Not the City’s Fault
By Lee Barnathan
Contributor
So, you want to open a business in Santa Clarita? Get
ready for a long process full of bureaucratic delays, unexpected developments, and a great deal of frustration.
But it probably won’t be the City’s fault.
Sam Gardian, restaurateur and shareholder in the Southern Smoke BBQ & Brewhouse in Old Town Newhall,
knows of this. When he tried to get the eatery opened in
2015, he suffered though long delays with the gas
company, and he was shocked that he had to pay $26,370
in infrastructure fees.
The gas company has nothing to do with the City. Neither
do the infrastructure fees. According to City
Planning/Marketing/Economic Development Manager
Jason Crawford, the City of Santa Clarita does not charge
such a fee.
Martha Aguilera, owner of Kokolita Cakes in Newhall,
decided to open her business on Newhall Ranch Road in
2011.

Permits
She is operating successfully on Lyons Avenue
now, but suffered through problems with the
health department, which wanted to charge
$1,300 ($1 per square foot) to check the building plans, triple that if she wanted the inspection
expedited.
But that wasn’t all. An inspection found that
some construction work was done on the site
without a permit. She had to pay to get the kitchen brought back to code. Total unexpected costs:
between $10,000 and $15,000.
The health department in question is the Los
Angeles County Department of County Health.
And the unpermitted construction? Not the
City’s fault.
How about the guy who hired an attorney to
complete the minor use permit application, then
had to deal with that attorney going through a
collection agency? Not the City’s fault.
That isn’t to say the City is blissfully ignorant
and thinks everything is smooth sailing. To the
contrary, Crawford said. The City puts out a 50page booklet, “Guide to Opening a Small Business in the City of Santa Clarita,” in which it
lists and explains the six steps to open a business,
as well as information about the planning and
building and safety divisions, a checklist, some
sample scenarios, how to do business with the
City, lists of agency contacts and definitions.
“Maybe they’re an expert in that business, but
they don’t have the experience to go through the
permit process,” Crawford said.
City Council members also step in and assist
when they can. Then-Councilmember Bob Kellar cleared the path for attorney Dan Mortensen
to get his certificate of occupancy, and Councilmember TimBen Boydston said when he heard
about Gardian’s problems, he contacted the gas
company to try and hurry things along.
“Mostly the feedback I get from people that
come to me, it’s usually not the City’s fault,”
Boydston said.
Indeed, the vast majority of issues people come
up against are because of state law. That holds
true for one person who needed a secondhand
business permit, but he couldn’t understand why
he was required to get one and his friends with
similar stores didn’t. Such a permit is a state requirement, and Crawford said a person can obtain one through the Los Angeles County Business License office.
Mayor Bob Kellar is aware of the frustration the
state can cause. He pointed to the new $30 million Newhall library; because the state requires
it to be a public building, a sizeable homeless
population has taken root on the second floor.
“It’s an issue for me. We have to follow state law,
and sometimes we have too much government
coming out of Sacramento,” Kellar said. “How
about letting cities make some decisions? One
size does not fit all.”
Late-Night Newhall Crash
Leaves Two Dead, One In
Critical Condition
Two men were killed and
another left in critical condition just before 1 a.m.
Tuesday after the vehicle
they were traveling in struck
a power pole in Newhall,
authorities said.
The driver and front passenger were pronounced dead
at the scene of the single-vehicle crash, which occurred
at 12:50 a.m. on the 23200
block of Sierra Highway,
according to Santa Clarita
Valley Sheriff ’s Station officials.
One of the victims was
identified as Noah David
Murphy, 24, said Ed Winters of the Los Angeles
County Coroner’s office.
The second victim’s identity
was not being released Tuesday afternoon pending next
of kin notification.
A third man, a rear passenger, was transported by Los
Angeles County Fire Department officials to Henry
Mayo Newhall Hospital in
critical condition, said Art
Marrujo, LACoFD dispatch supervisor.
Northbound lanes of Sierra
Highway were closed following the crash on Tuesday, while southbound lanes
remained open to traffic.
All lanes were re-opened by
approximately 4:30 a.m.,
said Sgt Myers of the SCV
Sheriff ’s Station.
The collision remains under
investigation. No additional
information is available at
this time.

Correction: In last week’s Gazette, in an article entitled
“Businessman Recounts Battle Over Permitting,” it was
stated that Dan Mortensen spoke to City Manager Ken
Striplin. Mortensen actually spoke to then-City Manager

College of the Canyons Speech Team Ranked
No. 1 at Phi Rho Pi National Tournament
F
or the first time in the program’s
12-year history, the College of the
Canyons Speech Team has been ranked
No. 1 at the annual Phi Rho Pi National Tournament, after bringing home a
combined 14 medals to put a cap on its
most successful season to date.
COC finished the event No. 1 in the
competition’s intermediate Wheeler division by scoring more than 20 points
higher than its closest competitor.
Along the way, COC claimed three
gold medals, three silver medals and
eight bronze medals.

events are split into Public Address,
which includes persuasive and informative speaking; Interpretation, where
competitors interpret selections of

tered in between 15 to 30 slots, and the
Wyman Division schools were entered
in more than 30 slots.
COC, which entered in 29 categories,
ranked first in the Wheeler Division for
individual events and overall points,
finishing with a score of 87.5.
Under Leach’s direction, the COC
This year’s event, entitled “Going
Coastal,” was held in Costa Mesa, with
more than 60 colleges from across the
nation competing in the five-day tournament.
There are 11 individual events encompassing three types of debate and a
category called “interpreter’s theatre.”
Events range from team debates to
“Before joining the speech team I had
made plenty of bad decisions and was
on the way to making plenty more,”
said first-year competitor Diego Ortega, who brought home a gold medal
in the Informative Speaking category.
“This team saved my life. But I see us
as more than a team, we’re a family.”
“When I first joined this team, I knew
that I would definitely improve as a
performer,” said first-year competitor
Jacob Johnson, who won gold in the
Prose Interpretation event. “What I did
not know is that I would become a better student, networker, and corporate
asset. Being on the speech team has
taught me lessons that I will be able utilize all throughout my life.”
“We keep on telling each other ‘we did
it’…because we’re still in shock,” said
COC Speech Team director and communications professor Michael Leach.
“Watching each team member support
each other and root for each other at
the awards ceremony will forever be
with me.”
Phi Rho Pi is the National Junior College Forensic Association and Honor
Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the forensic artshere meaning speech and debate-at the
junior and community college level.
The organization dates back to 1927,
and offers the only full-service speech
tournament at the national level in the
United States.
Others on the roster seemed to echo
that sentiment, while also noting the
personal gains competing on the team
has provided.
After days of live performances, participants were whittled down in every category, sometimes going as many as six
rounds before reaching the semifinals.
In the case of debate events, teams had
to be prepared to debate either side of
the chosen issue. For individual events,
students had to follow the guideline for
whatever type of speech they were presenting, be that informative, persuasive,
or simply to entertain.

Speech Team has appeared at the Phi
Rho Pi National Tournament multiple
times, but had yet to garner this level
of success. Prior to this season several
individual students had gained recognition at the national level, but had yet to
realize a team victory.
“I have never been so motivated to
better myself, not just in performing,
but with every aspect of my life,” said
second-year team member Teon Sewer
about his experience at the national
tourney. “The talent on this team is second to none, which makes me want to
improve even more. It’s not just a team,
it’s a family.”
“Auditioning for the speech team was
one of the best decisions I have ever
made,” said first-year competitor Valeria Lopez. “I’ve learned to be confident
in myself and gained skills that I otherwise wouldn’t have fostered.”
Earlier this semester, the COC Speech
team also placed second at the California Community College Forensics Association (CCCFA) State Tournament
after bringing home 11 individual medals.
“This season has been amazing,” said
Leach. “But what makes it that much
more rewarding is watching these competitors support their teammates.”

