With heavy winds soon expected to return to
Californias fire-ravaged wine country, firefight-
ers on Tuesday fought to control the firestorms
still raging across swaths of Northern Califor-
nia as police searched for the missing and con-
tinued to evacuate people in danger.
The death toll rose to 17 in Sonoma, Napa,
Mendocino and Yuba counties while officers in
Sonoma County where most of the deaths
occurred searched evacuation centers and
homes for 240 people, finding 57 of them as of
Tuesday afternoon.
Tens of thousands of people remained out of
their homes and more were evacuated Wednes-
day afternoon in northern Sonoma County and
Napa County as the out-of-control firestorms de-
stroyed more than 2,000 structures and threat-
ened many more. And while calmer winds and
higher humidity aided fire-suppression efforts
on Tuesday, the winds are expected to turn gusty
and swing 180 degrees on Wednesday, blowing
from the northwest and challenging the contain-
ment lines that have been secured along the long
southern flanks of the fires, said Neil Lareau of
San Jose State Universitys Department of Me-
teorology and Climate Science.

Sonoma, Napa fire victims

By Keri Brenner

@KeriWorks on Twitter
As the wreckage and heartach-
ing losses racked up this week for
people affected by the wildfires in
Sonoma and Napa counties, Eddie
Hernandez of San Rafael yearned
to find a way to help.
I took some clothes over to the
Marin Civic Center (the countys
main emergency shelter), but they
turned me away, and said they
didnt need any donations, said
Hernandez, an online technical
specialist. I thought about go-
ing up to Santa Rosa, but I didnt
want to clog up the roads if I
wasnt really needed.
Frustrated, Hernandez scoured
Facebook, Twitter and Google,
but the posts he saw were either
outdated or redundant.
I saw a lot of information was
thrown out all over the place, he
said Tuesday.
That was when the lightbulb
went on. Hernandez realized his
online skills could be the biggest
gift of help of all.
As of Tuesday, Hernandez and
Katelyn Willoughby, market-
ing and communications direc-
tor for the Center for Volunteer
and Nonprofit Leadership, are
two self-appointed key commu-
nicators in Marin offering up-to-
date information on volunteering
or donating goods or services to
help the fire victims and evacu-
ees.
The biggest thing that people
need to know is not to just spon-
taneously show up at the Marin
Civic Center, Willoughby said.
They already have more than
enough volunteers who are al-
ready actually registered to be
deployed in a disaster.

and the Marconi Conference
Center in Marshall.
Id like to take this oppor-
tunity to give a special thank
you to our communities in
West Marin, Rodoni said.
Yesterday, noticing the dire
circumstances, they quickly
mobilized and began to offer
shelter to those affected by the
North Bay fires. In moments
like these, we forget about
county and district lines and
begin to help as a community
as a whole.

to help those in need, Super-

said, Along with everyone Ive

fold in Sonoma County and
am overwhelmed by the mag-
nitude of the fires. Six of my
Santa Rosa relatives stayed
with me last night, kind of an
impromptu family reunion.
Supervisor Katie Rice said,
Events like these help us put
things in perspective in terms
of what is really important:

hard-work-
ing Beautification Com-
mittee.
Its a community effort
and a community event,
says Spring Kraeger, chair
of the committee. During
her eight-year tenure, the
event has grown from 500
attendees to 1,500, yet re-
mains a low-key, family
event. Its also supported
by the Corte Madera Com-
munity Foundation, the Li-
ons Club and the town it-
self.
Taking place this Satur-
day in Old Corte Madera
Square from noon to 5
p.m., the 24th annual beer,
food and music fest draws
on the participation of an
army of volunteers, local
businesses and organiza-
tions to nourish and en-
tertain festivalgoers of
all ages: from face-paint-
ing by Hall Middle school-
ers to the sale of pumpkins
grown in town by Wendy
Doherty to crowd control
by the Central Marin Po-
lice Authority.
Proceeds from a single
afternoon of fun support
an entire year of beautifi-
cation support for Corte
Madera. The commit-
tee was formally estab-
lished in 1993 as a citizen-
led fundraiser to purchase
and maintain the hanging
floral baskets seen in Ore-
gon by former mayor Car-
olyn Larson and her hus-
band, Ben. Today, many
citizens donate $300 to
fund one of the 52 hang-
ing baskets purchased
for display around town
each year, but that amount
doesnt quite cover the
cost of the 250-pound bas-

ket and its installation.
Over the years, the
Beautification Commit-
tee has fostered a partner-
ship with the towns Public
Works Department which
maintains the baskets, and
has evolved its focus to
provide support for a vari-
ety of outdoor projects.
In the past few years
alone, the group has
helped remodel the pa-
tio of the recreation center
and funded the replant-
ing of the towns medians,
the installation of drink-
ing fountains on trails, the
distribution of milkweed
seeds to attract monarch
butterflies, and the hang-
ing of owl boxes to en-
courage the wise guys to
stick around. Owls cre-
ate a more vibrant natu-
ral habitat and prey on ro-
dents whose population
can overrun the environ-
ment if not kept in check,
Kraeger says.

key members of her Okto-
berfest team, Kraeger can-
not stop naming names.

When we schedule vol-
unteers, we tell the last

From the Kitchen
Counter
Alongside Lagunitas,
Anchor Steam, Sierra Ne-
vada, Anderson Valley,
Lost Coast and a dozen
more professional brewers,
10 gallons of Todd McLays
Kitchen Counter home-
brewed Marzen will be on
tap at Saturdays Oktober-
fest.
I was actually kicked
out of the kitchen and sent
to the backyard in 1999
because of the smell, so
it should be called Back-
yard Brew, says the Corte
Madera father of two who
will be pouring alongside
his wife, Sumi Kaga, at the
event for the third year in
a row.
McLay only brews for
himself, his friends, a La-
bor Day chili cook-off at
Kirkwood and Oktober-
fest, where he took home
the Peoples Choice
award at last years event.
And for those who want
to make their own kitchen
brew, McLay is present-
ing an introduction to
home brewing at the Corte
Madera Recreation Center
at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Funk Rockin
Oktoberfest will start
the day with traditional
music from the Corte
Madera Town Band and
the Grand Island Fire Bri-
gade Street Band, and will
finish the day rocking out
with Koolwhip.
Our songs are mash-
ups of genres that some
say are very sacrilegious,
says lead vocalist Sally
Dominguez of Christmas
Tree Hill in Corte Madera.
For example, we play Led
Zepplins Black Dog and
overlay Brick House by
The Commodores.
Koolwhips funky, soul-
ful sets of classic rock are
crowd pleasers at clubs
around the Bay Area.
Dominguez is a native of
Australia who has lived
in Marin since 2008 and
has been singing with the
band of Novato and San
Rafael musicians for the
past four years.
I bring a bit more pop
and soul to our sound.
Growing up in Australia,
I was a Brit Pop girl. We
had different music than
you no Grateful Dead,
for example.

