The principle of law
Thank you for publishing my lengthy letter last week [“‘We Hold These Truths to Be Self Evident’—Thomas Jefferson,” July 4] and for quoting it in full except for the omission of two crucial sentences. Those sentences were: “Locally in Marin, many citizens are empowering themselves once again to make sure that so-called representative government is truly representative. The Wincup disaster was a wake-up call for thousands of Marinites.” This statement shows the parallels between lack of citizen representation on the issue of high-density housing as well as on the issue of so-called immigration reform. In both contexts many of our leaders today consistently fail to represent us. Nationwide, 62 percent of Americans oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants. Thousands of Marinites oppose the manipulations of ABAG and Plan Bay Area to redesign our communities while ignoring our wishes.

Your “Editor’s Note” regarding Thomas Jefferson really missed my main point. I agree with everything you said about the racist thinking found in Jefferson’s personal beliefs. I was already well aware of his racism. My main point was that Jefferson and the Founding Fathers set our country up to be governed by the principle of law, not by the pressures of monarchy, power-hungry individuals or corporate greed. Why do we have over 11 million illegal immigrants in the country today? Primarily because America’s big corporations, starting with agribusiness in the 1970s, want an endless supply of cheap labor. And because these corporations have successfully bribed our Congress with campaign contributions for decades to allow this abuse to reach the crisis point that is happening on our southern border today. While both political parties are responsible for this, the “liberal” Democrats encourage illegal immigration explicitly. In 2007, Robert Creamer wrote in his book, Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win, “... the immigration battle is also important because it will have an enormous impact on the battle for power between the progressive and conservative forces in American society. As of 2007, there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. If they are placed on an earned pathway to citizenship through immigration reform, they will be eligible for citizenship and voting rights by 2012 and 2016.”
Robert Creamer is a very well-known and well-connected national, political consultant with a long list of endorsements from so-called “liberal� or “progressive� voices. They all know that these new voters will vote Democratic overwhelmingly. Creamer’s position on immigration “reform� is one of bold, in-your-face corruption, abandonment of the principle of law, and a blatant abuse of America’s immigration system. Today’s Democratic leaders know that they are perpetuating this scheme. This is what I was driving at when I said: “I am a Jeffersonian liberal, and not a Nancy Pelosi liberal or a Barack Obama liberal.� Your commentary assumes that anyone opposed to illegal immigration must be a racist. I reject Jefferson’s racism. But he was right about the principle of law.

Editor’s note: Good points, Kenneth. Let me just say this: Our Founding Fathers and their forebears immigrated to America outside any “principles of law.� And if modern immigrants do the same, and become legal citizens, earning a right to vote—I’m not seeing why this is a bad or corrupt thing. To suggest, however, that a legitimate reason for opposing their path to citizenship is because they may not vote the way you like seems far more distasteful than Creamer’s “position� on immigration.
Transportation Program while most schools have eliminated buses. Yes, those big yellow things that deliver children safely to and from schools across the nation, which our counties no longer fund. This forces kids to walk or ride their bikes through traffic to get to school. But even if you like the idea of Safe Routes to Schools, has it never occurred to you that once you have established a safe route the program should end? Then you regurgitate that there is a 172 percent increase in weekend bike use on these routes, but do not bother to ask how many people use these routes. A 176 percent increase from 1 would average 3.5 people. Clearly Deb [Hubsmith] must have fallen off her bike and hit her head because she believes in global warming. Excuse me for pointing out the obvious, that there is no such thing as global warming, that’s why we have to call it “climate change.� So next time Deb stops to pat herself on the back for making a career out of wasting taxpayer money, perhaps she can ponder how many kids need to wear helmets on a bus. Children should ride bikes for fun, not because they have no way to get to school.

