Beverly Hills School District To Spend $14.2K Per Week On Private Armed Security

By Laura Coleman After years of batting around the issue, on Tuesday the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education took responsibility for protecting students and school property throughout the district.

The board voted 4-1 to provide armed security officers at each of the district’s five schools starting Monday. Board member Isabel Hacker was the lone ‘no’ vote to the decision.

The five-week contract with Calabasas-based Nastec International, Inc., which is estimated to cost $14,200 per week, will provide the district with a comprehensive security plan in

addition to an armed security officer at each of the schools from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday at the rate of $71/hour.

The decision reflects the board’s dissatisfaction with the Beverly Hills Police Department’s current program to provide security at BHUSD schools.

“It is critical to have a comprehensive plan with multiple prevention strategies that begin at the perimeter of our schools and follows our students and staff inside our classrooms, as well as to have the resources and qualified personnel to carry out this plan each day students are in session,” said (see ‘SCHOOL SECURITY’ page 2)

El Rodeo School Wins California Distinguished Arts Award

By Victoria Talbot Following months of controversy and meticulous oversight by residents concerned about their neighborhood, the Beverly Hills City Council gave a green light to issue permits for the project located at 1184 Loma Linda Dr. as a by-right project Tuesday.

“Staff’s review of the project concludes that all applicable codes have been complied with,” said the staff report, making this a ministerial project, as opposed to a project requiring discretionary review.

But the approvals came after ten rounds of review on the project and many of the changes reflect the wave of citizen-activism that has subsequently led to changes in municipal codes and procedures in the City, and elevated awareness of the value of public oversight and citizen involvement in Beverly Hills.

“Residents have shown that it is important for development in Beverly Hills to be reasonable and responsible,” said Debbie Weiss, whose efforts led the charge for changes in City affairs. Her home is near the proposed development. “If developers are going to come to Beverly Hills and think that they can push and twist the code any which way to build things that are not suitable for our neighborhoods, then they are simply not going to be able to. The residents are smart, educated and united.”

Attorney Ronald Richards, who represents several of his neighbors in the Hillside Area, agreed. “The go ahead by the City Council to issue the permit for the project at 1184 Loma Linda Dr. after a record ten corrections and massive scaling down of the project was a win for the community and the neighbors.

is more transparent, safer, and it has a staff that has learned that the residents come first and that if anyone tries to put a large octagon into a small square lot, it won’t happen on our watch,” he said.

The proposed residence at 1184 Loma Linda Dr. is an 11,659-square foot residence (including the “basement” and garage) with five bedrooms, nine baths, a gym and a media room. The two-story home will be 30 feet high, with a basement and four retaining walls, including the existing retaining wall. The retaining walls, which will not exceed seven feet in height, will wrap around the hillside.

The project is part of a proposed development of two residences on Loma Linda Drive by billionaire developer Francesco Aquilini that have served to galvanize a wave of public opposition to overdevelopment and mansionization in the Hillside Area of Beverly Hills.

The second property, 1193 Loma Linda Dr., is “not yet ready to have building permit,” said Director of Community Development Susan Healy Keene. That project has had at least 12 correction letters and has not met the threshold of 1,500 cubic yards of soil export to become a by-right project.

Both projects have been the subject of peer review for the grading calculations following the discovery of errors that amounted to a 33 percent miscalculation by the developer’s engineering firm by Architect Stephanie Savage, who was hired by Weiss for expert plan review.

Savage’s insights have led to many changes on the project (see ‘LOMA LINDA’ page 15)

state program in tandem with its being named a California Distinguished School in March. The application was then scored on a nationally normed rubric based on four specific areas: program administration and accountability; curriculum and instruction; program assessment metrics; and professional learning.

Allen credited the strength of the school’s arts education program to teachers Andie Kay, instrumental music, Fred pinto, musical theater, and Elizabeth Federman, visual art. In addition to aligning teaching to national and school content, Allen noted that the El Rodeo programs integrate technology into the arts, very much infusing STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) into the students’ daily lives.

“We try to encompass as many materials as possible for the kids to explore in order to maximize their creative process,” explained Federman.

For example, a “mystery painting” group project where students reconstruct a painting that she has cut into a multitude of grid-like squares as a mural,

Superintendent Michael Bregy.

Hacker refused to support the decision to hire Nastec largely due to the fact that it was the only firm presented to the board as an option to hire. Further, she said that she believes that the current Beverly Hills Police now on campuses provide adequate security.

“I felt that the process was a little incomplete,” she said of the absence of an apparent competitive bid process. “I need to be able to compare things.”

District spokesperson Laura Skirde said the “exploratory” five-week program would run through the end of the current school year.

“This trial program is part of BHUSD’s ongoing effort to improve school safety and security from multiple levels of support,” she said. “The district continues to make physical improvements to each of its five campuses and to expand BHUSD security staff.”

Nastec has been in the security industry since 1994 and focuses on providing specialized security services for schools and nonprofit organizations.

The firm currently provides armed security for several Jewish institutions including the Jewish Federation of Greater L.A. The board’s decision to enhance security at the schools contrasts with Beverly Hills Police Chief Sandra Spagnoli’s repeated declarations that the current BHPD-led measures rely on the latest advances in policing and are the best possible option to ensure that a

piece by piece, gets them to really focus and look at the pieces, thereby creating something highly unique.

