Mady, Beverly Hills Hotel Honored For Work With Jewish Community By Matt Lopez In recognition of nearly two decades of service to the Jewish community, The Beverly Hills Hotel and its Regional Director, USA/General Manager Edward Mady this summer were recognized with the Jewish Community 2014 Award for Excellence in Service. The award was presented in

part because of a longstanding relationship the hotel has had with the Jewish community, including its 17-year relationship with local Chabad congregants. The Beverly Hills Hotel for the past 17 years has held Friday night and Saturday morning Sabbath services that are free and open to both the public and guests of the hotel.

Mayor Bosse's unbridled enthusiasm is the hallmark of her popularity and her appeal was center stage as she reiterated her “Healthy City” initiative as a business proposition for the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce.

Legendary Palm Restaurant Comes to Beverly Hills

WALKING TO THE COURIER—Last Monday, hundreds of residents joined Mayor Lili Bosse (pictured in the middle of the group with Courier Publisher Marcia Hobbs) on her weekly “Walk With the Mayor” to visit the The Courier’s new office at 499 N. Canon Dr. Hobbs, along with Courier staff, explained how the newspaper is produced each week and answered a variety of questions from those in attendance. Don’t be a stranger - come visit us!

Beverly Elder: Robert Fox, 85, Recalls Growing Up In Beverly Hills During And After World War II Part 3 of a series of Beverly Hills residents who have grown with the Centennial City. By Laura Coleman It was a different era when Robert Fox graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1946. For starters, there were no computers or televisions–certainly no smart phones. But it was the modern age and key elements like cars and medicines that hadn’t existed 80 years before were commonplace. Later this year, Fox will speak at Horace Mann (his alma mater) for Pearl Harbor remembrance day - a world-changing event that happened more than 70-years ago on Dec. 7, 1941.

(see ‘PALM RESTAURANT’ page 24)

For Fox, who now lives in Pacific Palisades, the past is punctuated by changes that seem to slip away from the collective soul with every passing decade. It was this penchant for preserving the past that led Fox to get involved with the Beverly Hills Alumni Association 27 years ago. He was president for two years (2003-05) and oversaw the expansion of the association’s Alumni Highlights, which under his watch served former graduates with a sacred richness. “The bonding that took place at (see ‘ROBERT FOX’ page 18)

By Laura Coleman West Hollywood’s legendary Palm restaurant is moving to Beverly Hills, and it’s hungry for your affection. “It’s a new chapter,” said Palm EVP Bruce Bozzi, Jr., whose great-grandfather cofounded the original Palm in New York in 1926. “It just felt right.” After 39 years in the adjacent village, the classic steakhouse famed for giant lobsters, power lunches and its caricature-adorned walls will open in November at 267 N.

Horace Mann Breaks Ground On New School Building

Robert Fox

By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills leaders, parents and students gathered Friday morning to celebrate the official groundbreaking of the Horace Mann new construction project. The new classroom building is the City’s first new school building project underway since voters passed the $334 million school build-

ing Measure E bond in 2008. “I am over the moon about the groundbreaking,” Board of Education President Noah Margo told The Courier. “This was one of my goals getting on the board; seeing a project into its groundbreaking phase. And I hope we can continue the path we’re on.” (see ‘HORACE MANN’ page 24)

Beverly Hills Parents To Get 101 On Safety At Tuesday’s Education Night At Beverly Vista By Laura Coleman In the wake of genuine security risks, beyond the possibility that a subway will cause their high school to crumble, Beverly Hills students face a world of unknown threats that the Beverly Hills Unified School District is at least in part responsible for minimizing.

On Tuesday, parents are invited to come to the Beverly Vista Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. to hear experts discuss the legitimacy of security risks, what Beverly Hills schools are doing to protect students and what parents can do at home. “Each of our schools has a carefully vetted plan to keep

our students safe,” Beverly Vista Principal Christian Fuhrer told The Courier. “It is equally important for our families to have a plan while at home.” Tuesday’s Parent Ed Night, which is put on by the Beverly Vista PTA, is intended for all BHUSD parents and is the first (see ‘SCHOOL SAFETY’ page 24)

PUPPY LOVE—This week, The Courier features two dogs up for adoption. Hitch (pictured above, right) is a sweet, 1-year old, male, 20-pound schnauzer. He was found as a stray and ended up on death row before ShelterHopePetShop.org came to his rescue. Black dogs are the hardest shelter dogs to find homes for, yet a favorite amongst the rescue volunteers, as their dark hair doesn’t show on their jeans and leggings. Those interested in adopting Hitch may call Shelter Hope at 805-379-3538. Chewy (pictured above, left) is a male, 8-year-old Yorkie that weighs 10 pounds. He is neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped and just had a dental. He gets along well with other dogs and cats. He is very easy going and loves affection.

This is the second in a three-part interview series with Petersen Museum Chairman and noted car enthusiast Peter Mullin By Matt Lopez If there's one thing visitors to the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car extravaganza can expect, it's to expect the unexpected when it comes to Peter Mullin. Every year, the noted car aficionado, who serves as chairman of the Peterson Auto Museum and founder of the Mullin Auto Museum, seems to top himself with an extraordinary new car to showcase at the event. This year's was no different, with Mullin unveiling a 1931 Bugatti Type 50 S, which made its post-restoration debut at the Pebble Beach Concours on Sunday, Aug 17.

Beverly Hills Students To Get More Internet Access On Campuses By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills students and teachers frustrated by the lack of on-campus-access to Internet sites may soon gain more autonomy in deciding how to online search following clarification from the Board of Education that it’s really up to the site administrators to determine what is acceptable. “It’s like the People’s Republic of

China here in Beverly Hills,” boardmember Lisa Korbatov said of the “prison-like” filters that prevent students from accessing YouTube and portals associated with search terms that might lead to inappropriate sites. “I’d like to lift all the filters...It’s time to come into 2014.” Student boardmember Josh Schenk (see ‘INTERNET ACCESS’ page 26)

By Laura Coleman More than 2,000 people showed up to this year’s Strut Your Mutt at Will Rogers State Historic Park - making the Best Friends Animal Society’s multi-million dollar fundraiser event its most successful to date. “We have been conducting this event for 18 years and in that time it has raised millions for shelters and rescues

from California to New York,” said Gregory Castle, Best Friends’ chief executive officer. The event raised over $600,000 which will benefit hundreds of humane organizations with similar events across the country. Last year, Best Friends raised nearly $1.7 million, which benefited approximately 230 animal welfare (see ‘STRUT YOUR MUTT’ page 26)

