ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M E N T Donation In Memory of Henri Lazarof Allows AYS To Name Music Director Chair The American Youth Symphony (AYS) has received a major gift in memory of composer Henri Lazarof. The donation—the largest contribution in

the organization’s 50-year history—will name the “Henri Lazarof Music Director Chair of the American Youth Symphony” for the next 10 years.

Current Music Director Alexander Treger, AYS veteran of 17 years and retired LA Phil concertmaster, will now assume the “Music Director, Henri Lazarof Chair.” This leadership gift kicks off the 50th anniversary season for AYS, set to launch next year. AYS patrons and audiences will be hearing an orchestral work by Lazarof each season through 2023-24. Lazarof published 126 compositions including seven symphonies, three concertos for orchestra, three violin concertos, three cello concertos, two flute concertos, a viola concerto, a piano concerto and 11 string quartets. In 1991, Lazarof was nominated for two Grammys: “Best Contemporary Composition” and “Best Classical

Henri Lazarof

Performance for Instrumental Soloists(s) with Orchestra.” Lazarof died in December 2013 at 81. Led by Treger, the AYS trains

competitively selected musicians ages 15-27. AYS Fellows receive a full scholarship, perform at Royce Hall and work alongside such guest artists as Daníel Bjarnason, Anna Clyne, Sarah Chang, Johannes Moser, John Williams, David Newman, Alan Silvestri, Charles Fox and Lera Auerbach. Their training includes a wide repertoire and varied styles of music, from classical masterworks to world premieres and film scores. AYS performs 5-7 free concerts each season. “Mr. Lazarof was a longstanding advocate of the exceptional training and performances of AYS,” said Kevin Dretzka, AYS board chair. “Henri Lazarof’s artistic legacy is the perfect complement to the innovative spirit of the American Youth Symphony.”

Mizell Senior Center Celebrates ‘Stars Among Us’ There has been an abundance of stars in the Desert recently … both celestial and terrestrial.

Frances Allen’s Desert Roundup present its 9th annual fundraising gala entitled “Stars Among Us,” an homage to the sights and sounds of American Graffiti. Guests were asked to reach into the rear of their closets and wear the poodle skirts, penny loafers and letterman-jackets of 50 years ago, resulting in a prom-like atmosphere highlighted by a sit-down dinner featuring choices such as chicken TV dinners, fish and chips, and corned beef Reubens with fries. Desert was pure soda fountain fare: malts, root beer floats, banana splits and sundaes. No wonder two sets of cochairs were needed to guide the event. Judge Arthur Block (ret), Kathy Block, Dr. Ronald and Carol Fragen deserve kudos for creating an evening that unfolded flawlessly. As for entertainment, how could you get more ‘60s than

the evening’s emcee Cindy Williams, co-star of American Graffiti, and rock and role headliner, Sha Na Na, whose dynamic performance makes Rock & Roll into a celebration. However, “Stars Among Us” does not only refer to those who have had their names up in lights. The term was reserved as well reserved for the evening’s honorees who were: Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet in recognition for his efforts to revitalize Palm Springs, Harold Clumeck for his voluntary services to the Mizell Senior Center and The Community Foundation, an organization that promotes fundraising in the Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Benefiting most from the evening are the frail, homebound and often needy recipients of the number of meals the Mizell Senior Center will serve from Palm Springs to Salton Sea in its Meals on Wheels Program, that personally delivers almost 400 meals every weekday. To support this vital service, call 760-323-5689.

CHLA Wins Rally Foundation Grant For Childhood Cancer Research The Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, a national non-profit, has awarded a $40,000 Rally for Research Grant to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) to support Dr. Girish Dhall, and the Head Start clinical trials consortium, which focuses on treating children with malignant brain tumors without the use of radiation. “We are honored to receive this funding from the Rally Foundation, especially in today’s environment of cutbacks in NIH funding,” said Dhall, codirector of CHLA’s neuro-oncology Program and associate professor of pediatrics at USC’s

Keck School of Medicine “This study will provide the groundwork for use of ‘personalized medicine’ in treatment of children Dr. Girish Dhall with medulloblastoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors, with the goal of preserving neurocognitive function and improved survival in these children.” (see ‘CANCER RESEARCH,’ page 13)

New UCLA Center For World Health Focuses On Global Access To Health Care With careful investments in health policy, people in rich and poor countries around the world can enjoy long lives and equal access to quality health care by the next generation. That’s the message 175 attendees heard at the launch of UCLA’s new Center for World Health. Moderator Thomas J. Coates, director of the center, invited a panel of renowned global experts to define “what we need to do to take the science and really make a difference.” • Dean Jamison, co-lead author of the Lancet Report, Global Health 2035: A World Converging Within A Generation, described investing in the development and delivery of better health tools and services, including universal health coverage. “In 20 years or so, with the right investments and the right policy, the world can conquer infant and maternal mortality,” said Jamison. “We can conquer AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.” • Richard Horton, editor-inchief of The Lancet, emphasized that more needs to be done in the treatment of mental illness.

