Motorcyclist didn’t watch traffic while lane-splitting. by
David DeMullé
It’s called motorcycle lanesplitting — and when “AB 51” passed in the California Assembly on May 28, it was made it legal. Loved by riders and frustrated by drivers, the act of driving between slowly moving cars like they do in European countries is now
legalized in California and is now going through the Senate where supporters of the bill show their strength. The motorcycle lanesplitting which allows riders to avoid traffic congestion is a double sided sword said one rider. “Yes, we can go through the lanes when the ‘cages’ are see Lane-splitting, page 2

My Two Cents
Folded Socks
Summer is approaching, the time of year when we’ll be subjected to men wearing socks with sandals. I’m convinced these men don’t own a mirror. Some men always wear socks, whether or not they should. Some people never wear socks even when they should, like working out at the gym and sweating profusely. I’ll see somebody at the gym, running on the treadmill with sweat dripping down their back, their legs and into their sneakers. Without socks to absorb the moisture the sneaker becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. In this situation a man needs to wear a sock. There are two types of people when it comes to folding socks: those who fold socks into a ball and those who fold socks in half. When it comes to the sock drawer you have two types of people: those who toss the socks in Willey Nilley and those who organize the drawer. I fold rather than roll and I organize according to the seasons. Wintertime my heavy, long socks are front and center. Summertime my ankle height sport socks are front and center. My peds are side-by-side my sport socks. My sport socks are in two piles – lightweight and heavy
duty cotton. My winter socks are also divided into two piles – warm, woolen socks that I usually wear around the house and my trouser socks that I wear with dress pants when going out. Then I have Christmas socks which are grouped in the winter section. When it comes to putting on socks and shoes, once again there are two types of people. You have the person who puts on sock, sock, shoe, shoe. And you have the person who puts on sock, shoe, sock, shoe. I usually put on sock, shoe, sock, shoe. But, sometimes as I’m lacing up I think if my house suddenly caught fire I’d be forced to run into the street with one sock and shoe on, making running hard to do. Being off balance would impede the pace at which I’d be able to flee from the house. Yet, if I had on sock, sock, I would be able to flee easily and seek safety. Sometimes I think if I forgot the socks and just wore sneakers then not only could I run from house fire, but I could run quickly. I could run all the way to the gym if I wanted to, jump on the treadmill and become one of those people who make me wonder why they don’t wear socks. Now that I think about it, it all makes sense.

Lane-splitting, from pg. 1 stuck, but we also risk some person opening his door, or in frustration squeezing us into another car. Until now, we really didn’t have any recourse in court.” The bill allows motorcycles to travel between cars up to 10 mph faster than the flow of traffic up to 30 mph. In Sunland-Tujunga, there is least one if not more

motorcycle traffic accidents a month. Fortunately, we have only had three fatalities in the past three years. Some of the bill’s backers feel that letting the riders go down the traffic lanes actually is safer for them based on traffic statistics that show that three-fourths of the cycle accidents are attributed to cars not seeing them causing rear-end collisions. “Lane-splitting is dangerous,” said Thomas Freeman,
a passionate opponent of the practice who said his opposition movement, hosted online at stoplanesplitting.com, has more than 1,000 members. Lane-splitting was called “Lane Sharing” when I was growing up riding motorcycles and although neither legal or illegal, no one ever stopped us. Riding a bike is inherently dangerous and exhilarating at the same time. This law just makes it legal.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE! And I have the best of all worlds. As I was leaving the High Speed Rail (HSR) community meeting today, I was mulling over some of the photos I took. All the elected officials, the board members, the representatives from our STNC, concerned citizens and of course Kurt Koesler, who spent most of the meeting hiding behind a handful of fliers. But everybody else was having a great time. It’s fun being a photographer and a lot better being an editor that everybody wants to cover their stories. Hell, I’ve even got my own paparazzi following behind me taking pictures. There was even a “I hate the foothills paper” site dedicated to showing the world how stupid people can be. I was talking to one group of people at the last HSR community meeting and one person said “I see you everywhere! How do you do it?” Well boys and girls, after 10 and a half years of shit-kicking,
just about anyone who is interested in what is happening in the foothills region knows about The Foothills Paper. I just realized that I get at least one call from the business community each week (if not more) asking, “How can they get people to shop in their shops?” And these are real people, not sock-puppets. So it actually made me think about what is not quite right about being here. We’ll forget the histrionics of Robin Meares and the absolute flat-out lies of the social clubs and anyone involved with Sonia Tatulian. WHAT WE DON’T HAVE HERE IS A STRONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE! There, I’ve said it. We need a chamber of commerce that will work hand-inhand with our local businesses. And that means that we the people, we the business owners, have got to join and make it something that people respect. What we have done is get pissed off at the past chamber leaders and instead of

