Boundary changes unjustified
I do not believe The Signal properly informed its readers of the true circumstances regarding the boundary changes adopted at the Sept. 16 Hart School District board meeting ("Hart board approves teacher contract," Sept. 17).
'New' China Palace
Tuesday, Sept. 1, marked the resurrection of the China Palace Restaurant on Lyons Avenue. About a month earlier it looked like this venerable fixture of Newhall's culinary diversity might cease to exist. Amazingly, a former waitress, Jenny Ko, was able to buy the restaurant and reopen it with improved luncheon buffet facilities and an improved flavor-filled menu. In a time when businesses and restaurants in particular are falling on hard economic times, it is truly ...
Obama's speech OK
It is absolutely mind-boggling to me that here in America, our school systems and media can be so heavily influenced by fear-mongering and hatred. In virtually every other country on this planet, if a leader has a speech to give, the speech is available to citizens of that country to hear.
Darkow cartoon disgusting
I see by the Sept. 17 political cartoon in the Opinion section, cartoonist John Darkow works the same way the Democratic Party does. When you cannot dispute the argument, use the race card. It's nothing less than an insult to all Americans. Disgusting.
Offshore wind mix-up
In the Sept. 21 edition ("Firefighters gear up for hot, dry week"), reporter Jessica Selva seems to have misunderstood her source from the National Weather service. She quotes Stuart Sevo as saying, "Offshore winds generally originate from the ocean, travel over the mountains and settle into the valleys."

‘America’s Got Talent’ disappointment
What a disappointment at the finals of "America's Got Talent." Even the way they worded it is not right. It should be "Americans Have Talent" or "America Has Got Talent." Since when does a country have talent? The voters for sure don't have talent in voting. They lack sensitivity, refinement and appreciation for quality talent. The voters did not vote for the best talent. It seemed like they played the sympathy card. The same thing ...
Senior health care at risk
I am convinced that President Obama has not read the health bill up for consideration in the House. I have not. It is just too large.
