Locals Voice Frustration
with Homeless Population
By Lee Barnathan
Contributor
Emily Brandriff works at one of the
establishments in the Vons shopping
center at the corner of Soledad
Canyon and Sand Canyon roads.
Nowhere in her job description does it
say “deal with homeless.”
Yet that is what she’s done almost
every day for the year she’s worked
there. While some are very polite,
most are not.
“I had to handle a problem. The guy in the drive-through (lane), a man charged his
car,” the 18-year-old said. “He threw a beer can at the windshield and proceeded to
kick the driver side door – unprovoked.”
She said it’s common to go into the bathrooms and find used needles or empty
alcohol bottles in the trash. When employees ask them to leave, the homeless people
kick, scream and shout profanity. Twice, as she got into her car, someone asking her
for money approached her.
City officials are painfully aware of the homelessness problem, and the Santa
Clarita City Council is debating whether to join the county’s homeless initiative, a
48-step plan to combat, prevent and help the homeless.

KHTS Cancels
‘Gazette Radio Hour’
(Doug & John Show)
By Martha Michael
Gazette Editor
Following the decision by Gazette owners Doug and Jeannie Sutton to
form a partnership with the owners of The Santa Clarita Valley Signal,
local radio station KHTS AM-1220 opted to cancel Doug Sutton’s
weekly radio show.
“The Gazette Radio Hour” aired on Friday afternoons from 2-3 p.m.
and covered topics pertinent to the Santa Clarita Gazette, the Suttons’
weekly newspaper. Doug Sutton has hosted a show on KHTS for about
five years.
“As station co-owners at KHTS AM-1220, we have been very supportive
of Doug Sutton and his program, but we have been concerned about the
lack of transparency and inconsistency since his partnership between
the Gazette and the Signal,” said Jeri Seratti-Goldman, who owns
KHTS with her husband, Carl Goldman. “Without being able to have
that transparency or understanding as to the terms of the agreement, we
had to make the difficult decision to put the show on hiatus in order to
protect the integrity of our newsroom and commitment to the community, which are our highest priorities.”

The Gazette
continued from front page
Homeless
Meanwhile, people such as Brandriff are interacting
with them more and more, and they don’t like it.
“The majority are strung out on drugs,” she said. “It’s
like talking to people (who are) 700 feet (high) above
you and they don’t understand.”
Effects
Santa Clarita is not only a growing city (officials like
to brag it’s now the third largest in the county), it’s
a growing city with typical growing-city problems,
which include homelessness.
According to the Portland (Ore.) Rescue Mission,
homeless people tend to live in nine different places,
one of which is a setup of “tent cities.” A particular
geography is needed for such an enclave, but Santa
Clarita has one of them: a dry riverbed or a wash.
People tend to congregate there until it’s time to find
food, clothing or drugs; or money for food, clothing
or drugs. (Or the city comes and cleans it out; spokesperson Gail Morgan said the city clears out six to 10
campsites each month.)
Then they venture among the population, which is
easy, because Santa Clarita has a sizable population
near the dry riverbeds or washes. Beside the Soledad
Canyon/Sand Canyon intersection, homeless are
common in, but not limited to, the following locations: the bridge underpass near Soledad Canyon and
Lost Canyon roads, the Albertson’s shopping center
at Bouquet Canyon and Haskell Canyon roads, the
bike paths near Sierra Highway and Soledad Canyon
Road, and the Starbucks at Newhall Avenue and Carl
Court.
Santa Clarita also has one thing that sets it apart: a
generous population that hasn’t seen homeless people
before, including many who feel sorry for them and
want to help.
“We’re blessed to be a very rich city,” Councilmember TimBen Boydston said. “It’s partly the effect of a
young population. It’s a fairy novel to people in this
area, so the generosity is bigger.”
The result: a large homeless population that doesn’t
always keep to itself. Boydston estimates the city has
hundreds, including people he said were raised here as
children. And like stray animals, they go where their
needs are met. For example, at the Coco’s restaurant
at the Soledad Canyon/Sand Canyon intersection,
manager Peter Rivera says his customers often buy
food for the homeless.
“Sometimes, I let them (customers) know they don’t
have to, but they want to,” Rivera said. “They figure,
give them food. Better than money.”
Another effect is that the homeless become braver in
public interactions, often getting in people’s faces or
blocking their paths. Boydston calls this “aggressive
panhandling.”
“I’ve been in a Starbucks on Newhall Avenue. A
homeless guy ran off because I asked him not to speak
the way he was speaking,” Boydston said. “He was
going table to table.”
Brandriff has seen people tell customers they need
money to get to Palmdale, and they ask for a specific
amount: $1.75. If a customer offers to buy food, the
homeless person makes a specific order.
“They lie through their teeth,” Brandriff said. “One
(homeless person) asks for money. My friend knows
she lives in Shadow Pines.
“It’s really stupid. It keeps them coming around.
Everybody wants them to leave. If you keep feeding them, they’ll keep coming back. If you give them
money, they’ll spend it on drugs and alcohol. … They
don’t want to better their lives. They don’t want to find
a job. They lack motivation.”
A solution
Two things frustrate Brandriff the most. First, the establishment where she works does not have a policy
that allows them to refuse service to anyone. Second,
law enforcement can’t do much unless the homeless
person commits some sort of crime. She said people
have been arrested for drug possession or loitering,
but simply being homeless is not a crime.
“My boss wants these people arrested,” Brandriff
said. “She fears for us. She fears us getting out of our
cars.”
However, there is a document called a letter of agency
that Brandriff would like to see used. It’s an agreement between a business and the Santa Clarita Sheriff ’s station that allows deputies to remove an individual who is causing trouble (it’s often connected
with California Penal Code Section 602, which defines trespassing). If the employee or business can get
a name and photo, a letter of agency can be drawn up
against that person.

Canyon Country Crazy Otto’s
Staying Open Despite Rumors
By Martha Michael
Gazette Editor
S
erving approximately 600 customers per weekend and another 100-200 per
day during the week, you can be sure Crazy Otto’s in Canyon Country is
here to stay, says Adam Finley, one of its owners. Rumors have circulated that
the restaurant, which opened almost a year ago, would soon close.
“I heard it from a customer and then (the wife of) one of my employees heard
it from another customer,” Finley said. “I have no idea where it came from. I
reacted kind of shocked, because we aren’t going anywhere.”
Ummm where are the lines?
When asked how he would like people to respond when the false rumor arises,
Finley was speechless. He just thought it was nonsensical.

“Canyon Country has accepted us with open arms, we’re doing really well,” he
said. “Hopefully, we’ll be there as long as the Saugus Café!”

As a deputy responded to a call to Brandriff ’s work earlier this week – and
was not giving the assistance Brandriff wanted – one of the more troublesome
homeless people appeared. The skinny and bony woman with unkempt stringy
hair that she kept playing with paced and shook as she talked to herself. The
clothes were ragged and dirty, eyes bloodshot. She had a cell phone and a power
cord, and she plugged it into an open outlet, but only for a moment before she
started talking into it. Brandriff was convinced this woman wasn’t talking to
anyone.

