He’s been called “arguably, the most controversial member of the council.” He’s been accused of having “gone rogue against his peers.” If there’s a controversial issue that comes before the City Council, he often opposes his fellow members. Country Magazin e Ca ny on TimBen Boydston continues to do things his way, often refusing to play the game in the name of protecting the taxpayers. He hopes he has done that enough to earn another term on the council. He is one of two incumbents (Mayor Bob Kellar is the other) running for re-election; although, as of last week, he had yet to file papers. azine Canyon Co unt Mag ry try Ma un Co azine Canyon Co unt Mag ry try n Ma u g Co yon The contest is a win-win for Can ine z a readers and merchants, as voters get to reward businesses that offer them favorable products and services, while winners get bragging rights for an entire year.

The deadline for casting votes is Sept. 15, 2016. ountry Magazi n yon C e Can Ca ny on He uses the word “independent” to describe himself. “The fact that when I see something I don’t believe is good for the taxpayers, I’m going to fight very hard to change that,” he said. “I always stand up for what I believe in, right or wrong, no matter what the council thought.” e zin ga Bouquet and Valencia continued on page 3 continued on page 3 COME IN TO HEAR ABOUT SOME SOLUTIONS!

A prime example is the county’s homeless initiative. Boydston wanted to have the city partner with the county in reducing homelessness. A majority of council members, Kellar, Laurene Weste and Marsha McLean (whom Boydston sometimes calls “the legacy members”), opposed it. Boydston several times tried to place the matter on the council agenda; his fellow members responded by passing a rule that says an agenda item can’t be placed without consent of at least three council members (sometimes called the TimBen Rule). Another example: the Laemmle theaters in Old Town Newhall. The City granted the Laemmle family $3,420,525 to build the theaters. Boydston said the deal keeps a private entity (Laemmle) in business for at least 15 years, but it will take 100 years for the money to be fully paid back to the taxpayers. His efforts to “make the taxpayers whole” failed. He intentionally refused to yield the floor to Weste when debating the war memorial in the Veterans Historical Plaza and snapped at the mayor when debating parking at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital. Is it any wonder, then, that when it came time to choose a Mayor Pro Tem, he was passed over, thereby also denying him a desired spot on the budget committee? Or when he actively sought a seat on the Sanitation District board (and many community members spoke on his behalf), he was rebuffed? “How anyone could believe that those same peers would vote in his favor is beyond me,” local veteran Bill Reynolds wrote in The Signal. “I will say, I find Councilman Boydston to be a very friendly, intelligent and thoughtful person; I just think that his tactical abilities are not well played.” It’s clear his fellow council members treat him differently. During meetings, the various members usually call each other by their first names; they usually call him “Mr. Boydston.” (Boydston said that before he was on the council, members would often laugh, sneer and disrespect speakers; he believes he has “helped calm the waters.” Of course, Boydston has had his share of successes. He made sure an oil pipeline contract included more liability insurance to the City of Santa Clarita. He fought hard to keep the Burbank-to-Palmdale high-speed train out of Santa Clarita. He was involved in the charge against Measure S, so there are no digital billboards. He has helped seniors by opposing seniors-only mobile home conversions to all-ages parks, and favors a new senior center and community center. He has helped bring body cameras to sheriff ’s deputies sooner rather than later, and has ensured construction on the Golden Valley bridge and Via Princessa has continued. While he said he thinks he votes with the council 90 percent of the time, it’s the times he doesn’t that has marked his recent council term. continued from front page Best of Canyon Country The following winners have held the title for the past year: Best of Canyon Country 2015 Mexican: Casa Vieja Asian: ZingGa Grill American/BBQ: Rattler’s BBQ Pizza: Oggi’s Pizza and Brewing Co.

The Local Fire and Sheriff Thank You and Benefit Event is being hosted by the City of Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County and the SCV Disaster Coalition.

Anyone wishing to provide refreshments for first responders at the event should first contact Adele MacPherson at 661298-1220 or via email at: fire@ hometownstation.com. Following the Sand Fire, many local organizations, neighborhoods and businesses contacted first responders with offers of pancake breakfasts, barbecues and dinners. While first responders deeply appreciate the outpouring of thanks, they have asked that one event be held where everyone could gather. Additionally, they have requested no gifts and instead have asked that all donations be directed to local victims of the Sand Fire through the SCV Disaster Coalition, a group that will be collecting monetary donations and gift cards at the August 27 event. “The Local Fire and Sheriff Thank You Benefit is an excellent way for residents to show their appreciation of local first responders who did such a terrific job of protecting our community,” said Bob Kellar, Santa Clarita Mayor.

During the 1990s, Staudt developed her concept of line and color with mixed media and oil paintings. Her paintings are a reflection of the surrounding environment, emotional expression and streams of color from nature’s palette.

Drug-Free DFYIT Program Sponsors Art Exhibit at City Hall A new art exhibit, presented by local anti-drug program DFYIT, will be on display from Thursday, August 11 to Thursday, November 10, 2016 in the First Floor Gallery at City Hall, located at 23920 Valencia Boulevard. The exhibit, sponsored by Drug Free Youth in Town, is entitled “The Art of Saying No,” and is an artistic interpretation of what it means to live a drug-free lifestyle by DFYIT members. From photographs to watercolor paintings, DFYIT members created art that reflects the negative consequences that they associate with drug abuse and why they choose to “Say No.” Artwork also reflects how they make positive and healthy life choices, in spite of peer pressure and images in the media that downplay the reality of drug abuse. One of the pieces of displayed art will be “Side Effects,” a drawing by Saugus High School DFYIT member Marc Paz. The drawing shows a pair of lungs made up of wilting flowers that illustrate the damage caused by cigarettes. Another featured piece is “Disconnect” by Sequoia School DFYIT member Sam Embuido. The mixed-media piece shows a girl floating through space, unable to pull herself back to reality while under the influence. The exhibit will feature works from other DFYIT members, including Chloe Anderson (Saugus High School), Kayla Song (Hart High School), Sarah Backer (Hart High School) and Mariah Linear (Golden Valley High School). DFYIT is the City of Santa Clarita’s voluntary school-based drug prevention education program in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department, Los Angeles County Fifth Supervisorial District and the William S. Hart Union School District. The program empowers, recognizes, and celebrates drug-free students. With a growing student population, involvement in the community, and both educational and social components, the DFYIT program is a way for students to say no to drug use. For more information on DFYIT, visit DFYITSCV.com or call (661) 2503708.

