Because Living at Home is the Best Way to Live
“How to cheat the orthopedic surgeon… and prevent him/her from ruining your life!” I know. You’ve suffered, in serious pain, for a long time. You’ve been on stronger and stronger drugs, and you’re sick and tired of them. You’ve had steroid shots, which “worked” for a little while, or maybe not at all. You’ve had MRI’s, and were told that you absolutely need back surgery. Your doctor talks a good game, but you doubt (properly) if he/she can deliver. I understand your pain and your fear. I’ve been there, perhaps in a worse situation than you’re in right now, and certainly at a far younger age than you are, now. I found a way out, a good way! Most people just do what they’re told, what is “accepted,” no matter the truly appalling track record of back surgery. When The Doctor says “Do it,” they do. But if you happen to be one of the few who can and will think for yourself, and possess and use your own common sense, read on! When I was only 23, the orthopedist wanted to fuse almost my entire lumbar spine. Instead, I listened to a friend, and went to the kind of doctor that I was conditioned to believe was a quack. (I was a med student.) Maybe that’s what you think, at least in the back of your mind. Well, these so-called “quacks” don’t kill anybody, while Medicine kills between 420,000 to over a million people a year. None of these “quacks” get people addicted to Oxycontin and other narcotics. (Some of those unfortunate people even go on to heroin, because they were left, by the orthopedist, in far worse pain.) One of these so-called “quacks,” my chiropractor, saved my life, literally. So, I am here to save yours! Don’t you think it’s time to rethink things? I’ll bet that that none of your doctors even understand basic physiology, that your back problems effect your nervous system, as a whole, thereby effecting your health, as a whole. That’s why, besides people, like you, coming to me with herniated disks, stenosis, spinal arthritis, scoliosis and spondylolisthesis, they’ve come in with vertigo, insomnia, poorly controlled diabetes, urinary problems, IBS, breathing problems, gastric reflux, depression, and migraines. Other alleged orthopedic stuff they come in with? Rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis and other foot issues, carpal tunnel, even “bone-on-bone” hips and knees. “I am now almost 79, and I can lift more weight, walk more miles, sleep like a baby, and lead a busy life that was interrupted five years ago by pain so severe that neurosurgeons were advising immediate surgery. I definitely recommend him as a chiropractor, and you may find that you don’t need to see other doctors so often when you are in his care.” – Gay Luce, Corte Madera “I was facing a second back surgery. I decided to try Chiropractic with Dr. Harte instead. My leg and buttock pain of many years vanished. I continued in Dr. Harte’s Wellness program, to continually improve my health. After taking blood pressure medication for 13 years, I began to experience dizziness. It turned out that, through the adjustments to my spine, my pressure had returned to normal, so my medication was no longer necessary, and was now causing the dizziness. I stopped taking it, and my blood pressure is just fine.” --Janice Cobb, Corte Madera
Really want to cheat the orthopedist? Call me by Thursday, Aug. 7th, and you’ll get $523 off of the regular first day fees here. That means you’ll get an exam like you’ve never gotten anywhere, three kinds of neurological scans, X-rays, analysis and a full Report of Findings, for only $47. Yes, my Corte Madera office is open late, until 7. Call me today 460-6527. I’ve been helping people like you since 1981. – Dr. Don Harte (D.C.) PS: You CAN choose your own path. Continue to do whatever the orthopedist tells you? In the end, your future will be more surgery, more pain, more disability. OR… come to me, get THE most thorough evaluation and analysis that you’ve ever had. We will correct the Cause, through gentle chiropractic adjustments (Directional Non-Force Technique.). Expect the medically impossible to become possible. Expect your health to improve, across the board, as your nervous system is liberated, and your body is free to heal, from the Inside-out! PPS: Fair Trade Policy: You will know the total cost of care, up front. Ask me how this works.

