By Victoria Talbot The Traffic and Parking Commission (TPC) reviewed additional locations to enhance tour bus activity for visitors in the Beverly Hills business triangle Thursday. The meeting sought to prioritize possible active passenger tour bus loading zone locations based on recommendations from an ad hoc committee established in July 2014. The City Council is looking for options to mitigate traffic impacts generated by tour bus activity. Stakeholders include the CVB, tour bus operators and residents. Currently, tour bus zones include the former Metro bus cutout on North Santa Monica Boulevard between Crescent

Drive and Canon Drive for loading and unloading passengers only and the Third Street/Civic Center tour bus zone for passenger loading and 2-hour tour bus staging. The committee presented several options. Three were selected for further study including one that was not on the list of recommendations, the existing cutout at N. Canon Drive. The location was first rejected in 2010 by the City Council because of objections raised by the residents on Park Way. Commissioner Jeff Levine, who previously served on the Commission, suggested the location was unanimously approved in 2010, and that it (see ‘VACCINATION’ page 13)

By Laura Coleman At 93, Perl Oliff may well be the oldest working aesthetician in Beverly Hills. For the past seven years, she has worked at Kabuki Salon on Crescent five days a week, giving her regular clients one of two facials every few weeks to keep them looking and feeling beautiful. “I love what I do and love being with people,” Perl explains simply. Born in Chicago in 1922, Perl went on to graduate from Northwestern with a theatre major and an English minor. “My father said I had to get an education license because I would never become a star,” she said. After college, Perl “tried to make it in New York,” she recalled of the lively nine months she spent

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW SYNTHETIC TURF IN RESIDENTIAL FRONT YARDS Currently, the City does not allow synthetic or artificial turf in the front yard of single-family and multi-family properties. The Planning Commission will consider a proposed ordinance to allow synthetic turf in residential front yards and allow the synthetic turf to count toward required landscaping. Under the proposed ordinance, the installation of synthetic turf would require a building permit. This Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The adoption and implementation of the Ordinance is eligible for a class 5 categorical exemption for minor alterations in land use limitations and will not have a significant environmental impact. Accordingly, the Planning Commission will consider the recommendation to find the Ordinance exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 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.

LEAVING IS A BEAR — Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Alexander Stettinski announced this week that he is leaving the City to take a similar position as VP of Operations for Strategic Planning for Visit West Hollywood. Stettinski visited The Courier offices this week to say farewell to his friends, including The Courier’s mascot Bear. The Chamber board has formed a search committee to identify a successor. “Maybe my leaving the chamber is an opportunity. I trust the board,” he said. “I’m an idea. The board, the staff, the leaders in our community – they made it grow.”

School Security Discussion Delayed Until New Beverly Hills Police Chief Starts Job By Laura Coleman Even as the start of school edges closer and safety concerns ramp up, Beverly Hills’ public schools are unlikely to see the near-term return of the City’s onetime school resource officers (SRO) where one Beverly Hills police officer was allocated to each of the five local campuses. At Tuesday morning’s City-School liaison committee meeting, which included Mayor Julian Gold, Councilmember Willie Brien, Board of Education President Brian Goldberg and Board VP Howard Goldstein, Gold confirmed that police would resume providing the same level of coverage as last school year when the new school year commences next month and that any discussion on returning the SRO program would be tabled until after incoming BHPD Chief Dominick Rivetti settles in to his new job next month. “The current plan is to continue what we did at the end of last year,” he

said. Goldberg voiced frustration that the discussion got tabled until after the new police chief is in place. He said that he was concerned that the current allocation is insufficient and that he believes Beverly Hills police should provide greater security at the schools. “We will come back in September,” Goldberg pledged. Following the collapse of private security provider EBI last year, which for nearly a year provided the school district with security coverage comparable to the City-funded SRO program, BHPD allocated officer Jesse Perez to serve as the dedicated school liason officer for all five BHUSD schools. Gold told The Courier that independent of the City Council, the BHPD captains could make the decision to deploy a second school liaison officer “based on staffing” before Rivetti assumes his role.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Board of Education To Discuss Support For New Conflict of Interest Legislation By Laura Coleman Contractors throughout the state have been scrambling in the wake of last month’s ruling in the case of Stephen K. Davis v. Fresno Unified School District, where the Court of Appeal ruled that conflicts of interest engaged in by individual consultants as well as corporations and limited liability companies are subject to its reach of Government Code section 1090. In fact, there is talk in Sacramento that new legislation may be on the horizon as a sort of “get out of jail free card” for contractors who skirted conflict of interest provisions that the new ruling clarifies clearly pertain to contractors and consultants. As of press time, last night, the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education was poised to discuss what steps they could take to impact the new legislation - particularly as attempts are being made to amend multiple codes that would overrule the Davis ruling. Various proposed retroactive amendments, including AB 566, SB 569, AB 552, AB 1185 and AB 975, aim to reverse the California law prohibiting consultants to school districts from having a financial interest in the contracts on which they are consulting to avoid conflicts of interest. The June 1 Davis ruling was partic-

ularly meaningful for BHUSD as it moves forward in its legal battle against former facilities manager Karen Christiansen, who is now due some $20.5 million from the district after a jury ruled that the district improperly voided its contract with Christiansen's LLC. According to BHUSD attorney Fred Fenster with Greenberg Glusker, the Davis ruling is pivotal for the district’s appeal. In 2012, Christiansen was criminally convicted by a jury for self-dealing by engaging in a conflict of interest. However, that verdict was subsequently reversed on appeal because the Court ruled that she was an independent contractor. In the civil action filed by Christiansen against the district, L.A. Superior Court Judge Stephen Czuleger adopted the interpretation of Sec. 1090 employed by the Court of Appeal, which enabled the jury to award her $13.7 million in damages. (The $20.5 million figure includes interest and attorney’s fees.) “I am optimistic that once the district is able to introduce out evidence of conflict of interest and misrepresentations by Christiansen that we will prevail and a civil jury just like the criminal jury will find her at fault and award us damages plus interest ,” Board of Education President Brian Goldberg said.

