Another Run for
Candidate Kellar
Bob Kellar does not take his duties and obligations to the city lightly. If an issue comes before the
Santa Clarita City Council, Kellar ensures he has done his homework to fully understand what’s at
stake before he votes.
“Your job is to make yourself as knowledgeable as you can about a host of issues,” he said. “It’s an
ongoing responsibility of reviewing things that come before me.”
Whether it’s Cemex, the chloride issue, the Whittaker-Bermite cleanup, the Laemmle theatre or a
pay raise for the council, Kellar says he tries his best to obtain all the information, work with the
necessary people and then vote what’s best for the community as a whole.
He’s done this for 16 years, including this year as mayor, and he hopes to win a fifth four-year term
come November. He’s one of two incumbents (TimBen Boydston is the other) in a field of 11.
“I'm honored to have been able to serve the community,” he said. “I hope I’ve done a good job. I
sincerely try my best to be as good a councilmember and mayor for a city I think it is a remarkable
city.”
Kellar has lived here since 1979 (in the same house, he notes) and has served on the now-defunct
Canyon Country Chamber of Commerce (he said he was its last president before it merged with
the Santa Clarita Chamber to form the SCV Chamber), chaired the Frontier Days rodeo, and
joined the local Red Cross and American Cancer Society boards.

Kellar
“I’ve met so many great people,” he said. “I’m impressed with the people who live out here. … I have
met people who are very engaged in the community.
I’ve enjoyed my association with them.”
But it was his appointment to the Planning Commission in 1997 that first put Kellar into city government. He ran and won a council seat three years
later.
In this term, he has had more successes than failures.
He considers the fight with Cemex among his greatest victories, although he is quick to point out that
he alone didn’t win; it almost always is a team effort.
“You say, ‘I solved Cemex.’ No you didn’t. No one
person solves that,” he said. “It’s everybody doing
what they can on an issue.”
Cemex, a Mexico-based multinational building materials company, has long wanted to mine in Soledad
Canyon and won two contracts from the Bureau of
Land Management in 1990 to mine 56 million tons
of sand and gravel. But community leaders have
long objected, and the Bureau of Land Management
canceled the mining contracts Aug. 28, 2015.
The fight isn’t over. Cemex has appealed to the Dept.
of the Interior’s Board of Land Appeals. But Kellar
promises to remain vigilant.
Kellar also places the Whittaker-Bermite matter in
the win column. Almost 1,000 acres of land was
found decades ago to contain pollutants including
uranium and a salt called perchlorate, which interferes with the thyroid gland’s ability to uptake iodide
salts.
Kellar and others have stayed vigilant to ensure the
landowners, most notably Whittaker Corp, which
bought the land from the Bermite Powder Co. in
1967, continue to clean up and decontaminate the
land.
The mayor also is very pleased about the Hometown
Hero Banner program in which active service men
and women are honored with banners that hang
along various roads. And he voted in favor of bringing a Laemmle Theatres group to Old Town Newhall.
Some people objected to giving the Laemmle family
some $3.4 million to build the auditoriums. Kellar
understands, but insists the community wanted it,
though he added he would have preferred no subsidy.
He also voted against a council pay raise, even though
he now said he has done enough work to earn it. “I
was fine with whatever happened. I was fine with the
money we made, so I voted no,” he said.
A major loss in Kellar’s term was his inability to get
the state to raise the maximum amount of chloride
in the water that is discharged into the Santa Clara
River from 100 milligrams per liter. It will cost millions to build the necessary infrastructure, which gets
passed to the consumers.
“It’s going to ultimately cost families a great deal of
money,” Kellar said. “It’s a terrible injustice to our
citizens.”
Assembly Passes Bill
to Name Highways for
Runner, Chimbole
Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, and Assemblyman Tom Lackey, R-Palmdale, presented Assembly Concurrent Resolution 138, which would
name a portion of State Highway Route 14 as the
Senator Sharon Runner Memorial Highway and
name a portion of State Route 138 in Palmdale for
the World War II veteran and former mayor of Palmdale, Larry Chimbole.
ACR 138 unanimously passed the Assembly.
“I feel blessed to have known Sharon as both a mentor and friend. Her love of California and compassion towards others is what made her an exceptional
and well-respected leader,” Wilk said.
Sharon Runner was a lifelong resident of Lancaster
who served in the California State Assembly from
2002 until 2008, and the California State Senate in
2011, as well as 2015-2016. Before her political career,
Senator Runner cofounded Desert Christian Schools.
Senator Runner passed away on July 14, 2016.
“Larry Chimbole was instrumental in making Antelope Valley what it is today,” said Lackey. “Naming these sections of highway in honor of these great
leaders will serve as a small token of their legacy for
positive change in our community.”
The next steps in naming both memorials require
Caltrans to produce signs and schedule ceremonies.
The dates of those ceremonies are to be determined
at a later date.
“Mr. Antico’s skill in mediation was extremely helpful in

Donations Sought for
Valley View Community
School Playground
By Martha Michael
Gazette Editor
T
he community is invited to be a
part of a building effort in the Sulphur Springs Union School District.
Children with severe needs within the
district attend Valley View Community
School, and the playground’s design
should show it, say some community
leaders.
Sulphur Springs Union School District
Superintendent Dr. Catherine Kawaguchi gave a presentation to the SCV
Rotary Club last week explaining the
need for a universally designed play
area. District leaders are applying the 7
Principles of Inclusive Playground Design™ to the project, which expands accessibility to people of all abilities and
encourages physical and social activity
through inclusive play.
The aim is for a play space with a developmentally appropriate design to
address the needs of the whole child.
There are several proposed designs for
possible installation on the playground.
A 10-Panel A-Maze Funstation would
provide tactile and sensory stimulation to engage young children, featuring interactive panels with motion and
sound.
Tilt-N-Twirl would provide motion
activities to develop kinesthetic awareness, hand-eye coordination and balance.
Stratascend Climber would create a
place for peer interaction and social
games while fostering whole-body muscular strength and flexibility.
Climb and Discover Cave would enable climbing and crawling adventures,
designed for 6-month-old to 23-monthold children.
Sign Language Panel would allow children to gain awareness and learn some
sign language in order to communicate
with those who have auditory challenges.
Ship’s Wheel Panel would encourage
imaginative play through interactive
motion and visual elements.
Earth Awareness Panel would provide
a template for children to learn about
the world, supporting geography curricula including knowledge about continents.
Double Trapeze Rings would promote
lateral movement, enhance hand-eye
coordination and provide challenging
ways for children to increase upper
body strength.
Telephone Tubes would provide youngsters with a playground communication
game while promoting social and emotional development.
Drum Panel would introduce music
and sound to children, providing opportunities for students who are nonverbal
to experiment with sound, engage with
others and explore with cause and effect.
Button Step would provide a way to
link components and offer a wide stepping surface that presents opportunities
for balance and a sense of challenge.
Valley View is the site where all students
with severe handicaps attend, from preschool through sixth grade. The Sulphur Springs Union School District is
soliciting donations from members of
the community in order to purchase the
$145,000 playground. Contributions of
$1,000 or greater receive their names on
a dedication plaque.
For more information, contact the District through the website: http://www.
sssd.k12.ca.us/pages/SSSD.
Assembly Bill to Give
Hair Salons Right to
Serve Alcohol
A
bill introduced by Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita,
passed its final vote in the Legislature
this week. Assembly Bill 1322 would
add beauty salons and barbershops to
the list of businesses allowed to serve
an alcoholic beverage, without a license or a permit, to clients ages 21
and over, provided no extra fees are
charged for the beverage.
“Going to the barber or the beauty
salon is an experience. It is not uncommon for a customer to be offered
a glass of wine or a beer,” Wilk said.
“These businesses — many of whom
are small, mom-and-pop shops —
want to make sure their customers
thoroughly enjoy their visit. AB 1322
limits the offering to one beverage to
ensure the safety of both the patron
and other customers.”
Many beauty salons and barbershops
throughout California currently offer
complimentary alcoholic beverages to
their customers, though they have no
liquor license from the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control. They are
inadvertently disobeying state law in
doing so. AB 1322 adds beauty salons
and barbershops to the list of businesses allowed to offer beverages without
obtaining a license, as long as they restrict the offering to one beverage and
do not charge extra for it.
AB 1322 will now be presented to Governor Jerry Brown for his signature or
veto.

