SANTA CRUZ — Errant bicyclists, those who get ticketed for riding on the wrong side of the street or cruising through a stop sign, can now go to traffic school to avoid a hefty fine — and pick up some safety pointers.
The Community Traffic Safety Coalition of Santa Cruz County has launched a program similar to the traffic schools motorists attend to prevent points from going on their record that allows cyclists to attend traffic school for $35. Attending the two-hour class allows bikers to escape paying a ticket, which can run $100 to $200.
"We"re a university town with a lot of bikes on the road and a lot of injuries," said Corinne Hyland of the county health department. "We want to capture that audience and give them some education."
Under state law, bicyclists are required to follow the same rules of the road as cars. The most common cycling violations are people riding on sidewalks, failing to stop at a light or stop sign and not having appropriate lights and reflectors after dark, according to authorities.
Santa Cruz police say they also cite a lot of people who ride the wrong way on Pacific Avenue.
There were 154 bicycle injuries in Santa Cruz County in 2006, according to stats from the Community Traffic Safety Coalition. The majority of those injuries, roughly 82, occurred in Santa Cruz.
The most recent bicycle fatality happened in January when college student Lucian Gregg was killed as he rode his bike down East Cliff Drive, apparently colliding with a delivery truck. Pacific Collegiate School teacher John Myslin died last summer when he collided with a truck while riding his bike on Mission Street.
Santa Cruz police write up to 30 bike tickets each month, which police Sgt. Jack McPhillips attributes to the large number of UC Santa Cruz students riding around town, often not abiding by the rules.
"We write tenfold the number of bike tickets than what any other local agency does," McPhillips said. "It"s for safety. You can repair a car, but you can"t repair a body that"s been damaged."
Saskia Lucas, a longtime bicycle commuter, is one of the bike traffic school"s instructors. Lucas said bicyclists are at fault in at least half of all bike vs. vehicle accidents.
The new school, which kicked off its first class in January, is designed to refresh cyclists on the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
"There are a lot of people endangering themselves because they don"t know the law," Lucas said. "A lot of the people who come to the class are surprised by the information, and they come away with concrete illustrations on how to be a better rider."
The class is once a month, either at the county"s Emeline Avenue campus or Ecology Action on River Street. More classes will become available as demand increases, Hyland said.
Cyclists over 18 countywide would have the option of taking the $35 class only once. The money goes toward the cost of the program. A court order to attend the school must be granted.

Despite the club's obvious advantage in terms of available funds, the Italian says that the Gunners captain will face a difficult choice over where to go should he leave north London, and he is in the dark as to how the saga will end.
"I don't know what will happen with Van Persie," Mancini told the Daily Mirror. "Now he's an Arsenal player.
"When you are talking about Manchester City, United and Juventus it's difficult for any player to choose between these three teams.
"But if we have a chance to take him, we will try. He is a top striker like the other strikers we have."
The Italian manager also claimed that his current squad is not good enough to win the Champions League, and that their main priority will be to try and retain their Premier League title, this season.
"Defending the title should be our target this year," Mancini added.
"If we also go well in the Champions League, there could also be a chance that we can arrive in the quarter, semi-final or final.
"We will try to win it but it's important, for this, that we have a good squad.
|Manchester City are 13/2 to win the 2012-13 Champions League with bet365
"But the Champions League is a strange competition sometimes. I don't say Chelsea didn't deserve to win it, but there were better teams than them last year.
"Chelsea probably deserved to win a Champions League three or four years ago, but there are some years when you can [win] a Champions League and not know why.
"Our target for the Champions League should be to go for the second stage after the group."

printkjv.ifbweb.com offers free Microsoft word and Plain Text files of the entire KJV. This means that the text block can reformatted and printed it any way. It also features the books of the Bible in individual documents so you can print an individual book to look at. Perhaps the most obvious use of this resource is the creation of an interleaf Bible.
I used the file to print John, 1 John, 2 John and 3 John. I reformatted the text block to two inch margins, single column, verse per line and used a three hole punch to add blank pages in-between the pages of text. With the wide margins and the blank pages I can write copious notes. By keeping the pages in a binder, I can add pages as I desire, and I can carry whatever portions of the Bible I am currently studying.
Because of the large amount of space, I decided to use a four color writing system to separate my notes. I made margin notes first, dividing them by color, and then used the same color to key the notes to more complete comments and notes written on the opposing page, so red notes correspond to red notes on the blank page etc.
As you can see, I still nearly ran out of space on the blank page. Whenever, you have the space it becomes easy to use up.
I separated the verses into thoughts by theme, bracketing them by subject and alternating colors.
I then marked the verse numbers down, but wrote all the notes on each bracket in the same color I made the bracket. This makes it easy to find your thoughts later and know what note goes where.
This is an excellent way to keep teaching outlines etc. because you have all of your notes and thoughts keyed to the text and side by side. It's also nice because you don't have to mark up your reading Bible if you find notes distracting.

When we lived in Maryland years ago, every winter, right after Christmas, melancholy slipped into our house unannounced and definitely uninvited. It draped itself over me, an annoying, itchy shawl. Once there, gloom dug in like a briar, refusing to leave until months later when the first crocus peeked through the grass. I didn't understand why I had these blues; all I knew for sure was that as soon as spring came, this seasonal cloud of melancholy lifted and stayed away until the next winter.
I felt really victim-y and off-track during those first grey winters. Feeling so glum ticked me off and I wanted to get to the bottom of it. This book, Winter Blues, found its way to me. I didn't even get past the introduction when it all suddenly made sense. My unofficial but spot-on self diagnosis? Seasonal Affective Disorder. I bought myself a light box, booked a Christmas trip to Florida instead of New England, and did my best to take control of those winter blues. This investment seemed to do the trick for the remainder of our time in Maryland. I quickly saw results from the lightbox; after a few weeks of intense exposure, everything lifted just a bit and winter felt more manageable.
When we moved to Vermont for the first time, in 2001, I was worried that with the long winters, the Green Mountain State would not bode well for my SAD. The surprising thing is that this didn't happen. In Vermont, once the snow comes, it stays. The ground is light and white and people get out and move in the world because they have to. We bundled up and did stuff outside and made ourselves embrace winter. We didn't hibernate, we didn't let the hazardous weather scare us or get us down, and as a result, I found that winters in Vermont were indeed much easier than winters in Maryland. And now, we're back in Vermont for a second time, after ten years in southern Ohio, where the weather is similar to Maryland, and I'm ready for it.
Today the weather is rotten. It snowed a little bit last night, but now we've got sleet and are under a winter weather advisory. We live at the end of a long dirt driveway off a long dirt road, but we have to get out and go and drive and do stuff every day. I can't afford to be nervous about it. I've got four studded Hakks, a cord of firewood, and my lightbox set permanently to ON.
