According to the most recent U.S. Census data, a huge majority — as in 72 percent — of people who live in Marin County identify their race as white. And that doesn’t include Hispanic/Latino folks who also identify as white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For comparison,\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Alameda County is 33 percent white and 29 percent Asian. Asians make up just 6 percent of people in Marin County.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But look back at Marin County’s history and you’ll find that it wasn’t always that way. In fact, its demographic history is not too far off from the rest of the Bay Area’s. Archives at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinlibrary.org/californiaroom/\">Anne T. Kent California Room\u003c/a> show that what is now Marin County was once almost completely occupied by tribes of the Coast Miwok Indians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1817, the Spanish established Mission San Rafael Arcangel in what is now the city of San Rafael. Between 1834-1846, significant portions of Marin were owned by people of Spanish and Mexican descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, there was a huge influx of African-Americans who came to work in the shipyards during World War II, though it wasn’t enough to change the demographics significantly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what explains the county’s demographics as they look today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A common guess is that it has to do with the lack of public transportation options in Marin County.

According to the most recent U.S. Census data, a huge majority — as in 72 percent — of people who live in Marin County identify their race as white. And that doesn’t include Hispanic/Latino folks who also identify as white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For comparison,\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Alameda County is 33 percent white and 29 percent Asian. Asians make up just 6 percent of people in Marin County.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But look back at Marin County’s history and you’ll find that it wasn’t always that way. In fact, its demographic history is not too far off from the rest of the Bay Area’s. Archives at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinlibrary.org/californiaroom/\">Anne T. Kent California Room\u003c/a> show that what is now Marin County was once almost completely occupied by tribes of the Coast Miwok Indians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1817, the Spanish established Mission San Rafael Arcangel in what is now the city of San Rafael. Between 1834-1846, significant portions of Marin were owned by people of Spanish and Mexican descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, there was a huge influx of African-Americans who came to work in the shipyards during World War II, though it wasn’t enough to change the demographics significantly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what explains the county’s demographics as they look today?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A common guess is that it has to do with the lack of public transportation options in Marin County. BART, for example, doesn’t reach the North Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income residents who live in San Rafael — home to the highest percentage of Latinos in Marin County — \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201111300630/a\">have reported\u003c/a> that they live there because of the public transportation options.

At the peak of the mountain was a spectacular view of the San Francisco Bay Area. There was a resort, a grand restaurant, bar and tavern where visitors could stay the night. People from the East Coast and even Europe would travel to Marin County to ride the railway in long dresses and three-piece suits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the main purpose of the railway was to showcase the natural beauty of Marin so that people would want to preserve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Seeing those things inspired people to want to create the national parks they have now,” said Fred Runner, \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/article/NO/20170102/NEWS/170109973\">a historian\u003c/a> who wrote a book on the historic railway. “Their whole thing was to show off the lovely scenery and to try to promote wilderness conservation.

It comes from a long history of that for African-Americans moving into white neighborhoods,” she said. “People trying to move into these communities were met with a great deal of hostility and violence, and I think that the memory of that and the repeat performance of that over time, creates a dynamic of anticipated discrimination that can make it an unpleasant prospect to move into an all-white neighborhood — especially if that neighborhood has been making the news or has reinforced that reputation of not being welcoming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“It’s hard to own property here, and it’s easy to say, ‘Oh, it’s just a question about money, it’s not about race at all.’ But it’s not that simple.”\u003ccite>Caroline Peattie, Executive Director of Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003c/aside>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003c/aside>\n\u003ch3>Fighting Perception\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I met a guy named John Young, who was born and raised in Marin City. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He’s African-American and he says he knows people of color who have floated around this idea of Marin as a place just for white people.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That’s why a lot of people of color stay away,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Young hoped to change that.

We don't know yet what information they'll release on the circumstances surrounding what they've described as an apparent suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, an outpouring of shock and grief continues from family, friends, fellow performers and a long roster of public officials, including President Obama. \u003ca href=\"http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/08/11/president-obama-passing-robin-williams-he-was-one-kind\" target=\"_blank\">In a statement issued by the White House\u003c/a>, the president said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien -- but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most -- from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee issued his own statement, praising Williams' generosity in giving to a wide range of causes. In addition to participating in benefits for organizations that included San Francisco's Project Open Hand and Neil Young's Bridge Foundation, Williams started his own foundation to donate money to Doctors Without Borders, the Livestrong Foundation and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Barbara Boxer, like Williams a resident of Marin County, also issued a statement Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I send the heartfelt condolences of my entire family to Robin Williams' family as our entire country mourns the loss of this remarkable genius who made us smile, laugh uncontrollably or cry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His ability to connect with everyone was a rare gift indeed. We will always remember Robin and we must also rededicate ourselves to helping each other through the dark times.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among fellow performers reacting to Williams' death was comedian Chevy Chase -- who said they shared more than just their profession in common:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Robin and I were great friends, suffering from the same little-known disease: depression. I never could have expected this ending to his life and to ours with him. God bless him and God bless us all for his LIFE! I cannot believe this. I am overwhelmed with grief.