SANTA CLARITA GAZETTE & FREE CLASSIFIEDS
CLWA and NCWD
Approve Long-term
Water Supply Plan
A
ddressing the Santa Clarita
Valley’s projected water
needs through the next several
decades, leaders of Castaic
Lake Water Agency (CLWA),
Santa Clarita Water Division
(SCWD) and Newhall County
Water District (NCWD) adopted the 2015 Urban Water Management Plan last week. Members held a joint board meeting
at CLWA headquarters.
The Urban Water Management
Plan presents a picture of the
valley’s future water situation
and describes the community’s
long-range water needs, as well
as the means to supply the necessary water to the year 2050.
Every five years, water suppliers
who deliver in excess of 3,000
acre feet of water or serve more
than 3,000 connections per year
are required by law to prepare
a UWMP. Progress toward
20 percent water conservation
by 2020 (in compliance with
SBX7-7, the state’s Water Conservation Bill of 2009) is also
included in the plan.
“The UWMP concludes that
there are adequate current and
future water supplies for the
Santa Clarita Valley,” said Dirk
Marks, CLWA water resources
manager.
Keith Abercrombie, SCWD’s
retail manager said, “We examined water demand and supplies
in an average year, a dry year
and for multiple dry years.”
The agencies partnered in the
UWMP effort to ensure a regional collaborative planning
approach. The plan is not a project-specific document, nor does
it take the place of individual
project requirements; rather it is
a tool that helps guide local water suppliers’ actions and offers
a broad perspective on a wide
variety of water issues. The
plan concludes that the combination of existing and planned
programs to increase supply and
conservation will meet the valley’s water needs through 2050.
CLWA General Manager Matt
Stone said the UWMP is a detailed document that will be reviewed by the state Department
of Water Resources to ensure
that it covers all items that are
required to be addressed under
the state Water Code.
“We did a very thorough analysis,” Stone said. “The level of
sophistication of water resource
planning has come a long way
over the past few decades. The
new plan takes a detailed look
at how we can supply the water our community will need. It
lays out a blueprint for success
through carefully managing our
groundwater basin within sustainable yield, pursuing development of recycled water as it
becomes available, continuing
to add storage and dry year reliability to firm up our available
imported water supply, and continuing to work with the community to use water efficiently.”
The creation of the 2015
UWMP occurred over the
course of a year and included
opportunities for input from the
community, water partners, environmental groups, elected officials, business groups and other stakeholders during the three
community workshops and two
public hearings that were held
on the plan.
NCWD General Manager Steve
Cole said the UWMP process
was an excellent example of collaboration among the agencies
– and that collaborative spirit
carried through to unanimous
approval of the plan by both the
NCWD and CLWA boards.
“The participating water providers really value the opportunity to hear from the public,”
Cole said. “This is a public process that had plenty of valuable
input and we appreciate that.
The feedback we received from
the community helped us prepare a strong, well-thought-out
plan that thoroughly addresses
the community’s water needs
through the middle of the 21st
century.”
The final 2015 Urban Water
Management Plan will be delivered to the State Department
of Water Resources by July 1,
2016. The final draft and additional amendments that were
made at the recent board meetings are available for review
online at www.CLWA.org and
www.NCWD.org.

Now and Then:
The Auction - Years of Growth
By Linda Pedersen
Contributor
Second in a series
S
ince it first debuted in the dining room of
the Ranch House Inn in 1972, the Boys
and Girls Club Auction has been one of the
most anticipated events of the year on the
SCV social scene. As the valley grew, the auction kept pace, adding a growing cast of supporting characters. However, creator Tony
Newhall continued to play a key role in the
event’s logistics.
As time went by and new players became
involved, some of the earlier auctions’ unusual items diminished in number, replaced
by familiar consumer products like electronic
devices, household items, expensive jewelry,
and the always desirable, trips to exotic places. A silent auction was added in the auction’s
second year and grew to include hundreds of
items, which required large groups of volunteers to create and mount the corresponding
bid boards on the walls of the CalArts main
gallery.
During the mid ‘70s through the ‘80s, there
was the excitement of unexpected guest stars
like Roger Owens, the hugely popular vendor
from Dodger Stadium who thrilled the audience as he tossed bags of peanuts to individuals in the upper gallery and traded quips with
guests on the ground floor.
One year a torch singer draped across a piano crooned to diners in a specially created
“speakeasy.” Another year featured a performance by the popular ‘50s group, The Drifters. And yet another saw the addition of a
seemingly endless parade of exotic animals
from Magic Mountain. In 1983, the theme
was Around the World in 80 Days and guests
were awestruck as auctioneer Steve Wells descended from the CalArts upper gallery in a
hot air balloon.
As the size and scope of the auction grew, so
did the amounts of money raised. In 1975, organizers were thrilled when the total reached
$18,000. That amount more than doubled in
1976, when the event raised $37,500. Then,
in 1980, the auction broke the $100,000 mark.
Economic times have played, and continue
to play, a role in shaping the totals raised
each year, with high points far exceeding the
$100,000 mark. (Another dynamic involved
is the increase in the numbers of our valley’s
charitable organizations and their competing
fundraisers, many of which have adopted the
popular auction component). Even so, The
B&G Club Auction’s popularity continued
to draw larger crowds, which necessitated a
move in the ‘90s to empty warehouses in the
industrial center and, even later, to an outdoor venue at Mann Biomedical Park.
The growth of the auction and the growth of
the club went hand in hand. Executive director Bob Ross, who arrived at the helm in time
for the auction’s early successes, presided
over an organization made up of satellites
located on playgrounds at elementary and junior high school sites. Before cityhood, there
were few transportation services available to
connect the many diverse tracts which made
up our bedroom community. So the satellites
sprung up around the valley with on-site directors and assistants. Ross coordinated the
various programs, while also facilitating the
fundraising duties, including the acquisition
of United Way monies. The phenomenal success of the auction brought Ross to the attention of Boys and Girls Club executives at the
national and state levels, and in the ‘80s, he
was spirited away to high level administrative
offices.
Enter Executive Director Jim Ventress. He
had a vision of centralizing the club facilities, which coincided with like-minded Boys
and Girls Club board members Tom Veloz,
Tom Lee, and Dr. Clyde Smyth. These leaders embarked on a capital campaign that
received the financial sponsorship of the
growing business community, as well as longtime board members such as Tony Newhall,
Sam Garcia, Ken Determan, Rick Stephens,
Frank and Charlotte Kleeman, Barbara Giardina, Richard Luechtefeld, Tom Dierckman,
John Reardon, Sheldon and Pat Allen, Gary
Condie, Joe Schillaci, Steve Schmidt, Dick
Keysor, and Dan Bobroff.
Successful capital campaigns brought the
organization to its current state with two
central facilities, one in Newhall at Newhall
Park, and one in Canyon Country on the Sierra Vista Junior High School grounds. The
full-service facilities rely on funds raised each
year from United Way, the business community, and, of course, the annual auction.

Public Invited to Meeting
about Proposed Saugus
Library
T
he City of Santa Clarita will
host a public meeting to discuss
the proposed concept plan and location for the new Saugus Library
Center on Thursday, June 23 at 6
p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room at
Plum Canyon Elementary School,
located at 28360 Alfreds Way. No
RSVP is required to attend.
Attendees will receive a presentation on the proposed Saugus Library Center plan and proposed site
location, and will have the opportunity to share their thoughts.
The Santa Clarita Public Library has
three branches located in the communities of Canyon Country, Newhall and Valencia. To determine
what should be included in a new
library in the Saugus community,
city staff conducted a need assessment focusing on the future Saugus
Library service area. The feedback
received highlighted the need for a
multi-use facility that would serve
as a library community center and
include library, technology, innovation, meeting, recreation, art, events
and learning spaces.
The City of Santa Clarita intends
to locate, design, construct and program the Saugus Library Center by
the year 2020. The Saugus Library
Center is part of the City’s Santa
Clarita 2020 Community Strategic
Plan. Visit SantaClarita2020.com
for a complete list of projects, programs and services the City is working toward.