When it comes to mountain biking, don’t forget about Crested Butte, Colorado.
Recognition due Dear Editor, I enjoyed your article on the new Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, in Fairfax ( July 1), and which I visited several weeks ago! Without taking anything away from the wonderful history of the sport in Marin, I feel some recognition should be given to the parallel development of mountain biking in Colorado. The mountain towns of Crested Butte and Gunnison teamed with eager and creative riders adapting Schwinn “paperboy” frames, in order to hit the trails. As a matter of fact, the Original Mountain Bike Hall of Fame was founded in 1988 by Carole Bauer, along with Tim Blewett and Dave Lindsay, IN Crested Butte, Colorado. In 1998, Carole left the Hall of Fame to Linda Hall and Kay and Don Cook, who maintained the Hall in Crested Butte; until they generously consented to the recent move to Fairfax. It would be proper to acknowledge Crested Butte as ONE of mountain biking’s birthplaces, and to credit it with founding the original Hall of Fame. Kind regards, —Laurie Fossier-Mills, Sausalito
A hero by any other name Julie Wainwright was recently called a “Zero” ( July 15) in the letters section by a Pacific Sun reader, whom I shall refer to as “Mr. Not-So.” This was after Ms. Wainwright was called a “Hero” by Nikki Silverstein in the July 8 Hero/Zero section of your newspaper. Ms. Wainwright was called a “Hero” for starting an online petition to gather signatures to change the name of the Waldo Tunnel to the Robin Williams
Tunnel in honor of the late actor/ comedian. Over 60,000 signatures later and now her dream is about to become a reality. Apparently, Mr. Not-So doesn't think Mr. Williams is deserving of such an honor and Ms. Wainwright was a “zero” for wasting her time and thinking otherwise. I totally disagree. First of all, Ms. Wainwright is following that great American tradition called petitioning whereas someone gathers signatures in order to change something. Normally, it is not an easy task. It takes time, determination, self-sacrifice, being able to take rejection, but most importantly it takes passion to follow through on something that you believe in so strongly that the rejection, time and self-sacrifice doesn't matter. Thanks to the Internet the job is made much easier but it still takes passion, believing in something and the commitment to follow through. If Robin were alive today I know he would encourage Ms. Wainwright to follow her passion and he would probably say, “You go, girl!” What gives me the right to speak of or for Robin Williams is the fact that I knew Robin since we were drama students together at the College of Marin. I was witness to his growth as an actor and can still remember his outstanding performances as Fagin in Oliver and as Malvolio in Twelfth Night. We would see each over the years and we worked together on Flubber. I was lucky enough to call him my friend. For Mr. Not-So to call Robin “wildly overrated” is the most misguided, narrowed-minded and sad thing I’ve ever read in the Pacific Sun. To say Robin isn’t deserving of anything because he hadn’t appeared in a decent movie since Good Will Hunting fails to acknowledge the fact that Robin was so much more than just an actor on screen. It is true that the parts offered to him in later years weren’t up to his talents and abilities but he can’t be blamed for the lack of quality material being offered to him. Nor can he be blamed for how a film turned out—he was an actor hired act and to follow the direction of the director. It should be noted that Robin never phoned in a roll— even when he was just a supporting player. Each time he stepped in front
Is it possible to be less than a Zero? If it is, Mr. Not-So is that individual. —Robert Cooper
05
Robin Williams plays therapist Sean Maguire for Matt Damon’s character in ‘Good Will Hunting.’
of the camera he gave a professional, solid and honest performance. What Mr. Not-So seems to have forgotten is the fact that what Robin did off the screen was just as important as what he did on screen. Whether it was helping a local theatre group, working on Broadway, offering encouragement to other actors and comedians or taking the time out from his busy schedule to acknowledge and say a few kind words to a young girl facing the horrors of cancer, Robin helped more people than Mr. Not-So could ever imagine. Over the years, Robin entertained thousands of American troops and I’m sure those soldiers would happily testify that Robin was NOT “overrated,” but greatly appreciated. If anything, Robin was underrated because anytime anyone tried to measure Robin’s talents or what he was capable of doing he was off the charts. Johnny Carson thought enough of Robin to invite him to be one of his final guests on his program. As a matter of fact, all the late night hosts had nothing but kind words for Robin when he passed away. Mr. Not-So’s critique of Robin’s work as “wildly overrated” has no grounds and Mr. Not-So is not qualified to judge another man’s life especially when that individual is no longer here to defend himself. The idea that Robin’s family, friends and fans still live in the area and [could] happen to read Mr. Not-So’s thoughtless venting is simply sad. What Mr. Not-So doesn’t understand is that being a hero isn’t something you label yourself. Mr. Not-So claims that when he had nothing better to do he felt a duty to help an old lady with her bags and that somehow makes him a better person than Ms. Wainwright. He is missing the point. Mr. Not-So claims he didn’t think his action was heroic but I’m sure in the eyes of the lady he helped, Mr. Not-So was a hero. Unfortunately, Mr. Not-So has diminished his own heroic act by his callous attack on Ms. Wainwright and Robin Williams.
My friend and I decided to come to visit and spend money in Sausalito last night. A special treat. A movie and dinner ... neither of us are wealthy; we are seniors, we work hard to make the money we earn and a night out in Sausalito was something that we were looking forward to. NOT SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we emerged from the movies—I RECEIVED A TICKET FOR $66! That is a lot of money for me to lay out after spending money and taxes towards the movies and dinner in Sausalito which was supposed to be a treat. We are both seniors, taking care of how we spend our money. I DO NOT HAVE $66 to throw away ... I would have done better to stay home! Unfamiliar with the parking signs that you have placed to deceive visitors to Sausalito—we parked where it said 7pm to 6am free parking in green. We, as humans, have become accustomed to looking to see if it is “safe” to park where the indications on the sign are GREEN—so therefore we were focusing on looking for a sign with green coloring that states hours that appear to be “safe” to park. Obviously both myself and my friend did not pay attention to the small red notice sneekily added at the top of the sign. At that time ... 7:51pm approximately … your meter maid was gleefully ticketing just about every car on the block—apparent that we were not alone in making that error. WOULDN'T THAT BE A KIND CONSIDERATION TO VISITORS TO SAUSALITO TO HAVE THE SIGNS SEPARATE?? SO THAT VISITORS TO SAUSALITO CAN OBSERVE THE RED SIGN IN MORE DETAIL ... and seek another place where it is safe to park ... UNLESS OF COURSE … THIS IS YOUR INTENTION AND YOU YOURSELVES GLEEFULLY ENJOY REAPING IN THE $$$$$$$$$$ MADE ON THOSE TICKETS EVERY EVENING. YOU WILL NOT FIND ME OR MY FRIEND BRINGING OUR DOLLARS DOWN TO SAUSALITO TO SPEND EVER AGAIN........ —Linda Wosskow

