Boulder Creek Community Radio Station Begins To Take Shape
Boulder Creek Community Radio Station Begins To Take Shape
May 15, 2013, Boulder Creek, CA- San Lorenzo Valley community members began to discuss plans to obtain an FCC license that became available for a community radio station at 90.1 FM. Community members have had several meetings and are excited to purchase a transmitter, determine a transmission site, obtain a broadcast studio and begin broadcasting. Ongoing funds would be sought by obtaining local underwriters and pledge drives. The radio signal would transmit to a large part of the San Lorenzo Valley. Members feel this would be a valuable service for local schools to publicize their fundraising events, for public safety information, road closure and weather information as well as to publicize local events put on by the Boulder Creek Recreation Center and other community non-profits.
BREAKING: Prowler around Boulder Creek = Dimitri Storm
Well it turns out the prowler we reported on yesterday is indeed Dimitri Storm, a career criminal who is wanted in connection with a series of break-ins and robberies around this area. We’ve just received an update from Santa Cruz Sheriffs and it appears that last night Dimitri dumped the stolen blue SUV he was driving on the 200 block of West Hilton at the Boulder Creek Country Club.
If you see Dimitri call 911 – do not attempt to approach, this man is dangerous.
Also, if your licenses plates have been stolen, please call the Santa Cruz County sheriffs. Dimitri is known to steal license plates and then put them on the cars he steals.

BREAKING: Fire caused by discarded cigarette
The Boulder Creek Fire Protection District’s Kevin McClish has issued a statement regarding this morning’s fire at the Coldwell Banker office in downtown Boulder Creek. From his note:
This mornings fire at the Coldwell Banker building was caused by a discarded cigarette, in the alley under the stairs, between Coldwell Banker and the Oddfellows building. There is evidence in the area of people drinking, smoking, and possible sleeping in that area. . . . If this fire had occurred at 3 am we would have lost several buildings.
Authorities have a pretty good idea who started the fire. All local business owners are being encouraged to check the exterior of their buildings for evidence of people smoking, drinking or sleeping on their properties, and if they have issues with this to notify the Sheriffs office.
A big thanks to Doug Conrad, Mark Kinder and Jim Walters who aggressively attacked the fire until the fire department arrived.
