NOTICE OF
PUBLIC HEARING
DATE:
TIME:
February 27, 2014
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, February 27, 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 amend the Beverly Hills Municipal Code
regarding provisions for rooftop employee lunchrooms on
commercial buildings. Current code provisions allow for
rooftop employee lunchrooms to be exempted from applicable parking requirements only when the rooftop lunchroom
would exceed the otherwise allowable maximum height for
the property. The requested amendment would allow rooftop
employee lunchrooms to be exempted from providing parking, regardless of whether said employee lunchroom exceeds
the otherwise allowable maximum building height; and
Development Plan Review. A request for a Development
Plan Review for the property located at 228 South Beverly
Drive to allow the construction of an approximately 2,200
square foot rooftop employee lunchroom on the roof deck of
the existing building without providing additional parking
spaces. This 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.
This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority
and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental
regulations of the City. The project qualifies for a Class 5
Categorical Exemption for minor alterations in land use limitations and a Class 1 Categorical Exemption for interior and exterior alterations to an existing commercial building, and the project
has been determined not to have a significant environmental
impact and is exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or
present written comments to the Commission.
According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge
the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising
only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing
described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to
the City, either at or prior to the public hearing.
If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact
Ryan Gohlich, Senior Planner in the Planning Division at
310.285.1194, or by email at [email protected]. Copies
of the applications, plans, and Categorical Exemption are on file
in the Community Development Department, and can be reviewed
by any interested person at 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly
Hills, CA 90210.

within City limits.
In adopting the ordinance, the
Beverly Hills City Council also directed
the City staff and the Health and Safety
Commission to explore ways to further
restrict the use and sale of tobacco
products and e-cigarettes within City
limits, attracting widespread media
attention.
The City Council is concerned
about the potential health risks of electronic cigarettes and the growing popularity among teenagers, young adults
and non-smokers.
The new ordinance will amend the
City municipal code so that the definition of smoking will include e-cigarettes. Also, there will be an amendment to the City recreation and park
regulations to prohibit the use in City
parks and recreational facilities. The
devices are prohibited from being sold
at vending machines.
Electronic cigarettes are battery
operated, adjustable nicotine-delivery
systems that use vapor cartridges with a
choice of flavors.
The objective of the regulations are
a “healthy city.” The ordinance anticipates
the Food and Drug
Administration’s intent to regulate the
product as tobacco. Currently, state
laws only restrict the sale of e-cigarettes
to minors.
“Our job is to protect resident and
non-resident health by limiting availability and exposure and non-user
exposure,” said councilman Julian
Gold, who first directed staff to create
the ordinance.

costume and textiles at the Angeles
County Museum of Art offered the soldout lecture an intimate glimpse into
nearly a century of cinema and the interconnectivity of costume designers,
couture and actors.
“From the beginning, [the Oscars]
was a fashion event,” she said. “The relationship between Hollywood and
fashion dates to the role clothing plays
in storytelling.”
Costumes are foundational to
character, Esguerra explained, underscoring that clothing informs first impressions and signify change. Is the
character sassy? Reserved?
For example, designer Gilbert Adrian (the Wizard of Oz was among the
200-plus films he costumed) was transformational in the life and career of
Janet Gaynor, the first woman to win an
Oscar for “Best Actress.”
“Through clothing, he transformed
John Mirisch who opened the discussion on a “smoke-free” city. As proposed by Mirisch, the City could ask
businesses for a combination of voluntarily restricting use and sales and ordinances that will “fill in the gaps of existing state law” to keep smoking and vaping from affecting the public’s health.
Mirisch expressed a desire to “ban cigarettes sales or at least a partial ban.
There may be exceptions or a voluntary
program,” he said.
“Smoking of any kind should be
discouraged, especially for teenagers,”
said Mirisch. “By taking these steps, the
City is sending a strong message to the
community that we take the health of
our citizens very seriously.”
Gold cited the 443,000 deaths each
year the Centers for Disease Control
attributes to smoking. By contrast, drugs
and alcohol deaths combined are about
130,000.
The ordinance extends prohibitions
on smoking as well as vaping to include
public plazas, including open courtyards or spaces accessible to the public,
farmers markets, outdoor service lines,
such as ATMs, and outdoor public
events.
Health and Safety Commissioner
Chair Gail Millan made the presentation. The ordinance will have a second
reading at the March 4 City Council
meeting and become law on June 1. The
Commission provided the interim period for public outreach and education.
Vice Mayor Lili Bosse asked how
the ordinance would be enforced.
“We wouldn’t be able to go out and
aggressively enforce it,” said BHPD Lt.
Shan Davis, commander of Emergency
Services Bureau. Enforcement will be
primarily complaint-driven.
Kingsley in which a variety of Hollywood stars will take part, both by video

