By Laura Coleman Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich was awarded the “American Spirit Award” from the Caucus For Producers, Writers & Directors this month at The Beverly Hills Hotel for his efforts to stop runaway film production.

Antonovich highlighted the tremendous change that

has occurred over the years, resulting in increasing unemployment, shrinking local businesses, and weakening fiscal resources.

Experimental Stroke Drug Developed At Keck School

Stroke Treatment, Outcomes Shows Promise For Those With Lou Gehrig’s Disease Improve At Hospitals Participating USC’s Keck School of and director of the Zilkha In UCLA-Led Initiative Medicine neuroscientists have Neurogenetic Institute at USC. unlocked a piece of the puzzle in the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease—also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS—a debilitating neurological disorder that robs people of their motor skills. Their findings appear in the recent online edition of the Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States of America.

“We know both people and transgenic rodents afflicted with this disease develop spontaneous breakdown of the bloodspinal cord barrier, but how these microscopic lesions affect the development of the disease has been unclear,” said Berislav V. Zlokovic, M.D., Ph.D., the study’s principal investigator

“In this study, we show that early motor neuron dysfunction related to the disease in mice is proportional to the degree of damage to the blood-spinal cord barrier and that restoring the integrity of the barrier delays motor neuron degeneration.”

Zlokovic and colleagues found that an experimental drug now being studied in human stroke patients appears to protect the blood-spinal cord barrier’s integrity in mice and delay motor neuron impairment and degeneration. The drug, an activated protein C analog called 3K3A-APC, was developed by Zlokovic’s start-up biotechnology company, ZZ Biotech.

Administering a clot-dissolving drug to stroke victims quickly — ideally within the first 60 minutes after they arrive at a hospital emergency room — is crucial to saving their lives, preserving their brain function and reducing disability.

Given intravenously, tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) is currently the only FDA–approved therapy shown to improve outcomes for patients suffering acute ischemic stroke, which affects some 800,000 Americans annually.

Now, a UCLA-led study demonstrates that hospitals participating in the “Target: Stroke” national quality-improvement program have markedly increased the speed with which they treat stroke patients with tPA. Researchers looked at more than 1,000 hospitals participating in the initiative, which was conceived by UCLA faculty and is conducted in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

Study findings were published this week in JAMA, (Journal Of The American Medical Association).

Researchers report that at participating hospitals, the average time it took to deliver tPA to patients fell from 74 minutes to 59 minutes. This speedier treatment, they said, was accompanied by improved outcomes, including reduced mortality, fewer treatment complications and a greater likelihood that patients would go home after leaving the hospital instead of being referred to a skilled nursing facility for advanced rehabilitation.

“These findings reinforce the importance and clinical benefits of faster administration of intravenous tPA. Through this national initiative, more patients were able to be treated with this beneficial therapy and in a safer, more effective fashion,” said first author Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, UCLA’s Eliot Corday professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Science and director of the Ahmanson–UCLA Cardiomyopathy Center at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine.

The benefits of tPA in acute ischemic stroke are highly timedependent, and for more than a decade, guidelines have recom(see ‘STROKE TREATMENT,’ page 9)

WA R BU RTO N STUDY–“We found that the incidence of miscarriage revealed a striking seasonal pattern of variation,” said CHLA’s Dr. David Warburton (right). He lead a study showing that burning coal for domestic heating may contribute to early fetal death in Mongolia.

CHLA’s Warburton Leads Study Linking Coal-Burning Stove Pollutants To Miscarriages In Mongolia Burning coal for domestic heating may contribute to early fetal death according to a new study by experts from The Saban Research Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia – the coldest capital city in the world.

In a paper published today in the journal BMC Pregnancy And Childbirth, researchers report “alarmingly strong statistical correlations” between seasonal ambient air pollutants and pregnancy loss in Ulaanbaatar (UB), Mongolia.

UB has one of the highest levels of air pollution of all world capitals, with sulfide dioxide and particulate matter levels during winter months, which are up to 23 times World Health Organization standards. Air pollution in winter is largely caused by coal burning in Ger stoves (Ger refers to the traditional round, felt tent used as a portable residence by nomadic Mongolian people, but such stoves are also used in wooden houses within the Ger district.)

The scientists, led by David Warburton, OBE, DSc, MD, MMM, FRCP, FRCS, FRCPCH, professor of Pediatrics and Surgery at CHLA’s Saban Research Institute and USC’s Keck School of

Medicine, examined the association between spontaneous abortion (miscarriages) and seasonal variation of air pollutants. The measurements were gathered near the National Center for Maternal and Child Health (NCMCH)—which provides the majority of obstetric and gynecological services in UB—and compared to the medical records of 1,219 women in the region who had been admitted to the hospital between 2009 and 2011 due to fetal death prior to 20 weeks gestational age.

