Just as I was enjoying my remission from my multiple myeloma (blood cell cancer), I was recently diagnosed with melanoma (skin cancer), which was thankfully the superficial curable kind.

On Saturday, March 26, 2016, ScottsValleyHigh School will honor athletes, coaches, teams and other important individuals who have shown excellence while in the San Lorenzo Valley Athletics Program. The dinner at Scopazzi’s Restaurant, 13300 Big Basin Way, Boulder Creek, will start with drinks at 5:00 p.m. and dinner and award ceremony at 6:00 p.m.

EDITOR,

Friends and neighbors, thank you for the many kind words of support during my campaign for Scotts Valley School Board. Although I entered the election late, I am by no means new to Scotts Valley or our schools. As a former Scotts Valley police officer, I was awarded the Medal of Merit, the Scotts Valley Mayors Service Award and the California Youth Authority Individual Service Award for my service to the youth of Scotts Valley. More recently, I am raising three daughters, all of who have graduated from or are enrolled in Scotts Valley schools. I am currently a reserve deputy sheriff and the lead instructor of the administration of justice program at Gavilan College. I entered the race because I felt a two-candidate race for two seats was a non-issue, and I wanted to raise the issue of school quality now. Not in January when the new board is seated. I applaud my fellow candidates’ commitment to public service and their desire to serve at a time when tough decisions will have to be made. It has been a pleasure to meet all of you during this campaign, and I thank you.
