The San Francisco Yacht Club hit
a snag during construction of its new
Regatta Center when contractors dis-
covered small bone fragments while dig-
ging out a pipe.
As of The Ark’s Sept. 24 press dead-
line, the Marin County Coroner’s Office
had not yet confirmed whether the three
bone fragments, discovered about 11:30
a.m. Sept 20, were human or animal re-
mains.
As part of its approval to build the
archaeological monitor. If any potential
historic resources are found, work has
to stop within the immediate vicinity
of the find until officials have concluded
whether they are historic.
Ed Lynch, a spokesman for the yacht
club, said the bones are likely not prehis-
toric remains, as the area has been dug
out previously to put in the sewerage
line.
“I would be very surprised to find out
they’re human bones,” Lynch said.
to import soil to build the site up.
The area where the yacht club sits is
identified as one of five prehistoric shell
mound sites in Belvedere, according to a
2009 historic resources study for the city.
The study notes the 3-foot-tall Coast
Miwok shell mound was discovered
while officials were excavating for the
Belvedere Hotel more than a century
ago. Several artifacts from the mound
were apparently stolen after being dis-
covered, according to the study.

Richardson Bay waters closing to
all boats, kayaks through March
The Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary will
close 900 acres of its sanctuary waters to motorized and
human-powered watercraft, effective Oct. 1.
The annual closure, which runs through March 31, 2019,
protects tens of thousands of migrating birds that spend
their winters in Richardson Bay, fattening up and conserv-
ing energy.
Even a single kayak paddling slowly through can flush
hundreds of birds, officials say.
The ban, mandated by the Richardson Bay Regional
Agency, covers a roughly triangular area extending south
to the tip of Strawberry Point, east to Belvedere and north
to Blackie’s Pasture. The boundaries are marked by buoys
and permanent pilings, and the ban includes all watercraft,
including kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.
For more details about the sanctuary, visit richardsonbay.

Belvedere council opts against tough
enforcement of public-land licenses
"Y-!44(%7(/3%
mhose@thearknewspaper.com
———
Despite passing stricter rules intended to stop residents
from building garages and fences on city land, the Belve-
dere City Council in two recent cases proved reluctant to
reclaim public spaces that have already been closed off.
The council voted 4-0 at its Sept. 10 meeting to let a Bella
Vista Avenue homeowner demolish and replace a dilapi-
dated garage, part of which sits over the property line on
public space.
It also decided not to make a Cliff Road homeowner tear
down a fence that lies on city property across more than
200 feet of the Bayview Avenue street frontage.
Councilmember Marty Winter was absent from the
votes.
The two decisions shed light on how the council will
interpret new rules concerning revocable licenses, which
are licenses the city gives out that let residents use public
spaces for things like driveway entries, walkways or land-
scaping.
In exchange for receiving a license, the homeowner takes
on liability to maintain the improvements they make, and
the city retains the right to reclaim its land at any point.
The council codified rule changes earlier this year that
require there be some sort of public benefit when it grants
the licenses. In making the changes, councilmembers also
reiterated their distaste for seeing permanent structures
built on city land, effectively privatizing the space.
But, even as the council decided not to make the Bella
Vista Avenue and the Cliff Road homeowners remove a ga-
rage and a fence from public land, Mayor Bob McCaskill

leasing the land in those circumstances rather than giving
it away for free. He said in an interview the issue would
be a major topic of discussion at the city’s annual retreat
Oct. 9.
The first case the council heard concerned a project at
300 Bella Vista Ave., a property that slopes steeply down-
ward from the street above.
The $380,000 project from homeowners Denise and
Steve Bauer would tear down a dilapidated 410-square-foot
garage that lies on top of an accessory dwelling unit of the
same size. The current structure is adjacent to the street
and sits 14 feet, 5 inches over the property line.
The garage and the second unit, which were built around
the 1920s or ’30s, aren’t usable, according to a staff report.
Bauer said the garage doesn’t fit modern cars, and they
have to leave their car sticking halfway out to park in it.
The homeowners would then build a new garage and
second unit of the same size, pushing the structure back
about 3 feet. That means it would still be more than 11 feet
over the property line.

Land, from previous page
———
Project architect Phoebe Holscher said it
would be difficult to move the garage back
behind the property line on the steep lot
without creating a massive structure, and
she noted there are numerous public benefits
to allowing the garage to stay on city land.
She said it would replace an outdated struc-
ture with a new one that better matches the
overall feel of the 19th-century home.
Additionally, the new structure would
allow for two parking spots inside the ga-
rage along with three spots in the driveway,
taking away the need to park on the street.
McCaskill said he thought it was obvious
the design was good and noted he didn’t
want to force the homeowner to keep a ga-
rage in poor condition because of the city’s
new policy.
“I don’t think there’s any question that
this is a vast improvement that benefits
neighbors, the city, everyone and something
that we want to happen,” McCaskill said.
But he noted the project presented a “per-
fect storm” of troubling facts because of its
timing relative to the city’s new rules.
“Some months ago this council decided
that it was going to be a very rare occasion
where we would ever approve again a ga-
rage on city land … or build a building on
public land,” McCaskill said. “So I think that
certainly gave some of the councilmembers
some heartburn that we no sooner agree we
aren’t going to do something and here we are
getting ready to do it.”
He said the city should begin requiring
people to sign leases for the property they
are using for those structures. He said
there’s precedent for that, as the city makes
residents sign dock leases when they want
to use the city’s tide lots to build docks.
“There’s no logical explanation for why
you treat (docks) one way and (garages) the
other,” McCaskill said in an interview.
Justin Faggioli, a former mayor and
Golden Gate Avenue resident, said during
a public-comment portion of the hearing
the city doesn’t currently have a process for
leasing its land and that he thought it would
be “capricious” to single out this project as a
policy test without a process already being
in place.
Vice Mayor Nancy Kemnitzer agreed with
that sentiment, saying the council should
have more discussions about the issue but
shouldn’t delay the project and force the
homeowners to be the “guinea pig” for the
city’s policy.
She noted there were a substantial num-
ber of public benefits in the application pre-
sented.
Councilmember James Campbell pointed
out the structure has been there for almost
a century.
“It’s sort of there,” Campbell said. “It is
what it is.”
#LIFF2OADFENCETOREMAIN
The second hearing, concerning a prop-
erty at 2 Cliff Road, involves a fence that’s
about 6 feet tall and lies across more than
200 feet of the street frontage on Bayview
Avenue, above the home.
In August, the new homeowner, listed only
as Cliff Partners LLC, went to the council to
ask for a change to the revocable license that

would allow them to convert a small part of
the fence into a gate to access some new elec-
Friday
trical equipment. The rest of the fence would
have remained as it currently stands.
However, during that August hearing,
McCaskill wondered why the council should
allow the fence to remain standing at all,
on

noting it could be blocking views of the bay
from the street. The council delayed further
discussions on the project to gather more in-
formation.
September 28
Afterward, Elizabeth Suzuki, the architect
for the homeowner, withdrew the request for
the change to the revocable license, but the
MAIN
council held a hearing this month anyway to
determine whether or not it should allow the
fence to stay up.
Suzuki said the homeowner bought the
home thinking the fence was part of the
property, and the fence is part of a larger pe-
rimeter fencing around the home.
“This has all just come quite out of the
blue for him,” Suzuki said.
San Rafael Avenue resident Harry Somer-
field said he saw “no compelling reason” for Let’s get this party started!
the fence to be removed and questioned why
the council was discussing the issue at all.
“I don’t understand why it’s before you,
and it’s been there as long as I can remember
and I don’t see any reason why it should be

McCaskill pointed out it made sense to
talk about the fence, because the property
recently changed hands and the new home-
owner is going through a major $525,000
remodel on the home.

