Beverly Hills and WeHo To Decide Fate of "Log Cabin"

The "Too Hot Tamales" Return to Santa Monica 14

The City of Beverly Hills is in the spotlight over its actions as a landowner in a neighboring city. On Jan. 13, Beverly Hills and the City of West Hollywood released a joint statement announcing that they are in “discussions to determine a shared approach to the current uses” at the historic Log Cabin at 621 N. Robertson Blvd. The Log Cabin, which is occupied by the West Hollywood Lions Club, is a meeting place for drug and alcohol recovery groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous. But, as evidenced by the public outcry following the press release, the Log Cabin is more than just a meeting venue; it is a revered space. The Lion’s Club Log Cabin is a hub for hundreds of people in all stages of recovery, from all walks of life, who come through the doors each day in the name of sobriety.

The Log Cabin is a one-story clubhouse built circa 1936 when it was first home to Troop 27 of the Boy Scouts of America. The building looks exactly as the name suggests, a quintessential storybook log cabin that one might find at summer camp. The exterior wall is made of wood log, and a small front entry porch is located at the top of a short flight of concrete steps and centered under a projecting gable. The entrance consists of a pair of plain wood doors with decorative metal strap hinges.

Bordering Beverly Hills, the Log Cabin is on North Robertson Boulevard, just off Melrose Avenue, surrounded by

high-end retailers such as Chrome Hearts and Maxfield. Catty corner is Cecconi's West Hollywood, a posh Italian restaurant known for their $48 black truffle pizza pies. The Log Cabin bears no resemblance to the upscale neighborhood surrounding it, but that is part of the appeal that attracts people in

recovery from all walks of life.

While the Log Cabin is located within the city limits of West Hollywood, the property itself is owned by the City of Beverly Hills.

SINCE 1965

The Beverly Hills Arts and Culture Commission kicked off its first meeting of the year on Jan. 14 by reaffirming its priority to maintain a robust arts program for the City.

Following its recognition of the successful Jan. 12 ribbon-cutting ceremony for the North Canon mural “Thousand Regards/ Shape of Color” by Tomokazu Matsuyama, the Commission spent much of the meeting discussing the slate of artistic opportunities in store for locals and visitors in the coming year.

The Commission enthusiastically agreed to work with the Beverly Hills Historical Society (beverlyhillshistoricalsociety.org) to provide “listening tour” presentations, accessible via one’s smartphone, throughout the City.

“It’s a natural fit, and we want to work with you,” said Commission Vice Chair Carolyn Hiller following a presentation by

the Society’s president Phil Savenick.

The Historical Society currently offers two enhanced walking virtual tours on its website; one on Rodeo Drive and its architecture and history and the other on where all the old movie stars lived.

Easily accessible from the website’s homepage, the two walking tours offer route maps, videos, photographs and a bounty of stories. One such story talks about how former famed local Fred Astaire would promptly arrive at the Beverly Hills Post Office daily at 3 p.m. to pick up his mail, and if it was not ready, the Golden Age film star would tap on the floor until it was.

“Basically our mandate is to try to entertain in an educational way,” Savenick said. “We have all these assets. We’d love to figure out ways to work with the community.”

Community Lula Washington Dance Theatre Pickleball Comes to Beverly Hills Celebrates 40th Anniversary at The Wallis

BY ANA FIGUEROA

BY SANDR A SIMS

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts will showcase the Lula Washington Dance Theatre’s 40th anniversary with three performances from Jan. 30 through Feb. 1. The program celebrates the dance company's rich history along with new works mixing jazz, hip-hop, African movement, ballet, modern, tap and other dance styles.

The Courier spoke with founder Lula Washington about this milestone event and the dance company’s relationship with The Wallis. Washington told the Courier that the performances are designed to explore social and humanitarian issues through dance. “I look for music or statements that will help create the ideas and tell the story,” she said.

Choreographer Christopher Huggins, a former dancer with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, will present a new piece for the program, a tribute to her. “When he [Huggins] first came to L.A., I gave him a job teaching.

He created classes for our youth group. This is the second piece of choreography that he created for us. Several years ago, he created a wonderful piece of choreography called ‘Love Is.’ Every time we do it, people love it. And now, we have new work that we are excited about,” said Washington.

Choreographer Tommy Wahed Evans will also present a dance piece for the anniversary performance. “He received a Princess Grace Foundation grant that we recommended him for, so he wanted to present

the piece that he created,” said Washington.

The repertoire will also include excerpts of her dance piece, “Fragments,” which she describes as a way to “find some peace within ourselves, and arts is part of that solution.” Washington added, “We are also doing the King performance from ‘The Movement’ piece since the [Martin Luther] King holiday is around the same time.”

Washington’s goal for the upcoming performances is to motivate and inspire conversation as well as entertain. “I hope that people will bring their children, because children need to be exposed to art. When I was growing up, my family couldn't afford to put me in dance classes and didn't know anything about the arts. I didn't even know that there was anything like dance that would be something that I could possibly do,” she said.

Washington was introduced to the arts by a dance teacher at Harbor Community College. “I had never been to a concert dance performance ever, and the dance teacher invited me to go with the other students to see Alvin Ailey at UCLA. It was the first time that I had a realization that dance was something that I could do as a black person because I saw all kinds of people dancing on the stage in Mr. Alvin Ailey's dance company.

There were people from all over the world and people that looked like me,” she noted.

Hundreds of people turned out at Beverly Hills Tennis Center on Jan. 12 to celebrate the kickoff of Pickleball in Beverly Hills. The City’s Community Services department, in collaboration with City Council, the Recreation and Parks Commission and the community helped bring the sport—popular throughout the country—to Beverly Hills.

The sport combines aspects of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It’s very easy to learn and well-suited for kids, families, active adults, and seniors.

In his remarks, Mayor John A. Mirisch described pickleball as a sport that appeals to both young and old and everyone in between. “Thanks to the vision of members in our community, our Recreation and Parks Commission and our Community Services Department, this idea has come to fruition,” said Mirisch. “Beverly Hills strives to provide quality recreation programs to preserve the health and well-being of our community members and program participants.

In offering recreational programs, we are strengthening and supporting our communities, promoting social bonds, providing physical and mental benefits.”

Recreation and Parks Commission Chair Julian Javor encouraged the crowd to learn more about Pickleball through our Beverly

Hills Tennis and Pickleball Professionals as well as members of the USA Pickleball Association in attendance.

