The effort, called the National Fund for Sacred Places, is designed to help congregations and others with a stake in older religious properties make the most of them as civic assets.

The fund provides grants for planning and execution of urgent capital projects at sacred places that are valued for their critical importance as well as their role in providing human services, strengthening communities and revitalizing neighborhoods. The funds are used for training, capacity-building and technical assistance to ensure grant-funded projects are successfully planned and implemented.

It helps congregations make the most of their facilities as agents of community renewal, encouraging collaborations with outside groups to activate spaces in exciting and innovative ways that draw people to the sacred place.

Potential candidates submit a letter of intent as an indication of interest. Twelve congregations per year will be awarded a package of services.

There are matching grants of

$50,000-$250,000 available for capital projects. Applicants apply online. The sacred site must originally have been built as a house of worship and be owned currently by an active community of faith.

Buildings should be listed on, or eligible for listing on, the

National Register of Historic Places. Applicants are not required to have developed a repair plan, budget, or timeframe at the time of application. For further information, go to fundforsacredplaces.org or contact me at christy@historicresourcesgroup.com.

Hollygrove's Norma Jean Gala is set for May 18 Uplift Family Services at Hollygrove will hold its sixth annual Norma Jean Gala Thurs., May 18 at the W Hollywood Hotel. Dinner, entertainment and inspiration are on the bill.

Hollygrove’s most famous alumna, Norma Jean Baker, was under the agency’s care as a child before she came to be known as Marilyn Monroe.

Celebrating 150th year Today, in its 150th year, Hollygrove is one of the largest, most comprehensive behavioral and mental health agencies in California.

Its support group, the Hollies, was conceived in early 2015 by Sheri Weller. The Hancock Park resident now chairs the group which includes some 60 volunteers.

Other local Hollies are: Monica Corcoran, Raina Drag-

onas, Frances Gatti, Lenore Douglas, Rachel Feder and Jeet Sohal.

Honorees at this year’s gala are Hancock Park residents Matt Bomer and Simon Halls.

Bomer is a Golden Globe Award-winning actor. Halls is a founder and partner at Slate, an entertainment public relations agency.

Funds raised at the gala benefit programs that provide help and hope to more than 1,200 at-risk children and their families.

A full range of programs provides mental health services and outreach for the entire family to support every aspect of that child’s life.

Some people have time but not money. There’s something for everyone and we’re all in this together. It’s bigger than the sum of our parts.”

Levinson is not surprised by the growth of the charity. He always knew there was a need to provide volunteers with a roadmap to opportunities, and he’s finding that once they find those opportunities, their involvement only deepens.

“There are all types of

Kara Corwin Kara Corwin, who has volunteered for the organization for the last 12 years and is being honored at the charity’s second annual gala in April, agrees.

“Between work and kids and school, who has the time to

research and find a charity?” asks Corwin. “Big Sunday does the work for you, and brings so many people together from so many different directions.”

Corwin is the volunteer community service chair at The Center for Early Education, and two of her daughters attend Marlborough School and are frequent volunteers themselves.

“The Big Sunday organization is super dependable, vetted and family-friendly. If you have five hours on a certain day, you can sign up, commit and go. It’s that easy.”

Corwin recently helped start Big Sunday’s youth board, a group of students

(one per school) who represent their schools and serve as Big Sunday ambassadors to their school communities.

Corwin is thrilled to see the involvement that is spreading throughout the schools.

“The kids have collected food outside of grocery stores, made sandwiches for the homeless, spent time with the elderly, created murals and garden spaces… it’s amazing what kids can do. I’ve watched them create their own opportunities.

The journey and experience of it is amazing.”

Big Sunday makes helping others joyful, as well as rewarding.”

“Big Sunday has given my family opportunities to give back in creative, joyful and effective ways, and by teaching me that helping those less fortunate is not just a mandate, it’s an honor.”

Are There Ways To Deal with Waze?

More and more automobile drivers — maybe including you or your family — are using an app called Waze to find alternative, less congested routes through our car-clogged city. The small victory of beating the traffic is one in which we all can share the delight.

