Pritzker family's $15M gift to UCLA supports research on environment, sustainability The charitable foundation of Los Angeles philanthropists Anthony and Jeanne Pritzker has donated $15 million to UCLA to support environmental and sustainability research aimed at helping Los Angeles and cities around the globe confront 21st-century challenges.

The gift builds upon the work of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability (IoES) by creating several new endowments. To attract top faculty, the funds establish up to five faculty chairs, including a $5 million endowed Pritzker

Distinguished Chair in Environment and Sustainability.

This is the first distinguished chair created as part of the upcoming Centennial Campaign, which is expected to formally launch in 2014.

The donation will also endow a center for urban sustainability that will focus research on the vital challenge of creating more sustainable cities, especially a more sustainable Los Angeles.

A $2 million endowment will support up to four Pritzker

chairs in sustainability designed to attract promising young investigators and encourage joint appointments between the IoES and other UCLA schools and departments.

"A great university needs great people, and exceptional faculty are an absolutely vital part of what makes UCLA one of the finest universities in the world," Tony Pritzker said. "Our goal is to make sure the brightest minds continue to flock to UCLA, helping to ensure its strength into the future."

A $5 million endowment will support the California Center for Urban Sustainability at UCLA, which will build upon the research done under the center's previous name, the California Center for Sustainable Communities. The donation recognizes that for the first time in history more than half of the world's population lives in cities, and an estimated 70 percent of people will do so by 2050. The California Center for Urban Sustainability will allow the IoES to continue its groundbreaking research on maximizing cities' energy and water efficiency, protecting urban biodiversity, and improving quality of life. The center's goal will be to create solutions that not only improve Los Angeles but also help the majority of people on the planet.

Anne Schumacher, Global Director of Communications hosted the Wednesday evening special event at Christofle, located on Brighton Way, showing special new silver patterns and objects.

Completing the Pritzker foundation's gift to the IoES is $3 million to create an annual symposium in conjunction with the awarding of the $100,000 Pritzker

Sustainability Prize. A $1 million endowment will support the symposium, and a $2 million endowment will create the annual prize. The IoES director, advised by an internationally renowned panel of judges, will review applications from around the world. They will select the invention, policy, economic strategy or other novel solution that demonstrates the greatest impact on environmental sustainability from the previous two.

The IoES offers a degree in environmental science, one of UCLA's fastest-growing majors, and boasts an interdisciplinary roster of more than 90 faculty members. The growth of the institute is in part a of the university's commitment to researching environmental sustainability issues.

"When we think about the environment, we think about places like our national parks, but it's also very much the cities we live in," MacDonald said. "The Pritzkers are doing

more than just contributing to UCLA. They're creating pathways for UCLA to solve some of this century's greatest challenges."

The $15 million gift is part of a multifaceted $20 million donation the Pritzker Family Foundation, reflecting the philanthropic family's commitment to UCLA and to addressing critical societal challenges. The remainder of the $20 million gift includes a $3 million endowment for grants to foster youth who are UCLA students and $2 million to support expanded arts programs for children and families at UCLA's Hammer Museum.

The Pritzkers' support will further bolster the institute's existing strengths in business and urban sustainability - including energy efficiency and storage, renewable energy, water treatment, and water supply. The five endowments established by the gift aim to help the IoES attract the best new faculty and students.

The Pritzkers are heavily involved in a wide range of philanthropic activities. Tony Pritzker has long been a champion of UCLA, where he chairs the IoES board of advisers and sits on the board of the Hammer Museum. He is managing partner and co-founder of The Pritzker Group, a private equity firm, and partner of the venture capital firm New World Ventures.

THE PETS OF BEVERLY HILLS

By Robert S. Anderson Special to The Courier Children and dogs and their companionship and love for one another was never more apparent than at The Pet Show and Parade held at Hawthorne School. The first of these annual events was on May 19, 1928 (right photo) under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher Association.

All pitched in to make these events spectacular shows with numerous booths offering games to play or things to eat, a luncheon on the patio was served with a program in the auditorium that included a doll show and a children’s movie.

The dog show portion had large and small participants whether they be mystery or pedigreed from Mexican chihuahuas and Pekingese to the larger Great Danes, St. Bernards and dobermans.

Throw in a couple of Boston’s, Scotties and a number of cocker spaniels and you have the makings of a great dog show.

These were just the varieties of dogs, mix in a wide range of cats, rats and roosters, a goat, turtles, ducks, snakes and a baby coyote, and you have a pet show.

The lower playground was used to house and tether these pets during the costume parade. The parade that preceded the judging of the pet show was led by the school band down the streets of Beverly Hills and, in later years, viewed by thousands hoping to get a glance at a celebrity and their child.

The judges were parents, some of whom just happened to be celebrities (i.e. Gloria Swanson, Mrs. Elizabeth Lloyd Smith, Mrs. Buster Crabbe,

etc.) who would then graciously hand out the blue ribbons to the excited and proud children.

While this was all play for the children, the parents took their pets much more seriously holding sanctioned specialty pet events like “The Fox Terrier Show” held on the tennis courts of The Beverly Hills Hotel in 1924, which included divisions for both wire-haired and smooth breeds. Some of the entries were owned by movie stars and carried names like “Beverly Bimbo”and ”Beverly Brimfull.”