Indeed, all the teachers employ creative strategies to maximize student learning as part of the school’s comprehensive arts program. For example, this year the band program chose to focus on life sciences and environmental sciences at one point by taking the students on field trips to both the Griffith Observatory as well as the L.A. Zoo. Following their trip to the observatory, students played music about space. After the zoo, the students created unique compositions based on an animal they saw.

“Our kids get rich experiences that don’t happen in other places,” observed Kay, who holds a doctorate in music education. “I’m hoping this [award] will be a message to the entire community how important arts education is in our community.”

Added Allen: “It’s just one more example of how as a school we’re raising the bar and setting it higher; not only for ourselves to achieve more, but also for the district to achieve new heights of excellence in academics and in the visual arts.”

robust security plan is in place throughout BHUSD. Following an ad-hoc City/BHUSD meeting yesterday to discuss proposed plans for the school district and BHPD, Spagnoli said police would be working with the firm to further enhance security.

“We really need to look at the details and see how we can better partner with them,” she said.

In March, BHPD launched its newly created “Adopt-a-School Program” whereby a Security Resources Officer (SRO) is now stationed at each of the K8 schools with two at the high school. In addition to increased police patrols, campuses throughout the district are now closed with a single point of entry during the school day and BHUSD current security guards continue to remain in place. Further, all schools now share two BHPD detectives who specialize in juvenile issues.

Councilmember Lili Bosse, who previously took the school board to task for even questioning Spagnoli’s plan and looking to enhance it with private security, declined to comment on the board’s most recent decision.

“I don’t know why anybody feels that we know better than our chief of police and better than our police department,” Bosse said previously.

Skirde said that the Nastec contract will be reevaluated by the board in early June and that the district will also be considering proposals from other physical security providers before deciding on a long-term plan.

NOTICE OF PLANNING COMMISSION STUDY SESSION DATE: May 24, 2018 TIME: 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280A Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, May 24, 2018, will hold a study session beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to provide an opportunity for the public and the Planning Commission to discuss the potential expansion of the City’s single-family Design Review program beyond the Central Area of the City, which may include single-family zones in the Hillside and Trousdale Estates areas of the City. The potential to expand the areas subject to Design Review in the City will also be reviewed in the future by the City Council.

The Planning Commission’s discussion regarding expansion of Design Review may include, but is not limited to, the following topics of discussion:

Preliminary Topics for Discussion • If Design Review is expanded to the Hillside Area, should it also be extended to Trousdale Estates?

• Should review be limited to the street-facing façade only, as in the Central Area, or should review include other elevations that may be visible from surrounding properties or streets?

• Should properties that are not visible from the street (e.g. flag lots, large estates, significant landscaping, etc.) be exempt from Design Review?

• Should the required findings be the same as in the Central Area, or should new findings be developed for hillside areas?

• Should story poles (poles and flags outlining the envelope of a structure) be required to better understand where a project is visible from and how the massing fits into the topography?

• For projects that require review by both the Planning Commission and Design Review Commission, is there a preferable sequence as to which Commission reviews the project first, or should one Commission be designated to conduct the review in its entirety?

• Should Design Review include review of accessory elements such as retaining walls, fences, accessory structures, swimming pools, water features, game courts, decks, mechanical equipment, landscaping, lighting, paving, etc.?

• Review of trash enclosures.

• Should there be options for Track One (Staff level) and Track Two (Commission level) review of projects, and should the Style Guide apply?

• What are the staffing and project timeline impacts that might result from expansion of Design Review, and how can these best be minimized?

• What type of public notice should be provided and should bus tours by the Commission be required?

• Review of the Design Review Commission’s recommendations from their April 9, 2018 Study Session regarding this matter.

Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. Any comments submitted will be considered as part of the public record.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Timothea Tway, Senior Planner in the Planning Division at (310) 285-1122, or by email at ttway@beverlyhills.org.

Beverly Hills Resident Roz Henneman, 99, To Receive Honorary Degree From Woodbury University Tomorrow

By Laura Coleman For Beverly Hills resident Rosalind ‘Roz’ Henneman, 99, the honory degree she is set to receive tomorrow at Woodbury University’s 54th annual Fashion Show is very much a culmination of her life.

From hat designer extraordinaire to World War II flight training instructor and back again, Henneman, a 1937-38 fashion design student at Woodbury who will turn 100 this fall, has certainly seen and done quite a lot.

“That honorary degree just kind of sums up my education ... and completes the circle of my life of what I hoped to become and hoped to accomplish,” she said.

After attending the University of Utah for two years, Henneman enrolled in the fall of 1937 at what was then Woodbury College, taking classes in fashion arts and millinery.

“To graduate, we modeled two out-

fits we had designed, sketched in color, made the pattern and then the articles of c l o t h i n g ,” s h e recalled. “I Roz Henneman modeled an evening gown and a beach outfit consisting of pants, blouse, cover-up, large beach hat and beach bag.”

