City Warily Approves Term Limit Ballot Initiative Councilmembers voice opposition but will let voters decide. By Sam Catanzaro

Santa Monica City Councilmembers debated the merits of term limits Tuesday night, July 24, before approving a measure that will put the matter before voters in the November election. “I feel that the power of incumbency is so great and the fact that this is a volunteer position makes it something that other members of our citizen body should be able to serve in,” said Councilmember Sue Himmelrich. “I know so many young people in the City who would be responsible and responsive members of the City Council.” Over the past 24 years, Santa Monica City Council has seen only two incumbents defeated in elections. The Santa Monica Transparency Project in response circulated a petition that calls for a three-term limit for Councilmembers. The petition received 19,166 signatures, 18,943 of which were verified by the City Clerk. “Term limits give voters a real chance for change and bring in fresh perspectives and ideas. Term limits encourage potential candidates to run and foster healthy competition,” wrote Mary Marlow, Chair of the Santa Monica Transparency Project in the petition. “Incumbents are elected over and over again because of name recognition and
the power of the incumbency.” Despite unanimously approving the petition that will put the question of term limits on the ballot, Himmelrich, who cosigned the petition with Marlow and has vowed to step down after three terms, was the only Councilmember who expressed support for term limits. Councilmember Kevin McKeown, who has served 20 years on the Council, believes voters should have the final say in the matter because of due process, but argued that term limits infringe on voters’ rights. “This is described on the staff report as limiting the time a person can serve on the City Council, but it can just as easily be described as a ballot measure that will limit the voters' options,” McKeown said. “I have been elected to the City Council five times now, the last three times I was the top vote-getter, which indicates to me, that at least in the eyes of a significant amount of Santa Monicians, I can continue to do a good job after three terms.” Mayor Pro Tempore Gleam Davis, who has served on City Council since 2009, said at the meeting that term limits decrease the productivity of a governing body at both the local, state and federal level. Furthermore, Davis argued that term limits can be used to oust popularly elected politicians that are opposed
TAX
by a minority of voters, pointing to the example of Congressman John Lewis, the civil rights leader who has served as U.S. Representative for Georgia’s 5th congressional district since 1987 but would not be in office if there were term limits in Congress. “I don’t agree with the idea of term limits. I think they have actually been proven to be quite deleterious to getting business done in Sacramento and other jurisdictions that have them like the City of Los Angeles,” Davis said. “To say that it is not political may be sincere but isn’t true because this will inevitably be viewed through that lens. I think we have term limits and they are called elections.” Councilmember Tony Vazquez, who served on City Council from 1990-1994 before running again in 2012, opposed the notion of lifetime term limits but was open to the idea of limiting the number of consecutive terms an individual would be able to serve. “I think that to exclude somebody to three terms and then you cannot ever come back is unconstitutional in my point of view,” Vazquez said. “I hate to see somebody come in at a young age of let’s say 30 years old and serve three terms, and he is excluded, or she is excluded, for the rest of their life.”

Picnicking on the Promenade By Charles Trepany
Teenagers laughing over a game of Apples to Apples. Parents showing their children how to toss a bean bag. Store employees enjoying their lunch break under a bright blue umbrella. Such are the sights and sounds of the fourth annual Picnic on the Promenade, a weekly outdoor summer event organized by Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. and recurring until Aug. 31. Every Friday from noon to 4 p.m., passersby on the north block of the Third Street Promenade can find classic games – like cornhole, ping pong, giant Jenga, tic-tac-toe and Apples to Apples – to enjoy for free. Although the games are available only on Friday afternoons, the colorful tables, chairs and umbrellas stay out for visitors to enjoy Monday through Friday. Downtown Santa Monica’s senior marketing and communication manager Kevin Herrera said the goal is to allow visitors to make the space their own. “It gives locals as well as visitors another reason to visit downtown and to really enjoy the Promenade as the community’s living room,” he said. “You can shop, dine, enjoy the beautiful weather and just hang out and
watch our performers and people watch as folks come through the area.” On Friday nights from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., visitors can enjoy free performances from the Promenade’s most established street performers invited by Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. “We really pride ourselves on having a really diverse and talented group of street performers on Third Street Promenade, so we really strive our best to highlight that talent,” Herrera said. “It’s all organic talent. Every week we’ll have different acts.” On Wednesday nights from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Picnic on the Promenade becomes Ping Pong on the Promenade. Also free to visitors, this event includes PongFit representatives who organize ping pong matches, offer tips on technique and spread awareness about the game. Former Santa Monica resident Vetzy Ferreira said the games at Picnic on the Promenade appeal to all ages. “I’m taking care of the kids, and the parents are shopping,” she said. “They’re great for kids because you can entertain them while other people go shopping.” Belgium tourist Maxim Demoor said the games at Picnic on the Promenade were a nice way for him to relax during his visit. “We started with Ping Pong,” he said.
Playing cornhole is a great break away from shopping!
“It’s a very nice idea, and the weather is also nice. It’s cool.” Herrera said the best part about Picnic on the Promenade is how it brings families together. “For me personally, it’s just seeing all the

