Beverly Hills Poised To Become Nation’s First City To Ban Tobacco Sales to be a part of this groundbreaking legislation,” said Chair Gary Ross.

“We have fashioned an ordinance that prioritizes public health, while also balancing business interests. It is no easy task, but we hope this ordinance will serve as a model for other cities to follow. Our City has always been courageous, and not afraid of being the first to do something. Here, we are attempting to serve as an example to others, of what it truly means to be a Healthy City.”

The ban on tobacco sales, according to the staff report, is to promote public health by limiting access to tobacco and tobacco products within the City.

To aid smokers who wish to quit, the City of Beverly Hills has launched a partnership with (see ‘TOBACCO SALES’ page 18)

Traffic & Parking Commission Reluctantly Sends Complete Streets Plan To City Council

Up In Smoke

By Victoria Talbot A packed house at City Hall Tuesday listened to more than two dozen speakers provide testimony regarding a proposal for an ordinance to ban the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products in the City of Beverly Hills.

The proposed ordinance won unanimous support from an energized and enthusiastic City Council that has sought to increasingly restrict access to smoking, vaping and tobacco products in the City.

The ban was first proposed on February 25 at the City Council Study Session, when the council directed the Health & Safety Commission to come back with a proposed ordinance.

The proposed ordinance came out of the commission. “I’m proud

and leadership in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery.

“I’m honored to lead AATS, one of the oldest and most prestigious (see ‘CHLA’ page 31)

By Victoria Talbot The Traffic and Parking Commission held a special meeting Wednesday evening to review the Draft Complete Streets Plan and to hear public comment.

Echoing public comments from a small group of residents that have diligently participated in the Complete Streets project since its inception, Traffic and Parking Commissioners reluctantly agreed to recommend the Complete Streets to City Council for adoption, acknowledging that it fell short of their expectations and adding a caveat that future iterations will have “more detail,” with “individual project direction,” and that this is a “basis to

build on in the future.”

The Complete Streets Draft Plan is more than 240 pages long, including copious photos, graphics, tables, and commentary that does not appear to move the ball forward.

It is filled with phrases that may have required interpretation as some industry terms are confusing at best. Many Beverly Hills residents do not claim English as their first language, creating an even greater disadvantage.

It brings to mind the saying, “never use a quarter word when a nickel one will do.”

Phrases such as “connected and autonomous vehicles,” “first/last mile connections,” “pedestrian-focused corridors,” (see ‘COMPLETE STREETS’ page 17)

School Board Considers Temporary Performance Tent For Beverly Hills High Theater, Music Students

By Matt Lopez With major construction set to commence at Beverly Hills High School, the Board of Education is wrestling with where to place performing arts students who will be without their regular performance space during construction.

On Tuesday, the school board broached the idea of erecting a temporary tent-like performance enclosure on the southwest end of campus, near an empty lot by the portables section.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

The Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO CLARIFY THAT ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON ESTATE LOTS IN THE TROUSDALE ESTATES AREA OF THE CITY MAY NOT BE CONSTRUCTED OFF THE EXISTING LEVEL PAD.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO MODIFY LANGUAGE RELATED TO TIME LIMITS FOR CONSIDERATION OF CERTAIN ENTITLEMENTS AND FINDINGS RELATED TO THE LOCATION OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON CERTAIN TROUSDALE ESTATES LOTS.

Currently, the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC § 10-3-2621) states that an applicant may request a Trousdale R-1 Permit from the Planning Commission to place an accessory structure anywhere on a site, if the site is an estate lot (24,000 square feet or larger) in Trousdale Estates. At a study session held on December 13, 2018, the Planning Commission provided staff direction to draft an ordinance clarifying that an applicant may request a Trousdale R-1 Permit to locate an accessory structure anywhere on the existing level pad, not anywhere on the site. The Planning Commission considered the draft Ordinance and adopted a resolution recommending the ordinance to the City Council on February 28, 2019. The proposed Ordinance would include modifications to the existing code language to make this clarification.

The Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The adoption and implementation of the Ordinance represents minor language changes to the existing code to clarify a code section. There is no possibility that adoption and implementation of the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance does not authorize construction and it would impose greater restrictions on certain development in order to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Accordingly, the City Council will consider the staff recommendation to find the Ordinance exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments also may be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Written comments should be received prior to the public hearing. The comments should be received prior to the hearing date. Any written comments received by close of business on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 will be attached to the agenda report regarding this item. Any comments received after Tuesday, May 28, 2019, but prior to the public hearing, will be distributed to the Council under separate cover. Please note that if you challenge the City’s action in regards to this matter in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at a public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the end of the public hearing.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Timothea Tway, Senior Planner, Community Development Department, at (310) 285-1122 or ttway@beverlyhills.org. The case file, including a copy of the proposed ordinance, is available for review in the Community Development Department, 455 N. Rexford Drive, 1st Floor, Beverly Hills, California 90210.

The proposed Ordinance would: a) modify or eliminate zoning code language regarding time periods for review of the following types of entitlements: Variance, Conditional Use Permit, Zoning Amendment, Architectural Review, Extended Hours Permit, Adult Entertainment Business – Zone Clearance, and Design Review, and b) add findings for the Trousdale R-1 Permit pertaining to the location of accessory structures on a site. The proposed amendments included in the Ordinance would not represent changes to development standards. This ordinance is part of an ongoing effort to amend language in the municipal code to improve clarity and maintain consistency between various sections of the Code.

The Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City.

There is no possibility that the proposed code amendments that are not related to any specific development proposal may have a significant effect on the environment because the modifications do not enable any physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, the City Council will consider the staff recommendation to find the Ordinance exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) and Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question would have a significant effect on the environment.

All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments also may be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Written comments should be received prior to the public hearing. The comments should be received prior to the hearing date.

Local Attorney Scores Major Win For Lenders And Borrowers In State Supreme Court

TRAVEL AND TOURISM WEEK IN BEVERLY HILLS– The Beverly Hills City Council issued a proclamation Tuesday declaring May 5-11 as National Tourism Week in Beverly Hills, in recognition of the importance of travel and tourism to the local economy.

Beverly Hills Schools To Allow Only Service, Instructional Animals On Campus

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills Board of Education tightened its restrictions about allowing animals on campus on Tuesday at its board meeting.

Going forward, in accordance with new Board Policy adopted on Tuesday, the only animals allowed in any Beverly Hills Unified School District building or on campus will be service animals and those used

for instructional purposes.

Any dogs or other animals on school grounds which meet those criteria must be on a leash or harness no longer than six feet in length, or secured in a cage or other contained enclosure.

