State Labels Beverly Hills High For ‘Program Improvement’ By Laura Coleman Next week, Beverly Hills High School parents and guardians will receive a letter from the Beverly Hills Unified School District letting parents know that the school is in Program Improvement. It is a wake-up call for everyone who leads the district. “We all have to stop pretending that we're a lighthouse district when the numbers and statistics don't show this,” Boardmember Lisa Korbatov said. “We have a lot of room for improvement.” It’s the first time BHUSD has been identified as a Program Improvement school since it began receiving Title 1 funds from the state in 2001. According to Superintendent Gary Woods, it doesn’t mean much beyond a bit of bad publicity and a letter that goes out

CHLA —In recognition of their compassion and dedicated support for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), Academy Award winning actress Natalie Portman, prominent philanthropists Sally and Bill Hurt, and global retailer Costco Wholesale were honored Saturday night with the “Courage to Care” award at the hospital’s signature biennial gala – “Noche de Niños.” More than 1,200 prominent philanthropists, local dignitaries and supporters joined them at The Events Deck at L.A. LIVE and helped raise more than $3.1 million in unrestricted funds which allow the hospital to fill its most critical needs, such as patient care, medical research and help families in need.

The Courier Endorses Elan Carr For Congress The Courier endorsed State Sen. Ted Lieu in the 17-candidate primary to fill Henry Waxman's 33rd Congressional seat. In recent in-depth interviews with both top candidates from the primary, we find ourselves now endorsing Beverly Hills resident Elan Carr for this critical seat. In the intervening months since the primary, Carr took the time to walk the high school campus alongside his BHHS alumna wife and educate himself on the facts of exactly what Metro is planning. "We need to protect our kids," he told us, emphasizing that his commitment to public safety is the most important issue to him. We also like Carr's stance on Israel and believe that his experience serving in the IDF, as did members of his family, in addition to his fluency in Arabic because of his Iraqi

heritage, give him unique qualities. The issues in the Middle East will not be gone before or after the election and while we are certain that Lieu would continue to ask the right questions and maintain his independence on difficult issues, as he has done in the past, we are particularly appreciative of Carr's recognition that the government is indeed dysfunctional. From Carr's commitment to strengthening literacy to his drive to rectify the onerous tax laws that have made it virtually untenable for major companies to base here (resulting in the exodus of hundreds of billions of dollars), The Courier believes that Carr will promote job growth and the economy, in addition to not letting the local transportation authority bully the town where he lives.

Part 8 in a series on Beverly Hills residents who have grown with the Centennial City. By Laura Coleman It was a different world when Rose Norton, 85, moved to South Rodeo Drive in 1956. The treelined, family-filled street, just a few steps away from Wilshire Boulevard, seemed like the perfect place to raise her young son, Philip. There wasn’t much commercial activity north of Wilshire and the location was convenient enough for her son to walk to Beverly Vista and later, Beverly Hills High School. The Nortons originally planned to purchase one of the new lots up in Trousdale, but a trip

to families letting them know there’s an alternative school to send their kids to that doesn’t have that designation. He noted that BHUSD is not alone in its new classification, which includes Manhattan Beach among the multitude of districts. However, Chief Academic Officer Jennifer Tedford said if the BHUSD fails to get back on track by next year, “that results in consequences.” Tedford said the reason BHUSD was now in Program Improvement is because the district essentially failed to pass a pop-quiz given by the government which chose the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to be the measure and opted to make schools accountable if 10th grade students did not achieve 100 proficiency on the test.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 23, 2014 TIME: 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280A Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, October 23, 2014, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider the following: Zone Text Amendment. A request for a Zone Text Amendment to Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to create a new entitlement called a Historic Incentive Permit that would create incentives for property owners to landmark historic buildings. The incentives relate to establishing provisions for modifying development standards for landmarked properties in order to accommodate new additions/development on a property while preserving historic buildings; Historic Incentive Permit. A request to allow a proposed new addition to the existing residence at 1000 North Crescent Drive to encroach into the required front setback. The request is for a two-story addition for a garage and security office, which will result in an approximately 10’ encroachment into the front setback. The request is being made pursuant to the proposed Zone Text Amendment described above, and would be contingent on the approval of the Zone Text Amendment by the City Council. Minor Accommodation. A request to allow the proposed addition to be aligned with the existing, nonconforming side setback for the residence. The request is being made pursuant to BHMC §103-2506, which allows for the issuance of a Minor Accommodation to extend legally nonconforming side yard setback; and

purpose of CAHSEE is to ensure that students who graduate from high school can demonstrate grade level competency in the state content standards for reading, writing, and mathematics. BHHS had a 79 percent of students achieve proficiency in Math and 78 percent achieve proficiency in English. “We really were encouraging our students to simply pass,” Tedford said. “Going forward, we now know the government will use those scores.” According to a Board presentation on Tuesday by BHHS Principal Carter Paysinger, last year, 65 percent of high school students achieved proficiency on Common Core English Language Arts assessments and 47.4 percent achieved proficiency in Common Core Mathematics assessments. Tedford she is still figuring out just what school the district will recommend to parents as the option to attend in lieu of BHHS - a designation that is mandated by the Federal Government. At Tuesday night’s Board of Education meeting, she said the alternative school was “some-

where” in Granada Hills, but subsequently informed The Courier that at the moment, it’s still an unknown. Last month, on Sept. 22, the district sent a letter to parents and guardians letting them know that although BHHS’s “graduation rate exceeds 96%...[and] is an excellent place for students to learn and grow...[the] school has been identified as a Year 1 Program Improvement school under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.” Woods said the district receives approximately $320,000 annually from the Federal Government related to being a Title 1 school. “We’re one of the highest performing high schools in the state,” he said. “Then we’re held to this standard.” Board VP Brian Goldberg said refusing to accept Title 1 Funds is not an adequate solution. “This is very distressing,” he said. BHHS Assistant Principal Kevin Brown said the high school administrative team is now working with staff and the district office to improve students’ CAHSEE proficiency rate.

