Greetings to all of my fellow Northeast San Fernando Valley San Fernando Valley Valley, southern California, U.S. Northwest of central Los Angeles, the valley is bounded by the San Gabriel, Santa Susana, and Santa Monica mountains and the Simi Hills. residents. I'm happy to announce that I will be taking over as the valleynews.com community journalist for the Northeast Valley -- I'm ecstatic ec·stat·ic adj. 1. Marked by or expressing ecstasy. 2. Being in a state of ecstasy; joyful or enraptured. [French extatique, from Greek ekstatikos, from about this opportunity. I was born in Sun Valley and raised in Pacoima, therefore, covering the Northeast is the fullfillment of an important goal in my life -- giving a voice to the concerns of people in my community.

Too many times I heard stories about men and women whose work was exploited, perhaps because they had no citizenship and could make no claim to their human rights. All this and many more occurrences served as motivation for me to tell these people's stories. Now, with valleynews.com, I'm not alone. And the opportunity of telling the untold stories is not solely riding on my shoulders. The people in my community now have a resource with which they can voice their concerns and be heard. But sad stories are not all we are interested in. There are many things to be proud of and to boast about in the Northeast Valley. Citizens can tell everyone how the community comes together to celebrate together in the Annual Veteran's Day Parade.
