Beverly Hills School District Students Post Big Scores On Standardized Testing

By Laura Coleman Stand down naysayers of Beverly Hills public school education.

On Wednesday, the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) released the results of this year’s test and the numbers are indeed impressive.

A whopping 86-percent of Beverly Hills High School 11th grade students tested in English Language Arts/Literacy exceeded or met the standard–up 22 points from last year’s 64 percent. In math, 65-percent of BHHS students exceeded or met the standard this year, up 17 points from last year’s 48-percent.

“Our kids did a tremendous service to ourselves and our community,” said BHHS Principal Dave Jackson. “[The results] show that the education of Beverly Hills is an outstanding education.”

This is the second year of the new computer adaptive standardized CAASPP test, which is given to students in grades 3-8 and 11th grade. It is similar to the previous standardized test, known as the Academic Performance Index (API).

Jackson credited his incredible team of teachers and administrators, the students and specifically Chief Academic Officer Jen (see ‘TEST SCORES’ page 18)

Beverly Hills School Board Gives Power Back To Superintendent

By Laura Coleman After more than a decade of allowing the power to slip from the hands of the Beverly Hills Unified School District’s superintendent, the Board of Education unanimously voted Tuesday night to empower the superintendent once again when it approved Board Bylaw 9200.

Partly as a result of the revolving door of superintendents who have helmed the BHUSD over the past 15 years and partly because various board members have moved far beyond simply setting policy, the decision was lauded for helping the district maintain strong leadership.

“We’re limiting our power here and letting the superintendent run the district,” clarified

Board President Howard Goldstein.

“It’s a step in the right direction,” added board member Noah Margo.

The bylaw, which details the “Limits of Board Member Authority”, firmly vests control of the district within the hands of the superintendent.

The policy states: “Individual members of the Board shall not exercise any administrative responsibility with respect to the schools or command the services of any school employee. The Board will direct the operational organization through the Superintendent or designee.”

Specific Plan (One Beverly Hills) began the Planning Commission’s review process for the Zone Text Amendment, Vesting Tentative Tract Map and the Development Plan Review, Development Agreement and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) Tuesday evening with a review of the SEIR. Traffic and parking dominated the discussion.

The Planning Commission seemed inclined to the beauty of the architecture and their

admiration for architect Richard Meier. However, despite the very public battle being waged between the Beverly Hilton and One Beverly Hills, there are two projects already approved for the area, and the commission is tasked to ensure this one has the least impact.

The community will be very disappointed if the Planning Commission uses the same standards – or lack thereof – employed for the L’Ermitage loading dock and ignores the impacts, such as three separate left turns on (see ‘WANDA SEIR’ page 17)

Mirisch Tight-Lipped On Meeting With Wanda’s Wang Jianlin In China

By Victoria Talbot Mayor John Mirisch, whose long-winded diatribes against The Beverly Hilton’s initiative have contributed to a surprisingly virulent war waged by Wanda Beverly Hills Properties, LLC against the Hilton, secretly met with the Wanda Group’s Chairman Wang Jianlin while on a tour of China earlier this month.

At the Aug. 16 City Council meeting, Mirisch completely failed to disclose his meeting with Wang.

Characterizing his travel as a “diplomatic mission,” he merely stated that he met with politicians and reported that his trip was successful.

Then, on Tuesday, Variety

reporter Gene Maddaus revealed that while he was there, Mirisch dropped in to see the chairman. “You want to let major investors know they’re welcome in your City.

I’d love for Wanda to consider Beverly Hills to be its Hollywood headquarters.”

The China trip was hosted by the Chinese International Culture Association under the guidance and support of the Chinese Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China and its subsidiary organization the Beijing Association for Cultural Exchanges. The delegation was organized by Mayor Craig Young of Yorba Linda and led by California State (see ‘JIANLIN’ page 18)

Beverly Hills Gears Up for Highly Anticipated Opening Of Off-Leash Dog Park

El Rodeo PTA To Fund One-ToOne Laptops For All Students

By Victoria Talbot Every dog has its day, and that day is coming soon for Beverly Hills pups.

On Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 12:45 p.m., the gates officially open for the Beverly Hills Community Dog Park at 344 N. Foothill Rd. and the entire community is invited.

The park development is a hallmark in Beverly Hills, putting the desires of the community first and bringing to fruition the lifelong dream of late philanthropist Paula Kent Meehan, who first expressed the desire for a dog park more than a decade ago.

The City Council and Mayor John Mirisch will be on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication from 12:30 p.m. The new park will remain open until 8 p.m.

Visitors can park at City Hall in the parking structure next to the Beverly Hills Public Library on Rexford Drive and embark on the dog-friendly shuttle to the park.

To use the park, your canine must have a tag showing that your dog is registered.

Applicants must have a valid license and their animals must

By Laura Coleman The 21st century is charging fast into El Rodeo, thanks to the efforts of Principal Kevin Allen, committed teachers and a dedicated PTA. This week, the K-8 school’s generous PTA announced that it would fully fund one-to-one laptop computers for all the students in the school.

In practice this means that soon all kindergartners, 1st and 2nd graders will be given iPads to use; 3rd through 8th graders will be provided with Google Chromebooks. As part of the agreement, the school will be leasing the laptops via three-year contracts.

“We’re all realizing the importance of technology,” Allen explained. “The teachers see it.”

No longer, he added, will his teachers need to share the school’s laptops, which he predicts will greatly enhance

The decals can be labeled for dogs, cats, birds or other small animals, and should be placed in a highly visible location so firefighters can see that a pet needs rescuing. The decals are available at the BHFD Headquarters, 445 N. Rexford Dr. For more information call the BHFD at 310-281-2703.

Joni Smith Is This Year’s Honoree At The Friends Of Robinson Gardens’ Patron Gala On Oct. 1

By Laura Coleman When Joni Smith first met Virginia Robinson, the esteemed “grande dame” of Beverly Hills who together with her husband built the City’s first mansion in the hills above Sunset, even before Beverly Hills had become a City, she was immediately struck by the legendary woman’s incredible spirit.

“She was energetic–one of those people that had real pizzazz,” said Smith, describing the so-called “First Lady of Beverly Hills” whose home she would visit with her husband, Clark. “Virginia was one of Clark’s mother’s best friends.”

