I wanted to thank you for using a picture of my house at 107 Bolinas Ave. in Ross in your summer "Hidden Marin" Neighborhoods magazine featuring the Seminary area. As was pointed out in Brooke Jackson's article, the Seminary area is a wonderful area, but rarely mentioned. Our house was built 100 years ago as a servants' house and through my blood, sweat and tears has evolved over the last 26 years to the quaint home that was pictured. Many thanks! Rich Petovello, Ross A drought of facts This is in response to Loren Moore and Adam Scow's letter from July 16 ["The DeSalt Treaty"], in which they argued against the Marin Municipal Water District ever considering a desal plant. Having been a manufacturer of smallscale desalinations systems for 13 years I know a little bit about the technology involved. I became slightly incensed when I came across blatant misinformation portrayed in Moore's and Scow's letter regarding the possibility of a Marin Municipal Water District desalination plant. I am not interested in making a case for or against the project but I believe that the MMWD generally has Marin's interest at heart in that they want to continue to provide good quality water to the ratepayer regardless of potential future droughts. Imagine the public outcry if we entered a sustained drought and there was no plan in place to provide adequate supplies of potable water. I can hear it now: "How come MMWD didn't build that desalination plant when they were talking about it!" My issue is with the misinformation portrayed in Moore's and Scow's letter. They state, "A desalination plant would kill marine life that is sucked into the plant and the discharge of salty brine would threaten the bay's delicate ecosystem." First, the plant will have big screens to prevent fish from being sucked into the plant and, secondly, MMWD spent a ton of money studying the pretreatment process and chose an "ultra" filtration system as the best method. The ultra filters sit in big vats and filter out all the microorganisms, silt and the like. When they get dirty all this material rich in biological mass gets flushed back into the bay where it belongs. The second bit of nonsense is that the "salty brine" will threaten the bay's delicate ecosystem." This has been studied time and again, not just by MMWD, but in dozens of areas around the globe. The result is that with some attention to how the brine is distributed back into the ecosystem there is no deleterious effect. Finally they state, "Citizens are concerned that desalination may be unable to properly filter some toxins and pharmaceuticals in the bay." Please!

Marcia Blackman, San Rafael Sutter—we're the illness, and the cure... Sutter Health's corporate honchos were probably aggravated they couldn't deplete Marin General Hospital (MGH) funds even more ["Take the Money and Run," June 4] to pay for Sutter's latest blitz of self-serving full-page ads in the Pacific Sun and elsewhere. Let's get real. An accurate translation of Sutter's carefully crafted advertising message is: (1) OK, big deal, so we legally weakened our now-competitor MGH by transferring huge amounts of its cash into our own corporate coffers—let's put all that in the past, and forgive and forget; (2) Marinites should henceforth "partner" with us in a "forward-looking, collaborative vision," utilizing Novato Community Hospital and other Sutter Health services to further weaken Marin General while removing even more healthcare dollars from Marin. Sutter has proven itself a very predatory corporate citizen, but Marin residents (acting as healthcare consumers) can have the last laugh, by learning from our painful experience so we can create a healthier future. By our choosing MGH-affiliated facilities for future treatment—rather than Sutter's Terra Linda urgent-care clinic, Novato Community, and its to-be-built San Rafael outpatient services—we can financially strengthen our own excellent locally controlled Marin General Hospital while teaching Sutter and similar corporate vultures a much-needed lesson.

Louis Joseph Rapacilo, Marin Only 'secret society' we have is our letters-page contributors... Most of the public is aware of so-called "secret societies" which live by their own rules and don't obey the law—motorcycle gangs, drug cartels, organized crime, etc. But there are some more the public should be aware of: cops, doctors, lawyers, nursing homes, movie studios, courts, tanzanite jewelry marketers and newspapers.