Sports Highlights
By Tim Haddock
Contributor
Baseball
The Valencia baseball team sits atop the Foothill League standings after a crucial
game against Saugus. The Saugus softball team sits atop the Foothill League
standings after riding a five-game winning streak. But there are a couple of surprises in the Foothill League. Let’s start with the rise of the Valencia baseball
team.
Danny Leuvano added a big two-run double in the third inning to give West Ranch a 4-0 lead over Hart.
Valencia has won three of its past four games, but none was as important as its
12-2 win over Saugus last week. It put Valencia in sole possession of first place
in the Foothill League standings, one game ahead of Saugus. The Valencia bats
exploded against Saugus. Both teams entered the game in a tie for first place with
6-2 records.
West Ranch will be put to the test this week though. The Wildcats play Saugus
twice in a series with playoff implications.
It was a tight game until the sixth inning. Valencia scored seven runs in the sixth
to pull away late in the game. Cody Minnis knocked in two runs in the inning. He
was 2-for-3 in the game with two RBIs.
Tyler Erne and Scott Ogrin also had two RBIs in the game. Erne was 1-for-3 and
Ogrin was 2-for-3.
Saugus beat Valencia, 4-3, to move into a tie for first place in the Foothill League
standings in the game prior. Valencia bounced back against the team it needed
to beat.
Valencia followed up with its win over Saugus by beating Esperanza, 5-1. But the
most impressive win for Saugus in its recent stretch came against Hart last week.
Valencia shut out Hart, 6-0, behind a gem by Chase Farrell. The outing highlighted how dominant Farrell has been against the Foothill League this season.
Timmy Josten pitched six innings and gave up one run on five hits. He struck out
eight and walked one.
Softball
The Saugus softball team has won five games in a row and is undefeated in the
Foothill League at 4-0. The Centurions’ winning streak started against Righetti,
7-2, in the Michelle Carew Classic. It continued with four straight wins to open
Foothill League play.
Saugus beat Golden Valley, 10-2; Valencia, 6-1; Hart, 11-7; and West Ranch, 5-1.
The win over West Ranch was surprising for a couple of reasons.
Saugus starter Mariah Lopez has emerged as the dominating force in the Foothill
League. She tossed a complete game, two-hitter against West Ranch. She struck
out 12 and walked none.
Lindsay Clare hit a grand slam in the second inning for Saugus. Ryleigh Bermea
was 2-for-3.
About the only highlight for West Ranch was a solo home run from Jessica Harper in the sixth inning.
Farrell tossed five shutout innings against Hart and gave up only three hits. Going a little deeper, Farrell extended his scoreless inning streak against Hart to
11 innings. He has given up only one run against the entire Foothill League this
season.
West Ranch is in a tailspin. The favorite to win the Foothill League, a contender
for the CIF Southern Section Division 1 championship, has lost four of its past
six games. The Wildcats have lost three Foothill League games. They were 48-2
in the Foothill League in their past four seasons.
Valencia jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Hart in the first inning. The Vikings
sent nine batters to the plate in the first inning. AJ Medina, Chris Mueller and
Jake Biscailuz each had RBIs in the inning.
In addition to losing to Saugus, West Ranch lost to Canyon, 5-1, in a Foothill
League game. But West Ranch’s troubles started in the Santiago High School
Spring Fling Tournament. West Ranch went 1-3 in the Spring Fling Tournament
and it appears to have rolled into a Foothill League slide.
Trace Eldridge provided the big blows for Valencia. He was 3-for-3 and drove in
two runs.
While Valencia and Saugus have been fighting for first place in the Foothill
League standings, West Ranch has quietly worked its way into the mix. West
Ranch has won nine games in a row and is in a tie for second place with Saugus
in the Foothill League standings.
West Ranch’s winning streak started in the Santa Ana Elks Tournament. West
Ranch won the tournament and went 5-0. The Wildcats beat Calvary Chapel,
7-5, in the championship game. They posted wins over Saddleback Christian,
Godinez, Warren and Tustin on its way to the tournament title.
West Ranch continued its winning streak against the Foothill League. West
Ranch shut out Golden Valley twice and downed Hart twice. In West Ranch’s
latest game against Hart, Jason Drees hit three home runs. All were solo shots.
His first came in the first inning to lead off the game. He added home runs in the
third and seventh innings.
West Ranch is in a tie for last place at 1-3 in the Foothill League. Saugus, meanwhile, is a game ahead of Valencia – in first place in the Foothill League standings. Saugus can perhaps find a little breathing room. The Centurions play Golden Valley and Canyon this week.
Golf
One final note, Golden Valley golfer Jonathan Kang won the Newhall Cup for
the third year in a row. The Newhall Cup is a two-day event held at the TPC at
Valencia.
Kang became only the second golfer to win three Newhall Cups.
West Ranch won the team portion of the Newhall Cup. The Wildcats shot 794 as
a team and won by 37 strokes over Hart.
Tim Haddock writes for ESPN and the Ventura County Star. Follow him on Twitter @
thaddock.
Drees is 9-for-15 in his past six games. He is the first player from West Ranch to
hit three home runs in a game since 2009.

OPINION
PINO (Patriot In
Name Only)
Lean to the Left
Technology & Creativity?
By Andrea Slominski
Contributor
ur world is a wash in contradiction.
We use and love technology, while
ignoring the environmental devastation
that occurs in order to manufacture it.
We use our cell phones to stay in touch
24/7, while being out of touch with the
suffering caused by the objects themselves. I count myself among the masses
that use a smart phone everyday, not
knowing or thinking about how it was
made … until recently.
O
The Motley Fool writes, “The iPhone
has become Apple’s most important
business by a large margin, and a global
business selling into smartphone markets all around the world. As of last
quarter, Apple has sold a cumulative
lifetime total of 821.8 million iPhones.”
What? That is a boatload of iPhones!
This number is even larger if you add
all the other smart phones from other
brands to the total. They are all made
with the same basic materials.
I happened to catch an article by the
Daily Mail last October that published
some in-depth coverage of mining operations in the Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC). These are the mines that
source a special ore called columbitetantalite, or coltan, used in all smart
phones and many other electronic devices. The product refined from it is crucial in the manufacture of mini circuit
boards that power our tech devices. It
is mined by hand with pick and shovel,
often by children, for slave wages. Workers earn from $3-$5 per day, for 12 hours
of back-breaking, mud-covering work.
This tiny corner of DRC is one of the
few places coltan is found on the planet.
The funds from the sale of this rare mineral have fueled the engines of war and
conflict for over 20 years, resulting in the
exploitation of natural resources, mining workers, villages, women and children, often conscripted into the mines,
some as young as 10 years old.
What can we do? What can you and
I do to change anything? The world is
very big and very complex and growing
more so each year. As the economies
of the world go global and overlap into
a one-world economy, things get even
more difficult to see clearly.
Actually, we can all do something to
make the world a better place; we can
do a lot of small things, each of us. One
snowball starts the avalanche.
You can purchase products like “Fairphone.” The product’s website notes,
“We’re working to create a new economy – one where social and environmental values become a natural part of
doing business. Together, we’re creating
momentum to design a better future.”
They are making smart phones from
conflict-free minerals, mined in DRC
to help the local economies. You can
email Apple or Samsung and demand
that they further investigate the sourcing
of their minerals and use only conflictfree supplies. This idea of personal responsibility extends into all aspects of
our lives. If we are going to live on this
planet and build a sustainable, humane
world economy, we are going to have to
make changes, all of us, from phones to
faucets.
Here in the SCV we have drought mandates – stick to them. And while you’re
at it, recycle everything that you can.
Buy fresh produce, in season, from your
local farmers’ market. There is less energy consumed in getting local produce
to you than produce shipped to the grocery chain from around the world. Consolidate your trips in the car, save gas
and reduce your carbon footprint. Better
yet, take public transportation when you
can, or walk, or ride a bike. Turn off all
lights and unplug all appliances when
not in use; reduce your electric bill and
your carbon footprint.
Go meatless one or two days a week.
Factory farming of animals is a huge
contributor CO2 emissions and runoff
pollution, as is factory agriculture. Did
you know that you can buy fresh eggs
right from the farm at the COC farmers’
market or on Vasquez Canyon Road?
It’s worth the trip, in taste alone.
Change can be hard, but it’s better to
start now than to get caught short later.
We have to be creative about our technology. Let’s create and support clean,
renewable technologies. Innovations
like solar power generating glass, or road
surfaces that are made of solar cells that
deliver power to neighborhoods, or magnetite used to clean oil spills and large,
floating ocean garbage collectors are a
few of the new ideas. They are creative,
technological and clean.
We can’t keep polluting our soil and water and expect to have healthy children.
Just ask the parents in Flint.

