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.

The Gazette

New Radio Station
“We have a purpose,” he said, “provide a no-cost
media outlet to local artists.”
Dabba Doo!” a snippet from “Take This Job and
Shove It” and 20 upbeat songs in a row.
“A lot of people (my age) I
spoke to said they liked
older country, but nobody
was playing it.”
Many times, the songs run together in what Walton
calls a “beat mix.” Think of disco songs running together in a club in the late 1970s to get an idea. 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.
If you’re looking for a quick, non-litigious resolution to a
legal problem Attorney Antico is worth a call.”

Amazing Grace arrived at Castaic Animal Care
after being hit by a car. This tiny, sweet, perfect
princess was confused, injured, disoriented and
worst - unable to see. Over the past few weeks
she has regained some sight, we don't know
when or if she will have complete vision but we
know she is truly a miracle. When you hold her
she purrs and licks you, trying so hard to see
you. You can feel the love and trust radiate from
her. Even with her lack of vision she navigates
around the bedroom, climbing onto beds and
onto cat towers. She has a friend (Nano) in foster
with her and he helps her get around. If you
think you could offer this baby a very
special home, please contact her foster
on 661-993-1029.

Meet Cuddles, a
beautiful and
affectionate love
machine that is
looking for a
home. Cuddles
originally came to
Castaic Animal
Care and Control
when another
shelter was full. At
Castaic she
became very ill with an upper respiratory infection - she wouldn't eat,
wouldn't even lift her head. We didn't know what to do - she couldn't stay
at the shelter like that. Twice in one week poor Cuddles was in desperate
need of rescue. Luckily she was able to get into foster care and within a
few days was back to her purring, healthy and happy self. You see Cuddles
just needs love, she wants a bed to sleep on and a human to give affection
too. She is good with other cats and dogs and would make the
perfect kitty for someone looking for a companion. She is
vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and available now. You can
meet Cuddles by contacting her foster mom on 661-993-1029
Nano is a gorgeous little boy who loves to play.
He is friendly, sweet, affectionate and so much
fun. It doesn't matter whether you are watching a movie, vacuuming, reading - Nano is
trying to be with you. He is great with kids,
loves other cats, is happy to hang out with
dogs....... quite simply he is socialite desperate
for a home. He is neutered, vaccinated and
microchipped and currently in foster care. You
can contact his foster by calling 661-993-1029

OPINION
Knight Puts Politics
Before National Security
Lean to the Left
Hope a’ Plenty for the Future
By Oscar Mejia
Contributor
By Andrea Slominski
Contributor
T
he Olympics came along
just in time. 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.

Come On, Charlie!

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. He’s going to
feed the kids … but Uncle Sam has been a horrible
father.”
When President Johnson started the war on poverty, the number of black kids born to single mothers
was 7 percent. Fifty years later it’s an astonishing
70 percent! What went wrong? I don’t claim to be
a social expert or completely understand the complexity of blacks living in poverty, but obviously
tack is badly needed or we could end up with a
bloody and destructive revolution on our hands.

Thank you Doug for the front page article you ran
last week regarding the loss of our home & rental

Lance bought 5 acres from me about 5 years ago.
There were a 10 bedroom house two guest houses &
3 cabins on that property, which I had built over 35
years. That was totally wiped out. I think that is as
painful as losing my own property. Of course there
were several tenants involved too. 12 for Lance &

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

What Does Semi-Retirement
REALLY Look Like?
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.

Golden Valley High School
Grizzlies Football Preview
By Keir Chapman, Mr. Sports
Contributor
An aspect of playing the quarterback position that
will help Valano with short passes is decision-making, an area of the game that Valano admittedly
struggled with last season, but feels confident he has
improved upon.
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.”

Dry Run
Pedestrian Pathway
The pedestrian pathway in Santa Clarita features an artistic work by students and faculty
from California Institute of the Arts through Sept. 7, 2016. The theme is “Dry Run,”
which is a sound art installation created from CalArts’ Center for Integrated Media. It is
located between the Valencia Blvd. and McBean Pkwy bridges.
Six sound-art modules are suspended from poles along the trail and when individuals pass
by, the speakers play poetry that is related to the drought.
According to the CalArts website, the following poetry featured in the installation are:
• Dirge (on drought) by K. Bradford (Art, Critical Studies MFA 14),
• Dry Spell or there is something wrong with all that power by Dan Bustillo (Art MFA 14),
• How to Worship a River by Neela Banerjee,
• The Vessel by Ebony Williams (Critical Studies MFA 12),
• Drought Prayer Loop by The Provisional Collective, and
• Circumstantial Conditions by Free Radicals (CalArts faculty Jen Hofer and Rob Ray).
Santa Clarita Earns Transparency
Certificate of Excellence
T
he City of Santa Clarita received the
District Transparency Certificate of Excellence from the Special District Leadership
Foundation in recognition of its outstanding
efforts to promote transparency and good
governance.
In order to receive the award, an agency must
demonstrate the completion of eight essential governance transparency requirements,
including conducting ethics training for all
city councilmembers, properly conducting
open and public meetings, and filing financial transactions and compensation reports
with the state controller in a timely manner.
The City of Santa Clarita also fulfilled 15
website requirements, including providing
readily available information to the public,
such as board agendas, past minutes, current
budget, and the most recent financial audit.
Finally, the applicants must demonstrate
outreach to its constituents that engages the
public in its governance, through a regular
newsletter and special community engagement projects.
In less than 30 years, the City of Santa Clarita has expanded to include award-winning
schools, special events, businesses, parks, extensive trail systems, arts, cultural, and recreation programs.
The Special District Leadership Foundation
is an independent, non-profit organization
formed to promote good governance and
best practices among California’s special districts through certification, accreditation and
other recognition programs. The City of Santa Clarita is the first city government among
California’s special districts to be granted the
award.

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. These devices will allow our young men
and women to work with and
access the resources they will
be using once they leave our
district. I’m very excited at the
progress we have made in this
area.”

Transparency Certificate of Excellence,

manager, Joe Oerum, at (661) 286-4184 or

Two Types of Warrants
W
hen someone is arrested, it will typically happen in one of two ways: A
law enforcement officer has probable cause to suspect a crime has been
committed, or a judge has issued a warrant for the individual’s arrest. 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.

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.”

Now and Then
Snow for Breakfast
T
he SCV Rotary pancake grills
rolled into the Habitat for Heroes
homes at 5:45 a.m. while the Newhall
Ice snow-making machine started
up the hill on Harry Bell Drive at
6. 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.

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.
Their first performance is Aug. 26 during a football game. The first competition is scheduled for Oct. 8, 2016.

Montessori Method
I
n the 21st century, it’s common
knowledge that children learn differently. 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.

Maggie is a super sweet young girl who
loves to go for a good romp, and then have
a good back or belly rub. She enjoys going
for car rides and gets along with some dogs!
Maggie has had extensive training and
knows all her commands which she can do
with or without treats. She must go to a
household that doesn't have any cats
because she thinks they are things to be
chased. If you want a companion to go on
hikes and be active with then this is your
dog
To meet any of these dogs, please fill out an application for adoption:

Animals and
New Clients

Lucky is a big and lovable
goofball and is always
ready to play or go for a
run. He loves people and
