National Security Expert Says Mainstream Media Missing The Point On NSA Surveillance Scandal By Matt Lopez Edward Snowden, the man who gave classified documents to reporters ripping the lid off two sweeping U.S. surveillance programs, could be facing decades in jail.

The severity of Snowden’s “crime”, and whether or not he could face jail time, is of little importance to Jack Lerner, a technology lawyer and professor at the USC Gould School of Law and an expert on digital

privacy and national security. In fact, Lerner is a little tired of constantly seeing headlines questioning what the future holds for Snowden, 29, who worked as a contractor at

I LOVED THE TONYS – THEY WERE TOPS

By Joan Rivers

love the theatre, so it makes perfect sense that, rain or shine, good or bad, I’m always going to love the Tony Awards telecast. It’s an even greater pleasure to report that this year’s edition was a blast.

To make an awards show work,

you need a great host, and this year, the Tonys welcomed back Neil Patrick Harris for his fourth go around.

PH (don’t expect me to type his entire name over and over again) is funny, charming, talented and a cool cookie if ever there was one. And he was just plain sensational.

V critics have characterized Bigger, the mammoth production number that launched the show as “legendary,” and it was quite simply the best opening number I can recall seeing on an awards extravaganza.

ver the course of seven-and-ahalf dazzling minutes, backed by 100 singers and dancers from musicals currently running on Broadway, NPH instantaneously changed from street clothes to a full tuxedo, danced alongside the Great White Way’s newest star, Mike Tyson(!), and disappeared into a magic box that transported him from the stage to the back of Radio City Music Hall (in all its glorious, Art Deco splendor).

lanked by the newsies from Newsies, he sang and danced around the huge theatre while sticking it to Shia LaBoeuf, Alec Baldwin and Tom Hooper, director of the film version of Les Misérables.

I especially liked the sight gag of a

“W

OW!” is all I can say.

ver since the nominations were announced, the theatre community has endlessly been caught up in one ferocious struggle for Best Musical between Kinky Boots (with thirteen nominations) against the British import, Matilda (with twelve).

Kinky, adapted

from a 2005 British Kinky Boots’ Tony winner Billy Porter film by actor-playwright Harvey Fierstein, and brand new Main Stem I’ve ever seen even though it is outracomposer, Grammy, Emmy and now geously funny. It’s also a show that Tony winner, Cyndi Lauper, tells a comes down on the side of teaching rather not so new the story.

One glorifying sentimentality, and the other here was a lot to like here, including gorgeous sets and costumes and spectacular dancers. But the show reminded me of one of those old ABC afterschool specials, preaching a feelgood, squeaky-clean message about diversity, decency, unselfishness and what it really means to be a man.

celebrating the victory of intellect over stupidity. And in the end, was it any surprise that Kinky emerged the victor, scoring the big prize, (along with five other awards, including Best Leading Actor in a Musical)?

The goal of these two programs, according to the NSA, is to detect suspicious behavior that could be linked to terrorism. “Let’s be clear what’s going on here.

they talk to them and where they’re going at all times,” Lerner said. “The idea that the government would need all that information, and keep it forever presumably, is shocking.” CBS News published a poll that claimed 75 percent of Americans supported NSA phone tracking, but the details of the poll revealed the truth about the responses. The poll asked respondents whether they “approve of Federal Government Collecting Phone Records of Americans suspected of terrorist activity.” In a similar CBS News poll, only 38 percent said they approved of that same level of surveillance for “ordinary americans.” Lerner said he always had an inkling that some sort of surveillance was going on. “It’s very jarring to have your suspicions confirmed like that,” Lerner said. “The fact is that you don’t know who is holding onto and accessing this info.” Snowden, the leaker, is currently reported to be hiding out in Hong Kong, hoping to avoid extradition to the United States, where he could face numerous charges.

