September 6, 2013

By Bill Arp The gripe that Beverly Hills has nothing to do after dark is now wrong. Headliner entertainment is a regular happening at the beautifully-refurbished Saban Theater (ex-Fox Wilshire). The new Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts opens in October. The City may even boast a jazz club or two.

Thus ends the entertainment drought.

Last Saturday’s appearance by the Grammy Award-winning 5th Dimension filled nearly all 1,800 seats at the Saban. With 14 gold records, 6 platinum records and 6 Grammy Awards, they had the audience roaring on its feet at the end. The gold and platinum record parade continues tonight when John Hiatt performs (doors open at 9 p.m.) followed Saturday by Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra. Ottmar has been nominated five-times for a Grammy (see ‘5TH DIMENSION,’ page 9)

Exclusive Womens’ Wear Boutique Gratus Debuts In Beverly Hills

By Olivia Krevoy Gratus, a new and exciting one-stop shopping boutique for women, opened Monday at 427 N. Canon Dr. Designed with an eye toward giving customers a level of personal attention beyond what typical stores offer, owner Merideth Kaplan told The Courier the innovative shopping experience is geared toward helping women “be their best selves.”

“I’ve always loved fashion and wanted to create an inviting place that felt like walking into your best friend’s closet,” she said. “We’ll always go above and beyond for our customers. If we don’t have it, we’ll find it.”

Gratus carries a variety of expertly picked inventory including ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, and handbags.

Among the coveted labels showcased are Dosa, Gregory Parkinson, Dsquared, Band of Outsiders, Marni, Calvin Rucker, and Suno, as well as brands exclusively available to the store.

A major component of the innovative shopping experience at Gratus is the level of involvement the store offers customers by inviting them to be styled, and not to simply shop.

In-home closet consultation with a stylist will be available upon request and will evaluate core items as well as those items best discarded. An-

other original aspect of the store is an accessible database will be available which allows all purchases to be photographed, chronicled and stored for future purposes. This database informs future buys and aids Gratus’ personal stylists to emphasize wardrobebuilding instead of isolated

purchases.

By hosting numerous events such as private shopping events, trunk shows, and designer appearances Kaplan hopes that the store will be a place to socialize and connect with the other customers. Gratus provides complimentary alterations with a purchase and

regularly offer stheir customers food and drinks. In addition, the boutique will be open by appointment during off hours, and will send an array of looks to a customer’s home or office on consignment, and even gather pieces from other stores in order to complete a look.

Beauty Profile - Napoleon Perdis: Who Knew A Snail Held The Secret To Beautiful Skin - This Australian Cosmetic Company Does.

By Aisling McDonough Every woman - those two words carry a lot of punch, a lot of power, and it's that wisdom which makes Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics stand out.

Napoleon's philosophy focuses on the individual woman whether a high profile actress, socialite, multi-tasking mother or the quintessential college student, Napoleon has a product to satisfy each and every woman's needs. Quite an impressive statement for a man who runs a company with a small, intimate group of family and friends.

During a recent interview at the launch of his latest product line, Napoleon spoke about his introduction to the world of make up at the age of 14. “My mother loved to wear make-up and she'd commandeer the bathroom for hours to get her application just right. I was fascinated. She always came out looking so glamorous.”

As native of the western suburbs of Sydney Australia, Napoleon attended a local university and met his wife and business partner Soula-Marie.

Together they began experimenting with a product line and soon after, his bother Emanuel joined the team. The three became equal partners, and the Napoleon Perdis Cosmetic Company became a reality. “We quickly became known in Australia not only for our product line, but for our Perdis Makeup Academy. Education is everything when it comes to make-up and we were the first to establish a formal school for make-up application and product education.”

The highlight of the new Nude Bar collection is the much talked about Auto Pilot BBB Cream; triple B for Beauty, Boosting, Balm and it's surprising ingredient - snail mucus.

Snail mucus was said to have been a part of Cleopatra's

Napoleon Perdis and Miranda Kerr

beauty routine because it boosts anti-aging agents as well as soften the skin. “The snail naturally shreds its skin everyday as it goes through terrain, and the mucus is what helps rebuild its skin,” said Napoleon.

The snail has an organic diet, so naturally the mucus is full of wonderful moisture boosting nutrients and antioxidants, which allow for complete skin repair and superior moisture enhancement, and

depending on one's skin sensitivity, Napoleon recommends adding their primer for “an extra push.”

Napoleon has been a favorite make-up artist to many beautiful actresses and models like Miranda Kerr, Goldie Hawn and Angelica Huston, but delights most when he sees a woman who is not in the spot light come into his studio for a makeover. “I want to enhance every woman's natural beauty–she's the true face to our brand.”

Napoleon Nude Bar Collection is available at Napoleon Perdis concept stores and Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills.

Keller Williams Beverly Hills Boasts Record-Breaking Deal For Apartment Sale

RECORD BREAKING—The off-market $8.81 million sale of the Lanshire House set a record-breaking price according to Keller Williams Beverly Hills, which represented both the buyer and seller of the Westside apartment building.

