This year, The Courier celebrates 50 years in the community. Throughout the year, we will honor the legacy of excellence in Beverly Hills’ heritage businesses that have called the City their home since 1965 or earlier. By Matt Lopez Certainly, growing up in a family business that specializes in delicious cakes and pastries has its benefits. After all, what kid wouldn’t want to be surrounded by every flavor of cake imaginable? For Patrick Hansen, owner of Hansen’s Cakes on 193 S. Beverly Dr., the benefits went far beyond just filling his stomach with tasty treats. How far? Try lunch with President Ronald Reagan.
By Victoria Talbot In response to the Governor’s statewide water conservation mandates, the City Council has approved measures that will result in drastic cuts to water use City-wide, including consequences for violations that could result in fines up to $1,000. A somber city council faced the problems head on, and listened intently to Assistant Director of Public Works Trish Rhay explain the Governor’s cuts. The City Council agreed Tuesday to implement a modified “Stage D” version of the City’s emergency water conservation plan. The drought, one of the worst in California’s history, means that the Metropolitan Water District that supplies 90 percent of the City’s water is projected to cut back delivery 15 percent. “This is a very serious drought and there is no question that meeting the new state requirements will be challenging for all of us. However, the City is here to help residents and businesses. We will be sending out materials explaining the new requirements in detail. We will be offering tips

By Laura Coleman Mumsey Nemiroff, president of the Beverly Hills Women’s Club and one of the City’s foremost art historians, celebrated her 80th birthday in January with a machete in her hand while taking part in a Masai ceremony for Elders in Tanzania. Next month, she’s leading a group to Cuba. Born Feb 11, 1935 in Chicago, Mumsey moved into Beverly Hills 70 years ago, as a 10-year-old only child, who’d come West with her parents at the suggestion of Mumsey’s aunt and uncle. “They always said it was God’s country,” she recalled. Her father, a pharmacist, had a shop in Chicago that her “very beautiful” mother used to help out in, when she wasn’t maintaining

By Victoria Talbot Police Chief Dave Snowden announced Monday that he will retire, effective June 13, after 11 years with BHPD. He came to Beverly Hills in 2004 after serving as chief of the Costa Mesa Police Department from 1986-2003, and of the Baldwin Park Police Department 19801986. Chief Snowden has spent nearly 50 years in law enforcement. Snowden has announced that he will begin his retirement several months earlier than planned due to an upcoming back surgery. “We wish him well in his re-

and advice for cutting back on water consumption and City staff will be available to answer any other questions you may have,” said Mayor Julian Gold. A resolution will be presented at the May 5 City Council meeting. The City will begin to engage an extensive outreach plan to educate and inform residents of resources available to them that can help. The drought has made water conservation a critical issue. Reduction will be based on a 2014 actual usage baseline for the same billing period, year over year. Residents are being asked to cut their usage by 30 percent. Irrigation counts for 60-70 percent of water usage in residential homes, where the most savings can be achieved. Residents are asked to cut watering from three times per week to two times per week. Any leaks in plumbing or irrigation must be repaired as soon as possible. The City may issue notices to repair visible leaks. No exterior wash-down of buildings or vehicles will be permitted unless it is a commercial car wash with re(see ‘WATER CUTS’ page 15)

Board Eyes Using Prop 65’s ‘Informed Consent’ Provision To Continue Using Seismically Risky School Auditoriums By Laura Coleman After last week’s decision by the Board of Education to immediately take steps to close the seismically risky auditoriums at Hawthorne, El Rodeo at Beverly Hills High School’s Peters Auditorium, the Board is preparing to take a stab at what Board President Brian Goldberg called: “creative solutions.” At Tuesday’s Board meeting, Goldberg said the Board would discuss, for example, availing itself California Proposition 65 (the Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act), which could al-

By Victoria Talbot Sacrificing the option of having periods of quiet, residents and businesses directly impacted by Metro construction for the La Cienega Purple Line Extension have opted to expedite construction to conclude it sooner. At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, City Engineer Mark Cuneo brought the results of a poll of stakeholders, demonstrating a turn-around from earlier discussions that emphasized curtailed work activities with longer overall construction. Staff presented a full range of options to stakeholders, including work
hours from 7 a.m. to midnight, 7a.m. to 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. “However, there was a clear consensus . . . in favor of tolerating impacts later in the day and on weekends rather than having the construction duration extended longer.” Said one building owner, “We side with speeding up the process as much as possible. Our tenants agree. When it drags on its harder to stay and to rent something if you have a vacancy.” Details of the Memorandums of Understanding are under consideration between the City of Beverly Hills and the Metropolitan Transportation (see ‘METRO CONSTRUCTION’ page 18)
In-Lieu Parking Expansion OK’d For South Santa Monica, Robertson Blvd. By Victoria Talbot The in-lieu parking program that has been so successful in revitalizing business and pedestrian access in the City’s Business Triangle, has been approved for a program on South Robertson Boulevard from Wilshire Boulevard to Olympic Boulevard and on South Santa Monica Boulevard from Wilshire to Moreno Drive. Rejected were programs that would extend in-lieu to South Beverly Drive from Wilshire to Olympic Boulevard, Wilshire, east of the Business Triangle to the edge of city limits and Olympic Boulevard from Rexford Drive to
Robertson Boulevard. The in-lieu parking program allows properties that wish to redevelop or add businesses that require additional parking to pay into the City’s in-lieu parking fund rather than provide all the required parking spaces on-site. The intention of the program is to “foster business vibrancy” and to “enhance the pedestrian experience.” Many of the commercial areas that might benefit from the in-lieu program are adjacent to residential areas, and the absence of parking requirements means an increasing likelihood of (see ‘IN-LIEU PARKING’ page 18)

