According to the Marin IJ, environmental issues have put plans for a new $130 million Mill Valley Middle School on hold, according to consultants for the school district.

Sandrine Hitchcock, a program manager for the construction consulting firm AECOM, discussed the project during a public forum on Thursday, saying the last step of the California Environmental Quality Act process is expected in July.

Marin Voice: Cost of Housing in our County has Become Obscene

Marin Voice: Cost of Housing in our County has Become Obscene

I have met a number of Marin residents facing homelessness. One works full-time while also caring for her developmentally disabled son. Another pays more in rent than her entire monthly income, watching her savings shrink monthly. These residents are in their 70s. They are scared, angry and feel betrayed by their community. They do not match the stereotypes of the homeless.

Bonnie Powers and Jeffrey Levin, owners of the multi-faceted Poet and/the Bench lifestyle store and jewelry atelier space at 11 Throckmorton Ave., continue to curate creativity, with ‘Interconnected Opposing Forces,’ an event set for Thursday, October 25 from 3-7pm. The event features a pair of artists via both sculpture and Cut Paper Collage. Seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interdependent and interconnected. Finding harmony and balance in systems in which the forces are constantly changing, can trip the imagination into innovation gear. Such is the story with the two artists, featured in Poet and/the Bench’s latest exhibit.