Library Offers
‘Food for Fines’
Program
I
f your fines at the local library
have exceeded your expectations,
don’t worry. A pardon is just a week
away. In a first for the Santa Clarita
Public Library, the public is invited
to exchange the dollar amount they
owe in fines for food items.
During the month of September, the
Santa Clarita Public Library, in partnership with the Santa Clarita Valley
Food Pantry, will be launching their
first-ever Food for Fines program,
which allows patrons to donate one
food item to waive up to $20 of overdue library fines or replacement card
fees. All of the donations will be
turned over to the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry, a local non-profit
that works to collect and distribute
donated foods to those in need in the
community.
Each Santa Clarita Public Library
branch will have a collection barrel
set up at the circulation desk. Patrons are encouraged to donate as
many food and non-food items as
they want, however $20 is the maximum fee that will be waived per account.
“For one month, Food for Fines allows us to give patrons an additional
way to settle overdue fines and replacement card fees that they may
not otherwise be able to afford,” said
City Librarian Kelly Behle. “Besides
contributing to feeding our community, the program will help provide
patrons access to library services
who may at the moment feel like
they can’t because of their fines.”
The Santa Clarita Public Library
asks that patrons review the Needed
Items list on The Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry website (SCVFoodPantry.org), which makes available
the organization’s requested food
and non-food items.
For more information about the
Food for Fines program, visit SantaClaritaLibrary.com or contact Santa
Clarita Public Library Public Relations and Marketing Coordinator,
Stacy Schlesinger at (661) 799-6136

OPINION
We Must Declare War on Climate Change
The Arctic Ice is Melting— Gone in a Year, Maybe Two
By Andrea Slominski
Contributor
I
don’t think most people understand the urgency
of climate change. I’m going to use a lot of quotes
from scientists, people who know things, like facts,
in this column. I want you to decide to help by urging our government to take more aggressive action to
combat climate change. This is real and this is way
more dangerous to the U.S. than Isis.
If we do not control the CO2 levels in the atmosphere,
the sea could rise 3.5 feet by 2100. Much of Louisiana
will be under water, not to mention most other coastal
cities. I’m not even including the rest of the world and
the refugee crisis that will be created by the world’s
poorest communities being displaced by rising tides.
If you think we have a refugee crisis now, just wait.
The recent flooding in Louisiana and the Blue Cut
Fire in California are only two recent environmental
disasters that are the results of climate change. This
was stated by Louisiana climatologist Barry Keim
and Columbia University professor Adam Sobel in a
recent interview on “PBS News Hour.”
Peter Wadhams was the director of the Scott Polar
Institute in Cambridge from 1987-1992 and is currently a Cambridge professor of ocean physics. Robin
McKie quoted him in The Guardian this week, where
he said, “Next year or the year after that, I think it
will be free of ice in summer and by that I mean the
central Arctic will be ice-free. You will be able to cross
over the North Pole by ship. … I think that that is
going to happen in summer 2017 or 2018. The most
recent prediction of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change(IPCC) is that seas will rise by 60 to
90 centimetres this century. I think a rise of one to
two metres is far more likely. Indeed, it is probably the
best we can hope for. That may not sound a lot, but it
is really very serious. It will increase enormously the
frequency of storm surges all over the world. We may
be able to raise the Thames barrier in Britain but in
Bangladesh, it just means more and more people will
be drowned.”
Kevin Kalhoefer details the media coverage (or lack of
same) regarding climate change and its effects in his
article for Media Matters, where he says: “The American Red Cross described the state’s flooding as ‘the
worst natural disaster to strike the United States since
Superstorm Sandy,’ and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Association classified the record rainfall
as a once-in-every-500-years event – the eighth such
event to take place in the U.S. since May 2015.”
There have been 8 weather events in the past 16
months that rank as one-in-every-500-year disasters!
These FACTS come from scientists. Scientists deal in
facts. The ice is melting – fact. Temperatures are rising – fact. Drought is getting worse – fact. Sea Level is
rising – fact. The ocean is acidifying – fact. We are the
LAST generation that has an opportunity to begin to
turn this around – fact.
Email, Tweet, FB, Instagram, or – God forbid – call
your senators and congressmen and the White House
and insist on emergency measures to combat this enemy. We created it, we can fix it. If we can put a man
on the moon in nine years after President Kennedy decided we should, why can’t we have a comprehensive
plan to go green in 10? Oil, you say, oil, power, and
money. OK, let the oil companies sell or manage the
energy created from the green tech grid. They want to
sell something to make a profit. Rearrange the business model and let them. Perhaps the oil companies
can come up with new tech for keeping the seawater
out of coastal cities and sell that to the cities. We have
to come up with new ideas and new priorities. Each
of us must do our best to reduce our carbon footprint.
As Donald Trump, the climate change denier, said
this week, “What you have now isn’t working, what
have you got to lose?”
Well, I have news for Donald. Play-Doh won’t help.
This torrential downpour in Louisiana, the heavy
rains in Texas and the fires in California, to name a
few, are all in line with global warming climate models. In print, The Washington Post and The New York
Times have run stories explaining and documenting
the cause of these disasters as weather influenced by
climate change.
Kalhoefer continues, “In an August 15 Washington
Post article, Chris Mooney wrote that climate researchers were affirming that the heavy rainfall Louisiana experienced is ‘precisely the sort of event that
you’d expect to see more of on a warming planet,’
and quoted climate researcher Katharine Hayhoe,
explaining, ‘Louisiana is always at risk of floods,
naturally, but climate change is exacerbating that risk,
weighting the dice against us.’ Moreover, an August
16 article in The New York Times quoted Texas’ state
climatologist, stating, ‘There’s definitely an increase
in heavy rainfall due to climate change.’”
Fire or water, pick your poison. An article in Scientific American last month by Bobby Magill notes regarding the recent fires, “They’re part of a dire global
warming-fueled trend toward larger, more frequent
and intense wildfires.”
The number of blazes we’re seeing in the West has
increased 500 percent since the late ‘70s, according to
LeRoy Westerling at University of California, Merced.
“Global warming’s fingerprints can be clearly seen
on this year’s fire season in California, where the
state’s extreme drought is entering its fifth year and
record-breaking heat has baked the region,” Magill
continued, then added a statement by Robert Field,
a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for
Space Studies: “Climate change has exacerbated naturally occurring droughts, and therefore fuel conditions. The worse the drought, the more of a tinderbox
forests become.”