A clean sweep
Drakes Bay Oyster Co. to close later this month “Unfair and unjust.” “So wrong on so many levels.” “A travesty.” “A huge loss to the community.” These were some of the phrases used in Facebook messages by friends of Drakes Bay Oyster Company in response to a “BAD NEWS” announcement on July 10 that the Point Reyes Oyster Company will be closing their shack and cannery by the end of the month. Per order of the federal government, Drakes Bay Oyster Company will discontinue operations, bringing an end to a 19-month legal battle to keep the historic oyster farm open. Last month it was announced that the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from the company, leaving the West Marin staple out of legal options to remain open during litigation. Now, if Kevin Lunny, owner of the family business, cannot get an extension on the ruling, he could be forced to dump thousands of oysters in Drakes Estero into a landfill so that the National Park Service can return the land to wilderness. “In working against the oyster farm,” the company writes on their website, “the National Park Service has misrepresented the law, our contracts with the state of California, and the results of scientific studies.” Drakes Bay Oyster Company is included in 2,500 acres of land set aside by a 1976 law as a wilderness area free of commercial activity after the expiration (in 2012) of a 40-year lease in federal waters. In 2009, Congress authorized the Interior Department to extend the lease by 10 years. But in November of 2012, then-Interior Secretary Ken Salazar abstained from granting a renewal once the lease expired, arguing that the oyster harvesting—which Lunny claimed was environmentally friendly and important to the local economy—didn’t honor the plan for a protected wilderness area. The Drakes Bay Oyster Farm family reports that they are “exploring some interesting options for moving forward,” and that they expect to have news to share at the end of the month. In the meantime, they look forward to greeting their cherished friends and supporters in the coming days. “We could have never managed to get through this without our loyal fans, customers and supporters,” a message on their site reads. “May truth and justice eventually prevail, with liberty and oysters for all!”—Molly Oleson
Downtown Streets Team celebrates its one-year anniversary by M o lly O l e son
A
more than 200 secure housing. According to a census—called the “Point in Time Count”—of persons experiencing homelessness, there were 924 sheltered and unsheltered homeless people in Marin County in January of 2013. Andrew Hening, regional director of the Downtown Streets Team in San Rafael, says that before the program arrived in Marin, one common perception among residents who complained about downtown being dangerous and uninviting was that it was overrun with aggressive, anti-social homeless people. There was a lot of work to be done to change those perceptions. “We’ve had to kind of prove ourselves,” Hening says of the program, which he notes has assumed the responsibility of being “ambassadors of the homeless community.” “People were pretty skeptical before we got started.” Prove themselves they have. Since the program was launched in San Rafael last summer, more than 190 people have attended weekly meetings to learn about how they can be part of the Downtown Streets Team, and the program has been able to maintain 25-30 active team members—250 percent more than originally envisioned by the city. As of the end of June, the program boasted 12,550 hours of time devoted to cleaning up the streets, which by far exceeded the city’s goal of 8,700 hours. And as of this week, they’ve been able to match 25 people with employment opportunities. “I think they’re doing great,” Hening says of those who have been showing up eager to work an average of 20 hours a week in exchange for cards that can be used to buy food and other basic necessities. “I really am incredibly impressed.” MOLLY OLESON
little after 8am on Tuesday, July 15, a crew of men and women in bright yellow, green and blue Downtown Streets Team T-shirts bursts out of the parking garage on Third Street between A and B streets. Eyes scan the pavement for pine needles and cigarette butts, and before long, the swooshing of brooms creates the background music for a team member who sings, “Get your troubles on the run ... let your life be free. You got to be happy ... pow, pow!” “Once they get started, it’s pretty good,” says Peter Rhodes, who, as a Downtown Streets Team supervisor is overseeing the crew’s work and directing them on a fourhour street cleanup. “They got their momentum.” One year ago, Rhodes, a 53-year-old disabled veteran from Marin, was homeless and staying at Novato’s New Beginnings Center. His life had little structure or direction, and was defined by transition. Today, Rhodes—who, over the last year has worked his way up from Downtown Streets Team crew member (yellow shirt) to team leader (green shirt) to team supervisor (blue shirt)—gets paid $5 an hour to work Monday through Friday from 8am until noon. In April, he found a permanent living situation. “It felt great,” he says of moving into his own small apartment in downtown San Rafael. “I was just lovin’ it.” His story is a testament to the success of the Downtown Streets Team program, which celebrated its one-year San Rafael anniversary this week. Sprouting from humble beginnings in 2005 in Palo Alto with the goals of ending homelessness by getting people off the street, putting them back to work and restoring hope they have lost, the program has helped nearly 300 people find jobs and

