October 7, 2010 – Daily Brief

By Jeff — Jeff Wilson

  • Yay! 2011 Amgen Tour of California bicycle race will return to Santa Clarita! Looks like we’ll have the start of the last stage from Santa Clarita to Thousand Oaks. NEWS
  • Yesterday a 16 year old female student stabbed another 16 year old female student with an 8 inch chef’s knife at Hart High. The victim was stabbed four times and was taken to the hospital for wounds to her chest, arms, and back. A teacher stopped the attack, which was was reportedly over a boy. The stabber is being held at juvenile hall and may face attempted murder charges. SIGNAL, KTLA
  • Opening arguments in Josh Pipho murder trial: Michael Stevens’ lawyer says his client was scared after a group of 30 men tried to attack him. That’s when he got in his car and hit -accidentally- Pipho and his friend Chad Weitz. Prosecutors say that Stevens deliberately drove his car into Pipho and Weitz, then got out of the car and methodically stabbed each of them dozes of times. Pipho died at the scene SIGNAL
  • The Ventura County Star newspaper has an article looking at the chloride dispute. The reporter talked to VeCo farming interests and our own Laurene Weste and also quoted from a Signal editorial about the “battle.” VECO STAR
  • Between 2000 and 2008, the number of people below the poverty line ($21,594/year for a family of four) increased in Santa Clarita by 28%, from 9,552 families to 12,205. The recession is partly to blame, but the Daily News says the real problem is that suburban areas don’t know how to cope with increasing poverty like cities do. DAILY NEWS
  • Possible state budget deal reached. Deep, deep cuts to education coming SAC BEE
  • Residents are complaining to the City that the OVOV plan is too big to review in 90 days; some suggest a 60 day extension for public review of the plan. OVOV may be on the City Council’s agenda by the spring. SIGNAL
  • A Jewish voter in the 25th District received an email from Buck McKeon in which the Congressman opened with: ““Dear Mr. Mendelson: Knowing your interest in the United States’ relationship with Israel…” But Brad Mendelson says he’s never corresponded with McKeon about Israel, and he wondered how McKeon’s staff knew he was Jewish in the first place. So he called McKeon’s office up and was told McKeon’s office buys lists of constituents based on their interests. Read more at the STOP BUCK BLOG

    Amgen Tour! Yaaaaaayyyyyy!!! OMGC…I can’t wait to read all the whiny Signal LTE’s once the news gets out that our city will have to (once again) endure the awful traffic tie-ups for several whole hours in May to accommodate this World Class event! And all for a bunch of leg-shavin sissy cyclists…yay…
  2. SamOctober 7, 2010 at 8:45 am
    It would be nice to see Floyd Landis signing autographs at the American Red Cross booth.
  3. CCOctober 7, 2010 at 7:34 am
    I’m happy about Amgen even though I live very close to the event. If a person plans, thay do fine. If a person doesn’t, then they end up cranky and upset like Scott here. I actually went to the movies at the mall when we had the finish line. No problem getting into the movie. Because I was early, parking wasn’t a problem and when I came out (just after the race ended), I got to tour the interesting booths. Pretty cool
  4. ScottEOctober 7, 2010 at 7:39 am
    It’s the whiners I’m complaining about CC. I LOVE the tour. I’m for ANY world class sporting event that comes to SCV. A few hours of traffic is a small price to pay for such rare events. Bring on the Curling Worlds says I!
  5. Tim MyersOctober 7, 2010 at 7:40 am
    Scott is being sarcastic. Word on the street is that he is one of those biking “sissies!”
  6. CCOctober 7, 2010 at 8:59 am
    If he has smoother legs than mine, I’ve lost all respect for him.
  7. ScottEOctober 7, 2010 at 9:07 am
    I didn’t shave today so likely we’re good for the moment.
