As a 58-year resident of Marin and Mill Valley, I enjoyed your salute to long-standing businesses issue very much ["Cornerstones," Sept. 17]. There was an important pioneer Marin business that was left out, however. The Mill Valley Lumber Company has operated since 1892 and the lumber storage shed (originally a delivery horse stable) is the oldest standing structure here in town. More people should know about the history of this important local business that is still going strong. As a local historian, I'd very much appreciate you giving it the attention it has earned and so thoroughly deserves. Duane Van Dieman, Mill Valley Target—I smell a bargain, and stale popcorn... I'm writing in response to Bill Daniels' letter to the editor questioning whether Target should come to San Rafael ["Does Target Fit Into San Rafael's Business Model?" Sept. 22]. As a parent in Southern Marin, I hope that Target finds a home in San Rafael. Modestly priced children's clothes, such as the ones offered at Target, are a necessity in our family. Southern Marin needs the kind of shopping choices that Target offers, without the carbon footprint of the commute to Novato. Eva Selig, Mill Valley Target in the crosshairs No doubt, we in Marin are amongst the most educated, liberal, open-minded and well-read, in-touch communities. Our daily newspaper needs all the revenue it can muster, so it has to accept pre-printed inserts from Target Stores. The one argument against Target Stores of Minnesota not coming to San Rafael has not been published locally—either in stories by our fine press, or in their Letters to the Editor. Target is very politically active in their financial support of far-to-the-rightwing organizations—spending shareholder money to promote Tea Party and other farright candidates. Target been very active financially in supporting anti-gay activities and organizations, too. (Do a Google search for "Target" and "gay.") While it is certainly legal, now that the Supreme Court has ensured it for them to have a loud political voice, we might raise ours by telling our elected officials we do not want these small-minded bigots in our community unless they are open to learning how to be true Americans. I for one now pass the Novato store, too. ›› TOWNSQUARE Mill Valley skirts panhandlers The Mill Valley City Council met Monday to discuss the panhandling that's been panning out semi-regularly at the corners of Camino Alto and East Blithedale, and Camino Alto...

Gretchen Hall, San Rafael Social Security insecurity David Kurland, San Rafael To be clear: Jerry Brown ISN'T the one who kills people... TOP POSTINGS THIS WEEK Don't worry, Manda. The U.S. Senate will hold BP accountable. We need to work together, using the media to promote positive change. While we do not yet know the full extent of the impacts of the BP Deepwater Horizon spill, it is clear that the damage is catastrophic, with risks to the health of marine wildlife, fisheries and coastal economies. It is also clear that our continued dependence on oil is unacceptable. There will also be long-term impacts from a changing climate if we continue to rely on polluting fossil fuels. Climate change is one of today's greatest threats to ecosystem integrity, fish and wildlife, human coastal settlements, and economic development. As our senators head back to Washington, D.C., after their break they should know their constituents expect them to get right to work and pass comprehensive climate and energy legislation that significantly reduces global warming pollutants by putting a price on carbon; protects our wildlife and natural resources from the impacts of climate change; and prevents future disasters like the Gulf spill by prohibiting any new drilling off our coasts. Manda Pasquariello, Stinson Beach Anybody got a used 'Evils of Ignorance' textbook to sell? Shame on Marcia Blackman for attributing one individual's behavior to an entire race or culture, such as those who live in the Canal, as she so pointedly mentioned in her letter to the editor ["Give Us Your Tired, Your Poor, Your 'Festering Garbage,'" Oct. 1]. I've lived here for 56 years and, for me, getting "Marin County back to normal" would include the deportation of Ms. Blackman back to the Valley of the Righteous and the Blind, with mandatory studies in Critical I have paid into the Social Security system since 1963. Now that I am nearing the age that allows me to claim the benefits I have long been promised, I would like to do so. I have been self-employed for the last 30 years and have seen my IRA and other retirement accounts dwindle over the last few years. It would be a shame to be indigent and looking for other government assistance in my old age, when I have planned to be able to live on SS benefits and my small retirement fund. Cutting the benefits will equate to putting me on the dole; something I strongly oppose. It would demean the productive life I have lived. Reducing benefits is a renege on the promise the American government made to the working class Americans almost 100 years ago. Cutting benefits will not help balance the deficit! So, I am one in the 68 percent who oppose SS benefit cuts and support the effort to increase SS contributions based on income, so the rich can pay a bit more and collect a bit more, later on and the rest of us can sleep soundly knowing our hard-earned benefits will be there when we need them.

