By Laura Coleman Guests at the 66th Emmy Awards’ most glamorous afterparty, the Governors Ball, will be treated to a “kaleidoscope of color” this year and it’s going to be spectacular. A sneak peak this week at the Television Academy provided a glimpse of what awaits the party’s 4,000 guests on Aug. 25 at the L.A. Convention Center - a

sensory delight of saturation of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Planning Commission of Beverly Hills, at its special meeting to be held on Thursday, August 7, 2014, at 1:00 p.m., or as soon after as the matter is heard, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider: A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTIES IN THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE CITY AND AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADDRESS CONCERNS RELATED TO BUILDING SCALE AND MASS AND PARKING. The proposed Ordinance would amend the City of Beverly Hills development standards for single family properties in the central area of the City. The proposed amendments include the following: 1) Add definitions for ‘Principal Residential Building,’ ‘Architectural Projections,’ and “Sloped Roof,’ to the zoning definitions in the Municipal Code; 2) Prohibit light wells from being located in front or side setback areas except for street side setbacks where light wells may be located if screened; 3) Require porte cocheres to be set back a minimum of four feet (4’) from the front façade of a house; 4) For properties located south of Santa Monica Boulevard, extend the nine-foot (9’) wide side setback required on one side of the house the entire length of the property (currently this setback is only required for the first thirty eight feet behind the front setback line); 5) Require walls or fences over eighteen inches (18”) high in the front setback to be set back a minimum of two feet (2’) from the front lot line and require landscaping in this two-foot area; 6) Require the following landscape standards: a) a two-foot wide area of landscaping along the entire length of each side yard; b) mature trees in front yards with restrictions on the types of trees permitted to meet this requirement; 7) Require additional parking spaces for new homes and for additional bedrooms beyond six bedrooms; 8) Revise the standards for maximum height in the principal building area for houses north of Santa Monica Boulevard to include a maximum allowed roof plate height in addition to the maximum allowed height (to the highest element of the building).

9) Require a house to have a greater front setback than currently required by code to build to the new maximum roof plate height. This would result in the need to provide a greater front setback to achieve the interior ceiling heights allowed by right today.

The Planning Commission resolution is also expected to include recommendation to the City Council to review the City’s Design Review process.

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. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption and implementation of the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. The Ordinance does not authorize construction. This Ordinance is exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may be submitted, c/o Planning Services, 455 N. Rexford Drive, 1st Floor, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 and should be received prior to 5:00 p.m. on July 30, 2014 to be included with the Planning Commission’s agenda packet. Written materials may be submitted during the public hearing.

Please note that if you challenge the City’s action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at a public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the end of the public comment period.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Michele McGrath, Principal Planner, Community Development Department, Planning, at 310.285.1135 or mmcgrath@beverlyhills.org. The case file, including a copy of the proposed ordinance, is available for review in the Community Development Department/Planning Services Section, 1st Floor, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California.

DATE: TIME:

August 7, 2014 9:00 AM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: City Council Chambers Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its SPECIAL meeting on Thursday, August 7, 2014, will hold a public hearing beginning at 9:00 AM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider: A request to participate in a shared parking arrangement to allow the establishment of a new approximately 5,100 square foot educational institution (Beverly Hills Lingual Institute) within the commercial building located at 8383 Wilshire Boulevard. The request would allow the education institution to meet the City’s parking requirements by sharing parking spaces with the office tenants in the building since the education institution would experience peak parking demand during evening hours, whereas the office uses experience peak parking demand during afternoon hours. The Planning Commission may authorize the required parking for primarily nighttime uses to be satisfied through such a shared parking arrangement if it can be demonstrated that sufficient parking is available and that the educational institution experiences peak parking demand during evening hours.

This project 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 project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption for operational changes within an existing commercial facility, and the project has been determined not to have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission.

According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Shena Rojemann, Associate Planner in the Planning Division at 310.285.1192 or by email at srojemann@beverlyhills.org.

Application materials associated with the project are on file with the Community Development Department and can be reviewed by any interested person. Please contact the project planner listed above to schedule an appointment to view the application materials.

Emma Stone and Colin Firth bathing at the Cote d’Azur

Simon McBurney is a pal of Colin Firth

Colin Firth and Emma Stone co-star in what columnist Cindy Adems describes as Woody Allen’s “latest bi-monthly film,” Magic In The Moonlight. Woody’s 44th film is set in the 1920s along the French Riviera, with authentic costumes by Sonia Grande.

H

is 44th film opens nationwide this weekend, which we are anxious to see.

Count on Woody Allen for smart dialogue, curious characters, the best music (cabaret and classical) and scenic vistas.

N

ot missing a beat, Woody’s already head-overheels busy in Providence, Rhode Island, directing his “secret” 45th. Written for Emma Stone, who stars in his current comedy, Magic In The Moonlight, set in the 1920s along the French Riviera.

L

ast Thursday, Woody premiered Magic In The Moonlight that he wrote and directed at Manhattan’s Paris Theatre. Dolce & Gabbana sponsored the after-party at the swanky Harlow. “He and Soon-Yi Pevin barely made it halfway down the rosebedecked aisle, a nod to the South of France’s location, before turning around and abruptly leaving,” reports the New York Post’s must-read Emily Smith. “It was too crowded … Woody is claustrophic.”

I

n the crowd were the film’s Jacki Weaver, who plays a rich doyenne hooked on spiritualism and reaching out to the after-world. Colin Firth, who co-stars as a famed illusionist with the stage moniker of Wei Ling Soo, and Emma Stone lauded as a hotshot medium with Colin convinced he’ll expose as a fraud.