bridge the worlds of business, finance, science, and policy has never been more in demand.” This year’s event will feature more than 650 speakers including major investors, CEOs, senior government officials, scientists, educators, (see ‘MILKEN CONFERENCE’ page 18)
Declining High School Enrollment Could Prompt District To Eventually Lay Off 20 Teachers By Laura Coleman The Beverly Hills Unified School District would do well to trim some of the “fat” from its budget, according to BHUSD Chief Administrative Officer LaTanya Kirk-Carter, who at Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting recommended the district lay-off some 20 teachers. Kirk-Carter estimated that the over-staffed high school is costing the district approximately $1.8 million annually.
“There needs to be some action, this is bad budgeting,” she said. The district is predicting a loss of 98 students for next year, bringing the enrollment down to 1,535. Currently, 122 sections have under 20 students and 1/3 of those have under 10 students. “At this point, it really is time to make a plan to curb the high school staff,” Kirk-Carter said a. “There has been no decrease in BHHS staff, but an av-
erage enrollment loss of 6 percent.” Board of Education President Brian Goldberg said the district is planning to have an additional budget study session after the governor’s revised budget comes out in May. Those numbers, coupled with updated retirement and enrollment projections and the district’s needs, will be fundamental to any decision related to potential lay-offs.

Cultural Heritage Commission Begins Process To Preserve Gail Drive Condominiums By Victoria Talbot The Cultural Heritage Commission initiated nomination proceedings for a condominium property at 131 N. Gale Drive last week, following a unanimous request for consideration from every member of the homeowners association. Architect Raymond Kappe designed the 1961 Mid-Century Modern building. Several other homes were denied nominations. They were included in the agenda because when a demolition permit is pulled for a home built by a Master Architect, the Cul-
tural Heritage Commission must review the home. However, a majority of the commissioners did not feel that these homes rose to the level of inclusion onto the Local Register of Historic Resources. That included three homes. A home built by architect William Ache on Camden Drive, one built by H.W. Hillock of Hillock and Son on Alta Drive, and a John Byers home on Sierra Drive were rejected for nomination proceedings. “The Point” condominiums at 131 North Gale Drive are a four-story building of stucco,
wood, aluminum and glass with an interior atrium, skylights and a catwalk. Every member of the building’s homeowners association is in agreement with the landmark proceedings. Though the building is not that of a master architect, it could meet certain necessary criteria. The building “embodies the distinctive characteristics of style” of a period of construction; possesses “high artistic or aesthetic value; “retains integrity from its period of significance; and has “historic value.” (see ‘CULTURAL HERITAGE’ page 17)
By Matt Lopez Another day, another horrendous construction-related accident in Bel-Air. What has become an unfortunately common occurrence in Bel-Air in recent months happened again Tuesday afternoon when a large construction truck collided with a small black Audi, destroying the front end of the vehicle and scattering pieces of it across Stone Canyon Road. Fortunately, according to sources at the scene, everyone involved walked away unharmed, but it still made for a scary scene Tuesday morning. According to one resident on the scene, Jaye Rogovin, who arrived after the (see ‘BEL-AIR’ page 18)

Hilton & Hyland’s Resnick Closes On Neff’s $85 Million Singleton Home By Victoria Talbot Wallace Neff's Singleton House on Delfern Drive in Holmby Hills has sold. Listed for $85 million, Beverly Hills Realtor Stephen Resnick of Hilton & Hyland represented the buyer, who will be enjoying seven flat acres of luxury in the timeless beauty of the last home designed by the renowned architect. The home is on a broad sweep of land, featuring 10 bedrooms and 12.5 baths. It is actually three separate parcels, with a pool, private lake and a tennis court, set in a rare patch of open parkland in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Th e entire property is subtly and masterfully
private, concealed by lush vegetation. A colonial revival, the home was built in the 1970s for Henry Singleton, the man who founded Teledyne. The entry is an oval hallway with dramatically high ceilings and a two-story foyer. Details like walnut finishing, spacious living areas, flow, molded ceilings, light and space - are features associated with Neff's spectacular architecture. “It’s like buying the last Picasso,” said Resnick of the home. “It’s iconic.” The combination of the architecture, the grandeur of the placement and the three contiguous lots totalling over seven acres in Holmby Hills made this property unique and valuable to this buyer, he said. Wallace Neff worked extensively in Southern California, designing homes that defined the
California style for many noteworthies and celebrities, including Pickfair for Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. His work was in great demand among the wealthy and fashionable, including many clients in Beverly Hills and throughout the Golden Triangle. He worked and lived in San Marino, Hancock Park and the Southern California area. Neff's style is timeless, and as much in demand today as it was when it was built. His legacy includes the Gillete and Singer mansions, the Gates residence and the Libby Ranch. Guy Ritchie and Madonna purchased a Neff home in Beverly Hills. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston bought a Neff home, as did Diane Keaton. The historic roots of this house are a testament to Neff's prolific career, reflecting the same simple grandeur and masterful lines that won him a place as a leader in creating the California Style of architecture. Beverly Hillsbased Hilton & Hyland has represented some of the world's most impressive properties, consistently providing record-breaking performance in exceptional real estate.

