No surprise Chicago lost
It's not a great surprise that Chicago didn't get the Olympics. According to Forbes, it is the third worst of the most miserable cities in the U.S., listed as such in part due to the high rate of corruption in state and local government.
Vote for Valdes
I would like to tell you why to vote for Linda Valdes for Hart School Board on Nov. 3. Ms. Valdes is active in our community and led an effort for $300 million for funding for Castaic High.

What a disappointment the Festival of the Arts was in Downtown Newhall Oct. 3-4. It's certainly not like the days when it was on Town Center Drive. As a group, we were looking forward to the event, but the caliber of artists and the staging of the event left much to be desired.
Noltemeyer owes an apology
I have just finished reading "What an 'uninformed and irresponsible' column" (The Signal, Oct. 5) written by P. Michael Freeman, Los Angeles County fire chief in response to Cam Noltemeyer's offending "Buyer beware in fire country" commentary (The Signal, Sept. 24).