Beverly Hills School District Nabs Arts For All Advancement Grant By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills Unified School District got another feather in its cap when it nabbed an $18,100 matching Arts For All grant last week through L.A. County’s Arts for All Advancement Grant program. A July 1 letter addressed to Superintendent Steve Kessler announcing the award from Los Angeles County Office of Education Superintendent Arturo Delgado and LA County Arts Commission Executive Director Laura Zucker stated: “We applaud the work happening in your district and the continued commitment you have made in arts ed-

ucation.” The district plans to use the grant to support professional development for kindergarten and first grade dance/theatre teachers to attend a conference for VAPA (visual arts and performing arts) specialists and to increase the VAPA Coordinator from a 2/5 to a 3/5 position. “Professional development is critical for the continued success for all our programs including VAPA,” said Board of Education President Brian Goldberg. “I am pleased that we were awarded this match grant and our district was recognized for our ongoing commitment to Arts for All,” he added.

Diane Mitchell Celebrates 50 Years With Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills By Laura Coleman After 50 years working at Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills, Diane Mitchell still comes to work five days a week with a smile on her face. Long gone are the elegant hatand-gloved shoppers who once flocked to the store where associates would provide top-notch service and “little maids” in uniforms would promptly see that all ashtrays were cleared to provide customers with a fresh place to perch their cigarettes. But Diane’s “come to work with a great attitude” approach to service - and she has pretty much worked in every department - has essentially remained the same; as has her smart wardrobe, including the essential stockings and heels. The world has changed considerably since Diane began working as a stockgirl in the gifts salon when she was 15 on June 19, 1965, travelling to Beverly Hills via bus from South Central–just a few months before the Watts riots broke. “It was very transitional to me as an African American coming to work in Beverly Hills,” Diane described. “Beverly Hills was elegance, prestige...Saks was a prestigious store.” After graduating from St. Mary’s Academy, Diane went on to get her

degree in business administration at Mount St. Mary's University–all the while working at Saks. Today, she counts three daughters, Faith, Confidence, and Shalonda, and four grandchilDiane Mitchell dren. Diane still recalls fondly the customers, designers (like Emilio Pucci and Oscar de la Renta) and colleagues she has known over the years. For example, she warmly recalled Mrs. Danny Thomas, Mrs. Dick Van Dyke, Mrs. Charlton Heston and Mrs. Walter Matthau as “great people to have waited on.” In fact, for years, the Saks had a ready supply of Lucie Ann nightgowns on hand for Mrs. Matthau, who, Diane said, liked to wear them to apply her going out make-up and “never used the same gown again.” “People ask me if I’m retiring, and I say: ‘No,’” she said following a celebration the luxury shopping destination organized for its longestrunning employee Wednesday. “I enjoy the customers and the employees,” she added.

Future Public Access To Hannah Carter Garden Appears Worthless To All Sides By Laura Coleman The fate of the Hannah Carter Garden still hangs in abeyance - but one element about the future of the UCLAowned 1.5-acre Japanese-style garden appears to be taking shape: future public access no longer appears to be importance to either UCLA or the heirs of Hannah Carter who filed suit after the university undertook plans to sell the garden surreptitiously. Over the past several years, the heirs of Hannah Carter, for whom the garden was named, have been embroiled in a legal battle with the University of California, Los Angeles - ever since the L.A. institution took steps to sell the garden and adjacent residence shortly after Hannah Carter’s death in 2010. The garden and residence had been bequeathed to the university in 1964 by former UC Regent Edward Carter with the caveat that the garden be maintained “in perpetuity” by the university. UCLA has been enjoined from selling the properties since July 27, 2012, when L.A. Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole issued a preliminary injunction and called the university “duplicitous” in its attempt to sell the garden. Earlier this year, UCLA balked at an

offer by Mr. Schuyler Moore to purchase the garden and re-open it to the public, in full support of Carter’s heirs who originally faulted UCLA for its attempt to sell off the valuable land into private hands. UCLA originally listed the garden and adjacent residence for sale, through Coldwell Banker, for a total of $14.7 million in 2012 before the heirs of Hannah Carter filed suit. Moore originally offered $18.15 million for the garden and adjacent residence. His offer, which was an all-cash offer or if public access was to be continued, effective discounts would be allowed, included establishing a a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (“Garden Charity”) to own the garden, which he would subsequently grant permanent conservation easement over the garden and access through the driveway of the residence. It also included keeping it open to the public and allowing access from the residence driveway. The two parties, the heirs and UCLA, have now been instructed to meet with the judge on July 29 in an effort to come up with a solution. As for what will emerge at this month’s meeting, that remains to be seen. However, public access seems not to be an issue any longer.