ROCK taking back control, we’ve just done nothing. I was invited to a grand opening of MedEx last week and it was wonderful. People from all walks of life and ethnicities were there having fun and meeting the new owner. That’s what we’re supposed to be doing. Working with our local businesses to make our community a truly great place to live and shop in. We shouldn’t tolerate third-rate fast food shops. We should demand quality both in our lives and where we shop. Sunland-Tujunga is unique in the composition of who lives here.
We have new shops opening like The Artisyn Gallery and Coffee Shop. We have Cauruso’s Steak House and the Shawarma House. We have great places to go. Soon we will have the Summerfest where we can take our kids and forget the world’s troubles for a couple of days. Yes, we have the chance to enjoy ourselves and have some family fun. Things really are good here, we just have to know where to look. And yes, boys and girls, maybe it’s time to enjoy our community and stop saying, “It’s The Water!”

Dear Editor, Thank you for covering the HSR event last week. Although there weren’t many people from the community, it really was a successful opportunity to meet with the HSR representatives and ask questions. I didn’t even know about the meeting until I saw it in your paper. I make it a point to read all the local papers because they are so diverse. Yours seems to have all the important information. Whatever happened between you and Nina Royal? She was a real firecracker when it came to police news. And I just saw Eddy Rivera’s name in the Record. Didn’t he use to work for you also? There are a lot of peoples’ names that I recognize. Were you running a school back then? Anyway, I really like your slant on life and WHO is this guy Jim Laris? I can’t remember laughing so hard when I read his piece. Keep up the good work.

Is it Actually The VICE of the Village? Dear Editor, I live on a fixed income and the only pleasure in my life is going to Starbucks on Foothill to drink my coffee and read the newspapers there. I buy a cup of coffee there every two weeks and refill it with my own coffee so they won’t think that I’m a freeloader. But to make it short, I was enjoying the LA Times when I saw this man come in and put a stack of The Voice on top of your newspapers. Now that isn’t right. No one could see that your papers were even there. I think it’s disgusting for them to do that to your papers. Don’t they have any ethics at all? I put your papers back on top of the pile. I love The Paper. DJ