Page 6 | July 25, 2014

Woody describes Emma

as a wonderful actress, who has that magical feeling of being “beautifully movie star-y.”

“T

he biggest mystery of all is falling in love, something that is as real as it is impossible to fully explain … a natural human condition to want things to be a little more magical,” says Emma, “and the magic in our movie is love.

Yes, it just happens. It might not make sense logically, but that’s what’s so magical about it.”

A

dds Woody, “Seeing someone and being instantly attracted to them is an unexplainable thing. You try to give reasons for it: I like the person’s style, I like their sense of humor, I like their ideas, I like the way they look – but in the end, you never really know what it is because someone with the same style and sense of humor or whatever, you are not attracted to.

“I

t is so complex because there is something intangible there. I’m sure a million years from now, with computers they’ll be able to mathematically graph what is going on.

But for now and for the foreseeable future, there is no proof it will ever change. There is a certain magical excitement to meeting somebody and having positive romantic feelings.”

New York premieregoers

also included Emma’s mate Andrew Garfield (who plays a priest in Martin Scorsese’s Silence), the film’s Christina Hendricks, Katie Couric with

husband John Dolner, Christine Baranski, Jean Doumanian, Vogue’s Anna Wintour, Audrey Tautou, Dana Delany, Josh Lucas, Joy and Regis Philbin, the New York Post’s witty and peripatetic Cindy Adams. Toasting Woody as the toast of the town, Cindy talked about Woody’s “newest bimonthly film.”

“I

’m always thinking up ideas,” he confided to her. “Jot them down on anything. A paper napkin, matchbox, stick them in this drawer I keep in my house … writing’s easy … three weeks … laying on my bed in the bedroom … I write with a ballpoint pen on a yellow legal pad. Then it’s typed.

“M

aybe it won’t turn out good. Could be terrible. If it’s decent, we promote it.

Once it’s finished and deserves to be loved, I’m thrilled.”

T

his past Monday, Magic In The Moonlight screened at our Linwood Dunn Theatre in Hollywood, and for the San Francisco premiere last week, Woody prepared this taped welcome, along with an apology for not being there.

“W

e all worked very hard on this film, living for three months in the French Riviera, forced to have meal after meal of French food and French wines. It was hell.

“I

hope you have a good time with the movie and that you like what we did, but in the event I screwed up and you hate every frame, don’t panic – I’m already at work on another

Guests at this year’s Creative Arts Ball on Aug. 16 are in for a similar treat.

Patina Catering, under the direction of Chef Joachim Splichal, has created the threecourse menu for both TV Academy after-parties.

Lucy — Myriad Special Effects Tailor-made For 3D If ever a film was tailormade for a 3D presentation, it is Lucy written and directed by Luc Besson and starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman. Unfortunately, it wasn’t made in 3D, hence the disappointment.

Besson’s contention (for the film) is that we utilize only 10percent of our brain’s capacity appears to be fallacious. We actually use 100-percent. However, seeing the utter destruction and wanton killing of human beings throughout the world, one would think that our leaders

Jerry Cutler on Film are using a total of 10-percent to govern our universe…if that!

In Besson’s screenplay, Johansson, while in a coma has a potent drug put into her system by ruthless gangsters and eventually exploding into myriads of dangerous molecules enabling

her to use an increasing percentage of her brainpower as the film unbelievably goes from one absurdity to another. The demure actress is now able to psychedelically outmaneuver, outshoot and outsmart the sinister forces that originally placed the drugs in her. It’s during those moments that the multi-colored special 3D effects, if used, would have brought more visual enjoyment to the screen.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: August 7, 2014 TIME: 9:00 AM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: City Council Chambers Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its SPECIAL meeting on Thursday, August 7, 2014, will hold a public hearing beginning at 9:00 AM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider the following: Zone Text Amendment. A request for a Zone Text Amendment to amend the Beverly Hills Municipal Code regarding development standards for lot line adjustments. Currently, lot line adjustments may only be requested when the properties involved comply with the City’s minimum lot standards or the lots are existing, legally nonconforming and the requested adjustment will result in either a decrease or no change in the degree of existing nonconformity. If approved, the Zone Text Amendment would establish a process to allow adjacent lots that are nonconforming with respect to site area to adjust property lot lines so that one property would increase in site area and one property would decrease in site area; and Lot Line Adjustment. A request for a Lot Line Adjustment for the properties located at 1021 North Beverly Drive and 1054 Shadow Hill Way. As proposed, the property line between the two sites would be adjusted resulting in approximately 12,000 square feet of site area being removed from the 1054 Shadow Hill Way property and added to 1021 North Beverly Drive property.

The proposed Zone Text Amendment and Lot Line Adjustment have 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, and have been determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061 (b)(3) of the Guidelines, which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Since the proposed Zone Text Amendment and Lot Line Adjustment would not result in physical changes to the property other than the relocation of property lines, no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment exists, and therefore, the project is exempt from CEQA. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission.

According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Shena Rojemann, Associate Planner in the Planning Division at 310.285.1192 or by email at srojemann@beverlyhills.org.

Application materials associated with the project are on file with the Community Development Department and can be reviewed by any interested person. Please contact the project planner listed above to schedule an appointment to view the application materials.

BHGLAAR Charitable Foundation Seeks Program Applicants

Robin Greenberg President of BHGLAAR Charitable Foundation

By Victoria Talbot Beverly Hills Greater Los Angeles Association of Realtors (BHGLAAR) Charitable Foundation, Inc. announced its scholarship program this week to benefit high school or undergraduate students taking classes related to real estate.

“We love it when people are interested in going into a career in real estate,” said Robin Greenberg, the foundation’s president.

