Through hard work and persistence, they were selected to enter the RAD Pre-Primary in Dance examination. Their progress was evaluated and they received great results and compliments by the international examiner. They demonstrated the required technical level and also showed knowledge of the syllabus vocabulary with great imagination and poise. Alya and Marina’s achievements will be rewarded with medals and Certificates bearing the Royal seal. The Royal Academy of Dance is the world’s leading dance education organization, and is based in London, England. The RAD programs, including ballet examinations, are fully accredited through the University of Surrey in England. The qualifications are also internationally recognized. The RAD dance program is conducted in the Sausalito Park and Recreation center. For more information, please call 289-4152. Parks & Recreation Commission John Lerner, Chair Joe Burns, Vice Chair Doreen Gounard Cindy Powers Melissa Mooney Sela Seleska Spring began slowly but picked up quickly as Parks and Recreation began to gather momentum for the summer season.

The Parks and Recreation Commission once again would like to thank the entire staff for their continued enthusiasm and hard work which ensures a successful summer season. Thank you, Mike Langford, Erin Stroud, Jeff Dybdal, Anita Wong and all temporary staff, summer interns and volunteers. Spring events were once again popular and well attended.

It will be Sausalito’s turn again this year to welcome our student guests and delegation from Sakaide from July 26 until August 5. The goal of the Sausalito-Sakaide student exchange visit is not only that of cultural expansion, but one which strives for strong educational activities that help expand the students’ knowledge base. In addition, the students are also exposed to a wide variety of exciting and entertaining events that take place in the Bay Area while they are here. We hope they’ll return home with a newfound joy and wonder at what they have learned, the friendships they have built and the experiences they have had. Essential to the strength and success of the Sister City exchange program are past, present and future participants, without whom these visits and the ongoing program would not be possible—local students from previous exchange programs who participate in these visits, contributing their knowledge and friendship to our guests; the local community with whom the students interact through civic and social events and who welcome students into their homes; and, the City of Sausalito with whom the Sister City continues to have a strong and supportive relationship—an integral part of the Sister City program since inception. The Sausalito Sister City program is run by the non-profit corporation, Sausalito Sister City Committee, Inc. Would you like to get involved? Here’s how . . . Host Families Sakaide students visiting in July 26–August 5 will stay with local host families for their 10-day stay. Anyone with a spare bedroom can be a host family, but having children is always a plus. Japanese language skills are NOT necessary! (The students will have some grasp of English.) The primary responsibility of a host family is transportation to and from Sausalito City Hall each day and dinners with the family most evenings. The rest is up to you. Your student will become a part of your family forever and you will always cherish the memory of this experience. To apply to become a host family, contact E.V. Gilbreath at 332-2282.

Battery Townsley at Fort Cronkhite was San Francisco’s most extensive—and most secret—World War II military fortification. From 1940 to 1948, it mounted two massive battleship guns and housed more than 100 soldiers in an extensive network of underground tunnels; during the Cold War, it was used as an underground research facility. Long closed to public access, Battery Townsley has been refurbished and the public is invited to visit and explore this labyrinthine fortification. Battery Townsley is reached via a moderately strenuous hike up the Coastal Trail approximately half-mile north of the Rodeo Beach parking lot. For further assistance to the site, call 331-1540.