Not so delightful, however, is trying to back out of one’s own Windsor Square driveway into a steady stream of cars, as other commuters do the exact same thing through our neighborhood.

Our streets have increasingly become alternative routes for people trying to avoid the back-ups on major boulevards such as Beverly, Third, Wilshire, Highland, Rossmore-Vine and Wilton. Especially during morning and evening rush hours, commuters routinely speed and ignore stop signs, and they back up in long lines at stoplights or when making left turns.

Many residents, concerned about the safety of themselves and their children, as well as about the changing feel of the neighborhood, have wondered what can be done.

• How about speed bumps, many ask? Councilman David Ryu’s office explained that the city budget is only able to provide funding for two speed bumps per entire council district per year at present, though this may increase. However, anyone who observes the busy traffic on Arden Boulevard between Third and Beverly (where there are speed bumps) will recognize that they are not all that effective at slowing things down.

• How about creating more four-way stop intersections to slow cross-town traffic? This was done recently at Lucerne and Fifth, for example. Neighbors can make a case-by-case application to the Councilman’s office, and if the intersection meets the criteria (increased traffic and accidents, etc.), the change may be authorized by the City’s Department of Transportation.

• What about stationing policemen at busy intersections to catch speeders and scofflaws? Again, according to the Councilman’s office, this would only be effective as long as the police were actually in place. The city has neither sufficient manpower nor budget for such an allocation. (And one official added that many of those receiving tickets in such situations were unhappy locals themselves!)

• How about restricted turn signs, such as the “Right Turn Only” instruction at Windsor and Third? Again, these are primarily effective when there also is an enforcement presence — see above.

The foregoing is not particularly encouraging, unfortunately.

Short term, Windsor Square residents might try lobbying for the rare speed bump or new stop sign. Long term, we can hope that an improved mass transit system, including the Wilshire subway extension, will ease the problem. Most importantly, we can drive more safely and responsibly ourselves. Obey speed limits, watch out for pedestrians and bicyclists, and just say no to that “California Roll!”

The Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council is now taking applications for two Neighborhood Purposes Grants up to $1,000 each. The grants will be awarded to two groups serving the GWNC community and stakeholders.

The Chinese Theater, designed by architects Meyer and Holler, was built in 1927 for legendary promoter Sid Grauman and was the second of his movie palaces on Hollywood Blvd. The first was the Egyptian Theater.

The exterior of the Theater is meant to resemble a giant, red pagoda. The design features a dragon across the façade, with two Ming Dynasty guardian lions (“heavenly dogs”) guarding the main entrance, plus silhouettes of tiny dragons along the sides of the copper roof.

The Chinese Theater hosted the 1944, 1945 and 1946 Academy Awards ceremonies; they are now held at the adjacent Dolby Theatre, formerly known as the Kodak Theatre. There are nearly 200 Hollywood celebrity handprints, footprints, and autographs in the concrete of the theater’s forecourt.

The major suits are the powerhouses of bridge and when you have both of them you can often win the bidding. This can be done by reaching a makeable contract or by causing the opponents to misjudge what they can make. Because you have the major suits and therefore the important suits, the Michaels Cue Bid is an important weapon in your arsenal.

The requirements for a Michaels Cue Bid are: Not vulnerable: At least 5-5 in the majors and 8 High Card Points (HCP) with the points in your suits.

Vulnerable: At least 5-5 in the majors and 10 useful HCP. The big deal, if you are going to get good results from this convention, is that responder to the Michaels bidder then bids what her hand is worth.

Many fine Michaels Cue Bids go to waste because partner does not bid enough. Many Michaels hands go down in

flames because the Michaels bidder bids again when she should not have done so.

It is important that the responder to a Michaels Cue Bid knows to bid a lot when she has a good hand. If responder fails to bid when she should, the Michaels Cue Bidder will not know when her side should be going higher or when it should get out of the auction.

In a good partnership, the Michaels bidder knows that when her partner shows no interest, it is likely that she has a bad hand.

Hand One: 2 Hearts. Always, when you have equal length in partner’s majors, bid hearts.

