Planning Commission Approves Calle Vista, Recommends Friars Club Approval To City Council

By Victoria Talbot Last week, in two controversial decisions, the Beverly Hills Planning Commission voted 3-2 on both projects to approve three R-1 Permits for 1115 Calle Vista Drive and to recommend to the City Council that the Friars Club project at 9908 S. Santa Monica Blvd. go forward.

The three votes in favor included Chair Andy Licht, Vice Chair Alan Block, and Commissioner Joe Shooshani.

Commissioners Lori Greene Gordon and Peter Ostroff could not make the findings and voted against the projects.

The project at 1115 Calle Vista, owned by media mogul Byron Allen, at 23,678 square feet, requires an R-1 Permit for the size - which includes a proposed basement of 11,003 square feet plus 12,684 square feet above ground - a pool setback and the 4,600 cubic yards of export, being removed to create a “basement,” under the “old” definition. (Since the passage of the Basement Ordinance earlier this year, if the structure “daylights” it is no longer considered a “basement.”)

By Laura Coleman On Monday morning in Federal Court, U.S. Federal Judge George Wu once again appeared sympathetic with Beverly Hills Unified School District’s years-long legal battle against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), but stopped short of ordering any real change to running the planned Purple Line under Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) as part of the Westside subway extension project Over two years ago, on Aug. 16, 2016, Wu ruled that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) acted in an “arbitrary and capricious

manner” with respect to the environmental effects of tunneling under BHHS in order to reach the Constellation station in Century City. The planned subway route beneath Beverly Hills’ only public high school requires tunneling through pockets of methane gas and scores of abandoned oil wells.

Following almost an hour of discussion at Monday’s hearing related to Wu’s Tentative Ruling of September 17, 2018 to have the FTA supplement the administrative record with additional documents, Wu directed BHUSD and the FTA to “get together” to create a list of the specific documents

Brooks Brothers Building Reportedly In Escrow For $250M Metro’s Path Under Beverly Hills High School Appears Unstoppable After Latest Court Hearing

By Victoria Talbot The iconic building that was the home of Brooks Brothers clothiers in Beverly Hills for 15 years, before it closed last month, is in escrow for $250 million, $50 million short of the $300 million asking price, according to a report from the Real Deal.

Jay Luchs of Newmark Knight Frank confirmed that there is a deal in the works, but did not provide details.

Interestingly, the Real Deal reports that the buyer is none other than Bernard Arnault, CEO of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH). Arnault has three other

properties on Rodeo Drive. LVMH already owns 319-323 N. Rodeo Dr. and 420 N. Rodeo Dr., which it purchased in 2012 and 2016 respectively. In March, they purchased a 6,200-square-foot, single-story building at 456 N. Rodeo (see ‘BROOKS BROTHERS’ page 12)

October 11, 2018 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard 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 11, 2018, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO MODIFY THE FINDINGS FOR CERTAIN MINOR ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES IN THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE CITY AND TO MODIFY THE LANGUAGE PERTAINING TO THE FINDINGS FOR CENTRAL R-1 PERMITS. The proposed Ordinance would include modifications to existing code language to add a finding for consideration by the reviewing authority for Minor Accommodation requests for certain accessory structures over 14’ in height located in the Central Area of the City and to change the language regarding findings for Central R-1 Permits. The proposed amendments included in the Ordinance would not represent changes to development standards. The proposed language changes would include: • Amendment of BHMC § 10-3-2414(E) to add a finding for consideration by the reviewing authority when considering minor accommodation requests for certain accessory structures over 14’ in height located North of Santa Monica Boulevard. With the proposed amendment, the reviewing authority must find that the potential additional height would not adversely impact adjacent properties or the public welfare, in addition to the existing findings outlined in this code section, in order to approve the request.

• Amendment of BHMC § 10-3-2413(E), 10-3-2414(F) and 10-3-2453 to modify the language pertaining to the findings for Central R-1 Permits.

This Ordinance and the Amendments were 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. There is no possibility that the proposed code amendments that are not related to any specific development proposal may have a significant effect on the environment because the modifications do not enable any physical changes in the environment. Therefore the Planning Commission finds that the Amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question would have a significant effect on the environment.

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.

Police Search Fails To Yield Suspects In Burglary Attempt

California Fire Marshal Awards BHFD’s Greg Barton With ‘Fire Chief Certification’

By Victoria Talbot Beverly Hills Fire Chief Greg Barton was awarded "Fire Chief Certification" Tuesday evening by California State Fire Marshal Dennis Mathisen at the City Council meeting, an honor that has been awarded to only a few fire chiefs throughout the state since 1998.

The State Board of Fire Services established the certification as the capstone of the State's professional certification and qualification system after a study, conducted in the 1990s by the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the League of California Cities.

The study identified critical attributes necessary to become a fire chief.

But the application process is rigorous. Candidates are so thoroughly vetted through the

for suspects, with air support from LAPD. Burglary suspects typically “target daytime or early evening hours when residents are usually at work or out for dinner,” explained Albanese.

“If anything appears suspicious or unusual, it is best to call police first. Then, if everything turns out to be ok, call us back.

It is better to be safe first.”

During the search, Hawthorne Elementary School was locked down. It was after school hours, so students had left the campus.

The roadway was officially reopened at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday evening.

PLANNING COMMISSION (Continued from page 1)

On Aug. 9, the commission voted 3-2 to create a resolution to be brought to the meeting on Sept. 13.

Commissioner Peter Ostroff, a former partner at Sidley Austin LLP law firm, contacted staff with a problem.

The existing residence is nonconforming; it is 13,232 square feet with a 483 square foot basement. The residence is grandfathered in to existing laws and was granted an exemption from the Basement Ordinance because it was already in the pipeline.

A 1995 ordinance, BHMC §10-3-2550(E), set a permanent threshold for discretionary review of 15,000 square feet total, basement and above ground combined; the issue of legally nonconforming structures, such as the existing home that is 13,232 square feet, was not contemplated in the ordinance, according to the staff report.

In this case, BHMC §10-32502(B)(2)(d) allows for 10,861 square feet of floor area (excluding basements).

BHMC§10-3-4100 development standards allow for nonconforming structures to remain, provided that not more than 50 percent of the nonconforming structure is demolished, or reconstructed. The proposed project has 43.1 percent demolition (548 square feet, above ground).

For code compliance, the project must comply with the maximum allowable floor area ratio (FAR) or it will not be eli-

gible for the 15,000 square foot Hillside R-1 Permit related to cumulative floor area, according to the 1995 ordinance, with the most restrictive code provisions applicable according to BHMC§1-1-4, said Ostroff.

After a review of the applicable statutes, City Attorney David Snow agreed.

Thus, the applicant must remove a total of 2,371 square feet from the above-ground portion of the project, including the 548 square feet already scheduled for demolition in the applicant’s plans to reach the FAR of 10,860 square feet. But the cumulative square feet must still remain under the 15,000 square foot threshold.