Construction on Highway 101 may increase traffic delays Set your alarm a little earlier and embrace the morning commute, Marin. The right-turn lane from the northbound offramp in Larkspur, located just off East Sir Francis Drake Blvd., will be redirected starting Monday, July 28, from 9am-3pm. The speed bump in your morning commute will continue through Friday, Aug. 1, according to the Marin County Department of Public Works (DPW). The redirect will allow for construction on a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge that will extend the Cal Park Hill Multi-Use Pathway further south by construction of an elevated crossing over Sir Francis Drake Blvd. The pathway will have an access ramp leading down to an already existing multi-use pathway adjacent to the roadway. The new path will be located just west of the Larkspur Ferry Terminal and, according to officials, is aimed at increasing and promoting nonmotorized commute alternatives, as well as providing a connection to the future station for the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) train system. Future lane closures will be intermittent throughout the project, which is scheduled for completion in July of 2015. The roadway will be closed to all traffic during the night when the main portion of the bridge over Drake Blvd. is erected. From Thursday, July 28, through Friday, Aug. 1, traffic heading east on Drake Boulevard toward Highway 580 will be affected, and the offramp traffic could be subject to backups. The Sir Francis Drake Boulevard curb lane (on the right) will be closed, leaving just one eastbound lane operational. Marin DPW advises that drivers proceed with caution when traveling through the construction zone and observe traffic signs.—Stephanie Powell
push-brooms and sweeps the sidewalks, the members greet people they see along the way. “Good mornin’, ” one crew member in a green shirt says with a smile to a young woman at an intersection. “Going to work?” Another crew member recognizes a guy riding by on his bicycle. “Hey Joe,” he says. “Top o’ the mornin’ to ya!” Friendly interaction with the community has not only helped team members to feel that their work is being appreciated—many are approached throughout the day and told that they are doing a great job—but has also helped to improve the perception of the homeless. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” Hening says of the community’s support. And to ensure that the Downtown Streets Team is addressing the challenges many business owners face when it comes to homelessness—some of which include trash left in front of their stores, people sleeping out front or using their bathrooms—a Business Advisory Council has been formed so local leaders can work with Downtown Streets to brainstorm solutions. As of now, the Downtown Streets Team can be found beautifying one of four work zones from the Transit Center to the library. But eventually, Hening says, they would like to expand their reach and have crews covering areas like the Canal District, Bristol Park, Terra Linda and Corte Madera, along with other towns in the county, so that San Rafael is not the only place shouldering all of Marin’s homeless services. In addition, the program would like to offer team members more work during business hours and implement an online submission form that will allow business owners to report things that have been damaged, and directly request a crew to restore them. “We want to be sort of like the first responders,” Hening says. For now, the Downtown Streets Team program continues its commitment to the long-term sustainable success of people who have struggled to find homes, jobs and self-
esteem by offering something that helps keep them motivated, engaged and stable. Rhodes calls the program “a stepping stone” for a lot of people with backgrounds similar to his own. He says that if it weren’t for Downtown Streets, he would probably still be staying at the homeless shelter. “To have success with someone who hasn’t found success for a number of years,
really kind of proves what we can do,” Hening says. “It’s a miraculous thing,” Rhodes says of Downtown Streets. “The turnover has made my life take direction and helped me to learn that given a good chance and a direction can be a good thing.” Y Offer Molly a little direction at moleson@pacificsun.com.

Zakk Barrett, an assistant store manager at the Walgreen’s on Third Street, says he thinks that what the Downtown Streets Team is doing is “awesome.” Some of the homeless population, he says, used to come into the store and disturb customers or steal things. “It’s calmed down a little bit,” he says, and believes that Downtown Streets might be helping to steer folks away from those kinds of things. “I was glad they got into something,” he says of the homeless he sees around town. “They’re good guys.” For some from the homeless population, a recommendation of the program from a friend is enough to jumpstart a new path. There’s been so much interest in Downtown Streets in its first year—much of which can be attributed to team members doing outreach and getting others involved—that Hening says there are currently eight people on a waiting list to join. Rhodes, who admits that his natural state is “to vegetate and isolate,” says that he heard about the program through a friend. “I tried it, and then I got hooked on it,” he says. “And it’s a pretty good hook.” Living a life of transition was hard, Rhodes remembers. “Going from place to place ... you don’t always have your eye on what you need to do.” The hours, the community interaction and the socialization are some of the things he enjoys about being part of the Downtown Streets Team. On top of making money and finding a place to live with the help of the program, he’s learned how to be an effective communicator, and has gained leadership and conflict resolution skills. “Peter, this way?” a crew member asks him as he pushes a cart full of brooms across Third Street. “Yeah—that way,” Rhodes advises, following the team to “cover their tracks,” as he calls it, and make sure that they hold to the team ethic of “a job well done is better than a route well-traveled.” As the crew retrieves cigarette butts with “pickers,” cleans the street gutters with

