››LETTERS ‘Any man can do harm, but not every man can do good to another’—Plato The cover story about homelessness in the Pacific Sun last month [“Bringing It All Back Home,” June 20] struck a personal chord with me.

You see in the 1980s, after writing and publishing my own book, Bullshit! The Media as Power Brokers in Presidential Elections, which is endorsed on the cover

by Bill Moyers and which has been purchased by every major metropolitan and university library in the western world dating back to the Fourth of July in 1988, I became homeless!

I was homeless on and off for 10 years and had 350 different addresses.

My cycle of pain ended after hooking up with a family in Novato on Easter Sunday night in 1998.

One day, while reading a book in the San Rafael Public Library, The Origins of Homelessness in the United States, I decided to join the National Coalition for the Homeless. My ex-wife, Sharon Gale, and I worked to line up vendors to supply two box lunches for several hundred homeless Chicagoans to take aboard buses to attend a weekend rally to help millions of homeless citizens gathering in our nation’s capitol.

The Origins of Homelessness in the United States, in my opinion, is well documented and what it tells us is this: Back on Jan. 20, 1981 (the day Ronald Wilson Reagan became president), there was zero homelessness in our nation!

Thirty-two years later, we now have 12 million homeless throughout our nation.

There is not one single county in the United States is without homeless residents

as pictured in the Pacific Sun in San Rafael.

In California, there are 2 million homeless and hidden and falling between the cracks, 40,000 in San Francisco and more than 9,000 in Marin County.

Thanks to supply-side trickle-down voodoo economics during the past 32 years in our country under presidents Reagan, George H. W. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, George W. Bush, and President Obama, we have created American’s number one issue!

In the Origins of Homelessness, it is well documented and footnoted that: 1. Recent statistics from the National Coalition for the Homeless clearly indicated that average homeless Americans work 40 hours a week.

2. If you do not have a first month’s rent, a last month’s rent, a security deposit, have no bank account and cannot pass a credit check, you will always be co-dependent on Homeward Bound, Ritter House, or panhandling and Dumpster diving.

Many homeless residents of San Francisco tend to hitchhike to San Rafael thinking they will be helped in Marin, the wealthiest county per capita in the United States.

Upon reflecting on our great nation’s birthday on the Fourth of July, I suggest if someone solicits you for a handout, please re-read Plato’s Republic.

In the book, he clearly states, “If you personally know someone is suffering, do not ask the government to help this individual, reach out and do everything in your power to hear that person to stabilize their life.”

Please help them manifest a home, just as my extended family did for Jeffrey Harris Gale on Easter Sunday night, 1998, here in marvelous Marin County, California.

Collateral damage I am hereby prepared to state what others have been unable and/or unwilling to articulate. Which is that our incumbent chief executive officer, a Mr. Obama of Illinois, is lame ass.

Now, why would I say that, as a righteous dude who voted for him twice? OK, well, first you have his intimate involvement in further perfecting the bogus National Security State, which has, with the aid of NSA, replaced the actual United States. Next, you have your Guantanamo, still open for business. Then, you have the possibility that Mr. Lawrence Summers, banking deregulator and coarchitect with Bubba of the Big Meltdown, may succeed Mr. Bernanke as head of the Fed when Mr. B. takes a hike in January.

That’s enough carnage for me. Ordinary people have been permanently maimed. Let us please move on to the next office holder ASAP, thank you very much.

Skip Corsini, San Rafael

The man who wasn’t there I read the Pacific Sun almost every week and almost always enjoy it. But I have to say that I thought your cover story on the Sausalito psychiatrist who espouses revenge [“It’s Not Me, It’s YOU...” July 12] was... well, it gave me a Gertrude Stein moment. There was “no there there.” I’ve read it twice, and it still strikes me as very un-Sun. Where is the content? What did the good doctor actually say? I look forward to your next issue.

Thin Blue Line could use some other colors...

I would like to second Nikki Silverstein’s “zero” [Heroes and Zeros, July 12] which felt that the police response to what was initially a DMV issue in Marin City could have been handled with a lesser show of force [“Deputy, Suspect Arrested in Bizarre Marin City Melee,” July 8].

To avoid the potential for further misunderstanding, especially in the wake of the killed-for-being-young-and-black Trayvon Martin tragedy (granted, he was the victim of a “community watchman”), it would be a positive step to have Marin and its towns hire more African-American and Latino-American officers.

