Beverly Hills Voters Fail To Pass Measure HH

WILL ROGERS AWARDS — Beverly Hills celebrated the achievements of realtors, restaurateurs, retailers and architects Wednesday with a gala celebration for the Will Rogers Awards at the Montage Hotel, with the Real Estate Lifetime Achievement Award going to Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland (pictured above, right).

combined the two to make one 26-story building. That new project would have created no additional impacts, according to an independent City report, so the Hilton took the matter to the voters. Measure HH was defeated by approximately 1,100 votes, with the ‘no’ side garnering 55.75 percent of the vote. Mail-in and provisional (see ‘MEASURE HH’ page 8)

City Council Inches Closer To Approval Of Wanda Project By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills City Council voted to approve the preparation of a resolution and an ordinance to approve the 9900 Wilshire Boulevard project, also known as One Beverly Hills, in a 4-1 vote with Vice Mayor Nancy Krasne dissenting. One Beverly Hills' Specific Plan Amendment, Development Agreement and Final Supplemental EIR will be on the City Council agenda on Nov. 15. No specific modifications were made to the plan, reflecting the Council’s approval of the loading dock and the three left turns/entrances on Santa Monica Boulevard. The Development Agreement includes $820 million going to the City over the next 30 years, including $60 million up front. The council also considered providing more funds from the agreement for the Beverly Hills Unified School District and agreed to work that into the Joint Powers

Agreement, which is currently being negotiated. "Our entire team is proud that the Beverly Hills City Council agreed to move forward with the One Beverly Hills project today. We believe that following the City's process, including a Supplemental EIR, Public Comment, Planning Commission approval, a revised Development Agreement and now City Council review has resulted in a better project for us and for the City. We look forward to final approval and starting construction on One Beverly Hills at the City's western gateway." said Wanda Beverly Hills’ Rohan à Beckett. Beverly Hilton spokesperson Marie Garvey said the Hilton continues “to have serious concerns about the severely flawed and dangerous access plan on Santa Monica Boulevard and the project's loading dock across from the guest entrance to the Beverly Hilton. We will weigh all our options."

Measure Y Narrowly Defeated, Provisional Ballots May Offer Silver Lining By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills’ Measure Y narrowly missed the two-thirds vote needed to pass in Tuesday’s election with 63.85 percent of the 9,140 votes cast in support the school-building bond. Said Board of Education President Howard Goldstein: “We are grateful to the community for recognizing the need to repair and renovate our school facilities.

THIS ISSUE

By Victoria Talbot The Hilton Initiative, Measure HH, was not passed by voters at the polls on Tuesday. Measure HH represented the Beverly Hilton’s desire to build a 26-story condominium with a 1.7 acre publicly-available garden. Measure HH would have taken Measure H – which was approved in 2008 for two buildings, one 18 stories and another eight stories – and

number should be north of 65 percent - how far north is the question to be answered in the next few weeks.” Counting votes does not end on Election Night.

Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS §5-2-106, §5-2-107, §10-3-1604, §10-3-100, §103-2003 AND ADDING BHMC §10-3-1620.3 TO CONDITIONALLY ALLOW ANCILLARY PET BOARDING FACILITIES WITHIN RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS IN COMMERCIAL ZONES SUBJECT TO A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Adoption of the Ordinance would amend portions of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) to allow ancillary pet boarding facilities that provide day and/or night pet boarding in retail establishments located in certain commercial zones through a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed Zone Text Amendment would amend BHMC §5-2-106, §5-2-107, §10-3-100, §10-3-1604, and §10-32003, and add BHMC §10-3-1620.3.

The City previously issued a public notice regarding the Planning Commission’s consideration of the Zone Text Amendment and the proposed pet boarding facility located at 9388 South Santa Monica Boulevard. At its October 13, 2016 meeting, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the requested Zone Text Amendment, and adopted a resolution approving the requested Conditional Use Permit.