Wedding Envy; Safety Tips For Prom Night Dear Dr. Fran: My best friend who is the sister I never had just got engaged. Instead of rejoicing, I find myself feeling jealous. I wish it were me getting married! Is it okay I feel jealous and what should I do if I want my boyfriend to pop the question, too? Terry J. Dear Terry: “Wedding envy” is definitely a phenomenon that exists. You may occasionally hear of a cluster of friends getting engaged around the same time—even scheduling wedding dates in close proximity. This is because many young women can’t bear being “leftout.” Often, when their friend(s) are getting married they press their boyfriends to step up to the plate. Guys, on the other hand, do not respond to their buddies getting married with the same rush to the alter. It helps to be reminded that the divorce rate in America is 50 percent. One out of every two marriages will end in divorce. This statistic should soothe and calm the wedding itch (though it rarely does)! Studies have confirmed that many women who desire marriage are not really in search of living day in and day out with a give-and-take partner. Rather, these women want to be “Queen For A Day” at their wedding celebrations. It is their opportunity to have the fairytale for one full day. Women also bear the fantasy that being married leads to “happily ever

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions after.” I am focusing on women because it is almost never the guy dragging his gal down the aisle. It is most always the other way around. Women need to have straight honest painful talk with themselves. Don’t talk with your man until you are crystal clear on your goals, desires, dreams, and realistic expectations. Share them with your partner. Have a sit-down conversation about your personal hopes and expectations. Listen to his. Examine how you as a couple resolve conflicts. This is singularly the highest risk area for couples. Can you each tolerate listening without interruptions. How do you each individually deal with disappointments You don’t always have to agree; but you must be able to bear differences with mutual respect. Dear Dr. Fran: My 16 year-old daughter has been invited to the prom by a senior boy. She has been raised in a healthy environment but I am terrified she will be exposed to bad influences. I am afraid to let her go even though her father supports the idea. What is the right thing for us do allow? Shirley C.

Dear Shirley: I understand your fears and worry. Bottom line is that your parenting influence on building her character, ethics, and values is essentially done. To be a good parent, you must foster and support every increment toward your child's autonomy and independence, with the prerequisite that you provided all the necessary preparation for dealing with life. Talk with your daughter. Discuss the “what-ifs.” Ask her how she will respond if she’s offered alcohol, or if her friends are all smoking marijuana and they pressure her to join in. See what her internal resources are before injecting any lectures. The following are some tangible steps that can be taken to help keep prom night safe and increase the chances your children stay out of trouble: 1. Make a “no questions asked policy” where they can call you at any time and ask to be picked up from the party and you will not press them for details. On the other hand, if you discover that they were at the party with alcohol, drugs, or illicit sex there will be serious consequences. 2. Know who is driving your child to and from prom. If it’s a rented limo, check their policy on allowing alcohol and drugs in the vehicle. 3. Volunteer to chaperone. If your child can’t stomach the

thought of you being there, that’s not a good sign. I urge you even more strongly to chaperone. 4. If your child is spending time at an after- or pre-prom party, call her or him on their cell phone at a random time and ask for them to call you back from a land line. This will let them know that you expect them to be where they say they will be.

USC School Of Pharmacy Launches Masters In Health Decision Analysis USC’s School of Pharmacy has launched a new master of science in Healthcare Decision Analysis (HCDA) offering both clinical and business professionals skills needed for the new discipline emerging at the intersection of business intelligence, healthcare analytics and applied health policy, as well as the ability to better navigate an industry made ever more challenging by changing regulations, global competition and technological advances. “This program is definitely unique and needed,” says Cyrus Arman, principal and head of West Coast operations for Deallus Consulting. “I am un-aware of any other school combining these particular areas.” The intensive, interdisciplinary program is the first of its kind to unite such areas as healthcare economics, data analysis, international market

access, product pricing, reimbursement, insurance operations and competitive business practices. Graduates will be experts in meeting the needs of pharmaceutical, biotech, specialty pharmacy, diagnostics, manufacturing and related industries nationally and globally, he stated. “Students will gain practical skills they can use at work the next morning,” says Grant Lawless, director of the program. “It is designed to help mid-career professionals jump to a leadership role or transition into a new area. And it will help new graduates gain a strategic advantage over other young professionals.” For information on this program, email HCDA@usc.edu or call 323-442-1276 or visit http://HCDA.usc.edu.

