››LETTERS Support democracy!

Remove the democratically elected official from office!

It must be confusing to be in the alternative media these days especially when your position is to defend the status quo. Although the vast majority of local residents oppose locating 70 percent of all affordable housing for unincorporated Marin in our 5.78 square miles, some are uncertain whether to support the recall. Most of us support a fair share of affordable housing that respects wise land use, is financially sustainable, healthy for families and provides diversity within the community.

Susan Adams has refused to meet in a true public “Town Hall” to discuss the 25 year plans for our community. We need responsive political leadership. Our only democratic option is a recall.

Stephen Nestel, Save Marinwood

This pretty much, er, hits the target I will protect to the death the rights of murdering psychopaths to obtain high powered weapons so that they can be isolated and neutralized with guns. Is that the current narrative?

Harold Ball, Mill Valley

Chivalry is not dead!

Nikki is correct [“You Get What You Pay For,” May 31] and John B’s exception [that many people misrepresent their looks in online dating profiles] is wrong—yes, even with deception the man should just suck it up, pay for the meal and never see that 80-year-old (fat woman) again. I also have found Marin women who see themselves as higher on the we-know-what scale than they actually are.

There is a certain level of entitlement that Marin women feel. Maybe it’s the BMW and

the Nordstrom card they got in the divorce.

Or maybe they just never cross the Bridge to the City. A 4 is only better than a 10 in golf, ladies.

Jerry Bernstein, Mill Valley

This oughta take the wind out of their sails...

Whenever the government has a fantastically successful program (which usually even surprises them), they figure out 10 ways from Sunday on how to kill it. The Larkspur Ferry is a prime example. People are using the ferry, and there is not enough parking spaces to accommodate all the cars of the ferry customers. So, what do the brains at the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District come up with? Let’s charge for parking, this will piss off the customers and add more money to our bank account. It will not add one more parking space to the lot. But they don’t care. Kaiser Permanente in Terra Linda had the same problem; they built a multistory parking structure—problem solved. If the transportation yahoos can find money for the SMART train, bike lanes all over the county, buses that carry three passengers on little used routes....they can float a bond for the structure.

‘At the table where fear eats the soul, human kindness doth not set’−John Milton On May 30, I attended the meeting about the One Bay Area Plan at the Supervisors’ chambers. I attended a similar meeting about 30 years ago by a group called “Marin 2000.”

Making a fair comparison, I can only say that the meeting 30 years ago was much more civil. The May 30 meeting’s flavor was one of hostility and fear. But the goal seemed to

be the same. Keep Marin white, well-heeled and afraid. One of the slides showed a 1930s apartment house, and it was described as “second-class housing filled with second-class people.” This would have solicited hisses at any other meeting, but this bunch applauded.

My brother lives in a community where the only people of color you see are at the bus stops, or passing by in landscapers’ trucks. I don’t care to live in one of those communities, and I don’t. And the sound that keeps humming in the background is, “My property values...my property values...my property values.” Where is the humanity?

Richard McKee, Santa Rosa (former Marin resident)

The One Bay Area meeting takes an alarming turn...

Climate change ignorance is bliss Last week I attended the Marin Economic Forum’s debate about the One Bay Area Plan.

I was one of the 18 who raised their hand in support of the programs, and was opposed by over 200 who didn’t.

They had a good time. Laughter rung the chambers...the two gentlemen who spoke to the comfort of our life with the auto and our single family homes were clever, and raised questions about a number of concerns, starting with global warming. In terms of that, they said our greenhouse gas emissions are decreasing because of new fuel standards.

And they are decreasing to 1990 standards.

Everyone was so relieved to hear that. They also showed the future in transportation. It is the driverless car. You can tell your car to take you to work, and you can be in the back seat, and working on your computer. When it arrives at your work place, you get out and tell it to go find a place to park. When you are ready to go home, it picks you up at the front door. You could even put your dog in the car, and it can go to the vet without you! That got laughter, and some serious applause.

And the Plan’s proposed great small urban mixed-use spaces, that can mimic neighborhoods of Paris, and are possible to create when the auto isn’t a player, was reduced to “stack and pack.” Transit was ridiculed as a failed and expensive boondoggle. And when it came to the plan they were told to just say No! No! No! Marin Supervisor Steve Kinsey was great.

He represented our side clearly and gracefully.

They weren’t buying, and as things devolved, pretty intense jeering filled the chamber.

This crowd deeply believes these policies are insane, and filled with bureaucratic bloat and

control.

They choose to ignore the 500 scientists from Berkeley and Stanford that have recently warned us of pending catastrophic climate change. Unfortunately, contrary to the “feel good speakers,” Marin plays a significant role as our carbon footprint is higher than the national average, and two-thirds of it emanate from the tail pipe. They choose to ignore Napa Supervisor Mark Luce saying this is state law, and if you don’t adopt a plan the state will do it for you. They choose to ignore the discussion of the ageing community’s lack of transportation as well as housing. Immigration got the biggest rise of all. The example of the crime-filled emigrant ghettos of France and Sweden was raised by the two “everything is fine” advocates, and this was not something we wished to have happen here. As a result racism reared its ugly head, and was completely rejected, yet the European models remained in our minds.

The meeting didn’t reflect a nationwide survey from the Urban Land Institute which highlights the big demand for transit-oriented development. The survey suggests that demand will continue to rise for infill residential development that is less car-dependent, while demand could wane for isolated development in outlying suburbs.

The survey found that among all respondents, 61 percent said they would prefer a smaller home with a shorter commute over a larger home with longer commute. Fifty-three percent want to live close to shopping; 52 percent would prefer to live in mixed-income housing and 51 percent want access to public transportation.

As the experience, thankfully, was ending, Kinsey again expressed they weren’t giving up local control and no city or the county was compelled to do anything the plan advocated.

Few listened.

Allan Nichol, San Rafael

Why worry about climate change, if we’re all going to be zooming around in robocars in the none-too-distant future?

That’s what you get for ferreting around with the remote control...

I am hearing impaired, and so my TV has closed captions. Sometimes the inherent and unintentional captioning glitches can be funny—and true. For instance, recently the word “whistleblowers” came out as “weasel blowers.” That’s about how they’re treated, too, sadly!

Oyster’s legal pearl loses its sheen For every Cause of Action, there is an equal and opposite reaction...

by Peter Seidman

W

ith a court decision in the offing that could end operations at the Drakes Bay Oyster Company, advocates on both sides of the debate about whether the operation should remain in Drakes Estero say the case could have wideranging implications.