Christy Smith Campaign Receives Lawmakers’ Support
A
fter winning an endorsement from Sierra
Club California earlier this week, Newhall School
Board Member Christy Smith received the sought-after support of scores of state lawmakers in her bid for
California’s 38th State Assembly District seat as well.
Those endorsing Newhall School Board Member
Christy Smith for Assembly currently include:
State Senator Ben Allen
State Assemblymember Richard Gordon
State Assemblymember Autumn Burke
State Assemblymember Jimmy Gomez
Upon earning the endorsements, Smith expressed
her gratitude by remarking:
“It’s really humbling to have the confidence of
these influential and widely respected state leaders.
They’ve helped play a critical role in moving California forward, on job creation, grappling with the
drought, investing more in our local public schools
and higher education system, and much more. I’m
really grateful for their support and am eager to collaborate with them on my campaign as we move full
steam ahead to November.”
In recent days, Smith’s campaign has moved at a
blazing-fast pace to lock down critical support from
key leaders and organizations. A select list of her
support includes:
California’s Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon
California State Controller Betty Yee
California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom
Torlakson
California State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Jack O’Connell (Ret.)

Smith was the top vote-getter in the June 7th primary election campaign, besting her competition and
earning 44.7 percent of the vote. Assembly District
38 is considered a potential «red-to-blue» flip in 2016.
Smith is a two-term Governing Board Member of
the highly successful Newhall School District. She
is a 34-year resident of Santa Clarita. A graduate of Hart High School, Smith attended College
of the Canyons and graduated with honors from
UCLA with a B.A. in Political Science in 1993. In
her early career, the candidate worked as an analyst
at the U.S. Department of Education. Smith was
elected to the Newhall School Board in 2009. She
is active in education advocacy locally and statewide, serving as the Legislative Vice President of
the Santa Clarita Valley Trustees Association and
as a delegate to the California School Board Association. Christy Smith lives in Santa Clarita with

Eeyore is Onto Me:
of the pitching in the Little League World Series, or it
could be the love of my life giving me rashes of grief
for something I’m sure I did wrong, but didn’t hear,
realize or remember what it was.
The Eeyore doll sitting on my desk is looking right
at me and he’s on to my mind-set as I struggle to get
this rant jump-started. Yeah, it’s about Trump. What
else would it be? What else would knock my political
fantasy down to the ground about having a president
who maybe, just maybe, will have some sort of business type common sense to somehow straighten out
the mess that is the federal government. You know,
stuff like not spending:
-$856,000 to teach mountain lions how to walk on treadmills to study animal instincts
-$387,000 to study the effects of Swedish massages on rabbits
-$10,000 to monitor the growth rate of salt-marsh grass
-$200,000 to study how and why Wikipedia is sexist
-$371,000, to study whether mothers love dogs as much as
they love kids
I mean, really, this is the sort of stuff a guy like Trump
with his experience should whack out like a weed
eater to a few blades of grass. But, just when I get
hopeful, the media overpowers me into Eeyore mode.
-CNN Crushes RNC Strategist on Trump’s Outreach to
Black Voters
-Watch Donald Trump Spend Exactly 49 Seconds ‘Helping
Out’ Louisiana Flood Victims
-Trump’s Crocodile Contrition and The Cynicism Of A Political Pivot
-Trump Is Losing Pennsylvania and Closing His Path to
the White House
These headlines go right to the heart of Trump’s
governing philosophy, right? No, they don’t, but
these are the type of crap headlines that gush at me
every time I turn a page or log on to my computer
and then look up to see Eeyore staring at me.
Maybe I’d feel better if I saw more of:
-FBI Uncovers 14,900 More Documents in Clinton Email
Probe
-Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. Gave Clinton Foundation
Donors Weapons Deal
-At least 181 Clinton Foundation Donors Lobbied Hillary’s
State Dept.
-Fifteen Questions Hillary Should Answer Under Oath
But, we all know that headlines blasting Trump will
outnumber the scandalous Hillary headlines. Oh
well, I guess all this stuff doesn’t really matter in the
scheme of life. I’ll just sit here and wallow in the malaise, the same malaise Jimmy Carter caused in the late
‘70s.
That Was Then, This is Now:
Ok, that was yesterday. I don’t know what got in to
me; maybe it was overdosing on cable news over the
weekend, maybe it was the Dodgers reminding me
"Loving God...
Loving Others"
But, it’s a new day and I’m ticked off! (I’d say pissed
off, but you know where that may land me). I’m sick
of the liberal talking heads on cable telling me how
I feel, how most Americans feel, what they think we
should think, assuming they know what is best for me
and my family. What the freak do they know about
you, me, what really matters, what we care about?
Most of them work in a bubble in their studios, live in
Washington and New York where they are surrounded by bosses, co-workers, friends and neighbors who
think socialism is the key to life and for someone to
disagree makes them go out of their mind. They may
want to live a life blind to reality, but don’t expect us to
buy into your crap as you look down on us, thinking
you know what’s best for us and the nation.
One-Sided?
You notice how one-sided that last portion of the
rant was? I didn’t even bring up Fox News, but if you
lean left I’m sure you were thinking, “Hey, Fox News
does the same thing with their line of conservative
propaganda,” and you know what? You’re probably
right. But, at least Fox News has a liberal contributor in almost every discussion panel to balance things
out. I’m sure you have noticed that in this here Gazette, we welcome thoughts from both sides of matters. And while I’m Tea-Party-Right, I have been hard
on Republicans, including The Donald, in this space.
We at The Gazette really do try to be fair and balanced, so when I turn to the opinion page of The Signal and read the skewed op-ed pieces there, it make
me bat crap crazy.
This week’s was by Kevin Buck (no headshot this
time – I wonder what he is afraid of) and he spent
hundreds of words ripping Trump every which way
but loose. He describes Trump as racist, misogynistic
and xenophobic with insult-ridden rants (hey, I resemble
that one).
Not once, not freaking once does he even make an
attempt at any sort of balance. Mr. Buck, in case you
aren’t aware, let me help you out. Your “Madame
Candidate” is a proven deceptive liar with over 20
documented scandals chalked up to her. Your Hillary
was exposed by the director of the FBI as to her complete incompetence to handle the duties of a president.
Trump gets criticized for being unpresidential, but
read some accounts from Secret Service agents as to
her personality when the camera is off and the way she
treats those whose job it is to protect her.
Kevin, this isn’t even mentioning the thousands of
emails she jerked the justice department around on or
the shady dealings of the Clinton Foundation. The
woman should be under several indictments and even
in jail; instead, she is running for president. What a
country we live in. Come on, man – at least allude to
the shortcomings of your candidate. It will go a long
way in you gaining some journalistic respect.