The signs are a gentle reminder that Cathedral Grove is the park’s quiet refuge. The grove of mature trees, located further from the bustling parking lot and park entrance, has a history of reverence and quietude. Cathedral Grove is the site where in 1945 delegates to the first United Nations came to commemorate President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the chief architect of the U.N. Just minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and a major metropolitan area, the ancient forest is in sharp contrast to the busyness of the surrounding modern world. On a weekday; in winter or spring; early in the morning or late in the afternoon; not on a holiday; and just about any rainy day; visitors may enjoy a few moments of quiet in Muir Woods without intrusion from mechanical or human-made sounds. But, it’s becoming more challenging as the San Francisco Bay Area’s population of seven million people swells by the millions over the next 50 years. With fewer places to go without the sound of a blustery motorcycle or the rumbling airplane overhead or the constant drone of a nearby freeway, future generations will be hard-pressed to find a quiet place to listen to natural sounds for reasons of health, inspiration, and restoration. Not only does noise affect the human species, but the other species as well. Animals that depend on their sense of hearing for avoiding predators, finding mates or safe territories, finding food, and nurturing young, will be less fit to survive in urban areas. Muir Woods offers evening programs to experience the natural sounds of an old-growth forest on a safe and leisurely walk. Though the forest and weather are less dramatic in the summer than in the winter, visitors can listen to the watery music of Redwood Creek; enjoy the forest fragrance on a still evening; and the gentle soughing of the wind through the canopy of giant trees. Contrary to what is generally observed by first-timers to Muir Woods; the forest is not silent, but quiet. The National Park Service Natural Sounds and Night Sky Division funded the soundscape signs at Muir Woods. The natural soundscape project team includes Mia Monroe, Michael Faw, Gina Farr, Lou Sian, Tamara Williams, Karen Trevino, Erica Pilcher, and Bob Manning. The park is open every day at 8am, including holidays. It closes at 8pm in the summer. Lou Sian is a park ranger and media specialist at Muir Woods National Monument. Kitchens With a View . . . And Cooking,Too! A spectacular two-day event celebrating Food, Wine, Music, and the Art of “Cooking with a View” will be presented by the Sausalito Woman’s Club Preservation Society (a 501 c (3) non-profit organization) as a fundraising benefit in an on-going effort to maintain and protect the Club’s landmarked building designed by Julia Morgan, California’s first licensed woman architect. Friday night’s Cocktail Party at the Clubhouse, 120 Central Avenue, features stellar hors d’oeuvres, a no host bar, ‘live’ smooth jazz, along with a Culinary Silent Auction. Bid on fabulous, must-have kitchen gear, rare vintages, future dining experiences, and meet our celebrity cookbook author Diane Rossen Worthington, twice winner of the James Beard Award and syndicated food writer for the Chicago Tribune. On Saturday’s Tour, visit a series of unique, private Sausalito kitchens—grand and galley—all within view of the Bay that were designed for home chefs to whom good food, good wine, and good company are the key elements of memorable meals— not necessarily square footage. At any time along the walkable route, you can stop by the “Food and Wine Tasting/Talking Tent” located adjacent to one of the featured kitchens in a splendid garden. The Talking Tent will feature a rotating group of presenters and chefs including: Diane Worthington’s crostini varieties, live cooking demo by Chef Clare Molla, chef instructor for Williams Sonoma, Steve Yafa’s Food Pairing with Pinot Noir, Jason Fagan’s Backyard Bees, Chickens and Gray Water Sustainability, Alison Harris’ Integrating Organic Edible Plants in existing Landscapes, Shannon Baker will show us how to cook for a crowd and more! Also, at any time along the walk-able San Carlos Avenue route, ticketholders are invited to drop by the SWC for a delicious luncheon buffet & no host bar. A separate raffle for a sojourn in a celebrated food-and-wine destination will be selected at the conclusion of the festivities. Checks to reserve for the event should be made out to SWCPS by May 14 to Cindy Mason, 59 Woodward Ave or order online at www.brownpapertickets.com/226506. Cocktail Party: $25; Kitchen Tour: $35. Lunch: $15. Combined Friday & Saturday Events: $70.

