OTL#876 - Monica Martinez

As a lifelong public servant and Felton resident, I’m running for 5th District Supervisor because, like you, I’ve lived through the challenges of the last few years: the pandemic, CZU fire, winter storms. The 5th District is where I’m raising my children, and I want them to grow up in a thriving, resilient community. It’s also where I’ve witnessed county government fall short in helping to rebuild lost homes, and the failing of basic infrastructure like roads, power, broadband, and water. I want to change that - to be a strong voice for the 5th District to accelerate recovery, strengthen resilience, and represent all voices. We deserve better.

OTL#870 - "Who's Who in Santa Cruz" - Kim Rutherford (Episode 18)

Open Ocean Swimmer ……While some of us dance around it, Kim is forthcoming about her competitive nature, and is quick to acknowledge the desire to be “the first”, “the oldest”, “the fastest” in a sport where the water is open and we just have to seize the opportunities before us. Kim sure makes it sound easy to look past the walls you hit during a big undertaking, but selflessly attributes her dogged determination to everyone who has made her impossible swims possible.

OTL#869 - Dave Ebert

Dave Ebert is known as the ‘Lost Shark Guy’ and throughout his career he has searched for, and frequently found, those unknown or little-known sharks, rays and ghost sharks that most people know almost nothing about. How did I get interested in sharks? It started with his parents who gave me a book when he was about five years old. Thumbing through the pages and looking at the various illustrations, he thought these were the coolest critters he had ever seen! He was hooked at an early age and decided to make it my lifelong passion to travel and search for these unusual sharks.
He has always been an explorer at heart and what better way to explore the world than to travel and search for ‘lost sharks’! ‘What is a “lost shark”?’ you might ask. It is basically most species except for those charismatic ones, such as the white shark, that feature in numerous documentaries and in shark attack horror movies. With the exception of Shark Week’s successful Alien Shark< and Extinct or Alive series that feature rare species such as the megamouth and goblin sharks, most shows of this nature only feature the large, toothy variety of sharks. he made it his mission to search for, discover and document the ‘lost sharks’.