The basement, at 11,003 square feet, means the project is over that limit.

If the applicant removes the 2,371 square feet from the above ground square footage, the project will become eligible for an R-1 Permit to exceed the 15,000 square foot threshold – with the basement of 11,003 square feet and the above ground at 10,860 square feet.

Allen can avoid the R-1 hearing entirely by lowering his basement to below 4,140 square feet so that the total basement, plus above ground, will be below the 15,000 square foot threshold.

Otherwise, the applicant could seek a Zone Text Amendment or a variance for the project. That was done at 1127 Miradero Rd. in 2014.

The Zone Text Amendment was denied, but the project went through with a variance.

Attorney Ben Reznik, a

newly registered lobbyist for the project, argued before the commission that there was a “dichotomy” in the ordinance.

He said that he was there when the Hillside Ordinance was written, though it is unclear if he meant the 1995 ordinance or the 2016 ordinance. He said that the law was not meant for existing homes; it only applied to new homes.

The three commissioners who approved the R-1 Permits chose to ignore the recommendations of City Attorney Snow.

Vice Chair Alan Block insisted that “all traces” of the recommendation to remove the additional 1,823 square feet and references to the ordinances pertaining to the FAR and the 1995 15,000 square footthreshold – be removed from the Resolution approving the project.

“The Planning Commission majority did not concur with the city attorney’s interpretation, introduced after the Sept.

13 hearing, which determined that the applicant was not eligible to apply for the Hillside R1 permit as proposed,” said Director of Community Development Susan Healy Keene. “The project has been called up by Vice Mayor Mirisch; City Council will decide at the Oct. 9 Study Session whether to hold a subsequent de novo hearing on the project.”

Ron Richards, president of the Beverly Hills Hillside Protection Association, has also called up the project.

City Attorney Larry Wiener has confirmed that Councilmember Lili Bosse’s

Michael Santoro Named The New Executive Chef Of The Beverly Hills Hotel

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills Hotel has found a new leader for its legendary Polo Lounge, and the rest of his culinary operation.

Michael Santoro, executive chef of the Watergate Hotel in Washington DC, has been named The Beverly Hills Hotel’s executive chef by Edward Mady, the hotel’s regional director West Coast USA and general manager As executive chef, Santoro will oversee not only The Polo Lounge, but Fountain Coffee Room, Cabana Cafe, Bar Ninteteen12, along with inroom dining and banquets.

Throughout his 15-year culinary career, Santoro has

also served as executive chef at New York City’s Andaz 5th AVE flagship property, and has worked at the Blue Duck Tavern and The Mildred in Pennsylvania.

Santoro is a native of Cleveland, Ohio and has been nominated for a James Beard Award.

potential recusal at the Oct. 9 meeting on this issue is being arbitrated by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC).

In the event that she has to recuse herself and the council ties 2-2, the R-1 Permit would fail, said Wiener.

The Planning Commission also held an evening meeting for The Friars Club site (9908 S. Santa Monica). That Applicant is seeking a Mixed Use Overlay Zone and received a 3-2 vote approval from the commission for a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment, Planned Development, Vesting Tentative Tract Map and a Development Agreement to create a Mixed Use Planned Development Overlay Zone (M-PD-5) for a four-story, mixed use project with 25 residential condominiums in a commercial zone.

The project has received vigorous opposition from former City Treasurer Eliot Finkel and current City Treasurer Howard Fisher because of the negative impact they say it will have on City revenues and the City’s economic sustainability when precious commercial space is removed from the City’s tax base.

“Commercial property is the life blood of Beverly Hills,” said Finkel. “Less than nine percent of the available land produces 75 percent of the revenue.”

It is also being opposed by the neighboring Peninsula Hotel.

The Peninsula’s Managing Partner Robert Zarnegin wrote that “the project intrudes on the Hotel’s commercial zone.

This intrusion is bound to create friction between the residents and the proposed project, and the hotel for years to come.”

In fact, that has proven to be the case for the L’Ermitage Hotel, which is in a transitional zone, and has had decades of

conflict.

The project’s pool deck faces the world-famous Peninsula pool deck, noted for privacy.

“There are no extenuating circumstances that necessitate an exception to the zoning ordinance. As a matter of public policy, “spot zoning” is… fraught with perceived or actual underlying basis of favoritism, and/or cronyism, which will not be acceptable to fair-minded people of the City.”

“You guys are being hoodwinked,” said Zarnegin.

A zone change at 9200 Wilshire Boulevard in 2007 created a mixed-use residential project that was intended to promote pedestrian accessibility on Wilshire Boulevard.

Today, that zone change has locked the developer into a poor decision. Other zone changes include the Waldorf Astoria (completed), the Hilton’s Waldorf Astoria Residences (proposed) and One Beverly Hills (approved but not built).

The Commission was asked to make findings that there was a reason to change the zoning.

“We were sworn to uphold the General Plan,” said Ostroff in his opposition. “It means there must be a very clear, substantial benefit to the City…

Here, the barrier is even higher… when we are going to override the General Plan… I see no compelling benefit to the City to approve this project.”

The project will be heard at an upcoming City Council meeting, likely prior to the end of the year. “The Council will consider the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the next steps will depend upon the direction given at the meeting,” said Healy Keene.

Michael Tenner, counsel for The Peninsula Beverly Hills, said “We intend to file an appeal to the City Council.”

CHLA’s Dr. Tishya Wren Awarded $2.3 Million To Study Bone Loss, Cerebral Palsy Link Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability originating in childhood.

Approximately two of every 1,000 babies born acquire this condition that results from abnormal development or damage to the brain. Since CP affects a child’s ability to control his or her muscles, physical activity can be difficult or even impossible. Since physical activity is required for mechanical loading that allows the muscles to exert stress on the bones and cause increased bone development, individuals with CP often have low bone mass or “weak bones” and a greatly increased risk of bone fracture.

Depending on the severity of their condition, children with cerebral palsy may be able to walk independently, walk using assistive devices like crutches or walkers, or not be able to walk at all. While children with severe cerebral palsy generally have low bone mass and a greatly increased risk of fracture, little is known about the extent of bone deficits in ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy, who represent the majority of people with the condition.

Tishya Wren, PhD, a biomedical engineer and director of Research for the Children’s Orthopaedic Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has been awarded $2.3 million to learn more about ambulatory children and adults with CP. The study is funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, of the NIH. “We will be following both children and adults with cerebral palsy, since we want to know more about the trajectory of bone dep-

osition and then, bone loss, over the lifespan,” said Wren, who is also an associate professor of pediatric orthopaedics and radiology at USC’s Keck School of Medicine Approximately 148 ambulatory children and adults with CP will undergo a rigorous assessment Dr. Tishya Wren that includes a physical exam, functional and dietary assessment, activity monitoring, gait analysis, musculoskeletal modeling, and DXA and QCT imaging. Analyses will be repeated at 1 year and 2 years after initial assessment.