Santa Monica Conservancy Annual Event at the Bundy House By Victoria Talbot The Santa Monica Conservancy will hold its fall fundraising event at the Bundy House, the original home of Thomas Clark Bundy and May Sutton Bundy, built in 1913. Salon attendees will enjoy a house tour and conversation with the current owners, music, wine and elegant hors d’oeuvres. The date is set for Sunday, Oct. 12 from 3-5 p.m. Thomas C. Bundy was the youngest son of Nathan Pearl Bundy, one of Santa Monica’s earliest settlers. A champion tennis-player, Tom Bundy later became a visionary developer, shaping the Sherman Oaks portion of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles’ Westside. Bundy developed the Miracle Mile in Los Angeles and he was the founder of the Los Angeles Tennis Club. Tom Bundy was a 3-time winner of the men’s doubles title at the U.S. Championships. In 1912, Bundy met and married May Godfrey Sutton, also a champion tennis player. At the age of 12, she had been the nation’s youngest female tennis star. Sutton became the first American woman to win a

Wimbledon singles title in 1905, beating two-time British

champion Dorothea Douglass Chambers. They met two more times at Wimbledon, Sutton losing the title in 1906 and winning it back in 1907. She was the 1908 Rose Parade queen in Pasadena. Sutton then retired to raise a family, returning to the court in 1921. At the age of 35, she became the fourth-ranked player in the U.S. She then became a quarterfinalist in the 1939 Wimbledon match at the age of 42. She and daughter Dorothy Cheney became the only mother-daughter team seeded at the U.S. Championships in 1928

and 1929. She played tennis into her late 80s.

In 1938, May Bundy, along with Amelia Earhart, was named one of the nation’s most influential feminists for her accomplishments in a field that was traditionally dominated by men. In 1956, she was the first woman to be inducted into the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association Hall of Fame. She played – and won – her last match at the age of 88. The Bundy’s were a celebrity sports sensation for several decades in the 20th Century. Bundy hired architects Sumner Hunt and Silas Burns to build his private residence, a

5,584 square foot Colonial Revival home at 25th Street and Carlysle. The lot is twice the width of adjacent lots and one of the largest in Santa Monica. The 100-year old structure was one of the first to be built in the neighborhood, and still features a blend of Colonial Revival and Craftsman in many of its interior and exterior features. Exquisite details, fine materials and delightful interior spaces are preserved throughout the home. It is a grand and well-articulated example of period architecture in character with the development of the much-desired real estate in that section of Santa Monica. The homes current owners and hosts for this occasion are celebrating landmark designation, which was granted this year. Meredith Stiehm (an avid tennis player through her youth) and Tom Smuts, both TV screenwriters, sought landmark designation for the Bundy House, which has been evaluated by the city of Santa Monica twice for designation.

FDA Approves New Melanoma Drug That Turns National Alzheimer’s Day With Walk On The Immune System To Fight Deadly Cancers

To commemorate national Alzheimer’s Day, Sunrise Beverly Hills will host a “Spirit Walk” on Sunday, Sept. 21. The event will begin with a pep rally at 10 a.m. and participants, encouraged to wear purple, will then walk from the senior living community at 201 N. Crescent Dr. to Santa Monica Boulevard, and back to the community. Any walker can buy a $10 flower and “join the fun.” Prizes will be awarded for the “most spirited” walkers. Complimentary treats will be available after the walk; and Jamba Juice will sell smoothies with a percentage of sales benefiting the Alzheimer’s Assoc-

iation. The walk is a prelude to the Alzheimer’s Association L.A. chapter’s “Walk To End Alzheimer’s,” Sunday, Nov. 2 beginning in Century Park. The walks, held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and it’s the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. Every 67 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops the disease. For more information on the Sunrise walk, call 310-2744479.

AHA Heart Walk Set For Sept. 21 In SM The American Heart Association’s second annual Santa Monica Heart Walk will be Sunday, Sept. 21, at the Santa Monica Pier, 200 Santa Monica Pier. The annual 5K, sponsored locally by Union Bank, UCLA Health and Huntington Hospital, aims to raise funds to fight heart disease and stroke – the nation’s #1 and #4 killers— and other cardiovascular diseases that claim the lives of

more than 831,000 men, women and children every year. The free event begins with registration/expo and 8 a.m., and the walk at 9 a.m. The day will feature a onemile “Survivor Route,” kids fun zone, entertainment, health expo, free health screenings and more.

Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new immunotherapy drug to treat advanced melanoma, signaling a paradigm shift in the way the deadly skin cancer is treated. The drug, Keytruda, was tested on more than 600 patients who had melanoma that had spread throughout their bodies. Because so many of the patients in the early testing showed significant long-lasting responses, the FDA granted the drug “breakthrough therapy” status, allowing it to be fasttracked for approval. The research was conducted at UCLA and 11 other sites in the U.S., Europe and Australia. Keytruda is an antibody that targets a protein called PD-1 that is expressed by immune cells. The protein puts the immune system’s brakes on, keeping T cells from recognizing and attacking cancer cells, said Dr. Antoni Ribas, the study’s principal investigator and a professor of medicine at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. For years, the strategy in immunotherapy has been to bolster the immune system so it could kill the cancer cells. But

the approach had limited success because PD-1 prevented the immune system from becoming active enough to attack the cancer. Keytruda cuts the brake lines, freeing up the immune system to attack the cancer. “This drug is a game changer, a significant advance in the treatment of melanoma,” said Ribas, also is a researcher at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. “For patients

who have not responded to prior therapies, this drug now provides a real chance to shrink their tumors and the hope of a lasting response to treatment.” Generally, about 1 in 10 patients responded to previous immunotherapy drugs. The response and duration rates for Keytruda were much greater than for previous drugs. In the new study, 72 percent of patients responded to the drug, (see ‘MELANOMA DRUG,’ page 22)

On Explaining Death And Loss To Children, Chill Time For Harassed Moms Q. Dear Dr. Fran: We are about to lose my children’s grandmother. She is in hospice and I need help telling the kids when the time comes. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Laura S. A. Dear Laura: When explaining death and loss to children it helps to make the following points. • All living things including flowers, plants, insects, birds, animals are born and get old, wither and then die. Trees live a longer life and then they die, too. People are like trees. They live for a long time until their bodies get old, wither and die. Sometimes, they get a disease that speeds dying along. • When a person dies, their body stops breathing and they no longer can feel pain. Nothing hurts them in their bodies or feelings. (This is your springboard to helping a child who attends the funeral and sees the casket lowered into the ground. You can reiterate that the body is dead and no longer feels pain). • You can add your personal spiritual and/or religious beliefs about where the soul goes after death. Comfort the child by saying the memory of the deceased remains alive in our minds and hearts because we loved that person so much. • Talk with your child about how sad it feels when we lose someone we love. Highlight all the fun things we did together and have your child tell stories of fun memories, too. • Give permission for angry feelings to be expressed. It’s natural for kids (and adults) to feel why my grandma....why not someone else’s grandma. • Make a book with your child about the deceased. “My Grandma Susie.”