Like a temblor that causes a landslide, the slow rumblings within the Republican Party have built up a head of steam over the last few weeks, resulting in an inevitable earthquake on the party fault line. Republican leaders, past and present, military generals, CIA experts, senators, congressmen, and more are jumping off the cliff like so many boulders shaken loose from shifting ground. The primary shock waves grew in amplitude, one jolt reinforcing the other, still no tax returns, plans to dissolve international treaties and trade agreements, support of nuclear proliferation, the Russian hacking of DNC emails, the invitation to continue hacking DNC emails, the attack on the Khan family, the acceptance of a Purple Heart, and the refusal to support Paul Ryan and John McCain in their reelection bids (until the last minute), until finally —The Big One — the 9.0 hit and shook the party to the core. The water that floated the Republican ship is being sucked out to sea. On Monday, the New York Times headline read “50 G.O.P. Officials Warn Donald Trump Would Put Nation’s Security at Risk.” Finally. Finally, the Republicans are realizing they have let a fox into their hen house, and all of them, roost- ers and hens alike, are fleeing to safer ground, squawking all the way, slamming the gate shut behind them. For me, this means it is safe for a few days, maybe even a few weeks, to take my eyes off the smoking, political rubble heap. I’m going to tune out for a while, spend some time with my kids, who will soon move out, after which life will never be the same. I will spend some time at and in the ocean, enjoying the beaches of Southern California, jumping waves and boogie boarding. And, if I’m lucky, and paying attention, see some dolphins and sea lions swimming free. I’m going to READ some great books I have been meaning to get to. I’m going to work out a lot and share some great wine with friends. I suggest you do too. I’m going to get ready to start writing my dissertation. I’m going to live life as fully as I can, love and help as many people as I can, and trust that if something big happens, it will find a way to intrude on my pursuit of living-in-the-moment with those I love. Because it is inevitable that after a 9.0 somewhere there will be a tsunami, let’s hope it comes November 8 and washes our shores clean of racism, misogyny, hatred, and ignorance. By Sarah Farnell Staff Writer A s Santa Clarita residents, we often take advantage of the fact that we live in one of the safest cities in the country. City incumbents, as well as law enforcement personnel, work hard to make sure that locals can enjoy the amply patrolled fruits of SCV. But, as we have recently seen with the Sand Fire, no town is safe with the caustic results of natural disaster. Because of this, our city has put in place a series of emergency measures that officials hope will result in swift, immediate action when calamity strikes. Here’s the official four-step plan for the public to enact in case of an apocalypse. Your cooperation is appreciated [mandatory]. 1. Alert Bob Kellar. As you may have noticed, Mr. Kellar wears many, many hats. He was recently seen as a firefighter, straddling a garden hose, sweat greasing his rugged, custodial epidermis as he battled flames that nearly swallowed property. In the event of emergency, simply trigger the “Bob Signal” (like the Bat Signal, but a silhouette of Bob Kellar wearing terminator shades). Bob will slide down the fire pole he has custom built in his living room and run to the scene at lightning speed. There will be no smoking fires in Santa Clarita – as long as he can help it. **The Views and Opinions expressed in these columns are those of the writer, not necessarily those of Valley Publications/Santa Clarita Gazette.** 2. Preserve Equity. Save the lawns, rescue all “no skateboarding” signs, hoist artificial fountains, link arms around Six Flags Magic Mountain, save the only Whole Foods – in that order. When the doo-doo hits the fan, humanity must come together to preserve the town’s culture and assets. Without these things, we might as well be the Antelope Valley. The future is in your hands. 3. Save Bob Kellar. Anybody can find themselves in a jam, including Bobby himself. When B. Kellar gets a little too overzealous and tries to save the city on his own, turn off the Bob Signal and retrieve him by activating the emergency net. The switch is located next to City Hall, and says “in case of rapture, break glass.” You can’t miss it. 4. Cut your losses. After every citizen is safely relocated to Bob Kellar’s front yard, abandon hope for preserving the things that you know deep down we would be better off without. If it came down to it, we could afford to lose a Starbucks or two, or maybe even the Hart Mansion. While we’re at it, the Westfield Mall. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And as long as Bob is around, we are untouchable. **Warning: This is a satire. The Views and Opinions expressed in these columns are those of the writer, not necessarily those of Valley Publications/Santa Clarita Gazette.** Political Endorsement Letter Policy The Santa Clarita Gazette will print any letter (space available) supporting or endorsing a candidate for political office free of charge.

