SCVTV Money Crisis
By Lee Barnathan
Contributor
Sometimes, things aren’t as they
appear. Leon Worden knows this all
too well.
SCPTA, will come up with a funding
plan that works, or makes sense to
the taxpayers.”
The latest contract between the City
of Santa Clarita and the sevenmember Santa Clarita Public Television Authority (SCPTA) board,
which runs the public access channel, shows that SCVTV received
$25,000 from the city for the quarter
ending Sept. 30. In the past, the
station received that amount over
two quarters, making it appear the
city doubled its commitment.
Worden said the station needs
$300,000 each year to fully operate.
(One percent of residents’ cable bills
takes care of rent, equipment and
capital outlay. There is a line item in
the city budget of $118,600 that is
only used to air city council meetings.) The city has given $50,000
each year, meaning the station has
had to come up with the balance
through advertising revenue, sponsorships, donations and any other
way it can.
In fact, Worden and the city leaders
say, this is a one-time contribution
while both sides meet to try and
figure out a way to make SCVTV
financially healthier.
“I don’t anticipate having to shutter
it,” Worden said. “I’m optimistic

SCVTV
continued from front page
Actually, there have been discussions going on
for some time now. The SCPTA put the TV contract up for bid earlier this year, and Worden provided the only offer: He would operate SCVTV
for $300,000 if the City of Santa Clarita kicked
in that amount. The city leaders declined.
People are not getting paid or are not receiving
full pay (Worden said he and CFO/engineer
Mike Mazzetti haven’t ever taken a dime). No
contractors are being used right now, either. Video production is minimal.
Part of the blame goes to the economy. SCVTV
turned on Jan. 1, 2009, amid the Great Recession, and Worden said he never had the money to
hire a large ad staff. One person, Tami Edwards,
the former host of “SCV Today,” was willing to
sell ads on commission (and sometimes waive
that commission), Worden said. But Edwards
has left, and no one has followed.
shown high school football games, and Worden
said he needs sponsorships for that to continue.
Another problem: Public TV has no Nielsen ratings, so the station can’t set ad rates based on
numbers of viewers. Worden said the station has
the largest online presence of any media outlet
in the area, more than KHTS, The Signal and
The Gazette, but he can’t set ad rates based on
page views and unique visitors.
So, the city and SCPTA board agreed to the onetime $25,000 funding, and now the sides have
until Sept. 30 to come up with a new plan.
Worden said that in some ways it’s fortunate that
this is happening in the summer because it won’t
be as obvious that production is so bare-boned.
“SCV Today” is on hiatus, and Worden said he
has a library of shows that will rerun.
But once schools restart, absences might be more
noticeable. For example, SCVTV typically has
“We’re looking for a long-term solution,” City
of Santa Clarita communications specialist Nick
Robles said. “We’re trying to identify which plan
is most important. The contractor asked for this
interim agreement.”
Worden admits nothing is definite at this point.
“We need to be a little creative and find a way to
augment that budget,” Worden said. “To what
extent will it remain a 24-hour TV station? Call
me in about two months.”
Pokemon Go
continued from front page
In Santa Clarita, the craze that began a week or two
ago is alive and well. Travel through town and note
groups of teens, young adults and – yes – people in
their fourth, fifth and sixth decades searching their
phones for signs of “life.”
Brian Jacobovitz, a manager at Paper Hero’s Comics
in Valencia, says a lot of his regular customers are
heavily involved in the game.
“There’s a fire station right next door and if you walk
over there you can (catch Pokemon) every five minutes or so. If you work there, you can sit there all
day,” Jacobovitz joked.
Jacobovitz said he has a friend who complains about
not living or working near a typical PokeStop. Apparently, Jacobovitz is one of those “enviable” people.
Quite a few of the Pokemon characters are found in
the vicinity of his bedroom, he said.
“Pokemon GO is lit”
“People say, ‘You caught that in your room, you’re
so lucky!” Jacobovitz said. “I live near a wash – such
a perk.”
On Saturday nights, the 27-year-old and his friends go
to Old Town Newhall to catch Pokemon and he sees
hundreds of people participating.
“Last Saturday there were about 50 people yelling out
‘I caught this one!’ It’s crazy,” he said.
Mike Hill, owner of Brave New World in Newhall,
said there is a Pokemon Go buzz in his store also.
“Apparently they’ve caught rare Pokemon in here. It’s
great to see them, because we’re a community-based
store,” Hill said.

There are always concerns about the
down side to a popular craze, such as
reports of Pokemon leading people
to dangerous areas or kids getting hit
by cars because they are unaware of
their surroundings.

in college. “Nobody looked up from
their phones to make eye contact with
me. The game is awesome as long as
our focus is bringing people together.
When our screen addiction intersects
human interaction, we’re doing it

Late teens seem to be a big part of the
Pokemon Go demographic.
“I play because it’s an easily accessible way to connect and share a common experience with my friends and
actually go outside,” said Camden
Espino, a senior in high school. “I
play usually at COC and at the mall.”
Many of them have deeper explanations for their interest in the game.
“Pokemon Go is bringing people
closer through these dark times,” said
Bryce Marks, 19, of Canyon Country,
referring to the last few weeks of tragic news, such as the shootings.
His friend, Chris Kelemen, shows
pure enthusiasm for his latest avocation.

