Council to debate food sales at Tongva Park
MADELEINE PAUKERSMDP Staff Writer
One of the city’s oldest bars could start serving customers in one of the city’s newest parks if Council approves a proposal to allow Chez Jay to open a new vending operation in Tongva Park.
Chez Jay could open a take-out counter on a patio that connects to the Tongva Park, offering visitors healthy food, drinks and snacks. The iconic bar and restaurant would be the exclusive concessionaire for the public park through an agreement with the city of Santa Monica that City Council could approve Tuesday.
Under the agreement with the
city, the take-out counter serving the park would offer healthy, sustainable and locally sourced meals, beverages with no added sugar and a children’s menu with healthy food and drinks.
The concession stand would include a kitchen, walk-up order window and a bathroom.
Last August, Chez Jay opened a 600-square-foot patio called the Backyard complete with a fire pit, Adirondack chairs and an updated menu that departs from the restaurant’s retro fare, featuring grilled street corn, ceviche bites and crispy chicken sandwiches alongside an array of cocktails.
The Backyard marked Chez
SMMUSD educator recovering from serious car accident
BRENNON DIXSONSMDP Staff Writer
Fleeing war and persecution, ThuHong Do immigrated to the United States as a refugee from Vietnam, who would later amass more than 30 years of experience as a para-educator at Santa Monica High School.
During her three decades at Samohi, Do gained a reputation as a generous and fun woman who touched the hearts of students, teachers and many community members alike.
Her job was to support special-education students, which is something her peers say she did every day with vibrant energy and a trademark smile, but after retiring last June, Do also began to
Beach fire station up for extensionMADELEINE PAUKERSMDP Staff Writer
The Santa Monica Fire Department plans to extend a temporary station that has cut response times to emergency situations at the beach and Santa Monica Pier.
In June, SMFD created a pilot station on the beach after data showed that it took firefighters and paramedics based in the department’s existing five stations much longer to reach the beach than other locations in Santa Monica
because of traffic congestion near the beach and I-10.
Since Station #7’s launch, average response times to the beach decreased by one and a half minutes and service to the Pier was reduced by more than two minutes, which the department said was critical in saving three lives and dealing with 600 emergency situations over the last six months.
Initially scheduled for a four-month period during peak beach season, it has been extended based on initial positive results, city staff said.
“Crews have been assisting visitors, helping with reports of missing children, engaging with people experiencing homelessness and building stronger relationships with the neighbors and business communities on the pier and along the beach,” SMFD Capt. Patrick Nulty said in an August statement. “With an ongoing presence and increased visibility, fire personnel can make a communitywide difference, including around fire prevention and preparing for

Replacing meat with edible bugs?
DEAR EARTHTALK: IS SWITCHING OUT MEAT FOR EDIBLE BUGS TO SATISFY OUR PROTEIN NEEDS A VIABLE WAY TO RATCHET DOWN OUR CARBON EMISSIONS AND OVERALL ENVIRON-MENTAL IMPACT? -- J. CRUZ., GARY, IN
It’s true that humans’ affinity for meat—especially beef, lamb, pork and to a lesser extent chick-en—takes a huge toll on the environment given the resources and emissions expended to rear and then transport it to market. In fact, the UN’s Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports that raising livestock accounts for some 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions globally. Mean-while, on the consumption side, cutting meat out of our diets is perhaps the most efficient way we can slash our personal carbon footprints. But eating only vegetables can make it hard to get enough protein, and that’s where bugs—with half or more of their body weight consisting of proteins—could play an important role in providing us with enough sustenance to feed ourselves, especially as our population surges to nine billion by 2050.
Proponents of eating bugs argue that emissions from so-called “insect farming”—that is, growing bugs for the express purpose of feeding humans and/or animals with them—is a much more energy- and emissions-efficient way to produce protein than traditional forms of livestock agriculture. “If we bartered beef, pork or chicken for a handful of insects, the environmental impact of our animal-protein intake would drop dramatically,” says Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki. “In-sects are especially effective at converting their food because they’re cold-blooded and therefore waste less energy to keep warm.”
If you’re curious about edible insects, why not try some? Lewiston, Maine-based EdibleInsects.com ships edible insects coast to coast. UK-based PureGym is a big proponent of deriving dietary protein from
insects, and offers several seemingly tasty recipes on its website and YouTube channel. Creamy Mealworm and Coconut Noodles, anyone?