There is no particular reason for this except that it’s the

Bridge Matters by

Grand Slam weakest bid you can make and leave it up to partner to choose which suit in which to play.

The one thing you should not do is bid 2NT. Forget about playing in notrump and try to get to a low and undoubled contract when you have a dog like this.

2 Spades.

Hand Two: Remember that partner has 5-5 in the majors. If, by some chance, opponents bid to three clubs, you may bid 3 Spades with this hand.

Hand Three: 3 Spades. A jump is invitational. It says you are interested in game. Your bid just shows around eleven support points. You have no idea of the strength of partner’s hand, so you must let her know when you’ve got good support.

If RHO bid 3 Clubs, you would also bid three spades.

4 Spades.

Hand Four: Counting your distribution you have an opening bid in support of spades. You also have four spades and you have

aces and shape. It would be sad to bid just two or three with this fine a hand, especially when you know that partner has only three total cards in the minor suits.

Hand Five: 3 Hearts, even though you have only three of them. Your partner has five so you know this is good enough support.

Michaels may also be used when opponents open one of a major. By cue bidding that major, you show partner that you have five cards in the other major and five cards in an unnamed minor. If partner wants to know your minor suit, she asks by bidding 2NT, after which you respond with your five card minor.

As mentioned earlier, it is important to bid Michaels when appropriate but you won’t get much benefit if your partner does not cooperate with you.

These hands show how important it is that your bids are disciplined and that you don’t “stretch” your bid and lie to your partner by either bidding without the promised shape of at least 5-5, or with the promised High Card Points.

Your partner will be trusting you that you have your bid and will bid accordingly. If you bid Michaels with only three HCP and your partner jumps to

game, as in hand 4, you could be in a world of hurt. Moral: Be Disciplined!

(Continued from Sec. 1, p. 1) neighborhood group, had a large impact on the ordinance’s passage.

Early on, a door-to-door petition received a 66 percent approval to move forward.

“That is a huge amount,” said Eisele, who was encouraged to plow ahead, leading to last month’s victory.

The improvements to the Baseline Mansionization Ordinance (BMO) include a “tighter ratio of house size to lot size, bigger setbacks, and elimination of most bonuses and exemptions,” according to Shelley Wagers of nomoremcmansionsinlosangeles.com.

“Big boxes that loom over their neighbors will be replaced by comfortable, spacious homes that fit the scale and character of their neighborhoods,” Wager said.

Ordinance approved The City Council unanimously approved the revised BMO March 1, and it went into effect March 17.

Originally passed in 2008 in response to a proliferation of out-of-scale buildings in residential neighborhoods throughout the city, loopholes in the original ordinance allowed developers

BOB EISELE of La Brea-Hancock Homeowners Assoc.

to continue to build homes too large for their lots, critics complained, and city officials directed the Dept. of City Planning to amend the ordinance.

Some provisions in the original ordinance — such as design bonuses — actually encouraged the kind of out-of-scale homes that the ordinance was designed to prevent, according to the Los Angeles Conservancy website.

Until last month, a developer or homeowner could build more than 4,300 square feet on a 6,000 square-foot lot.

Not any more.

6,000 square-foot lot) will be a little over 3,000 square feet, depending on garage configuration,” Wagers said.

A 200 square-foot exemption is available for garages built in the front of a lot and a 400 square-foot exemption remains for garages in the rear.

The residential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for single-family properties is restricted to 45 percent, which is down from 50 percent for properties less than 7,500 square feet. Properties 7,500 square feet or larger were previously restricted to 45 percent, and the new regulations do not change that.

‘Variation’ zones In addition, several neighborhoods received tailor-made zoning, called R-1 Variation Zones, created as part of the City Planning Dept.’s Neighborhood Conservation Initiative and consolidated into the BMO.

Both Larchmont and LaBrea–Hancock R-1 Variation Zones will include an RG Rear Detached Garage Supplemental Use District, meaning: “All new construction must have a rear garage,” said Barbara Savage, president of the La Brea–Hancock Homeowners Assoc.

