Hey Ern - This was in The Mighty Signal on Thursday. It didn't appear on their low budget web site.

Actor Making Campaign Stop in Santa Clarita

The Terminator is on his way.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with an entourage complete with five tour buses, is scheduled to make a stop Friday at a Latino-owned and operated business on San Fernando Road.

Anthony Maldonado, manager of Pueblo Building Materials, said he was surprised when he got a call from city officials telling him that the former Mr. Universe will be making an appearance at his family's place of business.

"It's exciting," Maldonado said. "We got a call saying that they were looking for a business owned and operated by Latinos because (Schwarzenegger) was interested in reaching out to the Latino community. To be chosen, it's an honor."

Maldonado, who along with his family, purchased the business four and a half years ago, said he already has "a lot of questions" lined up for the gubernatorial candidate.

"I want to know how he plans to help out the Latino community," he said. "I was told he would be here for about an hour, answering questions and talking to us, so we're pretty much ready for him."

Pueblo Building Materials is located at 25446 San Fernando Road. The Schwarzenegger stop is scheduled for Friday, at 10 a.m.

Thanks Concentric Circles for getting the print article from the "mighty" Newhall Signal into this thread. OK, it was a Latino owned business - not necessarily a supporter (though he appears to have been interested in a dialogue with Candidate Schwarzenegger).

The Signal has been a low circulation paper for decades now especially compared to the Los Angeles (actually these days Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles) Daily News. With their old time Santa Clarita focus, they just don't have the bucks to put the article on their website.

BTW, I only saw four buses, not the five the article stated.

The Mighty Signal

Thanks for the fill-in....I quit taking the "Mighty Sigmoid" after editor Will Fleet (as in "Enema") took it to the left. Besides, we sold out a year and a half ago and got our butts into the flyover portion of California.

Best things the Signal had was "Tell It To The Signal - a/k/a/ TITTS" and John Boston's columns.

I assume San Fernando Road is still the Dust Bowl of the SCV..correcto?
