City Hall will be wading into apair of water related topics at theNov. 22 Council meeting includinga study session on land use priori-ties for the coast and a public hear-ing on 2017 water rates.
The Council’s closed session willinclude recruitment for a new CityAttorney, updates on several law-suits (including ongoing litigation
with AirBnB) and negotiationsover property sales. The consentcalendar includes grants fromHomeland Security, property man-agement services at the airport,contracts for building public rest-rooms and the purchase of protec-tive equipment for firefighters.
The first item of substance willbe a study session of documentsrelated to Santa Monica’s desire toregain more control of develop-ment along the coast.
The Council is being asked toreview and comment on the pro-posed policy direction for theCity’s Local Coastal Program LandUse Plan update.
The Land Use Plan is one oftwo documents that will create anew Local Coastal Program forSanta Monica.
“The LUP describes the plan-ning area’s land use and environ-mental conditions, identifies issues,and contains land use policies and
maps that complement adoptedCity policy and satisfy the intent ofthe State Coastal Act. The LUPmust comply with the Coastal Actand maintain consistency with theGeneral Plan,” said the Staff report.
The second element is anImplementation Plan, also knownas a Coastal Zoning Ordinance,contains development standardsfor the coastal zone.

The holiday season is such abeloved time of year. The weatherturns cool and the snow begins tofall; we spend dedicated time withour family and friends; and chil-dren experience old family tradi-tions for the first time.
At homes across the country,carefully wrapped plates of home-made cookies are passed amongfriends and neighbors to celebratea year of friendship and communi-ty. A family's cookie plate is asunique as they are, and so oftenyou can identify the sender by thetreats on the plate.
Special holiday cookie recipesare an old tradition. In the MiddleAges, spices, butter, and sugar wereprized possessions, too expensivefor everyday use. At the holidays,cooks would use these ingredientsto make small extravagances toshare with friends and family.Cookies spiced with cinnamon,nutmeg, and clove were commonand have stood the test of time. It isbelieved that the first gingerbreadmen came from the time ofElizabeth I, who asked for thecookies to be shaped like the menin her court.
Cookie recipes have evolved agreat deal since the time ofElizabeth, and every family hastheir list of must-bake cookies.One standout holiday favorite isthe snickerdoodle, a sugar cookiethat is rolled in cinnamon-sugarbefore being baked. It is recogniza-ble by its slightly cracked exteriorthat lets its chewy interior shinethrough. Unlike many sugar cook-

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS FROM ONE OFour community gardeners, Ann Shepphird.It was originally posted on her website,GardensToTables.com, which she startedwhen she got her community garden in2008.
As the seasons change and we spend moretime in our gardens, it's good to remember totake care of our backs. These yoga stretchesfor gardeners were first posted here in 2009courtesy of the Ubuntu restaurant and yogaspace in Napa. Ubuntu has sadly since closedbut I think we can all agree that the tipsthemselves are timeless. Happy gardening!
If there is one thing that all gardenersshare, it's a need to save their backs from allthe lifting and bending that goes along withtending their gardens. Here are some tipsfrom Ubuntu Yoga Instructor CourtneyWillis on how to create a strong and flexibleback through some Yoga Flow for Gardeners.
■ Standing on your feet, reach the armsout and up and bring the palms together wayabove the head, saluting the sun.
■ Slowly, bend the knees and bring yourhands to the Earth, relax the head and breathhere, working on extending the hips upward.
■ Lie on your back and bend the legs. Liftthe hips and wiggle your shoulders underthe back until you can clasp the hands. For atherapeutic variation. you can bring thehands to the hips, fingers facing outward.
■ This pose is an important counter posefor all the forward bending you do in thegarden.
■ From here, release the spine to theEarth, create a 'T' with your arms and slow-ly drop your legs to one side and bring yougaze to the opposite arm.
■ Repeat on the other side.This gentle sequence is accessible to every
BODY and can be done before AND after aday in the garden.