“Sir Ben’s commitment to Holocaust awareness and education is both

museum, which has hosted 36 million
visitors during its 20 years on the National Mall in Washington D.C.

her to a woman,” Esguerra said, underscoring how Adrian’s “grown up” designs for the diminutive actress got people to see her as an adult.
Over the years, a deep connection
between actors and designers blossomed (Adrian and Gaynor were married; Audrey Hepburn eventually added
a clause to her contract that she work
with Hubert de Givenchy) and cemented careers, such as Vera Wang, who
found success as a fashion designer after her friend Sharon Stone wore a
Wang creation to the Academy Awards.
Today, upwards of 40 gowns are
sent to top Oscar contenders for use on
the Red Carpet, pre-ceremony and
post-ceremony events.
Esguerra said she expected the Oscar for best costume designer would go
to Michael Wilkinson for his work on
American Hustle. In addition to perfectly capturing the period, she said: “He’s
just so nice.”

now.
“The drought is serious but it
could have been a lot worse,”
said Robert Wunderlich, board
member of the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern
California for Beverly Hills.
MWD's storage capacity has
increased from less than 1 million acre -feet of
water to over 5
million acre-feet

result of investments in storage
and conservation. So far, this
is the driest year

percent of normal. Our State

allocations are
coming
from
storage.
The good
news, he said, “Is that we have
unprecedented water supply
conditions and we are prepared
to meet the demand. But conservation is essential to reduce the
demand.” He cited efforts to curb
usage, drought-resistant planting,
wiser use, changing habits and
overall lower demand.
Last year was drier than
expected, with an increase in
demand for water. With such a
large supply of stored water, the
WMD was able to meet the
demand without having to recover the cost of buying the water.
The cost of that water was
incurred when it was originally
purchased and stored. The result
is that there is more money than
was expected.

Downton Abbey Stars Attend Mulberry Dinner
The BAFTAs may have been taking place on the
same night, but Mulberry boasted a starry
turnout of its own at a dinner Sunday with
guests including Allen Leech, Lily James,
Holliday Grainger, and Freddie Fox. Leech and
James are filming the latest season of Downton
Abbey.
“Our calves are coming out,” said James of the
hemlines on the costumes. “And the dresses
we're wearing you could easily wear today.”
Leech said he has no plans to quit Downton,
unlike some of his original co-stars. “As long as
Julian [Fellowes] keeps writing, I'll keep acting,” he said. Leech also stars alongside Keira
Knightley and Benedict Cumberbatch in The

Noel Coward’s Brief Encounter
Now at The Wallis Thru March 23
The latest version of Noel
Coward’s ‘30’s era drama, Brief
Encounter, about requited and
unrequited love in “all too proper” England opened to a sell-out
audience
at The
Wallis
Annenberg Center for the
Performing Arts Wednesday in
the Bram Goldsmith Theater.
This production, from
England’s Kneehigh Theater
Company, proved again that
British-trained
actors
and
actresses can actually act. The
play is a big step up from The
Wallis’s first show, Parfumerie.
Kneehigh is an ensemble
company. Emma Rice is artistic
director and choreographer.
Perhaps it’s hard to make
something work today that
shocked the “this is not done”
audiences of about 80 years ago
when first performed. This production does a fine job of it.
The leads, Jim Sturgeon and
Hanna Yelland, are fresh-looking and convincing. The supporting cast, led by Annette
McLaughlin and Joe Alessi,
nearly steal the show. Character
actress comedienne supreme,
Dorothy Atkinson, always
brought laughs from the audience with her well-timed antics.
All could sing just fine.
Tickets are available online