“While the City offers hundreds of classes and programs with over 17,500 annual registrations, as well as youth and adult sports, including tennis, we did not have a Pickleball program. And this is one of the fastest growing sports today. Firsttimers can learn as quickly as 15 minutes. It can be social or highly competitive, which is why it’s so much fun to play,” said Javor.

The six-month pilot program will be used to gauge interest in deciding whether or not to continue the program. By the turnout at the Kickoff Event, it seems this sport is here to stay.

“For those of you who are new to the sport, we hope you enjoy it and spread the word. For those of you who are experienced, we hope you will be ambassadors and encourage more people to play in Beverly Hills,” added Mirisch.

For more information on how to get involved in pickleball, call Community Services at 310-285-6810 or the Beverly Hills Pro Shop at 310-652-7555. For reservations, lessons and clinics, visit www.beverlyhills. org/pickleball.

News City of Beverly Hills Launches Sustainability Workshop Series

Beverly Hills Celebrates Mural Ribbon Cutting

BY SANDR A SIMS

BY SANDR A SIMS

The City of Beverly Hills continues its efforts to protect the environment through sustainability projects including the upcoming series of free, educational workshops designed to open dialogue about ways to improve quality of life and counter the effects of climate change.

The workshops will take place over the course of three days on Jan. 30, Feb. 12, and March 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Beverly Hills City Hall Municipal Gallery with a different speaker for each day. The series will be interactive with expert led presentations and Q&A audience participation.

Beverly Hills resident Dr. Woodrow W. Clark II will kick off the series on Jan. 30 as the first speaker. Dr. Clark II will discuss the concept of Circular Economics exploring the potential to better utilize byproducts and waste as raw materials and alternative fuel. He is a former contributing scientist to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 along with Al Gore.

Bernadet Garcia-Silva, Project Manager for the Los Angeles County Food Redistribution Initiative (LACFRI) will provide her expertise at the next workshop, scheduled for Feb.

The last workshop on March 11 will be led

by Caryn Mandelbaum who oversees the Water Program at Environment Now, a nonprofit that partners with the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. She will address the recurring drought issue in California which is affecting all people, plants, and animals living in the Golden State.

“The City of Beverly Hills is committed to letting its businesses and residents know about the impacts of climate change and what we, as a community, can do to minimize our carbon footprint,” said Shana Epstein, Director of Public Works. “This workshop series is an example of our dedication to get the word out and be part of a solution.”

Environment al C ompliance and Sustainability Programs Manager Josette Descalzo told the Courier that attendees do not have to register in order to attend the informative sessions. “We are starting with a bang,” he said. For additional questions, contact Public Works Customer Service at 310285-2467 or email AskPW@beverlyhills.org.

Beverly Hills residents, businesses and community leaders came together for the North Canon Mural Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Jan. 12. Among those in attendance were Mayor John Mirisch, Vice Mayor Lester Friedman, and Councilmembers Dr. Julian A. Gold, Lili Bosse and Robert Wunderlich. Mural artist Tomokazu Matsuyama was on hand

to talk about his creative vision. “The idea behind this mural is really about diversity.

In the U.S. or anywhere in the world, we talk about minorities, women empowerment, and all these things that collide to become 'us.' That is what I'm trying to convey with this mural," Matsuyama explained.

City Council Shores Up 2020 Legislative Platform

BY L AUR A COLEMAN

With over 2,000 state legislative bills introduced annually, it’s quasi-impossible for one person to keep track of all of them, according to Beverly Hills Policy and Management Analyst Cynthia Owens. That's where the City's Legislative Platform comes in. The platform provides Beverly Hills’ lobbyists the ability to know how the Council thinks on a variety of issues.

“We want to make sure that our residents are being represented as well as our businesses,” Deputy City Manager Gabriella Yap told the Courier. “It’s the voice that the City has to give input on the legislation.”

In an effort to ensure that the City of Beverly Hills is effectively positioned to advocate for its best interests, on Jan. 9 the City Council crystalized Beverly Hills’ 2020 Legislative Platform, asking Owens to include additional key initiatives into the executive summary, including minimizing food waste and issues with mental health and sustainability. The updated platform is expected to return to the City Council for formal approval on Jan. 28.

The platform, which outlines policies to enable staff and lobbyists to effectively respond to and influence legislation by taking a stand for or against a bill, is intended to provide clear direction for the City’s legislative advocates and City staff to secure initiatives locally, as well as in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. According to Owens, as long as a bill falls within the parameters of what the City has already taken a stance on, City staff can craft a letter of support or opposition. In the absence of adopting a legislative platform, she said that every single bill would have to go to City Council in order for the City to take a formal position.

“It allows us to respond very quickly when things are moving in Sacramento and at a very swift pace,” Owens told the Courier. “I can’t tell you how many times our lobbyists tell us how helpful these letters are.”

The primary legislative focus includes protecting local government control, maintaining

local government revenue, pursuing homeland security funding, obtaining funding for environmental sustainability, transportation, recreational, technology and infrastructure improvements.

Proposed additions for 2020 include opposing state legislation and guidelines issued by the Bureau of Cannabis Control over the sale and distribution of cannabis and supporting the Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act. While recreational cannabis is legal statewide thanks to Proposition 64, with marijuana dispensaries scattered throughout Los Angeles, the Beverly Hills City Council wants to keep it out of the City. State law does allow residents to grow up to six marijuana plants in their homes in compliance with state law. The City has enacted strict regulations to maintain its local control, prohibiting everything within its power with the exception of the delivery of medical cannabis. Earlier this year, the City sued the state to prohibit the delivery of recreational marijuana into Beverly Hills.

The upcoming crime reduction initiative, slated for the November ballot, would expand the list of violent crimes for which early release is not an option. The initiative, which Beverly Hills fully supports, is in response to Proposition 47, Proposition 57 and Assembly Bill 109, which made some prisoners eligible for early parole by reclassifying certain offenses as non-violent crimes. Owens characterized some of those reclassified crimes as “literally jaw-dropping.” Currently, the State of California no longer considers raping someone who has been drugged or human trafficking of a child to be serious crimes.

“We’ve been told our City punches above its weight class in Sacramento,” Owens said in reference to City’s population of fewer than 35,000 residents. “[The legislators] want to know how we stand on the issues because we speak for the residents who are ultimately their constituents.”

Urth Caffé owner Shallom Berkman received the Kindness Recognition Award from Mayor John Mirisch and the Beverly Hills City Council on Jan. 9.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) honored Washington Post journalist Souad Mekhennet (center) with its International Leadership Award on Jan. 17 at the Museum of Tolerance.