College of the Canyons Partners with
OpenStax to Promote Free Textbooks
C
ollege of the Canyons has been selected to participate in a partnership with
OpenStax to encourage the increased use of free, peer-reviewed textbooks
that will help make college more affordable for all students.
A recent report by the United States Public Interest Research Group found that
48 percent of students surveyed said textbook costs impacted how many or which
classes they took each semester.
COC is one of 11 institutions from across the nation selected to participate in the
partnership program. The selected schools are now eligible to receive individualized support from OpenStax in order to help implement the widespread use of
Open Educational Resources (OER) on campus.
“With OER, students can have access to the course materials before the class even
begins,” added Weston. “Instructors have the ability to customize the course materials for a more local flavor of information that can engage students.”
Initiated by Rice University and supported by several philanthropic foundations,
OpenStax provides free textbooks that are developed and peer-reviewed by educators to ensure readability,
accuracy and adherence to
scope and sequence requirements of most introductory
college courses.
The announcement comes
after a rigorous application
process that included a demonstration of the college’s
willingness to drive adoption of OER — teaching and
learning materials that have
been released in the public
domain or under an intellectual property license as a nocost alternative to traditional
textbooks.
“The partnership between
OpenStax and COC reinforces our ongoing commitment
to student success, retention, and completion,” said Brian Weston, director of
Distance and Accelerated Learning at the college. “OpenStax will help COC with
support, OER adoption, and community advocacy. The enhanced support will reduce the cost of education for students and allow faculty the option to customize
course materials by adapting, remixing, and sharing materials with other faculty
to use in their courses.”
According to the non-profit organization College Board, college students should
budget between $1,200 and $1,400 per year for textbooks and supplies. This additional cost not only impacts students’ ability to attend college, but also the ability
to continue and successfully complete coursework.
OER sources eliminate cost barriers for students and allow every student immediate access to learning materials. OpenStax textbooks are comparable to textbooks that cost $200 or more, but are available for free electronically online, or
can be printed as a PDF at
a very low cost. Texts also
meet standard scope and sequence requirements and are
peer-reviewed by educators
to ensure accuracy and ease
of use.
“OpenStax is thrilled to
partner with College of the
Canyons as it expands its
OER initiative,” said Nicole
Finkbeiner, associate director for institutional relations
at OpenStax. “The college
has already seen tremendous
growth in student accessibility and affordability through
their OER initiative. By consulting with institutions on
strategy and by facilitating a
network of institutions, each
partner school is poised to offer tremendous savings for their students.”
COC is committed to increasing student success by reducing barriers, such as
high textbook costs for students, while still protecting academic freedom and ensuring quality instruction. In June, the college announced plans for an OER-only
degree program that is set to debut by fall 2017. The new academic pathway will
allow students to earn an associate degree in sociology by completing only OERbased courses.

OPINION
Lean to the Left
‘E Pluribus Unum,’ Out of Many, One.
Racism in America
Andrea Slominski
Contributor
W
e have a fantastic opportunity in this moment. We have the chance to make another
leap forward in achieving a foundational principle
stated in The Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.”
The journey toward equality for blacks and other
minorities in the U.S. is being run on a stormy and
unfinished road. As a democracy, we have done it
before; we have survived protests, both violent and
nonviolent. We have risen above our differences
and appealed to our higher natures, in order to redress the wrongs imposed upon minorities, races
and people groups, ensuring and supporting their
rights as Americans.
Now — today — we have another opportunity to
go farther and reach higher, toward human equality. Beginning with the Abolitionist Movement
before the Civil War, continuing with the Emancipation Proclamation, the ratification of the 13th
Amendment, the Civil Rights Movement, and Voting Rights Acts of the 1960s, Americans have never
given up on the quest to ensure equal rights for all
Americans. This is a fundamental foundation of
the American Dream. We cannot stop now.
There is a pattern of systemic racism in our country. There is no denying it. Despite all the laws and
amendments passed, racism has lingered in the
American soul. Blacks in the U.S. suffered through
246 years of slavery before the 13th Amendment
was officially part of our Constitution. It was another hundred years before civil rights legislation
was passed outlawing discrimination and segregation in our day-to-day lives. It takes time and generations to remove the echoes of this thinking.
Despite the Passage of the 14th Amendment, which
includes as one of its clauses the requirement that
each state provide equal protection under the law
to all people within its jurisdiction, we cannot help
but see, plainly, in view of recent events, how we
are failing to fulfill this right within the black and
minority communities.
“Young black men were nine times more likely
than other Americans to be killed by police officers
in 2015, according to the findings of a Guardian
study that recorded a final tally of 1,134 deaths at
the hands of law enforcement officers this year,”
said an article on Alternet.org. “Despite making
up only 2 percent of the total U.S. population, African American males between the ages of 15 and
34 comprised more than 15 percent of all deaths
logged this year by an ongoing investigation into
the use of deadly force by police. Their rate of police-involved deaths was five times higher than for
white men of the same age.”
This is what Black Lives Matter is about. Black Lives
Matter does not mean that no other lives matter. It is
a movement born of frustration, desperation, grief
and anger over the killing of black men, many unarmed, and the absence of justice for their deaths.
BLM wants us all to recognize that discrimination
and oppression still exist in the political, social, economic and cultural life of the U.S.
We need to make another leap forward as a society.
No one in their right mind condones this kind of
violence. No one in their right mind condones the
shooting of police officers. The shooting has got to
stop. “An eye for an eye ends up making the whole
world blind,” as Mahatma Gandhi so wisely said.
The BLM website explains it this way: “What Does
#BlackLivesMatter Mean? When we say Black
Lives Matter, we are broadening the conversation
around state violence to include all of the ways in
which Black people are intentionally left powerless
at the hands of the state. We are talking about the
ways in which Black lives are deprived of our basic
human rights and dignity.”
BLM has created itself to purposely be leaderless.
This is an attempt to keep the organization decentralized, so the loss of one leader, such as MLK,
will not cripple the movement. Even so, no one person can be held accountable for another’s actions.
One lone gunman, who had lost his mind in hopelessness, killed the policemen in Dallas. He was not
acting as an agent of BLM.
Even if you do not include the killings of multiple
black men and boys from the last year, you cannot look at the recent shootings of Alton Sterling
and Philano Castile and not admit in your heart,
that something has gone very wrong here. When
the people have risen up in this country and protested in order to change the laws and culture of
this great country, history shows (in our very short
history) that the issues were worthy – Civil Rights,
the Vietnam War and Occupy Wall Street are a few
examples. I believe this is worthy of our attention
too. Our country will continue to suffer as long as
minorities and the poor fear for their lives in interactions with law enforcement.
My children do not fear the police. They are white;
they live in Santa Clarita. If they are pulled over
while driving, they don’t fear for their lives; they
fear my reaction when they show me the ticket. I
don’t have to fear about interactions with police
when my kids go out to walk to Circle K, or drive
into L.A. for a concert. I don’t fear every day as they
walk out the door. I am lucky; we are lucky. That is
white privilege. I want everyone to have fearless life
privilege. I support BLM. Because Black Lives have
mattered less for a long time. That time is over.

