Edda Manriquez, the founder of LEFUFF recently described her inspiration for beginning the organization.“Irealized that there weren’t too many experimental and underground film festivals geared towards showcasing exclusively feminist work … Since [our first festival], LEFUFF has traveled all throughout the Southwest, including San Diego and Arizona,” Manriquez said. With regards to the film festival this upcoming weekend, Manriquez explained why the organization chose Santa Monica. “The Aero is such a historic location. The space is beautiful. It was nice to have an event at a place where you feel the same energy and passion for cinema,” Manriquez said, later adding, “It felt like coming home to a place where our hearts have always been.” In the film, Woodlawn plays Eve Harrington, a small-town girl who moves to New York in pursuit of becoming a star. Widely considered one of the most important trans actresses during the 1970s, Woodlawn is best known for her role as the muse to Lou Reed’s 1972 rock song, “Walk on the Wild Aero to host feminist film festival this Saturday

The Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) is requesting the public’s help identifying additional victims in a case the Santa Monica City Attorney’s Office is building against a convicted sex offender who is suspected of sexual battery that took place in Santa Monica earlier this summer.

Some of the cities and counties included in the bill have potential public funding streams. For example, Los Angeles County voters in 2020 passed Measure J, which allows the county to use at least 10% of its locally generated, unrestricted funding for community investment programs, which could include overdose prevention programs.

For years, the idea of establishing supervised drug injection sites has been a long-standing goal for some progressive California leaders looking to address the burgeoning overdose crisis. Efforts to launch such programs have come close, but never to the finish line. Now, as the latest legislation seeking to sanction these sites heads to the governor’s desk, proponents are gearing up to make these injection sites a reality — and they hope a success — in the Golden State. Senate Bill 57 would authorize these overdose prevention pilot programs in Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, which would operate through Jan. 1, 2028. While former Gov. Jerry Brown rejected similar legislation in 2018, supporters are hopeful Gov. Gavin Newsom will sign this one after he said he was open to the idea during his campaign for governor. “We have been engaging with the governor’s office for the past four years on this measure. We haven’t heard that he’s not going to sign it, so we’re hopeful that he’ll stick to his word from 2018,” said Jeannette Zanipatin, California state director of the Drug Policy Alliance, an advocacy group that works to decriminalize drugs and a co-sponsor of the bill. Alex Stack, a spokesperson for the governor’s office, said they don’t comment on pending legislation. But if Newsom does sign it, what exactly would these sites look like? Who would be responsible for staffing them and how will they be funded? The details and logistics will be left to local officials. Because San Francisco has been considering this idea for almost a decade, it would likely be the first ready to launch a program in early 2023, Zanipatin said. Supervised injection sites could cost a couple of million dollars per year to run, and cities and counties that choose to establish these programs will have to find their own source of funding.Lastyear, New York City became the first to establish supervised injection sites in the U.S. Cities in other countries have operated such centers for years, including Vancouver, Mexicali and Barcelona. The Vancouver site is often referenced as a model — with about 1,700 individuals using it each month, the center is credited with reducing overdose deaths in its neighborhood and city. Switzerland was the first country to open a supervised injection site in 1986.

California’s second swing at this policy comes as the Biden administration is also embracing “harm reduction” strategies — which focus on keeping drug users alive and safe rather than punishing them. Needle exchange programs and programs that distribute the overdose reversal drug naloxone are some examples. Among those urging the governor to veto the bill is the Senate Republican Caucus.

Overdose deaths from fentanyl jumped from 1,603 in 2019 to 3,946 in 2020, and then to 5,722 in 2021, according to the California Opioid Overdose Surveillance Dashboard.

Supervised drug injection sites could soon pop up in California.

