Courier Exclusive: Bosse Announces Candidacy

Lili Bosse
By Ana Figueroa In an exclusive interview with the Courier, the Honorable Lili Bosse has announced her candidacy for the March 2020 City Council Election and her intention to run a grassroots campaign. Beverly Hills is Bosse's hometown and she has served the community in many positions over her lifetime. Bosse tells the Courier that her personal history as the only child of Holocaust survivors created her abiding sense of the importance of community and public service.
As mayor, Bosse initiated her Beverly Hills Healthy City program to address residential quality of life; transparency and efficiency in government; and a vibrant, successful business sector - healthy people, healthy government, healthy businesses. "I'm excited to continue the job I've been doing for our city,” Bosse tells the Courier. “I believe in positive, inclusive leadership and I believe that our community values my level of preparation, my work ethic and my grasp of the issues facing our city. We've achieved many of our goals, but now is the time to stay focused on our future - protecting our neighborhoods, supporting our business sector and constantly improving our city government. We have to be creative and flexible in today's challenging environment.” Bosse adds, "I'm going to campaign and work hard for every vote and I'm looking forward to a healthy, successful future for our beloved Beverly Hills."
City Council Denies Metro Request To Work During Holiday Season By Laura Coleman On Tuesday evening, the Beverly Hills City Council unanimously shot down a request by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to permit work during the holiday moratorium. The City Council had approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Metro in February for the design-build of the Wilshire/Rodeo Station in Section 2 of the Purple Line Extension project, which included holiday moratorium dates in which no work is permitted. “We negotiated the deal the way we did to protect our community,” Mayor John Mirisch underscored just before the council voted.
Metro had submitted a request to the city to waive the 2019 holiday moratorium between Thanksgiving Day through New Year's Day to allow the Rodeo Station piling work to continue. During the holiday moratorium, Metro is required to maintain all traffic lanes on Wilshire Boulevard, therefore requiring the removal of the K-rail used during piling activities. “I don’t see a compelling reason to do it,” Councilman Julian Gold said. “But I do think there is a compelling reason not to do it, in that this holiday season coming is critical to our businesses and we want to make sure we do everything we can to make that successful.” TRUMP IN TOWN– President Donald Trump’s swing through the Southland on Sept. 17 included a fundraiser in Beverly Hills which spawned both pro and antiTrump demonstrations in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Large Turnout at the Neighborhood Watch Meeting Following Weekend Burglary
From Left: Sergeant Dave Dimond, Dr. Daniel Nazarian, Councilmember Julian A. Gold, Chief Sandra Spagnoli, Dr. Sharona R. Nazarian, Shirin Kahenassa, Councilmember Robert Wunderlich, Councilmember Lili Bosse, Councilmember Lester Friedman, and Captain Mark Miner.
By Sandra Sims An impromptu Neighborhood Watch Meeting took place on Sept. 16 at the City Hall Council Chambers. The Courier was in attendance at the meeting, in which a capacity crowd of concerned residents gathered following a residential burglary that temporarily shut down Rodeo Drive on Sept. 15. The Neighborhood Watch meeting was hosted by Beverly Hills residents Sharona Nazarian (current chair of the Commission on Alcohol and Other Drugs in Los Angeles County) and her husband Daniel Nazarian (current Vice Chair of the Beverly Hills Health and Safety Commission). In addition to residents, members of the City Council, the Mayor, City Attorney, City Manager, Police Chief Sandra Spagnoli and a handful of additional officers from the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) were in attendance. Sharona Nazarian opened the meeting by describing it as a platform for residents to voice concerns; obtain information shared by the police department about what is being done to protect residents; and find a positive course of action going forward. Chief Spagnoli and members of her department provided information via a slide show prepared by Sergeant Shawn Smollen regarding crime prevention, trends, and statistics. The chief told the Courier that she felt it important to have a team of officers present. “It’s great to get the answers from the boots on the ground and hear officers, the men and women in the department, the civilians who are really doing the job that can tell you with first-hand knowledge about everything going on in the community. So, we have a
team approach here. One team, one mission. This is about delivering that one team, one mission to the community,” said Spagnoli. Residential Burglaries Members of the BHPD told attendees that the most active days and times for residential burglaries are Wednesday and Thursday at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. According to Chief Spagnoli, the department has reduced its average response time to three minutes or less. The chief also stated that at least two patrol units are deployed in the flats each shift. Additionally, there are undercover units, a K-9 Unit and officer, as well as a citywide patrol officer. “Our shifts on the street are our priority,” Spagnoli told the audience. The Sept. 15 burglary that spawned the meeting took place at approximately 12:22 p.m. on the 500 block of N. Rexford Dr. A male adult suspect entered the residence and was confronted by a resident of the home. The resident fled the location and called the police, who quickly arrived and set a perimeter while verifying the suspect was still inside the home. The suspect refused police commands to exit the home, so additional resources were requested including the Beverly Hills Police SWAT team and LAPD air support. The suspect was heavily intoxicated and found hiding inside the home. He was taken into custody and charged with residential burglary and resisting arrest. Crime Trends and Statistics The BHPD also reported some city crime statistics at the meeting. The average number of homes burglarized has decreased to 12 per month as compared to 16 per month in 2018 and 18 per month in 2017.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE LA BREA SUBAREA WELL AND TRANSMISSION MAIN PROJECT PROJECT: La Brea Subarea Well and Transmission Main Project PROJECT LOCATION: Los Angeles and Beverly Hills The City of Beverly Hills (City) as the Lead Agency has prepared a Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the La Brea Subarea Well and Transmission Main Project (project), pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. The proposed project would include the construction of a groundwater production well in the La Brea Subarea, the rehabilitation of existing (inactive) 18- and 24-inch pipelines, and the connection of the rehabilitated pipelines to a newly constructed raw water transmission main with a diameter of 16-inches (collectively referred to as the “proposed transmission main”). The proposed transmission main would connect the proposed production well to the City’s existing Foothill Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for treatment and supply. The project will support improvement of local water supply reliability for the City by developing up to 1,700 acre feet per year (AFY) of new potable water supply. While there may be a need to develop additional wells in the area to accomplish the proposed water production goal, the location and timing of any such wells is unknown at this time. The proposed project would be located within two jurisdictions; the City of Beverly Hills and the City of Los Angeles. The City has prepared an Initial Study to provide the public, trustee and responsible agencies with information about the potential effects on the local and regional environment associated with the proposed project. The IS/MND describes potentially significant impacts on biological resources, cultural resources, geology, soils, and seismicity, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, transportation, and wildfire. Mitigation measures have been identified for these environmental topics to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Effects found to be less than significant and those with no environmental impacts are also described in the IS/MND. The IS/MND concludes that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The City will consider adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project. Public Comment on Draft IS/MND: A 30-day public review period for the Draft IS/MND will begin on September 23, 2019. Written comments will be accepted by the City until 5:00 p.m. on October 23, 2019. The City will consider the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration at a regularly scheduled meeting following the 30-day review period. Comments may be submitted in writing to: Department of Public Works- Engineering Division Attention: Tristan Malabanan, P.E., Project Manager 345 Foothill Road Beverly Hills, CA 90210 Email: AskPW@beverlyhills.org Or by phone to: Phone: (310) 285-2467 (BH Public Works Customer Service).

