From the Editor’s Desk
There are so many events going on around here this month that you would have to be
three people just to attend them all. Car shows, hip hop music, fireworks, BBQ’s, chamber
music, a flyfishing movie, the Point Arena parade... the list is almost endless. Peruse these
pages to find all that you could want to do this month.
Local librarian, Terra Black, has taken a month off from doing the book review and is using
her space instead to express her feelings about the place of libraries in our public priorities.
See page 7
Gualala Chiropractor, Daniel Brannigan, is interested in introducing another form of energy healing to his practice. Read his comments about Cold Laser on page 8.
That flyfishing movie I mentioned is co-sponsored by the Arena Film Club and Friends
of the Gualala River. It will be screened at the Arena Theater on Monday, July 13 at 7:00
p.m. I’m told that it is a knock-out film about the history of this once-fantastic fishery. Local
Fish and Game Advisory Commission Chair and long-time fly fishing guide, Craig Bell, will
present the film.
It was just a few months ago that I was bemoaning the fact that several area restaurants were
closing their doors. At the time I expressed the belief that others would soon take their
places. It certainly seems that I was right. The Palmers, of course, took over Carlini’s former
location next to the Theater in Point Arena, the Coop market is about to open for limited
food service, Fogeaters is opening in The Record Building (see cover), and John and Tracy
DuPont, owners of the commercial building at the cove, are opening a chowder and beer
parlor in the upstairs restaurant. Soon in Point Arena there will be 9 locations between Rollerville Cafe and the Cove where you can get a nosh at some point during the day (can you
count them?). If that isn’t a sign that at least some feel that the economy is on the rebound,
I don’t know what would be. Hope springs eternal, they say, and I think we might expect
a pretty good visitor summer despite the negativity we see every day on the tube. You can
take the money out of California, but you can’t take the fun out of it. Good luck to all of you
brave and wonderful restaurant owners.
The Arena Theater has booked the new Harry Potter movie which is coming July 15 and
running for two weeks. That is when the SF Mime Troupe always appears here, so some
some folks got the idea that they weren’t coming this year. Are you kidding! They haven’t
missed a year here since the mid-80’s when they started coming here. We have become
almost as solid a venue as Dolores Park- and a lot more lucrative. Their booking has been
moved to August 13, so save the date. Tickets should be on sale soon. Check the Theater

The debate about health care is really
ramping up these days. Perhaps now we as
a nation can have a serious discussion about
our wildly expensive, yet clearly inadequate
manner in which we deliver health services.
Several points come to mind.
The first, of course, is the absurd notion
that the government can’t run a health care
system. They run a lot of other systems
pretty well. Federal prison system, Customs
and Immigration, air traffic controllers,
interstate highway system, FCC, and, oh
yeah, what about the millions and millions
of people who are already a part of our
existing national health care system. They
are all the people in the military and their
dependents, all the people on Medicaid,
people on Medicare, Coast Guard members,
and, most of all, veterans. Did I forget to
mention all the members of Congress?
All of the veterans that I have talked to
about their experiences with the VA report
that service has been good or very good. I
know that there have been well publicized
cases of poor care, but ask any vet if he or
she would like to trade what the VA gives
them for a private plan and see what they
say.
Some of you are too young to remember,
but this country used to have a wonderful
system of public health hospitals that
served even more people than all those who
currently depend on government run health
care. Before Nixon managed to close most
of them, they served fisherman, federal
workers, merchant seaman, and others.
The simple fact is that a government
run system is already serving millions and
millions of us and few of them wish it would
go away.
The delivery system that we have for
providing medical care is nuts. Why do I
need to see someone with 7 or so years of
training when I simply have a sinus infection
and need a script for antibiotics? In the
Russian system (there you Bolsheviks go
again) your first point of contact is with
someone with limited training; like our
EMTs. If they can satisfactorily treat the
patient, which they often can, end of story.
If not, they bump the patient up to another
higher level of training, say, an RN or a
chiropractor or a nutritionist. If there is
no help there, then on to the next until, if
necessary, a specialist with all the training
necessary to meet your needs is treating
you. I believe that it is rare that people
seeking medical assistance really need to se
a MD. Most of what doctors do is diagnosis
and that involves experience as much as
anything—and access to test labs. Frankly, I
would rather see a Family Practitioner with
twenty years experience than an MD fresh
out of school.
There are various reasons why things
are the way they are, but much of it comes
down to control of the system. Any time
that you have a system that is designed to
make money (such as ours), then people
naturally are going to try to control it for
the purpose of getting a bigger share of the
money. Are you beginning to see the AMA,
the drug companies, and HMO’s lurking?
