After a heavy meal, snickerdoodles are the perfect bite By The Culinary Institute of America
The holiday season is such a beloved time of year. The weather turns cool and the snow begins to fall; we spend dedicated time with our family and friends; and children experience old family traditions for the first time. At homes across the country, carefully wrapped plates of homemade cookies are passed among friends and neighbors to celebrate a year of friendship and community. A family's cookie plate is as unique as they are, and so often you can identify the sender by the treats on the plate. Special holiday cookie recipes are an old tradition. In the Middle Ages, spices, butter, and sugar were prized possessions, too expensive for everyday use. At the holidays, cooks would use these ingredients to make small extravagances to share with friends and family. Cookies spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove were common and have stood the test of time. It is believed that the first gingerbread men came from the time of Elizabeth I, who asked for the cookies to be shaped like the men in her court. Cookie recipes have evolved a great deal since the time of Elizabeth, and every family has their list of must-bake cookies. One standout holiday favorite is the snickerdoodle, a sugar cookie that is rolled in cinnamon-sugar before being baked. It is recognizable by its slightly cracked exterior that lets its chewy interior shine through. Unlike many sugar cookSEE RECIPE PAGE 6

Water theme runs through Nov. 22 Council meeting BY MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
City Hall will be wading into a pair of water related topics at the Nov. 22 Council meeting including a study session on land use priorities for the coast and a public hearing on 2017 water rates. The Council’s closed session will include recruitment for a new City Attorney, updates on several lawsuits (including ongoing litigation
RIBBON CUTTINGS
with AirBnB) and negotiations over property sales. The consent calendar includes grants from Homeland Security, property management services at the airport, contracts for building public restrooms and the purchase of protective equipment for firefighters. The first item of substance will be a study session of documents related to Santa Monica’s desire to regain more control of development along the coast.
The Council is being asked to review and comment on the proposed policy direction for the City’s Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan update. The Land Use Plan is one of two documents that will create a new Local Coastal Program for Santa Monica. “The LUP describes the planning area’s land use and environmental conditions, identifies issues, and contains land use policies and
maps that complement adopted City policy and satisfy the intent of the State Coastal Act. The LUP must comply with the Coastal Act and maintain consistency with the General Plan,” said the Staff report. The second element is an Implementation Plan, also known as a Coastal Zoning Ordinance, contains development standards for the coastal zone. SEE WATER PAGE 7

form medicine from a factory-like, impersonal system into a highly personalized and effective solution where doctors can practice what they are passionate about and patients can receive high-quality care in the comfort of their homes, offices or hotels. Tull said: "Heal is uniquely positioned to assume the role of the go-to healthcare option in America. They have the leadership team, technology innovation and vision required to contribute to the transformation of the healthcare industry." Heal's Chief Executive Officer and Cofounder Nick Desai added, "This worldclass team of investors further validates the importance of what we are building and the enormous need for a convenient and personalized healthcare solution. Heal fixes everything bad and broken about healthcare by bringing everything good right to you, wherever you are." Sixty percent of Americans want a doctor who will make house calls, according to a recent study. Heal is radically improving how people receive primary, preventative and urgent care by bringing back the house-call doctor. At the click of a button, Heal delivers unhurried and caring doctors to the patient's home or office, at their convenience. "Heal is reimagining how we receive medical care," said Jim Breyer, founder and chief executive officer of Breyer Capital. "The company is leveraging a
world-class technology platform that seamlessly connects patients and doctors, and capitalizes on tremendous demand for more convenient ways to access high-quality care and other services. I am delighted to partner again with Thomas, and join him in supporting the talented team at Heal, as they enter their next phase of growth, in what I am confident will be another successful venture." This new funding will enable the company to further accelerate its growth through continued technology innovation, increased marketing efforts to reach more patients and to bolster its roster of boardcertified and licensed physicians. Within just a year of launching, Heal currently services all of California, has cared for more than 10,000 patients to date and is in network with Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross of California, Cigna Healthcare, Aetna and United Healthcare. Heal is available for an in-network copay or an all-inclusive, flat rate $99 fee. Licensed physicians are available seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 365 days a year (including all major holidays) for anything a patient might require during a traditional office visit.