The ripples of the case surfaced in a big way recently when the Oyster Company severed ties with a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that had been providing legal counsel.

The nonprofit, Cause of Action, which has connections to the Koch brothers, went too far when it attacked a Public Broadcasting System NewsHour segment on the oyster farm’s battle to remain operating. Cause of Action, upset at what it thought was a story biased against the oyster operation, sent a lengthy letter to PBS. The letter included a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to turn over video and sound recordings conducted for the report.

For those who want the oyster farm to end its operations, the Cause of Action aggressive maneuver highlighted what they say is a connection between the oyster farm issue and a right-wing agenda. PBS has long been a target of the right, which has lined up behind the Oyster Company. The same right-wing contingent has been a vocal critic of the Na-

tional Park Service, the Interior Department, and, of course, the Obama administration.

The battle over the Drakes Bay Oyster Company rolled all of the right-wing consternation about big government into one easily digestible ball for right-wing aficionados.

But the aggressive Cause of Action FOIA request was a bridge too far for the Oyster Company. Kevin Lunny, owner of the Oyster Company, wrote a letter to PBS stating he thought the PBS report was biased against the oyster operation, but he didn’t support the Cause of Action tactic. Lunny’s wife, Nancy, and Corey Goodman also signed the letter. Goodman, a scientist, is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He’s also a West Marin organic rancher. Since 2007, he’s been looking into the National Park Service’s move to end oyster operations and return the estero to as close to wilderness as possible. One thing is certain for the Park Service and Oyster Company opponents: The oyster operation must go.

Goodman and the Lunnys addressed their letter to the PBS ombudsman after learning about the May 17 Cause of Action FOIA request. “Regrettably, all three of our names were cited in the Cause of Action letter as if we condoned it, which we did not, and as if it was submitted on our behalf, which it 10 >

Berry eaters not out of the hepatitis woods yet, say health officials County health officials continue to monitor concerns about a statewide outbreak of acute hepatitis A linked to the consumption of Townsend frozen berries sold at Costco stores—including its Novato location. Not a single case has been reported in Marin—but the outbreak was reported throughout eight western states beginning June 1.

As of June 14, as many as 48 people—almost all adults—had developed the infection after ingesting Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend of berries purchased from Costco stores. Although no deaths have been reported or tied to the infection, 19 patients have been hospitalized statewide and a total of 99 people have been sickened.

According to Costco officials, 3,148 bags of the potentially contaminated frozen berries may have been sold by the Novato Costco between late February and late May. The product was removed from shelves in May and Costco offered on-site vaccinations until the store ran out of vaccine on June 7, due to heightened demand at the Novato location.

Symptoms of acute hepatitis A include yellow eyes or skin, abdominal pain, pale stools and dark urine. Costco continues to urge potentially exposed consumers to call the store for more information or contact the Marin County Immunization Clinic at 415/473-4400 for further advice about vaccinations. —Stephanie Powell Night Stalker suffered from lymphoma, substance abuse Serial killer Richard Ramirez died earlier this month due to complications from B-cell lymphoma, according to the County Coroner’s Office. The 53-year-old San Quentin death row inmate known as the Night Stalker was also suffering from chronic substance abuse and a chronic Hepatitis C viral infection, according to the Coroner’s investigation.

Ramirez died June 7 at 9:10am from what prison officials first described as “natural causes” while receiving “medical treatment” at Marin General Hospital in Greenbrae. Later that day the coroner’s office announced an investigation to determine the specific cause of death.

Ramirez had been on San Quentin’s death row since 1989, after he was convicted of 13 counts of murder, five attempted murders, 14 sexual assaults and 11 burglaries which mostly took place over a two-year rampage in 1984 and 1985. Ramirez earned his “Night Stalker” sobriquet due to his modus operandi of sneaking into victims’ homes under the cloak of early morning darkness—and strangling, shooting or cutting the throat of his victims. Satanic pentagram symbols were left at some of the crime scenes.

He was captured in 1985 after a seven-car police chase; while fleeing his pursuers, Ramirez attempted a last-ditch car-jacking, but was wrestled down by several citizens who subdued him and beat him with a pipe. —Jason Walsh Marin Community Foundation drops from Grady Ranch project Citing uncertainties over state and federal funding, the Marin Community Foundation announced today it was suspending its partnership with Skywalker Properties to develop affordable housing in Lucas Valley.

Foundation President Thomas Peters said that after MCF assessed the financial parameters of bringing lower-income housing to the Star Wars filmmaker’s Grady Ranch property, it wasn’t clear if the foundation could cover the “considerable costs of preparing the land and building the housing.”

“I am disappointed that the economics are so challenging and sincerely hope that other models can be developed that will bring the project to fruition,” said Peters in a press statement.

Lucas and the Marin Community Foundation have been pursuing an affordable housing development on an eight-acre parcel of his Grady Ranch property for more than a year. 10 >

Code Red Is the Marin County Fair dress code cloaked in racial bias?

by Jacob Shafe r

T

he Marin County Fair dress code is vague, unconstitutional and could open the door for racist enforcement, according to a letter submitted to the Marin County Board of Supervisors by the American Civil Liberties Union. Clearly the supes disagree—after reading ACLU’s letter and hearing testimony, they unanimously approved the dress code this week.

“This measure raises significant concerns with respect to constitutional standards and racial profiling, an issue not new to Marin County,” reads the ACLU’s letter. The letter cites a recent Pacific Sun story about racial disparities in county marijuana arrests—in Marin, blacks are more than four times as likely as whites to get busted for pot—and warns that the dress code will exacerbate this “disparate enforcement pattern.”

How? According to ACLU, the dress code—ostensibly aimed at curbing gang activity—is too open-ended and allows law enforcement “total discretion.”

“If the [dress code] designates gang colors, then a person wearing a single piece of proscribed clothing cannot associate with another person wearing a single item of

proscribed clothing,” the letter states. “So, hypothetically, if a person wearing a red t-shirt says hello to a friend wearing a Giants cap, they have violated the ordinance.”

And, ACLU argues, “If past history is any guide, young white people can wear red or blue garments and their Giants and 49ers caps and t-shirts with far less fear and likelihood that they will be singled out by peace officers than African-Americans or Latinos.”

In 2002, the Sonoma County Fair saw its anti-gang dress code struck down in court.

Marin’s Department of Visitors and Cultural Services was surely aware of that fact when they requested a dress code here, but in ACLU’s view Marin’s ordinance raises “similar constitutional questions.”

Some supervisors expressed reservations before casting their “aye” votes, and the board asked for a post-fair report.

