Bill would ban foam takeout containers in California BY KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer
Nearly ten years after Santa Monica banned polystyrene takeout containers – also known as Styrofoam – the rest of California may be catching up. A bill from Senator Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica) would ban polystyrene foam containers throughout the entire state starting Jan. 2020. SB 705 is scheduled for its next hearing Thursday with the Senate Appropriations Committee. Polystyrene breaks down into lightweight, buoyant particles that
flow easily into the ocean, contaminating the water and clogging the digestive systems of fish and birds, according to Heal the Bay. “Ultimately, it’s bad for our environment, bad for public health and it ends up costing cities and counties millions of dollars in cleanup costs,” Allen said at a press conference Monday with Los Angeles City Councilmembers Paul Koretz and Bob Blumenfield. “White polystyrene foam is everywhere you look and it never goes away,” Koretz said, noting that SEE BILL PAGE 7

CCSM promises sustainable, affordable housing BY KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer
The city’s largest affordable housing provider believes its next project will break ground in sustainability in California. Community Corp of Santa Monica plans to retrofit some ocean view apartments it purchased from the City in 2016 to be zero-net energy. “It’s not something that’s been done before at least to my knowledge,” Community Corp Executive Director Tara Barauskas said.
“Definitely not for affordable housing.” Along with plans to open up some walls, seismically retrofit and make 1616 Ocean Avenue ADA compliant, plans for the refurbishment include installing solar panels on the roof that will power the residences and common areas. The project has a $200,000 funding gap that just received a big boost from the City Council. On Tuesday, the Councilmembers voted unanimously to contribute $50,000 in discretionary funds for
the energy upgrade. Community Corp says efforts to get grant funding for the project have been unsuccessful. “To our knowledge, it will be the first multi-family zero-net energy retrofit in California,” Project manager John Mimms said. “It’s important to have a demonstration project to show people it can be done,” Mayor Pro Tempore Gleam Davis said at the SEE HOUSING PAGE 6

COMMUNITY BRIEFS LOS ANGELES
LA to install rumble strips to try and stop street racing The Los Angeles City Council has approved funding for a pilot program to install rumble strips on a roadway in the San Fernando Valley known for illegal street racing. The motion, passed Tuesday on an 11-0 vote, was introduced by Councilman Mitch Englander, who represents the area where the stretch of road dubbed the “Canoga Speedway” runs. Englander says rumble strips are similar to speed bumps but are much more disruptive to vehicles traveling at high speeds. Two spectators were killed at the scene of a street racing crash along Plummer Avenue in February 2015. The driver was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The councilman says the $14,000 pilot project will explore how effective the strips are at stopping street racing. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

Need cash? Facebook expands personal fundraising tools Facebook is expanding its fundraising tools that let users ask friends and strangers to give them money to help pay for education, medical or other expenses. The company has been testing the tool, which is similar to online fundraising services such as GoFundMe, since March. With the latest update, it has added sports and community fundraisers as options. It’s also possible to raise money for medical expenses for pets, crisis relief, funerals, and a slew of other categories. To start a fundraiser, scroll down the “menu” icon on mobile until you get to the “fundraisers” category. On desktop, visit facebook.com/fundraisers . Facebook says it will review all fundraisers within 24 hours. There is a fee of 6.9 percent plus 30 cents for payment processing, vetting and security. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hikers discover decomposed body in LA’s Griffith Park Los Angeles police say two hikers found a decomposed body in the city’s sprawling Griffith Park. Coroner’s officials say the body discovered Monday evening had likely been at the location for about a month. It was so decomposed that the age and gender of the person could not be determined. Police say no foul play is immediately suspected but they’ll await a coroner’s investigation before making a final determination. Covering 6 ? square miles in the eastern Santa Monica Mountain range, Griffith Park is considered the largest municipal park in the nation. — ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO
Judge will reconsider ruling blocking sanctuary cities order A federal judge Tuesday agreed to reconsider his ruling blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order to cut funding from cities that limit cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities. U.S. District Judge William Orrick accepted the administration’s request to reconsider his April ruling. He gave the two California counties that challenged the executive order — San Francisco and Santa Clara — two weeks to file any documents opposing the request. The administration was facing a Tuesday deadline to file paperwork to seek a second review by Orrick. The Trump administration sought reconsideration in light of a new memo by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The memo issued Monday reasserts the department’s position that Trump’s executive order applies to a relatively small amount of money administered by the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Homeland Security that require localities to comply with a specific immigration law related to information-sharing among police and federal immigration authorities. The Trump administration said the memo is “binding guidance” that undercuts Orrick’s preliminary injunction. Santa Clara and San Francisco argued that Orrick had already considered the arguments in the memo in his ruling. Orrick cited Trump’s reference to the order as a “weapon” as evidence that the administration intended to cut off a broad swath of federal funding, not just three U.S. Department of Justice and Homeland Security grants as government attorneys argued. And the judge said the order’s “plain language attempts to reach all federal grants.” The judge said President Donald Trump cannot set new conditions on spending approved by Congress. The president called the ruling “ridiculous” and vowed to take the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