▼ We winced as Marin County Supervisor Judy Arnold read a portion of a small-minded letter at the supervisors’ meeting on July 8. The correspondence to Arnold, from Dr. Robert L. Freinkel, a physician practicing in Greenbrae and Novato, espoused vitriolic views on housing . Here’s a dose: “Marin does not want high density housing ... We do not want ill-behaved, ignorant, irresponsible welfare landfill dumped in our communities to trash our neighborhoods and schools.” Lest you assume that Freinkel’s referring to an actual sanitary waste station, consider another statement from his letter: “Do let me know when the multi-generation welfare clients in Marin City behave like civilized persons instead of endlessly attacking bus riders and law enforcement.” Freinkel, your bigoted words qualify you as a board certified Zero.—Nikki Silverstein

In a six-page handwritten will, he stated that the money should be used “for the benefit of all the cats which come into their care.” The donation is one of the largest the society has ever received. Because it was unexpected, there aren’t any specific plans yet for the fund. The altruist wasn’t married, but had two cats and called himself “Cat Daddy.” Both cats are now at a Santa Rosa sanctuary, which also received a donation from Kirchoff.

MARIN? SF Bay Restoration Authority nixes sea-level rise tax measure
by Peter Seidman
W
hile efforts to seek major funding to restore San Francisco Bay are on pause, a coordinated adaptation plan to manage sea-level rise on Marin’s Pacific coast has moved one important step forward. A public meeting on July 10 was the first step toward creating an adaptation plan for an initiative with a tongue-twisting moniker. The Collaboration: Sea-Level Marin Adaptation Response Team took the wise path to come up with an easier way to refer to the initiative: C-SMART. The name is apt because the effort seeks to tap the expertise of many government agencies as well as non-government organizations with a goal ultimately to create an action plan to deal with rising water along the Marin coast. A key part of the strategy includes major input from the communities along the ocean coast that will be affected by sea-level rise. Jack Liebster, a planner with Marin County Community Development, is the county point-person for the initiative, which received a $200,000 grant from the California Ocean Protection Council. The
10 PACIFIC SUN JULY 18 - JULY 24, 2014
California Coastal Commission contributed another $54,000 for the initiative, which will last two years. Things got started July 10 at the Bear Valley Visitor Center, outside of Olema. “The meeting went extraordinarily well,” Liebster says. The county had sent out posters, put notices in West Marin papers, sent emails and placed posters in local stores to publicize the meeting. The outreach worked. About 100 people attended the meeting, which served as the kickoff to an outreach campaign that marks the first phase of the initiative. One of the big questions in the search for plans to meet the challenge of sea-level rise is whether the public fully understands the enormity of the consequences of even a few inches of an increased sea level. Many stories in the news deal with macro-level issues, but the effect of rising water on local communities goes underreported. The first phase of an effort to deal with sea-level rise is education—making sure people know about consequences and possible actions to mitigate them. It’s a complicated job that

picture of a house on stilts about 20 feet high,” Liebster says. The audience member added that the house in the picture was the second house built on the site. The first was washed away in 1983. “We were not aware of that,” Liebster says. “Local knowledge is important.” The first phase of the C-SMART initiative will last about a year, during which the focus will be on gathering information, holding more public meetings in the fall, analyzing data and communicating with residents. Then comes the really hard work: Deciding how to meet the challenge. When it comes to narrowing the options and choosing mitigation measures, the choices won’t be easy—and they won’t come cheap.
government agencies and C-SMART “are not going to be making the decisions.” C-SMART is aimed at providing the basis for communities to make their own decisions. Each community can create mitigations it decides are in the best interests of its residents. Or they could decide to take no action and accept the consequences. While C-SMART works to develop action plans for communities on the coast, the county and Marin cities are collecting data and developing strategies for meeting sea-level rise
“We will get to a place where we can say that we know what will happen,” Liebster says. We can present the options and say what they will cost.” West Marin, like other communities along the California coast, eventually will have to decide on existential options— whether to retreat or to armor, whether to protect homes and cliffs or, as Liebster says, “Let the ocean decide.” He pulled no punches at the July 10 meeting. He said Marin is going to have to confront “some real hard questions.” But, he adds,