people enjoying the space, whether it’s little kids or adults,” Herrera said. “It seems that the atmosphere brings out the kid in all of us.” For more information head to: www.downtownsm.com

A Frolicking Good Time By Jennifer Eden
The Annenberg Beach House Annual Community Picnic took place Thursday July 19 and saw families from throughout the region jump in sack races, make crafts and celebrate all that the beach has to offer. The annual event is one of the most popular on the Beach House’s calendar and for many it stands pride of place on their summer to-do list. “I wish they had more events like this,” Elly Santos told The Mirror. “We all love time spent together as a family and to watch the sun go down on the sand is great.” Santos said that the range of activities always keeps her kids busy, and allows her a time to join in and also relax. From littlies to teens, the evening had something for everyone. Small tables were assembled with beach crafts, workshops and coloring. For the bigger kids there were life-sized building blocks, races, dancing, slack-lining, karaoke and the much-anticipated tug-o-war. Families brought their own food and picnics with the highlight of the evening for many – smores on the beach!

OPINION
Missed Tackles, Misplaced Accolades SMa.r.t. Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow
Our Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem recently authored an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times (7/12/18) deriding the lawsuit that is pending against our City’s at-large election system by residents of the Pico Neighborhood. The article discussed the major city issues that the council has “tackled” successfully over the past few years and argued that a City Council elected through neighborhood districts would be too fragmented
to work on issues that affect all residents. The trial of the Pico Neighborhood Association and Maria Loya versus the City of Santa Monica commences August 1 in a Los Angeles courtroom. SM.a.r.t. has already made its position clear on the hoped outcome of the upcoming trial. We believe that neighborhood district representation will give rise to neighborhood-oriented advocates on our city council; lower campaign costs for all candidates and allow residents to have a stronger voice in our town. It is interesting that Mayor Ted Winterer and Mayor Pro-Tem Gleam Davis stated that they have been able to tackle significant issues, including crime, homeless-
“WHEN THE CITY SAYS YES, AND THE NEIGHBORS SAY NO” By Ron Wynn
The cities of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Culver City are all very strict with building codes and enforcement. There are many issues and moving parts including city council intervention. Development and Anti-Mansionization, for example is one of the issues always coming up. There has been a lot of pull back on the size of homes which dwarf existing homes in the neighborhood, take away their air space, and cause a change of character to the neighborhood overall. Because of much neighbor and homeowner association lobbying, cities including West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and parts of Los Angeles have memorialized the voice of the neighborhood using majority vote to modify the basic city required guidelines, with additional guidelines referencing the roof pitch and structure envelope designed to reduce the “box like” architecture, with some associations lobbying to support greater, others to support fewer restrictions. It is rare that a developer would try to take advantage by not getting city approvals even though neighbors often say, “I think the developer is not in city code compliance”. The city scrutinizes with inspections, and developers are watched from grading to completion carefully. Many homeowner associations and city organizations will lobby to take precedence over the codes and will ask for subsequent approvals. Venice for example, has a very strong and aggressive neighborhood council who will go to extra lengths to be sure all houses meet neighborhood criteria and that historic preservation be respected. Venice city council as a sidebar encourages neighborhood safety, low income housing, walkability, bike lanes, right of ways, and preservation of natural plant growth. These groups can be extremely powerful insisting on meeting after meeting with justification and objectives to meet what they deem “for the good of the neighborhood”. That said, many developers decide just not to fight anymore. Specifically, neighbors will often fight for corrective measures relating to specific non-code related issues, i.e., eye sores and noise deterrents to the neighborhoods. Things that have come up recently are air conditioning condensers, fences, gates, and unattractive storage areas. Noisy air conditioning units make the argument even stronger. Though the city may not have specific
codes preventing these things, homeowner associations can vote to amend the existing CC and R’s at any time. Neighborhood covenants, conditions, and restrictions may limit the height of a structure if it interferes with an openair view of a homeowner’s property on other adjacent streets. This can be verified in the CC & R documents. CC & R’s can also demand certain styles of architecture and prohibit the use of certain lower standard construction materials and facades. Roofing materials can also be mandated as acceptable or not acceptable even though they meet applicable city codes and safety standards. An HOA can even insist on paint colors, fencing, patio covers, and exterior landscaping; they can even insist that cars, boats, campers and trailers not be parked on your driveway for over 5 days, for example. Architectural review boards can enforce setbacks as stated in CC &R’s in the event it is beyond city codes. Also, the city might per code allow shrubs and trees without a height limit, but a homeowner association might disallow the height of a tree if they believe it can cause a blind spot, which could impact the safety of a biker or pedestrian. An HOA can even disallow a paint color if it does not conform to the neighborhood theme, but again, this power must be clearly documented in the specific neighborhood’s CC & R’s. The use or non-use of grass or synthetic grass comes up often in CC