NEWS

(Robbery continued from page 1) It began at approximately 5:35 p.m., when Beverly Hills Police responded to a report of an armed robbery involving shots fired. A male suspect had approached a male adult victim on the sidewalk in the 300 block of N. Canon Drive. The suspect displayed a firearm and demanded the victim's jewelry.

According to police authorities, the suspect and victim did not know each other. After taking the victim's necklace, the suspect ran from the location. Sometime during his attempt to escape, the suspect fired his gun. No one was struck by gunfire or injured during the robbery.

The event did cause disruption in the area, as police engaged in a three-hour search. Restaurant patrons were unable to reach their dining destinations. Pedestrians were left stranded on street corners, unable to access their vehicles.

Business went on as usual at the Italian restaurant Via Alloro, where a waitress told the Courier that diners on the sidewalk continued their meals, nonplussed by the nearby activity. Stacie Fox, general manager of Del Lago Beverly Hills in the BHPD Crime Prevention Tips:

What to do BEFORE and After an Incident:

• Install video surveillance and make its existence known with signage; • Keep store windows clear to allow for visibility in and outside; • Ensure that the exterior of the business is well-lit at night; • Greet customers with eye contact and be attentive; • Stage employees apart within the store to have adequate floor coverage; • Be alert to customers without a clear purpose; • Keep non-public doors closed and locked; • Make certain that your alarm system is functioning properly; • Set your video surveillance system to the correct date and time, and set to record; • Establish safety protocols for employees to follow in case of an emergency; and • Communicate information with all employees and surrounding business.

• Public safety is a partnership; • Do your best to stay calm and be a good witness. Follow any instructions given; • As soon as it is safe to do so, activate the panic alarm and call 9-1-1; • The dispatcher will ask you questions about what happened and what the suspect looks like. Be prepared to answer questions about: (1) The suspect’s physical description (gender, age, race, height, weight, hair and eye color) (2) What the suspect was wearing (3) The suspect’s vehicle description and which direction the suspect left the scene (4) If the suspect had any weapons • Do not follow the suspect. The police will respond and make efforts to locate and arrest.; and • Avoid touching any items or areas the suspect may have touched to preserve any forensic evidence for police to collect.

(Mural continued from page 4) “From Beverly Hills, from Los Angeles, from California, from the U.S. to the world, hopefully this vibrant mural will have a global impact on the community.”

Barbara Lazaroff, 32-year Beverly Hills resident and founding partner of Spago Beverly Hills, said, “Today we are celebrating a beautiful testament to community cooperation. Because of the challenge of the metro construction, we needed a solution.

Thanks to Councilmember Lili Bosse and Mayor Mirisch, a vision started to become a reality.” She added, “We are striving to preserve the character and flow of our City to ensure that it remains a destination for shopping, dining, hotels, parks, and cultural attractions.”

The mural's positive impact on surrounding businesses was recognized by City officials and business leaders. Councilwoman Bosse said, “People are going to want to

Montage Beverly Hills said that her staff felt safe because police secured the area.

“Business actually increased,” she told the Courier. “People were confined due to the police lockdown.”

During that lockdown, officers responded to a men’s clothing store in the 200 block of N. Beverly Drive. The suspect had entered the location, and was seen talking on a cell phone, according to a store employee. When officers approached, the suspect ran out the rear of the store after leaving the gun inside in between fabric samples. He was located hiding behind boxes in the 200 block of the N. Beverly/Canon alley at approx. 8:30 p.m. and safely taken into custody. Employees of the nearby Sweet Beverly Bistro had seen the suspect hiding in the boxes and told the Courier they could have been in imminent danger. “We were handling those boxes and it could have ended badly,” said one employee.

Newsom is currently in police custody in Los Angeles awaiting his preliminary hearing scheduled for Jan. 29. His prior criminal history includes two other felony arrests in 2017 and 2019.

come here and enjoy this beautiful art mural and then the wonderful businesses around it. So it turned out to be a win/win situation for everybody.” Councilman Gold added, “We are fortunate to actually be able to take something that is a negative and turn it into a positive. We know that we are going to have this wall up for two years, and it could have been an eye sore. But what we have been able to do is beautify it in a Beverly Hills kind of way.”

Todd Johnson, President and CEO of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, expressed a similar sentiment. “At the end of the day, this is really good for business all around us. It's world class, and that's what Beverly Hills is all about,” he said.

Mastro’s Steakhouse and Spago Beverly Hills provided food for the event, and attendees were also provided with commemorative scarves replicating the mural design.

(Arts and Culture continued from page 1) Savenick also shared with the Commission how he and local Robbie Anderson, whose great grandmother Margaret Anderson built and owned the Beverly Hills Hotel, were preparing to unveil a holographic rendition of the City-owned sculpture “Celluloid” at the upcoming Beverly Hills artSHOW in May where visitors can create 3-dimensional version of the sculpture on their phone. The sculpture, which rests on the traffic-island at Beverly Drive and Olympic Boulevard, pays homage to the City’s movie stars.

Following Savenick’s presentation, the Commission reaffirmed its commitment to moving forward with the creation of Art Walks brochures, which will feature around 70 art works in the City.

The Commission detailed how its work to rehab "Hymn of Life Tulips" by Yayoi Kusama in Beverly Gardens Park is currently underway.

As far as actually gaining possession of what the Commission characterized as “one of the finest pieces of our art collection” namely, the original sculpture "Iron Root" from world-renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, the work is still in China. A victim of the tariffs imposed under Section 301 Trade Remedies on China, the City is now being charged $135,000 more to import the sculpture, which represents a 15 percent tariff on the $900,00 purchase price.

The Commission confirmed that it had already made its first payment for the artwork, however, noted that City staff had

directed the Commission to wait until there was further clarity surround the specific amount of the tariff.

On Dec. 20, 2019, Mayor John Mirisch wrote a letter to Rep. Ted Lieu seeking the Congressman’s help in obtaining a product exclusion from the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

During the Commission meeting, the director of the Ai Weiwei-designed UTA Artist Space (http://utaartistspace.com), which opened in 2018 on Foothill Road in Beverly Hills, shared with the Commission the gallery’s plans for involvement in the upcoming Frieze Los Angeles. The Space’s current exhibition "Emerging Artists Subvert Black Narratives in ‘Disembodiment’” runs through Jan. 25.

