"It goes with the more conservative times. People are beginning to look back to what they have given up.

There's a reconsideration of tradition in the Indeed, mixed marriages do have a higher divorce rate. "I think singles are looking around and thinking: How is it that the average couple stays together?" said Rambo Lewis, professor of religion and psychology at the San Francisco Theological Seminary. "They recognize on a practical level that if they marry someone of a different religion, it can cause problems." herent religious and cultural differences would lead to major problems down the line. This is of great concern to young singles today, who are the first generation to grow up surrounded by divorce and to see its devastating effect on families. In addition, some sociologists believe that the emphasis on common religion is part of a general return to traditional values highlighted during the conservative years of the Reagan and Bush administrations.

Milton Marks III of San Francisco is part of this generation. Because both his brother and sister married non-Jews, he feels pressured to marry within the faith, so he goes to Jewish singles events and has joined a Jewish dating service. "I think my parents expect it of me," said Marks, 32, who works for his father, a state senator. "I always had more connection with being Jewish than my brother and sister." Psychologists and others view this trend as a backlash to the proliferation of interfaith marriages in the United States. But they say it may be a while before the reversal shows up in statistics, which reflect a steady rise in the number of Americans marrying outside their religion since the mid-1960s.

For example, studies show that 40 percent of Catholics are married to non-Catholics; 70 percent of Protestants are married to someone of another Protestant denomination and 18 percent are married to non-Protestants; and 17 percent of Jews are married to non-Jews. Last year, more than half of Jewish marriages were to non-Jews.

Singles are paying hundreds of dollars to Christian and Jewish dating services and making the rounds of events at Bay Area churches and synagogues to increase the odds of finding a religiously correct partner. They are even attending services, ogling each other over prayer books instead of margaritas.

But recently, it was time for Hubert to graduate and Juliana traveled to San Rafael to turn Hubert over to his new owner, Arthur Griess of Redlands. "When I dropped Hubert off, I crawled into the kennel with him and sat for two hours before I could leave him," said Juliana.

Hidden for years behind a building that housed an ice cream shop, the little gas station was visible only to those who drove the narrow street that ran beside it and even then, people might have mistaken it for a shed. But when the building in front was torn down for remodeling, Bob moved the teeny-tiny gas station himself, taking it to the park-and-ride lot near New Brighton State Park where it now rests, said Carolyn Swift of the Capitola Historical Museum. "His example proves that historic preservation can be considered as a viable alternative to demolition," said museum board president Margaret Fabrizio.