Submerged in the endless litany of facebook posts, I found one that asked “What is so bad about being a liberal?” Being a liberal doesn’t make you a bad person (two of our three sons lean that way, but I’m sure they’ll grow out of it). It just means you’re screwed-up in the head … just joking! While I appreciate the caring for people aspect of liberal beliefs, I think many on the left fail to recognize hieve emotional It’s not their money, so what the heck, spend it to help all of the downtrodden, whether they deserve it or not. It doesn’t make sense to most liberals to try and exercise social programs or giving away free anything-and-everything just to soothe their own emotional desires. Those of us on the right are blasted as hateful, uncaring jerks when we try to have common sense enter into the thinking of who, how and when folks should be helped by the government. Liberalism can also lead to hypocrisy: If a left winger is so concerned about helping the fallen masses, would they go bankrupt themselves, hurting their family, to fund the needs of others? If they’re so adamant about country, how many will allow them to stay at their houses, in their backyards, or even in their neighborhoods? poor parts of Washington, DC; what’s that about? Reduce Personal Taxes: Raise Taxes on Middle Class Lower Business Taxes: Eliminate Death Tax Submit Budgets That Show More Revenue (or least the same) as What Will Be Spent: Make Efforts to Pay Down National Debt: Reduce Regulations on Business: Initiate Changes to Bring Companies/ Their Jobs/Their Cash Back to the U.S.: Lift Regulations on Energy Companies That Cause Job Losses and Suppressed Production: Implement Energy Production Policies Creating Huge Numbers of Jobs, Making The U.S. Energy Independent: Push For Health Insurance Law Change, Saving Citizens Money With Better Quality of Care: Attempt to Cut Outof-Control, Stupid Spending Hillary NO Trump YES queen of lies and her apparent dementia-caused shortcircuited lapse or the documented lies and deception. YES NO NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES What about some of these headlines to show fair and balanced reporting? “More Hillary Emails Show Shady Dealings” and “Terrorist Dad Says He Was Invited to Clinton Campaign Event” and “Attorney for Benghazi Parents Explains Case Against Clinton” and “Poll Shows Trump Gaining on Clinton” and “Watchdog Group Claims Clinton Initiative Facilitated Military Espionage” and “Emails Raise New Questions on Ties Between Clinton Foundation and State Department.” NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES NO YES I guess liberals only want to sound good while bankrupting America by not putting their money where their mouth is. They want everyone from any country to be taken care of, as long as they don’t have to do it themselves! Again, taking personalities out of the equation, I don’t understand how anyone cannot see the common sense about Trump’s stance with these issues. Please help me Let’s Play Pretend: anyone. Does it not make sense to allow free enterprise to work its natural course, providing economic ing, as it has in the past? Let’s pretend Donald Trump doesn’t say stupid things, and is always articulate, with presidential demeanor. At the same time, let’s pretend Hillary Clinton doesn’t have 22 documented scandals linked to her that brought her honesty and integrity into question. Let’s pretend she doesn’t verbally abuse secret service agents to the point that none of them want anything to do with her detail. 9 We must recognize that the economic smothering that’s been going on for the last seven and half years will lead us down the path of economic ruin if allowed to continue. So, if you want someone to be president because their personality rest of us through hell for another eight years. So, pay attention, low information voters and young skulls of mush. This is much more than a campaign battle between two candidates. This is a political war that is two against one, and it sure as hell ain’t fair! Recent Headlines Catching My Attention: (with my two cents added) Mother of Baby Booted from Trump Rally Speaks Out, Defends Candidate: Another example of Trump vs. Media. Kasich Leaves Door Open to Trump Endorsement: If I was Donald, I’d tell him to stick it, but at this point Trump needs every ounce of help he can get. Trump Frenzy Proves Media Need Xanax: Maybe so, but how about being fair and balanced, just like the Gazette? Media Justify Anti-Trump Bias, Claim He’s Too ‘Dangerous’ for Normal Rules: How professional is that? More Evidence of Hillary’s Lax Security Disorder: I didn’t see or hear anything about this in the mainstream media. Did you? Quotes of the Week: “If bashing Trump were an Olympic event, the media would win every medal.” (Rush Limbaugh) “Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.” (Jim Morrison) “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power.” (Malcolm X) “Just because something isn’t a lie does not mean that it isn’t deceptive. A liar knows that he or she is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.” (Criss Jami) Pay Attention: Seriously, as hard as it is to pretend these things don’t exist, let’s drill down to what really matters and what is best for us as Americans. Let’s try to go against the grain of human nature and not have personalities or past records come into the mix of our thinking. Please take a minute and think about what would be best for you, your kids and their kids: "Loving God... Loving Others" When I run into an acquaintance of mine, he usually tells me, “Pay attention, Doug, just pay attention.” I ask, “Pay attention to what?” He kind of smiles and says, “I’m just telling you to pay attention.” I don’t think this is what he was referring to, but I’m asking you to pay attention to the blatant media bias against Donald Trump! Even if you’re a Clinton supporter, pay attention to the way the mainstream media is trying to shove every load of crap onto Trump while ignoring Hillary’s own load of it. Example: The radio alarm clock woke me at 5 a.m. this morning, as it always does, to CBS radio news. The lead story was Trump’s remarks on the 2nd amendment and how it had turned into the worst thing he has ever said. Sunday Services at 10:00 AM Now Meeting at Canyon Springs School 19059 Vicci Street In Canyon Country (Whites Canyon Rd. at Pleasantdale Street) (661) 251-8340 candidate and all the fecal matter that clouds her campaign.

If you were a foreign power looking to weaken America, you couldn’t do better than Hillary Clinton’s economic agenda.” (Donald Trump) “She pledged 200,000 jobs for upstate New York as Senator.

