Sleepy Hollow Homeowners Association May 3, 2013 Board of Supervisors of Marin County 3501 Civil Center Drive San Rafael, CA 94903-4157 Re: Stream Conservation Area (SCA) Proposed Amendments to the Development Code Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors: INTRODUCTION The Sleepy Hollow Homes Association (SHHA) objects to the proposed changes to Chapters 22.33 (Stream Protection) and 22.63 (Stream Conservation Area Permit) as they would apply to the residents of the unincorporated portion of San Anselmo known as Sleepy Hollow. We ask that the County exempt and/or delay implementation of any changes to Chapters 22.33 and 22.63 as to the city-centered corridor streams, including Sleepy Hollow. The SHHA supports implementation of the proposed amendments to the San Geronimo Valley, to protect wildlife habitat in streams where Coho Salmon currently exist. The SHHA supports regulations to ensure the health and survival of the species in these areas. The SHHA recognizes the urgency of this matter to the San Geronimo Valley, both for the survival of the endangered and declining Coho population and for the property rights of the affected residents who are currently subject to a building moratorium.

  • Ethnohistory and Ethnogeography of the Coast Miwok and Their Neighbors, 1783-1840
    ETHNOHISTORY AND ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE COAST MIWOK AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, 1783-1840 by Randall Milliken Technical Paper presented to: National Park Service, Golden Gate NRA Cultural Resources and Museum Management Division Building 101, Fort Mason San Francisco, California Prepared by: Archaeological/Historical Consultants 609 Aileen Street Oakland, California 94609 June 2009 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the locations of Spanish-contact period Coast Miwok regional and local communities in lands of present Marin and Sonoma counties, California. Furthermore, it documents previously unavailable information about those Coast Miwok communities as they struggled to survive and reform themselves within the context of the Franciscan missions between 1783 and 1840. Supplementary information is provided about neighboring Southern Pomo-speaking communities to the north during the same time period. The staff of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) commissioned this study of the early native people of the Marin Peninsula upon recommendation from the report’s author. He had found that he was amassing a large amount of new information about the early Coast Miwoks at Mission Dolores in San Francisco while he was conducting a GGNRA-funded study of the Ramaytush Ohlone-speaking peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. The original scope of work for this study called for the analysis and synthesis of sources identifying the Coast Miwok tribal communities that inhabited GGNRA parklands in Marin County prior to Spanish colonization. In addition, it asked for the documentation of cultural ties between those earlier native people and the members of the present-day community of Coast Miwok. The geographic area studied here reaches far to the north of GGNRA lands on the Marin Peninsula to encompass all lands inhabited by Coast Miwoks, as well as lands inhabited by Pomos who intermarried with them at Mission San Rafael.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture

INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

  • Chapter Eleven an Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881
    Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 1 Chapter Eleven An Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881 Tombstone, Arizona Territory, 1800s (Courtesy Tombstone Courthouse) Nellie stepped off the stage onto Allen Street’s dusty board sidewalk. She turned to catch her carpetbag when the stage driver lifted it down, but stumbled over the hem of her skirt into the path of a dark-haired man with a full mustache. The stranger grabbed Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 2 her waist. “Whoa. Welcome to Tombstone! Got your balance there, Ma’am?” Nellie pulled her traveling skirt out from under her button-down shoe and noticed the man wore a silver star on his blue shirt. He took her grip from the driver and set it on the sidewalk. “My name’s Virgil Earp.” Next to him two other men attempted not to laugh. Virgil smiled, and indicated the other two with his hand. “May I present my brother, Wyatt, and Doc Holliday?” Earp, not a common name. These must be the Earps who had served as lawmen in Dodge City. She’d read newspaper articles and one of T.J.’s dime novels about Wyatt Earp. Doc Holliday stopped stamping his black boots to remove the dust, bowed at the waist and swept his bowler hat from his head. He smelled of leather and, what was that? Sage? “Indeed, welcome to Tombstone, lovely lady.” He drawled in a bass voice from under another wide black mustache. That made Nellie think of how Papa had always joked that men with mustaches were trying to hide something -- their upper lips.

This 2-year case study investigated looping practices and perceptions of looping among eighth-gra'de middle school students, teachers, and parents. Data from two middle schools were collected in the second year of looping through interviews with 12 students,4 teachers, and 11 parents; surveys of 214 students,9 teachers, and 75 parents; and videotapes of looping classrooms. Findings revealed that 80 percent of participants reported positive results from looping related to ease of transition into eighth grade, enhanced sense of knowing about the students' needs, better accountability, more sustained peer and teacher-student relationships, more effective curriculum planning, and enhanced parent involvement. Twenty percent of students and parents preferred having different teachers every year. Students believed they should have a choice about looping.(Ten appendices include interview and survey questions and a compilation of student survey responses. Contains 183 references.)

  • Todd Rundgren Information
    Todd Rundgren I have been a Todd Rundgren fan for over 40 years now. His music has helped me cope with many things in my life including having RSD and now having an amputation. I feel that Todd is one of the most talented musician, song writer and music producer that I have ever met in my life. If you have ever heard Todd's music or had an opportunity to see Todd in concert, you will know what I mean. Most people do not know who Todd Rundgren is. Most people say Todd who? Todd's best-known songs are "Can We Still Be Friends," "Hello, It's Me" "I Saw the Light," "Love is the Answer," and "Bang on the Drum All Day" (this is the song that you hear at every sporting event). Todd is also known for his work with his two bands Nazz and Utopia, while producing records for artists such as Meat Loaf, Hall and Oats, Grand Funk Railroad, Hiroshi Takano, Badfinger, XTC, and the New York Dolls.