COC English Professor Has TwoGame ‘Jeopardy!’ Winning Streak
Q
uestion: On May 30 and 31, 2016,
this English professor from College of the Canyons won $54,999 on the
world-famous game show “Jeopardy!”
Answer: Who is Erin Delaney?
The assistant English professor beat
Buzzy Cohen, a nine-day champion, by
correctly answering two literature-related questions about Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island” and Oscar
Wilde’s
play
“Lady Windermere’s Fan.”
Being a “Jeopardy!” contestant
had been a lifelong dream of
Delaney’s, who
has
watched
the show for as
long as she can
remember.
and her episode was taped in March.
“I had a wonderful experience on the
show,” said Delaney. “Waiting to play
the game was a bit nerve-wracking, but
once things got started, I was able to focus.”
Time seemed to work differently on set,
noticed Delaney, with a 20-minute episode
feeling like two or three minutes. “The
five seconds I got to answer a question
can feel like
ages, especially if I wasn’t
sure it was the
right answer.
But suddenly,
watching the
show on TV,
ever ything
seemed timed
just right.”

“My brother and I will (record) episodes
and binge watch them together,” said
Delaney. “It’s one of our favorite ways
to bond.”
However, playing against fierce competitors, such as Cohen, added to the thrill.
“When I was preparing, I really wanted
to play against people who were good,”
said Delaney. “All of my dreams came
true with my fellow contestants. All the
people I played against were smart, fast,
and an absolute pleasure to meet.”
Even though Delaney had not read
Wilde’s “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” the
writer quickly came to mind when asked
about an 1890s playwright who was illustrated lounging with a cigarette in one
hand and a fan in the other.
“I got the answer right because Oscar
Wilde is the only playwright from that
time who I could picture lounging,” said
Delaney. “When Alex Trebek asked me
if I was thinking of ‘Lady Windermere’s
Fan’ when I wrote my answer, I replied ‘I
was thinking of lounging.’”
The TV game show’s selection process is
long, said Delaney, who took the online
test in January 2015 and auditioned to be
a contestant in July. The audition consisted of another test, a practice game,
and a short interview. She was invited
to play as a contestant in February 2016
The spring semester was in full
swing when Delaney was invited to tape
the show and she shared her excitement
with her students.
“They’ve been really enthusiastic about
it,” said Delaney. “I found out after the
show aired on Friday that they were
Snapchatting with each other during the
show. I’ve even had a few students from
previous semesters contact me to send
their well wishes.”
Delaney eventually lost to Tim Mercure, a new contestant, on her third
“Jeopardy!” appearance. According to
the game’s rules, she does not qualify to
return as a Tournament of Champions
contestant.
However, she plans to use her “Jeopardy!” winnings to fulfill another lifelong
dream next summer — visiting Italy.
“I’m a huge fan of Italian food, but I also
studied music in junior high and high
school,” said Delaney. “So much of music uses Italian vocabulary. For example,
musicians know to play loudly when
they see the Italian word ‘forte,’ which
means ‘strong.’ So, for me, Italian has
always been the language of music.”
Delaney has already been brushing up
on her Italian so that she can communicate competently during her trip.

OPINION
Measure E Recap
Where Do We Go From Here?
Lean to the Left
Brains on Both Sides
Sylvia Turner
Contributor
By Steve Petzold
Contributor
I
t certainly appears that Measure E is on its way to a narrow victory based upon
the most recent vote count. In nominal terms, the vote disparity is rather large
– 24,328 “yes” to 17,955 “no” votes. In terms of Prop 39 requirements, it was
much closer.
A super majority greater than 55 percent is required for passage. Measure E garnered about 57.5 percent, the narrowest bond victory in Los Angeles County.
Statewide, nearly 90 percent of bond measures passed.
Those of us who fear that another financial disaster is looming with the massive
increase in public agency debt could easily be discouraged. There are warning
signs all around us. States like Illinois, Kansas, and Michigan are desperately trying to find the funds to open schools in the fall. California has amassed over $400
billion in bond debt and unfunded liabilities, while recent budget projections and
tax receipts indicate significant shortfalls.
In terms of bond repayment rates, we are looking at the potential of a disastrous
scenario for taxpayers. Interest rates are posed to go up, with an unknown impact
upon assessment values. As we discovered with Measure M, a projected payment
rate of 9.73 per 100k assessment is already around 14.73 and will go up, because
there is money left to spend. The residents of the Santa Clarita Valley have not
paid the attention necessary to our community college district. I can’t even find
record of the last contested election.
It is my firm belief that we need to change out each of the COC trustees over
the next election cycles. Two trustees will be on the ballot in November. Have an
interest? Please consider running.
Almost as important is the necessity to place competent people on the Measure E
oversight committee who are not afraid to challenge the college’s staff.
Complete reform of the community college system is required at the state level,
due to the open enrollment and lack of meaningful matriculation standards. And
finally, the voters need to defeat the statewide facilities bond measure scheduled
to be on the ballot in November.
I thank those of you who gave careful consideration to the “No on Measure E”
message over the past several months. We faced very long odds, given the propensity of our fellow citizens to throw money at any problem, and the big money
special interests that gave “Yes on E” over $300,000 to finance their propaganda
effort.
T
he brains of Liberals are larger.
Well, at least the anterior cingulate cortex, or ACC, is. It detects conflict, enabling us to see the discrepancies between things we do out of habit
vs. what our true motivations are.
This is the gray matter that stops you
from doing something stupid.
Study after study confirms findings
like these. On the non-profit site
PLOS.org , devoted to reporting research from all disciplines, a study
funded by UC San Diego was cited.
Research supported the fact that Republicans are more influenced by
emotions than Democrats.
The ACC fires at a faster rate when detecting a difference between habit and
intentional action. In other words, a
Liberal knows when he or she is just
holding a position or supporting a
cause out of force of habit.
“The conservative brain is more sensitive to stimuli that carry emotional
weight,” the site says.
The larger part of the Conservative’s
brain is the amygdala, or emotion
center, where fear-based learning is
located.
Conservative young adults in the
study reacted more to threatening
stimuli. In other words, their fear center is more heightened and research
shows they have more anxiety and desire more structure.
Sound ironic?
In a study at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln and reported in Science
Magazine, researchers found that
Conservatives exhibited more fearful instinctual reactions than Liberals
did. That sensitivity leads Conservatives to be more driven by fear and
emotional rewards.
Some of the results were hilarious.
They looked at the bedrooms of subjects in the study. Conservatives had
more cleaning supplies and were more
organized, owning such items as ironing boards and calendars. Those on
the left had more travel décor and
books, denoting a love of ideas and
openness to new experiences.
A lot of Conservatives accuse the
Left of promoting policies because of
emotion – the whole “bleeding heart”
analogy. The truth is, brains on the
Right are the ones reacting to their
emotions.
As Emily Laber-Warren wrote in Scientific American, “When people feel
safe and secure, they become more
liberal; when they feel threatened,
they become more conservative.”
Well, knowing our brains are structurally different tells us – we don’t just
think and feel differently – we actually
are different!
Measure E was a small skirmish in a larger battle to stop the massive growth of
government and public agency debt. I urge you to stay engaged and informed.
Bryan Caforio: No Fly, No Buy
Calls on Steve Knight to Immediately Act to Keep Guns
Away from Suspected Terrorists
Bryan Caforio called on Representative Steve Knight
this week to immediately take action and vote in favor of commonsense legislation that would improve
the safety of Americans: Closing the loophole that
allows suspects on the FBI Terrorist Watchlist to
purchase firearms. Unlike Rep. Steve Knight, Bryan
Caforio believes that if you can’t be trusted to fly on
an airplane, you should not be able to buy firearms.
Following the tragedy in Orlando this weekend,
there is a continued focus on tough and smart policies to combat ISIS and help make Americans safer at home and abroad. Unfortunately, Rep. Steve
Knight continues to mislead voters about his record.
In January, Knight told the Ventura County Star
that “we must take steps to keep firearms out of the
hands of … terrorists,” then flew back to Washing-
ton, D.C., and voted for the 11th time to prevent a
vote on legislation that would keep lethal weapons
out of the hands of FBI’s Terrorist Watchlist suspects.
Bryan Caforio urged his opponent to allow consideration and debate on “No Fly, No Buy” legislation.
Caforio said:
“Keeping Americans safe at home – in their neighborhoods, sports arenas and schools – must be our
top priority in the face of tragedies like what we saw
this weekend in Orlando. We must take immediate
action and close the dangerous loophole that allows
suspected terrorists to legally buy firearms. If you’re
too dangerous to fly on an airplane, you should not
be able to buy a dangerous weapon.
“Unfortunately, my opponent does not agree, and
has voted 11 times to prevent a vote on legislation
that would close this dangerous loophole. We must
be tough and smart when it comes to fighting terror,
and I am urging Congressman Steve Knight to take
this simple step and vote to keep guns out of the
hands of suspected terrorists.”
Over the past decade, according to the GAO, thousands of suspected terrorists on the FBI’s Terrorist
Watchlist bought weapons in the United States. The
vast majority of Americans, even gun owners, have
long supported closing this loophole, which is likely
to have only increased since the tragedy in San Bernardino and other terror-related events.
Bryan Caforio and Rep. Steve Knight are running
for California’s 25th District Congressional seat,
which covers northern Los Angeles County and part
of Ventura County including the Antelope Valley,
Palmdale, Lancaster, Santa Clarita, and Simi Valley.