The Beverly Hills police station was becoming a clearing house for dozens of lost pets. It was getting a little disruptive and crowded–to say the least–requiring Beverly Hills to get its own dogcatcher and a

As Beverly Hills approaches the 2014 celebration of the Centennial since its 1914 incorporation as a City, this is the seventh in an ongoing series of articles by historian Robbie Anderson which originally appeared in The Courier in the summer of 2005. These will run on a frequent basis.

place to house these animals. It did so in May, 1931 paying him $5 a day plus 25 cents for each dog captured without a license.

The City ordinance states that every dog over the age of six-months must be licensed.

The dogs which had run afoul of the law were held at Eugene Jones Dog and Cat Hospital at 8670 Santa Monica Blvd. waiting there to be bailed out.

Some of the homes in Beverly Hills were literally becoming zoos. When actor Charles Bickford said he owned three terriers, seven mongrels, a schnauzer, two greyhounds, three cats, a parrot, a pony, two horses and goldfish, you knew things were out of hand.

In Jan. 1931 an ordinance was passed that defined limits on the number of fowls and animals that could be kept in the City and were as follows: • Not more than 30 chickens, turkeys, pigeons, doves hares, rabbits, geese, ducks or similar fowls. This section applies to property within 300feet of any dwelling...No rooster over the age of four-months.

Limits were set to one cow, one donkey, one mule, one hog and one burro and not more than two goats or more than one male goat exceeding sixmonths old. This section extended the limits to 1,000 feet.

• The dog and cat clause, as expected, affected the greatest number of residents, and it stipulated that not more than four of either in excess of six months of age be kept.

The breeding of dogs was a passion for many including Harold Lloyd who had kennels built outside the limits of Beverly Hills where he could raise his champion canines unimpeded on a piece of land he owned which is now the site of the Mormon Temple on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Some residents found trendy to have monkeys includ-

ing Virginia Robinson and The Beverly Hills Hotel which had large cages housing multiple monkeys.

It was suggested that an official monkey catcher be appointed after numerous monkey escapes created havoc in town including an attack at Claudette Colbert’s home at 709 N. Roxbury Dr. after “Monk,“ a well known offender in town jumped through her window and dashed about her house ripping curtains before his capture in a bedsheet by two BH radio policemen. After detainment, it was released on bail back to its owner.

A sighting by a Mrs. O’Conner of 723 N. Elm Dr. reported a different monkey was jumping from “pillar to post” where it would be in a palm tree one moment then might appear on a garage roof the next, scaring children and waking sleeping babies. This went on three straight days before its capture.

Another monkey was also terrorizing the Sunset-Bedford section of town during a week long escapade before being captured and held at California Pest Exterminator Co. but not before John Merwe sustained a severe bite on his hand while putting a leash on it.

• Horses were in another

class all by themselves, requiring larger estates to house and not for the smaller homeowner.

The ordinances that were passed stated that nuisances will not be tolerated in Beverly Hills being defined as; “Any fowl, animal, machine, substance, condition or situation in which by reason of noise, odor, or circumstances.

Physically annoying to persons of ordinary sensitiveness or which may occasion physical discomfort to persons in the City of Beverly Hills.

Three complaints by persons not in the same family constitute prima facie evidence of violation. Maximum penalty was set at $300 or three months in jail.

Regardless whether you owned a pig, a dog, a cat or for that matter a horse, these were and are your best friends and always glad to see you.

LANDMARK—The 76 Station is one of five properties to be recommended for landmark status.

76 Station Recognized as Historic Landmark City Responds to Gershwin Demo

By Victoria Talbot At their quarterly meeting October 9, the Cultural Heritage Commission will confirm five new recommendations for Historic Landmark designation.

For consideration are the Union 76 Station at the corner of Crescent and Santa Monica Blvd., the entire length of the Beverly Gardens Park and three Millard Sheets murals located at 9245 Wilshire Blvd., 9145 Wilshire and on the City Hall parking structure.

The 76 Station with its distinctive design has been a Beverly Hills fixture for decades.

Sheets beloved murals are world-renowned. Recommendations will then be presented to the City Council for ap-

proval.

Since it’s inception in May of 2011, Cultural Heritage commissioners have worked hard to identify properties to recommend for landmark designation. While many of these are public buildings, parks and art, some are private homes. In a town where it is not unusual to live next door to someone whose name is known worldwide, creating a meaningful criteria for such a designation can be tricky.

“Beverly Hills has been home to many prominant and famous people, particularly in the entertainment industry,” said Commission Chair Richard Waldo. “That alone doesn’t qualify a house to be designated as an historic land-

mark. A property must be the ‘best of the best.’ We set the bar high.”

So far, in 18 months, the commission has identified and landmarked 14 properties.

Several of the properties are private homes, ranging from the distinctive “Witch’s House” on Walden Drive to the elegant Waverly Mansion.

Many homes in the Trousdale Estates are being studied, where Hal Levitt, Wallace Neff and Paul Williams designed homes.

The City s conducting an extensive survey to discover homes that may be eligible for landmark consideration. Once completed, homeowners, home buyers, realtors and the City will have the information

to guide decisions regarding demolition of properties. The ordinance employs incentives to encourage homeowners to choose preservation.

