Marina del Rey | $3.495 MillionA 1923 beach house with four bedrooms and four full and one half bathrooms, on a 0.07-acre lot

Four miles south of Santa Monica and 25 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport, Marina del Rey is a small beach community centered around a man-made harbor, one of the largest in the country. Boats are almost exclusively small pleasure vessels, and kayaking, paddle-boarding and other water sports are popular. Housing is a mix of large condominium buildings and more traditional beach homes. This house, with dcor inspired by the beach cottages of the Hamptons and Nantucket, is on a pedestrian-only street about two minutes walk from the beach.

Size: 2,938 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,190

Indoors: The front door is set back from the street, behind a gate and a small courtyard.

The lower level is laid out in open-plan style. The front door opens directly into a large room with a sitting area anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and white built-in shelving, and a dining area with space for a long table. From the sitting area, a door leads outside to the pool area.

Beyond the living and dining area is a spacious kitchen with an island that offers additional counter space. The countertops in the kitchen are mahogany, and the appliances are stainless steel, including a Viking range. A small desk is built into the kitchen for use as a home office.

A jute-covered staircase leads up to the second-floor hallway, where built-in shelves offer storage space between the master suite and the guest bedrooms. At the end of the hallway is the master bedroom, which has its own fireplace and two walls lined with windows. French doors open to a private deck with ocean views. The master bathroom has dual sinks, a matching French-style tub and a glass-enclosed steam shower.

Three guest rooms off the main hallway are each large enough to hold a queen-size bed. One of the bedrooms has an en suite bathroom with a combination tub and shower; the other two share a bathroom with a shower stall.

Outdoor space: Behind the entry gate is a stone-and-gravel patio with a firepit and room for seating. At the back of the house, a narrow plunge-style swimming pool is surrounded by a paved patio. The one-car garage has an attached room for storing bicycles and surfboards, along with an outdoor shower, to rinse off sand after a trip to the beach.

Taxes: $43,692 (estimated)

Fashion Island, an upscale shopping mall, is a 10-minute drive, while John Wayne Airport, Orange Countys only commercial airport, is about 15 minutes by car.

This Spanish-style home was designed by Austen Pierpont, a member of an influential local family. Although he wasnt licensed as an architect, Mr. Pierpont designed many buildings in Ojai, including the post office and the Ojai Valley Inn and Country Club.

Upon visiting the city in the early 1920s, the original owner was so taken with his style that she asked him design this home, which she called El Pedregal, or the rocky ground. In the early 2000s, the current owner added a guesthouse designed in the style of the main house.

The home is about a 10-minute drive from the restaurants and hotels of downtown Ojai and about an hour south of Santa Barbara.

Size: 2,443 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,412

Indoors: Coming up the driveway, a visitor is greeted by the original stone garage, which has been converted into a wine-tasting room and artists studio. Beyond is a newer garage and a pool. The main house is set above the pool, with a stone path leading from the pool area to the front door.

Inside the house, an arched doorway to the left of the entry leads to a formal living room with a stone fireplace and exposed beams. Behind is a more casual den and a powder room.

Through the arch to the right of the entry is a formal dining room with original hardwood floors. The hardwood floors continue into the kitchen, which has been updated with soapstone countertops and farmhouse sinks imported from France. A small dining nook at the back of the kitchen has a door to a dining area outside.

A hallway leads from the foyer to the bedrooms. At the far end of the hall is a bright master bedroom with an en suite bathroom that has a double vanity and a Japanese-style soaking tub in addition to a walk-in shower.

One guest room off the hallway has exposed wood beams and is large enough for a king-size bed, while the other could be used as a home office. The two bedrooms share a large bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Outdoor space: To the right of the main house is the guesthouse, which has a living room, a kitchenette, an alcove sleeping area and a bathroom with a stall shower.

$3.5 Million Homes in California - The New York Times

A whole new vocabulary is forming around home design, with terms like biophilia, assisted cooking and livability being bandied out by more remodeling pros. That was clear from the 2020 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), which took place last month in Las Vegas.

More than 90,000 attendees caught the latest wares from more than 600 manufacturers. Here are five trends the pros say are here to stay.