No Surprise in Orlando:
Sadly, it shouldn’t be a surprise this senseless, cowardly crap happened again.
It’s also no surprise the reaction from Obama, Hillary, John Kerry and other
lefties centered on fluffy rhetoric and gun control. The Donald, however, was
his verbal, unsanitized self, with blunt, kick-butt comments, which should
cause each of us to really ponder which candidate would do a better job of
keeping us safe.
It’s also not a surprise no one is bringing up what I always bring up when this
sort of thing happens. While the Orlando killings were certainly tragic, as
were the past attacks, they bring out a rash of emotions because of the terror
aspect. But shouldn’t the 289 people killed and 1,425 wounded in Chicago so
far this year alone cause the same sort of emotional angst? Why doesn’t the
Left bring up this weekly tragedy on any sort of regular basis, especially with
Chicago having some of the strictest gun laws around?
9
control, PTSD, terrorism, confederate flags, oppression, income inequality, and anything else known to stress man out is useless jaw movement. As much as you and I and
the rest of the world don’t want to believe it, there will be no end to this sort of tragedy.
Sad, but painfully true.
Still sad, but true; since the time of Adam and Eve, man has seen countless
unfair killings of innocent people. While it’s really hard to understand why,
what shouldn’t be hard to understand is God let on it was going to be this way
and all of our attempted understanding is futile. The word tells us, “Don’t lean
on our own understanding,” because if we do, these sorts of tragedies will make
us bonkers trying to figure the “whys” and “what fors.” All we can do is the
best we can do, to try and prevent them without the burden of understanding
why they happen.
Quotes of the Week:
“We are advised to not judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are
encouraged to judge all gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.” (Facebook post)
Selective Outrage:
Some call it selective outrage; I call it selective, disingenuous caring of whatever
suits the president’s approval rating at the time. Obama went to Orlando to
show support for the victims, which is commendable, but how many times
has he been to Chicago to show support for those victims? Nearly 4,000 people have been murdered there since he took office. Why doesn’t our president
show the same passionate concern for the victims in his home town the same
way he shows concern for the sensational shooting victims? You can tell a
lot about someone based on their selective outrage, especially when it reeks of
self-serving politics.
“Seems we constantly hear about how social security is going to run out of money.
How come we never hear about welfare running out of money? What’s interesting is
the first group worked for their money, but the second didn’t.” (Facebook post)
Ranter’s Note: The following was supposedly written by a 21-year-old young
lady, but even if that’s not the case, it’s still good stuff!
PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .
It’s Not Going to End Anytime Soon:
Put me in charge of food stamps. No cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Hos, just money for
50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can
haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Unfortunately, what we saw in Orlando will become more common as time
goes on. Political correctness, military restraint overseas, open borders, refuge welcoming, and just the sheer impossibility of eyes and ears being everywhere will enable the attacks to occur again and again.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and
nicotine. If you want to use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Of course, the Left and the media are peeing their pants over Trump’s remarks, such as: “The bottom line is that the only reason the killer was in America
in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here. That is a fact, and
it’s a fact we need to talk about. We have a dysfunctional immigration system which
does not permit us to know who we let into our country, and it does not permit us to
protect our citizens.”
Hillary counters with: “America is strongest when we all believe we have a stake in
our country and our future.” I don’t even know what the heck that means. But,
I sure know what Trump’s comments mean!
Hillary’s sentiments are the same as the guy who recently endorsed her and
the guy who controls her criminal destiny, but I digress. The continued sentiments of those two, along with doing the same damn thing we have been doing, will enable more of the same tragedies to strike. It seems to me Trump’s
aggressive attitude to try something different has a better chance of keeping
America safer.
Déjà Vu All Over Again:
Since this sick scene keeps recurring, I looked back for some of my own déjà
vu from a previous rant. This is what I wrote last year after another mass
shooting:
Face it, when Adam and Eve screwed up, the world became a mess from then until
now. God granted all people free will and allows for illness, and that illness, combined
with the free will, can wreck
the lives of others and our
"Loving God...
own. These sorts of tragedies
Loving Others" will continue to plague us
until you and I aren’t around
anymore and no amount of
attempted controls will stop
it.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will
maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject
to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV
or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report
to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22-inch rims and low
“common good.”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above
is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would
be “demeaning” and ruin their “self-esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that
taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered
self-esteem. If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them
for continuing to make bad choices.
AND while you are on government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that
is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove
yourself from voting while you are receiving a government welfare check. If you want
to vote, then get a job.
Letters to the Ranter:
Doug,
I just wanted to drop you a note to say how happy I am for you that you have reached
a compromise with your one time (adversary). I am sure you tossed & turned & spent
many sleepless nights over this 3 year ordeal. Sometimes we get so close to the forest
we cannot see the trees. Hopefully you newfound agreement (partnership) will be beneficial for all concerned & the Gazette will continue in operation for many more years.

I am happy to hear that you and Jeannie have resolved this difficult situation and can

