Beverly Hills Residents Seek Presidential Intervention To Re-Route Purple Line Extension

By Laura Coleman On Wednesday, a consortium calling themselves the “Friends of Beverly Hills High School” unveiled a change.org petition asking U.S. President Donald Trump and Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao to force the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to re-route the planned Purple Line extension from under BHHS into Century City by withholding federal funds.

In concert with the petition, the consortium, which is comprised of a group of residents wishing to remain anonymous, activated a website titled “Stop The Purple Threat” that details the hazards of running a subway tunnel under BHHS. “Hopefully this website will initiate a more robust, independent environmental review,” said one resident who helped create the website.

Beverly Hills Elders: Miriam & Howard Landres, Still In Love After 66 Years Together Part 82 in a series on Beverly Hills residents who have grown with the Centennial City

By Laura Coleman The world is much changed since Miriam (Mimi) and Howard Landres originally met each other that one beautiful spring evening on May 15, 1952 in Beverly Hills.

The two were both in attendance at an elegant party on Maple Drive, inside a gorgeous home with waterfalls in the loggia and beautiful music perfect for dancing.

“I tapped a girl on the shoulder and asked, ‘Would you like to dance?’” Howard recalled. “And we fell in love that night...we fell in love while dancing.”

After 65 years of marriage this past March, the couple remains just as passionately devoted to each other as ever.

Of course, there are a few keys to wedded bliss they’ve discovered

Howard and Miriam Landres

over the years, such as being kind to each other and trying not to fight.

“It’s been an incredible life for us,” said Howard.

Born in 1922, Howard grew up with two older brothers in Hancock Park. His entrepreneurial (see ‘LANDRES’ page 8)

By Victoria Talbot Last week, the City of Beverly Hills released the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that will govern the construction of Section Two of the Purple Line Extension, commonly referred to as the Wilshire/Rodeo Station, highlighting key elements in a press release.

For 18 months, the City staff has been negotiating with Metro representatives and stakeholders through regular meetings and public forums to discuss the upcoming construction that will take place in Beverly Hills.

The purpose of the MOA is to establish terms and conditions for the Metro construction project, including work hours, mitigation measures and other aspects of the project that impact the City.

Among the terms are several specific measures intended to protect Beverly Hills High School from construction impacts, including noise and vibration.

The Wilshire/La Cienega station contractor/designbuilder is Skanska Traylor Shea; Tutor Perini O&G is the contractor/design-builder for the Wilshire/Rodeo station.

The subway station is an underground building, referred to as station “boxes,” which must be excavated from the surface down, which is the most impactful part of the construction. Tunnels, however, are excavated through boring underground.

The initial excavation will be covered with temporary concrete street decking over

the excavation. When work is completed, that decking will be removed and the street restored, which is also impactful.

To date, there have been two MOAs negotiated in separate agreements between the City and Metro for the advanced utility relocation currently being undertaken.

The MOA is expected to be brought to the City Council July 17, according to the City website, for a formal introduction and discussion. A proposed final MOA will be presented to the City Council’s consideration on Aug. 21.

Public comment will be heard at the meeting and stakeholders can submit comments to PurpleLine@BeverlyHills.org, or mail them to Metro PLE Rodeo Station MOA Comments, City of Beverly Hills Public Works, 345 Foothill Rd., Beverly Hills, CA 90210. Comments must be submitted by 10 a.m. July 11 to be included in the agenda package.

The document is available in full on the City’s website.The Wilshire/Rodeo Extension project includes the subway tunnel alignment between Century City and the Wilshire/La Cienega Station, which is currently under construction and is governed by a separate MOA approved Feb. 21, 2017.

Currently, jet grouting work at the La Cienega Station is scheduled to be completed in late October. It is expected that the impacts to traffic in the area will be minimal when that is completed. (see ‘METRO MOA’ page 13)

July 26, 2018 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard Commission Meeting Room 280A, Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

PROJECT: 331 North Oakhurst Drive The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, July 26, 2018, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider a request for Variances and a Development Plan Review to allow construction of a new 22’2” tall, two-story residential building containing one unit located at 331 North Oakhurst Drive. The proposed project is located on a 3,327 square foot lot in the R-4 zone and would have a floor area of 2,329 square feet (including basement). Construction of the proposed project requires the following entitlements: Variances from the City of Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) for the following: •

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2805 in order to build habitable basement area in a multi-family zone

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2806 to deviate from required modulation for multi-family buildings

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2807 to allow the reduction of the required side yard setback

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2808 to allow the reduction of the required rear yard setback

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2810 to allow extension of a porte-cochere to encroach into a rear yard setback

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2811 to allow the extension of the basement lightwell to encroach into a required side yard setback

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2812 to allow the encroachment of a portecochere into a required rear yard

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2817 to waive guest parking requirements

•

Variance from BHMC § 10-3-2818 to provide parking spaces not enclosed by solid walls (not shielded from public view) and provide such spaces in required setbacks

These variances are being requested in order to accommodate the proposed structure on the project site.

A Development Plan Review is required pursuant to BHMC §10-3-3100 and §10-3-3102 because the proposed project involves new construction requiring the granting of a variance.

This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the City’s Local CEQA guidelines. The project appears to qualify for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption for new construction or conversion of small structures pursuant to Section 15303 of the guidelines because it is a multi-family residential structure that contains no more than four dwelling units. The Planning Commission will consider finding that the project will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Timothea Tway, Senior Planner in the Planning Division at (310) 285-1122, or by email at ttway@beverlyhills.org. Copies of the project plans and associated application materials are on file in the Community Development Department, and can be reviewed by any interested person at 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PROJECT ADDRESS: 9200 Wilshire Blvd. (Between Maple Drive and Palm Drive) HEARING DATE: July 26, 2018 TIME: 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard HEARING LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280A Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, July 26, 2018, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider: A request for a Zone Text Amendment to the M-PD-4 zone to remove the words “elevator penthouses” from the list of rooftop features that are allowed to exceed the 60 foot maximum height limit of the zone by 10 feet (Beverly Hills Municipal Code §10-3-1990.7B). Removing elevator penthouses from this list would result in elevator penthouses on buildings located in the M-PD-4 zone to instead be limited to 15-feet above a building’s rooftop, consistent with the Municipal Code’s standard for other nonresidential and multiple family residential zones of the City.