Coroner releases ID of crash victim

By Gary Klien
gklien@marinij.com
A driver killed in a crash
in Larkspur over the week-
end was a resident of Rich-
mond, the Marin County
coroners bureau said Tues-
day.
Marvin David Dubon-
Nunez, 27, was driving on
Sir Francis Drake Boulevard
at about 6 a.m. Saturday
when his car went off the
road. The Chevrolet Impala
hit a big-rig that was parked
along the shoulder just west
of San Quentin State Prison,
according to the California
Highway Patrol.
Dubon-Nunez was pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
Authorities did not release
his name until Tuesday be-
cause they were working to
notify his family.
The cause of death is
pending toxicology tests
and additional investiga-
tion. Toxicology tests take
several weeks to complete.
The driver of the big-rig
was sleeping in a berth in-
side the truck when the col-
lision occurred, the CHP
said. He was not injured.
The incident at about p.m. at the JCC, 200 N.
5:30 a.m. involved a big San Pedro Road. Tickets

Because of the seri-

RICH PEDRONCELLI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chuck Rippey looks over a cup found in the burned out
remains of his parents home in Napa. Charles Rippey, 100
and his wife Sara, 98, died when wind whipped flames
swept through the area Sunday night.
Couple killed in
fire wed 75 years
By Rich Pedroncelli and
Sudhin Thanawala
The Associated Press
NAPA >> Mike Rippey stood
among pieces of metal,
porcelain and other rem-
nants of the California
home where his 100-year-
old father and 98-year-old
mother had died in the rag-
ing wine country wildfires.
Rippey said Tuesday his
brother had discovered
their bodies after driving
to the home and managing
to get past security.
He said his father Charles
appeared to be heading to
the room of his mother,
Sara, when he was over-
come by the smoke and
flames.
My father certainly
wouldnt have left her,
Mike Rippey said.
The couple had met in
grade school in Wiscon-
sin and been together ever
since, celebrating their 75th
anniversary last year.
Rippey, 71, said he and
his siblings couldnt imag-
ine how either parent
would have navigated life
if just one had survived the
flames.
We knew theres no way
they would ever be happy,
whoever was the last one.
So they went together, and
thats the way it worked, he
said stoically.
In the charred remains
of the home, only metal and
porcelain survived to testify
to the couples long life to-
gether. There were coffee
cups along a low sill; two
metal chairs, side-by-side
by a patio table; and a por-
celain tea set of white and
soft washes of blue, some
pieces still intact.

EXTREME WEATHER
Experts: Dice was really
loaded for wildfires
By Stuart Leavenworth
McClatchy Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON >> A cascade of
extreme weather events fed
Northern Californias wild-
fires that exploded Sunday:
Unusually high winds blew
flames through unusually
dense and dry vegetation,
which sprung up following
last winters heavy rains
and then were toasted by
months of record hot tem-
peratures.
The dice was really
loaded because of the big
wet winter, said Park Wil-
liams, a California native
and a research scientist at
the Lamont-Doherty Earth
Observatory at Columbia
University. That set up the
West with a lot of fuel to
burn, and this summer has
been exceptional in terms of
dryness.
Scientists such as Wil-
liams say California is espe-
cially prone to wildfires, in
part because of the states
dense population, which
makes it easy for sparks
to be ignited and turn into
raging fire storms. But this
weeks blazes also show
the fingerprints of climate
change, he said, a harbin-
ger of what the West should
expect in the years to come.
The fingerprint is defi-
nitely there, said Williams,
who last year contributed to
a study on climate changes
impact on western wild-
fires. The connection be-
tween temperatures and
fire is one we see again and
again in the correlation
analyses we do.

ers were stunned by the

SANTA ROSA
Inferno took direct aim at helpless city
Bay Area News Group
SANTA ROSA >> The inferno
swept up over a wooded
ridge, like many California
wildfires do, but this one
was different.
Like a terror in the night,
this wall of wind-whipped
flames took direct aim for
the heart of a city, not just
the rural outskirts, not just
the homes high in the hills
or off the grid. The Tubbs
fire one of 14 wildfires
that scarred the people and
property of eight Northern
California counties late
Sunday and early Monday
incinerated dozens of
city blocks in Santa Rosa,
destroying so many of the
trappings of suburban life;
from the Hilton Sonoma
Wine Country and Foun-
taingrove Inn to a technol-
ogy park, from Applebees
and Arbys to Kmart and
Kohls.
The fire skipped across
Highway 101, obliterating
the heart of neighborhoods
too.
These fires happen in the
hills, in the rural area, not
a neighborhood, said David
Kay, 54, clearly stunned as
he returned to his home in
the Coffey Park neighbor-
hood Monday morning and
found nothing but rubble
for blocks and blocks. You
think youre safe in a neigh-
borhood.
In one of the most surreal
scenes, broadcast on KGO
TV, a team of Kaiser Per-
manente nurses and doc-
tors, faces covered by res-
pirators, gently raced crit-
ical patients in hospital
beds down the street, with
bright orange flames in the
background. About 130 pa-
tients were safely evacu-
ated in three hours, includ-
ing women in labor and a
very sick child. Some hos-
pital employees drove pa-
tients in their own cars.
When the evacuation