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions Allowing your child to glue photographs of the lost family member onto paper, draw pictures of her own to include in the book, and choose a place where she can keep the book to refer to on her own terms gives your child an opportunity to expel emotions otherwise pent up, as well as offers her a sense of control where death is something none of us can control. Q. Dear Dr. Fran, here we are in September, school has started, and I am already dreading the exhausting year ahead. I have three school age kids 7, 9, and 11. Everyone seems to want something from me all the time. Between my husband and the kids I am run ragged and need your advice on what to do. Help! Jackie D. A. Dear Jackie, Take 10-15 minutes each day to be with yourself and chill. You’d be surprised how challenging this is to do when you have a spouse and children tugging at you 24/7. Most moms complain that the hardest time is 4-7 p.m. Tell the kids Mommy is going to rest for 15 minutes. Children ages 7-11 are old enough to handle 15 minutes of independent play or homework. Buy a 60-minute timer at the 99-Cent (see ‘DR. FRAN,’ page 22)

Debbie Reynolds To Receive SAG Life Achievement Award By John L. Seitz Legendary actress Debbie Reynolds will receive a Life Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild for her professional and humanitarian efforts. The presentation will be made during the annual SAG Awards next Jan. 25. Reynolds starred in more than 50 films including Singin’ In The Rain and The Unsinkable Molly Brown, two Broadway plays, two TV series, and authored Unsinkable: A Memoir. She recently played Liberace’s mother in the Emmy-winning Behind The Candleabra, which starred Michael Douglas. For almost 60-years, she has been a vital force with The Thalians, which has raised more than $30 million to fight the stigma of mental illness. The Thalians now devotes its fundraising efforts to UCLA’s Operation Mend to repair major explosion injuries for both men and women veterans of the armed forces.

in the main garden on a perfect late summer evening. The event was so popular that parking quickly filled up. Guests were shuttled from the street to the mansion. Among those in attendance was a brief appearance by State Sen. Ted Lieu, candidate for the 33rd Congressional District race. Councilmember Nancy Krasne and Vice Mayor Julian Gold, City Manager Jeff Kolin, BHPD Chief Dave Snowden, BHFD Chief Ralph Mundell, City Clerk Byron Pope, Community Development Director Susan Healy Keene, and Community Services Director Steve Zoet joined Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Alexander Stettinski to welcome the mayor. Bosse spoke of her “Healthy City” initiative as meaning a city that has healthy people, healthy businesses and a healthy government. In the Walk with the Mayor, a weekly feature of her “Healthy City” campaign, Bosse said: "We have formed an enthusiastic, new Beverly Hills family of hundreds of local walkers . . . who support our businesses. We are attracting new customers while reinforcing our unique brand of positive, communitybuilding." She is sending out a letter to every restaurant to encourage healthy menu options with a “Healthy City” decal to display for participants. Bosse mentioned businesses she has visited on the Walks with the Mayor and those that have been highlighted in her “60-Second Shout-Outs” at City Council meetings. The mayor presented some controversial projects with a positive growth spin, including the 9900 Building, formerly the Robinsons-May. Bosse said that the Wanda Group, the new owners of the property, closed escrow on Tuesday and will be pursuing the completion of the 235-luxury condominiums that have been approved for the site. She mentioned the Waldorf Astoria, and said that construction preparations are to be completed by December; the new hotel is scheduled to open in 2018. The good news is that Burberry on

Rodeo Drive will be complete just in time for the holidays. Department stores Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus are to be undergoing major renovations. The City has hired new building inspectors and is working towards making more online permitting for more than the current 30-percent of permits issued. The City, said Bosse, has completed the in lieu parking study and is working to create more flexible parking to meet the City's needs. “Business tax generates 20-percent of our General Fund's revenues, a figure possibly unmatched anywhere,” said Bosse.” The TOT (Transit Occupancy Tax) generates 18-percent and the sales tax, 15-percent. Property taxes are 24percent.” “Our CFO Don Rhodes, our City Treasurer Eliot Finkel and our bottom line all agree: the City is doing great. We are in robust financial health. Our tax base is well-diversified, revenue growth is steady, expenditure growth is moderate and our reserves are fullyfunded.” Bosse said that the surpluses, “are conservatively projected to continue for at least five years out.” The Mayor also addressed the City's unfunded liabilities. “This is a very real financial issue facing many cities and it has also become a hot political topic. We are very aware and proactive in how we are approaching this obligation,” she said. “Our unfunded liability is money that will be coming due over the next few decades to pay for City employee pensions - some projections indicate an amount over $200 million.” The City allocated $2 million towards that fund in the last fiscal year and plans to do that again this year. Bosse spotlighted the ongoing upgrades on the City's parking structures, the restoration of the Beverly Gardens Park, and the renovation of Roxbury Park as the City undergoes a “facelift.” “For a 100-year-old, Beverly Hills is looking pretty great.”