UCLA Forms New Partnership To Broaden Fitness Opportunities For Los Angeles Adolescents Knowing that heavy children often grow up to become chronically ill adults, UCLA Health has joined forces with the Sound Mind Sound Body Foundation to tackle the problem of childhood obesity. The Sound Body Sound Mind Foundation has pledged $3 million to establish a partnership with UCLA Health. The new entity, UCLA Health Sound Body Sound Mind, will replicate the foundation’s existing program model and install state-of-the-art fitness equipment, offer physical education guidance and fitness curricula free of charge to selected middle and high schools in L.A. County as a way to strengthen preventive health solutions for students. By encouraging students to embrace fitness in their adolescent years, the program addresses bad habits and inactivity before they become an integral part of their lives. “Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity, knowledge and tools to pursue a healthy lifestyle through physical fitness,” said Bill Simon, cofounder of Sound Body Sound
Cindy and Bill Simon founded Sound Body Sound Mind over 15 years ago to fight childhood obesity by granting underserved Los Angeles students access to quality fitness resources.
Mind, with his wife Cindy. “Our collaboration with UCLA Health will allow us access to their world-renowned resources and personnel. Ultimately, we believe this partnership will allow us to reach our goals faster and more effectively as we bring to bear the experience of both our organizations on this challenge.” According to the L.A. County Department of Public Health, 42 percent of children in the county are overweight or obese with a higher risk for serious chronic health problems. “UCLA Health Sound Body
Sound Mind will give students the tools they need to take charge of their health by ensuring that they have access to fitness resources. This project is a good example of UCLA Health system’s commitment to community engagement,” said Nathan Nambiar, executive director of the Sound Body Sound Mind Foundation and community engagement manager at UCLA Health.

HANSEN’S CAKES (Continued from page 1)
“I was 16 years old doing deliveries, my dad would send me down to President Reagan’s house in Bel-Air,” Hansen said. “I would sit and have a sandwich with him, it was different back then.” So what did President Reagan and a 16-year-old kid who worked in a bakery have to talk about? “He would ask about school, my parents, what I wanted to do with my life, what I was doing the rest of the day” Hansen said. “I went out in the backyard and chopped wood with him once.” For Hansen, that was just a regular day in his life. As a seventh-generation baker in the Hansen family, he was brought up in the business the same way his father Gary was. Patrick’s grandparents, Louise and Holger “Bud” Hansen brought the business to Beverly Hills in 1950 and Gary eventually took over. Patrick began working in the shop as a teenager, taking out trash and doing deliveries, all while working on his craft as a baker and decorator. “There’s a pecking order, it’s not like you just walk in there and start decorating,” Hansen said. Patrick worked his way through the ranks, eventually earning a masters de-
gree in baking. Hansen’s currently has a Beverly Hills showroom, a Tarzana showroom (which Patrick’s son operates) and a bakery on South Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles. Patrick said he prides himself on giving his customers, some who are third or fourth generation customers, exactly what they want in terms of taste and style. Hansen’s specializes in more than 20 cake fillings, including the longtime favorite Butter Creme, along with 10 delicious flavors of cake layer. Hansen’s also has cupcakes, along with glutenfree cakes and cupcakes. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Beverly Hills shop without some celebrity tales. And while Patrick enjoyed rubbing elbows as a teenager with the likes of President Reagan, Bob Hope and Betty White, that same childlike enthusiasm comes out of him when he talks about designing an 8-foot cake aboard a yacht last Monday for Beyonce’s mom’s wedding. Just before that, Hansen designed a lavish cake for Kris Jenner, who called in the order for daughter Kourtney Kardashian’s birthday. “It’s always a new challenge and it’s still a lot of fun,” Hansen said. Hansen’s Beverly Hills is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

claimed water or it is in response to a health, safety or welfare matter. All users but tier 1 (lowest use) will be required to reduce their usage to 70 percent of the baseline period or face a tiered-level surcharge to be determined by City Council, based on the higher cost of providing the higher volume of water. Outdoor watering violations will be a misdemeanor violation punishable by a fine up to $1,000. Repeated and excessive violations could result in termination of water supply through irrigation water services or/and restriction through domestic meters. In public spaces, water usage from fire hydrants is to be used only for firefighting and related activities necessary for the public’s health and safety. Restaurants may only provide water upon request. All public restrooms and private hotel bathrooms will have notification of conservation goals. Plans are being proposed for an enhanced rebate program that will incentivize conservation. Residents at council expressed concerns that efforts to conserve may penalize them by creating an artificially lower baseline to measure from. City Council agreed. One area the City will explore is shallow ground water beneath the City. “We are sitting on a lake of shallow ground water that we are pumping and paying for to go to the Hyperion treatment plant that goes to the ocean,” said Councilwoman Nancy Krasne. She would like to see the City find ways to use it for drinking. The council is continuing to explore allowing artificial turf in the front yards and parkways. Enforcement has been suspended,” said Therese Kosterman, public information manager. “We are telling people to conserve but we are not giving them the ability to use a viable alternative,” said Councilmember Lili Bosse. Councilman Willie Brien became impassioned, arguing that the City should have “aggressive patrols in the next days on watering, hosing down sidewalks and busi-

The average LADWP usage per capita per day is reported to be 93 gallons. Beverly Hills is divided into four tiers. Tier one users will be affected little. Residents used 286 gallons per person per day in 2014. San Diego County, which reported the highest average, was at 584 gallons. These averages come from the State Water Resources Control Board reporting in September 2014, of 300 urban water suppliers. The lowest users, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, were at 45.7 gallons. In Beverly Hills, tier four users, which are a small fraction of the population, in some cases consume as much as 10,000 gallons per person, per day. An appeals court decision handed down Monday has thrown tiered rates meant to discourage heavy users into limbo. A means of promoting conservation in San Juan Capistrano, California’s 4th District Court of Appeals found the tiered rate structure unconstitutional because it charged more for water than it cost the city to provide the service. The system failed to base the fees on the cost of providing water as required under Proposition 218. The decision has created a problem for about one third of California cities. “I don’t know if we have fully explored the implications,” said City Attorney Larry Weiner. “San Juan, like many cities, had a tiered rate structure not related to the cost to encourage conservation by charging a higher fee per water usage. That approach by San Juan was not permissible because the tiers were not related to the cost of providing service. It did not rule out a tieredrate system if the city can show there is a higher cost to delivering water to higher usage customers. We cannot develop tiers for conservation,” he said. The City faces an $8.2 million shortfall in fixed costs for water delivery if successful in reducing water usage by 36-percent. And the state may fine the City up to $10,000 per day for violations.