Roscoe Born, Nicasio

‘The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool’—Mark Twain Recently, I made a request for documents from a Marin County agency under the California Public Records Act as part of an investigation intended for submission to the Civil Grand Jury. When it seemed that they were not going to produce the documents within the 10-day statutory period, the County Counsel asked for a 14-day extension on their behalf. If it were not for the Public Records Act, I would probably still be waiting for a look at those contracts. It is the only tool the public has to investigate government and corporate wrongdoing, yet the state Senate and Governor Brown are considering restricting this public access.

State Senator Leland Yee, SF, was the only Democratic legislator opposing these changes to the Public Records Act, saying, “Time and time again, people in government have shown that they cannot be trusted. If you don’t have this [act], you’re allowing the government to say, ‘Just trust us.’”

Please contact our state legislators and ask them to preserve our right to know and our prompt access to public records.

Alex Easton Brown, United Taxpayers, Lagunitas

Writer-critic Gertrude Stein’s famous ‘there is no there there’ quote was in reference to Oakland.

Technically, they’re NIMBYs, not ‘scapegoaters’...

I was sympathetic to the theme of the article [“It’s Not Me, It’s YOU...”] right up until the point where the good Doctor compared people that have issues with low income housing developments to “scapegoaters.”

And then the Sausalito doctor gave the example of the Sausalito resident who pushed for a unified school district, who then pulled his kids out of school, as a hypocrite. The doctor is good at identifying hypocrisy, perhaps just not his own. The last time I checked, I didn’t notice any such housing developments in Sausalito.

I always find it amusing when people pass judgment on the motivations of others, and tell us what we “ought to do,” when they don’t do it themselves.

The meaning of Marin Plan Bay Area, and the debate over the county’s core values

by Pe te r Se id man

Existential: of, relating to, or affirming existence —Merriam-Webster

T

he fierce emotions that regularly rip through meetings whenever Plan Bay Area and affordable housing are the topics of debate are understandable, if disturbing, when put in context: The county has come to a juncture where the true values of its residents, their existential boundaries, are visible, unedited and raw.

When members of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) approved Plan Bay Area late last week, the vote marked the end of a long public process.

But even now opponents of the regional planning effort show little impetus to drop their criticisms, some justified, some not.

When members of ABAG and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) voted to pass Plan Bay Area and its environmental impact report, Marin representatives on both agencies voted with the majorities—except for Pat Eklund. The Novato city councilwoman abstained from both votes. Eklund, who represents Marin cities at ABAG reportedly abstained because, she said, most cities object to Plan Bay Area. Marin Supervisor Kate Sears, who serves as a Marin representative at ABAG, voted in the affirmative for the plan and its environmental report, as did Supervisor Steve Kinsey, who serves at MTC. The process that led to the vote was marred by an often-vitriolic atmosphere at public meetings marked by yelling and screaming from Plan Bay Area opponents. The tactic is reminiscent of the strategy—or lack of it—that emerged in the Tea Party Summer, when right-wing opponents to the Affordable Care Act attempted to yell people into submission at public meetings. And even after it passed into law, opponents continue to argue their case as if it never had passed.

In Marin, the fierce opposition to Plan Bay Area in particular and a general resistance to accept a greater role for the county and its cities to provide affordable housing clouded facts that could have enhanced a rational debate about what Marinites want to see in their county— and who they want to see living in it.

Carla Condon, who serves on the

8 PACIFIC SUN JULY 26  AUGUST 1, 2013

Corte Madera Town Council, is a longtime critic of Plan Bay Area and ABAG. “The whole plan is flawed,” she says. “I wish Marin had been more resistant.”

Condon, like other Plan Bay Area critics, thinks the strategy to tie land use and transportation planning is ineffective, even counterproductive. The Corte Madera Town Council last year voted to withdraw from ABAG. Councilmembers based their decision on what they said was ABAG’s undue outside influence on the town’s planning life. They also objected to housing-need numbers that came bubbling out of the regional agency as part of a routine needs assessment and as part of Plan Bay Area.

The process to withdraw from ABAG takes a full year from the time an entity notifies the agency. That timeline came to a conclusion this month, on July 1.

“We are automatically out of ABAG,” says Condon. “There are no longer 101 cities in ABAG, there are now 100.” Condon says the county and Marin cities should form a separate council of governments to handle housing-need chores—anything ABAG can do, a Marin council of governments can do better. Withdrawing from ABAG negates the foundation of the agency’s goal of regional planning. But it’s regional planning that has generated some of the most intense heat during the Plan Bay Area meetings in Marin.