S P O RT S Templeton 41, Beverly Hills 7

Normans Start Fast, But Can’t Hold On In Season-Opening Loss To Templeton By Matt Lopez Typically, there isn't much positive to take from a 41-7 loss. But for a Beverly Hills High team coming off a winless 2013 season, steps forward like the ones taken last Friday in a 41-7 nonleague home loss to Templeton mean quite a bit. The biggest step forward came early, when the Normans (0-1) opened the game with a 14-play scoring drive, capped off by a short Roshad Thomas touchdown run. That series gave Beverly Hills High a 7-0 lead, which would have been a rarity last year, that it carried well into the second quarter. It didn't last, however, as Templeton's no-huddle offensive attack sped ahead, took the lead and never looked back, but for a brief moment it gave the Normans a glimpse of just what could be this season. "It was great for us to have that lead and obviously it helps us see the things we need to change," BHHS coach Charlie

Stansbury said. "To come out and start fast is great, now it's about taking that next step and sustaining that." It marked the 12th straight loss for the Normans, and the 11th loss for Stansbury in his 11 games as BHHS head coach. “Sometimes we got in our own way, we had ‘em right where we wanted ‘em a few times, and weren’t able to sustain or stop them on defense,” Stansbury said, noting as an example a 3rd-and-long play where BHHS’ defense got flagged for roughing the passer. Stansbury, however, sees plenty of positives to take from the game as the Normans move forward in 2014. One key Stansbury noted was the team having only two “3-and-outs” in the game. “That’s a big improvement for us,” Stansbury said. One bright spot for the Normans was their running game. Joe Kolko tallied 76 yards on 12 carries and

BHHS Cross Country Starts Strong At Fastback Shootout In the Fastback Shootout, a 1.92 mile course at Mt. SAC, the Beverly Hills High cross country team was divided into competitive heats for each grade level. The BHHS boys sophomores placed second overall with 114 points, led by

Noah Lee's 9th place finish in 11:04.51. In the girls sophomore race, Jillian Dveirin took ninth place with a 13:27.90 finish. Sydney Hanover was 17th place in the girls junior race at 13:47.35

Tennis Team Falls To Peninsula In Season-Opener Martina Bocchi swept her three singles sets for Beverly Hills High in a 12-6 nonleague loss to visiting Peninsula on Sept. 3. Alex Treivash and Nicole

Okhman won two doubles sets for BHHS. A nonleague match scheduled for Sept. 9 against Palisades was canceled.

Sebastian Torres had 68 yards on just nine carries. A question mark going into Friday's home game with North Torrance will be the health of starting quarterback/defensive back Mike Massie, who injured his leg in the Templeton loss. Stansbury said his status is still

up in the air, but the team is ready either way. Dylan Rutigliano and Jake Wolken will step in at quarterback if Massie is unable to go. "It's something we look at every day, but right now it's a wait and see situation," Stansbury said.

North Torrance should provide quite a challenge for the Normans. The Saxons are led by the athletic Mique Juarez, a 4-star recruit who plays just about every position on offense and has been offered a scholarship by USC.

Girls Volleyball Sweeps Crescenta Valley At Swim Gym By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills High girls volleyball team already looks much improved from last season, and continued its early-season momentum Tuesday afternoon. Landry Bearden, Paige Dubelko and Elsa Woods led BHHS in kills to help the Normans to a 25-21, 25-23, 25-20 nonleague victory over Crescenta Valley in the Swim Gym. Last season, BHHS lost to Crescenta Valley in a five-set match. "Both teams were pretty even for the most part, all three games were close," said BHHS girls volleyball coach Tanner Siegal, who is in his first year at the school. "It was about executing late in games, we were able to get a couple of kills and were serving really good. We just did enough to get a win." BHHS' nonleague win over Crescenta Valley came on the heels of a weekend showing at the Pasadena Poly Tournament

where they won two of their six pool play matches. "We did okay, but we mixed up our lineup quite a bit," Siegal said. "It was definitely a tournament we went

into with a goal to play some different lineups and get some experience that we normally don't get in those situations."

Frances Allen Desert Roundup

If you are a parent, the results of a recent study concluding that the cost of raising a child is nearly $250,000, doesn’t come as a surprise. But, imagine the cost of raising more than 100 children and young adults; and by the way, they are physically and mentally disabled as well. Founded in 1954 by a group of parents whose children suffered from polio, Angel View, Inc. is the longest established nonprofit in the Coachella Valley operating intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled, providing 24-hour nursing services in group-homes that emulate a family environment. When polio was eradicated in the 1970s, Angel View directed its resources to the development disable and today approximately 70-percent of the people served have some form of paralysis. Here, in a non-hospital setting, residents achieve their maximum potential for independence and self-esteem with the help of doctors, nurses, speech therapists and other health care providers. Currently, Angel View maintains 19 six-bed homes located in various neighborhoods throughout the Valley. Eighteen of these homes provide 24-hour nursing care to children suffering with muscular dystrophy. These homes are adapted for persons with disabilities and provide residents with nursing and attendance care. For example: since nearly 75-percent of Angel View’s clients have some form of paralysis, many use mobility devices; each home features extra-wide doorways, low counter-tops and sink, and roll-in showers to facilitate wheelchairs. Walls and doorways take a beating from constant wheelchair use, so all homes feature extra thick walls, complete with heavy-duty reinforcement. Angel View is a dynamic, vibrant organization and it has grown in recent years to keep pace with changing community needs, and it now offers a day program for adults with developmental problems. In addition, it trains its residents to develop independent living skills and improve their quality of life. It is this empowerment, according to Mel Haber, Palm Springs’ most famous hotelier, (Ingleside Inn), and long-time president of Angel View’s board of directors, is “the greatest gift of all.” While Angel View does receive funds from Medi-Cal, the amount doesn’t come close to the total of what is needed to fund all of its services. So, since the 1960s, Angel View has augmented its income by operating a thriving and ever-expanding chain of thrift marts and resale boutiques–currently 16 throughout the Coachella Valley and beyond. It’s an unprecedented number for any non-profit and an indication of the quality and favorable pricing available at an Angel View thrift store. For more information, or to request a tour of an Angel View home, call 760-329-6471. You will be on your way to becoming a real angel.

ROBERT FOX (Continued from page 4)

the high school was amazing,” he said. Fox’s memory is still immaculate. He can rattle off the names of his fellow Horace Mann graduates. He flips through old BHHS yearbooks, recounting stories that are heartbreaking, poignant and hopeful. “Life was easy,” he recalled. “We went to the movies. We went down to the beach if we could get a ride.” Yes, there was a war, but aside from shortages of gasoline and rubber, rations and blackouts, the knowledge that families were losing sons and friends to preserve democracy, and a fear that the Japanese would bomb: “We didn’t have a war in this country,” he said. “During World War II, we had pretty carefree lives,” he said. Afternoons would take him to the gramophone shop where he’d listen to Glenn Miller, or over to Curries Ice Cream Parlor on Rodeo Drive where a “milehigh” triangular scoop of ice cream cost a nickel. Fox was born Nov. 7, 1928, in Cincinnati, just two months after BHHS graduated its first class. His father, whom he called a “mechanical genius,” did production work and moved the family to the Wilshire area in 1935, before settling in Beverly Hills. After college, Fox went to UC Berkeley where he figured out that a degree in psychology would be the most economical route. He worked at Channel 13 as a page and then as stage manager on The Al Jarvis Show (where Betty White was “his girl Tuesday”). He married Valerie Barker in 1953, a University High graduate that he’s been with for 61-years now. For their first date, Fox took her to a Gershwin concert at the Hollywood Bowl where they sat in the 50-cent seats.