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 10, 2019 TIME: 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280A Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, October 10, 2019, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider:
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS ADOPTING LOCAL CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS AND ADOPTING LOCAL TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES Based upon the requirements of California Senate Bill (SB) 743, which was signed into law on September 27, 2013, the City of Beverly Hills is required to re-evaluate the criteria that is used for analyzing transportation impacts for the purposes of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review of projects. State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 requires that jurisdictions use “Vehicle Miles Travelled” as the metric to analyze the transportation impacts of land use and transportation projects. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 also requires that jurisdictions adopt the Vehicle Miles Travelled metric as the standard for project review by July 1, 2020. On July 25, 2019, the Planning Commission held a study session to discuss compliance with the requirements of SB 743 and provided direction to staff to draft new CEQA transportation impact thresholds for the City. The Commission also provided staff direction regarding developing Local Transportation Assessment Guidelines for the City that continue to use the Level of Service (“LOS”) metric to evaluate intersections in the vicinity of proposed land use projects. At the July 25, 2019 Planning Commission meeting the Planning Commission created an Ad Hoc Subcommittee with the purpose of discussing the issue in detail and providing further direction to staff. The Ad Hoc Subcommittee met on August 13, 2019. Based upon the direction provided by the Planning Commission and Ad Hoc Subcommittee, new CEQA thresholds of significance for traffic impacts and a new document containing Local Transportation Assessment Guidelines have been drafted. On October 10, 2019, the Planning Commission will consider a Resolution to adopt both the CEQA thresholds of significance for transportation impacts and Local Transportation Assessment Guidelines. This Resolution was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The adoption of new local CEQA thresholds of significance for transportation impacts and adoption of Local Transportation Assessment Guidelines will not have a significant environmental impact and are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because the two actions are undertaken by the City of Beverly Hills for the protection of the environment. The revised CEQA thresholds will be compliant with a State mandate (SB 743) and will be used in a regulatory process (CEQA process) that involves procedures for the protection of the environment. The new Local Transportation Assessment Guidelines will provide the City with project specific transportation information that can be used in the local regulatory process in which protection of the environment is considered. Accordingly, the Planning Commission will consider the recommendation to find the Resolution exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15308 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing. If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Masa Alkire, Principal Planner in the Planning Division at (310) 285-1135, or by email at malkire@beverlyhills.org. The case file, including associated documents are on file in the Community Development Department, and can be reviewed by any interested person at 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. Sincerely, Masa Alkire, AICP, Principal Planner Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of Beverly Hills will make reasonable efforts to accommodate persons with disabilities. If you require special assistance, please call (310) 285-1122 (voice) or (310) 285-6881 (TTY). Providing at least forty-eight (48) hours advance notice will help to ensure availability of services. City Hall, including the Council Chamber and Room 280A, is wheelchair accessible. The City Hall Council Chamber and Room 280A are also equipped with audio equipment for the hearing impaired.