“My view was that this was an appropri-
ate time the city should enforce a rule,” Mc-

Caskill said in an interview.
But Campbell said he didn’t see a reason sponsored by:
to ask the owner to remove the fence when
they’re not proposing any changes to that
part of the property.
“I think it would be a strange precedent
to ask them to remove it because they’re
doing work on some other part of the house,”
Campbell said.
City staff noted in a report before the Sep-
tember meeting there is dense vegetation
behind the fence that would likely need to be

was removed.
Campbell added without views being
opened up from removing the fence, he
didn’t see what the benefit would be to the
city in taking the fence down and putting

more burden on Public Works to maintain
the area.
Kemnitzer said even if the fence remained

in place, she wanted to send out a notice to
the owner the fence and the land behind it
are in a “serious state of disrepair,” creat-
ing a fire hazard. She said the homeowner
should be notified they are in violation of
conditions of the license requiring mainte-
nance of the area, and the situation should
be rectified.
The council took no action on the revoca-
ble license other than affirming Kemnitzer’s
assertions.
McCaskill said in an interview although
he wanted to see the fence come out, he was
satisfied with Kemnitzer’s motion.

Two Tiburon breast-cancer survivors will
walk the runway Sept. 29 as part of the 23rd
annual Stepping Out To Celebrate Life fun-
draiser and fashion show to raise money for
nonprofit To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer
Foundation’s Bay Area grants program.
A 5:30 p.m. cocktail reception and silent

Models will be escorted on the runway by
local breast-cancer physicians. Among the
models are Steffney Crawford of Tiburon,
who was diagnosed with breast cancer in
2016 and underwent chemotherapy, a double
mastectomy and then radiation, reconstruc-

ease over the next eight months.
Also modeling is Doreen Davis-Owen of
Tiburon, who was diagnosed with breast

Though the girls currently playing in staples Sierra Nevada and La-
the CYO league didn’t know Tori LaRoc-
ca, Beauchamp said, they’ve come to un-
derstand her passion for volleyball and
the positive impact she had on her friends
and family.
A common refrain, Beauchamp said,
is: “Play like Tori. Play with heart. Play
with passion.”
“I think the girls realize the reason
we’re memorializing her is because she
was special and was one of those players
they should all aspire to be,” Beauchamp
said.
The teams, which come up with their
own names for the tournament, scrim-
mage each other in bracket play, leading
to a final match, Beauchamp said.
The division winners included the
fifth-grade Arctic Blobfish, the sixth-
grade Purple Turnips, the seventh-grade
Pucketeers and the eighth-grade Seniors.

50th Anniversary
A notable gathering of the Masonic frater-
nity will meet here the evening of October
15th to attend the fiftieth anniversary of
Marin Lodge No. 191, F. & A. M.
Freemasonry is the largest fraternal
order in the world, with the original guild re-
stricted to stonecutters. Sixteen freemasons
organized to help improve themselves and
the city of San Rafael in 1868 and formed
the 191st Masonic lodge in California.
Opposition to freemasonry comes from
either religious or political reasons. The
Roman Catholic Church has banned Catho-
lics from membership of freemasonry. One
of the persistent Catholic criticisms is that
freemasonry advocates a naturalist view
of creation. The tenet of free trade is one
of the political aspects of freemasons that
elicits political opposition. The element of
secrecy in the organization is a common
cause of opposition.
As its charter was granted on Oct. 15,
1868, Lodge 191 is approaching its 150th
anniversary on Oct. 15, 2018.

When Mrs. Abbott was named Citizen of

as a parent volunteer, she has directly moti-
vated and inspired other parents to dedicate
time and effort in both leadership roles and
smaller commitments to better the Mill Val-
ley School District, Marin County and the
state.
“Her dedication to school state funding
has inspired others to stay focused on the
larger issues,” McDonogh said. “Cecilia Ab-
bott’s strongest commitment is for quality
and equal education for all children in the
state of California.”

more money for Mill Valley schools.
She was born April 3, 1945, to Italian im-
migrants in the Little Italy neighborhood of
Baltimore.
She was named the Maryland representa-
tive in the 1962 Miss High School America
pageant before earning a bachelor’s in ap-
plied science and completing her registered-
nurse training at the University of Maryland
at College Park. She then moved to Wash-

George Washington University Hospital,
where she met her husband of 47 years, Rich-

Married on the rim of the Grand Canyon,
the two started their careers in Los Angeles
and then moved to Gallup, N.M., to work for

The 14th Dipsea race was won by a dark
horse, 20-year-old Percy Gilbert, with a time
of 56 minutes, 56 seconds. A newspaper
heading the evening before the race read:
“The Kaiser cannot stop the Dipsea Indi-
ans.” The first Dipsea Cross Country Race
organized under the auspices of the Dipsea
Indians of the Olympic Club was held on
Sunday, Nov. 19, 1905, from Mill Valley to
Dipsea by the Sea, actually Stinson Beach.
At that time, officers of the Dipsea Indians
included Grand Chief T.L. Fitzpatrick and
Chief Robert McArthur. This information
is taken from the program of the first Dip-
sea Race on page 1 of Barry Spitz’s 1993
book “Dipsea: The Greatest Race.”
The race, and most subsequent ones,
were received enthusiastically by the news-

Mrs. Abbott had two professional careers
following her early nursing career.
For 25 years, she was a wardrobe stylist
for Doncaster Designs at Tanner Compa-

she did client fittings.
She also owned and operated a 55-bed
facility, St. Raphael’s Home in Berkeley, for
those with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
In Strawberry, she raised funds for im-
proved lighting and landscaping. She served
on the board of The Redwoods senior com-

She was an early advocate of organic
foods and sound nutrition, as well as a
chemical-free environment, which became
her passion.
She was active in the Marin County

Women could not participate, as the
American Athletic Union banned women
from competing in long-distance races until
1971 because it was thought to be injuri-
ous to women’s health, particularly to their
reproductive organs. When the ban was

female finisher of the 61st Dipsea race in

“Everything is always so good, I forget how many entries
there are and start out by taking big bites,” she says. “But by
the end of the judging, I start to feel sick from all the sugar
and take smaller and smaller bites. It happens every year.”
The bake-off is just one of a slew of family-friendly activi-
ties to enjoy at the 13th annual fair, which runs from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m., with early VIP admission at 9 a.m., on Sept. 29
at Blackie’s Pasture in Tiburon. This year’s event will also
have carnival games, a petting zoo, bounce houses, extreme
air bungee, T-ball and a rock-climbing wall, as well as pony
rides, crafts and gold mining.
For the youngest fairgoers, there’s Tot Town, with a card-
board jail, hotel, bank, barn and Old St. Hilary’s Landmark,
and a “quiet room” where the children can go to escape the
commotion and listen to stories read by Bell.
Anyone who wishes to enter the bake-off must bring their
entries to the judges by 10:30 a.m. on the day of the fair.
On-stage entertainment scheduled for the day-long festival
includes Mr. Horsefeathers, a clown with comedy, magic and
juggling, and the popular Fur, Scales and Tails Animal Show,

bike valet on the premises.

