Virginia Robinson Gardens Hosting Elegant Afternoon Tea This Month

By Laura Coleman Imagine having high tea at a stunning Beverly Hills estate a century ago.

Well, three times this month the community can actually experience just what it would have been like to indulge in such an elegant affair at the historic Virginia Robinson Gardens.

On June 21, 23 and 26, the Friends of Robinson Gardens are inviting members of the community to join them for an elegant afternoon tea in the garden at the onetime home of Virginia and Harry Robinson.

“Mrs. Robinson had a very large collection of china from all of the top creators, including Dresden, Minton, Geo Smith & Co, and Limoges,” described longtime Friends member Adrienne Horwitch, who has taken the lead on organizing the afternoon teas.

Hearkening back to the opulence of another era when elegant entertaining was the norm at these beautiful estates,

Virginia Robinson’s exquisite collection of porcelain and china (including her regal wedding china) will be on display in the Library at the Gardens for this unique afternoon tea series.

“She loved to travel and had china dishes with cables painted on them,” added Horwitch. “Their wedding china was created for her and hand signed and a beautiful blue and gold pattern. There were many flower patterns and

many golden painted sets as well.”

In addition to being able to experience the botanical gardens in full bloom in the gardens of this 107-year-old estate, guests will dine on delectable tea sandwiches, scones and an array of delicate sweets by caterer Joe Monteferrante.

Tickets are $75; $45 for Children under 14. Visit www.robinsongardens.org or call 310-550-2068.

By Victoria Talbot Reality TV star Farrah Abraham, 27, best known for her role as “Teen Mom,” called herself a “public punching bag” in a Twitter post response to her arrest Tuesday evening at The Beverly Hills Hotel. “The hotel truly allowed misconduct by staff to a paying guest.

There’s no need for me or anyone else to be treated this way.

The Beverly Hills Police officers should stop having power trips and lying and selling stories to TMZ.” Abraham said she was “targeted” by the hotel, where she was a guest.

Abraham was booked for battery and trespassing, said Beverly Hills Public Information Officer Lt. Elisabeth Albanese. Police were called to The Beverly Hills Hotel at about 1:20 a.m. “for some kind of disturbance.”

Abraham “was yelling.”

“A security guard tried to calm her and she became irate,” said Albanese. “She left the property and tried to come back.” That is when she allegedly assaulted the man.

In a press release, Albanese wrote: “A male adult hotel security officer reported that he asked Abraham to leave the hotel after she refused to

disengage from a verbal altercation with hotel guests. The security officer reported that Abraham struck him in the face with her forearm, grabbed his ear and pushed him in the face as he attempted to prevent her from re-entering the hotel.

Officers noted that Abraham exhibited signs of intoxication during the investigation."

TMZ reports that there is video of the altercation.

Abraham tweeted that she had spent the day as a guest at the hotel to celebrate her daughter’s birthday.

Abraham was released on misdemeanor charges, with a $500 bail. “She’ll be in court in August,” said Albanese.

Beverly Hills Fire Department Responds To Benedict Canyon Blaze

By Victoria Talbot A blaze that scorched an estimated 40 acres near homes on Portola Drive, Yoakum Drive and Benedict Canyon Drive may have been started by a contractor using a weed wacker to clear brush for the fire season at a home in the 9800 block of Portola Drive around 2 p.m. Tuesday, said LAFD spokesperson Margaret Stewart.

“This serves as a reminder to residents to only use licensed contractors who follow the safety requirements to include no metal blades and extinguishing agent at hand,” said Stewart.

“The exhaust manifold can get very hot and is the likely cause of the fire.”

Beverly Hills Fire Chief Greg Barton sent one engine and a battalion at the start of the blaze, which at its height, was being fought by over 250 firefighters from the air and the ground.

There were five water dropping helicopters on scene and four fixed wing aircraft dropping retardants.

Approximately 86 homes were

under evacuation orders. Benedict Canyon was closed as was part of Mulholland Drive from Benedict Canyon to Beverly Glen Canyon.

Closures were lifted by 8 p.m.

The blaze, which was on the border of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, did not cause any damage to structures, but two firefighters were injured.

One firefighter suffered heat exhaustion, the other suffered a minor burn injury, according to the LAFD website.

Firefighters continued to monitor the area, which was within a perimeter marked by San Ysidro Drive, Yoakum Drive and Benedict Canyon Drive.

Light winds and a conversion layer that reduced temperatures and increased humidity, along with the speedy and aggressive efforts of firefighters contained the fire within hours.

As of Thursdsay, firefighters were still dousing hot spots, but the fire was about 80 percent contained.

Lemonade Stand Game Still Strong In Beverly Hills

By Laura Coleman Beverly Vista Students Alyla Crow and Grace Thorpe (upcoming sixth graders) and Ella Thorpe (upcoming fourth grader) are thirsty to begin a life of entrepreneurship, so they decided to kick off summer vacation by helping their neighbors beat the heat with an old fashioned lemonade stand using fresh Beverly Hills lemons from a neighbor’s trees.

At $2 a cup ($1.50 for refills), the girls are planning to use the money they make this summer for school supplies.

They said they’re also planning on making a donation to an animal charity.

“When we sell a lot of lemonade, a lot of it’s going to go to an animal charity,” confirmed Ella, who came up with the idea for the lemonade stand together with her friends as something to do in their free time.

“If you want to get off your devices for the day or the weekend, it’s really great to have a lemonade stand,” she added.

Beit T’Shuvah Presenting Almost, Maine, A Play Designed To Give Addicts, Alcoholics The Chance To Discover A New Life For the past three decades, Beit T’Shuvah has been helping addicts and alcoholics recover their passion and discover a purpose in life.

On Saturdays (June 16 and 23 at 8 p.m.) and Sunday (June 17 at 3 p.m.), the group will present, Almost, Maine, a work by playwright John Cariani, who wanted to harness the creativity of those recovering from addiction by helping them participate in something they probably never thought they would—acting in a play.

Pat Train Gage

Almost, Maine, a series of nine vignettes about love, will be performed at the Pacific Resident Theatre, 703 Venice Blvd., Venice.

For tickets, call 310-8228392 or visit https://app.artspeople.com/index.php?ticketing=prtv.

As Pat Gage and Barbara Tell, the play’s director/producers put it: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Gage goes on to say, “It is my hope that participation in this production will teach the residents and graduates of Beit T’Shuvah a new dance and that saying ‘yes’ to the positive things in life is an umbrella.”

Nearly 700 gathered at Tower Cancer Research Foundation’s Tower of Hope Gala last month at The Beverly Hilton to honor Lisa and Larry Rosenstein, Randi and Warren Grant, and Dr. Alan Wayne for their ongoing commitment to raising awareness about cancer, and their dedication to ending the disease.

Colin Egglesfield (All My Children, The Client List, Rizzoli and Isles and the upcoming film Backtrace with Sylvester Stallone) recounted how he developed a friendship with pediatric oncologist Dr. Alan Wayne, before presenting him with his award.