“We found that the incidence of miscarriage revealed a striking seasonal pattern of variation,” said Warburton.

While the overall rate of miscarriages (occurring in approximately 15 to 20 percent of pregnancies) reported in UB is similar to that of Western countries, including the U.S., the study showed that spontaneous abortion incidence per calendar month increased from 23 per 1,000 live births in May to 73 per 1,000 live births in Dec. 2011.

Monthly average ambient levels of air pollutants showed increases in relation to the duration of hours of darkness, as well as the coldest temperatures—when Ger heating stoves are used most.

How 2nd-Pregnancy Bedrest Effects Older Child, Getting 1st Grader To Do Homework On Her Own Q. Dear Dr. Fran: I am in my sixth month of pregnancy with our second baby and my doctor has put me on strict bedrest. Our 22-month-old daughter will likely feel the changes. She knows I am pregnant and constantly wants me to carry her instead of walking. What shall I do to ease the suffering on my daughter?

Susan B. A. Dear Susan: You’re in a tough spot because you’re very likely feeling well, but still your doctor wants you to be off your feet.

There are lots of ways to help your toddler daughter feel close and loved. Invite her to join you in your bed and snuggle in the afternoons. Let her watch TV with you and get cozy—even eating snack together in Mommy’s bed.

Prolonged bedrest risks negatively impacting the older firstborn child. I have treated many 2and 3-year-olds who have suffered the extended loss and abandonment of their mothers who while on bedrest cannot lift their toddlers or function in the regular normal way the child is used to.

That toddler not only must move over and share Mommy with the new baby (metaphorically lose Mommy), but in reality that older toddler really does lose Mommy for a significant period. The result can be devastating on the entire family.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: My 7-year-old daughter is finishing first grade and still demands that I sit with her when she does homework. How can I get her to let me go in the other room?

Vicki C. A. Dear Vicki: You are right to expect your 7-yearold to do her homework independently without Mommy glued to her side. My favorite time management strategy that can help kids when it comes to getting homework done is to use a 1-hour timer (easily purchased at the 99 Cent Store). This way you are not the “Homework Cop,” the buzzer become the “bad guy.”

Begin by setting your first grader up and sitting next to her for the first five minutes to get her

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions started. Then, tell her you will set the timer for 10 minutes for her to sit with her work on her own while you prepare dinner or do another activity in an adjacent room where she can see you.

Say to her: “When the buzzer goes off, homework time is finished.” She learns to sit on her own without Mommy glued to her side and begins to tolerate and foster her own autonomy.

Tell her that if she finishes her work before the buzzer goes off she can read and check that her work is correct (proofread).

As she grows you can extend the 10 minutes by five-minute intervals.

Yet despite the evidence, recommendations and prior efforts, a previous study by the team found that less than 30 percent of eligible patients were receiving the medication in that first hour. “Target: Stroke” was launched in 2010 to address this gap.

Jewish Community Children’s Choir Growing, To Perform At Holocaust Commemorations

Born out of a desire for diversity, in its three years, the Jewish Community Children’s Choir has grown to 40 members with a busy performance schedule and three major upcoming appearances..

• On Sunday, April 27, a group of choir members will perform at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust in Pan Pacific Park. (For information on the free program, 2-4 p.m., visit www.lamoth.org or call 323-651-3704.

A Schulweis Institute Program, the group draws members from Beverly Hills including Harkham Hillel Hebrew Acade- Michelle my, Los Angeles Green Willner and the valley.

“And I would love to get more members from Beverly Hills,” says Dr. Michelle Green Willner, the group’ artistic and musical director.

Joining is open to all Jewish children and involves an audition with Green Willner, “usually for vocal placement. I have yet to turn anyone away.”

Green Willner has found that the children in the group, 6-12 years old from across the board—home-schools, public

schools, private Jewish day schools, and charter schools —“have a serious commitment to singing.”

The repertoire, modern and ancient, sacred and secular, reflects Torah and Judaic values. For the Holocaust commemorations “the kids will be singing prayers for survival and a piece that discusses justice and peace,” Green Willner said.

“This is an historic appointment,” Board VP Brian Goldberg said Tuesday.