and R’s and is a specific item of discussion in some cities as it pertains to water preservation. It is interesting how there is often contradiction with one city not allowing synthetic grass and in other cities making it mandatory if grass is called out in a landscape plan. Also, another item that is enforced in most of the local cities is the diversion of water for drainage. In Los Angeles for example, water is required to drain back on the property and away from the street. This is a water preservation enforced code. Often neighbors will object to the rain garden ditch because it is not often attractive, but the city will enforce it nevertheless. It is important to know which items are coded, which cities enforce these items, and which do not. Specifically, each city has their own guidelines for water conservation and for mansionization. The best website to go to is Zimus for Los Angeles, but for other cities you must go to the specific city for their respective guidelines which are posted online under building codes.
ness, affordable housing, mobility, economic growth, educational opportunity and community wellbeing. Since they used football terminology, we’ll use a little of our own. Crime is up 18.5 percent over 24 months. Assaults, Robberies, and violent crime are up even more. Our City Council is gathering splinters on the bench. Homelessness is down in L.A. County and L.A. City; up in Santa Monica. It appears to be a missed tackle. Affordable housing programs have given tidbits to our residents in need and provided developers with millions in profit. Another missed tackle. Mobility is a mess. Crowded Streets, virtual traffic standstills, scooters and bicycles running amuck and pedestrians at risk. They haven’t even tried to tackle this problem. Their pants have no grass stains, and their helmets are still in the locker room. The economic engine works to pay down pension liability and create more developer profits. Meanwhile, independent businesses are forced out by exorbitant rents. On top of which, our “powerful” economic engine generates infrastructure decay, high sales taxes, and even higher utility taxes. Where’s the benefit for our residents? Once again, nothing tackled. Our wellbeing is suffering, from noise pollution to crime to a shortage of park space, the City’s studies have shown that our residents don’t feel particularly well. Have we even tried to tackle these issues? The City Council must have decided not to suit up that day. We give Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) millions and provide sweetheart deals for Santa Monica College (SMC), yet our high school graduates still have to pay to attend SMC (only 4.4 percent go), and our district continuously teeters on insolvency. We haven’t tackled anything. Honestly, it appears that our neighborhoods have no representation. Instead, the constituency that seems to matter is the neighborhood group, “The Developers.” Other than that select, moneyed group our residents have no representation. Council Members appear to not know about occurrences in our city’s neighborhoods, and they don’t want to tackle the problems inherent to each of our future council districts. The council member’s arguments would have an air of plausibility if there weren’t 11,400 people per square mile, a daily 150,000 influx of workers and 8.7 million yearly visitors. There is nobody to block for the 94,000 of us who live here. The defensive line is porous. On July 20 Santa Monica’s hardworking Mayor Winterer penned a column for the community in which he highlighted city achievements over the past six months. He shone his spotlight on the near future of Santa Monica. In skimming the article, a couple of things stood out. One paragraph talked about city employee compensation and pensions. He discussed the citizen audit panel and the employee compensation study by an independent firm. Conveniently omitted from his comments was the fact that the City Council has only undertaken this review and passed new recommendations after a significant outcry by community members. Even then, the audit committee was disbanded rather than continued as an ongoing citizen oversight unit. Our compensation crisis is still
Being a City Councilmember should mean accountability to your neighbors, doing the little things in a city that make a difference for the people down the street. I don’t see that happening here.
looming. Neither Santa Monica’s senior city staff nor the city council has designed a playbook that will significantly stem the rise in public salaries. He praised the new (under construction) City Services Building for potentially saving our community $10 million a year in offsite leases. He neglected to mention that we will not see any savings until the 15th year of its operation as the building, with interest, costs approximately $142 Million. He lauded the upcoming construction of the multiuse sports field at the Civic. It was approved in the Civic Center Specific Plan a decade and a half ago. It has taken the efforts of hundreds of dedicated Santa Monicans to push the City Council into allocating the funds needed to add this green space to a desolate parking lot. Mayor Winterer admits that with summer upon us “it’s crazy out there” and that the City is playing catch-up with e-scooter rules. It seems to me that the city should have stopped the “end-around” of our regulations and taken a time-out to pro-actively regulate this new personal mobility option before it became a problem. Bird and Lime are on our 10-yard line and have already scored numerous times off our City Council. It seems our team hasn’t read the playbook. Being a City Councilmember should mean accountability to your neighbors, doing the little things in a city that make a difference for the people down the street. I don’t see that happening here. The big vanity projects get built that allow City Councilmembers and City Staff to puff out their chests, but are they for you? I don’t think you can convince most residents that $142 million city hall annexes, a $2.3 million park restroom and $9 million stupid bus stools are benefiting us, the residents of Santa Monica. Unfortunately, the tackling is non-existent and spending millions to fight district elections is just more of our money... down the drain.

