Rec Hall town forum
The town hall meeting today regarding the proposed Rec Hall was a success. There was a healthy turnout and calm voices both for and against the hall were heard.

Misconceptions of the “Prop. 84 Proposed Project” – February 18, 2010
The BCRPD is very happy to be getting public input on our proposed project to create a new facility in the town core. We have held a series of public meetings to gather input and will continue to do so. Another meeting will be held on February 27 at 10:30 AM at the Rec Hall. In the meantime, I am hearing some common misconceptions about the proposal that I would like to clear up.
There is a misconception that if this proposal goes forward, all the houses currently on the property would be torn down. This is not the case. The draft plan would call for keeping four of the current houses. There is a misconception that all the trees on the proposed property would be cut down. This again is not true. The draft plan calls for keeping all the redwoods and the heritage oaks currently on the property.
Perhaps the most damaging rumor is that somehow the District was trying to, as one person said, “Pull the wool over our eyes.” This is not accurate. The District advertised the proposal and the project meetings by flyers, in the newspapers (all three general circulation papers in the area), and by word of mouth. Our organizational meetings were well attended by members of the public. We are very happy to be receiving input from our neighbors in the area. We will continue to welcome the input of the public we serve in order to arrive at a project that provides the people of the upper San Lorenzo Valley the recreational services they deserve.
Boulder Creek Bluegrass Festival – March 5-7
Yellow Flyers . . the Rec Center
A number of readers have written in asking who was behind a yellow flyer that was posted all over town this week. The flyer was put on car windshields, tucked in mailboxes.. . . etc. It asked that anyone against the proposed Recreation Hall sign a petition online.
We looked in to it:
1. the link on the flyer states that the petition was created by a person named “Vikki”
2. the third signature to the petition is signed by Vikki Krupp and other members of the Krupp family were in the first 10 to sign
We believe that this petition came from Vikki Krupp. A note Vikki wrote regarding her experiencing paranormal activity can be read at the bottom of this article. It appears she may be a “ghostbuster.”
We think the Rec Hall would be good for Boulder Creek. Any opinions? email us.
Shelly from Boulder Creek Liquors
Shelly, who works at Boulder Creek Liquors, is on this week’s Press Banner front page. Congrats!
Those who talk with Shelly know that she is a true animal over. “Shelly’s Guardian Angels” is a program she developed that takes profits from the sale of used books at BC Liquors to pay for the adoption cost of older animals. Click here for the full article at the Press-Banner.