On Oct. 1, decades after Smith first walked on the grounds of Beverly Hills’ first estate, she will be feted at the Friends of Robinson Gardens annual patron gala with this year’s Spirit of Beverly Hills award.

A California native, Smith grew up motivated by the knowledge that she could conceivably do almost anything she set her mind to.

“My father used to say, ‘Don’t think you can’t do something you want because you’re a girl,’” she recalled.

“My family encouraged me to do anything I wanted.”

To that end, she soon realized that harnessing her creative capacity in tandem with her philanthropic heart to help

learning opportunities for the students.

From online tutorials to videos to research tools, the computers are integral to helping students learn to effectively navigate within a tech-driven world.

In addition, because the older students will be able to take notes on their Chromebooks, as well as utilize textbooks’ online components, Allen said the one-toone ratio will alleviate heavy backpacks.

Superintendent Steve Kessler, who has been a big proponent of increasing technology in classrooms, underscored that the computers are “a tool in the teachers’ toolbox.”

“Technology is not driving instruction,” he clarified.

“Nothing takes the place of a great teacher,” Allen added.

Human Relations Commission Seeks Nominations for 2016 Embrace Civility Award LA DOLCE VITA–Joni Smith (center) will be presented with the “Spirit of Beverly Hills Award” at this year’s Friends of Robinson Gardens Patron Gala. She is pictured at the legendary estate between immediate past president Adrienne Horwitch and this year’s gala co-chair Ricki Ring. The gala, themed “La Dolce Vita,” will be held Oct. 1.

make great organizations even better was a perfect fit. Smith has chaired or been involved with just about every iconic community organization there is in L.A., including the Music Center’s Blue Ribbon, the Costume Council of LACMA, and the Library Foundation, to name a few.

“I think you should try to raise money to help other people,” she said. “It’s a feeling of self-worth.”

Known by her friends as the woman with impeccable style, Smith said she has always been drawn to fashion.

“You sort of dress up and can be anything you want,” she opined.

But beneath the welldressed facade, resides the soul

of a courageous, inventive woman–one who has soloed as a pilot and climbed to Mt. Everest’s base camp.

Former Friends of Robinson Gardens President Adrienne Horwitch, who helped decide on this year’s gala award recipient, calls her longtime friend honest, straight-forward, dependable and a natural leader. She’s also an ace when it comes to entertaining, Horwitch added.

Of course, at this year’s gala, all Smith needs to do is enjoy the “dolce vita” beneath the twinkling lights strung above the great lawn. After all, it’s the one time a year where the historic estate is transformed to host a party that is truly the talk of the town.

By Victoria Talbot Beverly Hills is seeking submissions for nominations for the 2016 “Embrace Civility Award” to honor outstanding individuals or groups embody civility in the City through actions that create positive, lasting change.

The program was founded in 2010 by the City's Human Relations Commission to promote positive human relations in the community life of Beverly Hills. The commission established the importance of embracing civility and integrated the principles of civility, respect and responsible action into daily business at City Hall and municipal proceedings.

The award celebrates a community member who exemplifies attributes that include: • Acting as a role model for positive civic behavior • Taking a stand in support of respect and responsible

action • Promoting positive neighbor to neighbor relations.

All nominees will be recognized by the Human Relations Commission with the winners to be saluted by the Beverly Hills City Council.

To nominate, download a form at www.beverlyhills.org/ embracecivilityaward or pick one up at City Hall in the Community Services Department, or at Roxbury and La Cienega Park. Nominations can be emailed to humanservices@beverlyhills.org or by mail through Sept. 30.

Beverly Hills Police Nab Two Robbery Suspects Near Beverly Hills High School Campus

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills Police arrested two robbery suspects near Beverly Hills High School last Thursday evening.

The suspects, 26-year-old transient Demartel Williams and 25-year-old Amber Westbrooks of Las Vegas, were taken into custody near the

high school after police responded to a call of a grand theft at a store in the 300 block of North Beverly Drive.

According to callers, the suspects entered the store and grabbed armloads of clothing before fleeing in a white Dodge Charger.

Officers eventually found a

vehicle that matched the description near the area of Beverly Drive and Gregory Way and began a brief pursuit of the suspects, ending when the suspect vehicle collided with a parked car near Gregory Way and Spalding Drive.

Harlem Globetrotters Headline Harkham-GAON Academy’s Open House

By Laura Coleman In anticipation of kicking off its second year on Wednesday, Harkham-GAON Academy welcomed new and current students, as well as the community, to a fun-filled open house this week that included the Harlem Globetrotters.

The year-old Modern Orthodox Jewish high school, a tenant of the Westside Jewish Community Center at the corner of San Vicente and Olympic, was founded in response to the high cost of private education. Annual tuition at the school is $12,000.

“Judaism...is about taking care of people,“ said Beverly Hills resident Efrem Harkham, the president/CEO of Luxe Hotels who provided the seed money for the school to open two years. “Here’s an opportunity to provide excellent secular education through the LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) program and supplement it with traditional Jewish values.”

Much like the message the Globetrotters imparted to the 80 or so children who visited during the Open House–find your passion, be the best you

can be, keep practicing, and be a good person–the s ch o o l emphasizes the value of independence, community and consideration.

Former UN Ambassador Bolton Talks Islam/Western Civilization Coexistence

By Victoria Talbot An international conference of the American Freedom Alliance hosted former United Nations Ambassador John R. Bolton at the Luxe Hotel Sunset to discuss Islam and Western Civilization Sunday.

Bolton told the packed audience that the current problem is “not a question of religion. The worst sufferers are Muslims under ISIS and in Iran.” He said Islamic terrorism is a “civil war within Islam.”

The failed coup in Turkey shows that radical Islam has a variety of forms that are ever harder to detect, making it more difficult to restore order.

He pointed out that strategic threats are beyond radical Islam itself. Bolton said that “other powers are fishing and making alliances of convenience for material support.”

Bolton served as U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, Under Secretary of State for Arms

John Bolton

Control and International Security, and currently serves as a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute on U.S. foreign and national security policy.

Speakers included authors, analysts, military and political commentators including Pete Hoekstra, former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee; Andrew Bostom, M.D., M.S. on Islam; Stephen Coughlin, an intelligence specialist on Islamic Law and

Ideology; Frank Gaffney, founder of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C.; author Nonie Darwish and many more.