Shen Yun Dance Spectacular Returns To Nokia
The Shen Yun World Tour
returns to Los Angeles on March
22-23 in the Nokia Theatre at
L.A. Live, bringing back 5,000
years of Chinese civilization
and culture that were nearly
lost.
The dance and music performance dancers are trained in
classical Chinese dance.
During Shen Yun (which
translates to “divine beauty or
grace”) performances, audiences are taken on a journey
through ancient legends, modern heroic tales and stories set
in heavenly realms.
Dancers who perform stunning aerials and leaps are
dressed in richly colored traditional costumes and accompanied by animated interactive
backdrops, that add a modern
edge to the performance, and a
live orchestra.
The Shen Yun Performing
Arts World Company, a nonprofit based in New York that

Chinese regime, is committed
to sharing the Chinese heritage,
with people of all cultures.
Academy Award-winning
actress Cate Blanchett said:
“[Shen Yun is] exquisitely beautiful…an extraordinary experience for us and the children.
The level of skill, but also the
power of the archetypes and the
narratives, were startling.”

CHLA Awarded $17 Million From NIH
To Fund Clinical HIV/AIDS Research
Grace Aldrovandi, MD,
CM, principal investigator at The
Saban Research Institute of
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
(CHLA), has been awarded $17
million by the National Institute
of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, part of the National
Institutes of Health. The goal of
this grant is to provide scientific
leadership and infrastructure for
laboratory testing as part of the
International Maternal Pediatric
Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials
(IMPAACT) Network.
“HIV infection is a global
public health issue, with children, adolescents and women
being particularly vulnerable,”
says Aldrovandi, who is also
professor of pediatrics, pathology and molecular microbiology
and immunology at USC’s Keck
School of Medicine.“ Our work
on optimizing the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of HIV
infection in these populations
will benefit nations, communities and families throughout the
world.”
The specialized laboratories
of the IMPAACT Network have
been crucial in establishing the
standards of care for HIV-infected pregnant women, children
and adolescents. The IMPAACT
Network Laboratory Center, led
by Aldrovandi, will continue to
support clinical trials aimed at
curing HIV, optimizing antiretroviral therapies, decreasing
incident HIV and HIV-associated infections, evaluating treatments for tuberculosis (including multidrug resistant tuberculosis), improving TB diagnostics
in children, and decreasing
mortality and morbidity, and
enhancing the diagnosis, prevention and management of
HIV-related complications.
These laboratories have
been on the forefront in the
development of assays for infant
diagnosis, viral load monitoring,
drug resistance, antiretroviral
pharmacology, host genetics
and the measurement of
immune responses.
They have also developed
new methodologies and novel
approaches to work with the
small volume of specimens
available from infants, children
and pregnant women.
Aldrovandi will provide
oversight to more than 50 laboratories in the U.S., Asia, Africa
and India. “Childhood stands
out as the single best time to
maximize our human potential,”
says Brent Polk, MD, director of
The Saban Research Institute.

How The Brain Networks: USC Researchers
Reveal White Matter ‘Scafforld’ Of Human Brain
For the first time, neuroscientists have systematically identified the white matter “scaffold”
of the human brain, the critical communications
network that supports brain function.
Their work, published last week in the opensource
journal
Frontiers
In
Human
Neuroscience, has major implications for understanding brain injury and disease. By detailing
the connections that have the greatest influence
over all other connections, the researchers offer
the first map of core white matter pathways, and
also show which connections may be most vulnerable to damage.
“We coined the term white matter ‘scaffold’
because this network defines the information
architecture which supports brain function,” said
senior author John Darrell Van Horn of the USC
Institute for Neuroimaging and Informatics and
the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at USC.
“While all connections in the brain have
their importance, there are particular links which
are the major players,” Van Horn said.
Using MRI data from a large sample of 110
individuals, lead author Andrei Irimia, also of the
USC Institute for Neuroimaging and Informatics,
and Van Horn systematically simulated the
effects of damaging each white matter pathway.
They found that the most important areas of
white and gray matter don't always overlap.
Gray matter is the outermost portion of the brain
containing the neurons where information is
processed and stored. Past research has identified the areas of gray matter that are disproportionately affected by injury.
But the current study shows that the most
vulnerable white matter pathways – the core

