Tiburon Police Corporal Bob Rossi and officer Mike Slobodnik, along with several people who had seen the accident and stopped to help, tried to pry a door open so that McConnell could escape, but they were unsuccessful. Tiburon Fire/Rescue arrived on the scene within minutes and began work to release the trapped 'driver.

Human Resource Development& Psychology University of Hawaii, Oahu HI - 18 Units toward Masters Degree, Human Relations University of Minnesota; St. Paul, MN REFERENCESS Available upon request ESSAY Natasha Nichols Where I live, I am surrounded by water, nature, homes and people. Near the water there is a bike path where I ride my bike. The best time to ride is on a warm summer night as the sun is going down. I take my bike from the shed and ride it to the bottom of my hill, and cross the street, and I am on the bike path. There is a warm breeze and the air smells like eucalyptus trees and the bay. I ride my bike to my favorite part of the path where the last rays of the sun are faintly shining on the water, in the distance I can see Mt. Tamalpais (a beautiful mountain that is shaped like a sleeping lady when seen from a distance) and the lights from Sausalito across the bay. As I ride mybike I don't stop to look at the images but I continue to ride at a quick pace to the beginning of the path where I stop then turn around to start home. I ride home and gain as much speed to keep a fast steady pace. I can keep my momentum because the path is flat and the breeze is pushing on my back. I head home feeling exhilarated and walk my bike up the hill. I can not ride my bike up the hill because the gears became rusted from staying outside in the shed year round. Sometimes I wish I could ride farther than just on the path; I often wish I could ride on ML Tamalpais, but my bike is not made for that type of terrain . The summer before my sophomore year, when I got my first job I saved enough money to buy a new bike. I bought an inexpensive mountain bike from Woolworth; the bike looked nice because it had ten working gears and the colors were simply black and gray unlike my old no gear tire engine red bike. 1 was excited to buy the bike with my own money because i received no help from my mother to make the purchase. I never road tested the bike before I bought it and the ride home was not fun. My new mountain bike did not perform as I expected it to. The handlebars were too low (and could not be adjusted), and when I shifted the gears, the transition was loud and annoying as if the chains were going to break. I continued home, not sure if I had made a wise purchase. I had the bike for a while, rode it five or six times, but the ride was very uncomfortable due to the awkward placement of the handle bars and the noise from the clanking chains: I had had enough. I returned the bike to Woolworth's with the receipt, and I was gladly given my money back (which I deposited into my saving's account). I rode the bus home from Woolworth's and when I returned home I rode my old fire engine red ten speed with non -working gears. I was content because I realized that my bike fits me comfortably and although it has no gears, I enjoy riding it. Although my first experience with my first purchase of a bike did not turn out well I still plan to purchase a new bike, someday soon. However, the next time I am going to get a quality mountain bike that fits me perfectly and that I have road tested. When in my pursuit to buy a new bike I neglected the fact that when making a major purchase one must research the product he or she intends to buy. I learned the hard way, through not enough patience and research, that I bought something that was not of good quality. Through this experience I have also Learned to be a savvy well educated consumer who appreciates the value of things. Q U 0 a) .� N 0 C 0 .� a1 C.

Curran Town Manager Caltrans, to review the existing intersection referenced above for opportunities to enhance traffic and pedestrian safety. Enclosed is their petition for your attention. The Town acknowledges their concerns, and would like to express our support in having Caltrans conduct a review and, if warranted, implement any additional safety measures to enhance existing conditions. The intersection serves relatively heavy traffic patterns during school drop-off and pick-up hours, a regional public transit stop, as well as elderly and school age pedestrians. We recognize that Caltrans has many competing needs and a limited budget. However, any attention to enhancing this intersection is most appreciated and, we believe, money well spent for community safety. If you would Like to discuss this matter, please feel free to contact me at 415-435-7388. l Sincerely, Nicholas T. Nguyen, P.E.

As the result we are proposing the hybrid pedestrian beacons as a proactive safety measure. This work qualifies as a minor improvement; however, since the funding for Minor program is currently very limited, we are looking to combine this location with several other pedestrian safety improvement proposals in Marin and Sonoma counties into a single major project for "'higher funding pnonty.. Currently, we hope this project can be programmed for construction in 2018-2019 fiscal year. Sincerely, --7) 121 4 PHILLIPE H.