The idea of a government option is
so obvious. I thought competition was
the soul of free enterprise. Insurance
companies are already competing with each
other (supposedly), so why should they fear
a government option? Could it be that the
bureaucrats running the government plan
won’t be paid a nine-figure salary and the
government won’t have to spend hundreds
of millions on advertising and many millions
more bribing Congressmembers? That is
some pretty serious cost savings right there.
If the government runs a lousy plan,
then people won’t buy it. If it really serves
the needs of the people then it would set a
standard that insurance companies would
have to meet in order to get customers. Isn’t
that how our system works?
The main thing about a government option
that appeals to me is that I think that if I
needed to make a claim on my government
plan, I wouldn’t have to worrying that they
have people servicing my claim whose
sole job is to figure out why I shouldn’t get
covered. The fact that insurance companies
have an incentive to deny coverage is the
most despicable part of our health care
system. I believe that worry about whether
our insurance is going to pay off is a huge
factor affecting people’s recovery.
The other thing about a government
option is that its administrators would
constantly be looking for ways to lower the
cost of health care. It would inevitably lead
them to alternative practices. This is the
unspoken gorilla in the closet for the AMA.

The Bookmobile was recently placed on
the chopping block, slotted for closure yes, our beloved Bookmobile! Mendocino
County dug deep and came up with funds
to save it, with Board Chairman and 3rd
District Supervisor John Pinches stating,
“I have no interest whatsoever about
closing the Bookmobile…It comes down
to the priorities. It’s something the people
of Mendocino County hold near and dear
to their hearts.” While this news created
a collective sigh of relief, it still feels like
we won this battle while the war rages
on. Next year the libraries of Mendocino
County could very well be subjected to
more cuts and layoffs, so this reprieve is
bittersweet.
When there is a financial crisis, it seems as
though libraries and other public services
are perceived as the “fat” that can be
trimmed. I have been meditating on the
why of it all. Why are libraries constantly
under attack? Why must libraries defend
their value? In these troubled economic
times, more than ever, libraries are bastions
of FREE information and entertainment.
I could go on about the virtues of public
libraries, like the large array of children’s
services and programs, adult education,
computer/internet
access,
literacy
advocacy, and so on, but perhaps here is
not the place.
What I find irksome (and quite common)
is this idea that people no longer need
books because they have the Internet.
This formula does not really work, does it?
How many books are even on the Internet?
(well, ok, there are a lot now, but mostly
those in the public domain) But of those
that are, how many people really prefer to
either read an entire book on their screen,
or print out an entire book, or read from
one of the many unsatisfying electronic
readers? I don’t understand the talk that
libraries (and bookmobiles) are becoming
obsolete, when I don’t really hear the same
talk that bookstores and book publishing are
becoming obsolete. It seems to me like this
widely accepted faulty logic has taken hold
of the mass consciousness. If people feel
this way about libraries, what hope is there
for Bookmobiles, especially ones in which
Internet access is typically not a feature?
Satia Orange from the American Library
Association is quoted as saying “There are
communities where bookmobiles are the
primary place to get information, in rural
areas where getting to a library is difficult
or a low-income area where computers are
not in every home, where people cannot
afford to buy books.” Let’s keep in mind that
if you’re rural enough to not have a nearby
library you probably don’t have nearby
broadband either.
I worry that if the Bookmobile goes,
the next generation of schoolchildren in
Mendocino County will not experience
the joy of climbing the steps of the bus
and checking out books or having books
delivered to them which they’ve ordered.
I also worry about the rural communities
that are dependent on the Bookmobile
since driving to the nearest library is not
feasible. Furthermore I worry about the
prisoners at the Parlin Forks Camp. These
loyal and enthusiastic library patrons benefit
immeasurably from reading books. Finally,
I worry that if the Bookmobile is done
away with, the remaining Library branches,
including ours here in Point Arena, could be
next.

Perspectives
By Dr. Daniel Brannigan
Dr. Daniel Brannigan is a Chiropractor with a office in Gualala. In the following he shares his
investigation into new healing methods that go beyond his solid base of chiropractic techniques.
There is a little device in my office that
resembles a bomb from a Starsky and
Hutch episode. When people ask about
it, I explain that it’s our Cold Laser. This
invariably requires some explanation, but I
don’t always find it easy to reply adequately
with a simple one-liner. Allow me to take
the time to answer more fully. Let’s start
from the beginning. The word “laser” is actually an acronym,
which stands for Light Amplification by
Simulated Emission of Radiation. Thus, it’s
a device that emits light (electromagnetic
radiation) through a simulated process.