Chaired by Karen Siegemund, Ph.D., the American Freedom Alliance is a non-partisan, nonaligned movement which promotes, defends and upholds Western values and ideals and seeks to motivate, educate and unite citizens in support of that cause.

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has seen a surge of growth in its South Bay outpatient care center. Since opening its doors in 2013, the Torrance-based pediatric medical facility has doubled its staff of physicians and increased the number of pediatric specialty offerings, including the addition of clinical specialty care service in hematology-oncology, a new cardiology hire and laboratory services. Patient visits to the South Bay clinic have grown by 32-percent in the past year.

“Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is constantly striving to extend its mission of creating hope and building healthier futures, and expanding our nationally-ranked pediatric specialty care services in the South Bay community is a reflection

of that,” says Lara Khouri, MBA, MPH, senior VP and CHLA chief strategy officer.

T h e n e w e s t addition to the South Bay OutDr. Brandy patient CenHattendorf ter is pediatric heart specialist Dr. Brandy Hattendorf, a pediatric cardiologist with expertise in cardiac imaging to diagnose and treat prenatal, infant and pediatric patients with congenital heart defects or acquired heart disease. In conjunction with Dr. Hattendorf’s arrival, the South Bay clinic has been equipped

with a cardiovascular ultrasound machine to better evaluate, diagnose and treat all forms of heart conditions, in addition to the electrocardiogram, X-ray and laboratory services already offered.

“Dr. Hattendorf brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and passion to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, as well as a familiarity with the South Bay community. We could not be more thrilled to have her on board to serve as the primary pediatric heart specialist,” says Frank Ing, MD, chief of CHLA’s cardiology division and codirector of the hospital’s Heart Institute.

Meanwhile, hematologyoncology is the newest specialty care service to be offered at (see ‘CENTER’ page 14)

Dr. Enayati Uses Regenerative Medicine To Treat Chronic Pain

D

r. Joseph Enayati, medical director at Beverly Hills Advanced Pain & Spine of Beverly Hills’ New Life Regenerative Medicine, often sees patients suffering from excruciating pain who’ve given up hope.

But the inter ventional pain medicine specialist sees hope. Part of the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine, Enayati is taking advantage of cutting-edge technology to end chronic pain.

A fifth-generation doctor, he’s the exclusive Southern California provider of Restore treatment therapy, an injectable with the natural healing properties and cellular components of amniotic fluid, he’s been using with success. “I love it when I see happy patients who feel better and say, ‘I’m able to do so much more now,’” Enayati reports.

Enayati, who grew up in Beverly Hills, and attended BHHS and UC Berkeley, specializes in treating debilitating pain “from head to toe in infants to the elderly,” including back, neck and joint pain, from cancer, fibromyalgia and spor ts injuries, and pain related to trauma.

Conventional treatment methods have included medication management, steroid injections and surgical interventions “that only mask pain and the symptoms return after a few months,” Enayati says.

He doesn’t want his patients “hooked on pain medications or anti-inflammatories and “is not a fan of simple epidurals, repeated cor tisone injections or steroids. “They only temporarily relieve pain and buy time until a patient gets a knee replacement,” Enayati says. “You can only get six shots a year and they have side effects that decrease immune response.”

Restore on the other hand, is derived from amniotic fluid and membrane.

Used for various medical purposes for more than a century, these materials are considered “immune privileged,” meaning they can be introduced into the body with virtually no chance of an immune response and virtually no side effects.

To create Restore, healthy donors are prescreened and tested and

the placenta and amniotic fluid are collected during scheduled C-sections, with no harm to the baby.

The fluid and tissue undergo multiple layers of testing and are processed at the University of Miami Tissue Bank following strict FDA guidelines. “It was important to me to work with an academic clinic,” says Enayati.

The tissue is released for clinical use after more serological testing for antibodies; and Enayati can administer the liquid injectable under ultrasonic guidance as an outpatient procedure in his office.

Just as the amnion (the innermost layer of the placenta) protects the fetus during development, Restore provides the same protection to injured or traumatized tissue. Restore contains collagen substrates, the full range of growth factors, amino acids, carbohydrates, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, fibroblasts, epithelial cells and many other cells.

Over months after the injection, Restore enhances the body’s natural powers to rejuvenate and heal.

When he first consults with patients to evaluate and determine their goals, says Enayati, “it’s nice not to be limited to steroids or injections or a surgical solution. With Restore we have another tool in our toolbox.”

Enayati completed his fellowship training at Mount Sinai’s Manhattan Center for Pain Management and he’s getling ready to give a lecture there on his work in regenerative medicine.

His holistic medical approach, focusing on health rather than disease processes, was formed while studying osteopathic medicine at Midwestern University. His approach to pain care, is conservative therapy, medication optimization, and interventions when warranted.

“Staying active as one ages is ver y impor tant,” Says Enayati. His goal is to keep patients active and able to do whatever they want for as long as they want. “And it’s good to think outside the box to make that happen.”

Douglas Elliman Welcomes Sunny Magner As VP of People And Culture

By Victoria Talbot With an ever-increasing multinational customer base, Douglas Elliman Real Estate has responded by adding regional VP Sunny Magner to manage people and culture. She will be based at the company’s new location, 150 El Camino Dr. in Beverly Hills.

Magner will work alongside corporate leadership to coordinate office expansions, spearheading the recruitment of top residential real estate professionals and integrating all new agents and employees into the Douglas Elliman company culture. She will also oversee an induction program for new agents, highlighting the wide breadth of tools and network support provided by the entity.

Magner earned her MBA with an emphasis in marketing from Chapman University and her bachelor’s degree in business economics from University of California, Santa Barbara. She holds a real estate salesperson license with the California Bureau of Real Estate (CalBRE).

Douglas Elliman continues its West Coast expansion with offices downtown and soon, in Malibu.

The company boasts a roster of established multi-million dollar producers and is ranked among

Sunny Magner

the top four residential real estate companies nationwide. It opened offices two years ago.

The company is uniquely situated to respond to global markets with an alliance with Knight Frank Residential, expanding its reach to an additional 484 offices in 59 countries worldwide.

“I launched my career in real estate in Beverly Hills and have lived here ever since,” said Magner. “I innately understand the area, both as a professional and as a resident, which brings a unique perspective to my day-to-day work. I am proud to strengthen Douglas Elliman’s presence here in the heart of our western operations, and also supply agents with the tools they need to best serve this market as well as the entire region.”