This school year has just flown by! I can’t believe the kids are out of school in two weeks! If you’re like me, you may have just realized how close we are to the end of the school year. And you’re realizing that the kids are going to be out of school…. all day long! If you haven’t made summer plans for your kids yet, it’s not too late. Families have different reasons for looking for summer camp. It may be because parents are working. It may be because they want their kids to have something fun to do over the summer. Or it may be because they would like them to have more learning experiences – something that helps them do better in school next year. Over the years, many families have found the summer camp at Time to Explore to meet their needs in all three areas. Time to Explore is a fully licensed child development center. The staff has an educational background that helps them provide fun age appropriate activities for the students who range in age from kindergarten to middle school. Background checks include clearance by the FBI, the Child Abuse Index and the Department of Justice. The staff is also fully trained in CPR and first aid. The center offers a full day program (open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.) as well as a full time and part time schedule (less than five days a week). Students can attend all summer or for just a few weeks. As a licensed
It’s a big world; make Time To Explore it! center, there is always at least one adult per fourteen students – students are well supervised but not “babysat”. Each week there is a different theme as well as a field trip (which are generally included in the price of tuition). The themes are generally focused on some aspect of nature (like geology, conservation, or the ocean). The activities throughout the week expand on the topic. The goal is to provide good information in a hands on way that makes it fun and exciting. The kids want to learn more. And they have time to be with their friends and just be kids! The director has more than 20 years experience helping children and adults learn about the natural world as a volunteer at a county nature center. The center is owned by a local Sunland resident who is feels that it’s important that the students learn about their own area (like the foothills, the local history, and the river). The center does not take any field trips to amusement parks as they feel that these are wonderful places for students to visit with their
parents. During the summer, students can lose some of the academic skills they have worked so hard on during the school year. At Time to Explore, a small portion of the day is dedicated to keeping their academic skills sharp. The staff has extensive experience helping students understand and apply their knowledge to their homework. School teachers say that the first few weeks of school are spent reviewing the prior year. Even just a little time spent every day on school type work such as reading and math, during the summer can really help a student be more prepared for the next grade level. Summer enrollment is now open but space is limited and filling up fast. The rates are very reasonable considering the qualifications of the staff and the high quality of the program. They are open full day beginning Friday, June 5 through Monday, August 17. The center’s Web site is located at http://www. timetoexplore@vpweb.com or you can call them at (818) 951-2338.

Barley Risotto With Mushrooms
Who’d a thought you could make an excellent risotto with barley? Barley is a versatile cereal grain with a rich nutlike flavor and an appealing chewy, pastalike consistency. It is the perfect substitute for Arborio rice in risotto. It is touted as one of the world’s healthiest foods having an abundance of manganese, magnesium, selenium, copper, chromium, Vitamins B1 and B3, and fiber.* Although this recipe looks like a lot of work, it is actually fairly easy to make. Once you prep the ingredients, you throw them into a slow cooker, walk away, and let the cooker do it’s magic.

New World Art (Part 2 of 3 parts) Artists are so individual and have individual views of the world, not everyone will comprehend work artists create. I am not going to spend time on the art of the past. It has been well documented and is there for anyone willing to take to time to search for themselves. Creating art was and still is today a solitary endeavor. It takes thought, intelligence, perseverance and diligence. At least that was so in my day. While art is still being done “the old fashioned way”, there is less and less interest and understanding for it. As with many aspects of life, we have pushed out the old for the new. Slowly my generation is aging and passing on, leaving a legacy of ignorance about what came before. Buildings constructed to house great works of the past are no longer fashionable or in vogue. We don’t turn to what was as much as we used to do. While it may seem I digress, we no longer listen to our “artistic” elders. Of course, life has changed much, what our elders knew and believed no longer applies today in the minds of the young. True, older people are not so savvy when it comes to the new technology. What they believed, and how they lived a simpler life also doesn’t apply anymore in many cases. Which brings me to the art of today. Art began to change after World War ll. Kids today don’t remember the times after WWII. In fact, that war is fading memory.
America was on top of its game then. Industry, new gadget, time savers and technology was going to make our lives easier. Television was invented and not to spend too much time here, we progressed faster in technology than in any time in our history. Along with new inventions, art also changed. We wanted new and improved art. Out with the old and in with the new. Ideas concerning what art is have changed. Our intent in making art also changed. Artists were experimenting with new ideas. In fact, if it had anything to do with what came before, it was looked upon as out of date. Artists looked to the future, not the past. New movements were invented that reflected the time. Fauvist art, Abstract Expressionist, Cubism, Conceptual art, Dadaism, Expressionism, Folk Art, Minimalism, Photorealism, Surrealism, Drip art, Pop Art, Op Art, you name it. The field was wide open. Art no longer had an esthetic. It was no longer refined. And it no longer looked like anything we had seen before. Anything and everything was fair game to be called “art”. We were living in the Wild West again and with no Sheriff. We purposely destroyed all semblance of what came before for the sake of “The New. Along with this “new art” we lost the idea of what real art was; art we grew up with; art of what we referred to then as MASTERFUL.
The Saddles For Soldiers (SFS) non-profit is an integral part of the Shadow Hills/La Cañada community. It has provided treatment for symptoms of PTSD and TBI for America’s service members. SFS is also providing cost free therapy and transitional housing to any and all veterans regardless of the time in which they served to this country. The Shadow Hills Equestrian Center is the host for Saddles For Soldiers and is a PATH--accredited premier facility, one of only two in the greater L.A. area. I, Casey L Gray, am a 100% disabled Veteran and I have had the honor of being assisted by Saddles For Soldiers with my own personal struggles with TBI. I can tell you that Johnny Higginson, the founder of the program, has really done a great service to this country and to our service men and women with his dedication and patriotism. Saddles For Soldiers runs on donations and is only funded by events like this Sunday’s BBQ. We have partnered with Harmony Farms to provide 100% grass-fed beef to the BBQ and we look forward to the community’s support of not only our veterans, but the businesses of OUR community.

