SEE PAGE 2 New Radio Station Plays Country-Western By Lee Barnathan Contributor No Longer a One-Horse Town Do you like classic country music – Don Williams, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline? Santa Clarita’s got a new radio station for that. Do you like more contemporary country –Shania Twain, Dierks Bentley, Hank Williams Jr.? Santa Clarita’s got a new radio station for that, too. Do you like a community station that features homegrown artists and offers a working studio for college students or anyone interested in broadcasting? Well, Santa Clarita doesn’t have a station for that yet, but if the owner has his way, it will one day. For now, no-commercial KZNQ-LP (101.5-FM) is on the air 24 hours a day – and has been since March – broadcasting at a low-power (the LP) 100 watts out of Bill Walton’s house in Saugus (sorry, not that Bill Walton). At 100 watts, the Santa Clarita Valley is about the only place it can be heard, he said. “Q-Country,” Walton said, is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit owned by the Santa Clarita Public Service Broadcasters Corporation, of which Walton is president, CEO and currently program director and sole on-air personality. And he has big dreams for it. continued on page 3 2 SANTA CLARITA GAZETTE & FREE CLASSIFIEDS Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 VOTED AV’S BEST BREAKFAST YEAR AFTER YEAR NOW OPEN!

An example: “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” by Twain into Bentley’s “5-1-5-0.” He also wants to conduct educational seminars so that someone with no broadcasting experience can take courses that Walton will one day offer and come on the air and “have fun with it.” But sometimes Walton sneaks in a non-country song because he thinks it would sound good and “modern country is so rock-oriented.” So, the Rolling Stones, Motley Crüe, Poison, John Cougar Mellencamp and Van Halen have made appearances. This doesn't just happen at 5 p.m. but at random times throughout the day. But that comes later. For now, he’s having a blast running the station the way he wants to. “It creates a very unique sound,” he said. “I’m having fun. … I can’t complain.” “It's my idea of what I feel my listeners want to hear,” he said. Good thing, because it took about 27 months and $60,000 to make this a reality, although he had the idea six years ago. Dealing with the Federal Communications Commission was a bureaucratic nightmare, and he needed a high spot in which to hoist a transmitting tower. His solution: He rents from the City of Santa Clarita on a hill called Round Mountain near the intersection of Magic Mountain Parkway and Tourney Road. That means playing all sorts of country music (people often email requests). He emphasizes the 1990s and 2000s during the day (“We go after the 18-to-20 bracket heavy during the day”) and the classics from 8 p.m. to midnight, which are aimed at the over-50 crowd that includes Walton. “A lot of people (my age) I spoke to said they liked older country, but nobody was playing it,” he said. At 5 p.m. each workday, he plays what he calls a “country party mix” that features the whistle heard at the start of “The Flintstones” followed by “Yabba However, his plans for the station go beyond country. He would like to offer a forum for local artists to appear on air and play their songs – and they don’t have to sing country. He would like to work with College of the Canyons’ journalism students to produce local news shows and traffic segments. But first he needs a studio and has set a goal of next June to find a location. “The whole point is community service,” he said. “We will always play music, but as we get a studio, we will (back off the country format) and at certain times air locally produced shows.” “I was born in (Paducah) Kentucky. I’ve got country music in my blood. I grew up with Johnny Cash and Hank Williams on my daddy’s radio,” he said. “The format (here) is very appealing. We have a pioneering spirit, a lot of cowboy history.” “Mr. Antico’s skill in mediation was extremely helpful in resolving a long running company dispute.

