Seven New Red Light Cameras Come To Beverly Hills In June

By Victoria Talbot Beware drivers! Red light cameras that have been idle in the City since January will soon be back online.

The City has changed vendors, installing new technology at the five existing intersections and adding an additional four intersections to the mix.

Seven new red light cameras will be coming online in Beverly Hills, bringing the total number of cameras to 15.

Lt. Mike Foxen, BHPD traffic bureau commander, originally expected the cameras to be working by February. However, delays have pushed the schedule first to April, then to June.

Unlike the older cameras installed in 1997, the new cameras are quite visible, such as the one pictured at the infamous Wilshire-Whittier intersection. (see ‘RED LIGHT CAMERAS’ page 7)

EBI-Related Woes Not Over For BHUSD: District Sued For $457,000 By Madison

By Laura Coleman Evidence-Based Inc. (EBI) is no longer providing security for Beverly Hills Schools, but the district apparently still needs some protection.

The BHUSD is now the subject of a lawsuit filed by Madison Resource Funding Corp., which is seeking $457,031.41. Madison is the company EBI used to provide short-term funding.

In a lawsuit filed last week in L.A. County Superior Court, Madison goes after BHUSD, Board President Brian Goldberg, Board VP Howard Goldstein and boardmembers Lewis Hall and Noah Margo

alleging breach of contract, aiding and abetting fraud and conversion.

The lawsuit alleges that Madison and EBI entered into an agreement on May 29, 2013 to provide payroll and billing services to EBI. As part of that agreement, EBI was prohibited from directly invoicing its customers or receiving sums from them.

The lawsuit states: “EBI concealed from Madison the fact that EBI had invoiced BHUSD directly and concealed that EBI had received funds from BHUSD directly.” (see ‘MADISON LAWSUIT’ page 16)

Perhaps best known for his iconic roles on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, at 89, Beverly Hills resident Richard Anderson has “at last” released the story of his life in Richard Anderson: At Last...A Memoir. The book, which came out this week, offers a treasure trove of vignettes culled from experiences in the film business, where he worked with such luminaries as Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner.

In fact, it was Cary Grant himself who took a personal interest in helping Richard shape his career.

Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS REVISING AND CODIFYING RECONSTRUCTION STANDARDS RELATING TO BUILDINGS DAMAGED

BY DISASTER In 1995 the City adopted an Ordinance to establish a program to facilitate reconstruction of commercial and residential areas after a disaster. On June 8, the City Council will consider an Ordinance to revise and codify the existing program. A majority of the proposed revisions consist of minor language changes to bring the program into conformance with the current structure and practices of the Community Development Department. An additional revision would extend the length of time that a temporary structure or use, as allowed by the program, can be in place after a disaster from 90 days to 180 days, with the possibility of a one-time 180-day extension.

A resolution recommending City Council adoption of the Ordinance was previously reviewed and adopted by the Planning Commission on April 9, 2015.

This 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.

This City Council will consider finding the Ordinance exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, regarding minor changes in land use limitations.

Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission.

At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all comments. All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may also be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The comments should be received prior to the hearing date.

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, Associate Planner, Community Development Department, at 310.285.1122 or ttway@beverlyhills.org.

Search for Burglary Suspect Snarls Traffic In North Beverly Hills

By Victoria Talbot On Tuesday afternoon, Beverly Hills police officers closed the streets from Rexford Drive north of Sunset and Lexington and between Beverly Drive and Rexford because they were actively engaged in a search for an escaped burglary suspect.

Residents were asked to stay indoors and to bring their pets indoors during the search with police K9 Units.

“Notify 911 immediately if you see any suspicious activity,” Watch Commander Lt. Mark Miner told The Courier.

At approximately 3:48 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, LAPD notified BHPD that a vehicle traveling south on Coldwater Canyon was potentially involved in a burglary just outside Beverly Hills City limits. (see ‘BEVERLY HILLS BURGLARY’ page 16)

Gold Talks Police Chief, Water, Metro At La Cienega Park ‘Meet The Mayor’

By Victoria Talbot Tuesday evening at La Cienega Park, a handful of stakeholders shared an intimate meeting with Mayor Julian Gold, M.D. and his wife, Dr. Michele Gold, expressing their concerns and engaging in a lively exchange on a wide range of topics.

One resident was deeply concerned about recent problems in the Beverly Hills Police Department and asked the mayor: “What can you tell us about the police department and the resignation of Chief (David) Snowden?”

“The chief is retiring, effective June 13. He had surgery last week. Then we will begin the process of recruiting a new chief. In March, the City hired a consulting firm to look at the police department and give us recommendations and we have not received the final re-

port from them. Going forward, we will use that report as a template to improve service,” said Gold.

Gold said it is his belief the City must first hire a city manager and then begin the recruiting process for a new chief. The City will hire an interim chief “to work for 6-8 months as the process will take about a year to complete.”

One attendee was Eagle Scout Alexander Amir Kashfi. Kashfi has been active in seeking protection for the Scout House, an historically significant home to four generations of Beverly Hills Girl and Boy Scouts located adjacent to El Rodeo School. The teen is an involved resident and would like to promote scout’s volunteer activities in the City.

By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education member Noah Margo on Wednesday formally announced he would seek reelection for a second term in the upcoming November election.

“My work isn’t done,” Margo wrote in his announcement letter, which was structured as a letter to his 15-year-old son, Solomon. “I couldn’t in good conscience walk away now right on the brink of seeing my vision through and restoring Beverly Hills’ education to excellence.”

There are three seats that will be up for grabs in the upcoming election when terms end for Margo, Board President Brian Goldberg and boardmember Lewis Hall. Goldberg, former Board of Education President Mel Spitz and Measure E Citizens Oversight Committee member Isabel Hacker have all confirmed their candidacies as well. Retiring Beverly Hills High School Principal Carter Paysinger previously announced his intention to run, but has yet to officially move into the City in order to le-

Margo specified five objectives he intends to address if successfully elected to a second term: 1. Complete construction at all five schools; 2. Maintain and grow BHUSD’s budget surplus; 3.

Promote teacher excellence; 4. Introduce innovative technology-driven instruction; and 5. Focus on education over litigation.

“Three years ago, I committed myself and this family to making a real impact for our schools,” Margo wrote.

“The sacrifice is worth it. It’s worth it because your future and the future of your classmates depend on it.”

El Rodeo Fun Run Raises $73,000 For School

By Laura Coleman The fun never ends at El Rodeo - especially for the 120 students who raised more than $500 each at the school’s recent FunRun. Those lucky young philanthropists scored an off-campus lunch with Principal Kevin Allen at Beverly Hills High School on Wednesday, complete with a party bus to take them there. In total, the school raised $73,000 through the event.

In partnership with The Beverly Hilton and the BHHS

culinary arts students, the El Rodeo FunRunners were treated to a special four-course lunch. On the menu: a choice of roasted turkey, tuna or caprese sandwiches; tropical fruit; homemade chocolate chip cookies. Plus, a popcorn bar.

“This activity is a great example of our commitment to exemplary programs offered throughout the district," Allen said. "We are proud to partner with the high school and the Beverly Hilton in showing our students the opportunities that

exist within BHUSD.” After lunch, which was on the high school’s front lawn, the students toured the high school (their future destination!), as well as participated in a Q&A session with BHHS student chefs and The Beverly Hilton's award-winning executive pastry chef, Thomas Henzi.

Said Henzi: “Their passion is inspiring and to be able to have one on one time with the children to discuss their career aspirations and dreams has been incredibly rewarding.”

Beverly Hills To Form Strategic Partnership With Israel

By Victoria Talbot The City of Beverly Hills is preparing a Memorandum of Understanding for a strategic partnership with the state of Israel.

Consul Gen. of Israel in Los Angeles David Siegel joined Monday’s City Council meeting to discuss some of the items that may form a partnership for joint innovation, exchanges and cooperation with Israel, a worldwide leader in water conservation, aquifers, conservation technology, storm water management and many other areas concerning water.

In addition, said Siegel, Israel is also a leader in cyber security. “Israel is known as the ‘start-up nation’ with an ecosystem of start-ups and development. Israel can be of huge benefit on water issues

both locally and statewide.”

The purpose of this agreement would be be to coordinate initiatives, facilitate collaboration for entrepreneurs and researchers, to support and encourage public-private partnerships, to strengthen the sister-city programs and promote mutual cooperation in key sectors.

Israel has already entered into similar agreements with the city of Los Angeles and the state of California, and has formed a task force with West Hollywood on HIV/AIDS to work on social, clinical and scientific research in issues related to HIV/AIDS. All members of the City Council unanimously supported the agreement. City staff will come back with an MOU that includes but is not limited to: water conservation and (see ‘ISRAEL PARTNERSHIP’ page 14)

Lucienne remained highly doubtful but appreciative of the flattery, since Dior then was only 52. In the autumn of that year, Dior collapsed at a spa in northern Italy, dying of massive heart failure.

