A foolish interview, but we get to see what she looks like after all these years. SANTA CRUZ CLIFF JUMPING. Looks familiarlike maybe I ran this before AND its still thrillingThis enthusiastic British girl tells us a few things that are neat about Santa Cruz. DATELINE Oct. 2, 2. GARFIELD CIRCLE CHURCH SALE. Somethings fishy about the sale of the Garfield Park Christian Circle Church is what I heard over and over again from some residents who live in and on the circle street Errett that surrounds the church. Why was the selling price so far below the market value It sold, and is in escrow for a listed price of 2,9. Who bought it  Is there a brewery owner involved in the sale and purchaseWhere is the money going from the sale Why are they ripping out the church pews Many complaints from the treatment of the community from Pastor Steves time as head guy to Christopher Drury who runs it now. There was no debt on the building,  the neighbors say. It had wide community use by all sorts of groups, now available times are severally limited. Why the new paint job on the church since it was only five years since the last one There are more questions and because this is such a prime piece of Santa Cruz community and such a piece of our historythese questions and many more need answering, and more publicity shed on this sad  Drury dilemma. NINA SIMON ON OCTAGON AND MAH CHANGES. I mentioned last week that Im back sitting in front of The Octagon a few random hours each week. Its greatfolks stop by and give me all sorts of topics, secrets, and ideas for Bratton. Online. I also get plenty of questions about the changes that MAH and Nina Simon made to the MAH ABBOTT neighborhood In answer to my query to her about what happened to the huge black letter M that stood next to the red ball at the corner of Cooper and Front Street she repliedWhen we designed and built the new deck wrapping around the corner, we wanted to invite people to easily hang out and people watch from there. We also wanted to make the deck as big as possible. We found a way for the ball which is iconic to the site and beloved by many to remain. But not the M. It was removed as part of the project. In answer to even more questions about whats going into the Octagon itself she emailed The Octagon is leased as part of Abbott Square Market and it is my understanding that they are actively developing it with local chefs, to open in 2. As it happened after her reply I asked two guys working inside the Octagonthey said that TWO locally owned restaurants will be opening in there by next month November I guess well wait and see. BUFFALO BILL AND SANTA CRUZ VISITS. David Terrazas and I got to talking not about politics  about Buffalo Bill William F. Cody and his visits to his Santa Cruz sisters. Id never seen or heard about Bill visiting hereand had never seen any local photosor knew that he was one of seven children. Sophia M. Decker and Lydia Goudling were his Santa Cruz sisters. Sophia died here at her sisters home on Seabright avenue. David  T. also had the library print copies of his PEERLESS PAGEANT OF PLEASURE appearing at the Liebrandt Circus Grounds. His Sells Floto Circus featured his Indians, Zora Bravest woman in the world, Ranch Girls, and Beasts of the Jungle performed by MME. Ricardo and Captain Dutch. Before all of that happened they would stage a Circus Parade two miles long WILDER RANCH HISTORY AND THE S. F. CHRONICLE. Tom Stienstra in his OUTDOORS column for the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday, September 2. Wilder Ranch State Park. He titled it A Hidden Gem for Bikers and Hikers. He describes not just the scope of the park but the protocol for hikers, horse people and mountain bikers. That is bikers give way to hikers and equestrians hikers give way to horses. He repeats Ranger conversations and its all very nice BUT never once does he or any ranger tell of the huge battle and victory we locals had in fighting the development of 1. Gotta Catch Santa Claus Theater Movie there. No mention of the 1. Bob Bosso and The Hollywood Turf Club that he represented slammed on us that we had to fight we won. That battle against development was significant. I wrote Stienstra about all of it. We should wonder now what would our City Council or Board of Supes do today if Apple, Microsoft, Google wanted to build the equivalent of 1. Silicon Beach Ranch or some such monstrosity THE SPIRIT OF SANTA CRUZ by CARMELLA WEINTRAUB. My decades long time friend Carmella Weintraub wrote this piece and sent it to Gary Patton and me. Carmella is a long time Santa Cruzan, mother and designer. Gary ran it on Facebook and I want to share it with all of you here. Its so well written and covers the beliefs and feelings so many of us have. Dont miss itread it allSAVING THE SOUL OF SANTA CRUZCarmella Weintraub. It is said that the soul of a place is the sum total of the essence of its highest ideals and should be an expression of its commitment to the good, the true and the beautiful. This quality of soul comes only after the evolution through phases of its development, some of which is challenging and some a natural progress. Then, on both the personality level and the cultural level, integration comes and the soul essence solidifies into a clear and palpable sense of integrity and direction. After facing many changes and challenges in the last 2. I feel the soul of Santa Cruz in on the line and I want respectfully offer my perspective. I came to Santa Cruz in 1. Woodstock Festival, an event that heralded the arrival and growing strength of the counterculture and the beginning of the Aquarian Age. This coincided with my serendipitous landing in a town that seemed on the verge of virtually living the values of that time. I must say, I resonated. The energy here was so positive and real. The town, which I had known since the 1. Paradise Park had not changed that much since that time. It was still a sleepy little burg, full of senior citizens, retirees in their quaint little one of a kind cottages and students and faculty of the newly minted University and a main drag that sported some nice stores, Leasks and the Morris Abrams store in addition to the Cooper House and numerous small businesses. I found a city that was bordered on one side by the Pacific Ocean and on the other by giant redwood forests. Between these was a magical strip, which included many charming homes and multiple historic public buildings, built between the Victorian age and the 1. In addition, there was a huge amusement part called the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, an iconic symbol of the natural and playful part of human nature. The City on the Hill, the University community, overlooked this whole picture.
