Mayor Sends Letter To MTA

By Marla Schevker Mayor Barry Brucker sent a letter to Metro CEO Arthur Leahy expressing the City Council’s desire to reevaluate its stance on the Westside Subway Extension and America Fast Forward, also known as the 30-10 initiative. Brucker said the letter was sent as a response to community comments and dialogue with the council from the June 21 meeting, when the subway tunnel

was an item on the study session. “The council gave direction that I would send a letter on behalf of the City to Metro, reaffirming our strong opposition to any tunneling options that would go underneath our high school,” Brucker said. “(We wanted to) send a clear cut message from the council that all options, including opposing fund(see ‘MAYOR,’ page 18)

Planning Commission Approves Avalon Hotel Parking Charges By Marla Schevker The Planning Commission approved 3-2 the addition of paid parking to the Avalon Hotel valet at last Thursday’s meeting, with Commission Chair Dan Yukelson and Commissioners Noah Furie and Nan Cole voting for and Commission Vice Chair Craig Corman and Commissioner Brian Rosenstein voting against. The approval will come back in the form of a resolution to be passed at the next Planning Commission meeting on July 14. Valet at the Avalon Hotel will now cost $5. Since it began to offer valet parking, the Avalon has been required by the Planning Commission to provide free valet parking. This was arranged as to minimally impact residents who live in the area surround-

ing the hotel. These residential streets have since become permit-parking zones. Kathy Bronte, a resident of the 400 block of S. Canon Dr., said hotel employee parking is a problem for her street. In a letter to the Planning Commission, she said the parking situation was “horrible.” Bronte circulated, and attached with her letter, a petition and 61 percent of residents on the block said they favor permitonly parking on the east side of the street. “We often must park in Los Angeles (two blocks away) as the employees and the guests park on our street until 8 p.m.,” Bronte wrote, “If the City allows the hotel to charge (for) valet parking, then more guests will park on the east side of the (see ‘AVALON HOTEL,’ page 27)

Store security and Beverly Hills police were able to nab two suspected shoplifters at the landmark Saks Fifth Avenue department store in Beverly Hills, a police lieutenant said. The attempted shoplifting was at 9600 Wilshire Blvd. at about 12:55 p.m. on Saturday, said BHPD Lt. Mike Hill.

The two crooks were allegedly heading out the door, loot in hand and pursued by private security guards, when they met Beverly Hills cops coming in the door. After a brief footrace down Wilshire, the pair were grabbed and arrested, he said. —City News Service

Courier Contest Winner Enjoys Best Of Beverly Hills Russ Martonis, 25, of New York City doesn’t enter a lot of contests. But he’s glad he entered a recent online contest sponsored by The Courier open to professionals in the greater New York area advertising community. Martonis, an account executive at digital advertising agency T3, learned of the con-

test through advertising-industry website Media Bistro. “I never expected to win,” Martonis said, “but the prizes and package were so enticing and unique, I decided to give it a shot. “It was great, really unexpected,” said Martonis. “I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to travel like that, in a five-

star manner ... so it was a cool opportunity.” Martonis had been to Los Angeles before, but never Beverly Hills. Martonis was flown all-expenses paid to Los Angeles along with a friend, Desmond Kumordzie, also from New York, and their weekend in-

Beverly Hills Salon Owner Gets House Arrest For Credit Card Fraud A Beverly Hills beauty salon owner was sentenced Monday to five years probation, including nine months in house arrest, for lifting credit card information from Jennifer Aniston and other stars and running up more than $300,000 in fraudulent charges. Maria Gabriela Hashemipour, 51, pleaded guilty in January in L.A. federal court to one count of access device fraud. Prosecutors had asked for 2 1/2 years in prison, but U.S. District Judge, Manvel L. Real, said he decided on probation due to the state of the defendant’s health and to allow her to continue working to repay those she defrauded.

Along with probation and house arrest, Real ordered the defendant to complete 3,000 hours of community service. He also set an Oct. 17 hearing to determine how much restitution Hashemipour must pay. Hashemipour was arrested last August at her business/residence, Chez Gabriela Studio on North La Peer Drive, by U.S. Secret Service special agents. Hashemipour–who was arrested under the name Maria Gabriela Perezalso appears to have seven judgments or liens against her and her property, according to the affidavit. —City News Service

Beverly Hills Resident Robbed Of Wallet, Keys At Gunpoint; Suspect Still At Large By Brenton Garen Beverly Hills detectives have an ongoing investigation following an armed robbery which took place on the 200 block of South Carson Road in Beverly Hills at about 9:30 p.m. last Saturday. The victim was in his car parked in his driveway when he was approached by the suspect who was armed with a handgun.

The man demanded money and took the victims wallet and car keys. He then walked to a waiting vehicle, which had two additional suspects standing outside. The three then fled southbound on South Carson Road in a white full-size SUV. The armed suspect was described as a black male, 16 to 22 years old, wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt.

