SEATTLE (AP) — Ashes to ashes, guts to dirt.Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation Tuesday making Washington the first state to approve composting as an alternative to burying or cremating human remains.It allows licensed facilities to offer "natural organic reduction," which turns a body, mixed with substances such as wood chips and straw, into about two wheelbarrows' worth of soil in a span of several weeks.Loved ones are allowed to keep the soil to spread, just as they might spread the ashes of someone who has been cremated — or even use it to plant vegetables or a tree."It gives meaning and use to what happens to our bodies after death," said Nora Menkin, executive director of the Seattle-based People's Memorial Association, which helps people plan for funerals.Supporters say the method is an environmentally friendly alternative to cremation, which releases carbon dioxide and particulates into the air, and conventional burial, in which people are drained of their blood, pumped full of formaldehyde and other chemicals that can pollute groundwater, and placed in a nearly indestructible coffin, taking up land."That's a serious weight on the earth and the environment as your final farewell," said Sen. Jamie Pedersen, the Seattle Democrat who sponsored the measure.He said the legislation was inspired by his neighbor: Katrina Spade, who was an architecture graduate student at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, when she began researching the funeral industry. She came up with the idea for human composting, modeling it on a practice farmers have long used to dispose of livestock.She tweaked the process and found that wood chips, alfalfa and straw created a mixture of nitrogen and carbon that accelerates natural decomposition when a body is placed in a temperature- and moisture-controlled vessel and rotated.A pilot project at Washington State University tested the idea last year on six bodies, all donors who Spade said wanted to be part of the study.In 2017, Spade founded Recompose, a company working to bring the concept to the public. It's working on raising nearly million to establish a facility in Seattle and begin to expand elsewhere, she said.State law previously dictated that remains be disposed of by burial or cremation. The law, which takes effect in May 2020, added composting as well as alkaline hydrolysis, a process already legal in 19 other states. The latter uses heat, pressure, water and chemicals like lye to reduce remains.Cemeteries across the country are allowed to offer natural or "green" burials, by which people are buried in biodegradable shrouds or caskets without being embalmed. Composting could be a good option in cities where cemetery land is scarce, Pedersen said. Spade described it as "the urban equivalent to natural burial."The state senator said he has received angry emails from people who object to the idea, calling it undignified or disgusting."The image they have is that you're going to toss Uncle Henry out in the backyard and cover him with food scraps," Pedersen said.To the contrary, he said, the process will be respectful.Recompose's website envisions an atrium-like space where bodies are composted in compartments stacked in a honeycomb design. Families will be able to visit, providing an emotional connection typically missing at crematoriums, the company says."It's an interesting concept," said Edward Bixby, president of the Placerville, California-based Green Burial Council. "I'm curious to see how well it's received." 3526

SAN MARCOS, Calif. (KGTV) — CAL FIRE San Diego firefighters quickly knocked down a brush fire in San Marcos on Thursday, amid Santa Ana winds and dangerous fire weather conditions throughout the county.The 3-acre fire, dubbed the Sycamore Fire, ignited near Sycamore Dr. and Cox Rd. just before 12:30 p.m., according to CAL FIRE. Fire crews reported the fire began in heavy fuel and had a moderate rate of spread, but were able to halt its spread within about 30 minutes.Firefighters will remain on the scene for several hours to mop-up and further contain the fire.Thursday, dry Santa Ana winds created high fire danger throughout the county. A Red Flag Warning was in effect Thursday through 10 p.m. on Saturday for the county's valleys, foothills, and mountains. The combination of near-record low fuel moisture, strong winds, and low humidity dropping between 6 and 12% will create critical fire conditions.A High Wind Warning will be in effect for the same areas until 6 p.m. on Thursday. Northeasterly wind gusts of 30 to 60 mph are expected with isolated higher gusts in the wind-prone areas. Winds will be strong enough to bring down trees and power-lines.At least 70,000 San Diego Gas & Electric customers were without power Thursday morning due to public safety power shutoffs amid the high winds. 1319

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The University of California’s governing board is unanimously backing a measure that would restore affirmative action programs at its schools. The proposed ballot measure would repeal the controversial voter-approved statewide ban that's been blamed for a decline in diversity in the prestigious university system. The vote Monday by the university system's Board of Regents means the UC endorses a proposal that would ask voters in November to repeal 1996's Proposition 209 that banned “preferential treatment” for minority groups applying to state colleges and government jobs. The state Assembly approved the measure last week and it still must pass the state Senate to go on the Nov. 3 ballot. 726

SAN YSIDRO, Calif. (KGTV) - Business leaders on the U.S. side of the border are worried that President Trump's threat of tariffs against Mexico over illegal immigration could cause a sharp decline in sales.In the week after the president announced his plan to impose a 5 percent tariff on Mexican goods, the peso dropped nearly 4 percent in value. That means it's worth less compared to the U.S. dollar.Local shop owner Sunil Gakhreja, who is also a member of the San Ysidro Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, said 99 percent of his customers come from Mexico. He also said if the peso gets much lower, people will stop crossing the border to shop.RELATED: Trump imposes tariffs on Mexico over border squabble"Right now, it's around 18 or 19 (pesos per dollar). That's fine," Gakhreja said. "But when it gets to 20, people won't come. Trust me, it's a ghost town; Nno one comes in."Trump's plan would impose a 5 percent tax starting June 10. The tariff would increase by another 5 percent every month through October, topping out at 25 percent. Trump said it will stay in place until Mexico can stop the flow of people crossing into the U.S. illegally.Gakhreja said he and other business owners are still feeling the effects of a five-hour border closure in November. That cost an estimated .3 million to local shops.Currency exchange businesses say they're keeping an eye on the changes from minute to minute.RELATED: Trump says Mexico tariffs likely to go into effect"It's horrifying," said Bertha Fridman with JSD Money Exchange. "It's the money that goes in your pocket, and that's less."Fridman said her business deals mostly with people exchanging dollars for pesos, and she won't be affected. But she hears from people south of the border, and they're worried."It's the psychology of the people," she said.RELATED: Tariffs on Mexico imports could have outsized impact on San Diego"Once their buying power drops, they will not buy from us," said Gakhreja. "Even if it changes by 2 or 3 pesos, that's real money. They'll walk." 2047
