This week, West Hills resident and super community journalist, Pam Vetter, caught many eyes with her story about students and parents at CHIME Charter Middle School in Chatsworth.

Vetter captured great quotes from a couple of parents who felt all schools can learn from CHIME Charter Middle School, where children with special needs are included in regular classrooms and recreational activities. Read her story on page 4 and find out more about this special place for families.

Another West Hills resident, Bob Schoenburg, is busy writing all about society's quirks on his blog Robert's Rant.

Read his latest entry on page 5, and find out why calling a number in the same area code can cost you. Also, Schoenburg explains his frustrations with coupons that offer deals on things he doesn't want.

Citizen journalist Patrick Murphy recently attended a meeting at NEW Academy School, where KABC-7 representatives listened to residents' suggestions on what they'd like to see covered in the news.

Murphy, a former West Hills resident, wrote a good story detailing the importance of the meeting and shared what was accomplished.