Only time will tell whether racial bias will come into play, and whether the dress code will hold up in court. What is certain is that, when the Marin County Fair kicks off July 3, civil-rights activists, local officials and the media (including us) will be watching. < Make contact with fair Jacob at jacobsjottings@gmail.com.

VThough Mt. Tam was alive with the Sound of Music, would True Heitz and her granddaughter hear a note of the sold-out Mountain Play? The 74-year-old Mill Valley grandmother and her 12-year-old progeny purchased their tickets in advance, but there was a showstopper on the day of their adventure: The tickets were lost. True believers in magic, they boarded the shuttle up the mountain and hoped it would work out. Neither discussed their predicament on the bus, yet the woman in front of them turned and offered them a ticket. Moments later, the couple behind them asked, “Would you like another ticket?” Grandmother and granddaughter loved the play and felt grateful for the generosity of their fellow theatregoers. Now that’s music to our ears.

WLittle boys may be made of slugs and snails and puppy dogs’ tails, but some grow up to into thugs and cocky males with horrible tales. A crowd of pedestrians recently waited to cross the street in San Rafael.

When the light turned green, a group of teen boys pushed through the crowd, knocking down a 71-year-old woman, who ended up with a black eye and a hurt arm. Two other adults also fell, due to the actions of the aggressive teens. Worse yet, with three people on the ground, not one of those boys had the good sense to stop to help. We suggest that this adolescent pack spend the summer grounded at home until they learn how to play well with others.

was not. We only learned of it after the fact, and on May 22 we asked Cause of Action to retract the letter and FOIA request, which they did.”

In 2007, at the request of Supervisor Steve Kinsey, Goodman started investigating the actions the Park Service was taking in its move to oust the oyster farm. He says he found a disturbing pattern of scientific misconduct. He filed a Data Quality Act complaint about an alleged inexact scientific inquiry. He and other critics of the Park Service say the agency engaged in outright misconduct in an attempt to build a case against the oyster farm.

The Park Service fudged facts when it compiled environmental hazards allegedly associated with the oyster farm, said supporters of the oyster farm. That charge still resonates. But while oyster farm supporters claimed the Park Service had skewed scientific results to prove what it already wanted to hear—negative environmental consequences—a Department of Interior study cleared the Park Service of intentional misconduct. “The factual record firmly supports conclusions that there was no criminal violation or scientific misconduct, but the Park Service is an organization and through its employees made mistakes which may have contributed to an erosion of public confidence.” That’s an understatement.

Goodman says Cause of Action worked on the Data Quality Act complaint. The organization also took up the Oyster Company’s controversial attempt to extend its lease in Drakes Estero. That led to a case now in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The court will soon issue a decision on whether the oyster operation may continue while Kevin Lunny pursues the case, which charges that former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the Interior Department erred in putting a spike in the oyster farm lease.

The issues about environmental effects of the oyster farm and minutiae of jurisdictional disputes became entwined in a political battle of wills that reached a crescendo with the Cause of Action FOIA request. At that point, Goodman and the Lunnys had to bail, or at least set Cause of Action adrift. They haven’t abandoned their battle to keep the oyster farm operating, but they have severed their connection with Cause of Action.

“Along the way, some in the media have repeatedly aired accusations that we are part of some conspiracy to destroy parks and wilderness,” the letter to PBS states. “Nothing could be further from the truth. We are environmentalists and agriculturalists. We also believe in working landscapes, the collaboration of sustainable agriculture while protecting the environment, and maintaining the character of our community.”

Opponents of the oyster operation beg to differ, and they think the outcome of the 10 PACIFIC SUN JUNE 21 - JUNE 27, 2013

showdown on Drakes Estero could have national consequences for the country’s national parks.

The controversy goes back to 1972 and a reservation of use agreement between the National Park Service and the Johnson family, which at the time was operating the oyster production enterprise, which had existed on the site for about 100 years. The reservation of use (and a special use permit) allowed oyster farming on the site for a maximum of 40 years. The agreement came after the Park Service bought the property and in essence leased it back to Johnson’s Oyster Company. When the Lunny family took over the oyster operation in 2004, the oyster farm came with the reservation of use agreement and special use permit that allowed operation until November 2012. It also came with significant challenges to deal with public health, building code and other violations. Assuming those liabilities cost major money, as did expanded production.

The Drakes Bay operation today accounts for about half of oyster production in the state, according to supporters of the oyster operation. Opponents of the oyster farm say that number is too high, but there’s little question that Drakes Bay produces a lot of oysters.

Supporters of the Oyster Company say the Park Service early on intended to force Lunny off of his oyster operation, even before the end of the lease. Opponents of continuing oyster farming say Lunny is a savvy businessman who knows how to gather political support to press his interests.

He certainly did that when he enlisted the support of Senator Dianne Feinstein, who in 2009 inserted a rider into an Interior Appropriations Act that gave former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar the right to grant a 10-year lease extension. Feinstein has been a strong supporter of allowing the oyster company to remain in Drakes Estero. Her move to give Salazar the authority to decide the fate of the oyster operation came amid dueling scientific reviews investigating whether the oyster operation was beneficial or harmful to the environment. Feinstein’s gambit backfired when, in November 2012, Salazar issued an opinion that the oyster farm should end operations.

“This is about a contract and a policy,” says Neal Desai, associate director for the National Parks Conservancy Association, Pacific Region. “If the parks aren’t allowed to implement policy, and they have to just grant permits, even when a lease expires, I think our park service is going to be in a very dire situation.”

National parks across the country are wrestling with a potential encroachment of private interests seeking to run operations in national parks. Opponents object to allowing profit-making enterprises to run on the public commons. Conservative Republicans have sought to loosen the federal govern-

ment’s grip on the national park system as they eye drilling and mineral rights and concession possibilities.

According to a Salazar memo that explained his decision to oust the oyster operation, “The explicit terms of the 1972 conveyance from the Johnson Oyster Company to the United States of America” included a payment of $79,200 to the company. “Under these terms and considerations paid, the United States purchased all the fee interest that housed the oyster operation. In 2004, [Drakes Bay Oyster Company] acquired the business from Johnson Oyster Company, including the remaining term of reservation of use and occupancy and was explicitly

informed ‘no new permit will be issued’ after the 2012 expiration date.” That’s the stipulation that Lunny is fighting. The decision he’s awaiting will determine whether he can keep operating while he proceeds with his case.

Salazar also wrote that his decision would set no precedent for the rest of the national park system—and for the ranches in the national seashore along the West Marin coast. Opponents of closing the oyster farm are skeptical and say if that happens, the ranches could be next.