In addition, the 9200 Wilshire Boulevard project site was originally approved for a mixed use, multiple family condominium project in September 2007. Subsequently, a modified version of the project was approved in October 2017. Since that approval, the applicant has made revisions to the project’s plans that require review by the Planning Commission to determine whether the revisions are in substantial conformance with the Planning Commission’s prior approval. The revisions include the following items: • Expansion of the third subterranean level of parking to a full level. The most recent approval included two full levels and a third partial level of subterranean parking (220 spaces in total), while the current plans include three full levels of subterranean parking (248 parking spaces in total).

• Reduction of the modulation on the north (Wilshire) side of the building, and an offsetting increase in modulation on the south (alley) side of the building; • Minor changes in the amount, location, and configuration of private and common open space; and, • Other minor changes required in order to comply with the Building Code.

The request is being made pursuant to conditions of approval contained in Resolution No. 1823, which was approved by the Planning Commission on October 12, 2017.

A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was certified by the City Council when the project was originally approved by the City in 2007. An addendum to the 2007 FEIR was prepared for the Planning Commission’s consideration of a Modified Project, which was subsequently revised and was approved in October 2017. A second addendum will be prepared for the version of the project that is currently under consideration. The primary changes to the October 2017 Approved Project that will be evaluated in the addendum include an increase in the size of the third subterranean level of parking from a partial level to a full level, modifications to the locations and sizes of the modulation and private and common outdoor living space, and a five-foot increase in the height of the elevator enclosures. The Planning Commission will consider adopting the addendum in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City at its hearing on July 26, 2018.

Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. Written comments also may be submitted prior to the public hearing to the Planning Division, via mail: attn. Alek Miller, 455 N. Rexford Drive, 1st Floor, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Written comments may also be submitted via email to amiller@beverlyhills.org.

ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M E N T

Choreographer Janet Roston Takes On Challenge Of Dancing ‘Dogs’ For Latest Project Mutt House Janet Roston’s choreography has really “gone to the dogs.”

For her latest project Mutt House—opening July 15 and playing through Aug. 5 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, 9820 Washington Blvd., Culver City—the long-time Beverly Hills resident has created dances for six actor-dancers playing canines with distinct breeds and personalities.

Director Ryan Bergmann— who’s worked with Roston on Celebration Theatre productions including the recently extended Cabaret—approached her with the challenge of creating dances for a musical about a loner young man who doesn’t fit into society, but finds his cause at a downtown animal shelter with the help of six dogs.

Ryan McCartan will star as Eddie Corbin. Bullied all his life, Eddie has finally found a place to call home in a neglected downtown animal shelter.

When the city threatens to close the shelter, Eddie must do something he’s never done before — stand up for himself and fight for what’s right.

“The overall themes that first drew me have always remained intact—when you embrace who you are, and the strengths you possess, so can others. We have to be willing to accept help in whatever form it may take; and finally, the joy, comfort, love and support a pet can provide is a true gift,” says Roston.

Created and written by Tony Cookson, Mutt House features 18 original songs with music and lyrics by John Daniel, Cookson, Robb Curtis Brown and David O, including When He Sniffs Me, I’m Lying Here (Scratch Me) and When You Hear Barking, I Hear Words Instead.

“The score has a pop-rock feel with a lot of beautiful melodies,” says Roston.

The six shelter residents that help Eddie learn to relate to other people, especially Hannah Matthews (Claire Adams), include a chihuahua named Pepe, a loyal mutt named Donna; Sophie, the haughty French poodle, Bradley the pit bull, a handsome Lab mix named Digger and Max the corgi.

“This isn’t Cats,” says Roston. The dogs wear street clothes reflecting their characteristics and breed—so there are frilly touches for Sophie the poodle. And that aim of capturing style and type of dog was her goal in designing the dances.

Sophie has a Valley Girl personality and dainty movements.

Bradley is misunderstood and

looking for love, while Digger is athletic with a lot of bravado.

“I’m always interested in something new and different,” says Roston. “Trying to integrate movement that looks like dogs, that captures their spirit and that audiences like, while staying true to breeds has been good fun.”

To incorporate moves of dogs being led on leashes and the familiar “circling,” as an “observer of movement,” Roston drew inspiration from watching dogs on the street.

She also watched a lot of exaggerated dog antics in cartoons.

Since the dogs dance with costumed paws, Roston couldn’t use finger-pointing in her choreography, except in a dream salsa sequence for Pepe and a partner dog. And she’s even included a nod to Bob Fosse.

Tickets range from $39-$59 and performances are Wednesday-Sunday with weekend matinees. For more information, call 213-628-2772 or visit www.mutthousetheMusical.com.

Next up for Roston is “Moves After Dark.” Her company Mixed eMotion Theatrix is one of three chosen for the sitespecific dance program at The Music Center. The troupe will perform a 1920’s-inspired piece Gatsby Redux in The Walt Disney Concert Hall's Keck Amphitheatre and Blue Ribbon Garden with a limited audience following the dancers to each location.

Mayor Gold Set To Dedicate Newest Public Art Addition

By Victoria Talbot A public dedication ceremony for “Folded Square – Alphabet G” by Fletcher Benton, is planned to take place at 1 p.m. on July 17 at the Rexford Mini Park, 362 Rexford Dr. Mayor Julian Gold will dedicate the piece at the free event.