The recent demolition of the residence of Ira Gershwin at 1021 No. Roxbury Drive received national attention after an article appeared in the LA Times. “It is a gap we need to plug,” said Waldo.

That Ira Gershwin lived and worked there alone is not enough to win landmark status. The home’s original architect was not on the City’s Master list. The home was subsequently remodeled by Master Architect John Woolf.

The LA Times reported erroneously that “because Woolf appears on the city’s list of local master architects, the demolition application should have been flagged for further review.”

“Master Architect John Woolf did re-model the residence. The home was subsequently worked on by other architects,” reads a statement from the City.

“In future, staff will research beyond the original architect of record to see if other Master Architects also played subsequent roles in the evolution of buildings over time.

Again, this would not necessarily be enough to qualify the

property for historic designation,” read a statement released by the City.

Under the city ordinance, “the home would not qualify as a landmark only because Ira Gershwin lived there.”

There must be “architectural consistency” as well.

The significance of the demolition is a special disappointment for Waldo. In 2005, Waldo was among those leading the effort to preserve the home of George Gershwin at 1019 No. Roxbury Drive. The brothers had lived and worked there, but the home was demolished.

“They [the City] had an ordinance with no teeth. We couldn’t get it saved,” he said.

The Commission will address this issue at the meeting next week in the hopes that they can prevent such losses in the future.

Perhaps most surprising to several in attendance, beyond Fabe’s exhortation to drug-test teachers and refrain from testing students, was the participation of Dohm who had previously told The Courier and several in the community that he would not be campaigning. “I think I can make a pretty significant contribution,” Dohm said in his opening remarks.

In addition to all four candidates clear commitment to strengthening Beverly Hills schools, Korbatov, the lone incumbent candidate, emphasized her “battle-tested” approach to tackling important issues confronting the community. “The last four years have been meaningful and rewarding and challenging; all sometimes in one day,” she said.

One of the hallmark’s of Korbatov’s time on the Board of Education is her continued fight against Metro running a subway tunnel directly under the high school.

Fabe criticized the board’s recent decision to hire a wellconnected law firm to lobby on the district’s behalf against Metro’s current plan.

The bigger issues, he said, involved how the teens would distribute energy sources, effect climate change and solve problems. “Seventy-one percent of

October 4, 2013 | Page 13 Beverly High students will live at a lower standard of living than your parents,” Fabe said.

“And you better figure out how to change that.”

All candidates agreed that the student perspective was essential for strengthening the district, although Korbatov was the only candidate to suggest a novel method - an anonymous

feedback form for students to grade teachers.

“It’s crucial that we always listen to our students,” Goldstein said. “If you’re not invested personally in educational system, you’re not as apt to advocate.”

K And B Surgical Center Advances Robotic Procedures

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Awarded $9.5 Million NIH Grant For Sickle Cell Disease Research

K and B Surgical Center, an outpatient medical facility with a variety of surgical specialties, had announced the addition of the da Vinci Si Surgical System. K and B Surgical Center is one of a few outpatient centers in the world with this robotic system.

Robotic surgery has brought with it a new forefront of technology and innovation that allows surgeons to take minimally invasive techniques one step further.

Recent technological advancements in robotic surgery provide unequaled precision, dexterity and control that enables minimally invasive singleincision surgery (surgery performed through one small incision in the belly-button) to occur with many complex surgical procedures.

Robotic procedures now performed at K and B Surgical Center include gynecological, urological, pediatric, general, bariatric and and colorectal surgery.

At 9033 Wilshire Blvd.

Suite 210, K and B Surgical Center delivers surgical innovation, private recovery rooms, and an infection-free environment.

Thomas Coates, MD, section head of hematology in the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) division of Hematology Oncology and principal investigator at The Saban Research Institute, along with four other co-principal investigators, recently received a five-year, $9.5 million grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.

The award will fund research into the underlying physiology of sickle cell disease (SCD) and identification of biomarkers that will aid in the development of new treatment options.

“Sickle cell disease is a devastating disorder and progress toward developing

Los Angeles,” says Dr. Jennifer Lang, gynecological surgeon for K and B Surgical Center.

“There is literally no better system in the world that a surgeon could have access to. It is amazing that I get to combine this level of cutting- edge technology with a calm spa-like atmosphere.

“Outpatient robotic surgery at K and B Surgical Center has all the benefits without the hassle at a traditional hospital,” says Matthew H.T. Bui, MD, PhD, a specialist in robotic and minimally invasive urology.

There are many potential benefits to single incision (bellybutton) robotic surgery, including a single incision, minimal scarring, shorter surgical stay, less blood loss, less pain, and a faster recovery time.

new treatments for battling this disease has been limited by our inability to measure Dr. Thomas Coates the basic physiology of the disorder in humans. Our approach involves sampling multiple physiological variables, using computational modeling to determine the underlying pathophysiology and to identify biomarkers of interest,” says Coates, also a professor of pediatrics and pathology at USC’s Keck School of Medicine. “By translating these biomarkers

into standardized tools, we will provide the research community with a way to monitor disease status and measure the effectiveness of new therapies for patients with SCD.” Sickle cell disease is a lifethreatening genetic disorder of hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that supplies oxygen to the body.

