Oswegatchie!
I was amused to read the article under "Watercooler Talk" (The Signal, June 24) about the town of Oswegatchie, in upstate New York.

	Ray doesn’t get it In response to Frank Ray's letter on June 14, "Question of trust," he challenged anyone to prove the existence of God.
	Long way to equality A letter I wrote regarding Proposition 8 ran in The Signal on June 23 ("Prop. 8 illegal").
	Republican lies wearing thin When you read some of the letters to the editor printed in The Signal and the Republican rants consider this:
	Tortured logic It was clear to me that Democratic Voices' Diana Shaw was a lawyer long before I came to that disclosure at the end of her opinion piece on legal ethics ("The tortured logic of John Yoo," The Signal, June 16).
	How to submit a Letter to The Editor We encourage you to share your thoughts and comment on stories and local opinion published by The Signal by writing a Letter to The Editor.
	State priorities off I am concerned that our state's priorities are messed up. I see and read all the things that have been cut because our state is in crisis.
	Health care confusion It's ridiculous for grown men and women to say: "I want to be able to choose from hundreds of cereals at the supermarket, thousands of movies from Netflix, millions of songs on iTunes - but I want a ‘single-payer, universal' government to choose for me when it comes to my health care."
	Water softener rules now consistent In response to the editorial column by Senator George Runner ("Do as I say, not as I do," The Signal, June 28):
	Bridgeport still a deadly place for ducks Last year, I wrote a letter to the editor about my concerns regarding the Bridgeport Marketplace water feature in relation to the Bridgeport habitat (“Think about wildlife’s needs before you build,” The Signal, Oct. 3, 2008).
	Obama hater; city logo What amazes and surprises me is not so much the ignorant, unpatriotic and ultra-conservative letter comparing Obama to Hitler (“Sound familiar?” May 8), it’s the fact that The Signal would print such a letter.
	Priorities wrong I see that Dick Ramirez, in "Not the way to go," and Steven Brooks, "California crisis solvable" (both in Opinion, Letters June 19), feel that their particular spending priorities should be California's priorities, even to the point of raising, again, the already overwhelmingly high taxes on the people and businesses of California.
	Hypocrites unite Oh, wait a minute, you already are united. You're the constant and consistent haranguers bemoaning the lack of acceptance of diverse ideas as you summarily dismiss as marginal what most Americans hold as a value system steeped in tradition, efficacy and history. Out of one side of your mouths you malign others who do not agree with your point(s) of view and/or who have the audacity to publicly profess their right to disagree and hold ...
	Unloading civil rights The woods are burning, and the Mensa members in Sacramento are occupied with really important problems like the size of the font on name tags and growing blueberries.
	Note to Class of '09 Graduating from high school is really the beginning of a new phase of your life. As you become more independent, you become more in control of your life, you get to make more decisions. I hope you have a good personality, stamina and ability to adapt, a sense of humor, intellectual curiosity and parents who will support your adventures as you navigate through life. God has got your back. And sometimes you find out what ...
	Liberals don't get it In response to Dick Ramirez' "Not the way to go" and Steven Brooks' "California crisis solvable" letters to the editor (Opinion, June 19), it seems that liberals have all the answers to our complex issues.
	Tiny’s large legacy The passing of Wayne King, known to many as Tiny, owner of the submarine shop on Camp Plenty in Canyon Country, is so saddening.
	SCV businesses should think competitively While spending $5.2 million to urge local residents to "Think Santa Clarita Valley" when shopping ("Council says ‘Think SCV,'" April 29), I hope the City Council also urges local business to do their part in being competitive.
	Save money on A.C. Last summer, we were immediately able to save more than $150 a month in air-conditioning bills instantly and affordably.
	Miss daily ‘Doonesbury’ It is with great dismay that I open my Signal every day (except Sunday) to find that you continue to omit the latest episode of Doonesbury from your comics page.
	Shop local project Save your local economy, three stores at a time. The 3/$50 project is a noble cause many people are not aware of. As owner of Capelli Salon in Old Town Newhall, I have chosen to participate in this program. It is sad to notice people still giving the large chain salons like Supercuts or the department store salons their hard-earned dollars in an effort to save money. All this is doing is hurting our local ...
	Kudos to Kellar Dear Councilman Kellar: I want to thank you and all of the Santa Clarita City Council members for your bold and courageous move to include "In God We Trust" in our city logo. On March 30, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation establishing a National Fast Day in which he expressed our nation's need for God's help. He eloquently appealed to the American people to "recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures ...
	Health care not funny The Republican health care proposal is a bad joke with no punch line. The health care insurance companies are leeching away at people’s life savings all to increase their CEO’s profit margins.
	A little history Lois Woodruff employs the peculiar Republican-base logic of Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh to suggest that political dissenters don’t belong in the Santa Clarita Valley (“Don’t like it? Move,” The Signal, Letters, June 17).
	VIA B2B huge success We want to say thank you to the Valley Industrial Association for initiating and executing a great opportunity for local businesses to reach out and do business with each other.
	Challenge for Ray This letter is in response to the one written by Frank Ray (“Question of trust,” The Signal, June 14).
	Boys & Girls thank McKeon The Boys & Girls Club of the Santa Clarita Valley wants to thank Congressman Buck McKeon for submitting the SCV Committee on Aging’s transit bus request to be included in the upcoming Surface Transportation Act.
	Bush-inspired Iran election One of former President George Bush’s major goals was to bring American-style democracy to the Muslim world.
	Serious fun Three years ago we started a major transformation, improving service, security and attractions throughout Six Flags Magic Mountain. Our ongoing improvements means Six Flags Magic Mountain can continue to deliver the very best value in family entertainment — and more fun.
	Prop. 8 illegal June 16 was the first anniversary of the day that same-sex couples could legally be married in California.