Henneman later joined the Lord Hat Company in Los Angeles where she sketched designs in color, including all measurements and details of the trims so that the hats could be made when orders arrived. She eventually returned to Salt Lake City where she worked in women’s apparel. (see ‘ROZ HENNEMAN’ page 21)

VOLUNTEERING REWARDED– At the City of Beverly Hills 33rd Annual Volunteer Recognition Event last Thursday, long-time volunteer Wini Hervey was recognized as the second Beverly Hills Active Adult Club (BHAAC) member to receive the Donna Goldstein Volunteer Service Award, created to honor individuals who give time and effort volunteering. Hervey has been an active volunteer with the Beverly Hills Active Adult Club since 2002. She has served in each board position, as president from 2010-2012, and currently as the entertainment chair. In 2004, Hervey was the recipient of the Beverly Hills Older American of the Year Award.

Sunday’s NormanAid Fundraiser To Shine A Light On Suicide With Screening Of Holden On At Salter Family Theater

By Laura Coleman On Sunday, Beverly Hills High School’s NormanAid will shine a light on the effects of suicide when it screens Holden On as part of a fundraiser. The film is the true story about Holden Layfield (childhood friend of BHHS teacher Preston Joseph) who had a secret battle with mental illness and a drug addiction and ended up committing suicide at the age of 19.

“This important film portrays the complexity of mental illness and suicide in teens, offers insight to prevention, and opens the door to conversation about this difficult, but critical, community concern,” described 2018 Apple Award winner Ali Norman-Franks, who created the NormanAid Student Support Center in 2007 as a place for students to confidentially share their challenges while availing themselves to available mental health programs.

The event, which will take place on Sunday, May 6, from 4-6:30 p.m. at the BHHS Salter Family Theater, will also honor the Maple Counseling Center and The Matthew Silverman Memorial Foundation for their dedication to the mental health of BHHS students. The

school’s NormanAid Center is staffed every year with a full time intervention counselor (Norman-Franks), 12-14 Maple Center counselors and two PPS counseling interns.

Joseph, a social studies teacher at BHHS for the past decade, was 17 years old when Holden took his own life at the age of 19 in their hometown of Le Grange, Georgia.

“It was shocking,” he recalled. “It was really confusing for us, trying to manage the grief.”

At the time, mental illness was something that no one spoke about and few people in the small town had any idea that Holden had recently been (see ‘NORMAN AID’ page 21)

Omkar P. Kulkarni To Be CHLA’s

H E A LT H & W E L L N E S S

Simms/Mann Institute Think Tank Brings Experts, First-Ever Chief Innovation Officer Stakeholders Together To Discuss Importance Of Kulkarni Omkar P. Kulkarni is joining has his eye Whole Child Development Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) next week as the hospital’s first chief innovation officer.

In his role, Kulkarni will be responsible for fostering innovation across CHLA’s clinical and research enterprises – including finding new methods of care, incubating new medical tools and software, and rallying communities in and out of the hospital to solve problems in the field of pediatrics—all with the goal of enhancing the experience and outcomes for the children and families CHLA serves.

Kulkarni will also work with the Consortium for Technology and Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP), which CHLA established in 2011 with USC, to support and accelerate development and commercialization of medical devices and technology geared specifically to help vulnerable pediatric populations.

“In our never-ending pursuit to create hope and build healthier futures for our patients, it’s crucial that we stay on the cutting edge of technology and new ideas that improve the quality care our patients receive,” says Jim Stein, M.D., MSc, FACS, FAAP, senior VP and chief medical officer. “Omkar

We are glad to Omkar P. Kulkarni have the depth of experience Omkar brings to the team,” says Nancy Lee, RN, MSN, NEA-BC, senior VP and chief clinical officer, "and we look forward to harnessing the creative potential of our staff and faculty.”

Before joining CHLA, Kulkarni was executive director of the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator powered by Techstars, where he helped build and launch the program. In that role, he evaluated more than 3,000 health care start-ups and provided extensive mentoring, serving as the main liaison between the start-up community and CedarsSinai Medical Center.

Kulkarni also led the performance improvement department at Cedars-Sinai for and has experience in financial process redesign at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

The sold-out Simms/Mann Institute Think Tank Wednesday at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills brought together leading neuroscientists from around the world who presented to and met with 500 stakeholders who can directly impact policy and practice in early child development.

Researchers showcased cutting-edge science related to children 0-3 for leaders in education, medicine, business and philanthropy, who can incorporate the research into their work with children, families and communities.

The Think Tank launched in 2013 and the Institute added the Whole Child Award, which comes with a $25,000 honorarium, in 2015.

This year’s recipients are: • Matthew Melmed, JD, executive director of Zero To Three, in the field of Visionary Leadership. He and the nonprofit work to translate the science of early childhood development into practical resources and policies that support very young children and their families.

• Dr. Tom Boyce, Lisa and

John Pritzker Distinguished Professor of Developmental and Behavioral Health, UCSF, won in the Medicine category.

His research suggests that the supportiveness of early environments has important effects on children’s health and well being, • Pat Kuhl, Ph.D and Andrew Meltzoff, Ph.D, codirectors of the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences, University of Washington, won the award in Community Education.

Dr. Kuhl is internationally recognized for her research on

early language and bilingual brain development, for pioneering brain measures on young children, and studies that show how children learn.