Instead of rounded, flexible discs, the red blood cells in SCD patients are stiff and crescent-shaped. These sickled cells can become lodged in the blood vessels and cause painful episodes that deplete the body’s oxygen supply and lead to organ damage, especially in the lungs, kidneys and brain.

Sickled cells also break down

Early Brain-Imaging Test Helpful For Alzheimer’s Patients, UCLA Study Finds

Specialists Add To Ear, Throat Patient Services At USC’s Keck Medicine

Patients suffering from early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease who were diagnosed sooner than usual using a brain imaging test received Alzheimer-specific medications earlier than those who did not have the brain imaging results available to their doctors or themselves.

These patients also had significantly better clinical outcomes during the subsequent years they were clinically monitored, UCLA researchers have found for the first time.

The Metabolic Cerebral Imaging in Incipient Dementia study is an ongoing national clinical trial sponsored by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

These interim data found that patients whose doctors gleaned information from a brain PET scan performed with the tracer FDG—which measures energy being used throughout regions of the brain—did better over two years than those

whose doctors were randomized to not have access to the scan information.

“The patients whose doctors were made aware of the Alzheimer’s metabolic pattern in their brains received Alzheimer’s therapies sooner, and did better than patients whose doctors did not have the benefit of that information,” said study principal investigator Daniel Silverman, a UCLA professor of molecular and medical pharmacology. “ During the subsequent two years after their PET scans, these patients had superior executive function, better memory abilities and greater preservation of overall cognitive function, providing the first direct evidence that patients whose early Alzheimer’s disease is revealed

by FDG-PET will do better than patients with the same condition, but with their brain metabolism pattern remaining un(see ‘IMAGING,’ page 15)

USC has recruited four physicians specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that affect hearing, balance, speech, swallowing, sleep and facial function to join its faculty physician practice, providing substantial expertise and diverse research interests in emerging subspecialties in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery.

“We brought in a team of doctors who are among the best and most experienced in their respective sub-specialties to broaden the scope of USC’s existing clinical and research program in otolaryngology,” said John K. Niparko, M.D., professor and chair of the department of otolaryngology-head & neck surgery at the USC Keck School of Medicine.

“Patients at Keck Medicine are the real winners, having access to a group of experts who are passionate about helping individuals get back to their daily routine.”

• Leading otologist/surgeon Rick A. Friedman, M.D., Ph.D., most recently practicing at the House Clinic in L.A., has been named professor of otolaryngology and neurosurgery at the Keck School and division director of otology, neurotology and skull base surgery. An expert in the care of acoustic neuroma, a noncancerous tumor on the nerve connecting the ear to the brain, Friedman will see patients who suffer from diseases that affect the ears, balance system and skull base.

Teen Headed For Delinquency; Can This Marriage Survive The Empty Nest?

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: My wife and I have two children. We have a 16-year-old son and a daughter who is 10. Our son used to get bullied. Now, he has joined the bully crowd and is ditching school, getting D’s and F’s in most classes, smoking weed, breaking curfew, and lying to us. We just bought him a brand new Honda accord for his 16th birthday. Maybe if I get him the new Audi A5 he’s been begging for it might build his self-esteem and he will no longer need to prove himself. Shall I trade the car up?

Gary P. A. Dear Gary: Just one question….Are you for real? Your high-school son is failing classes, breaking every rule and you want to reward him with an upgraded fancy car? No way, Jose!

Here’s the scoop. You and your wife need to have sit down pow wow with your son. Clearly tell him you love him and want to give him the privilege of using the new Honda in exchange for regular school attendance, getting passing grades in all classes, respecting curfew, telling the truth, and no drugs. Non-negotiable.

Let him know that if he is caught breaking any of these conditions he will lose all car privileges. That’s it. Then, do it.

If you don’t follow-through huge problems await your son and you.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: Our 18-year-old twin son and daughter left home six weeks ago for their freshman year in college. My husband and I are now staring at each other with nothing to talk about. Over the years I guess most of our conversations were about the kids. Now what, Dr. Fran?

Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your

Questions Dear Rita: The truth is now upon you. You probably neglected nurturing each other with attention and ongoing communication Heavy output toward the kids and a drought for each other.

You didn’t say so, but I’d bet my last nickel that sex is history and a thing of the past. Your task at hand is to rediscover each other. Try to remember the things that attracted you to him in the first place.

Empty nest parents must take a hard look at the quality and foundation of their initial marital relationship. If there was a crack in the foundation of that relationship raising the children may have been a welcome distraction.

When the kids leave home, parents have no choice but to face and deal with each other. Try it as a couple. If you need clean-slate third party try a few meetings with a couples counselor or your clergyman. Think of this as an opportunity to write the script of chapter two to your marriage.

real estate empire), Stanley Black credited his Stanley Black said he traced his philanthropic spirit back to his father, who travelled to Haifa, Israel to meet Jews coming from Concentration Camps following the war, in addition to giving where he felt there was a need in Los Angeles.

“He was very active in downtown Los Angeles,” Black said, “giving to all charities, all children’s homes.”