What we call light is the visible part of the
spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. When we look at a rainbow we see the
different spectrums of color. Each one of
them has a different wavelength. The color
red, which is the color that is emitted from
our laser, is of the cold part of the spectrum
and thus has no thermal activity. This
means that it will not burn the skin or any
tissue regardless of time exposed. This is
different than natural light or sunlight in
that the laser is one precise color, it travels
in a straight line, it’s a single wavelength
and it concentrates its beam into a single
location. This allows the light is able to
penetrate the skin without causing damage
to tissue. The light directs bio-simulative
energy to the body’s cells that then convert
that energy into chemical energy, which
promotes healing and pain relief.
When this energy penetrates deeply
into the skin it optimizes the immune
response of our blood. This has both antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive
effects. Studies have shown that light
transmitted to the blood supply in this
manner has positive effects throughout
the whole body. Some basic effects are
bio-stimulation (as mentioned before),
an increase in cell metabolism, improved
blood circulation and vasodilatation, antiinflammatory effect and a stimulation of
wound healing. Our laser is called the Erchonia PL—
3000 and was the first laser to receive
FDA clearance for therapeutic healing. It has been known to provide relief for
the following conditions: general pain
and wound healing, Arthritis, Migraine
headaches, lower back pain, Carpel Tunnel
syndrome, Fibromyalgia, sprain and strains,
post-operative pain, TMJ, burns, Herpes
simplex and acne. Most of these conditions
do take time to treat- as much as three times
a week over a 2 to 3 week period. Cold laser differs from ultrasound in
that you can use it safely with patients
who have metal implants such as the case
with hip replacement. It can be especially
helpful in reducing the amount of scar
tissue that builds up over time due to hip
replacements. Not only can it reduce scar
tissue, it has been known to regenerate
new tissue. It’s been highly effective in
treating burn patients and some minor
nerve damage. The down side to cold laser
is that most insurance companies will not
cover the procedure. As for ultrasound,

While many in our area are aware of the
valuable services that have been provided
by the Shamli Hospice service over the
years, some are under the impression that
they no longer exist. Some time back, due
to financial considerations, Shamli was
placed under the Living Well program of
RCMS. Not only it is still functioning,
but with more fervor than ever.
The Shamli Hospice/Respite team operates under the direction of Dr. Mana
Hobson. In addition to some trained volunteers, Dr. Hobson’s staff include Karen
Kramer and Dorothy Stevenson, both
RN’s and Dr. Richard Duncan. Her team
offers a compassionate approach to the
care of those people with terminal, chronic, or serious illness or injury. The goal of
Shamli is to allow its patients to live life
fully while maintaining dignity and the
highest quality of life as possible. In addition Shamli/Living Well trained and dedicated volunteers help provide additional
support to patients, along with respite
care for caregivers. Some volunteers also
provide companionship and practical assistance to those who live alone or have
become socially isolated.
Shamli services also extend to bereavement. Grief counselors, both medical
professionals and trained volunteers, are
available to provide group and individual
support and comfort to those suffering
from the loss of a loved one. Plus, in the
event of an unexpected death, a team of
experienced volunteers is on call to provide
practical advice and emotional support to
families and friends, so that they can cope
with the shock, confusion and logistical
problems often associated with sudden
death caused by accident or illness.
“I am very proud of the role that Shamli
plays in the Living Well program and feel
very fortunate to live in a community that
offers and supports these types of services,”
said Dr. Hobson. “We should be especially
appreciative of our Shamli volunteers. Together with our medical team, they are making an impact on the quality of life of many
who live here on the Coast.”
In addition to the Shamli services Living
Well promotes healthy lifestyles in seniors
and has put many of our seniors on track to
leading healthier and more active lives. But
Living Well has also identified some frail
and elderly in this community who have
become isolated either because of circumstance, illness or injury. All these individuals would welcome and benefit from some
sort of companionship or help, such as an
afternoon of playing cards, an offer to run
errands, or just a friendly phone call now
and then.
RCMS invites anyone who has even a little time to give to help those in need should
consider becoming a Living Well volunteer.
For more information, call Pat Owings, Living Well/Shamli Volunteer Coordinator at
RCMS, 884-4853.

In the beginning of March of this year
I was contacted by Melinda Mills, the
founder of the new Birdsong Clinic and
Tea Shop to do some graphic design
work to brand the project. Melinda and
her partner, Karl Danskin, live on the Annapolis ridge. She is a Licensed Acupuncturist, whose twenty year massage therapy
practice evolved into Chinese medicine as
a result of her studies of Taoist philosophy. Karl’s direction has included teaching Tai Cjho. Cjh Kung and Taoist meditation. The opening of the clinic and tea
shop in May 2009 is the result of years of
study beginning in 1986, including a trip
to Shanghai in 2003 where their passion
for tea was sparked.