  8. Tim MyersOctober 7, 2010 at 7:39 am
    Knew that Stephens would try the self defense angle. Wait to see the defense introduce YouTube video of the victims back yard mixed martial arts fights. I wonder if Weitz will be called to testify? On the Hart stabbing, if all goes according to usual we will not hear anything about this for years. Media outlets can publish the names of juvenile offenders (that pesky first amendment), but law enforcement will not release the names so they have to find out from other sources. The Hart District will downplay this like they did the race riot on the Hart campus years ago in accordance with their Sunshine policy, but when someone is willing to stab someone FOUR TIMES there is some serious enmity brewing for a while that the administration was not aware of (Reports after the race riot revealed that the upcoming “showdown” between black and latina female students had been the talk of the school for two weeks). I have known many vice principals in the district at other high schools and they head off these events by keeping their ear to the ground. One vice principal at Canyon in the 90′s told me that order was maintained by making sure all the dodgy folks were in their right spot on the commons. If someone was “out of position” he knew to spring into action immediately!
  9. Dr. Von MonsterOctober 7, 2010 at 8:05 am
    You make Hart sound like Oz! Oh wait, it was like Oz. Carry on.
  10. mikeOctober 7, 2010 at 8:44 am
    You had paraplegic poets opening each day, too? Weird.
  11. Dr. Von MonsterOctober 7, 2010 at 9:33 am
    No, just myriad shankings. Valencia has the paraplegic poet.
  12. NickelDimeOctober 7, 2010 at 10:46 am
    I’d count the syllables in that ill-fated limerick, but that would distract from its brilliance.
  13. mikeOctober 7, 2010 at 10:51 am
    Would likely fail the test Aside from being in jest Disregarded the rules of limerick You know the rest
  14. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 8:39 am
    Two of my children graduated Hart. I am glad they no longer attend. Hart seems to have lost its luster.
  15. mikeOctober 7, 2010 at 8:42 am
    That’s Myers getting in your head.
  16. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 8:50 am
    No really. The last of my children to attend Hart would come home with horror stories about the daily happening. Hart is on the downhill slide when it comes to student quality of life. The negative influence at Hart is growing
  17. Dr. Von MonsterOctober 7, 2010 at 9:34 am
    What year did they graduate? Did they miss the race riots?
  18. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 10:24 am
    They were there when the helicopters were flying overhead and the cops repelled to the campus. A great learning environment!
  19. OlenkaOctober 7, 2010 at 1:24 pm
    Valencia also went through race wars circa 2004. So sad.
  20. FrankOctober 7, 2010 at 9:16 am
    A teacher passing by saw the girls fighting, with one girl holding a knife and the other bleeding. When he tried to stop the fight, the girl with the knife attacked him, the report said. The teacher was able to subdue her without being hurt, the report said…The Signal It appears as though Hart High has a heroic teacher who disarmed a possible fatal attacker. Who is this couragous teacher?
  21. Need for Involved CitizenryOctober 7, 2010 at 10:27 am
    Must be Frank Ferry. Oops – wrong school.
  22. OlenkaOctober 7, 2010 at 1:24 pm
    HAHA
  23. FrankOctober 7, 2010 at 5:37 pm
    English teacher Jim Harlow is the Hart High faculty member who is a hero for handling this dangerous situation…..way to go Mr. Harlow!
  24. NateOctober 7, 2010 at 5:57 pm
    Thank You Mr. Harlow
  25. lvogelOctober 7, 2010 at 5:59 pm
    Harlow is one buff guy; no surprise he was able to take her down. I’m glad he was there at the right time and the student didn’t cause even more injuries….or worse!
  26. Tim MyersOctober 7, 2010 at 7:47 am
    Our daughter entered CSU Channel Islands in the fall of 2009, a year and a half after the Virginia Tech massacre where the campus security apparatus was criticized for a slow and timid response to the first shootings that probably contributed to the mass casualty, including the lack of an on campus tactical weapons unit to deal with the issue. During the orientation we received a presentation from the lieutenant (second in command) of the CI police force. (UC and CSU campus police department are actual sworn peace officers.) I remember his quote that still sends chills up and down my spine: “We cannot guarantee that nothing bad like the Virginia Tech shooting will start on this campus, but you should be assured that we have the personnel, training, equipment and will to stop it!”