Results of the study will be used to determine which ambulatory individuals with CP are at highest risk for developing osteoporosis. The study will also identify critical periods for intervention and guide the future design of interventions aimed at maximizing and maintaining bone strength in people with CP. “We need to know more about what happens to people with disabilities as they age,” said Wren. “A few decades ago, our goal was to just keep them alive. Now we are able to do that. Our goal is to make sure that their quality of life is a good as it can be.”

which should be included in the supplemental record.

BHUSD attorney Albert Shemmy Mishaan with Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP emphasized that such a list would ultimately be insufficient, stating: “There are many, many documents that Metro has or the FTA has that we don’t have.”

In turn, FTA attorney Joshua Wilson likened BHUSD’s request to a fishing expedition “They’re grasping,” he said.

“They don’t know what’s out there and they don’t know really what they want, but I think they’re hoping ... that their might be some email that’s internal to Metro....and they’re going to try to leverage something that was in these types of documents.”

“Again, they don’t know what [the documents] are,” Wilson continued. “They don’t know that they exist. They’re fishing for them and they’re hoping that they can clasp onto something that will allow them to prove this claim of predetermination that they have.”

Following Wu’s 2016 ruling, the transportation authority

BEVERLY HILLS

was ostensibly on the hook to provide a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) and explain to residents why it decided to spend $200 million more on a subway tunnel that runs through toxic soil beneath BHHS rather than re-examine 15 alternatives previously identified, including the “locally preferred” alignment running along Santa Monica Boulevard.

BHUSD found fault with the results of that SEIS and earlier this year, on Jan. 26, attorneys for the school district filed a federal lawsuit against the FTA and Metro challenging the legal sufficiency of the agencies’ latest environmental analysis, alleging that the FTA and Metro violated federal law by conducting a faulty and biased supplemental environmental analysis of the impacts of Metro’s Westside Purple Line Subway Extension.

“I do agree with the general proposition that the plaintiffs are asserting that merely because something was only considered by Metro and not specifically given to the FTA or specifically discussed with the FTA, does not necessarily mean that it falls outside of what could be considered an item that might fall into the supple-

mental record,” Wu said at this week’s hearing. “The problem that I have is if you’re asking the FTA to produce something that they might not know exactly what it is that you’re talking about....it’s maybe something that you should be asking directly from Metro, rather than asking the FTA to ask Metro.”

Earlier this month, on Sept.

7, BHUSD and the FTA submitted a joint statement concerning supplementing the record.

While the parties disagree as to the specific documents that should be included, they agreed “in broad terms” to supplement the record with a variety of materials, including: documents attached to or cited in the school district’s July 2017 comment letter that were considered by the FTA; documents concerning noise monitoring at BHHS; documents concerning the availability of the property located at 1950 Avenue of the Stars for use as a construction staging area; documents concerning the school district’s proposed subway tunnel alignments; documents reflecting communications with the California Division of State Architect or the California Department of Toxic Substance Control regarding the impacts

of the Project on BHHS; drafts and redlines of the FEIS and related comment matrices considered by the FTA; and the design/build contract.

However, the school district alleges that there is a tangible lack of information that should be provided to supplement the record that the transportation agencies are failing to include. Among those allegations is that the agencies rejected alternative subway tunnel alignments proposed by BHUSD that would have substantially mitigated the harm posed by the agencies’ favored alignment, because BHUSD’s alignments “purportedly” pass beneath protected historic properties in a historic district identified in the 2004 Report.

“The agencies have produced no e-mails and scant other analysis regarding the historic district or the specific property under which the alignments would purportedly tunnel. The fact that the agencies believe no other such documents or materials exist suggests that they have taken an overly narrow view of what documents were ‘directly or indirectly’ considered by the agencies,” the Joint Statement contends with respect to the school district’s position. “The

agencies should be ordered to go back and search for documents that they considered, directly and indirectly, that relate to their flawed analysis of the impact of the school district’s proposed alignments on properties within the historic district.”

In contrast, the Joint Statement has the federal defendants arguing that the record is actually complete.

“Federal defendants disagree with plaintiff’s apparent position that the FTA must ‘complete’ the record with materials that were never reviewed by decision-makers at the FTA,” the Joint Statement succinctly states.

At the conclusion of Monday’s hearing, Wu directed both sides to confer and to provide him with a list of specifical available documents, noting that BHUSD attorneys would need to “identify” specific documents they know or think Metro has. Subsequently, he said he would review the list and make a determination whether or not they should be included in the record.

The upcoming status conference is scheduled for Nov. 6 with the status report set for Oct. 31.

Thomas Hollow as Paul, front, and the cast of the new musical Blood Rock, playing this weekend and next at The Odyssey Theatre. Hollow is also the production’s assistant music director.

Beverly Hills’ Residents New Vampire Musical Blood Rock Now At The Odyssey Described as “West Side Story…

With Vampires,” Blood Rock: The Musical” is making its world debut at the Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd. in West L.A. With music and lyrics by Beverly Hills resident Michael Berns and produced by 28-year resident Marlene Mandell, Blood Rock, features a cast of 17, and tells the story of two rival vampire gangs that have been living secretly in the city of Philadelphia for hundreds of years.

Berns, who has been managed by Mandell for years, is a USC cinema graduate who has written and produced more than 100 songs for other artists and for his band Ember FX, like Attention and Time Of Your Life.

“I heard Michael talking about the idea; and I thought it was a great and unusual take on vampires good and bad,” says Mandell. “I wanted to be part of it bringing this show to the stage for its premiere.”

With a book by Mark Rich and Berns, the plot follows vampire Carnoli’s gang that is out for blood, literally, while the Blood Rock gang—the “Blood Rockers”—just want to live peacefully and undetected in present-day Philly.

The rival vampire gangs are threat-

ened to be exposed when a young news reporter, Carolin, begins covering the mysterious death of a local archeologist.

Her investigation rekindles a relationship with Paul, while at the same time sparks the affection of the evil Carnoli. As Carolin searches for the truth, the two rival gangs clash in an epic battle over love and the vampire way of life.

“While also paying homage to Grease and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this musical’s highly entertaining and a great deal of fun,” says Mandell “and it’s just jam packed with humor and irresistible songs.”

Berns’ score of 28 songs is a combination of rock, pop and orchestral with numbers like Didn’t Notice Us and Paler Than A Ghost.

“The music is outstanding,” says Mandell, “with one great song after the other.”

The cast, directed by Gary Thomas, features Michael J. Ryan, Ethan Corbett, Arrianna Leigh, Ellie Wyman, Thomas Hollow and Bradley Cusack.

Performances are at 8 p.m. today and tomorrow, and Thursday-Saturday, Sept.

27-29 with matinees at 2 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 22 and 5 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 30.