“Our new R1R3-RG zone requires rear-massing if you build a second story (it can only be in the back of the house, not the front), allows only detached rear garages, and establishes a FAR of .43 for most of our lots,” said Eisele.

(R1R3 requires the rearmassing and is one of four variations of R1R, according to the ordinance.)

“Architectural style is not dictated by the new zone,” said Eisele, who lives in a 1924 Spanish Colonial Revival style home with a Batchelder tile fireplace — typical of those in the La Brea-Hancock area’s 12-blocks, a short walk to Wilshire Blvd., between La Brea and Highland avenues.

While the area is relatively small, “we had more attendees at hearings than most other neighborhoods,” Eisele said of (Please turn to page 13)

English Tudor is Showcase House 2017 Ridgewood-Wilton Assoc.

It’s a Wonderful Life at this neighbors to meet April 2 year’s Pasadena Showcase House of Design, which will take place from April 23 to May 21.

The English Tudor design by the architectural firm of Marston & Van Pelt is featured in the 53rd annual fundraiser spotlighting 17 interior designers and six exterior designers.

Constructed in 1916 at a cost of $25,000 for lawyer-turnedactor Samuel Hinds and his wife, the 7,479 square-foot main residence features six bedrooms and four bathrooms and two half-baths.

The two-acre compound includes a pool and badminton court on park-like grounds with rose bushes, an arbor and more than 100 trees and a faux bois bridge.

Mr. Hinds appeared in more than 200 films and is best known for his role as Peter Bailey, the father of James Stewart’s character and the founder of Bailey Building and Loan, in the classic holiday film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” (1946).

The house has also had several Hollywood moments, including in “La La Land” (its loggia and garden were the setting for a garden party wedding reception at which Ryan

Gosling’s character played the piano), “Beaches,” (it was the home of Barbara Hershey’s character) and the 1985 version of “Alice in Wonderland,” along with television episodes of “Columbo,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Mad Men.” Showcase House guests can dine at The Wisteria Terrace Restaurant, sip handcrafted drinks at The Ivy, and peruse The Shops at Showcase.

Proceeds benefit the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA), which provides music programs in the community. Tickets cost between $35-$45 and can be ordered at PasadenaShowcase.org or 714-442-3872. Parking and complimentary shuttle service is at the Rose Bowl, Parking Lot I.

Wattles Mansion is New Classics showcase home Built in 1908 by Hollywood financier Gurdon Wattles, the Mission Revival home, designed by Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey, will be open to the public as part of a designer showcase through Sun., April 16.

This year's theme, Hollywood History: The New Classics, will demonstrate through interior design how to reinterpret a historic home for today’s contemporary lifestyle.

Designers include neighbors David Dalton and Leslie Shapiro.

Ridgewood-Wilton Neighborhood Association (RWNA) annual meeting is Sun., April 2 at 3 p.m. at 221 S. Wilton Pl. Senior Lead Officer Joe Pelayo of the LAPD Olympic Division, and Philip Farha from the Land Use Committee of the Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council, are among speakers. “All residents of the Ridgewood-Wilton Neighborhood are welcome,” said RWNA president Jan Kesner.

Illuminating ending Among items not on the agenda, but enjoyed by the community, are the street lights south of Beverly Blvd. on Ridgewood, Wilton and First St. “The lights have been installed for approximately three to four years, and we are very happy,” Kesner said.

“It is a world of difference.

Where we used to have trouble with people lingering in their cars on our darkened streets in the late night hours, overnight they were gone.

“No more garbage left by these nocturnal partiers for us to find in the mornings. And, of course, it is much easier for us coming and going at night.”

She added, “Even the folks who were originally opposed to having the lights installed,

Featured Listings for the Month of April by

mostly due to the cost which was high, are now happy to have them.”

It took nearly a decade to have the streetlights installed but efforts accelerated following a series of burglaries as well as reports of prostitutes, Kesner said.

When burglars twice targeted a home that was being renovated before its owners moved in, Sheila Irani, then-field deputy in former Councilman LaBonge’s office, encouraged residents to have the lights installed.