COC Hosts Next Generation
Science Standards Training for
Local Teachers
C
ollege of the Canyons
recently hosted a fourday outreach training session
for William S. Hart Union
High School District science
teachers in preparation for
the implementation of Next
Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which were
formally adopted by the State
Board of Education in September 2013.
As part of that training, members from the college’s School
of Mathematics, Sciences,
and Health Professions offered handson activities that will
work best to support
content
standards
inside K-12 classrooms, while reinforcing the ongoing
training planned by
the Hart District science teachers and
local
elementary
school teachers.
Participating COC faculty
members included the following professors: Mary Bates
(geography), Dr. Consuelo
Beecher (chemistry), Teresa
Ciardi (astronomy/physical
science), Dr. Vince Devlahovich (geology), David Michaels (physics/engineering),
Ricardo Rosales (biological
sciences) and Dr. Eric Lara,
Mathematics,
Engineering, Science Achievement
(MESA) program director.
“We are excited to assist our
Hart District science colleagues with identifying the
most effective hands-on activities to engage high school
and middle school students,”
said Omar Torres, dean of
the college’s School of Mathematics, Sciences, and Health
Professions.
Offered through the college’s
Educational Outreach Alliance with local Santa Clarita
Valley school districts, the
NGSS training covered content in disciplines such as
chemistry, earth sciences, biology, physics and engineering.
The
implementation
of
NGSS is meant to improve
science education in schools
through a three-dimensional
approach: science and engineering practices, disciplinary
core ideas, and crosscutting
concepts. When combined,
each dimension provides a
cohesive understanding for
students by teaching them to
make connections between
biology, chemistry, earth science, physics and engineering. These research-based
standards also give teachers
more flexibility when creating learning experiences for students.
The transition to
NGSS in the Hart
district will occur
over the next several years, starting
with the rollout of
a pilot program
at junior high
schools
beginning this fall, said
Dave LeBarron, director of
Curriculum and Assessment
for the Hart district.
“Next year we will work with
our high schools to come to
agreement on a plan for rolling it out at the high school
level,” added LeBarron. Pilot
programs for high schools are
expected to start during the
COC to Offer Open Educational
Resource Degree Pathway Next Year
A
college degree that uses
free learning materials
instead of costly commercial
textbooks? What sounds like
a student’s impossible dream
is expected to become reality
at College of the Canyons by
fall 2017.
In an ongoing effort to make
a college education more
affordable for all students,
College of the Canyons is
expected to begin offering an
associate degree in sociology
in which all the classes use
Open Educational Resources
OERs. These include teaching and learning materials
that have been released in
the public domain or under
an intellectual property license as a no-cost alternative
to traditional textbooks.
By incorporating more OER
materials into course curriculum, COC students will soon
be able to earn an associate
degree by taking only OERbased courses that do not
require students to purchase
expensive college textbooks.
“We are very excited to be-
gin offering our students an
OER degree pathway to help
them reach their educational
goals without being deterred
by the price tag on college
textbooks,” said James Glapa-Grossklag, dean of Educational Technology, Learning Resources and Distance
Learning at the college.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office reported
that the cost of textbooks
grew at three times the rate
of inflation between 2002
and 2016. According to research by the non-profit organization College Board,
the average college student is
expected to spend more than
$1,200 a year on textbooks
and school supplies.
Already, the COC history,
geology, mathematics, biology, water technology, and
sociology departments regularly use OER materials.
It is estimated that COC
students save approximately
$800,000 each year by using
OER materials instead of
commercial textbooks.
The college’s Associated
Student Government (ASG)
recently passed a resolution
in favor of the use of OER
materials, encouraging “faculty to consider open education resources when academically appropriate.” The
COC ASG is also urging the
California legislature and
other state representatives to
support OER education as
a solution to rising textbook
costs.
“We hope that this first
OER-only degree program
will pave the way for other
OER courses at the college,”
said Glapa-Grossklag, who
was recently re-elected as the
president of the Open Education Consortium, a worldwide association of higher
education institutions committed to advancing open
education.
“Eventually, we would like
for each COC student to
have the option to complete
an associate degree program
with the sole use of OERs,”
he added.

Similar outreach training for elementary school science teachers in the Castaic, Newhall,
Sulphur Springs, and Saugus

to students also applies to the
next generation of scholars and
scientists in our very own community,” said Torres. “We are
confident that these new standards will increase scientific
literacy in schools and foster a
lifelong passion for science in
students.”

voters approving Measure E by a 57.59 percent majority, College of the Canyons
will have the resources needed
to meet the demands of growing student enrollment.
The college was originally
designed in 1967 for a capacity of 5,000 students at buildout, but now serves more than
20,000 students at the Valencia and Canyon Country campuses. Projections estimate
that student enrollment will
surpass 30,000 in little more
than a decade. Measure E will
enable the college to expand
its facilities and help students
enroll in courses they need to
graduate and reach their educational goals.
“With the resources voters
made available through Measure E, College of the Canyons will expand access to
high quality education and
create more opportunities
for the students, businesses,
and community partners we
serve,” Chancellor Dr. Dianne
G. Van Hook said. “Measure
E also positions the college
to be responsive to emerging
workforce training demands
as the Santa Clarita Valley’s
dynamic economy continues
to thrive.”
Recent estimates show that
by 2020, nearly two-thirds of
job openings in the U.S. will
require some postsecondary
education or training, though
not necessarily a bachelor’s
degree. With 1 million jobs
in California expected to require at least some college
education by 2020, College
of the Canyons will play an

area’s companies.
“With new facilities, College
of the Canyons can continue
to deliver relevant education
and training programs that
are responsive to emerging
and ever-evolving local industry needs, thus equipping students to be successful in cutting-edge fields,” Van Hook
said.
Measure E adhered to the
guidelines of Proposition 39,
which requires approval by 55
percent of the voters within
the college district. It also
includes accountability measures such as a citizens’ oversight committee and annual
audits. The measure’s impact
on homeowners would be $15
per $100,000 of assessed value (not market value), which
would generate $230 million
over the next 12 years.
College of the Canyons operates two campuses, a 154-acre
site in Valencia and a 72-acre
facility in Canyon Country.
On the day it opened in 2007,
the Canyon Country campus
exceeded its five-year enrollment target, welcoming more
than 3,500 students. Due
to its continued enrollment
growth, the campus is eligible
to receive 85 percent of the
construction costs of three
permanent buildings from the
state, only if the college has
local funding to match state
resources, and assuming state
resources are available. Measure E will assist the college in
leveraging available state resources for construction projects at both campuses.

Mo’ Hair Wig & Extension Bar
G
iving the community an opportunity to get hair extensions at a price
they can afford is the goal for Margo Grant, who just opened Mo’
Hair Wig & Extension Bar in Santa Clarita.
“Those are the most natural looking and the most versatile,” Grant says.
“A lot of people like them because you can put your hair up in a ponytail
… you can wear your hair half up and half down.”
“Here you come with hair already washed, dried and ready to go,” she
says. “It keeps the cost down, so everybody can get extensions.”
The tape-ins and the sew-ins take about 45 minutes to an hour, she says,
and they cause the least damage to the hair. I-tips take 2-6 hours to complete.
There are a few hairdressers at Grant’s salon who do full-service styling, which she did for many years before specializing and perfecting the
handiwork involved with hair extensions.
The hair extensions come in all colors and shades, which you purchase
separately.
There are three types that customers can choose from. “Sew-ins,” involve
a French braid in a u-shape, that the stylist sews into the customer’s hair.
Most of the clients at Mo’ Hair are teenagers, but Grant has removed Itips and replaced them with tape-ins for a 65-year-old.
The “Tape-in” process includes a piece of hair extension with two-sided
tape that you sandwich in. It can be used if you just want a highlight of
extensions, “like a peek-a-boo of pink hair in the front or highlighted
strips in your hair,” Grant said.
“I started doing extensions because of my own hair,” Grant explains. “I
have had really fine, thin hair my whole life. When I got out of beauty
school I took special classes. I did full service for 25 years and this last
year I started a specialty salon because I love to do extensions.”
“It gives you a flatter look and it lasts longer in straight hair.”
Mo’ Hair is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. The salon is
located at 24881 Railroad Avenue in Santa Clarita; (951) 712-1097.
I-tip hair extensions are the most time-consuming, says the new business
owner. The stylist clips tiny metal bead-like pieces, sometimes as many
as 400 of them.