I Give the Trump Up!
Pathetic:
Okay, I get it. I give up. Trump is a loser, he’s a racist, he’s a bigot (according to some folks, so am I), he’s a woman-hater and suffers from Islamophobia. Republicans don’t even like him and he would make a terrible
president. Get it? Got it? Good!
In Dallas a few days ago our president made one of his self-aggrandizing
appearances amid the folks who were in a truly agonizing mourning process. (In honesty, other political leaders were there, which I don’t understand either.) If the man wants to show his respects by attending the memorial with the other mourners, that’s fine, but to give a political speech
in which he refers to himself some 45 times is pathetic.
So now, let’s turn our attention to Hillary: She is the perfect person for
the job, honest and truthful, with the critical experience needed. She has
been successful in each aspect of that experience, and after all, she is a
woman, which should be the overriding factor when we cast our vote in
November.
Hillary is promising progress, positive changes, and a transformation that
will make life better for all of us. I’m confident she is aware of what
needs improving and how to do it. I’m sure she knows there are millions
of unemployed people who want to work, but have given up looking, there
are millions frozen and not improving their standard of living. Folks are not
adding to their wealth, they’re losing jobs, losing income. If someone has
savings, they’re worried somebody’s gonna take it or they’re gonna have
to tap into it before they intended to and it’s gonna be gone.
An Excerpt:
“And so, when African-Americans from all walks of life, from different communities across the country, voice a growing despair over what they perceive to be
unequal treatment, when study after study shows that whites and people of color
experience the criminal justice system differently. So that if you’re black, you’re
more likely to be pulled over or searched or arrested; more likely to get longer sentences; more likely to get the death penalty for the same crime.”
I’m sorry; I just don’t think a memorial for such a tragic event is the place
to publicly politicize your views.
She must be acutely aware the health care system’s been blown to
bits; people don’t know what or who they can trust going forward with
health insurance, as we head into 2017. Even if you have a job, you›re
worried the premium is going to be too expensive, adding to the increasing
cost of living you are already confronted with.
Recent Headlines Catching My Attention: (with my 2 cents thrown in)
Hillary must realize that when she sees the president on TV and he is
happier than he can be, touting how the economy is going well, that’s really not what’s happening. Surely she sees a president and sees the Democratic Party thinking things have never been better, and she is aware
they are not. Hillary must scratch her head and wonder how her fellow
Democrats actually believe this stuff, that they’re not just saying it for
political gain to get her elected.
Jeb Bush Warns: ‘People Are Going to Really Feel Betrayed’ by Trump.
No Jeb, we feel betrayed by you and your sour grapes big mouth campaigning for
Hillary!
Yep, and she knows she doesn’t have to address any crucial issues while
campaigning. All she has to do is bash the hell out of Trump, proclaim
free stuff and cruise to victory. Go Hillary! You’re exactly what this
country needs at this point in time.
Too Old For Sex? Not at This Nursing Home: There is hope!
Reality:
Will California Ever Thrive? Not in my lifetime!
Let’s get real. There are millions who are going to vote for this woman,
come hell or high water. They don’t care if she is a liar with recent hard
proof. They don’t care she defends women’s rights and turns around, taking
millions of dollars for the Clinton Foundation from countries that treat
women as third class citizens, where much of their treatment of women
is illegal in this country. They don’t care she intimidated her husband’s sexual abuse victims to keep them quiet. They don’t care she acts as though
she is concerned for all people, but there is documented proof that on
a regular basis she verbally abused secret service agents with profane remarks. They don’t care that the list of scandals she has been involved in
is a mile long, and if any other candidate had a similar list they would be
vilified – especially Mr. Trump.
Quotes of the Week:
Even if you don’t count the documented scandals and lies, people deadset on voting for her don’t care that she has absolutely no plan of action
she can articulate to show us what she is going to do to make this nation
better. All they know or care about is: She is a woman, she ain’t Trump, and
that’s enough for them.
The “don’t care folks” seem to not give a rip about anything that could
further harm this nation. This is evident in their blind faith fervor for a
candidate who is a documented liar with selfish tendencies that, by my
account, will slide us into a deeper sewer than we are already in. But
that’s just me.
Socialism is the Answer for Utopia:
I’m running out of ranting time and energy, but the speech Bernie Sanders gave on Tuesday really made my day. There was Hillary standing
right between him nodding her head like an animated doll, as Sanders
proclaimed to the world that she will create an American utopia for us
all, with free this and free that. WHAT A COUNTRY! And a broke country, I might add!
Anti-Trump Republicans Urge Kasich to Run as Part of Last-Ditch
Bid: Go ahead you idiots, disregard the record number of votes Trump got, screw
it all up and welcome Hillary to the White House. Is that what you want?
Obama at Dallas Service: We Are Not as Divided as We Seem: I’ll tell
you one thing, Mr. President. We’re a lot more divided than we were since your
incompetent butt went to Washington.
New Black Panther Party Plans to Bring Guns to GOP Convention:
I’m not seeing much hope of peace outside either of the conventions.
“We’re asking cops to do too much in this country. Every societal failure we put
off on the cops to solve. Mental health, drug addiction, loose dogs, failing schools,
the public expects cops to solve. Seventy percent of the African American community is being raised by single women; let’s give it to the cops to solve that as well.
Policing was never meant to solve all those problems.” (David Brown, Dallas
police chief)
“Don’t be a part of the problem. We’re hiring. We’re hiring. Get off that protest
line and put an application in.” (David Brown, Dallas Police Chief)
“Here I am, running one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world. He
(Obama) appoints me twice — one as the assistant director of national intelligence and one as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. I’m also his
senior intelligence officer. I never met with him once.” (Michael Flynn, retired
Lt. General)
“There is no doubt in
my mind that the policies and philosophy of
the left—including,
and especially, Barack
Obama—have played
the primary role in the
deterioration of our
national grit, character and mental toughness.”