By Laura Coleman In what is being called a “recordbreaking” deal, Keller Williams Beverly Hills this week closed an $8.81 million sale for an off-market West L.A. Class 'A' apartment building that averaged out to $326,000 per unit. The buyer, Beverly Hills-based Palm Heights LLC, plans to upgrade the fully occupied 27-unit upscale “Lanshire House” apartment complex, which is located at 3325 Canfield Ave. “Nothing in recent history compares,” said Keller Williams Beverly Hills Commercial Director and Beverly Hills resident Michael Balson, who represented Redwood Residential Investments LLP in the sale. In 2008, Balson

represented Redwood in purchasing the newly built property for $8.2 million.

“No rent-control properties are few and far between, let alone this size of building in this area.”

The 29,709-square-foot property with 41 assigned subterranean parking spaces on a 16,000-square-foot lot boasts a plethora of community amenities for residents including a sun deck, fitness center, courtyard and elevator.

Buyer's agent Sami Dinar of Keller Williams Commercial Beverly Hills said Palm Heights planned to increase revenue once it repositions the property as an upscale boutique community in line with newer properties in the fashionable Westside location.

California Home Sales And Prices Still Rising, California Realtors Assoc. Finds California’s housing market bounced back after a slight dip in June, according to the California Association of Realtors, which found small rises in sales and prices overall across the state.

“The spike in interest rates in June prompted home buyers to delay escrow closings in hopes that rates would fall back,” said C.A.R. President Don Faught. “As buyers recognized rates had stabilized, they moved forward to

close escrow, which lifted July’s sales from both the previous month and year.”

The statewide median price of an existing, single-family detached home inched up 1.2 percent from June’s median price of $428,620 to $433,760 in July.

C.A.R. Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young said prices would continue rising, but at a less accelerated pace.

And since giving back to the community has been one of Chin Chin's main priorities through the years, the restaurants will also be helping the men and women in red and blue by donating weekly catering orders to the fire and police departments in the cities where it has locations.

Since the local police and fire departments play a huge role in the community, Chin Chin decided to

C

thank them by providing lunch for the BH departments once a week through September.

“The Beverly Hills Police Officers Association greatly appreciates the generosity we have received from Chin Chin,” said Sgt. Michael Publicker, president of the Beverly Hills Police Officer's Association.

“We are fortunate to work in a city where businesses support their local law enforcement. We truly consider it a privilege and honor to serve the city of Beverly Hills.”

To make the years to come even more successful, Chin Chin continues to take its fare, service and atmosphere to a new level. Diners are invited to come in and try Chin Chin's new menu, with newly added gluten-free options. They always accommodated requests, but they became so frequent the chain has formally added the items to its menu.

Also Chin Chin's youngest guests can now enjoy a new children's menu and drawing competition. Children will get crayons and the child who turns in the best drawing of the month will win a prize and see his or her work displayed in the restaurant.

Don’t feel like going out? With Chin Chin's quick and easy delivery program, diners will be savoring a delicious Chinese feast in no time.

Hiring more drivers (now with new uniforms) has significantly cut down on wait times.

Chin Chin is at 206 S. Beverly Dr., open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily. For more information, call 310-248-5252 of visit www.chinchin.com

SABAN (Continued from page 1)

Among the special guests to take part in next week's High Holy Day services will be the inclusion of Israeli Flying Aid founder Gal Lusky, who is flying in direct from the war-torn Syrian and Jordanian border at the behest of Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts founder Rabbi David Baron. Lusky, who provides lifesaving aid to refugee children, is among four special guests that will participate in the holy services that represent the end of a 10day period of repentance and introspection, which began Wednesday with the start of the 5,774 Jewish New Year.

“Their stories of acts of humane kindness, courageous deeds and of hope and determi-

nation in the face of oppression are inspirational messages we all need to hear,” Baron said.

Other special guests include: Curt Lowens, an actor, Holocaust survivor and resistance member who made his Broadway debut in Stalag 17 as an S.S. guard; Steven Emerson, executive director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism; and Debra Lynn Fine, a business executive who distracted a gunman who shot her multiple times in a mass shooting at Santa Monica College on June 7, saving the life of another woman.

Services will take place at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, located at 8440 Wilshire Blvd. Tickets for the services begin at a tax-deductible donation of $350. For more information visit www.templeofthearts.org.

TRIBUTE (Continued from page 1)

attacks on Wednesday at its annual 9/11 tribute ceremony.

This year’s event will again be held in front of the Beverly Hills Fire headquarters at 445 N. Rexford Dr. The free ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. with a flag lowering and a pledge by Mayor John Mirisch.

The L.A. Philharmonic Lawyers will perform at 7:30.

This will mark the first year that the 9/11 tribute ceremony has included a concert.

“We wanted to bring the community together with a beautiful concert with patriotic music,” said FTA Events President Judie Fenton said.