Upfront Warka Water
Graceful, sculptural Italian-designed fog catchers allow Ethiopian villagers to harvest water from fog.
Mist Opportunity Is the fog a source of drought relief ?
A
s California faces unprecedented drought, people are finding ways to conserve water. Some methods—installing graywater systems or water-efficient appliances—are expensive and labor-intensive.
Enter fog catchers, a low-impact, low-tech system that requires no pumps or electricity, is easy to set up and has minimal equipment requirements. For as little as $75 (or as much as $200), you can have your own fog catcher. Fog catchers have long been
By Ellen Shehadeh used in developing countries like Guatemala, Chile and Nepal, and are simple to construct. All that’s needed are netting, poles, a gutterlike device and barrels for collecting water. If you have space in your yard or are a farmer with lots of acreage,
you can set up a space-appropriate fog catcher. According to FogQuest (fogquest. org), a Canadian nonprofit that has built water-collection systems around the world, a fog catcher screen of 40 square meters can catch 200 liters of water a day. The nets are made of a meshlike polyethylene or polypropylene, and resemble an oversized tennis net whose efficiency depends on the spacing of the holes and the coating. According to FogQuest, there are no commercial sources for these screens in North America. But you don’t need to buy special screening, says Brock Dolman, co-founder of the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center and codirector of the WATER Institute’s permaculture design program there. Ordinary shade cloth, available at most nurseries, works fine. Whatever the type of screen material used, it must be cleaned and cared for to assure water purity. Tim Page, co-founder of F.E.E.D. (Farmers Exchange of Earthly Delights) Sonoma, says that fog catching “could make a lot of sense and might be a potentially viable solution” during this time of water scarcity. But he also observes that, as far as water goes, Sonoma County is in pretty good shape. Page says that foggy San Francisco, which depends on the Hetch Hetchy reservoir for its water, is a good candidate for fog catching. Dolman agrees. When he lectures to groups, he pushes people in San Francisco to put fog-catching devices on their roof gardens. There’s even room for highstyle fog catchers to catch on here. Leave it to the Italians to combine function and design in their fog catchers. Designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andreas Vogler have created graceful, sculptural fog catchers, some of them 30 feet tall, that allow Ethiopian villagers to harvest water from fog. Called Warka Water after the Ethiopian fig tree, the catchers are made with
locally sourced materials—bamboo, mainly. Closer to home, coastal redwood trees have utilized fog-catching methods for as long as they’ve been around. Biologist Todd Dawson of UC Berkeley has studied the fogcollection systems of redwoods and found they have special leaves that absorb fog-water into the tree. Water not absorbed recharges the groundwater. In 2014, Chris Fogliatti, a researcher interested in the molecular make-up of fog, set up a small-scale project in Tilden Regional Park in Berkeley. Three weeks later, he’d gathered two liters of water for every square inch of mesh in the fog catcher. Others are taking up the call—only to hit a fog-bank of bureaucracy. West Marin’s Richard Kirschman is an inventor, activist and developer, and says that he is scouting a suitable location for his fog-catching project.
’
Kirschman has consulted with the superintendent at Point Reyes National Seashore, to no avail. The vast parkland would seem an ideal location to gather some fog droplets—lots of open space and lots of fog—but Kirschman hasn’t been able to get past federal rules and regulations in place at Point Reyes that don’t allow for these sorts of projects. That’s too bad, since fog catchers in foggy parts of the world have proven to be a reliable source of water. On the high, fog-shrouded Atacama Desert of Chile, fog catchers are deployed to irrigate barren land so natives can grow crops. The Chilean fog catchers harvest enough water to operate a brewery called Atrapaniebla— which translates into “Fog Catcher.” Unfortunately, the amount of beer produced is limited to 6,000 gallons a year because of chronic water shortages in Chile. Lagunitas Foggy Lager, anyone?✹

▲ Was that Buster Posey in the Giants stands who caught a foul ball headed straight for a fan’s noggin? Nope. It was that equally talented 10-year-old San Anselmo kid who put it away and saved his distracted father from a heck of a headache. John Pizzi, Jr. wore his glove and was on alert at a San Francisco Giants game on Sunday afternoon when Brandon Crawford hit a fast-moving foul over the first base line. “It came. I stuck my glove out, caught it while my dad wasn’t looking,” said the modest Pizzi, Jr. Even the TV commentators were impressed, with one calling him “awesome.” We agree that we have an awesome hometown hero and we’re sure proud of him. Dad, you owe him one.

▼ We agree with activists Kerry Peirson of Mill Valley and Noah Griffin of Tiburon that the Dixie School District in San Rafael needs a name change. Some believe that the name refers to the Old South and the 11 Dixie states that seceded from the Union. Could be. The district was formally established on November 3, 1863, while the Civil War was raging. A school district official says it was named for a Mary Dixie, a Miwok descendant. Whatever the origin of the name, there’s no denying that the word Dixie brings up connotations of slavery, racism and the Confederacy. Similar efforts to change the name have failed in the past. It’s time for the school board members to take a stand to end the Dixie era.—Nikki Silverstein

The assumption was and continues to be that early and regular breast cancer screenings would detect cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage, and that more lives would be saved. According to the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer mortality has dropped by 35% since screening mammography became widespread in the mid-1980s. The NCI’s cancer statistics database (SEER) reports that the breast cancer death rate fell from 26.6 deaths per 100,000 women to 21.9 deaths per 100,000 women from 2000 to 2010 -- a decline of 18% (almost 2% per year). Recently, the yearly screening mammogram has again come into question by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a panel of independent experts who issue reports to the government regarding preventive care and evidence based medicine. In April, the USPSTF came out with revised recommendations for breast cancer screening. The panel based its recommendations on its conclusion that the benefit of mammography screening increases with age, benefitting women ages 50 to 74 the most. As a result, the new recommendations call for screening mammograms to start at 50, instead of at 40, and to be conducted every other year instead of annually. USPSTF also does not recommend that yearly screening mammograms begin automatically for women in their 40s, but instead that “the decision to start screening should be an informed, individual one, recognizing the potential benefits as well as the potential harms of mammography and based on a woman’s values, preferences, and health history.”
The task force also cited the incidence of false negative results, resulting in a cancer not being identified, and false positive results, resulting in overdiagnosis and overtreatment and accompanying psychological distress to the woman. In 2009, when USPSTF first made these same recommendations, all major breast health organizations—American College of Radiology, the American Cancer Society, the American College of Surgeons—came forward and spoke out against them. Consequently, the recommendations were disregarded. An amendment to include coverage for annual screening mammograms was added to the Affordable Care Act. Letters registering opposition to the revised recommendations have been sent to President Obama by the American College of Radiology, and to the Department of Health and Human Services by members of Congress. Across the country, breast cancer professionals have given their feedback to the USPSTF including the breast cancer team at Marin General Hospital. In our letter, we said: Adoption of USPSTF breast cancer screening recommendations would result in thousands of additional and unnecessary breast cancer deaths each year. If women ages 40-49 go unscreened and those 50-74 are screened biennially, approximately 6,500 additional women would die each year in the U.S. The USPSTF guidelines deprive women of their right to choose when or if to be screened for breast cancer. The new recommendations may mean that insurance companies will no longer be required to offer screening mammography without a copay, which was previously guaranteed by the Affordable Care Act. Estimates say 17 million women could lose insurance coverage
for mammography, saving corporations money, but at what price? Women deserve the freedom to consider the risks and benefits of mammographic screening in consultation with their doctors. The USPSTF guidance should include a discussion of the benefits of reduced morbidity as a result of the detection and treatment of earlier stage disease. Earlier detection of breast cancer allows women more treatment options, reduced surgeries, better cosmetic outcomes, and may eliminate the need for chemotherapy. The current USPSTF report overstates the potential harms of annual mammography. The potential for false positives is inherent in any screening process. Past research shows, and our experience supports, that the majority of women who experience a false-positive exam support screening and feel that the benefits far outweigh this risk. Reducing access to screening should not be used as a method to decrease these presumed potential harms. USPSTF recommendations are currently in draft form, but will come out in final form soon. We hope that they will revise these recommendations based on input from us and others. Bottom line, to preserve women’s access to routine mammography, we believe the USPSTF should revise their recommendations to allow coverage for annual screening mammography beginning at the age of 40. Given these reports, my colleagues and I know that women will have questions and concerns about breast cancer screening in the future. We invite you to study this issue carefully, consult with your physician, and together plan the breast cancer prevention strategy that is right for you.

