››LETTERS Last night, a DJ saved my life I listened to KTIM faithfully during my high school years from ’79 to ’82 [“Do You Remember Rock ’n’ Roll Radio?”

July 5]. Helped change my life in many, many ways. The DJ connection was truly special and unique and it makes all the difference to me. There are a gazillion stations available now, but there HAS to be a DJ I connect with, someone who puts thought into the sequence of songs, who knows their music history, who can play something I know and love and also introduce me to something I’ve never heard.

Where are the good DJs? It’s a lost and unappreciated art.

Stacey Luce, Oakland

claiming to make a practice of urging his patients who have been victimized, scapegoated or traumatized to act out some sort of revenge as part of their therapy. This position flies in the face of common sense and every psychological or spiritual tradition I can think of.

Having practiced psychotherapy myself for 45 years, Dr. Coleman’s claims made absolutely no sense to me. However in his defense, it was clear that whenever Jill Kramer pressed him to be specific or to give a concrete case example, he became consistently vague and indirect, frequently bobbing and weaving throughout the interview. His obvious ambivalence and doubts about his own thesis are a relief to read. Apparently Dr. Coleman does not really believe in his own theories.

Kenneth Kelzer, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Novato

One track mind

Other KTIM alum include Drake High grad Bennett G. Schwarzmann, shown here at the station in 1957, who’d go on to DJ fame as Alex Bennett.

Revenge, a dish best served lukewarm...

I was appalled to read Jill Kramer’s lengthy interview [“It’s Not Me, It’s YOU...”

July 12] with Dr. Arthur Coleman, a psychiatrist practicing in Sausalito. Dr. Coleman certainly grabbed headlines by

The problem with bikes on narrow trails is combining the laws of physics and gravity which dictate that anything with wheels is harder to stop than something without wheels, especially when aided by gravity and downhill forces.

Stopping distances for bikes are similar to autos. That is one reason why bikes, skateboards and scooters are universally prohibited on sidewalks and prohibited from areas shared with pedestrians. A narrow hiking trail is essentially an unpaved pedestrian sidewalk.

The potential for wheeled vehicles traveling too fast and unable to stop quickly, coupled with the downright disregard for law, are the essence of the issue. This, along with the fact that the trails are not straightarrow like a sidewalk and therefore the visibility is frequently obscured. Short and

otherwise limited sight lines obscure the basic safety of the hiker and equestrian.

Relative to the centuries-old history of our trails, the mountain bike is a very new recreational device that sounded quite benign at its outset. That was because there were few of them out there and they were not initially technically capable of the speeds they are today. Vehicle code laws were established after autos became popular enough to need them. Just because an invention becomes popular does not mean that its users are entitled to unbridled usage contrary to safety of the general public.

Mountain bikes are no more suitable on single-track trails with poor visibility than other wheeled devices (other than wheelchairs for disabled) are on sidewalks. Just because their proponents are very vocal does not mean they can expect free rein to ride wherever they choose any more than I can drive my car as fast as I want to.

Like it or not, the responsibility of resolving this issue is [the cycling community’s] responsibility and requires immediate, positive action controlling this out of control issue of bikes on single track trails.

Duffy Hurwin, Tiburon [Editor’s note: Thanks for writing, Duffy. One thing we’d like to bring up. From what we’ve been told by bike and traffic officials, bikes, skateboard and scooters are allowed on sidewalks, unless a sign clearly indicates otherwise.]

system of laws and not an objective one.

Something not too different happens in the trial courts. In California in the state court years ago a jury acquitted LAPD officers for mercilessly beating Rodney King — on video no less — not because the jury ignored the law but because it did what a jury does: decide what witnesses and what facts it will believe. The other thing it did, like all juries and the Supreme Court, is reach a result that generally follows the social and political beliefs of its members, though this aspect of our system is officially denied.In the Zimmerman case, many have speculated that if it had involved the shooting of a white teenager, the jurors would have thought, “the senseless death of an unarmed child should not go unpunished,” and the jury would have managed to find the facts to convict. But instead a black teenager was killed, provoking a very different reaction by the jury, one difficult to overcome no matter how skilled the prosecutor.

The contrast is even greater if you consider the countless poor defendants of all colors (but especially non-white) convicted and sent to prison and even death row on weak, contradictory and false evidence by the very same system which, in its solicitude of the accused’s civil rights and the rule of “proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” acquitted Zimmerman.We are not “a society of laws” as that phrase is usually understood. Rather, we are a rigidly defined hierarchy of class and race existing under an elaborate and fraudulent veneer of legality.

Roger Stoll, San Rafael

We have seen George Zimmerman, and he is us

Unless you see something like this, plan on sharing the walk with Marin’s two-wheeled friends.

So much for judging ‘not by color of skin, but content of character’...

Regarding the George Zimmerman verdict: Most people believe that if you leave aside the human element of judges, juries and lawyers, the law itself has some objectivity and consistency to it. But it’s not true. The law is a versatile tool that can be used to reach a wide range of results.

Take for example the recent batch of U.S. Supreme Court decisions, one-third of which were 5 to 4. True the U.S. Supreme Court decides particular questions of law that arguably might be new, but in doing so the Court is supposed to follow the U.S. Constitution and past Supreme Court decisions interpreting it. If the justices are so sharply divided so often then they are plainly operating under a highly subjective

The culprit in the George Zimmerman/ Trayvon Martin case is all of us. We have created a society that glorifies violence in television, movies, video games, and, even, sports.

We have insisted on the “right” to bear arms, thus, giving us several times more handgun murders per capita than other developed nations, and making us all more vulnerable. We elect legislators who cater more to powerful special interests (such as the NRA) than to the public good. Congress was unable to even pass stricter background checks after the Sandy Hook massacre.

We choose to spend money on war and armaments, making us more hated and less safe, rather than on health care, education, and humanitarian aid which would strengthen us both at home and abroad.

Ann Troy, San Anselmo

The prosecution rests...

Trayvon Martin didn’t have to die.

That’s all that needs to be said.

Eco dream teams Carbon-conscious Marin households go far greener than expected...

by Pe te r S e id m an

I

f they can’t do it, we can.

That takeoff from the old sports fight cheer describes the strategy that’s sprouting from a grassroots effort to bend the climate-change curve. Tired of inaction in the national arena in Washington, organizations have formed to promote carbon reduction on the household and neighborhood levels. And an organization called Citizens Climate Lobby has an idea that would prod the transition from a fossil-fuel economy to a renewable future using market forces as the engine of change. It’s an elegant solution that just may work.

On the ultra-local level, Resilient Neighborhoods has posted some impressive results when households follow a low-carbon diet, proving that individuals can make a difference in reducing carbon emissions. The Marin organization that Tamra Peters formed ended a pilot program last December that created carbon-reduction teams in towns across the county. Twenty years ago, Peters worked with David Gershon, who created a 30-day program aimed at reducing household carbon emissions by 5,000 pounds. Peters based the Resilient Neighborhoods program on Gershon’s low -carbon diet.

