Nate’n Al Delicatessen Sold To Shelli, Irving Azoff

By Matt Lopez Nate’n Al Delicatessen is under new family ownership, but not much is going to change for the legendary deli.

Longtime owner Mark Mendelson announced this week that he and his brother David have sold the famous restaurant to longtime customers and business moguls Shelli and Irving Azoff, who will keep the deli intact, operating as it always has, serving Beverly Hills residents’ favorite pastrami sandwiches for over seven decades.

“Nate’n Al is open and thriv-

ing,” Shelli told the Courier on Thursday. “We are pleased to continue an almost 75-year tradition of serving the best customers the very best of your deli favorites.”

Nate’n Al was opened in 1945

by Al Mendelson and his business partner Nate Rimer. Ownership of the deli has remained in the family bloodline through the years, on down to Al’s grandsons, Mark and David.

On any given day, a trip to Nate’n Al will put a diner elbowto-elbow with some of the biggest power players in Hollywood. Some (see ‘NATE’N AL SALE’ page 11)

EXECUTIVE FIRE OFFICER PROGRAM – Battalion Chief Mike Hand was honored for his Certificate of Completion Tuesday at City Hall by the City Council and Fire Chief Greg Barton. Hand completed a rigorous four-year Executive Fire Officer Program that provides senior officers in key leadership roles an opportunity to enhance their professional development and transform their organization through a program of the United States Fire Administration and the National Fire Academy in conjunction with FEMA.

The Beverly Hills Weekly erroneously reported that the plan passed and would be implemented. “They got it wrong,” said Deputy City Manager George Chavez.

A packed house with public comments limited to two minutes rather than the usual three still took the meeting past midnight.

The proposed plan called for a full rollout in a threemonth trial period to determine the effectiveness of the pilot program, rather than a limited “soft” rollout recommended by the City’s consultants, Fehr & Peers.

The Traffic & Parking Commission agreed that it was “important to implement the pilot as soon as possible,” according to the staff report.

Boy’s Best Friend Finds His Way Home – 38 Miles Away In Beverly Hills

By Victoria Talbot A stray dog dragging a chewed leash that was found wandering the street at Almont Drive and Gregory Drive late Saturday evening was miraculously returned to his owner late Tuesday.

The owner, Don Tillung, said that “Snowball” ran away from his home on May 13, six days before.

Home for Snowball is in Rowland Heights, 38 miles from where he was found nearly a week later.

Late Saturday evening, Bryan Landgreen noticed a dog walking the streets of Beverly Hills without an owner. He was

By Victoria Talbot A radical plan that would have essentially closed off the southwest portion of Beverly Hills from residents and cut through traffic was rejected by the City Council Tuesday evening.

The plan would have restricted right turns on westbound Olympic Boulevard to the eight northbound streets between El Camino Drive and Linden Drive; no left turns on southbound Moreno Drive onto Durant, Robbins and Young Drives; and no right turns eastbound on South Santa Monica Boulevard onto Charleville Boulevard during the peak traffic hours, Monday – Friday, 7 – 10 a.m. and 4 – 7 p.m. and adding traffic circles at 16 intersections along Charleville Boulevard and Gregory Way between El Camino Drive and Linden Drive.

LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280A Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO CONDITIONALLY PERMIT COSMETIC SPAS IN THE C-3 COMMERCIAL ZONE, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

PROJECT ADDRESS: 9800 Wilshire Boulevard & 121 South Spalding Drive (Southwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and South Spalding Drive) The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, June 13, 2019, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider the following:

A request for a Zone Text Amendment (ZTA), and an Amendment of a previously approved Development Plan Review (DPR) for the properties located at 9800 Wilshire Boulevard and 121 South Spalding Drive. The Applicant, Spring Place, requests a ZTA to allow music (background music and occasional live performances) on the rooftop facilities of a private co-working club located outside the Business Triangle area of the City. The Applicant also requests an amendment to the conditions of a previously approved DPR permit to allow members of the club to bring up to ten (10) guests per member to the rooftop facilities. The previously approved DPR permit (Planning Commission Resolution No. 1846) limited members of the club to three (3) guests per member on the rooftop facilities.

This Project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the environmental regulations of the City. Upon review, the Project appears to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as the Project involves minor changes to land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in changes to land use or density regulations. In addition, the Project appears to qualify for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (Existing Facilities) pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines, for the “operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use”. The Project involves the continued operation of an existing facility, and minor physical alterations to the facility. Accordingly, the Planning Commission will consider a recommendation to find the Project exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Sections 15305 and 15301.

Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. Written comments also may be submitted prior to the public hearing to the Planning Division, via mail: Attn. Chloe Chen, 455 N. Rexford Drive, 1st Floor, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, or via email to cchen@beverlyhills.org. Any written comments received by end of the day on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 will be attached to the agenda report regarding this item. Any comments received after Tuesday, June 4, 2019, but prior the public hearing, will be distributed to the Commission under separate cover.

According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the City’s action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing. Please note that any comments received prior to or during the public hearing will be considered as part of the public record.

The proposed Ordinance would amend Beverly Hills Municipal Code §10-3-100, §10-3-1603, §10-3-1604, §10-3-1620.1, and §10-3-1856, and would add §10-31620.2 to: a) create a definition for “cosmetic spa”; b) require cosmetic spas to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate in the C-3 Commercial Zones of the City; c) exempt cosmetic spas from the City’s Medical Use Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11-O-2602) if it meets the cosmetic spa definition, complies with the cosmetic spa standards, and is approved via a CUP; and d) establish required findings for a CUP to approve a cosmetic spa use.

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

Upon review, the Project appears to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, as the Project involves minor changes to land use regulations, and does not involve physical alterations to land at this time. As such, there is no possibility that adoption and implementation of the proposed Project may have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, the City Council will consider the staff recommendation to find the Ordinance exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question would have a significant effect on the environment.

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

The comments should be received prior to the hearing date. Any written comments received by close of business on Tuesday, June 11, 2019 will be attached to the agenda report regarding this item.

