But before we get into more detail on that, a bit of history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1994, \u003ca href=\"http://www.zerobreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-in-marin\" target=\"_blank\">a report from CPIC \u003c/a>(then called Northern California Cancer Center) identified the high rate of breast cancer in Marin County, compared it to that of countries around the world and concluded that the Marin County rate was the highest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women in Marin, an affluent county, have \"a whole cluster of established risk factors for breast cancer,\" Clarke said. These risk factors tend to go along with being more affluent: later age of childbearing, if at all, and higher alcohol consumption. White women are at slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer than are women of other races or ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the 1990s, breast cancer rates for non-Hispanic white women in Marin \u003ca href=\"http://www.marincounty.org/~/media/files/departments/bs/district-4/docs/faq_breast_cancer_in_marin.pdf?la=en\" target=\"_blank\">climbed 60 percent,\u003c/a> compared to 5 percent in other parts of the Bay Area. It reached its peak in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate started to fall after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/news/press-releases/2002/nhlbi-stops-trial-of-estrogen-plus-progestin-due-to-increased-breast-cancer-risk-lack-of-overall-benefit\" target=\"_blank\">major study was halted in 2002\u003c/a>, when researchers identified a link between use of hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer. Affluent women were also more likely to use hormone therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women abandoned the hormones in droves, and the breast cancer rate started to fall, in Marin and nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Marin county's breast cancer rate still exceeded the statewide average until a second drop started in 2007. That's what researchers can't quite account for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clarke said it's likely due to a host of reasons -- perhaps women are exercising more or losing weight, two other factors that reduce risk of breast cancer. It's also possible women are consuming less alcohol, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One factor they know is not responsible: the change in mammography screening guidelines. In 2009, a major government panel, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, \u003ca href=\"http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Document/UpdateSummaryFinal/breast-cancer-screening\" target=\"_blank\">recommended women have fewer mammograms\u003c/a>. Researchers found no evidence that this recommendation has led to less breast cancer being found, in part because the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ -- or DCIS -- is increasing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The increased incidence of \u003cem>in situ \u003c/em>cancer suggests a decline in mammography screening likely is not a key factor contributing to the decline in invasive breast cancer in Marin County,\" Dr. Karly Kerlikowske, a UCSF epidemiologist said in a release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the reason, \"We're really happy to see things trending in the right direction,\" Clarke said. \"We're obviously delighted to tell women in Marin County that the rates are similar to the rest of the state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2001, the breast cancer rate in Marin has dropped 31 percent. Mortality has also sharply declined. Since record-keeping began in 1988, the death rate from breast cancer has dropped 65 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An interesting footnote: Clarke said that monitoring incidence rates is based on county-level census data. It's highly likely, she said, that similarly affluent areas in California, like Palo Alto or West LA, might have had the same pattern of a higher rate -- fueled at least in part by hormone therapy -- and the decline that Marin has seen.\u003c/p>\n\n",

These risk factors tend to go along with being more affluent: later age of childbearing, if at all, and higher alcohol consumption. White women are at slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer than are women of other races or ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the 1990s, breast cancer rates for non-Hispanic white women in Marin \u003ca href=\"http://www.marincounty.org/~/media/files/departments/bs/district-4/docs/faq_breast_cancer_in_marin.pdf?la=en\" target=\"_blank\">climbed 60 percent,\u003c/a> compared to 5 percent in other parts of the Bay Area. It reached its peak in 2001.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate started to fall after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/news/press-releases/2002/nhlbi-stops-trial-of-estrogen-plus-progestin-due-to-increased-breast-cancer-risk-lack-of-overall-benefit\" target=\"_blank\">major study was halted in 2002\u003c/a>, when researchers identified a link between use of hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer. Affluent women were also more likely to use hormone therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women abandoned the hormones in droves, and the breast cancer rate started to fall, in Marin and nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Marin county's breast cancer rate still exceeded the statewide average until a second drop started in 2007. That's what researchers can't quite account for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clarke said it's likely due to a host of reasons -- perhaps women are exercising more or losing weight, two other factors that reduce risk of breast cancer. It's also possible women are consuming less alcohol, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One factor they know is not responsible: the change in mammography screening guidelines. In 2009, a major government panel, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, \u003ca href=\"http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Document/UpdateSummaryFinal/breast-cancer-screening\" target=\"_blank\">recommended women have fewer mammograms\u003c/a>. Researchers found no evidence that this recommendation has led to less breast cancer being found, in part because the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ -- or DCIS -- is increasing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The increased incidence of \u003cem>in situ \u003c/em>cancer suggests a decline in mammography screening likely is not a key factor contributing to the decline in invasive breast cancer in Marin County,\" Dr. Karly Kerlikowske, a UCSF epidemiologist said in a release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the reason, \"We're really happy to see things trending in the right direction,\" Clarke said. \"We're obviously delighted to tell women in Marin County that the rates are similar to the rest of the state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2001, the breast cancer rate in Marin has dropped 31 percent. Mortality has also sharply declined. Since record-keeping began in 1988, the death rate from breast cancer has dropped 65 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An interesting footnote: Clarke said that monitoring incidence rates is based on county-level census data. It's highly likely, she said, that similarly affluent areas in California, like Palo Alto or West LA, might have had the same pattern of a higher rate -- fueled at least in part by hormone therapy -- and the decline that Marin has seen.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Marie Sanner, 50, of Mill Valley, was found April 17 &mdashp; again after failing to return from a solo outing on the mountain.

