the Courier attended, one resident remarked: “Well we know one thing, it’s going to be a disaster.”

Part of that perceived impending “disaster” relates to the closure of portions of Wilshire Boulevard as Metro moves forward in extending the Purple Line subway 2.59 miles through Beverly Hills.

The planned second phase in the nine-mile extension project, which follows the Section 1 extension from Wilshire/Western to Wilshire/La Cienega, extends the subway west under Wilshire Boulevard from Wilshire/La (see ‘METRO’ page 10)

Sarah Kaber Set To Take Over As New Hawthorne Principal

By Laura Coleman Hawthorne is set to field its fifth principal in as many years with the hire of Sarah Kaber to serve as the school’s new leader for the 2018/19 academic year.

A longtime educator who joined the Beverly Hills Unified family in 2002, Kaber previously served as a teacher at Hawthorne, Horace Mann and Beverly Vista, where she taught kindergarten, third grade and fifth grade. For six weeks last year she worked as Hawthorne’s technology coach before being named interim assistant principal when the school’s former principal, Michelle Dar, went out on maternity leave and AP Richard Waters took on the role of interim principal.

In anticipation of classes resuming on Aug. 13, the Courier connected with Kaber, who is not

Loma Linda Holdings Fails To File Opening Brief In Lawsuit Against Basement Ordinance

City Council Tasked To Decide How Long To Close Wilshire Lanes As Subway Rolls Along

By Laura Coleman Something rather atypical happened at the end of Wednesday evening’s L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) community meeting in Beverly Hills: there were no questions.

“They usually have an hour or so of questions,” confirmed Beverly Hills Unified attorney Terry Tao, who said he had attended all of the previous nine such monthly Metro-led community meetings at Beverly Hills City Hall.

By Victoria Talbot With a trial date set for July 19, Loma Linda Holdings, Ltd., Trustee for the Loma Linda Holdings Trust for 1193 and 1184 Loma Linda Dr., has failed to file an opening brief in a lawsuit that challenges the Hillside Ordinance.

The lawsuit, filed in October 2016 following the Aug. 16 adoption of the Hillside Ordinance, sought to block the application of the Urgency Ordinance as it applied to the two proposed developments and challenged the City’s authority to use a Hillside Urgency Ordinance in the interim to enforce the provisions of the Hillside Ordinance until it became law.

At the time, the two proj-

ects had not received permits; thus, they were not yet vested.

In their filing, City Attorney Stephen Lee (Richards, Watson & Gershon) demonstrated that he had reached out on three separate occasions to Loma Linda attorneys Alan Hearty, Lindsay Tabaian and Patrick Perry to stipulate a briefing schedule.

According to the filing, Lee had a phone conversation with Perry on May 22 to discuss a stipulation to dismiss the lawsuit, which, he said, is expected to be followed by “an identical challenge to the Hillside Ordinances.”

The two discussed “issues of dismissal and folding (see ‘LOMA LINDA’ page 13)

Cultural Heritage Nominates Two Homes For Landmark Status, Two For Initiation Proceedings

By Victoria Talbot On Wednesday, the Cultural Heritage Commission initiated two properties for nomination proceedings and two others for inclusion onto the Beverly Hills Register of Historic Properties.

Nominated for landmark status are the Gindi-Birnkrant House at 604 Alpine Dr. and the property located at 626 N. Camden Dr. The nominations will be sent to the Beverly Hills City Council for consideration.

In addition, the commercial property at 9300 Wilshire Blvd. and the residence at 1050 Summit Dr., also referred to as the David O. Selznick residence, have been initiated for nomination.

The Gindi-Birnkrant House was built in 1979 for William

9300 Wilshire Blvd.

604 Alpine Dr.

Birnkrant by Master Architects Conrad Buff III, FAIA and Donald C. Hensman, FAIA. The two owned a noted mid-century modern architectural firm.

The property is an exceptional example of its architectural style that retains its integrity and holds historic value. It is a voluntary designation.

The residence at 626 N. Camden Dr. was built in 1941

by Ray P. Stahmann for owner J. B. Hurd. It is a beautiful example of the French Revival architectural style.

The preliminary evaluation for 9300 Wilshire Blvd. reveals that it is a five-story plus-penthouse commercial building designed by local Master Architect Sidney Eisenshtat and built in 1963 by the Twaits-

Wittenberg Company. It retains the key characteristics of the period of significance and has continued historic value as an intact, prominent example of the work of Eisenshtat.

The David O. Selznick residence is a Georgian Revivalstyle completed in the 1930s that was featured in numerous publications, including Architectural Digest in 1938.

Designed by Roland Coate, Selznick and his wife Irene entertained lavishly in the house, epitomizing the Hollywood lifestyle. Selznick produced Gone With The Wind in 1939 while in residence there. Though the original property was subdivided, the house remains intact.

There are currently 38 historic landmark properties in Beverly Hills.

ALLEN’S ACRES — Undeveloped land in Beverly Hills isn’t easy to find, but Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is putting his 120 acres on the market for a cool $150 million – nearly eight times what he paid for it in the 1990s. The listing is held by Zach Goldsmith, Jeff Hyland, Rick Hilton and Jesse Lally.

Suspect In Santa Monica Attempted Murder Linked To Beverly Hills Crimes

By Matt Lopez The prime suspect in a 2016 attempted murder in Santa Monica is also linked to home-invasion robberies in Beverly Hills, police said Wednesday.

According to the Santa Monica Police Department, 32-year-old Vince Shahen of Las Vegas has been identified as a suspect in a shooting that took place on Aug. 28, 2016, at a home in the 600 block of Adelaide Drive in Santa Monica.

The suspect shot the homeowner in the chest during a botched home-invasion robbery attempt. The homeowner

was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and survived.

During an investigation, Santa Monica police say DNA evidence at the scene linked Shahen to previous homeinvasion robberies in Beverly Hills and Downey.

Shahen is set to be extradited from Philadelphia, where he’s currently being held in federal custody on an unrelated case.

He is expected to face charges in Southern California of attempted murder, robbery and burglary.

Former BHUSD Facilities Chief Karen Christiansen Looks To California Supreme Court

By Laura Coleman In the wake of last month’s denial by the Second Appellate District Court of Appeal on Strategic Concepts LLC’s Petition for Rehearing in its case against Beverly Hills Unified, the company’s founder, Karen Christiansen, is now looking to the California Supreme Court for a ray of light.