Fenton said this would

likely be the City’s formal 9/11 tribute ceremony for the next several years. She said the plan going forward is likely to hold an event once every five years or so. 2017 would mark the 15year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Even if the evening event doesn’t continue annually, Fenton said the Beverly Hills Fire Department will still continue its annual tribute each Sept. 11 morning.

Every Sept. 11, at the exact time of the attacks, the BHFD rings a bell several times to pay tribute to those who died in the attacks and salutes the American flag.

with its loud music, overflowing crowds and noise that extends into all hours of the evening.

In August, the Planning Commission tentatively slapped several restrictions on the establishment which would allow it to remain open, but only under several conditions.

The Phoenix had been found by City staff to be in violation of several City codes. It had violated noise ordinances, fire code violations, overcrowding, having obstructed exit signs, “facilitating” indoor smoking and housing various electrical hazards.

The commission decided that if The Phoenix was to remain open, it would have a Sunday-Thursday closing time of 11 p.m., with no patrons accepted after 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday’s closing time would be 1 a.m.

Only 42 patrons will be allowed to sit or stand in the outdoor dining area at any one time. Free off-site parking must be provided for employees and neighbors must be given contact information for The Phoenix’s manager when the establishment re-opens.

Decoding Annie UCLA Panel Parker To L.A. Explores Facing Our Risk of Cancer Consequences Empowered (FORCE), is bringing the premiere of the film Of Child Poverty

Decoding Annie Parker to five cities across the U.S., including L.A. at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 17 at the DGA Theater, 7920 Sunset Blvd.

FORCE is the only nonprofit devoted to helping those affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), as well as their families. The event falls just before National Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Week which was established to create awareness and recognize those affected by ovarian cancer.

Starring Helen Hunt, Samantha Morton, Aaron Paul, Bradley Whitfield, and Rashida Jones, Decoding Annie Parker tells the true story of Dr. Mary Claire King and Annie Parker, each touched by hereditary breast cancer in her own way: Parker battles the disease and King’s genetic research leads to the discovery of the BRCA1 breast-cancer gene.

Compared with people in the general population, individuals with a BRCA mutation and those with a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancers have a much higher likelihood of being diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer, being diagnosed at a younger age, developing cancer more quickly and in more aggressive forms, and having a 50-percent chance of passing on a BRCA mutation to a child.

VIP screening sponsors include USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Presenting sponsors include UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

A panel featuring experts from law, health care and social services will examine how often children’s basic needs go unmet and the long-term consequences of that deficit, from 11a.m.-12:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 10, at the UCLA School of Nursing, Factor Building, Moseley Auditorium.

One in five American children is growing up in poverty, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Research has repeatedly documented health and educational disadvantages that follow these children for a lifetime.

Panelists will include: • Megan Aubrey: VP of development at Children’s Institute, Inc., a non-profit serving more than 20,000 children and families in L.A. County.

• Jessica Bartholow: a legislative advocate at the Western Center on Law and Poverty.

• Joanne Goldblum: executive director of the National Diaper Network, which supports community-based organizations nationwide that provide diapers to the 30 percent of lowincome families who cannot afford them.

• Angela Hudson: assistant professor of nursing at UCLA where she teaches maternitynewborn nursing.

• Courtney Friel Evans of KTLA will moderate.

The event is co-sponsored

by LA Diaper Drive, The National Diaper Bank Network and the UCLA School of Nursing.

The seminar is free and reservations are not required.

Six Months Of Fish Oil Reverses Liver Disease In Children With Intestinal Failure, UCLA Study Shows Children who suffer from intestinal failure, most often caused by a shortened or dysfunctional bowel, are unable to consume food orally. Instead, a nutritional cocktail of sugar, protein and fat made from soybean oil is injected through a small tube in their vein.

This intravenous nutrition serves as a bridge until the intestine improves its capacity to absorb nutrition. But soybean oil, which provides essential fatty acids and calories, has been associated with a potentially lethal complication Isabella Piscione following her known as intestinal failure–as- fish oil treatment. sociated liver disease, which compared with soybean oil, a may require a liver and/or limited duration (24 weeks) of intestinal transplant.

As a result, this oil is considered experimental and is only available under special protocols. If it proves safe and effective, we hope it would eventually be available for wider use.”

For the study, soybean oil was replaced with fish oil in 10 patients between the ages of 2 weeks and 18 years who had advanced intestinal failure–associated liver disease.

Results showed that the children receiving fish oil had a much higher rate of reversal of liver disease than those who received the standard soybean oil. In fact, after 17 weeks of fish oil, nearly 80 percent of patients experienced a reversal of their liver disease, while only 5 percent of the soybean patients saw a reversal.

For Isabella Piscione, who was one of the first UCLA patients to receive the fish-oil treatment under compassionate use, her outcome with the treatment paved the way for researchers to establish the sixmonth protocol.

