Meet our new Principal Candace Fleece who replaced Mrs Von Buelow this school year.
Candace was the Assistant Principal for our school last year. Mrs Fleece began her career as a NSD substitute … (0 comments)

For those of you who do not know who Hal Fishman is, He was a local TV anchor here in Los Angeles at KTLA Channel 5 since 1965. He passed away August 7, 2007 after recently being diagnosed with Colon Cancer.
Hal Fishman had an irresistible personality and charisma, you could tell he loved his job and I would crack up on his genuine sense of humor. I learned that in many instances he would ad lib, say if the teleprompter were not working and not miss a beat. He also did commentary on news events from time to time and you could tell … (3 comments)

Where is Santa Clarita? Well if your a fan of the television show "24" then you would have a harder time finding us here in Santa Clarita as we were nuked by terrorist in one of their recent episodes last season. But let me be the first to tell you we are all just fine and last time I checked there were no elevated levels of radioactivity.
Despite all this publicity which no city really wants we are still a question mark in most minds as to where we are located unless you use a GPS navigational device. The conversation usually takes place like this. … (0 comments)

Why is Santa Clarita one of the safest cities in this country. It is people like Rick Patterson of Owen Patterson and Owen and Anthony Zinnanti two local attorneys here in Santa Clarita who filed a restraining order to bar Jack Mcclellan from being within 10 yards of a minor child.
Rick and Anthony are our most recent heroes. This restraining order not only applies to Santa Clarita but to the entire state of California!

california real estate agent views: Support the 14th Annual Downed Officer Support Ride on Sunday August 16th, 2008 - 07/11/07 02:32 AM
I will never forget that August morning 2001 in Stevenson Ranch California as I drove to work I noticed a number of patrol cars on Brooks Cir as I turned on to Poe Parkway. I was thinking to myself, should I turn back and stay with my family?, but it appeared all was under control and I thought they (law enforcement) were serving a warrant on one of the houses on Brooks possibly for some minor offense. I had no idea of the tragedy that was about to unfold in the next few minutes as I drove down the street towards my office.

california real estate agent views: Featured Local Santa Clarita Artist Teri Garcia - 07/03/07 01:38 PM
Teri and Rick Garcia are past clients of mine when I worked for a local national lender here in Santa Clarita, California. The Garcia's are the type of people you want not only as a client but more importantly as "friends". The Garcia's are fun to be around with and Rick has a great sense of humor.

When I think of this group of men gathering and signing "The Declaration of Independence" Putting their country above their own personal gains and pledging their lives for something they believed in. I cannot help but be in awe of this group and how they changed the World!

california real estate agent views: When I look back at my childs first year at Rancho Pico Jr High my biggest regret is not "traveling with Mr Johnson" - 06/30/07 11:10 PM
My oldest child attends Rancho Pico Jr high in Stevenson Ranch, California. Sure I attended all of the open houses and other similar activities, but I missed out on all of those after school adventures "traveling with Mr Johnson" which I could have attended had I planned things better. These are missed opportunities to spend "Quality" time with my child doing something I absolutely love. That is exploring, and in addition to that, exploring with a teacher who shares the love of the outdoors and it's history. Something I have all but abandoned in my "Pursuit of happiness"
As I browse thru Mr … (2 comments)