Hawthorne School Celebrates 100 Years With Centennial Walk, Carnival With 700 Expected By Laura Coleman Hawthorne kicked off its Centennial celebration on Wednesday with a procession of more than 400 people who joined Hawthorne Principal Kathy Schaeffer and Mayor Lili Bosse at Beverly Gardens Park Lily Pond for a morning walk to school. “The spirit, passion and enthusiasm was so exciting as hundreds of kids, parents and pets cheered with community school spirit,” Bosse observed. “This is exactly why Beverly Hills is the greatest place to

live...We have heart.” Wednesday’s spirited sixblock walk to school was also a prelude to a very special event happening on Sunday – when from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the school will host its Centennial Spirit Day Carnival. Hawthorne PTA Co-president Tara Cucci estimated there would be at least 700 people in attendance for the fundraiser. “It's a big school-wide and community-wide showing of school spirit,” she said. The carnival will have an authentic stage coach, a pet-

ting zoo, giant slide, merry-goround, train, bumper cars and other traditional rides and games with prizes. And of course, lots of food to eat! At noon, a giant birthday cake will be served after the Hawhtorne choir leads a rendition of the traditional birthday song. All Hawthorne alumni in attendance will receive a special gift. The carnival will also include an alumni tent, which will feature a scrapbook and a memory book, in addition to old photos of Hawthorne that have been enlarged.

ICRW Report On Child Marriage Offers Strategies To Save Girls’ Futures By Laura Coleman Today, there are nearly 70 million child brides worldwide. Increasingly, the global community is banding together in an effort to save the health and future prospects of girls in the developing world who risk being forced into marriage. A recent report by the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), entitled “Solutions to End Child Marriage,” highlighted four human rightsbased education programs that are leading to the reduction of child marriage. For example, in Senegal, as a result of Tostan’s community empowerment program, several villages made

public declarations to end child marriage. Tostan’s Executive Director Molly Melching told The Courier that since the program in Senegal was evaluated in 2004, tens of thousands of new Tostan participants in eight African countries have learned about human rights and the harmful physical and mental health effects of child marriage on young girls. “They have then reached out to neighbors and relatives to encourage them to join a movement for better health and wellbeing in their communities by abandoning child marriage as well as female genital cutting

through numerous collective public declarations,” she said. By evaluating 23 programs with a child marriage component, the ICRW report identified five programmatic strategies to delay or prevent child marriage: 1) empower girls with information, skills and support networks; 2) provide economic support and incentives to girls and their families; 3) educate and rally parents and community members; 4) enhance girls’ access to a high-quality education; and 5) encourage supportive laws and policies.

By Victoria Talbot Bel-Air residents who are fed up with the lack of oversight and expansive overdevelopment in their delicate hillside ecosystem are forming a detailed database of construction projects, including monitoring permit activity by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) for hauling permits and a photographic record of development activities in the hillsides. This week’s photos include semi-dirt haul trucks, cement mixers and even a food truck – all for the development at 944 Airole Way. The project is an 85,154-square foot “single family” home. Hauling permits

are for 39,805 cubic yards of dirt. The Bel-Air Association blog reported that it had received a letter from the developer, Nile Niami, for 944 Airole Way development confirming that the “heavy haul export of dirt from the site was completed” on July 22. “I would like to advise you all that we have officially completed the heavy haul export of the 39,000 cubic yards of soil that was permitted under our grading permit and Haul Route,” the letter stated.

Southeast Beverly Hills Liaisons Discuss How To Grow Area By Victoria Talbot The Southeast Beverly Hills Liaison Committee had its quarterly meeting to discuss plans to stimulate the area. The meeting included Beverly Hills Mayor Lili Bosse, who grew up in the area, Councilman John Mirisch who lives in the area, City Staff, Community Development Director Susan Healy Keene, City Manager Jeff Kolin, Community Services Director Steve Zoet and Deputy City Manager David Lightner and task force residents. Discussion covered several key points about the southeast area of the City, including parking, street trees, La Cienega Park plans, holiday decorations, updates on proposed development and updates on Metro.

the list of issues, with residents hoping for more businesses that are neighborhood-friendly and business success dependent on readily available parking. Ken Pfalzgraf, Parks and Urban Forest manager, addressed the ficus trees lifting sidewalks in the area. The City, he said, is developing a plan that will be ready to go when the City green lights it. Soon, residents will select the trees from several appropriate and available options for the Street Tree Master Plan. Another public process will precede any plans for the La Cienega Park redevelopment. Zoet initially said that architects would present concepts to the public for discussion. “I thought the Roxbury (see ‘SOUTHEAST B.H.’ page 14)

Funeral Services For Beverly Hills’ Epitome Of Elegance, Aida Thibiant To Be Held Tuesday By Laura Coleman Aida Thibiant, who was known as the epitome of elegance and founder of Thibiant of Beverly Hills, has passed away. She was 86. Thibiant, who was among the pioneers of professional skin care, opened her Beverly Hills spa in 1972, which soon boasted an enviable roster of film industry glitterati. She was actively involved in Rotary and was known for her business acumen as well as her kindness and grace. “She was a remarkable member of the community and brought an unforgettable presence to our club,” said Adam

Heller, secretary of the Beverly Hills Rotary Club. Originally raised in France, Thibiant studied in Paris at several renowned schools en route to becoming an aesthetician. In 1970, she moved with her husband, Michael, and two sons to the U.S. Following the opening of her salon, she developed a line of skin and beauty products that to this day, continue to make women feel and look beautiful. “She was a legend in Beverly Hills,” said Valerie Joyce Foster. “She was the most generous lady… And truly a lady.” “Aida was a truly generous person to all and she was partic-

ularly generous to the Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women and Children, for which I am eternally grateful,” said Courier Publisher Marcia Hobbs. “She was an outstanding individual, extremely capable…very, very generous,” said Ken Norian. “She was truly one of the most elegant ladies of Beverly Hills and certainly someone who worked very hard at keeping the Beverly Hills image so special,” said Bruce Meyer. Services will be held tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. at Forest Lawn, 1712 South Glendale Ave., Glendale 91205.

By Victoria Talbot Friends of the Beverly Gardens Park (FOBGP) have been working hard once again to raise funds for the beleaguered Electric Fountain, which graces the western entrance to Beverly Hills on Wilshire Boulevard.