Craig Whatley, San Rafael Put your stamp on the letters to the editor at ›› pacificsun.com JULY 30 - AUGUST 5, 2010 PACIFIC SUN 7 ›› UPFRONT Water district's measured response Competing district initiative like salt on a wound for desal opponents by Pe t e r S e i d m a n T he veil of polite pretense dropped Monday at a meeting called to determine the fate of two ballot initiatives aimed at taking desalination to Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) voters in November. A coalition opposed to a district proposal to consider building a desalination plant as an insurance policy against short water supply during future droughts collected enough signatures to qualify an initiative on the ballot. MMWD officials say the initiative would hamstring efforts to even consider a desalination plant. Backers of the Marin Responsible Water Policy Ballot Initiative, including Dr. Bill Rothman, Dr. Larry Rose, Loren Moore of the Surfrider Foundation Marin, Katherine da Silva Jain of the Marin Water Coalition and Adam Scow of Food and Water Watch, submitted their initiative to the Marin registrar of voters, and on June 18, the registrar took a random sample of the signatures and determined that enough people had signed to qualify the initiative for the ballot. Food and Water Watch provided legal advice and chipped in to pay for some signature gathering. The coalition submitted about 18,000 signatures; the registrar determined that about 15,000 were valid, 130 percent more than needed. Several times during Monday night's meeting at San Rafael City Hall, desalination opponents called up that 18,000-signature petition as proof that district ratepayers want to send the district an unequivocal message. The problem, as district officials see it, is the exact nature of that message. Soon after the initiative qualified for the ballot, district officials raised concerns that ambiguous wording would require more than a vote before funding and construction of a desalination plant; they contend that it would prevent the district from even evaluating the efficacy of a desalination plant. The initiative "represents a gag order for the district," according to David Behar, president of the district board. "It shuts down evaluation of environmental issues, it would stop us from figuring out how to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions of a plant, it would eliminate our ability to put out contracts to evaluate fisheries issues, it would stop us from finding out how much a plant would even cost."

"If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you," will mean more to Novato residents than lyrics from a Christmas song this autumn—as the City Council voted 5-0 this week to put a half-cent sales-tax increase on the November ballot. Novato's $1.4 million budget shortfall is to blame for the move, said councilmembers. The projected $3 million revenue from the jump in tax—from 9 to 9.5 percent—would cover that, as well as restore some of the cuts the city has incurred since it decided to cut $4 million from the budget and lay off 17 percent of its workforce over the next two years. Opponents of the tax hike say it would hurt the city's poorest residents, while others lukewarm to the idea said they'd support the tax only if the city first lowered employee salaries and benefits. Two desal measures better than one? Before it filters salt from the sea, the Marin Municipal Water District will filter off a few votes—when it places its own desalination measure on the November ballot to compete with a stricter desal measure that's already qualified for the ballot [see Upfront, left]. The water district's measure, approved by the board at a meeting Monday at the San Rafael City Council chambers, asks voters if the public should have the ability to approve a desal plant once the project is ready. The Marin Responsible Water Policy Ballot Initiative, meanwhile, would oblige the district to seek voter approval before it spends any public money at all on desal—a requirement the district believes is so strict it would ultimately prevent it from even studying desalination, let alone approve a project. Specifically, say district officials, the MRWP measure's wording implies that voter approval would be required before the district entered into any "contracts to plan for" desal—which some say prevents the district's own staff from ever working on anything to do with desal, at least without an election first. Critics of the board suggest its move to place a competing measure on the ballot is a thinly veiled attempt to split the votes and kill both initiatives. For either measure to be approved, it would need more than 50 percent of the votes; if both measures receive over 50 percent, the one with the most votes would become law. Breast cancer foundation issues grants Several cash-squeezed Marin nonprofits are doing a bit more celebrating thanks to the To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation, which has doled out $275,000 in grants among 21 Bay Area nonprofits. The grants' focus is for "individuals from underserved communities," according to the foundation, and will be used mostly for mammograms and diagnostic testing. Among the grant recipients are such Marin-based nonprofits as the Marin Center for Independent Living, Marin Cancer Institute, Meals of Marin, Marin General Hospital, the Institute for Health and Healing and the Coastal Health Alliance. Mammograms and other breast-cancer testing have in the past largely been funded by the California Cancer Detection program, but state budget woes have resulted in a funding freeze for the first half of 2010, and cutbacks are expected to continue. The Marin-based foundation has raised more than $3.1 million for breast cancer causes since 1996.