It’s a legal battle that Christiansen, the former BHUSD facilities chief, is destined to lose, insisted BHUSD attorney Fred A. Fenster of Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP. On Monday, Fenster filed an Answer to the Petition for Review which attorney Philip Kaufler filed with the California Supreme Court on June 18 on behalf of his client, Strategic Concepts.

“The Petition for Review that was filed with the California Supreme Court is significant in two material respects: it does not challenge the Court of Appeal’s decision reversing the Judgment in favor of Strategic Concepts, LLC nor does it attack the holding that Government Code Section 1090 applies to Karen Christiansen’s company,” stated Fenster. “Instead, the Brief erroneously argues that there is a split of authority as to whether parties to a contract can agree to limit the recoverable damages.”

On June 5, the Second Appellate

District Court of Appeal denied Strategic Concepts Petition for Rehearing in its case against BHUSD following the appellate court’s May 10th ruling reversing the 2016 trial court decision that found BHUSD to be liable for having fired Christiansen after she used her district role to enter into a sole source contract with Strategic Concepts, which she founded.

May’s verdict ostensibly ended BHUSD’s troubled years-long legal battle against Christiansen, who until then was owed in excess of $23 million (including interest) by the school district. The 21-page decision stated: “We reverse. Section 1090 applies to independent contractors. The trial court misinterpreted section 1090 and erred in not instructing on the competitive bidding statutes. The contract also limits the LLC’s damages.”

The reach of Government Code Section 1090 – the very code that a jury used to convict Christiansen of criminal behavior in 2012 whereupon she was sentenced to four years and four months in prison and ordered to pay the district $3.5 million in restitution – was at the heart of overturning the trial court’s 2015 ruling by L.A. Superior Court Judge Stephen Czuleger that opened the gates for that jury to award her tens of millions of dollars. (see ‘KAREN CHRISTIANSEN’ page 10)

Pet Care Foundation Donations Set To Clear Cats From L.A. City Shelters

By Victoria Talbot Last week, the Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation awarded $237,000 to three organizations that spay, neuter, adopt, foster and nurse neonatal kittens in the first-ever such grant funding for rescue organizations, said Bill Crowe, executive director of the Foundation. The funds are expected to save 1,000 kittens that would otherwise perish during “kitten season,” an annual surge in the number of neonatal kittens in the shelter, possibly making Los Angeles a “no-kill” city, said Crowe.

L.A. City Shelters are currently 90percent “no-kill” shelters, meaning that 90 percent of the animals that reach the shelter are adopted or fostered.

Unfortunately, the other 10 percent are largely made up of the neonatal kittens that arrive each spring. These

kittens must be hand fed at regular intervals and require attention to mimic that of the mother. They must be cared for until they are old enough to be adopted or fostered. Most do not make it because the shelters are not staffed to handle this intense labor.

With these grants to the Stray Cat Alliance, Little Angels and SNPLA, it is estimated they will be able to provide nursery care for 1,000 kittens. By helping these organizations to care for the babies, it is hoped that Los Angeles City Shelters will reach the no-kill goal within the next six months.

The Stray Cat Alliance works with volunteers and partners to provide free spay and neuter programs and to foster and adopt cats. The organization received a grant of $100,000. SNP-LA provides low-cost quality health care (see ‘PET CARE FOUNDATION’ page 13)

Beverly Hills Attorney Scott Harris Elected ADL’s Regional Board Chair

By John L. Seitz Beverly Hills Attorney Scott Joseph Harris was elected regional board chair of the Anti-Defamation League’s Pacific Southwest Region.

Besides his private law practice here, focused on defending businesses and professionals throughout California against regulatory agencies, he is also an adjunct professor at Loyola Law School where he received his J.D. after doing his undergraduate studies at Johns Hopkins University.

Harris has been involved with ADL in L.A. since 2009, starting as a participant in the Glass Leadership Institute. He has also been chair of

both the Legal Advisory and Advocacy and Engagement committees; on the host committee of ArtWorks ADL: Justice, Advocacy & Art; and is also an ADL associate national commissioner.

Before entering private practice, he was a deputy attorney general in Sacramento and served a three year term on California’s Osteopathic medical board.

By Laura Coleman For the first time in Beverly Hills High School's history, one of its teams placed in the top three in the country at the national SkillsUSA competition, which took place June 25-29 in Louisville, Kentucky.

The SkillsUSA Championships is the nation’s largest workforce development event for middle-school, high-school and college/postsecondary students enrolled in public career and technical education (CTE) programs.

“I think it’s an amazing opportunity for students to get out of the bubble of Beverly Hills and enjoy a completely foreign atmosphere,” described BHHS teacher Romeo Carey, the longtime media director at the student-run KBEV 6 Media Center.

Together with BHHS CTE Coordinator Cindy Dubin, Carey accompanied eight students to compete

in the national competition in the areas of broadcast, culinary and radio.

The week-long conference included 102 contests designed to show off a wide range of technical, service and health skills like welding, culinary arts, cosmetology and nursing.

For the radio competition, teams had two days to produce a five-minute radio segment on immigration reform, which included two interviews as well as specified commercial spots. It was the third year in a row that Beverly High represented the state in radio production, with last year’s team placing seventh in the nation.

This year’s team of BHHS juniors Ryan Dubin and Tohar Zamir were awarded the bronze medal in Audio Radio Production in front of an audience of over 15,000 attendees in Freedom Hall at the Kentucky Exposition Center. (see ‘SKILLS USA’ page 10)

Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Promotes Environmental Sustainability At LACMA

By Laura Coleman Through Sept. 3, visitors to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) have the opportunity to view artist John Gerrard’s “Solar Reserve,” a temporary large-scale installation, which was unveiled Wednesday evening.

Gerrard’s computer simulation of a solar thermal power plant located in Tonopah, Nevada, (also named SolarReserve) is a powerful digitalbased work that speaks directly to the current environment. Wednesday’s unveiling also served as a kick-off for a unique public art collaboration between the environmentally conscious Jackson Family Wines and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF), which originally acquired the work and donated it to LACMA. The dynamic artwork, which is best viewed at dusk, depicts the Nevada

plant surrounded by 10,000 mirrors that reflect sunlight upon it to heat molten salts, forming a thermal battery which is used to generate electricity. According to Terry Tamminen, CEO of LDF, the work effectively shows that renewable energy on a large scale is practical.

“Art has the ability to be a catalyst for cosmic change,” added Julia Jackson, proprietor and family ambassador for Jackson Family Wines.