The children of honorees Lisa and Larry Rosenstein and Randi and Warren Grant praised their parents’ work before presenting them their respective awards.

Erin Cummings, breast cancer survivor who garnered international visibility when she starred on the Starz flagship series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, served as emcee.

Margo Rey, cancer survivor

and an eight time Billboard top 20 recording artist entertained the crowd with a rendition of “At Last,” among others.

Several cancer survivors in attendance who have benefitted from Tower’s research and patient support service told their personal stories.

The event raised more than $1.25 million and four individual research grants totaling $1.2 million were awarded.

Tower’s first ever $1 million grant to a sole investigator was awarded to City of Hope’s Dr. Xiaochun Yu as part of Tower’s new Power of Precision Campaign for his work focusing on ADP-ribosylation and cancer therapy.

This grant will explore how to use a weakness of cancer cells to target DNA damage repair pathways, and develop novel chemotherapeutic approaches.

Based in Beverly Hills since 1996, Tower provides grants for research, patient support and community education to promote more effective treatments for cancer.

Providence Saint John’s Health Center To Present Community Forum, ‘What We Know About Cancer’ Cancer affects lives, but newer therapies like immunotherapy are having a significant effect on cancer survival for a number of cancers including: melanoma/other skin cancers, lung cancer, breast cancer, bladder/kidney cancer, uterine/ovarian cancer, liver/bile duct cancers and brain cancer.

At the same time, prevention and early detection activities are making progress in reducing the number of new cases as well as finding cancers early when survival rates are higher.

Beverly Hills Library Is Gateway To Success For Local Youth

By Laura Coleman From the time that he was three years old, Ziane Djenidi has been going to the Beverly Hills Public Library.

It’s that very experience of being around books that Ziane, who will enter Hamilton High School as a freshman this fall, credits for his early academic success.

Recently he was recognized for “outstanding academic excellence” by the President’s Education Awards Program.

It’s an academic achievement accolade he adds to others he has received over the years, including being recognized last year by Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE (Continued from page 1)

doubling high definition security CCTV cameras, increasing the use of automated license plate readers (ALP) to aid in the apprehension of criminals, and a DNA lab on site.

The City will soon have 143 officers, said Spagnoli, reassuring residents that, “Criminals don’t want to come here; they know they’ll get caught.”

Data-driven policing, which scientifically sorts data collected over time, helps the Department to deploy resources to areas that need it, based on predictable crime patterns, to prevent crime.

Geographic policing, said Coopwood, will leave a team of officers in place for a sixmonth rotation, leading to a deeper relationship and understanding of that quadrant of the community. Volunteer policing is a force-multiplier the Department plans to increase.

Mayor Gold followed with a discussion of the upcoming Keeping California Safe Act, endorsed by the entire City Council, which will reassign

JONATHAN ARTAL (Continued from page 1)

Scholarship finalist earlier this year.

Throughout the length of his time on the board, Artal has distinguished himself both by his poise as well as his steadfast commitment to representing the student voice.

Indeed, he maintained his conviction that student voices are paramount, even repeatedly disagreeing with Superintendent Michael Bregy when the school district leader clearly opted to not take Artal’s recommendation to include students as part of the Future Focused Schools Teams.

“You have put everything possible into this position [and] you have stepped up in every single way,” Bregy told Artal at last week’s board meeting.

“You certainly helped me in my

“The library helped me with reading quickly and that helped me study,” said Ziane, who spent three days a week at the BHPL until the third grade, when his family moved closer to a different library. “I can skim really quickly.”

Ziane said he dreams of one day working in the medical field, perhaps becoming a doctor. This summer he will be volunteering at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. criminal behaviors to “violent” status and increase jail time for what he called “real crimes,” such as “assault on a police officer, serial arson, rape of an unconscious person and assault with a bomb that doesn’t go off.” He asked voters to consider their vote carefully.

Gold talked about his Strategic Planning Committee, still in its infancy, but with the lofty goal of helping Beverly Hills plan the future of the entire commercial zone. The mayor cautioned that the boom the City is currently experiencing could be affected by retail’s decline. Citing an aging population, he reiterated his theme of attracting young people to Beverly Hills and adding elements that will keep the City relevant and prosperous into the future.

The meeting also included the election of the slate for the Board of Governors, in addition to White, including James Blakeley, Woodrow Wilson Clark, II, Ph. D., Susan Choueke, Jerry Dobkin, Fred A. Fenster, Christine Skirmuntt Ford, Julia Joseph, Rhoda Sherman, Steven Weinglass and Allyson Wittner. first year (as superintendent) more than you will every know.”

All board members likewise lauded Artal’s contributions to board meetings.

“I think you’ve set an alltime record for the standard of performance in your seat,” said board member Mel Spitz.

“I think you’ve brought tremendous wisdom [and] a lot of passion,” added board member Isabel Hacker. “You’re so thoughtful in every answer and every thought you provide.”

“You did things that other board members over the years just haven’t done,” said board member Howard Goldstein, underscoring how effectively Artal was able to communicate to students.

“You’re remarkably bright and thoughtful and patient,” summed up Board President Lisa Korbatov.

State Supreme Court Won’t Hear Case Of Man Convicted Of Girlfriend’s Murder In Beverly Hills

By Matt Lopez The California Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to review the case against a man convicted of slitting his girlfriend's throat in her Beverly Hills apartment, where she survived long enough to write his initials in her own blood.

James Duane Grzeslo was convicted in August 2016 of first-degree murder in the Oct. 26, 2011 killing of Cathy Carrasco-Zanini, 58.

Jurors concurred with the allegation that Grzeslo used a knife to commit the crime.

While Carrasco-Zanini

was dying, however, she managed to crawl down a hallway and write her boyfriend’s initials – JG – in her own blood, Deputy District Attorney Keri Modder said after the verdict.

Police were called to the woman's apartment in the 100 block of North Hamilton Drive in Beverly Hills after Grzeslo told a therapist he was having nightmares that he had killed his girlfriend, the prosecutor said. Police arrived and found Carrasco-Zanini with her throat slit.

The couple had been having problems and were going to therapy together, the prose-

cutor said.

Grzeslo was sentenced in September 2016 to 26 years to life in state prison.

In March, a three-justice panel from California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal rejected the defense’s contention that the trial court erred in failing to hold a hearing to determine if Grzeslo was competent to act as his own attorney and in admitting statements he made to co-workers about slitting the throats of enemy soldiers in Vietnam, where he had never actually served.

Starpoint Reportedly Paying $200M for Wells Fargo Building

Santa Monica Conservancy Holds Annual Salon At Craftsman Aeroplane Bungalow

By Victoria Talbot Starpoint Properties is reportedly buying the Wells Fargo Bank building at 433 N. Camden Drive for about $200 million.

With Wells Fargo as the anchor tenant, the building is one of three 12-story buildings in Beverly Hills. The other two are at 9401 and 9701 Wilshire Blvd. It is a 207,400 square foot Class A building.

Other tenants include Beverly Hills Dermatology Consultants, Barrister Executive Suites, Inc. and Walker Corporate Law Group.

