SANTA MONICA IS HOME TOmany lifestyles and specializeddiets.
Vegan, vegetarian, paleo,pescatarian, gluten free, low carb,reduced sugar, raw or just picky:somewhere in the city, there’s aholiday meal suitable for everyappetite and just because you’renot eating a turkey or butteredmashed potatoes doesn’t meanyou can’t celebrate with a festive,satisfying meal.
Santa Monica FarmersMarket volunteer, RecipeDeveloper and Healthy LivingGuide blogger EmmaD’Alessandro said a bounty ofoptions are available directfrom the market’s vendors.
“Eating whole foods andmaking healthy recipes thattaste delicious should be funand rewarding,” shesaid.”Nature gives us the mostbeautiful art and it’s up to us touse it as our medium to createour life’s art. I believe in qualityingredients and making con-scious decisions to buy themost sustainable and localingredients available.”
She grew up in an Italianfamily that always had an egg-plant dish on the holiday tableso she drew inspiration from herfamily roots for a simple dishthat will fit all types of eaters.
“Eggplant is a very familiaringredient to me and remindsme of those dinners at the din-ing room table with the extend-ed family,” said D’Alessandro. “Ilove tradition, but also enjoyexperimenting and creating newtraditions to share with my ownfamily. Plus, I love the pops ofcolor that represent that happi-ness that the holidays can bring.”

The Santa Monica City Councilvoted last week to link the City’sBreeze Bike Share program withother nearby jurisdictions usingsame technology, including BeverlyHills, West Hollywood and UCLA.City Councils in Beverly Hills andWest Hollywood are expected toreview and approve the agreementby the end of the year.
If approved by all jurisdictions,the network will give membersaccess to hundreds of bikes bySpring 2018. Those members willno longer receive $20 “out of hubfees” for leaving a Hulu brandedbike in a connected area. Thosewho pay a monthly membershipfee would be able to use their 90minutes of daily ride time on anybike in the system.
After two years, Breeze remainspopular with nearly 80,000 activesubscribers. That success has led toa $206,000 surplus in Breeze’sbudget. City residents account foronly 12 percent of those membersbut take nearly half the totalamount of trips in Santa Monica
Within the regional network,the City of Santa Monica will stillown its collection of Hulu bikesand pay operating fees to SocialBicycles, the company that man-ages the app and the system. Bikeswill likely migrate freely from onejurisdiction to another with eachentity responsible for maintainingits own equipment.

FROM SMITH FARMS
Editor’s Note: The Daily Press workedwith the Santa Monica Farmers Marketto produce a series of recipes fromlocal chefs and vendors. The recipeswere collected into a standaloneguide and those stories are reprintedhere in advance of the big meal.Content was created by Daily PressEditor Matthew Hall.
WHEN YOU’RE A LOCALfarmer, you tend to eat what yougrow and that means you’regoing to have a highly seasonaldiet. Eating what’s in season isjust the way it’s done with SmithFamily Farms and they said thebenefits of synching your stom-ach to the seasons are many.
“Seasonality is incrediblyimportant not only to holidaytraditions but also all yearround. Being an organicfarmer family, it’s our biggestgoal to eat what’s in season,”said Courtney Smith. “Not onlyare the products at SmithFarms picked fresh and soldeveryday, the quality and fresh-ness are impeccable. Every
meal has such dynamic flavoryou don’t need to add all theseextra spices and herbs to makethe food taste better. It’s notonly a good idea to eat season-ally because of freshness, quali-ty and taste, but the nutritionthat comes with it makes it awin win win win!”
Smith recommends taking aselection of organic vegetablesand creating her family’s soul-warming soup.
“This soup is the perfectholiday meal, however it’s alsojust the perfect fall starter.With the seasonal vegetablesthat last all winter long, it’s per-fect for cold winter nights thatwill warm you up,” she said.
“This recipe allows for theseasonal vegetables to be shownthrough its simplicity. No needto fancy up any dish with sever-al spices and herbs hiding thebest parts of the dish when youhave fresh, local, organic veg-etables. You can really taste thefreshness and quality of eachingredient in this dish. Picked

the fresh herbs and some crimson sparklefrom the pomegranates, she said the dishhits some traditional Christmas colors whilestaying true to the seasonal ingredients avail-able during the cold months.
“The autumn and early winter bountygift us tons of hearty produce for the wintermonths, which often make an appearance onour holiday dinner table, including myfavorite, apple pie,” she said.
Those apples are also an importanttouchstone for her holiday memories.
“I used to take my much younger sistersto a local farm where we would pick pump-kins, apples, and go on hayrides,” she said.“Itwas so much fun to be silly with them.”
D’Alessandro’s family utilizes a potlucksystem for their holiday meals and over the
years, individuals have earned a reputationfor specific dishes.
“My mom is an excellent baker andmade her famous butterhorn cookiesevery holiday season. She used to hidethem in the basement so we didn’t eatthem all before holiday dinners,” saidD’Alessandro.
As an East Coast transplant, she still hasfond memories of the cold weather but she’slearned to appreciate the benefits of aSouthern California holiday.
“I miss the autumn colors and the crispnights of the East Coast, but I do love thewarm, sunny days. I can always go to themountains to get my fill of snow, withouthaving to defrost my windows at 6:30 a.m.on my way to work or worry about drivingin poor conditions. I’m a fan!”