He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His wife, Susan Schneider, said: \"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Williams was in the news last month when gossip news site \u003ca href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2014/07/01/robin-williams-actor-rehab-photo-rehab-drugs-alcohol/\" target=\"_blank\">TMZ reported \u003c/a>that he was at \u003ca href=\"http://www.hazelden.org/\" target=\"blank\">Hazelden, an addiction treatment center\u003c/a> in Minnesota, to maintain his sobriety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams' representative told reporters at the time, \"After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams was open about his issues with alcohol and cocaine addiction. As recounted in the Los Angeles Times recently:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Williams ... previously spent time on a Hazelden campus in Oregon back in 2006. He later explained that drinking had gradually become a problem again after 20 years of sobriety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're standing at a precipice and you look down, there's a voice and it's a little quiet voice that goes, 'Jump,' \" the \"Mrs. Doubtfire\" star told ABC News in October of that year. \"The same voice that goes, 'Just one.' … And the idea of just one for someone who has no tolerance for it, that's not the possibility.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Williams' latest movie, \"Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,\" is in post-production and due for release in December. Here's how the Hollywood Reporter sums up Williams' career in \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robin-williams-dies-suspected-suicide-724724\" target=\"_blank\">its obituary\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A dazzling comic force whose career extended from stand-up to a major acting career, Williams' comedic talents were so quick and brilliant that he often intimidated other comedians. His improv skills were meteoric and stupefying: Williams could wing off the cuff better than any of his peers. He burst through the stand-up world into television, captivating audiences with his portrayal of the endearing extraterrestrial Mork in the '70s series \u003cem>Mork and Mindy\u003c/em>. He first limned the Mork role as a guest star on \u003cem>Happy Days\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He fractured movies audiences with his comedic and endearing performance in \u003cem>Good Morning, Vietnam\u003c/em> (1987). He delighted audiences in the box-office hit \u003cem>The Birdcage\u003c/em> (1996), playing a gay club owner who tries to convince his conservative, future in-laws of his heterosexual mainstream values. He tapped into a fey side and feminine side, as well: He delighted with his slapstick values as a hausfrau in \u003cem>Mrs. Doubtfire \u003c/em>(1993).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His rapid-fire delivery bespoke a warp-speed, associative intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mystery is in the motion: What miracle of the synapses got him from point A to point Z? At once a satirist, a comedian and a superb actor, this one-man repertory company dashes from mask to mask, voice to voice, like a man possessed by comic demons,” David Ansen wrote in Newsweek in 1986.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Williams returned to network television last year in a CBS sitcom called \u003cem>The Crazy Ones\u003c/em>. It was canceled after a single season. He said in \u003ca href=\"http://parade.condenast.com/154817/dotsonrader/robin-williams-on-returning-to-tv-getting-sober-and-downsizing-in-his-60s/\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with Parade magazine last year\u003c/a> that he was motivated to do the series in part because of financial challenges:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The idea of having a steady job is appealing. I have two [other] choices: go on the road doing stand-up, or do small, independent movies working almost for scale [minimum union pay]. The movies are good, but a lot of times they don’t even have distribution. There are bills to pay. My life has downsized, in a good way. I’m selling the ranch up in Napa. I just can’t afford it anymore.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Asked whether he \"lost all his money in his two divorces, Williams said: “Well, not all. Lost enough. Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it ‘all the money,’ but they changed it to ‘alimony.’ It’s ripping your heart out through your wallet. Are things good with my exes? Yes. But do I need that lifestyle? No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the complete statement on Williams' death released Monday from the Marin Sheriff's Office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On August 11, 2014, at approximately 11:55 am, Marin County Communications received a 9-1-1 telephone call reporting a male adult had been located unconscious and not breathing inside his residence in unincorporated Tiburon, CA. The Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Tiburon Fire Department and Southern Marin Fire Protection District were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at 12:00 pm. The male subject, pronounced deceased at 12:02 pm has been identified as Robin McLaurin Williams, a 63 year old resident of unincorporated Tiburon, CA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff’s Office. Preliminary information developed during the investigation indicates Mr. Williams was last seen alive at his residence, where he resides with his wife, at approximately 10 p.m. on Aug. 10, 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Williams was located this morning shortly before the 9-1-1 call was placed to Marin County Communications. At this time, the Sheriff’s Office Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made. A forensic examination is currently scheduled for August 12, 2014 with subsequent toxicology testing to be conducted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"williamscoroner\">\u003c/a>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_68553\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/236634017/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

