The new pumptrack at Ramsay Park in Watsonville is now open to the public. It will be open to cyclists between sunrise and 8 p.m. every day.

Of the 10 people shot and killed yesterday in Boulder Colorado, one was the father of the news director of local National Public Radio Station K.A.Z.U. Erika Mahoney announced her 61 year-old father’s death today. She said that Kevin Mahoney represented ‘all things love’, and that she ‘was thankful he got to walk her down the aisle last summer’, although sad that he will miss meeting the grandchild with whom she is currently pregnant. Services have not yet been announced for Kevin Mahoney.
The Santa Cruz Police Department would like to hire some new crossing guards to help kids cross the street to get to school safely. Crossing guards work from 8 to 9 in the morning and then from 12:20 to 2:20 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. People who wish to submit applications are encouraged to do so on the City Of Santa Cruz’ website.
Yesterday’s fire in a homeless encampment, near the intersection of Highways 1 and 9, was the second blaze at the encampment in a week. This time an occupant was cooking food with an open flame too close to his tent....and his neighbor’s tent. Both tents were destroyed by the fire that also climbed a ways up a nearby redwood tree.
Several propane cylinders and a car battery were also melted by the accidental fire....that was on the opposite side of the sound wall from the coral street shelter.
This encampment is on the cal-trans right-of-way that is expected to be cleared soon due to expected roadwork in the area.
A 3 year-deal (that is being considered) between the Monterey County Board Of Supervisors and the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association....could mean a “Vintage” Motorcycle Festival being held during the Weather Tech Raceway Laguna Seca season. Raceway management dubbed A.H.R.M.A. the “pre-eminent vintage motorcycle organization” in the U.S.
