If it’s for the City of Beverly Hills’ 100th birthday, apparently a lot.

Try $7.8 million.

Cultural Heritage Commission To Study 724 N. Camden Drive As Potential Local Landmark

By Matt Lopez One of Beverly Hills’ earliest “ready cut” homes may be next in line for local landmark designation.

At its meeting on Wednesday, the Beverly Hills Cultural Heritage Commission moved ahead unanimously to initiate nomination proceedings for the home at 724 N. Camden Dr. for inclusion onto the Local Register of Historic Properties.

What that means, essentially, is that the property will return to the commission soon with a thorough historic analysis for the commission’s review.

Mirisch Calls For Fiscal Responsibility In Chamber Of Commerce Economic Development Speech

Mayor John Mirisch

By Laura Coleman Greater fiscal responsibility through pension reform and advancing a connected business-resident relationship were at the core of Mayor John Mirisch’s keynote speech to the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development Council on Wednesday at Spago.

“It is extremely important our local government stay fiscally healthy,” he said, emphasizing that the surest way to achieve that is by reforming

the City’s unfunded liability through pension reform. “Our City treats the residents like ATMs.” With 70 percent of the City’s budget–70 percent of which is earned through business revenue–going toward salaries and benefits, Mirisch said a forthcoming City-commissioned comparative study on public-versus-private salaries and pensions could serve as a change agent to free up funds to enhance the City.

Karen Christiansen Wins Appeal, Criminal Charges Reversed

By Matt Lopez The Second District California Court of Appeals last Friday reversed the criminal conviction of former Beverly Hills Unified School District consultant Karen Christiansen and ordered all criminal charges against her dismissed. Christiansen was convicted by a jury

of violating a California criminal statute that prohibits public officials from entering into contracts that benefit them personally. Christiansen was charged with arranging her own contract that would have paid her millions of dollars from Measure E bond funds. (see ‘CHRISTIANSEN’ page 25)

Beverly Hills PTA Council Installs New Leaders For Next Year

By Laura Coleman The continued success of Beverly Hills’ children stood at the forefront of last week’s Beverly Hills PTA Council Installation breakfast held at The Mark on Friday to celebrate the new crop of PTA leaders who will take the helm of school support for the 2013/14 year.

With roughly $2 million in annual funds raised by the dis-

trict’s Parent Teacher Associations, according to newly re-installed PTA Council Executive Board President Jennifer Terrell-Schwartz, the school district’s powerhouse fundraising arms are clearly comprised of hard-working, dedicated individuals. But so too are the parents involved relentlessly committed, passionate individuals (see ‘PTA,’ page 26)

Bracelets For Charity: Two Young Beverly Hills Entrepreneurs Give Back Through ‘Bead Relief’

By Matt Lopez It started rather simply – Greg Elias’ eye caught the bright-colored bracelet of friend and co-worker John Gornik and couldn’t take his

eyes off it.

That was last November, and set the wheels in motion on a plan that led to Gornik and Elias to open Bead Relief in April, a grassroots local or-

ganization which makes and sells bracelets, donating a portion of the proceeds to various non-profit charities.

Inside Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s Intimate Piano Performance In Beverly Hills

MUSICAL POLITICS–Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice (center) with Beverly Hills residents Mary Hart and Burt Sugarman.

By Laura Coleman Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice treated Beverly Hills residents to an intimate piano performance last Thursday to raise funds for Classics for Kids. The non-profit foundation provides matching grants to bring music programs and string instruments to at-risk youth around the country, “opening the doors of classical

music to them,” Classics for Kids founder Mike Reynolds explained.

“The study of music is not, to my mind, an extracurricular activity,” Rice said. “It’s at the core of educating our children broadly, giving them the confidence to take on difficult challenges and the opportunity to gain a talent that can be with them for a life(see ‘RICE’ page 25)

BHFA’s 21st Annual Backdraft Ball To Heat Up The Beverly Hilton Tuesday

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hilton is getting ready to host one of the hottest parties of the year–June 11’s 21st annual Backdraft Ball.

The annual event benefits the Beverly Hills Firefighters Association’s medical trust fund, which provides insurance to retired firefighters over the age of 65.

A silent auction begins at 6 p.m.

with dinner and dancing at 7:30 p.m. in the hotel’s International Ballroom.

Emmy-winner Brad Garrett will serve as the evening’s host and George Bugatti, star of New York’s The Wonderful Wizard Of Song will provide the entertainment.

Contact Beth at FTA Events at 310288-1755 for ticket information.

B R O A D W AY — Program director Jenny Gordon rehearses with Beverly Hills children for the 10th annual “Taste of Broadway” children’s musical.

The shows will be June 10 and 11 at the Salter Family Theater at Beverly Hills High School.

Broadway Comes To Beverly Hills For 10th Annual ‘Taste Of Broadway’ Musical

By Matt Lopez Jenny Gordon grew up in Beverly Hills, but when she returned after college, she noticed a much different City than the one she left.

“Unfortunately, the arts were not as prevalent as they used to be,” Gordon told The Courier.

Gordon set out to change that a decade ago, and next week she will celebrate the 10th anniversary of her “Taste of Broadway” children’s musical theater program.

This year’s Taste of Broadway shows will be Monday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Salter Family Theater at Beverly Hills High School. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Gordon picks upwards of 20 songs from different musicals to coordinate with the show’s overall theme. She said

her favorite part of the production is that each child has a chance to shine during the performance.