Birdsong Clinic and Tea Shop is located
in Sea Ranch off Verdant View, near the
Two Fish Bakery. Birdsong offers acupuncture, massage by CMT Sarah McDonough, and loose tea imported from
China as well as tea ware and most interesting to me, tea tastings.
A tea tasting? Wine tasting- sure; years
of restaurant work had afforded me many
opportunities to learn about the intricacies of the fermented grape and I have
found them very informative. I can make
sense of the esoteric language of wine best
when examples can be compared side by
side. Could it be that a tea tasting might
provide similar insight into my second favorite beverage?
My curiosity was more than satisfied
one afternoon when my friend, Ling-Yen
Jones, and I headed to the tea shop for
a private tea tasting hosted by Melinda
and Karl. With eleven pairings with titles
such as “Floating in the Clouds”, “Ascending like the Mist”, and “Grounding to the
Earth”, we knew we had to be in for an
interesting experience. Karl chose the
“Opening the Senses” for our afternoon
taste excursion and it featured three different white teas.
The first selection was a snow peony
white tea. The glittery infusion had a delicate fragrance and a fresh, slightly sweet,
flavor. Karl explained what distinguishes a
white tea from others. White tea is picked
early in the spring at the start of the harvest. It is expertly cured by the tea maker
based on the temperature and humidity of
the environment at the time.
While we sipped our second tea selection (a white Jasmine pearl tea) we exam-
ined the hand-rolled tea balls, each the size
of a pearl; hence the name. The fragrance
of jasmine was strong even before being
infused. We learned that the process of
curing the tea with fresh jasmine blossoms
takes several days during its drying time.
Once hot water was introduced, the leaves
unrolled and the result was a fresh, highly
aromatic cup with a pronounced floral
scent. Delightful.
The third selection was a Jasmine Lily
Blossoming Tea. This is a small bundle
about the size and shape of a walnut. They
are created by skilled artists in China who
hand tie jasmine scented tea leaves around
a dried lily flower blossom. Karl placed
one into a clear glass vessel to steep and an
outrageous transformation began. The use
of the word “blossoming’ is very appropriate – things were really happening! We
observed the infusion slowly sink from the
top of the glass to the bottom when from
the dark green tea leaves surrounding the
blossom emerged a beautiful red lily and
then moments later a white jasmine flower
from within lily blossom. Obviously, a
clear glass vessel is recommended for blossoming tea to allow us to observe the dramatic changes. It is truly a showstopper!
I was impressed by the level of Karl’s understanding of the cultivation of tea & its
ceremonial place in the history of China.
His explanations are made without pretension, which makes Karl and Melinda’s fascination with tea all the more intriguing,
leading me want to learn more. Humor is
welcome at the tastings and the vibe is really mellow. Do yourself a favor and leave
your French roast coffee buzz at home (in
a cage). This sensation is very subtle.
We learned that tea contains two compounds, caffeine, with which we all are at
least familiar, if not addicted to, and theanine. Caffeine stimulates our minds and
theanine relaxes our muscles so the combination of the two is said to induce a mild
state of euphoria.
By the time I had finished my second
steep of the jasmine blossoming tea, Karl
seemed to have morphed into this 15th
century tea farmer. Unlike our ubiquitous
single serving teabags, Karl steeped the
same tea several times, but for short periods. As he continued to fill our small cups
we began to notice that the flavors change
subtly and evolve with each steep. The tea

Dan Hamburg to Run for Fifth District Supervisor
Former Mendocino County Supervisor
then Congressman from the 1st District Dan
Hamburg has announced his intention to
run for 5th District Supervisor.
Hamburg was a schoolteacher and an
anti-poverty activist when elected to the
Board of Supervisors in 1981, the youngest
member in its history. During his time on
the Mendocino Board the County passed
its first ever county General Plan and Local
Coastal Plan, documents that have stood
the test of time.
Dan was elected to the House of
Representatives from the North Coast
in 1992 and packed his family off to
Washington. During his term, he worked for
single payer national health care, preserving
old-growth forests, and normalizing the
military budget. Along with scores of other
Democrats, Dan was swept from office
in the Republican landslide of 1994, but
he had already become disillusioned by
Washington’s craven devotion to “money
driven politics” in which principles are
easily discarded in the all-consuming chase
after campaign cash.