The district had three options after the registrar accepted the initiative: The board could pass the initiative as an ordinance; it could initiate a report focusing on the consequences of the initiative; or it could essentially do nothing, which would send the initiative to the November ballot. The board chose to initiate the report option. According to the staff report, which relies in part on conclusions of the district's legal counsel, the initiative would, indeed, hamstring efforts to evaluate effects and possible mitigation measures of a potential desalination plant: "Given the broad language of the initiative and its potential for halting all desalination related activities, including planning permitting and studying (whether undertaken by staff or outside consultants) without a vote of the electorate, staff believes the impact to the district's water supply planning activities would be acute, immediate and all encompassing.â€? The staff report recommended that the board submit the initiative to the registrar to be placed on the ballot as Ordinance 419, which the board voted for unanimously. The district has crafted its own ballot initiative, which, like the coalition's, calls for a vote of the district's approximately 190,000 customers in southern and central Marin before it could fund or construct a desalination facility. But the district's initiative would allow forward progress of studies associated, for instance, with environmental impacts and permitting issues related to a < 8 Water district's measured response process, backers circulated leaets that read, "Please Sign the Ballot Initiative. Assure the public's right to prevent a $400 million boost in our water bills.â€? Last summer, the district board accepted an environmental impact report that assessed issues related to a 5-million-gallon-per-day plant that could be expanded to 15 million gallons per day. The 5-million-gallon startup would cost about $105 million, according to district estimates. Opponents added costs associated with funding to construction costs, and then they added costs associated with operating a plant over 30 years, says Behar, bringing the total to $400 million. Although the leaets and the campaign focused on the money issues, desalination initiative proponents hammered the "right to voteâ€? message. The initiative, they said, was not a referendum on desalination. But at Monday's meeting, which lasted four hours and ended at 11:30pm, desalination opponents made it clear their true intention is to kill desalination. The coalition's initiative states, "This ordinance is intended to require that only if there is an afďŹ rmative vote for such actions, by the voters of MMWD, may MMWD issue any bonds to construct a desalination facility or spend any other funds or make contracts to plan for, engineer or construct a desalination facility.â€?

The comment elicited loud applause and cheers from an audience comprising mostly desalination opponents. "That part he got right,â€? Rothman continued, "but he didn't realize why we want to tie your hands: because they are in our pockets.â€? He then said they want to do more than that; they want to put district desalination consideration in "a straitjacket.â€? The debate has split a substantial contingent of the sustainable community from some environmental organizations, as evidenced by the Conservation League's position that although conservation should be the district's top priority, the responsible course of action is to allow it to continue evaluating desalination. The issue became more complex earlier this year, when, according to a staff report, the district noted that in the last 18 months water use has declined 15 percent; this means that at current consumption levels, the district could manage a drought similar to the one in 1975-1976 with 25 percent rationing in the second year. But, say district ofďŹ cials, it's critical to determine whether the reduction in water demand will continue after, say, the economy rebounds. And it's critical for the district to be able to continue putting its desalination ducks in a row to expedite the construction of a plant if another serious drought occurs. It takes up to two years to complete studies and permitting, according to a staff report; getting a plant operational could take up to ďŹ ve years. The district has just a two-year supply 11 > COUPON COUPON PET CLUB N THE VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER TOWN CENTER SHELL STATION desalination plant. Just days before the Monday night meeting, MMWD Director Jack Gibson said he thought there may have been an opportunity to reach a compromise initiative with the coalition. (Gibson signed the coalition's initiative but later removed his name when he realized its implications.) "I actually reached out to those folks and had a very friendly meeting with Adam Scow of Food and Water Watch. It was very cordial, but they said the problem is they had gone to a lot of work to (craft and present their own initiative( and they have a lot of people relying on them.â€? Enough, says Gibson for them to say they could not just drop their initiative and work with the district on a new one. That the coalition's initiative, which proponents call the citizens' initiative, is aimed at scuttling desalination rather than simply calling for a vote became clear at the meeting. Rothman said if the board had thought an alternative initiative would be more advantageous for the district, it could have taken action before waiting until the last minute to create and unveil its own version. The intimation, expressed by others in harsher terms, is that the district is trying to snooker voters by placing a competing measure on one ballot. Roger Roberts of the Marin Conservation League expressed support for the district measure because it would allow exploration of a desalination component in the district's water-supply portfolio.