Sports Highlights
Team and Individual Sports:
Two Sides of the Same Coin
By Keir Chapman, Mr. Sports
Contributor
F
or many, athletics are an essential part of life, as they help
teach people traits such as teamwork, communication, and trust.
It is easy to see why this would be
the case for team-oriented sports,
like basketball, but those lessons
might be harder to associate with
sports such as swimming, where
individual success is emphasized.
While team and individual athletics have their differences, they are
both sports, and both styles offer
principles that can be applied in
everyday life.
“Much more self-motivation has
to happen,” said Steven Himes,
the Junior Lifeguard Director for
Castaic Lake and former Canyon
High School swim coach, regarding individual athletics. “Team
sports do need the self-motivation
as well; there just is more pressure
from others on the team that help
along the path.”
Learning to find the strength within one’s self to complete the tasks
necessary for growth is difficult. It
requires you to not always choose
the easy route, and forces you
to step outside of your comfort
zone. Individual-oriented sports
forces athletes to hold themselves
accountable, and the performance
they put out is a direct reflection
of how much they prepared.
“Learning to play on a team and
being a part of something bigger
than yourself should teach sacrifice, dedication, commitment and
unselfishness,” said Greg Hayes,
who studied under John Wooden
and coaches basketball in Santa
Clarita. “There is also a shared
sense of purpose and accomplishment, especially when goals are
achieved.”
The concept of self-motivation is
important, but life also demands
that we, as individuals, integrate
into society. This requires us to
find out how we relate to the people around us, and how our own
personalities fits into the community. Team athletics create a
microcosm of society that helps
a person learn to work alongside
others, while retaining his or her
individuality.
In dual meets, some of the events
only have space for four athletes
from each team, so only the top
four can participate in those
events, the sprints primarily, and
only the top three finishers earn
points for the team,” explained
Christopher LaQuay, high jump
coach at West Ranch High School.
“I think it helps the athletes to become better and more competitive, and they all understand from
the outset at the high school level
that this is how it has to work. The
nice thing about track and field
is that it is the ultimate sport, in
terms of being objective, because
every performance is measured. If
one athlete ran faster or jumped
higher or farther, then that athlete
is a better performer than his or
her peers. There’s no subjectivity in evaluating performance and
who gets to do what, unlike, say,
in baseball or football.”
“Often there is little difference in
skill among players, but there is a
difference in the opportunities to
play and perform, disproportionate to the relative ability of the
players,” Hayes added. “This can
cause envy, jealousy, critical spirits, bitterness, self-pity, and undermining of players and coaches by
disgruntled players.”
Playing opportunities in team
sports can hammer home the idea
that life is not fair. An athlete can
put his heart and soul into practice
and still sit on the sidelines while
others play in games. In these moments, it’s easy to take a “woe is
me” approach.
Feelings of jealousy and anger are
a natural self-defense mechanism,
according to experts, but to truly
accept the situation and be able to
use it for personal growth, it helps
to keep some things in mind.
For instance, other athletes have
worked just as hard, and the time
spent in practice was not a waste,
as it helped the team as a whole
reach new levels.
“Sports that have competition
inside the team can sometimes
lead the team to fail,” Himes
said. “But, if the team has the
right mindset, it can also lead to a
stronger and better team.”
A commonality that both team
and individual sports share is the
competition that arises among
teammates. In both sports and
life, competing with friends and
loved ones can be a good way to
grow one’s own talent; if the competition becomes unhealthy, however, it may lead to a host of other
problems that will ultimately have
negative consequences.
Coaches urge a positive frame of
mind, and knowing one’s work
helps the team succeed is a way to
foster healthy competition among
teammates. This further bolsters
the point that both team and individual sports force athletes to
understand themselves and, on a
grander scale, how each personality meshes with the team’s.
“Our athletes have to compete
with each other every day in practice and in the meets themselves.
There truly aren’t many differences between team and individual sports, and athletes, including