“LAPD Olympic Division senior lead officer Joe Pelayo told her the lights would solve a lot of the problems, so that’s when we renewed our efforts,” Nora Friedman, who spearheaded the campaign, said in an article in the Larchmont Chronicle, July 2014.

The lights were paid for by residents, who were assessed on their property tax bills, from $6,500 to approximately $10,000 each (based on property frontage).

The RWNA represents a community of people who live in the 150 homes between Beverly Blvd. and Third St. on Wilton Place, Wilton Dr. and Ridgewood Pl.

1917 Hollywood: the bloom was on the chrysanthemum Consider 1917 — 100 years ago. In evolutionary time, 100 years is not even a whisper.

The Russian Revolution, the entry of the United States into World War I, the first woman elected to Congress. But, when you look at Southern California, 100 years has seen Home the passing of an eon.

Ground By 1917, by Southern Cali- Paula Panich fornia had emerged from three decades of real estate boom and bust and was just seven years past a period of industrial strife so intense that it amounted to “a state of war,” according to the historian Carey McWilliams, a battle that ended with the 1910 dynamiting of the “Los Angeles Times” building.

But in 1917, the idea and place of “Hollywood” seems to have coalesced, and the days of the infamous warnings on apartment buildings — no dogs or actors allowed — were over. Money talks. By 1915, the payroll of the movies amounted to $20 million.

The bloom was on the rose.

(I think the novelist Rachel Field’s observation still holds: “You can’t explain Hollywood.

There isn’t such a place. It’s just the dream suburb of Los Angeles.”)

“Flower Show Prizes Given” Well, the bloom was on the Hollywood rose in general — but in October of that year, it was especially on the chrysanthemums and dahlias in the “dream suburb.” It was the time of the Woman’s Club of Hollywood Flower Show, and on a Friday morning a writer for the “Los Angeles Times” was enthusiastic, writing that “the display was the finest the Hollywood Women’s Club has ever gathered for the annual show” and praising its “artistic mass of variegated color,” a rather variegated mass of words, don’t you think?

Chrysanthemums and peonies were the main competition of the autumnal show, though prizes were given for other blooms and flowering plants. “More than ordinary interest was taken in the war garden exhibit,” the “Times” reported, “a feature added because of unusual interest taken in vacant lot gardens in the Hollywood District.” No doubt these were among the

forerunners of World War II victory gardens.

Among the categories were “amateur,” “professional,” and a “school competition.”

Special exhibits included the results of canning courses at “the Normal School, Hollywood High School, and the Ramona Grammar School,” according to the “Times.”

The State Normal School, a teacher-training institution whose Los Angeles campus was founded in 1882, had its original site on Grand Avenue and Fifth Street. In 1914, the Normal School was moved to Vermont Avenue, now the site of Los Angeles City College, to allow the original site to be used to build a new Central Library. In May 1919, the Normal School became the Southern Branch of the University of California.

The “Times” cup, donated by the newspaper for the professional category honoring the “largest and best collection of chrysanthemums,” was awarded to Laughlin Park, which began as the lushly landscaped private garden attached to Cecil B. DeMille’s Hollywood villa, built by developer Homer Laughlin.

But in Los Angeles, nothing exists without the story of realestate developers, and flower

shows are no exception.

My friend Debra Prinzing bought on eBay this silver cup engraved with the name Mrs. H.J. Whitley. Although this was not mentioned by the “Times,” the cup undoubtedly was awarded at the 1917 Woman’s Club of Hollywood Flower Show.

Margaret Virginia Whitley and her husband, Hobart Johnstone Whitley, arrived in Southern California in the 1880s. Banker, entrepreneur, land developer, city planner — think of Whitley Heights — Whitley’s mark was indelible.

But was he the “father of Hollywood?” Or was that really Harvey Wilcox? Did Margaret Whitley dream up the name

Their dogged determination made an impact as did standing unanimous, said Diana Eisele. “It’s the staying power... I think our neighborhood started a citywide movement.”

The anti-mansionization movement actually began in Beverly Grove and led to the original ordinance passage in 2008. After their success, “other neighborhoods said we want that, too,” added Bob. Bob and Diana credited La Brea-Hancock president Barbara Savage and secretary Cathy Roberts.