The Resilient Neighborhoods program also has an emergency preparedness element designed to promote, yes, resilience in neighborhoods. Resilient Neighborhoods formed groups comprising five to seven households into “eco teams” that looked for ways to cut household carbon consumption. Businesses also joined the effort. Autodesk formed an eco team and Marin Clean Energy came on board. The Marin Municipal Water District joined as a partner, providing instructional materials for neighborhood teams. Meeting over about two months in five to seven sessions, the teams formulated their strategies to reach a goal of cutting 500,000 pounds of carbon emission a year.

Resilient Neighborhoods met its initial goal of enlisting 100 households. The final tally includes a total of 106 households that participated in the program, a pilot that Peters says Resilient Neighborhoods is in the process of replicating on an ongoing basis. Those households and the business element that joined the effort reduced carbon emissions by 1.3 million pounds, far exceeding the 500,000-pound goal. Peters says that reduction is the equivalent of taking 139 cars off of the road—forever.

Households in San Rafael cut the most emissions. Forty-one households reduced emissions by 492,522 pounds. Unincorporated Marin came in second, with 16 households cutting carbon emissions by 243,651 pounds.

Larkspur was third, with just three house-

holds cutting 205,510 pounds of emissions.

In Fairfax, 12 households reduced emissions by 125,786 pounds. Mill Valley followed, with four households reducing emissions by 118,662 pounds. In Novato nine households cut 89,492 pounds of emissions. In San Anselmo 13 households cut 75,275 pounds of emissions.

Considering the small number of households that participated in the pilot program and the total reduction of emissions, the possibility of making a significant dent in carbon emissions throughout the county with individual action is clear. The 2010 census says there are 111,214 housing units in the county, including rental units.

According to the final Resilient Neighborhoods tally, the average carbon reduction was 28 percent per household in the pilot program. Peters says that household emissions are a big deal in Marin because they comprise about 60 percent of the county’s carbon footprint. According to Peters, the reduction numbers are quantifiable based on work done in Portland in connection with the EPA, which determined how many pounds of carbon a specific action would reduce: doing larger but fewer laundry loads, for example, or reducing the number of vehicle trips. Small actions can yield large results, especially when multiplied by a multiplicity of households. If enough people participate.

The single household change that reduced the most emissions, says Peters, was a switch to the Marin Clean Energy 100-percent renewable product known as Deep Green.

By receiving all of a households’ electricity from Deep Green sources, households saw a carbon reduction of 117,279 pounds. Regular tune-ups on a vehicle produced a reduction of 78,800. Reducing miles driven yielded 52,940 pounds, and cutting air travel reduced emissions by 71,259 pounds. Reducing waste cans yielded a 51,000-pound reduction, and setting thermostats lower cut 42,500 pounds.

On the municipal level, towns moving to Marin Clean Energy yielded big results because Marin Clean energy has more renewable energy than PG&E, and “that really helps towns drop their emissions,” says Peters. That goes a lot more than double for the water district, which is the biggest energy customer in the county. “And if you go to Deep Green, which is what our people did, that’s fantastic.

If there’s one thing you can do, sign up for Deep Green.”

Resilient Neighborhoods has been working with towns on a carbon-reduction strategy.

The city of San Rafael included a Resilient Neighborhoods program in its general plan.

››NEWSGRAMS Psst, healthcare district buddy... can you spare a dime? The Marin Healthcare District will be coming to voters in the fall for what it says is a life-saving transfusion—as the district board this week unanimously approved placing a $394 million general obligation bond measure on the Nov. 5 ballot.

Funds from the bond, should it receive the necessary two-thirds voter approval to pass, would cover part of the cost to rebuild and modernize Marin General Hospital. According to district officials, areas in greatest need for revival include: the emergency room, intensive care units, and patient and nursing areas. The bond is also hoped to contribute to updating the hospital’s medical technology.

The requisite for the restoration stems from the need for Marin General to comply with the state’s stricter seismic safety standards that are designed to keep hospitals open and operating in the event of an earthquake. Marin General has until 2030 to comply with the state’s earthquake standards.

Jennifer Rienks, chair of the Marin Healthcare District Board, compared this bond measure to the one that passed and led to the hospital’s opening in 1952.

“More than 60 years ago, Marin voters passed a G.O. Bond which paid for the construction of Marin General Hospital,” says Rienks. “It is now time to build a new Marin General Hospital... so that we can continue to have a full service acute care hospital in our community.”

For residents, the estimated tax would be about $20 per $100,000 of assessed value—or $11 to $12 per month per household. For more information about the Marin Healthcare District Board visit www.marinhealthcare.org.—Stephanie Powell Former sanitary czar flushed into custody Former Ross Valley Sanitary District manager Brett Richards had his sojourn to an idyllic South Pacific resort town cut abruptly short Thursday, when he was arrested by the Philippine authorities on several outstanding FBI warrants.

Among the charges against Richards are misappropriation of public funds and embezzlement, as well as money laundering allegations.

According to the Marin County District Attorney’s office, Richards was arrested by the Philippine National Police, without incident, on July 11 at Moalboal, Cebu—a picturesque beach town known for its white, sandy beaches and exotic diving locales. The one-time $197,000-a-year sanitation czar was then transported to Cebu City where he was temporarily housed; the next day he was transported to an immigration-detention processing center in Manila where he awaits transfer to the United States and eventual prosecution in Marin County.

According to DA officials, the charges against Richards allege that he “misappropriated and diverted $350,000 loaned to him as part of his compensation package” from the sanitary district.

The loan was made to Richards in 2010, expressly to be used for the purchase Bay Area housing.

But when reports surfaced two years later that no such purchase was on file with any county recorder in the state, Richards abruptly resigned and left the area--his whereabouts unknown by county officials.

An eight-month investigation, say DA officials, “developed evidence that the $350,000 was moved by Brett Richards through a series of bank accounts and never utilized for its intended purpose.”

In April, arrest warrants were issued; bail was set at $1 million. The District Attorney’s Office soon learned that Richards had fled the United States and, say DA officials, “the tracking of his financial records traced him to the country of the Philippines.”The DA then asked the FBI to step in and, under the provisions of the Federal Fugitive Felon Act, and sought the issuance of an Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant.

At the time of his disappearance, Richards had repaid about $12,000, or 3.5 percent of the loan—but, according to the RSVD, no payments had been received since the autumn, and correspondence was limited to letters from Richards posted at a Florida post office. Richards hasn’t been completely silent all this time, though. His www.rossvalleysewertruth.com website, 10 >

Knickers in a knot Did the fair dress code work, or did the emperor have no, er, clothes...?

The local criminal gang element tried to conceal their identity from fair authorities with varying levels of success.

Perhaps. Or perhaps gang members never intended to wear their colors in the first place. We’ll never know for sure.

Clearly, though, fears of capricious, racebased enforcement didn’t materialize.