Beverly Vista Middle School Update
Beverly Vista Middle School Principal Kevin Allen
By Sandra Sims The Beverly Hills Courier checked in with Beverly Vista Middle School to see how students, parents, and staff are adjusting five weeks after the new school opened its doors for the 2019-2020 Academic year. Beverly Vista Middle School Principal Kevin Allen told the Courier, “Last week we rolled out club day and this week we’ve started our athletic programs.” Allen spoke with the Courier about highlights and challenges as students and staff/teachers embark on their new path. He explained that the students have a positive attitude about the new learning environment. “The teachers have noticed the positive changes as well,” he said. Highlights Beverly Vista’s 17 new student clubs include photography, Japanese Anime, foreign language, color guard, ukulele, mindfulness/meditation club, and a tech club called “techperts” where 6th, 7th and
8th graders come together to “trouble shoot” and help teachers with computer issues. "It empowers students when they can teach the teachers," commented Allen. This week marked the start of the new athletic program for volleyball, football and cross training. Overcoming Challenges Principal Allen discussed initial challenges with traffic near the school campus when parents are dropping off and picking up their children from school. Allen told the Courier, "Traffic patterns are starting to be established." He stated that drop off is easier than pick up because pick up involves parents having to locate their children after the school session ends. “We are redeploying traffic guards at different areas to meet the needs,” Allen explained. Allen also stated that students, parents, and staff are still adjusting to using the new learning management system and the Positive Behavior initiative as well. "It's a learning process,” he noted. Parent Involvement Principal Allen stated that in addition to new activities for students, parents are also adapting to the changes and school counselors are working with parents to help with student emotional awareness. "We show them how to have healthy conversations with their kids. Counselors are really focusing on teaching parents as well as students,” he said. The Courier also attended the Beverly Vista PTA Sept. 16 meeting. The agenda included a discussion about upcoming events as well as the PTA App that allows parents to have a "one stop" place to get
updates, shop spirit wear online, as well as access a directory, calendar of events and volunteer information. Beverly Vista PTA Executive President Tina Weiner stated that one of the highlights for the PTA is the partnership with Beverly Vista Middle School and Beverly Hills High School to present an educational program for parents called Social Emotional Wellness Talks. "It’s part of our commitment to parent education," said Weiner. Upcoming Events Allen discussed upcoming campus events including the Science Fair and Student Camps. Astro Camp is the first camp experience taking place this weekend for sixth graders to learn space
technology. Seventh and eighth grade camps begin in March. All in all, Allen believes the students are adapting very well to their new environment. “They [students] have done a really great job of adjusting and making the shift to a middle school. I look forward to watching them continue to build the culture as a team,” he said. Allen also addressed the concerns some members of the community initially had about the middle school. “This was the right thing to do, and I know that there was a lot of concern in the community. I feel that we actually did something good for kids in the City of Beverly Hills,” he said.

NEWS City of Beverly Hills Looks to Improve With Trust and Innovation Portal By Laura Coleman In an effort to improve itself, on Tuesday the City of Beverly Hills introduced the Trust & Innovation Portal (TIP) at www.beverlyhills.org/tip. An online tool designed to encourage residents and employees to share innovative ideas about improving city services and report suspected cases of improper activity in city operations, TIP is intended to improve local governance. “TIP enhances trust by safeguarding
public monies and resources and holding city officials and employees accountable as stewards,” states the city’s TIP website, which went live on Tuesday. In addition to serving as a vehicle to hold city staff accountable, TIP is also intended to encourage residents and employees to share ideas. “I think people in the city will really appreciate having this,” Councilman Julian Gold said at the Sept. 17 City Council Meeting.
The site is managed by the newly created Office of the City Auditor, which is helmed by City Auditor Eduardo Luna. During the hearing, Luna stated that his office would investigate all complaints of improper activities and depending on the nature of the issue could report findings to city management or law enforcement. “I really want people to feel that when they reach out to this portal, they’ll be heard,” said Councilwoman Lili Bosse, who underscored the importance of
having the office respond to everyone who reaches out. “I think people want to feel like there’s going to be action.” Luna said that everyone who reached out would receive a response. “My plan is to investigate all complaints of improper activities,” Luna said. In addition to the website, the public can submit tips or ideas by phone at 310-288-2TIP or by emailing tip@beverlyhills.org.

Manouchehri specializes in business and real estate law. Fischer is a real estate specialist. “We have a shared commitment to excellent client service,” said Fischer. Manouchehri added, “Together, we offer a powerful and strategic combination.”
By Laura Coleman The City Council unanimously voted to remove the existing new hotel room cap from the Beverly Hills Municipal Code at Tuesday’s formal meeting. The ordinance, No. 84-0-1937, was created in 1984 and established regulations for hotel development in the city, including the prohibition of building more than 1,000 new hotel rooms. Today, the city is edging close to the limit that was created 25 years ago. There are approximately 2,300 hotel rooms in the city.
Tuesday’s vote followed the July 25 Planning Commission public hearing where the commission unanimously recommended the draft ordinance removing the 1,000-limit cap move to the City Council for consideration. “This does follow the direction that we gave,” Councilman Bob Wunderlich said before the council’s 5-0 vote in support. “We spoke about the old number being arbitrary and changing with the economic times. We always can deal with the number of rooms changing with a conditional use permit. I support this.”