“We focus on diseases that c a u s e death, but we have to put mental health at the center of our g l o b a l h e a l t h agenda as well.” T h e c e n t e r Thomas J. Coates s p o n s o r s programs in such areas as subSaharan Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America. Its affiliates collaborate with local scientists and health-care providers “to develop and implement the most effective and beneficial solutions for people in these communities,” says Coates. For example, UCLA pathologists recently partnered with a publicly traded Chinese company to improve clinical diagnostics for Chinese patients. UCLA also invites medical students, faculty and health scientists from institutions worldwide to campus to update their skills.

“Our mission is to focus on the people who are going to make the difference.” This includes the UCLA doctors, residents and fourth-year medical students working under the center’s direction in China, Ghana, India, Peru, Thailand and elsewhere. • In Malawi, UCLA physicians teach community health care workers how to treat pregnant women with HIV so their babies are born disease-free. • In Mozambique, UCLA pediatric surgeons train other doctors in the specialty; and the center hopes to help build a surgical pediatric wing in a hospital there. “Equal access to medical care will happen when talented people around the globe unite their efforts to make the world a healthier place,” says Coates. “We send our students to various countries not only to help them learn better medicine, but to help them become kinder people. We believe everybody everywhere should be treated with respect and dignity. That’s part of our mission, too.” For more information, visit worldhealth.med.ucla.edu.

On An Adjusted 3-Year-Old Who’s Suddenly Terrified Of Preschool Q. Dear Dr. Fran: Should I take my 3-year-old, who has developed severe anxiety about preschool after being perfectly settled, out of preschool until next year? My daughter started school this year and it went amazingly well in the beginning. She ran off without thinking twice and didn’t even want to come home. Recently, she has developed severe anxiety and refuses to go. She cries without end; and even over holidays or weekends she will burst out crying and be devastated about the thought of going to school. Although her teacher says I should just drop her and leave, in the hysterical state she’s in, I am not convinced this is the answer? Taylor Y. A. Dear Taylor: It sounds to me like your little 3-year-old daughter suffered a trauma. This is not a case of typical separation difficulties. Both she (and you!) separated well back in September when school began. Your toddler sustained a positive healthy separation for many months until suddenly in the spring she developed severe anxiety about separating and specifically going to school. Your job now is to become a detective. It is important to identify the trauma and source of her distress. For example, did the teacher scream at her or at another child and terrify her? Did another child hit or hurt her

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions feelings? Was there a serious illness of an immediate family member that took her parents’ attention and focus away from her or evoked sadness or grief? Did she lose her longtime beloved nanny? Explore as best you can to identify the trigger of her regression. Only then, can it be treated. You may need the guidance and help of a skilled child psychologist to support your little toddler through processing powerful feelings. I would definitely not pull your 3-year-old out of preschool next year. The source of her upset and how the school and teachers respond to her may affect whether you decide to keep her at the same school or make a school change. But based on her age and her previous school readiness, she should be helped, perhaps with Mommy’s presence in the classroom and support, to be gently transitioned back into a comfortable space. Get professional referrals from your trusted pediatrician.

Dr. Fran Walfish is the author of The Self-Aware Parent at www.DrFranWalfish.com. Send questions to franwalfish@to support Dr. Dhall’s cuttingedge research,” said Dean Crowe, Rally founder/CEO. “It is important to fund promising scientists like Dr. Dhall and programs like Head Start as we work toward closing the childhood cancer research funding gap so no parent ever has to hear their child has cancer.” The grant is part of the $1.2 million Rally will award to 34 hospitals across the country this year.

Joyce Rey and Stacy Gottula

POWER PLAYERS–The 25-acre estate with guesthouse, vineyards, detached disco/bar, tennis court and detached security center on Lania Lane.