Gerrard said he created the work in response to climate change.

“The piece is a hopeful symbol of sustainable energy,” he said. But, he added, it also asks the question: “To what degree will the energy crisis be addressed by solar facilities, and to what degree is the optimism of renewable energy itself an apparition if we do not reduce global energy consumption?”

The Regenerative Medicine Institute aims to transform the treatment of some of the most serious diseases such as ALS, diabetes, Crohn’s and cancer by using a person’s own stem cells to replace their damaged tissue.

The Board of Governors is currently in the midst of a campaign to raise $30 million in additional support. Funds raised at this event and other board activities are used to directly support these innovative cell-based treatments that could lead to new treatments.

Performers at Rock for Research included Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the well-known swing revival band from Southern California, and R&B artist Sheléa Frazier.

Restaurants taking part included The Grill on the Alley, Craig’s Border Grill, Wally’s Beverly Hills, Il Pastaio, Shake Shack and Pink’s Hot Dogs

Beverly Hills Surgeon Dr. Todd H. Lanman Named ‘Leader in Health Care’ By L.A. Business Journal Spinal neurosurgeon Dr. Todd H. Lanman was honored by the Los Angeles Business Journal as one of its 2018 “Leaders in Health Care,” taking home the award at the 2018 Health Care Leadership Forum & Awards.

Lanman and his practice earned the title in the category of “Medical Group CEO.” Dr. Lanman was recognized for his work in the community over the last 25 years, as well as his medical advancements in the spine world. Dr. Lanman operates Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery (450 N. Roxbury), and is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s Institute for Spinal Disorders and UCLA Medical Center.

His clients include many top celebrities, especially action hero stars.

He is also an innovator in Artificial Disc Replacement in the neck and back, and most recently led the seven-year clinical trial of the two-level artificial disc replacement in the neck, leading to its FDA approval. He appeared on CBS’ The Doctors last year showing the surgery and the device for the first time nationally.

He is also a leader in revision surger-

ies, meaning that those who have previously been fused in the cervical (neck) spine, who have restricted motion, now have the option of having their motion restored, almost overnight, through a minimally invasive surDr. Todd H.

One Of The Largest Gifts In The Hospital’s History

CHLA Receives Anonymous $20 Million Gift To Support Emergency Department Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has announced that an anonymous donor has dedicated $20 million to expand the care provided for children in the Maurice Marciano Family Foundation Emergency Department and Trauma Center (ED).

The transformative gift will expand the critical and life-saving care provided in CHLA’s ED. Opened in 2011 as part of the Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion, the ED was originally designed to handle 65,000 patient visits annually; today, it supports nearly 90,000 patient visits each year. With 44 percent of CHLA’s inpatients admitted through the ED, the enhancements that the donation will permit are critical for the wellbeing of patients and saving lives of children suffering from serious illnesses and injuries.

Phased construction is expected to begin later this year. Normal ED operations are expected to continue throughout the course of the project which will include: •Expansion of the waiting room •High-tech cardiopulmonary monitors •Eleven new emergency patient

bays (an increase of 30 percent) •Electronic medical record monitors in each bay •Nursing station enhancements to support a team-based care model.

Additionally, portions of the gift will support a dedicated Child Life team to work with patients, families and clinicians and purchase a new MRI machine that will facilitate care for children house-wide.

“Philanthropy is an important part of CHLA’s culture and history,” said Paul S. Viviano, CHLA president/CEO. “With demand for emergency medical services from patients and families skyrocketing, I am incredibly proud that generous individuals have agreed to expand our ability to care for one of the largest and most diverse pediatric populations in the nation.”

BHUSD subsequently appealed that ruling.

Czuleger had ruled that the school district had breached its contract with Christiansen when she was fired as BHUSD’s facilities chief after her company, Strategic Concepts, entered into a $16 million contract with the school district to help build and repair Beverly Hills schools as part of the $334 million Measure E bond voters passed in 2008.

Prior to that, Christiansen’s 2012 convic-

up very young to think about college as though it was an expected piece. I think I made the very clear decision to pursue education in college; I started as undecided and by the end of my freshman year I knew. And I went to USC, where they have a full school of education (USC Rossier School of Education) and an undergraduate degree with student teaching, so it seemed like the right path.

BHC: How would you describe the environment at Hawthorne?

Kaber: I love it here. I feel like they are almost a hidden gem in Beverly Hills. Coming from Horace Mann (the school where she taught primarily until she left the district for two years in 2012 to live in Israel with her husband and three children), we didn’t know so much about Hawthorne. It was sort of like, they do their own thing, very quiet. In my perspective as a teacher, it was like this perspective of, ‘We’re elite and great at what we’re doing and so we just do what we do well and continue to do it.’ And when I joined the staff, I was sort of nervous, like, Am I good enough to be a Hawthorne teacher?

When I came to Hawthorne (in 2014), I thought, ‘Wow I’m walking

tion had subsequently been overturned on appeal with the court ruling that Christiansen was not subject to Gov. Code Section 1090 because she was an independent contractor.

Fenster has steadfastly held that Christiansen’s actions violated the purpose of Gov. Code Section 1090 because independent contractors, such as Christiansen, who are in a position to influence public contracting decisions are prohibited by Section 1090 from having a financial interest in the contracts they play a role in making.

“Under the circum-

stances, it is highly unlikely the Supreme Court will grant the Petition since Strategic Concepts, LLC is seeking an advisory opinion as to the status of the law,” Fenster said.

“Once the case is ultimately sent back for retrial, the District intends to file a Motion for Summary Judgment on two grounds: Strategic Concepts, LLC. violated Government Code Section 1090 as a matter of law, and the award of the contract to Karen Christiansen and Strategic Concepts, LLC. was void due to the failure to submit it to competitive bidding.”

SKILLS USA Both Carey and Dubin emphasized the importance of the competition in the lives of the students who participate.

“More importantly,” Carey added, “The competition allows students to learn the truth about human nature and that all you can do is the best you can do.”

For recent BHHS graduate Noah Danesh, who said he will likely matriculate at UC Santa Barbara in the fall, the experience of competing in the national Broadcast News competition was incredible.

“We got first place in California, so we got to beat out all the other regions to go to

nationals to compete against all other 49 states and then to be with a great team, it was fantastic,” said Danesh, who coanchored a three-minute broadcast together with his sister Eva Danesh, a BHHS junior.