MINUTES: Consider adoption of minutes of meeting of September 15, 2016 ADJOURNMENT Design Review Board Agenda October 6, 2016 Page 2 Friday Memo for October 2016 PlegKA am, ) sT How many straws did you use today? Last month, Wylie Cassinelli, a Drake High School student and San Anselmo Quality of Life Commissioner, gave a presentation to the Marin Climate and Energy Partnership (MCEP) about her work to reduce plastic straw use in local restaurants. About 500 million plastic straws are used and disposed of daily in the U.S., and straws are among the top 10 marine debris items. Bio - plastic straws are not a suitable alternative because some waste facilities cannot recycle them. Wylie said that she and other Drake High students approached local restaurants and asked them to stop using plastic straws or to only serve straws upon request. They got several pledges, but only one followed through on the pledge. The group advocates switching to paper straws, but it's a hard sell because paper straws, while only costing 1 cent more than plastic straws, are double the price of plastic straws. However, there are practical, cost-cutting alternatives, like only offering paper straws on request. MARIN CLIMATE & ENERGY PARTNERSHIP MCEP is a partnership of all eleven cities and towns in Marin County, plus the County of Marin, the Transportation Authority of Marin, MCE, and the Marin Municipal Water District. MCEP's mission is to track greenhouse gas emissions and implement member jurisdictions' climate action plans.

Walking Poles 7 Meeting Schedule 8 ebe Editor Amy Dietz, MPH Editorial Board Marge Belknap, M.D. Allan Bortel Jim Monson Sylvia Landman Published By Marin County Area Agency on Aging Lee Pullen, Director Aging Well: Justice, Dignity, and Beauty By Carol Hovis When I consider the reasons aging well is paramount to a healthy society, three words come to mind: justice, dignity, and beauty. As we grow older, we become cognizant that aging is a significant cause that requires a strong commitment to justice and compassion. When I reflect on my own life, I realize that the first justice issue of which I was conscious was the issue of age. As a child, I heard some adults say "children should be seen and not heard" and I observed a general lack of appreciation by many adults for the unique gifts and value of children and young people. Thus was my first indignity of prejudice. Fast forward 45 years, and now I see and witness how our culture "sees" and often treats people as they grow old. All of us were young once and can recall our individual feelings of being discounted because of our youth. And all of us are growing older each day and share the human bond regarding the inevitability of our demise. Therefore, when we talk about aging, justice and compassion (Buddhism teaches that compassion is an important lens to talk about justice) seem essential to meaningful relationships within our families, within our communities, and within society as a whole. A second word that comes to mind is dignity. This word comes from the Latin root meaning "worth." Interconnected with justice and compassion is the belief that all people deserve to be treated as worthy of respect and love. Finally, the third word that comes to mind is beauty. Because our culture equates beauty with youthfulness, it feels so important that we reclaim the essence, the real meaning of beauty, as we talk about aging. To that end, I share with you a reading from the book, Anam Cara, by John O'Donohue: "Modern society is based on an ideology of strength and image. Consequently, old people are often sidelined. In former times, old people were seen as those who had the greatest wisdom. There was always reverence and respect for the elders. Old people still have the fires of longing burning brightly and beautifully within their hearts. Real beauty is a light that comes from the soul. Sometimes in an old face, you see that light coming from behind the lines; it is a vision of the most poignant beauty." I leave with you these three words: justice, dignity, and beauty when we consider our own aging bodies and those with whom we live, work, and serve. The Reverend Carat Hovis is the former Execntiie Director of the Marin lnte faith Council Message from the Commission Chair By Teri Dowling I hope you enjoyed your summer and are ready for the beautiful Fall weather in Marin. Fall is my favorite time of year. It brings back childhood memories of walking on back country roads with my parents and sisters in up- state New York, our pockets full of red delicious apples, the air crisp and the maple trees covered with bright red leaves. Now that California is my home, I still love walks during this season with my family and friends, our pockets full of gravenstein apples, along paths of oaks and redwood trees (in a far more temperate climate). This Fall there are many exciting events happening in Marin. Be sure to check out the Marin Senior Information Fair on October 26 (see page 4) and come visit us at the Commission on Aging booth. Hopefully, most of you know by now that the Marin Commission on Aging holds a public meeting the first Thursday of every month (except for the month of August) at different locations throughout the County. The public is most welcomed and encouraged to attend. These meetings always start at 10 am and, for the first hour, there is a guest speaker(s) who presents on a topic of interest and of importance to older adults in Marin County. From 11 am - 12:30 pm there is a formal Commission on Aging meeting, where the public has an opportunity to make comments and learn more about the work of the Commission on Aging and the County of Marin's Office of Aging and Adult Services. Take a look at the last page of this issue for the topics and locations of meetings for September - December and make a commitment to bring yourself and a friend to at least one of these meetings. I look forward to seeing you there. Meet Marilyn Maddalena Withrow By Sylvia Landman What does a vibrant, beautiful senior citizen do when she finds herself living in a residence home because she can no longer drive? Marilyn busies herself appraising quilts for others. She continues to write, sharing her quilting expertise, which she began in 1958, as a professional quitter, instructor, judge and appraiser throughout the United States. "I never thought that my love for quilting would take me from my family's Iowa farm to South Africa, South and Central America, the British Virgin Islands, Russia, Florida, New York City and back to a cattle ranch with my husband in Oklahoma," she relates. Losing an eye five years ago slowed but did not stop her. "If I need to see things in detail, I close my blind eye to study with my good eye, which has 20/20 vision," she explains. To make the best of her life, she continues to make quilts, write, teach, and appraise quilts. One client has had Marilyn appraise every quilt she has made for 25 years and says, "Marilyn sees things in quilts that other judges and appraisers miss. She sees more with one eye than most others do with two," she explains. "Her educated, experienced fingers tell her all she needs to know about a quilt." Quilters wanting Marilyn's advice either bring their quilts to her new home at her Senior Living Residence Home or mail them to her. When quilters exhibit quilts in a nearby show, Marilyn travels to appraise them there. She also studies good, close-up quilt photos to appraise from a distance. There is no stopping Marilyn.