This hemp looks and smells like marijuana but contains much less THC than marijuana. “Venice Circle sells CBD flower that looks and smells like marijuana but is in fact hemp because it contains 0.3 percent THC or less,” Mike said. “The flower product contains anywhere from 13-17 percent CBD which is very high for CBD flower if you compare it to what is available in the surrounding market.” The high levels of CBD and low levels of THC found in this smokable hemp make it a popular choice for individuals who want the pain and anxiety reducing properties of CBD without the “high” associated with smoking THC found in marijuana. “People can experience a light sense of elevated well being but do not experience the ‘high’ associated with smoking traditional marijuana,” Mike said. “CBD is a natural non-psychoactive alternative medicine. It’s best known for its pain relief and anti-seizure properties. It combats anxiety, fights cancer and has been known to reduce the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure and helps treat sleep issues.”

DENTAL CARE WITHOUT JUDGEMENT!
With 28 years of producing, directing, and writing under his artistic belt, resulting in over 225 awards for the works presented at the Fountain Theatre, co-founded with Deborah Culver in 1990, it comes as no surprise that Stephen Sachs has once again created a compelling, visually stunning play. I say visually stunning as “Arrival & Departure” is inspired by Sir Noël Coward’s “Brief Encounter” and is a multi-media production that incorporates both film and live action, with the cast comprised of hearing and deaf actors. Performed on a highly creative set designed by Matthew G. Hill, who maximizes the limited space by creating a Dunkin’ Donuts coffee shop nestled in a New York City subway station, which easily morphs into the living room, bedroom or kitchen of Emily (Deanne Bray) and her husband Doug (Brian Robert Burns). How, might you ask, could this be accomplished without moving set pieces around? Well, here’s where the influence of the iconic