Beverly Hills To Hold Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit Fair On Thursday, May 30

By Victoria Talbot The City of Beverly Hills has taken a proactive approach to earthquake safety in the interest of saving lives and property in the event of a major seismic occurrence. The City has developed a seismic retrofit ordinance (No. 18-0-2767) for wood-frame, soft-story buildings.

The ordinance became effective on Jan. 11, 2019 and it addresses vulnerable buildings identified with one of the following criteria: • A permit for construction of a new building was applied for prior to Jan. 1, 1978, or if no permit can be located, the structure is determined by a

City building official to have been built under building code standards enacted prior to that date.

• The ground floor or basement portion of the structure contains parking or other similar open floor space that causes soft, weak or open-front wall lines and there exists one or more stories above.

To assist property owners with the process of retrofitting, the Community Development Department is hosting a SoftStory Seismic Retrofit Fair on Thursday, May 30, from 1-6 p.m. at the Civic Center Court Yard, located at 444 N. Rexford Dr. Design professionals, City

staff and manufacturers specializing in seismic retrofitting will be present to provide resources, information, materials and incentive resources for owners who must comply with the new mandatory retrofits.

Projects that are completed within 18 and 24 months from the date of the Notice To Comply could receive a 100% or 50% refund of the permit fees, respectively, according to the City website.

For more information on the program visit www.beverlyhills.org/seismicretrofit.

For questions, email retrofit@beverlyhills.org or call the Community Development hotline at 310-285-1113.

World’s Jewish Museum Gala To Honor Frank Gehry On June 6 At The Montage Beverly Hills

By John L. Seitz The American Friends of the World’s Jewish Museum (AFWJM), will host the inaugural Gala of the World’s Jewish Museum on Thursday, June 6, at the Montage Beverly Hills.

Renowned architect Frank Gehry (pictured) will receive a lifetime achievement award while David and Sheryl Wiener will be honored for their leadership in the fulfillment of the vision of the museum.

Comic Howie Mandel will emcee the event chaired by Shauna Shapiro Jackson with the support of the L.A. Committee of AFWJM and directors Gail Asper and Moe Levy.

The World’s Jewish Museum (www.worldsjewishmuseum.com) will be an immersive experience, part of an iconic complex that will include a world-class cultural

and entertainment center.

Designed by Frank Gehry, the museum will be a celebration of the contributions that the Jewish people have given to the world.

Situated on the bank of the Yarkon River, and overlooking the Mediterranean, it is destined to become the hub of cultural and recreational activity in Tel Aviv.

One of the most important architects of modern times, Frank Gehry is known

for designing the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and Dancing House in Prague, among other iconic structures. The six level museum will be his first architectural project in Israel. “The building, and its contents, will be a representation of what the Jewish people have done and can do without limitations” said Gehry. “I’m going to put my heart and soul into it”.

Gehry has designed a gathering place, linking the past to the present and looking toward the future. In a setting of parkland, gardens, walking paths and wetlands, six pavilions will encircle a grand lobby, each dedicated to a different sphere of inquiry, or tenets of Jewish identity. There will be an auditorium, classroom space, an observatory, a (see ‘JEWISH MUSEUM’ page 15)

Beverly Hills High School Earns Top WASC Accreditation

By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills High School this week was announced as having received Superior Accreditation in a renowned Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) assessment.

WASC is one of six regional accrediting agencies in the United States, which works closely with the Office of Overseas Schools under the U.S. Department of State.

In January 2019, as part of an evaluation conducted every six years by WASC, Beverly Hills High was evaluated against public, private and charter schools, along with colleges from the Western Association. The evaluation takes into account analysis of academ-

ics, school culture and support services.

In May, BHHS received one of the highest accreditations possible – a 6year accreditation status with a midcycle (three year) progress report and single-day visit. BHHS received high marks for its AP scores, general testing results, teacher expertise and support programs.

The recommended growth areas that WASC will assess in three years when it returns will include the reconfiguration implementation, greater technological implementation within classrooms and more formalized internal common assessments to improve equity of programming.

By Victoria Talbot Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will shut down portions of Sunset Boulevard next month to accommodate critical infrastructure upgrades and address reliability issues due to high demand. LADWP will be installing additional underground powerlines for Bel Air, Beverly Crest, Westwood and Holmby Hills.

Metro closures in Westwood, Century City and Beverly Hills have already impacted traffic in the area, which has some of the world’s busiest intersections. Ten of America’s 25 busiest intersections are in Los Angeles.

The trenching and excavating on Sunset Boulevard will begin in June, following the completion of the current term at UCLA, and will continue through May 2020.

Phase 1 Construction, beginning in June, will be in two areas on Sunset Boulevard; Carolwood Drive to Beverly Glen Boulevard and Bellagio Road to the 405 Freeway.

Two traffic lanes, primarily the two middle lanes, will be closed to accommodate construction and two lanes will remain open at all times for east and westbound traffic.

LADWP plans to install four new underground circuits, a total of 27,138 feet of cable.

Traffic will be impacted; there will

be flagmen on-site to aid traffic flow.

No-Parking/Tow Away signs will be posted throughout the area as needed.

When the two portions of Sunset Boulevard in Phase 1 are completed, construction will shift to Phase 2 on Bellagio Road and Beverly Glen, Chalon Road, Bel Air Road and Bellagio Place in 2020.

When the schedule is finalized, residents will be notified.

Bellagio Road, because it is narrow, will require a complete road closure.

Access will be restricted to local residents, deliveries and emergency vehicles. Detour routes will be posted in advance with message signs on impacted streets.

Construction will be Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.

On Saturdays, the work preparation will commence at 6 a.m. but construction will not begin until 8 a.m.

Vaults will only be installed on Saturdays.

Tower Cancer Research Foundation’s Tower of Hope Gala Raises Nearly $1.3 Million Tower Cancer Research Foundation’s (TCRF) “Tower of Hope Gala” last week at The Beverly Hilton raised nearly $1.3 million for cancer research and patient support programs.

TCRF has the honor to help support the scientific community through our scientific grant funding,” Dr. Solomon Hamburg, TCRF president told the nearly 700 in attendance. He currently serves as a UCLAf aculty member, Clinical Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology Oncology.