Services This Afternoon For Beverly Hills Stylist/Skincare Guru Dean Rhoades By John L. Seitz A celebration of a “life welllived” will take place today at 4 p.m. in the Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church for Dean Rhoades, 64, founder of the Dean Rhoades Salon in Beverly Hills and co-founder of DermaNew Skincare, who died here Sept. 6. Born in Indianapolis on July 17, 1950, Rhoades went to London at age 20, where he studied with Vidal Sassoon and became a world-class hair stylist. His local salon became known for excellence in hair and skincare, providing beauty solutions

to a celebrity clientele.He was one of the first to recognize the emerging role of salons as day spas and one who embraced natural-based products by joining forces with Aveda. It was at a beauty industry show when Rhoades met Amby Longhofer, his life and business partner. The couple created the first privately owned Aveda Lifestyle Store and Salon. Rhoades is survived by his wife Amby; sons, Dustin and Wyatt; sisters, Terri, Diana, Victoria, Dawn; brother, Kent; and grandchildren, Trey and Avery.

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills community enjoyed the third in a series of historical centennial films from Phil Savenick and the Beverly Hills Historical Society Monday night at Roxbury Park with the screening of Will Rogers: Look Back In Laughter. Ironically, the film’s stars included comedians Robin Williams and Harold Ramis; both of whom died within the past year. Savenick brought out-takes of Robin Williams as he worked out the six characters he played in the film. The film also featured Rodney Dangerfield, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase in a look back at the life of Beverly Hills first mayor, Will Rogers. The film’s director Malcolm Leo, producer Hildegarde Duane and writer Bennett Tramer, who won the Writers Guild of America award in

1988 for the film, were on hand to answer questions and discuss the making of the film. Rogers’ entertainment career spanned the silent film generation, graduated to radio and public speaking events and in print. He returned to the film world with talkies. At the apex of his career he was the highest paid and most popular entertainer in America, more popular than Douglas Fairbanks or Charlie Chaplin. Granddaughter Jennifer Rogers invited Beverly Hills to support Will Rogers Ranch Foundation at the Boots and Ball Gowns Will Rogers 135th Birthday Celebration November 8th. Potential sponsors can find more information by calling 866-988-9773, emailing jennifer@willrogersranchfoundation.org or visiting the website at www.willrogersranchfoundation.org

The evening, which benefited Children’s Institute, was sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue and included a fashion show from Donna Karan, as well as award presentations to Karan and Jessica Seinfeld. “PSLA is honoring two of the most inspirational organizations I know – Donna Karan for her tireless work with the Urban Zen Foundation and Baby Buggy with Jessica Seinfeld for their commitment to lifting children and families out of poverty through providing clothing, gear and services to those in need,” said PSLA founder Rochelle Gores Fredston. “In the mist of chaos, [Karan] saw beauty and the potential of something extraordinary,” Demi Moore said of the designer’s inspiration from her first trip to Haiti. Karan’s urban Zen Initiative works to provide for and empower children. “It’s not only dressing people, it’s addressing people,” Karan said. The sold-out evening included a special “strolling supper” prepared by Wolfgang Puck. Attendees also included Gwyneth Paltrow, Barbara Streisand, James Brolin, Chloë Grace Moretz, Kris Jenner, Kimberly and James Van Der Beek, Angela Lindvall and Amanda Crew, among others.

What You Should Know When Selling Your Home In Beverly Hills By Victoria Talbot Top Los Angeles realtor John Barrentine, co-founder and CEO of RED Real Estate Group at Keller Williams, sent us five recommendations for selling your home in Beverly Hills. We took his five recommendations to Charles Black at Beverly Hills most exclusive office of Hilton Hyland and asked him what he thought. Barrentine’s #1 recommendation is to find a good realtor. Black agrees. Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills and Bel Air comprise some of the most intricate markets in the country, and certainly, for the best results, Black at Hilton Hyland endorses selecting a knowledgeable and experienced realtor who knows this specific market. Barrentine says that “a seller must know their goals.” “A good realtor must have active listening skills,” said Black. Many clients are uncertain of their goals, he said. It is important for a realtor to listen carefully, both “to their expressed wish-

Barrentine says: “Know the condition of your property.” Black concurs. Sometimes, he says, the seller’s emotional attachment to a property clouds their perspective. He recommends listening carefully to your agent and acquaintances to glean a more objective view of your property. Finally, Barrentine says: “Presentation is everything.” “Your really have to think about the ultimate buyer,” says Black. Whom do you envision buying your property? Is it the newlywed couple who will entertain frequently or the more sedate older couple? “Understand your customer profile. Target your buyer. Stage the property to speak to that person.” And finally, Black adds this: “Always the first impression, the arrival experience and curb appeal are essential ingredients. The arrival process should be a dramatic ‘wow’ that targets your buyer.”

so big? When you approve a project like this, Saturdays need to be limited as to the scope of what can be done. Oh! I forgot! You don’t work on Saturdays… There’s nothing safe about this. I guess we are all waiting for a fatality. No more hauling routes should be approved until the existing truck traffic in the hills lessens.” The City of Los Angeles denies that any work is being done on Saturday, but Fifth District Councilmember Paul Koretz has responded. In recent weeks, Koretz has recognized the concerns of homeowners in Bel Air, providing valuable support at the City on some issues. “Our office is looking into the alleged violations, and is working closely with Building and Safety for the sake of protecting the safety and property of neighboring residents and others throughout the community.” Koretz has introduced an L.A. city council motion on cement mixers, “calling for the inclusion of such trucks into the haul route hearing process. This will provide council offices with an important mech-

anism to monitor and ensure safety.” Members of the BAHOA are actively monitoring development, particularly those structures over 20,000 square feet in size. They contend, says Rosen, that such structures should be treated as a commercial structure would be treated, including an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) because of the impact on the environment. The Alliance is watching a new proposed development at 11005 Bellagio Place. The existing single family home is to be replaced with a two-story home of 22,946 square feet with a garage for a total of 25,516 square feet. In an ad for the proposed spec development in CSQ Magazine, developer Jay Belson calls it, “The Bellagio Place Estate.” The 1.5acre property is poised on a sheer embankment and is priced, according to the advertisement, at $75 million. The developers invited the neighbors to a “Wrecking Ball Party.” The proposed hauling permit will be for 10,994 cubic yards of soil.