film comes into play (no pun intended). Superbly envisioned by director Sachs, Nicholas E. Santiago’s video design masterfully creates the different settings – including train stations, speeding trains, and crowds of people frenetically rushing about the city streets, which Sachs emulates on stage with rapid, rushed movement patterns executed by the cast. I think you get the idea. You are watching a film representing the different settings which then segues into live action utilizing both oral and American Sign Language, (ASL) including open captioning to accommodate both deaf and hearing audiences. The story begins at the home of Emily and Doug and their daughter Jule, (adorable Aurelia Myers) who is in the throes of 13-year-old angst. Her mom is surprised at her unhappiness with Jule’s friend, (Claire Elizabeth Beale). “I thought you were best friends?” “I don’t even like her.” This young lady has become smitten with a boy she met on the online Crush Zone and is desperately trying to convince her parents that she should be allowed to meet him.

THEATRE REVIEW ... Continued
REVIEW,
from page 8 the poor kid has an experience that plunges her deeper into the decision that no one will ever love her. Emily, who is hard of hearing, has learned ASL. She wants to be a good wife and is trying to please her religious husband by agreeing to being baptized and devoting her life to Jesus Christ. Her “voice,” when she signs, is effectively spoken by Stasha Surdyke, who captures the nuances of Emily’s conflicted character. She is unhappy that her husband never learned ASL so that she can more comfortably communicate with him. Beneath the devoted wife/mother exterior, we sense a growing anxiety and Bray’s performance is truly riveting as she captures the conflicted multi-layers of her character. The initial encounter begins at the 59th Street subway station when a speck flies into Emily’s eye. She needs a napkin and goes into Dunkin’ Donuts, run by Mya, a tough food service worker who does not brook fools easily. Jessica Jade Andres gives a wonderful performance as this no-nonsense New Yorker who is being wooed by transit cop Russell, an endearing character playfully brought to life by Shon Fuller. It is here that Emily meets Sam, magically played by Troy Kotsur, Bray’s real-life Deaf husband. Sam’s signed dialogue is voiced through Adam Burch, who also captures the deep emotions of his
non-speaking counterpart. Sam, a filmmaker who teaches Deaf students the art of filmmaking, is gallant and removes the speck from this pretty young woman’s eye, thus inaugurating a slowly evolving warm, loving but sub rosa relationship. They begin to meet on Thursdays at Central Park, the setting crisply brought to life by the authentic video of the park being flashed in the background. He too, is married and has two sons but the attraction is too powerful for them to stop seeing each other. In one particularly endearing moment, Sam, with a delightfully active inner child, convinces Emily to remove her shoes and take a dip in the lake, which is so realistically presented that as an audience member you would love to join them. How does this liaison end? Will Emily’s family issues be resolved? Will the terribly insecure daughter develop any confidence? Will Emily’s husband learn ASL? What happens to Sam and his family? I’m not saying another word. Once again, Sachs has scored a hit with this superb production which will make you laugh, and might even bring a little tear to your eye as you get a peek into the lives of ordinary people and how a chance encounter impacts on their families. It might even remind you of a chance encounter of your own. The well-crafted script also illuminates the frustration of being stuck between the hearing and the hard-of-hearing worlds. In the end, this is an aching love story woven through the prism of the every day familial

TAKING TENNIS TO TOWN Move over volleyball, there’s a new beach sport on the sand. By Jennifer Eden
Krishna Demoura and beach tennis players on the sand.
BEACH TENNIS FACTS • Workout Benefits: Moving in the sand has huge fitness and weight loss benefits especially for the legs, abs and glutes, not to mention the additional benefits to the soul from working out on the beach.
The latest sport to hit Santa Monica’s beaches is a combination of tradition, agility and speed. Beach Tennis has been popular in Europe for more than 40 years, but only recently has it landed on US shores. “In the L.A. area we’ve been hearing a lot about this new sport that’s taking the beaches of the world by storm,” Play Beach Tennis’ Krishna Demoura told The Mirror. “It really has something for everyone – fun, skill, fitness and high-level competition,” Demoura said. Hailing from Brazil, the 5’5” athlete has