Beverly Hills High School Softball Team Pounds Lawndale For First Ocean League Win By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills High’s softball team poured on the runs early and often Tuesday to pick up its first Ocean League win of the season. Shyra Costas led the scoring barrage, going 2 for 4 with four RBIs to lead the Normans in a 14-4 win over visiting Lawndale. BHHS (6-7, 1-2) broke the game open with a five-run second inning and never looked back. Isabel Rund went 3 for 3 with three RBIs and Lena Shapiro went 1 for 2 with three RBIs. Madeleine Tirella drove in two runs and Maytal Sarafian, Savannah Delpino and Emma Carruth each had an RBI. Costas held down the fort on the mound for BHHS, al-
lowing three earned runs on nine hits with four strikeouts. Track and Field Amanda Block shattered her BHHS record in the pole vault last weekend at the Mt. SAC relays, posting an 11-9 leap in the seeded event. Her previous record had been 11-4, and she actually broke that before posting the 11-9, earlier in the event when she posted an 11-6 leap. Block’s 11-9 was good for first place in the event, with second place recording an 110 jump. Block’s 11-9 jump ranks her No. 4 in CIF Southern Section Division 3, and ninth in the entire CIF Southern Section. She is 20th in the state. At the South Bay Championship, Raehaan Poonja sprint-
ed the 100 meter run in 11.03, good for second place in the event at West Torrance. Elsa Woods took third place in girls varsity shot put with a throw of 32-0 1/2.

Internationally renowned Israeli author, Amos Oz will receive the “UCLA Israel Studies Award” and philanthropists Younes and Soraya Nazarian, the inaugural “Visionary Award” at a gala evening celebrating the five-year anniversary of the UCLA Younes & Soraya Nazarian Center for Israel Studies, Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. The center promotes the study of Israel as a modern Jewish and democratic state. The evening’s program, followed by an elegant dinner, will include a special conversation with Oz by celebrated Israeli journalist, writer and television commentator, Ari Shavit. The Honorary Committee is helmed by Janet Napolitano, President, University of California and Gene Block, Chancellor, UCLA. “The Y&S Nazarian Center is thrilled to present the UCLA Israel Studies Award to Amos Oz, a giant of Israeli literature,” said Yoram Cohen, interim director of the center and professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and adjunct professor at BenGurion University in Israel. “We are equally delighted to honor the couple for whom our center is named, whose visionary leadership has made it the premier Israel Studies center on the West Coast,” he added. The “UCLA Israel Studies
Younes & Soraya Nazarian
Award,” which includes a $10,000 prize, was created to recognize individuals of extraordinary character and merit in their chosen fields – whether in academia, public service, business or the arts – who have contributed to a greater understanding of Israel or have made outstanding contributions to Israeli society and/or culture. The prize has only been awarded once previously, to former President (Chief Justice) of the Supreme Court of Israel, Aharon Barak, in 2007. “UCLA is deeply grateful to Younes and Soraya Nazarian for championing Israel studies through their generous gifts and leadership,” said UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, who will present the award to the Nazarians. “Their dedication to community and scholarship has helped make the Y&S Nazarian Center a unique academic hub that gives our students exposure to the latest research on Israel, offers scholarships to study and conduct research there and hosts leading Israeli scholars and public figures to speak at public events on campus.”