Although I am not an M.D.,
I’d bet that this also reduces
blood pressure and heart rates
and is a better anti-anxiety than
medication.
Occasional arguments, or
different points of views are
expected in a relationship or
marriage. But when conflicts
become frequent and a partner
feels he or she must work hard
to be understood and validated,
it is extremely distressing.
The hope is that in healthy
relationships we choose partners who will nurture and nourish us through thick and thin.
When a partner has a different opinion or view, it can be
stated in a kind and supportive
manner. If it is presented in a
critical, judgmental or putdown
way, it’s counter-productive and
over time may cause cracks in
the foundation of the marriage
as well as potential health problems.
Q. Dear Dr. Fran, our 7-yearold son has started to cuss and
say bad words. How do you
best suggest we deal with this?
Michael M.
A. Dear Michael: The best ways
to deal with your child cussing
and using bad language are to
have him “correct"” what he
just said.
For instance, if he says:
“You B____!;” it is up him to fix
it by using other words to tell
you he’s angry. He can say:
“Mom, I hate your rules” or
“Mom, “I’m super mad at you!”
Depending on the age of
the child, sometimes when the
child is very young , under 4
years; it’s better to just ignore
the words and let their power
fizzle.

Control Devices Committee for
the state of California that
longer yellow light intervals are
safer and prevent accidents, the
committee is considering a
change. A longer interval will
be determined either by considering the actual speed of
drivers or mandating the posted
speed limit PLUS 7 mph.
Jay Beeber is on the Traffic
Control Devices Committee.
The interval for the
Wilshire/Whittier PRL is currently set at 3.3 seconds, a minimum based on 30 mph, in a
zone where motorists typically
drive 40-45 mph, studies show.
Beeber says that its just not
enough time to slow down.

Q-4 Prime Residential Strong in LA, Beverly Hills
By Victoria Talbot
A report, authored by the Agency
on Prime Residential Real Estate, shows
a strong fourth quarter market with tight
inventory and improving values for both
single-family and condominium homes
in the $1 million and above prime market.
Consistent with reports from realtors throughout the past 6-months, the
agency says that a deficiency of inventory and strong demand are driving prices
up in both markets, but especially in
condominiums.
“The lack of inventory in prime
neighborhoods has driven buyers, who
would otherwise be single-family home
buyers, into condominium markets as
location has trumped size in recent
years,” said the report. Buyers who
would like to purchase a home are cooling their heels in condos until the market settles up.
Sales are

Similarly, prime market condos
priced over $500,000 are trending to

Westwood, Cheviot Hills and

The market is still catching up to
pre-recession levels, but it is strong,
consistent and under-supplied. Real
estate remains a strong investment statement, which still has room to appreciate.

Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies
(makes an 8 x 8-inch pan)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter or unrefined coconut oil (does infuse a hint of
coconut)
• 8 ounces bittersweet or dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 10 pitted dates (buy the moistest ones
you can find), about 1 cup
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar (or cane
sugar)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup GF oat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking
powder
• 3/4 teaspoon instant coffee powder
(optional, but makes the brownies taste
more chocolate-y)
instant coffee powder until just combined.
Pour into the prepared pan and
bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a
toothpick inser ted in the center
comes out with moist crumbs, but not
wet. Do not overbake. Transfer pan to
a wire rack to cool completely. They
taste best if they have been allowed to
sit at least an h-our.
Run a knife or offset spatula
around the edges of the pan. Pull on
the edges of the parchment to lift
brownies out of pan. Transfer to a cutting board; cut into 2-inch squares.
Notes: You can fold in 1/2 cup
chopped or halved walnuts and/or 1/2
cup chocolate chips after the flour.