Of course, just because crickets, ants, cockroaches and worms are becoming more common as food delicacies doesn’t mean that eating them is new for humans. The FAO points out in its “Edible Insects” report that while bugs have always been part of human diets, recent innovations in so-called “mass-rearing systems” mean we can produce a lot more insect-based protein than we used to: “Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science in both developed and developing countries.”
Suzuki couldn’t agree more: “Emerging entotechnologies (from the Greek root entomo, for ‘insect’) bring together applications that focus on what insects do best.” For instance, food waste or agricultural residue is fed to fly larvae, which in turn is used as a meat-free but protein-rich live-stock feed. “[L]arvae have voracious appetites for fruit and vegetable residues and could help improve the way we handle...organic waste,” reports Suzuki. “It’s a way to give a second life to stale food, rather than sending it to compost bins or biogas plants.”
“Considering that nearly 45 percent of fruit and vegetables produced worldwide is wasted, this is not a fringe idea,” says Suzuki. “After feeding the hungry with the highest quality unsold portions of our food, we could feed our breeding animals with insects raised on organic residues from grocery stores and restaurant kitchens.”

City of Malibu Offers Disaster Preparedness Class for Older Adults and People with Disabilities
As part of ongoing efforts to enhance community-wide disaster preparedness, the City is offering a new round of the popular free class “Disaster Preparedness for Older Adults and People with Disabilities” on Tuesday, March 3, 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. at City Hall. The class is a part of the City’s ongoing efforts to enhance community-wide disaster preparedness.
“Malibu has a whole-community approach to emergency preparedness,” said Mayor Karen Farrer. “Seniors and people who aren’t independently mobile are an important part of our com-munity and are particularly vulnerable during a disaster. We have to ensure that they and their families are prepared, and that our emergency planning takes them into account so that they are not left out or left behind.”
During the class, older adults and people with disabilities and mobility issues will learn how to prepare for wildfires, earthquakes or other disasters. Will you be able to safely and quickly evacuate during a disaster if you rely on a wheelchair, oxygen or other medical devices, or do not drive?
Participants aged 55 or older who complete the class will receive a free emergency prepared-ness kit. ID is required.
To register, visit www.malibusafety.eventbrite.com. For more information, call Public Safety Specialist Sarah Kaplan at 310-456-2489, ext. 368 or email [email protected].

CitywideMetro to Offer Free Rides on Election Day, March 3
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (Metro) will be providing free rides on Election Day, March 3, on all Metro buses and trains. In addition, two of Metro’s facilities located in downtown Los Angeles and El Monte will be used as official vote centers from Feb. 22 to March 3 for voters who want to cast their vote early.
Working with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s Office, both Metro’s first floor plaza level area of its headquarters building (One Gateway Plaza in downtown Los Angeles, next to Union Station) and the El Monte Bus Station (3357 Santa Anita Avenue in El Monte) will be used as vote centers from Feb. 22 through Election Day. The County Registrar-Recorder’s Office also has placed a Vote by Mail Box in the East Portal area of Union Station where voters can drop off their mail-in ballots.
In addition, Metro’s Bike Share program will be providing free fares on election day. The public can ride Metro Bike Share to the polls without using any type of a special code. Just visit any bike station kiosk to get a free single ride. The single ride is valued at $1.75 for 30 minutes of ride time. The first 30 minutes are free, and the cost is $1.75 per 30 minutes thereafter.
Access Services, funded by Metro to provide paratransit service in Los Angeles County, has also approved a policy to allow Access riders and their companions to travel free on trips to and from the polls on Election Day March 3.
“We want to make it easy for people to get to the polls and cast their vote this election year,” said Metro Board Chair and City of Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts. “Metro wants to make sure all of the region’s voters get the message and vote!”
The Metro Board of Directors in 2018 approved providing free rides for statewide and federal elections on a Board motion made by Los Angeles Mayor and Metro Board first Vice Chair Eric Garcetti and co-authored by Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas and Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia.
“A lack of transportation should never stand between a voter and the polls,” said Mayor Garcetti. “Every vote counts in this democracy, and we have to do everything we can to help Americans exercise our most fundamental right.”
Recent studies have shown that a lack of transportation is one factor for people who do not vote. The lack of access to transportation disproportionately impacts minority voters, people with low incomes, persons with disabilities and younger voters.
“It’s an honor to provide free transportation for one of the most important activities in our democracy,” said Metro CEO Phillip A. Washington. “I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to make their voices heard.’