Maybe that’s because cops never intended to racially profile. Or maybe the lack of profiling was due to the scrutiny of groups like the American Civil Liberties Union—which sent several letters to the supes blasting the dress code as overbroad and borderline unconstitutional—and various media outlets, including this one.

V Who is that helmeted hero willing to risk his life to assist a badly injured motorist? Last month, Peter Mason headed north on 101 to the Aldersley Retirement Home in San Rafael to sing with the Marin Men’s Chorus. Just past the Sir Francis Drake exit, a pickup rammed his Mini Cooper from behind and the impact flung the small car into the next lane facing head-on traffic. When he awakened from his daze, he saw a motorcyclist stood between the wrecked Mini Cooper and the oncoming cars. The brave biker directed traffic until first responders arrived, then waved at Mr. Mason, mounted his bike, and rode away. We’d like to unmask the superhero hiding behind his helmet to give him the thanks he deserves.

The fair, however, was not without its share of fashion crimes.

W One, two, three strikes, and Caltrans is out. At least we hope they’re out—out surveying the Sausalito hillside for loose trees, boulders and rocks. Motorists have narrowly escaped serious injury in three recent slide incidents.

During rush hour last Tuesday, all 100 feet of a Eucalyptus tree landed across three southbound lanes near Spencer Avenue and crushed the front end of a Honda Fit. Last month, a rockslide closed the southbound freeway in the same area. In March, boulders and rocks tumbled onto the south side of 101 near Alexander Avenue, causing cars to collide with the guardrail and rubble from broken boulders.

While Caltrans reports that these events are ordinary, we’d prefer a little more concern and a lot more hillside maintenance.

hat if the Marin County Fair had a dress code and no one came? Well, OK, people came—more than 114,000 of them, despite the blazing July heat. But, according to the Sheriff ’s office, no one’s attire ran afoul of the rules.

Technically, of course, that’s not possible. As previously noted in this space, the dress code ordinance was almost comically inclusive, encompassing everything from A’s baseball caps to Ralph Lauren-brand clothing to the colors red, white and blue.

Chances are most fairgoers donned at least one prohibited item.

The fear among civil liberty advocates was that police would use the dress code, ostensibly aimed at curbing gang activity, as an excuse to racially profile. The Board of Supervisors, which unanimously approved the ordinance, asked for a post-fair report to see if those fears were justified.

According to the report, supplied to the Sun by Supervisor Susan Adams’ office, no one was ejected from the fair for wearing banned items, nor was anyone “contacted and asked to either remove or conceal an item.”

The report does note that “known criminal street gang members” attended the fair, but that they left their insignia at home and thus weren’t questioned or kicked out.

The only people who were arrested at the fair were nailed for public drunkenness, domestic violence, assault of a police officer and theft of a cell phone. (A Sheriff ’s office press release notes that, overall, arrests at the fair were down 30 percent compared to last year.) “[The] absence of gang attire is what [the dress code’s drafters] had envisioned and it appears clear now that is exactly what

< 8 Eco dream teams serious carbon-reduction programs. Sustainable Neighborhoods also has partnerships with San Anselmo and Fairfax, which have their own quality of life commissions that include an environmental element. Peters says her organization also is working with Mill Valley.

Critics have said that individual choices can’t add up to a hill of carbon. “Local actions are not going to save the world,” says Peters, “but we can take action here ourselves, and it deepens the understanding of the [energy] connection. You become aware that when you turn on the hot water in the morning, it’s not just the heating of the water that produces carbon emissions. The biggest single use of electricity is pumping the water to replace what you’ve taken. When people understand that connection, they [have an epiphany].

And that’s a behavior change starting.” Growing out understanding a local-level cause and effect, people can come to understand that pumping water from north to south in California has energy consequences and carbon-emission debts. The local informs the regional—and the national.

Resilient Neighborhoods is in the process of forming new teams and the organization plans to go full speed after the summer vacation season. Fairfax has offered a meeting place, which would allow Resilient Neighborhoods to have a classroom-like venue that can support groups larger than the ones that met in homes during the pilot program.

For each carbon-reducing action, teams in the pilot program received what Peters calls resilience points. San Rafael earned the most: 172,500. For now, the points are just a way of keeping score, of measuring who’s ahead in a friendly carbon-reduction competition.

But there’s a serious side, too. It lets everyone know how a team, a town, matches other teams and towns in the county. In the future it

may mean more. Peters says it’s possible that Resilient Neighborhoods could recruit businesses to join the carbon reduction effort by participating in a program similar to discount coupons. A participating business would offer specials redeemable with resilience points. In exchange, the business would gain Resilient Neighborhoods clientele and might receive a marketing boost from the organization.

People participating in the Resilient Neighborhoods program get the message that carbon emissions have reached a critical stage and immediate action is needed, says Peters. But still there are people who pay little attention to climate change news—or even still deny climate change already has happened. Although the number of deniers has decreased, there’s an unfortunate contingent still circulating in the Capitol building in Washington.

But it’s getting harder to deny. On May 9 of this year, carbon dioxide levels in the air reached 400 parts per million, the highest reading in the history of human existence.

Some climate scientists, including NASA’s James Hansen, say it’s critical to get that level down to 350 parts per million to forestall greater and “dangerous” climate-change consequences. Other climate scientists say the 400 parts per million milestone means humans are nearing a point of no return and serious global climate change is inevitable.

The warnings put the need for individual as well as collective action in perspective.

While groups like Resilient Neighborhoods are taking action regardless of the inaction in Washington, other groups are working to put pressure on Congress, but in a nice way.

Peter Joseph, M.D is a retired emergency room physician and the group leader of the Marin chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby.

According to the organization’s mission statement, “The purposes of the Citizens Climate Lobby are to 1) Create the political will for a

stable climate and 2) to empower individuals to have breakthroughs in exercising their personal and political power.”

Marshall Saunders, a successful businessman who specialized in shopping center development and leasing, founded Citizens Climate Lobby after the release of Al Gore’s 2006 film, An Inconvenient Truth. Saunders, who has a philanthropical bent, had worked with an organization called RESULTS to offer micro loans internationally. After he saw the Al Gore film, Saunders participated in “Gore Training,” which teaches participants how to reduce their carbon footprints, much like Resilient Neighborhoods and the low carbon diet process. That led him to realize that individual actions, although effective, would never be enough to meet the rising tide of carbon emissions. Saunders led the effort to create Citizens Climate Lobby to persuade politicians to take action using citizen lobbyists to do the convincing in a non-confrontational manner. Citizens Climate Lobby is active in the United States and Canada.

The organization is proposing an elegant solution to the North American addition to fossil fuels in general and to coal and petroleum in particular. In a time when the word “tax” has become an epithet in Washington, Citizens Climate Lobby is taking a bold step in calling for what it calls a carbon fee and dividend program. It’s an alternative to tax and trade proposals that usually meet with icy stares from energy industry types. Unlike that reaction, the petroleum industry looks much more benignly on the fee and dividend idea.

Getting industry support can help get political support.