  27. ReaderMamaOctober 7, 2010 at 7:11 pm
    The sad truth is that no one can be guaranteed safety anywhere at any time. School campuses in nice areas are every bit as vulnerable as those in not-so-nice areas. In fact, it seems to me that the major school tragedies have occurred in upper middle class schools as opposed to those in “ghetto” neighborhoods. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0777958.html

    ■Between 2000 and 2008, the number of people below the poverty line Where is our stat’s guy. The increase seems consistent with the population growth in Santa Clarita over the period recorded.
  29. IHeartSCVOctober 7, 2010 at 8:56 am
    That’s a good point. I’m not “stats guy” (who may have more to say), but if you control for population growth as you suggested, the increase in poverty seems considerably less dramatic–though still sucky, of course. Santa Clarita Population in 2000: 151,131 Santa Clarita Population in 2008: 177,045 http://www.santa-clarita.com/index.aspx?page=574 # of Impoverished Claritans in 2000: 9,552 # of Impoverished Claritans in 2008: 12,205 (numbers from article) % Population Living in Poverty, 2000: 6.32% % Population Living in Poverty, 2008: 6.89%
  30. mikeOctober 7, 2010 at 9:12 am
    Also, keep in mind that the national poverty rate in 2000 was 11.3%, our all-time low. Last year, it was up to 13.2%. If we kept national pace, which you might expect, considering that Southern California has been among the hardest hit areas, we would have been at 7.23%, right?
  31. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 9:39 am
    I think your numbers reflex city growth. If you include the county, do you think the rate would be different? It is not clear to me if the article just applies to the “city” when the term suburb is used. In any case, the change for the city is not that significant. Thanks for unwinding the spin.
  32. Tim MyersOctober 7, 2010 at 10:23 am
    28% based on absolute numbers is obviously very stark and dramatic, but a 57 basis point increase in RELATIVE poverty is not particularly good news, but certainly not catastrophic. The assertion that the burbs don’t know how to handle poverty is just something the writer pulled out of his butt that sounds right. The easiest way to reduce the percentage living in poverty is to price them out of housing by tear downs and gentrification!
  33. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 8:35 am
    Amgen Tour! There are far more pressing needs for taxpayer dollars than paying the cost of the Amgen Tour! And yes I know the City will say the event is revenue neutral, to that I say baloney. Unless you are a business owner the benefit does not offset the cost. Less than 1% of the city population gives a hoot about Amgen and the bicycle seen.
  34. ScottEOctober 7, 2010 at 9:05 am
    I’ll bite: Exactly what are the costs that the City pays (as in,, how much)? and Where did you get the 1% stat? Keep in mind that, in this case, we are a “Start” City this time around and the actual mileage inside the City (although not yet announced as far as I can see) will likely be minimal as they head out towards 1000 Oaks.
  35. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 9:52 am
    1% is an observation based on the colorful dress I see peddling about town. As far as the cost, contact the city and the will provided the actual cost for the last event. Set-up, traffic control, additional law enforcement, etc. etc. They will claim they recover the cost in the form of additional tax revenue, but are not able to specific. My recollection is that the last time the event was here the cost to the taxpayers was about $300,000.00, but don’t hold me to the number. You may be able to apply the tax rate and do your own math. This event is all about helping business at the expense of taxpayers.
  36. ScottEOctober 7, 2010 at 10:08 am
    Well I don’t know if I’m looking in the right spot, but the total Tourism budget for 2010-2011 is $400k, of which $100k is allocated to “support of qualified National events.” That would include the annual golf tournament and various other high school level national events unless I’m mistaken. http://apps.santa-clarita.com/ViewFile.aspx?Type=Agenda&ID=9622 I’m willing to bet that the $300k you’re remembering was 3 years ago when we hosted both an “End of” stage and the next day a “Start of” stage. Finishing venues always cost more because there is typically some sort of festival as well as significantly longer and more extensive street closures. As far as the 1%, I figured as much. I know a lot of non-cyclists who were very interested in coming out to see the event. Same people who aren’t artists that come out to the Art Walk, Non-Cowboys coming out to poetry festivals, Non-musicians that attend concerts in parks etc. etc. Do you think the City shouldn’t support ANY tourism? What specifically do YOU want the City to spend that money on?
