Letters ‘A big huge lie’ Marin County is supposed to be progressive [‘Golden tickets,’ May 11]. Allowing only FOUR [dispensaries]? Wake up and smell the science, Marin. Marijuana should not have ever been considered a Class I narcotic. That was and still is a big huge lie.

Allow progress. Allow rational laws to prevail.

—Catherine Tripp, via pacificsun.com

Join me Dear Editor, As a dear friend and fan of late Supervisor Charles McGlashan, I’m writing to express my strong support for re-electing his successor, Kate Sears, for Southern Marin Supervisor. Not doing so could negatively impact Marin’s future direction. Kate has a long list of accomplishments on a range of issues and is well known for her high level of integrity, as evidenced by her extensive list of supporters: Searsforsupervisor.com.

I hope that you will join me in voting for Kate Sears!

With gratitude, —Patsy Northcutt, environmentalist and business owner, Mill Valley

Essential qualities Dear Pacific Sun Editor, Having worked with Supervisor Sears for the past four years on creating and promoting safe routes to schools, I can attest to her diligence, inclusiveness and integrity in bringing solutions to benefit

Mill Valley and Southern Marin.

Supervisor Sears has supported many creative and cost-effective infrastructure projects such as adding sidewalks, crosswalks— including high-visibility flashing beacons at a particularly hazardous intersection in Tam Valley—and bike lanes to help students reach their schools and after-school activities safely on their own, without being driven, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and reducing vehicle traffic on our roads.

Many of the projects we have worked on require close collaboration and negotiation with other agencies (e.g., Caltrans, local city governments), because of overlapping jurisdictions and sometimes competing interests and budgets. Only a skillful, resourceful, patient but persistent representative can succeed in such a complex environment. Kate Sears has consistently demonstrated these essential qualities in my work with her.

—Raoul Wertz, former Trustee, Mill Valley School District

Positive thoughts Enjoyed your article [‘National impact,’ May 25]. I’m of the very old, still helping out at our community theater and worry about the plays coming about. We are hard-pressed to accept some of the newer plays and need to be brought along slowly. Thanks for your positive thoughts.

—Janice Hoberg, The Chautauqua Playhouse, Carmichael, CA

Upfront June 7 brings an array of topics to Marin County voters.

Decision time Notes on June 7 elections

By Joanne Williams

Time of judgment: Candidates for Marin County Superior Court The nine attorneys vying for one seat in the Marin Superior Court this June 7 are uber-cordial and uber-qualified. So how does a conscientious voter select the best

person for the job with a starting salary of about $263,302 a year and a cumulative six-year benefit of something like $1.5 million?

The candidates made the rounds to pitch their qualifications; seven of them spoke at The Redwoods Retirement Community in Mill Valley, and guess what? They all seem qualified. All are attorneys with many years of varied experience before the bench and now hoping to wear the robe and wield the gavel that has been held

by retiring Judge Faye D’Opal.

In front of the uber-active Seniors for Peace, the candidates told of their scholarship, their ties and loyalty to Marin, their seasons coaching sports teams, reaching out to help the disadvantaged and years serving the county as either deputy district attorney, county counsel, prosecutor or litigation attorney.

They are all top-tier people in our community; four men, five women.

Of the nine, five are county employees.

The single African-American, Otis Bruce, was born in Mississippi, where he worked on his grandfather’s farm, gravitated West for college and has lived and worked in Marin for 25 years. He has been president of the Marin County Bar Association and served many nonprofits. His main interests are child and spousal abuse programs, alternative justice and mental health court cases.

The single woman of color, Sheila Lichtblau, brought along her father—a man originally from India. Lichtblau’s mother is Puerto Rican. She has endorsements galore, including Supervisor Kathrin Sears, former Supervisor Gary Giacomini and outgoing Judge D’Opal, among many other judges, active and retired. She states 23 years of “broadbased practice in the nonprofit, private and public sectors … ” She is fluent in Spanish and an articulate public speaker.

Both Lichtblau, a deputy county counsel, and Tom McCallister, a deputy district attorney, emphasized the need for restorative justice, especially for first-time youthful offenders. McCallister also emphasized his work to curtail elder abuse fraud and his volunteer work with at-risk kids.

Mike Coffino, a public defender, believes in constitutional rights and due process and thinks there is an unconscious bias against minorities.

He would like to see improvements in jury selection.

All candidates touted the need for treatment programs, diversion and restorative justice programs.

All except McCallister declared themselves Democrats; he declined to state. The judgeship is nonpartisan.

Nicole Pantaleo, a secondgeneration Italian-American and Marin native, is a county prosecutor who believes in fighting for social justice. “My parents escaped the Nazis,” she said, and she has a great belief in protecting constituents and doing community outreach to prevent crime.

One Senior for Peace asked the group, “Are you satisfied with the level of justice in Marin?”

Pantaleo responded that Marin is lucky not to have too many serious crime cases, but there could be more courts for misdemeanors, alcohol and drug abuse. Otis Bruce thinks there should be more diversity represented in Marin’s courts.

