Safe Routes to School n Boulder Creek, construction is underway for a curb, gutter, sidewalk, retaining wall, and drainage improvements near Boulder Creek Elementary School. A 300-foot retaining wall four feet high is being built directly along the school frontage on Laurel Street between Lomond Street and Harmon Street. In addition, a short walkway on the east side of Laurel Street at the intersection of Lomond Street is being built in order to provide a connection to an existing railroad tie and gravel staircase that was constructed by volunteers. A walkway is also being constructed on Harmon Street from Laurel Street to Oak Street. The improvements are funded with a grant from the Federal Safe Routes to School program. A construction bid came in earlier this summer higher than expected, which meant the work was likely to be delayed

nabis cultivation program is currently underway and closes on November 6. This registration process is voluntary; however, we anticipate that only the owners of registered cannabis cultivation sites will be eligible to apply for a local license when they become available. The goal is to allow existing growers to register, receive feedback from the County on the degree to which their cultivation site conforms to the proposed regulations, and allow the County to collect information for the evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with cultivation activities in Santa Cruz County including existing conditions, impacts and recommendations for appropriate regulation of cannabis cultivation. To register, go to the sign-up page at: https://scccannabis.co.santa-cruz.ca.us to begin the process.

PG&E has proposed to remove hundreds of trees above its gas line along Graham Hill Road between Santa Cruz and Felton and in other areas of the County.

he Regional Transportation Com-
Measure” will appear on the November 8, 2016 ballot after securing approval from the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors and the cities of Capitola, Santa Cruz and Watsonville. The measure includes a balanced mix of projects across transportation modes and geographic areas of Santa Cruz County, many of which are needed improvements to the local transportation network that will not happen without new local funding. The Regional Transportation
measure over the last two years based on extensive public input and support. Projects in the plan will improve safety for children walking and bicycling near schools; repair potholes; repave 1; maintain transportation for seniors and people with disabilities; reduce global warming and air pollution by providing transportation options like sidewalks, bike lanes, and trails; preserve and analyze transit options in the rail corridor; and deliver other projects to meet the mobility needs of current and future generations. If approved by the voters in November, the half-cent sales tax measure would
also reduce reliance on Sacramento and Washington for transportation funding, create local jobs and stimulate local economic vitality. Based on vast and broad community input, the 2016 Transportation Improvement Measure boosts transit funding, especially for seniors and people with disabilities, and pares down projects in the rail corridor to only include property management/maintenance and a transparent public analysis of future transportation uses of the corridor. The one-half cent sales tax measure includes citizen oversight, independent
tax increase expiring at the end of the
levels. This half-cent sales tax for the next 30 years will raise approximately $17
million annually, requires citizen oversight, independent audits, and that all funds are spent locally. This is not a bond issue so all tax moneys collected go to pay for the approved projects. “Transportation” page 16

The integration of the control system, network and installation of the lights in such a unique environment was an exciting challenge. Even though Legend may be installing a new lighting or rigging system at a university or performing arts center, they may simultaneously be building a unique scenic design for an opera in San Francisco or setting up a stage for a festival.

In 2006 the Town Center subcommittee which consists of Dene Bustichi myself and Vice Mayor Randy Johnson recommended to the council to move forward to create a spearound Sky Park this area has become to be known as the Town Center site. become the guiding document in what the community would like to see in this area after two years of public hearings, community outreach and involvement. After ronmental studies and economic studies approved in 2008. What was approved was a very pedestrian friendly, multi-use development of residential housing, retail and restaurants, civic uses including Library and Performing Arts as well as open public space such as a town square and/or town green. So here it is eight years later and many ask what has happened and when will the Town Center be done?
Challenges 1. Two propane companies on two separate properties needed to be purchased and relocated. 2. Two property owners reluctant to sell property within the Town Center area. 3. Biological report showing wetlands area {actually a drainage ditch} requiring relocation of wetlands area to a new location.
4. During the 2008/2009 Recession, the worst in my lifetime, most development stopped for a period of three years within the city. The developer we had signed to a predevelopment agreement pulled out of the project due to the economy. Progress Made 1. Five separate land purchases at the Town Center Site. 2. Relocation of the two propane facilities 3. Fifty residential units built near the transit center. 4. The designation of wetlands area has now been removed as an obstacle. 5. 13,000 square foot Library built as Phase One of the Town Center and one of the civic uses designated. 6. Construction has started on a 9000 square foot Performing Arts Center as another civic use. Scheduled to be open by summer of 2017. Next Steps he Town Center Subcommittee of Vice Mayor Johnson and me have been meeting with developers and retailers for the last 18 months. This includes going to