  37. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 10:35 am
    When did the city know they were going to have a piece of the Amgen tour? The budget was passed months ago. Besides, if you believe 100K will cover these events, I would recommend you ask the city for actual costs. What events would I support? None until the budget crisis is resolved.
  38. DamageincOctober 7, 2010 at 10:53 am
    Can I make guesses about how much an event costs even though I have no experience in running events? I am going with 5. So between cash and I our uneducated guesses are between$ 5 and $300,000 give our take a few dollars.
  39. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 11:17 am
    Don’t guess for me. I beleive its between $150,000 and $300,00.00 when all involved city departments account for their actual costs, charged to the event.
  40. MoneyOctober 7, 2010 at 11:49 am
    cash: “My recollection is that the last time the event was here the cost to the taxpayers was about $300,000.00″ ummm…or maybe half that.
  41. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 12:19 pm
    A clarification was made that the last event was a different format. Try and keep up Money. Point is the tour is a waste of taxpayer money, especially in these dificult times. .
  42. NateOctober 7, 2010 at 12:49 pm
    Everyone just trying to keep up with your uneducated guesses. So we know it is between $5 and $300,000.
  43. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 11:28 am
    By the way, the 100k is seed money to lure the events to the city. The actual expense of holding the event would be in addition to the 100k seed money.
  44. ScottEOctober 18, 2010 at 7:40 am
    Not sure if the “tourism” line is your “seed money” but here is what I found: http://user.govoutreach.com/santaclarita/attachment.php?request=503039&access=3137333031353133&aid=41332
  45. ScottEOctober 18, 2010 at 7:15 pm
    City confirmed…no seed money is required.
  46. Coastal SageOctober 7, 2010 at 8:36 am
    As to the Ventura County Star article, those who want $200+ Million in new taxes spent on the chloride removal plant and the other goodies for Ventura County sound like they thought the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Sanitation Districts was a real contract. Not that the Sanitation District Board will listen, but the smart thing to do is put the rate increases on a real election ballot, like Proposition 218 requires, and the voters decide. If 2/3rds of the voters approve the rate increases, fine. If 2/3rds of the voters do not approve the rate increases, then the Sanitation District has a powerful tool to use to tell the Regional Water Quality Control Board to back off, because a vote under the State Constitution trumps the mere laws which RWQCB is trying to enforce. Then, of course, there’s the appellate case which says State mandates have to be funded by the State, specifically including compliance with regional water agencies’ dictates. The Sanitation Districts need to sue the State and the RWQCB to compel the State to pay for RWQCB’s unfunded mandates.
  47. Daddy Joe GOctober 7, 2010 at 9:41 am
    The first I heard of the water problem was a Signal article that said the water board had fined the city less then 200K and had fined 6 flags almost a million dollars. Apparently at that time, the water board considered 6 flags the big polluter. Yet I haven’t heard anything about 6 flags cleaning up its mess. Am I missing something? I like avocados and strawberries. I’m too old for roller coasters and water slides. So to me the solution is obvious.
  48. drive66October 7, 2010 at 9:04 am
    “The recession is partly to blame, but the Daily News says the real problem is that suburban areas don’t know how to cope with increasing poverty like cities do”. Yeah right, like the City of Los Angeles handles poverty well.
  49. mikeOctober 7, 2010 at 10:30 am
    The out-of-town food blogger hit most of the right spots. I could quibble with a lot of it, but I’m impressed.