Wanda Reportedly in Deal to Sell One Beverly Hills

By Victoria Talbot Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin’s Dalian Wanda Group is selling his stake in America, including the property in Beverly Hills that once held such promise, optimistically named “One Beverly Hills.”

The property has approvals for a five-star luxury hotel and condominium complex that includes a $60 million development deal. It is unclear if the permits will be intact when the deal closes, as they were set to expire in November.

The Athens Group, Wanda’s development partner, exited the project last year prior to going public with apartment sales. A sales office remains on North Canon Drive, unfinished.

Wang Jianlin’s Dalian Wanda Group is also selling a 60 percent stake in Chicago’s Vista Tower project, still under construction with Magellan Development.

Once a $5 billion overseas

One Beverly Hills

portfolio, Wanda’s divestment of the two properties is part of a deal reported Thursday with the Edmonton-based Triple Five Group.

Once valued at $1.2 billion for the project, the sale price for One Beverly Hills, located at 9900 Wilshire Blvd. beside The Beverly Hilton/Waldorf Astoria complex, according to Mingtiandi, the Asian real estate rag, is

$400 million.

The Beverly Hills property was purchased for an undisclosed sale price in 2014 after languishing as the abandoned Robinson’s-May Department Store for a decade.

Subsequently, Wang was feted by Hollywood. He announced that he planned to buy one of the Big Five studios.

Until days ago, Wanda owned a 60 percent share of

AMC Entertainment Holdings, the world’s largest cinema operators, and still owns Legendary Entertainment. The AMC shares were purchased by private equity firm Silver Lake for $600 million.

A deal to purchase Dick Clark Productions for $1 billion was scrapped when the Chinese government began exerting pressure on Wang to reign in overseas debts.

Pacific Design Lecture Series Relaunches With Compass/Pacific Union International Support

By Victoria Talbot Relaunching a tradition of lecture series with the support of Pacific Union International and Compass Real Estate, hosted by realtor and noted architectural author Bret Parsons, the Architecture + Design Lecture series resumes with A+D Lecture No. 42 featuring TV producer/author/historian Stephen Gee at the Pacific Design Center.

Open to the public, Gee will be discussing his newest book release, Los Angeles City Hall: An American Icon.

The book chronicles the evolution of Los Angeles against the backdrop of City Hall, a dynamic and changing environment represented by three of California’s most accomplished architects, John Parkinson, A.C. Martin and John C. Austin.

City Hall was an audacious undertaking when it was completed in 1928. It spoke volumes about the intent for the future.

The building stood 454 feet, with 32 floors. Until 1964, it remained the tallest structure in Los Angeles. The concrete in the tower was made from sand taken from each of California’s 58 counties and water from its

Los Angeles City Hall

21 historical missions. The peak of the pyramid at the top of the building is an airplane beacon named in honor of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, ca.

1939.

Gee’s book showcases the architecture, art and details that define City Hall with many

never-before-seen images, and chronicles the political battle that took place over the building’s restoration.

This is the first lecture in the popular series that is being relaunched at the Pacific Design Center to enhance the values of art, culture, architec-

ture and design.

The event will be Monday, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Silver Screen Theatre in the Pacific Design Center at 8687 Melrose Ave. Books will be available for purchase.

Since November last year, the Wanda Group has been reducing its $5 billion overseas property portfolio, including properties in London and Australia.

Triple Five Group specializes in shopping malls, hotels and entertainment complexes and is owned by Jacob Ghermezian.

BROOKS BROTHERS (Continued from page 1)

Dr. for $110 million from the Sterling Organization, shortly after the latter had purchased the property for $55 million.

The reduction in price from $300 million to $250 million seems inconsistent with media reports that have labeled Rodeo Drive as one of the “high streets,” which are relatively unaffected by the down trend in retail.

While values have been falling in retail across the country, “high streets” like Rodeo Drive and Upper Fifth Avenue in New York are increasingly valuable.

The property boasts 100 feet of storefront on Rodeo Drive at the southeast corner of South Santa Monica Boulevard.

A two-level building with a double lot comprising 22,270 square feet of floor space, the location has the potential to expand to 30,000 square feet.

At $250 million, that is about $11,220 per foot.

The property has been owned by a local family trust for more than 50 years.

LVMH fashion brands include Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior, Guerlain, Bulgari, Benefit, Sephora and many others.

From The Publisher

S

ummer always seems to last just a little bit longer in Beverly Hills, but fall and winter come around inevitably.

We all love summer – we can ditch the sweaters for light, comfy clothing and enjoy day after day in the warm sun.

Winter means we break out the hot cocoa and sit by the fireplace, with the holiday season soon approaching.

They certainly have their perks, but there’s something that just seems so necessary about fall. It’s the perfect gobetween from the heat of summer and the hustle and bustle of the chilly winter holiday season.

Changes are always in abundance in the fall. The weather gets a little cooler, but not too cool.

Pumpkins are everywhere!

There’s pumpkin patches all over town, pumpkin pie at the local market and pumpkin spice lattes at our local coffee shops.

But despite all the changes that come with fall, there are

some things that are constants, no matter the season – delicious farm-fresh food, stylish fashion, great art and museums, along with must-have technology and the importance of giving.

We hope you will find tips and tricks on those topics and more in this, our fall 2018 issue of Beverly Hills Style.

Have a fun, fantastic fall, and thank you for reading.

CAYTON CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

Zimmer Children’s Museum Gets A New Name And Activity-Packed New Home

T

hanks to a gift from Andrea and Barry Cayton and The Goldrich Family Foundation, the Zimmer Children’s Museum has a new home and a new name.

In the first quarter of next year, the popular museum, a program of L.A.-based nonprofit ShareWell, is relocating to Santa Monica Place as the Cayton Children’s Museum.

“It is important for my sister Melinda and I to carry on my dad’s philanthropic legacy by continuing to support and make an impact in our community,” Andrea Cayton says.

She’s thrilled to see the donation carry on the charitable tradition of her late father, Holocaust survivor and Southland real-estate tycoon Jona Goldrich.

The new children’s museum’s location doubles the size of the current Wilshire Boulevard site to 21,000-square-feet.

R&A Architecture + Design is the architect and S2 Associates is the exhibition designer of the space that is expected to host 300,000 visitors each year.

“Our mission is to create an experiential and fun environment where children will learn community values and social responsibility through play,” says ShareWell founderCEO Esther Netter. “The focus is on how to take care of ourselves, others and the planet.”

The museum’s five core exhibit wings are themed to phrases: • “Let’s Help” correlates to the previous museum’s Main Street and Rescue Exhibit, even with a repurposed helicopter.

• “Reach For” helps develop perspective through climbing where visitors literally climb and reach higher as they get bigger, older and stronger.

• “Together We” is a collection of exhibits that one person can participate in, but become amplified and more profound when done with someone else.

It includes a water table and an exercise-activated ball machine.

• “Launch Your” is a climbing experience on the floor for infants up to 2 years old.

