Message
Carolyn Lenert, Board President
I am a generalist. What is that? My definition of a generalist is
someone who can relate to specialists! Santa Margarita Neighborhood Association has an outstanding Board of Directors.
And for each month’s Terra Linda Wind we have so many people focused on contributing: thoughtful and creative neighbors,
an expert restaurant/food critic, a teen photographer, the teen
intern reporter, our friendly HomeBeat reporter (recipes, pets,
gardens), willing professional photographers, local librarians, an
ad representative, the publisher and the N2 creative team. As
usual, we address church, home, school, family, sports, nature
and the environment, volunteering, business, public services,
lifestyle issues, history, hobbies, health, safety and beauty. Are
we missing anything? Let us know! We look back to understand our past, address many elements of our present quality of
life and occasionally peer ahead to the future. Our focus has
been called “hyper-local.” Indeed, through the Santa Margarita
lens we can turn within and reflect on our individual lives while
at the same time reaching out and connecting to Terra Linda,
San Rafael, Marin, California and beyond. Now that’s a generalist’s true delight!
Carolyn Lenert
“To find the universal elements
enough; to find the air and the water
exhilarating; to be refreshed by a
morning walk or an evening saunter;
to be thrilled by the stars at night; to
be elated over a bird's nest or wildflowers in spring - these are some of
the rewards of the simple life. " John
Burrough
“There is a secret in life...better than
anything a fortuneteller can reveal:
We all have a great hand in the
forming of our own destiny.” Dolley
Madison
about the cover...
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines! After multiple timed heats, Tristan Barnes
was declared to be the Cub Scout 2010 Pinewood Derby winner. He made and decorated his winning entry for the popular event held at the Vallecito gym. This year the
races were electronically timed to the thousandth of a second and results instantly displayed overhead---thanks to the innovative use of a computer program called “Down
and Derby” provided by Cub Scout leaders, Randall and Ginny Scott.

DISTRICT ONE SUPERVISOR CANDIDATES’ FORUM:
Fostering Understanding
In time for the many voters-by-mail, Santa Margarita Neighborhood Association teamed with the North San Rafael Coalition of
Residents to present a moderated forum of the two District One
candidates for Supervisor of Marin County. Well in advance of the
event, SMNA collected more than 50 questions from the community which were then grouped into five areas by the moderator, Jean
Zerrudo: supervisor’s role and good government; housing, development and zoning, green and clean, economic development and
programs; and regional issues and beyond. Each candidate provided written answers to the questions, which were distributed in
advance of the meeting. These responses were also printed so that
they could then be addressed in greater depth at the two-hour
event.
After a break and homemade cookies in the sanctuary of Christ
Presbyterian Church, additional questions emerged from the audience. This forum continues the long-standing tradition of support
for an engaged and informed electorate. Remember to vote on
June 8th.
Candidate Kerry Mazzoni, Supervisor Susan Adams and SMNA Board President
Carolyn Lenert.
The event was taped by Jim Geraghty, assisted by Brad Flaharty,
for the Community Media Center of Marin. The North San Rafael
Coalition of Residents is a member of CMCM. The program was
broadcast in mid-May.

history
Long-Time Neighbor Dave Zappetini Writes
The area that is now Terra Linda was the
"home dairy" for the Freitas family and
our family business at that time involved
putting shoes on their horses and maintaining their ranch equipment. I used to
hunt deer on the ranch property in Marin
since we worked for all the property
owners, and at that time there were no
turkeys or coyotes. They are new to this
area. A few years ago we made traps for
the MMWD to capture wild pigs in the
watershed, but the pigs at one time were
domestic and some got away and now
they have taken over and are a problem.
We (Steve Zappetini and Son) are working at Fort Baker and they have a problem with the coyotes-- the problem they
have is that people feed them.
[Editor’s note: Marin History Museum
is collecting the Terra Linda Wind. Preserving our past for future generations is
an incredible legacy. You are invited to be
part of making this happen. For information and volunteer applications, please

history
Safe Passage Along Lucas
Valley Road reports
On September 12, 2006, Mont Marin
President Marion Elkjer announced that
Ray Lorber would investigate having
a safe pathway built along Lucas Valley Road. On May 13, 2008, while the
border between the city and the county
was still unclear, the new Mont Marin
President Mike Karchem moved that a
resolution be passed to have the county

San Rafael Coalition of Residents. On
August 4, 2009 the survey was completed
and the south side of the road was determined to be county property.
A safe passage
A Lot of progress. On March 31,
2010, County Supervisor Susan Adams
announced that the $650,000 federal
TLC grant had been awarded to improve
access to mass transit. Mont Marin-San
Rafael Park President Ray Lorber notes
that it is anticipated the pathway will be
completed in 2012. Co-Director Carolyn
Lenert said that we all look forward to
the ground-breaking ceremony for this
popular route to 101, McInnis Park, the
YMCA and schools. Until then, Safe
Passage advises: please drive safely and
do not exceed the speed limit. Only 1 in
10 pedestrians survives being hit at 45
mph…and then recovery requires years of
physical therapy, pain and rehabilitation.