Place butter in a large heatproof
bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water; dip a pastry brush in the melted butter and use it to grease the bottom
and sides of an 8 x 8-inch baking pan.
Add the chocolate to the melted butter
and stir frequently until chocolate is
melted. Remove bowl from heat; let cool
about 10 minutes.
Place the dates and the hot water in
a medium bowl and allow to soak for at
least 10 minutes while you prepare
everything else.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line the baking pan with parchment
paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on two
sides. Set aside.
Transfer the dates and water to a
food processor fitted with the metal
blade and process until a smooth paste
forms. Add the palm sugar and process
until smooth. Alternately you can do this
in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat
with the paddle attachment. However,
the food processor will make the date
paste much smoother.
Add the date-sugar mixture to the

well. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition.
Whisk in vanilla.

Late Child Star Icon/Diplomat Shirley
Temple Had A Beverly Hills Connection
By Laura Coleman
The late child star turned
diplomat Shirley Temple Black,
who died last week at age 85
spent her early adult years
when marriedto actor John
Agar as a resident of Cielo
Drive in Beverly Hills.
The legendary movie icon
was born in Santa Monica and
grew up in Brentwood began
her film career in 1932 and
two years later found international acclaim in Stand Up
And Cheer and Bright Eyes,
features designed specifically
for her talents and for which
she won a Juvenile Academy
Award.
From 1935 through 1938,
Temple became the #1 box
office star and is often credited
for saving her employer–Fox
Film Corporation (later 20th
Century-Fox)– from potential
bankruptcy with such hits as
Curly Top, Captain January,
Our Little Girl, The Littlest
Rebel, Poor Little Rich Girl,
Heidi and others.
John L. Seitz, The Courier’s
senior editor, recalls his father,
the esteemed pioneer cinematographer/inventor John F.
Seitz, who shot five of those
hits, telling him: “Shirley was a
real pro in every sense of the
word. She had her dance routines with such talents as Bill
‘Bojangles’ Robinson and
Buddy Ebsen as well as the
speaking lines of herself and
those of her fellow actors
down pat. There were very few
repeat takes required.”
Temple films were seen as
generating hope and optimism,
and President Franklin D.
Shirley Temple
Roosevelt said: “It is a splendid
thing that for just 15 cents, an
American can go to a movie
and look at the smiling face of
a baby and forget their troubles.”
When she reached adolescence, however, her career
began to wane and by age 12,
she had left Fox and entered
Westlake School for Girls.
Temple’s movie career never
regained its footing though she
appeared in a handful of MGM
and David Selznick films during her later teen years.
Temple began her diplomatic career in 1969, with an
appointment to represent the
U.S. at the United Nations
General Assembly; appointed
U.S. ambassador to Ghana,
and later Czechoslovakia;
then became the nation’s first
female chief of protocol. In
1988, she published her autobiography, Child Star.
After her first marriage to
John Agar ended, Temple was
married for 55 years to Charles
A. Black who died in 2005.
She has three children: Linda,
Charles and Lori.

The problems came to the
public’s attention recently with
a dispute over the protection of
the Kusama Hymn of Life,
which flared in a rather public
way at City Council last month.
Fine Art Commissioners and
Recreation
and
Parks
Commissioners had agreed on
an “inverted barrier,” a motelike structure that would have
surrounded the art at a cost of
$75-100,000. Then, at the