Brighton’s show featured vintage Bowie fashion, and his all-star band brought the legendary sound of David Bowie to life. Reporter Frank Alli sat down with David Brighton to discuss his tribute show. F.A.: How were you inspired to create your show and to honor the music of David Bowie? D.B.: I had been a professional musician for many, many years and I played guitar for many acts as a side man. I was also in bands that had record deals and so forth. At some point, I got a job working in Las Vegas six nights playing George Harrison with a show called Twist & Shout. That was a spinoff of a Beatlemania show that had been popular in the ‘80’s. I came along and started doing that in the mid ‘90’s. So, after I had been doing that for about five years, I started traveling around the world, and I just saw this whole other world of musical acts that were paying homage to the greats. I saw a show called Legends in Concert in Las Vegas, where they have Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Michael Jackson, etc., and there was no one doing David Bowie. When I was doing original music, the complaint I always got from producers and record people was that I sounded too much like David Bowie, so I would try not to sound like David Bowie. Then they would say, “You sound like a guy who is trying not to sound like David Bowie.” So, I thought I’d take what I had learned with the Beatlemania style shows and put together a Bowie show to see how that went. F.A.: How did you perfect Bowie’s dance moves and mannerisms? D.B.: That’s a compliment to ask that. I studied his videos, photographs, any- thing that was available. I have been watching him since I was a kid. But I had never been a front man before. I was a lead guitarist who sang. It’s an insane amount of work, just doing your best, you could never become the other guy, but you could certainly try. F.A.: Who is your favorite David Bowie character & why? D.B.: I have two favorites, really – the Ziggy Stardust era, which is from between 1972-1973, Aladdin Sane, Ziggy Stardust LPs. My second favorite character is what I call The Thin White Duke, which was around 1976, sort of elegantly dressed, black suit, black vest, white shirt. F.A.: What are the challenges with pulling off the character of Ziggy Stardust? D.B.: It’s insanely hard to imitate Bowie. He’s such a consummate performer and his range of performance skill really is endless. I learned that when I made a TV commercial with him, he was just doing things off camera no one even knew, he was pulling performance bits out of his hat that on one even knew he had. He was just an insanely talented individual. F.A.: Are there certain challenges with pulling off the character of the Thin White Duke? D.B.: All of them, because each character has a whole different set of moves, a whole different attitude, and a whole different look. So, each one is like impersonating a different artist almost. So, yes, it’s a vast, enormous job. F.A.: Where do you find the various costumes used in your show? D.B.: They’re all custom made. There’s nothing that you can go buy off the rack. I’ve spent quite a bit getting things re-created as faithfully as possible. F.A.: Can you talk a little bit about your band? Who re-creates the music of David Bowie? D.B.: I’m really, really thrilled and honored to have the group of musicians that are working in the show. We’ve got people who have played with The Doors, and Quiet Riot, Eddie Money, Nancy Sinatra and America – name act after name act. They’re the best musicians one could hope for and they are also incredible people. So, I’m really thankful for the team, and we get along very well. Musically, they can play anything under the sun, and do it with the same authority and integrity as the originals did. F.A.: How did you transition from musician to being a tribute artist? D.B.: I learned from the Beatles guys I worked with how to put the music under a microscope, and we would learn every note, and to begin to do that with the character visually, as well. And then with Bowie, I just amplified everything, as if it were on steroids, and just dug in and really studied everything available. As I said, if I had realized before I started this how much work it was going to be, I probably would have run out screaming in the other direction F.A.: What is your preparation like before a show? D.B.: We load in a lot of equipment, costumes, wigs and so forth, and we do sound check in the afternoon generally, and all this takes a number of hours. It’s a lengthy day. It’s sort of a 24-houra-day job, because when you’re at home you’re booking flights, you’re arranging for hotels, band rentals, booking shows, whatever. F.A.: What was David Bowie’s reaction to your tribute of his music? D.B.: Mr. Bowie, as I call him, was very supportive from almost the beginning. His official site started posting articles about our tribute show, and they sought us out, started asking questions, asked for photos, and they started supporting us, basically. By the time I did the commercial, and afterwards, he would post on his twitter page. He was great. He was very generous. F.A.: Since his death, what’s it like for you to see the reaction of Bowie fans to your performances? D.B.: It’s sort of a healing process. Since the loss of a great talent, I think a community comes together and sings songs together … and celebrates the music together and also goes through the healing process together. They appreciate the fact that although we are not him, we certainly make every human effort possible to recreate what he did as faithfully and respectfully as can be done. F.A.: What do you hope fans take away from your performance? D.B.: I hope they can enter into the sense of community and enjoy the great artistry, you know, that Bowie and his musicians left. His music, his legacy, in a world of disposable music, will last. Reasons You May Need Life Insurance When You Retire By Arif M. Halaby, CEP Contributor T here are many reasons to cancel life insurance after the last child graduates college and starts his or her life without your everyday financial care. After all, the main reason for most families to have life insurance is to cover the period of time between raising kids and being self-insured. However, what about keeping or modifying the policy you have? Is there a reason to do that? Here are a few reasons you may want to keep that old policy or even start a new one. Many grandparents are becoming guardians of their grandchildren, or even other relatives. The reason this seems to be a trend is because grandparents are the ones with the money and the time. Many times, the current economic conditions have put people out of work and needing family support. That can include a one-time loan all the way to the move-in ready roommate/babysitter. If a senior citizen dies while there are still those counting on them financially, it can be devastating. Life insurance can fill that gap. Another reason that life insurance should be considered when you are retired is the age old parental feeling of guilt. It is not what you think. I have met thousands of clients over the years and they all seem to share one sentiment about the way they spend money over their retirement years. They want to make sure there is money left over so they can leave some for their children or grandchildren. I want you to be able to spend the money that you have earned over your lifetime on the enjoyments you like, and not to die with a bunch of money left to your children or grandchildren. I have found that many of my clients have an overwhelming desire to leave money and property to their children and to leave them better off than they were at a similar age. Life insurance can be left to your beneficiaries, tax free, and allow you to have a guilt-free retirement spending spree. The third, and maybe the most important reason to have life insurance in retirement, is that existing or new policies may have “living benefits.” That means that you can pull out some or all of the death benefit while you are still alive. You may use those funds if you need long-term care services, nursing home care, or even certain other medical care. This is a feature that can give you as much as 2 percent of the face amount or more, each month, for many years to come. If this is an existing policy, then there is no new medical exam required. Life insurance has always had many uses during our working and retirement years. Keep in mind that we are living longer and may need money for living or medical expenses for much longer than we had originally planned. With the economy not turning around anytime soon, your list of dependents may be growing through retirement, not shrinking. - Arif M.

After finishing last season with a record of 2-8 and only one CIF Foothill League win, the players and coaches alike are focused on what they can do to improve. As it pertains to replicating Taylor’s production, Coach Gutierrez knows that the running backs he has on his roster are up to the task and that Arellano, who has three years of varsity experience and was second in touchdowns, with seven, is more than capable of leading them. “I think the most improvement that has come up is that of chemistry,” Richard Gutierrez, Canyon High School’s head coach, said. “The kids out here are fun and enjoy what they’re doing.” The transition period the running backs, linebackers, and many other positions find themselves in is aided by the stability of Canyon’s quarterback situation, where senior Miles Fallin, who threw for 10 touchdowns to only four interceptions last year, assumes the starting role he has held since his sophomore season, when he was named The Signal’s Newcomer of the Year for 2014-2015. Despite the accolades and hype, Fallin is able to keep the noise out and focus on the season at hand. Building team chemistry is an important factor as the Cowboys look to move past the disappointment of last season. Leaders like senior linebacker Cole Manclow are aware that if the Cowboys are to succeed, they must have a team-first mentality and be motivated to play week-in and week-out. “I can be more of a team player and pump up the younger kids coming up,” Manclow said, in reference to areas in which he has experienced improvement. “You’ve got to come out and motivate everyone on the team and give 100 percent.” The sentiment of supporting one another can be found in every facet of the team, especially in the running back position, where multiple players get to play and all have a chance to shine. Senior running back Henry Arellano believes there is nothing but camaraderie within the group. “When you work with players in the same position, it makes you a lot closer,” Arellano said. “We all love each other, and it pushes us all to be better because we’re all so good.” Chemistry is a solid foundation for a successful team, but is not the only factor that comes into play when trying to win games. The Cowboys look to duplicate the same production of two pivotal players who graduated at the end of last school year: running back Markeill Taylor, whose 959 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns led Canyon in those categories; and linebacker Travis Clarke, who led the team in tackles with 146. Manclow, whose 45 tackles in the 2015-2016 season were second most for the Cowboys, embraces the fact that he will be one of the players expected to step into Clarke’s role. “You complement speed and strength in the backfield, and I envision the running backs’ sharing a lot of reps.” Gutierrez said. “I feel blessed to have Henry; it’s nice to have his experience in the backfield.” “Coming into my senior season, I’m looking forward to making a lot of improvements and being a better leader,” Fallin said. “I wasn’t worried about stats last year or my sophomore year, that’s not what’s important. I’m just focused on getting this team ready to win this year.” The Cowboys begin their season against the Palmdale Falcons, who went 11-1 last season, on August 19 at Palmdale High School, and will begin CIF Foothill League games on October 7, when they face the West Ranch Wildcats. Regardless of Canyon’s opponent, the Cowboys’ main goal is to make sure the team is playing its own brand of football. “I’m just trying to prepare us and make sure we’re strong,” Gutierrez said. “Going in to every game, you try to prepare the mental toughness that is needed to play every single game. I’m just trying to put our kids in a position to be successful.” Because teams differ from season to season, Manclow believes that it’s unwise to focus on an opponent’s past achievements and that Cowboys will be able to win any matchup if they go into the game ready to play. The Cowboys may find it difficult to put their disappointing 2-8 season behind them, but Fallin knows that doing so will be a team effort. “It’s not on any one player or any one coach; it’s a collective effort that we’ve all made a priority in our lives,” Fallin said, with regard to improving on last year’s record. “I don’t feel pressure to win games, because the whole team feels that pressure. I really do feel like all of our guys are pushing and want to win as much as I do.” “Of course, it’s my responsibility to pick up Clarke’s production, being a runner-up behind him,” Manclow said. “It’s a team effort, though. Everyone has to have the same heart going into a game and be aggressive to get more tackles.” Santa Clarita Blue Heat Semi-Professional Soccer Team Wins Championship A unique Chiropractic Practice!