Mandela Family, Bilchik Named Honorees For John Wayne Cancer Institute’s 29th Annual Odyssey Ball Next April 5 The Mandela family of South Africa will be honored with the “True Grit “Humanitarian Award at The John Wayne Cancer Institute’s ninth annual Odyssey Ball, Saturday, April 5, 2014 at The Beverly Wilshire.

Anton Bilchik, MD, PhD, FACS, professor of surgery and chief of medicine, John Wayne Cancer Institute (JWCI) at St. John’s Health Center, will receive “The Duke” Special Service Award.

The yearly fundraising event benefits the JWCI and is organized by the institute’s auxiliary.

“The Wayne family is truly honored to recognize the Mandela family,” said Patrick Wayne, chairman of the JWCI board and son of famed actor John Wayne. “Their spirit, fortitude and strength in ending apartheid and easing human suffering inspire us all and is unsurpassed as is our commitment to eradicate cancer and provide hope to cancer patients around the globe.”

• The Mandela family will be recognized for continuing the mission of former president of South Africa and Nobel Peace Laureate Nelson Mandela who helped bring an end to apartheid. As global advocates for human and civil rights, democracy, reconciliation, mutual respect and tolerance, the family is preserving the history, heritage and legacy.

Dr. Anton Bilchik

A member of the African National Congress party beginning in the 1940s, Mandela was a leader against the white minority’s oppressive regime in a racially divided South Africa.

His actions landed him in prison for nearly three decades and made him the face of the anti-apartheid movement both within his country and internationally. His family also suffered under the regime and was imprisoned and sentenced to house arrest. In 1994, Mandela became the first black president of South Africa, forming a multiethnic government to oversee the country’s transition.

• “It gives us great pleasure to celebrate the remarkable

accomplishments of Dr. Bilchik and his commitment to our mission,” said Anita Swift, auxiliary president. “His worldwide collaborations and dedication to advance knowledge of cancer research and treatment embody all that ‘The Duke’ Award symbolizes.”

Also hailing from South Africa, Bilchik is an internationally recognized surgical oncologist who has pioneered techniques to improve staging in colon cancer and minimally invasive approaches for liver and pancreatic cancer.

In 2001, Bilchik was awarded a National Cancer Institute (NCI) grant which was successfully renewed.

He has continuously led JWCI’s participation in international multicenter clinical trials, the results of which have led to improvements in national quality standards in cancer care.

He has been listed as one of “America’s Top Surgeons” for 10 years in a row. He is founder of the California Oncology Research Institute, a nonprofit organization that supports cancer research and education internationally and in underserved communities.

Boredom Never Leads To Violence In Healthy People Q. Dear Dr. Fran: Given the recent violence in Oklahoma, when three teens heartlessly murdered an innocent jogger, citing boredom as a motive, do you think it’s possible for boredom to lead to violence? As parents, we often think it’s good for kids to be bored on occasion because it forces them to use their imaginations and get creative with their activities. Could this be flawed thinking?

Harriett G. A. Dear Harriett: Boredom is never a motive, psychologically and emotionally, in healthy people to commit violence and murder. The teen killers may have been bored, but that was not the impetus to kill the innocent Australian jogger.

Those teens are sociopaths with no remorse nor conscience in their characters. In fact, boredom is good for kids on occasion not only for them to develop their imaginations; but also because we live in a culture of immediate gratification.

Advancement of electronics and an economy that forces paychecks from two working parents who are not there during the daytime have increased kids complaints about being bored.

Any teenager who cites boredom as a motivation for violence is conning you. Or, we could say he or she is a con artist. They either do not know why they are motivated to a violent act or they simply refuse to

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions be accountable and take responsibility for their actions.

Many teens who commit a violent act have been the target of mistreatment in their family of origin. Abuse, neglect and explosive discipline tactics are some of the causes.

Many of these violent teens join gangs almost always because the teen feels alone in their family and wants to be part of a group. Sometimes, the violent acts are part of a gang initiation.

However you slice it, boredom is only a factor in the equation if the acting-out teen is deeply troubled. It is a narcissistic trait in the personality structure that makes the teen believe he is above the law and will not get caught.

It is correct for parents to believe that boredom can be a good thing for a child.

That said, parents should equip their children with coping skills to deal with boredom. This begins quite young. When children are as little as 15 months old I recommend that moms set their toddlers on the floor surrounded by interesting toys.

Mommy should sit and play

with her child. Then, Mom should tell her toddler she is going into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and will come back in two minutes. This not only provides an opportunity for the young child to experience separation, but also allows your child to occupy herself without an attentive adult at all times.

Most kids do not turn to violence when bored. The most important thing parents can do to ensure their kids avoid destructive behavior as a result of boredom is to stay connected and bonded.

Talking is the glue that holds relationships together.

This open dialogue begins very young. Too many parents of teens complain that their kids are closed and don’t openly tell them what’s going on. Defenses are pretty solidly in place by adolescence.

Parents need to listen before injecting their kids with lectures.