Joseph became involved with Citizens Climate Lobby in 2011. “I was immediately intrigued by their approach to the climate crisis. It struck me as the most likely way to

succeed because it harnesses the enormous throw weight of the financial system in the free market, which is the biggest show on the planet.”

The idea fostered in the Citizens Climate Lobby incubator focuses on something called Pigovian taxation. That’s a tax applied to a market activity that creates negative consequences. The tax is intended to ameliorate the consequence while producing a revenue neutral strategy.

Citizens Climate Lobby proposes to assess a fee on fossil-fuel energy. The money assessed would be returned to citizens through something like a tax deduction. The money wouldn’t end up in any government coffer.

What it would do is inflate the cost of fossil fuels. But because the fee would be returned to citizens, it theoretically wouldn’t place a hardship on them.

A progressive fee that increased steadily would signal to the financial market that the days of investing in fossil fuel were over.

While fossil-fuel costs would increase, costs for renewable energy would continue to decrease as they have been doing. That would further stimulate an investment market looking for the next big thing. Even the big oil companies are aware that the transition to renewables is needed and they don’t balk at a fee and dividend plan.

Congress is the wrench in the works. That’s where Citizens Climate Lobby is working. Joseph recently returned from a trip to Washington, where he continued the push to convince and persuade legislators that a fee and dividend plan is the way to go. Conservatives could get on board, he says, because it’s not promoting big government or a tax that creates a big new program.

“It drives investment toward renewables,” says Joseph. It becomes a no-brainer.” < Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com

Pelosi was attending a Democratic Party fundraiser, hosted by Marin Congressman Jared Huffman, in Belvedere, when the Coalition demonstrators with the Coalition for Grassroots Progress crashed the party on the streets outside, raising neon signs sky high voicing their disapproval over Pelosi’s stance on the telephone surveillance.

Coalition officials stated, “It’s unacceptable for the government to target the telephone records of journalists, or to vacuum up the phone-call records of hundreds of millions of Americans, or to capture and store everyone’s emails, or to jettison centuries-long principles of due process and habeas corpus.”

Demonstrators carried signs that read, “Nancy Pelosi your absence from civics class is unexcused”; “Read the Constitution NOT my emails”; “NSA WTF”; and “NSA spies Democracy dies.”The protest started at 1:30pm at the intersection of Golden Gate Avenue and Eucalyptus Road and amassed nearly 100 gatherers.

The battle for trail space is nothing short of the history of Marin itself...

M

arin is naturally lovely, and no one denies feeling lucky to get to reside in such a splendid landscape. But, like any cherished resource, there is competition for it.

Intense competition.

This fact came to a head June 20 on the Indian Tree Preserve trails in Novato, where some bike-riding kids careened through the woods, startling a pair of female equestrians—throwing them from their spooked horses. Both riders were injured; one suffered

spinal fractures and was airlifted to a medical response team. The clueless young cyclists, unfortunately, rode off without bothering to help.

The incident has reopened a long-festering schism between cyclists, hikers and horseback riders—groups that for years have been elbowing each other for the right-of-way on Marin’s magnificent trails.

How this struggle for trail space manifests itself is nothing short of the cultural history of Marin County—as it has morphed from a

Slow versus fast. Established versus upstart. And, most combative of all: Entitled versus entitled.

Conflict in the Middle East may be resolved before peace is declared in Marin’s own homegrown 30-year-old war, which boiled over yet again last month because of the actions of a couple of reckless kids in Novato.

On June 20, Lisa Zeppegno and Nicole De Vito, both in their 40s, were riding horses on a narrow, windy, wooded, equestrian and hiker trail on Indian Trees Open Space when two boys on bicycles sped around a blind curve and appeared suddenly 10 feet in front of the animals. The startled horses promptly dumped their riders; the boys, who the riders estimated to be between 10 and

12 years of age, skidded to a stop and took off back the way they came, even though De Vito, a psychotherapist, pleaded with them for help. Zeppegno, an acupuncturist, lay on the ground, with broken vertebrae, as she would for two hours before being airlifted out and taken to a hospital. The horse she was riding, a bay mare named Coco, was found more than a day later in a gully, still in her saddle and bridle, with a broken nose and lacerations, including a deep cut in her armpit.

Reports of the accident brought immediate statements from the Marin Horse Council: “[T]he essential point is this was the result of illegal use of the trails” as well as the Marin Bicycle Coalition: “The behavior of these two young cyclists is unacceptable, and is not representative of the Marin mountain bike community.” The two organizations later issued a

to keep up with the men.

These, of course, were the “men” who took up the whole lane in their training rides, infuriating the motorists and frightening me, so I veered off into the weeds, onto the dirt roads, where there was no car, and there were almost no “pelotons” occupying the dirt roads.

A couple of factors contributed to the increased attention to our North Bay county— and its ensuing increased population.

The first factor was born in the mid 1960s, when Shell Oil sold the Marin Headlands to an out-of-town developer who dreamed of erecting a new city called Marincello. When a band of “rebel” lawyers (now starring in their own movie, Rebels With a Cause, currently showing, as I write this, at the Rafael Film Center) worked in their free time to prevent the despoilment of our now-treasured open lands near the bridge, it was the birth of the Marin environmental movement and the opening salvo in the fight for land conservation and permanent public open space.

The second factor was a real-estate miniboom in the late ’70s inadvertently ignited by publicity surrounding the Pacific Sun and columnist Cyra McFadden’s satire, The Serial. Paramount pictures turned McFadden’s subsequent book into a 1980 comedy depicting the conspicuous consumption, the self-absorption, and the entitlement of California’s richest suburb. It turns out there were actually people like that OUTSIDE the county who wanted in, and in they came. (Perhaps not surprisingly, the county supervisors made a motion to ban The Serial from the local the-

aters, which drove up ticket sales and clinched Marin’s well-earned reputation.)

But there’s also an often overlooked factor that made Marin a destination rather than just a great place to live (or invest in real estate), which also had its origins in the early ‘70s—and that’s when cyclists in their teens and 20s began exploring the vast open spaces with miles of unpaved roads right in their backyard. (It’s been well documented in movies like Klunkerz.)

All this was unfurling as the Trailside killer, David Carpenter, haunted the hills, and Mt. Tamalpais was cleared of hikers for a year or two. Into the void came the fat-tire bikers who didn’t worry about a killer on the loose.

Favorable conditions (such as a need for an alternative to fossil-fuel-intensive recreation) brought the mountain bike to an admiring global audience.

Not all in the hometown audience were fans of the fat-tire machine, and inflammatory press assured mixed responses to the bikes and their “supersonic” riders. Policy outlawing bicycles on publicly owned single track had been put into law back in the late 1970s.

These statutes haven’t changed, despite the changes in the park user’s demographics. This means that everyone who rides narrow trails in the Marin County Open Space District is an “outlaw,” regardless of how polite, or even helpful (in search and rescue efforts) they are.