Political Season Heats Up: 2017 Beverly Hills City Council Candidates To Begin Pulling Papers Monday

GIVING BACK — Last week, Beverly Vista's fourth grade classes collected 3,500 books for Barrett Elementary School in Los Angeles. Pictured are the students from the classes of BV teachers Ms. Kwon, Mrs. Subin and Ms. Theo. The students had a tour of the school, donated books and read with the students.

Voters Sign Off On Metro’s ‘Blank Check’, Pass Measure M By Matt Lopez Voters in Los Angeles County gave a green light to another half-cent sales tax increase to fund the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s transit projects. Dubbed the “Forever Tax,” Measure M adds a half-cent sales tax on top of another previously-approved half-cent transportation sales tax increase, which will remain in place indefinitely. Measure M, which needed twothirds of the vote, passed with about 70 percent of the vote.

Several leaders from various cities banded together, including Beverly Hills Mayor John Mirisch with mayors from cities like Norwalk and El Segundo, to oppose what they called a “blank check” for Metro with no accountability. Mirisch, in particular, campaigned heavily against the measure, writing blogs about it online. In Beverly Hills, it passed by a little more than 3,000 votes. “Measure M postpones

By Victoria Talbot Hopefuls in the March 2017 City Council election are lining up to pull papers at City Hall, arranging appointments with Beverly Hills City Clerk Byron Pope beginning Monday at 7:30 a.m. For those who thought the political season was over, the council race, with three seats up for grabs, will likely prove even more contentious. The November election brought bitter battles, pitting residents against one another, with Mayor John Mirisch attacking individuals personally in the Huffington Post and making speeches against the Hilton Initiative in appearances throughout the City. The three seats up for grabs in March include Kathy Reims, whose

temporary appointment was to fill the vacancy left with the departure of Willie Brien; Mayor John Mirisch and Vice Mayor Nancy Krasne. Reims signed a document that she would not run for City Council. That leaves the two incumbents, Mirisch and Krasne. Candidates have from Monday, Nov. 14 to Dec. 9 to pull their papers and return their filings. However, if at least one of the incumbents has not filed for reelection, the deadline is extended to Dec. 14 to file. To qualify, a candidate must be 18 years or older, a citizen of the United States and a resident who is a registered voter in Beverly Hills.

Swatting Incident Causes El Rodeo School To Go On Lockdown By Laura Coleman El Rodeo School went on lockdown for approximately 30 minutes on Tuesday after the school received a phone call alleging that a man with a gun was on the campus at approximately 2:18 p.m. Following an extensive search by the Beverly Hills Police Department, officers gave the “all clear” at 2:50 p.m. BHPD Sgt. Max Subin confirmed that police found nothing following an exhaustive search of the campus. El Rodeo Principal Kevin Allen said police arrived within minutes after receiving the call. “As far as my staff was concerned, they did a beautiful job, they went right into protocol,” he described. “Our first priority was making sure that everyone was safe.” BHPD Lt. Mark Miner told the Courier that police immediately suspected that it was a swatting call once officers arrived on the scene and began to investigate. “No one [had] actually seen anyone with a gun,” he said. In addition to no witness reports

corroborating the threat, aspects of the phone call, such as the caller not identifying himself and calling from a blocked number, made it seem like a swatting call. However, for the crowd of parents waiting outside the locked gates while BHPD searched the school, the moments of uncertainty were painful. “I was very panicked,” recounted El Rodeo mother Jen Fentin, who arrived at the school during pick-up time. “There was a pack of moms hanging outside the school and a lot of cop cars; some of the women were crying.” Once safely reunited with her two children enrolled at El Rodeo, Fentin said she began to think of just how important it was to fully renovate the schools and enhance security. “It was just another thing that made me realize the campuses themselves need to be upgraded in every way,” she said. The last time the Beverly Hills Unified School District received a swatting call was on Jan. 21, 2015 at the high school.

