Brien And Krasne Drop The Ball On Oakhurst Appeal

By Victoria Talbot Residents of Beverly Hills lost their fight when the Beverly Hills City Council dropped the ball last week, giving an odious victory to Los Angeles that allows them to exert their authority over a building that lies partially within the Beverly Hills City limits. Opponents of the project have contacted The Courier in total shock that the City gave away its jurisdictional rights.

The outcome was a result of nay votes by Council members

Willie Brien and Nancy Krasne.

In the absence of Mayor Bosse (who was out on bereavement over the loss of her mother), the result was 2-2. With no clear majority, no action could be taken.

Brien was outraged that 5th District City Councilman Paul Koretz sent Noah Muhlstein, Koretz' Planning Deputy, to ask the City to appeal. "He should file the appeal," said Brien.

Krasne repeatedly said that the (see ‘OAKHURST’ page 10)

By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills Unified School District convened its first School Safety and Security Ad Hoc Committee Wednesday night in its latest attempt to cultivate an effective solution to keep the district’s 4,264 students safe. Currently, in addition to the BHUSD’s high school security detail, the five schools rely solely on the Beverly Hills Police Department.

From the onset of the of the 1.5-hour meeting, which included BHUSD and City leaders, in addition to parents, one student, school security and police, it quickly became clear that parents need to participate in the plan and then let the BHPD and BHUSD professionals implement it.

Police emphasized that an emergency situation requires planning and control and consistent implementation as the situation evolves.

BHPD insists that it is up to the task and that the school district does not need to spend money to hire a private security company to provide additional services.

Among the ideas proffered by police were to enable students by having designated student monitors with vests, in addition to installing panic buttons and ensuring the locking capacity of all classrooms.

Spurred on largely by nervous parents that the BHPD is sufficient to patrol the five Beverly Hills school campuses, the (see ‘SCHOOL SAFETY’ page 2)

Beverly Hills Elder: Marian Corday’s Six Decades In B.H. Part 24 in a series on Beverly Hills residents who have grown with the Centennial City.

By Laura Coleman At 96 years old, Beverly Hills resident Marian Corday has seen the world grow, change, widen and shrink. She has raised two children through the Beverly Hills school system, forged lifelong friendships with people who are mostly now gone from the earth, pioneered as a scientist in male-dominated era, and travelled the globe with her late husband of 58 years, Dr. Eliot Corday.

And since 1953, she has lived in the same family home in the flats of Beverly Hills.

“We had a very interesting life,” she said in a recent interview. “I just love Beverly Hills.

medicine, served as both a doctor to several U.S. presidents, as well as to the local community, where he was regarded for his kindness; and he would also do house calls. His pioneering work in cardiology and his research on acute care and coronary units galvanized him to established coronary care units through out the U.S. Internationally, Eliot was renowned for his research, leading to scores of teaching trips on which Marian often accompanied him.

“We knew most of the presidents of that era through one reason or another,” Marian said.

In addition to serving on the board for the L.A. Music and Arts School in Boyle Heights for 45 years, Marian was a member of the Music Center’s original Blue Ribbon Committee.

“We worked hard on things raising money,” she recalled. “We were very enthusiastic. It was very special.”

Also special, were the beautiful memories of her life with her family and husband in Beverly Hills.

“We loved Chasen’s, like everybody of our era” she recalled. “It was just lovely. You usually saw the same people; that part was nice too...there was a charming maitre de...We’d dress beautifully...We enjoyed so much. It was magical.”

Born in Calgary, Alberta in 1918, the fifth of six children of general store-owning parents, Marian described her youth as “very good and very easy.”

She studied at the University of Alberta, earning her MA in biochemistry–one of the first women to do so.

“It was very nice to be the only girl with loads of engineer boys,” she recalled. “My mother was sure I was going to be the dean of some university.”

Eventually her life became intertwined with Eliot’s, a medical student studying at the university whom she met one night at a dance.

“Evidently he’d been waiting for me to come,”she said.

Five years later they were married in 1940.

When World War II broke out, her husband became a doctor in the Canadian Air Force, Wing Commander, initially travelling all over Canada to study aviation-related illness.

Marian worked at the university researching and publishing articles about Vitamin A in night blindness.

After the war, Eliot was offered a chance to head Air Medicine for all three Canadian service branches (Navy, Army, Air Force), but he turned it down. Instead, he moved to New York to do research at Mt. Sinai and Bellevue hospitals.

Six months later, Marian joined her husband along with their young daughter Joanne, who was born in 1944.

While researching and publishing at Mt. Sinai, Eliot

was offered a chance to work in the office of the leading cardiologist of the time, Arthur Master (famed for the Master 2step), but declined because it would have required locating the family into Manhattan.

Master, who recognized Eliot’s talent and knew there were limited research opportunities in Canada, stepped in to help shape his career.

“He contacted everyone and said: ‘I have this brilliant young man who needs to be in a special place where he can do research,’” Marian recalled.

“He got offers across the nation.”

The young couple set about visiting the leading facilities across the U.S. “The moment we got to the West Coast, we said, my goodness, we’ve been wasting our time. This is the place we need to be,” she said.

