Over the course of the Beverly

Tool To Determine Place Of Origin To Help Determine Ethnicities’ Drug Risk, Sensitivity Biogeographical data is useful in screening for disease risk and drug sensitivity associated with certain ethnic groups. A team of researchers, including an investigator from Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has developed a tool to accurately identify the biogeography of worldwide individuals.

Tatiana Tatarinova, PhD, of CHLA’s Saban Research Institute; Eran Elhaik, PhD, of the University of Sheffield and colleagues developed an admixturebased Geographic Population Structure (GPS) tool that uses genetic distribution and geographical distance to determine place of origin, specifically the country, or in some cases, the village of origin.

Their study was published in this week’s journal Nature Communications .

“We were surprised by the simplicity and precision of this method,” said Tatarinova, who is also an associate professor of Research Pediatrics at USC’s Keck School of Medicine.

Using a database of worldwide populations, investigators developed a dataset of genetically diverse reference populations that have been geographically localized for centuries. With the GPS tool, investigators were able to take unknown samples, identify the proportions of admixture—meaning, genetic characteristics specific to certain ethnic groups that were combined because of events like migration or invasion—and then calculate the distance to the nearest

known population that shares the same admixture signature, to identify place of origin.

According to the researchers, in ethnically diverse regions like the U.S., where many Dr. Tatiana Tatarinova people know only a few generations of their descendants, this kind of screening has important medical implications. Discovery of a certain genotype might indicate the potential for a genetic disease and suggest that diagnostic testing be done.

Also, as scientists learn more about personalized medicine, there is evidence that specific genotypes respond differently to medications-making this information useful when selecting the most effective therapy and appropriate dosing.

Genetic diseases are not the only driving force behind the development of GPS, according to Tatarinova. With a growing interest in genealogy, more and more individuals are seeking information on their ancestral roots. Tatarinova has developed the website www.prosapia.org to allow anyone who previously obtained a DNA genotype to use the GPS tool to find their country or even village of origin.

On Dancing In The Aisles; Strong Families, No Tower Of Hope Gala May 7 To Matter Their Makeup, Result In Happy Children Honor Julian Gold, Randall Katz Q, Dear Dr. Fran: We have been working with my 8-year-old son on appropriate behavior. We have talked with him about not dancing in the aisles at church; but the older women in the congregation egg him on. How can I politely ask them to back me up in front of my son instead of undermining me? I am hoping to raise a respectful man here, not a boy child.

Jonelle A. A. Dear Jonelle: I understand your feelings of being undermined by these women; but, in fact, you may be giving them too much power. You are the parent and must position yourself as a higher authority than the women at church.

It’s a good idea to consider why your son feels the impulse to dance in the aisles at church. Is he seeking attention? Could it be hard for him to sit still? Is he bored by the sermon? Might he be defying your rules? Try to explore the root cause of his disinhibition.

Then, set up a positive incentive program with your 8-year-old. Tell him if he can demonstrate good sitting from beginning to end in church you will treat him to lunch after the service and “he” will choose the restaurant. Give him permission to tap his foot in rhythm to the choir singing music when he feels like moving.

If he cannot control himself and he gets up to dance in the aisles, take him out of church until the music stops. Be sure that your attitude is calm and non-judgmental. A + B = C. If you disrupt in church, you must leave.

When the singing stops, go back in and try again. If you have to take him out he loses lunch in the restaurant, but gets another chance to earn it next Sunday. Keep it positive and praise every increment toward expected appropriate behavior.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: I’m a single mom raising my 4 year-son. It’s just the two of us. Do you think he has a chance of growing up just as happy as other kids who have a mom, dad, and siblings?

Roberta F.

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions A. Dear Roberta, I have long speculated the same findings of a new study published just this week that states: “It doesn’t matter whether a child lives with a single parent or two bio parents, or with a parent and a stepparent—as long as the family relationship is strong the child will be happy. Good relationships with siblings, no bullying at school also contribute.”

To be a good parent, one must be comfortable balancing two things at the same time—love/nurture and limits/boundaries.

Each parent must be emotionally available to the child with continuity (no breaches or disruptions caused by travel or regular fighting).

Emotionally available means the parent follows the child’s lead with interest and curiosity and praises every increment in the child toward his or her autonomy and independence.

