Tim Myers: I guess turnout was worse than I had expected
Assemblyman Cameron Smyth used to tell a self-deprecating story concerning his first (unsuccessful) effort to run for a seat on the Santa Clarita City Council.

Gloria Locke: More than just the King of Pop

Diana Sevanian: Support ‘Imagine ... La Bella Vida’ for ACS
Picture this: An elegant Tuscan atmosphere (without driving any further than the Tournament Players Club in Westridge), delicious Northern Italian cuisine, fragrant wines and beautiful music.