RED LIGHT CAMERAS (Continued from page 1)

Beverly Hills, with its sour reputation as a red-light camera speed trap, is likely to experience a dip in red light violations however, as a result of new statewide laws governing the timing on yellow lights at red light camera intersections.

Currently, cities set the yellow light intervals to the posted speed.

However, the prevailing speed is generally between 5-10 MPH faster. Statistics show that an increase of .5-1-second in the timing of the yellow lights decreases collisions.

As a result of legislation introduced in 2012 by State Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian (AB612), and adopted in December last year by Caltrans in its California Traffic Control Device Manual (CTCDM), by August of 2017 yellow lights must be adjusted to reflect the prevailing speed statewide.

Caltrans mandates that cities with red-light camera-equipped intersections

must adjust their yellow light timing on actual traffic speed by Aug. 1, 2015.

In an email from March 16, Lt. Foxen said, “All of the PRL (photo red light) intersections will meet these guidelines at the time they go operational.”

The City will publish notification when the PRL enforcement is activated.

During the first 30 days of activation warning letters will be sent to drivers in lieu of citations.

Foxen has issued the following schedule for the cameras to become active by June 1 at: Wilshire/Whittier (Eastbound and Westbound), Olympic/Doheny (Eastbound and Westbound), Olympic/Roxbury (Westbound), Olympic Spalding (Eastbound) and Sunset/Hillcrest (Eastbound and Westbound). Becoming active on June 15 are: Beverly Drive/Wilshire (Northbound), S.

Beverly Hills Regulations Not Water Wise Beverly Hills Explores Lifting Artificial The most prevailing questions about Turf Restrictions

By Victoria Talbot At Monday’s study session, the Bev- drought-resistant landscaping include erly Hills City Council learned a lot about landscaping. Pamela Berstler is a sustainable exterior designer and water management expert who has designed award-winning eco-restorative projects nationwide. Managing Member for The Green Gardens Group (G3), Berstler is working with many entities, including the City of Beverly Hills, to create a path to solving the City’s water crisis by making changes in landscapes.

One of the most stunning discoveries at Monday’s study session involved drip irrigation, a very efficient system that provides slow delivery at a speed roots can actually absorb the water, rather than sprinkler irrigation, which saturates the area quickly and inefficiently. Spray delivers about 80-gallons per minute indiscriminately.

Currently, Stage D conservation regulations allow irrigation two times a week for eight minutes. “As guidelines are developed for new landscapes, you can create new guidelines for drip irrigation,” she said. The City will have to amend existing Municipal Codes to accommodate drip.

“Creating irrigation timelines that are time-dependent are difficult to substantiate. Eight minutes two times per week is great for turf, but landscapes that use drip irrigation have different needs. Drip delivers water in gallons per hour rather than gallons per minute,” said Berstler.

“Drip systems should be run once a week or every two weeks for an hour.”

Berstler and Beverly Hills Urban Forester Ken Pfalzgraf explained that proper irrigation looks at a mix of things, including weather, soil, and delivery methods. Both reiterated the importance of evaluating the system for leak detection, over spraying, and the possibility of overwatering.

grass replacement and how to achieve a landscape that is attractive - but uses much less water.

G3 has created a primer for the County of Los Angeles on just that subject, a kind of DIY for watershed friendly landscaping. Clearly, a new paradigm is taking over. “There’s going to be a new normal in landscaping. It is not turf-centric anymore. Its about a way of thinking that is appropriate for our climate.”

G3 is consulting with the City to create a palette of sustainable landscape designs suitable for lawn replacement.

Berstler recommends that homeowners keep a log of how much time they actually spend on their lawns.

If you do want to keep your lawn, maintain it organically. Stop mowing weekly, she says, because growing grass requires more water. The optimal height is three inches, so cut a little bit every 1015 days.

The trick, she says, is overseeding with clover.

Berstler laughed. “We have built our landscaping businesses on applying herbicides to remove clover but it will make your lawn healthy during drought with a lot less water.”

“Clover builds soil, Soil is the essential ingredient to a healthy water-wise garden,” said Berstler. “Clover is a “pioneer” species that is very good at building soil. It’s a nitrogen-fixer. Nitrogen in the soil means the lawn will stay healthy without chemicals. There are no health risks to playing on a lawn with clover.”

Overseeded onto lawn, the grass will look more like a meadow. She says the relationship between the grass and the clover is a “community” that will reduce water requirements by as much as 50-percent. (see ‘WATER WISE’ page 10)

By Victoria Talbot With the state mandate for a cut of 36-percent in the City’s water usage, the City Council considered the pros and cons of artificial turf Monday.

At the study session, in a 4-1 vote, the Council directed staff to provide more detailed information on turf options beyond what was given at the meeting. Only Vice Mayor John Mirisch voted against artificial turf.

Supporters of artificial turf point out that lawns are the biggest water-users on residential property. To meet anticipated cuts, the simplest way is to remove the lawn and replace it with artificial turf.

“I feel that we need to provide many viable alternatives for our residents during this water conservation crisis,” said Councilmember Lili Bosse.

Current zoning codes prohibit the use of nonliving material in front yards and on parkways. Synthetic turf is currently limited to areas that are not visible from the public view shed. Changes would require an amendment to the existing Municipal Code.

The Glendale City Council is also exploring the artificial turf alternative.

Senior Management Analyst Michelle Tse told the council that some advantages to artificial turf include relatively low maintenance, less water requirements, better aesthetics in recent years, and a one-time installation cost.

Disadvantages that Tse outlined included deterioration, wearing out, impacts on existing trees, increasing the City’s overall carbon footprint, and “heat islands,” wear subsoil temperatures climb

dramatically.

Live plant alternatives are favored by the Design Review Commission for the considerable benefit to the environment and aesthetics, but Bosse expressed concern that some residents cannot afford to replace their landscaping and must have a viable alternative to cut water usage.

Over the course of the afternoon, a presentation by Pamela Berstler of Green Gardens Group (G3) raised many other questions about the integrity of the soil and the importance of maintaining living material to preserve the environment and other aspects of the environment.

Beverly Hills Urban Forester Ken Pfaltzgraf expressed his concerns that the City’s trees will not fair well with artificial turf.

Property owners are responsible for the parkways that include mature trees.

Artificial turf may cause damage to trees because, said Berstler, “you’re killing the soil. The surface doesn’t have an oxygen exchange. It’s like putting a plastic bag over the soil.”

Artificial turf has come a long way, Tse pointed out. Many companies provide sophisticated installments that can be quite convincing. Layered beneath the green carpet can be many materials, including ground, recycled rubber from tires, butadiene rubber.

These “crumb rubber” particles contain carcinogens of black carbon and lead, and can seep through the turf into clothing and hair. These black balls have drawn attention to a possible (see ‘ARTIFICIAL TURF’ page 21)

Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee To Support Real Estate Sign Reforms

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce’s Government Affairs Committee voted to support real estate sign reform at a meeting Thursday. Rob Aigner, CEO of Keller Williams, presented a comprehensive review of the City’s sign ordinance and possible changes.

Changes to the ordinance

have been under consideration for the past year.

“The objective is to create a win-win solution,” said Aigner.

“Signage regulations limit realtors and property owners to one 150-square-inch sign, which is not commensurate with other upscale communities. (Local realtor) Michael Libow made a presentation one year ago.”

Current ordinances also limit signage to one 150-inch sign that is 10 feet from the street line. Signs are not permitted on any public right-of-way, including curbs, parkways and driveway approaches. Prohibited are flags, sandwich boards, additional riders and directional signs.

“It’s difficult for consumers to see and to be able to locate properties,” he pointed out.

“Foreign buyers comprise thirty percent in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. They don’t know their way around.”

Aigner compared days on the market in Beverly Hills and

“To reduce water use, focus on building soil that is more permeable, like a sponge. Overseed with clover. Cast the seeds onto the grass mixed with good compost or worm castings right before irrigating. Buy the clover and compost in bulk. Compost, not manure. And make sure that the lawn is aerated one, preferably two times each year with a rentable tool.”

connection between the turf and cancer.

The lower grades of artificial turf provide less savory alternatives. Therefore, the City is exploring setting standards for artificial turf that could protect human health, keep street trees healthy and

Calabasas, which has similar sign ordinances, to Brentwood, Hancock Park and Pacific Palisades that have a 51-day average. Beverly Hills and Calabasas have a 75-day average.

The proposals Aigner promoted including doubling the size of real estate signage to 300 square inches and allowing additional riders to be posted.

They also propose adding one additional flag at the property.