risen to the top of the US Beach Tennis rankings fast; her husband, Paulo Santos is a coach. He explained that many people transition to the sport from tennis or volleyball, although there are no skills needed to start, everything can be taught on the sand. Demoura said that the best thing about beach tennis, is the beach! She explained that the game involves developing great sand fitness, diving for the ball and travling to amateur tournaments in some of the most picturesque locations in the world. “There is negligible impact on the joints,” Demoura said. “The sand is very forgiving and makes for a great workout. Ex-tennis and volleyball players with knee problems, hip problems, shoulder, come try it out!” Beach tennis is currently played in Santa Monica and other SoCal beaches.

COACH TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Keep your racket/paddle up! Initially, focus on getting the ball over the net, don’t worry about strategy just yet. • Move forward to contact the ball as high and as close to the net as possible – beach tennis is a volley game.
Coach Paulo Santos teaches a class on the sand.
• Keep moving the whole time to facilitate use of your reflexes and change of direction

Fashion Icon Meets Architectural Brilliance FILM REVIEW: Skyscraper
BEHIND THE SCREEN By Kathryn Whitney Boole Take almost any disaster movie, change names and locations and you’ve got the script for “Skyscraper”. Disaster narratives reflect the “damsel in distress” tales of silent movies, where the helpless heroine is tied to the railroad tracks with the train bearing down and the big strong hero appears on scene to rescue her at the last minute. Neve Campbell skillfully portrays said damsel powerfully. Dwayne Johnson’s character, “Will Sawyer,” is surprisingly complex and Johnson plays him well. He is a former FBI agent, an amputee who has suffered great pain and learned to retrain his body to overcome obstacles. In the end, he of course, manages superhuman feats. His titanium prosthesis becomes his most valuable tool in the daring rescue he engineers. Director/writer Marshall Thurber, producer Beau Flynn and Johnson worked closely with real amputee Jeff Glasbren-
FILM REVIEW: McQueen
Rated PG-13 102 Minutes Released June 13 ner, who lost his leg at the age of 8 and is a three-time Paralympic champion who has scaled Mount Everest. Johnson studied Glasbrenner’s gait, his abilities, and most importantly his positive spirit, in order to realistically bring the character of Sawyer to life. The film skillfully blends Chinese and U.S. culture and characters to assure box office success in Asia, and at the same time offering a rich variety in the cast. Chin Han, who adds a strong performance as the Chinese billionaire owner/developer of the skyscraper, has been named one of Asia’s 25 greatest actors of all time. The star of this movie is however the skyscraper itself. The architectural creativity embodied in this imaginary building is incredible. The camera dwells on its features long enough for you to imagine yourself inside the intricate environments that have been constructed in this masterpiece, including a multistory wooded park with a gigantic waterfall. The chance to wander visually through this ill-fated edifice is alone worth the price of the movie ticket.
Rated R 111 Minutes Released June 20
BEHIND THE SCREEN By Kathryn Whitney Boole “McQueen” is a beautifully crafted in-depth documentary bio of Alexander McQueen, fashion icon of the late 20th Century. The film begins infused with joy and impassioned creation and ends spiraling into dark depression. It parallels the life of this artist. Director Ian Bonhote mixes historic clips of McQueen’s shows and atelier with richly designed graphics that help illuminate the state of mind of this master of fashion design. Models were McQueen’s canvas – his style of work was similar to a painter or sculptor. You will see that he built his work from scratch – a sketch, then layering of unique materials and fabrics directly onto the model’s body. By the time this immersive cinematic experience is over, you will feel you have lived the life of Lee Alexander McQueen – exactly what a documentary should do. The film is a tapestry of McQueen’s life and art, made precisely in McQueen’s style of layering fabric on the human form. You will see in this study of his life that his fashion was actually his philosophical expression of the meaning of life for him.