CITY COUNCIL WASTES HOURS ON FAKE FRACKING ISSUE (Continued from page 1)

Due to the absence of Councilwoman Krasne, the decision was made not to discuss the budget or any other issue of sufficient importance.

The fully-staffed council hearing became a de-facto celebration of “Earth Day” which unfortunately ignored the geology underneath Los Angeles. That geology, comprised mainly of alluvial sand deposits, is not appropriate for fracking. Fracking is used primarily in limestone. The remaining oil producer in Beverly Hills, Venoco, tells The Courier it does not have any plans for fracking now or in the future.

“All operations in Beverly Hills use conventional methods to produce the resources,” said Rock Zierman, CEO of the California Independent Petroleum Association. “No fracking has occurred or is planned, because the method is not needed to produce oil in Beverly Hills. In fact, there is no hydraulic fracturing the City of Los Angeles as well.

Over 95 percent of all fracking in California occurs in Kern County. So the Beverly Hills City Council vote is only a gesture and unfortunately, a gesture against a proven, safe technology we have used in Kern County without incident for 40 years.”

About 40 people attended the meeting and spoke in support of the ban.

Several people who said they were residents of Carson were fighting to ban fracking and acidizing in their own cities, citing reports of illnesses in University Park that residents blame on fracking. Many appeared on behalf of organized coalitions, such as Food & Water Watch and the Citizens Coalition for a Safe Community.

“In Beverly Hills in many cases people take potshots at us and call us NIMBYs. Well, we control land uses here,” said Councilman John Mirisch. “I don't think we're jumping in too early.”

Councilman Willie Brien agreed.

“Jumping in too early? Maybe fracking has come too soon. Maybe its the industry that has jumped in too early,” he said.

Vice Mayor Julian Gold said that fracking is not a “compatible land use underneath our homes, schools and businesses.”

The evening is presented by LA5, the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the LAPD Eagle & Badge Foundation, Richard Malchar and Arthur M. Kassel. LA5 is the oldest Rotary Club in Southern California.

Last year, Halimi oversaw the hugely successful Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accreditation at the high school.

“She knows this high school inside and out,” Boardmember Lewis Hall said.

Beverly Hills High School. The lease will run out in 2016 and will not be renewed.

“Veneco is not using the hydraulic fracturing process in Beverly Hills. Nor do we have plans to do so,” said Veneco Community Relations Manager Lisa Rivas.

Three other companies have oil extraction operations beneath City boundaries. They include FreeportMcMoran Copper and Gold Inc. at the Beverly Center on San Vicente, Pacific Coast Energy Company at Pico Boulevard and Doheny Drive and Hillcrest Beverly Oil Corporation at Pico Boulevard and Century Park East.

“We are not aware of any others than those,” said Beverly Hills City Attorney Larry Weiner. “If they drill through (with slant-drilling) they have to get permission from the City.”

The Pico and Doheny location was abandoned but “they came and got approval from City Council to drill 6-7 months ago.”

The City monitors for subsidence, or sinking that could occur when the material is extracted.

Most of those wells were sunk, “many, many years ago. They pay royalties to the property owners,” who own the mineral rights beneath the ground.

The easements are a private matter between two parties,” said Weiner.

“The Beverly Hills oil field is not conducive to fracking. There aren’t any firms doing fracking under our City,” said Weiner, pointing out that the oil is not the shale targeted by fracking.

It appears that Weiner was one of the few people in the meeting who had an understanding of the local geology and other issues regarding fracking.

Fracking has created more than half a million jobs recovering some 1,000 trillion cubic tons of shale oil in North America alone.

Fracking produces natural gas that is readily available and inexpensive, and that is domestically produced.

There is a wealth of natural gas in shale rock that could last more than 100 years at the current rate of consumption, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, making the U.S. energy independent, rather than depending on oil in the Middle East or Russia.

Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel, emitting far lower levels of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide compared to coal or oil.

MILKEN CONFERENCE STARTS SUNDAY IN BEVERLY HILLS (Continued from page 1)

which includes government officials, CEOs, scientists, educators and philanthropists, are former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, guru Deepak Chopra, Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, Gov. Jerry Brown, U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and actors Matt Damon and Charlize Theron.

“The Milken Institute utilizes its unique ability to convene leaders from across sectors and continents to extend our work addressing the core issues of access to capital, improving health care, and spurring job creation,” said Milken Institute CEO Mike Klowden.

“Our ability to bridge the words of

business, finance and policy has never been more vital.”

The conference has been held at The Beverly Hilton since 1999, a year after the first conference was held in 1998.