Schaefer, 44, was stabbed repeatedly in his neck and chest with a makeshift weapon on a San Quentin exercise yard Monday morning in front of hundreds of inmates, a prison spokesman said. The former Novato resident died at Marin General Hospital on Monday night. Prison officials named 31-year-old tattoo artist Frank Anthony Souza the primary suspect and said they were con- Edward John Schaefer tinuing to investigate a motive and whether others were involved. With a "WHITE POWER" tattoo emblazoned across his forehead and "My Evil Ways" tattooed on his chest like a necklace, Souza arrived at San Quentin in January to serve 60 years to life for murdering a homeless man in San Jose. Souza's MySpace page (www.myspace.com/ troublesome1488) shows the suspect posing in various states of aggression. The title of the page, Troublesome 1488, is a reference to writings of white supremacists, according to urbandictionary.com. Schaefer—who had nine drunkendriving convictions but still possessed a driver's license in 2009 when he got on his Harley, raced 60 miles an hour through a stop sign and killed Melody Osheroff—arrived at San Quentin only 10 days before his death. A Marin County jury convicted him of second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in connection with the May 2009 accident that killed the San Ramon Elementary School fourth-grader. Trial testimony showed that Schaefer, with a blood-alcohol level possibly twice the legal limit, drove his motorcycle between two cars < 10 Water district's measured response count when earlier this year it tabled desalination. The increased conservation levels allow the district more time to evaluate desalination as an option. That, however, failed to blunt the attack opponents mounted in the form of their initiative. They say the drop in consumption proves their contention that the district can boost conservation levels even more. These numbers, they say, lend credence to a report compiled by a former district conservation manager that states the district can benefit from increased conservation and other methods to maximize water supply. They also say the district is downplaying the possible health, safety and environmental issues that could be associated with a desalination plant. That comes despite a pilot plant that received a clean bill of health. An environmental report notes no significant impacts on bay water or drinking water or other parts of the desalination process. Board members agree that significant of water when its reservoirs are full. Dan Carney, the district's conservation manager, says water demand is down across the state. Water officials attribute the decline to the prolonged statewide drought as well as increased conservation education and technology. Will the reductions continue? It takes about five years to call it a sustainable trend, says Carney. And even then, when a water district relies on conservation to fulfill its demand, it also relies on human behavior, which can be mercurial. Nevertheless, Carney says, water officials in the state are talking about the possibility of a sea change in water consumption. "It's an exciting time," he notes, adding that even a few years ago, the conservation effort focused on reaching attainable goals. Now, moving past hope-for goals, the focus is on maintaining conservation levels. The district board took all that into ac- Frank Anthony Souza waiting for Melody and her father, Aaron Osheroff, to cross the street. Aaron Osheroff lost one of his legs and has had multiple surgeries on the other. Earlier this month, Superior Court Judge Terrence Boren sentenced Schaefer to 24 years to life in prison. Novato police delivered the news of Schaefer's killing in person to the Osheroff family Monday night. Reached in his College of Marin office on Tuesday, Aaron Osheroff said the death brought him no relief. "It's more violence following his violence," he said. "I wanted him to serve his 24 years to life in prison. I think living in prison probably would have been harder." Though upset, Schaefer's mother said she welcomed her son's death. "My son is in peace," Sheri Dunne said. "Even though he had his ups and downs with the alcohol, my son is with Jesus. We're really happy that this has happened, and he doesn't have to spend any time in that place." questions remain to be answered concerning the proposed desalination plant and its possible effects. That's why they object to the citizens' initiative that would block further study of a specific plant proposal. Several times Monday night the tone of the meeting degenerated into a one-sided