Recreational Marijuana Use Is Now Legal – What It Means In Beverly Hills By Matt Lopez Voters in California Tuesday night – along with Nevada and Massachusetts – took to the ballots to pass Prop 64 and make the recreational use of marijuana legal. Those three states join Washington, Colorado, Oregon and Alaska in legalizing recreational use. Here’s what legalization in California means. You can: • Legally use marijuana at home, provided you’re an adult at least 21-years-old. Up to an ounce of marijuana buds or eight grams of cannabis concentrates can be possessed at any given time. • Most Californians can

now grow up to six plants per home for personal use, as long as they keep the plants for themselves. Beverly Hills residents can cultivate up to six plants indoors, but the City has regulations prohibiting the cultivation of marijuana outdoors anywhere in the City. • Petition to have criminal records or jail time reversed for those convicted of a crime for marijuana usage. • Carry, give away or accept up to eight grams of cannabis. You cannot: • In Beverly Hills, all the same prohibitions that apply to smoking cigarettes and electronic cigarettes in public places apply also to marijuana

consumption. That includes prohibitions against smoking in outdoor dining areas, day care facilities, enclosed places of employment or around public buildings. • Sell recreational marijuana, or buy it without a doctor’s recommendation. Licensed marijuana shops won’t be open for another year and won’t be in Beverly Hills, which has a Municipal Code regulation against operating a commercial marijuana dispensary in City limits. • No differently than with alcohol, marijuana cannot be used in a vehicle, or before driving a vehicle. It’s illegal to have an open pot container in a car.

Associates for Breast and Prostate Cancer Studies (ABCs) is hosting its annual, star-studded Talk of the Town black-tie gala at The Beverly Hilton next Saturday, Nov. 19. The gala benefits breast and prostate cancer research at the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center. This year’s honorees include Dame Joan Collins, Anjelica Huston and Marcel Loh. “Each of our honorees have been significantly affected by cancer and are extraordinary role models and dedicated supporters of cancer research,” said ABCs president, Gloria Gebbia. “Each of us is a part of this great community that unites in a common goal to improve the lives of people with cancer and to find a cure. Together we will make a difference.” Award-winning actress, author, producer and entrepreneur Dame Joan Collins will receive the “Spirit of Entertainment Award”; Oscarwinning actress, director and

author Anjelica Huston will be honored with “The Spirit of Hollywood Award” and Marcel Loh, CEO of Providence Saint John’s Health Center and the John Wayne Cancer Institute, will be presented the “Spirit of Hope Award.” The Bangles will perform. Sheri Rosenblum is gala chair and Beverly Cohen is décor chair. The gala includes a luxury boutique and silent and live auctions. “The generous, on-going support provided by the ABCs has been instrumental in advancing the Institute’s breast and prostate research,” said Patrick Wayne, chairman of the board of the John Wayne Cancer Institute. “Our physicians and scientists are at the forefront of groundbreaking cancer research, which would not be possible without the ongoing philanthropic efforts of Gloria Gebbia and the ABCs.” Since 1990, the ABCs has raised more than $14 million.

2700 COLORADO – Larry Ellison’s Oracle is in talks to purchase 2700 Colorado, a 316,000 square foot office building that is also occupied by Lions Gate Entertainment. Photo via www.2700colorado.com

Larry Ellison’s Oracle Plots Santa Monica Move With Purchase Of 2700 Colorado Larry Ellison’s software firm Oracle is in talks to buy office building 2700 Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, The Real Deal reported Thursday. In what The Real Deal called “the priciest per-square-foot deal in Santa Monica’s booming office market”, the purchase is rumored to be at $1,165 per square foot. Oracle will move into the building, taking north of about 100,000 square feet, according to The Real Deal’s sources. The 316,000-square foot, fivestory building also includes Lions Gate Entertainment, which takes up around 159,000 square feet. JHLL’s Carl Muhlstein and Hayley Blockley marketed 2700 Colorado on

behalf of Invesco. C r e s a ’s Matthew Miller represented Oracle. T h e Real Deal reported that asking rates in S a n t a Larry Ellison Monica average at around $5.50 a square foot per month and Oracle’s purchase was the priciest ever in Santa Monica.

