Subsequent messages and alerts are based on impact estimation resulting from additional seismic analysis, water level measurements, tsunami forecast model results, and historical tsunami information. Messages are transmitted to the public through various means such as social media, Emergency Alert Systems, Alert Marin, and the National Weather Service’s weather radio.

Become a VOLUNTEER Driver for CARSS! Four hours per month can make an incredible difference in the lives of our older or disabled residents. CARSS Volunteer Drivers are requested to commit to drive one 4 hour shift (currently 10am-2pm) per month, although many volunteers opt to drive more. It does not have to be the same day each month - the Program Coordinator sends the calendar out two weeks before the beginning of the month and you choose your day. CARSS also has driving opportunities for Citywide events in the evening and weekends. These are primarily connected to the Library or other City or Civic events—such as the Library People Series last Fall.

How does it work for the Driver? The rides are called Door to Door because it is much like a pick up, drop off taxi service. Drivers are given a list of the requested rides prior to their shift but will also receive ‘same day requests’ during their shift. Riders must be ambulatory and able to get themselves in and out of the car although assistance with groceries is available. To be eligible to be a Volunteer Driver, you must have a valid license, pass a criminal and DMV background check, carry a minimal insurance policy on your car and participate in a 2 hour group training. It is very rewarding to help residents, especially those who can no longer Pedestrian Flag Program drive, stay connected to our community.

Volunteer monitors construct the bright orange flags that are in buckets at the following crosswalks: Second/Main Streets, Santa Rosa/Bridgeway Streets and Litho/Bridgeway Streets. The flags are a simple solution to act as an assistive device to help make walkers more noticeable as they cross the street. Of course, it is still important for pedestrians to cross with caution. Flag monitors volunteer to redistribute flags and replace any that are missing or damaged. If you would like to volunteer for this program, please contact Sausalito Village at 415-332-3325.

CARSS helps those under age 60 too CARSS (Call A Ride for Sausalito Seniors) provides FREE rides to residents of the City of Sausalito and the Floating Homes who are 60 or older, or younger with a disability. The hours of service are Monday through Friday between 10am and 2pm. Rides are provided by vetted and trained volunteers who are residents themselves - neighbors helping neighbors! This Spring one of the founding volunteer drivers of CARSS, Tricia Smith, fractured her hip in a bike accident and was unable to drive for one month. Just shy of 60 years old, Tricia was able to take advantage of CARSS rides on a temporary basis due to her temporary disability. If you are an adult under the age of 60 unable to drive due to a disability, but able to get in and out of the car without assistance, you can use CARSS too. If you would like to receive an application to become a CARSS Rider, contact the CARSS Program Coordinator at 415-944-5474 or email at [email protected].

The beautiful ferry Sausalito, launched in 1894, was retired from active duty in 1932. After the “walking-beam” engine and boilers were removed, she was rescued from further degradation by the Sportsmen Yacht Club in Antioch. She was towed into the marsh in Antioch where she was converted to a clubhouse, and lovingly maintained through the years. On a foggy night, November 30 1901, the Sausalito struck the San Rafael off of Alcatraz. Jack London may have witnessed the accident from a boarding house in Sausalito, or, since it was foggy, he probably got the details from the crew members; and he may have used the incident as an inspiration for the opening Chapters in his famous 1904 novel, The Sea Wolf. Amazon’s pitch for the book quotes Ambrose Bierce! But, I digress. Join the SHS on a field trip to Antioch this summer. You can learn more about the real “life or death” story from 1901. You can “experience” travel from the gilded age on into the railroad-ferry commute from Marin to San Francisco before the Golden Gate Bridge. What a great way to celebrate Sausalito’s 125th Birthday.

COMMUNITY PAGES 35 COMMUNITY PAGES Willow Creek Academy Willow Creek was created with a philosophy that inquiry-driven, Project Based Learning would provide its students an opportunity to participate in their education in meaningful ways. What is Project Based Learning? Is it that that students choose a subject, then research and present a report? Does it mean that the class works on a project as a whole? Does it mean that students form groups and divide tasks and put together a presentation to the class? Well, it could be any of the above. Project Based Learning is not really about a product or type of presentation; it’s about formulating and researching interdisciplinary questions that spark the imagination. One of our Third Grade teachers, Kevin Breakstone, recently led a professional development workshop about Project Based Learning. He explained that Project Based Learning is centered on a “Driving Question,” one that can’t be solved without thoughtfully structured research. Project Based Learning is a way for students to engage in authentic learning rather Sixth Grade with Ms. Rizzo: than merely summarizing information for a report.
