trucks all the time. The situation is even worse
with the winds in that area. I think until
something is done to require pickups to cover
open backs, the excess trash will be a continuous problem on the side of the roads. We are
the people who put it there and we need to act
responsibly. KATHR YN KELLER, SAUSALI TO
Fur Furor
I was shocked to get the most recent issue
(September 2013) in the mail and see the fur-
collared coat on the cover. Since when does
Marin County have a fur-wearing populace?
I realized when viewing it the first time that it
might be “fake fur” — which it was, as seen on

Your article about Marin County School
Volunteers (“Lending a Hand,” September
2013) captured the essence of the county wide
program. We match volunteer tutors with
teachers and students, in school and after
school. Everyone benefits — students, teachers and our volunteers; it is a joy to participate.
Although it was not an error, there is one statement that could use some clarification. Lynn
Moody of Ross and I cofounded the program in
1997 with the help of Superintendent of Schools
Mary Jane Burke; Tina Cheplick, then executive director of the Volunteer Center; and many
others. Joan Flood’s volunteer program at Bahia
Vista Elementary School was our model. So
many wonderful people have helped bring the
program to its present form — I cannot claim
exclusive credit. JOAN BROWNS TEIN, GREENBRAE