Have you tried the delicious “Fish on a Rock?”
Off the eaten path Eyeballs: They’re what’s for dinner
W
hen it comes to putting together our annual food and wine issue, we often look to the bounty of local farms, ranches and vineyards for inspiration. And they are inspiring. But this time around we decided to look
off the beaten path for foods and food experiences that range from the esoteric to the straight-up bizarre. So instead of farm-to-table, think far out–to-table. —Stett Holbrook
The Eye of the Fish I had to eat that fish eyeball. I just had to. Let me explain. I came up with a recipe years ago that’s proven to be a real hit, though it’s a challenging recipe to do on California’s beaches. “Fish on a Rock” is the recipe, and it’s simple: Catch a fish and gut it. Do not remove the skin, or the head. Start a fire on the beach and place a big, flat rock on top of the
fire. Wait for the rock to heat up, put the fish on top of the rock and cook the fish in the salty breeze as you do a sun dance or whatever. Take a moment to enjoy your surroundings, and squeeze a lemon if one’s handy. Eat the fish as you commune with your inner Survivorman. Eat the whole damn fish. One time, I was out on the beach cooking up a big porgy on a rock. Porgies are a kind of sea perch,
Call of the Wild In Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, she and her family commit to eating only what they can grow and source locally. Given their homestead in southern Appalachia, that means going without many warmer weather crops. To make it a bit easier, they each get to choose one food from afar they can’t do without—coffee, bananas, pineapple . . . If it were me, I’d have a hard time choosing my one imported food. I love avocados. And chocolate. And coffee. But if push came to shove, and peak oil peaked out sooner than predicted and cargo ships and trucks could no longer make it here, I think I’d be OK. Kevin Swift clued me into a local source for those foods, or at least an approximation of them: the California bay laurel tree. Swift lives in Occidental and is a wild-food forager with a fondness for the aromatic and ubiquitous bay laurel. The leaves are good for seasoning pasta sauce, and the seeds are an underappreciated source of food, one used by local Pomo and Miwok indians for millennia.
It takes a bit of work and proper timing, but it’s possible to make “chocolate” and “coffee” from the pods. The trees are related to the avocado, so it’s even possible to make an analogue of guacamole from the seed husks. And like chocolate and coffee, food from bay trees packs a caffeine-like buzz. The time to gather the seeds is about four to six weeks from now. You want them when they start to fall to the ground. Bay seeds are about as big as marbles and quickly turn from green, to yellow, to purple and to black mush. You want them in the purple stage. “They are very ephemeral,” says Swift. Once you find a suitable source, remove the flesh to expose the shell. Raw, the nuts are exceedingly astringent. But roasted for 20 to 30 minutes at 250 or 300 degrees and then shelled, they lose their bite and go from nutty to chocolate-y to coffee-y. Grind them up with a little sugar and milk, and you’ve got homegrown, homemade chocolate. But be careful how much you eat. “It definitely has a buzz in it,” Swift says.
Heidi Herrmann, co-owner of Strong Arm Farm, is a commercial seaweed harvester.
Coffee is trickier because the nuts are so fatty and oily, but devotées say you can put the ground nuts in a French press and brew as you would a good Ethiopian yirgacheffe. The bay nut can be pickled, too. Last month, Swift pickled a batch of nuts in their immature green stage. They turn out like cocktail onions, he says—cocktail onions with a coffee-like buzz. Swift says he prefers taking to the woods than going to the grocery store for food. “I’d rather look for what’s around me,” he says. “There’s so much deliciousness in our backyards. We just don’t look for it.” —Stett Holbrook

wicked popular in the AfricanAmerican community on the East Coast (“Fry it hard!”). These little scrappers are hella fun to catch— they’re in the same fish family as seabreams. Problem is, California beaches just don’t have the variety of rocks you find in Montauk, N.Y., the mother country out on Long Island’s East End. That’s a land carved out of departing glaciers, and as such, there’s wild variety of stones of various shapes and sizes that were left behind. So says Walt Whitman: “Even to my unscientific eyes there were innumerable wonders and beauties all along the shore, and edges of the cliffs. There were earths of all colors, and stones of every conceivable shape, hue, and destiny . . .” Alas, Fish on a Rock may not work here—we’ve got crumbly sandstone, volcanic rocks, not much else on our beaches, at least insofar as I’ve experienced them. Fish on a Surf board won’t work, and anyway, for the most part, you’re not supposed to be lighting a fire on the beach. I suggest you tote an iron skillet to the beach to compensate for the lack of stones. Picture this. It was a fine latesummer afternoon, the porgy was roasting on a rock, and the porgy eyeballs started to bulge as the white fish-flesh sizzled. The eyeballs started to speak to me, like that freaky mounted fish from The Sopranos. They demanded that I eat them! It was a craving such as one might have for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, but this wasn’t no Phish Food. I fashioned some chopsticks from beach reeds and kept staring at that eyeball, flipped the fish over and stared at the other. It was eyeballing me! I ate the fish fillets, carved out the cheeks—and then moved on to the eyeballs. They weren’t bad; in fact they were quite tasty: salty, squishy, heavy with a fish-fat fishiness—and the trick, I’ve learned, is to let the eyeball linger on the tongue before it slithers down yon gullet. The idea is that you want to extract the micro-burst of fish-fat flavor. If that triggers your inner ewww, I suggest you think happy thoughts about oysters and other enjoyably slippery things. Activate your inner Anthony Bourdain, close your eyes, and go for it.—Tom Gogola