Play a game of detective. Ask curious questions like who did you hang out with during recess and after school; or what do you think about teen pregnancy. Get inside your child’s mind, validate her ideas and beliefs, then tweak her thoughts by gently adding your opinions.

“I'm very supportive of the district moving forward and having some sort of replacement to our SRO program,” he said. “The reality is, this is the society we live in, and we have to be concerned about these things. Obviously the SRO program was a hugely popular program and it was disappointing when the City chose not to fund this program.”

“EBI’s program is like a replacement,” he said. “The plans that we've given [the BHUSD] are cohesive are district wide.”

EBI Chief Executive John McLaughlin said that by recognizing patterns, it’s possible to prevent violent situations before they escalate to school shootings. He said EBI’s “holistic” approach to shoring up safety at schools centers around effective communication, in addition to having officers embed themselves in the school community and work with PTAs and the administration.

“Meaningful change needs to encompass mental health into public safety...so there can be intervention before it escalates up to violent acts,” he said. “If you understand that pattern and you recognize that pattern, then you have an opportunity to possibly prevent it.” sues.

My Father And The Man In Black –A Johnny Cash Documentary When I was much younger and attended synagogue on Pennsylvania Avenue in Brooklyn, we substituted the last song of the service with another using the same Hebraic words. It was a terrific number and when I asked who wrote it, was told it was the tune of Johnny Cash’s I Walk The Line.

Coming from an Orthodox Jewish background, it was the first time I ever heard the song or the artist.

From that day on, I became a Johnny Cash fan, reveling in his songs and the storybook words coming to life with his amazing mellifluous voice.

My Father And The Man In Black is a documentary by the writer/director/producerJonathan Holiff detailing the relationship between the star and his dad, Saul Holiff.

After an estranged relationship for 20-plus years, Jonathan finds a key to his dad’s storage locker. Going there, he discovers dust-covered boxes detailing Saul’s relationship with the mer-

Jerry Cutler on Film curial Cash in audiotapes, hand written letters, and taped phone calls with the star.

Through re-enactment, Jonathan tells us the volatile life of Cash. For me, it was enlightening, as I had no idea of his addictions or his becoming a born-again following his marriage to June Carter.

But, Jonathan was more interested in coming to terms with the memory of his abusive dad after the elder Holiff’s suicide in 2005. As the documentary was deeply personal (it is narrated by him–a mistake), I felt sad for Jonathan and had less remorse for his father and the embattled Johnny Cash who still remains one of my favorite singers.

The Ballet Jazz de Montreal is coming to the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

Annenberg’s Debut Season Grows In Programming

By Laura Coleman The list of programs slated for the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts inagural season just keeps growing, promising that Beverly Hills will become a premiere destination for culture when the City-shaping venue opens next month, reintroducing the revamped historic 1933 Beverly Hills Office along with the new 500-seat state-of-theart Goldsmith Theatre .

“In the inaugural season we celebrate the transformation of the post office and its return to public use, as well as the community’s influence, past and present, that brought us to this historic moment,” Executive Director Lou Moore said. “Our inaugural season will appeal to all audiences and bring worldclass entertainment to Beverly Hills.”

Broadway legend Maurice Hines’ Tappin’ Through Life in May. Love, Noël: The Letters and Songs of Noël Coward with Tony Award-winner Christine Ebersole and Obie Award-winner Edward Hibbert (Feb 20-22, 2014) will be performed in the Lovelace Theatre, and will complement the previously announced Kneehigh Theatre production of Coward’s Brief Encounter, adapted for the stage and directed by Emma Rice (Feb. 15-March 23).

The audience will get a special treat in April when a collaboration with Sundance Institute Film Music Program brings ComposersLab LA On Stage to the Wallis, giving a behind-thescenes look into the creative process of renowned film composer Harry Gregson-Williams (the Shrek films, The Chronicles of Narnia, Kingdom of Heaven, Man on Fire, Spy Game).

Other recent additions include Grammy-nominated St. Lawrence String Quartet in January, the Westcoast premiere in

April of a chamber opera A Coffin in Egypt, composed by Ricky Ian Gordon with libretto and direction by Leonard Foglia, and starring mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade; and Jessica Lang Dance in their West Coast debut in May. The two structures of the complex include the 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater, a theater school for young people (opening in 2014), a café and gift shop.

Subscription tickets go on sale Oct. 1 for the inaugural season, which kicks off with performances by the Martha Graham Dance Company on Nov. 8 and 9. Season subscription ticket prices will range from $25 to $199.

Parfumerie by Miklos Laszlo, adapted by Edward P. Dowdall and directed by Mark Brokaw, will play from from Nov. 26 to Dec. 22.

An exhibition on perfume “Timeless Scents: 1370-2013,” is being created especially for The Wallis by Chandler Burr, former New York Times scent critic.

ASTROLOGY

by Holiday Mathis

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 6).

This year's realization: You don't want more; you want less.

Having less deepens your appreciation of what you have.