Attorney Nancy McCarthy, known for her work keeping Marin General Hospital under Marin leadership and away from corporate control,

Judges are elected countywide. There are 10 Superior Court judges in Marin, and voters will elect one judge for Div. 2 on June 7, and possibly face a runoff later. What does the Superior Court do, actually? It covers all kinds of legal services including how the court works, referrals and general info too detailed to explain here.

Let’s Talk About Home Care.

Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one.

Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home.

Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents.

Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock.

Home care supports advanced care needs. Our caregivers are experienced and trained to support older adults who are transitioning home from the hospital, recovering from a stroke or a major medical procedure, or managing chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or diabetes.

Meet Francie. Francie Bedinger is the Home Care Assistance Kentfield client care manager and works directly with clients and their families throughout Marin County. With a masters in Gerontology, Francie is an expert in health and wellness for older adults and works hard to ensure her clients are happy and healthy at all times.

Sometimes calls for justice move from the streets to the internet— and with luck, to Capitol Hill.

The criminal justice reform organization #cut50 is proof of that.

When Mill Valley Vice Mayor Jessica Sloan met Democratic activist Van Jones at a Marin Democrats dinner, they merged ideas and energy to co-found #cut50 (cut50.org), a nationwide effort to reduce the prison population.

Sloan, a human rights attorney, is passionate about the issue for personal reasons. At 22, she saw her (now former) husband go to prison for a nonviolent crime. “He had an addiction,” says Sloan, now 34. “We had a small baby and the system ripped our family apart without making the situation any better. When I visited him I was appalled to discover that they were not providing any counseling or treatment so he could recover from his drug issues. Nor did they help prepare him to reenter society three and a half years later.” That’s when Sloan began to raise awareness of prison policy.

“Van and I founded #cut50.org, to raise the issue of mass incarceration in the public through the media and to bring together people on both sides of the aisle to find solutions to crime that not only decrease our prisons but make our communities safer.

“As a result of the 1990’s toughon-crime attitude, too many people were sent to prison, for too long, with a disproportionate and highly destructive impact on poor communities and communities of color,” Sloan continued. There are now: •More than 70 million people living with some type of criminal record • 23 million people who bear the label “convicted felon”—preventing them from gaining meaningful housing, employment or education • 5 million children have at least one incarcerated parent • 2.2 million people in prisons and jails • $80 billion per year spent on prisons.

When they held the first-ever Bipartisan Summit on Criminal Justice Reform last year, which drew participation from The White House, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, 13 members of Congress from both sides of the aisle, thenAttorney General Eric Holder, three GOP Governors and more than 800 leading advocates and formerly incarcerated people, #cut50 gained attention. The event catalyzed new unlikely partnerships and several important criminal justice bills in Congress.

Today, Oakland-based #cut50 is running four national campaigns to humanize the issue of criminal justice reform and change existing legislation. Sloan »8

said that one of the national campaigns has led to a bipartisan federal bill, the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, to release 10,000 nonviolent prisoners.

The result: 5,400 will be released immediately, and the remainder will see their sentences shortened.

“We have 1.1 million supporters on change.org, over 100 celebrity endorsers including Alicia Keys and Steph Curry, and we’ve received financial help from multiple foundations and individuals including the Ford Foundation and Google.org,” Sloan emphasized.

Through its leadership in the community, bipartisan coalition and cultural influencers, #cut50 aims to create a smart and safe reduction in the number of people behind bars by 50 percent over the next 10 years.

They envision a criminal justice system that recognizes the humanity of the 2.2 million people currently behind bars in America and moves toward compassion and treatment rather than punishment and incarceration.

“With empathy, understanding and love we can build the political will needed to rectify the damage caused by the incarceration industry on individuals, families and our society,” Sloan said. “We’ve seen how effective drug treatment courts and veterans courts are because they actually address the root of the problem—not just punish behaviors. Now we need to scale those models across the board.”Y

Several local issues on the June 7 ballot deserve attention from committed voters.

First, there’s the appeal of the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority, a regional government agency created in 2008 to raise money for the restoration and protection of wetlands and wildlife habitat along the shoreline of the nine Bay Area counties, Marin included. Around $1.5 billion is needed to restore the 100,000 acres of wetlands around the Bay. Much of it has to do with climate change and the effects of sea level rise.

San Francisco Bay is the largest estuary on the West Coast and its watershed is the largest in western North America. In 1965, with the creation of the Bay Conservation and Development

Commission (BCDC), inappropriate development of the Bay was halted.

Now’s the time to undertake restoration. That’s where Measure AA comes in.

Saving the Bay—Measure AA Measure AA (called the San Francisco Bay Clean Water, Pollution Prevention and Habitat Restoration Program) proposes a parcel tax of $12 per year to reduce trash, pollution and toxins, improve water quality and restore fish and wildlife habitat, protect communities from floods and increase public shoreline access.