ARROGANT DEVELOPER ROBERT QUIGG – Imagine, if you will, waking up and exiting your front door, getting inside your car to back out and start your day only to find out... that a massive semi truck is blocking your gate. Such is life for one Bel-Air resident, who wishes to remain anonymous. The resident, who said construction trucks were at the property next door to hers, which is being developed by Quintessentially Quigg, a luxury developer run by Robert Quigg. The massive trucks must make their way up the narrow Amapola Way before turning onto this resident’s even tinier street to get to their job. “This truck was parked and the engine was turned off... fully parked and unattended, nobody in [the] truck, no workers nearby,” the resident said of the photo to the left.

It remains to be seen what, if any, penalties will be levied against the developer who thus far, has appeared to be able to operate outside of the arms of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety.

BEVERLY HILLS THEY’RE NOT ALL BAD — The Courier has routinely published illegal and distateful construction signs around Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, but this week we received a submission by a resident who found a sign that appears to get it right.

Reader Ari Bussel took the picture to the left of a project on the 600 block of North Alden Drive in Beverly Hills and called the project “considerate” to neighbors on the street.

California Home Sales Tumble In July California home sales stumbled in July as low inventories and eroding affordability dragged down the housing market, the California Association of Realtors said today.

Closed escrow sales of existing single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 415,840 units in July, according to information collected by CAR. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2016 if sales maintained the July pace throughout the year.

It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales.

The July figure was down 4.1 percent from the revised 433,600 level in June and down 5.1 percent compared with home sales in July 2015. Home sales remained above the 400,000 pace

for the fourth straight month, but sales have declined year over year for the fifth consecutive month.

“Despite the tight housing supply conditions that have persisted over the past few years, home sales have stayed relatively solid,” said CAR President Pat Zicarelli. “Even with a shortage of homes on the market, low rates and strong demand have been the norm.”

The statewide median price remained above the $500,000 mark for the fourth straight month, but there are signs of an expected slowing in price growth, CAR said.

The median price of an existing single-family detached California home slipped 1.8-percent in July to $509,830 from $519,410 in June. July's median price increased 3.9-percent from the revised $490,780 recorded in July 2015.

THE FASHION OF BEVERLY HILLS

‘Cindy Sherman: Imitation Of Life’ At The Broad Probes Notions Of Appearance, Self

By Laura Coleman American photographer Cindy Sherman has been unsettling observers since the 1970’s when she first began depicting herself as the star of her work. Very much the vanguard of tody’s selfie culture, the 120-plus works of Sherman’s now on display at The Broad’s first special exhibition, “Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life”, invites visitors to consider just what they think they are seeing.

Posing amidst various backdrops with her own body and face theatrically altered, often with the aid of prosthetics, Sherman challenges notions of feminity while making the viewer question the limitations of perceived identity. From screen siren and pin-up to socialite and businesswoman, Sherman’s depictions consistently defy stereotypes.

“For over 40 years, Cindy Sherman’s work has moved within the discussion of identity and representation and, in doing so, has maneuvered through various mass-media contexts, among others cinema; its fictional suggestions and typologies have long since become a real ersatz-reality, an imitation of life,” said guest curator Philipp Kaiser.

The exhibition, which runs through Oct. 2, offers an expansive representation of Sherman’s photographs from her four-decade career, spanning from 1975 to works completed this year. The photographs on display are drawn primarily from the Broad collection, which has the world’s largest holdings of her work.

FIGHTING SEX TRAFFICKING– CEO/Founder of Hudson Jeans Peter Kim and actress AnnaLynne McCord (pictured) skydived from 18,000 feet to raise money for Project Rescue to end human sex trafficking. Every year, over a million women and children are sold into this horrific industry where girls as young as 2 years old are being pulled from brothels. The annual skydive event from 18,000 feet (which is 3.4 miles) raised over $221,000 this year. Actress and activist Serinda Swan and her organization 18for18/Project Rescue joined forces with Hudson Jeans and its founder to help raise funds and awareness with the goal of eradicating human sex slavery. Since inception in 2012, 18for18 has raised over $400,000 and reached over 81 million people with its anti sex trafficking awareness campaign. The goal is to make sure that no woman or child ever reaches out for help and cannot receive it due to lack of funding or awareness. Celebrity jumpers included AnnaLynne McCord (90210), Michael Voltaggio (Top Chef), Colin Ferguson (The Vampire Diaries), Ian Bohen (Teen Wolf), Sean Marquette (The Goldbergs), Connor Paolo (Gossip Girl), and Briana Evigan (Step Up).

Banc Of California Stadium, on the site of the old Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, will be the home of Los Angeles' newest MLS franchise, the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC).

Los Angeles Breaks Ground On New Soccer Stadium In Downtown A host of celebrities and politicians gathered in Exposition Park this week to break ground on a $350 million stadium that will be home to the Southland's newest soccer franchise.

The 22,000-seat stadium, on the site of the former Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, will house Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Football Club.

Among the team's owners who attended the event were Earvin “Magic” Johnson, actor Will Ferrell, motivational speaker Tony Robbins, and

Beverly Hills High School Normans Football Team Kicks Off New Season Tonight At Oak Park

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills High football team kicks off its new regime under first-year head coach Steve Geanakos tonight in a 7 p.m. tilt at Oak Park.

Geanakos, a longtime assistant coach at BHHS, takes the reins after the dismissal of former coach Charles Stansbury.

Geanakos said there’s a palpable enthusiasm around the program, with the number

of players up big from last season, but stressed that many are first-year players and that fans should expect some growing pains.

“We’ve had a tremendous turnout,” Geanakos said. “The reception has been fantastic, the kids are excited and learning quickly. We’ve got a lot of kids who have never played varsity football before, but they’re working really hard and picking things up quickly.”

Oak Park runs a no-huddle spread offense that should present an interesting first test for a young, developing BHHS team.

Geanakos said the team is counting on veteran leadership from players like Harrison Van Pelt, Alex Dennis, Patrick Levy, Charlie Green, Greg Carter and Michael Revah.

Junior Jeremiah Klapper gets the nod for the Normans at quarterback.

Janet Roston Directs And Choreographs Novel Take On Life Of Famed Diarist Anais Nin

The life of Anais Nin, the renowned diarist who broke boundaries writing about sex, passion and creativity, and who had an intense affair with Henry Miller (Tropic Of Cancer), has long held fascination for writers and filmmakers.

