Sounding Off the Pack: The San Lorenzo Valley Community Howl

April 10, 2020

While things begin to feel, perhaps, a little more claustrophobic at home, know that you can know participate with community members across the world in celebrating our essential workers! The trend of evening clapping to thank workers began in Wuhan, China, and is quickly catching on throughout the globe from Paris, to New York City, Buenos Aires, Seville, Atlanta, and Amsterdam. It’s even spread to our valleys! If you have yet to join, I advise you to, like the spouse of Boulder Creek resident Nicki Petruzzella Kerns, set an alarm for 7:57 pm and amble outside after it goes off. Ever since March 28th, our valleys have been filling with howls of appreciation at 8:00pm, for those continuing to work against the virus.

SLVWD Friends Propose New Program for Low Income Ratepayers

April 10, 2020

While San Lorenzo Valley Water District has been doing a great job keeping our water safe and available (check out Christina Wise’s article from last week for more information!), the water board has some big decisions to make soon. In order to bridge the gap between the board and the community, a new group, the SLVWD Friends, was formally created this past November to help facilitate collaboration between the two groups. I spoke with Jim Mosher, a retired attorney and member of Friends, about their upcoming goals for the district.

Agape Dance and LightSpeed Martial Arts:

April 3, 2020

It’s easier now than ever during spring to get a little stir crazy. Cooped up at home, those last work tasks don’t seem nearly as important as staring out your window at the beautiful spring weather. Only a few weeks ago, there were many wonderful options in our valleys to help get those wiggles out and focus your mind, before returning home from school or the office. While it may seem like the only way to exercise nowadays is on a safely distanced neighborhood walk, many businesses are getting creative with their services and providing quarantine approved options!

April 3, 2020

SAT/ACT and Grades Update

April 1, 2020

University of California is drastically relaxing its fall 2021 admissions standards for applicants who are currently high school juniors, including suspending the requirement that they take standardized tests and allowing pass/fail grades for this spring’s classes affected by the coronavirus pandemic.This is NOT a permanent change but an accommodation due to the impact of the coronavirus. Students applying for fall 2021 can still take tests (both standardized and finals) and send scores to UC if they are able. Doing so can support their UC eligibility and help fulfill some university graduation requirements. But campuses must ensure that “no student is harmed in admissions selection should they not submit a test score,” according to the UC statement.This is huge news, folks, and you may be tempted to drop the SAT or ACT like a hot potato, but please take a moment to consider. The UC schools are some of the most competitive out there, and admissions boards look for distinguishing markers for admitting students. While the requirement may be suspended, the benefits of a high SAT or ACT score still most definitely apply.
