Highway Cleanup – July 15 2017<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Yesterday morning 4 of us Scotts Valley Kiwanians, Marshall, Myself, Mike III, and ring leader Linda along with special guest star Sherry Simoni\u00a0 received good Karma by \u00a0cleaning \u00a0up our usual\u00a0 stretch of Highway 17. I have attached photos and two more will follow on a second email. \u00a0Together we picked up \u00a0I think the longest stretch of Highway 17 that I can recall, the total take being 11 bags of refuse.\u00a0 Observations: The Highway was cleaner than in many seasons in the past, \u00a0less litter overall. This time out some of us came home with treasure. Mike III found a screw driver that is as long as a Roman short sword, Marshall some cargo tie downs which are in excellent shape, Linda a pair of sweet Tortoise shell Jackie O type sunglasses, which I unsuccessfully tried to trade an unopened can of Modello for. She gave me the glasses anyway. I plan to give them to my wife, as a kind of early combined Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas present. Don\u2019t let her know that! \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Less fast food rubbish was collected by me. Empty bottles of upscale mineral waters were picked up. Almost no hard liquor bottles collected, The beer remains were largely inexpensive canned domestic, again unlike the bottled imports of yesteryear with the sole exception of that stash of a bunch of Modellos. It looks like someone had a Highway side Modello party! \u00a0The tobacco trend continues: A huge decrease in cigarette waste, and NO chaw (Copenhagen) Conclusions: While the Stock Market is testing new highs, the economic recovery continues, with the return of valuable items discarded. \u00a0\u00a0Today\u2019s more socially conscious Litterbugs are showing a tendency for a healthier lifestyle, while their \u00a0economic wellbeing \u00a0improves apace . Thanks for reading, with love to you all! \u00a0John. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Volunteers from local service organizations \u2014 including the Kiwanis Club of Scotts Valley, the UCSC chapter of Circle K, the Key Clubs from San Lorenzo Valley and Scotts Valley high schools, Surf City Kiwanis, Scotts Valley Host Lions Club, Valley Churches United Missions, Boy Scout Troop 623, and Cub Scout Pack 623 \u2014 lent their time and efforts.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

According to Scotts Valley Vice Mayor Dene Bustichi, who was directing the work, the volunteers dug trenches, laid the irrigation systems, installed fences, and removed a section of curb where the wheelchair ramp will be installed.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWe had between 30 and 40 people here working on this,\u201d he said. \u201cAll kinds of people were calling in about it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Once completed, Bustichi said that the garden will be operated by the city’s parks and recreation department and will provide several dozen planting areas that residents can use for planting \u2014 something he said he believes will be popular for the residents of the surrounding apartments and townhouses.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThis gives folks \u2014 kids, seniors, anyone \u2014 the ability to come and garden,\u201d Bustichi said.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The garden will be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, he said, and will boast paved pathways, as well as several raised garden plots and water spigots that will be accessible to those who have difficulties reaching the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Bustichi said that the city had been planning for the community garden for several months prior to Marcum’s passing in January, but that naming the garden in her honor felt very appropriate.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Bustichi said that there was still much work to be done, and that there would be several additional volunteer days.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWe’ll be working for the next several Saturdays,\u201d he said, adding that he hoped that the project would be ready to open by early May.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