Now resident and choreographer Janet Roston (BHHS Dance Company artistic director for 24 years) and composer/lyricist Cindy Shapiro have created their own way to tell her story and a new term in the process with their Anais—A Dance Opera. The new production opens tomorrow and will run through Sunday, Sept. 18 at the Greenway Court Theatre, 544 N. Fairfax Ave. “No one’s ever done’s something like this before,” says Roston.

Shapiro and Roston’s show has a single vocalist representing “Eternal Anais,” singing the show “with a hand mic like a rock star,” against projections of excerpts from her dairies and groundbreaking erotica, plus the lyrics.

Six dancers play Nin, Miller, Nin’s husband Hugh Parker Guilery, plus ensemble roles in the story which took her from a naive young housewife into Paris café society where she emerged as an important literary figure in the ‘30s, through her life in the U.S. during and after WWII, to her death and its aftermath in the ‘70s.

“I feel like her story, about the empowerment of women, still resonates today,” says Roston. “It has a big appeal for a Janet Roston wide age group. Women in my generation all read her.”

The journey of the production began when Roston’s manager Victoria Morris introduced the two women. “She thought we would be likeminded,” Roston says. “Cindy was a ‘90s rocker so I asked her to give me every piece of music she’d ever written.”

A piece called Henry got Roston’s attention.

When she asked if it was about Nin and Miller and got a positive response, Roston was intrigued.

“I knew that would make a good story and theme.

And we developed the whole show.”

With the support of the Anais Nin Trust, the show took the writers to UCLA, which houses her diaries and papers. “They brought out her original diaries and it was amazing and we were so reverent. It was interesting to see how her writing start-

ed out perfectly in line and all the same color and then got bigger and more erratic with changes in color.” The diary entry with the line, “I’ve met Henry Miller,” graces the show’s poster.

Shapiro, whose history includes being a cantor at Wilshire Boulevard Temple, has created a score, Roston says, encompassing alternative rock, “with the sweeping feel of Tori Amos or Kate Bush, a ‘20s style Charleston for when newly married Nin was shocked by Parisian society, and Jean “Django” Reinhardt-style gypsy jazz to evoke the café society days when Nin hobnobbed with Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali.

Her choreography nods to the styles of story’s periods and even includes a Folies Bergére number.

“I think people are going to enjoy the music and dance,” says Roston. “The show is big, luscious, romantic and sexy.”

Before the Sept. 10 performance, from 6:307:30 p.m., a panel of Nin scholars, and some who new her, will discuss the author.

Performances will be at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 7 p.m. Sunday. For tickets and more information, visit www.greenwaycourttheatre.org/anais/—Steve Simmons

KCET’s Zavala Hosts Video Series Explaining Ballot Measures, Hammond To Host Classic Film Series To help voters understand the complex propositions on California’s ballot, KCETLink is running a series of one-minute explanations for each of the 17 ballot measures, Props in a Minute.

KCETLink’s VP of Public Affairs and Anchor Val Zavala will run voters through the key points of each proposition in 60 seconds, using graphics and easy-to-understand language.

Each one-minute video concludes with what a “yes” or “no” vote will mean.

November propositions deal with a range of issues including the death penalty, prescription drug prices, banning plastic bags, taxes for education and legalizing marijuana.

Each week through Nov. 8, two explainers will rollout

online on both www.linktv.org/ballotbrief and www.kcet.org/ballotbrief as well as on-air on KCET. • Deadline Hollywood’s Chief Film Critic and host of The KCET Cinema Series, Pete Hammond will host KCET Must See Movies celebrating some of the film classics created over the last century.

First up for Hammond will be a trio of Academy Award Best Picture winners all linked to WWII. Screenings at 9 p.m., Fridays include.: Patton (Sept.

2), From Here To Eternity (Sept.

9) and The Bridge On The River Kwai (Sept. 16). Encores will air at 4 p.m., Saturdays.

• The independent public television station is also continue to air the award-winning BBC nature/wildlife documen-

tary Wild Africa at 9 p.m.

Tuesdays.

Narrated by Fergal Keane, the series focuses on the animal and plant life of a particular environment—mountains, savannah, deserts, coasts and jungles—and shows how each has adapted or modified its behavior to survive that ecosystem.

Jungle, airing Aug. 30, uses aerial photography and wildlife footage to show that at the continent’s heart is a vast tropical rainforest—a jungle, stretching for five and a half thousand kilometers. Over the millennia, rivers have snaked and weaved and grasslands have been swallowed and reborn in this forest that is not so permanent.

WANDA SEIR

Santa Monica Boulevard in less than a quarter mile.

Nearly every speaker that appeared before the Planning Commission had a financial interest in the outcome.

One issue commissioners did not seem to take seriously was the question of whether a Supplemental EIR is adequate.

The project was approved in 2008 for two residential buildings. The proposed project changes out 42 condominiums for 134 hotel rooms and adds 16,057 square feet of restaurant/lounge/bars. It also adds 1,000 sf of outdoor restaurant space, and 7,942 square feet of ballroom and meeting rooms, which changes the project from a residential project to a residential plus commercial project with an intensification of usage.

The construction is expected to last 48 months.

“The proposed project is a substantially different project from the approved project...

Not only has the project changed, but the circum-

CHLA (Continued from page 5)

The program’s emphasis on a comprehensive continuum of care model is underscored by the recent recruitment of pediatric epilepsy expert Douglas Nordli Jr., MD, chief of the Division of Neurology, and codirector of the Neurosciences Institute at CHLA with Mark D. Krieger, MD – Billy and Audrey Wilder Chair of the Division of Neurosurgery. By combining services and expertise from

stances surrounding the project have changed substantially… an entirely new EIR is required,” said attorney John Peterson for the Belvedere Law Group.

“We hope that the Planning Commission and City Council process will address the Wanda project’s serious flaws in traffic, circulation, inadequate entryways and the loading dock. If left unaddressed, the project’s traffic and circulation plan will severely impede access for residents to and from Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Boulevard and Merv Griffin Way and significantly impact the operations of the Beverly Hilton,” said Hilton spokesperson Marie Garvey.

