George Fasching Leads Campaign to Get Denny’s to Fire Up Historic Van De Camp Windmill BY TERRY MILLER
The original Van de Kamp windmill, seen here on Monday evening at sundown, may soon be in motion again if George Fasching has anything to say about it, and he does.

She had made previous comments to the family about jumping off the Colorado Street Bridge. She had left her home in Santa Clarita early Saturday morning without telling her family where she was going. Her father became concerned when she had not returned home.

Parolee Arrested After Stand-Off in Pasadena
Pasadena Police earlier Wednesday apprehended a parolee in the 700 block of Raymond, near Fair Oaks. William Boyer, PIO for the city of Pasadena, has stressed this is completely unrelated to the mass shooting in San Bernardino and the area is safe. On December 2, 2015 at approximately 11:03 AM Pasadena police officers attempted to arrest Daylon Camp (African American male – 21 years old, Pasadena resident) who had an outstanding arrest warrant for burglary.
