatise on 8 Ways to Wellbeing

of the eight TLCs,” he says. (See sidebar). Although this may seem like selling coals to Newcastle in Marin, whose residents appear to spend an enormous amount of time at the gym and its ancillary workout trails on the mountain and the marsh, Walsh believes there is a larger audience who hasn’t gotten the message. Walsh addressed the issue nearly two years ago with an explicit article in the professional journal American Psychologist. Not enough attention is given to exercise for treating mental illness and enhancing wellbeing, he says. “Health professionals have significantly underestimated the importance of lifestyle for mental health,” he said. “Only about 10 percent of therapists recommend exercise to their patients. It’s time we empowered patients’ self-management of their Nothing like a little exercise to mellow the mood of Mellow Marin. own health. that stresses TLC (see below). It includes The pharmaceutical industry just wants exercise for just about every ailment from to throw pills at these problems. We can Alzheimer’s to spiritual crises. do more and we can feel better.

But ing and lack of exercise were so critical few mental health professionals, he thinks, that even the World Health Organization is recognize that a good exercise program sounding the alarm. alone can often alleviate depression as “Not to be overlooked is the value of effectively as medication and even reduce meditation,” said Walsh, who teaches medithe risk of Alzheimer’s significantly. “I call tation to students and faculty at Irvine. it TLC,” he said, “Therapeutic Lifestyle “To date the most studied disorder in Changes that foster well-being without the The Eight TLCs medication mania that overlooks many causes of psychological disorders, includ1) Exercise ing anxiety, depression and age-related 2) Healthy diet cognitive loss.” 3) Stress management Walsh and his colleagues are developing a PBS documentary and multimedia 4) Recreation program titled 8 Ways to Well-being: What 5) Supportive relationships Science Tells Us About Living Wisely and 6) Time in nature Well.

relation to exercise is mild to moderate depression,� he said. “Exercise increases brain volume, both gray and white matter, and can improve intellectual capacities, social functions, emotional states and caregiver distress.� Ever since the first healthy pizza with kale and arugula came out of the oven we knew the Mediterranean diet was god-given. Fresh and green became a new mantra. Walsh’s own mother’s history is instructive here. “At 76 my mother had coronary insuf f icienc y and had trouble Life got you down? Go take a hike, walking. At 77 says Walsh. she followed the Dean Ornish lifestyle program, at 78 she started jogging, at 79 she started pumping iron at the gym. When she was 80 she beat me on the treadmill.� But to the point, how do Marin’s pizzaand-beer lovers get started? “First think of what you’d like to do,� Walsh advised. Don’t get too ambitious, find a workout friend or colleague, start slow with modest goals— say, four days week to start, 30-minute sessions. Mostly, he says, enjoy yourself. Walsh graduated from Queensland University in Australia with degrees in psychology, physiology, neuroscience

and medicine and came to the U.S. as a Fulbright Scholar. At Stanford he passed licensing exams in medicine, psychology and psychiatry and then moved to UC Irvine where he is professor of all that stuff said above. He has made contributions to more than 250 publications, authored Essential Spirituality (Wiley Press, 1999) and The World of Shamanism, (Llewellyn Press, 2007) and recently edited The World’s Great Wisdom, which addresses how one can cultivate wisdom using the seven great religions, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism and Islam. “My wife, who is also a psychologist, said that I should turn my attention to wisdom, as a study, and therefore the book,� Walsh confessed. Although Walsh wrote a book on the little-understood practice of shamanism, he did not include it in The World’s Great Wisdom. As if this polymath weren’t busy enough, he is now teaming up with producers David Kennard and Lizzie Kennard, and their company InCA Productions, to create a PBS documentary and multimedia program on 8 Ways to Wellbeing. The Kennards are award-winning documentarians with offices in San Francisco, Toulouse, France and Nairobi. The group is in fund-raising mode to raise $1 million dollars.