Keep Your Pets Safe This Long Weekend The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals L.A. offer some tips on keeping pets from becoming lost or injured this July 4 weekend when fireworks start. For curious pets, backyard barbecues may not be as fun as they are for their human companions, according to the organization. Among other tips, the organization says to keep alcoholic beverages,

lighter fluids, matches and insect repellents like citronella candles away from animals because each can be toxic or deadly when ingested or inhaled. Also, use sunscreens intended for animals. Remember that some foods can be toxic for dogs such as chocolate, onions, tomatoes, avocados and grapes. Cooked bones can splinter and be fatal. —City News Service

GROUP EFFORT—Some of the cast from Cinderella and staff members from Beverly Hills High School Ellie Dubin and Roman Zaragoza. The group performed Cinderella last month.

BH Freshman Creates Musical Program By Claire Selvin Students from Arlington Heights Elementary school participated in a program called “Kesem Shel Shir, the Magic of Music,” founded by Ellie Dubin, a freshman at Beverly High, and performed Cinderella for family members, friends, and teachers. Kesem Shel Shir provides free, after-school musical theatre classes for schools which have lost their funding for arts education due to budget cuts. Dubin was inspired to start the

program as a part of her fellowship in affiliation with Sinai Temple. She recently applied for a grant that would allow her to expand to other schools. Dubin raised money from family and friends in order to pay for the program. She borrowed many costumes from My Creative Kids Youth Theater Project and props from BHHS. “We are going to miss the kids but know that we have inspired them,” said Dubin.

Designers Renovate Homeless Shelter By Brenton Garen Built in 1998, the single occupancy rooms at Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women & Children in downtown L.A. were long overdue for a makeover. As the 30-room renovation project nears completion, some residents are calling it the “Taj Mahal” of homeless shelters. Earlier this year, interior designers Vanessa De Vargas and interior design writer and editor Vanessa Kogevinas decided to join forces and take on the project. They assembled a team of 30 designers and sourced products, materials and design services completely on a probono basis.

De Vargas said 10 of the rooms were completed last month, ten would be finished this month and the final 10 in July. “Each designer was given a month to do their magic,” De Vargas said. “They came in during their own time and the staff was incredible to work with everyone’s schedule. Down to the last wire all of us designers were swapping items in the hallway, it was really cute.” Before the transformation, the rooms only had linoleum floors, a desk, a chair, a chest of drawers, a bed, standard blinds with white walls and ceilings. De Vargas said each designer was given the freedom to design and deco(see ‘RENOVATION,’ page 27)

HOW DO YOU FEEL? Research Roundup... Doctor Calls For Heart Centers To Offer Programs Like Meditation To Reduce Heart Disease Deaths Stress management programs like Transcendental Meditation should be implemented to significantly reduce depression, heart attacks, strokes and deaths in coronary heart disease patients, according to a new editorial written by Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute physician, C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, and published in Archives of Internal Medicine. Bairey Merz is calling upon medical centers to institute stress management programs to reduce deaths in heart patients. Effective stress management pro-

grams could be as effective as betablocker drugs in improving health outcomes for the more than 13 million coronary heart disease patients in the U.S., according to Bairey Merz’ editorial. The commentary is in response to new, nine-year, randomized, controlled clinical trial that concluded coronary heart disease patients who practiced the stress-reducing Transcendental Meditation technique had nearly 50 percent lower rates of death, heart attack, and stroke compared to controls in a health education group.

Latest Data From Cedars Vaccine Study Supports Targeting Of Brain Tumors An experimental vaccine developed by researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute targets overactive antigens in highly aggressive brain tumors and improves length of survival in newly diagnosed patients, according to new data presented in a poster session at the 47th annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and aggressive type of tumor originating in the brain, typically live only 12 to 15 months after diagnosis even with

standard treatments: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. In this Phase I clinical trial that started in Nov. 2006, 11 of 16 patients (69 percent) were still alive at 32 months (a median analysis time); six of 16 (38 percent) continued to be disease-free; three have gone almost four years and another three have survived more than 2.5 years with no recurrence. Median progression-free survival— the time from treatment to disease recurrence (median progression-free survival) was 16.9 months.

USC/Keck Center Study Finds Cotton Swab May Be Key Tool Fighting Post-Surgical Infection A simple item found in almost every medicine cabinet—a cotton swab—may be a key tool in the fight against post-surgical wound infections. In a sentinel trial conducted at the Keck Medical Center of USC, CedarsSinai surgeon Shirin Towfigh, MD, showed that painless and gentle probing of a wound with a dry cotton swab after surgery dramatically reduced infections in post-operative incision sites. Only 3 percent of patients who had the daily probings contracted infections compared to 19 percent of those who didn’t—a rate more than six times higher than that of the study group. “That a humble cotton swab could have such an impact reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired infections is really quite remarkable,” Towfigh said. “This study reminds us scientists can still find effective treatments when willing to think outside of the ‘technology box.’ “ Surgical site infections most commonly occur when patients have “dirty” or contaminated wounds, such as after a trauma, bowel surgery, or perforated appendicitis. Until now, no preventative treatment at the contaminated wound site

– including topical antibiotics, under-theskin wound drains or delayed closure of the wound—has proven to reliably decrease these infections. More than 500,000 such infections occur in the U.S each year, accounting for nearly onequarter of hospital-acquired infections and a major source of illness and cause of death in patients. The exact mechanism by which the technique prevents surgical site infection is unclear, though Towfigh and colleagues surmise that wound probing allows contaminated fluid trapped within soft tissues to drain, reducing the bacterial burden while maintaining a moist environment needed for successful wound healing. As reported in the Archives Of Surgery, all study participants had undergone an appendectomy for a perforated appendicitis. Half the 76 patients in the prospective, randomized trial had their incisions loosely closed with staples, then swabbed daily with iodine (the control group). The study group had their incisions loosely closed. Then, their wounds were probed gently between surgical staples with a dry, sterile cotton tip applicator each day.