“We are honored to welcome global leaders and provide a physical space where such influential minds can come together and work to improve the lives and economic conditions of people in the U.S.,” Beverly Hilton General Manager Sandy Murphy told The Courier.

“Guests of the Milken Global Conference have expressed that one of the aspects of this conference that makes it so unique and enjoyable is the more relaxed, ‘California-feel’ atmosphere of the hotel and Beverly Hills.

B E V E R LY H I L L S R E A L E S TAT E 9900 SHORES UP DEMO PLANS, SALE (continued from page 1)

Kiggen headed up a presentation for the Board of Education on Tuesday, and another for El Rodeo families on Wednesday.

The 8-acre parcel sits directly across the street from El Rodeo Elementary School and is flanked

by The Beverly Hilton and the Los Angeles Country Club. Current owners Joint Treasure International, a Chinese group of investors from Hong Kong that are also the principal owners of The Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons, purchased the property in 2010 for an alleged $148.3 million.

An insider told The Courier last week that the sellers are looking for $300 million.

Plans for two condominium towers along with a mixed-use component designed by architect Richard Meier, who designed the Getty Center, have been in the works since 2008, following a

lengthy approval process. The majority of the 233 units will be two-bedroom residences with a generous 3,000-square-foot floor plan in a 13-story tower and a 16story tower.

Currently, construction is slated to start in Jan. 2015, with a proposed completion date of Nov. 2017.

On Wednesday, project construction manager Martin Sisemore, Rudolph and Sletten president, said that once permits come through from the City, a 12-foot wall would begin to be constructed around the property as early as next week in anticipation of removing asbestos and lead paint from the former department store building.

Following that, as soon as the Beverly Hills Unified School District school term ends on May 29, the demolition process will begin.

Therese Kosterman, public information manager for the City of Beverly Hills, said that an asbestos abatement permit would likely be

BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | APRIL 25, 2014 Page 14

ready next week and a demolition permit ready in May. Sisemore, whose company worked on the Beverly Hills High School Science and Technology Center and the Beverly Vista modernization project, emphasized that every safety precaution would be taken and underscored that the two previous BHUSD projects occurred while school was in session.

As part of a contractual understanding, all demolition work will occur during the summer break before students return to El Rodeo in August.

No information has been provided about managing traffic on Wilshire Boulevard, a main artery for business, tourist and residential access to and from Beverly Hills Superintendent Gary Woods said: “We will work closely with the City and the team responsible for the abatement work to ensure a safe and secure environment. The air monitoring systems on site and around the El Rodeo site will provide us with additional safeguards.”

NEW NEIGHBORS–Mayor Lili Bosse (center) was on hand last week to cut the ribbon for the official opening of Comoncy, a new café at 413 N. Bedford Dr. The restaurant features specialty coffee and tea beverages and a European-style breakfast and lunch menu. Comoncy is a creation of the Coral Tree Café group. Sales of the day benefitted the Lynne Cohen Foundation Kickin’ Cancer.

National Association Of Realtors Reports Existing Home Sales Remain Soft In March

By Laura Coleman The National Association of Realtors announced this week that home sales dipped last month, propelled by declines in the west and south.

“There really should be stronger levels of home sales given our population growth,” said NAR chief economist

Lawrence Yun. “In contrast, price growth is rising faster than historical norms because of inventory shortages.”

First-time buyers accounted for 30percent of purchases in March, up from 28-percent in February; they were 30percent in March 2013.

All-cash sales comprised 33-percent of transactions in March, compared with 35 percent in February and 30-percent in March 2013.

Yun said he expected improvement in the months ahead. “ W i t h ongoing job creation and some weather delayed shopping activity, home sales should pick up, especially if inventory continues to improve and mortgage interest rates rise only modestly.”

he Rodeo Drive Committee and the city of Beverly Hills will commemorate the city’s centennial with this remarkable block party celebration for residents and visitors from 3:30-8 p.m., Sunday, April 27, spanning the 200, 300, and 400 blocks of Rodeo Drive.

It’s A Party

The block party will feature a 15,000-slice birthday cake; a Taste of Beverly Hills festival with some of the city’s legendary restaurants, carnival rides and games, including two four-story Ferris Wheels that will spell out 1-0-0; a 20-piece dance band and a fireworks grand finale.

The BH100 Centennial Block Party on Rodeo Drive celebrates Beverly Hills Independence Day, which recognizes the historic vote on April 24, 1923 when Beverly Hills residents voted to remain a separate city, rather than be annexed to the city of Los Angeles.