Glinkowski, who had been a Silicon Valley software developer, had apparently driven to Mount Tam in a rented car on March 30. Although the vehicle was found near the Pantoll campground, no one realized she was missing for several days. Initial searches were fruitless. It wasn't until a runner who had seen Glinkowski on the mountain came forward that rangers found her body near a remote trail. Police said at the time there was\u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_25571464/body-woman-missing-mount-tamalpais-found\" target=\"_blank\"> no obvious sign of trauma\u003c/a> on her body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week's coroner's report ruled that Glinkowski died of \"environmental exposure with hypothermia\" and comments:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Information developed during the investigation into Ms. Glinkowski’s death revealed the absence of significant physical injuries to her person or toxicological factors that led to her death. The investigation revealed Ms. Glinkowski was unfamiliar with the area and unprepared for a prolonged or individual hike. Nothing was developed during the investigation to conclude foul play was a factor in the death.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Unlike Glinkowski, authorities relatively quickly realized Sanner was missing. Sanner, who was a kindergarten teacher in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/2nd-woman-to-die-on-Mt-Tamalpais-knew-area-well-5413348.php\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly drove up Mount Tam the evening of April 16\u003c/a> to go on a hike with her German shepherd.

The investigation revealed a combination of factors, such as a lack of ambient light, her unfamiliarity with the trail, lack of lighting for night hiking and the presence of alcohol (.12 BAC) which were considered in concluding the investigation.

Marie Sanner, 50, of Mill Valley, was found April 17 &mdashp; again after failing to return from a solo outing on the mountain. The disappearances and the fact Glinkowski and Sanner were found just a mile apart \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_25620854/after-deaths-two-hikers-mt-tam-marin-investigators?source=pkg\" target=\"_blank\">prompted fears that the women might have been victims of a serial killer.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Marin coroner says there was no apparent connection between the deaths. Glinkowski, who had been a Silicon Valley software developer, had apparently driven to Mount Tam in a rented car on March 30. Although the vehicle was found near the Pantoll campground, no one realized she was missing for several days. Initial searches were fruitless. It wasn't until a runner who had seen Glinkowski on the mountain came forward that rangers found her body near a remote trail. Police said at the time there was\u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_25571464/body-woman-missing-mount-tamalpais-found\" target=\"_blank\"> no obvious sign of trauma\u003c/a> on her body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week's coroner's report ruled that Glinkowski died of \"environmental exposure with hypothermia\" and comments:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Information developed during the investigation into Ms. Glinkowski’s death revealed the absence of significant physical injuries to her person or toxicological factors that led to her death. The investigation revealed Ms. Glinkowski was unfamiliar with the area and unprepared for a prolonged or individual hike. Nothing was developed during the investigation to conclude foul play was a factor in the death.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Unlike Glinkowski, authorities relatively quickly realized Sanner was missing. Sanner, who was a kindergarten teacher in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/2nd-woman-to-die-on-Mt-Tamalpais-knew-area-well-5413348.php\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly drove up Mount Tam the evening of April 16\u003c/a> to go on a hike with her German shepherd. She was reported missing early the afternoon of April 17 and was found off the side of a trail near a creek a few hours later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And private security was frequently in attendance at board meetings during the height of the debates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2012, ratepayers went to the ballot box, ousting incumbent board member Marcia Johnson and electing newcomers (though well known in the community) Frank Egger and Mary Sylla — who found herself the subject of a rambling and angry letter from Richards criticizing her for her campaign and opposition to his policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/rosskentfieldgreenbrae/ci_20936778/critical-letter-from-ross-valley-sewer-district-manager\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the Marin Independent Journal, which also has the letter in full\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In the letter, Richards, who has been the district’s manager since 2008, suggests that Sylla has been speaking ill of him or untruthfully, but the language is vague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having heard numerous stories from others about the words you speak regarding me, it seems fitting to send you this note,” the letter continues. “Frankly, I had hope (sic) you were a better person than you represent yourself to be.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/opinion/ci_20924457/dick-spotswood-ross-valley-sanitary-district-chief-needs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Marin IJ published an editorial\u003c/a> arguing that the general manager had received a $350,000 loan from the district to secure housing but hadn’t bought any property, he reportedly stopped coming into work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richards was hired in 2008 and paid $163,000 a year, which was raised to $197,000 in 2009. Under his contract, he also was prohibited from being fired in the 90 days before a board election or 180 days after.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After failing to come into work for weeks, Richards emailed his resignation in late July 2012, according to the district lawyer.

According to the author, it will disclose, in the order of events, Ross Valley Sanitary District happenings between 2008 and 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the pages that follow, you are going to learn about board members, mayors, councilpersons, lawyers, public employees, those who are willing to subject themselves to a carefully shielded power group, and what happens to those when they don’t. In addition, we’ll be talking about the better part of $300,000,000 [stet] because part of the story is who has and who desires the power to control it, what some will do to keep it, and what some will do to get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It didn’t take long for Marin leaders to begin passing the blog’s URL from inbox to inbox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With some of the things that are written here, I would expect it is [Richards],” said Larkspur Councilman Larry Chu. “I don’t know what he intends to do with this, or if he feels some kind of injustice and needs to put his side of the story out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The writer says the blog is an “invitation” for the public to be the jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Am I crazy? I hope you’ll read on and decide for yourself.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has he done since then? How did he end up in the Philippines? What happened to the $350,000 loan? If only he still updated the blog, perhaps we would know.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
