A Halloween fundraiser is being planned by a local non-profit group to help raise money for abused horses. The Redwings Horse Sanctuary, a foster home for horses in need, has 85 rescued horses currently at their stables in Prunedale and Lockwood. Since the downturn of the economy, the sanctuary is in need of food and cares for the animals and will be holding a “Haunted Barn” to help them care for the horses. The Haunted Barn will be located in Seaside this year in the Laguna Plaza at 1144 Fremont Boulevard.

In an effort to improve navigation around U.C. Santa Cruz, all campus roads, streets, drives and ways have been named. The new names come after many roads were left un-named when the school was founded 45-years ago after a larger network of buildings and streets were envisioned by initial planners. The 29-new street names have been updated on online campus maps but U.C.S.C’s I-T department is expected to send Google and other digital map makers the revisions, which is said to be done within the next few months.