FILM REVIEWBLEED FOR THIS
Rated R116 MinutesReleased November 18th
Bleed for This is on the surface the storyof a boxer, Vinny Pazienza It is not simply aboxing movie. To paraphrase AaronEckardt’s words in the post-screening Q&A,this is a story about perseverance andresilience…about not giving up on a dream.
This is a low budget movie, shot for $6million. The shoot lasted just 24 days, in andaround Providence RI, with almost norehearsal and very few takes for each scene.The fight scenes were shot in Dunkin DonutsCenter in Providence; and the scenes ofVinny’s family were all shot in one house.The cast had their dressing rooms in thehouse, so according to Eckardt, they all felt asif they had taken on the life of Vinny’s familyin their cramped quarters. That detail addedwith great realism to the film. All the charac-ters in the movie come to life realistically.
Pazienza loved boxing and truly made anart of it. The sport was his form of expres-sion. It was also the basis of his life. MilesTeller as Pazienza is able to communicatethis – he has the frenetic energy to bring tolife this extraordinary real life character.
Rhode Islanders love Pazienza so muchthat the filmmakers were able to get 2000volunteers to serve as extras for the fightscenes, giving their time for 12-hour days.He is a statewide hero.
The actors do a superb job - Miles Teller,
Aaron Eckhart, Katey Sagal and CiaranHinds specifically. Aaron so embodies thefreeform high energy of flawed trainer KevinRooney that he seems to have become thecharacter. Katey Sagal as Pazienza’s mother,is practically unrecognizable, as she mani-fests a character so different from the rolesshe is known for. She proves herself to bereally a very fine actress here. Irish actorCiaran Hinds also seems to perfectly fit thecharacter of Vinny’s Rhode Islander/ItalianDad. Eckhart likes to box as a personalworkout, so relished the chance to researchhis role by working with Manny Pacquiao’strainer, picking up his mannerisms andlingo.
Some aspects of the story are handledvery well. Original TV newscasts aboutVinny and period shots of the Providencearea and Las Vegas add realism.Juxtapositions of scenes, for example Vinny’sview of a hospital room, into his motherprayer at the religious shrine she has set upin a foyer of her home, provide emotionalimpact. In all, if the movie had about 20minutes less narrative it would be even moregripping. All in all, Bleed for This is a won-derful story about an exceptional youngman who overcame huge odds to be the bestthat he could be at what he loved doing.