Additionally, the group proposes a maximum of four open house signs that can be placed on public corners, Sundays and Tuesdays 12-5 p.m. and 1-7 p.m. during Daylight Savings Seeding with clover, mowing less and compost will build a nutrient-rich soil that will reduce watering while keeping your lawn looking green even in a time of drought.

At the formal City Council meeting Monday evening, the Council unanimously approved moving forward in the development of a Water Enterprise Plan.

The plan would incorporate conservation strategies, banking water as a commodity that can be used or sold, improving the

months, and possibly, A-frame sandwich signs.

Realtors are calling for loosening of the ordinance, “to give realtors a competitive playing field,” said one attendee. One person suggested that there are enough realtors to fund their own enforcement, or perhaps hire a designated sign company to enforce rules and monitor signage on corners to a designated maximum.

With the chamber supporting the discussion, Beverly Hills realtors’ next step is to bring the discussion to the public for input.

meet the rigorous cutbacks mandated by the State.

Another issue may be requiring a means to deliver water to street trees so they remain healthy.

“Before we go to synthetic turf we should try the living plant material,” insisted Bersler.

“It doesn’t have a down side.”

Berstler talked about options like Buffalo grass and yarrow or overseeding with clover, which produce lawnlike alternatives.

“This is a continuum of change,” said Berstler. “You are in a good place to make changes.”

Vice Mayor Mirisch, who

voted not to explore the artificial turf option said: “Beverly Hills is known as ‘the Garden City’ and, personally, I see no need to Monsantoize our green spaces. Realness matters.

“We do need to be waterwise, but we had a wonderful presentation about all of the varied natural options that save water and are attractive, including natural turf-like options. Hopefully, as I proposed, we will very soon set up demonstration gardens at the Maltz Park and Sunset Reservoir Park to allow residents to visualize just how lovely natural options can be,” he said

City’s Water Treatment Plant and existing wells, and adding wells, a pumping station and a pipeline as part of a strategy to increase water independence.

Currently, 90-percent of the City’s water supply is from the Metropolitan Water District.

The Water Enterprise Plan would reduce that amount to about 75-percent using these strategies, to increase the City’s flexibility in droughts such as this one.

ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M EArmstrong N T Comes Alive In Satchmo At The Waldorf

ROCKIN’THE FESTIVAL—Beverly Hills rocker Steve Cooke (left) sang with the ‘70’s jazz-rock fusion band Oblivion Express, with organ and keys player Brian Auger and drummer Steve Ferrone at the Malibu Guitar festival Sunday. A highlight of the show was Cooke dueting with Kevin Costner for a rousing version of I Shot The Sheriff with the “All Star Jam Band.” Cooke is also busy mixing his new single California Girls Like To Rock ’N’ Roll at Melrose Music Studios on the Raleigh Studios film lot. Earlier this year, Cooke assembled a band for BritWeek, established by Nigel Lithgow and Bob Pierce nine years ago to celebrate the relationships between the UK and California through innovation, business, arts, culture and music. Cooke’s group included drummers Tom Petty, Steve Ferrone and American Adam Gust, both were accompanied by American bass player Michael Bradford, who plays for British musicians Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and Beatle Ringo Starr.

Salsa Sunday At The Wallis The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Pe r f o r m i n g Arts will present “Salsa Sunday with Debbie Allen & Friends,” from noon-2 p.m., Sunday, May 31 at The Wallis.

At the free familyfriendly event, Allen and the Puerto Rican “Prince of Salsa,” Lyrik Cruz, will demonstrate the saucy latin fusion dance style, for all still levels and ages, on the center’s terrace, 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd., with live music and DJs. Refreshments will include food trucks and margaritas.

The event is part of the new Outdoors @ The Wallis program.

Beloved entertainer, trumpet player and jazz pioneer Louis Armstrong comes to life with all his complexities in the one-man show, Satchmo at the Waldorf, playing May 26-June 7 in The Wallis’ intimate Lovelace Studio Theatre.

Star John Douglas Thompson was initially approached by playwright Terry Teachout, long time Wall Street Journal drama critic, to take on the play, an outgrowth of Teachout’s authoritative Armstrong biography, Pops.

Together with director Gordon Edelstein, they’ve crafted a play that goes behind “the man with the horn,” Thompson says, showing his private side and struggles.

In the play, Armstrong is 71 ending a two-week gig at the Waldorf-Astoria and meditating on his legacy, how music entered his life, his four marriages and his complex relationship with his life-long white Jewish manager, Joe Glaser, who Thompson also plays.

Armstrong was way more than the ebullient smiling entertainer who sang Hello Dolly! and What A Wonderful World, says Thompson. Theatregoers will learn about his behind-thescenes support of the Civil

John Douglas Thompson as Louis Armstrong.

Rights movement, what he thought of Dwight Eisenhower, his political leanings, his marijuana use and much more.

As a counterpoint, Teachout has added fellow jazz trumpeter Miles Davis (who Thompson also plays) as the outspoken critic who called Armstrong an “Uncle Tom.” “He was probably the most

powerful voice in the generational warfare,” says Thompson of Davis. “And Davis’ attack really stung Armstrong.”

Boone Tourney Supports Brain Injury Survivors

Ryan’s Reach is a nonprofit founded in the name of Ryan Corbin (Boone’s grandson), who survived a serious fall in June 2001.

Although Corbin is financially secure, his family learned of the personal and financial strains Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) inflict not only on sufferers, but also on their families. Most do not have money to pay for ongoing therapies and equipment; and most families must provide ongoing 24/7 care.

Proceeds help provide both respite care and rehabilitation; and Ryan's Reach is in the process of opening a home to provide respite care for TBI survivors, “allowing their families relief from the daily strain of continuous care.”

Proceeds also support the High Hopes Head injury program’s rehabilitation services.

Participation and sponsorship packages are available, ranging from $400 to $5,000. The day will also include live and silent auctions, closest-to-the-pin and long-drive contests and a chance to win a new car.

To register or donate online, visit www.ryansreach.com. For more information, call 949-246-4328 or email golf@ryansreach.com.

Celebrity Poker Event Benefits UCLA Center For Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy More than 550 people attended the 8th annual Dealing for Duchenne, a starstudded poker tournament and silent auction earlier this month at the Sony Pictures Studios Lot. Emcee Joel Murray (Mad Men) helped the crowd raise $640,000 for the Center for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at UCLA, the only facility in the western U.S. offering research, experimental trials and medical care tailored to Duchenne patients.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy strikes one in 3,300 boys, weakening their muscles until they lose the ability to walk and breathe on their own. Most boys are diagnosed by age 5, confined to a wheelchair by 12 and rarely survive past 25.

Launched eight years ago by parents of local children affected by the disease, the annual event’s proceeds “have led to promising experimental therapies that families hope will one day save their children’s lives.”

“Your presence here tonight reminds us that we are not alone,” said event cochairs Amy and Chris Martin, whose son, Will, was diagnosed with the disease at 5. “Your support empowers us to push harder to save our son and the hundreds of other boys with Duchenne in the world.”

The UCLA event unveiled “Be Reasonable,” a grass-roots campaign appealing to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to fast-track approval for new medicines for Duchenne. Currently, the FDA has not approved a single drug for Duchenne, despite the great need for a therapy to slow progression of the disease and a lineup of several promising candidate drugs in the FDA pipeline.

Guests enjoyed gourmet fare from Wolfgang Puck and included J.J. Abrams (Star Wars, The Force Awakens), Willie Garson (White Collar), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Kevin Weisman (Alias), David Walton (About A Boy) and Matt McCoy (L.A. Confidential).

Mike O’Malley (Glee) presented the Meyer-Whalley Instrument of Change Award to Jenno Topping, president of film at Chernin Entertainment, and Chris Moore, principal of Media Farm, in recognition of their tremendous support of the center.

The award is named for Tom Whalley, former CEO and chairman of Warner Bros., and his wife, Melanie Meyer, who were instrumental in raising money to launch the Center for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at UCLA. For more information on the center, visit www.cdmd.ucla.edu.

He moved to L.A. in 1999, for a combined fellowship in health services research with UCLA’s School of Medicine, the RAND Corporation, and the Greater Los Angeles Veteran’s Administration Medical Center.

In his private practice on Beverly Boulevard, he is considered a preeminent authority in the field of rheumatology and

is a sought-after teacher.

Arthritis is a crippling disease that affects more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children in the nation. In L.A. there are 1.2 million adults and 42,000 children suffering from one of 150 different forms of arthritis.

The annual “Walk To Cure Arthritis” brings together thousands of children and adults suffering from arthritis, as well as members of the residential and business communities. Families form teams and wear colorful shirts in honor or memory of a child or adult in their family who had or has arthritis. Children of all ages, walking or in strollers, are welcome. Pet owners are encouraged to bring their dogs on leashes. There will be live entertainment, a Kids Zone, activities and refreshments before and following the walk.

