Hyink Scholarship given by the California Internship and Work Experience Association (CIWEA). The COC Cooperative Work Experience Education (CWEE) department is a member of CIWEA, California’s leading professional association for educators and employers dedicated to supporting internship and work experience programs in higher education. Gina Bogna, acting assistant dean of COC’s Internships, Job Development, and Career Center, encouraged 10 students from the college to apply for the award’s two-year college category, which was open to students from California’s 113 community colleges. Only one winner – Wiscar- Smyth Launches Council Run By Lee Barnathan Contributor The way Cameron Smyth sees it, Santa Clarita is at a crossroads. It’s no longer the small town in which he grew up (in fact, it’s the third largest city in L.A. County). Its population (213,231) is on the way to a quarter million in a valley of about 300,000. The way Smyth sees it, the decisions the City Council makes will determine how similar the city remains to its small-town roots. He wants in on those decisions, so the former City Councilmember is entering the race. “Now’s the time, and the City Council is the right place,” he said. “The Council needs to focus on the big issues and not get caught in the minutiae.” son – was selected to receive the $1,000 award. Her 750-word essay about working as an interpreter highlighted the resilience of the deaf and hard-of-hearing students with whom she worked. Smyth’s path to his candidacy began after Jan. 1 when he started making calls and reconnecting with the community, even though he has lived locally since ending his service in the state Assembly in 2012 (he’s currently vice president of state affairs for Molina Healthcare). What he has heard is the need to keep the city safe. continued on page 3 continued on page 3 Need Cash? S.C.

Wiscarson credited her mentor with guiding her through the internship experience: “She did everything in her power for these kids, and she did everything in her power for me.” The successful internship confirmed Wiscarson’s career goal of working as an interpreter with elementary school children.

Is that an anomaly or a trend?” Another subject not being talked about, Smyth said, is drug use among young people in the area’s high school and college campuses. “These are very real issues,” he said. the same people with whom he served, including Kellar and Marsha McLean. Both said Smyth did his homework, was knowledgeable about the issues and put the citizens first. Opinions about Smyth’s chances vary. He obviously has received enough positive reaction to think he has a good chance. Kellar said he and Smyth are holding a joint fundraiser at a private residence on May 14. Should Smyth win, he will find some of “Cameron Smyth is the business-asusual candidate,” Petzold said. “He didn’t talk about chlorides (in the water). He didn’t talk about maybe we go to a charter city. He didn’t talk about maybe we go to district (voting).” Smyth’s response: Nonsense. “I’m anything but,” he said. “Consider the experience I have: my reputation, who did everything he thought was right and didn’t care which side of the aisle it came from. That’s been my philosophy.” Smyth enters an already crowded race: Although no one can officially file papers until July 18, Mayor Bob Kellar and Councilmember TimBen Boydston have said they are running for re-election; Canyon Country retired aerospace worker Alan Ferdman also has announced his candidacy. Additionally, Saugus realtor Steve Petzold and Newhall Water District Board member Maria Gutzeit have filed “statement of intention to run” papers, although Petzold said he filed papers assuming the city would go to district voting; since it didn’t, he isn’t running. The deadline to file with the city is Aug. 12. The election is Nov. 8, and the top two vote getters win seats. of change the way Boydston is or Ferdman would be. Ferdman believes Smyth has been out of the game too long to be remembered, and he needs to be held accountable for his record. Ferdman said he is examining Smyth’s record now but said Smyth in 2014 favored Measure S, which would have torn down between 62 and 118 billboards along the Metrolink railroad tracks and replaced them with three digital billboards along the 14 and 5 freeways. The voters soundly rejected the measure. Petzold, a supporter of Boydston and Ferdman, thinks Smyth will be formidable but doesn’t think he’s an agent “Why he made the decision to support it? He will have to answer,” Ferdman said. GET DEBT HELP NOW! Call today and ask us how!

Free exam if brought to us within 7 days of adoption anta Clarita residents are encouraged to offer input at a community meeting hosted by The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. The public can weigh in on a draft expenditure plan that outlines more than $120 billion in transit, highway and local projects over the next four decades and would be funded through a potential sales tax ballot measure that may go before voters on November 8. The meeting will be held at The Centre, located at 20880 Centre Pointe Parkway in Santa Clarita. The ballot measure under consideration would ask voters to increase the countywide sales tax by a half cent for 40 years and to continue the existing Measure R tax. The existing Measure R tax is a half-cent sales tax for Los Angeles County used to finance new transportation projects and programs, and accelerate those already in the pipeline — for an additional 18 years, both of which would run through 2057. In total, the 40year plan would fund nearly 40 major highway and transit projects and another 36 transportation programs to improve the movement of people, goods and services. In addition to new transit and highway projects, the expenditure draft plan includes commuter rail; transit operations and projects to keep buses, Tanner is all about the puppy kisses.

Representatives from the SCV Walk Committee and the Alzheimer’s Association will be in attendance. “This is going to be a great evening and a chance to help our team captains build their teams and raise funds,” says Ferrante. “We really appreciate everyone who is stepping forward and helping make The Walk to End Alzheimer’s a success.” The 2016 Walk is scheduled for Saturday, October 8 at Bridgeport Park in Valencia. Registration is open at act. alz.org/scv. Karen Spalter, who is organizing ‘Team Make a Difference,” will be attending the meeting. This is Karen’s second year of participation. Her husband Matt was diagnosed with early onset front temporal dementia in 2012. She and Matt have experienced all the stages of emotions that come with the diagnosis, from denial and disbelief to depression, and finally, acceptance. “I joined the local Alzheimer’s Association support group and found guidance and valuable information to guide me through this journey,” Karen Spalter says. Abi Caruthers is founder of a local business called L.O.V.E. Weight Loss and has signed on as a sponsor for The Walk. She also plans to be at the meeting. When Abi’s grandmother, who she calls Nana, started to display symptoms of dementia she ignored them, hoping it would just go away. Eventually it progressed and Nana was diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Though her company is in the business of helping people, Caruthers’ inability to help Nana has made her feel helpless. She believes that being involved with the Alzheimer’s Association and The Walk relieves that feeling of helplessness and gives her hope and direction. “Abi Caruthers of L.O.V.E Weight Loss really understands what it means to be a part of the Santa Clarita community and how important it is to support the Alzheimer’s Association,” Ferrante says. “We really appreciate Abi and her team for their participation.” May 6 - May 12, 2016 Applications Due for Hometown Heroes Banner T he City of Santa Clarita’s Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program is accepting orders for banners to be installed for Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day. In order to have a banner installed in honor of Memorial Day, banners for actively-serving military members from Santa Clarita Valley must be ordered by Monday, May 9, 2016. The Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program offers local friends and families of those currently serving in the military the opportunity to have one streetlight pole banner hung along a major thoroughfare in one of Santa Clarita’s communities, including: Canyon Country, Valencia, Saugus and Newhall. Each banner features the military member’s photograph, name, rank and branch of the military they serve. To qualify, banner honorees must be active duty military personnel in the United States Armed Forces; they must be a current Santa Clarita resident, or an immediate family member of a current Santa Clarita resident and must have lived in the Santa Clarita Valley at some point. “I’m very excited about this program, which will honor our currently-serving military,” said Mayor Bob Kellar. “The community has really come together for this program, providing donations to help underwrite the cost of the banners for those in need. This is a great way to pay homage to those who are serving our country.” As an ongoing program, Hometown Heroes Military banner orders will be accepted at any time. Banners can be purchased by individuals, family members or organizations. Order forms can be found at santa-clarita. com. For more information about the Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program, contact Communications Manager Gail Morgan at (661) 2554314 or gmorgan@santa-clarita.com. Supporting the work the Alzheimer’s Association does to assist patients and their families is important to Spalter and Caruthers.