OIL WELLS (Continued from page 1)

sy initiated by Erin Brockovich seven years ago, passed all safety inspections and generates over $1 million in royalties annually for the district. Over 3,500 City property owners get more than $1 million in royalties each year. Brockovich's lawsuit was dismissed by the Superior Court for failure to prove any of its safety and health claims. The current oil and gas lease between the BHUSD, which owns the property, and Venoco, which operates the 16 producing oil wells on the back corner of the campus, has a nominal termination date in 2016. In essence, the school board asked “why now?” and “how do we replace the money we were getting?” Kolin said the ordinance came about because “some of the members” of the council “had history” and felt the district and City wanted to end the drilling. “We're hopeful that slant drilling [from outside the city] will be identified as an opportunity and that will replace a portion of the revenue,” Kolin said. “[If slant drilling is not feasible] the district should prepare a plan for a loss of a portion of the revenue as was anticipated in the lease agreement and the expiration.” The Courier spoke with Mayor Barry Brucker to find out his reasons for the oil ordinance. Brucker said in the fall of 2010 Venoco approached both the City and the district to discuss a lease extension. He said the ordinance was the City’s way to make sure no extension was agreed before a permanent ban of oil drilling was fully vetted. Under the ordinance, slant drilling

is allowed as long as the drilling site is approximately 500-1,000 feet away. However, no new drill sites can be used for three years which effectively kills the field. Despite losing their income, property owners who now receive royalties would still be assessed property tax on the value of oil and gas in place. Brucker said he believes the site could be used for affordable housing for teachers or city employees or for a ground lease for a different City-approved and compatible use. He also said the City would “bend over backwards” to make a compatible, safe, income-generating use as easy as possible if the district wished. Kolin said the City has hired a consulting firm, AECOM, to evaluate whether the site could be remediated to make it fit for construction and habitation. The consultants are expected to report in July. On safety, Korbatov cited the Brockovich lawsuit and later questioned whether students' health and safety motivated the oil cutoff. Kolin said: “We’ve had no discussions about health impacts or concerns of that nature." Boardmember Steven Fenton said he would like the board and council to meet about ending oil production. “I appreciate the City Council not moving forward until we can have a discussion on it,” Fenton said. “It bothers me the majority of the City Council is inclined to want to do this and pull the carpet out from underneath us.” Brucker said he “welcomed any opportunities” to get the City and BHUSD together. He said they were working on a date for all 10 elected officials in public session.

BUILDING 499 North Cañon Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210

RACE TIME—More than 1300 bikers lined up near the Rodeo Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard intersection last Sunday morning for the ﬁrst ever Gran Fondo bike race in Beverly Hills.

Gran Fondo Ride Starts, Ends In City The first edition of the Gran Fondo Colnago Los Angeles took place last Sunday, June 26 in Beverly Hills. The mass started at 7 a.m. near the corner of Rodeo Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard. The ride featured two routes, a long one (72 miles with 7100’ of climbing) and a short ride at 39 miles with 2100’ of climbing. The actual bike ride will start at the North end of the 400 block of Rodeo Drive and Little Santa Monica, heading North and then West onto Big Santa Monica to Wilshire. Gran Fondos (“Big Ride” in Italian), are long distance, mass-participation cycling events – not races – that are immensely popular in Italy. Sponsors of the event include Colnago, Alitalia, FSA, Campagnolo, Ful-

crum, Gaerne, Speedplay, Cuore Italiano, Villa Sandi, the Italian Trade Commission, GU Energy, Il Borro and Castiglion del Bosco wineries (owned by the Ferragamo family), Prologo, Maxxis, Italy Bike Hotel, Il Palagetto winery, the Beverly Hilton and the Beverly Hills Convention and Visitors Bureau. Proceeds from the Gran Fondo Colnago Los Angeles will benefit Team Type 1, the organization founded by Phil Southerland that began as a grassroots initiative to motivate people to take control of their diabetes using cycling as a platform. It grew to become a world-class athletic program for athletes with diabetes, including a professional men's cycling team, poised to compete at the 2012 Tour de France.