Final LifeForward Workshops
for the 2015-16 Session
Z
onta Club of SCV will close the spring
2016 series of its free LifeForward
workshops for women with a panel presentation titled “Increase Confidence in
Yourself,” which teaches participants how
to feel good, increase self-confidence and
enjoy friendship. The series concludes Saturday, June 18, running from 10 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. in Savia Community Center,
23780 Newhall Avenue in Newhall.
The workshop will be presented by Aazam
Irillan, whose topic is Heal the heART!;
Mariana Gaviria, who will teach each participant how to be a Person of Value; and
Sally Van Swearingen, who will cover “If
I can do it, you can do it!” Following the
panel presentation, workshop participants
will review prospective topics for future
workshops and help select the programs
that are of most value to them. Recognition awards will be presented to women
for outstanding ongoing attendance at the
2015-16 workshops, and a social time will
give participants and guests time to celebrate, network and enjoy each other.
Irillan is a professional artist, and a certified Thera-peutic Imagery & Social Emotional Arts Practitioner. Gaviria is an event
specialist for the Center Theatre Group
in Los Angeles, a Woodbury University
senior event organizer, and a recent participant in the Elevator Pitch Competition
Seminar. She is this year’s winner of Zonta
Club of SCV’s Jane M. Klausman Women
in Business scholarship. Van Swearingen
is the author of “It’s Not Over Yet,” and
a facilitator to help women own their own
weaknesses, recognize their own strengths
and “be themselves.” Irillan became a new
Zonta member this month and Van Swearingen joined the club earlier in the 2015-16
year.
Women who arrive by the 10 a.m. workshop start time are entered in a drawing for
a free gift certificate. Free childcare is available for women who register at least one
week in advance at (661) 288-0117. Spanish translation also can be provided with
advance request.
Previous workshops in the series have
helped women select career options and
pursue meaningful employment, work on
goal setting and time management, set
budgets and file taxes, and go after financial support after a divorce. Workshops
are designed to help participants believe in
their unlimited power and potential, build
the skills necessary to succeed, and be the
powerful women they are meant to be, according to Zonta leaders.
Zonta offers the free LifeForward workshops, usually on a monthly basis (although the series will be dark during July
and December), in cooperation with Single Mothers Outreach, Domestic Violence
Center, Habitat for Humanity Returning
Women Veterans and Los Angeles County
Department of Child & Family Services.
Workshops are organized by topics in
which women express interest. A schedule
of upcoming workshops will be posted on
www.scvzonta.org once participant input
has been tallied and future programs have
been organized.

Non-Profit of the Week
College of the Canyons Foundation
T
he College of the Canyons (COC) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit auxiliary organization formed to generate philanthropic support for College of the Canyons. The COC Foundation is governed by a
board of directors who are an enthusiastic and committed group of volunteer business and community leaders who donate their time, resources
and energy to positively impact educational access in the Santa Clarita
Valley. The board’s mission is to provide an affordable and accessible
college education for all individuals who have the desire to succeed.
Like other educational institutions, College of the Canyons needs charitable gifts to endow scholarships and to support educational programs and
capital improvements, which can mean the difference between ordinary
and extraordinary programs and services for student success. Through
annual giving, special events and scholarship programs, the foundation
provides the college with crucial private financial resources.
Contributions of cash, real estate, bequests and other legacy gifts enable
the college to provide specialized educational programs and perform beyond the achievement level that tax dollars alone can support. Each year,
the foundation grants funds to support college programs. In the past, it
has granted as much as $2.9 million back to the college.
College of the Canyons
College of the Canyons has served the Santa Clarita Valley for 40 years
and has become a vital, enduring, cultural, educational, and economic
force in the region. The college is proud to have modern facilities, an out-
standing and enthusiastic
staff, innovative programs,
and advanced technological solutions.
Those who are currently
involved with the college
and those who will enter its doors in the future
will find opportunities, a
chance to be innovative
and entrepreneurial and to set the stage for things to come.
The college has been one of the fastest-growing colleges in California. Enrollment has grown from 800 students in 1969 to more than
20,000 in 2016.
The Foundation’s Mission
The College of the Canyons Foundation provides financial support for
the Santa Clarita Community College District. This allows College of
the Canyons to perform beyond the achievement level that tax dollars
alone can support and to strive for the highest levels of excellence in
teaching, scholarship, vocational training and innovation. The Foundation believes that public educational institutions and private enterprise
must work together to provide an affordable and accessible college education for all who have the desire to succeed.
Hero of the Week
Doris Marie Zimmer
D
oris Marie Zimmer exemplifies what College
of the Canyons is all about. She went back to
school later in life, juggling the responsibilities of
work and family to complete her Master’s Degree
through the University Center. She is an example
of perseverance for students who find themselves
in similar situations. Moreover, she is also an inspiration to everyone involved in community service,
which is why the College of the Canyons Foundation nominated her for Woman of the Year.
Doris Marie has provided leadership for the Foundation board retreats over the last three years, offering board members the necessary training and
skills they need to be effective volunteers. Her efforts have resulted in a more engaged, energized
and motivated group of volunteers reflecting the
success the Foundation has experienced during her
tenure as board chair. Under her leadership, the
Foundation has generated substantial resources to
support the campaign for the College’s new Culinary Arts building and student scholarships. Her
strategic thinking and vision has provided leadership in the development of a new strategic plan allowing the Foundation to become more focused on
fundraising priorities. In addition, she raised over
$10,000 in the recent “Dancing with Our Stars”
event in support of the college’s K-12 Arts Education initiative.
When talking with Doris Marie, it is clear that her
involvement stems from a sincere motivation to
help others and make the Santa Clarita community
a better place to live. Her attitude seems to inspire
others to pitch in and do what they can to help. Below are some of the other organizations who have
also received Doris Marie’s involvement:

Exotic Cats Twilight Tour
Jun 17 - Jun 23, 2016
By Martha Michael
Gazette Editor
I
f you always wanted to see what wild cats do at night, the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound’s Feline Conservation Center, or
EFBC, has an event you should attend.
On June 25, the facility’s Twilight Tour will enable visitors to have a
chance to see one of the world’s largest collections of rare wild feline
species during evening hours, when they are most active. The public
can witness animal behaviors not ordinarily seen during normal zoo
experiences.
This year, EFBC has seen the births of African Sand Cat and Pallas’
Cat litters, as well as the arrival of young Malayan Tigers. A highlight of the evening will be enrichment items (toys) given to EFBC
felines to pique their interest, as well as provide amusing entertainment for the center’s visitors. Guests are invited to bring cameras and
video equipment if they choose. Felines not ordinarily on exhibit to the general
public will also be available for viewing.
The Lancaster Rotary will provide barbecue food, and the American Association of Zookeepers EFBC Chapter will host a bake sale. There will also be a
raffle for guests who participate.
The Twilight Tours are an integral part of EFBC’s public awareness and educational programs to promote endangered species preservation and conservation. All proceeds from the event will be used to continue EFBC’s endangered
wild feline species preservation and breeding programs, as well as construction,
maintenance projects and animal habitat improvements.
Attendees must be 18 years or older, no exceptions. The doors open at 5:30 p.m.
and Advance Ticketholders are allowed entrance at 5:00 p.m. Admission is $20

City Sidewalk provides a complete picture of the rehabilitation effort, with details about

houses more than 70 rare wild felines, representing 18 wild feline species.
Guests can visit the EFBC during its regular business hours, daily 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. (closed Wednesdays), and view large wildcats that include the familiar jaguars and leopards, as well as smaller and lesser known species, such as
Southeast Asian Fishing Cats and Margays. There is a small admission cost,
but parking is free. Since 1977, the EFBC has
been working with other zoos and facilities,
worldwide, in an effort to save endangered feline
species from extinction. For more information,

‘Gazette Radio Hour Cancelled’
Doug Sutton said he understands that every business owner has a unique set
of responsibilities.
“I respect what Carl and Jeri provide this valley,” said Sutton, co-host of the
“Gazette Radio Hour” with John Rogers. “And while I don’t agree with their
decision, I understand it’s their radio station and their prerogative.”
Rogers was also disappointed.
“I thought we were providing a service to the community, and there’s no other
local programming on the radio station that’s providing the type of local information we were providing,” Rogers said. “Although we don’t really know who
was listening, because they don’t do ratings at KHTS, the feedback we were
getting was really good.”
It was a tough decision to cancel the show, said Seratti-Goldman, whose
choice is a means to mitigate potential problems down the line.
“I don’t foresee any changes with the new ownership of the Gazette,” Rogers
said. “The only person who tried to exercise editorial control over the radio
show was the radio station. And we didn’t let them do that.”
The two former radio hosts have no plans to wrap up their show permanently.
“KHTS is a valuable and necessary news source in our valley and I will miss
the weekly contact,” Doug Sutton said. “John and I hope to reach our listeners
through a different avenue, hopefully within a few weeks.”