THINGS WERE A LOT SOFTER IN 1966. IF
you were old enough to go to movies in those relatively tranquil days, you will undoubtedly remember with a smile Claude Lelouch’s beautiful romantic film “A Man and A Woman.” It was a simple tale of a widow (Anouk Aimee) and a widower (Louis Trintignant) falling in love as they shared a ride from their children’s boarding school in the south of France to arguably the most exquisite city in the world at that time: Paris. Now, exactly 50 years later, a new film, “Paris Can Wait”, reprises that story, but updated with the free-wheeling attitudes and behaviors of the 21st century. Again, it’s the story of a man and a woman on a leisurely drive from the south of France to Paris. But in this case the woman, Anne, (Diane Lane) is married. Her husband Michael (Alec Baldwin) is a busy and distracted executive who, when he isn’t flying around the world on business, spends the rest of his time on the phone. It isn’t that they are indifferent to each other In fact, they appear to love each other in a casually friendly way. But she is conscious that she is no longer as young and beautiful as she once was and has begun to feel a tremor of uncertainty about the quality of her life and her future. Into that disquieting situation comes a business associate of her husband’s, a Frenchman named Jacques (Arnaud Viard), who is attractive, charming, and attentive. And being something of a roue, he lets her know that he sees her as a beautiful, intelligent, and desirable woman. Anne, for her part, is both flattered and
amused. And when her husband is suddenly called away on business and arranges for her to drive back to Paris with Jacques, she hesitantly agrees. But the trip, which would ordinarily take a few hours, becomes a three-day journey as Jacques entertains her by introducing her to the glories of his native country and stopping to show her locations and landscapes that he had treasured since childhood. In addition to plying her with the finest wines and exotic gourmet meals in the most elegant hotels along the way. He is, however, a gentleman, and treats her throughout with the traditional chivalry of an earlier century. Meanwhile, Michael has been growing frantic as he continues to receive no answer when he calls home. Eventually he returns to their Paris apartment and greets her not with anger, but with relief and tenderness. And Jacques returns with an armful of roses and asks her to meet him in the city at a later date. She stands there twinkling and noncommittal and you are left wondering how her future will turn out. It remains a mystery known only to Eleanor Coppola, who wrote and directed this lovely film — a far cry from the murderous action-packed blockbusters of her husband, Francis Ford Coppola. “Paris Can Wait” can be enjoyed currently at theaters all over Los Angeles. CYNTHIA CITRON has worked as a journalist, public relations director, documentary screenwriter and theater reviewer. She may be reached at ccitron66@gmail.com.