Bob Safai and Tony Ranger of Beverly Hills-based Madison Partners had the listing. Sources confirm the deal has not yet closed, and The Real Deal reports that non-refundable deposit has been made.

Safai reports he has brokered more sales than any other commercial broker in Beverly Hills, including 9401, 9777 and 9701 Wilshire Blvd.. 468 Camden Dr., 120 Spalding Dr. and 9440 Santa Monica Blvd.

By Victoria Talbot Members and friends gathered Sunday afternoon for the Santa Monica Conservancy’s 2018 Salon at the beautifully restored Craftsman Aeroplane Bungalow.

The 1912 Santa Monica home is a rare variant of Craftsman design in Santa Monica, featuring a small second story that resembles the cockpit of an antique aircraft.

The space is filled with light and air, with a compelling view and a wonderful, peaceful aura.

The owners and hosts, Anita and Alan Eskovitz, bought the home in 2013. At the time, it had been painted white. The floors sagged and the original knob and tube wiring was still in place and in use.

The owners studied Craftsman bungalows in Pasadena.

From those prototypes, they were able to restore their beautiful 1912 home.

To rehabilitate the residence, the house had to be structurally reinforced with a sturdy foundation and newly created electrical and plumbing systems.

They spent a year recreating the Craftsman interiors, restoring the main rooms, replicating the original woodwork, wood sash windows, built-in buffet and floors. A tile artist was engaged to recreate a Craftsman-style fireplace, as the original tile was gone.

In 2017, the project earned the Preservation Award from the Santa Monica Conservancy.

Madison Partners specializes in leasing and sales throughout the Westside area with clients throughout Southern California.

“It’s one of the best buildings in the Beverly Hills Triangle,” said one source.

Starpoint CEO Paul Daneshrad is considered an expert in the real estate investment community. He speaks at national conferences, is frequently quoted by and has written articles for several real estate publications including: Net Lease Forum, Multi-Family Executive, California Real Estate Journal, Multi-Housing News, National Real Estate Investor, Real Estate Southern California, and Commercial Property News.

Sunday, guests were able to move freely through the home and garden. Outside, acoustic sounds graced the pool area. On display were the many historic seating spaces that faced the garden, which was richly enhanced with an array of kitchen garden plantings.

The kitchen overflowed with casual grazing as guests flowed through the house, enjoying the sliders, fine cheeses with garnishes and other scrumptious offerings.

Outside, wine was being served liberally.

The hosts discussed their experiences restoring the property.

The weather cooperated to make a perfect day.

All proceeds from the event benefit the educational programs of the Santa Monica Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the public understanding and appreciation of the cultural, social and economic benefits of preservation.

From the Shangri-La Hotel to the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica is a treasure trove of historic properties. Over 80 properties have been designated or are listed to be designated as landmark properties.

Since it was founded in 2002 following a grass-roots effort to preserve the City’s cultural heritage ordinance, the Conservancy has brought awareness and education to the community, sponsoring historic tours and working with residents to protect historic homes and buildings.

Adam Fleiner Of Fleiner Automotive Co. Prides Himself On Being ‘The Guy’ For Car Owners S top us if you’ve heard this one before – you’re standing around with friends or family, talking about the latest repairs needed on your vehicle.

One friend will inevitably chime in about the “guy” he knows, who is the best of the best. “Take it to my guy, tell him I sent you,” is a phrase most car owners have either said, or heard, at some point in their life.

So how does one become the “guy” who is turned to when a driver is in desperate need of repairs?

Adam Fleiner of Fleiner Automotive Co. said it all comes down to good customer service.

“Ever yone has their guy they swear by,” Fleiner said. “This industry is about loyalty. Car owners are loyal people, if they find someone who does right by them, they will be come back and tell their friends and family.”

Fleiner added: “You never really know how important it is until you’ve experienced a bad body shop, one who doesn’t take care of you. There’s a lot of sharks out there.”

Fleiner Automotive Co. prides itself on taking care of drivers, and has done so for more than 60 years.

Fleiner continues that tradition now at his shop’s new location at 3443 W. 43rd St. in Los Angeles.

rescind the City Council’s approvals.

Measure H failed by a very narrow margin, and the Waldorf Astoria has been built.

Then in 2016, Oasis West Realty came back with an initiative that would combine Buildings A and B into one 26-story tower.

The initiative was defeated.

Hilton’s owner Beny Alagem is now returning with another modified project, this time entailing a 23story project in lieu of the 8-story and 18-story condominium buildings. This project is going through the planning process, which begins with the Draft Supplemental EIR. At Tuesday’s meeting, attended by approximately 22 people, several of the attendees expressed their concerns about the project.

One person, Tom Roberts, who said he is an architect, asked if the Supplemental EIR included the element of “profit increase.” Gohlich responded that “no, environmental impacts are not fiscal, unless blight is created,” in a project.

What will be addressed, according to the Rincon Consultants, are many of the changes that have occurred in the ten years since the project was approved, and the potential impacts of those cumulative changes.

For example, One Beverly Hills at 9900 Wilshire Blvd., with the hotel element and traffic changes from its 2008 approvals would be considered.

Other impacts could include

graduate of Beverly Hills High School, said that over the years, he’s realized the importance of making the customers feel special.

“So much of this business, and so much of my business, has been word of mouth, friends telling friends to come see me, that sort of thing,” Fleiner said.

It’s not just about growing the business, however, for Fleiner. He said above all else, he feels a duty to help those who turn to him when they are in need of repairs to their car.

“People are coming to us because they truly need help,” he said. “We like to take that extra step, whatever it is, to do whatever it takes to make people feel like they got our best effort and got their money’s worth.”

Fleiner delivers that “above and

aesthetics, such as scenic vistas that could be affected by the taller building; visual characteristics, impacts of shade and shadow; increased glare potential from windows and surfaces; air quality impacts from demolition, development and operation of the project; and cultural resources potentially impacted including the historic Beverly Hilton Hotel.

When the project was approved in 2008, the City of Beverly Hills did not have a Cultural Resources Ordinance to protect historic buildings, as well as historic street lights and signs nearby.

In addition, recently the California Geological Survey determined that there is a fault running through Beverly Hills. The fault line is south of the project, but impacts of faults were not a requirement in 2008.

Traffic studies will also have to be conducted to reflect current conditions and proposed development.

A new General Plan was introduced in 2010, and the project must be assessed to see if it complies with the requirements of the General Plan.

That plan also included a noise element, that must be assessed. It must meet water conservation requirements which have changed since 2015.

The Supplemental EIR (SEIR) will consider the impacts and alternatives yet to be determined, based on the analysis of the project, to lessen or mitigate potential impacts.

The SEIR will be released sometime in the late summer or early fall, which will trigger at least a 45-day

Lately, Fleiner says, his shop has been doing a lot of classic car restorations, from a ‘57 Thunderbird to a 1973 Mercedes Benz for a loyal customer in Culver City. The mid-90’s Land Rover Defender, Fleiner says, has been making a comeback as well.

“A lot of these great, classic cars are making a comeback and being restored by a new generation,” Fleiner said, joking that the “hipsters” are leading the restoration resurgence.