On This Date in SCV History:
IN EONS GONE BY …
• The valley’s Ross Perot of his day, Henry Clay
Needham was born on June 8, 1851. Needham was
SCV’s only serious presidential candidate, running
in 1920 as the Prohibitionist Party’s favorite son.
He got stricken with food poisoning the morning of
the convention and couldn’t accept his own party’s
nomination. He also ran two other times and, while
he did capture a decent single-digit number of votes,
he never carried his own Santa Clarita Valley in all
the elections, including a run for California senator. Heard of Arcadia or Kansas streets in Newhall?
They’re named after Needham’s hometown —Arcadia, Kansas.
• Back in 1919, Val Verde’s Taylor Simpson started
his first day of what would be a nearly half-century
career working as a waiter on the VIP passenger cars
for Southern Pacific. He served a who’s who, from
Eleanor Roosevelt to William Randolph Hearst (both
liked steaks). He went to work on The Imperial, the
elegant private car that crisscrossed the country. Not
all trips were easy. The train a few times was almost
upended by Kansas tornadoes and stranded for three
days in a blizzard. Sometimes Simpson and The Imperial took VIPs to Mexico, where dozens of armed
federales joined them to fight off bandits.
• On June 12, 1868, the Soledad Post Office was established in Ravenna, a now-defunct community that
used to rest between Acton and Agua Dulce. Ravenna was briefly called Soledad City and boasted 1,000
souls. But the feds wouldn’t deliver mail to OUR
Soledad City because there was ANOTHER Soledad
City in Northern California and confusion reigned.
The problem was solved when OUR Soledad City’s
filthy grocer, Mike O’Reilly, suggested they rename
the town “Ravenna” after his pal and stage driver,
Manuel Ravenna, who originally hailed from Genoa, Italy.
90 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1926 ...
• The Midway Gas Company opened a new spigot
that sent petroleum to the Newhall Refinery, which
was right at the town entrance, near where Hart Park
is today. The oil washed over two giant scrubbers
and other processing, then was stored in big holding
tanks. The close proximity of something that volatile
bothered many locals and a few years later, the whole
Newhall Refinery would be moved up to Beale’s Cut.
In 1926, the plant produced about 5,000 gallons —
not barrels — a day.
• Horse and cattle thieves were using a relatively new
invention to steal livestock here in the SCV — the
truck.
80 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1936 ...
• While it’s almost impossible to find cattle in the
SCV today, the valley was rich in livestock. Newhall

• It was a trying week for the local CHP. Two officers
pulled over a family in a stolen car. The father attacked one of the officers, grabbed his gun and shot
him in the leg. The officer wrestled for the gun and
the CHP officer and his partner shot the man dead —
in front of the wife and their five-year-old son sitting
in the front seat of the stolen car.
• Then, a few days later, officers pulled over a VW
van after a high speed chase. The driver tried to run
over one of the officers, then was shot in the shoulder
as he roared by. The VW went over an embankment
and burst into flames. As the two CHP officers were
pulling the wounded driver out, they noticed the
flames from the van’s overheated catalytic converter
had touched off a small brush fire, which caught
THEIR patrol car on fire. It, too, burst into flames.
The perp had more than 20 arrests for drunk driving
and driving without a license.

The Purpose of a County Bail Schedule
By Robin Sandoval
Contributor
T
he experience of many who are arrested in California may follow a similar path. The arrestee is taken to the police/sheriff station, photographed,
fingerprinted, and a national background check is conducted to search for any
outstanding warrants, parole holds, immigration holds, etc. This is the procedure known as “booking and processing” and members of law enforcement
across California adhere to this practice.
Defendants will have to go before a judge to have their bail set if allowed.
Known as an arraignment, this is a person’s first court appearance, which may
include a judge, lawyer or court appointed public defender, and the defendant.
An arraignment (which is not a trial) is used to determine whether or not the
defendant is eligible for bail and how high bail will be set. Additionally, this is
when defendants are informed of the charges against them.
Once booking and processing is complete, defendants in some areas of the
state can be immediately bailed out of jail, while individuals in different areas
must first go before a judge. The reason for this is because some areas adhere
to a county bail schedule, while others do not.
One of the up-sides to having bail granted at an arraignment is that a lawyer
present for the defendant can argue to have the bail reduced, (bail reduction)
or have the defendant released on his/her own recognizance, also called O.R.
The down-side to the arraignment process is that it must happen during court
business hours, and therefore must be scheduled, meaning the defendant must
remain in custody until that happens.
Most police, sheriff stations and jails have a posted bail schedule that details
the amount of money required to bail someone out of jail, depending on
the crime(s) he/she is suspected of committing. Once a defendant has been
booked, any areas that use their county bail schedules will allow the defendant
to post bail at the police station or jail at which they’re located, once they are
clear of any holds, and if a judge allows the suspect bail.
Bail schedules can (and will) vary widely, depending on the severity of the
crime, the area the defendant was booked in, any prior arrest records, and the
individual’s residency. For example, bail amounts for misdemeanors tend to
range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, while bail amounts for
felonies will invariably be several thousand dollars – if not more.
Finally, the county bail schedule provides that if a person is arrested at 10 p.m.
on a Saturday, the defendant can be bailed out that very night, instead of having to sit in jail and wait until the first arraignment, which can only take place
during business hours Monday through Friday.

Canyon Cowboys Return to Greatness
The air is crisp and refreshing early morning at Canyon High School. And while the spring semester
ended two weeks ago, the athletes of the Canyon
Cowboys Football team are already practicing their
craft and preparing for the start of the fall season.
Last year’s squad finished 2-8, but instead of dwelling on the negativity of their record, Coach Rich
Gutierrez and the entire Cowboy team are focusing
on areas of growth.
“We had a lot of young players last year, but they still
got stronger as they went,” Gutierrez said. “When
you have seasons of that nature, it helps you grow in
a lot of ways.”
When any football team finds itself in a rebuilding
process, it is pivotal for there to be an anchoring
force that helps younger players focus not only on the
games at hand, but also on developing and maturing as athletes. Canyon fortunately has its consistent
fixture on the offensive side of the ball in senior quarterback, Miles Fallin.
“He was the Santa Clarita Valley Newcomer of the
Year as a sophomore,” Gutierrez said. “And the potential definitely excites me; he’s built like a prototypical passing quarterback.”
Fallin’s junior season saw him throw for more than
1,500 yards with a touchdown-to-interception ratio
of 10-4. Standing at 6-foot 5-inches and weighing 195
pounds, Fallin has the physical tools to succeed at the
quarterback position and, with a summer of work, he
can build upon his early accomplishments and help
take the Cowboys to the next level.
The long hours that every team in Santa Clarita puts
into practice are not the only way they ready themselves for regular season competition. Schools from
Jun 17 - Jun 23, 2016
By Keir Chapman, Mr. Sports
Contributor
the SCV and surrounding areas take part in a summer league known as The Passing League. This little secret of Santa Clarita football consists of teams
playing in 7-on-7 matches in an effort to simulate a
real football environment and work out any kinks in
the game plan.
“For us, it’s good for building the chemistry between
the quarterbacks and receivers. For defensive players,
it helps them identify where they need to be,” Gutierrez said. “Those routes don’t change (in the regular
season), so it’s just high amounts of repetition.”
This past weekend saw the playing of the 14th annual
Saugus Under the Lights Tournament, which is a traditional Passing League tournament played at Central Park. This year, Hart took the crown, while Canyon fought hard but ultimately came up short against
Bishop Alemany in the quarterfinals.
The history of greatness that precedes Canyon High
football, including a win against De La Salle High
School in the State Division 1 Championships during the 2006 season, has the potential to put great
pressure on the head coaches leading such a storied
program. Coach Gutierrez does not see it that way,
however.
“It’s a blessing when you have the opportunity to
coach in a program so steeped in tradition,” Gutierrez said. “You feel special; you actually feel unique,
because it’s a small group.”
As Coach Gutierrez puts it, there’s a “renewed excitement” around this Canyon Cowboy football team.
All the factors appear to be lining up for this group of
young athletes to make the jump from rebuild to CIF
contenders. Like every year, the competition among
the Santa Clarita schools will be tough, but Canyon
is ready to throw itself into the mix on their road to a
return to greatness.
Saugus Under the Lights Results
Behind the quarterback play of Nick Moore, the
fourth seeded Hart High School defeated Chaminade High in the final round of the Saugus Under
the Lights Tournament, 29-13. This was after the
Hart Indians were taken to the wire against Bishop
Alemany, winning their semifinal matchup 23-22.
The Golden Valley Grizzlies swept pool play to
earn the second seed. Although they were ousted by
Moorpark in the first round of seeded play, Golden
Valley is showing it’s a program on the rise.
Valencia High School earned the seventh seed and
lost in the first round to eventual tournament runnerups, Chaminade. The Vikings finished with a 3-2 record for the tournament.
Canyon and Saugus entered seeded play ranked eight
and ninth, respectively. In their first round matchup
against one another, the Cowboys got the better of
the Centurions and moved on to face Bishop Alemany, who ended Canyon’s run in the quarterfinals.
West Ranch entered seeded play as the eleventh seed
and were matched up against Oaks Christian in the
first round. The sixth seeded squad out of Thousand
Oaks proved to be too much for the Wildcats, who
lost to Oaks Christian in the first round.
More Passing League games can be seen at the Harry Welch Stadium on the campus of Canyon High
School every Thursday night during the summer offseason.