along the bay shoreline. A plan is underway to look at Richardson Bay. San Rafael created its own sea-level rise document. Other cities also are working on adaptations to rising water. Supervisor Kate Sears has been working to create a pilot project in southern Marin that would use a coordinated approach and which could be replicated in communities to the north along the bay shoreline. Those efforts are not as advanced as C-SMART. In addition to the activity in Marin, other counties are working on their own adaptation plans. Sonoma County is creating a strategy not unlike C-SMART, and Marin has been communicating with Sonoma because the effects of sea-level rise know no county or city borders. Mitigation measures taken in one community can have positive—or negative—effects on neighboring communities. The North Bay and the entire Bay Area region need a comprehensive strategy based on coordinated efforts. The value of government agencies to coordinate mitigation efforts will be important. But the push to restore wetlands around the bay took a hit recently when the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority decided not to proceed with a parcel tax measure on the November ballot. Wetlands are nature’s natural barrier to sea-level rise. Protecting them and increasing their coverage around the bay can be an effective tool in the sea-level rise arsenal. The Bay Restoration Authority proposed a parcel tax measure that would have assessed a $9-a-year tax on parcels in the nine Bay Area counties. The measure would have generated about $15 million a year. Although that would pay for some key restoration projects, it wouldn’t come close to the full amount that’s needed for a comprehensive plan to restore and improve wetlands, protect water quality, improve habitats and protect public access. Those are some of the key elements on the Restoration Authority’s to-do list. Amy Hutzel, a program manager at the San Francisco Bay Area Conservancy and a staff member at the Restoration Authority, says Save The Bay conducted a study a few years ago that identified the need for about $1.5 billion to complete about a dozen large restoration projects. David Lewis, executive director at Save The Bay, says the Restoration Authority board believed enough support existed to put the measure over the two-thirds requirement, but the campaign needed to convince voters in all nine Bay Area counties that it would cost in the low millions—too much money to raise in too short a time for the November ballot. Low voter turnout in a non-presidential cycle also was a concern. But the Restoration Authority isn’t backing away from the call for a measure that would engage the Bay Area public in helping to finance restoration projects. The board at the Restoration Authority passed a measure calling for an election campaign aimed at a ballot in 2016. Y Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com. JULY 18 - JULY 24, 2014 PACIFIC SUN 13

movement is used to embellish a script that takes far too long to get where it has to go. This is particularly apparent in Elena Wright’s hyperactive portrayal of Rosalind and Adam Roy’s not-always-funny antics as Touchstone. Even Livia Demarchi as the less flamboyant Celia occasionally falls victim to the movement obsession. All three have excellent quieter moments that suggest what might happen if the script were trimmed and the action toned down to a quiet bedlam. Glenn Havlan’s Jacques, the melancholy philosopher to whom Shakespeare gave some of his most eloquent speeches (“The Seven Ages of Man,” “Motley’s the Only Ware,” etc.), is a welcome exception to the general frenzy. This production of As You Like It, and MSC’s recent infusion of financial resources could mark the beginning of a golden era for Marin Shakespeare. One hopes that its leaders, who have accomplished much during the first 25 years, will have the vision and courage to raise the bar going forward until the company becomes one of the Bay Area’s premiere producers of classic theater and—who knows—maybe even an outstanding new play here and there.

