Tom Kunicki's goal for himself this year is to bike as much as he can and to drive as little as possible. "This year I just said I'm going to bike all year," said the 34-year-old resident of Madison who works as a software engineer in Fitchburg. He's off to a good start, putting in 380 miles in January. His commute to work from his residence on Regent Street is easy enough. It 's a 10-mile ride that isn 't hilly and is partly on the Southwest Bike Path and the Capital City Trail. .

The West Marin Medical Center in Point Reyes Station is one of the things that makes present West Marin what it is for the rest of us. Dr. Molly Bourne has been one of the best things around West Marin. Not just because she is a really nice lady, but because she embodies what is good and true here in West Marin. She IS what medicine SHOULD be all about. She was always open to new ideas and added her creativeness to our need for health care. She cares and takes more than the proscribed 10 minutes allowed by Managed Care, per patient. She seemed to actually know each of us as a human being. She is/was a gift to West Marin. One we are losing.
Molly Bourne got broad-sided by Managed Care and the crazy reality of our nation's for-big-profit-to-stockholders health system. An excellent and caring physician is leaving us because the overall system of health care in this county is a travesty of unfairness to doctor and patient alike.
The Tour of America - Announces New Route
Frank Arokiasamy, Aqu's president, originally announced details of the event during a press conference at Interbike, the bicycle industry's annual trade show held in Las Vegas. As originally conceived, the race would have covered 4,000 miles (more than 6,000 km) with 27 stages during 30 days of competition. "During and after our announcement at Interbike, almost daily I received emails and phone calls with positive and negative comments about the race," Arokiasamy said. "The overwhelming response showed there was an interest and a need for a 'Tour de France-style' race here in the United States. Based on the feedback from everyone, we realized our first plans were perhaps too ambitious and that the original race schedule didn't fit within standard racing protocols. To ensure the race would attract the best international racing teams and the support of both cycling enthusiasts and sports fans alike, we've modified the race schedule and route to its current form." The 2008 Tour of America will be the largest spectator event in the history of U.S.

The 1,000-foot break in the landscape, picturesque as it is, has raised weighty questions about how this town at the elbow of Cape Cod should respond.