In the report presented to the school board, district staff said the regulations were being put in place to “ensure the safety of employees, students

and visitors and to maintain the cleanliness of district facilities.”

Owners of any dogs or animals on campus will be responsible for removal and disposal of any fecal matter left on district property.

“Hopefully our City’s dog park will have more business because of this,” Board President Noah Margo said.

JOURNALISTS ON THE RISE – On April 27, Gaby Doyle, a Beverly Hills High School English teacher and adviser for the school’s Highlights newspaper and Watchtower yearbook, along with four students from the journalism program, returned home from three days at the National High School Journalism Convention in Anaheim.

Beverly Hills City Council Continues To Debate Placement Of Potential Ringo Starr Art Donation

By Matt Lopez Rock legend Ringo Starr is hoping to donate a piece of art to the City of Beverly Hills, but the City is not quite ready to Let It Be. The City Council and representatives for the legendary Beatles drummer discussed the possibility of hosting a piece of art near City Hall that Starr would like to donate to the City of Beverly Hills.

Starr, a resident of Beverly Hills, has constructed a stainless steel sculpture of a hand giving the “peace sign” that is 8-feet high by 4.5-feet wide and weighs approximately 800 pounds.

Originally, the potential donation was brought before the Fine Art Commission in September 2017, but the commission felt did it not meet the

strict donation criteria laid out in the City’s Fine Art Ordinance. Due to Starr’s Beverly Hills residency and worldwide fame, the Fine Art Commission recommended that the City Council accept donation of the piece.

There were initial were discussions of Starr’s piece being placed north of the main entrance to City Hall, but last week, the City Council approved the acceptance of a $200,000 donation toward the acquisition of artist Ai WeiWei’s cast-iron “Iron Root” piece which is scheduled to be placed near the corner of North Santa Monica Boulevard and Crescent Drive.

Over concerns regarding the two pieces being too close together, recent discussions on the placement of Starr’s peace

sign have centered on placing it south of the main entrance to City Hall.

Beverly Hills Cultural Heritage Commissioner Jill Collins spoke at the City Council study session on behalf of Starr, who she said was ill with the flu, and said she is helping to coordinate the donation.

“He really wanted it in the park originally, but that wasn’t an option,” Collins said. “He wanted it to be where people could drive by on Santa Monica Boulevard and see it.

But 60 feet from the right, it won’t be seen from there. He just loves Beverly Hills so much. I hope we can accommodate his wishes.”

Collins intimated that Beverly Hills wasn’t the only (see ‘RINGO STARR’ page 17)

By Victoria Talbot Beverly Hills attorney Ronald Richards scored a major victory today in the Supreme Court of California that will have broad implications for borrowers and banking in the landmark case of Black Sky Capital, LLC v.

Michael Cobb, et al.

“Since 1992, California lenders have been subject to a judge-made rule that has restricted, rather than expanded credit to existing borrowers,” said Richards. “The rule was not supported by the text of the law nor any legislative history. Our office, with the support of our client, set out to change 27 years of intermediate court rulings that did not adhere to the Supreme Court’s stare decisis (to stand by things decided) in its seminal opinion on the subject, pronounced in 1963.”

According to Richards, who has argued at the State Supreme Court twice this year, which is extremely rare for any attorney, for nearly three decades a borrower could not

seek a second loan on a property from the same bank without the bank running the risk of having its second lien wiped out if it foreclosed on its first lien.

Since the 1992 decision in Simon v. Superior Court, lenders in California holding senior and junior liens on the same real property were barred from both non-judicially foreclosing pursuant to the senior lien and also seeking a deficiency judgement on the junior lien.

According to the National Law Review: “The decision opens the door for lenders to enforce two liens on the same property in this manner for the first time in more than 25 years [without risking their second lien getting extinguished].

Lenders in the right circumstances would have the option to sue the borrower for collection of the ‘sold-out’ junior lien debt following the foreclosure of the senior lien.”

“With the assistance of a great team, I did what attorneys (see ‘SUPREME COURT’ page 17)

Jewish Community Foundation Hosts Special Needs Strategy Conference In Beverly Hills

By John L. Seitz More than 100 attorneys, CPAs, estate planners, and financial advisors attended the first session of the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles’ 2019 Professional Advisor Speakers Series at The Beverly Wilshire.

The program was entitled “Special Planning Considerations for Clients with Special Needs.” Panelists shared topical insights and information about government programs, as well as financial and legal strategies to assist clients with physical, mental and psychological disabilities and their families in managing life under a special-needs-care umbrella. A growing specialneeds population, particularly

those on the autism spectrum, is making this an issue of increasing importance.

Event speakers included: Michelle Wolf, founder and executive director of the Jewish Los Angeles Special Needs Trust, attorneys Stuart Zimring, and Josh Passman, plus the foundation’s development team: Steve Gamer, Baruch Littman, Natella Royzman and Dan Rothblatt.

The Jewish Community Foundation manages more than $1 billion in charitable assets for more than 1,300 L.A. area Jewish philanthropists. It annually hosts a seven-session series to provide professional advisors with strategies and insights for tax and estate planning.

Authorities Seize More Than 1,000 Guns From Holmby Hills Home

By Matt Lopez More than 1,000 guns were seized from a home in the Holmby Hills area on Wednesday after a raid by federal agents acting on an anonymous tip.

One man at the home, Girard Damien Saenz of Los Angeles, was arrested on suspicion of possessing, selling and manufacturing assault weapons.

Helicopter crews flying overhead caught live video of federal authorities lining up hundreds of assault rifles outside the home, stacked along the driveway.

The Los Angeles Police Department and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) conducted the investigation at the home at 111 N. Beverly Glen Blvd.

ATF spokesperson Ginger Colbrun

said authorities acted on an anonymous tip.

In addition to more than 1,000 firearms, Colbrun said authorities also confiscated manufacturing equipment and tools. Colbrun added that there’s no reason to believe the public is in any danger.

“It's just beyond comprehension that somebody can have so many weapons in a residence like this in a neighborhood like this,” LAPD Lt. Chris Ramirez told reporters on the scene Wednesday.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the home in question is owned

by Cynthia Beck, who has three daughters with J. Paul Getty’s son, Gordon Getty. There was no reported connection between Beck - who has owned the home since 2001 – and the gun raid.

ADL Warns Of Concern Over Rise In Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes

By Matt Lopez The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) released a report last week revealing that anti-Semitic assaults in the United States more than doubled in 2018.

The ADL performs an annual audit of anti-Semitic incidents that occur across the country. It recorded 1,879 attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions in 2018, the third highest-year on record since the ADL began tracking the data in the 1970s.