BOND (Continued from page 1)

spond, the board convened two “town hall” meetings with a third planned for next Tuesday, June 18. In a rare display of openness and transparency for a public agency, the board today published and distributed an 80-page compilation of bond documents, financial analyses, construction plans and budgets, along with comprehensive studies on safety, engineering and dollar impact on local taxpayers. The board documents are distributed with today’s Courier. Extra copies are available at District offices. The issue debated is whether to increase the tax rate paid by BHUSD property owners so that more bonds can be sold faster. The dilemma results from a campaign promise issued by the then-school board five years go that the local tax rate for the bonds would not increase. Today, this Board is faced with slowed property values and rising construction

costs. If the current tax rate is maintained, the district will not be able to sell the amount of bond needed to build what is planned or promised, but if the tax rate is increased, voter anger may result. Compounding the financial problem is the fact that the type of bond approved, a so-called “Capital Appreciation Bond,” defers interest for decades, with the compounding effect causing interest charges to skyrocket. Financial analysts for the District predict over $1.5 billion in higher interest costs if the bond purchase and payback are deferred, as would be the case were nothing to happen. The two town hall sessions already held brought out a conflict. All five board members acknowledge increasing the tax rate is the right move from a fiscal standpoint. Four of the five are expected to vote to increase the tax rate, with member Brian Goldberg voting “no.” He is the only member of the current board who served

on the previous board which approved the bond measure. He voted “no” at that time, too. A vote could raise the tax rate from $49.71 per $100,000 of assessed valuation to $110 to start with. That amount would drop to as low as $60 by 2034 for the final 20 years of bond repayment. The net result is the same as paying off a home mortgage faster – the sooner the debt is repaid, the less interest charges incurred. The idea was first raised by Board vice president Noah Margo at a “town hall” meeting on Jan. 15. The most recent two town halls were held June 6 and this past Monday, June 10. Both were poorly attended with fewer than 30 residents present. The turnout made it hard for the district to gauge residents’ opinions, District Superintendent Gary Woods told The Courier. Keygent Advisors, who will oversee bond offerings for the district, estimates that by raising the property tax rate close to the maximum allowed under Proposition 39 and shortening the payback date from 2076 to 2054, Beverly Hills property owners stand to save over $1.5 billion. That means that starting next year, the owner of a $1 million Beverly Hills property would initially pay $1,100 in property taxes for school bonds, nearly double today. Looked at for the long term, the current tax rate would cost the average property owner roughly $69,500. Keygent reported that the total cost, if the rate is increased, would be approximately $46,600. A number of speakers supported returning the decision to the voters. At the June 6, Vice Mayor Lili Bosse spoke in favor of that option. Former school board president Mel Spitz, a member of the District’s finance committee, opposed, citing financial consequences, “There is really no question that the cost of construction is going to be escalated dramatically,” Spitz said at the June 6 forum. “[Acceleration] is a

BEVERLY HILLS make-sense proposition and if [the board delays] it, the district might not have the capacity to get the job done.” Without accelerating the bond, rising construction costs --estimated to grow at least 5 percent annually for the average school modernization process – would prevent modernizing all Beverly Hills schools, particularly as the BHUSD competes with the Los Angeles Unified School District’s $7 billion school construction initiative to secure industry contracts. Board members Lisa Korbatov and Lewis Hall, in addition to Margo, have all emphasized to The Courier that they would not vote to accelerate the bond in the absence of a clear building plan in place. To date, only about 20% of the bonds have been sold. The actual bond sales, interest charges, schedule of bond sales under the current plan and under a new accelerated plan, are set out in the District’s documents book in today’s Courier. Under the latest Measure E school construction plan, recently completed by lead District facilities consultant Tim Buresh, the remaining $303 million from Measure E is allocated as follows: $62 million to Horace Mann, $4 million to Beverly Vista, $25 million each to Hawthorne and El Rodeo, and the lion’s share to the high school, with $170 million. There is also a $17 million contingency built in. City attorney and Horace Mann parent, Larry Wiener, said at the June 10 town hall, “I don’t believe it would be a breach of a promise for the board to move forward at this time. I feel the larger promise is we’re going to get these facilities built. And that promise, I would like to see kept.” The board has invited all Beverly Hills property owners to review the documents provided and give them their views on the matter. A vote to increase the tax rate is scheduled for the June 25 public meeting of the school board.

formative” supplement with information on the Measure E Bond from the Beverly Hills Unified School District. This comprehensive disclosure document is part of an effort on behalf of the Beverly Hills Unified School District to educate the community on the $334 million school modernization bond that Beverly Hills voters approved in 2008. The informative aims to explain, what Board President Jake Manaster calls “the bad deal,” that voters adopted when they passed the bond. It also aspires to showcase the bulk of information that the board has to work with in order to help the community better understand its efforts to make the best of the situation, while still staying true to the important tenets of Measure E – to provide safe, modern and seismically sound structures throughout Beverly Hills schools. As you will read in Manaster’s open letter to Beverly Hills voters: “Not one member of your current school board likes this situation.” Further, Manaster’s letter states, the board doesn’t like the most serious solution being considered, which is to raise property taxes; “But the alternative is a bad one.” Included in the informative is a compendium of documents on the Measure E Bond that the Board of Education has been studying including a fuller picture of the bond including its cost and financing, objectives and scope targets, information related to project delays, letters from the California Geological Survey, information related to the “Subway to the Sea,” detailed project scopes for work to be done at each of the schools, including an investigation into parking at the high school, an examination of Capital Appreciation Bonds and letters from the district’s Finance Committee.