Joyce Rey And Stacy Gottula - Savvy Negotiators With Big Clients By Victoria Talbot Legendary Beverly Hills realtors Joyce Rey and Stacy Gottula brought The Courier up to Lania Lane for a breathtaking view of the City in a palatial estate leasing for a cool $475,000 month. We were there just in time; the home was rented within an hour of our visit. Tucked inconspicuously away from prying eyes, the home crests a nestled hillside off Coldwater Canyon. Cantilevered grape vines wrap the mountainside in green trellises. Behind the majestic villa the hillside is swathed in olive trees, gracefully lending shade and an air of antiquity to the landscape. Each room is framed with windowed views stretching to Palos Verdes and beyond, amidst vaulted ceil-

ings and oversized chandeliers. Such sumptuous grounds have been the purview of these women since they joined forces to build a winning team. Joyce Rey wears her success with an air of sophistication and restraint following a career that spans decades of success in the highly competitive Los Angeles market. Since 1978, she has been tackling the business with savvy, establishing her reputation for negotiating landmark estates. Rey has an impressive record that includes being the #1 Coldwell Banker Realtor in the World in June 2011 and in 2012. Her career has seen nearly $2 billion in sales. She has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Greater L.A. Board of Realtors.

When we met up, Rey was on her way to Europe to ink a deal to represent the sale of a small town… in addition to an estate in Montecito. She has represented celebrities including Sonny and Cher, Nicholas Cage, Ringo Starr and Hugh Hefner. She currently represents Robin Williams’ 640-acre Napa Valley estate at a cool $29.9 million. Gottula mastered San Francisco real estate before coming to Beverly Hills and ultimately, forming the Joyce Rey/Stacy Gottula Team at Coldwell Banker, achieving the Previews International designation in record time. The two are recognized internationally for their prestigious clientele, discreet negotiating skills and impressive inventories. Together they boast

$325 million in residential real estate transactions in 2013. Focusing on the luxury real estate market, the two are internationally renowned as the realtors for the nation’s highest-priced sale for 2010 with “Le Belvédère,” listed at $72 million. In 2013, the two women sold “Le Palais.” Listed at $58 million, the highest–priced residential sale in Beverly Hills last year. An article was published in The Courier May 16, 2014, headed “Niami of 944 Airole is Also Developer On Four Trousdale Projects.” That article referred to fatal accidents in that area which claimed the lives of two Los Angeles police officers and injured others. The article does not imply or infer that Mr. Niami was responsible for the accidents.

SCHOOL IS FUN!

A Special Supplement

Kids Love A Summer Camp That Makes Science Cool lot of parents don’t know how their kids will spend their time this summer. But they could be hanging out with cool science professors—becoming real Eggheads The name, Professor Egghead Science Academy™ — science and engineering summer camp for kids —explains what children are doing at this camp. It’s no longer singalongs and crafting during the summer —it’s engineering machines and shooting off rockets. Professor Egghead Science Academy specializes in making science cool. “I loved when my child couldn't wait to tell me about the fun experiment she had done. I am glad to see her start to love science as much as I do,” said Mary Ashburn, parent of 7-year-old mini scientist, after she attended camp. The academy, founded by Shaun and Gary Tuch, with the mission “to make science accessible, understandable and cool,” will be running summer camps throughout Los Angeles. Studies by the American Camp Association show that summer camp is more beneficial to kids than originally thought. “With the opportunity to make a positive impact on those kids who attend our camp—we make sure that our camp programs are action packed.” Shaun Tuch said. Every camp day has a different theme. One day kids are “Rocket Scientists” blasting off into space and the next they are “Detectives” using forensic science to solve camp mysteries. “Everything is hands-on. We don’t like kids sitting around and wasting their summer. Between the space travel, engineering challenges and fun in the sun, we provide a one-of-a-kind summer experience,” said Gary Tuch. Professor Egghead Science Academy is offering full-