Point Reyes Farmstead coagulates to gold at Fancy Food Show by Pat Fusco

N

ews flash: At last week’s annual Fancy Food Show in New York, Marin’s own Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. was awarded coveted golds in two categories—and both were ties. It won top honors in the new product category with its Pt. Reyes Bay Blue (tied with Jeff ’s Select Gouda from Caves of Faribault) and gold in the cheese or dairy category for Toma (tied with Fine Cheese Co.’s Pearls of Pure Goat Cheese). The competition is part of the semi-annual exposition by the Specialty Foods Associations that showcases products from all over the world. (Check on more Point Reyes news below.) SUDS FOR A CAUSE Thirteen is not an unlucky number for beer lovers. The 13th annual Breastfest Beer Festival takes place Saturday, July 13, at Fort Mason in San Francisco (2-6pm) when more than 80 breweries get together to support the Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Clinic, a public health clinic providing free alternative medical services to women in poverty battling breast cancer. The event will be a beer-tasting extravaganza with barbecue, salads and sandwiches. Wonder Bread 5 will provide the musical background. Premier sponsors include Marin Brewing Company and Moylan’s Brewery & Restaurant, and Iron Springs Brewery will be there. Cost is $50 advance, $60 at the door. http://thebreastfest.org. FOREIGN FESTS Three cheers for the rouge, blanc et noir! Bastille Day is Sunday, July 14 and everyone gets to be French while staying right here in Marin. Each year Left Bank in Larkspur decorates for the celebration and features special rustic summer foods on its menu all day long. Connected by the same ownership, three places to savor the holiday are Le Garage and F3 in Sausalito and L’Appart Resto in San Anselmo. Pastries and light meals await at La Boulange (Novato and Strawberry Village) and Champagne French Bakery, Mill Valley and Corte Madera Town Center. At Mill Valley’s Sweetwater Music Hall, Cabaret d’Amour will be a provocative evening of drink, food, music and diversions (lingerie show, anyone?). Perhaps the most atmospheric surroundings will be at The French Market (9am-3pm) at the Civic Center, an outdoor gathering of vendors with imported antiques and vintage goods, a jovial accordionist and a tent where shoppers can find breakfast or lunch crepes and galettes. Next weekend will give us a chance to immerse ourselves in another culture at the

annual Catalan Festival (July 20, noon4pm), a tradition at Gloria Ferrer Caves and Vineyards in Sonoma. This afternoon combines folklore, music and dance, cooking demos and authentic foods like tapas and paella, along with Ferrer’s sparkling and still wines. Tickets are $65 ($60 for those under 21). www.gloriaferrer.com. CLASS-Y DINNER Here’s a terrific idea: an in-depth, day-long cooking class that comes with the chance to have a non-cooking guest join you for dinner that evening. The Fork, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company’s culinary branch, is staging Demystifying Cooking with Fire: HandsOn BBQ & Grilling Saturday, July 20. Chef Laura Lee will cover the vast subject in a class lecture and outdoor hands-on participation: California grilling vs. traditional barbecue, fuels, heat control, etc. An afternoon meal will include pork, chicken, and beef with locally-inspired side dishes. Following a walking farm tour and cheese and beer tasting, the day will end with a seated dinner. Student fee: $185 per person; $45 for a guest (includes farm tour, tasting, and dinner). www.pointreyescheese.com. DESSERT-ED ISLAND One of our most spectacular settings for outdoor pleasure is Angel Island, a quick little ferry ride from Tiburon. Not enough of us realize that it’s possible on weekends to head across the water for lunch or an afternoon’s entertainment on its shore. Angel Island CafÊ has casual foods like soups, salads and sandwiches (even a Cowgirl Creamery cheese board) to eat outside. Cove Cantina & Oyster Bar with its deck for sitting over Lagunitas Ale from the tap or a glass of wine is where there’s free live music every Sunday (2-4:30pm). http://angelisland.com. < Contact Pat at patfusco@sonic.net.

The psycho killer was played by Stacy Thunes, the sister of Mother Hips’ bassist Scott Thunes and the only professional actor in the cast. The newlyweds were portrayed by reallife married couple Jim Irving and Trudy Totty, who Click met when he played at their wedding reception. The last ride featured Elvis Presley impersonator Rick Torres, who Click found on Facebook. The rest of the cast was made up of friends of the band.