a watch-and-touch show with all sorts of live critters. Also
performing are DJ JD and Young Performers International.
A variety of food will be available for purchase, including
snow cones, ice cream and pizza, as well as soft drinks. For
the adults, there will be a wine and beer booth.
Blackie’s Hay Day is hosted by Bookmarks, an auxiliary
of the Belvedere-Tiburon Library Foundation, with proceeds
from the event going toward the library’s children’s and teen
programs and services.
When the first Hay Day was held 13 years ago, Bookmarks
was brand new and largely comprised a group of mothers
with young children who wanted to help the local library
move from its small, one-room building next to the local post
office to a larger facility.
After the current library was built, Bookmarks turned its
focus to raising funds for children’s and teen programs.
In addition to Blackie’s Hay Day, which now typically at-
tracts about 2,500 people from across Marin County, Book-
marks holds two other annual fundraisers: February’s Teddy
Bear Tea party and a wreath auction in December.
Of the three fundraisers, Blackie’s Hay Day is by far the
most extravagant, requiring more than 250 volunteers and
15 special committees that operate under the direction of
this year’s event co-chairs, Pam Goldman, Karen Ripenburg,
Whitney Lee and Emilie Trimble.
Those volunteers include current and former Bookmarks
members as well as community residents, parents and grand-
parents. Also volunteering are teens who loved Hay Day as
young kids and now want to help it continue.
“This is our biggest fundraiser of the year,” Goldman says,
“but, in our eyes, it’s also a great community-building event.”

Renovation, continued from page 5
———
$3,120 for a one-bedroom, $4,480 for a two-
bed and $7,065 for a three-bedroom unit.
Rent is $16,000 per month for the exclusive
four-bedroom, 2,610-square-foot unit atop
The Pointe.
That compares with an average San Fran-
cisco one-bedroom renting for $3,261, two-
bedroom for $4,377 and three-bedroom for
$5,142, according to real-estate tracker Yardi
Matrix.
Keverne Denahan, 54, was among the
residents offered by Maximus to speak with
media.
She moved into one of the renovated two-
bedroom units with her husband and dog in
May 2017 after years in San Francisco.
They wanted to live in Tiburon, she said,
and The Cove — which features a private
marina with 50 slips — was the first hit on
the Google search.
“I was in the city a really long time, and the
city has changed,” Denahan said. “I wanted a
healthier lifestyle and a quieter environment. I
liked the marina because we have a sailboat.”
She declined to say how much her rent is,
but said the rent for this type of unit in the
complex is $5,000.
“It’s the smartest thing we’ve ever done,”
she said. “You get more amenities here. I like

JODMVEJOH

amenities.”
Few stayed through renovation
Of the nearly 300 units, however, Elliot
said just 10-15 of the tenants under lease be-
fore the renovation still live at the complex.


Maximus was willing to connect The Ark
with just one of them, 70-year-old Fred Fox.
After going through a divorce 14 years
ago, he moved downhill from the Tiburon
Highlands subdivision on Upper Cecilia
Way just across Tiburon Boulevard, where
he had lived for 10 years.
When he first moved into The Cove, Fox’s
rent was $2,200. By the time renovations
began, rent had risen to $2,800. Rents for
units like his now go for about $5,000 per
month.
“It’s a lot of money but, for now, consid-
ering the market, I’m getting value for the
money,” he said.
Fox’s apartment is right on the water. He
says he likes the fact that, as a cyclist, he can
ride right out the door to Greenwood Cove
Road and to Blackie’s Pasture and Old Rail
Trail.
A renovated dining and living room are seen Sept. 20 at The Cove at Tiburon apartment complex.
He says he likes the feeling that he’s liv-
ing at a resort. There’s free use of kayaks
and paddleboards, swimming pools, a gym,
an exercise room and several lounge areas,
while a full-time activities director manages
events and classes for adults and kids and a
dedicated sailboat and captain can be char-
tered by residents.
Though Fox was one of the few to stay,
many more left, either evicted or priced out
of the market.
‘I decided not to stay’
In the years leading up to the renovation,
families who were not able to afford a home
in Tiburon enjoyed The Cove complex be-
cause the units are in the Reed Union School
District, close to Bel Aire Elementary School,
and kids living there could ride their bicycles
to school, the store and Strawberry Recre-
ation Center. Seniors liked them because they
didn’t have to deal with maintenance issues
and because they could walk or drive easily
to The Cove Shopping Center or Blackie’s
Pasture. Still others liked them because the
complex is close to Highway 101 and offers a
quick drive to San Francisco.
When the renovation was first announced
in 2013, Maximus’ property manager, Sutro
Management Group, began mailing out evic-
tion notices. Other tenants were offered tem-
porary accommodations in the newly vacant
units while the work on theirs was going on.
Many alerted The Ark at the time, but
most didn’t want their names or identifying
ELLIOT KARLAN / FOR THE ARK
information — including their rent — to be
published.
Tenants, particularly those with children
in the Reed district, worried about where
they could live and stay in the school dis-
trict. Some were worried about whether they
would be able to afford the new rents, which
they were told would be brought up to mar-
ket rates. Maximus offered some residents
who couldn’t afford to stay the opportunity
to move to its Serenity at Larkspur complex
near the Larkspur Ferry Terminal — out of
the local school district.
“I decided not to stay,” said former Tiburon
Mayor Joan Bergsund, who moved to The
Cove for several years after moving back to
the Tiburon Peninsula after a period in So-
nora.
“I left because I didn’t want to go through
the chaos of moving in and out, and because
the rents were going to be so high,” she said.
“I also didn’t like the way the property was
being managed.”
Bergsund says she’s now happy in her
apartment in Belvedere.
Tenant Dean Myers didn’t stay, either.
“The construction noise was so bad from
the renovations, and then I learned what my
rent was going to be after my unit was ready,
which I couldn’t afford.”
He moved to a smaller apartment in Green-
brae before retiring to Redondo Beach in
Southern California.
“It was very sad for people who had been
there for so long,” Myers said of the renova-
tion evictions and rent spikes. “It was all
about the bottom line. There was no compas-
sion.”
Another longtime tenant, Terry Graham,
protested back in 2013 about how shabbily
the new ownership company treated the
longtime tenants, especially some of the el-
derly, in the period leading up to the start
of renovations. Disabled herself, she agreed
to move temporarily to another unit, but the
management company moved her to a unit
with stairs and other accessibility problems.
The Ark was unable to reach her for this
report, but Myers said he appeared as a wit-
ness in her court case against Maximus over
disability access, which he said she won.
-AJORIMPROVEMENTS
Elliott, however, said his company is proud
of how they handled the transition.
“We worked very hard to maintain great
relationships with tenants through the con-
struction phase,” he said.
And the renovations weren’t minor. Elliot
noted Maximus made major improvements
to the buildings, infrastructure and facilities
at The Cove over 10 phases, including:

Further, the 11 luxury residences in The
Pointe at Cove section boast waterfront loca-
tions on the Richardson Bay Audubon Sanc-
tuary, with a private beach, views of the city
and Richardson Bay, outdoor fireplaces and
overhead heat lamps on the balconies.
“(The Cove) was a diamond in the rough
when we acquired it, but we immediately
saw the potential of the location and the
opportunity to imagine what The Cove at
Tiburon could become,” Elliott said. “We be-
lieve we have created something very special
that captures the best of living in Marin.”