I will never forget them,” Fisher told The Courier. “The accolades and medals are great, but being able to impact someone’s life for the better is something I really just discovered.” That has been a feat Fisher has excelled at since taking the head post for BHHS’ running teams for years ago, both through the bond he’s forged with his athletes and of course, the results he’s produced on the track. The proof is in the pudding: in each of his four years, Fisher has had at least one runner or team advance to the CIF State Championships. Prior to his arrival in 2010, the last State Championship appear-

Attendees at Wednesday’s installation included Vice Mayor Lili Bosse, City Councilman Julian Gold and City Councilman Willie Brien, in addition to community and business leaders, such as Brook’s Brother’s Jim Jahant, who helms the prestigious Rodeo Drive Committee, and luminaries like Buzz Aldrin. “This is a real honor,” Bendheim said. “I’m really inspired to reinvigorate our chamber.”

POLL (Continued from page 1)

Californians support keeping offenders of “nonviolent” crimes in county custody rather than state prison. The problems with this poll, Antonovich says, are numerous. The information provided to respondents did not mention that more than 6,000 of the

ance by a BHHS runner came in 1998. In Cross Country, Fisher has sent runners to the State Championships three different years and has had numerous runners in both sports advance to the CIF Finals. This season, the boys cross country team qualified for state for the first time ever and in Cross Country, Sydney Segal was the first runner to qualify for the Nationals since 1969. Fisher, 31, said that when he arrived in 2010, he sensed a “culture change” was needed. “The expectations just weren’t very high. I don’t think the kids took it very seriously or knew what it took to be great runners,” Fisher said. They soon learned. “He puts so much effort into his craft, that personally I feel guilty when I don’t reciprocate that in all the efforts and exercises that I do,” said Alex Rohani, a track state champion who was a freshman in Fisher’s first year as head coach. “He

deserves all the credit. All we did was listen to him. We trust him.” Segal said Fisher’s dedication to his students was easy to see early on. “All the time and effort he puts in is sometimes difficult for us naive teenagers to realize. When we have to wake up at 6:30 a.m. and run, he has to wake up at 6:30. Five days a week,” Segal said. “He’s changed so many of our lives.” Despite all the achievements and record-breaking statistics over the last four years, perhaps the number that sticks most with Fisher is six – the amount of athletes who have come out of his program with college scholarships. Not to mention another 10 or so who received preferred admissions. “That is very gratifying, it was one of my biggest goals when I got here,” Fisher said. Fisher grew up in Louisiana and was a championship-level track star at LSU.

county’s 11,122 offenders under probation’s supervision per realignment have been re-arrested, and that more than 4,000 of those arrests were for new offenses now pending decision. Also, the poll ignores the fact that a large portion of “low-level” criminals are only classified by their latest crime, not their most grievous. “This is a ‘push poll’ that

seeks to manipulate public opinion rather than measure it,” Antonovich said. A ‘push poll’ is a common marketing ploy used often in political campaigns. They are, in effect, a form of telemarketing, with questions aimed and persuading respondents to provide a specific response rather than eliciting an honest opinion.

THE

JET AGE

ON RODEO DRIVE

The 20th Anniversary of the Rodeo Drive Concours is set to take off with “The Jet Age” The annual Father’s Day tradition for 2013 features a wide variety of vintage and racing cars and motorcycles lining Rodeo Drive north from Wilshire Boulevard to Santa Monica Boulevard on Sunday, June 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The world-class show is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit rodeodrive-bh.com.