“The BH100 Centennial Block Party is a wonderful occasion to remember Beverly Hills Independence Day with our city’s residents and visitors,” says Beverly Hills Mayor Lili Bosse.

“That time in Beverly Hills’ history when the community united to keep its unique identity is really something to celebrate. And Rodeo Drive, at the heart of our city, is the perfect place to host this celebration.”

Entertainment

• R&B singer Martha Reeves will be on hand to celebrate the event theme, “Dancin’ In The Street,” with a performance of the famed song, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Fireworks

• At 7:45 p.m., a fireworks grand finale will take place above Rodeo Drive. The show will include a five-minute program, which will feature more than 3,500 low-level pyrotechnic devices, designed by Pyro Spectaculars by Souza timed to some of the most memorable dance music of the last 100 years. The fireworks finale will also pay tribute to dancer and actor Gene Kelly, who lived on Rodeo Drive for more than 40 years.

• 135 lbs. Guittard Collection Etienne Semisweet Chocolate Baking Bars 64 percent Cacao • 360 lbs. of powdered sugar • 40 lbs. of Guittard Collection Etienne White Chocolate Wafers 31 percent Cacao • 55 lbs. of Guittard Collection Etienne Semisweet Chocolate Wafers 61 percent Cacao

8) Allow cakes to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until completely cold. About 1 hour.

Chef Wressell’s tips: 1) Letting the cake batter rest for 30 minutes before baking allows the leavening to settle down and prevents the fast rise and then sinking of the center of the cake.

2) Line a sheet tray with parchment and sprinkle with granulated sugar before inverting the cooled cake layers and placing in the refrigerator. The sugar prevents the cake from sticking.

64% Ganache Ingredients: Collection Etienne Chocolate Baking Bars Semisweet 64%, chopped - 2 -6-oz packages or 6 -2-oz. bars 35% cream or heavy whipping cream - 1 1/4 cup Invert sugar or light corn syrup - 2 TB Unsalted butter, softened - 3 oz. or 6 TB Method: 1) Boil cream with the corn syrup.

2) Pour cream into a bowl with the chopped chocolate. Let stand for 3 minutes.

3) Stir with a rubber spatula to create an emulsion.

4) Add the butter and stir.

5) Pour chocolate into a shallow flat glass baking dish.

Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thin and warm, about 115°F. 2) Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk on high speed in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Continue beating on low speed until cool, about 10 minutes.

3) Add small pieces of the cool, softened butter on low speed. Gradually whisk in the melted and cooled white chocolate.

4) Continue to whip on medium until buttercream is smooth and shiny.

Cake Assembly 1) Using a serrated knife, level the tops of both cakes.

2) Cut both cakes in half horizontally, creating 2 layers for a total of 4 layers.

3) Place 1 layer of cake on a cardboard circle.

4) Put 1/3 of the ganache on the cake and spread uniformly to coat.

5) Carefully place second cake layer on the ganache and repeat until you have 4 layers of cake sandwiched with 3 layers of ganache.

The sculpture and tiles that make up the design and its base pay homage to the founding of the city. It was built on land donated by the Rodeo Land and Water Company and features a statue of a Tongva (a member of the local Native American tribe) kneeling in prayer. Erected in 1931 and funded by the Beverly Hills Women’s Club, the fountain was designed by architect Ralph Carlin Flewelling. The sculpture at the top was designed by Robert Merrell Gage.

CAROL BOVE SCULPTURE HEADED TO BEVERLY GARDENS PARK (Continued from page 4)

“Beverly Hills is indeed fortunate that we will soon have the opportunity to enjoy this extraordinary sculpture in our own Beverly Gardens Park.”

The site in the park was approved 3-2 in the Recreation and Parks Commission (RPC).

The sculpture is part of Bove’s steel glyph series and will be constructed of white powder coated steel. The materials are expected to be durable enough to withstand public interaction without protective measures.

“Kids are absolutely going to climb on it,” said RPC commissioner Robbie Anderson.

He expressed concern that the item would become damaged or vandalized, as has been the

spay-neuter funds, animal cruelty issues, prohibiting declawing, cockfighting bans, and micro-chipping.

“Animals cannot speak for themselves on legislative issues that directly affect their welfare. That's why organizations like the HSLF are so critically important. I look forward to being a strong advocate for animal welfare in Congress on issues like cruelty in domesticated animals, protecting endangered species and wildlife habitats, and humane treatment of farm animals.”

Supervisors unanimously approved Antonovich’s motion to launch an aggressive effort to halt the flight of film and television production industry.