CHLA’s Noche De Niños Honors Natalie Portman, Sally & Bill Hurt In recognition of their compassion and dedication to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman, philanthropists Sally and Bill Hurt, and global retailer Costco Wholesale were honored Saturday night with the “Courage to Care” award at the hospital’s signature biennial gala: “Noche de Niños.” More than 1,200 prominent philanthropists, local dignitaries and supporters joined them at The Events Deck at L.A. LIVE and helped raise more than $3.1 million in unrestricted funds which allow the hospital to fill its most critical needs, such as patient care, medical research and help families in need. “What I quickly learned about the hospital was that it's the kind of place that’s easy to support, because they make it all about the kids,” said Portman, supporter and hospital volunteer.

“These kids go through more before they’re 18 than most of us will know in a lifetime. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to spend time with so many amazing kids over the years, and have been touched by their spirit and strength.” “There’s no better investment that human capital,” said Bill Hurt, who, along with his wife Sally, has invested in the Children's Hospital Institute for Medical Education to provide advanced education and training to Children’s Hospital and community clinicians, ensuring patients always benefit from the latest medical knowledge. “The people who should be honored tonight are not people like us, but the 600 doctors, the 1300 nurses and the 400 researchers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles who have devoted their lives and spend seven days a week, 365-days to care for and comfort and bring comfort to kids.”

UCLA Researchers Say Obesity Accelerates Aging Of The Liver Using a recently developed biomarker of aging known as an epigenetic clock, UCLA researchers working closely with a German team of investigators have found for the first time that obesity greatly accelerates aging of the liver. This finding could explain the early onset of many age-related diseases, including liver cancer, in obese subjects. Although it had long been suspected that obesity ages a person faster, it hadn’t been possible to prove the theory, said study first author Steve Horvath, a professor of human genetics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of biostatistics at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. Using the epigenetic clock Horvath developed last year, he and Jochen Hampe from the University Hospital Dresden showed that carrying excessive weight can negatively impact select human tissues. “This is the first study that evaluated the effect of body weight on the biological ages of a variety of human tissues,” Horvath said. “Given the obesity epidemic in the Western world, the results of this study are relevant for public health.” The findings appeared this

week in the early online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences. Horvath’s aging clock uses a previously unknown timekeeping mechanism in the body to accurately gauge the age of diverse human organs, tissues and cell types. He and his collaborators focused on a naturally occurring process called methylation, a chemical modification of the DNA molecule. Horvath used this epigenetic clock to measure the biological age of several tissues. The aging clock proved accurate in matching biological to chronological age in lean subjects. But liver tissues from obese subjects tended to have a higher biological age than expected. In this study, Horvath looked at almost 1,200 human tissue samples, including 140 liver samples, to study the relationship between epigenetic age acceleration and body weight. While obesity doesn’t affect the epigenetic age of fat, muscle or blood tissue, he and his collaborators found that, on average, the epigenetic age of the liver increased by 3.3 years for every 10 Body Mass Index (BMI) units.

Operation Children To Honor Antwone Fisher, Denise McCain-Tharnstrom Antwone Fisher will be presented the second Jane Russell Award from Operation Children at its fundraising gala and Casino Night,, Saturday, at the Bel-Air Country Club. Fisher, a film director, screenwriter, poet, professor, and best-selling author is the writer, co-producer and subject of the Fox Searchlight Pictures film, Antwone Fisher, based on his best-selling memoir. The organization will also honor Denise McCainTharnstrom, PhD, JD, MPP, a leader in the area of children’s policy and philanthropy. Actress Jane Russell founded the all-volunteer non-profit national organization Women’s Adoption International Fund (WAIF) in 1955. Members of that Los Angeles chapter founded Operation: Children in 1982.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Project Adopt – a program of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) Adoption Division and KIDSAVE’s Weekend Miracles Program. Project Adopt holds quarterly adoption festivals during the year, bringing hard-to-place children in need of a permanent home together with prescreened prospective parents in a relaxed setting. KIDSAVE partners with DCFS for the children ages 9 – 17, who are in need of adoption, mentoring, or simply an adult connection before aging out of the foster care system at age 18.

E L E C T R I C FOUNTAIN — Beverly Hills’ residents were out in force to support the restoration of the gorgeous electric fountain, a century old icon that has brought generations joy.

Park process was very divisive,” she said. “First, go to the community for their vision, before we go to the architect.” Bosse insisted that concept designs grow from the input of the community, on a grassroots level, rather than bringing a bureaucracy of architecture and design to the residents. Within the short time frame of the meeting it was clear that La Cienega Park has a different set of users than Roxbury Park, including active adults who are interested in adult recreation. “We have an intelligent and well-informed community. The residents know what their needs are. They should be first.” The La Cienega median is also at issue. An eyesore to the community, residents are anxious to see beautification. Plans are for gateway signage and the City is looking at ways to beautify. One of the most anticipated issues is parking, for which there seems to be no solution. The In Lieu Parking Study was completed in June, and first presented to the City Council at last week’s study session. However, the discussion was held over to the City Council Study Session on Oct. 21 for a hard break at 5:30. Southeast Beverly Hills lots are often too narrow to allow the required parking for the desired businesses. With that in mind the City is studying if the solution that worked so well in the Triangle could also begin to solve the problems in Southeast Beverly Hills. In the triangle, in-lieu parking advanced busi-

and ever-changing lights, the ancient electrical system is in bad need of a total renovation. Friends of Beverly Gardens Park founder Steve Gordon and Gaby Alexander are developing plans with the City of Beverly Hills and architect Mia Lehrer for the renovation. Donations can be sent to c/o Friends of Beverly Garden Park, 9990 S. Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90212; note “Beverly Gardens Park Electric Fountain” in the memo line. ness and customer access and spurned new development. In the southeast, there are not enough private parking spaces. Another idea being considered that will be presented at next week’s study session will be fully automated parking, with elevator lifts that remove vehicles from street level and deposit them in pods. More vehicles can be stored in a much smaller space because each floor is only the height of the vehicle and the pods are only the width of the vehicle. Residents expressed an eagerness to see mixed-use development that included affordable living and retail space as opposed to automobile dealerships and medical usage. The sentiment is that they would like to have something they can walk to for entertainment, shopping and dining. Current proposed development may include some of these buildings. Finally Lightner proposed that the task force begin to consider what the neighborhood would like to see following the La Cienega Metro Station. He encouraged task force members to consider the type of businesses they would like to see in a station. “We need to make plans so we can take advantage and control the outcome,” said Lightner. “The land proposed for the station is at the northeast corner of La Cienega and Wilshire.” However, Metro has no contract yet, he said, and although they have the preliminary permits from Beverly Hills, they have no start date. “How do you want this to look in eight years,” he asked.