One of Fleiner’s current favorite projects is working on Tesla’s.

“We work with a company that does tuning for Tesla, more or less body tuning, body kits, interiors,”

period of public comment. In the late fall or early winter, it will be sent to the Planning Commission and then to City Council.

During each step of the process, there will be significant opportunity for public input.

“How is this still an approved plan,” asked one resident. Gohlich explained that the plan that was approved in 2008 is still in place.

The attempted HH initiative in 2016 had no impact on the approved plan. The owner, Oasis West, has a “vested right to those approvals.”

The plan that is being presented, “is not approved. It’s simply a proposal.”

“Anyone can petition the government for changes in the law to change the approvals,” said Gohlich.

“The City is obligated to review it.

Our job is to review the project and provide decision-makers with the best information possible so they can make informed decisions. The City doesn’t decide what a private property owner submits to the City.”

Roberts the followed up by confronting City staff about the architectural renderings submitted by the developer. Roberts said that he “doesn’t understand why they are being allowed to bring pictures that are inaccurate… They’re confusing the people here,” he said.

Architectural renderings are provided by the applicant and are “an artist’s concept” of the architectural plans, said Gohlich. Roberts called the renderings, “bait and switch.”

Email comments on the project to cgordon@beverlyhills.org.

Fleiner said. “We do all their exterior painting. We’re seeing a lot of Tesla’s coming in lately and that’s been some fun stuff to work on.”

Fleiner is currently renovating his fully-staffed showroom, which he says should be completed within the next three months.

In addition to its body work, Fleiner Automotive also includes a boutique sales and consignment wing and assists customers in leasing cars.

For the vintage, classic car lovers, Fleiner is putting the finishing touches on a vintage neon sign that he says will be up on the building within the next 50 days.

Fleiner Automotive Co. is located at 3443 W 43rd St. Los Angeles, CA. 90008. For more information, call 424-288-4111 or visit www.fleinerautomotiveco.com.

Fire Officials Warn of Dangerous Brush Fire Season Ahead Southland fire officials issued dire warnings Thursday about the upcoming fire season, saying they are preparing for daily outbreaks of vegetation blazes and calling on residents to act now to clear brush around homes and other structures.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl Osby and other fire officials also reminded residents that they need to do their part to prevent fires from erupting.

“Over 90 percent of wildland fires are created by humans,” Osby said.

He said dry conditions and warm weather will likely mean daily brush fire calls, with blazes potentially scorching hundreds of acres at a time over the next month, and even larger beginning in July.

“In the months of July and September, as our fuels begin to dry, we are expecting to have fires from 1,500 acres to 5,000 acres, and that includes no wind,” Osby said. “Typically around September-October is when we start Santa Ana wind events in Southern California.”

Osby said the county expects to again have heavy-duty firefighting aircraft available beginning in mid-August, when the Erickson Skycrane water- dropping helicopter will be put in service locally. On Sept. 1, SuperScooper aircraft from Canada will arrive.

Thom Porter, chief of the southern region for Cal Fire, said that active fire seasons should now be considered normal in California.

“You as citizens all need to be prepared,” Porter said. "You need to do the things that you need to do to provide the defense so we can provide the offense.”

HAPPY HOUR IN BEVERLY HILLS

Cheers! Where To Enjoy Happy Hour In Beverly Hills T

here’s nothing quite like the feeling of sitting down to an ice cold beverage and delicious food after a long day at work.

Especially when those delectable dishes and drinks are half price.

Happy Hour is alive and well in Beverly Hills and there’s no shortage of great places to park yourself at for a couple of hours after work.

Here is a compilation of some of great local Happy Hour options:

Lucky Seven Happy Hour special offers seven small bites, cocktails and wines that are $7 until 7 p.m. Tap beer is $5 and tap cocktails are $8. Citizen’s Mai Tai, featuring Denizan Merchant’s Reserve 8-year rum, is a Happy Hour favorite, as is the new Porcupine.

Specialty cocktails featuring George Clooney’s Casamigos Tequila are available at The Peninsula’s Terrace Happy Hour.

Avec Nous Located inside the Viceroy L’Ermitage, Avec Nous’ Cocktail Hour offers small bites, wine, beer and specialty cocktails such as The Boulevardier (bourbon, campari, vemouth) or Paloma (tequila, grapefruit, lime) – all under $10 – from 4-7 p.m.

The Beverly Hilton Specials on appetizers, draft beer, select wine and specialty cocktails are offered Monday through Thursday at CIRCA 55, the Aqua Star Pool and the Lobby Lounge.

Caffe Roma One of the more underrated Happy Hours perhaps in all of West L.A., this North Canon Drive Italian eatery offers a variety of snacks, seafood, pasta and pizza, all under $10.

One of the local favorites is the Margherita pizza with tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil. Offered all day Monday-Wednesday and 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Citizen’s ‘Porcupine’ • 2 oz. Serrano infused tequila • 1 oz. fresh lime juice • 0.5 oz. citrus agave • handful muddled cucumber/basil Shake all ingredients together well with ice and pour into double rocksstyle glass filled with ice. Add garnish of your choosing. Pictured above is a flaming half-lime shell.

Be careful trying this at home!

Frida Mexican Food For a more casual Happy Hour experience, Frida on South Beverly Drive offers $4 beer and house wine, $5 sangria and $6 margaritas from 3-6 p.m. during the week.

Caulfield’s The SIXTY Beverly Hills’ vintage themed bar and dining room offers several classic cocktails, including the Marilyn Monroeinspired drink, The Misfit, or the Ginger in the Rye, for $10 weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m., which pair well alongside a variety of $6 small bites and $2 oysters.

Grill On The Alley

Known for being a top-flight steakhouse, The Grill On The Alley also has pretty solid Happy Hour offerings. Food starts at $10 with items such as Kobe sidekicks or Ahi Fish Tacos, and $6 for cocktails like the Moscow Mule.

Appetizer specials cooked over a flaming charcoal grill at each table make this a can’t-miss Happy Hour experience. Happy Hour is offered a la carte or with a two-for-$50 Happy Hour three-course meal option, offered all-day Monday, noon-6:30 p.m.

Tuesday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Friday-Sunday.

DINA LEEDS AND PETER MULLIN ON GIVING BACK

Dina Leeds, Big-Hearted Philanthropist With Style, Grace And Love To Spare Bel-Air resident Dina Leeds opens up to Beverly Hills Style about philanthropy, family, and the need to give back

F

or Dina Leeds, doing her part to make the world a better place comes naturally.

From volunteering on the boards of the Los Angeles Ballet, the Builders of Jewish Education and StandWithUs to serving as president of the American Friends of Magen David Adom (AFMDA) Western Region and co-chairing this year’s Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust’s annual gala dinner on Dec. 3, there seems to be no end in sight to Dina’s philanthropic endeavors.

“When anybody tells you what his or her charity is doing, if you’re human, it’s impossible not to have a heart for it,” Dina explained.