ballots, and damaged ballots. According to election observers in Beverly Hills, in excess of 20 percent of the votes were provisional ballots still to be counted. One thing is clear–the majority of Beverly Hills residents supported the much-needed $260 million schoolbuilding bond to allow the school district to fully modernize all five public schools. However, because only three of the five board members voted to put the bond on the ballot (Board VP Mel Spitz and Boardmember Isabel Hacker voted against), 66.7 percent of voters had to approve Measure Y in order for it to pass.

MEASURE HH

(continued from page 1)

ballots have not yet been counted as of press time. The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder has 30 days to announce the return, but it is unlikely there would be any changes to the outcome. The Courier received several accounts from residents who said they did not receive their-vote by-mail ballots. Those voters had to go to the polls to vote provisionally. “We want to thank every one of the thousands of residents who worked tirelessly in support of our efforts. We presented the voters with what we thought was a better plan for the Beverly Hilton site and always said that we would let them decide what would be built in the future,” said Beverly Hilton owner Beny Alagem. “We respect their decision and will move forward with the original plan. We look forward to continuing to be a part of this community and are excited to open the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills in May 2017.” The plan was strongly opposed by Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin’s United States-based Wanda Properties, developer of One Beverly Hills (9900 Wilshire Blvd.) next door to the Hilton. Wanda Beverly Hills Properties, LLC and Athens BH Development LLC sponsored the campaign to defeat HH with major financing from Lakeshore East Parcel P, LLC, a Wanda development in Chicago. Wanda funneled at least $1.2 million into the ‘No on HH’ campaign to defeat the project with more campaign finance reporting still to come. Mayor John Mirisch and Planning

Because bond measures can only be put on the ballot in even-number years, the earliest a new school-building bond could return to the electorate would be June 2018. “When you have a 65 percent of the electorate saying yes to this, that’s a mandate,” Goldstein said. “If you’re a board member [who voted against the bond], to me you cost this district up to $40 million.” Goldstein highlighted the $20 million in matching State Seismic Mitigation Program (SSMP) funds the district will forfeit for not moving forward with renovating Hawthorne School and the Konheim building in the next two years in addition to cost escalations. “It’s really unfortunate,” he said.

Commission Chair Joe Shooshani were also staunch opponents of the project. A police complaint was filed against Shooshani that alleged voter intimidation in a voicemail he left for a Beverly Hills man, warning him not to vote because he could be thrown in jail. Shooshani has also told Farsispeaking audiences on television and radio that their water bills would go up, they would be sent to jail and that access to the Wilshire corridor in Westwood would be cut off if the project succeeded in being built. Mirisch was elected to City Council following his 2008 campaign against the Hilton plan to build the two residential buildings of eight and 18 stories. During this year’s campaign, Mirisch railed against the initiative at gatherings throughout the City. He also wrote long invectives in the Huffington Post aimed at individuals he felt supported the initiative, all of them women. Mirisch continued his diatribes against the initiative in social media, arguing with supporters, including a 20-year old woman in a conversation that he kept up for three days. "I'm proud of our City; our residents made the right choice for Beverly Hills and did not succumb to the over $7 million the Hilton spent on its misleading and self-serving campaign. The residents clearly understand that process does matter and that a 375foot skyscraper is not appropriate for our City. The defeat of the Hilton Condominium Tower Initiative is a big win for Beverly Hills," said Mirisch.