Keeping Your Back Strong When Gardening THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS FROM ONE OF
our community gardeners, Ann Shepphird. It was originally posted on her website, GardensToTables.com, which she started when she got her community garden in 2008. As the seasons change and we spend more time in our gardens, it's good to remember to take care of our backs. These yoga stretches for gardeners were first posted here in 2009 courtesy of the Ubuntu restaurant and yoga space in Napa. Ubuntu has sadly since closed but I think we can all agree that the tips themselves are timeless. Happy gardening! If there is one thing that all gardeners share, it's a need to save their backs from all the lifting and bending that goes along with tending their gardens. Here are some tips from Ubuntu Yoga Instructor Courtney Willis on how to create a strong and flexible back through some Yoga Flow for Gardeners. ■ Standing on your feet, reach the arms out and up and bring the palms together way above the head, saluting the sun.
FILM REVIEW
BLEED FOR THIS Rated R 116 Minutes Released November 18th Bleed for This is on the surface the story of a boxer, Vinny Pazienza It is not simply a boxing movie. To paraphrase Aaron Eckardt’s words in the post-screening Q&A, this is a story about perseverance and resilience…about not giving up on a dream. This is a low budget movie, shot for $6 million. The shoot lasted just 24 days, in and around Providence RI, with almost no rehearsal and very few takes for each scene. The fight scenes were shot in Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence; and the scenes of Vinny’s family were all shot in one house. The cast had their dressing rooms in the house, so according to Eckardt, they all felt as if they had taken on the life of Vinny’s family in their cramped quarters. That detail added with great realism to the film. All the characters in the movie come to life realistically. Pazienza loved boxing and truly made an art of it. The sport was his form of expression. It was also the basis of his life. Miles Teller as Pazienza is able to communicate this – he has the frenetic energy to bring to life this extraordinary real life character. Rhode Islanders love Pazienza so much that the filmmakers were able to get 2000 volunteers to serve as extras for the fight scenes, giving their time for 12-hour days. He is a statewide hero. The actors do a superb job - Miles Teller,
■ Slowly, bend the knees and bring your hands to the Earth, relax the head and breath here, working on extending the hips upward. ■ Lie on your back and bend the legs. Lift the hips and wiggle your shoulders under the back until you can clasp the hands. For a therapeutic variation. you can bring the hands to the hips, fingers facing outward. ■ This pose is an important counter pose for all the forward bending you do in the garden. ■ From here, release the spine to the Earth, create a 'T' with your arms and slowly drop your legs to one side and bring you gaze to the opposite arm. ■ Repeat on the other side. This gentle sequence is accessible to every BODY and can be done before AND after a day in the garden. Want to learn more about the Santa Monica Community Gardens?

Aaron Eckhart, Katey Sagal and Ciaran Hinds specifically. Aaron so embodies the freeform high energy of flawed trainer Kevin Rooney that he seems to have become the character. Katey Sagal as Pazienza’s mother, is practically unrecognizable, as she manifests a character so different from the roles she is known for. She proves herself to be really a very fine actress here. Irish actor Ciaran Hinds also seems to perfectly fit the character of Vinny’s Rhode Islander/Italian Dad. Eckhart likes to box as a personal workout, so relished the chance to research his role by working with Manny Pacquiao’s trainer, picking up his mannerisms and lingo. Some aspects of the story are handled very well. Original TV newscasts about Vinny and period shots of the Providence area and Las Vegas add realism. Juxtapositions of scenes, for example Vinny’s view of a hospital room, into his mother prayer at the religious shrine she has set up in a foyer of her home, provide emotional impact. In all, if the movie had about 20 minutes less narrative it would be even more gripping. All in all, Bleed for This is a wonderful story about an exceptional young man who overcame huge odds to be the best that he could be at what he loved doing.