When organizers (led by The Courier’s Marcia Hobbs) of the worldwide launch of the Ferrari 348 Spider gathered on Rodeo Drive in February 1993 with a display of hundreds of red Ferraris lining the famous shopping street, they had no way of knowing they were creating the basis for a Father’s Day event that would become the largest annual public event in Beverly Hills and would be heralded as one of the “300 Unmissable Events & Festivals Around the World.” Twenty years later – after themes ranging from “Haute Wheels” to “The Art of Italian Motoring” and last year’s “The British are Coming!” - the Rodeo Drive Concours selected “The Jet Age” as the 2013 theme. “The Jet Age marked a time when carmakers from post World War II through the arrival of the supersonic Concorde in the ‘70s redesigned their automobiles to highlight the most extreme designs reflecting streamlining and speed. We will display a thrilling exhibit reflecting these often outrageous designs,” says Concours Chairman Bruce Meyer. “The City is proud to partner with the Rodeo Drive Committee on what has become the largest public event in the City, an annual Father’s Day tradition for our residents and visitors and celebrates the convergence of style, cars and entertainment as only Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive can do,” says Beverly Hills Mayor John Mirisch. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Learjet, the centerpiece of this year’s Concours will be the public premiere of the new $18 million Learjet 85 aircraft model, which will be delivered in this coming year. This aircraft appearance marks the first time in history a jet has ever been parked on the world-famous street. The Learjet 85 is designed by Bombardier Aerospace, the world’s largest business aviation manufacturer, and is available for fractional jet ownership exclusively through Flexjet.

BEVERLY HILLS AND THE OWENS RIVER WATER By Robert S. Anderson Special to The Courier

As Beverly Hills approaches the 2014 celebration of the Centennial since its 1914 incorporation as a City, this is the fifth 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.

he young City of Beverly Hills exploded with new construction in 1920, with 110 building permits issued compared to just three in 1917. This number grew each year, peaking in 1926 with 1478 permits issued. All these new homes and buildings, and the people in them, needed water. By 1929, Beverly Hills had drilled 20 deep water wells that supplied 7,800 gallons a minute–about 18 million gallons every day and a half from five different locations around the City. This was still not enough to supply the population boom. Water users spurted from 600 in 1923 to 4,200 in 1928 and showed no signs of slowing down. The City needed water–even more of it. The Los Angeles Aqueduct had just opened on Nov. 5, 1913 after 5 years of back-breaking construction that brought water to Southern California from the Owens Valley. The flood of eastern Sierra Nevada water allowed Los Angeles’ population to grow from 102,000 in 1900 to more than 1 million in 1916. William Mulholland, the legendary first superintendent and chief engineer of the new L.A. Municipal Water Department, conceived, designed and oversaw construction of the aqueduct. Mulholland was trying to distribute this water when he butted heads with the Trustees of The City of Beverly Hills. In April 1914, just months after being installed in the newly-incorporated city, the trustees launched the first of many confrontations with the city of Los Angeles and the Rodeo Land & Water Company–a legal battle over a right-of-way. Mulholland had bought the right of way from the Rodeo Land to lay a huge water pipeline across Coldwater Canyon for the Owens Valley water. The Rodeo Land & Water Company tried to pressure the trustees to go along. Instead, the trustees responded: “The government of the City of Beverly Hills has been vested in a board of trustees, separate and distinct from your company, over which we do not believe you have any right, legally or morally, to exercise control.” Why the fight? Truth was, the City of Beverly Hills needed water and figured that if it could hold that pipeline hostage by winning the lawsuit, it could force them to give us water out of that system without becoming part of the city of Los Angeles. We lost that battle in Superior Court with the decision stating that the needs of a big community outweighed the rights of a small one–but we did get water rights. Water management in L.A. was originally in the hands of a private company, the Los Angeles City Water Company. Mulholland was searching for