The foundation is reaching

out to applicants from across the area which BHGLAAR covers, including Los Angeles, Culver City, Marina del Rey, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

They will review applications for eligibility and determine from the number of applications how many scholarships are given and for how much money, said Greenberg.

“Most of the scholarships are local,” continued Greenberg. “The number varies according to need. We receive the

applications, make the decisions and encourage everyone to apply.”

“I was fortunate enough to receive scholarships when in school. It brings me great pleasure to be in a position to pay it forward,” she said.

The program supports the realtors of tomorrow with grants from $350-$1,500. The only two requirements are that the student be enrolled in a real estate-related program and have a combined GPA of 2.5 or

greater. Award amounts will be based on financial need.

Deadline to submit applications is Sept. 30. Visit www.bhglaar.com or contact Selina Vasquez at 310-9678800 or selina@bhglaar.com.

Formed in 2003, the foundation provides funds, professional assistance and assets to individuals and organizations in need.

Editor’s Note: The following appeared in Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Koretz’ newsletter this week, sent to all of his constituents. The editorial that follows is a response from Fred Rosen, President of the Bel Air Homeowner’s Alliance:

Paul Koretz’ “Hi 5” Newsletter for his Fifth Council District: For the community of Bel Air, July 15 was a day of important rulings.

That morning, L.A.'s Building and Safety Commission held a hearing regarding a haul route application for the 10697 Somma Way. After listening to the concerns of Councilmember Paul Koretz and the community, ranging from street safety to the amount of dirt being removed, the commission accepted the councilmember’s request and granted a 45-day continuance, while instructing the developer and community to work with the council office on formulating potential conditions which might be applied for the duration of the haul route.

Later that afternoon, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety issued a “Notice to stop all construction and notice of intent to revoke building permits” related to the 901 Strada Vechhia project in Bel-Air. This action followed directly on the heels of a letter sent by Koretz to

LADBS general manager Ray Chan, urging him to “put a hold on all project permits and order all work at this property to cease so your department has an opportunity to study the issues raised by community members.”

In that letter, the councilmember noted: “Compelling evidence has been brought to my attention indicating that a massive residential project under construction at 901 Strada Vecchia may have evaded multiple required entitlements and California Environmental Quality Act review as a result of misrepresentations in the project’s permit plans.” Koretz added that the developer has appeared to ignore Orders to Comply issued

by LADBS. The letter also mentioned unpermitted grading and demolishing and the possibility of excessive numbers of retaining walls on the property, and indicated the site’s natural grade may have been misrepresented to permit a project that exceeds the Code’s height limit.

Councilmember Koretz additionally cited slope failures and landslides, and said: “It is hard to believe that a project that looks more like the Getty Center than a home could have been built without a single discretionary entitlement or public input. Before the aesthetics and safety of the surrounding community are further compromised, all construction activities in the property should cease,” while evidence is being carefully studied: “It is one thing for a developer to build a large home because the code allows him to do so. It is altogether a different thing when the code may have been skirted, with an entire community’s way of life in jeopardy.”

Building and Safety’s notice, issued hours later, stated that: “The height of the single family dwelling exceeds the height limit as permitted by the L.A. Municipal Code,” and that, “as per the inspection records, as built, construction does not reflect the approved construc-

tion shown on the approved set of plans.” All construction work approved under the pertinent building permits was therefore ordered stopped immediately.

Procedurally, the developer has until July 30 to call the appropriate people at Building and Safety to address this and provide reasons why these permits should not be revoked; otherwise they are to be revoked on that date.

July 15 was important for Bel-Air because of what transpired that day, but it is important to note there have been months and years of crucial effort, as development has intensified due to the improving economy and the extraordinary desirability of homes in that community. Ongoing construction too often results in a neighborhood being flooded with illegally parked cars. The councilmember sought and achieved an increase in the amount of red curbs near active construction sites, plus the parking patrol was increased to three per week

throughout the Bel-Air community and signage around construction sites was improved.

When one project deviated from its haul route, Koretz’ office, with the help of Building and Safety, was able to gain suspension of all activity to that site for one week; a substantial, costly penalty for the developer and one that led to corrections.

CD 5 also achieved an increased presence of the LAPD Commercial Unit that inspects and monitors all commercial activity taking place in Bel-Air. The CHP has also visited BelAir, per the request of CD 5, to inspect the haul routes and the trucks.

Throughout such efforts, Councilmember Koretz and his staff have worked closely with the Neighborhood Council, the Bel-Air Association, and other involved constituents. He thanks the community and the many who’ve been engaged in these key issues.

Fred Rosen, President Bel Air Homeowner’s Alliance Responds: In reading your (Councilmember Paul Koretz’) most recent newsletter, life is about integrity and truth–lies are unacceptable.

1. Your office did get the continuance on Somma Way. The commission did not ask the developer to work with your office and the community on formulating potential mitigating conditions for the project. Ray Chan (general manager of Building and Safety) offered his office for mediation. The community does not trust you. We do not want you or your office to represent our interests. On the contrary, we want no more hauling routes in the hillside and will do whatever is necessary to make our position is understood. We are willing to meet with the developer and are waiting for him to contact us.

2. It’s good that you took a position on 901 Strada Vecchia.

For years you have ignored calls and emails on that project. Why do you think it’s so far along?

Only the pressure and certainty

of legal proceedings made you responsive. You were reactive, not proactive.

3. Let’s get to the biggest mistruths in your newsletter: How dare you take credit for the LAPD and CHP in the hillside!

That came from my call to Chief Charlie Beck, who knew nothing about the project as your office had failed to notify him.