The economy has picked up in such a way that there is renewed interest in the retail component of the center and we are hopeful to bring to the council in a full public meeting a new approach and development and land purchase agreements for the development of the next two phases of the Town Center. This will include a residential, retail and restaurant component as well as a town green open space that will provide connectivity to the Library, Performing Art Center, and Sky Park.

Featured Columnist What Every Pet Owner Should Know By Tiffany L. Mitchener, DVM

aw food pet diets are increasing in popularity, but feeding raw food to our companion animals has inherent risks. This article examines what every pet owner should know before deciding to make the switch to a raw diet. What is a Raw Food Diet?
A
from what one thinks of the standard, processed pet food diet. A raw food diet is not cooked. It often contains muscle meat,
follow online recipes to create a home prepared raw diet. There are also commercially processed raw diets that can be purchased at a pet store; these are often frozen or freeze dried. Combination diets are also available which contain a blend of grains, vegetables and vitamins; these require an owner to simply add the raw meat.
S
upporters of raw food diets often report the following changes in their pets: shinier coats, healthier skin, cleaner teeth, increased energy, smaller stool volume. Raw food diets appear to be very palatable attributed to the higher fat content of raw diets. Many pet owners were very frightened by the 2007 widespread recall of contaminated commercial pet food that was responsible for multiple pet deaths. Many
owners feel that home-prepared raw diets give them more control over what their pets are eating. But it is important to note that raw diets have not been thoroughly researched by the veterinary community. Carefully crafted studies need to be performed before raw diets can be fully and fairly evaluated. Why Are Raw Diets Not Endorsed by the FDA or the AVMA? he FDA and AVMA do not endorse raw diets due to potential threats to both pet and owner health. Raw meat can contain bacteria and/ or other parasites that can be harmful to animals and humans alike. Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria bacteria have all been found in raw diets. Pets can become sick from the bacterial or parasitic contamination, or they can become carriers for these infectious agents and then routinely shed them in their feces. This can put the whole public at risk, especially any immuno-compromised individuals. It is interesting to note that due to these risks,

Program no longer allows animals eating raw meat-based diets to participate in their therapy animal programs. Another issue is that due to their inexact composition, raw pet food diets can contain nutritional imbalances that can harm pets if fed long term. Many raw pet food diets are low in calcium and phosphorus. The lack of these essential nutrients can lead to brittle bones, bone fractures,
hides, or bully sticks, may not be fully cooked. Dogs that consume these treats are at risk of bacterial contamination, broken teeth, choking, intestinal punctures, and obstruction. Who Should Avoid a Raw Diet? ue to their potential nutritional imbalances, raw diets should not be fed to puppies that are at higher risk of developing bone deformities and growth issues. Animals with cancer, late stage kidney disease, or severe liver failure should not be fed raw diets. Are There Any Other Diet Options? iven that some owners prefer not to feed their pets a commercial diet, is a raw diet the only alternative? One widely overlooked option is for pet owners to feed their pets a cooked homemade diet designed by a veterinary nutritionist. Consult your veterinarian for advice on where to find recipes for nutritionally balanced home cooked meals. Any diet changes for your pet

and dental issues. If a raw diet is particularly high in liver meat, this can lead to increased vitamin A levels that can be toxic. Finally, the presence of whole bones in many raw food diets can lead to choking risks, broken teeth, internal intestinal punctures or obstruction.

should only be made under the guidance of your veterinarian. Raw pet food diets continue to grow in popularity among pet owners. Owners should feed these diets with care knowing their limitations and potential risks to both their animals and themselves. Further study is needed by the veterinary community to fully understand if the potential outweigh the risks. Until more is known, pet owners should consider feeding their pets a high quality standard processed pet food or a veterinary nutritionist designed homemade cooked diet.