Dr. Meltzoff’s research has had profound implications for social-emotional development, especially for the growth of interpersonal relationships during 0-3 years of age.

The institute, dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of children, families and communities, partners with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the Child Development Institute.

Paley Center Hosts Newhart Celebration, Reunion

By Alexandra Del Rosario Bob Newhart succeeded in bringing his audience laugh-out-loud entertainment, once again.

On Thursday night, the legendary Newhart comedian sat down with fellow co-stars Julia Duffy and William Sanderson and Entertainment

Weekly’s editor at large Lynette Rice for a panel at the Beverly Hills Paley Center for Media. The Paley Center partnered with streaming service Hulu to present the behind-thescenes look at the beloved ‘80’s sitcom. The event was part of the center’s PaleyLive 2018 season.

Bob Newhart Before the panel started, the well-known Newhart theme played, bringing a resounding cheer from the audience.

Rice began by asking Newhart about the show and some of its highlights. Newhart cited the episode where Stratford Innkeeper Dick Loudon (Newhart) premiered the daily Vermont Show and (see ‘NEWHART’ page 20)

Brooks Brothers’ Rodeo Drive Location Hits the Market For $300 Million

By Victoria Talbot The beautiful two-story building at the corner of Rodeo Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard, which is currently the home of Brooks Brothers, has been listed with Jay Luchs of Newmark Knight Frank for $300 million; $13,482 per square foot.

The anchor location at 468 N. Rodeo Drive is on the market for the first time. It has been in a family trust for over 50 years. “It’s a family decision,” said Robbie Anderson, whose great grandmother founded the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Luchs was unavailable for comment at deadline.

The property offers 100 feet of frontage on Rodeo Drive, 150 feet of frontage on South Santa Monica Boulevard and a combined 22, 250 square feet of space that could be redeveloped to 30,000 square feet.

Rodeo Drive is one of the world’s most iconic retail locations. Comprised of a mere three blocks, such a large space is a rare opportunity. In November, Cushman & Wakefield rated Rodeo Drive the second most expensive retail location in the country, surpassed only by New York’s Fifth Avenue.

Luchs specializes in the

sale and leasing of investment properties, with a focus on representing international retail and fashion brands and in finding store locations.

Considering other recent sales such as LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc. purchase of a two-story, 6,200square-foot retail property at 456 N. Rodeo Drive for $110 million - $17,750 per square foot and in 2016, LVMH purchase of 420 N. Rodeo Drive for $22 million - $19,405 per square foot, that makes the $300 million asking price a kind of bargain.

Brooks Brothers is planning to move out in August.

By Matt Lopez The Los Angeles City Council moved one step closer to a crack down on Airbnb after unanimously agreeing Wednesday to move forward on a proposed policy for Airbnb and other short-term home rental services.

The proposed ordinance would limit homeowners and landlords who wish to rent out rooms or full homes to 120 days per year, unless they petition the city for more time, but an amendment introduced by Councilman Mitch O'Farrell would direct city staff to report on establishing a 120-day cap for "non-hosted" stays – where the home owner is not present – and no cap for "hosted" stays.

The proposal was approved last month by the Planning and Land Use Management Committee after several years of debate, and the City Council moved the potential regulations forward on a 15-0 vote Wedesday, although a number of amendments were added.

Another amendment that was introduced Wednesday would change the definition of a primary residence from a home where the host lives at least six months to at least 11 months, as the ordinance would only allow hosts to rent their primary residence in an effort to prevent properties from being purchased just to be rented out for short-term guests.

Under the proposed ordinance, before any amendments were introduced, a host who wished to rent more than the 120-day cap would have to meet certain criteria, including that the property has not been the subject of any recent nuisance violations.

The city of Los Angeles’ Office of Finance estimates that the city will collect $46 million in Transient Occupancy Taxes from Airbnb this fiscal year, which ends in July.

There has been no limits on rental days - and a 120-day cap would likely reduce tax revenue in future years.

LOMA LINDA

(continued from page 1)

that included a last-minute “constructibility” adjustment of the location of a proposed retaining wall on Tuesday, which was modified to avoid interfering with an existing retaining wall.

Other questions that were raised by residents which required City Council review included the interpretation by an outside legal authority on the legality of a Lot Line Adjustment (LLA) that went unrecorded for three years absent documented proof of an extension of the 60-day deadline; a review of the LLA following a presentation by Savage that questioned whether the proposed development would encroach beyond the property lines or the required setbacks if it had not been approved; a review of the proposed bond amount for street improvements; and a comprehensive Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP).

Resident Anne Ostroff, a retired rocket scientist who has been one of the citizen analysts whose efforts have contributed to changes in the City and on the Loma Linda projects, in a statement to the Courier said, “It appears that after many attempts, the developer has presented a plan that complies with our City standards (taking advantage of grandfathering that allows the developer to evade current laws in several respects). Assuming that basic compliance has been achieved, it is largely due to the efforts of residents who would not remain silent when staff at the highest levels and our city attorneys were prepared to accept far less than compliance,” wrote Ostroff.

“We have not been well served by staff or the City Attorney and I am hopeful that there will be consequences and changes.”