In the midst of all the craziness going on, it has been nice to dive in head first. Our family has loved following the international Olympic competition for generations; gymnastics, swimming, and equestrian show jumping are our favorites. There is something special about sitting together as a family and watching the athletes fulfill their destinies, treating us all to “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” I will never forget watching Mark Spitz at the 1972 games or “The Miracle on Ice” of the U.S. Hockey team in 1980 against Russia. The Olympics are a positive, global phenomenon that the world enjoys and participates in together. From the opening ceremonies to the closing, we root for our nation’s athletes, while admiring young people from around the globe who have dedicated their entire lives to this moment. Excellence, wherever it comes from, is admired and celebrated. What a terrific example we see in the young athletes from many nations – dedicated, hard working, and proud. At the time I am writing this, Monday the 15th of August, the U.S. has won 75 medals. We have a lot to be proud of. The world has a lot to be proud of. Our hope for the future rests in these young people, their generation. Not just the athletes themselves, but their entire generation. It is for their generation that we must preserve the world – for them, their children, and their children’s children. It is for theses future generations that we must be our best selves, looking past our needs and desires, to create a world that is sustainable, global and peaceful. No one wants to swim in sewage; no one wants to live in a ghetto; no one wants to watch their children starve. Desperately trying to escape from war, no one wants to watch their children drown, fleeing across a dangerous sea. No one wants to raise their children in a refugee camp. If the world can come together for the Olympics, if the athletes who work so hard can be supportive to one another, why can’t we take their lead and extend that global brother and sisterhood to our everyday lives, our economies, our politics, our values? Can we be Olympian in our dedication to fighting global warming and poverty? Can we be Olympian in our dedication to eliminate unequal access to education, clean water and food? It’s all possible if we really want to be champions – of each other, champions of the future, of humanity, and our planet. T his November, we will not only cast our ballots for our choice for president, but also for who we want to represent our community in Congress. Right now we are represented by Congressman Steve Knight who, like myself and so many of us living here, is a veteran. While we share that experience, and I respect him for his service, I do not believe Knight is the right person to represent our community or our veterans in Congress. A n article in The Signal on Tuesday, August 16, 2016 is titled “Costly Obamacare Crumble.” Some of the points made are: the health insurance exchanges that are the beating heart of Obamacare are on the edge of collapse, with premiums rising sharply for even narrower provider networks, non-profit health co-ops shuttering their doors, and even the biggest insurance companies heading for the exits amid mounting losses. Three states, Alaska, Alabama and Wyoming, are already down to just a single insurance company, as are large parts of several other states, totaling at least 664 counties. A report out a few months ago stated that 13 of the 23 states that entered the federal program (Covered California) are pulling out of the program. The report further states that the most likely outcome, then, is the muddled middle, keeping gravely ill Obamacare on life support, with the major policy fight being over the extent to which taxpayers should be forced to provide billions in direct corporate bailout cash infusions. In June, Knight voted to deny immigrants the opportunity to join the military and protect our country. Knight’s vote is an insult to President Bush and to all service personnel who fight honorably when our country needs us. Here’s why: In September of 2001 I was a full time student at LA Pierce College set on becoming an aerospace engineer. But after 9/11, I literally ran to my recruiter’s office and volunteered to serve my country. Against my mother’s advice to stay in school, I put my education on hold for a greater cause. I promised her I’d return to my academics once my country did not need me to serve any longer. Like my fellow veterans from The Greatest Generation I answered the call of my country. And yet, Knight treats veterans like me differently. Why? Because I am an immigrant. At the age of eight I immigrated to the United States from Nicaragua to escape an oppressive regime. My mother and I faced tough times, but like most immigrants we worked hard and loved our adopted country. When the U.S. needed all hands on deck, then-President George Bush authorized all permanent residents serving our nation in time of war to receive expedited citizenship. President Bush put country before the politics of immigration. Unfortunately, Knight doesn’t agree and he By Jim Lentini Contributor simply doesn’t understand. Just one percent of the U.S. population serves in the military. I served for 13 years: two years as a permanent resident and 11 years as a proud, American citizen. Why stop patriots from serving the only country we know and love? And Knight’s anti-immigrant record extends beyond preventing immigrants to serve our country. It includes Trump-like policies like building an unrealistic and costly border wall and deporting parents of American citizens without mercy. It’s clear he has no interest in comprehensive immigration reform and he opposes programs like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) - which celebrates its fourth anniversary this week – that protected hundreds of thousands of young people in California. My story has a happy ending. I’m married and have four beautiful children. I’ve earned my bachelor’s degree and Master of Science in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering. I currently work on research and development of supersonic airplanes. In other words, I still work every day to keep this country safe. There are so many more immigrants that want to contribute to our country like I have, and we need a member of Congress who will stand up for us. This November, join me in rejecting Steve Knight and supporting Bryan Caforio who will stand up for all people who want to serve our country. The Future of Obamacare 2016 Let me remind you that for the past The article further states the Obama century before Obamacare, we had Administration is already playing medical insurance that had individual fast and loose with the law to shovel companies competing with each other as many bailout bucks to insurers as for business and working to stay effiit can – on top of Obamacare’s huge cient in contracting with doctors’ netsubsidies to lower-income consumers works that best served their insureds. and a penalty tax on people who don’t And remember, carriers had to have buy in.