FIRES CUT POWER
Crews try to restore phone, internet service
By Ethan Baron
Bay Area News Group
With deadly fires in So-
noma and Napa counties
still raging, providers of
phone and internet ser-
vice are scrambling to re-
store communications, but
in many cases being forced
to wait.
Tens of thousands of peo-
ple are without cell phone
or internet service as a re-
sult of the catastrophic fires
that started Sunday night,
with 15 deaths reported by
Tuesday afternoon.
We want to be able to
give our crews the right sup-
plies and resources to go in
there safely, said Comcast
spokeswoman Jenny Gen-

About 38,000 Comcast
customers were without
service for internet and ca-
ble on Tuesday morning.
Most of our lines are on
poles, Gendron said, add-
ing that outages may have
resulted from poles coming
down or fiber cables melt-
ing from the heat of the
blazes.
Seventy-seven cellular-
services sites were damaged
or knocked out by the fires,
and a key cellular hub was
damaged, said California
Office of Emergency Ser-
vices director Mark Ghilar-
ducci. Repairs have been
made to about 35 of the
damaged sites.
Communications is a
top priority for us, Ghilar-
ducci said, adding that the
National Guard was helping
to augment communication
capacities.
Widespread power out-
ages contribute to loss of
phone service because cell
towers require electric-
ity and smaller ones may
have no generator or only

Vintners inspect grapes,
check sites after fires
By Eric Risberg and
Janie Har
The Associated Press
Worried California vint-
ners surveyed the damage
to their vineyards and win-
eries Tuesday after wildfires
swept through several coun-
ties whose famous names
have become synonymous
with fine food and drink.
At the Gundlach Bund-
schu in Sonoma County,
workers were not sure the
grapes above the winery
survived a second night
of the fires that have de-
stroyed at least two win-
eries and damaged more.
We havent been able to
go up and assess the vine
damage, said Katie Bund-
schu, vice president of sales.
Were in the process of sal-
vaging what we can.
The speedy, wind-driven
wildfires came as work-
ers in both counties were
picking and processing
ripe grapes to make char-
donnay, merlot and other
wines that have made the
region a global hot spot.
Millions of locals and out-
of-staters flock to Napa
and Sonoma counties ev-
ery year to sample wine, sit
in mud baths and soak in
the regions natural beauty.
The Napa Valley Vint-
ners trade association re-
ported that at least four
wineries belonging to
members suffered total
or very significant losses
while at least nine others
reported some damage.
The group emphasized
that it had not heard from

Oh God. Thats our
house, said Patsy, 76, as
she came upon the wreck-
age. The couple had just re-
placed all of the wooden
floors and built a gazebo
out back. The whole block
is gone.
In fact, every block as far
as she could see was gone.
And so was her calico cat,
Rosie, who had bolted into
hiding the night before.
Rosie, Rosie! she called
out. Rosie!
The couple were awak-
ened at about 1:30 a.m.
Monday when a gust of
wind blew through the
house and slammed a door
closed inside. Heinz said
thats when a neighbor
pounded on the door.
I opened the door in my
skivvies, Heinz said.
You better get your
clothes on and get out of
here, his neighbor said.
They could see flames at
the end of the block. They
quickly dressed and jumped
in the car to drive away
with nothing but his phone
and her purse. They spent the
night in a Raleys supermar-
ket parking lot across town.
This fire, which started
in Calistoga, is being com-
pared with the Valley Fire
in 2015 in neighboring Lake
County, which was consid-
ered one of the hottest and
fastest in memory.
We had 20,000 acres
in 12 hours, said Cal Fire
Capt. Richard Cordova on
Monday afternoon of the
Tubbs fire. Its pretty much
unheard of.

those in the most vulnera-
ble parts of the valley.
About 90 percent of
grapes had already been
picked, the group added,
with most of the remain-
ing crop thick-skinned
cabernet sauvignon grapes
not expected to be affected
by the smoke.
Bundschu, a sixth-gen-
eration vintner, recounted
a scary Monday night in
which the flames licked at
the perimeter of the win-
ery but were beaten back
by firefighters. A century-
old redwood barn and her
grandmothers 1919 home
were spared.
Gundlach Bundschu is
the oldest family-run win-
ery in California, started
in 1858.
She was eager to dis-
pel reports that the win-
ery had been destroyed,
as was Nicholson Ranch
winery, also in Sonoma
County, which posted on
Facebook that news of its
demise was premature.
The winery was in the
path of the fire but es-
caped being engulfed by
the flames. We have some
damage to fix. The wine is
secure in our cellars. We
are cleaning up and hop-
ing to have the power back
on this week, it said.
Even wineries that
were destroyed may sur-
vive. Melted and black-
ened wine bottles littered
the ruined Signorello Es-
tate winery in Napa Valley,
but its vineyard looked un-
touched by flames.

INTERVIEW
Trumps jibe deepens feud with secretary of state
By Catherine Lucey
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON >> President
Donald Trump challenged
Secretary of State Rex Til-
lerson to compare IQ tests,
delivering a sharp-edged
ribbing that threw a bright
spotlight on his seemingly
shaky relationship with his
top diplomat. The White
House insisted the presi-
dent was only joking.
Trump issued the chal-
lenge in an interview with
Forbes magazine, when
asked about reports that
Tillerson called him a mo-
ron after a classified brief-
ing this summer. The pres-
ident responded that if the
claim was true, the two
should duke it out in a bat-
tle of brainpower.
And I can tell you who is
going to win, Trump said.