Initially, Eliot worked first at USC and then moved to UCLA once it opened, where he served as a clinical professor while also working at Cedars-Sinai, eventually serving for a time as president of the American College of Cardiology. Their second son, Stephen, who was born four years after his sister, is now a cardiologist at Cedars and counts some of his father’s former patients as his own.

“Beverly Hills, it really means a great deal,” Marian said. “It’s our Beverly Hills and been part of us since the time it was a little village.”

SCHOOL SAFETY (Continued from page 1)

Board of Education is moving forward in efforts to solicit bids to bring in additional armed guards for the district. There is no evidence that armed guards provide safer campuses.

Superintendent Gary Woods said that all 10 responses to its RFP for armed guards did not meet current district needs for highly trained individuals. The district is now soliciting an estimate for what it would cost for

BEVERLY HILLS the Los Angeles Unified School District to provide members of its school police force.

Woods said that a proposal by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department “is pretty darn expensive.” Last year, the BHUSD paid $880,000 for armed security guards through EBI, the private security company that subsequently failed to fulfill its contract with the district.

The next ad-hoc meeting is scheduled to take place on April 15.

Axelrod Predicts Clinton Vs. Bush In 2016, Says Politics Are Important

By Laura Coleman At the end of David Axelrod’s riveting conversation with NPR anchor Michel Martin on Tuesday night’s L.A. Library Foundation Aloud program at The Wallis in Beverly Hills, an audience member asked a rather poignant question of the political strategist who masterminded President Barack Obama’s historic election campaigns: You seem nice, but you’re a success in politics; how is that possible?

“It’s about creating a better future,” Axelrod said, underscoring that his new book released last week, Believer: My Forty Years in Politics, explains not just his story but why a job in the public arena is important.

“There was a sense that the election of Obama would be a panacea and there would be a change overnight,” he recalled of the historic election that for

the first time ever legitimized an African American man as the U.S. leader. “Our project was to try to stop the country from cascading into a second Great Depression, and we did that.”

The upcoming race for the White House is of course on everyone’s mind and Axelrod was not shy about predicting the future of American democracy: a 2016 presidential ticket that will come down to Sen. Hillary Clinton versus Gov. Jeb Bush. He also said it was not outside the realm of possibility that Elizabeth Warren could be a running mate for Clinton. “[Clinton] could be formidable,” he said, particularly if she makes prescriptions for economic challenges her cause and ties in her record. “She’s in a much stronger position today than she was in 2008.”

City Of Beverly Hills Receives $7.16 Million In Development Fees From Waldorf Astoria

By Victoria Talbot Developers of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, at the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards, presented two checks totaling $7.16 million in development fees Wednesday to the City of Beverly Hills and the Beverly Hills Unified School District.

This is the largest development fee ever rendered for a construction project in the history of Beverly Hills. The event was held at a gathering Wednesday at The Beverly

Hilton hosted by Beny Alagem.

The City of Beverly Hills received $5.5 million, including $500,000 for the Fine Arts fee and the Beverly Hills Unified School District received $1.66 million.

Wednesday’s event saw Mayor Lili Bosse, Vice Mayor Julian Gold at the podium for the honors. Former mayors Linda Briskman, Barry Brucker and Jimmy Delshad joined former mayors and council members Willie Brien and Nancy Krasne to receive acknowl-

edgement for their support of the project.

The process has taken over a decade from concept to permits. Construction has begun with a giant crane hung suspended behind the festive party, framed against a barren, fenced in an area that will soon become the City’s newest accomodations.

Berkman Wins Music Center Spotlight Award Grand Prize

By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills High School Sophomore and opera soprano Golda Berkman will perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall with the L.A. Philharmonic on March 31 after being selected as a Classical Voice Grand Prize winner for the Music Center’s Spotlight Awards.

“I was honestly thinking the most I’d get was an honorable mention because they never choose anyone so young,” the 15-year-old Golda said. It is the first time in the competition’s 27-year history that a student from BHHS has won what is considered to be the most prominent high school performing arts award

charge at the county-wide academic competition held on Saturday at the USC Galen Center, where the nine-member team earned a total of 53 medals.

“We’ll improve a lot between now and then,” said Dr. Phil Chase, who has coached the BHHS team for the past four years and said the team

has spent hundreds of hours becoming scholars and Renaissance people since beginning preparation last summer.

Raul Rodriguez, Designer Of Beverly Hills’ 2011 Winning Rose Parade Float Dies, At Age 71

By John L. Seitz Noted Rose Parade float designer Raul Rodriguez died Wednesday at age 71.

The Los Angeles’ native was born the day after New Year’s of 1944 and his career as a champion float maker began at 15, when his first Rose Parade float for the city of Whittier took home a trophy. He would go on to design some 500 floats, winning innumerable awards, one of which was the Beverly Hills’ entry in the 2011 parade which copped the Mayor’s Trophy as the “most outstanding” in the city category. It was said his reputation for designs was borne from months of research and executed with a stunning detail.

Rodriguez received a scholarship to the Art Center College of Design. After serving in the Army, he enrolled at CSU Long Beach, specializing in drawing, painting and illustration. Following his graduation, he worked for The Walt Disney Company before embarking on parade floats.

Funeral services will be held March 7 at 11 a.m. (rosary at 10 a.m.) in St. Andrew’s Church, 311 N. Raymond Ave. in Pasadena.