Inexpensive materials that look anything but cheap

A recent rise in remodeling costs is driving interest to value-driven materials with high visual impact, including next-generation laminate countertops. The latest designs range from brushed metals to leathered veneers, cost as little as $2 per square foot and can be applied to countertops, cabinets, walk-in closets, fireplace surrounds and more.

Another example of the high-end look for less is porcelain floating floor systems that install twice as quickly as traditional tile, saving hundreds of dollars on labor for consumers. The new flooring continues the porcelain-tile craze, just at a more affordable price point.

Voice control for everything and the kitchen sink

Remember when digital assistants like Alexa only lived in little speakers? Voice-controlled assistants are now being integrated into virtually every object in the home, including smart faucets that let you ask for a precise volume of water at a specific temperature, for example eight ounces of water at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit for the baby's bottle.

In the bathroom, we're seeing showerheads with built-in smart speakers, enabling users to check the news while washing their hair, as well as smart toilets with voice-controlled operation of the toilet seat and built-in bidet.

Outdoor living inspired by the great indoors

A big trend for 2020 is using sophisticated design details to integrate outdoor living spaces with the home's interior. KBIS featured many fetching outdoor storage units with faux wood grain powder coat finishes, maybe to match the mahogany floors just inside the home.

And there was a lot of buzz around "biophilia," or the human affinity for nature. In the case of biophilic design, it's all about enhancing the home's connection to nature. KBIS highlights included a fully assembled pop-out window seat with panoramic views of the outdoors.

Artificial intelligence that's for real

AI is quickly moving from the concept phase to ready for prime time. Many of the best applications facilitate home maintenance. For example, we saw AI-powered appliances that alert customers to potential problems with their appliances before they occur.

AI is also making life easier in the kitchen. For example, manufacturers are putting smart cameras inside ovens and other interactive appliances, where the "assisted cooking" technology can recommend recipes based on available ingredients and then manage the cooking times and temperatures.

Aging-in-place gets a makeover

More older Americans plan stay put in their existed residence. But they don't want their home to look like a hospital, hence the demand for "livable" products with plenty of style. Our pros spotted some nice ADA-compliant farmhouse sinks, which play beautifully into the trend for farmhouse design while enabling tasks to be done from a seated position.

PORTLAND, OREGON - FEBRUARY 21: Carmelo Anthony #00 of the Portland Trail Blazers reacts in the ... [+] second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans during their game at Moda Center on February 21, 2020 in Portland, Oregon.

The former New York Knick, now demonstrating his artistry on the court for the Portland Trailblazers, has listed his New York condo and a quick look inside shows he has a love for art in his life off the court too. Anthony has listed a full-floor 4,500 square foot condo in the Chelsea Arts District for $12.85 million. The five-bed, four-bath condo combined the two units on the 5th floor, making it the largest unit in the building. It includes an outdoor terrace with views of the tree-filled High Line and, since it is the combination of two units, it comes with two private elevators, two storage units, two living rooms and a layout that separates the bedrooms from the more public living rooms.

Located in a 10-story building designed by Cary Tamarkin the building uses floor-to-ceiling casement windows as a way to let in plenty of light while still providing architectural details while blocking noise from outside. Here is one of the living rooms which shows the 10-foot high ceilings and white oak flooring throughout the unit. The unit remodel preserved large expanses of wall space which provide a place for hanging art, both in direct view of sunlight and hidden away from the rays to protect the artwork.

Normally the units would be north and south so thats where you have the uniqueness of the two living rooms, said listing agent Kevin Mallen with Compass. A full floor in a building like this is very unique for Chelsea. A lot of the newer construction [units] are right about 4,000 square feet and this adds the additional five hundred.

Living Room

A corner living room with operable windows has more of his art collection on display, with statues against the far wall and a table whose base adds a sculptural element to the room. According to the listing agent, many pieces of furniture were custom-made.

Corner Living Room

The kitchen has matching Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplash contrasted with rich walnut cabinetry. The oversize island doubles as a prep area and dining table.

Kitchen

The media room reserves one wall for screens while still having a wall of windows to let in light.

Media Room

To the right of the screen wall is a recessed climate controlled place for storing wine and other beverages. The industrial nature of the glass walls complements the aesthetics of the buildings design.

Wine wall

The main bedroom has custom wall treatments in the same metallic gray as the ceiling.

Bedroom

And heres the terrace with views of the High Line.