By Pam Ripling Contributor F ounded in 2004 by Colleen Shaffer, Circle of Hope, Inc. was created to serve the financial, emotional and educational needs of those diagnosed with breast cancer in the Santa Clarita Valley. A breast cancer survivor herself, Shaffer saw a need to support uninsured and underinsured individuals facing the fight of their lives. The organization’s slogan, “Making a Difference Today, for a Brighter Future Tomorrow,” alludes to the belief that relieving cancer patients of the stress associated with unpaid medical bills can actually promote healing. “How can you begin to heal while worrying about your debts?” asks Circle of Hope’s President and Director of Operations Pam Ripling. The non-profit also provides a weekly support group open to all touched by cancer and other debilitating diseases, including those currently in treatment, in recovery, caregivers and family members. In 2014, the Circle of Hope Board of Directors voted to expand their reach to include those afflicted with ovarian, cervical, uterine, colon, testicular and prostate cancers. “In addition to paying for chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and medications, we also cover second opinions and reimburse for health insurance premiums and COBRA coverage,” says Jill Bondy, past president and director of client services. hosts two yearly signature events and is the beneficiary of other events within the community held on their behalf. In October, Circle of Hope celebrates the “Thirty-One Days of Hope,” wherein the organization endeavors to participate in at least 31 breast cancer awareness activities within the month. Topping the campaign is the Afternoon Tea, set for October 8, 2016, to be held at Robinson Ranch Golf Club. On August 13, 2016, Circle of Hope will be hosting their 6th Annual Vine 2 Wine fundraising and awareness event, presented by Logix Federal Credit Union. This event features a sampling of fabulous wines, craft beers, and food all donated by local wineries, breweries and restaurants, and will include a silent auction and opportunity drawing. This year’s event will be held at the California Institute of the Arts in Santa Clarita. Organizers anticipate approximately 400 guests at the event, who will also enjoy an art show, casino games, a photo booth and the rockin’ sounds of the Lance Allyn Band. Tickets for this event are available online at the presale price of $75, or $95 at the door. Visit http://circleofhopeinc.org/vine2wine or call 661-254-5218. As always, 100 percent of the proceeds remain in the Santa Clarita Valley. Visit http://www.circleofhopeinc.org.

Circle of Hope raises much-needed funds through public and corporate donations. It receives no financial support from any governmental agency. In addition, the charity www.gerardcosmetics.com www.whiteninglightning.com Hero of the Week By Pam Ripling Contributor C Taylor Kellstrom ircle of Hope would like to very publicly thank Taylor Kellstrom, our Hero of the Week. When 23-year-old Taylor Kellstrom was nominated for Man of the Year in 2013, Ray Tippet, who was then executive director of Circle of Hope, chose Taylor out of the lineup as a young man who had great potential. So, he immediately recruited him for the non-profit’s board of directors. He was the youngest member to date. On that day, the Circle of Hope watched in awe, as Taylor hit the ground running and never looked back. Taylor Kellstrom was born and raised in Santa Clarita and currently resides there. He is a graduate of both West Ranch High School and College of the Canyons. At age 14, Taylor became a professional motocross racer, but was forced into early retirement at the age of 19 due to a career ending injury. While recovering, Taylor had an idea and along with his father, opened an off-campus college textbook store that offers books to cash-strapped students at competitive prices. Being a young entrepreneur wasn’t enough for Kellstrom, however. Taylor has also thrown himself not only into growing his business for the last seven years, but into his philanthropy work as well. He’s since been nominated three more times for Santa Clarita’s Man of the Year, and has created his own yearly charity event called “Bowling for Kids,” where 100 percent of the proceeds benefit the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. “Bowling for Hope” soon followed, benefitting Circle of Hope. He participated in SCV’s “Dancing with our Stars” for the hospital, and brought professional motocross racers to CHLA to visit with sick children the past two years. He joined the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Santa Clarita in 2013, and won their 40 under 40 award that year. Hopeful for the future, Kellstrom says, “I have accomplished a lot in my young life, but there is so much more that I want to do! I want to continue to grow as a person, as a business owner, and to grow the bookstore business.” However, self-promotion isn’t what Taylor strives for; for him, the true reward is giving back. “I have been so blessed and I want to give back to the community.” At only 26, Taylor is often asked where his love of philanthropy comes from. He will explain that “it all reverts back to the accident I had as a child, which found me airlifted to CHLA. Seeing the hospital staff work so diligently to save my life is what I believe taught me to want to give back.” Eager to use his leadership skills to help Circle of Hope broaden its reach, Taylor has recently moved into the role of vice president/president elect. When the non-profit needed a new chair for its signature event, Vine2Wine, Taylor stepped up to manage the organization’s biggest yearly effort to raise money for cancer patients. He plans to use the experience to put on additional events in the future, and to share his knowledge with others. One of Taylor’s passions is working with young philanthropists and entrepreneurs like himself by offering workshops and speaking engagements to help kids from 14 to 25 to nurture and grow their dreams. Kellstrom says, “It doesn’t matter how old you are – all you need is a dream, a good work ethic, and a drive – a drive to succeed!” It is that drive and passion that makes Taylor Kellstrom Circle of Hope’s Hero of the Week.