California, in particular, saw an increase of 27 percent, with 244 incidents of harassment, 88 incidents of vandalism and nine cases of assault.

ADL Los Angeles Regional Director Amanda Susskind said that while some measure of the increase in incidents in California could be chalked up to better reporting, there is much concern that “anti-Semitic incidents continue to plague our communities – the fatal shooting in Poway and

the thwarted terrorist attack [two weeks ago] are just two stark reminders.”

The ADL’s findings revealed that anti-Semitic incidents took place in nearly every state across the country, but the highest number of incidents were largely consistent with areas that included the largest Jewish populations.

California had the most incidents with 341, followed closely by New York with 340.

“We've worked hard to push back against anti-Semitism, and succeeded in improving hate crime laws, and yet we continue to experience an alarmingly high number of anti-Semitic acts,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL’s CEO and national director. “We must remain vigilant in working to counter the threat of violent anti-Semitism and denounce it in all forms, wherever the source and regardless of the political affiliation of its proponents."

By Matt Lopez The City of Beverly Hills is gearing up for a jampacked summer of bold events in conjunction with its BOLD (Beverly Hills Open Later Days) summer programming.

JDRF ‘Imagine Gala’ Raises More Than $1 Million The JDRF Los Angeles “Imagine Gala” Saturday raised more than $1 million to support JDRF’s research to cure, treat, and prevent type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Adam Stewart presented Marc and Robyn Sidoti with the JDRF 2019 honor for their leadership and commitment to the cause.

When their daughter Juliet was diagnosed at 7 with T1D, Marc and Robyn made it their mission to help eradicate the disease. Marc is a board member of JDRF LA Chapter and Robyn is a member of the “Imagine Gala” committee.

“With JDRF, we found an all-star team together with a community of

experts, parents, advocates and answers to questions. This is what a cure looks like,” said Robyn Sidoti.

The evening featured a performance

by Harry Connick, Jr. and was hosted by Frank Buckley, co-anchor of KTLA’s Morning News. Attendees included Dana Walden, Austin Basis, Dame Dash, Jon Platt, Eric Tozer, Derek Theler and David Osmond.

JDRF (formerly Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), is dedicated to improving lives and curing Type 1 diabetes in children and in adults.

Since its inception in 1970, JDRF has funded virtually every major breakthrough in diabetes research.

Tower Cancer Research Foundation’s Tower of Hope Gala beginning at 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 14, at The Beverly Hilton, will honor Dr. Philomena McAndrew, Abby and Alan Levy, and Dick, Sally and Alexandra Lippin and The Lippin Dr. Philomena McAndrew Family Trust for their commitment to raising awareness about cancer, and their dedication to ending the disease.

Several of Tower’s noted Career Development Grants will be awarded to researchers at UCLA, Cedars-Sinai and UCSD as part of Tower’s ongoing Power of Precision Campaign.

In the last two decades, Tower has raised more than $30 million, funding that supports grants ranging from oneyear $100,000 Career Development Grants to five year $500,000 Senior Investigator Grants to $1,000,000 Multidisciplinary Discovery Funds.

Tower’s Discovery Fund encourages the pursuit of high-risk, high-reward research projects by providing scientists with funding upfront, removing barriers to entry. Tower believes that leading-edge and novel ideas may not yet qualify for traditional grant funding due to a lack of preliminary data.

Tower’s Power of Precision Campaign seeks to accelerate the pace of cancer research in molecular genetics and to promote translation of scientific advances into new life-saving therapies.

Historically, cancer patients have usually received the same treatment as others who have the same type and stage of cancer. After decades of research, sci-

entists now understand that patients’ tumors have genetic changes that cause cancer to grow and spread.

They have learned that the changes that occur in one person’s cancer may not occur in others who have the same type of cancer. Precision medicine targets the changes in cancer cells that help them grow, divide and spread.

This campaign will help enable researchers to explore promising therapies that specifically target these changes or block their effects.

All of this year’s honorees share a commitment to stopping cancer and improving the lives of those effected by cancer. And Dr. McAndrew is the connective tissue that ties them all together.

Manhattan Real Estate Developer, Art Collector Shvo Takes Over 9200 Wilshire

By Victoria Talbot Michael Shvo, a real estate developer and art collector, reportedly paid $130 million for the 9200 Wilshire Blvd. site, in a joint venture led by Bilgili Group and Deutsche Finance, from local developer New Pacific Realty Corp.

Plans for a residential mixed-use project were approved in 2007, but the project languished during the recession.

The site and entitlements were acquired by New Pacific Realty Corp. led by David Margulies and Arnold Rosenstein, in 2010 for a reported $16.5 million.

In Oct., 2017, the current Planning Commission approved some minor building modifications, granting reduced retail and holding to 54 units despite the developer request for 90 units, including some traffic mitigation measures.

Located between Palm and Maple Drives on the south side of Wilshire Boulevard, the site is regarded as a prime location in the City.

A vacant lot since 2007, it was used by the Lexus dealership for overflow parking.

The proposed project was originally denied by the Planning Commission in 2006 when Vince Bertoni was director of Community Development for the City due to “the inappropriateness of the mixed-use land use on this commercial site,” according to the minutes of the Sept. 5, 2006 meeting.

It was called up by the City Council under then-Mayor Steve Webb.

In 2007, councilmembers approved an overlay zone for a project with 14,000 square feet of retail space and 275 parking spaces.

In its current iteration, featured on Shvo.com, the building features a sleek glass surface for luxury residences that accommodate a sweeping view of the City with a rooftop pool and other amenities, including 6,650 square feet of ground floor retail space and a streetfacing central courtyard.

“We are thrilled to add 9200 Wilshire to our portfolio of luxury assets in prime locations,” said Shvo in a statement. “Our new residential concept will offer the highest quality of living and amenities, providing extreme value for those seeking something truly exceptional in Beverly Hills” “We are focused on investing in prime sites in key markets with the best teams. There is enormous demand in Beverly Hills for this type of luxury offering, but extremely limited supply. We are excited to partner with SHVO and Bilgili Group to bring Beverly Hills a new, one-of-a-kind luxury residential offer with 9200 Wilshire,” said a statement from Sven Neubauer, chief investment officer of Deutsche Finance.

Shvo partnered with Turkish investor Bilgili Group and Deutsche earlier this year with the purchase of Art Deco-style Raleigh Hotel in Miami and a portion of a Fifth Avenue address that is set to be

converted into Mandarin Oriental Residences luxury condos.

In 2016, Shvo was indicted on a tax evasion case, which he settled for $3.5 million in April, 2018 with the Manhattan District Attorney.

