"I expect a high turn-out," said Renee Sabol, president of the Castaic Days Civic Association. She said the volunteer organization has devoted at least 10 months each of the last four years to planning the annual festival. Sabol formed the non-profit organization to bring attention to Castaic Lake as a recreational "hot spot" and has worked closely with Vanessa Brookman, the association's corporate secretary, and six others.

Castaic Area Town Council member Renee Sabol has spent the last decade working with the Hart district and the Castaic community to build a Castaic high school. Sabol said she just wants the high school to get built, whether it's at Romero Canyon or Hasley/Sloan. "I would like it if members of my community would please stop, I repeat, stop, looking for reasons why a school shouldn't be built at either site," said Sabol, the advisory committee's land-use chair. "It's selfish. It's self-centered. It's not in the best interest of our children." Sabol said she's not impressed with any of the concerns brought up by the residents. "I'm not worried about the landslide issues," Sabol said. Rather than arguing about which site is best, Sabol wants the community to move forward with the Hart district. "This community needs to get behind whatever site the district chooses and then let the district know that we support the site," Sabol said. "I like the progress that's being made," Sabol said. Renee Sabol, chairperson of Castaic Days, was quoted in August 2008 regarding the Monticello proposed school with a maximum of 110 in Hasley Canyon: "Councilwoman Renee Sabol was concerned that the school could not possibly be prepared for a fire like the Ranch Fire of 2007 that scorched through Hasley Canyon and forced the evacuation of the entire area and the closure of Hasley Canyon Road." Sabol said she's not impressed with any of the concerns brought up by the residents. From kprezioso comment: Renee Sabol, chairperson of Castaic Days, was quoted in August 2008 regarding the Monticello proposed school with a maximum of 110 in Hasley Canyon: "Councilwoman Renee Sabol was concerned that the school could not possibly be prepared for a fire like the Ranch Fire of 2007 that scorched through Hasley Canyon and forced the evacuation of the entire area and the closure of Hasley Canyon Road." Of course Renee Sabol made the statement that she did. I'm sure she does not live back in a canyon nor is she aware of the accidents that have killed many of our children. I applaud you for jumping to the defense of Ms Sabol as I also am against taking "sound bites" and twisting them around, but you have it wrong here.

"Castaic Days is the perfect way for families to kick off fall activities by enjoying the great outdoors at Castaic Lake," said Renee Sabol, founder and chairperson of Castaic Days, in a news release.