booing, yelling and hissing situation. Only a few speakers expressed support for the board's position that the district must be allowed to pursue investigating the possibilities of desalination, especially in light of uncertain changes associated with climate change. That climate change, say opponents, will mean more rainfall in Marin. Proponents of further study, however, say the only responsible course of action is to allow the district to cover its drought bases. The level of frustration among desalination opponents, who say the district ignores the wishes of ratepayers, increased when the board voted unanimously to place its initiative on the ballot as Ordi- The last time a prisoner was killed at San Quentin was in 1997, when an inmate stabbed to death condemned murderer Jimmy Palma. Palma's killing also took place on an exercise yard. His Southern California victims included a 5-year-old girl and an infant boy. Prison spokesman Lt. Samuel Robinson said Schaefer was stabbed with what inmates call a "bone crusher"—a metal object sharpened on both ends and possibly cut out of an inmate's bunk bed—on the exercise yard of the prison's reception center. When inmates first enter San Quentin, they go to the reception center to be assessed for placement. Schaefer and prison officials together decided he did not need protective housing, Robinson said. "He believed he was OK to live in our general population here," he said. Robinson said it remained unclear Wednesday what prompted the killing. "We're trying to figure out whether it was a personal issue or whether it's something else," he said. Dunne expressed anger that police contacted the Osheroffs about her son's stabbing while she learned about it from a news report. She said she believes Schaefer had been set up to be killed. Just before Boren announced his sentence on July 13, Schaefer offered an eleventh-hour apology. "I just want to say to the Osheroffs and to you," he told the judge, "even though I've been demonized so much, I am sorry, very sorry. I'm very ashamed." Schaefer leaves a daughter who is 11 years old—the same age Melody would have been had she lived. ✹ Email Ronnie at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Several speakers said the citizens' initiative was submitted first, deserved the top spot and the board was engaging in underhanded politics because the placement of the initiatives on the ballot would confuse voters. (Whichever measure receives the most votes will win and negate the other, providing the winning initiative receives more than 50 percent of the vote.)

By law, since 2004, healthcare providers who dispense controlled substances like oxycodone must report dispensing information to the Department of Justice monthly. In the telephone interview, Stamm said C.J., a heavyset woman who explained that only large doses of narcotics muffled her pain, told her she had been a prominent Marin County lawyer but chronic pain following a car accident, a fractured ankle and subsequent surgeries had left her unable to function in her job and homeless. C.J. told Stamm that her Kaiser physician had refused to give her the pain medication she felt she needed to get back on her feet. "I felt sorry for her," Stamm said. "I felt I wanted to help her. So I put her back on the opiate, and she got back to work. "It turned out that unbeknownst to me she was a sociopath in addition to a borderline personality disorder. So she lied to me and didn't tell me she was getting opiates from other sources. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, and it has really been a mistake, and I realize that now." Stamm said C.J. paid her for the first few sessions but then said she had no money, and the psychiatrist agreed to wait for payment until C.J. returned to work. Stamm said C.J. owes her thousands of dollars. "This whole thing has been so painful to me because I meant so well," Stamm said. Physicians began treating chronic pain with opiates in the 1990s. As a result of the movement toward more aggressive pain management, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates at least a 10-fold increase in the medical use of opiate painkillers during the past 15 years. At the same time, U.S. drug overdose rates have risen steadily, with most of the increase due to prescription drugs, according to the CDC. Stamm said her father suffered a painful death three years ago because he was undermedicated. "I hope we don't go back to the old days where people were left to die and where children had surgery with no painkiller," she said. ✹ Email Ronnie at firstname.lastname@example.com.

