Why Can’t Smart Cars Look Normal
Filed Under Rants | 3 Comments
I saw my first Smart car today in Santa Clarita and while I hate saying this (because I know everyone wants to be all green and all) but I really hate the way they look.
I did find it funny that there’s a gas guzzling Ford Expedition in the background.

Taking Out Your Wisdom Teeth
Filed Under Resources | Leave a Comment
This is not something anyone looks forward to. On Monday I took my daughter to get all four of her’s removed because they were impacted. Impacted is a bad word when it comes to wisdom teeth.
At any rate, I didn’t really know who to take her to and I had to call Blue Shield and get a list of providers. I chose David Baker, D.D.S. Honestly, the reason I chose him initially was I liked his name. That was it. I mean I had a list of about 8 oral surgeons and for whatever reason David Baker sounded like he’d be nice.
So I called and spoke with Virginia there who was so very helpful and made me feel at ease.
So we went for the initial consultation to the office which is located on Cinema Drive in the brand new medical building where the movie theater used to be. For starters, the office is beautiful.
We met with Dr. Baker and he made my daughter feel comfortable right away by telling her what was going to happen without going into too much detail (thankfully).
So the day came. Last Monday we went and the whole thing took about 1 hour. I left there with the meds for her in a bag which was great because then I didn’t have to deal with going to a pharmacy. Her recovery is going just as he said. She feels fine today, just a little swollen.
So if you are in the same boat as I was. Not knowing who to call. Give Dr. Baker a try.
His office is located at 23501 Cinema Drive Suite 111 661-799-0700.

Election Day 4-8-08
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Tomorrow is Election Day in Santa Clarita. Tuesday 4-8-08!
It’s not a major election like the one this November, however the results will impact you. Whether you know it or not.
If you think your vote doesn’t matter, you couldn’t be more wrong. In a city council election the winner can be determined by a small amount of votes, so just do it. Vote. It’ll be quick and painless. I’d be willing to bet that the majority of SCV residents don’t vote so chances are there will be no line at the polling place.

Not sure who to vote for? Well, here’s all I’m gonna say about that.
If you’re tired of the same people having all the control and you want some common sense added to our city council…two words…Laurie Ender!
As I think back at some of the stupid things that happened in our city over the past year like the back in parking in Newhall and the consideration of changing the name of Magic Mountain Parkway to Auto Center Drive, I just don’t think these things would’ve seen the light of day with Laurie Ender on the council. She’s the candidate that I believe is most like me. A mom in Santa Clarita that just wants the best for my kids and everyone else’s.
Still not convinced? I’ll leave you with this letter to the editor that was in the Signal the other day. In case you missed it.
By Cindi Johnson, Valencia
To The Editor:
It’s stunning that The Signal continues to miss the story behind Laurie Ender’s remarkable campaign to be elected to City Council on April 8. It’s being funded and fueled in part by a group of people who have never donated or voted as part of a city election.