The League of Women Voters and many environmental groups endorse this measure. Opponents argue that Marin County residents will contribute 5 percent of the funding but receive only 3.5 percent of the money. Opponents’ main objection is that residential property owners pay the same tax as major high-profile companies in Silicon Valley (Facebook, Google, Chevron) that ring the Bay. They argue that the big guys should pay according to their footprint on the Bay. Modernize Marin Community College Another ballot measure of interest to Marin is Measure B, which proposes $265 million to modernize the College of Marin.

Many educators, parents and the League of Women Voters endorse Measure B. Proposition 50 If it passes, Prop. 50 would add rules to the state Constitution about how to suspend state lawmakers—not just expel them.

Suspension would require a 2/3 vote of fellow lawmakers and the salary and benefits of suspended lawmakers would be taken away during suspension. Opponents to Prop. 50 say accused lawmakers should be expelled instead of suspended. This goes back to 2014 when three California state senators were accused of felonies and suspended.

Spahr Center rising

What the ongoing merge of the Spectrum LGBT Center and Marin AIDS Project means for the future of two iconic North Bay institutions

By David Templeton Spectrum Services Manager Julie Majdoubi and Marin AIDS Life & Community Relations Manager Andy Fyne present The Spahr Center, which combines the Spectrum LGBT Center and the Marin AIDS Project.

R

“

elationships matter,” the Rev. Jane Spahr once preached. “Relationships matter because relationships are what really change the world.”

In the early 1980s, Spahr helped form a pair of San Rafael-based organizations dedicated to changing the world through building relationships between people in need and the wider community.

Whether or not Spahr and the people she inspired actually succeeded in changing the world through such efforts—and many have argued that they certainly did—one thing is quite clear. Those relationships and ideals that were put in place more than 30 years ago have very definitely changed Marin County.

It was at the height of the AIDS crisis, a time when ‘gay pride’ was still a relatively new slogan, and gay people were dying amidst an extraordinary media storm and rising social debate fueled by prejudice, fear and a gap in education.

Having served as assistant pastor of First Presbyterian Church in San Rafael from 1975-1979, afterwards serving as executive director of the Oakland Council of Presbyterian Churches, Spahr had recently come out as a lesbian. Though she shortly thereafter resigned from her position, her story ignited a powerful nationwide conversation about gays in the ministry, the power of pride, the meaning of service and Jesus’ message of love and kindness to underserved and outcast communities.

In 1982, Spahr founded San Rafael’s the Ministry of Light, a nonprofit designed to provide needed services and emotional support to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) residents of Marin County. At the same time, she helped found the Marin AIDS Services Network. Today, the Ministry of Light has evolved, adopting the name Spectrum LGBT Center back in the ’90s, and the Marin AIDS Services Network is now the Marin AIDS Project (MAP).

After years of outstanding service to the community, the two organizations that Jane Spahr

Spahr Center rising «9 built are merging to form a stronger relationship as direct partners.

Though the names Spectrum and MAP will continue for the time being, both groups are now working as programs offered by San Rafael’s The Spahr Center, envisioned as a kind of one-stop-shop offering a variety of services and programs serving the North Bay LGBTQ community (‘Q’ added to included ‘Queer’ or ‘Questioning’). Those programs include dozens of support groups for adults and teens, their families, health services, HIV testing, needle exchanges and legal and financial assistance.

The Pacific Sun’s David Templeton recently asked Spectrum Services Manager Julie Majdoubi and Marin AIDS Life & Community Relations Manager Andy Fyne to talk about the new merger under the Spahr Center banner, what it will mean for Marin County, the way the world has changed over the last 30 years and what might be changing around us at this very moment.

Pacific Sun: So, what’s happening with Spectrum and MAP? What is the motivation for the merge at this point in time?

Andy Fyne: Both organizations

were formed in the ’80s, and though they have remained separate, there has always been close cooperation between us through the decades.

Recently, the boards of both organizations decided to merge. One of the main reasons for that was just to be more efficient. We can offer more by working as one organization, and it just seemed logical to name the new organization The Spahr Center, after Janie Spahr, who founded both organizations.

Julie Majdoubi: As individual organizations, we’ve each accomplished a lot with very small staffs. We do it by leveraging what we do with volunteers, and we have good governmental and foundation support and excellent community partners.

Fyne: That gives us the ability to reach out to a lot of people and provide fairly expansive services. We have to be nimble and resourceful, and many of us here do many different things on any given day. We have a very talented and knowledgeable staff.

The Spahr Center is unique in Marin County, because it’s the only organization devoted exclusively to promoting the health and wellbeing

of LGBTQ people and those living with HIV. Other organizations might serve these groups, but we’re the only organization that solely serves them.

Sun: Are you going to be letting go of the Spectrum and Marin AIDS Project names at some point?

Majdoubi: It’ll be a transition.