When asked how she survived the long hours and grueling conditions, Davis replied, "The Cosco Busan oil spill in San Francisco was very different. That was a very ďŹ nite event. There was one big blob of oil that spilled and then was stopped. The spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been going on and on so the aftereffects will continue going on and on as well. I felt privileged to be involved here. I wanted to be a part of the effort, especially since I'm from New Orleans. It's great to see the birds after they've been washed. They're jumping in the water, apping their wings. It takes over your whole life and it's hard to leave.â€? â—? â—? â—? â—? TWENTY-YEAR-OLD HUMBOLDT STATE University student Stephany Helbig of Fairfax left to volunteer at Deepwater Horizon over two weeks ago. Helbig has been volunteering at WildCare since she was 13 years old, but this is her ďŹ rst time helping out at an oil spill. "I was 17 during the Cosco Busan oil spill so I wasn't old enough to work with oiled birds. This is my ďŹ rst opportunity to go to a bird rescue. I would love to say it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance but unfortunately, it probably won't be.â€? Helbig hopes to become a veterinarian and travel around the world doing research on preserving wildlife habitat. She's presently studying wildlife science and conservation biology while working part-time as an intern at a veterinary clinic in Petaluma. Before she left for the trip she was told she'd be picked up in Louisiana but could be trained and stationed there or moved to Alabama, Florida or Mississippi. The unknown location didn't worry her. "All I WildCare volunteer Arlene Davis is a mild-mannered Motorola engineer by day—and bird-rescue superhero by night... knew is that I'd be put in a large house or trailer with lots of other people. I had no idea where, but to me it's just like going to a dorm in college. I'm used to that!â€? Before she left she shared that her fear wasn't about working with the birds. She's extremely familiar with handling and restraining all types of wildlife and knowing how to stay safe. Her biggest concern was the long 12-hour days in the heat and humidity wearing a Hazmat suit. When I heard from her last week in Louisiana, she was busy washing birds she had rarely seen such as spoonbills, laughing gulls, terns and tri-colored herons; and not only was it extremely hot, but there were thunderstorms outside and a local tornado warning. Yet still, she sounded grateful to be part of the rescue. "I'm getting a lot of valuable rehab and triage experience from being here. I much prefer the small size of the laughing gulls to the giant western gulls at home. Less painful when ďŹ ngers are near the beak region.â€? There's never a good time for an oil spill but the absolute worst time is in the spring and summer when wildlife creatures are breeding. From April to August the food sources are rich: fruit, berries, insects that animals can feed to their brood. This spill is especially hitting hard the breeding colonies of baby pelicans. Melanie Piazza, WildCare's director of animal care, would like to help in the Gulf of Mexico in a few months. "I'm here holding down the fort along with our staff and volunteers and sending who we can. We treat close to 4,000 animals a year here,â€? says Piazza. "Once our baby season winds down I'm planning on going. In the fall, when we can spare more staff, we'll be sending more people.â€? Here in Marin County, many people are overwhelmed by the disaster and frustrated that they can't help. Piazza recommends that Bay Area citizens prepare for disaster now.