Note your medicine names, doctors' names, doses, side effects, and other important information. Include all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Take it with you to every doctor visit, and be sure to update it whenever your medicines change. Make sure family members have copies in case of an emergency. • Know what to do if you miss a dose. Talk to your doctor about each medicine you take. What you do about a missed dose could be different for each medicine. • Certain medications taken together or combined with alcohol can have serious side effects. Read labels carefully and follow your doctor's advice. Have a Routine • Make a schedule for taking your medicines, and follow it every day. If you have a hard time remembering when you took a dose, keep a notepad with your medications, and write down what time you took each dose. • Set your watch alarm or a kitchen timer to remind you when to take your medicines. Or ask a family member to help you remember to take your medicines. Keep All Medications Out of Reach of Children and Pets • The best way to ensure your medications don't end up in the wrong hands is to store them in a locked drawer or cabinet. Pick up any dropped pills immediately.

If so, you are just the kind of person who joins AgeSong Marin. We all know that life at this stage can be challenging with respect to health, loss, and family. The shared wisdom and humor that arises in an AgeSong group provides support and understanding to its members. Over the past decade more than 500 Marin seniors have participated in AgeSong Marin. One of our participants explained it like this, "AgeSong touches my heart; I feel heard and understood with a sense of belonging to a `tribe.' We laugh frequently and make new connections. This is one of the few places where I can talk about what's important to me." Men and women 65 and older meet together in small groups to share their stories, concerns, wishes, and plans. Each group consists of 6-8 participants and two trained volunteer facilitators that meet once a week for 8 weeks. AgeSong Marin is a place to talk, listen, laugh, and learn. Confidentiality is respected. Prior to each meeting, the facilitators provide reading material that focuses and stimulates the discussion and encourages personal reflection. The groups meet at the Family Service Agency in Terra Linda, Mill Valley Community Center, and Margaret Todd Senior Center (Novato). There is an $80 administrative fee paid to Family Service Agency. Scholarships are available. For further information visit www.agesongmarin.org or call 415-491-5726. Ann Co„ey,PhD is the cofounder of AgeSong Marin. Older .Americans Act Reauthorization By James Monson After the White House Conference on Aging in 2015, President Obama pledged to work with Congress to reauthorize the Older Americans Act (OAA) to pro- vide critical support to families and communities. This work culminated with the President's signing of Senate Bill 192 in April, 2016. The new OAA contin- ues and strengthens vital programs for older Ameri- cans through 2019. The Bill provides $2 billion to fund home and community based services, elder jus- tice, information and referral networks, employment services, Native American grants, and other activities. Streamlining and improving program administration are key elements of the new legislation. Data analysis and evaluation will aid development of best practices for programs like disease prevention, fall prevention, and chronic condition management. The structure for implementing OAA programs is throughstate agencies on aging to local area agencies on aging (AAA). Most of California's AAAs are orga- nized by county, and Marin County is one of these. Marin County Aging and Adult Services acts as the AAA under the Department of Human Services and Board of Supervisors. The Marin County Commission on Aging is a citizens' advisory council to the Board of Supervisors and works closely with the AAA. Last spring, the AAA completed an Area Plan for years 2016-2020 to guide program development and resource allocation to services