“I knew it was going to work,” he recalled of the woman he raised two daughters with. “She laughed at all my jokes. Six weeks later we got engaged.” Fox started doing sales for Hunt, where he opened 26 accounts his first month by convincing grocers that they’d see profit by going through him directly, which they did. Fox touts foundational sales strategies as key to his success: “Don’t lie. Look the client in the face. Don’t wear dark glasses.” Later, he went to accounting classes at L.A. City College for a business background and started working at KFWB. He then moved to KRKD where he acquired 10 percent of the station, the eventual sale netting enough to indulge in buying a Corvette and a mink coat for his wife. “I may not be an Einstein, but I have a lot of common sense,” he said. “Everywhere I went, I drove sales.” That “sense,” which he said fosters his great passion for organizing organizations, led him to purchase a crop of radio stations in Ventura in the 1950s for $500,000 (which he raised from investors to fund the endeavor.) In 1965 he bought simulcast FM for the radio stations, eventually converting the FM to KHAY, the first FM in California to broadcast country music in stereo. He was twice elected chairman of the board of the Southern California Broadcasters Association and founded the Educational Foundation for the National Association of Broadcasters. “I was known as the most prolific fundraiser in the broadcasting industry,” he said. In 1994 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Southern California Broadcasters Association. In 2006, he was named to the BHHS Hall of Fame. For Fox, it’s been a great life. He can only imagine what the future holds.

901 STRADA VECCHIA— M o h a m e d Hadid’s 901 Strada Vecchia mansion has been covered since the LADBS levied an intent to revoke his permits in July.

901 STRADA VECCHIA (Continued from page 1)

That meant that Hadid, the owner/developer of the property, would be forced to present revised plans and topographical maps for the project. Among other things, neighbor Joseph Horacek, who officially appealed the permits with the city of Los Angeles in April, alleged that unpermitted grading and demolishing took place without a permit and that the site’s natural grade was misrepresented in order to permit a project that exceeds the LADBS building code’s height limit. The LADBS concurred and after that appeal, coupled with a letter from L.A. City Councilman Paul Koretz asking the city to step in, the LADBS put its foot down in July with the intent to revoke permits. After nearly two months of back-and-forth between Hadid and the city of Los Angeles, the LADBS early Wednesday confirmed that it officially revoked permits for the construction of a two-story single family home, 4,888-cubic yards of grading, the construction of retaining walls, the construction of a detached deck and the construction of an infinity pool on

the property. “The applicant failed to provide the required information that our plan check wanted in order for the project to move forward,” said Luke Zamperini, LADBS’ chief inspector for training and emergency management, noting the information submitted by Hadid was “inadequate”. “They were given plenty of time and haven’t submitted the right information.” Zamperini said that the change of the grade of the hillside, resulting in a project far taller than permitted or allowed under code, played a major role in the decision. “It was a number of things, one of the issues of course was the establishment of where natural grade was before they started working on the place,” Zamperini said. The revocation of permits doesn’t necessarily mean the house is being demolished anytime soon. Hadid could still submit requests for new permits, or revised topographic maps and plans for review. “As of today, he has no permits, if he wants to continue building he will need to come in and get new permits,” Zamperini said. “A lot of that

has to do with establishing where the natural grade is. That’s kind of the sticking point. To come back with a plan to change what they have there now to match what we believe is the actual natural grade.” Zamperini said LADBS has been monitoring the site closely since the intent to revoke permits was levied in July. “We have an inspector going by every day, we’re monitoring the site and will continue to monitor,” Zamperini said. In an online newsletter to Bel-Air residents, Koretz said Thursday morning he is “gratified that permits for the 901 Strada Vecchia project in BelAir have now been revoked.” Hadid’s attorney Benjamin Reznik told The Courier that his client would appeal the decision and said the city of Los Angeles is “not being reasonable.” “We’re disappointed because I think the city’s decision is premature. We haven’t completed our discussions with the city,” Reznik said. “There is definitely something wrong with how the city is trying to reconcile multiple different surveys over decades.” Hadid did not return a request for comment.

Beverly Hills Jewish community on behalf of The Beverly Hills Hotel,” Mady said. “We couldn't be prouder of the long-standing relationship we have had with the local Jewish community for the past 17

years, and we look forward to many more years of friendship and partnership with Rabbi Cunin and his congregants." The Beverly Hills Hotel has held High Holiday services over Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippor for the same 17 years and will do so again this year. "It's a great experience for people who might feel a little intimidated walking into a synagogue for the first time, not knowing the decor or how to conduct themselves," Rabbi Yosef Cunin said of his Chabad High Holiday services. Cunin said he worked in Moscow, Russia until the mid90s, when he came to California. He said he was in search of a location in Beverly Hills to help reach out to Jews in the area who weren't attending services of any kind. It was then that he approached the Beverly Hills Hotel, who he says welcomed him with open arms and have been the home of his Chabad services for the past 17 years. "[The Beverly Hills Hotel] has this ability to open their doors, like no one else, for the local community and always manage to make themselves available," Cunin said. "They really set themselves out to be a part the local community."