Her remarks were joined by the public comments of several residents, including Richards, Weiss, Steve Mayer and others, who expressed their concerns about staff errors and judgment, most recently as it concerned the lot line adjustment extension from 60 days to three years.

Lot Line Adjustment Issues In the March 26 staff report, Assistant Director of Community Development Ryan Gohlich minimized the practice of extending deadlines by saying, “There have likely been at least 100 of such extensions.” An investigation turned up four lot line adjustment extensions (Covenants) in forty years. In the Loma Linda case, the adjustment was accepted without having the signature of both parties, in addition to the lack of traceable evidence of a three-year extension.

Wiener engaged Special Counsel Rick Jarvis to review the LLA.

In his report, Jarvis concurred with staff that the waiver of the 60-day deadline and recordation of the Covenant was properly recorded.

Condition of Approval number 5 (COA5) in the City code states the following, in pertinent part: “The applicant shall deliver the executed covenant to the Department of Community Development within 60 days of the Planning Commission’s decision. At the time that the Applicant delivers the covenant to the City, the Applicant shall also provide the City with all fees necessary to record the document with the County Recorder. If the applicant fails to deliver the executed covenant within the required 60 days, this resolution approving the Project shall be null and void and of no further effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the director of Community Development may, upon a request by the Applicant, grant a waiver from the 60-day time limit if, at the time of the request, the director determines that there have been no substantial changes to any federal, state, or local law that would affect the Project.”

(Emphasis in original.)

The approval for the LLA was granted Aug. 12, 2013, and the Covenant was executed April 21, 2016. Said Jarvis, “The director of Community Development’s practice is to delegate the authority for processing waivers of the 60-day period to the staff planner assigned… the City policy does not require any written request for a waiver, nor any written determination that a waiver has been granted.”

The staff planner, Andre Sahakian, is no longer with the City of Beverly Hills, “but staff confirmed that it would be consistent … for that planner… to have waived the deadline,” and “COA 5 does not require the waiver to be obtained within a certain time period… We interpret the intent of the waiver provision to be to allow applicants more time to act on discretionary permits without having to go back to the Planning Commission for reapproval of the same permit…”

“Finally,” concludes Jarvis, “in the absence of any express evidence to the contrary, there is a presumption that “official duty has been regularly performed.” (Cal. Evid. Code 664) … Staff made the appropriate determination absent any evidence to the contrary.”

Attorney Ronald Richards, in public comment, stated that to him, the staff’s handling of the LLA was more significant than the permits for 1184.

Passing out the meager results of his Public Information Request for documents relating to a waiver, extension or relief for the covenant agreement, Richards pointed out that there was no paper trail, that Director Susan

Healy Keene acknowledged that she had no recollection of granting a waiver or extension, and that the public was not informed of any such action.

Richards wanted answers as to why staff had not been forthcoming with these practices and previous City Council meetings when this was called into question.

In a letter read by neighbor Julie Glucksman, Anne Ostroff wrote, “Any legal opinion should be based on … facts, not a half-baked fictional version of what might have happened… an unnamed former staff person – who was not contacted by the ‘independent counsel’ must have given a waiver…”

Other Issues With the issues of the lot line adjustment raising questions about future practices in Community Development, the council turned to the street improvement bond and the Construction Management Plan.

The bond required to ensure street improvements are completed was originally set at $480,000 by the project’s engineer of record. At the March 6 City Council meeting, residents expressed concern that the amount of the bond was not enough to cover the street improvements.

Staff concluded that the bond amount should increase $160,000 to total $640,000.

The bond has been fully paid by the applicant.

The Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) was presented on Dec. 14, 2017 to the City staff. The CTMP is meant to minimize construction-related impacts with pedestrians and vehicular traffic on the 22’ street (Loma Linda Drive) and Coldwater Canyon.

Construction is scheduled to take approximately 30 months and will occur between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Monday – Friday. Phase 1, grading and excavation, will entail haul trucks for 5.5 hours per day, two truck trips per hour over 17 days. Staging is to take place off-site at a location outside Beverly Hills.

Construction personnel are expected to park at 241 N. Canon Dr. and be transported to the site. Equipment and materials will be staged off-site.

A temporary surface will be constructed in a street-widening project that will preserve street parking for residents during construction. Resident Larry Murphy reviewed the plan with staff on behalf of the neighbors, and he was “generally satisfied,” according to the staff report.

“We shouldn’t be so dependent on residents being so active to bring things like this to our attention,” said Wunderlich. “We learned a lot from this process.”

life of their schools.

The West Coast RULER training has been made possible by donations from Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and Andrew Hauptman and The Hauptman Family Foundation and The Simms/Mann Family Foundation.

“Emotions matter, and they matter a great deal in how leaders lead, teachers teach, students learn, and families parent,” says Dr. Marc Brackett, Ph.D., director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. “Research has shown us repeatedly that the skills of emotional intelligence profoundly impact a person’s ability to thrive– academically, personally and professionally.”

RULER trainers from Yale, led by Brackett and Dena Simmons, Ed.D., assistant director of the Center, with Willows faculty facilitators, will work interactively with the educators in the intensive training. After the training, teams from each school attending will return to their campuses and implement RULER with ongoing support.