In 1995, Dan took a job with the National
Democratic Institute as an adviser to the
new South African government of Nelson
Mandela. Upon his return, he joined the
Green Party, causing quite a kerfuffle among
local Democrats whom he had faithfully
served as a representative in Washington.
As Democrats scrambled to the right in
response to the Republican victories in
1994, Mr. Hamburg became disillusioned
by the Democrats’ abandonment of its
core principles. Two actions by President
Clinton particularly soured Hamburg on
the Democratic establishment. First was
the signing of the Defense of Marriage Act,
which gave states the right to not recognize
gay marriage from another state. His second
great disappointment was the elimination
of the 30-year old Aid to Families with
Dependent Children (AFDC) program;
forcing single mothers to work menial jobs
while their children were farmed out to
child care centers or babysitters.
In 1998 Mr. Hamburg ran for Governor of
California as the candidate of the Green
Party.
It was a great opportunity for him to run
“unplugged” from the dominant political
system as he toured the state speaking
out for an end to the death penalty and
“Three Strikes” laws, for environmental
consciousness and the elimination of
the false dichotomy between jobs and a
healthful natural world and for a redesign
of the state tax structure to favor working
Californians over large corporations.
Over the four decades he has lived in
Mendocino County, including the last 24
years in the Fifth District, he has always
been engaged in local political issues. In
the recent past, he was a leader of the
Measure H campaign to ban genetically
modified organisms in the county. This
ordinance was the first of its kind in the
United States. He also worked hard to
defeat Measure B, believing that the
restrictions it placed on medical cannabis
growers would lead to a frenzy of law
enforcement action against small growers
and resulting expense to the county. He
is now running for Supervisor in the
Fifth, a district he calls “a collection of
communities, each unique, but together
forming one of the most progressive and
richly endowed political jurisdictions in
the country.”
At the recent Firefighter’s Lamb & Pig
Feed, Dan immersed himself in one of
Point Arena’s most popular and diverse
events of the year. He remarked on the
affection evident between such different
people, old and young, ranchers and
teachers, newcomers and old-timers,
united by a common cause and a common
love for their community. Dan enjoyed
the event so much that he’ll be back for
the 4th of July.
Mr. Hamburg will not appear on a
ballot until the June primary of next
year, but he has begun the arduous task
of spreading his message to the sprawling
Fifth District, which is larger than some
states. Additional information about the
candidate, a selection of his published
writing, and positions on the issues can
be found at www.votehamburg5.org.

SF Mime Troupe Booked for Point Arena Show
Congratulations
UCSC graduate
Amy McFarland!
The San Francisco Mime Troupe will be appearing in Point Arena this year. Due to
conflicts with the new Harry Potter movie premier the same week that the Mime Troupe
normally appears, Arena Theater management had to move the Mime Troupe show to a later
date in order to meet the requirement of the film distributor to show the film every night of
the run. This change apparently has caused some to assume that the Mime Troupe would
not be appearing in Point Arena this year. The Mime Troupe will be appearing at the Theater
on August 13. Save the date. Details to follow.

New Law Seeks to Reduce Construction Waste
The State Department of Conservation
estimates that 20 to 30 percent of the
material entering landfills is construction
and demolition debris. As part of the state
mandate to divert 50% of the state’s waste
stream from landfills, local governments
have been required to enact Construction
and Demolition Ordinances to promote
the recycling or reuse of those materials.
In September of 2006 The Mendocino
County Board of Supervisors passed
Ordinance #4174 toward this end. It
requires those who have applied for building
permits to file a recycling and reuse plan
permit. Demolition of buildings smaller
than 1000 square feet and new construction
of building less than 5000 square feet are
exempted from the requirement to file for
a permit. As a condition to issuing a C &
D permit, a deposit of 35 cents per square
foot is required. This fee is refunded
upon certification by the Department of
Transportation (which operates the transfer
stations) that the plan has been satisfactorily
implemented. Some exemptions from this
requirement exist.
Solid Waste Analyst, Eva Keiser, states
that so far about 12 such permits have been
issued per year. Applicants who fail to meet
the terms of their plan forfeit their deposit,
yet only one applicant has done so.
Local contractor, Steve Carriero, is
currently working on a project in Gualala,
which required the removal of a house so
that it could be replaced with one more
suitable to the owners. Steve briefly
considered relinquishing his deposit, but
when he found out how expensive it would
be to have the house torn down and taken
to a landfill, he reconsidered. Although
he was not sure how it would pencil out,
his desire to be a good steward led him to
decide to de-construct the home and put
as much material back into use as possible. It took his crew a couple of weeks to take
the 1600 sq. ft. home apart. While little of
the material was used on the new building
there were plenty of takers for the material
that they did salvage. The roof decking was
re-milled by someone to become flooring. Large beams were taken for re-use as well
as doors, cabinets, some appliances, and
insulation. Concrete slabs were cut into
2 ft. squares and given away to be used as
pavers. Nothing was sold, yet contrary to
Steve’s initial belief, de-construction turned
out to be cheaper than destruction.