Contact Anita Smith at anita@anitasmithhomes or 661-803-8498 for information about the meeting or starting a team. For general information, including sponsoring or exhibiting at the The Walk, contact SCV Walk Chair Rick Ferrante at rferrante@homecaresantaclarita.com or Brian Welch, Senior Walk Manager, Alzheimer’s Association at bwelch@alz.org. Award-Winning Panel to Address Aspiring Musicians p M usicians of all skill sets are invited to attend the free New Heights: The Pros and Cons of Managing Your Own Music Career Workshop on Wednesday, March 11 from 7-9 p.m. in the Century Room at Santa Clarita City Hall, located at 23920 Valencia Boulevard. Ruben Zarate is a singer/songwriter and a member of the Santa Barbara-based band, Dante Elephante. The band is punk at heart, but with a timeless, organic sound. His musical influences include Brian Wilson, John Lennon, The Pixies and The Pastels. The panel discussion will serve as a resource for musicians who are currently managing their own music career or are interested in managing their career. This unique workshop will provide attendees with valuable insight into the management side of music. The lessons, tools and techniques from this session are intended to provide personal insight, both positive and negative, from an experienced panel of musicians from a variety of genres. Justin Rubenstein, a member and manager of The Blasting Company, a sixpiece brass band, will also be a featured panelist. The Blasting Company got its start in 2007 as a traveling family band whose original and traditional folk music derives its sounds from New Orleans and Eastern Europe. While The Blasting Company tours internationally and scores for film and television, the band stays true to its roots as a street band. The musical group recently completed the soundtrack for the Emmy-winning animated miniseries “Over the Garden Wall,” soon to be released on vinyl. The panel discussion will feature Scotty Kormos, Mike Fleming, Ruben Zarate and Justin Rubenstein. Scotty Kormos has spent the last decade in Los Angeles working on numerous high profile projects with writers, producers and musicians. Kormos was the house band drummer on the CMT show, “The Singing Bee,” and has over 55 national television performances to his credit. His drumming, producing and engineering skills make him a top call artist in Los Angeles. Kormos also heads up Los Angeles-based Bright Light Entertainment, Inc. Mike Fleming is a singer/songwriter from Colorado. His songs pay tribute to the men and women of the American West and all that they bring to our culture. His years as a solo musician, as well as the leader of the band New West, have taken him all over the United States and Canada. Fleming has won two Will Rogers awards from the Academy of Western Artists for his songs and another with New West. The New Heights discussion series is an annual Artist Development series through the City of Santa Clarita. New Heights is designed to assist artists, performers and arts organization representatives to expand their knowledge and to learn valuable tools to increase their ability to be successful. The series includes workshops, panel discussions, lectures and classes that are aimed to engage creative individuals, no matter the level of experience.

Here’s what happened in our home town on this week in history… IN EONS GONE BY … • There are many conflicting dates about when the SCV’s first judicial district and judge started. But, the Soledad Judicial District was created on May 8, 1875 with John Powell holding court. Powell was not the first judge in the SCV, but he was the most famous. Powell was the valley’s jurist for 40 years and never had a case of his overturned in a higher court. He led troops in seven Civil War battles (for the north). On his dying bed, he recounted that the best thing he had ever done was free 704 slaves in Africa bound for the states. His assistant in that raid? One Dr. Stanley Livingston, of “Dr. Livingston, I presume,” fame. • It was and is one of the most important Native American discoveries in U.S. history. On May 2, 1884, Castaic brothers Everette and McCoy Pyle discovered a huge Tataviam cache above present-day Chiquita Landfill on Highway 126. The place was later called Bowers Cave after the Ventura doctor to whom the boys sold their treasure. History offers two figures: $35 and $1,500. Because of poor security concerns in the SCV, those artifacts are still in boxes somewhere in the basement at Harvard’s Peabody Museum. • The San Francisquito Mining District was established on May 2, 1842, commemorating the discovery of gold by Don Francisco Lopez and three partners, possibly in Placerita Canyon. While it has been celebrated as the first gold discovery in Southern California, gold mining had been going on in the SCV as far back as the late 1700s. Lopez got $54 from the governor and a serious land-grant near Piru. 90 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1926 ... • Hard to believe, but we had TWO open-all-night eateries in the SCV. Besides the Saugus Café, there was the long-defunct Newhall Café. Because the new State Route 6 ran through downtown Newhall, we had an increase of all-night traffic. • While he didn’t move in until 1928, Hall of Fame cowboy Andy Jauregui began work on his new ranch house in Placerita Canyon. The world-famous rodeo star, impresario and movie stuntman/stock provider would live there until his death in 1990. • The Hoffman Universal Picture Company put the old abandoned Sterling Borax Works back to work. They used the town as a set for a major silent movie, starring Lillian Rich. 80 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1936 ... • It was like having Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise and George Clooney at your elementary school. Three of the world’s top box office stars (and all of them locals at one time) showed up at Newhall Elementary for a special screening of “Powder Smoke Range.” That would be Harry Carey, Hoot Gibson and Tom Mix. Admission was rather steep for the Depression — 40 cents for adults, and a quarter for kids. 70 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1946 ... • Long before there was Uber, we had Newhall Taxi. Bruce Brinkman started the SCV’s first cab company on this date, using a swank and brand new two-tone green Chevy. Bruce and his wife were also the SCV’s first cabbies and provided 24-hour service. • Funny how we take street names for granted. For instance, that little road separating Placerita Jr. High and Newhall Park is Dalbey Drive. It’s named after Lester Dalbey. On this week in history, he was named Hart High’s first principal and was responsible for much of the look and feel of the august campus. • Sadly, arson is an ancient, vile and sick crime. The law was searching for a pervert from yesteryear. He set fire to the Philbert Ranch Stables in Placerita Canyon. A valuable riding horse was burned alive in his stall. 60 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1956 ... • The residents of Sand Canyon were none too happy. L.A. County ordered them to change from their single, double and triple addresses to more modern five-digit addresses. On May 4, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt (right) stayed at the historic Acton Hotel to catch up with an old friend, Norman Rosy Melrose (left). The two went hunting. Earlier, Melrose was one of the California delegates at the GOP convention who nominated TR for the presidency. Rosy was also the pistol fighter who shot the mayor of Acton, Gene Broom, in a rather one-sided gunfight a few years earlier. The coroner was rather humorous about the three bullets in the mayor’s heart. “Good grouping” read his report. This photo was taken around the 1920s of the Acton Hotel. In an act of arson and extortion, the classic resort would be burnt to the ground in 1945 by its manager. Up for some trivia? Theodore HATED being called “Teddy.” • In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the #1 cause of admission to the little Newhall Hospital was the selfinflicted gunshot wound. While there were the regular hunting and gun-cleaning mishaps, TV was to blame. Depending on the year, 70-90 percent of the top shows were Westerns and all Westerns had in common the fast draw. It became a national craze. The SCV, with all its lonely canyons, became a favored place for SoCal-onite gunslinging wannabes to practice. Eugene Paynter was the latest victim. Mimicking Hugh O’Brien’s Wyatt Earp character, but not too successfully, Paynter was trying his fast draw, using Buntline Special knock-offs. Paynter pulled both longbarreled pistols simultaneously, didn’t quite clear the holsters, then shot matching holes through his thighs, calves and feet. Ain’t it grand to have a hobby? • Abe Lefton entertained audiences from here to Calgary and Madison Square Garden with his melodious voice. He was also one of the world’s top rodeo announcers and lived in a humble little cabin in Placerita Canyon. He had a special dinner in his honor hosted by Montie Montana, Roy Rogers, the Sons of the Pioneers and Gene Autry. Autry took care of Lefton in his declining years, as Abe suffered through a debilitating palsy, although the singing cowboy didn’t really want his good deeds to go public. That Gene was good medicine. A HALF CENTURY AGO THIS WEEK, 1966 ... • My dear friend, hero and Treat Patroller, Genene Doty, made history. Today, Acton’s premier citizen, Mrs. Genene Staats won $25 for designing the 1966 Hart High Booster Club Pin. It’s still a veritable work of art. • A few old-timers remember the Corral Drive-In up San Francisquito Canyon. Briefly, it was called The Valencia Drive-In. Fifty years back, it was showing “Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion.” Clarence, by the by, was a local and lived up Soledad Canyon. In a cage. • The SCV’s road to the Pacific, Highway 126, used to be called “Suicide Highway” for all its fatalities. A few miles across the valley, another roadway had a grisly nickname. Highway 14 was called “Slaughter Highway.” On this date, there were two head-ons on 14, both involving local fatalities caused by drunk drivers. We should have added Highway 99.