Walk participants may choose a onemile or three-mile non-competitive course. Thousands of children and adults, along with their family and friends, will enjoy a day of fun and fitness while raising funds for a cure for arthritis.

Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 9 a.m.

On The Key Deal Breakers In Relationships, Is ‘Shut Up’ A Bad Word?

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: What traits should a person never overlook or ignore when dating new people? Are there certain qualities one should never accept—and end the relationship if someone has those traits?

Tracy B. A. Dear Tracy: Deal breakers are discussed by individuals and couples in my psychotherapy practice routinely.

The one deal breaker that cannot and should not be overlooked is sexual chemistry. Most couples who move forward to a deeply committed relationship have their highest levels of physical attraction during the first three months of meeting, what I call the beginning “Honeymoon Phase.”

It is not unusual, however, for some people never to develop chemistry during their courtship. If after three-six months of dating, good communication, and expression of verbal and physical affection there is still no spark, the likelihood is that these two people do not, and will not, have sexual chemistry. It’s a deal breaker.

Other deal breakers are that a potential partner absolutely not have a history of multiple cheating (one cheating breach of trust episode can be repaired and reformed, but not many); physical or emotional abuse; serial lying; retreating into silence during/after arguments (indicates limited communica-

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions tion skills for resolving conflicts); lack of ambition or motivation or professional drive.

One of the non-negotiable deal breakers I have seen in high-achieving professional women, even when they meet a man who has all their other fantasy qualities, is the lack of ambition to forge higher in their profession.

I have also observed several of these couples over years establish, nurture, and create happy, successful relationships in which the female partner becomes the primary breadwinner and the male partner brings in a significantly smaller figure income, but shores up the difference by picking up the extra load in homemaking, care-giving the child(ren), cooking, and other household duties.

Each couple must find and create their own happy balance.

The common denominating requirement is healthy open, honest, straight-talking communication.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: Is “Shut Up” a “bad word”? I generally do try to shield my kids from that phrase, but my older one, age 4, and I really like the song

Shut Up And Dance With Me

and I don’t mind at all when he sings it (my mother, however, disapproves). Was it a bad move for me to let him hear/learn the song, given its use of “Shut up” in the chorus?

Beverly W. A. Dear Andrea: The words “Shut Up” in themselves are not bad words.” However, when used as a slang phrase the connotation is a putdown.

Most kids say “Shut Up” when they are angry.

Encourage healthy expression of anger with other words like, “You hurt my feelings when you say that” or “Please stop mimicking me, I don’t like it when you repeat everything I say.”

If you are a parent and family that supports values in which “we do not hurt each other with our hands or words,” then you must be consistent with your message. This

means that you, as the parent, cannot use putdown “bad words” and then hypocritically tell your kids they can’t.

It also means that when there is a new popular catchy song (however fabulous the tune is) like the current Shut Up And Dance With Me you cannot expose your young child and even join in on the chorus and then not expect him to repeat the phrase out of context at home, on the school yard, or at a play date. He may not get invited back.

Parenting is not an easy job. One thing for sure....it requires clarity. You need to know the map you are following to not confuse your children.

The attendees at the lunch, including Mayor Julian Gold and Women’s Division cochairs Dalia Farkas and Marilyn Ziering, were among the throng of staunch supporters who understand only too well the need for a strong democracy in the Middle East and the importance of helping Israel through purchasing Israel bonds.

“Israel bonds are critical to this relationship,” said Consul Gen. of Israel David Siegel who touted the wave of investors building businesses and buying properties in Israel. “If you look beyond the headlines, you see one country in the middle east that is stable.”

After graduating from Beverly Hills High and UCLA film school, Fredric originally had designs on working in show business, but got his foot in the door in construction while working for Ross Bagdasarian Jr., whose father created Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Fredric said Bagdasarian Jr. purchased a home in Montecito and fell on Fredric to be his in-house construction manager.

“That’s really how I got into it, and I started doing a few spec homes and got hired to go off on my own,” Barry said.

As Gene was wrapping up his storied film and TV career in the late 80s, he parlayed his own affinity for construction into an opportunity to work with his son and decided to go into business with his Fredric, opening Barry and Barry Builders, which later became Barrybuilt Corporation (www.barrybuiltcorporation.co m) Gene, who was married to

Gross extolled the benefits of Israel Bonds, a family tradition started by his grandparents where he always received the gift of a bond at Hanukkah: “Each year they mature, it’s like getting the gift again.”

For his dynamic wife, Raphael, her involvement with Israel and Judaism came later in life.

“When I firmly entered middle age, I knew I had to stand for more,” she said, underscoring that she has an everincreasing yearning to become “as Jewish as possible.”

In addition to helping launch Israel Bonds’ Business & Professions Division with her husband, Raphael serves as a co-chair of the Women’s Campaign of Jewish National Fund L.A., where she is also a boardmember, as well as serving on the boards at Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy and at YULA Girls School.

“He wanted to help me and do something like that with me,” said Fredric, who is a California state licensed general building contractor of more than 20 years. “He loved construction.”

Gene Barry passed away in 2009, but Fredric has continued taking the business to new heights, building custom residential homes and condominiums and remodeling businesses and restaurants not just in Beverly Hills, but from Pasadena to Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach to Chatsworth.

Despite how widespread his business reaches across L.A. County, Barry said he still gets a special satisfaction from doing work in his native Beverly Hills.

MADISON LAWSUIT (Continued from page 1)

The suit continues: “EBI and (EBI CEO John) McLaughlin falsely told Madison, in words or substance, that they had not received any payments from BHUSD and that payment would be made to Madison once BHUSD’s internal approval process was completed and that payment had been delayed due to various ‘glitches,’ among other things.”

Based on this misinformation, in June 2014, Madison directly invoiced BHUSD in the amount of $351,387.50 for campus security services for the fall semester.

As a result of this, BHUSD General Counsel Vince Ewing advised his client to indemnify itself against EBI - a worthless move, according to Goldstein.

“It didn't make a whole lot of sense,” he said. “It kind of doesn’t make sense to enter into an indemnity clause against a company that may not actually be solvent.”

Madison didn’t care that BHUSD had already paid its bill.

“Madison’s Master Agreement with EBI required BHUSD to pay Madison directly,” the lawsuit contends.

Goldberg called the lawsuit completely frivolous. In fact, the BHUSD paid EBI directly all monies invoiced before any services were even rendered. Further, the district is still due $135,748 from EBI for services it never received.

“The district seems to be a target for people because they believe we have deep pockets,” he said. “This lawsuit is a direct result because of (outgoing Po-

lice Chief) Dave Snowden's involvement in EBI.” Snowden was a paid consultant for EBI; however all boardmembers have said they were at no time aware that the Beverly Hills police chief was also working for the BHUSD vendor until after EBI stopped providing services to the school district in November 2014.

Goldberg said the lawsuit is now with the district’s insurance carrier–which has a $25,000 deductible.

“Now this lawsuit is going to take resources out of the classroom, even though it's a frivolous lawsuit, because we have to spent money defending ourselves. We have no choice," he said. “We can settle, which still costs us money. Or we can fight to send the message that we're not going to roll down.”

Venoco Appeals to Chamber To Support Oil Lease Renewal

By Victoria Talbot Venoco Oil & Gas Senior Land Negotiator Pat Moran appealed to the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce members Thursday to support extending oil & gas leases Beverly Hills High School campus.

Moran explained the current well produces about 300 barrels per day, and Venoco expects that it will produce for another 15 years. With no new drilling, Venoco seeks to extend the lease for ten years. If renewed, Venoco would remove the tower.

“Over 700 royalty owners receive checks on a monthly basis and they like it,” said Moran. The school district also receives about a half million dollars annually, depending on the price of oil.

Former school board member and City mayor Barry Brucker presented an opposing position, stating that the school

board has definitively rejected the possibility of renewing the oil and gas leases, with plans for the post-remediated land that would finally bring the playing field up to regulation size. Brucker also said that during his tenure the City had adopted a General Plan that prohibits oil & gas drilling within City limits, grandfathering in the current extraction because of the lease terms that expire Dec. 31, 2016. “The City felt that it was incompatible within City limits,” he said.

The lawsuit brought by Erin Brokovich in 2003 “scared the population,” he said. But the City and BHUSD prevailed.

“The fact is that for 35 to 40 years it’s been compatible,” said Moran. Renew the leases and Venoco will continue to pay royalties.

A provision in the agreement allows BHUSD to extend the lease.

The Beverly Hills Planning Commission will consider the Draft Historic Preservation Ordinance at a special meeting at City Hall Thursday, May 28, at 7 p.m. in Room 280-A.

look at a longer-term vision for the future, as in the current discussion on the Water Enterprise Plan. Because City Council members rotate as mayor it is difficult to create “a longer term vision of more than one or two years.” Gold hopes to overcome that and produce a longterm plan for the City.