These days, the goji berry is touted as a superfood.
Off the eaten path «10 profitable as well. She doesn’t even have to grow this one, because it’s seaweed. Herrmann, who teaches sustainable agriculture at Santa Rosa Junior College, is a commercial seaweed harvester on the side. About 10 times a year, when the tide is particularly low, she dons rain boots and an external frame backpack and picks her way across the rocky reefs north of Jenner in search of nori, kombu, wakame and a few other species of seaweed. After hauling the sea vegetables up from the shore, she rinses and dries the seaweed and bags it up. The kombu adds a rich, umami flavor to soups and stews. Wakame is great toasted and eaten by itself or added to salads and soups. Nori, the seaweed used to wrap sushi, is best toasted and crumbled over salads and vegetables. Given the demand, Herrmann could harvest more, but she wants to keep her operation small. Keeping the business small keeps it fun, she says. She doesn’t surf or fish, so gathering seaweed gives her
a connection to the ocean. “Many people have done this before,” she says. “It feels part of a continuum.” Herrmann enjoys gathering an ancient food that requires a degree of risk and more than a little hard work. She gathers about 250 pounds of wet seaweed on each outing. “You’ve got to lug it out. There are dangers. It’s slippery. There are urchins. I like that it’s not easy.” And unlike farming, there’s no weeding or planting required. “I let the ocean do the work.” —Stett Holbrook Herrmann is leading a sunrise seaweed-gathering outing with Forage SF on Aug. 1 that includes a presentation and meal featuring local seaweed at the Jenner Inn the night before. Go to foragesf.com/seaweedforaging for more information.
Berry Good The goji berry tree became known across the Pacific Rim thousands of years ago for its nutritional value and sweet taste. Asian immigrants first brought the hearty shrub, Lycium barbarum, to California 200 years ago. These days, the goji berry is touted as a superfood, and now Goji Farm USA is growing the plants in Sonoma County. “There’s no aspect of this plant that isn’t highly nutritious,” says founder and CEO Tibor Fischl. The Santa Rosa resident and outdoor enthusiast, who, among his other credits, co-invented the world’s first full-suspension mountain bike
“
20 years ago, has moved into food production with the same focused attitude. Goji Farm USA produces a beverage called Goji Phyto-Brew from berries and seeds that are roasted, ground and brewed as an organic tea. “With the roasting and milling, we got so much more of a concentrated impact of the gojis than anything else we could do,” says Fischl. For the past three years, Fischl has sourced his berries from organic farmers around the country. More recently, Fischl teamed up with Jay Jensen at NovaVine, a familyrun propagation farm in the hills just east of Santa Rosa. The farm specializes in growing grape-vine stock, for wineries, and now goji berries. The current goji crop of 550 “mother plants” is predicted to top a quarter of a million within a few years. Available in the North Bay at retailers like Whole Foods and Pacific Market for about $4, the slightly tart and earthy tea is refreshing and has a mildly uplifting effect. Unlike caffeinated or sugary beverages, the anti-oxidant and vitamin-rich drink offers a natural alternative to powering through the day. The tea is reportedly high in “oxygen radical absorbance capacity” and is touted as a way to combat free radicals, which cause aging and illness. The tea is also very high in folic acid and vitamin B6, two key nutrients. “But the biggest test of the beverage is how you feel when you down one of these bottles,” says Fischl. The roasted quality of the tea, best consumed chilled, offers a complex natural berry flavor. “It’s a really rich beverage, almost like a goji espresso,” says Fischl. Goji Farm’s next harvest is set for this fall, and to celebrate, they are throwing a harvest party on Oct. 9. For more information, go to GojiFarmUSA.com. —Charlie Swanson

Scavenged Chasing morels poetry Kevin Sadlier on year-round foraging FOOD & DRINK
By Tanya Henry
‘E
veryone has that huntergatherer instinct,” says Kevin Sadlier, who has been foraging for wild mushrooms for nearly 20 years. But before he began chasing morels, Sadlier was a chef at the Pier House Restaurant in Key West, Florida in the ’80s. Sadlier then moved to California and began managing Sloat Garden Center in San Francisco. Eventually, he decided that he wanted to open his own nursery and earn a better living. In 1997 he moved to Marin and opened Green Jeans Garden Supply on Redwood Highway in Mill Valley. Eighteen years later, Sadlier and his wife Xander Wessells run the business and employ between 6 and 10 people. It’s obvious from Sadlier’s inviting and beautifully designed roadside nursery that he’s committed to his work. But get him talking about mushrooms, and it’s clear that that is where his heart is. “I pick year-round,” says the enthusiastic forager, who will travel to Colorado in August during monsoon season and search for porcinis, Idaho and Montana in the spring for morels and Oregon in September and October for matsutakes, lion’s mane, porcinis and golden, blue and white chanterelles. From late fall to spring, Sadlier stays closer to home (the Sierras), and almost all of his carefully planned hunts take place on privately owned land where property owners allow him access.
“Foraging used to be elitist—kind of like golf,” he says, acknowledging that it has become much more mainstream. But it’s not just the hunt that offers the thrill for Sadlier—it’s the entire process. He does his research, studies maps, interprets the environment (weather, trees, rain, fire, etc.) and then sets out. Sadlier, who sells his fungi at his nursery, prides himself on cleaning the mushrooms that he finds in the field. He uses an Italian-made mushroom knife to clean the dirt off and carries the mushrooms in paper or cloth bags to allow them to breathe. He picks as many as he can find (generally between 30 and 40 pounds), leaving none behind. “I’m greedy,” he says. “If someone wants the same mushrooms I find, they should get there before me.” Over the years, Sadlier has developed relationships with select local chefs—Bruce Hill and Jared Rogers from Picco and Molina’s Todd Shoberg—who look to him for his fresh hauls of porcinis, morels and chanterelles. Don’t be surprised if the next wild mushrooms enjoyed at a favorite local restaurant were expertly foraged, cleaned, transported for miles and delivered to the chef by none other than Kevin Sadlier.✹ When Sadlier is not foraging for culinary mushrooms, he can be found at Green Jeans Garden Supply, 690 Redwood Highway, Mill Valley; 415/3898333; greenjeansgardensupply.com.
The truth about second-crop grapes By James Knight
P
art of the lure of home winemaking has always been getting some wine on the cheap. And as long as you don’t charge for your own time, there’s nothing cheaper than picking free grapes. Traditionally, the home winemaker’s standby was “second crop” grapes. Most grapevines produce two clusters at the base of each new shoot. After these have been picked and trucked off to the winery, however, vigorous vines are free to plump up a secondary crop of tiny clusters farther on down the shoot. They may be just a few berries each, and it can take hours to glean enough for a few gallons of wine. “In my experience, Zinfandel and Charbono are the best for second crop,” says Vince Tofanelli, who grows some of the last such “heritage” varieties in the Calistoga area. “Given a long growing season, those little bunches can make for a very nice table wine.” But don’t go knocking on Tofanelli’s door. His son-in-law has dibs on the second crop—and even then, he has to share with an Italian family that’s been gleaning the vineyard for the past 35 years. “Second crop is probably not as big a deal as it was 30 years ago,” says Nancy Vineyard (yes, that’s her name), co-owner of Santa Rosa’s
fermentation outfitter The Beverage People. Time was, Vineyard says, when home winemakers just waited until after harvest and then moved in to pick it. “But that has completely changed.” Diligent growers are trimming excess crop to enhance the quality of the first crop. Many home winemakers are now farming their own hobby vineyards and selling excess crop to others. The Beverage People keeps a binder of free listings, with grapes mostly offered at market price, from $1 to $4 per pound. The price tends to drop as it gets closer to harvest time. Vineyard pays at least $2 a pound for Pinot Noir from a grower down the road to make what she calls “end of the road Pinot.” That’s a lot of cash to make a barrel of wine, which takes more than 700 pounds of grapes to fill. But it’s still under $5 a bottle. “And this is the stuff that you buy for $40 or $50 a bottle,” Vineyard says. “This isn’t Charles Shaw.” If you can’t find grapes, the North Bay provides plenty of free harvest opportunities for making blackberry wine—providing that time is no constraint. “People who want to pick blackberries are very committed,” Vineyard says.✹ The Beverage People, 1845 Piner Road, #D, Santa Rosa; 707/544-2520; thebeveragepeople.com.