The 8-foot tall sculpture is a donation to the City of Beverly Hills from the Louchheim Family, who will be in attendance at the event. Brought to the Fine Art Commission in a proposal from Commission Chair Michael Smooke, the donation was accepted by the City Council.

The Louchheim’s have had the sculpture “Folded Square – Alphabet G” in the family since it was first purchased

by Marlene and Sandy Louchheim in 1981. When they moved in 1997, they passed it on to their son and his wife, Mark and Cathy Louchheim. Now the family has donated the sculpture to the City.

“We were extremely happy the City accepted our donation,” said Mark Louchheim. “We are delighted to see it restored back to its original intent and that the City placed it in a space where so many others can enjoy its presence.

Cathy and I live in close proximity to its

new home, so we will still be able to enjoy it as well.”

Fletcher Benton is a contemporary American artist best known for his three-dimensional pieces, sometimes with moving parts. Benton’s work, “Folded Square – Alphabet G” is constructed of 1/2-inch plated steel and is part of the Folded Square series, which began as a simple sketch on heavy paper that was cut, bent, curled and folded in the model for the three-dimensional sculpture executed in steel.

The City’s Public Art Collection features over 60 works of art on display at public buildings and spaces throughout the City.

Teuscher Chocolates To Close, New Chocolate Store To Open

By Matt Lopez Longtime Beverly Hills staple Teuscher Chocolates is set to close, but Beverly Hills chocolate lovers will soon have something new and delicious to bite into.

Marc and Phil Covitz, sons of Teuscher’s original owner, Aviva Covitz, are taking over the site and reopening it this fall as AndSons Chocolatiers, reports Eater L.A. Teaming up with the Covitz’s is Beverly Hills pastry chef and social media star Kriss Harvey, who is known for keeping his Instagram page (@krissharv3y) filled with pictures and videos of decadent confections for his nearly 100,000 followers.

He previously worked at The Bazaar at the SLS Beverly Hills.

Teuscher is set to close on July 6, reports Eater L.A., although its cafe arm – which serves coffee and pastries – will temporarily remain open at 430 N. Camden Dr. Teuscher has said they plan to reopen in the Golden Triangle.

Aviva Covitz opened Teuscher Chocolates in Beverly Hills in 1983.

According to Eater L.A., AndSons will offer a similar menu that includes truffles, baked pastries, bonbons and much more.

AndSons will begin selling chocolates online in August before opening officially this fall at 9548 Brighton Way.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THE BURTON WAY MEDIAN–A rendering illustrates how the median on Burton Way could look with the introduction of a waterefficent device to capture stormwater runoff. Some residents have raised objections about the aesthetics of the project and City staff are responding by looking for other options.

Proposed Burton Way Median Has Some Residents Grumbling

By Victoria Talbot Some residents are grumbling over plans for a makeover of the Burton Way Median into a water efficient landscape project that would include the removal of the lush, green turf to comply with the Federal Clean Water Act. Resident and TEAM Beverly Hills alumnus Robert Block and some other residents object to the drought-resistant landscaping and bioswales that will replace the green turf so familiar to residents.

Many claim that they were unaware the City was planning anything more than a model garden for a Green Street Project on the median that would have less impact on the aesthetics.

“Burton Way is this majestic, beautiful promenade down the center of this part of Beverly Hills. It is part of the City’s legacy that makes us so unique. It reminds one of the grand promenades that are a part of many so many of the beautiful cities of Europe. To turn this wonderful boulevard into a ‘cactus zoo’ is beyond disgraceful,” said Block.

In 2016, the City held at least two public outreach meetings on the model project. The meetings were very sparsely attended, with no more than a handful of interested residents, and the project went silent.

At the same time, California was dealing with a five-year drought and water prices soared. Conservation became mandated as a way of life.

Many residents have replaced their own turf with drought-resistant landscaping.

In April, almost two years after the initial proposal, City staff made presentations to the Fine Art Commission and

the Public Works Commission for a project that has expanded exponentially.

Extensive outreach included handdelivered notices to 250 residents near the median; signs announcing the meetings were posted on the Burton Way Median. Ads were placed in the paper.

Though two community meetings were held on May 23 and June 11, both meetings were sparsely attended.

Initially proposed to include a tributary area of 19 acres with storage for 1.28-acre feet of water at a cost of $3,127,000 for Phase I construction, the current project has expanded to include an area of 248 acres, 9-acre feet of storage at a cost of $9,861,000, covering 13 times the area at less than three times the cost.

Since 2015, the City has been working on the project as a part of the Ballona Creek Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP).

Under the Federal Clean Water Act, the Los Angeles Regional Water Control Board issues stormwater permits (MS4 Permits) to local agencies with the stipulation that the MS4 Permit requires the City to reduce pollutants in stormwater.

Then, California State Governor Jerry Brown issued Executive Order B37-16, “Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life,” which will permanently change the public use of water, including prohibiting the irrigation of ornamental turf on public street medians.

Beverly Hills has already made some permanent changes during the reconstruction of North Santa Monica Boulevard and restoration of Beverly (see ‘BURTON WAY MEDIAN’ page 11)

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Storied Bel-Air Residence Hits Market At $23 Million

By Victoria Talbot The once-glorious Zsa Zsa Gabor estate will soon hit the market for $23,450 million and is being marketed for redevelopment.

Represented by Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, the property has a legendary history.

Situated on nearly an acre in Bel Air, the home was built in 1955.