“Every child has a chance to be featured. They have their own narration for them to shine. It’s not like a lead and a chorus and everyone else is in the back,” Gordon said. “Everyone is included.”

This year’s final performance will be centered around a special look back at the past decade’s sterling “Taste of Broadway” performances.

Gordon’s first class of “Taste of Broadway” performers, who were fourth graders at the time and are now college juniors, are flying in to take part in the performance.

“It made me very humble to know I’ve had this kind of impact.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Parking Authority of the City of Beverly Hills, at its regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California, will hold a public hearing to consider adoption of: A RESOLUTION OF THE PARKING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE OF PARKING FACILITY RATES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2013/2014.

The Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California, will hold a public hearing to consider adoption of:

The proposed resolution will increase facility charges that are charged to the public for the Parking Facility Rates set forth in the schedule for fiscal year 2013/2014.

The proposed resolution will increase the taxes, fees, and service charges that are charged to the public for the various activities and services as set forth in the schedule for fiscal year 2013/2014. Many of the fees and charges would be adjusted to obtain full-cost recovery. In some cases fees were adjusted by 2.1% based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for November 2012 to reflect the increase in the City’s costs. In other cases, the fees were adjusted to reflect a change in service level, or more equitable distribution of costs, rather than by the CPI. The fees would become effective on July 1, 2013.

Copies of the proposed Resolution and the Rate Schedule are available for review or purchase in the Office of the City Clerk, Room 290, 455 N. Rexford Drive, and in the Finance Department, 3rd Floor, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard.

CENTENNIAL (Continued from page 1)

cilmember Nancy Krasne quipped.

City staff presented the council with a status update on Centennial planning for a yearlong celebration that would cost around $7.8 million, about $2.2 million over budget.

One of the biggest issues centered around a proposed Centennial “pop-up” retail store at 9400 Santa Monica Blvd., which would operate for 16 months beginning in September 2013 and sell Beverly Hills Centennial-themed goods. Under the best case scenario presented by staff, the store would operate at a loss of $35,890. Under a worst-case scenario, that number would

be $175,000.

“I think I need some convincing on the fact that this is a good business deal,” Councilmember Julian Gold said.

Krasne noted that she didn’t believe current Beverly Hills-branded marketing items have been selling well, which Deputy City Manager Cheryl Friedling echoed.

“I don’t have the exact numbers, but could get and circulate them,” Friedling said.

“But our expectations have not been realized through branding and licensing.”

Krasne suggested, if a retail store is going to be done, place it in the first-floor “lunch room” at City Hall, which would come at no cost to the City, and allow shoppers to visit City Hall when going to the store.

The retail store proposal came from work with consultant Andy Bailen of 3Pe consulting, who has a successful track record with “pop-up” stores.

Part of the proposal that caught Vice Mayor Lili Bosse’s eye was paying $25 per hour for a Centennial retail store employee.

“I think that’s out of whack, it’s irresponsible for us to hire at that level for $25 an hour,” Bosse said.

The plan included funding proposals from several partner organizations, including the Conference and Visitors Bureau, Chamber of Commerce and Rodeo Drive Committee.

All three are planned to speak before the City Council until its June 18 meeting.

“The (Rodeo Drive Committee) didn’t even know they were

BEVERLY HILLS being talked about, and the CVB didn’t feel prepared,” Bosse said.

“I think this process is being done backward. It’s hard for us to make any decisions without really seeing the big picture. Our partners, the CVB, Rodeo Drive Committee, need to know from the get-go how much money we have in the (Transient Occupancy Tax) fund.”

“They should have been presenting to us first,” Bosse added. “The way this has been done, it’s impossible in a very meaningful way to allocate money.”

Councilmember Willie Brien thanked Gearys/Rolex for stepping up as the first major Centennial sponsor, but wondered why there appeared to be no other outside funding coming in to assist the City in its Centennial celebration.

“Are we doing this correctly? I’m a little bit at a loss by how we’re doing this and the process,” Brien said. “We thought we would have $1 million in national sponsors, then go local, but I’m not seeing it and it makes me nervous. To date we have one key sponsor, a very generous sponsor. But we seem to have very little interest from national, regional and local business.”

“My concern is that everyone presents $7 million worth of projects, but we have $5 million in the TOT, so we have to decide if we’re going to subsidize $2 million out of the general fund out cut it back and I’m not sure how we do that here.”

The council will wait to hear funding proposals from its various partnering groups on June 18 before moving forward with any financial decisions.

HOTELS (Continued from page 1)

was helping load over 250 large boxes filled with donations from local hotels and travel agents that would directly help victims of this month’s natural disaster.

“I was just watching on TV on Monday night after the first tornadoes hit, just watching what people were going through, and to just wake up one day and have a house and then you have nothing,” Well told The Courier. “I thought, ‘What can I do to help out?’”

Soon, Beverly Hills Hotels were pitching in to donate everything from sheets to towels to robes, blankets and toiletries. Among the hotels that contributed, Well cited: the Beverly Hills Hotel, Luxe Rodeo Drive, Mr. C Beverly Hills, Montage Beverly Hills, W Westwood, the Four Seasons, the Beverly Hilton and L'Ermitage.

“It’s just been a total group effort,” he said, noting the 100 boxes that Beverly Hills Transfer and Storage contributed the free shipping services provided

by Mallory Group. “It’s just reaching out to people in our area, and everyone wanted to chip in.”