“As a practicing physician for nearly 40 years I have witnessed a technologic and scientific explosion, which has prolonged and cured many people with this terrible disease,” Hamburg added.

Several of Tower’s noted Career Development Grants were awarded to researchers at UCLA, Cedars-Sinai and UCSD as part of Tower’s ongoing Power of Precision Campaign that seeks to accelerate the pace of cancer research in molecular genetics and to promote translation of scientific advances into new life-saving therapies.

Historically, cancer patients have usually received the same

treatment as others who have the same type and stage of cancer. “After decades of research, scientists now understand that patients’ tumors have genetic changes that cause cancer to grow and spread,” Hamburg said.

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

“One of the trials we funded looked at combining genetic changes of cancer with immunotherapy in lung cancer, and it works 30 percent of the time,” said Hamburg. ”We can improve genetic changes in cancer and combine immunotherapy with targeted therapy and get greater success.

“Doctors now understand that when a cancer tumor is sending a signal to the immune system to leave the tumor alone, we can send a different signal to allow the immune system to do what it does, and overcome the tumor signal.”

With more exact information, doctors can screen for early signs of cancer before

symptoms emerge, identify the highly individualized forms of the disease, avoid treatments that do not help and determine what treatments will, Hamburg said.

The campaign is designed to enable researchers to explore promising therapies that specifically target these changes or block their effects.

Honorees this year included Dr. Philomena McAndrew, Abby and Alan Levy, and Dick, Sally and Alexandra Lippin and The Lippin Family Trust.

• Dr. McAndrew, one of the

country’s leading oncologists, is one of the founding members of Tower Hematology Oncology Medical Group.

• Abby Levy joined the Tower Board of Directors in 2004, and served as chair from 2009 to 2011. Alan Levy is chairman of Tishman International Companies, a commercial real estate management and development company headquartered in L.A. • Dick Lippin founded the respected PR firm, The Lippin Group in 1986. In 2009, he married Sally. Alexandra Lippin

built a fashion, jewelry and special events division at The Lippin Group. She left the firm in 2016 to join Elyse Walker, where she currently heads the company’s marketing, jewelry and fine arts departments.

In the last two decades, Tower has raised more than $30 million to support a multitude of different scientific grants from one-year $100,000 Career Development Grants to five year $500,000 Senior Investigator Grants to $1,000,000 Multi-disciplinary Discovery Funds.

Pair Of Spec House Giants Compete for Top Sale in Los Angeles

By Victoria Talbot Amidst a deepening slowdown in luxury home sales, two big spec developers with megamansions next door to each other in Bel-Air have slashed their prices.

Rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. Raj Kanodia spent a reported $50 million to develop a 1.2acre property that hit the market last July for $180 million.

The 34,000 square foot residence is right next door to Bruce Makowsky’s spec house that was originally priced at $250 million. The price has been cut first to $188 million and then in January, $150 million.

While Makowsky’s home has languished on the market, Kanodia told CNBC that he was willing to consider offers starting at $120 million. He would also consider leasing it for $1.5 million/month.

Kanodia’s spec house fea-

tures nine bedrooms, a 2,000bottle wine room with a Portuguese limestone façade.

Makowsky mansion has a moat, Louis Vuitton-designed bowling alley and a 40-seat theater with 12 bedrooms, 21 bathrooms, five bars and two Champagne rooms.

The most expensive home

in Bel-Air is the Sumner Spalding-designed Jerry Perenchio estate, Chartwell, his home for 30 years until his death. The house was originally listed at a reported $350 million, but with the slowdown, was reduced to $245 million last fall.

Transit Density Bill SB 50 Paused in Appropriations Committee - But Not Dead Yet

By Victoria Talbot Senate Bill 50, Sen. Scott Wiener’s controversial housing bill, has stalled temporarily in the State Senate Appropriations Committee, thanks to Committee Chair Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge), for pausing the bill until 2020.

However, Wiener’s supporters are hounding Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) to override that decision. Wiener says he has the public on his side.

They say it is because Portantino opposes the bill that it was shelved. It has passed through the Senate Housing Committee, which Wiener chairs, and the Senate Governance and Finance Committee.

It is not unusual for bills to reach the Appropriations Committee and become suspended indefinitely, but SB 50 is different.

SB 50 will, in all likelihood, return. It is not over.

“SB 50 isn’t dead,” said Beverly Hills Mayor John Mirisch, a strong opponent.

“Like many zombie bills from Sacramento, it could come back before next year as a ‘gutand-amend,’ gorier and scarier than ever.”

Supporters of the bill quickly took to social media to condemn Portantino. One viral YouTube video featured Ryan Tanaka, Abundant Housing LA online director, fantasizing about killing NIMBYs (an acronym for “Not In My

Backyard,” a derogatory term that supporters- who call themselves YIMBYs, or Yes In My Backyard- use to vilify opponents) while playing a video urban-warfare game involving gunning down people on streets and provoking supporters of SB 50 with suggestive language.

Supporters have also tied single-family homes to racism, while Sen. Wiener has repeatedly used stereotypical references to Beverly Hills that imply “rich Jews,” according to sparring partner, Beverly Hills Mayor John Mirisch.

Mirisch points out that with its Jewish majority, Beverly Hills has overcome any remnants of racist covenants and redlining that once excluded Jews from buying homes in the 90210.

However, while complaining about wealthy cities and single-family homes, Wiener’s bill specifically exempts sparsely-populated Marin County, an uber-wealthy suburb across the bay from San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

Marin’s affluent cities, including Sausalito, Mill Valley and Tiburon, have a higher median household income than Beverly Hills.

Mirisch has challenged Scott Wiener to a debate, which he says, Wiener will never accept.

Unquestionably, the pro SB 50 mantra, which calls single-family homes “little boxes,” prefer “bigger boxes,” with multiple little homes inside,

throughout historically singlefamily home neighborhoods.

California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his disappointment that SB 50 didn’t make it out of committee.

Local Sen. Ben Allen has not committed to oppose the bill, though he represents neighborhoods that have sought preservation for years against the forces of developers and their megamansions.

Developers have found a new way to retake space. They will do it through legislation that erases all the zoning protections that municipalities have struggled and fought over for decades to be replaced by a one-size fits all bill from Sacramento.