But a lease is a lease, says Desai. “It’s a matter of taxpayer trust. All we’re asking for is honoring the [lease] agreement. Following the laws and the contracts ensures that our

< 8 Newsgrams In April 2012, Lucas abruptly pulled the plug on his long-held plans for a state-of-the-art film studio at the site when the Lucas Valley Estates Homeowners Association, which represents 174 homes southeast of Grady Ranch, threatened legal action over the project due to issues involving zoning regulations and possibly inadequate environmental mitigation measures. Lucas spokespeople followed days later by announcing a partnership with the Marin Community Foundation to explore developing low-income housing at the property.

Despite MCF dropping from the project, Lucas spokespeople stress that the company’s plans for affordable housing at the property will go forward.

“George Lucas feels that affordable housing is necessary so that people who are important in this community such as teachers, home health care workers, and nurses don’t have to live outside Marin,” says Lucas Real Estate Holdings president Angelo Garcia.

Garcia says they’re keeping their options open at this point. “Obviously we love the property and the surrounding area,” says Garcia, “so we will continue to steward this very special land with deep respect for its beauty and its potential.” —JW

Marin kids healthiest in U.S., according to study Does wealthy equal healthy when it comes to kids? Well, partly, according to a University of Wisconsin study. Marin scored a perfect 100 out of a possible 100, according to the university’s Population Health Institute, which considers such childhood health factors as birth weight, poverty, teen pregnancies and death rates for infants and children who suffer injuries.

Here are Marin’s numbers, according to the study, followed by the national average in their respective categories: Birth weight found 6.3 percent of Marin newborns at less than 5.5 pounds (national average is 7.9 percent); 10.8 percent of Marin kids live in poverty (compared with a nationwide average of 24 percent); and Marin’s infant death rate is .003 percent, with a national average of .007 percent.

Other factors include Marin’s low teen birth rate of 13.6 per 1,000 (U.S. average is 44 per 1,000) and injury death rate for kids under 19 is 8.7 out of 100,000, contrasted against 21.7 nationwide.

In the nationwide study of more than 1,200 counties, San Francisco placed second behind Marin; Sonoma County checked in at 49. While above-average income levels are a big contributor to a child’s access to health care and healthful foods, other factors in the study’s results, according to researchers, include such things as health of the birth mother, and a child’s accessibility to outdoor activity and exercise—where Marin’s temperate climate and abundance of park space certainly play a role. —JW

park system is going to be resilient for the long term and ensures that we aren’t gong to be making deals and exceptions throughout time. For many of us that’s why [Drakes Estero] is important. We know that this isn’t just about Point Reyes. It’s about all kinds of places throughout the national park system.”

Goodman and the Lunnys maintain that Salazar erred in his decision at least in part because he relied on faulty science that came from the National Park Service.

In his memo, Salazar acknowledges that he reviewed the science, which informed his decision, but he adds that Feinstein’s rider “does not require me [or the Park Service] to prepare [an environmental impact statement] or otherwise comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 or any other law”; Feinstein’s rider left the decision in the secretary’s hands. Whether that was intentional or an oversight, that’s the way it went, and Salazar went with ousting the oyster operation based on his perception of Park Service policy. And one singular fact remains: the lease Lunny signed said it would end in 2012. The lease also stipulated that the Park Service could renew it, although the agency was under no obligation to give Lunny any more time.

The FOIA request, the PBS attack, underscored the Cause of Action connection with the right-wing agenda. Dan Epstein, the

head of Cause of Action is a former staffer at the Charles G. Koch Charitable foundation. Epstein also served as an attorney for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, headed by California Republican Darrell Issa. The committee has spent long hours on several investigations of the Obama administration. One of those investigations targeted the National Park Service and its actions related to the Drakes Bay Oyster Company.

According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, Cause of Action has written letters to groups that receive federal money, warning them they may have violated lobbying laws. The tactic aims to stifle charitable advocacy work, say the nonprofits.

According to Goodman, the PBS FOIA request was the first time that he and the Lunnys saw something from Cause of Action that disturbed them. Until then, the two young Cause of Action lawyers working on behalf of the oyster operation were straightforward and nonpolitical. But the FOIA request was too much. “We jettisoned [Cause of Action] without hesitation,” says Goodman.

But Desai notes that two right-wing organizations are still in the fray: the Kochbrothers-funded Pacific Legal Foundation and Americans for Prosperity. Goodman says no right-wing organization now has an active role in the oyster farm case. < Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com.

While some clubs are just for fun, many also support worthy causes.

The Native Sons of the Golden West is a fraternal organization that celebrates the spirit of the Gold Rush days and the fortitude of the “Forty Niners.” Established in 1875, the Native Sons work to preserve California history and the needs of their local communities.

The Fairfax Parlor awards annual scholarships and supports West Marin Little League. When Samuel P. Taylor Park needed help restoring the day-use areas the Native Sons were there.

Lifelong friendships are forged in organizations like the Native Sons and young people are missing out.

< 13 Winning friends, influencing people.... enjoy the camaraderie.

Senior clubs also face resistance from stubborn baby boomers who think they are too young to be old. As a member of the boomer generation I felt that way at first, contemplating my role as the wife of a SIR member. Then one morning, as my husband and I arrived at the departure point for the SIR 24-Hour Gambling Bus Trip to Reno, one of the wives exclaimed “The kids are coming!” I suddenly felt younger. On that trip I realized seniors don’t have to carry their own bags, everything is specially priced and headliner Bob Newhart needs some new material.

The other wives and I agreed that jokes about your wife’s driving just aren’t funny anymore.

There are some clubs that really don’t have anyone new to call upon. The Retired Officers’ Wives of Marin still meet once a month but the troops are thinning. Our local military bases closed many years ago, making it unlikely that military officers would retire in Marin. If not for the fortitude of leader Dottie Kline the club might not have survived this long.

Dottie reflected on the struggles of clubs such as hers: “What a loss! There is so much support and camaraderie to be found in regularly meeting with one’s peers.” Clubs require some degree of participation and, as Dottie sees it, “... younger people are too busy with their own lives.

Most young families have two working parents and their time away from their jobs is taken up with...sports and appointments with the children and often older parents who are also in need.”

According to Dottie, veteran organizations in general are experiencing the trend.

“My ex-military son has no interest in joining a military or benevolent organization.” Not for lack of time, she explains, but for lack of interest.