Vehement disagreement and lack of opportunities for dialogue made for considerable dysfunction in the county’s “trail family”— dysfunction which continues to the present.

Cisco Moran shares an intimate moment with Damascus, as Martha McNear looks on.

tion, as well as helping with the fundraiser for the injured horse and rider, is giving away bike bells (which are a way to signal other trail users on approach) on several upcoming weekends, starting this Saturday, July 20, at China Camp State Park. (Check MCBC website for other times and places.)

Those who ride horses on Marin’s trails also have a keen interest in the upcoming presentation of the new trail plan. Monte Kruger, who is president of the Marin Horse Council as well as co-owner of the stables that houses Coco, plans to attend as well.

Kruger grew up in Marin and has been riding the trails “on and off for 50 years.” Thirty years ago she was serving a stint as president of the Marin Horse Council when conflicts with the new sport of mountain biking first cropped up. But mountain bikers using most of the trails, including narrow, wooded, hilly routes, she says, is relatively new and that is a big safety problem for hikers and equestrians.

“There’s a big population of extreme riders,” she says, “and they think they’re entitled.

Well, you can’t do whatever you want—Marin County is not for the entitled few.”

Any change in behavior has to come from within the biking community, Kruger says.

“They’re not going to listen to a bunch of old lady equestrians.”

Changing attitudes among mountain bik-

ers may be a long, hard, uphill grind.

Even the Bicycle Coalition’s efforts at peace and reconciliation have come under fire on Internet forums for mountain bikers, denounced as “groveling.” It’s a lively debate online, with many reasonable and valid points made, but they are largely drowned out by the startling aggressiveness and blatant misogyny of many posters, who deride equestrians as “fat middle-aged women,” feel horseback riders are wealthy and entitled (that word again), and some who question whether the accident really happened at all. Many use language not suitable for delicate ears. There is widespread blame-the-victim mentality (Mrwhlr: “If your horse gets spooked, tosses you off, and tramples you to death, it’s 100% your own g0ddamn fault”) and ignorance of basic equine behavior or trail etiquette. Above all else there is a demand to have more public land trails open to mountain bikes in Marin, with a sort of Manifest Destiny reasoning that because the sport is growing bikers have to break the law and even make their own trails and that is their right.

Nut jobs posting obnoxious things on the Internet—quelle surprise. But the reality on the ground in Marin—literally—lies in the growing network of illegal trails made and used by mountain bikers. “A huge problem,” Dahl says. She also points to the growing

popularity of Strava, an application/website wherein bike riders can automatically log their rides, on and off-road, and compare their times with others, all in a quest to be named “King of the Mountain” for given routes. Which, for some, makes every outing a competition, and the need for speed all important, even on illegal trails. Reportedly, weeks after the June 20 incident, 129 ride times were still proudly posted on Strava on the very no-bikes-allowed trail where the accident took place.

Boss admits there are always a few rogues in any group, but the outlaw bikers posting on the Internet do not reflect the large number of mountain bikers he knows. Kruger, however, says most horseback riders who have spent any time on Marin trails have a story about a negative experience with a mountain biker.

Zeppegno says about a year ago she was riding her horse on a no-bikes trail and encountered an “arrogant” adult biker who complained bitterly when he was asked to yield to the horses. But, she says, the vast majority of mountain bikers she’s met have been courteous and friendly, and that since the accident she’s been “overwhelmed by the amount of support I’ve received,” and is very grateful that the “Bicycle Coalition has rallied for me.”

Her recovery is slow going, painful and hard, she says, because as a runner as well

as avid horseback rider, her doctors tell her she now must simply rest. She hopes to start physical therapy in a few weeks. She can’t stay on her feet more than a few minutes and cannot sit down at all. She’s self-employed and the loss of income as well as the medical bills are daunting—she estimates $35,000 to $50,000 altogether. Zeppegno will also lose the chance, for a year, to take the exam to complete her certification as a therapy riding instructor, which she’s been working toward. Still, she’s determined to one day get back in the saddle, even if she needs special equipment, and says that if anything good comes of her accident: “If it raises more awareness [of trail-use issues], that would be my hope.”

Kruger says the other rider in the accident, De Vito, has bounced back from her fall and has returned to trail riding, and that Coco is also recovering, albeit slowly. Overall, Kruger is not entirely optimistic that the battle over Marin’s trails will end any time soon. “Right now my jury is out,” she says.

Dahl is more optimistic as she gears up for the meeting, and believes we can all get along if we just play nice.

“Yes,” she says. “I think we can work this out!”

* * * * * Today, the main forms of enjoyment of the landscape in Marin, in descending order of users, are: walkers and runners, mountain bikers and equestrians. Some do two or even three of those activities. All but a very few are motorists, as well.

Despite the existence of 600 miles of publicly owned and managed fire roads and tracks in the county park system, there is nearly no â&#x20AC;&#x153;narrowâ&#x20AC;? trail access, especially north of San Rafael. The Open Space District, whose mission is to provide recreation, only permits cyclists on one mile of single-track in the county, on the Wagon Wheel trail of Tamarancho, which is embedded in a tract of private land.

If you are either warm or neutral to cycling and cyclers, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll read this story, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read this story in the Sun because you already know the Truth (i.e. bicycles have no place on narrow trails, fire roads are enough, they should feel lucky to be allowed on unpaved terrain at all).

Trail design has come a long way since the narrow paths were etched into Tamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flanks by Matt Davis and others. Lack of design of paths and trails incites conflict, according to outdoor recreation authority Mike Van Abel. A well designed trail can separate users in a crowded urban or suburban park. Alternate day usage is another simple, cost-free solution. Alas, the county has not done much to accommodate the swelling ranks of off-road cyclists other than to step up enforcement of what can be seen as unfair allocation of recreation trails.

In other places, solutions abound that satisfy everyone (Wyomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curt Gowdy Park comes to mind) and hundreds of other mixed-use trails flourish in parks throughout the USA. Starting from the very simplest of distinctions, Marinites (and Americans in general) can be divided into the one third who routinely get on a bike at least once a month, the one third that ride about once a year, and the one third that check the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no how, no wayâ&#x20AC;? box.

They are adults and children who either had a bad experience with a bike, or know someone who did, and cannot shed their belief that bicycles equal disaster.

What this leads to, out on the trails and on the streets, is a classic us/them dilemma, the taproot of discord.

What we need is impartial authority even higher than county officialdom to balance the issues. I nominate the Dalai Lama, and, if he is busy, the three aforementioned â&#x20AC;&#x153;rebels with a causeâ&#x20AC;?, Bob Praetzel, Doug Ferguson and Martin Rosen could school Ě&#x203A;em, assuming a locked room with no exit until fair access (read â&#x20AC;&#x153;empathy to others unlike themselves) to public land based on user numbers and needs could be resolved.

If Marinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gradually diversifying population of a quarter-million souls cannot confront and manage the inevitable results of crowding overlaid with impatience and something we refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;entitlement,â&#x20AC;? then how will the rest of the warring world do it?