With Barbara Bishop
Some days I wake up feeling much thinner than the day before. My stomach is a little flatter, and I can fit nicely into my skinny clothes. But some days, I feel like I’m lugging around an extra 20 pounds. And it looks like it!! I reach for the loosest-fitting clothing I can find on those days. What really causes bloating? How do you get rid of it? I turned to my trusted source, WebMD, for answers. Here’s what they had to say:
Salt
Your body needs this, but most of us get more than we need. It makes you hold on to – or retain – water and can cause more serious health problems like high blood pressure. And it’s not just the saltshaker you should avoid: If you’re like many Americans, most of your salt
Too Many Carbs
Carbohydrates give your body fuel it can use quickly. But too many at once can make you retain water. And the faster the carbs get into your blood, the more likely that is. Simple carbs – white bread, candy, pastries, and soft drinks – enter your blood almost instantly. Complex carbs – whole grains, fruits, and vegetables – don’t because they take longer to digest.

You Eat Too Fast
The faster you eat, the more air you swallow. And like with bubbly drinks, once that air passes to your intestine, it can make you feel bloated. It can take 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain you’re full, so you can eat (or overeat) enough to make yourself bloated and uncomfortable before your brain gets the message. My major problem. I usually allow myself 15-20 minutes to eat, and by the time I eat, I end up eating ‘way too much. Damn.

Fat
Your body needs it to make cell walls, nerve tissue (like your brain), and hormones. But too much can make you bloated because your body takes longer to break it down than other types of food. That means it sticks around longer. It’s also high in calories and can make you gain weight if you’re not careful – and that can make you feel bloated, too
Weight Gain
If you’ve gained 10 or more pounds in the past year, you may feel bloated because that weight often goes on around your belly. That takes up space and leaves less room for your stomach to stretch.

OPINION
“Water Fix” Tunnels Arrogance TOM ELIAS Mirror Columnist
The way environmental activists in California’s Delta region tell it, there is no part of government in this state more arrogant than the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California. The huge MWD, supplier of water to the majority of the state’s populace, is certainly acting the part as it pushes for a project Gov. Jerry Brown is trying to make an irreversible fait accompli before he leaves office (presumably for the last time) at the end of this year. That’s the so-called “California WaterFix” or Twin Tunnels project to bring Northern California river water to San Joaquin Valley farms and urban Southern California via gigantic culverts running around and through the delta of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers east of San Francisco Bay. (Another desired Brown legacy is the troubled bullet train.) No one claims the tunnels project would produce much more water than now comes from the same rivers. But Brown and other supporters assert it would make supplies steadier and more reliable. His administration and other project backers only lately renamed this the WaterFix because that sounds more positive than tunnels. But environmentalists led by the group Restore the Delta see it not as a fix, but a problem which could deprive the Delta and its fish of much fresh water they now get.
After substantial lobbying by Brown, the MWD’s governing board without a public vote this summer committed millions of its customers to pay a large share of the project’s costs. About the only recourse customers might have would be voting out many of the myriad city council members and county supervisors who make up that board. This is highly unlikely, so added water charges for millions of customers are pretty much assured. It’s much the same in the San Jose-based Santa Clara Valley Water District, whose much smaller board voted narrowly also to help pay the multi-billion-dollar freight. Agricultural water districts in the San Joaquin Valley that stand to benefit most were reluctant to make similar commitments. The moves by the urban water districts were the embodiment of arrogance by public officials because they were taken with little public input and without say-so from those who will actually pay. No sooner were those votes over than the water districts and the state formed a partnership for designing and building the tunnels, a move plainly aiming to cement the project in place long before a spade is turned. Meanwhile, the only time anything like the WaterFix plan got a full public hearing came 36 years ago, after Brown and state legislators authorized building a so-called Peripheral Canal to bring water south around the Delta via a large ditch. A statewide referendum eliminated that plan by a resounding margin. It became political anathema for decades, but the idea plainly stuck in Brown’s mind. The WaterFix amounts to an updated, more expensive, version of the
ditch Brown backed long ago. Then there is the move by a Southern California Republican congressman to cement the project via federal law. This comes from Rep. Ken Calvert of Corona, one of California’s more secure GOP congressmen, not even close to being a Democratic target this year. Calvert in May quietly slipped language into a proposed budget bill to ban legal challenges of the tunnels, a move that could instantly end more than two dozen current lawsuits by local governments, water districts, recreational and environmental groups and tribal governments. To Brown’s credit, his administration after months of consideration, now opposes that bill, but it is very much alive in Congress. “A proposal like (this) raises the question: what are the supporters of the tunnels trying to hide?” wrote Democratic Rep. John Garamendi of Mokelumne Hill, the former lieutenant governor who represents part of the Delta area. Added Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of Restore the Delta, “bypassing due process and violating states’ rights … creates a constitutional nightmare. Tunnels proponents are attempting to rewrite the rules of the game so they can’t lose.” The water district votes and the Calvert move both represent almost unprecedented arrogance. That makes it high time for some major public and consumer protests over the manner in which Brown and his allies are rushing the tunnels into reality without permission of the people who will pay for them.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hi there – recently, you published Tom Elias’ syndicated column about the gas tax repeal. I’m writing to request you to provide the Yes on Prop 6 campaign an opportunity to respond with our viewpoint on the issue. I’m offering the following from Carl DeMaio as a response: Tom Elias’ recent column on the Prop 6 Gas Tax Repeal Initiative was wrong on so many levels, and the record must be set straight. First, the Yes on Prop 6 Gas Tax Repeal Campaign has been clear that our initiative will repeal the recently enacted gas and car tax hikes – saving the typical family of four more than $700 a year in unnecessary taxes. That’s not mere pennies per gallon – it is real money for Californians who are already struggling with a sky-high cost-of-living. Second, Elias fails to tell readers that the Yes on Prop 6 campaign has a better alternative solution to fixing the roads without a tax hike. In fact, prior to the latest gas tax hike, Californians already paid some of the highest gas taxes in the nation. Unfortunately, the politicians continue to divert the money from roads and what little money is left is wasted. Our alternative solution fixes that problem with a real Citizens Lock Box – not a phony one written by politicians. Elias should have done his homework – but he didn’t. We urge you to do your homework by getting the facts at GasTaxRepeal.org. Carl DeMaio Chairman, Yes on Prop 6