The Beverly Hills Speedway

By Robert S. Anderson Special to The Courier The Beverly Hills Speedway, as it was known, was considered “the best of the best.” The racetrack was bordered on the east by Beverly Drive and on the west by the current location of Beverly Hills High School, the north

by Wilshire and south by Olympic.

Twelve men opened the speedway after Jay Danziger decided to build it. A meeting was held at the L.A. Athletic Club that included the likes of Cecil B. Demille, Jesse Lasky, Al Forkner, Art Beck, Jack Deveny, Cliff Durant (the millionaire son of the president of General Motors) and Sil Spaulding.

Danziger announced: “Now listen gentlemen, I’ve got 200 acres for $200,000, and want to build a speedway. We are going to raise $200,000 while we sit at this

table. We have no idea what this is going to cost, but every assessment from here on out will be in proportion to what you subscribe to the first $200,000.”

He then turned to Sil Spaulding and said: “You’re going to take $40,000, ”and the rest subscribed just like that.

(It actually cost $900,000). On a big race this group would make $50,000 to $75,000.

During it’s relatively short life of four years this racetrack brought upwards of a 60-70,000 spectators to a single race giving our community huge national exposure.

The Los Angeles Speedway as it was originally known, began construction in late 1919 with surveying and grading. The rush was on to complete the track for its inaugural race of 250 miles which was to be on Feb. 22, 1920 (George Washington’s

Birthday) this opening was delayed by rain till Feb. 28.

It had been allotted two dates on the international calendar in 1920 by the American Automobile Association–Thanksgiving and Washington’s Birthday.

The speedway was burned down once and rumor had it that Ascot Raceway was behind it. Speculation was that the franchise was contingent upon those dates being kept and, if they weren’t, then Ascot had a chance of getting the franchise away from Beverly Hills.

The local track not only opened and closed the racing season, it had the longest and fastest races. (More than 116 MPH) The racetrack was 1-1/4 miles constructed with more than 7 million board feet of 2x4s.

The Beverly Hills Speedway was to be built with the best of every possible amenity including what today would be considered luxury sky boxes with complete liv-

As Beverly Hills approaches the 2014 celebration of the Centennial since its 1914 incorporation as a City, this is the fourth in an ongoing series of articles by historian Robbie Anderson which originally appeared in The Courier in the summer of 2005. These will run on a frequent basis.

ing room sets-ups (which included furniture) and decorated with living flowers and plants on the South side of the track.

There were seven access tunnels with three leading to the 5-acre parking area in the infield and four for pedestrians only.

The 50-foot wide track with 48-degree banked curves allowed the possibility of 4 cars racing side by side.

This was quite a site for the spectators but very dangerous for the drivers and their mechanics who rode with them in the cars. This had resulted in numerous deaths the worst of which was on the second 250-mile race of the 1920 Thanksgiving Day Race in which three drivers died in front of a crowd of more than 60,000.

Cost to attend was $4-5 in the covered stand; $3 for unreserved seats, which included parking; and $2 for general admission.

Alas, an increase in property values, not a lack of at-

tendance, was the cause for the demise of the track.

The lumber, fencing and hardware were sold to a junk man for $25,000 to have it removed to make way for subdividing for home sites.

HOW DO Y O U F E E L ?

UCLA Scientists Isolate Stress-

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

CHLA Team Travels To Jordan To Help Children With Deformities

Resistant Stem Cells In Fat Tissue Researchers from UCLA’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology have isolated a new population of primitive, stressresistant human pluripotent stem cells easily derived from fat tissue able to differentiate into virtually every cell type in the human body without genetic modification.

The cells, called Multi-lineage Stress-Enduring (Muse-AT) stem cells from fat, or adipose, tissue, were discovered by “scientific accident” when a piece of equipment failed in the lab, killing all the stem cells in the experiment except for the MuseAT ones. The research team further discovered that not only are Muse-AT cells able to survive severe stress, they may even be activated by it, said study senior author Gregorio Chazenbalk, an associate researcher with UCLA Obstetrics and Gynecology.

These pluripotent cells, iso-

lated from fat tissue removed during liposuction, expressed many embryonic stem cell markers and were able to differentiate into muscle, bone, fat, cardiac, neuronal and liver cells. An examination of genetic characteristics confirmed their specialized functions, as well as a capacity to regenerate tissue when transplanted back into the body following their “awakening.”

“This population of cells lies dormant in the fat tissue until subjected to very harsh conditions. These cells can survive in conditions in which usually only cancer cells can live,” Chazenbalk said. “Upon further investigation and clinical trials, these cells could prove a revolutionary treatment option for numerous diseases, including heart disease, stroke and for tissue damage and neural regeneration.”

Tips For Jumping Into The World Of Online Dating Q. Dear Dr. Fran, I am 48 and recently divorced with no children. My friends are encouraging me to try online dating. I have never done it and am nervous and skeptical. What are your thoughts about online dating and how should I approach it?

Linda W. A. Dear Linda, I think online dating is here to stay for awhile.

Although not clairvoyant, I suspect sometime in the next decade or two people will return to the old-fashioned style of meeting through introductions (blind dates) within their communities and will court. I hope this happens. There is something to be valued in archaic ways of connecting.

Today, there is much less negative stigma for singles who use dating sites. People used to think of those who used dating sites as “hard-up” and desperate. Not anymore.