ON JULY 2, 2016, THE SANTA MONICADaily Press published a Guest Author col-umn from Robin Sherry and BarbaraBronie, members of the Steering Committeeof the tobacco control advocacy groupSmoke-Free Living Santa Monica. In the col-umn they explained some of the reasons thatthe Santa Monica ordinance regulatingsmoking in apartments and condominiumsis not protecting residents as well as hadbeen hoped. The law requires no smoking incommon areas such as courtyards and onprivate balconies and patios. It also requiresno smoking in all new vacancies, includingin newly rented or purchased condomini-ums. However, the law allows existing ten-ants to continue to smoke in their apart-ments. Although managers and owners arerequired to provide information to prospec-tive tenants about the location of smokingpermitted units, no-smoking leases are notrequired for new tenants, and the City doesnot enforce the law. Instead, residents whoare suffering must enforce the law them-selves.
Sherry and Bronie invited residents whoare continuing to suffer from tobacco smoketo contact them. Here are some of theresponses. Names have been changed or notused at the request of the respondents.
A condo owner, Tony, explained that hiswindows are very close to an adjacent apart-ment building. Several residents in thatbuilding are smoking on their balconies. Hehas not been able to discover the names, oreven the unit numbers of the people who aresmoking, so he can’t even begin to take anyaction about enforcing the law so that he canprotect his family.
A senior resident in a large apartmentcomplex, Carol, also has a problem withtobacco smoke. New renters are smoking intheir units. When she asked for the contactinformation of these new residents from themanagement of her building so that shecould take some action to protect herself,they stated they could not provide it.Although the Santa Monica ordinancerequires the tenant to notify the renter whois violating the law, the landlord can refuseto provide the renter’s contact informationon the grounds of “invasion of privacy.” Thisis one more reason (in addition to norequirement for a non-smoking lease fornew tenants) the current law is ineffectiveand needs to be changed.
Another kind of problem was reported byLeonard who explained that not only are hisnext-door neighbors smoking in their unit,but also that a lot of tenants are smoking inthe building’s courtyard. He can look downfrom his balcony and see the cigarette butts.It’s challenging enough to try to convinceone tenant to comply with the law, but whenthere are many tenants not in compliance,it’s very difficult for one person alone to takeaction.
We also heard from one manager, Donna,that as a result of the law’s passage in 2012,two of her residents who used to smoke intheir units have changed their behavior andnow smoke away from the property. So thelaw has had some impact with people whoare willing to abide by it.
So even if a resident attempts to enforcethe law, there can be insurmountable obsta-cles. First, the law requires that you speak tothe person who is not in compliance, and ifthat has no effect, the law requires that yousend a letter to the person who is smoking. Ifthat also has no effect, the law suggests thatyou sue the person who is smoking in SmallClaims Court. If the judge rules in yourfavor, the fine against the person who issmoking is $100 which you are then author-ized to collect from that person. But thecourt cannot require compliance with thelaw. As a retired judge has pointed out, SmallClaims Court is not an appropriate venuefor this kind of problem.
Cities have the responsibility under statelaw to protect the health of residents. (CAHealth and Safety Code 101450: "The gov-erning body of a city shall take measuresnecessary to preserve and protect the publichealth, including regulation of sanitary mat-ters in the city, and including if indicated,the adoption of ordinances, regulations andorders not in conflict with general laws.")
Although fewer than 12% of California’sadult population are still smoking tobaccoproducts (according to the CaliforniaDepartment of Public Health), too manySanta Monica residents are not in compli-ance with the smoke-free housing law. It istime for that law to be re-evaluated andimproved. Requiring management to give ano smoking lease to all new residents will atleast ensure that they are informed about thelaw. But most of all, the city needs to prohib-it smoking in all units and to enforce the lawwith the same effort and determination usedto enforce the Rent Control Law and the newlaw which regulates AirBnB. The RentControl law is about protecting tenants fromexorbitant rent increases and unscrupulouslandlords. That’s important. But beingexposed to tobacco smoke is about illnessand even death. The law should protecteveryone from inhaling tobacco smoke intheir homes.
Our final Guest Author Column will offerinformation about how smoke-free housinglaws are being enforced in other Californiacities, including in Berkeley, anotherCalifornia city with strict rent control.
RROOBBIINN SSHHEERRRRYY and DDAAVVIINNAA SSAAVVIILLLLAA are mem-bers of the steering committee of Smoke-FreeLiving Santa Monica.

ies that are unleavened and rolled for cut-ting, our snickerdoodles contain both bak-ing soda and cream of tartar. Because theyare so mild in flavor, they often have a char-acteristic tanginess that can be attributed tothose ingredients. After a heavy meal,Snickerdoodles are the perfect bite to satisfya sweet tooth.
This recipe calls for a #40 scoop, which isjust about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie doughper cookie, but you can make your cookiesas big or small as you would like. For small-er cookies, increase the temperature slightlyand reduce the baking time. For larger cook-ies, decrease the temperature and increase
the baking time slightly. Either way, yournose will know when these cookies are done,and your home will be filled with the scentof the holidays.
Like most cookies, snickerdoodles are theperfect make-ahead recipe. The cookies caneither be fully baked, cooled, and frozen, oryou can prepare the dough, scoop the cook-ies onto a baking sheet, and freeze them tobake later. Remove your cookies from thefreezer the day before use. Just be sure totuck them away somewhere safe, since cook-ie radar is strong at the holidays.