new water resources for the city of Los Angeles when Fred Eaton, a former mayor of L. A. and an engineer, brought the Owens Valley to Mulholland’s attention. The Federal Reclamation Service also was looking at the Owens River as a possible irrigation source for the valley. B. Lippincott, a supervising engineer for the service, was the man in charge of putting together recommendations for the government, but what most would consider a conflict of interest was he was also working as a consulting engineer for Mulholland and the L.A. Water Department. Lippincott’s efforts for the Federal Reclamation Service resulted only in the valley's public lands being set aside for future development; no rights to the land were secured. It was around this time Eaton quietly set about buying up options on strategic land in the valley by paying $450,000 for a two-month option on ranch lands and 4,000 head of cattle. All in all, he acquired the rights to more than 50 miles of riparian land, basically all parcels of any importance not controlled by the Federal Reclamation Service for land which would be needed for construction of the aqueduct. To curious valley residents, Eaton implied that he was affiliated with the service, not the city of Los Angeles, as was actually the case. The movie Chinatown is loosely based on this land grab. In 1905 a L.A. bond issue of $1.5 million to purchase options from Eaton on Owens Valley lands and water rights was voted in and two years later, voters approved another bond issue of $23 million for construction of a 233mile long aqueduct. Thus the residents of Owens Valley, who had expected to be the beneficiaries of a federal irrigation project, found themselves out of luck, and water, as construction began. Troops had to be called in to protect the aqueduct after irate Owens Valley residents blew up portions of the pipeline. The 233-mile long aqueduct started at the valley’s northern end and ran right through it. The water that valley residents once thought would irrigate their farmlands, instead flowed to and fed the growing population of L.A., with Beverly Hills a recipient of some of the water. Franklin Lake above Coldwater Canyon became one of the holding areas for this water. Mulholland had conceived of an engineering marvel: an aqueduct system that would transport water from the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains to Los Angeles, using gravity to keep the water flowing. Mulholland's dream was realized in 1913 when water from the eastern Sierra Nevada came gushing down the newly-built concrete cascades into the Los Angeles Basin. The Los Angeles Aqueduct did more than supply water to the city–it also brought it power. During the building of the aqueduct, the city’s first hydroelectric power plant was built at Division Creek in 1905 to supply hydroelectric power for the aqueduct construction. When that job was done, the power then came to the burgeoning city–water and power at the same time, with Beverly Hills getting a share because Los Angeles needed a place for its pipeline.

Additional historical articles on the City can be found in Robbie Anderson’s book The Beverly Hills Hotel: The First 100 Years. The book is available at www.thebeverlyhillscollection.com. It can also be purchased at The Beverly Hills Hotel, Brooks Brothers, Gearys, and Book Soup.

El Encanto Hotel 1900 Lasuen Road, Santa Barbara Telephone: 805-845-5800 US Toll Free: 1-800-393-5315 www.elencanto.com

A TRUE ESCAPE TO SANTA BARBARA The New El Encanto. Quiet. Simple. Elegant. El Encanto – The Enchantment. by Bill Arp (reprinted from The Beverly Hills Courier)

There had to be a reason the unique luxury hotel company, Orient-Express, would spend more than $100 million on a collection of 1918-ish bungalows perched above sleepy Santa Barbara. Known for many of the finest names in the world of hospitality, like the Cipriani in Venice, The Ritz in Madrid, the Grand in St. Petersburg and the Copacabana Palace in Rio (not to mention “21” in New York), why would they plunk down that much in its eight-year quest to rehab and reopen this fabled retreat? Santa Barbara holds a mystical grasp on people’s imagination: its Spanish missionary origins, the short two-hour drive that transports us to a different universe, the gateway to the wine country of the Santa Ynez Valley – all combine to summon us to this unique island of a different California. But visitors also know that Santa Barbara itself is often cold, fogged-in and misty much of the year. El Encanto offers all the charm but without the fog. Drive up the mountainside to El Encanto. Be greeted by a staff that already knows your name, even if you've never been there before. It's above the clouds. It's above the mist. It's above the red tile roofs of the town. Casual, relaxing, calm is the dress code. Wander along tree-shaded walkways lined with beautiful flowers, Mission-revival style red tile roofed-casitas, the Craftsman bungalows, fountains, vistas – it truly is a world apart. El Encanto is also imbued with the five-star elegance, attention to detail and excellence of famed hotelier Ali Kasikci, now Regional Managing Director of Orient-Express Hotels/North America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The Cuisine - Enter Executive Chef Patrice Martineau, late of Daniel in New York, chef de cuisine at Peter at the Peninsula Tokyo and executive chef at The Savoy in London. Martineau's resume also consists of numerous television appearance on BBC, including a guest judge on the popular Celebrity Master-chef. Originally from Troyes, France, Martineau brings international and national award-winning cuisine to El Encanto, concentrating on inventive French- and Asian-inspired “California Coastal Cuisine” featuring local produce, local fresh seafood and on-site grown herbs and spices. Pool and Exercise Facilities - With 270 degree vistas, the El Encanto pool offers bathers both the solitude of a private home with its customdesigned infiity pool overlooking the entire Santa Barbara valley and poolside service. The fine exercise room below has all the equipment one would expect – treadmills, stairsteppers, elliptical exercisers, fixed weights, medicine balls – more than enough to keep you fit.