The police (eight members from LAPD) were at my home within two days with members of the BAHA board. We then toured the community. Their view was that the hills are dangerous with all the traffic from construction projects. One of our supporters called the CHP. It was not you or your office. The LAPD and the CHP communicated with us directly. That is why trucks were stopped on Sunset and on the 405.

In truth, you had absolutely nothing to do with any of it.

Shame on you!

4. You talk about parking…

While important, it is not the

central issue to this community.

Earth hauling is totally out of control and that's the real issue.

We're building homes, not military bases. The whole idea of hauling routes in all the hillsides of Los Angeles makes no sense.

More than 1 million cubic yards of dirt has been removed from the Bel-Air community in the last three years. You seem oblivious to that fact. That's just not acceptable. Does anyone know what the consequences are?

During the next three years, more than 250,000 trips will be made up and down the hills by earth hauling trucks, cement trucks and subcontractor vehicles.

You are blithely unaware. If you are, then you just don't care. If this continues, statistically, someone is going to leave the community in a body bag.

You approve projects without understanding the consequences they generate. We have had enough. After the tragedies on Loma Vista, it still took you 90 days to visit the hillsides! You

should have made the trip that week. We cannot afford your indifference.

As Winston Churchill said: “It’s no use saying–we are doing our best.’ You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary and haven't even come close.

5. Noah (Muhlstein) was with me when all the trucks were being staged on Stone Canyon. I brought him there after they’d been there for a week. No one had done anything until I pointed it out. Then you had to take those steps.

Haul routes without enforcement, limits on the number of trucks and real bonds for the damage they cause are fundamentally meaningless. Your office continues to advocate this.

6. If not for the efforts of the Bel-Air Homeowners Alliance, the status quo would be in place and remediation would not have happened. You ignore us and mention the BAHA for its efforts in what? Planting flowers? You have allowed our community to

be under a construction bombardment. The rights of the developers have overridden quiet enjoyment and the safety and security of the residents.

I am sick of hearing that the developers are going to sue the city! You are our elected representative and have forgotten whom your constituents are. (360 Stone Canyon proves that!)

The status quo is unacceptable. Nor is it acceptable that you take credit for accomplishments you had nothing to do with. Respect given is respect earned.

Our organization is working to protect all the hillsides and the safety and security of residents.

In our opinion, your record as a public servant is abysmal. You have significantly failed in your responsibility to our community and all the hillsides.

METRO PERMITS (Continued from page 4)

Utility relocation work includes the relocation and rearrangement of sewer, water, storm drain and electrical power utilities required for the construction of the La Cienega Station.

The work will primarily be located at Wilshire Boulevard between La Cienega and San Vicente Boulevards. It will take approximately 30-months to complete.

Two scenarios for construction hours will be considered: One includes nighttime

TEEN CANCER (Continued from page 4)

Sadka started “Teens Curing Cancer” as a club at BHHS and it has recently been certified as a 501(c)(3) organization.

“Our goal is through fundraisers run by teens, we can encourage other teens to learn about cancer and support pediatric cancer research,” Sadka told The Courier. “A lot of people don’t know about pediatric cancer, it’s kind of an afterthought compared to breast cancer or lung cancer.”

The organization has raised about $11,000 through service projects, Sadka said.

One such project was a “Teens Curing Cancer Art Gallery” held last May.

work between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. (midnight to 9 a.m. during theatre events) and limited daytime work between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday-Friday and on weekends. The second is daytime work between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. with limited nighttime and weekend work.

Residents near current construction at Wilshire/Fairfax have complained at public meetings about the disturbance caused by the nighttime work.

If the permits are approved, construction would begin no earlier than three weeks after Metro provides public notice to residence and businesses.

Sadka called the award a “huge honor” and said he’s “really grateful to the Diller family.”

“Our goal is to get this nationwide, and we’ve got to start somewhere. I will be handing it down to a younger group of students at BHHS and I hope to stay in touch with them and help them out,” Sadka said.

Sadka said he plans to pursue a biomedical engineering degree. Born and raised in Beverly Hills by Jewish parents, he said his name translates from Hebrew to “repairing the world.”

“One of the core values of Judaism is to inspire others to make a difference,” Sadka said.

“I really hope other students doing service projects can apply that to their lives.”

901 STRADA VECCHIA (Continued from page 1)

The LADBS came down hard on the property after a neighbor who lives directly below the property filed a formal appeal of 901’s permits with the city. Joseph Horacek’s appeal alleges that Hadid’s project has skirted numerous permit processes for grading and other construction-related activity, and has continuously ignored “Orders to Comply” by the city of L.A. when certain violations were found.

Horacek isn’t the only neighbor to take issue with Hadid’s sprawling mansion. Three other lawsuits have been filed, although Hadid’s attorney Bruce Rudman confirmed that one of those suits was recently settled. The other two still in litigation revolve around Strada Vecchia neighbors adjacent to the property.

The two properties are uphill from 901 Strada Vecchia and at one point decades ago, all three were one giant parcel before they were split some 8090 years ago into three separate parcels. Both of the other properties share a common hillside above 901 Strada Vecchia and Hadid’s attorney Bruce Rudman claims that when Hadid

purchased the property, there was an old rock wall holding up the hillside. Hadid built a new wall, which Rudman claims was over the exact footprint of the previous wall. The neighbors disagreed, and a lawsuit was filed to seek an injunction by LW Partnership L.P., representing the homeowner of 890 Strada Vecchia claiming the new wall is trespassing on their land and that a large eucalyptus tree at the end of their driveway had its roots cut out by 901 contractors.