TUNNEL

through the surrounding ground, and resonates within the structures. According to BHUSD rail expert Tim Buresh, Beverly High is built on alluvium. Alluvium is a moderate noise vibration conductor. It does not transmit as well as rock but is significantly better than clay. The impact from noise vibration can be lessened if the tunnels are dug deep enough in the ground. Metro conducted tests near the Westfield Mall in Century City, which proved to be 40 to 50 feet too close to the surface, Buresh said. The tunnel under Beverly High would be closer to the school's foundations than that. How to get an answer or more data? So far, Metro officials have refused to share with BHUSD documents and data promised to the District when it granted permission to Metro to conduct seismic, soil and vibration tests on the campus. Metro has also refused to share its research about the Santa Monica Fault. Refusal to share scientific test results among public agencies is very unusual. Although Metro has not announced a final alignment, Los Angeles officials have publicly stated their selection to be the route under Beverly High. Los Angeles, through Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, nearly controls a majority of the Metro board by itself. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky’s deputy, Vivian Rescalvo, told The Courier that the final alignment has not been decided but that “Metro is working to minimize any impacts to the school.” Rescalvo said she believes the final alignment will be released in the fall.

under Beverly High is to avoid the Santa Monica Fault that runs more-or-less along Santa Monica Boulevard adjacent to the Los Angeles Country Club. Metro must cross that fault at some place, but it wants to avoid paralleling it. Of the various routes proposed, the Century City station location at Century Park East proposed by Beverly Hills Mayor Barry Brucker and Vice Mayor Willie Brien actually avoid that problem and also avoids Beverly Hills. Metro does not appear interested in that solution and continues to push for the tunnel under Beverly High. While the debate goes on about the Santa Monica Fault, we know even less about is the Newport/Inglewood fault which is the #1 most dangerous fault in the Los Angeles basin. Geologists have mapped it and agree that it comes close to Beverly High, but are uncertain whether it actually reaches under the high school. Santa Monica Boulevard is much farther from the generally agreed northern boundary of the Newport/Inglewood Fault. Nothing produced by Metro so far mentions or discusses the Newport/Inglewood Fault or any other nearby fault for that matter. What lies above the faults is also important. All of the Los Angeles basin is comprised of alluvial soil, which is the sand and gravel washed down from the mountains over the ages. It shakes and can become mush during an earthquake, especially within the water table. A subway is not silent. A train rushing through a tunnel obviously causes quite a bit of noise. This noise transfers

ing for the tunneling under our high school, will be evaluated by the City Council in the short term.” The letter is meant to articulate without any ambiguity to Metro that support of the funding underneath Beverly High may be predicated on the alignment choice Brucker said. However, the council will explore all of their options before consideration of opposing 30/10. “I think this is an important message, that Beverly Hills means business,” Brucker said. “We are still in active dialogue

with Metro to explore an acceptable alignment alternate that allows for increased ridership, park and ride options, substantial cost savings while avoiding the impacts of construction plans and safety concerns at the high school. “I am certainly open minded to hearing from my colleagues as to what their thoughts are. I’m not ready to commit either way at this point. The only thing I’m clear about is my continued opposition to not tunnel under the high school.” -MSchevker@bhcourier.com

He has now been at T3 for two years after stints at other companies including Warner Brothers, where he worked in domestic syndicated television ad sales.

from approximately 19 countries will compete in the international competition held every other year. “I’m really excited,” said Ng who leaves July 26. While she doesn’t expect to get much sightseeing in, there will be social activities before the actual competition begins, and she’s looking forward to meeting world-famous riders. Ng started riding on family vacations at 6, but found she was allergic to the hunter/jumpers she was trying. Frustrated with not being able to follow her dream; by chance, she was invited to a show and tried riding an Icelandic horse. Ecstatic that there was no allergic reaction, her

equestrian career was off. “They’re like dogs,” says Ng, of her favorite breed. “They’re quite docile and love company. The only horse breed in Iceland, and with no natural enemies, the breed doesn’t spook easily. The family’s three horses are kept with Ng’s trainer Asta Covert, also a member of national team, on her Flying C Icelandic Horses ranch in Santa Ynez. And Ng spends her weekends and some summer weeks there training on the oval track, doing exercises “to soften the horse to make him easy to ride,” and practicing dressage. Kaliber, she said, “is a good pet” and the two have developed a strong bond. “He always comes when he sees me. He’s very caring of his rider, but can be stubborn. Sometimes we

disagree on things so I talk to him, and then we stop and start over.” To qualify for the national team, riders had to compete in tryouts in May—hers was also in Santa Ynez—and surpass a certain score for whichever class they chose to compete in. The Icelandic is a “five-gaited” breed. As well as the typical gaits of walk, trot, and canter/gallop, the breed is noted for two additional gaits, a four-beat lateral ambling gait known as the tölt, similar to the the running walk of the Tennessee Walking Horse and a “flying pace” where some horses reach up to 30 miles per hour. Ng, says one of her three horses, all imports from Iceland, could perform the maneuver, but she and Kaliber, a gift from Dec. 25, 2007, concentrate on the intricate gaits. Competitors like Ng, in the top open class (after novice and intermediate) are able to design their own competition programs to show off their skills. Porgeir Guolaugsson, a renowned international judge, flew in from The Netherlands to judge the tryouts. Ng, who started riding, “just for fun,” has been motivated by her goals. She set out to be a U.S. team rider for the FEIF

Now, she will be the first American of Chinese descent to participate at a world championship; and she and Kaliber will compete in their first international competition together, against the world’s top professional Icelandic horseback riders. “I’m really happy I made it,” Ng said. Competing has taught Ng how to deal with all kinds of people, she says, and introduced her to countless other cultures. Ng, entering her junior year at Polytechnic School, is the daughter of Dominic Ng, chairman/CEO of East West Bancorp and East West Bank, and his wife Ellen Ng. She also has a brother, Ryan. At school, she plays soccer in the winter and is a member of the Ambassador program and art club. While she’s thinking of becoming an architect, she plans to keep horseback riding a vital part of her life. Rachel has been riding Icelandic horses for nearly six years, participating in many shows throughout California. Currently, she is fourth and sixth in the two highest ranked classes of the national ranking in the U.S.; and is ranked first among all youth riders in the nation.