MUMSEY NEMIROFF (Continued from page 1)
“I grew up on a racetrack,” she recalled, listing off tracks where her father raced their horses along the Golden Coast, including Bay Meadows, Golden Gate, Hollywood Park, Del Mar, and Santa Anita. “My greatest ambition was to be a jockey, but I was too tall and there were no girl jockeys at that time.” Throughout her youth, in the early mornings she would ride horses on the racetrack while jockeys worked out the horses, making sure to stay away from the rails lest the horses take off at the neck-breaking speeds as they’d been trained - such a practice would never be allowed today. A succession of strict riding teachers had taught her to develop her seat by riding blind-folded without reigns and her arms spread wide. Deprived of sight and steering, Mumsey developed an innate balance that she described as “a wheel of energy between rider and horse” where she filled the horse with trust and the horse filled her with its ability to respond. At 4 years old, Mumsey had fallen off a horse, shattering her left arm with the result that she spent 14 months wearing a brace. The experience was defining for the free-spirited young Mumsey, who, as a natural lefty, understood she was living in a world dominated by right-handed people where everything from scissors to desks were engineered for the majority. She recalled her mother’s friend commenting: “This is the best thing that could have happened...because now she’ll be right-handed.” “I never forgot those words,” she said. “The day it came off, I took with a vengeance left-handedness.” Once the family settled into Beverly Hills, Mumsey,a trained concert pianist, began to attend Hollywood Professional School. To go to school, she’d take the Pacific Electric’s red car to Hollywood, hopping on at the stop across the street from the old Post Office on Santa Monica and Canon, where The Courier today resides. “Every Saturday, my girlfriends and I met at the Beverly station and we’d take the red car to Hollywood,” she said. “We’d eat at the Pig ‘n Whistle...go to the Egyptian, Pantages....see a movie.” “The idea of needing to be
April 24, 2015 | Page 17 protected was anathema–it simply was not in anyone’s consciousness,” Mumsey added. At the time the world was a very different place. Back then, Newberry's, the dime store, “was the go-to place for everything from house plants to goldfish to needles and thread,” she said, noting that the lunch counter was “fabulous” for kids; as was the lunch counter at Thrifty's up on the corner of Beverly and little Santa Monica where Bank of America now sits. There was also Uncle Bernie’s toy menagerie on Rodeo Drive next door to the Luau (“where everyone went”) which was quite magical for youngsters. “All the kids loved to go to Uncle Bernie's cause you could pop a lollipop off the tree,” she recalled. And as an equestrian, she was often in the Mayfair Riding Shop on the 400 block of Rodeo Drive, where Norm Lifpitz had “absolutely everything for equestrians and their mounts because, remember, there was a bridal path along North Rodeo and all along Sunset.” When she and her friends weren’t going to the beach (“a very popular pastime in days of yore”), notably the “coolest beaches to be seen at,” Roadside Rest or Agony Hollow, they’d often head to one of the many movie theatres in Beverly Hills, Warner's, the Fox Wilshire, and the Four Star. At 14, while attending Beverly Hills High School (she played the piano at graduation), she acquired a junior driver's license, making it legal for her to drive unsupervised to school. “On Friday nights, we would take my mother’s Buick and we would go to Stan’s Drive-in on Wilshire and Linden or go to the movies and cruise Hollywood,” Mumsey recounted. “At the end of the evening, each girl would give a quarter and we would fill up $1 in gas.” With the added five gallons or so of gas in the car, her mother “would never know where we’d been,” she said. If her mom ever thought to check the odometer, she never let on. “High school was fun,” she said. “People didn’t send their children to private schools in those days. People moved to Beverly Hills for the schools.” Today, every three or four months, she now meets for lunch with eight of her BHHS alums, the only woman in a boys’ club that just last year in-
vited her into the fold. Mumsey, who received a full scholarship to Wellesley College in Massachusetts after graduating BHHS Class of 1952, attended USC (“Not UCLA, because it was further from home”) because her mother feared she’d marry an East Coast man and never return. There, her love of animals prompted her to study zoology. While still a college student, she met her first husband, a doctor who eventually settled at Cedars-Sinai after their relatives in Arizona fixed them up. After the wedding, they moved into their own home in Beverly Hills; however, the marriage did not work out quite the way she hoped. When Mumsey separated from her husband, a young mother with three sons to raise (all of whom graduated from Hawthorne and BHHS), she returned to school part-time at UCLA to become an art historian and acquired her master of arts. “It was just the most natural thing for me to do,” she recalled, noting that she was galvanized by a visit to Florence after the 1966 flood of the Arno River that almost obliterated many of the greatest achievements in human history. One well-timed year-long course on African art she signed up for, “perfect because of the kids,” cemented her fascination with the African continent and she became transfixed by the traditions and richness of tribal culture. Upon graduation, she became an instructor in UCLA’s Art Department where she taught for 18 years until 1992. Her first trip to Africa in 1974, where she visited tribal West African, opened her eyes to a world of rituals and dance that have since been lost in the melange of new cultural changes. In the last 41 years, she has now been to Africa 36 times. “The last several trips, have always been my farewell trip,” she said. “But I’m taking Cher as my role model because Cher has been on her farewell tour the last 10 years; and I figure if she can do it with a few feathers and plumes and sequins, I can do it in my well worn safari outfit.” Mumsey eventually found the love of her life in Allan Nemiroff. He was the little league coach and she was the team mother. They married on Christmas Eve of 1979. Their gorgeous Beverly Hills home is something
of a shrine to their enjoyment of life with its collection of intriguing art ranging from pieces they’ve collected in Africa to contemporary art and fabulous collection of antique clocks. Today, she is one of the foremost authorities on the nuanced relationships of collectors to their surroundings. Among a litany of accomplishments, Mumsey counts working in Borneo on the plight of the vanishing rainforest in Indonesia as among her must significant. In fact, in the wilds of Borneo, there is a female orangutan named Mumsey (named for her) that was released from Camp Leakey after it was rescued as an orphan. “I held that baby in my arms at the Center; we bonded,” she recalled. Mumsey has also been involved for years on the Alliance Board of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County as well as on the UCLA Art Council and the African Wildlife Fund. She still continues to lecture on art, primarily focusing on modern and contemporary art, as well as the connoisseurship of art. “The true value of art has nothing to do with the pocket book; the true value is in the enrichment to the soul,” Mumsey explained. “You don’t have to own it; you only have to own the image and keep in the gallery of your mind.”
CULTURAL HERITAGE (Continued from page 5)
The City’s consultant will prepare a report for commission review. The Cultural Heritage Commission also spent several hours Tuesday reviewing the proposed amendments to the ordinance to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The two commissions have been working for several months on preparing a more streamlined ordinance that will better serve the needs of the City. “A full and frank discussion of the new ordinance language will improve it,” said Maralee Beck, chair of the Cultural Heritage Commission. “Our goal, and the Planning Commission's, is to try to give some certainty to property owners about the parcels' historic potential, or lack thereof. All five commissioners were helpful in structuring the changes to make it easier to understand & follow. We look forward to getting through the process as soon as is practical.”