Sidewalks & Such
By John Surinchak
I’d like to remind everyone of their responsibility to keep landscaping and such from overgrowing the sidewalk. The Americans with Disabilities Act dictates that no plant growth will
extend over the sidewalk, up to a height of seven feet. Although
there are no “sidewalk police” cruising, we do have many assisted-living homes, with residents of various mobility. All it would
take is for one person in a wheelchair or walker to fall into the
street because bushes blocked their passage on the sidewalk (it’s
called access barrier). The ADA can be strictly enforced in matters like this.
[Editor’s note: If your driveway is too short for your car and it
overhangs the sidewalk, perhaps you can park on it diagonally.

How Fast Should Cars Go
in Front of Your House?
In light of the proposed speed limit
increase (to 35 mph) on Las Gallinas
Avenue, on Monday, April 19, 2010, the
City of San Rafael held a City Council Study
Session: "Presentation and Discussion of
the New Caltrans Policy to Establish Speed
Limits (PW/PD)."
Nader Mansourian,Assistant Public Works
Director, presented history of such legislation, its requirements, the traffic code
guidelines for setting speed limits, certain
definitions and necessary implementation
procedures of his department. He noted
that there is limited discretion under the
new law.
Police Lieutenant Glenn McElderry presented the factors that affect enforcement
and successful prosecution in light of the
General Speed Law requiring motorists to
drive “at a speed no greater than is reasonable or prudent.” The need for a speeding
survey and the details of the use of radar/
lidar were outlined.
Following these presentations, the City
Council members asked questions of the
staff. Due to limited time at this meeting,
four members of the public then had the
opportunity to speak.
Ray Lorber (MM/SRPNA president) Joe
Martino (MM/SRPNA board member and
Anti-Speeding project director), Paul Ware
(long-time resident, accidents witness) and
Carolyn Lenert (North San Rafael Coalition
of Residents) presented their observations
and concerns about raising the speed limit
on Las Gallinas Avenue. The Mont Marin/
San Rafael Park Neighborhood Association
was well represented with more than 50 of
our neighbors in attendance. The following remarks were provided by some of the
Council members after the Study Session:
Councilmember Marc Levine observed,
“The Study Session on speed limits was
both informative and mind-boggling. The
limitations on traffic enforcement were
surprising news to me as cities must have
a way to ensure safety for pedestrians,
cyclists and passengers. I'll continue to
advocate for effective means to reduce traffic speeds leading to future surveys that
establish San Rafael speed limits.”
Councilmember Greg Brockbank observed,
“Setting of speed limits had never come
up before in my two-plus years on the
council, and I'm embarrassed to admit I
didn’t know how it worked…although no
one had raised the issue until last week.
At the workshop, I was distressed to learn
that we really have little control over the
speed limits, and that: 1) we can't issue
citations unless a survey had been done
recently (which hadn't been done recently
on Las Gallinas because we were waiting to
see about the recent change in the law); 2)
according to our traffic engineers, people
don't pay any attention to speed limit
signs, and will drive according to how fast
they think is safe, regardless of the posted
limits (the only purpose of posted limits is
to allow officers to cite the 15% or so who
exceed those limits); and 3) that limits must
be set according to the speeds people
drive at, not the other way around.”
Councilmember Damon Connolly
observed, "It was extremely helpful to have
so many residents come to the council
meeting and express their concerns. Their
voices were heard. A number of questions
were raised about the safety and legal
issues associated with the speed limit on
Las Gallinas. I will continue to seek answers
to those questions from city staff and our
state legislators because I believe that the
speed limit should remain at 25mph."
Mayor Al Boro added, "The council appreciates very much the input we received
regarding speed limits on Las Gallinas Avenue. As future facts become known on this
issue, I will make sure that the homeowners
associations are kept alerted and advised
to all the meetings that will be held on this
subject."