Steve now believes that he is done
demolishing buildings. Not only did he
save money, but also he feels good about
doing the right thing.
Rugg Construction Service recently did
an even larger project at the Round Valley
Indian Health Center in Covelo. Owner
Steven Rugg was hired as a consultant on
the project and he reports that nearly 80%
of the material was salvaged. A 4000 sq. ft. building and two large trailers were taken
apart and much of the material went to the
Indians for reuse including metal siding,
heaters, plumbing fixtures, and cabinets. The
concrete from the foundation and piers were
used for riverbank stabilization. Specialists
needed to be called in first to remove
hazardous asbestos in floor tiles prior to
final de-construction.
When asked how it was working with the
county Rugg stated that they were very open
to working with him and that paperwork
requirements were minimal. The most
difficult part was estimating amounts to
be recycled since he did not have much
experience with this effort.
The ordinance is what motivated him
to de-construct, but his experience has led
him, too, to give up the idea of destruction
of buildings. He is currently working on
a project in Lake County, which does not
have a C & D ordinance, but he plans to deconstruct anyway.
FREE BOAT!
All right, anybody who knows anything about boats knows that there is no such
thing as a free boat. You may not have to pay to get it, but like everything else
worthwhile in life, it is going to cost something.
What we have here is a 14 ft. sailboat—much like a Laser. In fact, it uses the same
rigging as a laser. The thing about this boat is that it has no rigging—no mast or sail.
What would be the best and lowest cost use of this vessel would be to put an electric
outboard on it and use it in a lake. It would be ideal for wildlife viewing or sneaking
into that special fishing spot. This hull powered by an electric outboard would be
quieter than a canoe (no splashing paddles). Some repair is, of course, required, but
it could be done by anyone with enough wherewithal to own a boat to begin with.
The boat would fit on a sturdy truck rack and therefore not require a trailer.
It could, of course, be re-rigged and re-masted and used like it was intended.

Third Thursday Poets Host Devreaux Baker
On Thursday, July 16th at 7:30pm, The
Third Thursday Poetry Reading Series at
the old CITYART building in Point Arena
will feature Mendocino Poet Devreaux
Baker. A Mendocino resident since 1976,
Devreaux Baker worked as a Counselor for
the Mendocino Unified School District,
K-12 for many years. Her poetry has
appeared in many journals in the United
States, including; The American Voice,
Borderlands, High Plains Literary Review,
The Pacific Review, Inheritance Of Light
Anthology, The Guadalupe Review,
Penumbra, and Oxygen. Her work has
been published in England in The Reater
Literary Journal, and in France in The
Paris/Atlantic Journal.
She was co-editor of Wood, Water, Air
and Fire, The Anthology of Mendocino
County Women, and has taught poetry
in the schools as part of the California
Poets In The Schools Program. She has
been awarded Writing Residencies at The
MacDowell Colony and The Hawthornden
Castle in Scotland for her book-length prose
poem, Jeanne D’Arc, and received three
California Arts Councils Awards to produce
The Voyagers Radio Program of Original
Student Writing, which aired on KZYX.
Most recently Devreaux has been awarded a
2008 Can Serrat Writing Award in Spain, and
a 2009 Helene Wurlitzer Writing Fellowship
in Taos. She was one of the founders of the
Loire Valley Writers Retreat in France, and
has co-produced workshops in Mexico on the
Asana of Poetry/The Poetry of Asana with
Jiva Mukti Yoga Instructor, Paloma ThomaBaker. Devreaux currently produces the
Mendocino Coast Poetry Reading Series.
This event is supported by Ling-Yen Jones
& The Third Thursday Poetry Group, an

Dogs Of Mexico
What was it about the dust
That carved its way into my heart
That spoke the unspeakable words
Of the night
Endless tears that cause the air to stop
That break the stones
That whisper your name
In every bar
That never sleeps
That dances the dance of the newly dead
Who do not yet realize they must cross over
They must leave the taste of dust behind
Forsake this land of eyes and hands
The heat that twists its way into my hair
Has your face
This dream of rain
A flood that gathers me into its arms
These are the dogs of Mexico
This endless roaming pack
That stampedes my heart
Leaves echoes of
A thousand unnamed nights
In your arms.