Council meeting, Commissioner
Robbie Anderson surprised
everyone with a “post and
chord” solution similar to that
on boats, at a fraction of the
cost.
At the same time, disagreement over the placement of
future acquisitions in the parks
surfaced, exacerbating problems between the two commissions. Councilmember Gold,
who serves as a liaison on both
commissions, volunteered to
assist with “talking through the
issues,” to arrive at a satisfactory
recommendation.
The Commissions have
agreed to the following procedures and jurisdictions: The Fine
Art Commission (FAC) will
advise the Recreation and Parks
Commission (RPC) in the earliest stage of acquisition of their
intent and selected installation
sites. If a site cannot be agreed
upon, the dispute shall be
resolved with the City Council.
LEAK
CENTENNIAL
Community Art project will
consist of photos taken by
local residents as well as by
Beverly Hills artist-photographer Zale Richard Rubins.
Richard and Brenda
Rubins have developed the
initiative for a celebratory art
show in the City Hall
Municipal Gallery and the
Beverly Hills Art Show.
“We would like to show
what life is like beyond the
media, and to gather photo
images that will be our own
statement of Beverly Hills
Days . . . to create a tapestry of
images that truly represents
the City,” said Richard and
Brenda Rubens.
The images will be harvested over a 2-4 week period
of community outreach in the
late spring. They will be submitted through a website and
assembled into the image of
the Beverly Hills shield.
Richard Rubins is also documenting Centennial events
throughout the year.

resumed Tuesdays evening and
was not present at the time of the

“We’re taking formal steps to
investigate the alleged leak [and]
I’m hoping it shows transparency,” Board President Noah Margo
told The Courier. “This should be
a very simple investigation.”
Paysinger is under investigation by the district for financial
dealings of the privately operated

which he and others operated for
several years. That investigation
is still underway and a final report is still forthcoming.

Desert Roundup
Desert AIDS Project celebrated its 30th anniversary at
the 20th Steve Chase
Humanitarian Awards Gala.
It’s the largest LGBT/straight
event in the Valley and it took
the resources of the Palm
Springs Convention Center to
accommodate
the
SRO
crowd of about 1,500 creatively-costumed party-goers
who had cocktails among a
huge silent auction before sitting down to a three-course
meal, entertainment and
awards presentation.
Presented by Integrated Wealth Management and co-chaired
by Jim Casey and Barbara Keller (pictured above), local caterer
Savories, provided the meal and Helene Galen the entertainment
presented by Live It Up Productions.
The evening’s honorees were Desert AIDS Project board member Curt Ringness, Jr., who received the “Distinguished
Leadership” award for 14 years of service to the organization;
David Kaplan and Glenn Ostergaard received the “Partners for
Life” award; and, Terri Ketover for her work on behalf Desert AIDS
“100 Women” award.
The evening also recognized those who are active in support
of “AIDS in Cinema.” They included Sarah Pillsbury and Midge
Sanford of And The Band Played On; David Roos of Boys On The
Other Side; David France and Joy Tomchin of How To Survive A
Plague; and, Ron Nyswaner and Ed Saxon of Philadelphia.
Following the adage that “one good party deserves another,”
Desert AIDS project presented a high-energy after-party at the
Convention Center for those unable to cut the fun short … they
weren’t wrong. The after-party lasted as long as the one that preceded it.
Why is this important? Because the Steve Chase Humanitarian
Awards raises more than $1 million for Desert AIDS Project services, which include providing physical, emotional and healthcare
to persons living with HIV and AIDS in the Coachella Valley. More