RAUL’S WORKS OF ART — Pictured above: Raul Rodriguez designed the City of Beverly Hills’ 2011 Rose Parade float “City of Dreams Come True”. That float won the 2011 Mayor’s Trophy.

City Council Seeks More Input on Tour Bus Activity

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills City Council listened intently to the Tour Bus Ad Hoc committee proposal to place vehicle weight limits on the Business Triangle that would prohibit most tour buses, and remove the weight limits from North Crescent Drive; change the route to hug the perimeter of the Triangle area, bringing buses to either the Third Street location or to the Crescent Drive metro cut-out location. This removal would increase the walking the walking distance substantially for tourist shoppers.

The Ad Hoc Committee was formed to address issues caused by tour buses. Reportedly, some of the complaints were without factual information, including lane measure-

ments, that larger coaches are too wide for narrow lanes on Rodeo Drive. Tour buses routinely stop mid-block to point out sites, impeding traffic; and some restaurants reportedly objected to idling near outdoor eating establishments in the Business Triangle. Another complaint, usually handled with headphone attachments, is that tour guides can be noisy.

Missing were comments from Mark Tronstein, president of the Rodeo Drive Committee and Alex Stettinski, executive director of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, said the Council. The two organizations represent many of the affected businesses. “ The chamber recognizes the importance of tourism to the City and also recognizes the impact tour buses have on (see ‘TOUR BUSES’ page 16)

ELECTRIC FOUNTAIN — Join the Friends of Beverly Gardens Park Wednesday at the intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards at 2 p.m. for a groundbreaking ceremony for the Electric Fountain. Thanks to generous donations from members of the Beverly Hills community, and others across the Southland, the City is poised to complete renovation on the Electric Fountain, which will cost $1.945 million. Friends of Beverly Gardens Park is a public-private partnership formed for the restoration of the parks.

Board Eyes Raising Property Taxes In Effort To Stay On Target With Measure E School Building

By Laura Coleman As early as Tuesday, the Board of Education could give direction to move forward with raising the City’s property tax rate in an effort to issue sufficient Measure E bonds to continue its current school-building expansion effort.

“We need to either issue another bond or go into a holding pattern,” BHUSD facilities consultant Tim Buresh said at Tuesday night’s Measure E Study Session. Buresh, who has been instrumental in developing the school district’s building project, estimated a possi-

ble 30 percent budget swing if the district adopts a holding pattern.

“We’ve had the impression that Measure E would materialize,” he added.

Financial analysts for the district predict the City stands to save roughly $1.5 billion over the long haul if it continues on its current path toward school renovation, whereas opponents say that accelerating the payback rate undermines a promise to voters that property taxes would not be raised when the $334 million school building bond was originally

passed in 2008.

A year-and-a-half ago the board voted to accelerate the bond’s payback rate and subsequently directed the county assessor that the district could issue up to $95 million in bond sales for the 2013/14 tax year.

The 2013 4-1 vote (which took place when Jake Manaster was president with current Board President Brian Goldberg voting no) also called for a replacement ballot measure to be brought to voters, in addition to more than doubling the assessed value property tax rate (see ‘MEASURE E’ page 15)

Jury Selection For Christiansen vs. Beverly Hills Unified School District Begins Wednesday

By Laura Coleman Jury selection is set to begin Wednesday in the case of Strategic Concepts and Karen Christiansen vs. Beverly Hills Unified School District at 8:30 a.m. before Judge Stephen Czuleger in Dept. 3 at L.A. Superior Court.

Former BHUSD project manager Karen Christiansen sued the district for relief and damages alleging breach of

contract last year; whereupon the district subsequently filed a cross-complaint that its former employee was paid money she was not entitled to receive. The case was delayed last October, following a decision by the California Franchise Tax Board to suspend Christiansen’s LLC until it paid its taxes.

BHUSD’s attorney on the case Fred Fenster, partner with Greenberg Glusker, estimated

that opening statements could begin as early as that afternoon.

In 2012, Christiansen was prosecuted by the L.A. district attorney and fined $3.5 million after a jury convicted her of violating a California criminal statute that prohibits public officials from entering into contracts that benefit them personally. That conviction was subsequently reversed on appeal.

ASH WEDNESDAY ON RODEO DRIVE– In a modern and local twist on Ash Wednesday, two deacons from a pair of the City’s faith communities took their show on the road – Rodeo Drive, that is!

Deacon Scott Taylor (left) of All Saints and Deacon Eric Stoltz (right)of the Good Shepherd provided ashes to about 100 people at Two Rodeo Wednesday during the lunch hour. Distribution of the ashes is not limited to congregants; in fact, the faithful are encouraged to provide ashes to others. “Drive-Thru” ashes were reported throughout the country. Such distribution is suggested by the church as part of the “Ashes to Go” program. In Beverly Hills, ashes were distributed on the Walk of Style.

Every 15 Minutes Returns To BHHS In Effort To Help Teens Not Drink And Drive

By Laura Coleman On Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m., Beverly Hills High School will host a haunting program to help students understand the potentially devastating effects of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The school district will present the nationally recognized program, “Every 15 Minutes,” in conjunction with the Beverly Hills police and fire departments for the fourth time.