• “Reflect On” encourages “being still enough to listen to what’s happening around us,” says Netter. It features a wishing wall, infinity mirror and tunnel space.

The new 21,000-square-foot facility at Santa Monica Place doubles the museum’s current exhbition space.

‘A Mission To Teach Kindness And Empathy’

A

ccording to Netter, “Our exhibits and programs teach children and young people that kindness and empathy are core to strong, healthy communities where people work together to move forward.”

For example, in the ”Together We” wing, children can experience the value of being helpers to others, such as dressing up as a first responder.

The exhibit will have a Coast Guard rescue boat in a ball-pit ocean and the museum is purchasing an old fire truck as the centerpiece of

the new fire station. “Visitors will be able to use these for role playing,” says Netter.

These will be adjacent to the community market, café and animal hospital. “All of these are about how we help one another in crisis and every day,” says Netter.

Being in tune with nature will be reflected in an exhibit featuring projected butterflies that fade away if the visitor is not still and quiet.

The new Cayton Children’s Museum encourages a hands-on and creative learning model that stimulates

imagination and collaboration among children of all ages and their families.

The museum’s staff Esther Netter is working with educators, artists, exhibit designers and child psychologists “to set the stage to allow children to create a theater of play in a community or group,” says Netter.

“We want this to be a place that isn’t separating visitors with small screens, but encouraging visitors, into group play because we know there is value in interaction, sharing, being patient, negotiating and celebrating a successful collaboration.

“We’re hoping to create a place that’s aesthetically beautiful and challenging for little and grown up visitors and that gives them practice to be their best selves while having fun in an interactive children’s museum,” says Netter. —Steve Simmons

STAGED READING, EXHIBIT & GALA

Commemorating The Kindertransport F

rom December 1938 until the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, approximately 10,000 children traveled alone from Germany, Austria, Poland and Czechoslovakia to Great Britain and other countries by train and ship on the Kindertransport. Most were never reunited with their families.

Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the life-saving effort with a temporary exhibit, a staged play reading, a new education program, and at the Museum’s Annual Gala.

In 1938, Lisa Jura’s dreams of becoming a concert pianist were shattered when German troops took over Austria. As Lisa said goodbye to her family and boarded the Kindertransport, her mother said, “Hold on to your music. It will be your best friend.” Lisa’s daughter Mona Golabek, above, followed in her mother’s footsteps, becoming an internationally acclaimed concert pianist. She will perform a tribute to her mother at a free concert in October for middle and high school students at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The concert is the culmination of the L.A. Willesden Read, a multi-layered program teaching more than 12,000 middle- and highschool students – particularly from underserved communities – about the Holocaust, the importance of standing up against bigotry and hatred, and the transformative power of music, all free of charge. Mona Golabek’s book, The Children of Willesden Lane, tells the story of her mother’s experience as a Kindertransport survivor. The Willesden Read educated 250 teachers on how to teach the Holocaust and relate its history and lessons to current events. Students are studying the book (which will remain in their schools), touring the Museum and engaging in dialogue with a Holocaust survivor.

‘Childhood Left At The Station’

L

os Angeles Museum of the Holocaust’s new exhibit is a collection of artifacts, photographs and personal narratives from 10 children saved by the British rescue effort.

Running through Dec. 31, the exhibition highlights 10 kinder—author and media personality Dr. Ruth Westheimer, L.A. resident Dave Lux, British information technology pioneer Dame Stephanie Shirley, Israeli sculptor Frank Meisler, Lisa Jura, Rita Berwald, University of California Electrical Engineering Professor Charles Susskind, Bea Green, Greta Meier and Sylva Oppenheimer. Shirley, Lux, Westheimer and Green are the only participants still living.

The mementos and stories weave together a story of separation, loss, kindness and hope, illustrating how these kinder, in spite of their traumas and individual hardships, were able to achieve successes professionally and personally.

and Mona Golabek.

Finkelstein, associate editor of The London Times, is a member of Parliament, and a member of the Prime Minister’s Holocaust Commission. He is a patron of the Wiener Library, devoted to the study of the Holocaust.

Golabek has taught students worldwide about the

Holocaust through her onewoman show, The Pianist of Willesden Lane, about her mother’s experiences as a Kindertransport survivor.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer, also a Kindertransport survivor, will present the award to Golabek. http://www.lamoth.org/ne ws--events/events/gala/.

The Wallis To Present Staged Reading Of Kindertransport Play

T

wenty years ago Patty Glaser, Paula Holt, Perla Karney and Karen Winnick produced playwright Diane Samuels’ Kindertransport at L.A.’s Tiffany Theater.

Now, they’re bringing the acclaimed play back in collaboration with The Wallis for a one-day-only staged reading sponsored by Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust at 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 11 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills.

Karney, artistic director of the Dortort Center for Creativity in the Arts at UCLA Hillel, and a Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust board member, first learned of BEVERLY HILLS

the play from a New Yorker review.

She flew to New York, saw the play and realized she had to bring it to L.A. for its West Coast premiere.

“As a child of survivors, who lived in three different displaced persons camps and whose mother sent me to live with relatives when I was 13, this was a story that I could immediately relate to,” says Karney. “For some people it’s a footnote in the history of the Holocaust, but I think it’s vital to tell the story of these 10,000 children, 90 percent of whom never saw their families again.”

In Samuels’ drama, a mother puts her daughter on a train, uncertain of both their futures. The mother survives

and when she comes to claim her daughter, the daughter wants nothing to do with her.

“She’s angry about being sent away,” relates Karney, “and says, ‘You should have hung onto me and never let me go.

Why did you send me away when you were in danger? No one made you. You chose to do it. Didn't it ever occur to you that I might have wanted to die with you?’

“She has to emotionally kill her mother in her mind to not suffer the pain,” says Karney.

“These scenes are powerful and touch me on the deepest level,” adds Karney As an adult, Evelyn must confront her past when her own daughter discovers letters

and photos in the attic and starts asking questions.

Then, as now, the play stars Jane Kaczmarek as the mother, Helga. “Jane has told me that the idea of giving up a child affected her so deeply it made her want to experience motherhood,” says Karney.

Kaczmarek now has three children. “This is one of her most emotional roles,” says Karney, and she won an Ovation Award as best actress for the original production.

That production also had Holland Taylor as the grownup daughter. The Wallis reading will feature Kate Burton, Kaczmarek’s Yale roommate, in the part. “She loves the play and immediately said ‘yes,’” Karney reports.

Deborah LaVine is also returning to direct the revival.

“We’re excited to work with the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on the production,” says Karney. “The Wallis’ Artistic Director Paul Crewes, was immediately drawn to bring this significant and timely story back into the spotlight with two important actresses.”

Playwright Samuels will be in attendance and Karney has invited British Consul General Michael Howells to speak and thank him for the role England played in saving so many children.