“We are honored to be instrumental in bringing RULER From left: Dr. Marc Brackett, director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence; Lisa and this valuable emotional Rosenstein, The Willows Head of School, intelligence work to more West and Dena Simmons, assistant director, Yale Coast schools,” says Willows Head of School Lisa Center for Emotional Intelligence.

he Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and The Willows Community School are collaborating to bring RULER, the Center’s evidencebased approach to social and emotional learning for the first time to the West Coast. On May 8 and 9, RULER training will be held at The Willows Community School in Culver City. Public, charter, independent, and parochial schools from California, Oregon, and Washington State will send 100-plus educators and administrators to the two-day institute with the goal of enhancing the emotional intelligence of students, teachers, staff, and families by integrating RULER principles and tools into the curriculum and cultural

Regarding the backstage environment, Duffy said set-life was unruly because the cast and crew spent too much time laughing between takes.

“If you’re doing a comedy show, you should be talking to funny people,” said Newhart in response.

In addition to the cast’s friends and family members, notable personalities inlcuding Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek and singer Steve Lawrence were also in the audience.

Later in the evening, audience members asked about the switch from video to film, the atypical sitcom structure, and the possibilities of a Newhart reboot. Newhart joked that would be a “death wish.”

While there does not seem to be any promise for new Newhart seasons or episodes, the sitcom’s fans can now catch the show’s complete first season on Hulu.

The show features Yvette Cason (Shout Sister Shout, Broadway and film versions of Dreamgirls), Bryce Charles (The Book of Mormon, ABC’s Blackish), Paulette Ivory (Disney’s Aida and the West End premieres of The Lion King and Blues in the Night) and Chester Gregory (Broadway’s Motown: The Musical, Hairspray and Sister Act) as The Man In The Saloon, who adds his own take on the proceedings.

by Albert Hunter, Willow Weep for Me by Ann Ronel and Take Me For a Buggy Ride by Leola Wilson and Wesley Wilson.

diagnosed with schizophrenia.

“He was an all American kid, the best athlete, the smartest kid,” Joseph described. “But by the senior year he had really changed ... we thought it was really him being rebellious.”

For director Tamlin Hall, who went to film school at UCLA, the death of his childhood best friend has had a lifelong impact. The film project, which is based on hundreds of hours of interviews with Holden’s friends and family members, was very much something he was driven to make in an effort to help lessen the stigma of mental illness.

“I just wanted to show the person behind the illness,” he

said. “With the truth comes hope and with hope comes a brand new tomorrow.”

To reduce the stigmas surrounding mental health and to encourage support-seeking behavior, NormanAid is dedicating May as Mental Health Awareness Month.

“We hope to raise awareness and to empower students to take care of themselves and their peers, and to strengthen the ability of parents/guardians to support students’ needs at home,” Norman-Franks said.

“Together we have had the opportunity be proactive and to help students during times of crisis.”

training to become a Link Trainer. She subsequently served in Atlanta and Washington D.C., training pilots on the Link Trainer.

Her time with the Navy proved particularly serendipitous. One of her bunk-mates trained a marine pilot named Paul Henneman and set the two of them up on a blind date.

“He could really dance and I liked him,” she recalled.

“By the end of November, I was wearing his wings, which is

like getting engaged, on the inside of my jacket.”

With a family of four sons, three daughters, 24 grandchildren, and 27 great-grandchildren (and counting), their marriage certainly proved fruitful.

Four years ago Henneman made her way to Beverly Hills to live with her daughter Chris, a Beverly Hills resident for the past 37 years.

“It’s a wonderful place to live, very peaceful,” she said.

Recalled Henneman: “I didn’t like the working conditions here; full of smoking and drinking, so I moved back to Salt Lake and got a prestigious job in a woman’s dress shop.”

As the U.S. entered World War II, Roz put her budding career in hat design on hold and joined the war effort by enlisting in the Navy. At boot camp at Hunter College in New York, Henneman received

Frances Allen’s Desert Roundup

Joan Mangum

This is a tale of sorcerers and wizards, of musical and financial talent who have worked their alchemy to produce “One Night Only,” a live, on stage magical theatrical production of song that during the past years has generated more than $1 million benefiting Jewish Family Service of the Desert.

The founding sorcerer and producer of “One Night Only” is internationally renowned photographer/producer Michael Childers, who came up with the simple concept of having a group of about two-dozen Broadway stars appear on stage, each singing one different song … and only for one night. At least the concept was simple; its execution required a magical Merlin of immense skill and an overflowing Rolodex.

This year’s singular evening began the night before with an invitation-only, cast party at the ultra-contemp

CBF BENEFIT– Welcoming guest speaker Eric Buterbaugh to the Council of the Children’s Burn Foundation luncheon at Bel-Air Country Club are the event’s cochairs, Carol Mancino (left) and Sandra Rosenbaum. (right).

The Council of the Children’s Burn Foundation certainly knows how to have a great time while simultaneously raising very needed funds for the charity. The Bel-Air Country Club was the gathering spot for the council’s annual spring luncheon which celebrated the “flamboyant, flowery world” of its featured speaker, the world-renowned floral and fragrance designer Eric Buterbaugh, whose amusing talk of his adventures in that business was a huge hit.