While I once perceived Rotary International as a “business-mixer” organization, it seems more focused on giving back to the community. Members are socially aware and support local causes such as the child-care center, senior housing and college scholarships. So how can organizations such as the Rotary continue to grow in this era of non-participation? They need to inspire the young.

Sir Francis Drake High students are being introduced to the ideals of community service through the Ross Valley Rotary’s Interact Club, supervised by Rotarian and “School to Career” liason Roberta Dossick. Ross Valley Rotary President Tom Vallee explained that about 20 students are involved. That’s a start.

While some clubs are just about fun and some organizations are about community service with fun mixed in, volunteer organizations are about the warm feeling you get when you roll up your sleeves and get to work. Staffing the church secondhand store, delivering meals to shut-ins, pointing hospital visitors in the right direction,

saving wounded wildlife, replanting our forests...the list of volunteer jobs seems endless. And, of course, friendships are forged along the way.

Q Q Q Q Q

ENERGETIC PEGGY WALKER of San Rafael is one of the busiest retired women I know. A member of two Marin County organizations—the Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Nazareth House Auxiliary— Peggy shared her “top ten” list of reasons why people join volunteer organizations and how they benefit from the experience: 1. They want to belong to something.

2. They have extra time on their hands.

3. They want to be around people with the same interests.

4. They want to share their talents with others.

5. It expands their social life. They find friends besides their nucleus of close friends and family.

6. It makes them happier and more fulfilled people.

7. It gives them something to do...life can be boring.

8. It makes them feel younger.

9. They want to do something positive.

10. It’s like being a kid and hanging out with the gang.

Volunteering is about caring about the “other guy.”

“When you help a service organization, you feel like you are doing something good for someone else and perhaps, someday, that someone else could be you or your loved one,” Peggy explained.

Whatever the future holds, may there always be people who extend a hand in friendship to help that other guy. Sometimes a little gesture is all it takes to make another person feel better.

Dolly Frauens of the Thursday Music Club stops by my office from time-to-time bearing handcrafted, seasonally themed gifts—bright yellow crepe paper flowers in summer, a decorative pine cone at Christmas. Always well-dressed, her light grey hair swooped up, she smiles wryly, nods towards her handiwork and quips “Just what you need, right?” It always is.

There are so many opportunities to participate, to open ourselves up to friendship. Facebook may have our attention at the moment but we need more than that. New groups are emerging. Others, sadly, are ending. The Marin Retired Officer’s Wives club made the decision this spring to finally disband—the spirit was willing but there just aren’t enough of them left to keep the group going.

Still, there’s hope. I recently encountered “The Book Club”—a group of women who meet for dinner to visit and laugh (and talk a little about the book they all read)...it seemed familiar. Could they be the new “Gourmet Gals” renamed in a politically correct, non-gender way?

It would have worked for Mom. < Join Debbie at dpvilla1@comcast.net.

Applying the exact right amount of oil makes dressing a salad exciting indeed.

Vinaigrettes, I’ve had a few...

These are truly the salad days of great dressings!

by Pat Fu sco

A

whole book about salad dressings? Don’t you dare yawn! And don’t mention those shelves in the market where dozens of bottled commercial blends await, complete with stabilizers and preservatives. Michele Anna Jordan’s Vinaigrettes and Other Dressings, recently published by Harvard Common Press, will convince everyone that an ordinary daily mainstay can be a creative source for exciting foods far beyond tossed salads.

Think of vinaigrette as a new category of kitchen sorcery. When Jacques Pepin read Jordan’s book, he praised it this way: “During my many years in the kitchen, sauces were the foundation of many dishes. In our modern cuisine, dressings have replaced sauces...Michele Anna Jordan shows how to use dressings to great advantage to season, moisten, accent, highlight, and harmonize dishes from salads to first courses to main dishes— with delicious results.”

Look through the text and you’ll see what he means: each recipe is followed by suggestions for using the same dressing with meats or fish, for cooling side dishes in hot weather or saucing them in winter.

Jordan is a native Californian, now a resident of Sebastopol, who has championed the importance of using local foods throughout her career as a writer, teacher and food commentator on radio. She’s the author of 16 other books, some of them scholarly explorations of specific ingredients (Salt and Pepper, The Good Cook’s Book of Mustard) and when she suggests the kinds of staples to be used in recipes, we know they are spot on. In this new work she emphasizes her dedication to foods chosen from producers involved in righteous farming, ranching and fishing and her descriptions convince us it’s for their tastes in season as well as for their ecological virtues.

There are both old-fashioned and newfangled themes included here. I loved finding perfectly balanced combinations for fondly remembered green goddess dressing and Italian salsa verde, then being overjoyed to learn a brilliant secret addition to our local topping for crab Louis. The photo of warm potato salad with its little shards of perfectly crisp bacon made my mouth water. (There is a color shot with each 22 PACIFIC SUN JUNE 21 - JUNE 27, 2013

recipe, and each shot is non-gimmicky, honest.) Jordan brings international options to the table, too: Moroccan harissa, Indian raita, authentic aioli from the South of France. And then there are some of her originals, like Mina’s Tears dressing made with absinthe and cucumber—or vodkalaced Bloody Mary vinaigrette, a Sunday morning brunch treat.

When an incomparable flavor is the star, Jordan gives it the spotlight. (Helpful sidebars list a flavor profile for each recipe.)

Summer sweetness shines in watermelon vinaigrette, classic caprese is made only when tomatoes are perfectly ripe—if not, she finds alternative vegetables or fruits. When the season is wrong, the cook can find dozens of other dressings in the book worth a try.

Paying attention to her details guarantees flawless, delicious results.

The span of the year is celebrated in these recipes and suggestions, from the earliest spring fava beans and baby peas through summer’s intoxicating ripe tomatoes and fruits, to dried fruits and grains for colder months (farro, tabbouleh, rice and bean salads).

June is a really good time to begin learning how to master dressings. Get to a bookstore and hit the markets for their best produce…or meats…or fish.

• • • • • For something completely different, here’s Jordan’s seductive dressing that can be—aha!—a dessert as well.

We do not typically think of vinaigrette—or black pepper, for that matter—at dessert time, but this dressing is outrageously great over sliced fresh strawberries, with or without vanilla or black pepper ice cream, or, perhaps surprisingly, with classic New York cheesecake.

When selecting vinegar for this dressing, choose a Spanish sherry vinegar for a smooth, suave taste; for something a bit sweeter and more robust, use your favorite balsamic vinegar. This dressing is equally good with pasta, tomatoes, shrimp and rare lamb.