At Thursday morning presentation, the entire BHHS student body will sit in bleachers along the front lawn in anticipation of a harrowing accident scene where spectators will come to recognize 24 classmates, acting in make-up, some “dead,” others with injuries as the living scene enfolds. The student spectators will then watch as officers from the Police and Fire Departments arrive, treating some, placing another in a bodybag,

arresting the driver, and transporting the surviving victims to the hospital.

The entire select group will follow the student who was arrested as he is booked by a judge. Then, the group will spend the evening in a hotel where they will speak with a counselor.

The program is sponsored by the community including Rotary, the PTA, local merchants, the Maple Counseling Center.

Beverly Hills’ Leeza Gibbons Wins ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’

By Matt Lopez Billionaire development mogul Donald Trump named Beverly Hills resident Leeza Gibbons his winning “Celebrity Apprentice” on Monday night during the show’s star-studded finale on NBC. The show pits celebrities against each other in different business and fundraising tasks, with each celebrity participating on behalf of a charity of their choice.

Gibbons, an Emmy-winner of Entertainment Tonight and former daytime talk show Leeza fame, bested legendary news reporter Geraldo Rivera in the show’s finale.

Gibbons played on behalf of Leeza’s Care Connection (www.leezascareconnection.or g), which provides support programs and services for family caregivers. She raised a total of $714,000 for the charity on the

show. The cause is one near and dear to Gibbons’ heart after helping her mother fight Alzheimer’s disease.

“This is a victory for family caregivers everywhere. I am honored to represent all those courageous caregivers who walk a difficult path everyday,” Gibbons told The Courier. “The win felt like a personal victory of the promise I made to my mom to use her story of Alzheimer’s disease to help others. It’s a promise I am fortunate to deliver on every day at our location in Burbank at Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center.”

ong regarded as The Sage From South Central, Larry was discovered and embraced by political junkies fiddling around with their car radio dials while motoring around Southern California.

His keen perceptions and devastating analyses of the global arena, insane as it often is, are fascinating and legendary.

Especially for those thousands who hunger for a relief/break from Tinsel Town’s arch and unforgiving “limousine liberals.” Larry’s broadcasts proved to be refreshing tonics, comforting, and surprising with their unexpected twists concerning the politics of deception. Not to be missed.

P

And diehard fans like Marian Mann also were privileged to get to know his “chief justice” mom Viola Conley Elder, now lamented, who presided over Larry’s Friday afternoon “court.” Blessed Viola wowed his loyal listeners (many of the bewildered “closet” conservatives variety) with her polite yet fearless “slapdowns” on what masquerades as truths within those hallowed dark halls of Congress and Capitol Hill. Viola is deeply missed, and remembered as an American woman of profound depth.

Los

Angeles-born Larry (1952) graduated from Brown University, earned his J.D. in 1977 from the University of Michigan Law School, gained national respect and prominence as a young attorney in Cleveland. In time, he achieved star status as host of The Larry Elder Show, winning awards, and amassing an enviable following weekdays with his then 3-7 PM nationally

syndicated broadcasts for several decades.

His dad Randolph owned a snack shop in South Central, with Larry claiming he’s never known “a tougher life than Randolph’s … never hated, never bitter, never condemned his circumstances, believing there are very few problems that cannot be solved through hard work.”

developers had “played by the rules” and shouldn't be inconvenienced, despite the fact that there is a book full of official filings of violations against them, not least among them boarding up of the entire structure while rent-paying tenants resided behind the boarded windows.

Krasne and Brien were skeptical about any historic preservation efforts, as well, although that was not the purview of this hearing. The only issue on the table was whether or not to appeal a decision by the Los Angeles Planning Department that will affect the lives of citizens in Beverly Hills. The building faces into the City and the residents live in Beverly Hills.

In a special meeting last week called by Councilmember John Mirisch and chaired

by Vice Mayor Julian Gold in Mayor Lili Bosse's absence, the council split 2-2. The lack of direction in the tied vote meant that there was no direction to appeal; hence no action was taken. No appeal was made.

The deadline for an appeal on the 31-unit apartment building was Friday, Feb. 13. The absence of an appeal means that the project is set to go

forth. Residents have expressed absolute shock. Neighbors filed their own appeal, though the West Los Angeles Planning Commission does not have to recognize it.

“The non-decision is an embarrassment to all of Beverly Hills and even L.A. residents,” wrote Woodrow Clark III, Ph.D. “The report is full of false and misleading information as well as totally ignoring or respecting the Beverly Hills planning and government process. For L.A. City Councilmember Koretz to send his planning deputy to testify is evidence that there is something seriously wrong with this report. I am in shock.”

The City's decision means that it has abdicated its opportunity to request an EIR, which, according to Adrian Scott Fine of the Los Angeles Conservancy, “is clearly warranted in this case as historic resources are significantly impacted by the proposed project. Substantial evidence has been presented that demonstrates that these buildings contribute to a potential historic district, therefore there is a need to consider preservation alternatives.”

The only alternative left is for the Beverly Hills planning commission to deny a demolition permit or a protracted law suit, which may materialize.