Every application and every dollar of premium goes through the government office TPA to control who is applying for coverage and taking their expense cut of 38 percent off the top to pay all the increased expenses we as taxpayers and insureds who pay for medical insurance have to pay. Remember, just in California, that when Covered California was adopted, that added over 1,000 more government federal and state employees to monitor, subsidize, etc. What do you think that is costing now and forever? Corporate America will make decisions by the end of this year whether to comply with Obamacare rules or opt out and pay the penalty which in most cases will save the company money! And, corporate America will not feel guilty as employees will have a qualifying event when the group is cancelled, and employees will be able to be enrolled in an individual plan! But, where the employer has been paying some or most of the cost for the employee and family, this necessary medical protection will become a large burden of expense for most middle class employees and cause increased economic problems to our existing issues in all areas of our economy. **The Views and Opinions expressed in these columns are those of the writer, not necessarily those of Valley Publications/Santa Clarita Gazette.** VISIT OUR ALL NEW WEBSITE AT WWW.SANTACLARITAFREE.COM Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 Your Hometown News and Classifieds Come On, Charlie! 9 Speaking of Words: Mr. Vignola was at it again with his opinion piece in The Signal this week. Come on, Charlie, there are innocent people being boiled to death by ISIS, terrorist attacks occurring on a regular basis, race riots in the streets, economic growth that is anemic at best, a labor participation rate at a record low level, a national debt amount that is so huge nobody can fathom it, a decline in family values, military downsizing, and you want to squawk about Trump’s tax return? His freaking tax return, Charlie? You go on about: what if he did that; what if she refused to do that; there is no excuse for that; it gives overwhelming impressions; and if she did that it would be all over Fox News. This empty diatribe ends with “What are you so scared of, Donald?” I don’t know what Trump is scared of, but I know what I’m scared of, and that’s the number of low information voters who will fall for the useless-emotionalmatter their lives. It’s looking like 2008 and 2012 all over again! Words vs. Words: “Words can’t break you, so they shouldn’t shake you.” At least, that’s how I remember the lyrics from a song from yesteryear. If that is the case, it leads to the question: “Do words matter?” There focus on in this election and people are peeing all over themselves about Trump’s words. What did he say, why did he say it, and what did he mean? How , how could he say that, why does he go can he be so insensitive, is he ever going to change? Is there any way, any chance, people can quit being so obsessed with words and venture into common sense evaluation of who will be the best president? If you think she will be the best, then point out to me the details of her plans to accomplish that. If you think higher taxes, more regulations, more government control and more spending is what’s best for this country, so be it. If you think free college, equal pay for women, minimum wage increase and more gun control are what this country needs most, then have the guts to stand up and say it. But, how about not getting your underwear (or Depends) all wadded up over what the other guy’s words are, unless you can hers. Let’s lose the junior high mentality of judging only words. "Loving God... Loving Others" County. He is a black gentleman who speaks so much common sense truth. I sincerely hope he runs Regarding the riots in his county this week, he said: “The failed progressive urban policy causes anger and resentment in people that simmers below simply a catalyst that ignited the already volatile mixture of inescapable poverty, failing K-12 public schools, dysfunctional lifestyle choices like fatherless homes, gang involvement, drug/alcohol abuse and massive unemployment. Here are the facts: Milwaukee is run by progressive Democrats. Their decades-long Democratic regime has done nothing to reduce these urban pathologies; in fact, their strategies have exacerbated the situation by expanding the welfare state.” Truer words cannot be spoken; since 1964 we have spent over $200 trillion trying to win the war on poverty. Cash aid, education, job training, energy aid, food, health care, housing and social services make up most of this spending. What do we have to show for all of this spending? Read the previous thing missing is the record number of black people on food stamps. Clarke went on to say: “I look at the progressive policies that have marginalized black dads. They push them to the side, (saying) ‘you’re not needed.’ Uncle Sam is going to be the dad. He’s going to provide for kids.

Fifty years later it’s an astonishing 70 percent! What went wrong?

Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 Signal, COC to Host Domestic Violence Summit By Matt Thacker Signal Staff Writer N ext month, Signal Multimedia and College of the Canyons will host the inaugural Domestic Violence Summit. Several experts from various fields are lined up for the event, which will take place 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Sept. 23 at the College of the Canyons Performing Arts Center. Speakers include Jackson Katz, educator, author, filmmaker and cultural theorist; Louise Godbold, co-executive director of Echo Parenting & Education; Patricia Wenskuna, founder and CEO of Crime Survivors Inc.; Steve LePore, executive director of 1in6 Inc., and Patti Giggans, executive director of Peace Over Violence. “We are proud to be teaming up with College of the Canyons to address this dire problem and be an ally in breaking the cycle of domestic violence,” said Charles Champion, president and publisher of Signal Multimedia. Champion noted that there were eight homicides related to domestic violence in the Santa Clarita Valley last year. He said he was impressed that the city of Santa Clarita did not try to hide from the problem, but instead tackled it head-on. The summit is meant to provide information for organizations, law enforcement, social workers and individuals throughout the state to help them better deal with domestic violence. College of the Canyons has assisted with the summit by making its facilities available for the event. man Eric Harnish. “We hope the summit will not only provide an opportunity to foster dialogue, but also lead to the development of new ideas and potential solutions for this important public health issue.” Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, which is sponsoring the event, conducted a community health needs assessment in 2013 that identified domestic violence as one of the top 10 health needs in the Santa Clarita Valley. “We’re aware that domestic violence is an issue in the Santa Clarita Valley, so we feel it’s part of our obligation as a community hospital to help community health needs,” said Patrick Moody, spokesman for Henry Mayo. The event will open with a continental breakfast followed by speakers and breakout sessions. It will conclude with a cocktail reception in the Performing Arts Center lobby. The summit will feature topics including best practices for dealing with domestic violence, breaking the cycle, and domestic violence and the media. Tickets, which cover all sessions, continental breakfast and breakout sessions, cost $75. Discounts are available for groups of four or more. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Coalition for Family Harmony, Domestic Violence Center of Santa Clarita Valley and the SCV Youth Project.