Le Lycée Français Marks 50 Years, Honors Dadigan Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, a bilingual, multicultural and international school, celebrated 50 years as a distinguished educational institution in L.A. with a sold-out "1964" gala last week at the Hyatt Century Plaza Hotel. The ‘60's-themed gala honored Donelle Dadigan for her philanthropic, business and leadership roles in L.A. as well as for her Le Lycée heritage as a student, teacher and devoted alumna. Dadigan is founder/president of two

non-profits, The Hollywood Museum in the Historic Max Factor Building and the José Itubi Foundation. Other distinguished alumni featured in the 50th anniversary festivities included Jodie Foster, Christie Brinkley, Claire Danes and Molly Ringwald. The Lycée galas are held every other year as the school’s major fundraiser. This year’s gala was planned to embody the glitz and glamour of the early ‘60s when Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Kabbaz

founded the school in Beverly Hills. “We are delighted to honor Donelle Dadigan for all of her endearing philanthropy, leadership, inspiration, dedication and for her exceptional accomplishments in the L.A. communiDonelle Dadigan

ty,” said Clara-Lisa Kabbaz, president of Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles. As a philanthropist and lover of histor y, Dadigan acquired the historic Max Factor Building, restored the landmark and dedicated it to showcasing 10,000 authentic film and television items spotlighting 100 years of Hollywood history for the public’s education and enjoyment. She is also president and founder of the José Iturbi Foundation in honor of her godfather, concer t pianist José Iturbi. The foundation’s mission is to “popularize classical music one note at a time” for future generations. The school’s 50th anniversary celebrates a victory, when Mr. and Mrs. Kabbaz lobbied in Sacramento for a change to the California education code that allowed teaching in a language other than English. Their success not only paved the way for the opening of Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, but also for many other multilingual, international schools and dual language and immersion programs. The school has become well known for the quality of its education, its devotion to the needs of students as individuals, and its "open arms" policy for pupils from all walks of life. Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles is an independent school that receives no funding from the French government, and is one of the top Lycées in the world with an exemplary American college preparatory program.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 23). Your habit of finding the good in people will bring a surprise in June, a social and exciting month. The end of a job comes in July, and you’ll use what you learned to start a new venture. Be ready to change paddles midstream and adapt. August and November bring lots of activity for your love life. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Personal trainers instruct clients to keep working a muscle until they “feel the burn.” You’ll feel the burn somewhat today and interpret the feeling as a sign you're getting healthier and stronger. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll apply tips and inside information strategically because you’re hungry for change. Those who know what they are supposed to do, but don’t act will be inspired and motivated by you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In some key way, you are different from the other people in the room. You’ll use this to your advantage. Your differences will give you a competitive edge as long as you see them as assets. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Once you quiet your mind, you’ll be extremely intuitive. Pay attention to the nuances of this afternoon’s situation. Your success depends on how you read the room. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Interpret the problems you encounter as feedback to help you improve. Nothing is a failure unless you choose to see it that way. Your friends are as much a source of help as your rivals are. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are a skilled and powerful player in today’s game. You will lead in such a way that people barely feel the force of it. You’ll gently guide the action and gain support from many sides. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A scene will improve when a non-threatening and encouraging person steps in to help. You will play the role for someone else later, but right now it’s your turn to graciously receive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Get the job done; don’t worry about getting it done “just right.” The big picture is what will count to most of the people in today’s audience. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you know the rules well, you can break them. Until then, you’ll enjoy learning all you can about the way things work and abiding by the established laws and boundaries. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). There’s something you did in the past that worked well for you. It’s time to pick up that skill, habit or tool again, because it will be even more effective this time around. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Presentation counts big-time. Whether bringing ideas to one person or a large group, your success will depend on your ability to communicate them well. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You'll encounter a discriminatory and unfair arrangement. You can turn the situation around, though. This one will take time. For now, gather the facts.

ARE YOU OWED SUPPORT? TOP “A/V” RATED CENTURY CITY LAW FIRM CAN HELP YOU. Specializing In: Divorce & Collection of Support & Complex Personal Injury Cases (auto accident, etc.).

O n May 1, 2014 the world lost a one of a kind personality

in Michael Joseph McGuan. Raised in East Chicago, Indiana Michael was 76 years old when he was taken by cancer, but he lived a life that most men dream of, passionately seized each day, and shared a love of life up until his final moments. Joining the United States Marine Corp during the Korean War, Michael did his boot camp at Camp Pendleton where he was introduced to Southern California. After three years of service Michael returned to East Chicago, married Beth McGuan and had his first son Danny McGuan.

No Recovery, No Fee! Free Consultation.

