in Paramount Ranch films.
While Paramount Ranch
operated as movie ranch, it
also was home to a shortlived
racetrack in the 1950s.
“The Devil’s Hairpin” was
filmed on the course, which
closed down after three fatalities
within 18 months
from its opening.

Officials warn of political
donation scams
As election season heats
up, the Los Angeles County
District Attorney’s Office
issued a Sept. 14 fraud alert
regarding political donation
scams.
The release explains that
thieves sometimes pose as
campaign workers and call
people seeking contributions.
“The fraudsters may
Drati said securing dropoff
and pick-up areas is part
of a district-wide plan that
also would include installing
perimeter fencing to
channel access to designed
entrances; equipping elementary
schools with electronic
entrance door locks at
the main entrances, and installing
camera surveillance
systems at all sites while
providing visual verification
of unauthorized entry.

the release notes.

on the campus perimeter,
outside of the main campus.
“We are interested and
want to implement that
check in during drop off and
pick up and make it districtwide,”
Drati said. “We recognize
that is a weakness in
our area. By all means, we
aren’t saying that’s a panacea
of this issue. This thing
is complex, that is a measure
we can take immediately to
try to resolve this.”
Drati said he’ll be talking
at local elementary schools
about plan implementation.