Indoor air, the quality of life.
You have probably seen Bragg Plumbing and Heating Trucks in
your neighborhood. You may not know however that Bragg has
been serving Terra Linda Residents since 1968. John Honey, Bragg’s
president and owner maintains an “A” rating with the BBB, and
John serves on the Board of Directors for the Plumbing Heating
Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) for Marin and Sonoma
Counties. John is also a leader in promoting indoor air quality and
filtration.
We usually think of air pollution as being outdoors, but the quality
of the air in your home or office is most likely, substantially more
polluted. Yes, what we all believe to be our "safe-haven" can actually register seven to ten times more polluted then that of outdoor
air, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
sources of indoor pollution include: airtight home, poor ventilation; inadequate air filtration; indoor pets shedding; carpet, drapes,
area rugs and fabrics; cleaning products; indoor laundry areas;
cooking, and yes… printers and fax machines! Unfortunately, this
is only a partial list of the sources of poor indoor air quality (IAQ).
Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the
air are the primary cause of IAQ problems in homes. These harmful particulates, also referred to as repairable suspended particles
(RSP), can escalate to dangerous levels quickly and have been
linked to a host of health problems. Consumer awareness of the
health effects associated with IAQ has grown rapidly. Infants and
children are particularly vulnerable to indoor pollutants. Children
often play on floors and carpets making them more susceptible
when directly in the path of pollutants. RSPs, which range in size
from 0.2-0.5 microns, are the primary trigger for asthma, allergies
and other critical health problems including chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). RSPs, which include mold, pollen,
toxic hydrocarbons, and carcinogens among others, are more than
1,000 times more likely to be inhaled indoors.
John is an expert on home filtration systems and promotes a system from AspenAir www.aspenairinside.com. AspenAir produces
the first truly effective electronic air filtration system that not only
eliminates harmful RSPs to improve IAQ, but can also save you up
to 30% on your heating and cooling costs. AspenAir high-efficiency filtration products fit into either the return air filter grille or right
next to the air handler and integrate into the forced air HVAC systems to purify the whole house of these notable
harmful particulates. Bragg is a certified AspenAir dealer.

Milo joined his family as a two-month
old puppy and they have now been
together for 12 wonderful years. He's a
handsome yellow lab, with a coat that's
deep yellow/gold. His favorite playthings
are the B's - bugs, birds (especially the
noisy jays) and balls. During his photo
shoot he showed great discipline in waiting until the ball was thrown for him,
then retrieving it with zest. While long
hikes may be a thing of the past, he keeps
in shape doing what is within his capabilities - shorter walks every day. He's
a role model for all of us! Milo eats a
healthy diet and loves broccoli, watermelon, bananas and especially apples. Guess
he believes in that old adage, "an apple a

the Melting
Pot
Celebrate and share. These are two
words that describe a typical dining experience at the Melting Pot in Larkspur.
The first time I visited the Melting Pot,
my husband and I sought an escape for a
little Valentine’s Day romance. On a different occasion, my girlfriends and I came
here to celebrate a ladies night out on
the town. Just recently, the SMNA Social
Committee met here for our monthly
dinner. Although these occasions varied
widely across the board, each visit was a
true experience.
In addition to the nature and intimacy
that fondue brings to the table, the location is a destination in itself. The Brick
Kiln is a California historic landmark.
Once the largest brick manufacturer on
the Pacific Coast, the Remillard Brick
Company made the bricks that were used
to rebuild Ghiradelli Square, the Pacific
Hotel, and other San Francisco structures
after the 1906 earthquake. Although the
kiln was shut down in 1915, the building
remained intact and was vacant until the
late 1980s.
John McDonald, proprietor of the Larkspur location, stumbled upon this gem of
a site serendipitously to his decision to
open up his own restaurant. John grew
up in the Bay Area and then moved to
Tacoma, Washington to major in Business at the University of Puget Sound.
While attending college, he worked as a
server at the Melting Pot in Tacoma. He
loved working there so much he continued on to become the manager. When
the Melting Pot in Bellevue was in the
works, John was given the opportunity
to help with the opening of the new
location. This was the turning point that
kindled John’s desire to open up his own
restaurant. John moved back to the Bay
Area and currently resides in Larkspur
Landing with Julie, his fiancé.
On our approach to the restaurant, the
tall, narrow smokestack unmistakably
marks our destination. Pulling into the
driveway, I felt a sense of being transported back in time by the surrounding
architecture and gardens. As we entered
the cavernous space, amber and cobalt

fixtures lit our way and brightly colored
bottles hinted to the delights we were
about to encounter. The cherry wood
furniture is harmonious to the dark brick,
as are the red granite tabletops. This
understated elegance is in keeping with
the unadulterated structure of the kiln.
High-backed booths offer privacy for
smaller parties, though our party of 12
shared a long solid table with four builtin burners.
To begin our four-course meal, two types
of cheese fondue were prepared tableside, served with bread, green apples,
carrots and celery. Our server told us
each ingredient as she added it to the
pot. The Wisconsin trio, made with fontina, butterkäse, sherry, and delicate bits
of buttermilk bleu cheeses swimming
throughout, was my favorite. The round
tortilla chips served with the spinach
artichoke were also fun, and if left alone, I
would’ve shamelessly polished the pot off
by myself.