“California needs to aggressively pursue incentives ... by offering generous economic benefits,” he said. case with Kusama’s Hymn of Life.

Measuring 100” x 100”, the cost of the work will not exceed $235,000, including shipping and installation, taken from the Fine Art Fund. The balance of the fund is about $1.28 million.

“The Carol Bove sculpture will be a fabulous addition to public art in our City. It is a whimsical piece by a highly respected artist. The art commission did a wonderful job finding art that will stand the test of time that our community will be proud to own,” said Mayor Lili Bosse.

Art Forum, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker and The New York Times have all lauded Bove’s work.

Some of the museums that have exhibited Bove’s largescale projects include the Museum of Modern Art and the High Line in New York and the Documenta in Germany.

Sepulveda Blvd.

Published at the height of the American civil rights movement, Keats’ landmark book The Snowy Day (1962) represents an historic milestone, featuring the first African American protagonist in a full-color children’s picture book. Many peo-

ple have assumed it’s author must be black. Not so. Keats grew up a poor immigrant Jewish kid in the rough streets of Brooklyn. The gritty, urban worlds he recreates in his books (in glowing colors and textures) share much with his own youth.

3. Set reasonable limits for how much time children can spend online and limit the websites they are allowed to access.

4. Use your Internet Ser vice Provider’s parent controls and take advantage of the widely accessible content filters, pop-up blockers, and monitoring resources and software available to parents.

“With all of these amazing resources under one roof, families may learn how to supplement a core subject area or how to better manage a especially people they don’t know.

9. Find out where your child has Internet access… schools, libraries, community centers, friends’ homes.

Whenever possible, ask what kind of safety measurements are in place to protect children.

10. Check your Internet browser’s history regularly to be sure there are no dangerous or inappropriate sites being visited.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 25). Something gets settled in the next 3-weeks, and you this is a good omen for future business. In May, you’ll communicate from the heart and start an exciting chapter in love. June and July are for building what will be in your family for generations to come. In September, you’ll be well paid for solving a problem. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Your patience is legendary. Here you go again, sticking with projects after others would have given up.

Someone is falling in love with your quiet strength and fortitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In some ways, you feel like you’ve been punished in the past. So it’s only right you should now be rewarded for the adjustments you’ve made. You’ll like how this reward unfolds.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s an interpersonal volley in both work and play, and you have a talent for serving up something that’s easily returned. The better you interact with others the more successful you’re likely to be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a low tolerance for the kind of surprises and spontaneous changes that come from an unorganized system. You’d rather spend hours creating a better system than running with one you don't trust.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There will be eager pupils around you. You are willing to share and help, but not all of your methods will work for others. Their development will happen in stages.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t be too quick to give up what you have to gain for what you don’t. Look deeply into the trade offered. Values that matter most are not so obviously determined.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s nothing static about relationships. You expect changes and structure your life accordingly.

The smart way is to check in often but not obviously to assess how things are working.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be rather selective about what you pay attention to, and that is only smart. Why learn what you can’t apply? Once you see the practicality in a solution, you’’ll be eager to know more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). By not missing an opportunity to be generous, you may feel compelled to give more than necessary or even appropriate–it’s not a move you’ll regret.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You have a talent for putting the right people together, creating scenarios that never could have happened without your expertise, instinct and involvement.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You’re no party animal, but have mastered the secret to maintaining a 310.275.0579 • 434 N. CANON DRIVE robust social life that many party animals mess up time and again: MON. - THURS. 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM You go home when you’re tired.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Make FRI. & SAT. 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM things simple for all: Give to yourI TA L I A N R E S TA U R A N T self. It would be helpful to your loved ones because they no longer have to guess about what you need to make you happy.

Frances Allen Desert Roundup You wouldn’t hire a plumber who did not have the proper tools for the job. Neither would you trust your car to a mechanic bewildered by the complexity of a modern car’s dashboard. But, while it maybe too late for the plumber and mechanic to re-learn their trade, it is not too early for our children to acquire the tools they will need to fulfill their vision of the future.

That’s the goal of Tools For Tomorrow, a no-cost, on-site, after school literacy enrichment program integrating writing, drama, art and music for elementary school children, in grades 3 to 5, in the Coachella Valley. Its unique curriculum integrates creative writing, art, music and drama, with the children learning the fundamentals of the disciplines as they create their own works in each.

Founded in 1999, the Tools for Tomorrow program serves 600 children in nine schools across the Coachella Valley, with a staff of professional teachers as well as guest artists and people who have learned life’s lessons the best way possible: living life.