“Cost needs to come together in a coherent fashion,” he said, so he has created three subgroups to examine 5-10year plans in critical areas.

One subgroup will examine infrastructure improvements and upgrades. On the list are the Water Enterprise Plan, building a reliable water supply with increased independence from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) and the Santa Monica Boulevard Reconstruction plans.

Another subgroup will examine the Information Technology (IT) needs of the City into the future to decide if the City should become its own Internet provider and whether to run fiber optic cable to every home and business.

A third group will put together a financial plan to provide the estimated $200 million over 10 years and to make sure the City stays financially sound.

There were many questions about water conservation.

“Water is a business,” said Gold. “We have to more than

Patrol officers located a vehicle that met the description on South Beverly Drive and two suspects were detained, said Miner.

However, one suspect fled on foot in the 1000-block of Beverly Drive. “A large-scale perimeter search is underway with LAPD air and ground support,” Lt. Miner said.

Residents were advised to

break even to build infrastructure.” Gold pointed out that in Los Angeles, that city was not forward-thinking enough to build infrastructure improvements into their water pricing.

Now it is faced with a multimillion dollar crisis as pipes continue to fail throughout the area.

Gold cautioned that water cuts would help the City to achieve the goal of a 36-percent cut to meet state mandates, but that the infrastructure is a fixed cost, about 70-percent of the total cost of water to the consumer.

Another portion of Mayor Gold’s vision is directed at the future subway station one block from La Cienega Park.

Asked one constituent, “Is there going to be parking?”

“No,” replied Gold, which segued into a discussion about what the City and stakeholders want the subway station to look like when it is finished. Gold pointed out that in Santa Monica that city had bought land at the station to build a mixed-use project, including parking and shops for commuters, as well as habitation.

“What should this part of town be? Should we let commerce and business do it their way on a one-off?” Gold hopes that his monthly mayoral meetings will inspire visionaries to come forward with their ideas.

Meet the Mayor is next scheduled for June 28 from 1011 a.m. at Mickey Fine Pharmacy on Roxbury Drive. avoid the area if possible.

Heavy traffic and delays were expected for “at least a few hours.” Traffic control and police officers were on site.

At approximately 6:08 p.m., a Beverly Hills police K9 located the third suspect on the property of a home in the 1000 block of North Beverly Drive.

The suspect was taken into custody and all three suspects were then turned over to the LAPD. Streets were reopened between 6:30-7 p.m.

Beverly Hills Resident Celebrates 10th Richard Horowitz Honored Anniversary Of Her Music Conservatory By AISH International

By John L. Seitz A decade ago, Beverly Hills resident and former orchestral violinist Shiho Yamamoto developed ColorSoundation, a revolutionary methodology to teach very young children the fundamentals of music. Today, this highly successful teaching approach which has attracted more than 1,000 students worldwide, along with the school she founded, the Conservatory of Performing Arts (www.tcopa.com) in West L.A., are celebrating their respective 10th anniversaries.

Yamamoto’s ColorSoundation process blends a combination of singing, playing and ear training, along with the illustrated activities of seven colorful, original animated characters and the integration of color-coded stickers and instructional booklets.

“Children reach a greater underShiho Yamamoto standing of music by focusing first on the development of the ‘ear’ and singing voice, and then by concentrating on rhythm and musical notation,” says Yamamoto.

“Our ColorSoundation process offers lessons which are broken into small steps and interactive games.”

The Conservatory of Performing Arts is located at 2372 Veteran Ave. Phone: 310-470-6006.

FOSTER CARE COUNTS–Beverly Hills resident Jeanne Pritzker (right), founder of Foster Care Counts (www.fostercarecounts .org), joins with UCLA student Sibley Bardales to attend the seveth annual Foster Mother’s Day at Willows Community School in Culver City. Nearly 2,500 foster moms and kids attended the all-day event that honored foster families with a day of pampering by Paul Mitchell stylists and make-up artists from Jouer Cosmetics, carnival games, storytelling and facepainting and a buffet lunch by Wolfgang Puck Catering. Foster Care Counts' mission is to improve the lives of youth in foster care and target ways to boost outcomes, ignite initiatives to empower foster youth, and incite change on their behalf.

Resident Richard M. Horowitz was among 11 honorees from across the country to receive the Jewish American Heritage award from AISH International.

Aish has built movements on campus, created sustainable Jewish communities, and brought Jewish educational programming to Jewish communities throughout the U.S.and around the world.

This week, members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives gather in the U.S. Capitol to honor the Jewish American experience at the 2015 Jewish Richard Horowitz Heritage Celebration. Held in the Kennedy Caucus Room, the celebration highlighted the accomplishments of Aish International and the award winners.

President Obama and Congress have proclaimed May 2015 as Jewish American Heritage Month.

According to the Senate Resolution introduced by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), Aish has “enriched the society of the United States” and is “the largest Jewish outreach organization of its kind in the world, which demonstrates that our people may freely connect with their cultures and religious heritages and contribute to the fabric of life in the United States.”

“Our partners are dedicated to the mission of providing inspiring and accessible Jewish education. Their unwavering support is the reason why we have made such a powerful impact across this great nation”said Richard Boruch Rabinowitz, Aish International’s executive director.

Talks Books Dr. Peter C. Whybrow, director of UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior has penned The Well-Tuned Brain: Neuroscience & The Life Well Lived (Norton $27.95).

This brilliant book forces one to stop and think when an author writes “driven by the instinctual search for immediate rewards, we find ourselves caught up not in the enjoyment of happiness but in a relentless pursuit of its material surrogates.”

How does the brain make choices? Reward, punishment and the evaluation of risk, which he relates to the 2008 financial meltdown. He connects to the obesity epidemic and environmental degradation that have a common behavioral root fed by the enticements of affluence which lowers the brain’s capacity for self-regulation. (I did mention to him the section of The Wall Street Journal on mansions and their astronomic prices.)

The book examines the history of psychology and its treatment which has varied through the years. In between Dr. Whybrow discusses his life, desire to be a doctor like a man his father admired, and his education at Oxford. He explains why he doesn’t like calves liver and bacon.

In explaining the importance of “knowing one’s self,” he explains the title of his book, which is based on J.S.Bach’s composition The Well-Tempered Clavier. This means it is balanced which is what Whybrow is advocating for a life without stress, sleep that refreshes, and honorable love.

How do we think and why have we given so much information about ourselves to Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon to make them rich and to delete our privacy? Like many of us, he notes that he is more welcome online than in his daily stores.

It is a most interesting work that goes from high quality learning and thinking to homey thoughts of common living with his daughter and son-in-law who live on a farm with his beloved granddaughter. The latter works in the barn with the animals but makes the name cards for guests at dinner–that is for everyone but herself as she seems to know whom she is.

BHHS Boys Tennis Team Loses In CIF Quarterfinals

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills High boys tennis team’s dream season came to an end on Monday in an 11-7 loss to visiting Beckman.

After an undefeated regular season run, BHHS entered the playoffs as the #2 seed and beat St. Francis (162) and Newport Harbor (117) to advance, but lost Monday to Beckman from the Pacific Coast League.

Track and Field For the second straight year, BHHS junior Amanda Block qualified for the CIF Southern Section Division 3 finals.

Block was one of nine girls at the CIF-SS Div. 3 prelims at Estancia High to clear 10-6 in the pole vault, advancing her to this weekend’s CIF-SS Div. 3 finals.

Raehaan Poonja took second in his 100m heat in 11.02 and third in his 200m heat at 22.32, good for 14th overall, but did not advance to the CIF finals.

Rashad Ysaguirre took 17th in the discus with a throw of 137-00.

MID-SEASON CELEBRATION–Beverly Hills Little League had its annual midseason celebration on Sunday at La Cienega Park.

UC Davis advanced to the championship game with a 61-10 victory over Arkansas on April 26.

SWING FOR THE FENCES–Leah Shapiro batted lead off and played left field for the Brandeis University Softball Team which on May 10 won its first Eastern College Athletic Conference Championship since 2008.

Shapiro, who led Brandeis in runs scored this season, had her biggest college hit in the semifinals of the winner's bracket of the tournament. With two outs and the scored tied in the fifth inning, she drove in the winning run with a bases-clearing double. She also had a double, an rbi and scored two runs in the championship game where she went 2-for-3, was hit by a pitch and hit a sacrifice fly. Shapiro set the career batting average at Beverly Hills High School where she played on the varsity softball team. At the end of last month Brandeis announced that Leah would be one of five sophomores who would receive the Giumette Academic Achievement Award. The award carries with it a $5,000 per semester scholarship.

Frances Allen Desert Roundup

It’s over! Not finished in the final sense of the word, but the Desert’s season of charitable giving, stellar entertainment, themed parties and formals is now on hiatus, a respite unofficially marked by the spectacular fireworks display that ushered in an end to a night of gaiety known as “Evening Under the Stars,” benefiting AIDS Assistance Program (AAP).