Fyne: I would say at this time, that Marin AIDS Project is a program of the Spahr Center, and the Spectrum LGBT is a program of the Spahr Center. Eventually, through this rebranding, we are eventually going to fully merge the organizations and stop using that language. The Spahr Center will have three focuses— LGBTQ services, services for people with HIV and services around HIV prevention.

Sun: Your organizations have been doing this work for a long time, and things have changed. What’s going on in the LGBTQ community of Marin that is new, either positively or otherwise?

Majdoubi: There are definitely a growing number of people with needs around gender identity. I see that as the big emerging issue. We certainly see it politically as well.

Gender identity is left out of a lot of legislation, so there is a need for better rules regarding safety of trans people and gender queer people in schools and public spaces. As more

Julie Majdoubi and Andy Fyne say that they get calls all of the time from people who wish to support the LGBTQ community.

people are coming out as gender queer, there’s a real need for more support there.

One of the most important things we do is to provide information.

We are a resource for people who need to know what’s going on, and what services are available to them. We provide that information, even about services we don’t offer ourselves.

Sun: What kind of questions are you getting?

Majdoubi: I get calls all the time asking me for info about what health agencies in the area are transgender affirmative or gender queer knowledgeable. We recently got a call all the way from Monterey asking us, in Spanish, what would be the appropriate language to use, in Spanish, for a gender-neutral pronoun. When I don’t have the answers, I’m going to dig around and find out. It’s important to us that people have a place to call, just to ask those questions.

Fyne: I would say, in regards to the LGBTQ community, there’s a growing interest from providers to be more informed and affirmative around their care.

Majdoubi: And there is increasing family support on the whole. Not every family is supportive of their LGBTQ members. Certainly, in families of color there are still a lot of challenges in terms of family acceptance. But on the whole, we are seeing an increase in positive family support when kids come out.

Kids are coming out earlier than in previous generations. The latest polls show that the average age LGBTQ kids are coming out is now 16 or 17.

Sun: And what effect is that having on the community at large?

Majdoubi: The youth, who are coming out earlier, and coming out prouder, are looking to build more of a community. A lot of the schools and the churches and service organizations in Marin are looking to support these kids. That’s something new, and it’s a good thing, and I think that should be something people are aware of. I get calls from all over looking for information and training on how to support all of these youth that are coming out. And a lot of those calls are from parents. That’s huge. In generations past, the parents would have been the last ones to ask how to be more supportive. So that’s a really big sign of progress. We know that family support, school and community support, changes the course for LGBT kids growing up healthy. That kind of support helps

them steer clear of the risk factors of homelessness, substance abuse, HIV infection, suicide and depression.

Those are still present risks, but they are decreasing, as support from our community increases. I’m really pleased to see that that is the growing trend.

Fyne: Gender is definitely the big hot topic right now. But that does not diminish the continued need for support on the other fronts as well. We continue to have a strong mission of prevention and outreach to the HIV infected and affected. We are the only safe access syringe exchange in the county. We do exchange, but we also provide syringes without the need for bringing in used syringes.

Majdoubi: In the interest of harm reduction, we have a room full of supplies we make available to people who are at risk. If you are going to shoot up, we want you to be able to shoot up safely, to reduce potential infection and spread of HIV. Fyne: HIV infection, Hepatitis C infection and bacterial infection. We have safe injection supplies along with syringes. We have information and referral services.

Sun: Your needle exchange program, then, extends outside of the LGBTQ community? Can anyone who needs safe injection supplies participate?

Fyne: Yes. Basically, we’re really trying to brand it as ‘syringe access,’ so people will feel safe and open to coming in. The opioid addiction problem is growing in Marin, as it

is everywhere else, and we’ve also responded by providing free Narcan kits. Narcan is a drug that’s been invented to reduce opioid overdose.

We train injection drug users in how to safely inject their friends, what the procedure is and we distribute Narcan.

It’s a very important service that we’ve just begun in response to increased opioid use in the county, which comes with increased overdose risk, and with increased risk of spreading HIV and other diseases.

This year we are distributing about 25 percent more syringes than we did the year before. We see that as a growing problem, as do many people in the county, and we’re responding by providing harm reduction services that are much needed.

Sun: What other ‘harm reduction’ services do you offer?

Fyne: The traditional method of harm reduction in regards to HIV and Hepatitis C is to encourage frequent testing for people most at risk. We do a lot of prevention outreach, to find populations that are at risk, and encourage testing.

Traditionally, in San Francisco, a harm prevention worker might go into a gay bar or bathhouse. We don’t have those facilities here in Marin, so we’re doing a lot of work online. We are also going out into the community where populations most at risk gather—the St. Vincent Dining Room, and other drug treatment facilities, places like that.

One of the most important things we do is to provide information. We are a resource for people who need to know what’s going on, and what services are available to them.

and ask—but if you don’t have access to a doctor, if you’d rather do it in a community-based setting, these people can call Marin AIDS Project or walk in, and we will test them within 24 hours.

Sun: Who should be tested?