Dan Zanes Brings Family Fun To The Wallis Sunday

Dan Zanes and Friends will bring their innovative, modern and multi-cultural music to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in two shows “for all ages,” at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 19. “I think of this as a family show,” says Zanes. “It’s important that it be a shared experience.” Zanes, who was a member of the hit 1980’s band Del Fuegos (Don’t Run Wild), became a proponent of family music and big in the “children’s music” world when he searched for and later created music he could listen to with his daughter. His 2006 album Catch That Train won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Album for Children. But his show is never pandering, since “I’m speaking to everyone,” Zanes says. “Our songs have to have emotional meaning for 3-year-olds and 40-year-olds.” He likes to mash genres and cultures; so the show will include “everything from originals to maybe a West Indian folksong and an English planting song we can make into something to dance to. I’m sure we’ll do a sea shanty or two and some Etta James in the midst of it all. We’ll start with our Tickling Song and go from there.” They’re all songs that are easy to sing along with since audience participation is a big part of the show. “That’s why kids are such an amazing audience,“ explains Zanes. “They’re uninhibited and sing along even if they don’t know the words.” While it’s primarily entertainment, there is an underlying message to the show, says Zanes. “It’s that making music is a joyous experience that’s available to everyone. I want people to leave the theater and decide to make their own music. The party doesn’t have to stop when Dan Zanes leaves town.” Zanes is thrilled to be part of the Wallis’ “Theater for Young Audiences,” program. “The more kids are exposed to art, the better off they are in every area of life. As a young person, seeing live musicians changed my life. It’s an honor to pass that on.” Tickets are available by visiting www.thewallis.org, in person at the box office at 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd, and by phone at 310746-4000.—Steve Simmons WORLD PREMIERE—This weekend is the last chance to see Affluence, Theatre 40’s latest production.

Hollywood Insiders ‘Dine & Dish’ for AIDS Assistance Program They know what tinseltown skeletons are hanging in which closets, and are prepared to tell (almost) all in exchange for an elegant evening featuring tantalizing hors d’oeuvres, premium spirits and a gourmet dinner in the luxurious confines of an exclusive Palm Springs estate. Sound interesting? It did to globally known celebrity pho-

ers in Hollywood … and also one of the brightest; and, cuddly Emmy-winning comedy writer Bruce Vilanch, who has singlehandily made tee-shirts the goto attire for any occasion. And, attempting to bring some order to the proceedings as the emcee: Emmy-winner Michael Corbett. The purpose of the evening is fun; but the mission of AIDS Assistance Program is deadly serious. Since its founding in spring 1991, the nearly allvolunteer, organization continues to provide meals to members of the community with low incomes living with HIV/AIDS. Their client base has grown from approximately 20 to 500 persons. A five-member volunteer board manages AIDS Assistance Program. Its primary purpose is to raise the funds to support the organization and its food voucher program, currently budgeted at $600,000, annually. Support for other operational expenses are generated through its private donor base. To purchase tickets for Dine & Dish II, call AIDS Assistance Program’s executive director Mark Anton at 760-325-8481.

him. “Everyday Howard Hughes would come down in his Chevrolet, never looking one way or the other,” she described. “I always thought that was a dilapidated car.” She married her first husband, Jerry Savenick, in 1952, using her Saks’ employee discount to amass an enviable trousseau. Savenick had just returned from World War II. Shortly after the birth of their son Philip, they separated, eventually divorcing in 1955. Norton then married Benjamin, with whom she was with for 56-years until his death. She recalled their first date: “We went to Santa Monica beach because we were both lovers of the ocean and when we got in the car, he discovered he had no gas and only 50 cents. So he bought gas and a popsicle, which we split.” After moving to Rodeo Drive, Norton began to get involved in charity work. For 28 years she volunteered with United Way and for 15 years she served on the Council for Jewish Women. She worked for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, eventually founding its Museum Service Council, which celebrates 50 years next year. She continues to work at the Council of Jewish Women’s El Nido Family Centers, which will soon celebrate its 90th anniver-

sary. In 1980, her husband was driven to get involved in City politics because of what he saw to be a troubling conflict of interest on the part of one member of the council. “Ben was not a joiner,” she said. “He never talked it over with me before filing the papers.” Norton said her time as the mayor’s wife, from 1983 to 1984 was particularly exciting. Among the bevy of highlights was the opportunity to meet with many foreign visitors, French, German, Italian, mostly. Under his watch, the $64 million civic center development for the library, police station and fire station was realized. She recalled her husband urging her to stay grounded in their newfound celebrity: “He said, ‘Rose, remember, they’re not inviting Rose Norton. They’re inviting the wife of the mayor. And once I’m not going to be mayor, they’re not going to know you from Adam. So don’t get a big head.’” At the time, mayoral installation ceremonies were still the financial responsibility of the elected officials, so the mayor had to foot the bill from food to stamps on invitations. In 1986, two years after her husband’s term had ended, Norton herself decided to run for City Council. She came in third, just behind Max Salter

BEVERLY HILLS and Robert Tanenbaum–a defeat she attributes to her sex. “I believe it was a woman’s issue,” she said. “My generation knew what it’s like to be a woman in man’s a world. People were very aware I was a woman. People said, ‘We would have voted for you, but we didn’t want two women.’” After the election, Salter initiated Norton’s appointment to the Planning Commission, which she served on for eight years. She remains particularly proud of being a part of the “blossoming” of shops on Rodeo Drive, the development of Barney’s, strengthening view preservation ordinances and initiating guest parking in the condominium projects. At times, the meetings would run until 2 a.m. These days, in addition to continuing her involvement in charity work and spending time with her son (local artist and the filmmaker of “Beverly Hills: 100 Years, 100 Stories”), Norton often reflects on the changes that have taken place, including the erosion of community and the pollution of our ocean and air. But forever in her memory, Beverly Hills will always be the most special place in the world. “It’s home and it’s a place, I really can say,” she said. “It’s given me a wonderful life. It’s just a very unique community."