Daily Press published a Guest Author column from Robin Sherry and Barbara Bronie, members of the Steering Committee of the tobacco control advocacy group Smoke-Free Living Santa Monica. In the column they explained some of the reasons that the Santa Monica ordinance regulating smoking in apartments and condominiums is not protecting residents as well as had been hoped. The law requires no smoking in common areas such as courtyards and on private balconies and patios. It also requires no smoking in all new vacancies, including in newly rented or purchased condominiums. However, the law allows existing tenants to continue to smoke in their apartments. Although managers and owners are required to provide information to prospective tenants about the location of smoking permitted units, no-smoking leases are not required for new tenants, and the City does not enforce the law. Instead, residents who are suffering must enforce the law themselves. Sherry and Bronie invited residents who are continuing to suffer from tobacco smoke to contact them. Here are some of the responses. Names have been changed or not used at the request of the respondents. A condo owner, Tony, explained that his windows are very close to an adjacent apartment building. Several residents in that building are smoking on their balconies. He has not been able to discover the names, or even the unit numbers of the people who are smoking, so he can’t even begin to take any action about enforcing the law so that he can protect his family. A senior resident in a large apartment complex, Carol, also has a problem with tobacco smoke. New renters are smoking in their units. When she asked for the contact information of these new residents from the management of her building so that she could take some action to protect herself, they stated they could not provide it. Although the Santa Monica ordinance requires the tenant to notify the renter who is violating the law, the landlord can refuse to provide the renter’s contact information on the grounds of “invasion of privacy.” This is one more reason (in addition to no requirement for a non-smoking lease for new tenants) the current law is ineffective and needs to be changed. Another kind of problem was reported by Leonard who explained that not only are his next-door neighbors smoking in their unit, but also that a lot of tenants are smoking in the building’s courtyard. He can look down from his balcony and see the cigarette butts. It’s challenging enough to try to convince one tenant to comply with the law, but when there are many tenants not in compliance, it’s very difficult for one person alone to take action.
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 in their units have changed their behavior and now smoke away from the property. So the law has had some impact with people who are willing to abide by it. So even if a resident attempts to enforce the law, there can be insurmountable obstacles. First, the law requires that you speak to the person who is not in compliance, and if that has no effect, the law requires that you send a letter to the person who is smoking. If that also has no effect, the law suggests that you sue the person who is smoking in Small Claims Court. If the judge rules in your favor, the fine against the person who is smoking is $100 which you are then authorized to collect from that person. But the court cannot require compliance with the law. As a retired judge has pointed out, Small Claims Court is not an appropriate venue for this kind of problem. Cities have the responsibility under state law to protect the health of residents. (CA Health and Safety Code 101450: "The governing body of a city shall take measures necessary to preserve and protect the public health, including regulation of sanitary matters in the city, and including if indicated, the adoption of ordinances, regulations and orders not in conflict with general laws.") Although fewer than 12% of California’s adult population are still smoking tobacco products (according to the California Department of Public Health), too many Santa Monica residents are not in compliance with the smoke-free housing law. It is time for that law to be re-evaluated and improved. Requiring management to give a no smoking lease to all new residents will at least ensure that they are informed about the law. But most of all, the city needs to prohibit smoking in all units and to enforce the law with the same effort and determination used to enforce the Rent Control Law and the new law which regulates AirBnB. The Rent Control law is about protecting tenants from exorbitant rent increases and unscrupulous landlords. That’s important. But being exposed to tobacco smoke is about illness and even death. The law should protect everyone from inhaling tobacco smoke in their homes. Our final Guest Author Column will offer information about how smoke-free housing laws are being enforced in other California cities, including in Berkeley, another California city with strict rent control.