It would be easy to brush off fitness guru Taryn Toomey’s The Class as another hippie trend, but you’d miss the magic. (She sprinkled crushed crystals underneath the studio floors, which she says is designed to draw out energy.) You’d also miss stargazing at celeb devotees like Naomi Watts, Jennifer Aniston and supermodel Christy Turlington Burns. Within minutes, the music swells, the mirrors in the 85-degree heated room begin to fog and sweaty ponytails come undone as participants perform 5 grueling, uninterrupted minutes of squat jumps while Toomey unleashes occasional expletivelaced insights. “We’re really using the physical body as a metaphor to deal with what’s out there,” said Toomey, a former fashion executive for Ralph Lauren and Dior, who opened a luxe studio in Tribeca in January. The goal of her 75-minute class is to train the mind to create new ways to respond — rather than react in the moment — to challenging external triggers. Other spiritual workouts gaining popularity around the U.S. include the intenSati Method, Qoya and Equinox’s Headstrong. Yoga and tai chi have drawn from these principles for years, but a new crop of workouts includes more cardio and strength-training moves as many fitness buffs seek more than a six-pack from their workouts. Toomey leaves a moment at the end of each song to stop the physical movement and encourage participants to reflect. “How are you feeling, not what are you thinking?” she asks the class. Headstrong uses high-intensity interval training and changing stimuli to challenge the body and brain. The first three sections of the class focus on stretching, agility and intensity; the class ends with a 15-minute guided meditation. Qoya founder Rochelle Schieck incorporates lots of free movement into her womenonly workout that refers to “movement as medicine.” It’s the least physically challenging of the bunch and is good for beginners, but it has a powerful emotional takeaway. Each Qoya class has a theme. If the theme is freedom, participants are given a moment to reflect on what it feels like when they don’t feel free. Then they express those emotions through free-form dance. Schieck says there’s immense value in acknowledging
uncomfortable emotions like fear or anger and “letting people embrace their wholeness instead of pretending I always feel free.” Part of the class includes a few minutes of shaking, which is designed to shake fear and discomfort out of the body to calm the nervous system. The class ends with a fun, choreographed dance that might include kickboxing moves to “Eye of the Tiger.” Both Toomey and Schieck followed a similar journey in creating their workouts. Yoga wasn’t enough for Toomey, who longed for more fire and cardio. Schieck was a yoga instructor but also felt something was missing. She also took pole dancing classes and loved its physicality, but kept getting injured. “Women kept saying as I was just developing it, ‘I’ve been waiting my whole life for this,’” said Schieck, who has trained some 300 Qoya teachers. Nadine Abramcyk, a 38-year-old small business owner and mother of two, attends one or two of Toomey’s classes a week, calling it her “personal therapy.” The change was so dramatic, her husband started going. “I had a very cathartic experience with it. ... It really isn’t about the physical for me. It’s really about the mental combined with the physical. It’s so multidimensional in that way and does something that regular exercise can’t.” Natalia Mehlman Petrzela is an associate professor of history at The New School who is researching feminism and group fitness. She spent years working out at the gym, “but as a feminist, I was so disappointed in the culture and the language ... there was this dominant language, ‘This is for your bikini body, what did you eat last night, how many inches did you lose ladies?’ It just fell short in many ways of the much broader, deeper potential of what exercise can mean to women.” Petrzela started teaching the high-energy cardio and strength intenSati Method, which includes vocal affirmations. “When you’re sweating, your heart is pumping (and) there is science that shows you’re open or particularly susceptible to your mind-set,” she said. IntenSati, created by Patricia Moreno, starts with an affirmation reminder that you can choose how you react to things. The class includes squats, lunges, side roundhouse kicks and punches while chanting something like “I am strong.” “I felt I finally had the words to express something I’d been feeling but didn’t have an outlet to,” said Petrzela.

meeting. Last October, the City Council required all new single-family homes to be zero net energy, meaning the value of energy produced on-site by renewable resources must be equal to the amount of energy consumed annually by the building. “Since we can no longer count on the Federal Government to pursue policies to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change, progressive states and cities must lead the way on cutting back our country’s reliance on fossil fuels,” Mayor Ted Winterer told the Daily Press. “It will in addition make the housing at this site more affordable for
low-income households who will no longer have to cope with high utility bills.” Barauskas says while the non-profit looks forward to the long term benefit of reduced energy costs, they decided to pursue the strategy because of their commitment to sustainability. She has reached out to the Office of Sustainability and Los Angeles County Supervisors to help with the remainder of the funding gap. “We’re still in the early stages of making this happen but the City Council commitment has given us the confidence we need to move forward with this concept,” Barauskas said. “Part of our goal with his pilot is to demonstrate to others that you can take an existing building and retrofit it with zero-net energy.” kate@smdp.com
COMMUNITY BRIEFS LOS ANGELES
Writers Guild overwhelmingly ratifies new 3-year contract Members of the Writers Guild of America have overwhelmingly approved a new threeyear contract with television and film producers. The guild announced Wednesday that the new agreement passed by a 99 percent margin, with only 30 members voting no out of nearly 3,650 ballots cast. The agreement will remain in place until May 2020. The ratification comes three weeks after a tentative deal was reached with producers, averting a costly strike that would have caused several popular television series to go dark. The guild has said it won gains across the board, including contributions to the union's health plan and better pay for series with fewer episodes. A memo about the new contract stated members will net $130 million more over the contract's life than earlier proposals from producers. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