Marketing material purports that the house was commissioned by Howard Hughes. It was the home of Elvis Presley before it belonged to Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Zsa Zsa was famous for just being “Zsa Zsa.” She was a movie star of the Golden Era and a noteworthy socialite, the host of many lavish events at the residence. She is reported to have had Queen Elizabeth, Ronald Reagan,

George H. W. Bush, Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra to her home. Argo, starring Ben Affleck, featured the estate. In 2013, HBO shot Behind the Candelabra, with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas at the home.

The house will be re-introduced to the market with approved plans and permits for a new 24,020 square foot house by Harrison Design.

The original Hollywood Regency style-home is 8,878 square feet.

Features include a grand formal living room, circular foyer entry, expansive patios, chef’s kitchen and formal living and dining rooms-and a view.

“This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history,” said Mills, who said it is ready to be “transformed into an elite compound,” when it is demolished.

father dabbled in a multitude of industries related to clothing, finding particular success with “No Bugs, My Lady,” a paper product to prevent bugs, which he later sold to the Zellerbach Company.

“My mom was amazing, very athletic,” he recalled of the dynamic woman who raised him, volunteering for several charities, golfing, swimming and horseback riding.

Howard recalls childhood summer days at the beach, his mom driving him and his cousins in the Cadillac to the sandy shores of the Pacific and teaching them to swim at a nearby club’s pool.

A member of the Beverly Hills Riding Club with her own horse stabled at the L.A. Riding Academy, where Cedars-Sinai is today, Howard’s mom used to tell stories about riding across the fields of early Beverly Hills. One time while riding along Sunset Boulevard, her riding partner, a VP of Union Bank, tried to convince her to purchase some of the land, which was then selling for $700 an acre.

Howard’s dad didn’t bite at the prospect of buying land in Beverly Hills, believing that there was no better place to live than Hancock Park.

Like so many industries that grew in tandem with the burgeoning real estate developments across town, the golden age of classical Hollywood cinema was reaching its heyday and its emergence captivated Howard and his brothers.

After graduating from Los Angeles High School in 1940, Howard attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts, narrowly avoiding having his education interrupted after the U.S. went to war.

“I was draft bait for World War II at

that time,” he said.

Once Howard turned 18, his superconnected father, who “knew everyone in the picture business” through playing bridge at Hillcrest Country Club, arranged a summer job for him as a messenger boy at Metro-GoldwynMayer Studios. He was paid $16 a week; an amount he said he would have paid to work there. His previous job experience was working as a movie extra for $8.50 a day.

In 1942, after a friend working for Warner Bros. shared that Jack Warner had been appointed to head a First Motion Picture Unit (FMPU) of the Air Force, Howard made use of some MGM letterhead stationary and wrote an inquiry letter to Col. Warner, stating his qualifications to go to work for the studio’s new unit. While still a USC student, he landed the job following a 45minute interview with the recruiting officer, Lt. Ronald Reagan.

“He was the most popular officer on the post,” Howard said of the man who later became president of the U.S. As part of the FMPU, where he worked as a production assistant, Howard helped make training films for the war.

“All the movie stars were assigned to our unit,” he said. “It was amazing.”

When he left the post in 1946 with the rank of staff sergeant, Howard heeded the advice of his parents to eschew the erratic life of the movie studios for a more stable job; although both of his brothers ultimately ended up thriving in the industry, one as an editor and the other as a director.

“My folks wanted me to be a dentist,” he said. Instead, Howard ended up working at Wilshire Insurance Agency, eventually retiring as its owner after 55 years in 1994.

A few years after Mimi and Howard married in 1953, and the subsequent births of their children Julie and James, the Landres family moved into a lovely Beverly Hills home built in 1912, paying a little under $100,000 and becoming the house’s third owners.

A self-described professional volunteer, Mimi, née Millet, quickly added supporting her kids’ education as an involved PTA member into her lively mix of philanthropic endeavors.

Born in South Hampton, England in 1926, the eldest of three, at just nine months old, Mimi came with her family by ship to Seattle, Washington. Her father, who founded Millet’s clothing stores in the UK, had become a millionaire by the age of 30.

Mimi still recalls journeying aboard the Queen Mary at the age of nine on its return maiden voyage to England after her grandfather suddenly died. Together with her little brother Winston, who later founded the Beverly Hills Historical Society, she spent hours playing within the ship’s labyrinth.

“It was very exciting because we had full reign of the ship,” she recalled.

“My brother and I would stand on front of the bow for hours.”

When the family returned from England a year later in 1938, however, someone had decided that the ship’s bow wasn’t the safest spot for child’s play and had sealed off the area.

After returning to the U.S., Mimi’s family settled in Beverly Hills, first at 601 N. Bedford Dr. and then at 904 N. Whittier, which had a lovely garden where Mimi and Howard eventually celebrated their wedding.

Following high school, Mimi went on to graduate from the University of Washington in 1948.

“At university, I thought I was going to be a great opera singer,” recounted Mimi, who said her favorite role was her namesake, La Bohème’s Mimi.

After college, Mimi took a job working for the American Jewish University, which was just getting started. However, her parents were adamant that she not take money from the Jewish community and thus made her donate back to Jewish organizations.

That position proved foundational for her and Mimi attributes her years of graduate study at AJU as the basis for all that she accomplished in her career as a

BEVERLY HILLS volunteer.

From lifelong friendships she forged at Brandeis Camp to her work with the American Zionist Youth Commission and singing in the choir at Temple Beth Am, Mimi began to establish herself as a pillar of the community.

She eventually became president of Junior Hadassah and later the West Coast director of Interns for Peace where she spearheaded a beautification project that fostered cooperation between Jewish and Arab citizens in Israel. She also served for two years as president of Beverly Hills Hadassah at a time when membership grew by 500, prompting her to later become the vice president of Hadassah for the region.

During that time, she and Howard fostered a young boy through Vista Del Mar. In addition, Mimi also volunteered for UCLA, Jewish Family Services and the Jewish Food Bank, to name.