S-T is on The Wrong Track by
David DeMullé
The widely publicized High Speed Rail (HSR) meeting came to town at the Verdugo Hills High School auditorium. With “Sitting Room Only” crowds it appeared that there were almost as many presenters as there were concerned citizens. Outside, the HSR had set up canopies in which they had really slick digital presentations and boxes of nutrition bars and water for the guests. The community meeting which had been predominantly advertised in all the local news media was not a “flop” as some residents stated while filling their pockets with the freebies. It actually was a visual indicator of how concerned our community is about the HSR going through their neighbors’ property. STNC officers Cindy Cleghorn and Mark Seigel were there with California Assembly-person Patty Lopez to talk with the community members as well as ask questions of the HSR group. With the 1,000 seat auditorium filled to capacity with about 75 concerned residents, those there considered it to be a success. Even social deactivist Wally Wharton was there to graphically indicate how pleased she was. HSR community meetings have been held in Sylmar, San Fernando, Santa Clarita, Palmdale and Acton over the

Wildfires, from pg. 1 the drought the hills are drier than they have ever seen. We can expect that conditions will continue to worsen with extreme heat, low humidity and dry winds. It’s a given, we all must be prepared for the risk of fire. And we can’t depend on Stations 24, 74 and 77 being able to respond quickly to our particular neighborhoods. “Brush clearance and weed abatement have made a huge difference in firefighters’ success in saving lives and property over the past years,” says Rush Yakhaman of Aper’s Tree & Brush Service. “It was only less than a month ago that our Hansen Dam and La Tuna Canyon were ravaged by fire. “ In talking with fire captains during the recent Fire Training Drills, it was pointed out that the recent rains caused a greening of the hills and mountains. “Weed abatement and brush clearance must be planned,” says Rush. “It is important to both remove or reduce the dense vegetation that has just sprung up. So in planning brush clearance and vegetation management, consideration must be given to both fire and future flood risks. Remember that the same vegetation that must be cut-back for fire prevention also stabilizes the hillside, protecting your family and home from mud slides. Proper brush clearance requires moderation, to protect against slope instability.” We are all subject to the special Brush Clearance requirements for “Very High Fire Severity Zones.” Brush clearance inspections usually begin in May and Notices of Violation are in this month’s mail. It is critical to remember that brush clearance is a year-round responsibility. We have a duty to each other to maintain our properties in a fire-safe condition. The importance of brush clearance vigilance has been well-illustrated during the Sayre, Marek and Station fires in the last decade, where firefighters reported that many neighborhoods had been spared due to strict compliance with brush clearance rules and wise landscape/vegetation management, preventing fires from destroying homes and taking lives. Vegetation management as it relates to wildland fire refers to the total or partial
removal of high fire hazard grasses, shrubs, or trees. Wildfire behavior is strongly influenced by vegetation type, terrain and the weather. Castor bean and sumac are vegetation that are ready to explode when lit because of the high concentration of oils contained in their leaves. Rush reminds us of the following basic requirements for brush clearance within 200 feet of structures: • Remove all dead materials from live plants, such as needles, leaves, and branches • Remove all dead trees, plants, and shrubs, but leave the lowest 3 inches and root structure to help prevent erosion
property are also fuel for fire. With the drought conditions here in California and in particular in our community, this is a good time to plant fire retardant plants that are also drought tolerant. Now is the right time to consider making changes to maximize your safety. In terms of vegetation planning, the most critical space is the 100 feet surrounding structures on your property. On flat areas surrounding your home, you will help reduce fire hazards by planting and maintaining nonflammable soft-scape lawns, border plantings, flower gardens and vegetation beds, along with hardscapes, such as pools, concrete, brick, or stone decks.