“We are part of a ... Bay Area community where Marin is considered to be so vigilant about being green,” says Condon, “and yet we’re thrown into the same basket as say, for example, San Jose. Marin is special.” Supporters of Plan Bay Area say it asks Marin to create a relatively small number of housing units compared to the more urbanized Bay Area counties, and that reflects the Plan Bay Area acknowledgement that Marin is about 80 percent open space.

Plan Bay Area seeks to encourage counties to provide their “fair share” of new housing to accommodate new residents to the Bay Area who will work at new jobs. Opponents have long said the methodology that ABAG used to arrive at the projected number of new jobs and the increase in population is faulty.

Critics who say ABAG has been unresponsive to Marin’s request to take another look at the numbers discount 10 >

Back to school ‘spree’ offered to needy students Those mid-summer “back to school!” rallying cries should sound alarm bells—but not over whether students can afford new school gear.

This year, back-to-school shopping won’t have to break the bank account for Marin families struggling to make ends meet.

In August, the Salvation Army Community Center is partnering with Target to assist 100 children through its Back to School Shopping Program.

On Saturday, Aug. 10, at the Target store in the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center in Novato, the program will provide new clothes, shoes, backpacks and school supplies for the back-toschoolers. The program requires “shopper-rones” to assist each child in the selection of suitable clothing and supplies.

The back-to-school bonanza helps nearly 12,000 children nationwide, according to the Salvation Army.

A partnership between local businesses and Marin’s own Salvation Army and Target cultivated the cost to fund the shoppers; the program is funded through local donations to the Target School Spree Program and to the Salvation Army.

The “spree” will hit the aisles early Saturday morning. To lend your fashion forward eye as a “shopper-rone” contact Ione Breen, of the Back to School Program, at 415/453-1761 or by email at ione10@comcast.net. To donate, contact the Salvation Army at 415/459-4520 ext. 10.

—Stephanie Powell Major road, more construction Frequent travelers of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard just need to keep their eyes on the smoothly paved prize once construction starts in Samuel P. Taylor Park on Aug. 1.

Nearly four miles of the road’s switchback, pockmarked path through the park will be repaved, from Irving Bridge to the east and Platform Bridge Road to the west, according to a report from the county’s public works department. Repairs also include updating 55 storm drainage culverts that feed into the creek that runs alongside that section of Drake Boulevard, where endangered coho salmon spawn. The new culverts are projected to improve water quality for the fraught coho, which have been an unwitting and divisive subject of debate over how to handle the county’s riparian habitat. This upcoming construction is the second part of a rehabilitation project that began last summer, when a 1.25-mile stretch of Drake Boulevard in Lagunitas and parts of Platform Bridge Road near Point Reyes Station were repaired. Funding for this summer’s $3.6 million project comes from a Measure A sales tax revenue designated for West Marin. —Staff report Drakes Bay must mitigate CCC violations, rules judge; can stay open during suit Drakes Bay Oyster Company isn’t clamming up just yet—but it does have to clamp down on its violations of California Coastal Commission standards, a Marin Superior Court judge ruled this week.

The Inverness-based oyster farm is in the middle of a lawsuit to reverse a federal decision not to renew its operating lease on National Park land—and this week’s ruling by Superior Court Judge Lynn Duryee did not affect the mariculture business’s ability to keep its operations running while the legal challenge is pending. The California Coastal Commission has not issued an operating permit for the farm and had sued to enforce a cease-and-desist order issued by the Coastal Commission. Judge Duryee had previously issued a tentative ruling on the matter— and Wednesday’s move finalized it.

Though it’s managed to keep operations afloat through multiple legal waves, the Drakes Bay Oyster ship still took on some water—Duryee ordered the farm to comply with a section of the cease-and-desist order, which requires the farm to remove its Manila clams from the estero, mitigate an invasive Didemnum vexillim (some call it “marine vomit”) problem, avoid protected seal habitat and address any plastic debris that comes from the farm. —Jason Walsh

from behind,” a favorite barb among the war-mongering Tea Party set.

Certainly there are reasons for Smiley to be critical of the president.

His economic policies have done little to help poor and minority Americans.

He’s ramped up the drug war and done nothing to slow the march of the racially imbalanced prison/industrial complex.

But this week our first black president stood in front of the nation and spelled out—plainly, passionately, eloquently—the too-often-ignored plight of young black men in America. The fear, prejudice and disenfranchisement they face every day. That took courage.

Period.

It’s only the beginning of a longoverdue conversation. And quite likely it won’t lead to immediate systemic change, just as mass shootings haven’t moved the needle on gun control and melting glaciers haven’t spurred massive carbon reductions. Probably it’s a symbolic moment, more than anything.