I TA L I A N R E S TA U R A N T
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 21). You
are wiser than ever this year and seek
an empowering viewpoint in all
things. Money you’ve waited for finally arrives in March. April has you processing surprising feelings. You’ll love
the professional development that
happens in May. June brings fast
action, money and change. Sagittarius
and Aries people adore you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Appearances will be more important than
usual. You’ll dress to show your
respect to the people around you, and
they will appreciate the way you class
up the environment.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). This is no
time to show your work to negative
people. Seek the response of encouraging people only. Less than helpful
feedback will make you want to
splurge on something that will make
you feel better.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even
though you were born under the stars
of material wealth, you make your life
about people and relationships, not
things. At least you try to do this.
Today you may have to try harder than
you do on other days.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone
depends on the kindness of strangers,
and the go-to stranger today will be
you. You will be kind, indeed; just be
sure to be smart, as well. Don't let
your guard down.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Beauty is
about romance, romance about mystery, and mystery about ignorance. The
less you tell someone about yourself
the more beautiful you may be to that
person now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve been
known to balance efforts to entertain
others with stretches of time spent hiding out. It’s an excellent idea, as you
are sure to feel recharged at the end.
But consider what you’re really hiding
from.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You desperately need a practical soul on your
side. The people you’re among do not
represent the majority, though they
speak like they alone have the key to
knowledge.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People
want your focused attention. People
want anybody's focused attention. It’s
such a rare commodity these days, but
you give focus and feedback in an
especially heartening manner.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t
expect your loved ones to want what
you want. You don’t see things the
same way or have the same needs, so
why would you? No wonder they feel
free around you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Strength untapped is passive and neglectful. Uncontrolled strength is violent. The events of the day are
designed to help you be your best by
finding your strength, tapping it and
controlling it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Fellowship and community fulfill a
human need. That’s why solitary confinement is considered punishment.
However, lately you may feel like
you're getting a little too much of a
good thing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will
be hard to separate what is said from
the person who says it, but you
should. Extremely credible advice will
come from an unlikely and unpopular
source.

OBTAINED WILL BE
USED FOR THAT

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, this information can be obtained

POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If

you should understand
that there are risks
involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will
be bidding on a lien, not

Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not

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

ON THE GOOD SHIP LOLLIPOP
Shirley Temple has died and with her a bit of my youth. She was born
when I was 9, which makes me old enough to remember when she was
a child star. Among my memories of her is this tot dancing with Bill
“Bojangles” Robinson, an African-American dancer of note.
The Courier is proud to be a
Education Partner
Unlike child stars who quickly fade after the earliest years, she went
on to become a mature adult, who performed diplomatic chores for our
country. She succeeded in making a smooth transition from wildly
adored child star to adult diplomat, representing our country in many
ways around the world.
Hers is the rare story of a universally famous child star becoming a
universally respected diplomat. In a subtle way, she paved the way for
other major actors to make their contribution on the broader canvas of
diplomacy. She comported herself always with dignity and reflected
credit upon our nation in each of her functions.
For me as perhaps for many others, a major image of her that stays
with me is of this precocious child who grew up to be one of our most
distinguished public servants. No matter how I try, all of her senior activities are somehow less memorable to me than the super cute tot singing
When the Beverly Hills City Council rejected the applications of the Metropolitan Transit On The Good Ship Lollipop.
From the Publisher
CLIF SMITH
METRO SESSIONS–
TALK, AND ZERO ANSWERS
Authority for permits to dig up Beverly Hills and block Wilshire Boulevard, the council–led by Vice
Mayor Lili Bosse with strong questioning by Mayor John Mirisch and Councilmember Nancy
Krasne–asked some pretty straight-forward questions. All the questions can be summarized as
“What’s going to happen to our people, their homes, their businesses and our streets?”
Neither Metro’s representatives nor the City staff could or did answer any of them. In the face
of no answers, the council properly rejected the permits.
To keep matters moving, the council asked Metro and the City staff to hold public sessions for
residents and affected businesses to learn their concerns and give answers. Some of the specific
questions asked by the council, and which Metro and City staff were supposed to answer, are set
forth below. Also below are the “answers” Metro and City staff gave at the public sessions last
week.
Metro and the City staff held the meetings. The people came and asked. These are the
“answers” they heard:
•Electricity: If you lose electricity, call Southern California Edison. This is not our problem.
•Natural Gas: If you lose your natural gas, call the Gas Company. This is not our problem.
•Telephone and Internet: If you lose your telephone and Internet, call the phone company.
This is not our problem.
•Water: If you lose your water, call the water department. This is not our problem.
•Parking: Not our problem. You’re on your own.
•Who Will Do This Work: We don’t know; hasn’t been decided yet.
•What Happens if the Contractors Mess Up: Don’t call us, call them. Won’t be our fault –
it will be their fault if there is a fault.
•Whom Do We Call: Don’t know.
•Traffic Disruption and Congestion: It will happen. Tough.
•Police, Fire, Paramedic Access: No answer.
•How Long Will This Last: Up to eight years or more.
•How Do We Know What Will Happen: Read your notices from Metro. You’ll get them 3
days ahead of time (maybe).
When the City staff was asked about these non-answers, our vaunted City of Beverly Hills staff
simply responded, “You’ll be better off with the subway.”
So, what answers will the council have when the Metro permits come before them again?
Same as they had before – none.
The notion that Beverly Hills would allow anyone to tear up our streets, cut off utilities, block
traffic and obstruct access for police, fire and paramedics is ludicrous, not to mention dangerous.
The fact that Metro proposes to do all of this with no answers or plans for our people is unreasonable. So far, there is no reason for our council to grant Metro any permits, even if our City staff
wants to roll over. We hope the council continues to demand real answers before granting any permits.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
This topic has been addressed by The Courier and myself ad nauseum. I have also been at the council chambers to expose the problems and the City remains in oblivion.
Is concern of liabilities heating up? Is that why Mayor John Mirisch,
Mr. Aluzri and Mr. May are showing concern because a B.H. resident
was recently bitten by a dog without a leash, a small dog was killed
and a second badly injured. These cases were brought to the attention of the City by a councilmember and me, it was not a city finding.
Our city manager and sub- manager have not shown up to the
plate yet and, of course, the city attorney who should have been
advised by the city clerk or the council secretary is also failing to
appear. Now that we perhaps have their attention, they are going the
roundabout way. For example, they don’t want to hear that the L.A.
Animal Control does not come to B.H. as, perhaps, they see us as a
lost cause.
The other silly idea is that they are going to study the subject, even
if they change the municipal code. I have news for these City
mavens–the laws in the City and the state are very clear. Signs are
posted in the parks including the reservoir on Sunset and Rexford. The
issue is enforcement. I have learned the police are short in personnel
and are working at hiring officers. I think officers would accept working weekends etc., if given additional compensation. Either way, as
long as the City is focused on enticing more tourists to the City with
closure of streets for marathons and other festivities, there will never
be enough policemen. In the meantime, perhaps our cycling officers
can ride by and cite the lawbreakers.
In addition to those unheeded laws are sidewalk bicycles amongst
the pedestrians, armored trucks illegally double parked creating traffic
havoc and tourist busses parking (with no driver in sight) along
“fire department only” curbs. Watch out for Segways as soon as the
City allows them to use the sidewalks.
A solution..... revamping of the City, which is bound to happen.
More important is a joint effort by us to make sure the council, city
attorney and the City will be liable along with the dog owners specially when they have been warned of existing dangerous issues?
Pablo Nankin, MD