Museum of the African Diaspora:
“Second Look, Twice” features the print-
making of 15 contemporary artists of
African descent, including Glenn Ligon,
Martin Puryear and Kara Walker. Also on
display is “Ficre Ghebreyesus: City with a
River Running Through,” containing more
than a dozen of Ghebreyesus’ works. The
late Eritrean-American artist fled his home
country and made his life in the U.S. as a
political refugee.

of designs, materials and ideas. Any mari-
tal union traditionally would also involve
displaying wealth by a stack of cloth.
I found a range of values from $250 to
$4,500 for the textiles. The property was in
the top 25 percent of all Indonesian mate-
rial. Many well-known universities have
stellar Asian textiles, both as study pieces
and for exhibition. As has been common,
the West is slow to acknowledge the impor-
tance and value of cloth. College collections
help to improve this perception.

quickly picked up and spread by Bay Area
media outlets and foodie blogs, as well as
across social media.
The Main Street space, which had been
occupied by Guaymas Mexican restaurant
for more than 30 years, boasts a killer shore-
line location, with high corner-space visibil-
ity as the last stop of Tiburon Boulevard,
as well as two stories of outdoor decks and
doors that open right off the Tiburon Ferry
Landing and walkway.
The announcement also comes as local
white-tablecloth favorite The Caprice —
just across Shoreline Park above Elephant
Rock Pier on Paradise Drive — is making
upgrades under its new owner, Jerry Dal
Bozzo, who’s known for Salito’s Crab House
& Prime Rib in Sausalito and Osso Steak-
house in San Francisco, as well as S.F. tourist
favorites the Stinking Rose, the Franciscan,
the Crab Shack and the Old Clam House.
Mina’s restaurant development team, which
includes at least one representative of landlord
A&C Ventures of Sonoma, has already begun
discussions with town planning officials
about exterior and interior improvements
they’d like to make, although at press time,
no applications for design review or building
permits had been filed at Tiburon Town Hall.
Cairo-born Mina made his start in San
Francisco with Executive Chef George Mor-
rone, opening Aqua together and eventually
becoming executive chef there, establishing it
as a San Francisco favorite. In 2006, his San
Francisco namesake restaurant earned two
Michelin stars — one of just four Bay Area
restaurants to receive two stars at a time when
none had yet earned the three-star maximum.
Since partnering with tennis star Andre
Agassi in 2002 to start the Mina Group,
Mina has opened some 55 restaurants
around the country and beyond, exploring
a range of concepts. That includes his lat-
est high-profile projects in San Francisco:
International Smoke barbecue with Ayesha
Curry, wife of Golden State Warriors star
Stephen Curry, and Trailblazer Tavern, a
Hawaiian restaurant at Salesforce Tower
with James Beard-nominated chefs Michelle
Karr-Ueoka and Wade Ueoka.
But for his first restaurant in Marin, few ap-
pear to know exactly what Mina has planned.
Mina, who lives in Nicasio, reportedly
told Marin Magazine in 2009 that if he ever
opened a restaurant in the county, “it would
be the quaint, family-style Italian restaurant
that my wife, Diane, has always dreamed of
opening and running.”
But that was nearly 10 years ago, and Ital-
ian may not be the right fit, with Servino
Ristorante next door and Don Antonio’s up
the street. The Mina Group has now con-
firmed as much.
At the same time, Diane Mina is now, at
least temporarily, running her own pop-up
restaurant, Diane’s Bloody Mary, an instant-
ly popular brunch spot on Greenwich Street
in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow district. That
spot — with casual fare despite white table-
cloths at the ready for formal dining — in-
cludes a small kitchen-goods shop with a
branded line of gardening tools, clothing
and bottles of mixers, plus Diane herself be-
hind the bar.
The space is also more formally known
as the Mina Test Kitchen, meaning Diane’s
will likely go away — or perhaps move else-
where, closer to home? — to make room for
Mina’s next pop-up iteration.
If not Italian or bloody-mary brunch
bars, what would locals like to see in the old
Guaymas space?
“I think they should break the restaurant
into two spaces: a casual, family-friendly
space like Fish in Sausalito on the ground
floor and the other, upstairs, a more formal
restaurant with white tablecloths,” says Bel-
vedere City Councilmember James Campbell.
Bryan Chong, a Design Review Board
member who just moved from Corinthian
Island to Belveron with his family, says
he misses being so close to the downtown
Tiburon dining scene and is jazzed about a
new reason to head to Main Street.
“I would like to see something like Mina’s
Bourbon Pub near Levi’s Stadium in Santa
Clara,” he says. The snacks on the Bourbon
Pub menu, which offers “a casual atmo-
sphere serving reinvented pub fare,” include
truffle tater tots, Egyptian-style hummus, a
petite lobster pot pie and warm pretzels with
a beer cheese dip.
“I would love to see Michael Mina’s new
restaurant reflect his Egyptian roots, the
wonderful food he grew up with,” says en-
trepreneur and author Magdalena Yesil, a
Lyford Cove resident who was a founding
board member and first investor in Sales-
force, where Mina’s Trailblazer Tavern is set
to open.
“Mediterranean cuisine fits so well with
our Northern California’s healthy lifestyle,”
says Yesil, who grew up in Turkey. “Tiburon
resembles a quaint Mediterranean seaside vil-
lage, so a Southern Mediterranean restaurant
situated by the sea would be very fitting.”
“I think if it is going to be successful, then
it has to cater to the Tiburon/Belvedere com-
munity, but also special enough to draw the
weekend tourist industry, which we need for
our retail survival,” James Draeger of Belve-
dere wrote on community website Nextdoor.
com. “Perhaps not as fancy as some of the
S.F. locations. Just great food similar to Luna
Blu. I also think Poggio and Salito’s have
figured out how to make everyone happy
in Sausalito. Michael Mina’s restaurants are
so diverse. I think he can pull it off. In any
event, I love French food.”
“I’m a big fan of Michael since his Aqua
days!” Nora Clifford of Belvedere wrote on
Nextdoor. “So happy to hear this news.
Tiburon could use a sushi/Asian-fusion-
style restaurant (Pabu-esque) featuring the
ahi tartare a la Mina! Can’t wait.”
Angela McInerney says she was disap-
pointed to lose both Lily Kai Chinese res-
taurant at Point Tiburon Plaza and Tanoshi
Sushi at 41 Main St. within the past few
months, so she’d also like to see an Asian-
fusion restaurant.
Real estate agent Scott Woods says he
would like to see “a high-end California-style
seafood restaurant” like Waterbar on the
Embarcadero in San Francisco.
Former Sam’s Anchor Cafe co-owner
Brian Wilson says he wants Mina to bring
on the barbecue and open up an Interna-
tional Smoke downtown. One of Sam’s new
owners, Conor Flaherty, says he knows that
Mina’s restaurant will be big competition
but that he still sees it as “a great thing for
Sam’s and for downtown Tiburon.”
“I’m very excited about it,” Flaherty says.
“He’s a Michelin-starred chef known for the
quality of his restaurants.”
DeAnn Biss, the new executive director
of the Tiburon Peninsula Chamber of Com-
merce, says she might know more about the
plans than most people but doesn’t know
what kind of food they are going to have.
“What we need here is an elegant spot
to go out and for people to gather and have
parties, and that’s what I think they’re going
to do,” she says. “We need more spaces that
cater to adult birthday parties and lun-
cheons. More options would be good.”
Locals could get a big hint as to what
Mina has in mind for Tiburon when the res-
taurant development team files its permit
applications. That’s supposed to happen as
early as this week, according to Tiburon
Planning Associate Kyra O’Malley.

