"The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible."

Has the city of Santa Cruz hit bottom yet?
Thursday, June 3, 2010
Mike Bethke, a local businessman and community advocate, said it seems like the city is at a low point. He likened it to a 12-step program, where a drug addict gets so far down he finally seeks help.
Here is a rundown of some of the crimes that have recently taken place in Santa Cruz:
- Anarchist rioters smashed up mom-and-pop businesses on Pacific Avenue cuasing more than $100,000 in damage
- Vandals spray-painted tags around a city block downtown
- Someone sliced the brake lines on a UC Santa Cruz biology researcher's vehicle
- A methamphetamine dealer was gunned down during a drug deal along Branciforte Creek
- A Santa Cruz High School graduate was gunned down by gang members in a neighborhood park
- Four of the city's past six homicides were gang-related and all taking the lives of men ages 16-20