Honey-Pepper Vinaigrette Makes about 1 and 1/4 cups 1 shallot, minced 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste 1/4 cup sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon freshly cracked black peppercorns, plus more to taste 1/4 cup honey, warmed 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup shredded fresh mint (optional)

Put the shallot, garlic, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl; add the vinegar and let sit for 15 minutes.

Stir in the black pepper, honey, and olive oil. Taste, and correct for salt and pepper as needed. Fold in the mint, if using. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but is best the day it is made. If the dressing will be stored in the refrigerator, do not add the mint until ready to serve.

Note: When you crack peppercorns, the pieces are larger than when you grind them. To accomplish this, put the peppercorns in a suribachi (a ceramic Japanese mortar and pestle) and use a wooden pestle to crack each one. You can also crack peppercorns by tucking them into the folds of a clean kitchen towel and rolling over them with a rolling pin. In a pinch, wrap the peppercorns in a towel and crack them with a hammer.

Best Uses: Summer tomato salads, especially cherry tomato salads; pasta salads with baby shrimp and cherry tomatoes; grilled shrimp with or without salad greens; grilled leg of lamb, with or without salad greens; rice salads; sliced fresh strawberries.

• • • • • To give you an idea of how Jordan’s book works, here is an example of one very simple recipe and her imaginative variations for its uses.

I tend to make coleslaw at least once a week, using whatever vegetables I find at the farmers’ market. There’s always cabbage and red onion; other options include carrots, fennel, radishes, Brussels sprouts (yes, raw), green onion, celery, jicama, celery root, sunchokes, apples, raspberries, blueberries and more, depending on the season. I slice everything (except berries) using my KitchenAid food processor’s thinnest slicing blade, and I vary the dress-

ings. This one is in regular rotation, and when I use it I add a couple of big handfuls of chopped cilantro.

This dressing is also delicious with pork, especially pork tenderloin. Use it as a marinade when the meat will be oven roasted and then add more after it has been sliced and presented over couscous studded with golden raisins, roasted pistachios, pomegranate arils, and chopped cilantro.

Ginger-Mustard Vinaigrette Makes about 1 cup 1 shallot, minced 1/2 Serrano chile, minced (optional) 2 cloves garlic, pressed 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more to taste 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 tablespoon sugar Kosher salt 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2/3 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil, or 1/3 cup roasted peanut oil and 1/3 cup mild olive oil Black pepper in a mill

Put the shallot in a medium bowl, add the chile (if using), garlic, vinegar and lime juice, and let sit for a few minutes.

Stir in the ginger and sugar, season with salt and stir in the mustard. Using a small whisk or a fork, pour in the olive oil, mixing as you do. Add several turns of black pepper.

Taste, and correct for acid and salt as needed. Use within 30 minutes or refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 days.

Best Uses: Vegetable slaw; noodle salad; seafood salad; chicken salad; grilled shrimp over greens; rice, pomegranate and red onion salad.

• • • • • Undoubtedly the most important qualities of a fine vinaigrette are top quality oil and vinegar, Jordan adds a list of favorite sources near here: B.R. Cohn Winery (www.brcohn.com), Davero (www. davero.com), and O Olive Oil (www. ooliveoil.com). She also suggests going to the California Olive Oil Council site for information and a comprehensive list of certified producers: www.cooc.com. < Contact Pat at patfusco@sonic.net.

hat a weekend we have in store!

Check out the ops for some great eating and drinking around and about, from new food spots to festivities here and near.

Start with the first Marin establishment from award-winning Equator Coffee.

Owners Brooke McConnell and Helen Russell have settled into a Tam Junction spot succinctly named Equator Coffee at Proof Lab, sharing space with the Proof Lab surf shop. June 21 and 22 will mark the opening and fans can stop by for free coffee all weekend (including a tiki party on Sunday, 5-9pm)…Slightly reminiscent of a beach shack with its outdoor patio and a communal table for singles, the coffee bar will feature local baked goods, sweet and savory, from Beth’s Community Kitchen in Mill Valley and gluten-free goodies from San Anselmo’s Flour Craft Bakery.

Summer hours are 6:30am-6pm weekdays, 7am-6pm Saturday, 8am-5pm Sunday. 244 Shoreline Highway, 415/209-3733.

DRINKS FOR A CAUSE Ales for ALS is a June 21 event at Iron Springs Pub and Brewery in Fairfax (noon-closing).

This is a fundraiser for the ALS Therapy Development Institute on the East Coast and profits from sales of five ales with the same hop profile from five selected craft breweries will go to the cause. 765 Center Blvd, Fairfax.

FAIRS AND FESTS The SonomaMarin Fair in Petaluma is the first big county fair of the season, June 19-23. This year’s theme is The Dog Days of Summer with special salutes to canines including Dog Lovers’ Festival on Friday complete with the 25th annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest. This is an adventure for people of all ages and types. They can taste wines from the North Coast Wine Competition, check out entries in baked goods and preserves contests, sit in on chef demos, explore garden club beauties, eat themselves silly at food stands. Saturday is Farmers Day when there will be a definite agricultural atmosphere with old-timey activities like a pig scramble and a wild cow milking contest. Fiesta Latina is a showy part of Sunday’s Family Day. Don’t forget rides and exhibits and, well, everything you want at a summer classic. Admission is $15, $10 for those 4-12 and seniors and this covers everything except the Destruction Derby! Details: www.sonoma-marinfair.org…Closer to home, the 30th annual San Anselmo Art & Wine Festival, June 22-23, will bring crowds to the sunny main thoroughfare for wine and food and wine and art and wine and music, not to

mention kids’ play and this year’s special happening, the opening of Imagination Park—the new downtown green space (thanks, George Lucas). Exhibits from 200 artists will be on site. Hours are 10am-6pm both days.

EATERY BULLETINS Restaurant news this week calls for congratulations to Taco Jane’s. The San Anselmo source for out-ofthe-ordinary Mexican foods is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Owner Matthew Boussina, who named the restaurant after his mother, features old and new foods with specialties from Oaxaca and the Yucatan. 21 Tamalpais Ave., 415/454-6562…

Condolences to fans of another Marin Mexican spot, Cactus Cafe of Mill Valley.

It closed recently but property owners say there are restaurateurs lining up for the space...Also closed (and also Mexican), La Plancha—nee Max’s—in Corte Madera.

No word on future plans beyond a “Business for Sale” sign.

SHOP THEN SHOP SOME MORE Marin’s only totally organic-certified farmers market opens June 22 at Toby’s Feedbarn on the main street of Point Reyes Station. This is a small but mighty gathering of committed vendors who sell no products before their (perfectly ripened) time. Live music and a chef ’s visit each week make things even more fun for regulars who don’t mind the foggy mornings at all. Hours are 9am-1pm for this unique venue that is open only until local gardens cease production sometime in November.