Tooley Plans Neighborhood-Friendly Redevelopment Of Maple Post Office

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS REVISING AND CODIFYING RECONSTRUCTION STANDARDS RELATING TO BUILDINGS DAMAGED BY DISASTER. A summary of that Ordinance, which has been prepared for publishing in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933, follows. Summary of Ordinance The City’s zoning code establishes regulations for buildings, properties and uses in the City. In the event of an emergency or natural disaster, buildings can be damaged and destroyed, necessitating reconstruction after the disaster. The City of Beverly Hills currently has regulations that govern certain aspects of disaster reconstruction that were established after the 1994 Northridge earthquake; however, there is a desire to codify, update and clarify the code language related to reconstruction. The Ordinance wzould update, clarify, and codify the existing disaster reconstruction policies. The Ordinance would not substantially change the existing disaster reconstruction regulations. The Ordinance adds a new Article 46 of Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code, which outlines the disaster reconstruction regulations. Changes proposed under the ordinance include a requirement that single family homes rebuilt after a disaster undergo Design Review, if in an area of the City that is subject to Design Review. Additional changes in the Ordinance include minor language revisions to ensure consistency with the current structure and practices of the Community Development Department. Further, the Ordinance establishes new time limits for temporary structures and uses after a disaster. Under the Ordinance the Director of Community Development may issue permits after a disaster to allow temporary uses and temporary structures for a period of 180 days with an optional 180-day extension. Finally, the Ordinance provides for the creation of a Disaster Reconstruction Administrative Guidelines document that will contain detailed information on the disaster reconstruction regulations and policies. This document will summarize the regulations set forth in code section 10-3-46 and also outline the City’s policies for implementation of these regulations. A certified copy of the entirety of the text of the Ordinance is available in the office of the City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 and is available for public inspection at that location.

By Victoria Talbot In a meeting at Roxbury Park, Patrick Tooley, managing partner of Tooley Interests LLC, shared the firm’s plans with stakeholders for the old United States post office located at 325 N. Maple Dr. The building was sold to Tooley Interests last summer when the USPS decided to downsize the 67,000 square foot operation. The USPS will lease back a significantly downsized space for a distribution hub and retail sales operation with post office boxes and a service counter. The new USPS will be 7,500-8,000 square feet, with a smaller loading zone capacity and will continue to use the underground parking entrance on Maple Drive. The building will not be demolished and setbacks will remain. “All new space is created within the existing building,” said Tooley. “There will be no expansion, height remains unchanged, and there is no request for variances.” The renovated building will be re-oriented to Third Street and have a generous 5,784 square feet of common area. “I heard rumors that there would be a high-rise condo tower,” said local resident Victoria Entine, pleased that change would be minimal. “Part of what we’re doing is to create

more activity on Third Street,” away from the residential area, he said. “The Maple entrance will be less active.” Next door to the post office, the building will have a 1,500-2,000 square foot restaurant space, for artisanal foods and coffee, with an outdoor seating area and table service, and some retail. Tooley is looking for tenants in the entertainment business or technology industries. “We have been approached by tenants but we have no leases or contracts other than the post office,” he said. “They have a five year lease with a 20year option. It’s a very internal project with external enhancements. Construction is minimal and square footage stays the same.” The building will also be enhanced with drought-tolerant landscaping features and a bicycle station for future bike sharing on Third Street. The street trees will remain on Maple Drive. “We’re a second-generation developer with thoughtful design presented to the community so they know what we’re designing and what we’re advocating, said Tooley.” The firm will continue to work on the design with the Planning Commission and the Architectural Review. “We hope to start construction in the first quarter of next year,” he said.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE ARTICLE 2.5: PUBLIC NOTICING, ARTICLE 32: HISTORIC PRESERVATION, ARTICLE 32.5: HISTORIC INCENTIVE PERMIT, AND SECTION 9-1-104 RELATED TO DEMOLITION PERMITS FOR POTENTIALLY HISTORIC PROPERTIES. A summary of that Ordinance, which has been prepared and published in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933 follows: Summary of Ordinance Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 32 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (“Historic Preservation Ordinance”) provides the ability to “acknowledge, honor, and encourage the continued maintenance and preservation of those select properties in the city that, through exceptional architecture, contribute to the city’s cultural history.” Major amendments proposed to the Ordinance include the following: 1.