Sometimes, though, symbols matter. More from Obama’s speech: “As difficult and challenging as this whole episode has been for a lot of people, I don’t want us to lose sight that things are getting better. Each successive generation seems to be making progress in changing attitudes when it comes to race. It doesn’t mean we’re in a postracial society. It doesn’t mean that racism is eliminated. But when I talk to Malia and Sasha, and I listen to their friends and I see them interact, they’re better than we are—they’re better than we were.” < Email Jacob at jacobsjottings@gmail.com.

V “Speed Enforced by Drones” traffic signs were mysteriously posted in Marin last week on Highway 101 in Marin City and Highway 37 in Novato. The black and white reflective signs looked authentic, with professional lettering and a drawing of a missilefiring drone blasting away. The California Highway Patrol did not post the signs and claimed that they are not using drones in any capacity. After several days of wondering whodunit, Stephen Whisler, a Napa artist, came forward. We don’t often hail a scofflaw as a Hero, but we were captivated by Whisler’s creativity, humor and politics. Inspired by the recent NSA spying revelations, he wanted to give folks a sign of the times. Kids, don’t try this on your street.

California Vehicle Code prohibits unauthorized traffic signs.

W In light of the recent Trayvon Martin injustice, Marin should bend over backward to remain unbiased in the investigation of the Chaka Grayson shooting. Too bad we’re not. The Novato Police Department is handling the investigation into whether Deputy Evan Kubota of the Marin County Sheriff ’s Department had cause to shoot the unarmed Grayson during a traffic stop in Marin City. Kubota’s wife works as a dispatcher at the Novato PD. Marin County District Attorney Ed Berberian believes the Novato PD investigation will be professional and notes that his office will determine whether to bring charges. A decision based upon an investigation that smells of conflict? DA Berberian, how about convening a grand jury? Marin, where is your outrage?

ecently in this space, I’ve written a lot about race. First it was marijuana busts, and the fact that blacks are more than four times as likely as whites to get busted for pot in Marin. Then it was the Marin County Fair, and fears that an overbroad dresscode ordinance could lead to racial profiling. The fact is, Marin—like the rest of America—is still wrestling with racism, some overt, some illusive.

I bring this up because, as you probably know, President Obama delivered a speech about the Trayvon Martin shooting. In essence he told white Americans: You don’t know what it’s like to be Trayvon. To be presumed guilty. It was a deeply personal speech, and a powerful one. Here’s a snip: “It’s important to recognize that the AfricanAmerican community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn’t go away.

There are very few AfricanAmerican men who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars.”

Some on the right, naturally, squawked about divisive rhetoric and race-baiting. That’s to be expected.

Surprisingly, though, criticism also came from the left—namely, PBS talking-head Tavis Smiley.

Smiley, an African American pundit, said Obama was “pushed to the podium” only after weeks of pro-Trayvon protests and accused the president of “leading

< 8 The meaning fo Marin the reductions ABAG made in what is called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation for Marin. That’s the number of new housing units ABAG projects Marin will need in the coming years. Across the board, ABAG reduced the number of housing units as the process proceeded.

The 1999-2006 housing-need numbers for Corte Madera totaled 179 units. In the 2007-20 planning cycle the numbers bumped the total to 244, but the final 2014-22 numbers come in at 72, a reduction of 172 units, or 30 percent. For the entire county, the 1999-2016 projection totaled 6,515 housing units. The 2007-20 numbers total 4,882, a reduction of 1,633, or 75 percent. And the final 2014-22 numbers total 2,298 units, a reduction of 2,584, or 47 percent. When the housingneed numbers first came out of ABAG, officials at the agency said the numbers would get revised. Critics scoffed. But they did get revised. Those totals include affordable units as well as market-rate units. The affordable component has created an underlying negative buzz in Marin.

The housing need debate focuses the debate on what kind of values Marin residents hold in the highest regard.

For some it’s the encouragement of a vibrant and diverse population—in skin color, background and socioeconomic status—living in walkable communities along the urbanized Highway 101 corridor. For others, the paramount value lies in the single-family-home lifestyle and an amorphous “small-town char-

acter.” Still others maintain that change of almost any kind that involves adding lower-income residents is the enemy. The attitudes lie on a long scale. Somewhere in the middle is a section of compromise.

But the vitriolic name-calling and intimidation at public meetings has tended to drown out the moderates.

