spirit at this year’s FestAbility This free community event is designed to uplift and support individuals with special needs and their families through sensory-friendly entertainment Now in its fourth year, FestAbility has grown into a city-backed celebration that blends fun with purpose Formerly known as “Freedom To Be Me,” the event was rebranded to better reflect its mission of fostering ability “FestAbility is about creating a space where our special needs community feels seen Arts and Events Coordinator for the City of Santa Clarita “From therapy dogs and goats to an adaptive rock wall and inclusive dance performances everything here is designed with intention and even character meet-and-greets like Henry the Octopus from The Wiggles A designated Chill Zone offered a calming space for those needing a sensory break while dozens of community organizations hosted booths and activities But behind the festivities lies a powerful origin story Dena Bogrow, known as FestAbility’s “visionary,” first approached the city in 2018 after finding it increasingly difficult to attend crowded public events like concerts in the park with her daughter who has special needs and is deeply passionate about music “She couldn’t even get to the dance floor at concerts in the park,” Bogrow shared “So I emailed the city with the idea for a more inclusive event so I reached out to friends in the special needs community The event also featured participation from the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Department’s Mental Evaluation Team (MET) which shared information with families about alternatives to incarceration when responding to mental health-related calls we’re trying to connect people with the right support,” said Deputy Rene Gonzalez “We want families to know they’re not alone and that there are compassionate trained teams available to help in difficult moments.” Gonzalez emphasized the importance of community awareness and praised the event for opening up those conversations “The feedback has been incredibly positive,” he said Star Wars characters pose at FesAbility event (Sophia Lesseos) organizers reflected on how far the event has come “We’re already planning for next year,” Nocella said It’s about building a Santa Clarita where everyone feels welcome What began as one mother’s idea has blossomed into a beloved city celebration of inclusion and support “If you believe in something and take that first step On Saturday the community of Santa Clarita came together once again for the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay For Life of Santa Clarita Valley joining together in a powerful day of unity The event drew participants from all walks of life and families who walked in solidarity under the warm spring sun While Relay For Life is nationally recognized as a major fundraising initiative the Santa Clarita gathering went beyond just donations…it was a celebration of life “Relay For Life is more than just a fundraising walk it’s a movement to celebrate survivors and raise critical funds to help end cancer as we know it,” said one event organizer attendees enjoyed live music throughout the day A key moment of the day was the luminaria ceremony where candles were lit in decorated paper lanterns to honor cancer survivors and remember those who lost their battle each offering information on different types of cancer Relay For Life at Central Park in Saugus (Michelle Weideman) One display that stood out was the “tobacco cemetery.”  It had names of people who died from tobacco-related illnesses serving as a stark reminder of preventable loss and Valencia High School’s Medical Science Academy were all at the event showing support from both the medical and educational communities For over four decades, Relay For Life has been at the forefront of the American Cancer Society’s mission to end cancer for everyone The event honored four key traditions: celebrating survivors and taking action to create a future without cancer “The DMV wants to remind Californians to try online first,” officials said “DMV modernization efforts allow you to complete most transactions online so there is no need to waste valuable time driving to a DMV office when you may be able to complete your DMV business from the comfort of your home — another timesaver.”  With REAL ID federal enforcement to begin May 7 the DMV has experienced an uptick in the number of people applying for a REAL ID — The good news is that DMV’s digital transformation has made it easier for customers to start their application online upload their documents and schedule an appointment which not only saves customers time during their required office visit The California DMV has been sharing information through multiple channels to ensure that Californians know the steps they need to take to get their REAL ID how to find information from TSA about what alternative forms of federal ID can be used for people who have not gotten their REAL ID yet and the full range of transactions customers can do online without going into an office Note: The above information was provided to KHTS by the CADMV The winners of the 2025 Santa Clarita Valley Man and Woman