Tickets range from $25$35. For more information, visit www.thewallis.org.

HANDBAGS AT AUCTION

Women Dominate New Handbag Auction Category

T

he newly created handbags division at Christie’s Auction House only continues to grow in popularity since it started in 2014, according to Christie’s handbag specialist Caitlin Donovan, who heads sales for handbags and accessories in the U.S. “It’s one of the only female-centric collecting categories in the auction world,” she said, adding how the auction house’s division is reshaping how men and women collect. “The thing about handbags is women have been wearing and collecting handbags since the beginning of time.”

For new collectors, Donovan recommends starting out by acquiring Hermes’ Birkin, Kelly and Constance bags. However, whereas four years ago the 35-centimeter Birkin was the iconic bag, today it’s now the 25 to 30-centimeter Birkin. “I’ve really seen a shift to smaller sizes,” she said.

“As we advise for all our departments, it’s really important to collect what you love,” Donovan advised, noting that Hermes is really the premiere brand in the secondary handbag market and can sell for three-to-four times its original price. “At the end of the day, you’re really building a collecCaitlin Donovan tion that you love.”

Christie’s record-breaking sale was for a Diamond Himalayan Birkin bag, which sold for just north of $300,000 at auction last year in Hong Kong.

Although Christie’s sells privately all year round on the private secondary market, Donovan emphasized the cache of auctions.

“Handbags are really a kind of wearable work of art,” Donovan said. “It’s an accessory that is useful and speaks to your personality.”

FARM-TO-TABLE FRESHNESS

Where To Find Farm-To-Table Cuisine In Beverly Hills

ant to sample the freshest ingredients from Beverly Hills and surrounding areas all in one sitting? There are many local eateries that bring farmto-table freshness directly to Beverly Hills.

Here are just a few options: Waldorf-Astoria Beverly Hills At Jean-Georges, JeanGeorges Vongerichten’s restaurant offers several fresh farm-to-table dining options at both its indoor dining area and outdoor patio.

Among the favorites are an avocado pizza, vanilla chia bowl, squash blossom and sungold tomato pizza, heirloom tomato and strawberries salad and broccoli and kale salad.

Executive Chef Steve Benjamin and his team source their ingredients from local farmers markets to put the meals together.

"Following Chef JeanGeorges’ dedication to using locally grown and sourced foods in all his restaurants, our menus highlight seasonal local ingredients grown in Southern California, via collaborations with local farmers and weekly visits to

the farmers market," said Benjamin. "We believe that a local focus adds another level of freshness and innovation to every dish we serve.”

“I love working with local farmers and purveyors, it allows us to connect more closely to the community to build relationships and select the freshest ingredients they offer,” Codney said. “Our clients travel from all over the world to visit Peninsula Beverly Hills, and I work diligently to curate the best menus inspired by the bountiful seasonal ingredients California has to offer.”

Spago, one of his signature restaurants, provides a marketfresh menu that includes farmers market Heirloom Tomatoes with italian burrata, basil-pesto aioli and aged balsamic.

Il Cielo Chef/owner Pasquale Vericella loves to visit the Beverly Hills Farmer’s Market to find fresh ingredients for some of his restaurant’s signature

dishes. One of Il Cielo’s longtime customer favorites is his Pappardelle with Lobster and Heirloom tomatoes, using food primarily sourced from the Beverly Hills Farmer’s Market.

Maude Maude is a perfect example of how farm-totable doesn’t necessarily have to focus on locallysourced items. Maude rolls out four menus per year, inspired by wines from a different region each time.

Each menu focuses on locally-grown menus from that specific area. Currently, Maude is serving a light summer menu with seafood and local-produce focused dishes inspired by the central coast of California.

Farmhouse LA Located at the Beverly Center, executive farmer Nathan Peitso works with his family farm and many top local farmers to create vibrant seasonal dishes for Farmhouse LA’s eclectic menu. All grain used in the bread, pizza and pasta comes from Peitso’s family farm. Peitso crafts a seasonal “seed-to-plate” cuisine every month that highlights six ingredients at their freshest.

FASHION Diamond Foundry CEO Martin Roscheisen On Future Of Lab Diamonds

D

iamond Foundry CEO Martin Roscheisen has been shaking up the diamond industry since launching his labgrown diamond company in 2015. Earlier this year Diamond Foundry was certified as a Carbon Neutral company by Natural Capital Partners, one of the world's first diamond producers to achieve this title. Later this year, industry titan De Beers will likewise begin to offer its own synthetic diamonds when it launches Lightbox. Even though today fewer than 1 percent of all diamonds are produced in labs, clearly, competition in this fledgling market is heating up! Below is Martin Roscheisen Beverly Hills Style’s exclusive interview with Roscheisen.

BHS: Are sustainable diamonds the future or will there continue to be a strong diamond industry, beyond resale?

Roscheisen: I do believe that both markets can thrive side-byside. A diamond is a diamond, whether it is lab grown or mined from the ground. The difference is in what the consumer values. As above ground diamonds are now mainstream, we find that they are choosing lab grown so they can feel good about where their diamond comes from. Long-term, as the labgrown category continues to grow, consumers will have more options when it comes to buying diamonds.

This will eventually create a shift in mined diamond pricing as they try THE LOOKS–These lab-grown diamonds sparkle like nature’s own, yet to stay competitive.

BHS: What is the importance of are a fraction of the price. a having a carbon neutral diamond?

Roscheisen: Lab-grown diamonds help to combat mining but have still required quite a large amount of energy and resources that were not environmentally friendly. We invested a lot of time and research to be able to utilize renewable energy in our foundry to truly create a sustainable diamond.

BHS: Even though lab-grown diamonds are anatomically identical to mined ones, do you believe there’s a magical quality in natural diamonds, and their billion year evolution, that simply can’t be recreated in a lab?

For a single carat of diamond, 250 tons of earth have to be dug up, 2,011 ounces of air pollution is released and 143 pounds of carbon dioxide is emitted. The Diamond Foundry buyer understands luxury but is aware of the devastating effects that mining has had. They are socially conscious and are looking for an ethical option without compromising quality.

FARM-TO-TABLE FRESHNESS

Farm Fresh In Beverly Hills Digging into the “farm-to-table” movement and who is doing it best in Beverly Hills

T

he phrase farm-to-table is one that’s tossed around a lot these days in the world of cuisine.

But what does it really mean?

“You have to understand the ingredients,” said Isaac Gamboa, whose restaurant, Prospect Gourmand, has been serving fresh, farm-to-table fare in Beverly Hills since 2014. “Everything should be from scratch with 100 percent knowledge of where your food is coming from.”

Location, location

location,

One common thought behind the farm-to-table movement is that all the ingredients need to be locallysourced. Although that’s often true, simply out of ease for the chef and to help support local proprietors, Gamboa says that isn’t always the case – it’s important to look beyond the local scope to find the best and freshest ingredients.