I think something is lost in the slow motion tempo of reallife dating. Online dating is speedy. People can whiz through a person’s profile and bio. Whoosh, and onto the next! No time is taken to really get to know someone. It takes time to get to know a person.

Today, people just don’t want to invest the time.

There are indeed risks in online dating. For example, I treat a number of married men who have children, yet they are

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions on these dating sites pitching themselves as single men. I also treat several single women who are on these sites trying to find a nice guy.

Occasionally, they mention the name of someone they are meeting who I personally have treated in my practice or actually gone out with myself.

Losers....damaged goods.

These guys are like bruised fruit in the grocery store. They’re mixed in with the regulars, but you have to feel them out to see they are injured souls. I don’t mean to sound judgmental or over-categorizing. It is simply a monumental task finding a good fit–the right match.

Some warning signs to look out for in an online dating profile include if a guy says he’s looking for an “uninhibited free spirit” or “open” person. He usually means he wants to go to bed with you on the first date.

Women in search of a successful generous man often want him to spend his money on her.

When dating, remembermost people put on their best costume, as well as their best personality and behavior. If someone behaves poorly on your first meet-and-greet, expect

more of the same or worse.

There are a couple of dating business models I really like.

One is called “It’s Just Lunch.”

The site sets up a dozen lunchdate meetings. You chat over a delicious lunch and then say goodbye. If you like each other, you proceed. If not, it’s just lunch. Another model I like is the one where people are seated at a round-table dinner. Every 10 minutes people switch chairs so they are seated next to a different person. In one evening you have the opportunity to meet 10 or 12 different possible candidates for dating. It’s time effective.

When it comes to dating, online or in person, luck is involved. I know wealthy single people who paid exorbitant matchmaking fees and got no results. On the other hand, I know folks who used free dating sites and found their match. I think the key is to follow your own intuition about the most comfortable model to use and stay in action mode. When it’s no longer comfortable–stop.

Explore other avenues. Don’t remain stagnant–keep trying!

Be active and open. Meet lots of people so you can compare, contrast, and hone in on exactly what works for you and what doesn’t.

Like it or not, first glance at your photo is important. Men and women are looking for an open smiling face....someone

who is kind, attractive fun and energetic. In a profile, people are interested in character, humor, values, your relationship to money, education level, and whether or not you have kids.

• Make your first online exchange conversational. Be down-to-earth and real. No one is perfect. Don’t try to present perfection. It will be perceived as uptight, nervous, and untrue.

Rather, make light and humor out of your limitations and always own up to them.

• Coffee or lunch is great for a first date through an online dating site.. It’s a chance to sit in a public relaxed environment, meet-and-greet, and say goodbye. There is a built-in finite time limit.

• Always be vigilant, or hyper-vigilant, to run as fast as you can in the opposite direction if you have that “uh, oh” voice when meeting someone. If there is any suspicion that you are meeting an unsavory character end the date abruptly.

• Never give person information including your address (residence or work) or family information to a stranger you don’t know. Be cautious and a little close to the vest until you know someone better.

Surgery; and Andre Panossian, MD, director of Vascular Anomalies Center.

Along with volunteering surgical expertise, they will lead a symposium for surgeons throughout the region, providing Jordanian physicians the knowledge needed to continue providing specialized treatment once the CHLA team leaves.

Through the assistance of Dr. Khaldoun Haddadin, chief of plastic reconstructive surgery at King Hussein Medical Center, and the Jordanian medical team, the surgeons have reviewed 76 cases. This is the first outreach program to Jordan and compared to other international medical programs, this one differs from all others.

The cases are severe and include: hemangiomas, vascular anomalies, hand reconstruction, craniofacial reconstruction, and children with ambiguous genitalia, among other abnormalities. Dr. Urata will be doing a facial bipartition operation, a 9hour surgery that under normal circumstances no child could get unless operated on in the United States.

“In our world, ‘cosmetic’ surgery has a special meaning,” explains Urata.

“Having a facial deformity can be emotionally and socially devastating for kids who simply want to fit in. That's our job: to help them have a normal childhood.”

BEVERLY GARDENS (Continued from page 1)

plans for the Beverly Gardens Park Restoration, developed by Mia Lehrer and Associates.

Among the major areas of focus for the restoration of Beverly Canon Gardens will be restoring the lily pond, the circular fountain, retaining the photo opportunity area, adding new plants and new lighting.

For the electric garden area, the plan is to restore the electric fountain while improving the donor wall, modifying the pedestrian path for safe crossing, and adding new lighting to the area.

But the crown jewel will certainly be the lily pond, which for many years sat in front of the famous Beverly Hills sign. The lily pond was filled with everything from fish to frogs to, of course, lily pads.

“For those of us who grew up here, it’s bringing back a part of our childhood,” Mayor

John Mirisch said. “It’s a wonderful gift for the community.”

Bosse said her donation was made to help restore the pond in time for the Centennial.

“It’s very exciting to know that for our Centennial celebration we’re going to bring back one of the most beautiful spots in the history of our city,” Bosse told The Courier on Tuesday.

The City hopes to have the lily pond restored in time for the City of Beverly Hills’ 100th birthday, right back where it used to be in front of the Beverly Hills sign.

As a lifelong resident of Beverly Hills, Bosse said it was a no-brainer for her and Jon to lend a hand to help in the restoration of the pond.