Co-chairs Sandra Rosenbaum and Carol Mancino are to be congratulated for coordinating a beautiful event with the room awash in stunning pink roses and the flowery attire of the 110 attendees.

Council President Barbara Pratt introduced a moving video tribute to the Children’s Burn Foundation created by Natalie Toppino, the talented daughter of Kathy Toppino, chair of CBF’s board of trustees.

VOLUNTEER–L.A. County Sheriff Jim McDonnell presents Beverly Hills Women’s Club member Marlene Kreedman with the Volunteer of the Year award for her work with the Marina Del Rey Sheriff’s Station.

Among the many guests... Lenore Kayne, Terri Hofstader, Ruth Gilliam, Shiela Rose, Susan Goss, Barbara Lewis, Suzanne Furst, Cookie Markowitz, Marlene Ridgley and Nancy Silberkleit.

An upcoming event on Saturday, May 19 is the Uplift Family Services 7th annual Norma Jean Gala to be held under the stars at the Hollygrove campus against the background of the “Hollywood” sign.

This will benefit the charity’s behavioral and mental health programs serving more than 1,200 at-risk children.

Honorees will be writer/comedian Ike Barinholtz and his wife, Erica, as well as talent agent Chris Andrews of Creative Artists Agency.

Actors Edgar Ramirez and Colin Hanks will do the presentations while actress Busy Philipps emcees.

For tickets, call Kathleen Felesina at 323796-7142 or email: kathleen.felesina@upliftfs.org ****** The next day, Sunday, May 20, at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre will be the “Grand Finals Concert” for young opera singers at 2 p.m. sharp.

This national vocal competition is sponsored by the Loren L. Zachary Society for the Performing Arts.

Admission is free but tickets are required for the remaining seats at the Wilshire Ebell, 4401 W. 8th St. at Lucerne.

A self-addressed, stamped envelope should be sent immediately to The Loren L. Zachary Society/Grand Finals Concert, 2250 Gloaming Way, Beverly Hills CA 90210-1717.

rary home of Helene Galen, one of the event’s highpowered financial apprentices. Any visit to the Galen’s Tamarisk Country Club abode and viewing its collection of museum-quality art is a treat, but she has not limited herself to static displays. As guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails from her golf course-adjacent patio, a portion of the Palm Springs High School Band, in full uniform and instrumentation, along with accompanying baton-twirlers and cheer leaders, marched from where they had been hiding and performed one song before marching back out-of-sight across the Tamarisk-trimmed rough.

The following night a sold-out crowd of more than 1,100 at the McCallum Theatre were treated to twodozen Broadway songs, penned by those musical geniuses, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein and Lorenz Hart. The performance was held together and run flawlessly by Childers and director Jason Graae who had the theatrical equivalent of herding cats by putting the stellar cast, (all of whom donated their time), through their paces.

For those guests with VIP tickets, an after-party at Aqua in Rancho Mirage followed the 90-minute stage and offered large doses of gossip and camaraderie along with a lavish supper buffet.

The sorcerer’s apprentices who helped provide a memorable theatrical experience for that special night were Honorary Co-Chairs Dr. Tim Jochen and Lee Erwin, Helene Galen, Barbara Keller and Harold Matzner. The Event Co-chairs were the ultra-hard working, Barbara Fromm and Terri Ketover.

Those sorcerer’s apprentices performing for “One Night Only” were: Ann Hampton Callaway; Liz Callaway; Billy Stritch; Teri Ralston; Jeffrey Scott Parsons; Cassie Silva; David Gaines; Lucie Arnaz; Faith Prince; Karen Ziemba; Brent Barrett; Scott Coulter; Kevin Earley; Rena Strober; David Burnham; Alix Korey; Patrick Cassidy; Aaron Lazar; Anna Minter; Bruce Vilanch; Sal Mintretta; and the queen of the evening’s performers, Beverly Hills own Constance Towers Gavin, who gives proof to the fact that age does not replace talent – nor true beauty.

Jewish Family Service of the Desert is a non-sectarian, non-profit which provides counseling and social services to those in need, regardless of religion, age, income, or lifestyle. Each year, the organization provides direct services to more than 4,000 men, women and children in need. For more information about it, call 760-325-4088.

Chairman 2014 Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pablo Nankin, M.D., continues to write erroneous letters with lies and false information, and his remarks about me in last week's Courier were laughable.

He wrote that a certain description fits me well, but yet he called me a stranger. Dr. Nankin also denied ever writing about calling Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park a Jewish cemetery and claims that he knows full well that.he did not write that.

To refresh his mind, here is a part of something he wrote in 2016 ... “This reminds me of two wonderful movie stars, both converts to Judaism, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe who are buried in Jewish cemeteries while Lauren Bacall, who was actually born a Jew was buried by in a Christian cemetery.”

Actually, Forest Lawn in Glendale is not Jewish either. I have many wonderful Jewish friends and we have a mission to promote unity among all people. Dr. Nankin seems to want to separate faiths and people. He once wrote that Jews are the chosen ones.

No. No one is chosen. No one is better. We are all the same.

My Jewish friends agree and also say that people like Dr. Nankin need to be corrected.