the State Department sug-

DEADLY RIOTS
Last Kerner panel member haunted on race Trump lashes Liddle Bob
By Russell Contreras
The Associated Press
CORRALES, N.M. >> Nearly
50 years after the Kerner
Commission studied the
causes of deadly riots in
Americas cities, its last
surviving member says he
remains haunted that its
recommendations on U.S.
race relations and poverty
were never adopted.
But former U.S. Sen.
Fred Harris of Oklahoma
also said hes hopeful those
ideas will be embraced one
day, and hes encouraged
by Black Lives Matter and
other social movements.
In an interview with
The Associated Press, the
86-year-old Harris said he
still feels strongly that pov-
erty and structural racism
enflame racial tensions,
even as the United States
becomes more diverse.
Today, there are more
people in America who are
poor both in numbers
and greater percentage,
Harris told the AP from
his home in Corrales, New
Mexico. And poor people
today are poorer than they
were then. Its harder to get
out of poverty.
The nations poverty rate
was 14.2 percent in 1967
compared to 14 percent last
year, according to the U.S.
Census.
And despite five decades
of civil rights and voting
rights advancements, cit-
ies and schools have re-
segregated, Harris said.
He cited recent federal data
that showed the number of
poor schools with mainly
Latino and black students
more than doubled from
2001 to 2014.
The resulting tensions
sometimes play out in
clashes with police, as seen
recently in St. Louis, Balti-
more and Charlotte, North
Carolina.
Only by getting the gen-
eral population concerned
about racial disparity, poor
housing and proper job
training will the United
States finally tackle the un-
derlying causes of the ur-
ban riots of the 1960s and

ing to make light of what
they describe as inaccurate
reports of tension. But com-
ing amid increasingly pub-
lic signs of strain between
the president and Tillerson,
the remark landed with a
distinct hint of malice.
Trumps comments have
threatened to undermine
Tillersons diplomatic ini-
tiatives and sow confusion
among allies and foes over
whether he speaks for the
U.S. and has the support
of the White House. That
uncertainly could impact
a number of foreign policy
crises, including the nuclear
threat posed by North Ko-
rea and the imminent de-
cision to be made as to
whether to continue the
Iran nuclear pact.

clared that he had con-

his colleagues soon discov-

WASHINGTON >> President
Donald Trump lashed out
at Sen. Bob Corker as Lid-

day, escalating a feud with
the Tennessee Republican
whos dubbed the White
House an adult day care
center and charged that
Trump could be setting the
nation on the path toward
World War III.
Fellow GOP senators,
treading carefully, avoided
siding with Trump or
with Corker.
But le a d-
ing lawmak-
ers called on
both men to
end a quar-
rel that could
imperil the
Republican
agenda on Corker
Capitol Hill.
Trump will need Corker if
he is to get big tax changes
through the Senate, where
the narrow GOP major-
ity was unable to repeal
Barack Obamas Affordable
Care Act. And Corker also
figures to be a key player if
Trump moves as expected
to unwind the Iran nuclear
deal.
I have a lot of respect
for Sen. Corker and what
he brings to the Senate,
but I think the president is
leading in the right direc-

former Secretary of State

mer Secretary of Defense

But the two men have
not clicked, and Tillerson
was soon painted by some
America First forces in
the White House as a pub-
licity-shy, slow-moving glo-
balist who did not grasp

American people.
Trumps tweet Tuesday
alleged that Corker was
set up by the failing
New York Times in a re-
corded interview Sunday.
Corker, who is not run-
ning for re-election, lev-
eled searing criticism at
Trump in the interview
and said the presidents
conduct would have to
concern anyone who cares
about our nation. Corker
also said that Trump could
set the U.S. on the path
to World War III with
threats toward other coun-
tries.
Trump responded to
that charge Tuesday as he
addressed reporters in the
Oval Office while meeting
with Henry Kissinger.
We were on the wrong
path before, Trump said.
All you have to do is take
a look. If you look over the
last 25 years, through nu-
merous administrations, we
were on a path to a very big
problem, a problem like this
world has never seen. Were

MASS SHOOTING MANHATTAN EXPLOSION

Could Vegas police have taken Bombing trial shows

down the gunman sooner?
By Michael Balsamo
The Associated Press
The revised timeline
given by investigators
for the Las Vegas massa-
cre raises questions about
whether better communi-
cation might have allowed
police to respond more
quickly and take out the
gunman before he could
kill and wound so many
people.
On Monday, Sheriff Joe
Lombardo said Stephen
Paddock shot and wounded
a Mandalay Bay hotel secu-
rity guard outside his door
and sprayed 200 bullets
down the hall six minutes
before he opened fire Oct. 1
from his high-rise suite on
a crowd at a country music
festival below.
That was a different ac-
count from the one police
gave last week: that Pad-
dock shot the guard, Jesus
Campos, after unleashing
his barrage of fire on the
crowd, where 58 people
were killed and hundreds
injured.
The sheriff had previ-
ously hailed Campos as
a hero whose arrival in
the hallway may have led
Paddock to stop firing.
But on Monday, Lombardo
said he didnt know what
prompted Paddock to end
the gunfire and take his
own life.
How crucial were the
minutes that elapsed be-
fore the massacre began?
This changes every-
thing, said Joseph Gia-
calone, a professor at John
Jay College of Criminal
Justice and a former New
York City police sergeant.
There absolutely was an
opportunity in that time-

frame that some of this
couldve been mitigated.
Giacalone added: By en-
gaging the shooter ahead
of time during this event,
it couldve saved a lot of
heartache.
Police released few de-
tails about the new time-
line and did not respond
to questions from The As-
sociated Press, including
whether anyone from the
hotel called 911 to report
the hallway shooting.
Our officers got there
as fast as they possibly
could and they did what
they were trained to do,
Assistant Sheriff Todd Fa-
sulo said.

Golf course is a Marin
recreational asset
I dont know if the San
Geronimo Golf Course can
be saved, but there should be
some discussion of the matter
by the public.
This beautiful property has
provided medium-cost (and in
some cases low-cost) recreation
for thousands of golfers over
the years. Sir Francis Drake
High School and other schools,
including Dominican Univer-
sity, also train there for their
school teams.
The word around Fair-
fax and San Geronimo Valley
is that the selling price of the
course, which is $8.85 million
or thereabouts, is way too high
for other golf courses to even
bid on it.
I have read that the county-
run McInnis Park golf oper-
ation has been a big success.
I know the county is not in
the golfing business, but its a
thought to save this valuable
recreational facility.
I have heard that Mr. Robert
Lee, the owner, is under the
gun to sell because partners in
the golf course want out.
How can the public help
save this valuable recreational
course that has afforded so
much pleasure and healthy ex-
ercise to many thousands over
the past 52 years?
Pat Arrigoni, Fairfax
County shouldnt close
top-rated golf course
Closing San Geronimo would
be a tragedy for North Bay golf-
ers.
Kudos to Sherri McDan-
nold (Readers Forum, Oct. 4)
for noting the already plentiful
nearby open spaces, and stress-
ing the very many reasons why
this closing must not happen.
This course is no ordinary
course. It is a classic golf course
rated by the United States Golf
Association (the nations govern-
ing body of golf) right up there
with PGA Tour venue courses
Silverado and Sonoma golf clubs,
and just a hairs-breadth below
San Franciscos Olympic Clubs
Lake course, venue of five U.S.
Open Championships.