For his part, Howard became increasingly volunteer-minded in his later years, particularly after he fully retired from the insurance industry at the age of 72. He remains particularly proud of the 25 years he spent volunteering as a senior counselor with the Maple Counseling Center.

“To this day I look back on this as one of the best things I’ve ever done,” he said of the local non-profit he volunteered for until two years ago this month, when he retired at 94. “Maple is very high on my list of places that do great things for the community.”

In addition to their grandchildren and brand new great-grandchild, the Landres count their memories of old Beverly Hills as some of their fondest, back when it was a “little town” and “everybody knew everybody.”

From dancing at Harry “Sugie” Sugarman’s The Tropics on Rodeo Drive to enjoying a late bite at ArmstrongSchroeder’s at Spalding and Wilshire after a movie to getting a scoop at Wil Wright's Ice Cream Parlor at the corner of Beverly and Charleville, the City is dotted with a lifetime of memories, even if many of the places have now slipped into the annals of time.

Still at the end of the day, it was their fortuitous meeting 66 years ago in Beverly Hills that continues to take the cake.

“It’s the best thing that has ever happened,” said Howard.

Janice Kamenir-Reznik Named New Beit T’Shuvah Board Chair

CHLA, USC Researchers Team Up To Design, Implant Novel Micropacemaker Around The Heart

Beit T’Shuvah has announced that Janice KamenirReznik has been named new board chair, having officially taken the position on July 1.

Kamenir-Reznik has been an active member of the Beit T’Shuvah community for many years, serving in various leadership roles, including chair of the development committee and co-chair of Beit T’Shuvah’s annual gala.

Established in 1986, Beit T’Shuvah is a residential addiction treatment, prevention and education center that believes everyone has the right to recovery regardless of their ability to pay. Beit T’Shuvah’s treatment model is focused on the integration of the whole self through a unique blend of Judaism, traditional psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step philosophy and the creative arts.

“I am honored to serve this incredible organization,” says Kamenir-Reznik. “I have personally experienced its life-saving work and benefitted from its services. Beit T’Shuvah provides a critical service to our community; we save lives every day.”

A lawyer, she practiced environmental real estate law for more than two decades

Investigators at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and USC have demonstrated the feasibility of implanting a micropacemaker system in the pericardial sac surrounding the heart—a breakthrough that may open up new cardiac pacing options for children and adults.

The micropacemaker— inserted through a single, tiny incision—avoids an invasive surgical procedure and the complications related to long pacemaker leads.

The study, “Minimally Invasive Implantation of a Micropacemaker into the Pericardial Space,” was recently published online, in advance of publication by Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electro-physiology.

“Much about this device and its implantation is novel — starting with implanting an entire pacing system in the pericardial space in a minimallyinvasive fashion, which has never been done before,” said CHLA cardiologist, Yaniv BarCohen, M.D., director of the Southern California Consortium For Technology and Innovation in Pediatrics and professor of clinical pediatrics and Medicine at USC’s Keck School of Medicine.

Janice Kamenir-Reznik

before retiring to establish Jewish World Watch (JWW), an organization she co-founded with the late Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis to respond to genocide and mass atrocities.

JWW is considered a major leader in the anti-genocidegenocide-prevention movement, and is one of the largest grass roots anti-genocide organizations in the world. KamenirReznik has led many delegations to Eastern Congo and to the Darfuri refugee camps both to bear witness to the atrocities and to establish life-saving projects for survivors of rape, genocide and atrocity. (see ‘BEIT T’SHUVAH’ page 12)

Human heart with microprocessor located in the pericardial sac and attached to the left ventricle.

Bar-Cohen and Gerald E. Loeb, M.D., professor in the department of biomedical engineering at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, are lead investigators on the study. Along with Ramen Chmait, M.D., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at USC, the research team is also collaborating on the invention of the first micropacemaker to treat fetuses in utero.

“Our work on the fetal pacemaker served as a bridge to this development,” said Bar-

Cohen. Unlike the fetal system, the micropacemaker has the potential to benefit a much larger population, including children, people born with congenital heart disease and adults for whom traditional pacemakers are less than ideal.

Traditional systems—called transvenous—have been a primary solution for permanent pacing, however, many patients with slow or irregular heartbeats are not considered good candidates for such devices. The electrode wires are passed through veins into the right ventricle or atrium, often traveling long distances, making lead failure a challenge. Leadless systems are located inside blood vessels, increasing the risk of dislodgement and infection.

The CHLA-USC research team performed percutaneous implantations in a model system, with a focus on improving the implantation tools and techniques from one experiment to the next. In the final procedure, they implanted a functional pacing system, achieving up to five days of pacing.

The investigators are seeking an industry partner to collaborate on further develop(see ‘MICROPACEMAKER’ page 12)

BURTON WAY MEDIAN (Continued from page 5)

Gardens Park. Those improvements include a system of bioswales that will help to meet the City’s obligation to contribute to the Clean Water Act, which will treat approximately 1 acre foot of runoff.

The Burton Way Median project, according to Shana Epstein, director of Public Works, will comply with federal and state stormwater regulations; reduce water waste and improve water use efficiency, capture and infiltrate stormwater runoff, create an underground water storage facility (Phase 2 of the project) and provide reuse for irrigation, serve as a pilot project to demonstrate Green Street features and water efficient landscapes and upgrade existing curbs and ramps to be ADA compliant for pedestrian accessibility.

The project calls for two fifteen-foot bioswales to be constructed on each side of the Burton Way Median from Rexford to Oakhurst Drive.

A bioswale is a gently sloped drainage course filled with vegetation and rocks to aid in the collection and removal of silt, debris and pollution in stormwater. They are designed to maximize the time water spends in the swale to clean the water. They are typically found in medians, cul-de-sacs, traffic circles and other traffic-calming features. According to the National Association of City Transportation Officials, “Bioswales are the most effective type of green infrastructure facility in slowing runoff velocity and cleansing water while recharging the underlying groundwater table.”