By Andrea Slominski Contributor W hat is the media’s responsibility to the people? It seems that the creeping deregulation of TV and radio has left us with a purely market-driven communication system that feels no obligation whatsoever to serve or inform the public in a fair and balanced manner. From the beginning of radio broadcasting, the idea of “serving the public interest” has been fundamental to those station owners and operators who are granted licenses to broadcast using the airwaves in the U.S. In a report from the FCC on the current policy and regulatory landscape, you can follow the original intent of President Herbert Hoover when he granted the right in 1924: “The test of the broadcasting privilege [must] be based on the needs of the public served by the proposed station.” What came next was a journey through the deregulation maze to the current free-for-all that has become cable and network news. In 1981, FCC Chairman Mark Fowler, appointed by Ronald Reagan, argued for the deregulation of TV and conversion to a completely market-driven mandate. The FCC report says about Fowler, “In his view, the public interest would be determined by ‘the public’s interest’: if the public did not like the way a broadcaster was operating its station, people would stop watching or listening, and, without the sufficient numbers of eyes and ears, advertisers would stop providing the station revenue. The operation would fail without the need for government safeguards or intervention.” This is the heart of the matter. If all broadcasting is market-driven, and if numbers of viewers increases ratings, and thus station income, where does the public interest fit into this cash-driven scenario? The answer is it doesn’t. Rather than cover world and national events with balanced report- ing in order to keep Americans informed and educated about events in this ever more complex world, we end up with Donald Trump and his outrageous statements 24/7, monopolizing the airwaves, because, like the Kardashians, he is an outrageous celebrity. His outrageous statements have kept him as the lead story in the news and there has not been, even a half-hearted attempt, to balance coverage between the presidential candidates. Even journalists are despairing behind the scenes, unable to control the money machine that has become mainstream news coverage. Campbell Brown, a former CNN News anchor quotes some of her former colleagues in her recent article for Politico, “Why I Blame TV For Trump.” What does this do to our national political discourse when one candidate, by being the most controversial, gets all the news coverage? How can the people be expected to make informed decisions when they cannot hear balanced, unbiased coverage of the candidates and their ideas? Where would this election process be if Rubio, Kasich, Cruz, or Sanders had been the one candidate monopolizing the news cycle for months on end? A better question is where would this election be if the airtime had been balanced between all the candidates? This is the future of our republic we are debating, not a reality TV show. There are real and present dangers to our nation and the world that cannot be solved by building walls, torture or “bomb the shit out of ‘em!” as Trump so famously shouted. lywood Reporter, “‘It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,’ he said of the presidential race. Moonves called the campaign for president a ‘circus’ full of ‘bomb throwing,’ and he hopes it continues. ‘Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates. … Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? ... The money’s rolling in and this is fun. … I’ve never seen anything like this, and this is going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going … Donald’s place in this election is a good thing. … There’s a lot of money in the marketplace,’ the exec said of political advertising so far this presidential season.” “‘It feels like it’s over,’ one old friend from my television days told me recently. Any hope of practicing real journalism on TV is really, finally finished,” Brown’s article says, then continues with the opinions of her colleagues. “‘Look, we’ve always done a lot of stupid shit to get ratings. But now it’s like we’ve just given up and literally handed over control hoping he’ll save us. It’s pathetic, and I feel like hell.’ Said another friend covering the presidential campaign for cable news, ‘I am swilling antidepressants trying to figure out what to do with my life when this is over.’” In 1985, Daniel Borrstin’s book, “The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America,” was published and proved to be a prophetic vision of American culture and politics, fulfilled in a culture that has produced Donald Trump. In his recent article for Bill Moyers.com, “How the Media Enabled Donald Trump by Destroying Politics First,” Neal Gabler discusses the book. He writes, “… his seminal book, The Image, described a society in which things were increasingly staged expressly for the media without any intrinsic merit of their own – things like photo ops, press conferences, award ceremonies. If this election cycle disaster has shown me anything, it is that deregulation is not necessarily a good thing … like in banking. Perhaps we should go back to equal airtime for all candidates, and link it to campaign finance reform. We need to level the playing field so the citizen candidate has a chance to serve the public good, not just those wealthy enough to mount a political campaign outrageous enough to garner the complete attention of the once journaliststurned-ratings-and-advertising-whores in the media. In The New York Times article of March 15, 2016, “Measuring Donald Trump’s Mammoth Advantage in Free Media,” Nicholas Confessore and Karen Yourish note that in February 2016 alone, Trump received $400 million in free media. He is the all-time historical leader in all types of free media, including the Internet. The article says, “Over the course of the campaign, he has earned close to $2 billion worth of media attention, about twice the all-in price of the most expensive presidential campaigns in history.” He labeled these ‘pseudo-events’ because they only looked like real events, while being hollow inside. And Boorstin defined pseudo-people too – people whose activities, as he put it, had no intrinsic value either. He called them ‘celebrities,’ and he defined them as people who were known for being wellknown.” It all boils down to money. When the head of CBS television, puts money ahead of the public good and the future of our nation and makes statements like these, according to the Hol- We are all in BIG trouble.