Majdoubi: Definitely the people who are most at risk, which means men who have sex with men, people who have HIV-positive partners, intravenous drug users and people of color who’ve never had an AIDS test.

Fyne: We offer free, confidential, walk-in HIV testing every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30pm to 7pm, with results given in just 20 minutes.

Sun: In terms of HIV and AIDS, there have been a lot of medical discoveries over the last several years.

Are there any new tools or medicines that are altering how those with HIV are being treated?

Fyne: We do have a new tool in prevention. That’s PrEP, which stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis.

Very simply, it’s a one-pill-a-day regimen that, taken on a regular basis, will prevent HIV infection.

PrEP is proving to be over 99 percent effective in reducing HIV infection.

Sun: Does the Spahr Center offer PrEP to its clients?

Fyne: No. It’s something that has to be prescribed in a clinical setting.

But we’re providing the navigation and information people need, helping them to get onto insurance that might pay for it. Helping them find programs that might pay for it.

For a lot of people, simply getting a prescription and then getting it filled can be a huge barrier. So, we’re helping them work the system to get PrEP, and stay on it. And we are advocating for more outlets in

this county that will prescribe PrEP. Right now it’s mainly prescribed by private doctors or in limited public settings.

Sun: Along with the other services you offer to the HIV community, I imagine some of it has to do with the population aging? Are you seeing that as a growing factor?

Fyne: Well, the general population of Marin is aging, too, so in terms of our services to people living with HIV, our work has a lot to do with having them age in place, providing support services that allow them to stay in their homes. We’re definitely doing that on a larger scale than we have in the past, as the population gets older.

We’re still providing the same menu of services we’ve provided over the years—benefits advocacy, mental health services, emergency financial support, housing assistance, a food pantry with the support of the Marin County Food Bank, nutritional support in the form of cash, home-based care and many other things.

Sun: What have you both found are the biggest misunderstandings that still persist within or about the communities you serve? Are there any false ideas you’d like to clear up?

Fyne: Well, around HIV care, a lot of people still get confused regarding documentation status.

If you are undocumented in this country, you may not be able to get onto expanded Medi-Cal or an ACA health program. However, if you are living with HIV, even if you are undocumented, you get a full range of HIV health services free of charge. The fact that you’re not a legal resident shouldn’t be a barrier

for getting tested, learning your HIV status and getting appropriate care.

The drugs will be paid for.

In terms of syringe access, our needle exchange is anonymous and legal. People are still a little worried about having to identify themselves.

Also, when our needle exchange access site is closed, people should be able to go into a pharmacy and buy as many clean syringes as they like without a prescription. It does depend on the pharmacy, but that’s something they should be able to do at most pharmacies.

We’d also like to change people’s perception that HIV drugs are toxic and difficult to take. That idea is sort of old school, and we’d love for that idea to go away. Taking HIV drugs has become a very easy thing, less toxic and with fewer side effects than it ever was.

Sun: Do you think HIV will ever be a thing of the past?

Fyne: I don’t know about elimination, but I will say that the path to eliminating HIV is in finding people who don’t know their status, who might be positive, and getting

them on meds if they are. That will be one of the big hammers in bringing down the spike of HIV. Majdoubi: You asked about misperceptions we’d like to change?

One big one I’d like to change is the idea that you have to cross a bridge to get care, or to find services.

There are a lot of people in the LGBTQ community who still think you have to go to San Francisco or the East Bay to find a community.

That community is here. And those services are here. And that’s kind of my main thing I’m shouting out from the rooftops, to let the county of Marin know that we are offering the services the LGBTQ community needs. We are connecting people and supporting people. I want the community of Marin to feel that sense of support from the Spahr Center. We welcome everyone with a sense of openness and inclusion and understanding. We are here for you.Y The Spahr Center; 910 Irwin Street; San Rafael; 415/457-2487; thespahrcenter.org.

hether you are three or 83—your experience with Equator Coffees should be like a Katy Perry concert,” says Helen Russell, who along with her partner of 26 years, Brooke McDonnell, co-founded their San Rafael-based coffee roastery in 1995.

Up until three years ago, Equator Coffees & Teas was a wholesale business. The pair’s coffees were served throughout the Bay Area at notable places like The French Laundry and Jardiniére in San Francisco, but it wasn’t until they opened their first retail store at Tam Junction that their distinctive red and black packaging became a recognizable brand.

Equator isn’t just a fast-growing coffee and tea company. This year, it was recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as the 2016 California Small Business of the Year. This makes them the first LGBT-owned business certified by the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce to receive the prestigious award.

“At this stage in my career, I always want to be a role model,” says Russell, who is proud to have this recognition, but acknowledges that being women entrepreneurs committed to sustainable business

practices is more of a focus than the company’s LGBT status.

Russell and McDonnell have long been committed to improving their industry by creating more transparency, building community and being environmental stewards to the areas where coffee beans are grown. Chef Thomas Keller congratulated them for their SBA award and noted their “commitment to forging personal relationships with farmers and a “hands-on approach” that “makes them inspirational leaders and business owners.”