year; it had in a previous year paid its
$50,000 insurance deductible toward
the claim, according to town attorney
Benjamin Stock.
On Nov. 15, 2012, Tiburon police Offi-
cer Mike Slobodnik crashed his depart-
ment-issued Harley-Davidson into the
back of Jordan’s car on Tiburon Boule-
vard while he was heading to the scene
of a car accident.
Jordan had alleged Slobodnik was
traveling 50-60 mph heading around a
curve in the road when he lost control
of his motorcycle and crashed into her.
Another witness at the scene, however,
reported Slobodnik was only traveling
about 15 miles per hour.
Jordan also alleged Slobodnik had
negligently disabled the anti-lock brak-
ing system on the bike, which caused the
wheels to lock when he was faced with
a sudden-stop situation as he rounded a
bend on outbound Tiburon Boulevard
near Trestle Glen Boulevard.
Slobodnik admitted he disabled the
anti-lock brakes, asserting he did so
because the system had failed on him
twice previously and that he was more
experienced with manual brakes “due
to his lengthy professional and personal
experience driving motorcycles.”
Though Jordan did not report injuries
at the time of the accident, she alleged
that her head struck the door of the car
and her neck, spine, left arm and left leg
were all severely jarred.
Slobodnik suffered a broken collar-
bone and a concussion in the crash,
leaving him hospitalized for several
days and off the force for half a year.
Two years after the accident, Jordan
was again rear-ended by a driver on
Tiburon Boulevard, an accident that
her attorney Charles Roe has said ex-
acerbated the injuries she allegedly sus-
tained in the crash with Slobodnik. She
also filed a suit against that driver; that
suit was also settled this year for an ad-
ditional $100,000.
Jordan had sought to recoup damages
for medical expenses and loss of wages
after she claimed the accidents caused
injuries that she “will probably never
recover from,” including neck and back
pain that have required multiple surger-
ies, according to documents from her
suit.
Roe has estimated her medical
bills have been between $150,000 and
$200,000.
While the case against Tiburon origi-
nally appeared to be heading for a jury
trial, Roe said it would have been diffi-
cult to isolate which injuries and medi-
cal expenses were the results of which
accident. He said it ultimately seemed
like the best course to settle with both
parties.

Ferry, continued from page 1
———
Lands Commission in a Sept. 13 letter informed
State Parks isn’t allowed to sublease the struc-
tures or enter into third-party agreements —
such as a long-term contract for a ferry-service
provider — without the Lands Commission’s
approval.
“California State Parks is going to work with
the state Lands Commission to understand the
implications of a lease on the current and future
ferry-service operations at Angel Island State
Park,” Sandoval said in an emailed statement.
State Parks has said it wants to lock in a long-
term contract to ensure a reliable ferry provider
in advance of its plans to build 13 cabins on
Angel Island. It had been in the process of re-
viewing the only submitted bid for the service,
from Blue & Gold Fleet, which already operates
the Angel Island service from San Francisco
and the daily Tiburon-S.F. tourist ferry.
McDonogh’s Angel Island-Tiburon Ferry Co.
has been operating the Tiburon runs to Angel
Island since 1959 and has been operating under
a month-to-month contract with the state since
1993. She declined to submit an official bid by
State Parks’ Aug. 24 deadline, calling the terms
of the long-term contract “ruinous.”
Among her concerns, she said the contract as
proposed would shift millions of dollars worth
of deferred maintenance on the piers and other
parts of the dock infrastructure to the ferry op-
erator. The contract also didn’t factor rises and
falls in passenger numbers due to economic
conditions into the rent requirements, she said.
Though she failed to submit a bid, she has
since said she’ll continue to fight to retain the
ferry-service contract, starting a Change.org
petition that argued her business should be
given special consideration because it’s woman-
and family-owned and all its employees live in
Marin.
She’s also rallied the support of two state legis-
lators, state Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg,
and Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael.
The pair wrote a joint letter to the parks depart-
ment earlier this month concluding the bidding
process was unfairly weighted toward larger
providers and appeared alongside McDonogh
at a Sept. 17 press conference at McDonogh’s
Tiburon dock where she highlighted the Lands
Commission’s concerns.
McDonogh said she is optimistic about the
outcome of the discussions between State Parks
and the Lands Commission.
“I am looking forward to finally, after all these
years, sitting down and coming to an agree-
ment, so we can continue to service Tiburon,
the community and the island,” McDonogh said
Sept. 21. “I’m flexible. Let me do what I do best.”
Meanwhile, the paused process raises ques-
tions about Blue & Gold Fleet’s role in the equa-
tion.
Blue & Gold President Patrick Murphy in a
statement reiterated expanding the company’s
service to include the Tiburon-to-Angel Island
route was a “natural fit.”
He noted the company had “carefully and
thoughtfully prepared a proposal which was de-
livered to the California State Parks Department
in Sacramento before the bid process closed.”
“We trust the process will be handled fairly,”
he said.

When creating their vision for their East Strawberry Drive home, Jason and
Sally Beccaris first turned to social-media network Pinterest to find and save
images and ideas that inspired them. ‘We liked the Eichler feeling,” says
Jason Beccaris. ‘We knew we wanted a bright, open look, but not too open.’

The open corridor created under-

and the original home, “became so
much more than a pass-through,”
says contractor Chas Voorhis of Corte

Madera-based Abacus Builders, be-
cause the family decided to turn that
space into an outdoor theater where
they can watch TV and movies.
It sports built-in concrete benches
with cushions facing a huge screen
that can be hidden behind a cedar
wall when not in use. The space fea-
tures surround sound, lighting and
heating.
Voorhis says the location of the
bridge addition was a perfect way to
connect the pool, which was refin-
ished and outfitted with a saltwater
system, to the house. The hillside
backyard also features two fire pits
and a vegetable garden.
Designer Wendi Stallings of
Private Label International, who
lives just down the street from the
Beccaris family, got creative inside
the house — but she didn’t want the
design to be over the top.
“We kept things simple, so as not
to take away from the furniture and
artwork,” Stallings says.
In the living room, which sports
its original popped-up ceiling, the TV
mounted to the wall can be hidden by
a sliding walnut barn door. It hangs
over a newly designed horizontal
fireplace that replaced the original
vertical one.
A painting by the Beccarises’
neighbor, artist Kris Brewer, hangs
opposite the TV wall.
The Beccarises’ achieved the sleek kitchen countertops they desired by finding
unique storage solutions, including this freestanding cabinet that contains their
refrigerator and provides storage for dishware. At right, a large and extra-deep
appliance garage holds coffee makers, a microwave and a toaster oven, keeping
the counters uncluttered.
Stallings came up with another clev-
er wall solution to partially divide the
kitchen from the dining area — what
she calls the “refrigerator wall.” It’s a
walnut structure that hides the fam-
ily’s refrigerator and contains storage
on both sides and above.
Because the Beccaris family want-
ed sleek counters, Stallings stole
some space from the garage, which
is adjacent to the kitchen, to create a
screened alcove that holds all of the
family’s kitchen appliances. The vi-
sual impact of the stove hood is mini-
mized, because it is installed inside a
soffit covered in the same white tile
used throughout the kitchen. Also
out of sight when need be are the au-
tomated polyester blinds, which are
hidden behind valances.
Oversized glass doors through-
out the home push out and slide like
screens, which add to the feeling of
openness. The white-oak floors are
in many areas accented with Flor
carpet tiles, which Stallings calls
“user-friendly.
“They’re flexible, can be replaced
easily and can be put together like a
puzzle — and they’re washable.”
Though the interior design is
streamlined, there are still details
that pop out.
“There are just moments of color
throughout the house — accents of
blue, orange and chartreuse favored
by the owners,” Stallings says.
Another standout detail is the light
fixture over the dining table — a large
starlike object inspired by Sputnik.
The home’s simplicity belies its
connection to technology —the cou-
ple can control just about everything
going on in and around the house on
their smart phones and in their Tesla.
While the remodel — nearly a re-
build — took a long time, it could
easily have been even more compli-
cated and lengthy if there had been
any prior work done to the home,
Voorhis says.
“We were lucky, because we didn’t
have to deal with any sins committed
in any prior remodels,” he says.
Cross called the Beccarises “chin-
up” clients who were engaged
throughout the entire process.
And those driving by the house
that still looks like it belongs in the
neighborhood would never guess
what unique touches exist inside.