We don't know yet what information they'll release on the circumstances surrounding what they've described as an apparent suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, an outpouring of shock and grief continues from family, friends, fellow performers and a long roster of public officials, including President Obama. \u003ca href=\"http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/08/11/president-obama-passing-robin-williams-he-was-one-kind\" target=\"_blank\">In a statement issued by the White House\u003c/a>, the president said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien -- but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most -- from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee issued his own statement, praising Williams' generosity in giving to a wide range of causes. In addition to participating in benefits for organizations that included San Francisco's Project Open Hand and Neil Young's Bridge Foundation, Williams started his own foundation to donate money to Doctors Without Borders, the Livestrong Foundation and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Barbara Boxer, like Williams a resident of Marin County, also issued a statement Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I send the heartfelt condolences of my entire family to Robin Williams' family as our entire country mourns the loss of this remarkable genius who made us smile, laugh uncontrollably or cry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His ability to connect with everyone was a rare gift indeed. We will always remember Robin and we must also rededicate ourselves to helping each other through the dark times.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among fellow performers reacting to Williams' death was comedian Chevy Chase -- who said they shared more than just their profession in common:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Robin and I were great friends, suffering from the same little-known disease: depression. I never could have expected this ending to his life and to ours with him. God bless him and God bless us all for his LIFE! I cannot believe this. I am overwhelmed with grief. What a wonderful man/boy and what a tremendous talent in the most important art of any time — comedy!