Always remember tip #1—Be kind to your child. That’s a given to most of us, but we are living in stressful times. People are tugged in many different directions with tight financial strains and overhead. Don’t make your child pay the price.

It is also important to recognize that every boy and girl wants (and needs) a male and female influence to identify with a respected idealized samesex figure. If there is no father in the home, sign your child up for Big Brothers of America or encourage your child to develop and build a relationship with an uncle, grandfather, or coach to complete his own male self-identification.

“If the community agrees, this location provides easy access to parking, great walkability from many areas of the City, has no noise, traffic or parking impacts and is being proposed on land that the community already owns that is currently available for public use and enjoyment,” Bosse said.

A proposal for the City’s first dog park has been a long time coming, but figuring out just where to locate the canine play area has addled policy makers and community members who have still not achieved consensus.

Staff and the Recreation and Parks Commission have formally discussed the concept of an off-leash dog area on five past occasions between Feb.

Staff also presented the topic to City Council on three occasions between Oct. 23, 2012 and Feb. 5, 2013. In February 2013, the City Council scrapped plans to house an open space for dogs on an underutilized croquette court at Roxbury Park, despite widespread support for that location.

“A City dog park for Beverly Hills is a no-brainer,” said Bill Crowe, director, The Pet Care Foundation / PETS 90210.

“There are so many dog people in this City. All you have to do is look around and you'll see literally hundreds of people walking their dogs in this City.

They need a place to take them where they can run and play.

This is the perfect location, size and it's time to do it.”

Community members are encouraged to come to Tuesday’s City Council meeting at 7 p.m. to voice their opinions.

UNFUNDED PENSION LIABILITY RISES TO $126 MILLION (Continued from page 1)

An unfunded pension liability is essentially an amount by which future pension obligations exceed the present funds available to fund them.

City Treasurer Eliot Finkel said a number of factors come into play when considering Beverly Hills’ rapidly escalating pension shortfall.

Not the least of which is poor investment returns from the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), which posted a dismal one percent return on its investments in the 2012 fiscal year, growing CalPERS’ debt by about $15 billion.

That was well below CalPERS’ 7.5 percent goal, although Finkel says even that estimate is a bit lofty.

“That’s more than they’ve made in the last 10 years.”

Finkel said.

According to Beverly Hills’ Chief Financial Officer Don Rhoads, the single biggest factor in whether PERS has a good return on its investments is the condition of the stock market.

That presents a problem for California taxpayers, who are left to foot the bill when

MILKEN CONFERENCE RETURNS TO CITY (Continued from page 1)

California President Janet Napolitano emphasized that the reason that the U.S. had ceded its economic hegemony was because there was too little investment in education.

In “China in Transition: Still a Land of Opportunity?” former U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said that it was crucial that China figure out a new economic model of growth.

While Chinese consumption, fueled by a rising middle class, is growing quicker than anywhere else, Paulson warned that it is not growing as quickly as it needs to.

Robert Iger, chairman/CEO

CalPERS’ projections come up short.

“There’s no moral hazard with the PERS board.” Finkel told The Courier. “They’re all government employees. They say ‘Let’s assume we’re going to make 20 percent. If we’re wrong, the tax payers will pick up the tab.’ That’s the last thing you ever want.”

Another cause of inflating pension costs is the City’s previous obligations to retired employees. All “classic PERS members”, meaning those hired before January 2013, retired with “3 percent at 50”, which means when they retire at age 50, the City calculates the employee’s highest base salary during their career and pays them 3 percent for every year served.

The City now has a “3 percent at 55” tier for public safety employees hired after July 2012, while public safety employees hired after January 2013 receive “2.7 percent at age 57.”

For non-public safety, or “miscellaneous” employees hired after 2013, that obligation has been lowered from “2.5 percent at 55” to “2 percent at 62.”

Rhoads said agreements have recently been phased in with public safety employees to of The Walt Disney Company, whose company is banking on the success of its $5.5 billion Shanghai Disneyland project, scheduled to open next year, estimated that 330 million people who could afford to visit the new Disneyland live within a three-hour trip to the park.

The power of social media and the internet, as well as the drive for freedom and human rights stood at the forefront of “Progress vs. Pessimism in the Middle East,” where panelists agreed that change would inevitability come, in the longterm, to a region mired in conflict and repressive regimes.