VISIT OUR ALL NEW WEBSITE AT WWW.SANTACLARITAFREE.COM May 6 - May 12, 2016 Your Hometown News and Classifieds Chamber of Commerce: News has been breaking regarding the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce recently. As a member of the board of directors for the organization, and as publisher of this newspaper, I made the decision that the Gazette will not cover these recent events, as I feel it would be a conflict of interest. Court Battle Rages On: My wife Jeannie and I really appreciate the support the community has given us in the very unfortunate legal battle we’re in with The Signal. The support has come from folks we know, but also from many Gazette readers and the like, who we don’t know. If you’re keeping score, the court hearing was continued by the judge in the case until June 8. braska senator), Mitt Romney, Christine Todd Whitman (former Republican governor of New Jersey), Lindsey Graham, Michael Hayden (former CIA director) and even Ted Cruz, just to name a few Republicans, all have one thing in common. They are vehemently against Donald Trump. Okay, I get that, but now that Mr. Trump is going to be the Republican candidate, what are you guys going to do? You are good at throwing disdainful verbal arrows at him, but I’ve never heard any of you say what you will do if he wins the nomination. Look, I get where you are coming from. He wasn’t my first choice; he has a lot of undesirable positions for conservatives. But, in your rather emotional tirades, I and many others would like to hear what your “plan B” is. Many have indicated to us that they really don’t understand what, why or how The Signal is doing what they’re doing. I have to tell you I completely understand – it’s somewhat complicated. Are you going to vote for Hillary? Are you going to do your best to derail Trump at the convention, ignoring the overwhelming number of votes he has received? Are you going to form a third party and nominate a candidate that will do nothing but split the vote and allow Hillary to waltz right in to the White House? Here’s a synopsis: Really? -The Signal lost to the Gazette in court (fair and square) in our bid to be a newspaper of record, allowing us to publish legal notice ads. Do you really want Mrs. Clinton in the White House instead of Trump? If so, have the guts to come out and say so. Have the guts to show us your true colors. If you are planning to turn the convention on its ear with a delegate mutiny, convey that. Again, if you’re so unhappy with Trump, tell us what the heck to do about it, instead of hiding in silence allowing the Party to splinter into pieces. -The Signal is very unhappy about the ruling, because they don’t want to lose any of that type of revenue to us. -Since that ruling (six weeks ago) they are attempting to disrupt our business by involving themselves in our Chapter 13 bankruptcy (reorganization, not liquidation) we filed in September of 2013. -This is where it gets really complicated and if I try to explain it in detail you will get lost and/or bored. -I will say that we have never owed The Signal a dime. They never had absolutely anything to do with our reorganization in September of 2013 … up until now. To try and sum this up, the most pressing issue is the last motion The Signal filed, attempting to have our type of bankruptcy (Chapter 13) converted to a Chapter 7 and PAY the court a sum of money so The Signal can PURCHASE THE GAZETTE. Their argument is that this is in the “best interest” of the Gazette’s creditors. Maybe? Would you even consider Trump, instead of opening the White House door for Hillary? If you have just a smidgen of Republican blood in your bodies, will you perhaps hold your nose and get behind Trump? Maybe you can drop your selfishness, get over yourselves for six months and help put someone in the White House who will at least give us half a chance of getting this country back on track. If you aren’t big enough boys and girls to do this, we will fall into four more years like the last eight. Is that what you really want? Do you really think the country can (literally) afford that? Is there a way you can overcome the personality conflict you have with Donald, swallow your pride and get on board the best political train we have going now? I sure hope so. What’s Important? What I and many others cannot fathom is IF THE SIGNAL IS NOT A CREDITOR OF OURS, HOW CAN OUR CREDITORS BE ANY CONCERN OF THEIRS? In my opinion the answer is obvious; it is not a concern of theirs, other than to SCREW UP the Gazette family! Ultimately, though, the judge in the case will make the call. Recent polls indicate the American people are most concerned with (in order of importance) the economy/jobs, terrorism, the national debt and healthcare. Who do you think (Clinton or Trump) gives us the best chance of tackling these issues successfully? Which candidate do you hear addressing these problems the most, or at all? What Now, Folks? Karl Rove, John McCain, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, George Will, Mitch McConnell, Bill Kristol (editor, of Weekly Standard), Ben Sasse, (Republican Ne- "Loving God... Loving Others" I have scoured transcripts of campaign speeches by Hillary and all I’ve seen is general rhetoric skimming over all kinds of touchy-feely stuff. Even though Donald isn’t the best at articulating, he at least brings these topics up with full force, leaving no doubt as to his intentions and the importance of tackling the problems Americans are most concerned with. Me says, let’s get behind Donald, no matter how we feel about him. This isn’t a personality contest, it’s a contest to see who can turn our nation around! More Donald: Casual Atmosphere.

I asked him if the Donald we see on television is the same Donald he saw behind his desk, in meetings, otherwise conducting business. He said something along the lines of “absolutely not!” He indicated that behind closed doors, Trump is very businesslike, organized, delegates well, listens to his people, holds others accountable, and felt he would do a good job as president. 9 some of the things he says, but he would be MUCH BETTER THAN HILLARY and I don’t want to take a chance on giving her a shot. My bet goes with Trump. I hope the selfish establishment types come around to thinking the same thing!

Quotes of the Week: “The idea that there aren’t mistakes made constantly in the judicial system is too obvious even to need to mention.” (James Toback) “The fundamental problem is that there’s no credibility in the judicial system, which is a system that’s been completely politicized. This is retaliation and selective repression.” (Leopoldo Lopez) “The judicial system is the most expensive machine ever invented for finding out what happened and what to do about it.” (Irving R.

Don’t think of your self as a failed business man though. Think of yourself as a victim of the times & also a survivor. Now as to the gender situation in public restrooms. Here is my solution. I think if you are under the age of accountability or say 15, you should be able to use any restroom you want but would prefer that you use the gender described rest room that you are dressed for. Once you receive your driver’s license, or become 16, then you would have to use the bath room that your driver›s license described you ask. If your license says male then you have to use the male restroom. Policemen could ask to see your identification if they expect foul play.

A 10-year veteran himself, and after 25 years in the L.A. Police Department Reserve Corps, Joe uses the business to fund veterans’ causes, Junior ROTC programs, and provide assistance to combat-wounded veterans. One of the means for doing that is to carry Nine Line Apparel, a company founded by two brothers, both Army officers, advocating for “military, veterans and patriotic Americans,” according to the website. Shirts bear slogans such as “Family, Faith, Friends, Flag, Firearms” and “Don’t Tread on Me.” “A ‘9 Line’ in combat is like calling for 9-1-1. If a soldier’s been wounded and he’s down, we say it’s a 9 Line,” Joe explained. “We’re very proud, because we’ve been leading the West Coast in (Nine Line) apparel sales in raising money for them. The clothing has patriotic messaging on it, but it’s more than that. Every soldier who comes in here, they know what a 9 Line is and they know they’re helping their brothers and sisters in combat.” Commando Military Surplus is the Bronze Star Sponsor of the Nine Line Run for the Wounded race in Savannah, Georgia on Armed Forces Day, May 21, 2016, and two of the store’s representatives will participate, including Joe. They are playing a pivotal part in raising money for the cause, supporting a specific combat wounded veteran who lost both legs and one arm in Afghanistan in September 2011. “Our mission is to build SFC Aaron Causey a 100 percent handicapped-accessible home,” Joe says. Commando is one of the oldest Army surplus stores in Southern California. It opened in 1980. Now it offers more than the usual low-cost military gear; there are camping supplies, emergency food and water products, and they are adding disaster preparedness and survival merchandise. Pictured above (L to R): Commando owner Joe Gomez, Nine Line’s Director of Outreach Programs Ashli Clubine, and Nine “Now Line founder Danny Merritt. Joe and Angelica employ veterans at the 650-square-foot store, including the assistant manager, who completed a tour in Afghanistan. They also have a donation box there for the Killed in Action Honor Flag Foundation. By Lee Barnathan Contributor “When customers say ‘keep the change,’ we ask them to just put it in the Honor Flag box,” Joe says. “We’re members of that organization. When a veteran is killed, their family gets about 21 days to exit the base; the government ends its contact with them. The Killed in Action Honor Foundation helps bridge that gap. They provide counseling and follow-up contact with the family after their loved one’s been buried.” the veterans realize this is being run by vets,” Joe Gomez says. “It’s like a place they can come home to.” Commando Military Surplus is located at 24319 Main Street in Newhall; (661) 259-7440.

Hart Park and Museum and that 50 lucky people would be able to log on and secure two tickets apiece. Being interested in such matters, Petzold logged in, got a confirmation and invited his daughter to join him. Then he got a call Monday around 3 p.m. from Russ Briley, The Signal’s executive vice president of community relations & audience development, informing Petzold he would not be welcome because two years ago, at a city council candidate forum held at The Signal, Petzold took photos of the event and posted them on social media. “I don’t remember doing that,” Petzold said later. “I barely remember being there.” Taken aback, Petzold said he requested to see the photos he took and posted because he couldn’t find them himself. He said Briley couldn’t produce them and spoke sternly to him (Briley didn’t return a phone call seeking comment). He isn’t sure why he was barred, but he has some guesses: He has called upon The Signal to drop its lawsuit against Gazette publisher Doug Sutton; he is fighting Measure E, a $230 million bond issue that would benefit College of the Canyons, and he has been rebuffed by The Signal editorial board about presenting something opposing Measure E after pro-Measure E officials were allowed to make a presentation. A day later, Petzold was “very pissed off at this point,” he says. So, he took to Facebook and started a string that now has more than 100 posts. Most were supportive. “Wow. A little too ‘mighty,’ in my humble opinion, for the local newspaper to be so restrictive about who can attend and cover an event,” Helen Harwood wrote. “We stand with Petz. We need more people like him in this community that pay attention,” wrote Larry McClements. Lou Vince, a Democrat running in the 25th District, offered to bring Petzold as his guest and said he would not participate if Petzold couldn’t attend. Not everyone completely sided with Petzold. Todd R. Wilson wrote, “If he attended an event previously and was told ‘no photos’ and he took a photo in violation of the rules, then, well, he doesn’t get a pass back. The concept of ‘no photos’ seems a bit of a stretch but it’s their event, they make the rules.” As for Petzold, he was so angered by the snub, he asked Briley, “Are you going to cancel my subscription now or do I have to call back?” Briley canceled it on the spot and seemed pleased to do it, Petzold said.