The bill has legs, and most people in the state are totally clueless about the affect it will have on their lives, their neighborhoods, their communities and their rent.

SB 50 impact analysis by Livable California calls this a “Real Estate Bill,” not a “Housing Bill.”

The bill is much harder on neighborhoods than last year’s SB287. This one will displace tens of thousands of residents, gentrify neighborhoods across the state and worsen housing affordability.

Cities would be banned from rejecting large luxury developments within a ¼ mile of bus stops. It overturns singlefamily zoning in neighborhoods that are above-median income, jobs-rich and with good public schools. It encour-

ages 75-ft and 85-ft tall luxury towers in single-family areas; Wiener says 45-55 feet height but with Density Bonus laws, it adds up to an additional 30 feet. Cities will not be able to stop demolitions in these areas, utterly failing to protect renters who will be displaced.

In addition, SB 50 eliminates any three of these restrictions: setbacks for greenbelts, floor area ratio, parking, environmental sustainability, historic buildings and zones and on-site open space or green space.

Bus agencies can now override all the zoning within ¼ mile of a bus stop so developers can erect massive luxury condominiums. Bus routes can be revamped in a matter of months, and transit agencies can add a high frequency bus stop to any street to create a transit zone.

For every luxury unit, many more affordable units must be available. In San Francisco, their own nexus study shows that for every 100 luxury units at least 30-40 affordable units are needed.

It also incentivizes 1-bedroom luxury units without green space for children, which is perceived as anti-family, denying play areas for kids.

In Beverly Hills, areas along Wilshire Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, Burton Way and Robertson could become 75-ft tall luxury developments.

Last year, in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, 83% of apartments built were

luxury units, unaffordable to most people. Homelessness increased. Rents increased.

Research shows that it takes 25 years for housing that is considered “luxury” when it was built to “decline to the middle of the housing market,” according to the non-partisan California legislative analyst writing in 2016 perspectives on Helping LowIncome Californians Afford Housing.

There is no cohesive, statewide organization to educate or oppose this bill, though several organizations across the State have filed a lawsuit against it.

Many cities oppose it, including Beverly Hills. The Los Angeles City Council opposes it, but Mayor Eric Garcetti is mute.

“One bill cooked up by Sacramento politicians is worse than the other,” said Mirisch. It’s simply astounding how they let Wall Street and special interests call the shots.

The scapegoating of cities and the attacks on communities are just not acceptable. We can’t keep playing ‘Whack-A-Mole’ with these bad faith bills. To put an end to all this mischief and to allow communities to become the best versions of themselves, what we really need is a state constitutional amendment which would clarify that land use, zoning and urban planning are inherently municipal affairs.”

NATE’N AL SALE

May 24, 2019 | Page 11

By Matt Lopez A Beverly Hills man who formerly served as chief marketing officer for the nowdefunct Mirae Bank was sentenced Monday to 70 months in federal prison, according to the United States Department of Justice.

Ataollah Aminpour, 60, of Beverly Hills, was sentenced Monday by a federal judge for his role in a scheme that caused a Koreatown-based lender to issue over $15 million in fraudulent loans, causing the bank to suffer severe

losses.

According to authorities, Aminpour claimed to be a successful businessman who could help people obtain financing for gas station or car wash businesses with little-tono down payment. On the commercial loan applications that Aminpour would submit to the bank on behalf of the borrower, however, Aminpour would inflate the actual purchase price of the business, leading the bank to issue inflated loan amounts that were not fully secured.

are recognizable celebrities, while others are Hollywood heavyweights who do their work behind the scenes.

In a statement, Mark said that many people had expressed interested in buying the deli over the years.

“Finding the right owners that value our staff, some whom have been with us for 30-42 years, as much as our brand was paramount and essential. The Azoff’s have been loyal customers for over 30 years and have a love and passion for Nate'n Al and our food. My brother David and I

are proud to have them carry on our grandparents' legacy of excellent service, serving only the finest delicatessen food.”

In January, Shelli told the Courier that much of the motivation behind their purchase was to make sure the restaurant remained intact.

“Nate’n Al has been an institution in our family for decades – my kids, their kids, our entire family. Just like it has been for so many families in Beverly Hills. We don’t want to lose that,” she said.

The Mendelsons said they will help with the ownership transition.

TRAFFIC PLAN

who would likely absorb all the traffic from the eight no-turn streets would have been clueless until the pilot program was initiated.

The proposed pilot plan would likely reduce cutthrough traffic in the study area – though questioning by City Council members of Kunz and the Fehr & Peers consultant revealed that it might not have had any significant impact on speeding or safety.

In 2010, SWHOA negotiated a deal with the developers of the 40-story Ten Thousand property, the residential tower at the intersection of Moreno Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard. The agreement in March 2012 required them to make a deposit of $200,000 to be held in an escrow account for a traffic/streets study that would be used to analyze the project’s “potential contribution to traffic on Beverly Hills streets and implement traffic calming measures.” The funds became available Jan. 25, 2018 and must be used by Sept. 16, 2020.

When the funds became available, the City Council directed the Traffic & Parking Commission to work with SWHOA to identify options and proposals for traffic calming in the southwest area, resulting in the presentation at City Council.

The City has spent approximately $50,000 of the $200,000 so far, leaving an additional $150,000 for further work on data collection and mitigation measures if done prior to the Sept. 16, 2020 end date.

Beginning in 2017, a series of meetings with the SWHOA, the Traffic & Parking Commission, Fehr & Peers and the public were held and several options were explored.

Among those options were traffic diverters, creating cul de sacs, peak-hour left-turn restrictions on Olympic Boulevard – and even possibly establishing a permit system that would have allowed only residents to enter into the area, closing the public streets off to through traffic.

Residents in the southwest cannot close public streets for

their own use, but surprisingly, City Council member Bob Wunderlich and Mayor John Mirisch sought other ways to block entrance to the southwest, including potentially posting signs that read “Local Access Only,” or even, congestion pricing to deter the public from using the public streets.

Wunderlich and Mirisch directed staff to seek a legislative solution that could restrict traffic and further protect the City’s exclusivity, but Councilmember Lili Bosse did not agree.

