November 5, 2012 – Daily Brief


  • Newhall Land asks judge who ruled against the Newhall Ranch project to recuse herself, citing alleged conflicts of interest SIGNAL
  • Insert typical "candidates sprint to finish line" story here SIGNAL
  • Wow: some 80 "elite" runners who were set to run in the NYC Marathon before it was canceled decided to hop on a plane and fly to Southern California and compete in yesterday's Santa Clarita Marathon NBC 4
  • Lee Rogers buys full-page Signal ad, makes use of recent (and not so recent) news headlines AD IMAGE
  • Yesterday, an out-of-town group of about 6-8 Democratic activists posed as GOP phone bankers and entered the GOP HQ building in Golden Valley. They then sang an anti-Buck McKeon song, bizarrely tying him to right wing rocker Ted Nugent and the NRA. The Rogers campaign said they had nothing to do with the stunt, which was focused on McKeon DWT
  • Thieves steal $150,000 worth of copper electrical wiring from DWP property in Canyon Country. But detectives might have a lead; a DWP Security guard spotted a man sitting near the property in his car; when confronted the man said he likes to drive out to remote places to meditate and study his bible. SIGNAL
  • City asks High Speed Rail authority to put HSR tracks underground for another two miles through Canyon Country KHTS
  • Three motorcycle accidents on San Francisquito road in under one month, but no fatalities at least SIGNAL
  • Palmdale woman goes berserk in Saugus neighborhood on Halloween night, attacking residents "wildly with both fists, throwing haymakers and landing punches on the victim's faces." I love it when the SCV Sheriff's Station gets descriptive like that. SIGNAL
  • Small black child wrapped in blanket, taken from park in Canyon Country. Someone calls and reports a kidnapping. Deputies rush to investigate, find kidnappers in South Central LA. Only they're not kidnappers; they're the child's grandparents and the boy was wrapped in a blanket because he was cold KHTS
  • Remember the motorist who got into a road rage dispute with another motorist, then pulled a knife? Deputies arrested the man, Gilbert Yoon, a short time later and now it's come out that he's the principal of an elementary school in Ventura County and used to work in the Acton-Agua Dulce School District as well SIGNAL
  • 40 mph winds & relative humidity of 6-12% equals another red flag warning for the region KPCC
  • Giant, Tommy Bahama themed express car wash coming to vacant lot at the corner of Magic Mountain & Bouquet Canyon. I thought our chloride problem made it difficult to open businesses like this in the SCV? SIGNAL
  • City to host public meeting "to gather feedback and comments" about Conference Center master plan SCV BEACON
  • Bipartisan list of local school officials endorsed Ed Headington SIGNAL
  • Signal slams Ed Headington for using Signal logo in mailer that "gives the appearance that our company produced and distributed the mailer." SIGNAL
  • Like a lot of SCVers who move here for the good schools, then depart when they've become empty-nesters and are ready to retire, Myers is about ready to move on SIGNAL