Foothills Pet Page At Least My Dog Likes Me by Jim
Laris
I’m looked down on for a lot of things. Oh, sure, you’re going to say it’s because I am short. Real funny. And I’m not that damned short, dammit. I’m taller than Napoleon. I’m taller than that woman race driver. I’m taller than them short people who Randy Newman sings about. But, I have to admit there are numerous traits I have that are looked down on by people
such as yourselves and your critical friends. To which I say, “Pshaw.” I am going to keep those irritating traits and I will enjoy exercising them until I either buy the farm or one of you sells me the farm. I cannot go into all of those traits right now because this is a limited space, so I will just highlight one of the things I do which seems to irritate people who observe me doing it. I like to feed my dog weird shit, OK. Is that so bad?
Here’s how I see it. A dog is of health. I’m telling you, he on the planet for, say, 13 years. smiles. Really. He looks at me, And I think he should be happy and I smile back at him and for those years. And most he tells me in dog language people I know just feed their (which, by the way, is very dogs dog food. They think it’s similar to stuttering) that he is healthy and their vet tells them so glad he doesn’t live with my it is and maybe it is.

If raw meat and he wolfs that not, they die. I took Hadley ground round down, and then the Airedale to his house one he comes out into the living day, and he looked at that pile room walking on his hind legs of supposed dog food and he and he high-fives me.

And he seems knows what the hell he’s going happy. And all his dog friends to get. But he usually eats it want to come over to our all. Yes, I am that great of a house to eat. I don’t know, I cook.

I couldn’t stand the sound of a dog crying, so now and then I would give him a piece of cashew chicken to shut him up. He liked it. And then I gave him a few tidbits of the bad fatty pieces of beef I didn’t want, and he liked them, too. Then I gave him a big glob of Orange Chicken and you know what he did? If I’m lyin’, I’m dyin’. He spit it out! On my pants! That ungrateful little weasel. Anyway, I finished eating and had some leftovers, so I thought I would piss him off and teach him a lesson. I got a plate and put out the sweet and sour pork stuff that even I couldn’t stomach and threw in a little chop suey and the Orange Chicken gooey-ass sauce. And I put the broccoli right on top. I put the plate down in front of him. I think it was moving by itself. And you know what? He ate the whole thing! Just slopped it up like a four-legged vacuum. Man, it was gone. Fast. And then he is going around the living room wiping his snout-face on the chairs and all over the rug and smiling his dog smile. So what did I do? The only thing I could do. I gave him a fortune cookie. He ate the whole thing. Even the little paper fortune. Which I carefully picked out of a moist pile with my chopsticks, and was able to decipher that it read, “Canine who eats General Mao Chinese shredded chicken will do a dog barf on your carpet.” Those commies are very wise.