cucumbers, curly carrots, sprouts, mint
and onions made up our second course.
The mandarin orange-ginger dressing
made it simply enchanting, which seemed
appropriate as this salad is being offered
as part of the restaurant’s ‘Pacific Islands
Big Night Out’ menu. This salad received
excellent reviews from our group and as
I personally enjoy eating sans utensils,
would like to see this incorporated into
their regular menu.
When presented with the beautiful display of marinated meats, seafood and
pot stickers, I regretted not having paced
myself with the first two courses. Before
commencing the cooking frenzy, our
server described every item on our plates,
gave us instructions on cooking times
and reminded us to use the clean platters to avoid contaminating the cooked
items with the raw meat. The broths that
we cooked with were the court bouillon,
a vegetable broth and the mojo, which is
bouillon seasoned with Caribbean seasoning, fresh garlic and a touch of citrus.
Every morsel that came out of the pot
was tender and succulent and didn’t really
need much else, although a plethora of
dipping sauces were provided for added
enjoyment.
The chocolate fondue was the highlight
of the meal. Since our party was large, we
had the opportunity to sample the pure
chocolate plus three types of chocolate
blends. The bananas foster, chocolate
s’mores and flaming turtle were all flambéed at tableside. The show of it all made
me all the more anxious to dip in. And
what did we dip? Strawberries, graham
crackers, rice crisp squares, Oreo-covered
marshmallows, graham cracker marshmallows, cheesecake and chocolate pound
cake.
One important note to mention is that
when you come here, be prepared to
indulge and spend at least three hours
from beginning to end. Of course once
you’re here, you are relishing so much in
the experience, time passes unnoticed, but
I believe that’s the point. The Melting Pot
is a truly novel experience and a Marin
gem.

Coyotes
in Our Midst
By Camilla Fox
Spring is pupping season for coyotes. Encounters between pets and coyotes may increase as coyote parents are more
protective of their young and of their den sites. Dog and cat guardians should be especially vigilant over the coming
months to protect their companion animals by walking dogs on leashes when recreating in open space areas and by
keeping cats indoors.
Additional steps you can take to reduce negative encounters with
coyotes:
• Wildlife-proof waste and compost containers
• Keep your yard clean of pet food, water sources, dirty grills, fallen
fruit and bird-seed
• Clear brush and foliage around buildings where coyotes may find
shelter and food
• Appreciate coyotes at a distance and NEVER FEED COYOTESintentionally or not.
Recognize that coyotes are here to stay and we must learn to coexist with our wild neighbors- by keeping them wild! For more information visit www.ProjectCoyote.org.

buzzing?