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT

Super Care Drugs—Small-Town Vibe, Big-City Capabilities uper Care Drugs Beverly Hills, is a traditional pharmacy with small-town comfort and service and big-city capabilities to meets its customers needs. The new store on Cañon has been open since January, “so we’re getting our operations up; getting the kinks out of our computer system and establishing our accounting system so everything is smooth for our customers,” said Tom Park, owner manager, who also operates the first store in the chain in Malibu. Super Care is a retail pharmacy, independently operated, specializing in prescriptions, vitamins, supplements, over-the-counter medications and home health care. As a compounding pharmacy, Super Care can make preparations to fit a patient’s unique needs. “We can create medications that are not commercially available,” said Park. “It gives the doctors lots of flexibility.” What sets Super Care apart from other pharmacies, besides its compounding specialty, is the “vibe,” Park says. “It’s something you have to experience. People don’t feel like just a number. We offer personal care, and we’re down to earth,” Park adds. “It’s kind of like having a friend in the business.”

One recent customer was astonished that after walking in, her prescription was ready in a few minutes. “This higher efficiency is what our Malibu customers are used to,” Park said. “People call ahead and get in and out without any hiccups.” Park also doesn’t wait until a patient shows up to pick up their prescription to tell them the medication isn’t covered by insurance and they have a $300 bill. “We try to be proactive and let them know; and sometime we can get it covered.” The store is also earning a reputation for its sundries and “cool selection of stuff,” as one customer put it. Another client was thrilled to find a toothpaste she’d only seen in France. “We’re translating a lot of product from our Malibu store to see what works and learn from that,” Park said. “Our higher-end clientele here is similar to what we have in Malibu.” Another customer said, “Gee, I never see anyone have this here,” when she saw they carry the Ole Henriksen line of skin-care products. Park is also available to answer questions for customers who ask, and works to promote good health. One client who came in for antibiotics, complained of stomach discomfort. As a vegetarian, she was mainly eat-

ing gluten products and taking Prilosec over the counter. "I told her it was probably masking what’s really going on,” Park said, “and probably not good for her long term.” He recommended taking probiotics like yogurt , soy yogurt or dietary supplements for digestive track health and eliminating gluten products for a while to see if that was the problem. He also recommended por tion control and taking fruit for the single mother of two who ate only when she could, and was starving by the time she finally ate. “If you take fruit it goes with the natural philosophy and buys enough time for a meal so blood sugar doesn't drop. “I know always being healthy can be hard, like taking probiotics everyday; but sometimes people just need to be reminded of a couple of key pointers—like avoiding fast food.” The Malibu location is a neighborhood pharmacy, Park says, part of the community where they know their clients and their children. “People bump into each other, and it’s like a social gathering, Park said. “They stand there talking to each other for an hour.” They’re developing the same reputation in Beverly Hills. “Malibu has a village type of atmosphere and people know us; I’ve had a number of

people walking by from Malibu and customers from there who say, “I didn’t know you guys are here. “A lot of people there see doctors in Beverly Hills or work in Beverly Hills, so it seemed natural to come here,” Park said. “It’s kind of like a sister city.” He’s had customers who work in Beverly Hills call the Malibu location at 7 p.m. saying they’re on their way from PCH—now they can pick up prescriptions locally. “And we’re always calling doctors here for refills,” Park says. “Professionally, we have a good relationship with a good portion of doctors who know us from Malibu. So that worked out nicely.” The store's main pharmacist, Park attended St. John's University in New York City and worked as a hospital pharmacist until the year there were 15 snow storms. He took over Super Care Drugs Malibu, open since 1978, in 2002. Super Care Drugs. at 220 N. Cañon, is open from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday. For more information, call 310310-271-2111. Super Care Drugs also offers delivery service and parking with two hours free in front, and one hour free behind the store.

Custom Comfort Mattress: A 25-Year Family Tradition of California Craftsmanship ustom Comfort Mattress’s new location on Beverly Boulevard, just west of Robertson, brings a quarter-century of California craftsmanship to West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Custom Comfort Mattress not only manufactures its mattresses entirely in Southern California from organic and natural materials; it’s one of the few companies to provide double-sided construction across nearly its entire line—ensuring that its customers benefit from optimal support and durability. The West Hollywood store introduces a new element to the business: a designer program through which Custom Comfort Mattress works closely with interior designers, ensuring that their clients’ bedrooms are designed for both aesthetics and comfort. Co-founder Mel Trudell says, “Our mattresses are built to last 17-20 years of actual use, whereas the industry standard is only around four to six years. Most people will spend a third of their lives on a mattress. We believe that the care that goes into the construction of your mattress should reflect the amount of use it sees—and the effects it has on your overall health and quality of life.” Brothers Mel and Martin Trudell, the founders of Custom Comfort Mattress, are an inspiring California success story. Truly self-made, they first made their mark in Orange County with a series of “David vs. Goliath” ads, that pitted their new mattress company against the established brands. Born into a family with 10 children, Mel and Martin had helped make ends meet by working in a small mattress factory. They learned the mattress business from the inside—with Mel gravitating toward the manufacturing side, and Martin honing his skills in sales.