THE SCENE Alex’s Lemonade Culinary Event Celebrates 10th Year with UCLA Bash
By Carole Dixon The bucolic surroundings of UCLA’s Royce Quad once again provided the backdrop for what devoted foodies call “the best culinary event of the year.” This annual food fest brings together celebrities along with the crème de la crème of top chefs from Los Angeles and across the country who donate their time and talents to fight the battle against pediatric cancer. Hosts chef Suzanne Goin, Caroline Styne (The Lucques Group), and David Lentz all hit the stage during the auction, along with MC Billy Harris to raise more than $1.2 million. Items auctioned included a trip to Tuscany with a dinner and lunch at chef Nancy Silverton’s villa and a movie night with “Everybody Loves Phil” host Phil Rosenthal at his home before a flight to Mexico City for an eating adventure. Even pop-star Pink was part of an auction item to personally pour her Two Wolves Estate wines at a Rosewood Montecito dinner with Michelin-starred L.A. chefs Michael Cimarusti and Josiah Citrin. The Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl’s Back Beat BBQ party at a legendary recording studio with Food Network chef and fellow musician Bruce Kalman brought in approximately $70,000. Return supporters in attendance included Joe Mantegna, Timothy Olyphant, Laura Dern, Nolan Gould, Camilla Belle, and Kirsten Vangsness. Long-time supporter, talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel took to the stage and donated a chef’s dinner at his home with Adam Perry Lang, Christ Bianco and Marc Vetri. The bidding raised $80,000 before Kimmel and wife Molly McNearney added an extra $20,000 to keep consistent with their past record of raising $100,000. The Courier spotted the Beverly Hills Hotel crew and chef Michael Santoro, who were handing out an interesting combo of beet and blood orange soft serve to help ease the 90-plus-degree heat. Ludo Lefebvre was not at the Montage for the final days of his residency but at the event. He handed out a crispy parmesan treat for the crowd and posed for selfies with fans. Chefs Brian Rigsby and Andrea Shirey were serving Colman pork with bourbon peaches and pecans before gearing up to cook this Saturday for the FX Networks and Vanity Fair Emmy Awards bash at Craft in Century City. The Courier also caught up with chef Michael Fiorelli grilling skirt steak.

Chef Wolfgang Puck and His Endless Summer Barbecue Tips
Wolfgang Puck in his glory at the end of the Summer Bel Air BBQ
By Carole Dixon Wolfgang Puck may have licensed restaurants around the globe from Singapore to Cincinnati, including a portfolio of 26 fine dining venues, but he is still a Beverly Hills treasure with three local eateries. When most would consider slowing down, the James Beard and Emmy award-winning Puck is just getting started. He’s gearing up to open multiple concepts in the Pendry Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood early next year. In many respects, Puck has come full circle. The new property will be very close to where he started his journey to legendary epicurean status when he opened the original Spago in West Hollywood 35 years ago. Tucked up on a hillside adjacent to Tower Records on Sunset, the late-great power agent Swifty Lazar started hosting Oscar parties at this venue in the 1980’s. The rest is culinary history. The unflappable chef still cooks every year for the 1,500 VIP guests at the Governor’s Ball following the Academy Awards. Puck’s famous smoked salmon pizza changed the way America looked at California cuisine. It also redefined fine dining in America, so a permanent move
into a chicer and larger flagship location on Canon Drive in Beverly Hills seemed to be the natural progression. These days, whether you’re on the patio for lunch at Spago (yes, they still have that pizza), in the sleek Richard Meier-designed dining room at Cut waiting to slice into a Wagyu steak or sitting by the cozy fire at Hotel Bel Air, it’s absolutely uncanny how the world’s most famous chef will breeze though the space shaking hands, air kissing friends and waving across the room to delighted diners. After all these years, Puck still manages to cook, teach and socialize with the energy of the hottest Saturday night party in town. He also seems to be everywhere at once. And, that’s not to mention WP24 downtown at the Ritz Carlton, a test kitchen in the Pacific Design Center or his second L.A. eatery, Chinois in Santa Monica. Despite his unquestioned success, the chef is not in it simply for the limelight and adulation. An exhaustible humanitarian, Puck has hosted an end-of-the summer barbecue for the past five years with executive chef Hugo Bolanos. The event at the Hotel Bel-Air combines Puck’s love of grilled meats on an open-flame with his
Wolfgang Puck’s Top Five Barbecue Tips: 1. Light your fire: Light the briquettes at least one hour before you expect to grill. You want to grill only over red-hot coals, not over direct flame. Be Patient! Good food takes time. 2. Tis’ the season: Another thing to do one hour prior to grilling is to season the meat. Flavors need sufficient time to permeate the meat properly. Rub your meat with a little oil before you grill as this will prevent the meat from sticking to the grill. 3. Be patient: Allow the meat to come to room temperature before cooking. This will lower the cooking time as well as aid in even cooking of the meat.
4. Let’s get to grilling: Start by cooking meat on high heat first because this will sear in all of the juices and start the caramelization. Don’t move the meat around a lot because this will not help it cook. Let the grill do the work. Once the meat is seared, move to medium heat. This will cook the meat evenly without drying it out. 5. Rest assured: Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes pulling it off the grill. This will help keep all of the good juices in. This will also give you time to get all of the sides and sauces on the table before you serve your dish.
charitable passions. A portion of the proceeds benefits The Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and all excess prepared food is redistributed to those in need through the Chefs to End Hunger Initiative. This year, other acclaimed chefs such as Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo (Jon & Vinny’s), Burt Bakman (SLAB), Evan Funke (Felix), Tim Hollingsworth (Otium), and Francis Mallmann, creator of Los Fuegos restaurant at Faena Hotel Miami Beach, joined the party. The carnivore’s dream ticket encompassed a causal evening on the hotel front lawn not far from the famous floating swans. The atmosphere felt more like the chef’s private backyard, complete with smoke billowing from the grill and guests spilling a few cocktails while trying to jug-
gle various samples of delicacies on the bone. The Courier caught up with Puck at the festive barbecue to find out the secret to his perfectly charred and seared cuts of beef. Try these at home during the real summer months in Los Angeles, September and October. For master chef Puck, California grilling is not limited to the seasons. “I grill at home all the time,” he tells the Courier. “My favorite cut of meat to grill is the Porterhouse steak, which is perfect to share with my family, or a grass-fed tenderloin. My children absolutely love the grass-fed tenderloin. Aside from red meat, I love grilling butterfly chicken, it’s so juicy when it’s grilled.”