The other lawsuit, filed by another Strada Vecchia neighbor named Carol Cramer, insists that same wall infringes on her property as well, and also claims that in the process of installing the wall, tree roots were cut that damaged six pine trees on her property.

LW Partnership’s attorney David Grossman told The Courier his client did not wish to make any public comments at this time. Cramer’s attorney Trevor Grimm did not return a call for comment.

Hadid says in the case of those two lawsuits, “it’s a dispute over three inches. When you are building, you wish they would dispute it prior to building the wall, not after.”

by LADBS forbidding any further work to be done.

Hadid denied any wrongdoing to The Courier this week and said that he “always worked with the city of L.A.’s Building codes.”

“We have paid over $250,000 in fees, permits and bonds. Our commitment is to finish the project and assist the city of L.A. with its inquiry,” Hadid said. “All documents and plans have been certified by state certified experts, including geologists, grading specialists and approved by the Planning Department and further signed off on by the city grading inspector.”

Beverly Hills Homeowners Alliance sources told The Courier they feel permit fees charged by the city of L.A. do not approach the cost for the city to enforce the rules and are not a deterrent to developers like Hadid not applying for permits in advance of work starting.

Real estate sources tell The Courier the home could go on the market this fall for around $40 million.

3-year-Old Hears For The First Time After First Auditory Brainstem Implant Surgery On Toddler At CHLA A local team of scientists and surgeons from USC’s Keck Medicine, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI) reported that sound registered in the brain of a deaf Canadian boy for the first time after doctors activated a hearing device that had been surgically implanted in his brainstem.

Auguste Majkowski, 3, is the first child in the U.S. to undergo an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) surgery in an FDAapproved trial supported by a National Institutes of Health clinical trial grant. Six weeks after surgery at CHLA, the device was activated with positive results at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery clinic at Keck Medicine.

Auguste’s surgery, device activation and future behavioral study are part of a five-year clinical trial in which 10 devices will be implanted in deaf children under 5 and studied over three years. The L.A. study, coled by audiologist Laurie Eisenberg, Ph.D., and surgeon Eric Wilkinson, M.D., is the only one in the U.S. supported by the NIH. The surgical team that per-

Six weeks after surgery at CHLA, Auguste Majkowski, 3, had his device activated at USC’s Keck Medicine and he responded to sound.

formed the operation at Children’s Hospital included Wilkinson, HMRI research scientist and neurotologist at House Clinic; HMRI research scientist and House Clinic neurosurgeon Marc Schwartz, M.D., and pediatric neurosurgeon Mark D. Krieger, M.D., CHLA Billy and Audrey Wilder chair, division of Neurosurgery.

Attending the surgery was also Vittorio Colletti, M.D., of the University of Verona Hospital, Verona, Italy, who has performed the most ABI surgeries on children overseas and is a

collaborator on the study.

“Hundreds of children in the U.S. can benefit from ABI surgery,” said Krieger, associate professor of clinical neurosurgery at the Keck School.

“These children would otherwise never hear or develop verbal speech in their lives.”

Auguste was the first child accepted into the L.A. study.

Thirty-six days after surgery, his parents watched as audiologists Margaret Winter, M.S. and Jamie Glater, Au.D., from the USC Center for Childhood Com(see ‘TODDLER,’ page 17)

munication activated the device implanted in Auguste’s brainstem.

When Winter delivered tiny pulses of electric current to the electrodes in his brain, the toddler lifted his head indicating he heard a sound.

Auguste has been deaf since birth. At 22 months, he underwent a bilateral cochlear implant, which uses electrodes to stimulate auditory nerves, but the device didn’t help him hear because he doesn’t have a cochlear, or hearing, nerve.

Auguste traveled with his parents, Sophie and Christophe, from Montreal to Los Angeles to participate in the clinical trial.

During the six-hour surgery in May, doctors made an incision by Auguste’s right ear and removed his right cochlear implant before implanting the ABI device on his brainstem.

The ABI device has external and internal parts. The external parts, which consist of a processor with a microphone and transmitter, transform sound into electrical signals and transmit the signals to an internal receiver that is part of the electrode array. The electrode array is placed on the cochlear nucleus of the brainstem.

The procedure is considered revolutionary because it stimulates neurons directly at the human brainstem, bypassing the inner ear entirely.

Dealing With A 2-Year-Old Who Makes Up ‘Aggressive’ Stories Q. Dear Dr. Fran: My 2-yearold is making up stories about being hit or pushed by someone named Bryan or Ryan. We do not know anyone by this name, but he is saying these things and we don’t know why.

He does not get spanked? He has a schedule and we spend a lot of time with him. Is this normal or should I be concerned: When I really question him about it, he will later tell me our dog did it, but she has been outside all day. Should I be concerned or is this normal behavior?

Ellen S. A. Dear Ellen: It is developmentally age-appropriate for a 2year-old to use his imagination.

Imaginative play begins for

toddlers at around that age. This is the reason moms and dads give their toddlers pots, pans, and large wooden spoons, and the young child might begin stirring and say he’s making soup (or mixing a cake)!

I am more concerned by the fact that the stories your little son is “making up” involve aggression toward him.

Here are some of the things for you to consider.: Is it possible that a babysitter or nanny took your son to the park and another little boy hit or pushed him in sandbox? Sometimes, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where your child met another child who may have hit or pushed him when he was with you out in the world.

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions When your child tells you that Bryan or Ryan hits or pushes him, does he seem scared or anxious? Are there any changes in your child’s sleeping, eating patterns, or mood? Is anyone yelling at your child?

Sometimes, a child will categorize anger as hitting. Another consideration is your child’s speech and language development. Does he ever get mixed

up when trying to express his thoughts and needs? Could it be that he’s trying to say something different, but lands on the words “hit” or “pushed”?