Tufenkian Fine Arts (www.tufenkianfinearts.com) director Peter Frank also shared with the Commission that Beverly Hills ceramicist Andrew Frank and contemporary artist Diane Holland would be featured in the Glendale gallery’s upcoming show, “That Layered Look: Theme and Variations.” The opening reception is Jan. 18 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with the closing reception set for Feb. 23 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

“This Commission is one of the reasons why I was so excited to apply for my position,” the City's new Director of Community Services Jenny Rogers told the Commission, marking her second day in the position.

“This is just an incredibly exciting and innovative time, arts and culturally, for the City of Beverly Hills.”

Cynthia Greenwald is a Los Angeles-based art advisor. She works with individuals and businesses looking to build an art collection. Cynthia is also the Chair of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Advisory Council for the Arts.

Over the past 20 years, art fairs have taken off as the place to buy and sell — as well as learn about — art. Over a three-to-five day period, an art fair provides you with an opportunity to visit a variety of galleries from all over the world. Most art fairs feature programs such as artist talks and panel discussions that provide a great opportunity to learn more about art. In many cities, local galleries and cultural institutions will feature events and programming in coordination with an art fair.

There is no debating that art fairs have changed the way people buy and sell art.

According to the Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report 2019, art fair sales reached $16.5 billion in 2018. Art dealers reported that 46 percent of their sales came from art fairs, up from less than 30 percent in 2010.

Seeing art at an art fair is a different experience from viewing a piece in a gallery. At many galleries, a show features work from a single artist. In contrast, in their art fair booth, galleries will show the breadth of the artists they represent. This means you will have an opportunity to see works by far more artists than you would in an afternoon of gallery hopping. In addition to the galleries, art fairs often feature site-specific installations and display special projects.

For example, this February for Frieze Los Angeles, artist Tavares Strachan will create an 18-foot-long neon sculpture that reads Sometimes Lies Are Prettier: Art fairs typically have a focus on a particular period, such as contemporary art. Certain art fairs will center around a specific type of art such as photography or prints. A relatively new market entrant is the affordable-themed art fair, featuring

works by artists at an accessible price point.

An art fair may also provide you with an opportunity to see and purchase a piece of art that would not be available at the gallery.

That’s because if the artist is in between exhibitions, the gallery will bring a recent work the artist made in the studio to the fair.

For dealers and galleries, art fairs provide them with entry into a market where they do not have a physical presence. It is an opportunity to build relationships with collectors who may never have heard of their gallery, much less visited it. Often times you will have a better chance of meeting the dealer who owns the gallery at an art fair than you would if you walked into the gallery.

Art Fair History The world’s first art fair, the Venice Biennial, debuted in 1895 and is still going strong 125 years later. And it was an art fair, the 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art, better known as the Armory Show, which introduced modern art to the United States. Works by Matisse, Van Gogh, Cezanne and Picasso, on display for the first time in the United States, shocked and surprised visitors who were used to traditional, representational art.

The Modern Art Fair Expo Chicago, which started as Art Chicago in 1980, is probably the oldest of the U.S. art fairs still in operation. The art fair that has had the most significant impact on the U.S. art market is Art Basel Miami.

Art Basel, a highly successful, well-regarded Swiss art fair launched its Miami edition in 2002. Art Basel Miami takes places each December with more than 70,000 people attending, including many of Los Angeles’ leading collectors.

Another art world trend is for smaller, satellite art fairs to run at the same time as a major one. For example, this past December, there were about a dozen secondary art fairs taking place in Miami at the same time as Art Basel.

Los Angeles Lineup Fortunately, you no longer need to travel to attend a leading art fair. This February, Los Angeles is hosting a number of art fairs.

Here’s the 2020 lineup: LA Art Show, February 5-9: Started in 1995, this is the granddaddy of all Los Angeles art fairs. In addition to contemporary and modern art, this year’s fair features dedicated exhibit space for Asian ink paintings and luxury jewelry and accessories. https://laartshow.com.

Frieze Los Angeles, February 13-16: Like Art Basel, London-based Frieze is an international art fair operation. This is its second year in Los Angeles and the emphasis is on contemporary art. https://frieze.com/fairs/ frieze-los-angeles Art Los Angeles Contemporary (ALAC) February 14 - 16: After several years in Santa Monica, ALAC is moving to the Hollywood Athletic Club. Exhibitors are primarily Los Angeles galleries though some larger, international galleries also participate. https://artlosangelesfair.com Felix Art Fair, February 13 - 17: It is also the second year for the Felix Art Fair. It takes place at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, home of artist David Hockney’s famous pool mural. www.felixfair.com StARTup Los Angeles, February 14-16: In addition to Los Angeles, StARTup hosts art fairs in San Francisco and Houston. StARTup exhibitors are emerging artists, rather than galleries. www.startupartfair.com Art Fair Approach The more established art fairs take place in large venues such as hotel ballrooms, exhibit halls and convention centers. Smaller art fairs are often located in a cluster of hotel rooms. So rather than visiting booths, you will go to individual hotel rooms like the upcoming Felix Fair. Here in Los Angeles, one of our newest fairs Frieze Los Angeles takes place at a movie studio backlot!

Art Fair Preparation With long aisles to navigate and many booths to visit, it is easy to get fair fatigue.

You will get the most out of your visit with a bit of planning. That’s particularly important if you want to attend as many of the overlapping mid-February art fairs as possible.

After attending dozens of art fairs, here’s what I recommend. · Visit the art fair’s website to see which galleries are exhibiting. You can also buy tickets for the art fair online. Why waste time waiting in line at the art fair? · Take advantage of the related lectures and program around the art fair. They are a great way to learn something new about art. · If you are in a buying mood, it pays to either attend the opening night event or purchase a VIP pass with exclusive preview hours. That way you’ll have early access to the exhibit booths. · Bring paper and pen and wear comfortable shoes. · When you walk through the entrance, pick up the fair program and find the floor map. Mark the galleries you know that you’ll want to see and go to those first while you’re still fresh. · Take breaks. There is always a place to purchase food and drinks without leaving the fair. · Do not be afraid to ask questions.

Dealers want to tell you about the artist they represent. Add your name to the gallery mailing list so that you’ll know about upcoming exhibitions. · There may be some room for negotiation on the final day of the fair. Often dealers would prefer to make a sale rather than incur the cost of shipping the piece back to the gallery. Just do not expect to get a deal on a piece by a well-known artist that way.

You should view an art fair as an opportunity to broaden your knowledge of art and expand your circle of collectors, curators and dealers. And most importantly, have fun.