2015 Design Awards Given to Three Outstanding Local Homes for New Construction and Remodel THREE BEAUTIES –- The Beverly Hills Design Review Commission recognized three singlefamily home designs this week based on exterior appearance, quality of materials, mass and scale, landscaping and compatibility with the streetscape.

The Design Awards recognized homes in two categories- New Construction and Remodel, and are awarded about every three years. All the homes have been completed since 2011.

Commercial and multi-family architectural awards are in consideration by the Beverly Hills Architectural Commission to be awarded in April or May.

The Nosh’s Ron Magnin Honored By IBD Support Foundation At Inspiration Dinner Beverly Hills restaurateur Ronald I. Magnin was recently honored at the Evening of Inspiration dinner in The Beverly Hilton, hosted by the non-profit IBD Support Foundation (www.ibdsf. org).

“I have been involved with the foundation for several years and after having a series of personal health issues and surgeries myself, I appreciate its providing psycho-social support and education to individuals and families affected by Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis (together known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease), which currently affects more than 1 million Americans,” said Magnin. “Along with my mother Gayle Leventhal and my friend Jackie Kay, the foundation was an invaluable support system to me.

Born in San Francisco on April 22, 1964, Magnin came to Beverly Hills at an early age and attended Hawthorne School, Beverly Hills High School (class of 1982) and San Diego State before graduating from the University of Southern California.

After first spending several months working for the Sea Legs chain, Magnin determined that operating restaurants would be his career path which it has been for the past quarter century.

Locally, he owned Wok Fast, Daily Wrap and Azia before purchasing the legendary Nosh of Beverly Hills which this spring will celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Marci Reiss, IBDSF president, with Ron Magnin

“I love the restaurant business and the ability to interact with old and new customers on a daily basis and attempt to constantly provide healthy, organic cuisine to our clientele at the Nosh,” he stated.

Magnin is the father of a daughter Anna (16) and son Willy (13), both attending BHUSD schools. His father, Jerry, is chairman of the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts while his late grandfather, Cyril, nicknamed “Mr. San Francisco,” was former CEO/chairman of the Joseph Magnin department stores.

The Normans hit the road and came home with a convincing 70-35 victory over Culver City, with three players scoring in double figures.

the area. The Chamber’s effort is to find a solution that mutually benefits all parties,” Stettinski told The Courier.

He did not comment on the revenue produced by tourists which allows lower taxation for residents.

The City Council also asked that Staff conduct outreach to the approximately 450 multi-family residential homes that line the east side of No. Crescent Drive. The proposal would move the tour buses into the northbound lane in front of their homes on a one-lane street with a bicycle lane.

It was also recommended that the loading zone on Third Street be substantially upgraded to provide a welcoming atmosphere to tourists and bus drivers. Currently there is little to recommend the area, a fact that was brought into sharp contrast with the South Coast Plaza stops. Tour bus companies receive remunerations in addition to a lounge area constructed for welcoming the buses.

Tour bus contributions have a substantial impact on tourism dollars said Julie Wagner, president and CEO of the Beverly Hills Convention and Visitors Bureau, who objected

to the plan.

Wagner pointed out that the distance from the Triangle is problematic for many. Tour buses provide the visitor with an overview of the area so they can return later to targeted destinations. They also deliver tours in native languages, often the first experience international travelers have with the City.

Mayor Lili Bosse said that phone calls she had received were not in favor of the plan to keep the buses out of the triangle.

“Tour buses are part of the Beverly Hills experience.

Everybody that travels here deserves to have that, whether it be a tour bus or a limousine,” said Tom Blumenthal, CEO of GEARYS and past president of the Rodeo Drive Committee and Chamber of Commerce “The first time I go to any city, I always take one for an overview, then circle back to what I want to see.”

An alternative plan would allow for stops at the Montage Hotel and behind Two Rodeo Drive.

The Ad Hoc committee, said Brien, had come prepared with a suggestion with the intention of clarifying if the committee was going in the right direction.

Nothing will be advanced

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT

until the Council receives a poll of those organizations and outreach to the stakeholders.

A visitor profile of the FY2013-14 presented by Wagner, gave a more complete snapshot of tourism in Beverly Hills.

- Tour buses constitute 24 percent of the visitors who spend an average of $137 per person in their 2-hour visits.

- Since 2007, the total annual visitor volume has increased 24 percent to 6 million.

- Tax revenue has increased 36 percent, with $35 million in transient occupancy taxes and $12 million in sales tax - Visitors were 63 percent international and 37 percent domestic, compared to 42 percent and 58 percent respectively, in 2007 - 94 percent were day visits (93 percent in 2007) - Five percent of visitors stayed at the City’s hotels and represent 46 percent (compared to four percent and 38 percent in 2007) of the total visitor spend - Hotel guests averaged $632 per day in spending (vs. $533 in 2007) - Visitors spend an average of $236 per day, vs. $220 in 2007

French Anti-Aging Expert Brings SkinWave Technology to Beverly Hills kinWave, called “ t h e future of skin care,” and a breakthrough new anti-aging procedure, has come to Beverly Hills.

George Zaoui, French entrepreneur and founder of the SkinWave procedure and Institute, certified and FDA-approved, launched the first U.S location at 222 N. Cañon Dr., Suite 202.