A
s reported in the Wall Street
Journal earlier this week, a recent Gallup poll found that 57 percent of Americans believed their
personal federal income tax bills are
too high. This would make sense,
in that nobody in their right mind
should enjoy paying taxes, until you
drill down a bit further.
And so the political term RINO
(Republican In Name Only) came
to mind, representing those politicians who run on the Republican
ticket and raise money through
the RNC and Republican banner,
but don’t actually espouse any of
the party values aside from raising
money.
One of the most glaring complications for this study is a simple fact
that the majority of Americans
don’t know, but should: only 55
percent of Americans actually pay
taxes.
I’ve seen the “don’t tread on me”
banner showing up all over the
place for the past few years, and
right along with the resurgence of
bacon, masculinity and beards, has
been the speed with which people
refer to themselves or their groups
as patriots. And just like most other
noms de jour, it seems to be used
quite frequently out of context.
This should serve to prove a few
things right off the bat: First, not
even the Democrats and Socialists who love passing legislation to
take money away from hardworking
Americans enjoy being bilked by
the government against their will to
pay for things they don’t agree with.
And second, no poll is perfect, and
quite often the samples don’t accurately reflect the greater population.
The idea behind the story reminded
me of an interview that I saw on
Bill Maher with the daughter of
Nancy Pelosi (I continued watching because I firmly believe in the
importance of “knowing your enemy”) where they were discussing
a documentary she had just finished
making.
The documentary covered politics
in this country, and in making it,
Pelosi (Jr) spoke to people on both
ends of the political spectrum. Anyway, by that I don’t just mean Republicans and Democrats, I mean
that she spoke with some of the
most fiercely conservative and liberal people on the fringes of both
parties that she could find.
What really popped out for me was
that she said many of the people she
spoke to who were the most fiercely
conservative and opposed to liberal
policies, like entitlements and welfare, were themselves recipients of
welfare and entitlements.
Should driving a truck automatically make you a patriot? Not really. How about voting republican?
Well, not if the person you voted
for doesn’t espouse patriotic values
(which much of the Republican
Party and its endorsed candidates
do not). Listening to country music,
flying a flag or going shooting a lot?
Not so much.
Wikipedia defines a patriot as
“someone who feels a strong support for
their country,” but I think it should
go further than that. Much like a
RINO, anybody can claim themselves a patriot if they think it benefits them, makes them look better,
helps them fit in with a crowd or feel
better about themselves.
But the true marker for a patriot, in
my mind, should be doing something to actually make the country
a better place.
So, the next time you hear someone
referring to themselves as a patriot,
I’d caution you to pause for a second and ask yourself what they’re
really doing to leave this country
better than they found it. Because
if they’re not working towards that
end goal, all they’re really doing is
making noise.
Letters to the Ranter
As an owner of an International collection agency in Santa Clarita, I find it
deplorable that a competitor would talk about chapter 13 bankruptcy filed by
another business to bad mouth them. The chapter was filed during the worst
depression this country has known since the 30s many many companies filed
Chapter sevens which meant they did not have to pay back there debt. The Gazette
did the honorable thing they are paying back all their creditors through the plan
he should be applauded and not demeaned he’s been making payments for three
years where the Signal Made it look like it was filed recently and they want to be
the white night and fix it and make it all right is absolutely unconscionable . I
have dealt with hundreds of bankruptcies through this downturn in our economy
and it is absolutely hurt my clients some who had to go out of business themselves
because they didn’t paid get due to their client’s chapter 7 bankruptcy. I honor
them because he has stayed in business serving the community in a Fair way and
of course is paying all their creditors as it’s the right thing to do.