(Lula continued from page 3) Washington subsequently enrolled in the UCLA dance program where she and two other students started the first Black Dance Association at the university. “It was a dance club that we created to be able to perform our own works and have our own shows at UCLA,” she said.

Washington's dance career has been quite diverse. Among her many dance credits, she danced in “Funny Lady” with Barbara Streisand and worked as a choreographer for Disney's animated “Little Mermaid” and the film “Avatar.” Speaking of her work on the latter, Washington said that the dancers were equipped with motion sensors to capture movement.

Washington’s partnership with The Wallis includes community outreach in the form of dance workshops offered at both The Wallis and the Lula Washington Dance Theatre. “We do school shows and some masterclasses. This year, we are doing classes in our community, and last year we used The Wallis. The idea is that you create a class that anyone can participate in if they have a mindset to do it,” she said.

As the dance company celebrates the 40th anniversary of the troupe Washington started, she is more convinced than ever that the arts make a difference in people’s lives. “There’s a healing process that takes place ... participating in the arts. It helps to build self-esteem and self-confidence in young people. The exposure to it is crucial.”

Health and Wellness 2020 Flu Season Looking Painfully Bad

BY L AUR A COLEMAN

Offering cramping, sweats, fever, exhaustion, and perhaps the dreaded vomiting, the influenza is an harbinger of many things, none of them pleasant. Experts are now predicting that this season’s flu epidemic may be one of the worst on record if infections continue at the current rate.

Heading into the new year, the California Department of Public Health stated that influenza activity had reached “widespread” levels and was continuing to increase.

Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now estimates that so far this season there have been at least 9.7 million flu illnesses, 87,000 hospitalizations and 4,800 deaths from flu. Compare those numbers to the 171.7 million doses of flu vaccine that have been distributed, according to the CDC, which states: “The best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated every year.”

Me d i c a l D i re c t o r o f Ho s p i t a l Epidemiology at Cedars-Sinai Jonathan Grein, MD, told the Courier this week that the hospital had witnessed “a sharp uptick in influenza activity” over the last two to three weeks, which he said was in line with what's being reported nationally.

“It's still not too late to get the flu vaccine

PAGE 12

if you haven't already, since peak flu activity may last for several more weeks and the season could last for several more months,” he said. “If you do develop flu symptoms, stay at home to rest and don't come into work, which will help to prevent spreading it to others.”

In addition to getting vaccinated each year, to prevent contracting the seasonal flu the CDC recommends an array of good health habits, such as washing your hands, to help stop the spread of germs. Other recommendations include: avoid close contact with people who are sick; stay home when sick; cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth; clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces; and practice self-care, making sure to get plenty of sleep, fluids, nutritious foods, and physical activity.

“Most people who get the flu will recover on their own at home, but call your doctor if you have other medical conditions, such as heart disease or a weakened immune system, which can increase your risk of flu-related complications,” Dr. Grein advised.

Cedars in general recommends rest and taking a Tylenol as a home-remedy for the

flu. If more serious symptoms develop, then you should seek medical attention immediately.

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is now cautioning families to be vigilant when

it comes to taking “natural” supplements, emphasizing that over-the-counter supplements claiming to reduce flu symptoms can be especially dangerous for children.

NEWS

(Log Cabin continued from page 1) According to the Jan. 13 joint statement from the two cities, a recent Beverly Hills audit revealed that there was no lease in place with the current tenant, and a contractor had “found portions of the building in poor condition.” On Jan. 10, the City of Beverly Hills sent a letter to the Lion’s Club of West Hollywood, demanding that they “remove the improvements and vacate the leased premises by March 31, 2020."

The news was met with negative reaction on social media and local news sites in West Hollywood. An online petition started by Brent Bolthouse, the founder of The Bungalow Hospitality Group, has gathered nearly 9,000 signatures as of press time. Bolthouse, who has been sober for 33 years, is rallying the community and speaking out publicly about his own experience with addiction. Bolthouse credits the Log Cabin as instrumental to his sobriety.

“Tens of thousands of people have been helped by the 12-step meetings at the Log Cabin on North Robertson Boulevard over the past four decades; these meetings are a vital resource for the West Hollywood and greater Los Angeles sober community,” said West Hollywood Mayor John D’Amico in the Jan. 13 joint statement.

West Hollywood is conducting its own audit of the building’s condition. D'Amico told the Courier that there has never been any code violation issued by West Hollywood against the building. Nonetheless, Beverly Hills City Manager George Chavez noted in the Jan. 13 joint statement, "our concern is the safety of those within the building."

“Safety” is a relative term, considering

JAN. 17, 2020

the role the building has played in the lives of countless individuals in recovery. The Courier spoke on background with an addiction specialist with nearly 30 years of experience who lead a daily group A.A. meeting at the Log Cabin for five years. “I've seen people come in there naked. I've seen people come in there in just the worst shape and turn their lives around. It's a miracle. The top Hollywood people have all gone there. I sat with Academy Award-winning actors and actresses who would be sitting next to a guy who got off of a bus or lived under a building. So, there's no bias there. There's no other place like that.”

The President of the Lions Club, Gyula Kangiszer, told the Courier, “I feel that many people would say miracles happened here.

They think about this almost like a church. I can’t tell you how much encouragement and support individuals get from the notion that others were cured in this building.”

A prominent West Hollywood businessperson who spoke to the Courier on condition of anonymity, observed that the situation is charged with emotion. "This caught everyone off guard. No one knew that Beverly Hills owned the property or that no rent had been paid. But, this might be an opportunity to see if there is a better location that can serve the community with the great work being done at the Log Cabin."

In the meantime, the City of Beverly Hills has offered to provide alternative meeting locations for the Lions Club and other organizations that utilize the facility and the City of West Hollywood is exploring options that support the ongoing use and the availability of community and recovery meetings.

Food & Wine The "Too Hot Tamales" Return to Santa Monica

BY CAROLE DIXON

Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger Photos by Anne Fishbein For close to four decades, gregarious and tireless award-winning chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger have taught us how to love regional Mexican flavors from their multiple restaurant concepts, six cookbooks and over 400 episodes of the Food Network’s “Too Hot Tamales.” For 27 years, the westside flocked to their bold and festive Border Grill restaurant for modern south-of-the-border fare and inventive tequila concoctions. After closing that westside staple three years ago, the ladies are finally back “home” with a new concept that culminates everything they love about SoCal plus their passion for Mexican food.