An estimated 2,500 students and their parents will be able to visit with representatives in an exhibit-style format at the event, held at Golden Valley High School on Thursday, September 22, 2016. It is an opportunity for those in attendance to ask questions about admissions, campus life and financial aid. The fair is part of a larger fair administered by a division of The Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU). The Hart District event is in collaboration with a daytime event held at College of the Canyons for transfer students. Unlike the COC fair, the Hart District event includes many out-of-state colleges and universities, as well as career schools and apprenticeship representatives. “We understand that not all of our high school graduates will attend a two-year or four-year college, but they will need postsecondary training if they are to advance to a good paying, promising career,” said Janis Fiock, the Hart School District’s college & career advisor and fair coordinator. “Our fair is designed to provide students with the information they need to make the right college and career choices.” The tremendous turnout of students and their families at the fair reinforces the mission of the Hart School District’s Career Development Department, which is to provide programs and services that prepare students to be college and career ready. The fair is promoted to more than 10,000 juniors and seniors and their families. Sponsors of the event are The Signal Multimedia, The Magazine of Santa Clarita, KHTS, and SCVTV.

Hart Union School District is guaranteeing that a retrofitting project on some of the campuses will pay for itself in a few years. Alliance Building Solutions (ABS) is upgrading to energy-saving lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), and advanced battery storage at the following junior and senior high schools: Arroyo Seco, Rancho Pico, Rio Norte, Sierra Vista, Bowman, Canyon, Valencia, and the Admin Center and the Maintenance & Operations building. ABS is guaranteeing the district will realize greater cost savings than what is being paid for the retrofit. “The Hart District is always looking for ways to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies for the long term,” said Governing Board member Steve Sturgeon. “Prop 39 is the catalyst to make this happen with respect to energy saving components across the District schools. All projections indicate long-term savings with the retrofit of current state-of-the-art technologies for our aging equipment.” The advanced battery storage has a converter that will sense when a school’s energy usage nears peak load and will automatically reduce electrical consumption. This will keep the usage down at a lower rate range with Edison. “Prop. 39 provides state money that is being used for this project,” said Carle Manley, director of maintenance & operations for the Hart School District. “Over the next few years we will see that money coming back to the district in savings.” unteers will assist as timers for the event. Shifts will run from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Interested volunteers can also sign up for the Youth Sports & Healthy Families Festival to help kids and families enjoy a day of healthy sports, activities, booths and more.

Some of those laws are pretty obvious, such as it’s illegal to steal, to physically harm other people, to lie to the police, etc. But, did you know that it’s also illegal to mislabel food? Under California Health and Safety Code 114087 HS, it’s a crime for owners or operators of restaurants or other stores that sell food to mislabel a product. Sometimes referred to as California’s “honest presentation of food” law or “truth in menu” law, 114087 HS is designed to protect consumers from fraud. The legal definition of California’s mislabeling food law is for a retail establishment that presents food for human consumption in a way that misleads or misinforms consumers. According to the law, the action must be intentional or have happened due to criminal negligence. For example, Fred owns a steak restaurant that has an item on its menu that contains Kobe beef, a rare and expensive type of meat that comes from specific strain of Wagyu cattle raised in Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture. However, Fred knows that the actual recipe contains no Kobe beef, he just put it in the description to charge a higher price for an inferior product. Fred could be charged with violating 114087 HS because he is intentionally misleading customers with the description. Keep in mind that in order to be charged with mislabeling food, the individual under scrutiny must have knowingly done so. As another example, we’ll use Fred’s steak house again. Fred has the same item on his menu that includes Kobe beef, but this time Fred isn’t knowingly mislabeling the food. A crooked supplier is selling Fred a fraudulent product and attempting to pass it off as Kobe beef. Fred, not knowing any better, labels it as such on his menu. In this case, Fred would not be charged with mislabeling food, because he wasn’t attempting to mislead anyone. The statute 114087 HS also makes it a crime to add any food color, additives, Colored wraps, lights or other external means to misrepresent the actual appearance, color or quality of the food they sell. In the State of California, violations of 114087 HS are misdemeanor offenses. The potential penalties include misdemeanor probation, up to six months in jail and at least a $25 fine, though the maximum fine is $1,000. While the criminal penalties are more or less par for the course when it comes to misdemeanor offenses, the possible penalties to one’s reputation can be severe. Nobody wants to be misled, especially with what they’re putting in their bodies. When a restaurant or other establishment gets caught mislabeling food, the damage it does to their business can be hard to come back from.

The WSC Supremacy Award standings are tabulated via a points-based system, with teams scored throughout the year based on their conference ranking and post-season performance. Data from student-athlete GPAs across the department are also factored into the final scores before an award winner is named. COC student-athletes posted a combined GPA of 2.94 in the fall semester and 2.95 in the spring. COC finished second overall in total points scored, but led the conference with a 7.19 average across 15 WSCsponsored sports. Women’s sports tallied 62 points overall, while men’s programs earned 43 points. The mark of 7.19 points per sport is the highest single season average for an athletic department since the switch to an average point system beginning with the 2012-13 seasons. Ranking second was Ventura College, at an average of 6.44 points per sport. Los Angeles Valley College rounded out the top three, finishing with an average of 5.78 points per team. “Winning the WSC Supremacy Award caps off a tremendously successful year for our athletic department,” said College of the Canyons Chancellor Dr. Dianne Van Hook. “Once again, our dedicated team of coaches and support staff have led the way in ensuring that our sports programs reflect the ideals we hold so dearly at College of the Canyons, while continually striving to be the very best in all that we endeavor.” The Cougars won six conference championships last year, with women’s volleyball, women’s soccer, women’s basketball, softball, men’s cross country and men’s golf all bringing home WSC championships. “By excelling both in the classroom and on the field, our student-athletes have demonstrated what can be accomplished with the right combination of hard work, focus and determination,” Van Hook said. “I offer my congratulations to each and every one of them.” The men’s golf team also went on to win a California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) Southern California Regional Title before finishing as runner-up at the state championships. Freshman golfer Ben Campbell also won the individual state championship. The men’s cross country team finished third at the CCCAA State Championships, with sophomore Ethan Walker winning the individual state championship. Additionally, the women’s volleyball program concluded its season with a third place finish at the CCCAA State Championship tournament. Canyons also had three second place conference finishes, with the women’s cross country and both the women’s and men’s track & field teams falling just short of WSC titles. The women’s cross country team was also a third place finisher at the state championships. “Winning the WSC Supremacy Award for a third straight year signifies another monumental moment in the proud history of the COC Athletics Department,” said Chuck Lyon, COC interim dean of Physical Education, Kinesiology, Athletics & athletic director. “This title is not the result of any singular athletic accomplishment, but is instead the combined outcome of an entire department’s dedication and commitment to excellence.” The COC Athletics Department also brought home 11 individual conference titles, four individual CCCAA Southern California Championships, three individual CCCAA State Championships, seven WSC Player of the Year Awards, six WSC Coach of the Year awards, and the CCCAA/CCCSIA Female Athlete of the Year award winner in sophomore dual-sport soccer/track & field student-athlete Marissa Kneisel.