The queen bee and her court.
By David Peterson, Marin County beekeeper
Marin County beekeeper
David Paterson working
bees in Corte Madera.
This swarm removed from a
juniper bush.
Bees that don’t find a new
hive may create a hive in
a tree.
When a healthy colony
outgrows he size of its hive,
bees organize to find a new
home. More than half the
bees.
Honeybees are social insects. Unlike the
four to five thousand other species of
solitary bees, honeybees store resources,
in the form of honey, that allow the hive
to survive the winter. A beehive is like a
single organism. If it does not grow and
divide, it will eventually die off. Swarming is a natural occurrence, and the only
way a beehive can propagate. Without
swarming, the species would go extinct in
short order.
When a honeybee hive successfully
survives the winter, the queen begins to
expand her brood nest in anticipation of
the coming spring bloom with its pollen
and nectar flow. The number of bees in
the hive increases rapidly and dramatically. When a hive is very successful, the
queen and her workers feel crowded and
begin to make plans to swarm. Specialized nurse bees respond by raising several
new queen cells to replace the old queen,
who will leave the hive with the swarm,
taking half or more of the hive's bees
with her. Only one of the newly-raised
queens will be allowed to survive, mate
and take charge of the remaining hive.
A swarm will form just outside the
hive mid-day in the spring, primarily in
March, April and May. The outgoing bees
will circle around the old hive until they
are organized to depart – usually landing
in a nearby tree, a bush, on the side of a
building or tree. There they form a tight
cluster around the queen.
A swarm can be as small as a softball or
as large as a basketball, containing from
10,000 to 50,000 individual bees. From
this cluster the swarm sends out scouts
to look for a good location for the bees
to make their new home – a hollow in a
tree, a utility box, a hole in the side of a
house or outbuilding. Often the swarm
will move on shortly after the first cluster
is formed in an effort to find a new home.
What Should I Do if I See a Swarm?
Click on http://www.marincountybeekeepers.org. Don't panic, bees in a swarm
are at their most docile. They've gorged
on honey before leaving the hive and
have no resources or home to defend.
Don't spray the swarm with pesticides
or water, and don't try to shoo them
off by knocking the cluster from their
temporary landing spot. Do not call an
exterminator – it is illegal to exterminate
honeybees in California except under
special circumstances.
Do contact a knowledgeable beekeeper
to capture the swarm if necessary. Contact your local beekeeping club and they
will be able to put you in touch with
someone who can capture the swarm or
NeighborhoodNews
make other recommendations, often at
no charge. When reporting a swarm,
be sure to confirm you are seeing honeybees and not wasps or yellow jackets.
Honeybees are soft and fuzzy looking.
Wasps and yellow jackets are shiny and
their outer layer is not at all fuzzy. Wasps
usually make hanging paper nests, yellow
jackets most often make their nests in the
ground. You should also note the size of
the cluster, how high above the ground it
is, and whether the bees are in a tree or
bush or on the side of a structure, etc. If
the swarm is on someone else's property,
the property owner will need to give permission to capture the swarm.
The most suitable locations for a swarm
to take up residence in an urban area are
spaces in walls and attics of structures.
Honeybees live in cavities, and fill the
cavities up with the wax comb in which
they raise their young and store pollen
and nectar for food. Bees that don't find
a new hive may create an open hive in a
tree or bush. Open hives seldom survive.
If the bees are coming and going from an
opening in a tree or a structure, this is no
longer considered a swarm, but rather an
established hive. Extracting a hive from
a tree or structure is more involved than
just capturing a swarm, but still very possible. Structural extractions can be complicated and time-consuming, a fee may
be requested.
If you see a buzzing insect going in and
out of a hole in the ground or among
debris, it most likely is a yellow jacket or
a wasp of some kind.
"Bee" Kind to Our Honeybees, We
Need Them. The real challenges facing our honeybees are recently imported
viruses and the Varoa mite, a parasite
from Southeast Asia. Other major
stresses on our bees are monocrops and
pesticides. Some hives are lost directly to
agricultural spraying, others from longterm exposure to pesticides and genetically altered crops.
Some of our bees have been able to
survive without the use of strong medications and human intervention. It is
these bees that we hope will develop the
genetics to survive on their own. Swarm
colonies are considered to have survivor
genetics. They have survived the various
viruses and parasites that are stressing
other bee colonies. Some beekeepers
consider these naturally occurring swarms
to be a more desirable way to replace our
losses and increase hive numbers than to
purchase packaged bees from commercial
beekeepers.
Honeybees are beneficial insects that support agriculture and pollinate our garden
flowers, fruits and vegetables. In general,
beekeepers are always very interested
in collecting swarms – especially in the
spring. Swarms that occur after June are
25
often small, and it is too late in the season
for them to build up sufficiently to successfully over-winter. Even so, we are still
interested in collecting the swarm, even
if it is just to combine it with one of our
weaker colonies.
David Peterson keeps hives at his home in
Ross and at a commercial building in Corte
Madera. He contributed hives to the roof
of the new California Academy of Sciences
building in Golden Gate Park, and continues
to mentor their gardener in managing these
hives. He is active in the Marin County
Beekeepers organization and teaches a beginning beekeeping class, NewBees 101, in the
spring. He maintains observation hives for
use when giving bee talks at local schools and
events.

Are You O.K.? Attention Seniors
This program is a free service for seniors and house bound residents of Marin. It is designed to ease the concern of relatives and
friends who may find it difficult to maintain consistent and reliable
contact with the participant.
It works like this - each day, beginning at 10:00 a.m., the "Are You
O.K.?" system will call the participant. When the telephone is
answered, a predetermined message will let you know this is your
"Are You O.K.?” call. If there is no answer, the system will call back
ten minutes later. If after the second call there is still no answer,
"Are You O.K.?" volunteers are alerted to telephone the designated
emergency contact to determine if there is a problem.
To become a participant, call the San Rafael Police Department,
(415) 485-3030 and leave your name and telephone number. The
“Are You O.K.?” volunteer coordinator will answer your questions
and arrange for an interview with a site visit to begin the service.
Priority is given to seniors, people who are experiencing health
problems and those who are alone in Marin County.