Once both documents are certified by theCoastal Commission, Santa Monica wouldbecome the primary authority for issuingdevelopment permits in the coastal zone.
“The Coastal Commission would retainpermanent coastal permit jurisdiction overdevelopment proposed on tidelands, sub-merged lands, and public trust lands, andwould also act on appeals of local govern-ment coastal development permit decisionswithin a certain area inward from the coast-line,” said the report. “The CoastalCommission also reviews and approves anyamendments to previously certified LocalCoastal Programs.”
Up to this point, the Coastal Commissionhas retained authority over local coastalprojects because Santa Monica previouslyadopted an LUP but did not adopt anImplementation Plan.
Staff said revised documents are neededto account for the many changes along thecoast including the arrival of Expo, plans forthe Civic Center, revival of the Pier and con-struction of the Annenberg Beach House.The Coastal Commission also wants reviseddocuments that will incorporate their newprograms and policies related to climatechange.
Staffs are specifically asking for Councilinput on five topics.
Coastal Access is the first item on the list.Council is expected to discuss a “multi-modal approach to coastal access” that willutilize parking throughout the zone includ-ing at the Civic Center and Main Street. Newactivity could be supported by multi-modalaccess with a small reduction in Pier parkingand the use of traffic plans instead of requir-ing additional parking near the pier.
When discussing scenic and visualresources council will be asked to remove to“scenic view corridors” that do not offercoastal views (the Santa Monica Freewayand the Third Street Promenade) whileexploring other scenic viewpoints suggestedby the Planning Commission.
In relation to sea level rise, council will beasked to consider “a phased approach toadaptation strategies and development
restrictions based on measurement and doc-umentation of actual sea level rise and theanticipated life span of proposed projects.This phased approach would create thresh-olds and ‘trigger’ points at which the Citywould need to adopt more definitive stan-dards, requirements and adaptation pro-grams applicable to affected coastal areaswith favor for lower-impact deterrents suchas dunes rather than sea walls.”
Additional discussion will focus on align-ing the LUP’s development standards withexisting zoning documents and reformula-tion of the low-cost visitor accommodationreplacement fee.
The Council agenda lists a public hearingon the State of the Water Fund Report and2017 Water Rate Adjustment.
Staff are recommending a 5 percent waterrate increase for 2017.
The recommendation is less than the pre-viously approved 9 percent increase and isbased on changes to the city’s Water Fundcapital program that creates better budgetprojections.
Council previously approved five annual9 percent rate increases in starting in 2015.While the first increase was at the full 9 per-cent, the 2016 increase was only 5 percentdue to better than expected revenues.
“The recommended rate adjustmentwould be sufficient to allow the City to fundnecessary operating and capital programs; todeliver potable water to Santa Monica cus-tomers reliably, safely and sustainably incompliance with federal and state regula-tions; and stay on track to achieve water self-sufficiency as planned by 2020,” said the staffreport.
“The recommended 5% water rateincrease for 2017 instead of the previouslyapproved 9% increase would be effective forcalendar year 2017 on bills issued on orabout March 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018,with up to 9% increases authorized for 2018and 2019 pending annual evaluation byCouncil and staff.”
Council meets at City Hall, 1685 Main St.on Nov. 22. Closed session begins at 5:30p.m. Visit http://www.smgov.net/depart-ments/clerk/agendas.aspx for more infor-mation.

Officers conducted a traffic stop at the 1000 block of 4thSt. for a vehicle code violation. Upon contacting them, both the driver and the passen-ger gave the officers false names and told them they did not have any identification onthem. Officers asked the female driver to step out of the car and then asked her if theycould search. The driver claimed the car belonged to her father and that all the proper-ty inside it was his, but consented to the search. During their search, the officers foundan ID card and several credit cards belonging to different people, along with a bag full ofvarious trading cards.

Complaints against
Councilwoman Pam O’Connor
filed by a local activist organization
have been forwarded to the Los
Angeles County District Attorney’s
office for review.
The Santa Monica Coalition for
a Livable City filed a complaint last
month against O’Connor alleging
violations of the City Charter in
connection with the firing of
Elizabeth Riel and at least one part
of that complaint has been sent to
the county.
Riel was offered a position with
the City of Santa Monica in 2014,
only to have the offer rescinded
before her first day of work. Riel