“It was to me one of the most beautiful places in the City, very reflective. There was an element of tranquility, a sense of beauty, a down home small-town feeling,” Bosse told The Courier. “For anyone who

grew up in Beverly Hills, that’s one of the most beloved locations in our parks. It’s going to be wonderful to bring that back.”

Beverly Hills resident and philanthropist Steve Gordon is heading up efforts for the restoration through private donations.

The City of Beverly Hills is contributing $750,000 that were set aside from the fiscal year 2011/12 surplus to serve on a matching basis as its commitment to support the completion of the project.

Councilmember Nancy Krasne called the proposed design “plenty spectacular.”

“Mr. Gordon, my check is in the mail, just tell me where to send it.” Krasne said.

City Staff anticipates returning to the council on July 16 to award the bid for construction.

Beverly Hills’ Rep. Henry Waxman underscored the importance of working together to give children a better life.

“There’s nothing more important than doing what we can to give every child a chance for a future where they can realize their full potential,”

BEVERLY HILLS he said, noting that the U.S.’s failure to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is a “disgrace.”

Like Waxman, Rep. Brad Sherman emphasized the need for the U.S. to ratify the convention.

“127 other countries have done it,” he said, noting that the only other two United Nations members who have not ratified the convention are Somalia and South Sudan. “It is time for America to join the world, if not lead the world on these important conventions.”

For Meyer, oft lauded for her kind spirit, the discrimination that children face in other parts of the world because of a disability is heart-breaking.

“I want UNICEF to make itthat kids with disabilities can be accepted, play and have fun, just like kids without disabilities,” she said.

long been the desire of the community at large–an updated, state-of-the-art community center built on the footprint of the existing one.

Recreation and Parks Commission Chair Robbie Anderson hinted at the long, arduous process to get to Tuesday’s groundbreaking. “It’s a miracle we’re standing here,” Anderson said. “This is truly a great day for our community and our beloved Roxbury Park.”

The groundbreaking came on the heels of years of failed proposals and push back from community members who rejected what they felt was a bloated, oversized version of their community park, with items like a large basketball gyms and rock climbing walls.

Millions of dollars had been spent on design plans that never came to fruition.

Mayor John Mirisch told community members Tuesday that he understood the process could have been done better, and promised that it would next time.

Among the renovations of the new community center, which will be built on the exact footprint of the current center, is” modern heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing.

A new “multipurpose room” for larger exercise classes and community meetings.

A suite with three senior rooms, a kitchen for the senior meal program, a larger library, an exercise studio and an indoor-outdoor lobby/seating area. Landscaping around the center will be redone and no green space will be lost.

Construction is underway now. Senior programs were moved weeks ago to La Cienega Park, while children’s programs have moved to both the Beverly Hills Public Library and BHUSD school campuses.

Pacific Ready Cut Homes and has several ties of historical significance that City staff believes might make it worthy of landmark designation.

For one, Pacific Ready Cut Homes is on the Master Architect List.

The property was constructed in 1921 for William T. Sterling, an active local politician and Beverly Hills school board member.

The report from City Urban Designer William Crouch said the property “embodies the distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction; the residence is an early example of a pre-manufactured, California bungalow kithome in Beverly Hills.”

For those reasons, among others, the commission was unanimous in wanting to move forward with study of the property.

“I’m not aware of any other structure in our city similar to this, it seems to me to be fairly unique,” Vice Chair Richard Waldow said. “I’m looking forward to learning more about this style and its presence in our city.”

Commissioner Maralee Beck stopped short of calling it unique, but did say the property was “certainly a very important part of getting this City built.”

At the same meeting, the commission agreed with an appeal from the property owner at 619 N. Oakhurst Dr. to essentially find the property ineligible for historic significance.

The owner of the residence, build in 1937 by Master Architect James Dickason, applied with the City’s director of community development for a “director’s determination of Ineligibility,” which would conclude the property was not a historic resource and allow the applicant to proceed to design review for a desired facade remodel. Although the home itself was not found to be historically significant, the director said the property was found to be a potential contributor to a potential Dickason “thematic historic district” on the 600 block of North Oakhurst.

Under City Code, for Historic District Designation, at least 70 percent of the properties must be identified as contributing properties to justify creation of the district. In this case, only 69.7 percent were contributed as identifying, a major reason Chair Noah Furie sided with the applicant’s appeal.

“My opinion is that there is not a potential thematic district on the 600 block of North Oakhurst,” Furie said. “This action today should be sufficient to let the property owner move forward.”

Waldow added that although the property itself didn’t meet historic significance, “the door is still open to the possibility of establishment of a thematic district at some point.”

Hills High graduate and Elias, were working a 9-to-5 sales job, their first after college, in Gardena last fall when Elias noticed Gornik’s colorful bracelet. The pair began talking about the bracelet and as talks developed over several weeks, they saw a way to get out of a job they had grown to dread, and most importantly, do what they really longed to do – give back to the community.

“It’s about doing something you love, and Greg was really the perfect match for this,” Gornik said. “It’s been amazing, it’s very powerful to work with the charities and the people we have met and worked with.”

The way Bead Relief works is simple. Gornik and Elias approach non-profit organizations to partner with on the production of bracelets.

The bracelets are made in collaboration with the non-profit, using colors or style that best represent that charity, using high-quality beads from the Czech Republic.

The bracelets go on sale for $5, with 25 percent of each sale going to the charity designated to that bracelet.