The time you once spent organ-

izing and maintaining things will be channeled into enjoyable and relaxing ventures.

You'll profit from a sale this month. Your talents lead to new relationships in November.

Pisces and Gemini people adore you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Put crazy ideas on the table–they may be the only ones worth entertaining. It’s the strategies you find silly that just might work. At the very least, they will be the most fun to discuss.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). How much mental energy should you invest in a task? If you overthink, you’ll be paralyzed with options, and if you under-think, you’ll take action that will prove ineffective. Somewhere in the middle, you'll find success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Feeling afraid to give input or share ideas may be a good sign that you have something valuable and unique to contribute, something that warrants a bit of nervous excitement. Don’t let the butterflies stop you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you’ve been trained to do may not be the best reaction to the problem that is presented today. Before you act, assess the situation carefully, noting what you’ve seen before and what you haven’t.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Trade in an old game that ceased to be fun a long time ago for a fresh endeavor filled with challenges. You might lose, but you’ll have more fun losing at something new than succeeding at something old.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Beware: An effort you make to manage your time and daily activities more efficiently will actually take just about the amount of time and energy that it saves. In this light, maybe

Caldwell Bogert

Carole Wells

Alex Hymes

Joan Mangum

you’d rather just take a nap.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). As waiters worldwide know, hungry people generally are not happy people. Sometimes they can be downright mean. Today the effects of hunger are exaggerated, so make things easy on yourself: Bring snacks.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19).

Knowing what someone wants will give you a degree of power, especially if you are in a position to offer it. Gather information, and don't immediately react to it. Play your cards close to the vest.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20).

Telling yourself you can’t have something is the way to wanting it more. Instead, tell yourself you can have whatever you want and believe in your higher instincts.

You’ll choose what is healthful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The way you phrase things and your small utterances will matter greatly. Don’t apologize if you didn’t do anything wrong. That will weaken your position, especially if all you are trying to do is the decent thing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will go up against someone who has a great amount of skill (in an area where you have none that you know of) and best this person with your performance. It’s because you have nothing to lose.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are willing to repeat complex activities over and over because you know that eventually this will create the neurological wiring that allows you to produce the behavior automatically and effortlessly.

The Screen Actors Guild Foundation hosted it 4th L.A. Golf Classic, a major fundraiser benefiting the SAG Foundation’s Catastrophic Health Fund and Emergency Services Assistance Programs, at the Lakeside Golf Club inn Toluca Lake. Hosted

by Dennis Quaid and Aimee Garcia, the event brought together entertainment industry celebs to raise some $320,000 for performers facing life-threatening illness and severe economic hardship.

Tim Allen, Gabriel Aubry, Benjamin Bratt, Peter Gallagher, Andy Garcia, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Ioan Gruffudd, Richard Karn, CS Lee, George Lopez, Danny Masterson, Breckin Meyer, Dermot Mulroney, Ron Perlman, Joe Pesci, Ray Romano, Kevin Sorbo, Patrick Warburton, Tom Welling and Scott Wolf were among the many teaming off for the cause.

“It was a perfect day for golf and an even better day to support our fellow performers by raising significant funds for the SAG Foundation,” said JoBeth Williams, president of the SAG Foundation.

Casamigos, George Clooney’s new ultra-premium tequila brand, hosted an oncourse tasting followed by a cocktail reception. It all concluded with a dinner and awards ceremony.

The first place net team went to the Puma Team which included celebrity player Scott Wolf. The second place net team went to a celebrity team including Gabriel Aubry, David Leisure, Danny Masterson and Michael Pena. The third place net team went to the Carson Foundation Team which included celebrity player Tom Welling.

Other prizes were given for Closest to the Pin and the Men’s and Women’s Longest Drive, with 16-year-old actor Kathryn Newton taking both contests for the women. George Lopez was the top bidder during the live auction, taking home a set of Puma golf clubs and a Lamborghini watch. Actor Carlease Burke, who was helped by the work of the SAG Foundation’s Emergency Assistance program, also spoke to share her story and thanked the actors for their support.

The tournament was sponsored by Integrated Wealth Management for the third consecutive year, along with United Airlines and the Carson Founda(see ‘MANGUM,’ page 21)

Frances Allen Desert Roundup

Screenings Start Sept. 28

One of the advantages of living in a culturally diverse area is the ability to experience glimpses of “how the other side lives;” and so it is with Oktoberfest in Palm Springs.

The first edition of Oktoberfest took place just 200 years ago to celebrate the nuptials of a German princess and consisted of five days of celebrations in mid-October, concluding with a horse race. The following years the festival was expanded, prolonged and re-scheduled in September. But, with a twist: regardless of when it started, the last weekend of the Oktoberfest always fell in October, and this tradition continues today.

Following upon its initial success last year, Palm Springs has announced its second Oktoberfest–a unique Bavarian-style festival showcasing more than 50 German and Bavarian beers, microbreweries, food and wine tasting booths – will be held in the heart of downtown at the Spa Resort Casino on Saturday, Oct. 19 from noon until 6 p.m.