Where I Stand
By Doug Sutton
Publisher
On April 23 The Signal published their “Where we
stand” column that is dubbed “Our View – The Signal
Editorial Board.” Very interesting piece, to say the
least. As usual, these opinion pieces came to their
readers nameless and faceless, so we are left wondering whose opinions this really is.
In a cordial meeting I had with the three owners
some weeks ago, I was told all of them contribute
to the “our view” columns. With that said, I have
to assume this one came from Chuck Champion,
Gary Sproule and Russ Briley. Chuck, I’m not
surprised if this came from you, because when we
met that day, you told me it would be “unfortunate”
if I continued with the Gazette’s effort to become
approved by the court as a “newspaper of record.” I
realize now what you meant by unfortunate. Gary,
I haven’t heard you say more than 10 words since
we met, so I’m not sure about you. Russ, I’m not
sure about you either, since the last time we were in
a room together at a recent Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors meeting, you didn’t have the guts
to look me in the eye. With all of that said, I will
refer to the presumed writers of the opinion piece as
“gentlemen.”
Gentlemen, the first part of your column read, in
part: “…new leadership has outlined it (sic) plans for The
Signal … money cannot be its sole driving force. … If at
the end of the day the choice comes down to making a difference or making a dollar, this team will choose the former
and sacrifice the latter.”
Reaction: It’s hard to believe this statement, when
you have apparently spent thousands of dollars
on legal fees fighting the Gazette in our effort to
become a newspaper of record, and now are attempting to force us out of business. Your motive is
obviously to make sure you do not lose a dollar of
legal notice revenue to The Gazette. This is hardly
“making a difference,” as stated above, but reeks of
fear of not making a dollar.”
The following is a quote from Chuck Champion in
SCV Business Journal:
“When we cover the news we can’t care if it’s going to
make us profitable or not, otherwise you subject it to fear
and compromise. You have to have tremendous courage;
you have to be willing to literally subject the business to the
risk of bankruptcy.”
Reaction: Risk Bankruptcy? The very thing you are
using to cut my business to pieces? Here you seem to
infer bankruptcy is okay. Then why use it to destroy
my business and hurt my family?
to its leadership. Our message to Mr. Sutton is clear and
simple: Knock it off. This isn’t personal, “it’s business.”
More importantly the name calling is beneath you and
your position.”
Reaction: A warning to the Signal and its owners?
Knock it off ? This isn’t personal, it’s business? Name
calling is beneath you? Gentlemen, I challenge you
to point out one incident of name calling coming
from me in the series of pieces regarding our legal
dispute. On the other hand, your attorney, on your
behalf, regarding my wife and I, has stated: “DEBTOR’S EGREGIOUS BEHAVIOR IS PRESENT”;
“PETITIONER HAS BEEN LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE”; IT IS NO WONDER PETITIONER
AND HIS WIFE HAVE KEPT THEIR WORLDS
APART.” Talk about insulting!
Gentlemen, you have the nerve to say it’s not
personal, its business? HOW CAN IT BE “JUST
BUSINESS” WHEN YOU GUYS ARE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE MY COMPANY AND
HURT MY FAMILY BY MEANS OF LEGAL
SCHEMING, ABOUT WHICH ANY REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL (ATTORNEY OR NOT) RESPONDS WITH UTTER DISDAIN? IF IT’S JUST
BUSINESS, WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST APPEAL
THE JUDGE’S DECISION ON THE STATUS OF
OUR NEWSPAPER INSTEAD OF TRYING TO
RIP OUR BUSINESS AWAY FROM US?
Overwhelming Response:
I’ll let the responders to this situation finish this.
These comments are related to articles and columns
in the Gazette, HometownStation.com and The Signal.
The response from the community has been
overwhelming! There is not enough space here to
include them all.
Note: The Gazette’s goal is to be fair and balanced. If
we came across a comment supporting The Signal
in this matter, it would be printed right here. My
staff and I were unable to locate a single supporting
comment (except for the legalese statements from
The Signal’s attorney), including comments on The
Signal’s own website, where individuals responded
to the editorial “Where we stand” piece. Comments
on The Signal’s website were similar to these, which
are verbatim posts from the online sources I mentioned above:
Trump would be so proud of The Signal. Using the bankruptcy law to effectively negate an unrelated legal finding.
Tim
Moving on (in part) to more words from The Signal
editorial: “Being a responsible member of this community is at the center of this team’s mission. However, this
new team will not be bullied by … self-described community leaders nor will we allow others to defame our staff or
make false allegations without rebuttal. Specifically, in an
article published by the Gazette, the owner Doug Sutton
made unwarranted and unsubstantiated accusations about
The Signal ownership and staff.”
This very low…even for The Signal, that once held a prominent position in this community. I was a subscriber for
over 20 years, but stopped it years ago, because the paper
had become such a rag. Thankfully there are other sources
like KHTS, The Gazette and other online sources for local
news. My guess is that these tactics will come back to bite
them, hurting an already struggling publication. Advertisers have other options and should see the value of spending
their marketing money elsewhere. I’m sure that the ONCE
MIGHTY Signal audience is dwindling. Jeff
Reaction: Gentlemen, if you’re referring to the
article in the Gazette, entitled “Signal Article Slams
Gazette,” I challenge you to point out where I made
unwarranted and unsubstantiated accusations about
The Signal ownership and staff.
I can’t believe this is happening. I subscribed to the Signal
for many years, since moving to community in 1985. It used
to be a reputable paper. Trying to change someone’s ruling
and then offering to pay the courts money to assume that
paper is ludicrous. Signal should be ashamed! R.L.
Mr. Champion, if you want to address “unwarranted
and unsubstantiated accusations,” what about the
statements in your declaration to the court? These
include: “DOUGLAS SUTTON IS A FORMER
EMPLOYEE OF THE SIGNAL … MR. SUTTON
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE THAT THE
SIGNAL WOULD HAVE OFFERED TO PURCHASE VALLEY PUBLICATIONS.”
The community should boycott the Signal and cancel all
advertising and subscriptions. We shouldn’t be supporting businesses that act unethical. The signal unfortunately
is held to a higher standard and its missed that by a long
shot. I for one will not be advertising with them anytime in
the near future and suggesting the same to my clients and
friends. Robert
Sirs, none of that is true! Talk about unwarranted
and unsubstantiated!
More from The Signal editorial: “Mr. Sutton’s remarks
in the Gazette are taken as a warning to The Signal and
Appalling!! First and foremost I can personally say that I
have known the Sutton’s for almost 20 years. They are a
family of values and integrity. They are entrepreneurs who
have built a solid business to support their family and community. Is The Signal that desperate? Like many others in
our community, I am disgusted by the reporting and actions
that The Signal
has taken to try
and destroy a
family legitimately trying to make
a living. Debbie
Comments to The Signal’s attorney regarding his
posted statements:
None of this changes the fact that The Signal has become
the classroom bully, trying to steal lunch money from The
Gazette. Your paltry defense of The Signal is BS and you
know it. I am sure you are being paid handsomely, but The
Signal is morally wrong, and you know it. Kris
Just for the sake of argument…how exactly did the Signal
get standing to file the motions? Since when are they a
creditor of the Gazette? Is there an Order or Award of fees
and cost in the civil litigation the Gazette won against the
Signal? We both know there is no such award and the entire attempt to bootstrap a proof of claim is fraudulent. As
a fellow officer of the court, I look forward to a reply….or
perhaps you should advise your client accordingly. John
Rather than continue to evade and evoke details from
only YOUR clients perspective, why not face the heart
of this. Just why did your client attack a competitor in
court, rather than just confront the need to place a far better product into the market, and win on the basis of that
hopefully better product? This action against the Suttons
was initiated by the previous, sorry owners of the Signal.
The new owners have promised a fresh approach. This is
their opportunity to make good on such a commitment,
and leave the Suttons alone, and get on with the business
of trying to save themselves. Allan
To suddenly “find” a legal issue with his BK is highly
suspicious. You just lost a huge legal battle, and NOW you
have suddenly found a loop-hole. Having a full on legal
opinion has back fired and either smells of desperation or
fear. Just compete on a level playing field. Santa Clarita is
big enough for two local papers. Step up your game Signal,
improve reporting, reduce Ad prices, and be fair and balanced. People may return, if not, its a self inflicted failure,
not an impact of David hitting Goliath. Arif
Letters to the Ranter:
Doug,
Regarding your bathroom remarks - I, ME, wouldn’t feel
offended by a transgender using the same bathroom as my
daughter. More so, I would feel offended that if they identified
with being a woman they would be forced to use the men’s
room. Shame on you! Michelle
Response: Hey Michelle, did you see the cartoon where
the dog is in the kitty litter box and says to the cat, “I
identify as a cat today”? (-:
Doug,
I hope you and your family are doing well.
I just wanted to congratulate you on the judge’s decision last
month.
I can’t imagine all the stress and frustrations you and your
family had to deal with over the last three years. It’s nice to see
the good guy win, but I know the battle is still on going. I’m
also sorry to see the childish reactions by the Signal recently. I
actually don’t read the Signal anymore, but I did see the recent
report by KHTS. I’ve always had so much respect for you.
Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Fifth-Grader Finalist
for $10,000 Memory
Championship
M
emorization is a part of almost
every student’s experience, but
for one fifth-grader from Santa Clarita, it comes in combination with a
Carnival cruise and a chance to win
$10,000.
On May 2, 2016, Emma Fowler, 11,
will become one of 16 finalists for
the National Memory Master competition. She will compete in three
rounds of academic memory testing during a five-day cruise to the
Bahamas aboard the Carnival cruise
ship Victory. Each of the finalists received two free tickets to the cruise
and $800 in traveling money.
The 16 finalists have already been
through a series of local and regional competitions to reach the finals.
Emma’s presentation to reach this
point in the competition was a recitation of European history from the
perspective of Napoleon Bonaparte.
“Like he was visiting a therapist and
wondering why people call it a Napoleon complex,” Emma explained.
“Obviously, it was all the other people who had the problems!”
The National Memory Master
competition is hosted by Classical
Conversations, a classical educa-
Emma attends the Santa Clarita Valley Classical Conversations community. She is the daughter of Will and
Jenny Fowler and the oldest of four
children. Emma is finishing her third
year as a Classical Conversations, or
CC, student and has been a Memory
Master all three years.
Emma says she loves horseback riding, writing stories, loves to laugh
and favors anything pink. She also
enjoys acting and is a published illustrator.
In addition to the National Memory
Masters competition, the first CC
t is said that people should write about
what they know. So, Wayne Ruth did.
Timothy had to grow up before his
time and adapt to life fast, with no real
role models in his life. He had to be his
own teacher. He learned the way of life
by bumping his head to get wiser. His
mom died from liver failure. His dad was
around, but not a role model. All that
Timothy wanted was love, just like any
ordinary child. But there was no love at
home, so it led him to the streets, and
that’s where life went wrong for him. …
If the above paragraph sounds interesting (or even if it doesn’t), know that it is
all based on Ruth’s real-life experiences,
which he has put in his new book “Raised
by the System: No Where to Run.”
Ruth grew up in the Crenshaw section of
Los Angeles, an area he said was full of
bad influences: physical abuse, poverty,
drugs, graffiti, gangs, violence and the
always-present Los Angeles Police Department.
“Nobody seemed to care,” he said.
Throw an innocent boy into this cauldron, and the results are expectedly
devastating. Ruth was 5 and remembers
family members telling him not to do
things or to stay away from this or that