By Arif M. Halaby, CEP Contributor M any people will work for 35 years or more, and then retire. The moment they stop working, their life seems to change. For some, the changes are filled with a sense of relaxation and fulfillment. But for many others, it is a time of adjustment that can just never be met in the few enjoyable years after that special day. Semi-retirement is becoming a trend for many who enjoy work and play. They seem to be this group of people who take off as many as 3-6 months every year. Sometimes it is spent traveling, volunteering, or taking on short-term adventures. I have seen this begin, for some, as early as in their 30s and 40s. It means that day-to-day life is spent on experiences rather than the accumulation of “stuff.” It often means renting a place to live versus buying, or buying a used car versus a new one, and camping instead of staying at the Ritz. Often, family size is also affected. Having no more than two children makes the travel and costs more manageable. This exchange of options in life often gives the semi-retired person an opportunity to explore various occupations over a lifetime. However, with today’s remote work environment, it is possible to live a nomadic life and still earn top income. The experiences gained over this period of time allow families to grow closer and value different things. Some of the drawbacks are the traditional long-term financial planning. Because the mindset is often a shorter term one, saving in retirement accounts and other financial assets that grow over time is not accomplished. This impact will be felt years down the road – after it is too late to change. This hybrid lifestyle is beneficial for those who expect a long working life in a career field that is relevant for decades. If technology changes enough to make your skill set irrelevant, you will be left with a lot of experiences, a rent payment due on the first, and a retirement account that is lacking. Make sure you save for a rainy retirement day. - Arif M.