If, after exploring these considerations you still feel uneasy, I suggest you reach out to your pediatrician to request a referral to an experienced child psychologist whose expertise is getting inside the mind of a 2year-old. Take a deep breath and try not to worry until you know for sure there’s a reason to.

PAYSINGER LAWSUIT (Continued from page 1)

Goldberg has been vocal in his belief that Paysinger’s lawsuit is motivated by his upcoming book release that Paysinger co-wrote with former Boardmember Steven Fenton.

Coincidentally, the book is slated for release on Nov. 4 and is currently available for preorder online.

Following last week’s news that Paysinger’s attorney had filed a federal lawsuit against the district, hundreds of community members rallied in support of BHHS’s first AfricanAmerican principal, circulating an online petition that as of press time, had gathered 421 digital signatures.

“Some of the comments. . . talked about how you should be recalled,” BHHS 75’ alum and petition originator Michael Suter told the board at Tuesday’s meeting.

A handful of other speakers addressed the board on Tuesday evening to advocate on Paysinger’s behalf. Alan Nierob said that “thousands of Carter supporters were asked to stand down.”

“Mr. Paysinger, the community of alumni, students and staff have your back,” Dev Hankin said.

Although Paysinger’s complaint does not specifically elaborate on how he was harmed, the lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of damages and demands a trial by jury. Paysinger’s attorney Reed Aljian did not respond to a request for clarification.

“Mr. Paysinger used every internal nonpublic method to resolve his concerns regarding the Board of Education’s campaign of discrimination and retaliation, but on every occasion the board responded with hostility, anger, and increased discrimination and retaliation, creating an intolerable working environment,” Aljian told The Courier in an email.

The suit alleges that Paysinger was “threatened,” “harassed” and made the subject of discriminatory remarks, among other allegations.

Hall called the lawsuit “baseless.” ”I made no racist remarks and neither did my colleagues as claimed in the lawsuit,” he said.

“There are no facts that can support these charges,” Boardmember Lisa Korbatov said. “A reading of his complaint reveals that Mr. Paysinger’s allegations themselves don’t even seem to be based on facts, but instead are based on Carter Paysinger’s, ‘belief.’ That means his opinion. This legalese sleight of hand is obviously intended to create a false impression.

Worse, Carter Paysinger invented fictitious comments that I never said solely to impugn my record.”

The complaint alleges that:

BEVERLY HILLS “Ms. Korbatov told Mr. Paysinger that ‘one of the problems that you will have is that you do not look like what a principal of Beverly Hills High School should look like.’”

The suit further alleges that Goldberg said: “[Mr. Paysinger] looks more intelligent when he wears glasses.”

“The issue of the complaint has now moved from the school system to the court system,” Board President Noah Margo told The Courier.

“Unanswered questions will be answered.”

On Monday, the BHUSD released a statement affirming that Paysinger would be in place to open the school year.

Classes are set to resume on Monday, Aug. 11.

“Some have speculated that the BHUSD Board of Education intends to place Carter Paysinger on ‘administrative leave’ as the BHHS principal for the upcoming school year. This is not accurate,” the BHUSD informed parents and staff in a message sent out via PACE Monday afternoon.

On July 8, all five seated board members voted to give Paysinger a raise as part of a salary enhancement package for BHUSD principals and assistant principals.

Paysinger, who graduated from BHHS in 1974, has worked for the district since 1979. In 2003 he won the Apple Award, the district’s highest distinction.

Earlier this year the board voted to launch an investigation into Paysinger’s involvement with the Beverly Hills Sports Academy.

Paysinger repeatedly told district officials that since becoming principal he was no longer involved with the forprofit sports camp that operated during the summer.

Paysinger also failed to report it in his legally required Statement of Economic Interests Form 700.

Goldberg said that launching the investigation, which concluded that Paysinger received financial benefits from the camp, was the district’s “cardinal sin.”

“This board is not racist,” said BHUSD consultant LaTanya Kirk-Carter, who noted that as an African-American woman she had experienced racism first-hand outside the district. “[There’s] no racism here, not a shred, not a lick.

Just good people.”

Margo and neophyte Boardmember Howard Goldstein are the only members of the board not named in the lawsuit.

Goldstein likened himself to a modern-day Don Quixote, ”on a deeply personal, but quite possibly futile quest to revitalize the BHUSD during one of its most fraught periods in its high schools’ history.”

Previously Korbatov and Goldberg voted to make him BHHS principal.

WATER CONSERVATION (Continued from page 4)

residents voluntarily restrict watering to three days a week.

Residents who live north of Santa Monica Boulevard are asked to restrict their watering to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Those who live south of Santa Monica are asked to water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

In addition, the City asks that watering be limited to the hours between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. to minimize evaporation.

The City also asks that no one water between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. nor on Sunday.

Though not yet compulsory, these restrictions may be imposed at a later date if voluntary compliance is not enough to reach the City’s goals.

With California facing one of the worst droughts on record, Gov. Brown joined with the state’s Senate and Assembly leaders to help communities respond to the problems.

The state of California is spending $1 million for a Save Our Water public awareness campaign to inform Californians how they can help save.

The bill also paves the way for individual communities to fine those guilty of water waste up to $500 a day for infractions.

The wagyu starter is meltin-your-mouth delicious with a buttery texture that mingles with the truffle dusting. A white pizza of buffalo mozzarella upon which truffles are generously shaved on tableside provides the perfect accompaniment to peruse the menu while savoring the superb flavors atop the thin crust slices.