ies that are unleavened and rolled for cutting, our snickerdoodles contain both baking soda and cream of tartar. Because they are so mild in flavor, they often have a characteristic tanginess that can be attributed to those ingredients. After a heavy meal, Snickerdoodles are the perfect bite to satisfy a sweet tooth. This recipe calls for a #40 scoop, which is just about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie, but you can make your cookies as big or small as you would like. For smaller cookies, increase the temperature slightly and reduce the baking time. For larger cookies, decrease the temperature and increase
SNICKERDOODLES Servings: About 2 dozen cookies 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup light brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar Cinnamon Sugar, as needed, for garnish (recipe follows) ■ Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. ■ In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, gently blend the butter, sugars, and salt on medium speed until combined, 2 minutes. ■ Gradually add the eggs and vanilla, scraping down the bowl after each addition. ■ Sift the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar together. Add to the creamed mixture and

the baking time slightly. Either way, your nose will know when these cookies are done, and your home will be filled with the scent of the holidays. Like most cookies, snickerdoodles are the perfect make-ahead recipe. The cookies can either be fully baked, cooled, and frozen, or you can prepare the dough, scoop the cookies onto a baking sheet, and freeze them to bake later. Remove your cookies from the freezer the day before use. Just be sure to tuck them away somewhere safe, since cookie radar is strong at the holidays.

This recipe also can be found in The Culinary Institute of America's cookbook, "Cookies At Home."
mix on low just until combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed. ■ Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a #40 scoop about 1 1/2 inches apart and refrigerate until firm. ■ Roll the chilled dough in Cinnamon Sugar to coat. Flatten slightly with your hands. ■ Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Rotate and switch the baking sheets as necessary for even baking. ■ Allow the cookies to cool for a minute on the baking sheets then transfer, using a spatula, to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container.

Once both documents are certified by the Coastal Commission, Santa Monica would become the primary authority for issuing development permits in the coastal zone. “The Coastal Commission would retain permanent coastal permit jurisdiction over development proposed on tidelands, submerged lands, and public trust lands, and would also act on appeals of local government coastal development permit decisions within a certain area inward from the coastline,” said the report. “The Coastal Commission also reviews and approves any amendments to previously certified Local Coastal Programs.” Up to this point, the Coastal Commission has retained authority over local coastal projects because Santa Monica previously adopted an LUP but did not adopt an Implementation Plan. Staff said revised documents are needed to account for the many changes along the coast including the arrival of Expo, plans for the Civic Center, revival of the Pier and construction of the Annenberg Beach House. The Coastal Commission also wants revised documents that will incorporate their new programs and policies related to climate change. Staffs are specifically asking for Council input on five topics. Coastal Access is the first item on the list. Council is expected to discuss a “multimodal approach to coastal access” that will utilize parking throughout the zone including at the Civic Center and Main Street. New activity could be supported by multi-modal access with a small reduction in Pier parking and the use of traffic plans instead of requiring additional parking near the pier. When discussing scenic and visual resources council will be asked to remove to “scenic view corridors” that do not offer coastal views (the Santa Monica Freeway and the Third Street Promenade) while exploring other scenic viewpoints suggested by the Planning Commission. In relation to sea level rise, council will be asked to consider “a phased approach to adaptation strategies and development

restrictions based on measurement and documentation of actual sea level rise and the anticipated life span of proposed projects. This phased approach would create thresholds and ‘trigger’ points at which the City would need to adopt more definitive standards, requirements and adaptation programs applicable to affected coastal areas with favor for lower-impact deterrents such as dunes rather than sea walls.” Additional discussion will focus on aligning the LUP’s development standards with existing zoning documents and reformulation of the low-cost visitor accommodation replacement fee. The Council agenda lists a public hearing on the State of the Water Fund Report and 2017 Water Rate Adjustment. Staff are recommending a 5 percent water rate increase for 2017. The recommendation is less than the previously approved 9 percent increase and is based on changes to the city’s Water Fund capital program that creates better budget projections. Council previously approved five annual 9 percent rate increases in starting in 2015. While the first increase was at the full 9 percent, the 2016 increase was only 5 percent due to better than expected revenues. “The recommended rate adjustment would be sufficient to allow the City to fund necessary operating and capital programs; to deliver potable water to Santa Monica customers reliably, safely and sustainably in compliance with federal and state regulations; and stay on track to achieve water selfsufficiency as planned by 2020,” said the staff report. “The recommended 5% water rate increase for 2017 instead of the previously approved 9% increase would be effective for calendar year 2017 on bills issued on or about March 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018, with up to 9% increases authorized for 2018 and 2019 pending annual evaluation by Council and staff.” Council meets at City Hall, 1685 Main St. on Nov. 22. Closed session begins at 5:30 p.m. Visit http://www.smgov.net/departments/clerk/agendas.aspx for more information. editor@smdp.com