‘Artstream’ trailer

hen Melanie Victor-Smith and her husband,
Jeff Smith, bought a gutted, 22-foot 1954
Airstream trailer three years ago, they
planned to use it for family vacations — but
life got in the way, and it sat in their Straw-
berry backyard, unrepaired and unused.
The couple then decided the trailer would
make a good guest room. However, it still
needed a lot of tender loving care to make
that happen, because the interior had only
electrical wiring and interior siding. And
the family, which includes the couple’s
daughters, Sydney and Georgia, was still
too busy to work on it.
Then Victor-Smith, an artist representa-
tive whose clients include Marin County
artists Ethan Okamura and Brian Andrews,
thought of turning the Airstream into what
she calls an “Artstream.”

“Trying to sell artwork through shows is
tough,” she says.
She checked into creating more exposure
for her artists by having a retail store but
realized the cost and commitment of a per-
manent place was too much.
“Then I realized I had empty wall space
sitting in the trailer in our driveway and
thought it would be perfect for a pop-up re-
tail space,” Victor-Smith says. “I tell friends
that I hijacked the trailer from my family.”
She started out by writing a business
plan and looking for Airstream retrofitters.
She found they were few and far between,
and those who could do the work had no
shortage of other projects. She was finally
able to get on the work schedule of Artistic
Airstreams, a company based in Concord.
With their help, and after much research

Strawberry resident Melanie Victor-Smith turned her family’s gutted, 22-foot

1954 Airstream trailer into what she calls an ‘Artstream’ — a mobile art gal-
lery she uses to showcase limited-edition, small-batch prints by local artists.

designs, she drew up her plans.
The retrofitting began last January. With a blank canvas to work
with, the first step was cutting into the side of the trailer to make two
large display doors to give a wide view of the artwork.
Next, a laminate wood floor and cabinets were installed. The walls
of the trailer were all painted white and a seating area with foam
cushions, throw pillows and a coffee table were added.
A heater and air conditioner were also installed. In addition, there’s
a generator in case the trailer needs to park somewhere without ac-
cess to electricity.
Before fully committing to the venture, Victor-Smith came across a
bright red and white 1966 Ford pickup truck for sale.
“As soon as I realized the truck was made the same year I was
born, it felt like a sign,” she says. “Then when I smelled the gasoline
and heard it swishing in the gas tank behind the seat, I remembered
my dad fixing cars for me to drive, and I was hooked.”
Victor-Smith now uses “The Beast” — her nickname for the pickup
truck — to pull her Artstream trailer to venues across Marin County.
The concept of the Artstream seemed like the natural next step in
the evolution of Victor-Smith’s career. While her background has been
primarily in sales and marketing in the finance world, she has always
had a creative streak. She started focusing more on that creative side
about five years ago when she started working with Sausalito-based
artist Eric Zener.
While Victor-Smith is the first to say she doesn’t have an extensive
background in the art world, she also seems to have found a niche that
she can represent authentically — limited-edition, small-batch prints by
local artists showcased in a nontraditional setting. She believes with the

Melanie Victor-Smith (right) looks on as Sausalito resident Brian Andrews and his wife, Nora Sawyer,
look at some of the works displayed in Victor-Smith’s Artstream, which was parked near the Sausalito
Art Festival over Labor Day weekend. Victor-Smith, an artists representative who lives in Strawberry,
converted an Airstream into the mobile art gallery to showcase small-batch prints by local artists.

Artstream she will create a more welcoming
environment than traditional brick-and-
mortar galleries, making contemporary art
more accessible in a fun and design-forward
setting. The Artstream features an espresso
machine as well as iPads for visitors to look
at other images her artists have for sale.
However, the process didn’t progress
without some anxiety. One night, during
the time when she was still learning how to
hook up the trailer and truck, she had a par-
ticularly scary nightmare: She dreamed she
was pulling her Artstream behind her truck
and suddenly realized she had only fastened
the safety chain, not the hitch.
“The trailer was simply floating behind
me in my dream,” she says. “By the time
I woke up, my heart was beating a mile a
minute with palpitations.”
Turning the Airstream into an Artstream
took more time and money than expected,
Victor-Smith says. The final step in achiev-
ing her vision was the application of the
logo after having the entire exterior buffed
and polished. All the work was completed in
August, seven months after it started.
“But it was well worth it,” Victor-Smith
says. “It turned out to be a stunning combi-
nation of truck and trailer.”
In the initial stages, Victor-Smith intends
to keep her stable of artists small, but she
plans to add-on as the business grows.
“The whole idea is to create an experience
that is unique and customized for each home-
owner’s wall space,” she says. “I really enjoy
finding the perfect image, size and substrate
for each client — something that makes them
smile when they see it in their homes.”
The Artstream held its grand opening over
Labor Day weekend, when it was parked on
Liberty Ship Way in Sausalito, just around
the corner from the Sausalito Art Festival.
Victor-Smith’s future plans include bring-
ing the Artstream to art walks and special
events across Marin County and eventually
expanding into the greater Bay Area and
beyond.
“That’s the beauty of the mobile aspect,”
she says.

some time, she grew eager to get out in the
backyard and feel the dirt in her hands
rather than be confined to the studio.
“I thought to myself at the time, I’m 50
years old, I want to be out in the garden. I
don’t want to be in there making ceramic
fountains for everyone else,” she says.
Hooker did her first major landscape ren-
ovation of the garden in 1980 with the help
of Bay Area landscape architect Topher
Delaney. From there, the space has grown
into a complex puzzle with many different
sections that fit together to create one cohe-
sive hillside garden.
Near the top of the garden, where the
sun hits the hill most intensely, lies the
succulent section. The unusual collection
of water-storing plants include euphorbia,
kalanchoe, aloe and echeveria. Some suc-
culents line the stone pathways with their
shades of red, green and blue-green.
Hooker’s affinity for succulents origi-
nated in the desert of Palm Springs, where
she was raised.
“I have been very attracted to cultural
kinds of plants and plants that reference my
childhood,” she says.

activities Hooker lends her attention to in
the garden. She spends time in the garden
every day, even if just for 10 minutes. The
maintenance of the garden has lessened
significantly over the years, she says, but
she still has a small team of maintenance
workers who tend the space weekly.
There are challenges associated with
developing and caring for the garden, she
says, including deciding where to place
plants and how to water. Her oak trees
require large amounts of water, which led
her to place other water-hungry plants near
the base. The soil in her backyard, and
throughout Northern California, contains a
lot of clay, which must be amended consis-
tently, she says.

