CADRE Drug Education Program

I just received this email from the Hart school district.  Wanted to share if it was applicable to any of you.

The William S. Hart Union High School District is proud to offer parents and students the first CADRE drug awareness seminar dealing with the issue of drug, steroid and alcohol use and their affects on the school community and families. The program will cover common drugs found in our area and their affects on the human body, how to assist your student in resisting peer influences regarding drug and alcohol use and what to look for when drug and alcohol use is suspected. Please join us on March 24, 2009 at 7 p.m. at the Valencia High School Multi Purpose Room. You will also receive information on the CADRE voluntary random drug testing component and how to enroll in this valuable and important program to help keep our students off drugs.

That’s March 24, 7 p.m. – Valencia HS MPR

If you have never been to the SCV Dodger Day then it’s time.  The city really embraces this day and is sure to be a ton of fun.

Sidewalks Now Open to Bikes

Sidewalks are about to get a little more crowded.  The City Council voted and unanimously approved to allow bike riders to use the sidewalks in Santa Clarita. 

I always cringe when I see cyclists riding next to speeding traffic.  I’m kinda glad they are allowing them to get in a safer zone where are they have to worry about are joggers with headphones that can’t hear them coming, stroller brigades that consume the entire path of the sidewalk and cracks in the sidewalks.

Still much better than driving alone with speeding traffic.

Nice job council.

Pink Friday

California’s budget cuts have resulted in around 11k pink slips for teachers and on Friday (the 13th) they could be handing out another 11k or so more.  Teachers will be protesting and wearing pink shirts on intersections throughout California.

Want to do more than just honk at them when you drive by? Here’s what you can do do help.

• You can wear pink on Friday to show that you are supporting your local teachers.
• Organize or help organize an event.
• Call or email your legislature. 

• Call Your Assembleymember (Cameron Smyth for the SCV) and Your State Senator Using CTA‘S “CUTS HURT” Hotline 1-888-268-4334
• Call Your U. S. Senators 1-800-294-9811

• Tell them how you feel about the importance of investing in public education.

Got to their website for more information.

Senior Short Bus

There is a great service in town for seniors to get transportation in the SCV.  I’ve seen this bus around town for years, but never knew how it worked until today.  Basically it costs $2.00 per trip and you need to call a day ahead of time to schedule the ride.  Apparently you can also get discount tickets at the senior center in Newhall.

For more information or to schedule a ride call 294-9327.