For this project, the stormwater will then be diverted from the underground piped system into the bioswales

where it will be filtered to remove pollutants and to allow for the infiltration into the groundwater aquifer below, said Epstein.

The Burton Way Median is part of a larger project; the EWMP plan calls for the City of Beverly to capture 87 acre-feet of urban runoff every storm event to achieve the expected water quality standards.

Phase 1 will capture 4 acre feet of runoff through the bioswales; Phase 2 will capture another 5 acre feet in the underground storage tanks, resulting in 9 of the 87 acre feet. It may help to reduce the number of future bioswales constructed.

Staff determined that the Burton Way Median was a promising site for many reasons. The City has the transportation right-of-way; it is a significant tributary drainage site that provides for a large project site and it will have minimal traffic impact.

After the drought steered municipalities away from irrigating lawns, the median turf had to be replaced.

The project will retain the trees and art works on the center of the median. Still in the design phase, the landscape design is not locked in.

“The primary feedback related to the project was related to the aesthetics of the median. In response, staff is working with the design consultants to find plant varieties that may offer another alternative while also achieving the project goals,” said Epstein.

The design plans and specifications for public bidding are expected to be completed by January 2019. The contract is anticipated to be awarded by April 2019.

Feedback for the project will be brought to the Public Works Commission Aug 8.

SCHOOL REUNIONS –This year the Beverly Hills High School Class of 1968 will be celebrating a 50 year reunion, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 11.

retractable features. After deployment, the hinge returns to a 90-degree angle, as the micropacemaker orients itself to minimize system stress.

The new micropacemaker enables pacing of the left ventricle; most systems only pace the right ventricle. A growing body of research supports the benefits of left ventricle pacing for better cardiac synchrony.

In addition, the design allows formation of a biological support matrix that results from natural fibrosis. “As a mechanical support, this living connective tissue has benefits over the use of synthetic polymer, which can degrade over time,” said Loeb.

He added that further testing of the device is ongoing.

METRO MOA

(Continued from page 1)

The summary of the key terms of the Wilshire/Rodeo agreement included the following: 1. Holiday Moratorium – Article XIII The City has a policy of prohibiting heavy construction in the Business Triangle during the holiday season, the busiest season for the Triangle, from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day. Metro has agreed to comply. Metro will work outside the Triangle or within its staging areas, which will be enclosed by a minimum 20-foot high sound wall to avoid the appearance of construction.

Construction is also prohibited on days when major events typically occur within the City, such as the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards.

2. Temporary Construction Barrier at N. Canon Drive Stakeholders with businesses on N. Canon Drive requested the installation of a temporary sound wall across N. Canon Drive to mitigate construction impacts. The installation will aid Metro by reducing traffic interference and allowing them to expand their staging area. Public outreach and hearings at the Traffic and Parking Commission resulted in a plan to design a temporary sound wall-cul-de-sac at N. Canon Drive and Wilshire Boulevard. Metro will also improve Canon Drive, Crescent Drive and Clifton Way with traffic control, signage and striping identified by City staff, and restore Canon Drive when construction is complete in 2025.

3. Working Hours During Station Excavation Excavation is the most impactful phase of the construction. The staging yard for the Wilshire/Rodeo station is much smaller than La Cienega, which means the contractor may excavate the station box from the street. The contractor proposed excavation would take place at night but concerns over noise impacts on the hotels and residents led to a request by City staff for a noise study of the impacts. That study has not yet been received. Excavation through the

STOP METRO

(Continued from page 1)

The new campaign, which can be viewed online at purplethreat.com, is separate from the school district’s own years-long legal battle to best protect students, staff and residents against both Metro and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). BHUSD began that fight almost seven years ago in response to the L.A.’s transportation behemoth’s decision to re-route the “locally preferred” alignment from Beverly Hills into Century City via Santa Monica Boulevard to instead travel circuitously under BHHS to stop at the yetto-be-built Century City Center on Constellation and Avenue of the Stars.

Multiple sources estimate that the change will cost taxpayers at least $400 million more, in addition to triggering widespread concerns in the community about student safety. Running a subway line under BHHS further requires tunneling through pockets of methane gas and scores of abandoned oil wells.

“Students and staff...are at risk.,” emphasized one resident who helped craft the website. “When Metro starts tunneling underneath [BHHS], disturbing an oil field that contains pockets of methane and hydrogen sulfite gases, threats ranging from explosions to

street is limited to 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. on weekends. The hours are subject to Council approval and a noise study that demonstrates that the activity will not generate an unreasonable impact to residents, hotels and businesses.

4. Work Hours within the Staging Yards A portion of the work will be conducted during evening hours within the staging yards, enclosed with a 20-foot sound wall. Metro must provide the City with a work plan that includes mitigation measure for the protection of the surrounding neighborhood. The City Council reserves the right to require that any work that unreasonably impacts the area be conducted during daylight hours.

5. Measurable Noise Standard Metro will comply with a noise standard that sets a limit of 5dBA above ambient noise, measure at the property line of the nearest residential noise receptor, monitored on a 15-minute average. Metro has agreed to conduct noise monitoring at the property lines of hotels at heights that are at or above the line of site to construction below.

Metro must comply with a list of mitigation measures and a “5-Step Noise Control Plan” intended to gain compliance with the 5dBA standard. The independent noise monitor has the authority to enforce the noise standard and halt work. Noisy activities, such as jackhammering, are prohibited from 6 p.m. – 9 a.m., Mon. – Fri. on all streets and 6 p.m. – 10 a.m. Sat.- Sun. 6. Weekend Work for Full Closures of Wilshire Boulevard Metro is required to complete its deck installation over Wilshire Boulevard and piling across Wilshire Boulevard over 13 consecutive weekends between Fri. at 8 p.m. and Mon. at 7 a.m., similar to the La Cienega station.