appreciate the Gazette. We have lived in Canyon Country
since ’84 & were surprised by the Signal’s liberal slant when
we moved out here. We were glad to see a mending of the
fences between you all & the Signal, recently, but PLEASE
don’t succumb to any pressure to compromise! Stay true to
your values. Many thanks. Homer
Doug,
I am a conservative and now (come to think of it) a long
time community member (moved here in ‘83, married in
‘85 to a local girl Hart High graduate--I graduated from
Ventura High), raised two wonderful adopted children, have
owned and run local family businesses (Penguin’s Frozen
yogurt, studio cartage, and have been a traveling piano
tuner/technician since 1992). I music degree’d from COC/
CalState Northridge, and work part time at CalArts (possibly the only Republican there!?)
I simply love the Santa Clarita Gazette. Your op-Ed pieces,
I couldn’t agree with more. And those of other kick ass conservative contributors and especially too, local interest stories. (And love even the leftist columns--it’s an even handed
approach and it’s good to stay brushed up on liberal fluff
head thinking occasionally). I agree 100% with at least 95%
of what you say/write. You’re obviously a thoughtful, well
spoken guy. I hope your various publishing ventures here
are going well.
Every time I go to grab a Gazette from Valencia Nissan
where my wife works or the smoke shop over by KMart I
have to be vigilant, I can see that they really go fast and
empty out. This suggests that a lot of people are picking
them up!
I used to write Op-Eds to the Signal quite a bit. I too am
disgusted by Vignola’s and Horton’s columns. But after
awhile, I just got disillusioned with the Signal and I wasn’t
enjoying it anymore. The Signal was known for its awful
cut-and-paste layout but intense local news flavor but it’s
just not the same as it used to be. The heart has gone out of
it. It’s bland and lifeless now. Boston was either booted or
maybe he wasn’t getting paid enough? His Signal Escape
local rag stuff was hilarious!
So step in you filling the void! I picked up your paper for the
first time a few months ago and was instantly hooked and
extremely pleased with it--particularly “doug’s rant”! Yeahhhhh brotha! Limited in size and scope but I look through it
cover to cover. The local business ads. Love love love. Small
business can afford to advertise with you. And I was (still
am) a huge huge fan of John Boston. How delighted I was
to see him resurrected in your publication from time to time.
I hope that continues.
Maybe I’ll work on something and submit it to you. As a
hard core Trump fan myself I should write to the Signal
again and maybe even you (If I come up with anything
suitable for you that is!) A huge fan, Sean

Sharon Runner: Wife, Mother, Friend, Mentor
By Scott Wilk
Contributor
T
he skies of the Antelope Valley are vast and gazing to the horizon always reminds me that all
things are possible if we dream big and work hard.
From her hospital bed, after surviving a double lung transplant, she made calls urging people to support me. Who does
that!? How many people think of what they can do for others while confronting death? Sharon Runner did.
Thankfully, George and Sharon Runner were placed
in the path of my life. I feel blessed they have been
encouraging me and my career for nearly 30 years.
Sharon also practiced the ‘Law of Reproduction’ by identifying and rising up new leaders. She understood how mentoring could bring out the potential and promise of every
individual.
Recently, the State Assembly adjourned in the memory of Sharon Runner. Along with my colleague Assemblyman Tom Lackey, I had the honor of speaking
about Sharon from the Assembly floor.
For 10 years Sharon served on the Board of California
Women Lead. She understood that women bring a certain
perspective to policy making and would work with women
of all parties to help them find their leadership path.
Here are my comments:
I love the institution of our state government and the opportunity it affords me to help the people of our state. Every
time I walk onto the Assembly floor, my eyes well up knowing what a privilege it is to serve and I am always humbled
by the fact I did not earn this seat by myself.
Her mentoring touched her church, her Christian school,
many non-profits and scores of families. Her legacy lives
on through the work all these groups and individuals do to
make our world a better place.
There were many people who helped along the way - my
parents and family, particularly my wife Vanessa, friends,
supporters and State Senator Sharon Runner.
What is most striking about Sharon was the thankfulness
she expressed for the life granted her and her constant praise
for her Lord even to her last breath.
The desks that we sit at on the Assembly floor are the originals from 1869 and the Clerk’s office has kept a record since
the 1950s of which member has sat at each desk.
When the clerk’s office supplied me my desk’s history, I was
pleased that Sharon Runner was a prior occupant.
Sharon was a friend and mentor to me throughout my life
and I am forever grateful for her guidance and support.
If Sharon were here to list her life’s accomplishments she
would mention – wife, mother, friend and mentor – being
a member of the state legislature would not be uttered from
her lips. Not that it isn’t important, but she always had her
eyes set towards the horizon. Her life’s purpose was eternally
focused.
In all those roles, Sharon was a leader. Leadership expert
John Maxwell writes if you want to be a leader, “Follow
them and people will follow you.” Sharon invested her time
and talent in other people.
Sharon was never bitter and she was so thankful for the four
years that her lung transplant gave her. In her dying days
she embraced her future with confidence and instilled hope
to many that have lingering doubts about their eternal resting place.
Whether it be a text, phone call or offering sage advice when
struggling with a life decision, Sharon was there. While her
husband Senator George Runner led with his head, Sharon
always led with her heart – earning her the title ‘The Funner Runner.’
My prayers and condolences go out to Senator George Runner, the family, Sharon’s community and our state.
A little over four years ago, I was running for the State Assembly seat that I currently occupy. In my primary was the
wife of a powerful Congressman. Most people in the political class ducked. Not Sharon, she enthusiastically endorsed
me.
I may sit at her desk, but I aspire to fill her shoes as well – as
a father, husband, friend and mentor.