Stay busy in the

garden this fall
with planting and
pruning tasks
By DIANE LYNCH | dlynch@thearknewspaper.com

F
all is a busy time in the garden,
despite what the coming of
winter may be saying to you.
As we anticipate rain and cooler
weather, there is much to do
outside, from cleaning the gutters and
eliminating fire danger to tuning up and
storing tools. Beyond maintenance, there
are many things you can do to improve
the garden in the fall, including planting
a winter vegetable garden, adding more
plants to the landscape, pruning trees and
cleaning up fuel during wildfire season.
Mild winter weather
can produce bountiful veggies
Would you like some nice veggies from
the garden over the winter months? Marin
has the perfect mild winter weather to
yield a lot of produce from the garden.
Plant lettuce, chard, spinach, radishes,
broccoli, peas, cabbage, kale and carrots.
You should plant the seeds now while the
soil is still warm so they get a good start
— then you can harvest through the win-
ter months until things start going to seed
in the spring. You can also get starts from
the nursery, though starting from seed is
more satisfying as you put the unassum-
ing little brown seeds in the ground and
watch them germinate and grow up. An- DIANE LYNCH / FOR THE ARK
other big plus with seeds is the incredible If you don’t want to plant seeds, you can get six-packs of vegetables like kale, broccoli and peas from

variety of vegetables available — you’re able to branch
out from the limited varieties available in six packs.
You can easily grow your own garlic by planting the
cloves about 6 inches apart and harvesting them next
July when the tops start to die back. For best results,
buy a bulb at a nursery instead of using one from the
grocery store. The softneck varieties will store better and
keep longer than hardneck varieties. Store in a cool well-
ventilated place after hanging them outside in the shade
for a couple of weeks. You could try both and plan to use
the more flavorful hardneck garlic first.
The key to growing vegetables is sun, so if you’re new
to vegetable gardening look for a spot in your garden
that gets at least half a day of sunshine. Top dressing, or
working a little composted manure into the soil, will get
those seeds off to a good start. A drip system will pro-
vide an optimal level of moisture and leave you the option
of not sprinkling every day, but every garden benefits
from a gardener who visits frequently to pull a weed here
and there and make sure things are doing OK.
Add variety to the garden with new plants
Fall is the best time to add plants to the garden, though
it can be challenging to find some plants in the fall, as
nurseries tend to stock what’s in bloom. Ask local nurser-
ies such as Green Jeans Garden Supply in Strawberry
and Bayside Garden Center in Tiburon if they can order
what you’d like, or just take a stroll through and see if
something strikes you. Autumn is a good time to try out
something new in the garden, as the winter rains will
help it root in to get ready for spring when everything
bursts forth.
I have an underlying desire to nurture habitat, especial-
ly for birds, but I sometimes get sidetracked by scented
geraniums, hydrangeas and Japanese maples. I recently
put in some monarda, or bee balm, which the humming-

birds love, and I hope I’m up to the challenge of keeping it
watered. Over the past few years I’ve put several variet-
ies of milkweeds in for the monarch butterfly caterpillars,
and I recently found the first swallowtail larvae on the
bronze fennel I put in last fall. Welcoming nature into my
garden is one of my joys.
Keep a focus on fire safety
Along with our constant concern about using plants
that need less water, we also have fire danger to consider
now. There’s a connection between using adequate water
in the landscape and surviving a fire. Though lawns are
high water-use and don’t really fit very well in our dry
summer climate, having a well-irrigated lawn, or any
landscape for that matter, could save your house in the
event of a fire, especially if you abut the wildland-urban
interface, open-space areas that are unmaintained and
are often fire-prone.
The Firesafe Marin website has a list of plants that
ignite readily and burn intensely, which the group recom-
mends removing from your landscape if possible. Those
include: black acacia; arborvitae; bamboo; California bay;
chamise; coyote brush; cypress; eucalyptus, especially
blue gum; firs; purple fountain grass; French, Spanish
and Scotch broom; gorse; hemlock; juniper; pampas
grass; rosemary; pine; spruce; and tanoak.
LIVE LOCAL
Local Resident, Local Agent, Local Knowledge.
R.B. Mill Valley

s T H E A R K | HOME 17
At the very least, all ignitable plants should be re-
moved to at least 30 feet from your house and 10 feet
from driveways and roads. If you can’t or don’t want to
remove them, they should be irrigated every two weeks
during the summer and kept stripped of all dry foliage.
As you survey your garden, think of every dry piece of
vegetation as potential fire fuel.
There are dozens of plants that Firesafe Marin recom-
mends installing in a garden, including: succulents, ma-
ples, citrus, oaks, Zauschneria, California poppy, Douglas
iris, madrone, matilija poppy, monkey flower, Pacific wax
myrtle and so on. The most important part of this equa-
tion is to be sure your landscape is well-hydrated going
into fire season, which now extends for a good part of
the year. This may mean a higher water bill, but oh well.
Visit firesafemarin.org to see the whole list of recommen-
dations for making your landscape more resistant to fire
as you create defensible space.
Fall into winter is also the best time to prune your
trees. The birds are pretty much finished nesting, but
be sure to ask your arborist to keep an eye out for nests.
Fruit trees are typically pruned in January when they are
dormant. This is a signal to the tree to get going to flower
and produce fruit — the biological imperative. If you
have a fruit tree that produces too much, consider late
summer pruning, which will slow fruit production.
Above all else, get out in the garden and enjoy the
amazing show that nature provides. As one of my fa-
vorite authors, Michael Pollan, says in “Second Nature:
A Gardener’s Education”: “A garden should make you
feel you’ve entered privileged space — a place not just
set apart but reverberant — and it seems to me that, to
achieve this, the gardener must put some kind of twist
on the existing landscape, turn its prose into something
nearer poetry.”

Tiburon for more than 25 years and has contributed to
The Ark since 2002.

in a mixing bowl with the olive oil, cumin, sugar,
garlic, thyme, oregano sprigs, lemon strips, ½
teaspoon of flaked salt and a good grind of pep-
per. Mix to combine, then transfer to a baking
sheet just large enough — about 6 inches by 8
inches — to fit all the tomatoes together snugly.
Place the sheet about 2 inches beneath the
broiler and roast for 20 minutes, until the to-
matoes are beginning to blister and the liquid is
bubbling. Turn the oven to the broil setting and
broil for 6-8 minutes, until the tomatoes start to
blacken on top.
While the tomatoes are roasting, combine
the yogurt with the grated lemon zest and ¼

Once the tomatoes are ready, spread the
chilled yogurt on a platter (with a lip) or in a
wide, shallow bowl, creating a dip in it with the
back of a spoon. Spoon the hot tomatoes on
top, along with their juices, lemon strips, garlic
and herbs, and finish with the oregano leaves
and chile flakes. Serve at once.