In his rebuttal towards me, he insinuated that I do not want police in schools. Yes I do and I made that very clear. However,in our parks, we do not need a heavy police presence.

We do not spend millions of dollars on holiday lighting and the like.

His letter attack against me is false as is just about everything he writes. It's a shame that we have people like him in a world where so many others are uniting and marching for a peaceful world without separation. George Vreeland Hill ****** When Pablo Nankin was recently “giving grief” to BHPD Chief Sandra Spagnoli about his deep concern regarding the safety and security of the children at the schools in our BHUSD, I pointed out (quite publicly), that it was not the chief, nor her employer (the City Council), but rather the Board of Education which is responsible for the safety and security of the schools and everyone in them.

The chief showed–and not for the first time– how a professional acts.

Rather than attack Pablo, she called and extended an invitation for a private meeting.

We are all elements of one community and together are much stronger than the sum of the individuals.

Clearly, this is easier said than done, as personalities, egos and other considerations enter the picture; not here, not in this case.

In an e-mail reply, I threw the case back at the school district and said that talk alone is cheap and if the school board was truly con-

cerned about the safety and security of the children, staff and teachers, it can look at some of the local security companies.

Israel, it so happens, has much to offer in this field, and several local companies are headed and staffed by highly respected Israelis with tremendous expertise.

I named three.

Our school board’s president took action, and today, one of these companies entered into a contract with the BHUSD. Thus, allow me to “close a circle,” for we are all truly “in it together:” Pablo, the instigator, Chief Spagnoli, and someone I have known for a decade whom I have seen at work, on the ground, and am most proud to call him a friend –Sean Ben Menachem.

I am confident that Sean will want to introduce himself to the Chief, and we all want to thank Pablo for stirring so much trouble, letting no one rest, until he is satisfied that the kids and everyone else in the schools are as safe as possibly can be.

People working together toward a common goal. Thank you–one and all.

Ari Bussel ****** Councilmember Lester Friedman: “disgusting”–that’s the only word to describe your performance at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

No motion was required to “approve” 1184 Loma Linda Dr. and yet you couldn’t wait to make one endorsing a foreign billionaire developer?

You and your colleagues boast how “the process worked,” yet you did not force the developer to reimburse Debbie Weiss and her group the $400,000 they spent, much less their 6,000 hours to finally “approve” a project that should never have been submitted.

Would you put up $1,000 much less $400,000 to defend your property and three years of billable hours to defend your neighborhood? Would you wipe-out a good portion of your savings and forgo working full-time for three years?

The “process” should never have been so flawed in the first place. The “process” failed.

Let’s not forget this developer has already cost the City close to $1 million between added extra planning department staff time and defending two lawsuits, much less the special election that will cost the City another $250,000.

This was the one opportunity to have all legal matters dropped in return for the granting of the permits. You, Lester Friedman, the great attorney, could have, and should have, negotiated such an easy deal.

Instead, by your motion you fawned upon, and encouraged, you became a true adversary of the City–disgusting!!

Cartoon for the Courier by Janet Salter

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 4). You may not see the big picture clearly right now, but the sort of magic is coming together that you wouldn't have planned. All you have to do is fulfill the obligations of the moments, which will link together and open in wondrous ways. Also, ask for what you want and know what you like because people will aim to please you. Scorpio and Gemini adore you.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Getting someone to like you, buy from you or agree to your plan will be a bit like grabbing at space.

So don't try for it. Instead, be a model of cool, as attractive as possible in every way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone is defensive about something. Finding out what triggers you to act defensively is just the information you need to become mighty. So any challenge to your defenses is a valuable gift.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When people talk about what they're going to do, you'll be supportive and encouraging, though part of you wonders if what you're hearing is really so. Time will tell.

Meanwhile, for you it's better to be busy than wordy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People project their hopes and wishes on each other in the early stage of relationships. Later, with a more accurate picture of what the person is actually like, some of it won't fit. You're fine with this. You live in reality.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's so simple. Rested people are better behaved! Getting more sleep is one of the most effective steps to becoming healthier -- plus it's free. It will require you to make a plan though.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're loveable and down deep you know it, but it sure feels nice to get some feedback to that effect to drive the point home. In fact, people who neglect the niceties run the risk of being replaced by more effusive company.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You need a teacher to learn. Even “self-made” people have teachers; maybe in the form of books or heroes they model. Don't be afraid to try out new teachers. Why take the first influence that comes along?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Before you go risking rejection, one thing that might be helpful to find out would be what it typically takes to get to “yes.” While atypical things work all the time, you'll do well to get a little more information on the matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to be where there's laughter, color and interest -- maybe a little chaos, too. You're due for the sort of fun that can't be had where there are a lot of rules to follow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Paper theories are all well and good, but you can't tell how things will fly in the so-called real world until you do the experiment. This will take some daring and a bit of money, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Knowing how a thing is made will either inspire you to like it more or less. Are you ready to find out which? This hazy moment of limited knowledge is like a bubble of possibility you're not too eager to burst.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). It may be argued that there is no such thing as perfection in the world, and yet the peaceful feeling that comes over you this afternoon will fit the description. No work required here, because perfection doesn't need perfecting.