The classic cars, including a 1960s vintage Avanti and a restored 1949 Buick Roadmaster series II convertible, were loaned by Jack L. Hunt Automotive Sales & Service in San Rafael. Nightclub scenes were filmed at Rancho Nicasio. “The video is an idea I had that I thought would be funny,” Click says on the phone from Portland, Oregon, where he was preparing to perform for 25,000 people at the Waterfront Blues Festival (opening for Robert Plant, Mavis Staples, John Hiatt and others). “It turned out really well. Still, it was a lot of work, being an actor and a director and doing the scenes over and over to get the right shots. “But we’re going to do another one for our next single.” < Put Greg on the casting couch at gcahill51@gmail.com.

›› SPiN of the Week Rock Bop Rhythm & Blues by the Sorentinos The Sorentinos continue to amaze. The past three years have seen a string of stylistically shifting, self-produced CDs packed with catchy, intelligent lyrics by North Bay songsmith, guitarist and bandleader Danny Sorentino, and street-smart instrumentation by guitarist Howard Vatcher, guest guitarist Steve Lee, bassist Rob Ruiz (chief ranger of the Marin County Parks), and drummer Rory Judge. Their latest is a well-crafted homage to ‘50s and ‘60s rock. The songs range from the Tom Petty-worthy retro vibe of “Blue Collar Rocker” and the jazzy Beat-era inspired “Cool Like That” to the mid-tempo rockabilly title track and the anthemic “Time to Rock.” Fifteen powerhouse tracks. No clunkers. You can catch the Sorentinos in the act on Friday, July 12, at 6 p.m., at a free concert at Rohnert Park’s city plaza. —GC JULY 12 - JULY 18, 2013 PACIFIC SUN 17

Here the setting is a provincial, tucked-away village where a person’s life can be destroyed on a dime or a whim as easily as in any dark alleyway. If the crime is heinous enough, asks director Thomas Vinterberg, are we willing, even eager, to suspend the Director Vinterberg’s best known film, ‘The Celebration,’ also deals with accusations of central concept of child molesting, which kind of takes the auteur theory to a whole new level.

The House of Sand and Fog (2003) starred Ben Kingsley as Behrani, an Iranian expatriot whose dreams of buying a home for his family come true when he purchases a cheap property that was foreclosed upon its current owner (Jennifer Connelly) due to a bank error. In the film, Kingsley’s character works for a road crew on the Waldo Grade in Marin, but those scenes were filmed in Southern California. A second unit shot this cool view of the Golden Gate Bridge on an appropriately foggy day from the Vista Point lookout on the Marin end of the bridge, where some of the grandest views of the bay can be found. The Lone Sailor Memorial statue at Vista Point sums the view up nicely with a plaque that reads: “Here the sailor feels the first long roll of the sea, the beginning of the endless horizon that leads to the far Pacific.” —Jason Walsh

ViDEO Point ‘Break’

The wall-to-wall bikini cover of SPRING BREAKERS will have you thinking it’s a sex romp in the mold of Hardbodies or Private Resort, but those who see Harmony Korine in the fine print will have a clue to the bravura-false advertising pulled off in this, his best and most disturbing film. The direcOur spring break looked a lot like this, only without the women... tor of Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy (and one-time Bolinas resident!) sees desolation in the heart of young America like no one else—in beautiful suburban wastes, where teens and kids have only their pathologies to guard them from the overhanging menace. But where on Earth could that menace be less likely to turn up than at the annual Florida party blowout, showcasing acres of naked flesh, kegger dance parties, glistening beaches and zipless frolics? Into paradise come four young women, fresh off the bus and looking to “click and freeze” life at its most perfect—embodied, they soon discover, in the menacing rapper and gangster Alien (James Franco), who seems to have a hand in everything. Credit Franco, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens for trusting their careers and wholesome images to a director so willing to put them at risk. Korine is supremely confident in his storytelling, straightahead when he needs to be and then effervescent like a firework or Burroughs cut-up. Spring Break Forever! —Richard Gould JULY 12 – JULY18, 2013 PACIFIC SUN 19

››ADViCE GODDESS® by Amy Alkon

Q:

I’ve been seeing my boyfriend for 10 months and living with him and his 12-year-old daughter for half that time. He broke up with his daughter’s mother after she became addicted to coke and then meth. She has been in and out of jail and has a massive number of possessions, loads of which are still here: furniture, little picture frames, small decorative pieces, jewelry boxes full of random junk (earrings, magazine clippings, makeup, little figurines, candy wrappers). When I moved in, I spent days boxing up many of her possessions, but she claims to live in a tiny apartment, won’t divulge where, and refuses to take a single box. She even freaks out at the mention of getting rid of her dumb garden gnomes (which she stole from someone’s yard while high). If my boyfriend tried to make her take her things, she’d have a huge meltdown, putting their daughter in the middle, and he’s submissive to her because of that. I’d put everything in storage, but we don’t have the extra money. My boyfriend’s getting exasperated about this, and I’m thinking I should just drop it. I hate living among all of her things, but I love him so much that I don’t seem to have a choice. —Smothered

A:

You’re a hard lady to buy a housewarming gift for, as they don’t make plaques that say, “Home is where the heart-shaped jewelry box full of your boyfriend’s daughter’s mother’s candy wrappers is.” It’s no small thing, having to wake up every day in some other woman’s twobedroom junk drawer. But like many women, you seem to prioritize your relationship over your feelings and well-being. There are compromises to be made in any romantic partnership, but being gnawingly miserable in order to be happy doesn’t end well, assuming you weren’t looking to live resentfully ever after. Healthy compromise involves expressing your feelings and together figuring out solutions that work for both of you, not keeping your feelings to yourself until clutter control suggestions like “put random stuff in pretty baskets” give way to thoughts like “commit arson.” There is a way to turn this situation positive—without lighting a match or opening your front door and yelling, “Yard sale!” Use this as your training ground for developing healthier conflict resolution. To bring up how you’re feeling, open with the good stuff—how much you appreciate him and your life together—and then tell him that you’re unhappy living in a house that constantly reminds you of his ex. Let him know that you understand his concern for protecting his daughter but that the solution isn’t submitting to emotional blackmail; it’s talking to his daughter in advance about what you’re doing and why and maybe scheduling a sleep-away for her on the day the trash hits the fan (or, more prudently, the storage unit). Tempting as it must be to “store” his ex’s things in a landfill, it’s safest to proceed with the expectation that she’ll sue him for that and claim that the bud vase that was under the bed came from the Qing dynasty and not free, with a Wednesday wax job, from the carwash. As for your not having the “extra” money for storage, tending to your feelings, as well as your boyfriend’s, may mean that you both go without lattes or do odd jobs so you stop living as a second-class citizen to two stolen garden gnomes, 17 partially filled shampoo bottles and all the rest. University of Chicago law professor Lior Strahilevitz said that the law typically regards a situation like you’ve described as “gratuitous bailment,” legalese for a person’s temporarily holding someone else’s property without benefit or compensation. He suggests that your boyfriend send several emails and texts and leave phone messages telling the ex that she needs to pick up her possessions from the storage facility “within a reasonable amount of time.” (What that would be varies by jurisdiction.) I suggest that you also photograph her stuff and document all the steps you take. According to Strahilevitz, your boyfriend would be wise to hang on to small valuables, like photos and fine jewelry, which aren’t a menace to store. But, he says, “donating or disposing of the furniture and junk after a few months in which emails and calls ... asking her to remove the property were ignored probably would not constitute gross negligence,” a scary legal term that merely describes being really careless with someone’s property. Although, at the moment, one woman’s trash is another woman’s trash, the prognosis looks good for that “another woman” no longer being you. Personally, I’m picturing the winning bidder on “Storage Wars” dreaming of abandoned art treasure in her unit and finding it—from Rodin’s little-known “garden gnome sitting on a toilet” period. < © Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. www.advicegoddess.com.