Marin Sanitary Service
Innovating the Way to Zero Waste
Marin County used to send over 90
percent of its garbage to landfills. Enter
the Garbarinos. From the moment they
opened the doors of Marin Sanitary
Service (MSS) in San Rafael, this family
owned and operated business has been
pioneering state-of-the-art recycling
methods to end waste through innovation
and education.
From launching the first countywide
curbside-recycling program in the nation
to being relentless in their drive to end
waste, the Garbarinos have a long history
as leaders in the environmental movement. The company’s practices became
the model for California when the state
was writing its historic mandate to divert
50 percent of all waste from landfills
statewide.
MSS’s Recycling Center now recycles
more than 547 tons of waste per day –
over 72 percent of all waste collected.
That’s 20 percent more than the state
average, and 35 percent more than the
national average. Since 1990 alone, MSS
has recycled over 225 million tons of
garbage, representing a reduction of more
than 4 million tons of greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions.
MSS recognizes that innovation alone
will not get Marin County to zero waste.
Increased participation by all Marin residents is vital. That is why education is
a critical component of the Garbarinos’
strategy to end waste.
Food waste composting is one of the
new programs being piloted by MSS.
Selected service areas have been participating throughout the spring and it is
MSS’s hope to extend the program to all
service areas. The compost produced will
be provided to residents under the label
of “Marin’s Own.” This is just another
example of the Garbarino’s commitment
to provide cutting edge services to their
customers while reducing our GHG
emissions.

San Rafael Police Department
The San Rafael Police Department provides an interactive
approach to share neighborhood crime information with community members. The San Rafael Police Department has joined
a number of law enforcement agencies nationwide by utilizing
the popular video sharing website YouTube to share neighborhood crime information with community members. The SRPD has
already been using a social networking site called Twitter, which
allows important information to be released to subscribers quickly
and efficiently. Our partnership with YouTube will extend that level
of communication and allow for the release of videos. Videos may
simply be informative to the public; or allow for the quick release
of surveillance video of a crime, which may lead to the identification of suspects in a crime case.
Historically, the public has been vital in providing tips, which lead
to the apprehension of suspects. Tips can always be made through
the Bay Area Crime Stoppers website http://bayareacrimestoppers.org) or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS. All calls are confidential and
tipsters may be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000. As part of our
community oriented policing philosophy, we believe this program
will assist us in continuing our goal of having a high level of communication and assist us in participation with our community
members. To participate, go to: http://www.YouTube.com/mysrpd.

Marin County Open Space District
Terra Linda’s Mountain: Looking Out from Loma Alta
Loma Alta Trails
Las Colindas Waterfall on
Spring Hill
Whether you are out for a big view, bird
or wildlife spotting-- by bike or on foot,
consider accessing the hill directly west
of our neighborhood. Rising to a height
of 1,592 feet, this “tall hill” is actually one
of the highest points in Marin County. The
ridge lines that run together to form Loma
Alta divide the five major watersheds of
the county: our Gallinas Creek to the east,
Miller Creek to the northeast, Corte Madera
Creek to the southeast, Lagunitas Creek
in the southwest, and Nicasio Creek in the
northwest. This preserve encompasses
most of the grass-covered south facing
slopes of this broad, gently sloping hill.
Running along the lower perimeter of the
preserve is the Old Railroad Grade Fire
Road. During winter, a prominent feature
of this lower trail is the 25-foot cascade
known as Fairfax Falls. To reach the summit, take the Smith Ridge fire road, or the
extremely steep Gunshot Fire Road. Either
way, spectacular views of the entire Bay
Area will reward you each time you stop to
catch your breath. Near the top of the hill,
the Loma Alta Fire Road continues north
then drops off gradually to the Big Rock
trailhead at Lucas Valley Road. This is also
an important link in the Bay Area Ridge
Trail. A public trail easement encumbers
this section of road, so please stay on the
road. The exposed grassland in this area is
an important breeding site for horned larks
and western meadowlarks. Further downhill, look for lazuli buntings and chipping
sparrows along the road. Near the bottom
of the road you’ll pass through some patches of serpentine soil that provide one of the
best late-season wildflower displays in the
county. The Loma Alta Preserve is home to
106 species of birds, including seven kinds
of owls, nine kinds of raptors, three kinds of
hummingbirds and seven kinds of woodpeckers.
Terrific topographical maps are available to