MANAGING YOUR WEALTH

Giving While Living: Wealth Planning For The Tech Philanthropist By Yolla Kairouz, Associate Wealth Advisor for Wells Fargo Private Bank witter and Facebook led the pack for the biggest social media IPOs and venture capital returns for 2013, setting a record decade high for growth in technology, which shows no sign of abating in 2014. Dropbox and others are quickly following in the parade of high-profile IPO launches, and tech talent is in short supply and high demand.1 Interestingly, there is another boom in our midst: the rise of philanthropy and social entrepreneurship. The first gilded age of philanthropy took place during the industrial era. This second wave of philanthropy is driven by the success and generosity of venture capitalists, entertainers, and tech entrepreneurs. Today’s list of notable philanthropists—Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffett, Eli and Edyth Broad, eBay’s Jeffery Skoll, AOL co-founder Steve Case, Larry Ellison, cofounder of Oracle; and Google cofounder Sergey Birin—have set the stage for more to follow suit. Last year, Mark Zuckerberg gifted almost $1 billion to the Silicon Valley Foundation, making it the single largest charitable donation on record for 2013, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy.2 It bears repeating that tech-based donors represent one of the fastest growing sectors in U.S. philanthropy today. So where is all this activity taking place? Startup Genome, a research project that compiles data on start-ups around the world, ranks L.A. as the world’s third top start-up location, preceded only by Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv. Technology is not only changing the face of how people give, but to whom. Young technological entrepreneurs who come into significant wealth at an early age may differ in their motivation and expectation for giving from that of previous generations. As a result, it is increasingly important to understand their motivations and expectations for giving, how they use technology to give back during their careers and incorporate social responsibility into their core business model and platform, and lastly, how to effectively address and manage risks and opportunities with their private wealth plan to fulfill their charitable intentions in an enduring and impactful manner. Younger, tech-industry donors are enthusiastic about giving, whether financially or through volunteerism. The media and the Internet have exposed Millennials to other cultures, making them more socially aware. This group is characteristically unafraid to use social media to connect people or solutions to real-world problems, and they want to challenge and encourage others to give and witness results for their efforts. In fact, their passion for results is rooted in a start-up mentality, which tends to favor innovation and a scrappy, can-do attitude. A recent study conducted by PriceWaterhouseCoopers determined that today’s Millennials want to know how their money is being spent. Like 88 percent of Gen-Y workers, who strongly favor corporate social responsibility when selecting their employers, this group of donors take their giving initiatives a step further.3 Tech entrepreneurs are embedding charitable giving into their existing business applications. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, for example, created a 1/1/1 social-giving framework. This model advocates for companies to allocate 1 percent of resources, 1 percent of employees’ time, and 1 percent of profits to charitable causes; so that as the company grows, so does its corporate giving.4 Google, Appirio, and VMWare have embraced and incorporated a similar model. Alternatively, some Tech donors are creating charitable foundations and leveraging technology to foster collaboration among various charities and private individuals with a shared goal. For example, The Case Foundation, founded by Steve Case, created the “Make It Your Own Awards,” in which private individuals were invited to submit “citizen-centered” solutions to solve local community issues. Awardees were selected through a public online voting process, and the winners received a $25K grant for their cause. So what are some of the unique wealth-planning strategies suitable for tech entrepreneurs and donors today? On the business side, tech entrepreneurs may want to consider the legal structure of the organization. One such alternative to LLC and S- and CCorps is the newly legislated B-Corp, otherwise known as a Benefit Corporation. While still operating as a traditional corporation, B-Corps carry an additional certification that verifies a company meets rigorous standards of social responsibility, transparency, and accountability. Their growing popularity has resulted in the creation of over 1000 B-Corps, which exist across 60 differentinindustries.5 On the personal wealth planning side, the sale of a start-up business can generate significant capital gains and personal income tax. The creation of charitable trusts and foundations has the potential to yield not only greater tax savings, resulting in the possibility for

yield not only greater tax savings, resulting in the possibility for more monies allocated for charitable use, but with greater efficiency and giving impact. However, most charitable planning structures need to be in place before a signed letter of intent for the sale of the business is executed. The complexity of corporate sales supports the need for business succession pre-planning years in advance of the intended sale, particularly for Tech entrepreneurs with a charitable intent. Undoubtedly, techies are generating immense wealth and also giving back at an early age—and with immense enthusiasm and commitment. Yet the complexity of today’s legal, financial, and tax landscape underscores the urgency for prudent, comprehensive wealth planning; and working with a trusted wealth advisor and their team of wealth planners, tax, charitable and business advisory specialists.

meaning that their tumors shrank to some degree. Overall, 34 percent of patients showed an objective response, showing that their tumors shrank by more than 30 percent, and did not re-grow. Tom Stutz, 74, was diagnosed in June 2011 with melanoma that had spread to his lung, liver and spine. He didn’t think he could survive, but he decided to enroll in the clinical trial anyway. “I wasn’t eating. I was on oxygen. I couldn’t walk,” he said. “When I went into the hospital at the end of May [2012], I didn’t think I was coming out.” Gradually, though, Stutz started feeling better. Today, he’s no longer on oxygen and walks several miles every day. For information about UCLA’s Keytruda clinical trials, call 888798-0719.

Store and set it for 15-minutes on the kitchen table. Tell the kids when the buzzer goes off, Mommy will return. Give yourself short, undivided, positive attention each day for nourishment. The reason it is so important to take 10-15 to yourself to chill, nourish, and fortify yourself is quite simple. We are so busy in our day-to-day routines that we neglect to realize we often become preoccupied with listening to the voices, needs, and demands of others around us. Those voices may include spouse, children, in-laws, employers, co-workers, and friends. We often automatically (without thought) forfeit, or push aside, our own feelings, needs, and wants. This 10-15 minutes chill time it is our opportunity to tune in, regroup, and connect with our true self. You can lie down and meditate or take a walk around the block. The key is to be in solitude and listen to your own voice. Try to identify how you feel and what you need. Even if you discover you are exhausted. Identifying your feelings, owning them, and knowing what you need to take of yourself is extremely empowering. Dr. Fran Walfish is the author of The Self-Aware Parent at www.DrFranWalfish.com.

Children with undetected hearing loss or poor vision are often misdiagnosed with a learning disability or can lead to a longer learning curve, speech and language delays and even behavioral problems. This is why a comprehensive vision exam and hearing test for your child should be routine as a normal physical or check-up before school starts. “As a parent, it is important to ensure that your child’s vision is at its best,” says Mark Borchert, MD, a pediatric ophthalmologist in

Parents should monitor symptoms and signs of vision problems throughout the school year, especially because eye sight changes as children grow older,” says Borchert. Victoria Mena, AuD, CHLA pediatric audiologist also adds, ”to maximize your child’s communication and learning, it is important to rule out any issues in regard to hearing.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS–Darren