Half a loaf While community activists worked hard for a prohibition of front-facing attached garages, the City Council did not support the request, “and we had to settle for half a loaf,” said Wagers, of Beverly Grove.

“The amended ordinances are not perfect, but they go a long way to honor the scale and character of L.A.’s residential neighborhoods and put a stop to McMansions that price so many families out of the market. And they provide a sound foundation for variation zones that offer additional options and set the

Rumors of this Roman hidden frog give this palace its name

(Continued from page 5) Dana Sayles, a spokeswoman for the project, tells the Chronicle that her team is working hard to design a project that is both “special” in design and that “creates community” for the surrounding neighborhood.

“There seems to be a general consensus that this is a terrible-looking site, and everybody would like to see something else there,” says Sayles.

The property has been used for auto repair for decades.

After meeting with the

the museum you visited.

The name derives from the Latin lateo — to hide — and accounts for it because of the legend that Nero once vomited a frog covered in blood, which he believed to be his own progeny, and had it hidden in a vault within the bowels of the palace. From that time it has Larchmont Village Neighborhood Association (LVNA) and the Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council (GWNC), Sayles says the project went through a substantial redesign to address concerns from the community.

“There were concerns about having something richer in context, and we wanted to understand the surrounding architecture more.”

The result is a modern interpretation of Art Deco style.

According to Sayles, the project is designed to complement the Paramount Master

Plan by creating housing and retail space for creatives working for the studio.

In regards to the project’s retail space, Sayles says they have spent a lot of time talking with neighbors about what they would like.

With 5,500 square feet, the space could be divided into one, two or three separate units, possibly including a café or other retail with outdoor seating.

“Those spaces are there to create community and as an amenity for the surrounding neighborhood.”

Worried about the project’s potential impact on parking?

Sayles says that no one in the building will be eligible to apply for preferential parking in the neighborhood, and that a parking attendant will be on-site any time the commercial space is open.

Opposition In a letter delivered to homes in Larchmont Village, resident Mary Ann Biewener asked her neighbors who are “concerned about this project” to send their comments to the City Planning Department.

“A new structure of 56 feet is out of scale with predominately single and two-story buildings of our residential neighborhood and is not consistent with the Wilshire Community Plan designation and policies,” the letter read.

Editor's note: the Wilshire Community Plan map actually designates these parcels for commercial or multi-family use.

elevations being in the south), it proves to be logical.

• • • Does a “curfew” have anything to do with dog-catching? asks Toby Mumford.

Nice try, but the cur here is from the Middle English word couverfeu — literally cover (put out) the fire. In the Middle Ages the threat of fire — the combination of candles, fireplaces and thatched roofs was a pyromaniac's dream. The constant fear of fire was addressed by a common municipal law mandating a set time at which all household fires were to be extinguished for the night.

• • • Why are elbows not allowed on the dinner table? queries Carolyn Johnson.

Table manners, invented in the Middle Ages, function to keep one from offending fellow diners by intruding on their culinary space. One doesn’t wave a fork, reach across the table, or cough into the roast peacock. Ancient diners needed to remind others and be reminded of their place in society at all times and elbows were banned from the eating surface because they not only made the offender resemble an animal hunched over its prey, but allowed one to encroach on another’s eating territory.

High German is the official and literary German, derived from the language of High or South Germany. Low German is the name applied to all other German dialects, mostly spoken in Low or North Germany. You might think the terms mean the opposite if you are looking at or thinking of a map of the country. But once you realize that high and low refers to altitude (the highest

I just returned from a trip to Rome, where I visited the Lateran Museum and was told that the name is derived from a frog. Can this be correct? ponders Judy Arbeiter.

Strange as it sounds, yes.

Now, stay with me. The opulent palace of a wealthy and noble Roman family was appropriated by the rapacious and unbalanced Emperor Nero (A.D. 66) and later given to St. Sylvester by the Emperor Constantine. It remained the official residence of the Pope until 1309 and was later destroyed.

The present palace was rebuilt on the same site and is now
