The Santa Monica City Council is set to vote to extend its marijuana regulations as dispensaries that have not been allowed to open in the city appeal the permitting process.

Santa Monica’s marijuana ordinance, which was passed a few months after recreational marijuana was legalized statewide, allows only medical marijuana dispensaries and some medical marijuana manufacturing. The October 2017 regulations permit two dispensaries in the city, neither of which have opened. City staff is asking City Council to vote Tuesday to extend the

current regulations through January 2023 until the permitting issues that have prevented the dispensaries from opening have been resolved.

Dispensaries can only open along a two-mile stretch of Wilshire Boulevard from Lincoln Boulevard to city limits or on Santa Monica Boulevard between Lincoln and 20th Street or between 23rd Street and Centinela Avenue.

The shops may not be within 600 feet of a school, daycare, park, library, social services center or the other cannabis business.

Opening a dispensary costs $21,379. The conditional use permit

Safety improvements announced for Wilshire Boulevard

MADELEINE PAUKERSMDP Staff Writer

Santa Monica is planning to makeover its portion of Wilshire Boulevard.

The 2.4-mile stretch of Wilshire has been the site of six traffic-related fatalities and 29 severe injuries over the past 11 years, prompting local officials to propose adding a suite of safety improvements to the street

that could range from $11.5 to $22 million. The proposal City Council will vote on Tuesday includes a short-term plan to improve the

UCLA

Dr. Jane Goodall to deliver Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership at UCLA on April 1

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, will deliver the Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership at UCLA’s Royce Hall on April 1, as part of the celebration of UCLA’s Centennial year. The renowned animal behavior expert and conservationist is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a U.N. Messenger of Peace.

During the lecture, which marks the 60th anniversary of the start of her pioneering research, Goodall will discuss her journey from groundbreaking researcher of wild chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania, to internationally renowned activist. She will also share her reasons for hope for the future, talk about the work of the Jane Goodall Institute and the organization’s Roots & Shoots youth program, and encourage audience members to make a difference every single day.

Following her remarks, Goodall will be joined by a moderator for a discussion drawing from questions submitted by UCLA students and alumni.

The UCLA College lecture is a ticketed event, although tickets will be available at no cost for UCLA students (one complimentary ticket per student with a valid registration and BruinCard). The event also is open to the campus community, alumni and the general public. Ticket infor-mation and other event details are available on the Luskin Lecture website.

“Dr. Jane Goodall is a true pioneer who exemplifies how one person can make a huge dif-ference in the world,” UCLA Chancellor Gene Block said. “We are delighted to welcome her to campus for the Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership, to share her inspiring vision with UCLA.”

Goodall’s talk will be the fifth Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership. The series was estab-lished in the UCLA College by Meyer and Renee Luskin in 2011 as part of a transformative gift to UCLA. Their vision in establishing the endowed lecture series gives the UCLA College an unprec-edented opportunity to share knowledge and expand the dialogue among scholars, leaders in government and business, and the greater Los Angeles community. Previous speakers have included former President Bill Clinton, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Royce Hall, UCLA Campus. Wednesday, April 1, at 5:30 p.m.; doors open at 5 p.m. Free for UCLA students with valid UCLA BruinCard while tickets last. $30 for faculty and staff, $50 for the general public and $100 for premier seating. Tickets are available at the UCLA Central Ticket Office, tickets.ucla.edu and (310) 825-2101. Limits on ticket purchases may apply.

MalibuOpera Double Bill

Members of the Flora L. Thornton Opera Program will perform a double bill of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi at Pepperdine University’s Smothers Theatre on Thursday, February 27 and Saturday, February 29, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts.

Tickets, starting at $20 for adults, $16 for Pepperdine faculty and staff, and $10 for full-time Pepperdine students, are available now by calling (310) 506-4522 or visiting arts.pepperdine.edu.

The Flora Thorton Opera Program showcases its depth and versatility in this double bill. Both operas feature memorable arias such as “When I am laid in earth” and the iconic “O mio babbino caro.” While the styles of these two works are starkly different, both deal with themes of love, death, and personal agency.

Pepperdine’s production of Dido and Aeneas and Gianni Scicchi is directed by Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Opera Keith Colclough.

Colclough directs the all-student cast, which features Bethany Adamski, Noah Archibald, Anahi Casas Perez, Malone Blaich, Anika DeLong, Jack Gerding, Abigail Gast, Brandon Gille, Joe Hebel, Andrea Hupman, Hannah Miller, Luke Oldroyd, Angelo Silva, Nathan Thompson, Emma Ujifusa, Haily Watson, and Kaytlin Withers.

“These works were selected to highlight our wealth of talented students and to celebrate the evolution and variety of style in opera. While both are standard operatic repertoire, they vary drastically in vocal style, orchestration, dramatic pacing, and in the function of the ensemble. This provides a fun challenge for our students and design team. I think they will really shine in these productions.” said Colclough.

Each opera will be sung in their original languages (English for Dido and Aeneas and Italian for Gianni Schicchi).

Dido and Aeneas and Gianni Schicchi, Thursday, February 27, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, February 29, at 7:30 p.m. Smothers Theatre, Pepperdine University, 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu.

Green scootingDEAR EARTHTALK: WHAT’S THE ENVIRONMEN-TAL IMPACT OF THESE DOCKLESS E-SCOOT-ERS I SEE ALL OVER TOWN NOW? — JIM M. SALISBURY, CT

By now, you’ve certainly seen dockless e-scooters in your town or somewhere nearby. Some 85,000 of these electric-powered, phone-unlockable mini-vehicles crowd the streets and sidewalks of 100 different metro areas across the U.S. In 2018 they surpassed dockless e-bikes as the most common app-rentable transport option nationwide, with riders taking them on some 38.5 million trips.

These e-scooters are often marketed as “green” or “carbon-neutral” because they run off electric batteries instead of fossil fuels, but consumers shouldn’t think they’re getting a completely guilt-free ride. A recent lifecycle analysis from North Carolina State University assessing the “cradle-to-grave” environmental impact of e-scooters found that bicycling, walking and buses are all “greener” ways to get around.

A rider hopping on an e-scooter doesn’t necessarily think about the carbon emissions and other impacts involved with manufacturing, transporting and maintaining these otherwise low-impact electric vehicles. “If you only think about the segment of the life cycle you can see, which would be standing on the e-scooter where there’s no tailpipe, it’s easy to make that assumption,” says Jeremiah Johnson, an NC State professor and study co-author. “But if you take a step back, you can see all the other things that are a bit hidden in the process.”

While relatively light and small, e-scooters must carry a battery in addition to their basic frame and electronic systems. Producing these batteries takes a heavy toll on the environment, although no worse than similar types of batteries used in e-bikes

and even electric cars. Besides the batteries, the aluminum used to create the e-scooters’ frames and the rubber for their tires add to their environmental footprint.

The NC State researchers found that about half of an e-scooter’s carbon footprint is created during production, while most of the rest (43 percent) comes from collecting and recharging them every night. In general, e-scooters are charged by freelance workers known as “juicers.” At the end of each day, they take e-scooters off the street and typically charge them up at home via their own power outlets (likely not from renewable sources). Furthermore, the majority of juicers pick up e-scooters in gas-powered cars or trucks. The upshot is that the common charging process is a long way from being carbon neutral.

That said, e-scooters are currently about twice as efficient as the average car in per passenger miles per gallon (in this case CO2 units emitted per passenger carried a distance of one mile). However, a car carrying more than one passenger can reach the same or even better levels of efficiency as an e-scooter. Buses, when fully loaded, easily beat e-scooters in per passenger efficiency, while bicycles easily beat buses.

Of course, e-scooters are sure to become more efficient in the future as both the production and pick-up processes get greener. As a consumer, you can improve the situation by using e-scooters to replace car trips, but bikes or buses are still a better choice as far as the planet is concerned.

The City’s #PlayLikeAGirlMalibu Initiative Continues with a Free Tennis Clinic for Girls

The City of Malibu is proud to continue the #PlayLikeAGirlMalibu initiative by offering free seasonal Girls Sports Clinics to the community. This winter, girls ages 10 through 14 years old have an opportunity to participate in a Girls Tennis Clinic instructed by Coach John Rom, an accomplished tennis player, for a day of tennis drills and scrimmages.

The Girls Tennis Clinic will take place on Saturday, February 22, 2 – 3 p.m. at the Malibu High School Tennis Courts. Participation in the clinic is free to all participants. Register online at MalibuCity.org/Register.

The #PlayLikeAGirlMalibu campaign aims to encourage girls of all ages to participate in the City’s wide offerings of youth sports classes as well as to provide a platform for girls’ sports programs to be highlighted in the community. The City’s goal is to improve the representation of women and girls in positions of leadership in sport and recreation.

road’s signage, crosswalks, crossing signals and medians over a one to two year period.

The plan grew out of last year’s Wilshire Safety Study, which found that 89% of severe pedestrian and bicyclist injuries happened at intersections without traffic lights. 20% of crashes involve a left or through movement from sidestreets, despite representing only 1% of overall traffic volume.

Residents older than 55 comprise 27% of the city population, but 70% of the fatal and severe injury collisions on Wilshire, the study found.

The first phase of the proposal would make 13 cross streets without traffic signals right-turn only and restrict U-turns at several intersections to reduce the risk of car and pedestrian collisions, according to a staff report.

Pedestrian warning signage and road markings would be added throughout the corridor and flashing pedestrian lights would be installed at five intersections. Existing north to south bicycle routes that cross Wilshire would be enhanced with intersection markings.

Two bus stops would be relocated to the far side of intersections, two stops would be consolidated and a bus queue jump lane would be installed in the eastbound direction at Lincoln Boulevard and 14th Street.

The second phase of the proposal would add a traffic light at Wilshire and 16th Street, extend the curb at seven crosswalks to improve pedestrian visibility and reduce crossing distances, and add protected left

turns at six intersections. In the third phase, a traffic light would

be added at Wilshire and Chelsea Avenue to facilitate bicycle connections and improve access to Douglas Park, additional curb extensions would be installed, all bus stops would be relocated to the far side of intersections and additional bus queue jump lanes would be added.

A curbside management plan, which could include dedicated short-term parking for deliveries and rideshare pick-up, would be put in place. Light poles may be upgraded or replaced.

The estimated cost for the design and construction of the plan is about $11.5 to $13.5 million, including $1 to $1.5 million for phase one, $4.5 to $5 million for phase two and $6 to $7 million for phase three, according to the staff report.

The city currently has funding for the design and implementation of the phase one improvements and a small portion of the phase two improvements. For the remainder of phase two and phase three, staff would pursue grants from Caltrans and Measure M.

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). Your life, which you feel should be familiar to you by now, tears off from the form, sprinting, darting, circling back to offer you a choice: Either get back in step or see it so vividly that you couldn’t possibly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s nothing more powerful than loving a person who is not behaving in a way you’d prefer. The true test of a relationship and of individual character is the ability to set aside selfish interests to do the right thing in the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You decide what to focus on, and this choice takes care of hundreds of other choices. Magic happens when you center yourself on the people, activities and environments that are most aligned with what you want.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you judged it wrong, don’t worry. There really is no better way to get better at life. Clear thinking is a product of judging things wrong time and again, realizing the error and trying to assess it another way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most people fear loss more than they desire gain, and this is why they play it safe. Having very little to lose is an excellent position and the one that produces the most exciting risk-taking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You remember what happened when emotions ran high, because intense emotions are like super glue for the pictures we add to the scrapbook of the mind. It’s really hard to remember things you don’t care about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Opinions change all the time in an environment in which there’s not a lot of ego, identity or punishment wrapped up in the consequences of change. Relatedly, it will be easier to influence people one on one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While you prefer the meaning of things to be straightforward, as it makes your decisions easier, there is opportunity in ambiguity, which requires more concentration and more heart, and brings commensurate reward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day’s gifts will need to be unwrapped. (Many will walk past, leaving them on the table. Incuriousness is a shame.) Excellent questions are like deft fingers peeling away at what’s covering a surprise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Nothing triggers obsessive thoughts quite as effectively as unrequited feelings. The extension of energy left unmet is like an open drain into which feelings can flow, endlessly wasting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This relationship has dynamics, some parts that feel so much better to you than others. It may help you to realize the pattern and recognize it as a larger set of emotions that will be cycled through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You walk your talk and are really good at knowing who else out there can be trusted. The tricky part is the gray area of new territory. People are experimenting. It could go either way. The question is: Can you afford the risk?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (FEBRUARY 10)

Your presence! Many will remark that you are more strongly felt than ever, like a lighthouse on the shore sending a warm beacon to guide ships to adventure or bring them safely home. As for your own agendas and ambitions, you’ll find they come to fruition more easily than ever. It’s quite simply your time. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 35, 44, 1 and 10.

costs $19,257.25, the annual dispensary permit costs $1,822.10 and the business license costs $109.41. Other fees total $191.

Staff said in a report that they anticipated the permit process for the two permitted dispensaries would be completed by April 2020, when the current regulations are set to expire.

In August 2018, the city announced that 21 applicants had been deemed qualified to be considered for one of the two medical marijuana permits. Officials have since ranked the top two applicants based on their business experience and the details of their proposed

operations, staff said.But staff said the businesses appealed the

city’s ranking. The appeals will not be resolved until early next year and Santa Monica may not see a dispensary open until 2021 or 2022.

Additionally, the city has issued one license for the light manufacturing of medical marijuana, according to the staff report. Light manufacturing includes the production of marijuana-based lotions or edibles without a retail storefront.

In October 2017, staff said they were considering allowing recreational marijuana after the two medical dispensaries open.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal 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 representative, 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 person 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.