Yvonne Paterson

Joan Mangum It’s one of those evenings I look forward to with excitement and anticipation... This year’s “Carousel of Hope,” the world’s premier charity event benefiting childhood diabetes, hosted biennially by Barbara Davis and presented by Mercedes-Benz (since 2002), is set for its 27th gala Oct. 11 at The Beverly Hilton. It will attract a star-studded crowd to raise awareness and funds for the Barbara Davis Children’s Diabetes Foundation in Denver. The evening’s emcee will be Jay Leno (pictured) while Jennifer Hudson and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds entertain. Music Chairmen Olive Davis and Quincy Jones will make this an unforgettable evening at which ex-basketballer Magic Johnson is the honoree. Since its founding by Marvin and Barbara Davis 37 years ago to honor their daughter Dana Davis, who had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 7, “Carousel of Hope” has raised some $80 million on behalf of The Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes. More than 6,000 children and adults with type 1 diabetes from around the globe visit there annually for specialized care. ****** The Hollywood community once again united to support Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C), which staged its 4th biennial fundraising telecast. Co-executive produced by Gwyneth Paltrow and Joel Gallen of Tenth Planet Productions, the telecast was broadcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, and dozens of cable channels. SU2C raises funds to accelerate the pace of research to get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now. A program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, the charitable organization, was established in 2008 by film and media leaders who utilize the industry’s resources to engage the public in supporting a new, collaborative model of cancer research, and to increase awareness about cancer prevention as well as progress being made in the fight against the disease. Among the many celebrities on-site for the live event held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood... Alison Sweeney, Angie Harmon, Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Hudson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jessica Alba, Joe Manganiello, Jon Hamm, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Bacon, Marg Helgenberger, Maria Menounos, Mark Harmon, Mike Myers, Mira Sorvino, Pierce Brosnan, Reese Witherspoon, Rob Lowe, Sofia Vergara, Ben Stiller, Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Justin Theroux, Kerry Washington, Matthew McConaughey, Melissa McCarthy, Neil Patrick Harris, Robert Downey Jr., Steve Carell, and Will Ferrell. One hundred percent of the donations received from the general public during the show went to support collaborative cancer research programs.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 12). Love moves you to explore and take risks. Right off the bat, you’ll be successful, but in October, more work and money needs to be applied to get the same results. You’ll be awarded in November. Neighbors add to your good fortune in December. January brings respect and promotion within your family and community. Leo and Gemini people adore you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You recognize the rare and wonderful -- no one needs to point it out to you. You appreciate beauty in whatever form it comes to you, and today it will come to you in many forms. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Question everything. It’s not that they’re trying to lie, but there’s so much room for interpretation. The more answers you get the better your interpretation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though you have high expectations for yourself, it takes another person–one you greatly admire–to inspire you to reach greatness within a certain amount of time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Didn’t know any better? In that case, it’s easy to forgive yourself for not doing the right thing. Did know better but still chose wrong–there are deeper reasons. The “right thing” can be pretty complex. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While calculating today's risk, keep in mind statistics are more bendable than facts. And in this age of recommendation, you will probably be better off taking the advice of a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s been said this moment is the only one you know you have for sure. But you are so open to the multidimensionality of your existence that to be sure about any moment may seem like arrogance today. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Your mood is quite methodical and effective. You practice, think and then practice again. This is the way to mastery and to greatness. Block out all distractions. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). The people around you give off false social signals and may in fact need more help than is apparent. One you think has it all together could be more lost than the one you feel you must take care of. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Dating experts suggest doing something scary with an actual or potential mate is the best way to bond. You’ll apply the theory tonight, seeking a mutual thrill. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you ask and then several people rush to give you what you want at once, you know you]re onto something big. Chances are, you’ve earned it, so work this dynamic for as long as it lasts. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a new interest bubbling inside of you, but this one isn't a sure thing. It's an ember of possibility. Fan that tiny inner spark today because it won't catch fire unless you do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is no singular philosophy or method that you can follow to success and happiness today, but there are people who make you feel good about being in the human family. It can’t hurt to follow them.

Talks Books Richard Bausch’s Before, During, After (Knopf $26.95) is one Book Clubs will be discussing with the question, “What would you have done and would you tell?” It takes place in 2001 in Washington, D.C. where Natasha, a 32-year old assistant to a senator, meets 48-year old Michael Faulk. Without realizing it, they spend days exploring Washington and truly fall in love. At their ages, Michael’s divorced and Natasha is getting over a rotten affair–both ripe for marriage. Prior to their wedding in October, Natasha had agreed to a trip to Jamaica with her wealthy, older friend, Constance, and Michael had agreed to be at a friend’s wedding in Manhattan. They are in their respective places when 9/11 occurs. Remember calling relatives, friends, etc. in New York City? The telephone lines that were busy or not operating? Natasha is sure that Michael has been killed. For three days she cannot reach his relatives, nor does she know he was staying in a hotel up on 54th Street. Thus begins “During” section. The hotel on Jamaica is cut off from the world except for the TV which replays the planes attacking the buildings. At such a time liquor is the escape, until it is the poison that excuses everything. That night Natasha walks on the beach where she bumps into Duego, a Cuban hotel guest who lives in Florida. He shares drinks with her, and pot, and with those well-worn words, “You are beautiful, You know we both want this” viciously, he rapes her. “He took a fist full of sand and thrust it down in her face, then took more and held her jaw tight, squeezing and jamming the sand in her mouth and pressing it in…” He defends himself: ”I am not unkind. I would not take what was not given”. Natasha cannot wash away the ugliness, the dirt and horror. Her friend Constance is sure that she saw Natasha and Duego necking and questions her about being faithful to Michael. They are finally able to get plane tickets to return to the states, she has talked to Michael who is alive and going to Memphis where they are planning to wed and live. “After” is where the question comes in:, What should or would she tell? Most women do not reveal or seek legal revenge for being raped, It seems the questions asked by police make the victim into the guilty party.. Michael knows she is different but from what? He is sure she met her ex-lover and rages with jealousy to the point of hitting her. She explodes by telling him: ”I was raped.” To a degree the situation is resolved, but only to a degree. It is a powerful, magnificently-written book. I asked Richard Bausch how he was able to write a woman so accurately? Besides his wife, he had four sisters and five daughters. My interview with Richard Bausch is on YouTube/Connie Martinson Channel.

The Beverly Hills Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is reminding people that Sept. 17-23 is Constitution Week. This year, the week commemorates the 227th anniversary of the document’s signing, and the 223rd anniversary of the ratification of the first 10 amendments, the Bill of Rights. “Our goal is to spread awareness and encourage people to read and and learn about the Constitution and the historical events that led to its framing in September 1787,” said Paige Nesbitt, treasurer of the local chapter. Objectives of the week, as outlined by the DAR include: • “Emphasizing citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution. • “Informing people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and To support the effort, the local chapter has received an official proclamation from the Beverly Hills City Council last month. It has sent classroom posters

to Good Shepherd and Hawthorne schools and contacted all nine public and private schools in Beverly Hills, offering sample proclamations and interesting facts about the Constitution. For instance “Did you know that the Constitution does not give the right to have cases heard by a jury of ‘my’ peers? The Constitution does not have the words ‘separation of church and state’ anywhere in it. The only crime that is defined in the Constitution is treason. The Constitution neither prohibits nor encourages that the president and the vice president be from the same party.” The Beverly Hills Chapter was organized on March 21, 1928. Most members are from the Beverly Hills area and surrounding communities. Nesbitt, who was president of a Children of the American Revolution chapter is excited “that today’s DAR is looking at American Revolutionary history from a holistic perspective. Not just the people we studied in school, but everyone who contributed to the Revolution and that legacy.”