“We try to stay local as often as we can, but some-

times you have to go outside to get what you’re looking for,” Gamboa said. “For example, we have these organic grits that we get from Anton Mills farm in North Carolina.

The product is just so superior and they do such a great job.”

Still, for a local Beverly Hills resident – Gamboa, his wife and their four kids (two students at Beverly Hills High and two at El Rodeo) – supporting local farmers is at the heart of his menu.

Prospect Gourmand is essentially a two-person operation. Isaac and his wife Chancey run the restaurant, with occasional help from the two oldest kids.

“My menu usually starts at farmer’s markets,” Gamboa said. “We have a lobster paella on the menu now that was just kind of inspired from trips to a few different markets.”

The family will take weekend trips to local farmers markets, such as the Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market, to source local ingredients for their

ever-changing menu.

“People will get [upset] at us; we’ll have this great asparagus soup on the menu for spring, customers get hooked on it, and then it’s gone,” Gamboa said. “It’s all farmer’s market driven, so it’s all about what you can get that’s fresh and in season.”

Make The Effort

One barrier to entry for many people to the farm-totable lifestyle is the time commitment it takes. Given work and social life constraints, it’s often easiest to just go visit the local supermarket.

To truly become immersed in farm-to-table lifestyle means carving out the time to visit different local farmers markets to find the freshest, best-tasting ingredients you can get.

Gamboa says he and his family will often visit the Farmers Market in Hollywood, which has one of his current favorites – tomatoes from Tutti Frutti Farms in Lompoc. The tomatoes have found their way onto several different dishes on the Prospect Gourmand menu.

“These tomatoes are so juicy and delicious,” Gamboa said. “We have a burger on our menu that’s actually based around those tomatoes.”

For the average household chef trying to step up their farm-to-table game, Gamboa says it’s all about making the effort to step out of your comfort zone and keep an eye out for new things.

“I’m always finding something that inspires me,” Gamboa said. “We just got these beautiful red Shishito peppers from a farm in Oxnard. You don’t get them

TECHNOLOGY H

ow’s this for a shocking statistic?

According to the FBI, there are around 2.5 million home burglaries per year in the United States, or one every 13 seconds.

These crimes can happen anywhere, and Beverly Hills is no exception. Earlier this year, the City Council agreed to install over 600 TV cameras throughout Beverly Hills in hopes of curbing crime in the City.

Technology, however, has made it easier than ever for homeowners, or renters, to secure their living spaces.

Here are a few of the best options on the market today to secure your home:

How To Smartly Secure Your Home

RING Doorbell

If nothing else, RING is probably the most popular home security device currently available. The video doorbell connects wirelessly to a home and will send real-time notifications to your smart phone or tablet when a visitor is at your front door. Homeowners can see and communicate with the visitor through RING’s audio feature. RING operates wirelessly, but can also be hooked up to a home’s existing doorbell wiring. RING has added a full line of home security cameras and devices, but the standard RING Video Doorbell begins at $99.99, with the highest-end model clocking in at $499.

Amazon Cloud Cam

HOME SECURITY GADGETS

The RING VIdeo Doorbell is becoming a go-to item for millions of Americans in securing their homes.

the Arlo Pro 2 costs $429.

Nest Security Camera

Nest’s cameras are another solid option in the ongoing battle for home security camera supremacy. The Nest cameras allow 24/7 live streaming in crisp 1080p quality video, with twoway audio. More features can be unlocked with a subscription to “Nest Aware.” Cameras run from $199-$349.

Logitech Circle 2

The Circle 2 is one of the more versatile cameras currently on the market with several mounts available that allow it to be placed just about anywhere in and out of the home. It can be mounted directly to the wall, wirelessly, or stuck to a pane-glass window. The Circle 2 will offer Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit integration. It also has the standard security features, such as night vision, two-way audio and cloud storage. The Circle 2 costs $159.

The Cloud Cam is convenient for many who have already allowed other Amazon devices into their homes, because it pairs effortlessly with Amazon’s iSmartAlarm Alexa and Echo (ask iSmartAlarm's iCamera Alexa to show a live Keep Pro is, compared to camera feed on the many of its competitors, a Amazon Fire TV, for relatively affordable option on example, and it will).

This weatherproof camera is completely wireless and offers high-quality 1080p high definition video. The batteries are rechargeable and it supports Alexa voice commands. It has continuous recording capabilities and offers free and subscription-based cloud storage. The Arlo Pro retails for $329, while

Home Security On A Budget Although it would certainly be ideal if every home had a state-ofthe-art security system, not everyone wants to, or is able to, shell out hundreds of dollars for those products. Here are a few home security items, tips and tricks that are light on the budget, but could go a long way toward deterring theft on your property:

Wyze Labs Wyzecam 2 – $26 The biggest benefit of the Wyzecam 2 is the price – for half the cost of one high-end security camera, you can buy a Wyzecam 2 for every single room in the house. This ridiculously affordable camera offers night vision, motiondetection and two-way audio, but many other features are not up to par with its pricier competitors. For the price, though, it’s tough to beat.

FakeTV LED Light – $39

FakeTV

Many home burglaries occur during the daytime, when homeowners are presumed to be gone, at work or school. A potential burglar is perhaps less likely to strike when they think people are home.

The FakeTV FTV-11 is a bright, LED light that flashes in various colors at various times, that simulates the light of a 40-inch LCD HDTV. From the outside looking in, it will look exactly like people are inside the home watching television.

WALI Dummy CCTV – $21 The best part of these WALI “cameras” is you don’t have to worry about any messy setup, wiring, Wi-Fi connections or anything else. Why? Because… they’re fake! Sometimes just the threat of home security can do as much to deter a burglar than having an actual fully-activated home security system. These devices, available on Amazon, aren’t actual cameras, but they look exactly like a security camera. They can be mounted outside to deceive a would-be burglar from entering your property.

It’s for the birds. Or that’s the way it seems as Sunnylands announced the opening of its Center & Gardens 201819 season. In addition to presenting new graphics and informational panels, a 3-D topographical model of the grounds offers visitors a birds’-eye view the entire Sunnylands compound, from the golf course on the historic estate to the winding paths of its world renown gardens.

But, it is Walter Annenberg’s love of birds that is the inspiration for this season’s main exposition. Entitled “Flight Plan: The Birds of Sunnylands,” the exposition showcases the images of National Geographic photographer Tim Laman, who spent two years documenting the amazing variety of birds that can be found at Sunnylands. His 52 breath-taking photographs document the success of the late ambassador’s desire to design his estate as a sanctuary for birds on the Pacific Flyway.

The Center & Gardens are now open Wednesday through Sundays, to give the public an extra day of free access to the gardens and more opportunities to secure tickets for the historic house tours.

It seems there is more than one bird sanctuary in Rancho Mirage. There is the plush Sunnylands, and across the street the more modest Rancho Mirage Country Club, and then there is Sparky.