Self-congratulatory stories abound in Marinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s varied media, touting our ecologicallyaware practices, progressive politics and high

quality of life. And yet, traffic, crowding, and crime fill our newspapers, entertaining readership with polarizing stories. Which maximize reader involvement through heated letters to the editor but do little to propose peaceful resolution.

A New Yorker reading the IJ or the SF Chronicle in the mid-1980s to the mid 1990s would conclude that the conflict is the norm, and that the trails were under attack by supersonic, knob-wheeled invaders. Bike magazines actually abetted this unfortunate â&#x20AC;&#x153;reality,â&#x20AC;? undermining any attempts by a majority of responsible riders to reach consensus at trailuse meetings.

Anyone actually out in the parklands, water district and open space knows that even now, in the bustling 21st century, the public lands are peaceful. Even on weekends one can get some solitude if you know where to look and when to go.

A healthy share of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denizens cope with inner tumult with a walk (or ride) in the woods. The pioneer environmentalist John Muir observed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in every walk with nature, one receives far more than one seeks.â&#x20AC;?

For a jogger, some song may come to mind, a simple iambic ballad like Lennonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagineâ&#x20AC;?.

Then, as you exit the woods and re-enter the paved, suburban streets, bear in mind Thich Nhat Hanhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.â&#x20AC;?

The history of Marin bears the signatures of many too numerous to name here. But, like it or not, among them are those who blazed their trails with fat tires. Plans are afoot in Fairfax for a Marin County Museum of Bicycle History. Joe Breeze and Marc Vendetti â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a pair of the legendary pioneers of the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; have thrown themselves into the project with a verve not dissimilar to their embrace of the iconic â&#x20AC;&#x153;klunkerâ&#x20AC;? bikes they rode 30 years ago.

Exhibits will shed light on the various bicycle epochs, from the golden age (late 1800s) to dark ages (the 1950s) to the fat tire renaissance of today.

The museum will be an opportunity for the original generation of cyclists to pass along this history and, hopefully, etiquette to the new generation of ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a demographic growing larger by the day.

Nowadays, almost every high school in the county has a mountain bike team, where kids can direct their considerable energy, aided by adult coaches. These are healthy alternatives to teen drinking and drugsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;alternatives like team and individual sports which combine risk, reward with actual results. Not all kids are aiming straight for college; many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even finish high school, and our county has the means to cope with this positively.

Perhaps Marinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sluggish embrace of the two-wheel beast will be just a memory when the most recent decadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high schoolers become parents who encourage both cycling (for fun and transportation)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as horseback riding, hiking, ultrarunning, and, for all we know, singletrack unicycling for their active, fun-seeking kids. < Ride with Jacquie at jacquie@batnet.com.

For peach sake My lifelong affair with the sexiest fruit on the branch...

by Pat Fu sco

in this part of the country since one man made it his crusade to save it. We can read all about this in his moving 1995 memoir, Epitaph for a Peach, the story of how Mas (David) Masumoto rescued his family farm when his father died, bringing the superb product to market through organic channels instead of pulling up the trees that were his heritage. What is this peach like? Listen to Annie Mann, writing on the site of the Capay Valley Farm Shop last year: “Once in the mouth a ripe peach explodes into a sweet elixir while retaining just enough texture that it’s nobody’s snow cone. That peachy quality of yielding juice-filled flesh is called ‘melting flesh’ by botanists and while the science explaining this characteristic isn’t sensual, it’s sexy.”

We’re just coming into prime high season for peaches. Here are some ways to enjoy them while they are at their sexiest!

Masumoto, with his wife, Marcy and daughter Nikiko, has another book out this month, The Perfect Peach: Recipes and Stories from the Masumoto Family Farm.

The heartfelt work is full of inspiration for those who grow their own food, with ways to relish it in our kitchens. This first recipe is for a cooling drink that would be ideal for brunch or a light cocktail substitute.

PEACH SANGRIA

Peaches are believed to have originated in China; writings that date as far back as 1,000 BCE mention them as favorites of the emperors.

M

y passion for peaches began when I was around 8 years old.

Of course, I had eaten them all of my life and had always loved them, but I discovered what they were really all about on a hot summer afternoon. My Uncle Richard let me tag along with him down a sloping path to the small orchard near a lazy creek on his Georgia farm. Before he began filling the wooden fruit basket, he reached up and plucked a perfectly ripe Elberta for me, covered with soft, very fuzzy skin, warm from the sun and so large I had to hold it in two hands. Taking out his pocketknife he peeled it carefully and quickly, and gave it back to me to bite into, juices flowing out over my hands and down my arms. It was like nothing I had ever tasted before.

After that day I devoured peaches when they appeared for their neverlong-enough season. My grandmother loved what she called “English peaches” — perfumed Babcocks with white flesh and pale skins — while my grandfather favored small Indian peaches with a hint of tartness and brilliant pink insides, their skins the darkest of any of the varieties we ate. Large Elbertas were local. Since they are highly perishable and could not be shipped, they were our own big honeyed treasures to use in pies and home18 PACIFIC SUN JULY 19 - JULY 25, 2013

made ice cream. Women in the family dried the fruit to use during the winter as the filling in little fried pies, warm triangles to eat out of hand, or baked into thrifty bread puddings. They preserved them or pickled them: whole peeled globes studded with cloves, suspended in delicious vinegar/sugar syrup that could be used by itself, drizzled over pancakes, waffles and French toast.

Nowadays I am a total snob when it comes to buying the fruit. I make myself wait until I know the time has come — no hard flesh, no green spots on the skin, and an unmistakable aroma. When it’s absolutely necessary to purchase peaches to use before prime time, I know that I can leave them on a tray to ripen at room temperature, not touching each other, for a day or two, or place them in a paper bag with the top folded down to hasten the action. Losing very ripe beauties is criminal; they can go into a plastic bag and into the refrigerator for saving. I really try to shop for a few at once, only when they are...ready.

The smell of white peaches can draw me directly across a room (or a market aisle), but one peach in particular has the balance of texture and flavor and perfume that is well-nigh unmatched. It’s Sun Crest, a golden heirloom variety that has become valued

Serves 8-10 7 medium to large peaches 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 2 bottles white wine 1 lemon sliced into eighths 1 cup blueberries

Peel and pit 5 of the peaches and cut them into chunks. Place in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the sugar and blend until combined. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.

In a 3-1/2 quart container, combine peach puree, wine and lemon. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

An hour before serving, thinly slice remaining peaches and add them to the sangria along with the blueberries. Serve over ice. * * * * * Mark Bittman’s recipes are especially appreciated in the summer, getting us out of the kitchen in no time. Informal, quick, and always tasty they help us celebrate the freshest foods. This salad is an example. I like to use something peppery (arugula or watercress) in the greens mix for a balance of flavors. Taste your prosciutto before seasoning the salad — it may prove enough salt on its own.