T he past two seasons under head coach Dan Kelley has seen the Golden Valley Grizzlies transform from a 2-8 team, struggling to find relevancy in the Santa Clarita football scene to a 6-4 squad that is poised to become even better in the upcoming season. “We just have to build on what we’ve been working on for the past two years,” Coach Kelley said, in reference to how the Grizzlies can improve on their 6-4 record. “We have 23 seniors on this team and they’re determined to write their own history.” One incoming senior who will be looked to for leadership is quarterback Josh Valano, who will be taking the reins from Victor Corona, a recent Golden Valley graduate, whose 14 touchdowns and 1,539 passing yards helped lead the Grizzlies to their first winning season in the last decade. “Every day I do more drills than we did last year,” Valano explained about how he is preparing for his new starting role. “I’m also working with my receivers to build more chemistry, stretch the field, and also get our short passes down as well.” Improving on short passes will help Valano transition into the starting quarterback role, as it will allow for him to get into a rhythm earlier in games, raise his completion percentages, and create easier opportunities for deep passes as defenses become more accustomed to defending shorter passes. “Last year my decision-making was a little slow, as it was my first year coming into varsity,” Valano said. “This year I make my decisions a lot quicker, and I know where the holes in the defense are.” Valano and the offense’s transition from last season to now will be aided by incoming senior running back Kj Maduike, who averaged 5.5 yards per rushing attempt. On the defensive side of the ball, the Grizzlies also find themselves in a period of transition after losing Bryan Barrera, Trevor McKnight and Jake Gilliland, whose respective 91, 80 and 65 tackles last season led Golden Valley in that category. Fortunately, Tai Brown, who had 31 tackles to lead all juniors, as well as eight sacks to lead the defense as a whole, has trained in the hopes of having even greater success his senior season. “I’ve been working out hard in the weight room and my strength has definitely improved,” Brown said. “Last year, I had more speed and this year I have a better balance of speed and strength.” For the defensive unit to flourish after the loss of Barrera, McKnight, and Gilliland, Brown knows that it will take a team effort, and because of this fact, he doesn’t feel pressured to take over for the graduated trio. “I know we have a lot of juniors coming up from junior varsity that are definitely going to step up,” Brown said. “And we have some returners that are going to rise to the challenge of taking over the defense as well.” A specific defensive skill that Brown pointed out needed improvement over last season’s performance was demonstrating more discipline during games. Brown believes all the hard work from the offseason has helped to improve the defense’s discipline, which will further aid Golden Valley as the new seniors take over. The Grizzlies find themselves opening up the season on the road, as they take on the Antelope Valley Antelopes on August 26 in Lancaster. Despite defeating the Antelopes 23-6 last season, Coach Kelley and the Grizzlies aren’t taking their opponent lightly. “We’ll look at last year’s film and look at what we did right and what we did wrong,” Coach Kelley said. “They’re going to be a very talented football team, so we’re going to have our work cut out for us.” Golden Valley will play their first home game on September 2 as they face the Royal High School Highlanders, who finished last season at 4-7, but handed the Grizzlies a 31-26 defeat. Golden Valley’s first CIF Foothill League game will be at Saugus on October 7, and the excitement of playing football in Santa Clarita is not lost on Valano. “It’s a little nerve-wracking because you don’t really know how things are going to turn out,” Valano said, in reference to playing in Santa Clarita. “You never know, any team can change just like that.” The Good and Bad of High Speed Rail By Lee Barnathan Contributor T he concept of a “bullet train” or “high-speed rail” does not cause neutral reactions among people who might be affected by it. Santa Clarita leaders, especially councilmembers Marsha McLean and TimBen Boydston, made it very clear that they don’t want the proposed Anaheim-to-San Francisco train running through their city, and so far, they have won. The state High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) decided in March to study routes that would bypass the city. Right now, the train isn’t going away, despite the best efforts of some. Assemblyman Scott Wilk tried to repurpose billions of dollars to fund water infrastructure projects, but his bill died in committee. HSRA Information officer Adeline Yee said the goal remains for the train to connect the Central Valley, north of Bakersfield, to San Jose by 2025 and link Los Angeles and Anaheim to San Francisco by 2029. Outside of Santa Clarita, the farther north one goes, the more positive people feel about the rail line. Go farther south and one finds more “not in my backyard” attitudes. Here are two examples: THE GOOD Al Perez owns Main Street Graphics in Fresno, but his passion is boxing and helping kids stay off the street and get out of gangs through the discipline required by boxing. He also owns Main Event Boxing. His two ventures originally were run out of the same building. Perez wanted to move, but couldn’t afford to. Then came the rail. The proposed route required him to relocate, which initially caused him anxiety. He had heard horror stories about people losing their homes and land due to some government body claiming “eminent domain.” Instead, he found a place a block and a half away that was double the square footage for his print shop. (HSRA and the Fresno County Economic Development Corporation also helped him get fair-market value for his old place, according to a YouTube video the HRSA posted.) Now, Perez prints more T-shirts than ever and has been able to take on larger contracts and add a sign business as well, the video said. His boxing program netted him next to nothing. After relocating, the additional printing income let him open a new club and expand his boxing program, where he now makes money. Wherever he looks, Perez sees the benefits of highspeed rail, and he believes that property values will increase as a result. People can live farther away, and if enough do, they can build communities that would build up property values. “I’m for the rail,” he said. “Everything worked out great.” Feline Conservation Center, where Gadwood serves as public relations director. The EFBC was founded in 1977 to help repopulate endangered wild cats. Currently there are 20 different types onsite, according to the website. These include leopards, tigers, cougars, bobcats, lynxes, jaguars and ocelots. When the EFBC was founded, Rosamond was out in the middle of nowhere, which Gadwood said provided an ideal environment for these cats. There always was the noise from Willow Springs International Raceway and Edwards Air Force Base to deal with, but Gadwood said the felines adjusted. She fears the rail project is too close to home and might not just adversely affect the cats, but indigenous animals such as the desert tortoise. “High-speed rail is going to disrupt their environment, or will as construction looms,” Gadwood said. Yee said she is aware of the EFBC’s concerns and isn’t deaf to them. “Obviously, we are working with a lot of local companies to make sure we reduce any potential impacts,” she said. Gadwood is not sold yet. THE BAD Of course, not everybody shares Perez’s optimism. Up in Rosamond, Camille Gadwood worries about her cats. Currently, the rail project is to run about half a mile from the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound’s “We need the cats to be serene so they can breed and know nothing can go wrong,” she said. “(The rail) is not conducive to that. We’re concerned (about) where the Rail Authority is going to put this rail.” Call Santa Clarita Gazette & Free Classifieds at 298-5333 to place your FREE classified ad today! 12 SANTA CLARITA GAZETTE & FREE CLASSIFIEDS Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 Athletes of the Week Abbey Weitzeil Anthony Ervin S W She helped the women’s U.S. 4x100 freestyle relay team win the silver medal by swimming the fastest leg of the relay, with a time of 52.56 seconds.