The City & Sustainable San Rafael:
BERST is BEST
San Rafael’s Climate Change Action Plan was adopted by the
City Council on April 20, 2009. In the year since the culmination of a three-year process Sustainable San Rafael and the city
have seriously addressed the city’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Many members of SSR served on the city’s Green Ribbon
Committee and specific topic Action Teams that helped draft
this plan. You can download your own copy of the final plan
and its appendices at www.sustainablesanrafael.org. Since then
the city has charged Bob Brown, the Community Development
Director to develop BERST, Marin’s Building, Energy, Retrofit
and Solar Transformation guidelines.
15% of which is through city-sponsored actions and 10%
attributable to federal, state and individual actions beyond city
programs. Of the city’s 15% reduction goal, green building
and energy retrofit programs are estimated to yield more than
all other programs combined in the adopted Climate Change
Action Plan. The other significant component in the city’s plan
is to green our power supply, which is reflected in the city’s
involvement in the Marin Energy Authority.
More at http://www.cityofsanrafael.org/Assets/CDD/Planning/BERST+Intro+Presentation.pdf
This collaboration will assist all Marin cities and towns to adopt
uniform green building regulations for new and remodeled
construction as well as comprehensive energy efficiency and
renewable energy retrofit programs. San Rafael’s greenhouse
gas reduction goal is a 25% reduction from 2005 emission levels
by the year 2020:
A Searing Solar Experience
By Mimi Meneau
About four or five years ago, we installed
solar panels on our roofs, calculating
enough to cover our full needs for electricity. We paid a lot of money, but it
was an ethical decision for the environment and we knew we would not have
any more PG&E electricity bills. We
got a special contract from PG&E. Our
electricity would go to the grid on a winter and a summer schedule. In very fine
print (so fine that even PG&E had to
discuss it with us for months) and after
the first year, they claimed that if we go
over a certain limit in a single day, the
price of the electricity they were selling
would be multiply more than TENFOLD!
That winter we did go over the limit
and even though we had produced more
electricity than we used during the year
overall, we got an invoice from PG&E
for several thousand dollars. We called
PG&E, which then sent us from department to department, sometimes agreeing
that we would not have to pay, sometimes not. After a few months of hassles
and endless phone calls, we got a notice
requiring us to pay immediately or power
would be shut off ! We paid, of course.
Now, looking at all the flyers I receive
almost every day about YES on Proposition 16, I can see that PG&E is really
the major funder of those flyers... and I
understand why. They want the monopoly
to charge us whatever they want whenever they want.
Since then we have been careful and have
always overproduced electricity which,
by the way, is not reimbursed. P&E goes
only one way: You pay if you owe, but
they do not pay if they owe. We received
notices that this situation might change,
but only starting in 2011 and they do not
seem clear yet on how it will be implemented or function.
Thank you for reading this and if there is
anything we can do to spread the word, I
think that a NO on proposition 16 would
help the environment and give an option
to consumers besides PG&E.

Get Paid
For Your Power!
By Leslie Alden
The Marin Energy Authority Board of Directors approved a
new Net Energy Metering (NEM) tariff for the Marin Clean Energy
program. The new tariff will provide more benefits to Marin Clean
Energy customers who generate their own electricity than PG&E
can offer the same ratepayers. This is good news if your rooftop
solar installation generates more energy than you use.
These changes apply under the new tariff:
Energy true-ups will be performed on a monthly, instead of an
annual basis, with excess energy generation converted to bill credits. Net energy credits will be continuously rolled over from month
to month and will not be lost at the end of the year, as is currently
the case with PG&E NEM tariff. (The "true-up" is the settling of all
charges and/or credits accumulated.)
Net consumption is valued at the Customer's selected rate schedule, while net generation is valued at the Customer's selected rate
schedule plus $0.01 per kWh. Therefore, MCE will pay customer/
generators for their excess electricity based on their rate schedule
plus $0.01 per kWh. Under the 'Time of Use' schedule, customers
will be compensated at the 'Time of Use' rate in effect plus $0.01
per kWh.
Net Generators Credit: All NEM net generators for each month
receive a bill credit equal to the minimum non-bypassable charges
from PG&E (equal to approximately $4.00).
As you can see, the MEA board has the authority to set policy that
benefits our ratepayers...locally. And those policy decisions are
made in open, public meetings that are subject to the Brown Act.
Do not hesitate to contact either Leslie Alden [email protected].
ca.us, Supervisor McGlashan (who Chairs the MEA Board of Directors) at [email protected] or Dawn Weisz, the interim
director for MEA, who can be reached at [email protected].