  53. Berta González-HarperOctober 7, 2010 at 12:13 pm
    @Jeff a comment on local eating establishments. I don’t know if both Rattler’s (mentioned) and Telly’s (not mentioned) both still do this but when I was a regular homeless shelter volunteer a few years back both establishments routinely donated enough complete delicious dinners to feed our homeless residents on many nights I volunteered. Costco also donated pizzas anytime I asked. When I think of patronizing local eating establishments, I try to spend my money with the “good guys” and I thought readers would like to know of these businesses and their generosity towards those less fortunate.
  54. drive66October 7, 2010 at 1:07 pm
    Telly’s is awesome, they have great burgers and a killer grilled chicken salad. The Saugus location is very popular.
  55. rosierayOctober 7, 2010 at 5:11 pm
    wish they could bring back the monthly car shows
  56. spineflower2October 9, 2010 at 9:08 am
    Every Friday at Castaic tey have a classic parking lot display. Their food is a bit too far on the greasy side for my tstes, though.
  57. lvogelOctober 7, 2010 at 6:05 pm
    It’s nice to hear that Rattlers donate(d) food, Berta Gonzalez-Harper, cause Stonefire sure doesn’t!
  58. Berta González-HarperOctober 7, 2010 at 10:06 pm
    @lvogel, hi. I just finished reading my free Canyon Country Magazine that was delivered earlier today and lo and behold, inside what did I find. An article about second hand stores including the new Goodwill Store in Stevenson Ranch. The article mentions scvtalk.com and quotes “Jeff”, “Blazingmonk”, “Lvogel” and “GangFang”. This site is being read and quoted more and more!
  59. Gang FangOctober 10, 2010 at 7:55 pm
    Ahhhh……..did you hang it on your fridge, Berta? Think of me when you have that morning coffee and warm up your broom for the days errands.
  60. Berta González-HarperOctober 10, 2010 at 9:19 pm
    @Gang Fang thinking about you would make me barff morning, noon, or night. Given your proclivities, I am sure you would prefer I threaten to shove that broom up your blank but that would make my broom your new Saturday night date so I will refrain from helping you out. Find your own “dates”.
  61. OlenkaOctober 11, 2010 at 8:39 am
    What’s the magazine called?
  62. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 1:54 pm
    Nate Your $5.00 estimate shows your ignorance.
  63. ScottEOctober 7, 2010 at 2:34 pm
    Shows your sense of humor too. I’ve requested info from the city. My interest has been piqued. Based on my own experience with organizing amateur bike races (admittedly a much lower scale event but with similar costs) and my attendance at the last start (2009), I find it hard to believe we would have to shell out as much as $300k. Even $150k seems high to me. It’s a rolling road closure with the entire peloton together…so no need to hold roads open for very long either before or after. Probably be on SCV roads less than 20 minutes once they pull out of the mall (if they do the same as 2009). All of the start line tents and blockades are most likely provided by the Tour organizers and are moved to each subsequent start location. Volunteers galore. Sponsors. Where is the cost? Sheriffs? Sure, I know they aren’t cheap, but $300k? City workers? Same. I’ll be happy to eat my words if I’m wrong.
  64. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 3:23 pm
    300K was spent on previous Amgen tours. It will be easy for the city to spend 150K on the next ride. The seed money alone, paid to beg for the tour, could have eaten half of that amount. No matter how much or how little the amount, the money has a better use in these economic times.
  65. DamageincOctober 7, 2010 at 3:51 pm
    City works are Salary, so very little cost. At most you would have a few expenditures and maybe some well deserved overtime for our local Sheriff’s deputy. Give us your rock bottom estimate Cash and what you will do if it is under that and you are wrong. I would like to see a picture of you shaking Mr. Wilson’s hand and wearing a Obama hope shirt. Game?
  66. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 4:03 pm
    City works are Salary, so very little cost. It is clear you do not understand the budgeting process, cost allocation and the justification for expenditures.
  67. DamageincOctober 7, 2010 at 4:23 pm

    Congressional estimate: $1.3 trillion deficit for just-completed 2010 budget year. Thanks a bunch Obama, you hack!