“It’s a struggle aroundmodernity,” said Tony Blair, former prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

BEVERLY HILLS pay a portion of their required eight percent annual contribution to CalPERS. The City currently pays that full eight percent contribution for non-safety employees and police and fire each pay one percent. By 2015, each will pay three percent. Police will pay four percent by 2016.

Last year, the City Council allocated $1 million to go toward the unfunded pensions and Rhoads said the Council “will be looking at options for further action in the upcoming budget sessions.”

So what does it all mean? Is the City about to sink under the weight of its unfunded liabilities? Not likely, says Finkel. The City is still flush with cash as revenues continue to rise.

“We’re actually better off than most, I think. We’re not going to go broke, but it’s going to have to be dealt with.” Finkel said.

One bit of good news that could help the City in its next financial report is that CalPERS did a huge turnaround in the 2013 fiscal year, seeing a 13 percent return on its investments. Rhoads said he didn’t have an estimate regarding how much that would possibly reduce Beverly Hills’ unfunded pension liabilities.

In “Global Governance: Which System Will Thrive?”

Harvard University professor Niall Ferguson warned that the U.S. recent show of weakness with respect to both the South China Seas and Russia’s stance on Ukraine could have “disastrous” effects, even this year.

Other speakers included California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Gensler Co-CEO Andy Cohen, Trulia Chief Economist Jed Kolko, Chairman/CEO of MDC Holdings Larry Mizel and John Kelly III, senior VP and director of IBM Research.

Beverlywood Homeowners Call Out Koretz, Planning Commission on JMB Realty

By Victoria Talbot In a scathing letter to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, City Attorney Michael Feuer, Councilmember Paul Koretz and members of the Los Angeles Planning Commission, Beverlywood Homes Association attorney Benjamin Reznik calls the planning process in regards to the JMB development “hijacked.”

Reznik says that it represents “private and confidential deals struck between the developer and the community” in a “shadow planning process” that robs individuals and groups “of their First Amendment rights to speak in opposition.”

Homeowners met with L.A. City Councilman Paul Koretz last month to ask for support. They were disappointed.

Koretz is also facing angry residents in Bel Air, besieged by runaway, oversized developments that leave streets pothole, block access for years at a time in a fire-sensitive area and create unstable conditions from excessive excavation and development on the hillsides.

One home will be 97,00 sq. ft,

We Will File Your DBA for FREE! Please Call 310.278.1322

twice the size of the White House and bigger than the Bel Air Hotel.

The Planning Commission hearing is Thursday, May 8.

Reznik represents the Beverlywood community of 1,350 homes and approximately 4000 residents directly south of Beverly Hills and Century City, where the development is being proposed. The neighborhood currently handles 30,000 daily car trips, two-thirds of which are drivethrough traffic from Century City/Beverly Hills to the Santa Monica freeway. The proposed development, which consists of a 37-story, 700,000 sq. ft. office tower, additional oneand two-story buildings totaling 25, 830 sq. ft., a 1,300 sq.

ft. Mobility Hub, a Transit Plaza, 4,120 sq. ft. of retail space and 1, 579 subterranean parking spaces, would double the “cut-through” traffic.

The structure’s supporters point to 35,000-square feet of open space, and the LEED Platinum design standards, as well as its alternative transportation capabilities.

The building is designated to become the Century City Station for the Purple Line Extension in a public-private partnership with Metro, if the project goes beneath Beverly Hills High School.

However, approval of the project density is based on a modification of the Century City North Specific Plan (CCNSP), wherein every prop-

erty owner received an allocation of development rights based on square footage, usage and trip generation models and defined development rights as determined by traffic generation. JMB claims that formula is outdated and needs to change.

JMB has proposed a formula to allow them to build two and a half times the allowable space under the CCNSP. That in turn, said Reznik, will set a precedent for all buildings to do the same, removing the cap on development.

Four Westside homeowners groups, Tract 7260, California Country Club Homes Assn., Cheviot Hills Homeowners Assn. and Westwood Homeowners Assn., reached a confidential settle-

ment with the Constellation Park developers, Century City realty LLC, a subsidiary of JMB Realty Corporation, which places $2.25 million in mitigation funds, bringing the total mitigation fund to $7.25 million.