Thus far, Bead Relief has

partnered with charities such as: A Place Called Home, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Canines for Kids, the Autism Society and The Harold Robinson Foundation.

“We try to make a bracelet that best represents their brand and what they do,” Elias said. “We provide graphics, e-mail marketing content, all that stuff. We try to make it as easy for the non-profit as possible.”

Bead Relief has set up shop near the Montage hotel, just outside of the Gornik & Drucker barber shop, owned and operated by John’s father William. John said Bead Relief has a unique “rental” partnership with his father – John works at the barber shop on the weekends, while Elias shines shoes outside the store throughout the week. In return, they are allowed to use the space free of charge.

“We are entrepreneurs all the way,” Elias said, laughing.

Bead Relief is open north of the Montage at the Gornik & Drucker display window, from Tuesday-Thursday from about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more about Bead Relief, the non-profits it works with or to purchase beads, visit www.beadrelief.com.

MIRISCH (Continued from page 4)

A fourth-generation Beverly Hills resident with a consistent “residents first” platform, Mirisch was hyper-aware of the needs of his audience during Wednesday’s talk to the business-minded group. Indeed, he even fielded a question from one attendee who noted that such a platform made businesses nervous.

“We are all connected,” he emphasized repeatedly. “It’s a cosmopolitan city…but it’s like a small town.”

Schools, he said, are “the glue that holds communities together.”

In addition, Mirisch listed multiple components that are

June 7, 2013 | Page 23 critical for Beverly Hills to retain its coveted pedigree, including: honoring the City’s historic legacy and cultural fabric, evidenced by the continued efforts by the year-and-ahalf-old Historic Preservation Commission which has already designated 13 historic structures; maintaining the continued efficiency of the City’s phenomenal fire and police departments; and ensuring that business standards remain high.

“A beautiful environment is an important reason why people come to Beverly Hills,” Mirisch said. “There’s a delicate balance between a worldfamous destination and a good place to raise a family.”

Astrology

by Holiday Mathis

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 7). You wish grandly as you shoot for the stars this year. By next month, you'll land on the right goal–one that can be accomplished by the end of September.

Throw a party to celebrate this success, and invite the attractive people who come into your life the next 10 weeks. November brings a solemn exchange. Cancer and Libra people adore you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The tools of structure you've been resisting will help you.

Timelines and measurements are needed.

Otherwise, your project will not move along in the way you want.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your conversational savvy helps you progress at work. You know when to stay on point and when to veer off in order to bring a sense of fun and surprise to the picture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love it when the action comes full circle, and you'll experience exactly that. The person who left to explore other offers will be back, realizing that the best offer around comes from you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In a world of diverted attention, evidence someone has paid attention to little things you say and do is a tremendous gift. That's why, in relationships, specificity trumps grand gestures.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You sometimes get uncomfortable when it's time to talk money, but the conversation doesn't have to be long and drawn out. Spell out the major terms. Only answer what's asked. Keep emotions out of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Concepts of good and evil are not usually as black and white as the fairy tales paint them to be. And then sometimes they are. Like today–a day when it's quite obvious what to cherish and what to ward off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What priority have you placed on fun? Push it up the chart to avoid becoming embittered and burned out.

Issue a few invites, and you’ll have many takers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You wonder whether everyone is really on the same page.

Assumptions in this regard could hurt you, so be bold. Find out. Ask others to summarize what's on their “page,”then check it against yours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you trying to do too much? This seems counterintuitive, but if you add one more task to your load, you'll find everything crystallizes neatly into two categories: “Do it” and “Drop it.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Sometimes you like to enjoy a funny person; sometimes you like to be the funny person. Your need for humor and self-expression will converge today to good effect.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You'll do your thing today–dance your dance, sing your song–and probably be met with shrugging shoulders. It's them, not you. “What is the voice of song when the world lacks the ear of taste?”–Nathaniel Hawthorne TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). What you see may disappoint you. But fill your heart with compassion, and your eyes will change. Your love is needed. You can make a difference by approaching this need differently.

In addition to Riceon piano, guests were treated to musical performances by the Muir String Quartet and children from the Harmony Project.

clude considering bike lanes, landscaped medians, transit stop amenities and improved street lighting.

Existing roadways, intersections, storm drains and pavement will also be evaluated for potential improvements.

Deputy Director of Transportation Aaron Kunz said public outreach would be done to figure out whether or not community members would support the installation of bike lanes.

One potential problem with the bike lanes could be a loss of green space. Kunz said green space would need to be reduced to accommodate two bike lanes. The scheduled construction would begin in spring 2015 and last 18-to-24 months.

“Prof. Selmi and Mr. Karmel bring tremendous assets to our litigation team,” Beverly Hills City Attorney Larry Wiener said in a statement. “Both have significant experience and insight into the land use and environmental issues that the City is raising in its litigation to relocate the proposed subway tunnel from beneath Beverly Hills High School.”

Karmel and Selmi were brought on board to replace Gilchrist & Rutter, one of the two firms, along with Schute, Mihaly and Weinberger, which had been representing the City in its cases.

After the lead lawyer form Gilchrest & Rutter left the firm, his new firm would not honor the terms of the City’s agreement with Gilchrist & Rutter. As a result, the City Council’s litigation chose to reexamine the situation and move in a different direction.

The appellate court held that Christiansen, who had left the district’s employ by the time the contract was signed, was no longer a public employee for purposes of the statute. The court declined to apply civil interpretations of “employee” to the criminal context.