Canoga Park both days and has been paralyzed for many years, was a first-timer. He won Athlete of the Year and signed up to play for a competitive wheelchair rugby team. Goal met! Hockey, basketball, rugby, handcycling, racquetball, scuba, and WCMX were just some of the activities offered. New to the festival was scuba and wheelchair motocross. Scuba, put on by Diveheart, allowed wheelchair users to get in the pool and experience swimming underwater. WCMX had wheelchair users “skating,” dropping-in, grinding and showing off their stunt skills along with kids from this community who had no idea what they would get to witness when they came to the skate park. Goal met! Several seasoned players and Triumph ambassadors played and coached various sports, but for many this was their first time experiencing anything like it. One young man, Louie, who traveled by train from Dozens of vendors and sponsors participated in the festival, most of whom relate to the wheelchair community, providing services and products unique to them, including wheelchair camping. Goal met! Nearly 1,000 people attended the two-day event. The goal is to introduce wheelchair sports to more people, increase inclusiveness and awareness of people living with disabilities in the community, and to have fun. Finish the Ride Event Draws Hundreds of Riders and Spectators T he Santa Clarita based Forged by Fire Foundation joined Streets Are for Everyone last week, raising money for both of the non-profit groups with an all-day mixed-athletic event. One of their chief goals was to raise awareness about the need for drivers to practice safe driving on the streets with cyclists. The 1st Annual Finish the Ride Santa Clarita Ride, Run, Walk, ‘N Roll brought together 350 participants, who completed 5K, 10K and half marathon runs or one of the two bike rides – one which was 25 miles and the other a 62-mile ride. There was also a 2K family fun walk in remembrance of those who had passed away. Santa Clarita City Councilman Dante Acosta led the walk in remembrance of his son, Specialist Rudy Acosta who was killed in action in Afghanistan on March 19, 2011. “The success of this first-year event proves the popularity of mixed-athletic events and solidifies Santa Clarita as one of the most generous, charitable communities in the state,” said Kevin D. Korenthal, co-host of the event and founder of the Forged by Fire Foundation. He went on to say that the tremendous community support for safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists in the Santa Clarita Valley is one of several key reasons folks were motivated to sign-up. “Whether it was long distance cyclists or families who participated in the walk of remembrance around Heritage Park, those who participated were there not just to participate athletically, but to support two great causes.” Finish The Ride was originally conceived by Damian Kevitt, a Los Angeles resident who was the victim of a hit and run collision. Kevitt and his wife were riding their bikes near Griffith Park in mid-2013 when he was struck from behind, dragged under the vehicle onto the 5 Freeway and left for dead. His story and positive attitude attracted significant media attention and community support. During his recovery, Kevitt vowed to get back on the bike and finish the ride he started that day in Griffith Park. Kevin D. Korenthal, a 33-year resident of Santa Clarita was hit head-on by a distracted driver in the canyons above Santa Clarita while riding his bike on December 22, 2012. Korenthal’s recovery from numerous broken bones and the positive attitude he maintained motivated him to start the Forged by Fire Foundation, the goal of which is to share the attitude, activities and product/service providers that offer the best opportunities for recovery from traumatic injury and diseases such as cancer. Finish The Ride will hold its next event in Woodley Park on December 11, 2016. To learn more, visit Finishtheride.org. Photo by Donna Anderson Triumph depends on volunteers. With the growth of the size of this event, the need for additional volunteers grew too. About 100 volunteers made things run smoothly. Sherry Christiansen headed up the concession stand, which fed lunch and snacks to the attendees. “I love God, I love cooking, baking, and serving others,” Christiansen said. “Triumph was the perfect fit for my skills and my passion for people. The sports festival brings out such happy faces, seeing people try things for the first time and their joy at accomplishing it. This year I met George, who had some problems but he pushed through them and had a great time.” Goal met! Triumph›s theme is Getting Better Everyday. And it seems that everyone involved is getting better every day, in every way. Nothing inspires this writer more than this annual event. These people live life to the fullest, not letting a wheelchair get in their way. They see their obstacles as challenges to be conquered. Goal met!

May 6 - May 12, 2016 Your Hometown News and Classifieds What is True Diversification? 13 Now and Then: Taste of the Town By Linda Pedersen Contributor By Arif M. Halaby, CEP Contributor H ave you thought to yourself that you may have all of your eggs in one basket? When it comes to retirement account assets, you may be right. If you have all of your accounts in the stock market and it goes down, you may lose your ability to retire the way you had planned. For a growing number of people, the loss of peace of mind is cause enough to reexamine where your nest egg is currently held. Diversification is not sitting in a different seat on the same bus. Instead, it is having some of your money in an entirely different financial vehicle that fits your needs. Everyone is happy and believes they are a “winner” when they take a gamble and win. Few people admit when they have lost during their time in Las Vegas. But you know that those big hotels and casinos were not built because people are winning more than they are losing. Who do you think pays all those bonuses to the workers on Wall Street? If the market is on a high and you are ready to retire, it can instill a false sense of confidence in you, especially in relation to how much money you can spend each month. But it can be much worse than you even imagine. If, during the early years of retirement, you believe the market will achieve a particular rate of return – perhaps one that is unrealistic – you may be inclined to spend more that month or year. You might even splurge on a certain item, expecting to recoup that expense in short order. So, let’s say you spend $50,000 on a home remodel or buy an RV – that money you spend is money you will never get back. In fact, over the course of one’s normal retirement life, that $70,000 expense could have been as much as $250,000 in lost potential savings when you add in growth opportunity over the subsequent 25-30 years. This illustrates the power of compounded interest when it works in your favor! Another important consideration is making sure the percentage you withdraw each year is a sustainable figure. In the nearly 20 years of my financial practice, experts have used numbers like 6 percent, 5 percent and 4 percent, totals they claimed a person can withdraw from retirement savings each year and still have enough to live on for the rest of that individual’s life and the life of a surviving spouse. Can you see the problem here? The number has changed, seemingly out of our favor. If a retiree played under the “old” set of rules that said it was okay to withdraw 6 percent per year (which is $6,000 withdrawn for every $100,000 you have saved), then you may have reduced your savings significantly when the market lost more than 50 percent of its value (not once, but twice since the year 2000). If you had all of your savings in the market, there is a great likelihood that you would run out of money years sooner than you had planned. And really, who wants to go back to work at age 80? For some, the old way of diversification meant losing money in more than one place. True diversification should include safety. For some, that means not having all your eggs in one basket. - Arif M.