Laura Thomas, director of HIV and harm reduction policy at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, another co-sponsor of the bill, said she doesn’t think getting people into these centers will be a challenge. “Overwhelmingly, people would prefer to use in a clean space. No one wants to be using drugs on the sidewalk. If we give people a better option they will use it,” she said. An often-referenced survey of 602 injection drug users in San Francisco showed that 85% would use a supervised injection site. About 75% of them said they would use it at least three days per week. The idea, according to supporters, is to build trust with people who come in, prompting them to spread the word and eventually link people to treatment when they are ready. These centers often look like a clinic, and people usually go through a brief interview when they first walk in. Thomas said that while it would be ideal for such centers to be open 24/7, realistically, hours of operation would be dependent on funding. That same San Francisco study showed that 62% of the drug users surveyed preferred a supervised injection site to be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Funding could prove to be a challenge in the long term. In New York City, where two safe injection sites opened last fall, the city and state do not pay for them. The nonprofits running the programs seek private donations, making it difficult for the centers to extend their hours or expand into other neighborhoods.Asupervised injection site in San Francisco is estimated to cost about $2.6 million a year, according to RTI International, a nonprofit researchThomasinstitute.said California community organizations that already work in the field of substance use disorders would be bestequipped to run the programs, but funding should come from public health departments because they are a public benefit.

“We’re also hoping that these pilot projects serve as a catalyst and identify some privatepublic partnerships,” Zanipatin said.

How will they work?

The goal of these programs, supporters say, is to provide drug users a safe, hygienic space where they can get clean needles and administer their own drugs under the supervision of trained staff. Staff members would monitor users and be ready to administer overdose reversal medications if needed, which could ultimately save lives. Medical groups in support of these programs have pointed out injection sites could also help reduce the risk of Hepatitis C and HIV infections associated with intravenous drug use.Sen. Scott Wiener, author of the bill, said the jurisdictions that would pilot the programs asked to be included in the bill. “They are asking us to help them address the escalations and crisis of overdose deaths that we’re experiencing in California,” Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, said during an Aug. 1 legislative hearing. Those in opposition to Wiener’s bill, including Republican legislators and law enforcement groups, argue these programs are a type of addiction maintenance that normalize illegal behavior. Before setting up their overdose prevention programs, the cities and counties must provide local health and law enforcement officials the opportunity to weigh in. Once set up, these centers must make referrals to substance use disorder treatment programs and other social services if the user wishes to access them. The bill would also protect people from criminal charges for using the sites. The overdose crisis has become one of the most pressing public health issues, with deaths and emergency room visits spiking in recent years, in large part due to the infiltration of the synthetic opioid fentanyl.

“Fueling the drug epidemic with drug dens and needle supplies is like pouring gasoline on a forest fire. It merely worsens the problem,” the caucus wrote in an Aug. 1 letter to Newsom.Lawenforcement organizations have stated their opposition to the bill, saying it sends the wrong message to the public and fails to address addiction at its root. Wiener and supporters of the bill say supervised injection sites will not solve the overdose crisis. Rather, the goal is to prevent deaths.Opponents have also raised concerns about the bill not providing a “cognizable strategy for figuring out how to get the addict to the injection site,” John Lovell, a lobbyist with the California Narcotic Officers’ Association, said during last week’s hearing. “What injection sites do is there is a magnet effect so that people come into the area,” but that doesn’t mean they will actually go inside the facility, he said.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which provides water for nearly half the state’s residents, is building a massive water recycling project. Congress included $1 billion for water reuse projects in the West in the infrastructure bill passed lastNewsomyear. has resisted conservation mandates, instead calling on Californians to voluntarily reduce their water use by 15%, a target that the state is far from meeting. He’s asked the state’s more than 400 local water districts to implement their own plans to reduce water use and has set a few statewide policies, like a ban on watering decorative grass.The new proposal doesn’t call for any immediate, mandatory cuts to water use in cities or on farms. Instead, he wants the State Water Resources Control Board to develop efficiency targets for every district, but they would only take effect next spring if there’s another dry winter. He’s also proposing spending $1 billion to get rid of 500,000 square feet of turf. But Newsom said he wants the Legislature to consider a law that would let the state curtail people’s water rights even when its not a drought. The state operates an archaic system of water rights to govern how much water cities, farms and others are entitled to take and from where. An effort is underway to digitize records that spell out those terms, some more than a century old. Desalination would make up only about 3% of the added water supply Newsom is calling for, most of it coming from brackish water, which isn’t as salty as water that comes from the ocean. His plan doesn’t spell out how much water would come from removing salt from ocean water, a more controversial practice, but he’s calling on various state agencies to create a process for citing such projects by 2023.