From La Cienega staff learned that full weekend closures result in fewer impacts to most businesses and commuters. The closures will occur between N. Canon Drive and Beverly Drive.

7. Incentives to Complete Decking Operation Faster

An incentive structure to encourage limiting highly impactful work to the shortest amount of time possible includes a provision that Metro must pay the City $50,000/day for every day beyond 13 weekends on Wilshire, five weekends on Beverly Drive, unless the delay is beyond Metro control. Metro’s contractor will receive a $25,000 bonus per day that it completes the deck installation/piling across Wilshire Boulevard or deck removal work prior to the conclusion of the ninth weekend for each phase on Wilshire, and three weekends for Beverly Drive, possibly as a credit against the contractor’s business license tax obligation to the City of Beverly Hills. It is unclear why the City of Beverly Hills is providing the incentive at their own expense.

8. Business Mitigation Assistance Metro will provide “business mitigation assistance” during construction, including funding programs for advertising local businesses, parking validation, valet services if an existing valet service is impacted, signage and social media for parking availability, public relations and public affairs representatives, public outreach programs, banners and signage for affected businesses, clean-up services for sidewalks, buildings, graffiti etc. at the construction site and other urban design and business assistance. Metro will continue to conduct stakeholder meetings and will change the design graphics twice per year. Metro has agreed to fund the programs regardless of their cost because of the importance of the Triangle to the City’s economic success, approximately $20 million.

9. Traffic Mitigation Wilshire Boulevard: 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. must have three lanes in each direction (two lanes when K-rail is permitted); 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. two lanes in each direction; 4 p.m. – 9 p.m. three lanes in each direction (two lanes when K-rail is permitted); and 9 p.m. – 7 a.m. one lane in each direction.

Beverly Drive: 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. two lanes in each direction; 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., one lane in each direction; 4 p.m. – 8 p.m. two lanes in each direction and overnight, 8 p.m. – 7 a.m. one lane for

about a half-block in each direction.

It is unclear what impact the singlelane traffic will have on restaurants and businesses on Beverly Drive.

10. On-Street Parking – Article XII Metro will not park, stage, or queue vehicles or equipment on the street except in permitted workspaces unless by agreement with the City. Metro will reimburse the City for any loss of revenue from parking meters. Any spaces removed by the removal of meters will be substituted with an equivalent number of spaces, at the same rate or less, at the nearest facility.

11. Protection for Beverly Hills High School Metro will develop noise criteria in consultation with the Beverly Hills Unified School District and High School administrators; Metro and the City will jointly establish ambient noise levels at a location near the High School’s temporary bungalows; Metro’s contractor will develop noise control plans intended to achieve compliance with the noise criteria. The noise control plan must be updated at least quarterly and submitted to the City for review; Metro will conduct noise and vibration monitoring at the High School at locations mutually agreed to by the School District and Metro; Metro will conduct daily monitoring to verify compliance with all mitigation measures identified in the project’s Final and Supplemental Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement; and If Metro identifies a violation of a mitigation measure or receives a complaint of excessive noise or vibration, it will immediately be required to review its monitoring data or conduct additional monitoring, to ensure noise and vibration levels do not exceed applicable criteria levels. Metro will immediately require its contractor to implement additional mitigation measures or, if possible, reduce construction activities to bring noise and vibration levels below the criteria levels.

immediate sickness...will be unleashed.”

Recent BHHS graduate and previous student representative to the Board of Education Jonathan Artal said that many students are concerned about the future as it relates to Metro.

“I’m concerned that Metro tunneling underneath BHHS may pose serious risks to student and staff safety and wellbeing,” said Artal, who will matriculate at Stanford University this fall.

Almost two years ago, on Aug. 16, 2016, U.S. Federal Judge George Wu ruled that the FTA acted in an “arbitrary and capricious manner” with respect to the environmental effects of tunneling under BHHS in order to reach Century City. Wu further ruled that a supplemental Environmental Impact Review needed to be undertaken in order to give the community a better opportunity to understand the risks related to running a subway tunnel under BHHS. Both the City of Beverly Hills and BHUSD currently have federal lawsuits challenging the legal sufficiency of the resulting court-ordered environmental analysis, which was released in November 2017.

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich is also lending her voice to the fight against Metro’s plan.

“I truly do have great concerns for

the school and the health and welfare of the students and residents,” said Brockovich, who in 2003 filed suit against BHUSD, claiming that oil wells under the BHHS campus were linked to hundreds of cases of cancer. “[Metro’s plan is] posing another risk to the health and welfare of the students at that school and most people have no idea that the Metro line is going to right under the school.”

The change.org petition, which currently had four signatures as of press time Thursday evening, states: “This detour will likely disturb pockets of deadly methane gas and hydrogen sulfide, risking the lives and health of students and faculty.”

The website emphasizes that “students are at risk” from methane gas, which is a potentially flammable and explosive hazard, as well as hydrogen sulfide gas.

“Methane gas, toxic chemicals and teenagers don’t mix, but this dangerous combination is on the verge of exploding at Beverly High, turning the school into a mega-disaster,” states the narrator’s voice in one video posted on the Stop The Purple Threat website, entitled No Subway Under BHHS. A three-part series of videos, entitled Why We Fight: Beverly High v.

Metro also posted on the website,

which was produced by BHHS students through the on-campus KBEV television station, further seeks to educate viewers on the perils of allowing Metro to run a tunnel under the high school.

“Simply put, the Purple Line’s designated route under BHHS is a recipe for disaster,” said BHHS senior Sean Toobi, who last month joined the Board of Education as its student board member.