Post-marketing pleasures abound: unique shops, galleries and restaurants where you will probably see menu ingredients from the morning stalls. Good ways to check the schedule: Facebook or www.pointreyesfarmersmarket.org. < Whet Pat’s appetite at patfusco@sonic.net.

These days, Jaffe, who has been writing and performing since age 11, is at a turning point as a young adult with seven years experience under his belt. “I would like more than anything to turn this into a career,” he says. “As a group, we’re definitely moving in that direction. But so much remains in limbo. We release our own songs on iTunes, FaceBook and SoundCloud. But we’d like it to be more official, signing with a label or finding agents and managers to take our music to the next level.

“I’m optimistic that we’re on the right track, even though in dealing with people in the music business it’s healthy to have a good dose of cynicism, because everybody likes to talk a big game. Even if they’re good people, they still talk a big game.”

“I hope it doesn’t sound too jaded, but it is easy to develop that mindset.”

Still, Jaffe has reason to be optimistic.

Growing up in Mill Valley, he used to bump into Marin record producer and keyboardist Jerry Harrison, a former member of the Talking Heads and the Tom Tom Club.

Those “chance encounters” started when Jaffe was 10. One night, Harrison caught Jaffe performing at an open-mic at the old Masonic Hall in downtown Mill Valley.

At 15, Jaffe, the newbie, and Harrison, the veteran, went into the studio together for the first time.

“He finally decided it wouldn’t be such a

bad idea to work with me,” Jaffe jokes. “That’s been very special. I’ve always been a big Talking Heads fan. I feel really lucky that was able to happen. And that it continues to happen.”

In the studio, Harrison has teamed Jaffe up with A-list session players bassist Nathan East (a frequent sideman with Eric Clapton) and former Average White Band drummer Steve Ferrone.

More importantly, Harrison has served as a mentor.

“He helped me bring my performance and songwriting to a higher level,” Jaffe says. “In the studio, the first time we recorded together, it was like a boot camp for me, in a way, learning not only how to sing, but how to act in the studio and how to interact with other musicians, both socially and musically.

“He also convinced me to form a band to perform this music—before that, I played almost entirely solo with an acoustic guitar.

Being with a band has opened up a lot of doors in terms of performance opportunities.”

And how does Jaffe want the audience to experience his music at the showcase?

“I’d sort of like it to be somewhere between a poetry reading and a mosh pit,” he muses. “I love when people listen to lyrics and something sticks with them. But I don’t like it to be too precious or delicate. I want it to be something you can groove to.” < Be precious or delicate with Greg at gcahill51@gmail.com.

A midsummer’s Film Night dream...

The stars shine down on celluloid—or is that digital?—at Film Night in the Park

by M at t hew St af f or d

T

he movies, more than the solitary diversions of boob tube and Internet, is what connects young, old, rich, poor, slob, snob, import and domestic at the most basic and humanistic level. Film Night in the Park, now in its 22nd year of bringing classic and contemporary cinema to a variety of al fresco Marin locations, combines the movies’ global-hearth appeal with that other great shared experience, the picnic. The idea is to head for a specified grassy location at dusk, unpack the fried chicken and potato salad and lemonade (or, this being Marin, the seared ahi, broccolinirabe compote and pinot grigio), settle back in an old lawn chair and enjoy the movie du nuit midst family and neighbor while the stars burn merrily overhead.

This year’s lineup leans toward 21st-century cinema and a sprinkling of Reaganera blockbusters, with the likes of Argo, Brave, Lincoln, Moonrise Kingdom and The Avengers sharing the bill with Footloose, Jurassic Park and Return of the Jedi. The season’s two standouts are Skyfall (June 22), quite possibly the best Bond flick since The Spy Who Loved Me, with Daniel Craig stalking and sneering his way from

London to Shanghai to the Scottish Highlands, and The Birds (Sept. 14), Hitchcock’s endlessly fascinating contemplation of divine retribution and the end of the world, filmed in too-sophisticated-for-itsown-good San Francisco and dangerously idyllic Bodega Bay. Both screen at an ideal new setting, the preserved historic Chinese fishing village at China Camp, which not only looks like a movie set, it served as one for 1955’s Blood Alley (star John Wayne parked his Cessna nearby at the old San Rafael airport at Medway and Belvedere).

Film Night honors the classic movie-going experience by serving up fine entertainment in a communal, shoulder-rubbing, popcorn-sharing environment far removed from the hermetic, chrome-cloistered, individually wired, rigorously sequestered lifestyle so endemic to today’s fearful world.

Join the crowd, don’t forget the seared prawn-purple basil salad and enjoy the show. Starlight included absolutely free. < Admission to all films is free, but would it kill you to make a donation? Candy, popcorn and soda pop available for purchase.

Make yourself comfy and bring along backrests, blankets, pillows and low chairs, but leave the pets at home. Further Film Night details and a complete schedule are available at www. filmnight.org or call 415/272-2756.

ViDEO ‘Affair’ to remember Robert Altman and Michael Ritchie had careers that spanned the same four decades, but both are now best remembered for “discovering” the ‘70s—Altman by his legions of admirers, and Ritchie by his handful of worshippers.

I side with the worshippers: Few filmmakers got to the bottom of the 1970s like Mill Valley’s If Semi-Tough, The Bad News Michael Ritchie.

Bears, The Candidate and Smile don’t persuade you of Ritchie’s peerless chops as a funnyman, let one of his “orphans” like AN ALMOST PERFECT AFFAIR convince you of his greater genius— no filmmaker of the day could take a moment’s fleeting charm and capsule it like Ritchie. Available from iTunes for the cost of a sandwich in the most pristine version I’ve ever seen, Affair stars Keith Carradine and Monica Vitti as movie folk who arrive at the Cannes Festival from opposite ends of the industry’s success ladder: Maria the wife of Italy’s most successful producer, and Hal schlepping two metal cases of his life’s work around to any screening room that will have him. As often happens when neglect meets idealism at the seaside, love sweeps in. Float on the swelling Georges Delerue score, savor the sunlit oceanfront cafes and listen to those longago vanished cadences of talk between friends and dealmakers. Will Ritchie ever get the love he deserves? If Vertigo can topple Citizen Kane off its perch at this late date then anything is possible. —Richard Gould

MOViES ‘Painting’ the town red Local film captures colorful world of Bolinas artist Peter Brownlee Bolinas is possibly Marin’s most interesting town. And Peter Lee Brownlee was possibly its most interesting resident. Brownlee, who died about a year ago at age 91, was a renowned local artist known as the “cake decorator” because of his thick, sensuous paint-layering technique that gave such a rich texture to the massive volume of paintings he produced—most depicting town settings across America in a style crossing Van Gogh, Bosch and something your 12-year-old brought home from Brownlee says he served in the Merchant Marine in school. His work made the cover of New WWII, and later worked on Broadway, owned a factory, was an inventor and a cowboy. He swears it’s all true, York Living; other pieces were donated to but ‘you’re a damned fool to believe a word’ of it. charities funded through Yoko Ono. He was also something of a rapscallion in a way only little children and the very elderly can get away with.