When Investing,
Learn Aspects of Risk
In life, you can’t avoid all risks — and you shouldn’t try, because
endeavors that carry risk also bring the prospect of reward. And
it’s certainly the same in the investment world. So instead of
trying to invest risk-free, which is impossible, learn to recognize
the different types of investment risk while becoming familiar
with your own risk tolerance.
To start with, let’s quickly look at some of the most common
forms of investment risk:
• Risk of losing principal — This is the type of risk
most commonly associated with investing. You could lose some,
or even all, of your principal if you sell an investment, such as a
stock, whose value has dropped lower than the purchase price.
You can’t eliminate the risk of losing principal, but you may be
able to reduce it by buying quality stocks and holding them long
enough to overcome short-term market drops.
• Inflation risk — With an investment that pays a fixed
rate of return, such as a certificate of deposit (CD), you run the
risk of not keeping up with inflation, which means you could
lose purchasing power over time. Consequently, it’s a good idea
not to “overload” on these types of investments.
• Interest-rate risk — When you own a bond, your
investment is somewhat at the mercy of changing market interest rates. For example, if you buy a bond that pays four percent
interest, and market rates rise so that newly issued bonds pay
five percent, the relative value of your bond will go down; no
one will pay you face value of your bond when they can get new
ones that pay higher rates. Of course, if you hold your bonds
until maturity, which is often a good idea, you can avoid being
victimized by interest-rate risk.
• Concentration risk — This type of risk occurs when
you have too much of your money concentrated in one area,
such as in a particular stock or in one industry. If a downturn
strikes that stock or industry, your portfolio could take a big hit.
To combat this type of risk, you need to diversify your holdings
among stocks, bonds, government securities and other investments. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit
or protect against a loss, it can help reduce the effect of volatility.
In addition to understanding the above types of risk, you also
need to be familiar with your own risk tolerance and how it
affects your investment strategy. If you are constantly worried
about “the market,” you’ve probably got too many investments
that are at risk of losing principal. At the other end of the
spectrum, if you’re always concerned that your portfolio won’t
grow enough to generate the income you’ll eventually need for
retirement, you may be investing too conservatively — and, as a
result, you’re inviting inflation risk.
Ultimately, you need to match your own risk tolerance with a
strategy that allows you to achieve your goals. This will require
self-awareness, patience, discipline — and, at times, a willingness to move outside your own “comfort zone.” By learning to
balance and manage risk, you can ultimately put yourself in a
position to pursue your investment strategy.

A Way to Engage In Bonding Activities
By Jack Woods
What sets a great family apart from an
ordinary family? It is the bond between
family members that they share with one
another; it is the time they spend cherishing every moment that they are together.
It is in the way they share everything: ranging from laughter to sorrow and successes
to failures of one family member. It is the
genuine love, trust, honor and respect that
every member has for each other.
A great family is the one that find ways
to make the close family ties and the link
between them stronger. Ways like having
active dinner time during the evenings,
parents spending time with the children,
visiting theme parks, doing movie marathons together, and engaging in activities
such as adventure family vacations are all
great ways to increase the bonds and ties
of a family.
When it comes to family vacations, careful planning is necessary. You do not want
to go on a trip without all the necessary
preparations since every opinion and suggestions of each family member counts.
The location of the vacation, the budget
and the prevailing season are some of the
factors that should be considered in planning the event.
There are multiple selections where the
family can seize a vacation such as an out
of town vacation, at their grandparents'
ancestral house, or even a trip outside of
the country. Throughout the summer, the
greatest family vacation locations are at
the beaches of Mexico, the Caribbean, or in
Europe. And since summer is at hand, it is
wise to enjoy yourselves with exhilarating
and enjoyable activities fit for the family.
Vacations, most of the time, require a lot
of money. However thinking that this will
make the whole family happy and will
make the family closer, it is worth it to
spend on it. When it comes to budget vacations, it is very practical to avail of the all
inclusive family vacations. This all inclusive
vacation literally contains everything that
a family can think of for a very affordable
price.
These family vacation packages include
everything that a family desires at a convenient rate. Integrated in the package are
the activities and indulgence that both the
parents and the children will take pleasure
in; including the food, water sports activities, and attractions that will create a thrilling and unforgettable event for everyone.
If you are not yet planning for your whole
family vacation, then this is the best time to
do so. Do not ever miss the chance to get
close with each family member with adventure family vacations, or else you'll regret it
for the rest of your life.
This is the perfect time to do some planning if you are not yet planning for that
grand family vacation. Never ignore the
opportunity to be close to every family
member with adventure family vacations
if you don't want to be sorry later on. Form
a plan of your preferred family outing and
allow them to experience and sense the
tenderness and company of every member
through the bonding and activities.