Organizing and speaking at the event were (from left): Bonnie McClure, (chair of the CHLA’s Associates and Affiliates), Lee Anne Sanderson (luncheon co-chair), Andrea Bostick (Guild president), speaker Noah Akaka, speaker Dr. Leo Mascarenhas, Heather Jones (luncheon co-chair) and Suzanne Lapis, (director to the Associates and Affiliates). This year, luncheon proceeds will support Mascarenhas, CHLA Associates Sarcoma Program Chair. The program will provide the critical foundation for true innovation in sarcoma research. Mascarenhas, deputy director of CHLA’s Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, and director, CHLA’s clinical trials program, discussed the program’s importance. He also told the crowd about and introduced his patient Noah Akaka, 19, who has Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA), a disorder where the bone marrow does not produce enough red blood cells. At 16, after a procedure to correct knock knees, CHLA doctors noticed an abnormality on an X-ray. Akaka had developed osteosarcoma, a cancer of the bone in his left femur. DBA patients have an increased risk for the cancer, said Mascarenhas. “As a general rule, when two rare diseases happen together, this gives us clues as to why; and why they occur in the first place so we might understand why people who don’t have DBA get osteosarcoma,” he said. Akaka—who told a charmed audience he terms himself “rare among my own,” and was one of 250 kids in North America with DBA when he was diagnosed—also praised his CHLA team. Photo by Anne Cronin

CROSSING THE FINISH LINE—The Hirshberg Foundation’s founder Agi Hirshberg helps a young runner victoriously cross the finish line at the recent 19th annual L.A. Cancer Challenge (LACC) 5K/10K Walk/Run. More than 3,000 runners and walkers hit the pavement to stomp out cancer at the event, held on the UCLA campus for the first time since 2003. The charity fundraiser—sponsored and produced by the foundation—raised nearly $600,000 for pancreatic cancer research bringing the 19-year cumulative total to more than $7.2 million. The LACC serves as the kick-off to Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in November. The day’s events were hosted by ABC7 Eyewitness News health specialist Denise Dador. Proceeds from the LACC benefit the Hirshberg Foundation’s philanthropic efforts to advance pancreatic cancer research and provide information, resources and support to pancreatic cancer patients and their families. “Each year, we see growth in attendance and support while simultaneously seeing an increase in pancreatic cancer diagnoses. Early detection is necessary and a cure must be discovered,” said the foundation’s Executive Director Lisa Manheim. Photo by Angela Daves-Haley

But, as her mom’s dementia progressed, she had no choice but to make the move. She was surprised to find that her mom’s life actually got better, because she had more support and a space that was easier to navigate.

Raya’s Paradise Offers Superior In-Home Care From A Leading Residential Care Provider, C.A.R.E. Homecare

aya’s Paradise—a collection of six highly-respected home-like residential-care facilities serving the entire Westside and Valley—is now offering that same superior care for clients in the comfort of their own homes. “We’ve been providing quality care since my mother, Raya Gamburd, established the first Raya’s Paradise in 1991,” says Moti M. Gamburd, CARE Homecare owner/executive director. “And we’ve had a lot of people saying “my relative is not quite ready for a facility, do you offer home care?” So the company has developed a service dedicated to helping clients in their homes. CARE Homecare (www.carehomecare.net) sends qualified and trained caregivers to homes to help with daily routines, tasks and non-medical observation. Services, available for 4 to 24 hours (in shifts) include providing medication assistance and reminders including pharmacy support, meal planning and preparation, exercise and strengthening, activities at home including art, music, reading, gardening, cooking, brain-stimulating activities, games and regular

physical activity, companionship, safe and reliable transportation to wherever clients wish to go and even light housekeeping. Moti Gamburd urges people to seek out licensed homecare agencies. Before this year the state did not require a license to operate a homecare; as of Jan. 1, 2016 the state has a new policy and homecare agencies must be licensed by the California Department of Social Services. CARE Homecare has been licensed since that date. Here are a few points to show how CARE Homecare differs from other agencies? • Caregivers are extensively screened and trained at Raya’s Paradise six locations (three more are on the way) so loved ones get the same level of care as they would at one of the residential care homes. • A full-time licensed nurse is on staff to assess homecare clients and make random visits to make sure care is appropriate and to suggest and implement changes as necessary. • All caregivers are employees, not independent contractors. They’re all insured and bonded; with