The case is The People v.

Karen A. Christiansen, appellate case no. B238361.

The three-justice panel found Christiansen — a former Beverly Hills Unified School District facilities director, was “not a member, officer or employee of the relevant public body” and that a section of the state’s Government Code on conflict of interest “does not apply to her.”

Christiansen worked as a consultant and was no longer

“You took our advice and put forth a reasonable, fair and good timeline,” Vice Mayor Lili Bosse said. “To me, the key issues are pavement quality and drainage. Clearly the key to success is to make sure the community is informed. We need their input and vision.”

Councilmember Willie Brien told staff to keep the business community in the loop. Street closures that come with an 18-24 month construction timeline could effect business in the City.

“Make sure we include the business community. This will run into at least one holiday season, maybe two,” Brien said. “It’s important we make sure we don’t impact our revenue stream and natural flow of people who come here for lighting events at Rodeo, you lose them for a year and you lose them forever.” an employee under a new contract signed in 2006, according to the panel’s findings.She was sentenced in January 2012 to four years and four months in state prison.

The appellate court’s order vacated her sentence along with a restitution order of approximately $3.5 million.

In the appellate court panel’s ruling, the justices found that the Government Code section on conflict of interest does not define the term “employees” so they applied the common law test of employment under which “independent contractors are not employees.”

The next step could be for the attorney general to appeal to the California Supreme Court, although such a decision has not yet been made.

HUGHES (Continued from page 5)

after her birth and basically abandoned her until reuniting and moving to California when she was 10-years old.

While regularly watching health guru Jack LaLanne on TV, the youngster got hooked on fitness and has never once looked back.

As a teen, she created her own workout regimen and glommed onto every book or periodical she could find on vitamins and minerals all geared toward wellness and staying in shape.

Before subsequently doing all that for a living, however, Suzan had to support herself.

So after graduating from high school, she became a court reporter which led to her establishing her own court reporting business.

She also took time out to become a model and beauty queen (“Miss Hawaiian Tropic,” “Miss Petite U.S.A.,” etc.).

It was in 1987, however, that her life was to change forever when she became the third wife of the late Mark Reynolds Hughes, who only seven years before had founded Herbalife.

With this young business tycoon marrying someone whom herself had become an acknowledged authority on herbal nutrition, it made for a perfect combination in the building of a multi-billion dollar in annual sales enterprise.

Despite the remarkable growth and success the company enjoyed; living an unreal lifestyle in a historic, megamansion named Grey Hall on Doheny Road; plus the birth of their son (Alexander), the couple’s storybook union eventually dissolved in a bitter, highly publicized 1998 divorce and is still in the headlines a quarter century later.

Just last month, she won a 12-year court battle (she likens to a “Davita vs Goliath” showdown) to have Mark’s

three hastily chosen representatives removed and suspended as trustees of their son’s estate interests.

During their marriage, Suzan had completed a twoyear course on parenting from the Resources for Infant Educators which led her to co-establishing the Herbalife Family Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping the nutritional needs of children-at-risk in some 60 countries.

She also spent seven years as a Community Circle leader for the BHUSD, boardmember of The Maple Counseling Center and honorary boardmember of the Friends of Sheba Medical Center (winning its “Woman of Achievement” award) and Century City 4 Kids.

Suzan was honored by the Southern California Counseling Center with its “Wallis Annenberg Founders” award.

In recent years, the now single mother has been concentrating her efforts on promoting a high level of fitness for herself and the public.

Her workout video Take Ten To A Better You, featuring her patented “Rollermax” ( www.rollermax.com ), has been garnering positive responses.

She even took some time for some minor movie roles (Midnight, Mulholland Falls, etc.), as a stand-up comedienne at Harrah’s and the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, and as a reality TV hostess (Beverly Hills Holistic with former General Hospital actress Lisa Marie).

Suzan Hughes has been ensconced in Sunshine Manor, her North Beverly Drive art-filled showplace, for the past two decades, raising her son—now a student at New York University—and developing new products for her workout-fitness passion.

Will she be successful in that endeavor? Don’t put anything past this energetic blonde dynamo. She hasn’t missed yet!

Beverly Hills Tennis Preps First Annual Charity Event For The Maple Counseling Center

By Matt Lopez What's better than getting great exercise by hitting the tennis ball around the court for a couple of hours?

Playing tennis for charity.

On June 23, Beverly Hills Tennis will give residents that opportunity, hosting the first ever Beverly Hills Tennis Charity Tournament to benefit The Maple Counseling Center.

The all-day event is set to be held at the La Cienega Tennis Center from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will include a doubles round robin tennis tournament, a celebrity/pro exhibition, breakfast and lunch and trophies, gifts and prizes to be awarded to the winners.

Beverly Hills Tennis was

established as The Tennis Place Inc. in 1976 and has since become a benchmark in the Southern California tennis community. During the past 15 years, it has been the sole tennis management provider for La Cienega Tennis Center, Roxbury Park and Beverly Hills High School. It currently offers more than 120 hours per week of group and private instruction to adults and juniors of all ages. Tournaments, leagues and camps are also available and there is also a newly remodeled pro shop and outdoor patio lounge to enjoy.

