Poet and/the Bench Welcomes Topanga Canyon-based Artist Danielle Hutchens, Thru December 31
“Danielle’s artwork is modern and down to earth with its neutral palette, pops of colors, and shapes, lines, and textures inspired from the world around her,” says co-curator Powers.”Style and beauty are inherent in her compositions. The artist uses a combination of natural pigments, acrylics, oil pastels and charcoal; she sources natural pigments from stones collected on hikes that she determines to have color, grinding them to powder and using water and walnut oils on raw canvas to let their color make art. These foraged and hand made pigments are archival.”
Definitive Definitions: Planning Commission Says They Addressed a ‘Fairly Convoluted, Complex Set of Issues and Regulations Within the Housing Element
The definition of employee housing includes hosting five or more employees, being privately operated and having living quarters provided in connection with any work, regardless of whether rent is involved.

Letters to the Editor: Tons of Plastic Grocery Bags are Trashed in California – Passing These Bills Can Help
In 2021, Californians threw away 230,000 tons of plastic grocery bags, according to CalRecycle. Toxic chemicals leach from plastic bags into our waterways and our food, and Americans consume a credit card’s worth of plastic each week. These chemicals can have negative impacts on brain development and our reproductive health. Californians voted to ban single-use plastic bags in 2016, but a loophole allows grocery stores to provide thicker plastic bags at checkout and label them “reusable.” Now plastic bag waste is at an all-time high. Two bills in the Legislature, SB1053 and AB2236, would close the loophole and finally ban plastic grocery bags in California. The issue of plastic bags goes back 2013, when the City of Mill Valley began enforcing them.