At The Virginia Robinson Gardens The warm summer nights provided the perfect accompaniment to two extraordinary galas held this month at Beverly Hills’ first estate, the historic Virginia Robinson Gardens. Built in 1911, the onetime residence of Virginia and Harry Robinson contains a breathtaking array of gorgeous flora stretching across six acres that once provided the backdrop for elegant soirees where Hollywood stars like Fred Astaire, Sophia Loren and Charlie Chaplin sipped champagne well into the wee hours of dawn. This past Saturday the Friends of Robinson Gardens, which are dedicated to continuing Mrs. Robinson’s legacy of helping children, held their annual Patron Gala to the theme of “Rick’s Café Américain” á la “Casablanca.” The previous weekend, El Nido Family Centers held its fifth annual Garden Gala on the property, honoring international law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP with the Community Impact Award.

A RT S & E N T E RTA I N M E N T Paley Fest 2019 Comes to a Close By Sandra Sims The PaleyFest 13th Annual Fall TV Previews came to a close this past weekend, Sept. 14-15. The Courier checked in on the Saturday session at the Paley Center for Media Los Angeles. Events included a screening and panel discussion with the cast of ABC’s new series, “Mixedish.” “Mixed-ish” is a spin-off of the ABC hit series “Blackish,” starring Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson. Debuting on Sept. 24, “Mixed-ish” is set in the 1980’s and follows Ross’ character, Rainbow, during her youth. A mixed-race teen, Rainbow finds herself with the growing pains of moving from a “hippie” commune to mainstream America. “We get to tackle some issues that haven’t been seen on television before. I want people to be invested in the characters, said actress Tika Sumpter, who plays
Rainbow’s mother and is best known for her work on OWN’s “The Have and the Have Nots.” During the panel discussion, “Mixedish” Executive Producer Peter Saji noted, “We want to tell honest and fair stories. It’s a show about otherness, about not quite fitting in.” Veteran stage and television actor, Gary Cole (“VEEP,” “The Good Wife”) plays the character of Harrison Johnson, Rainbow’s grandfather. He spoke about why he joined the “Mixed-ish” cast. “A great script, one of the most unique scripts I’ve seen in years,” Cole observed. The Fest concluded on Sunday, Sept. 15 with a screening and panel discussion of season two of the Netflix crime thriller, “Mindhunter.” It’s based on the true-crime book, “Mindhunter: Inside the FBI Elite Serial Crime Unit” by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker.