“According to the parking demand study by Linscott Law & Greenspan (LLG), the garage has 110 excess parking spaces at its greatest period of demand,” said Deputy General Manager for Wanda Beverly Hills Properties, LLC, Rohan a`Beckett. “The City’s independent traffic consultant, Fehr & Peers provided the traffic and parking study for the supplemental EIR. There is no one

who knows the traffic issues around the two sites better than they do and they concluded that there were no significant traffic impacts from our project.

Their findings echoed the findings by our own traffic consultant, LLG.” Also of concern is parking.

The hotel motor court, with entries on Santa Monica Boulevard and Merv Griffin Way, will have room for 22 regular sized vehicles to stack.

There are only 40 employee parking spaces, and when asked, a`Beckett said that the company expected their employees to arrive by means other than private transportation.

Other concerns include nearly tripling the excavation from 85,000 cubic yards to 260,000 cubic yards.

A haul route that has not been approved by the City of Los Angeles would travel from Santa Monica Blvd. to Sepulveda Blvd. with truck parking on Sepulveda.

The next meeting to discuss the SEIR will be on the evening of Monday, Sept. 19.

Neurology, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Neuro-psychology, Neuro-Radiology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics and Social Work, best practices and care are assured in the epileptic care of our young patients.

CHLA, moreover, is currently ranked among the top children’s hospitals in the nation for neurology and neurosurgery care in the 2016-17 U.S. News & World Report Best Children's Hospitals survey.

“This distinguished recognition is one of the many examples of what is amazing about Children’s Hospital Los Angeles,” Nordli says. “Over the course of the last year, this multi-disciplinary team led by Dr. Holder, was able to assemble a high-quality program and receive the highest level accreditation. This is a true testament to the great work and dedication by our staff at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.”

Beverly Hills Bike Smart Program Debuts Saturday At Hawthorne

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills Police Department and the Department of Community Services will kick-off the new Bike Smart program tomorrow morning at Hawthorne Elementary School, 624 Rexford Dr. Bike Smart will be held every Saturday from 9-10:30 a.m. at the school to teach bike safety for kids 3-8 years of age who already know how to ride a bike. It will concentrate on safety procedures and bike-riding practice in a safe environment.

Saturday’s kick off event with the police and communi-

ty service staff features games and activities, obstacle courses, refreshments and giveaways. Kids should bring their own bikes and must wear a helmet.

There will be a recreational specialist at the Bike Smart events from the Community Services Department.

A parent or guardian must sign a waiver that will be collected at the site.

For more information call 310-285-6810 or visit the program’s website at www.beverlyhills.org/bikesmart.

helped craft the language after identifying that board bylaw, which he said had a kernel of the clarity now present.

Kessler, who predicted that the bylaw will enable better communication between the superintendent and the board, said he was partly motivat-

JIANLIN (Continued from page 1)

Treasurer John Chiang.

Now, Mirisch has appointed himself and Councilmember Lili Bosse to be the liaisons for the City’s Development Agreement with the organization as part of the supplemental 9900 Wilshire Specific Plan.

A development agreement is a contract between a municipality and a property owner/developer, through which the municipality agrees to freeze the existing zoning regulations in exchange for public benefits.

Benefits can include such elements as payments, taxes, access, school funds, infrastructure work, traffic and parking concessions in exchange for the infringements on the public.

Is this a potential conflict of interest for Mirisch, who has opposed the Hilton since 2008 and recently derided them on blogs, at his installation, at the Municipal League annual meeting and in speeches at individual synagogues. [Editors Note: Is Mirisch looking for a Hollywood job?]

In addition, Mirisch is up for reelection in March, facing what is shaping up to be a crowded race for two seats on the City Council.

In Chicago, where Wanda is building the Vista Tower, the pattern is similar. Noted Chicago architect Jeanne Gang is building the third tallest building in the city, at 1,186 feet tall. The project is backed by the Wanda Group and the local Magellan Development Group. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel threw his considerable political weight behind the venture and earned hefty campaign donations for his trouble.

Wang Jianlin is the wealthiest man in China, worth an estimated $33.3 billion. He is China’s largest real estate developer and the world’s largest movie theater operator.

Mirisch, who founded the Sunshine Task Force on a platform of transparency in City government, is himself no longer behaving transparently.

ed to revise the policy in light of newcomer board member Isabel Hacker’s commitment to adhering to directives set forth from the California School Boards Association (CSBA).

Just before Tuesday’s vote, the board discussed moving forward with revising Board Bylaw 9400, which details self evaluations that comply to CSBA recommendations.

Before, during and after the trip, the Courier made repeated requests for the Mayor’s personal itinerary on the trip. Following a California Public Records Act request, City staff produced a tour group itinerary for the trip, absent specifics.

City staff and staff from the Beverly Hills Conference and Visitors Bureau reported that they were not involved in the plans. Staff denied any specific knowledge of the Mayor’s personal itinerary.

It is unclear why the mayor of Beverly Hills would reveal the visit to Variety, but Mirisch is connected to the industry through previous employment and distinguished family ties, though he has not been employed in the industry for some time.

Jianlin made his intentions to be a significant player in Hollywood clear, announcing to Reuters last week that he intends to purchase one of the “big six” studios – Universal Pictures, Colombia (Sony), Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.

Jianlin famously insulted Disney just before the opening of the new Shanghai Disneyland.

“One tiger is no match for a pack of wolves,” Jianlin was quoted as saying in an appearance on Chinese television.

Asked if Mirisch had any comment about the disclosure in the Variety, he responded: “Yes, it's in the article.”

Asked why he did not disclose his meeting at the City Council meeting, Mirisch responded: “That was a brief summary of the trip and the courtesy visit with Wanda was neither the purpose nor focus of the China trip; it was a tack-on. The time for reporting on ex parte communications, as all councilmembers are supposed to do (from those both in favor and opposed to the project), will be when the Wanda project eventually comes before us.”

It is also known that Mirisch himself requested the meeting before his departure.

BEVERLY HILLS classroom last year and spoke to students, now in their senior year, about the importance of the test. “We explained its affect on Beverly Hills High, our community and how colleges look at us.”

Although the numbers at the four K8 schools weren’t as markedly improved as at the high school, across the board (with the exception of English at Beverly Vista and math at Horace Mann), all students tested, in aggregate from 3rd through 8th grade, improved year over year in both English and math. Most remarkable on the K-8 level was El Rodeo, which jumped 10 points this year to 82-percent of students testing proficient or better in English.