“For me the experience was really cool, just traveling and going somewhere else and meeting all those other people was really fun,” added BHHS senior Arian Tabibian, the KBEV director who helped take the four-member team to nationals.

“The competition itself was really cool because we got to see other students who are participating and their field of interest is the same of us, and it was really cool to talk to them and see how they do their shows.”

ing, which includes an item to move forward with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between Metro and the City, Mayor Julian Gold told the Courier that the council would act in accordance with the desires of the community’s stakeholders.

“The City Council is going to do what the major stakeholders there want us to do,” he said. “We’re going to do everything we can do to protect [our residents and businesses.]”

While Tuesday’s meeting calls for a first reading of the MOA, the council can still vote to finalize it immediately.

Once that agreement is

finalized, a Metro representative said that as early as next month, portions of Wilshire Boulevard could be reduced to two lanes in each direction for a protracted period of time, eventually closing fully at times between Canon and Beverly as Metro begins to excavate down to create the Wilshire/Rodeo station, which is actually on the corner of Wilshire and Reeves.

Attendees at Wednesday’s meeting learned from Metro representatives that it is expected to take 13 weekends in order to drill two 110-foot holes, insert two 110-foot steel beams and then backfill the holes with concrete in order to proceed with construction on

the Wilshire/Rodeo station.

During that time, Wilshire Boulevard would be entirely closed over the course of 13 weekends, from 8 p.m. Fridays until 6 a.m. Mondays.

After that process, cars will travel atop temporary decks while eight-feet below on a temporary work zone, Metro would slowly excavate 100 feet down to the station level. As part of that work, the contractor will need to excavate and haul out a significant amount of dirt–a process that which Metro estimated would take nine months if done at night from 9 pm. to 7 a.m.

However, if the contractor is unable to sufficiently demon-

strate to City Council that the work will be able to be done within the acceptable noise limits, the work would need to take place during the daytime, which would double the time it takes to haul out all the dirt from the City to 18 months.

Either way, for a notable amount of time, cars traveling along Wilshire will be confined to two lines in either direction between Canon and Beverly.

“I think we recognize that the construction of the subway is going to create inconvenience for residents, businesses and visitors and we will do everything we possibly can to minimize those inconveniences,” Gold said.

into such a great staff.’ But everyone was so welcoming and so, part of it, like; ‘You’re part of Hawthorne? Then we’re going to make you excellent.

And if you’re not, we’re going to help you.’ And I’ve found that has stayed...and even though I’ll be the fifth principal in five years, I still feel that the teachers have maintained a level of excellency in their classrooms and their commitments to kids. And the teachers themselves know that their goal is to focus on making kids incredible. And so that sort of baseline flows through what we do and what they do.

Despite all of the leadership that’s changed, they still have the common vision and the common goal.

BHC: What are the keys to effective teaching?

Kaber: Knowing that each learner is different, and knowing that you have to adapt to the way that each student needs to learn. I think it’s critical for our kids to be creative and creators instead of just consumers of information so that they’re producing the knowledge and creating the ideas. I think that it’s OK to fail and try something; it’s like, it’s OK to make mistakes and then move on. It’s that risk-taking, and making mistakes, and building upon, and learning and working together that’s really what I want to see in classrooms and with kids.

BHC: You have held a multitude of positions throughout the district, how did you build upon those experiences to implement change this past year or build on strengths as interim AP? Kaber: I loved working with Rich Waters (former interim principal and current AP).

He’s amazing with kids. And he has a sense about people.

Sometimes I watch him in meetings and think, ‘OK, I need to learn how to do that thing.’ The way that he reads people and the way that he knows how a conversation is going to go, or get a kid to tell the truth or get a parent to leave happier than when they came in. And he was so amazing to work with last year and to work for.

I wouldn’t say that as interim principal and interim assistant principal we were looking to make changes last year. I think that we were hoping to guide the ship in the way that Michelle Dar wanted it to be done. We let things happen in sort of a grass roots way. For example, there was one teacher who wanted to address bullying and how we talk about bullying and how we talk about kid interactions and what do we do about being an upstander and how do we tell when someone bullies....And she led a book club with our staff...about changing the way we talk to each other and inter-

act with friends. And they want to make more progress as we go into next year. And then another example is that we needed to be consistent about policies in middle school, so the middle school asked to meet and we gave them permission to go forward with policies that they were excited about. And we said, ‘We will help you enforce those standards that you want.’

BHC: PTA support is obviously critical, is there a plan in place to foster positive parent partnerships?

Kaber: Our PTA is amazing. They’re so rooting for us. It feels like a cheerleading squad.

If we have an idea - and I mean the larger we (any teacher or parent), they are so excited to make it happen. What I learned in this job is a phone call goes so far…just having a real conversation with parents…being available. There’s a few welcome nights and socials at the beginning of the year to just allow for some adult interactions.

BHC: Hawthorne was the first K-8 in the district to roll out 1:1 iPads, what other technological marvels can students look forward to this coming year?

Kaber: I’m excited to say [the district is] in the process of hiring Technology TOSAs (Teacher on Special Assignment), one at each of the K-8s.

(Following former

Principal Dar going on maternity leave and Kaber leaving the Technology TOSA position, which she held for six weeks, Hawthorne has lacked a full time TOSA this past year.) I think we’re going to see an amazing difference (by having a dedicated TOSA). The other piece we’re working on is we’ve dissembled our PC Lab for next year and we’re moving toward making a maker space.

A maker space is a space where kids can be creative and make something to solve a problem, or answer a question, or be creative in a way. In addition, we’re hoping to offer a middle school elective in coding. And that’s all on top of STEM and PLTW that we’ve been doing.

BHC: Any final thoughts?

Kaber: What’s incredible is that (all the principals are) working together. We’re sharing ideas. We want to share our ideas. We encourage teachers to work in teams. We encourage kids to work in teams and then, we need some times as principals and assistant principals to be able to come together and say, ‘What’s happening at your school?’ or ‘How did you choose to use this money?’ or ‘What’s the best plan for this?’ And it actually becomes a professional learning community for us.

ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M E N T In New Play, Barra Grant Recounts Growing Up As Miss America’s Ugly Daughter Mother-daughter relationships can be complicated — especially when your mother is Miss America.

Barra Grant, local actress and daughter of the first and still only Jewish Miss America, Bess Myerson, explores the minefield of that relationship in her new “two-person” play Miss America’s Ugly Daughter, opening Saturday, July 14 and playing through Aug. 12 at The Broad Stage’s Edye Second Space Theater, 1310 11th St., Santa Monica.