Joyce and Stanley’s son, Jack, and daughters Janis Black Warner and Jill Black Zalben, all work at Black Equities, serve as directors of the Stanley and Joyce Black Family Foundation and the entire family is excited about this

gift. “[Children’s Hospital] is there for the community,” Stanley Black said. “We do for the community.”

Children’s Hospital, named by US News & World Report as the best children’s hospital on the West Coast, is particularly dear to the Black’s hearts, having been responsible for saving Joyce Black’s hearing when she was a child through ground-breaking treatment.

When Joyce Black was a child, she was stricken with mastoiditis, an ear infection that could lead to loss of hearing. Though today the condition is easily treated with antibiotics, she underwent a double mastoidectomy, a procedure that removes an infected part of the bone behind the

ear, saving her from permanent hearing loss.

In honor of the donation, Children’s Hospital will rename its Gateway Building the Joyce and Stanley Black Family Building.

“This incredible gift will go toward the life-saving and life-giving programs that help the 97,000 children treated annually by our hospital,” says Richard D. Cordova, FACHE, president and CEO of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

“Joyce and Stanley are longtime supporters of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and their generous donation reflects their devotion to providing the best medical care to our children.”

Located in the heart of the hospital’s campus, the Joyce and Stanley Black Family

BEVERLY HILLS Building faces Sunset Boulevard and serves as the physical link between the hospital’s longstanding care centers – the Outpatient Tower, the McAlister Building and Mary Duque Building – and the sixstory, 347-bed, state-of-the-art Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion, which opened in 2011. About 117,000 people enter the building every month, energized by the warm and colorful interior designed by world famous Walt Disney Imagineers.

The building also overlooks another Children’s Hospital Los Angeles treasure – the Joyce and Stanley Black and Family Healing and Meditation Garden, an outdoor quarter-acre relaxation garden that was named in 2004 in honor of the family’s $2 million gift.

The picturesque garden serves as the location for many historic and important hospital events, including the hospital’s Annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony.

The first floor includes the hospital’s majestic entryway – the Mary Hart and Burt Sugarman Guest Registration Center and the Walt Disney Company Foundation Reception Area.

The building then opens up into the colorful John Stauffer Lobby, home to the Weingart Admitting Area and the Gabriel C. and Mary Duque Gift Shop. Child friendly, the lobby area also includes the PL-A-Y Tower, where children can visit different Los Angeles communities, and LA-Phant, a beloved elephant-shaped structure for kids to crawl on.

There’s also the tranquil Cynthia L. and William E. Simon, Jr. Foundation Aquarium and the Cheryl and Haim Saban Story Corner, where volunteers read and do crafts with children. Above the Blood Donor Center on the second floor is the hospital’s Burtie Green Bettingen Surgery Center, providing 14 state-of-the-art surgery suites, recovery rooms and private consultation rooms, with direct access to critical care surgical units in the Anderson Pavilion.

In a recent conversation with The Courier , Stanley Black fondly recalled meeting his wife of 57 years when she was just 17. Soon after the two L.A. natives first met on the beach in Santa Monica, they eloped to Las Vegas.

Throughout his Beverly Hills office, crowded with Judaica, paintings, accolades, photographs and articles about the Blacks’ tradition of philanthropy and impact on the L.A. landscape, are over a dozen quotes.

They’re all his favorites he says, but there are a few that resonate a bit more these days: “From listening comes wisdom; Say what you mean and do what you say; Peace of mind is wealth.”

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens"

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 4). Your needs are many but don’t expect one person to fulfill all of them. That’s why broadening your social, professional and spiritual life between now and the end of the year will serve you well. January shows you helping a friend. February brings an improved domestic environment. Capricorn and Scorpio people adore you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are unusually powerful today. Not only can you visualize what needs to be done, but you also can see how to do it. Write your plans down, as they will come in a rush of divine inspiration that may be hard to recapture later.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Approval-seeking is the death of charisma. Figure out what you want out of a situation other than the acceptance of others, and focus there.It’s the only way to win now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A relationship improves through communication that connects you. But if you don't know what to say, trust you can communicate just by being together. Words come and go. Silence is eternal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You've shielded your mind from certain information, appropriately so. But now you want to see things as they really are. You'll take the blinders off and accept this as your new starting place.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one’s looking, yet you’ll still do what’s right. You believe in karma, and also believe as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus stated, “a man’s character is his fate.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Is it nobler to get things done or leave things undone? That is the philosophical question of the day. When answered correctly, life is suddenly much easier.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Out with the old, and plant a few seeds for the new. If you can’t manage to get rid of all the old, don’t worry. As it is in most kinds of planting, the rotten past provides nutrient-rich soil.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). As you come into your own at work, the results will turn a few heads, netting you more eyeball time than some of your peers. Take it in stride to not arouse jealousies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Seems some around you dance on the fine line between diplomacy and lying.

Your social acuity allows you to know the difference. As for yourself, you’d rather just tell the truth.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You avoid trouble by correctly judging a person's nature. The honest have innocent eyes. The guilty seem to be repenting for sins that haven't been committed yet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Social opinion matters to you, but your purpose goes way beyond dressing well and looking good. As you pursue what really matters, appearances mean less to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22).

Sometimes it’s better to accomplish something without worrying about getting the credit, but this is not one of them. It’s essential to your future you publicly own what you do.