Assistance League to Provide
Clothing to Hart Families in
Operation School Bell
Every year the Assistance League
Santa Clarita helps to clothe needy
children in Santa Clarita. More
than $300,000 in new clothes and
shoes will go to 2,760 students
across the Santa Clarita Valley,
with more than 1,000 Hart School
District students receiving the gift.
“As a site principal, I had the joy of
seeing the smile of a child as they
proudly entered school wearing a
new outfit with matching shoes,”
said Gayle Abril-Nolet, vice president of program services for the
local Assistance League. “It wasn’t
until I became a member of the Assistance League Santa Clarita that
I realized what a labor of love that
smile represented.”
Operation School Bell is a philanthropic program designed by Assistance League to provide new
clothing and shoes for school age
children in the community. Schools
are assigned an evening where
identified students can shop with
their parents. Students in grades
K-5 are given $75 and students in
grades 6-12 are given $125 to spend
at Old Navy in Stevenson Ranch.
As they check out at the register,
they are also offered a $25 gift card
to use at Payless Shoe Source. A
total of $153,450 worth of clothing
and shoes will be offered to 1,023
Hart School District students.
“Programs like Operation School
Bell highlight the great work within the community being done for
those most in need,” said Rob Hall,
governing board president of the
Hart School District. “The school
district, and specifically, the board
are so proud of this program and
the support for our many students
in need. A community like Santa
Clarita needs to become aware of
this ongoing issue and continue to
support the many great programs
for their students.”
In addition to the new clothes and
shoes, Assistance League Santa
Clarita can also provide eye exams
and glasses through the “i care for
kids” program. Visit www.assistanceleaguesantaclarita.org.

Panel of Filmmakers Discuss Funding
F
ilmmakers are invited to attend the free New Heights: Build an Audience,
Fund Your Film discussion on Wednesday, August 31 from 7-9 p.m. in
the Century Room at Santa Clarita City Hall, located at 23920 Valencia
Boulevard.
The panel discussion will share secrets to success and discuss the good, the
bad and the ugly of indie film financing. Included on the panel are actors,
producers and crowdfunding professionals who have first-hand experience
building an audience and fundraising through crowdfunding.
Featured on the panel will be Leah Cevoli, Etta Devine, Elizabeth Dell,
Nicole Miceli and Jennifer Fischer. These panelists have successfully raised
millions of dollars for feature films, short films and web series. They have also
presented at the popular San Diego Comic Con and other national events.
Leah Cevoli is a crowdfunding and social media consultant who has
managed more than 40 campaigns, raising more than $3.5 million for
feature films, short films, documentaries, web series, theatre, books, comedy
albums, music albums, music festivals, a clothing line, video games, start-up
companies and more. Through Greenlight Your Passion Project, Cevoli has
worked with clients such as Sean Astin (“Lord of the Rings,” “Goonies”),
Jim Beaver (“Deadwood,” “Supernatural”), Mark Marshall (“Free Willy,”
“Harry Potter”) and Jim Michaels (“Supernatural”).
founder of Array Entertainment, a slate fund focused on female-driven films.
She produces digital media and her latest crowdfunding campaign for her
short film, “Helen,” raised 200 percent of its original goal. The project was
the fastest Seed & Spark campaign to achieve full financing for a project,
doing so in the first 12 hours of the campaign launch.
Nicole Miceli is committed to closing the gender gap in Hollywood and
is a graduate of the William Esper Studio. Her female-driven web series,
“Tarantella,” began as a single scene and quickly became a multi-season
web series, making Miceli’s filmmaking debut. “Tarantella” was her first
experience with crowdfunding and her unwavering commitment and
determination led her to surpass her crowdfunding goal. Miceli says the twoyear journey as the creator, writer and executive producer for the series has
been one of the most transformative experiences in her life.
Jennifer Fischer is a filmmaker, arts educator and film curator. Her last
multi-award winning film, “Smuggled,” saw her tackling self-distribution,
successfully securing theatrical screening events at universities, colleges and
community organizations throughout the United States and abroad. Fischer
founded and ran the Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival for seven years and
prides herself on supporting other indie filmmakers. She has successfully
crowdfunded both a feature documentary film and a short narrative film.
Etta Devine is an actor, writer and filmmaker. She recently directed and
starred in the feature, “Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse,” after raising
$100,000 for it on Kickstarter. Devine published “Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn” (Robotic Edition) with $30,000 from Kickstarter and has advised on
several other crowdfunded projects. Devine also provides voices for multiple
characters on the hit cartoon “Bee and Puppycat.”

meet the local need.
Family Promise provides overnight lodging, meals and hospitality to homeless
families around the clock, 365 days a year. This service is offered through their
unique partnership with 21 local congregations of different faiths, 11 of which
open their doors to guest families for one week each quarter of the year. Because of the generosity and support of the congregations and several hundred
dedicated volunteers, the organization is able to serve up to four guest families
at a time for up to 90 days. Additional to the basic needs provided, each family
receives subsequent support during the day at their Resource Center in Canyon
Country. Adult family members receive intensive personal counseling, developing a plan tailored to their specific needs, which includes employment and
financial counseling, resume preparation, welfare advocacy, and more.
While Family Promise cannot assist every family or individual in need in the
Santa Clarita Valley, the organization provides supportive services outside of
the basic program to those in need. The support takes several forms, including:
supplying hygiene items, clothing, and furniture, and making referrals to other
agencies that can help. In 2015, the organization expanded it services even further and began providing up to three days of emergency motel shelter to local
individuals and families via paid hotel nights.
As we continue to see an increase in homelessness throughout Los Angeles
County, and specifically our community of Santa Clarita Valley, now more
than ever Family Promise of SCV is committed to fulfilling their goal of securing a transitional housing program to house local families for up to six months.

Family Promise continues to believe that adding this housing component to
the organization will effectively combat the issue of family homelessness.
Family Promise is a cost-efficient community response to family homelessness made possible through the generosity of local congregations, volunteers
and donors. Furthermore, the organization relies on their major annual fundraiser, Box City, which is presented this year by Williams Homes, taking place
on September 24 at Valencia Heritage Park. The goal of the event is to raise
money and awareness for Family Promise of SCV and the work they do to
help local homeless children and their families. Box City “residents” spend
one night in a cardboard box to simulate what it might be like if that was the
only place they had to call home.
Box City participants are asked to raise at least $100 in pledges and contributions. They then construct and decorate their cardboard box “homes” in the
park for the night. The event features bands, activities, and a raffle, as well as a
brown-bag dinner and breakfast. Every participant who raises at least $100 is
entered into a drawing for a pair of Disneyland tickets.
Anyone interested in becoming an event sponsor, organizational volunteer or
participant is invited to contact the organization at [email protected] , call (661) 251-2868 or visit the website www.familypromisescv.org.

Women’s Equality Day
It has been almost 50 years since Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY) introduced “Women’s
Equality Day” in Congress. The purpose
of the observance is to commemorate
the certification of the 19th Amendment
in 1920, which granted women the right
to vote. For decades prior, women held
peaceful civil rights demonstrations. The
first women’s rights convention was held
in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York.
WHEREAS, the women of the United
States have united to assure that these
rights and privileges are available to all
citizens equally regardless of sex; and
What Women’s Equality Day can accomplish now is to bring to the forefront current issues concerning women. One can
find Women’s Equality Day programs at
various workplaces, libraries, organizations, and public facilities.
WHEREAS, the women of United States
are to be commended and supported in
their organizations and activities,
The Joint Resolution of Congress in
1971 designated August 26 as “Women’s
Equality Day,” which is written:
States have been treated as second-class
citizens and have not been entitled the
full rights and privileges, public or private,
legal or institutional, which are available
to male citizens of the United States; and
States have designated August 26, the anniversary date of the certification of the
Nineteenth Amendment, as symbol of
the continued fight for equal rights: and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, that
August 26th of each year is designated
as Women’s Equality Day, and the President is authorized and requested to issue
a proclamation annually in commemoration of that day in 1920, on which the
women of America were first given the
right to vote, and that day in 1970, on
which a nationwide demonstration for
women’s rights took place.

City Council to Recognize
COC Students for Global
Collaboration Project
F
or the school-age children living on Lake Nicaragua’s hundreds of picturesque islands, going
to school in the port city of Granada is no easy feat. Born into impoverished families who watch over island summer homes, children must
board canoes riddled with holes,
scooping out water with buckets as
they paddle along.
The struggles of Nicaraguan children and the challenges faced by
schools in that country made a
profound impact on College of the
Canyons students and faculty who
traveled there recently. Six students
joined representatives from the
Santa Clarita Valley International
Program (SCVIP) on an eight-day
trip to Nicaragua for its 2016 Global Collaboration Project.
In recognition of the team’s humanitarian efforts, the Santa Clarita City Council honored the group
at the council meeting on Tuesday,
Aug. 23.
The team donated hundreds of
books, school supplies, and instructional aides, such as maps and
white boards, to four elementary
schools in Granada, Nicaragua, including a school for at-risk girls.
“We are excited to honor the representatives that traveled to Nicaragua as part of the Literacy Local
to Global Collaborative Project at
Tuesday’s City Council meeting,”
said Ken Striplin, City of Santa
Clarita City Manager. “While developing international goodwill,
our representatives also provided
books and school supplies to a local school and led reading lessons
to children. It’s great to see students
and residents represent Santa Clarita in such a meaningful way.”
The COC students — Angela De
Santiago, Fernanda Jaramillo,
Gabriela Linares, Gerardo Reyes,
Andrew Rodriguez, and Kelly Sierra — braved extreme summer
temperatures to gather and deliver
donations.
Originally intending to donate supplies to Miravalle — an SCVIP sister school — the students were able
to collect enough donations to support three additional school sites.
“I’m very proud of the amazing
students and how they came together to make this trip successful,”
said Claudia Acosta, chair of the
COC modern languages depart-

ment and SCVIP board member.
“They all touched the hearts of
other people.”
The students learned about global
connections, real problems of the
21st century, poverty, education
challenges in third world countries,
ecology and conservation efforts,
added Acosta. “This trip helped
them understand their role as global
citizens and local ambassadors representing COC and Santa Clarita.”
Along with Acosta, the students
were accompanied by SCVIP
board members Elena Galvez, Art
Moore, and Dr. João Junqueira, a
music and language teacher who
conducted music research.
The students also became friends
with volunteers from other countries, formed partnerships, visited
the U.S. Embassy, and met with the
former Nicaraguan President Enrique Bolaños Geyer and leading
scientist Dr. Jaime Incer Barquero.
“I foresee the COC Global Collaborative Project growing exponentially larger in the near future with
the support of the amazing faculty
and administrators at COC,” said
Andrew Rodriguez, COC student
and member of the college’s Associated Student Government (ASG).
“With the aid of the school, we
were able to accomplish a lot in a
short amount of time, which shows
through our documented efforts.”
As a local non-profit organization,
SCVIP focuses on developing and
promoting strategic alliances and
goodwill around the world between
Santa Clarita and international cities. The Global Collaborative Project is a joint effort by COC and
SCVIP to provide opportunities for
students to implement student projects abroad.
The COC students who participated this year belong to various
college organizations and clubs,
such as ASG, Knowledge Enlightenment & Endurance Club, Association of Students United for the
Language, Sigma Delta Mu, Military Club, and the Association of
Latin American Students.

CA Vehicle Code 23152(c) - Driving
While Addicted to Drugs
Did you know that driving while addicted to drugs is considered a crime in California? According to California Vehicle Code 23152 (c) VC, it is. The law specifically states “it is unlawful for a person who is addicted to the use of any drug to
drive a vehicle. There is an exception, however, for those who are participating in
an approved narcotic treatment program.” For the most part, “driving while addicted to drugs” isn’t enforced all that much - due in no small part to the fact that
it’s extremely difficult (if not impossible) for law enforcement to know a driver is
addicted to drugs, especially when there aren’t any indicators.
Under California Vehicle Code 23152 (c) VC, an individual doesn’t need to be under the influence of any particular drug to be charged. The law simply stipulates
that if the person is driving and also addicted to a drug at that time, they are in
violation of the law. The law describes “drugs” as any substance or combination
of substances that could so impair the nervous system, brain, or muscles of a
driver that it would impair the individual’s ability to drive. Under 23152 (c) VC,
alcohol is not considered one of the drugs; there are other, separate laws governing driving under the influence of alcohol.
The drugs covered under this law are controlled substances like cocaine and heroin, but other, legal substances are also covered. For example, let’s say an individual is prescribed painkillers to alleviate discomfort from a back surgery. Over
time, the pain doesn’t go away and the individual continues to take the prescription medication daily, eventually developing a dependence on the substance. Per
23152 (c) VC, it is now illegal for that person to drive an automobile, regardless of
whether or not the driver took the medication that day.
“Addiction” to a substance is further defined by the law as: a physical dependency
on the drug resulting in withdrawal symptoms if doses are missed, a tolerance
to the substance has been developed which requires a larger dose for it to be effective, and the individual has developed an emotional dependence on the drug
and is compelled to continue using it. Provided all 3 of these criteria are met, the
individual is addicted to a drug, as far as the law is concerned.
Driving while addicted to drugs is covered under California’s DUI laws, and as
such, first, second and third offenses are typically treated as misdemeanors. The
misdemeanor penalties for violating 23152 (c) VC the first time include 3-5 years
of informal DUI probation, a minimum fine of $390, up to six months in county
jail (though this is seldom imposed), at least six months of driver’s license suspension and mandatory enrollment in DUI school. For second and third offenses, the
penalties are similar, though the driver’s license suspension and mandatory jail
sentences increase in length.
For a fourth conviction, individuals are often charged with a felony DUI. The
penalties for that include 16 months to 3 years in California state prison, driver’s
license suspension for up to 4 years, 18 or 30 months in DUI school and fines.