Gavin Newsom, as signs indicate he’ll propose additional state cuts to Medi-Cal in a mid-May budget revision for fiscal year 2025-26 — independent of the cuts the Trump administration might make Williams said Newsom could exacerbate, rather than reduce, the harm from the federal government “It could be really catastrophic for these programs and services because it becomes this cumulative and compounding impact,” Williams said “We need the state to be thoughtful — don’t make cuts to the same services that the federal government is trying to decimate.” The county will propose using taxpayer dollars out of the general fund its largest source of discretionary spending to keep its most critical but federally reliant services running at a baseline level Most of the backfilling will go to supportive housing services which will see the steepest federal reduction hit at $24 million in losses followed by the Public Health Department at $19 million Behavioral Health Services and District Attorney Jeff Rosen’s office will also see hits to their budgets and rely on general fund support But Sheriff Bob Jonsen’s office will see no general fund support as his office stands to be least affected by proposed spending cuts under the Trump administration “We don’t have the resources to backfill everything,” Williams said Still, the recommended budget adds 30 positions to Custody Health Services to improve mental health services for people in the county jails Santa Clara County’s federal revenues fall into three main categories government insurance program managed locally as Medi-Cal in California — and Medicare the insurance plan for people with disabilities and older adults Next is money that comes in for social services from a variety of state and federal programs administered by the county including food stamps and foster care programs Both of these categories haven’t yet been factored into Williams’ budget message He said while federal lawmakers are proposing steep cuts to these programs it’s unclear how those cuts will take shape The third and smallest category in the budget is money from federal grant programs established by Congress County supervisors will hash out Williams’ proposals at a series of budget workshops this month “We’re doing the things we can — with the things we can control — so that to the greatest extent possible we are determining our own future,” Williams told San José Spotlight Contact Brandon Pho at [email protected] or @brandonphooo on X Join our mailing list to receive the latest news and updates from our team

scary times for everyone and it would be nice if SCC Board of Supervisors reviewed what are the core services they are responsible for and work from there counties and cities also need to do their part and work together because everyone is losing money but the problems and concerns remain the same Taxes are not the answer but cooperation is needed I know the SJ city will bring back people after they retire without any benefits and for a certain length of time Perhaps people who recently retired can be brought back for only six months to help with caseloads or work at the jails without paying overtime or benefits People who need to be laid off can be brought the same way if they want I don’t know the union rules but I know many people are scared of losing their jobs so perhaps something

Lauren Restrepo and Maxwell Coll both of the Cyber and Intellectual Property Crimes Section Note: The above information was provided to KHTS by the Department of Justice Last week, officials with Chick-Fil-A announced that their Valencia location on Magic Mountain Parkway will be closing on Thursday May 1 The closure is due to the restaurant remodeling their kitchen and dining room While Santa Clarita will briefly be without Chick-Fil-A, officials hint that the new location outside City limits on The Old Road will soon be opening “That means Santa Clarita will be Chick-fil-A—less for a little bit—but trust us it’ll be worth the wait,” Chick-Fil-A officials said in their social media post there were plans to build a third Chick-Fil-A location on Soledad Canyon Road near Santa Clarita Lanes However, that project was never approved by the City it was confirmed the restaurant stopped pursuing plans to build the location This scam appears to be a text message from the DMV, asking for payments towards users’ outstanding toll road payments, however the DMV would never reach out through text asking for any form of money or personal information.  Included in the text is a link to fake payment sites made to steal customers’ information “The best way to protect yourself is to always use the DMV website or call our contact center to interact with us,” said Steve Gordon “Remember that legitimate government agencies will rarely contact you by text for sensitive matters.” It should be noted that you should never reply to unsolicited or suspicious texts especially if it asks for any form of personal information Any DMV related ordeals done from home should only be completed through its official services; eligible driver’s licenses and vehicle registration renewals are no longer

more potent and deadly fentanyl analog The County of Santa Clara Office of the Medical Examiner confirmed last week that a 39-year-old man who died of a drug overdose had taken pills laced with carfentanil which is said to be 100 times more potent than fentanyl — which itself 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin or morphine The male victim was found in possession of counterfeit M30 pills which are meant to resemble prescription oxycodone "Using drugs alone increases the risk of death We urge people to avoid the dangers of opioids especially fake pills that may contain carfentanil or fentanyl,” said Dr Santa Clara County's chief medical examiner People should not take any pill that they did not buy from the pharmacy." has never been approved for human consumption and has been used to tranquilize elephants It is deadly to humans even in the most minute quantities — and we've previously heard that just a couple grains of fentanyl can kill a person who has not developed a tolerance "What I'm really worried about — and the reason I want people to be made aware of this — is because some of the pills that are sold off the street could be potentially laced with carfentanil," Dr. Jordan said, speaking to ABC 7 Carfentanil has not previously been found in the local drug supply in the Bay Area, and this death comes at a time when public health officials are