Workers Comp and liability insurance, a client in not responsible for any injuries sustained. • Caregivers are registered with the department of social services and have undergone full criminal background checks. • A full-time social worker/case manager also visits residents helping in any way they can with issues like finding doctors, dealing with VA benefits, etc. • CARE Homecare also has trained and experienced caregivers for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Over its years in business, Raya’s Paradise and CARE Homecare have developed a network of resources: Geriatric Psychiatrist, Mobile Physicians, mobile labs and any other procedure that needs to be done at home. To make sure clients’ homes are safe, The Gamburd family, owners and operators of Raya’s Paradise and CARE Homecare, also own a reputable home accessibility company, Gamburd Inc. (www.gamburd.com) developed and operated by Israel Gamburd who grew up in the residential-care industry with his brother Moti.

Gamburd Inc. provides ramps, grab bars, stair chairs and much more. Another advantage of CARE Homecare is that clients have the satisfaction of knowing they can easily transition into a Raya’s Paradise communities if they need to, often with just five other residents, and have the same carnegies, nurse, case manager, medical staff and administrator with a high level of care. “The care team remains the same,” says Gamburd. CARE Homecare has several long and established working relationships with some of the finest hospice and palliative care providers in L.A. County. Caregivers are not permitted to provide any “skilled medical care,” but they will work closely with the agency of a client’s choice to make sure their loved one stays as comfortable and pain-free as possible during hospice or palliative care.

By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills police were quick to react after one of the City’s residents was targeted Friday as part of a virtual kidnapping scam. On Monday, BHPD sent out a Nixle message alerting residents to the ongoing scam, which is taking place across the nation. The resident told the Courier that the callers knew her name and that initially she thought her grandson was in danger after hearing what appeared to be his voice, crying and asking for $8,000 in cash. “They knew my name...they had his voice,” she said. However, when she began to ask too many questions, she said the callers hung up. She immediately called the police after confirming that her grandson was safe. “Sometimes another person, claiming to be the kidnap victim is initially on the line asking for help, giving the impression that the family member has truly been kidnapped. The alleged kidnapper takes over the

phone call and requests ransom money by way of a wire transfer, such was Western Union, or cash,” BHPD described. Police recommend that targets ask to speak to the alleged kidnap victim and listen carefully to determine if it’s actually the family member. Simultaneously, while remaining on the phone, targets should call or text the alleged kidnap victim, and ask the caller to describe the individual as well as provide the name. Some indicators that the incoming call is a scam are: the incoming call is from an unknown long-distance phone number; the caller does not know the name of the person they have kidnapped; the caller will not let you speak with the alleged kidnap victim; the caller demands that you stay on the phone and will not allow you to make other phone calls; the caller will not allow you to call him/her back; and the caller demands ransom money by way of wire transfer or cash.