The non-liquid festivities feature live entertainment on two stages with polka and celtic bands, jazz and modern music, beer stein holding contests, the “chicken dance” and costumed bar maids pouring German and Belgian beers. More than 50 labels will be available.

Like almost all fun events in Coachella Valley, Oktoberfest has a charitable component, with this year’s beneficiary being Riverside County’s Court Appointed special Advocates. CASA is a non-profit established in 1990 at the request of the Juvenile Courts of Riverside County to train community volunteers to act as advocated for abused and neglected children who are dependents of the court. CASA is the only private agency which receives court appointments to serve these children.

A CASA volunteer is the one adult in these children’s lives whose only concern is that each individual child’s best interest is represented in all areas under the court’s supervision.

CASA in Riverside County currently has 162 volunteers serving 286 foster children across the county; but there are currently more than 300 children on the wait list for a CASA volunteer.

So help multi-cultural relationships and help a child, all while spending a fun afternoon. General admission tickets are only $20 and come with two tasting tickets. $50 VIP tickets include ten tasting tickets, a souvenir beer stein and access to the VIP Lounge; and, taking the gamble out of just how much fun the afternoon will be, both levels of tickets include $10 Free Cash Play in the Spa Resort Casino.

Tickets are available at: www.OktoberfestPalmSprings.com.

Deborah Schwartz’ Woman On Top (Laudan Press) is one you won’t put down. If the title seems smirky, forget it as it refers to the heroine, Kate, at the end of the book climbing with a group to the top of Kilimanjaro.

Deborah has used her life as the fiction plot. She kept insisting it was all fiction until I told her the writing was so good she must have lived through some of it.

Kate is a lawyer and widow living in Connecticut with her daughter and son. Her husband, a doctor, had died from cancer.

After three years and her friends urging her to start dating, she put a letter in New York Magazine. The answer came back from Len, a widower, also looking to meet someone.

The book is written in alternating years-those of husband Jake (1988). The couple met at Brown Medical School and moved to neighboring Con-

ed by Gavin Keilly and his GBK Productions prior to the 2013 ESPY Awards. Besides abundant food and music, the fun event featured a poker tournament and charity fundraising for such organizations as The L.A. Lakers Youth Foundation, The Giving Back Fund, The Mama Sarah Obama Foundation, and The Model Citizen Fund. ****** The Helping Hand of Los Angeles,” an 84-year old support group of Cedars-Sinai, held its annual luncheon at The Beverly Hills Hotel.

necticut for his medical appointment, the children and his cancer, followed by the chemotherapy and his death. The other years begin with with Len (1994), a partner in a Wall Street firm in charge of its real estate deals. He is very short, manipulative, controlling...and very, very rich.

Len is living in New Jersey which I didn’t think fit this man.

Author Deborah laughed and said the real “Len” didn’t. He also didn't die as in the book, but still remains a miserable human.

Deborah herself is a lawyer, whose husband died of cancer.

She is the only writer I know who had a defamation lawyer check her book. As to the title, she not only climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro but when her guide asked if she was okay, proceeded to do 10 push ups.

by Nadia Abdelraouf Ahmed Mokhtar Mohamed Amin in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angles, requesting that Maha H. Salem and Nadia Abdelraouf Ahmed Mokhtar Mohamed Amin be appointed as local personal representatives to administer the estate of Khidir Mohamed Ahmed Aly Elsharief.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. This will avoid the need to obtain court approval for many actions taken in connection with the estate. However, before taking certain actions, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or have consented to the proposed action. The petition will be granted unless good cause is shown why it should not be.

The petition is set for hearing in Dept. No. 11 at 111 N. Hill Street, Los Angeles California 90012 on September 16, 2013 at 8:30 a.m.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Section 9100 of the California Probate Code. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the date of the hearing noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are interested in the estate, you may request special notice of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Section 1250 of the California Probate Code.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved with bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien not 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.

Education Partner

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH

THINK OF THE GOOD THINGS The end of Labor Day marks the return of “business as usual.” Summer is over. Calls now get returned. Business picks up (we hope). School resumes.

The early arrival this year of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur ties in with a positive notion of “think of the good things.” Reflection on life is usually a good thing. Think of G-d’s blessings.

Think of where we are, and where we are not.

For those who celebrate these holidays, this most special time of the year brings with it centuries of tradition and rabbinical teachings. Regardless of one’s religion, those teachings have tremendous value for all people of good will.

The contrast between the teachings of these two Jewish holy days and the philosophy raging in the non-Israel portions of the Middle East could not be more stark. One celebrates life, forgiveness, and good works. The other demands death, blood and revenge. For one, life is the answer. For the other, the answer is death – submission or death.

As a nation steeped in the Judeo-Christian tradition of forgiveness, atonement for sins (whether personal or vicarious), “the golden rule,” and tolerance, it is nearly impossible for us to contemplate the depth of hatred that permeates the religion of the brutal ranks of Islamic jihadists.