According to former Mayor Stephen Webb, we have sub-committees in our committees. Now who appoints/elects them–is it a subsub committee? What we don't need is anything that perpetuates current conditions. The framers of our Constitution had it right. One term
term limit of limited duration for all elected and appointed positions
in our government. And when that term is up, the individual returns to
the community as a private citizen without any special privileges.
Robert Block
******
I disagree with the Beverly Hills City Council on the issue of regulating and treating e-cigarettes as the same as tobacco. I do not
smoke, but know that e-cigarettes have nothing to do with tobacco
and should not be treated as such.
Councilmember Julian Gold who is a doctor is way off base about
comparing e-cigarettes to smoking tobacco when he said: “I’m very
passionate about this. I really don’t believe there’s a greater public
health issue than smoking.” I have seen people using these e-cigarettes
and in no way are they harmful to others nor the environment.
Also, trying to use this regulation is a step towards making B.H.
one of the healthiest cities in the world as stated by a councilmember
is a bit of a joke. The traffic that flows through here alone will make
that effort futile. Add the fact that we are in the middle of L.A. will
only guarantee that we will remain one of the most unhealthiest cities
in the world.
If you want to concern yourself with people's health, then allow
the use of e-cigarettes because they are a positive step in lowering the
use of tobacco related cigarettes. The council needs to concentrate on
Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter issues that pertain to Beverly Hills and not on things they know little
or nothing about.