Frances Allen’s Desert Roundup Many new residents of the Coachella Valley are content to put their feet up and watch their world go by from a pool-side lounge chair. Not Larry Luckinbill, the talented actor, writer and husband of Luci Arnaz. The Luckinbills made their permanent home in the Desert several years ago and in contrast with those residents who are content to sit-back and let others carry-the-can, they became active and involved citizens. Just how concerned Luckinbill became about what he calls the short-sighted Palm Springs land rush was evidenced recently by an op-ed piece written by him in the Desert Sun, the local newspaper. What’s special about the op-ed he wrote is that its points could be applied to other Southern California cities as well. The main focus of Luckinbill’s column is that recent decisions made at City Hall - as well as future ones have the potential to turn a fine, old town into an unsustainable, citizenunfriendly mess with no discernible thought, passed by a city counsel without an urban plan that would make Palm Springs the most beautiful, sustainable, culturally rich city in the entire West. The call for a development slowdown has been heard in the Valley for years by people who wanted no, or very little, growth. The other side argues that Palm Springs must build to grow a sustainable city and we cannot live in the past. But Luckinbill raises another concern: does Palm Springs have the infrastructure to support unbridled growth? As a result of years of drought our aquifer is dangerously depleted. Our electrical grid is old and unreliable. Something, says Luckinbill, some indefinable mix of feelings, is slipping through our collective grasps and, if not taken seriously, will see the demise of Palm Springs. ****** “Intimate” may not be the word that describes the thousands of attendees for Modernism Week (which is really a 10-day, not 7-day event) to be held Feb. 21 through Feb. 26 throughout Palm Springs. So for those who cannot get enough of things Mid-Century Modern there was a two-day, advanced look and purchase event October at the items that will be available for viewing and purchasing come next February. From Tiffany lamps to jewelry, and everything in between, if you cannot find it here, it probably wasn’t made. The event will also include neighborhood double-decked bus tours, lectures and a few surprises. The Hilton Hotel and Spa in Palm Springs is the host hotel for the entire event and offering special package room rates. Call 760-320-6868. ****** Tickets are now on sale for the 2017 Rancho Mirage sponsored Speaker Series. Heading the lineup on Jan. 17, is Rita Moreno, who apart from her award-winning career as an actress, writer and singer, is also a philanthropist and humanitarian. One month later, on Feb. 21, Dr. Robert Ballard takes the stage and talks about his work as an explorer, including his discovering of the Titanic. Linda Greenhouse, Supreme Court media expert and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, will close out the series on Mar. 14. Information is at 760-324-4511.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid on 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 the outstanding lien 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 California Civil Code.

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Our local election this week had me thinking a lot about The Beverly Hilton and its incredible significance here in our City. My first visit to The Beverly Hilton was way back in the mid-1960s when my Aunt Miriam and Uncle Herb Liberman took me there with my parents for a fancy brunch that far outweighed my regular visits to the Encino House of Pancakes (still there). The hotel was classy and moumental in its stature and I recall getting one of those squeeze to open rubber coin purses in the hotel gift shop that special day. Today, many decades later, the prestige and warmth of the hotel remains intact under the watchful ownership of Beny Alagem. My wife Brigitte and I had our engagement dinner at Trader Vic's in February 2003 and have taken our daughters to movie nights the Hilton hosted on a large wall outdoors by the majestic swimming pool a few years back. It was a rare treat to watch family films and musicals like My Fair Lady while reclining in lounge chairs under summer stars. I am hoping these movie nights will return someday. Alas, Trader Vic's is gone, but we have the Trader Vic's Lounge as a nod to the legacy of the Mai Tai and patrons like Sinatra and Hugh Hefner, who were regulars. The Hilton has hosted many U.S. Presidents from JFK to Barack Obama in recent years. The Hilton and its owner have played host to many events here in Beverly Hills including El Rodeo School graduations and the venerable Golden Globe Awards. At a recent meeting at the hotel, Beny Alagem spoke warmly and with palpable passion for the neighborhood that he has lived in for 40 years, remarking that he wanted to “build a park for the kids at El Rodeo to look out at instead of a building.” Those words really resonated with me. As we greeted Beny he told our girls they could “visit the new bakery at the park, even before it opens.” I kept thinking: “We have such incredible hospitality in our neighborhood.” Such good manners are on constant display with many people who serve our City, like the police and fire department staff, several of whom were in attendance that evening. We are lucky to have The Beverly Hilton still standing in our City for 62 years and after leaving the recent event, I wished I could go home and catch The Merv Griffin talk show because I think Adam West (who played Batman on TV in 1966) is one of tonight's guests!! Hal Lifson ****** Donald Trump obviously pushed the right buttons with enough voters to win the election. Before I go on, let me say that I disliked very much, the awful comments he has made over the years about women. He has also been responsible for other memorable quotes.