The City of Santa Monica invites licensed pedicab operators in good standing to apply for a decal to operate non-electric pedicabs on the Beach Bike-Path for permit year 2022-23.

KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press California should invest tens of billions of dollars in water recycling, storage and desalination over the next two decades to shore up its supply as the state gets drier and hotter, Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a proposal released Thursday. It comes as drought continues to grip the U.S. West and the state prepares to lose 10% of its water supply by 2040, according to projections by the Department of Water Resources. The Democratic governor discussed the proposal at the construction site of a plant to remove salts from river water that should be fresh, the type of project he said the state needs more of in the coming years.His proposed water recycling targets, which would make treated waste water safe for drinking, would cost $27 billion by 2040, his proposal said. That was the biggest price tag associated with the plan, which also relies on billions in money already approved in past state budgets. The plan envisions that money coming from both state and federal sources.Intotal, he wants to boost water annual supply by nearly 3 million acre feet each year; one acre foot can supply about two households.Hisplanalso calls to expand water storage, in above-ground reservoirs and underground aquifers, by about 4 million acre feet — nearly enough water to fill Shasta Lake, the state’s largest reservoir. New storage infrastructure would help the state capture more water during times of heavy rain, like the two large storms California saw last October and December.Theproposal comes amid the third year of a drought, the state’s second in the past decade. Most of the state’s major reservoirs are far below normal levels after the state saw its driest January through March in at least a century.

The state has already put $350 million aside for hundreds of projects aimed at making it easier to recharge groundwater storage. He’s also committing to pushing forward with seven water storage projects funded by a 2014 bond that voters passed, including a delayed reservoir project. State Sen. Brian Dahle, a Republican running against Newsom in this fall’s election, said he supports building more reservoirs, water recycling and desalination, but that he doubts the governor’s plan will come with real follow through.

“On August 5, 2022, SMPD Officers arrested Barrett in the downtown area,” the SMPD report continued. According to the SMPD press release, the City Attorney’s Office filed criminal charges against Barrett on Aug. 9 alleging sexual battery and failure to register as a sex offender. Police investigators believe Barrett has been in Southern California since at least June of this year, primarily traveling between Downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica.

Newsom: California must boost water recycling, desalination

The nation’s top public health agency relaxed its COVID-19 guidelines Thursday, dropping the recommendation that Americans quarantine themselves if they come into close contact with an infected person.