under the OAA. It can be found ar. www.livelonglivewellmarin.org. Marin County receives about $1 million of OAA fund- ing to support programs for older residents of Marin County. These vital programs include: • Home and Community Based Services Nutritional assis- tance, both congregate and home delivered meals, caregiver support with respite, education, training and counseling; support services, including trans- portation, legal aid, case management; disease pre- vention and health promotion. • Elder Justice Long-term care ombudsman program to assist elders in nursing homes and assisted living residences. Responders to elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. • Information, Assistance, and Referral Both national and local websites and call centers to identify and con- nect older adults and caregivers to community re- sources.

Sean Stephens, an Army Veteran, has been the Marin County Veterans Services' Officer for the past six years. "Some people with an honorable discharge do not think they are a veteran because they only served for two years, did not serve in combat, or were not injured in the service. Women and people who served honorably in the National Guard and Reserves are often unsure of their status." Eligibility for Veterans Administration (VA) benefits entails various opportunities and entitlements. These include VA health care, disability compensation due to injuries sustained while on active duty or not, free burial in a national cemetery with an honor guard, and college fee waivers for children. "When vets call, I figure out what's going on with them right now and how and if I can relate it to their military service. An example: a vet served during time of war but never saw combat. She's having financial issues because of increased medical expenses and she may be eligible for help with reimbursement through the VA." Under federal law, a veteran is any person who served honorably on active duty in the armed forces of the United States. Discharges marked "General and under honorable conditions" also qualify. Other qualifying events include: persons who served in the active military, naval, or air service of the United States and were discharged due to a service - connected disability or who filed a claim for a service -connected disability sustained while in the service. For example, a person could go into the service and injure themselves while in basic training and receive a service -connected disability rating from the Veterans Administration. They would be considered a veteran regardless of how long they served. Members of the National Guard and Reserves may be considered veterans if they were deployed under title 5 10 (Federal Orders) and complete that deployment and are issued a DD - 214 (discharge) under honorable I conditions. Veterans should never take it for granted that their discharge, if not honorable, would preclude them from VA . "The wise thing to do is to apply, unless the character is bad conduct or dishonorable," Sean says. "There is also a process to apply to have the discharge upgraded. Our office can work with you." ;4; I. Mort Taller, Former Marin County Veterans Service Officer Upon hearing about the Marin County VA Office, Novato resident and Great Age columnist Sylvia Landman referred her "... eighty-five year old friend, John, (who) did not know he qualified as a veteran. He served in the Navy for three years during the Korean Conflict but since he had not been wounded, he never requested nor received benefits. I suggested that he contact Sean Stephens for a brief meeting. In only a few weeks he returned to visit to proudly show me his brand new Veteran's ID card together with an appointment card for his first medical visit to San Francisco's Veteran's Medical Clinic at Fort Miley. Sean, thank you for helping John, a worthy person who spends all his time helping others in Novato." If you are in doubt and have served in uniform, please call Marin County Veteran's Services at 415- 473-6193. Veterans Day is November 11. If you know a Veteran, thank them for their service.