Born in Egypt, Dina’s family fled the country when she was just 2-years-old following 1967’s SixDay War. After a six-month stint in Italy, the family moved to the Fairfax area in Los Angeles, enticed by the strong Jewish community. Starting over from scratch, Dina’s mom worked three to four jobs, instilling in her daughter an incredible respect for hard work. Bolstered by her parents’ strong work ethic, Dina said that by the time she was 26 years old, she’d made her first million dollars.

“My husband has this saying, ‘The harder I work, the luckier I get,’” she said of the love of her life, Fred

Leeds, with whom she shares seven children.

When the Leeds moved into Bel-Air just over two decades ago, people frequently approached Dina to ask if they could hold an event in her home.

“To me it just felt like throwing a dinner; and that wasn’t a big deal,” she described of the affairs she hosted three times a week for several years. “To me it was having guests, making them aware of an important cause and doing whatever good we could do with what we had.”

She highlighted the upcoming Holocaust Museum gala honoring Lord Daniel Finkelstein and her friend Mona Golabek, a world-renowned concert pianist and author of The Children of Willesden Lane about her mother's experience with the Kindertransport, as a critical event to commemorate the past.

“I think real philanthropy has to do with looking at the world in the way it relates to children,” she said, underscoring the importance of teaching her own children the value of giving back.

“Maybe why I’m involved in philanthropy is because I know there’s no difference between me and anyone else,” she added.

Circa Beverly Hills Is Haven For Estate Gems, Jewelry

T

here’s something intensely magical about diamonds for Soheila Jalali, who joined Circa in 2017 as the buyer at the Beverly Hills office.

“My love for gems and jewelry goes back to my childhood when I would save my weekly allowance to buy a sparkly item to own,” she described. “There’s just such a beautiful world inside diamonds.

I just love looking inside them. It’s such a mystery.”

A Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America with more than 35 years of experience in the jewelry industry, Soheila is among the elite when it comes to understanding the value of jewels. It’s a skill highly prized by Circa, which purchases jewelry from private clients and then sells to a select group Soheila Jalali of collectors via Circa’s main office in New York.

“One of the things that is very unique about us at Circa is that when we look at a piece of jewelry, if we’re interested we’ll take it right then and write a check,” Soheila said. “One of the advantages of selling to Circa is you get immediate payment, and we’re very, very competitive."

From diamond grading to antique and modern, luxury retail and estate jewelry sales, Soheila has seen the world of gems. In Beverly Hills, Soheila said she deals a lot with estate jewelry.

“I am still excited to see every piece of jewelry that my clients bring in,” she said. “Every piece is unique, and the experience is unlike any other I'd previously had. Every individual has a unique story when they are selling their jewelry.”

-Laura Coleman Page 38 | June 15, 2018

Circa jewelry buyers purchase all types of jewelry ranging from a simple Tiffany & Co. engagement ring to an entire estate of rare art deco jewelry made by famous design houses such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Buccellati to name a few. Pictured above is a Van Cleef & Arpels Marquise Diamond Ring with Invisibly-Set Sapphires (Circa 1950) and a Harry Winston 14.81 Carats Pear-Shaped Diamond Ring (Circa 1960).

After A Facelift, Refreshed Ford Theatres Set Eclectic New Season

T

he Ford Theatres are ready for their closeup.

After a $75 million renovation, the uniquely California venue in the Cahuenga Pass is in the midst of an eclectic season.

At 1,200 seats, the complex “is the most intimate of amphitheaters,” says Interim Executive Director Olga Garay-English. “Nestled in the Hollywood Hills, it’s not unusual to see deer grazing behind the stage during a performance.”

“It’s had a facelift,” says GarayEnglish, with the Zev Yaroslavsky Terrace for dining, state-of-the-art lighting towers, new dressing rooms, a stage that’s been upgraded from concrete to ipe, a Brazilian hardwood; soundproofing panels that have replaced plywood sheets, and a projection system for film screenings.

Garay-English, with more than 30 years in the arts field, was brought on board in November 2016, before the start of the nearly three-year renovation.

“L.A. County, which owns the facility, invested quite a bit of money into upgrading the physical plant

and they thought, especially Supervisor Shelia Khuel (her District 3 includes the Ford), a similar upgrading of programming was also called for,” she says.

Olga GarayWith the goal English of maintaining the Ford’s commitment to L.A.-based artists while introducing nationally and internationally recognized artists, Garay-English has curated an IGNITE @ the FORD!, series (see highlights right) “ “There‘s something for everyone,” says Khuel of the season that will conclude Oct. 28-29 with the Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre’s Loaded, performed on The Ford’s renovated loading dock.

“We’re trying to find works that stretch the imagination, are not often seen in L.A., and that have intellectual rigor; but at the same time are accessible and reflective of the cultures that make L.A. home,” says Garay-English.

HEALTH & FITNESS

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD

Must-Have Fitness Gadgets For 2018 T

here was once a time, not all that long ago, when — without a gym membership — the best option for getting a true, full-body workout was spending thousands of dollars on weight-lifting equipment for the garage.

Those days, however, are long gone. The digital age has brought with it countless new tech gadgets that make getting a great workout, or just becoming the healthiest version of yourself, easier than ever before.

The tech market is constantly evolving as apps change and update and new gadgets are released, but Beverly Hills Style has compiled some of the hottest and most sought-after health and fitness gadgets of the year.

Peloton Tread The makers of the famous Peloton Bike, which has taken the home-fitness world by storm over the last few years, are set to unveil a new, full-body Peloton workout.

The Peloton Tread will offer live, full-body training at the tap of a touch screen.

Like the Peloton Bike, the Tread will offer a similar guided fitness experience, mixing live cardio and strength workouts, along with training by top New York instructors, giving users their own private fitness studio.

According to MensHealth, which reviewed the Tread, it will – unlike the Peloton Bike – encourage users to hop off the machine for circuits of weight training exercises in between sprints.

The Peloton Tread is expected to retail for $4,000 and will be released later this fall. It is available for pre-order now at https://www.onepeloton.com/tread.

Armour HOVR

Under Armour HOVR

As far as wearable fitness tech goes, most people are used to seeing the various wristbands or headbands that are on the market.

Under Armour has taken it one step further with its new “smart shoes” called HOVR. The HOVR, which comes in low-top (the Sonic) and mid-top (the Phantom) editions, are truly designed for the heavy-duty runner. The shoes come with a built-in sensor that tracks distance, pace, stride, cadence and steps.

The bluetooth-powered sensors are in the thickest section of the midsole, protecting it in any weather.

Under Armour says the sensor, called the Record chip, was designed to outlast the life of the actual shoe. The batteries do not need to be recharged as the sensors are self-contained.

The shoes are a companion to Under Armour’s popular and free MapMyRun app, which is available for download on both iPhones and Android devices. The shoes easily pair with the app via bluetooth.

The Under Armour HOVR ranges from $110-140, depending on color and style. For more, visit: https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/ua-hovr.

Nokia Sleep There are few things as key to a good day of fitness as getting a good night of sleep the evening before your workout, so it might be prudent to track how well you’re sleeping after, or before, a day of heavy fitness.