Three incumbents on the healthcare district board are running against two challengers. Dr. Larry Bedard and Dr. James Clever were first elected in 2006 with support from the Alliance to Save Our Hospital, a group that believed Sutter Health, which held the lease to Marin General Hospital, was the best alternative for the long-term stability of the facility, from both financial and seismic standpoints. (The hospital must undergo a major seismic upgrade to meet state standards. The upgrade is estimated to cost about $500 million.) Also elected in 2006 was Jennifer Rienks, who received support from Friends of the Marin Healthcare District, whose members believed that the district should sever its lease with Sutter. Lori Wood, a former district secretary critical of the arrangement with Sutter, ran independently of the two organizations that year. She was not elected. After that election, a new consensus was built on the district board, leading to the successful extrication this summer from the lease with Sutter. To reach that point, Bedard and Clever moved closer to the position of those who believed the district would be best served by severing the relationship with Sutter. And Rienks, who received support from the anti-Sutter contingent that viewed Bedard and Clever as too supportive of the Sutter relationship, proved to be a more moderate director who aimed for consensus. This year's election finds former rivals Bedard, Clever and Rienks working together to move toward securing bond revenue to pay for the seismic work at Marin General. Challenging them are Wood and Joseph Salama, running in large part against the incumbents' support of a bipartite governance structure. The irony in this year's district election goes back to 1985. At that time, many experts expressed concern about the fate of district hospitals and whether they could withstand an increasingly competitive healthcare marketplace. The healthcare district board at the time decided to lease Marin General to a new entity, the Marin Healthcare Corporation, which Hank Buhrmann, the newly appointed CEO, created to give Marin General a competitive edge. Under the healthcare corporation's governance structure, the publicly elected healthcare district board handled policy matters and an appointed healthcare corporation board handled the details of actually running the hospital. And it met behind closed doors. That structure, Buhrmann believed, would allow the hospital corporation board to act without making public critical issues 10 > ›› NEWSGRAMS Mill Valley throws in its 2 cents on panhandlers The Mill Valley City Council met Monday to discuss the panhandling panning out semi-regularly at the corners of Camino Alto and East Blithedale, and Camino Alto and Miller Avenue. No action was taken, but city staff has been tasked with studying the issue further to determine the legitimacy of safety concerns. An actual ordinance has yet to be drafted. The discussion was taken up due to several complaints from residents. In 2004, similar grievances prompted the council to erect a sign at the Miller Avenue and Camino Alto intersection asking people to give money to charities rather than directly to"street solicitors."While it seemed to have an effect on the presence of panhandlers at first, it was not long before they returned. The discussion about why the council should consider an ordinance emerged when James McCann, the city manager, reported that"the interest in regulating the solicitation of motorists on the public right-of-way is not intended to limit any person from exercising their constitutional right to solicit funds, protest or engage in any other constitutional protected activity." Councilman Ken Wachtel said he had concerns that the claim of "safety risks" is a smoke screen for community members to rid the town of poor people because they don't want to look at or recognize their presence. Supporters of a panhandling ordinance, however, say it's a quality of life issue. Residents who wants to present an opinion to the council may do so at its next meeting, scheduled for Oct. 18.—Elizabeth Cermak Novato schools lower the playground boom Following a string of injuries, Novato school officials have decided to lower play structures that were recently installed as part of the district's $1.6 million worth of new playground equipment. Since the school year began, a halfdozen kids have ended up with broken limbs after playing on the new structures at Hamilton Meadow Park and Lynwood Elementary. Superintendent Jan La Torre-Derby last week shut down playgrounds at all eight elementary schools, where new equipment had been installed over the summer break. Missouri-based Miracle Recreation Equipment Co. conducted an inspection last week and concluded that installations were done properly—though most of the equipment had been framed at their highest settings.—Jason Walsh The waiting is over at George's When George's patrons heard Tom Petty cover band Petty Theft wail out that"the waiting is the hardest part"at last weekend's club opening the irony wasn't lost on anyone in the sold-out crowd. George's cleared its final round of permits Sept. 30—giving birth to a whole new life for the storied Marin music venue. Shuttered for seven years—while hopes that the Kimball's East group would reopen the club fell flat—George's vacancy was a painful reminder of recessionary times for the once-bustling downtown San Rafael music scene. But earlier this year, 40-year-old Marinite Todd Ghanizadeh purchased a lease on the place and launched a million-dollar reconstructive road to recovery for the stage that, in its'80s heyday, was tread upon by the likes of Sammy Hagar, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Carlos Santana. Not only is Ghanizadeh turning up the amps on the live music, but he's rescuing George's from its dive-bar days of the 1990s—the 5,000-plus-square-foot space features two full bars and a full kitchen specializing in California cuisine.