That kind of visceral objection to the regional planning paradigm of Plan Bay Area came to the fore in Marinwood, which has been a little ground zero for an affordable housing debate. The nonprofit Bridge Housing Corp. has proposed a development that includes 72 affordable units and 10 market-rate units. Opponents of the development say it will destroy the neighborhood. The project has been the focus of planning and public meetings for about eight years, notes Supervisor Susan Adams, who represents Marinwood. Her support for affordable housing has played a major role in a recall effort mounted by residents who say she’s unresponsive to her constituents, a charge she vigorously denies.

So much misinformation has swirled around the proposed Marinwood development it’s difficult to sort facts from fabrication. And that bending of truth has carried over to the Plan Bay Area opposition, says Adams. The Marinwood project was part of an ABAG plan to concentrate development along the Highway 101 urban corridor, a goal envisioned virtually from the start of Marin countywide plans. ABAG opponents said the agency was pressuring the county to include the

Marinwood development in what the agency calls a “priority development area (PDA).” That designation, say opponents, greases the skids for the county to build a high-density development like the one Bridge proposes.

But Adams says ABAG never led the county to the land of high-density development. Quite the opposite. First, says Adams, Marinwood was a potential PDA, not a full-fledged PDA. And even with that tentative designation, the area received $850,000 for a Lucas Valley pathway project. That’s the Plan Bay Area deal. By acceding to the need to tie land use and transportation in a regional planning package, communities can receive a transportation-funding advantage.

“We submitted the Marin site, with a cap of 100 units, to ABAG,” says Adams.

“ABAG called for cities and counties to self-identify where those areas were that would fit the criteria of being on transit corridors (a key in the planning process that stems from SB 375 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions). It was the county, not ABAG, that put the Marinwood project in the potential PDA. No outside influence.

But the seeds of confusion had been sown, leading Adams to ask county supervisors to withdraw the Marinwood project from the PDA designation.

Supervisor Kate Sears did the same, successfully, with a PDA designation in Tam Valley.

“Being in a PDA was cosmetic,” says Sears, “because being in a PDA didn’t change the zoning.” That’s the key. The Marinwood development and the PDA in Sears’ district are part of the county’s Housing Element, the update of which currently is under construction. It’s expected to go before supervisors for approval late this summer or early fall, in time to submit to the state for certification before the end of January. Missing that date could mean a loss of state funding, according to Leelee Thomas, a principal planner with the county.

“A lot of people were concerned because I think they have a notion that [the PDA] in Marinwood and Tam Valley changes the zoning,” says Sears. “Really it doesn’t.” The zoning is included in the county’s Housing Element. But the confusion sown was enough for Adams and Sears to request withdrawal of the two PDAs. “Because of all the confusion, the spin that a few individuals put on this that make it sound really scary that it is ABAG telling us what to do rather than the other way ’round,” says Adams, “I think it’s the most prudent option to ask ABAG to take [the Marinwood develop-

ment] off and remove us from the opportunities to receive extra transportationrelated funding.” The same will happen with the former PDA in Sears’ district.

Adams says she has been holding small meetings of 12 to 20 people to explain the county Housing Element process, PDAs and the submission of the Marinwood development to ABAG. During the meetings, lights of understanding turn on, she says. It’s that kind of rational, moderatetone discussion that raucous opponents drowned out in larger public venues.

Condon still objects to ABAG and the housing densities in the Plan Bay Area concept. She says the county can satisfy state housing-need numbers without what she calls high-density developments (like the one in Marinwood). But affordable housing proponents say developers need projects with enough housing units to make a project financially feasible, and not enough infill opportunities exist in the county to meet demand.

Condon disagrees. She says there are plenty of locations that can accommodate affordable housing interspersed in neighborhoods, negating the need for larger developments. She’s not opposed to affordable housing, she says. “That’s why I get so upset when people construe this as a NIMBY attitude.” But Condon and other Plan Bay Area opponents aren’t shy about voicing their not-in-my-neighborhood opposition to developments that cluster 30 units of housing on a property.

The core idea behind Plan Bay Area is to reduce reliance on the single-occupant vehicle and concentrate development along transportation corridors, a nascent one in Marin with the coming of SMART. And Plan Bay Area proponents say the climate change crisis is critical enough to take whatever steps are possible on whatever level is possible. And leaving climate implications aside, transit-oriented development yields fewer and shorter routine vehicle trips, they maintain.

There’s no doubt, however, that the pushback behind that kind of behavioral shift in Marin has gained legs. In San Rafael, opponents of a PDA in the Civic Center Area are putting pressure on the city to rethink the concept.

Plan Bay Area opponents scoff at the greenhouse gas reduction possibilities of transit-oriented development in Marin.