When they realized they could make a better product than the company they were working for, they saved enough to buy a mattress sewing machine—and their business was born in their garage, then moved to a small space in Santa Ana. Two years later, they opened their first storefront in

Mission Viejo. Custom Comfort Mattress em-ploys a production team of craftsmen with an average tenure of more than 11 years working with the company. Each mattress is constructed with time-proven (see ‘CRAFTSMANSHIP,’ page 24)

Like many hopeful brides-to-be, Nicole wanted her teeth to look their best. She wanted the pictures for her special day to reflect the joy in her eyes and what she felt inside. Unfortunately, Nicole spent her entire childhood smiling with her mouth shut and, while her day brought her in contact with new people regularly, she felt she missed so many opportunities. “I felt people would often stare at my teeth when we met. Smiling is a reflection of how you feel, and it’s difficult to meet someone for the first time and not smile at them. I wanted to feel confident smiling and not be self conscious.” Nicole had been gathering information from various dentists and going for consultations. None, she felt, truly understood the importance of this transformation to her. She also did not have the confidence they had the skills and experience to perform her treatment. Finally she was referred to Dr. Joseph Stan, D.D.S., by and actress friend who had received a beautiful and healthy smile makeover from Dr. Stan. Nicole called for an appointment and went to consult with Dr. Stan at Aesthetic and Implant Dentistr y of Beverly Hills (unforgettablesmile.com) to discuss her dream smile. Dr. Stan evaluated Nicole’s existing smile, took digital X-rays to establish her dental

health, and digital photographs of her current smile. Dr Stan also provided Nicole with a computer-generated Unforgettable Smile Design, where a picture was taken of her and digitally altered to show what her new smile would look like. Moving for ward with her dental treatment, on her first visit Nicole had tooth whitening and laser gum contouring to enhance the shape of the upper gum line. Dr. Stan then took impressions of Nicole’s teeth and made an appointment for her final treatment a week later. As an extensively trained and experienced Cosmetic Specialist, Dr. Stan has completed thousands of perfect smiles and is able to perform full veneer smile makeovers in as few as two appointments for many patients. Nicole's second treatment involved the placement and permanent bonding of her new veneers to make sure they fit properly and were the correct size and color. Her treatment was completed by polishing each new tooth and ensuring the gaps between each tooth allowed easy dental flossing. In five hours and two treatments, Nicole's smile was completely transformed. Finally she had her Uniforgettable Smile for her unforgettable day, and the smile she deserved for years to come. All procedures are done at Dr. Stan’s CT-scan equipped dental facility in Beverly Hills. With local anesthetic, the procedure is usually pain-free and comfortable. Dr. Stan is also a a Sleep Sedation Specialist for patients needing more than a local anesthetic.

Frances Allen Desert Roundup Though temperatures are finally exceeding the individual 18-hole scores of the “Six Pack Sisters,” a half dozen dedicated lady golfers who make a yearly pilgrimage from the links courses of middle England to Rancho Mirage’s manicured fairways for the Kraft Nabisco Championship, this annual event–the first major tournament on either the men’s or lady’s tours–is still generating news. This year marked the second year of Integrated Wealth Management’s participation in “Tickets Fore Charity,” Kraft Nabisco’s multi-year fundraiser in which non-profits from throughout Southern California have the opportunity to sell advanced gallery tickets to the tournament and retain 100 percent of the money from the sales. Last year, the program raised about $150,000 for nearly 90 charities. This year, more than 150 charities participated and raised more than $173,000. A major component of the program is a $25,000 bonus pool, underwritten by Integrated Wealth Management. This is divided among the various charities based on the percentage of overall tickets redeemed by each organization. This year, given the concern of the LPGA relative regarding the number Asian golfers on the tour, it is only fitting the Chinese American Golf Federation was the

top-grossing charity. The 2012 “Tickets Fore Charity” campaign is expected to be repeated this fall, with an eventual goal of raising $1 million for participating charities. The Kraft Nabisco Championship will be played March 26 through April 1. ****** There is no bigger PGA Tour event in the Desert than the longrunning Bob Hope Classic. But some significant changes will be evident for the 2012 version. Historically, the Hope was played over four courses and five days. Now, with major sponsorship provided by Humana, the large health care provider, the tournament will be played in four days, on three courses. Another change: the field of pro golfers will increase to 144, with amateur participation reduced from 384 to 144. Getting the ax as the now unnecessary fourth course: SilverRock Resort, owned by the city of La Quinta. However, La Quinta will still be the host city as the three remaining courses, the Palmer and Nicklaus courses at PGA West along with the venerable La Quinta Country Club are all within that city. Still to be determined: the tournament’s continued use of Bob Hope’s name and the extent of former President Bill Clinton’s participation in the event.