October 4, 2013 | Page 25 BEL-AIR GARDEN—The stunning Hannah Carter Garden in Bel-Air has been at the forefront of controversy ever since UCLA undertook efforts to sell the garden it had agreed to maintain “in perpetuity” following an amendment to the original 1964 agreement that bequeathed the garden to the university.

GARDEN (Continued from page 5)

Garden.

The traditional Japanese garden, which was bequeathed to the university in 1964 by former UC Regent Edward Carter sparked the ire of garden preservationists and the heirs of Hannah Carter, who subse-

quently filed suit against UCLA to maintain its promise, when the university undertook efforts to begin the process of selling the garden just months after Hannah Carter died - even though it had agreed to maintain the garden in perpetuity.

Last month, the Appellate Court of Appeal unanimously voted to uphold the prelimi-

Another Phobia By Roger Lefkon

THE FEAR OF BEING BUGGED What has three letters and can be described as a computer defect, a hidden microphone, an ability to annoy and an organism causing disease. If you answered a bug go to the top of the ant hill.Throughout the years there have been many varieties of bugs, friendly ones such as Bugs Bunny, the Volkswagen Love Bug and of course Paul, John, George and Ringo. There have also been unfriendly bugs like Buggsy Segal, Bugs Moran and the surveillance bug.

The bugs that I fear the most are Bees, spiders, bed bugs and ants and I’m not talking about my aunt Bertha, aunt Charlotte or aunt Jessie. They were scary looking but lacked the killer instinct with the possible exception of Jessie who resembled a grand piano, only with two legs, took no prisoners and was clearly a person that you did not want to bug. Like the petite ant she could lift 50 times her weight and when intoxicated always fell over on her right side often taking my unsuspecting Uncle Moe down with her.

While I am phobic about all kinds of bugs ants pose the least threat to me unless of course I am confronted by a colony of the dreaded red fire ants known for their painful venom releasing sting. The use of pesticides has been largely ineffective against these insects and has recently been replaced by the good cop/bad cop approach, first hit them with liquid nitrogen and if that doesn’t do the trick move on to psychological counseling. Colonies of ants can extend for miles and number in the billions.

That’s a lot of Queens supervising legions of disgruntled male workers most of whom receive no overtime, have to contend with short lunch breaks, have limited health coverage and die at an early age. It’s not unlike today’s society where woman routinely outlive men.

Spiders are another story. Although curds and whey is not my favorite snack, like Little Miss Muffet, I also have an intense fear of spiders especially Black Widows, Scorpions, and, with all due respect to Fred Astaire, the fragile but menacing Daddy Long Legs who, with three sets of eyes, is an ophthalmologists dream come true. If you come across a spider sporting a red hour glass it’s unquestionably a deadly Black Widow so give it a blast of Raid and if that fails just run away as fast as you can be-

nary injunction that L.A. Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole issued on July 27, 2012, calling the university “duplicitous” in its attempt to sell the garden.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Walter Moore of the Law Offices of John R. Walton told The Courier that publishing the opinion would have allowed lawyers in other disputes to site the case

as a matter of precedent.

“We think this opinion’s important enough and helpful enough to the public to be sited for publication,” Moore said.

UCLA spokesperson Steve Ritea told The Courier: “We continue to believe that selling the Japanese garden is in the best interests of the university.

Campus resources are best applied toward UCLA’s academic mission rather than toward a garden that serves no teaching or research purpose and lacks the parking or shuttle space to operate as a public asset. The bidding and sale process will remain suspended until this matter is resolved.”

cause they are more dangerous than having Bob Woodward on your trail. Scorpions, most notably the infamous “Deathstalker” love the warm weather and after a lifetime of spewing poison and paralyzing and killing their victims, many retire to the desert communities of Palm Springs and Phoenix where they hang out under rocks and in the shoes and clothing of unsuspecting seniors. If you have curious youngsters in your family it’s always a good idea to have them check out dark places such as closets, attics, garages, basements and under the bed before you expose yourself to these potentially lethal areas of your home. If they fail to return from their reconnaissance mission you can always go to the “Kids R Us” website and order a replacement. They come in all popular shapes and sizes and can be ordered for next day delivery. In a life and death situation where immediate help is required you can always try tweeting Spiderman.

Let’s not forget Bed Bugs who are experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

About the size of a Granny Smith apple seed and sporting six legs, they reside in your mattress, pillow, and in my case teddy bear, waiting for you to fall asleep so, like Count Dracula, they can invade your warm body in search of nutrition. Now what are you gonna do? Call Bed Bug Busters of course. Their mission statement, “We bite back” Bees are another class of bugs to be avoided. Don’t let the fact that they produce honey, beeswax and play an important role in pollination lull you into a false sense of security. Until recently the threat of killer bees has existed only in movies such as The Swarm, The Killer Bee Nightmare and in supermarket tabloids.

Now the threat is real as Africanized Bees, who have set up shop in Brazil, are arriving in this country at an alarming rate, most without green cards or any expertise other then being bilingual. In Southern California, they have been known to chase their prey for miles through the streets of Beverly Hills, past Santa Monica and on to the beaches of Malibu where media moguls can witness their vicious attacks on closed circuit TV from their safe rooms.