But for those who want to live near shops and transportation and perhaps try to forego the single-passenger vehicle, transit-oriented development looks like a good deal—for the environment and for their lifestyle. < Contact the writer at peter@pseidman.com.

Summer sleight of hand Look your best this season on the banks of the legerdemain...

by Kat ie R ice Jo n e s

W

ith summertime comes a hyperconsciousness about our bodies and it really is no

wonder.

From micromini skirts to short-shorts to diaphanous sundresses to teenie-weenie bikinis, no other season asks us to expose more of our flesh and form than summer does.

For many years I dreaded the coming of the hot season for this very reason.

Unlike most of my girlfriends, I refused to spend endless hours sweating my tail off in the gym, nor was I willing to put myself on the newest near-starvation diet to get ready for the summer’s skin parade.

To my mind, these kinds of summer prep methods took too much dedication and exertion. Even so, I still wanted to look as fabulous as my diligent girlfriends in my summer wardrobe. Alas, I never quite compared. That was until I discovered an alternative path to looking good: a path that naturally led me to my closet.

As it turns out the “right” clothes can be as transformative to your appearance as a set of gym weights or a 30-day cleanse (albeit without the health benefits). Certain clothes, either by design or by fluke, can perform sleight-of-hand slimming tricks.

These clothing items have unique characteristics that make you appear thinner when you wear them. The key to avoiding the gym or a summer diet is to understand what kinds of clothing characteristics employ this type of trickery. Here are just a few to consider wearing: Shine-free separates. Clothes with a matte finish tend to slim. While shiny and metallic pieces expand the body.

Dark colored items. While it is a bit contrary to don dark colors with the summer’s heat bearing down, wearing them will make your body look slimmer.

Dark colors, like black or navy blue, absorb light thereby visually narrowing your look. Pale colors and white reflect light producing the opposite effect.

Vertically or diagonally striped pieces. While

horizontal sailor stripes are all the rage this summer, they won’t do you any favors in the slimming department. A vertically striped pattern creates a lean, long bodyline while diagonal patterns visually narrow.

Try Anthropologies’ Intersection day dress Mid-thigh lengths in shorts and skirts. Sure the super-tight mircomini is trend-right but it’s not very democratic.

Mid-thigh length pieces like an 8-inch Bermuda short or a gathered mini skirt are just as fashionable and universally more flattering.

Try J.Crew’s Boardwalk linen skirt in polka dot Ankle-length pants. If you must wear short pants consider a slim fit, ankle length Capri over a full leg, calf length crop. While the Capri length pant can help to elongate your lower body, a crop pant makes you look short and stout.

Try Gap’s slim printed pants.

Fitted and flowy pieces. Pieces that are constructed to fit your form slim your summer body over pieces that are too tight. Tight clothing can look “outgrown,” while slightly flowy pieces can hide body issues, gracefully.

Small printed and patterned pieces.

Prints are the new black this summer but wear them small in scale. Small prints

Hip-length tops. Tops and blouses that hit at low hip, like tunics and long-bodied tees, elongate your mid-section while midriff tops widen and play peek-a-boo with your tummy.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the summer trends or your lack of exertion work against you. Take control of your appearance by selecting clothing that can perform slimming magic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to take back your summer and look good doing it. <

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t broaden the body as large prints can.

Color-blocked clothing.

When you ďŹ nd a garment with the right kind of color blocking for your unique body, buy it.

To slim and deďŹ ne your mid-section try: Vertical dark blocking down the middle of your torso with light blocking at your sides.

To enhance your bustline and slim your hips try: Bright color blocking at your upper body and dark blocking on your lower body.

arlier this month, I happened to be in England as Andy Murray was clawing his way to the top of the Wimbledon pile.

Nervous Brits had watched year in and year out as Murray, the only player from Great Britain who had the talent to succeed in this very English tournament, hovered on the edge of winning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but ultimately failed. Last year he even made it to the finals and the British public was holding their breath and crossing their fingers... but he lost in a very emotional game, disappointing an entire nation. This year his number was finally up and he prevailed over Novak Djokovic to be the first male Brit in 77 years to get his name on the Wimbledon trophy.

Wimbledon heralds the beginning of summer throughout England and along with that come cerAnyone for Pimmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? Allegedly, only six tain food and drink people know the recipe for the gin elixir. traditions.

My introduction to the traditional pitcher of this refreshing summer drink came at the hands of my niece and her fiancè. They created pitchers of the teacolored drink, replete with colorful slices of floating fruits and herbs, for a festive family party.