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks

involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.c om for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000004279436. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Saluting March Schwartz- The Courier’s Founder/Publisher By John L. Seitz This past Sunday on the very day that The Courier’s frequent Broadway columnist Joan Rivers was buried in Manhattan, the newspaper’s “family” received the shocking news that its publisher emeritus March Schwartz had succumbed at age 97 after a short illness. Schwartz was born on April 9, 1917 in Philadelphia and attended his hometown University of Pennsylvania. He then stowed away on a boat, ending up in China where he continued his education at St. John’s University and Chenglu University. World War II interrupted both his schooling and life as a new resident of Shanghai. He joined the U.S. Army, rose to the rank of captain in the infantry, and became an aide to Gen. Joseph W. Stillwell in China. Following his duties with “Vinegar Joe”–as his old boss was nicknamed–Schwartz was then assigned as a public relations officer in Washington, D.C. for first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. With the end of the war, he came to California, attended Southwestern Law School and entered the newspaper business which he believes was his destiny. His first job with with the newly formed Los Angeles Mirror for which he became advertising sales manager and later editor of the Mirror-News. After its merger into the Los Angeles Times, he joined The New York Times as advertising manager of its West Coast edition. Schwartz decided the time was ripe for him to go out on his own and establish a new community newspaper in Beverly Hills. These were both accomplished on July

22, 1965 with the first edition of The Courier. In an opening editorial, he stated the newspaper’s first responsibility was to cover events which affected Beverly Hills’ residents and taxpayers fairly and accurately with an emphasis on tax rates, schools and public services. He subsequently became a member of the White House Press Corps in 1978 and covered Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton on both domestic and foreign trips. However, his first love and obligation was to Beverly Hills. He served on the board of the Friars Foundation, was named “Citizen of the Year” by the VBH Chamber of Commerce, and “Man of the Year” by the BH Education Foundation. Schwartz met his wife Linda in 1996 and the pair were constant companions ever since. He has four sons; Bill, Sande, Jef, and Jon Michaels; three daughters, Ronni Land, Robin Beck, and Lori Beck; grandchildren Josh, Kasey Jane, Zack, Sam, Brandon, Dani, Keli, Cory, Christopher, and Jennings; great-grandson Teagan; nephew Barry, niece Rona, grand-niece Fanny, grand-nephew Abe, and three stepchildren: Gray, Beth and Dori Becker. After suffering a debilitating stroke in the early 2000s, he reluctantly gave up the day-to-day operation of The Courier and sold the paper. Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Sunday at Hillside Memorial Park with three rabbis participating: Jerry Cutler, Jacob Pressman and Sanford Shapero. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to anyone’s favorite charity.

THE ACTUAL FATHER OF THIS COLUMN This is a very nostalgic moment for me. My dear friend March Schwartz passed away this week at age 97. He was the publisher of The Beverly Hills Courier, which he founded in 1965. It was he who got me to write my column in the newspaper you’re reading right now. He is also the one person in Los Angeles I have known the longest. We met at the University of Pennsylvania in the class of 1940 and our friendship survived all the years since. In the latter, he unfortunately lost his speech. He cheerfully communicated by giving a thumbs-up to other people’s speech. I always looked forward to his “thumbs-up” to me. Thumbs up, dear old friend, for the extraordinary life you built for yourself! I shall miss you.

REMEMBERING MY FRIEND, MARCH The Beverly Hills Courier family mourns the loss of March Schwartz, and extends our condolences to his entire family. He was successful in building The Courier into one of the most successful “local” newspapers in the country. We have received an outpouring of calls and letters, and yesterday the Los Angeles City Council adjourned with a moment of silence in his memory at the request of Councilman Paul Koretz. March was exceptionally kind to me when we were doing business some three decades ago; but he could turn into a curmudgeon very quickly if someone did not respect The Courier, which by the ‘80s was recognized internationally. We also served together on the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce board after I had convinced them a member of the press was safer to have inside the circle, than be kept out. Now, in a very unexpected turn of events, I find myself as publisher, and am having a very difficult time coming to grips with the loss of both he and Paula Kent Meehan in a matter of months– both in different ways very important in my life. You mourn them as dedicated community builders and outstanding citizens; and I mourn them simply as friends and mentors who changed my life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR The passing of March Schwartz evokes so many memories. One of my first tasks as a publicist working for PR firms in 1979-1980 was to pitch Beverly Hills stories to the newspaper. After leaving Rogers & Cowan and starting my own firm, March was helpful. But it wasn't until after I was selected to work in the White House press office in 1989-92 that he began to know me. I remember his New Year’s day parties in Palm Springs where once he introduced me to the beautiful Christie Brinkley. March called me one day in my White House office as he did so many other presidential press offices over his years. He was on the White House Press Corps list and proud of it. When President George H. W. Bush was hailed by the nation for winning the Iraq war in 1991, Universal and producer George Schlatter produced an ABC-TV special for the entire administration at Universal Amphitheater. I was on the White House press staff for this event and on the desk that received thousands of calls (no-e-mails then) for press credentials. March was one of them. With great pleasure, I told him it was me when he called for his credentials. He was amazed. At the opening of the popular Beverly Hills restaurant Crustacean, which March helped put on the map, he made a lifelong impression on me. One of our red carpet opening nights at Crustacean was a tribute to George Barris-booksigning and car show right out on the street. The theme was 1960s hot rod and March came in his cool H.S. letter Jacket and khakis with Bass Weejun slip on shoes right out of the film American Graffiti. He dressed the part and we were pleased. I never saw him dress casual like that again. March Schwartz brought his weekly newspaper into the 21st Century with a bang. His front page editorials were required reading. The Courier, due to his smart sale to Clifton Smith (2004-2014 publisher) and now Marcia Hobbs, was genius. Although he was reduced to a stroked up aging guy with a happy smile in a wheelchair, his mind was sharp as a tack. Those who were here before that stroke knew what kind of an award winning newspaperman he was. “The king is dead–long live the king.” Edward Lozzi