The turn restrictions proposed in the pilot plan would have effectively sealed off the area during peak traffic times, preventing anyone from turning into the area.

When questioned, Kunz and Fehr & Peers Senior Principal Steve Brown reported that the turn restrictions would inhibit traffic flow. The traffic circles would slow vehicles down 5-7 seconds per intersection, but would have no effect on drivers’ behavior between intersections, where drivers typically speed to the next intersection. The impact, said Brown, could reduce speeds by only a few miles per hour.

While much attention was focused on “cut-through” traffic, cut-through, which is defined in the study as being 66% of the traffic, doesn’t differentiate between residents and people who drive straight through the City.

In other words, residents who travel through the southwest to businesses, schools, Roxbury Park, or to work – are all deemed as “cut-throughs.”

“We are a City of 35,000 residents,” said City Councilmember Lili Bosse.

“We swell to 150,000 during the day. Because of where we are on the map… reality is reality. No matter what we do… we are in the middle of other cities.” She asked Kunz, Brown, Goldman and the Traffic and Parking Commission if they had considered that fact.

One resident who opposed the plan pointed out that with all the right turn restrictions on Olympic and the left turn restriction on Moreno, he would have to travel blocks out

of his way to arrive at home on Durant during peak traffic hours. He would have trouble reaching his garage through the alley.

Bosse, who did a drive through in her SUV, parodying traffic circles and minding turnrestrictions, confirmed that she would have difficulty navigating the circles without entering pedestrian spaces and that the routes forced drivers to take long, fruitless courses to their destinations. “A lot of those multifamily homes have their parking in the alley… in order to park in your neighborhood you have to make a left… I don’t think it’s a doable situation for people who live there,” she said.

Kunz admitted that the resident would have had approximately a nine-block detour to route toward home during peak traffic hours.

In his power point presentation, Goldman showed photos of three apparently singlecar accidents that occurred in the southwest area over the past month. Councilmember Julian Gold inquired if there was any indication that the driver was under the influence.

That was unknown, reducing the credibility of a connection between the traffic accidents and the southwest traffic.

“Nothing is going to reduce speed but enforcement – except speed bumps,” said Gold “I don’t think we are going to stop the speed problem with anything we discussed tonight.”

The SWHOA outright rejected speed bumps.

During peak traffic times, 30-70 vehicles per hour made right turns from Olympic on each block, according to a study done in 2016, said Brown. But no modeling was done to determine the impact of those turns on adjacent streets with the right-turn restrictions in place on Olympic in the southwest.

Under questioning by City Councilmember Bosse, it was revealed that each traffic circle would also slow Beverly Hills Fire Department response time by 5-7 seconds, and more when cars were present in the intersection, a minimum of 40

Ken Goldman, residents of the area have long sought mitigation.

Problems, they say, have grown worse in recent years.

It is unclear if traffic in the southwest is any better or worse than traffic throughout the rest of Beverly Hills. What is clear is that Goldman has led a 30-year battle to stop it.

One resident, speaking in opposition of the plan, posed a distinction between what he referred to as a “problem” vs. a “conundrum.” A problem, he said, is solvable. Maybe the traffic is not.

In his presentation, Goldman pointed out that 41 years ago, he led the area to be the first in the City to obtain permit parking. He called the permit program “overwhelmingly successful,” and said that other areas of Beverly Hills had sought to replicate it.

However, while that first permit program may have solved the problem on his own street, the decades since have made it very clear that block by block, permitted parking pushes the parking issue from one street to the next one that is unpermitted.

Like permitted parking, the proposed plan pushes the traffic elsewhere. The study did not look at the impacts on the adjacent streets. “It was too small of a scale to test,” said Beverly Hills Deputy Director of Transportation Aaron Kunz.

They planned to do testing before and after the pilot devices were installed, he said.

However, it appears that the notification process did not directly invite the school district, families of students at Beverly Hills High School, or any of the residents that would most likely be affected by the traffic restrictions who live on the adjacent streets.

Arguably, while SWHOA residents would enjoy life without traffic during peak traffic hours, people trying to get to or from the high school or to their homes in the multi-family dwellings on streets surrounding the high school, and those people on Spalding and Canon

The deli according to sources, will eventually move to the former Wolfgang Steakhouse location on Canon Drive, although there is no date set for the move. seconds.

It was also clearer, under questioning, that Beverly Hills High School, the Good Shepherd School and the BHUSD were only marginally informed. They were not made part of the discussion. It is unclear what the impact of the BHUSD reconfiguration might have been on the proposed plan.

Though studies conducted

by Fehr & Peers, the City’s traffic consultant, did not include a study of where the traffic would go, residents on adjacent streets had a lot to say about it.

Residents from Spalding, Canon, Moreno, Beverly and as far as Crescent Drive opposed the project. Many of the speakers pointed out that some of their streets were mostly multifamily dwellings, and that the homeowners seemed to have no trouble pushing the traffic onto their streets.

Residents who spoke in public comment about the project included 28 opponents and 14 supporters, most identified themselves as members of the SWHOA Board.

A survey conducted by the City that received 218 responses had 49% in support. Of the respondents, 73% were in the study area (the southwest) and 29% were opposed. That survey, confirmed Kunz, was only sent to residents within the southwest – from Beverly Drive west, keeping the pilot program “under the radar” of the average Beverly Hills resident.

By the time the plan reached the City Council Tuesday, there were an additional 83 correspondences, with only 11 in support.

“I am frightened by unintended consequences,” said Councilmember Wunderlich.

Finally, as the clock passed the midnight hour, councilmembers agreed to defer any traffic-calming in the southwest until the release of the revised Complete Streets plan.

The draft Complete Streets plan released last month was sent back with extensive comments by the City Council and the public, and is expected to return to the City Council in July.

ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M E N T Hershey Felder’s Latest ‘Great Composers’ Show Is ‘Love Letter’ To Debussy, Paris

By Steve Simmons Hershey Felder is bringing his most personal show, Hershey Felder: A Paris Love Story to The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts’ Bram Goldsmith Theater.

Opening today and running through Sunday, June 9, the show weaves together Felder’s personal story, a biography of composer Claude Debussy and the connection between the two.