He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His wife, Susan Schneider, said: \"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Williams was in the news last month when gossip news site \u003ca href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2014/07/01/robin-williams-actor-rehab-photo-rehab-drugs-alcohol/\" target=\"_blank\">TMZ reported \u003c/a>that he was at \u003ca href=\"http://www.hazelden.org/\" target=\"blank\">Hazelden, an addiction treatment center\u003c/a> in Minnesota, to maintain his sobriety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams' representative told reporters at the time, \"After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams was open about his issues with alcohol and cocaine addiction. As recounted in the Los Angeles Times recently:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Williams ... previously spent time on a Hazelden campus in Oregon back in 2006. He later explained that drinking had gradually become a problem again after 20 years of sobriety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're standing at a precipice and you look down, there's a voice and it's a little quiet voice that goes, 'Jump,' \" the \"Mrs. Doubtfire\" star told ABC News in October of that year. \"The same voice that goes, 'Just one.' … And the idea of just one for someone who has no tolerance for it, that's not the possibility.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Williams' latest movie, \"Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,\" is in post-production and due for release in December. Here's how the Hollywood Reporter sums up Williams' career in \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robin-williams-dies-suspected-suicide-724724\" target=\"_blank\">its obituary\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A dazzling comic force whose career extended from stand-up to a major acting career, Williams' comedic talents were so quick and brilliant that he often intimidated other comedians. His improv skills were meteoric and stupefying: Williams could wing off the cuff better than any of his peers. He burst through the stand-up world into television, captivating audiences with his portrayal of the endearing extraterrestrial Mork in the '70s series \u003cem>Mork and Mindy\u003c/em>. He first limned the Mork role as a guest star on \u003cem>Happy Days\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He fractured movies audiences with his comedic and endearing performance in \u003cem>Good Morning, Vietnam\u003c/em> (1987). He delighted audiences in the box-office hit \u003cem>The Birdcage\u003c/em> (1996), playing a gay club owner who tries to convince his conservative, future in-laws of his heterosexual mainstream values. He tapped into a fey side and feminine side, as well: He delighted with his slapstick values as a hausfrau in \u003cem>Mrs. Doubtfire \u003c/em>(1993).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His rapid-fire delivery bespoke a warp-speed, associative intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mystery is in the motion: What miracle of the synapses got him from point A to point Z? At once a satirist, a comedian and a superb actor, this one-man repertory company dashes from mask to mask, voice to voice, like a man possessed by comic demons,” David Ansen wrote in Newsweek in 1986.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Williams returned to network television last year in a CBS sitcom called \u003cem>The Crazy Ones\u003c/em>. It was canceled after a single season. He said in \u003ca href=\"http://parade.condenast.com/154817/dotsonrader/robin-williams-on-returning-to-tv-getting-sober-and-downsizing-in-his-60s/\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with Parade magazine last year\u003c/a> that he was motivated to do the series in part because of financial challenges:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The idea of having a steady job is appealing. I have two [other] choices: go on the road doing stand-up, or do small, independent movies working almost for scale [minimum union pay]. The movies are good, but a lot of times they don’t even have distribution. There are bills to pay. My life has downsized, in a good way. I’m selling the ranch up in Napa. I just can’t afford it anymore.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Asked whether he \"lost all his money in his two divorces, Williams said: “Well, not all. Lost enough. Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it ‘all the money,’ but they changed it to ‘alimony.’ It’s ripping your heart out through your wallet. Are things good with my exes? Yes. But do I need that lifestyle? No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the complete statement on Williams' death released Monday from the Marin Sheriff's Office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On August 11, 2014, at approximately 11:55 am, Marin County Communications received a 9-1-1 telephone call reporting a male adult had been located unconscious and not breathing inside his residence in unincorporated Tiburon, CA. The Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Tiburon Fire Department and Southern Marin Fire Protection District were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at 12:00 pm. The male subject, pronounced deceased at 12:02 pm has been identified as Robin McLaurin Williams, a 63 year old resident of unincorporated Tiburon, CA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff’s Office. Preliminary information developed during the investigation indicates Mr. Williams was last seen alive at his residence, where he resides with his wife, at approximately 10 p.m. on Aug. 10, 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Williams was located this morning shortly before the 9-1-1 call was placed to Marin County Communications. At this time, the Sheriff’s Office Coroner Division suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia, but a comprehensive investigation must be completed before a final determination is made. A forensic examination is currently scheduled for August 12, 2014 with subsequent toxicology testing to be conducted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Napa County's rate is 90 per 100,000, and Marin's rate is 65 per 100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County's interim health officer, Karen Holbrook, says the number of cases reported each week has peaked and is now declining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not what the state is experiencing as a whole, but we are coming down,” Holbrook says. “Will that hold indefinitely remains to be seen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holbrook says California is seeing a whooping cough epidemic partly because the disease is cyclical, with cases spiking every three to five years.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Holbrook says, the immunity from the current vaccine, introduced in the 1990s, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2012/08/03/todays-whooping-cough-vaccine-may-be-safer-but-less-effective-than-the-old-one/\" target=\"_blank\">fades more quickly\u003c/a> than the previous version. The current vaccine has fewer side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holbrook says she also thinks clinicians in her county are doing a good job of recognizing and diagnosing cases. “I can’t prove that relative to the other counties, but I honestly feel that that’s contributing to our (higher) rate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin County Public Health Officer Matthew Willis says not all communities will have the same incidence of pertussis because of different factors and vulnerabilities, both known and unknown. Of the known factors, Willis echoes Holbrook’s points — and adds one more: vaccination rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Marin, it’s likely that pertussis was able to establish more of a foothold because of lower vaccination rates,” Willis says. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/08/21/marin-vaccinations/\" target=\"_blank\">Marin’s rate of personal belief exemptions\u003c/a>, which allow parents to opt out of vaccines for their children, is among the highest in the state, according to statewide data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing is clear, he says: Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent pertussis. The vaccine does not provide lifetime immunity and boosters are needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of those who should be vaccinated, babies and pregnant women are of particular importance, says Jennifer Henn, an epidemiologist with Napa County's Public Health Division. “Infants, especially infants under six months of age, are especially vulnerable to severe disease and even death if they become infected with the pertussis bacteria.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infants generally cannot get their first pertussis vaccine until they are eight weeks, but in light of the epidemic, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2014/06/27/whooping-cough-epidemic-continues-1100-new-cases-in-last-two-weeks/\" target=\"_blank\">state health officers said \u003c/a>babies can be vaccinated as young as six weeks. Pregnant mothers should be vaccinated in the third trimester of every pregnancy in order for their children to receive antibodies in the womb. People who are around infants, such as other members of the household or caregivers, should also be vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/159002693&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_auto_sidebar id=\"Ng1M7L5S1Gy1LBl1ZTFiYhPZNt6CsCYd\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