bad influence. But no
one told him why, so
“I had to learn the
hard way,” he said.
That meant jail and
prison time. He was
12 when he first went
to jail. He and some
friends were caught
stealing candy. He
said the storekeeper
claimed Ruth pulled
a gun on him. Ruth
said he didn’t have
a gun. More importantly, he didn’t have
family members who
would defend him or fight for him. His
friends did, and they got sent home; Ruth
went into the juvenile penal system. He
looks at that time this way: “The penal
system, we’re your family now.”
Over the next 13 years, his life followed a
sort of pattern: in jail/prison, out of jail/
prison, back in the old neighborhood,
making trouble, back in jail/prison, etc.
He served time in work camps, the California Youth Authority, jail and prison.
He was busted for robbery, drugs and
gang-related crimes, as a member of the
Black P. Stones.
such as his grandparents,
would warn him to stay out
of the gang or avoid certain
people or situations. He
wouldn’t listen.
He started listening when
people close to him started
to die. Between 1994-96, an
uncle died of cancer while
incarcerated, his grandparents died of old age, and an
aunt died of cancer.
The final realization came
at age 25. He had gotten
into a relationship that produced a son, but two weeks
before her due date, he was off to prison
on a drug-transporting charge (he said
his rationale was he was selling cocaine
to make money so he could leave the
neighborhood).
He was sentenced to five years, but served
three years, eight months. Each day, he
said, he thought about his son and how
he wanted to be there for him the way his
father was not there for him (his father
was in and out of prison, usually due to
cocaine-related charges).
“I decided to stop once he was born,”
Ruth said.
When he was out, some family members,
When he got out of prison, he found a
job in the old neighborhood as a cashier
and worked at it four years, and he and
his girlfriend welcomed two additional
sons. But the old neighborhood was still
the old neighborhood: He remembers
the County Department of Children and
Family Services being called to his home
because someone accused him of selling
meth (not true, he said).
In 2014, he had custody of his sons and
was in a relationship with another woman when the police came to his door and
arrested her on an outstanding warrant
from another state. That was when he
decided, “Time to go,” and he moved to
Palmdale, and got a job as a cashier.
He had always loved to write. From age
5, he would commit to paper poetry or
rap lyrics pertaining to the torture he felt
about he and his family’s situation in the
neighborhood.
Now, “I got a story to tell,” he said, “to
motivate people in that world to change.
I’ve suffered all my life. I hope this book
inspires others.
“You can change. You can make better
decisions.”

Sierra Club California Endorses
Christy Smith for Assembly
C
hristy Smith, Democratic candidate for the California’s 38th Assembly District, announced that she
recently received the endorsement of
the Sierra Club California non-profit
group.
“The Sierra Club is pleased to officially endorse Christy Smith,” said
Kathryn Phillips, Sierra Club California’s director. “We believe she has
demonstrated a commitment to environmental protection.”
With 13 chapters in the state, the club
represents more than 380,000 members and supporters statewide. The
Sierra Club is one of the nation’s oldest and largest environmental organizations.
“I am extremely happy to have received the endorsement of the Sierra
Club,” Smith said. “Their work for
the environment is extremely important and I am a strong supporter of
it.”
Smith is a 34-year resident of Santa
Clarita and a two-term governing
board member of the Newhall School
District. She is active in education advocacy locally and state-wide, serving
as the legislative vice president of the
Santa Clarita Valley Trustees Association and as a delegate to the California School Board Association.
“Christy is knowledgeable and articulate about our local and state issues, and would be a voice for the
environment in Sacramento,” said
Sandra Cattell, the political chair for
Sierra Club California’s Santa Clarita
Group, and the endorsement team
leader for the 38th district of the Angeles Chapter Political Committee.
As a candidate, Smith has made it
known that the environment is an important part of her platform.
“I am committed to maintaining California’s role as a global leader in environmental protection, by continuing to support strides in clean energy,
conservation, and swift action on our
state-wide drought,” said Smith.
Smith’s list of endorsements has
come from local clubs and grass roots
organizations, which include the
California Democratic Party, Santa
Clarita’s Democratic Alliance for Action, the Santa Clarita Valley Young
Democrats, the Democratic Club of
Ventura County and the Democratic
Party for the San Fernando Valley.
Now and Then:
Cowboy Festival
By Linda Pedersen
Contributor
T
he City of Santa Clarita’s Cowboy
Festival served up a healthy helping of Old West pageantry, entertainment, and fancy grub last weekend.
The horses, the blacksmiths, the singers and the Western vendors were all
present and accounted for at the 23rd
annual event. But, if not for the Rotary
Club of Santa Clarita Valley, one popular ingredient might have gone by the
wayside.
Little more than three weeks before the
Festival was scheduled to take place,
city officials approached the Rotarians with the distressing news that the
Festival’s peach cobbler vendors were
regretfully retiring from this year’s festivities.
It would require a gargantuan effort,
but the Rotarians agreed to assume the
cobbler mantle and began the feverish
preparations required to serve up over
1,000 dishes of the fruity taste treat.
President Lou Esbin picked three of
the club’s best organizers to tackle the
project. Chris Ball, Wendi Lancy, and
Steve Colf would be in charge of researching the many elements involved,
contacting the former vendors for guidance, and purchasing all the necessary
equipment and ingredients.
This undertaking would not only require the moral and physical support of
their spouses, Krissy Ball, Barry Lancy,
and Mary Ann Colf, but a multitude
of volunteers to make the two-day
venture a success. Lou and his Prema
helped with everything from logistics,
set-up, and break-down to manning the
Rotary information table.
The daunting task of divvying up the
different components and pairing them
with volunteers fell to super recruiter
Sue Endress. Sue was aided in her
quest by Molly Hodson, president of
the SCV Sunrise Rotary Club, and soon
her four-page roster of tasks and times
was filled by SCV Rotarians, Sunrise
Rotarians, spouses, family members,
and their friends.
“I am excited about the amount of
support I have received from these organizations,” said Smith. “The campaign is gaining momentum quickly
and I am confident it will ultimately
lead us to Sacramento. The Sierra
Club’s endorsement will be a big part
of that.”
Sierra Club California is the legislative and regulatory advocacy arm of
the 13 Sierra Club chapters in California, representing more than 380,000
members and supporters statewide.
The 38th State Assembly District is
one of 80 districts. It encompasses
the mountainous inner northern suburbs of Los Angeles. It consists of the
Santa Clarita Valley and Simi Valley,
along with parts of Soledad Canyon
and the San Fernando Valley.
11
Preparing cobbler was only one of the tasks taken
on by SCV Rotary co-organizer Wendi Lancy during
When the weekend arrived, longtime
Rotarians like Nick Lentini, Mike
Berger, Ken Petersen, Tom Cole, Ed
Bolden, Laurie Murphy, Jim Lentini,
Mike Thomas, Greg Nutter, Bart Aikman, Janet Austin, Ron Corn, and
David Goldberg were joined in their
assignments by Sunrise Rotarians like
Liz Seipel, Lynda Cook, and Steve
Dixon. High school Rotary Interact
members Nikhill Bhumralkar, Alyson
Chin, and Sebastian Cezares also participated.
It was especially impressive to see how
the spirit of volunteerism turned into a
family affair for many of the Rotarians.
While Dave Reeves led many of the
back-breaking set-up and tear-down
activities, wife Cyndy spent two days
pouring out the cowboy coffee (made
by J.C. Burkhartsmeyer), and sons
John Michael and Jeremy shoveled
coals alongside their dad, then carried
Dutch ovens filled with cobbler to the
servers.
High school senior Laura Ball helped
dad Chris organize the servers’ tent,
then returned each day to dish up the
cobbler. Wendi and Barry Lancy’s family of friends were there to collect dirty
ovens, clean them, and return them to
the food prep area.
Steve and Mary Ann Colf ’s daughter,
April, granddaughter Katrina, and
great-granddaughter Heather spent
hours assembling the cobbler ingredients in the food prep tent.
Barry Gribbons had the help of fiveyear-old son Luke in the cashier’s booth
for two days, while daughter, Eva, held
her own with the adults, serving the
cobbler to hungry guests for four-hour
stretches each day.
And while every first-time endeavor
has its share of minor glitches, thanks
to hours of volunteer brain and brawn
power, the Cowboy Festival had its
peach cobbler, and the Rotarians
promise that the lessons learned this
year will make next year’s booth bigger
and better.
Volunteer P.S.: The spirit of volunteerism
that Barry Gribbons is passing along to his
children came from his mother, LaVerne
Harris, a tireless community worker dedicated to improving the lives of Santa Clarita residents. LaVerne not only originated
charitable endeavors like the Adoption
Guild for Pregnant Teens and the College of
the Canyons Silver Spur gala, but served as
president or working board member of organizations like the American Association
of University Women, the OLPH Parish
Council, the SCV Child & Family Center,
Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, and the
Rotary Club. A COC Memorial Scholarship is named in her honor for endless hours
of volunteer service and the financial support she continued to contribute to college
programs until her untimely death in 1999.