essential for resolving the financial and organizational problems of the district. To serve the community once again I will be a candidate in November, and look forward to discussing the issues with the voters over the course of the election campaign.” A lot has changed in the 36 years since Spitz last served on the Board of Education from 1970-79; but one thing that hasn’t shifted, is his commitment to the City’s schools. Spitz was a founding member of the BHUSD’s Finance Committee for three years from 2011-13 and has been a constant, outspoken voice about ways he believes the school district can ad must improve. Boardmembers Noah Margo and Lewis Hall, whose terms end in November, have yet to confirm their intention to run for reelection.

most compromises, this will not make everyone happy; but it will allow our parents, staff and community to make their own informed decision regarding the risk they are willing to assume for themselves and their children.” Goldberg said the BHUSD General Counsel Vince Ewing is currently looking into nuances surrounding Prop 65. Superintendent Gary Woods said another idea now being explored, for example, is having the BHHS orchestra use the Beverly Canon garden for rehearsals. The decision to close the auditoriums was based on engineering reports that determined that the ceilings above the auditoriums’ seating areas–which weigh more than 40 pounds per square foot–were at risk of collapse in the event of an earthquake. On April 13, Ewing gave Board members a document that concluded: “Board members may be exposed to personal liability if they receive information related to the unsafe condition of school buildings and do not take reasonable steps to repair them.” Woods confirmed the district is now in the process of getting a structural engineer to look at the buildings to confirm that the buildings are unsafe.

CHARTER SCHOOL (Continued from page 1)
particularly because not only could the school avail itself to BHUSD funds, but it is also getting the approval to move into Beverly Hills from Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District. “Normally a charter school would come in through a local governing board,” explained Superintendent Gary Woods. “Unfortunately, they’re coming in and establishing a charter school in our district boundaries” without BHUSD consent. Albert Einstein apparently has a pattern of landing in school districts and AADUSD proved to be the perfect entry point for the charter school. The school district appears to be using a loophole in the
Charter Schools Act of 1992, which generally limits charter schools to the geographic jurisdiction of their authorizing entity, in order to receive fees for oversight duties to the tune of 3.5 percent of general fund revenue from each charter school it approves. AADUSD has apparently approved and issued as many as 15 separate charter school petitions since 2012. As a result, it is deriving income from school districts beyond its borders. In fact, last night, 52 miles away, the AADUSD was prepared to move forward in support of a “material revision” that would change the location of Odysee, originally approved by AADUSD for a Los Angeles Unified School District location in the San Fernando Valley,
to BHUSD. The Acton school district has already been hit with numerous lawsuits from school districts who have taken issue with this very procedure, including Pasadena, San Diego, Newhall and Los Angeles school districts. Board of Education VP Howard Goldstein said the district originally entertained the idea of Odysee coming into Beverly Hills, but changed its tune once it became known that it was unlikely to be costneutral, as it was originally proposed. “We gave them a document to sign that they wouldn’t seek funds from the district, which they wouldn’t sign,” Woods said
METRO CONSTRUCTION (Continued from page 4)
Authority (Metro) for the upcoming construction of the La Cienega Station of the Metro Westside Subway Extension. Staff was asking the City Council for direction in those negotiations going forward, based on the local responses. The City has contracted with Cordoba Consultants during negotiations. Currently work is limited to the utility relocation phase. Upcoming phases include pile and deck installations. Two of the initial phases of construction will have significant impacts on residents, businesses and traffic; the installation of drilled piles and the installation of a roadway decking system that will be in place while work continues beneath the street level. Then about 2021, the decking will be removed and the street restored. About 400-drilled piles around the perimeter of the station will go in first on one side, then the other, near the curb of Wilshire Blvd. Traffic will be reduced to two lanes, K-rail will be installed and street parking will be removed. With drilling to cease at 8 p.m., City Council agreed with

encroachment on those streets. There has been a great need to address the problems of shallow commercial space on South Santa Monica, with the shallow depth of the retail spaces, leaving no room to add parking. Parking occupancy in the area is at 50-percent, compared to South Beverly Drive, which is at 99-percent at its peak. Business is strong and maintaining residential quality is important. In-lieu parking may be unnecessary, pointed out Councilmember Lili Bosse. “Their goals are already solved.

BEVERLY HILLS a plan that would allow work from 7 a.m. to midnight, 7-days a week, for an estimated 12 months (6 months for each side of the street). Pile installation across Wilshire Boulevard along the station ends at Tower Lane and La Cienega Boulevard will require a full closure. With traffic mitigation to be determined, City Council approved a plan to allow two weeks of full closure for this process. The installation of a roadway surface decking over the site will also require a full closure of Wilshire Boulevard. Working 24 hours a day with full closure, this can be achieved in four weeks. The total construction time will be one year and six weeks. “As we move forward, the issue of creating financial incentives or dis-incentives is important,” said Mayor Julian Gold, which would encourage expedited construction. All councilmembers were clear that they were not giving their consent to full closure of Wilshire without seeing a traffic mitigation plan closer to the event. “If they say they can do it in four weeks, they can do it in three,” said Vice Mayor John Mirisch.
For me, South Beverly Drive is off the table. South Robertson studies show parking capacity on the street at only 69-percent occupied.“ That is a street that I am willing to consider,” she said. The council voted separately on each street, agreeing to initiate in-lieu only on South Santa Monica and Robertson Boulevards. The City will continue to examine public-private partnerships, sharing with private parking areas that are not at capacity and linking development opportunities to parking.