To celebrate its grand opening, the company is offering five sessions for the price of four for the revolutionary procedure that uses acousticwave treatment with a special facial applicator that remodels the silhouette contour. Skin is left looking younger and brighter.

Those who attend the Beverly Hills Health & Wellness Expo, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Sunday at the Roxbury Park Community Center, will be able to experience a mini demonstration.

SkinWave has imported a noninvasive and painless procedure that lifts, tones, rejuvenates and revitalizes the skin. It is 100 percent natural, with no side effects, says Zaoui.

The unique treatment improves skin elasticity by strengthening the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, “This is a powerful facial treatment that enhances and refines your

S

skin texture by deep, yet gentle SkinWave massage,” adds Zaoui.

“Fine lines are minimized with targeted mechanical energy for superior results.” Based on bio-stimulation, SkinWave is a mechanical type of energy that can release a large amount of energy in a short amount of time and which infiltrates the tissues slowly. There is no thermal effect and no cellular degradation.

There are no injections. no creams and no surgery. SkinWave can efficiently treat cellulite, sagging tissues and stretch marks.

On the face, this technique promotes a better blood circulation and a better plasticity of the connective tissue. Collagen production is stimulated and both the dermis and epidermis are reinforced.

Upon the end of the treatment, the connective tissue has recovered its original elasticity. Results are visible and durable.

Thanks to SkinWave treatment, the metabolic activity of the tissues is enhanced, which leads to a better circulation and elimination of the waste.

In cellulite-ridden areas, fibrous tissues are eliminated, microcirculation and overall cell exchanges are restored, which results into a reduction of the adipocytes (fat cells) in size.

since 2009. I am a dealer now,” he says.

He explains, and as he speaks, it is clear that his station is a window into the oil business that fuels the national and international economy (pun intended) with history right in that mini market.

In Southern California oil wells had formed Los Angeles; the lack of them built Beverly Hills. And the American love affair with the automobile had taken root.

In 1920, this City was home to the Beverly Hills Speedway. Short-lived, events were attended by Hollywood’s royalty–Will Rogers, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Douglas Fairbanks.

When Gabay bought the store, the world of oil had changed, incorporating massive legislative overhauls from environmental regulations at gas stations to refinery changes, culminating in the tensions in the Middle East that produced the oil cartels and gasoline prices and environmental regulations, smog checks and other improvements. And finally, gas taxes.

“Business is changing.

Most people lease cars. New cars have a ten-year warranty.

Everything is computerized,” he said. “Gas stations are changing. Its the mini-market, not the garage and repair.”

The store used to have five service bays. “We had five mechanics, now we have two.”

Gabay first removed two and then took out a third, increasing the size of his mini mart.

“We used to be a service station. Not anymore. Convenience store.

Spanish bolero about the importance of proper romance.

“I honestly want to sing something I would put my heart into,” she said of the song that originally helped her move into semi-finals.

The Music Center’s Spotlight program director Jeri Gaile explained just how unique the program is: Every single one of this year’s over 1,600 applicants across Southern California were afforded a live audition, she said.

In January, the Music Center named 108 Southern California high school students as semifinalists in each of seven categories, including acting, ballet, non-classical dance, classical voice, non-classical voice, classical instrumental and jazz instrumental. In addition to Golda, BHHS Sophomore Matisse Love made it to the semi-finals for ballet.

Last week, following specialized master classes, the semi-finalists sung for a panel of five judges.

This week the Music Center announced that Golda, and Isobel Anthony of Malibu High School, had won the two grand

BEVERLY HILLS changes.”

He shows us a gas-price finder app on his cell phone.

“Look. We are at least 10 cents below everybody else.” Gabay explains, it is the volume of his sales. He can outsell everyone.

Many of the local stations are 50-60 cents per gallon more.

Located across the street from El Rodeo, his mini-market is a destination for students.

“I’m the king of the junk,” he says, lauging, pointing to his inventory. “Oh, what a mess!”

Gabay is there every day from about 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., where his friends know where to find him. “I don’t have to go anywhere–they all come here,” he laughs. He likes to leave before the onslaught of gradeschoolers takes over.

The station finds itself wedged between two behemoth changes again. Next door, the 9900 building that used to be Robinsons-May is a gaping hole waiting for development. Further east is the future home of the Beverly Hills Waldorf Astoria.

Customers will find a wellstocked mini mart, walls papered in photos of old-time movie stars. Every convenience has been carefully cultivated to match the expectations of his local customers.

But Gabay laments at changes that brought a median to Wilshire. The City could make the east-west access safer by creating a “clear” zone in front of the station, he says. If drivers waited east and west of the turn, it would be safer.

“More people come, more people buy. It’s a crazy business. I put my children through private shools and private university and paid for the house with a gas station.”

Not bad.

prize awards for Classical Voice - which comes with a $5,000 scholarship. Golda said she plans to use the money toward college at Juilliard.

Beverly Hills resident Arnold Seidel, who together with his wife serve as hosts for Golda and her family at this stage of the competition, said he thought Juilliard would be the ideal place for her to continue.

Just three days before her epic L.A. performance, Golda will take the stage at Carnegie Hall after winning the American Protégé International Music Festival.

“I want to support the precollege young people as much as possible,” said Seidel, who has been a major supporter of the The Music Center’s Spotlight Awards for over two decades. “Music is applied mathematics; music is culture; God knows the world could use more of that.