LAW OFFICES OF • BRADFORD L. TREUSCH • 310/557-2599 “A/V” R ATED FOR O VER 30 Y EARS . www. Treusch .net RATED BY

Soon after the new family relocated to Southern California where Michael built his family and life. Spending the next 30 years as a resident of Beverly Hills, Michael was active with the Beverly Hills Rotary Club and an active parishioner of the Church of the Good Shepard. Moving to La Jolla and later retiring to Palm Desert Michael cherished his life in Southern California and in the last few years he found his heart in Palm Desert where he lived and loved with all of his soul until the end. Survived by his wife, Judy McGuan, his three children, Danny, Kelly and Christine, and his grandchildren, Brandon, Jacquelin, Tommy, Caitlin and Alyssa, we will not forget the wonderful life that he gave us, the wonders that he showed us, and the self-reliant individuals that he made of us. There are few people like Michael, and those fortunate enough to have been blessed by his presence can agree on that. He will be missed by the many friends he made over the years, and most of all by his loving family. Memorial services are to be held at 2 p.m. on Friday May 30, 2014 at the Church of the Good Shepard located at 504 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, California, 90210. For details on funeral services please contact Jennifer McGuan at (661) 373-1977 or at our email: McGuanClan@yahoo.com. If I have missed anyone that was close to Michael please give them this information and let them know that we genuinely wish to see them at the Church of the Good Shepard.

LOMA VISTA ACCIDENT LEADS TO ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY (Continued from page 1)

driver. The other two were fatalities; the driver lost control of the vehicle and in both instances, an LAPD officer was killed. Officer Nicholas Lee died in the accident March 7 and Det. Ernest L. Allen Sr. was killed May 9. The City issued a Stop Work Order for the entire Trousdale on May 9 immediately following the fatal crash, putting a halt to heavy hauling vehicles. All project managers were notified and no deliveries or hauls have occurred since that date. As a precaution, extra patrols have been stationed at all four entrances to the Trousdale area. There are currently 47 active construction sites in Trousdale, 17 that involve hauling, demolition, concrete, framing and building swimming pools.

make teaching the most attractive profession in the world.” Miller said he hopes to take a federal role in leading the conversation by making a pot of money available that would raise starting and ending salaries for new teachers. On campaign finance reform, Miller says his proposal includes lawmakers being “banned from raising money for industries and special interests they regulate. Everyone

successful and bring them in.” James Hellmold is a 25year veteran of the Sheriff’s department who currently serves as Assistant Sheriff. Early in his career, he served as an aid for former Sheriff Lee Baca. He says he is “proud of his service with (Baca). To me, he is a very brilliant visionary.”

BEVERLY HILLS funded liability for employee compensation. “We’ve been very generous. We’ve paid both the employee and the employer share,” said Councilmember John Mirisch. “Under the new rules of the Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) it is no longer allowed. Employees must pay the employee share.” Mirisch expressed concern that this agreement did nothing to address unfunded pension liability issues for the future. “I understand that its ‘costneutral’ because we’re already paying for it. It’s a very good deal, but taxpayers are stuck with it,” he said. “We have a systemic problem and it’s going to get worse. I cannot support this.” The salary increase is meant as a “compromise” said City Treasurer Eliot Finkel to ease the transition to paying for their own pension plans for employees. The agreement will go into affect upon a vote by the City Council, but not be retroactive. City staff has been in negotiation since Aug. 2013; their contracts expired last October. Salaries will increase an additional 1-percent in Oct. 2014 to be renegotiated in Oct. 2015. All told, the City will pay out an additional $919,616 over the next two years. The employee bargaining groups are: the Confidential Employees Association of Beverly Hills, the Supervisors Association of Beverly Hills, the Management and Professional Employees Association of Beverly Hills, the Safety Support Association of Beverly Hills, and the Municipal Employees Association of Beverly Hills.

merchandise. “I am delighted the strategic plan and tactics for fiscal year 13/14 were so well received,” said Julie Wagner. CVB CEO Julie Wagner will join Peninsula Beverly Hills’ Managing Director Offer Nissenbaum on a trade mission to China Sunday. A Rodeo Drive Committee video documented the year, beginning with the Rodeo de Caballos in October, kicking off a year of Centennial events. The Holiday Lighting Ceremony, Chinese New Year Celebration and the Centennial Block Party and Taste of Beverly Hills are highlights of the year’s events. The RDC will receive

$867,000 for events and marketing initiatives to promote commerce on Rodeo Dr. Among the regularly scheduled initiatives for the coming FY are two new initiatives. The RDC will have an advertising campaign at Los Angeles International Airport ($150,000) and upgrade the Rodeo Dr. website ($98,000). Travel and Tourism are growth industries in Beverly Hills. The City’s Finance Department projects $35,500,000 in Transient Occupancy Tax revenues for the 2014-15 fiscal year ahead. The funds allocated for the Rodeo Drive Committee and the CVB come from the Tourism and Marketing Budget.