R E A L E S TAT E The most important movie you’ll ever make won’t be a blockbuster. It won’t debut at any film festival or attract a gaggle of red-carpet photographers. In fact, it may not ever be seen by anyone but you. And, that’s a good thing. The most important movie you’ll ever make will document your home and all of its contents. In the event of fire, earthquake, water intrusion or a burglary, you’ll be able to authenticate your loss claims much easier. September is National Preparedness Month, and the Courier is continuing its focus on the fundamentals of planning ahead for emergencies. (In case you missed last week’s feature on pet safety, you can find it online at www.bhcourier.com.) We’ve reached out to Richard Cassel (www.casselphotography.com) an expert with three decades of experience in commercial photography. He specializes in documentation videography for insurance purposes. Cassel offers this practical advice for homeowners: If you have ever dealt with a major property loss or know someone who has, chances are that you or they were asked by an insurance adjuster if there was documentation to support their claim. Too many claimants find out
after the fact that their insurance settlements would have been much easier and often times much higher if only there was a record of what was lost. The average home contains thousands of items, including fine artwork, china, silver and crystal collections, home entertainment systems, custom furnishings and antiques, imported rugs, fine wine collections, designer couture and accessories, to name but a few categories. Most people assume that if they have premium insurance, their insurance will cover whatever they lose. But answer this question. What did you lose? Without accurate records, that question is difficult, if not impossible, to answer. Yes, you might have great coverage, but an adjuster working a claim does not have a secret database showing what was in your home before it burned down or fell over in an
Richard Cassel
earthquake. A typical homeowner’s policy will allocate half of the rebuild cost of a home to contents. The problem is that even if an insurance carrier is willing to pay out the entire content coverage, how are you going to go about the daunting task of replacing everything in your home? The answer is to document your property. This can be done in a number of ways, from having a full set of receipts showing everything you ever purchased, to photographs of these items, to elaborate detailed spreadsheets. But, the most efficient way to document your property is with video. For those convinced that receipts are the way to go, remember, many receipts only show the amount spent and not what was purchased. Your credit card bill may state that you spent $500 at Geary’s. But it won’t itemize those purchases. Even if you’re a diligent receiptkeeper, and you keep them in a home office, they won’t survive a fire. The efficacy of video for home documentation is hard to
argue with. To make your own home documentation, start with a short clip showing a newspaper or computer screen indicating the date you are doing the documentation. Before an insurance adjuster hands over a check for the contents of your home, they will ask, “When did you shoot this video?” Go through your home one room at a time. Start with a slow pan around the room to show the room in its entirety. Then go cabinet by cabinet, drawer by drawer. Keep your video clips short, no more than 45 seconds each. If the day comes when you have to use the video record to establish a claim, you don’t want one 50-minute clip of one wing of your home. You won’t know what’s on the clip without watching the entire 50 minutes. Digital video cameras create a new clip every time you stop and start. When you put the media card from the camera into a computer, you see the first image of each clip laid out on your screen. By keeping the clips short, you can easily locate a certain room, cabinet or closet. This is especially valuable in burglary claims when only high value items are taken. Speaking of high-value items, modern video cameras are great at showing detail. Valuable paintings usually have signatures, major appliances have bar codes,
most fine crystal and china have etchings and manufacturer stamps and home electronics have model numbers on faceplates. A thorough home documentation on high-definition video will generate about a gigabyte per thousand square feet. Even if you are being incredibly detailed, you probably won’t exceed two gigabytes/thousand square feet. That means that a 10,000 square-foot home will generate approximately 20 gb. That’s well within the range of over-the-counter USB flash drives. When you finish your documentation, simply copy it to removable media or the cloud. The important thing is to make copies and store them away from your home. The bottom line when settling insurance claims is to minimize what can be disputed. Remember, insurance companies make money collecting premiums, not paying claims. Even in the rare cases where they want to pay out, ask yourself what it is that you want replaced? Without documentation, you won’t know where to start. As a professional photographer, I document property for my clients. In the same way that you cannot buy more insurance after a loss, you can’t document your property after it’s gone. Richard Cassel

This year will be a call to action to take our community into the world to celebrate all people and
to see the world with new perspectives recognizing what connects us to people everywhere.” The Willows first opened its doors on Sept. 18, 1994, welcoming 93 students in a single building. Now 25 years later, The Willows extends across a fouracre, six-building campus educating 474 students from across the county and is currently developing a multipurpose field.

NEIGHBORHOOD (Continued from page 1)
Detective Bureau reported that August was the most active month in 2019 for residential burglaries. Officers reminded attendees that in 2019 some of these burglaries could have been avoided if residents remembered to secure their homes. Twenty-eight percent of the residences affected were unsecured. Home Protection BHPD Sergeant Smollen informed residents that he and his team provide free home inspections that include checks of alarm systems. He encouraged residents to take advantage of new technology that allows them to surveil one’s home over the phone. He also emphasized the need for alarm systems on every level of the home. Another piece of advice: check motion lights and consider the use of wireless timers. Sergeant Smollen referred to these techniques as “crime prevention through environmental design.” Question and Answers During a Q&A session, many residents expressed concerns about the number of working cameras available for surveillance in the Beverly Hills community. Captain Moreno reported that there are currently 1,000 operational surveillance cameras. Some 1,288 cameras are expected by the end of 2019. The cameras are portable and can be operated in a solar wireless capacity. Chief Spagnoli stated that the department is working on adding more cameras in areas such as alleys. However, they also want to focus on major thoroughfares where more crimes are taking place. The chief also stated that at the request of the City Council, BHPD implemented the body camera for police officers. As part of the program, officers can send residents a link if crimes are committed in their area. Residents can also download their own video footage into that link and BHPD will get it immediately. A related question was asked regarding the use of drones. The chief indicated that BHPD has received approval for a drone program which the department is in the process of researching before starting implementation of the program. Another resident expressed concern
about school safety and the homeless population around Beverly Drive near the Beverly Vista Middle School. Chief Spagnoli responded that there are two permanent police officers assigned to district schools, two school resource officers and also “adopt a school” officers that visit the schools. “Although there are some traffic issues with the middle school, from a public safety perspective it’s better,” said Spagnoli. One resident expressed concern for what she called poor police attendance due to low morale and pending litigation against the chief. Chief Spagnoli countered by stating, “There is high morale and they [police officers] love coming to work.” Chief Spagnoli stated that the vacancies in her department are due to attrition. Another resident stated that there should be more police officers patrolling the community throughout the day. The new Metro construction was also a concern for one resident, who worried about public safety issues. The chief responded that her department is working with the City Council as well as other law enforcement agencies on plans to patrol the rails. Social Media The BHPD also discussed the importance of social media such as crimemapping.com to find out where certain crimes are taking place. The department also informed attendees that they can keep in contact with law enforcement by using their social media platforms, NIXLE Anonymous tips, and the Beverly Hills Police App that can be downloaded on Android phones and iPhones. The department encouraged residents to call when they see something suspicious, stressing that “no call is too small.” As for the central question of whether there are enough officers patrolling Beverly Hills, the chief responded: “We have more than enough police officers per capita. Crime rates are going down and arrests are going up.” Sharona Nazarian shared with the Courier her reflections regarding the meeting, “I wanted to help bridge the concerns of the residents with what our Police department is doing to prevent crime in our neighborhoods.” The Courier also heard from other attendees who expressed frustration that their specfic safety concerns were not addressed.