Terrace

The building has a doorman, fitness center, bike room, and private courtyard for residents. The unit is listed with Kevin Mallen and Michael Graves of The Michael Graves Team at Compass.

Carmelo Anthony Shows His Artistic Side With $12.85M Condo Now On The Market - Forbes

Kitchen islands have been getting bigger for years. The larger surface areas for islands in todays kitchens have prompted some to wonder if the requirements within the National Electric Code (NEC) need to be revisited. How big does the island need to be to require more than one receptacle outlet to be installed? The good news is the 2020 NEC answers this question.

When something seems out of whack in the NEC, it is your responsibility to help fix it. If you are a living, breathing individual who sees a problem with requirements in the NEC, an avenue exists for your voice to be heard. Notice I said living, breathing individual. You do not have to be an electrical professional to affect Code changes. Documented cases exist where moms and dads, painters, and even plumbers have submitted their concerns to the NEC, and their substantiations have resulted in change.

Does the intended seating area in this photo need to be counted in the square footage for receptacle outlet requirements for a kitchen island? At present, the answer is yes.

If you are an apprentice, electrician, engineer, or other electrical professional who isnt engaged in the Code-making process, then you are not fully engaged in the electrical industry. The NEC exists because of each person who has an idea or an issue and takes the time to send in his or her thoughts. This is exactly how changes in the kitchen island and receptacle outlet requirements in the 2020 NEC came about.

A public input was received by NEC Code-Making Panel 2 (CMP-2) on the number of receptacle outlets for kitchen island locations in a dwelling unit. This request was made on behalf of a well-known electrical labor association. Substantiation was offered that receptacle outlet availability for large islands in kitchens needed the attention of CMP-2. If you are not aware, CMP-2 has purview over NEC Art. 210 [Branch Circuits]. The submission noted that more receptacle outlets were necessary for the homeowner to properly use that large surface without the use of extension cords. What followed were many conversations at the committee level to determine exactly what constituted an acceptable number of receptacle outlets. After several options were discussed, a decision was brought forward to base the number of receptacle outlets on the square footage of the island countertop (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1. This illustration shows how to calculate the square footage of a kitchen island.

Per Sec. 210.52(C)(2)(a), provide at least one receptacle for the first 0.84 m2 (9 ft2) of countertop or work surface. A receptacle outlet is then required for every additional 1.7 m2 (18 ft2) of countertop or work surface. In addition, at least one receptacle outlet should be located within 600 mm (2 ft) of the outer end of the peninsular countertop or work surface.

The next step in the process is to come up with a way to explain how to calculate the appropriate number of receptacle outlets to meet the minimum requirements of the Code.

Being an electrician means knowing some basic math. From bending conduit in a large commercial building to determining receptacle outlet spacing in a dwelling unit, math is part of the trade. Before some of you start to get apprehensive about how to make these calculations, dont worry. Figure 2 does a good job of summarizing how to come up with this number for certain countertop square footages. In the event the table does not cover the size of the surface area you have encountered, you will need to do the math.

Fig. 2. Illustration showing a table for reference as to receptacle outlet requirements for kitchen islands.

An attempt was made by CMP-2 to address the concerns of public inputs and public comments about receptacle outlet requirements in todays large kitchen islands. Now its up to the installation and inspection communities to let CMP-2 know if they got this rule change right.

Speaking as a member of CMP-2, but not as an official representative of CMP-2, I know there were several items brought up during our discussions that we could not resolve. However, we did the best job that we could with the information we had to work with regarding this situation.

One item that was difficult to address related to what to do with a kitchen island countertop that also serves as a countertop surface for eating. Please reference the introductory photo of this article for an example of this type of kitchen island. Does this intended seating area need to be counted in the square footage for receptacle outlet requirements for a kitchen island? At present, the answer is yes. In the future, however, this could change based on feedback from the installer, inspector, homeowner, or anyone else with a viable comment. Future feedback will help shape potential change in the 2023 NEC.

Remember, dont wait on someone else to bring an idea to the Code-making process and then get upset when it doesnt happen. You can affect change by being part of the process. Through your individual actions, you will be doing your part to keep your friends and family electrically safe.

Inspector Intel articles are provided by the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), http://www.iaei.org, a membership-driven, non-profit association headquartered in Richardson, Texas, that promotes electrical safety throughout the industry by providing education, certification of inspectors, advocacy, partnerships, and expert leadership in electrical codes and standards.

