Today’s word is “Boondoggle.” Simply stated, it is “an expensive program that is a waste of money, esp. one using public money.” (Cambridge on-line dictionary) And that brings us to the upcoming neighborhood council elections. From the moment that the Cleghorn machine found that they could no longer run, the boondoggle started. I guess if you call no publication of the candidate filing dates a mistake, you’re oblivious to the idea of narrowing the field of eligible candidates down to almost nothing as a ploy of keeping the good ol’ boys and girls in power. Then we have first VP candidate Nina Royal passing out “Vote for me” flyers 2 weeks before the filing date. Now that’s not illegal, but it is uneth-
ical. And if nothing else, Ms. Royal is unethical. Hell, I don’t mind her passing herself off as an “editorpublisher” of a nonexistent newspaper, but I really do not like her jumping into the election fray before anyone else. Now don’t get me wrong: I don’t dislike the STNC — I just don’t like how it’s been run for the past six years. Insider deals, minor corruption, flat-out lies, and pissing off our councilman. And that’s just for starters. I can’t point out anything of any value that our council has actually done to help the community. OK, so yes, they bailed out the Rotary and Chamber of Commerce who ran out of money, and we do need the 4th of July events to keep our citizens happy. There is nothing else that brings them together here now that we lost the Watermelon Festival.
Oh, did I mention that most of the council board are also involved with the chamber? Hmm, well maybe next time. This is a great little community that is having growing pains because we don’t have any real leadership, at least none that can’t be bought for a two-bit certificate of appreciation. The real workers here are those who you see out on the streets doing clean-up or beautification. And they don’t get any help from the officers. I don’t understand why they just don’t put down their shovels and their paint brushes and rebel. Maybe it’s because the Cleghorn machine is too slimy and underhanded/ Yes, boys and girls, this is going to be an interesting election. New power groups have risen and are going to make a run for it.

The Flu Bug: Don’t Touch Porn Stars, Celebrities or Politicians Rock in a Free World Where have people’s hands been? When you shake hands with someone at church, the grocery store or a restaurant what kind of germs are they carrying? I once shook hands with Hillary Clinton and my wife told me to immediately go and wash my hands. She reminded me that her hands had been on Bill Clinton and that I wasn’t touching her until I washed my hands. Think about the people with whom you shake hands. Would you shake hands with Harvey Weinstein? What kind of serious offensive disease might you contact? Would you shake hands with Anthony Weiner? What about Bill Cosby? Kathy Griffin? Now our President has been accused of having an affair with a porn star
a few years back. There are reports she is starting up a tour to parade herself around the country naked to make money from the allegations. Have the President’s hands been on a porn star? What happened to the $130,000 hush money that was allegedly paid to her? The truth about hush money is there is no such thing as hush money. If someone is trying to blackmail you there is no such thing as paying somebody to keep quiet because eventually they tell everything they know. How many people have come out in the last couple of years talking about stuff they had received money to keep quiet about? Several. They didn’t keep quiet and I bet they spent the money. What about our elected politicians? They lie to us all the time. They lie about how they want to help us. They lie to us about how much they
care. They lie about where the money comes from and where it’s going. They make any promise under the sun for your vote. Do you really want to shake hands with these people? What kind of crud are they carrying? Today would be a good day to take a break from shaking hands and hugging strangers - at least through about April. Simply put - you don’t need the flu or the crud that is going around this country. My wife and I visited a church last week down the street and about 25 people shook hands with us. This was very nice of course. People like to feel welcomed when visiting a church. Many churches have what they call fellowship time when people turn around and shake hands with those around them. Many people enjoy this and greeting people they know or meeting new people. Unfortunately this time of year you
could be shaking hands with death. Germs can be contacted anywhere. From the grocery store cart to sitting next to people at sporting events or the movie theatre there are germs. Few people want to lock themselves in the house with disinfecting wipes or cans of Lysol. On the other hand nobody enjoys what comes with the Flu. Almost everyday that I turn on the news one of the top three leading stories is about somebody dying from the flu or the hospitals being overrun with sick people. So far this year 30 children have died from influenza. Last season 110 children died. Every year according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention 12,000 to 49,000 people will die from influenza. Seven hundred thousand people could end up in the hospital according to CDC. So many see Bug, page 8

One Word to Get Extra Benefits
by Ed Castellanos
Ask Rusty: AMAC-Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor by
Dear Rusty: I keep receiving emails from different investor groups about “The one word that will get you an extra $570 per month in social security”, which I could use. Of course they want you to buy all sorts of monthly newsletters in order to get their answer. Is there truly a way to get an extra $570 per month and if so how do I go about getting it, or what is “the word”? Signed, Curious Dear Curious: I’m sure you’ve heard the old adage “If it sounds too good to be true - it is”. I have seen the solicitation you’re speaking of, and I’ve seen many other similar “come-on’s” which are always meant to lure you into buying something in return for revealing a secret way to get more from Social Security. The reality is this: There isn’t any magical “one word” that will give you an extra benefit, unless that word is “delay”, meaning if you can delay applying for Social Security your benefit amount will be larger. And that’s because your benefit amount increases with each month you delay up until you reach age 70 when it will reach its maximum. Simply put, the more you delay the larger your benefit will be, and that’s certainly no secret. You’ll often see another tempting and mysterious phrase referred to as “FAASF” an acronym for “file as a spouse first” - which refers to an option called the Restricted Application for Spousal Benefits Only. This option, which allows a person to file only for spousal benefits