Self-Defense Class at UFC
Gym Draws Crowd of
Women

M
ore than 130 women and girls
packed a free self-defense
class on Tuesday night offered by
a local partnership, including law
enforcement, Assemblyman Scott
Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, a non-profit
group and UFC Gym in Canyon
Country, where it was held.
The women heard opening remarks
by the Assemblyman, trainer Alex
Coates, Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Deputy Brian Heischuber,
and Linda Davies of the Domestic
Violence Center of Santa Clarita.
Coates started the class with warmups before instructing attendees using a series of defensive moves.
“I’ve never learned self-defense
before,” said Katie Franklin of
Canyon Country, a student at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
“I wanted to know some defensive
moves in case bad situations occur
while I’m at college.”
After instructions and demonstrations by Coates and another UFC
Gym trainer, Kevin, everyone had
opportunities to develop defensive
skills with time on the mat.
“People are always telling women
to watch out and be careful, but
I’ve never actually been educated
on what to do if being careful isn’t
enough,” said Annie Tiano, a student at California State University,
Fullerton. “I think it was a great
opportunity to learn a few things
that could possibly save my life if
I was ever put in a threatening situation.”
The stated goal for the one-time
course was to empower women to
make them “victors, not victims.”
Coates taught several strategies in
the two-hour time slot, including:
escaping the grip of an aggressor; turning the body to prevent pinning by another
individual; and scooting away, creating a distance from an assailant.
“The world is different today,” said Jane Bettencourt-Soto, who attended the
class with her friend, Sue Contant. “I just want to be more aware of what I can
do. Something that just may save my life.”
Leaders announced they would schedule another class, due to the size of the
turnout. For more information, contact UFC Gym at https://ufcgym.com/

We Rock the Spectrum
Parents of all ages are on the lookout for local amusement for the kids, and
a local play place has new owners who recently opened its doors to the community.
Austin and Michele Anderson purchased We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym
on Bouquet Canyon in Santa Clarita last month and are providing a safe sensory experience for children and young teens seven days a week.
“It’s part childcare and part play gym, so it’s a mix of everything,” said Austin
Anderson. “I think it has a little bit of everything for everyone. We have an
infant area … a zip line, trampoline and a whole bunch of swings. You could
bring all your kids and the older ones won’t be bored.”
Every Friday night is “Parent’s Night,” enabling local moms and dads to leave
their children in a stimulating environment from 6-9 p.m. and go out. Children
have to be potty-trained, so the youngest kids to benefit from the local amusement venue are about 2 years old.
In addition to the Andersons, caretakers at We Rock the Spectrum include an
EMT student and an elementary school substitute teacher. In addition to field
trips, camps and birthday parties, they specialize in providing amusement for
kids on the autism spectrum, said Austin.
Dozens of kids can play at a time, but it is a good idea to call first in order to
be sure there is availability – especially for the “drop off ” service. Potty-trained
children may be dropped off for periods of three hours, but the facility needs
to have advance notice to keep the ratio 4:1, children to employees.
Austin and Michele are a busy couple. He works in the film business, she
works for a restaurant management company, and they have two children – a
10-month-old and a 2 ½-year-old. They moved to Santa Clarita about five
months ago and bought a house in the area two months ago.
There is no age limit for kids to come and play, Austin said. There is a vending machine with snacks and tables in the back for parents to sit and do snack
time with their kids. There are birthday party packages that include pizza and
cake as well.
The play place is open 7 days/week, 9 a.m.-7 p.m. However, on Friday nights
it is open just to Parent’s Night Out customers after 6 p.m.
We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym is located at 26063 Bouquet Canyon Road
in Santa Clarita next to Mac’s Pools, near Dapper Dan’s Car Wash. You can
call them at (661) 259-7949 or visit WeRocktheSpectrumSantaClarita.com.
Location Filming in Santa Clarita Still Rising
Santa Clarita had another strong year of location filming in fiscal year
2015-2016 (July 2015-June 2016), according to the city’s film office.
Records indicate there were 528 film permits obtained and 1,305 location
film days, which generated an estimated economic impact of $30.9 million
to the local community. Not included in the reported numbers are the film
days and economic benefit from filming that takes place on certified sound
stages and does not require a film permit.
More than half of the filming days for FY 2015-2016 were attributed
to television production alone, many of which were from local Santa
Clarita based shows, which included returning hits “Blunt Talk,” “NCIS,”
“Part Timers,” “Recovery Road,” “Switched at Birth,” and “Stitchers.”
Additionally, several new productions moved into area sound stages last
fiscal year, including “Good Girls Revolt,” “Mistresses,” “Santa Clarita
Diet,” “Shooter” and “Westworld.”
Other productions that filmed on location in Santa Clarita last fiscal
year include television shows “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Bar Rescue,”
“Baskets,” “Bosch,” “Cesar 911,” “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders,”
“Fresh Off the Boat,” “The Last Ship,” “Modern Family, “NCIS: LA,”
“Roadies,” “Scorpion,” “Teen Wolf,” “Transparent” and “Twin Peaks,”
among others. Feature films included “Behold My Heart,” “Day of
Reckoning,” “How to be a Latin Lover,” “La La Land,” “The Last Word,”
“The Lovers” and more.
Many factors have contributed to the continued success and appeal of
filming in Santa Clarita, including the California Film and Television Tax
Credit Program, as well as the city’s own Film Incentive Program and
Movie Ranch Overlay Zone.
“We’re excited Santa Clarita has retained its reputation as an ideal location
for productions to film their projects,” said Mayor Bob Kellar. “We remain
committed to making Santa Clarita a top choice for filming because
the entertainment industry provides high paying jobs and contributes
significantly to our local economy.”
Santa Clarita’s numerous sound stages, movie ranches, thousands of filmfriendly locations, its one-stop shop Film Office, low-cost film permits and
ideal location within the industry’s 30 Mile Zone, have made the City one
of the most filmed areas in California.