On a summer evening in the Smoky Mountains, photographerRadim Schreiber, is standing in a forest. Wind is rustling the leaves.As dusk sets in, he looks through the trees and sees amazing flying specks of light a wild, fairy glow.

He's looking at fireflies, also known aslightning bugs. Butfireflies may be in trouble because of, ironically,light itself.

According to a2019 study, artificial light impacts fireflies in a big way. Fireflies find mates through a courtship process that involves flashing their "lights." And not just any light: the courting process involves a series of flashes,which areunique to each male and female. Femaleswill choose their matebased on their unique flashing patterns. The females, in turn, will start a flashing "dialogue"with the mate of their choosing. It's an amazingsight to see.

So how does this courtship process clash with the lights we keep on at night? Fireflies rely on light to communicate, which hasled scientists to wonderif light pollution impacts them in some way. Prior studies by the researchers confirmed this, as well as asubstantial bodyof research. So the next logical question, and the one that the researchers tackled, was how this lighting impacts fireflies at the most basic level: courtship.

To measure and investigate how attracted fireflies were to artificial light, Ariel Firebaugh and Kyle Haynes, two scientists based at the University of Virginia, set up 15 pairs of white tarps outside at the Blandy Experimental Farm. One tarp in each pair was illuminated by an LED light, while the other, located 10m (~32 ft) away, was left in the dark.

The researchers then watched the courtship "flashings" of stationary females and free-flying males inPhoturis(predator) andPhotinus(prey) fireflies. In the wild, females sit stationary on a plant while the males fly around and flash their lights. To replicate this while disturbing the process as little as possible, a nylon-mesh container is placed on top of females as they perch on grasses.

Finally, to look more closely at how lights affected mating success, Firebaugh and Haynes used mesocosms (an experimental tool where natural conditions are replicated in a controlled environment) consisting of mesh sided canopies.These mesocosm canopies looked much like apop-upcanopy tent, but with mesh screen sides. To find mating behavior, the fireflies are marked with a fluorescent powder. After the trial was over, they are collected and observed for signs of mating: male-colored powder on female reproductive organs.

In these lighted zones, the fireflies were less likely to engage in courtship flashes, and mating success was reduced. The researchers also investigated whether light pollution affected predator-prey relationships, but no significant impact was found.

Outdoor LED lighting spaces, like the one used in this study, canalso act as demographic traps, say the researchers. That means that immigration (or the amount of firefliescoming intothe area) far exceeds emigration (the amount of firefliesleavingthe area) meaning that fireflies, barring other circumstances, will stay in the lit areas. While the fireflies may be loving the bright LED lights, the lighting affects courtship behaviors, which are significantly reduced, and also likely reduces mating success.

Fireflies are attracted to light but this light "sucks" them in. It's like how a warm, cozy house is where you want to be on a cold winter day.It attracts you and you don't want to leave. In the same way, fireflies are attracted to our bright LEDs and don't want to leave the light.More fireflies enter the area, and then leave. They are attracted to it like a trap.But, like how it's not healthy for us to stay home all the time, it's not healthy for fireflies to stay attracted to this light. Fireflies rely onambientlight cuesto know when to start courtship flashing, but when the environment is always lit, there is a problem. Courtship behaviors go down and breeding success is also likely to go down.

ForSchreiber, a photographer specializing in fireflies, their significance transcends the food chain into that of cultural importance:"Often people have very joyful memories [about fireflies] from childhood, and when these experiences are being shared across people from different nations, they may feel that these experiences are more important than other differences we may have."

Schreiber is now on a mission to capture the beauty of fireflies before they disappear forever.He said, via email, that "There are unique and beautiful species of fireflies that live in very small areas, and when they lose their habitat, we may not see these fireflies ever again. I have been recording some of these species on camera with the idea of preserving them at least on video."

This is a huge problem light pollution is one of thefastest growing typesof environmental degradation,andmore than99 percentof people living in America and Europe don't experience a "natural" night sky.

As urban areas continue to grow, this problem will only get worse. In early February,researchers atTufts University released a studypegging light pollution as the second most serious threat to fireflies, according to a survey of 49 experts across the world. Only habitat loss is more dangerous.