Revision to select definitions (BHMC §10-3-3202). Several definitions are modified. New definitions are introduced for terms such as “architect,” “iconic property,” “exceptional work,” “eligible property,” “person of great importance,” “person of local prominence,” “property of extraordinary significance,” “substantial integrity,” and others. Some definitions are deleted, such as “archaeological site.” 2. Revision to the Intent and Purpose of the ordinance (§10-3-3203). Refinements are made to the existing language. 3. Revision to the Powers and Duties of the Cultural Heritage Commission (§10-3-3208). Refinements are made to the existing language. 4. Establishment of the Inventory of Eligible Properties (§10-3-3210). The Cultural Heritage Commission is responsible for determining which properties are eligible for listing on the inventory and for maintaining and updating the list. 5. Revision to Landmark Designation Criteria (§§10-3-3212; 3213). The criteria for landmark status are raised to a standard that would capture “exceptional” or “iconic” works and properties. The criteria also allow for more leeway if the designation is expressly sought or agreed to by the property owner. 6. Revision to Historic District Designation Criteria (§10-3-3213). Historic District designation criteria are modified to eliminate non-contiguous (thematic) districts and districts in the single-family residential zone. 7. Revision to Landmark and Historic District Designation Proceedings (§10-3-3215). Institutes timeframes within which applications must be reviewed and acted upon. Establishes a new “Preliminary Evaluation and Hearing” procedure. Increases notification times and requirements to provide information to the applicant/property owners. Designation of a landmark property or district where the property owner(s) oppose designation requires a “supermajority” vote of the City Council (four positive votes, unless a quorum is constituted of three members, then three positive votes). 8. Clarification and expansion of temporary protections regarding permit issuance on properties while designation proceedings are pending (§10-3-3217). Provides protection to potentially historic properties until a designation decision is reached, while allowing for permits to be issued on improvements that would not detrimentally alter the character-defining features of the potential historic resource. 9. Clarification of the operation of the hold period on permits to alter buildings older than 45 years (§10-3-3218). Institutes timeframes within which the right to building permits must be exercised after a decision has been rendered on the historic status of a property. 10. Refinement of Certificate of Appropriateness procedures (§10-3-3219). Revises the standard of review and compliance when a Certificate of Appropriateness is required. 11. Revision to Certificate of Economic Hardship findings and procedures (§10-3-3220). Application requirements are clarified. Finding requirements are revised. Allows for conditions of approval to be applied to the Certificate and extension of time periods to be considered. 12. Replacement of the Director’s Determination of Ineligibility process (§10-3-3204) with a new Certificate of Ineligibility Process (§10-3-3221). Allows for a property owner to request a determination that the subject property is not an eligible property and therefore is exempt from the provisions of Article 32. 13. Insertion of a section to enable designated historic properties to apply for inclusion into the City’s In Lieu Parking Program (§§10-3-3228; 10-3-3311). Expands the properties eligible to apply for in lieu parking from those that are adaptively reusing a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places (current requirement) to all “designated historic properties.” Article 33 (“In Lieu Parking”) is updated accordingly to maintain consistency. 14. Institution of timeframes within which applications must be processed and acted upon in multiple provisions in Article 32. 15. Expansion of the applicability of the Historic Incentive Permit (§10-3-3251). Currently only designated historic properties may apply for the HIP; the expansion would enable those properties that have been determined to be eligible at a preliminary hearing by the Cultural Heritage Commission to also be eligible to apply. 16. Establishment of a period in which to exercise demolition rights after demolition permit issuance on certain potentially historic properties (§9-1-104). 17. Additional minor text changes in the Municipal Code. To maintain internal consistency, minor amendments to other sections of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code are required. These amendments include: 18. Revision to BHMC Article 2.5 (Public Notice Requirements) to reflect the new and revised public noticing timelines included in the ordinance. 19. Revision to BHMC Article 33 (In Lieu Parking), specifically §10-3-3303, to reflect the expansion of the in lieu parking program to designated historic properties, as stipulated in (new) §10-3-3228. The provisions of the Ordinance will become effective one hundred and twenty (120) days after enactment of the Ordinance, to allow for the preparation of administrative procedures, and for consideration by the City Council of applicable fees. A certified copy of the entirety of the text of the Ordinance is available in the office of the City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 and is available for public inspection at that location. For more information about the Ordinance, contact Reina Kapadia, Associate Planner, Community Development Department, at 310.285.1129 or rkapadia@beverlyhills.org. BYRON POPE, MMC City Clerk

Mending Kids Sets ‘Hometown Mission’ Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Names Saturday To Improve Lives of 20 Children Paul S. Viviano New President/CEO Tomorrow, the nonprofit Mending Kids will accomplish its “Hometown Mission” providing reconstructive surgery for 20 children from L.A. and Southern California. Performed at Specialty Surgical Center of Beverly Hills, the procedures on children, ranging in age from 1 year to 18, will include removing pronounced facial scars, a keloid (raised scar after an injury has healed) from an ear, releasing the tendon on a child’s badly burned leg to improve walking, and taking off a large, dark hairy mole covering a child’s chin. “These are kids who don’t have access to medical care,” says Christina Farrut, Mending Kids’ director of social services. “Or their insurance won’t cover what they consider to be cosmetic procedures. But in most cases, the children are incredibly self conscience, and often don’t want to go to school. These operations are transformative; and thoroughly improve a child’s quality of life.” Dr. Andre Panossian, with an office at K&B Surgical Center, is one of seven doctor volunteers for the day of outpatient services along with other plastic surgeons including Dr. David Kubler and Dr. John R. Reinisch. He specializes in cleft-palate treatment and on surgery day, starting at 6:30 a.m., he will separate webbed fingers and toes on one patient and work with a hair transplant surgeon on a child who lost an eyebrow in a car accident. They

will remove glass from the area and transplant follicles to create a new eyebrow. Panossian has been involved with the organization for eight years since he joined Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, a partner to the nonprofit, in accepting and treating patients flown in from around the world. Mending Kids is known for international efforts—sending children to partner hospitals, surgical teams sent around the world, and bringing children to the U.S. for complex surgeries while they stay with host families. The organization started its Hometown missions three years ago and now they happen every summer “to help local children get the services they need,” says Farrut.

The Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Board of Trustees has announced that Paul S. Viviano, currently CEO for the University of California, San Diego Health System and associate vice chancellor for UC San Diego Health Sciences, will serve as the organization’s new president/chief executive officer beginning Aug. 24. Viviano will serve on the hospital’s board and succeed Richard D. Cordova, FACHE, who announced his retirement last December. Viviano was selected following a comprehensive national search. “It has been an incredible privilege to serve at the helm of the best children’s hospital in the nation, and I wish Paul Viviano well as he continues to build upon CHLA’s history of success as the preeminent pediatric medical facility in the state, says Cordova, who joined the organization in 2005 and assumed his current role in 2006. “Viviano has a well-established reputation for strategic leadership and excellence in delivering on the mission of an academic medical center while aligning institutional models for the future of health care‚” say Arnie Kleiner and Lynda Boone Fetter, board co-chairs. “We have every confidence he will offer the invaluable leadership and vision that will move our 114-year-old institution to the next level of excellence in pediatric care.” Viviano was attracted to CHLA, he says because of its commitment to patient care, education and research, as well as its investment in technology,

service to its community and a longstanding mission to improve the healthcare of children around the nation and the world. “I want to expand on CHLA’s significant contributions in all aspects of pediatric care,” say Viviano. “I look forward to working with the board as well as Paul S. Viviano the faculty and staff to fulfill our mission and achieve our goals.” Viviano has served in numerous executive leadership capacities in healthcare organizations in Southern California. Before his service at UC San Diego, he served as chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Alliance HealthCare Services, the nation’s largest provider of advanced outpatient imaging services. Before that that, he served as president/CEO of USC University Hospital (Keck Medical Center) and USC Norris Cancer Hospital and prior still, held multiple executive posts in the St. Joseph Health System. An L.A. native, Viviano has a master’s degree in public administration with a focus on public health from UCLA and a bachelor’s in political science from UC Santa Barbara.

TOUR BUSES

(Continued from page 1)

provided the fewest challenges. The second selection is in the 200-block of North Beverly Drive at the Montage. The proposed tour bus-loading zone would be placed between Wilshire and the start of the Beverly Canon Garden. That selection offers an attractive drop-off in the heart of town, one block from the Rodeo Drive shopping destination. Four options were offered at 200 N. Beverly Dr. The first option limits operation to the hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and limits use for smaller shuttles and sprinter vehicles only. Two alternatives provide for three meters and two shuttle spaces; a third provides two metered spaces, two shuttle spaces and a coach space; and a fourth option provides for two meters, one shuttle and two coach spaces. The Montage executive management is receptive to testing a tour bus-loading zone adjacent to the hotel. The Montage requests assistance from the City for sidewalk and facility maintenance (restrooms), enforcement staff to manage traffic, and additional signage. General Manager Todd Orlich prefers not to comment on tour buses at the Montage. Another possibility included nine-metered parking spaces in front of the courthouse at 9355 Burton Way. This was prioritized third because of distance from the

triangle and court usage. One reason the ad hoc committee was formed was to address complaints that tour bus activity on Rodeo impeded traffic caused by the coach or double-decker tour bus vehicles that, because of their size, occupy both lanes of traffic. Beverly Drive is 60 feet curb to curb and Rodeo Drive is separated with a median, each side is only 19 feet. The last remaining tour bus stop on Rodeo Drive was removed in January 2015 following the remodel of Louis Vuitton at 9500 Dayton Way amidst concerns that high-volume tour bus activity would affect the store's visibility, affect air quality and raise noise levels. The CVB, Rodeo Drive Committee and merchants in the business triangle have ex-

pressed their desire for the City to accommodate tour buses in the business triangle to bring shoppers into the City. Since the removal of the Dayton Way loading zone, merchants have commented on the financial effects of reduced tourist activity in the business triangle. Bill Wiley, director at Two Rodeo, offered a location adjacent at 9400 Dayton Way, though it was rejected by the commissioners. Staff strongly recommended immediate implementation of a weekends-only use of the four metered parking spaced in the 400-block of North Crescent Drive, immediately adjacent to City Hall, but TPC unanimously rejected it. Other options, including on Camden Drive, at the Wallis

and on Civic Center Drive, were also rejected. The FY 2015/16 Capital Improvement Program includes funding for sidewalk, landscaping and amenities to enhance the Third Street staging area. Resident and business owner Robbie Anderson expressed concerns that currently, the area was in need of trash receptacles, shade and benches. Deputy Director of Transportation Aaron Kunz explained that City Council directed bus loading zones to be settled before the City invested in those capital improvements. In addition, residents on Burton Way and the adjacent neighborhood submitted a petition signed by 48 residents representing 24 dwelling units. The letter cited concerns over routing and traffic circulation,

July 10, 2015 | Page 13 obstructed traffic, vehicle emissions, and vehicle weight and vibrations and noise impact on households. “As a result of the last Tour Bus Ad-Hoc Committee, the Traffic & Parking Commission discussed a range of options for active tour bus loading and unloading zones. Today’s meeting was a study session item to identify locations for further study. Options for various tour bus loading options were presented on the 200 block of North Beverly Drive adjacent to the Montage. We will not proceed with any of the options without fully vetting them with the Montage management. Similarly, for the bus cut-out on Canon, we will not pursue this option without concurrence of the City Council,” said Kunz.