The current vaccine has fewer side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holbrook says she also thinks clinicians in her county are doing a good job of recognizing and diagnosing cases. “I can’t prove that relative to the other counties, but I honestly feel that that’s contributing to our (higher) rate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin County Public Health Officer Matthew Willis says not all communities will have the same incidence of pertussis because of different factors and vulnerabilities, both known and unknown. Of the known factors, Willis echoes Holbrook’s points — and adds one more: vaccination rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Marin, it’s likely that pertussis was able to establish more of a foothold because of lower vaccination rates,” Willis says. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/08/21/marin-vaccinations/\" target=\"_blank\">Marin’s rate of personal belief exemptions\u003c/a>, which allow parents to opt out of vaccines for their children, is among the highest in the state, according to statewide data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing is clear, he says: Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent pertussis. The vaccine does not provide lifetime immunity and boosters are needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of those who should be vaccinated, babies and pregnant women are of particular importance, says Jennifer Henn, an epidemiologist with Napa County's Public Health Division. “Infants, especially infants under six months of age, are especially vulnerable to severe disease and even death if they become infected with the pertussis bacteria.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infants generally cannot get their first pertussis vaccine until they are eight weeks, but in light of the epidemic, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2014/06/27/whooping-cough-epidemic-continues-1100-new-cases-in-last-two-weeks/\" target=\"_blank\">state health officers said \u003c/a>babies can be vaccinated as young as six weeks. Pregnant mothers should be vaccinated in the third trimester of every pregnancy in order for their children to receive antibodies in the womb. People who are around infants, such as other members of the household or caregivers, should also be vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/159002693&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_auto_sidebar id=\"Ng1M7L5S1Gy1LBl1ZTFiYhPZNt6CsCYd\"]\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But could I really find serenity without one? My friend suggested a taser. She’d bought one while she was being stalked; it fit in her back pocket and she found she felt powerful when she held it.

(Grace Rubenstein/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I managed to put the freaky images out of my head over a few days spent working in the East Bay, farther from the mountain. Until I mentioned the situation to my mom, who immediately started recounting chilling stories of the Trailside Killer. I’d been too young, a toddler, to remember when his murders terrorized the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of them was a young woman who’d been in the Peace Corps, and she didn’t know,” my mom said. “And she decided to stop just before sunset at the Mountain Theater.” (Note: Merely half a mile from my new favorite bench.) “They found her body not far away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, I anxiously looked online for any news of Magdalena. And there it was: \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_25571464/body-woman-missing-mount-tamalpais-found\">they’d found her body\u003c/a>. A trail runner who’d seen her, alive, on the day she went missing led authorities to the right area, where searchers found her down a steep slope. The sheriff reported “no obvious indication of any foul play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, I couldn’t sleep. Pandora’s box was open. I lay in bed searching for tasers on my smartphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four days later, another solo female hiker went missing in the same area. Searchers \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/News/ci_25589670/Mill-Valley-woman-confirmed-as-missing\">found the body\u003c/a> of 50-year-old Marie Sanner the next day, down another steep slope. Again, no sign of foul play. She appeared to have fallen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this could all be explained away. Mind you, though, this is the not the Rockies; accidental deaths on mellow Mount Tam are uncommon. Two in three weeks: unheard of. Official causes of death are still pending; the coroner is awaiting toxicology results for Magdalena and conducting an autopsy for Marie today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Logically, I realize that Magdalena’s and Marie’s tragic deaths probably have little to do with my safety on the mountain. And statistically, with 30-plus years between us and the last serial killer, the risk is tiny. It’s probably more dangerous to go to restaurants in parts of East Oakland that see frequent shootings, as I am wont to do. But there is a certain kind of terror in the idea of being alone in the wilderness with a man who means you harm. And once that idea gets in you, it’s hard to get it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naive or not, I realize that I have, at least, been choosing to be vulnerable. And I don’t want to be vulnerable anymore. I will probably hike with some kind of protection from now on, be it a taser in my back pocket or pepper spray at my waistband. I only hope I can forget I’m carrying it — that my mountain cradles me, as always, and whispers away my fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/West-Point.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/West-Point-640x430.jpg\" alt=\"The author watches the sun rise in front of the West Point Inn in March 2014.

Official causes of death are still pending; the coroner is awaiting toxicology results for Magdalena and conducting an autopsy for Marie today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Logically, I realize that Magdalena’s and Marie’s tragic deaths probably have little to do with my safety on the mountain. And statistically, with 30-plus years between us and the last serial killer, the risk is tiny. It’s probably more dangerous to go to restaurants in parts of East Oakland that see frequent shootings, as I am wont to do. But there is a certain kind of terror in the idea of being alone in the wilderness with a man who means you harm. And once that idea gets in you, it’s hard to get it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