The Nokia Sleep is one of the higher-end gadgets currently on the market, which offers sleep cycle analysis (deep, light and REM), heart rate tracking and snore detection.

Users will lay down on the Nokia Sleep, which is a sensor built into a Wi-Fi connected mattress pad that slides underneath your mattress.

The pad records sleep patterns and syncs the data to the Nokia Health Mate phone app.

For “smart home” techies, the Nokia Sleep integrates with IFTTT, an automation app that allows it to be tied to your sleep habits. That means the Nokia Sleep can be set up so that the lights go off, or temperature goes down, in the bedroom once you fall asleep (provided, of course, that they are all Wi-Fi connected).

The Nokia Sleep is available now for $99.95. To purchase, visit https://health.nokia.com/us/en/sleep.

CUISINE Award-Winning Vespertine Dazzles

S

lightly disconcerting, there’s something about dining at Vespertine that is unsettling to the point of heightening your senses. That the food is exceptional is secondary to the theatricality that surrounds the immersive hours-long experience.

A clever experiment by Chef Jordan Kahn, who just this month won the coveted Grand Prize design award from the Los Angeles Business Council, Vespertine celebrates its first anniversary next month inside the other worldly Eric Owen Mossdesigned structure.

“The goal of the restaurant is to be this Fluxian source of ideas,” Kahn told Beverly Hills Style.

Like a symphony that is more about experience than the individual notes and instruments, Vespertine offers diners a thoughtfully curated evening of molecular gastronomy.

“People go to restaurants because of food. But food is not what stays in your memory,” noted Kahn, who began his career at The French Laundry. “You just remember the experience, the time you had. It’s really a complex art form.”

Named for a flower that blooms in the evening, Vespertine is very much a

A jewel-like pea creation is both art and cuisine. convergence of food, art, architecture and music in a world entirely crafted by Kahn.

“I found this building and everything clicked,” Kahn recounted of his initial foray into Culver City’s Hayden Tract area to escape typical L.A. traffic five years ago. After returning that very evening around 3:30 a.m. and jumping the fence to explore the exterior of the distinct structure dubbed the Waffle, Kahn began returning nightly around 2:30 a.m. Eventually, he grew bold enough to remove the wood panels off the door and enter the multi-story architectural marvel that bore no resemblance to a typical restaurant.

“I couldn’t get it off my mind. I was really intrigued,” Kahn said of the building he spent four years tailoring to house Vespertine. “It’s this really powerful energy that’s hard to articulate.”

From the moment you approach the reticulated steel building, Vespertine invites diners to participate in an experience akin to theatre. Set in BEVERLY HILLS

Vespertine’s home is a building by Eric Owen Moss. rhythm to an original atmospheric instrumental score composed by L.A.based band This Will Destroy You, the evening begins with a welcome drink in a Bauhaus-type garden. Next, you are led through a gorgeous kitchen where Kahn personally greets you, explains his concept and essentially reads your “vibe” in anticipation of further personalizing the evening.

The first act enfolds on the building’s open air rooftop with spiced wine and cozy couch-like seating. A member of the sublime staff, attired in black garments made by Jona Sees, explains that the sculptural center piece on the low table illuminated by candles is actually a trio of seaweed “chips” artfully draped on a curved log. After more appetizers that likewise blur the distinction between food and art, such as a delicious biscuit of black currants and burnt onions, the journey continues in the main dining room downstairs, where more than a dozen different courses fully articulate the tasting menu-only concept.

Artfully plated on ceramics crafted

by Ryota Aoki, many made from volcanic stone, an early course of snap peas fashioned into a large green shimmering jewel sets the stage for this second act, which includes an optional pairing of wines or juices. Perhaps the most curious dish is one that is served entirely hidden from view in its ceramic home, where the creamy rice pudding with crab is a total surprise.

Following a flight of desserts, the final act of Kahn’s sublime visual and culinary narrative returns you to the outdoor garden where you first began, this time with coffee, liqueurs and sweets. The smell of incense wafts from your own particular space in the mazelike concrete garden draped in foliage while you gaze with newfound understanding at the exoskeleton of oxidized metal in which you just indulged.

Justify Dominates Belmont Stakes To Win Triple Crown

Justify with trainer Bob Baffert (front, red tie) and family and friends after the Preakness.

Justify became the 13th horse in history to win racing's coveted Triple Crown with an electrifying triumph in the 150th Belmont Stakes on Saturday.

In adding the Belmont to his Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes victories, the unbeaten Justify made Bob Baffert just the second trainer to saddle two Triple Crown winners.

Drawn in the unfavorable first post, Justify burst from the gate under jockey Mike Smith and never trailed in the 1 1/2 mile race dubbed the “Test of the Champion.”

Despite drawing the rail, Justify went off as a 4-5 favorite and more than lived up to his billing.

Justify's Triple Crown feat came 45 years to the day after another physically imposing chestnut, Secretariat, broke from the first post and won the Belmont by a stunning 31 lengths to complete the Triple Crown.

Justify improved to 6-0 in a racing career that only began on Feb. 18. The only other unbeaten Triple Crown winner was Seattle Slew in 1977.

Young Musicians Foundation Awarded California Arts Council’s ‘Arts Education: Extension’ Grant The California Arts Council has announced its plans to award $15,300 to the Young Musicians Foundation (YMF) as part of its Arts Education: Extension program.

As a segment of the California Arts Council Arts Education grant opportunities, extension grants support arts education programs for pre-K students that operate after school and during the summer, on school sites, in artistic ven-

ues, and in community settings.

The program’s intention is to offer young people sequential, hands-on training in artistic disciplines, including dance, literary arts, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts.

The YMF will use the grant for after-school instrumental and vocal programs at Para Los Niños Elementary and Middle schools, and New Los Angeles Charter Elementary and Middle schools.

“We are grateful to the California Arts Council for choosing to partner with YMF,” said Executive Director Walter Zooi. “Their support is crucial in making it possible to deliver these life-changing programs.”

The Young Musicians Foundation is one of 169 grantees chosen for the Arts Education: Extension program.

The award was featured as part of a larger announcement from the California Arts Council.

After 70 Years, A Hawthorne School Third Grade Class Sets A Reunion School bonds seem to last forever. A group of five Hawthorne School third-graders are planning a reunion—70 years after first becoming friends. ”Most of us have not seen each other in decades,” says Alice Lynn, one of the reunion organizers.

This is the first reunion of the group—at least 28 are expected— that will meet at 1 p.m., Monday, June 18 at the school.

Attendees will enjoy a tour with Principal Sarah Kaber.

“There’s no question that we will find the classrooms were smaller than memory recalls,” says Lynn.

Festivities will also include a party and dinner. The invitation jokes there’s also a “jump rope contest at 5 p.m. with medical waiver required.”