By Martha Michael Gazette Editor I t has been almost 50 years since the Backwoods Inn opened its doors to the Santa Clarita community. And over the years it has grown to become a favorite to many outside the SCV as well. The house with the charming exterior became a thing to behold inside also, when owner Rose Ohler collected unique décor. The original owner was Jerry Woods, who bought the house on Sierra Highway in the mid-1960s and opened its doors to a hungry public in 1966. Two years later, Bob and Rose Ohler bought the Backwoods Inn, and it’s still in the able hands of Rose and daughter Carol Ohler. The Ohlers’ collection of antiques includes a vintage telephone booth and a long bar and wall piece that came from a drugstore. The continental style menu and signature drinks at the Backwoods Inn built up a returning clientele, which makes the restaurant lively during lunch and dinner times. There are all cuts of steaks, prime VISIT OUR ALL NEW WEBSITE AT WWW.SANTACLARITAFREE.COM rib and surf choices, such as crab and lobster. There is, of course, the unforgettable stuffed baked potato – the Ohlers’ original recipe. And last – but definitely not least – customers routinely top off their ample servings with a Backwoods coffee (adults only, for that one). Customers sit in roomy booths at retro tables, both in the lounge and the restaurant, and folks are led to seats by friendly hosts across sawdust-covered floors. Reservations are suggested at Backwoods, as it draws from a customer base that’s miles away. There’s a feeling you’ve gone back in time for a spell, for warm comfort food in an even warmer atmosphere. And locals know there are some things that never change – and that’s the appeal of this local landmark. Backwoods Inn is located at 17846 Sierra Hwy in Canyon Country.

Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 Hart District Adds to Number of Chromebooks per Student T he William S. Hart Union High School District is increasing the number of Chromebook devices students use in class to nearly 15,300. It is part of a plan to have 23,000 devices – one for every student in the District – in two years. An objective of Common Core in California is to have technology involved in all subject areas. When coupled with the state’s decision to change student performance testing from STAR to the computer-based CAASPP assessment, the need for more devices to help students became apparent. “Four or five years ago a pilot program was rolled out in the Hart District to see what it would be like to have devices in mobile carts that could be brought into the classroom,” said Jon Carrino, director of technology services for the Hart School District. “Initially it was only English and a couple other classes were using them. It really worked well.” Since that pilot program, more and more devices have been purchased and brought into the schools, with the goal of having one device for every student in the district to be achieved in the 2018/2019 school year. “We are going to have over 23,000 devices,” Carrino said. “Some Fortune 500 companies don’t have that. When you add a staff of 2,000 connected with devices as well, you get a very large network. Yet we’ve been able to add the devices without adding IT staff.” The Hart School District Governing Board has approved a plan for funding to continuously refresh devices in the years ahead to keep up with technological advances. But more importantly, the funding for devices helps the District prepare students for the 21st century workplace in college and beyond. “I think this is wonderful,” said Joe Messina, Hart School District Governing Board member. “It’s been a long time coming. Mr. Carrino has done an excellent job in making sure our students are ready to meet the challenges of a new type of work force in a new type of work environment.

Probable cause is pretty straightforward. If a police officer witnesses a crime or is presented with enough evidence to suspect someone committed a crime, the officer has the legal authority to arrest. A good example of this type of arrest would be a DUI stop. The police officer sees someone driving erratically, so he/she pulls the person over and subjects the driver to a breathalyzer. In general, if the breathalyzer reads .08 or above, the officer can legally arrest the driver. Warrants are a bit more complicated in that they are required to be issued by a judge. There are two types of warrants a judge will issue that require someone’s arrest: arrest warrants and bench warrants. Before an arrest warrant can be issued, an investigation will first need to take place so that law enforcement officers can gather evidence. These investigations often include police, a victim or witnesses, and even the district attorney. The evidence is then brought before a judge or a grand jury, who must decide if the evidence suggests probable cause that a crime was committed. If so, the warrant is issued and signed by the judge. If not, then no warrant is issued. Once an arrest warrant has been issued, police have the legal authority to locate the suspect at the individual’s home, office, or anywhere else, and place him/her under ar- rest. The suspect will then be held until the court date issued, or until bailed out of jail (if bail is set). Bench warrants are somewhat different than arrest warrants, but the end result is often the same: The suspect is arrested and taken into custody. Bench warrants are usually issued by a judge when a defendant either fails to appear in court, fails to pay a fine or fails to adhere to one or another court order. Bench warrants are the most common warrants issued in California. When someone is arrested under a bench warrant, there will usually be a bail amount set. The amount will vary depending on the reason behind the warrant. Those who fail to appear in court while out on bail will often find themselves with much higher bail amounts this time around. Regardless of which type of warrant is issued, the police are obligated to execute it. A warrant isn’t just a piece of paper that gives the police or sheriff the power to arrest someone, it’s more like an order from the court telling them they have to.

Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 CalArts Provost Speaks at Getty Women who arrive by the 10 a.m. workshop start time are entered in a drawing for a free gift certificate. Spanish translation can be provided with advance request. D Previous workshops in the series have helped women select career options and pursue meaningful employment, work on goal setting and time management, set budgets and file taxes, and go after financial support after a divorce. Workshops are designed to help participants believe in their unlimited power and potential and build the skills necessary to succeed. Przyblyski delivered one of five “spark talks” highlighting her expert opinions on the subject in a 10-minute session. Her talk covered “The Some Place Chronicles,” her project bringing together the artistic talents of many CalArts alumni and faculty including Dean of the School of Art Thomas Lawson, Art faculty Harry Gamboa, and alumna Sandy Rodriguez, Nicole Miller and Isabelle Lutterodt. Zonta offers the free LifeForward workshops, usually on a monthly basis (although the series is usually dark during July and December), in cooperation with Single Mothers Outreach, Domestic Violence Center, Habitat for Humanity Returning Women Veterans and Los Angeles County Department of Child & Family Services. Workshops are organized by topics in which women express interest. A schedule of upcoming workshops is posted on www.scvzonta.org for women who are interested in a particular topic. uring the J. Paul Getty Museum’s Arts Integration + California: A Convening held early this summer, CalArts Provost Jeannene Przyblyski was chosen as one of the featured speakers, according to the California Institute of the Arts website. The special event included discussions, keynote addresses and case studies regarding strategies for integrating the arts into schools and communities. The Some Place Chronicles, which is a project of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, is set in five unincorporated neighborhoods in Los Angeles County, including Athens, East Rancho Dominguez, Florence-Firestone, Lennox, and Ladera Heights/View Park/ Windsor Hills. The artists worked to discover and map each community’s character through “creative placemaking,” an art practice aimed at revitalizing public spaces. The study is followed up by pulling together artists, business owners, residents and government entities. New Donut Recipe Earns Culinary Arts Student Trip to Wisconsin A couple of local residents got to experience a turophile’s dream come true during a local trip to Wisconsin. College of the Canyons adjunct faculty member Herve Guillard and COC culinary arts student Andrew Courtenay spent three days learning about all things cheese during the 2016 Wisconsin Cheese Immersion Externship held earlier this month. Guillard and Courtenay were among six instructors and culinary students selected nationwide to participate in the comprehensive cheese immersion program. “It was an amazing experience to talk with the master cheesemakers and not only get information about their craft, but to also hear their passion for their art and the family culture behind it, since most of them are third generation cheesemakers,” said Guillard. “We were able to see production from small farmsteads and artisan cheesemakers with two to three employees to large manufacturers with over 100 employees.” To be considered for the externship, culinary instructors and students had to collaborate and submit an original recipe that uses Roth® Natural Melt™ cheese. Guillard tapped Courtenay, one of his top students, to work together on a recipe. Three weeks of recipe trials and tweaks led to a winning combination in the form of a cheese and Nutella-filled donut served with chipotle applesauce. “It was a great surprise,” said Guillard of their selection to participate. “My main objective was to show Andrew how to develop and write a recipe, because recipe design and development is a bit of a different exercise, but what a reward to actually win!” Courtenay was surprised when Guillard asked him to participate in the contest, but was excited by the prospect to go to learn about cheese in Wisconsin with his mentor. “He makes things fun and makes you think and be creative with the ingredients,” said Courtenay of his mentor. Hosted in partnership with the Center for the Advancement of Foodservice Education and the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, the externship involved a creamery tour, a cheese making session, as well as a hands-on cheese class led by Emmi Roth USA corporate chefs and award-winning cheese makers. Andrew Courtenay, Left; Herve Guillard, Right “My sincere congratulations to both Chef Herve and one of our star students, Andrew Courtenay,” said Cindy Schwanke, chair of the college’s culinary arts and wine studies program. “Chef Herve is a talented chef instructor and mentor to our students. He is a true example of doing what matters for our students.” In addition, the externship included local cheese tastings, a visit to the famous Dane County Farmers’ Market and a dairy farm tour. “I’ve never been around so much cheese,” said Courtenay. “We easily tried over a hundred different kinds of cheese and Wisconsin is beautiful.” VISIT OUR ALL NEW WEBSITE AT WWW.SANTACLARITAFREE.COM Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 Your Hometown News and Classifieds Call Santa Clarita Gazette & Free Classifieds at 298-5333 to place your FREE classified ad today! 19 20 SANTA CLARITA GAZETTE & FREE CLASSIFIEDS Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 Got Solar?