Grant felt she had to write about her beautiful mother, famous her whole life, “who had a tragic fall. She was almost a mythic figure that I need to talk about,” Grant says.

In Grant’s conceit, Myerson, now in her 70s, can’t sleep, and reaches out to her daughter as a sounding board as she tries to make sense of her relationships, her celebrity and her loneliness. As he listens to her mother’s rambling on the phone, Grant relates her journey, “that like many others took me from never fitting in during an awkward childhood as a chubby kid with frizzy hair, buck teeth and no obvious talent to becoming my own person and finally turning into a mother myself.”

Grant began as a TV actress and went on to write and direct a number of successful TV and film projects.

Myerson’s story gives Grant lots of material to work with. She arrived in Atlantic City for the pageant from an only-speaking-Yiddish family living in the Shalom Aleichem apartment complex.

“She played the piano (Greig and Gershwin) and the flute while the other contestants twirled batons and yodeled,” says Grant.

Pageant organizers urged Myerson to change her name to a “less Jewish sounding” Beth Merrick, which she refused; and after she won, three sponsors withdrew from having her represent their companies as Miss America.

“She was embarrassed,” says Grant.

After encountering “No Jews” signs on her year-long tour of America, Myerson

contacted the Anti-Defamation League.

They said, “you have half a year left,” reports Barra. Myerson countered by presenting her “You Can’t Be Beautiful and Hate” lecture to high-school students across the country.

Bess Myerson, Miss The daughAmerica 1945 ter of Russian immigrants, Myerson was active in Zionist causes all her life, raising money for Israel Bonds and befriending Golda Meir and David Ben Gurion.

“After Barra performed at a spoken word Barra Grant show I produced, Poetry in Motion,” said director Eve Brandstein, a longtime Beverly Hills resident, ”We agreed to flesh out her stories into a full length play.”

Thus began a yearlong development of the unique “two-character, one-person show.”

The staging allows viewers to eavesdrop on 2 a.m. conversation between Barra and Bess, voiced by Monica Piper, who just completed 200 performances of her Off-Broadway hit Not That Jewish.

“When I read Barra’s script, I immediately knew I wanted to be involved in getting her story on stage,” said Producer Suzi Dietz, former resident and former executive of the city’s Canon Theatre, (see ‘MISS AMERICA’ page 12)

New U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Exhibition Explores Americans’ Response To Nazism Marking its 25th anniversary year, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum this week opened a new special exhibition, “Americans and the Holocaust,” which examines the motives, pressures, and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism, war, and the persecution and murder of Jews in Europe during the 1930s and ‘40s.

Visitors don’t have to travel to the museum’s Washington, D.C. site to experience the exhibit. It’s available online at https://exhibitions.ushmm.org/americans-and-the-holocaust/main.

Based on extensive new research, this is the most comprehensive exhibition exploring the many factors—including the Great Depression, isolationism, xenophobia, racism, and antiSemitism—that influenced decisions made by the U.S. government, the news media, Hollywood, organizations, and individuals as they responded to Nazism.

“Americans and the Holocaust” dispels myths about this history, such as the misperception that Americans lacked access to information about the persecution of Jews as it was happening. It exam-

ines why their rescue never became a priority for the U.S. government even as the country made great sacrifices to defeat Nazism.

“Visitors will be surprised at how much Americans knew about Nazism and the Holocaust and how early they knew it,” says exhibition curator Daniel Greene. “The exhibition also shows what else was on Americans’ minds as they learned about these threats, from great economic insecurity to the isolationist sentiment in the wake of World War I and national security fears during World War II. We transport visitors back into that tumultuous era so that they might consider these events without the benefit of hindsight.”

The exhibition shows that much of Hollywood tended to portray Nazism as a threat to democracy without mentioning the plight of Europe’s Jews.

Another part of the presentation is stories of individual Americans, many of whom took actions that went against the grain at the time. This includes stories of Americans who dared to rescue Jews from Europe.

closed in 2006. “We get more than a peek at the life of one of America’s most heroic, yet tragic heroines. And we see her through the eyes of a child, an adolescent, and an adult. It’s most unusual and most powerful.”

“Though most of us were not raised by beauty queens,“ says Grant, “This play is a universal story.” While she insists the play is a comedy, she focuses on the tensions between mother and daughter. Bess is ever present in the story, fixated on “improving Barra by molding her into a version of herself.”

Her advice is not helpful and Barra struggles to fit in at school, meet the right man, find a career and resolution with her mother.

“I never lost the feeling of living in her shadow, looking for approval,” says Grant.

to ensure that pets are not abandoned because of health issues, and spay and neutering services to reduce the population of homeless pets. The organization received $70,000. Little Angels Project provides medical care to all animals, exotic and domestic, and partners with other organizations to ensure the health and welfare of the animals. Their organization received a $66,000 grant.

Working together, these organizations can save the lives of 3,000 baby kittens by caring for them until they are old enough to be adopted.

The late philanthropist Paula Kent Meehan loved animals and created the Pet Care Foundation to promote the welfare of homeless animals in shelters and to support spay and neuter efforts that help to reduce the population of strays.

BOLD

(Continued from page 1)

BOLD was the creation of Beverly Hills City Councilmember Lili Bosse last year during her second term as mayor. Bosse spearheaded the cooperative efforts of the three organizations, persuading businesses to stay open later at least a few days for a limited period of time during the height of the tourist season.

Bosse was responding to the perceived increased competition for retail shoppers at the newly remodeled Westfield Century City Mall, Beverly Center and the Grove, as well as reports from the hotels that they were sending their international guests to those locations to shop after the stores closed at 6 in Beverly Hills.

Bosse, who is famous for her Monday morning Walk with the Mayor initiative that created a community around her during her two terms as mayor, was able to translate that popularity and bring members of her walking community on board for BOLD events.

Bosse worked hard, starting with a kick-off art installation in the Lily Pond at Beverly Gardens Park, where residents painted precut floral designs that were part of the installation. There was Bike with the Mayor, Art Walk with the Mayor and Yoga with the Mayor. Some of the Monday walks were in the evenings to

matters into a new lawsuit,” pending the approval of the City Council.

Lee informed Perry “that the City’s Litigation Committee had put the matter before the City Council for consideration” at the June 5 closed session, which was continued to their June 19 meeting.