However, he was right about the issues and problems facing this nation. Obama Care is a complete disaster. It needs to be done away with. Hillary wanted to save parts of it, but why would anyone want to save parts of something that doesn't work. Trump wants to stop the ﬂow of refugees. Hillary wanted to bring in tens of thousands more from Syria. But only the good ones. Really Hillary? How can you tell the good from the bad? Syria is being blown to bits. Where is the paperwork to document these “good” ones. It's not like there is a nice, plush ofﬁce sitting in the middle of the carnage with documentation for people. Also, we have countless Americans sleeping in the streets of our cities and towns. To bring in refugees and house them with food and medical care while ignoring our poor is wrong. Hillary just didn't get it. Her addressing crowds with her arms waving and smiling and yelling things like “I'm OK” and “What a great day” and “I've done nothing wrong” grew tired with the voters. Her history of abusing power and getting away with it became an issue. Her handing of those 33,000 emails was the beginning of the end. She bested Trump in two out of three debates but it didn't matter. No one knew what to believe from her. If you can't be trusted, that's a problem. I will mention that I would one day love to say ... Madam President. After all, girl power rocks. However, I knew months ago that Hillary Clinton was going to lose. Here is something I posted on the Internet before the election. It really explains why and turned out to be true ... Forget the polls. Two or three weeks ago, Hillary Clinton drew a crowd of 59 people in Ohio. At another Hillary event (indoors), half the seats were empty. Meanwhile, all across the country, Donald Trump was packing stadiums, had lines blocks long, had standing room only crowds and more. My sister attended a Trump rally in New Hampshire and she said there was so many people at it that it seemed like God was speaking. How can the polls be right when this is going on? Answer ... The polls are a joke, but the press loves them. The voters however, love Trump, which is why he will be the next president of the United States. George Vreeland Hill ******

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

Astrology By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 11). Blessings rain down like cosmic confetti. You've an inkling this is because of the help you've given in the past, and you'll accept the gifts with grace, though you'll keep paying them forward. Family expands in December, and you'll be a role model for those younger. Sweetness and excitement pepper your spring. Pisces and Gemini adore you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The more time you spend doing the thing you really love, the less appealing your former routine becomes. Something about this has got to give in the near future. Are you planning for that now? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you take your business to the next level, your personal life improves, and when you take your personal life to the next level, your business improves. As long as you're aiming upward with something, you're golden. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Over time, people will establish a pattern of behavior with you. Once you lock into that pattern, blame and credit are kind of a moot point. If they disappoint, that's on you. If they excel, you expect that, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your intuition might defy logic, but it will be right. That said, it's important to differentiate between intuition, which is proactive, mostly calm and generally peaceful, and paranoia, which is fearful, jittery and sickening. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You don't need expensive tools to be creative, but the right tool certainly has the power to inspire you. Consider borrowing, renting or trading in order to try things out before making a big investment. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Mystical experience cannot be communicated in words, but the poetry that swirls around it in the attempt can be most effective in changing the state of both the listener and the speaker. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Helping your friends is the most natural thing in the world for you, but mushy stuff makes you uncomfortable. The occasion calls for you to express your love. Speak from the heart and you'll do fine. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some believe the mind exists in the body, while others say it's animating the body from somewhere up in the cloud. Either way, as a being with mental capacities, the way you take care of your body changes your mind and vice versa. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A clearing process will begin as you try to make room for a newly kindling passion. The elements of your life that do not serve an obvious function will be up for scrutiny. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To truly understand the range of your ability, sometimes it takes a crisis. Not today. You'll push yourself to find your personal best just for the sheer fun of it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be asked about your work. To the wise and perceptive ear, your answers will be very telling. You might just surprise yourself with your own answers and learn something you didn't know before. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To be impressive, all you have to do is relax and act on your natural impulses. In other words, be you. When you're doing what's genuinely fun for you, you'll bring energy and excitement to others.