The sun was out, the weather warm and the tables groaned with scones, clotted cream and jam, tea sandwiches, Victoria sponge and bowls of strawberries. Tall glasses with a couple ice cubes each were filled to the rim with the Pimmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cocktail, and gratefully downed as the mercury climbed. Nothing seemed quite as quenchable on such a perfect day.

The rest of that week there always seemed to be a pitcher of Pimmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around and it always seemed like a good idea to sip a glass as the sun started its slow descent on the horizon or as the family watched Andy M. hustling around the court. The citrus and mint and cucumber added just the right touch of freshness and it tasted like summer in a glass.

Back home again, we watched Murray serve and return again and again during his final match with Djokovic. We watched the crowd edgily fingering their glasses of Pimmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Then, finally, we celebrated with them as the hope of a nation came to fruition and Murray hoisted the Wimbledon

“W

Doe will perform Sunday at the Far West Fest in Pt. Reyes Station as part of a lineup that is heavy on jam and jazz bands, including ex-Meters drummer Zigaboo Modeliste and the New Aahkesstra, Lebo and Friends (featuring members of ALO and the Motet), the Sam Chase, FogDub, and Beso Negro, among others.

The annual event, held at Love Field, is a fundraiser for KWMR-FM, a small community radio station located in Pt. Reyes Station and serving West Marin.

Doe, a founding member of the seminal L.A. punk band X, will be joined onstage by his new band of San Francisco musicians: pedal-steel player Tom Heyman (Chuck Prophet, Penelope Houston), bassist Atom Ellis (Link Wray, New Cars) and drummer Bill Shupp.

Later this fall, Doe can be seen in two new movies. He has a small role in Electric Slide, about furniture salesman-turned-bank robber Eddie Dodson; and he can be seen more prominently in Pleased to Meet Me, scheduled to screen at this year’s Mill Valley Film Festival. It features Doe and fellow musicians Amy Mann, Loudon Wainwright, and Joe Henry, among others.

Doe portrays record producer Jon Langford of the Mekons.

But, for now, Doe is most excited about his new band.

“This is a really versatile rock band, not exactly an indie-rock band, maybe more like a folk-rock band,” he says. “Maybe I’m splitting hairs, but it’s really cool.

This former member of Commander Cody’s Lost Planet Airmen, became a staple on the Marin music scene in ‘70s and ‘80s as a member of the Moonlighters. He’s had a string of solid solo albums, and backed Nick Lowe on that British pub-rocker’s epic 1994 comeback The Impossible Bird. Here Kirchen is joined by bassist Maurice Cridlin and drummer Jack O’Dell, plus such guest artists as guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and local keyboardist Austin de Lone. The album is produced by British pub-rock luminary Paul Riley, who has worked with Lowe, Elvis Costello, Johnny Marr and Paul Carrack, among others. The result is a baker’s dozen of highoctane rockabilly fueled scorchers that celebrate fast cars (including a reprise of “Hot Rod Lincoln”), fast trucks and fast women.

(Yes, in this shot that’s Michael McKean as the prison reverend lunching with the guards.) Point Quentin, where the prison is located, was named in tribute to a Miwok warrior called Quentín, who was taken prisoner there by the Mexican army in 1824 after refusing to convert to Christianity and attacking the mission in San Rafael. The land was purchased in 1850 by Benjamin Buckelew. According to historian Jane Futcher, Buckelew planned to build a utopian mini-metropolis called Marin City at the point. Two years later he sold 20 acres of it to the state, which built and opened San Quentin State Prison by 1854. At first, the prison wasn’t on land, but on a brig—the Waban—which sat anchored off the point, while the prison was being built.—Jason Walsh

ViDEO The ‘Rim’ diary PACIFIC RIM’s disappointment at the box office means it will likely go to video sooner than planned, and while I’d love to bide my time and plug such a thrilling movie when it gets there, my conscience won’t let me. No home screen can do justice to the awesome grandeur, scale and spectacle And you thought your Carnival cruise was dicey. rendered by Guillermo del Toro in this Kaiju-monster-versus-giant-robot battle royale: You need a big, big wall. And judging by the hair-trigger program habits of theater owners these days, I worry you might not have much longer to see the print in its pristine form the way del Toro intended: Towering, tortured metal Jaeger-bots locked in battle with monsters in weltering Alaska seas; the neon glow of Hong Kong Harbor as a pair of slimy sea-things pummel the skyline and its denizens all to hell. See it in 2-D not three, and earplugs are a must—the ridiculous noise level has even made news. Then if the experience leaves you wanting more, I highly recommend the box-set original Ultraman on DVD, the classic Japanese television series showcasing three seasons of Hayata’s battles with a succession of Godzilla-like creatures—an acknowledged influence on the young del Toro and this film. Leave the remote at home just this once, then never, ever again.