While experiencing the fun of learning, the children are developing the cognitive, multi-sensory, social, creative and critical thinking skills necessary to successful achievement in the classroom as well as in their communities. And, it’s an integrated learning expeTOOLS FOR rience, with TOMORROW – Jennie Inch (left), each Tools For To m o r r o w chair of the program conVision- aries, a taining three support group components: and Ed DiNicola, executive director creative writing, art and of Tools For music.

Tomorrow.

Maybe it’s because so many Coachella Valley residents have grandchildren, but child-focused, non-profits have always been well-received with strong financial and personal support.

One major supporter is Donna MacMillan, a “quiet philanthropist” whose extensive art collection has been donated to the Palm Springs Art Museum, where she sits on the board as well as on the boards of the McCallum Theatre, the Palm Springs Film Festival and College of the Desert. It is most appropriate, therefore, that Donna is the recipient of the Tools For Tomorrow’s 2014 Vision for the Future Award, not only in recognition of her generous philanthropy, but also for her advocacy on behalf of the arts in education.

More information about how it provides a child with a full toolbox with which to build a beneficial life, is at 760-601-3954.

Goldberg said. “This sends a message to our parents that they need to take responsibility to ensure their kids are not only lice-free, but nit-free before they come back to school.”

Nits, which are brown in color, are the eggs or young forms of a louse and are generally considered the most difficult aspect of lice removal.

The change comes on the heels of a lice outbreak at Beverly Vista last month, where five students contracted head lice.

Applicants were interviewed over the course of two study sessions this week and were asked questions ranging from their ability to disclose possible conflicts of interest to how their expertise would be of use.

The board is required under Proposition 39 to fill at least four open positions immediately. Additionally, four current members will be terming out over the next year, from October to February.

At least four current members will be ending their terms and stepping down this year.

“We may decide to stack the COC now,” Margo said, noting that district counsel is reviewing protocol to ensure compliance with Prop 39. “I think a transition period would be the right thing to do....[in order to preserve] institutional knowledge.”

Senior Sarah Peskin told The Courier she created the festival last year as a way to display great student art and take on a leadership role.

“I consider it my baby,” she said.

PUBLIC NOTICES NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE File No. 7233.25624 Title Order No. NXCA-0129335 MIN No. APN 5554-010-053 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 03/03/05.

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. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in §5102 to the Financial code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the obligation secured by said Deed of Trust. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Trustor(s): MICHELLE MARSHALL Recorded: 03/25/05, as Instrument No. 05 0697441, of Official Records of Los Angeles County, California. Date of Sale: 05/08/14 at 1:00 PM Place of Sale: In the main dining room of the Pomona Masonic Temple, located at 395 South Thomas Street, Pomona, CA The purported property address is: 1233 N LAUREL AVE APT 205, West Hollywood, CA 90046 Assessors Parcel No. 5554-010-053 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 $98,423.58. 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, plus interest. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the beneficiary, the Trustor or the trustee.

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 877-484-9942 or 800280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site w w w . U S A Foreclosure.com or www.Auction.com using the file number assigned to this case 7233.25624.

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.

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH

A FEW PARTING THOUGHTS TO THE CITY I LOVE This is most likely my final editorial as publisher of The Beverly Hills Courier. For those who enjoy this column, thank you for the support. For those who don’t, thank you for reading it anyway.

Beverly Hills is a truly remarkable enclave of dedicated and committed people. First and foremost is the spirit of community. This is a town people love and it’s easy to love Beverly Hills.

The love comes from the people and their concern for one another, not from the incredible wealth amassed by the City and by many in it. There are other rich places in the world, but not many are motivated by as much civic concern and outright generosity as Beverly Hills.

The concern and generosity are shown in real life in real time by the constant financial gifts to charities and by the gift of time to the community if you don’t have the bank account. Many contribute both. Often the form of the giving is a charity ball at The Beverly Hilton, The Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons or The Beverly Hills Hotel. As publisher, I never saw any reason to penalize people for giving while having a good time. Volunteerism finds one of its most obvious expressions in the endless hours devoted by so many people in this community to organizing and holding these events. Without these there would not be the tens of millions of dollars that go to support hospitals, medical research, education, help for the homeless and the battered, Rotary’s battle to end worldwide polio and to provide clean water–the list is endless. (Anyone who has been honored by an organization also knows that the honoree is supposed to sell tables to the event. That’s just fine – whatever works.)