The City’s annual drug awareness event will include a panel of three youths, an interactive impairment goggle experience and a resource fair for parents, teens and members of the community. “The Heroin Kills symposiums are direct and honest, but rightfully so, as drug abuse is a serious topic that needs to be addressed from all angles full force,” said Mayor Bob Kellar. “We remain committed to educating our youth about the dangers of drug use.” The resource fair prior to the symposium begins at 6 p.m., where attendees can participate in an interactive demonstration with impairment goggles. These goggles simulate the difficulties of performing simple tasks while under the influence. The Cougars also boasted 15 AllAmericans, 11 All-State team honorees, seven All-Region selections and more than 90 All-WSC selections. “From the hard work of our studentathletes, coaches, trainers, equipment personnel, athletic counseling, TLC staff and athletic administrative staff, to the tremendous support from the college’s board of trustees members — who can frequently be seen at games and contests — administration, faculty and staff, as well as the backing we receive from this community, COC Athletics is truly a team effort,” Lyon said. Aug 12 - Aug 18, 2016 Beginning at 6:30 p.m., three youths will share vulnerable stories about their experience with drugs. Not only did drug use affect the lives of these three youths, but also the lives of those around them. Michelle Krantz, principal of La Mesa Junior High, and Cary Quashen from Action Family Counseling will also participate in the discussion. Residents are encouraged to attend the program in order to learn all they can about drug use, signs of drug use, and the effects drugs have on the lives of users and those around them. Learn what can be done as a parent, friend, partner or concerned resident. The Teens Talk Drugs symposium is the sixth in the city’s “Heroin Kills” series and is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the City’s Arts and Events Office at (661) 250-3708.

Hart added to the Western mystique when he built his hilltop home here. Others following suit included Country-Western singer Tex Williams, who opened his own road house on old San Fernando Road, singing cowboy Gene Autry, who opened a movie ranch in Placerita Canyon, and rodeo star Hoot Gibson, who sponsored his own rodeo in Saugus. (Gibson’s rodeo site on Soledad Canyon Road became known as the Saugus Speedway when high octane-powered horseless carriages replaced their four-legged counterparts.) The Newhall-Saugus-Valencia Chamber of Commerce embellished that Western identity even further in 1981 when it created The Western Walk of Fame on the sidewalks of Main Street. Spearheaded by Jo Anne Darcy, Judy Martin, and Mr. Downtown Newhall, Milt Diamond, the committee chose William S. Hart, Tom Mix and Gene Autry as its first honorees. Since those first days, the Chamber and the walk have undergone name changes, but the idea behind the monikers has remained the same – the Santa Clarita Valley Western Walk of Stars honors Western film, stage, television, radio personalities, and real-life cowboys who have lived and/or performed in the Santa Clarita Valley. One of those real-life cowboys, former Placerita Canyon resident Andy Juaregui, received his bronze plaque in 1983. Four years before that momentous occasion, Andy and his wife Camille, whose birthdays fell within one day of each other, were honored with a special party hosted by daughters Noureen Baer, Andreena Rust, and Joann Stuart. Over 50 relatives, friends, and a few lucky journalists gathered at the Jaureguis’ ranch for a potluck feast and an afternoon of reminiscing, which included a love story that had begun 58 years earlier. Camille and Andy laughed as they each recalled their budding romance. He was 17 and she was 16 when the couple exchanged glances at a fair in Ventura. Watching her as she stood in line for a Ferris wheel ride, Andrew decided that she was about the best looking girl he’d ever seen. Camille remembered being captivated by the talented young rodeo star’s irresistible grin and the twinkle in his eye. They admired each other from a distance until they formally met at a dance three years later. It didn’t take long for the mutual admiration to blossom into love, and within a year, they were married at St. Sebastian’s Church in Santa Paula. The Jaureguis settled in Placerita Canyon in 1928. The couple successfully combined Andy’s colorful career as a rodeo star, Hollywood stunt man, stock contractor, and rodeo director with a somewhat quieter life at home raising four daughters. More often than not, family activities revolved around rodeos, famous Hollywood acquaintances, and fellow rodeo stars until Andy sold his J Spear Rodeo Company in 1967. At his official retirement a few years later, he was awarded the Robert Paxton McCulloch Trophy for 50 years of outstanding contributions as a rodeo contestant, stock contractor, and arena director. The McCulloch sculpture was surrounded by many other trophies and honors on the Jauregui mantle, including the 1938 Cheyenne, Wyoming Calf Roping Championship, the 1931 World Steer Roping Championship, and the Team Roping Championship in 1934. A championship saddle that Andy won in 1941 is now in the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Phoenix, Arizona. The reminiscing and feasting continued until it was time for the Juareguis’ traditional “after dinner hike” in the countryside surrounding the ranch. When the group finally tramped back to the house, large sheet cakes were brought out and the birthday celebration was back in full swing, accompanied by an outdoor chorus of serenading bullfrogs and chirping crickets. It was clear that the former rodeo star was just as happy sitting on his outdoor patio bouncing a grandchild on his knee as he had once been bouncing around on a bucking horse in an arena of cheering fans. Besides Newhall’s Western Walk of Stars, Juaregui was honored at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City in 1979 and, later, at the Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame in 1983. Santa Clarita’s real-life cowboy died in 1990, but his legend lives on in the minds and hearts of his surviving family members and friends – and one journalist who was lucky enough to share the warm camaraderie of a memorable Sunday afternoon in 1979. BRIDGE BITES from The American Contract Bridge League CONJURING TRICK Against 4♥ West led the ♣K, won by Dummy’s Ace. A trump was lost to West’s Ace, then West cashed two Clubs and exited safely with a Diamond. At this point Declarer could count nine top tricks. Do you see how she might conjure up a tenth? ♠ Q2 ♥ QJT6 ♦ A432 ♣ A62 ♠ J98 ♠ K76543 North ♥A ♥ 852 ♦ T987 West ♣ KQT87 By: Brian Gunnell East ♦ J6 ♣ J9 Declarer Before Declarer commences any conjuring it will occur to her that West has shown up with ♥A and the ♣KQ, and that if he also held the ♠K he would no doubt have been heard from in the bidding. So, East has the ♠K. to break 3-3. What if one defender has four (or more) Diamonds and the day with a squeeze? Not if it is East who holds the vital cards, because he will be discarding last and will pitch whatever suit Dummy pitches. So that squeeze won’t work. And we know that West cannot hold the ♠K so clearly the squeeze won’t work against him. ♠ AT ♥ K9743 ♦ KQ5 ♣ 543 E-W Vulnerable South West North East 1♥ Pass 4♥? All Pass North took the direct route to game, but there are better ways to bid that hand. Most tournament players use 1♥-4♥ as a preempt (5+ Hearts and a weak hand) and use a conventional 2NT bid for the actual North hand, thereby giving N-S the opportunity to investigate slam if appropriate (which in this case it is not!) Does that mean that we are back to relying on 3-3 Diamonds? Actually, no! Declarer has a clever resource available. She leads the ♠Q from Dummy, East must cover, and Declarer’s Ace wins the trick. Now the all-important Spade card is the Jack and there is room in West’s hand for that. So, Declarer now runs the Hearts, hoping that Diamonds are 3-3 or that West is squeezed in Spades and Diamonds. 10 tricks in exotic fashion (that play is known as a Transfer Squeeze, so named because it transfers the Spade guard from one defender to the other).