As Pat went to speak with them, they backed up to hit him. Pat jumped into the pickup's bed; Bill threw himself onto the hood. They sped forward and Bill fell off. Pat called 911 from his cell phone. The suspects stopped and tried to beat Pat with sticks; he fended them off with a piece of wood. Meanwhile, Bill drove to the police department and helped search for his missing partner. The suspects were stopped near Smart & Final and arrested. Our Heroes are doing fine after their ordeal. Dave Garbarino, Marin Sanitary vice president, doesn't encourage employees to detain poachers— although this is the type of heroics that will make recyclables thieves think twice.

Buhrmann, considered to be a sharp navigator of healthcare business strategy, had created a governance structure unlike any other at district hospitals across California. The secrecy disturbed critics of the plan, who said Buhrmann and the district had transferred a public asset, the hospital, into the hands of private business. The critics mounted a campaign to regain control of the hospital that lasted until this summer, when Sutter, which eventually wound up with the Marin General Hospital lease, returned the hospital's keys to the Marin Healthcare District. Part of the deal involved the district assuming all responsibility for the seismic upgrades at the hospital. Sutter had said it would cover the cost—if the district would extend its lease for what critics called in perpetuity. The district said no dice, and took back the lease, which expires in 2015. That's also the state's deadline for seismic construction work. To meet that target date, the district must start work on seeking bond funds. But ďŹ rst, the district must receive voter approval for a general obligation bond measure. Eventually, it will seek a lender to secure revenue bonds. "This is a crucial election,â€? says Bedard. "I think the current board is working well together. That's important because we need to focus on passage of the bond measure to support [a seismically upgraded] hospital.

The incumbents, obviously, disagree and say the new governance rules include acceptable conict of interest rules and the two-part structure can withstand Brown Act scrutiny. That basic argument has raged for more than 20 years. Many people thought the return of the hospital from Sutter would put an end to it. "We need to be done with all this now,â€? says Rienks. "Sutter is being sued by the [new hospital] board. It's time to unite around the hospital to bury the hatchet and move forward. We can tweak [governance] things over time.â€? UniďŹ cation is the reason, Rienks adds, that she, Bedard and Clever are running a cooperative campaign. "We need to move together. Sutter is the big [competitive] threat. Even though we don't always agree, we have established an ability to work well together.â€? That cooperative governing will play a crucial part in the effort to seek bond money from the public, say the incumbents. Accusations and recriminations are counterproductive to the effort to attract and retain superior medical staff for the hospital, a crucial element as Marin General begins head-to-head competition with Sutter. Rienks, who fought alongside other Sutter critics to break the lease for Marin General, acknowledges "there was collateral damage.â€? During the battle over the Sutter lease, the Marin Healthcare District became the talk of the town at healthcare meetings in California, and not in a good way. That's what Rienks and the incumbents want to be done with as the district moves into an independent future. $ 50 OFF FR EE 2 CANS OF CAT FOO FOOD AND SUPPLIES 3 BLOCKS DRY DOG FOOD Bedard and the incumbents say the new governance structure for the operating board they approved calls for much stricter standards, including regular reports to the district board and a closer and more public relationship between the board and the hospital CEO. The ďŹ rst board of the new Marin General Hospital Corporation includes 10 appointed members and the hospital CEO, Lee Domanico. As board members' terms expire the corporation board will nominate replacements. Among those ďŹ rst board members are a former chief executive of San Francisco General Hospital, an architect who has designed hospital facilities, a professor of healthcare and a staff cardiologist at Marin General. In other words, say the incumbents, the new board, chosen for expertise needed for the transition from Sutter, will act in the best interests of the district and its residents, not in the best interests of a corporate structure that includes other healthcare facilities. The challengers, Wood and Salama, say that's a distinction with little difference. Wood chose not to conduct an in-person interview for this story, but she submitted written answers to questions. In a response, she writes that the incumbents "replicated Sutter's corporate/private model making plans for a new Marin General Hospital Corporation board to operate according to new bylaws outside the inuence of the elected board. They appointed people to the corporation's governing board who have conicts of interest and/ or ďŹ nancial interests in the hospital and gave them approval to meet behind closed doors in violation of California's open- ďŹ ve of us [current board members] participated in developing a strategic planâ€? prepared by consultants Kurt Salmon Associates. A key part of that plan calls for the district to set up a ďŹ rewall between the elected board and the hospital's governing board. That provision resulted from the rancorous debate, accusations and recriminations critics of the two-part governance structure had engaged in for more than two decades, according to KSA. Eliminating bitter debate over details such as physician contracts and agreements with vendors also would be crucial to running the hospital successfully, said KSA. Day-to-day operations should be shielded from politics. The inescapable irony: That's exactly why Buhrmann set up the two-part governance structure. While it previously beneďŹ ted Sutter, now it will beneďŹ t the district. The incumbents acknowledge that the governance structure in the new bylaws looks similar to the Sutter structure, but they say critical distinctions exist. "It is similar in that you have a separate board,â€? says Bedard, "but the previous board was appointed by Sutter. They put employees on it, and that board chose to, I believe, ignore their ďŹ duciary responsibilities and sat there while Sutter looted the hospital for $120 million.â€? That's the contention in a lawsuit against Sutter that charges the healthcare company with transferring "excessâ€? cash from Marin General into the corporate kitty. Sutter says the action was reasonable and taking money from one hospital in a system to put into a kind of general fund is not unusual. The case is pending.