Mobile Home Mess
W
hen the Parklane Mobile Estates residents came to the March 31
meeting of the Manufactured Home Rental Adjustment Panel,
they thought they were going to get to appeal the previously announced
rent increase.
The city’s officials posted 102 of those pages on its website.
Instead, it appeared the meeting turned into a challenge of the very petition they used to earn the right to appeal.
Cole finally sent notice on Mar. 14 that the appeal would be heard Mar.
31.
The law is a complicated matter, as they perhaps re-discovered. The appeal actually occurred, but the attorney representing the owners outworked, outmaneuvered and outsmarted everyone, meaning the residents
had to pay an additional $30.55 a month.
According to the meeting minutes, Fraser disputed the item coming before the panel. Rodriguez said last week that the residents shouldn’t have
been shocked, because they knew back on Nov. 23 that the owners were
objecting to the petition on those grounds.
“We can understand why they were thrown for a loop,” said City Housing
Program Administrator Erin Lay, who attended the meeting.
Lay explained it this way last week: “An appeal is a legal action in which
both parties get to make their claims. The owners wanted a rent increase,
then tenants objected, but the owners have the right to due process.”
When the Jan. 28 meeting occurred, the minutes showed no mention of
Parklane. Nor did the minutes from the next meeting, Feb. 22.
This did not sit well with Douglas Fraser, a member of the five-person
panel and one of two members to represent the residents. He blamed the
City of Santa Clarita for letting down the residents and called on Lay and
other staff to be barred from all Panel business.
Lay, who said she helped write this part of the municipal code, admitted
that the rights of due process and cross-examination are not specifically
spelled out in the code.
“City staff needs to be impartial when they conduct their business,” Fraser said. “The city’s business-oriented attitude is not helping the residents.”
“This is very complex stuff, very hard,” she said, “and you’re expecting
older people to read 6.02 when city staff doesn’t want to read it.”
The story began last September, when Parklane residents received news
of a rent increase effective Jan. 1. According to City Municipal Code
6.02, residents may appeal to the Manufactured Rental Adjustment Panel
using a prescribed three-page petition form that must be submitted to the
city’s Community Development Department within 45 days of receiving
the notice of increase or Nov. 14, whichever is earlier. The department
received the petition on Nov. 9, according to city documents.
Not so for Rodriguez. He pointed out that all Cole and his staff did was
count the signatures, which he called a “prima facie counting.” Nor did
they – and Rodriguez said no city should be expected to – do the title
searches to verify each resident because it’s time consuming and, at $35 a
name, expensive.
Most important is the third page, the Resident Signature Form. At least
50 percent plus one of the affected residents must sign this form. In this
case, Lay said, that’s 203 people.
Once the Community Development Department receives the entire petition, the head of the department, in this case Tom Cole, must certify that
the petition meets the guidelines set forth in the municipal code. If it does,
an appeal hearing is scheduled, and the fee increase does not go into effect
until after that hearing.
Oakland-based attorney Anthony Rodriquez, representing the owners,
received the petition and, in a letter dated Nov. 23 and addressed to Cole,
objected to the petition on two grounds: that the owners did not receive
the petition in time and that there weren’t enough valid signatures. Rodriguez outlined how that was so: City Municipal Code Sec. 6.02.020 (D)
defines a resident as “any person entitled to occupy a manufactured home
as the owner thereof or pursuant to a rental or lease agreement with the
owner of a manufactured home.”
Cole, nonetheless, responded to Rodriguez via email on Dec. 2, informing
him that the appeal petition meets the standards and the hearing would
be held in January. Cole added, “Your client may bring forth whatever
information it feels is relevant for the Panel for its consideration on this
issue.” (Calls to Cole’s office were forwarded to Lay.)
Rodriguez responded on Dec. 4 with another letter repeating the same
claims. Then on Jan. 27 and again on Mar. 10, Rodriguez submitted hundreds of pages that included title searches from the State Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) and other documents related to the appeal that he said showed five signatures were duplicates and
37 others were invalid because they were not the names on the title deed.
The minutes show the panel discussed the definition of “resident” versus
“owner” and ultimately voted 3-2 to deny the petition.
Rodriguez was satisfied. “We had the right to appeal Mr. Cole’s decision,” he said last week. “We had the right to challenge Mr. Cole’s findings that the petition could go forward. We proved beyond the shadow of
a doubt that there were not enough signatures.”
Lay said she felt badly. Fraser was not satisfied, however.
“City staff validated all the signatures,” he insisted. “Tom Cole, his staff
validated the signatures.”
Fraser further alleged in several May emails that Lay and Assistant City
Attorney Rachel Richman did not follow the procedures in the city code
and proposed that Lay and Richman be barred from all panel business,
pending an investigation.
Nothing has come of that. Lay said, and Fraser admitted, that there has
been a contentious relationship between the city leaders and Fraser.
“My first meeting was in 2007 and there never has been a change in attitude,” Lay said.
Fraser responded.
“I’ve been a thorn in their side for 10 years,” he said, adding that he was
happy that the matter has been publicly aired.
Perhaps the final indignity: The residents were required to pay the $30.55
increase retroactively to Jan. 1. Owners are giving them some extra time
to pay it, however.