At that meeting, “the City Council decided that it would not approve a stipulation to dismiss the case,” which Lee conveyed to Perry that evening.

Nevertheless, no Opening Brief was filed.

On July 6, Lee filed an Opposition Brief. He argues that the failure to file an Opening Brief “is fatal” to the lawsuit because the petitioner “cannot meet its burden of proof,” calling the failure, “inexcusable.”

He argues that the challenge to the Interim Hillside Ordinance is moot because the Ordinance is no longer in force, and “the City validly adopted the Regular Hillside Ordinance.”

In addition, they cannot meet the Burden of Proof because the “Petitioner was not entitled to a Building Permit prior to the adoption of the Hillside Ordinance.”

The Courier reached out to Tabaian, Perry and Hearty for a comment, but they did not respond.

Loma Linda Holdings, Ltd. Is controlled by Canadian billionaire Francesco Aquilini. Initially pro-

celebrate BOLD. BOLD Summer 2017 seemed to draw visitors and it is unclear if that was the success factor. One store reported half-million-dollar sales just before the store closed at 8 p.m. though the full financial impacts are not verified.

In fact, it is unclear how the City, more specifically the City Council, defines “success” as it relates to the dollars spent.

Some criteria presented to City Council by the CVB included 30 “organic” stories worldwide, 333,000 CVB social media impressions and 23 million hashtag impressions and 224 PR feeder-stories. The RDC reported 59 million social media impressions, including millennials who follow on Instagram.

Last year’s results were not qualified as to individual impressions or posts on Instagram, or whether there was an increase in bounceback use.

In May, the City Council, led by Mayor Julian Gold, voted unanimously to support BOLD again this year. Together, the CVB, Chamber and RDC, plus the Next Gen Committee for the finale Next Night Block Party, requested $899,007 for the total costs for a month of events, which they were going to limit to Friday and Saturday evenings in August.

The City Council nearly doubled the expenditure,

posed in 2014 as a single 27,000 square foot residence with 3,000 cubic yards of export on the narrow and winding street.

The proposal was withdrawn after neighbors united in opposition to the project.

In response to oversized development, the Hillside Ordinance was passed, limiting excavation on streets 24-feet wide or less, such as Loma Linda Drive, to 1,500 cubic yards of export.

Aquilini returned nearly a year later with a proposal for two singlefamily homes, splitting the lot and the export into 1,500 cubic yards per project as by-right projects with five Allen Matkins attorneys ready to sue the City.

With the original trial date set for March 2017, Aquilini’s lawyers delayed while the two projects were issued more than a score of correction letters each. Residents, led by neighbor Debbie Weiss, examined every nuance of each plan submission and armed themselves in their bid for a more reasonable project having meticulously educated themselves.

They joined forces with attorney Ronald Richards, now president of the newly-formed Beverly Hills Hillside Protection Association (BHHPA), who had become a leader in opposing a proposed project on Lago Vista.

During the ensuing months, Weiss found so many irregularities that the City Council contracted with an outside engineering firm to examine excavation hauls to ensure

adding an additional $702,056 to the budget for the addition of Thursday evening events.

In their proposals, the CVB requested $188,002; they were given $295,002. The RDC requested $499,546 and received $750,691. Next Night budgeted for $88,864 and received $99,775. An additional $269,600 was allocated to the CVB for Photo-Op Floral Boxes at the June 19 study session.

Reports from key business individuals who wish to remain anonymous show that retailers are lukewarm about the additional day and expenditure.

Without a metric for measuring success, and only unsubstantiated anecdotal reports of sales, the City Council spending policy could be deemed as frivolous or irresponsible.

(Publisher’s note: The Courier is awaiting specific financial numbers and results and will be evaluating the use of taxpayer funds for these events. The Courier made this request last August and the City Staff and was told that the information is not attainable. It is the responsibility of the City Council to hold their staff to be responsible for financial details and full accounting in all matters, including BOLD.) But the City Council is acting on a formula based on a calculation of two percent of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). That money is budgeted for the Tourism and Marketing

they were accurate, discovering a 33 percent differential. One was one-third overstated, the other onethird percent understated, but both had been represented as just under the 1,500 cubic yard threshold.

Ultimately, following 10 correction letters, a building permit was issued in April for 1184 Loma Linda Drive, grandfathered in without applying the City’s Basement Ordinance, which was adopted in December 2017. The proposed project for 1193, however, was not approved because it continued to exceed the 1,500 cubic yard export threshold that would trigger an R-1 permit under the Hillside Ordinance. It is now subject to the Basement Ordinance as well.

City Attorney Larry Wiener stated “The failure to file an opening brief is incurable. The developer’s second lawsuit regarding 1184 Loma Linda is moot as the City Council approved that development. It remains to be seen whether the developer will file a third lawsuit regarding the two proposed homes.”

“Aquilini is now in a huge legal pickle and the odds of him losing this lawsuit on July 19, 2018 are extremely high,” said Richards. “The BHHPA will continue to monitor the legal proceedings for the residents and prospectively, will be actively engaged working to protect the residents from the continued assault… on our local laws and quality of life… The best news of these filings is that it shows the 1193 project can’t be built under existing law.”

Budget. Based on the estimated TOT for fiscal year 2018-2019, which is $49.098 million, that 2 percent totals $7.014 million; revenues exceeded the 201617 budget to add an additional $628,338.

But where does that 2 percent come from? It is not in the Municipal Code. It is not in a formal agreement establishing the three agencies, CVB, Chamber and Rodeo Drive Committee. The City allows 29 hotels to exist within the City, paying 14 percent in TOT. In 1988 the TOT was increased from seven percent to 11 percent by ballot measure; in 1991 it became 12 percent.

In 1994, the amount increased to 14 percent, with the stated purpose to provide additional funding for advertising to promote Beverly Hills and its hotels as a travel destination. But the additional tax was approved as a ballot measure for the General Tax - not a Special Tax, which would have required a 4/5 majority of voter approval.

During years of critical shortfalls in the budget, the City Council has allocated some of the TOT funding to cover other shortfalls; in 201113 a small portion was allocated to Community Assistance Grant Funded programs in the City Library.

The TOT revenues have steadily increased; in 2014-15 the TOT was estimated to be

$35.5 million compared to nearly $50 million today.

A separate budget has been allocated to the Holiday BOLD program, estimated by the RDC alone in their budget proposed at the Jun. 19 City Council study session - to be $1.12 million for just the Holiday Lighting Ceremony.