BILL FROM PAGE 1
Los Angeles banned the containers in 2008. “I frankly can’t believe we’re still talking about it in 2017.” Santa Monica banned the material from all city facilities and events in 2007 and from private food service providers in 2008. Business owners get a warning on their first violation and escalating fines up to $250 after that. Under the proposed state ban, fines would skyrocket to $1,000 per day for the first violation and up to $5,000 for repeat offenders. A similar bill, AB 568, failed on the Assembly Floor in 2011. The new bill exempts K-12 schools from the ban. Most large school districts like LAUSD have already discontinued use of the material. The industry group GoFoam California opposes the ban and instead supports expanding polystyrene recycling centers. Polystyrene can be recycled in Los Angeles blue bins but not in Santa Monica and can be made into picture frames, crown molding, ballpoint pens and other products. “Forcing stores and restaurants to switch from foam to more expensive alternatives will hurt small businesses and local economies,” the organization wrote on their

website in response to Allen’s bill. “When a small business has to use more expensive products, they have to either increase prices for customers or eat the sunken costs.” But despite the presence of 18 polystyrene recycling plants, the education and outreach manager for Heal the Bay, Nancy Shrodes, says food containers are rarely clean enough to be recycled. If not in pristine condition, recyclers typically toss the containers. Every year, the cost of cleaning up the State’s beaches exceeds $1 billion, according to the Ocean Protection Council. Landbased litter makes up nearly 80% of marine debris and 90 percent of it is plastic, according to a report from the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill will likely be enforced at the local level and the shift from polystyrene to recyclable plastic containers won’t be easy for the entire state. The Senate Committee on Environmental Quality analyzed Allen’s bill and questioned whether every city and county in California will have the infrastructure to cost effectively recycle or compost food-soiled plastic containers by 2021. The Committee suggested adding circumstances where a locality may qualify for more time to comply with the ordinance. kate@smdp.com

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 25)
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
You’re full of energy now, but something will happen in August to induce the calm and focused quality necessary for you to succeed in a very competitive arena. September will exceed your expectations, especially in matters of love. Save your money. The worthy investment won’t come until March 2018. Cancer and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 33, 13, 1 and 40.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
What you want is for the project to succeed. You don’t necessarily want to be the one in charge, but if you don’t lead today, you might run into trouble. Leadership isn’t about asserting your power so much as it’s about executing a plan.
You know more about yourself than you think you do, so the whole self-discovery thing is really unnecessary. What you would be trying to find is what you already are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll find that what you like or dislike doesn’t matter much in the scheme of the day, so you may as well save your breath and mental energy and go with the flow (as opposed to judging the flow).
The way you feel about a certain someone makes it easy for you to think of this person’s wants and needs without knowing or caring in the least what you’ll get out of the deal. It’s love!
Agnes
By TONY COCHRAN
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) The more you understand, the less you blame. However, that doesn’t mean that things don’t need to be structured differently (and perhaps with different people involved) to create a better outcome.
You’ll take part in an activity that seems to pause everything in your own life so you can watch the universe breathing. How can you get more of this phenomenon? You need this in your day to day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your mood can be as changeable as the moon that rules your sign, although only a fellow Cancer can tell now, because you’re also good at hiding how you’re really feeling.
Regarding relationships: It’s true that things aren’t the same as they used to be. There’s beauty and joy in this. Leo Tolstoy said, “Each time of life has its own kind of love.”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The more comfortable and happy you are in your home, the more attractive it becomes to the people who like you. In fact, the whole group may want to meet up at your place. Are you ready for an impromptu party?
Without the looking glass, we cannot see the entirety of how we look on the outside. We need mirrors to reflect back our insides, too. An objective friend will serve this purpose for you today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
There are those who would rather act aloof than risk being rejected by you. But when you come forward warmly, time and again, even the most self-conscious person will drop the defense eventually.
There’s a bit of entertainment to pull off today, but this is not really fun and games. After all, if you want to influence people for any purpose, you have to be able to hold their attention first.

Gemini New Moon If a mistake has been made, don’t make the additional mistake of beating yourself up about it. If that response has any benefit at all, it’s only in the first hot minute. Get over it and seize the huge opportunity today in the Gemini new moon. Fresh starts are real, especially in relationships and in projects that can be finished by the end of June.
