In The News: Santa Cruz County authorities cite concerns with outdoor marijuana plantations

Looks like some folks growing marijuana around Boulder Creek are creating a problem… not because they are growing marijuana, but because they are tearing down the forest, creating fire hazards, moving dirt into waterways and fouling fish habitat.

From the article:

“Firefighters are there to check for fire safety.

“When I get out of the truck, the first thing I say is, ‘As far as I’m concerned, this is a vineyard,’” he said.

If trees are cut down and the land is converted to a marijuana grow or any other use, the owner needs a timberland conversion permit, according to Cal Fire.”

Drunk Boulder Creek Resident Shuts Down Highway 9

Considering the tragedies this town has experienced with drunk drivers this is a bit disconcerting to know. This happened at 3:40 p.m. – right when children are heading home from school.

From the article:

“According to CHP, Dionisia Verduzco was driving down Highway 9 in Ben Lomond when she crossed the double yellow lines and collided with a big rig traveling southbound Tuesday afternoon.

Verduzco’s Toyota then sideswiped a BMW, which then struck a fire hydrant. After that Verduzco collided head-on with a 4Runner.”