Reznik wants the settlements be made public. “We ask that you require those groups that are signatories to such agreements with this developer and who publicly state their support for this project disclose the terms and benefits of their agreement,” wrote Reznik. Otherwise, the planning process will be reduced to a sham.”

had no idea that when the City Council last year directed the chamber to further localize its “Shop Local” campaign, the chamber would utilize a portion of funding to create a new website. The chamber failed to mention that it would be building a website.

To design the website, the chamber hired Imaginate Media, which is owned by Craig Liberman, who served as a consultant to EA Games on its “Need For Speed” franchise, in addition to numerous TV shows.

On Wednesday, the chamber proposed further ramping up the website by augmenting its viewership base (currently just a handful) by purchasing at least 50,000 emails; placing Facebook and pay-per-click ads; and distributing branded tote bags to consumers.

“U.S. public schools teach minimal technology while many tech firms lament a lack of students versed in STEM or more recently STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math),” said Laurie and Seth Finn, Digital Dragon owners.

“Digital Dragon is an opportunity for students to gain valuable exposure to the technology universe,” said the Finns. “We have been playing with the idea of opening an enrichment studio for kids for a while. Our 11-year-old son is interested in all things technology; and we just couldn’t find a techfocused enrichment program for him during the school year,” they said. “We think there are other families like us out there; and we welcome them into our studio.”

Digital Dragon classes are developed to offer kids a well-rounded education, enabling them to program games, mods, bots, toys, apps, videos, music and art. Students will be able to explore making and printing in the 3D realm with Sketchup and Adobe Photoshop, learn animation via Adobe Flash and use the latest Lego (see ‘DIGITAL DRAGON,’ page 19)

With Halstrom Academy, Young Television, Film Actor Gets Most Out Of School, Life or 15-year-old Halstrom Academy freshmen Kayla Carlson, life is busy and full, and she is loving it all. This part-time TV and film actor and full-time high school student finds time to make the most out of all aspects of her life.

Looking at Kayla’s IMDb resume, which includes a host of films and TV shows – including a guest star appearance on CSI: New York—one might wonder if Kayla had any time for school. But for Kayla, school is as big a part of her life as her acting and modeling career.

With Halstrom Academy and its one- to-one student to teacher classroom ratio and flexible scheduling options, Kayla doesn’t have to compromise in any area of her life.

“I love school,” says Kayla. “At Kayla Carlson Halstrom Academy, the teachers get to of each other. know students and are able to craft “With the 1:1 classrooms, stuteaching to each student’s interests.”

Kayla says she likes all of her subjects because teachers make them interesting. Through her cultural geography class, she connected with a women’s rights activist in New York who has been able to open her eyes and teach her more about women’s rights issues around the world.

Outside of the classroom and her busy acting and modeling schedule, Kayla finds time for watercolor painting and creative writing.

She is also a member of the math club, and is part of a newly formed dance and theatre group which gives her PE credits as well as an opportunity to work with fellow Halstrom Academy students.

“I really love the students at Halstrom. Even if kids don’t have the same interests, everyone is supportive

Joan Mangum The John Wayne Cancer Institute Auxiliary held its 29th Odyssey Ball at The Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons.

The Nelson and Winnie Mandela family was honored with the True Grit Humanitarian Award, while their fellow South African Anton J. Bilchik, MD, PhD, FACS, professor of surgery/chief medicine for JWCI at Providence St. John’s Health Center, received The Duke Special Service Award.

The UCLA Gospel Choir opened the evening which also included performances by Broadway's Davis Gaines who wowed the crowd with The Music Of The Night from The Phantom Of The Opera.

Actor/motivational speaker, author and honored US Army veteran J.R. Martinez, welcomed the more than 580 guests and thanked sponsors, Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson and the Wayne family (Visionary Sponsors) along with Platinum patrons Gayle and Marc Ezralow, Suzanne and Rob Davidow, Wells Fargo, Carole Zumbro, the George Adler family and Providence Health and Services. Tony Gale’s orchestra featuring Bill Valentine provided the music.

JWCI Auxiliary President Anita Swift, granddaughter of John Wayne, spoke poignantly about the latter’s final wish to find a cure for cancer and the work of Donald L. Morton, MD, her grandfather’s physician and creator of JWCI’s Surgical Oncology Fellowship Program, who recently died.