He was alleged to have evaded payment of taxes in excess of $1.4 million on purchases of fine art, jewelry, a Ferrari and furniture and charged with criminal tax fraud in the second, third and fourth degrees, repeated failure to file taxes and offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree, said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. Shvo is an avid art collector and Vance said, “Michael Shvo’s brand of tax evasion was an art form unto itself.”

In his plea agreement, Shvo admitted that he “willfully and intentionally” evaded paying taxes between 2010 and 2016 in the purchase of luxury items and furniture by presenting “false or misleading shipping documentation to the vendors on my behalf, indicating the purchases were being shipped overseas.”

“His reputation in the New York City real estate industry is controversial,” said one source who declined to be named.

Some of Shvo’s redevelopment projects include the Crown Building at 730 Fifth Avenue, a Soho condo project and the redevelopment of a Getty gas station on West 24th Street that he temporarily used for the site of an art installation, complete with metal sheep.

New Pacific’s history on Wilshire Boulevard includes the project once known as One Beverly Hills, which was the subject of fierce political wrangling between Chinese conglomerate the Dalian Wanda Group and local hotelier Beny Alagem, owner of The Beverly

Hilton, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and Alagem Capital.

New Pacific acquired 9900 Wilshire Blvd. in 2004, the former site of the Robinsons-May department store, next door to The Beverly Hilton, for a reported $33.5 million. It obtained approvals for a luxury mixed-use condominium and retail project, featuring architecture by star architect Richard Meier. The property was then sold to British investors Candy and Candy for $500 million in 2007, soon tumbling into the global recession abyss.

The property was acquired in 2014

by Wanda for $420 million, and entitlements were obtained for a luxury-condominium and hotel project dubbed One Beverly Hills. With a full-court press for approvals and a $64 million development Agreement with the City of Beverly Hills, the project won approvals.

At the same time, Wanda led the opposition to the Hilton tower project in the “No on HH” campaign, a ballot initiative for a proposed single 26-story luxury condominium development associated with the Waldorf Astoria instead of the two smaller towers already entitled for the space.

Chinese government policy changes led Wanda to unload the site, along with dozens of properties around the world.

After a year on the market, the property estimated at $1.2 billion sold for a reported $420 million to Alagem Capital and partner Cain International, in an ironic twist that landed Alagem 17 contiguous acres of prime Beverly Hills real estate.

Last week, it was announced that Norman Foster of Foster + Partners has been tapped to create a new plan for the 9900 Wilshire Blvd. space.

MUSEUM OF THE HOLOCAUST GALA HONORS FLAGG – The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust announced that the honorees for its “2019 Gala Benefit” will include Beverly Hills celebrity realtor Josh Flagg along with Patsy and Arnold Palmer. The event, scheduled for October 30, will be hosted by Melissa Rivers at The Beverly Hilton.

Documentary Chronicles Granddaughter’s Search For Art Lost In The Holocaust

Boxing Lessons, Beverly Hills Financial Planner’s Latest Play, Now Running In L.A.

Chasing Portraits, Elizabeth Rynecki’s documentary about her search to track down her great-grandfather’s lost art, opens Friday, May 17 at Laemmle’s Music Hall, 9036 Wilshire, Beverly Hills.

Moshe Rynecki (1881-1943) was a prolific Warsaw-based artist who painted scenes of the Polish-Jewish community until he was murdered at Majdanek concentration camp.

After the Holocaust, Moshe’s wife was only able to recover a small fraction of his work, but unbeknownst to the family, many other pieces survived.

Elizabeth Rynecki grew up surrounded by her great-grandfather’s paintings prominently displayed on the walls of her family home. The launching of an online gallery in 1999 and the discovery of her grandfather’s memoir Surviving Hitler In Poland—where he urged her to “pursue truth”—launched Rynecki quest to find more of the artist’s reported 800-work catalogue.

Her journey takes her to Stanford University where she meets with an expert to see if the family has a legal claim to the paintings; to Toronto to meet the son of Jewish partisan fighters who has four of the paintings; to the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw where she views 52 works, and where she meets a private collector who gifts her one of the paintings because he believes it belongs with the family.

Her final stop is Yad Veshem, the

By Steve Simmons Can one be a successful financial advisor and playwright? Yes, says John Bunzel, a certified financial planner practitioner at a leading Beverly Hills wealthmanagement company who is seeing his latest play, Boxing Lessons, have its world premiere at The New American Theatre, 1312 N. Wilton Place, Hollywood, now through June 2.

Bunzel, who graduated from the Juilliard School studying acting, had always been interested in finance. In the ‘90s, he had the opportunity to work as a production executive learning the ins and outs of film funding, sales and delivery.

“In many ways I was an artist who was a frustrated businessman,” says Bunzel.

After overseeing the production of several multi-million dollar films around the world, he was recruited into the financial services field and now uses all he learned helping clients in the entertainment field. “I’ve worked all sides of the business.

“And I’ve always wanted to stay connected to the theater,” says Bunzel. “This production gives me the chance to follow my passion. I’m the luckiest guy in the world because I have my career, and playwriting, because I love it.”

This latest play studies what happens when a famous writer dies under mysterious circumstances and family and friends gather in his cabin on a remote island in the Puget Sound to box up his belongings. As they go through the clutter dad left behind, hidden family secrets come to light — and they all come to realize just how much they both despise and love one another.

“They are packing and unpacking and duking it out literally and figuratively,” says Bunzel.

Bunzel has wanted to write the play since the death of both of his parents within the last six years. “It’s pretty profound when your parents pass away and I wanted to find a find a way to deal with the emotions it stirred up, create a fictional world and process my feelings.”

Bunzel designed the play as a dark comedy, his favorite genre. “I love the ability to tell a dramatic story and also make people laugh,” says Bunzel. “The

famed Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, where Rynecki’s “Refugee” is prominently displayed.

Ultimately, Elizabeth decides that she is an historian, rather than a claimant. ”Getting paintings back is only one form of justice,” says Rynecki.

“Being able to share my great-grandfather’s art with others is a form of social and historical justice. Seeing audiences discover his work feels like an enormous win and his paintings are survivors of their own.”

Elizabeth Rynecki will take part in post-screening Q&A’s opening weekend.

audience experiences a wide range of emotions and it’s a tightrope for the actors as it has to stay funny. It’s hard to pull off and you have to strike the right tone. I find it endlessly fascinating.”

“Each of the characters in John Bunzel Boxing Lessons possesses a zany pride, a desire to always come out on top and to control the situation, which is what drives the humor. But, in the end it’s about forgiveness, and that’s the serious substance underneath that makes the comedy so authentic,” says director Jack Stehlin.

