CITY EVENTS

Free Theatre in the Parks The Country Wife Date: September 17 to October 23, 2016 | Time: 3 pm Location: K ings Road Park The City of West Hollywood’s Free Theatre in The Parks presents The Classical Theatre Lab production of The Country Wife.

William Wycherley’s comic masterpiece, The Country Wife, is perhaps the bawdiest of Restoration comedies. Wycherley’s play introduces Horner, who claims to be impotent so that husbands and guardians will suppose him a safe companion for their women. His ruse fools the men of London ensuring Horner his way with any and every woman, especially the beautiful, naïve and newly married Margery. In his rollicking comedy Wycherley satirizes marriage, infidelity, jealousy, and love.

The Country Wife opens Saturday September 17, 2016 at Kings Road Park. Runs Saturdays and Sundays through October 23.

Performances at 3 pm. Chairs provided for seating at the park.

Reservations: (323) 960-5691 or classicaltheatrelab@gmail.com.

Water from rain storms, garden hoses, and sprinklers can cause runoff that collects harmful pollutants like pesticides, pet waste, grass clippings, trash, and automotive fluids. Polluted storm water flows in our street gutters and storm drains, eventually draining untreated to the Santa Monica Bay. Street side storm drain catch basins clogged with pollutants can attract vermin and create foul odors in your neighborhoods. Also, polluted storm water causes health risks to beach goers and marine life.

Here are some tips on how you can help to do your part in keeping storm water runoff clean: 1. Scoop the Poop. Pick up after your pets and dispose of their waste in the trash.

2. Keep It Clean: It is your responsibility to keep sidewalks, curbs and gutters in front of your property clean.

3. Consider installing a rain barrel on your property to harvest the rain. It’s a great way to save money and conserve one of our most precious natural resources!

4. Use water-based paints whenever possible. Never clean brushes or rinse paint containers in the street, gutter or near a storm drain. Clean water based paints in the sink, and oil based paints with thinner. Wrap dried paint residue in newspaper or let it harden in its container and dispose in the trash.

5. Oil Leaks: Identify and fix oil leaks on your vehicle; clean up drips and spills with absorbent material; dispose of used oil properly.

6. Car Washing: The best practice is to use a commercial car wash, where the wash water is recycled. When washing your car at home, wash it on grass, gravel or a pervious surface, e.g. grass pavers, so water can soak into the ground. If you wash your car in a driveway or City street, use water and phosphorous-free soap, sparingly, with a bucket, sponge, and nozzle on the end of the hose to conserve water and minimize the amount of phosphates entering storm drains, streams and the ocean.

7. Prevent soil and debris from leaving your property.

8. Read The Label: Read and follow the label on all fertilizers and pesticides. The label is the law.

9. Yard Maintenance: Put grass, leaves, and yard trimmings into your green waste barrel.