Festival camp from the early Friday morning set-up
to the Sunday evening clean-up.

Hero of the Week: Donna Nuzzi
American Cancer Society Leadership
Council Chair
By Diana Sevanian
ACS Volunteer/Leadership Council member
L
ittle did volunteer school safety monitor Donna Nuzzi realize back in her childhood days in
Brooklyn, N.Y. what a profound impact her caring nature would mean to everyone in her path.
Many years have passed since those early helping moments, yet Nuzzi, a natural leader
and humanitarian, has remained passionate
about keeping people safe, secure, and healthy.
By day (and some weekends and late nights) Nuzzi
works as the City of Santa Clarita’s Emergency
Services Supervisor, a title that carries legion responsibilities and public welfare concerns. As an
American Cancer Society Santa Clarita Valley
Unit volunteer, she devotedly serves as its Leadership Council’s chair, helping to guide the non-profit’s local chapter in its efforts to promote cancer
awareness and prevention, raise funds for cancer research, coordinate ACS community activities, and
provide free programs and services to all in need.
Nurtured within a close and loving Italian family,
Nuzzi and her two siblings were imprinted with their
parents’ charitable convictions. This commitment
to assisting others was developed through a variety
of endeavors long ago, which included: Raising
money for UNICEF and Special Olympics, selling
Girl Scout cookies, and one of the family’s favorite summertime fundraising adventures – holding
backyard carnivals and talent shows to support
“Jerry’s Kids” (Muscular Dystrophy Association).
Nuzzi, whose family of five moved from New
York to Saugus 37 years ago, continued volunteering throughout high school and college.
Upon graduating from California State University, Northridge with her Bachelor’s Degree in
Business Administration Marketing/Finance,
she began her professional career in direct marketing sales while volunteering in major community events, including the 1984 Summer Olympics and the 1987 Papal Visit to Los Angeles.
For two decades, Nuzzi has been employed by
the City of Santa Clarita. Despite her demanding career, she continuously donates her volunteering energies to the American Cancer Society
as well as the Santa Clarita Valley Boys & Girls
Club, the American Red Cross and City of Hope.
For Donna Nuzzi, volunteering is an important
way of living that embraces others’ needs while
bringing more meaning to her own life. Sometimes
the mission hits close to home: She has, experienced firsthand the anguish of seeing her dearest
loved ones battle cancer. Such personal knowledge
has further propelled her passion and commitment
to the American Cancer Society and to their unified
hope: To alleviate the stress and suffering associated
with cancer, and to one day see a cancer-free world.
resourcefulness, high standards, bountiful energy and positive outlook. While her day planner rarely has any open space, she always manages to write in another ACS project or event, or
jump in to help a family member or friend in need.
Donna Nuzzi makes a positive impact on countless lives. We at the ACS treasure this bighearted
hero and true friend.
From being a little girl walking sick children to the
school nurse to a community leader committed to
keeping all people safe and healthy, she has certainly made her family proud, and admiring community grateful.

American Cancer Society Relay For Life
Fighting Cancer ‘Hollywood Style’ One Step at a Time
By Diana Sevanian and Kirsten Newquist,
American Cancer Society SCV Unit volunteers
H
ollywood is the land of dreams and vision.
The American Cancer Society shares a similar mission – to one day see a dream-come-true
when no one ever again hears that awful threeword sentence, “You have cancer.”
A Tinseltown red carpet feel will envelop Central
Park from May 21 to May 22 when the American
Cancer Society Relay For Life of Santa Clarita
Valley holds its “Hollywood-style” Relay For Life
2016. The festive and meaningful 24-hour signature ACS fundraiser is dedicated to “Finishing the
Fight Against Cancer” through community spirit
and raising cancer awareness, support, and muchneeded financial resources for ACS research, programs and services.
Relay For Life is the world’s largest and most effective fundraising event to eradicate cancer while
bringing communities together across the globe.
Relay survivors participate for many reasons, Keesler explained.
“Most see it as a celebration of another year they
have been blessed to live. Some see it as a reminder
that they are not alone. Survivors share an outlook
on life that is different than someone who has never faced their own mortality,” the event lead said.
Each survivor will receive a purple survivor Relay
For Life 2016 tee-shirt and a commemorative Sur-
The “Official Sponsor of Birthdays,” the American Cancer Society is the nationwide, communitybased, voluntary health organization dedicated to
eliminating cancer as a major health problem by
preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing
suffering from cancer, through research, education,
advocacy, and service.
Throughout Relay’s bustling 24 hours of activities, there will be food trucks and entertainment for
the whole family – all with touches of Hollywood
glamour. Events on Saturday include the “Road to
Recovery” cardboard car rally and race lap, many
themed laps, and the especially moving luminaria
ceremony in the evening, communally remembering those we have lost to cancer. Highlights of this
year’s event also include the “Glow in The Park”
5K Fun Run at midnight on Saturday, where glow
sticks will light up the night as runners and walkers make their way around Central Park. After
the run, the fun continues with a “silent disco” by
HushConcerts.
“Bald, we walked arm-in-arm, and have continued
walking arm-in-arm at each Relay since then. We
still cry together too, but now we cry for joy and
gratitude,” Ends said.
Like Ends, fellow ACS volunteer Agnes Russell is
also a 16-year breast cancer survivor and Relay participant.
“I still get very emotional when
I walk the Survivor Walk and
everyone is clapping and showing their support for us,” Russell
said. “This is such a lovely and
rewarding experience and I encourage all survivors to attend
our Relay For Life, where you
are honored and feel tremendous camaraderie and support.
You will meet many wonderful
people and you’ll have a great
time.”
Survivors of cancer, whether diagnosed last week, last year, or
decades ago, are invited to walk
as one in Relay’s survivor first-lap.
Beginning at 9 a.m., the cheeredon walk celebrates each person’s
victory over cancer, whether they
are cancer-free or currently under treatment. Men, women and
children are invited to attend. If
walking is not possible, the use of
wheelchairs with caregiver assistance is encouraged.
“Our survivors are one of the
most important components of
Relay,” said Betsy Keesler, chair
of Relay For Life of Santa Clarita
Valley. “Survivors are the faces
of our success and the reminder
of our continued struggle to end cancer in our lifetime.”
She recalled walking her first survivor lap 16 years
ago while undergoing cancer treatment. There, she
linked arms with another woman going through
breast cancer. They had recently met at a breast
cancer support group.

vivor medal, Keesler added, noting that purple represents the color of survivorship.
“Our goal is to fill our track during the opening lap
with a sea of purple shirts,” she said.
Prior to Relay, on May 15, the ACS SCV Unit’s
annual survivor luncheon will be held at the Northpark Clubhouse in Valencia. Cancer survivors are
invited to attend this event, which includes inspiring talks, food, fun, and raffles. Each attendee will
receive a survivor tee-shirt, medal and sash in advance of Relay.
American Cancer Society volunteer Sandy Ends,
a 16-year breast cancer survivor, describes Relay
For Life as a “grand, 24-hour celebration of survivorship, hope for those on the cancer treatment
journey, and appreciation to caregivers, supporters,
healthcare professionals and teaching moments for
everyone.”
“It truly inspires from start to finish. There is fun,
food, activities for every age and taste. It is my absolute number one go-to event each year,” Ends
said.
Santa Clarita’s local ACS office offers a menu of
support services, including cancer information,
free wigs and rides to oncology appointments for
local residents in need of transportation.
You may call the ACS SCV Unit at (661) 298-0886

Monday through Friday and is located at 25020 W.