“Debussy was one of the first classical composers I discovered,” says Felder. ”I was swept away by the color and sound. It was miraculous to me and something to pursue.”

The French “Impressionist composer” (he hated the word Felder reveals) was also Felder’s mother’s favorite. He played the records incessantly and “she loved the way I played Clair de Lune.”

Felder uses the music and “City of Lights” to tell his growing up story of how he dealt with his mother’s illness. It has him at age 13 visiting her in the hospital, and her death six years later at 35.

At 19, Felder honored their dream of visiting Paris and discovering Debussy’s beloved city to understand him and his circumstances. The young Felder,

through Debussy’s narrative, traces the composer’s footsteps, walking bridges over the Seine and visiting Debussy’s La Rue Frosch flat.

“Because I live with these pieces so long,” says Felder of his many composer recreations, “and I’m a designer by training, I know what will work and what to do,” Felder says.

Felder’s set design features two abutting Parisian bridges and gaslights, brought to life with projections of Paris scenes, by lighting and projection designer Christopher Ash. “This show is personal and intimate and shocking for some people since it’s not what they expect from my shows,” says Felder. “But a lot of people have told me it’s quite moving and they can relate to the death of a mother.”

The young Felder visits the five-pointed Point Zero, near Notre Dame Cathedral on March 25, the day of Debussy’s death as a way of celebrating his mother’s memory.

Felder’s story ends and Debussy’s takes over as Felder brings to life a visionary who he says, “proclaimed nature his religion and romance his milieu.“ Felder describes a man seduced by a benefactor at age

17, mentions other romances and two women who tried to shoot themselves over him. The love of his life though, was his daughter, Chou Chou.

Criticizing Wagner, Debussy says his deepest artistic belief and credo was “music must be beautiful to the ear.”

“He was inspired by the idea of engaging with nature and feelings as opposed to just painting pretty pieces in sound,”

33rd Israel Film Festival In Los Angeles Sponsor Luncheon To Honor Producer Roger Corman, Keshet Media Group CEO Avi Nir The Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles, the largest showcase of Israeli films in the U.S., is launching its 33rd edition hosting a S p o n s o r Luncheon honoring the producer Roger Roger Corman Corman and Keshet Media Group’s Avi Nir, Thursday, June 13 at The Beverly Hilton.

Nir, the CEO of Keshet Media Group, the largest television broadcasting operator in Israel and a global content, distribution and production force, has been named the recipient of the 2019 IFF Visionary Award.

Corman, the legendary film producer and director, will receive the 2019 IFF Lifetime Achievement Award.

“We are so proud to honor two distinguished individuals, who made a difference in the world of film and TV in the U.S., in Israel and around the world,“ said Meir Fenigstein, festival founderexecutive director. “We also recognize our amazing sponsors who, thanks to their support, we can promote the best of Israeli cinema and culture in America.”

Nir, the CEO of Keshet Media Group and an executive producer (Homeland, The A Word, Tyrant), has built Israel's dominant broadcaster into a major global TV, film and digital media force.

Known for its innovative approach to

both business and content, including many critical and popular hits, Keshet has become an overachiever in the US with Keshet Studios landing as the top non-major independent studio this pilot Avi Nir season following two series orders at NBC (Lincoln) and ABC (The Baker And The Beauty), as well as projects with HBO, Apple, Netflix and others.

For the past 60 years, producer and director Roger Corman has been a trailblazer. The “Godfather of Independent Film,” he is best known for his guerrillastyle filmmaking for more than 400 pictures that have tackled a variety of genres.

Notable credits include Little Shop Of Horrors, The Wild Angels, The Pit And The Pendulum, Death Race 2000, House Of Usher and Rock ‘n’ Roll High School.

For 33 years, the festival has presented more than 1,000 feature films, documentaries, TV dramas and short films to close to one million filmgoers and brought hundreds of Israeli filmmakers to the U.S. The 33rd Israel Film Festival will take place Nov. 12-26.

says Felder. “He was interested in the interaction, of not just touching something soft, but what it felt like to touch something soft. It’s a complicated thing.”

Debussy was influenced by painters J.M.W. Turner and James McNeil Whistler and symbolist poets (Verlaine, Mallarmé, Maeterlinck and Rimbaud).

He may have met them at salons, Felder acknowledges, but he was “grouchy and socially awkward.” Felder found it hard to rationalize the character he discovered in his extensive research with the beauty of Debussy’s music. “He is able to connect on such a human level.”

Choosing pieces to include in his shows is the worst aspect.

“You have to chose judiciously pieces that relate to the story itself. And you have to have Clair de lune.”

So there’s the sweeping La mer and l’après-midi d’un faune, “which experts agree is where modern music began,” says Felder. “He used disparate harmonies and colors as a method of expression.

“Up until Debussy there was a set of rules,” says Felder, “Wagner pushed in one direction and Chopin in another, but

it was Debussy who broke the rules that had held music back.”

Hershey Felder: A Paris Love Story continues his “Great Composer Series” of one-man shows, which have included George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Irving Berlin, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Felder planned to end the series with Hershey Felder: Beethoven last year, but there was too much of an outcry. “A lot of theaters where I do the shows said, ‘what do you mean you’re not coming next season?.’”

Audiences like the characters, said Felder, who finds the stories fascinating and “nobody’s picked up the mantle,” so he has this show and one on Sergei Rachmaninoff on deck.

“People know the pieces, but they’re not sure why, so this plays into audiences thirst for knowledge to understand what led to the creation of this beautiful music.”

Tickets, ranging from $35$105 are available by calling 310-746-4000, online at The Wallis.org/Debussy or at the box office, 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills.

Peninsula Debuts Redesigned Spa With New Treatments

RECOGNIZING NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK–The Beverly Hills City Council formally recognized the City’s public works employees Tuesday for the vitally important work they do to maintain the City’s infrastructure and facilities, and provide services that are critical to the community, including sanitation, water treatment, transportation, public buildings and spaces, and more.

Shakespeare Center Of Los Angeles Presents Love’s Labour’s Lost at the Municipal Gallery

By Victoria Talbot Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles will present a staged reading of the comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost in the Municipal Gallery at 7 p.m. on May 29.