“Our classmates were and are memorable,” says Lynn. They include: • Cynthia Brown, daughter of Johnny Mack Brown, who in the 1940’s, was a famous movie star in Westerns; • Ted Tanaka, who entered

second grade after spending three years interred at the Manzanar Camps, was the only minority student in his class, and rose to develop his own international business consulting firm; • Jessica Perrin Silvers, who recently retired as a Superior Court of Los Angeles County judge and is the daughter of Nat Perrin, Hollywood writer and producer who wrote for the Marx Brothers; • Ron George, who became chief justice of the California Supreme Court;

• Bruce Carroll, who was a producer at ABC news for 28 years; • Marilyn Lederman, who became a professor of social entrepreneurship at UCLA; • Arthur Kraus, who founded Capital Intelligence Associates, and was inducted into the American College of Financial Services Alumni Hall of Fame.

• Steve Reed, whose father was actor Alan Reed; • Kate Edelman Johnson, film producer and daughter of film producer Louis Edelman, who after her husband’s death,

supported research on the prevention and cure of Alzheimer’s; • Sally Kincaid, who became a rabbi, and • Architect Ron Goldman, who has advised both the California Coastal Commission and the City of Malibu on commercial and residential design standards.

Lynn herself went on to become a therapist in Santa Monica for more than 45 years.

The Calamigos Ranch in Malibu was the perfect rustic, outdoor setting for the John Wayne Cancer Institute to stage its 33rd annual Odyssey Ball last Saturday. The event, which was organized by Martha Harper and Shirley Lipstone, raised about $500,000 for cancer research, treatment, and education at the institute.

Kate Flannery of NBC-TV’s The Office, was the hilarious emcee. The prime honoree was Lewis Howes, a self-help guru and best selling author, who received the group’s Generation of Hope Humanitarian Award from Anita Swift, John Wayne’s granddaughter and the retiring, longterm president of the JWCI Auxiliary.

Anita, who will be succeeded in her position by Martha Harper, honored the organization’s 14 past presidents with the Trailblazer Award for their efforts which have raised more than $20 million for the cause.

The western ranch venue was a terrific backdrop for the saloon games which preceded the dinner, awards and dancing. Scott Mauro Entertainment, Inc. once again produced the event of behalf of the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center. ******

The 1980s supermodel-turned-actress Kelly Le Brock came by the Beverly Hills Women’s Club to help launch Safe Passage’s new “Time2Heal” initiative for all victims of abuse, bullying and violence.

Kelly first gained fame as the face of Pantene Shampoo commercials and later appeared in such hit feature films as The Woman In Red and Weird Science before leaving Hollywood behind to raise her three children on a farm outside Santa Barbara.

Other speakers and professionals shared their stories on the subject including Dr. Jay Faber, a brain specialist from Amen Clinic; actor CJ Valleroy; and actress/minister Lee Benton. ******

ECF LUNCHEON–At the Exceptional Children’s Foundation luncheon at Killer Shrimp Restaurant in Marina Del Rey, the Los Angeles Rams was among the businesses honored for hiring and supporting ECF clients with developmental disabilities.

Now, in its 24th year, the Palm Springs International ShortFest–the not-so-little-sister of Jamuary’s Palm Springs International Film Festival–has announced it’s summer lineup.

Beginning Tuesday and running through June 25 at the Palm Springs Cultural Center, this will showcase 333 films from 62 countries around the globe including 42 world premieres.

There are 55 curated programs, which will screen while more than 5,300 submissions designated by AMPAS, BAFTRA and BIFA, will be available in the film market for industry to view.

Festival attendees can hear from a diverse group of industry pros who are ready to meet to hear sales pitches. There is even a class and workshop on “How to Pitch Like A Pro” amid the schedule of seminars, panel discussions and roundtables, all staged free of charge for attending filmmakers. ****** First it was the groves’ date palms, and now it’s the golf courses. Slowly but surely we are seeing the demise of what made the Desert unique.

Money, of course, is the reason for the shift in the Desert’s focus as members of Palm Desert Country Club, one of our area’s oldest greens, recently voted to rezone its now defunct 9-hole executive course to a development for 69 condominimums.

Since the closure of the club’s smaller than normal course about four years ago, PD Holdings (the new owner of the course), has argued that the golf course business is financially unsustainable and something new must be built in its place.

Of course, the neighbors who purchased their homes because of the golf preserved their privacy and mountain views, object to the proposed building plan.

Two late. The rezoning has been approved by a 3-2 vote of the Palm Desert City Council.

The un-approving homeowners have yet to be satisfied, in spite of being provided with renderings with ample ‘green space.’

Could be that the owner’s green belt is really a money belt.

SUMMONS (CITATION JUDICIAL)

Section 2. On April 11, 2018 a referendum petition was filed concerning ordinance number 18O-2751 ("Referendum"). The Referendum petition contained 2966 signatures. To qualify for the ballot in Beverly Hills, the referendum petition was only required to obtain 2080 signatures.

Therefore, the referendum passed the "Prima Facie" count of the City Clerk and ordinance number 18-O-2751 was suspended.

Section 3. On May 1, 2018 the City Council took further testimony regarding 1184 Loma Linda Drive. The City Council learned that additional conditions were to be placed on the construction management plan and determined that the residence complied with the building code and was "by right". The City Council also directed that an ordinance be prepared to exempt the development from the provisions of ordinance number 18-O-2751 in the event that the City Clerk determined that the Referendum did not have enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Chairman 2014 Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In his letter to the Courier last week, former Beverly Hills Mayor Stephen Webb disputed details of the BHUSD Board of Education’s case against the purple line subway extension under our school.

Mr. Webb’s granular, revisionist history misses the point: the health and safety of our children are priceless. This subway line can, and should, be built without putting the students and faculty of BHHS at risk.

We must — and we will — continue to fight this threat.

Lisa Korbatov President, BHUSD Board of Education ****** Considering there are already laws which state no bicycles are to be allowed on the sidewalks, this has beome another one which is seemingly never enforced.

I have asked that the City determine that Segways ought not to be used on the sidewalks. Since we now have bicycle lanes, they should be welcome to use them. These are dangerous and motorized heavy equipment which occupies pedestrian space.

Now, motorized mobility scooters rentable by Bird, which are available on any street wherever they are left, represent a new and serious danger for the pedestrians as well as renters, who are usually without helmets. I have seen young teenagers speeding along the sidewalks (even doubled up) and even on the streets. What a huge safety hazard for all! This company has to be removed from the City as it has no purpose and complies with no law.

Another safety issue are the hedges alongside the driveways which are too tall and extend right up to the sidewalks. If there are for example, joggers or children on skateboards or bicycles, neither the driver moving out of the driveway nor the people on the sidewalk are able to see each other. There are clear laws about the size of hedges prior to reaching the sidewalk. This is not the first time I have attempted to bring this safety concern to the City's attention.

The dark, dirty sidewalks need a good scrubbing–in particular in areas where the berries fall from the trees. Are they supposed to be cleaned by the City or the property owner? As there is probably not enough personnel to undertake the task of informing the resident, letters from the City could do that job regarding the rules and penalties if not followed.

As I was walking this morning, I decided to take pictures from Sunset and Hillcrest along North Palm Drive, then South Maple and Burton Way. I took down many addresses along the way and pictures were sent to the City.