his movie has been getting a lot of buzz for a film based on an outof-print French comic that’s never been translated into English,” says Ross Lockhart, author-editor-publisher, taking possession of a cold beer as we begin our post-film discussion of the apocalyptic train fantasy Snowpiercer. “I read something that called it ‘the best comic book movie of the year that no one has heard of.’” Well ... people have definitely heard of it now. The bloody little art house anomaly has been lighting up the internet, drawing comparisons to other apocalyptic films such as Soylent Green, The Road Warrior and A Boy and His Dog. Originally titled Le Transperceneige, and created by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette, Snowpiercer is set in a not-too-distant future, after attempts to stop global warming have resulted in a life-ending, worldwide Ice Age. What remains of the human species has been gathered onto an enormous train—the rich folks living in luxury at the front while the poor live in squalor at the back. When the have-nots have had enough, reluctant tail-section leader Curtis (Chris Evans) attempts a revolution, leading a pack of character actors (Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton) through a series of outlandishly imaginative train cars, climaxing in a spiritually significant standoff with the train’s God-like creator Wilford (Ed Harris).
“Given that it is essentially an allegorical film, Snowpiercer turned out to be a pretty great ride ... so to speak,” remarks Lockhart, founder of Word Horde Books (www.wordhorde.com), which specializes in gleefully weird genre fiction. He’s just published the apocalyptic anthology The Children of Old Leech: A Tribute to the Carnivorous Cosmos of Laird Barron (Word Horde, 2014, $29.00). Lockhart also recently published an anthology of stories inspired by Jack the Ripper, and is the editor of two popular collections of stories (The Book of Cthulhu and The Book of Cthulhu II) inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. “With any allegory, if you poke at it long enough, you’ll find things that are wrong with it,” Lockhart says, “but I think Snowpiercer will mostly hold up to scrutiny. It’s got lots of big ideas. It’s structured like a train. It moves straight ahead. It’s always headed somewhere. And when it got to where it was going, I was happy to be there.” “The ending was not exactly a warm and happy one,” I point out, digging into a basket of French fries. “I guess you could say it was guardedly hopeful that life will go on, but it’s also terribly bleak, affirming that humans really don’t know any other way to exist than to destroy themselves.” “Ironic, isn’t it?” Lockhart asks with a laugh. “These kinds of films all have that bleak but optimistic tone, which was really established in the 1970s, with the
Planet of the Apes movies, and The Omega Man. The world goes through a major change, and now there are a few new rules to learn.” At the heart of such films, of course, is the question of whether human beings ever can learn new rules. Lockhart believes that the other underlying theme of such films is to tease ourselves with the terrifying notion that we might someday not be here anymore, because it runs counter to our most enduring need. To be here, to know that we are here, and to let others know we are here—or once were, anyway. “One of the earliest pieces of human art,” Lockhart says, “is a handprint in a cave. Some guy put his hand on the wall, and somehow sprayed some pigment all around it so that his hand was permanently locked in time there for others to find. ‘I was here!’ And we’ve been saying ‘I was here’ ever since. That’s what books do. That’s what music does. It’s what movies do. They are a way of screaming into the cosmos, saying, ‘Hey! We exist! We matter!’ We leave our footprints everywhere because we are afraid those footprints may someday be erased. We even left our footprints on the moon! ‘We were here!’ It’s what we do.” “So how much would it matter if we weren’t here?” I ask. “Would the world even notice?” Lockhart mentions a certain shot in the film, in which the train passes an abandoned city, where an iced-over car boasts a bumper sticker proclaiming
“Save the World.” “When we talk about saving the world, we aren’t usually talking about the planet,” he says. “We are usually talking about saving the human species—and whatever of the rest of the world that we can manage to bring with us. But the truth is, the planet is going to be fine with or without us, and it might even do better if humans did become extinct.” “The world doesn’t do so well at the end of the original Beneath the Planet of the Apes,” I point out. “When everyone dies at the end of that movie, we pretty much take everything out at the same time. Kaboom. In Snowpiercer, at the end—at least there’s hope for the polar bears. “Polar bears are an alpha species,” Lockhart says with a laugh. “You know, I think the reason that we humans can’t imagine a world without us is that, at our core, we are a record-keeping species, a narrative species. We interpret everything as a story, as a collection of facts and details, and we cannot fathom a world where we are not there to write it all down. We are the ultimate observers. “And who knows?” he says with a laugh. “Maybe it’ll turn out that we’re not actually taking down all this information for our own use. Maybe we’re just collecting the details for someone else, some other species, further down the road.” Y Tell David it’s not the end of the world at talkpix@earthlink.net.