Malibu Sign Up for Malibu’s Next Free CERT Training Course
As part of the City of Malibu’s ongoing efforts to enhance community-wide preparedness for wildfires, earthquakes and other disasters, the City will offer the next free Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training course starting on Thursday, March 5.
The class will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on seven consecutive Thursdays at City Hall. Those who complete the course will receive a free backpack with emergency gear.
“I want every CERT class that the City of Malibu offers to be at maximum capacity,” said Mayor Karen Farrer. “Taking the CERT course is one of the best ways to get yourself and your family prepared for disasters, and the more people who get CERT trained, the better our com-munity-wide preparedness, recovery and resiliency will be.”
CERT is a highly-acclaimed program of free courses administered by the City of Malibu that empowers citizens to help during disasters. Through hands-on training, participants learn the most up-to-date information in basic disaster preparedness, the use of a fire extinguisher, disaster medical care, first aid, search and rescue techniques, disaster psychology and neigh-borhood team building.
During a major disaster, emergency responders may not be able to reach all people and neighbors right away, especially if infrastructure, bridges and roads are damaged, communica-tions systems are disabled, or there are very large numbers of casualties. After the major earth-quakes in Italy in 1980 and in Kobe, Japan in 1995, up to 90% of people trapped in the rubble of collapsed buildings were rescued by locals before emergency aid arrived.
CERT volunteers are a crucial part of the City’s ability to prepare and respond to disasters. Participants must complete all seven modules to receive a certificate of completion. Any partic-ipant who misses a class may make it up during a future course series.
In 2017, the City Council adopted the CERT Program Guidelines, an important step in for-mally incorporating the program and the trained, dedicated CERT volunteers into the City’s Emergency Management System. The guidelines outline the requirements to become an active member of the official Malibu CERT Team, as well as the organizational structure, team respon-sibilities, ongoing participation requirements, and activation procedures. Malibu CERT Team members are registered Disaster Service Workers. In addition to completing the CERT training course, they have to complete Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) trainings, serve at least 30 hours per year and attend regular meetings and drills.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S SUDOKU
SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S CROSSWORD
SudokuFill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each num-ber can appear only once in each row, col-umn, and 3x3 block. Use logic and pro-cess of elimination to solve the puzzle.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You express yourself without worrying whether the other person approves of or agrees with you. This is true confidence. Continue in this manner the entire day and you will, by day’s end, have a handful of new fans.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have many potential futures, and whichever you choose, destiny will have a hand in it, too. (It’s why many possible routes wind up at the same party on the same night.) Just pick one and enjoy your choice.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You love a good challenge. So why is it so hard to believe that others do as well? Turn things into a game, and invite people to play. If you happen to benefit from their efforts, then it’s a double win.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Saying yes when you want
to say no doesn’t have to cause resentment. Chalk it up to experience and heart. If you only did things that seemed like things you’d do, you’d be a very limited person indeed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve been wronged. Holding onto this won’t teach the other person a thing. It won’t, in fact, diminish their life in any way. But it will wreak havoc on your own. Let it go.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Structure is proof of a higher thought process, and there’s nobility in its execution. What you need is a plan -- better yet, a system you can follow repeatedly and that works every time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Many will get out of an obligation the same way they got into it, with a polite lie. To
avoid landing in such a position, steer conversations toward the things of true interest and add a dash more honesty than is comfortable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are right to suspect anyone working too hard for your approval or trust. You, like other trustworthy people, don’t give a lot of thought to the matter because you’ve nothing to hide and only good intentions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Jellyfish don’t have brains, technically speaking, though their neural networks have intelligently kept the species alive for 500 million years. Likewise, you’ll execute much brilliance today without thinking.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe you believe you must succeed in a task, and that’s a motivating thought. Just keep an open mind as to what success looks like. Success has a habit of changing costumes for the second act.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Security-seekers want you to believe the contracts of life are ironclad when in reality life is a constant negotiation. Things change moment to moment. There’s a way to keep your commitments without being trapped by them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This is how it’s always been -- strife out there, complications in here and varying degrees of turmoil in the middle. Your acknowledgment of the normalcy of this state will help you make good decisions calmly.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (FEBRUARY DAY )
Gaining skills will be an adventure and a source of pride. You’ll adopt new ways of running your life, some based on technology, others on a fresh understanding of your talents and priorities. You’ll be supported by a fun group, lifted by excellence, and, in turn, you’ll inspire others. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 3, 33 and 27.

dedicate her time at a neonatal intensive care unit when she wasn’t busy expanding her charitable work in Vietnam.
Do was also busy volunteering at her neighborhood library in Sawtelle, where she was hit by a car while crossing the street this past December.
The accident resulted in a number of injuries and required her to receive intensive care in Anaheim. In January, Do’s condition was described as fragile and complex, but she has since seen some improvement, which has given her medical team and family the hope for recovery.
Local residents and former coworkers of Do have eagerly donated more than $4,000 to a GoFundMe, which has a goal of $5,000 and was started to help pay for the cost of Do’s care and other expenses.
Do’s niece Xuan Tran took time this week to thank the community for the kind words, donations and love her family has received in the past few months during their trying time.
“It means the world to our family, and I know my aunt will be so moved when she hears of all the support she has received from close friends and strangers who have never met her,” Tran said, mentioning Do is currently in a skilled nursing facility located in Orange County where she recently celebrated her 64th birthday alongside family and loved ones. “Her fractures and brain injuries are healing, and she is now able to
speak, move her arms, and eat whole foods, (and) best of all, her funny, stubborn, and caring personality shine through during her moments of alertness.”
Initially, family members didn’t know if Do would recover at all, much less get back to what she was before the accident, but now her many relatives are hopeful she’ll be able to walk again in the next year.
“This happened two months ago, but today she’s walking with a walker relatively unassisted, she’s able to speak the many languages she once did and she’s being cranky, making jokes and all of that,” Tran said. “It’s been great to see all of that personality come back, and we feel very, very lucky. We do believe she will be able to live independently in the future if her therapies go well.”
Tran added she didn’t know how many lives her aunt had previously touched but it’s become apparent throughout the healing process.
“It’s amazing that all these people who we’ve never met or heard of have rallied together to support her, her family and her healing process,” Tran said, mentioning how teachers, mall booth employees and others have reached out to offer a kind word about her aunt. “It’s been amazing and I think it’s definitely contributed to my family’s healing as well my aunt’s so it’s something I personally am so grateful for.”
Local residents who wish to contribute to the Do’s GoFundMe can do so by visiting gofundme.com/f/1vuz17q9dc.*
Jay’s 60-year anniversary and a change in management from longtime owner Mike Anderson, who took over the business when founder Jay Fionella retired in 2000, to his son Chris Anderson.
The younger Anderson told the Daily Press last year that he would preserve the main, 10-table dive as it appeared to famous mid-century patrons like the Rat Pack and Julie Andrews.
“My dad always taught me that most
restaurants have great food, but what was super important was to lock down a great concept, because a patron will remember the laughing and the joking and the specialness of a restaurant over the food,” Anderson said. “You’ve obviously got to have good food, but if you walk into a place and it feels magical, most people remember that more. You can’t just build history.”
But with an of-the-moment patio and a health-conscious concessions stand on the way, it seems that Chez Jay is also ready to embrace 21st-century dining.
serious incidents.”But the station at 1100 Palisades Beach
Road, which consists of an existing storage building and trailer and is equipped with smaller vehicles, beach vehicles, bicycles and one full-size fire truck, is technically not allowed on the beach under the city’s zoning regulations.
On Tuesday, the City Council could vote to change the code to allow public safety facilities so the station can remain in place as
a pilot and the city can consider whether to turn it into a permanent station.
“SMFD seeks to continue the temporary fire station pilot for an additional period while considering options to consider a permanent station on the site,” staff said. “Accordingly, staff recommends that (City) Council adopt an Emergency Interim Zoning Ordinance in order to ensure that the service that began on a trial basis is permitted to continue and provide enhanced emergency service to the area.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Leatha Pauline Rains CASE NUMBER: 19STPB09535To all heirs, beneficiaries, cred-itors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of Leatha Pauline Rains, aka Polly Rains .A Petition for Probate has been filed by Toni Delene Rains in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. The Petition for Probate requests Toni Delene Rains be appointed as personal represen-tative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the dece-dent’s will and codicils, if any admitted to probate. The will and codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal repre-sentative to take many actions without obtaining court approv-
al. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to inter-ested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 04/24/2020 Time: 8:30 a.m Dept. Room 217 - Address of Court: 111 N. Hill St Los Angeles, CA 90012If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objec-tions with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contin-gent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the per-sonal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the
date of first issuance of letters to a general personal repre-sentative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a per-son interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inven-tory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is avail-able from the court clerk. Petitioner: Toni Delene Rains 2400 Beverly Ave #14.