Public schools in Los Angeles are ending weekly COVID-19 tests, instead making at-home tests available to families, the district announced last week. Schools in North Carolina’s Wake County also dropped weekly testing.Some others have moved away from testto-stay programs that became unmanageable during surges of the omicron variant last school year. The American Federation of Teachers, one of the nation’s largest teachers unions, said it welcomes the guidance. “Every educator and every parent starts every school year with great hope, and this year even more so,” President Randi Weingarten said. “After two years of uncertainty and disruption, we need as normal a year as possible so we can focus like a laser on what kidsTheneed.”new recommendations prioritize keeping children in school as much as possible, said Joseph Allen, director of Harvard University’s healthy building program. Previous isolation policies forced millions of students to stay home from school, he said, even though the virus poses a relatively low risk to young people. “Entire classrooms of kids had to miss school if they were deemed a close contact,” he said. “The closed schools and learning disruption have been devastating.” Others say the CDC is going too far in relaxing its Allowingguidelines.studentsto return to school five days after infection, without proof of a negative COVID-19 test, could lead to outbreaks in schools, said Anne Sosin, a public health researcher at Dartmouth College. That could force entire schools to close temporarily if teachers get sick in large numbers, a dilemma that some schools faced last year. “All of us want a stable school year, but wishful thinking is not the strategy for getting there,” she said. “If we want a return to normal in our schools, we have to invest in the conditions for that, not just drop everything haphazardly like we’re seeing across the country.”Theaverage numbers of reported COVID19 cases and deaths have been relatively flat this summer, at around 100,000 cases a day and 300 to 400 deaths. The CDC previously said that if people who are not up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations come into close contact with a person who tests positive, they should stay home for at least five days. Now the agency says quarantining at home is not necessary, but it urges those people to wear a highquality mask for 10 days and get tested after five.The agency continues to say that people who test positive should isolate from others for at least five days, regardless of whether they were vaccinated. CDC officials advise that people can end isolation if they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication and they are without symptoms or the symptoms are improving.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said people no longer need to stay at least 6 feet away from others.

quarantine, screening recommendations for COVID-19

Associated Press

The changes, which come more than 2 1/2 years after the start of the pandemic, are driven by a recognition that an estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity, either from being vaccinated or infected, agency officials said. “The current conditions of this pandemic are very different from those of the last two years,” said the CDC’s Greta Massetti, an author of the guidelines. The CDC recommendations apply to everyone in the U.S., but the changes could be particularly important for schools, which resume classes this month in many parts of thePerhapscountry. the biggest education-related change is the end of the recommendation that schools do routine daily testing, although that practice can be reinstated in certain situations during a surge in infections, officials said. The CDC also dropped a “test-to-stay” recommendation, which said students exposed to COVID-19 could regularly test — instead of quarantining at home — to keep attending school. With no quarantine recommendation anymore, the testing option disappeared too.

Masks continue to be recommended only in areas where community transmission is deemed high, or if a person is considered at high risk of severe illness. School districts across the U.S. have scaled back their COVID-19 precautions in recent weeks even before the latest guidance was issued. Some have promised a return to prepandemic schooling. Masks will be optional in most districts when classes resume this fall, and some of the nation’s largest districts have dialed back or eliminated COVID-19 testing requirements.

While Jerry and the activist community have been remarkably successful in peace and earth-friendly causes, less known are Marissa’s crucial contributions. For example, she not only provided posters and artwork, but she was also an integral part of organizing Tree Hugging Friends, which has been holding public events in Santa Monica for 12 years. The same is true of her role with Treesavers, which rescued over 150 ficus trees on 2nd and 4th in downtown Santa Monica that today provides shade, environmental integrity and even home to Christmas lights during the holiday season. Marissa also helped mightily with saving Chain Reaction, the 26-foot-tall peace monument and public art sculpture of the late Paul Conrad, the three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning L.A. Times political cartoonist. Marissa not only contributed the first $100 of a fund that grew to $100,000, but she also created posters and other memorable art that promoted the monument and helped it remain proudly in the Santa Monica Civic Center.

Marissa Rubin, 82, passed away July 28, following the devastating effects of stage four pancreatic cancer. She was a peace activist, a devoted art therapist for emotionally disturbed adolescents at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and the loving wife of Jerry Rubin, the colorful and occasionally controversial activist.