Artistic director of the New American Theatre and Bunzel’s Juilliard classmate, Stehlin has directed six of Bunzel’s plays.

(Delirious, Death of a Buick, Gravity Shoes, 63 Trillion, Expecting Bobby and Complexity) “We have the same training and we look at theatre the same way,“ says Bunzel. “We have a longstanding partnership. He has a lot of faith in my work and he’s instrumental in keeping me writing.”

“Boxing Lessons deals with secrets,” Bunzel says, “and how transformative a death can be in bringing a family together for a shared experience.”

In the play, two sons, one with special needs, a daughter and their mother/ex-wife learn things they never knew about the father/husband as “things that we kept hidden are revealed,” said Bunzel.

“They learn about themselves through the mourning process and it reflects what I went though in my own experience in dealing with that critical moment where our parents are gone and our lives are forever different after that.”

Performances are 8 p.m., FridaySaturday and 3 p.m., Sundays.

Tickets are $35. To purchase and for more information, call 310-424-2980 or visit www.newamericantheatre.com/.

THE FASHION OF BEVERLY HILLS

L.A. Fashion Icon Max Azria Dead At 70

By Victoria Talbot Legendary fashion icon Max Azria, whose designs rocked the fashion industry when he established BCBG Max Azria in 1989 has died, according to Apparel News.

The Tunisian-born 70-year old fashion icon reportedly passed away from lung cancer Monday in a Houston hospital.

BCBG is a French acronym for "bon chic, bon genre," or "good style, good attitude."

He launched BCBG Max Azria in 1989, winning the appreciation of celebrities such as Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian. At the height of his empire, he had over 500 stores worldwide and his clothing was carried in every major department store. His Max Azria Atelier gowns have been worn by celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone, Fergie and Halle Berry.

He acquired the Hervé Léger label in 1998, the first time an American fashion designer had taken over a French couturier.

He re-launched Hervé Léger in 2007 with his own designs, which quickly gained favor.

In 2008, he launched a younger, contemporary line, BCBGeneration, naming Joyce Azria, his oldest daughter, as creative director.

In 2009, he teamed with Miley Cyrus to create a clothing line for Walmart.

Azria believed in making his fashion more affordable and for that, he was inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers in

1998.

In 2016, Azria left his company.

Investors Guggenheim Partners owned most of the company's debt and the BCBGMaxAzria Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2017 over a debt load of $485 million.

The company was sold to Marquee Brands and Global Brands Group in 2017, keeping the Los Angeles brand alive and about 20 stores open.

Max Azria is survived by his wife, Lubov Azria, creative director at BCBGMaxAzria Group, and six children, Michael, Chloe, Marine, Agnes, Anais and Joyce.

Max’s brother Serve Azria is also a Los Angeles fashion designer and founder of Joie, Current/Elliott and Equipment.

The City Council was unanimous in its support of the BOLD summer plans.

“These are great events our community can partake in, it creates a sense of community and fits in with our arts and culture,” Mayor John Mirisch said.

“It’s enriching for our city in many ways.”

COMPLETE STREETS (continued from page 1)

“incorporate green infrastructure,” “flexible curb space,” “placemaking,” “scramble crossings,” “low-stress bikeways,” and other industry terms are not defined.

Much of the report is dedicated to analysis of generic material, such as crosswalk types, bike lane varieties and federal transit policies.

The document was not made available in hard copy unless a stakeholder opted to print it out or sought out reading a copy at the City Clerk’s Office or the public library.

During the public comment period, to date, only 38 unique individuals contributed a total of 150 comments on the Draft Complete Streets Plan, which indicates multiple comments from each individual.

Complete Streets, according to the document, was a “community driven” project to present a “framework for programs, policies, and infrastructure projects that will make navigating the City easier, more enjoyable, and more equitable across modes: people on foot, on wheels, riding transit, and in cars.”

However, participation in this important project was limited to less than a few hundred people in a City with 35,000 residents and a daytime population estimated between 150,000 and 200,000 people.

In a City with an average age more than 12 years older than surrounding Los Angeles, West Hollywood and Santa Monica, seniors are poorly represented. They would have had to visit the City’s website online and print their own copy of the document, or go to the library or City Hall to read it or view it online because the hefty document was not printed and distributed to the public.

During the meeting, Traffic and Parking Commissioner Nooshin Meshkaty pointed out that a Board of Education member who attended the meeting had never seen the Complete Streets Draft Plan and was not aware of it. Outreach was not conducted to the school district.

Every commission and nearly all of the public comments expressed disappointment with the document.

Vice Chair Jake Manaster argued,

“It is a new day for California lenders and borrowers who are now free to contract without a prophylactic rule that was inhibiting additional loans to the same borrower by the same lender,” he said.

“For two decades… the court held that ‘where a creditor makes two successive loans secured by separate deeds of trust on the same real property and forecloses under its senior

Manaster felt strongly that having a document, however vague, was an important “starting point” for progress.

“As a living document, we can add stuff along the way,” said Chair Jay Solnit.

The budget for the draft Complete Streets plan was $150,000.

The final draft plan incorporated comments from an estimated 40 participants at a Complete Streets Workshop on March 12, 2018; a “pop-up” at the Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market on Earth Day, April 15, 2018; a “walk-audit” and an online survey with leading questions that produced 250 unique responses.

Over the past year, as staff and Iteris consultants conducted community outreach, on several occasions, the City Council commented on items that would enhance the pedestrian experience and create a “village-like” atmosphere. Among those items was to close, partially close, or manipulate metered parking on some streets in the business district, to create a better pedestrian experience. Mayor John Mirisch used Larchmont Village as an example.

The result is a proposal that focuses on enhanced bike lanes as a means of removing cars from the streets, or “nudging the residents,” out of their cars, said John Lower of Iteris, a traffic consulting firm that led the team of consultants that created the report.

By promoting car-sharing programs, he said, residents can “opt in” to “reduce the number of vehicles on the street, competing and freeing up space,” he said. “Don’t build in immediate opposition – opt in the more aggressive projects as the neighborhoods embrace them.”

Rather than providing a blueprint to promote a pedestrian-friendly business district, prepare for the incoming subway stops, add bike lanes, enhance crosswalks, provide strategic cut-outs for ride-sharing and locate parking for scooters and bikes – which the City Council asked for – the Draft Complete Streets Plan appears to be a blueprint of strategies for social engineering, as Lower’s comments suggest.