However, in Sausalito’s setting it’s much tougher for trees to strive than in their native habitat and the lifespan of a tree in Sausalito can be much shorter. Some trees are planted in locations that do not suit their individual needs, can be damaged by large storms, or become diseased and decay or rot. Therefore, when trees become a threat to nearby persons or property they need to be removed. The City often receives calls from residents with concerns that tree cutting in their neighborhood could be illegal. The City’s regulations allow for permits to remove or alter trees located on public and private properties. The regulations vary depending if the tree is located in the public right-of-way or on private property. The removal or alteration of any tree located in the public right-of-way requires a permit reviewed and issued by the Department of Public Works. For private property trees, the permitting body is the City’s Trees and Views Committee. A Tree Removal or Alteration Permit is required for trees located on private property including: • California Live Oaks, measuring 12 inches or larger in circumference as measured at breast height; • Other varieties of trees measured 30 inches or larger in circumference as measured at breast height; and • Any tree dedicated by the City Council or Sausalito Woman’s Club. Yearly or routine pruning of private trees is not considered an Alteration and does not require a permit. There are also certain types of trees located on private property that are considered “undesirable” and may be removed or altered without a permit, including; Blue Gum Eucalyptus, Monterey Pine, Monterey Cypress, Coastal Redwood, Blackwood Acacia, Bailey Acacia and Green Wattle. Property Owners responsible for removing or altering trees without obtaining the required permit, have done so illegally and are subject to a citation. To report the illegal removal of trees please contact Assistant Planner, Alison Thornberry-Assef at 289-4131 during normal business hours. 8 Community Newsletter 415-289-4100 Memorial Bench Are you looking for a way to commemorate that special someone or special day? The City of Sausalito is blessed with many great benches to sit and look at the view and reminisce over fond memories. These benches can be dedicated to create that special place for you and your family. Benches are located in various City Parks and along pathways throughout the City. If you are interested in a Memorial Bench please contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 415-289-4152. Sausalito Village Sausalito Village, an idea whose time has come, arrived at our shores in October 2010 and has been growing exponentially ever since. One of many Villages which have sprung up across the United States in the past ten years, it is modeled on Boston’s Beacon Hill Village which launched in 2001 when a group of Beacon Hill residents, determined to remain in their homes as they aged, banded together to create the kinds of support systems they would need to accomplish their goal. If you are 60+ years of age and planning to stay in your home in Sausalito as you grow older, you might consider enjoying the benefits of membership in Sausalito Village. Under the auspices of its umbrella organization, Marin Village, the key element of membership is a single telephone number that you can call for referrals to service providers. Some services are provided by volunteers and others are available for a fee, often discounted, from thoroughly vetted third parties. Such services might include transportation to the Airporter, shopping, and doctors’ appointments; small household repairs; computer training and support; referrals to qualified health care workers; respite and support for caregivers. In addition to the service hotline, membership opens up the opportunity to become part of a vibrant community of people who share in many social, cultural, and recreational events. SV members have attended the Marin Symphony, the Fisher Exhibit of Photography in San Francisco, and a presentation at the studio of the late Sausalito artist, Walter Kuhlman. They also participate in classes in Yoga, flower arranging, and memoir writing. Our “neighbors helping neighbors” volunteer program invites you to participate in an active volunteer corps already making a difference in our community. Members of the steering committee are: Betsy Stroman, Chair, Charlie Arenson, Doris Berdahl, Lee Follett, Ann Heurlin, Felicity Kirsch, Jackie Kudler, Barb Lokkesmoe, Lois Prentice, Beverly Robbins, Rick Seymour, Sharon Seymour, Stella Shao, and Dana Whitson. For more information, you can visit our website at www.sausalitovillage.org, contact us by e-mail at sausalitovillage@gmail.com or call Betsy Stroman at 331-1464.

Sausalito Library Foundation FOUNDATION? FRIENDS? WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? The Sausalito Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library are independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with a common goal. Both are dedicated to helping the library’s able staff and the Library Board of Trustees maintain the excellence of one of our most valuable community resources. In fact, the Friends established the Foundation to provide long-term support, while they handled the immediate needs of the library, particularly when the City budget was unable to provide the necessary funds. The Sausalito Library Foundation, established in 2006, is sustained with financial contributions from the community. It supports the Library through special programs and projects and helps provide long-term financial stability. In its first three years, the Foundation funded the Library’s strategic plan and the Library’s Early Childhood Services program. In partnership with others, the Foundation also underwrote a computer lab and the digitization of the Sausalito News from 1895 to 1922. A Foundation grant in 2011 enabled the hiring of a library planning and interior design firm to look at our Library’s physical space, assess its ability to serve the community, and identify strategies to (1) effectively use the space we have and 2) recommend plans for the future. The Foundation will lend its support and match funds with the Library’s capital improvements fund to move ahead with a makeover using the Library’s current footprint. We will continue to explore possibilities for a larger space. Donations and bequests to the Foundation are used to maintain a revenue source that supplements public funding and helps ensure that our Library remains a current and relevant resource for our community in the years to come. Friends of the Sausalito Public Library, founded in 1961, provides financial support for short-term needs and furnishes volunteer assistance in the Library. Friends volunteers also manage the Friends Bookstore on the top floor of City Hall fourteen hours a week and put in extra hours receiving, sorting, and displaying used-book donations from the community. Revenue from the book sales provides the lion’s share of income for the Friends. With Bookstore profits and membership dues, the Friends have provided ongoing support to the library when needed. FOUNDATION INFORMATION For more information about the Library Foundation, call 331-3084 or write to 420 Litho Street, Sausalito 94965.