I ous local high schools, motivated, enthusiastic and energetic – a real pleasure.” Executive director of the Child & Family Center Foundation, Lois Bauccio, and vice president, Cheryl Jones, joined Laina and Ginger as they listened to the ever-changing weather predictions. Foundation board member Cheri Fleming and husband Don dined with the aptly-named Channel 7 weatherman, Dallas Raines, on Saturday evening and a popular topic on the evening menu was the weather – which even Dallas couldn’t guarantee. But the clouds that hovered over the Mann Biomedical Park earlier in the week parted as Sunday morning dawned, and the party was on! The Child & Family Auxiliary members are also a presence on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They are the ones who help with the silent auction baskets, prepare the table place settings, and assist with signage on Saturday, then arrive at the park at 7:30 Sunday morning to wipe down the tables, add tablecloths, and wrap the umbrella poles with ivy and flowers. Joan and Gary Cohen have the monumental task of leading the last-minute decorating task, which often ends just minutes before the first VIP guests arrive. Some of those who contributed to the Auxiliary responsibilities included Judy Penman, Aida Weinstein, Debbie Blakely, Michele Reckon-Golden, Francine Gleckman, Barbara Moore, Karyn Bartlett, Margie Lombardi, Jean LaCorte, Karla Edwards, and Liz Seipel. t has been dubbed by many as “The Best Party in the Santa Clarita Valley,” but in the days leading up to the May 1 event, chairs Laina McFerran and Ginger LaVang were wondering if rain would spoil the 28th annual Child & Family Center’s fundraising event. While the responsibility for pulling off the multifaceted event weighed heavily on the shoulders of Laina and Ginger, the co-chairs readily admit that the generous support of the business sponsors, the 50-plus restaurant owners and caterers, and the hundreds of work hours put in by the center’s volunteers are what put the Taste of the Town over the top. “Sweat equity” is a phrase that aptly describes the behind-thescenes work that goes into putting on this event – from gathering items for the silent and live auctions to setting up tables, umbrellas, and fences the day before and adding the decorative touches that enhance the atmosphere. As many long-time Santa Clarita residents may know, Liz Seipel is one of the co-founders of the Child & Family Center and served as its leader for 32 years. Even though she retired a few years ago, she continues to be a driving force in the organization, both as a resource advisor or a hard-working volunteer. Whenever an obstacle or an unexpected problem arises during the planning and execution of Taste of the Town, the volunteers all know they can turn to Cheryl Jones and she will have a remedy. Cheryl lends an ubiquitous presence to the event from the first months of planning to the clean up on Sunday evening – and can miraculously calm even the most harried workers.

COC Suicide Prevention and Awareness Event A n annual event at College of the Canyons aims to bring more awareness to the community about the issue of suicide. Called “Shine a Light,” it is designed to provide students and community members with access to mental health resources, while bringing attention to the number of college students who die by suicide each year. Kevin Berthia, a suicide survivor and suicide prevention advocate, will deliver his keynote speech, “The Impact of Listening,” from 2-3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11, in the West PE gymnasium. Berthia’s presentation will focus on encouraging people to talk through their problems rather than think about ending their lives. As a visual representation of the social issue of suicide, the Honor Grove will also be filled with 1,100 paper lanterns — each representing a college student who has lost his or her life to suicide in the United States during the past year. At 5 p.m. on the evening of May 10, those lanterns will be illuminated and left on display through the night to provide students, college staff and community members with a thought-provoking visual representation. Staff members from the college’s Student Health & Wellness Center and other local mental health agencies will attend the event to distribute information about suicide prevention/awareness, coping with depression, and how to access other key mental health care resources, both on campus and in the community. On both days from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., mental health providers will be outside at the campus’ flagpole to provide resources and support. Flashlights with the National Suicide Lifeline will also be distributed. These events are funded by grants provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

That is how many men, women, and children worldwide have been estimated to be a victim of human trafficking,” say the young entrepreneurs. “Many people are unaware that slavery still exists and that it’s worse than ever before.” The Santa Clarita based company, Citizen & Darling, donates 20 percent of the proceeds to organizations that fight for human trafficking victims and use the rest to help build their company that they hope will one day employ and support those victims. “We are excited to use fashion to help victims and bring awareness,” says Vaichus. “It’s an opportunity to be a voice for the voiceless.” Their vision is to one day provide basic needs and career opportunities and restore emotional and mental health to those coming out of the trafficking industry. “The end game is to have a full clothing line that is sophisticated, sweatshopfree and American made,” says Vaichus. “We’d like to have an aftercare program where we’re teaching trafficking victims a job, giving them opportunities, and allowing them to start a new life.” McAhren, a graduate of the Fashion institute of Los Angeles, or FIDM, is also a wife and a working mother of three. Vaichus, a newlywed and an aspiring psychologist with a background in philanthropy, works two jobs in addition to the work that goes into starting a company from the ground up. Both draw inspiration and determination from their Christian faith and say an aftercare program could be a way for victims to renew their identities after the trauma that comes with being a sex slave. “You’re a citizen to the Kingdom of God, and you are loved,” says Vaichus. Citizen & Darling also features children’s T-shirts with the words “wonderfully made” printed across them. Although a sweet design, McAhren reminds us that the shirts should also serve as a reminder that children are sold into sex slavery across the world every day. “The problem is a little bit overwhelming, and I think a lot of people sometimes don’t know how they can help,” says Vaichus. “So that’s where we want to come in and provide an opportunity that’s attainable.” Courtesy of Hometownstation.com May 6 - May 12, 2016 Metro to Hold Public Meeting for Draft Expenditure Plan in Santa Clarita S anta Clarita residents are encouraged to offer input at a community meeting hosted by The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. The public can weigh in on a draft expenditure plan that outlines more than $120 billion in transit, highway and local projects over the next four decades and would be funded through a potential sales tax ballot measure that may go before voters on November 8. The meeting will be held at The Centre, located at 20880 Centre Pointe Parkway in Santa Clarita. The ballot measure under consideration would ask voters to increase the countywide sales tax by a half cent for 40 years and to continue the existing Measure R tax. The existing Measure R tax is a half-cent sales tax for Los Angeles County used to finance new transportation projects and programs, and accelerate those already in the pipeline — for an additional 18 years, both of which would run through 2057. In total, the 40year plan would fund nearly 40 major highway and transit projects and another 36 transportation programs to improve the movement of people, goods and services. In addition to new transit and highway projects, the expenditure draft plan includes commuter rail; transit operations and projects to keep buses, trains and facilities in good repair; pedestrian and cycling connections and funding to support affordable fares for students, seniors and the disabled. Santa Clarita residents who attend the meeting will have a chance to ask questions about the new measure and share their thoughts. “I strongly encourage our residents to attend the public meeting. The draft expenditure plan impacts them directly and is a great opportunity to provide feedback on L.A. County’s future transportation plan,” said Councilmember Marsha McLean. The full expenditure plan is available for public review at www.metro.net/ theplan. The public is encouraged to take a look at the plan, realizing that it is a working draft document and subject to change, as the process goes forward. Residents are also encouraged to provide their feedback by emailing theplan@metro.net. Public input received will be compiled and shared with the Metro Board of Directors as they contemplate a final expenditure plan and decide in June whether to put the measure on the November ballot. For more information about the draft expenditure plan public meeting, contact Rick Jager from Metro Media Relations at (213) 922-2707 or email mediarelations@ metro.net. Making the Shift from Employee to Entrepreneur By Connie Ragen Green Contributor R ecently I spent time with a group of newer entrepreneurs in a workshop setting. I’m a Rotarian (Rotary is an international service organization) and the conversation turned to the cost of being a member of this group. One woman said that she had been told that her local Rotary Club cost about $700 a month to be a part of it, and I reacted strongly to her statement, clarifying that the dues were about $300 a year and that the cost of the meal each week would run somewhere between $8-$30. Then I sat back as the group discussed the pros and cons of being a member of a non-profit group like Rotary. The cost appeared to be the first aspect of this that would make the difference as to whether someone would even visit a Rotary Club meeting in their local city. I realized very quickly that I was actually witnessing a conversation about the difference between employees and employers, and what it truly means to go from being an employee to an entrepreneur. It’s a mind shift that takes some time, and cannot possibly occur until you set your intentions and take action on your goals. When I left the world of classroom teaching and working part-time in real estate in 2006, I worked hard at making the transition from employee to entrepreneur. Even though I owned my real estate business, I was far from being entrepreneurial in my day-to-day activities. The bulk of my income continued to come from teaching, and the employee mentality was a strong one I would have to overcome. As an employee, I looked to my supervisors and administrators for guidance on what actions to take each day. I had some say-so as to what I could do with the children in my classroom, but it had to fit into the structure of what the school and the school district has decided. Now don’t get me wrong here; I had lots of ideas about what would work effectively in the classroom and wanted to share and implement those ideas with others. But the truth was that I was not being paid to have what I considered to be fresh and innovative ideas. No, I was being paid to follow directions and achieve specific results. Once I left the classroom I began to see things very differently. Soon I was thinking of myself as a creative thinker and everything began to shift. Instead of thinking about how much it would cost for me to join Rotary and be a part of a worldwide organization that could help more people than I could even imagine, I jumped in and got to work. And the interesting thing is that my business took off as a result of the people I met at Rotary and the shift in my thinking that occurred as a result. Do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Refuse to continue thinking like an employee who needs constant instructions and direction as to what to do in each situation. Make a conscious mind shift from employee to entrepreneur and jump in with both feet, open to what is possible in your life and your business. Networking with other like-minded individuals is a crucial step in this process. You can’t possibly change without changing your surround- ings, and that includes the people along with the scenery. Think about visiting your local Rotary Club (they meet on Wednesdays, either for breakfast or lunch) or other service organization to connect with the members and see if it’s for you. Are you an employee who wishes to start a small business or become an entrepreneur? Or are you an entrepreneur who wants to help others make that mind shift to see the world differently and have unlimited possibilities?

