Ferry and BART Ridership See Immediate Spikes as Gas Prices Rise "Marin County ferries are seeing a significant rise in ridership after nearly two years of being half empty. As some Marin commuters tell KRON4, they've gotten used to have no problem finding a seat, but all that's changed in the last couple of weeks, and the ferries have been packed again at rush hours." CONTINUE READING ON SFIST Alameda and Marin counties lifting school indoor masking mandates "Masks will be downgraded from a requirement to a strong recommendation while students are indoors in both counties and the city of Berkeley. Masks are not required for students while outdoors. Individual school districts will still have the ability to implement their own masking requirements. Health officials in both counties said masks will remain an effective tool at reducing the spread of COVID-19."

Not only did she grow up on her family’s farm in Marshall, she also helped her brother launch Straus Family Creamery, where she would serve as VP of sales and marketing for more than 10 years (she is no longer involved with the creamery), and she even coordinated farm tours for Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station."