Annenberg Space For Photography Plans Big Summer By Victoria Talbot Exploring regions untouched by staid exhibitors, the Annenberg Space for Photography emerges this summer bursting with connections. Entering a multi-media arc of music and film, the green space between the Photography Space and Skylight Studios will envelope the mediums of music, photography and digital media as a bridge between the worlds, connected by a stream of real-time, authentic social media presence. On the green, in Century Park, the Annenberg Foundation pairs with KCRW for “Sound in Focus,” a free concert series inspired by Emerging. The free concerts, which began on June 25, are an opportunity for light, film, music and the community to explore connection. Beginning in 2012, the series continued last year with “Country in the City.” “Its been said that great music, like the greatest art, gives soul to the universe and flight to the imagination,” said Wallis Annenberg. “That’s what ‘Sound in Focus’ is about.” This year, “Each concert has a different story and musical identity,” said Music Director Jason Bentley. “Yet the series as a whole resonates as a unified and thoughtful program.” Young, vital and forceful, this summer the Space will truly find its métier within the youth culture with Emerging, through Sept. 20. Organized in partnership with Photo District News (PDN), the exhibit introduces 90 emerging photographers from around the world, exploring their worlds with a fresh

perspective. Conflict and civil unrest, family, economic uncertainty, the environment – deeply personal experiences as seen through the eyes of youth culture brings immediacy and emotion to their images. Emerging is comprised of work featured in “PDN’s 30”, Photo District News’ annual selection of 30 top emerging photographers. The exhibit is guest-curated by PDN Editorin-Chief Holly Stuart Hughes and the PDN leadership. The exhibit will include videos; multimedia pieces, self-published books, zines, and a changing slideshow of images posted on social media illustrating the many ways emerging photographers have shown and shared their work. Across Century Park, the green space between the venues, Skylight Studios will continue to host its popular Iris Nights lecture series with presentations by the exhibitors. Beginning July 25 with TV on Radio, Boxed In opens the summer series. Aug. 1 is De La Soul with Quantic; Aug. 8 is Dwight Yoakam with X, and Aug. 15 is the Cold War Kids with Other Lives. Each show will feature a set curated by a local, emerging DJ. There will be a large variety of cafes and food trucks to purchase refreshments. The Annenberg Space for Photography is located at 2000 Ave. of the Stars. Call 213-4033000 or visit www.annenbergspaceforphotography. org. Admission is free and parking is $3.50 with validation Wednesday-Friday, and $1 weekends. (Closed Monday and Tuesday). During concerts, the space will be open until 11 p.m.

ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M E N T Author Nina Ansary To Discuss Growing Women’s Movement In Iran At Event Tonight Author Nina Ansary will join Sussan Deyhim and Cyrus M. Copland for “The Untold Story of Iran,” planned to, among other things, “shatter long-encrusted stereotypes” about the county, at 7 p.m., today at The Last Bookstore, 453 S. Spring St., downtown, L.A. Ansary will discuss her new book, Jewels Of Allah-The Untold Story Of Women In Iran. She has expanded her 2014 Columbia University doctoral thesis as a “narrative to rectify mainstream popular stereotypes about women in postrevolutionary Iran.” Ansary writes that contrary to public perception, “there is a thriving, vibrant feminist movement.” The key to women’s rights in Iran, Ansary says, “is ongoing activism fueled by women from all walks of life, secular and religious, joined together because of a common cause.”

In touch with Iranian women though social media (they’ve found ways around the government’s internet blocks), tiny strides have been made, Ansary says— Nina Ansary women can now serve as investigative judges and attend certain all-male sports. “These activists are fearless,” says Ansary, “fighting a fundamentally extremist ideology continuously trying to redirect them to the private domain.” Tonight’s event will include discussion, a video presentation and musical performance, followed by a Q&A and book signing.

For their first date, Jack took her for dinner and dancing at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. He proposed on the second date and three months later they got married, subsequently moving to California. Jack eventually found work as an accountant for a company that had gone through nine accountants in the past nine months, Jack readily discovered that each of his predecessors had been skimming money off the top. He quickly made the company profitable. Together with their son and daughter, Perl and Jack then

Once their son and daughter were old enough, Perl transitioned from being a homemaker to forging a career in the world of make-up and skincare. Prompted by an advertisement she saw for Vivienne Cosmetics, she went to work for the company, parlaying her theatre major in college into an ability to transform women’s skin. Later, when it became important for people giving facials to be accredited as aestheticians, Vivienne worked with Marinello School of Beauty to arrange for their employees to attend classes for a license. Perl recalled that the criteria in the

For example, to demonstrate one’s ability to make an eyebrow arch, students only needed to pluck one hair to demonstrate the skill. For 35 years, Perl coowned a salon with a hairdresser and a manicurist on Robertson at Charleville called Faces Unlimited building a steady clientele and learning the secret to great skin is found in moisturizer. Of course, she adds, cleanser, toner and moisturizer are all “basic” when it comes to skincare. About 25 years ago, when exfoliants came on the scene, Perl started working exclusively with Murad products. Recently, she was honored by Esthetics Who’s Who for her “outstanding accomplishments and years of service.” And while the majority of her clients are those that she gathered when she had her own Beverly Hills salon, she said she still appreciates her life in Beverly Hills. “I’m a real people person,” she said.