“By doing this, hopefully I'm helping the process, helping the kids,” he added.

The performance will be held in Walt Disney Concert Hall at The Music Center.

Tickets will be $10 and will go on sale on Feb. 23.

Joan Mangum The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the TV Academy had Jeopardy! game show icon, Alex Trebek and Yahoo Tech star David Pogue, co-host the 66th Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards. The event marked the first time the two academies have merged their engineering awards ceremonies.

And speaking of one of my favorite TV hosts Alex Trebek (pictured right)... After reading about his background, numerous involvements in charities and education plus awards, I thought I’d share it with you... There is so much more to him than just being a “host.”

Alex has emceed nearly 7,000 episodes of Jeopardy! since its syndicated debut in 1984. For the past 31 years, he has become one of television’s more enduring and iconic figures, engaging millions of viewers worldwide with his impeccable delivery of “answers and questions.”

Trebek made his American TV debut in 1973 as the host of the NBC game show The Wizard Of Odds. After several other hosting roles, Trebek was chosen to host Jeopardy! He was an immediate hit with viewers and quickly became a pop culture icon. He has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto, making him one of only a handful of entertainers honored by both the U.S. and Canada. In 2013, Trebek was ranked #8 in a Reader’s Digest poll of the “100 Most Trusted People in America.” In addition to his hosting duties, Trebek has a long-standing commitment with numerous charities and educational organizations. In 2013, he was awarded the Alexander Graham Bell medal from the National Geographic Society for his 25 years as host of the National Geographic Bee. He

has participated in 13 USO tours and was a recipient of the USO Bob Hope Award for his entertainment of and commitment to America’s troops. With World Vision, Trebek has traveled to many Third World countries reporting on the group’s efforts on behalf of children. With his family, he went to Zambia, where he adopted a village and helped build a school, homes for teachers, and a medical facility. In 2013, Trebek was inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame, and honored as one of the “Giants of Broadcasting,” a designation awarded by the Library of American Broadcasting. Trebek and Jeopardy! received the Peabody Award in 2011 for “encouraging, celebrating and rewarding knowledge.” That same year, Trebek was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

Additionally, he has won five Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Game Show Host. He and his beautiful wife, Jean, have two adult children, Emily and Matthew. ****** Louis Vuitton unveiled an unconventional exhibition, “Series 2 – Past, Present and Future,” a modern and unexpected interpretation of a fashion show. which invites visitors to discover the inspirations of Nicolas Ghesquiere, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director for women’s collections. It allows visitors to understand how he approaches and reinterprets past stylistic codes of the 160 year-old fashion and luxury house. The exhibition runs through Sunday at 1135 N. Highland Ave. Check it out.

Special guests at the opening reception there included Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Williams, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Catherine Deneuve, Rosamund Pike, Dianna Agron, Riley Keough, Haley Bennett, Brie Larson, Alexa Chung, Emilia Clarke, Karen Gillan, Gugu Mbatha Raw, Liu Wen, Juno Temple, Camille Miceli, Ben Robson, Lykke Li, Chiara Ferragni, and Jesse Jo Stark.

Frances Allen Desert Roundup

She was a sharp-tongued, tell-it-like-you-see-it comediannne who in spite of her rapier sharp, ego-deflating wit, or perhaps because of it, was also a fan favorite for more than a half century. But, that’s only a part of her legacy. Joan Rivers was also involved with the fight to find a cure for HIV/AIDS since the earliest days when some “politically correct” people referred to it as “gay pneumonia” and changed the subject.

In 2012, Rivers headlined

Barbara Keller and Jim Casey attend the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards Gala.

the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards gala, the signature fundraiser for Desert AIDS Project, which last year raised more than $1.4 million for client services, including providing comprehensive support as well as free and confidential HIV testing.

It was appropriate, therefore, in acknowledgement of her recent passing, to have a special tribute at this year’s 21st Steve Chase Humanitarian Award Gala devoted to Rivers and her work involving the fight HIV/AIDS. And, to insure that there would be no need to call out the fashion police, Rivers’ long-time friend, designer, Bob Mackie, presented the tribute.

Other notable award recipients of the evening were Dr. Michael Gottlieb whose work with HIV/AIDS goes back to the beginning of AIDS-awareness; Helene Galen, recognized for her philanthropy in a presentation by Sen. Barbara Boxer; and, David Morgan whose efforts promoting the work and funding of Desert AIDS Project earned him the Partner for Life Award, presented by Leslie Jordan.

Information on the Desert AISDS Project is at 760-3232118.

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 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.c om, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9526-3607.

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 Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Education Partner

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Last week in The Courier, Brian Rodier congratulated the Board of Education for rejecting a policy which would have required the students at El Rodeo to wear uniforms next year. I was the sole vote that supported this policy.

First, I want to thank Brian for his involvement in the schools and the care he has shown.

Second, the proposal was for a stricter, simple to enforce dress code, not really a requirement for uniforms. However, the proposed clothing, despite the variations, would have made it easier to identify a non-student entering the campus, thus adding an additional security level to the school.

Third, students have limited rights. They are required to go on our campuses every day, and we have a duty to protect them, guide them, and nurture them until they can make decisions on their own. They are not necessarily entitled to wear whatever they feel like wearing to school.