  70. NateOctober 7, 2010 at 3:46 pm
    Don’t extend the budget cuts for the rich and magically it drops by 1/3. Imagine if those didn’t happen at all, W would have never racked up the 4.3 Trillion to the debt. Thanks a bunch George W, You Hack!
  71. cashOctober 7, 2010 at 4:09 pm
    You must be applying fuzzy math concepts. You must not be paying close attention to the issue. If you were, you would know the additional taxes Obama proposes, will not reduce the current deficit by 1/3. At best the additional taxes will only offset the future spending the Hack Obama has in mind. By the way, you need to put a 1 in front of that four sonny.
  72. DamageincOctober 7, 2010 at 4:36 pm
    Ok well 4.3 Trillion if you count compound interest he actually added 2.9 Trillion. All in All Between Reagan, Bush Sr and Jr They racked up 9 Trillion. Congrats! and American thanks you. Obama is hack because he hasn’t fixed 40 years of bad voodoo economic policy. But I am sure you will do better this time… http://zfacts.com/p/318.html Oh and Cash here is one for your reading pleasure. Nice little article written by a Reagan Insider who blames GOP for economic crash. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/reagan-insider-gop-destroyed-us-economy-2010-08-10
  73. Bill ReynoldsOctober 7, 2010 at 4:29 pm
    Cash, I know I’m preaching to the choir, but there is absolutely no sense debating these idiot liberals as you know full well Imam Obama’s spending makes “W” look like a pauper. And besides that, socialism will have peaked by November 2nd… Okay… hit the keyboards, morons, AKA: Blazing Natie & Brain Damaged – ha!
  74. DamageincOctober 7, 2010 at 4:43 pm
    Read above you and Cash just got owned. Keep supporting a political organization that won’t touch the biggest cash cow of them all, the military. Only a liberal would see a problem with purchasing $300 toilet seats and buying more airplanes when we didn’t use the last batch. Meanwhile our troop’s hummers still have no armor reinforcement and 30 GOP vote no on Anti-Rape Bill. Go make a video about it little boy.
  75. cashOctober 8, 2010 at 4:35 pm
    http://www.usdebtclock.org/ There is no debate Bill. It is unfortunate, that while you and I may have plenty of money to carry us to the promise land, the young crowd on this board has be screwed and they are too naive to accept it. If Damageinc and those like him want to march with OBAMA so be it. They will just become government slaves with no right to complain.
  76. Bill ReynoldsOctober 7, 2010 at 5:32 pm
    Dream on little sissie… You responded as expected AND as ordered – consider yourself owned Dame Genie. Ha!
  77. DamageincOctober 7, 2010 at 5:55 pm
    You never say another that can be confused as an intelligent thought. You make the same video with the same news footage from 2006. When you attempt to engage anyone you just claim they don’t have all the facts, and never present any yourself or you just resort to “MORON, HA!” Or “IDIOT, HA!” Billy it is never too late for you to learn how to read and actually study a topic for once. Instead of being the little boy trapped in a old man’s body who has been sliding by his whole life. World is changing, we need smart intelligent problem solvers not old men clinging to some ancient idealism that went the way of the dinosaurs many year ago.
  78. Whiskey Tango FoxtrotOctober 7, 2010 at 7:41 pm
    I’m still waiting for that “smart intelligent problem solver” to come along. BTW, that ancient idealism you refer to, you wouldn’t be refering to the Constitution by chance?
  79. Bill ReynoldsOctober 8, 2010 at 6:16 am
    Right O Whiskey, these liberal Yo-Yo’s firmly believe that our constitution is an outdated unnecessary document that prevents BIG government from doing more for non achievers. Nevermind our monstrous national debt and unprecedented high unemployment rate. Liberalism is just great until you run out of other people’s money. Ha!
  80. NickelDimeOctober 8, 2010 at 6:36 am
    Was George W. Bush liberal? And what is your source for liberals believing the Constitution is outdated or unnecessary?
  81. mikeOctober 8, 2010 at 6:54 am