ViDEo Close encounters of the fatale kind Director Jonathan Glazer’s sci-fi meditation UNDER THE SKIN achieves high-creepiness thanks to a daring experiment by Glazer and star Scarlett Johansson (detailed in one of the Blu-ray’s bonus tracks) in which as many as a dozen cameras would run for hours while Johansson drove the cities and country roads If this is what most alien fatales resemble, no wonder they have such a high success rate. of Scotland, capturing her expression as she allowed the mask of character to slip off for something more blank—and alien. Adapted from the 2000 Michel Faber novel, Skin chronicles an alien fatale’s dirty work in dream time as she obtains a female host, then uses her beautiful human body to lure men (it’s important that they be unattached) to a dark watery doom and “harvesting”—we’re not sure for what. If this sounds like the lurid stuff of Spawn be assured, there’s power in the inversion of sexual politics here—where no light banter is what it seems, and even an alien exploiter can find the tables turned if it finds itself alone in female form. Complete with a brilliantly nuanced performance by Johansson and featuring racer Jeremy McWilliams, who frightens as the motorcycle-riding alien accomplice slash nemesis. This is only Glazer’s third feature after Sexy Beast and Birth, and each has been an event.—Richard Gould from the historic Plant recording studio location.

He lived with children in the past so we think he will be fine with sturdy kids 10+. O'Syris is very interested in playing with other dogs but he is a strong boy, so a careful match for him is needed. after spending time with O'Syris, it was impossible not to fall in love with him.

na ,” ns. his ines
ARIES (March 21 - April 19) It’s time to respond to all of those missed calls from Mom, Aries. Your home sector is lit up on July 22 and you’ve got to do your best to understand you are in high demand when it comes to family. Not only do you provide impeccable comedic relief when political conversations go south, but your warm nature brings great comfort to those closest to you. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Two is better than one when it comes to a lot of things, Taurus. Leave your pogo stick at the door and jump off that unicycle—it’s time for compromise. July 20 will bring a few opportunities to collaborate, so rather than defaulting to tug-of-war, listen carefully and proceed with caution, not insults. This may not be the million dollar idea, but it’s better than the alternative result: cruising through life on a pogo stick. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) That app you’ve been working on is about to go viral, Gemini! Break out your Sharpie and practice that signature. It may still be a little unclear how your concept overshadowed the competition, but one thing for certain is your ability to adapt and charm will seal a few deals. Keep up the mingling on July 24; you’re bound to run into a big wig in line at the Sonoma County Fair’s port-o-potties. CANCER (June 21 - July 22) You may want to thank the heavens for that awesome first date, Cancer, but you should really be thanking Saturn. Ruler of your committed partnerships, Saturn finally goes direct on July 20 and your love life is getting back on track. You’re doing the right thing by taking it slow so keep up the good work. LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22) Broadway is calling your name, Leo. It’s time for your big debut on July 24. You haven’t been able to get your mind out of the clouds and, creatively, you’re overdue for some spotlight. Whether you’re partnering on a new business venture, singing a solo or announcing a pregnancy, it’s clear the stars want you take center stage. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Did someone ask you if you’re getting fat, Virgo? They were talking about your wallet, not your waist size! Mars is exiting Libra’s financial drain and finally giving you a little slack. You’ll be able to save once again. Channel your inner planner—this is prime time to open a CD on July 24. LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Take some tips from House of Cards, Libra. It’s time to get politicking! You may find a genuine interest in a new acquaintance, but remember to play your cards right. VIPs don’t come in one shape and size—the guy at the snow cone machine might be the CEO of your dreams cousin’s brother-in-law. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) Revamp that resume, Scorpio! It’s time you get applying to new gigs. It’s time to shift your focus on another area of interest and study. While it’s been great experience learning how to operate rollercoasters at a theme park, it’s time to invest in a job that has a stake in your future. It’s unlikely you’ll ever open that theme park based on Orange in the New Black— let it go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Can’t get William Shatner out of your head, Sagittarius? Well, the Priceline Negotiator himself is here to help! Get out of town on July 23; you’re overdue for some quality R&R. A bonfire at the beach is likely to rejuvenate your fiery soul. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) Gather your trusted comrades, Capricorn! All aboard your train on July 19, you’ve got plans to share and announcements to make. Whether you’re leading a press conference at work or planning a getaway with your BFFs, just know that the stars will make sure all eyes are on you. Don’t feel bad commandeering a project and planning it all the way to completion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) Jupiter is joining the Sun on July 24 to help you pop the question, Aquarius! It’s time to get serious; so practice getting down on one knee or start the hunt for something old, new and blue. For the committed Aquarius, it’s time to get a little deeper with your partner. Let him or her know what you really think about that salmon-colored button-up. PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20) It’s time for a little change, Pisces. Now’s the time to get the rhinoplasty of your dreams or chop off your beloved locks. Venus is here to hold your hand the next few weeks and encourage a little make over. Don’t be complacent when it comes to your looks. The 90s pink mohawk might not be a reputable look, so maybe compromise for a chic bob instead.