The event is free to residents and $15 for non-residents. Space is very limited and seating will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Reservations are encouraged.

Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of the earlier comedies of Shakespeare, and it is not wellknown.

The play follows Ferdinand, King of Navarre, and his three noble companions, who have foresworn an oath not to give in to the company of women while they devote themselves to three years of study and fasting. The king declares women should not come within a mile of the court.

However, the Princess of France and her ladies arrive, and the King immediately falls in love, as do his lords with the Ladies.

The comedy ensues with the Spanish swains and country maidens; love letters are delivered to the wrong lovers, disguises go awry, and the love-struck characters recite really bad poetry.

One of Shakespeare’s more obscure plays, it has nevertheless, become ever more popular in recent years.

The Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles produces world-class Shakespeare-inspired plays and best-practices in arts education and awardwinning arts-based workforce development programs that target under-served youths and veterans. Since their first Summer Festival performance of Twelfth Night in Pershing Square attract-

artists merge over dance and photography, spontaneously producing images that are then shared on Instagram and other online platforms.

With the use of social media, the images are shared widely. That means, “more recognition for the art form, pairing dance, with what might be familiar spaces – and the creative spirit,” said Pynoos.

ed a loyal audience of homeless people eager to contribute and participate, the group has increasingly provided outreach programs and services to vulnerable communities.

Programs that target youth development, employment and empowerment for kids aged 15-21 living at the poverty threshold offer fulltime employment for seven weeks to produce and perform Shakespeare adaptations. A writing program hires youths to create original poetry inspired by Shakespeare after school and on weekends, culminating in live performances.

In another program, a partnership with Santa Monica College, “unemployable” veterans living outside the workforce are hired as part of a paid on-the-job training and transitional employment initiative through the Veterans in Art Employment program, enabling students to receive career development and academic credit.

These are only a fraction of the programs that the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles provides to the community. For more information visit www.shakespearecenter.org.

This event is recommended for children 12 years and older.

It is a 90-minute staged reading without intermission. Parking is available in the Civic Center parking structure adjacent to the Library on Rexford Drive. For reservations, visit www.beverlyhills.org/rec and for more information, call 310-285-6850.

American Friends noted: “With the World’s Jewish Museum, we aim to create a world-class experience that celebrates our contributions and the impact that we have had on the world throughout the ages. We hope that this museum will inspire the next generation to embrace its Jewish identity.”

For event information and sponsorship packages, email: judy@lpaevents .com or call 310-201-5033, ext. 2.

This month, the City Council amended the Municipal Code to expand the City’s Fine Arts Commission to become the Arts and Culture Commission, reflecting a broadening focus.

The images will be on display at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts through the month of June, and on display in the Municipal Gallery at City Hall and the Beverly Hills Public Library.

SHARE, Inc. did it again... Its annual “Boomtown Gala” celebrated the group’s 66 years of philanthropy that had its audience rockin’ last Sunday in The Beverly Hilton as they saluted a night on Broadway. Each year when I receive the invitation, I get out my dressy Western attire loaded with turquoise accessories and prepare for what I know will be a fabulous evening...and it certainly was, in fact one of the best ever!

After mozying into the ballroom, we were welcomed by Corinna Tsopei Fields, president of SHARE, who thanked us for supporting the charities dear to their hearts. She then introduced Mitzi Gaynor to present the Shining Star Award to Beverly Hills’ philanthropist Joni Berry, one of the founders of SHARE. If you know Mitzi, her sense of humor and one-liners have you laughing... She

didn’t disappoint and lovingly introduced her good pal Joni, who gave a warm speech about how much being a member has always meant to her.

And then the music began...

Some of Broadway shows came to life as the SHARE ladies performed numbers from Guys & Dolls, Something Rotten, and Chicago.

Those performing these great dance numbers included Barbara Aaron, Neile Adams McQueen, Terry Baldwin, G. Beverly Berg- mann, Aphrodite Camello, Samantha Faulkner, Ellen Feder, Nancy Gregory, Roberta Haft, Jane Jelenko, Niki Dantine Kuelpman, Natalie Lander, Adele Langdon, Bonnie Lythgoe, Dana Grilikhes Nassi, Dolores Nemiro, Hannah Noval, Esther Rosenfield, Sasha Salinger, inda Schlesinger, Maxine Smith, Katya Sussman, and Christine Wallace.

In addition to the ladies who danced including VP September Sarno, many were on the committees who helped put this event together, I must also mention VP Diane Forester, Mandie Rush, Joanna Carson, Laura Stone, and Joan Rush.

We were also entertained by The Midtown Men... stars from the original Broadway cast of the smash musical Jersey Boys, which brought to life the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons... They were incredible... hearing their renditions of the iconic hits of the 1960’s, I and many in the audience were back in time singing the songs we loved in our youth.

Photo by Vince Bucci Philanthropist Mercedes Javid introduced the “no nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is” Leakes, stating she was selected to receive the award based on “what lies within – her heart, her humanity.”

Leakes got personal as she accepted her award: “When my husband Gregg was diagnosed with cancer, we were heartbroken. Besides being a wife and mother, I was now thrust into the most challenging role of my life – being a caretaker, but we were so lucky. Because of early detection, our incredible doctors, and the resources provided to us by organizations such as the ABCs and the John Wayne Cancer Institute, Gregg rang the bell celebrating the end of his chemo. It is because of people like you who dedicate their lives to raising money and awareness that we have a chance in this fight against cancer.”

The ABCs’ (www.abcjw.com) aim is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast and prostate cancer by providing funding for clinical innovation and research through its partnership with the JWCI. Since 1990, the group has raised $15 million for the cause. ******

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, towit: $23,935,363.14 (Estimated) Accrued interest and additional

advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may visit the website below using the file number assigned to this case.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

FOUND DOG

(Continued from page 1)

upon examination, the dog did not have a tag. So, when a BHPD patrol officer passed, Landgreen flagged him down.

The officer attempted to scan the dog for a chip. The initial check revealed no chip.

Landgreen was in a conundrum.

The dog was docile and obedient. He showed no fear and easily got into the back of his car.