VACCINATION (Continued from page 1)

Earlier this year, the City of Beverly Hills signed a letter supporting the Senate bill’s push to end the exemption from state immunization laws based on personal and religious beliefs; which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law on June 30. California State Sens. Richard Pan and Ben Allen had introduced the legislation in March following last December’s outbreak of measles at Disneyland. “This is kind of like desegregating schools, sex-ed, evolution; there's all this intensity around the issue,” opined Beverly Hills Unified School District Student Services Director Chris Hertz. However, according to Hertz, the revision is nothing new. “California is just kind of going back to the way they were,” he explained. “My guess is that, at the end of the day, everybody will comply.” Under the new law, students who do not qualify for a medical exemption and whose parents have still chosen not to have them vaccinated will have two options: enroll in a homebased private school or enroll in an independent study program that does not include classroom-based instruction. Hertz estimated that the number of BHUSD students who opted out of getting vaccinated is roughly 2-percent. Beverly Hills Health and Safety Commission Chair Myra Lurie

BEVERLY HILLS estimated that the number of kids at private schools who are not being vaccinated was markedly higher. While the perceived threat from last week’s acts of vandalism appears to be minimal Andrino was subsequently released on $80,000 bail - the spray-painted messages underscore that the state’s move to legislatively require public school attendees to get vaccinations is already being met with some extreme resentment, even before it goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2016. Indeed, last week, hundreds of people against SB 277 marched from the Santa Monica Pier to L.A. City Hall to show their frustration. In addition,a potential referendum filed by former Assemblyman Tim Donnelly to repeal SB 277 could make its way to next year’s November ballot if it successfully gathers 365,880 valid signatures in the next 90 days. State law requires kindergartners to be vaccinated against measles, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, chicken pox, diphtheria and tetanus. However, until passage of SB 277, parents could obtain exemptions based on personal beliefs, religion or medical issues. Now it will just be for medical issues. Hertz said that the BHUSD would likely “ease” into the application of the law and that he anticipated a future administrative regulation would help better codify and implement the law’s intent to have children immunized. Modern science has proven that higher percentages of groups of unvaccinated children exacerbate contagion. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asserts that the associative link between vaccination and autism is not conclusive. The California Department of Education and the Department of Public Health are expected to release detailed guidance in the c o m i n g months.

Speakers included Michael Govan and co-chair of LACMA’s board of trustees Andy Brandon-Gordon. Entertainment was provided by Strange Fruit, a Melbourne-based troupe, and culminated in a live performance by Seal, who performed his hits Crazy, Love’s Divine and Kissed By A Rose. Among the “who’s who” on hand were William Ahmanson, Jonathan Sokoloff, Willow Bay, Anjelica Huston, David Bohnett, Dasha Zhukova, Suzanne Deal Booth, Joshua Friedman, Gabriela Garza, Barbra Streisand, Brian Grazer, Brad Grey, Victoria Jackson, Walter L.

Frances Allen Desert Roundup Desert AIDS Project has earned a national reputation as one of the most comprehensive HIV/AIDS services providers in the U.S. It is one of only a handful of agencies operating an onsite medical clinic, a full range of client support services and a comprehensive HIV education and preventions program, including free and confidential HIV testing. It also presents one of the area’s mega-events, the annual black-tie Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, which has grown to such a size and stature that it has to be held in the Palm Springs Convention Center. However, fund-raising activities (which raise $100 for every $15 spent), take place throughout the season, with one of them being the 5th annual Dancing with the Desert Stars on Nov. 13. Just as fiercely competitive as the national TV program upon which is patterned, the 5th annual Dancing with the Desert Stars features eight of the best dancers from the first four years of competition, all of whom are local notables and personalities, in breathtaking performances featuring moves that are anything but amateurish.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NDEx West, L.L.C., as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded on 05/05/2008 as Instrument No. 20080786807 of official records in the office of the County Recorder of LOS ANGELES County, State of CALIFORNIA. EXECUTED BY: PAUL GALUPPO, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK/CASH EQUIVALENT or other form of payment authorized by California Civil Code 2924h(b), (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States). DATE OF SALE: 07/16/2015 TIME OF SALE: 10:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: BEHIND THE FOUNTAIN LOCATED IN CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, 400 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, POMONA CA. STREET ADDRESS and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 165 NORTH SWALL DRIVE #105, BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90211 APN#: 4335-029-108 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $535,189.26. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien,

you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.c om for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20130202200102. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Chairman Emeritus Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs ****** Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons ****** Founding Publisher March Schwartz (Publisher 1965-2004) Clifton S. Smith, Jr. (Publisher 2004-2014)

The Courier is proud to be a

Education Partner

From The Publisher MARCIA WILSON HOBBS We have been asked by both BHUSD Board of Education member Lewis Hall and Beverly Hills High School theatre teacher Annie Terry to run these letters to correct misinformation in an article appearing yesterday in another local newspaper. I’m writing you with concerns about an article published in yesterday’s Beverly Hills Weekly. It concerns the Board of Education’s closure of the high school auditorium and an email discussion I had with Lewis Hall in April about the safety concerns leading to that closure. I recently received a message from a reporter at the Weekly asking me for more information about the April email exchange I had with Lewis Hall which they were already aware of (from an unnamed source). I returned their call and shared with them the questions I addressed to Mr. Hall as well as his reply to me. I specifically asked that my name only be attached to the factual matters at hand, but in reading the final article, it’s clear the paper has tried to falsely use me to further its own agenda. The headline is misleading and seems to insinuate that I claimed the auditorium to actually be safe. I can assure you I never made such a claim. While I have many questions as to why the decision to close the auditorium was made, and would appreciate being shown the problem areas in person and/or any documentation that supports the safety claims, I know I am in no