RED CARPET BEAUTY Beauty: Top Treatments for On and Off the Red Carpet By Carole Dixon With the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards airing live this Sunday, Sept. 22nd from the Microsoft Theatre downtown, our city is in an aesthetic flurry trying to make sure everyone looks their best on the red carpet - and at all the proceeding A-list events, parties and dinners leading up to televisions big night. We combed the city to find some of the best places to rejuvenate with the latest treatments and trends whether you want to look thinner, younger, sexier or just ‘flake’ free. Spoiler alert: we found simple earthy ingredients such as salt to be trending along with plain-old relaxation and well-being. Good things Come in Threes One name that always comes up constantly in cosmetic circles – past clients have included everyone from Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman to the
Kardashian reality clan – is Dr. Ava Shamban at AVA MD BH who shared with the Courier her one-two-three punch for a picture-perfect red-carpet-ready look for the full body. For the “big picture,” Dr. Ava recommends a triple dose of these treatments: EmSculpt, Z Wave and Ballancer Pro Body Trio to give a little instant boost to your bottom line, your belly or thighs. This trifecta, when done in tandem, is the best in body boosting protocol for an important occasion or a big red carpet-reveal. 1) EmSculpt is a muscle contractor that is equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups per session which also can be used as a buttock lifter to offer a sleek physique for a black-tie gown. 2) Z Wave by Zimmer breaks up adipose tissue and smooths skin surface using a soundwave therapy system of pulse technol-
ogy to eliminate cellulite and temporarily reduce the appearance of bumps or lumps. 3) Ballancer pro moves water, metabolic waste, fat, sludge, and unnecessary biproducts in the cells through the lymphatic system eliminating them and the excess fluid and inches. This is achieved by slipping a full-body spacesuit for close to an hour for the treatment, and then you should be able to slip into that form-fitting cocktail dress.

Wellness is Key at Waldorf Since launching this welcome addition to the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevard, The Waldorf Astoria La Prairie spa director, Amanda Raich, believes in a more holistic and relaxing approach to beauty which fits in well with the calming aesthetic in the spa. This year, awards season comes just in time for their new wellness menu which offers guests an opportunity to go beyond a traditional spa menu with services such as chakra balancing, cupping, reiki, and a Himalayan salt stone massage. “We wanted to create a safe space for our guests to connect with themselves and have a deep and meaningful experience in a luxurious spa setting,” says Raich. “For the red carpet, it is our belief that you glow from within when you have a balanced and aligned spirit, that, and our La Praire Radiance facial.

You can head to that event in your low-cut gown with plump, lifted, tightened and smooth skin to show off your best features in a strapless silhouette.

According to Raich, “The day before, we get the most requests for nails and for massages to relax ahead of the actual day because it’s a long day. The day of the show, it is all about hair, make-up, and getting red carpet ready. And, while they remain tight-lipped on famous faces in the spa, the brand has a long list of celebrity fans that use their foundations and skincare for the award shows including Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham. https://www.waldorfastoriabeverlyhills.com/spa-health/.

According to Dr. Ava, "Salt is ultra-healing, alkaline and known for its ability to draw out impurities and prepare the skin cells to best receive topicals. Sea salt is super rich in magnesium, calcium potassium and zinc which are key for cellular functions and balance. And, the salt will help deep clean pores and thwart bacteria that causes summer blemishes and acne breakouts." https://avamd.com.

Add Charcoal to Your Scalp Yes, your skin must glow on the carpet, but your hair should also be a crowning jewel of your look. Fortunately, Kazumi Morton at Salon Kazumi has you covered. You don’t want a dry, flaky scalp showing up on your black-tie Balmain gown, do you? The all-white tranquil Salon Kazumi in Beverly Hills features an exclusive Japanese “Sumi” used on the scalp in the form of a blue-hued bamboo charcoal (which is considered a blessing from the Forrest), paste mask which detoxifies, along with soothing eucalyptus that relaxes, calms, and hydrates the scalp. Outside of Japan, it is only available at her salon. “It is very important to exfoliate your scalp to promote healthy hair follicles,” says Kazumi. “Healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp. People don’t think about their scalp too much but it’s an extension of your face so it’s very important. We exfoliate our face and put toner
and moisturizer on it, but we neglect our scalp. This treatment can remove impurities and excess oil which tend to clog the follicles.” Follow up at home before a big event with the Yululuka herbal bamboo scalp wash line which is also only sold at Kazumi’s salon in the U.S. This intensive hair treatment might be a tonguetwister, but it will penetrate your scalp with ingredients such as lotus flower extract, rice, and pea proteins and murumuru butter that all sound good enough to eat and will nourish from the inside out. Kazumi is also widely known in the beauty industry for color and Hair Lingerie extensions that go virtually undetected since they are made with real hair and she dyes them to blend in perfectly with your mane. It’s no wonder famous clients and redcarpet staples have included Zooey Deschanel, Kristen Stewart, Christina Applegate, and Robert Pattinson. www.salonkazumi.com