It is apparent profiling exists in America because of the considerable amount of civil rights, police misconduct and wrongful death settlements throughout our nation’s most populous cities. Lt. James, Chief of the Long Beach Police Department, has stated that racial and identity profiling does not exist. The city of Rialto completed a study that validates the benefits of using body cameras on peace officers for policing our communities. According to Police State Daily, more than $1 trillion has been settled amongst several police departments across the United States. Charges of wrongful death and police misconduct based on bias have contributed to significant lawsuits that impact taxpayers. Los Angeles has paid more than $101 million since 2006; New York, $428 million; Oakland, $74 million since 1990; Philadelphia, $40 million since 2009; Chicago, $521 million since 2004-2014; Cleveland, $8.2 million; Dallas, $6.6 million; Denver, $12 million since 2011; Washington, $5.7 million from 2011-2014; and Boston, $36 million since 2010. In Los Angeles, police killed a National Guard veteran during an incident that was captured on live TV. A settlement of $10 million was issued to the family of an Oakland man in a case charging four officers with beating and kidnapping him, and planting drugs. There is also the killing of Michael Brown, an African American 18-year-old wearing a hooded sweatshirt, by a police officer in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. According to the Bureau of Justice, a total of over 26,000 official police brutality complaints have been documented across our nation. According to these statistics, 1 in 200 police officers are reprimanded for their misconduct. The evidence shows that misconduct and inappropriate behavior is practiced within our community police precincts. The number of incidents and settlements far exceed the cost of seeking out alternative methods, procedures and training that will better equip our peace officers to perform their duties in keeping our communities safe. Lt. Stephen Elliot James from the Long Beach Police Department says he does not believe that racial and identity profiling exist in his police department. The reality is quite the opposite, because biases and prejudice are part of our culture. It is unfortunate that someone of his level of responsibility and authority has taken this position. Local Group Seeks to Unite a Divided Community By Anthony Tashjian Contributor T he Santa Clarita Valley Interfaith Council is on a mission to bring social cohesion to Santa Clarita, seeking to unite people of all faiths in order to encourage respectful and peaceful dialogue. Reverend Lynn Jay from St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church founded the Interfaith Council in 1991, where it originally consisted of a body of members representing nearly 20 different faiths, always open to atheists as well. Since its founding, this number has dwindled because of internal religious conflicts with some of the original representatives, despite the united call for multidimensional harmony. Now fairly inert, the group includes a handful of Christian members of different denominations, a Buddhist member, and several atheist members from the Interfaith Council. Tyger White, the president, is striving to revitalize the original goal of bringing religious unity to the Santa Clarita Valley, and according to White, it all starts at the dinner table. “We are hosting an interfaith prayer event on Thursday, May 5 at 6 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Newhall, located at 24317 Newhall Avenue,” she said, extending the invitation to all Santa Clarita residents. Attendance at this event is modeled on a premise of respectability and dignity for all — a recipe that offers an enriching opportunity for education, a newfound understanding, and friendship perhaps, for those who wish to attend. The legislation against racial and identity profiling has set expectations that obligate peace officers to gather pertinent descriptive information based on their perception of the people they apprehend. This information will be analyzed and evaluated by the Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board created by Kamala Harris, California Attorney General. It appears that this bill may not be embraced by many police precincts, and it is important to consider implementing technology that will ensure proper behaviors are exhibited by our peace officers in the field. Many Santa Clarita community members who welcome the invitation to dinner on this day expect to “suffer indigestion” from the controversial Dunamis Group’s Annual Mayors Prayer Breakfast that same morning at the Hyatt Regency Valencia. Tyger White is among the few who are choosing to attend, despite forewarning about the political nature of the event and its ties with hatemongering conservatives. I think it is vital to give our peace officers the tools to ensure they are being honest with the processes they are expected to adhere to. Recording their behavior out in the field can benefit them in improving their interactions within the community. The city of Rialto, California outfitted their police officers with body cameras, which cost $900 per unit. The results of the 70 peace officers wearing cameras produced significant changes in brutality, which dropped by 60 percent and reduced police complaints by 88 percent in 2012. “The Interfaith Council is an inclusive group that was created to include all faiths, even the controversial ones,” White said. “In order to get others to understand our point of view, we must first seek to understand theirs.” It is clear that monitoring peace officer behavior will contribute to their ability to use proper apprehension procedures, gain accurate data and protect our community without bias. Brutality can no longer be tolerated in our community. We must utilize pertinent technology that will contribute to correcting behavior with residents in our community. The cost of purchasing body cameras will reduce settlement costs from lawsuits. Recording incidents will contribute to more positive behavior and reduce complaints against officers, at the same time minimizing brutality in our communities. White has accepted the invitation to attend the Prayer Breakfast offered to her by Dunamis President Joe Messina, but clearly notes that her attendance is in no way an endorsement of anyone’s beliefs. “I simply believe that peaceful dialogue is one of the best ways of getting educated and educating others,” White said. However, a community-wide protest is already being organized to object to the politicization of the Mayors Prayer Breakfast’s conservative ideology cavalierly presented to the community under false pretense of religious unity. Susan Wachter, of the Interfaith Council, helped organize a protest of the Dunamis Group’s Mayors Prayer Breakfast in 2013, when she felt that their speaker was divisive and hurtful towards many in the community. She pleaded with Mayor Bob Kellar at a Santa Clarita City Council meeting not to go. His response was, “It saddens me that something so great has to be so controversial. The National Day of Prayer should be a day that we throw politics out and we come together as responsible Americans in appreciation for God Almighty in his leadership and blessing this country and the people that make it work. … I want you to know I feel that from my heart.” Controversy over the Dunamis Group’s annual involvement in this event still lingers in the Santa Clarita Valley because of their conservative Christian background. Past community protests raised issues with the continuing use of “mayor” in the title and the implied violation of the separation of church and state; others raised issues with the $25-per-plate event and its Christian financiers’ offensive keynote speakers. No stranger to protests in the Santa Clarita Valley, White said, “I feel that protests are one way to bring attention to issues. However, they also cause the people that you are protesting against to become defensive and more entrenched in their positions. Open conversation is more effective in changing someone’s mind. In my experience, this is how hard-line thinkers learn to change their minds. You must first hear them out before they begin to listen.” Mayor Kellar commented on the issue of politicization regarding the event. “If there can be a program that we can bring forward that everybody embraces … that we can come together on a National Day of Prayer and celebrate the greatness of this country without politics, we’ll save politics for another day, not the National Day of Prayer,” Mayor Kellar said. Wachter believes that the Santa Clarita Interfaith Council will provide such an event, as they have done for many years, at the open and inclusive dinner table. White, a lover of food and communal unity, hopes to sit at both tables for a nice meal and discussion. Jack Hernandez is a USC student, pursuing a Master’s Degree in Social Work.