“It all comes down to strong teams and great leadership,” Kessler said.

TEST SCORES (Continued from page 1)

Tedford for the dramatic rise in scores.

He also credited his supportive PTA for purchasing 180 computers and the school district with purchasing 220 computers so students were able to take the standardized tests in their classrooms on familiar computers.

Getting the devices in the hands of students so that they could reflect what they’ve been taught was part of the key to success, opined Superintendent Steve Kessler. The other part of that equation, he said, was having the strong leadership of Principal Jackson at the high school.

“Everybody wanted to do well,” said Jackson, who went into every 11th grade

Frances Allen Desert Roundup After multiple lawsuits–two of which are still ongoing–dozens of raucous city council meetings over a seemingly like-number of years and the possibility of future criminal action, the new Palm Springs is starting to cast off its construction hoardings and make its long-awaited debut.

The long gone Desert Fashion Plaza once was the heart of downtown Palm Springs before it became the focal site of a $400 million, 15-acreplus redevelopment project which developers hope will have its first functioning tenant for the Labor Day weekend. That’s when West Elm, a new 8,500-square-foot furniture and hardware store, (part of the Williams Sonoma chain), is set to open for business. Located on Palm Canyon Drive adjacent to the Hyatt Palm Springs, the West Elm site will also serve as the anchor tenant for a threestory, mixed-use building with retail space on the first floor, offices on the second floor and 13 residential lofts on the third. Other announced tenants are a juice bar, a coffee house and a restaurant. No other retailer has been announced, but speculation is on British retailer H&M. The redevelopment project also contains Palm Springs’ tallest building, a Kempton hotel.

Scheduled to open in the spring of 2017, the Kempton raises six stories giving roof-top guests 360-degree views of the area, plus two bars, a meeting space and small kitchen.

Another Palm Springs-style high-rise, the completion of six-story Virgin Hotel, has been delayed by legal issues.

The redevelopment project represents the culmination of negotiations between the city and private developer, Wessman Development. ****** “Da Plane, da plane,” was a popular cry in October each year as the Flying Aviation and Expo held its convention in Palm Springs.

What made this cry unique was that after the planes of all sizes and shapes landed at the airport, they formed a parade that, using appropriately cleared city streets, “drove” to the Palm Springs Convention Center, and drove back to the airport at the end of the expo.

This year the Aviation Expo will take place Oct. 20 to 22, but there will be no parade due to a conflict with the accommodation needs of the Desert Trip music festival, held one week before.”

Frank Sinatra’s invitation to “Come fly with me” will have to wait until next year. ****** Often, one overlooked effect of being homeless is what to do with their pets. Dr. Shayda Ahkami, director of the Palm Springs Animal Center, had an idea. She applied for and received a grant to fund a program that will provide care for the animal companions of the homeless.

“We have some really sad cases that have come through our doors where guardians of the pets have walked miles to get the pet to the center,” Ahkami said.

The program will work with Arlene Rosenthal’s Well in the Desert, a Palm Springs organization that helps the homeless, and will provide pets with vaccines, microchip, antibiotics, spays and neuter.

According to Ahkami: “For the homeless, many times this is their only companion and we really need to be mindful of that and take care of people and their pets.”

PUBLIC NOTICES ORDINANCE NO. 16-O-2706 AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS REGULATING LANDFORM ALTERATIONS OF CERTAIN LOTS IN THE HILLSIDE AREA OF THE CITY AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF

ects might acquire vested rights prior to the effective date of the ordinance and therefore might frustrate the ultimate standards that may be adopted. The City Council wishes to both adopt an interim ordinance that will take effect immediately and help protect the status quo, and a permanent ordinance that will remain in effect while the standards are further studied.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 2.

landform alterations in the Hillside Area of the City involving excavation and export of significant amounts of earth material on lots adjacent to and accessed by winding, narrow residential streets would result in that threat to the public health, safety or welfare.

As described in Section 1 above, currently unregulated landform alterations on lots adjacent to and accessed by winding, narrow residential streets could threaten the health, safety, and welfare of the community through the imposition of inappropriate constructionrelated impacts including, heightened noise, traffic, and parking impacts resulting from truck hauling activities on winding, narrow residential streets as evidenced by the fatal accidents experienced in the City. Further, the more intense development more recently experienced in the City can result in inappropriate construction related impacts including the impacts set forth above.

Allowing the planning commission to review each project for its construction-related impacts would mitigate these impacts to an acceptable level. To preserve the public health, safety and welfare, the City Council finds that it is necessary that this ordinance take effect immediately to prevent such harm.

Sectin 4. General Plan.

The Ordinance is consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan. General Plan Policy Land Use 1.1 “Scale of the City” calls for regeneration of the City within the general framework of the existing scale. Land Use Policy 2.3 “Hillside Development” calls for maintaining the natural landforms that define the City and requiring that development on hillsides and in canyon areas be located, designed, and scaled to respect the natural topography and landscape. Land Use Policy 5.1 “Neighborhood Conservation” calls for maintaining the density, character, and quality of the City’s residential neighborhoods. Land Use Policy 6.1 “Neighborhood Identity” calls for maintaining the characteristics that define the City’s singlefamily neighborhoods.

Open Space Policy 1.1 “Resource Preservation” encourages new development on hillsides to preserve natural land formations.

From The Publisher

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS Guest Editorial by Rabbi Jerry Cutler A Salute To The Late Arthur Hiller Of Beverly Hills The Hospital…..Americanization of Emily… …The Out Of Towners…..Silver Streak….See No Evil Hear No Evil…..The In-Laws…..The Man In The Glass Booth……Love Story…..and then President of the Director’s Guild…..President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Many years ago, I wrote a story about Arthur Hiller in a national Jewish periodical and called him “a mensch.” His sister Goldie called from their native Canada tell him that of all the praise he ever had received, she was most proud of the fact that he was called “a mensch” Shamefully, I have yet to see his mega-hit movie Love Story. I’m living my own love story.

An important actor in mine is Arthur Hiller, who co-officiated at my daughter Daniella’s wedding in Freddie Fields back yard.

Arthur and Gwen were my congregants from the inception of my temple, over 40 years ago. Our first High Holiday service was held at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Following the service, I asked for a few volunteers to break down the Holy Ark, the Torah tables, the chairs, the taking up of the rug….etc. The first one up on stage, his jacket off, his shirt sleeves rolled up wa,–Arthur Hiller.