Among Fineo’s most revered dishes is a porcini risotto, an extravagant dish made with aged rice and finished tableside with 24-month aged parmigiano reggiano. Truffles

Voluntary restrictions have resulted in an overall five percent increase, according to the Water Resources Control Board. Felicia Marcus, board chair, has warned that Californians should prepare for further restrictions if there is no rain this fall. The governor’s office is seeking a 20-percent decrease in usage.

Most of the state’s water usage is in agriculture. But in urban settings, landscape watering is the egregious.

State regulators are hopeful that residents will respond as they did in the 1976-77 drought, when water usage dropped 20-percent. A dirty car and a brown lawn will take on new meaning as most of the possible restrictions will target urban water uses, such as overwatering, irresponsible carwashing, power-washing surfaces and using potable water in fountains.

Residents have stepped up their complaints to the Public Works Customer Service center. The City has responded to dozens of complaints of excessive watering, leakage and power-washing complaints.

An automatic leak-detection program will notify residents if a leak has been detected and urge residents to fix them as soon as possible after notification.

Second Annual J. Paul Getty Medal Goes To Lord Rothschild

By Victoria Talbot Getty President and CEO James Cuno announced today that the 2014 J. Paul Getty medal for extraordinary achievement in the fields of museology, art historical research, philanthropy, conservation and conservation science will go to Lord Rothschild OM GBE. Rothschild has served as Chairman of the National Gallery of Art, the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Pritzker Prize for Architecture, Trustee and Honorary Fellow of the Courtauld Institute of Art, Trustee of the State Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg and

the Qatar Museums Authority.

The award will be given to Lord Rothschild at a gala dinner on November 9.

The J. Paul Getty Medal was established in 2013 by the Trustees of the J. Paul Getty Trust to recognize extraordinary individuals worldwide for their leadership in the fields in which the Getty works. The first recipients were Harold M. Williams and Nancy Englander, honored "for their leadership in creating the Getty as it exists today," said the Getty.

CHRISTIANSEN (continued from page 1)

Christiansen deserves relief and damages for breach of contract or if she should pay back the district all money that she and her company, Strategic Concepts, received. BHUSD’s attorney on the suit Fred Fenster, partner with Greenberg Glusker, estimated that Christiansen owes the district $3 million.

“We’re only about $20 million apart,” Christiansen’s trial attorney Philip Kaufler told The Courier.

According to the most recent complaint: “The total fees which were to be earned by plaintiffs under the amendment, if the bond issued was approved by voters, were in excess of $16 million.”

The jury trial is expected to last between two to three weeks. Treu said the court would only get involved with the interpretation of the contract if the jury finds the contracts are void.

“The issue of whether or not the contract even exists is one to make first,” Treu said. “The jury may still void the contract.”

Opening statements could com-

mence as early as Monday afternoon.

Kaufler said witnesses would be called to demonstrate that Christiansen served the district for five years “with an unblemished record” before being removed from district premises with a police escort.

In March, Treu threw out Christiansen’s lawsuit alleging fraud, corruption and malicious prosecution against former BHUSD superintendent Jerry Gross, TELACU, two law firms that represented the district, and current and former board members Myra Lurie, Myra Demeter, Brian Goldberg and Lisa Korbatov. Christiansen had sought judgment on the pleadings based on the successful appeal of her criminal conviction, which the court rejected.

Christiansen was prosecuted by the L.A. district attorney and fined $3.5 million after a jury convicted her of violating a California criminal statute that prohibits public officials from entering into contracts that benefit them personally. She was subsequently sentenced to prison for self-dealing in 2012. Her conviction was reversed on appeal in May 2013.

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.

further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

From The Publisher

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS Ari Bussel of Beverly Hills has submitted this powerful treatise on the current and tragic events now happening in the Middle East.

The Challenge To Lovers And Supporters Of Israel And To The Jewish Community In Beverly Hills

By Ari Bussel Seeing the number of advertisements about Israel (JNF, Israel Bonds, ...) in the local papers, one must surmise there is a strong pro-Israel contingency based in Beverly Hills that is targeted by these organizations for money.

It is thus surprising that Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, whose list of members includes many prominent and highly respected members of our City, is co-sponsoring a panel discussion on the challenges facing Israel from both within and without.

The panel discussion is not by ardent supporters of Israel, rather by those usually critical of the only Jewish state on this planet.

While Operation Protective Edge is in full swing, as Israel must deal once and for all with the buildup of power–to the tune of 15,000 missiles with range that extends throughout Israel–and the strategic threat of offensive tunnels that extend from Gaza into Israel, what would the Jewish community do? Gather for an evening of evaluating things in Israel that are not to their liking?

I know my neighbors and members of our community: They would do everything to support Israel at her time of need. Like members of a family, they will put all differences aside and stand strong to protect the only Jewish state. They will stop all they do and think hard, what can I do to strengthen Israel at her time of need, at our time of need!

What I did not expect is for them to come to a panel discussion that will be critical of Israel.

One of the respected members of the panel had advocated in the past the position that it is legitimate to kidnap Israeli soldiers. He may go into an elaborate explanation why his position is valid, but to me, it is most disturbing.

With the exception of Iran and Turkey, the Arab world at large is in support of Israel and against Hamas. It is the Arab world that blames Hamas for shedding the blood of the women and children of Gaza.

The head of one of the co-sponsoring organization explained to me: Ari, one of Israel's strengths is its free and open community of stakeholders that can freely advocate, support and constructively criticize. It is this foundation of democracy that allows Israel and the US to stand up in the storm in which the winds of extremism blow hard. In the tree of democracy, it remains stable, against these winds, by being fed by the divergent views of its community.

This is a panel to hear another prospective, and in no way to bash Israel they way you allude to.