Brownlee is the focus of Marin filmmaker/photographer Wendy Elkin’s warmhearted documentary, PAINTING BOLINAS, which is partly a tribute to a truly unique artist and partly a tribute to a truly unique town. At the close of the film’s shooting (it was shot over several years), the nonagenarian Brownlee was largely confined to his disheveled Bolinas home, where he painted daily and shot the breeze with a revolving cast of regulars who seemed to wander freely in and off his property as they saw fit. The interdependence between Brownlee and his live-about help was symbiotic in a way that almost doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

Elkin wraps the film around an attempt by Brownlee and his Bolinas friends (Elkin and her husband among them) to stage a final show for the artist at the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. They pull it off, of course, and the opening reception is less triumphant, than quietly moving—a chance for his oddball courtesans to gather around their cantankerous patriarch for one final party.

Mt. Rock Bike, walk or hike up the slopes of Mt. Tam this Saturday, June 22, on your way to the Mount Tam Jam—a rock concert at the Cushing Memorial Amphitheater, creatively crafted to raise funds for the state park.

The venue is complete with a 4,000 seat panoramic view of the Bay Area, food and beverage Danny Click leads the Hell Yeahs up the mountain this Saturday. (wine/beer) booths and a lineup that will not disappoint. There will be a type of tune of everyone, from the New Orleans funk of Galactic and heartfelt blues of Taj Mahal to alt-rock with Cake and the Texas six-string of Danny Click.

This will be the first time a live music concert has taken over the mountain since the late 1960s. Proceeds from the event will help fund ranger and maintenance services, trail and bridge restoration and equipment for more expedient search-and-rescue operations.

The Mount Tam Jam will be held at the Mountain Theater Saturday, June 22, noon-7pm. Tickets range from $25 for children under 12; $50 general admission; $75 for a shaded seat with a bay view; $100 for a shaded seat near the stage.

››ADViCE GODDESS®

by Amy Alkon

Q:

My boyfriend is a very spiritual person who practices yoga, meditation, etc. He showed me a website about karezza, which basically involves deriving sexual pleasure through long, drawn-out, non-vigorous physical contact without experiencing an orgasm. It sounds nice and all, but I would greatly miss the orgasm part of sex. Well, he recently revealed that he is a recovering porn and masturbation addict.

I see from the way he talks how important it is for him that we give up traditional intercourse for karezza. I love him and want to help him in every possible way, but I’m not sure how to come to terms with giving up orgasms. —Conflicted

A:

You aren’t a bad girlfriend if you need your boyfriend to be something of an animal in bed, and not the kind found fossilized in rock.

OK, to be fair, there is some movement during karezza, just not enough that anybody participating would get anywhere near Orgasmageddon. Alice Stockham, the 19th-century Quaker doctor who came up with karezza (named for the Italian word “carezza,” meaning “caress”), argued in her 1896 book about it that orgasms “without cause” (such as the desire to make a baby) are “degrading.” Stockham called for a more “ennobling” sort of sex, “a quiet affair” that is “devoid of lustful thoughts, that is, the mere gratification of physical sensations”—or, to put it in more modern terms, 50 Shades of Reading Next to Each Other in Matching Snuggies.

Karezza does get props from practitioners, who insist they feel way more bonded to each other than when they used to give each other screaming orgasms. However, the science-y sounding claims for its benefits by some of those who publish books and articles about it seem largely unsupported by research. Also, it is not a solution to your boyfriend’s compulsions but a way to avoid dealing with the issues underlying them. As addiction treatment specialist Dr. Frederick Woolverton explains in Unhooked, at the heart of any addiction is an attempt to avoid legitimate suffering—difficult emotions which are part of being alive.

You could agree to try karezza for three weeks to see whether it works for you, and by “works,” I mean gets you thinking, “Oh, orgasms, schmorgasms.” Unless it does, it’s unfair to resign yourself to the sexual equivalent of reading a 300page crime novel...except for the last 30 pages, which you tear out and burn. And despite the spiritual window dressing around karezza, unless your boyfriend is doing as Woolverton advises—taking steps to “head straight into (his) emotional pain, which is what terrifies (an addict) the most”—what you’ll likely have on your hands is a meditating, yoga-doing, spiritual-talking boyfriend who’s only somewhat present. In other words, you support him by committing to help him deal with his feelings while he develops healthy coping mechanisms, not by replacing your “If the van’s a-rockin’...” bumper sticker with “If the van looks like it hasn’t been moved in years...”

My boyfriend and I just ended our relationship and are trying to heal and move on. This is difficult because we not only work together but are in the same building and on the same research team. I love my job and feel lucky to have it, so moving on to another workplace isn’t the answer. —Blasted With the Past It’s hard to maintain a veneer of professionalism when the plant’s loudspeaker pages you, “Employee #442, Employee #440 is drunk-dialing you on extension 2.” Unfortunately, it’s easy to end up in that situation when you don’t have the usual benefit of a breakup, which typically involves separating once and for all, not every day at the end of the workday. Give yourself concrete reinforcement that it’s over by writing down five reasons you don’t belong together, and help yourself compartmentalize at work by drawing a line down a piece of paper and listing the appropriate behaviors for “Together” vs. “Just work together.”

Because research finds that ritual is highly effective in helping people assimilate change (and because it’ll probably be comforting to have a cackle with a couple of friends), maybe have a “funeral” for your relationship and “bury” a few symbolic items from it in the nearest Dumpster. That probably sounds a bit wacky, but acting like the relationship is dead and gone and you’re moving on should help you do just that. According to British psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman, author of The As If Principle, numerous studies suggest that “the easiest, quickest and most effective” way to change your thinking isn’t by thinking about it but by acting “as if ” you’re the person you want to be—in your case, the person who’s managed to demote one of her co-workers from soulmate to paperweight. <