One of the most distinguished and renowned directors in the world was helping this rabbi from Brooklyn shlep the ark, chairs, the rug off the stage on to the awaiting truck. I loved Arthur Hiller.

Arthur never said “no” to a request helping our temple or any humanitarian cause. We asked if he would direct a stage presentation of fellow Canadian Ted Allan’s Lies My Father Told Me. He did. Arthur asked Martin Landau, Jack Klugman and Georgia Brown to appear. They did.

We asked him to direct a play for charity called False Witness. He did. He asked Mark Rydell, Jeffrey Tambor, Valerie Harper, George Segal, Ed Ames and Richard Kind to appear.

They did.

When the Chabad House burned down in 1980, Rabbi Cunin asked if he would direct a Yiddish classic called Bontche Shveig. He did.

Arthur reached out to Leonard Nimoy and Howard Morris to appear. They did.

One day, Arthur and I were asked to join a panel in a theatre in South LA. activist Ted Hayes put together about Hollywood. At the time I was doing movie reviews on KABC and we thought it might be fun.

The theatre was packed and at first everyone was very cordial with questions until some guy in the back accused Arthur and Hollywood of not using black actors in their productions.

Arthur was very calm in his response telling him that he was wrong and that barriers were being broken every day stating that Richard Pryor starred in two movies he had directed.

When the evening concluded, Arthur and I were walking to his car when the two of us found ourselves surrounded by the accuser and his friends.The guy started in again. The guy was massive, at least 6’5” and Arthur about 5’ 5” (maybe 5’6”). Arthur turned and started to walk to his car with me along side.

The big guy kept on harassing Arthur, who stopped and started walking towards the guy. I begged Arthur to get into the car and leave. He continued to walk with me tugging at his jacket pleading with him to turn around.

He kept walking up to his nemesis and standing on his tip toes not backing down an inch. It looked like a confrontation of Biblical proportions. David against Goliath. I saw my life flash before me. The big guy just stared down at Arthur. Arthur never blinked. He just stared.

The big guy realizing that he wasn’t going to win finally gave in to this “David” standing before him. He extended his open hand and they shook. But, not as hard as I was shaking.

On the way home Arthur drove quietly. I told him that I was very impressed that he didn’t back down. “The guy had a point,” he admitted, and then told me of a mission he had as a navigator for the RAF. “We bombed the hell out of the Nazis and were heading back to our base and realized the plane had been hit.” He said that a propeller had been disabled and the plane was on fire. Arthur navigated the plane safely as it screeched to a stop on the airfield engulfed, in flames. Everyone got out safely.

He turned to me and said, “Did you think I was going to back down and let that big guy get the better of me back there?” Arthur Hiller, my Jewish hero who went to Russia and smuggled in Jewish books to the Refuseniks under the penalty of imprisonment. The same Arthur Hiller who led a Jewish protest and spilled out expensive French wine on to the streets of Beverly Hills as a protest when France freed a convicted Arab terrorist from prison.

Throughout the years we met many times, of late, to Sid Caesar’s house for Friday might and Passover dinners. At this time, Arthur’s eyes and hearing were failing. I thought God was playing a cruel joke on Arthur by slowly taking away his eyesight. One of the most decorated directors in the world and he could no longer see objects clearly. He told my wife and me of the many times he met major stars and talked to them at length and when he finished, he hadn’t the foggiest idea who he had been speaking to. He would laugh heartily after telling us the story.

We loved listening to his stories – some selfeffacing, some funny and some profoundly moving. There were stories about Sophia Loren, Al Pacino, George C. Scott, Clint Eastwood, Julie Andrews, James Garner, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Paddy Chayefsky, Neil Simon. And every story he told, his adoring wife of 68 years always by his side would listen, laugh and appreciate it as if she heard it for the first time. Never had there ever been a more loving relationship between two people. Their children Henryk and Erica will attest to that. And so will anyone else who ever had the pleasure of being with them.

It was said that Arthur died of natural causes. Not so. He died of a broken heart. When Gwen died less than two months ago, you just knew that Arthur was going to visit her soon after. “Heaven Could not Wait” after all, and neither could Arthur. Rest In Peace my friend.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 26). In the past you've felt you were doing what was necessary for survival, but this year is all about thriving. You'll live in lifted emotion and higher thought. Because of the love and support of your inner circle, a stimulating group of colleagues and a tranquil domestic environment, you can take chances and fly. Cancer and Gemini adore you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be reminded how you and the others in your group are united in a common purpose. The energetic bond that holds the group together may be invisible, but it's real, it's tangible, and it's growing stronger all of the time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Let the others know your process. Tell them how you got to this point. Let them know what you gained and what it cost you. Your journey will educate, inform and help others. You'll also be better appreciated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even though you can be as constant as the tide, it's important that you exercise your right to be unpredictable, as that's exciting for all. Bonus: This will keep your loved ones from taking you for granted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As it is in the fairytales, your wishes are magic seeds. Unlike the fairytales, they are not limited to three. So don't worry so much about wishing the right wish. Just plant them -- preferably close by, so can watch them grow!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No matter what you choose, there are some people your choice will displease. Don't waste time defending your choices. As long as you do right by your own code, good will come of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You've been so focused on taking care of others that you've neglected your main responsibility in life -- which is, of course, taking care of yourself. Do what makes your heart and body feel whole and happy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Struggling for your next dollar is not your favorite way to spend the hours. On the other hand, you love to spend time and energy on a cause that helps others, and if you happen to make money in the process, life is good.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Most changes don't happen overnight, and the larger ones can take especially long to unfold. When the change takes hold, it will seem like it happened all at once, but it will have been years in the making.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You are committing daily acts of selfsabotage. However minor the destructive habit may be, the numbers will work against you over time. This is a bigger deal than it seems. Make your life better: Cut it out now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A bitter person looks at the bad situation and says: “It always happens like this.” A wise person decides to stop getting into the situations that tend to happen “like this.”

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Chaos is inherently dangerous. The accompanying thrill is addictive. Break your addiction to lowgrade, daily chaos by accepting the part of yourself that's hiding behind this diversion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When people are brave enough to share their weird, uncensored thoughts with you, it's a major compliment. They trust you not to judge. They value your insight. They consider your love a safe haven, which it is.