Landgreen drove through the neighborhood to see if he could spot someone who might have lost a dog. He spoke to this reporter, out walking her own dog.

Without any solid leads, Landgreen took him home to pick up the search the following morning.

On Sunday, the Courier sent out an eblast with a photo and a description. “Found dog: Saturday evening, a Husky was found in Southeast Beverly Hills. He may also be a Samoyed. It is a male, with one brown eye and one blue eye.

He was wearing a metal collar and had a slender black leash attached to his collar, as if he was on a walk and somehow escaped. This dog is very calm and well-behaved. He was found on the corner of Almont and Gregory Drives. Police scanned the dog for a chip and found none. He also had no

tags on his collar. If this is your dog, or you know whose dog it is, please call Bryan.”

On Sunday, Landgreen returned with Snowball and canvassed the neighborhood to see if anyone knew the dog or the owner. Signs were posted.

He also posted a link to the Courier eblast on his Facebook page.

Meanwhile, owner Don Tillung placed an ad on Facebook, looking for his dog, that went out to users within a 40-mile radius of his home. He knew the dog was capable of “traveling.”

Snowball “likes to explore,” said Tillung, in a bit of an understatement. He often briefly escapes and returns after a quick jaunt in the neighborhood, re-entering the property when the gates open behind Tillung’s vehicles.

This time, however, a family member had been caring for his pack of four dogs while he was away. Tillung thinks he may have been spooked when an unexpected person exited the vehicle.

Snowball is definitely an independently-minded sled dog, though the exact breed is up for debate. (We think he is either a Samoyed or a Yakuitian Laika). He chewed through his leash and took off.

Tillung’s search turned up a dog that looked a lot like Snowball. But Snowball’s most distinctive feature is that one of

his eyes is blue and the other one is brown. The dog had two blue eyes.

For the next six days, Snowball’s whereabouts are unknown. It wasn’t until he arrived in Beverly Hills and was found by Landgreen that the story picked up again for Snowball.

Meanwhile, Tillung kept looking for his dog.

Then, while searching the Internet for lost Huskies, he found a link to the Courier eblast, which identified the dog as a Husky or Samoyed.

This time, with the bi-colored eyes and the chewedthrough leash, he knew it was his dog.

“I didn’t think we’d get him back,” said Tillung, who thought the dog may have been found by someone who decided to keep him. “He’s super chill. He’s a great dog.”

Snowball has a pack of survivors at home: all four of Tillung’s dogs are rescue dogs.

But Snowball has a very special job in the Tillung family.

Snowball is an emotional support dog for one of Tillung’s children.

Now, Snowball is on the way to the groomer, said Tillung. He’s got to get back to work.

He’s ready to assume his most important role, being that fluffy, calm pillow for his boy.

Welcome home, Snowball.

KCET Announces 20th Annual Short Competition For Student Filmmakers

By Victoria Talbot KCET’s Fine Cut Festival of Films kicked off this week with the short film competition for Southern California’s student filmmakers.

Student filmmakers who are currently enrolled in Southern California film schools can submit short films in the categories of Documentary, Animation and Narrative through June 7, 2019 for consideration to become part of the Fine Cut Festival of Films.

Films must be 25 minutes or less and the winning sub-

missions will be included in a series of half-hour broadcast episodes airing and streaming on KCET and KCET.org/finecut this fall.

Winners will also be awarded a prize package. One of the three will be selected as the Jack Larson Southern California Filmmaker Award, honoring Fine Cut founder Jack Larson’s commitment to fostering new generations of filmmakers.

Top films will be evaluated by a carefully selected panel of judges.

Larson was an American

actor, screenwriter and producer best known for his portrayal of Jimmy Olsen in the 1952-58 series Adventures Of Superman. He approached KCET with a vision of creating a student film series that would provide students a much-needed opportunity to have their short films broadcast on television, knowing how difficult it is to achieve visibility for emerging talent.

The program remains a flagship KCET program today.

For more information or to submit films, visit FilmFreeway.com.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 24). This year is marked by spontaneity. Friends won't want to do anything without you, and some of your most interesting life events will come out of spurof-the-moment requests. Also notable: a debt finally gets paid; you'll get a chance to use your high school training; extended family or old friends will act as business allies. Leo and Libra adore you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you have to convince someone of your love, it might mean you're not showing them love in the preferred way they like to receive it. Once you find the right way, it takes a lot less energy to delight a person.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Love's language is unique to all who speak it. Every relationship has its own kind of culture.

Your contribution to the relationship is only a part of this. If one person is too dominant, the relationship's potential is diminished.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As a fire sign, you've an innate understanding of passion's nature. It is your nature, too. Like a fire, passion needs to be oxygenated and fueled in order to burn.

And you need inspiration in order to be your best self.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Most of the tasks you execute today have to do with skills you've picked up through experience. You learn best by doing. But there's something on the horizon that's going to happen more smoothly if you get a little formal training.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's true that many social contracts are unspoken, but try not to take inferences too seriously right now. For instance, one date doesn't obligate you to anyone.

Go out and try new things with new people just to see what happens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to know if a person feels as you do, but questions can't get to the truth. Maybe it's impossible to verify. Love takes trust, and trust happens when you can consistently and accurately predict a person's behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because most people believe a thing doesn't make it true. But when total strangers who are uninformed and unbiased about the situation weigh in, that opinion should have more credence in your poll.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Seeking love is seldom the way to find it. Creating beautiful experiences for yourself and others is a far more predictable route to your heart's fulfillment and one that's worked for you time and again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Now is the day to consider what present you'll bring to an upcoming event. If you wait, your ideas will be less interesting and more motivated by what you can get in time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You're probably not even aware of who's thinking of you now and considering you for a role. You don't have to prove you're right for the position; just prove you're awesome at the one you already have ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). When a rider pedals backward on a 10-speed bicycle, the feet rotate but the wheels don't engage.

No momentum is created. Thinking against yourself has the same effect. It can't take you very far.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). People sometimes have to lose a thing to understand and appreciate fully what it is. So, don't get too upset by the minor ups and downs of people and possessions flowing through your life. It's all about learning.
