Bice, back to the trees, head bowed over his easel, hands capturing the live Richmond landscape with his paintbrush and gouache.
Living Beyond Labels: Navigating the Medical Needs of a Family With Disabilities
A gram scale sat with its stainless-steel face open on Marni Rosen’s kitchen counter. Numbers flashed, calibrating the small spoonsful of high-fat cooking oil, butter and heavy whipping cream that Rosen prepared. She eyed the ticking digits to their precise tenth decimal, remembering the strict instructions from the Epilepsy Center in a local San Francisco children’s hospital. After a debilitating series of Electrical Status Epilepticus in Sleep (ESES) seizures nine years ago, Zeke, Rosen’s then 4-year-old son, began a meticulous, medically managed ketogenic diet.

Over five years ago, I opined in these pages about then U.S. Senator Kamala Harris and her dishonesty in securing $97,000 from California taxpayers as a member of the California Unemployment Insurance Board to which she was appointed in 1993 by her boyfriend Willie Brown, then-Assembly Speaker, while simultaneously paid by Alameda County taxpayers as an Alameda County deputy district attorney, supposedly a full-time endeavor. The following year (1994), she was named to the California Medical Commission at an even higher tax-paid salary which was increased in 1998 to $99,000 per year. Somehow, she evaded a state law prohibiting payment for two jobs which might result in conflicting responsibilities.
