Simi ValleyNew park district manager hired
Big news for Simi Valley: the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District has a new leader, and he’s coming home. Steve Wright, a veteran parks and recreation executive and former Simi Valley resident who raised his daughters here, was selected as district manager after a nationwide search that drew over 100 applicants. Currently living in Houston, Texas, Wright is set to return to the community he once called home, bringing decades of experience and a deep personal connection to the area. This hire matters because our parks and rec district shapes so much of daily life—from local sports leagues and community events to trail maintenance and open space preservation. Wright’s local roots suggest he understands what makes Simi Valley special. The Simi Valley Acorn first reported the news, and it’s a story that feels like a homecoming for both Wright and the community. Welcome back, Steve!
Simi ValleySimi Valley’s history keeper dies at 96
Pat Havens was more than a historian—she was the heartbeat of Simi Valley’s memory. For over six decades, she collected the stories, faces, and moments that made our city feel like home. Whether she was archiving old photographs at the library or sharing tales of the valley’s ranching roots at community events, Pat made sure no one forgot where we came from. Her passing at 96 leaves a quiet hole in our town’s soul, but her work lives on in every exhibit, every local history talk, and every neighbor who now knows the name of the street they live on. This loss, first reported by the Simi Valley Acorn, reminds us that local history isn’t just in books—it’s in the people who care enough to save it. Pat Havens was one of those rare souls who turned a passion into a gift for the whole community. If you ever wandered through the Simi Valley Historical Society or paused at a plaque downtown, you felt her touch. Let’s honor her by keeping our stories alive, one conversation at a time.
Simi ValleyDOJ takes over fatal officer-involved shooting investigation
Simi Valley is in mourning this week after a fatal officer-involved shooting on Dusan Street, and the California Department of Justice has stepped in to lead the investigation. Under a state law requiring independent review when an unarmed civilian is killed by police, the California Police Shooting Investigation Team (CaPSIT) arrived on scene July 21. As reported by the Simi Valley Acorn, this move aims to ensure transparency and accountability for our community. For neighbors in the 805, this isn't just a headline — it's a moment that touches our shared sense of safety and trust. While details remain limited, the DOJ's involvement signals a serious, impartial look at what happened. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected, and we'll keep you updated as more information comes to light.