My duty as a school board member is to provide policies that allow environments where students can learn to express themselves in their writing, visual arts, performing arts, S.T.E.M. projects, etc. – to grow in their academics, as well as grow socially and morally–essentially to become good, productive citizens. If students don’t need to think about how they are dressed, they gain greater freedom to think more creatively about more important aspects of their education–finding a solution to a word problem in math, getting the right musical expression in orchestra class, etc.

The El Rodeo principal proposed a creative solution that might have enhanced the learning environment of our students. He wanted to try a more restricted dress code and see if it worked.

If it didn't, he would have dropped it and tried something else. This is the process of thinking that we want to encourage in our students – to take calculated risks, to be willing to make a mistake, to know that a better idea is always out there. This is creative thinking.

Lewis Hall ****** The financial condition of BHUSD is unsound and approaching insolvency. The budget for the current year ending June 30, 2015, indicates an excess of expenditures over revenue of $1.2 million, reducing the reserve account from $3.6 million to $2.4. A similar excess of expenditures over revenue in the upcoming year would drop the reserve below the required minimum of 3-percent of revenue.

Moreover, the district faces a number of unbudgeted impending liabilities, any one of which could hasten insolvency. If that happens, the school board could postpone insolvency by spending the “endowment fund” it created last year “in perpetuity.” In that case, however, it would be hard pressed to borrow enough from L.A. County to cover short-term cash flow shortfalls.

The budget forecasts expenditures of $14,186 per student, which does not include the cost of opposing the MTA tunnel. This compares with $9,009 at Las Virgenes, $9,898 at Manhattan Beach, $8,919 at South Pasadena, $12,353 at San Marino, and $10,049 at La Canada. The BHUSD expenditures per student are 40-percent more than the average of those other districts!

School board member Brian Goldberg attributes the outsized expenditures to the need to defend against lawsuits in today’s “litigious society.” So why don’t the other districts have that need? Does Dr. Goldberg’s litigious society exist only in Beverly Hills? In fact, this financial mess is the direct result of faulty judgments and bad decisions by a school board that wastes an enormous percentage of its revenue on expenditures unrelated to the educational program.

What is our community getting in return? The educational program is inferior. BHHS teachers report that incoming freshmen lack the fundamentals to succeed in advanced courses, the percentage of graduates attending junior colleges is at an all-time high, and the California Department of Education has designated the high school academic program as deficient.

Currently, school board members are appealing to the City, BHEF, PTA and individual donors for more urgently needed money; but the community should know that enabling more wasteful spending will only worsen the district’s financial predicament.

Mel Spitz ****** The weekday traffic on Santa Monica Boulevard is bumper to bumper during business hours.

This is a real problem, but is the City even thinking about a partial solution? What will it be like 10 years from today?

Years ago, the city of L.A. had a partial solution on Olympic Boulevard...becoming four lanes in the morning going west and reversed in the evening by moving temporary rubber cones in the middle of the street twice daily.

Making a “side” street one way all day might do some good. Perhaps making an east/west street for trucks only during certain hours make a big difference.

My question is whether our City officials are even considering this situation...or do they feel “It’s not our problem.”

Herbert Wallerstein

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 20). Love embraces you all year. How do you know it’s the right plan for you? As it pulls you along, it seems to reverse the effects of gravity. Your strong choice in March starts a new career trajectory. A magical experience in your personal life in April will escalate a relationship. Your expenses will be paid in August. Taurus and Virgo people adore you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Knowing when you’re in over your head is one thing; admitting it is quite another. With a bit of humility, you’ll attract a teacher who is willing to help you in your quest to make more money.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You cannot change another person.

However, when you offer your assistance without the expectation that the other person will change, you will make a difference.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You refuse to see any situation as tragic or futile and are determined to find whatever advantage might exist. You’ll be successful in this quest, brightening the world for you and the ones you love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you connect with a person as well as you connect with a certain someone, you can communicate profoundly in total silence. Therefore, don’t worry about what you'll say.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Fantasies become realities. It happens all the time, so why not for you? Some small occurrence that you wished would happen will materialize in front of your eyes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Needing validation makes you vulnerable.

If there are words you long to hear, then hearing them will only weaken you. Be strong on your own, keep your power, validate yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You wish everyone well—yes, every single person. That doesn't mean you have to like them all. When you don’t expect to have a great affinity for most people you have to deal with, the way becomes smoother.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you feel so connected to nature and the energy of it around you that you wish you could go live in the woods. Appreciating natural beauty makes you more naturally beautiful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a protocol, but don’t feel overly obligated to follow it. Pretending won’t work today, but doors will open to you when you show who you really are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Territorial issues will come up.

There’s a lot you can let slide until next week. Everything that irritates you about others can lead you to a better understanding of yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You genuinely want to make the world a better place for people, but your methods don’t always project that intent. Let them know that your actions are aimed at the greater good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll search for the value in interactions, and it shouldn’t be so hard to find. When you click with people and you are where you belong, the value will be glaringly obvious.

The Courier welcomes and appreciates “Letters to the Editor” (1) The

shorter the better; (2) Keep to one topic; (3) Do not send letters appearing elsewhere.