STAR GAZING
By Samuel Prince
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Aries should attempt to return home from work early. Your partner is waiting for you to give them the most-needed attention. Do not dash these hopes, and spend tonight with your relationship partner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today, Taurus can afford inertia and laziness in the process of fulfilling their official duties. On the final day of the working week, your boss either goes home early, or goes on a business trip. You and your entire work team will be left to themselves. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Geminis today should win a medal for moral stamina. At work there will be a major quarrel in which you will find yourself involuntarily involved, whether you want it or not. Worst of all, this conflict will not allow you to finish the project which you planned to. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Cancers today are recommended to be distracted at least occasionally from business and to check calls received on their cellphone. One of these calls is very important to you. You will be contacted by a person with whom your childhood passed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Leos today merge with the crowd, being at a noisy social event. You will admire the performance of your favorite artist, loudly applaud them and tirelessly sing along with familiar songs. You will spend all your strength at this joyous event. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The Virgos will remember today for a long time. Being at work, you will be convinced that a beginner really treats you in a special way, warmly and romantically. Toward the end of the working day, this person will hint that they want to meet with you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Libras are destined to make a very successful acquisition. You will buy an exact copy of something that has fabulously high cost, and which you do not stop dreaming about at night. Let it be just a fake; you will still be happy that finally your dream has come true. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Scorpios today will go to work, overcoming their distracted thoughts and anticipation. Your heart will pull toward where the person is with whom you just started a love relationship. Hardly waiting for the evening, you rush to them, and again time completely stops for you two. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sagittarius will methodically bring to completion their current project. Wishing as soon as possible to finish it, you turn off the phone so that nothing distracts you. When you are again available to this world, you are destined to experience a great surprise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Capricorns will spend this day productively. Being at work, you perform a huge number of tasks. In the evening, this person will hint that they would like to thank you for your help with the work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Aquarius today will be embarrassed by the request of a best friend. They will ask you to create a fake account on a social network, and then become friends with their other half. So, your friend decides to check whether their new love is faithful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pisces today will give up uncomfortable negotiations. It will be a minor departure from the problems with which you are not afraid to cope. However, you should understand that sooner or later this difficult conversation will take place.