On the quieter side is the pure charity of philanthropy. We see daily multiple examples of good works performed by many in our community, but quietly and with a minimum of recognition.

While the charities seem to be constantly asking for more donations, and we citizens are hounded daily to pay more taxes, what is nearly always overlooked is just how certain individuals came to amass enough of a fortune to be a major – or minor – donor or honoree. That story is seldom told or appreciated. Instead, we hear of “income inequality” and the vital necessity of punishing those who produce and achieve by stripping them of what they earned. That’s really sad, but it is a human trait. Apparently, it is significant enough to rate TWO “thou shalt nots” in the Torah’s Ten Commandments . . . something about “steal” and “coveting.” Please explain the difference between a bunch of us getting together to “vote” to take away someone else’s property and, instead, just putting a gun to his (or her) head and saying: “Give me your money or I’ll shoot you”?

Our American system up to now has encouraged and allowed individuals with all sorts of skills and dreams to build and prosper. Without those individuals taking risks, showing up for work every day, and sticking with it, there would be no money to support charity. Our community politically often fails to understand that you cannot give unless you have, and you cannot have unless you earn. You also cannot have money to give unless you can keep what you earn.

Tithing is not 65-percent taxation, it’s supposed to be 10-percent. That’s the result of the gang “voting.” Is that “equality”? Hardly.

This City has its wealthy, but it also has its not wealthy. 90210 may be the stuff of legends, but 90211 and 90212 seem pretty middle American. They are often overlooked, but if they attend one of these charity events they typically get the top row at the Hilton, not the floor seats.

Still, they try to be there and support good works to the best of their abilities.

The Courier has tried to emphasize the balance between giving and enabling people so they can give. We now have 65-percent taxation or greater when you take into account all the taxes embedded in what we spend in addition to direct taxes.

All of us know the fable of killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Well, by any objective means we’re sure making it hard for the goose to lay those eggs.

Beverly Hills has an impact out of all proportion to its population. We at The Courier call it the “Most important City in the world with the smallest population.”

At The Courier, we see, hear and research all sorts of things. We get your tips constantly.

Reporting on unpleasant things is not pleasant but it has been our duty.

We believe our duty also includes emphasizing the good. About 95-percent of The Courier for the last 10 years has been about “the good.” That part we really like. During this time, we believe our newspaper has done its duty regardless of the consequences. That is our gift to the people and your gift to us has been the steadfast reader loyalty and trust you have placed in The Courier.

The Courier really does try to look out for the little guy, encourage the bigger guy, recognize and thank all who contribute, stop government from inflicting its schemes on us, and above all demonstrate a deep-seated and long-lasting affection and love for Beverly Hills.

P.S.: Of all the people I wish to thank, Rabbi Jack and Margie Pressman have to be at the top of the list. From Jack’s columns to Margie’s advice to the Seders my family and I celebrated in their home–nobody could be more blessed by their friendship than me.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman HAPPY 100 TO OUR FAIR CITY My column will be remiss if I did not share that we’re celebrating the 100th-birthday of Beverly Hills. Our family settled in here in 1946, which means that we have been denizens of our City for 68 of those 100 years. Our first address was a beautiful two-story house of British-style on the corner of Palm Drive and Gregory Way. Even our family back in the east was impressed with our adopted address in the west.

From it, our children were able to walk to the Beverly Hills schools from which all three graduated. My wife and I feel very grateful with the elementary and high-school education they received in our fair City.

It would be safe to say that we even remind you that one of our children, our late son Joel, taught in the Beverly Hills High School almost from the time he graduated college in Los Angeles.

His demise recently was keenly felt at the BHHS, where he was an extremely popular and influential member of the faculty.

From our present home on Lasky Drive, we can see and hear the Beverly Hills High School. And the 100th-birthday of our fair City is a matter of great pride and importance to us. The birthday cake, which will be eaten this Sunday on Rodeo Drive, will have 15,000 slices, which means at least one slice for every family. So happy 100th to our illustrious town!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Congrats to The Courier for once again stepping up to defend us against Metro. We said we’d take the subway and all its problems for the good of the region, but no one ever agreed to Metro’s “bait and switch” under our high school. Now, Metro wants to rip up our City, not tell us what it is doing or even tell us when it will get done. That’s absurd. Why should anyone trample on our rights when all we ask is for them to tell us what and when they are doing something? It’s real easy for people who won’t suffer to say “go ahead.” It’s another thing when it’s YOU who has to suffer the burden. We just ask Metro to take reasonable steps to mitigate what it will do. What’s wrong with that?