For Golfers - For golfers, El Encanto easily arranges tee-off times at the nearby ocean-front Sandpiper Golf Club, as well as Rancho San Marcos in the hills and Glen Annie courses. Pets - El Encanto is pet-friendly with full accommodations and even a pet menu. Conference Facilities - El Encanto has excellent facilities including a 3,00 sq. ft. ballroom for weddings and conferences and three other meeting rooms. Tennis - El Encanto enjoys guest privileges at the nearby tennis club. Excursions - The concierge will gladly arrange day trips to Santa Barbara and to the Santa Ynez Valley including many wineries and famed Danish village Solvang. Getting There - Drive out Highway 101 past Ventura, exit Salinas Street to Alameda Padre Sierra to Moreno Street (turn left) to 1900 – enter on the right; scheduled airlines and private jets: Santa Barbara Airport is 15 minutes away; an hour and 50 minutes from Los Angeles International, L.A. Westside, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Pasadena and San Marino.

Astrology

by Holiday Mathis

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You already feel that life is good, but you’re about to believe it’s absolutely phenomenal. The next seven weeks bring an answer for every question, a date when you want one and opportunities galore. Give yourself a deserved break in August. September shows you rising up through the ranks of an organization. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The contradictions will seem to stand in defiance before you, daring you to make sense of them. This cannot be done with force or hard-line thinking. Gentleness and time will eventually bring all things into order. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t want to owe anyone, and yet, if you were to swallow your pride and accept some help, you would quickly find yourself in a much better position. You could help others from that place, too. Take the help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Difficult tasks are just a series of easy steps –a really long series, to be sure. But since you’re only tackling one step at a time, there is little difference between choosing a difficult task and an easy one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll encounter two types of people now: the talkers and the doers. They need each other. The talkers will be the marketers and the publicity for all that the doers need to advertise. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you don’t guess right or make a smart move right off the bat, don’t worry. This is how you gain the experience you need. If you’re always correct the first time, you won’t make a good teacher later. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just because love is true doesn't mean it is easy. You’re up for the adventure, though. Loyalties will be tested. Learn even more about the person you love and about yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Turn up the tunes and be carefree. One of your sign mates said this well: “I wish you music to help with the burdens of life, and to help you release your happiness to others.”—Ludwig van Beethoven CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It is tempting to veer off course and set your sights on an entirely different goal. But you will gain so much confidence from doing what you set out to do, if only to prove the point that you’re a person who follows through. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People think you're brave for speaking your mind, but what they don't understand is that you're just not the type to bottle things up. To you, that would be far more painful than just telling the truth. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). What is it you most want people to feel around you? Your clear intentions have power. Cultivate and spread that emotion. Don’t worry about how. The result you want shapes your decisions unconsciously. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You feel Presents somewhat responsible for the happiI'm Not Rappaport ness of those you love. There’s no by Herb Gardner reason to hold back any advice you have that might help to enhance and Performed at the Pico Playhouse 10508 Pico Blvd. augment their well-being, but do Los Angeles, CA 90064 keep in mind that timing is everyFor Tickets: 323-821-2449 thing.

P U B L I C N OT I C E S and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 09-0153880. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

ENJOY FATHER’S DAY ON RODEO DRIVE AT ‘CONCOURS’ Beautiful weather. Beautiful city. Unique and beautiful automobiles. The best shopping in the world. No wonder the “Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance” always makes the list of the Top 100 events around the world. And, best of all for us, it’s right here every year – this weekend on Sunday. For this year, we even have a Learjet. How many “Concours” in the world feature a jet airplane? The Courier is pleased to join Concours once again as its media sponsor. The Rodeo Drive Committee always does a wonderful job presenting this outstanding day. Bruce Meyer outdoes himself every year with the excellent showing of classic and antique automobiles. Every city should enjoy the support of its merchants. This is the one day a year when our Rodeo Drive merchants come together to give us all a great day in the sun. For this Centennial year, we encourage all our readers to come out Sunday and join the fun. We thank Gearys and Tom Blumenthal especially, East West Bank (whose new office is nearing its opening), Wells Fargo Bank, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Peninsula Beverly Hills, 2 Rodeo, Brooks Brothers, Hotel del Coronado, La Costa Resort & Spa, Beverly Hills Fletcher Jones Audi, the soon-to-arrive Beverly Hills Infiniti, Porsche Design, Nelson Shelton & Associates, El Encanto, Auctions America, the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau and, of course, the Rodeo Drive Committee, for joining us in sponsoring and holding this great event. Fathers (presumably) – and maybe other family members -- love the cars, so families can be forgiven if the appurtenant shopping pleases them as well as dad. We also believe our Courier models (the human kind) that you will see Sunday will enhance the experience as they are on hand to distribute our special “Rodeo Drive Fashion Forward” special issue. We hope you will come by The Courier’s booth and say “hello.” We will be taking photos to add to our “happy birthday” feature. We also wish to congratulate our own Beverly Hills Polo Club team for its victory over the Celebrity Ranch polo team this past Saturday, in a match sponsored by The Courier at the Will Rogers State Park polo field. For those who have not watched a polo match, be assured it is really exciting to watch. And what about afterwards? “To the Polo Lounge,” of course! The Courier wishes all the fathers, non-fathers and our guests “Happy Fathers Day.”