president of the JWCI Auxiliary, referring to a quote of her grandfather John Wayne. She credited his strength of character and determination as the seed from which his children and Dr. Donald L. Morton came together in 1981 to form the John Wayne Cancer Institute. Shortly thereafter, a group of dedicated women formed the JWCI Auxiliary, which has raised more than $18 million for the needed research conducted by the institute. Chairman Patrick Wayne took a moment to recognize two key additions to the institute’s team: newly named CEO Marcel Loh and Dr. Timothy Wilson, a renowned specialist in the field of prostate cancer. Honoree Sinise’s Gary Sinise Foundation (www.garysinisefoundation.org) was established to expand on his own individual efforts in raising raised millions of dollars in support of veterans and first responders. In addition to her duties at Providence St. John’s Health Center, co-honoree DiNome is acting director of the Margie Petersen Breast Center.
The Masters has its green jacket, but the winner of the LPGA’s most iconic championship, now known as the ANA Inspiration, and the first ladies golf tournament of the LPGA season, has a coveted robe. But, not any hang-up-behind-the-bathroom-door type of robe, this one comes with a history and a future. Previously known as the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and by previous sponsors before them, the tournament was founded in 1972 by Dinah Shore and David Foster. It has been an LPGA major championship event since 1983. Held at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, the 44-year old event has the distinction of being the second oldest golf tournament continuously held at the same course. Recently, sponsorship (and survivorship) of the tournament at Mission Hills was in doubt until All Nippon Airways stepped up to the tee and became the title sponsor, designating it as the ANA Inspiration. Now, here is where the robe enters the narrative. The 18th green of the tournament is surrounded by Champions Lake, which contains Poppie’s Pond named in honor of Terry Wilcox, longtime tournament director who retired in 2008. In 1988, an excited Amy Alcott was so happy to have just won the tournament that in her exuberance she jumped into Poppie’s Pond, thus starting a tradition that’s been honored by every winner since then–a tradition that also required a robe. ANA, which is the largest airline in Japan by passenger volume, wanted something special to go with its sponsorship of the tournament and so it commissioned Imabari, a firm that has been making towels in Japan for more than 120 years, to partner with it in the manufacture of a distinct robe for the tournament winner. The result–a full-length, pure white robe with ANA-blue strips on the sleeves. After three holes of playoff tension, the winner of the ANA Inspiration and the robe for 2015 (and $375,000) is Brittany Lincicome who’ll be back next year. However, we don’t know if she will have to return the robe, cleaned, prior to 2016 play. ****** To say that spending an evening with Jason Alexander is a magical experience is not far-fetched. The man best known as TV’s Seinfeld’s best-friend, George Castanza, is not only an accomplished magician, but a singer, director, actor, producer, teacher, poker player and, if given a couple of hours to learn, could probably perform thoracic surgery as well. Thanks to The Desert Symphony and its president, Nancy Tapick, who, along with her faithful mascot, Symphony Sammy, brought Alexander to the Desert for his one-man show, featuring an abundance of personal and theatrical talent that holds you spellbound … when you’re not holding your sides with laughter. The goal of The Desert Symphony is to enhance and enrich the cultural life of the Coachella Valley. This is done Nancy Tapick & Jason Alexander through a series of concerts with mascot Symphony Sammy and special events. Under the baton of Gary Berkson, the orchestra concluded its 26th season, but re-opens Dec. 1, with a production of Wicked Divas. Information about how you, as a musician or audience-member, can help the symphony continue to reach its goals is available at 760-773-5988.

Hence, visitors will consider the Civil War connections to Indian wars and the Trail of Tears, the Gold Rush, the Missouri Compromise, the Mexican American War, the Intercontinental Railroad, the Suffragette initiative and more. The Autry, at 4700 Western Heritage Way, is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m., weekends.

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 con-
sidering 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/propertySea rchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1400263430 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. 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.

PUBLIC NOTICES Trustee Sale No. : 00000004934850 Title Order No.: 130186719 FHA/VA/PMI No.: NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 04/14/2004. 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. BARRETT DAFFIN FRAPPIER TREDER & WEISS, LLP, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded on 05/07/2004 as Instrument No. 04 1153757 of official records in the office of the County Recorder of LOS ANGELES County, State of CALIFORNIA. EXECUTED BY: NAZLI G ALISHAHI, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK/CASH EQUIVALENT or other form of payment authorized by California Civil Code 2924h(b), (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States). DATE OF SALE: 05/14/2015 TIME OF SALE: 10:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: BEHIND THE FOUNTAIN LOCATED IN CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, 400 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, POMONA CA. STREET ADDRESS and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 441 NORTH OAKHURST DRIVE #302, BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210 APN#: 4342-034-048 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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 $546,260.74. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. 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 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000004934850. 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.