From coffee to cocktails, Socalo is an all-day Southern California canteen and Mexican pub in the Gateway hotel in Santa Monica. Yes, you can find tacos from jackfruit tinga to chicken, but also breakfast empanadas with guava cheese, potato or “impossible” chorizo and large format Baja seafood platters for dinner. And, if you are missing the talented duos green corn tamales from Border Grill, you might just be in luck at some point in the near future.

Beverly Hills Courier: Welcome back to Santa Monica! How does it feel the second

time around?

Mary Sue Milliken: I had no idea we had this much goodwill,but after 27 years of serving food to a community, it makes sense, I just didn’t put it all together. Every table has a story about a family event, first date, [there are] constantly stories that connect us to the community which is really fun.

Susan Feniger: It has made the long hours feel pretty exciting. So many people that we haven’t seen in years. This location feels like there is so much demand for a place to go and hang-out for coffee in the morning, sit with your computer or come in for happy hour and have a great cocktail. It feels like this is an underserved area. Over all these years, even when we opened Border Grill on 4th Street, we tend to get drawn into areas that aren’t yet developed. In this case, it seems exciting.

Have you brought any old favorites back from Border Grill? Or is this an entirely different menu?

SF: We have really tried to keep this menu SoCal farmer’s market current focused. Our beverage program has been very focused on tap beers from small micro-breweries in Mexico, our whole wine list has been

researched from drinking down there.

MSM: I have been on the spirits! Drinking the mezcals and tequilas down in Mexico.

We opened our first Border Grill in 1985, and the menu has been developing and evolving ever since. It’s never standing still. I think you need to constantly be innovating and coming up with new ideas. Plenty of customers have said, ‘are you really not going to have the green corn tamales?’ and I’ve said, ‘yeah, we are really not.’ We finally got away from them.

SF: That is the one dish that I have had exactly the same response out of all the dishes which is so interesting because that has been on the menu from day one.

MSM: Maybe we could incorporate it in another way like maybe with the cochinita pibil?

SF: We’ve done it for events that way.

We’ve opened the green corn tamale and

topped it with the cochinita pibil or we could top it with the lamb birria with the mint jalapeno. Maybe for happy hour?

MSM: This is like the 2.O – we have the freedom to incorporate more Southern California tastes. We have a poke on one of the ceviches. We really have a different take on it.

What are some of the new favorites so far?

MSM/SF: The cauliflower is a huge hit and the lamb birria which was very surprising.

SF: Vampiro taco with steak and shrimp is a big seller. Huevos ranchero for breakfast and empanada in the morning. People come in and buy a dozen.

It seems that Vegan dishes are on everyone’s mind lately and there are a lot of wonderful vegetable dishes on the menu - the cauliflower is addictive. Can you describe how it’s made?

Baja Seafood Platter SF: We take raw cauliflower and sear it in really hot olive oil so it starts to brown almost immediately. We have a puree with roasted garlic with orange and lime juice and a little chipotle. That is all roasted and finished with fresh lime juice, then topped with little Cotija cheese.

You were both ahead of your time with sustainable seafood practices. Can you tell us how that is utilized in your kitchens and menus today?

MSM: We took swordfish and Chilean seabass off the menu back in the 90s because our eyes were opened by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Not only the state of the oceans, but also the impact that chefs have. Eightypercent of seafood that is consumed in this country is outside of the home. A chef is making the decision about buying it or not buying it. We have been on that path and MBA has been an incredible partner. They have a great website and are always there if you need something. We are still very careful about using sustainable tuna in ceviche; Baja seabass and oysters with filter feeders from the ocean and sustainably caught U.S. wild shrimp. We are continuing that commitment

to sustainability, and not only that but the rice and beans are organic and many of the vegetables. The meats are grown without antibiotics. Each year we try to take on another sustainable practice.

How has the restaurant industry changed since you first hit the scene and had your first Food Network Show?

SF: From when we started the number of farmers markets around the city compared to 38 years ago [has increased.] The availability and access to markets all over the city have made chefs more likely to visit and shop at the markets then when we started. The demand for sustainability and restaurants that are aware of the environment, gluten free, and vegetarian is way broader. Things have shifted in a dramatic way. Before you had to try and find that vegetarian restaurant. That is a clear change that has happened.

MSM: Everything is more complex with the internet and information explosion you can find out so much more about your ingredients. It used to be you’d call your purveyor and order only one kind of chicken. Now there is free-range, organic,

Day of the Dead cocktail PAGE 14

JAN. 17, 2020

salted or non-salted. Its crazy the amount of ways you can buy a chicken.

SF: No question the demand on the beverage program from when we opened CITY [in the 80's] we put our first margarita on the menu. We were using Chinaco tequila and I called it Chinac-out. People were blown away because we were squeezing fresh lime juice. Back then it was so unusual but now you wouldn’t even think about not having it. Now every restaurant, pretty much, has a great margarita.

MSM: Back in those days people would make margaritas, even at home, by getting frozen lime-aide at the grocery store and Jose Cuervo. It’s changed 180 degrees.

SF: People that never drank tequila and mezcal are now sipping them similar to a great scotch. People are desiring a more varied experience and the cocktails themselves, as we know mixology, has become a huge thing from 25 years ago.

MSM: What has really changed is chefs are rock stars. Our profession has actually become professional where it used to be the bottom of the barrel. Nobody looked upon working in the restaurant business or being a chef as being the hip, cool, thing to do, or even very respected. When I decided to become a chef, my mom said, ‘you might as well become an auto-mechanic.’ Now they have television shows and are actually leaders and having an impact. That has been an exciting part of our journey, but it’s also made the industry harder. There is a terrible lack of staff to hire. It’s hard to find the right people and good employees with the right kind of work ethic.

What advice would you give a young restaurateur today?

MSM: That hasn’t changed. We would tell them to go get a job in a restaurant for a couple of years. It’s a profession that chooses you. If it’s the one thing that makes you so happy that it doesn’t feel like you’re at work all day every day, and it’s the thing that you love to do most. If not, then it’s not the right profession for you.

SF: We always encourage people to experience it from being a dishwasher on up through prep and on the line and really understand the amount of hours and pressure that it takes – and getting burned. If then you still love it and you have learned with a well-rounded experience – that is so important before you go and open your own place. Food Network has shifted that over the years. Someone gets a show and becomes hot, then they think they are ready to open their own restaurant, Its very misleading.

Sometimes that can work but the business is so challenging for so many reasons, it’s not just being a good chef. It’s about being a good leader, someone who inspires and motivates people. That’s a lot for someone who doesn’t have the experience yet.