County shouldnt rush in
San Geronimo deal
Some questions regarding
the countys pending acqui-
sition of San Geronimo Golf
Course, and plans:
1. Why is the county a party
to paying the $8.8 million ask-
ing price if no private buyer
is willing to pay that? If the
owners are anxious to sell and
there are no private buyers
willing at that price, a more fa-
vorable deal could be made.
Perhaps one that would al-
low the county to continue the
courses operation for the ben-
efit of Marin, and accommo-
date some other needs of San
Geronimo Valley residents.
2. Has the county ex-
Cartoonists take
plored measures to protect
coho salmon, Woodacres sep-
tic needs, etc. without closing
San Geronimo? If so, shouldnt
these be put to voters, given
tax money is financing the pur-
chase, and the golf course has
many fans among Marin non-
golfers and golfers. (There is
good reason why real estate de-
velopers choose to build devel-
opments around golf courses.
They add value.)
3. Shouldnt a decision of
this magnitude/impact to
Marin be given more attention,
perhaps a vote?
4. Has the county taken into
consideration closing the golf
course will put many valley
people out of work, necessitat-
ing them to drive considerable
distances to find employment?
It seems fair to value work-
ers at least as much as salmon.
Finally, apparently someone
claims golf is a rich, white-
mans sport, an amusing
claim given the composition of
Marin, i.e. one of the countrys
wealthiest/whitest counties.
San Geronimo is a public
course, loved by golfers in the
Bay Area for its beauty and
challenging play. It charges the
lowest rates in the area and, as
a result, draws those of us un-
able to join private golf clubs in
Marin.
Len Silverfine, Strawberry

Alternatives to destruction

Maybe a nine-hole course is

Alto Tunnel will
benefit everyone
There is one thing certain
about the debate about Alto
Tunnel this project is essen-
tial and it will be realized.
Like the Interstate 580/
Highway 101 connector, Alto
Tunnel is a public asset, critical
transportation infrastructure,
and people want it.
It will take some time to fig-
ure out how to fund the proj-
ect, but it will happen.
Alto Tunnel is the critical link
in Marins North-South Green-
way. As our transportation sys-
tem evolves, people simply want
more options, particularly more
options to make choices other
than the automobile.
The auto will never be dis-
placed as a major mode, but
people want to be able to bike
and walk safely, and have the
option of public transit.
They want balance and
choice.
When people have viable
Cartoonists take
PHIL HANDS TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
choices, it benefits everyone,
including those who choose to
drive their cars. No one is try-
ing to remove their choice to
drive, but the opponents see
this as us versus them and it is
simply not the case.
Alto Tunnel is a project that
will benefit everyone, whether
or not you ever use it.
The project opponents are
shortsighted and concoct all
kinds of reasons to oppose the
project, while carefully not
stating their real reasons. This
is not a neighborhood issue,
rather it is a generational issue.
While the opponents are
pushing those who live near
the route to oppose the project,
time after time similar projects
have been shown to be very
popular with residents and
have a very positive effect on
property values.
The fears of noise and other
impacts are imagined, not real.
There are many examples of
people opposing similar trail
projects only to become big
boosters after the projects are
built, when they see for them-
selves how the projects im-
prove quality of life and prop-
erty values.
The opponents say the proj-
ect is too expensive. It is ex-
pensive, but this is not a case
of taking funding away from
other needs. These projects are
built with federal, state and re-
gional funding for similar proj-
ects on a competitive basis.
As a taxpayer, I want my
federal and state tax dollars,
and my regional fees and tolls,
coming back to be spent in my
area, rather than elsewhere in
the country or state. That is
how Alto Tunnel will be funded
and it is a net benefit to Marin
County and the Bay Area.
The Alto Tunnel and the
North-South Greenway make
great sense to improve our trans-
portation infrastructure. Peo-
ple want it and it will be a great
benefit to future generations.
Douglas Nelson, Mill Valley
Trail improvements
welcomed by hikers
My friend Bob and I are se-
nior hiking buddies. Twice a
week we explore trails through-
out Marin open space preserves.
We appreciate the many op-
portunities to commune with
nature throughout this beauti-
ful county.
Recently, we began our
hike from the parking lot at
the Horse Hill Trail, Mill Val-
ley. We were making are way
through the Alto Bowl to hike
in the Camino Alto Open Space
area.
What a pleasant surprise
when we reached the Bob Mid-
dagh Trail.
We have hiked this trail
many times in the past. What
a different experience on to-
days hike.
Instead of a narrow, gut-
ted, eroded trail with steep sec-
tions, we found a wide, nicely
contoured, smooth terrain with
gradual uphill sections. So
much easier to navigate.
On our return hike we had
another pleasant surprise. A
new section of Horse Hill Trail
directly across from the Mid-
dagh Trail was open.
We no longer had to fol-
low the old route which took
us through a residential area,
across a busy street, through
the parking lot of the tennis
and swim club to reach the
steep, eroded and rocky gas
line section of the old Horse
Hill Trail.
The new trail is again a
smoothly graded, wide trail
with a gradual uphill that goes
through a forested area not
previously accessible. It then
connects downhill with the old
Horse Hill Trail.
We hope that other outdoor
enthusiasts take the opportu-
nity to enjoy these two trails.
Kudos to the Marin County
Open Space District for a job
well done.