The Maple Counseling Center began in 1972 and offers low-fee and no-fee counseling services to people of all

ages regardless of ability to pay. No visitors are turned away for lack of funds and each clients fee is determined by a sliding scale. In 2012, The Maple Counseling Center counseled a total of 1,932 individuals and couples, the youngest being 2-years-old and the oldest being 103.

Beverly Hills Tennis invites those interested in participating in doing so in a number of ways: either becoming a sponsor, donating products or services, participating as a player, supporting as a spectator or making a financial contribution directly to the Maple Counseling Center.

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH WHERE IS THE MAINSTREAM PRESS? For those of us old enough to remember the allegations and facts of the Richard Nixon Administration’s abuse of our personal liberties, we can only watch in astonishment as the administration of President Obama unveils itself daily as more egregious, more corrupt and more invidious than Nixon’s when it comes to our personal liberties.

The astonishment at the Obama abuses themselves is matched only by disbelief at the refusal of the “mainstream media” to go into high gear about them. Any one of these scandals would have set off a media explosion were the president named Bush or McCain – or even Clinton. Why does Obama get a pass? The most shocking nonresponse we’ve seen is the press’s apparent acquiescence in the Obama Justice Department seizing the records of the Associated Press. That really hits home, but where is the outrage?

Our founding states demanded press freedom as a condition to ratifying the Constitution. Where is the press? Answer: silent remain most of the media. From “non-mainstream media” we learn – slowly – that the Obama government gathers our telephone calls, hacks our reporters, uses the Internal Revenue Service as the “thought police,” sets up its “death panels” to administer Obamacare, and destroys over half the household wealth of the United States. We are learning that the actual bureaucrats at the Internal Revenue Service who invaded our privacy and abused our people are NOW the very same people in charge of Obamacare! If we say something, or know someone they don’t like, will they take away our medical care?

Never before in our nation’s history has the government had the technology to monitor nearly all of us, spy on all of us, chase us, hound us, delay us – “out” us and harass us. Under Nixon, at least, you had be on his list. Now the bureaucrats don’t even need a list. They just do it – according to Obama’s spokesman. This is new. Say or write one of a couple dozen “key words” and you get investigated. Words like, “patriot,” “Constitution,” “prayer,” “Israel.” One prescient commentator said, “Our liberties will last only until the government possesses the technological capability to stamp them out.”

Is that happening now? Sure seems like it.

To get on the wrong side of government, all you have to do is simply advocate smaller government. To be deprived of legal rights to raise money and advocate philosophies and positions, just opt for strong national defense, support the State of Israel, criticize Islam, or say you believe in traditional families. That gets your name, address, phone number, business, tax records, beliefs, church or temple attendance sent out to any number of leftist groups bent on crushing you and calls down upon you the legions of tax collectors and inquisitors of the IRS. Is the use of the word, “inquisitor,” hyperbole? It should be. It is not. Read of the extensive questions applicants were forced to answer: where do you go to church, to whom do you talk, what written materials do you read, who are your donors, what do they believe, with whom do you do business? That is “Inquisition” with a capital “I.” How is that the correct role of government in the United States?

It is not. As the federal government buys up every bullet it can, why? Why does the federal government list elderly surviving World War II and Korean War vets, joined by their septuagenarian spouses and aging Vietnam era compatriots as “threats to national security” for having picnics in public parks with a few hand-lettered signs? What are they going to do? Beat us with their canes or break into government buildings in their battery-operated wheelchairs?

Yet those people are the ones targeted the most.

Where is the mainstream press in all of this? AWOL. Is it because they can’t read?

Is it because they hate Republicans so much that they won’t follow anything that remotely criticizes the President? Or is it because so many are really radical leftists in disguise who agree with crushing opposing views? Probably a lot of “all of the above.”

If the “Occupy Movement” is defined by protestors who silence the opposition, demand money and property from those who have earned it, and mess up every place they go, then you could apply that definition here.

We do not understand why the federal government NEEDS to monitor every phone call made by an American inside the United States. We do not understand why “national security” demands that the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration NEED tens of millions of bullets. We do not understand why the Obama Justice Department NEEDS to hack reporters’ computers and seize their phone records.

If national security is the issue, then why did our national security apparatus refuse to listen to the Russian security forces warn us about the Boston Marathon bombers? We do not understand the passivity and relative silence of our mainstream press. Or do we?

Our greatest fear is that we actually do know why.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman WHEN HEAVEN TOUCHES EARTH Once again in sunny California we have been watching the vulnerable middle of our country under savage attack by nature.

We watched as the heavens furiously touched the earth with tornado after tornado, flattening whole neighborhoods in the central states with a ferocity we have somehow been spared.

I am sure that ever since the Earth was created, it has been victimized by nature in a punishing way as weather patterns changed from eon to eon. In our lifetime, however, rarely have we observed the bruising attacks that we have of late.

Looking out my window on Lasky Drive, I tried to imagine my feelings if ever destructive nature came rushing down our street. Our condo, opposite Beverly Hills High School, is almost the lowest point in our neighborhood, which is at Olympic and Spaulding. I have visions of Lasky, of rows and rows of young saplings recently planted being uprooted and swept up in the flood, of rooftops being plucked up and tossed away, of our garage flooded and our automobiles parked there beginning to float and bash into one another, the high school baseball diamond turned into a lake, and our friendly neighborhood oil well polluting the area.

I am reasonably sure that this will never happen, and still the impossible always remains there in the world of nature. In the meantime, let us be grateful for a salubrious local climate and gather our rosebuds while we may.