The plan falls short of describing the infrastructure, naming potential grant funding, creating a clear path to achieve all or parts of the plan, or specific enhancements and an action plan

deed of trust’s power of sale, thereby eliminating the security for its junior deed of trust, section 580d… bars recovery of any ‘deficiency’ balance due on the obligation the junior deed of trust secured,” read the court’s opinion, written by Associate Justice Goodwin H. Liu. “There is no evidence to suggest that the two notes in this case arose from intentional loan splitting: they were executed in separate transactions more than two years apart.”

There is no evidence that Black Sky’s purchase of the property for $7.5 million at public auction was “a lowball bid designed to ‘effect an excessive recovery by obtaining a deficiency judgement’ on the junior lien.”

“Equitable considerations favor placing this burden on the debtor, not only because it is his default that provokes the senior sale, but also because he

to achieve those goals.

Public comment Wednesday evening was withering.

“Long on context… short on infrastructure,” said Mark Elliot, a cycling enthusiast and author of the Better Bike blog. Elliot encouraged his readers to follow the links in the blog to read the document. “Look past the pictures, tables, colorful charts and icons to see that the infrastructure, policy and program options comprise only 30 pages.

Just three additional pages suggest the proposed implementation. Despite its heft, this draft is light on vision: it

May 10, 2019 | Page 17 has the benefit of his bargain with the junior lienor who, unlike the selling senior, might otherwise end up with nothing,” according to the opinion.

“There is no purpose in denying the junior his single remedy after a senior private sale… The junior’s right to recover should not be controlled by the whim of the senior…”

“Because no sale occurred under the deed of trust securing the junior note in this case section 580d does not bar deficiency judgement on the junior note.”

“This holding is an apex case in my career,” said Richards. “This was one of the most influential as it overturned four different appellate decisions. It effects millions and millions of loans. This effects people in Beverly Hills who have equity trapped in their property and need options on how to get it out.”

doesn’t even begin to suggest what the bikeways network should look like.”

The Traffic and Parking Commission voted unanimously to approve the Complete Streets Draft Plan.

Pubic comment will be open until May 17; it will be included in the final report that is sent to City Council, probably sometime in June. If approved by the City Council, planning and implementation will begin. It is anticipated by the Traffic and Parking Commission that implementation will be in accordance with grant programs and schedules, Federal and otherwise.

TEENS IN LEADERSHIP – The Beverly Hills Teen Advisory Committee (TAC) is celebrating 11 years of successfully engaging kids in grades 6-10 from BHUSD schools, as well as residents that attend private schools, to get involved in their community. TAC works with the Community Services Department to generate new ideas, identify problems and suggest solutions. This year, the department planned and executed several community events, including an outdoor movie night and canned food drive, making dog collars for an Amanda Foundation fundraiser at Woofstock, a cards-and-caroling event for seniors at Silverado Beverly Place Memory Care and the annual Teen Leadership Day at City Hall.

PERFORMING ARTS (continued from page 1)

discussions were ongoing about Theatre 40 sharing its space on unused dates with the performing arts department.

“It’s all preliminary right now,” Margo told the Courier.

“We’re trying to give our students and teachers the space they need, while also accommodating Theatre 40, which has stated they are willing to share dates.”

Margo said a major issue under consideration is that the district needs a space not just for performing arts, but also other school functions.

“It’s really an assembly space for the school in a lot of ways,” Margo said. “The major function is performing arts, but it goes beyond that.”

Margo pointed out there was no large space on the BHHS campus for students to gather, aside from the Jon Cherney Lecture Hall, which is where Board of Education meetings are held.

"But this is less than 100 seats," Margo added.

Superintendent Dr. Bregy said BHUSD vocal music teacher Stacey Kikkawa and instrumental music teacher Bill Bradbury have been involved in discussions on where to move the performing arts departments for the next two years during construction.

BHUSD would be the first Southern California school to house its performing arts programs in an alternative structure.

In 2017, the Orange County Register featured five OC-area high school theater programs that staged performances in out-of-the-box venues, such as a performance tent.

According to the article, Santa Margarita Catholic High staged performances in a tentlike structure referred to as The Dome, and students wore shirts proclaiming “There’s no place like Dome.”

The article describes an interior with “risers for audience seating and a stage on the ground floor. Since there is a limited backstage area, the department rents trailers for makeup and costumes, as well as an additional tent that serves as a dressing room and prop storage.”

One student was quoted in the article as saying that the tent structure presented certain limitations, such as less-thanideal acoustics and lights that can only be hung so high, but added that he felt that gave them a leg up on students from other schools.

“We’re able to adapt,” the student, Griffin Webb, told the OC Register. “Our brains are always working and thinking like a theater deviser.”

As discussions are still in

preliminary stages, the Beverly Hills Board of Education is not far enough in its plans yet to begin fleshing out anything that detailed.

“It’s important for us to find a way to co-exist,” said boardmember Tristen WalkerShuman. “There are so many different needs, but the students have to take a priority, while still recognizing the value of Theatre 40. I love the idea of a tent, but the question is how quickly can we make sure it’s built?”

On Tuesday, the Board of Education gave direction to Bregy to research pricing and construction timeline information and get back to the school board as soon as possible with its options.

Not everyone is thrilled with the potential changes.

Shortly after Tuesday’s Board of Education discussion, an anonymous online petition, titled “SAVE BHHS' MUSIC & THEATRE DEPARTMENT” popped up.

The petition argues that placing performing arts students in a tent-like structure can be hazardous to students.

As of press time, the petition – which can be found at https://www.change.org/p/bh usd-board-of-education-district-administration-bhusds av e - b h h s - m u s i c - t h e a t e rdepartment – had only four signatures.

Cedars-Sinai to provide a freeof-charge smoking cessation program to individuals living or working in Beverly Hills. (For more information and to schedule an appointment, contact Cedars-Sinai Medical Network at 310-385-3534, or visit www.beverlyhills.org/smoking).

The ordinance also supports those affected by secondhand and third-hand smoke and youths who are the focus of ingenious marketing by companies that produce candy-flavored vaping products, which has been on the agenda of several City Council meetings over the past five years.

During the process, commissioners heard testimony from 57 speakers and received 170 letters.

The Draft Ordinance will return to the City Council on May 21 for a first reading. The second reading and final vote would be June 4.

Under the proposed ordinance, the City’s three existing cigar lounges, including the Buena Vista Cigar Club, the Grand Havana Room and Nazareth’s, would be exempted, and no new cigar clubs would be granted permits.

Hotels will be able to provide cigarettes only for their guests, and only through concierge services, (absent any retail product displays) and they are prohibited from selling to non-guests.