Talks Books In The George Carlin Letters: The Permanent Courtship of Sally Wade (Simon and Schuster $26.00), author Sally Wade explains their meeting in a bookstore, shortly after his wife died. He promised to call her in a year, which he did and thus began a 10-year love affair. Fortunately, she kept every letter and drawing Carlin sent her as it enriches this book. For a decade, they were inseparable. Here are the photos of them as well as their fantasy planetary life on Jupiter. All of these notes are in his handwriting and on the note paper he used. How can one forget a man who writes to you “The king decrees: that whereas she is the sweetest, most beautiful woman in the realm; and whereas she is loved by him as no other, Queen Sally be venerated forever.” The only viewer to their love affair was Spot, the almost human dog. Thank you, Sally, for keeping George Carlin alive and letting me see this side of him. Many years ago I interviewed George on one of his first books. In answer to one of my questions about his and his wife, at that time, their use of drugs, he looked at me and said, “Connie, it’s not that the dishes don’t get done” w w w. c o n n i e m a r t i n s o n . c o m aired and streamed at 3 and 11:30 p.m. on www.lacityview.org channel 35 email: talksbooks@lycos.com

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 1). You’re headed for the top. Once you get there, stay awhile. There are always taller peaks to climb, but unless you enjoy your current elevation, life will be filled with strife. This month and September are best for career and finance. August brings a comfortable groove. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you make an assumption, let it be one to enhance your life. It does no good to assume that when bad things happen, it's “just your luck.” Assume that fortune is smiling on you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have so many more freedoms than you ever had before. Your life is filled with creative tools and flexible arrangements. You can truly design your time the way you always wanted to. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You notice when someone needs your encouragement, and you readily give it. Your sign mate Mother Teresa said, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are hesitant to engage those who have obvious and multiple problems because you realize that becoming involved will reduce your resistance and you’ll somehow be sucked into finding a solution. And you’re right about that. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It truly is a lucky day. You can drop a fear and identify yourself as brave and strong. This is true even if you’ve struggled with feelings of inferiority all of your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have the kind of hands-on experience that can’t be bought; it must be earned. It happened because you learned the necessary steps and took them. Repeat the process with your new goal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even the most popular performers spend a very small percentage of their life onstage. But they are in the public eye from the moment they walk outside. You also have the public’s attention whenever you want it now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You made an agreement long ago and were gung-ho. Though excitement wanes, your commitment stands fast. Efforts to drum up more excitement will be laced with luck. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Make only empowering assumptions. Assume someone likes you, and treat that person as though they already have a friendship with you–which will then develop quickly. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Sometimes it seems unfair that the other guy gets to pick the fruit from the tree you planted. Today fortune favors you, and you wonder how you got so lucky as to eat the fruit from a tree you didn’t plant. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You hate to ask people for anything you think you could provide for yourself. But get over it. Social scientists proved your helpers are more enamored of you than those you help. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Raise your expectations. If you accept your loved ones as they are, they will relax and become less than they could be. If you treat them as though they have already reached their potential, GUEST SINGER–Desperate Housewives’ Teri Hatcher joined the they just might do it. “Band from TV” at Lupus LA’s’ Orange Ball at The Beverly Wilshire.

Linda Schwartz’s Gemini Party Celebrated On Flag Day At The Peninsula This year’s June 14 party was a tribute to Bonnie Taylor, celebrating her 90th birthday, and Rabbi Jack and Margie Pressman marking their 69th wedding anniversary that day. Linda and March presented gifts from Lladró, a figurine of a a girl holding a flag for Bonnie, and two white doves to the Pressmans. Two-time Oscar nominee songwriter Carol Connors wrote a parody of her signature song To Know Him Is To Love Him and sang it for the Pressmans. She also presented Linda with earrings and a necklace from the floral collection by internationally known sculptor/jewelry designer Yaacov Heller. Rabbi Pressman accompanied the group on the piano as they waved their flags and sang God Bless America. He then sang, a capella, True Love, for his wife—there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Executive Chef James Overbaugh (also a Gemini) prepared a delicious luncheon of poached salmon salad; and Bonnie Taylor blew out the candles on the Gemini chocolate cake by Pastry Chef Romain Lenoir, followed by a champagne toast. A big thank you to Managing Director Offer Nissenbaum, Jaime Friedman, private events manager; banquet manager Alvaro Faria, doorman Luigi Nunez and the entire staff of The Peninsula Beverly Hills. Invitations were by Arlene and Philip Vanier of William Ernest Brown, with gorgeous flowers by Juliet and Rob Simnegar of Bouvardia. Photos by Shana Forman

Planning Commission Chair Dan Yukelson said view impairment has both objective and subjective components but the code enforcement portion of the ordinance deals with only the objective parts. “(If ever) in Trousdale, you will see a view is in the eye of the beholder and in certain cases, view impairment is obvious and in other cases it’s not so obvious,” Yukelson said. “What exactly is a view? Is it one tree in the way of the view of the Los Angeles basin or several trees? Or is it a tree blocking a building downtown or does it have to block the ocean? How much over the overall view does it need to block? Those are subjective things. “The measurement of a fence or the type of fence, being

If the first or second part is not successful, a hearing will take place before the Planning Commission and if necessary the City Council.