West Ranch High School
Wildcats Football Preview
By Keir Chapman, Mr. Sports
Contributor
T
he West Ranch Wildcats find themselves in the
midst of a team-wide transition following a 20152016 season that saw the Stevenson Ranch-based
football team go 3-7. The most notable change to
take place for the Wildcats is the termination of head
coach Jan Miller, and the hiring of Chris Varner, a
name many Santa Clarita football fans know from
Varner’s previous stint as the head coach of Canyon
High School.
interceptions accumulated in the 2015-2016 season, which was the lowest total in the CIF Foothill
League.
However, the most important trait Varner wants to
see from the defense, according to Georgio, is physicality. This principle is what allowed the Wildcats
to lead the Foothill League in tackles, with 739, last
year. Improving on it, however, will allow for pass
rushers to get to the quarterback more often than the
16 times they did the previous year, which will aid
the defensive backs in slowing spread offenses down.
“There’s a lot less pressure coaching at West Ranch
than there was at Canyon,” Varner said. “There were
pretty big shoes to fill, taking over the year after the
State Championship.”
Varner, who was tasked with taking over a Cowboys
team that had been coached to the CIF Division I
State Championship in 2006 by coaching legend Harry Welch posted a respectable 21-22 record between
the years of 2007-2010. Now, with West Ranch,
Varner is instilling the same football philosophy he
taught the athletes at Canyon.
“Focus on the process, not the end result,” Varner
summarized his coaching philosophy. “Don’t focus
on the fact that we scored a touchdown, but on what
we did right to create that touchdown. That way you
don’t rely on luck; you rely on technique.”
Aside from a new ideology for the Wildcats to focus
on, Varner is also installing a new offense — doing
away with the increasingly popular spread formation
that relies on a high volume of passes and forgoing
the huddle between downs—to a more traditional offensive look that will allow West Ranch to slow the
game down.
“In this offense, we’re huddling up more often,” senior center Nate Racina said. “We’re trying to hold
the ball longer.”
In an effort to keep possession of the ball and extend
drives, the Wildcats will find themselves running the
ball more often than they did last year. While this
change will bring about better rushing starts for the
running backs, the decrease in passing will cause the
quarterbacks’ stats to decrease as well, a fact that
doesn’t concern senior quarterback, Wyatt Eget.
“I just want my team to win,” Eget said. “It’s all
about the team making the playoffs and starting a
new tradition here.”
The team-first mentality is prevalent throughout the
West Ranch football squad, and Racina believes Santa Clarita football fans will be excited by the way the
Wildcats play together.
West Ranch opens their season on the road against
the Simi Valley High School Pioneers in Simi Valley
on August 26. Despite the opponent in front of them,
Varner is more focused on bettering his team both on
and off the field.
“We’re trying to get the kids to put together a good
effort, believe in themselves, and work as a unit,”
Varner said. “We’re beginning to breed the mentality
that we can be successful.”
Santa Clarita Weekly Football Schedule
“We don’t have that one superstar that other schools
may have, so we all have to work together for our offense to be successful,” Racina said. “We have to
have every single person do his job in order to make
our offense work, and that will be fun to watch.”
While West Ranch is moving away from the spread
offense, other schools still favor the speed of this style
and the pressure it puts on opposing defenses to stop
the pass. Because the Wildcats will be seeing this
fast-paced offense week after week, Varner and the
defensive coaches are stressing the importance of defending the pass to the entirety of the defense.
“Our coaches have been getting on the defensive
backs to be precise in coverages and not make the
same mistakes,” Tristan Georgio said, a senior linebacker who led the Wildcats last season with 91 tackles. “In the defensive line, it’s the same thing. It’s all
about fixing our mistakes and not repeating them.”

So Inflation is Going Up Again?
By Arif M. Halaby, CEP
Contributor
H
ow do you prepare for retirement when you know that your retirement
income cost of living increase will not keep up with inflation? It all starts
with planning and preparation ahead of time.
If you remember back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, inflation was running
double digits. House mortgages were 15-18 percent and savings rates were 8-10
percent or more. This led to a lot of people suffering financial hardship when
their pension payouts from their jobs were fixed and paid out under the economy
of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Someone could retire in 1975 with 30 years of work
and receive $900 a month. That was middle class income. And, in most cases,
their home was paid off, a little social security income came in, they had some
savings, and they lived an above average retirement lifestyle.
But when the economy changed under the Carter and early Reagan
administrations, inflation began to rise and jobs began to disappear. A lot of
challenges began to hit those who are most vulnerable – our seniors on a fixed
income. Inflation was running rampant and some had to return to work or cut
back their lifestyles during their retirement years.
So what can you do to help protect your retirement lifestyle? Start with where
you put your income. You have heard of diversification – make sure that you
think about having part or all of your money in a safe place, protected from
market declines. Protecting your money that you have already worked for is
a priority. Also, in some accounts, fees can be deducted every month or year,
whether you’ve made money, lost money, or your account stayed the same.
Keeping your money safe can help make sure it’s available when you need it
most.
Layering, or laddering, your income is also important. Keep some of your
money available to be used as income in the future. By waiting to withdraw
some of your money, you can ensure you “turn on” that income at a later date.
Usually every five years or so is a good time to turn on another portion of your
income. Some can go as long as 10 years, allowing more time for the money to
grow and your income to be higher.
The biggest reduction in your income in your golden years can come from
inflation, investment fees, taxes and market risk. Protect your lifestyle by having
part or all of your retirement income in a place that protects your hard-earned
money.