Artificial lights are disrupting firefly mating, putting them on the road to extinction - Salon

This story was published in partnership with The Daily Beast.

At 27, Valerie Martinez had never known a life without fear.

Her earliest memories were of hiding from her father in the tiny space between her daybed and the wall when he came home drunk and volatile. He once kicked Martinezs sister so hard that she vomited, then threw her into the empty bathtub with a thud. He insulted their mother, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, with racist slurs and dared the children to contact the police when he beat her. Call them, he taunted. Theyll take her away.

As a teenager, Martinez started dating one of her brothers friends. She worked the late shift at a Sonic fast-food restaurant so shed have a safe place to be when her father typically returned home. Her boyfriend asked her to move in with him and get married, and she immediately said yes.

Looking back on it, Martinez says her fathers violence left her without any model of what a normal relationship should be. When her new husbands temper first flared, she barely even noticed. Then, one time, he got jealous when she was driving somewhere with a male friend. He rear-ended the car they were in, smashing the tail light, she recalled. Sometimes, he would come home after she was asleep, flip on the lights, pull the covers off her, and accuse her of being unfaithful.

Martinez applied to the police academy in Colorado and, upon graduating, was hired as a patrol officer. Even as she responded to calls about men who had beaten their wives, she continued to feel powerless to escape her own violent relationship. Her husband would show up at her station, Martinez said, and accuse her of cheating on him with her coworkers. One night when he hit her, she decided she had to call the police. My little girls were watching and it was getting worse, she remembers. The officers charged him with domestic violence and helped her fill out a protective order, which forced him to move out. She filed for divorce, but felt guilty and sad. Love is not like a water faucet, she said recently. You cant just shut it off.

Soon after, she met a man online, and he moved to Colorado to live with her and her two young daughters. Even that didnt stop Martinezs ex from tormenting her. One November day, she said, he came to the house to take her girls out for ice cream and ended up hitting her in the face in front of her new boyfriend. She decided they had to get away. In a rush, they packed both their cars and headed to her boyfriends hometown: Thibodaux, Louisiana. She drove 1,000 miles with her girls, their black lab, and most of their belongings crammed into the back of her red Ford Bronco.

It was the beginning of a new life for Martinez, but also a new chapter for domestic abusers in Louisiana, a state that often ranks among the top three for rates of women murdered by men. It took almost 20 years, but due in large part to her work, Martinezs parish now has one of the most comprehensive, innovative systems in the country for getting guns out of the hands of abusers a system that has served as the model for similar reforms across this conservative state.

Lafourche Parish, where Thibodaux is the seat of government, is a community of about 100,000 in the heart of Louisianas Cajun Bayou. As visitors approach from New Orleans on state Highway 308, they pass swamps and fields of sugarcane, as well as a series of white wooden lawn signs, each bearing one of the Ten Commandments. On a hot day last August, a dead alligator lay belly-up on the road side. Every few miles, a huge roadside billboard reminded newcomers that Sheriff Craig Webre was running for re-election.

Webre had been elected in 1992 at the age of 30. He had gone to law school while he worked in the department, passed the bar right after he was sworn in as sheriff, and quickly established a reputation as a smart and principled champion of the community. His office hired Martinez about a month after she arrived, in 2001.

Martinez started out as a patrol officer. She remembers that whenever she was sent on a domestic violence call, it felt almost like she was looking through a window at an earlier version of herself. Martinez found that she could quickly create a rapport with victims of domestic abuse. She would tell them things she wished someone had told her: This is only going to get worse, and, importantly, It does not have to define you.

One day, as she walked to a convenience store up the street from the sheriffs office for coffee, Martinez passed a woman sitting in a car, holding a baby that looked to be a few weeks old. When Martinez asked if she was OK, the woman said in Spanish that she was a Mexican immigrant who had married a man who was now holding her prisoner. Over the next several weeks, Martinez said, she worked to find shelter for the woman and her son, and to build a case against her husband. She was eventually able to arrest him on domestic violence charges, for which he was convicted.

But while Martinez was learning to build cases against some abusers, there was one type of case she found consistently vexing: abusers with guns. There are few places where hunting and the Second Amendment are more woven into local culture than Thibodaux, Louisiana. The slogan on the state license plate is Sportsmans Paradise, and with more than 34,000 acres of publicly managed hunting land, the citizens of Lafourche Parish take those words seriously. More often than not, when police respond to a call, someone is going to have a gun. And when domestic violence is concerned, guns are a deadly ingredient. If an abuser has access to a firearm, their female victim is five times more likely to die.