Dick Spotswood

Housing should be part of golf course purchase

Owners of the 157-acre San
Geronimo Golf Club have entered
into an option agreement to sell
the links to the
nonprofit Trust for
Public Lands. If ex-
ercised, TPL fronts
$4.6 million and
the county contrib-
utes $4.2 million.
Dick
Spotswood When escrow
closes, TPL do-
nates the acreage
to the county for specific pur-
poses, principally open space.
Theoretically, private and
public sources will repay TPA.
The idea is that the 18-hole
golf course would be closed and
the land returned to its natu-
ral state as a meadow. If county
supervisors decide to move for-
ward, most of the site will be de-
voted to passive open space for
hiking, perhaps with a small
playground.
If supervisors decide to take
advantage of this once-in-a-
lifetime offer, Id suggest a few
acres of the property be set
aside for Mount Burdell Place-
type affordable housing.
Habitat for Humanity created
Mount Burdell Place, a 10-unit
cluster of townhouses in central
Novato as a model 100-percent
affordable housing development.
The condo units require that
future owners contribute sweat
equity to be eligible to purchase.
Habitat brought neighbors and
the community at large into the
project from inception.
What differentiates it from
blockbuster projects like Corte
Maderas WinCup is that its
compatible with the adjacent
neighborhoods density and style.
The project is lauded as the
ideal path to accomplish afford-
able housing with community
support. Im not suggesting a
cookie-cutter replica of Mount
Burdell Place. San Geronimo
Valley deserves first-rate, site-
appropriate design compatible
with this semi-rural valley.
Portions of the site already
disturbed by golf-related struc-
tures and parking lots are in an
environmentally sensitive loca-
tion for the homes.
West Marin needs affordable
housing. Regional agencies are
on the warpath to create more.
Instead of fighting them
tooth-and-nail, a better ap-
proach is to get ahead of the
curve, carve out appropriate
sites and build housing the right
way. If generous donors and the
county pick up half the tab for
the property, the affordability
aspect is assured.
Valley residents must be first
consulted.
Given San Geronimo Val-
leys progressive politics, lo-
cals should welcome appropri-
ately sized affordable housing
expanding the communitys di-
versity. While the acreage is far
from transit, its axiomatic that
if transit proximity is required,
little will ever be built in West
Marin. Low-wage rural earners
are well aware that traveling to
jobs and shopping requires cars.
TPL proclaims its support for
environmental justice, including
the need to rebuild ... rural ar-
eas in balance with nature.

Craft beer, and the paradox of choice

back in the mid-
2000s, when spe-

popular and major retailers be-

as the craft beer market grew.
It was exciting, and it certainly
prompted countless beer drinkers
to explore the options they didnt
previously know existed.
But today, with American
breweries numbering some
6,000, and with more opening ev-

than ever before and some in
the industry say it may actually
be scaring consumers off.
The phenomenon is referred to
as the paradox of choice, nota-

In essence, the paradox de-

overwhelmed and anxious and,
possibly, choose to buy nothing
in the end. Id personally be sur-

Michelin adds Playa to Bib Gourmand list

By Leanne Battelle
IJ correspondent
After a year of mak-
ing the worldwide
rounds to suss out the
best of the best in res-
taurant dining, the
mighty Michelin Guides
anonymous inspectors
are dishing out their
annual accolades.
The French tire com-
pany awards its star rat-
ings on Thursday, but last
week it announced the
Bib Gourmand honorees
to restaurants with ex-
ceptionally good food at
moderate prices, or two
courses and a glass of
wine or dessert for $40 or
less.
Mill Valleys Playa has
made its grand debut
among 67 Bay Area res-
taurants, one of only four
newcomers to receive the
Bib Gourmand distinction.
It shares the spotlight
with five others in Marin.

DINING
Depot Caf keeps tradition, but change is near
By Leanne Battelle
IJ correspondent
To view and breathe
the essence and heart of
Mill Valley, its just a mat-
ter of looking up at Mount
Tam and walking through
downtown Lytton Square.
It was right here at the
historic Depot Bookstore
& Caf almost 25 years
ago that I experienced my
first taste of Marin and,
being a born-and-bred
East Coaster, felt the awe
and joy of being in a place
where you can comfort-
ably sip coffee outside in
mid-January.
No doubt, the trans-
portation-turned-commu-
nity hub has retained the
charming appeal of yester-
year high-arched, paned
windows that look out to
the brick plaza, a delight-
fully small bookshop for
browsing and a vibe con-
ducive to solo pursuits or
social interaction. These
laurels have served it well
for over 45 years, though
lately with a growing
sense that these strengths
cant be relied on indefi-
nitely.
With vision toward the
future, neighboring res-
taurant owners Paul Laz-
zareschi of Vasco and Do-
menico Petrone of Piazza
DAngelo purchased The
Depot in April 2016 from
the Turnbull family, found-
ers and owners since 1987.
Since then, Petrone has
stepped out and been re-
placed by well-estab-
lished Italian caf propri-
etor Gary Rulli of Lark-
spurs Emporio Rulli. Its
taking some time for be-
hind-the-scenes plan-
ning to translate to visible
changes, but general man-
ager Ari Maslow says, In

two slices of toasted sour-

Chilled butter packets
are on the pick-up coun-

A tasty berry jam is
also there in a bowl with a
small scooping spoon.
For lunch, paninis and

Soups are house-made
and change daily ($3.95
to $5.95). The vegetarian
chili recipe is a 20-year-
old Depot specialty. Its
thick and fork-ready with
black beans, chili, on-
ions, tomatoes and sacred
spices.
As is apropos at a caf,
theres a full range of cof-
fee and espresso drinks.
With Rulli on board, the
caf is using his hand-

sult.
Youll also find a stan-
dard selection of juices,
sodas, smoothies ($3.50)
and a limited list of beer
($5.75) and wine ($8 white,

Happy hour is from
4:30 to 6:30 p.m. daily ($5

When it does, the new
ownership should be ev-
ident. Previously under
the Turnbull familys pub-
lishing pedigree, it was
a bookstore with an at-
tached caf.
Now with restaura-
teurs at the helm, empha-
sis will build in the food
direction with the intent
to add more options to the
menu without being com-
plicated.
That said, being one
of few independently
owned bookstores is im-
portant to the owners
and the community to
maintain.
Customers also can ex-
pect to see new restroom
facilities and exterior en-
hancements to accommo-
date evening dining in-
cluding heat lamps, fire
pits and lighting.
When the time comes,
the restaurant will notify
the community ahead of
time about any short clo-
sure periods during which
the plan is to do a pop-up
store outside.
Its an exciting time for
The Depot as well as for
all of us who have grav-
itated there for so many
years.
While it may take a lit-
tle more time, as Maslow
says, it will be a legacy
for many years to come,
so they want it done
right.