FERRARI

FCA and chairman of Ferrari; Amedeo Felisa, CEO of Ferrari; and Piero Ferrari, vice chairman of Ferrari. Mayor Lili Bosse opened the evening of a lineup that included performances by Italian conductor Carlo Ponti Jr. leading the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra and renowned violinist Caroline Campbell. Meyer said the location for the celebration was a natural selection, given that California is Ferrari’s largest U.S. market. The celebration also included the first public unveiling of the limited-edition F60

America. In addition, the first of 499 examples of the newest 458 Speciale A was auctioned for $900,000 with proceeds benefitting "Daybreak," the American branch of the Italian charity whose mission is to find a cure for rare genetic diseases. On Sunday, a clicker recorded some 1,000 Ferraris that drove through the City for the historic event. In homage to the luxury racecar’s U.S. anniversary, 60 iconic Ferraris graced Rodeo Drive, including the cars of choice for Magnum P.I. and Steve McQueen.

play with, Groucho Marx? Or his maid?” she recalled. “When we moved into the [Rodeo Drive] neighborhood, the Chamber of Commerce baked muffins and came over to welcome us. We never locked the doors and knew everyone.” Her husband, former Mayor Benjamin Norton, paid $57,500 for their home, where she still lives today. At the time, it was listed at $65,000, but the man was a shrewd negotiator, she said. “It was a really nice, smalltown feeling,” she described. Nobody ever thought of checking the zoning to see what could be built and eventually the little shops were replaced with large buildings. The main shops were Haggarty’s, Saks, Estelle Allardale’s, Amelia Grey’s, and Harry Cooper’s. Her favorite restaurants included the Gingerbread Man, Hamburger Hamlet, The Saloon and Romanoff’s, where she saw future presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy, in addition to Eleanor Roosevelt which called, “probably the biggest thrill of my life.” Norton was born in Orlando, Florida in June 1929, just four months before the stock market crashed. Her parents soon divorced and together with her mother, she moved to

New York, where they lived with her two aunts in a duplex. “I always said I had three mothers,” Norton said. At 16, she moved out West, following the trail blazed by her mother’s eldest sister. At the time, UCLA charged $33 per semester for students who’d established residency for a year and so together with her mother, she moved to a house on Comstock. Although it was walking distance to BHHS, she went to University High School. She remembers being there at the time that the Japanese came out of internment camps. “They were very traumatized,” she said. When Norton graduated in 1946, the audience was speckled with MGM stars including Clark Gable. Shortly thereafter, while attending UCLA, where she went for two years, Norton started work at Saks. “It was the first time in my life that I really realized sexual harassment,” she recalled. The “dangerous territory,” she said, was a walk through the shoe department - a necessity for processing credit cards. “I tried to have people as much as possible use cash.” Frequently while awaiting the bus at Comstock and Wilshire, Howard Hughes would come drive past her in the mornings, appearing to never notice the world around

‘One Book, One City’ Finale Draws Big Crowd By Victoria Talbot The finale to the community book read, “One Book, One City”surprised organizers with at least 700 people at Sunday’s author reading and book signing for Daniel James Brown’s The Boys In The Boat, a story about the 1936 American rowing team at the Berlin Olympics. The book took four and a half years to write, said Brown, and three and a half of that was research. One of his primary sources was Peter Mallory, head coach of the Loyola Marymount University men’s rowing team. A scholar in his right, Mallory is the author of a comprehensive history of rowing and several other books as well. Nine men, merely boys

when they began, all of whom grew up in humble circumstances made all the more humble by the devastating economy of the Great Depression, found their “swing” together, making them one of the finest rowing teams in history. There, upon a stage graced with none other than Hitler himself and his entourage, this team of men rowed into history, beating the German team in an historic defeat which, said Brown, foretold the events that would come to pass. Men just like these would soon come, dressed in olive drab, crawling through Europe on droves, to take down Germany and the Third Reich. The book is a New York Times bestseller, and the City of

Beverly Hills embraced it. “I didn’t know anything about rowing when I started. It was the furthest thing from my mind,” said Brown, echoing the sentiments of the audience. “But this was a story about faith, about building trust. You became something larger than yourself. You had to have a big ego to be so audacious to go to the Olympics. But these men had to let go of them selves to become part of a larger thing.

El Segundo 50, Beverly Hills 0

Normans Unable To Stop High-Powered El Segundo Offense In League Opener By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills High’s defense had no answer for one of the top offenses in the area last Friday in a 50-0 Ocean League loss to host El Segundo. El Segundo was powered by quarterback Lars Nootbaar, who was nearly perfect finishing 13-for-15 passing with 252 yards and five touchdown passes. Beverly Hills’ (1-5, 0-1) defense, playing without one of its top defenders in defensive back P.J. Goolsby, trailed 43-0 at halftime. The Normans are far from the only defense that has been unable to stop El Segundo thus far. The Eagles have scored 50 points twice, and also scored 49 points once, and have not scored less than 37 in any of their six games this season.

Offensively, BHHS didn’t have much success, even with its usually stout running game. Rashad Ysaquirre led the way with 12 carries for 41 yards. In the passing game, Jake Wolken was only able to muster 52 yards on 2of-9 passing. The Normans’ defense was able to force a fumble on El Segundo’s offense. Tonight, BHHS hosts Hawthorne in its homecoming game. The Cougars are coached by former BHHS coach Donald Paysinger, who is in his second year at Hawthorne. Paysinger currently has Hawthorne at 2-4, 0-1 in league. Last year, taking over a team that had finished 1-9 the season before, Paysinger led Hawthorne to a 3-9 finish. VOLLEYBALL — The Beverly Hills High girls varsity volleyball team dominated Lawndale on Oct. 9 at the Swim Gym, beating the Cardinals 254, 25-14, 25-11 behind the play of players like junior middle blocker Rachel Monsaebian (pictured left leaping for the ball). The win came on the heels of a backand-forth 3-2 loss to El Segundo on Oct. 2. On Wednesday, Oct. 15, BHHS lost to Santa Monica 25-20, 25-12, 2515 in an Ocean League match at Santa Monica. The BHHS girls currently sit at 4-6 overall and 1-2 in Ocean League play and host Culver City today at 1:30 p.m. in the Swim Gym.