The nostalgia of food Novato’s Super Fresh Food Art Gallery brings back memories of eating By Molly Oleson

scuba diving inside wine glasses. On top of running the gallery, Jennifer, a chef, cookbook author and food stylist, styles the food for her husband’s photos. “He’ll say, ‘I need a cake that looks like an ocean,’” she says with a laugh. “Or, ‘I need a popsicle that looks like a 6.’” The two artists, who have collaborated on numerous books together and have “always been interested in the food world,” merged their interests to create the gallery, which was located on Grant Avenue in downtown Novato until a three-year lease ran out in April. A love of campers, and an idea to move the artwork more into the virtual world, led to the small version of Super Fresh—which gets its name from something that’s “really cool.” “The art is super, and it’s all fresh and it’s food, and it’s something totally different and new,” Jennifer says. In addition to Matthew’s work, the art of around 10 artists, all with
“because my husband—a lot of his work is based on nostalgia—what we remember. So a lot of his work has to do with fast food, junk food, sugar—all that stuff. Because it’s your comfort; because if that’s how you grew up, that’s what you remember, right?” It’s entertaining for Jennifer to see what foods her artists are drawn to, and what foods viewers flock to. “People have all these different feelings about food,” she says. “The little white squiggle on the chocolate frosting [of a Hostess cupcake]—everybody knows that. And so I think most of our clients buy art for the nostalgia of it—of what’s in the art.” The mission of Super Fresh Food Art Gallery has always been to inspire people, Jennifer says. “I think we’ve definitely met our goal. We like talking to people and saying, ‘What would you like to do if you could do anything?’” When they tell her, she encourages them to do it. “And I think with this,” she says, pointing to the mini gallery at her “carnival-like home,” “This is so crazy to park a sparkly blue camper on your front yard. I just think, if that doesn’t inspire people to just do something crazy, then we’ve got it all wrong!” “There are many versions of your own dream,” she says. “I feel like you can create something out of anything.”✹ Text Jennifer at 415/377-7212 to stop by the gallery, or visit superfreshgallery. com.

ou’re tall—watch your head,” warns Jennifer Carden, as she leads me into the tiny Aristocrat camper that’s parked on her front lawn in Novato, and which has been gutted, renovated, painted a sparkly bluish-green with a tangerine-colored door and dubbed “Teal Thunder.” Inside, small works of art—all food-themed—line the clean white walls. “We’re calling it a mini gallery,” Carden says proudly of the space, which is the new home of Super Fresh Food Art Gallery—known as the world’s first contemporary art gallery dedicated to art about food. Carden, director of the gallery, co-owns the successful business with her husband, Matthew Carden—well-known for his photographs that combine food with popular culture to create images of small figurines floating on seas made of cake frosting, hiking across giant strawberries or
different styles and perspectives on food, is represented. There are pastel-colored paintings of desserts by Pat Doherty, detailed drawings by Beverly Shipko of half-eaten Oreos and vibrant mosaics of Twinkies by Jim Bachor. “We want stuff that’s really pop-y,” Jennifer says, noting that she’s in the process of adding more artists and expanding the business to include “satellite galleries” at places like winery tasting rooms in Sonoma. Art about food prompts conversations about food culture. “It depends on what age you are, but like my generation—we grew up with a lot of junk food, and a lot of fast food,” Jennifer says. “It wasn’t a big deal to have a box of Slim Jims and a box of Ho Hos in your house.” Now, she says, living down the street from a grocery store that only carries food produced within a 30-mile radius, those habits are not so common. “There’s a lot of judgment around food,” she says of living near the California coast, after growing up in upstate New York. “And so I think it’s really fun that I can have artists who can make a mosaic and a painting and a photograph of a Twinkie, and it’s OK, you know?! You can put that on your wall. If you want to judge me for having a Twinkie on my wall, fine!” she says, in between giggles. “Go ahead! But that’s what I ate growing up, you know?” The food-themed art also stirs up memories of eating the food, and a specific time and place. “It’s interesting,” Jennifer continues,
A detail of the work of Cara Brown.
After we finish this tour I’m going straight into the studio to work on the next album. So I am excited about that. Putting out new music and writing songs, experimenting with ideas in the studio and seeing how we can come up with a different sound than the last record, and keep things exciting. I’m looking forward to that.