YOUR DAILY BREAK |
Couple without kids
cant handle feelings
DEAR AMY My husband
and I are in our late 20s.
We are close friends with
a married couple who are
about 10 years older than
we are. They struggled
with infertility for years.
They pretend theyre OK
with their situation, but
clearly they arent.
Anytime a child is
around, the woman gets
very emotional. She starts
out acting
excited to
interact with
a child, then
progresses
to saying
Amy she doesnt
Dickinson know how
Ask Amy to interact
with the
child because she doesnt
have any, and then she
says being with children
makes her sad.
They say: We wont be honest in your reaction:
friends with you once you
have kids. We cant tell threaten our friendship
if thats a joke. They have
no friends their age with
kids, and have talked
about people that used to
be their friends, before
they had kids.
I understand how
devastating it must be;
but the emotional roller-
coaster with every child
is draining, especially as
many of our friends are
starting families.
They chose not to
adopt or go through IVF,
which is their choice and
100 percent acceptable.

Tailgate
FROM PAGE 1
bers-only party that offers
a decidedly upscale twist
on the typical tailgate with
pregame treats like butter-
poached lobster and bone-
in prime rib.
But the tailgate offers
more standard game-day
fare, too, including pizza
and meatballs using reci-
pes from chef Adam Sobel,
previously at Minas RN74
and now in Honolulu at Mi-
nas latest food hall con-
cept, the Street. Meatballs
are an especially good op-
tion for homegating when
its too cold or wet to fire
up the grill.
And these meatballs, a
combination of beef, pork
and veal, rocked Beabrauts
world, despite his having
been raised in an Italian
family.
I dont know that Ive
ever had a meatball like
that in my whole life, he
says. Its like Grandmas
recipe, if not better but I
could never say that in front
of my mom.
And while a lot of people
might pop some popcorn
for game time, Beabraut
uses popcorn to make grits
that he serves with scallops
at Bourbon Steak.
The popcorn grits make
a great accompaniment to
other game-day options,
from barbecued shrimp to
pulled pork.
Theres a reason why so
many Southern dishes, like
grits, seem to go hand in
hand with tailgating, and
thats because the South
and college footballs South-
eastern Conference espe-
cially wrote the book on
tailgating.
On autumn Saturdays,
you might find chef Eliz-
abeth Heiskell, author
of What Can I Bring?
(Southern Living, 2017),
in the Grove, the 10-acre
tailgating grounds at Ole
Miss, serving egg and ol-
ive finger sandwiches and
one of her most requested
recipes: brown sugar ba-
con-wrapped breadsticks.
Its an updated version of
a Southern bridge-party
snack that goes equally
well with beer, bloody
Marys or bourbon.
Heiskells cookbook has
an entire chapter devoted
to tailgate food, includ-
ing a so-bad-its-good rec-
ipe for hangover sliders
that are the delicious love
child of a burger and chili
con queso.
Yes, it does involve pro-
cessed cheese, but the cele-
bratory preamble to a game
where men crush the living
daylights out of each other
is no place to claim any
moral high ground.
Save that for when you

The call came at 1:45 a.m. on
Monday. Cliff Branch had been
home in Santa Rosa since about
10 p.m. after returning from the
Raiders home game against the
Baltimore Ravens and was re-
watching the game as he fell
asleep. His attorney was on the
phone.
He said, You need to evacu-

Tuesday in reference to the Ja-

NFL NOTES
Cardinals trade for RB Peterson
The Associated Press
T he A rizona Cardi-
nals, with the worst rush-
ing game in the NFL, have
acquired running back
Adrian Peterson from the
New Orleans Saints in ex-
change for an undisclosed
2018 draft pick.
The 32-year-old Peter-
son has rushed for 11,828
yards and 97 touchdowns
in his 10-plus pro seasons.
The four-time All-Pro and
seven-time Pro Bowl selec-
tion signed a two-year con-
tract with the Saints during
the offseason after spend-
ing his first 10 NFL sea-
sons with the Minnesota
Vikings.
We are always on the
lookout for opportunities
to improve our team and
we look at this as one of
those opportunities, Car-
dinals general manager
Steve Keim said in a news
release announcing the
trade. What Adrian has ac-
complished in this league is
well-established. Our needs
for a spark in our running
game right now is also ob-
vious and we are excited to
give him the chance to pro-
vide that.
Peterson has played spar-
ingly with little success for
New Orleans. Hes gained 81
yards in 27 carries, an av-
erage of three yards per at-
tempt with a long run of 11.

back Colin Kaepernick last
season over his view of po-
lice mistreatment of black
males had mostly subsided
when Trump told a rally in
Alabama last month that
owners should get rid of
players who kneel during
the anthem.
In his memo, Goodell re-
iterated the leagues belief
that everyone should stand
for the anthem and outlined
plans to highlight efforts of
players trying to bring at-
tention to the social issues
behind the game-day pro-
tests. Goodell said those
plans would be presented
to owners next week.
The controversy over the
anthem is a barrier to hav-
ing honest conversations
and making real progress
on the underlying issues,
Goodell wrote. We need to
move past this controversy,
and we want to do that to-
gether with our players.
Lockhart said he wasnt
sure if players would be in-
cluded in discussions dur-
ing the league meetings.
Most teams practice on one
or both of those days. Hous-
ton and Detroit are the only
teams with byes next week.
The NFL Players Associa-
tion didnt immediately re-
spond to a request for com-
ment.
The game manual says
that during the anthem
players on the field and
bench area should stand
at attention, face the flag,
hold helmets in their left
hand, and refrain from
talking. It is the NFLs
only known guidance on
the subject.
The manual also says
anyone not on the field by
the start of the anthem
can be fined or suspended.
Lockhart said the league
so far has chosen not to
discipline any players. He
sidestepped a question of
whether should would
be changed to must next
week.
I think there will be a
discussion about the entire
issue including the policy,
including all of the various
elements that have been
raised over the last four
weeks, Lockhart said. Im left Indianapolis home