BEVERLY HILLS Last week, The Courier published, on page 30 a letter read by Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education President Brian Goldberg on April 14th, upon accepting his nomination to return to the position of school board president. Beverly Hills Police Department's retiring Chief Dave Snowden's lawyer sent The Courier a copy of a letter he had directed to Mr. Goldberg in response. Below is the text of that letter:

From The Publisher
MARCIA WILSON HOBBS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR As a longtime resident of Beverly Hills (since 1980), I always look forward to reading our two local newspapers, both of which serve our community well with new information and stories. I have become dismayed to see articles wherein the school board members have less than kind words for each other, members of the BHPD, or even just residents. To add to my consternation, the two Beverly Hills weeklies also exhibit this same behavior. Our City is much more to the outside world than just Rodeo Drive. Our police and fire departments are exceptional, along with our library. The City is indeed special. Unfortunately, when reading our local newspapers lately, that fact is not what one notices. Rather, a reader sees a place with people who cannot be polite to each other. I proudly have the Beverly Hills “Civil City” sticker on my car. The Human Relations Commission has encouraged the “Civil City”proposition to enhance our City. I urge the BHUSD Board of Education members, our newspapers, and all residents to try to remember that civility does improve the City's image. Abby Friedman, Beverly Hills ****** I have known Brian Goldberg as a man of honesty and integrity who—even when I disagree with him—has never disappointed me with his drive and determination to better our schools and community. I am glad for him, his family and our community that the DA has dropped the charges against him. I am not surprised. Lyle Kurtz, Beverly Hills ****** In the decades since the formation of the Jewish State of Israel, the main discussions on Judaism were whether one ought to be Orthodox, Conservative or Reform. The discussions about religion seemed to be endless. However, Israel was always supported by all. Nowadays, in my opinion, the main topic of conversation is about who is a Jew, according to the politically correct yardstick and who is, to whatever degree, an anti-Semite. As a religion, the topic of being Jewish has been shoved to the back-burner and the love of Zionism or for the State of Israel is regularly questioned and/or attacked. Jews living in the comfort of the U.S., such as members of the J Street organization, or members of Jewish Voice for Peace, Code Pink , or several other Jewish groups, often judge and propose what they ‘think’ is best for Israel, even though they do not live there and have no clue what it means to live under the terrorists' guns and rockets. What these groups also fail to understand, over and over, is that their actions are harming the very lives of the Jewish people and everyone living in Israel. They are placing in danger the Jewish students on university campuses when they support the boycott, divestment and sanctions movements allowing these groups to use these Jewish “helpers/volunteers” as support for their divestment cause. Doing this justifies their negative assumptions about Israel and their anti-Israel activities to harm the Jewish State. There is some good news with Rabbinical students who are not “buying into these Bull organizations.” Below are a few samples of those who have problems with Israel and, therefore, are bashing it and affiliating themselves with BDS movements: Peter Beinart has actually urged young American Jews to travel to Israel in order to take part in Palestinian demonstrations against the IDF. Another speaker at the J Street conference, Marcia Freedman, took aim at Israel’s primary reason to be as a Jewish state by making comments that the State of Israel should no longer have a Jewish majority. Audaciously and provocatively, she said that Israeli Jews should accept the status of “protected minority” in an Arab-majority “bi-national” state. Horrendous!!!! Members of J STREET: Rabbi Richard Levy, Los Angeles, a recent guest at Temple Emanuel in Beverly Hills; Rabbi John Rosove, and so many more; Jewish Voice for Peace: actor Ed Asner, activist Gershon Baskins, and playwright Tony Kushner get a platform to speak at Temple Isaiah, etc.; There are others groups such as PeaceWorks Inc., the PeaceWorks Foundation’s OneVoice Movement, Daniel Lubetzky (recently, the White House used them to attempt defeating Netanyahu); With elections ahead of us, I sincerely hope that Jews will vote for the candidate and not for the political party, thereby ensuring that America has a better future and Israel has a true friend in the White House and in Congress. Just a reminder ... the majority of the Republicans running for president are true friends of Israel while the Democrat contenders are questionable. At the end of a recent meeting at the White House, apparently the Jews that were present vowed to help deal with the Jews so that they will support the destruction of Israel while disguised as a “deal with Iran.” Pablo Nankin, MD, Beverly Hills

Astrology
By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Apr. 24). Messages from parent to child will have a magical impact in May. June will bring dancing. New friends and possibly pets, too, will be featured in July. You’ll take a wild ride in August. Work gets better once you get educated. You’ll make more money where people skills and technical skills meet. Aries and Gemini people adore you. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). In entertainment, conflict is necessary for a good story. In life, not so much. In fact, the perfect amount of conflict for the story of this evening would be “none.” See what you can do to minimize the drama! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are in the mood to discover, and your preferred learning style lately is hands-on, with instruction. That’s one reason you'll be attracted to people who know what you’d like to know. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe you won’t be able to come up with the big idea, but don’t worry. Lots of small ideas are going to be more interesting to execute anyway. Plus you’ll get help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Socializing is supposed to be fun, so don’t let it get too labored. Stick with the conversation for as long as it’s juicy. When you feel like you’re down to the pulp and the peel, move along. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Tearing down the old to make room for the new is a process that has helped you in your work, and now it’s about to help you in your personal life, too. You’re ready to embrace a new identity and let go of who you were. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Using your body relaxes your mind. The reverse won’t be true (especially not with the intense mental activity this day will bring), and so the best thing you can do for your creativity and general mood is exercise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you think it’s true that you have to stop wanting something in order to get it? Unfortunately, it is difficult to consciously decide to no longer want something. Substitutions may keep you from holding on too tight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your favorite type of risk is a calculated one. You don’t mind slim odds; you just want to know exactly what they are. The most exciting journeys are the ones with no guarantee of success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Self-promotion works best when the work itself is what’s needed. That’s why you’re wise to find out what your crowd really wants before you try to market something less interesting to them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everything you do with your friends costs money. Step back and make a plan, because the evening will get financially out of control unless you have one. Your social life doesn’t have to be at odds with your financial life. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You’ve trumped up a fear in your mind. A small act of courage is all that will be necessary to dispel it. This will be like flicking on the lights--the scary shadows will disappear in an instant. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). When you get together with friends, prompt them to bring friends, too, and prepare to benefit in unforeseen ways. In fact, the more new people you meet the luckier you’ll be.