How to Build a Good Excel Spreadsheet
By Warren Schultz
Contributor
A
well thought out and well-built Excel spreadsheet can be worth far more
than the cost of the labor required to create it. On the flipside, a poorly
designed Excel spreadsheet can create losses many times over that cost.
Here are some principles and techniques to use in creating strong, functional
spreadsheets that earn their keep and work to your best advantage. Please note
that the comments in this article are intended to serve as basic guidelines and
suggestions, not hard and fast rules.
In approaching spreadsheet creation, there are several points to emphasize.
First, no set of principles or standards can guarantee freedom from error. The
design, maintenance and operation of spreadsheets are still carried out by people.
The business environment in which spreadsheets are created, maintained and
used can be just as important as the content of the spreadsheet. A spreadsheet
may not only convey facts and figures, but also attitudes, opinions, biases and
projections. Don’t forget that users may “read between the lines” in a spread
sheet just as much as they may do in a letter. Make sure that your spreadsheet
represents your best practices.
Before starting, satisfy yourself that a spreadsheet is the appropriate tool for the
job.
Determine what role the spreadsheet will play in your business, and plan your
spreadsheet standards and processes accordingly. If your company does not
already have one, adopt a standard for your organization and stick to it.
Make sure the creator of the spreadsheet knows your company’s style, and
understands the spreadsheet’s purpose. Is it for sales? For accounting? Inventory?
Scheduling? Many spreadsheets are used by several departments. Make sure the
spreadsheet can be read and utilized by all who will use it and that it is consistent
with your company’s practices or your personal needs if you are setting a
spreadsheet up for your home finances.
Ensure that everyone involved in the creation or use of the spreadsheet has an
appropriate level of knowledge and competence. Give the spreadsheet users an
opportunity to provide input sooner, rather than later, to save on revisions. Don’t
limit input to just upper management. All levels of users may have important
contributions to make that will benefit the company as a whole.
As the creator (author) of the spreadsheet you need to know both the program and
the needs of the company to incorporate the information into the spreadsheet.
Know who can help and where additional information may be obtained. Make
sure the data is accurate and current. Consider if you need to incorporate past
history. Perhaps the author will need to bring in raw data from different sources
and formats into the new Excel spreadsheet. Check to make sure the spreadsheet
will be compliant with regulatory laws if applicable.
Consider if data from different program sources and formats will need to
be converted into the Excel spreadsheet. Also look at security, privacy and
formatting issues when converting the inserted material. Metadata may need to
be removed. Tables, for example, may be shared by Word and Excel.
Be structurally consistent. Check to see that the styles match up throughout the
document and that it conforms to company practices. If there are many columns,
consider republishing headers on each page so the reader doesn’t have to flip
back to identify the column on subsequent pages. It may seem unimportant, but
putting the document date, edition, and page numbers in easy to find places helps
users know if they are in the most current version and helps them find an older
one when needed.
Simplicity is golden. Avoid using advanced features where simpler features
could achieve the same result.
Consider if Macros can help. Macros are instructions that tell the Excel how to
do something. One of the best things about macros is they can run processes a
business needs in a fraction of the time it may take someone to do by hand.
Be consistent in the use of formulas. Keep formulas as short and simple as
possible. Don’t embed anything that might change or need to be changed in a
formula. Set formulas up in specific cells and reference them.
Perform a calculation once and then refer back to that calculation. Try not to
repeat calculations that can be referred back to a single cell.
Have a system of backup and version control. This should be applied consistently
within an organization.
Rigorously test the workbook – have more than one person test it. Also test
both the normal and abnormal limits of the spreadsheet to make sure it can
withstand unforeseen circumstances. Double check your work. Make sure every
link routes to the correct cells. For example, does each formula cover the correct
range of cells and calculate the data accurately?
Build in checks, controls and alerts from the outset and during the course
of spreadsheet design. Be sure you have appropriate error handling so that if
something does go wrong, the entire spreadsheet is not lost or corrupted.
Take the user’s comfort into consideration. Ensure that the worksheets print
out cleanly and are formatted properly for the paper size and printer. Can
they be read without squinting? Are the page breaks in places where they keep
information together that needs to be together, or do they split important pieces
of information apart? Do portions of the spreadsheet that may have been copied
in match up with the new material, or does your spreadsheet have that “cut and
paste” look? Make sure all the workbook pages in your document are clearly
marked.
Protect parts of the workbook that are not supposed to be changed by users.
Keep a back-up copy. Make sure someone else in the company can maintain and
update the spreadsheet if the creator is not available.
Warren Schultz is the owner of TAP Solutions, a company providing spreadsheet design, troubleshooting and data conversion. You can reach Warren at
(818) 281-7628 or visit http://www.TAPSolutions.net.
Identify the audience. Think about who the readers and users of your spreadsheet
are and will be. If a spreadsheet is intended to be understood and used by others,
the design should facilitate this. The sophistication levels of internal and external
audiences may be different. Be careful in using abbreviations, nicknames,
acronyms, and terms of art. Sometimes plain language is best, or terms should
be explained or spelled out the first time they are used, but can be shortened after
that. Clarity saves time and eliminates misunderstandings.
Organizing the spreadsheet in a logical manner aids in efficiency. Can the
reader quickly find the information he or she needs? Do you want to organize the
spreadsheet chronologically, alphabetically, by topic or by the steps in a process?
If the spreadsheet covers new territory, perhaps it requires instructions. If the
spreadsheet has many parts, a table of contents, index or dashboard will help
users find the information they need faster. Make sure that the spreadsheet is
readily searchable.
Design for longevity. How far into the future will this data be used? Think of
it as a life expectancy. A well-planned spreadsheet should allow for growth and
expansion. Also think about possible links to other spreadsheets or data sources.
Focus on the required outputs. Separate and clearly identify inputs, workings
and outputs. A color coding scheme for the cells may be helpful here.
It is important to visualize the final product and the user’s environment.
Consider if the data is to be produced or represented in the form of charts,
graphs or tables. Will the spreadsheet compare data from one year to the next?
How will the spreadsheet be published (on paper, electronically, or be sent to
another program) may also impact the creator’s decisions.