All of these activities require heavy haul vehicles. Seven more that will require heavy haul trucks are in plan-check. The City will examine “basement”construction, which requires excavation and cement trucks. Limits on project size are under consideration, as are limits on the number of large-scale projects. Permitting options will be used in conjunction with enforcement. Tuesday, Staff recommended the addition of sitespecific hauling plans as a prerequisite for issuing permits. The City is considering a restriction on truck size to two axles and 26,000-pounds fully loaded, with a detailed hauling plan for those truck deliveries. Each construction site would be required to have a comprehensive hauling schedule, a predefined hauling route, a hauling permit renewable every 30-days, a proof of daily vehicle inspection form, a 90day CHP truck certification, enforced by commercial vehicle

experts. Special braking systems (“Jake brakes”) on large deliveries, staggered permits for excavations and cement work, security cameras, increased patrols and speed bumps are also being considered. Increased signage and speed monitoring, permanent speed indicator signs, additional CHP assistance and road striping are also in the works. City staff will seek community input and ideas to reach the zero tolerance goal. With the combination of efforts by the BHPD, City staff, input from the community, CHP assistance and the anticipated recommendations which are expected at the end of the month by transportation engineering firm Fehr & Peers, the City will implement a detailed plan to reach the Zero Goal that could become the gold standard for safe development throughout the hillside areas.

knows that’s a conflict of interest.” Miller says the Purple Line Extension under Beverly Hills High School is an issue he has kept an eye on and that he wants to do more research before taking a stance in support or opposition. Marianne Williamson brings a unique perspective to the race, her first foray into politics. She is perhaps best known as an author with four New York Times #1 best sellers. Williamson is also passionate about campaign finance reform. She calls it the “Issue underlying all these other issues.

It’s reckless and irresponsible.” On education, Williamson says she supports universal access to preschool and that access to education must be cheaper for young Americans. “Student loan debt exceeds credit card debt in America.” Williamson says she is “totally opposed” to the Purple Line Extension under Beverly Hills High School. “50 years from now people will be saying, ‘what were they thinking?’” Williamson said about the possibility of the subway going under BHHS. David Kanuth has been a public defender for seven years

and before that helped build start-up tech companies from the ground up. On education, Kanuth says looking at how parents, students and schools use the time before and after school is critically important. Kanuth is also pushing for immigration reform. “Everybody agrees we need immigration reform, but I think there’s a lack of leadership and political courage.” Kanuth said he is “for a pathway to citizenship. Probably a shorter pathway than most, but they need to be lawabiding residents.” Another issue Kanuth is

passionate about is climate change. He says he hopes to not just push more discussion to the forefront, but to help Americans more easily understand climate change. Kanuth said he needed more time to study the safety concerns regarding the Purple Line Extension under Beverly Hills High School, but noted that “it sounds like we should be following just the general methane issue. That’s a danger to begin with. Anytime you’re in a situation involving students and teachers, you want to be safer than any other.”

Hellmold says Baca took the fall for rogue members of the department. “They all pointed the finger at Baca, but they were in charge. Being such a noble person, he said ‘the buck stops here.’” He is pushing “progressive reform” to “modernize our department in all aspects... with clear expectations and accountability for our employees.” On the topic of modernizing the department, Hellmold says he wants the department’s

79 buses and 3,000 vehicles to be fuel efficient and eco-friendly. “I’m going to do it immediately. It’s cost effective, clean and the right thing to do.” Hellmold says he too wants to reduce the amount of time deputies currently spend in the jails” Former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka has more than 30 years of service with the Sheriff’s Department. He met with The Courier before the Los Angeles Times reported that he and current Capt. William Carey were

subjects of a federal grand jury investigation into excessive force and corruption in L.A. County jails. Tanaka did tell The Courier that he had been subpoenaed as a witness in the trial, but that he was limited in what he could say about the case. Tanaka told The Courier his first order of business would restructuring the command staff. “Half the command staff will be gone. I know them. That’s the institutional knowl-

edge nobody else has. I will clean house.” Tanaka said. Tanaka touted his experience working on the department’s budget over the last decade. “I’m proud to say in 11 years, nobody else has run this department’s budget. Certainly not at these ranks. And we never went over budget once.” All agreed that the mentally ill patients must be separated from the general population in the county jail, which is not the case in the currently proposed $2 billion jail expansion.