We know about Sparky, a lime green parrot, because he flew the coup, leaving his condominium while his two-legged caregivers were out of town.

His four-footed friends, who shared Sparky’s residence, stayed behind keeping a watchful eye on the errant parrot.

The end of Sparky’s freedom came as homeowners mobilized in golf carts eventually caught the bird in a pool net and returned him home. It was hardly a glamorous moment, but Sparky had several stories to tell about his adventure and, from the squawking coming from his parlor, he was relishing every bit of it.

Meanwhile, the Sunset Tower Hotel was the site for Entertainment Weekly to celebrate TV’s biggest weekend with its annual pre-Emmy party honoring the 2018 nominees and the stars of the new fall TV season. They all came together with presenting sponsor L’Oreal Paris to celebrate this year’s accomplishments and toast the very best in television.

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 (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.co m, using the file number assigned to this case 1749785. 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.

Chairman 2014 Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons

From The Publisher

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tuesday Sept 11, we did not receive any mail as of 10:30 p.m. The next morning, we had received a delivery but it belonged to our neighbor which I delivered.

Also on Wednesday Sept. 12 at 11 a.m., I received our mail delivered by a neighbor, again misdirected. This is a continuing problem of mail going to neighbors and their mail ending up in our mail box. Often, the address is 6 to 8 blocks away from our street.

This is the first time I have written a complaint about this deplorable mail service condition. I intend to do so in the future until it is corrected.

If others do the same, collectively, we just may see corrective action taken to resolve this ongoing problem.

Herb Young ****** I am writing to say that still our Beverly Hills mail delivery…sucks. We have lived here 30 years and the last half dozen+ years have been terrible for being able to get basic adequate mail delivery.

Vacation mail stops are highly undependable, maybe even non existent, and I don’t know it yet, we often get other peoples’ mail and sometimes we receive extremely old mail. One deliverer even broke our mail box slot, whilesome leave all mail on the doormat.

We have different mail deliverers all the time, and none of them don’t seem very… alert.

We get mail delivered at all times of a day–even into the night while other days we may get no mail, which for us is most unusual. We live on Lasky Drive and are very concerned with this problem!

Tina Cooper ****** The Beverly Hills City Council has endorsed Proposition 10 on the November ballot. The measure would repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act of 1995–a “gift to property owners” (in the words of a landlord) that has long tied the hands of any locality that would want to find local solutions to local problems arising from the crisis in rental housing in California.

Thanks to Costa-Hawkins, any household that rents in a building built after 1995 enjoys no local tenant protection. In Beverly Hills that means some of our neighbors would not benefit from a capped allowed annual rent increase, for example, or a relocation fee if evicted. Their call to the new Rent Stabilization Program office would be rebuffed because state law exempts them from our ordinance. (Most mistakenly believe they have a rent cap and other RSO protections.)

City Council endorsed Proposition 10 because it would undo the state preemption under Costa-Hawkins and return a measure of local control over rental housing to Beverly Hills, where it belongs. In fact the endorsement comports perfectly with this plank of City’s legislative platform: “Support and pursue the repeal of state laws that affect local control on housing and land use.”

The Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles predicts diminished rental property values and hints darkly at a Socialist conspiracy. In fact, Proposition 10 only affords localities the autonomy which was stripped by CostaHawkins. If it passes, our City is no more likely to adopt strict rent control than to usher in a revolutionary program of land reform and redistribution. It is not who we are.

Don’t let AAGLA “red alerts” and prophesies of economic disaster fool you. The rental property owners in Beverly Hills who have spoken out against Proposition 10 will lose not a single dollar of net operating income if it passes.

Mark Elliot Founder of the Beverly Hills Renters Alliance ****** After reviewing the Beverly Hills Planning Commission’s Sept. 13 hearing, I was appalled and disgusted at the attacks against the Courier’s reporter Victoria Talbot.

Specifically, Farshid Joe Shooshani suggested Ms. Talbot was under the influence of drugs when she wrote her accurate and truthful story the prior week about his conduct as a commissioner. It is deeply disturbing that a sitting commissioner would target a journalist of her abilities and reputation.

If it was not for the free press in Beverly Hills and Ms. Talbot’s tireless efforts, many of these matters would never see the light of day or be subject to public scrutiny. It is equally more repugnant knowing she has been sober in recovery for decades. To imply her stories are the product of “smoking” something is a affront to all persons in recovery and an affront to female journalists around the globe.

Commissioner Shooshani continues to embarrass Beverly Hills and he has leap frogged from attacking residents to attacking the media that diligently covers and scrutinizes his conduct as a sitting commissioner. Shame on him!

Ronald Richards Publisher’s Note: Farshid Joe Shooshani has not followed the oath he swore to uphold. When he became a commissioner, his lack of preparation for meetings was obvious and he still shows a lack of The following assaults, burglaries, and grand thefts have been reported by BHPD. knowledge and disregard for the Streets are usually indicated by block numbers. code sections.

Cartoon for the Courier by Janet Salter

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 21). You'll perform tremendous feats in May. Your devotion brings someone up. A team will help you achieve a personal goal in July. It's the extra action steps you take in August that will net you new fans and customers. Taurus and Pisces adore you VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A surge of inner determination will be your lovely parting gift as the sun prepares to leave your part of the sky. You'll push forward, no hesitation, and face life headon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The best way to handle compliments is to turn them around, flattering the kindness and observation of the giver. These and other niceties are old hat to you. The cosmic attention coming your way will activate your social grace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll make the first call, and you'll also be the one to repeat call when the other person isn't calling you back. That doesn't make you less powerful; it makes you more in control of the relationship's destiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People from the past will figure in and you'll find out what they're up to. You'll also note what's changed -- your entire self-concept, for starters. Because you see yourself in a new light, the world does, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Gather more information to satisfy your curiosity or to help yourself understand a situation better, but don't worry about passing judgment. This one is not for you to decide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Unfortunately, just because it's called a game doesn't automatically make it fun. But the players can make up the difference today, so invite your favorite people to join you in this “game.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You have a talent for relating to those whose education and culture is different from your own and this will come in handy today as your life is enhanced by connecting with those from other walks of life.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr.19). People are so complex that they often don't even know their own reasons for taking a certain action.

Introspection only captures but the tiny fraction of a thought process. So go easy on yourself. You had your reasons.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). If you haven't decided what goals to set for yourself, don't rush. Your sincere desire to be useful and helpful will propel you forward better than any other ambition would.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be reassessing what matters to you. It's almost as if your priorities come up for review when the sun is about to change signs, and today you'll be reassessing what matters to you in order to better plan your future.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Staying healthy is about prevention, eating right, sleeping long and being happy. Later you'll be glad you put today's energy toward creating better habits around selfcare.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The zoom function of your mind is touchy, and you'll have to check yourself to keep from getting too analytical. Every action counts for something, but no actions count for everything. Hopefully, that takes some of the pressure off.