A word of caution, although there a few good bees around like the Green Hornet and the Bee Gees, they are much sought after and cannot be counted on to be in the neighborhood when the bees commence their assault. When William Shakespeare wrote “To be, or not to be” what he really meant was beware of bees.

The native Angeleno had sporadic success as a Warner Brothers contract player, appearing in Key Largo and The Unsuspected. He later had minor roles in the Adventures

Of Superman and The Ten Commandments.

When Marilyn and Harry Lewis founded the first Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Boulevard in 1950, it was meant to be a place where actors could hang out. It eventually expanded to 24 locations and was sold for $29.2 million in 1987.

With their sons David and Adam from Kate Mantilini hosting the memorial, a video was shown and many friends and former employees spoke including actors Richard Benjamin, Paula Prentiss, Frances Davis and others.

What do Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, Mychael Danna, Sally Field, Richard Gere, Tom Hooper, Helen Hunt, Helen Mirren, Naomi Watts and Robert Zemeckis have in common? They were among the honorees at last January’s Palm Springs International Film Festival. An impressive “A-List;” but according to Harold Matzner, president of the Palm Springs International Film society, presenters of the event: “You haven’t seen anything yet.”

During this span, it has battled, and overcome so many adversities it could serve as an award-winning documentary about determination and dedication. But, that’s past–here’s the future.

The upcoming edition will begin on Friday, Jan. 3, with the much anticipated opening night screening and reception.

The closing night screening will take place on Sunday, Jan. 12, while the “Best of the Festival” screens all day Monday, Jan. 13. During the festival, 15 screens throughout Palm Springs will operate from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m. with more than 170 films from 65 countries including dozens of premieres.

The festival presents a majority of the films submitted for consideration in the “Best Foreign Language” category for the Oscars, as well as a large number

of American independent and international features and documentaries making their world, North American or U.S. premieres.

The truly stellar festival event will be the star-studded, multi-celebrity, paparazzicrowded, black tie awards gala - so big it has to be held in the Palm Springs Convention Center –on Saturday, Jan. 4. This is where individual stars are honored for their work in the fields of acting, directing, film scoring and a lifetime of theatrical achievements. Tickets and additional information are available at 760-322-2930. ****** If Mitch Gershenfeld, McCallum Theatre’s president/ CEO, is smiling more than usual these days, it’s because he and his staff have just filled in the dates and performers set to appear at the 1,100-seat live entertainment theater for the 2013/2014 season.

Long known for its diversity in entertainment as well as pricing, this season’s most expensive ticket ($125) at the McCallum, goes to the Oct. 9 bluegrass performance of Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, featuring Edie Brickell.

Compare this to $7, the season’s lowest admission price. It will get you entry to

the second annual McCallum’s Family Fun Day, featuring a variety of food and family-friendly games and activities in front of the theater beginning at noon, followed with a 3 p.m. performance by the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater, a blend of unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich, and the extraordinary talents of his performing (previously) shelter animal pets.

Tickets and more information are available online at www.mccallumtheatre.com. ****** The only thing similar about them is their first name: Kevin. But where one Kevin sells jewelry via TV and multiple mall locations, the other, Kevin Parker, is the discreet, knowledgeable West Coast representative of David Webb, New York-headquartered purveyors of exquisite jewelry for more than 60 years.

Dividing his time between the Desert and Beverly Hills, Parker has become the jeweler to the stars of Hollywood as well as the captains of industry.

But Parker can also be a good friend, as we found out last week at a birthday party that Parker hosted for the Yvonne Parks, the dedicated and dynamic mayor of Desert Hot Springs.

Also joining Parker in the celebrity booth at Spencer’s restaurant – anywhere Parker sits becomes the celebrity booth – was Aleda Lane, who wore enough gold and dia-

the show.

Next year’s show, which will be April 23 at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, is billed as “Tradition – The Jewish Legacy of Broadway” and is a tuneful journey of how the musicals we are familiar with came from the origins of Yiddish Theater and Tin Pan Alley more than 100 years ago, as illustrated by the works of the great Jewish composers and stars of the period, from Gershwin and Berlin to Schwartz and Sondheim to Fanny Brice and Barbara Streisand, Danny Kaye, Joel Grey and Al Jolson.

Tickets for this not-to-bemissed evening are available from the McCallum Theatre, 760-346-6505.

Page 28 | October 4, 2013 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. 11-0077030 Title Order No. 11-0061797 APN No. 4337-013028 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 10/26/2006.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by MITRA DEIHIMI, A MARRIED WOMAN AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY AS TO AN UNDIVIDED 50% INTEREST, AND HOMEYRA ARBABI, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, AS TO AN UNDIVIDED 50% INTEREST, AS TENANTS IN COMMON, dated 10/26/2006 and recorded 11/1/2006, as Instrument No. 06 2425104, in Book N/A, Page N/A, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 10/25/2013 at 1:00PM, In the main dining room of the Pomona Masonic Temple, located at 395 South Thomas Street, Pomona, California at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 848,850,852,852 1/2 HUNTLEY DR, WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA, 90069. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $1,438,969.04.

It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a

state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

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 a 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 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

THIS IS GOING EXACTLY AS PLANNED Just exactly how hard is it to connect the dots with the national government’s war on the American people?