Why we heart WildCare: Each year 350 WildCare volunteers give approximately 39,000 hours of their time to treat wild animal patients and teach Bay Area schoolchildren. WildCare's wildlife rehabilitation hospital treats approximately 4,000 injured or orphaned wild animals of more than 200 different species—mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Over 90 percent of the wild patients treated at the center have been orphaned or injured by interaction with humans and/ or their pets, not by natural causes. Each year the center's environmental education programs introduce more than 40,000 Bay Area children and adults to the creatures they share their habitat with. WildCare's 2010 budget is $2 million. They receive no ongoing support from any governmental agency but rely heavily on memberships, donations, fundraising and volunteer hours to serve the community. If you can't donate time or money, check out the "needs listâ€? on the website, which changes often. Sometimes they're in need of towels, spare produce from fruit trees, native plants or acorns. WildCare has miraculously survived for over 40 years with 90 percent of its staff being volunteers. Interested in volunteering at WildCare? Sign up now for the January orientation at www.wildcarebayarea.org. The organization is located at 76 Albert Park Lane in San Rafael; 415/456-0594. ✚ Brown pelicans, above, plus spoonbills, laughing gulls, tern and herons are common oil-ravaged birds in the Gulf; they're cleaned and released days later, after they regain their water repellency. "Make sure your family and pets are taken care of. Then come in to do the training with us to volunteer, instead of panicking when it hits and wishing you could help but being denied, because you're not trained.â€? WildCare has an orientation for volunteers every January. After the orientation, if you decide you can commit to the 16-hour training that occurs from January through March, you'll also need to commit to a four-hour shift just about each week throughout the year. "Some people stay for a year. Some stay for 20 years,â€? says Piazza. "Students 12 to 17 can volunteer as well. It's a little different training. We have kids, college students, adults and retirees. It's everybody. We're open seven days a week so we can ďŹ nd a shift to ďŹ t just about anyone's schedule! You can work after work or on a weekend. We always welcome new volunteers.â€? In an era where many feel more and more removed from nature and wildlife, Piazza hopes Marin residents will take the time to educate themselves about common backyard animals, instead of hating the opossums or raccoons that come around, uninvited, to eat out of the cat bowls in the garage. "One of the most amazing things about living in the Bay Area is the abundance of open space and wildlife just outside our doors. I recommend to anyone who calls us who is scared or 'hates' a particular animal or species to look them up online. Learn a little bit about the species and you'll be amazed at how incredible they are and maybe even start to appreciate them and enjoy catching glimpses of them.â€? She reminds us that our backyard wildlife is here for a reason. They serve a purpose in nature; opossums, raccoons, skunks for example are terriďŹ c rodent, snail and slug control. They eat critters that you don't want in your garden. Bats and swallows eat millions of mosquitoes every day. Coyotes and foxes eat hundreds of mice and rats. "Without our backyard wildlife we'd be in big trouble.â€? ✚ Ann Hathaway MD 25 years in medical practice Men & Women Do You Have...

The Night Parade
New release: http://joefrawley.bandcamp.com/album/the-night-parade
Available as digital download and Compact Disc.
Joe Frawley (b. July 4, 1971) is an experimental composer and pianist working out of New London, Connecticut, whose works blur the boundary between music and sound art. By layering and juxtaposing original music with processed found sounds, field recordings, and re-contextualized speech fragments, the composer creates challenging yet accessible sound assemblages bearing a distinct hypnotic quality, where sounds seem to emanate from the world of the subconscious. Restrained piano improvisations, sample loops and ambient electronics create lush atmospheres, which frequently devolve into unsettling dreamlike episodes. His works have been widely broadcast internationally and appear on several prominent experimental music compilations, including Vibrö No. 4: Music No Music, published by Double Entendre (Paris), and Audiotron, published by Extrapool (Netherlands). Frawley's work has been choreographed for Synthesis Dance Project (New York); featured on PopArt / Concertzender (Dutch national radio); and commissioned for the 2013 exhibition Jean François Niceron: Perspective, catoptrics & artificial magic, Università IUAV di Venezia (Venice, Italy). Joe Frawley's music can be found on the following labels: Time Released Sound, Clinical Archives, and Joe Frawley Music.
Joe Frawley is also one half of the experimental duo