Salama, an attorney and mediator, says, "We had a private board under Sutter; now it's a secret board.â€? Salama and Wood both think the closed-door structure invites problems, especially with conict of interest. Salama says he's troubled that the bylaws allow 49 percent of hospital corporation board members to have some level of conict. Critics also say the ability of the corporate board to nominate replacements without a public debate could lead to trouble. But the district and the incumbents say the district board has the right to reject any nomination coming from the corporate board. In addition, the district board could remove a corporate board member for gross wrongdoing, say in the event of a felony conviction. And Rienks notes that the 49 percent allowable conict of interest is a level set by the Internal Revenue Service, not a number the district picked out of a hat. The incumbents reiterate that under the new bylaws, the district board will be able to peruse the actions of the operating board to a much greater extent than under Sutter's control (while at the same time protecting sensitive material from political bomb-throwers). Wood and Salama don't buy it. Rienks notes that transferring the governance structure makes sense because the current lease of the hospital runs to 2015. (The district simply took back the lease from Sutter.) Licenses and other attachments are attached to the leased hospital under the hospital corporation. The logistics of breaking that arrangement prior to 2015 and restructuring all associated leases and agreements would be costly. But, she adds, it's conceivable that in 2015, the district could set up a new arrangement, perhaps an appointed operating board but no lease for the hospital. If the district decides to go for a new lease with the hospital corporation, the action would require a vote of district residents. One of the staunchest Sutter opponents, Greenbrae lawyer Nancy McCarthy, in the early 1990s wrote a bill that requires healthcare districts to get approval from a simple majority of voters before privatizing. She went to Sacramento, lobbied for her bill and it passed. "Is the [two-part] governance structure in Marin different than most district hospitals? Yes,â€? says Rienks. "Many district hospitals in California gave up on running their hospitals because they felt they didn't have enough expertise on their boards. They couldn't do the strategic planning. It was too hard to compete. We actually think we are offering a new model for district hospitals.â€? That's just what Hank Buhrmann said more than 20 years ago when he created the bipartite governance structure. But now, note the incumbents, his creation will serve the district rather than an outside master. ✚ #OME IN AND JEWELRY • CARDS ART-TO-WEAR2AISE 9OUR • CRAFTS &5. 345&&

They seem very welcoming and as soon as you move in it all turns just like joining the military!! the layout is very off but the bathroom and kitchen are the only decent spots you would want to be in the apartment... the staff are always unsure and never explain things clearly... parking is horrible and garages are all over the place... its also like living in a retirement home... Also, they say things to you and promise to keep their word but one thing i learned from is GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!!!!! and one thing you save your time and money and move somewhere else, they arent the only apartments out there ;)