What is today’s status report on the administration of President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid?

Outside our borders, let’s see: Russia reclaimed a major role in the Middle East it had lost to decades of competent foreign policy by Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. We are now largely irrelevant. China is developing super-capable space weapons, mass-producing ballistic missiles, new submarines, building a deep-water navy, already has a massive army (we don’t really care about that – it’s a long way from us, but their neighbors care). Al Qaeda grows daily and we withdraw. Israel is left dangling by a string from the charade of “moderate Iranian leadership” taking a phone call from the President.

Financially, the richest are getting massively richer while the middle sinks to the lower. The Wall Street Journal yesterday reported a comprehensive study on Obama’s recipe for destroying the work ethic. Obamacare is a complete disaster and we will be stuck with huge bills and marginal medical care. It will get worse as it grows.

Privacy? What’s that? Not one of us could escape the scrutiny of the National Security Agency and the Internal Revenue Service. People like to claim President Richard Nixon had an “enemies list.” They never mention that the IRS would not play ball with him, so his “list” went nowhere.

Not so with this President’s tax police. They target, they fire, they harass and destroy. When caught, they “plead the Fifth” and retire with a fat pension.

Now, supposedly, the U.S. Government is “shut down” because the Republican-controlled House of Representatives is putting up one last fight to stop nationalized, socialized (read: poor quality, unavailable) health care. The Constitution gives the House the power of the purse. The House voted to fund everything except Obamacare. It is the Democrats who “shut down government,” not the Republicans Instead of a national media shining a light on government as it is supposed to do, it is the screaming mob calling for execution of the few people trying to stand in the way of a national bureaucracy trampling our rights The three connected issues—Obamacare, the national deficit and the budget – are denounced by a majority of Americans. The people’s representatives, often lame though they are, are trying to reflect that view. Can’t find that story out there – the GOP funds everything else, and Obama shuts down parks, monuments, parking lots at Mount Vernon (which they don’t own), Obama closed public tours to the White House months ago.

Where is the reporting of this war on us? Nope. The “mainstream media” are controlled and operated by a group of radicals every bit as determined to crush the individual middle class American as Obama. In fact, they rotate in and out of his regime regularly. They are one and the same.

The “media”? A more accurate description would be the “Publicity Wing of the 21st Century Obama-Reid Party.”

Finances The United States won World War II and the Cold War because we could afford the price. What can we pay today? Even China won’t buy our bonds anymore. Our U.S. Treasury is keeping the faux-recovery going by printing money.We are Argentina but with a bigger credit limit.

Where is any reference to this wise quote from a freshman U.S. Senator?

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally.

Leadership means that, ‘the buck stops here.’

Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.

America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” ~ Sen. Barack H. Obama, March 2006 Connect the dots: Barack Obama promised to “change” America and our government.

Pundits may carp that he is “disengaged,” “doesn’t show leadership,” is “failing to preside over compromise,” “has lost influence in the world.” What bunk. This is exactly what he promised to do. He promised a fundamental diminution of the American nation and he has done it. It is his legacy from his youth as he was tutored by an actual “card-carrying Communist,” when being one was anathema, and mentored by an actual bomb-detonating terrorist. Obama promised to reduce America, to strip its producers and workers of their wealth, and destroy our ability to function in the world. He has done exactly that Barack Obama with Sen. Reid are truly transforming the United States from a liberty-loving free people, earning, working and producing their way to great prosperity, into an amorphous mass that is controlled, fed, paid, monitored, and manipulated by a socialist ruling class with Bolshevist tendencies funded by public money, administered by loyal bureaucrats, protected by federal workers with billions of bullets at Homeland Security, Social Security and—you name it.

We are tracked, frisked and strip-searched at airports, chased, analyzed and data-gathered by this same bureaucracy and power establishment. Our currency is inflated, stripping our savings of their value. Want to know why? Just “google” the term, “U.S. racial wealth gap.” You will find dozens or hundreds of scholarly articles. You will conclude that inflation, deficit spending and economic destruction mainly attack those who have the wealth. Read who those people are, and who they are not. Then ask yourself: “Just exactly who is paying for all this?” “Is this ‘get-even’ time?”

“Payback?”

That’s what happens when you connect the dots. If you do, better if you just ignore it, open a good bottle of wine and have a nice weekend.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman BEVERLY HILLS JUST KEEPS GROWING When we moved into Beverly Hills 63-years ago, I was certain it had simply reached the limits of its growth. But, oh no! It continued and continues to enlarge within its original limits.

New buildings continue to spring up along the Wilshire corridor on the east and to the west–one more ambitious than the next.

Just now at the east and the west, very large structures are putting on their finishing touches with the expansion spilling north and south. One of the largest is at the corner of Wilshire and Spalding.

The expansion includes several major centers of their own specialties. For example: banking is well represented there, as are the medical profession, high fashion for madam and attention to monsieur, with major hotels of national repute and an inordinate number of restaurants and some retirement homes.

Its residential area boasts some of the most magnificent and costly mansion in the world and greenery lines its every residential area. Its five public educational institutions, including Beverly Hills High School are well housed, and staffed. We even have our very own oil well and rigging, It has never lost its tarnish, and, hopefully, never will!