MEASURE E DEBATE
SCV Economic Development
Corporation Endorses Measure E
Proposition E Tax Increase—
The Truth!
T
Y
he Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corporation
(SCVEDC) Executive Committee
voted recently to publicly express its
support for Measure E, the $230 million bond measure that will let College of the Canyons build classrooms
and labs to serve increasing numbers
of Santa Clarita Valley students.
“We have seen firsthand how College
of the Canyons is contributing to the
Santa Clarita Valley by demonstrating
leadership in aligning education with
economic growth, job retention, and
workforce development,” said Don
Fleming, co-chair of the SCVEDC.
By offering 83 degrees that transfer
to four-year universities, plus 68 certificates that prepare students for a
variety of well-paying career fields,
College of the Canyons develops
a well-trained local workforce that
draws new businesses to the Santa
Clarita Valley.
The college also plays a vital role in
supporting a diverse, vibrant economy
in the Santa Clarita Valley. From customized training that helps local companies remain competitive in their respective industries to free counseling
for entrepreneurs and start-ups, the
college provides a variety of services
that bolster the local economy.
“Our support for the measure not
only rests on the fact that every penny
raised by this measure will be spent
right here in the Santa Clarita Valley,
it also reflects our belief that the COC
expansion will make our local labor
force more competitive, helping meet
the growing needs of local business
and industry,” said Calvin Hedman,
co-chair of the SCVEDC.
COC’s Economic Development Division secured $3.9 million in grants
and revenue that provided training
for 2,985 employees at 833 companies during 2014-15. Also, the Small
Business Development Center helped
launch 46 business start-ups and assisted local businesses in creating 258
new jobs.
Working students realize a significant
return on their investment in education at College of the Canyons. On
average, they earn 22 percent more
pay after successfully completing just
two courses related to their job.
If passed by voters on June 7, Measure E will provide $230 million for
College of the Canyons to build new
classrooms and labs at the Valencia
and Canyon Country campuses to
accommodate growing student enrollment. Now serving about 20,000
students, the college expects to enroll
30,000 students in about 10 years – a
50 percent increase.
Measure E will fund four new buildings totaling 172,000 square feet of
learning and student service space at
the Canyon Country Campus. At Valencia, the bond will build 1,000 new
parking spaces and renovate 350,000
square feet of learning space, much of
it in classroom and lab buildings that
are more than 40 years old.
Measure E: Continuing
Excellence in Education
S
ince College of the Canyons
opened in 1969, about 250,000
students have taken classes that enabled them to transfer to a four-year
university, or launch a career in any
number of high-demand fields.
student living at home in Santa Clarita. The same two years at a California State University campus will cost
10 times more - $35,364 – and the
University of California is even more
expensive – $67,200 for two years.
While that’s an impressive record of
service over more than four decades,
the years ahead look even busier for
our community’s college. Enrollment is expected to grow by 50 percent – to 30,000 students per semester – if current trends continue.
COC ranks fourh in California for
completion rates for college-prepared
students, and has the highest student
transfer rate of any two-year college
in L.A. County. It offers 83 degree
options, and features cutting-edge,
next-generation programs that prepare students for the careers of tomorrow.
What’s driving this growth?
Cost & Quality
College of the Canyons is the first
choice for college among William
S. Hart Union High School District
graduates. In fact, of every four Hart
District graduates who go on to college, three choose College of the
Canyons.
They are drawn by COC’s academic
excellence, the range and quality of
program offerings, and the savings it
offers.
Two years at COC costs $3,494 for a
Meeting the Demand
College of the Canyons already turns
away students. Each semester, about
4,000 students are waitlisted. With
more students coming, COC needs
to add new facilities and update existing ones in the years ahead.
Measure E on the June ballot will
provide our college with $230 million
in facilities funding, if passed by 55
percent of local voters. And it does
so at a reasonable annual cost to taxpayers - $15 per $100,000 of assessed
value.
By Steve Petzold

ou may not have heard about
Measure E, the massive tax increase on real property owners in the
Santa Clarita Valley. Please allow me
to introduce you.
Measure E will appear on the June
7 ballot and asks if the COC Community College district should issue
$230,000,000 in bonds to do a laundry
list of wonderful things, ostensibly to
improve, renovate and build new facilities, upgrade technology and “enhance” parking facilities. Read “enhance” as a euphemism for a really big
parking garage in Valencia. The list is
so long, not a single item guaranteed,
that it is almost impossible to think of
a use for the money that would not
qualify. A spaceport in Canyon Country would meet the overly broad criterion. Measure E is a blank check to do
very foolish projects.
Strangely, the method for repayment
and estimated total amount of repayment is missing from the ballot question. Measure E proposes to place a
new tax lien on your property, “estimated” to be $15 per hundred thousand of assessed value. The estimated
total cost of the bond, if you look
in the small print is, brace yourself,
$483,423,125.
I have some experience in real estate
and lending and you should see the
Truth in Lending disclosure. The ballot question is severely lacking in truth
and transparency. Please understand
this is intentional to confuse and entice
the voter.
Think of Measure E as your approval
for line of credit to expand the facilities at Valencia and Canyon Country.
We are told that there is congestion in
the classrooms and in the parking lots.
Students are not able to get the classes
they want.
What we are not told is that according
to COC’s own 2015/2016 Fact Book,
fully 48 percent of the students in our
community college district live outside
the geographic boundary. The taxpayers are being asked to underwrite and
place indebtedness on our real estate
for students who commute from other
college districts. This is not fair. No
preference is allowed for students who
live in the district
and whose parents
are taxed for the
facilities.
Ironically, some of
our students find it
necessary to commute to other community colleges, like
Moorpark, to get their general education classes.
The COC Board of Trustees has the
ability to limit out of district enrollment under the Education Code of
California, sections 78030-78034.
However they maintain a code of silence among themselves and find it
much easier to pass another new tax
on your real property.
In a very strange perversion, major
funding for the Yes on E campaign is
being provide by the “philanthropic
non-profit” COC Foundation. Evidently, their idea of philanthropy is to
lien your real estate to go on another
building spree. They get the deduction,
you pay the taxes.
As a fellow taxpayer, I believe Measure
E is a waste of our district resources. Reform and discipline is needed in
Sacramento to provide for community
colleges in the era of open enrollment
and meaningless matriculation standards. You may want to visit ICanAffordCollege.com to see the propaganda
campaign being waged to drive more
unqualified students into community
college.
Friends, Measure E is a carefully executed plot by consultants like Isom Advisors, unions, and administrators to
build grand facilities and feather their
own comfy positions at your expense.
It will not accomplish the goals that
they promise in their slick literature.
If you think more money and mortar
will solve the problems with higher education in our nation and Santa Clarita, you are asking the wrong questions.
When You Know Measure E, You Will
Vote No on Measure E. A new tax is
not the solution!
The Views and Opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer, not necessarily
those of Valley Publications/Santa Clarita Gazette.
That investment will modernize 350,000
square feet of space at the Valencia campus, provide 1,000 new parking spaces,
build a Student Center, and a new Center
for Public Safety and Allied Health. The
college is a primary training provider for
public safety agencies, serving more than
3,500 police officers, firefighters, and
sheriff ’s deputies every year.
Measure E will transform the Canyon
Country campus, funding construction
of four permanent buildings, totaling
172,000 square feet, including space for
a 250-seat performance venue.
College of the Canyons needs to move
forward quickly with its construction
plans to keep pace with the local demand for higher education. The first
250,000 students at COC experienced
an outstanding education, and we want
the next generation of students to benefit
from the same educational excellence.
Rick Patterson serves as a co-chair of Committee for College of the Canyons: Yes on
Measure E.