If You Know You Have a Warrant,
It’s Best to Turn Yourself In
W
hen someone is suspected of committing a crime and confronted by law
enforcement, they don’t really have a choice as to what happens to them;
they will be arrested. When someone finds out they have a warrant out for their
arrest, they’ll be faced with two options: Ignore it and hope to avoid law enforcement forever, or they can turn themselves in.
Being in custody can be nerve-racking; the fact of the matter is, though, it is the
correct choice to turn yourself in if you know you have a warrant. That life isn’t
as glamorous as Hollywood can make it out to be, and it’s nearly impossible to
completely avoid law enforcement forever. Odds are, unless you plan on moving
to the moon, you’re going to have a run-in with law enforcement at one point or
another in the future. The upside to turning yourself in, however, is in the amount
of anxiety saved (as well as time spent in custody afterward).
Before turning yourself in to law enforcement, the first thing a person should do
is to obtain legal counsel. A criminal defense attorney can provide invaluable
advice, walk you through the arrest and booking process, and ensure that you’re
well-aware of your rights. Speaking with a defense attorney before you’ve been arrested will also be beneficial, in that they can begin working on your case as early
as possible. When you wait to obtain legal counsel or a court appointed public
defender when you’re in custody, there’s no telling how long it can take. Also, you
may find that your choices are significantly limited.
Once you have decided to turn yourself in, if you plan on getting out of jail as
quickly as possible, the next person to call is a local, experienced bail bondsman.
When you contact a bail bondsman before you’ve turned yourself in, they can
work with you and your family members to pull any resources together, set up the
paperwork, help family members understand the bail process, costs and payment
plan, and your court obligations. When a bail bondsman knows where and when
you’re planning to turn yourself in, this can also significantly help the timing of
your release.
When you do turn yourself in, you’ll have to go through the standard booking and
processing procedures (photographs, fingerprints, etc.). This can take anywhere
from two to eight hours or longer, depending on how busy the station/jail is at
the time. Once that process is completed, bail will be set by a judge and if bail is
allowed, it will be possible to obtain your release via bail bond.
In summary, if you have all your ducks in a row before turning yourself in, the
bond can be posted immediately upon your being cleared for bail. Once released,
make sure to get to your court dates and abide by the judge’s orders and you will
be able to put this all behind you, and get on with the more pleasant things in life.

Bankruptcy: Finding
Hope in Tough
Financial Times
Jul 15 - Jul 21, 2016
Un-Tiring
By Arif M. Halaby, CEP

By Ray Bulaon, Esq.

“I
can’t believe this is happening to me. Life’s not fair. I haven’t
done anything bad. Why do I feel like I’m being punished for
something I didn’t do?”
These are words often heard from people struggling with financial
problems.
At one time or another in your life, you may face debt problems that
you don’t know what to do about. You may find yourself unemployed, sick, in the middle of a painful divorce or a failed business
venture. We are living in tough economic times.
Bankruptcy is nothing more than a tool to help you obtain a fresh financial start. The honest debtor who lacks the resources to pay back
creditors is given a chance to start a new life free from the burden of
debts. Our very own U. S. Congress realized this more than 100 years
ago, and thus, enacted bankruptcy laws that will help debtors who
are in genuine need of debt relief. These laws were passed to help,
not hurt you.
So, if you are facing serious debt problems and don’t feel like you
deserve to be in this situation, there is no need to over-analyze everything and try to make sense of what you are going through. The
first step to financial recovery is a simple acknowledgement of where
you are and taking responsibility for your problems. Whatever you
are going through will soon pass. The past doesn’t have to be your future – unless you let it, by dwelling on things that you cannot change.
Atty. Ray J. Bulaon has been a debt relief attorney since 1998 and has
helped more than 5,000 clients get out of debt and solve tax problems. For a
free consultation, call his Valencia office at (866) 477-7772.
W
hy do most people have to go back
to work AFTER retiring?
newer companies that have yet to prove
themselves to you.
Purpose and money. These two factors
are always a part of the reasoning behind
people choosing to “Un-Tire.” There
may be many other reasons as well, but
these seem to make up a majority of the
components involved in the decision. My
experience has taught me that “purpose”
is, by far, a better reason to return to work,
even if it’s part-time employment.
Having enough money to stay retired can
keep you from becoming Un-Tired. But
what about purpose? Everyone needs to
have a reason to get up in the morning and
that initially begins with grandkids. But
once they are older (which means you may
have been retired for 10 years or more),
the need for you to be close by every day
diminishes. That means you may Un-Tire
just to feel needed and important, which
is often satisfied by working part-time in a
job that doesn’t require huge responsibility
or supervisory skills. I have also seen this
need fulfilled through volunteer work and
the development of hobbies.
How do you avoid the need for money
being the main reason to return? Simple.
Have enough retirement income so that
all of your needs and wants are met, and
then some. Annuities have satisfied the
retirement income need for retirees for
decades. Fixed and fixed index annuities
can offer the guarantee that you can never
run out of money and still not lose your
principal when the market goes down.
The losses in one’s retirement savings
have been a significant cause of retirees
running out of money. Annuities provide
a guarantee, based on the strength of the
company you choose. In my opinion, you
should select a company with minimum
guarantees, a high rating, and a long track
record. Companies that have been around
for decades and that have seen many
market and economic conditions seem to
show the most stability. Stay away from
Keep in mind that many of you will UnTire someday, and when you do, it is better
to do it for “purpose” and not for the
money. You can solve the money issue by
using financial vehicles like fixed or fixed
indexed annuities to supplement retirement
income. Then the choice comes down to
purpose. What job will you choose in your
Un-Tirement?