For the past 22 years, this has produced a sit-down event that currently features more than 1,200 guests, al fresco, on the exclusive fairways of the O’Donnell Golf Club in downtown Palm Springs. It is an evening of “anything goes” (clothing-wise) with many guests appearing in hair-down, amazingly colorful attire … and this is just the men.

What makes AAP noteworthy is how it addresses its mission of providing meals to lowincome men, women and children in the Desert suffering from HIV/AIDS or its effects.

Rather than package food in bulk and distribute what the organization has on its shelves, AAP provides its clients with food vouchers redeemable at local Stater Brothers Supermarkets, letting the clients determine what they need, helping to ensure they can continue to live their lives with dignity and self-respect.

AAP is headed by Mark Mark Anton Anton, CEO/executive director, one of the most compassionate men in the Coachella Valley, and a five-member volunteer board of directors which sees that 100percent of the funds needed for AAP’s operational expenses are generated through a growing donor base, local business support, special events and grant funding. Only two full-time employees and a host of volunteers manage the organization “Evening Under the Stars” is also known for the quality of its entertainment, such as Barry Manilow, Carol Channing and Mary Wilson– and they were just in the audience. Mark Walberg, host of the highly-rated PBS program Antiques Roadshow, was the emcee while Darlene Love, an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, headlined the live entertainment and urged guests to get up and out on the dance floor. They did not have to be asked twice.

Two colleagues were among the evening’s honorees. Betty Francis, the society news director for the Desert Sun, received the “Jennette Rockefeller Humanitarian Award” and Gloria Greer, TV and social life editor, the “Gloria Greene Inspiration Award.” Honorees, John Williams and Richard DeSantis were given the “Herb Lazenby Community Service Award.”

For information about AAP, contact 760-325-8481. ****** It must have been blowing in the wind, but the idea was a great one: the Palm Springs Art Museum’s 5th annual “Meet the Museum,” event which encourages new membership to the museum, was presented this year with an “Alice in Wonderland” theme.

Guests to the party were invited to dress in costume or Desert chic … something that is often identical in the colorful desert.

Those joining the museum receive such perks as one year of free admission to all Palm Springs Art Museum locations, members-only invitations to exhibition openings; use of the museum library; special events plus museum store and café discounts. The museum is the largest cultural institution in the Coachella Valley with three locations, plus the 433-seat Annenberg Theater. Information is available at 760-322-4800.

BEWARE: Traffic In West L.A. About To Get Even Worse

By Matt Lopez In an apparent effort to make traffic even more unbearable than it currently is in West L.A., the city of Los Angeles is fasttracking plans for street closures in the area of Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue in Westwood.

The closures are because of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) installing approximately 385 feet of trunk line, 36-inch diamater water pipline along Hilgard Avenue. The trunk line is set to connect to existing infrastructure at the intersections of Sunset Boulevard/Hilgard and on Hilgard, south of Charing Cross Road.

With the Special Olympics in town this summer, the street closures could lead to an absolute logjam of traffic for local residents in the area.

Work is set to begin in mid-June and inexplicably run

through next January. LADOT traffic control plans will be installed at each dedicated work area, but that likely won’t do much to free up the inevitable traffic crunch.

Construction plans were discussed on May 13 at a meeting of the LAPD West Bureau Traffic Committee, but many questions from residents have continued to go unanswered by the LADP. Among them are how street closures will be coordinated with the many construction projects in Bel-Air, why construction can’t be done at night, why there has been no talk of allowing a “flex lane” and how residents from Bel-Air will exit the area if Hilgard is closed.

With work on connecting existing infrastructure set to begin at the intersection of Sunset and Hilgard in midJune, residents are looking to get answers to those questions sooner rather than later.

WALTER’S CAFE

quickly realized the tradition behind Walter’s and how loved it was,” Djie said. “Plus, back then people didn’t know much about Indonesian food. It wasn’t like it was now where people are so interested in exotic foods.”

Djie took over the restaurant from his father around 1984 and said his first order of business was to quickly bolster the menu. Walter’s Cafe was one of the local pioneers of bicycle food delivery in the City.

Djie said he started by attaching milk crates to bicycles, before upgrading to baskets.

If you’ve ever found yourself in your car during lunchtime in Beverly Hills, you’ve no doubt seen a Walter’s Cafe delivery rider zooming in and out of traffic on his bicycle in his trademark green shirt, emblazoned with Walter’s Cafe’s trademark “Got Food?” slogan.

“I actually picked that up from the ‘Got Milk?’ promotion in the 90s,” Djie said. “I figured why not just put ‘Got Food?’ on our stuff?”

Djie’s friendly, unassuming demeanor has led to extreme loyalty from his staff, some of whom, such as server Lisa Ellspermann and bus boy Antonio Hernandez, have been with him for 26 years.

It’s the longtime customers of Walter’s Cafe, however, that Djie said show him how special the job is.

“It’s funny, we’ve got customers who have been coming for 30, 40 years and no matter what specials we have, they always want the tuna sandwich,” Djie said. “The unfortunate part is I’ve seen many of our customers pass away. I remember being at a funeral and the grandson delivering the eulogy said ‘Grandma will miss going to Walter’s,’ It was nice but so sad at the same time.”

“We’re like a family here,” Djie added. “You only get back what you put in, and I learned that here very early on.”

over lunch on Tuesday at Walter’s Cafe at 153 S. Beverly Dr. “Mrs. Mendelson (wife of Nate‘n Al co-founder Al Mendelson) would walk over to Walter’s on Canon quite often.”

The deal, however, fell through once Djie had already signed his away his Canon Drive lease to La Scala, and without a home on Canon or North Beverly Drive.

“I was a young businessman,” said Djie. “In hindsight, if I knew then what I know now, I would have stayed on Canon.”

Through the multiple location changes, including its current home on the busy tourist and business-laden thoroughfare of South Beverly Drive, Walter’s Cafe has endured as one of Beverly Hills’ premiere eateries for its 65 years in existence.

Despite the popularity of its tuna sandwich or Chicken Napoli Panini, Walter’s Cafe wasn’t always known necessarily as a place to sit down and grab a meal.

In fact, when Swiss banker Walter Weber opened the cafe on Rodeo Drive in 1949, Djie said it was about “80 percent bakery and 20 percent restaurant.”

“It was always a diner, but it was very limited to just a few items,” Djie said.

Walter’s Cafe was wellknown for its bread and Djie said Weber had upwards of 20 different eateries in the Los Angeles area buying his bread.

Weber eventually sold the restaurant to Djie’s family in 1981. Djie was raised in Holland, where his parents owned and operated five Indonesian restaurants. Djie said that when his father Richard took over Walter’s, the original plan was actually to convert it to an upscale Indonesian restaurant.

“When we got here, he

RICHARD ANDERSON (Continued from page 1)

“Somehow, you can’t stop looking at him,” he recalled.

One day, almost two decades later, Richard was having lunch with Cooper and he took the opportunity to ask his childhood idol about acting.

Cooper responded: “Well, I don’t know too much about it, but I don’t want to get caught doing it.”

In 1932, in an effort to escape the Depression, his father bought a four-door Buick and drove the family out west.

Richard, with his older brother in the backseat watched the scenery change as the family made their way to sunny Westwood Village.

At Emerson Jr. High School, Richard made his first attempt to become a leader by running for class president, doing impressions of Walter Winchell and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He lost by 11 votes, but made a vow to himself that when he got to high school, he would make sure he won.

At University High School, Richard ran for the position of Safety Commissioner, taking on the persona of Gen. Douglas MacArthur in his election speech, which was a great success and as he won the race.

Among the functions the position demanded, was that Richard monitor the ingress and egress of students from the school and ensure that they had the proper passes.

“One day, the door opens and there’s this lady and I say ‘hello’ and she asks me how I am, and I say, ‘Good, right now,’” he recounted of his first interaction with Marilyn Monroe (a fellow classmate who came quite infrequently, because she was married.) “She walked like no one I’d known.”

Just before graduation, about a year before Richard was slated to go into the army, he decided that it was time to have a go at making his acting dreams come true. He approached his high school principal and prevailed upon him to write a letter of introduction to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Richard successfully landed a job in publicity, where it was his duty, along with three other guys, to sift through the newspapers from around the globe and document when MGM’s people were mentioned.

Following his introduction to the world of film (Richard had interspersed first-hand explorations around the lot with

We File & Publish DBA’s ••••• Please Call 310.278.1322

his official publicity duties), the young man was sent to Camp Roberts, just north of Paso Robles, for 17 months. Richard would have been shipped off to France, he said, but a medical issue prevented that. While stationed there, he wrote articles for the camp newspaper about what was happening. Once out, the desire to pursue acting was stronger than ever.