The Elks, the Veterans Advocacy Network, and Help the Children volunteers began setting out backpacks, school supplies, and packaged foods at 7. By 7:30, everything was in place for the Saturday, August 13 Veterans Neighborhood Breakfast. The tented snow patch was a happy surprise for the children. Many pulled their parents past the pancake grills so they could be the first to scoot down the makeshift slide and throw snowballs. Their parents breakfasted at nearby picnic tables, watching as their children enjoyed the icy fun. Veterans and their families were treated to a Neighborhood Breakfast which also included snow play and Backto-School back packs and school supplies for the children. The early morning event was arranged by Habitat for Humanity SF/SCV to introduce Santa Clarita’s newest military families to a few of the organizations that will be part of their community support system. Twenty-six families are currently living in the development on Centre Pointe Parkway and 28 families will soon be moving in to the second phase of the project. gathered in the College of the Canyons parking lot equipped with hammers, nails, and the paint needed to construct wooden fences. On-site projects implemented by non-profit groups like SCV Morning Rotary, Soroptimists, the Auxiliary of the Child & Family Center, and Zontians have included painting interior doors and frames, laying foundations for retaining walls, and planting trees and shrubbery. The Santa Clarita “village” is one of two Habitat for Heroes projects funded by a $21 million dollar award from the California Department of Veterans. A similar tract is being built in Sylmar. The original funding has been augmented by private donations and hours of volunteer labor at the construction site provided by local businesses and non-profit organizations. To qualify for a home in Santa Clarita, a veteran’s family income must range between $52,000 and $83,000 a year. CalVet home loans are available to eligible veterans in addition to Habitat SF/ SCV second loans. During the building phases of the project, veterans have been encouraged to provide “sweat equity” to help reduce the costs of building the homes. Children test the snow slide at the Saturday, August 13 Neighborhood Breakfast One of the first building projects, which was sponsored by WeBuild, was held in 2014. Over two hundred women SCV Rotarians Pat Kenney, Mike Thomas, and John Dortch dish up breakfast Aug. 13, at the veterans village construction site located off Centre Pointe in Saugus. BRIDGE BITES from The American Contract Bridge League RISK AND REWARD In a team game or a money game, making the contract is all-important, and overtricks are merely a secondary consideration.

Declarer’s play was disastrous but, at duplicate scoring, not unreasonable. If he’d have made his overtrick he would have been rewarded with a good score. Too and Diamond, and Spades broke 5-3.

Aug 19 - Aug 25, 2016 By Krista Daly Signal Staff Writer A fter 27 years of the Saugus High School band being under the guidance of director Bob Gibson, Jay Jarrett is taking over the program and will gradually make it his own. His vision is to establish a six-year music program that will allow music students to build up their skills throughout their classes starting in middle school. “We have the students for a short amount of time,” he said. “It’s about having a path for them to be the most successful.” “I am not Bob Gibson, but I am a music educator,” said Jarrett, who taught in Bakersfield for four years. An active musician who has been playing trombone for nearly 20 years, Jarrett plays with the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra and conducts the Valley Chamber Ensemble, a new group formed in the San Fernando Valley. One of the goals set for the year includes having each student master self-awareness to determine what was done well and what can be improved upon. Another goal is for the students to perform music they’ve never heard, he said. Saugus High School Principal Bill Bolde described Jarrett as young, energetic and someone who has a heart to serve the community. Jarrett also said he wants to bring in guest musicians and educators to inspire the students. Jarrett, a graduate of Northern Illinois University and California State University, Northridge, said he will be making calculated changes to form a fully comprehensive instrumental program across the grade levels. The students first met Jarrett shortly before the school year began at band camp and started to work toward some of these goals. “Every single day, the students met and exceeded the goals I set for them,” he said. “The program is a process of evolution, not revolution,” he said, noting that although he brings his own teaching style to the band, he does not plan to re-invent something that has worked so well for years.

Schools have made gains in varying their styles of education to benefit students. For instance, they sometimes broaden methods of teaching for those who are auditory or experiential learners. Montessori Schools emphasize a unique learning process as well. Using all five senses, students take in information through listening, watching and reading, each at his or her own pace. The Montessori method Founded in 1907 by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first female physician in Italy to become a physician, she used scientific observation to design the process. She was guided by her discovery that children teach themselves, which is why Montessori schools “prepare” the environment for students, then release them to freely choose from a number of developmentally appropriate activities. While other pre-schools may resemble babysitting, Montessori students are in the process of discovery, learning through concentration, motivation and self-discipline. The Montessori method is both a philosophy of child development and a guide for growth, according to Erin Johnson, director of Montessori of Valencia. “They learn independence, such as learning to buckle and tie their shoes,” Johnson said. “There’s accountability. They clean up after their own mess, and develop manners.” Age groups are combined at Montessori of Valencia, as students advance at their own pace, to large degree. And children of all ages – even the “babies” class – are learning, not just playing. “There’s no limit to it,” Johnson said. “At most pre-schools you’re limited. This goes way above and beyond all that. They gain the ability to learn, to explore, and to find things.” Montessori classrooms tend to be quieter and less chaotic than standard pre-schools. Training begins with the youngest classrooms, which are facilitated to enable the students to participate in activities that have meaning and allow for growth. “It’s all hands-on – they’re touching, feeling, there are no worksheets,” Johnson said. There are thousands of Montessori schools in the United States alone. The intended results for those who are involved include students who have positive attitudes toward school and a lifelong curiosity.