Suffice it to say leaving a baby unattended in an automobile, whether it’s running/not running, or locked/unlocked, likely qualifies as a dangerous situation. When facing felony charges, the possible penalties include two to six years in California state prison, a fine of up to $10,000 and/or a minimum of four years on formal probation. Misdemeanor charges include the possible penalties of up to six months in county jail, a fine of up to $1,000 and/or informal probation. he description of 273a PC consists of child endangerment as any instance in which a person causes or permits a child to suffer unjust physical pain or mental suffering, willfully causes or permits a child in one’s care to be injured and/or willfully causes or permits a child to be put in a dangerous situation. On Friday, April 29, LAPD officers arrested Solomon Allen under suspicion of child endangerment at a North Hollywood gym. The arrest happened because the man is suspected of leaving his infant daughter in his running automobile for 90 minutes while he was inside the gym. The baby was discovered when someone walked past the suspect’s car. According to the report, police were notified just before 9 a.m. of a child being left unattended inside a car. The car was unlocked, and passersby were able to get the baby out and bring it to a nearby hospital for assessment. The penalties for PC 273a will depend on the nature of the crime. If the behavior of the person being charged is deemed to have presented the risk of great bodily harm or death, it’s likely the person will be charged with a felony. If the situation isn’t deemed to present said risk, the defendant is more likely to be charged with a misdemeanor. To be clear, the child doesn’t have to actually suffer great bodily injury or death for someone to be charged with felony child endangerment. The situation just Parents leaving their kids in the car is nothing new. Many people have probably elected to leave a child in the car on more than one occasion when bringing them inside would be a hassle. The thing is, when most folks leave their kids in the car, it’s usually for a minute or two at most, and their kids are not infants at the time. Human beings are fragile, children and infants even more so. Children are injured, sometimes killed, every year from overheating due to being left in the car. That’s not to mention the tantalizing target that a running or unlocked auto can make for a thief. Maybe they’ll steal the car, maybe the kids, maybe both.

Due to the image-driven nature of today’s media, however, it seems as though the physical aspect of sports is the object of everyone’s attention. Because of this, it is easy to forget that when someone hits a clutch free throw or sinks a tournament-sealing putt, it’s not the muscles that matter, but how the athlete uses them. Mental toughness is not earned in the gym, but rather on the floor with regular yoga and meditation practices. Sheer size and strength are meaningless if the person who possesses them lacks control. This is why NBA audiences see burly 7-footers come and go faster than those players can move their own bodies. However, when athletes add mindful practices such as yoga to their workouts, they can gain a mastery not found in traditional conditioning. For example, according to a study by The International Journal of Physical Education, Sports and Health, yoga contributes to improving strength by working out muscles that weightlifting often misses. It also aids in balance and flexibility, which will allow for the largest of athletes to move their bodies with the precision of someone half their height. When it comes to the benefits of meditation, the question on any skeptic’s mind is always, “How does just sitting with your eyes closed do anything?” The answer is that meditation allows a person to quiet an active mind for a period of time and be in the present moment. There’s an abundance of benefits that come from this practice in sports and beyond, but specifically in the athletic realm, having the ability to focus only on the task at hand, while blocking out all noise, pain, and pressure, is how the average athlete ascends to superstar status. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (Mass General) conducted a study to see how mindfulness meditation improved a person’s alpha rhythms in the brain. In sportstalk, alpha waves are what allow an athlete to manage pain and quiet the mind, no matter what the situation. Mass General’s study consisted of 12 healthy participants, half of whom were instructed to practice mindfulness meditation for eight weeks, while the other half were told not to do so. After the eight-week period concluded, researchers used tools to precisely monitor brain function in order to track how well each participant could adjust their alpha waves when an area of the body was stimulated. The researchers found that those who did practice mindfulness meditation were able to adjust faster than those who didn’t, bolstering the idea that meditation strengthens one’s ability to manage pain and control the body. Media advertising tends to focus solely on well-toned muscles in order to move products, but seldom do they convey the fact athletes rely on well-developed, focused brains to move their bodies. And, while it may be rare to see the words sports, yoga and meditation in the same sentence, in 2016 it’s time for us to change our perception of the ingredients that make athletes great. T he COC Model United Nations, or COCMUN, team attended a conference hosted by UCLA April 14-17, and came home as one of four colleges to be honored at the event joining prestigious four-year institutions such as USC, Stanford and UC Berkeley. Model United Nations is a fast-paced political strategy competition that places an emphasis on diplomacy and interactive problem solving. Through courses and competitions offered by the college’s political science department, students conduct research on relevant global issues, enhance their public speaking skills, and work to comprehend the essential goals of conflict resolution, all while simulating the work of the United Nations and its various agencies. For the second time in the last four years, COC was awarded the Outstanding Large Delegation award. In addition, eight COC team members won individual awards. Included in that group are: MOVIE LISTING Clark Wintle — Best Delegate Sergio Partida and Raina Iqbal — Outstanding Delegation Jonathan Flores, Jack Schulze and Tim Smith — Honorable Mention Younus Al-Bojermi and Dana Levine — Verbal Commendation With several of the team’s veteran participants slated to graduate at semester’s end, the team is already scouting for new talent. “If any students out there like being challenged — both personally and academically — please consider being part of the COC Model United Nations experience,” said Phil Gussin, team advisor and political science professor.

She is quite active so she enjoys walks and games of fetch but her main mission in life is to spend quality time with her humans. She’s a smart deaf girl who knows her commands (sit, stay, come, no....), is schooled in going potty outside and will blossom even more with additional bonding and attention. Gracie is a graduate of our Intermediate Obedience class! She has passed the Canine Good Citizen test and is eligible for certification. Gary and Shady are purebred male black Labrador Retrievers. Gary is three years old, and Shady is four. They found themselves in a kill shelter when their Mom passed away very suddenly. They have typical labbie happy temperaments, and are very bonded to each other. Gary and Shady are trained, housebroken, and very well behaved. They are a turnkey pair of dogs who really need a forever home together.

His mom was red merle and his dad was a blue merle AS. He was bred merle to merle, resulting in congenital deafness. He came to us straight from his breeder for proper placement and a lifetime safety net, so he's not had a bumpy road or the baggage that some pups have to endure before coming to us in rescue. He's a perfect little guy. http://www.deafdogrescueofamerica.org/adoption-application.html AngelDogs Foundation Deaf Dog Ranch is the first all-breed deaf dog ranch in the country.

But if you don’t often buy a new car, you may not ever get to personally make use of any of them. Luckily, there are a lot of publications that let you sink back and enjoy the detailed descriptions of advanced technology. There are upgraded entertainment systems available in 2016 models, Gorzelany says. High-definition video players and, of course, better sound come in most of them. Jim Gorzelany, a contributor to Forbes, gave us a description of the vehicles currently on the road in an article entitled “The Hottest 2016 New-Car Features.” He says the aim of a lot of the newest technology is for smoother ride, better handling and improved gas mileage. It’s a few years down the road, according to the article, though Tesla rolled out a system for an electric car that keeps it centered in the lane and changes lanes with a simple tap. BMW has a model of sedan that does the same thing – it maintains the motion in the center of the lane up to speeds of 130 mph. The latest features mean cars are getting into fewer collisions, because they are able to warn motorists about other vehicles in the way and even keep a safe distance from them by automatically applying the brakes. Their navigation systems are improved too. They can get you around traffic jams and some cars even park themselves. Can you go into autopilot? Hopefully, no one in Santa Clarita will be testing that last claim – at least not on our streets!