position to personally make any claims about the structural safety of any school facilities. The Weekly also did not see fit to include anything about Lewis Hall’s reply to me. These are both curious choices that cast him and the rest of the school board in a negative light. I played no part in this. My only goal was to share the facts as I know them regarding the closure of the auditorium. The issue was and is important to me because of how integral this space is to the Performing Arts Department and the school as a whole. I feel that the Weekly has manipulated my questions of concern into falsified claims that I never made. I want to make clear in a public forum that I do not stand by the Weekly’s inflammatory article; and don’t want anyone to misinterpret my involvement in it. Annie Terry BHHS Theatre Teacher ****** I recommend that you forward your email to The Courier and publicly correct what the Weekly has done. This is the best way to correct this injustice, and to garner the respect from the BHUSD and the other Board of Education members. Lewis Hall BHUSD Board of Education

LETTER TO THE EDITOR The City Council recently gutted the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. Under the guise of “balance,” it created a series of standards to be met for cultural landmark designation that are unattainable for virtually any property in the City and turned its back on the wellestablished and widely accepted principle that neighborhoods, not just individual houses, can and should be protected as historic zones. The council arbitrarily declared no area containing a single family residence could be protected as a historic district. Other areas could be so protected but not ones with single family residences– an utterly irrational distinction. Beverly Hills is now at odds with Los Angeles and many other cities in this regard. Los Angeles has protected some 29 neighborhoods including Angelino Heights and Hancock Park. It is a noble and appropriate goal for a city to identify and protect neighborhoods with distinct architectural and cultural resources. Experience has clearly shown property values are enhanced when neighborhoods are protected as historic districts. Owners of properties in such districts can qualify for property tax savings. Development within a historic district may occur consistent with the architectural character of the neighborhood, Why has the council chosen to be at odds with the learning and experience of our neighboring cities? What has possessed it to ignore the great cultural and financial values associated with protecting distinct architectural and cultural assets? The guiding principle behind historic preservation ordinances elsewhere is that a neighborhood is to be viewed as a cohesive, unique and

intact collection of historic resources, not that each home in a district individually needs to qualify under landmark status criteria. There are few neighborhoods in Beverly Hills that have avoided the wrecking ball and probably fewer still that would qualify as historic districts under the preservation laws in other cities. Those few that do exist, however, are precious resources that our City should strive to protect. Sierra Drive, for example, is a fitting candidate for historic district protection as it has the highest concentration of virtually untouched revivalist architecture from the 1930s and 1940s, much of it designed by master architects. Unfortunately, the City Council has chosen to put a metaphorical target on the back of this neighborhood and others like it and to declare open season for well-armed developers. The council must reconsider its ill-advised actions and immediately.... • restore the recently gutted Historic Preservation Ordinance; • permit establishment of historic sones in single family residential neighborhoods; • adopt criteria for the establishment of historic zones based not on that landmark status of any particular home in the neighborhood but on the architectural and cultural element of the neighborhood taken as a whole; • suspend issuance of demolition permits and freeze those that are already issued, especially in neighborhoods that might qualify for historic district designation; • require design review on proposed replacement structural structures before any demolition permit is issued.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 10). An environment that used to feel good to you will grow stagnant before the year is over. You’ll blossom from this. Growing internally will mean shrinking externally in some way— possessions, body mass, emotional baggage, etc. This month brings so many profound happiness. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Large groups move too slowly to accomplish what you think needs to be done in the time you’d like to see it accomplished. The only way to keep it within your timeframe is to work with a handful of purposeful individuals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re not in the mood to stick to the outline, stay with the plan and keep within the budget—and yet your reputation depends on it. Encourage praise and support from your team. It makes compliance easier for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What is your love thinking? If you ask, you’ll blow the illusion that you’re so in tune that you needn’t inquire. Plus, you won’t get a straight answer. Instead of asking, just guess and you’ll probably be right. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re emotionally transparent. How you feel about a person will color every nuance of your interactions. If you are trying to keep it a secret that you love or dislike someone, don’t be around that person today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll navigate through odd characters and circumstances. Keep communication simple. Double-check to be sure you’re making yourself clear. Ask for a response that proves your message has been received. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been teaching through example, perhaps unknowingly. Imitation is flattery. When someone copies you, your eyes will be opened to the very real influence you have. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The goal of business is to make money. It’s something to keep in mind during today’s transactions. Sometimes it’s appropriate to fulfill personal goals over business goals. Just don’t confuse the two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t ask for whom the bell, chirp, ping and alert tolls. It’s coming from your technology and it definitely tolls for you. Of course, you could always turn it off and give your full attention to the one who loves you. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). The right solution for you is an idiosyncratic mix of strategies based on your habits, talents, needs, preferences and unique qualities. Recalibrate your workflow. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Warrior spirit that you are, even when you're not in the battle it’s often raging in your periphery. Though tempted to choose a side, you don’t have to. You have the option of continuing to stay out of it. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Your self-esteem is on the rise and you’ve earned new reasons to be sure of yourself. Enjoy this period of high confidence while it lasts. And when it dips, it only means that you’re ready to learn something new. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The Chinese proverb says: “A man dies and leaves a name; a tiger dies and leaves a skin.” Today you’ll add value to your name, making sure that it’s associated with generosity and integrity.