“All I wanted was learning how to be in the film business,” he said.

Using the GI Bill of Rights, he went to a film school in Hollywood for a year where he learned “a new way of acting” at the Actor’s Laboratory, headed by Lee Strasberg.

“A lot of the big stars came over to see what this was all about,” Richard said about being instructed in “The Method” developed by Konstantin Stanislavsky. “The old way was just learn the lines.”

Once Richard learned it, he said: “I was acting like Gary Cooper.”

After that, he booked a play in Santa Barbara, and then a second one. He then got a job in Laguna doing a play called Anna Lucasta about a young boy in love with a prostitute. Variety described him as “Gregory Peck-like” and Hollywood called him back.

Richard’s first onscreen break came with Lights, Camera, Action!, an NBC television show from the 1950s, not unlike Dancing With The Stars, where aspiring actors appeared before a panel of judges. His first skit, where he was waiting outside a hotel to meet a lady, earned him a cavalcade of laughter. And he ended up winning the show...three times!

One day, he got a message that Cary Grant had called him and he was to telephone him back. Using an old MGM connection, a secretary he knew from his publicity days, he was able to reach Grant on set at the studio.

“I said, ‘This is Richard,’” he recalled, to which Grant replied: “‘My God! Hello! My lord, you were good in this!

Come, we’ve got to have lunch.’”

Grant subsequently helped Richard secure a screen test, which led to him going under

May 22, 2015 | Page 21 contract with MGM in 1949.

Richard recalled doing The People Against O’Hara with Spencer Tracy as a particularly humorous moment in his long and storied career, which he details in his book.

“I remember, he was sitting there, hot, dusty, and he was mumbling, learning lines....and I said, ‘Action!’ and he said: ‘Learn your lines and don’t bump into the furniture,’” he said.

In acting, Richard explained, you have to find the place where your feet are solidly on the ground otherwise the cameraman goes crazy.

After 6 years and 24 films with MGM, like many actors at the time, he made the jump to television, where he starred in a half-dozen T.V. series, including The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, and Dynasty.

About 50 years ago, Richard moved into his favorite spot in the world–Beverly Hills.

Indeed, it was in this fair City (its phenomenal climate still makes him happy), that he and his wife of 12 years, Katharine Thalberg, raised their three daughters.

“She was a very, very lovely lady with a great sense of humor,” he recalled of the woman who captured his heart long ago. In fact, on one of their earliest dates, at a Bel-Air mansion beside the dance floor (atop the swimming pool), he daringly confessed the strength of his affection for her: “I said: ‘I love you, and you certainly have beautiful eyes.’ She said: ‘You really shouldn’t say that, I might believe you.’”

These days, in addition to preparing to embark on a publicity tour on behalf of his recent book, which is available on Amazon.com, Richard often participates in conventions with six coming up this year.

Today, one of his favorite spots in the City remains The Beverly Hills Hotel–a place he’s spent much of his time at over the years.

“The rest of the world, there’s no place like Beverly Hills,” he said. “Beverly Hills is considered to be an extraordinary town with great opportunity. And it is.”

PUBLIC NOTICES ORDINANCE NO. 15-O-2678 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA AMENDING ARTICLE 5 (STORMWATER AND URBAN RUNOFF POLLUTION CONTROL) OF CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE 9 OF THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO INCLUDE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS AND ADDITIONAL REVISIONS PURSUANT TO THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: WHEREAS, the City of Beverly Hills is a permittee under the “Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, Except those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4,” issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board--Los Angeles Region,” (Order No. R4-20120175) which also serves as an NPDES Permit under the Federal Clean Water Act (NPDES No. CAS004001), as well as Waste Discharge Requirements under California law (the “Municipal NPDES Permit”).

WHEREAS, the Municipal NPDES Permit requires permittees to develop and implement a Low Impact Development (“LID”) Ordinance.

WHEREAS, LID ordinances are widely recognized as a sensible approach to managing the quantity and quality of stormwater and non-stormwater runoff by setting standards and practices to maintain or restore the natural hydrologic character of a development site, reduce off-site runoff, improve water quality, and provide groundwater recharge.

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City of Beverly Hills to replace the existing Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (also known as SUSMP) requirements by providing stormwater and rainwater LID strategies for Development and Redevelopment projects as defined in this Ordinance.

Section 1. The City Council hereby finds, in the exercise of its independent judgment and analysis, that this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because the Low Impact Development requirements for new development and redevelopment projects of this Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment, and the adoption of this Ordinance and the timing thereof is mandated by the action of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (“LARWQCB”). In this case, the City is acting at the direction of the LARWQCB and federal law to protect, maintain, restore and enhance natural resources and the environment. To comply with the requirements of the LARWQCB, the City Council finds that the adoption of this Ordinance is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15307 and 15308.

Furthermore, this Ordinance will have no possible significant effect on the environment, given that the provisions of this Ordinance provide similar regulations as currently exist and will not in and of themselves cause any change in the environment. Staff is hereby directed to prepare and post a notice of exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.

Section 2. The custodian of records for all materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which this decision is based is the City Clerk. Those documents are available for public review in the City Clerk’s office located at Beverly Hills City Hall at 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Section 3. Article 5 (Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control) of Chapter 4 (Water Regulations) of Title 9 (Building and Property Health and Safety Regulations) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: “Article 5. STORMWATER AND URBAN RUNOFF POLLUTION CONTROL 9-4-501: Findings 9-4-502: Purpose 9-4-503: Definitions 9-4-504: Prohibited Activities 9-4-505: Exempted discharges, conditionally exempted discharges, or designated discharges 9-4-506: Requirements for existing properties

9-4-511: Enforcement and Penalties 9-4-501: FINDINGS: The City Council finds and declares that: A. The Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) provides for the regulation and reduction of pollutants discharged into the waters of the United States by extending National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (hereinafter “NPDES”) requirements to storm water and urban runoff discharged into municipal storm drain systems.

B. Storm water and urban runoff flow from individual properties onto streets, then through storm drains passing through the City.

C. The City is a co-permittee under the "Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, Except Those Discharges Originating from the City of Long Beach MS4" (Order No. R4-2012-0175), NPDES Permit No. CAS004001, effective December 28, 2012, issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board—Los Angeles Region, and any successor permit to that permit (the “Municipal NPDES Permit”) and, as a co-permittee under the Municipal NPDES Permit, the City is required to implement and enforce the requirements contained in the Municipal NPDES Permit, to control discharges to and from those portions of the MS4 over which it has jurisdiction, and to hold dischargers to the MS4 accountable for their contributions of pollutants and flows.

D. Part III, Section A of the Municipal NPDES Permit requires the City to prohibit, in the portion of the MS4 for which it is an owner or operator, non-storm water discharges into the MS4, except where such discharges are identified and in compliance with Part III, Section A of the Municipal NPDES Permit.

E. In order to control, in a cost effective manner, the quantity and quality of storm water and urban runoff to the maximum extent practicable, the adoption of reasonable regulations, as set forth herein, is essential.

9-4-502: PURPOSE: A. The purpose of this article is to promote the future health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the City and the water quality of the receiving waters of the county and surrounding coastal areas by: 1.

Reducing pollutants in storm water discharges to the maximum extent practicable; 2.

Regulating illicit connections and illicit discharges and thereby reducing the level of contamination of storm water and dry weather runoff into the MS4; and 3.

Regulating non-storm water discharges to the MS4.

B. The intent of this article is to protect and enhance the quality of watercourses, water bodies, and wetlands within the City in a manner consistent with the federal Clean Water Act, the California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act and the Municipal NPDES Permit.

C. This article is also intended to provide the City with the legal authority necessary to control discharges to and from those portions of the MS4 over which it has jurisdiction as required by the Municipal NPDES Permit, and thereby fully and timely comply with the terms of the Municipal NPDES Permit.

D. This article also sets forth requirements for the construction and operation of certain “commercial development”, “new development” and “redevelopment” and other projects (as further defined herein), which requirements are intended to ensure compliance with the storm water mitigation measures prescribed in the current version of the Municipal NPDES Permit, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

E. This article authorizes an authorized enforcement officer to define and adopt applicable best management practices (BMPs) and other storm water pollution control measures, to grant emergency self-waivers from Municipal NPDES Permit requirements, as provided herein in order to conduct repairs of essential public service systems and infrastructure in emergency situations, to cite violations and to impose fines pursuant to this article. This article also authorizes the authorized enforcement officer to carry out inspections, surveillance, and monitoring procedures necessary to determine compliance and noncompliance with the provisions of this article and the Municipal NPDES Permit. Except as otherwise provided herein, the authorized enforcement officer shall administer, implement and enforce the provisions of this article.

9-4-507: Requirements for industrial/commercial and construction activities.