Ziggy Marley says that his ‘main message is love.’
MUSIC
Ziggy Marley speaks The second most famous name in reggae comes to the North Bay By Haley Bollinger
R
eggae star Ziggy Marley plays the Sonoma Mountain Village Event Center in Rohnert Park on Aug. 12, with Steel Pulse opening, as part of his Fly Rasta Tour. We spoke with him about the tour, his music, organic food, love and ganja.
What are you looking forward to about your North Bay show? I’m very excited about coming up to your spot there, you know. I like playing music and spreading this message that we have to spread, and hopefully inspiring some people. I’m always happy about doing that.
What is your favorite part of touring? Playing the music and meeting different people and seeing different parts of the country and the world. I really enjoy that.
How did it feel to win the Grammy this last year for best reggae album? It felt good, but that is not the purpose [of my music]. But it was nice.
What messages are you trying to convey through your music? My main message is love, and that is the most important message the world needs, you know, so I want and hope when people come they leave with more love and spread that love all around—spread that love to other people and keep it spreading until one day there will be so much love in the world that there is no way that war and hate or violence can take hold. That’s the objective to spread love, you know.
I like food. I like cooking. I make breakfast and dinner for the kids. It turned into an extension of who I am, but also it gives me a chance to talk about health, nutrition and that we should eat properly and be aware of what we are putting into our bodies, especially since a lot of the processed food in America is manufactured and manipulated and has been genetically modified. We should be aware of these things, and this is a platform to talk about that and make people be aware. Food does affect us. Food affects the world.
How do you feel about the legalization of marijuana? It’s going in the right direction and it’s a positive thing for society. Obviously, there’s the medical value of it, which helps everybody, and then there is the recreational value of it, which can help people, too. Being conscious of its use and educating people about it and educating children and making sure that it is used in a proper way and not abused. Even though we support it, we still have to be conscious that if not used properly it can be destructive, just like anything else. ✹ Ziggy Marley and Steel Pulse play Sonoma Mountain Village on Aug. 12; 1400 Valley House Drive; Rohnert Park; 7:30pm; $43.50; $73.50; somoconcerts.com.

A bug’s life Paul Rudd takes on the smallest role of his career in ‘Ant-Man’ By Richard von Busack
I
n Ant-Man, set in San Francisco, scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) must keep the shrinking suit he invented back in the ’60s, which he believes is too dangerous, out of the hands of his former employers, S.H.I.E.L.D. When Pym discovers that S.H.I.E.L.D. is duplicating experiments on the “Pym particle” formula, he hires burglar Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), just released from San Quentin, to steal the new iteration of the ant-suit. Called the “Yellowjacket,” a bee-size carapace equipped with tiny lasers, the rival suit is the perfect instrument for surveillance and assassination. It will take a village of ants, led telepathically by a pea-size hero, to steal back this terrible weapon. Ant-Man has to negotiate a narrow path between honoring superhero conventions and avoiding clichés. And for the most part, it delivers what was promised, as well as a few surprises: a fall through the cracks in the floors of a Tenderloin tenement; an itty-bitty fight atop
a speeding toy train; and a journey deep into the heart of matter itself, featuring psychedelic chrome doodads that pop out of the ether in 3-D. Director Peyton Reed sets up the movie as the story of a parallel set of fathers levered into action by their daughters. Lang has to turn to crime to pay child support for an adorable daughter with two front teeth missing; Pym quarrels with his restless 30-something offspring, Hope (Evangeline Lilly). She’s bitter, with the full wrath of a would-be superheroine whose father won’t let her wear the amazing ant-suit. There are multiple in-jokes tying this film into the entire Marvel Studios roster. Hearing of the villain’s plot, Lang says, “I think our first task is to call the Avengers!” When one of his pet ants is killed, Lang threatens the villain with a wee fist: “You’re going to regret this!” This movie about shrinkage has a nice sense of proportion.✹

The band Ozomatli will headline the Far West Fest on Saturday, July 25 in Point Reyes Station. Now celebrating 10 years and consistently voted the Best Music Festival in Marin, the Far West Fest, happening on Saturday, July 25 at Love Field in Point Reyes Station, is one of Marin’s most popular summer events. This year, the festival’s exciting musical lineup is spread out over four stages and features a blend of hip-shaking rock bands and toe-tapping folk songwriters. Popular partiers Ozomatli headline the Far West Fest this year, bringing their sunny jams and multi-cultural chops to Love Field. Now in their 16th year together, the Los Angeles ensemble is still thriving on stages around the country with a lively mix of world music rhythms and dynamic Latin vibes. Other performers at Far West Fest include San Francisco psychedelic soul men Monophonics, Petaluma roots rockers Highway Poets, Point Reyes alternative orchestra El Radio Fantastique, songwriter Kyle Martin and other eclectic acts. In addition to several stages of music, there will be a wandering circus roaming the grounds, a kid’s zone with fun activities, delicious and sustainable food vendors and local wine and beer to fuel the fun. As in past years, the good times go to the greater good—proceeds from the fest go directly towards local community organizations like food banks and youth centers. Early bird tickets are already sold out, but general admission passes and overnight camping passes are still available.—Charlie Swanson Far West Fest, Saturday, July 25, Love Field, 11191 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Point Reyes Station; 10am; $35-$45.

