Oscar Dominguez: Know, protect your credit score
In this competitive credit market, it's all the more important for Santa Clarita Valley residents to have a good credit score. Your credit score affects your candidacy for a loan and the interest rate and terms you receive on a loan.

The perks of being a drama student
Joining the Placerita Theatre Arts Program was one of the best choices I have made. It is a program that gives all the kids who join a chance to be whoever they want and be accepted for who they really are. Where else could you be a talking duck, a talk show host, an evil cat or a robber of Elvis' hair? Our drama club meets after school from 2:35 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. every ...
No stimulus money
Santa Clarita should not go after stimulus money. With all due respect to my friend Ken Pulskamp, I must forcefully disagree with the decision that the city has made to pursue money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Bush warning unheeded

Embryonic stem-cell research has not cured anything and has no current human trials, simply because the method so far has only produced tumors in animals. Yet, President Barack Obama has, by executive order, fulfilled his campaign promise to lift the ban on federally funded embryonic stem-cell research.
Shrink government
I hope you politicians that approved the tax hike never receive another vote from an honest member of the Society of California Voters.
Cemex, take six?
I read in Tuesday's paper (March 10) that "everything is right on track" (on the Cemex legislation front), according to Lindsey Mask, spokeswoman for Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon.
What would you invent?
First place If I were a scientist, I would invent one thing and one thing only. I would invent a fast cloning device that could clone anything, and it would have the same everything as the first one. Say it was a person - once you cloned it, it would have the same personality, the same brain, and everything else. I would invent it so I could be at more than one place at a ...
Locks of love
I am currently an eighth-grade student at Rio Norte Junior High School. Last September, I heard on the morning announcements during homeroom that the Resourceful River Hawks Community Service Club was having their first meeting of the year at lunch time.

Jim Mullen: Village Idiot
I know there are couples who enjoy cooking together and make it look like a well-rehearsed ballet. They savor the aroma of their secret recipe for wild salmon over lemon couscous, stir each other's soups and sample each other's sauces.