PROSCIUTTO, PEACH AND MOZZARELLA SALAD For each person, cut a fresh peach in eight wedges. Tear prosciutto and sliced mozzarella into bite-size pieces. Dress mixed greens [lightly] with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Toss in the peaches, prosciutto, and cheese and serve. (From Kitchen Express, Mark Bittman)

Try this Shaker recipe that can work as a dessert (with ice cream) or paired with meats. It’s good with pork or ham, roast chicken or duck. This originated in Harvard Shaker Village.

FRIED FRESH PEACHES Serves 4-6 as dessert, 6 as garnish 2 tablespoons butter 6 peaches 12 teaspoons brown sugar Rosewater (optional, but a nice addition)

Peel, split and stone peaches. Melt butter in an iron skillet and add the peaches.

Fill the hollows with brown sugar and a drop of rose water. Simmer until tender throughout. * * * * * Peach desserts abound. Crisps, pies, ice creams, mousses, custards and cakes all include the fruit’s luscious essence. For something a little different I went to an expert — Nathalie Dupree, Georgia-born doyenne of Southern cooking. She didn’t fail me. The recipe below is a combination of naturally complementary ingredients, playing up fruity goodness without a lot of spice or too much sugar. It’s a perfect ending for a hot weather meal.

NATHALIE DUPREE’S PEACHES AND CREAM PIE Servings: 8 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell, edges crimped 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups sliced peaches (4 medium peaches), fresh or frozen 1 cup heavy cream

Cover and keep pie crust refrigerated until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and stir with a fork or whisk to mix them well. Add the peaches and toss to coat them evenly with the sugar mixture.

Scoop the peaches and juices into the pie crust and spread them out in an even layer.

Pour the cream over the peaches and then poke and move the peaches about so that the cream covers them evenly.

Place the pie on the bottom shelf of the oven.

Bake until the peaches are tender and cream has made a soft custard around them, 35-40 minutes.

Place the pie on a cooling rack or a folded kitchen towel and let cool to room temperature.

Note: Peeling peaches is not so difficult when using the following technique. Plunge fruit into boiling water for 20 seconds (use a wire skimmer or a slotted spoon). Remove and immediately drop into a large bowl of ice water. Use a small paring knife to start strips of the skin that can be pulled off.

Sprinkle the peeled fruit with lemon juice or dip it into a solution of 1 tablespoon lemon juice to one-half gallon water. < Take a bite out of Pat at patfusco@sonic.net.

Joey Covington’s last flight Longtime Marin drummer piloted Airplane’s early ’70s rhythm section

by G re g Cahill

J

oey Covington went to his grave believing the music world had forgotten him.

The Jefferson Airplane drummer and founding member of Hot Tuna died June 5 in a car crash in Palm Springs. He was 67.

Contrary to his fears, major media around the world—from Rolling Stone to the Today Show and TMZ to The New York Times—carried news of his death.

Ironically, his death earned only a short news wire story in the local daily, which failed to note his Marin connections.

Yet, Covington lived and worked in Marin for more than a decade and he maintained close ties to the area. His son, Nicholas Covington White, is a Sausalito police officer.

Covington was born Joseph Michno. He grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania listening to Sandy Nelson drum records and playing in polka bands at the local VFW hall. He later played in New York and Florida before moving to Los Angeles.

In 1969, Covington, known for his driving, muscular drumming style, helped

found Hot Tuna, with Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Cassidy.

A few months later, he joined Jefferson Airplane, playing in a double-drummer set-up and then replacing longtime drummer Spencer Dryden, who reportedly left after a contentious love affair with the band’s singer, Grace Slick.

“I walked into a situation where there were a lot of negative vibes already festering,” he told band biographer Jeff Tamarkin, in an interview for the 2005 book Got a Revolution: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane. “And nobody would talk about it—it was like a secret society.”

He appeared on three Airplane albums, between 1970 and 1972, and wrote the haunting ballad “Pretty As You Feel,” the band’s last hit, the kooky a capella song “Thunk,” and the bridge to the Marty Balin song “With Your Love,” from the Volunteers album.

Yet, Covington, a member of the band for two years, was snubbed in 1996 when the Airplane was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Covington, bottom center, brings a little cheer to the famously quarrelsome band, 1970.

“That broke his heart,” says Sandy White, his ex-wife.

According to the All Music Guide, “Covington became part of a group of musicians from this era who rebelled against the way the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame chooses to document the music’s history, joining forces in verbal protest and even some attempts at legal action, with artists such as the ’70s hitmakers Steely Dan and former Mothers of Invention drummer

Jimmy Carl Black.”

The group argued that the Hall of Fame receives special tax status as a museum, but fosters historical inaccuracies by excluding selected musicians.

After leaving the Airplane, Covington released a 1973 solo debut titled Fat Fandango, which went unnoticed. In 1976, he contributed the hit single “With Your Love” to Jefferson Starship’s Spitfire album, featuring former members of the Airplane.

From the mid-’70s to early ’80s, he became a fixture on the Marin music scene.

He kept a large cabin cruiser docked in Sausalito and had an amphibious car. He lived in Stinson Beach.

For several years, Covington operated a recording and rehearsal studio at Tam Junction, behind Aardvark Realty, where Walgreens is now located—Big Brother & the Holding Company used the studio to regroup in the early ’80s.

In 1978, he formed the San Francisco All-Stars, which also featured guitarist John Cipollina of the Quicksilver Messenger Service, bassist Mario Cipollina (who later became a member of Huey Lewis & the News), Steve Love of New Riders of the Purple Sage and pedal-steel guitar player Buddy Cage.

The band toured until 1986 with a revolving lineup that included such local luminaries as Dryden, Merle Saunders, Pete Sears, Peter Albin, John Dawson, Nick Gravenitis and Greg Douglas, to name a few.

Covington eventually settled in Hollywood and Palm Springs, where he lived with his common-law wife, Lauren. His website is filled with fond memories: He gave Angelina Jolie drumming lessons, backed Bo Diddley, played a James Brown tribute at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, jammed with Slash, organized a benefit for 21 >

Animosity flared when he was left off of the 1989 Jefferson Airplane reunion album, but in 2005, Covington reunited with his former band mates for an L.A. screening of the DVD documentary Fly Jefferson Airplane.

Earlier this year, he played on Pride of the South: All-Star Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd, his last known recording. His last gig was June 1 at a Palm Springs concert celebrating the 87th birthday of Marilyn Monroe.

After his death, Pacific Gas & Electric drummer Alvin Taylor, who had met Covington shortly after he connected with members of Airplane, told the Desert Sun, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joey was just down-to-earth, the most honest person, loving . . . . Just a very kind, considerate, jovial person.â&#x20AC;?

Blinded by the like Springsteen doc showcases wind-tunnels of love for the Boss...

by J u lie Vade r

I

t begins with a few words on the screen: “Bruce Springsteen fans were asked to make films describing what Springsteen and his music means to them. The following film is made entirely from their contributions.”

And with that, for some Springsteen fans, the heart sinks.