Devreaux Baker
ADVENTUROUS GARDENER continued from pg 9
‘Carolina Cross’ watermelon. While not in a class with ‘Atlantic Giant’ pumpkin, they will
still create quite an impact.
The humble sunflower was also subjected to intensive breeding by people looking
to increase the crop yield of sunflower seeds. The public turned out to be enchanted by
hefty, globular daisies like ‘Gray Stripe’ and ‘Russian Giant’.
Gourds have been selected over the centuries for size, since they can be dried and
used as vessels. ‘Collins Long’ and ‘Giant Nigerian Bushel Gourd’ are notable examples. In
recent years, America has seen a resurgence of “gourd art” with embellished gourd baskets
and bowls fetching respectable prices in art galleries.
What if your garden has room only for some big, but not gigantic plants? The
otherworldly mega-herbs from islands south of New Zealand, with their huge, pleated
leaves, are too finicky to grow here. The cloud forest daisies from the mountains of Mexico
are much more obliging.
We live in our own sort of cloud forest, and these strapping daisies are rather at
home here, despite our lack of altitude. Look for alarmingly large species of well-known
general like Senecio and Bidens. The yellow daisies themselves are small, but held in large
clusters. Genera like Barlettia and Stevia (no common names for such uncommon plants)
have flower clusters of white to purplish pink.
The daisies are described in detail in the Fall 1999 issue of Pacific Horticulture
Magazine. The authors assure us that even though many invasive weeds are in the daisy
family, these cloud forest beauties have shown no tendency toward invasiveness.
One giant plant is native to the Mendocino coastal belt, though it becomes more
common further north. Skunk cabbage is actually related to calla lilies, though neither are
true lilies.
It has bright yellow, calla-type flowers, in which the apparent flower is really a
wrap-around bract. The central stalk is studded with the tiny, true flowers. The plant’s real
glory is its leaves, which are paddle-shaped and up to three feet long.
It is best grown in part shade in a damp spot. Its Asian cousin has white bracts
and requires similar conditions. The “skunky” odor of the flowers is noticeable only from
up close.
The world’s most famous flowering giant is a relative of the skunk cabbage.
Virtually impossible to grow at home, it can sometimes be seen and enjoyed at botanical
gardens. Yes, it’s the titan arum, or corpse flower, Amorphophallus titanium! Like all
members of the Arum family, the bloom is technically an inflorescence (group of flowers),
and a spectacular one it is.
Arising from a tuber, sans leaves, the bract, or sheath, is corrugated, green on
outside, and a gorgeous maroon within. The edges are ruffled, too! The central spadix is
green, reaching up to tower above the bract. A close look reveals small, “male” flowers on
its upper portion and the smaller“female” flowers below. The whole thing can reach up to
10 feet in height.
On its home turf in Sumatra, the corpse flower attracts pollinators that feed on
rotten meat. If you visit one of these plants in bloom, be sure to take a whiff. The odor is
overwhelmingly vile, and never to be forgotten.
Getting to know some of these stupendous plants lets us experience the wonder
of the Earth’s life forms in all their amazing diversity.

AUTO SHOWcontinued from cover
Taxi Rod on display as well.
Entry fee is $40/registered vehicle until the day of the show, when the registration will be
$50 and accepted only on a “space available” basis. Interested participants should contact
Jim Grenwelge at (707) 785-9317, email [email protected].
Local KTDE-FM disc jockey Willie B. has prepared a special program of songs for the
road and classic rock & roll for the occasion. Lunch will be offered between 11 a.m. and 2
p.m. and beverages will be available all day Saturday.
Coinciding with the auto show will be the car-themed art exhibit called The Rex Burnett
Invitational. Burnett was the internationally recognized pioneer of cutaway drawings of
automobiles. Many of Burnett’s drawings became legendary within the pages of Hot Rod
Magazine. Work for this show was done in the 1950’s and 60’s. “These pieces have attracted attention from the art world beyond that of hot rod buffs,” says David “Sus” Susalla,
executive director of the Art Center. “They truly are ‘fine art,’ and all are created with
pencil or pen and ink without the benefit of computers and 3-D CAD programs.”
An opening reception for the art show will be held from 5-7 p.m. in the Art Center on Saturday, July 11. Burnett live on The Sea Ranch until his death in 2004 at the
age of 86. His drawings will be on exhibit in the Burnett Gallery, which is named
for the late artist and his widow, Charlotte. both longtime supporters of the Art
Center and Art Center activities. Charlotte will be attending the car and art show
festivities. John Burnett, son of the artist and also a Sea Rancher, will be the curator
of the show.