several key initiatives and improvements to transportation infrastructure Among the most ambitious projects is the Sunridge Development which will transform 996 acres of land behind the former Saugus Speedway we’re looking at something even bigger,” Mayor Miranda explained a successful master-planned community in Los Angeles The city’s portion of the Sunridge project will include an advanced sports park and a 3,000-seat amphitheater designed to attract major entertainment acts we can bring in original acts,” Mayor Miranda added “The final plan is expected later this year with groundbreaking anticipated for Spring 2026,” Miranda stated “The project could take up to 20 years to complete ensuring long-term growth for the city.” Old Town Newhall will also see major changes, with a five-story mixed-use building planned for the corner of Market Street and Main Street and underground parking,” Miranda revealed a parking structure is planned near the southern end of Main Street “Smaller than the one on the north end,” said Miranda “Where the golf club building is [it’s] going to become this new development and that’s going to be later in the year.” Hart Park will officially transition to city management on July 1st The city plans to restore its former luster with immediate improvements to clean up the grounds and reopen the historic mansion to the public Long-term plans include a first-class arts and cultural museum Another project in early planning stages is the transformation of Valencia Town Center “We don’t know exactly how that’s going to end up want is we want something akin to a real conference center with a sizable conference center where we can have sizable events.” Miranda said Miranda emphasized that the city is pushing for a venue capable of hosting larger events While these projects are anticipated to bring significant benefits Mayor Miranda acknowledged concerns about traffic and crime And the city’s done a really good job of stopping crime being proactive about crime right from the start.” said Miranda he emphasized continued efforts by local law enforcement and community organizations As Santa Clarita moves forward with these ambitious plans residents can expect a city that continues to grow while maintaining its community-oriented feel “Not everybody is going to be 100% happy with everything that we do as we progress into the future.” were not happy with what you have and are doing to our town I don’t think you’ll be happy until all of our mountains are mowed down Streets are flooded in the mornings and evenings with traffic not to mention our law enforcement are understaffed Is anyone else tired of hearing sirens all day every day Crime is up and you don’t have a handle on it Mr Sixty plus years living out here and this is the worse I’ve seen One of the reason we moved here 20+ years ago was for the small town feel Do you even drive around town and see how congested the traffic is Keep building and making it more congested Leaving California is looking better all the time The traffic is horrendous in Santa Clarita The traffic on bouquet is terrible and that is one small area We will will need an hour to get anywhere in this valley The traffic was terrible after the 94 earthquake from what I can recall I was born here but haven’t always lived here but it used to be nice Things are going downhill the people moving in are horrible too I have new neighbors from Santa Monica area and Chatsworth and they suck don’t pick up trash that they drop have 5 dogs and probably like 5-6 cars on a cul-de-sac Wonderful to think we will get more inconsiderate people There is no mention of bringing big businesses up to Santa Clarita no mention of how they are going to help expand the freeways to get out of Santa Clarita It’s bad enough at 5:30 in the morning they 14 is fully packed and takes 20 – 30 minutes to get from Via Princessa to the 5 freeway It would be nice to have some huge companies come up to Santa Clarita and employee 5 to 10K each We need to borrow Elon Musk for a day to clean out the rotting deadwood in City Hall but all the politicians see is tax revenue coming in The same trap the San Fernando Valley fell into We don’t need a large venue where the mall is located Research what the Parma Town Mall in Ohio did Please put widening Sierra Highway on the agenda and repaving it as far as the city limit on the south side I was 7 when this beautiful area was voting to become a city It wasn’t just about giving all the towns one name to go by because everyone still went by our different towns and only the original town Saugus got wiped out from the Internet and all the different maps I knew as a kid what it meant to become a city It meant they would never stop building homes which meant all the beautiful hills were going to change or disappear Our sheriff’s don’t know how to do real traffic stops Believe me I lived with a police officer who would complain constantly about it They’re also not good at directing traffic when our lights go out at the intersection And do they ever think about the roads or traffic before they expand Sadly I can’t remember how Bouquet once looked when it was just 2 lanes but the widening didn’t come fast enough I mean look how long it took to connect the 5 to the 14 with Newhall Ranch Rd and Golden Valley And they still haven’t connected Via Princess to the other side of Via Princess near Circle Ranch When they renamed San Fernando Rd and Railroad Ave why couldn’t they just have named it all Bouquet Cyn Rd it would have made more sense and city council has never