DELAWARE AVE. 10 WEST
Local, Secure, and Family run for over 30 years
ON NOV. 7, AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 P.M. Officers were patrolling the 400 block of California Ave. and saw a car traveling westbound with its headlights off. Officers conducted a traffic stop at the 1000 block of 4th St. for a vehicle code violation. Upon contacting them, both the driver and the passenger gave the officers false names and told them they did not have any identification on them. Officers asked the female driver to step out of the car and then asked her if they could search. The driver claimed the car belonged to her father and that all the property inside it was his, but consented to the search. During their search, the officers found an ID card and several credit cards belonging to different people, along with a bag full of various trading cards. They also found an embossing machine and a laptop computer, as well as other devices used for creating fictitious credit cards. The officers then called the owner of the ID card they found and learned her locker at self-storage facility in Hawthorne had been burglarized the week before. Both suspects were then taken into custody and booked for identity theft and the burglary in Hawthorne. During the booking in the jail, officers found methamphetamine hidden on the female suspect. Laura Kimberly Valentin, 26, homeless, had bail set at $500. Luis Carlos Carrillo, 40 was also arrested.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19)
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
Your birthday boon is the answer to a question that's been plaguing you. Maybe this comes in the form of a person you lost track of or a dream you let go of. Well, it's all coming back now. In the year 2017 you'll dance your way into someone's heart, and you'll find that someone has taken residence in yours, too. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 11, 24 and 3.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
When you hear the other person call, but you don't feel any urgency to answer it -- that's a sign you want to look into a little further. You'll find that your reasons are valid.
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 to another, you might find that hard to watch.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Leave the past behind. That was the old you. Ahead is the new you. There are people who don't even know you, and this is the person they'll think is the only you.
Your temper is like the black box of an airplane. It's locked away with a log of everything that happened before. If all goes well, it will never be significant. And usually all goes well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Building needs stability. Whether it's a relationship, a business or an actual building, stability is among the first tenants of the build. A person who is in turmoil is not a person you can build with.
If you should give your heart to someone and that person, it turns out, takes the responsibility very seriously, this is among the best things in life to be cherished, and cherish it you will.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You've wide-open eyes today, and what you see is that there are many hard things in life. Good news: They don't all come at once. This is a huge benefit! The pacing of things is definitely on your side.
What in the world would you do without XYZ? The answer is, truly, you'd go on. But XYZ makes it all so much better. And this is as good a time as any to celebrate XYZ. Do it!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Everything is impossible until it's done, and soon after it's de rigueur. That thing you want to do -- well, you need to put a little more mind and elbow into it, that's all. Soon it's as good as done.
Love needs a gesture. It needs a signal. It's a feeling that doesn't mean much without its expression. Don't feel love; (SET ITAL) do (END ITAL) love. Love needs to be done today.
Agnes
Dogs of C-Kennel
By TONY COCHRAN
By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your way is right. Your heart is true. Your vision is the best for all involved. Now, the thing is, without getting the others on board, none of that will matter. Go and be charming!
The casual answer does not always convey the casual feeling. Look past it; hear through it. Use the intuition that is your cosmic gift. That might be unfair, as you're always using it -- but are you always trusting it?