Critical to Israel, but not bashing....A shame, a scandal, a shanda!

The building called the Jewish State and the Communal Tent may sustain the winds of war, but it will not survive when people within start to disassemble its walls block by block. One brick at a time, until those inside are left unprotected. Then the winds of hatred and the attempts by a determined enemy to rid the world of Jews once and for all may, finally, be successful.

As the prophet Isaiah (49:17) said: “Thy destroyers and those who laid you waste will come out of thee.”

So here is the challenge: If you want to support Israel, now is not the time to criticize her.

Now is not a “new normal,” when Israel bashing by Jewish organizations is allowed to be the norm.

Stand up, speak for Israel. Find the courage to tell your family and friends that you are either with Israel or against her.

Those who are determined to change the world, go fight the regime in Syria, where 150,000 - 200,000 men, women and children were brutally murdered and about half the population became refugees.

Those who are still driven to do good, Iran is an interesting challenge.

Or champion women's rights throughout the Arab world. And fight the persecution of Christians in Africa and in areas controlled by Isis. Or possibly address the death of close to 300 who perished during a flight, just to make a point.

Israel takes every possible precaution, that no one else in the world would even entertain, to protect the enemy's civilian population. But the enemy holds its women and children as human shields. It hides like rats in tunnels underground, storing its missiles under and firing them from within hospitals and schools, kindergartens and places of worship. True “heroes” who commit crimes against humanity.

The enemy uses ambulances to transport terrorists and weapons of mass destruction.

The enemy is cruel and ruthless. They care not about their own, let alone the Jews they hate and are determined to annihilate.

Celebrate and support Israel rather than look for every possible opportunity to stub her yet again. Elevate all that Israel does and use her actions as an example.

Do not sacrifice her on the alter of your lack of courage and conviction to fight the real fights that need be fought!

I expect the Beverly Hills community I know so well to stand up as one and say: NOT HERE, YOU DO NOT. TAKE YOUR ELEGANTLY WRAPPED HATRED AND CRITICISM ELSEWHERE. WE LOVE AND SUPPORT ISRAEL. UNCONDITIONALLY. NOW AND FOREVER.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman I’M IN A PICKLE When I was a child, our family shared the usual European foreign-born families’ zest for pickles. I would be sent to the market by my grandmother asking me to pick out the best pickles from the barrel. I did not enjoy the thought very much of plunging my hand into the brine but such was my assignment and I had to proceed.

Fortunately I was always wearing a blouse with short sleeves and so there I was, reluctantly fishing around in the pickle barrel in the neighborhood grocery store and not enjoying it one whit. I gradually learned there are smooth pickles and there are those with little bumps on them. My family’s preference was for the ones with bumps. These days, when everything is packaged, we are obliged to find our pickles sealed in large jars and never get to feel them nor smell them until we have already purchased them in their jars. But in those days, if a fished pickle was not to your taste, you could just put it back into the barrel for somebody else to feel. The acidic brine would hopefully kill the germs in the meantime.

If you share my taste for pickles, you may enjoy the annual Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market PickleFest next week. On Sunday, Aug. 3, the market will host a curated pickle contest with two categories: the “Best Dill Pickle in Beverly Hills” and “I Can Pickle That!”

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lewis Hall would have us nationalize our education system, despite the fact he hasn't read the Common Core textbooks.

One of its major benefactors and supporters, The Gates Foundation, suggests a 2-year moratorium on using “Common Core assessments for critical decisions” and that the entire program will be administrated, overseen, directed by none other than the same folks who (1) couldn't set up a website; (2) whose financial acumen managed to increase our debt and unfunded liabilities to 10s upon 10s of trillions of dollars; (3) caused 1/2 of our population to be on some form of government assistance while the other 1/2 is working longer hours for less wages; (4) made the affordable health care act un-affordable; (5) do such a swell job of managing the postal authority; (6) were asleep at the wheel while their own agencies committed unconstitutional acts against the public and our embassy was attacked.

Nothing political, Mr. Hall, but given the above, I too would be hesitant about jumping on any bandwagon our country/s current “CEO” supports.

Robert Block ****** Regarding our book, Where A Man Stands, and the lawsuit that was filed last week by Carter Paysinger. Brian Goldberg said in The Courier: “This is part of a public stunt to drum up support for the upcoming book release.” In the Los Angeles Times, he said: “It’s to increase interest in the book so hopefully he gets a movie deal out of it, make a lot of money, and use Beverly Hills High.”

All of this coming from a man who conveniently forgot to tell both newspapers that he’s been intimately involved with our book from the beginning.

Enthusiastically, Dr. Goldberg agreed to become one of the first people interviewed and–for the past two years–made himself available at every turn to offer help and support (even agreeing to go on a writers’ retreat with me to help write and fact check the book).

Until recently, he had been one of the single biggest champions of this book and for him to (now) use as a weapon to challenge our integrity is politically expedient and sad.

Actually...it’s just “Brian being Brian.”

Steven Fenton ****** So long Robinson’s–sad to say a final good-bye and see ya go. You were truly the last of your kind as we bid a final farewell to the end of an era here in Beverly Hills. Other big fancy stores remain, but somehow you were different. Your original store downtown at 7th and Grand was a treasure with it’s escalators that rattled up and down and the Round Robin Tearoom that my mother and I always ate at, on our lunch hour. When we got back to my father's office, he always asked: “Did you visit Mr. Bullock or Mr. Robinson today?!! The pace was slower, there was always someone to help the customers and it was the same in Beverly Hills with its luxurious surroundings as you roamed from department to department at your leisure. So thanks for all of the sweet Robinson's memories. It was great fun!