Where do you like to go when you’re not working? Any guilty pleasures?

MSM: We are opposite in that way. I like to stay home and cook. I hardly ever go out.

I love to be at home. If I do go out, it’s for Asian food, but I love to stay at home and have people over. I just like to be at home and even reading the newspaper is a luxury these days.

SF: You go to so many more places than me! I’ve had so many years of working nights.

Over the years I’m used to meeting [partner] Liz at 9:30 or 10 p.m. to get a bite. Part of that is to have a drink and not spend time

Socalo Patio Photo by Luke Gibson preparing. That has become a pattern over the years. When I’m off and can go to the market, I love to have people over. It’s mixed for me. Sometimes I just want to get home, curl up, watch Rachel Maddow and make a big bowl of popcorn at 11 p.m., that's a perfect dinner.

I know you are both traveling and involved in so many amazing charities and events year-round. What’s next for you ladies?

MSM: I’m going Egypt and India for a Border Grill pop-up in Mumbai and working with school feeding programs like here [in L.A.] with Share Our Strength [No Kid Hungry]. They are starting to look at global child hunger and share best practices around feeding school programs. I don’t want to leave, I’m having so much fun at Socalo but

when I booked this trip, we were going to open in June, but I know Susan can handle it.

SF: BBQ Mexicana is opening up at LAX over the summer in the new mid-way terminal and it’s the second season of BBQ Mexicana in Las Vegas at the Howard Hughes baseball stadium. In March, we just started a culinary program at the LA LGBT Center. It’s a 12-week program for seniors and youth which includes an externship and [in some cases] placement in restaurants. We just launched the coffee shop at the corner of McCadden place and Santa Monica Boulevard and it’s open to the public. The kids can learn to become a Barista and we will be doing food to go. Then we have Simply Divine – our fundraiser for the LGBT Center in the spring at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I feel like Mary Sue and I are pretty busy right now.

Josiah Citrin Reopens Melisse with New Concept

BY CAROLE DIXON

Another beloved Santa Monica concept and Michelin-starred chef is back in Santa Monica. Chef Josiah Citrin has taken his former Melisse space at Wilshire and 11th (which closed almost a year ago after a 20-year-run and several stars), to reopen as Citrin – an ala carte dining menu bistro and a petit version of fine-dining Melisse with a 14-seat tasting menu.

With the sleek and modern remodel of the space, you now enter right into a long 22-seat bar which just added an impressive happy hour called Evening Glass Off—a nod to the chef ’s love of surfing. Every Tuesday through Sunday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the approachable menu features mini-versions of iconic dishes – think lobster Bolognese capped in a truffle froth, and new standouts such as chestnut agnolotti with date, orange, cognac, and sage. While many of the bar dishes are on the regular menu offerings, exclusive to the happy hour menu is a Melisse burger ($10) and all the cocktails Citrin Oyster, Fermented Cucumber, Roe, Celtuce, Green Apple, Creme Anglaise Sauce JAN. 17, 2020

(named after songs) from the main menu are just $10 with select wines by the glass at the same price point. After a few appetizers, you can venture into the dining room and start with an order of basil brioche buns before moving onto the chef’s classic egg caviar dish from the former incarnation which is back by popular demand. Some things should never change.

HE ALTH AND WELLNESS

(Flu continued from page 12) One of the most recent such home remedies to make headlines, which CHLA advises against taking, is elderberry syrup. Derived from the elderberry plant and commonly found in “natural” over-the-counter supplements, the syrup is marketed to treat or lessen the effects of cold and flu symptoms.

“The word remedy is typically a red flag for doctors. It’s not a medical term,” explained Dr. Michael Smit, Medical Director of Infection Prevention and Control at CHLA. “With remedies, we often don’t know what’s

inside of them. And in the case of elderberry, some users have unknowingly ingested cyanide—a poisonous chemical that can be deadly.”

CHLA Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Vikram Arnand recommended using honey to soothe a sore throat, either taking it on its own or putting it in a warm tea.

“Sleep. Lots and lots of sleep and staying hydrated should help you feel better sooner,” said Dr. Anand.

BY HOLIDAY MATIS

Dear Editor, As I read about the armed robbery on the 300 block of North Canon, I am compelled to write about the crime that is happening in the city of Beverly Hills in the last few years.

One of the biggest reasons why we moved to Beverly Hills about 25 years ago was for their public services-police, fire and other emergency services. We moved a few years after the Rodney King riots when I heard the statistics of how many police patrols there were in the city of Los Angeles which was not many. We figured that the City of Beverly Hills is only about six square miles, it has to be safer with better city services.

My parents had lived in Beverly Hills during the riots and said that they never felt safer.

Well, things have changed. We hear of

so many break-ins in the flats-our next door neighbor was a victim and so many others in our vicinity. Residents have been robbed at gunpoint. There have been numerous smash and grabs at luxury retail stores. Mailboxes have been broken into. I personally had a check stolen from a city mailbox or from inside the post office. The payee had been changed and someone tried to deposit it. It was a five-figure check that was made out to a credit card company. Some victims have been told that the perpetrators would never be caught or charged. Personally, I don’t think the BH police should ever say that to the victims of crimes. Makes you wonder what the attitude and morale is in the BHPD. One thing I can say for sure is that I never see a BH police car cruising around my neighborhood. I think police presence

Help for Australia’s Fires I am a resident of Beverly Hills and a board member of global green international. We are one of the few organizations that actually has boots on the ground in Australia helping with the wildlife and reforestation there. We started a campaign to rebuild Australia’s wildlife habitats Global greens $1=1 tree #eyesonaustralia campaignAnd would love help spreading the word.

Readers can get involved by donating and sharing the $1=1 tree #eyesonaustralia GoFundMe campaign. I have attached the link below https://bit.ly/2sVKii6

would make a huge difference in deterrence of possible crimes. Whether in a patrol car, bikes, Segways or on foot, if there is a visible police presence it should lead to less crime.

After hearing that the city spent an exorbitant amount of money to kick off their Holiday Celebration on Rodeo Drive, I question the city’s leadership on how our taxes are spent.

I am getting mail from City Council and mayoral candidates and I am noticing that crime and safety does not seem to be a priority for them. Once the subway is completed, I am wondering if crime will increase. How is the city preparing for this possible influx of people along with the crime?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY ( Jan. 17). Truly, this solar journey will be a wild ride. Competition heats up for you. Though it seems counterintuitive to sportsmanship, you approach it with compassion and a sincere desire to learn as much from the game as possible, which enhances your position and makes possible so much more than you dreamed.

