Steve Lunetta: My Republican New Year's resolutions
At the end of every year, I think about resolutions that I should pursue in the coming year. It is a time for reflection and evaluation. What went well in 2008? What did not?
Anti-virus, Take 2
As a counterpoint to Joe Messina's answers to questions regarding anti-virus and e-mail, unfortunately Joe is recommending products he also sells and services.

Latke chefs cook up some tradition
Are you a flour chef or a matzo meal chef? It was Valencia resident David Gold - the traditional matzo meal chef - who made the tastiest potato pancakes Sunday at Congregation Beth Shalom's Latke Throwdown. Dozens of latke sizzled on the grills as the sun set on the eighth and final day of Hanukkah. "There's some fierce competition," said Arleen Gold, who served on the panel of judges. "That girl over there is serious. ...
The Signal.com's Daybreak: Dec. 29, 2008
Hello, Santa Clarita Valley! Welcome to The-Signal.com's Daybreak, your point of entry for the day, and a quick journey through the past, present and future. Let the adventure begin:
In the rank of eagles
On Saturday, Oct. 4, three local Boy Scouts, Jonathan Sprott, John Kasum and Benjamin Kasum were elevated to the rank of Eagle, becoming part of an elite group that has produced many great leaders.
Government charity starts at home
As we grow older, none of us can be certain we won't find ourselves at some point needing assistance to help us pay the rent, mortgage, utility bill, medical bill or some other bills that come up. Senior members among us are struggling to do just these things. Many are on fixed incomes. Others simply don't have the means to meet the basic needs.
UPDATED: Making history at SCV Sheriff's Station

West Ranch students shocked by Vasquez suicide
West Ranch High School students reacted with a mixture of shock and dismay at the news of the death of Jeremiah Lasater, the 14-year-old freshman who committed suicide in a boys' bathroom at Vasquez High School Oct. 20.
Prop. 8 opponents intolerant?
For the second night in a row, our "Yes On Prop. 8" yard signs have been stolen from our front yard. I find it very hypocritical that the liberal groups that support gay marriage call people who vote for traditional family values "intolerant," when they themselves don't allow for free speech when it disagrees with their views.
Prop. 8 opponents oppose free speech
Wow! So this is where we are in our society? Last night my "Yes on 8" yard sign was stolen from my front yard. This doesn't surprise me, however, given the type of people that would not support Prop. 8. If Prop. 8 is defeated, then this is just a glimpse of the suppression of free speech to come. You can be sure that B. Hussein Obama and the rest of the "Dims" will try ...
Save money with Measure S
When you vote, remember one of the most important local votes, Measure S. This will mandate removal of the "old-style" water softeners and will help homeowners and businesses avoid huge costs. Only about 10 percent of homes have not taken the rebates and keep the old softeners. Yet unless we remove these chloride pollution sources, we could be forced to install a "brine line" to the ocean. That is estimated to cost every home $500 ...
Performance vs. control
I have a passion for flying. There is something exhilarating and comforting in the freedom that comes from escaping the bonds of Earth and climbing to heights where the air is cleaner and one's perspective is broader. I also relish the "yin-yang" nature of the freedom to maneuver in three dimensions balanced with the need to exercise discipline and respect for the laws of physics and aerodynamics to fly precisely and safely. A pilot has ...