The 21-year-old company has 90 employees, more than 350 wholesale customers, retail cafes at LinkedIn and Google, multiple stores and more in the works.

With so much going on, the partners have moved to Mill Valley from Novato to be closer to their expanding operations. They have also been invited to speak in June at The United State of Women Summit in Washington, D.C. about entrepreneurship and innovation.

An opportunity on the national stage to pass on some acumen and inspiration to future generations of women is heartening. Good role models? Heck yeah!Y Learn more about Equator Coffees & Teas at equatorcoffees.com.

ell, we made it. For the fourth year in a row, Napa and the surrounding valley endured three days of massive crowds reveling in wine, food, music and more on a hot Memorial Day weekend.

By all accounts, the sold-out BottleRock Napa Valley event filled the downtown exposition fairgrounds with upwards of 40,000 people each day. And despite the now-standard traffic woes, crowds undauntedly rocked out for all of it.

Friday, May 27 opened with local musical flavor—Napa acts the Deadlies and Anadel were featured.

From there, fans could choose between the dance beats of La Misa Negra and the roots punk of Fantastic Negrito, both based in Oakland.

On the Lagunitas Stage, Los Angeles indie rock band Bird Dog played a chilled-out set—the last under the current moniker and first for lead singer Maxim Rainer’s 8-week-old daughter, who wore giant headphones.

Friday’s musical highlight was blues legend Buddy Guy, sizzling with a set of triumphant guitar work. And BottleRock’s strangest scene also came on Friday, from headliner Stevie Wonder. After opening with a string of popular hits, Wonder stopped the show cold when he decided to “honor” recently passed songwriters like Prince, Glenn Frey and David Bowie by playing some of their songs—from his computer; he shuffled through an iPod of hits to the growing

bewilderment of the massive crowd before launching into a grand rendition of “Superstition.”

Saturday’s theme was heat, as temperatures rose to nearly 90 degrees.

Musically, old-school hip-hop group the Pharcyde, who, back in 1992 pioneered throwing your hands in the air like you just don’t care, dominated the afternoon. Reggae stars Ziggy Marley and Iration also brought the noise, as the masses passed up the craft beers in favor of the sounds.

Saturday’s headliners, Florence and the Machine, performed one of the best sets of the fest. The band was recently the subject of a viral video, performing a private acoustic concert for a hospice-bound fan in Austin, Texas, and the weekend’s emotionallypacked performance echoed that tearjerking set of music—amplified for the thousands in attendance.

By Sunday, the sun was having its way with the crowd, and the bodies on blankets began to outnumber the feet dancing on the lawns. Still, the music played on and an international lineup of bands, including British bluesman Jamie N Commons and Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, delighted those who stuck it out.

The biggest question mark on the lineup heading into the fest was Sunday headliners the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as lead singer Anthony Kiedis was hospitalized on May 15 with an intestinal flu. Luckily for fans, Kiedis and the band played a spectacular career-spanning set of hits and fan favorites to close out the event.Y

FILM

Speechless San Francisco Silent Film Festival returns for 21st year

By Richard von Busack

C

onsidering silent film, Lillian Gish said that it occurred to her that it looked as if cinema had worked its way backward—it seemed to be the end result of cinematic evolution instead of its beginning. The San Francisco Silent Film Festival is one of the world’s best film fests, bringing an eclectic range of rediscoveries and established classics.

Here’s the brashness of William Wellman, directing Louise Brooks as a cross-dressing hobo in Beggars of Life (1928). Here also is the subtlety of Yasujiro Ozu, in 1930’s That Night’s Wife, screening June 3, a proto-noir about a solid citizen who turns robber to buy medicine for his child.

There’s a tradition of filming in Northern California that goes back to the westerns made by Broncho Billy Anderson on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais. Thus: The recently rediscovered Mothers of Men (1917) a melodrama, filmed in Santa Cruz, about the rise of a female politician.

June 5th’s Girls Will Be Boys is a program based on author Laura Horak’s study of the elasticity of sex roles in pre-Code film.

Among the dozens of silent films at this year’s fest are two examples of the primacy of German film

in that movie era: Varieté (1925) by director E.A. Dupont and photographer Karl Freund (who later directed the Karloff Mummy).

The two collaborate on this story of circus performers at a Berlin auditorium. The would-be Boss of the place (Emil Jannings) is lured away from his wife by a new arrival (Lya De Putti). The love story is almost secondary to the daring innovations in camerawork, which made this an international success.

As a rule, if anyone has seen just one silent film, it’s Metropolis. But before Fritz Lang created his futurethemed allegory about Weimar Republic anxieties, he made the romance Destiny—aka The Weary Death (1921): A nobly-told, fatalist story of a wager between Death and a grieving lady, played out during three historical episodes. It’s an expressionist Intolerance, made right before the creation of UFA, the German film studio that rivaled and often surpassed Hollywood.Y The 21st San Francisco Silent Film Festival takes place June 2–5 at The Castro Theatre, 429 Castro St., San Francisco; 415/621-6120; silentfilm.org.