Q:
Goddess
I was engaged to a woman 20 years ago. We were in college and in our mid-20s. I realized that I wasn’t ready to get married and called off the engagement. I loved her and wanted to stay with her, but she broke off the relationship. I’ve had relationships since then, but I still regret not marrying her. She’s married now, and I shouldn’t even be thinking about her so many years later, but I can’t seem to shake the loss of her. How do I get her—and, moreover, the regret—out of my head?—Stuck
A:
The reality is, you’re the envy of a number of people—like those who ran up $80,000 in legal fees battling for joint custody of the suede sectional and are now working as a manservant for their divorce lawyer while living in a tent in his backyard. You’ve got a bad case of the “coulda shouldas,” which, in psychology, is called “counterfactual thinking,” as in thinking “counter” to the actual “facts” of what happened. It’s basically a mental redo of the past—imagining what could have been. There’s healthy counterfactual thinking—using how things turned out as a reminder to act differently in the future. Also healthy is recognizing that things could have turned out worse, like with all the divorcey fun above, plus having to borrow your kids like library books on alternate weekends. The unhealthy kind of counterfactual thinking is what you’re doing—setting aside the now to obsess over how great things surely would have been, “if only … ” Never mind how pointless this is, considering that the closest thing you own to a working time machine is probably a battery-operated cuckoo clock that your grandma gave you. And never mind how this woman is forever 24 in your head—preserved like a bug in amber at the peak of her hotitude—and never does things those pesky real women do, like nagging you to fix that broken thingie until your head is about to explode all over the kitchen wallpaper. You can get out of Regretsville. You just need to have a funeral for your relationship. And yes, I know this sounds like a ridiculously hokey stunt, but more and more, researchers are finding that the physical is tied to the psychological— like that physical acts of “closure” lead to psychological closure and that treating thoughts as physical objects makes them as disposable as objects. In a study by psychologist Pablo Brinol, participants who wrote down troubling thoughts and then ripped them up were found to have “mentally discarded them” and actually experienced relief. Following their lead, put this behind you psychologically by doing it physically: Write down what happened. Burn the paper in a dish. Maybe do a little ceremony. And then scatter the ashes as you would those from Fluffy’s urn. And, finally, have a little compassion for yourself. OK, so it’s best not to follow up, “Will you marry me?” with “Uh … take-back!” But you were young and probably immature, and you realized that you’d gotten yourself in over your head. And to your credit, you had the guts to admit that you weren’t ready, unlike all the people who come to the realization that they aren’t, but go through with the wedding anyway. (“Who’ll join me in a toast to ‘miserably ever after?!’”)
Q:
A good male friend (going back 20 years) is a great guy—fiercely ethical and very kind—and is irate about the jerks I’ve been out with recently. He has two guy friends he thinks I’d like. Is it safe to assume that they’ll be cool/respectful because this is coming through our mutual friend? (I figure it can’t be worse than truly blind dating online.)—Jerk Magnet
A:
A friend who cares about you wouldn’t knowingly put you together with jerks—which would be like recommending a prospective tenant to his landlord with, “He just wants a quiet, safe place … ” and neglecting to mention “… where he can pursue his hobby of balcony chicken farming.” And the good news is that a good guy is likely to have friends “of a feather.” Studies by psychologist J. Philippe Rushton suggest that we have a genetically driven preference for both mates and friends who are similar to us—especially in age, ethnicity and educational level, but also in opinions and attitudes. So, if this guy likes and respects women, there’s a good chance that his friends do, too. But a “good chance” is not the same thing as an “ironclad guarantee.” In other words, go in with your eyes wide open, because it’s still largely a gamble; it’s just less likely that your friend will be all, “Found the perfect guy for you. We all call him ‘B’—because it’s easier than saying ‘Beelzebub.’”✹ Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at pacificsun.com
Sign?
By Leona Moon
For the week of July 22
Aries
(March 21 - April 19) Leave your hair how it is, Aries! Venus goes retrograde on July 25 until Sept. 6— leaving you with a block of time when you’ll have to suffer through those split ends and stray grays. It’ll also be a good time to reflect on your spending pattern, as Venus rules all things luxury.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Sign
on the dotted line, Taurus! If you’re about to cut a deal with a company you’ve been working on a project-byproject basis with for many years, make sure to cross your T’s and dot your I’s on July 22. The sun and Saturn are teaming up to guarantee that you and your John Hancock get the best deal possible.
Gemini
(May 21 - June 20) Romance is in the air, Gemini! It certainly isn’t on your Tinder app. Take a short vacation on July 25—driving 100 miles down the coast might do the trick. A new area code is just what you need to meet the perfect stranger at a diner—one who digs your corny jokes, or to get a change in scenery in your Tinder app’s 50-mile radius.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Trying to make a move, Cancer? Sure, the new moon in your sign last week had you contemplating every aspect of your life, but we’re talking about that waterfront property, complete with a water trampoline and wine cellar. Whatever deals you may be involved in when it comes to refinancing, selling or renting out your space, you’re going to have to resume at a later date—like in October.
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) Put the box down and back away from the ring, Leo! Venus is retrograde as of July 25, which means that it’s not time to get engaged. If you’re thinking of popping the question to your beloved, think again—otherwise you’ll have to deal with a big, fat, awkward “No.” Your luxurious side will have to go into hibernation for a while. Think Netflix and pajamas.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Get out
your calendar, Virgo! It’s time to plan a date with your beloved. Love has been on the back burner and it’s time to throw a little surprise your significant other’s way. We’re not talking an “I love you”-in-the-sky kind of surprise—at this point, bringing him or her a cup of coffee in the morning might wake up the butterflies in his or her stomach.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) It’s
time to reflect, Libra! Venus, your guardian planet, goes retrograde on July 25, which might make you feel like you’re stuck in a rut or that any personal growth may feel impossible. But, moreover, now’s the time to deeply examine your life and prepare to make some big decisions—like where you want to vacation in 2016, or what Netflix show to binge-watch next.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
Money in the bank, Scorpio! Mercury and Saturn are the duo you can thank for all of the extra green showing up in your bank account. Expect an extra check or accidental deposit into your account on July 22. It couldn’t come at a better time—remember how much you owe your BFF for betting against the Warriors in the championship? Pay up!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 -
Dec. 21) We know you love to party, Sagittarius, but now is not the time! Get-togethers are fine, but all-night ragers might land you or a beloved behind locked doors at the Marin County Jail. Venus goes retrograde on July 25, taking with it your flare for all things luxury. A cheese platter and bottle of red will do the trick to entertain your friends—you don’t need a bouncy house, slip ’n’ slide and a DJ.
Capricorn
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) Do you hear that sound, Capricorn? What started as a slow clap turned into a rally. Your boss hasn’t been doing his job lately and your co-workers need a leader, so step up to the plate. Give a motivational speech on July 22.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) If
you want a VIP’s approval, get it now, Aquarius! Time is ticking until Uranus, the planet of surprise, goes retrograde on July 26. Get your ducks in a line, be bold and ask for what you really want. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck in limbo until early 2016. Make a list, check it twice and hand it over to your boss.
Pisces
(Feb. 19 - March 20) Really impressed with Kylie Jenner’s lips, Pisces? The plump-lip trend might not be going anywhere, but it’s not time to jump on board that ship. Plastic surgery is not in the cards for you until after the first week of October. Admire from a distance—unless you want to end up looking like Charro.Y