New articles
Every year the International Sport Society meets a number of new National and International Federations of various names and various kinds. Being very little public information available people and sportsmen have difficulties to understand what is what. Every of these federations use to declare they are better than the other ones. But that are only declarations. For example NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association, juridically it is a UK Public Club) was split three times during the last twenty years and the new federations appeared then. After these organizations also fighted inside and again were split. The process never ends and it gives nothing positive especially on for the Official Sport, for the recognition of bodybuilding...
For decades due to the false ways of development by the former International Sport Leaders today nobody looks towards bodybuilding seriously. Former beautiful kind of sport is turned in to business only. Manipulating with sportsmen, doping affairs, health and even lives of bodybuilders is a "normal everyday's" case. Nothing is official and it seems like never stopping children's game. Bodybuilding lives in a closed inner circle, closed narrow society, which most people do not like or even hate. This is the image of bodybuilding today. And this image is very negative.
The main question for every federation today is the only one: what really positive this federation is doing for the OFFICIAL SPORT, what it can do to make contemporary problematic bodybuilding to be RECOGNIZED and RESPECTED sport not only for bodybuilders themselves, but for all World's public society? We say "really positive" because most federations say one and do the opposite. For example, a private commercial company IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) declared many interesting positive things. But some years ago after inner fighting the IFBB was split and divided. Then the Vice President IFBB PAUL CHUA (Singapore) and IFBB Lower ALEX BAUER (Austria) published the IFBB juridical documents. The long lasting IFBB lies was finished. The documents proved that he IFBB is not a federation, it is a provate commercial company. High International IFBB Officials were manipulating with doping. They were hiding doping results, for definite amount of money they let the guilty for doping usage sportsmen and officials remain unpunished. They were selling the programmes of how to use doping. That was the reason of a number of court trials in Poland for the High International IFBB Official and National President IFBB Poland PAVEL FILEBORN. The IFBB was hiding the cases when young sportsmen died. For these reasons IOC (International Olympic Committee) refused to recognize the IFBB. For this reason the IFBB was thrown out of the World Games and Asia Games, not long ago after a scandal at the International Event in Azerbajan Governments Poland and Ukraine stopped supporting and financing national IFBB federations (see documents on the International Site www.wff.lt, read forum topics "IFBB/EFBB illegal financial deals" and "Various International Federations"). And when this we say about the IFBB the juridical situation in another International Federations is even more worse. We could speak with humor about them, but all they do is not serious. This is the reason no Official International Organizations communicate with them.
Different to other International Federations being officially registered as a no profit International Social Sport Federation and having historical bodybuilding work background of nearly 50 years, the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International have already tried many ways to go (read in various languages published 33-34 Issues of the International Magazine "Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding" and see on the International Site www.wff.lt, read forum topics "Unknown History of Bodybuilding. How it was in real").
Being the World's Bodybuilding Leader today the WFF-WBBF unites 119 Countries from all Continents. Every year WFF-WBBF organizes over 60 International Events in many Countries.
WFF-WBBF International communicates with the Governmental and Social Institutions of many Countries. WFF-WBBF is in dialogue with most Official International Sport Structures, like IOC, WADA, GAISF etc..
WFF-WBBF work is supported by a number of International Religiuos Leaders, including the Vatican. Most impressive was the Vatican State evaluation of the positive work of the WFF-WBBF in developing total fitness and bodybuilding throughout the World. For this work done the Vatican Congregat Perfect J. Em. JOZEF KARDINAL TOMKO presented the Vatican Pontific Medal (Medaglia Ufficiale di Pontificato di Sua Santita Benedetto XVI) to the President WFF-WBBF DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS (Headquarters State Vatican, Cita del Vaticano, March 29, 2011).
It seems that the WFF-WBBF International is the sole one International Bodybuilding Structure which really cares for the bodybuilding sport to make it recognized and official, to make it real sport as many others Olympic Sports are. It is not easy, even not real, but the WFF-WBBF declares this to be it's priority and it permanently goes this way.
That is why we underline that speedy growing number of new federations does not change the position of bodybuilding at all and it has zero value from the point of view of the OFFICIAL SPORT RECOGNITION.

In May 2015 the President WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS visited Vilnius State University – the oldest one in the East Europe (started in 1578). At this University EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS studied at the Faculties of Law and Filology and received two specialities - the Speciality Philology (1977) and another one of Lower (1983).
In 2013 after the evaluation of the International work done by the President WFF-WBBF International EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS the Lvov City Stavropigion University (started it's history in 1788) presented EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS the Honorable Academic "University Science Doctor's" Degree (Doctor Honoris Causa, Doctor of Sciences, DSc).
And this is the Highest Academic Degree and this is already the actual International Bodybuilding Sport HISTORY. Also it is the unique happening - today EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS is the only one Doctor of Bodybuilding Sciences.
At the Lvov City Stavropigion University Honour Ceremony were present many High Representatives of Science, among them the Rector Lvov Stavropigion University, Vice President UNESCO Programm Centre Professor JAROSLAV KMIT (Ярослав Кмiт), the Rector Moscow University and Academic of the International Academy of Euroasia, Academic Science Academy High Scools Ukraine, Professor VIKTOR IDZIO (Вiктор Iдзьо).