The provision of the availability of cigarettes/tobacco products is not about generating revenue, nor is it a reflection of advocating for tobacco use.

“This is solely about service, the responsibility of hotels to provide our guests with services and products that they need, want and expect,” said Peninsula Hotel Managing Director Offer Nissenbaum.

“Visitors, and particularly international travelers to Beverly Hills, have expectations of fulfilling their requests with urgency.”

All other retailers, including two grocery stores, six gas stations, and nine convenience stores or pharmacies, will be prohibited from selling tobacco products on Jan. 1, 2021.

The City Council will review the ordinance in three years for its effectiveness.

Beverly Hills appears to be the first city in the United States poised to ban the sale of all tobacco products. The proposed ordinance comes with the caveat to anticipate legal challenges.

“Neither Federal nor California law would preempt a comprehensive ban on tobacco sales,” according to the staff report. Federal law preserves the power of local governments to enact regulations more stringent than the U.S. Food & Drug Administration authority.

BEVERLY HILLS “Courts have not yet reviewed citywide bans on tobacco sales, however, so there is still uncertainty as to whether a court would uphold this type of ban if challenged,” read the staff report.

“Given that no other city in the United States has adopted a comprehensive ban on all tobacco products, the City is likely to face legal challenges.

The City should be willing to appropriately address these challenges, which could include substantial litigation expenses.”

The ordinance will contain an additional element for a Hardship Exemption to mitigate challenges brought on by a ban to a business that can demonstrate the extent to which they are affected by the impending ban. Exemption requests will be considered by a hearing officer to determine approval or denial.

For business impact mitigation, the Health & Safety Commission recommends counseling through the Small Business Development Center at El Camino College or representatives from SCORE, a resource partner for the Small Business Administration.

The Chamber of Commerce will also meet with business owners to provide one-on-one advice.

Beverly Hills was the first city to ban smoking in restaurants, retail stores, all public meetings in 1987. Then, as now, opposition from the business community dominated the discussion.

In 2014, while mayor, Councilmember Lili Bosse launched the “Beverly Hills Healthy City” initiative with her trademark Walk with the Mayor campaign.

“Our goal is to be the healthiest City,” Bosse said.

“We are not telling people that they can’t smoke; we are showing that we value the quality of life.”

In 2017, the City prohibited smoking – of traditional tobacco products, vape products and marijuana - in the public right-of-way, increased the open-air dining no-smoking buffer zone from five feet to 20 feet, and adopted a new ordinance to prohibit smoking in all multi-family dwellings, including condominiums.

Those businesses were dealt a blow last year when the City Council banned the sale of flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes, vape products and accessories, effective Jan. 1, 2019.

This week, Walmart announced it would limit tobacco product sales to those age 21-and-over. In 2015, CVS Health became the first national retail pharmacy to ban the sale of cigarettes, and launched a $50 million initiative to help people quit smoking.

“Somebody has to be first,” said Mayor John Mirisch. “Let it be us.”

Now in the midst of its Centennial celebration, Otis College of Art and Design held the 37th “Scholarship Benefit and Fashion Show” on its Elaine and Bram Goldsmith campus to salute the year-long collaboration between Otis students and a wide array of creative talent from some of the world’s best known fashion brands, stylists and designers.

Honored was Shelley Reid, who has served as the benefit’s chair for nearly two decades.

The event showcases interworkings between industry mentors and students in the Otis fashion design program. During the gala dinner, alumni including Arthur Tham- mavong, now a designer at Vince, recounted the vital role the scholarship funds provide to students like himself in their quests to achieve a real education in fashion.

Other alumni designers who participated as mentors this year included Bao Tranchi, Debbie Sabet, and Jennifer Tong. They were joined by Patrik Ervell, designer for Vince; creative

talent from Ralph Lauren; celebrity stylist B. Akerlund; and Eduardo Castro, costume designer for ABC-TV’s Once Upon A Time. Of particular note this year was Jason Wu’s collaboration with Mary and David Martin’s foundation Madworkshop.

The runway fashion show spotlighted some 125 unique student designs, and at its conclusion, Soo Min Chun was named “Student Designer of the Year” by Jill Zeleznik, chair of the Otis fashion design program. Be on the lookout for the fantastic fashions from lots of talented up and coming designers. ******

Though called “La Odisea,” it was actually the 34th edition of the John Wayne Cancer Institute Auxiliary’s Odyssey Ball held last Saturday at Montage Beverly Hills. The venue looked drop-dead gorgeous with a rich cream color scheme and splashes of color inspired by the Cinco de Mayo holiday with many guests adding bright fiesta or Southwestern touches to their attire – bolo ties, floral embroidery, serape sashes, and plenty of Stetsons.

Co-chaired by Katie Lewis and Marisol Zarco, the event honored renowned neuroligist and neurooncologist Santosh Kesari, M.D. Ph.D. with the Duke Special Service Award and philanthropist Dan Hay with the Generation of Hope Award.

Auxiliary President Martha Harper welcomed the guests and introduced Anita Swift, John Wayne’s granddaughter and an 18-year boardmember of the institute.

She remarked about its past and present accomplishments including 30 clinical trials in progress and the publishing of more than 60 scientific findings in the past year, all involving the cancer research.

Anita then presented Dan Hay with his award.

He is the founder of Premier Girls Fastpitch and Surf City Tourneys, whose mission is to promote female student athletes, and make them and their families aware of breast and skin cancers and their prevention. During the past seven years, his tournaments have raised $350,000 in donations for the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center.

Co-honoree Dr. Kesari was introduced by one of his patients, Pastor Rich Muchow of Saddleback Church. The India-born Dr. Kesari currently oversees 90 clinical trials, is on 10 bio tech advisory boards, has been awarded 40 grants, sees 120 patients per month, and travels by helicopter to multiple local clinics for consultations as needed.

Following the awards presentation, auctioneer Rick Werner led a spirited appeal pledge session and nearly $500,000 in donations was raised.

The evening concluded with dancing to the Morgan Leigh Band.

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 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 visit the website below using the file number assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected on the Internet Web site.

Another Phobia From Roger Lefkon

THE FEAR OF WAITING

After you discover all of the things that can go wrong, as I have, life becomes less about living and more about waiting. The dictionary defines waiting as a period of time in which you do very little before something happens. Sort of like foreplay.

My fear of waiting knows no boundaries.