In presenting the True Grit Award to the Mandela family, Patrick Wayne, JWCI board chair, said: “Their spirit, fortitude and strength in ending apartheid and easing human suffering inspire us all and is unsurpassed as is our commitment to eradicate cancer and provide hope to cancer patients around the globe.” CNN's Nadia Bilchik, sister of the co-honoree, assisted Wayne with the presentation to HRH Princess Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and HRH Princess Zamaswazi Dlamini, granddaughters of Nelson and Winnie Mandela, gave necklaces engraved with a quote from their grandfather: “It always seems impossi-

CEQA Section 2.

Findings.

The City Council hereby finds that the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code Sec. 21000 et seq., State CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code. Regs.

15000 et seq. (collectively “CEQA”). This ordinance constitutes a regulatory action of the City Council to assure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of a natural resource involving protection of the environment because it will minimize impacts associated with plastic bags on the environment of the City and region.

Therefore the project is found and determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15307.

Further, this ordinance is a regulatory action of the City Council to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement and/or protection of the environment, which does not involve any construction activity or relaxation of any standards allowing environmental degradation.

Therefore, as a separate and independent basis, the project also is found exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308.

The findings and determinations on exemption from CEQA are, in part, based on the following: (1) plastic carryout bags create significant litter problems in Beverly Hills’ neighborhoods, parks, public streets, and sewer systems; (2) the production and disposal of plastic carryout bags has significant environmental impacts, Continue to page 23 >>

BEVERLY HILLS

May 2, 2014 | Page 23

PUBLIC NOTICES including the contamination of the environment, the depletion of natural resources, use of nonrenewable polluting fossil fuels, and the increased clean-up and disposal costs; and (3) studies document that banning plastic carryout bags and placing a mandatory charge on recyclable paper carryout bags will dramatically reduce the use of both types of bags and increase customers’ use of reusable bags.

Section 3. Severability.

If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the final decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Ordinance shall be remain in full force and effect.

Section 4. Publication.

The City Clerk shall cause this Ordinance to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City within fifteen (15) days after its passage in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code, shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance and the City Clerk’s certification, together with proof of publication, to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the Council of this City.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySea rchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1100223969 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

PUBLIC NOTICES ORDINANCE NO. 14-O-2659 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS REGULATING TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE USE IN OUTDOOR SERVICE LINES, FARMERS MARKETS, PUBLIC PLAZAS AND OUTDOOR PUBLIC GATHERING PLACES. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

On April 1, 2014, the City Council considered the introduction of this Ordinance at a duly noticed public meeting and on the basis of the record thereof finds the following facts to be true: A. Tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke cause death and disease and impose great social and economic costs; and B. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that more than 480,000 people die in the United States from tobaccorelated diseases every year, making it the nation’s leading cause of preventable death;1 and C. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2030, tobacco will account for eight million deaths per year, making it the greatest cause of death worldwide;2 and

known as e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-cigarillos, epipes, and e-hookahs, are battery operated devices designed to look like and be used in the same manner as conventional tobacco products. Electronic cigarettes employ the use of a cartridge, generally containing up to 20 mg of nicotine to deliver vaporized nicotine to users. Some cartridges used by electronic cigarettes can be re-filled with liquid nicotine solution, creating the potential for exposure to dangerous concentrations of nicotine;5 and G. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) conducted laboratory analysis of electronic cigarettes and found the following: 1) Diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze and toxic to humans, was found in one cartridge; 2) Certain tobacco-specific nitrosamines, which are human carcinogens, were detected in half of the samples tested; 3) Tobacco-specific impurities suspected of being harmful to humans— anabasine, myosmine, and ß-nicotyrine—were detected in a majority of the samples tested; 4) All but one tested cartridge labeled as containing no nicotine did in fact contain low levels of nicotine; 5) Three identically labeled cartridges emitted markedly different amounts of nicotine with each puff. Nicotine levels per 100 mL puff ranged dramatically from 26.8 to 43.2 mcg nicotine; and 6) One high-nicotine cartridge delivered twice as much nicotine to users as was delivered by a nicotine inhalation product approved by the FDA for use as a smoking cessation aid which was used as a control; and

D. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found secondhand smoke to be a risk to public health and has classified secondhand smoke as a group A carcinogen, the most dangerous class of car- 4 U.S. Department of Health cinogen;3 and and Human Services.