Bees, continued from page 20
———
The phenomenon was first reported
about 2006 and was seen as a major
threat to the honeybee population. How-
ever, reported cases of colony collapse
disorder appear to have declined in recent
years. According to a U.S. Department
of Agriculture honeybee health survey
released in August 2017, colony collapse
disorder losses were down 27 percent
from 2016 for honeybee operations with
at least five colonies.
“That’s really what got a lot of people
into it,” Morse says. “Once you get that
ball rolling, it just expands out.”
Belvedere residents Rob Slaymaker
and Richard Hyde were both aware of
colony collapse disorder when they each
got interested in beekeeping. But they
were also drawn to the activity out of a
genuine curiosity.
Hyde’s interest in beekeeping was
piqued when he noticed a hive in the
backyard of a friend's neighbor in Tibu-
ron.
“I kept bugging them to tell me who
was taking care of that thing,” says Hyde,
who now has several backyard hives.
Slaymaker was introduced to beekeep-
ing after his cousin gave him a kit about
10 years ago and now has two backyard
hives.
Bees “are fascinating little creatures,
and they do such amazing things to your
garden,” he says.
Beehives are often structured like mini
apartment buildings, with different levels
stacked vertically on top of each other.
The basic components of the structure
typically include a couple of brood cham-
bers, which are the bottom boxes of the
hive and are where the colony keeps its
eggs, larvae and pupae as well as some
pollen, nectar and honey.
The top boxes are known as supers,
and they contain any excess honey the
hive produces.
Both types of boxes typically contain
up to 10 frames containing a thin sheet of
beeswax — where the bees store honey
and pollen and where the queen lays
eggs — that can be removed in order to
inspect the bees or extract excess honey.
An excluder, often consisting of a wooden
frame holding a grid of plastic or metal
wire, is placed between the brood cham-
ber and supers. The excluder has space
big enough for the worker bees to walk
through but too small for the queen, so
the queen can’t get into and lay eggs in
the surplus honey.
Hives can contain anywhere from
45,000 to 60,000 bees, Slaymaker says,
depending on the time of year.
‘In awe to the bees’
There’s a seasonal cycle to a colony’s
work, Smith says. The early spring rains
bring increased nectar flow, with the bees
working as a colony to collect nectar and
pollen and manage those resources. The
bees are most active through late May,
after which hive starts declining, with the
queen slowing down its egg production.
The colony relies on the honey it’s stored
during the more active part of the year to
get it through the winter.
Beekeepers are there to basically assist
the process, adding increased storage
Honeybees are seen near the entrance to a beehive. Hives can contain anywhere from about 45,000
to 60,000 bees, depending on the time of year.
during the bees’ peak production times
and taking it away during the slower
times, Smith says.
“You’re really in awe to the bees,” he
says. “You’re there to help them have a
happy home.”
There are varying degrees of involve-
ment for those who want to keep hives in
their backyard. Slaymaker distinguishes
between bee-havers, who are fairly
hands-off and may even have someone
else come into their yards to care for the
hives, and beekeepers, who are typically
more active in monitoring their hives on a
consistent basis.
Even among beekeepers, though, some
are more active in their hives than others.
Activities range from managing pests
and observing the bees’ behaviors to
breeding queens and splitting colonies to
create new hives.
Though Smith, Hyde and Slaymaker
all monitor their hives fairly consistently,
they also share an overall philosophy of
letting the bees do their thing. Watching
the inner workings of the colonies, they
say, is captivating.
“I sit and watch them work,” Slaymak-
er says. “It’s fascinating just watching
them land on the landing board in front
of the hive and do their little dance to tell
the other ones where the honey is and
looking at what they’ve got on their legs
that they’re bringing back.”
The division of labor and teamwork
within the hive is extraordinary, he and
Hyde agree. Each of the bees in a colony
has its own duties. Some are drones,
male bees that mate with an unfertilized
queen. Females that are unable to pro-
duce fertilized eggs are worker bees, but
even those worker bees are divided fur-
ther into other categories, such as nurse
bees, which care for the growing larvae;
foragers, which collect nectar and pol-
len; cleaning bees, which clear debris; or
undertaker bees, which remove dead bees
from the hive — the list goes on.
“You even have a bee that goes around
and wakes (the others) up when it’s light
and time to go to work,” Hyde says.
The more he observes and learns about
the bees, Smith says, the more interesting
beekeeping becomes.
“You kind of go, ‘There’s a lot more
going on here than just some flying in-
JOCELYN KNIGHT / FOR THE ARK
sects that are buzzing around flowers,’”
he says.
Many Marin beekeepers
‘under the radar’
It’s unclear exactly how many back-
yard beekeepers reside on the greater
Tiburon Peninsula. Slaymaker and Hyde
say they know of about a half-dozen
other beekeepers in Belvedere, through
they’re quick to add that’s certainly not a
comprehensive list.
There are no regulations for beehives
on the books in Belvedere or unincor-
porated Marin County, which includes
Strawberry — the county encourages
beekeepers to “use best management
practices to avoid creating a nuisance.”
But Tiburon in 2012 adopted zoning
rules that lifted a previous ban on bee-
keeping in residential areas but required
the activity be regulated. Aspiring back-
yard beekeepers in Tiburon can have up
to four hives, but they must get all their
immediate contiguous neighbors to sign
off on the activity, provide documentation
they’ve had some beekeeping training
or education and pay the town a $250
filing fee. In the absence of unanimous
consent of their neighbors, they must get
the permission of the Tiburon Planning
Commission and pay a $1,540 fee for a
conditional use permit.
Smith was recently required to obtain a
retroactive conditional use permit for his
hives, originally built without the town’s
permission, after a neighbor complained.
Slaymaker says he thinks there is some
concern among many Marin County bee-
keepers about making their hives known.
Different communities have different
regulations, he points out, and neighbors
aren’t always receptive to the idea of
backyard hives.
As a result, he says, “People are just
under the radar.”
Morse agreed, noting local beekeepers
are “always doing it on the down-low.”
Morse says a lot of the pushback
from cities or neighbors about backyard
beekeeping stems from misconceptions
about honeybees. People are particularly
prone to confusing honeybees, which
are typically gentle, with yellow jackets,
which are much more aggressive, Morse
says.

“You could live your whole life with a
(honey)bee colony next door and not even
know they’re there,” she says. “Unless
you’re in their home, they’re very unlikely
to sting or do anything.”
Anecdotal information points to a
booming local community, say both
Smith and Hyde.
Hyde points out he often participates in
the Marin County Beekeepers’ booth at
the annual Marin County Fair, and he’ll
ask those who stop by if they have any
neighbors with hives.
“Frequently, I get a ‘yes,’” he says.
“Neighbors or friends.”
Beekeeping can foster
connection with environment
Those with neighbors and friends who
keep hives often reap the benefit of the
excess honey beekeepers like Smith, Slay-
maker and Hyde extract periodically. The
number of times a beekeeper harvests
excess honey can vary depending on the
number, size and activity of their hives.
Bees need about 40 pounds of stored
honey to make it through the winter,
Hyde says. When beekeepers harvest
honey, Slaymaker says, they only do so
from the honey supers, the part of the
hive that contains the excess honey the
bees won’t rely on in the winter months.
Even then, Slaymaker says, he rarely
harvests all the excess honey, and there’s
still plenty to go around.
“I haven’t bought sugar in 10 years,”
he says.
Hyde and Smith also gift the honey
they harvest to friends and neighbors; in
addition, Hyde says he sells some of the
product at Mill Valley Market, or some-
times his grandkids sell it at the park.
But Morse says there’s a wider com-
munity benefit to a strong beekeeping
community in Marin County.
Interacting with bees, she says, encour-
ages people to interact with the environ-
ment on a different level and often has
a positive impact on their habits. They
become more aware of weather patterns
and pay more attention to the chemicals
they or their neighbors are using or
not using in their yards. Some will say
neighbors have asked them what kinds of
things they can plant in their own yards
to create a bee-friendly habitat.
Morse says she sees the local increase
in beekeeping as having the potential to
cause “a total shift in social conscious-
ness.”
“The individual choices that we need to
make every day really collectively do add
up to create a sustainable future, or a not-
sustainable future,” Morse says.
She cautions that beekeeping is not an
easy activity —it takes time, patience
and dedication. However, the effort is
worth it, she says, and the opportunities
for learning are endless.
“They have way more to teach us than
what we get from them, I think,” she says.
