Can Skateboards and Scooters Co-Exist?

SV1202webcoverUntil recently, the Tim Brauch Memorial Skatepark in Scotts Valley allowed just skateboards, in-line skates and roller skates. Then came the scooters. Because of the limitations that the city had originally set down when the park opened in 2004, animosity between the two groups, skateboarders and scooter riders quickly began to grow and the city was seen as having taken sides in the situation.

Because of the popularity of scooters as a Christmas gift, the issue of skateboarders versus scooter riders came to a head. On Dec. 27, police were called to the skatepark following a complaint about scooter riders. Scooter riders were then asked to leave.

Skate Park Plans Sent Back

[Download Issue]

CT1202webcoverMonterey Park will be the location of the City’s new skate park as plans were considered, amended, and sent back for redesign before progressing to the next level. As originally envisioned, last November, the skatepark would have occupied 9,000 square feet along the between New Brighton Middle School and the southwestern boundary of Monterey Park. The design would have accommodated all skill levels but Councilmember Kirby Nicol amended the proposed concept at the Jan. 26 council meeting changing it to 6,000 square feet with a skill level design more for pre-teens. The amendment was passed 3-2 with aye votes by councilmembers Nicol, Michael Termini and Dennis Norton and with Sam Storey and Stephanie Harlan opposing. The downscaled project was sent back for re-design.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)

02-piscesIntriguing changes are happening quite subtly. Your ruler Neptune, slips into your sign and a shift in your attitudes and beliefs is likely. You may be a little lethargic and not at all competitive or motivated but this is fine. You have a way of having your finger on the pulse and can easily tune into the mood of the moment. You have an intuitive link to others which could be the start of something very important. The Sun moves into Pisces on the 19th and this is the start of a new phase for you. In the meantime, set your intentions and and also your boundaries.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

03-ariesIt's time to change the rules a little and do something different. You are encouraged to be self expressive and allow your differences to shine, rather than trying to conform to what others expect from you. Initially, fantastic chemistry makes a relationship sizzle, and you have plans for a weekend away and a chance to get to know someone. Venus enters your sign on the 8th and you can look forward to a period of greater cooperation and a willingness from others to go with your ideas. After the 19th, you are a little more spiritual and reflective.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

04-taurusChanges in your working life maybe something to do with your recent plans, or you find that you are having these disruptions forced on you. See this as a starting point for a new way of being. Perhaps ideas and dreams have been on the back burner while you attend to more practical concerns around money, but this could change this month. Jupiter is helpful in your sign and encourages growth and making the best of what you have. As such you are amazingly resourceful.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

05-geminiAt last, you see your way forward, and while you have felt the situation hasn't been quite right previously, helpful influences ensure that you are on the right track. Sometimes you need confirmation this is so. Everything happens at the time it needs to although you have been justifiably impatient. You could be signing up for a course or learning new skills, which are more in line with what you really enjoy rather than what you are obliged to do. After the 19th, check out opportunities around work and see how circumstances conspire to put you in the spotlight.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

06-cancerYou instinctively feel that this is turning out to e a year of change and as such you are in the process of a leaving a situation but you will soon enter a new one. This could be around a relationship, or your working life, or simply you could be ditching outworn beliefs that no longer serve you. Welcome what is coming as it shows that you are on the right path. Take note of the Full Moon on the 7th as this falls in your chart area of finances, and what you do to earn a living. Working for yourself is becoming more of a possibility.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 23)

07-leoThis is an important month for you Leo, as you and your special other take steps to deepen your relationship. The Sun in your opposite sign can give you clues about who you are and how others see you and you must take credit for how special you are, and what a difference you make. You know everyone needs to be appreciated, and you could do with a little more than you have been getting! The Full Moon on the 7th is your time to shine and brings matters to a head. After the 19th a shift in energy results in an important decision and a new way forward.

Virgo (Aug. 24-Sep. 22)

08-virgoYou feel at home this month, Virgo, and see that the world seems to be on the same wavelength as you, or much of it is. Your ruler, Mercury, joins the Sun in Aquarius — emotionally you are cool headed and practical, and can make sound judgments, but it always pays to do things a little differently with new information. Leading a healthy lifestyle is preferable as prevention is better than cure, so by practicing everything in moderation you will avoid your body and mind getting too stressed.

Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 23)

09-libraYou cannot help learning just by watching, listening and absorbing what is going on around you. Some lessons take longer than others, and you may need more practice but even so, when you get chance to look back you see how far you have come. This month continues to offer you hope and opportunities and you see things in a wider context. The Aquarian Sun is inclusive of everyone, a great leveller and your natural fair mindedness has a chance to shine and put right what is necessary. Venus enters your opposite sign on the 8th, enhancing your relationships.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

10-scorpioThis month, Neptune, the most spiritual plenty enters Pisces. This is harmonious with your sign and you will find that relationships and situations that are guided by emotion play out much more than those based on logic. How you feel is more important than what you do and your goal needs to be find a peaceful heart and mind. Be authentic in what you do and how you express yourself, particularly around mid month. Take nothing for granted and work with what you are naturally good at.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

11-sagittariusYou are travelling more than usual and there are plenty of people you want to see. Your plans are getting off the ground but you are waiting for some important information. Practical matters are being attended to and this is a great time to start an early spring clean or change your environment. Lend a helping hand to those who are just starting out. Creating better circumstances by taking on board good advice from experts and those who have had experience. Let your ambitions start to take shape.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

12-capricornYou are beginning to see your plans take shape and this month you are focusing on your finances. It may be necessary to budget a little or invest wisely, but you are also keen to help out someone who could do with a bit of good luck. Your common sense approach can give clear guidance to others which is welcome and useful. Have you ever thought of writing a book? If this is one of your recent ideas, it's worth pursuing. You add a new string to your bow through an unexpected opportunity.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 18)

01-aquariusThis month Neptune leaves your sign, and the fog clears. Perhaps this new clarity will motivate you to make the changes you know you must, if you are to see the progress you want. Mercury in your sign is also helping you to formulate plans, and play around with fresh ideas. It is as though you are looking for something but haven't yet found it. This makes more sense towards the end of the month when you get tangible results of just starting with a theory. Relationships improve with a feeling of cooperation rather than confrontation.