When Martinez started work in Thibodaux in the early 2000s, local cops didnt have many ways to get guns away from abusers. Anyone with a felony conviction was prohibited from having a gun under both state and federal law. But abusers with misdemeanor domestic violence convictions, or with active protective orders against them, were prohibited from having firearms only under federal law.

It was usually local cops, not federal officers, who came across a domestic abuser with a gun, either through a traffic stop or on a patrol call. But the local cops lacked the authority to enforce federal laws. And the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives almost never had the resources to swoop into a small town like Thibodaux to pursue a case of illegal gun possession.

Martinez was frustrated whenever she found a domestic abuser with a gun they were not supposed to have. So in 2009, when a report came out showing that Louisiana had more domestic violence homicides per capita than all but two other states, she made her move.

Sheriff Webre was a cowboy boot-wearing Republican with a stuffed alligator head on his desk, and he might have seemed like an unlikely person to get behind strict policies on domestic abusers and guns. But when he was an 18-year-old rookie, Webre answered a domestic violence call hed never forgotten. He and his partner, a veteran officer, were sent to the home of a couple in their 60s. The wife answered the door, her face bruised and her nightgown torn to reveal the skin underneath. Webre was struck by the womans obvious humiliation, and expected to put her husband in handcuffs. Instead, his partner told the couple to cool off and work it out. Webre vowed that if he ever got a chance to help domestic violence victims, he would.

I was haunted by that lady and that image, he recalled.

When Martinez and her supervisor told Webre that they wanted to find a way to take guns from all domestic abusers, he backed them up immediately. They requested a meeting with the nearest ATF field office, and asked the federal agents how they could help them enforce the federal laws prohibiting people with domestic violence offenses from having guns. The ATF agents said that if Lafourche sheriffs deputies could get every domestic abuser who was prohibited from having guns to sign a form saying they understood the law, it would make it easier to prove they were knowingly violating it. Also, if the local cops could collect important documents, like the report of when someone was found with an illegal firearm, it would make it easier for the ATF to act. Theyd give the package to federal prosecutors, who could issue an indictment.

The Sheriffs Office put together a list of every resident who had a domestic violence protective order active or a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction, and sent them letters telling them they were not permitted to have guns. Each person was asked to sign a form either describing their guns or swearing that they didnt have any. If they had them, the Sheriffs Office would help destroy them, sell them, store them, or transfer them to a friend or relative. The message was clear: Were offering you the chance to get rid of your guns and comply with the law. If you pass it up and we catch you with them later, well turn you over to the feds.

When Lafourche launched this effort a decade ago, initiatives enabling police to collect guns from domestic abusers and other people barred from having them were basically unheard of in the United States. California, now considered a model on this front, passed a law requiring people with prohibiting offenses to show proof they had turned in their guns in 2016; the state now has a squad that goes door to door to collect guns, too. King County, Washington, launched its pilot program in 2017. But even today, there are relinquishment laws in only 15 states, leaving tens of thousands of potentially dangerous people with guns because police havent developed a way to collect them.

During the first three years of the Lafourche initiative, from 2010 to 2012, deputies notified 170 residents that they were prohibited from having guns. The office collected 18 firearms, and that doesnt include cases in which people made their own arrangements to have someone else hold their guns. They sent at least nine cases to the ATF, and Martinez and her colleagues also created a system to flag the name of any domestic abuser prohibited from having a gun.

In 2013, a triple homicide committed partly in Lafourche Parish helped the rest of the state wake up to the urgency of getting guns away from domestic abusers. Ben Freeman, a nurse with several protective orders on his record, suffocated and drowned his wife in neighboring Terrabonne Parish before shooting five more people in Lafourche.

Charmaine Caccioppi was a close friend of one of the women Freeman killed and a leader in the South Louisiana United Way. If any other thing had been killing people at this rate, it would have been all boots on the ground, she said recently.

Las Vegas's death investigators witnessed the atrocities of the Route 91 shooting, then had to grapple with the difficult task of healing themselves.