Q:
I’m an 18-year-old woman, recently asked out by a handsome, charming 34-year-old guy from France. He took me out to a nice restaurant, and everything was wonderful until he admitted that he has a girlfriend, though he explained that they always fight and break up. He said he isn’t ready to leave or cheat on her, but he is very attracted to me and wants to keep seeing me platonically to see where our “relationship” goes. I believe him but feel like some second option. After dinner, we ended up making out in his car. Things were going WAY too far, so I had him take me home. I really like him, but I don’t want to waste my time wanting someone who already has someone, even if he is “confused” about her.—Disturbed
A:
Some men take their monogamy very seriously: “I’m not ready to cheat on my girlfriend. But I might be ready after dessert.” Yes, the guy reeled you in like a dazed trout, but you shouldn’t feel too bad about that. In addition to his being an experienced 34 to your inexperienced 18, he’s also French. If there’s a French national sport, it’s probably seduction. (Note that nobody calls making out “North Korean kissing.”) French seducers are particularly good at romantic spin, like how this guy told you he wants to “keep seeing you platonically,” which, it seems, is French for “grope you behind the restaurant in a car.” The French also tend to be more relaxed about the boundaries of monogamy. In a Pew Research Center poll, when asked whether an affair is “morally unacceptable,” only 47 percent of French people said it is, compared with 87 percent of Americans. Former French President Francois Mitterrand’s wife even invited his mistress to his funeral, where they stood together over his coffin. Still, even in France, there are lines you just don’t cross. In the words of actor Yves Montand: “I think a man can have two, maybe three affairs while he is married. But three is the absolute maximum. After that, you are cheating.” Unfortunately, you missed your cue to activate the ejection seat—the point at which the guy mentioned having a girlfriend. A guy with a girlfriend is a guy who is not available. Not even if he says they’re on-and-off and suggests sampling you as a way of deciding whether they should be off-and-off. The problem is, there’s a time when this sort of clarity comes more easily, and it isn’t when you’re in the heat of the moment, having your culottes charmed off by Jean-Claude the Seducer. You need to go into a date with a set of standards—standards you come up with ahead of time for what you will and won’t accept. If, for example, one of these is “Never become somebody’s backup sex,” it won’t matter that the man in question is very attracted to you and says so with a French accent. As France’s big gift to the United States, the Statue of Liberty, says on its base: “Give me your tired,” not your “tired of their girlfriends.”
Q:
My ex-girlfriend and I broke up two years ago, and she’s about to marry another guy. I admit that I’m not quite over her, and she knows this, so I’m not invited to the wedding. But we loved each other for many years, so it seems wrong to let such a big life event of hers pass without mention. Do I send a card? A gift? Put in a phone call? —Former Boyfriend
A:
When the woman you love is marrying someone else, it’s natural to be of two minds—one that says “Call and congratulate her!” and the other whispering, “Call in a bomb threat to the church on their wedding day!” Taking the classier approach will actually have benefits for you—even beyond avoiding a lengthy trial and prison time. A growing body of research finds that “walking the walk”—acting the way you’d like to feel—is one of the fastest, most effective ways to change how you do feel. Basically, by acting as if you’re over her, you’ll help move yourself along to that point. So, yes, write out a congratulatory card. (A gift is unnecessary, and a call might be uncomfortable, especially if you and she end up playing phone tag and her fiance notices 26 messages from her ex.) In the card, you can simply say something like, “Wishing you guys all the best on your wedding day and many years of happiness!” Just avoid getting into specifics on the happiness thing, like how you’ll always be there for her: “If your husband ever finds you in bed with another man, I’d like it to be me.” Y