The greatest risk for a fall is having had a previous fall. There are many reasons people fall, including the type and amount of medications taken, poor vision, poor hearing, being frail, and having a cluttered home. But there is a significant role for using nutrition to reduce your risk of falling. What are the nutritional issues related to falling? Overall good nutrition is important. But there are four key nutritional practices on which you can focus to reduce your risk for falling. These are: • Drink enough fluids; • Get enough protein; • Take in enough Vitamin D; • Get enough calcium. Why is water important to reduce my risk of falling? Medications for high blood pressure are commonly prescribed by doctors. Did you know that diuretics, or "water pills', can lead to dehydration? Although it may sound counter -intuitive, if you are taking a diuretic, it is particularly important to monitor you fluid intake. Symptoms of dehydration include dizziness and feeling woozy when you go from sitting to standing. This can cause you to fall. Some medications can also cause dehydration. Even though it is common to hear that you should get 6-8 glasses a day, your needs are very individual. Whether or not the weather is hot, how much exercise you get, and medications you take will impact your fluid needs. The key to knowing if you are drinking enough fluids is to self - monitor your urine output. Although most older adults are taking medications and/or vitamins that will color the urine, there should be tunes in the day when your urine is clear and has no smell. Are you urinating at least 6 times in 24 -hours? You should be. Juice, teas, soups, coffee, and even juicy fruits count as part of your fluid intake. Why is protein important to reduce the risk of falling? You cannot maintain or build muscle without protein. In order to keep from getting frail, you will need to get enough protein. Unfortunately, many older adults are eating less protein as they get older. You need MORE protein than you did when you were younger—about 20% more. Don't eat a meal without a good protein source, either meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts or beans. Dairy products also have quality protein. 6 Calcium and Vitamin D are important to reduce the risk of falling? Vitamin D and calcium are key to reducing the risk of osteoporosis, or bone loss. While this may not prevent a fall, it may prevent a broken bone. Do you eat dairy products a couple of times a day? Do you go out into the sun? Contact your nutritionist and get your blood levels checked by your health care provider to make sure your levels are optimal.

Walking Poles: Personal Experience by Allan Borrel In "marvey" Marin it seems that every senior has discovered walking, the one exercise that takes the least effort and does not require a gym membership. In fact, exercise such as walking is the one activity that most researchers accept for deferring dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. At the Marin Senior Information Fair in 2013 my wife, Sydne, discovered an exhibit promoting the use of walking/hiking poles. She purchased a pair of poles, had them sized and signed up for a half-day course. The next year she bought me a pair—and I was wise to also do the half-day course. I had seen Europeans hiking in the Sierra some 20 years ago using, what I thought, were ski poles...in the middle of the summer! But little did I suspect that I'd ever be caught dead using poles to hike the flat Old Rail Trail, usually called the "bike path," a former railroad right-of-way deeded to my home town of Tiburon some 45 years ago. So, what do poles do for me? For one, I believe that they take pressure off hips and knees, two parts of the body that often suffer with, of all things, aging. Both joints as well as the spine are helped with poles by reducing weight-bearing. As someone who has always had some problems with balance (broken hip at age 42 stumbling on a curb) the use of poles keeps me upright and reduces the risk of falling. The use of poles, however, takes some training and practice. Here are a few tips: • Optimal pole length: take a look at the accompanying photo and notice how the poles are no higher than the topof the hips. Thus, as you push gently from behind, you swing your arms as if you were walking without poles. • Use them often to get yourself and others (who might believe you have a serious disability) used to them. In fact, people will make way for you and give you some extra attention in a store or give up their seat on a public vehicle, a tongue in cheek side benefit! 7 • Try poles instead of a cane. The latter gives you an uneven gait, but poles provide a more natural fluid way of walking for cane users. Also, canes may require you to bend over and can change your spinal alignment. Poles allow you to stand up straight and still feel comfortable walking. Check out the website www.polesformobility.com for more information about classes, which I highly recommend to get the most out of this new experience.