9-4-503: DEFINITIONS:

9-4-508: Planning and Land Development Program Requirements for New Development and Redevelopment

Except as specifically provided herein, any term used in this article shall be defined as that term is defined in the current Municipal NPDES Permit, or if it is not specifically defined in the Municipal NPDES Permit, then as such term is defined in the Federal Clean Water Act, as amended, and/or the regulations promulgated thereunder. The following words

9-4-509: Fees 9-4-510: Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Education Program

and phrases shall have the following meanings when used in this article: AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUNOFF. Any surface directly exposed to precipitation or in the path of runoff caused by precipitation which path leads off the parcel on which the surface is located.

AUTHORIZED ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. The Director of Public Works or his or her designee.

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE FACILITY. A facility that is categorized in any one of the following Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes: 5013, 5014, 5511, 5541, 75327534, or 7536-7539 (as amended).

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs).

BIOFILTRATION means a LID BMP that reduces stormwater pollutant discharges by intercepting rainfall on vegetative canopy, and through incidental infiltration and/or evapotranspiration, and filtration. Incidental infiltration is an important factor in achieving the required pollutant load reduction. Therefore, the term “biofiltration” as used in this Ordinance is defined to include only systems designed to facilitate incidental infiltration or achieve the equivalent pollutant reduction as biofiltration BMPs with an underdrain (subject to approval by the Regional Board’s Executive Officer). Biofiltration BMPs include bioretention systems with an underdrain and bioswales.

BIORETENTION. A LID BMP that reduces stormwater runoff by intercepting rainfall on vegetative canopy or groundcover, and through evapotranspiration and infiltration. The bioretention system typically includes a minimum 2-foot top layer of a specified soil and compost mixture underlain by a gravel-filled temporary storage pit dug into the in-situ soil. As defined in this Ordinance, a bioretention BMP may be designed with an overflow drain, but may not include an underdrain. When a bioretention BMP is designed or constructed with an underdrain it is regulated by the Municipal NPDES Permit as biofiltration.

BIOSWALE means a LID BMP consisting of a shallow channel lined with grass or other dense, low-growing vegetation. Bioswales are designed to collect stormwater runoff and to achieve a uniform sheet flow through the dense vegetation for a period of several minutes.

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. Any development on private land that is not heavy industrial or residential.

9-4-508: PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT – LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT: A. Objective. The provisions of this Section establish requirements for construction activities and facility operations of Development and Redevelopment projects to comply with the current Municipal NPDES Permit (Order No. R4-2012-0175), to lessen the water quality impacts of development by using smart growth practices, and integrate LID practices and standards for storm water pollution mitigation through means of infiltration, evapotranspiration, biofiltration, and rainfall harvest and use.

B. Scope. This Section contains requirements for storm water pollution control measures in Development and Redevelopment projects and authorizes the City to further define and adopt storm water pollution control measures, and to develop LID principles and requirements, including but not limited to the objectives and specifications for integration of LID strategies, alternative compliance measures from the LID requirements for projects that demonstrate technical infeasibility to retain the Storm Water Quality Design Volume (SWQDv) on-site or where an opportunity exists for regional groundwater replenishment as defined in the Municipal NPDES Permit, and collect funds for projects that are granted alternative compliance measures. Except as otherwise provided herein, the City shall administer, implement and enforce the provisions of this Section.

C. Applicability. This Section applies to the following New Development and Redevelopment Projects which are subject to City conditioning and approval: 1.

storm water quality control requirements, the entire Project must be mitigated. d.

Where Redevelopment results in an alteration to less than fifty percent (50%) of the impervious surface of a previously existing development, and the existing development was not subject to post-development storm water quality control requirements, only the alteration must be mitigated, and not the entire development. e.

Existing single-family dwelling and accessory structures are exempt from the Redevelopment requirements unless such projects create, add, or replace 10,000 square feet of impervious surface.

D. LID Standards Manual. The Director shall prepare, maintain, and update, as deemed necessary and appropriate, a manual (“LID Standards Manual”), which shall include urban and stormwater runoff quantity and quality control development principles and technologies for achieving compliance with the provisions of this section.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9986-2483.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the suc-

cessful bidder shall have no further recourse. NBS Default Services, LLC 301 E.

From The Publisher

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR There is a severe drought. I think the public finally realizes that. Reducing water use immediately is mandated by Gov. Jerry Brown, but it's also obvious–looking at snow pack and water levels in reservoirs--that the water just isn't there. But stopping lawns at schools and cutting back on watering in parks may the wrong way to save water. Homeowners and businesses should remove our lawns- especially front lawns- and replace them with appropriate California native and other water-wise plants.

That's how we should cut water use. The water just isn't there to keep our expansive lawns, appropriate for England or New England or the mid-Atlantic states, green. It never really was. I agree with lawn proponents that there is no real substitute for a green lawn when it comes to recreational activities such as sports events, child's play, or a spreading out a blanket for a picnic. Our City's parks are especially important to our children for soccer and baseball, and to those who live in apartments or condos for outdoor recreation. Lawns there should be maintained for this purpose. Let's cut our landscape water use at home so we have the water to keep the parks green.

Daniel Fink, Beverly Hills ****** Recently, we had the honor of hosting Rep. Ted Lieu at The Center for Radiation Therapy of Beverly Hills. While at our center, we discussed the importance of radiation therapy as a crucial part of the cancer treatment spectrum. The congressman was able to see, firsthand, the advances in cancer treatment, including state of the art technology such as the two digitally controllable linear accelerators with on-board imaging. We provided a tour of the treatment vault that houses the linear accelerator and shields against radiation, and detailed the intricate process of constructing the vault. Additionally, we outlined our maintenance and patient-specific quality assurance protocols. The treatment vault, much like the linear accelerator itself, is truly unique to the type of cancer treatment that radiation centers provide.

Our physicians, nurses, physicists, therapists, dosimetrists, nurses and support staff are able to provide high quality cancer care that keeps Beverly Hills – and surrounding area – patients within the supportive environment of their local communities, which is the one of the key messages that we believe the congressman walked away with following his visit.

Providing quality cancer care for patients in our community is our mission at The Center for Radiation Therapy of Beverly Hills. Freestanding radiation therapy centers like ours offer patients access to advanced treatments for prostate, breast, lung and many other cancers in a convenient and comfortable outpatient setting, thereby removing the burden of travel to hospitals for daily care.

Centers like ours depend upon stable funding to ensure delivery of quality care for cancer patients in local communities. That is why we urge Congressman Lieu and his colleagues to support policies that offer stable and predictable Medicare payment structure, so that freestanding centers can continue to offer high-quality radiation oncology care.

We sincerely thank Rep. Lieu for visiting The Center for Radiation Therapy of Beverly Hills and allowing us to advocate for the many patients whom we have the great privilege of caring for each day.

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 22). Heaven’s will is carried out through your unassuming ways. You will be praised, paid and rewarded in June, but it won’t matter to you nearly as much as the good that comes from your loving actions in July. Your various talents and interests beg to be explored in the fall—follow your bliss with abandon.

Sagittarius and Capricorn people adore you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Does it seem impossible to some people?

You’ll make it seem easy because of your strength. Your recent dealings in reality have given you power, too. You’ll ratchet up your mood one notch at a time.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Wildly successful people say “I started from nothing.” The “nothing” is relative, though. Everyone has something. Gather, account for and be grateful for your many resources.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your imagination is on fire, perhaps due to a certain inspiring person. Your resources will increase as you ask for help. You might even create a scenario that will do the impossible: make everyone happy at once.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Relax and maintain your sense of humor through the mishaps of the day. Later these so-called “mistakes” will make you richer. A feeling of worthiness will improve your life on many levels.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Helen Keller said: “Security is mostly a superstition. ... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Don’t avoid danger, because it might be just the trouble that defines you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s important that you don’t yearn for what you want. Yearning affirms what you don’t have instead of what you do. Act as though it’s already yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know what makes you different and better, and you project that now. Enjoy the prestige that comes with being a part of certain groups, especially those including a Libra.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve been generous, and now you need to rest and recover. Indulge in your favorite entertainment and food. The cost will be minimal compared to what you might have paid a mental-health professional.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Go on and smile for no good reason.

Mid-grin, you’ll discover many good reasons for the attractive look on your face. Your excellent mood and friendly demeanor will help you win on every level.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You like people, and you’re sweet about letting them know. Resist the slippery slope of infatuation. Avoid putting so much intense and emotional focus on one person today that other things fall out of balance.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Your stars will pose a challenge to the agenda. When you see the obstacle, as you will almost as soon as you get to work, don't back down. All you need to do is be yourself.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). When Leonardo da Vinci put the final touches on the Mona Lisa, it’s possible he was thinking: This could be better. At some point, you have to stop working the masterpiece and let it be what it wants to be.