Conchita (Regina Morones, left) and Palomo (Rio Martinez) share a quiet moment in ‘Anna in the Tropics,’ currently on stage at the Barn Theatre.

THEATER

Rough terrain Ross Valley Players take on ‘Anna in the Tropics’

By Charles Brousse

N

ilo Cruz’s Anna in the Tropics is a steep mountain to climb for any theater company, especially one that is communitybased and has an audience that is perhaps unaccustomed to this kind of material. Yes, the script took home a Pulitzer Prize in 2003, but that recognition is based more on literary merit than the ease of bringing it to life on stage. Recognizing this, producers at small nonprofit venues around the country are reluctant to add Anna to their season schedules— which is a shame because Cruz’s drama skillfully explores some important elements in our history and deserves a wider audience.

With this background, one has to congratulate the Ross Valley Players (RVP) for putting on their

boots and hiking up the mountain as far as they have in the production currently on view in the company’s Barn Theatre.

Why is the play such a challenge for a theater company like RVP? I think the answer can be found in three words: Ethnicity, passion and style. As for ethnicity, Anna is a true expression of Hispanic culture, and there aren’t many Hispanic actors in the white American suburbs. In fact, there aren’t many Hispanic actors around, period—particularly ones whose craft is well-developed enough to convincingly portray Cuban exiles living in Florida in 1929. You have to have a certain look, body movement and voice.

If you’ve ever watched a series episode on Telemundo, or seen a play by Federico García Lorca,

you’ll know what I mean by “passion.” It oozes out of every pore of the characters, sometimes romantically, sometimes in heated arguments over (in Anna) an issue as seemingly inconsequential as the quality of a newly introduced cigar, sometimes blood red. That’s not easy for laid-back products of American culture—performers, or audiences—to identify with.

Finally, the Hispanic literary tradition from Miguel de Cervantes to the “magic realism” of Jorge Luis Borges and his latter-day followers operates in a stylized world in which logic often gives way to unexpected, frequently confusing twists and turns in the narrative, frequently accompanied by lyrical, quasi-poetic dialogue.

Given these hurdles, RVP’s Anna at least captures the essential core

of the play. In the opening scene, Cruz establishes his two main themes. On one side of the stage, alcohol-enflamed Santiago (Mark Albi), patriarch of the family that owns a small factory in Ybor City, Florida, famous for its handcrafted Cuban-style cigars, joins a few other men as they boisterously cheer their favorites in a cockfight.

When his choices lose, he borrows money from his half-brother Cheche (Ben Ortega), putting up part ownership of the property for security. Another loss sets up an intense family struggle. Cheche favors modernization of the firm’s production methods—including a switch from hand to machine wrapping and other changes that will increase productivity, but also eliminate jobs and long-established traditions. But Santiago, backed by family members, firmly defends the old ways.

On the opposite side of the stage, Santiago’s wife Ofelia (Hallie Frazer) and their two daughters, Conchita (Regina Morones) and Marela (Neiry Rojo) excitedly await the imminent arrival of their new lector. This is one of the customs carried over from Cuba—using an educated reader who can entertain and enlighten the workers as they go through the tedious work of rolling cigars. Their anticipation is amply rewarded when Juan Julian (William H. Bryant, Jr.) appears.

He’s well-dressed, handsome and smooth of manner and voice.

His choice of reading matter is Tolstoy’s great romantic novel, Anna Karenina (thus the play’s title) and within days, most of the workers— especially the women—are caught in its thrall. One major exception is Cheche, whose wife left him for a previous lector. That fact, and a frustration-driven sexual assault on Marela that puts him in disrepute, lead to the play’s tragic ending.

Returning to the metaphor that began this review, under Mary Ann Rodgers’ direction, RVP’s production threads its way up through a mountain of passion and intrigue until, given the challenges mentioned, it can go no further.

Sometimes, reaching the top isn’t all that important.Y

Q:

By Amy Alkon

Goddess

You’ll probably think I’m messing with you, but I swear I’m not. I am a man who has no desire to have sex. I was married, but after my wife got pregnant with our second (planned) child, we never had sex again. I just had—and have—no desire to do anything sexually with another person. I have now been divorced for 11 years and celibate for almost 21. Since my divorce, I have never hooked up or even gone on a date. I don’t want to. Sometimes, I have an urge to masturbate, but I have no desire to involve anybody else. I simply don’t get why there is all this kerfuffle about sex. I see no reason to ever have sex again.—Curious As To Your Reaction

A:

Like many men, you’re looking to emulate something you saw in porn— only it’s the coffee table in the background.

Though you refer to yourself as celibate, celibacy is a behavior a person chooses—a decision to fight off the urges that most people have to hop on another person and do the humpus rumpus. What you have is a feeling—a longing for sex on a par with the enthusiasm of a guest at a trendy cocktail party being offered a slightly squirming sushi appetizer: “Uh, thanks, but don’t mind if I don’t.”

