The grass is greener when we’re on the same field
Distributing limited resources fairly and equitably in a way that best serves students, staff, families and the community is an ongoing challenge for any school board. On July 21, the Pajaro Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees will review and discuss the Elementary...
Letter: Fairgrounds and community will suffer the most
I came to the Pajaro Valley in late 2000 to serve this community as editor of the Register-Pajaronian. For the next decade, my staff and I covered a series of fair managers and scandals at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds and it seemed the...

Gratitude, and Committed to the Work Ahead
Maria came to us with a molar that had been throbbing for months. She'd been managing the pain with ibuprofen—not because she was ignoring it, but because she couldn't find a dentist who accepted Medi-Cal. As a farmworker in South County, she couldn't afford...