The strip gently lampooned the local scene. This exhibition encourages visitors to explore the hilarious strip, and to discover the man behind the humor. Exhibition sponsors include the Sausalito Art Festival Foundation, the Sausalito Lions Club, Supervisor Kate Sears and Historical Society members. The exhibition is open to the public through Labor Day at the Society’s newly renovated Exhibition Gallery on the second floor of Sausalito City Hall, at 420 Litho St.. SHS Board members Donald Sibbett and Susan Frank led a team of volunteers who planned and produced the exhibit, and who hosted an opening reception. Historical Society docents are conducting free monthly boat tours of the waterfront in partnership with Spaulding Wooden Boat Center. The 45-minute tours depart from Spaulding’s dock at the foot of Gate 5 Road between 11 AM and 3 PM. Space is limited. Call 332-3179 for more information. The SHS Annual Meeting was held at 7pm on Tuesday, May 8 in City Council chambers at 420 Litho Street. Members heard a report on last year’s activities and elected directors for the 2012-2013 term. Schools Program Under the leadership of SHS board members Susan Frank and Bob Woodrum, the Society continues to reach out to students from Bayside School and Willow Creek Academy. This spring, classroom presentations and field trips focused on noteworthy Sausalitans from 100 years ago. Each program involves approximately 40-50 students, over a dozen docents, numerous parents, school administrators and local businesses. The Historical Society contributes a weekly history column to the Marin Scope, and some of the most recent columns have been posted on our website: www.sausalitohistoricalsociety.com. The site also features links to other local historical organizations, and to the Sausalito News, which is searchable online from 1885-1923. Membership forms are available on the site, and dues can by paid via PayPal or credit card. Historical Society books may also be purchased on the site, and shipped anywhere in the country. Facilities With the help of memberships and an active docent program, the Society—a volunteer, non-profit organization—maintains the Phil Frank Research Room and Exhibit Room at 420 Litho Street. The Society’s mission is to collect and preserve art, artifacts, photographs and printed materials that document Sausalito’s history, and the public is invited to visit from 11 am to 1 pm each Wednesday and Saturday. We are continuing to upgrade the Society’s storage facilities, thanks to generous donations from SHS members. The Ice House at 780 Bridgeway carries books, greeting cards, videos, posters, and note cards with stunning photographs of Sausalito and particularly appealing shots of harbor seals and sea lions off our waterfront. The Ice House is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30am to 4pm. You can step back to a dramatic time in Sausalito history by touring the Marinship exhibit at the Bay Model . This display of photographs, paintings and actual artifacts from the WWII ships and yard was developed as a collaborative effort between the staff of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Bay Model Visitor Center and the Historical Society. Historic walking tours of the Marinship area are also offered. Check the schedule at http://www.spn.usace.army.mil/bmvc/ bmjourney/calendar/bi_monthly/front.html. The SHS also provides access to the collections for public and academic research; and presents outreach programs to inspire local interest in Sausalito’s history and to educate the visiting public and enrich the community.