COMING SOON Springsteen & I, a Springsteen & I plays documentary directed Monday, July 22, 7:30pm,

by Baillie Walsh, and beCineArts at Marin, Sausaling shown in Marin this ito, and Century Regency 6 in San Rafael.

Monday, is exactly what it says it is. And it is done as probably as well as a project like this can be done, with more wry affection than fawning idolatry. The talking fans represent a variety of ages, races and nationalities, and only a few of the clips go on too long or are too saccharine.

A long-haul trucker explains that it was perfect to listen to Nebraska while traveling through Arizona; the surprise is that the trucker is a young, very pretty and petite Asian woman. An English bloke wearing a stained hoodie with Springsteen’s image and the motto: “The only Boss I listen to” talks about having his concert tickets upgraded by Springsteen. An off-camera voice: “I lost my virginity to ‘Thunder Road’...” (Well, it is a 4 minute, 49 second song), and several people tell their stories about dancing with, playing instruments with, or singing with the Boss, all of which are mildly interesting (although probably too long for a good “Great Moments in Rock and Roll” strip).

The paradox for some fans of the enduring rock star is that although Springsteen is unmatched for huge, anthem-belting, stadium-packing, epic-length concerts, the inherent intimacy and intelligence of much of his work is the attraction, and sharing that relationship with masses is not so appealing. That curious intimacy is also touched on: “I felt he was singing only to me,” a man marvels. And a Danish woman: “We have been friends since 1985 even though he do not know me.” Then the film cuts to a Springsteen monologue about cunnilingus, one of many brief bits of performances of the musician and the E Street Band over the years.

Many devotees of the Boss will no doubt enjoy the just-over-an-hour-long film, if only for the testimony of an unnamed girl, who looks to be about 10 years old, who explains that Springsteen is her favorite singer “Because I think he puts a lot of effort into his singing. Like, he takes a deep breath before every song and, like, when the camera goes close up you can see his veins popping out ... and after one song he’s as sweaty as a normal singer would be after he’s done, like, 10 songs.” <

You are getting sleepy Five percent of the population is completely susceptible to hypnosis—you can get them to do anything. Danny Boyle was so taken by this notion that he built a heist film around it, TRANCE, starring Rosario Dawson, James McAvoy and No trance-like state is complete without revolving circular lines behind one’s head.

Vincent Cassel, which arrives on shelves this week after a just-OK theatrical run. That was too bad because Boyle, who’s often praised for the wrong things, has reined in his excesses here and made an intricately-plotted thriller full of blood and highbrow that deserves to be seen.

McAvoy plays an art auctioneer who gets caught up in the heist of the decade— a brazen takedown of an auction in progress and snatching of an eight-figure Rembrandt—only it doesn’t turn up where it should be and McAvoy, the only one who knows what really happened, got such a blow to the head that he can’t remember. Enter hypnotherapist Elizabeth Lamb (Dawson), a skilled parser of the mind’s messages who aims to draw him out, but whose loyalty might falter when she realizes the big bucks involved. Opposites attract and director Boyle, whose name is a byword for that hyperkinetic, gritty and emphatic filmmaking that marks the Brits, may have seen the appeal of a McGuffin whose trackingdown through all the flash and bang depends on its polar opposite: The purest stillness, and a walk through the palace of memory. —Richard Gould 07/21: Petty Theft Tom Petty tribute.

Q:

I have had a huge crush on a man for several months and finally asked him out for drinks. During our “date,” he mentioned his friend he wanted to set me up with, and I told him that HE is the person I’m interested in. He laughed nervously and seemed a little shocked. We went back to his place and spent hours just talking. He revealed that he’s dating his ex-wife. She lives four hours away, and he visits her a couple times a month. We’ve since hung out at the pool and had drinks, but he again mentioned that he’s dating his ex-wife. I’ve never been this attracted to a man, and I can’t stop fantasizing about meeting him for much more than drinks!

Do I lie low, waiting for him to drop his ex-wife, or do I make a move?—Magnetized

A:

There was a reason the guy wasn’t asking you out, and it wasn’t because a cartoon witch put a spell on him and he was unable to say “How about a drink on Friday night?” until three animated teapots and several woodland animals broke the evil curse.

The wisdom of grandmas remains wise: If you want to catch a boy, don’t run after him. As I explain with some frequency, women evolved to be the harderto-get sex because having sex meant they could end up a single mother dragging a kid around the Sahara. Men coevolved to expect women to be choosier and to suspect that something’s wrong with a woman when she’s doing the chasing. This evolution and coevolution got burned into human psychology over millions of years — as contrasted by the drop in the bucket of human existence that is the women’s movement in the past 50-some years. So, even if a man’s ego is saying “Well, how groovy that she’s pursuing me!” his genes are probably starting a betting pool for whether you are seriously loose, are seriously needy, or will soon be frying up his pet koi and feeding it to him in a little lemon butter sauce.

Assuming some guy isn’t too fragile a flower to lay his ego on the line (in which case he’s lame partner material anyway), if he isn’t asking you out, he either isn’t interested enough or isn’t available enough. You’re now making this guy out to be the greatest thing since the four-slice toaster, probably to justify hanging around like a dog waiting for a scrap of food to get knocked off the counter. (In the wake of making a mistake, we have an unfortunate ego-coddling tendency to come up with reasons it wasn’t a mistake instead of admitting that, in fact, it was, which would allow us to move on.)

Any further date-flavored get-togethers with this man are a bad idea. By continuing to throw yourself at him, you’ll turn your self-respect into a chew toy. And even if he eventually detached himself from his ex-wife, there’s a good chance that, by chasing him, you’ve already screwed up the equilibrium for any relationship. A more productive deployment of your time and ego would be dating that man he offered up as a decoy or finding men on your own — the available kind — and flirting with them, which alerts them that you’re there for the chasing and interested in being chased. Flirting actually allows a woman to make the first move — but far more alluringly than by yelling “Can’t you see I want you, you moron?!” while clubbing a man over the head with the poolside club phone.

Q:

Do you text a guy after getting home from a fabulous date to hint that you want to see him again? Maybe to tell him how awesome he is or hint at your schedule? My girlfriend says no, but I think a guy should know you liked him so he feels he can ask for a second date. —Considerate

A:

There are times when a guy knows better than to ask a woman for a second date, like when she ended the first one by throwing herself out of his car while it was still moving. Otherwise, a man doesn’t need hand-holding and encouragement in the form of texts: “Here are all the dates I’m free through 2015.

Also, I’m double-jointed. Pick me! Pick me!” When you like a guy, you tell him so during your date by seeming happy and engaged and thanking him for a great time at the end, which suggests you’d be amenable to another date without also suggesting that you’re controlling and desperate. Just because we have all these fabulous high-tech ways of communicating doesn’t mean we should always be quick to use them, tempting as it can be to help a man along to the thought, “Wow...what a wonderful helicopter mom she’ll make someday.” < © Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. www.advicegoddess.com.