The total budget for the winter BOLD program is difficult to assess because it has tentacles in enhanced holiday décor and seasonal events and in one-time costs that can soar, such as decorations and lighting.

Either way, the true cost of these events is not communicated as a single budget item to the City Council, which would show the City’s spending with one, neat total. It is presented in incremental pieces because it is not just one chunk of money.

Some of it is budgeted to City expenses, some goes to the Rodeo Drive Committee; some goes to the Conference and Visitors Bureau; some is going to the Next Gen Committee - a group of volunteers who have been handed nearly $100,000 to throw a block party - and a small chunk goes to the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce to support marketing efforts. Other costs include, for example, seating on Rodeo Drive, an innovation by then-Mayor Bosse that is slated to become permanent.

MAISON ST-GERMAIN–Noted stylist Kate Young (left), joined by actresses Dakota Johnson and January Jones (right), hosted the Parisian-themed “Maison St-Germain” on the lush grounds of Malibu’s Little Beach House. Photos by Sansho Scott for BFA

Tomorow’s Bastille Day celebration got off to an early start on Tuesday but instead of it being in far-away Paris, it was held much closer to home at Malibu’s Little Beach House, which was transformed into a whimsical, Parisian oasis. That was the setting for Hollywood’s reigning mega-stylist Kate Young, joined by Nina Dobrev, Dakota Johnson, January Jones and Ashley Madekwe, to stage the annual “Maison St-Germain.”

The stylish crowd was invited to enjoy a rare, fleeting moment of exuberance in celebration of the thousands of elderflowers harvested once a year to create the St-Germain liqueur. Each space of the 10,000 square foot property served as the setting for guests to explore the vast botanical arrangements while enjoying a musical performance by Jess Williamson or sipping specialty cocktails prepared by Camille Ralph Vidal, St-Germain’s global ambassador.

There was also dancing to the music of Noah Passovoy and even a secluded section for crystal readings from stylist-turned-shaman Colleen McCann. ****** The acclaimed fashion design duo of Brian Wolk and Claude Morais launched their Wolk Morais “Collection 7” with a fashion show in West Hollywood’s Jeremy Hotel. Inspired by the “California Cool” movement, “Collection 7” delves into the modern, geometric, color-focused art of historical Los Angeles painters from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. It is said this group's playful indifference to the east coast art world inspired the collection's relaxed, yet measured approach to form, color, and graphic tailoring.

Among the guests on hand for the debut were Melissa Barrera, Jayson Blair, Katie Bofshever, Erica

Meanwhile, coming up Sunday at Sony Studios in Culver City, the American Cancer Society will honor celebrity Chef Ming Tsai at its “California Spirit 33” gourmet garden party from 4 p.m.

Despite record-breaking heat baking the Coachella Valley, from Palm Springs to Thermal last week, local residents and visitors, alike, know the bargain hunters’ creed: “sale prices go down in direct relationship to rises in temperature.”

Just ask any mad-dog or Englishman you see strolling down Palm Canyon Drive in the mid-day sun. The knowledgeable people at Palm Desert’s Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, 47900 Portola Ave, know this mantra very well and have created several “experience packages” which permit a behind-the-scenes look at The Living Desert.

The Summer Chill Tour Package allows guests the opportunity to book a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the jaguar, cheetah, giraffe or Grevy’s zebra habitat as well as a special behind-the-private-tour of the zoo’s warthogs, badgers or camels.

A three-hour guided shuttle tour of The Living Desert is also included with this package, available now through Sept. 30.

Those Living Desert members wanting a more personal view of a living desert, are now being offered an unforgettable guided African safari to Botswana, where the livelihood of the small human stage population is closely interwoven with its diverse, unspoiled natural resources.

Closer to home, members of The Living Desert can connect with nature and treat themselves to a unique and relaxing massage in one of the more exclusive spaces in the zoo: the district commissioner’s house overlooking the leopard habitat. A 45-minute private champagne brunch is available after the massage.

Of course, what would a zoo be without children? At The Living Desert, children ages four through 12 can explore natural habitats, encounter exotic animals, discover scientific concepts and have fun under the sun at Summer ZooCamp consisting of weekly sessions during the month of July.

Summer memberships are good now through Sept. 30, and permit exclusive discounts on food, merchandise and giraffe feeding.

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum due under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment, with interest thereon, as provided in said notice, advances, if any, estimated fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee, to wit: $42,878.96 accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale.

The claimant: Beverly Regent Owners Association under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment 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 and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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 FOR SALE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)986-9342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2016-1116 . 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.

THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD SUBJECT TO THE NINETY DAY RIGHT OF REDEMPTION CONTAINED IN CIVIL CODE SECTION 5715(b). PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. Date: 6/27/2018. S.B.S LIEN SERVICES, 31194 La Baya Drive, Suite 106, Westlake Village, California, 91362. By: Annissa Young, Trustee Sale Officer (07/13/18, 07/20/18, 07/27/18 | TS#2016-1116 SDI-11176)

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HR & A Consulting, hired by the City Council in November of last year to advise on rent control, will report back on Aug. 7.

That’s nice and I hope they’ve done their homework. That should include researching the income of Beverly Hills tenants. It is available from the US Census Bureau on www.census.gov. Here are some interesting facts from 2016, the most recent year that data is available: •26 tenant households had an income over $500,000; •69 tenant households had an income over $250,000; •nearly one-fifth (19.6 percent) of tenant households had an income over $150,000; •more than a third (37.2 percent) of tenant households had an income in 6 digits (over $100,000); •nearly two-thirds (64.7 percent) of tenant households had an income over $50,000; •12 percent of tenants had moved in within the last 12 months; •20 percent of tenants had moved in within the last 24 months.

•7 percent were vacant, indicating that those tenants had moved out recently Will someone please explain to me why the above described tenant population needs to be “protected” by rent control? Ah, but the argument goes, what about our elderly, long-term tenants–some on fixed incomes which can’t keep up with market rents.

Alright, if the citizens of Beverly Hills – which the City Council represents – want to subsidize that relatively small minority of the tenant population, then let’s focus on them. Do it surgically. Find out how many of the 8,505 apartments in our City (according to Los Angeles County records) are occupied by such tenants, identify those who need assistance and provide it to them. But since it is the citizenry at large which want to provide the assistance (or so the City Council presumes), then let the citizenry all share in underwriting it out of the general tax fund.