We’ve been told. We’ve seen the footage. We know what they believe, which is “you die.” We just don’t get it.

We base our nation on a different approach. Our “contrast” is to value family, friends, faith and progress towards a better more peaceful world. We can promote all of those values, except a peaceful world, in our own homes, our offices, and places of worship. The “peace part” invariably involves guns, bombs, missiles and killing people. As one astute historian put it, American freedom was not won by Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. It was won by the Continental Army.

So, as we enter year 5774 (or the remainder of September 2013), reflect and consider.

Consider which values we share. Consider which values are worth living and which are even worth defending. All values are not created equal, but the pursuit of different values has vastly different consequences.

Our nation is blessed by its Jewish and Christian traditions and heritage. Those are the values on which our nation is founded, no matter how many Marxist college history professors try to argue otherwise. We have every right to insist that our values be preserved and passed on as part of our national heritage. We acknowledge daily that this right must be balanced by our coequal tradition of tolerance that requires us to refrain from imposing those values on others by force. Tolerance, however, is no justification for permitting those in our country who carry different values to demand that we as a nation abandon ours.

Life, forgiveness, atonement – that’s a pretty good recipe. We are truly blessed that this has been our national recipe – even if not always followed -- for over two centuries. In some cases, for over 57 centuries.

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

Rabbi Jacob Pressman A GOOD AND SWEET NEW YEAR Yesterday was Rosh Hashanah, welcoming in the Jewish new year 5774. It is a time set aside for introspectation and atonement, properly referred to as Days of Awe. For the observant Jew, aided by the support at High Holy Day services in the midst of his or her coreligionists, it is a time for honest selfanalyst, recognizing our short-comings and vowing to correct this in the new year. We pray for ourselves, individually, and for humanity, collectively.

I find the best expression of what the new year means in the prayer of Rabbi Amnon of Mayence in 11th century Germany. The local archbishop tried to persuade him to renounce his faith, and when he did not, had his arms and legs cut off.

Bleeding, he was brought in to the local synagogue’s Rosh Hashanah’s services. There he intoned: “On Rosh Hashanah, it is inscribed...and on Yom Kippur, it is sealed. How many shall pass away and how many will be born...who shall live and who shall die.” He went on to list all the possibilities of the new year.

His alternatives are what we all face as we enter a new period of time. With awe we look to the unknown future and pray–not for ourselves alone, but for the human race.

May I wish for you and me...and all humanity: a long life, good health, true peace and prosperity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We read with great confusion and dismay that you were changing the name of the Beverly Hills Education Foundation. As you know, we were all involved in either the creation of BHEF, or were a part of the massive success that it ultimately became.

It was through our hard work (along with countless others) that helped create the most successful K-12 education foundation in the state. Many schools have held up the BHEF as an example of how successful an education foundation can work.

We’ve come to understand that you’ve had some struggles over the past few years but we were unaware that those struggles had something to do with the actual name, BHEF. From our understanding, your new board only consists of you and three others (all of whom were prior board members of the BHEF). It seems to us that the problem doesn’t lie within the name of the organization but in the recruiting of new members.

When you read the name “Beverly Hills Education Foundation” or BHEF, you know exactly who we are, what we stand for, and where the money is going. It took us years to brand our name and get people and businesses to understand what we did.

Now you have a new name with no brand equity and a total of three board members (held over from the previous board)..

Respectfully we are really confused. From past experience, it is the Board of Directors that makes the difference (not a name change).

We believe that your should leave the name alone and focus on bringing in new creative board members.

It is our sincere hope that you will reconsider what you are doing. The BHEF has been a part of school community for well over 30 years and there are a lot of member of our community that have given countless years to branding the name.

If you feel the foundation broken, changing the name won’t bring you any new dollars. What it does bring you is mass confusion and needless distractions.

Changing the name is not the answer.

FOUNDING BOARD MEMBERS Harriett Borson Max Factor, III Founding President Judie Fenton Bruce Konheim Carol Krasne Bernard Newman Linda Roberts Phyliss Phillips Seidman Gloria Seiff PAST PRESIDENTS Don Creamer Murray Fischer Simone Friedman Jan Block ****** A great deal has been written and said about the bollards on Crescent Drive..most of it not in favor of the street blockage both now and for special events.

It is a shame most City Council members do not care about the loss of business on that street nor the fact that such closures are an inconvenience to many citizens. It is equally shameful the voices of those affected by this are not heard or accounted for.

This council promised us accountability and transparency.

Neither promise is being kept when many of our citizens and businesses are affected in a negative way for the pleasures of a few.

It is also disheartening to know that some councilmembers want their elected time in office to work in a more convenient way with their private schedules and lives. After all, they were not elected for personal convenience, but to make our City better and more convenient for its citizens.

If you can't represent our City in the way that you were elected, then you should not be in office.