In recent years, Burnett’s drawings were featured in his one-man retrospective
show at the Behring Auto Museum at Blackhawk in the East Bay and as part of an
exhibit at the Oakland museum entitled “The Men and Machines of the California
Car Culture”.
1960 dragster that was restored by the Kiley Brothers of Folsom will be on display
THE DISH continued from pg 5
tasting provided the opportunity to really focus on the differences and similarities that one
would usually overlook. Karl finds drinking tea and meditation to be a perfect combination and he plans to form a group to do just that.
Quality of product is paramount for Birdsong. They work exclusively with a family
in San Francisco’s Chinatown who has been importing the highest quality white, green,
oolong and pu-er teas directly from mainland China for generations. Since these teas are
small hand picked harvests the importers refuse to supply any sort of mail order; thus,
Birdsong teas will only be available at their shop.
Currently, Birdsong offers monthly tea tastings to sample new teas; included in the price
is a small quantity to take home. Private tastings are available by appointment. Tea Tastings
are limited to eight people with a minimum of two and cost $10- $15 per person. Plans are
in the works for a Seasonal Circle tasting as well as Meditation and Tea evenings.
Unlike the two 12 oz mugs of Tazo Awake that I drink to fuel my mornings, that afternoon we sat down to two ounce cups of three different white teas of which we had perhaps
only 16 sips from the little cups- each with a unique flavor. Ling- Yen chose a monkeypicked (really!) white tea to give as a gift and I couldn’t resist bringing home some of the
Jasmine Blooming tea we had tasted. We departed Birdsong feeling energized, slightly
illuminated and yes, euphoric.
For more info on tea tasting contact Birdsong clinic at 707-291-5765.
SCUTTLEBUTT continued from pg 6
Health insurance for me is practically useless unless I am hospitalized because virtually
all of the health providers that I use are not covered by insurance. I have such a huge
deductible that even though some providers I use can take insurance I will never reach my
deductible since they are so much less expensive than “regular” doctors’ care.
Once again, health care is a moneymaking proposition in this country, which is why the
AMA/HMO/drug company cartel has no real interest in cutting the cost of health care.
That is like asking Boeing to make better, but cheaper fighter jets. Can you explain to me
why your broken arm should become a profit taking opportunity for someone? You didn’t
decide to break your arm in the same sense that you decide to buy a car.
The first place to start health care reform is by giving every member of Congress my
health insurance plan and premiums. That is what I call a level playing field. As long as
those folks have complete free coverage they will never be able to relate to the rest of us.
I saw a small article recently about some Vermont dairy farmers who are reducing
their carbon footprint by changing the diet of their cows. Bovines, we are told, emit 2
% of the world’s greenhouse gases, mostly methane. They are being fed flaxseed, alfalfa,
and grasses high in Omega-3 oil instead of corn, which improves their digestion. The feed
rebalances the cows’ rumen, the first stomach of ruminants, and cuts down on gas. The
coats of the black and white Holsteins and brown Jerseys are shinier and they’ve had fewer
foot problems and no stomach ailments. Who came up with this bright idea?
Turns out it was those smarty-pants Frenchmen trying to turn our cows into socialists.
Meanwhile in Australia and New Zealand scientists are developing a grass that will not
only cut the amount of methane cows burp up when chewing the cud but also grow in
hotter climes. This means that farmers should be able to maintain dairy herds’ productivity
and profitability in the face of a changing climate, while cutting down their gaseous burps
and reducing their contribution to global warming. It was unclear in my reading if this
grass is a GMO product or not, so that leaves me with more questions.
From what I have read if we really want to cut down on the amount of methane produced
by cows we should not eat so many of them. Then there wouldn’t be as many of them
standing around farting and belching. There are a great many reasons why this is a good
idea besides the methane thing. Cutting back on meat eating is a good idea for all of us.
I’m not suggesting that we should all become vegetarians (although it is not a bad idea, just
unrealistic), but maybe just one day a week we can take a pass on flesh.

HEALTH PERSPECTIVES continued from pg 8
metal implants are contraindicated. It cannot regenerate new tissue, but most insurance
companies cover it and its treatment times are far less. A normal treatment may be 3 to
5 minutes in a single day where as a cold laser treatment could be every 1 to 2 hours for a
24-hour period. Our primary goal in using the cold laser with manipulative therapy is to intensify and
speed up the recovery process when the adjustment isn’t enough. It’s been my experience
that this new technology is truly remarkable and safe. I have seen patients recover from
severe burns over a short amount of time and sever acute back pain in a matter of a few
hours.
I hope this has helped to explain the funny little box that many of you have seen and
commented on. If you have any more questions…you know where to find me.