It is unfair to put all of the burden for those particular tenants on the individual landlords who rent to them. And it is worse to slash with a broadsword by passing a law that massacres the rental market on all occupied apartment rents, no matter how wealthy the tenant, thereby damaging the value of approximately $3.5-billion-worth of Beverly Hills apartments, arguably by hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Courier seems to also have a soft spot for tenants with children but I don’t get that one. The Los Angeles Unified School District has more than 650,000 students, virtually all of whom would undoubtedly love to be in Beverly Hills schools, since ours rank among the best in the nation. That’s why nonresident parents sometimes sneak their children into our system and school security is never idle in investigating fraudulent enrollments.

When a couple with kids first rent in Beverly Hills, they knowingly and willingly pay 15 percent more for their apartment than an equivalent one they could get a mile away in Los Angeles because they want, among other things, the better school system.

For what reason are they then entitled to curtailment of their rent for the next 12 years while their kindergartener goes through elementary and high school?

If dad’s business takes a downturn and they can no longer afford the rent, then they may have to move to a more modest community. People do it all the time, here and everywhere in the country – life has its ups and downs. And the new community will have a school, too, with electric lights and textbooks and teach reading, writing and arithmetic. They are not exactly condemned to the “black hole of Calcutta.”

Does HR & A Consulting have economists on its staff? Studies show that 75 to 93 percent of economists – depending upon which one you believe – hold that price controls in general are a bad idea and rent control is particularly unwise. If HR & A were conscientious, it would confront our City Council with its best advice: namely–get rid of rent control altogether.

But I fear that, instead, they’ve gleaned from councilmembers a preordained conclusion and will feed back to the Beverly Hills City Council the “advice” it wants to hear, collect its fee, and get a good reference for the next city council that wants to buy validation from an “impartial” third party.

Kevin R. Davis

****** I had thought that the nonsense regarding how long there would be police presence at the schools had been modified to ensure safety for the entire year for our children. I was wrong. Apparently, the police are no longer there nor is the concern since school closed (approximately June 1) under the auspices of our venerable City Council members.

When I picked up my grandson from the camp at B.H.H.S. last week, there were hundreds of children in the patio unprotected. Do we have to reinvent the wheel or can you all make sure police will be there during the entire year? I believe you have a duty to ensure security for our children, not only for the protection of the retail stores.

In addition to the above, it seems lately that there are even more Bird motorized scooters (16 is the age ) to be found in the City and underage children without helmet protection (as described in the law) are using them on the streets as well as the sidewalks creating a danger for pedestrians, not to mention themselves.

We have also asked that Segways be removed from the sidewalks as well as bicycles; as yet nothing has happened in this regard.

What was in the newspaper is that close to $5 million will be used to make sure El Rodeo is happy instead of using some of that money to: (a) hire more officers so that the City's needs are met; (b) make sure that Sunset Boulevard median is beautified, and sidewalks are made safe.

Also this Beverly Hills BOLD increases the visitor population and thereby there is a rise in criminal activities exposing us to more risk.

While you are visiting “noise,” please consider silencing the motorcycles and the “muffler” fixed automobiles and, yes, the barking dogs.

I always wonder if our city attorney believes the laws are made on disposable paper or that they really exist? Where do safety rules and care start and stop?

Pablo Nankin, MD ****** Robert Block is wrong. The median strip on Burton Way is the remnant of the old Pacific Electric trolley system, not a grand European promenade.

The Sawtelle line ran there.

The proposed plantings will not be a “cactus zoo.” Even if it were, this wouldn’t be disgraceful.

For the five years preceding the unusually heavy 2016-2017 rain year, Los Angeles got less rain than Joshua Tree National Park.

As the drought worsens, neither the City of Beverly Hills nor those who live here can afford to waste water on keeping grass green.

Whatever your belief system, the plants that used to be here before Beverly Hills was developed are the ones we should be planting now. These are the ones that evolved alongside birds, butterflies and insects, and small mammals to coexist together in a complex harmony.

Not green lawns imported from England, appropriate to climates getting 35 inches of rain or more annually, not the approximately six inches annual rainfall that appears to be the new normal here.

And if California native plants don’t fit the City’s needs, at the very least we can plan parkways and plantings to reduce water use and to save rainwater.

Thanks to Director of Public Works Shana Epstein, and the forward-thinking City staffers who are moving this project forward.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 13). This solar return shows you making time for the things you love but have rarely been able to do. This is not because of a major professional shift; rather, you just decide to honor yourself. An ally will inspire you to stick by your convictions. In 2019, the professional scene ramps up. A deal in January will help your nest egg. Pisces and Leo adore you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will try and talk you out of your feelings or your decisions. Perhaps they are well-meaning, but you've good reasons for your current position. Take their opinions into consideration, but don't defer to anyone today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You need a new perspective on the old scenery, but you're not going to get it staring at the same thing day after day. Go out into some new scenery, and when you come back things will look different to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Tolerance does not mean sticking around where harm (or even irritation) could come to you. You can leave. You can have a “you do you” attitude and then get far away from that noise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To act against our own beliefs is, unfortunately, common human folly. We are always negotiating with our animal nature, which often has stronger needs and agendas than we realize. Forgive yourself, and try again.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Rubbernecking slows traffic. It's also true on a personal level. Stick with the journey you're on, eyes on your own road.

What they are doing is only relevant where it directly intersects with you or boosts your progress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your confidence is growing these days, due to the action you take, the loyalty you display and your constant vigilance in doing the right thing. To accept responsibility and build from there is the confident choice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're so creative today, and you can trust your spontaneous instincts. You'll be delighted by life's unpredictable answers, because you dare to ask the unpredictable questions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whether your action results in success or failure is irrelevant today. What's important is that you follow through, honoring your strong convictions. Action increases your confidence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You choose your work or family situation or institution of education not because you'll be great there but because you need to learn the lessons that are available there. This is done either consciously or unconsciously.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr.19). Humans make mistakes. It's part of our charm.

The way we get things wrong can be spectacular, or subtle and interesting.

Mistakes can draw us together or pull us apart. It's a day to be open-minded and forgiving.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You love to be around talented people and/or experience extreme talent through whatever medium you can. Right now you're a sponge, and can absorb a little of the magic as you observe it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The solution is three steps. First, decide not to stress. Second, let go. And third, move on. Do them fast, without too much thinking. Of course, it will help to know what you're moving on to do.