California Vehicle Code 10803
Attempting to Sell a Motor Vehicle/Parts with Altered VIN
B
uying a big-ticket item, such as a car, can be an
interesting experience. It pits two individuals together, the buyer and the car salesman, who have diametrically opposed goals. The buyer is trying to get
the best deal possible, while the seller is attempting to
get the buyer to pay as much as possible.
This scenario usually results in a sort of “dance” in
which the car salesman extols the positive aspects
of the vehicle and the value the customer is getting,
while the buyer attempts to appear indifferent. Suffice it to say, buying a car can be a battle of wills,
and that fact alone leads people to alternatives like
craigslist or ebay to search for vehicles.
While buying a car from a private seller can certainly
alleviate some of the trammels associated with big
dealerships, it doesn’t come without its own dangers
– specifically, the danger of buying a stolen vehicle, or
a vehicle that has stolen parts. That being said, how
does one know a car is stolen? After all, a stolen car
doesn’t look any different than one that’s owned legally.
One way individuals in possession of stolen cars,
or stolen car parts attempt to disguise their dubious
origins, is to alter the VIN numbers imprinted upon
them. A VIN number, or Vehicle Identification Num-
ber, is a set of distinguishing numerals and/or letters
printed on DMV paperwork and the vehicle itself
(usually on the driver’s side dashboard). The purpose
served by a Vehicle Identification Number is, as you
can probably imagine, to identify the vehicle; and
buying or possessing automobiles or their parts with
altered VIN numbers is a crime.
California Vehicle Code 10803 makes it illegal to
own or attempt to sell a motor vehicle, or motor vehicle parts, when you know the VIN number has been
altered, counterfeited, defaced, forged, removed,
obliterated, or otherwise obscured. The intention
of VC 10803 is to nab the owners and operators of
chop shops, not so much to incarcerate unsuspecting
buyers of motor vehicles. However, it’s possible to be
charged with violating VC 10803 if it can be proven
that, while inspecting the vehicle, the buyer noticed
that the VIN number on the car, DMV paperwork,
or parts, fit any of the above criteria and purchased
it anyway.
There are a few exemptions under VC 10803 for those
who are motor vehicle scrap processors, those who
legally process automobiles and automobile parts for
scrap and do not remove the VIN number prior to
processing it. Basically, if an individual happens to
own a business that legally processes motor vehicles

A 27-year-old unemployed Newhall man

for scrap, and they inadvertently come into possession of automobiles with altered VIN numbers, they
won’t be held legally responsible, provided that they
don’t remove the numbers before destroying the vehicles.
For those who are not exempt, VC 10803 is a “wobbler,” which can be charged as either a misdemeanor
or a felony.
Misdemeanor charges carry the possible penalties
of up to one year in county jail and/or a $1,000
fine. Felony charges will depend on whether the individual bought the altered parts or just had them in
his/her possession.
For possessing, the penalties include 16 months
to three years in county jail and/or a fine of up to
$30,000. For buying the parts, an individual faces two
to six years in county jail and a fine of up to $60,000.

Four Things On
Your Pre-Retirement
Checklist
F
The first thing to do is eliminate any
long-term debt. Except for the house
mortgage, long-term debt doesn’t
usually come with any tax benefits.
Start paying down these debts as
soon as possible. Structuring a plan
to pay down a car or RV loan is also
essential.
Not having that post-tax payment
later is one of the keys to managing
your budget, which is the second area
to manage. Know how much you’re
spending each month. Don’t forget to
account for “fun.” That may be traveling, golfing or playing tennis. Even
crafting could be in the budget. After
all, retirement is supposed to be fun.
Estate planning is the third area, and
mostly forgotten about by pre-retirees. It is necessary to have a plan to
pass on the possessions and money
for which you have worked so hard.
Often people will spend most of their

or many people, retirement is
a moment in time when all of
their dreams come true and the “to
do” list gets done. Most people treat
retirement like an extended vacation,
at least in the beginning. They think
they can sleep in, eat fattening foods
and catch up on old TV shows. However, vacation is often planned in
much greater detail than retirement.

money over their lifetime. Some may
be passed on to your relatives while
you are still alive to watch them enjoy
it. Others may be passed on through
instruction in a living trust or will.
Seeking the advice of a qualified attorney when setting up a trust could
be the best money you spend.
The most important part of your
pre-retirement life is “risk.” You
see, managing your investment risk
allows all of these other areas to
become possible. Your debt elimination, budget, and estate planning
all require money. Don’t allow the
money you need for your future to be
lost in the market at the exact time
yo-u need it the most. Never put
all your money in one place, and always make sure you are the one who
benefits the most from your years of
working and saving. Your retirement
accounts should allow you to protect
your principal and earn reasonable
rates of return. Always keep your financial plan simple.

for unwanted prescription medications during National Prescription
Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday,
April 30 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Santa
Clarita Valley residents can drop off
unwanted medic-ations outside the
main hospital building – no questions asked. The annual event is a
Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
initiative.
In conjunction with ACTION Family Foundation, KHTS, Santa Clarita
Valley Gazette and law enforcement,
Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital has
participated in this national event for
the past several years.
In September 2015, more than 3,800
federal, state and local counterparts
took in more than 702,365 pounds
of unused, expired or unwanted
drugs at more than 5,000 collection
sites across the United States as part
of the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Initiative
(NTBI). Since it began in 2010, these
events have cumulatively collected
5,525,021 pounds of drugs.
prescription medications, I know our
take-back program makes a real difference.”
The NTBI addresses a crucial public
safety and public health issue. According to the 2014 National Survey
on Drug Use and Health, 6.5 million Americans abused controlled
prescription drugs. That same study
showed that a majority of abused
prescription drugs are obtained from
family and friends, including from
the home medicine cabinet.
In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing
them in the trash —both pose potential safety and health hazards.
For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs, go to the
DEA Office of Diversion Control
website.

“The numbers are shocking — approximately 46,000 Americans die
each year from drug-related deaths.
More than half of those are from
heroin and prescription opioids,”

Chuck Rosenberg. “With four out of

Decisions at the Pump - Regular or Ethyl?
That’s what the gas station attendant used to ask you
back in the day there was such a thing (both tetraethyllead gas and attendants).
What are our options today, especially if we want to
save money on gas, and there’s plenty of evidence most
of us do. For instance, a total of 37,633 hybrid cars were
sold last year in the U.S., according to Hybridcars.com.
And according to Green Car Reports, China built
25,000 electric cars in June 2015 alone.
But if you can’t buy a whole new car, what else can you
do to save money?
What would happen if you stopped buying premium
gas?
Trusted car experts at Edmunds.com say that in regard
to the wisdom of dropping down a notch in gas quality,
there is a difference between individual makes and
models. They suggest first checking to see if your car
has a “suggested” instruction to use premium gasoline or a
“recommended” instruction.
“In today's automobiles, advances in engine technology
mean that even if the owner's manual recommends
premium gasoline, the car will typically run on regular
without issue and won't damage the engine in any other
way,” says an article on Edmunds.com. “The car's
performance might suffer only slightly: It might be a
half-second slower from zero to 60 mph, for instance. But
the average driver isn't likely to notice this drop-off.”
Wow! Does it only mean the car is a little bit slower? That
seems like a no-brainer.
The site also says things are different today than it was in
the past. Drivers used to fill it with premium to clean their
engines, because the higher grade gas had more detergents
and additives, which led to fewer carbon deposits. Thanks
to government regulations, however, all grades of gas have
additives. It’s protected engines and lowered emissions.
Engineers at MIT looked at the difference between
premium-grade and regular gas and whether or not the
higher octane rating is a good choice for your engine.
The researchers say that all gasoline grades contain the
same amount of chemical energy. They all provide the
same amount of thermal energy, which powers the car.
High-octane fuel offers an advantage to performanceoriented engines, says the MIT report in an article by
Peter Dunn. They have thermodynamic efficiency,
converted into power. It burns more evenly under harsh
conditions, which means fewer incidents of self-igniting
and less knocking.
“Modern engines, with electronic sensors and controls,
are very good at preventing detonation of lower-octane
gas (this is why drivers no longer hear much knocking),”
says Dunn’s article. “But high-octane fuel is still specified
when designers want to achieve better acceleration and
power output, and when they are willing to accept a
slightly bulkier and heavier engine with higher operating
costs.”
