santa clarita heroes: How to keep abreast with friends on Facebook like Sheila R.Veloz Breast Imaging Center - 11/01/09 02:27 PM
My wife called the Sheila R. Veloz Breast Imaging Center the other day to schedule her annual Breast Exam. Unbeknownst to her our present insurance carrier did not cover this type of preventive care and so when she was told she would be faced with a $160.00 bill she told the lady on the other line that she didn't realize it would cost that much and would get back with them. Later that day she told me she was holding off from having her breast exam due to the cost. I told her to call back and schedule an appointment anyway and that I … (2 comments)

Do you have a teen driver? Many of us do, my oldest just turned sixteen and is in the process of getting her driver's license.

Do you have a family? Not one of the first thoughts that came to mind when I found myself stranded on the side of the 210 freeway the other day. But I was asked that question point blank by a total stranger I just met on the side of the road. So what led up to this chance encounter you might ask or wonder. Well I was driving back from Chino Hills on my way back to Santa Clarita when I began to feel a mild vibration in the car. I began to reason is the road bumpy or is my … (8 comments)

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period … (3 comments)

I just receieved an update from Donna Deutchman CEO of Habitat For Humanity representing both the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys. Donna updated us as to the most recent developments and the local efforts in fundraising. As of 2/2008 this local chapter has raised $120,000 to date and counting. This is an incredible achievement and a testimony to those actively involved. These needed funds are critical in seeing that local disaster fire victims can be assisted in rebuilding when local and national efforts are not sufficient or they don't qualify for certain funds because they don't fit the "criteria".

santa clarita heroes: City of Santa Clarita thanks all heros who helped in our recent fires - 11/14/07 02:14 PM
11/2007
I recently came across a few banners on the (5) freeway overpasses and one here on Newhall Ranch Road which expresses my sentiments and I am certain most of us who reside here in Santa Clarita.
I would like to personally thank all fire, police, city, government officials and everyday citizens for their efforts in saving peoples lives, homes, and in some cases livelihoods. If not for all of their efforts combined the devastation we experienced here in Santa Clarita could have been much greater than we experienced.

I as well as thousands of others watched in amazement as an accidental fire caused by a local 10 year old playing with matches consumed brush, trees, homes and whatever lay in its path. Despite the heroic efforts of firefighters some of these homes could not escape its wrath. The Buck weed fire raged on through Agua Dulce and wound its way through Bouquet Canyon.
What we did not know as we watched in shock were the stories of sheer terror, heroism, and Miracles going on behind the scenes. As the local networks and local hometown radio KHTS 1220 A.M. gave us … (0 comments)
