landscape,” Karin Leonard said. “I greatly enjoy painting En Plein Air (on location), as well as in my studio. Painting on location is a spiritual experience for me. Being in the presence of the beauty and spirit of nature infuses the artwork and allows me to capture a moment in time. My paintings are a celebration of the abundant natural splendor of the wild. I intend to express the spirit and mystery of nature through my artwork, and hope to inspire conservation of our beautiful environment. Each image is an invitation for you to follow your imagination, feelings and memories.”

researched to understand where and how the ingredients are sourced and how they help improve pet health. Educating pet parents about how to provide a good quality diet sets EarthWise Pet apart from other supply stores. Within the last couple
years, they have expanded to include supplies for small animals, fish, and crickets for reptiles. The grooming salon now employs four part-time groomers and a bather, all of whom share a love of animals and treat each client’s pet as if they were their own. They take pride in professional, gentle grooming and work with all types of dogs and cats, especially those with health and behavioral issues. Supporting the community is a passion for the EarthWise Pet team. Whether it’s a local rescue, animal shelter, the SVPD K9 unit, or helping the homeless keep their 4-legged companions fed, they feel strongly that every animal deserves quality food and care. To commemorate their 5th anniversary, EarthWise Pet will be hosting a ‘Pet Party’ on Saturday, June 23rd from 10am – 6pm at the store located in the Kmart Shopping Center. To celebrate, they will offer self-washes, nail trims, and select toys and treats for $5 each. Peace of Mind will have pets to adopt. Atlas the K9 is expected to make an appearance. And of course, giveaways, free samples, and a raffle supporting a local rescue shelter will round out the fun.

rank among the top in the State, and boast a 96% graduation rate, with over 95% of those graduates going on to higher education. However, despite lobbying efforts in both California and Washington D.C., and top awards at the state and national level, lawmakers in Sacramento have annually funded Scotts Valley in the bottom 3% of schools statewide. Scotts Valley is the 9th lowest funded unified school district out of 344 districts in the State. Unfortunately, the State limits the avenues a public school has to fund its operations. The SVUSD board and administration have always striven to live within their means and have been successful relying on parent contributions and donations (of both time and money) over the years to supplement the education program funded by the allocated state and federal resources.

The School Board is proposing a parcel tax at this time because of the State’s ongoing inability to meet its school funding obligations. Despite the Districts’ conservative approach to its finances, the State has limited base funding so significantly that the District will not be able to meet its financial obligations necessary to keep providing a quality education without financial help from our community. For more information, tune in to Think Local First Radio on KSCO 1080 AM on Saturday, June 2nd from 2-3pm. Our Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Danny Reber will be interviewing Derek Timm and SVUSD Superintendent Tanya Krause to discuss the proposed parcel tax and ways that you can help. You can also get more information on the web at SOSSV.net or email at info@sossv.net.