Tributes to Marissa were still arriving as she lay on her hospice bed, such as a California Legislative Assembly Certificate of Recognition sponsored by Assemblyman Richard Bloom. In addition, Julie Weiss, author of “The Marathon Goddess,” dedicated her latest marathon medal to Marissa to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research, the disease that took Julie’s father’s life. Marissa was so beloved she was viewed as angelic. Jerry is known for numerous positive attributes such as his perseverance, but I doubt being an angel is one of them. That said, he adored Marissa for the past 40 years. In fact, Jerry says Marissa was the “absolutely perfect wife,” but quipped, “Though, I can’t recall anyone ever saying I was ‘the absolutely perfect husband.’” (Careful laughing at Jerry’s jokes because that only encourages him.) How Jerry and Marissa first met was a delightful mixture of destiny and humor. In the early 1980s there was a popular dance studio above Radio Shack on Santa Monica Blvd., Dance Home, that welcomed free spirits who loved dancing, even if you danced alone. So it was Jerry, solo dancing, who inadvertently bumped into Marissa and nearly knocked her down. For Jerry it was love at first sight, which explains how, before the evening was over, he was giving Marissa a soothing foot massage. And the rest, as they say, was the history of a beautiful romance. (And four decades of tireless advocacy for world peace and theIndependentenvironment.)of each other, Marissa and Jerry changed their birth names. Marissa was born Maxine and changed it while moving from the Bronx to attend UCLA where she earned her Master’s in Art. Jerry, now 78, legally changed his name to Jerry Peace Activist Rubin on his 60th birthday. (In small part to avoid any confusion between himself and the famous, or to some, infamous, Jerry Rubin of the Chicago 8 trial.) Actually, when Jerry worked his table on the Promenade selling progressive bumper stickers, occasionally he’d get asked “Are you the Jerry Rubin from the 1960s?” With that setup, Jerry couldn’t resist. “No that’s not me,” he’d say tongue in cheek, “but please don’t tell my wife as I’ve kept it secret for decades.”

virus, which was just declared a public health emergency earlier this month. “While cases and hospitalizations remain elevated in LA County, the good news is that our numbers are significantly improving,” LA County Department of Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said of local COVID-19 cases at the start of the town hall. And, although many parents expressed alarm over monkeypox, experts on the call said there was little to fear from that virus spreading in schools, since it is extremely rare in school-aged populations and spreads almost exclusively via prolonged touching. The overall message from the town hall was that the same best practices used to stop the spread of the coronavirus also apply to monkeypox and influenza, and should be put into practice once school resumes.Dr.Dawn Terashita, associate director of the LA County Acute Communicable Disease Control Program, said that monkeypox remained very rare, but shared common symptoms to look out for: primarily, a rash that “begins as a flat, red spot and progresses to bumps or blisters before scabbing over and resolving.”

Information from LA County Public Health Physician Dr. Nava Yeganeh

In the case of COVID, as well as the flu, Terashita recommended vaccinations as the first defense against infection, together with other basics such as staying home while feeling sick and wearing masks during periods of high transmission. Other health officials agreed. “First, you know, general hygiene, hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene is basic infection control against any number of infectious agents, including COVID-19,” Dr. Rob Gilchick, who serves as the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Section Chief for the LADPH, said. “If there’s any advantages or positive things that have come about as a result of this pandemic, maybe one of them is more of this attention to hand washing and cleaning, sanitizing. So, it remains important that schools make available running water, soap, paper towels or air dryers to dry hands, as well as hand sanitizer in places, in the halls or in rooms, so that it’s easily accessible to everyone.”

Masks remain voluntary at Santa Monica schools, but in accordance with LADPH guidelines, are “strongly recommended” for indoorSuperintendentuse.

Ben Drati wrote in a recent message to the school community that the District was “leaning toward” voluntary weekly antigen testing, with anyone testing positive being asked to report the result to their school site and stay home, following the honor system.

Ferrer received intense community pushback after initially suggesting LA County implement a new indoor mask mandate during the peak of the latest COVID-19 virus surge earlier this summer. While indoor masking is still required in several settings including healthcare facilities, carceral facilities and on transit, schools do not have a mask mandate; rather, masking is “strongly recommended.” Ferrer defended this recommendation during the town hall on Wednesday. “I know a lot of people hear from us, ‘It’s just a strong recommendation,’ and feel like, you know, that means it’s not that important, but a strong recommendation from the Health Department means it is really important,” Ferrer said, pointing in particular to higher-risk community members or those who live with people at elevated risk for severe illness. When it comes to local preparations, all Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) students and staff are asked to take an antigen test prior to returning to school. Tests will be provided by each school site.