Beverly Hills High Tennis Team Tops Santa Monica, Stays Undefeated In Ocean League By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills High’s girls varsity tennis team, the defending Ocean League champions, proved this week they won’t be relinquishing their crown without a fight. Thanks to clutch singles performances late, BHHS topped Ocean League rival Santa Monica, 10-8, on Tuesday. Martina Bocchi led the Normans (5-2, 2-0) with a sweep in singles, but it was the late play of sophomore Lola Gorbacheva that lifted BHHS to victory. After Bocci broke an 8-8 tie to make it 9-8, Gorbacheva beat Santa Monica’s No. 1 singles player to secure the 10-8 victory.

“After the match I just shook my head and said ‘you girls are killing me,” BHHS coach Mike Margolin joked about the narrow victory. “But it was a great win, so far this season, when the dust settles they find a way to get it done. That is sort of the sign of a pretty good team.” On Oct. 9, BHHS hosted El Segundo in its Ocean League opener and won 15-3 led by Jackie Hauser and Sabrina Saitta sweeping in doubles at 62, 6-2, 6-0. On Oct. 6, BHHS hosted Palisades in a nonleague match and pulled out a close victory in a 9-9 tie that BHHS won 64-59 on points. Bocchi swept in singles against Palisades.

Choice Group Inc. Hosts 3rd Annual Art For Life Gala With Featured Multiple Award-Winning Artists on-profit Choice Group Inc. (CGI), will host its third annual gala with an evening of celebrations, exhibitions and performances at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 23 at the Annenberg Community Beach House, 415 Pacific Coast Highway, Santa Monica. This year’s gala will highlight the importance of innovative STEM education through the showcase of CGI’s 3D Game Design Programs and will feature appearances by award-winning recording duo and CGI Board Members, Erica and Tina Campbell of Mary Mary. CGI, dedicated to providing quality new media arts after-school programs for inner-city and foster youth, will honor 2X WNBA Champion Lisa Leslie and Council President Herb J. Wesson Jr., who will receive the 2014 Choice Group Impact Award for their dedication to supporting and promoting economic, educational, and social opportunities for the under-served. “I believe the journey of life consists of a series of choices and was inspired by the name of the organization, Choice Group Inc. However, I was moved deeply by Choice Group’s effort to help youth from my hometown make better life choices, a true definition of empowerment,” said Leslie. “This year’s theme for the gala is 3D Art for Life,” said CGI Founder Dana Hammond, “Our youth have created some amazing work that we can’t wait

to share with everyone.” “Dana has taken a vision and turned it into a reality for at-risk youth and as a result, he’s making a difference in our community,” said Erica Campbell. “With more and more schools removing their music programs Choice Group is an outlet for kids to have something meaningful and life-enhancing after school. “Dana is a hero in our community. We have watched him take children whose families are facing economic challenges and have little to no knowledge of 3D game design and in just 32 weeks they have created 3D games, like professionals,” said Tina Campbell. “We encourage others to get involved because Dana and his team have made and are really continuing to make a difference.” In an effort to gather support for its mission from community leaders and the entertainment industry, CGI’s gala not only aims to raise funds, but also brings attention to the impact CGI programs have made on the South Los Angeles community for the past seven years. Choice Group participants will showcase their 3D games created during the 16-week program. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. For tickets, visit http://bit.ly/1lUO1v0.

Astrology by Holiday Mathis

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 17). Your goal this year is never-ending education. When not learning, you’re not happy. You’ll bring excellence to maturity in November. There’s a special place in your heart for animals, and this love will open doors for you in January. February brings back your childlike excitement. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Before you go to battle, exhaust every other choice you have in the matter. Of all signs, you realize most that wars do not bring peace to the land; they only bring vendettas. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s common to be afraid of the dark and even more common to be afraid of the light. That truth-talker you know will tell it as he or she sees it, however inappropriate the statement may be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If something is knowable, it might require trust, not faith. Focus on the unknowable and note your feelings and thoughts. What would you guess about or bet on? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are those who do exactly what you forbid them to do. If you don’t want to do it and don’t want to hire anyone to do it, forbid a rebel to do it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you think of goodness and integrity, think of someone in the elder generations of your family. Of course, the same strains run through you, and you feel it’s your job to uphold the high standard. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Your movement expresses your inner spirit. That’s why people seem to know things about you you haven’t told them. They aren’t mind readers; they are body readers. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Just because you ignore the facts doesn't mean they cease to be. Or does it? You could argue it either way today, given that much of what you ignore drifts out like so much flotsam and jetsam, never to return. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You have a desire to go somewhere and dig for buried treasure, so to speak. And you will indeed find it, just not in the first, second or third place that you dig. Be persistent. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Kindle a light in the darkness of a bleak situation–that makes you feel useful, effective and needed. The best part: You’ll do so more than once over the course of this day. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Aim high with your goals today. If you shoot for the sun and miss, you’ll still be better off than the ones who shot for a bird on the electrical wire above the house. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you lose your way, it makes no sense to run faster. Stop and consider the path, look for signs, study the position of the sun. Of course, today this is about your emotional (not your physical) landscape. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What gives you answers is useless. The interesting thing is the question. What or whom makes you ask questions? Pursue that instead, and you’ll quite enjoy the day.

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 FOR SALE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)986-9342, or visit this Internet Web site H Y P E R L I N K "http://www.superiordefault.com" www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2014-1749 . 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. THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD SUBJECT TO THE NINETY DAY RIGHT OF REDEMPTION CONTAINED IN CIVIL CODE SECTION 1367.4(c)(4). PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. Date: 10/7/2014.

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.