E. S e c o n d h a n d smoke is responsible for an estimated 42,000 deaths among nonsmokers each year in the United States, which includes 7,333 lung cancer deaths and 33,951 deaths due to heart disease;4 and

J. A study published in the American Journal of Public Health found similar results to the FDA testing and concluded that the electronic cigarettes tested so far have demonstrated “poor quality control; toxic contaminants, albeit at low levels; misrepresentation of the nicotine delivered; and insufficient evidence of the overall public health benefit”;8 and K. Clinical studies about the safety and efficacy of electronic cigarettes for their intended use have not been submitted to the FDA, and for this reason, consumers currently have no way of knowing: 1) whether electronic cigarettes are safe for their intended use; 2) what types or concentrations of potentially harmful chemicals the products contain; and 3) what dose of nicotine the products deliver;9 and L. The World Medical Association has determined that electronic cigarettes “are not comparable to scientifically-proven methods of smoking cessation” and that “neither their value as therapeutic aids for smoking cessation nor their safety as cigarette replacements is established”;10 and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Education Partner

A NOTE FROM THE COURIER’S NEW OWNER I love where I live. The City of Beverly Hills holds a very special place in my heart. Simply put, I love it here. I feel very blessed to live here, and that is the primary reason I wanted to become the new owner of The Beverly Hills Courier. After all, it is the City’s one and only newspaper so it's an integral part of it, and I want that to go on and on.

Looking forward, my purpose will always be to promote our wonderful City, and to present our readers with quality information keeping everyone up to date on current events, news and always with exceptional photos. All of the special editions that you’ve come to love will continue, and we will develop more as time permits.

The Courier’s staff will be moving to my Kenquest Building on Canon Drive very soon. I think having them all centrally located will help serve the community even more. It’s closer to City Hall, our esteemed local businesses, and the Golden Triangle.

Thank you. I am excited about working more intensely with the City and The Courier. It is my express desire to serve you and our City to best possible end always.

Paula Kent Meehan

From The Publisher

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS This has been a significant week for The Beverly Hills Courier team as we change ownership after a decade of strong leadership under Publisher Clif Smith.

Clif is a brilliant guy. His love and study of history and politics have added flavor to his editorials over the years—not to mention his unwavering insistence that government at all levels be transparent, efficient, economically sustainable, and, most of all, responsive to it’s constituents, which for us includes residents and our strong business community.

Clif has been a stalwart supporter of our Beverly Hills schools at every opportunity and a loyal supporter of our BHUSD School Board's efforts to protect your children–including this paper's strong and accurate investigative stories into the mendacity of Metro.

Clif has left a big footprint in the alluvial terrain of Beverly Hills and our surrounding readership communities—a footprint that I find daunting. He has also become a great and loyal friend, and I know I can always count on him to tell me the truth.

Paula Kent Meehan, who has been a close counselor and a special friend to me for over three decades, has entrusted me with the stewardship of The Courier going forward. We have a great team at The Courier and all of us commit our loyalty to Paula, and hope this great City of Beverly Hills will help us to be the best we can in the coming years.

Warmly, Marcia

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The citizens of Beverly Hills and the readers of The Courier applaud its sale to Paula Kent Meehan. She is a Beverly Hills resident, a businessperson, a great supporter of the arts and pets and many other things here. We are certain The Courier will be in strong, capable hands.

Daniel Fink ****** Seriously, folks…let’s get serious! That seems to be the word du jour when it comes to discussion of the Westside Subway Extension.

The Courier argues that Metro should take temporarily affected residents and businesses seriously in its efforts to build through our fair City. The City and school district oppose the local Purple Line, citing public transit’s serious environmental impact on the area. But nowhere to be found is whether we should take our economy seriously.

While residents and business deserve sufficient notice, this debate is bigger than Beverly Hills. Mobility is the foundation of economic activity and the lynchpin of development. The more mobile we are, the stronger our economy is going to be. Mobility is a social imperative, too. Every citizen has a right to be mobile; every citizen has a right to be able to get to his or her job. Investing in transit means investing in people, and that enriches everyone’s quality of life.

And about those bike lanes…sustainable mobility eases congestion and supports attractive, convenient and livable communities. Let’s give those a chance too!

David C. Bohnett
