For additional information on the events listed above, please visit www.sausalito.org or call the Sausalito Chamber at 331-7262 extension 10. Sausalito Chamber Purchases Office Building Late last year, the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce realized a longterm goal and purchased a property located at 1913 Bridgeway. In addition to providing office space for the Chamber of Commerce, part of the three-story, multi-use building will be leased to generate additional revenue for the Chamber. The chamber had been considering investing in real estate for the past few years as a way to secure the organization’s ongoing financial sustainability. “The question of whether to ‘rent or buy’ is similar for the chamber as for other entities and individuals. In this case, because of the finite term of our contract with the Sausalito Art Festival and the availability of a suitable building at an attractive price, we have determined that the best way for the Chamber to protect its economic future is through this purchase, ” said Chamber Treasurer Joe Lemon. When the chamber sold the rights to the Sausalito Art Festival, they negotiated an agreement whereby the new event organizers (The Sausalito Art Festival Foundation) make 13 annual “royalty” payments of $100,000 to the Chamber. In order to preserve this asset, and in anticipation of these payments expiring in 2020, the chamber has been actively looking at ways to maximize use of these monies as well as supplement this funding source. “While we are continuing to look at ways to reduce expenses and develop new revenue sources, this transaction is a big step towards addressing the Chamber’s long-term financial viability,” said Chamber CEO, Oonagh Kavanagh. She also noted that the new location on Bridgeway will provide far greater visibility and better access for visitors. The Chamber Board of Directors believes that this investment in real property in Sausalito is consistent with the organization’s mission to invest in the community. The Chamber completed their move to the new space in December last year. The new address is 1913 Bridgeway; the phone number remains the same 331-7262.

These satiric masterpieces, penned by Phil Frank under the name Fritz Crackers, will be displayed along with the news stories that inspired them, as well as a few surprises. Mark your calendars for the opening reception scheduled for March 31, 2012. Member invitations will be sent in February. Congratulations to long-time Society member Doris Berdahl, who manages the Ice House visitors center and historic exhibit downtown. Doris won the Frank Papouschek Community Service Award from the Chamber of Commerce last fall. The Historical Society has been pleased to participate in the revitalization of Sausalito’s sister city relationship with Viña del Mar, Chile. In July, we helped welcome Viña del Mar’s Mayor Reginato on her first visit to Sausalito. Mayor Wiener took copies of the Society’s historical books on his visit to Chile in December. An article and timetable tracing the history of Sausalito’s relationship with Viña del Mar can be viewed at www.sausalitohistoricalsociety.com/marinscope-columns. Last November, architectural historian Laura Ackley discussed the people of San Francisco’s 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition—the world’s fair that gave Sausalito those distinctive elephants in Viña del Mar Plaza. This fundraising event packed Wellington’s Wine Bar. Over the holidays, lutenist Eric Kjorlien played music of the Renaissance courts, churches and castles at the Society’s Ice House. This holiday treat was free to the public. In January, SHS docent Steefenie Wicks, a founding member and resident photographer for the Galilee Harbor Community, shared her images and spoke about the history of the association in Sausalito Council Chambers. 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. Third graders learned about and visited some of Sausalito’s historic buildings in November. This spring, classroom presentations and field trips will focus on noteworthy Sausalitans from 100 years ago, and on the historic Marinship area. 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 MarinScope, 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. Facilities With the help of memberships and an active docent program, the Sausalito Historical 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.

