Santa Clarita, Calif. – The City of Santa Clarita is proud to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the United States! This important milestone is a time for us to reflect upon and commemorate the efforts of women across our nation, who were crucial factors in the implementation of the 19th amendment.
The City of Santa Clarita Celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage with the Forward Into Light, August 26, 2020.
The City will recognize this historic accomplishment by participating in the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission’s Forward Into Light Campaign by illuminating City Hall with purple and gold lights on Wednesday, August 26, from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
The Forward Into Light Campaign comes from the historic women’s suffrage movement quote, “Forward through the Darkness, Forward into Light.” To help celebrate this important moment in American history, cities across our nation are encouraged to use the official suffrage colors of purple and gold to help light up our country!
The 19th amendment was officially signed into law on August 26, 1920, guaranteeing women the right to vote. The fight for this right took 72 years of protesting, marching, lobbying and picketing to achieve.
“Due to the tremendous efforts from women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth and countless other brave individuals, they were able to make their voices heard and achieve the long-overdue constitutional right to vote,” said Mayor Cameron Smyth.

As part of the project, improvements will be made to the landscaped median that will include upgrading the curb and gutter on the northside of the medians, upgrading all landscape pallets and installing new pavers.
Via Princessa Median Project to Resume in Canyon Country. Construction Set to Begin August 24, 2020 between Sierra Highway and Jason Drive.
Through the end of September, motorists driving along Via Princessa between Sierra Highway and Jason Drive will see a new traffic pattern in place near the Sierra Highway intersection.

Santa Clarita, Calif. – At the next Santa Clarita City Council meeting, the City Council will consider the acquisition of The Ice Station. The ice rink was built in 2000 and was heavily utilized by the community until the facility closed in March 2020. Many residents came forward, requesting that the City play a role in attempting to reopen the ice rink.
Santa Clarita City Council to Consider Acquisition of the Ice Station.
After months of City analysis and due diligence efforts, the agenda item recommends that the City Council approve acquisition of the Ice Station. The primary use of the Ice Station would continue to be as a hub for ice skating, hockey and recreation skating, but in addition there would be occasions to supplement the use of the facility for economic development opportunities. Studies were done in 2010 and 2013 to evaluate the market demand for a conference/convention center in Santa Clarita and results showed that there was a need for large event spaces in the City. This potential acquisition would provide additional event space for local and regional events, provide local businesses and residents with a desired amenity, and develop a larger public facility to increase local hotel patronage and induce visitor spending, with the goal of boosting economic activity and generating local tax revenues to support the community.
The agenda report lists the total sale price of the 4.39 acres of land and two-story, 92,751 square-foot building, furniture and fixtures as $14,200,000. The City Council will consider the acquisition at the regular City Council meeting to be held on Tuesday, August 25 at 6 p.m.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad F. Wolf, introduced three new members to the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC): John Clark, Dr. Sharon Cooper, and Daniel Kaniewski. Created by President George W. Bush in 2002, the HSAC is a Department of Homeland Security federal advisory committee that provides the secretary with independent, informed recommendations, and advice on a variety of homeland security issues.
“My vision for the HSAC, consistent with its charter, is to seek its organizationally independent, strategic, timely, specific and actionable advice on a range of homeland security issues,” said Acting Secretary Wolf. “I’m pleased to appoint these leaders in their respective fields to the council, and I thank all the HSAC members for their continued service to the country, and to the Department. The unique perspectives provided by HSAC members to address emerging threats is of the utmost importance to the Department. I’m confident that the new members announced today will contribute to this important mission.”
The three new HSAC members are:
Mr. John F. Clark, former director of the United States Marshals Service and longtime child advocate, is the president and CEO of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. After an extensive nationwide search, NCMEC’s Board of Directors unanimously chose Mr. Clark to lead the nonprofit organization, which was designated by Congress in 1984 to work in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice on issues related to missing and exploited children. He took the helm of the Alexandria, Virginia-based organization on Dec, 7, 2015. Mr. Clark, whose career with the USMS spanned 28 years, was appointed in 2006 as its ninth director by then-President George W. Bush and confirmed by the Senate. In 2011, Mr. Clark joined Lockheed Martin Corp. as its director of security.
Dr. Sharon Cooper is a developmental and forensic pediatrician who evaluates and treats children who have been victims of all forms of abuse, though her primary area of expertise is that of sexual exploitation. Dr. Cooper holds faculty positions at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Department of Pediatrics and the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland.She is a consultant and Board member of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and a member of the Expert Working Group on Children who Experience Violence in Cyberspace, of the Baltic Seas. She is also the lead author of one of the most comprehensive texts on child sexual exploitation. Dr. Cooper provides training to numerous national and international investigative agencies in the area of Internet and Communication Technology crimes against children.
Dr. Daniel Kaniewski is the Managing Director, Public Sector at Marsh & McLennan Companies. Prior to joining the firm, Dr. Kaniewski was Deputy Administrator for Resilience at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) where he was FEMA’s second ranking official and led the agency’s pre disaster programs. He was also Chair of the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) High Level Risk Forum, comprised of risk managers from 36 OECD member nations. Dr. Kaniewski is a senior fellow at the McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security and previously co-founded a homeland security think tank at George Washington University. He was Special Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Senior Director for Response Policy in the George W. Bush Administration.
On Tuesday, the HSAC gathered to welcome the new members, discuss multiple homeland security issues, and receive briefings from the council’s Economic Security, Information and Communications Technology Risk Reduction, Youth Engagement, and Biometrics subcommittees.
Acting Secretary Wolf also announced the formation of HSAC’s new Academic Subcommittee, which will address matters at the intersection of homeland security and the academic community. The Subcommittee will address:
The threat of malign foreign influence in our academic institutions.
The openness of research and exchange of ideas between academia and DHS, to include DHS research programs.
Promoting campus resilience resources to address threats affecting K-12 and higher education institutions.
International student engagement as it relates to immigration.
Monitoring student visa recipients who violate their status.
Additionally, Acting Secretary Wolf awarded outgoing HSAC Chair Judge William Webster, with the Department’s highest honor, the DHS Distinguished Service Medal, for his exceptional leadership and service as Chair of the HSAC for the past 14 years. Under Judge Webster’s guidance and leadership, the Council has provided Acting Secretary Wolf and his predecessors with strategic recommendations and advice on a variety of issues critical to America’s national security in an ever-changing threat environment.
Acting Secretary Wolf was also pleased to announce the appointment of William Bratton, former Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Police Commissioner of the City of New York, as the new HSAC Chair, and Karen Tandy, Former Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, as the new Vice Chair.