VOICES FROM THE COURIER COMMUNITY The Beverly Hills High School Alumni held its 4th annual golf tournament on September 11, 2019 at Woodland Hills Country Club. Michael Suter created this enjoyable event four years ago to bring Norman alumni together for fun and memorable times. Our tournament raised $7,500 for New Directions Travel, a charity that sends the disabled on vacations. Marc Maretsky was the champion this
year with a score of 76. We are looking to grow the Norman Nation, and if you would like to play next year send marcmaretsky@att.net your email address and phone number to be placed on our growing list. Marc Maretsky
I was happy to see the attendance at the recent residents’ meeting at BH City Hall. The community is clearly concerned about the spike in crime in recent years and the Police Department put on their usual dog and pony show. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big supporter of the Police Department, and there are some very fine people there. I am, however, greatly concerned about the toxic environment within the department, a complaint which I have heard from numerous current and former BHPD officers. The common thread in these complaints is that there is a massive lack of leadership, where differing opinions are not tolerated or welcomed, personal favoritism is rewarded, and those police who end up getting promoted are those who ingratiate themselves to the Chief, irrespective of their qualifications for the job. This toxic environment cannot help but undermine the efficiency necessary for the BHPD to be its best. Don’t take my word for it. There have been more than a dozen lawsuits filed against the Chief (and the
City is always named as a defendant), and several more in the pipeline, and the city has yet to win a single case. Imagine the cost to the City. Legal fees and expenses have reached over 7 figures, and the awards, judgements and settlements are in excess of $3 million thus far. Amazingly, some City Council members have claimed victory in those cases because the judge/arbitrators did not find that the chief had discriminated. The judge/arbitrators did, however, find that the chief engaged in retaliation, and as a consequence, current police department members are reluctant to come forward and testify against the Chief for fear of not getting promoted, or even losing their jobs. Until the City Council hires an impartial firm (that has no other dealings with the City) to get to the bottom of this, while allowing whistleblowers to state their claims without fear of retaliation, we will not resolve the toxic environment that is disrupting our police department. More to come… Vera Markowitz PUZZLE

Among the tiniest ears of the animal kingdom are those of a cricket, which happen to very conveniently situated under their knees. A group of chirping crickets is called an orchestra, and maybe to a hungry frog they sound as sweet as one. Gemini moon trine communicative Mercury blurs the tones between good and bad noise. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whether the universe is as infinitely small as it is infinitely big is a matter of debate. You’ll be answering your own questions of scale, figuring out what size of life feels comfortable and enlarging it just a bit from there. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a personal victory happening in your world. Things are coming together that mean something to you, though others might not understand. And anyway, you don’t have to share. Some things are sweeter kept under wraps. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The struggle is real, but only as real as you want to make it. There’s also the option to drop the fight and go with the thing that offers you no resistance. Neither is better, they are just two different journeys with different lessons. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re allowed to trust, like and love whomever you do. Those in authority may prefer you to have different alliances but that doesn’t mean you will or should or, in some cases, could even if you wanted to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There has to be something in this for you. Find out what that is and your day goes a lot easier. What used to be challenging becomes much more palatable when you find your “why.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). This is a mighty fine time to start a good habit. Things you do will have a cumulative effect. Your energy three days from now will depend a lot on how you conduct yourself today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Unexpected responsibilities and
M

opportunities will appear over the next three days, so it’s better not to make plans and promises now. Leave things loosely scheduled so you can be flexible. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As a teacher, guide and example, you take the success or failure of others both seriously and personally. Today will be a proud day for you and those you’ve helped. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’re not sure what you need more — rest or inspiration, food or fasting, attention or the fire that builds from knowing that you are on your own. Don’t worry; life will give you just what you need. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The things that once motivated you will no longer work because you’re a different person than you were back then. Have some fun finding your new motivation. Expose yourself to possibly exciting prospects to see what works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One reason people enjoy aberrant behavior is because we all sense that we have the potential to behave in surprising and baffling ways. You won’t be too quick to judge today’s circumstance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t underestimate the power of your body to inform and assist you. Try new health methods, postures and activities. When you move differently, you’ll think differently. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 20). This solar return begins with the sweet relief of a cosmic exhale — old energy out, tension melting away and a readiness for the bright new future. The exchange between people of different generations is featured. You’ll benefit financially and otherwise from sharing knowledge and resources. Honors come in May. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 14, 33 and 19.
