The Terrace- Building in the Neighborhood You Live

If you’ve spent any time driving through Scotts Valley these past couple of months, you’ve probably noticed a few new developments around town.  A notable housing development behind the Shell Station on the intersection of Mount Hermon Road and Scotts Valley Drive, the Terrace, plans on opening quickly after the new year.  The Terrace has been under construction since last May and will ultimately be made up of 19 homes. Each will have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, in blocks of five.

The gift of chocolate is often considered one of love and affection. Wrapping the true decadence of chocolate in a bundle of heart-healthy ingredients with the special touch of something homemade, makes it a gift to be savored. 

Roll up your sleeves

Deadline to sign petitions for SB277 referendum approaches this month. The SB277 is California’s new vaccine mandate for children in school.The referendum asks that personal belief exemptions remain valid in the state of California. If the law stays on track, such exemptions will no longer be allowed. Children will be required to be vaccinated based on the government’s recommended schedule. Those who do not want the vaccines will be denied entry into school.For families who are concerned about their constitutional and parental rights, time is running out to get informed and take a stand.Several local parents have the petitions on hand for people to sign, and are available to discuss the ramifications of the new law, which is scheduled to take effect in 2016.SB277 is just the tip of the iceberg. Since its passing earlier this year, other laws have been making their way through the legislation, which require adult vaccinations to be current as well.While it’s obvious that nobody wants dormant, crippling diseases to come back into society, it’s important to note that these bills have been passed without voter approval.Both the pro and against viewpoints have scientific backing. Being informed on both sidesof the story is the best way to make decisions.It’s always up to the individual to decide what’s best for them, but SB277 takes that choice away.Fore more information on the referendum, visit http://sb277referendum.com.

Trick or Troth—Some Halloween History

In the 19th century, the old pagan holiday of All Hallows’ Eve was often a romantic occasion. “To lovers,” according to one article, “the feast is the most convenient of all on the calendar. The maiden, on Hallow Eve, is enabled by a temporary suspension of her Christian conscience and some diabolical enchantment, to behold the person of her future husband.”