Here’s what happened in local history on this week in history… IN EONS GONE BY … • Just 162 years ago yesterday, Fort Tejon was founded. “Tejon” stands for “badger” in Spanish. Polish, too, I believe. The outpost was created because the bandit problem was so bad, even heavily armed bands of grown men were at risk from marauding bands of Indians and robbers. • Speaking of bad people, get out your party hats. One of the SCV’s most infamous brigands, Tiburcio Vasquez, was born on August 11, 1835. His house still sits in Monterey as a state historic building. For you astrology followers, the womanizing bandito was a Leo (center of attention and dominant, they hate being ignored and want to lead, as opposed to follow). Vasquez was the subject of the biggest manhunt in California history. • Abe Lincoln was such a wit (I wonder how “Honest” Abe would fare in a debate with Hillary?). Our own Edward Fitzgerald Beale was nominated as America’s Surveyor General. Lincoln refused to ratify the pick and commented on the complicated figure’s good deeds and ability to acquire assets. Lincoln refused to appoint Beale because, quote the president: he “…tends to become master of all he surveys.” On August 8, 1855, Beale purchased the huge Rancho La Liebre just north of here for a few pennies an acre. • August 12, 1871, the Elizabeth Lake School District was formed. • August 12, 1876, the first train roared through the brand new Newhall Train Tunnel — one of the longest in the world. 90 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1926 ... • Poor Deputy Constable Sanderson. The lawman was sporting a huge black eye after arresting two hillbilly whiskey makers in the hills above Saugus. Sanderson caught the brothers with two gallons of illegal whiskey each. After peacefully accompanying the lawman, one turned suddenly and popped Sanderson in the eye. Sanderson then sort of pistolwhipped the pair of them into the emergency ward of Newhall Community Hospital. Ah. The good old days… • H.R. Rush, Los Angeles was in town, shopping. On his list? Snakes. He posted notes on telephone poles, fence posts and in the local paper, promising to pay top dollar for all kinds of snakes. I guess H.R. just didn’t have enough… 80 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1936 ... • It wasn’t that Newhall Land was sick and tired of bozo hunters, per se, wandering onto their property. The problem was that the bozo hunters would shoot everything from water tanks to mules. Newhall Land hired special armed cowhands, just like in the old Westerns, to hunt, catch and prosecute trespassers and hunters. • I LOVE this story. The local SCV women’s softball team was scheduled to play a team of similar gendered individuals from the San Fernando Valley. What showed up was a caravan of husky looking “ladies” in ill-fitting wigs. It was a heck of a prank that ended in a double sour note. The SFV “Milk Boys” were sponsored by Adohr Dairy. While the game was played in great fun, the Milk Boys trounced the locals, 17-5. Worse, a rocket line drive knocked out Newhall’s pitcher, Mrs. Burk. 70 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1946 ... • Where North Oaks and beyond sits today used to be the great spread of the 6S Ranch. It stands for the 6 Schmidts. Seventy years back, the California Aviation Association gave the Honby family the go-ahead mucks and Newhall Land stopped him. A HALF CENTURY AGO THIS WEEK, 1966 ... • Cripes and boy howdy, ranching can be dangerous. I’ve met a lot of old-time cowboys with missing thumbs (they forget to hold their thumbs in the air while wrapping a rope around a saddle horn with a big, angry steer on the other end. Pop! There goes the thumb.) Ernie Hassett somehow managed to get his entire hand wedged between the ball and cup of his livestock trailer. Fortunately, a CHP officer happened to be driving by, when he spotted Ernie’s horse tied to a telephone pole. The CHiPster spotted Hassett forlornly sitting on the ground, shaking his head. Hassett was taken to the hospital with severe hand injuries. • Speaking of, the California Highway Patrol beefed up its force. Some 1,000 new officers would be added. Half of them came with a brand new weapon: the 12-guage shotgun. Buying 3,240 weapons cost the state $178,200. Don’t run to the calculators. That works out to $55 per. Strange. While the CHP was beefing up their force, the county Sheriff ’s Department was having trouble filling hundreds of vacancies. 40 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, 1976 ... • Locals held their final feasibility study about turning the SCV into its own county.