In addition, red curbs need repainting. Stop signs at the end of an alley should be clearly placed.

Walkways for the disabled are missing as e.g. around the park between Canon and Beverly Drive or along some alleyways.

I encourage the new committee and the City to walk the entire City.

Pablo Nankin, M.D. ****** For too long, this City and its government has failed to address one of its most serious problems, “homeless luxury automobiles.”

Sitting on dealers' lots, lonely, frightened, without a friend, these unattended and uncared for vehicles are crying for someone to take them home. No need to fret fellow citizens, because one of our own is stepping up to the plate.Yes, and it's the same fearless hero who braving toxic fumes, chopped down the terrorist trees of lots 12 and 13 which were attacking automobiles and police helicopters. Aided and abetted by many of the same City government individuals who overtly and covertly helped our hero rid us of those enemy trees, lots 12 and 13 will become the new home for these sad and lonely vehicles. Or as Joni Mitchell sang: “paved paradise, put up a parking lot.”

Once again City and citizens working together to make a better Beverly Hills.

Robert Block ****** On behalf of the concerned residents of Beverly Hills I want to convey our sincere thanks to Mayor Julian Gold, Vice Mayor John Mirisch and Council members Lili Bosse, Lester Friedman, and Robert Wunderlich for two actions that you took at last week’s City Council meeting.

The first was to place on the agenda of a future council meeting that any requests for use of parcels 12 and 13 be dealt with by the council itself and not by members of the staff.

The second was to create a dedicated “green space” acquisition fund.

These are important steps which, we feel, will go a long way toward rectifying the damage that was inflicted on Lots 12 and 13 by the criminal actions of the Beverly Hills Land Company and the failure of certain members of the City staff to fulfill their obligation

to work for the benefit of the residents and who instead accommodated the desires of a developer looking to turn a profit with no regard for the damage being inflicted upon the City’s residents. The highest and best use of Lots 12 and 13 is as a park. These lots must become City property. The dedicated green space acquisition fund could be the first step toward making that happen.

We are very appreciative of the actions of our City Council in taking these steps as well as certain others it has taken over the past few months to make the City operation more transparent to the residents and to include them in the decision making process. Again, thank you on behalf of all of us.

Lionel A. Ephraim ****** More than 20 percent of adolescents in the U.S. have experienced a serious mental health condition.

Unfortunately, seven out of 10 youth with diagnosable mental health problems do not receive the treatment they need.

Half of all those with mental disorders show signs of illness before turning 14 years old, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Untreated conditions lead to negative consequences, including depression, suicide, substance abuse, increased school dropout rates, potential irrational behavior, and even physical health problems.

Widespread conclusive research suggests that school-based mental health programs are an effective solution for early detection, providing short- and longterm benefits, such as reducing anxiety, improving reading scores and lowering rates of substance abuse.

Our work as counselors treating youth in schools also includes a small subset of people with a propensity for violence. It’s important to know, however, that mental disorders are not necessarily sufficient causes of violence. Ironically, studies show that mentally ill are more often victims than perpetrators of violence.

Early intervention and on-site screening of students with multiple risk factors is essential, followed by services for trauma, loss, use of alcohol and other drugs, and abuse. Unfortunately, obstacles for implementing treatment remain.

Although the Surgeon General’s Report on Children’s Mental Health identified schools as a viable and major setting for providing mental healthcare, the analysis also states that developing and sustaining funding streams to support the delivery of these services and prevention programs continue to be an obstacle at local, state, and national levels.

States grappling with budget shortfalls often lead to less resources for mental health programs. While pending federal legislation aims to provide funding for school- or community-employed mental health professionals, as well as faculty training to identify the early signs of mental health conditions, proposed federal budget cuts that slash spending for mental health treatment only exacerbate the issue.

In California, while the Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63) and Investment in Mental Health Wellness Act of 2013 have made a positive impact, governmental hindrances are impacting school-based mental health programs. A primary challenge is that, although legislation providing funding is essential, distributing public money to implement services is often a long, bureaucratic process.

Such programs are especially important in lowincome areas, where negative educational and health outcomes are much higher compared to those in higher-income districts. According to a UCLA Center for Health Policy Research survey, 90 percent of teens with diagnosed mental health disorders living in poverty did not receive counseling. Even in communities perceived to be affluent, student bodies are often diverse and come from varied socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compounding the issue is that more than 50 percent of students come from households struggling with divorce, impacting their confidence and self-esteem.

Students require a safe place to discuss what is troubling them. As one example, our community-based mental health programs with the Beverly Hills Unified School District have been effective in providing an array of services for more than 1,500 youth annually.

We work closely with school and district personnel to meet the current needs of students, which can range from substance abuse to treating anxiety, often related to social media, parental expectations, family conflict and societal pressure.

It is vital that everyone who needs help gets help … ensuring access for all, especially our young who are at risk. We all have a social responsibility to safeguard the success of future generations, so let’s not forget about school-based mental health programs.

Marci Kaplan Chief Executive Officer, The Maple Counseling Center

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 15). Because of the new people coming into your life, coupled with a willingness to let go of any pettiness that was holding you back, the months to come feature an expansion of your heart. What you do out of love will not follow the usual course, and that's part of why it's so memorable. There's a windfall in August. Cancer and Virgo adore you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An array of options will open up. This won't be difficult for you. You've known your choice for a while now. Like someone on a scripted reality television show, you'll go through the motions, explaining your reasons.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Natural attractions are difficult to resist, but today it will be appropriate to try your best. The old standby, “Out of sight, out of mind,” could be the ticket. Redirect your attention. In time, what's relevant today will no longer be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Part of a loving relationship is being good at being loved -- appreciating what others do without trying to control it, and letting them show you instead of being so capable that you never need their help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Let someone know that imperfections are not only acceptable but also necessary and even desirable. We're all in this together. Sometimes we forget to help one another until we see the reasons we must.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've come to an impasse. Neither person is right; neither wrong. Nonetheless, someone has to move, or the flow of life is needlessly and frustratingly blocked.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When people feel better, they behave better. Therefore, your strategy of helping people feel good keeps you headed toward peace, harmony and productivity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People promise you so much that if they make good on even half of it, you stand to gain greatly. Tonight, you'll be confronted with the past. Nostalgia will play into your current feelings about someone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To think, wonder, imagine, obsess... there have been times when these modes served you very well. Such times will come again! As for today, a peaceful, quiet, content mind will better serve the situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you genuinely want to help but don't understand enough about a situation to be truly useful, the most thing you can do is observe and seek greater knowledge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). It's strange. You alter your appearance, and for some reason it changes the dynamics of a relationship. Why? Because even a slight change of costume means you're playing a slightly different character.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). “It gets easier,” they say. That's the shorthand version. The real truth is that “it” stays about the same and you don't. You get better and stronger and more creative and faster until “it” seems like child's play.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). It's easy to be fooled by words, and it's quite possible to misread the actions a person takes. Consider taking note of what you hear and see without rendering a judgment. This isn't about one incident; rather, it's about a trend.