Cal QB
Wire services
After suggesting a
qua r t erba ck cha n ge
might be coming in the
wake of a third straight
defeat, Cal coach Justin
Wilcox appears to be stay-
ing with Ross Bowers as
his starter.
The Bears play No. 8
Washington State (6-0)
on Friday night at Memo-
rial Stadium, and Wilcox
said after practice Mon-
day he expects Bowers to
start.
Pressed on the question
during a Pac-12 coaches
teleconference Tuesday,
Wilcox said, Ross is our
starter right now. Thats
how were approaching
this week. Every week
everybody has to go out
and produce. So were go-
ing to play the guys who
earn the right to play in
the game and Ross is our
starter.
After the Bears (3-3, 0-3
Pac-12) lost 38-7 at Wash-
ington on Saturday night,
Wilcox gave the first indi-
cation he might open up
the competition at quar-
terback. Bowers, a red-
shirt sophomore who won
the job during fall camp,
was 11 of 18 for a season-
low 80 yards against the
Huskies as Cals offense
failed to score.
Bowers had passed for
at least 200 yards in each
of Cals first five games,
and has thrown for nine
touchdowns. But his ac-
curacy has dipped to 51
percent over the past four
games, and he has eight
interceptions. He has
been sacked 14 times the
past two games.
Backup Chase Forrest
also played in the Wash-
ington game, completing
5 of 8 for 53 yards.
After the game, Wil-
cox expressed disappoint-
ment in the offense.
Were going to have to
reevaluate some things,
he said. Weve got to do a
better job at the quarter-
back position. Ross needs
to play better.
Post-practice Mon-
day, Wilcox said every-
things on the table, but
confirmed Bowers as the
starter. Ross did some
good things. Hes just
got to be more consistent
in his play, Wilcox said.
That goes for everybody.

ference games that end
in the wee hours on the
East Coast.
But its worth noting he
did bring up a topic thats
been debated on the West
Coast for some time. Some
say those late TV games
are a great showcase for
the Pac-12, others say its
tough on the players.
Some, like Petersen,
wonder if its actually hurt-
ing teams to start so late
when it comes to exposure.
And, by extension, many
wonder if it impacts things
like postseason awards:
After a long day of Sat-
urday football games, are
Heisman voters staying
up late enough to see the
leagues stars like Wash-
ington States Luke Falk
or Stanfords Bryce Love?
Last week, Petersen ad-
dressed a series of late
who have not started a
game before 5 p.m. local
time this season and
apologized to fans.
It hurts us tremen-
dously in terms of national
exposure. No one wants
to watch our game on the
we all know it, he said.
The issue was ampli-
fied in a not-so-good way
over the weekend when
Kirk Herbstreit said on
ESPNs College Game Day
that Petersen should be
thanking ESPN for ac-
tually having a relation-
ship.

less than perfect out of the

stop that pontification.
Still, I extended that Get

jet-lagged team Tuesday.
Here, take it. I dont
want a thing for it. Use it
as youd like.
They refused to take
it. There they go, flashing
that character again an-

I subtly (or maybe not so
subtly) extended the card
to Kevin Durant, referenc-
ing Kerrs comments be-
fore and during the China
trip: did he or his team-
mates have the impression
that they needed to play
catch-up at all this week,
because of the missed
practice time?
The notion was swiftly
rejected:

it be the last time.)

And according to Du-

not even a little bit.
No excuses there.
What about Kerrs
thoughts on the matter
surely hed hedge on Du-
rants comments a bit, no?
No.
I like where we are, ac-
tually the trip was good
for us, other than the jet

right now, Kerr said. Our

kill the guys during train-
ing camp.

Now, the Warriors are
absolutely jet-lagged from
the trip to the other side
of the planet Kerr joked
that the herbal reme-
dies his wife picked up at
Whole Foods before the
teams trip havent worked
at all (on a more som-
ber note: it was clear that
Kerrs back was clearly
bothering him during his
media availability Tues-
day; hopefully, those
symptoms go away with
the jet lag) while Klay
Thompson (who is already
on a different, and proba-
bly more enjoyable wave-
length) was curt and just
shy of ornery on Tuesday
but jet lag is a tempo-
rary condition.
Lack of preparation
doesnt fade. In fact, the
problems that come from
it can snowball as a season
progresses teams think
that theyll have plenty of
time to practice over the
course of a nine-month
season, but they never
end up with as much time
as they thought, and bad
habits can pile up without
that detailed work.
But theres absolutely
no concern something like
that is going to happen
to this Warriors team, ac-
cording to the Warriors.
Thompson said that hes
so ready to start the sea-
son that hed prefer to skip

against the Kings so he
can go to Cal and watch
his Washington State Cou-
gars play the Bears.
It peeved the Warriors
shooting guard that we
wont be able to go he
doesnt need the preseason
minutes, but the Cougs,
who are No. 9 in the lat-
est AP poll, wont be in the
Bay Area again this sea-
son.
To Klay, this preseason
is already too long.
It seems as if, somehow,
someway, the Warriors
came back from China in
a better place theyre
primed and nearly ready
to go.
So much for all those
worries.
Some sunshine, few
good nights sleep, an an-
gry outburst from Dray-
mond Green about his
teams poor defensive ef-
fort is all that stands be-
tween the Warriors and

for what should be a gruel-

To make his dream

last week, one Trojans
assistant coach noted that
Marin Catholic is better
than they look on film,
and that the Wildcats are
better than they were last
year, and they were really
good last year. Theres no
surprise Marin Catholic
(6-0) is a perfect 3-0 in
MCAL. The Wildcats
also beat up on three
formidable nonleague foes:
Campolindo (42-21), St.
Ignatius (35-21) and Analy
(56-0). Unfortunately,
the Wildcats Week 2
game against perennial
power Central Catholic
of Modesto was canceled
due to extreme heat
across the county. One
big reason for Marin
Catholics unblemished
record? Oregon State-
bound quarterback
Spencer Petras, who leads
the county in passing
yards (1,759), passing
touchdowns (22) and
completion percentage
(71.5), has been lights out.
Its been eight games
dating back to the 2016
section playoffs since
Petras has thrown an
interception. Equally
as outstanding is Navy
commit Peter Brown
Petras top target who
has racked up a county-
high 779 yards and 12

In three MCAL games,
Brown is averaging an