Rabbi Jacob Pressman MY HEART BELONGS TO DADDY .........BUT WHO IS DADDY? The first Father’s Day celebration was held on Sunday, June 19, 1910 through the efforts of Sonora Smart Dodd. After she attended a Mother’s Day celebration in 1909, she was struck by how much her father, William Smart, a Civil War veteran, had sacrificed for his six children. Sadly, his wife died giving birth to the sixth. Smart then raised his six children on his own. His daughter, Sonora, had the Spokane YMCA host a public celebration in tribute to fathers. The observance grew in other states until 1965, when the U. S. Congress passed a joint resolution recognizing Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June as an official holiday, reconfirmed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon. In 2010, the Congress passed a long resolution recognizing the important role fathers play in our families: “Now therefore, be it resolved: That the House of Representatives commends Sonora Smart Dodd for her contribution in recognizing the importance of Father’s Day and the important role fathers play in our families.” Today, the holiday raises a new issue: the increasing number of women raising their children without the presence or influence of a husband to father them. What does a child think about a fatherless Father’s Day, and how does a mother explain it to him or her? I have no answer, because there is no easy answer. It is one more thing that a broken home/heart has to cope with in the raising of children. On a lighter note, once our two sons, Daniel and Joel, brought tears to my eye, singing: “Today, Father, is Father’s Day and we’re getting you a tie. It’s not very much, it’s just our way of telling you: We think you’re a wonderful guy. You say we really didn’t have to bother. But it was no bother or fuss, ‘Cause according to our mother you’re our father, And that’s good enough for us; yes, that’s good enough for us!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you for starting last Friday with a good laugh. After reading “City Council Shocked By Centennial Spending Plans,” I had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't April Fool's Day. As funny as the $7.8 million proposed budget was--the $5 million budgeted for this giant "pat on our own back" is almost funnier. As a small Beverly Hills retailer who still scrambles every day to make a profit, I'll be happy to close my doors and take that $25/hr. job as a Centennial retail store employee. Mike Campbell, Beverly Hills ****** The members of the City Council aren’t the only ones shocked by the Centennial spending plans. I am too! The proposed $7.8 million budget works out to more than $200 per citizen. What is this vast sum going to be used for? Who is going to benefit from the proposed activities? Even if taxpayers don’t have to pay a penny of the budget–and I sure hope we don’t!—there are so many pressing needs in the City, from schools to sidewalks to streets to parks, where this money could be so much better spent. I hope a more realistic plan and budget can be prepared soon. Daniel Fink, Beverly Hills ****** As a Canadian who flew to California to support the Beverly Hills Back Draft Ball this past Tuesday, it was interesting that few to none of the local acting community showed to support the local fire department. As “first responders,” I doubt very much they will ever help Torontians such as I (well, maybe our mayor at the moment...); however, if a table of Canadian VIPs can show up, what about members of the local entertainment industry? I could have brought Sheila McCarthy or Dan Ackroyd with me! Ron Kilius, Toronto

TROPHY PRESENTATION–Following the Beverly Hills Polo Club’s (right in brown) 5-3 victory in the Celebrity Cup Polo Match For Charity, the trophy presentation was made by Michael Farah (center, white shirt), “El Patron” and owner of the Celebrity Ranch Polo Club (left in green) and director of the Celebrity Foundation for Children. He joined The Courier’s Clifton Smith, his wife, Candace, and Edward Lozzi, Beverly Hills public relations executive, in the festivities.Courier Photo by Glen Lipton