The Rocking Horse Derby
T
elevision and radio personality Ralph Story
hosted a nostalgic program back in the late ‘60s,
early ‘70s that still runs from time to time on our local public broadcasting stations. He called it “Things
That Aren’t Here Anymore.”
Ralph would take viewers around Los Angeles and
point out the spots where famous landmarks like
The Brown Derby Restaurant once stood. And he
would remind residents of bygone sounds, such as
the friendly whistle of the Helms Bakery Truck on
their neighborhood streets.
room. In subsequent years, the monies funded other
hospital needs. With the help of wood cutting geniuses Earl Lewis and Jerome Arnett, along with designer Evan Arnold, a fleet of small horses on casters was fashioned to carry riders down and back the
length of the Cal Arts Main Galley (renamed Disney
Downs in honor of the event).
Betty and her committee of Hospital Guild members
added decorating touches and talked local restaurateurs into providing food for the jockeys and the fans.
Pre-race festivities included a fashion parade of local
socialites wearing gowns that rivaled the Ascot Races
outfits featured in “My Fair Lady.” Dress shop owners Aggie Lewis and Margo Hudson created many of
the costumes. Next came the elaborately festooned
horses, paraded into the arena by their decorators.
Bearing catchy names like ZsaZsa, Impromptu Miss,
Sha Na Na, Little Hula Horse, and Masked Marvel,
the three-foot-high steeds were draped in everything
from satin and sequins to bright red plumage, black
velvet and calico frills. Eva Millsap and Joyce Armstrong won the Grand Prize for most elaborately
decorated horse three years in a row!
Eva Milsap and Joyce Armstrong Bell put finishing touches on
their prize-winning entry for the 1980 Rocking Horse Derby.
The Santa Clarita Valley could have its own version
of that show – not only in things that aren’t here
anymore (The Mustang Drive-In, Mama Toni’s Restaurant, Milt Diamond’s General Store), but in fundraisers as well.
One wildly popular event that ran for a number of
years in the ‘70s and ‘80s was the Rocking Horse
Derby. Realtor and Chamber of Commerce member
Betty Bardwell developed the concept to raise money
for the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s emergency
Finally, it was time for the races. The first race was a
traditional rivalry between the Sheriff ’s Department
and the California Highway Patrol, which featured
antics and stunts that delighted the crowd of 600
cheering spectators. In all, the Rocking Horse Derby
had all the spills and thrills that only horse racing on
wheels could provide. Riders on their tiny mounts,
would eagerly wait for the starter’s horn, then scramble down the raceway in windmills of flying feet and
legs, often swerving out of their lanes and bumping
into rival racers.
The most competitive and daring jockeys, who managed to stay on their steeds and avoid tipping over,
would plow into hay bales at the finish line, some-
Rocking Horse Derby jockeys race for the finish line.
times sailing over the tops of their trusty mounts.
And what fun to see a favorite businessman or politician finish by a nose – well, actually land on his
nose!
Winners over the years included Lt. John O’Brien,
Lt. Tom Rogers, Rusty Clark, Beth Asmus, Dave
Hooker, Deryl Ketchum, Dr. Gary London, Rick
Stephens, Bruce Mullen, John Relic, and Roger
Wells.
In addition to the ticket price for the event, more
fundraising opportunities came from the purchased
scrip that was used for betting on the entrants, and
the auctioning of the horses when the event was over.
The Rocking Horse Derby was a spectacle worthy of
a Cecil B. DeMille production, and perhaps it was
unrealistic to expect it to survive for more than a few
years, considering the hours of planning, the number
of volunteers, and the energy that such an enterprise
takes. In any event, with all its thrills, chills, and the
occasional scratches and bruises, it probably couldn’t
survive in today’s litigious atmosphere.

We are blessed to live in one of America’s most
eclectic and historically rich communities. Here’s a
look at what happened on this week in Santa Clarita
Valley records and lore…
Guild and was my old office at the newspaper.
80 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1936 ...
• Stupidity and the motor vehicle is not a new combination. A reckless father overturned his speeding
big V-8 up Mint Canyon. He, his wife and children
were severely injured when the car flipped three
times. “The oranges, coffee, plums and groceries
were mixed up with pillows and blood on the car,”
noted a witness.

• It’s nearly impossible to imagine the pain the poor
Ramirez family went through. Their house burned
to the ground a week earlier. In the confusion, they
left their five-year-old daughter inside. A few days
later, their only other child, just 3 months old, fell ill
and died moments after being taken to the hospital.
• As was often the case, it was impossible for the SCV
to lobby with L.A. County. A contingent of locals
unsuccessfully petitioned to have Hasley Canyon
spelled at least phonetically correct. Hasley is an old
typo. It’s really “Islay,” from the Tataviam name for
Prunus ilicifolia — or, as you lay people call it: the
holly leaf cherry.

• Believe it or not, The Gazette was not the SCV’s
first newspaper. The valley’s SECOND newspaper,
The Acton Rooster, published its premier edition on
July 15, 1891. It goes in and out of business over the
years (it’s “out” right now, I do believe). The SCV’s
