Tony Scurich, Principal/Broker – Scurich Insurance – Part 2
Tony has been in the insurance business since 1981 and with Scurich Insurance since 1983. He feels the biggest misconception that the public has today about insurance costs is that a cheaper policy is better; however it is not always the best policy. The public has a perception that insurance agents just try and pad their bank accounts, when really they are just finding gaps in coverage for a customer. This benefits them if a claim is filed in the future, so they are adequately covered.
Tony says that the most critical coverage for a young family is life insurance, especially when you are younger, because it is cheaper to obtain. For an elderly person, long term care is most important and businesses need to have sufficient liability coverage and business interruption. Tony feels the Scurich Insurance brings a lot of value and education to their customers with a staff that is always there to understand and solve customer issues.
A Watsonville bank robbed on Friday is offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest in the takeover-style armed heist, the FBI announced this week.
FBI agents and Watsonville police detectives are investigating the afternoon holdup at Bay Federal Credit Union in the Freedom Center. The two robbers came into the bank around 1:15 p.m., brandished a gun, ordered about 15 customers and employees to the ground, then stole an undisclosed amount of cash, police reported. As they fled, the robbers fired a single gunshot into the floor, police said. No one was injured, according to the FBI.
Witnesses described the suspects as two males, possibly Hispanic or light-skinned African American. Both were wearing dark “hoodie” pull-over sweatshirts. Witnesses observed a late model, Black Nissan Altima leaving the scene, possibly driven by a get-away driver, meaning there were three men involved in the heist.
Investigators ask anybody with information as to the identity or whereabouts of the robbers to call 911. They should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. The FBI can be reached 24 hours a day at 415-553-7400. All calls are confidential. The Watsonville Police Department crime tip line is 831-768-3354 or the investigations bureau can be reached at 831-768-3350.

Former Watsonville Mayor Luis Alejo made a special appearance at the Watsonville City Council meeting Tuesday night to recognize the city’s police department for the its crime-fighting prowess. The city recorded its lowest crime rate in 30 years in 2010.
“Thanks to the Watsonville Police Department for doing a tremendous job fighting violence in our community,” Alejo said in a prepared statement released before Tuesday’s event. “…I commend the great work of the Watsonville Police Department for its superior record of law enforcement.”
Alejo highlighted some of the most significant achievements:
•The overall crime rate was down 15 percent last year.
•Youth arrests dropped 34 percent.
•Violent crime fell by 8 percent.
•Property crimes were down 17 percent.
•Homicides dropped 75 percent when compared to 2009.
The fire sparked in a back room at Apple Growers Ice & Cold Storage Co., at 850 W. Beach St., around 3:30 p.m on Wednesday 4/20/2011. The blaze is a challenge for fire crews. The massive building, about 100 yards long and a block wide, was constructed in the 1920s using heavy timbers, solid concrete and cork—which is packed into the walls to keep the facility cool.
The flames ignited in a back room packed with Martinelli’s apple cider. In fact, most of the building was full of apple juice from the company, which has a manufacturing facility across the street. Heavy smoke billowed from the cavernous building for more than an hour as fire crews from Salinas to Scotts Valley got in place.
About two hours in, three ladder trucks lined up along the roof-line of the building. The first sprayed water onto the smoldering structure as a half-dozen firefighters used to the second truck’s ladder to get onto the roof. The roof burst into flames, shooting fire at least 20 feet into the air while black smoke billowed towards town. The firefighters retreated from the roof, repositioned the truck and used its ladder to shoot a second stream of water onto the fire. As the fire pushed through the building, the third ladder truck set up on West Beach Street to hose down the flames licking through the aging structure. At the high point, 16 fire engines, three trucks and a small legion of brass from every most every fire department in the region. The cause of the fire was unclear Wednesday night.