As you might expect, this was Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and last plate appearance in the major leagues (but he has the highest on-base percentage of any player).

Call Mahin 415-472-5256 Bandita 3 year old spayed female Pit Bull/Pointer mix Very social by nature, Bandita is friendly with everyone she meets and enjoys hanging out with her people. However, enrolling her in a training class will truly help to cement her bond with her new family. Bandita seemed to get along with the dogs she met although she can be a bit overwhelming in her greeting and play style. She may be okay with a few chosen doggie friends, but we do not recommend dog parks.

Bandita is a wonderful example of her breed mix, engaging, funloving, and full of the joys of life.

Bandita would love to be a part of an active family.Meet Toffee at the Marin Humane Society or call the Adoption Department at 415.506.6225

Q:

A man my friend was crazy for just broke up with her.

I kind of saw the breakup coming, as I thought they were too different, but she thinks he just falsely advertised who he really is. They met online, and he made himself out to be this guy who loves art and culture, which to her means going to museums, shows and lectures and to him means staying home and making things. She now insists that the only way to meet people is in the activity you want them to be doing. For example, if you want a guy who likes art museums and going to cultural events (which she does), you’d better hang out in an art museum to find a date. I think it’s a mistake for her not to keep online dating, because I think she’ll meet a lot more men.

–Friend of Stubborn Woman

A:

People try to put their best foot forward on dating sites, and rather often, it turns out it’s not actually their foot.

Of course, deceptive self-marketing is not exclusive to online dating, and online dating does offer certain efficiencies that trying to meet a man at an art museum or cultural event does not. For example, people join a dating site specifically because they are looking for a partner. Some man you spot in a museum may also be looking for a partner—his wife, who was right behind him just a room ago.

It sounds like your friend is blaming the Internet because a guy she liked didn’t like her back. They maybe both projected what they wanted on each other and needed to dig deeper to find out who the person they were dating really was. This is what dating is for. It’s supposed to be a process of finding out about a person, not “I baited the hook; I caught the fish; now let’s decide what’s for dinner at the wedding!”

We often don’t need anybody to go to the trouble of deceiving us. We do that really well on our own, like by telling ourselves we’ve found the “perfect person” and ignoring any evidence to the contrary. Instead, there needs to be a vetting process, whether you meet a man online or at an artwalk. It involves asking questions and looking to see who he is and being willing to find out that he isn’t right for you. This vetting is essential because, wherever you meet men, there’s one thing many will have in common: insisting they’re interested in whatever you are if they think you’re hot. Try to help your friend see that holing up in the art museum isn’t the answer. Sure, it might be kismet that Mr. Dreamypants is standing in the lobby right next to her favorite sculpture, or he might just be waiting to enjoy the work of Sir John Harrington, the guy who invented the flush toilet found in the free public bathroom.

Q:

I’m 5 feet 8 inches; my fiance is just at 5 feet 7 inches. I’m only comfortable when he wears lifts, especially if I’m wearing heels. It may not seem like a big height difference, but when he doesn’t wear them, he feels like my son. I know they’re uncomfortable, and he sometimes doesn’t feel up to wearing them. Mostly, though, he won’t let me see him without them, because he knows I’m way more attracted to him when he’s a tad taller. I feel bad about this, and I’ve prayed that one day, my strong love for him will let me ignore this minor “flaw.”

—Trying To Get Above It

A:

The dream was tall, dark and handsome. Not elfish, dark and handsome.

Still, the problem here could be seen another way: You need to be shorter.

Unfortunately, accomplishing that is the less practical solution, as it would require a saw. It might help to understand that you want him to be taller not because you’re a bad person but because you’re a product of human evolution. In our ancestral past, height in a man likely had mating and survival advantages. (The short caveman would have been less able to reach the lion with his spear: “Take that, you big meanie!”) As for what to do in the present, elevator shoes might be the solution you’re both looking for. While lifts are inserts stuck into the shoe, mainly raising the heel, elevator shoes, which can be custom-made by a podiatrist, have a hidden platform built in throughout the shoe. The latest models are cleverly designed and appear to be normal footwear. This means that a man needn’t suffer the discomfort of tromping around in heels just to be attractive to his partner. (Next thing you know, he’ll be complaining about the scratchy red lace and underwire digging into his flesh.) < © Amy Alkon, all rights reserved. www.advicegoddess.com. Got a problem?
