Good morning, Santa Clarita.

Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library will open its Summer Sensory room for adults with disabilities and caregivers in the Community Room at 10-11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug.

Santa Clarita will honor legendary cowgirl Sammy Thurman-Brackenbury with a star on its Walk of Western Stars on November 24th.

The champion barrel racer—who passed away last December—was celebrated for her achievements in rodeo and film stunts.

With school starting, Mayor Bill Miranda told Santa Clarita parents to check that their child’s e-bike has pedals and the proper label so it is legal to ride on streets and trails — some bikes sold as teen-friendly are actually powerful e-motorcycles that break the law.

Local law enforcement is increasing safety checks and may fine violators over $500 or delay their driver’s licenses.