Whether it’s standing in line for hours at a Disney amusement park to board the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, which like the dwarfs, is a bit on the short side, lasting a thrill packed 2-1/2 minutes; falling victim to an airport trifecta, a series of events that includes waiting in traffic to get to LAX, marking time in an airport security line and then asking a TSA agent for help in finding my shoes which entails waiting on a lost & found line where you are called by shoe size and then waiting at the gate as a result of a flight delay; being next at the supermarket checkout counter just as the cashier’s shift ends and enduring an interminable wait while a replacement arrives with his own cash drawer and proceeds to tally up all of the bills making sure that every presidents’ face is pointing in the same direction, then removing the quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies from wrappers, each holding 100 coins, and carefully placing them in their respective compartments by year.

One of the most disheartening waits takes place in a radiology facility. Once my clothes have been locked away, I am confronted with the intricacies of how to dress in a flimsy cotton hospital gown without exposing myself. If you haven’t read the best-selling manual Dress For Your Test, this can be a task equivalent to solving a Rubik’s Cube. The wait continues as I am placed onto an open bed and a technician proceeds to slide me into a cramped MRI scanner where I wait 90 minutes for the banging to stop and Ella Fitzgerald to finish singing I’m Bidin’ My Time. I then cool my heels for several days waiting to receive the test results which can turn out to be reassuring or devastating. Regrettably, biding one’s time is not always a rewarding experience.

Another fear of mine is taking a sleeping pill and then waiting to fall asleep. After hours of tossing, turning, listening to waves roll in on my sound machine, consuming a late night snack, surfing the internet and reading a book about sheep who count people to induce sleep, I finally manage to doze off only to wake up in the mid-

dle of the night for yet another visit to the water closet. As my urologist, the acclaimed Dr. Stuart Holden, is so fond of saying: “good things come to those who wait.”

The anxiety of waiting can be grueling to endure. Queuing experts estimate that some people spend a year or two of their lives waiting and that includes being stuck in traffic, waiting for water to boil, standing around waiting for an elevator, waiting for a banana to ripen, kindling waiting for a spark, being wait listed for a dinner reservation at Pink’s hot dog stand, waiting for an entire year for new episodes of Game Of Thrones, feeling like a penny waiting for change, waiting for a surprise party when I turn 100 and then waiting for the Pearly Gates to swing open; waiting in the wings to replace your boss and, as my mother used to say after seeing my report card, “Wait ‘til your father gets home.”

I have spent a considerable amount of time waiting for my ship to come in during which time I have waited for the other shoe to drop which is comparable to waiting for an accident to happen. Like waiting alone at the altar, waiting with bated breath for “Miss Right” to come along can turn into a waiting game until finally the moment I have been waiting for arrives and the love of my life, no longer a lady in waiting, waltzes into my world expecting to be waited on hand and foot proving once again that things worth having are worth waiting for.

When waiting is not an option you can hire a fully vetted, professional line sitter who, for about $25 an hour, will act as your stand-in and text you when to take your place in the column as the finish line approaches. This can be an effective way to survive the horror of Black Friday and in doing so grab the newest Nike sneakers, Apple iPhone and Glock 23 handgun, favored by the CIA, FBI and the AARP. In the waiting room of life marking time for good things to happen, while a means of acquiring patience, is definitely not for most of us and like my wife, who relishes the adrenalin rush of being late, is so fond of saying: “laugh and the world laughs with you, be prompt and you dine alone.”˚

Starnes founded the Heart Institute after joining CHLA in 1992, and launched CHLA’s pediatric heart transplant program a year later.

Today, he specializes in treating damaged heart valves with minimally invasive repairs and valve replacements in children.

Starnes earned his medical degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and conducted his general surgery training at Vanderbilt University, where he also completed two years of research in cardiothoracic physiology and pharmacology. He went on to complete two years at Stanford University as a resident in cardiovascular surgery and one year as chief resident in cardiac transplantation. He then accepted a fellowship in pediatric cardiovascular surgery at the Hospital for Sick Children in London.

When he returned to Stanford, he was appointed director of its heart-lung transplantation program.

organizations dedicated to cardiothoracic surgery,” said Starnes. “As we look to the year ahead, AATS will continue in its commitment to encourage, promote and advance the field of cardiothoracic surgery, and further its significant contributions to the care and treatment of cardiothoracic disease.”

In addition to serving as chair of the Department of Surgery, Starnes is also executive director of the USC CardioVascular Thoracic Institute and the H. Russell Smith Foundation Chair for Stem Cell and Cardiovascular Thoracic Research at the Keck School. He joined USC in July 1992.

As executive director of the CardioVascular Thoracic Institute, Starnes has built an interdisciplinary powerhouse composed of clinicians and scientists exploring innovative ways to treat heart disease. Under his leadership, USC surgeons have conducted more than 50,000 adult and pediatric open-heart surgeries to repair and replace valves, create coronary artery bypasses and repair complex adult and congenital heart

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 10). You show up to handle things. Or you just show up, and then life gives you new things to handle.

Because you’re bold and public about being ready for anything, you'll quickly find the people and jobs most suited to you. The words that best characterize this solar return are: industrious, collective and fulfilling. Gemini and Aquarius adore you.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). There are days to meander, thus increasing your chances for inspiration, felicity and novelty, and days when meandering will disproportionate increase your desire to stay the course (today).

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you get too caught up in small details that don’t matter, it will set off alarms in your head that say you might be playing too small. Pay attention to bigger things and the alarms subside.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s said that when one door closes other opens. Since 90 percent of the doors you walk through will be opened or closed by your own hand on the knob, don’t wait around for any of that nonsense.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always do things for the money. In fact, for you to get involved, there have to be at least two other good reasons beyond the financial. If the proposed line of action will lead to a better story, you’re likely to take it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). On some level, it’s good to be among people who make you feel uncomfortable. In that environment, you’ll learn very fast and in ways that couldn’t be duplicated in any other setting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Many minds on the problem make excellent solutions more likely. If the others are thinking big, try thinking small. If they are thinking fantastical, think practical.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Doing what's fair and doing what’s correct are often the same action. Not always. Today shows you an instance where following the rules and the “correct” way is actually biased and unfair.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though wishing can’t make it so, much that is so began with a wish. Spend time with people who follow through and you'll be inspired to do the same.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While it may feel momentarily great to be the smartest person in the room, it’s a sign that you’re in the wrong room. Go where you can learn something from the others.

You’ll thrive in environments that challenge you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s so much that can be solved with proper sleep that it could be a major waste to apply any other fix before the right amount of rest and relaxation has been achieved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Honesty is an expensive emotional investment. You have to be rich in integrity to be honest, and have deep pockets of courage, too, because it’s risky to tell people what they might not want to hear.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You can see the flaws, but only a spoilsport would be quick to point them out. You hang back, cool and observant. Some people are still having fun trying to believe, and what’s the harm in that?