Some say it’s the Taj Mahal of shelters.” An inaugural opening event and walk-through is planned for July 23 and 24 for the public to view the rooms.

OPINION

Rabbi Jacob Pressman THE FIRST NIGHT

Guest Editorial Realignment: A Trojan Horse For Local Governments By Michael Antonovich Mayor, Los Angeles County Democrat and Republican governors across the country are working to cut costs and lower taxes, but Gov. Brown’s plan to level California’s $26 billion deficit–the result of several years of out of control government spending–is a “realignment” proposal that not only extends the previous administration’s ineffective tax hikes, but also irresponsibly shrugs the state’s financial burden onto the shoulders of cashstrapped county and municipal governments, creating a real threat to our economic recovery and public safety. In April, Brown signed into law AB 109–the public safety realignment bill–essentially launching a Trojan horse style attack on local governments and ensuring catastrophic consequences for Los Angeles County’s criminal justice system. Set to take effect Oct. 1, this would shift responsibility for convicted felons and parolee supervision from the state prison system to county resources, transferring the state’s legal obligation to already overcrowded local jails and stressed law enforcement agencies–without fully paying for the increased burden. L.A. County’s jail system, the largest in the nation, is already challenged with rampant violence and illness among detainees due to severe overcrowding conditions. County jails operate under strict federal court-appointed ACLU monitors, who cite overcrowding as the root cause of problems long-plaguing the Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail. Dumping barely-funded state felons into over-crowded jails means increased disruption, violence and liability. History speaks for itself. An older state contract was terminated when a rise in inmate fights and homicides resulted state prisoners doing time in county jails. While the state vows that inmates transferred into county jails under AB 109 will be of the non-serious, non-violent and nonsex offender type, the reality is many have actually been convicted of crimes and pleaded down from more serious charges. California’s stunning 70 percent recidivism rate means hardened, repeat offenders are continuously cycling through the state’s criminal justice system and return to local jails through realignment. Unlike state prisons– designed for long-term confinement–county jails are intended as detention centers for individuals awaiting trial, transfer, completion of misdemeanor sentencing. L.A. County jails simply do not have the capacity to take on the increased risk, liability, and social and fiscal responsibilities of a bigger and more dangerous criminal population with a strong gang component. Altering the make up and increasing the size of the county’s inmate population plus inadequate funding equals impacts to security, healthcare, mental health services and drug rehab.

Meanwhile, since sentencing will not change under realignment, some inmates could serve sentences of up to five years in county jails despite state funding for just six months worth of expenses. Adult parolees and juvenile wards will also become the county’s problem. The sheriff will be forced to make space by releasing misdemeanor offenders into the community long before they’ve served their time. Full jails mean no leverage over released felons and parole violators. The capabilities of every law enforcement agency in Los Angeles County will be compromised thanks to realignment. And while realignment aims to reduce prison overcrowding, it also provides counties the option to enter into contracts for prison beds. Shifting the state’s budget issues to local government and then offering to take them back through contracting is just a little bit of black magic pulled from Brown’s bag of amazing tricks. By pushing state responsibility onto the backs of local governments already slumped under the weight of a flat economy and unemployment rate at around 12 percent, California washes its hands clean of responsibility to its citizens. Despite some of the highest income, gas, sales, and business taxes in the country, the state remains blighted by a bureaucracy’s tradition of spending more than it has. Even a constitutional amendment guaranteeing realignment funding can’t save existing programs from plundering. Just like a deadbeat parent, California owes L.A. County a support check for $500 million in reimbursements connected to state mandated programs, including $50.5 million for state parole violators housed in county jails and $10.5 million services associated with the newly implemented non-revocable parole program–another state attempt at reducing prison populations Instead of sending California into a faster downward spiral, Gov. Brown must change course and examine the California Performance Review’s 1,200 plus recommendations for $32 billion in potential savings over the next five years, and follow the Board of Supervisors’ example in achieving $3.6 billion in efficiencies by consolidating departments and reforming civil service outlined by the Quality & Productivity and the Economy & Efficiency Commissions. Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, shuffling state responsibilities to local governments will fail to prevent the inevitable disaster caused by realignment’s direct hit. Structural reforms addressing systemic problems in state government–not passing of the buck, temporary spending cuts, and higher taxes–must be enacted now to fire up California’s economic recovery without realignment’s nasty side effects of bankrupting local governments, severing services, and jeopardizing public safety.

Friends gather at the last rites at the home after There are two “first nights” in life that have extraordinary significance. The first night’s character the service. I console myself with the thought that is “Love.” The last night’s character is “Loss.” Here in Jewish life there is something to do, there are are two deceivingly simple terms that share the first seven days of remaining at home, of being assisted two letters: L and O.

My suggestion was what can be called Alternative 8, a “stop bump,” which would be similar to a speed bump, as seen (and felt) in the middle of the block in some areas. However, a stop bump would be designed to force a stop at the white stop line at a stop sign designated intersection, rather than just to slow down traffic. Distinguished from a speed bump, it would be shorter in depth, but taller in height to encourage compliance–be yellow and reflective to be seen at night, and lettered with “stop bump” to Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter
