By Jeff Wilson

  • Nine car injury pileup on southbound Highway 14 this morning. Multiple people reported to have been whisked off to the hospital as traffic was backed up all the way to the Antelope Valley. TIMES
  • Six cruisers and multiple deputies with guns drawn arrested a sleeping couple in stolen van at Valencia Marketplace shopping center yesterday morning. SIGNAL
  • Facebook member Julie went to SUSD's board meeting last night and says that SUSD Board officials reported to the public that they have indeed taken the proper steps to vacate the seat that once belonged to Stephen Winkler, in contrast to reporting done by KHTS. FACEBOOK
  • This is why we can't have nice things: College of the Canyons suddenly enforces rule prohibiting general public from walking or using the college's stadium and track & field. COC Athletic Director Chuck Lyon tells the Cougar News that COC has been sued by members of the public, so they've chosen to lock down the track. Some are upset. COUGAR NEWS
  • Detectives still looking for the two men who allegedly stabbed a man attending a BBQ at a Newhall apartment complex on Sunday. The Detectives want to talk to the stabbing victim but he's in no condition to speak yet. SIGNAL
  • Interesting: NSD implements new security plan for its 10 schools following Sandy Hook massacre. SCVNEWS
  • It will take the Coroner's office some two months to identify the remains of a person who was found some 400 feet down a ravine near a car in the Angeles National Forest. The family of Gevork Boyadzhyan has been looking for him for two months and while Detectives confirm the car in the ravine belonged to Boyadzhyan, the Coroner's office says all they know is that they have a bunch of bones.

  • The parents of Bryce Laspisa have officially ended their search for their 19 year old son at Castaic Lake. PATCH.COM

I wasn't around the SCV in 1984 when LA last hosted the games but by 2024, maybe we could have some events up here if by some miracle LA gets to host the games again? It's not out of the realm of possibility; we have some great cycling locations. SIGNAL

    Can you imagine what Soledad Canyon will be like on weekends when Villa Metro opens?

    I am always suspicious when officialdom throws out these "lawsuits" as reasons for everything. I would really like them to provide names of actual cases that have been brought so that the public could read the pleadings and see what is really going on. I find it extremely hard to believe that any rational plaintiff's attorney is bring cases against COC because a non-student or athlete slipped and fell on the track. That does not seem like a paying case.

    There really is not a good reason to call Buck names like chickenhawk , it hurts the credibility of the writer. Someone has to stand up to Putin .

    Tim, what's a "rational plaintiff's attorney"?
  5. Don RickettsThursday, September 19th, 2013 at 7:42 am
    Me!

    Phil: A rational plaintiff's attorney is one who takes on a "paying" case; one where actual damages exist and the chance of recovery (and therefore settlement) is high.

    Without plaintiffs attorneys, there wouldn't be a whole lot of need for defense attorneys.

    Like the pending voting discrimination cases?

    I was going to say it was an Oxymoron and your reply does nothing to dussuade me from that view.

    Lawyer-on-lawyer jokes may be the best kind of lawyer jokes.
  11. Phil EllisThursday, September 19th, 2013 at 8:21 am
    Nothing like a little self-deprecating humor.

    My biggest complaint about being a lawyer was that I had to spend too much time with lawyers.

    Thanks for covering the Cougar Stadium story. Below is a petition I have started to urge COC to allow the public access to the facilities considering the project was funded with Measure M money and other community colleges in the surrounding area allow public use. Please sign and share with local residents via FB, Twitter, etc! http://t.co/ZXdNRI0jWP Thanks!
