DR. RICHARD MILLER, MA, PhD and New Age audio avatar, may also be a literal carpet bagger. The doc seems to have bagged a valuable carpet belonging not to him but to the Mendocino Art Center where Miller also functions as trustee. During preparations for the Art Center’s 50th Anniversary celebration this Saturday, Dr. Miller was asked to return a large Oriental rug he’d removed from the Art Center.
Staff had rolled up the carpet because they thought it didn’t fit with the sculptures on exhibit. They then left it on a stairway where Dr. Miller declared it a safety hazard and decided it should be moved to his house for storage. Instead of simply returning the rug, valued at upwards of $5,000 when he was recently asked to return it, Dr. Miller snapped at the requester, “Who authorized you to contact me?” and “How dare you volunteer the maintenance guy’s services to pick up the rug.” As we go to press, the rug remains at the doctor’s house. (Miller’s KZYX show on alternating Tuesdays is called “Mind, Body, Health, Politics” where the unwary could be reduced to a kind of wheat germed feeblemindedness if any of the doc’s nostrums were to be taken seriously. So, why the gratuitous insult? It’s the holiday season.)