“The noise generated by the construction creates an unbearable learning environment for the students and staff,” he told the Courier. “This is no right vs. left issue, but rather right vs. wrong.

And a subway under BHHS is by no means a smart choice.”

The petition calls on the U.S. president, who owns two homes on North Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, as well as the U.S. Transportation Secretary to suspend federal funding in order to gather more information about health and safety risks, as well as other route options that best address student safety and mass transit needs.

“Stopping the federal funding for this project will allow for an independent review and time to bring all parties to the table to resolve this matter,” the website states. “This new route is dangerous, posing health risks to students and faculty.”

Celebrities and renowned artists gathered at Hollywood’s NeueHouse to raise more than $400,000 for Project Angel Food (www.projectangelfood.org) at its 25th Angel Art Charity Auction.

Founder Marianne Williamson, 2018 Angel Art Honorary Chair China Chow, and Executive Director Richard Ayoub welcomed the 350 attendees, who included actors Charlie Sheen and Thomas Dekker, actress Sharon Lawrence, model Julia Stambler, mystery writer Carol Higgins Clark, host on NBC-TV’s Extra Michael Corbett and celebrity chef Stuart O’Keeffe.

Hollywood Game Night’s Jane Lynch presented the Angel Artist Award to Catherine Opie, an AIDS activist, who told of delivering meals from Project Angel Food’s first kitchen in a West Hollywood church.

Gabriel Butu of Mulholland Auctions was the night’s auctioneer, dispensing artworks donated by artists Alma Allen, Alexandra Grant, David Hockney, Shio Kusaka, Antonio Lopez, Catherine Opie, Anthony Pearson, Herb Ritts, Ed Ruscha, and Sage Vaughn to help raise funds for the vital services.

Since 1989, Project Angel Food has prepared more than 11 million meals and delivers some 11,000 weekly to men, women and children living with critical illnesses. Since the very first Angel Art Charity Auction, noted artists have created and donated masterpieces to be auctioned off, raising more than $11 million. ****** The Help Group staged its 9th Festival of Arts: A Celebration of Young Artists at the Santa Monica Art Studios. It was sponsored by the Bear Givers, a non-profit dedicated to bringing happiness to the lives of children and adults in need through a variety of programs.

Barbara Firestone, the Help Group’s president/CEO, said that the Bear Givers Empowered Art Program enables children with special needs to experience the joy and pride of creating art.

Two exhibitions by Help Group students were named ”Through Our Eyes,” a collection of 170 original paintings, and “The Art Of Stem,” a display of honored robotics.

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

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I am at a loss to understand why the City Council permits the Bird or any other scooter to be left on City sidewalks. Not only are they on the sidewalks but have been left on various places in Beverly Gardens along Santa Monica and Wilshire Boulevards.

I have rarely seen them on the streets (where I am informed they are supposed to travel) but almost always on the sidewalks, scooting along and barely missing people. It is only a matter of time before someone is hit while walking peacefully on a sidewalk.

Riding a scooter on the sidewalks and parkway of Beverly Gardens is a genuine hazard to walkers and runners. We should not have to dodge fast

moving vehicles, albeit small, in order to avoid injury. Are there any instructions to the police department for enforcement of the law in this regard?

With respect to drop-offs, why should the owners of the scooters get free access to sidewalks and other properties of the City? If they are using it as a parking lot–which they are–why should they not pay? Unless, of course, it is illegal, in which case the law should be enforced.

Licensing these Bird scooters to be on our City’s streets might be a good source of revenue.

They certainly do not bring business to the community, just hazards.

Cartoon for the Courier by Janet Salter

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 6). Your life will reflect certain trends of the time, though in many ways you’ll be a thought leader. You’ll be heard, admired, followed and loved. The money is extra good in September and November. You’ll travel to win deals and more in 2019. Personal vitality will increase because of the change you make in February. Gemini and Libra adore you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In the animal kingdom, enemies are simply other creatures competing for resources. In human terms, enemies seem more nefarious. Are they? Figure out if the opposition is sinister or just competing for the same thing as you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll be wise to spend several hours cultivating good fortune by way of talking with others, sharing your heart, serving, helping and cleaning and clearing your environment to make way for good luck to drop on in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Friendship is the most valuable thing that the day has to offer. A spontaneous opportunity to connect will pop up and it will be worthwhile for you to veer from your original plan and be social.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve been paying attention. Your best guess is a strong one. Act on it. Don’t talk about it first or you could talk yourself out of it. Action will begin a fortunate chain reaction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll gravitate to the strong personalities, the intimidating presence, the people who are sure to impress and even intoxicate you. Get ready: They’re sure to throw you off balance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dissatisfaction is part of the human experience, so don’t blame yourself or anyone else. Offer yourself some kindness, and wish the best for everyone around you. You’ll be surprised how that turns it around for the better.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can only experience life from your own point of view. So even though you know that you are not the center of the universe, you have to live as though you are, taking the very best care of yourself that you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Socrates said: “I know only one thing: that I know nothing.” And if Socrates (widely regarded as one of the finest minds of antiquity) knew nothing, then you really have to excuse yourself for being under-informed today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is not a game you win once and become champion of forever. Life’s battles are fought over and over. Truly, some of them are getting old. But persist anyway.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Don’t skimp on the details today. It’s important to be faithful in your attention and commitment to small things because it’s the small things that will build your strength.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr.19). Beware of collective delusion. When you have an unpopular opinion, it’s easy to think that you’re the delusional one–when you’re actually the only one who understands the reality of what’s going on.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Take a picture of the moon or a sunset and it becomes clear that life often looks a lot better than the picture of life. But then there are times when the picture looks better.

You’ll go out of your way because of a photograph.