Libra and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 15, 37 and 9.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll consider carefully the expenditure of investments in all currencies, the least significant being money. Money can be made, whereas once you spend time, you can never get it back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The new deal you come up with will be totally free of old baggage and will have the best chance of blossoming into results that satisfy all parties and promote goodness in the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To give someone what they weren’t expecting and didn’t ask for is a chance to blow someone’s mind -- or annoy them. Either way, it’s a risk that you might just be daring (or bored) enough to find worthwhile.

CANCER ( June 22-July 22). Honor the instinct to conserve your energy. Probably, you sense that this drama swirl just isn’t worthy of your engagement. Also, there’s something exciting on the horizon that you’ll want to be ready for.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22). Communication will be complicated. It’s not so easy to express the emotions that come up -- yet you’ll feel compelled to. This could be the perfect storm from which comes great art.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re an expert, and this is just the beginning of what you’ll become. Here comes a scenario you’re overqualified to deal with, and yet solutions elude you. It’s an opportunity to cast your net wider.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you talk off of the top of your head and it doesn’t come out the way you want it to. But most people hear your intentions and your heart.

Either that or they hear what they want to hear, which you can’t control anyway.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Why bother integrating your mind and body? Because any division that exists here cuts you off from your joy. Happiness requires both your body’s vital presence and your mind’s consciousness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To go for the short-term gain will be a mistake in the long run. The mature choice seems less appealing, but the immature one will be embarrassing in retrospect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is an island within you where you can take refuge, where peace, love and freedom exist in perpetuity. You don’t have to wait until things get difficult to go there.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18). We each carry indelible marks of lineage, especially our spiritual lineage. There’s no need to worry about what happened in a past life.

This one has been full of lessons. You’ll apply one in particular today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your powers of concentration will be exceptional today.

Wield this well to digest weighty and complex matters. You really could come up with the world’s most unique answer.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On 01/28/2020 at 10:00 A.M., First American Title Insurance Company, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 04/19/2016, as Instrument No. 20160436287, in book , page , , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of LOS ANGELES County, State of California. Executed by: FALLAH ALFALLAH, A MARRIED MAN, AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY., WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK/ CASH EQUIVALENT or other form of payment authorized by 2924h(b), (Payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States) Behind the fountain located in Civic

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $ 3,952,070.64.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust has deposited all documents evidencing the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust and has declared all sums secured thereby immediately due and payable, and has caused a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be executed. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are

encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search. nationwideposting.com/ propertySearchTerms. aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1900285705 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

uses, and reduce fees for restaurant uses.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS EXTENDING U R G E N C Y ORDINANCE NO. 19-O-2796 AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE IN LIEU PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND PARKING STANDARDS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF

Section 2. Authority.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

Legislative Findings.

The City Council of the City of Beverly Hills is concerned that, as a result of recent shifts in the retail sector towards online sales and the changing nature of commercial uses, the character of the City’s commercial and shopping districts is in jeopardy.

Of particular concern is the fact that the City’s regulations affecting restaurant uses, including (1) parking requirements for restaurants with bar and dining areas larger than 1,000 square feet and (2) in lieu parking eligibility criteria and rates, have acted as barriers to entry for restaurants seeking to locate within the City. Barring immediate changes to those regulations, the City will not be able to attract the quality and quantity of restaurant uses that are necessary to maintain the economic vitality and sustainability of its commercial and shopping districts.

Any vacant storefronts and associated blight resulting from declining restaurant uses would create significant risk to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the City. As such, the City Council wishes to consider permanent changes to parking regulations affecting restaurant uses.

Because the public process of adopting permanent regulations may be lengthy, and to prevent the decline of the City’s commercial and shopping districts in the intervening period, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 19-O-2796, an interim ordinance that took effect immediately on December 10, 2019, (the “Interim Ordinance”).

The Interim Ordinance changes parking space requirements for restaurant uses, and amends the in lieu parking program to exempt restaurant uses from property bulk and size limits, provide an expedited process for review of applications for restaurant JAN. 17, 2020

Pursuant to Government Code Section 36937(b), the City Council may adopt, as an urgency ordinance with immediate effect, a measure providing for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety. Further, on a separate and independent basis, Government Code 65858 authorizes the adoption of urgency measures for the immediate protection of the public safety, health, and general welfare, containing a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and passed by a minimum four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council.

The urgency of this Ordinance is declared in Section 3.

After public notice, the City Council may extend the interim ordinance by a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, pursuant to Government Code Sections 65858.

Notice of the public hearing at which the City Council considered adopting this extension ordinance was duly published on December 20, 2019 in the Beverly Hills Courier, and on December 26, 2019 in the Beverly Hills Weekly.

Section 3.

Urgency Findings.

The City Council finds and determines that failing to implement immediate changes to the parking requirements and in lieu parking program for restaurant uses would result in an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and general welfare. As described in Section 1, the City’s prior parking regulations discouraged restaurant uses, threatening the economic vitality and sustainability of the City’s commercial and shopping districts. In addition, any vacant storefronts and associated blight resulting from declining restaurant uses in these districts would place the public health, safety, and general welfare at risk during the Council’s review and consideration of permanent regulations. Thus, to preserve the public health, safety, and general welfare, the City Council declares it necessary that this Ordinance take immediate effect to prevent such harm.

Section 4.

CEQA Findings.

The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption and implementation of the Interim

Ordinance or extension thereof may have a significant effect on the environment. This extension of the Interim Ordinance does not authorize construction and, in fact, reduces the need for the creation of additional parking infrastructure in order to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. This extension is therefore exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Section 5.

Nonseverability.

If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the final decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, the entire Ordinance is void and of no further effect and the in lieu parking requirements in effect immediately before the effectiveness of this ordinance shall again become operative.

Section 6. Approval and Extension of Ordinance.

This Ordinance, adopted as an urgency measure for the immediate protection of the public safety, health, and general welfare, containing a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and passed by a minimum four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council, shall take effect immediately upon its adoption and shall amend and extend the effect of the Interim Ordinance for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. After notice pursuant to Section 65090 of the California Government Code and public hearing, the City Council may extend the effectiveness of the Interim Ordinance for an additional one year period, as provided in Government Code Section 65858.

Section 7. Publication.

The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance and her certification, together with proof of publication, to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the Council of this City.