shown any Sure our area didn’t even have a mall until we became a city but this mall has always sucked They didn’t build it as big as Northridge mall The department stores have never carried as much as there We still have to go there once in awhile to find what we need One of the most important things they have always forgotten is what it was like after the Northridge earthquake if you were going to the Valley it was The Old Rd if you were going to Ventura it’s the 126 which at least it’s been widen If you’re heading East it at least has choices Sierra Hwy But do any of these roads have more than 2 lanes? When they built West Ranch area why couldn’t they connect it to the valley? Why haven’t they ever thought to make the Roads before the expansion because they’ll say they need the homes to bring in the money to build the roads! Or how many people moved here in the summer because traffic was nice? Of course it is many people get out of town and make it seem great everyone is trying to find shortcuts to get around the traffic I have always been on the outside of the city limits I don’t know why they didn’t include us but I’m glad because I see the hills are going to be changing at Benz since the one family home is no longer there and they’ve been checking the soil for over a year at least When this town became four different towns and someone said let’s become a city The adults should have run those people outta here! But they were hoping for the goods of a city without becoming like a city That’s why we still went by our town names What was the first thing I noticed when we became a city My parents had to pay for us to be able to receive a trophy for swimming We told our parents we didn’t need a silly participation trophy we earned our medals that was enough They also had to start paying for us to join teams Hart baseball already cost but once a city it went up in cost If only the Mann theater couldn’t have become the Plaza dollar theater since now you can’t even see where the Plaza theater once was The amphitheater I heard was supposed to go over by Magic Mountain They won’t stop building homes until every beautiful hill is gone When I was a kid getting to the freeway was like 10 minutes but then streets needed more lights because people! Now it’s 20 minutes and that’s when it’s not rush hours But they have never cared about really keep that small town feel! They want the Valley well it’s slowly but surely going to be soon enough! Gone like the drive in and our landmark Saugus Speedway and the solutions for traffic mitigation are not beneficial to the existing residents If you go through with even more downtown expansion open up the “resident only” access to Calgrove and Placerita Canyon These were through streets and helped with traffic flow It is not helping matters that the unincorporated areas continued to bulldoze and build Many of the people who live here came for a peaceful relaxed family lifestyle and to get away from crowds City life I don’t know anyone who is happy about this except the people’s pockets being lined and maybe the real estate market and I remember what it was like to have only two major lights I’d rather go back to that than what it’s become Stop building houses in SCV and around it; go somewhere else Yoo are allowing these homes to be built but what about our water supply this city can’t handle anymore more traffic or people To see the meeting agenda, visit here Game Recap: Baseball | 4/19/2025 7:13:00 PM Thanks for visiting Who/What: The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical Details: Do you know someone who loves all things Percy Jackson West Ranch Theatre invites you to come see Percy Grover and all the monsters come to life on stage in The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical Rick Riordan’s best-selling Greek mythology book series on Percy and his friends at Camp Half-Blood has been made into movies a television series and a Broadway musical When teenager Percy Jackson discovers he is a demigod he and his friends embark on an epic journey to find Zeus’ missing lightning bolt and prevent a war among the gods Where: West Ranch High School Theater – 26255 West Valencia Blvd Contact: Tickets are $11 general admission, $9 seniors/veterans, online at www.westranchtheatre.com or at the door 2025Strong winds and rain slick roads made for a treacherous commute in the Santa Clarita area on Thursday.SANTA CLARITA (KABC) -- Strong winds and rain slick roads made for a treacherous commute in the Santa Clarita area on Thursday Commuters said they were expecting the rain but the winds caught them off guard "My van is skidding all over the place...because of the wind," said one driver just stay inside if you have no business going out." they have the potential to raise debris in the air and the potential issue there is if they make contact with an electrical line or a power pole That could cause a power outage," said Gabriela Ornelas with Southern California Edison the Santa Clarita City Council did not engage in discussion regarding public transit expansion under the Consent Calendar and barely discussed the Sand Canyon Belcaro project which would put more than 300 homes in a floodplain and high fire-risk area The meeting began with a proclamation recognizing National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.  City leaders emphasized inclusivity and support for individuals with disabilities within Santa Clarita A presentation provided an annual update on the city’s economic development efforts In the last year, 1,461 jobs across 21 different companies were brought to Santa Clarita Valley, according to Ondre Seltzer, President & CEO of the Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corporation.
