.This Week in the Pacific Sun

In this week’s Pacific Sun we focus on food and drink. Our cover story explores how Marin County’s Straus Family Creamery stays afloat in what are turbulent times in the dairy industry. One tactic: They make a lot of great ice cream. They also try to support local agriculture. The author of that story, Jonah Raskin, has another piece about next steps in Napa County where environmentalists suffered a narrow defeat at the polls last month to reign in hillside vineyard development. It’s a story that garnered international attention. Elsewhere in this week’s issue you’ll find the latest trivia quiz, Hero and Zero, letters to the editor, movie times and reviews and of course your horoscope.
