The deadline to submit entries for Santa Clarita Sister Cities’ Young Artists and Authors Showcase has been extended to Sunday, April 25, 2021.
The local Sister Cities program is looking for youth artists, poets, photographers, musicians, and writers to participate in this annual showcase.
This year’s theme is “United in Hope” and students are asked to convey, through their entries, their vision of citizen diplomacy and how hope can be a uniting force during this challenging time when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are felt globally.
To qualify, students must be between 13 and 18 years old by May 1, 2021. Interested teens may submit one entry per category, along with a completed entry form, at scvipsantaclarita.org. Students with the top entry for each category will receive $100, and their entries will move on to compete nationally with Sister Cities International in Washington, D.C. for the grand prize of $1,000 in each category.
The owner of a shopping center at the corner of Lyons Avenue and Apple Street will seek the Santa Clarita Planning Commission’s approval Tuesday to subdivide the lot from three parcels to eight.
Lyons Station Center is a 2.2-acre property with a parking lot and 28,010 square feet of commercial space across five buildings housing a variety of businesses, including a 7-Eleven, Korean barbecue restaurant, dental office, staffing agency, massage services, professional offices, boba store, hair salon, nail salon, Popeyes and Baskin Robbins.
CP Lyons Station SC, LLC, applied to subdivide the property in June 2019 and the city deemed the application completed in July of the same year, according to a city report. As part of this application, the applicant did not propose any construction to the shopping center, which was first approved by Los Angeles County in 1977.
