A citywide traffic-speed survey found that several streets don’t comply with California’s 85th percentile rule, which requires speed limits to be set at the average speed of 85 percent of vehicles on the roadway. The law is designed to prevent law-enforcement speed traps. The engineering and speed survey determined which roads were out of compliance and how the problem could be remedied. Staff held two workshops in early March seeking community input on proposed changes to slow traffic to comply with posted speeds, except for on two parts of East Bayshore Road where speeds would increase to 40 mph. In north Palo Alto, modifications would be required on University Avenue from Middlefield Road to Woodland Avenue; Alma Street from University Avenue to Embarcadero Road; Embarcadero Road segments east of U.S. Highway 101, from 101 to Middlefield Road and from Mid-

People sometimes can be patronizing with older folks when it comes to technology, said CBS tech journalist Larry Magid, citing a young clerk he recently encountered who A monthly special section of news & information for seniors seemed surprised at his familiarity Living Well with Facebook. “It got me thinking,” Magid told an audience at Mitchell Park Community Center in Palo Alto last month. “Who do you think invented the smartphone? How old are they now? Inventors of this technology are now themselves seniors. Bill Gates is 61. Steve Jobs would be 62. Steve Wozniak is 66, old enough for Medicare. It’s pretty amazing when you think that many people our age have really grown up with and are comfortable with technology.” Magid was in Palo Alto on March 25 as part of an all- day conference, “Living Better with Technology,” sponsored by nonprofit senior agency Avenidas.

Page 26 • April 7, 2017 • Palo Alto Weekly • www.PaloAltoOnline.com Let’s Talk About Home Care. Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one. Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client's unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock. Home care supports advanced care needs.

Topics will include trapping and creating barriers and deterrents. Master Gardener Janice Moody, who is leading the class, at one time maintained six acres in Pescadero using gopher and deer abatement techniques that she will share in the class. Co- presenter Nancy Grove gardens on the Midpeninsula with a focus on waterwise perennial plantings, small fruit orchards and raised beds.

Stanford’s Mackenzie Little, women’s javelin winner at the Stanford Invitational, was named Pac-12 Women’s Field Event Athlete of the Week. Little, a sophomore from New South Wales, Australia, threw 182-5 for the No. 2 throw in NCAA Division I this year to win the competition for the second consecutive year. The reigning Pac-12 champ came within 1’5” of the Stanford school record held by four-time Pac-12 champ Brianna Bain. It was Little’s longest throw since making her collegiate debut at the Stanford Invitational last year, when she went 183-4. She went on to dominate the Pac-12 Championships, winning by 30 feet, and placed seventh at the NCAA Championships. On Saturday, Little will attempt to repeat as

the Big Meet winner, when the Harjanto Sumali Cardinal takes on Cal in the 123rd renewal of their rivalry. Stanford has dominated the women’s javelin in the annual duel, winning for the past 14 years in that event. Little is Michael Genender keeps his focus as Stanford prepares to host USC at noon Friday.