In early 2014, Caccioppi and fellow activist Kim Sport visited Lafourche to learn about their work policing domestic violence cases. Martinez who by then had been promoted to run the sheriffs social service office explained that a state law prohibiting people with protective orders and misdemeanor domestic violence convictions from having guns would give them significantly more power. The bill making it illegal for domestic abusers to have guns passed the Louisiana Legislature in 2014, but it did not require police to confiscate them. Still, seeing that swampy little Lafourche had implemented a gun relinquishment policy without problems made it hard for sheriffs in bigger, better-resourced jurisdictions to say it couldnt be done. Sheriff Webres stature among law enforcement also helped: His peers knew he respected the Second Amendment and didnt want to take guns away from people who were legally permitted to have them.

Martinez made numerous trips to the State Capitol in Baton Rouge, explaining how her team had been able to notify more than 500 residents that they were prohibited from having guns and, in most cases, help them find lawful ways to get rid of them. The activists had to redraft the bills many times partly to get the National Rifle Association to remain neutral. But in 2018, the Louisiana state Legislature unanimously passed 27 laws designed to protect victims of domestic abuse.

Even so, Martinez kept hearing that law enforcement officers in other parishes were overwhelmed by the notion of collecting guns. Thats when Martinez and her friend Sunny Funk, head of the Family Violence Unit in Jefferson Parish, decided to take their show on the road, traveling all over the state to speak to groups of law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges about creating a process to help domestic abusers get rid of their guns. They had a menu of procedures to fit different communities, from small and rural to larger and more urban.

Funk remembers one of the first parishes they visited. The local officers slumped in their seats with their arms crossed, and visibly rolled their eyes. They said that collecting guns from prohibited people was unrealistic. But gradually, as Martinez told her own story of abuse, their audiences became receptive.

Back home in Lafourche, Martinez had created a more comprehensive support system for abuse survivors than nearly anywhere else in the country. The Sheriffs Office requires each of its 244 officers to get 16 hours of domestic violence training before they are hired, plus a refresher every year more than twice the state requirement. In a coral-colored building across the parking lot from the sheriffs office, there is a safe visitation and custody exchange center for domestic violence survivors. Officers and other staff help residents fill out protective orders, pick them up for court, and go to their homes to change the locks. They will also help victims find car seats, diapers, outdoor lighting, and other essentials when theyre in crisis. Melissa Williams, who works at Haven, a local domestic violence shelter and support center, says when victims know that a caring person will answer the phone, they are much more likely to call for help when they need it.

Earlier this month, I was talking to Martinez on the phone when she had to put it down so she could field a 911 call. Her voice was steady and warm. OK, lets get you safe. Is he coming back? Do you need medical attention? Nothings going to happen that you dont want. The baby is one? OK, why dont you go ahead and pack a bag. You dont have to explain. You love him, but you want him to be a better person.

Martinez and Webre have also worked to enforce a 2018 law making it a state crime for a person prohibited from having a gun to try to buy one. They wrote to the licensed gun dealers in the parish more than 40 and explained that they are now required to call local police if anyone fails a background check. She also made little cards for them to post by the register, so that anyone working checkout can easily see the procedure to follow. So far, her office has arrested three people accused of lie and try, or trying to buy a gun when they are prohibited, and she has warrants for two more sitting on her desk.

Martinez broke up with the boyfriend who brought her to Lafourche. She has since remarried, and now uses the last name Martinez-Jordan. The little girls who rode into town in her back seat are now both deputies in Lafourche. Martinez-Jordan says its hard to know how many lives her reforms have saved. No one can know which of the more than 400 guns her office has collected might have shot or killed an innocent person. But she still sees the woman she found with her baby when she was a rookie. That baby, at age 13, contacted Martinez-Jordan to tell her he was writing about her for a school project about heroes.

Louisianas domestic violence murder rate is still one of the highest in the nation, but experts believe that will change as police implement the new laws. Just last month, Martinez-Jordan and her deputies arrested a man accused of trying to rape his wife. The man told a judge he had two guns, but when they went to his house to collect them, they found 22. They took them all away, along with a truckload of ammunition. Im pretty sure she feels safer now, Martinez-Jordan said.

The cases she works are often grim, but her own life has taught her that they are never hopeless. Life is going to dig a hole and put you in it, she said. You have to decide whether you are going to build yourself a wall that holds you in, or a staircase to get out.