Movie Review: 12 Strong Mitch Nelson (Chris Hemsworth) is the leader, an inexperienced operative who gets the mission because he understands that someone more experienced is going to be lost in such uncharted territory. Cal Spencer (Michael Shannon) is a veteran who turns down the chance to retire to serve on the mission. Sam Diller (Michael Peña) is one of the more likeable members of the team, a good-humored family man played by Peña with his usual charm. Ben Milo (Travante Rhodes) has a subplot where he bonds with a child assigned to protect him. Other U.S. military figures include Col. John Mulholland (William Fichtner), there to provide Nelson with inspiration, and Lt. Col. Max Bowers, played by soldier-turned-actor Rob Riggle, who actually served under Bowers. Those are the faces you’ll recognize, anyway. The truth is that the most interesting character in this movie is one who’s barely been emphasized in the film’s advertising. Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum (Navid Negahban) is a resource-rich local warlord that Nelson needs to befriend if he wants
to complete the mission. Dostum is the kind of guy who won’t let you know he speaks English unless he decides you’re worthy of knowing that he speaks English. As expected, he’s very hesitant to work with Americans, but fortunately he’s determined to wipe out the Taliban at all costs. He’s got a grudge against the local Taliban leader and taunts him personally a few times. It’s very important to Dostum that he be the one to sack the city at the heart of the mission, and he’s conflicted when it looks like the mission might be a success without the spoils going to him. Dostum is able to provide Nelson and his men with transportation in the form see 12 Strong, page 9

He is survived by his son Mark Kadlec, his daughter Kimberly Graves, and his grandchildren Danielle Kadlec, Simon Moon, Nicole Burgard, and Isabella Sagrero. Al was a lifetime resident of the Foothill areas. He loved hot rods, pretty women, dancing, his family, and God most of all. Al ran several successful businesses in his life, but was most proud of his work as a street pastor, ministering to the local homeless populations. His passion was sharing the word of God and his ideals on nutrition, health and healing.

Kurtles attacked another S-T resident John Clausen and yelled “I’m going to go get my gun and shoot you.” Luckily for Clausen, Curtles was thrown out of the Crow’s Nest bar & grill. Sonia Tatulian is known on the street as “Lie, Cheat & Steal Tatulian” and has long conducted a campaign of harassment against a number of local businesses, business people, and being where money disappeared. She uses editor Eddie Rivera to publish false news stories in her newspaper, the Foothill Record. Rivera is very good at taking one minor truth and creating 5 major lies. Recently, Tatulian has amassed a cadre of misfits under the direction of unemployed handyman Curtles Koesler to create a reign of terror and vandalism against The Foothills Paper and the SunlandTujunga community. Tatullian is best known for her screaming, ranting and raving against those who don’t do her bidding. In a recent escapade, Tatullian ran around screaming that The Foothills Paper had published a pornographic photo of her. Some local shops and
businesses, including the DIY hardware store banned Tatulian’s newspaper from their shop. Unfortunately for Tatullian’s credibility, there is no evidence that DeMulle’ had anything to do with the card that she mailed out to all the auto repair shops in Sunland-Tujunga or to the greeting card with the “mysterious pink powder – that looked and smelled a lot like strawberry Kool-Aid. Tatulian is a member of the Sunland-Tujunga Chamber of Commerce and has caused so much dissention that even the Armenian members have fled. It is unknown how Tatullian can afford to publish her newspaper, after having declared bankruptcy and living on the welfare money she gets for taking care of her father. A number of advertisers have withdrawn their ads from her paper, and others, loyal to the Armenian culture, are being given their ads for free. Tatulian’s papers are often tossed into trash bins upon their delivery by business owners angered by her erratic behavior and biased news coverage. The Foothill Record is banned from ALL Subway shops when she was caught stealing The Foothills Paper.

Schiff Urges U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Stop Using Roundup in the Los Angeles River Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) sent a letter to Colonel Kirk E. Gibbs urging the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to end the use of glyphosate (Roundup) as part of its Los Angeles District vegetation management plan in the Los Angeles River. “Over the past year I have heard from numerous constituents and community organizations with concerns over public safety given the USACE’s use of glyphosate in the Los Angeles River,” Schiff wrote in the letter. “Local and state agencies have also seen the potential risks from human exposure to this chemical and have limited or banned its use. “I once again urge the USACE to end its use of products containing glyphosate as

We respect their privacy.” This Homeless Survey is important to the City of Los Angeles and to Sunland- Tujunga in that when the figures are tallied, it determines the amount of federal funds that will come to Los Angeles to help resolve the homeless situation, create housing or provide services.

All volunteers were given maps with specific areas mapped out for them to conduct their count. The last Homeless Survey was conducted in 2017 with great fanfare and little positive results.

thors concluded that a possible association exists between glyphosate and acute myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer. Given the high density of residences in close proximity or immediately adjacent to the LAR corridor, the USACE must err on the side of human health and public safety, as well as accede to the wishes of state and local authorities.

STARS The paperback version will be coming out this next weekend. Just think: seven years of crime and corruption by people we know and love(?). People that have torn our community apart for their own personal gain. Where the bodies were found, where the bodies were moved to, where the bodies that weren’t even reported ended up. Police cover-ups (awaiting confirmation by our legal advisers on how much we can show and say.) Did you know that there were gangland hit squads attackingg the homeless? Do you know how many homeless were killed and the area set afire to cover it up? Corruption is CD7’s middle name. Read about how our council-members raped the system and what the NC did to stop it. Yes, boys & girls, “you can’t tell the players without the STARS!” ** Note, this is a larger version than the Kindle.” Rave reviews are flowing in from the mentally challenged demanding that the book be stopped. Not since the Pentagon Papers has there been a book like this!