Students are deep into a variety of assorted projects. Third graders are practicing their Noh drumming in anticipation of performing at the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival in April and 6th through 8th graders are engrossed in absorbing the Adobe Youth Voices curricula. Other classes are preparing for concerts and dramatic productions in order to share their learning with audiences beyond their classrooms. Both of the programs mentioned above, are the result of partnerships Willow Creek has created with other non-profit organizations. The Noh Drumming Class is supported and organized by NPO infusion, a local organization whose mission is to share traditional Japanese culture. On the NPO website, there is a statement “If only we understood each other, just one little bit more than now, we could perhaps pass on the light of friendship to achieve peace. In 1995, we founded the NPO Infusion on such an aspiration.” Our 3rd graders have been the local beneficiaries of a traditional drumming program. What is exciting about the program this year, is the fact that since our students have been learning about African drumming in their regular music program, the acquisition of the skills needed for the tsuzumi drums, came very naturally to them. As a result, these young musicians realized that drumming is a universal way of making music, not limited to just one culture. The Adobe Youth Voices program was made possible by a generous grant from the Sausalito Arts Festival Foundation. The Adobe Foundation created this initiative to assist youth in acquiring media literacy. For young people to have a comfortable relationship using media allows them to formulate media project ideas and themes, plan their production, review their work (as well as the work of others) and share their work with others in hopes of spurring positive change. The Arts Festival grant is providing a teacher to work with our 6th through 8th graders in mastering four specific aspects of media: writing, music, animation and video. What is striking about both of these projects, is their alignment with the statement in the Willow Creek Charter document to “develop world citizens who can thoughtfully and carefully develop responses to a variety of situations…” Whether it be exploring traditional Japanese culture or reaching out using the most recent technology, our students are fortunate to have these experiences in their formative, elementary school years. It is our hope that they will be able to pass on that “light of friendship”. If you wish to learn more about our programs, please feel free to check our website, www.willowcreekacademy.org or call our office at 331-7530. Community Newsletter 415-289-4100 15 POLICE NEWS Why Did My Vehicle Get Towed Residents of Sausalito may have noticed the new CERT* trailer that by the Sausalito Police Department? is parked behind the Sausalito Fire Building on Johnson Street. The Part Two The CERT Trailer has Arrived in Sausalito Southern Marin Fire District, under Paramedic and Firefighter Larry Yoell’s direction, bought and stocked the trailer with safety equipment such as a generator, water, first aid supplies, blankets, cribbing tools, radios, flashlights, walkie-talkies and more. Also, Sausalitians trained in CERT response have taken trailer safety, hook up and driving lessons last fall. CERT members can now tow the trailer to the scene of an incident to aid the public or respond to provide mutual aid to other Fire districts, as requested. “The CERT trailer is an excellent resource to have in place, as well as a visible reminder that we all need to put together our own stocks of supplies in a safe container,” a local resident said. The money used to buy the trailer and supplies came from the nonprofit Friends of Southern Marin CERT 501c3, and no public monies were used to purchase any of the equipment. Save the date! The popular annual CERT and Fire Department fundraiser “Fire & ICE Ball” is coming on September 15, 2012. There is a distinct difference between a vehicle that has been towed/ stored versus a vehicle that has been towed/impounded. As we previously talked about in Part One (in the September issue of Sausalito Magazine) a vehicle that has been towed/stored may be immediately released without conditions. A vehicle that has been towed/impounded can be released as soon as the registered owner has complied with correcting the reasons the vehicle was towed/impounded. This article will talk about vehicles that have been towed/30 day impound. *CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team and CERT trains the public on readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and first aid and CPR among other skills. Several CERT teams are now active in Sausalito and Southern Marin and are ready to respond to an incident. If you are interested in CERT training and would like to sign up for classes, follow this link: http://www.marincountycert.org/. California Vehicle Code Sections 14602.6 and 14607.6 authorizes law enforcement agencies to tow and impound vehicles for 30 days when driven by unlicensed, suspended, or revoked drivers. There is also the possibility that the vehicle could be forfeited (taken from you) if you have a prior conviction for driving while unlicensed, or with a suspended or revoked license. In April 2011, the Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld these laws as being in the best interests of public safety. However, in October 2011, Governor Brown signed a new law that modified the impounding of vehicles driven by unlicensed drivers at DUI checkpoints. BACKGROUND The three most common reasons why a vehicle may be towed/30 day impounded: • Driving with a suspended license • Driving with a revoked license, • Driving unlicensed It was a minor infraction… why was my car impounded? Your car is being impounded because you have committed a misdemeanor, not an infraction. By operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license you have committed a serious offense. How long will my vehicle be impounded? The vehicle will be impounded for 30 calendar days. How do I get my car released? At the end of 30 days, go to the Sausalito Police Department where you will be given a release after paying an administrative fee of $125 (cash or credit card only). After presenting the release to the tow company and paying the tow and storage fees, your vehicle will be released to you. Can I get my car released before the 30 days is up? The vehicle may be released prior to the end of the 30-day period when the driver reinstates his or her driver’s license or acquires a driver’s license and proper insurance. It is also possible to obtain an early release of an impounded vehicle if the registered owner is able to 16 Community Newsletter 415-289-4100 POLICE NEWS provide an explanation with mitigating circumstances to the hearing officer. What if I don’t agree with the reason the officer towed/30 day impounded my car? Under the provisions of Vehicle Code Section 22852, you may request a hearing to determine the validity of the storage of your vehicle. You must make the request to the Sausalito Police Department within 10 days of the initial tow date. The request must be in person, writing or by telephone. not a valid excuse. Ask yourself “How did this happen?” Have you allowed him/her to use your car before? Did you ask to see his/her license? Any vehicle impounded for this violation will be released to the registered owner after 30 days. NOTE: If it is determined your car was taken by an unlicensed driver without your knowledge or permission then a stolen vehicle report must be filed. The person charged with this crime will be arrested. Did you know?