PAY INCREASE COMING TO CITY STAFF (Continued from page 1)

Only Councilman John Mirisch expressed disapproval for the agreements. A vote will not be taken until the second reading of the proposals at the next City Council meeting June 17. An ordinance passed in December 2013 requires that MOUs be placed on two council agendas at least two weeks apart and posted on the City website at least 72-hours in advance. The City of Beverly Hills will pay out nearly $1 million more in net compensation-related costs to its employees over the next two years if the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the City's bargaining groups are approved by the Beverly Hills City Council. MOUs concerning the City's employee compensation plans will require employees to contribute 8-percent of their annual salary to their own retirement plans. Previously, the City of Beverly Hills had paid the full employee contribution for miscellaneous employees. To offset the “burden” of having to pay into their own pension fund, the City will grant employees a 10-percent salary increase, thus netting a two percent salary increase. “Eight percent of that we were responsible for anyway,” said Councilmember Nancy Krasne. “It may appear that it’s an enormous increase when in fact, its an offset. We were obligated anyway; we’ve just shifted the obligation,” she said. However, the City faces well over $100 million in un-

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS THE COURIER’S ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS

U.S. Representative (33rd Congressional District) - Ted Lieu Henry Waxman’s retirement after giving 40 years of faithful service representing our district surfaced 18 candidates to follow in his footsteps. Our editorial team has attended many of the candidates forums and we chose to interview the six who had gathered considerable support – Wendy Gruel, David Kanuth,Ted Lieu, Matt Miller, Elan Carr, and Marianne Williamson – over the last two weeks. I hope you will read Matt Lopez’s articles written about all six last week and in today’s paper. It has been extremely difficult to sort through all the information, speeches, and ideas generated by this energetic group of candidates, but in the end we are endorsing Ted Lieu. Ted, most recently a California State Senator, has also served on the Torrance City Council, in the California State Assembly, and continues to serve in the Air Force Reserve. He made good on his promise to himself to give back to the United States and he wants to continue in that vein. The Courier questioned all the candidates on their position on the subway and Ted made the time to walk the campus, meet with consultants and developed a good understanding of the problems with the Metro tunnel under BHHS. He is tough, asked the right questions, and has shown independence in the past on difficult issues. Wendy Gruel said she would make a decision based “on safety” and Matt Miller was not well versed on the issue, but listened carefully. Matt, who served in the Clinton administration (as did Wendy) as a Senior Advisor in the White House Office of Management and Budget also impressed our editorial board with his knowledge and proficiency on financial issues. Marianne Williamson was very clear on opposing the subway under the high school and any other special-interest project. David Kanuth has surprised all with his ability to raise funds and become a credible candidate in a crowded race. We were very impressed with our own Beverly Hills resident Elan Carr and hope that he will gather all the Republican votes. We are fortunate to have choices, but the bottom line is Ted Lieu will do the homework, will be independent, and has the experience and the chops to get a seat at the table and be an excellent representative and defender of this district. Sheriff of Los Angeles County - Jim McDonnell We have met with the three leading candidates to succeed Lee Baca and endorse current Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell for Los Angeles County Sheriff. McDonnell spent most of his career with the Los Angeles Police Department. He is a consummate professional who barely lost the top LAPD job to Charlie Beck. Since taking up his post in Long Beach, he has improved that department impressively. That said, as we told Chief McDonnell, our greatest fear is a change of attitude in the Sheriff’s Department. We know cultural differences between the LAPD’s: “hardcore-we-are-here-toenforce-the-laws” and the Sheriff’s Department’s: “we’re here to protect you and we’re one of you.” That’s also what we told Chief McDonnell. The Courier endorses Jim McDonnell for Sheriff. California State Treasurer - John Chiang The Courier wholeheartedly endorses a vote for John Chiang to become treasurer of the state of California. Chiang serves now as the state’s controller and under his administration the office has become a model for transparency in government and service to the taxpayers—his employees answer the phone promptly, research your questions, and follow through precisely and in a timely manner. Other state agencies, for example, the Secretary of State’s office, run you through Internet hell, are grumpy if you happen to reach them by phone, and refuse to fix their own mistakes. Chiang was the first state controller to post state, county, and city salaries online in an effort to educate us and make that information available to the general public. He was quite clear that the Bell scandal resulted from secrecy about how resident’s tax money was expended. The Courier has followed his example and continues to post complete salary and benefit information on all employees of the City of Beverly Hills to inform our neighbors on our website. Chiang is accessible and responsive and, in our opinion, will be proactive in educating all of us on the intricacies of buying and selling bonds and the implications for future indebtedness and possible threats to California’s financial stability.