Ballot Controversy
By Lee Barnathan
Contributor
id the City of Santa Clarita err in its allowing Mayor Bob Kellar to use
the title “Mayor” in his ballot designation for the upcoming city council
election?
D
day to file a writ of mandamus or seek an injunction. He also tried appealing to
City Attorney Joseph Montes, but got no response (Montes also didn’t respond
to the Gazette’s attempt to reach him).
Alan Ferdman thinks so. The city clerk doesn’t.
This is not the first time a ballot designation has been called into question; in
fact, it has happened at least two other times, including once in Santa Clarita.
Ferdman, who’s running for council, points to the California Election Code
Sec. 13107(a)(1) that says a candidate may use “(w)ords designating the elective
city, county, district, state, or federal office which the candidate holds at the time
of filing the nomination documents to which he or she was elected by vote of
the people.”
Ferdman claims that since Kellar was not elected mayor, he can’t use the designation.
The city’s website says it’s a “general law city,” in which five members are elected at-large to serve four-year terms. The council selects one of its own to serve
as mayor for one year on a rotating basis. That was Kellar this year.
Kellar said he called City Clerk Mary Cusick to ensure the designation “Business owner/Mayor” did not violate any procedures. “I do not want to have
people upset with me,” he said.
Ferdman said he spoke to and emailed Cusick to object. In an email Ferdman
provided the Gazette, Cusick wrote that, as the elections official for all city
elections, she consulted with the Los Angeles County Elections Coordination
Unit, and it said that “the designation of ‘mayor’ is permissible under the circumstances of the City of Santa Clarita’s election process.”
“There are several examples of cities whose elections are similar to Santa Clarita’s using the designation on the County’s website, including an election contest
for a State Senate seat, where the Secretary of State was the Elections Official
permitting its use,” Cusick further wrote.
Ferdman disagreed and called the county, only to be told the county doesn’t
interfere with a city’s decision. So, he plans to make a campaign issue of it.
“The City is using its own power to say, ‘You don’t like something we do, sue
us,’ ” Ferdman said. “They’re being a little overbearing, allowing it to happen.”
Councilmember Dante Acosta, a finalist for the state’s 38th Assembly District
seat, wanted to use “Mayor Pro Tem, City of Santa Clarita” on the June primary ballot. This put him in violation of Sec. 13107(a)(1), and it earned him a
phone call from Secretary of State Alex Padilla’s office, telling him he’d have
to change his designation. He changed it to “Councilmember, City of Santa
Clarita.”
Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitchell Englander also had to change his
ballot designation when running for County Supervisor Mike Antonovich’s seat
in June. He had wanted to call himself “reserve policeman,” which put him in
violation of Election Code Sec. 13107(a)(3) that says one may use no more than
three words designating either the candidate’s current principal professions, vocations, or occupations.
According to local political activist Stacy Fortner, who is a friend of Kathryn
Barger, chief deputy for Antonovich, Barger’s fellow candidates Bob Huff, Elan
Carr and Ara Najarian objected to Englander’s choice and sought to get Barger
involved in a lawsuit to force Englander to change his designation. Barger declined to get involved, but gave the name of an attorney and said it would cost
$15,000.
The attorney filed the writ of mandamus, and in March, Los Angeles Superior
Court Judge Robert H. O’Brien ruled for the candidates. Englander wanted to
change his designation to “Councilmember/Reserve Policeman,” but the candidates further objected, and O’Brien agreed. Englander was left with “Councilmember.”
Fortner said this was important because some designations, such as “law-enforcement officer,” hold advantages with the voters, because many trust such
people.
Englander didn’t finish in the top two to advance to the November election.
Barger, however, was the top vote-getter and will face Darrell Park.
Unfortunately, per Election Code Sec. 13313(a), Ferdman had only until Mon-

Usually this column deals with play and defensive problems, but this week it’s all
about the bidding. Take a look at the South hand. What do you see? A hand that
♦ 73
♠ A5
North
Back in the day, we needed 13 HCP to open the bidding (or 12 if we were feeling
frisky), but experienced players don’t just count their points, they also consider
their distribution. One tool for doing that is the Rule of 20 … we add HCP to the
length of our two longest suits … if the total is 20 or more we have an opening bid.
By this measure, South scores 11+6+3, and just manages to scrape up the magic
number. So, let us agree that the South hand is worth a 1♠ opening bid.
North’s 3♠ showed game-invitational values, saying “Bid game if you have
something extra”. Does South have said extras? Some might say “No!”, on the
grounds that the hand has only 11 HCP, and that it barely squeaked into opening
territory on the Rule of 20 basis. Maybe so, but nonetheless the South hand does
have extras. There is that singleton Heart … the 6th trump … and those lovely
minor-suit Tens! Extras, indeed!
So, South cheerfully accepts the game invitation, West makes his opening lead
(probably the ♥Q) and Dummy is revealed. It’s a pretty poor specimen, what with
the useless ♥K and not much cover in the minor suits. But, even so, it is good
all-important ♣T) there are 10 tricks!

Former Choir Director Shares Musical Party Game
P
arty guests of local retiree Steve
Eisele probably never knew they
were being recorded. Not their voices, mind you – there were no recording devices involved but a pen and
pencil. What Eisele recorded over
the last several decades were their
answers to a party game.
When Eisele and his wife hosted
parties they repeatedly played a favorite game with their friends, which
involved listing as many songs as
they could remember that had food
mentioned in their titles. They included songs like “Lemon Tree”
and “Yes, We Have No Bananas,” to
name just two.
Recently, 84-year-old Eisele, who
was a technical illustrator for Rocketdyne, noticed he had compiled a
lengthy list of titles over the years,
which seemed like a treasure that
ought to be shared.
“When we got this all put together,
I’d have choir parties and then I’d
play the one-finger melody (on the
piano) and the one who guessed the
most tunes won the prize,” Eisele
said.
He directed the Rocketdyne chorus
and was a choir director for two
churches: Saint Rose of Lima in
Simi Valley and Saint Didacus in
Sylmar. The multi-talented Eisele
got a Christmas song published
called “Joyful Message” through
Concordia publishing house. He followed the example set by his aunt
and donated all the proceeds from
the song to charities.
Eisele currently lives in Canyon
Country, where he has been for 17
years. See the sidebar for the list of
names he collected that have food in
the titles.
After years in the making, Steve Eisele thought his list of food songs
from a favorite party game deserved to be shared with others:

A new home ownership program allows
qualified buyers to buy a home with
absolutely no down payment.
You may have owned a home before
and are presently renting, or maybe
you are a first time homebuyer and
need a way to break into the housing
market but are holding back because
you think you require $10,000, $20,000
or even more for a down payment.
Well regardless of your present
situation, if you want to get into, or
re-enter the housing market without
having to make a cash down payment,
this new program may be just what
you’re looking for. Why pay your
landlord’s mortgage when you can be
building your own equity.
Industry insiders have prepared a new
special report entitled, “How to Buy a
Home With Zero or 1% Down” which
reveals how this new and innovative
program can get you into the housing
market immediately and wiht little or
no down payment.
