• Marin sewage cost dispute persists at agencies (marinij.com) — Larkspur residents are caught in the middle of a heated dispute over sewage treatment rates, with a 50% hike for Ross Valley Sanitary District customers under fire from local officials, including a Larkspur councilmember. The clash centers on how Central Marin Sanitation Agency calculates charges and allocates board voting power, with lawsuits, closed-door dispute resolution, and calls for a new governance model all still unfolding.
   

• Screen Grabs: The making of a spectacular Hollywood horror disaster (48hills.org) — Larkspur's Lark Theater is hosting a special "live cinema" night, with Austin band The Invincible Czars performing original soundtracks to Nosferatu and Faust for local audiences. The broader piece surveys new horror and genre releases, but for Larkspur readers the standout is this across-the-bridge event, part of a week packed with classic monster films, documentaries, and inventive new thrillers around the Bay Area.