Assuming that you’ve been checked out by a doctor for any possible medical issues, chances are that you’re “ace”—as people who are asexual like to call themselves. Asexuality is a sexual orientation—that of a person who, as social psychologist Anthony Bogaert puts it, has “a lack of sexual attraction or desire for others.”

Asexuality is pretty uncommon. According to a survey that Bogaert did in the U.K., maybe 1 percent of the population has an asexual orientation. (This estimate may be on the low side, as it was done in 2004, long before the varieties of sexuality and gender began rivaling the choices in the salad bar at Souplantation.)

Asexuality plays out in varied ways. Some asexuals lack any interest in sex, finding it about as appealing as having another person stick a finger up their nose repeatedly (while panting, moaning and shrieking in ecstasy). Others sometimes have urges for sexual release; they just have no desire to expand their dating pool beyond their hand. So, while sexual attraction involves noticing another person and wanting to do all sorts of sex things with them, asexuals might find a person aesthetically pleasing but are generally as sexually interested in them as most of us would be in an adding machine or a potato.

There are those who contend that asexuality is a physical or psychological disorder. And sure, some people probably use asexuality as a cover for unresolved issues or for shock value—like my (decidedly straight) sister did in coming home from college freshman year and announcing to my conservative Republican mother, “I think I’m a lesbian.” My mother handled this perfectly: “That’s nice; please put out the plates for dinner.”

Clinical psychologist Lori Brotto explains that asexuality doesn’t meet the psychiatric bible’s criteria for an arousal disorder—physiological impairment or distress at the lack of attraction to others. Research by Brotto and others also finds that asexuals, in general, don’t seem any crazier than the rest of us and have normal hormone levels and normal arousability, reflected in erectile function and vaginal lubrication. As one asexual put it: “I did, you know, test the equipment … and everything works fine, pleasurable and all; it’s just not actually attracted to anything.’’

Some asexuals get into relationships with other people because they want a partner and/or a family. (They’re asexual, not aloving.) The problem comes if they don’t disclose that their sexual orientation is, “Do you mind if I read while you do that?”

As for your situation, if you don’t feel there’s anything missing from your life, well, yay for you. But consider the “self-expansion” model for romantic relationships, by psychologist Arthur Aron and his colleagues. It confirms what many of us intuitively understand: In addition to the ways a relationship challenges people emotionally, it expands who they are as individuals through exposure to their partner’s ideas, identity, possessions and social circle.

You might be able to have that sort of partnership—with a girlfriend who likes the same hot stuff you probably do in bed (microwaved Chinese food). You can connect with like-minded individuals on the big forum for asexuals—AVEN, the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network (asexuality.org). You might make some friends, and who knows … you might even meet the woman of your dreams—one who can’t wait to go home with you for a long night of meaningless Scrabble.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

For the week of June 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The voices in our heads are our constant companions. They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, since the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news, Aries. Now here’s the good news. In the coming weeks you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core—the wise guide that is often drowned out by all of the noise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): We are inclined

to believe that the best way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above. The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze. The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape. But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful. What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused.

Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What is missing from bird’s-eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I foresee fertile

chaos in your immediate future, Gemini. I predict lucky accidents and smoldering lucidity and disciplined spontaneity. Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories. Your intentions will not fit into neat categories. You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope that you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions that you encounter. Love your life exactly as it is!

Methodical improvisations will be your specialty.

Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks. “Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to

many sources on the internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English. But my research suggests that it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster. Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “To wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.” If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I’m debating about

which of your astrological houses will be your featured hotspot in the coming days. I’m guessing that it will come down to two options: Your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility, as well. Now here’s the trick ending, Leo: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time. Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Between now

and July 25, there’s a chance that you will reach the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain.

You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach.

It’s possible that you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood. Think I’m exaggerating, Virgo? I’m not. You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years. And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another

By Rob Brezsny

unlikely or monumental feat. Congratulations in advance!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “My mother gave birth to me once, yeah yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.”

I’m sure she is not demeaning her mom’s hard work, but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself ? From where I stand, it looks like the next 12 to 15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention.

And right now is an excellent time to get a lightningflash glimpse of what the New You might look like.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use. “Pain serves a purpose,” she says.

“Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, Scorpio, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing. Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances that you have been tolerating.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.” I recommend this strategy for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-of-a-kind people, things and events. Be so empty that you have ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations. As James Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “No gift is ever exactly right for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you. Two gifts would be better; three sublime.

Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success, or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.” Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Life will invite you to explore the archetype of the Ethical Interloper in the coming days. The archetype of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing. I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways. You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I Am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.” During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news: Few of us are. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to refine your practice. Here’s a good place to start: Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired and give love when you’re lonely.Y

Homework: Psychologists say that a good way to eliminate a bad habit is to replace it with a good one.