CLASSIFIEDYOURHERE was yoga, which clearly contributed to her undeniable serenity. And maybe it was a factor in how she and Jerry so courageously and openly dealt with her terminal cancer by publicly sharing that, while death is indeed sad, it’s just a part of life.Marissa was a terrific mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was so unconditionally supportive that many viewed her as their best friend. And Marissa proudly honored that responsibility. But, given a story Jerry loves to tell, it’s possible her greatest designation might have been “Santa Monica’s Best Wife Ever.” First, understand that Jerry is a hardcore sports fan. (And that “fan” is derived from the word “fanatic.”) In 2009, the Yankees were about to meet the Phillies in the World Series, which presented a problem because Jerry was raised in Philadelphia whereas Marissa was raised in the Bronx. But, when Marissa could see how passionately Jerry loved the Phillies, she decided to root for them, too. Jerry was so appreciative of Marissa’s gracious support he even saw it as a possible good omen. Unfortunately, however, the Yanks won the series 4 games to 2. But, even to this day, Jerry jokingly insists that were it not for Marissa the Phillies might have lost 4 games to 0. Marissa Rubin, a life so well lived, R.I.P.! In Marissa’s honor, donations to the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, pancreatic.org, will be lovingly appreciated. A celebration of Marissa’s remarkable life will take place at 2 p.m. on Oct. 16 at the Children’s Tree of Life located at Ocean Avenue and Colorado in Palisades Park.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Part of having a strong will is having a strong won’t. You’re clear on your personal policies, but others need to be briefed. Once they understand what you’re about, they will stop asking you for the wrong things.

PUZZLES

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t like to lean on people, but this is what will reveal the strength of the bond. To be so diligently self-sufficient that you rob someone of the chance to feel needed would be a mistake. Everyone needs to be needed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Quiet confidence is attractive while arrogance is repellent. You’ll walk the line like a graceful tightrope artist. Tonight, what usually takes hours to accomplish will be done in but the few minutes you have to spend on it.

HOROSCOPES

You’ll love deeply and gain a wider range of experiences than you ever thought would come with opening your heart to someone. A financial experiment pays off. Other highlights include new habits around health and fitness, a promotion related to your consistently stellar attitude and performance, and a fun purchase. Scorpio and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 12, 39, 2 and 47.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 12)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Author Albert Pike suggested that “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” You’ll challenge the premise with legendary actions taken on your own behalf.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Take advantage of the sunshine. The golden rays will wash away your problems, or at least make them seem much smaller. Tonight features an exchange. What matters is not how much you give but the feeling behind it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As much as you wish you could take something back, there is no “back,” only forward with knowledge that can be applied to different choices. No route is better than another. Each one is an equal and different adventure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Beware of entities that seem to fulfill an appetite while actually creating one instead. With some things, accumulating more only makes you feel like you need more. An Aquarius is your loyalSCORPIOcheerleader.(Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not on cloud nine, but you’re familiar with its elevation. You may be unconsciously limiting the amount of pleasure to fit in with the people around you -- a sign to change up your company.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There may be safety in numbers but not necessarily power. The committee will somehow weaken the thrust of the group. Do you dare do it on your own? There’s strength in a singular vision right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A sense of anticipation permeates. There is a feeling of being in between moments, on the brink of a transformation that may or may not happen. While hopeful for change, you’re also aware it’s not entirely within your control.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Excellent relationships come in many forms. Some have a daily rhythm and others connect rarely, but you’ve a warm heart space that’s always open for your people regardless of how often you talk. Love flows in your world.