This is the third in a series about mother/ daughter philanthropists and their devotion to the Blue Ribbon of The Music Center. Pictured: Judy Felsenthal (left) and her daughter Lisa Neipris

Judy Felsenthal (mother of Lisa Neipris) • Were you brought up to appreciate the value of giving back and, if so, who instilled this spirit in you? My parents were very involved with different charities when I was growing up, and set an early example for me about helping others. My mother volunteered with the Red Cross and transcribed braille for the blind, which led me in college to do recordings for the blind. Since college I have tutored children, volunteered at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and been involved in various charities and served on their boards. • What have you personally gained from “giving back?” I wanted to set the same example for my children. I volunteered in all their classrooms through grade school. For my daughter, Lisa, her participation in giving back started with our Brownie troop, with the girls helping to plant trees, singing at senior citizen’s homes, making holiday cards for sick children in the hospital, among other projects. I've been blessed in my life and it feels good to “give back” and help others. When helping a child learn to read or helping the nurses at the hospital, I feel I am contributing to society and making someone's life easier. • What are some of the reasons that you joined Blue Ribbon and why did you encourage your daughter to join? Joining the Blue Ribbon gave me the chance to meet other women with the same values and to contribute on a larger scale. The Children’s Festival reaches 18,000 fifth graders a year where we bring a theatrical performance to The Music Center for them to enjoy. I have been working on the festival since I joined in 1989 and telling my daughter about it each year. She has come with me to many of the Blue Ribbon functions and feels fortunate to have been able to join and participate in the Children’s Festival beside me. It has been a great source of enjoyment for me to have her work with me in introducing the arts to young children. This has proven to be a great bonding experience for both of us. Lisa Neipris (daughter of Judy Felsenthal) • How/when were you introduced to the concept of “giving back?” The concept of giving back was always important in my family. My mother, father, and grandparents whole-heartedly gave time, finances, and resources to wide variety of different causes and organizations throughout my youth. It is difficult to pinpoint one particular incident, as giving back and helping those in need, seemed to be more of a way of life, rather than an isolated occasion. • How instrumental was your mother in sharing this concept with you? She was very instrumental in sharing this concept with me, and is an inspiration in terms of how much she gives of herself and the valuable contributions made to the community. She has volunteered and served on a number of boards throughout the years, in the areas of healthcare, education, and the arts. My mother has served on the board of the Blue Ribbon, JVS, and The Amie Karen Cancer Foundation for Children, and helped organize fundraising events for the CCFA and Otis College of Art and Design. Being so involved with the arts myself, I was particularly interested in her commitment to the Blue Ribbon and always heard wonderful news about the Children’s Festival. • What have you gained by being a member of Blue Ribbon? I joined the Blue Ribbon last year and have gained so much already. After hearing about the Children’s Festival for years, it was very exciting to volunteer and see how excited the 18,000 5th graders were to see a professional dance performance and have the opportunity to visit The Music Center. I could tell what a special day it was for them and how impacted they were to see these talented artists perform in such a beautiful venue, as the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. I have also personally enjoyed events organized by the Blue Ribbon, including different performances at The Music Center. I loved going backstage and seeing the sets of Tosca. I have met a number of wonderful, unique, and inspiring women in the group. • What have you learned from your mother about philanthropy that you hope to pass on to your children? My mother encouraged me to volunteer and become involved with different charities and organizations that are special to me, along with seeking out opportunities to become more involved with my community. Throughout the years, I have volunteered with Project Angel Food and the West Hollywood Food Coalition. As a designer of a women’s clothing line, I was able to combine my work and philanthropy, by putting on fashion shows at fundraising events for Operation School Bell and World Class Youth, which works to stop child trafficking. I have a 7-month-old daughter and hope to inspire her to incorporate philanthropy into her daily life, as my mother has inspired for me. For the time being, we are just working on crawling and saying “mama.”