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
ON NOVEMBER 9, AT ABOUT 1:43 P.M.While at the intersection of Ocean Park and Lincoln Blvd., an officer saw a pedestrian walksouthbound across Ocean Park Blvd against a “Don’t Walk” signal creating a traffic hazard.The subject then walked up to car that was stopped for a traffic light and reached out for thedoor handle in an attempt to open the door. The subject was not in possession of any identi-fiable documentation and the officer was unable to verify his identity. The subject was takeninto custody for booking.

revenue from Breeze will stay the samebecause it is generated by individual trips,out of hub fees and overages. The four sys-tems will split membership revenue accord-ing to a formula based on the number oftrips their bikes generated during thatmonth. If usage in each jurisdictionremained the same, Breeze would accountfor about 75 percent of the total trips acrossthe network. Using the formula, Breezewould get 65 percent of the total regionalmembership fees, according to a staff report.
“We shouldn’t be penalized or subsidiz-ing other systems, especially if we are gener-ating more trips,” Kozar said.
The three cities and the UCLA Board ofRegents will review the system after six months.
At the Council meeting, Mayor TedWinterer said it is important to preserveBreeze’s revenue because he would like toeventually expand discounts for low incomeresidents. At the time, Breeze offers a discount
to Santa Monica residents living in lowincome housing. They pay just $5 a monthfor a membership, according to Kozar.
“Right now, the system is running in theblack,” Winterer said.
“At this time, there is nothing in this thatwe know that would necessarily reduce thatrevenue but, like I said, the impacts of therevenue sharing and the amount of trips, wedon’t know if it’s going to generate moremembers and that’s why we’re giving our-selves a six month period to addressthe...impacts,” Kozar said.
Kozar said the partnership is written in away that other cities will be able to join thenetwork if they also decide to use SocialBicycles. Los Angeles, Culver City and othercities in the South Bay are currently makingdecisions about bike share systems. LongBeach has been part of the conversation butis not yet involved in the network.
The City is also pursuing a long-termpartnership that would allow TAP cards aspayment throughout the system.

The sun moves out of Scorpio, leaving that scorpion’s stinger in the past. Sarcasm may be a sign of ahealthy brain, but it’s not always a sign of a healthy attitude. You may like a good laugh as much as thenext person, but at whose expense? Support people. Love them. Put that at the core of all you do and you’llbe cosmically aligned.
Solar Change
ARIES (March 21-April 19)You can’t expect to think differently if you’reusing the same references as everyone else.For this reason and more, it’s time to go dig-ging deeper for new influences.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Knowing your weakness is the first step. Fromthere you can build on your strengths enoughto compensate, find a way to capitalize on theinherent gift in your weakness, or work direct-ly to develop the weak area.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)People may ask about your plans, but youmight want to show them what you’ve alreadydone instead. That will speak with more vol-ume and clarity, leaving no room for doubt.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)There’s something to be said for feelinglike you have to impress a person. It will beinteresting to see how the nearness of sucha person changes your approach. Ofcourse, it’s nicer to be with people whoalready get you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You’re so close to success on a project, thoughyou may have to redefine it. For instance, suc-cess may be simply finishing the thing so youcan move on and never look at it again.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Breathe. Of course, that’s not your only job inthe process of helping this thing along.Breathing in; breathing out; plus investingsome of your faith: Hit those three, and thenstep back. Your job is done.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)It might sound like a mean thing, but a big partof your happiness, success and well-being isjust knowing who to stay away from. It’s betterto be alone than with an influence that makesyou behave as less than you really are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)On this day of cosmic change, you’ll adaptmore easily to the transition than most, if onlybecause you long ago accepted the temporarynature of all things. For this reason and more,someone wants to hold your hand.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You don’t have to wait until tomorrow to getyour second chance. By then you might noteven want it anymore. To a person of action,now is the second chance -- and now and now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)The bottle of water by your side helps you stopand think while you stop and drink. A morethoughtful (and hydrated) approach to speak-ing with people and doing your work will leadto an important breakthrough.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You’ll be in a position to defend a person oridea, and because you’re so loyal you’ll do thiswell. For this reason, knowing whether the per-son or idea is in the right will be crucial. Findout first.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)There’s that one person you like to havearound -- the one who’s like a candle in a darkroom, mysterious, warm and always casting alovely quality of light on you.