From The Publisher

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS Last Friday at 12:50 p.m., I was the second car stopped at the light at the intersection of Glendon and Wilshire. On the radio was the report of President Obama’s helicopter leaving Century City; and simultaneously in my ears were the sounds of approaching sirens. I calmly watched four black Escalades escorted by the California Highway Patrol turn onto Lindbrook from Wilshire—presumably carrying either staff or ???? back to the W Hotel. So now I have seen the arrogance of an Obama fundraising trip—i.e. the staff receiving presidential treatment to pick up their luggage!! We had been gridlocked for awhile, and as it untangled, I watched a Caltrans hauling truck clip a car in the intersection after the final motorcycle had passed and our light turned green. Sorry President Obama, they missed me.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman A WILD AND WOOLY WINTER The United States has experienced what I chose to call a wild and wooly winter. Here in Southern California, it is hard to realize how bad weather has raged across our Midwest. And at this writing, they’re still serving up lots of bad weather. National Climatic Data showed that last winter was the 34th coldest for the contiguous 48 states as a whole since modern records began in 1895. Our local weather has unceasingly been 80 degrees or more. The other day, we were treated to a few sprinkles of rain, which turned quickly to steamy streets. And worse days are certainly coming: Los Angeles’ climate is changing. According to UCLA scientists, by 2050 the L.A. Basin will see 2 to 3 times the number of extremely hot days. The good news regarding this terrible picture of our future is that we can do something to reverse it. There are many ways to fight climate change. The best one is to move to a better climate. For example, did you know that you could retrofit your house with a cooler roof, which uses materials that naturally reflect sunlight. They mean cooler buildings by several degrees Fahrenheit, and less air-conditioning demand. Another way to create a cooler city to dwell in is by planting more trees. One healthy tree cools the city as much as 10 room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day! If you want to know more about how to take action, the website CCHANGE.LA provides great resources.

...And now a Guest Editorial from Attorney Alison Petrocelli

UNINVITED GUESTS—PRESIDENT OBAMA AND GWYNETH PALTROW It should have been a typical jam-packed Thursday afternoon filled with school and bus pickups, drop-offs to sports practices and matches, and an early dinner at home before homework and a reasonable bedtime. Instead, on Thursday, Oct. 9, Gwyneth Paltrow decided to have a party for President Obama and shut my neighborhood down. Not that she told any of her neighbors about this $1,000 to $32,000 fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee. We learned about it the hard way. After hearing bits and pieces from my children’s schools, friends, and the news, I became concerned that morning about getting my children home (I live less than a mile away from Paltrow’s estate). I asked the police and Secret Service already on my street what I needed to do. I was informed that nothing would hamper my transportation before 3:30 p.m. and that I would be fine until 6 p.m. as long as I had my proper photo identification with my home address. I then received emails that my daughter’s tennis match and my son’s soccer practice would be canceled due to Obama’s visit. Accordingly, I picked my son up early from his Santa Monica school to get him home in time to pick up my daughter from her school in Hancock Park (a 45-minute drive in normal circumstances but she usually takes the school bus). I arrived a block or so from my street on a congested Sunset Boulevard with my 12-year-old daughter at 5:15 pm. I phoned my sitter to let her and my 9-year-old son know that I was almost home and that she would be able to leave well before 6 p.m. to get to her next job. Suddenly, traffic stopped in both directions and we were trapped with no information. The only person outside of a car we saw for the next 3-hours was a man dressed in a scary Obama Halloween mask with a large burlap sack with a money sign on it. He terrified my daughter as he kept approaching the cars (there were no sidewalks) so we kept the doors locked. We were desperate to get home for dinner, to use the restroom, and most important, to be home with my son. My babysitter tried to ask what was going on from my house but could garner no information. The police said that Obama kept changing his schedule. Finally, at 8:15 p.m. the cars started to move. When I arrived to turn up my street the police told me I had to leave the area even though I was a proven resident. I responded in tears that I had to get home to my son and we had been in the car for 3-hours only to be told that this was all the Secret Service’s doing. My daughter and I then drove another 1/2 mile or so away and parked illegally on a residential street. We loaded up her schoolbooks and walked towards our home (more than a mile away). Many people were not permitted to walk home but we were—I believe—due to my desperate pleas and the frustration of the police to be without any information. I spoke to a Secret Service agent about half way home near Paltrow’s house. He acknowledged that what I was told in the morning was no longer true, helplessly smiled and shrugged like they never get it right. I walked away per my daughter’s advice. We then encountered a “fan” watching the celebrities go in and out of the party. She interrupted my conversation with my daughter to say I should feel privileged to have President Obama in our neighborhood and should spend time in Washington D.C. to learn how our government works. That was when I admit I totally lost it. I am a proud graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Washington D.C., an attorney and children’s rights advocate. I am clear on how lucky I am to be an American citizen and how our government is supposed to work. Gwyneth Paltrow’s fundraiser was simply yet another example of the ugly side of American politics where rich people pay to have photo opportunities with the president and uninformed celebrities suddenly have a voice to make idiotic remarks like: “You’re so handsome I can’t speak properly.” I also know that this fundraiser, particularly due to all the local law enforcement required to be in attendance, wasted far more money than it raised, inflicted misery on a large number of neighborhood and local families, and made our President Obama, the self-purported champion of the middle class, look like a fool. This is nothing new for notoriously pedicured, foot-in-mouth, Gwyneth Paltrow; but we should all expect more from our president.

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I am writing on behalf of the many parishioners of All Saints’ Church who were enormously inconvenienced last Sunday, October 12, 2014 by the fact that all of the upper garages between Santa Monica Boulevard and Little Santa Monica were closed because of the Ferrari event on Rodeo. None of the three churches whose parishioners regularly use those lots for parking when attending services were notified of the closure. They were only notified that Rodeo would be closed. Personally, I always use the upper lot between Camden and Rodeo as I park in the handicapped space at the far east of the lot and not only was I unable to park there, when I drove around intending to drive up Camden from Wilshire in order to park in the City lot across from the Wells Fargo Bank, Camden was also closed. Many people were late arriving at church or turned around and did not attend at all. Musicians for the All Saints’ 11:30 service arrived 20 minutes late. The three churches are an integral part of the fabric of Beverly Hills and have been in their current locations since the early days of Beverly Hills. Consideration of them and notification to them of pending City events is absolutely imperative of good City government. I believe that the Ferrari visitors could have been instructed to park in other City lots under the Library and the Annenberg Theater. Please think about the Churches and the impact that City events have on them. Sincerely,. Bonnie McClure ****** The report on installation of new red light cameras raises several questions: If the City only gets $100 of each $500 ticket, where does the rest of the fine go? Is this the best deal the City could get? What per cent of the fines is actually collected? What happens to the other tickets? And finally, will the Beverly Hills Police Department begin enforcing the provisions of the California Motor Vehicle Code requiring front and rear license plates on cars, including sporty ones with pointed front ends,e.g., Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, Teslas, et al., so that their drivers can be ticketed too? Inquiring minds want to know. Daniel Fink