This year we are proud to be sending our 28 graduates to a variety of secondary schools, both public and independent. This is a class that exemplifies so much of what we do here at Willow Creek. They are a group of thoughtful, problem-solving young people. I am looking forward to following them through the next years of the educational journey. With the end of school, comes lots of planning for the coming year. We will be adding a second third grade class. Welcoming a new teacher into our community is always exciting and teachers acquiring a grade level partner provides each of them with important support and allows for cross-class fertilization of ideas and projects. This year is the final year in which the Kellogg Foundation will be sponsoring our garden, nutrition and cooking projects. During the three years that we benefited from this grant, all of our classes received a minimum of four grade level appropriate nutrition classes, five cooking sessions with food raised in our garden and teacher support as to how to incorporate gardening with other core disciplines. For instance, a lesson on scrambling eggs produced from our three hens, turned into a math lesson about volume, measurement and fractions which the third graders gobbled up. We are working hard to raise the funds to maintain this most important program—our garden is definitely part of the heart of Willow Creek for both adults and students. We are turning our focus for the coming year on a new curriculum approach known as “common core standards.” We have always adhered to standards based curriculum (with the content coming from the State of California Department of Education) and now those standards are changing. There will be standards for each content area, but instead of covering a wide variety of content, students now will be going deeper into each concept that is covered. This will encourage the use of expository prose in areas such as science and social sciences and not limit literacy to those classes labeled as English language arts. As the 2012-13 school year progresses, we will be sharing how Willow Creek is adapting to this new set of curriculum standards. We believe that our emphasis on project based techniques and our signature standard of “learning inside and out” will be strengthened by using the common core approach. If you are interested in learning more about Willow Creek, please feel free to visit our website, www.willowcreekacademy.org or give us a call at 331-7530. We will be around all summer on a shortened schedule, so feel free to drop by. POLICE NEWS Citizen’s Police Academy Join Class 18 Once each year, the Sausalito Police Department puts on its very own Citizen’s Police Academy. This academy is designed to provide an inside look at how the department operates. Anyone who lives or works in the city of Sausalito is encouraged to participate. The classes focus on a variety of topics, such as: policing goals, use of force issues, drug recognition, DUI investigation, ethics, officer safety, laws of arrest and many other topics. Input and feedback is always sought from the class. Class participants are also given the opportunity to be involved in simulated crime scene investigations and shoot/don’t shoot scenarios. One of the classes is held at the Sausalito Fire Department and the format is a question and answer period about the services they provide, along with a tour of their building/equipment. The City Manager and the Chief of Police also spend time during a session going over different topics involving the city and public safety issues. All of the class participants are given the opportunity to go on two ride-a-longs, one with a night shift officer and the other with a day shift officer. Not only do the participants get an inside look at how the department operates, but it is also a great way to get to know the police officers on a more personal basis. The Police Department has gained some very dear friends through contacts made in the academy. Kaitee Jung wrote, “The Citizen’s Police Academy was highly engaging and informative where I learned a great deal about the Sausalito Police Department and the workings of law enforcement. I enjoyed the classes taught by the Sausalito Police Officers, the field trip to the command center and the company of fellow class members. I feel safe in the knowledge that the fine officers protecting our town are competent professionals who really care about the well-being of Sausalito and its citizens.” Janis Callon stated, “I was impressed by the compassion and dedication all of the officers bring to their job every day. Due to the economics of today, the officers are stretched and pushed to maximize every minute of the day.” Janis is a business owner and Sausalito resident who has also recently joined the VIPS (Volunteers in Public Safety) team. Karin Williams, a longtime Sausalito resident, participated in the academy class and is now a very active member of the VIPS. She states, “The Sausalito Citizen’s Police Academy provides the opportunity to see first-hand the intensity and dedication which our police officers apply on our behalf, every hour, every day. To have a glimpse into their high-intensity, very demanding world for even a few weeks time was awesome and inspiring, and truly a privilege.” Here is what John Reed shared about his recent experience in Class 17: “It was a real eye opener. The experience of a ‘ride-along’ with an officer on an actual patrol further convinced me that we are in good hands. Every citizen of Sausalito should be proud of our police department, and their ability and dedication to keeping our City a safe place to live. I encourage anyone with an interest in how we are protected each day and night by our police officers to take this course.” The academy runs for eight consecutive Wednesdays from 7pm until 9:30pm. The class is open to people who live or work in Sausalito. Summer of 2012 is the tentative start date. Anyone who is interested in attending Class 18 of the Sausalito Citizen’s Police Academy should contact Sergeant Stacie Gregory at 289-4188 or sgregory@ ci.sausalito.ca.us.

Grandparents, Nannies, Caretakers and Aunties welcome too. This sacred and ancient art form is profound, irreverent and playful.

It creates a beautiful tone, shape and strength for all those key areas: core abdominals (tummy), thighs, hips, pelvic floor, buttocks, lower back. It enhances your body self esteem as you learn all women are goddesses, no matter what age or shape they are. Babies love the movements to help with colic, calming and going to sleep. They are fascinated by all the sparkles and jingles of the coins. According to one satisfied mom, “It is the only thing that I can do for me that entertains both my children—my baby watches and my toddler copies me.” Please bring your baby carrier/sling, a yoga/ exercise mat if you have one and wear stretchy pants and a scarf of some sort for your hips. For brand new moms, please get permission from your health provider before participating, generally once your babe is six weeks old, you can resume exercise. No prior dancing experience is necessary.