Prices are going up for the Big Blue
Bus and officials are holding a public
meeting on Sept. 10 to preview changes
and hear public feedback.
BBB will host a meeting from 6-7:30
p.m. at the Main Library (601 Santa
Monica Blvd.) to update customers on its
proposed fare updates and service
changes.According to staff, BBB will be adding
11 percent more service over the next 12
months as part of the Evolution of Blue
campaign to provide connections to the
upcoming Expo Light Rail Line.
To offset costs and bring some if its
products inline with regional averages, the
base fare will increase by $0.25 to $1.25
per ride. Express fares increase to $2.50
(50 cent increase), seniors/disabled fares
will be unchanged, tokens will increase to
$1.25 (25 cent increase), day passes are
unchanged, the 13-ride ticket increases to
$14 ($2 increase), a 30-day pass goes to
$50 ($10 decrease), a youth 30-day pass
drops to $38 ($2 decrease), an express 30-
day increases to $89 ($9 increase). A new
rolling 7-day pass will be available for $14.
According to the staff report, the goal is to
incentivize prepaid media and limit the
amount of cash transactions as a means of
increasing efficiency. Currently, cash cus-
tomers take an average of 23 seconds to
board while prepaid customers take less than
4 seconds.“Currently, 2 percent of customers use
30-day passes, 2 percent use 13-ride pass-
es, 3 percent use day passes, and 1 percent
use tokens,” said the staff report. “These
low percentages of current prepaid fare
media use are directly attributable to the

Best Medicine■ Three patients at an in-patient psychiatric
clinic are up for release. The psychiatrist-on-

a simple test before they can leave.
■ Psychiatrist: "How much is two plus two?"
■ Patient #1: "Blue."
■ With a nod from the psychiatrist, an order-
ly escorts Patient #1 back to his room.
■ Psychiatrist to next patient: "What is six
minus three?"
■ Patient #2: "Square."
■ An orderly escorts Patient #2 back to his
room.
■ Psychiatrist: "OK, you're next. How much is
five plus five?"
■ Patient #3: "10."
■ The psychiatrist is astounded. "How did
you know that?" he asks.
■ "Easy," replies Patient #3. "Everyone
knows blue multiplied by square equals 10."

It's a big deal. Neptune has been retrograde since mid-June, and now he uses his trident to prod us towardour dreams. How's your creativity? Let this forward movement of the big dream king nudge you in a newdirection, give you the engine to drive it to completion, be your great influence and your beautiful muse.
Neptune Goes Direct
ARIES (March 21-April 19)When you hear the other person call, but youdon't feel any urgency to answer it -- that's asign you want to look into a little further. You'llfind that your reasons are valid.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Leave the past behind. That was the old you.Ahead is the new you. There are people whodon't even know you, and this is the personthey'll think is the only you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)Building needs stability. Whether it's a rela-tionship, a business or an actual building, sta-bility is among the first tenants of the build. Aperson who is in turmoil is not a person youcan build with.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)You've wide-open eyes today, and what yousee is that there are many hard things in life.Good news: They don't all come at once. This isa huge benefit! The pacing of things is definite-ly on your side.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Everything is impossible until it's done, andsoon after it's de rigueur. That thing you wantto do -- well, you need to put a little more mindand elbow into it, that's all. Soon it's as good asdone.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Your way is right. Your heart is true. Yourvision is the best for all involved. Now, thething is, without getting the others on board,none of that will matter. Go and be charming!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)The unexpected thing. This is how it happens.You don't mind it when it's happening to you,but when the unexpected thing happens toanother, you might find that hard to watch.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Your temper is like the black box of an air-plane. It's locked away with a log of everythingthat happened before. If all goes well, it willnever be significant. And usually all goes well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)If you should give your heart to someoneand that person, it turns out, takes theresponsibility very seriously, this is amongthe best things in life to be cherished, andcherish it you will.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)What in the world would you do withoutXYZ? The answer is, truly, you'd go on. ButXYZ makes it all so much better. And thisis as good a time as any to celebrate XYZ.Do it!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Love needs a gesture. It needs a signal. It's afeeling that doesn't mean much without itsexpression. Don't feel love; (SET ITAL) do (ENDITAL) love. Love needs to be done today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)The casual answer does not always convey thecasual feeling. Look past it; hear through it.Use the intuition that is your cosmic gift. Thatmight be unfair, as you're always using it -- butare you always trusting it?
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19)
Your birthday boon is the answer to a question that's been plaguing you. Maybe this comes in theform of a person you lost track of or a dream you let go of. Well, it's all coming back now. In theyear 2017 you'll dance your way into someone's heart, and you'll find that someone has taken res-idence in yours, too. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 11, 24 and 3.
